**Since his feet got cut off in the picture, Yuya wears a simple pair of Geta shoes**
ahha i finally updated this application sheet! This is Yuya now currently for Noir Vale c:
his old app ahah to spot the differences can be found here [link]
Name: Yuya ( "a hundred nights" )
Pokemon: Gliscor
Age: 20
Village: Noir Vale
Job: Ninja
Ability: Sand Veil (Raises the Pokemon's evasion during sandstorm by one level)
Attacks: Poison Jab; Night Slash; Cross Poison
Likes: Alone time, peace and quiet, training, researching on a spiritual path, the night / evening time, honor
Dislikes: Disrespect to anyone, loudness, doesn't really like the daytime
Personality: a silent killer... Yuya takes his work very seriously. He has little time for 'goofing around', and prefers to spend his time either training his skills or looking out for the Village. He can often be seen alone, thinking to himself many times underneath the trees to protect himself from the scourging sun.
History: Yuya has always been different from his fellow kin. From his birth he was thought to have been mute, but it became clear later on in life that he could speak, but chose not to. His family had been under a special clan, and like all of his fellow gligar companions had to go through a rigorous test to obtain their armor, equipment, and family crest once they reached the age of 15. Yuya studied hard and worked to the best of his ability to make his family proud. Honor was (and has always been) everything to the boy. When the time came for his initiation, he along with three other young boys had gone into a special place called the Moon Cave Ruins in which they had to retrieve a single Soothe bell that was hidden deep within the cavern. Only one out of the three boys could become one of the clan.
Yuya and the other two ventured into the cavern, separating themselves in order to find the bell. Yuya, swift on his feet made sure to avoid lurking enemies hidden in the darkness, using his eyes and ears to listen to anything. When he tuned into the sound of a ringing bell in the distance, he immediately went for it, but stopped when he heard the shrilling sound of one of the other boys. The bell's ringing continued to sing to him, but he turned back in order to help the young ninja. The other boy had been attacked by a viscious Metagross who had already done enough damage to the boy. Yuya in turn managed to stun the angered beast before taking the boy to safety. With his mind set on the Bell again, Yuya carried his companion to the sound of the soothing ringing.
He had been surprised to have made it to the bell's location, and had taken it before leaving with the bell and the boy. The other boy had never returned from the Ruins... When dusk fell, Yuya was claimed as 'one of the clan', and received not only his family crest, but what was to be seen as a good luck charm for his bravery of saving the other boy. Yuya stayed with his clan until he turned 18, claiming that there were other things of this world out there that he had a desire to see. His family, both angered and sadenned that he made this choice, told Yuya that he was dishonoring his family if he left, abandoning them. It hadn't stopped the boy, but because of his decision Yuya vowed he would never dishonor anyone again.
Wandering underneath the darkened sky and the moon, Yuya came across the Dark Forest. He felt drawn to this Forest, and could have flown through it for an eternity, trying to unveil what secrets lay in this mysterious area. With his hearing however, it didn't take Yuya long to find the Village that was here in this vast land. Now, with sword in hand, Yuya began to make his way, hoping to be a part of this Village and its people.
After a series of events, both Miya and Yuya had lived on their own together in the quiet, changing forest. During that time, after much intimate moments, Miya had become pregnant with their new first born. During the war, both had agreed to lay low and seek refuge so that when the time came they would all be safe. When the Kami Trio war had begun, i many hours of labor their first born son, Baron, had come into this world. It was only until after the Kami Trio war that they, along with Baron, the family took refuge on the outskirts of the Village to be safe from harms way. During this time, much has changed. Dark Forest had become Noir Vale.
From time to time, Yuya has visited the quiet village he once knew. He ran into his fellow companion, Karutora.
Now that Dark Forest has been revived into a new, Noir Vale, the family has come to terms that they have begun to return, and to see old familiar faces, as well as new ones and a new beginning in the place they've always known as home.
Additional info:
- Yuya is rarely seen without his mask covering his mouth, but whenever it is off he tends to say a few words in regards to compliments wether it be food or clothing before quieting down once more.
- Yuya actually always wears a mask because he is somewhat afraid to show his entire face. The reasons for this are unknown, but it could have been through teasing whenever he tried to smile and all that could be seen were jagged, rigged teeth.
- When Yuya had saved his fellow comrade from the angered Metagross, he sustained a scar that lies across his left shoulder.
- He has an odd sense of humor. He'll laugh at out of the ordinary jokes, but will tend to be slow on the simplest jokes out there.
- There are only few points in Yuya's life where he wonders what fun could be and what he could do.
- In his spare time, Yuya trains. Sometimes though he trains in the art of drawing and kanji. The greatest he can muster is a flat meadow, sky, clouds, and stick people.
Random Information:
- The crest that Yuya wears on his left shoulder guard is suppose to be in the form of a bat hanging upside down. As such, the charm he was given is clipped to his left arm and is in the form of a gliscor. The mask he wears is to represent his fangs.

No matter how you feel about it though, Cara Delevingne makes this particular 14th of February just a bit sweeter in a special video feature with Giles and Swarovski. Essentially two minutes of the lovely Victoria's Secret model strutting around seductively (with a sense of humor), the video does well to remind the viewer of the comfort of a companion. Enjoy the video above. Twice, if you must. As many times as necessary, really.

Dukes Edge Bonnies, 2-1
Nov. 8, 2003
The Duquesne men's soccer team completed the regular season with a 2-1 victory at St. Bonaventure. The win takes the Dukes record to 13-3-2 overall and 8-2-1 in the Atlantic 10.
Trailing 1-0 at the half, the Dukes tied the game early in the second half as senior Damien Pottinger scored his team-leading 12th goal in the 49th minute before sophomore Steve Mellor put the game-winner in the back of the net in the 69th minute. Junior Derek Mackenzie and freshman Noah Salsi assisted on both goals.
The Red and Blue now await their seeding for the Atlantic 10 Championship which begins on Thursday, Nov. 13. The pairings will be announced tomorrow.

Keith Urban may be a superstar now, but the American Idol judge got a little musical blast from the past Tuesday when he appeared on Live with Kelly and Michael.
The hosts surprised Urban, 46, with a clip they dug up of him performing in his own competition, singing the Air Supply hit "All Out of Love" on Australian television. The country heartthrob was definitely in the midst of his awkward teen phase back then, sporting a gap between his teeth and a stick-straight mullet haircut.
Urban told hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan that he competed on four different shows from the time he was 9 until he was 15, and that experience, he said, makes him "empathetic" to the young Idol contestants who show plenty of nerves once they move from rehearsals to live performances.
"I can relate to that," he said of his obvious stage fright in the clip. "I saw it back and I was, 'Oh, I'm terrible!' It was a bit of the camera syndrome."

My mom was in town last weekend, on a last minute trip to spend Mother's Day with each other. It was more motivation to clean the apartment, and get all domestic making sure she'd have everything she wants. I made sure she brought her walking shoes! I was so excited to have her visit, and to share my life up here with her. Plus, she always leaves such positive energy behind. It must be all that love she has inside.
A baked sweet berry omelette topped with dried orange slices, strawberries, and Greek yogurt.
Baked Sweet Berry Omelette
I think I whipped the egg white too much though, since it didn't come out quite as fluffy as the original recipe.
4 whole eggs
1/2 cup dairy-free milk
1 Tbsp coconut flour
pinch of salt
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp goat butter
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
3.Beat the egg yolks with the milk, flour, salt, and sugar. Beat egg whites ny hand, with a wire whisk or with a mixer fitted with the wire whip attachment until stiff but not dry.
4. Put the butter into an 8 inch ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts, gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Pour into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, transfer to oven. Bake until puffy and browned on top, 15-20 minutes.
5. Serve hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with your choice of toppings. I opted for dried orange slices, strawberries, and Greek yogurt.
Variations: raspberries, blueberries, halved apricots, and peaches or nectarines before cooking the omelet. Substitute crème fraiche or sour cream for milk or cream, and add a pinch of ground cinnamon.
We walked to the market together, since I wanted to show her the wonderful fish selection at Citarella. Also, I'm not sure if it varies by location but the one in the Upper West Side has very knowledgable and friendly fishmongers. I made grilled chili-lime salmon, which is a little spicy, sweet, and citrusy. I also tried lime juice with balsamic vinegar and it was so delicious… I'll have to make a dressing including those two ingredients.
It was so awesome to finally see it come to life!

UN Human Development Report Indicates Environmental Damage Threatens Pacific Islands' Progress
3 November 2011: The 2011 Human Development Report, titled "Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All," analyzes how equitable access to renewable energy, health care, water and sanitation can advance both sustainability and human development. It notes that, despite impressive human development rankings in some of the Pacific Island countries, the region is threatened by rising sea-levels, reduced fresh water sources and fish stocks.
The report's key message is that equity and sustainability are inextricably linked; one cannot be achieved without the other. It notes that if bold action is not taken, environmental damage, including climate change effects, can slow or reverse development progress made in recent years. Climate change is expected to lead to major declines in fish stocks in the Pacific Islands. Additionally, the countries most vulnerable to these shifts are generally those most dependent on fish for livelihoods and exports.
This year's report ranks 187 countries and territories based on the human development index (HDI), a composite index of income, life expectancy, and education indicators. The increase over the 169 countries covered in 2010 partially reflects improved data from small island States of the Caribbean and the Pacific. In the Pacific, the levels of human development across countries vary significantly. The majority of Pacific Island countries are classified in the medium human development category. The Federated States of Micronesia, Palau and Kiribati are featured for the first time in this year's report. Palau and Tonga are part of the group of high human development countries.
The report highlights Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands as having high rates of natural resource depletion. In Solomon Islands, forest coverage has decreased from 80% percent to 4.3% in the last two decades. In Papua New Guinea, the forest coverage has reduced from 64% to 8%. It also cites community management of natural resources in Fiji, the practice of traditional systems for seasonal fishing, and Vanuatu on the establishment of conservation sites.

The Internet abounds with on-line dating services. Some are free, some charge a subscription fee. They all promise to deliver that special someone. Once in a while, they deliver the unexpected, a sexual predator.
DatingService.com lists the most popular sites, with such diverse names as the suggestive Get it On to the tamer sounding Friend Finder. Topping the popularity list is Match.com.
Dating service methodology across the board consists of a questionnaire and a computer program that runs an algorhythm to find where your answers best match with those of another individual. Match.com lets you decide how fast you think you will find someone you are attracted to. It has several package prices ranging from one month to six months. A three month subscription runs $22.99 each month. Signing up for six months costs less per month at $19.99/mo, or approximately $120. The longer membership guarantees you?ll find "a special person" if you follow the rules which include communicating with five prospective dates each month. So basically they are playing a numbers game. Like the old salesperson?s adage: Knock on 10 doors, make 1 sale.
Some on-line dating services specialize, for example by religious or ethnic preference. One site, Christian Dating Service exists simply to review other sites proclaiming to follow that particular belief system. eHarmony.com which places second on the popularity list at DatingService.com is no longer recommended by the Christian Dating Service. Their position is that eHarmony began as a Christian site, but has become secular. Instead, their top recommendation goes to ChristianCafe.com. This religious-based dating service charges only $79.99 for six months, but does not offer any guarantees. Still, you can play your own numbers game following Match.com?s math – 30 contacts in six months equals one special person.
Christian, or not, just how safe is on-line dating? A lawsuit against Match.com by a woman who claimed a sexual assault resulted from meeting a man via the dating service has raised questions of responsibility. Match.com rose to the occasion.
Recently, due to "more reliable" technology, Match.com says it will be screening members against public sex offender listings. Although data bases and search capabilities have, yes, become more sophisticated over the years, Match.com had the aforementioned motivation. Dating services claim to match you with the perfect mate according to questionnaire responses. That matching doesn?t mean the person you are paired with was honest or is harmless.
Don?t be taken in, especially by a desirable stranger. A savvy predator could use a false identity to get around a simple background check. Therefore, an apparently clean record doesn?t mean you can relax your guard. Relying on a website doing a background check for you can lead to a false sense of security.
Even trying to do your own research is tricky and time consuming. You?ll soon get a sense of what Match.com or any other dating service is up against. Searches on various words related to sexual crimes resulted in multiple registries across the US. One registry does not fit all.
The National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) claims to be the only government system that exists to link public state, territory, and even tribal sex offender registries from one national search site. Individuals can use this website?s search tool to identify the location of sex offenders residing, working, and attending school not only in their own neighborhoods but also in nearby communities and even other states.
In the US, the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act of 1996 (Lychner Act) required the Attorney General to establish a national database at the FBI to track the whereabouts and movements of certain convicted sex offenders. Unfortunately, the information isn?t available to private citizens such as you and me. Under the Act, the FBI may only release relevant information to federal, state, and local criminal justice agencies for law enforcement purposes. The site states: "Public notification will only be made if it is necessary to protect the public." Well, that?s usually too late to help a recent unsuspecting victim. Is this data available to dating service searches? Probably not.
CriminalCheck.com will search the National Sex Offender database by zip code for registered offenders. Sex offenders who move away from the state where they were convicted leaves local authorities and probably the dating service unaware. The offender will register their new address in the conviction state but many states don't require out-of-state offenders to register locally.
If you take the responsibility off the dating service and attempt your own search of your neighborhood, you?ll be shocked. This writer found 38 sex offenders residing in her zip code area, and not all were male. Two men were living in the same apartment complex. One was listed as an offender in Alabama; the other committed the offense in Hawaii. Looking at the details, all were offenses against children under the age of 18. So where are those who commit crimes against adults?
The National Alert Registry aims their searches specifically at child molesters noting the chance that your child will become a victim of a sex offender is 1 in 3 for girls and 1 in 6 for boys. Possibly correct statistics, more likely scare tactics to motivate you to subscribe to their service at $4.95/month.
Those data bases aimed at child molesters don?t protect the dating female (or male for that matter) from a predator. Rapists, specifically, don?t seem to have their own registry. The other misconception is that strangers met on line are dangerous. The truth is that most sexual assaults of adults are committed by someone the victim knows. Think date rape. The best rule for staying safe is to be vigilant and cautious in all cases.
Match.com has a list of tips for protecting yourself. Whether or not they screen for sexual predators, it is wise advice:
- Use your own transportation, meet in and stay in a public place.
- Tell a friend where you will be and when; take your cell phone.
- Stay sober and keep personal items under your control at all times.
- If you plan to meet someone long distance, take a taxi, stay in a hotel, not in their home, keep your hotel location private; and always, tell friends when and where you are going. Give them the identity of the person you are meeting.
- Each dating site has its own series of questions for processing your match. One site with the clic
hé name Plenty of Fish looks at your self confidence, family orientation, self control, social dependency and openness, and how easy going you are. They also had questions about your hair color and Zodiac sign – dubiously important information to base a lasting relationship upon. But to each his own. Their site offered free matches; some would say you get what you pay for.
Match.com offers a free trial, and paid subscriptions. You won?t get pricing until you create at least a mini profile which includes an email address, birth date, zip code which translates into a city, your sex, whether seeking a hetero or homosexual individual, (disguised as "seeking man or woman"), a user name and password.
This writer signed in, using phony information, as could anyone who wanted to hide their true identity. After viewing, and not selecting any of the subscription options, I backed out without signing up, as far as I could tell. However, I immediately received an email confirming my membership. It told me that Match.com was "responsible for more dates, relationships and marriages than any other site. Period." Well, that?s great, but considering this was only for research, I hope unsubscribing is not as difficult at Match.com as I have experienced in other situations. This could become an interesting experiment.

Customer Question
I have a broken
with a
root canal
on one of my large back teeth that I believe is causing a puss pocket on my upper gum line where my cheek meets I have dealt with this for months in fear of having the tooth pulled because I don't know what else could be done to the tooth. I have two crowns on my first two
teeth that are not root canals and the gums are swollen around them now. I'm wondering if this is spreading or if I take amoxicillin will it help?

I'm sorry to hear about your
It sounds to me that the root canal is leaking and obviously failed. The puss pocket on the upper gum line is suggestive of a deeper
that has developed into what we call a
(where the pus now drains).
It is possible that the tooth is unrestorable and needs to be extracted. But it is also possible that enough solid/healthy tooth structure remains so that once the root canal is re-treated, perhaps a post placed and some build-up, a new crown can be fitted and last many years.
But by delaying treatment, you may be jeopardizing the restorability of this tooth. So I strongly urge you to find out ASAP by going to see your
. If there is a chance at saving the tooth, and you're willing to invest the time and money into doing so, then you don't want to blow the opportunity by letting it go on the way it is.
itself won't spread to the other teeth in terms of causing nerve damage to the adjacent teeth. However, if allowed to persist, what will typically result is you'll end up with excessive bone loss around the current
infected tooth
, as well as to the bone supporting the adjacent teeth. I guess you can call it collateral damage. And when enough bone is loss, then the teeth loosen up, deep gum pockets may form, and you've essentially created a localized gum disease problem. It is very possible to lose more than just that 1 tooth when given the opportunity.
Taking antibiotics will help suppress the infection for a little bit, for a little while. But until the source of the infection is removed (whether via re-treatment of the root canal, or by extraction) the problem will keep coming back and you'll lose more and more bone because of it. But for the time being, you would benefit by taking some antibiotics. Call up your dentist and get a prescription filled and followed the dosage instruction.
Amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice for most dental infections, however, do not take it if you are allergic to penicillin. You can start with a loading dose of 1000mg, and then take 500mg after each meal, basically 3x/day for 5-7 days.
Granted the infected tooth is in a somewhat cosmetic region (visible if completely missing), there are ways to restore the gap if we are forced to extract the tooth. You can explore the options of an implant
(pricey but most ideal in terms of restoring a single tooth). There's also the choice of going with a bridge (fixed partial
/FPD), where the adjacent teeth are crowned (or re-crowned) and a floating pontic is attached to span the gap. Or there are removable options such as a temporary partial, or a
RPD (removable partial denture). However, RPD is not the best way to go in terms of restoring a single missing tooth.
So don't delay, make an appointment with your dentist and find out what needs to be done. That way, you'll know your options and can then decide, instead of having the tooth decide for because you've lost so much bone that even an implant cannot be placed.
I hope the tooth is salvageable and the prognosis is good. I wish you the best.

I forgot to add that the tooth behind it had a failed root canal with a crown as well and had to be extracted so it would probably be tough to put a bridge there. I did not have the same symptoms as I do now but I figured the ending result would be the same. Bummer. If you can believe this my former dentist told me that I was having all of the
I was from eating grapenuts cereal. Well, I didn't eat it dry! Anyway, I aprreciate your help.

Hi again,
If you still have another tooth further back on the same side, then a bridge (fixed partial denture) is still possible. What you need to know is that the longer the span of the bridge, the weaker it is. Usually a 4-unit bridge, which replaces 2 missing teeth in between, is about as long as we really should go. The reason is that even though the bridge is made with a rigid metal framework with porcelain backed on top to make it cosmetic, when you bite down in the middle (where there is no root support), the framework can still bend ever so slightly. When this occurs, it puts pressure on the ends of the bridge, where the supporting 2 teeth are and can sometimes cause the
to slowly break loose. Over time, a small gap may form and saliva and leakage occurs. The longer a bridge, the greater the flexure.
Now, as to address the issue of grapenuts cereal. Although I wouldn't go as far as blaming the cereal as the sole cause of any breakdown, it is comprised of many small, crunchy, hard pieces. For patient who have a lot of medium-to-large sized
, and or patients with multiple root canal treated teeth, it is important to be mindful of biting into hard foods.
With regards XXXXX XXXXX with large fillings, the way I explain to my patient is that imagine a the tooth is a porcelain bowl, and the filling itself would be if we had poured concrete into this bowl. So for the most part, this now bowl of concrete is rather strong! However, if you clench down on very hard objects, the forces are transferred through the concrete and transferred onto the porcelain bowl itself. Eventually, due to constant wear & tear, stress fracture can and will occur within the bowl, even if the concrete still appear to be strong and intact. It is also possible where if you bite down on the wrong angle, instead of the hard object hitting the concrete, you now hit the edge of the bowl, where the porcelain is. Biting down with the same hard pressure, the porcelain is much more fragile than the concrete, and a piece of the bowl cracks and breaks off.
So in the mouth, a renegade grapenut piece might catch the
surrounding a medium filling, the cusp being the porcelain bowl, is now more fragile and breaks off.
With regards XXXXX XXXXX that have been root canal treated, they are almost always restored with a crown especially if they're a
tooth. We tell the patients that doing so is part of the "standard of care" because the crown will protect the root canal treated tooth. While this is very true, I feel that some of my colleagues may unintentionally neglect to explain to their patients that even though the tooth has been crowned/capped, we still need to worry about the underlying tooth structure.
What root canal treatment does is essentially kill off the tooth; the nerve and blood supply, which carried the nutrients as well as moisturize the tooth are both removed completely and sealed off. The only reason the dead tooth stays in the mouth is due to the healthy bone and gum tissue surrounding it. So over time, the root/tooth itself starts to dry out from within, and the root actually becomes more and more brittle, easier to crack, split, and shatter over time.
And even though we have a nice, beautiful solid crown covering the root, if enough pressure is applied downwards, again, we can induce stress fractures and actually split the walls of the root. When this occurs, saliva and "crevicular fluid" can carry some oral bacteria down into the cracks, leak into the root canal, and subsequently cause a new infection leading to the failed root canal.
Although you've already lost at least 1 previous tooth, and the prognosis of this current tooth is unknown, I wanted to inform you of the dangers of eating crunchy, hard foods. Nut lovers who enjoy eating almonds, or those who may love eating Cornuts, and for you, who enjoy eating Grapenuts cereal, will need to be more mindful of where you bite down. If you have additional teeth in your mouth that have large fillings, or root-canal-treated teeth, you'll want to avoid biting down on hard objects with those teeth.
I am certainly not telling you stop eating your favorite cereal. I just hope with the information provided, we can help prevent additional, unnecessary breakdown of those teeth.
I hope my explanation of why teeth with large fillings and root canal treatments are weaker made some sense and increased your awareness slightly.
I wish you the very best,
JulXXXXX XXXXX, DDS

Video 7 – Definition of MC and Verification of Actual MC
By Dr. Eugene Wengert – Copyrighted material.
Used with permission by Wagner Meters
We have discussed the moisture content of wood, but have not yet indicated the definition of moisture content.
The strict definition of wood moisture content is the weight of water in a piece of wood compared to these pieces oven-dry weight. Moisture content is always expressed in percent (%), so we multiply the answer by 100.
We measure the amount of water by weighing the piece of wood, then oven-drying the piece at 215 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 36 hours, until the wood is dry. And then, reweighing the piece after oven-drying.
The difference between the two weights is the amount of water that was in the wood before drying. The final weight is the oven-dry weight.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Chris Gamble did it. So did Tyler Everett. And Malcolm Jenkins. Twice, actually.
Antonio Smith did it. Devon Torrence did it, too. And Travis Howard. Ryan Shazier did it last season.
The Buckeyes have returned eight interceptions for touchdowns against Penn State since 2002. Gamble's pick-six served as Ohio State's only touchdown in a 13-7 win during the national championship campaign of '02.
Jenkins nabbed a fourth-quarter interception in both 2006 and '07. Torrence and Howard each snagged a second-half pick in '10. Shazier's 17-yard return broke a 7-7 tie last season.
So, are the 2013 Buckeyes aware of the rash of pick-sixes against Penn State?
"I was aware of it," said Ohio State cornerback Doran Grant. "I'm pretty sure our defense was, too."
What can Ohio State's defensive backs do to get their hands on the football on Saturday, when Penn State rolls into Ohio Stadium at night? Nittany Lions freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg has tossed six interceptions in six games.
"Our coach calls it the backdoor slider," Grant said. "So you're waiting for the backdoor slider. If you see it, you have to react and make a play."
Speaking of Grant, he hails from the same high school and hometown as NBA megastar LeBron James. The two athletes have shared a similar sentiment about their upbringing in Akron, Ohio. James delivered a pre-game speech to the Buckeyes in late September.
Grant's cohort in the secondary, Bradley Roby, has had a tumultuous season after contemplating a jump to the NFL in the offseason. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said after practice Wednesday that Roby "has to play well." The All-American will likely spend much of the game defending dynamic receiver Allen Robinson. Meyer referred to Robinson as one of the nation's best receivers.
On Thursday, Ari Wasserman will have a feature on the halftime speech offered by Ohio State receiver Corey "Philly" Brown last Saturday. Meyer and many of the players referenced Brown's tirade at intermission as the spark the team needed after a sluggish first half against the Hawkeyes.
We'll also have news and notes stemming from Meyer's weekly radio show and we'll share our key players for Saturday's showdown against Penn State. Stay tuned to cleveland.com for all of your Ohio State coverage needs.

Still, when asked following Wednesday night's sloppy 99-78 defeat of North Carolina A&T if the Vols might be burned out, Pearl emphatically dismissed that possibility.
"This is a profession that doesn't lend itself to much time for the holidays," he said moments after watching his 16th-ranked Vols improve to 9-2. "We're playing through the holidays.
"I've let the kids go for three days (today, Christmas Day and Saturday). I want them to understand the blessings they have, knowing that sometimes the folks at home have made a lot of sacrifices for them to be here. I want them to go home and make sure everybody there has a great holiday."
After conceding that "Three days is not a lot of time" for a holiday break, the coach added: "I want them to flip the switch right now and start thinking about family. We've talked about what's on the other side (Memphis, Charlotte, Kansas). I've tried to get them to be excited about what we've got coming up when we get back and I've told them we're actually going to train harder than we trained before."
Yes, he said the Vols are going to train HARDER than they did before the holiday break when they reconvene Dec. 27 for a "voluntary workout." One reason is to improve the 3-point shooting. It has been horrendous in the Vols' last three games - 4 for 20 vs. Wyoming, 2 for 22 vs. Southern Cal and 5 for 26 vs. A&T. That's a combined 11 for 68 ... 16.2 percent.
"If confidence is an issue - in shooting, for example - there's no better way to build confidence than to work harder," Pearl said. "If you get in that gym and shoot until you can't raise your arm, you'll come out the next day and you'll be more confident you're going to make that shot.
"That's the way I want to train. I do not think we've overtrained."

Strain Controlled LVAD Unloading and Cardiac Remodeling in Heart Failure
Funded By National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (R01 HL 081106, PI: Dr. BP Griffith)
Acute cardiac remodeling appears to be an adaptive process of hypertrophy in response to increased LV-loading conditions and stretch with loss of contractility. It becomes maladaptive as the scar expands, LV geometry becomes spherical and normally perfused zones progressively become hypocontractile.
The goal of this project is to relate the amount of strain and reduction with unloading to post MI hypertrophy and impaired EC coupling and apoptosis.
In order to accomplish this goal, we are:
- Developing an animal model
- Using sonomicrometry array localization to measure LV regional function
- Determining biomechanical characterization of the LV using strain mapping
- Characterizing global LV function with echocardiographic imaging as well as pressure/volume measurements
- Using molecular biology to study tissue level structure and function
- Conducting a single cell study to measure myocycte level structure and function
In spite of new medical therapies and intervention treatments, long-term sequelae of infarction remain a major clinical problem. In the United States, more than a million patients sustain LV injury from infarct annually, and more than five million suffer with heart failure (HF). Acute cardiac remodeling after infarction appears to be an adaptive process of hypertrophy in response to increased LV loading conditions and stretch with loss of contractility. As the scar expands, LV geometry becomes spherical, and normally perfused zones progressively become hypocontractile.
The objectives of this study are to:
- Predict remodeling after MI using sonomicrometry array localization (SAL) strain maps
- Show how reduction of LV strain by mechanical unloading using a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) reduces infarct size and remodeling
- Show how post MI hypertophy and impaired EC coupling and apoptosis is regionally related to strain and reduced with unloading.
Integrated Artificial Pump Lungs for Respiratory Failure
Funded By National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (R01 HL082631, PI: Dr. BP Griffith, R41 HL083621, PIs: B Biancucci (MC3, Inc.), Dr. ZJ Wu (UMB), R41/42 HL084807, PIs: Dr. KA Dasse (LEVITRONIX, LLC), Dr. ZJ Wu (UMB))
The goal of this project is to combine biomedical disciplines in new approaches in an effort to design ambulatory wearable artificial pump lungs (APL). The APL will provide for the total respiratory needs of adults with acute and chronic lung failure.
In order to accomplish this goal, we are:
- Using computational modeling to measure fluid flow field, mass transport and blood damage in the APL
- Determining design optimization of the APL using multi-objective optimization algorithm
- Measuring biocompatibility, hemolysis, and platelet and white cell function assay
- Using digital particle image velocimetry to conduct flow visualization studies of the APL
- Using rapid prototyping techniques to construct the APL
- Conducting extensive bench testing and evaluation
- Developing an in-vivo evaluation of the APL
- Completing full system integration and control of the APL
Nearly 344,000 Americans die of lung disease yearly. It is the number three killer in the US. Lung disease costs the American economy $148 billion in total expenditures. While progress for heart disease and cancer, the number one and number two causes of death, have been marked by a significant fall in their rates of death (36.6% for heart disease since 1979), the rate of death from lung disease rose by 19.3%.
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) afflicts approximately 150,000 US patients annually, and despite advances in critical-care medicine, ARDS mortality remains between 40% and 50%. Currently available therapies using mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have not been effective and have even proven harmful to some patients. While lung transplantation has become an effective treatment over the past twenty years, fewer than 1000 lung transplants are performed in the United States annually due to the shortage of organ donors.
In our research, we are working to present novel active-mixing pump lungs (AMPL), with the goal of providing total respiratory support to an ambulatory patient.
Our objectives were:
- To develop computational fluid dynamics (CFD), based on multidisciplinary modeling, to optimize the function and flow field related biocompatibility of the artificial pump lung (APL).
- To validate the computationally predicted flow characteristics of the APL design in a circulatory flow loop using a glycerol/water solution.
- To evaluate the function and flow-field biocompatibility of the APL in a circulatory loop using fresh ovine blood and 8-hour in-vivo animal studies.
- To reduce in-vitro and in-vivo fibrin generation, platelet activation and thrombosis by modifying blood-contacting polymer surfaces on the APL device.
- To perform 30-day in-vivo ovine experiments to assess the long-term function, biocompatibility and durability of the APL device and its effect on the animal.
Pediatric Ventricular Assist Devices
Funded By National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NIH/HHSN268200448190C PIs: Dr. R Jarvik (Jarvik Heart), Dr. BP Grifith (UMB))
The goal of this project is to design, develop and test a child- and infant-size model of the Jarvik 2000 heart.
In order to accomplish this goal, we are:
- Using computational modeling to measure the fluid flow field characteristics
- Determining design optimization using multi-objective optimization
- Measuring biocompatibilty – hemolysis, platelet and white cell function assay - in order to optimize rotary blade geometries
- Using flow visualization techniques (DPIV) to quantify the flow field under steady and pulsatile conditions
- Developing bench testing methods to characterize the pediatric and infant Jarvik 2000 blood pumps under conditions representative of normal left ventricular myocardial contractility and of severe impairment
- Conducting long term in-vivo testing and evaluation
Multiscale Dynamics of Shear-Induced Blood Damage and CFD Modeling
Funded By National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (R01 HL 088100, PI: Dr. ZJ Wu)
The long-term goal of these studies is to develop accurate, robust, and physiologically realistic numerical models capable of predicting the functional characteristics and bio/hemo-compatibility of cardiovascular devices. The models can aid in the development of new designs in order to improve the functional characteristics and bio/hemo-compatibility of the devices.
The specific aims of the proposed project are:
- Identify the correlation between CFD-derived fluid-dynamic variables (shear stress, exposure time, flow pattern) and blood damage data (platelet activation, thrombosis, and hemolysis) obtained from human patients and animals implanted with ventricular assist devices (VADs).
- Develop multi-scale in-vitro experimental platforms to investigate the influence of specific fluid dynamic characteristics on blood cell damage. Using these platforms, generate comprehensive databases of flow-induced blood damage.
- Based on the collective databases of blood damage, develop and implement a validated CFD model of flow-induced blood damage in a biomedical device.

At 6-foot-4, 315 pounds with five-flat speed, Ramone Johnson is well worth pursuing. As a junior, he helped lead Morgan Park High School to the state playoffs and a 12-1 mark, recording 52 pancake blocks in a dominating campaign that earned him all-conference and Chicago all-city honors. Equally at home playing guard or tackle, Johnson is as powerful as he is agile.
"I'm dominant and aggressive," he said. "I don't like to lose. For a big guy I'm quick and fast. I'll keep on blocking until the whistle blows. I just want to work on getting quicker."
A self-proclaimed "total smash mouth football player" Johnson bench presses 365 pounds, squats 550 and can power clean 205 pounds five times.
Regarded by many as the best prospect in Illinois this year, Johnson is described by Scout.com experts as: "dominant at the point of contact, he has tremendous power in his legs and his initial punch is also very good. Understands angles and works hard on technique. Will be a very good guard at the next level."
Tennessee has survived the initial screening process and rates as one of Johnson's five favorites along with Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota and USC. All except the Trojans have extended offers.
The Vols have a couple of factors working in their favor in the recruitment of Johnson. UT's power running attack is tailor made for his style of play, and an alumni graduate from his high school enjoyed success in Knoxville.
"I like the linemen that Tennessee produces," he told Chris Pool of Scout.com. "We just had a Morgan Park alumni graduate (former UT defensive end Karlton Neal) from there and get drafted to the Tennessee Titans."
Rated No. 18 among the Class of 2006 offensive line prospects, Johnson might break UT's dry spell in the Windy City.

Finland is already pretty known for a lot of weird music, very different from most psytrance from the rest of the world. The first track on this one starts pumping fast from the first second. A few seconds later we get some unbelievable crazy psychedelic melodies and sounds. All this follows the track all the way through, with a lot of variation. This reminds me a bit of old melodic goa, but in a crazy way. It sounds a bit like Nervasystem. This is the kind of psytrance I miss these days. Variation, cool sounds and crazy melodies. Great track! Track 2 has heavy stumping rhythms and darker sounds. Very massive sounding, including nice psychedelic melodies and sounds. Track 3 is even darker, but after a few minutes, a beautiful weird melody comes in and gives us a little break. Then the rough rhythms starts pumping again. Track 4 (Ghost Train) starts with the sound of a train going on the railway. Then we get some really groovy break beat rhythms and a scary melody. I love this sound. Totally out of this world crazy. If you like crazy dark break beat rhythms with a lot of psychedelic sounds above, this is great! All this goes over to banging melodic psytrance after a few minutes.
Track 5 calms down the first minute. Then the heavy dark break beat rhythms comes back again, this time darker than before. We get some guitar alike melodies, and a very rock sounding sound picture. Track 6 has a very funky vibe, still with all the crazy sounds and variation. Track 7 starts metallic and hard pumping. This is one of the hardest tracks on this album. But you get a few breaks in between, and there are still tons of sounds and melodies in between the hard pumping bass rhythms. Track 8 gives me nostalgic memories back to the old melodic goa period. This sounds a lot like good old Israeli trance, with stumping rhythms and with a modern twist. Track 9 is a really fast track, with strange Asian melodies and a ton of cool sounds. Track 10 is even faster. Some people have compared this to gabba techno. And yes, it is that fast! But still you get all the crazy psychedelic sounds and melodies. The last track is surprisingly a drum n bass track with a beautiful flute above the jungle rhythms.
This album really surprised me! This is not like anything else coming out these days. These Finnish guys has given us back the crazy sounds and melodies that we had before, and mixed it with a modern sound, and I love it!

'Moonbeam City' Trailer: Rob Lowe is an Animated Sleaze God
Rob Lowe, Elizabeth Banks, and Will Forte voice Comedy Central's absurdist take on sexy crime dramas of the '80s.
Welcome to "Moonbeam City," the single sleaziest, horniest, and most absurd take on "Miami Vice"-style crime dramas I've ever seen.
Comedy Central's upcoming animated series stars Rob Lowe (arguably our greatest and creepiest actor) as Dazzle Novak, "a handsome idiot who commits more crimes than most criminals." Dazzle has to contend with his overbearing boss Pizzaz Miller (Elizabeth Banks) and cocky rookie Rad Cunningham (Will Forte), who is determined to see him fail. The show debuts in 2015, but for now you can glimpse this seedy, neon, pink, slightly NSFW-ish trailer.

Ole Miss announced its presence on the national football stage Wednesday, at least from a recruiting standpoint.
The Rebels signed a 28-man class ranked anywhere from No. 2 to No. 9 in the country, grabbing commitments from four high-profile players on national signing day. Five-star defensive end Robert Nkemdiche -- the unanimous No. 1 national prospect out of Loganville, Ga. -- got Ole Miss' big day going with a live television announcement shortly after 6:30 a.m., and the hits continued throughout the morning.
Ole Miss also landed signing day commitments from offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (Lake City, Fla.) and Austin Golson (Prattville, Ala.), as well as South Panola safety Tony Conner. All three players are ranked among the top 100 prospects nationwide and among the top handful of players at their positions.
They joined a group of commitments -- now signees -- that already included several national blue-chippers: Illinois wide receiver Laquon Treadwell (the country's top wideout) and Tennessee running backs Mark Dodson and Jordan Watkins among them, as well as in-state standouts quarterback Ryan Buchanan of Jackson Prep and running back Kailo Moore of West Bolivar. A visibly giddy Rebels coach Hugh Freeze said he and his staff took advantage of some natural "ins" with top-level players.
"Our staff did a wonderful job of executing our 12-month plan," Freeze said. "We just always felt like if we can get a group of top players here together on the same weekend and experience Ole Miss for what it really is, and the people here, that we would have a chance. It's a combination of having 'ins' to those people, and the job our coaching staff did, our great university and what our players did, that made today possible."
Though Conner hails from nearby Batesville and Treadwell's high school teammate and close friend Anthony Standifer signed with Ole Miss last year, players such as Tunsil and Golson had no direct connection to Mississippi or the Rebels. Freeze and lead recruiters Tyler Siskey and Chris Kiffin burned up the recruiting trail, offering scholarships to nearly 250 players throughout the country.
The crown jewel of the class is obviously the 6-foot-4, 285-pound Nkemdiche, who had nearly every major program in the country after him. He also took official visits to LSU and Florida, but in the end signed with the Rebels.
"I feel like it was the right place for me," Nkemdiche said. "I feel like it's a special place and they're on the rise. I'm ready to do something special."
The Rebels had an obvious in with Nkemdiche, given the presence of his older brother Denzel on the Ole Miss roster. Denzel Nkemdiche was a freshman All-America pick for the Rebels in 2012.
Given the program's less-than-stellar recruiting history and modest level of recent success, Ole Miss' 2013 recruiting haul has caused whispers on social media and talk radio over the last several weeks. Freeze answered such charges head-on on Twitter last week, and did so again Wednesday.
"That's who I am," Freeze said. "We had a plan and we executed it with integrity. Any time that's being attacked, I want to respond to it. ... If there's something going on out there that's against what we stand for, I would like to know it. Just because we're upsetting the apple cart, so to speak, and doing something that hasn't been done ... That's part of our sale point -- 'let's do something that hasn't been done.' ... It's unfortunate that people can say whatever they want. If they have facts, we want to hear them."
It was not quite a perfect day for the Rebels, however. Indiana linebacker commitment Elijah Daniel flipped to Auburn on Wednesday morning, while Ole Miss also lost out on Houston defensive end Chris Jones when the five-star prospect stuck with his original commitment and signed with Mississippi State.

All of South Carolina was declared a federal disaster area Wednesday as a result of the heavy rains that have inundated the state since late last winter.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack notified Gov. Nikki Haley on Wednesday that her request for a disaster designation has been approved. That means farmers across the state who suffered crop losses because of the heavy rains can qualify for low-interest loans.
Vilsack designated 36 counties primary disaster areas as a result of the rains that have fallen since March 1. Those include Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester counties.
The remaining 10 counties were declared contiguous disaster areas where the damage isn't quite as severe but farmers still qualify for loans if rain caused crop losses. Those counties are Abbeville, Chester, Greenwood, Lancaster, McCormick, Anderson, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lexington and Oconee.
"I am pleased with Secretary Vilsack's quick response to South Carolina's request," state Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers said in a statement. "The agriculture industry contributes greatly to the state's economy, and this unusually wet summer has impacted the work of our farmers."
Since the first of the year, rainfall in Charleston is 11 inches above normal. In Columbia rainfall is 12 inches above normal while in Greenville, rainfall is running 21 inches above normal, according to the National Weather Service.
Last week Haley and state Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers visited a Dorchester County farm to view the damage that has left fields flooded, preventing farmers from planting crops or harvesting those crops they were able to get into the fields.
Agriculture officials say that crop damage has exceeded 30 percent in the 36 counties declared primary disaster areas.
The rain has been helpful in growing an abundant supply of hay. But wet fields have farmers worried they won't be able to harvest, which could mean a shortage of livestock feed after the first frost.

Reevaluation Counseling
Also called Co-Counselling
[Long description of process that was on this page turned out to be Copyrighted material -- and is easily accessible on the web site above anyway.]
Here's an interesting academic paper about the movement:
It sounds like a really useful approach to the psychological wear and tear we accumulate during life. (Mentally substitute your own metaphor for "accumulate wear and tear" if you prefer.)
And perhaps this kind of half-baked Freudianism is a godsend to the manipulative, the dominant, the controlling
the weak, the submissive, the vulnerable. AFAIK, if one has a condition amenable to a "talking cure", then it doesn't matter which one you choose. It's the
itself, not the theory, that matters. (BTW, fully-baked
isn't much better)
One quotation pulled form the website
The theory assumes that everyone is born with tremendous intellectual potential, natural zest, and lovingness, but that these qualities have become blocked and obscured...
Really? I'll say it again:
A friend of mine practiced RC for over two years. She left after feeling that her group was becoming more and more cult-like. She felt pressured to give increasing amounts of time to RC: when she left, it was up to two evenings per week and one Saturday per month. After she announced she was cutting back, she felt manipulated and then blacklisted by friends still in the group.
Perhaps this was just this one group; perhaps the manipulation was in her own head. Perhaps
Talking to another friendly person about how you feel when you feel that's necessary is probably a good thing. Deciding on some ground rules and structure, and then sharing your experience with other people who do the same thing might be good. Letting the system become more important than the outcome is generally bad.
Distress Patterns
(moved from page of same name)
As described on the
web site, a "distress pattern" is a rigid pattern of behavior that has been accumulated by past hurts of a similar nature that have not been sufficiently discharged.
Now this has got to be pretty emotional. How do you get someone you know to share this kind of stuff with the world?

G-20 Recognizes Need for Increased Climate Financing
7 November 2009: The Group of Twenty (G-20) Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors met in St. Andrews, UK, on 6-7 November 2009, to discuss climate financing, among other issues.
In the resulting Communiqué, the G-20 recognizes the need to increase significantly and urgently the scale and predictability of finance to implement an ambitious international agreement on climate change, and to establish coordinated equitable, transparent and effective institutional arrangements. The leaders also note that public finance can leverage significant private investment, and that increasing the scope of carbon markets would depend on policy frameworks of developed and developing countries and on the depth of emission reductions on the part of developed countries. Leaders commit to take forward further work on climate change finance, to define financing options and institutional arrangements. [The Communiqué]

Do you ever wake up in the morning and think, "Where did THAT dream come from?"
I've been doing that a lot lately. I don't know why, but my dreams have been really odd the past few weeks.
Sometimes I dream about something that someone posted on Facebook, or about someone that I haven't seen since childhood. Last night I dreamt that I hired a babysitter for C and he turned out to be a comedian that I'd heard on 24/7 Comedy Radio on my iHeartRadio app. The night before that, there was a tornado but we couldn't go to the basement because it was on fire.

Sponsored by the Classics, Philosphy and Religion departments
Fall 2015
Public Lecture
Gregory Smith (Department of History, Central Michigan Univeristy)
"Demons, Dualism, and Descartes: Material Paradigms From Augustine to Einstein"
Wednesday, Septmeber 30
3:30 pm
Meeter Center Lecture Hall
Synopsis: How thin is your mind? And is it more or less dense than the moon? If you think these are silly questions (and you do) you can thank René Descartes. Even though he didn't, Descartes should have thanked Augustine of Hippo, who invented not just Descartes' most famous argument, the cogito ("I think, therefore I am") but also the idea that we have an "inner self" in the first place. By way of Descartes, we have all inherited from Augustine the concept of a radically immaterial soul or mind, a private inner place more or less mysteriously connected to—or emerging from—our physical bodies, and especially the brain. Even when we try to avoid it, we take this model for granted all the time. But it wasn't always so.
In pursuit of the history of what we now call substance dualism, scholars have naturally focused on the philosophy of mind as it appears in Augustine, Descartes, and other seminal thinkers. This lecture will change the subject, so to speak, by focusing on the "body" part of the infamous mind-body problem. It sketches the little-known history of fine-material or "pneumatic" mechanics in the ancient world, and shows how difficult it was even for Platonists to think in non-material ways about soul or mind—or at least to think in the Cartesian sort of non-material ways that most of us take for granted. Finally, it offers new conclusions about some of Augustine's most radical and far-reaching innovations, especially as evident in his developing thought on demons' bodies.

Fall 2013 Public Lecture
Dr. Michael Fontaine (Cornell University)
"On Being Sane in an Insane Place: The Rosenhan Experiment in the Laboratory of Plautus' Epidamnus"
Thursday, September 26
3:30 pm
Commons Annex Lecture Hall
Synopsis: Plautus' Roman comedy Menaechmi (The Two Menaechmuses) of c. 200 BC anticipates in fictional form the famous Rosenhan experiment of 1973, a landmark critique of psychiatric diagnosis. An analysis of the scenes of feigned madness and psychiatric examination suggests that the play (and the earlier Greek play from which it was adapted) offers two related ethical reflections, one on the validity of psychiatric diagnoses, the other on the validity of the entire medical model of insanity—that is, of the popular notion and political truth that mental illness is a (bodily) disease 'like any other'. The paper is thus offered as a contribution to the interpretation of the play as well as to the history of Psychiatry.
Free of charge. All are welcome. A reception will follow.

Erie police investigating eastside robbery
A man was assaulted and had cash stolen in a strong-arm robbery on Erie's east side late Wednesday night, city police said this morning.
The incident happened at about 11:20 p.m. Wednesday in the 200 block of East Seventh Street. A man told police that he was approached by a woman who asked him for a ride. A man then appeared and punched the victim in the face, and the victim was robbed of a small amount of money.
The suspects were last seen in the area of East Third and Parade streets, police said.
Officers who responded found a vehicle in the middle of the road and the victim bleeding from his face and nose.

Sharky's Family Fun Restaurant takes it to the extreme
April 12, 2011 - Carla Tracy
Sharky's Family Fun Restaurant at Lipoa Center in Kihei is becoming renowned as an "extreme food" kind of place. It serves the largest BLT on the island with one pound of bacon along with Maui's biggest pizza and largest nachos.
In addition, diners may enter to win the Great White Chicken Wing Eating Challenge any day of the week. All you have to do is eat eight super hot wings in five minutes to win a T shirt.
"Try to take down the meanest shark wings in the seven seas," says Manager Josh Marten. "They are really HOT! Each table will have a bell and when you are done you ring the bell. No liquids can be consumed, except for extra hot sauce, of course, and a waiver will need to be signed. If you make it through the inferno of flavor, you will win a T-shirt saying you survived the Great White Attack at Sharky's. If you can't finish, a red siren will go off and the waitress will give you a glass of milk." In addition, Sharky's will celebrate its new menu with a grand relaunch party from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, April 17.
"We never had a grand opening, and the menu is changing, so we thought, why not have a party?" says Marten. Besides having a pirate ship to jump on, balloons and a face painter, the party will feature Wii sports games, a bouncy castle and more.
"The day of the party, we'll feature live music all day, pie-eating and hot-dog eating contests. And, if you dress like a pirate, you get free tokens for the games."
Fun birthday packages are available for the little ones. Prices start at $14.95 for a six person minimum and you get reserved table, two hours exclusive game room, 12 tokens per guest, pizza, drinks, balloons and more. Cake is extra.

davidsebbo We normally stay in budget accommodation, so this was luxurious for us. I cannot fault the hotel in any way. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and arranged well priced taxi trips on two days. (The hotel also arranges transfer to/from the airport, though we did not need them as we were en route to Amman). The room was very well appointed and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good. The location was within easy walking distance of the centre of the town, which had plenty to offer. I would recommend Madaba and the Rumman Hotel to anyone seeking a touring base in Jordan (much better than Amman!).
