'Dexter' Recap: 'A Horse of a Different Color' (6.04)
If last week's Dexter was more of a standalone episode, this week's throws us right back into the season-long arc, inducing squirms and gasps in equal measure.
Dexter's decided to go to the baptism Brother Sam invited him to after all, even though the idea of religious faith goes right over his head. It's too bad that they don't have time to have a discussion, because it might've come in handy when Dex is called out to deal with the "wicked rodeo" we saw at the end of last week's episode. New guy Mike (Billy Brown) quickly points out to the Metro team that it has something to do with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. You can practically see the lightbulb clicking on.
Mike's theory starts to slot things into place for our heroes, who set off looking for the now-named "Doomsday Killer." Deb questions how successful she'll be at catching anyone when she's being told to give a press conference and finish her post-shooting therapy. The press conference doesn't go all that well, particularly with LaGuerta still meddling, but Matthews doesn't seem bothered, so it's no harm, no foul. Of course, he might not be so supportive once the shine wears off.
Harrison suffers a ruptured appendix, needing immediate surgery and understandably startling Dexter. Though the little guy pulls through just fine, the situation causes Dexter to reconsider whether or not he believes in a higher power, particularly when Sam shows up to support him and we learn more about Sam's background. Mos Def has done a really great job so far this season; we want to be suspicious of Sam but there's something in his nature that also makes us want to trust him. He may turn out to be Dexter's biggest ally this season, and I can't say that I'd have a problem with that.
Travis (Colin Hanks) gets a date this week, and it's incredibly unsettling to see Gellar (Edward James Olmos) watching him bed her. It's one of those moments where while I understand why it exists, it's something I would have preferred not to see. I'm convinced this season of Dexter may ruin many of my good memories of Battlestar Galactica.
In the comic relief department, Masuka finds out that pretty blonde intern Ryan has been busy swiping evidence and putting it up for online auction, so he fires her. Meanwhile, upon discovering a joint in Batista's new Trans Am, he and Quinn spend part of the episode high. I have a feeling that was supposed to be funnier than I actually found it.
Yet Dexter, while it has its funny moments, isn't really funny like some drama series can be (such as Justified). It makes its bones on startling the audience, which it does in its final moments as we find out the waitress who slept with Travis has been strung up in a greenhouse. When one of the uniformed officers trips a wire, the poor girl's jugular gets punctured as she's spread out to look like an angel in a swarm of locusts. It's truly squirm-inducing, and we're even left with something to think on as in the resulting chaos, Dex gets his first look at Travis.
There's still a lot of work to be done, as we're only about a third of the way through season six of Dexter. Yet we're getting to that point where all the disparate pieces are coming together. In terms of how uncomfortable the show is to watch, season six might rival season four at this rate - but I'm not so sure that it's going to end up being as great as season four, or even season five. My stomach is turning but I'm not necessarily scared of Travis and Gellar the way I was of the Trinity Killer or Jordan Chase. We'll have to see how the arc develops to rate where they fall on the scale of Big Bads.
While I like the character development we're getting for Deb this season, I also hope it's not all the development we get. LaGuerta is pretty much one-note right now, not that she's missed much. I'm really not sure what the writers have in store for Quinn, who's spent the last two episodes reverting to the immaturity he showed when he was introduced. As I've said previously, I'm a fan of the character and even moreso of Desmond Harrington, so I hope that season six doesn't undo the progress he made in season five - and even if he never reunites with Deb, that's no reason he can't find some sort of growth on his own. Unfortunately, I'm sure that it's going to get worse before it gets better.
There's only one way to find out. Now that Dexter and company are pointed in the right direction, we should really see some sparks fly and some twists develop. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go, because when Dexter is great - and it often is - there's nothing else like it on television.

Paper or plastic? If it is paper do you need handles? Do you bring your own bag? How often do you forget it?
Paper or reusable majority of the time but I sometimes take plastic if I forget since we have a pooch.ReplyCancel
In San Francisco, there's a ban on plastic bags w/r/t to grocery stores. The city recently introduced a 10-cent per paper bag charge, which wouldn't bother me except that extra charge goes to the store, not to any recycling program (or even the city's general fund). In any event, I've been using reusable canvas bags for last couple years for groceries.
When I get paper bags, I reuse them as receptacles for recyclables.ReplyCancel
Plastic as you need the handles when you're walking to the store and back to carry, plus then we re-use it for the kitchen garbage can under the sink!Some stores charge us for plastic bags here though so we're careful to only go to the ones that don't as we refuse to pay for bags!ReplyCancel
Plastic because I use them to clean up after my dog. I always forget the canvas bags I bought.ReplyCancel
Plastic ban here in Portland. Even the dollar store uses paper now! But I have a zillion reusable Trader Joes and Fred Meyer bags .. Many of times I forget so I have to by a new one ( or three ) hence the zillion bags. Someday I'll remember to store them in the car trunk.ReplyCancel
Reusable bags every time.ReplyCancel
I'm like Laura, here in Austin the bag ban is in effect. I take my own to regular grocery store but get the paper ones with handles at whole foods, they make great trash bags when cooking because I can sit them on the floor right under my feet and they stand up. I am weary of meat going in my reusable bags have to figure something out.ReplyCancel
I live in Portland, home of bag shaming. :b
I have a gazillion bags in my trunk and carry my favorite straw shopping tote everywhere. One the rare occasions I do forget, it's always paper bags b/c I can upend the shredder into them and put them in the recycling bin. The waste company doesn't allow plastic bags in the recycling and my anxiety beagle NEVER poops on walks, so plastic bags don't get used much around here.ReplyCancel
I have reusable bags but get plastic in certain places. Some stores like Target even have a can where you can recycle unwanted plastic bags and I bring them back.ReplyCancel
Plastic, but I don't drive. Paper would break by the time I could carry it home.ReplyCancel
I always use my own re-usable bags. We've had charges for plastic bags for years now and I refuse to pay for them.ReplyCancel
Ha on bag shaming!!!
I am the queen of my local Publix with my totes(12) which fold and zip into their own case for storage in the car. They are color coded, used in the basket, and the trick is to have an extra one for the bagger to start with. Several customers took phone pix of my system. Great idea for a small business:)
For plastic, google how to plarn.ReplyCancel
I try to bring my big tote but if i don't plastic and double bagged. Need the handles to cross the streets with two toddlers. Not only do i need to keep the babies from running into traffic but crawling around when your bag snaps to look for your stuff gets you banned from the bus. I swear I was not groping that homeless man, my vitamins fell near his feet!ReplyCancel
I live in Portland too. I have probably 15 reusable bags of varying sizes. I am pretty good about remembering my bags and making sure I have some in the car at all times. I'm crazy green though so its been many years, in the beginning I always forgot them in the house after emptying… Also: quicktip! Remember to wash your reusable bagsregularlly! They are full of bacteria!:)ReplyCancel
@Agent- I want to see a pic of your system! I'm totally type A like that, too.
Your last word looked like "plam" on my laptop so I googled "plam." o_O I could not figure out what that had to do with plastic bags. (Warning: first Google listing is an urban dictionary entry.)ReplyCancel
Skewer toward reusable. That is, the ones that the cats haven't shredded yet.ReplyCancel
When I shop at Aldi, I don't use any bags. I just throw everything in the trunk. No big deal.
If I'm shopping at Meijer, I get plastic because their paper bags are so thin and worthless. I reuse them for bathroom trashcan liners, and cat/dog poop. My husband packs his lunch in them, too. We get a good amount of use out of them.
Even though I think it's a good thing, I'm still feeling some growing pains because I'm not used to the ban yet.
But what's more irritating than my inability to keep reusable bags in my car is that our legislature thinks that trying to get rid of Austin's bag ban is a good use of their time. Because spending time on that issue is way more important than education or the budget. SMHReplyCancel
@Agent I do the same. Black for meat products, green for veg and fruit, blue for frozen and red for miscellaneous items.
It is easy once you know how.
plastic, and I use them for picking up my dog's poop on my walks, and for disposing dirty diapers.ReplyCancel
In San Francisco, we banned plastic bags and charge 10 cents for paper. I usually end up buying a paper bag, because I don't travel with a burlap bag. My GF is really good at remembering to bring a reusable bag. Plastic bags really are a third world scurge we don't need in the USA in the 21st century.ReplyCancel
@portlandjewel- thanks for the tip! I rarely wash my bags but I'm throwin them in heavy laundry rotation now! 🙂
@gayeld lol @ dealers choice – I use that phrase all the time when I bartend – someone orders a whiskey and I ask " well gut rot, top shelf 12 year aged or is it just dealers choice today? "
I have carried my own bags to stores for years. The only place I don't is clothes shopping.ReplyCancel
@Alicia. LOL! How many take you up on it? One of my college roommates was a cocktail waitress and it used to amaze us how stupid guys could get depending on what she wore to work that day (we also tracked outfits to calculate what earned her the best tips. Skin=Good. Too much skin=Bad.)ReplyCancel
@Izzie, hahahaha sounds like something Amanda Bynes might be into.ReplyCancel
Plastic, perfect for dumping kitty litter.ReplyCancel
Don't take the bags at all anymore, just put the groceries in my basket and then transfer them to the car. I do it so much, it's becoming a running joke at Target with this one guy who usually checks me out. Every time he sees me, he always says "no bags!" before I say it.
I too use the current bags I have for trash can liners.ReplyCancel
LLBean Boat & Tote canvas bags with the zipper tops. I have at least 4 different sizes and they last forever. They also fit perfectly into those baskets on the back of my bike. I also have a few raggedy reusables on standby at work and a really crusty one in my laptop bag. Yeah, those things need to be washed or replaced. Nasty.ReplyCancel
in australia, they haven't banned the plastic bag yet – which is good because i use them for the rubbish bin.
but a lot of people use the ubitiquious green bag – it can be other colours. they are hilarious and everywhere, including all over the place as rubbish, just like plastic bags. junkies use them as handbags. not just for shopping anymore, kansas.
i have a deluxe granny trolley which also fits a case of beer. my boyfriend refuses to use that thoughReplyCancel
@Agent**It You're on!ReplyCancel
Reusable bags, but I'll get plastic once in a while because I reuse them for my garbage.ReplyCancel
Astrogirl – same in NewtownReplyCancel
100% agree! I grew up in a small town with a paper mill. I remember when they started switching from paper to plastic. We always had to say paper!!!! Now look what they've done. Should have left it alone.ReplyCancel
I must have 20 reusable Publix canvas bags because I forgot the ones I had already bought for a couple of big weekly shopping trips. You can pack so much more into just a few of those bags than you can in plastic bags. And I only take one trip from the car to the house with groceries – it's much harder to carry 10 plastic bags vs 3 – 4 canvas bags at one time 🙂
That being said, for a trip for just a few items, I get plastic – I use them for scooping cat litter and as liners for my small garbage cans.
Reusable. Almost always. I made a vow to myself that if I forgot my bags I had to carry my stuff out individually with no bags. Do that a few times and you stop forgetting. I'm more lax now that I have the babies. We reuse the plastic bags to collect the pulp from the juicer (easy clean up) and the bathroom trash bagsReplyCancel
I use my Eco Bag when I remember it and try to do paper otherwise.ReplyCancel
Plastic, and I could never live anywhere where there's a plastic bag ban. First off, I use plastic bags for my trash so I can fill one up per day and dump each bag (tied up, natch) into the outdoor trash bin at the end of the day. That way the trash doesn't stink up my kitchen like how it used to when I used to buy trash bags. Secondly, I find plastic bags a whole lot easier to deal with than any other kind. I tried using reusable cloth bags exactly once, and when I found that the baggers always stuffed those bags until they couldn't hold anything else and realized I could barely even hold onto one bag because of it (I have chronic nerve pain issues on my arms), that was the last time I ever attempted that. BTW, I don't use all the plastic bags I get; I find that I usually stick with Walmart's or Walgreens' bags for my trash because they're sturdy enough, and every other bag I deposit into the recycling bin (except if it's been used to carry milk, which I just throw away). And thankfully my municipality is one that uses an advanced enough recycling program to where they CAN and DO recycle plastic bags.ReplyCancel

Sixty-nine documented cases of placenta previa were managed at The Mount Sinai Medical Center during a five-year period. Vaginal delivery was attempted in six instances of partial placenta previa and was successful in five (83%). For these six cases, intrapartum bleeding was not excessive, blood transfusions were not necessary during or after labor, and all Apgar scores were greater than or equal to 7 at one and five minutes. Anemia in a neonate delivered at 32 weeks of gestation was the only neonatal complication that may have been due to intrapartum fetal hemorrhage. This series suggests that routine cesarean section is not necessary for all cases of partial placenta previa. A protocol is proposed for the intrapartum management of suspected placenta previa at term. Further clinical studies are necessary to evaluate the safety and clinical use of this mode of management.

Electoral Area D - Official Community Plan Review
Bylaw 2603, 2013, East Skaha, Vaseux Official Community Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 6, 2014.
Electoral Area D-2, East Skaha Vaseux Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2603,2013
The history of the Bylaw adoption process is as follows:
1st & 2nd Reading
At its meeting of July 4, 2013, the Regional District Board approved first and second reading of the Draft Electoral Area 'D-2" Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2603, 2013. The Bylaw was amended and re-read on August 1, 2013.
Public Hearing
In accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing to consider the Electoral Area 'D-2' Official Community Plan Bylaw 2603, 2013 was held on August 12, 2013. The public hearing was held at the OK Falls Community Centre.
3rd Reading
At its meeting of September 5, 2013, the Regional District Board considered the minutes of the Public Hearing held on Aug. 12, 2013 and approved third reading of the Draft Electoral Area 'D-2" Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2603, 2013.
The Bylaw was approved by the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development on February 12, 2014.
At its meeting of March 6, 2014, the Regional District Board adopted Electoral Area 'D-2" Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2603, 2013.
Electoral Area D-2, East Skaha Vaseux Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2603,2013
Thank you to everyone who has participated in the process! Your input has been valuable to shape the objectives and policies that are not part of the new Official Community Plan.
The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) has initiated the review and update of the East Skaha, Vasseux Official Community Plan (OCP) for Electoral Area 'D-2'. The plan process will be conducted in accordance with the Local Government Act which specifies purpose, required content, and adoption procedures of the OCPs.
The current OCP was originally adopted in 1996 and since then there have been a number of changes to the plan, to Provincial legislation and to the development of a Regional Growth Strategy all of which need to be reflected with the OCP. In 2008, the OCP bylaw was reformatted and updated but without any substantive changes to the original OCP.
One of the desired outcomes of this Plan process is an OCP document that is accepted by the community, adopted by the Board, and will have a positive social, economic, and environmental impact on how the area grows and changes over time.
What is an Official Community Plan?
An Official Community Plan (OCP) is the vision a community has for its future. It contains goals and policies that will shape future land use in a way that reflects the community's vision. These goals and policies form a framework used by the Regional District staff, other agencies and the community to guide their decisions about future land use.
Under the Local Government Act, an OCP must include certain information, such as:
- Residential development;
- Commercial, industrial, and industrial land uses;
- Land subject to hazardous conditions or environmentally sensitve to development;
- Major road, sewer and water systems;
- Housing policies related to affordable housing, rental housing, and special needs housing;
- Public facilities, including schools, parks, and waste treatment and disposal sites; and
- Greenhouse gas emission policies, targets, and actions.
Beyond this, an OCP may also consider other community priorities be it heritage protection, food security, water quality, economic development or transporation and mobility.
Area D-2 Citizen's Committee
Residents from the Area D-2 community were appointed to a Citizen's Committee. This Committee represented the community and assisted with defining objectives and policies of the draft OCP.

Background Report - January 2012
Phase One of the OCP Review process began in the Fall of 2011 is now complete. The purpose of the Background Report is to provide background information, including existing conditions, issues, trends and priorities in Area d-2, in order to update the OCP. The background report also includes a summary of the public consultation that took place for Phase One (Open Houses, online survey, and teh 'pizza night' workbooks). The report and information contained in it will provide guidance and direction for Phase Two fo the OCP update.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! You're Only A Day Away!
After an agonising five-month wait, the 2007 MotoGP season starts tomorrow! If you're in the UK and you have a telly, it all cranks up at 11.30AM on BBC2. Seriously folks. The last season was the most wild and thrilling spectacle I'd ever witnessed. More exciting than say, being trapped naked in a tub of Nutella with Ed O'Brien from Radiohead. And 2007 is set to be a cracker, with Valentino Rossi on pole and looking to claw back the title he lost last year. To make things interesting, everyone is on new 800cc bikes that look to be even speedier than the old fellas. My grandmother used to be a hardcore rugby league fan; nothing would come between her and the Parramatta Eels. We showed up for a visit one Mother's Day and she made us all sit quietly in the kitchen and completely ignored us until half time. It's only now that I can understand her priorities. I've entered all the MotoGP dates into my diary and all social engagements, holidays and haircuts between now and November shall be arranged around the race calendar. So. If you have just 45 minutes to spare every couple of weeks, I urge you to give the two-wheeled soap opera a chance. There's plenty of characters and crashes and OVERTAKING, unlike those Formula 1 ponces. There's bimbo brolly girls and midget men in leather suits with horrible designs. Just give it a go, is all I'm saying. Somebody, share my joy!

Vision Ships Update for MIMIX for AIX
Published: July 26, 2007
by Alex Woodie
System i high availability software specialist Vision Solutions this week announced MIMIX for AIX version 3.0, a new version of the company's high availability offering for AIX running on System p and System i servers.
MIMIX for AIX is a collection of products designed to provide failover protection for critical applications running on AIX-equipped RISC servers from IBM and other hardware vendors. The software includes two main products, including MIMIX EchoStream, which provides continuous data protection (CDP) capabilities, and MIMIX HA Cluster, which provides high availability and clustering capabilities. The software was obtained by Vision as part of its acquisistion of Lakeview Technology one month ago. Lakeview, in turn, acquired it from a company called H.A. Technical Solutions about three and a half years ago.
With MIMIX for AIX version 3.0, Vision has delivered several new features, including adding support for failovers performed between systems geographically distant from one another; a new graphical interface that provides better integration between the replication and clustering/failover components of the product; and enhancements to the product's notification and logging features that will make it easier to troubleshoot problems.
Alan Arnold, chief technology officer and executive vice president of Vision, says MIMIX for AIX works to keep servers available for businesses. "This latest release represents several MIMIX high availability innovations that provide maximum protection against data loss while integrating easily into AIX environments," he says.

A 5-paragraph essay is a basic type of essay writing and most likely the first type of essay that you learned to write in school.

Two Los Banos real estate brokerages have been bought out by a Bay Area company.
San Ramon-based Prudential California Realty Pearson Properties announced Tuesday that it purchased Prudential California Realty, formerly owned by Charlene Sloan, and Re/Max Central Valley Realty, which was led by Tammie Miller.
Gretchen Pearson, president of Prudential California Realty Pearson Properties, said she plans to increase service in Merced County and be part of what she believes will be a comeback for the housing market.
"The Merced County real estate market has had a lot of hard knocks and, as a result, has created a very loose service environment. We plan to go into the market and give full service to all clients, not just some," Pearson said. "Another reason we liked this market was that we are bullish on a comeback, as are many corporations, evident in the increase in commercial real estate development happening now. The other positive trends we see are in the investor market, which is very active, and that the area is becoming more and more a commute path for people working in the South Bay."
The addition of the two brokerages brings the total number of offices in the company's Northern California network to 20. The merger marks the 13th acquisition Prudential California Realty has made in two years.
The Prudential California Realty office was owned and operated by Sloan for nearly 30 years. She will continue as a real estate agent for the company.
"We're pleased to be keeping the strong Prudential California Realty brand and are happy it is under the guidance of Gretchen Pearson, whom I've known personally for years as a strong leader and innovator in the industry," Sloan said.
As owner of Re/Max Central Valley Realty, Miller worked with her team to close nearly 100 transactions in 2011.
"Merging with Prudential California Realty offers my team and our agents an opportunity to provide an increased level of professionalism utilizing the company's tools to market our listings, and expands our access to services and training that were previously unavailable to us," Miller said.
The acquisition allows Prudential California Realty to have more than 20 agents serving Merced County.

"Obama is going to be campaigning exclusively to the people who are being pulled in the cart: The people that aren't paying income tax, the people that are on the federal dole. He has made the calculation that that's where he wins."
"It's clear to me that the Democrat Party has now made the determination that of the people that vote in this country, a clear majority of them don't work. A clear majority of them don't want to work. A clear majority of them live and breathe on this class envy stuff, and are gonna vote for somebody who's gonna make sure their contraception pills keep coming; their welfare checks keep coming, their disability checks keep coming, their unemployment checks keep coming. Food stamps, you name it. That's his group."
"I get a tsunami of opinion every day from people I know, and from just reading the news and so forth. It's a tsunami, and if I didn't have a strong backbone (and my own convictions), I would be a piece of spaghetti here every day just bending and moving and shaping to all this other opinion that floats in."
"If there's a political organization that hates the church and its values, dislikes the church and its values, it's the Democrat Party. It's Barack Hussein Obama."
"You notice that as far as Obama's concerned the religious right care only about abortion, gay marriage, school prayer, intelligent design. Isn't that what they call projection? Isn't that all the church of liberalism is concerned about? They're haunted by these things.
All of those things that Obama mentioned, the left hates."
"The real enemy of the American family, the real enemy of American minorities, the real enemy of the institutions and traditions which have defined this nation and its greatness is the Democrat Party and whoever leads it."
"We're supposed to believe stock prices are rising on growing expectations Obama will be elected this November. What an absolute crock. No, it can't have anything to do with the turmoil in the financial markets in Europe. It can't have anything to do with the fact that that's a black hole to invest in. Investors are losing half of their holdings thanks to the various bailout deals. No. Can't have anything to do with that."
"I know the Democrats work closely with the media to get these propaganda stories out, there's no denying this. At some point, though, they want to live in this world of total perception, not reality. And they've pulled it off in the area of social issues."
"I live in Realville, and when I'm confronted with people who believe something that's total BS, I want to try to persuade them that they're wrong. Or better yet, set up circumstances where they will end up persuading themselves. Because you never will persuade people by getting in their face and shouting at them or pointing a finger at them or making fun of 'em, impugning, laughing at them, what have you."
"Well, I guess now we know why Bill Clinton went to Georgetown and why Hillary went to Wellesley. Well, all the sex going on at Georgetown. Susan Fluke. So much sex going on, they can't afford birth control pills. She said that to Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Pelosi probably said, 'Have you heard what Botox costs? I can relate!'"
"I believe that an informed voting electorate is the absolute best way to affect long-term, positive, deep-rooted change in the country."
"I know the Democrats work closely with the media to get these propaganda stories out, there's no denying this. At some point, though, they want to live in this world of total perception, not reality. And they've pulled it off in the area of social issues."
"Your daughter goes up to a congressional hearing conducted by the Botox-filled Nancy Pelosi, and testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills and she agrees that Obama should provide them, or the Pope. How proud her parents must be."

Even though every single nation feels as though they have a chance to win the gold medal at the Sochi Olympics in hockey, most experts believe it will come down to the top three. Russia, Canada and The United States all have the depth and star power to make a deep run in the beginning of February. Most of their players will be taking a break from their fantasy hockey production in the NHL to represent their country. So how do the top three squads stack up against each other?
Host Russia had a disappointing 2010 Olympics in Canada. They will be hoping to reverse their fortunes now that they are getting the play on their home soil. They have perhaps the best individual talent in the world in Alex Ovechkin, but they also have some key players at other positions as well. If they can put up quite a few goals to give their defense a cushion, the home team could pull off the victory.
Defending champion Canada figures to be a very formidable opponent for any team that goes up against them. Not only do they have some of the best fantasy hockey players in the NHL, but they have plenty of depth as well. When you have all starts coming off your bench, you know that your team is deep overall. Just like Russia, they are also stacked with forwards who should be able to score quite often. Their defense is a little stronger, as Roberto Luongo will be asked to man the net in most of the important games.
Finally, the United States put up a valiant effort in 2010 only to come up short against Canada. They are considered to be the 3rd best team coming into the Olympics, but when playing well they can compete with anyone. Their goalie situation is a little bit up in air right now, but it appears as though Ryan Miller and Jonathan Quick will share the duties. They will also need some big play from their best goal scorer Patrick Kane.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
According to Cryptic, one million heroes have been created in super-heroic MMO Champions Online.
"We are very pleased with the wonderful praise Champions Online is receiving," said Jim Wilson, CEO, Atari, Inc. "We credit the great MMO fan base and look forward to seeing what players create as the game continues to grow and develop." Reports that over 250,000 of the million heroes created were named some variation of "Dong-Man" are not true because I made them up.
But seriously, if there are one million heroes in a place, how are there any heroes? Usually, you think of a "hero" as the one person who can save the princess/win the war, collect the treasures, etc. Cryptic has taken pains to make individual players' game experience epic and heroic with their unique Nemesis system, but I gotta figure that when you're walking down main street surrounded by hundreds of dudes in tights who can fly and/or smash buildings apart with their fists, you don't feel like the main-character in the story, know what I mean?
Have you played Champions? What do you think?

i hope you all had a fabulous weekend! and that your Cinco de Mayo hangovers are cured. today i wanted to share a little bit about us... to you! i have compiled a list of Q&A's that I have been asked by friends and followers... such as, "who takes your photo's?", "what's your favorite flea market?", or "how long have you guys been together?". i also threw in a few fun facts that i thought you might want to know! so here is a little more detail about Me & The Fireman!
ok... here we go!
Me: I love knitting in the car on road trips.
I'm a Vegetarian... actually a Pescatarian {I eat fish}.
I spelt my middle name wrong for the first 12 years of my life... It's Mae, not May.
I played Volleyball in college.
When I was little I wanted to be a professional figure skater.
The Fireman: He definitely is not a Vegetarian.
He surfs, paddle boards, snowboards, and likes sports that involve a board.
He has a very contagious laugh.
He eats a Rib-Eye steak almost every night.
He was on the cover of the last Southbay Mag! (he's the guy on the left.)
A {little} HISTORY:
Where we're you two born & raised?
Me: Redondo Beach, CA
The Fireman: Hermosa Beach, CA & Ventura, CA
How long have you guys been together?
The Fireman: Meat... & Farm-to-Table.
What is Farm-to-Table?
It's local fresh food that is now being prepared in local hot spots... like GJelina & Tin Roof! YUM.
Where are your favorite places to eat in LA?
Oh, that's tough. I'll have to turn this into a blog post too. Stay tuned.
-AeroTan by Big Sexy Hair. This is the best spray-tan-in-a-bottle if you need a last minute (natural-looking) tan. I use this on my legs if I want to a skirt or dress when i'm a little to pale. This stuff works.
-Mini Hand Steamer from Bed, Bath & Beyond. It's the best little steamer in the world! I use it at home only, when I need to only steam one or two things quickly. And this steamer has some major power... I'd say just as much (if not more) them my big industrial steamer. It's the real deal.
well i hope this isn't TMI and you all enjoyed getting to know us a bit better!
xo, Vanessa (the fashion gal)

More About:
Consolidating and Streamlining Programs
By eliminating duplicative programs, funds are concentrated in the areas in which they will have the greatest impact, reducing the deficit while strengthening top priorities. The Senate Farm Bill eliminates over 100 programs and authorizations under the Agriculture Committee's jurisdiction. For example:
- The bill consolidates 23 existing conservation programs into 13 programs while maintaining existing tools to protect and conserve land, water and wildlife.
- Streamlining programs provides added flexibility and focuses conservation around four primary functions: working lands conservation, the Conservation Reserve Program, regional partnerships and easements to help prevent sprawl and protect wetlands.
- These reforms save money while still increasing resources for top priorities.
- Because we are truly doing more with less, changes to conservation policies are supported by nearly 650 conservation organizations from all 50 states.

But I couldn't leave you with no crafts for a whole week. Some of you had asked for tutorials for the onesie crafts. Know that hardly anything I've made is a completely original idea. I don't use a ton of tutorials {except the cloth baby shoe one, it rocks} But usually after I've made something {I think is original} I'll browse around the web and almost always find something just like it {or better} and often with a tutorial. So here are some of my favorite baby tutorials. I may add more as they come back to me. But this should keep you busy for a while.

Pastor, music minister mark long tenure togethercomment (0)
May 28, 2009
By Emily Flack
Welcome home — that's the motto of Providence Baptist Church, Opelika. But it's not just a catchy phrase, they say — "it is how we want you to feel when you visit Providence Baptist Church."
With a motto like that, who wouldn't want to come — again and again and again?
The catchy phrase and equally catchy atmosphere definitely did the trick for Pastor Rusty Sowell and Music Minister Thomas R. Smith.
On April 26, the Tuskegee Lee Association church held a double anniversary celebration for Sowell (25 years) and Smith (35 years) who during their extensive ministry have provided dedicated service to the church.
Of course things have changed over the years, Smith said. A few people have come and gone and the makeup of the church is slightly different. But for the most part, Providence Baptist has had a stable core of people who have been consistent the entire time, he said — it's family there.
"The philosophy of ministry and the areas of worship and outreach of our church have maintained consistency throughout the years," Smith said. "We try to maintain a good quality to do our best and provide something that ministers to everyone."
Smith and Sowell, who both grew up in church, say they found a good fit with each other and have worked well side by side for 25 years.
"We understand involvement. Both of our dads are deacons; both of us have a strong family support system, a love for church and a love for God," Sowell said.
Coming into Smith's established ministry could have caused difficulty, but Smith said it brought the two closer. "It was interesting, because there had to be a sense of give and take since I knew the people and the area, but I wanted to let him lead as the pastor should," Smith said. "As a result, we work together very closely. I really respect him as my pastor and my friend."
Sowell agrees that the relationship has worked well. "It's a blessing from God," he said. "Tom and I have never had a cross word."
And the music Smith chooses is an affirmation of what God is saying to both of the men, Sowell said.
Wayne Poe, an active deacon at Providence Baptist, has been there for 51 years and has witnessed a lot of mileage covered over the course of his time at the church.
"Dr. Sowell is not just a leader, he is a part of the family," Poe said — so much so, he explained, that "in the past, when a pastor would come to your house you'd spend a week cleaning, but when family comes to your house you just kick the dog out of the chair and tell him to sit down."
Sowell is that kind of family, Poe said. He is always there — through the bad times and the good times, through deaths and births.
And Smith is too, according to Lelia Gilmer.
Gilmer was in the youth choir when Smith came to Providence.
"I'm now 47 and in the adult choir," she said. "I am honored to sing under him. Dr. Tom gives the same amount of enthusiasm for 10 people as if it were 10,000."
Building such long-term relationships has been a blessing for Smith, who says that the children of those who were once in the youth choir are now singing with their parents in the adult choir.
It's a community of believers that's grown strong over time and, according to Poe, is growing every day.
"Our community is growing and hopefully our church is a place where people are welcomed into the family," he said. "It is the church family's responsibility to choose leaders through prayer. We feel like God's hand was in their coming (Sowell and Smith) and still is."

ASIA's 'Heat Of The Moment' With New Album 'Gravitas'
British progressive 80s rock supergroup, ASIA is back with a brand new album, "Gravitas" (Frontiers Records) (derived from the Latin meaning 'dignity.') It's currently available in four formats as a CD, the deluxe edition with the CD/DVD containing the music video for their track, 'Valkyrie' a CD with a bonus track and a special edition Japanese import.
Their last album, "XXX" was released last year.
Asia has announced U.S. fall tour dates in support of their new album with more dates expected to be announced soon! Their current lineup features John Wetton, (bass, vocals), Carl Palmer (drums), Geoff Downes, (keyboards), and Sam Coulson, (guitars).
I had the pleasure of speaking to Asia's lead vocalist and rock legend formerly of the band, UK and King Crimson, John Wetton by phone from his home in London on all things ASIA is planning for 2014!
"The new album is being very well received and we're amazed because sometimes there's a little bit of prejudice that
comes with the reviews but the public and the critics have embraced the album so I'm very pleased," declares Wetton in a telephone interview. He adds, "We're also getting very positive results on the charts." These days we don't have singles we have tracks and "Valkyrie" has been played from the record. I don't see us having charted albums like we did 30 years ago but as far as us being an organic band and a touring unit and one that makes records we couldn't be more pleased."
He discussed ASIA's fall tour.
"We'll be touring in October for America and we play two dates in the UK on the 11th and 12th of June; then we go straight to Japan for four dates then we tour Europe in September and the U.S. in October. A couple of dates are already on sale. We'll be playing New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Annapolis, MD, and then Los Angeles. It will be the longest tour of the six weeks, normally we only do four weeks and five weekends."
Founding member, Steve Howe retired from ASIA in 2013. The band added talented young guitarist, Sam Coulson to the mix.
"It could have been a catastrophe because he was an original member and if we were to be the original ASIA that was the big exciting thing about us reforming in 2006 and there aren't many bands that have been around for over 30 years that still had the original four members. So that was one of our original cards to play that we were the reunited four original members and to lose one member it could have been catastrophic. It's given the band to enter a new opportunity to enter a new chapter. We did a few shows last summer with Sam playing guitar we did a big festivals, a couple of small shows with Sam in the UK we did a big Harley Davidson Festival in Austria, etc. Sam has never played in America with us so it will be the first time for him. I think he'll go down extremely well in Japan they like the 'guitar hero' there and he fits in the the 'visual' requirements and I think he'll be a big hit because he's a fabulous guitar player he's very young but the age difference does not show too much in the dressing room he has the same sense of humor! It's a good dressing room!" Wetton joked.
'Gravitas' wasn't the original title of the album. It was 'Valkyrie' which is one of the songs. Original guitarist, Steve Howe retired from ASIA in 2013.
"When Steve said that he was leaving, I felt that we just had to 'hit the ground running' and we had to make an announcement 14-15 months ago that said the band is to continue—it has a new guitar player, it's touring again it's making a new record with the backing of the record company and the new album was titled, 'Valkyrie' and I just wanted to look like very seamless and we weren't going to be thrown by this. The end result after recording for six months we decided to switch the title of the album from 'Valkyrie' to 'Gravitas' because there was a feeling within the band that 'Valkyrie' was too feminine so when we had a meeting I stated that I was not too fussy about keeping the title, 'Valkyrie.' I didn't share that opinion but at the same meeting I said, "I have another title which is the next song I'm working on called, 'Gravitas' anyone want that?" So at that time the whole table burst out into high-fives and ok we got it and I said, "That's fine by me." As far as I'm concerned, 'Valkyrie' is where the album began—that was the original idea I had for this album and at that time it was only a title and four chords but it was the original idea and it will still be 'Valkyrie' to me."
When it was time to replace Steve, John's first choice would have been Steve Lukather, (Toto) and Carl Palmer's choice would have been Paul Gilbert from Mr. Big. So how did their newest member Sam Coulson join the band?
"We approached both of these guys and they each said the same thing, "Thank you, we're very flattered but we can't." When Paul Gilbert said that, we said we were stuck do you have any suggestions and he said, "Yeah, I've got two suggestions two guys would be perfect for you." One was an American who was slightly older than Sam and then there was Sam himself who was really a blank page who didn't really have a history; he's young, he doesn't come with any baggage he's not a train-wreck like me— he's a steady, sensible young man, not like me at that age I was all over the shop you know," explains Wetton. "Sam has the personality requirements that we needed. He's fit in really well he did great on the album and we know that he can 'cut the mustard' on stage so we're very confident," John confessed. "The fans love him! So what could've been a calamity actually turned into our favor it's worked for us. Steve was a fabulous member of this band for a very long time he's a great guitar player and I wish him all the best I'm not in the business of trashing people I've worked with because I wouldn't have been on the same stage with him if I didn't think he was that good. Steve is a guitar hero. What Sam does if he works in the band in the structure of the song he's happy to play unison and rhythm parts and blasts the solos. He wants to be a member of this band so he's got the right attitude spot on."
The album's namesake is about struggles in relationships.
"People will identify with this album because a lot of it references personal and emotional struggles in the lyric. The guy in the song, 'Gravitas' is going through a divorce and no one has any dignity. It starts off amicable but in the end people bawling each other out and the protagonist in the song is saying, "Please, please leave me some dignity," John admits. "The song, "The Closer I Get To You" is about disintegration of a relationship and we've all been through that as well. I get responses from people that say, "Oh, that happened to me last year."
John is inspired and deeply moved by Joni Mitchell's music as the influence for many of the band's songs.
"When I go to a concert, I want to be moved I want to laugh, cry and expect the artist to take me through every spectrum of emotions if I went to a Joni Mitchell concert that's what I would be doing, I'd be locking into what she does and going through it with her." Joni Mitchell was a big turning point for me when I heard her song, "Blue" in 1971. I switched from writing from third person to first person; it wasn't that easy at first. I was inspired by Joni Mitchell that she had the 'honesty' and she would write stuff that happened to her and not to other people. That's been my kind of keystone ever since the songs I write are intensely personal like the two original ASIA hits, "Heat of The Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell." "Heat Of The Moment" starts off with an apology; where have you heard that before in a rock song? Probably never! Rock and roll is all about being macho, "Fuck You" lyrics and "Heat of The Moment" starts off by saying, "I've never been so bad to you I'm on my knees." We deal with emotional subjects and we put them on a mattress of beautiful-gorgeous keyboards and vocal layers; we have great guitar solos and we have a drummer (Carl Palmer) that hits drums harder than any other drummer I've known him for well over 40 years."
The record company (Frontiers) wanted to put the album out in various formats. John recommends the Deluxe Edition.
"It has all sorts of goodies on it, you get a DVD with the 'Valkyrie' video you get the orchestra bonus tracks it's well worth the extra money plus it's got liner notes from me. It was the record company's idea. These days, you have to work every trick in the book to keep in the business because of diminishing record sales. The way the business is going it's very much dog-eats-dog and we sell almost exclusively CDs and DVDs we don't sell many downloads we're not in that world. We deal with people who want to buy the album, they want to unpack it and read every detail (who plays on the album,who produced it, where it was mixed,etc.) they need those details just the same way I used to be with albums. Our record company gives them what they want and sometimes they'll splash out the extra with the Japanese record because the printing quality is really top notch it's got all those Japanese pictograms all over it and the other choice you'll have is vinyl. They'll be about six formats available. The nine tracks on the album are exactly the same, the only difference is the packaging."
John returned from Miami recently from the Cruise To The Edge trip. He reunited with his old band, UK and has played with other bands on the side.
"That warmed things up in the last 18 months (UK band), then I was in King Crimson. I reunited with Chris Squire of YES on the ship and I did a tour with District 97 of the U.S. and Europe, a young band from Chicago and I think they're great I've played with solo artists in New York City but apart from that, I've been concentrating completely on ASIA—we've been writing and recording and it takes a very long time to do this stuff; it could have been derailed at any time so I needed to keep a firm hand on that."
When the band formed in 1982, they only played arenas and didn't tour much. They weren't really connected as a band and travelled separately and stayed in separate hotels. Today, the band is very much together and they tour all over the world and formed a very strong, solid bond, catching up and making up for lost time.
"We're now discovering what it's like to be a real band there's a lot more bonding going on. It would be a lot more difficult to split us up now—we have a lot of resilience and love in the band. It should have been like that in the first place."
ASIA is looking forward to heading out on tour and seeing their loyal fans.
"We're looking forward to seeing all of you again, we can't wait. I think you'll be really pleased. Come along and enjoy it!"

Tabouli Grill
The rich and tasty flavors of the Mediterranean come to Stamford
Kashmiri Pulao
Photograph by Gus Cantavero
While musing on food, I sometimes think that the USDA food pyramid needs to be redone. Forget the building blocks with its fruits, meats and sweets. A far more accurate rendition would include what most of us actually eat. I believe it comes down to brown foods, beige foods and white foods, the whole pallid color spectrum of mashed potatoes, steak and vanilla ice cream.
This "deep thought" occurred to me again while sitting at a table at Tabouli Grill in Stamford. Eating here was like leaving the black-and-white world and suddenly seeing it in Technicolor. The vibrant dishes coming from the kitchen were as bright and cheerful as confetti.
There are any number of falafel outlets and pita joints in Stamford, but the food offered at Tabouli Grill is in another realm. This is serious (if unpretentious) Mediterranean cooking at its best. The mastermind behind the good food is Judith Roll, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a pastry chef who cut her kitchen chops working with Wolfgang Puck. After traveling all over the Middle East—from Israel to Turkey, from Greece to Egypt—she has edited the best dishes from these regions for her pretty little restaurant at Bull's Head Plaza.
Some of the foods offered here will be familiar: hummus and Greek salads, chicken kabobs and baklava—and they are the best renditions of their kind, to be sure. However, Tabouli Grill also shines presenting lesser-known dishes.
Begin your meal with Israeli "Nachos," a large platter of baked pita chips, cubes of tangy feta cheese, briny black olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and a dipping sauce called labneh (a tangy yogurt with fresh herbs). Don't overlook the Israeli Salad, a gorgeous kaleidoscope of color and taste: chopped tomato, cucumber, red onions, red cabbage and bright green parsley simply sprinkled with olive oil, salt and lemon juice. Our curiosity was piqued by an appetizer called Vegetarian Chopped Liver. Ever dubious about mock foods, we thought this mélange of vegetables not only tasted like real chopped chicken liver but also made eating healthy and fun.
The sandwiches at Tabouli Grill are a delight. Some are simple (Grandma Minnie's Tuna Salad in Pita) and some have higher aspirations, such as the Pan Roasted Salmon with cilantro, red onion, tomato and za'tar (a spice blend of sesame seeds, hyssop and sumac). Our surprise favorite among the half-dozen sandwiches listed under Halavi was the rather exoticsounding Sabiach. Currently all the rave in Israel, the Sabiach is a fresh split pita bread stuffed with ingredients from the sparkling Israeli Salad blended with hummus, tahini, sliced hardboiled egg and slices of roasted eggplant.
The kitchen turns out wonderful side dishes too. The Hand Cut French Fries (sweet potato and regular) are both hot and fresh. Megadarra, a bowl of lentils and rice with caramelized onions, is flavorful and pleasing.
Soups are what mama would have cooked if she only had the time. Each day Judith prepares her special soups, giving choices to those craving meat and others craving a vegetarian option. We loved her rendition of a hearty split-pea soup. With sweet-potato fries on the side, it turned into a warming meal.
In all, a minor miracle happens when you eat at Tabouli Grill. Food that is both delicious and savory turns out to be healthy at the same time! This is the type of food we all should eat: no preservatives, fresh and clean, copious veggies, grains and grilled meats. It makes eating healthy a delight instead of a chore.
Be sure to leave room for something sweet. There is a huge, honey-oozing block of baklava, a lovely poppy-seed cake with a thin layer of cream cheese frosting and a knock-your-socks-off ice cream that tastes of sesame-spiked vanilla with ribbons of halvah running through it. Judith also produces a fun whoopee pie and a big chewy cookie studded with M&Ms.
Aside from enjoying fine food at reasonable prices, it was a kick to see our waitress approach the table when we were first seated. Her name is Ya'el, and she is Judith's eight-year-old daughter. Ya'el handed us the menus with the serious focus of a refined hostess. She carefully brought us glasses of water, and after turning over our care to a grown-up waitress, she pranced away, her little legs covered in bright red tights.
Tabouli Grill is an easy place to love. It is not about gimmicks or corporate menu planning. It is the heart and soul of a passionate chef who has translated her world travels into a concise culinary travelogue for all of us to enjoy.
