Chapter1 (v.1) - The Bones and the Skates
She sighed and removed the thick framed glasses from her face, gently setting them on the desk in front of her, and rubbed her temples. It was late, but she was used to that, and the steady rain streaking down the window was nothing new either. She lifted her glasses and stood up, maneuvering through the room carefully considering all she could make out were the blurry shapes that constituted the furniture. When she reached the door she placed the frames back onto the bridge of her nose and pushed it open. Her heels clicked eerily on the tiles as she made her way through the empty museum to the ladies room.
Again, the empty building was nothing new to her, and the short walk to the restroom was one she had often made late at night. She entered the bathroom and stood in front of the row of gleaming sinks, all reflected in the wall mirror above them. She glanced at her reflection, brushed the wisps of her brown hair that had escaped her twist during the long day, and removed her glasses again. She splashed some cold water on her face and dried it with a towel from the dispenser. Replacing her glasses she turned around and made her way back to her office.
When she entered the dim room the work piled on her desk looked more uninviting than when she had left, if that was possible. Sighing again she slipped off her cardigan and hung it on the back of her chair, pushed the shut off button on her desktop's screen, and closed the texts sprawled across her desk shoving them into her bag.
"Leaving a little early tonight, eh Doc?" commented the security guard as she made her way toward the side entrance. She smiled, "Early Sal?" He laughed at her, "I'd say that I see you leave later than this more often than I see you leave earlier. You have yourself a good night Doc, stay dry." She called back from the doors, "No chance of that Sal."
The umbrella she held did little to protect her from the pouring rain as gusts of wind kept blowing droplets against her body. She hurried over to her car and typed in the lock code before closing the pitiful umbrella and sliding behind the wheel.
By the time she unlocked the door to her apartment it was five of eleven and she was ready to crawl into bed. After shutting and bolting the door and tossing her coat and bag into a chair in her living room she made her way into the kitchen. After opening the cupboards and the fridge, all nearly empty she settled on two day old sesame chicken that smelled okay. After popping it into the microwave she headed to the bedroom peeling off her shirt and unbuttoning her trousers on the way. Stripped down to her bra and panties she tossed the clothes she had worn all day into the hamper in the adjoining bathroom and pulled an oversized tee.
Making her way back to the kitchen she saw a blinking red 3 on her answering machine. Flopping onto the couch she pressed play. "Seffie? Seffie it's your mother. I wanted to know what you were doing next weekend; your sister wants to have a family dinner with Paul. Considering they are engaged now I really think that…." she rolled her eyes and pressed the delete button. She could only imagine the rest of her mother's message. After deleting the next message that offered to have your debt cut in half the last message played, "Doctor Lourds this is David Russo from the Boston police department. I was directed to call you about about some remains that were found in a city pond. Our medical examiner doesn't know what to make of it. I've spoken with your boss, Dr. Richard Bernard and he assured me that you would be able to leave tomorrow morning. My phone number is 617-845-7732 let me know when you arrive to the airport and I will pick you up so that I can update you on the case."
Saphirra stirred creamer into the coffee that she had just purchased and looked about the airport. From what she had seen thus far Boston was a bustling city just like New York and D.C. Her coffee made she popped the top on the cardboard cup and, with her rolling suitcase grasped in one hand and her laptop and messenger bags slung over her other arm, she set off towards the exit to hail herself a cab. Though the detective who had contacted her had offered to pick her up from the airport she preferred to make her own way to her hotel, shower, eat, and then to the city morgue. Because she knew that once she began working on whatever it was that had brought her to Boston, the possibility of showering and a hot meal might become scarce.
Though the shower was on full blast and she had shampoo in her ears Saphirra was certain that she heard someone knocking on the door to her hotel room. However, considering she had no connections in Boston and therefore, she was quite sure that no one was knocking on her door. A few minutes later she stepped out of the shower and was drying off when she was certain she heard a sharp rap of a knock on her room door. Confused as to who would be searching for her she quickly tied one of the white robes hanging in the bathroom around her body and, ruffling her hair dry with a towel, she peeped through the spy hole on her door. There was obviously someone standing outside of her door but the only visible item was a blue stripped tie against a crisp white shirt.
He had been banging on the door to room 387 for the past seven minutes and still the doctor had not answered. The gentleman he had spoken with the day before had called him to let him know when the doctors flight would arrive and what hotel was booked. "The old geez is probably passed out in bed," he muttered to himself and lifted his fist to bang on the white door again when he heard the lock scrap. "Finally," he muttered to himself again as the door opened. Before him stood a woman, clad in just a hotel robe, casually drying her dark hair with a towel and peering at him with large, soft, grey eyes. "May I help you?" she asked with an annoyed tone to her voice.
Placing his hand on the door jamb he cleared his throat before speaking, "Sorry I'm looking for a Dr. Lourds. Is he here?" The woman stopped drying her hair and looked at his face for the first time, her beautiful eyes were lined with dark lashes and her mouth was slightly agape showing just a sliver of her white teeth. Tossing the towel over her shoulder and placing a hand, tipped with short, trim, unpainted nails on her hip she scrutinized him. "And who is searching for Dr. Lourds, may I ask?" He lifted his brow, surprised that the woman hadn't told him that he had the wrong room. This doctor was either really close with his young secretary or he blown off the offer of a ride from the airport so that he could have a 'visitor' before they got the investigation underway.
"I'm detective David Russo and I am here regarding a case the good doctor and I are working together." The woman seemed to come to a decision and invited him into the suite with a motion of her hand. He stepped into the room and immediately noticed that, unless there was someone hidden behind the bathroom door or in the closet, he was alone with the tantalizing woman who had answered the door.
"Is the doctor here?" he questioned her as she brushed past him and tossed the towel onto the bed. She gathered up a pile of what appeared to be her clothing and gave a short "Yes," before slipping into the bathroom and shutting the door, the lock clicking in place. David was baffled, the woman was clearly refusing to give him the answer he wanted. "What does the case entail?" the woman shouted through the bathroom door. Shaking his head in frustration he leaned agenized the desk supporting a lamp and typical hotel stationary, "Some remains were found in Frog Pond after the winter thaw, but I really think I should be discussing this with Dr. Lourds." After a few moments of silence the door creaked open and the woman stepped out, clad in brown slacks, a stripped button-up, and a light green sweater that hung open in the front. Her hair was up in some kind of twist thing and small green earrings dangled from her ears.
"I fear there has been some miscommunication detective," the woman stated as she stepped around him and reached into a messenger bag in the desk chair. She removed a small rectangle of plastic and handed it to him. Taking it he immediately realized that it was an id card with the woman's image on it and written across the front was her name, Dr. Saphirra Lourds. 'Oh shit,' he thought to himself. Handing back the id he stumbled over his words, "I didn't… Had I known… I am sorry for the miscommunication Dr. Lourds. I would have realized it sooner had you remained at the airport for pickup as Dr. Bernard had insisted you would."

A few weeks ago, I removed my car's transfer pump screen, cleaned it, and put it back into the tank.
As it turns out, the fell out when I put it back into the tank. The pump sucked all the rusty gook out of the tank and sent it into the fuel system. A few weeks later, my car started running on two cylinders.
A flow test of the injectors led me to discover that the injector's pickup screens were clogged with crap.
obviously, most Scirocco fuel injectors do not look like this, but CIS injectors are the same, they also have a screen in them. Note the clog.
So I removed the fuel filter. That bucket was white. All of the black stuff came out of the filter.
I cut it open, and saw bad things:
Time to flush the fuel system. First, I wanted to flush the feed side to clean all of the pumps. I put in a clear plastic 5/16" carburator fuel filter, and ran the hose back into the fuel tank. I ran the pump for more than an hour like this.
Here's the crap I collected:
Then I put a new fuel injection fuel filter in (not clear) and hooked the fuel rail back up. I pressurized the fuel system, and let that run for another hour. You can't use a clear plastic filter for this because the fuel pressure regulator runs the system at 43psi, more than the max 8psi of the fuel filter.
I soaked the fuel injectors in a tray full of SeaFoam overnight.
All is well now!
Moral of the story: CHANGE YOUR FUEL FILTERS!

"No doubt, Ahmadinejad's logic and composure in the face of the Columbia University head's disgracing remarks is a cause of pride for all Iranians," it wrote. "However, history will remember this behavior only if … he can prove that he trusts all academics and in all affairs."

Quite honestly, I don't think it was Mahmoo's logic and composure that made him appear unfazed, I think he just is really stupid and thick. He looked as if he wasn't getting it. Even when he was booed, he did not seem to understand why he was being booed.

Defector01 on September 26, 2007 at 11:40 PM
If Robert Spencer can't "win" a debate* with a Muslim, it's so laughable to me that the Leftards at Columbia thought they would be able to confront this monster. The Leftards are completely out of their league when dealing with Islam, which is what makes it so dangerous when the Left decides to do engage Islam on a global stage. Away from these shores there is no Left or Right… there is "America", so when the Left loses (as they are destined to), America loses because our enemies are emboldened by the humiliation the Left brings upon itself and us.
The Iranian President is not nuts or crazy. He is acting completely rational in light of his religious beliefs. These Muslims must be met in battle and defeated because surely if they had the capacity they would wipe us out. I dont see anything funny about this.
* By saying he can't win, i mean that no matter what he says, the Muslim he's debating will just lie or dissemble and never acknoweldge the truth.
VinceP1974 on September 26, 2007 at 11:48 PM
A horrible thought has been on my mind.
War with Iran is inevitable,
and if so, the faster we get on with it, the better off we will be.
redshirt on September 26, 2007 at 11:51 PM
Our next president will be the CINC for war against Iran.
All eyes are on Israel (a nation the size of Whales) because it's the home of God's chosen people. This is where the world as we know it will end. There are hundreds of prophecy in scripture that tell what's going to happen in the final battle for Israel. It'll be messy but I wouldn't bet against Israel if I were you.
Mojave Mark on September 26, 2007 at 11:57 PM
Others condemned the way Ahmadinejad was treated at Columbia University, where he criticized Israel and the United States and provoked laughter and jeers by saying Iran had no homosexuals.
Starting with fairly even numbers of males and females, no homosexuals is a pretty gutsy thing to say since if Islam allows up to four wives that then could leave up to three of four men with no good opportunity to marry.
Add to that men are kept separate from women and what do you think happens, less homosexuality?
He's a dirty, smelly little piece of ****, period.

Allah is a non-rational diety, so Mahmoud is actually being un-Islamic (and heretical) by his use of this Greco-Roman/Judeo-Christian form of intellectual corruption known as "logic".

Sadly you are right. The only way to wake up the brainwashed is to kill off and defeat as many as you can (to defend yourself and others) until they realize their evil ideology will not be tolerated let alone win against us; as we had to prove verses Germany and Japan. This is only true because the so called moderate muslims are too afraid to speak up and the ones who do are not covered by the media like the extremists are.
And islam does state that it is ok to lie to your enemies. Thus we can never trust what leaders like Ahmad-jihad say.
The global war on islamic terrorism is practically a verbatim repeat of Hitler's tactics to power. In fact, Hitler was even in cahoots and allied with some muslim leaders in the mid-east during ww2 for one common cause – eliminating jews.

His Islamic entanglements prohibit the free and open exhange of ideas in regards to modern society. His brain cannot comprehend what we do because his religion inhibits free thinking.
What comes naturally to us in a free republic is quite complicated to Islamofascists.
David Asman correctly observed how natural it comes to Americans living in a neighborhood to coexist despite religious differences because we respect the rule of law and the concept of different beliefs. He contrasted American society to a Lebanese street intersection where one side was Christian and the other was Muslim. While Americans would be polite despite religious differences, Lebanese throw bottles, rocks and shoot at each other because of the same differences.
Apply that to the Iranian leader and you can understand how incorrigible he is.
The only thing those ignorant in America learned of Iran is just how backwards their society is. Liberals will silently observe just how lucky they are to be Americans (but they will still be ashamed). Socialists will decry our rudeness (and continue onward in their delusional haze), and free Muslims will be be polarized: some will be galvanized in their reasoning for coming over here, and others will speak out in support (and whistle past the cemetery).
Black Adam on September 27, 2007 at 6:44 AM
The idea that parading this shaved ape around NYC would be perceived as a huge victory for Islam somehow was missed? The President of Columbia proves without a doubt that he is a fool. The President of this country comes off as caring less, and the mayor of NYC, only six years after 9/11, is bored.
Meanwhile, Americans fighting to defend us all lose their life due to said shaved ape. This war is a waiting game, and we're losing. Meanwhile, the enemy gets to visit our soil at will, and we congratulate ourselves for being so wonderful.
Hening on September 27, 2007 at 9:03 AM
This was all just an obnoxious distraction, but to me, the reality of the situation in Iran is driven home by two points. The complete disorientation of this little parrot, and the propaganda spewed by his state-controlled media after the fact.
We will be bombing this shithole sooner than anyone would wish to.
Jaibones on September 27, 2007 at 9:34 AM
Meanwhile, the enemy gets to visit our soil at will.
Hening on September 27, 2007 at 9:03 AM
That didn't have to happen. People like MM and others came out to try to prevent an Ahmad. visit to Ground Zero, or to protest him elsewhere, but any such visit could have been stopped. He received state dep't approval to travel where he did. We were/are under no legal obligation to allow him to venture much beyond the UN Headquarter's Zone, and his hotel. We are not, in fact, under any legal obligation to have allowed him into the country at all. Part of his diplomatic triumph if you will is our own government's doing.

TexasDan on September 26, 2007 at 11:13 PM
Come on now. It's a valid point that Bollinger was rude, even though what he said was true. But since it was true, why invite the guy? Neither American's or American Universities are required to give a platform to idiots. This whole incedent was Bollinger trying to maintain credibility with people. It was shallow and rude, for Bollinger, the host, to treat his guest this way. Anyone else in this "forum" could have said that stuff and it would have been ok.
samuelrylander on September 27, 2007 at 3:45 PM
Bollinger now owes a massive apology to every conservative who's freedom of speech at CU has been thwarted by the mindless lefties they call students and faculty at that institution. Reference Coulter's column of this week, she says it better than anyone else can.
Yesterday on a local San Diego talk show, a liberal caller attempted to define a moral equivalence between the U.S. and Iran. The (il)logic runs like this:
1. The U.S. supplied arms to Afghanistan to fight the Russians
2. The U.S. supplied arms to Iran to fight the Iraqis
3. Later, the U.S. supplied arms to Iraq to fight the Iranians
Therefore, we have no right to be hostile to Iran just because they are supplying arms to jihadists in Iraq.
This might seem to be a sound argument on the surface, until you give it a millisecond of thought. Russia was attempting to conquer Afghanistan, and we provided arms for a free people to keep themselves free. While the Shah was in power in Iran, that nation was more free than it has been at any time since, and when Iraq attempted to invade, we provided arms for the Iranians to remain free. After the Shah was deposed and Iran was taken over by the extreme Islamists, and decided to destroy Iraq, we provided arms to Iraq to maintain the balance of the region against the extremists.
Now, we've invaded Iraq to remove a murderous tyrannical regime, and are engaged in helping that country become free and capable of self-government, and Iran is supplying arms to the terrorists and jihadists who are attempting to prevent Iraq from establishing a free form of government.
The U.S. has always tried to be on the side of liberty, and that makes us the good guys.

Police in Norway recommended the temporary closure of two Jewish museums for fear of attacks, while Danish police dispersed a pro-Israel rally out of concern for participants' safety.
Following police advice in Norway, the Jewish museum in Trondheim closed indefinitely July 25, while the larger Jewish museum of Oslo was to remain shuttered until at least July 29, broadcaster NRK reported.
Police advised the museums to close amid reports that jihadists with fighting experience from Syria were planning an imminent terrorist attack on Norwegian soil. Extra security was posted at other potential targets, including Oslo's main airport.
Also on July 25, police in Copenhagen cut short a demonstration of support for Israel and peace in the Middle East that the Danish Zionist Organization had organized near parliament with a group of Iranian dissidents, apparently out of concern they could not guarantee safety for the rally participants. — jta

Chandigarh, Apr 18 (UNI) Calling for an integrated and holistic approach to address the agrarian crisis, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today warned that unless the frightening input-output dichotomy was removed, India would soon turn into a biggest importer of food grains.
''We are fast heading towards a situation where the un-remunerative nature of agriculture is driving farmers away from farming and if this trend continues, India may have to rely almost entirely on import of foodgrains,'' Mr Badal said while addressing the second meeting of NDC Sub-Committee on agriculture and related issues at New Delhi today.
Taking part in the deliberations, Mr Badal strongly pleaded the case to make agriculture a profitable enterprise as the ever widening gap between the cost of agricultural inputs and MSP had put the peasantry in quandary. He said the policies of the Centre for the fixation of the prices of agricultural inputs such as diesel, fertilizers, pesticides coupled with the non-remunerative MSP were resulting in wide spread distress and disillusionment amongst the farmers.
The farm indebtedness was constantly mounting and farmers were committing suicide day in and day out, he said. He cited a study based on survey conducted by Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, that claimed 82 per cent of the farmers were in the debt trap.
He was of the view point that liberal devolution of funds or resources to the states could improve the investment in the agricultural sector. He asked the Union Government to evolve an action oriented policy with emphasis to improve the poor economic lot of the farmers.

The loo blocked up and at 5am poor Zed was trying to unblock it. No luck and we all had to use the downstairs loo and make sure the kids didn't flush the upstairs loo in case it overflowed. We were all joking about it - except for Zed - who hadn't enjoyed tackling the loo so early in the morning. Merle commented how they can put people on the moon but still can't sort out the loos in her part of the world.Merle was out for the day and was the first to leave so we saw her off, packed and then also left Kintbury.
We went to Hungerford and went for a walk with Ray, Louise and the girls around Hungerford. There is an island in the middle of Hungerford which used to be a leper colony during the Middle Ages. Rows of houses have been built upon the island and on bridges across the river
Ray showed us one of their two garden allotments - they grow a lot of their own produce and he and Louise love working in their allotments. The girls... not so keen.There has been a resurgence in the popularity of allotments in the area as more and more people get back into gardening and growing their own stuff.
Whilst we were checking out the garden allotments, Louise was back home preparing an amazing Sunday roast lunch. It was a slow cooked pork belly finished in a roasting pan in the oven with a marinade of oranges, rosemary and some other spices. Absolutely delicious - wine, roast, apple pie and self saucing pudd on a wintery Sunday.
It was just a beautiful day and when we said goodbye we were all sad - but enthused that we may have talked everyone into coming over to Australia to visit. Amber had drawn a Christmas tree and they loaded us up with Christmas gifts to open on Christmas day.We were totally overwhelmed by their generosity and beautiful hospitality
Following the beautiful blue line on the Map App we made our way to South Cernsey near Cirencester. Marg, our very dear Marg, who is like my second mum and is Bella's godmother lives in Cirencester. My mum and Marg have been friend for 55 years and when I lived in the UK (when I was 18) Marg was my mum - stressing about me setting off to the continent by myself, worrying when I would come into her flat late at night -all the stressful things 18 year olds who think they are invincible do.
We couldn't stay with Marg so she gave me the name of a nearby pub. Marg met us at the pub - last time we saw her was about 7 years ago when she came out to Oz and came down to Sandy Pt with us. Many tears and hugs and then we stepped into the pub and stepped back in time.
The heavy oak beams, white ceilings, old furniture. Our family room is so low and gorgeous - Zed hit his head on the way in and hit his head a couple more times on the angled ceiling beams. The room has a sofa bed and a four poster bed. Adorable. From our window we look over the back beer gardens and can see a very fast flowing stream rushing past. We dumped our gear and followed Marg back to her place where she had a light supper prepared. We sat, talked and then sort of wilted. Bella was having a sleepover with Aunty Marg so I sorted her out and by the time we left she was fast asleep. We piled into the car and drove home and flaked.
Zoran's comments:
The pub is very old and it seems people were much shorter back then, about 4 foot tall apparently. The setting is picture-perfect, very much the way I pictured old English pubs should look.

New operator may use second hand buses, subject to conditions
The new bus service operator may use second-hand buses subject to a number of conditions laid down in the call for tenders for the service, Transport Minister Austin Gatt said in Parliament today.
He said that such buses have to be withdrawn from the roads in Malta when they are 15 years old and they have to meet engine emission requirements which lay down that: In Malta, at least 70 per cent of buses must have Euro III compliant engines while the rest have to be Euro IV complaint in the first year.
By the second year, 50% of the engines must be Euro IV compliant, and by the fourth year, all engines must be Euro IV compliant.
In Gozo, all buses must be Euro IV compliant immediately, and they must be Euro V complaint after five years.

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A Pender County Health Department worker who has been in the middle of several controversies within the department has a new job title.
Interim Health Director Amber Parker says Shirley Steele was promoted to Director of Nursing effective July 11. Parker said she made the decision to make the move June 30.
With the new title, Steele, who had been serving as the department's Bioterrorism and Preparedness Coordinator, also gets a raise from $53,877 a year to $56,671.
Steele was the department's Nursing Supervisor until being suspended and reassigned by then Health Director Jack Griffith after a sharps incident involving a dental intern at the department. Another employee accused Steele of mishandling the situation, but a county investigation cleared her, and Steele received back pay.
In June, Steele's private personnel file was leaked to WWAY and other media outlets. A criminal investigation led the Pender County Sheriff's Office to charge Health Department employee James Thomas Bellizzi with illegally releasing the information.

Among the drug users more familiar under the Dbol name. Initially it widely practiced in injections, and used on recovery from serious surgical interventions, injuries and serious infectious diseases. This form of the drug had a number of disadvantages:
Patients are also unpleasant with severe side effects, which are usual for injectable form of the drug. Methane has a high level androgenicity and actively contributes to the enhanced production of male hormones. In addition, a very negative impact exerted on the liver. Many patients recorded symptoms of hepatitis.
Taking into the considiration these drawbacks, scientists began to study the oral form of the steroid, which later became known as methandrostenolone.
American science luminaries John Ziegler in tandem with the company «Ciba-Geigy» developed and patented the new drug. It happened in the early 60's and later the steroid enters the broad market and is becoming very popular, not only among patients but among bodybuilding fans.
The tablet form of the drug, which greatly simplified the drug, can explain this. In addition, in the form of a tablet doesn't destroys when it enters the stomach, and immediately absorbed into the bloodstream.
In the early 80's, the former manufacturer stops the production and strictly prohibits all medicines that were distributed under the trade name Methandrostenolone. This was associated with a significant drug abuse in developing countries, where it began to prescribe to women and children who have problems with appetite, and there was a low uptake of proteins.
In the future, the company «Ciba-Geigy» lost its patent and the rights to all products containing Dianabol in its composition. After that, other companies acquired the right to brand, which have started to release the active drug under different names, and its wide dissemination among athletes. Steroids containing Dianabol, are beginning to appear with surprising speed in different countries around the world and actively go out to a broad consumer market.
Biological effects of methandrostenolone on the body is very similar to testosterone. The difference lies in that the methane in the form of a tablet has a lower level androgenicity that just played to favor of its popularity.
Many pharmaceutical companies put the release of the drug on the flow and made it accessible to everyone. Methandrostenolone with enviable activity is changing its name and on the shelves appear Metastenol, Dianabol, Nerobolum, Stenolon, Pronabol, Danabol, and many others.

Tennessee sophomore Rhyne Williams' bid for a position in a Grand Slam main draw begins Friday at the USTA Australian Open Wild Card Playoff in Norcross, Ga.
Williams faces second-seeded Tim Smyczek, who is currently ranked No. 171 in ATP World Tour rankings. The winner of the eight-player event is given a wild card into the singles main draw of the Australian Open in January.
The men's first-round matches start at 3 p.m. at the Racquet Club of the South in Norcross. Tickets are $10 for adults, and children 18 and under are admitted for free.
Williams and the 22-year-old Smyczek have never faced each other in professional or junior competition. Smyczek made his first career main-draw appearance at a Grand Slam in September, competing in both singles and doubles. Williams is currently ranked No. 769.
Williams, a Knoxville native, earned a position in the tournament in large part by the way he finished his fall collegiate season. He became the first Vol in 26 years to capture the singles title at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in Flushing, N.Y., beating defending champion Steve Johnson of Southern California in three sets in the final round. He ended the fall with a 13-3 record.
He also enjoyed success on the USTA Futures Tour during the summer as a member of the USTA Summer Collegiate Team. He was a finalist at the Pittsburgh Futures and compiled a 8-3 record in three professional events.
Williams joins Virginia's Michael Shabaz as the only two college players in the weekend draw. While this is Williams' first appearance in the Australian Open playoff, he previously competed at the USTA French Open Wild Card Playoff in 2009.

My Mark Twain
Mark Twain
Howells, William Dean
(From the Century Magazine, September, 1882)
In one form or other, Mr. Samuel L. Clemens has told the story of his life in his books, and in sketching his career I shall have to recur to the leading facts rather than to offer fresh information. He was remotely of Virginian origin and more remotely of good English stock; the name was well known before his time in the South, where a senator, a congressman, and other dignitaries had worn it; but his branch of the family fled from the destitution of those vast landed possessions in Tennessee, celebrated in The Gilded Age, and went very poor to Missouri. Mr. Clemens was born on November 30, 1835, at Florida in the latter State, but his father removed shortly afterward to Hannibal, a small town on the Mississippi, where most of the humorist's boyhood was spent. Hannibal as a name is hopelessly confused and ineffective; but if we can know nothing of Mr. Clemens from Hannibal, we can know much of Hannibal from Mr. Clemens, who, in fact, has studied a loafing, out-at-elbows, down-at-the-heels, slaveholding Mississippi River town of thirty years ago, with such strong reality in his boy's romance of Tom Sawyer, that we need inquire nothing further concerning the type. The original perhaps no longer exists anywhere; certainly not in Hannibal, which has grown into a flourishing little city since Mr. Clemens sketched it. In his time the two embattled forces of civilization and barbarism were encamped at Hannibal, as they are at all times and everywhere; the morality of the place was the morality of a slaveholding community: fierce, arrogant, one-sided -- this virtue for white, and that for black folks; and the religion was Calvinism in various phases, with its predestinate aristocracy of saints and its rabble of hopeless sinners. Doubtless, young Clemens escaped neither of the opposing influences wholly. His people like the rest were slaveholders; but his father, like so many other slaveholders, abhorred slavery -- silently, as he must in such a time and place. If the boy's sense of justice suffered anything of that perversion which so curiously and pitiably maimed the reason of the whole South, it does not appear in his books, where there is not an ungenerous line, but always, on the contrary, a burning resentment of all manner of cruelty and wrong.
The father, an austere and singularly upright man, died bankrupt when Clemens was twelve years old, and the boy had thereafter to make what scramble he could for an education. He got very little learning in school, and like so many other Americans in whom the literary impulse is native, he turned to the local printing-office for some of the advantages from which he was otherwise cut off. Certain records of the three years spent in the Hannibal Courier office are to be found in Mark Twain's book of sketches; but I believe there is yet no history anywhere of the wanderjahre, in which he followed the life of a jour-printer, from town to town, and from city to city, penetrating even so far into the vague and fabled East as Philadelphia and New York.
He returned to his own town -- his patria -- sated, if not satisfied, with travel, and at seventeen he resolved to "learn the river" from St. Louis to New Orleans as a steamboat pilot. Of this period of his life he has given a full account in the delightful series of papers, Piloting on the Mississippi, which he printed seven years ago in the Atlantic Monthly. The growth of the railroads and the outbreak of the Civil War put an end to profitable piloting, and at twenty-four he was again open to a vocation. He listened for a moment to the loudly calling drum of that time, and he was actually in camp for three weeks on the rebel side; but the unorganized force to which he belonged was disbanded, and he finally did not "go with his section" either in sentiment or in fact. His brother having been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Nevada Territory, Mr. Clemens went out with him as his private secretary; but he soon resigned his office and withdrew to the mines. He failed as a miner, in the ordinary sense; but the life of the mining-camp yielded him the wealth that the pockets of the mountain denied; he had the Midas touch without knowing it, and all these grotesque experiences have since turned into gold under his hand. After his failure as a miner had become evident even to himself, he was glad to take the place of local editor on the Virginia City Enterprise, a newspaper for which he had amused himself in writing from time to time. He had written for the newspapers before this; few Americans escape that fate; and as an apprentice in the Hannibal Courier office his humor had embroiled some of the leading citizens, and impaired the fortunes of that journal by the alienation of several delinquent subscribers.
But it was in the Enterprise that he first used his pseudonym of "Mark Twain," which he borrowed from the vernacular of the river, where the man heaving the lead calls out "Mark twain!" instead of "Mark two!" In 1864, he accepted, on the San Francisco Morning Call, the same sort of place which he had held on the Enterprise, and he soon made his nom de guerre familiar "on that coast"; he not only wrote "local items" in the Call, but he printed humorous sketches in various periodicals, and, two years later, he was sent to the Sandwich Islands as correspondent of a Sacramento paper.
When he came back he "entered the lecture-field," as it used to be phrased. Of these facts there is, as all English-speaking readers know, full record in Roughing It, though I think Mr. Clemens has not mentioned there his association with that extraordinary group of wits and poets, of whom Mr. Bret Harte, Mr. Charles Warren Stoddard, Mr. Charles H. Webb, Mr. Prentice Mulford, were, with himself, the most conspicuous. These ingenious young men, with the fatuity of gifted people, had established a literary newspaper in San Francisco, and they brilliantly co-operated to its early extinction.
In 1867, Mr. Clemens made in the Quaker City the excursion to Europe and the East which he has commemorated in The Innocents Abroad. Shortly after his return he married, and placed himself at Buffalo, where he bought an interest in one of the city newspapers; later he came to Hartford, where he has since remained, except for the two years spent in a second visit to Europe. The incidents of this visit he has characteristically used in A Tramp Abroad; and, in fact, I believe the only book of Mr. Clemens's which is not largely autobiographical is The Prince and the Pauper: the scene being laid in England, in the early part of the sixteenth century, the difficulties presented to a nineteenth-century autobiographer were insurmountable.
The habit of putting his own life, not merely in its results but in its processes, into his books, is only one phase of the frankness of Mr. Clemens's humorous attitude. The transparent disguise of the pseudonym once granted him, he asks the reader to grant him nothing else. In this he differs wholly from most other American humorists, who have all found some sort of dramatization of their personality desirable if not necessary. Charles F. Browne, "delicious" as he was when he dealt with us directly, preferred the disguise of "Artemus Ward" the showman; Mr. Locke likes to figure as "Petroleum V. Nasby," the cross-roads politician; Mr. Shaw chooses to masquerade as the saturnine philosopher "Josh Billings"; and each of these humorists appeals to the grotesqueness of misspelling to help out his fun. It was for Mr. Clemens to reconcile the public to humor which contented itself with the established absurdities of English orthography; and I am inclined to attribute to the example of his immense success, the humane spirit which characterizes our recent popular humor. There is still sufficient flippancy and brutality in it; but there is no longer the stupid and monkeyish cruelty of motive and intention which once disgraced and insulted us. Except the political humorists, like Mr. Lowell -- if there were any like him -- the American humorists formerly chose the wrong in public matters; they were on the side of slavery, of drunkenness, and of irreligion; the friends of civilization were their prey; their spirit was thoroughly vulgar and base. Before "John Phoenix," there was scarcely any American humorist -- not of the distinctly literary sort -- with whom one could smile and keep one's self-respect. The great Artemus himself was not guiltless; but the most popular humorist who ever lived has not to accuse himself, so far as I can remember, of having written anything to make one morally ashamed of liking him. One can readily make one's strictures; there is often more than a suggestion of forcing in his humor; sometimes it tends to horse-play; sometimes the extravagance overleaps itself, and falls flat on the other side; but I cannot remember that in Mr. Clemens's books I have ever been asked to join him in laughing at any good or really fine thing. But I do not mean to leave him with this negative praise; I mean to say of him that as Shakespeare, according to Mr. Lowell's saying, was the first to make poetry all poetical, Mark Twain was the first to make humor all humorous. He has not only added more in bulk to the sum of harmless pleasures than any other humorist; but more in the spirit that is easily and wholly enjoyable. There is nothing lost in literary attitude, in labored dictionary funning, in affected quaintness, in dreary dramatization, in artificial "dialect"; Mark Twain's humor is as simple in form and as direct as the statesmanship of Lincoln or the generalship of Grant.
When I think how purely and wholly American it is, I am a little puzzled at its universal acceptance. We are doubtless the most thoroughly homogeneous people that ever existed as a great nation. There is such a parity in the experiences of Americans that Mark Twain or Artemus Ward appeals as unerringly to the consciousness of our fifty millions as Goldoni appealed to that of his hundred thousand Venetians. In our phrase, we have somehow all "been there"; in fact, generally, and in sympathy almost certainly, we have been there. In another generation or two, perhaps, it will be wholly different; but as yet the average American is the man who has risen; he has known poverty, and privation, and low conditions; he has very often known squalor; and now, in his prosperity, he regards the past with a sort of large, pitying amusement; he is not the least ashamed of it; he does not feel that it characterizes him any more than the future does. Our humor springs from this multiform American experience of life, and securely addresses itself -- in reminiscence, in phrase, in its whole material -- to the intelligence bred of like experience. It is not of a class for a class; it does not employ itself with the absurdities of a tailor as a tailor; its conventions, if it has any, are all new, and of American make. When it mentions hash we smile because we have each somehow known the cheap boarding-house or restaurant; when it alludes to putting up stoves in the fall, each of us feels the grime and rust of the pipes on his hands; the introduction of the lightning-rod man, or the book-agent, establishes our brotherhood with the humorist at once. But how is it with the vast English-speaking world outside of these States, to which hash, and stovepipes, and lightning-rod men and book-agents are as strange as lords and ladies, dungeon-keeps and battlements are to us? Why, in fine, should an English chief-justice keep Mark Twain's books always at hand? Why should Darwin have gone to them for rest and refreshment at midnight when spent with scientific research?
I suppose that Mark Twain transcends all other American humorists in the universal qualities. He deals very little with the pathetic, which he nevertheless knows very well how to manage, as he has shown, notably in the true story of the old slave-mother; but there is a poetic lift in his work, even when he permits you to recognize it only as something satirized. There is always the touch of nature, the presence of a sincere and frank manliness in what he says, the companionship of a spirit which is at once delightfully open and deliciously shrewd. Elsewhere I have tried to persuade the reader that his humor is at its best the foamy break of the strong tide of earnestness in him. But it would be limiting him unjustly to describe him as a satirist; and it is hardly practicable to establish him in people's minds as a moralist; he has made them laugh too long; they will not believe him serious; they think some joke is always intended. This is the penalty, as Doctor Holmes has pointed out, of making one's first success as a humorist. There was a paper of Mark Twain's printed in the Atlantic Monthly some years ago and called "The Facts Concerning the Late Carnival of Crime in Connecticut," which ought to have won popular recognition of the ethical intelligence underlying his humor. It was, of course, funny; but under the fun it was an impassioned study of the human conscience. Hawthorne or Bunyan might have been proud to imagine that powerful allegory, which had a grotesque force far beyond either of them. It had been read before a literary club in Hartford; a reverend gentleman had offered the author his pulpit for the next Sunday if he would give it as a homily there. Yet it quite failed of the response I had hoped for it, and I shall not insist here upon Mark Twain as a moralist; though I warn the reader that if he leaves out of the account an indignant sense of right and wrong, a scorn of all affectation and pretence, an ardent hate of meanness and injustice, he will come indefinitely short of knowing Mark Twain.
His powers as a story-teller were evident in hundreds of brief sketches before he proved them in Tom Sawyer and The Prince and the Pauper. Both of these books, aside from their strength of characterization, are fascinating as mere narratives, and I can think of no writer living who has in higher degree the art of interesting his reader from the first word. This is a far rarer gift than we imagine, and I shall not call it a subordinate charm in Mark Twain's books, rich as they otherwise are. I have already had my say about Tom Sawyer; whose only fault is an excess of reality in portraying the character and conditions of Southwestern boyhood as it was forty years ago, and which is full of that poetic sympathy with nature and human nature which I always find in Mark Twain. The Prince and the Pauper has particularly interested me for the same qualities which, in a study of the past, we call romantic, but which alone can realize the past for us. Occasionally the archaic diction gives way and lets us down hard upon the American parlance of the nineteenth century; but mainly the illusion is admirably sustained, and the tale is to be valued not only in itself, but as an earnest of what Mr. Clemens might do in fiction when he has fairly done with autobiography in its various forms. His invention is of the good old sort, like De Foe's more than that of any other English writer, and like that of the Spanish picaresque novelists, Mendoza and the rest; it flows easily from incident to incident, and does not deepen into situation. In the romance it operates as lightly and unfatiguingly as his memory in the realistic story.
His books abound in passages of dramatic characterization, and he is, as the reader knows, the author of the most successful American play. I believe Mr. Clemens has never claimed the reconstruction of Colonel Sellers for the stage; but he nevertheless made the play, for whatever is good in it came bodily from his share of the novel of The Gilded Age. It is a play which succeeds by virtue of the main personage, and this personage, from first to last, is quite outside of the dramatic action, which sometimes serves and sometimes does not serve the purpose of presenting Colonel Sellers. Where the drama fails, Sellers rises superior and takes the floor; and we forget the rest. Mr. Raymond conceived the character wonderfully well, and he plays it with an art that ranks him to that extent with the great actors; but he has in nowise "created" it. If any one "created" Colonel Sellers, it was Mark Twain, as the curious reader may see on turning again to the novel; but I suspect that Colonel Sellers was never created, except as other men are; that he was found somewhere and transferred, living, to the book.
I prefer to speak of Mr. Clemens's artistic qualities because it is to these that his humor will owe its perpetuity. All fashions change, and nothing more wholly and quickly than the fashion of fun; as any one may see by turning back to what amused people in the last generation; that stuff is terrible. As Europe becomes more and more the playground of Americans, and every scene and association becomes insipidly familiar, the jokes about the old masters and the legends will no longer be droll to us. Neither shall we care for the huge Californian mirth, when the surprise of the picturesquely mixed civilization and barbarism of the Pacific Coast has quite died away; and Mark Twain would pass with the conditions that have made him intelligible, if he were not an artist of uncommon power as well as a humorist. He portrays and interprets real types, not only with exquisite appreciation and sympathy, but with a force and truth of drawing that makes them permanent. Artemus Ward was very funny, that can never be denied; but it must be owned that the figure of the literary showman is as wholly factitious as his spelling; the conception is one that has to be constantly humored by the reader. But the innumerable characters sketched by Mark Twain are actualities, however caricatured -- and, usually, they are not so very much caricatured. He has brought back the expression of Western humor to sympathy with the sane orthography in John Phoenix; but Mark Twain is vastly more original in form. Derby was weighed upon by literary tradition; he was "academic" at times, but Mr. Clemens is never "academic." There is no drawing from casts; in his work evidently the life has everywhere been studied: and it is his apparent unconsciousness of any other way of saying a thing except the natural way that makes his books so restful and refreshing. Our little nervous literary sensibilities may suffer from his extravagance, or from other traits of his manner, but we have not to beat our breasts at the dread apparition of Dickens's or Thackeray's hand in his page. He is far too honest and sincere a soul for that; and where he is obliged to force a piece of humor to its climax -- as sometimes happens -- he does not call in his neighbors to help; he does it himself, and is probably sorry that he had to do it.
I suppose that even in so slight and informal a study as this, something like an "analysis" of our author's humor is expected. But I much prefer not to make it. I have observed that analyses of humor are apt to leave one rather serious, and to result in an entire volatilization of the humor. If the prevailing spirit of Mark Twain's humor is not a sort of good-natured self-satire, in which the reader may see his own absurdities reflected, I scarcely should be able to define it.

All about units buddy. If youre playing 5 units on the spurs, then you would need to picknthe spurs 5 times in the picks section. Otherwise its pointless to say how many units you are playing because its only being counted as one. If you have the Kings at 2 units, you would need to enter the Kings pick twice in the picks section. If you are using the picks section to keep track of picks. Just my 2 cents
Solid pick tonight Baseball King!! Nice 7-3 run

Comments about Yamaha ls16m_are:
Great redesigned neck lets you play right up the fret board and the trebles get sweeter. Mid tones just lead the way with a balanced output. Bass is not overpowering and sustains well. Smaller body ooo size just fits perfectly and can play it for hours. Smaller body also works really well for DADGAD or D tuning. Projects well and great sustain. This guitar just sings and you can play it any style you like.

Bozeman High students stay home after threats of violence, canceled assembly
BOZEMAN, Mont. - "It's just kind of like a fun event and getting everybody excited for Christmas" said Ellie Palakovich, about the yearly talent show at Bozeman High School.
Palakovich and friend Randi Williams were looking forward to the annual assembly on Friday, on the last day of school before winter break.
But on Thursday afternoon- "the people came over the loudspeaker and telling us that the assembly was cancelled" Palakovich said.
That's when the freshman girls found out that someone made threats to commit an act of violence during the assembly.
School Superintendent Rob Watson posted a letter announcing the cancellation, and assured families of the school's safety.
"We immediately involve law enforcement whenever we have a potential threat to school safety" he said. "We're tracking down the rumors."
They haven't found the rumor's source, but Watson said they erred on the side of caution- considering recent events. Police upped their school presence.
"Just walking and patrolling, you know it's one- security, two- is for piece of mind" said Bozeman Police Lt. Dave McManis. He said two uniformed officers walked the school hallways the rest of the week, and plan to attend all school-related events through the holidays.
Both girls went to class on Friday, but said desks were empty. They felt uneasy, so Ellie's mom picked them up.
"It wasn't really comfortable" Randi said.
Watson said they saw a 10 to 15 percent increase in absences compared to the day before winter break last year. Ellie and Randi said there was a lot of tension.
"I feel like a lot of people were really disappointed that someone would make that threat, and just frustrated that people are doing these things" Ellie said.
The girls said they're glad the school is taking measures to keep them safe. They both said they noticed the police patrols, and it helped ease the anxiety.
But ultimately, they said, it didn't change the fact that someone ruined the last day of school for the year.
"It was just supposed to be a fun day before break, rather than having to worry about going to school and being safe" Randi said.
Superintendent Watson said they postponed the talent show until January or February, and everyone we talked to on Friday said they hope things will calm down after winter break.
The school district and police continue to investigate the threats. Lt. McManis said they've interviewed dozens of students.
District officials and police are continuing to meet with each other to come up with a long-term plan.

When the Lions first toured Australia exclusively in 1989, they took a few days off after the second Test and went to a resort in Surfer's Paradise for a few days' rest and relaxation. Twelve years later, when the series against the Wallabies was also level at 1-1, they opted to go straight from Melbourne to Sydney.
The Lions lost in 2001 having been successful in 1989 and when the management visited Australia more than a year ago to prepare for this tour, they were so taken with Noosa, a small town on the Sunshine Coast, they decided it would be where they started the final week of the trip.
"It is a tough assignment but someone has to do it," said the head coach, Warren Gatland, after checking what Noosa had to offer. The local council had agreed to pay £40,000 to improve the facilities of the Dolphins rugby club, where the tourists will train this week but it was the weather, the promise of almost constant sunshine, that was the hook. When the Lions arrived in Noosa, it was raining and continued to do so for the rest of the day. More was forecast for Monday, turning to showers on Tuesday, but it did not stop some of the players having a go at surfing and paddle boarding.
"The players are having a couple of days off," said the Lions' defence coach, Andy Farrell, "but they are already grabbing the coaches and sitting around the computers, looking and analysing. They are itching to go but we have to make sure that we do not play the emotional card too soon, saving it for the end of the week. This is the ideal place to get away and have a relaxing time to recover and recuperate, getting back on the horse on Wednesday."
It was Sir Ian McGeechan's idea 24 years ago, when he was the head coach, to take the players out of the big cities at a time he knew they would be mentally and physically jaded having been playing rugby for nigh on 10 months without a break. "It was the first time there had been no midweek fixture before the final Test and it gave us the opportunity to disappear somewhere and forget about rugby for a while," McGeechan said. "I gave the players a couple of days off and it was probably just as well because after our victory in the second Test, the Australia media were all over us.
"They were accusing us of rough tactics and a lack of ability, looking to get a reaction ahead of the decider in Sydney. We did not have any media access when we were in Sanctuary Cove and the players had no idea about the storm that had blown up."
Not everyone believes in the policy of splendid isolation. Sir Clive Woodward, whose 2005 Lions had a midweek match against Auckland four days before their final Test, believes an extra flight, never mind one little more than 12 hours after the final whistle in Melbourne, is not good preparation for the final push.
"It is about relaxing and letting the pressure go off a little bit before building it back up later in the week," said the hooker, Tom Youngs. "We went down to the beach this afternoon even though it was not, unfortunately, sunny and a few of the boys went in the sea. There were some surf boards flying about and while you cannot take your mind completely off the match on Saturday, it's nice not to have training tomorrow or on Tuesday. You can sit down and think about what you are going to do together as a team and that is a good thing."
In 1993 and 1997, the Lions played midweek matches throughout the tour but back in Australia in 2001 they again had a clear final week. They opted not to seek sanctuary for a few days, moving into a hotel overlooking the beach in Manly. It was not a tour in which rest and relaxation were ever on the menu and the final Test was lost.
Farrell said that fatigue would not be a factor this week, even though some players have had little time away from the game for more than two years with the 2011 World Cup followed by major summer tours but there is little more to be done in training now. It is all in the mind.

An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge Point Of View
What point of view is used in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"?
4 Answers | Add Yours
The story opens with the 3rd person omniscient point of view. Its effect is a colder and more emotionless tone to the story. The narrator knows everything that is happening and is simply presenting the facts to the reader. There is a guy on a bridge. There are some soldiers there. The guy is about to be hanged.
In part two of the story the narrative point of view shifts from third person omniscient to third person limited. The story focuses on Peyton Farquhar. Not only Peyton, but also Peyton's thoughts and emotions. The reader doesn't know what the Union soldier is thinking. The reader doesn't know what Peyton's wife is thinking either. What the reader knows is what Peyton does, says, and thinks. This narrative shift causes the reader to be much more sympathetic to Peyton. The reader cares about him and wants to see him succeed. The reader feels that it was a rotten trick to get him on that bridge. The reader shares Peyton's joy as the rope breaks, and his fears as he tries to complete his escape. The reader feels close to Peyton, because he is the only character that we really know anything about. It's a fantastic point of view shift, and the amazing thing is that the reader hardly notices that it has occurred.
You have two kinds of narration, first person and third person. In first person, a character in the story is telling it, giving the reader only his/her thoughts and feeling about the other characters and the events. Third person is when you have a narrator who is not a character in the story telling us the story. Third person can be limited or omniscient. Limited third person allows the reader to know the thoughts and feelings of one of the characters. Third person omniscient gives us the thoughts and feelings of more than one character, but not necessarily all of them. It can be as many characters as the author feels is necessary in order for the story to be told.
This celebrated short story is divided into 3 sections, with each one having its own narrative technique. In the first section, it is told from the third person point of view where the narrator is an objective outsider telling the story. It describes the setting of the execution. The second section is third person limited because it gives us some of Farquhar's thoughts and feelings. It provides us with the background information on the events leading up to Farquhar's hanging. The third section starts where the first one ended, back on the bridge when Farquhar falls into the water. Now the viewpoint becomes first person because the reader is told how Farquhar feels as he tries to escape and get back to his home thirty miles away. At the end of the third section, narration switches back to third person, telling us Farquhar is dead.
By switching the narrative technique of each section, Bierce creates confusion in the reader to reflect what the main character is feeling, allowing us to take part in his hallucinations.
this short story is mix between two points of view;
third person dramatic: where it is just telling the facts and what is happening
third person limited omniscient: where it is telling the story from one character's perspective- only his thoughts
thirds person

As this series on breakout fantasy players progresses I should point out that I don't expect all of these players to "break out." We never know what the season has in store for any individual player, that's the game. But I do think all of these guys have a chance to break out and be productive fantasy performers. When draft day comes, the trick is to load up on guys in the early round who have the highest probability of carrying your squad, and then to spend the middle and late rounds filling out the roster with as many potential breakout candidates as possible.
They won't all work out, but some will.
You'll notice that rookie running backs dominate this list. That's because year after year the rookie backs remain some of the biggest draft-day bargains. It often takes a few years for players to adjust to the NFL level at other positions, but running the football is a skill that translates well from the college ranks. Just like real football, in fantasy the strategy with RBs is to get 'em while they're young and run 'em into the ground.

Six Breakout Tight Ends for 2009
11 Breakout Wide Receiver Candidates
1) Donald Brown, Rookie, Indianapolis Colts: My gut feeling on Brown is that he'll be one of the biggest fantasy stories of 2009. Rushing 5 times for 58 yards in the preseason opener against the Vikings has only heightened my expectations. The 2008 NCAA leading rusher out of UConn was the best Colt on the field, showing excellent vision and burst. Although this figures to be a strict committee in the early going, I'm about ready to give up on Addai as a runner (just one game over 80 yards rushing in his last 20 contests) and I'm bullish on the rookie's chances of thriving on artificial turf and in this offense. I think the explosive, shifty Brown is the Colts leading rusher and their primary back by the end of the season.
2) Darren McFadden, Second Year, Oakland Raiders: It's unfortunate that I know my league-mates will be reading this, because McFadden is one of my favorite picks this season. His carries will be limited in a scenario where he shares the backfield with the significantly more boring Justin Fargas, but he'll be active in the passing game. I see his total touches being somewhere in the 250 range. McFadden is just as game-breaking as he was a year ago, the toe injury is gone, and the Raiders are more committed to getting him the ball, particularly on what they're calling their "explosive plays." Unfortunately, he plays for the Raiders, so …
Six more breakout running back candidates, after the jump…
3) Derrick Ward, Fifth Year, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A year after posting over 1,400 total yards and a 5.6 YPC average sharing duties with Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw in New York, Ward is poised to see a much bigger workload in Tampa Bay. He's a powerful, complete back who will thrive in the passing game and open field. He should find plenty of room to run behind the mauling young line in Tampa and in Jeff Jagodinski's zone blocking scheme. Ward is being continually disrespected in drafts, but he could easily emerge as a solid RB2 option.
4) Kevin Smith, Second Year, Detroit Lions: I can't figure out why Kevin Smith is falling so far in drafts. Sure, he plays for the Li0-16ns, but as a rookie last season Smith still managed to put up a useful 1,200+ yards and 8 TDs in 8 2008 starts (keep in mind he didn't fully take over the starting tailback duties until midseason). The Lions, and Smith, are going to be better this season. The Lions offensive line didn't improve, but their overall offense should be better with Matthew Stafford under center and Scott Linehan taking over offensive coordinator duties. Smith isn't a burner, but he's tough and well-rounded. If he falls into the late 3rd or early 4th round, you may have found your weekly RB2.
5) Chris Wells, Rookie, Arizona Cardinals: Wells' draft stock has been slipping a bit in recent weeks, and that's a trend you should take advantage of on draft day. the Cards don't have much of a power rushing attack, preferring to spread the field, but the attention defenses must pay to Boldin and Fitzgerald on the outside should clear plenty of running lanes. Tim Hightower is still on the roster and remains a threat to steal carries, but Arizona drafted Wells for a reason. His big 6-1, 237-pound frame and 4.4 speed could translate into 900+ yards and 8 TDs. Just pay close attention to those shaky ankles and keep in mind he won't be very active in the passing game in PPR leagues.
6) Ray Rice, Second Year, Baltimore Ravens: The hype machine on Rice has started to catch up with the second-year back, making him less and less of a sleeper. But if Rice falls into the 6th round, be prepared to pounce. Le'Ron McClain has transitioned to FB and Willis McGahee is donezo. That means Rice should lead the Ravens strong rushing attack, and he could easily become your every-week RB2 or RB3. The fact that he'll be the most active back in the passing game should also bring consistency, especially in PPR formats.
7) LeSean McCoy, Rookie, Philadelphia Eagles: When healthy, Brian Westbrook is clearly the man in Philadelphia. When healthy. However, there's little question that Westbrook is entering the downside of his illustrious career. The exciting rookie is ready to pick up the slack if/when the veteran's seemingly inevitable injury strikes and McCoy has a very Westbrook-like skill set out of the box. The second-round pick out of Pittsburgh showed outstanding home-run ability and solid receiving skills last season, so he should fit in very well in this offense. McCoy is not a great blocker, but what do we care in fantasy? It's unlikely to keep him off the field with only Lorenzo Booker to beat out after Westbrook.
8 ) Shonn Greene, Rookie, New York Jets: The Jets already had a crowded backfield last year with Thomas Jones and the electric Leon Washington. Still, they felt the need to trade several picks and move up to draft the the iron-headed Shonn Greene. I'll be frank: I like Greene, and I don't like Thomas Jones. I think Jones' performance last year was a fluke, an outlier. I saw too much mediocrity in the preceding eight years to buy in, and now he's on the wrong side of 30. However, what we did learn from Jones' career year in 2008 is that the Jets efforts to upgrade their offensive line last offseason were more than successful. And with Rex Ryan's defense combined with a rookie QB, this team is going to run the ball.
I think Jones is going to either fall to earth or get injured, clearing the way for Greene, who impressed Coach Ryan at minicamp with his brute running style. In any event, Greene should be the goal-line back for the Jets. That makes him pretty attractive when he's going in the 12th round and beyond.

Book Review: The Bomb: A New History by Stephen M. Younger
Review by Elizabeth Quill
By Science News, 12:23 PM June 4, 2009
Nuclear policy in the United States has yet to escape the Cold War's shadow. In this account of the atomic bomb, a former director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency makes a case for a reanalysis of the nation's nuclear needs. "Our nuclear weapons stockpile is optimized for a threat that no longer exists," Younger writes.
Younger offers a straightforward account of nuclear weapons: how they were developed, how they work and how they forced humankind into constant vulnerability, straddling...

I read this story by Harvey Aarton in today's NY Times twice to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Now I have family and friends who root as hard and have long time association with the Bronx Bastards as I do with the Mets but this dickhead, Jeremy Flung is an embarrassment to not only the Highlander fans but to all fans who live through thick and thin with their allegiance to the teams they root for. How in the world can you call yourself a Highlander fan and not only go to Fenway but wear a Red Sox cap and ROOT for the Old Town Team? Can you picture yourself wearing a Phucking Phillies cap and going to CPB to root for the Phelatios? Hell to the god damn No you wouldn't. The only thing I rooting for as it goes for the Phinks is they all eat in one of those greasy cheesesteak dumps and get food poisoning

The show might be called Mad Men but for four seasons, it's the female characters who have made the show so compelling beyond the drama's central thread, the ongoing identity crisis of Don Draper.
Each of the three leading female characters has had to deal with life-changing crises from which they've emerged scarred but sometimes tougher. Meanwhile, the actresses behind them have become stars with careers which now stretch into movies, Broadway - and all the way to New Zealand.
Here's how the women of Mad Men are faring ...
January Jones as Betty Francis
Her character: Seen less in the fourth season, the former Mrs Don Draper is now enjoying a second unhappy marriage with her political adviser husband Henry Francis while trying to cope as a mother of three. She is finding it especially tough with her daughter Sally who is learning how to play her divorced parents off each other.
Her own career: In 2011, she starred opposite Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger in the thriller Unknown and played the ice queen villain Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class. Her latest film is Seeking Justice by New Zealand director Roger Donaldson which also stars Nicolas Cage and Guy Pearce.
Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway
Her character: As season four closes, Joan's briefly rekindled affair with Roger Sterling has left her pregnant, though she's told her army doctor husband Greg, who's now in Vietnam, that he's the father. At work she's been promoted to Director of Agency Operations in recognition of keeping the ad firm afloat during its troubled times, but there's no increase in salary to go with the job title.
Her own career: Hendricks seems to have had more magazine covers than roles which have sprung from her Mad Men profile. Though she had a memorable, if short-lived turn in last year's critically acclaimed Drive, as well as supporting roles in comedies I Don't Know How She Does It and Life as We Know It. Hendricks can also be seen on the big screen in Company, a staged-for-cinema production of the Stephen Sondheim musical also starring fellow television faces Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert and Jon Cryer. It opens in selected New Zealand cinemas on April 12.
Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson
Her character: The agency's resident proto-feminist started out as a secretary but became the company's only female copywriter and is now second in charge to Don Draper of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce creative department, despite facing resentment from her male colleagues. She has started seeing political writer Abe Drexler, who should give her a line to the rising 60s counterculture in the forthcoming season.
Her own career: Elisabeth Moss has been a film regular before and since her Mad Men days began - her forthcoming films include Lawrence Kasdan's Darling Companion with Kevin Kline and Diane Keaton, as well as a role in Walter Salles' adaptation of Jack Kerouac classic On The Road. Most recently though she has been in Glenorchy near Queenstown, filming the lead role in Top of the Lake, Jane Campion's six-part miniseries for the BBC and the Sundance Channel.

Being able to conceive after reaching menopause is not impossible for most women. One may be able to have a child or get pregnant even after reaching the menopausal stage. This happens when there is a hormonal imbalance in the woman's body.

Where I stayed
Island Prism
We were welcomed warmly by Jason and Danielle, and invited to dinner; delicious kokoda created from freshly caught local fish, followed by home-made ice cream
We spent a few days within the shelter of the reef, diving with Jason and his local divemaster Abel. The diving was adventurous and amazing. Ancient and pristine corals, myriads of jewel-coloured reef fish, hordes of pelagics, and enough sharks to keep my camera busy! We saw sharks on every dive we did, and some came really close. The closest was apparently the one that glided a couple of metres away from me whilst I was fully absorbed photographing clownfish. Fortunately reef sharks are generally placid and I have all limbs intact, and got some decent clownfish snaps, though I'd rather have got the shark! Clownfish are a lot of fun to take pictures of as they peer out of their anemones; many have the personality of a small yappy-type dog and will try to scare off the big diver who is 100 times bigger than they are
We dived a variety of sites on the inner and outer reef, with the passages to the outer reef supplying the richest life and best colours. The Nagoro passage quickly became our favourite site, rich with life transitting between inner and outer reef. Our first dive there was an drenaline rush; a roaring current swept us along as though we were flying. I felt like Superman as we ripped along! No chance of staying still long enough for any pictures! Our second dive on the passage, at a site called Fish Market, tumbled us into 3 metre swells. Under the water it was calm, and the big pelagics were on the move; eight reef sharks, Spanish mackerel, enormous groupers and Maori wrasse, with beautiful green moko patterns on their blue faces. Some of the sharks were in hunting mode, cruising by and through the huge schools of fish on the reef edge. Others were resting on the bottom; two (one which we think was pregnant), let Jim and I get very close. We tried to alert the rest of the group, but nobody noticed, so we had an amazing encounter all to ourselves.
Archway was another awesome site that rivaled Nagoro; a dramatic swimthrough, sea snakes, schools of barracuda and more sharks. Again, we had big swells and so were told to descend straigh away so we would not risk injury from the bucking boat. On the count of three we all rolled back, a couple of us descended but the divers on the other side of the boat bizarrely stayed at the surface. After a couple of minutes they joined us; it was not until after the dive that we discovered what the technical hitch had been. One of the divers had landed on a sea snake, which proceeded to investigate his mask and hoses in great detail. Sea snakes are highly venomous but generally friendly; their fangs are at the back of their jaws and apparently the only parts of the human anatomy narrow enough for them to bite are the webbing between our fingers, and our earlobes. The diver was glad that the creature hadn't grown interested in his ear. I was disappointed not to get a photo. But we found a large snake later on in the dive, which let us get close, so it was ok. The final Nagoro dive, on an area known as the Japanese Gardens, revealed beautiful coral, a turtle gliding by us, just a few metres away, enormous pufferfish and more sharks and maori wrasse. The fish life, coral formations and general colours were fantastic. Add to that the aged reefs of Besi Bay, teeming with life, and we had some very impressive diving.
