There are the speed runners; whether they're going for a speed record or are just impatient, these gamers are determined to get from start to finish as fast as possible so they can move on to the next accomplishment.
Then there are the completists; explore every corner, collect every item, watch every ending, achieve every achievement and troph every trophy…they exhaust every little detail out of a game short of diving right into the programming source code naked and laughing.
And then there's me. Somewhere, somehow, I ended up in the twisted reality that was both types at the same time.
Stuck in the Middle wit Chew
It never used to be this way. For years, ever since I was a wee little Ich, I was firmly set as one type. The completist. Bombed every wall in Metroid. Burned every bush in Legend of Zelda. Tried to unlock every front door in Silent Hill (and Silent Hill 2, and 3). Explored every room in Half-Life long after the enemies were dead. If a path took two directions and I could only go the one way I would make sure to come back during a replay and try the other. I dumped dozens of hours into GTA: San Andreas to max every skill out to 100%. I even collected every damn banana in Donkey Kong 64.
That was my thing. That's what I always did. That's what I'm sure a lot of people here have done. Nothing new. If you're gonna spend your hard-earned cash on a game you might as well get your money's worth.
Then something happened. Not necessarily to the game, not recently anyway. But to me. Something happened inside my head as I'd sit on the floor and watch the clock and realize it was 2am and I had to get ready to go to work in 4 hours but still push on to see what that next level looked like.
I got bored.
This wasn't really the fault of the games (except for when I decided to be a dumbass and buy Superman Returns for PS2 hoping it was better than the godawful mess of Superman 64), but more of me being obsessed with exploring and collecting everything and not missing a single mission while playing these games that became bigger and bigger in size and scope.
I noticed at some point, especially in story-driven games, that I was continually breaking the narrative flow when an NPC would say, "Follow me," in a cut scene and when it went back to the game I'd run in the opposite direction to make sure I looked around the entire area in the off-chance that in following I wouldn't be able to come back to that area. And with such an obsession with exploring I ended up losing the fun of just playing the damn game. I walked around with Detective Mode on for so long in Arkham Asylum that when I'd occasionally switch it off I'd be like, "Oh, that's what the game's supposed to look like."
But really, most of all, I was bored of these giant maps that I would have to travel back and forth on endlessly as each mission directed me to opposite corners. Even fast traveling to other maps just meant I had to trek back and forth across those maps I had fast traveled to. It all looked the same because it was the same. When you travel hundreds of miles just to get to a bare handful of missions the shit eventually starts to get old.
Maybe I'm just playing the wrong types of games. Well, no, not really. I'm going to want to explore no matter what game I play. It's in my nature. But this just ends up making me impatient, so I try to burn through the game faster and then I kick myself for possibly missing something.
I think Skyrim was what pushed me to the edge. An entire continent to explore combined with ADHD is a somewhat volatile mix. I'm probably about to admit gaming sacrilege, but after sinking over 20 hours into the game and not even making a dent I finally ended up tossing my controller aside, ejecting the disc, clicking it back into the case, driving back to Gamestop and selling it.
If Skyrim pushed me to the edge, Borderlands was the kick in the pants that sent me toppling off it completely. With horrendously long load times between maps, hardly any story content, hundreds of caskets that I felt compelled to open and endless miles of cell-shaded dirt, Gearbox seemed to laugh at me as I'd realize I spent an entire evening playing the game and had only completed two missions. I haven't snapped with it like I did with Skyrim and its potential 200+ hours remaining, but I have set it back on my shelf. It sits there unfinished, in-between Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Dead Island, both of which I've also started but backed out of halfway through. I even downloaded Back to the Future: The Game but have only played through Episode 1.
I haven't given up on gaming completely. Earlier tonight I beat a softcore little gem called A Super Mario Summary. And I still read every issue of Game Informer that comes in the mail. If inFAMOUS 3 ever gets developed I will devour it like a saber-toothed tiger, or something (I don't know). And one of these days I'm finally gonna purchase the Kingdoms of Amalur that I pre-ordered three months ago.
But for now my PS3 is gonna sit there cold and untouched, with the Bluetooth lying face up next to it. And I'm going to wait until the fire comes back. And some day, maybe sooner, maybe later, I'm gonna jump back in and start blowing shit up again.
But not today.

Product description
Woodstock – fetching wood has never been so much fun
Enjoying the warmth of an open fire, a wood burner or a Qrater campfire with family or friends is only possible... if someone is willing to fetch the wood. A log basket? Not very efficient. And let's be honest, generally not very attractive either. The perfect solution? Woodstock!
Woodstock consists of a firewood rack and matching cart. You can fill the rack with a considerable amount of logs and then transport them effortlessly to where-ever you want. The rack keeps the logs neatly and beautifully stacked right where you need them, thus perfectly marrying beauty and functionality. And the cart? Why don't you also use it for transporting other heavy objects?
Efficiency, also from an environmental point of view
Woodstock is not only about great functionality, as most other Extremis products it also offers great environmental efficiency. As the cart is made of the leftovers of the rack, hardly anything goes to waste. A smart packaging design furthermore ensures a very limited transport volume. So it is not surprising that OVAM, the Flemish Public Waste Agency, refers to Woodstock as a classic example of an ecological product...
Facts & figures
· Woodstock consists of a firewood rack and matching cart. They are only available as a set.
· There is a powder coated indoor version (black) and a galvanised steel outdoor version. The outdoor version can of course also be used indoors and vice versa (subject to some extra care).
Woodstock can hold 1.18 m3 of wood provided that you use 30 cm logs.

An analysis of motives for western FDI in Turkey
The factors which motivate Western MNEs to engage in FDI in Turkey by means of both wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures are investigated for a sample of 98 firms. The highest ranked motives for FDI in Turkey are principally concerned with gaining a presence in new markets and enabling faster market entry. A parsimonious set of motives for the sample studied is provided by means of factor analysis. Hypotheses are tested on the relationship between the relative importance of motives and a number of characteristics of the sample. The relative importance of the motives is found not to vary with ownership pattern (wholly-owned subsidiary or joint venture), to vary to a moderate extent with the country of origin of the investment and the mode of entry (acquisition or greenfield), and to vary most with size of the investment and industry of the investment.

Pentagon updates Law of War Manual to recognize journalists' role in covering conflict
Frank Smyth, CPJ's security consultant, was stunned when he read the newly released Law of War Manual from the U.S. Department of Defense in June 2015. The manual included language that allowed journalists to be categorized as "unprivileged belligerents," which would allow military commanders to detain journalists indefinitely outside the rules of war.
"I was shocked that the manual failed to recognize the role and importance of independent reporting, while placing journalists in the same potential category as terrorists, saboteurs and spies," Smyth said.

The Main Inn Building has three guest-rooms on the second floor, each with a private bath. They all have access to the amazing 7-person hot tub on top of the water tower with views of the ocean and hills. Also, there is a modest second floor sun deck.
The first floor living room, dining area, library, wrap-around Porch and terrace are all open to guests, as is the Newport room, which can seat 50 people for meals. At one end of this room is an intimate seating area in front of a 20 foot stone walk-in fireplace, which you can actually sit in. Located on the lower level of the Main Inn is our recreation room. Guests can enjoy a 60" television screen, dartboard, game table and complimentary wireless printing. All of these communal rooms offer a variety of spaces to curl up with a book or have a quiet conversation.
The Redwood House has three suites, each with unique architecture. There are 24 redwood trees holding up the structure, starting from the conference room and The Fireside Spa in the lower level and rising up through the different rooms to the roof. All three suites have a living room, dining area, kitchen, fireplace, deck, outdoor grill, hot tub or outdoor soaking tub, views of the ocean, TV and Internet service.
Sea Drum is the owners' ocean side vacation home designed by the same architects as the Newport Inn buildings. Many have said that Sea Drum's ocean views are among the best on the coast. The house is a visual delight. Offshore, there are huge rock formations with blow holes and when they are active, they sound like drums, thus the name, Sea Drum.

With an election year around the corner, an outgoing administration focused on legacy building and the fractious dynamics of divided government, 2016 is shaping up to be a year where many major policy debates will most certainly be driven – and in some cases decided – by regulation. There will be winners and losers in this race; with the right expertise, those organizations with a vested interest in the results can seize – and in some cases create – opportunities for shaping them.

Round 1 - Southpaw Ronson working a quick jab. He counters over the top of a Prazeres kick to the body. Prazeres gets inside on the body and tries to drag the fight down. Ronson hits a knee but pops back up. Prazeres stays tied to the body and just muscles Ronson to the floor. Prazeres in side control. He tries to step over to the back, but Ronson crawls up. Prazeres sumps him again with a nice slam to the canvas. Prazeres scoots around to the back. Ronson trying to work to his feet. Prazeres attacks the neck but gets more of a crank than a choke. He lets go, but he's tight on the back. Prazeres goes again for the choke but can't get it. He tries to move over to mount, but Ronson prevents the pass. Prazeres relentless with the attempts, but Ronson survives. Still MMAjunkie.com gives the first to Prazeres, 10-9.
Round 2 - Ronson with an early front kick. Prazeres slips under a punch and takes Ronson quickly to the canvas and again to the back. Ronson scrambles up, but Prazeres drives in for another takedown. Ronson gets his back to the fence and complains to Lavigne that nothing is happening. Prazeres punches him a few times in the face and then stands to get into a front control position. Prazeres threatening a guillotine, but Ronson pulls up and walks away. Ronson tries to get busy on the feet, but Prazeres just pushes in again and drives the action to the floor. Prazeres just outmuscling his opponent right now. Ronson gets to his feet, but he's got no space at all to work. He finally pulls away with a little more than a minute remaining. High kick lands for Ronson. Kick to the body scores. Two punches score, and he defends a takedown. He pushes a second one aside. Ronson showing signs of life, but time winding down here. Round ends, and MMAjunkie.com gives it to Prazeres, 10-9.
Round 3 - Ronson looks lively to start, and he scores with a push kick to the body. A side kick comes in, as well. Ronson scores with a nice lead uppercut. Prazeres tries to shake it out, but he's slowing a touch. Kick to the legs for Ronson. Left to the body. High kick blocked, but he's turning up the pressure. Prazeres shoots in but is stuffed. He does score with a right hand. He catches a kick and counters with a left. Ronson overcommits with an uppercut, and Prazeres slips under it, but he can't get the takedown. Ronson pulls away, and Prazeres stays on his back. Ronson kicks the legs a bit before finally backing away. Quick punches from both on the restart. Ronson getting the better of it, but he's not landing flush. One minute left, and Prazeres finally gets underneath and in on a takedown. He'll be happy to stay here. Ronson turns to his knees and crawls to his feet. He uses the cage to turn in and scores with a powerful slam, rifling punches at the bell. Unfortunately, it's too little, too late, and MMAjunkie.com gives him the final round, 10-9, but awards Prazeres the fight 29-28.
Result: Michel Prazeres def. Jesse Ronson via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)

—In their meta-analysis of the effect of antihypertensive therapies on preventing disease end points, such as stroke, coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, and total and cardiovascular mortality, Dr Psaty and colleagues1 concluded that the data provide strong support for the use of β-blockers and diuretics as first-line agents. However, after a closer look at their data, these conclusions are not supported by the data in the case of β-blockers.When calculating the relative risk associated with β-blocker therapy, the authors used 4 studies: (1) Medical Research Council trial of treatment of mild hypertension (MRC)2; (2) Medical Research Council trial of treatment of hypertension in older adults (MRC-O)3; (3) Swedish Trial in Old Patients With Hypertension (STOP-H)4; and (4) Coope and Warrender.5 By doing so, they glossed over the fact that in STOP-H, two thirds of the patients in the active treatment

After four years of futile talks, Mayor Nutter and union leaders representing the city's nonuniformed workers should meet with a neutral third party to help them reach a deal.
Their stalemate revolves around the ugly truth that the city's pension system will implode if it isn't fixed. It's bad for taxpayers, because pension payments can drain the city's coffers and force reductions in services while undermining the city's ability to borrow money. And it's bad for city workers, many of whom are hoping to retire on already small pension checks, if those checks dry up and they are forced to live out the rest of their years in poverty.

Israel seeks war on Iran to keep lid on 9/11

Israel seeks to wage war on Iran to prevent the dark secrets of 9/11 from coming to light, an analyst says
Sat Sep 22, 2012 By Kevin Barrett
Iran's open commitment to principled anti-Zionism represents the nearly unanimous position of the people of the Middle East, who have never accepted the genocidal Zionist entity as a legitimate state. Israel has been able to bully every other government in the region into shameful silence. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not be silenced. Threats to level Iran with bombs seeks to send a message to future Middle Eastern governments: Do not give a voice to your people's resistance to Zionism, or else!"
He is using all of Zionism's considerable might - including organized crime assets like "Las Vegas Godfather" Sheldon Adelson - to force Obama to attack Iran; or, failing that, to make sure that Obama is defeated by the Zionist puppet Romney. There are even rumors of Israeli-sponsored assassination attempts on Obama.
Even the rabidly pro-Zionist Jewish Daily Forward has editorialized:
"It's difficult to recall a time when an Israeli prime minister has inserted himself into a presidential election campaign in the way that Benjamin Netanyahu has. It's even harder to recall a time when a trusted ally openly urged the American president to undertake a questionable, unpopular and highly risky war. We sure hope Netanyahu knows what he's doing, because the stakes for him - and for the two nations he professes to care about the most - could not be higher."
The Jewish Daily Forward has good reasons to wonder whether Netanyahu knows what he's doing. The editorialist cites polls showing that the American people strongly oppose attacking Iran, even if war breaks out between Iran and Israel and only US intervention could save Israel! These polls show that American voters no longer give a damn whether Israel, which has chosen to live by the sword, finally dies by the sword. As Dave Lindorff observes, Netanyahu's mad obsession with pushing the US into yet another unwanted war for Israel "may have fundamentally undermined the long-standing 'special relationship' between the US and Israel."
And still Netanyahu continues on this seemingly suicidal course. He even orders the Mossad and its CIA assets including Gladio veteran Terry Jones to unleash a rabidly anti-Islam film, spammed into the faces of every Muslim on the planet via millions of dollars of computer server time and intelligence agency expertise - an obvious attempt to fan the flames of Islamophobia and pave the way to a US war on Iran for Israel. Obama, who is on record saying he hates Netanyahu and that Netanyahu is a liar, and who knows that Netanyahu manufactured the "Innocence of Muslims" crisis to try to get Romney elected, responded by refusing to meet with Netanyahu in New York, and going on the David Letterman Show instead. A more blatant snub could hardly be imagined.
So, what in the world is Netanyahu really up to? Does he actually believe that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, even though the CIA has certified that it does not?
Of course, he doesn't really believe such nonsense. Even hard-line Israeli strategists admit that Iran appears to be only developing nuclear expertise, not actual weapons. Furthermore, Iran has not attacked another nation in centuries.
Since the "nuclear crisis" is a hoax (like alleged Iraqi WMD in 2003), then what is the real reason for Netanyahu's Iran obsession? Is it the Iranian government's support for anti-Zionist resistance groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, and its calls for an end to Zionism through free and fair elections?
Perhaps. Iran's open commitment to principled anti-Zionism represents the nearly unanimous position of the people of the Middle East, who have never accepted the genocidal Zionist entity as a legitimate state. Israel has been able to bully every other government in the region into shameful silence. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not be silenced. Threats to level Iran with bombs seeks to send a message to future Middle Eastern governments: Do not give a voice to your people's resistance to Zionism, or else!
But while starting a war might seek to punish Iran for its anti-Zionism, such a war would carry terrible risks for Israel. In the impossible event that all goes well for Israel on the battlefield, the suffering of the people of Iran would probably shame the world into turning against Zionism even more sharply than the world turned against apartheid in the 1980s.
But there is no guarantee that things would go well for Israel on the battlefield. Iran has the capability to riddle Israel with rocket attacks, or even to take out Israel's Dimona nuclear facility and perhaps render Israel and much of the surrounding region permanently uninhabitable. And Israel does not have the capability to seriously damage Iran's nuclear energy program without US help. If the US intervened on the side of Israel, Iran could shut the Straits of Hormuz, and possibly sink many, if not all, of the ships there with Sunburn missiles, driving gasoline prices over USD 10 a gallon and paralyzing the world economy. Additionally, Iran has the capability to massively attack the US bases that surround it, killing thousands, if not tens of thousands, of US soldiers. A US president, especially one who dislikes Netanyahu and puts America's interests ahead of Israel's, would be very unlikely to help Netanyahu attack Iran.
Given that a war on Iran is an all-loss proposition for Israel, why is Netanyahu fanatically fanning the flames of war, to the extent that even his American Zionist cheering section is baffled and embarrassed by his behavior?
Some question Netanyahu's intelligence, arguing that he is just a furniture salesman who has been promoted far beyond his level of competence. While there may be some truth to this - I certainly wouldn't want to overestimate Netanyahu's intelligence - I don't think he's quite that stupid. I think Netanyahu has a very good reason to prefer war with Iran, despite all its risks, to peace. I think he does know what he's doing.
Netanyahu needs the 9/11-triggered 100-years-war on Islam to continue for the very good reason that if it does not, the State of Emergency still in place in the US will be lifted, and Americans, unencumbered by the National Security restrictions of wartime, will quickly learn what really happened on September 11th, 2001. That possibility poses a very real existential threat to Israel - and to Netanyahu.
As Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College, told Press TV: "I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at the Headquarters Marine Corps, and I have made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period. If Americans ever know that Israel did this, they are going to scrub them off the earth." And even if Israel were "scrubbed off the earth" peacefully through a one-state solution, Netanyahu would certainly hang for his role in the 9/11 attacks.
Unfortunately for Netanyahu and Zionism, Dr. Sabrosky isn't the only US National Security insider leaking the truth about 9/11. A very large number of military and intelligence people have come forward.The two biggest recent leaks are revelations by CIA asset Susan Lindauer that the CIA had detailed foreknowledge of 9/11 and attributed the controlled demolitions of the three NYC skyscrapers to "those goddamned Israelis"; and the assertion by Gwenyth Todd, who worked beside Richard Clarke on the National Security Council, that Clarke (who was publicly fired from an earlier job for being an Israeli spy) is the top suspect as hands-on controller of 9/11 from the US end. Yes, you heard that right: Richard Clarke's colleague on the National Security Council, Gwenyth Todd, suspects Clarke of masterminding and running the 9/11 attacks. If Todd and other high-level sources are right about this, Clarke's book title Your Government Failed You is an understatement.
Some of the same high-level sources who point to Richard Clarke as the US boss of the Israeli-instigated 9/11 false flag operation also claim that President Obama, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dempsey, and other powerful Americans are considering exposing the truth about 9/11 during a second Obama term. In other words, Obama's re-election could put Israel out of business, and get Netanyahu hanged from the nearest lamp-post.
No wonder Netanyahu is "overplaying his hand" by doing everything he can to get rid of Obama. And no wonder Netanyahu is desperately trying to throw gasoline on the "clash of civilizations" fire and trigger war with Iran. A huge Middle East war, no matter how destructive, would maintain the wartime State of Emergency in the US and impeded the inexorable revelation of America's biggest state secret: That American traitors, including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, Richard Myers, and others, helped Israel blow up the World Trade Center, bomb the Pentagon, and kill 3000 Americans on 9/11.

WA police community protection register tells parents where pedophiles are lurking
- From: news.com.au
- October 15, 2012
- WA first to launch publicly accessible child sex-offenders register
- Lawyer says site is open to misuse
- Vote: Would you support a sex-offenders register in your state?
WESTERN Australia has become the first state in Australia to launch a publicly accessible child sex-offenders register.
Launched today, the site has already crashed several times.
Called the Community Protection register, it will be run in conjunction with WA Police Sex Crimes department and will notify parents of known pedophiles in their local area.
Here's how it works.
To access any of the information, parents have to hand over their name and driver's licence as ID. They will then be provided with the names of any pedophphiles missing from their area, along with photographs and any distinguishing features like tattoos or scars.
Another section of the website will also be able to tell parents if a person with unsupervised access to their child is an offender. All requests have to be approved by the Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan or an assistant commissioner.
Parents will be prevented from sharing the information online, or through their networks by a watermark, including their name, printed across the images.
New South Wales and Victorian police are said to be considering a similar register, should the WA program prove successful.
Director of child advocacy group Bravehearts, Hetty Johnston, told The Australian today that they supported the register, it could lull parents into a "false sense of security" because sex offenders are likely to be let out of prison and re-offend.
"We say the answer is, simply, do not let dangerous sex offenders out of prison,
"But if they are going to be in the community, a register is better than nothing," she said

Stop worrying about the offenders, and start worrying about the safety of the innocent! The "do gooders" have had their chance and obviously failed! Start thinking about Crime and Punishment instead of Crime and "what can we do to help the criminals"!
not well thought out is it Posted at 5:03 PM October 15, 2012
so hypothetically you get wrongfully accused of a horrible crime your name gets splashed on the internet. You get harassed for the rest of your life. 15 years later they find new evidence and your proven innocent......

Bring it on, it should be a National thing, not just WA. There's no sympathy for them from me.

I need help I'm planning on buying Sony VPL HW50ES my room is upstairs family room 18' long and 13' wide. I have 2 windows in the front 4.5'x3.5' and 3.5'x2.5' carpet is light brown and the walls are like a dark peanut butter color the ceiling is white 8' from the floor. I have no problem repainting, any color but black would not look good with the rest of the house. 110" screen that I would like to purchase I like watching 3d 2d and sports. I was thinking the Carada precision BW also, what would be the throw distance? I'm not sure if I have the right combo. My budget for the both is 5000. Can you help recommending the right projector and screen and color.
Thanks Lionel

Chapter 12 : Sooner or Later
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 10
Background: Font color:
Not to mention that the Hogsmeade trip was that day as well.
But Lilly didn't care about Hogsmeade. All that meant to her were idiotic couples, cooing over each other, and showing their infatuation with each other in public. It disgusted her. That was why she had turned Alex down so quickly.
Or so she told herself. She just kept repeating the same reasons, over and over again in her head, trying to convince herself, what she wanted to convince herself of. It was the way she worked, which was why she never backed down from a battle.
As soon as she set her mind to something… it was set.
Her mind was set to many things, and as she walked down the dark hallway, she began to think of some. One, no dating. Oh, that one was easy! She just told herself that that would require her to dress up and be girly, what she didn't want to be. It bothered her so. Two, no drugs or smoking. That one was easier than one. It kills your lungs and liver. Not to mention is plain disgusting. Three, get the best grades in the class. Three, she didn't mind as much as she used to, before she got on the quidditch team. But she was still working as hard as she did before to maintain appearances of 'bookworm'. Four, hate Wood. …Why did she even set that one up? Lilly thought about this one for a while.
Oh yes, Wood was a big-headed, egotistic brat. But as she repeated that over and over again in her mind, it didn't seem to stick as well as the first three. She thought over this, but before she could get to the root of her problems, she heard someone shouting her na,e
"Lil-ly!" George called down the hallway, skipping down the hallway. Lilly turned around and spotted her friend, smiling at his obvious tendency to do feminine things.
As he jumped before her, then stopping in his tracks, Lilly sang, "Geo-rge!" He smirked, and the two began walking towards their next class. "What are you up to?"
"Nothing. Why do you always think I'm up to something!" George shouted instinctively, then his smile widening, "Nothing of course."
Lilly rolled her eyes. "What are you guys up to?" she repeated, now changing the 'you' to 'guys'. "I know you two are planning something. Four possibly?"
"I'm not telling!' he insisted, the all knowing smile was already on his face.
"Don't give me that look!" she warned, walking faster to catch up with George. He had long legs; she didn't. "Just tell me if it's two or four, pretty please?"
"It's neither…" he whispered secretively. George then spotted his brother, and began to resume skipping as he sang, "Fr-ed!"
Lilly smiled gently at the childish behavior of her friend. There was something going on, there was always something going on. And she was going to get to the bottom of it… Sooner or later.
Angelina looked at the portrait door hastily, beckoning Fred and George to hurry up and get into the common room. "How long do we have?" she asked George.
"…I saw her in the second corridor to the left, and then Fred and I ran here. We got about a minute or so." He reported dutifully.
Fred piped, "She is lounging this time. Quite possibly two."
"Okay…!" Alicia shouted, acknowledging them. She was crouched behind a table, tying a piece of string to the leg. "String in position!"
"This isn't going to work!" Oliver sighed.
"Shut up lover-boy!" Alicia snapped, defending her idea.
Oliver rolled his idea. "What's the plan again?"
"OLIVER!" The four shouted in unison. Angelina took over, speaking quickly, as time was running out. "Lilly will walk in, trip on the string, and you'll catch her like you did at the dinner. Then, you'll bend over, and help her get the books, asking if she's okay and what not." She then turned to George. "She did have books, right?" When he nodded, she sighed in relief.
"I sure do hope this will," Oliver started, "wo-. I think she's coming! Run!"
They all scattered, George and Fred dashing to the tower doors, and Angelina and Alicia to their dorms. Oliver hopped over a couch, and sat down, pretending to browse through a nearby quidditch magazine. He was so distracted, he didn't realize he was holding it upside down, but not like it mattered.
The door swung open, and his heart began to race. "Hel-!" Lilly shouted, expecting a full common room.
Oliver heard a thud. He was too slow to catch her, but he could still get the books. "Are you okay?" He leaped over the couch, and ran as fast as he could towards her. "Here, let me help you!" he said, trying to skid to a stop. His toe stubbed a book, and rather than stopping, he was thrown into a wall.
"Oh gosh! Oliver!" Lilly exclaimed, pushing her glasses from her face, dropping her books once more to survey the accident. "Are you okay?"
Oliver groaned, not only from the pain, but that his plan had backfired. He was supposed to help her when she fell… Not the other way around. "I'm fine." He said solidly, getting up. "I should be asking you that."
Lilly rolled her eyes. "You did," she then smiled and added, "Before you crashed into the wall."
He felt warm, blush creeping up his neck. "Shuddup." He insisted, thrusting his hands in his pocket, looking away.
"Oh… is Olive-poo embarrassed?" Lilly cooed to his discomfort. "Oh, yes he is!"
Oliver looked at Lilly's head, bangs in eyes, glasses hanging off the bridge of her nose. He couldn't help but laugh, she looked so ridiculous, teasing him. Squatting, the two picked up the books, laughing.
"Why are you always falling into things when you are around me?" Lilly asked quietly as she picked up a book. Oliver's hand touched hers, only for a brief moment, before they both moved their hands away, causing her to blush. "Seriously… you are such a klutz!" she exclaimed, to fill the awkward gap of silence.
Wood chuckled. "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" he asked, using a pick up line that was never successful.
She groaned, and pushed him, as he fell down once more, off his feet. "Did that hurt?"
"No, because it was from you!" he replied coolly. She just had to laugh at that. "Are you from Tennessee, because you are the only ten I see!" he added, using another pick up line.
"Oh my gosh Wood! All you do all summer is look at bad pick up lines on the internet or something, isn't it? And you know quite well I've never been to Tennessee in my life."
"Would you like to? I'll let you ride my broomstick." He asked, raising his brow suggestively. She groaned.
As soon as the two finished, Lilly acknowledged gracefully, "Thanks Wood."
"No problem Dillamond." As Lilly began to walk away, Oliver stopped her. "Would you like to--" He paused, and told her to go.
A/N: ...Wow, I really lied when I said 'Update more often!' I haven't updated in nearly five monthes! Yes, I'm a horrible person. I hope you guys don't mind, but summer's rolling around, and I'm graduating in almost a month, so I will have a little bit more time to squeeze in AT LEAST a chapter a month. Love you all, mwah!

A 'Godot' Worth Waiting For
London: Audiences no longer have much difficulty with Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." Nobody now bewails its obscurity. But even though director Sean Mathias's new production at the Theatre Royal Haymarket emphasizes the work's comic, even playful aspects, our abundant laughter does not distract from the tragic seriousness of the overall vision.
Beckett sets the play at a crossroads, the sole feature of which is the tree from whose boughs the two elderly tramps, Estragon and Vladimir, contemplate with relish the prospect of hanging themselves. Designer Stephen Brimson Lewis enlarges on this with a beautiful set of the shell of a theater, showing the back wall, with the tree sprouting from the ruins of the stage, encased within a decrepit proscenium arch of a Beaux Arts playhouse. The idea for the set comes from Beckett's hints throughout the text that the duo, during the 50 years they've known each other intimately, worked together in the music hall.
Great productions of "Godot" are not uncommon, and this hugely anticipated one joins the historic roll of honor if only because of its casting. As Estragon, the smelly-footed one whose boots pinch painfully, Ian McKellen's face crinkles with humor and humanity. Oddly, his Estragon seems younger than Sir Ian's own 70 years, because he exudes resilience; though his despair is believable, it seems to proceed from existential boredom, and not from the nightly beating he endures at the hands of young thugs.
He is matched mightily by Patrick Stewart's Vladimir, whose bladder problems present his companion with repeated comic opportunities. In his role Mr. Stewart looks as though he's capable of extending the tender sympathy he shows Estragon to the whole world -- yet he too manages to make the prospect of a double hanging seem like an invitation to the best party imaginable.
When the play's other two main characters appear, and Estragon and Vladimir have no lines for a long stretch, these two old stagers behave almost as a single organism. They have the perfect timing of veteran comic actors, listening, laughing and accepting the outrageousness of the ringmaster, Pozzo, and his demented slave, Lucky.
Simon Callow is a fine, pear-shaped Pozzo, with careful diction and monstrous selfishness. As Lucky, Ronald Pickup manages brilliantly to keep his undignified silence, to act entirely with his body and his eyes, until it is time for his extended, breath-defying rant, the pent-up memories of the ages expressed in a very long monologue.
To Mr. Mathias's credit, these four memorably moving performances celebrate and illuminate the text of this great work. In the end, despite the complex pessimism of the play, your spirits are lifted by the sheer physicality and control of their performances. Not so much by the cheerfulness that keeps breaking through as by the feeling that misery can be redeemed by art.

Dutch Artifacts From the Time They Took Manhattan
Amsterdam: There is, next to some wonderful 17th-century portraits of native Americans, one eye-catching painting in the exhibition "Return to Manhattan" at the Rijksmuseum: a view of New Amsterdam, painted in watercolor by Johannes Vingboons in 1665. We see a harbor, a windmill, a church and lots of tiny houses with red roofs. The atmosphere is peaceful, with green meadows in a not so far distance. Who could have guessed that this is actually the tip of Manhattan? The English sea captain Henry Hudson discovered this site some 60 years earlier, in 1609.
This exhibition marks the 400th anniversary of his find with a collection of artworks and artifacts, such as the original agreement the Dutch East India Company had with Hudson. Other items include a letter detailing the purchase of Manhattan in 1626 from the island's native Americans in exchange for goods valued at 60 guilders. There is also the original 1667 Treaty of Breda, which ended the second Anglo-Dutch War.

New V&A Gallery Explores the Many Faces of Buddha
London: Have you ever wondered why the smile on the face of the Buddha manages to be serene without being smug? After all, someone who's achieved total enlightenment and complete self-knowledge, and has transcended all desire, is surely allowed a little self-satisfaction. The new Robert H. N. Ho Foundation Buddhist Sculpture Gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum consists of four glorious rooms, arranged so as to be conducive to asking questions of this order.
Though during the life of its founder, Siddhartha Gautama (circa 563 B.C.-483 B.C.), Buddhism was a philosophy suspicious of image-making, within 500 years it had a rich iconography, which traveled from its birthplace in the northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent through much of the world along trade routes. We tend to forget that merchants carried it north to Afghanistan, where Buddhist art bumped into classical Western art, producing the poignant Fourth-century Gandhara head of Buddha in the first room here. Its curly hair and oval face could easily mark a descendant of Alexander the Great.
The doctrines common to all schools of Buddhism stress change: Our desires bind us to the physical world only because we do not understand their transient nature; the only permanent state is transience. On the face of it, this belief is not very compatible with art, and particularly not with sculpture, which produces objects permanently frozen in space as well as in time. Moreover, each of the major schools developed conventions for how the Buddha, and later his disciples, were to be portrayed.
One of the great pleasures of strolling through these rooms is the paradox of seeing how these unchanging canons actually evolved. Wall panels and brief films help you see what to look for in the posture, gaze, eyes, hair, head and hand movements, and signs conveyed by ears, brows, the third eye and the bump of wisdom. The gallery features about 50 pieces dating between 200 A.D. and 1850. The exhibits range from small portable objects to an entire 19th-century Buddhist shrine from Mandalay.

In Munich, Hals and Other Stars From the Golden Age of Dutch Painting
Munich: "Frans Hals and Haarlem's Masters of the Golden Age," at the Kunsthalle der Hypo Kulturstiftung, highlights a time in the 17th century when the Dutch city of Haarlem was undergoing fundamental political, religious and social changes. While the south of Holland was still embroiled in the Eighty Years' War, the northern provinces enjoyed prosperity and autonomy. Artists, who had previously served the church, turned to new subjects after the Reformation and found new patrons in the growing middle class.
The portrait came into its own. This show of more than 130 works contains some stunning examples. The newly self-confident burghers commissioned artists to portray themselves, their families and the organizations they served. None did it better than Frans Hals (1582-1666), whose work vividly catches the nuance and expression of his subjects.
Especially impressive are the large group portraits showing companies of the civic guards or the militia, symbolic of the optimism of the men who established the new Dutch republic. Among the works on display is Hals's "Assembly of the Officers of the Arquebusiers Guild" (1633). The artist takes care to emphasize the weapons and rich clothing indicating the power and wealth. In his later work Hals chose simpler compositions and a more sober palette. This phase culminated in the two masterpieces painted two years before his death showing the Regents and the Regentesses of the Old Men's Alms House (1664).
This comprehensive show also includes still lifes, as well as genre, landscape and architectural paintings, and monumental marine scenes. Hendrick Vroom's "Arrival of Frederick V of the Palatinate and Elizabeth Stuart in Vlissingen" (1623) is a detailed view of the harbor and the ships bearing the arriving dignitaries.

2006 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
Previously I have owned a 7 series, a few acuras, lexus, and cadillac escalade. This vehicle has definitely trumped them all! The massage seats for instance, the heated and cooled seats. The hidden vents, the adjustable seats, the programable keys, the power trunk...should I continue? EVERYTHING on this vehicle is powered. Mileage. Well, it could be better of course, but it is a awd vehicle and a very heavy one at that. If you are driving in snow, there is no better vehicle to protect you and your loved ones. I average about 330- 345 per tank and that is combined driving (mostly city though). I love when people do not even know what it is. They think jetta/passat until they get close!
Cooled seats front and rear, rear climate control. AWD.
Many people complain about an auxillary jack, but for a few bucks, I was able to replace the cd changer with a piece that supports usb, ipod, and aux jack. It took seconds to install.
2006 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 4dr Sedan AWD w/4 Seats (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
This is the finest car I have ever driven. That includes 7 series BMW, and even my Lexus. The fuel economy is surprising, averaging 22 city & highway.
Comfort, quietness of cabin, great fuel economy.
Buttons could be placed better.
2006 Volkswagen Phaeton W12 4dr Sedan AWD (6.0L 12cyl 5A)
This car is the epitome of understated elegance. Since I've previously owned the A8L, 740IL, S430 and 3.5RL but yet the Phaeton has been the most refined and pleasant of them all. I have had fewer gremlins show up and the service experience has been excellent.
4 zone climate control, 4 motion, massage seats, heated and cooled seats and the wonderful W12 engine.
DVD nav system.
I did a lot of research and compared the Phaeton to the Mercedes-Benz CLS- / S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Lexus 430 and Audi A8u, and have to say that the Phaeton won - hands down. What a great car to drive. You combine the fact that it is " hand " built on a Bentley Continental Chassis; and that they used only the finest leather, wood, chrome and talk about features! The car can either be your "Limo" ride or in a quick shift, can become as sporty as any luxury sportscar. It is fun to drive in any of 3 shift modes / 4 suspension settings / 3 ride heights - etc. It provides the most bang for the buck and hey - it's not seen on every corner. It is the epitome of quality and style. If your confidence needs the "Lexus / Benz / BMW label - go and spend more to get less!
This car is beautifully built. Overall quality abounds. I love the auto close doors / double pane glass. It has an incredibly luxurious interior, huge back seat room...and all around, heated / cooled / massage / 18 way adjustment seats, navigation, a rear sun shade, and rear side shades. The Phaeton is private and exclusive!
I can't really think of any!
The Phaeton has the greatest combination of materials, design, assembly precision, and compenent selection of any car I have ever driven. It makes my Mercedes-Benz S-Class look shallow. What a shame there was no advertising.
The ride.
Add a DVD navigation system plus an auxuliary audio input.

Oregon 98
Fooling the college football world all season with his quick-strike offense, Warden Kelly showed us the true potency of the quack attack when he ended the game with an 18-play, 65-yard drive in 9 minutes and 25 seconds. Having survived their scare for the year, UO can realistically begin game-planning for Auburn, Boise St. and TCU while their fans can put together video montages of opponents faking injuries.
Stanford 97
Futilely trying to drill through diamond for most of the night, the TWU finally cracked the ultra-dense material when it mattered most, ending the Sun Devils' modest upset bid. Andrew Luck fans were treated to a show that featured his full arsenal of moves, including a never-before-seen launch while falling to his knees. Stanford has exorcised many demons during the 2010 campaign but none would be sweeter than an axe reclamation party in Berserkeley.
After skinning the cats down in Tucson, Kiffin's Krew find themselves at a respectable 7-3 with two winnable games ahead of them in Neutered Dame and fUcla. Unfortunately, those pesky sanctions will keep them from missing out on the conference's inaugural Alamo Bowl appearance. In a somewhat related note, only at $C could a player be suspended for academic shortcomings from the football team and then walk onto the basketball team. [Ed: And only in the SEC could Jeremiah Masoli be the conference's second most controversial quarterback.]
Arizona 81
The unraveling of Arizona's banner season continued last Saturday night as they fell on the Trojan sword with nary a whimper. Even with two of his starting receivers on the sidelines, Nick Foles managed to get his stroke back and light up $C's stationary wicket secondary, but it was too little too late, as the Mildcat defense was bulldozed by the ground game again. Staggering to stay in prime bowl contention, Stoops' Strays must pull off the impossible and trip up Oregon on their home turf.
At their last game, ASU honored Pat Tillman at halftime, but the season has looked more like a tribute to another notable alum, Phil Mickelson. Mick finally got over the hump though, something this squad can't say after they dropped another heart-crusher, complete with a patented meltdown from one Vontaze Burfict, who admittedly got the Rasheed Wallace treatment from the officials. Needing to win out for any chance at a postseason game, perhaps the demons can find an NCAA loophole to have both FCS wins count.
kal 65
In prime position to muddle the BCS picture and perhaps save J-Ted's job, Giorgio Tavecchio found the weenie within and botched both FG attempts from inside the 30. In any event, playing with half a team makes winning tough, even in the mystical confines of Memorial Stadium. Based on the performance so far of second-string QB Brock Mansion, one has to wonder if the third stringer is legally blind.
The shine may have come off their win against OSU, but Norm and Ricky aren't going to look any victory horse in the mouth these days. With bowl hopes still flickering, El Lay is hoping to fare better this time around on Thursday night and liking their chances as this opponent, UW, is not as daunting as the last.
Showing glimpses of improved play and short bursts of competitiveness, WSU finally put it all together for four quarters and shocked OSU for their first Pac X win in 17 tries. No need to set a time limit on celebrating, as a quirk in scheduling has the Cougs taking two weeks off before trying to extend their winning streak to two whole games, when they host the sled pullers in the notorious Apple Cup.
Washington 58
Trying to type this with a straight face, I must point out that the easiest part of the pups' schedule is now in front of them. Perhaps the return of a rejuvenated Jake Locker will propel them to the three straight wins they need to become bowl eligible, as they jostle for position with the other conference dregs. Will the Husky faithful remember to show up on Thursday instead of Saturday?
Oregon State 57
Usually Mike Riley teams are known for their slow starts and fast finishes, but this incarnation of Beavers have reversed that trend, resulting in a BPR drop of epic proportion. After stumbling against UW and UCLA, it was a scrappy Wazzu squad that played the ham sandwich to OSU's Mama Cass, dropping them convincingly, at home no less. Look on the bright side Corvallis: at least you don't have to worry about being sent to the Sun Bowl anymore.

My daughter is 2 months old, a pink TET baby, with her sat levels at 98% as of last week (yea!). Surgery is not expected for a few more months yet. She does not have any additional complications - pretty basic TOF case.
My question for all you other TOF parents out there is - what are you experiencing with your child in terms of feeding and sleeping? Even as well as my daughter is doing, I still feel like she eats a lot less than a non-TOF baby her age -- maybe 2-3oz each time and has to feed a lot more frequently. Her inability to get a "full" feeding, I think, impacts her ability to nap well and sleep longer at night (right now she's sleeping 9pm-2am, then up at 4am, and every hour after that until she's up for the day at 7am).
Since I am also a first time mom, I don't know how much of her feeding/sleeping patterns to attribute to TOF versus me not setting enough of a "schedule" for her.
If any of you could weigh in, it would help me sort through what is just normal newborn behavior versus the impact of the TOF.

Introduction to User Stories
Agility is often described in terms of iterative development. In fact, it's more of an iterative analysis process with the code being written and tested immediately after the requirements are discovered. The heart of this process is the user Story, a collection of requirement descriptions, value statements, cost estimates, architecture designs, and test cases-all rolled into one. While at first glance user Stories seem simple, they play a key role in all agile methods. What makes a good one? How do you write it? How do you make them the right size? Alan Shalloway answers all of these questions and more in this thought-provoking class. Unfortunately, it is not enough just to create a collection of stories. We need a way to organize them and to plan for their release. Alan concludes by discussing these important organizational issues.

Renaissance Theaterworks brings back older, wiser 'Skin Tight'
Director Laura Gordon admits in her program notes for "Skin Tight" that she'd initially had "very mixed feelings" about Renaissance Theaterworks' decision to bring it back — not quite 10 years after she made her professional directorial debut with the same play.
I felt the same way. I cherish my memories of Renaissance's 2004 production of Gary Henderson's gorgeous, hourlong memory play, in which actors Braden Moran and Leah Dutchin gave us the moving story of long-married New Zealanders Tom and Elizabeth. I didn't want a new production messing with those images — or, worse, cheapening them. »Read Full Article
