Sarah's Phoenix: The Proposal
They traveled as fast as they could through the fields of grass and by the fifth day they had reached a road. Sarah finally felt back to normal again, mostly. The traveling seemed to tire her out more than it had before. Or maybe it was just that they were doing so much more of it than before. Sarah heaved a big sigh, as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It seemed as though, only moments later, she became aware of someone staring at her. Sleep made it hard to open her eyes, but at last she did. 'Jay?' she questioned seeing him staring at her. He didn't move. It was dark, so she couldn't read his expression, so Sarah sat up. She could sense something was bothering him. 'Is something wrong?' she asked, standing.
He sighed, 'Yes and no.' Sarah raised her eyebrows at him, wondering if he'd expound upon that statement. Jason looked around, then gestured her to follow him. The walked a little way from the camp to one of trees that dotted the side of the road.
'What's up Jay?' Sarah asked, her sleepiness shaken from the short walk. 'Something is obviously bothering you.' But he remained quiet, placing one hand on the trunk of the tree. Sarah watched him curiously for a while. But as his silence lengthened her heart began to fall.
'It's me isn't it?' she asked, fearing the worst. 'I've done something horribly wrong and irrevocable haven't I?'
'No,' Jason spun around to face her. Sarah was startled by the fierceness in his voice. He took her hands in his. 'No,' he said gently. Sarah looked into his face. It was strangely lit by the moonlight reflecting off the leaves of the tree. 'It is not you.' He stepped closer to her. Sarah's breath caught. He let go of a hand to brush back a strand of hair from her face. Then abruptly he stepped back.
Sarah frowned. Why did he keep distancing himself from her, she wondered. Sarah pulled her hand from his to place her fists on her hips. 'Not me?' she questioned. 'If it's not me then what is it?' She stepped towards him and he stepped back, clearly startled by her reaction. 'Things are coming to a close and you don't know what to do with me, is that it?' Sarah sighed and flopped down to lean against the tree. 'Well,' she figured she might as well speak her thoughts, even if he wouldn't. 'I know that, if I'm to stay female, I have to get married or something.' She wrinkled her nose at the thought of an arranged marriage. 'Though I suppose I could try to disguise myself and become a Scout; unless, you know of someone who might be able to stand my ignorance and lack of housekeeping skills?' Sarah looked up to see a shocked expression on Jason's face.
'Me,' Jason said quietly. Sarah furrowed her brows at him. She watched as he knelt beside her, his hand fumbling for something. 'Sarah,' he whispered, emotion choking his voice. Trembling he pulled out a necklace, and took two rings off it. 'I promised I would take care of you.' He took her right hand in his left. 'And I will.' He slipped the smaller ring on her right ring finger.
Sarah just stared at him. 'Are you,' she stuttered, 'proposing?' After all his distance, he was doing this and... Sarah looked at her hand shocked. He was giving her the ring he'd tried to give Rosaline. It was the same one Lady Angelina had given back to him after their engagement was broken. The one he'd said came from the Gods.
Jason slid the second ring onto his left ring finger. 'I do not know how this will work, Sarah. I am as likely to be disowned as I am to be discharged from the scouts. But,' he clasped her hands in his own and brought them to his lips. A rustling behind them made Jason spin around. It was Griffon.

Indexes have to be maintained, which can hurt your performance for certain types of load (i.e. inserts and deletes). Another issue is that they take up storage space. In Derby each index is represented by a file on disk. Finally, I believe Derby still has an issue with keeping the index statistics updated (but an automatic solution is being worked on). If you're loading up your tables with lots of data, consider creating the indexes after the load or compress the tables to update the statistics.

The Government must fight to save this innocent life in Pakistan
Sir: Justin Huggler's Opinion piece "Where are the protests to save this Briton?" (3 October) raises some important questions over who we choose to fight for. The Government's apparent lack of consistent effort to try to save Mirza Tahir Hussain from execution is particularly worrying. Consecutive governments have had years to take action and stand up for Hussain, a British citizen, yet they have failed to pursue his case.
With increasing numbers of people travelling abroad for holidays, business and gap years the number of desperate stories such as this will only increase. Hussain's case really highlights how we rely on small, but effective, NGOs such as Fair Trials Abroad to fight for the rights of individuals in such tragic situations. They are totally under-resourced for the scale of the work they face.
As we see more international agreements reached to facilitate extradition and a greater push for mutual recognition and enhanced police co-operation, we need to ensure that we are paying full attention to the rights of the accused to a fair process: if that does not exist, we are failing to protect our citizens.
General Musharaf has the opportunity to take a stand and intervene to save an innocent life and to show that justice is possible. I urge the UK Government to use the, now vital, next three weeks to pursue justice for Hussain and urge your readers to do the same.
Are Palestinians ready for peace?
Sir: I cannot make sense of the article by Sami Abdel-Shafi ("The strife of a people stripped of dignity", 3 October). If the Palestinian government gave up its fantasy of wiping a sovereign state (Israel) off the face of the earth, but instead recognised it and gave up violence, the Palestinian people would get unlimited aid. The walls would come down, the checkpoints would go and the economy would rapidly improve. It seems to me that Hamas does not really care for its people, who are now suffering extreme poverty, lawlessness and anarchy. To blame all this on Israel is sheer nonsense.
Sir: Democracy is more than winning a vote in an election. ("A storm of violence that we have done little to quell", leading article, 3 October). The key aspects of democracy include the existence, since the Treaty of Westphalia, of an international system of governance based on the nation state, the rule of law and peaceful actions to resolve disputes. Elections are an important part of a democratic process, but they aren't an end in themselves.
Democracies, have the right, and the responsibility, to clearly state their democratic priorities. The Quartet has done just that, by requiring that Hamas recognise Israel, renounce violence and abide by previous Israel-PA agreements. For there to be a lasting peace, there will undoubtedly need to be concessions. But the international community should not be forced to deal with Hamas until they meet the three key international conditions.
It would be hypocritical for any democracy or any liberal newspaper to talk about the importance of democracy and then call for concessions towards a terrorist organisation that flouts international law. As with the expectation in Northern Ireland that Sinn Fein would abandon violence before the political process took over, Hamas must play by the same rules. We must not allow Hamas to make a mockery of true democracy.
Sir: David McDowall (letter, 2 October) trots out the old mantra that Palestinian suffering is the direct result of Israeli occupation.
Most Israelis would vote for peace and territorial concession, but the Palestinians are led by a "government" whose hatred of Jews would not permit any peaceful co-existence and at each watershed of political dialogue, the Arab extremists have triumphed over the Arab moderates.
Instead of guns in the hands of the Palestinian youth, it would be good to see spades and picks, ready to build sewers, houses and schools, with the money that has poured into these territories over the years. Unfortunately, the money has been diverted into the coffers of the corrupt and it is so much easier to blame Israel for the hardships.
When Gaza was returned, instead of working for a showcase Palestinian land, which could prove to Israel and the world that having their own territory was the catalyst for peace, the area has been engulfed by turf wars and attacks on Israeli citizens.
Sir: The tragedy of the misplaced Palestinians may not be unique, as Lyn Julius contends (letter, 27 September) but it is unique in a post-colonial world for a supposedly fully paid-up member of the Western community of nations to occupy and oppress another people in order to seize its lands.
Israel has steadfastly refused to accept Resolution 242 and withdraw to its 1967 borders in return for a comprehensive settlement, in blatant contravention of one of the founding precepts of the UN: the inadmissibility of acquiring land by war.
New threats to personal privacy
Sir: "Spying on each other is just part of the world in which we live. Surveillance is not an activity reserved solely for the state", observes Andreas Whittam Smith in his comment on the Hewlett-Packard surveillance scandal (2 October ). Another example, from Greece, illustrates this point.
Between June 2004 and March 2005, telephone communications of MPs, police and military officials, amongst others, were being intercepted. The identity of the perpetrators has not been established yet, but it is known that the interceptions were made possible through interference with a privately owned mobile communications network. This revealed a reverse "Big Brother" situation that even George Orwell could not have anticipated: private individuals (or corporations) putting the state under surveillance.
However, when one thinks of individuals and corporations as capable of spying on the state, one realises the scope of surveillance possibilities in relation to other individuals. Further reference to Greece is most relevant here. The broadcast of tape recordings of private acts - surreptitiously obtained by journalists or other individuals working for them - has become a ritual faithfully followed by investigative TV programmes there, in spite of the existence of stringent privacy protections.
Of course, there is no need to look at examples from abroad to be reminded of the heightened modern risks for the ever-fading right to privacy in the United Kingdom: investigative journalism in this country provides one with innumerable examples of citizens spying on other citizens. Most worrying though is the fact that citizens are most often "accomplices" in a practice that undermines privacy protections, as the popularity of such TV programmes demonstrates.
Andreas Whittam Smith's warning is an essential call for greater public alertness in demanding respect towards the fundamental human value of privacy.
Workers' rights in the flower fields
Sir: News that the Kenyan flower industry is facing problems because farms are looking to relocate to Ethiopia, lured by tax incentives, comes as no surprise to many observers ("Where have all the flowers gone?", 3 October). Just as in many other industries, the flower industry is in the race to the bottom, where multinationals seek out ever cheaper costs. During a recent visit to Kenya, War on Want noted that problems such as poor pay, severe overworking and sexual abuse are common in many farms.
However, some improvements have been made and the workers' movement is gaining momentum. While there are valid fears for the future of the industry and the 40,000 jobs it creates, it is important that this is not used as a pretext to further erode workers' rights.
Can I speak to a human being?
Sir: Terence Blacker's ordeal with AOL's call centre (4 October) reminded me of a recent experience I had when phoning London Electric.
After sitting through the push-button options I selected to talk to an operator only to be told "We are currently very busy, please try again later", followed by the dialling tone. I repeated the process several times before deciding to select instead "If you are thinking of changing your provider please press 4". I was immediately connected to an operator without having to listen to even a single bar of "Greensleeves".
London Electric seemed to be willing to talk to me only if they might lose my custom. Terence's belief that for AOL "the customer exists only as a unit of potential profit" clearly holds good for some other corporations.
Tax breaks for green investment
Sir: Most people worried about global warming and climate change will accept that fiscal policy is a crucial motor of change; but why must our politicians see it only in terms of stick rather than of carrot ("Tories plan green levies", 3 October). Where is the problem in allowing capital expenditure to be set against tax?
The social group most likely to make a major attempt to reduce their personal dependence on fossil fuels are the property-owning retired. Many of them are rich in property, which they cannot easily realise, and which is a tax liability. If a government wants them to invest in the more expensive and more effective means of reducing carbon emission, they should be allowed to set their expenditure on such systems and devices against inheritance tax.
Such a scheme would encourage those who are deterred when they measure the extended pay back period of alternative energy systems against their own life expectancy, to see an additional, significant financial advantage in the investment. It would call for no immediate additional expenditure or loss of revenue income by government.
Unasked questions about breast cancer
Sir: I was interested to read the letters (3 October) on the possible links between chemicals and breast cancer. There is a study currently being carried out called "Breakthrough Generations: the UK study of the causes of breast cancer". In recent years insufficient attention has been paid to the causes of the disease. So many of my friends seemed to be getting breast cancer, but they didn't fall into the lifestyle risk categories: didn't smoke, didn't drink to excess, had healthy diets, took exercise.
This year this was brought into sharp focus for me as I was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine screening. I therefore was keen to fill in and answer the questionnaire from Breakthrough Generations. On studying the form I found there were several areas on data collection, which would have seemed to be important, that were not covered. One of those was exposure to everyday chemicals, but there was also geography - where a woman had lived throughout her life - and respondents' socio- economic background.
The reply I received to letters was that adding anything extra would have meant that women would have found the questionnaire too long to complete. With these significant rises in the incidence of breast cancer in the UK, surely it is urgent that further and more exhaustive studies are carried out?
Sir: Pete Barrett (letter, 4 October) writes: "Just because someone is unqualified, has no relevant experience, no references and none of the necessary skills to do the job is no reason to discriminate against them." Perhaps the Home Office would make them welcome?
Brits abroad
Sir: As a Spanish person I was surprised by your article "Do they mean us?" ( 28 September). It says that in Spain English people are called Guiris. In fact that word is applied to foreign people in general and may have a positive or negative meaning depending on the context. When we want to name those English people, fortunately a minority, who go to Spain on holidays intent on drinking and making a disturbance, we called them "hooligans" .
Long live the library
Sir: As a school librarian I was incensed to read the heading "Endless hours spent in dusty libraries are ancient history" ("Textbook answers", 4 October), because it implied that libraries are stuck in the Dark Ages. In fact, they are bright, welcoming places with computers, books and other resources, staffed by skilled librarians. Students have to use a wide range of resouces for their homework, not just the internet and have to specify the resources used as part of coursework.
The end of ageism
Sir: As a 55-plus working woman, I heartily endorse Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's cogently expressed sentiments on the new anti-ageism legislation ("At last, we oldies can assert our rights", 2 October). Let's hope that the new law will help to change our ageist culture. The need for respect across this last bastion of repression must be taken on board by banking staff and employees of other public companies, whose frequently patronising, pat-on-the-head attitudes towards customers of A Certain Age is both insulting and intensely irritating.
Memories of Marmite
Sir: My childhood might have been different without Marmite in it. When my grandmother moved from London to pre- Israel Palestine, she brought Marmite into the family she had married into. Marmite became my close companion. Growing up in Jerusalem, other kids, who had to smell that unique, potent scent emanating from my sandwiches, regarded Marmite as the English part of my roots. It certainly made me popular.

- BRCA1 signaling
- Ubiquitin signaling
Defects in the ability of cells to properly respond to and repair DNA damage result in genomic instability and underlie many forms of cancer. The goal of our research is to understand how cells respond to DNA damage and safeguard the integrity of the genome.
Cells have evolved a complex sensory network called the DNA damage response (DDR) to respond to genotoxic stress. The DDR coordinates cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, chromatin reorganization and transcription in response to damage. Once DNA damage is sensed, a phosphorylation signaling cascade is initiated by the central DNA damage kinases, ATM and ATR. Recently, a DNA damage induced ubiquitin signaling pathway has also emerged that works together with phosphorylation-dependent signaling to recruit essential repair factors to the sites of DNA damage. Damage-induced ATM/ATR phosphorylation on S139 of histone H2AX directly recruits MDC1 through MDC1's BRCT domains. MDC1 itself is a substrate of ATM/ATR, and its phosphorylation leads to the recruitment of a ubiquitin E2/E3 ligase RNF8/UBC13 to damage sites. We are seeking to identify additional players in this signaling cascade and investigate the role of each player in the DNA damage repair and signaling, as well as its role in cancer progression.
The RNF8/Ubc13-dependent ubiquitination on the damaged chromatin creates docking sites for BRCA1 complexes. The BRCA1 tumor suppressor is associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and plays critical roles in DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint control and maintenance of genomic stability. BRCA1 contains two C-terminal BRCT repeats and a N-terminal RING domain that binds BARD1 forming an E3 ubiqutin ligase. Recently we have identified a novel BRCA1 associated protein complex, the Rap80/Abraxas/BRCA1 complex (BRCA1-A complex). In this complex, Abraxas contains a phosphorylated SPxF motif at its C-terminus that associates with the BRCT domain of BRCA1. The BRCA1-A complex also contains a deubiquitination enzyme BRCC36. We are currently investigating how the BRCA1-A complex is involved in BRAC1's function in breast tumor suppression.
In summary, we are interested in using various biochemical and genetic approaches, such as gene knockouts, mass spectrometry and genetic screens using siRNA libraries, to identify important players in the DNA damage response and define the roles of these proteins in maintaining genomic stability and tumor suppression.

Dr. Kincaid helped me out a lot. I had been using prescribed drugs for my back pain for years, and was considering having surgery to fix my back problems. I went to Dr. Kincaid as a last resort, and am thankful every day that I did. He has changed my life in more ways than anyone could ever realize! His practices are all natural, and are completely safe. I wouldn't recommend anyone to take prescriptions for their back/neck problems, because chiropractic care is the solution. The drugs for spinal problems cause very much internal damage in the long run, and don't in any way fix your problems. They just numb you so you don't know how badly you need to be adjusted. Chiropractic care helps you live a better, longer life!

The Aimshot light arrived 2 days sooner than promised, It's everything i wanted in a tactial light with a strobe, it mounted perfectly on my AR-15. It lights up 1.5 acres like daylight and the strobe is blinding in close quarters. Great light,well built ! You need to buy this one.
Great Flashlight with lots of extras!
Comes with two batteries. Battery life is low so if you purchase then check out the rechargeable batterie packages at Battery Mart online. Great direct beam very strong even the low beam is stronger then most.
For the price and amount of lumen, you can not beat this!
Solid, well built but the switch has a curve to it making it very hard to mount.
Excellent light

The drop leaf comes in handy
The drop leaf comes in handy on this well designed and well priced set. The materials are sturdy and the chairs have a real pub feeling to them. Comfortable and durable, I am hopeful that they will last me for many years. The silver hardware is a nice detail and makes the whole set seem much more pricey. Overstock has delivered another winner that has made my home better.

A few weeks ago at my Bunco group, our host made a wonderful spread of pulled pork tacos and the fixins and a fabulous drink that I had to take the recipe down for! She called it "Skip and Go Naked!" and it was so delicious that you wouldn't believe it had alcohol in it!
The ingredient list is as follows, sounds a bit strange, but mix this baby up and you'll be surprised!
(makes one pitcher)
2 cans beer (your choice)
1 can frozen lemonade (pink or regular)
Vodka (your favorite brand)
Squirt soda
In a pitcher, pour in the beer and lemonade. Fill the lemonade can with vodka, add to mixture. Fill lemonade can with Squirt soda twice and stir. Serve over ice.
I'm making this today for my sister-in-law's block party and I'm hoping they love it as much as I do.
If you're not a beer fan, don't worry, you don't taste it! Really! Maybe I'll use pink lemonade and add a touch of red food coloring and change the name to "Firecracker!" Try it and let me know if you love it!


text: NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: US Solvents Market http://www.reportlinker.com/p091892/US-Solvents-Market.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Petrochemical US demand to rebound from recent lows US solvent demand will continue to rebound from its recessionary lows, rising more than one percent per year in volume terms through 2016. Increased demand for "green" solvents, particularly in consumer oriented markets, will drive advances, along with a rebound in the construction market where solvent consumption will increase at the fastest pace. Alcohols and glycols, both of which can be sourced at least partially from renewable resources, will achieve the greatest gains, while other green solvents such as butanediol, terpenes, and esters will rise at an even faster pace. While the solvent industry will experience healthy advances through 2016, even stronger growth will be limited by the ongoing shift away from oil-based paint, and industry efforts to reduce solvent consumption. Consequently, total solvent demand will not surpass the levels achieved in 2006 until after 2016. Rising demand for green products to continue affecting solvent industry A long term rise in consumer demand for environmentally friendly products is having a profound effect on the solvent industry as cleaning product and cosmetic and toiletry manufacturers increasingly introduce new or reformulated products that can be marketed as green because they use chemicals and/or solvents derived from renewable (green) resources. Improved public perception and government regulations are also driving the shift, both at the state and federal levels. In particular, the need to meet stricter VOC regulations has benefited demand for glycol solvents in the paint and coatings market, where they offer formulators excellent options to reduce VOC content. In the pharmaceuticals market, the need to meet stringent FDA and EPA regulations has prompted greater demand for alcohols -- in particular, ethanol. Chemical processors also looking to comply with VOC regulations are increasingly turning toward butanediol and its derivatives to lower VOC content while using solvents.

Kronfeld is now aiming to finish his club career in England and hopes to start playing on these shores at the start of next season.
The flanker admits he is talking to a couple of clubs, but Zurich Premiership leaders Saracens are refusing to fuel the speculation that they will be the lucky side to sign the No7.
Crucially, though, Sarries were offered the All Blacks star when he showed an interest in leaving New Zealand earlier this year.
For Sarries to get Kronfeld they will have to overcome a couple of hurdles. Firstly, they can only field two overseas players in each competitive match.
Secondly, they will also have to prove Kronfeld can be accommodated under the agreed £1.8 million wage cap.
It is expected that Kronfeld will be tempted to England by a package worth £200,000 a year and that figure scared off moves by French clubs to secure his services.
The club Kronfeld will be joining won't be revealed for another week or two and the 29-year-old said: "Negotiations haven't quite been completed. There are a couple of clubs involved." Kronfeld made his debut for New Zealand against Canada in 1995 and developed into one of the game's greatest flankers.
He played a starring role in New Zealand's drive to the 1995 World Cup final and was also in impressive form in last year's tournament.
However, his tireless workrate and totally committed style of play has taken its toll.
"I have retired from international rugby," explained Kronfeld.
"In some ways I am going to miss it, I know that, but I'm also looking forward to the break it's going to give me.
"I will probably be over in the UK playing for a club about halfway through or towards the end of next year. I have definitely been feeling a bit flat and I know I have had to make a conscious effort to be excited at training. With that becoming harder it just becomes a bit of a chore."
Kronfeld quit the international scene after finishing on crutches following last weekend's Auckland versus Otago NPC match.
He made the announcement after the final whistle in Dunedin.
It wasn't the knee injury that forced his decision but the realisation that his long run at Test level was about to end.
Kronfeld will be back running within two weeks and he ends his Test career knowing he overtook Michael Jones as the All Blacks' most capped flanker.
News that he would be heading for the UK came as a surprise in New Zealand as many believed the flanker would choose France, where a number of other All Blacks have set up home this season including Isitolo Maka and Glenn Osborne.
Kronfeld had been keen to end his All Blacks career on the tour of France and Italy later this year, but coaches Wayne Smith and Tony Gilbert appear to have told the Auckland legend they would prefer to use the tour to blood his successor.
He now hopes to be in France, as a spectator, to watch the All Blacks play in Paris and Marseilles during a holiday in Europe.
His only serious commitments at this stage are a couple of gigs around London with New Zealand musician Midge Marsden - Kronfeld is an accomplished harmonica player.
Kronfeld's arrival means two of the greatest open-side flankers to ever grace the game are completing their careers in England, following David Wilson's decision to join Harlequins after helping Australia win the 1999 World Cup.
All Blacks coach Smith may have lost Kronfeld, but full-back Christian Cullen has re-signed with the New Zealand Rugby Football Union until the end of 2003.
Smith said: "Christian could get a big price overseas - all of these guys can - but it's the silver fern that keeps him.
"It's that sort of sacrifice that keeps him playing in New Zealand because he can't get paid that kind of money here."

Dear Naughty Dog,
I really love your game Uncharted 3, but lately when I go in matchmaking for Team Deathmatch. None of the maps from the DLC "Flashback map packs number 1 and 2", showed up and its been like that for 2-3 days, so I decide to check the "Custom Matches" and looked if the maps are there and then they where. I even create a match to play on one of the maps and it worked perfectly fine, but when I go in matchmaking the maps doesn't show up at all and yes my ON/OFF button for DLC is ON I made sure like 10 times. So Naughty Dog can you please help me? I really miss the maps and would really like to play in them a lot more. Thank you.
Re: CAN'T PLAY DLC FLASHBACK MAP PACKS
Dear Naughty Dog,
Uncharted 3 was my favorite game for ps3.But 5 days ago i bought Flashback map pack 1# and it doesn't working then i go to check to custom game if they were there and yes they were, i tried them and they working perfect machtmacking they arent showed up and i've made sure that DLC was on ON. So Naughty Dog can you please help me? I really miss the maps and would really like to play in them a lot more. Thank you.
Re: CAN'T PLAY DLC FLASHBACK MAP PACKS
True my friend. This map rotation that ND implemented are just broken.
Everytime its CAVE, CAVE, GRAVEYARD, CAVE, OLD QUARTES, CAVE, GRAVEYARD... I can't believe it.
My last games with DLC ON were:
Old quarter
London Underground (yep, with DLC ON)
Fort (thanks GOD, but just one time in the whole day)
It's just amazing... The best maps just never appear... Wheres the dam Temple, or even Plaza or Train Wreck... London Street also is hard to appear, its just Old Quarter and Graveyard all the time.
Also, would be smart if ND allow us to vote for 3 or more maps at once, because the rotation it's just broken. When playing with DLC off, around 1 week ago, me and my buddy played London Underground for 4 times straight...
Re: CAN'T PLAY DLC FLASHBACK MAP PACKS
Re: CAN'T PLAY DLC FLASHBACK MAP PACKS
same problem with me i have mappack 1 and i am trying from 5 days but i doesnt shows any of them in matchmaking so i u plz help i really miss village plz help thankyou
Re: CAN'T PLAY DLC FLASHBACK MAP PACKS[ Edited ]
If your expansion maps don't work try going into your account management section on your ps3. Then go into download list and redownload the expansion maps that aren't working. This should work if you originally bought the maps as add-on packs in the PSN store. If you got them as part of Uncharted 3 Game Of The Year edition disregard everything I just said.

(Ezekiel buzzes in.)
Alex Trebek: Ezekiel.
Ezekiel: That's Wawakanwa Iced Z, eh?
Alex Trebek: Are you that retarded?
Ezekiel: The blood tests say I'm right.
Alex Trebek: Still, that is wrong.
(Geoff buzzes in.)
Alex Trebek: As there is any trouble...Geoff?
Geoff: What is Pamela Anderson?
Alex Trebek: It's "Famous Titles" not "titties".
Geoff: You must me gay, aren't you?
Alex Trebek: Ask Anderson Cooper, maybe he remembers. Ezekiel-
Ezekiel: (angrily) Wawanakwa Iced Z!
Alex Trebek: Like anyone cares...you choose.
Ezekiel: I'll take Jake "The Snake" Roberts for $200, eh?

("Final Jeopardy!" theme song is over.)
Alex Trebek: Ezekiel...
Ezekiel: WAWANAKWA ICED Z! GET IT RIGHT! DAMN!
Alex Trebek: Like I would give one if Satan had been 'Futtbucking' me with a pitchfork. Let's see what you wrote. You wrote down...
(A picture of a blotch appears.)
Alex Trebek: What in the blue hell is that?
Ezekiel: Your mom pooping on a blue screen, eh?
Alex Trebek: Works well for me...what did you wager?
(Ezekiel writes down "1 cent.")
Alex Trebek: 1 penny...why 1 penny.
Ezekiel: That's all I have left.
Alex Trebek: Congraulations, you have become the first homeschooled idiot who makes any real money. Bridgette, let's go to you, what did you write down?
(A picture of a boot appears.)
Alex Trebek: A boot. Why a boot?
Bridgette: It's something I'm gonna use on Ezekiel, if he keeps grabbing my ass like that!
(Ezekiel is caught grabbing Bridgette's ass.)
Ezekiel: What? It's on sale?
Alex Trebek: Please keep it in your pants, Long Island Iced Z.
Ezekiel: It's Wawanakwa!
Alex Trebek: We're in "Celebrity Jeopardy!" not Wawanakwa. Geoff...as if I really had to ask...what did you write down?
(A picture of Bridgette's boobs is shown.)
Alex Trebek: I had to ask...why her boobs?
Geoff: I imitate car horn sounds. It's like the preacher and your mom's buttcheeks. Burn!
(Naruto & Shikamaru laughs from the audience.)
Naruto & Shikamaru: BURN!
Alex Trebek: Thanks for that unholy image...what did you wager?
(Geoff writes down "Naruto & Shikamaru")
Alex Trebek: Naruto and Shikamaru...why two characters of Naruto?
Geoff: Because we've come to party! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Naruto and Shikamaru go to Geoff and Bridgette and party to "Tube Snake Boogie" by ZZ Top.)
Geoff: (To Alex) How do you like me now? Pansyass? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Alex Trebek: Well, this show...like my life...is over. The winner is Ezekiel, a.k.a. "Wawanakwa Iced Pee Pee" with a penny. That's it for Celebrity Jeopardy, I'm Alex Trebek and all of you can go to hell. Good night.
Okay, what did everyone think? Next up will be Duncan, Gwen & Trent! Read and review until then! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles
Subscribe to our Nanotechnology Spotlight feed
Metastasis - the process of cancer spreading from its original site to distant tissues - is caused by marauding tumor cells that break off from the primary tumor site and ride in the bloodstream to set up colonies in other parts of the body. Detecting and analyzing these circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can provide critical information for managing the spread of cancer and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies. In new work, researchers have created a Velcro-like platform which can not only capture CTCs with very high efficiency, but also release them in order to biochemically analyze them further.Posted: Jan 8th, 2013
Nanotechnology is finding applications in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases, particularly skin disease. These applications work in one of two ways: utilizing nanomaterials that have inherent antimicrobial properties; or incorporating known therapeutics into nanoscale vehicles to enhance delivery and improve efficacy. An ideal approach to develop a topical therapy for microbial infection in skin would combine both. Now, researchers have developed a new nanoparticle platform using chitosan for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases such as Acne Vulgaris.Posted: Jan 3rd, 2013
Naturally occurring nanomaterials can be found everywhere in nature - in soil, ground and surface waters, volcanic ash, ocean spray, mineral composites, smoke. Biogenic magnetite nanoparticles have even been discovered in various organisms, ranging from bacteria to human brains, with various biological functions. Researchers have discovered that nanoparticles produced by a flesh-eating fungus hold promise for stimulating the immune system and killing tumors.Posted: Dec 18th, 2012
Nanotechnology-enabled bio-pharmaceuticals are the most innovative and highly specialized alternative medicines for curing chronic diseases. These functionally modified nanomaterials help in early detection of chronic diseases. In addition to this, they also detect the microorganisms and viruses associated with infections. In this article, the authors analyze the immense potential of nanotechnology in India's pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.Posted: Dec 13th, 2012
Researchers are very interested in investigating the biomechanical properties of the inner structure of cells due to their relevance in many important topics in biology such as intracellular and intercellular dynamics; tissue and organs formation and their homeostasis; but also in medicine as the formation and development of diseases like inflammatory disorders or tumor. In order to study inner cell properties, researchers have now presented a biophotonic holographic workstation that combines the complementary features of holographic optical tweezers (HOT) and self-interference digital holographic microscopy, in order to investigate biomechanics properties at the single cell level.Posted: Dec 7th, 2012
The subventricular zone (SVZ) is a region in the mammalian brain where self-renewing and multipotent neural stem cells give rise to new brain cells such as neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Neuroscientists and cell biologists are keen to use nanotechnologies to manipulate endogenous stem cell niches such as the SVZ. New work describes the first example in the manipulation of the neural stem cell niche by the use of nanoparticles releasing a pro-neurogenic agent - retinoic acid.Posted: Dec 6th, 2012
One of the key issues in the development of novel nanomedicines is the ability to track nanoscale drug carriers inside the body to evaluate where they go and how they get there. Virtually all previous preclinical studies in this area of research rely on 2D Fluorescence Reflectance Imaging (FRI). Given the limitation of 2D FRI in not being able to detect the fluorescence in deep-seated organs and tissues, 3D Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (3D FMT) emerged as an alternative. However, the lack of anatomical information was an important barrier hindering the routine use of standard 3D FMT for in vivo imaging of nanomedicines. Researchers have now developed a hybrid CT-FMT-based imaging protocol to enable more meaningful and more quantitative in vivo analyses.Posted: Nov 13th, 2012
When a nanomaterial enters a biological environment, it comes into contact with a complex mixture of proteins. Some of these proteins can adhere to the surface of the nanomaterial, forming a protein 'corona' that influences its subsequent biological interactions. While a number of studies have characterized the protein corona formed around nanomaterials with diameters greater than 10nm, until now, lack of a suitable separation technique has prevented researchers from studying the protein corona formed around 'ultrasmall' nanomaterials. A team of European researchers used electrophoresis to separate ultrasmall nanomaterials from free protein. Applying this technique, they discovered that ultrasmall nanomaterials interact with proteins in a way that is fundamentally different from larger nanomaterials with analogous composition.Posted: Nov 2nd, 2012

This is an old barn, in a high country meadow located somewhere in Pendleton County, WV. This is what I was looking at in the early morning on 5-1-10. A turkey was gobbling behind the barn. A perfect spring morning. The rear section of this barn is made of the original chestnut logs.

The Future Of Solution Architecture, Part 1: Business Processes Within A Capability
Processes Provide Structure; BPM And Other Technologies Enable Rich, Ongoing Process Optimization
May 9, 2011
Why Read This Report
Your organization's business processes cut across application boundaries, but traditional architectures reinforce these boundaries. In contrast with 20th-century solution models, which center on siloed, hard-walled applications and technologies, 21st-century application architectures should unify across silos, centering on the design of your business. Forrester created Business Capability Architecture (BCA), together with its six business design focal points, to guide your delivery of business-centered solutions that can provide continuous business optimization now and ongoing transformation over the long haul. This report describes the intent, design, and implementation of the business process design focal point of Forrester's Business Capability Architecture.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Nadiya Ivano-Frankivsk
Travel Blogs from Ivano-Frankivsk
This was going to be first real test of travelling and boarder crossing, Europe had open up all its boarders so far but Ukraine was still very much an independent country. so it started with and early start to get to the boarder to give me more time for lays ahead. I have heard and read so many different stories about these crossings. It went ok and with out to much delay I was back on the road. Straight away ...
Hiking in the Carpathian Mountains
... with a smattering of German from Nikolai he got by. He had been to Ukraine many times and visited lots of places and seemed to communicate by smiling a lot. We were driven by another man to the village of Sheshory. A pretty village about 8 kms long set in a narrow valley. We found a narrow path between two houses and set off. The hike was a basic beginners hike designed to test groups to determine their fitness before going on more adventurous ones. I managed OK. ...
Journey from Chernivtsi back to Tel Aviv!
... Union in the 1970s. The very "modern" check in desk was closed, although the flight was scheduled to depart in less than 30 minutes. The display board only had one flight on the schedule, the once daily flight to Kiev (Kyiv).
At 6:55 Am (20 minutes before scheduled departure), the single check-in desk opened. I was given only one boarding pass, and was told that I had to check in again for my flight to ...
An Egg-celent Adventure
... historic city of Ivano-Frankivsk which is the administrative center for a province of the same name. There have also been protests here during the revolution, with tents and broken pavements and tire barricades, just not on the scale that we saw in Kiev.
Near the governmental center we see ...
High in the hills...
... the other one was a museum of pysanky - the Ukrainian painted Easter eggs. This one intrigued me a bit more, in part because the building was in the shape of a giant pysanky. We had a brief introduction to the evolution of the painted egg, and I learned that the eggs are actually painted while fresh; they are drained after, then carefully cracked open and left to dry out for at least 10 days. The insides of the egg halves are then lined with a stiff paper and glued ...

Narda asked...
"...Has anyone planted their hosta in the ground or anything else for that
matter, in clay pots? We are zone 5 five here and the ground freezes but I
am thinking that as long as it freezes and thaws evenly the clay pot will
not break down. Anyone at all have any experience in doing this?
Help if you can!..."
Hi Narda,
I am zone 8. Last year I grew three hostas in the ground in large, cheap,
unglazed, Italian made, allegedly frostproof, clay pots [18" diameter x 14"
deep]. I deliberately left the top 4" sticking out of the ground and by this
Spring, after a very wet Winter, all the tops had flaked with frost damage.
When I pulled them out to change them for similar sized plastic, one was cracked
in the hidden body and the other two were ok.
Be prepared for some cracking, but if your tree roots don't penetrate then you
have succeeded at a reasonable cost.
Good luck

MEGHAN Trainor planned her whole career using a vision board.
The 20-year-old singer claims her success is a result of mapping out what she wanted to achieve in a collage which included a record deal and Grammy Awards.
She said: "I had a vision board! (On it) I had the No1 song in the world, and a record deal – and a week later I got a record deal. And I didn't tell anyone this, but I also put up a picture of the Grammys."
The 'All About That Bass' hitmaker has since come a step closer to achieving the latter, with her breakout track being nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, but admitted she didn't feel worthy of a pop career as a teenager due to her figure.
She confessed: "Growing up with my insecurities, I was, like, 'I don't look like those pop stars do. I'm not that pretty, I don't know if I could do that.'"
The star later became involved in music as a songwriter for Rascal Flatts and co-wrote the single 'Sledgehammer' for Fifth Harmony, but penned her number one smash hit 'All About That Bass' when she decided she was sick of not being the performer of her songs.
Recalling the morning in which she wrote the track – taking only two hours to do so – she told the Sunday Times' Culture magazine: "It was the first session where I walked in and I was, like, 'I don't wanna write for someone today. I don't wanna pretend I'm Rihanna or Maroon 5. I just wanna write a hit song for the world.'" BANG!

Pluto will turn retrograde in Capricorn on April 12th. If you are willing to drill down and get to the root a problem, there is tremendous potential here.
Uranus is direct. When Pluto turns retrograde it will move to close the square between these two outer planets. The exact aspect takes place on May 21, 2013. This is such a big deal, it will pay to keep this planetary clash in mind over the next weeks.
We are sure to see intense upheaval around the world, but on a personal level, I would recommend you set a goal (Capricorn) to liberate yourself (Uranus in Aries).
I don't think you can do this with without upset, hard work, focus and determination. But I also don't think a person is going to be able to coast through this or hide under the bed that successfully, so you may as well go for that ring.
Can you see the work, cut out for you?

A SOLDIER comforted by David Beckham after his leg was blown off has been
stripped of disability cash — after benefits bosses ruled he is not disabled
Sapper Karl Boon lost his left leg in a Taliban rocket-propelled grenade
attack in Afghanistan in 2010.
Becks visited the hero in hospital and gave him a signed football.
But now Department of Work and Pensions pen-pushers have told him he can no
longer have a £54-a-week living allowance — because he can walk "about 400
yards" unaided.
The mean action comes a month after PM David Cameron vowed wounded heroes
would not suffer financially under welfare reforms.
Dad-of-two Karl, 25, of Warrington, Cheshire, now faces a ten-month wait
before he can apply again.
He said: "Sometimes I can't even reach the front door. All I want is what I'm
entitled to."

Everyone's heard the well known phrase 'Actions speak louder than words'…if you haven't…well, you have now. With this in mind I invented my own saying (yes invented…?!) 'Images speak louder than words'. I like to keep this sentence in mind being a graphic designer, as at times you can receive a shiiii…..' a lot of unnecessary text for a project. When all the while, just one simple image can project your whole overall concept and message. While also creating a much greater impact. There are many benefits from using images in projects, especially when your working with social media. In this blog I will be talking about the benefits as to why images are beneficial for use in social media. I will be using a 'Women's Aid' charity campaign poster which I created, to use as an aid for examples when needed.
© Charlene Zubrzycki
1. Overall Message Received Quicker – The world works at a fast pace these days and people don't have time to be reading paragraphs of text, so there's no guarantee that a viewer will actually bother to read your post. By using imagery you are essentially making sure viewers actually read your message. By cutting the length of time in which it takes viewers to absorb/understand a message, you are likely to get them to read it. Paragraphs and paragraphs of text will scare people away from your post, as we are lazy as a society…People just can't be arsed… Taking the above as an example. Paragraphs of text could have been used from survivors of abuse, to express to the viewer the mental and physical emotions that they endured throughout. But as you can see, the above image expresses their stories and the emotions they would have felt through visual content and symbolism.
2. Grabs Attention – Think about it, when people use social media they scroll through the page at break neck speed until something grabs their eye. Then they stop. Look. Then read. By using powerful/pleasing/pretty images you are guaranteed to catch viewers eyes. Then that viewer in return will stop, look and read.
3. Interesting Not Boring – Words, words, words…borinnggg… That's what most people feel when they are confronted with a crap load of text. We are a digital era, we spend the majority of our time in front of screens be it computer, devices, television, mobile, etc… We are never far away from those little angular shapes and their heavenly glow. We like to look at screens and the imagery they contain. It's dynamic content, not static like a book. For example, you wouldn't read a 300 p.g book on how matchsticks are made. But on screen…wow… I've seen them little picks been made, whizzing round a factory on that program 'How it's Made?'… and well… it looked pretty cool, believe it or not, it was also interesting?! That's all because the viewer could actually visually see it. All that boring information you would have had to read in that imaginary 300 p.g matchstick book that I just invented (that's right, I invented… just as I did the phrase 'Imagery speaks louder than words' by the way). Well all that boring information that would have been in that book I just invented, has now been condensed into visuals, and visuals appeal to us because of our digital culture. And visuals appeal to us because we don't have to mentally create what we are reading. And as I said earlier, we are a bunch of lazy sods. So this condensed information that we receive in a dynamic channel, clicks with viewers straight away as it highly appeals to their needs.
4. Connects Greatly – Images connect with us greatly. They can connect through catching our emotions. We can't help it, were human and we have a lot of empathy towards other humans and things (well, unless your a serial killer). Think to the type of Oxfam advertising images you see. They always pull on the old heart strings. We place ourselves into the images and feel for them. Images also connect with us through their aesthetics. We get to see things we might not normally get to see with our own eyes in real life. Images can appeal to us for their shear beauty, coolness or uniqueness. As we like connecting to things as a culture by placing significant values onto them.
5. Multi Lingual – Images are a universal language, people decode the meanings in their head just as they would words on a page. Because there are no codes or rules with imagery, different people from all different areas of the world can understand and receive the same message. (obviously cultural factors could misinterpret the intended message). But for arguments sake, lets say the above 'Women's Aid' image was shared on Facebook in Ireland and France. Viewers from the two countries, even though they speak totally different languages, would interpret exactly the same intended message. This concurs through their shared symbolism and values. So even though no actual written language is being used and the rules that come with them languages don't apply, then the initial intended message can be understood pictorially.
With all these factors in mind you can see why images are of crucial benefit for social media campaigns. They create huge, long lasting impact compared to some 'text information' on a page, as they hold more significance and meaning, creating greater, remember able impacts. It's highly appealing to viewers as we live in the age of digital and are always seeing images on our screens, we are drawn towards them. It's also multi lingual and with the internet been available in…well everywhere..! It's a brilliant way to get your intended message received across a board of markets. An image can contain so much unwritten information and with working in social media you need to get your messages across quick and easy. In short. An image can speak a thousand words. So why would you waste time writing/typing those thousand words? When you can say it all with just one image.
By the way……..
*** The new hardback edition of '300 p.g Book of How Matchsticks are Made' by Charlene Zubrzycki, is now available in all good book stores. (*NOTE – Book contains 1 pages) 🙂

Mrs Voss
"As you all know already, Dark Arts is a subject that may only be practiced and used within the premises of the classroom, I know you know this, but because of recent, er, rules, I am obliged to tell you all again. We will not be jumping straight to practicals, but instead will be learning about the origin of Dark Arts, and the black magic used within it. Are there any questions before we get started?" Mrs Voss paced the length of the desks, handing out notebooks and study sheets. She was young, only about twenty three or four, with long hair that was almost a translucent white colour. She paused at the head of the classroom, before continuing her little speech "I want you all to know that although this is a serious subject, I want you all to enjoy yourselves learning about it, and feel free to ask me any questions whenever you like. Oh, and before we begin, I would like you all to greet Dario" As soon as she said his name, a huge black hawk fluttered down from a perch up near the ceiling and onto her shoulders. Many students flinched backwards at the sight of the bird, and I have to admit, it was a pretty intimidating hawk. Its head flicked from side to side as its beady black eyes studied us all.
"What is he, like, your guard dog?" Asked Marcio Velincy from the back, his voice seemed a little skeptical.
The hawk swooped off Mrs Voss' shoulder and soared towards Marcio's desk, he ducked wisely, and the birds talons scraped the air where he had been a second ago. Mrs Voss didn't react much but she said "Oh no, he's merely a very good companion of mine, although he would protect me if necessary" She said it as though Marcio's question had been genuine.
Marcio himself was looking very shocked from Dario's aggressiveness. "He tried to attack me!" He said.
Mrs Voss shook her head slightly. "Oh no dear, he would never do such a thing, and besides, hawks have the most excellent aim, if he'd been attacking you, ducking wouldn't have helped." She finished with a smile, as though she were discussing the weather. I decided I liked her. "Now, let's get on with the lesson shall we?"

He is genuinely funny, often hilarious, and really is a "man of the people", as he is known, even in a place as down to earth as Las Vegas: he loves his pints and pies, his footy and family. But any one of Hatton's family could win the award. On the excellent four-parter 'Hatton v Mayweather 24/7' one of Sky's 24 preview programmes last week in its massive build-up to the Vegas showdown Hatton says of his mother Carol: "She's always the loudest voice ringside but comes up with the stupidest advice you could imagine: "Be careful!", "Get out the way!". Carol adds: "I've never hoped an opponent would be hurt [pause] but I want to ram that crown he [Mayweather] wears on his head down his throat." Hatton's father Ray admits: "I married her out of fear."
Then there's "Richard's" grannie, who says things like: "You know what, Ricky, people say you look like me." Boxing runs in the genes brother Matthew is also a successful pro — so maybe Grandma Hatton did a few rounds too.
So long as it wasn't the milk round. On Russell Brand's 'Ponderland' (E4, Thursday) the comedian looked at sport. Having admitted that he once turned up to an audition for adidas Predator football boots without wearing any football kit and ended up doing it in his pants and a pair of Doc Martens, he showed an old documentary of a retired fighter with an utterly destroyed face who said: "The only scars I ever had in boxing was a broken nose and three stitches in my eye. The rest of them was done with lacerations of milk bottles." That just shows the dangers our grandparents had to face day to day.
A boxer should get the BBC's gong since it was Britain's most successful high-profile sport this year. Joe Calzaghe is not likelyto win after he said of his failure last year, "It seems like the country gets behind losers". But at least that gives us plenty of contenders.
Another man who would never win the nation's hearts is Mayweather. But Sky's depiction of him was unrelentingly negative, emphasising his mother's drug problems and his estrangement from his father, who was shot by his uncle while holding baby Mayweather. Boxers aren't all like Hatton, far from it. At least he was hot-footing it to Vegas after appearing on 'Dancing with the Stars'.
Meanwhile Russell Brand was mocking a Seventies show in which an organist tries to become a wrestler. "Why did they invest in that insane reality?" he asked. Yet actually it sounds like a typical modern programme except there would be a celebrity (or is it "personality") in there somewhere. How about a wrestling match between Russell and his namesake Jo?Reuse content
