Shortly after the Wayfarer Flight 515 disaster, two cartel killers known as The Cousins slip into New Mexico after killing an entire clandestine convoy to avenge the death of their cousin, Tuco Salamanca. Their target: "Heisenberg."
Walter is forced to move to an apartment and comes clean about manufacturing meth to Skyler White, who promises not to divulge his criminal activities if he grants her a divorce and keeps his distance. Jesse Pinkman, meanwhile, emerges from rehab changed by Jane Margolis's death. "I'm the bad guy," he tells Walt, who has quite a different self-image: "I am not a criminal," Walt tells Gustavo Fring, declining the businessman's offer of $3 million to cook meth for three months ("No Más").
Using help from Saul Goodman, Jesse manages to buy his house back from his parents, who paid several hundred dollars to reform the house. The Cousins meet with their uncle, Hector "Tio" Salamanca, to get information about Tuco's killer. At the same time, Saul hires Mike Ehrmantraut to bug the White Family residence to find out if Skyler told anyone about Walt's secret.
Walt defies Skyler and breaks into his own home to move back in. When the Cousins come calling, Mike, who just finished bugging Walt's house, spots their arrival and alerts Gus. The Cousins are called for a meeting and they let Walt (who is totally unaware of everything) live another day ("Caballo Sin Nombre").
Meanwhile, Skyler calls the police to oust Walt but can't bring herself to incriminate him. Since she can't get Walt out of the house, she retaliates by sleeping with her boss, Ted Beneke. Gus calls a meeting with the Cousins and their cartel boss, Juan Bolsa, who agrees to postpone vengeance until Gus ties up his business with Walt ("I.F.T.").
Upon learning that Jesse is cooking on his own, Gus purchases meth from Jesse and gives half the money due to Jesse to Walt to compel him back into the business. When Walt resurfaces to return the money, Gus unveils a state-of-the-art superlab he's constructed beneath an industrial laundromat.
Hank Schrader pursues the "Heisenberg" investigation despite being reassigned to El Paso, but a break in the case complicates matters. Short of cash on his way back from a cook, Jesse barters meth for gas. Hank finds a security camera tape that caught the RV at the gas station, he believes the RV is used as a mobile lab and starts a new investigation ("Green Light").
Walt rebuffs Gus again, lamenting the loss of his family. "A man provides," Gus lectures, "even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved." Convinced, Walt begins cooking alongside Gale Boetticher, a fastidious assistant installed by Gus, and then moves back out of the house. Meanwhile, Hank connects Jesse to the RV, and the RV to Jesse's deceased longtime friend, Christian "Combo" Ortega, a small time drug dealer who was killed while selling Blue Sky Meth ("Mandala").
When Hank calls Walt asking if Jesse had an RV, Walt arranges to have the vehicle demolished at a junkyard. Brandon "Badger" Mayhew tips off Jesse, who races to stop Walt, and, unbeknownst to him, Hank follows.
While Walt and Jesse huddle inside the RV, Saul's secretary, impersonating a police officer, tells Hank that Marie Schrader's been in an accident. Hank leaves the junkyard, and by time he realizes he's been fooled, the RV is destroyed. Gus meets with the Cousins in the desert, revealing that Tuco's killer is actually the DEA agent Hank Schrader, he then gives the two hitmen permission to kill Hank: "May his death satisfy you" ("Sunset").
Hank, infuriated by the fact that Jesse supposedly knows who his wife is, brutally attacks Jesse in retaliation and gets suspended from the DEA. In the hospital, Jesse plots legal action against Hank. To placate Jesse, Walt convinces Gus to fire Gale and hire Jesse instead.
Later, an anonymous caller warns Hank about an imminent attack. Hank spots the Cousins. In the ensuing clash, Hank is shot multiple times but manages to kill one cousin and gravely injure the other ("One Minute").
To Walt's horror, Gus makes an appearance at the hospital where Hank is being treated. While consoling Marie, Gus recalls meeting Hank at the DEA and seeing the donation jar for Walt's surgery. Gus then tells Walt privately, "I investigate everyone with whom I do business." As Gus departs, the surviving Cousin flat-lines. Amid the commotion, Mike discards a syringe and slips away. In Mexico, Federales attack Bolsa's compound and gun down the Cartel boss ("I See You").
Walt requests a meeting with Gus to postulate that he was the Cousins' real target and that Gus protected him as part of an effort to undermine the cartel. Walt leaves with a $15 million meth production deal and a guarantee of his family's safety.
Walt's negotiations coincide with Jesse's increasing dissatisfaction with Gus's operation. Yearning to return to his "outlaw" days, Jesse skims excess meth at the superlab. Badger and Skinny Pete attend Jesse's NA sessions, where they hype the "blue stuff" as a sales tactic.
Hank's injuries leave him paralyzed. After Marie learns that their insurance won't meet Hank's needs, she gets unexpected help from Skyler who offers to cover their bills using money that Skyler claims Walt won "gambling illegally." After this, Skyler tells Walt to do what is right for the family, because she believes Walt is to blame for what hapenned to Hank ("Kafkaesque").
At the superlab, a housefly so obsesses Walt that he stops production. Weary from lack of sleep and sedatives that Jesse has slipped in his coffee, Walt describes the night Jane overdosed as the "perfect moment" for his own death. Walt also reveals his chance meeting with Jane's father ("Fly").
Skyler stakes out a more active role in Walt's criminal life, citing the need to ensure that the money for Hank's treatment is "unimpeachable." At her first meeting with Saul, the two squabble over money laundering schemes. Alone with Walt, she proposes they purchase the car wash where Walt used to work. She will handle the accounting. Jesse hypes the blue meth to a recovering addict named Andrea and discovers that two rival dealers directed her pre-teen brother to kill Jesse's friend, Combo ("Abiquiú").
Jesse wants to poison the dealers to avenge Combo, but him and Walt discover that the dealers actually work for Gus. Jesse wants to kill them anyway, despite Walt's warnings.
Mike visits Walt, he explains how Jesse is compromising the operation and warns Walt that if anything goes south, he is not going to hesitate in "taking a full measure." Walt, fearing for Jesse's life, tips off Gus who forces Jesse to make peace on the condition the dealers no longer use children in their operation.
Later that evening, police discover the murdered body of Andrea's brother.
Jesse drives to the rival dealers' corner. Just as Jesse and the dealers draw their guns, Walt runs over the dealers with his Aztek. One dies on impact and Walt shoots the other dead. Walt tells Jesse to run ("Half Measures").
Walt's intervention infuriates Gus, who reinstates Gale as Walt's assistant while he hunts down Jesse. Walt meets secretly with Jesse to explain his suspicion that Gus plans to kill them once Gale learns to cook the Blue Sky Meth. Walt reasons that he has leverage only if he alone can produce their special formula. They must kill Gale. "I can't do it, Mr. White," says Jesse, who rathers turning to the police than killing at cold blood someone who is totally unaware of what's hapenning.
Walt agrees to kill Gale himself, but before he can act, Mike and Victor escort him to the superlab for an execution. Appearing desperate, Walt offers to give Jesse up, but says he moves around, so he'll need to call him. "They've got me at the laundry, and they're going to kill me," Walt tells Jesse over the phone. "Do it now!" Mike and Victor draw guns. "You might want to hold off," Walt says defiantly. "Your boss is going to need me."
Jesse arrives at Gale's apartment and draws his gun. "You don't have to do this," Gale pleads. Jesse, his eyes tearing, pulls the trigger, the screen fades to black ("Full Measure").

Belo Monte Dam construction site, Isla Pimental, Pará, Brazil in 2011 and 2012.
Photo: Fernando de Cunha
Brazil's 'monster dam' has been under construction for a year now, and the impact is already starting to show on the land and local communities.
Controversy has raged over the Belo Monte Dam in the Amazonian state of Para, Brazil for over two decades.
Indigenous and urban communities fiercely oppose what is due to be the third largest hydroelectric project in the world, requiring more earth to be moved for its construction, than was needed for the Panama Canal.
The contract is worth some $17 billion to the companies involved, including the British firm BHP Billiton, France's Alstom and Brazil's Vale. On the plus side, it will create thousands of jobs, and is seen as a huge economic boost for the region.
Producing green energy for a growing population and economy is a cornerstone of the ruling socialist Workers' Party, led by President Dilma Rousseff. Brazil is a global leader in renewables and over 80 per cent of its own electricity is hydroelectric. For a country with a population close to 200 million, this is a substantial amount of power.
Critics of the dam, however, say the negative social and environmental impacts would greatly outweigh the advantages. This is partly due to the highly seasonal flow of the Xingu River, which reduces to as little as 10 per cent during the dry season.
Belo Monte is in fact three dams, built at various intervals on the 'big bend' of the Xingu. It will flood swathes of virgin rainforest and dry up others, making the area uninhabitable. All this in the heart of the Amazon, the most biodiverse and ecologically important place on the planet.
Socially, Belo Monte will have a huge impact on the indigenous and urban populations in the district. Many have reported receiving very little information about the changes and the options available to them, including compensation.
Up to 25,000 members of tribal communities such as the Arara, Kayapo and Juruna would have to leave their ancestral lands. In 2014, most will have to migrate to urban areas where their traditional lifestyle of hunting, gathering and growing food is simply not possible. This in turn would lead to unemployment, poverty and further swelling of the already populous Brazilian cities.
The indigenous communities continue to battle on. Recent actions include a three-week occupation of the construction site, and taking construction engineers hostage.

US beef war no more than political shadow boxing |
The China Post news staff Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 1:50 pm TWN |
The Legislative Yuan, which adjourned last Friday after a five-day confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties, is all set to start a two-day emergency meeting today. The purpose? Just to pass a Cabinet-sponsored bill to amend the Food Sanitation Act to import U.S. beef and beef products that may contain ractopamine, considered by some to be a health hazard.
The beef war between Taiwan and the U.S. was kicked off three years ago by the Legislative Yuan, which legislated virtual barriers to U.S. beef and beef products that may, by a one-in-million chance, cause bovine spongiform encephalitis or Mad Cow Disease despite a protocol signed between Taipei and Washington to allow the products in. Uncle Sam suspects Taiwan is an unreliable trade partner, and has been pushing Taipei to lift the ban on U.S. ractopamine-containing beef and beef products to reinstitute Taiwan as a reliable one. The ban on ractopamine-containing American beef, which is eaten by the Americans and considered quite, if not perfectly, safe for human consumption, was almost lifted while President Chen Shui-bian was still in office. As a matter of fact, his health minister had told the World Health Organization that beef and beef products containing ractopamine residue lower than the maximum allowable levels would be imported. The ban has continued simply because he wanted to avenge a Washington slur, using it as an excuse for the strong sentiment against the lifting of the ban by the Kuomintang (KMT), which was then in opposition. The KMT, back in power after 2008, had to bear the brunt of the U.S. demands to open up Taiwan's market to the beef, and so has to change sides with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), championing the importation of the bovine products from the U.S. One thing fair to say is that if the DPP were in power it would allow the imports and the KMT in opposition would oppose it, though the KMT would not likely occupy the podium of the Legislative Yuan to prevent the deliberation and a final vote on the amendment bill.
2 Comments June 29, 2012 mr888888888@ I fully agree with the DPP. I think the US government and the KMT are very shortsighted. Many nations are reconsidering their decision to allow this drugged beef into their nation markets. June 30, 2012 carltanong@ Beef noodle soup, the national dish and pride of Taiwan, has many famous Beef Noodle Soups restaurant in San Francisco, USA. Ask the owners and the chefs if those beef are American beef they cooked for noodle soup. Both will say of course it is American beef since they open for business.Now ask those loser the DPP and the TSU when they are in POWER........ _Why NOT then completely BAN the American beef, why NOW? You can ask another question when they are in power... _Why NOT they order all our young man and young woman soldiers to EAT 1/kilo/days of PORK? Why NOW? _ETC. The DPP and the TZU will not answer ur question. Because they know and we know NEXT YEAR is election season. The DPP and the TSU are NOT sincerely concerned for our people's health. They are concerned ONLY with political power to ROB the people. They knew everything we eat today is laced with chemical and drugs. Lastly ask them. Why they are so SILENT and did NOT cry about the radiation leak from the damages of the Japanese nuclear reactors that the daily products of the Japanese foods and drinks are contaminated with radioactive POISON? Why they did not cry BAN? |

The Iranian military has launched a barrage of missiles at "mock enemy bases" as part of a major war games exercise aimed at dissuading any potential outsider attack, the nation's state-run media reported today.
During what is called "The Great Prophet 7" drills, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "targeted and destroyed hypothetical bases of ultra-regional forces set up in desert areas," according to Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency. The reports did not identify the "ultra-regional forces" but alluded to the ongoing diplomatic conflict between Iran and the U.S., which has several major military installations in the region.
"The main aim of this drill was to demonstrate the Iranian nation's political resolve to defend [its] vital values and national interests," IRGC Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami said, according to another state-run news outlet, Press TV. Press TV paraphrased Salami's description of the drills as a "firm response to those who threaten Iran with the option of military action."

Think Bigger. No, Even Bigger Than That
When was the last time you got to sit down and discuss some really big ideas? And not scale big, like Facebook and Twitter. And not even industry-shifting big, like Kickstarter and Simple. No, let's talk even bigger. Asteroid mining. Underwater cities. Teleportation. Radical life extension. Let's free ourselves to imagine a bigger, brighter world, beyond the practical constraints of our daily work. In this conversation, we will throw away all of our pre-conceived notions of what is possible, and talk instead about why we should want these things. We will use our actual brains to think about the world as we want it to be, and along the way, we might just discover some practical paths to get there.

Preliminary space mission design under uncertainty
Croisard, Nicolas and Vasile, Massimiliano and Kemble, Stephen and Radice, Gianmarco (2010) Preliminary space mission design under uncertainty. Acta Astronautica, 66 (5-6). pp. 654-664. ISSN 0094-5765

Vasile_M_Pure_Preliminary_space_mission_design_under_uncertainty_Aug_09.pdf - Preprint Download (472kB) | Preview |
This paper proposes a way to model uncertainties and to introduce them explicitly in the design process of a preliminary space mission. Traditionally, a system margin approach is used in order to take the min to account. In this paper, Evidence Theory is proposed to crystallise the inherent uncertainties. The design process is then formulated as an optimisation under uncertainties(OUU). Three techniques are proposed to solve the OUU problem: (a) an evolutionary multi-objective approach, (b) a step technique consisting of maximising the belief for different levels of performance, and (c) a clustering method that firstly identifies feasible regions.The three methods are applied to the Bepi Colombo mission and their effectiveness at solving the OUU problem are compared.

Despite efforts by the New York Rangers to create a celebratory mood, the premature end of Mike Richter's career as the team's best-ever goaltender on a blue day a couple of weeks ago was anything but joyous. "You know, it's not a great day," lamented Madison Square Garden chairman Jim Dolan. "It's not a happy day at all."
Richter's retirement may portend yet another dismal year for the Blueshirts, whose preseason contests start Friday in Dallas. Injuries to Brian Leetch, Pavel Bure, and backup goalie Dan Blackburn are no way to end the playoff drought, now a baffling six seasons. Bure's cranky knee is no surprise; he was damaged when GM Glen Sather traded for him. Blackburn was headed for steady work in the minors anyway (although with Mike Dunham's own injury history, he might have been back).
But Leetch's absence is a real worry. He went down with a bruised ankle in December, the same ailment sidelining him now, and the Rangers immediately lost eight of their next 10 games. In the 31 games Leetch missed, no one could replace his all-around excellence or his average of 26 minutes of ice time, and the club went 10-18-3. Only six of the NHL's 30 teams allowed more goals last season, and defense remains the Rangers' weakness. Free agent signee Greg de Vries, a solid member of Colorado's blue-line corps, should bring good depth provided he isn't distracted counting his $13 million (!) bounty. But this team still lacks a nasty thumper to complement Leetch. It's no coincidence that since Jeff Beukeboom's career ended in 1999like Richter, from a concussionLeetch hasn't had a regular partner and the Rangers haven't cracked the playoffs. Derian Hatcher would have fit perfectly, but if Sather made an offer, he couldn't offer Stanley Cup contention, which Detroit did. Regardless, without Leetch, the Rangers are going nowhere.

Back on August 29, after the Mets had put together an 11-4 run that was providing a glimmer of hope for a strong finish to their regrettable 2003 campaign, Art Howe sat in his Shea Stadium office and talked about the Mets' potential role as spoilers in the hotly contested NL wild-card race.
"Just about every club we're going up against is in the hunt," said the manager, referring to the fact that 23 of the Mets' final 29 games were coming against the Phillies, Marlins, Cubs, and Expos. As far as the Mets were concerned, said Howe, "These are our playoff games."
Yes, and just as Yankee and Twin fans can tell you all about the ex-A's skipper's track record in the real playoffs the past few years, Met fans have been in the unenviable position of enduring Howe's ever-puzzling managing style in his team's faux-playoffs. From August 29 through September 14, the Mets went a pathetic 1-12 against Philadelphia, Florida, and Montreal, even though they were in most games. The problem was mostly due to Howe's grossly reactive managing approach. The media have basically given him a free ride because of all the injuries (Vaughn, Floyd, Piazza) and sell-offs (Alomar, Burnitz, Benitez) that depleted his troops. Still, with less than two weeks left, we can count his total hit-and-run plays for the season on the fingers of one hand. For a team with such little power, that's inexcusable. Meanwhile, his handling of the Met bullpen since Benitez's departure has been nothing short of bizarre. He's thrown youngsters like Dan Wheeler and Orber Moreno into tight games, then left them in to endure multi-run poundings; in other tight games, he's yanked vets like David Weathers and Mike Stanton after one or two batterswith equally poor results. Call Howe the "IRA manager," as in rolloverand play dead. Billy Altman
And the winners of the Second Annual Cryogenic Baseball Quiz are . . . Des Devlin, Erik Hepler, and Eliot Kieval.
Devlin called Detroit Tiger Randall Simon's sausage-bashing this summer baseball's greatest post-millennial moment. "Surely the Shot Heard Round the Wurst," Devlin wrote in part, "will one day strike down the great subway races, guess-the-year oldies games, spelling bees, Three-Hat Monte cartoons, pneumatic T-shirt fusillades, grounds crew danceathons, and the dozens of other shameful desecrations of the cathedral of baseball."
Hepler noted the "general scumminess" of Bud Selig's congressional testimony, and Kieval voted for the moment when Randy Johnson killed a bird with his fastball.
Honorable mention goes to Otto Von Ruggins, who weighed in on the freezing of Ted Williams; Jake Thomases, who was thrilled by Barry Bonds's 2002 post-season; and Irina Paley, who waxed poetic about the Subway Series.
A complete set of answers will appear on villagevoice.com this week. But for those bursting with curiosity about the Hall of Famer who had a career ERA of 2.90 (better than Steve Carlton's) but a career won-lost record of only 3-4 and a total number of innings pitched of only 102 1/3, the answer is Dave DeBusschere, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Oh, yeah, we also asked who said, "I grew up in the 1960s, and I think I could tell by looking in a guy's eyes if he was smoking dope." The answer: Bobby Valentine. Allen St. John

Small Business Feature: Design in a Bag
I promised to bring you more small business features/tips so I am excited to introduce the first featured designer:) A new company with a brilliant concept! Welcome Rebekah from Design in a Bag...
About Design In A Bag
Prêt-à-porter for your kitchen and bath projects, Design In A Bag introduces collections of professionally coordinated and proven kitchen and bath design recipes, offering the expertise, access and eye of an interior designer without the price tag. Unlike other prêt interior design services, Design In A Bag allows you to browse online galleries of coordinated kitchen and bath looks – each carefully designed and crafted by Rebekah Zaveloff, an HGTV contributor and the creative force behind Chicago's preeminent kitchen and bath interior design firm KitchenLab – and delivers selected complete concepts including cabinet, countertop, tile and paint samples, shopping list and hand-drawn renderings direct to your door. Taking the guesswork out of putting together a cohesive look for your kitchen or bath project, consumers can touch, see and experience the materials in their home, bringing the showroom and interior designer directly to you.
Carting bags of finish materials around to client's homes and arranging palettes of different materials on their countertops, encouraging them to live with them for a while before making a decision…and the moment when clients started carting their own samples around as well, whether to show friends and family or to help in finalizing other materials when visiting showrooms.
What helped get the idea off the ground?
A slow-down in business due to the recession gave us the extra time we needed to really get things going in full force. We had conceived and trademarked the idea years earlier, but hadn't had time to start designing the website and figuring out the bells and whistles. My sister did the logo and helped us with the first version of the website design. Thankfully she started her full time job and finished grad school AFTER we had finished phase one of the website! Also, when we shared the idea, people's enthusiasm was so tangible that we knew we had to give it a shot!
Where do you pull the inspiration for the color, textile, and detail choices in the themes?
It's completely organic and stream of consciousness. I've always loved hard surface materials…I started my creative career in sculpture and collage. I love the way materials speak to each other when juxtaposed. I don't look at any one material and think "that would go nice with yellow". I literally move materials around until I come up with a combination that pleases me. It's so much fun to come up with different combinations – I can express different sides of my personality and taste. I can be modern, sophisticated, colorful, vintage, eclectic, neutral…the combinations and moods are endless. It's all about what works together on a gut instinct level.
13 comments:
Thanks so much, Anna, for a great interview and post. I'm thrilled to be included in your small business featured designer section! Great to share your readers, and the comments are so sweet - thanks everyone! We're plugging away at getting this business off the ground and appreciate all the support and feedback!

That being said, we invite you to post below and discuss the difficult aspects of the game, even if you do not yet have the platinum trophy in your collection.
When you post, give more than just a number. Give reasons why you feel the game is easy or hard. What parts of the game are easy or hard? Were there collectibles? Were they a pain? Is there a required online component? How easy or hard is the online portion? What is the most frustrating part about the game?
Once you have obtained the platinum trophy, feel free to return to this thread and post your official vote. Say something to the effect of "I give this a 2 because there was only one tough spot and the collectibles were easy to find". At this point, you may also add your vote to the poll.
The poll is public, meaning everyone can see how you vote.

Total Awards: 373 - Moderate. Really it's like a 2.7. A few spots are actually challenging and getting two kills with one curved bullet is annoying and somewhat luck-based (you need two guys to be close enough and in the right spots relative to one another). Curving bullets never gets old, but the slow-mo thing does after a while.
Note that the German version is slightly different than the US version but likely won't be getting it's own difficulty thread. The German version is slightly easier though, fyi.

2 Easy This wasn't hard at all but only some of the slow motion sequences can be a little tough. Also requires 2 playthroughs but still easy game and fast plat.
10-14-2011 #4
Easy-Hard mode was hardly hard, and I can't actually remember there being any particularly challenging trophies, though it seemed a bit heavy on the collectibles side

EASY for me as i thought it would be moderate to at least get it done on hard mode, yet i was sadly mistaken. I was hoping for some challenge aside from getting x amount of kills with each type of shot (curved bullet, exploding bullet, etc.). Still, the game was fun and i would recommend it to others should they ask about it.

Very Easy.
Nothing in this game was at all hard.

What do I got to say about this game, I play this game in 4 days, beat the campaign on assassin and the killer in a day, nothing in this game is hard!
02-11-2012 #9
EASY, can be platinumed in two days only hard parts were the slow mo scquences. Fun game they should make a sequel.
02-11-2012 #10
Easy and a surprisingly fun game...
02-11-2012 #11
This game was torture to play, super duper explodey hard.
08-11-2012 #12
Easy...Sometimes the Slow Mo can suck. Playing Act 9 5 times got real old.
08-28-2012 #13
This platinum is super easy, it tooks to beat the game two times.. and all the time you will spend will be about 5 hours.
The collectibles are super easy to find, and if you miss someone you have the possibility to know what have you missed.
09-05-2012 #14
Voted Easy. Few parts took me a few tries thats why I voted easy. I enjoyed the game and thought it was fun. It did get kind of boring replaying the last chapter several times but other then that a solid movie game. Loved the curving bullets.
08-07-2013 #15
I voted it a 3. Some places can be difficult...and challenging. If you use the cheat codes...then I could see this being a 1 or a 2.

Total Awards: 10Very Eas - Very easy plat to earn, some areas on The Killer difficulty might give you problems. The bullet dodge sequences especially on the airplane mission on Killer can be frustrating due to the unmarked bullets blending into background. Doing the last mission 5 times was a little tedious for the time trial and other gold trophies. Overall a fun and easy movie based plat.

It's a sad reflection on a writer to go a month without posting a single new sentence on her blog. It's not that there's been a dearth of ideas or issues for me to comment on. There have been too many: Like the professor-turned-alleged-murderer in Alabama who long ago left the Boston area but who's remained a constant story in local weeklies and dailies lately, as if her life among us connected us to the tragedy.
Or the other horrendous earthquake in Chile which happened only a month after Haiti's. Or the more recent news of the first woman in Academy history to win an Oscar for best director—of a war movie, no less. Or the unthinkable massacres between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, a story largely off the radar of most news outlets, its details so grim that they seem to get bumped instead for coverage of, say, a Utah senator's resignation over a sex 'scandal' that happened 25 years ago. Not to mention the story of another actor overdosing on prescription drugs, or that of a California straight-A high school senior murdered, the ubiqutious health care debate, or the cooking classes that have seen an increase in enrollment because of the recession. The landscape of news this past month has been strange indeed.
And to be honest, sometimes it's too much too take in. With so many stories—of terrible, inspiring or absurd news—so accessible to us each day, I confess that the glut leaves my thinking fragmented. These aren't new issues in humankind—it's just that we know about them now instantly, thanks (or not) to the Internet. And that can feel overwhelming, to the point of leaving a writer clueless of which story to respond to, her brain almost frozen like a statue.
But one recent story (I came across in the print version of my local paper) is finally worth noting, a model piece of reporting that simply and patiently told a story I needed to hear. It lifted me out of the paralyzing blur of the media to remind me of one simple truth: families still make room for their elderly members, quite literally by building new rooms on their houses. It had dignity, compelling writing, and mostly, staying power, the kind of story that makes you stop and actually reflect, the kind I think we all could use more of. It's worth a read for that reason alone—to stop and reflect—and I hope you will: In Peabody, In-Law Aparments Popular.

Big Plans
Hullo peeps,
Back in May 2012, we relocated our fam (which at the time consisted of Grover, Hershey, a one year old T and a burgeoning baby bump ... "burgeoning" is a weird word) to my childhood home. It's a lovely location, the house has good bones and lots of space, and it is a perfect place to raise kids IMHO. I don't have to worry about crime or T getting run over by a moped, there's tons of fresh air, we're a mile from a lake, and there's wildlife (which I fully intend to capture and domesticate). It's paradise.
The problem is, the house was built in the '70s. You know what that means? It was decorated in the '70s.

Easy Crochet Drawstring Bag {POTM}
Hullo fellow hookers!
March's free crochet pattern of the month is this versatile drawstring bag. You can make this as big or as small as you like, make it in multiple colors, use different ribbons, add appliques, et cetera. You can stuff it with candy (EASTER!), toys, treats, craft stuff, live reptiles ...
When I say versatile, I mean it!
Cute, no?
I used a G hook, Red Heart Super Saver yarn in what I believe is Light Blue, and approximately 2.5 feet of ribbon.

Crazy Brain
Hi peeps,
I made over some built-in bookcases a few days ago (I'll share pictures later) and really, really, REALLY wanted to put a brain in a jar on it. Not a real brain, mind you. That would be gross ... and may require me to murder and dissect someone.
Too messy.
Instead, I crocheted one.
I'm not sure
exactly I wanted a tiny brain in a jar (Grover would probably say one of my other multiple personalities told me I needed it), but something did.

the bottom line
When it started I guess the free outings and having sex with both was exciting and fun to have a married couple wanting you, in a way I carnt blame her for being selfish with him, obviously she can see your love for him is a threat and she dosent want to lose him to you,
over time you have become their willing bisexual sex slave, however your fantasy of you and him being together has taken over your mind, you need to understand, being their sex slave is all you will ever be, its the way they both want it otherwise things would have changed by now if he felt the same way as you. besides he has to much to lose and nothing to gain except your pussy, and he and his wife get that for free so why change? I think you need your own man in your life, one that is openminded who will encourage you to enjoy your oral passions alone with another girl, or alone with him, or experiance the joy of all sleeping together and waking up together, but in your situation its never going to happen, your just their sex slave. Some girls love being in a sex slave situation, but obviously its not for you. you want a future with your own man. my last bi-girlfriend was a dedicated proffesional in her field and was transfered across country, when her girlfriend stayed the night to have a three some with us, I would get up first to make coffee for us all, to walk in the bedroom and see them curled up naked in each others arms sleeping like babys, so at peace with themselves is so precious, and the joy on their faces when they woke up and their wamness towards me is irriplacable, thats why I can never be with strait closed minded jealous females anymore, a girl that can love a man and loves eating pussy as much as i do and willing to share a girl together are precious, so I dont think you would have a problem replacing your sex master and his jealous wife that are mentaly hurting you, you need to start thinking positive about geting out of this dead end, thinking about yourself and your own needs. not theirs. Most important is NOT geting involved with a closed minded man, your wonderful oral skills and need for both man and woman will be rejected, you need an openminded man to encourage you, a man who understands your attraction and need to oral a willing female is now part of who you are as a person, not looked upon as cheating or some deathly sin but as a wonderful gift that you bring to your relationship.
The fact you came hear tells me I know you will do well, life will change for you.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank well-wishers with postcards
Since announcing their happy baby news Kate Middleton and Prince William have been inundated with messages of congratulations.
In response, the royal couple, who are expecting their first child in July, have sent specially created thank you cards to well-wishers. St James's Palace confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had been sending the postcards, which features a photo of the couple from their Jubilee tour to Singapore which they chose themselves.
On the reverse side is a message from William and Kate which reads "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were touched by your kind words following the wonderful news that they are expecting their first baby. It really was most thoughtful of you and Their Royal Highnesses send you their warmest thanks and best wishes."
The postcard also bears the pregnant Duchess' 'C' cypher.
Long before the 31-year-old Duchess fell pregnant, gifts from supporters were already flying in. An official gift-list released by the Palace in January showed that William and Kate received a host of baby clothes and toys throughout 2012.
Whilst on tour to Singapore, Malaysia, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu the royal couple received traditional children's games, drawings, soft toys and dolls and during their official UK visits they were also given clothes, baby grows and booties.

When I was at the NYPL a few weeks ago, I found the 1875 NYS Census of the Toner family.
Thomas Loughlin, 34, caulker
Eliza Loughlin, 18
Richard Toner, 49, painter
Julia Toner, 46
Mary A. Toner, 21
Louisa Toner, 17
John Toner, 15
Julia Toner, 8
The apparent errors here are Julia Toner, 46, and John Toner, 15. The wife/mother of this family was Mary, not Julia - but I've ceased to be surprised when one of the Toners is incorrectly called Julia. Pretending to be named Julia must have been their favorite hobby - unless this name is a clue to something bigger that I'm just looking right past? The son who would have been 15 in 1875 - indeed, the only son who had survived to 1875 - was named William.
Elizabeth Toner married Thomas Loughlin in 1874. Both here and in 1892, the Loughlins are living with Elizabeth's parent(s). In 1875, they live with both Toners and all of Elizabeth's siblings; in 1892, the Loughlins and their children living with Elizabeth's mother, Mary Tonner.
The Toners have a reliable presence in census records as well as newspapers from 1860 to about 1875, and then everything goes wacky. I can't find anyone but the Loughlins in the 1880 census. In the 1892 NYS Census, the Loughlins are back, this time with Elizabeth's mother Mary Toner living with them - but no mention of any of her other children. I can find Mary Ann Toner married to Thomas Murphy and living with their children, but that's all. Richard is presumably dead. Julia is gone until 1900, and her soon-to-be-husband is single when he's enumerated with his relatives - they didn't marry until the next year. Louisa never again appears in census records that I've seen, but doesn't die until 1918, at which point her death certificate indicated that she had been living uninterrupted in New York City for her entire life. William doesn't appear to show up in 1880 or 1892, but was also apparently a life-long resident of NYC when he died in 1899. Where did they all go?

Hi I need to de-install Visual Studio 2005 on a box that has SQL 2005 on it. VS2005 was part of the SQL 2005 install from the SQL2005 CD. If I de-install and re-install VS2005, will it cause issues with SQL 2005? Also, does anyone know of a map or diagram showing the boundaries of VS2005 & Sql 2005 and how they interract? Thanks, SD.
when you install SQL 2005 , VS BI Development Studio is Installed. If you uninstall Vs2005, only the BI Development Studion will be uninstall. VS 2005 allows you to create Database Applications, SSIS Packages, Reporting Services Project.
Unless you are using SQL Server compact edition you wouldn't have any problem in uninstalling the VS2005 when SQL 2005 is also associated on that server, also within Reporting Services the ReportViewer control is built on the same reporting technology as Reporting Services, it is distributed as a data control in Visual Studio 2005. You can use the control with Reporting Services, or as an embedded data control that provides rich reporting functionality.

You see it every season. Since the 12-team playoff format was adopted in 1990, at least four clubs made the playoffs that were not in the postseason the previous year.
Entering Week 4, seven NFL teams remain undefeated, including four clubs that failed to qualify for the 2012 playoffs – Chicago, Kansas City, Miami and New Orleans.
While no guarantee, wins early in the season lay a foundation for future success – 75.4 percent of teams (86 of 114) that started 3-0 since 1990 made the playoffs.
In the AFC, the turnaround efforts by the Chiefs (2-14 in 2012) and Dolphins (7-9) have been impressive.
Last Thursday night, Kansas City defeated Philadelphia 26-16 to remain undefeated, becoming the fifth team in NFL history to start a season 3-0 after losing 14 or more games the previous season.
The teams to start 3-0 after finishing the previous season with 14 losses:
Detroit | 1980 | 2-14 | 4-0 | 9-7 |
Carolina | 2002 | 1-15 | 3-0 | 7-9 |
San Diego | 2001 | 1-15 | 3-0 | 5-11 |
San Francisco | 1980 | 2-14 | 3-0 | 6-10 |
Kansas City | 2013 | 2-14 | 3-0* | ??? |
* Active streak | | | | |
"We try to get better every day," says Chiefs safety ERIC BERRY. "We're trying to take this team to the top. We're just going to keep putting in the work, day in and day out."
Kansas City will host the New York Giants in Week 4 and aims to become the second team in NFL history to start a season 4-0 after finishing the previous season with at least 14 losses. Only the 1980 Detroit Lions have accomplished the feat.
One key factor for the club has been playing mistake-free football. Through Week 3, Kansas City owns the best turnover ratio ( 9) in the NFL. The Chiefs are one of two teams yet to commit a turnover in 2013 (Tennessee) and can tie the 1995 St. Louis Rams (four games) for the longest streak without a turnover to begin a season in NFL history.
"It is hard to win games in the National Football League," says Kansas City head coach ANDY REID. "We still have a lot of season left. There is no time to relax on what you have done, you just have to continue to build and get better."
Miami is off to its first 3-0 start since 2002, winning back-to-back games against 2012 playoff participants in the past two weeks. The Dolphins earned a 24-20 road victory against Indianapolis in Week 2 and followed with a 27-23 win at home against Atlanta in Week 3.
"We have a special team, a team with a lot of talent," says Miami wide receiver BRIAN HARTLINE. "We're going to continue to improve. The sky's the limit."
Miami has relied heavily on its opportunistic defense, which ranks second in the AFC with five interceptions, and the standout play of second-year quarterback RYAN TANNEHILL, who orchestrated the fourth game-winning fourth-quarter drive of his career against the Falcons.
With the Dolphins trailing 23-20 with 4:46 remaining, Tannehill led Miami on a 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that culminated with a touchdown pass to rookie tight end DION SIMS with 38 seconds left in the fourth quarter to seal the Dolphins' victory.
"Expectations will continue to rise," says Hartline, who had an 18-yard TD catch against Atlanta. "And high expectations bring out the best in you. We welcome it."
Miami, which aims for its first 4-0 start since 1995, will face undefeated New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Monday Night Football in Week 4.
"What people love about the NFL," says New Orleans Saints quarterback DREW BREES, "is that every game, every week, no matter who is playing, anything can happen. So many games come down to that last possession."
That has certainly been the case this season. Through the first three weeks, there have been eight games in which a team was trailing and scored the game-winning points in the final minute of the fourth quarter. That is the most such games through the first three weeks of a season since at least the 1970 merger.
1 | New England | Buffalo | Field goal | 0:05 | W 23-21 |
1 | New York Jets | Tampa Bay | Field goal | 0:02 | W 18-17 |
2 | Buffalo | Carolina | Touchdown | 0:02 | W 24-23 |
2 | Chicago | Minnesota | Touchdown | 0:10 | W 31-30 |
2 | New Orleans | Tampa Bay | Field goal | 0:00 | W 16-14 |
3 | Cleveland | Minnesota | Touchdown | 0:51 | W 31-27 |
3 | Miami | Atlanta | Touchdown | 0:38 | W 27-23 |
3 | Tennessee | San Diego | Touchdown | 0:15 | W 20-17 |
In six of those eight games, the winning points were scored in the final 10 seconds.
"That's football," says Brees, whose team came from behind to defeat Tampa Bay in Week 2 with a field goal as time expired. "That's why we love it. And that's why we never give up. We always feel like we have a chance to win."
Adding to the excitement is that in five of the eight contests, the game-winning points were scored via touchdown.
"A lot of games in this league come down to the end," says Buffalo Bills running back FRED JACKSON, whose team scored the game-winning touchdown with two seconds remaining in the Bills' Week 2 victory over Carolina.
A look at the five games this season in which a team was trailing and scored a game-winning touchdown in the final minute of the fourth quarter:
Week 2: Buffalo 24, Carolina 23. Trailing 23-17, Bills rookie quarterback EJ MANUEL throws a two-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver STEVIE JOHNSON with two seconds remaining.
Week 2: Chicago 31, Minnesota 30. Trailing 30-24, Bears quarterback JAY CUTLER throws a 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end MARTELLUS BENNETT with 10 seconds remaining.
Week 3: Cleveland 31, Minnesota 27. Trailing 27-24, Browns quarterback BRIAN HOYER throws a seven-yard touchdown pass to tight end JORDAN CAMERON with 51 seconds remaining.
Week 3: Miami 27, Atlanta 23. Trailing 23-20, Dolphins quarterback RYAN TANNEHILL throws a one-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end DION SIMS with 38 seconds remaining.
Week 3: Tennessee 20, San Diego 17. Trailing 17-13, Titans quarterback JAKE LOCKER throws a 34-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver JUSTIN HUNTER with 15 seconds remaining.
