Dianna Snape
For over a decade Dianna Snape has been getting up earlier than the sun, travelling hundreds of miles to unfamiliar places and lugging around ridiculously heavy equipment. All in pursuit of one thing – great photography.
Hard working and refreshingly candid, Dianna brings a smart approach to all that she does and every photo she takes. And the hard work is paying off. Artichoke, Inside, Frame, Monument, Indesign and other top magazines around the world have chosen Dianna's work for their glossy pages. The critics agree too. They've voted Dianna in Capture Magazine's 'Top 10 Architectural Photographers in Australia' for 2009 and 2010.
When she's not travelling on assignment (or for inspiration), you can find Dianna and her team in her loft studio in St Kilda, Melbourne, where they work tirelessly crafting and optimising images to the highest professional standard.
And yes, she probably has to get up early tomorrow.

1913: To all the ships at sea: "Norfolk, Va. (AP) — A belligerent billy goat's lack of respect for the uniform was the cause for an order by Rear Admiral R.M. Doyle banishing all of the sailors' pets and mascots from battleships, cruisers and receiving ships at this station. Admiral Doyle is reported to have been inside the uniform when the goat, a mascot aboard the New Hampshire, butted it so vigorously that it toppled over on the deck. The goat is now an exile and with him went a long train of cats, dogs, parrots, bears and other goats."

1963: Surrender your weapons: "Phillipsburg police issued a warning that any resident of he community found using or possessing any type of gun firing pellets by air or spring power faces prosecution. Juvenile Officer Ronald Wynkoop said slingshots are in the same category as air guns. He said police have received several complaints from residents of the Summit Avenue and Bullman, Bennett and Morris streets area. One air rifle and two slingshots were confiscated in that section, Wynkoop said. The ban against air guns and similar weapons is contained in state law. A local ordinance also bans slingshots and bows and arrows. Wynkoop suggested parents of boys possessing such weapons call police and arrange for them to be picked up."

1988: Musikfest prepares for rain: "Musikfest '87, Bethlehem's nine-day August festival, pulled in a record $1.9 million in revenues last year, according to the festival's financial report. After paying bills totaling $1,826,000, the Bethlehem Musikfest Association wound up with a surplus of $97,405. Tom Kwiatek, association executive director, said the surplus would be added to the $100,000 left over from the festivals and used as a 'rainy day fund.'"

The Kentwood-born contestant on "Top Chef: Seattle" went from first to worst: she won four Elimination Challenges, and was a favorite to win the whole shebang, until she was controversially booted from the competition on last week's episode.
The judges wavered between Kish and Josie Smith-Malave, who clashed during the show's Restaurant Wars competition. Kish was lead chef, and ultimately took responsibility for the overall failure of her staff, even though Smith-Walave failed to perform several tasks appointed to her.
Think about it: if you get bad food from a restaurant, the cook doesn't talk to you, the manager does. The buck stops with who's in charge, so Kish fell on the sword. That's how it works in real life.
"Top Chef" fans voiced their outrage, and railed against Smith-Malawe, who poured salt in the wound at the end of the episode by saying she did what she had to do to stay alive in the competition.
The result sent Kish to the show's Internet spinoff, "Last Chance Kitchen," where eliminated chefs battle head-to-head, and the last one standing gets to re-enter the competition later in the season. Kish beat out Chris "CJ" Jacobson to stay alive.
Here's what Kish had to say in the wake of her elimination:
The last time I talked to you, you said you weren't catty or petty. I think you proved it in that episode.
Well, in that moment - it's overwhelming, and it's hard to find the right words. But like I have before, I bit my tongue and kept my mouth shut. ... There were so many things (that went wrong). I was just stating facts. We're all adults, and I think it was her responsibility to admit to her faults like I did.
Tom Colicchio posted on his blog that he regretted eliminating you, and that Josie deserved to lose. Did you find that vindicating at all?
I read all that stuff. Everyone is stating valid points. I feel real bad for Josie, especially the things people are saying about her. I did reach out to her about it.
Tom wrote that you showed character. I agree - showing character is not being so short-sighted that you compromise yourself just for the sake of winning a competition.
Yeah. At the end of the day, it is a competition. I'm not just going to change who I am because I'm on TV. That's how I go day-to-day here (in Boston).
I saw one of your Twitter followers pointed out that it's not just a competition - it's like a job interview for the world to see. It could lead to other professional opportunities in the future.
I was really nervous going into that episode, that people would see that I'm not able to run a kitchen. But people have been responding with very positive things: "I'd love to work with you," stuff like that. At the end of the day, it'll work out how it's supposed to.
It looks like "Last Chance Kitchen" is shaping up to be a Kristen vs. Josie showdown.
(Laughs) Maybe. Maybe not. We'll have to find out.
Did you see Restaurant Wars as a chance to take a trial run at running your own restaurant someday?
Absolutely. It was awesome having that experience. I'll take a lot from that episode and others into real life. And it's nice not to have to spend my own money opening a restaurant to learn that! (laughs)
Do you want to start your own restaurant? Is that one of your goals?
At some point. When, I don't know. I'll wait for the opportunity to present itself to me.
So you're not going to take the money you've won so far and put it towards opening your own place, then.
It'd take a lot more than that! (Laughs)
I know you said on the show that you want to go to Korea. (Note: Kish was born in Korea, and her parents, who live in the Grand Rapids area, adopted her as a baby.)
Definitely. I want to go in the fall. I know I want to go there at some point.
I think your mom and dad would be proud of the way you handled yourself and stayed true to yourself in that episode.
The best message I got, it was a tweet or an email, was, "Your mom and dad raised you right." That was a huge compliment. A ton of credit goes to them for giving me such a fantastic life.

Chattanooga as a hub of digital innovation
Open source culture thrives in Chattanooga
Last week I had a chance to visit Chattanooga for several days and received an up close look at the maker and entrepreneurial culture of the city. Chattanooga is home to a municipal gigabit fiber installation, which reaches every home and business in a 600 square mile area. The city is positioning itself as a hub of digital innovation, and from where I sit they're doing quite a good job of that. Some of the smartest minds from other parts of the country are moving to Chattanooga because of the quality of life combined with structural community support for innovators.
The most exciting innovations, in my eyes, are happening on the 4th floor of the public library and via Jason Griffey, Head of Library Information Technology at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Griffey has embarked on a personal project named LibraryBox, which is an open source wireless file server that uses very affordable, off-the-shelf consumer technology. Even before Griffey launched a Kickstarter campaign for the project, it was filled with possibilities. Moving this project into higher gear, the LibraryBox Kickstarter campaign ended up bringing in more than 10 times the original funding goal. Many of the possible uses of LibraryBox remain unexplored, which to me is one of the great excitements of this project. I asked Griffey how many concurrent file transfers can happen via this two ounce device and while exact numbers are still in the testing phase, LibraryBox can serve multiple users simultaneously.
Most excitingly, LibraryBox can work its magic completely separate from any Internet infrastructure, so it might end up having expansive uses for education, health, and science in areas of the world lacking Internet access.
Across town, the 4th floor of the Chattanooga Public Library has become a popular destination in the short time it has been in existence. Formerly used for storage, this large space (it's about the size of a small airplane hangar) is now the home of the library's 3D printer and other digital experiments. Nate Hill, Assistant Library Director, is bent on building a space where community members come to make and produce things. Nate has assembled an all-star staff of librarians who are putting this vision into practice. While giving me a tour of the 4th floor, Nate explained how he is feeling his way forward, progressing step by step and doing what seems sensible. For example, he converted several of the library's public iMacs to Ubuntu Linux as a way of testing open source solutions throughout the library.
The Chattanooga Public Library was also the home of a coding camp this summer, teaching 50 teens the basics of HTML, CSS, Python, and robotics. This camp was conducted as a partnership with Engage3D.org, a visionary new nonprofit. Having the library as a center for digital learning and digital exploration makes so much sense.
At another location in town, just getting off the ground is Chattanooga's makerspace, Chatt*Lab, which has established a physical location and has assembled a core group of members and supporters. They are also open for membership! I visited Chatt*Lab and was impressed by one of the co-founders, Tim Youngblood, who is moving the initiative forward step by step. Tim embodies the maker culture—of constant curiosity and a kindliness in encouraging the curiosity of others. The usual array of Linux laptops were cracked open with people sharing information about various projects they were working on.
Speaking of Linux, the Chattanooga Linux Users Group, Chugalug, has a very vibrant email list. Whether by design or not, many of the most creative folks in the city seem to participate in this list. Reading the message traffic on this list you can feel the camaraderie and goodwill in this community.
The highlight of my visit was an annual event called Gigtank Demo Day where seven startup companies pitched their stories to venture capitalists and to the public. All the startups had convincing presentations, but FwdHealth's business proposition resonated the most with me. Better health is within reach, but people need incentives and the right tools to get there. After their presentation I had a chance to chat with Jon Stanford, one of the lead developers of AOKP, an open source Android distribution. Jon shared an interesting thought about open source in our conversation. He said, "If you have patience and perseverance, open source can be your university."
My strongest impression of Chattanooga is the sense of people pulling together towards a common goal. This is a city with smart leaders who have their eyes on the prize. It's a place of possibilities. Other cities will seek to replicate Chattanooga's path.

NILES - The Jamestown Jammers are no different than the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. It's just that Jamestown has the best record in the New York-Penn League, has led the Pinckney Division for more than two months, is riding a four-game winning streak and has won just three less games on the road than the Scrappers have won all season.
"I wouldn't say, talent wise, that they're better than we are," Mahoning Valley shortstop James Roberts said. "They're cleaner with the way they play. For us, it's just a matter of cleaning up the little things and playing with more energy."
Roberts committed a throwing error and went 0 for 3 in the Scrappers' 3-1 loss to the Jammers on Wednesday. For the season, they're 3-6 against Jamestown (37-23). The two teams face each other four more times this year, including tonight at 7:05 p.m.
"Jamestown does all the little things right," said Scrappers right fielder Josh McAdams.
In games against each other, the Jammers have scored 21 more runs than the Scrappers (38-17), but only have three more total hits (52-49). Both teams have committed eight errors each during those games, with Jamestown tallying five in a game on June 19.
"I think we definitely could've competed with them all season if we just had a little more energy," Roberts said. "That was our problem (on Wednesday). Honestly, our biggest downfall was lack of energy on our part as a team. We had no real energy to get our teammates fired up. It's hard to play like that.
"I'm sure we'll pick it up before it's too late."
Though there was only four runs scored, the game last two hours and 54 minutes. Each teams used four pitchers and over 300 pitches were thrown.
The shortest inning for the Scrappers was the top of the sixth when relief pitcher Michael Goodnight escaped a bases-loaded jam and a full count with two outs as Jamestown catcher Jin-De Jhang lined out to Roberts.
Goodnight pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Luis Gomez, who made his first Single A start on Monday. Gomez walked four batters, allowed all three runs and struck out four over 4 innings.
Ben Heller and Harold Guerrero each pitched one perfect inning in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively.
"The pitchers battled and really competed," Roberts said. "They were stuck in some crappy situations and the defense didn't help on some plays. It's our turn as an offense to help them out."
Second baseman Paul Hendrix collected two hits and Robel Garcia hit his fifth home run - a towering shot that left the park in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Jamestown scored one run in the third, fourth and fifth innings. Mahoning Valley dropped to 23-36.

Sweet Smelling Danger?
Wick of Death
By Charles Downey
Reviewed By Gary Vogin
When Cathy Flanders, 41, of Plano, Texas, started burning candles for their pleasant smell in the spring of 1997, it never occurred to her she could be poisoning her family.
Three years, a serious illness, and a lawsuit later, Flanders has a lesson to share with anyone buying scented candles: Watch out for metal wicks. Lead emitted by this type of candle is a serious health hazard.
"Candles are fast becoming one of the most common unrecognized causes of poor indoor air quality," says Diane Walsh Astry of the Health House, a national education project created by the American Lung Association of Minnesota.
The Flanders' woes started when Cathy was shopping at a clothing store and spotted some candles whose labels promised to fill her house with the pleasant fragrances of "winter" and "spring." Within six months of burning the candles, she noticed soot damage around her house. But Cathy didn't pinpoint the source of the problem until after Ron Bailey of Bailey Engineering in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., analyzed the Flanders' candles and discovered lead emissions.
Around that time, 11-year-old Andrew Flanders' grades dropped precipitously. His teacher wondered if he had attention deficit disorder. When blood tests revealed an elevated level of lead, the Flanders promptly sent him to live with his aunt.
"The lead deposits in our home are such that we could not sell the house if we wanted to," says Flanders. As for the candles, the doctor ordered a total ban. Testing revealed the lead level in the Flanders' home to be 40 milligrams per square foot -- 27 times the limit allowed in Housing and Urban Development homes.
The Flanders aren't the only ones falling victim to pleasant-smelling candles with toxic wicks. Candle sales in general have skyrocketed in recent years, according to the National Candle Association in Washington, D.C., from $500 million in 1995 to $2.3 billion in 1999. Part of the candle craze may be due to new interest in aromatherapy, a type of alternative medicine that uses odors to relax or treat illness.
Ironically, the very candles sometimes used for aromatherapy can cause serious health problems. The chief culprits are candles with wicks made with metal cores.
"Some candle makers use metal-core wicks because cotton wicks are often limp and fall over into the wax, extinguishing the flame," explains Jerome O. Nriagu, Ph.D., a professor of environmental chemistry at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor who has studied scented candles.
Lead poisoning can lead to behavior changes and damage internal organs, especially the kidneys. Cathy's husband, Kip, had his gall bladder removed because of an illness he blames on the candles.
Metal Wicks
Nriagu measured the lead released from 14 brands of candles. He found that burning four metal-wick candles for two hours resulted in airborne lead concentrations that were dangerous to human health. People with weak immune systems, including children and the elderly, are particularly at risk.
"Besides breathing lead fumes, children can be exposed to even more lead that is deposited on the floor, furniture, and walls because they often put their hands in their mouths," says Nriagu. After similar research in Australia, lead wicks in candles were banned there in September 1999. On Feb. 14, 2001, the Consumer Product Safety Commission voted to ban all candle wicks containing lead.
Not all candles -- or even all scented candles -- cause hazardous pollution. But since labels won't tell which ones are safe, Astry and other candle experts offer this advice:
Andrew Flanders eventually moved back home. His mother Cathy only wishes she'd had some whiff of the danger when she first spotted those innocent-looking candles among the racks of shirts and pants.

From Hype to Disaster: Segway's Timeline
Segway Owner Dies in Segway Accident
British police said Monday that the owner of the company that makes the Segway was found dead after falling off a cliff … on a Segway. It's a gruesome chapter in the history of an invention that was supposed to revolutionize the way we get around but that ended up going nowhere. Below, a look back at the key events for the Segway:
2001: Incredible hype builds around a device known as "IT" and "Ginger" that is being built by inventor Dean Kamen. There's talk among tech insiders that it could be bigger than the PC. Kamen says it "will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy."
Dec. 3, 2001: Mr. Kamen unveils the "human transporter," now known as the Segway, and predicts he will sell 50,000 vehicles in the first year. The two-wheeled device, which uses a complicated system of gyroscopes and other technology to balance, is supposed to fill the gap between walking and using a car. It goes about 12 miles an hour and uses relatively small amounts of power. Although the vehicle draws considerable interest, it seems clear already that the Segway is not going to be bigger than the PC. It does have prominent venture-capital and private backing, though, to the tune of $90 million.
2002: The Segway runs into trouble with the law. Its backers might have envisioned millions of human transporters gliding people around, but now that the Segway is out, it's not clear where it fits in. It's too bulky and fast to be allowed on sidewalks in most cities, but too small for riders to feel comfortable on roadways.
2002: The U.S. Post Office tests using Segways to deliver the mail. Other testers include the Walt Disney Company. The Segway won't advance too far beyond such companies and tourist services.
Nov. 2002: The Segway debuts on Amazon for $4,950 — a price that ultimately contributes to its lack of mass appeal.
June 2003: President George W. Bush famously takes a tumble while trying out a Segway in Kennebunkport, Maine.
Sept. 2003: Segway recalls all the scooters on the market — only about 6,000 — because riders have been injured falling off when the batteries run low.
Feb. 2004: The Wall Street Journal reports that the original funds raised by Segway are gone and Mr. Kamen had to raise a new $31 million and mortgage its factory because the company was losing money.
2004-2006: Segway begins making models for golf courses and police departments, and the company says annual sales growth has averaged 50% since 2002.
Dec. 2009: Segway CEO James Norrod leaves the company, and Segway is acquired by a company backed by U.K. businessman James Heselden. Mr. Heselden's firm Hesco Bastion developed a system to replace sand bags to protect troops.
Sept. 2010: Mr. Heselden's body is found, along with a Segway, after a witness reported seeing a man fall off a 30-foot cliff into a river about 140 miles north of London. Mr. Heselden was 62. Segway releases a statement expressing sadness over the accident.

My Frantic Mama Bear Persona is Ruining Everyone's DayMolly Thornberg
I am sure that people who don't know me, and have come across me in the last few weeks think I am a total B. Typically, it's not my style to be crass, rude and insensitive , but this season (hopefully, extremely short) has me displaying my unlikable side.
When I saw this eCard today on Facebook, I wanted to print it off and hand it to anyone who has come in contact with me.
Be kind to everyone you meet; You never know if they have a toddler at home.
Though, I would photoshop and re-write this to say… they have toddlers at home and are in the process of moving.
We are in the process of a major move and well – moving sucks people. I am on my last leg. In 4 days, the movers arrive to haul away 10.5 years of life. We didn't find a house in time to purchase before closing on our house, and with the pooey events of the last few weeks, on top of moving – I just gave up on the house hunt.
Our family of 6 is moving into an apartment. While we have nothing to complain about and plenty of room for each and all – it's still a major change (apartments now adays are so much better than when we were regular apartment dwellers!). It's a short-term lease and I see this as a growing period, but growing is hard. It feels more like teething – it hurts people!
The husband appears to be all cool, calm and collected. Me…. not so much. I find myself apologizing way too often, to people who barely know me because I know my attitude is rotten. I am totally blaming the mother bear in me!! I must protect my young!
To the dear people who come in contact with me…. If my frantic mama bear persona has in any way ruined your day, my apologies – and if you have to see me again – my apologies in advance as we still have to do this move!
We're going to take the next few months in stride, try to keep our chins-up and see what the next part of our story looks like. I sure hope there are lots of unicorns and rainbows in it!

Hello -
I have been gardening for many years and sewing since I was a little girl; my mother was an avid seamstress and gardener as well, so this was no surprise. My husband and I have also taken on alpaca farming in the later part of our lives and are thoroughly enjoying that. This combined with my love for nature and the great outdoors inspired me to create my Frame or Quilt Wall Art Fusible Applique E-patterns.
The quilts in my e-patterns can be hung on the wall either in frames or dowel hung; and of course - if you prefer, can simply be quilted and used as you like; perhaps as lap quilts, doll quilts, pillows.........
All my patterns not only include the pattern for the quilt but they also include instructions on how to complete the frame if you so desire, if not, then they can simply be quilted and hung in any manner that you prefer.
You can learn more about our adventures at the following blogspots: http://inspiredcreationsbyd.blogspot.com
If it is pattern kits that you are looking for - I have kits for all of my designs; simply go to http://inspiredcreationsbyd.blogspot.com - hit the QUILT KITS/ ETC. tab and click on the one you like. Don't wait too long though if you see one you want because quantities are limited!
I thought the flowers utilized in my Frame or Quilt Fabric Wall Art designs would look especially nice on quilted mug rugs; perhaps complimenting each other if both were in the same room.
The pattern contains detailed instructions for creating the quilted Mug Rug with illustrations to guide you along the way, and full size pattern pieces. Pattern also includes both the forward and reverse page for easy tracing onto the sew able adhesive for the applique portion.

Making her acting debut in front of a modest crowd in the third grade, Trisha Rae Stahl's journey has taken her from the halls of Loyalsock Township High School to the fictional halls of McKinley High on Fox's "Glee."
Playing Mrs. Rose, a lunch lady ridiculed by the students of the show for her weight and later found out to be the new glee member's mother, Stahl, a 1991 graduate of Loyalsock Township, made her debut on the hit show's season four premiere in September.
But many may remember Stahl from her many performances in the Loyalsock Township School District, which included playing the matchmaker in "Fiddler on the Roof."
She was a member of the choir, the speech and drama clubs and played the trumpet during high school.
But until two of her teachers, Wayne Moffat and Thomas Shellenberger, spoke to her about a future in theater, Stahl said it was more of a hobby than anything else.
"They pulled me aside and asked me if I had any plans after school," she remembered.
The result of the conversation was Stahl studying theater at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, with which she said she fell in love.
Upon graduation she had a stint with Summer Stock Theater and then she and 10 of her friends made the move to Los Angeles.
After not making it very far in the acting world, she decided to begin teaching special education. She explained that she used her love of theater to teach her students.
It wasn't until a fellow teacher introduced Stahl to her agent that acting professionally became a realistic goal. She remembered that she only went on four auditions before she got the call from her agent.
"I was just doing small things to supplement my income and then I got a call that I had an audition for 'Glee,' which I couldn't believe," Stahl said.
When first auditioning, the role only was guaranteed for one episode but after getting a second audition, the role of Mrs. Rose became a recurring one.
Stahl said although she wasn't a "die-hard fan" of the show - because she admits to not following any television show too closely - she understood the magnitude of landing a role on the popular show.
"I definitely always respected the show for the topics it covered," she explained.
Stahl said the entire cast was very welcoming of her as soon as she arrived on set.
"It's very professional (on set) but it's very fun. Everyone really has a great sense of humor ... we have fun, but it is a job," Stahl said. "It's a very warm and comfortable set to be on.
"They're all about getting the job done. There's really no time to be nervous."
And for her fictional daughter, Marley, played by Melissa Benoist, it was an instant connection.
"Melissa and I hit it off right away. We had good chemistry right off the bat," Stahl said. "We have similar sense of humors."
But being on a hit television show hasn't made Stahl forget her roots.
"I'm a huge Williamsport local at heart. I have been (in Los Angeles) for 15 years but (Williamsport is) still home," she said.
Before landing the gig on "Glee," Stahl said she had plans of moving back to the area, but with a laugh she said "those plans have changed."
And for those from the area who aspire to act, Stahl said they shouldn't listen to family members and friends who say they won't make any money doing it.
"Just come and do it," she said.
Stahl can be seen on episodes of "Glee" at 9 p.m. Thursdays.
Although she's only received scripts up to episode seven this fall, she has been told more are on the way.
And asked if the audience should expect a song or two from her, Stahl simply responded: "I'm not at liberty to answer that."

Album Review
's star faded not long after he won emancipation from Warner Brothers in 1995, as he abandoned the mainstream so he could follow his whims however he liked. Which meant that he effectively started making records for nobody but himself, whether that meant triple-disc collections of new material or an all-instrumental smooth jazz album, and in short order, his fans started dwindling away to nothing but the hardcore, who themselves had their patience tried by such antics as
suing his own fanzine in the late '90s. It seemed that he was fated to permanently wander in the wilderness, making music for an ever more selective audience, until he suddenly decided in 2004 that he wanted to be back in the game, returning to the spotlight with acclaimed performances at the Grammys and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, announcing an all-hits tour, and releasing
, his first major-label distributed album in five years. This flurry of activity suggests that
is treating this as an opportunity for a full-fledged comeback and, thankfully, he's seized this moment and delivered a vastly entertaining record. Unlike everything he's done since leaving Warner,
doesn't alienate listeners; it's tight and lean, weighing in at 12 tracks and 47 minutes, yet that's still enough room for
to showcase his virtuoso versatility. He tries a little everything -- down and dirty funk jams, slow sensual grooves, and, happily, he revives the psychedelic pop of the mid-'80s with the deliriously catchy "Cinnamon Girl" -- but unlike on such overworked albums as
Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic
, it never feels like an attempt to dazzle or a series of stylistic exercises. That's because there's a clarity to his production -- dense, but never busy, proving once again that he's about the only musician who can make a one-man band sound as vibrant as a live nine-piece group -- and a focus to his writing that hasn't been heard in a long, long time. At its core,
is essentially classicist
, as he makes a deliberate decision to play to all of his greatest strengths, but because it's been so long that he's made a record this confident and concise, it doesn't sound like a retreat. It sounds as if he's rediscovered his muse, which is quite a bit different than simply following his whims. Make no mistake, this isn't the second coming of
Purple Rain
Sign 'o' the Times
or even
-- in other words, it's not a masterpiece, more like a more confident and consistent
Diamonds and Pearls
without the hip-hop fixation -- but it's a strong album, one that impresses on the first listen and gets better with repeated plays. In short, it's the comeback that it was meant to be.

The article by Carniol and Greene is a contemporaneous dissertation on the current wave of interest in obtaining facial skin rejuvenation with minimum postoperative downtime and minimal sequelae for the patient. There are certainly pros and cons to every technique currently and previously used for rejuvenation of photoaging of the skin. Each technique has its own risk-benefit ratios in terms of postoperative complications, sequelae, and healing downtime vs the ultimate benefit the patient and surgeon are trying to achieve. The authors' opening hypothesis is that nonablative laser technology and treatments have an excellent risk-benefit ratio compared with other modalities for resurfacing the skin. I believe this is a matter of question and interpretation, because the benefits from nonablative laser technology are often subjective and multiple treatments are required to achieve objective change in the skin texture or appearance. The following is an outline of other tried and proven modalities for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing that have established risk-benefit ratios with an expectation of results in a single-treatment session.

Four games into the 2013-14 season, how are the rookies for the Washington Redskins faring?
As in any draft class, there have been positives and negatives. Jordan Reed and Brandon Jenkins look to be promising players. On the flip side, Chris Thompson and Bacarri Rambo have yet to provide a spark.
The Redskins were without a first-round pick this year (and next year) due to the 2012 trade for Robert Griffin III. A first-round pick is normally the easiest way to grade a draft class, so we'll have to delve a little deeper into the drafting depths to determine how the 2013 rookies are grading out.
It's still early, but here are the current grades for every Washington Redskins' 2013 draft pick.

Zohar Sharon was a 24-year old officer in an elite Israel Defense Forces anti-terror unit on a clandestine mission when a bomb exploded near his unit. Two officers were killed instantly as chemicals from the explosion flew into Sharon's eyes.
His world eventually went dark as he lost his sight.
"I didn't die, but I felt like I was dead, like my two buddies," Sharon recalled about that time, 28 years later. "Sometimes I even think it would have been better to have died." Wounded soldiers suffer many traumas, both physical and emotional. But blindness is different.
"When I lost my eyes, it was like I lost my world," Sharon says. "When you lose your sight, the lights go out and you're in a dark, strange and frightening world." "Everything changes," Sharon explains, "even sleeping isn't the same."
When Sharon dreams, he sees in color, with perfect vision. But when he awakens, it's dark again.
"I reach out because I don't know where I am. Then it dawns on me, I'm in my bed, alive, breathing, but still in darkness."
Groping for Light For years after the accident, Sharon struggled with depression.
"When you face something like, this you realize what's really important in life," he said. "Money, status, ego, nothing really matters anymore, only God. It's like death was crouching behind the door waiting for me, but never came to take me." The Israeli Defense Ministry offered to help Sharon learn a new profession as part of his rehabilitation but nothing seemed to suit him.
"I used to love to paint and sculpt," says Sharon, "but it didn't make sense anymore, trying to paint things I couldn't see."
Sharon's family life also began falling apart. He eventually left his first wife and their two kids and moved into a one-room flat in Hadera to live by himself.
Aiming Toward the Sound
Then one day about 15 years ago, a friend from the Caesarea Golf Club came by for a visit.
"He showed me how to hit a ball with a golf club into a shoe box," Sharon recalled. "We put a radio on top of the box so I could aim and hit the ball toward the sound." Sharon smiles as he recalls that two weeks later, he was beating all his friends from the club.
"They all started coming over to the house just to watch me knock the ball into the box," he said. "I enjoyed making people happy watching me beat them with my eyes closed."
Sharon and Shimshon Levi, his caddy and good friend, decided to teach Sharon how to play golf well enough to enter a tournament for the blind.
"We'd never seen a golf course in our lives, much less watched a golfer hit a ball," he said.
"Shimshon recorded some PGA tournaments from the TV on video and replayed them, in slow motion, until he figured out how to swing. Then he explained it to me and told me to move this way or that."
Practice Makes Perfect After two years of daily dawn-to-dusk practicing, Sharon entered his first tournament in Scotland in 1996. But their first foray into the sport was not without its novice mistakes.
"One time Shimshon accidentally had me hit an opponent's ball. That was Shimshon's fault, and he's the one who is supposed to see!" Sharon said, grinning. "But I got penalized, and we lost the hole anyway." Even with the blunders, Sharon managed to win tournaments and amaze people. The well-known golf journalist Lawrence Rubenstein once watched him play in Mapleton, Canada.
On the third hole, Sharon knocked his second shot into the hole from 150 meters away for a rare eagle.
"Rubenstein was so shocked that a blind guy with no golf experience could make that kind of a shot that he gave me his clubs," Sharon laughs. "He walked off the course and said he would never play golf again as long as he lived!"
More Fun than Tiger Woods
A sports reporter from Star magazine said that it was more fun playing with Sharon than with Tiger Woods. Sharon remembers the time he played at Palm Springs with a former U.S. president.
"It was an easy course to play, but (he) kept cheating," Sharon confided. "Shimshon whispered to me that he saw (him) move his ball out of the sand trap. The president thought no one was looking."
"Then on another hole he hit his ball into the water, pulled out another ball, and pretended nobody saw," Sharon laughed. "Politicians play politics even on the golf course!"
Sharon has become somewhat of a phenomenon around the world. He has played tournaments in Scotland, Ireland, England, Canada, Australia, the United States, and Argentina.
On August 7-8, Sharon will represent Israel in the World Championship and English Open. He has been ranked the No. 1 blind golfer in the world for many years, and he even competes in regular golf tournaments. Last year he won a pairs competition at the local Gaash Golf Club, where he is a member.
No. 1 Blind Golfer Sharon and Levi also work for local charities. Golf clubs around the world invite him to play in their tournaments to raise money for needy causes. Recently Solly Almagor, president of Friends of Beit Halochem - Australia, met with Sharon in Israel to discuss fundraising for their work with wounded soldiers. Beit Halochem (House of the Soldier) was established to help the 53,000 disabled Israeli veterans who have ever served their country since 1948." "These guys have given their ultimate for Israel - their bodies and their health," Almagor explained. "For them, the war is never over. Everyday they need to fight to get their lives back." Almagor believes that Sharon's story will draw a lot of attention to the work of Beit Halochem and is a great example of how sports can aid rehabilitation.
Renewed Hope "Golf gave me life back," Sharon said. "It was like pouring cool water over my body when I was burning up on the inside. It made me want to live again."
The 53-year old Sharon also recently remarried. His face lights up when he talks about his new six-month-old son.
"We have a new baby at home, and when he sees me walk into a room he makes gurgling sounds so I'll come over and pick him up," Sharon said. "The baby understands that I can't see him, so he sits in my lap and grabs my nose and it makes him laugh. He likes making me jump."
Today, Sharon almost always has a broad, winning smile on his face.
"I love what I do," he said. "And I make other people happy doing it."

When 20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer, her shy smile accessorizing her voluminous gown, turned to kiss her gallant Prince on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on July 29, 1981, the whole world cheered. But the world didn't see the entire picture. While Diana pledged her heart to Charles, 32, his heart was somewhere else: with longtime love Camilla Parker Bowles. "There were three of us in this marriage," Diana concluded 14 years later in her startling BBC interview. "So it was a bit crowded."
Just days before the wedding, Diana had intercepted a gold bracelet engraved with the letters F and G (reportedly for Fred and Gladys, Charles and Camilla's pet names for each other) that her future husband had bought for his one true love. Charles had been trysting with Camilla since 1970, when they met on the polo grounds of Windsor Great Park. "My great-grandmother was the mistress of your great-great-grandfather," said the then 23-year-old Camilla Shand. "So how about it, then?"
The pair shared a love for horses, hunting and country living, and by 1972, Charles was smitten enough to consider asking Camilla to marry him. But the Palace did not approve of the worldly Camilla, whose torrid romance with cavalry officer Andrew Parker Bowles was well-known. The future King, after all, was expected to marry a virgin. A resigned Camilla wed Parker Bowles in 1973, while Charles was on a tour of duty with the Royal Navy. "I suppose the feeling of emptiness will pass eventually," the heartbroken Prince wrote in a letter at the time.
But neither time nor even the 1993 humiliation of hearing their phone cooings broadcast to the world (Camilla: "I need you all the week, all the time." Charles: "Oh, God, I'll just live inside your trousers.") could break their bond. In Camilla, writes Jonathan Dimbleby in his biography The Prince of Wales, "the Prince found the warmth, the understanding and the steadiness for which he had always longed." With her 1995 divorce and his impending one, the two may yet make a life together—though they'll likely never wed. "Charles and Camilla are equally guilty in whatever relationship they've had," says royals author Brian Hoey, "but she is the one the public won't forgive. A mistress is all she'll ever be."

Happy Hearts Part 2
By: Nuts about Needlepoint
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
In the second part of the Happy Hearts needlepoint project from Nuts About Needlepoint you'll learn several more ways to create decorative hearts. Follow the patterns and you'll be able to finish your special needlepoint project.
- Watercolours
- Glow in the Dark Kreinik
- Sparkle Rays (citrus color scheme)
This heart uses Watercolours, glow in the dark Kreinik, and Sparkle Rays for a very citrus color scheme. In scanning, the Sparkle Rays bleached out completely. The pattern has three rows Tent Stitch in square and rectangular blocks.
The background is stitched in T Stitch using Kreinik #4. This thread is very fine, so it leaves a hint of color and a sparkle.
This heart uses another pattern of square blocks, this time grouped in sets of four. The square blocks are outlined in dark violet Very Velvet and the background is an extremely pale blue, all in Tent Stitch.
The squares are filled with Diagonal Mosaic, with the upper left and lower right using a blue-green Gloriana (deep blues sea). The upper right and lower left use a light blue Elegance.
The lower left heart is stitched in linenfold, a stitch which uses a combination of straight (wider stripes) and diagonal (narrow stitches). I used a dark red-violet Pebbly Perle for the narrow stripes and alternated Neon Rays and Kreinik ribbon for the wide stripes.
The background is Hungarian, a stitch I often forget about and one which should be used more often. It's stitched using Crescent Colours floss is Purple Toile, a very pale violet.
The last heart is stitched in Trianglepoint using Dinky Dyes silk and Flair I dyed myself. This background is also T Stitch but made with Petite Very Velvet, making a more solid background.

Private Variables Do Not Necessarily Break Prototypal Inheritance In Javascript

The Girl class is not actually related to person in any way, calling Girl.prototype = new Person(); is superfluous since you are doing Person.call( this, name); . which shadows everything in the prototype.

Hi all! Today I am playing along with the little things we do's Fill in the Blank Friday! Enjoy!
1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up.
2. As an adult, my dream job would be a published author.
3. When I was younger I wanted to be just like my parents.
4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was a cheerleader. I love the pom poms.
5. My favorite childhood toy was either Barbies or My Little Ponies.
6. The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I tattled on my brother for swearing and… swearing in the process.
7. I get daily inspiration from bloggers. You all rock my socks!
Before I go, my parents' dog Lucy had to have surgery yesterday. She couldn't go to the bathroom and the vet had to remove stones from inside her. She's doing okay but please keep Lucy in your thoughts so she gets better really fast!
Happy Friday all!

The two men referred to their drug ring as the "Main Line Takeover Project" in texts they sent to each other, prosecutors claim.
Scott, 25, of Haverford, Pa., and Brooks, 18, of Villanova, Pa., were arrested Monday and charged with possession with intent to deliver, conspiracy and other drug-related charges. Their preliminary hearing is May 6.
Nine other high school and college students – so-called "sub-dealers" who worked at each school – were charged with dealing marijuana, hash oil, cocaine and Ecstasy.
"This was not a game. These people were in business," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman told reporters Monday.
Authorities recovered $11,000 in cash, along with marijuana, cocaine and guns – including an AR-15 assault rifle – in Scott's apartment.
"They were in business to make money," Ferman said, "and they were going to do whatever they needed to do to make sure that no one threatened their business."
Scott is being held on $1 million bail. Brooks was released after posting 10 percent of his $250,000 bail.
Remorse and RegretGreg Pagano, Brooks's attorney, tells PEOPLE his client is "remorseful and truly regrets" his involvement.
"He suffered an injury as an athlete at his first year of college in the fall of 2013 requiring him to return home for surgery and to recuperate," Pagano said via e-mail.
"He became depressed and was not well physically or mentally," Pagano added. "It was during this time period that he became acquainted with the wrong people and began selling marijuana."
Brooks did this for less than three months and possessed no weapons, Pagano claims.
Scott's attorney, Tom Egan, could not be reached for comment.
On Monday at the Haverford School, just west of Philadelphia, from which Brooks and Scott graduated, lacrosse coach John Nostrant was visibly upset after hearing about the arrests of two of his former players.
"It's crushing to me," he told the Philadelphia Daily News as he struggled to hold back tears. "I feel bad for their families. It's a sad day."
Nostrant said that Brooks, who graduated in 2013, was a "very good midfielder," and Scott, who graduated in 2007, was a "solid goalie."

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S is a minor upgrade of the original Arc, which is barely half a year old. It boasts the same super-thin case design, 4.2-inch screen and Android 2.3. The big difference is that the phone is now powered by a 1.4GHz processor.
The Xperia Arc S is available SIM-free for around £350.
Should I buy the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S?
If you were one of the many people who dashed out to purchase the original Xperia Arc a few months ago then you're probably feeling slightly annoyed by the release of the Arc S.
Certainly, if you're already an Arc owner, there's little reason to fork out more cash for this augmented edition of the handset. While it boasts a quicker processor and has a few neat software embellishments under its bonnet, it doesn't represent a big enough advancement to justify an upgrade from the first model.
If, however, you held back on picking up Sony Ericsson's Android flagship phone then the Arc S could tempt you. We'd have liked a slightly beefier CPU, but in practically every other regard, this phone remains a front-line challenger and one of the most appealing smart phones we've seen all year.
Aside from the boost in processing power, the other most significant difference between the original Arc and this updated unit is the firmware. The Arc S is running Android 2.3.4, with the very latest version of Sony Ericsson's Timescape UI sitting neatly on top of it.
Some genuinely useful improvements have been factored in since the launch of the first Arc. Our personal favourite is the ability to take screen grabs by holding down the power button and selecting the 'Take Screenshot' option from the pop-up menu.
As fans of trace-to-type input option Swype, we're also very pleased to see that Sony Ericsson has upgraded its touchscreen keyboard to include a similar system. It's not enabled by default, though, so you'll need to dig into the settings to switch it on. We also noticed that it's not quite as accurate as Swype, but it's thoroughly welcome all the same.
Sony Ericsson's sound-boosting xLOUD tech has also been included in this updated firmware. This basically pumps up the volume of the phone's external speaker, which is handy if you struggle to hear your notifications or ringer when you're out and about. An undesirable side-effect is that some ringtones and sounds distort due to the enhanced volume, but you can switch off xLOUD altogether if this becomes an annoyance.
Other introductions in the firmware are less welcome. Facebook integration runs deeper, with music sharing and notification alerts being baked-into the user interface. The trouble is, even when you turn off the occasionally obnoxious notifications system and disable Facebook for Xperia syncing, messages continue to clog up your lock screen.
Access to Sony Ericsson's Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited online stores is also included on the Arc S. From here you can download albums and movies to watch on your phone, and the selection is surprisingly decent.
The Xperia Arc S' screen really is a stunner. Although it's slightly smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S2's 4.3-inch display, it still looks suitably imposing. While we're comparing screens, it should be pointed out that Sony Ericsson has retained the LED-backlit TFT LCD that was used in the original Arc.
It's put to shame by the bright and bold Super AMOLED Plus variant that is found on the aforementioned Galaxy S2, but it still manages to out-perform pretty much every other Android mobile display you could mention.
The 480x854-pixel resolution has a density of 233 pixels per inch, which means razor-sharpness and colours that look natural and striking. That's actually higher than the 217ppi found on the Galaxy S2 but some way off the market-leading 330ppi on the iPhone 4S. The brightness is impressive, although this has a detrimental impact on the phone's stamina. Unlike AMOLED tech screens -- which turn off black pixels to save power -- LCD displays are considerably thirstier when it comes to power demands.
To be perfectly blunt, the Xperia Arc S is identical to the original Arc in terms of physical design. In fact, if you placed the two phones side by side you wouldn't be able to tell them apart, as the Arc S features no unique markings, branding or logos to suggest it's an upgrade of the hardware.
While those of you who like to swagger about town with the latest tech in your hands may feel dissatisfied, we doubt many will be overly troubled. The Xperia Arc was -- and still is -- a smart-looking phone, and we're very much of the opinion that when something isn't broke, you sure as hell don't try to fix it.
As its name suggests, the Arc S has a unique design where the back of the phone curves inwards. This means that the ends of the phone are thicker than the middle -- an odd situation to say the least, but one that takes just seconds to become accustomed to.
While the Xperia Arc S is certainly a looker in terms of pure aesthetics, we wish Sony Ericsson had been a little more extravagant when it came to materials. The phone's external casing is entirely plastic, and the battery cover feels cheap and springy. It's a far cry from the lush metal and tempered glass chassis of the iPhone 4.

Ice Hockey
THINGS APPARENTLY ARE in turmoil at the Washington Capitals as well as the Hershey Bears. I think I can at least suggest a way to reduce the turmoil at Hershey. Promote Larry Courville from the Reading Royals to coach the Hershey Bears, I don't care who becomes the assistant. Promote the assistant down at Reading and move Dean Arsene and his assistant and we'll all live happily ever after.
Big Ten
WE'RE SITTING HERE thinking, having dinner with all these geniuses. And we all agree. I wonder if the Big Ten regrets allowing Rutgers to come into the fold. They're a bunch of nutcases at Rutgers. I bet Big Ten is thinking, hmm. First of all they're not going to be able to compete. What sport are they going to be able to compete in? Last year's football team is barely, barely competitive. The basketball team's pitiful. And God knows what other sports? I'm just wondering, I bet the Big Ten is having second thoughts about these nitwits at Rutgers.

What is in this article?:
- New Chesapeake Bay guidelines confusing to Virginia farmers
- Concerned with data used
• In December of 2010, the EPA approved the final TDML, or total daily maximum load for discharge of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment from farmland into streams that feed into the Chesapeake Bay.
• Based on these guidelines, Virginia began holding local meetings to determine how each county or municipality would best comply.
• When applied at the local level, some significant abnormalities began to show up.
VIRGINIA SMALL ACREAGE GROWERS and livestock producers, like Steven Pittman, are most severely affected by changing guidelines.
Concerned with data used
The first concern among Virginia farmers was the data used to create the guidelines. Farmers claimed, and later documented, that EPA data concerning the number of acres in Virginia in conservation-tillage was off by more than 70 percent.
Subsequent farmer-provided data has been more carefully considered by the EPA in developing TDML guidelines for the Bay Restoration. In general, farmers were positive about the December 2010 guidelines and appeared to have some measure of closure, or at least some indication that final, workable guidelines were forthcoming.
That positive attitude has been significantly deflated by application of the model, including recent changes made by the EPA, made to counties and local municipalities.
Perhaps more troubling for agriculture in general is that the six states that contain streams that feed into the Chesapeake Bay, and the subsequent plan to restrict the flow of nutrients from farmland in these states, will be the model used nationwide.
Next up will be the Mississippi River and its thousand mile trip from Minnesota to the Gulf Coast. The impact on agriculture will be ramped up significantly when EPA models are applied to the heart of America's farmland.
If there is a bright side for Virginia's farmers it is that Federal aid to farmers trying to meet TDML guidelines continued to flow for the 2011 cropping season.
"The Action Plan for FY 2011 reflects a deep commitment and unprecedented coordination among federal agencies and the Obama Administration to improve our results in protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed," said Pete Silva, EPA Associate Administrator for Water.
"The proposed funding and planned activities will help support state and local efforts, as well as be an investment in countless communities and local economies throughout the region," he concludes.
Among the restoration projects and programs identified for FY 2011 is $72 million in financial and technical assistance targeted to help farmers implement voluntary conservation practices in high-priority areas.
More than $20 million is targeted to go directly to the states to implement stronger regulatory and accountability programs to control urban, suburban, and agricultural runoff, plus $30 million for land protection.
Federal dollars targeted for Chesapeake Bay Restoration may be but a small drop in a big bucket if local governments are accurate in their cost assessments.
In Maryland, which has been placed under a strict plan for meeting EPA guidelines, officials in Anne Arundel County estimate the plan could cost hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Where the money will come from has left county officials scrambling to find local, state and federal funds.
In nearby Prince George County, Md., officials haven't made public what the restoration costs may be. However, in a recent presentation before the Prince George's County Council earlier this month, it was estimated it would cost the county and municipal governments $777.2 million through 2020 to meet the pollution-reduction goals.
County governments throughout Virginia are in the process of making similar cost assessments. Changes to the EPA model not only make it difficult to assess the final cost, but make it economically risky for farmers to develop a TDML plan.
"We are urging our farmers to continue with the best management plans they have in place, but it's difficult to ask a farmer to go the extra step that could cost them money and reduce the credits they get for implementing nutrient management plans," Frazier says.
"Virginia farmers are continuing to do the best management practices that have been a part of their farming operation and they continue to apply these practices to the nutrient management plan. However, most farmers are skeptical of how all this work out at the end of the day," Frazier concludes.

There is much doubt as to whether Klemperer's invention of the term collagen diseases has served a useful purpose or has been an impediment in our understanding of disseminated lupus erythematosus, polyarteritis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which Talbott and Ferrandis have included in their monograph entitled "Collagen Diseases." As with many catch phrases or slogans, the words have taken on new meaning. The crux of the matter is very simple. Are the proliferations of collagen, the formation of fibrinoid necrosis, and other changes which characterize the various so-called collagen diseases a result of a multitude of stimuli affecting various tissues but leading to similar results because the reactivity of tissues is limited, or is a single kind of stimulus operating in each of the various disorders whose clinical manifestations and natural history differ from case to case because of the inherent variability of living organisms? There is no

View from the enemy: Portland Roundball Society
UPDATE: Serge Ibaka is out tonight (chest contusion) so Nick Collison will start in his place.
Danger, Thunder. Danger. This isn't the same Blazers team you easily beat the second game of the season. This is a young, intense, fiery and talented team that is building bunches of confidence. Their home record is one of the best in the league at 13-4 and they've proven they can beat the best of the best in the Rose Garden as they took down the Heat there a couple days ago.
This is one of those something's-gotta-give games. The Thunder have beat the Blazers five straight times, the Blazers have won nine straight home games. The Thunder are 23-0 this season when scoring a hundred or more. The Blazers have given up a hundred points at home during their streak only once, in an overtime win.
Overall though, they aren't a strong defensive team, but they have been at times at home recently. The Blazers rely more on outscoring teams than anything else, and if they have players hitting, they can pile them up. And you know they're pumped up for this one. Divisional rival and they feel like they have a real chance to prove yet again that they belong. Gonna be tough for OKC.
Portland coming in: The Blazers lost in a tight one to the Warriors on Friday.
Three Big Things
1. Lillard. Damian Lillard is extremely dynamic. He can run an offense, but also take over and put up points in bunches. What was obvious in the first meeting was Lillard couldn't guard Russell Westbrook — who went for 32 — and routinely went to the post to abuse the smaller guard. It's the premier matchup tonight and one that will likely decide the game as much as anything.
2. Aldridge. The Thunder have done good work on LaMarcus Aldridge as of late, deploying a mix of Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins on him. The pick-and-pop game is where he makes his living, but he's also a quality interior scorer when he's matched up one-on-one.
3. Benched. The Blazers have the worst bench in the league and maybe one of the worst ever. They get so very little production from their second unit that it makes the Thunder's issues look like nothing. But it should be a significant advantage the Thunder have tonight and one that they need to capitalize on. There can't be any big lapses. Instead of holding on to a lead or sustaining play, the bench needs to extend for those brief stretches in the second and third quarters.
Tip at 8:00 CT. Go Non-Starters.

Devon Burry, who had been reported missing on Monday after he failed to return home, was located Wednesday night near the Village Mall in St. John's, according to RCMP.
Earlier in the day, police had received a Crimestopper Tip that Mr. Burry was in the St. John's area, and after being located he was taken to the hospital for a check up and assessment.
On Monday, RCMP reported Mr. Devon left his Musgrave Harbour home for work, in Gander, but never arrived at work. When he never returned home after work that evening his parents became worried about him. His parents called his employer, and this was when they discovered he had not reported for work and he had been missing for an entire day. At that time, he was reported missing.
His vehicle was located at Foodland in Gander that evening, along with a note that he was wanting to get away.
This behaviour was out of character, according to RCMP, as he has never displayed this behaviour previously nor had he mentioned wanting to get away previously.
Gander RCMP would like to thank the public for their assistance in locating this young man.

The development of the operation which I shall describe may perhaps be made clearer if I outline the steps of its gradual evolution.
On my return from the war in 1919, I undertook the treatment of a number of patients with scoliosis, among whom was J. M., a boy who had already been under treatment for a number of years. This treatment had consisted of jackets of various types, none of which had succeeded in checking the progress of his deformity, which went on, as may be seen in the accompanying illustrations, to the most distressing extreme. The rotation of the vertebrae and the consequent distortion of the ribs made so sharp a convexity posteriorly that in spite of the most careful padding and personal application of the jacket, the patient would from time to time develop a pressure sore. He would then enter the hospital, have his jacket removed

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Afghanistan are working on a joint code of conduct to regulate their cooperation in the fight against terrorists and redress each other's grievances, says the country's top diplomat.
Special adviser to the PM on foreign affairs, Tariq Fatemi, also said that Pakistan expected the United States to reimburse the expenses it incurred in the fight against terrorists even after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Fatemi said that Pakistan would welcome a meeting between the Indian and Pakistani prime ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly later this year.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised the PM to attend the UN General Assembly session.
This will cover all relevant issues, "such as the complaints made by two sides, border management, enhanced cooperation between the two militaries and their security and intelligence agencies," Fatemi said.
He said Pakistan would like the United States to continue to reimburse the expenses incurred in countering terrorists along the Pak-Afghan border.
So far, the United States has been reimbursing Pakistan from the Coalition Support Fund set up for this purpose. The fund may expire after the expected US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"Now if the objectives (of the US-led war against terror) remain unaccomplished for another year or two and if Pakistan continues providing that service, we will expect reimbursement of those expenses," said Fatemi.
He denied a US media report that Pakistan had asked the United States to re-evaluate its withdrawal plan, because the objectives of the war against terror had not yet been achieved.
The US troops were deployed in Afghanistan under an arrangement with the two countries and "it is not for us to comment on how long they should or should not stay", he said.
"The government of Pakistan has not stated either privately or publicly any preference as regards the stationing of US troops," he added.
The US media, however, quoted a senior Pakistani defence official as telling reporters that Islamabad had asked Washington to re-evaluate its withdrawal schedule.
Fatemi refused to speculate if a longer US stay in Afghanistan would facilitate Pakistan's military offensive or it would have been better to launch the operation in 2010 when the Americans still had a few years in Afghanistan.
The adviser said the offensive would continue till the main objective of eliminating terrorism was achieved.
"No discrimination or distinction will be made as regards to the nationality, ethnicity and political affiliation of the militants. All militants are targets and this operation will continue as long as the objective is not achieved."

April 29, 2014 / What to do in Vancouver
As the official gardener at the Manor Guest House in Vancouver, I often think of spring as holding the key to the treasure chest of nature's floral abundance. It seems that overnight, the drab ground is suddenly alive with colours. So what's in the garden now? The 100 tulip bulbs that I planted last fall have burst through the soil in great profusion, showing themselves off in red, blue, yellow and white. The squirrels haven't allowed all of them to come up. They love to nibble – and destroy – the stalks which bear the gorgeous blooms. We have great balls of bright yellow, sweet smelling wallflowers, sensuous red anemones, bluebells, coral bells, periwinkle. For contrast there is the pale green of euphorbia and hellebore. Even the heather is calling attention to itself. The windmill palms have survived the winter – yes there are palm trees in Vancouver – and their branches spread out like protective wings over much of the garden.
Standing like a tall sentinel by the entrance to the Manor Guest House, is a huge camellia, which is probably as old as the house, which dates back to 1902. Every year, and this year is no exception, it produces thousands of rose like pink blooms, some of which fall on the stairs leading up to the house. I don't hurry to sweep them up, because it looks so lovely to be greeted by these beautifully decadent flowers. It's such a nice way to say, "welcome."
The vegetable garden is already taking spring very seriously. There are great mounds of thyme, oregano and rosemary; the chives are up, as is the lavender, mint and lemon balm. Thick stalks of red kale have survived from last year and we've already had salads and soups from the leaves. The strawberry leaves already have tiny buds forming on – strawberries in the making. And this morning, in a gesture of optimism, I planted a couple of tomato plants. In a few days I will plant lots more tomatoes, and peppers, chard, and lettuce, all of which will be delivering their bounty by mid summer and will go into the makings of our famous buffet breakfasts. And I can't forget to mention the fabulous pink cherry blossoms that are in full bloom all over the city of Vancouver, including in front of the Manor Guest House. When the wind comes up it blows the fragile blossoms onto the ground, often creating a light blanket of pink snow.
Have I inspired you to come to Vancouver and take in the gardens? We await you at the Manor Guest House. Book us now!
