What do you get when you mix a Christmas Light show with Guitar Hero? Christmas Light Hero! A real game you play with a wii wireless guitar controller. Optional TV screen is available if you get in trouble, but if you use the screen, you don't get your name in the high score list. Song is "Cliffs of Dover" by the incredible Eric Johnson.
i do not claim the song or pictures as my own: I posted this version because I could'nt find the orginal Donny Hathaway myself. Merry Christmas, Enjoy!

Charles Dickens' timeless tale of an old miser who must face Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-Come, as they help to bring kindness to his otherwise cold heart. The Ghosts remind him of the man he used to be, the hard truth of what the world is today, and what will happen if he does not strive to be a better man. Set around Christmas, the most joyous day of the year, Scrooge realizes the sharp contrast of his own personality.

The tv screen is lighting up my room The film has ended Every inch of my skin is crying for your hands And I wanted so... You've got me slightly disappointed Just a bit and just enough To keep me up another night Waiting for another day

Hi all
not really a big fan of model aircraft, but I found this UH-60
and I couldn't resist it for Christmas.
I would like to make some nice rotor ties and chocks for it. Any of you have experience / tips / photos they would be appreciated. For the chocks anyway my first thoughts were maybe to whittle down some cork?
Its a nice long model 12in-30cm so hopefully they will look quite good

Puma Swede Is A Mature Woman That Likes Young Dick. Provided by hardcoreinhd.com
For many years porn has been something guys did and girls didn't do. That is all changing with the advent of smart phones, iPads and Android tablet computers. Now women are finding easier access to porn than ever before. Guys always assumed women didn't look at porn because they didn't want to look at porn. The reality is they didn't have easy access and computers seemed so hard to use. What if they accidentally deleted your entire porn collection? E-gads!
You might have noticed lately that women in your area seem more receptive to sex than before. It could very well be that they have been watching cougar MILF Puma Swede and thinking they would like to do something like that too.
Be on the look out for a newly minted whore near you!

People Hot List - Which Stars Have the Most Buzz?
The Hot List shows the most buzzed about celebs of the moment as measured by reader activity on People.com
Michael and Carole Middleton welcome their second daughter, Philippa Charlotte Middleton, whom they simply call Pippa. Through their mail-order party company, Party Pieces, the Middletons become self-made millionaires and move the family (which now includes brother James) to the genteel village of Bucklebury, England.
While Kate goes public with her relationship with Prince William at St. Andrews, Pippa heads to Edinburgh University, where she spends much of her time with high-society peers. She rooms with the sons of the Duke of Roxburghe and the Duke of Northumberland, and becomes romantically involved with Hong Kong banking heir Jonathan "JJ" Jardine Paterson. In 2007, "Perfect Pippa" (as she is called by pals) graduates with a degree in literature.
A single and ambitious Pippa strikes out on her own in London, first working as a publicist and later landing a job at event planning company Table Talk. Though the press hounds Kate, UK high society magazine Tatler takes notice of the younger Middleton, naming her "Top Society Singleton" of 2008. "Pippa has a reputation as being the really fun one, slightly louder and more outgoing than Kate," says former Tatler editor Catherine Ostler. "Possibly slightly naughtier."

CHARLES TOWN - Washington's coaching staff saw something in the Jefferson defense it could take advantage of.
So, on a first-and-10 late in the first half, the Patriots went with a pass play just installed during the week, and it worked to perfection, resulting a touchdown from Tyler Wilt to Gunnar Wilt.
It also turned out to be the all-important score for Washington in the Patriots' 35-27 win over the rival Cougars Friday night at Terry L. Marcus Stadium.
Article Video
"That touchdown was huge," Washington coach Mark Hash said. "That was a play we put in on Tuesday. We took the middle and set him down. We tried to split the defenders and set him down in an open spot. He found a opening, and Tyler (Wilt) made a heckuva throw off his back foot."
The 12-yard scoring pass from Tyler Wilt to Gunnar Wilt with 12.7 seconds left to go in the first half capped a seven-play, 40-yard drive that gave Washington 28-13 lead and a bit of breathing room at the break.
The Patriots seemed to be on the verge of running away the game several times during the game, only to let Jefferson back in.
Article Photos

Washington scored the first two touchdowns of the game on the legs of Tyrek Collier, who posted scoring runs of 7 and 28 yards. Collier, who finished with 57 yards on seven carries, pushed through the Cougar defense at the 9:31 mark of the first quarter put the Patriots on the scoreboard. He followed that with a dazzling run in which he broke a couple tackles at the line of scrimmage, then bounced outside for his second and final touchdown run of the game.
Washington wasn't done though, as it extended its lead to 21-0 after Colin Gustines intercepted a floating pass from Jefferson quarterback Justin Carter and returned it 50 yards for the score.
"We preached all week about getting a fast start. We wanted to push down the throttle," Hash said. "Tyrek's been hurt for a couple of weeks and hasn't been able to do as much offensive, but he came up big for us."
The big lead didn't last too long for Washington as the Cougars slowly began to chip away at it.
After a Washington fumble deep in its own territory, Jefferson took over at the 7 and scored four plays later as Carter found Darrod Doleman for a 5-yard touchdown pass. The Cougars' drive was kept alive by a holding penalty in the end zone on fourth down.
Jefferson found paydirt again soon after when Garrett Grantham returned a punt 77 yards for a score. Grantham bounced to the outside, then leaped a defender on his way to the end zone, cutting the lead to 21-13.
The Cougars used the passing game keep themselves in the game. A 42-yard pass from Carter to Doleman with 5:38 left in the game and a successful two-point conversion pass got the Cougars to within 35-27 after Washington had extended the lead to 35-19 a few possession later.
"Our receiving coach and quarterback coach saw some things in the defense and made some adjustments at halftime," Jefferson coach Richard Mills. "Doleman had a great game for us.
It was also a better defensive performance that got the Cougars back in the game.
"I thought we played pretty well on defense," Mills said. "We had a few lapses in coverage, but overall, I thought we did pretty well."
In the end, though, Jefferson couldn't contain Washington QB Tyler Wilt, who had 220 yards of total offense - 119 passing and 101 rushing.
"The last three games, he has gone over 300 yards of offense," Hash said. "He'll be one of the top quarterbacks in the state next year."
As are as 2011 goes, Washington put together a solid season at 5-5.
"We thought going in we could be 8-2, 7-3. We let a few games get away from us," Hash said. "From the time we started this year, all of these guys have put in a lot of hard work, and it shows."

A need to hide your thoughts and feelings from others could cause you to become secretive today. You may be lost in the vortex of your emotions and driven to find a private place to think. Even if you aren't usually a private person, you may instinctively seek out solitude today. You could delve more deeply into your thoughts through meditation, visualization, or journaling. Before you can use these methods, however, you may need to explain your needs to others so that they can give you privacy. Today can be a wonderful time to take a personal day and indulge in solitary activities that make you feel rested and renewed.
The time you spend alone, away from the distractions of the world, can help you develop an unshakeable sense of self. Our moments of solitude are the perfect times for considering and cataloging our thoughts. When you are alone, there are no other noises to interrupt or drown the wisdom of your inner voice. You can hear your thoughts without having to filter them through other people's opinions or the buzz of an omnipresent media. The peaceful atmosphere you surround yourself in will inspire feelings of serenity within you and help you develop a closer relationship with yourself. Give yourself time to be alone today, and you will reconnect more deeply with yourself.

Wendy Davis predicts GOP will "work to cram" abortion bill through the Legislature as quickly as possible
Sen. Wendy Davis says when Texas lawmakers return to Austin on Monday for another legislative session, she anticipates GOP leaders will be better prepared. Gov. Rick Perry didn't add bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks until the last special session was half over and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the presiding officer in the Senate, flubbed scheduling the bill for final consideration until the last day when Davis' filibuster and hundreds of rowdy abortion-rights supporters in the balcony of the Senate killed the bill. Davis says she doesn't expect Republican leaders to make the same mistakes again.
"The opportunity I had to filibuster this bill was from some mismanagement of the calender by Republican leader that gave us an opportunity," she told Wolf Blitzer on CNN. "I think this time, unfortunately, the consequence of that will be that they're going to work to cram this bill through as fast as they possibly can with as little public discourse as possible."
The Legislature reconvenes on Monday for its 30-day session. Republicans hold majorities in both chambers. Perry has put the abortion issue — along with a couple of others — at the top of the agenda.


text: Shell scripts are often running as background processes, doing useful things without running in a visible shell. To write such scripts can be quite painful, as all errors occur out of sight as well. While log files can hold a lot of information, finding the relevant information is a bit trickier. My solution is to log only the errors with all the details to a small database. This database contains tables for the message, the corresponding stack trace and the important environment variables. I have chosen for an SQLite database in this howto, but the same principle works with other databases as well.

I love TheLocal.se. LOVE that newspaper. Basically they take Swedish news, translate it (through google translator), add opinions (because real news deserves opinions), check if the translated article and opinions make sense, and post. Voilà! You have a news worthy piece for the English audience in Sweden.
And then, The Local writes intense, heavy news articles about chocolate, STDs, speeding tickets, gay parties, and drunk people. But this latest article is the icing on the cake.
The Örebro municipality's crime prevention unit visited The Body Shop to inform the lotion company that its posters gratuitously displaying the leaf of the Cannabis sativa plant (industrial hemp), was not acceptable.
Body butters + photo of a industrial hemp leaf = Drug promotion for teenagers
What on earth??
I know. Sweden has a lot of problems. Children see Pripps Blå commercials and immediately become beer drinking alcoholics on boats. Oh wait, they do that!
For a country that has one of the largest drug crime prevention units per capita, Swedes must be terrified of The Body Shop's lotions. And for some idiots, industrial hemp, indica, must be the same as the marijuana plant leaf. That's why it is legal to cultivate thousands of hectors of industrial hemp in more than 30 countries.
Karin Wickberg Taylar, press spokesperson for The Body Shop Sweden, said, "They (the Örebro municipal) argued that the use of the hemp leaf in the posters was offensive and provocative and that it undermined their work to tackle youth drug abuse."
But yes, I understand. In a country dealing with political upheaval across the spectrum and racially inclined shootings in Malmö, the most important thing for a crime department to concentrate on is: photos of a plant leaf promoting moisturized skin.
Maybe that IS the enemy. Moisturized skin. Soft, supple, beautiful skin. The Swedish government doesn't want us to know about body butters and other illicit lotions, lest the Swedes become even more sexy.
Some of the comments from the article were off the charts hilarious. I had to post them.
"Swedish customs agents are nabbing more body butter smugglers than in past years, and people traveling across the Öresund Bridge with small amounts of body butter figure prominently in the statistics.
Remember kids body butter kills! Just say NO!" — Soft Boiled
""sweedy82: Because don't you know, all drugs are bad. If you want to relax the only drug anyone should take is the one that's Swede-accepted and Government approved; by buying overpriced and overtaxed booze from the monopolized stores that carry little selection – so big daddy gets his chunk of your cash.
Anything else is evil and unsafe." — ISayWhatPeopleThink
"Yet alcohol is shown on Swedish TV programs all the time. Alcohol kills way more people in one day than have died of marijuana use since the days of Adam.
This is not conservatism or liberalism — it is just an insignificant municipality without any sense of perspective." — Rebel
Next time you put lotion on, just think, are you taking a gateway drug?
Haha i read this the other day.. It's hilarious. I might be jailed if I went to Sweden you know, I have a bag that is made of hemp plant. technically I'd be a "hemp user". Surely that is worse than a mere photo on body butter. . craziness!
You are on a dangerous path. Using hemp bags to store your hemp lotions is obviously wrong and promoting children to smoke plants.
No need to get upset just because a city official gets a somewhat dimwitted idea. I don't think they would be successful if the reseller were to assert their case in court.
Ignorance is bliss!
"Maybe that IS the enemy. Moisturized skin. Soft, supple, beautiful skin. The Swedish government doesn't want us to know about body butters and other illicit lotions, lest the Swedes become even more sexy."
EPIC. Pure EPIC. I almost spit my coffee out reading that. Hahahaha.
Didn't think Sweden had discovered it yet really. Been here 2½ years and never been offered anything worse than a lick of a little girls icecream on the beach! Wouldn't have a clue where to go to buy some even if i wanted it..which won't make my mates happy when they come over next summer lmao! :)
Can see their point really as the cannabis leaf is the symbol of "flipping the bird" as the yanks call it to authority. It's on hats,badges,flags,shoulder bags,zippo's…all kindsa stuff,so i can agree it could be contentious.
Would be more fun watching kids try to roll body butter into a joint in my opinion..but i'm not in charge! :P
Don't know why the Body Shop sells it. I sniffed in the shop once over here ( and true to form squished some up my nose accidentally) and crikey moses, it stank to high heaven. I had to go home and clean my nose because I kept smelling it!
Hehehe, would love to see someone trying to roll a joint from that – priceless ;-)
Funny, reading your post I can see how ridiculous this is, yet looking at the poster I have to admit I don't know why the leaf is there. It doesn't look like it belongs in the photo, everyone knows what hemp is, but I don't associate it with that leaf, so to me it's a poor marketing choice.
Mmmm, a joint rolled from body butter. Maybe people will start making body butter brownies too.
Juni, I agree with you that the leaf looks bizarre in the ad. Photoshop fail in my opinion.
it's very harmless on the packaging… but looking so off placed on that advert..a single hemp leaf.
you're right though, maybe they dont wan't others to know about the great Swedish secret of beauty and supple skin.
Formica Virus
@ Dano – To continue on the practicality of body butter joints, how would it even catch on fire? ;)
@Juni: actually I don't think everyone do know what hemp is. If everyone did, we would have a national panic over "drugs in our stores".
I remember a clip from Rapport several years ago, where a farmer had received a notice to seize his hemp production. It didn't matter that the THC levels were so low, that you'd have to smoke a joint the size of a large wooden lamp pole, the same you can see standing by the roadside, he should seize his hemp farming immediately.
I don't know if things have changed though.
The joint is where you get the treatment:
"Butter me up please!"
"Very good sir/ma'am, anything else?"
"Oh what the heck, put on some Astroglide and snails too, it's been a rough day."
@Mattias – Hahaha. You just made roll laughing.
I have seen some hemp products at the natural stores in Stockholm but I do agree, if everyone in Sweden knew hemp was "related" to cannabis then there would be a national outrage. Laserman #2 would probably be forgotten.
Sweden is not listed as one of the countries where industrial hemp is legal to grow. However, from what I gather, importing hemp products is acceptable.
The United States also prohibits growing industrial hemp but allows for importation (the irony). There are several states that have legalized industrial hemp in the agr sector even though state laws fly in face of federal. Expect a showdown between state and federal rights, again, in another year.
Here's a list of countries that do produce: http://azhemp.org/Archive/Package/Countries/countries.html
Well Formica mate that's the beauty of it all you see? We fall about laughing watching them try to roll one…then roll about some more when they're trying to light it! :)
Swedes can be quite cold. They could use more marijuana.
lmfao. Can I just say that I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one with thelocal.se as a guilty pleasure? That site just kills me.
@ Sapphire: I walked past the Body Shop shop in the town I live and they had a poster in the window also advertising the hemp body butter, but the poster wa covered in hemp leaves! I will take a pic and post it, if you want. If there wasn't a Body Shop sign on the shop, it could have been mistaken for a Dutch coffee shop!
@Jessica – Speaking of coffee shops, is it true that most Dutch villages and towns have at least one; or is that a myth?
@ Formicavirus: That is not a myth, it is true. At least, it was true. The government has been trying to crack down on the amount of coffee shops in various councils in Holland due to drug tourism.
Smelling Pickled Herring in the Wikileaks Arrest
[…] What bothers me most is who is pulling the marionette? Did Sweden miraculously create a functioning legal system? No, because the first time they tried to the execute the warrant, it was filled out wrong. And in a country where less than 6% of extreme crimes are ever solved, the Swedish police now have a case against Assange? Is this the same Sweden which agreed with the CIA in covert and illegal operations to take a suspect in the middle of the night on a plane? And the same Sweden where municipalities equate hem body lotion to drugs? […]

Music is my passion
People know me as a WNBA player and for helping Team USA win a gold medal in the Olympics last summer, but off the court, not everyone knows I'm very passionate about music, and have recorded a number of songs.
Music is very important to me, although right now it's not as important as my basketball career. I do it for fun and I've received a lot of good reviews, and some people even tell me it's inspired them. It's something I'd like to take more seriously after my basketball career is over.
It's not easy finding time to focus on my music with all the demands from my basketball schedule, so I usually take advantage of off days to go to the studio and work on it. I don't like for it to interfere with my basketball, because it is a lot of hard work and takes a lot of time. People don't realize how many days it might take to record one song. There's a lot of work that goes into it, so I take it slow. I don't like to rush it.
Some days I don't get enough sleep because I have so much in my head that I feel like I have to get it out on paper, and then I record it and send it to my man that mixes my stuff. Music is something that I have always had a passion for, but I just did not know how to even begin pursuing it.
It really didn't start until two summers ago when I was telling somebody about how I've always really liked music. They were like "Girl, please." And if you know me, you know I'm very competitive so I said "OK, watch, I'm going to start writing music." And I did. When I first started people kind of chuckled a bit, but eventually they saw that I was really serious about writing it.
I'd describe my musical style as pop. That's the type of music I like to listen to and the type of music I want to make. The types of artists I like are ones who worked hard when they were young and just starting. I like Jessie J a lot because she's always happy and her music makes you happy. I also like Rihanna and Beyonce because of where they started from and how they got to where they are today.
Another great thing about music is it's something I can use to vent. I spend a lot of time playing basketball and it can get tiring, and sometimes you need a break. So music is just another way to vent and get stuff off of my chest.
All I really want to get out of it right now is: I just want to be heard. I like to sing, but I'd really like to one day be able to write for a big-time artist.
So for now, my primary focus continues to be on basketball, but music is always in the back of my mind as well. And I have an EP coming out at the end of the summer, so everyone will need to check it out!

From time to time we hold a baptismal service at Brook Street Chapel. On these occasions we baptise, by full immersion in water, new believers who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and wish to follow his command by being baptised.
What is baptism?
The act of baptism itself is a simple, complete immersion in water. Our pool is located underneath the floorboards in the main hall of Brook Street Chapel.
Who should be baptised?
Baptism by immersion is a biblical principle, commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ and practiced by the early Church as described in the New Testament. Only those who have repented of their sins and put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus are baptised. The Bible never speaks of infant baptism – all that were baptised were old enough to understand the significance of the act. God's Word never envisages an unbaptised believer. The longest recorded delay was in the case of the apostle Paul, who waited for three days until he regained his sight after his conversion. Others, such as the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts chapter 8, were baptised immediately after they had placed their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Why should one be baptised?
- It is the Lord's command. If we wish to be obedient to our Saviour, then we should be obedient to His command (Matthew 28:19) and His example (Matthew 3:13-16).
- It is a public, visible acknowledgement of a private, invisible transaction. No one can see if you put your faith in the Lord Jesus, so the act of baptism is a witness to your new faith (Acts 8:27-39).
- It is an identification with the Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism symbolises our death to sin, burial and resurrection into new life with the Lord Jesus, acknowledging that His saving work on the cross makes a difference in our own lives (Romans 6:4-6).
Baptism is not necessary for salvation, but it is the Lord's command to all those who seek to follow Him and is the first step in committing one's life to Him.
Can I be baptised?
Believers' baptism is only for those who are have put their trust in the Saviour to forgive their sins, and who want to commit themselves to Him, and as such is not something to be entered into lightly. If you wish to be baptised, please contact us or speak to us when you visit the Chapel.
Can I come and observe?

RANSON - May was Older Americans Month, and while the Jefferson County Council on Aging sometimes brings in guests, many of its activities are run by volunteers.
Some of the volunteers are senior citizens themselves.
Two such volunteers are Mae Casteel from Harpers Ferry and Jo Fridinger from Ranson.
Article Photos
Mae Casteel
Jo Fridinger
Casteel, a former nursing home employee, has been coming to the JCCOA for three years and has volunteered for about half that time. However, she was hesitant to come to the JCCOA's Senior Center at first.
"My niece said 'Let's go to the center,' she had been there a couple times but I hadn't," Casteel said. "I went a couple times and I said, 'This isn't for me, I don't want to do this.'"
After coming to the center more, Casteel's opinion changed.
"I came here and fell in love with it, and this is my second home," Casteel said. "I love the people here, I love the fellowship."
Once she became more comfortable with coming to the center, Casteel decided to talk to Chasidy Seal, JCCOA's activities director, and offer to volunteer.
"I wanted to do more," Casteel said. "I call bingo, I go around and talk to the people and give them a hug. If they need something done or something picked up off the floor, I always try to help them."
Before coming to the JCCOA about eight years ago, Fridinger previously volunteered in Berkeley County. Now she is the exercise instructor at the JCCOA.
"We do a program called Active for Life," Fridinger said. "We stretch every joint and bone in our body, and we added singing and laughter to help with our memory and heart."
Like Casteel, Fridinger has found almost a second home at the JCCOA.
"The people, the staff, I can't put my finger on one thing I like about it here," Fridinger said. "It's just a nice place, the people and staff are nice. I wish more people in the community would come in and see what's here."
For Casteel, one of the center's biggest benefits, and why she enjoys going to the center and volunteering, is it helps her and her fellow seniors get out of the house.
"I just thank God that we have a place like this that we can come to, because a lot of us are widows and we're getting older and we need someone to talk to," Casteel said. "Sitting at home looking, at four walls, you just don't get that."
More information about the Jefferson County Council on Aging is available by calling 304-725-4044.

Hours of fun
By Pam
from Raynham, mass
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Skywalker Trampolines 15' Round Trampoline with Enclosure and Blue Spring Pad:
So glad we purchased this for our kids. They are having hours of fun jumping and playing games on their trampoline. It was delivered within days and it took my husband and I about 3 hours to set it up. Set up was pretty simple, the hardest part was sliding the protective foam over the pipes that hold up the net enclosure. Definitely worth the money!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product so far
By Kim
from Virginia
We bought this trampoline as a birthday gift for our 12 year old daughter after reading trampoline reviews on-line. So far, we are very happy with this product - great bounce, fairly easy set-up, seems sturdier and safer than others we have seen. All 3 of our kids (from 12 to 18) and their friends love it.
Good Trampoline
By Birthday mom

Instructions were not that helpful, but my husband still put it together in just under 3 hrs with no help. Have only had it a couple of weeks but have had 5-6 kids (ages 6 - 13) in at one time and does fine.

Delicious Oaxaca
... all our meals were consumed in this food market. We tried the local traditional Mole negro with chicken and rice which was incredible but eating at the market was not only about the food but also the experience. There was a section of the food market which was just this long awkward corridor with a lot of activity. As you enter you are harassed by people holding large baskets with a few pieces of veg on it. Once you pass this hurdle you are pointed down to the meat section ...

The Florida Coastal Management Program is based on a network of agencies
implementing 24 statutes that protect and enhance the state's natural,
cultural and economic coastal resources. The goal of the program
is to coordinate local, state and federal agency activities using
existing laws to ensure that Florida's coast is as valuable to future
generations as it is today. Florida's Department of Environmental
Protection is responsible for directing the implementation of the
state-wide coastal management program.
The Inaugural Meeting of the Florida Coastal Management Program (FCMP) held
May 3 - 4, 2016, in Tallahassee, Fla., brought together over 100 stakeholders
from local, state and federal governments, non-governmental organizations and
the public. The FCMP Annual Meeting built momentum, broadened awareness of FCMP
activities and engaged stakeholders to spur routine and regular coordination on
coastal issues, to offer opportunities to partners and to enhance support of
Florida's coastal communities and economic, natural and historical resources.
The FCMP is a network of state agencies implementing 24 statutes that protect
and enhance the state's natural, cultural and economic coastal resources.
Florida's Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for directing
the implementation of the statewide coastal management program.
At the meeting, stakeholders were provided an overview of the FCMP's
successes during the past five years and a look into the program's goals for the
next five years. FCMP initiatives discussed include: community resiliency,
estuarine habitat restoration, coordinated coral and hard-bottom ecosystem
mapping, monitoring and management, special area management planning, marine
debris and Coastal Partnership Initiative projects. The first day of the meeting
showcased successes from the five-year Coastal Zone Management Act funded
projects that were coming to a close including Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity's planning for community resilience guides for local governments,
management planning for aquatic preserves and long-term restoration planning for
Northeast Florida. The second day of the meeting opened with an overview of
marine debris projects, including long-term aquaculture debris removal and the
newly developing statewide marine debris reduction planning efforts. Local
governments also provided lessons learned from some Cedar Cove restoration
efforts done by the City of Crystal River and discussed Santa Rosa County's
abilities to leverage funding to revitalize Bagdad Mill Park. The meeting ended
with a look to the program's future of proposed projects and opportunities to
"It is in the state and national interest to protect, maintain and develop
coastal resources through coordinated management, and management of the state's
coastal zone requires a highly coordinated effort among state, regional and
local entities," said Becky Prado, Deputy Director of the Florida Coastal
Office. "More than ever, partnerships are growing around coastal issues
statewide, and FCMP is at the center of these partnerships to help guide
Sponsors of the meeting included Coastal States Organization, Estero

Armstrong and Buzz are in space again, though they aren't the Apollo astronauts who made history walking on the Moon.
Rather, cyclist Lance Armstrong and 'space ranger' Buzz Lightyear are sharing space aboard shuttle Discovery, now docked to the International Space Station. And they are not alone; joining them for the 14-day mission are retired Houston Astros' player Craig Biggio and New York Giants' quarterback Eli Manning.
Of course, none of the individuals (and fictional character) are themselves in space, but the crew of STS-124 chose to take items representing each of them aboard the orbiter.
"Well, he's this super human" said astronaut Karen Nyberg of Lance Armstrong during an interview with collectSPACE.com before she launched. "I just love his athletic abilities. I am taking one of his [Tour de France] yellow jerseys."
Similarly, Manning's back-up Super Bowl XLII jersey and Biggio's last game-worn jersey have places in the orbiting locker room. Four of the crew members hail from the New York/New Jersey area, home to Manning's Giants, and all live, train and take instruction while in space from mission control in Houston, south of the Astros' Minute Maid Park.
Lightyear, or a 12-inch action figure-version of the Disney and Pixar "Toy Story" spaceman, will "fly" from Discovery to the space station for a six month stay, kicking off an educational partnership between NASA and the house that Walt built.
The stowaways are part of the crew's "personal preference kits" (PPKs), small pouches that hold mementos not just for celebrities. A majority of the souvenirs are for their friends and family.
"Ryan, he has this little bullet that he used to carry around since he was a little kid. I know that sounds terrible but it's a spent rifle bullet and it just means something to him. I don't know why. So, we're flying that," pilot Ken Ham told collectSPACE.com about one of his two son's items. "And then Randy, he's a big Green Bay Packers fan, so he's got this Brett Farve thing."
Spacewalker Mike Fossum also took items for his boys.
"My second son John is 17, and he's finishing up his [Boy Scouts'] Eagle and I brought up on my first flight his Eagle badge but [on this flight, I have his] pin that will be pinned onto him during his Eagle ceremony. I flew my older son's [pin] on my first flight, he's already earned his. This time I am flying him a larger Eagle patch that he can have made properly framed and display in his office some day," said Fossum, who serves as a Scoutmaster of a Houston local Boy Scouts troop.
Greg Chamitoff, who joined the ISS's Expedition 17 crew after docking, is the second crewmen of Jewish descent to live aboard the station (the first, Garrett Reisman, will return to Earth with Discovery). He brought with him a pair of mezuzot as gifts for a former teacher and a friend. The encased, prayer-inscribed parchment customarily placed on the door frames of Jewish homes were designed by an Israeli artist who was inspired by space exploration. "I will install them [on the door of my sleep area], take pictures and then put them away," said Chamitoff.
The PPKs can also include small items for the astronauts themselves.
Nyberg brought a few pieces of fabric with her to knit into a quilt after the flight. "My mom taught me to sew when I was six. So I grew [up] sewing, making my own clothes," she said.
Beyond their personal kits, the astronauts could also pack items for organizations in their mission's Official Flight Kit (OFK), a larger stash of official presentation items. In the STS-124 OFK there is a patch for Jet Blue Airlines; World Series pins for both the White Sox and Astros teams; and ocean water for the U.S. Merchant Marine Booster Club in Kings Point, NY.
Ham has a microphone stand for ESPN. Spacewalker Ron Garan has a silver coin for the Manna Energy Foundation, which he founded to combat poverty. Fossum flew a flag for his alma mater, Texas A&M University, continuing his display of Aggie pride that he started during his first flight.
Nyberg, as the University of North Dakota's first alumna to fly in space, took a flag and a certificate for the school, as well as a compact disc. "The School of Engineering has sent a disc that has the names of all the students, faculty and staff since I think 1897, whenever the school started."
The mission's primary payload, the Japanese pressurized module, the primary component of the three-part Kibo lab and the longest component to be added to the outpost, is represented on the crew by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) mission specialist Aki Hoshide. He chose items for several schools in Japan as well as a package of Zelkova Serrata tree seeds for the government of Tokyo.
"We are [flying] a Japanese flag, but the Kibo itself is the commemorative item, I think," said Hoshide.

A 12-year-old Albion girl has been found unharmed, village police reported Thursday afternoon, and a man is being questioned about the circumstances surrounding her brief disappearance.
Marina L. Zeppetella, who was last seen Wednesday afternoon at Albion Middle School, was found this morning on Route 77, near the Pembroke exit of the state Thruway. She was located as a direct result of media reports and a tip from a concerned citizen, police said.
Police believe Marina left the school area on her own free will, in the company of a man, and spent some time in the City of Buffalo before she was located today. The man is in police custody.
Anyone who may have seen Marina during the past day, in the company of a man, is asked to contact Albion police at (585) 589-5627.

Big Catch Aboard a Boston Whaler Outrage
Canadian Princess Resort - June 13, 2013
You can hear the water gently lapping up the side of the boat. The rods are resting in their holders and the lines are set as you troll along. The scenery is breathtaking as you pass rocky shorelines backed dense rainforest within Barkley Sound, off the shores of Ucluelet, BC. This moment is completely serene. Then it happens.
SNAP! The clip comes off the downrigger and the tip of your rod dives towards the surface of the water. You quickly grab the rod out of its holder, jerk it up to set the hook, brace yourself and begin reeling in the line. It feels heavy! The fish fights back, diving deep into the ocean and you let it take the line down with it before starting to frantically work the reel again. This happens again and again as your fishing companions cheering you on!
Finally see the splash of silver and white 20 feet from the boat. The best fish put up the biggest fight! Your fishing partners grab the net as the salmon is reeled closer to the side of the boat. With a quick scoop your catch is on the deck of the Boston Whaler Outrage. This fish is HUGE!!!
Last summer, the Canadian Princess Resort was excited to introduce our new fleet of Boston Whaler Outrages! These new fishing boats allow you to troll for salmon in the more protected waters of Barkley Sound. Guests can choose from our tested-and-true Delta Cabin Cruisers, or embark on a different kind of fishing adventure aboard a Boston Whaler Outrage.
Fishing with one or two other people, your Boston Whaler Outrage fishing charter gives you completely personalized service. Your experienced guide will take you to the most productive fishing grounds on this 8 hour trip. The 20' vessels can get you into the hard to reach fishing grounds to help you reel in the likes of salmon, halibut, ling cod, and rock fish. Since it's just your personal party on the boat you can customize your trip and the options are endless!
The Outrages are stocked with top of the line fishing gear, and everything is provided to you including durable rain gear if required. If you have your own 'lucky rod' you are more than welcome to bring that with you.
Last week the Canadian Princess Resort had a staff training trip on one of our Boston Whaler Outrages. Check out what they came home with!

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
A team of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute found an increased concentration of certain metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of monkeys with SIV-induced central nervous system (CNS) disease, a model for HIV patients with CNS damage.
The investigators used global metabolomics to assess the levels of metabolites in CSF before and after SIV-induced encephalitis appeared. They found elevated levels in four categories: carnitine, acyl-carnitines, fatty acids, and phospholipids. Consistent with this, the team reports, a protein known to be important in the generation of fatty acids was increased in the brains of monkeys with SIV-induced encephalitis.
The elevation in free fatty acids and lysophospholipids correlated with increased expression of specific phospholipases in the brains of animals with encephalitis, according to the researchers. One of these, phospholipase A2 isoenzyme, is capable of releasing a number of the fatty acids identified. It was expressed in different areas of the brain in conjunction with glial activation, rather than linked to regions of SIV infection and inflammation. The scientists hypothesize that this indicates widespread alterations in infected brains.
The investigators then went on to try to understand whether the metabolic changes were due to SIV infection or were related to neurological involvement and encephalitis. CSF was collected before infection and approximately six months after infection from animals that did not progress to encephalitis. They found no significant changes in metabolite levels in animals that lacked neurological symptoms. This shows, according to The Scripps team, that the metabolic changes observed in late-stage infection are specifically related to SIV-induced encephalitis.
More research is needed to determine the exact role of the higher level of each metabolite, the researchers note. They point out, though, that many of these metabolites are known to induce receptor signaling and thereby might be able to further modulate CNS function.
The findings are published in the June 2 issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Hello and welcome.
Hey everybody, just wanted to introduce ourselves. My name is Chris and my wife's name is Jessica. I have been lurking around MDA for several months, and was ready to make the change, and apparently my wife was interested too, and today is our first day being primal .
We are both 26 and live in Gilbert, AZ. We can't wait to share our journey with you all and hope to live life to the fullest in the coming years!
Hello and welcome.
Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
-Rick Warren
Welcome, and Rock Out with your Grok Out!
Troll Alert!
Thanks wesrman and SoccerGrok. I'm struggling a bit after the first day and think I'm going to change my approach by easing into this rather than going cold turkey. I'm going to start a journal thread for the wife and I to help track our progress and hold us accountable(to ourselves, that is).

Best Russian orthodox church designed by an American architectCity Life, Ukrainian Village Add comments
Holy Trinity Cathedral by Louis Sullivan
The church was partially financed by the Russian tsar Nicholas II, and designed by the father of the skyscraper, Louis Sullivan. Its design, however, is as far from a skyscraper as it can be: it was inspired by small, onion-domed Russian provincial churches, and there is nothing imposing or overpowering about the building. It is worth seeing from the inside as well as from the outside: its inner space is decorated in traditional red and gold, the ceiling is blue and painted with golden stars. The icons and angels on the walls are mesmerizing. The cathedral is open for tours on Saturdays, from 10am until noon.
