Painkiller delivers unmatched level and character design, together
with adrenaline-rush style gameplay. You'll be constantly attacked by
hordes of monsters, while being driven forward by objectives and a deep,
gothic storyline. Painkiller is expected to ship in November this year
for PC only, with an expected Xbox version sometime in 2004.
You play as Daniel Garner, a seemingly regular guy who as just been
killed in a horrific car accident. Trapped in a dark and unwelcoming
world between heaven and hell, you struggling to uncover the reasons
why youve been denied entry into heaven. Awaiting your purification,
you must fight through a seemingly endless number of demon soldiers
as you to attempt to stop an imminent unholy war.
The proprietary PAIN Engine puts out 100X the polygons of the latest
shooters, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting
and shadowing techniques. Plug in the Havok 2.0 physics engine, and
you get a realistic environment in a totally fantastical setting. The
game features 24 single-player levels, each entirely unique with virtually
no texture reuse between levels. The average level is 350,000 polygons,
and also incorporates advanced vertex and pixel shaders, including water,
glass, volumetric lights and fog, etc.
Painkiller's Multiplayer mode is powered by GameSpy for in-game and
external server browsing. We're currently targeting 32-player servers
with the following 5 modes:
1) Deathmatch - The objective in Deathmatch is to kill as many opponents
as possible. The player is on his own, playing in "me against the
world" fashion.
2) Team Deathmatch - A mutation of Deathmatch, in which the competition
is between teams made up of a number of players, trying to outkill the
other teams.
3) People Can Fly - A modification of Deathmatch 1 on 1. In this mode
both players have only the Rocket Launchers. The damage to the other
player can be done only when he is airborne: it can be done by shooting
the rocket exactly under the enemy's feet.
4) Voosh - Voosh is a multiplayer mode in which each player has the
same weapon. After a certain period of time each player's weapon is
switched to either the next in line (set by the server), or a random
one.). All weapons have infinite ammo.
5) The Light Bearer - This mode assumes that Quad Damage never wears
off. The first player who takes the Quad, can use it as long as he stays
alive. Also, with every successful frag, the player gets +10 HP. When
he is dead, he drops the Quad, and another player can pick it up. The
winner is a person who has the Quad at the end of the game. However,
every time someone picks up the Quad, the limit time is raised by 30
seconds, to make it possible for other players to get their chance.


text: This is an info gathering question for those who know about nadiring and such as opposed to a true Warre Hive question. If I add a new brood box to my hive (nadir an empty, foundationless box below the current brood nest) and also add a shallow super (with foundation) above, how will the bees react? Would they go up first, building comb and storing honey or brood (depending on the use of a QX or not), or would they go down and build out comb on the foundationless frames for brood first? Assuming they are both in need of expansion space and there is a flow going on. I'm not going to a true Warre Hive situation, at least not yet (AHB area), but am looking at various beekeeping ways. It's all so intriguing! Thanks for any insights. FreyaFL

About Me
Hi, my name is Julia Passamonti-Colamartino, thanks for dropping by and checking out my page.
I am a bilingual Italian-American and I am a full time artist and healer. Each piece that I create is very special, because it is imbued with sacred healing energy. To me, creating art is a sacred process in that Source Energy is channeled through my body, expressing itself through my hands and into my work. I often enter into a theta state as I create, and am unaware of the many hours that pass as I make each piece. (For more on this, I invite you to read one of my favorite and I think best books ever written on the power of the subconscious mind, "The Genie Within"by Harry W. Carpenter.)
I was born an artist and have been an ancient history buff all my life, having started out as an oil portrait artist working in the style of the old Italian and Dutch Renaissance Masters. But I also love the malleability and timelessness of clay just as much, and have found a way to combine both my joy of painting and my love of ancient history by reproducing ancient vessels as well as doing portraits and fantasy oil paintings in the old style.
The Venetian Cat Studio began in 2004 with a gift of patronage from my mother, Camille Passamonti, who is a talented portrait artist and also a lover of ancient history.
My passion for things ancient began as a child upon seeing the movie Ben Hur, and later during a visit to Italy , the Colosseum in Rome , where I felt myself transported to a time when gladiators fought in the arena. Also, I was particularly drawn to the Greek and Roman pottery in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts where my mother frequently brought me, because the ancient works felt very familiar.
I have worked in oils and clay ever since I first saw pottery being decorated in Italy when I was nine, and it has taken me over to thirty years to understand how Italian painting, Italian pottery (maiolica) and ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman pottery were produced; however, I am learning new things all the time through the information and feedback that I get from my wonderful customers.
I enjoy painting as much as throwing pots, and it gives me an infinite blank canvas upon which to create. I'm not only an artist as is known today, but as one of times long past. I combine ancient techniques along with today's wonderful modern technology to create my work. I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design and have completed a 2 year course of study in herbology.
My studio is in East Wakefield, New Hampshire, where I get to play with clay and paints and reside with my husband, plants and herbs and a small herd of 5 cats.

Summer is finally here and I'm so happy to be able to tell my kids "go outside and play!" Some of this month's activity ideas come from I Love Dirt! 52 Activities to help you and your kids discover the wonders of nature, by Jennifer Ward.
Next time you're taking a walk outside, playing on the beach or going for a hike, do some rock investigating. Make it a scavenger hunt and see if you can find…
sharp rock, flat rock, crumbly rock, bumpy rock, rough rock, smooth rock, shiny rock, dull rock, rock with speckles, rock with stripes, multi-colored rock, rock with only one color...
Older children can make comparisons in appearance and texture. Perhaps even work in a lesson about the types of rocks (book suggestions to follow). Younger children can play making paths or laying out circles or squares to indicate houses or a fort, even a whole town if their imagination soars!
If you're bringing home a bucket of rocks, break out the paint and brushes and make a paperweight or, if you find some larger rocks, even a bookend. Crafting with Kids: Creative fun for children aged 3-10, by Catherine Woram has some cute ideas for painting stones, that include ladybug paperweights and a very cool frog bookend (pick up at least one large rock, the size of your hand, for this project).
Another great idea for exploring nature is to hand your child a magnifying glass and let them get really close to nature. This is a nice boredom buster on a day that going out in the backyard may not seem so exciting. Pick a small area on a tree trunk, a sidewalk crack, under a rock, between blades of grass and see what treasures lurk! This might be a great activity to do in conjunction with this summer's movie "Epic", featuring miniature people and talking bugs.
Decorate your room with your name in stick letters! This idea comes from Step-by-Step Crafts for Summer by Kathy Ross.
Enough twigs/branches to form the letters of your name
Newspaper for your work surface
Foamies, flowers, buttons, glitter, paint, chenille stems (pipe cleaners) or anything else you'd like to decorate your letters
Glue gun or craft glue
Gather up a pile of sticks that are similar in width. Long sticks can be broken into smaller pieces, or look for curved sticks for curly letters or even forked sticks for the letter Y. At home, lay out some newspapers to keep your work space clean. Break sticks as need to shape out your letters and lay them out. Ask a grownup to help you with a glue gun to form the letters. Decorate however you like and you can twist chenille stems around the top of the letters to make hangers. A small thumbtack on each letter should be enough to hang on the wall. Names with a lot of curly letters may be difficult, but try other words like HELLO or HI or PEACE or whatever inspires you!

Greetings . . .
How do you treat V&T-mites in an Observation Hive?
Just curious,
Dave W
I'm fogging mine from the tube outside.
Does the fog collect on the glass?
Do you use cords?
My observation hive are all small cell bees and I fog from the tube. I do not use cords. It would be too much work to haul it outside all the time. No, it does not leave any residue. The fog doesn't really leave a residue at all that I can see. I think people picture a thick layer of FGMO over everything and really it's imperceptable.
Does the fog penetrate vents, cracks, etc.?
Why fog small-cell bees?
I just started regressing this spring so I was fogging until things got established. I'm still a bit paranoid about the mites.
Yes, the fog comes through the vents and cracks into the house. I try not to fog too much so there isn't much and I always warn the people in the living room.

Women's History Month -became a national celebration when Congress passed a law in 1981. That same year, Sandra Day O'Connor was nominated to be the first female Justice to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Justice O'Connor's inspirational career cemented her place in history and paved the way for future generations of women.
I celebrated Women's History Month in an extraordinary way. First, I interviewed Justice O'Connor during lunch at a restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We talked about her career and her current projects. Click here to read our Q&A. Then, I traveled to the National Constitution Center (NCC) to tour the museum's interactive exhibits. They are all designed to teach visitors about the Constitution and inspire acts of citizenship. Finally, I attended a talk given by Justice O'Connor about the Supreme Court, its history and her new book, Out of Order: Stories from the History of the Supreme Court.
Celebrating Women in History
While many people are familiar with Justice O'Connor, there are many unsung women heroes in American history. The NCC was a wonderful place to learn more about the struggles and triumphs of women who worked to gain equality as citizens. At the museum, I learned about many of these women for the first time.
One of my first stops at the NCC was the American National Tree, a towering display of touch screens that show photos and stories of 100 people that made an impact on our constitutional history. Here, I was introduced to the life of Dr. Mary Walker, one of the country's first female physicians. She later disguised herself as a man and volunteered to serve the Union Army in the Civil War. Today, she remains the only woman to receive the Medal of Honor.
The NCC also features a wall that tells the story of our Constitution with a timeline that reminds visitors that our history is shaped by millions of individual actions. The exhibit is encased in reflective glass to remind us that "We the People" will chart future history. Here, I discovered Alice Paul, one of the important leaders who helped pass the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
A special temporary exhibit called American Spirits covers the rise and fall of Prohibition, when the Constitution was amended to outlaw alcohol. Later, the amendment was repealed. Here, I learned about Assistant U.S. Attorney Mabel Walker Willebrandt. In that role, she was the highest-ranking woman in the federal government. Some called her the "First Lady of Law" because she handled tens of thousands of cases during the Prohibition era.
"It's critically important that everybody understand how government works and how we're part of it," Justice O'Connor told me. Her words struck me when I explored the individual acts of citizenship displayed at the NCC. I have always been inspired by Justice O'Connor, but the best part of my experience was learning that there are so many additional role models out there for young girls.

This is the perfect time of year to catch up on the endless goodie sack of music coming down the pipe on a weekly basis (and please keep it coming). There's a handful of rock records worth checking out here, ranging from the summery jams of Castle to the steady, melodic grooves across Bob Kendall's new album.
Newport-based quintet Castle (the Band) formed about two years ago, when the accordion and guitar duo of Bessie Bessin and Mike Cellemme hooked up with drummer Dave Passafiume and guitarist Noah Bickford. In late 2010 bassist Craig Cameron offered his services after seeing his second Castle show without their bass player. The band describes the sound on their self-titled debut album as "danceable indie-rock," and I'd say it's a pretty damn unique sound from one track to the next. Bessin steals the show from the start on the opener "It's Not Mine" and the breezy toe-tapper "Foggy Eyes." The album is a team effort, though, with Passafiume leading the charge on vocals and acoustic guitar on the galloping finale "Awesome Powerful Brain" (four of the five members each sing lead vox on a track). This is a fun summer listen (check out the lyrics on "Jamestown"), recorded with Scott Rancourt of Summing Point Studios and new label imprint Giant Robot Records.
Castle will play two CD release shows next weekend. Cameron said the band will return to the studio and finish a full-length album due out early next year. Check castle-the-band.com for the new disc and updates.
I checked in with Rancourt for his thoughts on the Castle debut.
"They have five talented songwriters bringing individual influences to create beautiful vocal harmonies, solid rhythms, and strong hooks, with an attention to detail and a willingness to experiment in the studio," he said. "The sound has enough twists and turns to always keep you guessing."

What Yahoo's New CEO Can Learn From Tina Fey

The flap over Yahoo's appointment of a pregnant 37-year-old executive as its CEO is a surprising, and disappointing, re-run of Father Knows Best and Gloria Steinem footage from the 1960s. Ladies (and gentlemen), the war has been won and the war was about giving women choices. The best advice, quoted by Bloomberg this week, comes from comedian Tina Fey in her book Bossypants.


text: Last summer I had work done on my AC system...97 GMC...New compressor, dryer. , top pipe and valves....Had it charged. Worked good. Today, while waiting for the wife in the store, I thought I would crank it up to circulate the compressor etc. The compressor wouldnt kick on. It is about freezing here (32F). When I got home, I bypassed the pressure switch on the dryer and it would kick on. I am thinking that my system has leaked the refrigerant out. I tried my wifes van and her compressor isnt kicking in either. Question....Is it because its too cold out or do I have a problem in the spring when I need it.

Press Review: Led Zeppelin Metal Destroys Indianapolis
Indy will never be the same. The metal munchers, Led Zeppelin, saturated Market Square Arena's 17,000 plus crowd last Saturday night with high-powered music and vocals.
It's been 18 months since this supreme band of raunch has toured. Leader Jimmy Page's searing lead guitar and hairy-chested Robert Plant's wailing voice dominated.
Led Zeppelin's tour is pushing a new album, Physical Graffiti, which will be released in early February by their own label, Swan Song.
At times, Robert Plant showed the vocal fatigue brought on by a touch of the flu. His usual high-pitched voice has steady, but obviously lower. Nothing though could slow down Plant's St. Vitrus prance.
Arriving at 8:30 pm from Chicago, the group barely had time to catch their breaths before hitting the stage. Among other backstage memories, the sight of little Jimmy Page sucking back on a quart of Jack Daniels black label whiskey stands out.
Security was tight. Even the five or six silk-clad groupies had a difficult time getting close to their favorite band member.
Three black limousines poised backstage for a quick exit. A driver said the limos' rent starts at $45 for starting the engine, with a maximum of three hours. After that, the cost is $15 per hour.
With the crowd in a near frenzy, the lights dimmed and the Led Zep quartet bolted for the stage. One notices little things. The lads were holed up in the locker room for visiting hockey teams. Visions of pep talks, psyching up, etc.
What followed was two and-a-half hours of sheer volcanic intensity. With Page switching back and forth from a double-necked guitar to a regular guitar, Led Zeppelin proved that heavy metal leaves no one in the middle ground. Either you love it or flee in terror.
The lads played a few songs from the new album. "In The Light" may turn into an international sensation.
No Quarter from Houses of the Holy, gave straight-looking John Paul Jones a chance to deliver on the keyboards. He was flawless. Even through the tons of towering speakers, Jonesy was in command.
Drummer John Bonham was a driving maniac as usual. With the help of Pink Floyd-like electronic gadgetry, Bonham excelled in his two drum solos. Although a bit self-indulgent, the solos didn't slow the group's momentum.
Among songs performed were Whole Lotta Love as the encore, and the classic Stairway to Heaven. The good crowd turnout may entice other major groups to a rock-hungry Indianapolis. (R. Scott/Indianapolis Star/January 1975)

Nicaragua Day 2
Day two of an origin trip is always an exercise in reality of time perception. Last night Jay was caught saying "and later that same day" when referring to events that had occurred only a few hours before. Waking up this morning in Roberto's farmhouse to the sounds of birds chirping and workers getting ready for a day of picking felt both familiar and foreign. It feels as though we have been in Nicaragua for weeks, but in reality we had landed in this country less than 48 hours ago. This morning routine is nothing that any of us are used to (although I must admit that I am quickly becoming accustomed to the nomadic lifestyle associated with coffee trips), however our purpose and mission is so solid that the prospect of a full day of coffee related travel does not feel all that far away from reality. I started the morning with a fresh pot of coffee and a stroll around Roberto's manicured rose garden, flanked by gigantic eucalyptus trees, with mountains of coffee looming in the distance. I now understand why Paul declares this farmhouse as his favorite place in the world.
We enjoyed an enormous breakfast of eggs, ham, rice, beans, fried plantains, fresh cheese and homemade juice, before hitting the bumpy roads. Our first stop was just down the road to see the coffee that was de-pulped the previous evening. After approximately 12 hours of fermentation, the beans were mucilage free and ready to be rinsed and bagged off to transport to the mill for drying. This was the first time that I had seen both steps of this process performed in their entirety, and the whole system ran like a well-calibrated machine. I will say, however, that I do not admire the man whose job is to lift the sacs filled with dripping wet green coffee beans and races it to a hand cart to put in a truck.
Next we headed off deep into Roberto's farm El Quetzal to test our skills at coffee picking. Each of us donned a basket fastened to our waists with a canvas strap, and into the rows of trees we went. Our mission was to pick as much coffee as we could in 30 minutes or so. The caveat of coffee picking is that not all of the cherries ripen at the same time, and so the picker must only select the cherries that are red that day. For this reason, each section of this 200-acre farm is passed over 3-4 times per season to ensure the collection of the entire crop at its peak ripeness. Our coffee-picking adventure started off pretty easily, each of us selecting a tree on the side of the dirt road and stripping the branches of all of the red cherries. The cherries do not come off easily like a grape off its stem, and a considerable amount of force is needed to pluck each individual cherry from its tree. The trouble started when we had finished the easy trees along the road and then proceeded to venture into the thicket of trees that cascaded down the steep slope ahead of us. Good thing that I was wearing Deet. The competition got fierce as each of us tried to find the most easily accessible tree with the greatest concentration of cherries. I had the competitive advantage of being a Spanish speaker, and I lured the farm manager with my delightful conversation into staying with me and helping me fill my basket. When our 30 minutes were up, we all headed back to the road to see who had picked the best quality and most cherries (I won). The real shock was that between our whole group we picked less than one basked of coffee cherries. Our meager ration of cherries would equate to about 2 pounds of roasted coffee. We each would have earned about 12 cents for our 30 minutes of labor. A real coffee picker can pick up to 6 baskets a day, each basket paying approximately $1.00. This is a wage set by the Nicaraguan government for coffee pickers, and is generally accepted as a fair price. Workers also receive meals, lodging, and transportation during the picking season. Roberto's farm also provides daycare and elementary school for children who do not work (children under the age of 14 are prohibited from working, and those 14-16 may only work with the permission of their parents).
After experiencing firsthand the effort that goes into picking the coffee cherry for one cup of coffee, we headed for a bumpy drive through coffee country to pass through various small farms in the Matagalpa and Jinotega regions. The views were spectacular, and as much as I wanted to take in all of the sights, I got a severe case of car-narcolepsy (my carpolepsy, Patrick says) and missed much of it. We ended up in the city of Matagalpa around midday, and after a quick, delicious lunch, headed back to Roberto's mill, Beneficio La Pita, to see the final step in the coffee processing sequence before export. The wet coffee from the de-pulpers is transported here each day, and the coffee is laid out to dry on raised African beds as well as large cement patios. The coffee is constantly raked so that no moisture goes untouched by the sun. When the coffee is dried to 12 percent moisture, it is ready to be milled. After dry milling (where the outer layer of parchment is removed) the dry green coffee is ready to be bagged and packed into a truck for export. While we were there, we were also able to cup some of Roberto's Don Paco coffee, including 8 of the containers that we have purchased for Coffee Bean International.
And so ended day two of the Great Nicaraguan Adventure 2011. We made a quick pit stop in Matagalpa to refresh our supplies of beer, rum, and wine, and jostled our way back over the mountains to the farmhouse. I am now drowsy on Toña, beans, rice, plantains (sounding familiar?) and fresh salsa, and cannot wait to crawl into bed and fall asleep listening to the pounding rain on the skylight above me.

Lawmaker working to get rid of speed cameras
PINEY FLATS, Tenn. - A local lawmaker is leading an effort to get rid of some area speed cameras, but Bluff City officials say the cameras have likely saved lives.
Representative Timothy Hill has brought a bill to the state capitol in hopes of getting rid of the speed cameras in Piney Flats. "We have a city that has come along and they've corridor annexed an area that has no governing body and said their traffic is high enough to support the activity of these cameras. Unfortunately the people in Piney Flats don't really have a voice whether or not to remove these or not," said Hill.
Bluff City manager Judy Dulaney says nearly 30,000 vehicles drive on 11-E in Piney Flats and only one percent of the people driving ever get cited. She also says 90 percent of the first-time offenders never get another ticket. "It's doing its job. It was put there for safety and no other reason," said Dulaney.
"People have slowed down. We've worked less wrecks than we ever have through there," said Greg Depew, Chief of Police.
Representative Hill tells us he's not buying it and believes it has to do with money. "I know that the majority of what is discussed seems to have little to do with safety and more to do with the money they generate," said Hill.
Dulaney tells us they only generate 18 percent of their funds through the cameras and she expects that number to continue to drop; but the money they do gain, Dulaney says goes back into the community. "Because of the extra revenue we were able to put it back into the town and be able to give more to non-profits," she said.
Another issue Hill brings up: he says cameras should not replace police officers. "There is no comparison. There's no training a camera that takes photos with a flashing light. The officer is well trained, they're good at what they do," said Hill.
However, Depew says he only has eight officers in his department and they can't monitor just one roadway. "We have different calls we're on or other highways to patrol or different duties we're doing," he said.
"If those cameras are taken away, it will turn back into the dangerous area that it is," said Dulaney.
Dulaney told us that if the cameras are taken away and replaced with officers, the speeding citations will go from $50 to $123.50.
As of now, the bill still sits in the transportation sub-committee.

When Sean Skeehan mentions that a fall from a ladder helped save his life, he gets a lot of odd looks. But that fall, and the care he received as a result, helped diagnosis his neuroendocrine cancer and get him the treatment he needed.
It all started while Sean was working late on his farm in Chariton installing some electrical cabling in a barn back in the spring of 2012. He fell backwards off the ladder landing on the hard packed dirt below. He was able to call to his wife Jill who immediately took him to the emergency room. Sean sustained a broken arm and pelvis but did not require surgery. He was able to go home the next day and was walking with the help of a cane.
Within a couple of weeks of the accident, instead of feeling better and getting stronger, Sean began experiencing nausea and diarrhea, lost his appetite and all his joints ached. Upon his return trip to his physician, the doctor took one look at Sean and admitted him to the hospital for a battery of tests. It was during those tests that masses were found on Sean's liver, pancreas, stomach and spleen. A biopsy was ordered and Sean's concerns were confirmed: he had cancer.
Sean's diagnosis was a unique in two ways. First, the neuroendocrine cancer he had is rare, making up less than 2% of all cancer cases. Second, Sean's doctors believe he had carried the cancer for quite some time without experiencing many telling symptoms. Because his cancer affected his pancreas, chances are good that it was responsible for causing Sean's type 2 diabetes diagnosis all the way back in 2006.
Treatment for Sean's stage-four cancer was comprised of two very complicated surgeries performed by Jan Franko, M.D., a surgical oncologist from Mercy Cancer Center. Dr. Franko removed the tumors along with half of Sean's pancreas, his gall bladder, spleen, 15% of his stomach and resecting 60% of his liver which has since grown back. Sean spent more than 60 days as an in-patient at Mercy during his cancer treatment. Aside from the surgeries, Sean also struggled with his recovery from the fall. His cancer was affecting his body's ability to heal, limiting his use of his fractured arm. It looks months of physical therapy to regain his strength and stamina.
Through the ups and downs, Sean stayed positive and made quite an impact on his care team. The nurses on his floor got to know Sean and his family well, giving him the nickname, "the tall farmer". According to Sean, "My interaction with everyone - from nurses, techs, doctors, residents, therapists, imaging staff, specialists, transporters, technicians, clerical staff, housekeeping, food service, counselors, students and volunteers – was compassionate and professional. I'm confident that everyone's skill, attention to detail and smiling/positive attitude helped me recover so well from my multiple problems."
Throughout his treatment, Sean set his mind to returning to the farm life with his crops, animals and beautiful views of his land. After recovering from surgery, Sean did exactly that. It took a while to get back his strength, but in the meantime, he had family and friends from near and far lend a hand with various chores and projects.
Reflecting back on his experience, Sean has some very particularly good advice for others going through a particularly long and difficult medical treatment. Some of those pointers include: Keeping a journal/log both during your hospitalization and your follow-up treatment; Learn the grace to accept offers of help from family, friends and neighbors; Take lots of time after your cure or treatment ends to get back to full speed; And finally, tell your friends and family what is in your heart as often as you can because none of us know when our last conversations will occur.
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006, Bill Throckmorton had a unique way of preparing for each of his radiation treatments. Some patients bring along a keepsake or wear a lucky shirt, Bill rode his bike. Not just once, or hoping on and off to say he did it, he rode his bike to every one of his 42 treatments, every time.
An active cyclist and RAGBRAI veteran, Bill used bike riding as his outlet for waging his own battle with cancer. "It's a sobering thing when a doctor tells you that you have cancer," said Throckmorton. "I decided to ride my bike to my radiation treatments every day as a way of saying to cancer, 'I can beat you'. I've always been a pretty positive person and always believed in a positive mental attitude. If you continue to grow the good things, the bad things just kind of disappear on their own" he said.
On the day of his final treatment, a cool morning in November, Bill was accompanied by a group of his rider friends for the trip from his home south-of-Grand in Des Moines to Mercy Cancer Center north of downtown. "I knew from the beginning that I needed to stay busy and as healthy and active as possible. That's why I set the goal to ride my bike to every treatment. I met my goal and I credit my active lifestyle with helping me weather the radiation therapy with virtually no side effects."
According to Richard Deming, MD, Medical Director at Mercy Cancer Center, it's that commitment to being active that has helped to keep Bill healthy after his diagnosis. "When patients who will be undergoing radiation ask me if they'll be able to do the things they did before, I tell them about Bill and assure them they can," Deming said. "Bill has been an inspiration to patients he has never even met. I've never had a patient like him."
Now retired, Bill has organized countless rides and events to raise cancer awareness and continues to inspire others waging their own battles with cancer by volunteering at Mercy Medical Center – Des Moines on the inpatient cancer treatment floor. "It's my way of giving back !"
Jennifer was diagnosed with stage IIIC breast cancer and Paget's disease in April 2012 at the age of 34. She had discovered a lump only a week earlier while removing her bra preparing for bed. As the mother of three children, her diagnosis was a whirlwind for her family. One moment, they were preparing for a long-awaited family vacation to Florida. The next, Jennifer and her husband were explaining cancer, going to doctor visits and preparing for the battle that lay ahead.
In May 2012 Jennifer underwent a bi-lateral mastectomy and started 20 weeks of chemo therapy shortly thereafter. Chemo was extremely difficult as Jennifer was receiving 2 drugs in each treatment. "I experienced terrible nausea and everything smelled awful for a few days. Lucky for me, I never went to treatment alone. There was always a friend or family member there." said Jennifer.
During her chemotherapy, Jennifer met a fellow breast cancer patient named Pam. They had similar diagnosis and became fast friends. Mercy Cancer Center coordinated their chemo and radiation therapy sessions to take place on the same day and time so they could be together. Pam and Jennifer drew support from each other, and talked through their experiences. Jennifer remarked, "Pam really understood what I was going through and was quick to call or text, asking how I was feeling. Because of her friendship, those treatments were something I looked forward to, as opposed to dreading."
In February 2013 Jennifer completed her treatment and was cancer-free. In March, Jennifer and her family finally were able to take the vacation to Florida they had wanted, with a bread new perspective. She explains being in remission is sometimes scary. "I try not to dwell on the dreaded question of when or if the cancer will come back. I just take it one day at a time and do my best to move forward with my life."
While suffering through bloating, menstrual pain and fatigue in 2011, 47-year-old Robyn chalked up the symptoms to the onset of menopause. With two adult daughters, a 12-year-old son and a 1-year old grandson, what else could it be? "I didn't think going to the doctor to hear 'you are just getting older' was necessary." However, one morning, Robyn could not go to the bathroom at all and wondered if it was something more than just age.
After meeting with her doctor and undergoing a battery of tests, a large mass was discovered on her right ovary, which was affecting her bladder. Blood tests were inconclusive so a hysterectomy was recommended to find out if the mass was cancer. "Two things really scare me: first is the thought of losing a child or grandchild, the second is the 'C' word." After waking up from surgery, one of those fears came to fruition. Robyn had ovarian cancer.
Chemotherapy was recommended to contain the cancer. For 18 weeks, her routine revolved around driving to Mercy Cancer Center for treatment, then returning to Audubon County Memorial Hospital to receive fluids.
"Ovarian cancer does not have good statistics. After my diagnosis, I thought about my grandbaby and whether or not I was going to die." What carried her through that difficult time was Robyn's faith, strength and family. "I have always been independent and stubborn. I came to realize I could not do this on my own. Cancer does not give you that option. My husband was unbelievable through the process. He took care of our son, our home and me."
Robyn had her last chemo treatment in May 2012 and now undergoes testing every three months and submits to monthly blood test as well. Robyn says it is easy to question things after cancer. "I think it's simple to ask 'why?' But, I think for me it's so I can be a voice. If my story and my journey can help even one person, then it was all worth it."
Marcelino, or "Marce" as he is called by his many friends, never seems to have met a stranger. Serving in the Navy and working 31 years for the Federal Aviation Administration – his travels took him all over the world, crossing paths with countless people he is proud to call friends. Maybe it's due to his warm smile or ability to weave a good story. If you ask Marce, it's all about treating others as you want to be treated. After all, even perfect strangers could wind up being your best friend in the right situation.
That positive attitude has served him well – even when facing the impact cancer has had on his life and the lives of his loved ones. In 2004, Marce's mother died of cancer and in 2007 his wife of 30 years lost her battle with ovarian cancer. Even in that time of grief, Marce choose to help others before helping himself. He started a grief support group at a local hospice. It was there he met Ginny, who was mourning the loss of her husband to a brain tumor. They each helped the other through their loss, became close and fell in love. They got engaged and now celebrate the lives of the loved ones they've lost far too soon.
In Marce's own battle with metastatic merkel cell, his positive attitude has not changed. He views his appointments with Dr. Voynov at Mercy Cancer Center as an opportunity to visit with friends and spread some cheer to other cancer patients. According to Marce, "If I can bring a little joy or hope to someone else, it makes my day."
When Pam was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002, she fought tooth and nail to beat the disease. It was an exhausting process, but in the end, she was proud to call herself a cancer survivor. When she was diagnosed with cancer for a second time in early 2012, she immediately feared the worst. She recalls, "Leading up to my second cancer diagnosis, I was working long hours and had delayed my routine screenings as a result. I was told I had stage III breast cancer in February 2012 and at first, I didn't think I'd be around come Christmas."
Between Pam's diagnosis in February and her mastectomy in March, she dealt with the stress of not knowing what her future held. Once her mastectomy was complete, Pam, her husband Richard and her physicians were able to lay out a treatment plan that gave her the best chance at recovery. It included 20 weeks of chemo and 38 radiation treatments. Being a meticulous planner, it was difficult handing over control to someone else. "When you are diagnosed with an advanced cancer, you have to make decisions quickly with people you don't know. I learned to trust my doctors and nurses at Mercy to put together a plan. They did a phenomenal job and bent over backwards to accommodate my input."
It was during her radiation treatments that Pam met another breast cancer patient named Jen. They had a similar diagnosis and treatment schedules. Having another patient to visit with during her chemo and radiation treatments made the grueling process easier to handle. They became fast friends and became their own support group. If Jen was having a bad day, Pam was there to cheer her up. Jen returned the favor anytime Pam was down.
Pam also received unexpected support from coworkers and friends during her treatment. "There were people that called to check in on me or sat with me during treatment I never would have guessed cared as much as they did. All that support gave me strength." On Jan. 13, 2013, Pam had her final radiation treatment and is currently cancer-free. She is now focusing on regaining her strength through classes at the YMCA Healthy Living Center and attends the LIVESTRONG Cancer Education series each Wednesday evening at the Y. She also plays a new role as a cancer advocate, offering support for other survivors and assisting with different cancer causes.
Dana was a normal 19-year-old before she diagnosed with melanoma. She had graduated from high school, gotten a "real job" and was thinking about what her future held. She was healthy, active and never really one to get sick. She had no noticeable symptoms until a coworker noted that her neck looked a bit swollen. Shortly after, Dana could feel a small ball forming in her neck. It scared her, so she didn't go to the doctor until she started to feel light-headed whenever she would turn her head.
Hearing that she had cancer was truly a worst case scenario for Dana. When you're a teenager, you don't and shouldn't have to think about being diagnosed with cancer. Telling family was difficult, but proved to be a blessing. "Once I realized what was happening, I was terrified. I called my mother right away. I needed their support and am blessed to have such a wonderful family."
Another source of support after her diagnosis and during her treatment was her employer and co-workers. "I looked forward to having someplace to go every day where I was important and normal. My co-workers raised money to help pay for living expenses and my company was flexible with my hours. They showed plenty of concern, but didn't baby me, which I really appreciated."
As she went through treatment and her condition improved, Dana gained a new perspective. "Through this process, I've learned to listen to my intuition more. If you believe everything will turn out for the best – it probably will. Her advice for others struggling with a cancer diagnosis? "Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired, have fun when you want to, and cry when you need to. Being sick doesn't omit you from the human experience."
In Jan. 6, 2011, Madonna received the devastating news she had breast cancer. What followed was a bilateral mastectomy, 20 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by weeks of radiation. Her mantra during her treatment was, "Courage isn't always a lion's roar. It is sometimes the heart at the end of a day saying I will try again tomorrow." No matter how difficult the challenge or how many times she might have stumbled, Madonna always rose up to face the challenge, never backing down.
Exactly one year after her diagnosis, Madonna undertook an entirely different, but equally difficult, challenge. She and 18 other cancer survivors, ages 29 to 73, and 21 caregivers trekked through five ecosystems to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest peak on the African continent and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. The journey was coordinated by Above and Beyond Cancer, a nonprofit organization established to reduce the burden of cancer. "That was a very emotional experience," Madonna Nichols says. "I'm so glad I did it. Cancer changes your perspective on things. We bonded as a group and have kept in touch since."
Determined to overcome even more obstacles, Madonna participated this past June in Coast to Coast for Cancer, a 4,000 mile marathon across the country. She, her husband and son ran a 26.2 mile leg of the journey to raise funds and awareness for cancer. Madonna certainly has shown that no matter the challenge, be it cancer, a tall mountain or a long road, she has the courage to rise to the challenge.

Reviews of this property
If you like holiday camps like the right place. The 40 square meters are occupied by 8 people, one toilet, one bathroom, the room was very small, bed size 1,90 x 1,40 for 2 people with a blanket. Kitchen with 3 chairs, no table, hot water was not two days, U - Bahn noise until late at night and very early, about every 3 Minuten.Für us it was pure horror.
Wer gerne Ferienlager mag ist hier richtig . Die 40qm werden mit 8 Personen belegt , eine Toilette, ein Bad, das Zimmer sehr klein, Bettgröße 1,90 x 1,40 für 2 Personen mit einer Decke. Küche mit 3 Stühlen, kein Tisch, Warmwasser ging 2 Tage nicht, U - Bahngeräusche bis spät nachts und sehr früh, ca. alle 3 Minuten.Für uns war es der blanke Horror.
Comfortable flat and tidy room. Really efficient organisation (we never saw our host). Defintely reccomended for short stays.
I had a really nice stay. London is amazing. The room was clean and had a good location. The neighbourhood was really lively and charming. Thanks a lot Kazzos
Clean, comfortable und nice place to stay for a night. It was a better experience than having a private room in a hostel. The location was very nice, not to loud and very close to Brick Lane. I would definitely book this accommodation again. Thank you for the nice stay!
The apartment was very clean and nice, we had a good one night stay in this room. However the owner doesn't live at this property so when we got there the keys were in a safe on our arrival but the keys we were told to use didn't even open the front door, we had to take another set that was in the safe to EVENTUALLY open the front door, very difficult door to open. We weren't given the wifi password so I messaged the owner, didn't get a reply, called him twice, didn't get a answer, called him the 3rd time and finally got through. He said he would message me the wifi password as soon as I hung up but I never received the message.
The stay was great. Although we had a small room but perfectly adequate. At the point - THANK KAZ!
Unfortunately, there was not a "simple breakfast" - that's not bad - in the vicinity there are many bakeries and small supermarkets.
Highly recommended -> Sunday in Brick Lane!
Der Aufenthalt war super. Wir hatten zwar ein kleines Zimmer, aber völlig ausreichend. An der Stelle - DANKE KAZ!
Leider gab es kein "einfaches Frühstück" - das ist nicht schlimm - in der Nähe gibt es Bäckereien und viele kleine Supermärkte.
Sehr zu empfehlen -> Sonntags in die Brick Lane!!!
Viele Grüße

An assessment is required for most Government funded services. Generally, this assessment is conducted in your home by an Aged & Disability Services Assessment Officer. During the assessment, you will be able to ask any questions and discuss your care needs.
At this home visit, the type and amount of service you need will be negotiated with you. As far as possible, all services will be provided at a time that suits you. The services will then be written into a Confidential Care plan, which is kept by Aged & Disability Services. You will be provided with a copy of your Care Plan.
The Care Plan provides details of the:
Your care plan can be reviewed at any time with you and/or your carer. If we can't provide the service you need, we can refer you to an appropriate service.
The Home and Community Care (HACC) Guidelines established by the State Government provide the eligibility criteria for HACC services. Your must be a resident of the City of Yarra to receive Yarra's HACC services. Services are provided on the basis of eligibility, as well as assessed and prioritised need. This means that although you may fall into one of the categories and meet the eligibility criteria, in some instances, you may not automatically receive services.
In summary, the following people are eligible for HACC services:
Council has a Priority of Access policy, which ensures that people most in need of assistance will receive it. Some people have higher and more complex needs and may be assessed as a higher priority for services.

Fixture News | 30th June 2005
Smith will get his chance
June 30
Leicestershire Foxes 150-4
Notts Outlaws 129-8 (Clough 30*)
Foxes won by 21 runs
After the holders ended our hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals, Newell said he would look to the future by moving 22-year-old Smith up the order against Derbyshire Phantoms.
He said: "I think our hopes of qualification have ended and the remaining matches serve as an opportunity for us to assess how Smith copes in pressure situations.
"So far he?s been facing a few balls at the end of the innings but he?s an opener by choice and he will certainly be coming in earlier against Derbyshire."
Smith faced an impossible task against Leicestershire batting at number nine as we failed to chase a low target after a disastrous start left us only 46-3 after 10 overs.
On a slow pitch, we restricted Leicestershire to 150 with tight bowling from Mark Ealham, Gareth Clough and Graeme Swann.
But our batting never got going and Newell added: "That was our worst batting performance with the bat in the competition and it?s disappointing considering the improvements we?ve made in the past few matches.
"We?ve got two games against Derbyshire which are important to restore pride and also get the winning feeling back in the dressing room before we return to Championship action against Glamorgan next week."

Short version: I lost a hive last week....and found it again today. I need some advice on putting it back were it's supposed to live.
Long version: I went on vacation 2 weeks ago & came home last week to one of my hives in obvious trouble. Two days after that we got a six-inch snowstorm with temps in the 20's. I dismantled the hive this weekend to find about 200 frozen bees around a frozen (young) queen. Not finding any evidence of disease, I put their two full supers on an adjacent hive and put their two deeps in the freezer (one drawn comb, one with 40# of honey).
Well, today my wife found a swarm in the neighbor's yard, apparently surviving the snowstorm. I'm going to try to leave work early and re-home them in their previous deeps.
If I get them back in their deep(s), and put them back in their place tonight, what are the odds they'll stay put this time around? For various reasons, I'm missing about 5 of 20 frames from the pair of deeps. Should I put empty frames in (offcenter)? foundation frames?
If I get them to stay (and they have about 60# of feed), what chance might they have in an area that usually needs 70-80#?

To the Editors:
Alex Pavlak's Macroscope essay "Strategy Versus Evolution" in the November–December issue is a demonstration of the principle that asking the wrong question leads to the wrong answer. Either that, or he already had an answer and was casting about for a plausible question.
The essay about achieving President Obama's 2050 carbon dioxide emission goal is based on two unstated assumptions. One is that future energy consumption must remain at current levels. The other is that the grid must remain demand-based. In essence he advocates business-as-usual, but with a different energy source.
I argue that our high rate of energy consumption—most of the world runs cheerfully on much less—starts with the availability of cheap energy rather than from genuine need. Reducing consumption and increasing efficiency could make great strides toward the 2050 goal.
The grid currently adjusts to meet demand because most existing generation facilities work well that way and because, until recently, we didn't have the technology to implement a supply-based model. With a supply-based grid the price of electricity would vary minute by minute. When the sun shines and the wind blows, electricity would be less expensive; at other times the price would rise. Demand could be met by existing hydroelectric installations.
Reduced energy consumption and a supply-based grid may be unfamiliar now, but the future will be significantly different from the present. Nuclear is the energy of the future, but it will be nuclear-fusion energy from the Sun.
Cam FarnellHalifax, Nova Scotia
Like most writers addressing the environment or the overuse of natural resources, Alex Pavlak fails to take population growth into account. The U.S. population is expected to grow from 296 million in 2005 to 438 million in 2050, an increase of 48 percent. Assuming the same per capita emissions rate with no emissions mitigation, the total rate in 2050 would be 8838 million metric tons. Thus, to achieve Obama's goal of 1,015 million metric tons, the per capita reduction must be 89 percent, not 83 percent. Perhaps any emissions-reduction strategy should include efforts to limit our population growth.
Also, I question Dr. Pavlak's conclusion that a strategic approach to CO2 emissions reduction is superior to an evolutionary approach. Restructuring our energy economy might be unplannable. History demonstrates that a strategic approach to economic problems above a certain size fails, due to their complexity and unforeseeable variables. The planned economies of communist countries in the 20th century are prime examples.
Furthermore, failures of the evolutionary method often are not failures of the method itself, but of a government's skewed approach to fostering economic evolution. Typically the U.S. employs targeted subsidies or tax breaks to encourage investment in specific technologies, essentially micromanaging the process.
Imposing a carbon tax is the most promising government strategy. A simple tax would send a broad signal to entrepreneurs and scientists to invest in developing noncarbon-based energy sources, some perhaps yet to be discovered or perfected, and would allow the free market to find the solution.
Mark W. ZachariasLanghorne, PA
Dr. Pavlak responds:
Cam Farnell and Mark Zacharias correctly point to a flaw in my essay. I did not explain that I assume that growth in demand will be balanced by conservation and efficiency to produce no net consumption growth. History teaches us as much: Under the duress of two oil embargoes, U.S. energy consumption remained flat between 1973 and 1987.
My essay pleads for disciplined strategic scenario development. Farnell's notion of a supply-based grid needs to be explored. But put numbers to it. How much storage would be required to reduce the no-wind, no-power risk to acceptable levels? Is it feasible?
Zacharias's question about the limits of planning gets to the heart of my paper. Plans require goals. If we have clear and stable goals, planning helps avoid big mistakes (such as those we are making in clean energy). Complexity per se is not an issue. We can manage enormous complexity if we have clear and stable goals.
So-called "wicked" problems have fuzzy goals. Most social problems involving value choices are wicked: consumer products, health care, economies. We attack these through iteration, spiral development, agile development and rapid prototyping with market feedback. Unfortunately, this local optimization can lead to ugly, expensive systems and evolutionary dead ends that can fall way short.
Evolution develops everything that can reduce emissions today, even though some technologies conflict with the goal of a zero-carbon grid. Strategic planning produces clear priorities because it focuses on the very few known technologies that can deliver that grid.

The ideal foodIn my experience, the numerous health benefits to infants are the chief reasons parents give for choosing to breastfeed. Prospective parents who are informed about the compelling arguments in favor of breastfeeding usually are motivated to give nursing a try. After all, what parent doesn't want the very best for his or her baby? An in-depth discussion of the advantages of breastfeeding and human milk easily could fill an entire text. Every year, scientists discover new ways that human milk enhances an infant's health and development. The most commonly cited infant benefits of breastfeeding are reviewed below.
Human Milk is the Ideal Food for Infants
All infant feeding experts agree that human milk is nature's perfect design for feeding babies and that it is uniquely suited to promote optimal infant growth and development. Human milk contains more than two hundred constituents-proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace metals, growth factors, hormones, enzymes, antibodies, white blood cells, and more-each in ideal proportion to one another. This precise biochemical balance-virtually a "symphony of ingredients"-cannot possibly be duplicated artificially. The components in human milk represent more than necessary nutrients, and many play multiple roles in promoting the health and development of babies.
The proteins in human milk not only provide essential building blocks for growth but also perform other vital functions including helping to protect babies from illness. The proteins in human milk include disease-fighting antibodies and many other important immune properties. Human milk has less protein than the amount added to formulas because breast milk protein is utilized more efficiently by babies. It forms a softer curd that is more easily digestible than cow's milk or formula curd. Breastfed babies feed more often than formula-fed infants because their stomachs empty sooner. Proteins break down into amino acids, the composition of which is ideally suited to meet the unique requirements of infants.
The fats in human milk provide its major source of energy and are essential for the optimal development of the infant brain and nervous system. Breast milk conveniently contains a fat-digesting enzyme, lipase, that aids an infant's fat digestion. Human milk is rich in long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is present in large amounts in human milk, and at the current time, is absent in U.S. formulas. DHA is found in the infant's rapidly developing brain and eye tissue and is necessary for proper brain and eye development. It is not yet known whether an infant diet lack-ing the fatty acid composition of human milk has permanent adverse effects. However, a recent study found poorer visual ability in formula-fed premature babies than in those fed breast milk. Human milk is also rich in cholesterol, while formulas have little or none. Although the significance of this is unknown, research in rats suggests that animals who consume high levels of cholesterol in infancy may be better able to cope with dietary cholesterol and maintain a lower cholesterol level in later life.
The predominant carbohydrate found in milk is lactose, also known as milk sugar because it is found only in milk. In addition to being an important source of calories, lactose improves the absorption of certain minerals, including calcium. Lactose also promotes the growth of harmless intestinal bacteria in the breastfed baby's gut. These benign bowel germs create an acid environment that helps protect against the proliferation of harmful bacteria that cause infant diarrhea.
Human milk is a dynamic fluid, varying in composition depending on the stage of lactation, the maternal diet, the time of day, and other factors. The first milk your breasts produce, known as colostrum, is scant in volume, but high in protein, rich in immunities, and easily digested by your baby. Over the first ten days, colostrum gradually changes to mature milk, which is lower in protein and higher in lactose and fat. Although thinner in appearance, mature milk remains unmatched in nutritional quality. The fat content of milk is low at the beginning of a feeding and increases throughout the feeding. Breast milk is easily digested and produces loose bowel movements that are passed easily and that are not unpleasant smelling.

Halloween Night: Trick or treat so others can eat
By Courtney Taylor
Student Intern, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(Oct. 26, 2007)--The UTSA chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Society will host its eighth annual food drive walk from 6 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 31 in the historic Monte Vista neighborhood.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

On Halloween night, volunteers will collect non-perishable food items to be delivered to the San Antonio Food Bank. Before Halloween, Omicron Delta Kappa will distribute fliers to the homes in the neighborhood to raise awareness of the event.
The group needs a minimum of six students to adopt a street. By adopting a street, the students will visit every home on that street, collect the items and also give each household a tax deductible form for their contributions.
Omicron Delta Kappa invites other student organizations to get involved by helping to collect food for the hungry. Participants can dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes. Refreshments and snacks will be served for volunteers. Volunteers with trucks are needed to hold the items as they are collected.
Last year, more than 100 volunteers from various UTSA organizations helped collect 900 pounds of food, enough to feed 100 families for the entire month.
For more information, contact Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Society at (210) 458-7273 or email@example.com.

America Reads and America Counts Challenge Programs
Binghamton University has participated in America Reads since 1997, and in America Counts since 2002. These initiatives of the U.S. Department of Education fund work-study positions at Binghamton for about 12 graduate students each year. Working 10 hours/week during the academic year, these students experience the satisfaction of having a positive impact on children who struggle with literacy or mathematics.
Through America Reads, graduate students provide one-on-one tutoring and/or small group instruction to K-6 elementary school children who read below grade level. Graduate students also may provide literacy services to parents and caregivers in local schools and communities. Locations for tutoring vary from year to year, depending on interests and needs of the graduate student tutors. Each year, America Reads employs 8 graduate students and serves about 100 children.
Through America Counts, graduate students provide assistance to students who have difficulty learning mathematics. Graduate students generally work in a high-need middle school. America Counts employs 3 or 4 graduate students and reaches about 75 children each year.
For information about applying for these work-study assistantships, see America Reads/America Counts.

Great start to the season. So will this be the final season or will they have one more? One of the bad things about stories based on historical figures is that they all have to end.
New episode tonight.
Caesar won a Civic Crown before then. That meant he was in the front line and save a cohort from certain death. The cohort had to nominate him for the honor.
Then there were the pirates. Before Spartacus, he was captured by pirates. He made them double the ransom as he told them they didn't realize how important he would be one day. Then he promised to find them and crucify every one of them. He did. Once ransom paid, he raised a navy, found them, captured them, and crucified them all.
Does that sound like a dandy or fopish type?
Sulla did say he saw in him many Marius's.
Caesar had his bodily hair plucked and shaved on a regular basis.
Read the Suetonius and Plutarch accounts of him online. Very entertaining.

Updated: Jul 07, 2016 10:07 AM PDT
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wasn't charged after an investigation of her actions following the September 2012 attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya. Take a look back at the attack and the political aftermath. [ + - ]
On Sept. 11, 2012, initial reports claimed a mob of angry protestors gather outside the U.S. temporary consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Protestors reportedly stormed the building, and Ambassador Christopher Stevens and information technology expert Sean Smith died of smoke inhalation. Here a portrait of Stevens is seen along with a condolence book outside the room of Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the U.S. Capitol on Sept. 14, 2012. [ + - ]
Two security personnel, former U.S. Navy Seals Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, were killed in a subsequent attack after helping to evacuate those at the consulate to a U.S. diplomatic annex. Here the remains of Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods are carried into a hangar during the Transfer of Remains Ceremony on Sept. 14, 2012, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. [ + - ]
Officials initially reported they didn't know whether the attacks were coordinated, but it appeared the source of the anger was a video made in the U.S. which mocked Islam and the Prophet Mohammed. [ + - ]
The day after the attack, in an address from the Rose Garden, President Barack Obama said, "The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. ... no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation." [ + - ]
On Sept. 16, 2012, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows. That day, she said, "We do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned," and, "Soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that in that effort." [ + - ]
But on Sept. 19, 2012, an Obama administration official described the incident as a "terrorist attack." The following day, after days of repeating that the video mocking Islam caused the attack, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack. Our embassy was attacked violently, and the result was four deaths of American officials." U.S. officials also back away from the theory that a protest led to the attack. [ + - ]
On Sept. 28, 2012, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper (center) announced that despite initial reports the attack on the consulate was spontaneous, they now believe it was a terrorist attack. [ + - ]
On Oct. 1, 2012, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), demanded that U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice step down after making what he called misleading comments about the attack in Benghazi. Later in the month, several senior administration officials told CNN Rice's use of the word "spontaneous" to describe the attack came directly from an assessment provided by the CIA, which was not edited by the White House. This assessment was revised following Rice's use of the word. [ + - ]
In December 2012, an independent review of the September 11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was released. The report cites "systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies" at the State Department. [ + - ]
On Jan. 23, 2013, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified for more than five hours before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Clinton acknowledged a "systemic breakdown" as cited by an Accountability Review Board but says that her department is taking additional steps to increase security at U.S. diplomatic facilities. [ + - ]
In April 2013, House Republican leaders released a 46-page interim progress report about the terror attack in Benghazi, in which they claim Clinton personally signed off on cuts in security at the compound, which they say would contradict her congressional testimony. [ + - ]
On May 15, 2013, the White House released more than 100 pages of emails detailing the development of unclassified talking points used to explain the attack. According to a CNN reports, "The emails indicate the CIA was likely the lead organization in developing the talking points, with the State Department recommending significant changes." [ + - ]
In August 2013, federal authorities filed the first criminal charges in the Benghazi consulate attack. Among those charged is prominent Libyan militia figure Ahmed Abu Khattala. [ + - ]
On Jan. 15, 2014, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on Benghazi. The report states that the majority of the committee believe that attack was "likely preventable" based on known security shortfalls at the facility and prior warnings. [ + - ]
On May 2, 2014, House Speaker John Boehner announced that he will form a select committee to investigate the 2012 terror attack. The move came after previously unreleased documents, including an email from a White House national security aide, added to questions about what the Obama administration knew about the armed assault and how it responded in the days after. [ + - ]
In June 2014, U.S officials said they had captured Libyan militia leader Ahmed abu Khattalah, who was described as a key suspect in the September 2012 attack. Khattalah was the first person arrested in connection with the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. [ + - ]
While Hillary Clinton was scheduled to meet with the FBI, her husband and former President Bill Clinton, met privately with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, creating questions about Lynch's independence in the matter. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump complained of the meeting in which Bill Clinton met with Lynch aboard her plane Monday while both were on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. [ + - ]
FBI Director James Comey said he would not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of private email servers while secretary of state, removing a huge shadow hovering over her presidential campaign. Comey did say Clinton and her aides were "extremely careless" in the handling of classified information and saying the presumptive Democratic nominee should have known an unclassified email system was no place to conduct sensitive government business. Attorney General Loretta Lynch followed the FBI's recommendation and did not file charges against Clinton. [ + - ]
FBI Director James Comey vigorously defended the agency's investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server Thursday after a top Republican argued that average Americans who behaved similarly would be led off in handcuffs. Comey was the sole witness at a politically charged hearing on Capitol Hill, convened by GOP lawmakers angry about his failure to recommend charges for Clinton over her use of private email servers as secretary of state. [ + - ]
