Earl Ray Tomblin, W.Va.'s 35th Governor
Gov. Tomblin's remarks, as prepared for delivery, are included below:
"Good afternoon. Thank you for joining us for this celebration. We celebrate as united West Virginians today, not as political parties divided, but as one, with common dreams and purposes. I'm honored you have given me the tremendous opportunity to serve as your Governor for another four years.
"I want to extend my appreciation to Senator Jay Rockefeller who has committed his life to serving this great state. As a VISTA volunteer in a small mining community nearly 50 years ago, Sen. Jay Rockefeller transformed his commitment to one community into a life of service for the people of West Virginia. There are few people in this world like him, and it's been a privilege to have worked with him throughout the years. Sen. Rockefeller championed many efforts for our families, miners, military members and veterans as well as laying the ground work for some of our state's most valuable growing business relationships. I'm forever grateful for Sen. Rockefeller's lifelong passion to help others and all he has done for West Virginians—he is truly a man of great character. Senator, I thank you.
"And to Senator Joe Manchin, who couldn't be with us today—but who is always working to ensure our voices are heard in our nation's capital.
"Congressman Rahall, Congresswoman Capito, as well as Congressman McKinley—who couldn't be here today—thank you for your commitment to the highest honor one can receive—to represent the great people of our state in all 55 counties.
"Governor Caperton and Governor Wise—thank you both for your past service to our state and for your continued dedication to West Virginia.
"To my colleagues on the Board of Public Works—congratulations. I look forward to working with you.
"And to the members of the House and Senate—I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to continue our work together to move our state forward.
"To my many supporters, who have poured their hearts into getting me elected—and then re-elected—thank you.
"I'd be remiss if I didn't thank a few other very important people.
"To one of the most supportive and loving families I could have ever asked for. Mom, Dad and Carl, thank you for standing by my side—and cheering—for many, many years. And to my two biggest fans, my lovely wife Joanne and our son Brent, thank you for your unconditional love and support. I love both of you very much.
"I have grown up and raised my family here, and there is no place I'd rather be than right here, in this—the Great State of West Virginia.
"Over the years, I've witnessed firsthand the generosity of West Virginians. And in this past year our families, friends and communities have shown me again the strength of their character in the wake of the spring tornado and floods, the derecho, Hurricane Sandy, and the tragic loss of two State Troopers. In the midst of these extraordinarily difficult times, West Virginians joined together to support each other. They found strength in the company of others and they put the needs of our neighbors and communities first.
"Last month, the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary School reminded us all of how precious our families, friends and communities are—and the joy they bring into our lives. Such loss is heartbreaking—it's unspeakable. Still today, Joanne and I continue to pray for the families and friends of the children and adults who left this world far too soon. I ask everyone here with us today—and throughout the Mountain State—to take a moment of silence to reflect upon those we have lost and those who mean so much to us in our own lives. Thank you.
"Two weeks ago many of us gathered together with friends and family to celebrate the holiday season and the New Year. It was an opportunity, not only to catch up, but to be reminded of our blessings.
"Throughout my years in public service as Senate President and as Governor, I've never forgotten the tremendous value it is for a person, a state, or a country to look back to see how far they have come so they may build upon what has been accomplished or to chart a new course of action.
"During my years in public service, I've worked hard to create a brighter future for West Virginia, and I've approached every decision, every challenge, and every opportunity with one goal—and that is—putting West Virginia First.
"Our journey to transform this State began over 25 years ago. The road we have traveled has not always been easy. But we have done it the right way—working together—with business, labor, Republican, and Democrat—to solve our problems.
"We fixed our ailing pension systems. And now we have a plan for paying our hardworking teachers and public employees the pensions they deserve. We've invested almost $2 billion to make sure their pensions will be there when they retire.
"At one time we had doctors refusing to care for our state employees because their government insurance program let them down. But by creating the PEIA finance board and through our sound fiscal management, we have solved that problem.
"We pay our bills on time, and we are now on a path to resolve our last unfunded liability—Other Post-Employment Benefits or OPEB. In fact, we've cut this liability in half.
"We are less than four years away from paying off our old workers compensation debt. We had a broken system with widespread fraud, poor care for workers, and premiums that were way too high. We stabilized, and then privatized our workers compensation system. The albatross around our economic neck is all but gone, and we now have one of the best programs in the country.
"When our doctors couldn't get malpractice insurance, we took the initiative, reformed our legal culture—and created a physicians mutual giving our providers accessible and affordable insurance. Today, doctors are thriving in West Virginia.
"We have made significant strides in building schools and expanding access for clean water and sewer systems for our citizens. Since 1989, we have spent over $1.7 billion to construct 132 new schools. In just the past two years, we've dedicated a total of more than $165 million to school improvements and construction projects taking place in all 55 counties. And working with federal and local partners, we have invested almost $1 billion in vital water and sewer service.
"As our nation slowly emerges from one of the worst economic downturns in recent history, many states have seen unsustainable budget deficits and devastating cuts to education and infrastructure. Fortunately, West Virginia has done very well, thanks to the strong fiscal management of the last 25 years. In fact, we were one of only 18 states that weren't forced to borrow money from the federal government in order to pay unemployment benefits. We not only have a balanced budget, but because of careful spending, we have one of the best Rainy Day funds in the country.
"I've also made lowering taxes one of my top priorities. West Virginia families will soon have one less thing to worry about beginning July 1st, the food tax will be gone, putting money back into the pockets of hard working West Virginians every single day.
"We've cut taxes for our businesses too. The Mountain State has not seen a general tax increase in the past 20 years. We are eliminating our business franchise tax, and we continue to cut our corporate net income tax.
"We have also created a number of new laws to protect our West Virginia families. Last year, we took real action and received national recognition as we made our roads safer. It's now against the law to text while driving. We made our mines safer by passing a comprehensive mine safety bill to protect the thousands of miners across this state who work each and every day so we may all enjoy a better life. We passed legislation for enhanced prescription drug monitoring. These new laws are shutting down pill mills and putting an end to doctor-shopping. And we're putting millions of dollars into programs to help those stuck in the terrible cycle of drug addiction.
"We made real changes—and we have made them by working together, by reaching out across the street, across the state, and across party lines. We've put our families and our communities first. And, I can promise you one thing—we will continue putting them first for the next four years.
"Because our financial house is in order we can start looking toward the future. We have created thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in new investments in the past two years.
"West Virginia is blessed to have a strong, diverse energy sector. Last year, our state led the nation in coal exports. And I will continue to protect and increase the production of coal in West Virginia.
"And we continue to focus on making the most of the tremendous opportunities presented by both the Marcellus and Utica Shale. The Shale development and the potential economic growth and jobs that will come with the revitalization of the manufacturing sector are astounding; and West Virginia is right in the center of it all.
"Working together, we've achieved great things. And I reaffirm my commitment to you today: I will continue to spend every minute working to make West Virginia a better place.
"Now, make no mistake, I remain concerned about our future. All of our hard work will be for nothing if jobs are not available and if our children are not prepared to thrive and be productive citizens in our workforce. If our children are to succeed, they must have a world-class education and must grow up in a community free from the temptations and problems associated with substance abuse.
"We have hard working teachers. Per capita, our education funding ranks among the nation's best. But on our most important metric—student achievement—we're falling behind. It doesn't need to be this way—and it must stop.
"The key to our success lies in making sure our children are prepared and ready to have a successful career in the 21st century economy. That means focusing to ensure our youngest get started on the right track, with meaningful programs designed to make sure that, by the third grade, children have the key building blocks for a lifetime of learning. That means making sure our vocational training programs are responsive to the needs of today's economy. That means making sure our institutions of higher learning have programs designed to prepare our teachers to teach in today's world. That means making sure that teachers have the support they need in their classrooms. That means ensuring our students are guaranteed the instructional time they need to excel. That means giving our school systems the ability to be innovative. And that means making sure parents become more responsible for their children and their learning. It won't happen overnight—but we must give our students a better chance at success.
"And while we must work on our education system, I also will continue to fight our substance abuse issues in our communities. And I will continue to work to improve our job climate.
"Unfortunately, for me that means, in many instances, fighting the federal government to get off our backs and out of our way. But it is a fight I will not concede, and I will never back down.
"The solid foundation we have built for our State has given us the opportunity to reach even greater heights in the four years ahead. But I need your help. Let us move forward this day united. I'm committed to working with the legislature to make major improvements for our businesses, our schools, and in our communities.
"Again, I am truly humbled that YOU, the people of this beautiful state, have allowed me to continue serving as your governor. West Virginia is a special place. There is no place on earth quite like it, I know—I've lived here all my life.
"In this sesquicentennial year, we will pause to remember how far we've come, how we have struggled to get from wilderness to economic progress and development, and to re-commit ourselves to ensuring a greater path for others to follow. Let me be the first to say, Happy Birthday Mountain State. Mountaineers are, indeed, always free.
"And for 150 years, the people of the Mountain State have proven to the world that: We work hard. We love our families and our friends. We won't turn our backs on someone who needs help—even if we don't know them well. We will fight for what's right, and we will always put West Virginia and her people first.
"In this historic year, we seek the leadership of the Lord and the blessings he has so graciously bestowed upon us.
"God bless you, God bless America, and God bless the great State of West Virginia."

Vice President Joe Biden
Enlarge | Buy This Image
Vice President Joe Biden will be in Toledo Thursday morning to meet with UAW members, according to an Obama-campaign official in Ohio.
The campaign event at United Auto Workers Local 12, 2300 Ashland Ave, will be the vice president's first in a series of events over the next few weeks to begin framing the "core issues of the general election – mainly the competing visions and contrasting philosophies for growing the economy and strengthening the middle class," the official said in an email to The Blade.
Mr. Biden's speech will highlight the president's steps to create jobs across the country, the source said.
"Thursday's speech will also highlight the President's decision, in the face of stiff opposition, to rescue the auto industry and save 1.4 million American jobs, and Mitt Romney's position that we should have let Detroit go bankrupt," the official said.
The vice president was in Toledo more than once in 2010. He marched in the Labor Day parade that year with then-governor Ted Strickland and also made an appearance on Aug. 23 to tour the Chrysler Jeep Wrangler assembly plant in North Toledo. There he conversed and rubbed shoulders with several hundred members of the United Auto Workers union.

So, you have to break his heart? It's okay. Nobody plans for it to happen.
Okay, I take that back. Some people do but they're not you so why are we even talking about them? Nobody like you sets it up that:
- you develop a crush on a guy and then lose that feeling because, well, that's what happens in the early boy-girl years
- you think you like a guy and YOU let him know, and then you see things in him that are so not what you have in mind for a boyfriend
- a guy likes you and, um, you don't like him back, at least not the way he likes you
All of that is just plain old normal when guys and girls are first figuring out how to deal with each other, what they want in a relationship, whether they even want a relationship. But it definitely doesn't feel natural to simply say, "In your dreams, pal," and walk away without a thought to his feelings. That may not seem like a big deal to a guy when he's the one doing it, but for somebody like you . . . . yeah, it requires some thought.
So here are some of mine when it comes to the Christian way to give a guy the bad news that you're not into him.
First of all, don't count on the boy to necessarily get a vibe from your body language.
Some do. Most don't. It's kind of like when you come to the dinner table puffy-eyed, tears streaming down your cheeks, and about the time dessert is served, your father looks at you and says, "Is something wrong?" Seriously? Guys your age are even more clueless because they just aren't always as tuned in to other people's emotions as a lot of girls are.
What's really required of a Christian in your situation is that you love the boy.
Wait – hear me out. I'm not talking about pretending to like him when even the way he
chews his Big Mac turns you off. This kind of love has nothing to do with liking him. This is spiritual love. This is what that looks like:
- Do him no harm. Don't gossip about him, tell everybody what a dork he is, laugh in the poor guy's face (even if he behaves like a jerk)
- Realize that as a fellow child of God he deserves your basic respect. Don't look at him like he's invisible. Acknowledge his good points. Resist the urge to say, "Why exactly are you hanging around me?"
- Help him out if he needs it and IF you're the one to do it. Squelch the false rumor everybody's spreading about him. Let him know he's about to sit in the ketchup some moron put in his chair. Pray for him.
Of course even if you make it clear that all of the above is stuff you'd do for anybody,
guys who are especially drawn to girls like you who are actually decent to them are not going to go away quietly.
That's when that Face Off we've talked about in our last couple of posts comes into play. To review —
- Be honest though kind
- Tell him straight out that this thing he wants between the two of you just isn't going to work out
- Avoid getting into why you would rather spend your Friday nights watching reruns on TVLand than hang out with him. He doesn't need to hear, "You drive me nuts talking about your video games," or "Seriously, it's your breath." Okay, if it's because he's a kleptomaniac or something you can say, 'I can't date you because you really need some professional help.' Beyond that, don't go there.
- Don't wimp out and make excuses instead of saying, "You? Me? I'm sorry, but it can't happen." Excuses include things like, "My parents won't let me hang out with guys" (if that isn't true) and "I can't see you because my best friend likes you" (even if she does). He really does deserve the truth, delivered to him by a Christian girl who is (supposedly . . . .) all about loving her neighbor as herself.
What if he doesn't give up?
As we say here in the South: bless his heart. If that's the case, tell him as often as you need to, and be sure you don't do anything to encourage him. That can be a temptation. It doesn't hurt your self-esteem any to have somebody swooning over you, especially if you're having a bad zit day or something.
For those of you who are sensitive and hate hurting anybody's feelings – as in you'd rather have your braces adjusted – it can't be avoided sometimes. It's not your fault that this guy likes you. Why wouldn't he? You're amazing. But even when you guard his feelings with everything you have, they're still going to be hurt a little bit, just like yours are when somebody you're crushing on makes it clear the feeling isn't mutual. You can't avoid that. But you can do a lot to make sure his ego isn't completely smashed and he doesn't end up thinking he's a total loser.
Love others as well as you love yourself, Jesus said (Matthew 22:40, The Message). Who knew that commandment, one of the two greatest he gave us, would be so hard to follow? But it is a commandment, not a suggestion. So if you have to bruise a little masculine pride, do it the way you'd want it done to you.
And not to worry. He's a guy. He'll be fine by tomorrow.

Background. Many currently used antidepressants are substrates of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 enzyme. In patients who experience variations in the activity of this enzyme (e.g., CYP2D6 poor and ultrarapid metabolizers [PMs and UMs]), whether caused by genetic polymorphisms or concomitant administration of a CYP2D6 inhibitor (i.e., phenoconversion), the pharmacokinetics, and hence the effects, of CYP2D6 substrate antidepressants can be altered. Methods. This literature review describes the clinical and empirical evidence indicating that alterations in CYP2D6 activity can negatively affect treatment outcomes in patients receiving antidepressant pharmacotherapies that are CYP2D6 substrates. Results. Based on results from a small, prospective trial, a population analysis, and a pooled analysis, CYP2D6 PMs treated with agents dependent on CYP2D6 metabolism to form an active metabolite can experience a decline in antidepressant effect. Based on a population analysis and two case studies, CYP2D6 UMs treated with antidepressants that are CYP2D6 substrates and administered in a pharmacologically active form do not experience an antidepressant effect due to the agent being too rapidly eliminated from the body. Conversely, based on prospective trials, population analyses, and case studies, phenotypic and phenoconverted CYP2D6 PMs can experience an increase in concentration-dependent adverse events due to the agent being eliminated too slowly from the body. Conclusions. Despite these examples, few large-scale, prospective trials exploring the effect of altered CYP2D6 metabolism on antidepressant outcomes have been conducted. Future clinical trials of CYP2D6-dependent antidepressants should be designed to allow for stratification of treatment outcomes by CYP2D6 metabolizer status.

What Does BMI Mean?
A BMI of 25 or above is a risk factor for overweight and obesity related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, some types of cancer and type II diabetes. A low BMI -- under 18 -- increases your risk for osteoporosis or may be a sign of a health problem. If you have a BMI of above 27 or below 18, you should see your doctor to have any additional risk factors assessed and for guidance on how to lose (or gain) weight.
How Do I Calculate My BMI?
You can use the formula in English:
Your Weight in Pounds / (Your Height in Inches)2 x 703
or in Metric:
Your Weight in Kilograms / (Height in Meters)2

{{FAQs by country}}

 ===How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Sierra Leone?===

 Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess
 charges for transport of baggage that exceeds those limits.
 The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will
 not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these
 limits. The Peace Corps' allowance is two checked pieces
 of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to
 exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on
 bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked
 baggage should not exceed 80 pounds [or 100 for countries
 with cold weather] total with a maximum weight of 50 pounds
 for any one bag.

 Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets,
 weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios
 are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas
 assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids
 such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol
 containers. This is an important safety precaution.

 ===What is the electric current in Sierra Leone?===

 There is alternating current (ac) with a nominal voltage of 230
 and approximately 50 hertz. The frequency is not stable, so
 look into surge protection if possible. Type D and G plugs are
 used, so bring converters (and adapters) as needed.

 ===How much money should I bring?===

 Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people
 in their community. You will be given a settling-in allowance
 and a monthly living allowance, which should cover your
 expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for
 vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and traveler's
 checks are preferable to cash. If you choose to bring extra
 money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans
 and needs.

 ===When can I take vacation and have people visit me?===

 Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of
 service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during
 training, the first three months of service, or the last three
 months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized
 emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit
 you after pre-service training and the first three months of
 service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work.
 Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may
 require permission from your country director. The Peace
 Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa, medical, or
 travel assistance.

 ===Will my belongings be covered by insurance?===

 The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for
 personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for
 the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you
 can purchase personal property insurance before you leave.
 If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company;
 additionally, insurance application forms will be provided,
 and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers
 should not ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry,
 watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are
 subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places,
 satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.

 ===Do I need an international driver's license?===

 Volunteers in Sierra Leone do not need an international
 driver's license because they are prohibited from operating
 privately owned motorized vehicles. Most urban travel is by
 bus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to
 trucks, bicycles, and lots of walking. On very rare occasions, a
 Volunteer may be asked to drive a sponsor's vehicle, but this
 can occur only with prior written permission of the country
 director. Should this occur, the Volunteer may obtain a local
 driver's license. A U.S. driver's license will facilitate the
 process, so bring it with you just in case.

 ===What should I bring as gifts for Sierra Leone friends and my host family?===

 This is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient.
 Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house;
 pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs
 from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or
 photos to give away.

 ===Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?===

 Peace Corps trainees are not assigned to individual sites
 until after they have completed pre-service training. This
 gives Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each
 trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites,
 in addition to finalizing site selections with their ministry
 counterparts. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to
 provide input on your site preferences, including geographical
 location, distance from other Volunteers, and living conditions.

 However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site
 selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee
 placement where you would ideally like to be. Most Volunteers
 live in small to medium sized towns or in rural villages and are
 usually within one hour from another Volunteer. Some sites
 require a 10- to 12-hour drive from the capital.

 ===How can my family contact me in an emergency?===

 The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides
 assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and
 Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States,
 instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services
 immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness
 or death of a family member. During normal business hours,
 the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580;
 select option 2, then extension 1470. After normal business
 hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services
 duty officer can be reached at the above number. For nonemergency
 questions, your family can get information
 from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling
 800.424.8580.

 ===Can I call home from Sierra Leone?===

 Phone service is not reliable, particularly in the interior
 of the country. Volunteers can call home fairly easily from
 larger towns, but it is expensive. Toll free numbers in the
 U.S. cannot be used in Sierra Leone. Usually Volunteers will
 schedule calls ahead of time and have the person in the U.S.
 call Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone international dialing code
 is 232.

 ===Should I bring a cellular phone with me?===

 Peace Corps/Sierra Leone will provide you with a cell phone
 soon after your arrival. Usage charges are based on the
 amount of minutes used. Phone scratch cards are sold for an
 average of Le 10,200 (2.50 USD) per card and these basic
 costs have been calculated into your living allowance. If you
 choose to bring another phone from the States, be sure it is
 multi-system and is "unlocked" or it will not work in Sierra
 Leone.

 ===Will there be email and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?===

 The climate and environment in Sierra Leone are very hard on
 electrical equipment. Additionally, if you do bring a laptop or
 other electronic device, it will be difficult to keep it charged
 as the electricity in Sierra Leone is of poor quality and
 intermittent, if available at all. Electronic devices, especially
 computers, are also seen as valuable items and may increase
 the risk of theft.

 There is Internet and email access at a few places in Freetown
 and other larger towns. You are free to bring a laptop, but be
 aware of the challenges.

UPDATE: Matt Damon sells his Miami Beach Home – read HERE
Thank you Curbed Miami for giving us the scoop on Matt Damon and his Miami Beach home being for sale. I have to admit that I don't have many crushes on actors, but there's something about Matt Damon – he won me over with his "Good Will Hunting" performance and I would probably be star struck if I saw him (GASP). So enough about Matt and let's talk real estate.
This North Bay Road home boasts almost 13,000 sf of living space with 7 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms. It has 170′ of open bay water frontage and sits on a 43,690 sf lot. It was built in 1935 and obviously remodeled (DUH) and although it has a nice charming 30's feel to it, it also feels modern.
It is modestly priced at
$20 Million $18.999 Million and could have Chris Bosh as a neighbor close by …and not to mention "Matt Damon appeal."
Here are some exterior shots:
The marketing description reads (let me know if you need translating):

I have yet to find a mama who does not enjoy a nice cup of coffee. And the majority enjoy said nice cup of coffee (or three) each morning to help start the day! I am definitely in that category of moms who take much-needed help each morning with a cup of glorious coffee with cream.
Winchell Mountain Coffee is a brand that most have probably not heard of, unless you like in New York, where the company is located.. But if you have not heard of them yet, you are definitely missing out! Their coffee selections varies greatly to ensure each finds their own personal favorite.
I was sent this beautiful selection of coffees from The Boynton Collection!
Wildly Dynamic Designs for Wildly Dynamic Connoisseurs
Hubby is also very obsessed with coffee and has taken a couple of these bags to work with him. We both think that the flavors are different from other coffees (can't really describe how) but that the difference is great! Once you have tried Winchell Mountain Coffees, you are bound to find faults in the regular brands you normally buy..
The quality is amazing and only the best Arabic beans are used. I enjoy grinding my own coffee beans at home each morning because I think it tastes much more fresh. But if you are a pre-ground lover, you can also buy their bags of coffee pre-ground for ease and convenience!
At Winchell Mountain Coffee, quality is our number one priority. Once you know what quality tastes like, the rest is just mediocre. With a strong belief in great food diversity, a certain amount of snobbery in what we consume and, above all, second to none quality, we hold this coffee to a very high standard. Naturally we believe in sharing and distributing a quality product that we, and many others, have enjoyed for so long.
Winchell Mountain Coffee purchases and roasts only the best Arabica beans. Our coffee beans are not actually purchased or roasted until samples have met certain specifications. Winchell Mountain Coffee is roasted all by hand and under the watchful eye of Bob Rivkin, who has perfected an art over his long, accomplished tenure as master roaster of Schapira's Coffee and Tea. The main objective of our coffee roasting and packaging process is freshness. This is achieved through meticulous attention to detail. After the beans are done roasting, they are checked for perfection and sent to cooling for a short period of time. They are then vacuum packaged in Goglio valve bags and sent off for your enjoyment. The Goglio bags are used to ensure quality and freshness and are non-resealable for a reason.
Once a vacuum pack seal is broken, it is essential for ALL coffee to be stored in an air tight and hidden from light container to ensure freshness. Please understand that this is the best way to ensure quality, freshness and taste for ALL coffees, not just ours. We want our customers to enjoy Winchell Mountain Coffee, as it should be.
Overall, I was incredibly impressed with my Winchell Mountain Coffees and wish they carried their selections over on this side of the US but if you are over on the East Coast, be sure to check out their local retailers for buying! If you're like me and do not live close, Winchell Mountain Coffee does have a Shop on their website with decently-priced shipping fees. I definitely recommend picking a few to see which your favorites will be!
OR you can WIN the same set that I received, right here on ATTW4…!!

I was going to to seperate band reviews, but I'd be sitting here for days, so I'll just sum up my time in one simple post.
It was great to meet up with Garagemetal, Masterguy, Razor, and Voidflame. Wish I lived on your side of the states so we could all kick it more! Maybe next year
Me and my crew from Seattle ended up replacing our PANTURRRUUUH-ing with "Cranking it like Soulja Boy" and yelling "YOOOOUUUUUU" after we hung out with Horna in our hotel room and offended one of their guitarists after yelling PANTURRUUUHH ("You do not disrepect Pantera.")
Night one was awesome, but it didn't give me the whole feeling of what MDF was all about. The outdoor stages were my favorite by far, the whole vibe was awesome. My only real gripe about the fest itself was the merch set up. It was such a clusterfuck and so hard to find what I actually wanted that it kind of led me away from it, but oh well.
I will admit, I hate Baltimore, every other store was closed, it was freakishly humid (Getting back into Seattle on Monday night was a godsend) and yeah, it is just not my place.
My top 10 bands of the weekend in no particular order....
- Even with the sloppiness near the end it was amazing to see them again!
Napalm Death
- Just... holy shit, one of the most intense live bands ever.
Morbid Angel
- I was worried about how it'd turn out.... but shit... AMAZING setlist. I was stoked when the cops showed up, it's too bad they didn't bust into Radikult.
- That cover of "Sacrifice" stole the show, ABSU-lutely amazing.
- I only caught a few songs, but it was sick as hell!
- Their new guitarist sucks ass, but they are a band i've been dying to see!
- I'd had never heard them prior to the fest, so fucking sick!
- Surprisingly same as Haemorrhage, super fun band to see live, I am a fan!
- I only know of Bethlehem since my friend used to do vocals for them, but they were amazing!
- Way better sounding than when they toured here last year, fun band, and the Zodiac killer shot me \m/
There is so much more I'd like to type about all of the bands, but I would be here all day, and I am still tired as shit. Here are some random things that made the weekend kick ass.
- Hanging out with Horna
- Dancing to Soulja Boy
- Coming up with the side scroller beat em up starring Frank Mullen and his only move is his chop/wave.

Christmas Trees on Cars
Photo by Emily Kathryn Photography
'Tis the season for some Christmas Trees on cars. I can't help but think of Clark Griswold on Christmas Vacation, when they trek all the way out there and he doesn't have a saw.
This year I am part of the "Christmas Trees on Cars" Blog Hop. Please check out the other amazing projects, because these projects are inspiring and just adorable!
This was something that I really wanted to create for my Christmas Card. My 16 month old just loves to scoot himself around in the Little Tike's cars at the local play gym. I wanted to create a Christmas card with him in the car and add a tree to the top.
So my husband scored a Little Tikes toddler car on Craigslist for $15.00! I wanted a vintage car look, so I opted for Green body, Cocoa Bean top and black wheels and steering wheel. The paint was purchased at Lowe's, Valspar Paint for Plastic ($5.44 a can).

Syria Dismantles and Surrenders Weapons
Moscow (AP) - Syrian President Bashar Assad says his government has agreed to surrender its chemical weapons in response to Russia's initiative and not because of the U.S. threat of attack. He tells Russian TV that "the U.S. threats hadn't influenced" his government's decision. Russia on Monday proposed that Syria place its chemical weapons under international control and eventually dismantle them to avert a U.S. strike, and Syria quickly accepted the proposal. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart will be discussing details for the plan today in Geneva.

For Immediate Release February 20, 2013Contact: Jeremy Warren, 512-463-0113
Statement of Senator Rodney Ellis on Vote to Approve Barbara Cargill as Chair of SBOE
(Austin, Texas)—Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) today released the following statement on Senate approval of Barbara Cargill as Chair of the State Board of Education:
"In spite of some real concerns, I voted in favor of Barbara Cargill to continue to serve as Chair of the State Board of Education. While I have reservations, unlike many in the US Senate I believe our role is 'advise and consent' on gubernatorial nominees, and that only those nominees that are completely unacceptable and out of the mainstream should be rejected.
"I do wish to go on record that my vote for Chair Cargill is not an endorsement of some of her views on creationism or her questionable action on litmus tests for social studies standards, and I remain concerned by her comments about needing more "Christian Conservatives" on the School Board of Education. I closely followed her nomination hearing and hope she will live by her pledges that she will be even-handed and much more cautious in her statements and cognizant that her words as leader of the State Board of Education can have an impact perhaps far beyond her intention.
"With that said, Chair Cargill made clear commitments to members of the Senate Nominations Committee that she will set aside her own personal politics and lead the board in an even-handed manner. It is clear that the atmosphere is better under Chair Cargill than it has been in the past, and she is a much better alternative to some others mentioned as possibilities."

We received this from the office of Rose DeLauro, D-Conn.:
WASHINGTON, DC—Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) released the following statement on the appointment of James P. Comer to the President's Advisory Commission on African Americans. DeLauro is the senior Democrat on the subcommittee responsible for funding the Department of Education.
"Jim is a dear friend and a trailblazer in educational research. The work he has done throughout his career on the link between child and adolescent development and learning is crucial to ensuring the success of our young people, and our nation. Jim's work has shaped the way we look at schools, child development and race, and we are the better for it. I applaud President Obama for naming him to this commission. He is an outstanding choice who will do Yale, and the entire New Haven community, proud.
Dr. James P. Comer is the Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Yale University Child Study Center, a position he has held since 1975. Dr. Comer first joined the Yale faculty and founded the Comer School Development Program in 1968, a program designed to improve scholastic performance of children from lower-income and minority backgrounds in particular. Dr. Comer received a B.A. from Indiana University, an M.D. from Howard University, and an M.P.H. from the University of Michigan.
The Commission is charged with strengthening America by improving educational outcomes for African Americans ensuring that all African Americans receive an education that prepares them for college, productive careers, and satisfying lives. Members advise the President and the Secretary of Education on ways to advance federal programs that improve educational opportunities for African Americans, increase participation of the African American community in federal agency programs, and engage stakeholders in a national dialogue on the mission.

Obit - George Beverly Shea
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — George Beverly Shea, the booming baritone who sang to millions of Christians at evangelist Billy Graham's crusades, has died after a brief illness. He was 104.
Spokesman Brent Rinehart of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association says Shea died Tuesday night after a brief illness.
Shea was well-known as a gospel soloist before he and Graham met in the early 1940s. He joined Graham's crusade team in 1947 and stayed until Graham's declining health ended most of the evangelist's public appearances nearly 60 years later.
Besides his distinctive voice, Shea was known for his trademark rendition of "How Great Thou Art" and his inspirational "The Wonder of It All."

Assertions about global warming misleadingJuly 30,2006A Chicago Tribune story in the July 16 edition of the Sunday Rutland Herald and Times Argus, "Sportsmen: Global heat a big concern," reflects a persistent and deeply troubling bias by most newspaper reporters. To flatly assert as the reporter does "there is no agreement on global warming" is misleading.
While many politicians and corporations whose by-products contribute to global warming may claim uncertainty, the global scientific consensus is overwhelmng. Hundreds of climate scientists from around the world concur that their data unequivocally indicate the planet is being heated by human-produced emissions.
If I test a new medicine on 1,000 patients who all, save one, experience major improvement, is there disagreement about the helpful role of the drug? If I test 1,000 new tires on a simulated dirt track and one tire gives out, is there disagreement about the safety of the new tires? So, too, with climate change 1,000 scientists warn of major challenges ahead with climate change and a few highly visible scientists supported by polluting industries say "still uncertain." We all need to move past our excuses for inaction and begin to implement the policies and behavior that will assure a livable planet for our grandchildren. And we need candid, clear journalists to support those critical shifts.

On Saturday, I made a whirlwind trip from my home in New Jersey to the Jacob Javits Center, home of the New York ComicCon. I didn't have time to see much, but I made a point of visiting our friends at NetherRealm to get in some hands-on time with one of our favorite games of E3 2012, Injustice: Gods Among Us. Not only did I get a chance to see newly announced character Green Arrow in action (Green Lantern and Joker, also revealed last week, weren't playable yet), but I took Nightwing, Catwoman and Cyborg for a spin, too.
Before actually picking up a controller, it's easy to assume that Injustice plays exactly like Mortal Kombat. The pedigree is obvious when watching the game in motion, and the art style is detail-rich and fluid in a way that improves on NetherRealm's triumphant 2011 fighter. This isn't simply a Mortal Kombat game in DC Comics clothing, though. The studio has embraced the challenge and opportunity that a new series offers, making some smart, distinctive breaks from the combat system they've lived in for years. They are in the process of crafting something new and befitting of iconic characters the likes of Batman and Superman.
I had the chance to speak with Producer Hector Sanchez about what sets distinguishes Injustice from the developer's previous work, the story that pits hero against hero and more. One thing I've heard from a lot of fans is how obvious it is that Injustice is a NetherRealm game. It's not until you have a controller in your hand that you realize just how different this fighter is from anything the studio has done before.
"Because this is a new franchise, we can do things with the design that would be considered blasphemous in the Mortal Kombat universe," Sanchez told me.
One of the major changes is that the studio pried themselves away from a dedicated block button. Instead, simply holding away from your opponent puts your character into a block state. Another key difference is the shift from a four-button layout (Front Punch, Back Punch, Front Kick, Back Kick) to a three-button approach (Hard, Medium, Light). The buttons don't correspond to punches or kicks specifically, which gives the team the option to focus on what the characters are known for. For instance, Solomon Grundy is likely to use his fists more than his feet, while Nightwing and Catwoman are more balanced.
I asked about NetherRealm's approach and whether the studio was factoring in the competitive scene.
Sanches told me, "We try to make the best game possible. We can't dictate to the fighting game community, and we don't set out to make a tournament fighter. Mortal Kombat has been at EVO, and we hope the FGC likes Injustice."
There are a number of other subtle inclusions in the system that will create new opportunities for strategies. Hit trades occur when players strike each other at the same time. Both take damage and reel a bit, which is a different mentality than many other games. Many other games will leave one player or the other with damage. Of course, the interactive backgrounds and stage transitions are a more obvious distinguishing feature. More importantly, they are easy to execute. When near a stage element that can be manipulated, a prompt (R1 on the PS3) will appear. Each stage has transition zones, and the player on the appropriate side need only connect with away and X (on the PS3) to trigger one when in the correct location. This puts the focus on timing rather than complicated command strings.
In addition to the basic attacks, there is a dedicated button for fighter-specific special powers. These vary greatly with Nightwing changing stances from bo staff to escrima and back again, Cyborg regenerating health and Green Arrow using his bow to fire trick arrows (changed by using the d-pad in combination with the power button). These all help connect the characters in the game to their storied histories. I asked Sanchez about working with a pantheon that they didn't have complete control over.
"We don't look at [working with established characters] as a limitation. We've had a relationship with DC since 2008, and there are a lot of returning people in the pipeline," he shared. "They send us boxes of comics to pull from, and our relationship allows us things like the synergy with the Green Arrow announcement, revealing the character the week that the show premiered."
Making sure that fans are happy is a key concern, and I inquired about the level of violence inherent in some of the characters, especially with Joker joining the cast.
"It can be tricky. The comic book crowd is very particular about how their favorite characters are portrayed," Sanchez admitted. "We're working hard to make sure that we are as true to those characters as possible. Their fight styles and all of their moves are derivative of specific things in the books."
I tried to dig a little bit at the story of Injustice, but Hector masterfully deflected.
"We're keeping it a big mystery," he said with a smile. "There are clues in the marketing materials, though. We didn't put a piece of kryptonite in Batman's hand by accident. Don't worry. We're going to provide context as to why Catwoman, for instance, can fight Superman."
Along those lines, we chatted about costumes and DLC. Each of the characters revealed so far (the team is shooting for 20 – 30 total) has donned a number of different styles over the years.
"We're definitely going to be doing a number of different costumes. For instance, if you pre-order the game, you can get Red Son costumes for Superman, Wonder Woman and Solomon Grundy, along with 20 missions from that story line."
The missions are the evolution of Mortal Kombat's much-adored Challenge Tower. They are presented in a different way, but they general concept is the same. As for DLC,
"It would be arrogant to talk about DLC so far in advance of the game launching, but we are going to put as much content on the disk as possible," Hector assured me. "If we talked about DLC before release, we'd be cheating the player."

If you're in search of a valentine, check out the 7 spots US News & World Report have selected — and start booking your flights NOW
Valentine's Day can really suck if you're single. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard the old song and dance of 'it's a commercial holiday fabricated by Hallmark' so many times it feels like a really crappy Beach Boys record is skipping in my brain. No matter which way you look at it, V-Day is like D-day for singles. You're forced to watch couples hold hands, look deeply into each others eyes and see other women get gifted with diamonds. You watch that harassed boyfriend running home from work holding a bouquet of red roses wondering why it isn't you that's receiving them. Well this year, I say get OVER IT — and take action! Unless you want to have a totally sad 'single girls night out' (sorry ladies, but there is nothing more desperate than having to prove you're happy with your manless state) where you drink too much and tell your worst 'he did what' stories, I suggest you book a quickie flight and head on over to one of these seven destinations, of which U.S. News & World Report have dubbed the seven best cities to be single. And to help you out, I've compiled a list of cool, non-tragic things you can do in each city come Feb. 14. I love playing cupid!
Atlanta is called 'Hot-lanta' for a reason, right? But where do you go to meet studly single dudes?
- Start your night off right at Midtown's Halo lounge, which is apparently popping on a Monday night. Although Valentine's happens to land on the shittiest day of the week this year, at least you'll be assured a good time at Halo (as long as you're not being an angel, that is).
- Buckhead's Whiskey Blue on the top floor of the W Hotel is where you'll find a plethora of besuited businessmen, so put on something with a plunging neckline and race over post-work for a (possibly) early night. Make sure what you're wearing isn't red or pink, please.
- Q100 Atlanta is hosting their annual Bitterball on Feb. 12 at Gold Room. Apparently, this is where you can dance away your misery at being Valentine-less and get drunk enough to take home a perfect stranger. Just sayin'.
- Dr. Sketchy presents the St. Valentine's Massacre sounds like the kind of party I'd want to be at come Feb. 14. Not only are you celebrating the bloodiest day in recent V-day history, but you also get to walk around a room with faux tommy guns. Wouldn't it be excellent if your ex also attended?
- Recreate your college days and take a ride on the Boomerang party bus, which makes drunken, debaucherous pitstops at D.C.'s hottest bars. Granted, it's a Monday night — but Valentine's Day is always a good excuse to call in sick to work the next day (it always makes me sick, at least).
- If you can't join 'em, learn how to get 'em! Check out the 3rd annual 'Art of Flirting event at iCi Urban Bistro where you'll learn to saber (behead, how fitting!) a bottle of champagne, memorize love quotes from Pablo Neruda, learn the real story of St. Valentine and eat a shit ton of chocolate at the Sofitel in Lafayette Square. Bliss.
- Cosmopolitans with your girlfriends is way too Sex & the City 2 (re: cheesy) so do the opposite if you need to get all liquored up to survive V-Day. Head to one of the city's grimiest yet most fun dive bars, The Pour House, for some PBR or Jagermeister, and you might just meet the hipster of your dreams (the unfortunate part of this being he may also fit in your skinny jeans).
In addition to lustfully gazing at photos of Cristiano Ronaldo who will, unfortunately and undoubtedly be frolicking with some supermodel somewhere on Feb. 14, there are plenty of other hot Spanish men near the sea. The good news about spending V-Day in Barcelona is that the Spaniards celebrate their version of Valentine's Day, La Diada de Sant Jordi (St. George's Day) on April 23, so there will be very few Catalonians getting friskier than normal. However, to make extra sure you don't see any loved-up couples, steer clear of Montjuic Castle and Parc Guell.
- FIST PUMP! Celebrate your inner Guido with Vinny from Jersey Shore at Enclave on Feb. 12 – and thank your lucky stars you're single and NOT dating a Jersey boy.
- Bad ass. Pretend you're a motorcycle mama and join the Harley crew for 'Burning Love' at The Abbey. It's an anti-Valentine's Day shindig, and Sailor Jerry is involved. Again, another reason to be glad you're single!
- Do NOT set foot near Millennium Park's ice-skating rink. You want to avoid that Serendipity-esque starry-eyed lover thing as long as you can on Monday.
There are 22 hours of night during Valentine's Day in Reykjavik, which should fit your mood appropriately and, according to US News & World Report, you have to actively TRY to be lonely come Feb. 14. Walk into any bar on Laugavegur, the city's main street, after midnight and announce to the crowd of attractive men, 'I'm single, and Valentine's Day is over. Let's drink!' Do not be dressed like Bjork and you'll be a surefire hit.
- Someone else's pain is sure to make you feel better, no? Those who are brave enough to 'fess up about being unlucky in love share their stories at the Doomed Valentine's Show at Shattuck Down Low. Suddenly, your life sucks a lot less.
- 5a5 is having a fun anti-V-Day party with a color-coded system. A hint of red means you're taken, a hint of yellow means 'it's complicated' and a hint of green means you're single and ready to mingle. Let's hope the guys attending aren't colorblind.
- San Fran is the America's home of homosexuals, so head down to the Castro and enjoy being single with the boys. Stay away from all public bathhouses, please.
Like Spain, Brazil's answer to Valentine's Day, Dia dos Namorados (Lovers Day) falls in June, so you don't have to worry about couples petting heavier than usual (hey, it is Brazil we're talking about) in front of you. If it's some flirting and soul-stroking you're looking for come Valentine's Day in this sexy city, head over to Shenanigan's Irish Bar or Emporio in Ipanema to mix with foreigners and locals alike. And, at long last, you can always say you celebrated Valentine's Day by being someone's 'Girl From Ipanema.'

Computer Specialist
Currently, I am working as a computer programmer
on the NED project. NED will provide site specific
expert recommendations on silvicultural prescriptions, promoting management
for a variety of traditional and nontraditional goals including; wildlife,
timber, aesthetics, water quality, pest management, and recreation. C++
is being used to develop the user interface and data management portions
of the program. The expert rules, and inference engine used to develop
the expert management recommendations are being coded in PROLOG. Program
development is being done for Windows, however there are future plans to
port the software to other operating systems.
Previous to my work on NED, I was a Digital Remote Sensing analyst for
Lockheed's Spatial Analysis Laboratory. Lockheed is the major contractor
with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Advanced Monitoring Systems
Laboratory, in Las Vegas. The work I was involved in used satellite imagery
to produce land cover maps. The main software packages I worked with included
ARC/INFO, ERDAS, and PCI.
My formal education includes a Bachelor's degree in Biology with an
emphasis on Terrestrial Ecology from Grand
Valley State University, earned in 1978. I returned to college and
earned a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Michigan
Technological University in the spring of 1987. I became interested
in Remote Sensing because it allowed me to combine my interests in Ecology
with my technical background in Computer Science. I went on to earn my
Master's degree in Forestry in the spring of 1989, with an emphasis in
Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing.

Product Description
How do you define evil? Are only humans capable of it or does evil exist in nature? Is there such a thing as sin? And what does any of this have to do with evolution? Questions like these get particularly interesting when a scientist and a theologian collaborate on the answers. Martinez Hewlett and Ted Peters explore the facts and the ideology that surround questions of good versus evil, competition versus cooperation, nature versus nurture. The coming together of science and theology may be at the core of a new model of cooperation. Peters puts it this way: "The grandeur and the magnificence of the universe is overwhelming to the human mind. Science must treat this neutrally, that is to say without value. But the theologian can't treat it without value. God loves this world. This is precious to God. And somehow or other the valueless and the value laden need to be brought together."
Martinez Hewlett, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus in the departments of medicine and molecular and cellular biology at the University of Arizona, and a member of the editorial board of the journal Theology and Science. Ted Peters, Th.D. is a professor of systematic theology at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. He is the editor of Dialog: A Journal of Theology, and co-editor of Theology and Science. Drs. Hewlett and Peters are co-authors of Evolution From Creation to New Creation (Abingdon Press 2003) and Can You Believe in God and Evolution? A Guide for the Perplexed (Abingdon Press 2006). To learn more about the work of Martinez Hewlett go to www.arizona.edu/mcb. To learn more about the work of Ted Peters go to www.plts.edu
Topics Explored in this Dialogue:
- Why some Christians take issue with evolution more than other scientific principles
- Why the exploitation of nature is a modern phenomenon
- How our current justification for war is similar to Hitler's
- Why many career soldiers believe that war is not the answer
- Why a literal interpretation of the bible may be driven by fear

Princess Shroob
"I am Princess Shroob. You interlopers... WILL BE CONSUMED."
Princess Shroob is the main antagonist of the game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time for the Nintendo DS. She is second in command of the alien race known as the Shroobs (her older sister is the leader), although initially it appears that she is their leader, since Elder Princess Shroob was absent, trapped in the Cobalt Star by Peach. She and her sister set off a full invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom to make it their own.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
Princess Shroob had invaded the Mushroom Kingdom along with her sister Elder Princess Shroob because Planet Shroob was withering. After the Shroobs manage to get inside Princess Peach's Castle, they find Princess Peach, who had traveled back in time with E. Gadd's Time Machine. They attempt to capture her, but before they can, Peach uses the Cobalt Star to imprison Elder Princess Shroob and scatters the shards of the Cobalt Star. After that, the younger Princess Shroob manages to capture Peach.
In Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser, Princess Shroob is seen in a transmission, however she remains hidden in the shadows. From Shroob Castle, she fires a Shroob Missile, aiming for the Koopa Cruiser. Since the Koopa Cruiser was low on ammo, the missile hits the airship and it crashes in Baby Bowser's Castle.Later on, in the Koopaseum, Princess Shroob appears on stage to celebrate the conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom by feeding Princess Peach to Petey Piranha. However, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi interupt her by getting onstage. Princess Shroob then orders the Shrooboid Brat to defeat them. Mario and company eventually defeat the Shrooboid Brat, but after the fight, Princess Shroob breaks a hole under the heroes, and they fall to the underground.
After falling underground, Mario and company set out to rescue Peach in Gritzy Caves. When they reach her, she has a Shroob Mushroom attached to her face. They take her back to Princess Peach's Castle in the future. This princess was actually Princess Shroob, and fools everyone, even Bowser, who kidnaps her believing she is Princess Peach. Bowser brings her to Thwomp Volcano, and after he is defeated by Mario and company, the Shroob Mothership arrives and captures the princess. Mario, Luigi, and their younger selves follow, still believing she is Princess Peach. Once they finally reach the fake Princess Peach, Princess Shroob reveals herself. She is about to get rid of them, but is blasted away by a disguised Kylie Koopa. This victory is short lived when she recovers and then drops Mario and his friends off of the Shroob Mothership.
The four Mario Bros. eventually make their way through a Shroobified Peach's Castle, hijack a Shroob Battleship and engage the Shroob Princess in a dogfight with the Shroob Mothership. After blasting the Shroob Mothership out of the sky the Princess emerges from the wreckage. She appears to have gone mad, declaring Peach useless, the kingdom hers, and that she will destroy them all, shouting "Destroy!" several times. She then enters battle with them.
Entering the battle, she is protected by a levitating force shield that can only be destroyed by jumps. In it she either fires lasers where it is NOT a good idea to for both to jump at the same time unless both pointers are pointed to the ground. The player needs to see which lasers are pointed up or down to avoid. Princess Shroob also has many attacks that can cause status effects. The second attack is to turn her forcefield into a giant spider mech and then jumps onto one of the bros, with the force shield looming overhead. She then shoots lasers onto the brothers that travel straight down and then enclose on the bro., though this can be countered by jumping. Failing to avoid this attack will cause a small amount of damage and is capable of knocking the target off-balance and may cause the trip status effect. Then she attempts to sit on the brother. She will shake the mech three times and then either laugh or go straight down. If she laughs, then the mech will delay before crushing the target. This can be countered by Hammer. This attack can cause dizziness.
After she is out of the mech or rather forced out, she has a couple more attacks. She always teleports madly before using an attack. One attack is to shoot one fast laser ball at a brother. The brothers have to jump. Another is standing in the middle then shooting multiple balls requiring a jump after the other. If she swings her right arm towards Luigi, Mario has to jump then Luigi or the babies, and if she swings her left arm towards Mario, Luigi has to jump, then Mario. Another is to stand above the brothers and throw an energy ball down. If she shoots with her right arm, it is to Luigi, and if she shoots with her left, it is to Mario. It can be countered with the hammer. All of these energy balls can cause Poison. Finally, the last attack is to throw an energy Star that goes around faster and faster and won't stop until it either hits, which can cause random stat decrease, or is stepped on. It eventually goes slower after a while and may go faster again. If she is pointing straight forward, it's to Mario and if pointing down, it's to Luigi.
Once she gets to the halfway point (damage-wise), she glows red, gets stronger, and uses multiple attacks in one turn. Also, the force field does two attacks each turn and regenerates in two turns. The force field can be destroyed or disabled by using the Copy Flower.
After beating the princess, she lies on the floor, near-death. When Baby Bowser puts together the Cobalt Star, she crawls to where the Mario brothers are and shouts that it is her sister's turn now to defeat them. She then dies and, like previous bosses except for Bowser and Baby Bowser, brilliantly explodes.
The Cobalt Star shards are located in many places that Princess Shroob should have been aware of, such as the Vim Factory. It is unknown why she did not attempt to have the Cobalt Star restored and bring her sister back to power.
Super Mario-Kun[edit]
Princess Shroob appears in the Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time adaptions in the Super Mario-Kun manga, serving the same role as she does in the game.
General information[edit]
Powers and Abilities[edit]
Princess Shroob is a formidable foe. Her source of power is unknown, though she demonstrates various energy abilities. Among those enable Princess Shroob to throw energy balls, fly, teleport, and control Stars. Princess Shroob also shows technological skills via the use of her throne. She also seems to be a great Master (Or in her case, Mistress) of disguise as she had everyone fooled into making her think she was the real Princess Peach.
The Princess is shown to have a vindictive, sadistic personality and takes joy in the pain of others, as shown when she laughs when the Koopa Cruiser is shot down and how she mercilessly feeds Princess Peach to Petey Piranha (though feeding the Princess to the monstrous Piranha Plant could have been just for show, as she had Peach spat back up, meaning she saw usefulness in the Princess). She kept Peach unharmed for the majority of the game because she needed her in order to take over the Mushroom Kingdom in the future, and even destroy the Mario bros (And possibly because she believed Peach knew where the Last Cobalt Shard was). She seems to have a vengeful side, as when Mario, Luigi, and their infant selves destroyed her Mothership, Princess Shroob grew insane and attacked in hopes of destroying them. Although she has a big sister who cares about her, she didn't seem to bother looking for the Cobalt shards, nor showed any indication that she intended to do so, though it's possible she had them guarded and wanted to wait until the Kingdom was fully conquered before freeing her sister. Princess Shroob seems to care more about her people than Elder Princess Shroob does.
