Needing to Focus.Mature
Carissa Blackthorne.
I close my eyes, taking deep breaths as I sit down on the damp grass. I can feel everything around me, everything gives off its own energy. Footsteps sound behind me before stopping. My hands grip tightly onto the staff of my scythe.
"Your arse is going to get wet." Zero says, waiting for some response from me. I squeeze my eyes tighter together, trying to concentrate. I can hear him sigh before sitting next to me.
After a few moments of silence, Zero decides to speak again. "He isn't here you know?" Slowly, I open my eyes before turning my gaze to him, my eyes harsh slits. "Once I rested, I looked around the camp. No one has seen Caleb." I tighten my grip on my scythe until my knuckles turn white and my hands shake.
I have looked for Lara too but it was no use. I haven't been able to get a track on her magical energy either. Zero looks uncharacteristically awkward as he swirls the mead in his goblet. "Look, I know he was-" I glare at him, cutting him off. "Is." A deep sigh escapes his lips as he takes a slurp from his goblet. "I know that he is – important, to you."
I sigh, stretching out my legs in front of me. "What do you want Snowflake?" He opens his mouth as to say something but closes it again and passes me his goblet. I take it from him and take a deep gulp. "I might not be able to track the others who are missing but I should be able to find Caleb." I pass the goblet back to Zero. "With the amount of time that I have spent with him, I know his energy. Even if he is far away from here, I should still be able to detect him." My hands run against the blade of my scythe. "I should be able to hear him."
Zero moves closer to me, his hands reaching out.
I jump to my feet.
"Oh, come on Red." Zero stands in front of me, looking slightly annoyed. "I thought that after everything we could-"
"Could what? Be a thing?" My hands shake. I can't do any of this now. I need to be focused, not trying to appease whatever feelings that I have for stupid attractive Elites!
Zero scoffs before draining the last remains of his goblet. "A thing?" He takes a few steps closer so we are only inches apart. "I was just looking to blow off steam but don't worry. There are plenty of other people who I can sleep with." The Elite throws his goblet onto the floor and walks away causing lightning to attack the empty goblet, turning it to ash.
Ignoring the pain at his words, I walk in the opposite direction where a giant pile of rocks rest. I pick the largest stone and lower my weapon. With my scythe, I run the blade slowly over the rock as I sharpen it.
After the blade is sharp enough, I begin to spin my scythe around, slowly gaining momentum. Images of all those the guild has lost flash through my inner eye. I grit my teeth as I try to focus solely on my scythe spinning around in front of me.
An image of Caleb comes to mind, pulling at my chest. I swing my scythe, cutting into the stone with ease. Master Juxon's face keeps reoccurring, his old face smiling. I flick my muscles, causing two more rocks to break into small pieces.
Again and again, I bring my scythe down with increasingly more force.
In what seems like no time at all, all of the rocks have turned to rubble. I glance up at the sky, wondering how things have managed to get so messed up so quickly. My stomach dips as my blood roars in my veins. My body threatens to expel the magical energy which builds up within.
I shake my head, dragging myself away from the thoughts that threaten to overwhelm me. I need to find something to do. I need to focus.
I fling my scythe in the air and leap to catch it.
I have to focus.

Protesters march in Washington against NSA spying
By Dave Maass
October 31, 2013
The event was organized by a coalition known as "Stop Watching Us" that consists of some 100 public advocacy groups and companies, including the American Civil Liberties Union, privacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation, Occupy Wall Street NYC and the Libertarian Party.
The groups have been urging Congress to reform the legal framework supporting the NSA's secretive online data gathering since Snowden's disclosure of classified information about the programs that are designed to gather intelligence about potential foreign threats.

First, I'd like to thank those customers who took time out of their busy schedules to come up to Redmond to see our latest Beta 2 progress, and give us very important feedback on how we're doing.
It was quite a tremendous day, Thursday, for the entire speech team. Many members of the team got to go and listen to customers directly, as well as help out in the hands-on session at 11am. We all got to hear lots of positive things people had to say about our latest Beta 2 bits. Things like:
- "I'm impressed"
- That "demo blew me away!"
- "You've nailed exactly what we needed you to nail."
- "Microsoft Speech is really good. Don't be too shy about positioning it."
But it wouldn't have been a success without hearing all the features and suggestions that customers still want to see us add before we fianlly ship Windows Vista Speech Recognition. The Speech team is going to look at all those requests this week and prioritize what those features and suggestions. Although we can't promise anything, we'll do everything we can to make sure customers are happy with the final product in 2006.

Victoria Moore on wine
Victoria Moore on beaujolais nouveau
Victoria Moore on beaujolais nouveau
Victoria Moore: The film Sideways taught us that some wine boffins regard "mur-low", as Miles pronounced it (with a sneer), as the most WAG-ish of grape varieties.
Victoria Moore: Probably the trickiest thing in the whole of wine is burgundy. Closely followed by cheese; the two rarely go together.
Victoria MooreI tasted the top-selling French brands recently and it was, with some exceptions, a desultory experience. This is such a shame.
Victoria Moore: There was a recent attempt to put champagne through a process of democratisation, when Woolworths put a limited number of bottles on sale at a fiver under their own Worthit! label. The Woolies champagne was a bargain. But only if you ignored the fact that it didn't give any pleasure - at all.
Victoria Moore:Planeta has not become the most feted name in Sicilian wine by clinging to the old ways.
Victoria Moore: Known as cot in the south-west of France - where it is vinified into the dense, sober and sometimes tough "black" wines of Cahors - malbec has become Argentina's signature red grape.
Victoria Moore: Wine is about the best thing you can drink with most simple, rustic one-pot dishes, which is just as well, because they're usually budget meals.
Victoria Moore: Autumn is really the best excuse for sweet wines, made from grapes that were left to rot "nobly" on the vine as the weather sharpened and that now glow in the glass, all comforting and poised, like a liquid shot of tarte tatin.
Victoria Moore: The contemporary feel of the wines, and our thirst for its sauvignon blancs, helped turn people on to screwcaps.
Victoria Moore: The late American film critic Pauline Kael used to say (and I paraphrase) that when you walk into a room it's easy to pick out the genuine film lovers: they're the ones talking not about the films they love but about what they love in the films they hate. The same applies to wine.
Victoria Moore: I am won over by these tactile and civilised little bottles
Such are the manifold pitfalls of white rioja, mere blandness may be counted a plus, says Victoria Moore.
Victoria Moore: This week Tesco added to its shelves 370 gleaming new wines, increasing the total number in its range by 300.
Wines have been getting stronger over the past decade. But drinkers now want something with less punch. Victoria Moore reports on the trend for relatively low-alcohol wines - and puts some of them to the test.
The prospect of "red wine with fish" was once considered so preposterous - not any more, says Victoria Moore.
Victoria Moore: Waitrose offers wine en primeur and Tesco is considering it, so more of us are being lured into leaping in with little to go on but trust.
It might provoke a few suspicious looks when produced at the end of dinner, but Moscato d'Asti is one of summer's great delights, says Victoria Moore.
Victoria Moore: After, "What's your favourite wine?"- a question that usually leaves me nonplussed - I'm most often asked, "What wine do you least like to be given at dinner?"
They were pouring pomegranate and prosecco at the opening party for Whole Foods, the vulgar yet impossibly compelling American store that's just arrived in London. The wine was Louis Latour (chardonnay and pinot noir), and a lethal-looking drink in swimming pool-sized Martini glasses was nothing more potent than elderflower cordial. Meanwhile, all the journalists ricocheting around the gleaming halls of this extravagant emporium were exchanging the evening's only piece of gossip: "Doesn't Scheherazade Goldsmith look thin huddled in that cardigan."
Victoria Moore: The drinks for such an event should be robust or bracing, rather like the old-fashioned ones Elizabeth David suggests for picnics in Summer Cooking.
Victoria Moore: How do you like your rosé? For lawyer-turned-writer Jamie Ivey, it is the colour that counts.
Usually, nothing would make me run further from a bottle of wine than the creepy news that, like Tesco's new Pink Elephant, it had been 'stylistically designed by 12 experts'.
Victoria Moore: 'You rather gave yourself away with the phrase 'garden wines'," said the voice on the other end of the phone. Foiled.
If you take both quality and cost into account when buying wine, does it make a difference in which order you do it? Yes, says Victoria Moore.
Victoria Moore picks out her favourite retro wines.
Victoria Moore: All are good and, as you'd expect, none is lacking in character.
Victoria Moore: Pinot gris can be gorgeous, but it's not exactly what you'd choose down the pub. I've always felt it needs food to play against the sugar, and the feeling of light that streams through it.
Victoria Moore: I like Adnams; it's a smallish outfit, with a good list. Tim's besotted with German wines, Rob owns up to a fetish for pink wine and beaujolais, and Alastair tells the back-stories of the wines we taste.
Victoria Moore: 'Bother", "O blow", and "Hang spring-cleaning" were Moley's final words on the subject. They were much my own thoughts after venturing to the dusty territory above the fridge and discovering several grimy and forgotten bottles up there.
Victoria Moore: There is a fledgling trend away from the brash, high-volume, catnip and green gooseberries towards a riper, gentler, nectarine-and-star-fruit style.
Victoria Moore: This raises all sorts of literary and gastronomic questions. Should the drink be matched to the book - fluorescently off-dry rosé for chick-lit; amarone for philosophy; Guinness for Joyce; whisky for Graham Greene? Or the author to the wine.
Victoria Moore: The Italian and Portuguese wines are the best all-rounders; the Spanish one is more particular, and has bite.

Darryl Anderson has been to three job interviews in the past month but none of the employers have bothered to get back to him.
Hamilton man Anderson was among 125 workers made redundant when the Hutton's meat-processing plant shut down at the end of March. His struggle to find work was typical, with nearly half his former colleagues still looking for work.
Hamilton businesses have failed the Hutton's workers, said Robert Reid, general secretary of FIRST Union.
"The response of Hamilton has been much worse than Rotorua, that had its own major redundancy when Tachikawa wood mill went into receivership just before Christmas last year," Reid said.
Just 6 of the 80 ex-Tachikawa workers were still out of work, Reid said.
Anderson started off in Hutton's freezer department and worked his way through several roles in his 16 years.
Yesterday morning he was at another interview, this time with a courier company, but he is not confident they will get back to him either.
"I don't think it went too well."
Anderson said none of this was for lack of trying.
He has been to Work and Income, but said the officer was "negative" about the influx of workers coming from the Hutton's factory.
"I never heard from her," he said.
"I didn't ask to be made redundant.
"It was out of my power to do anything about it."
For his 16 years of work, Anderson received a redundancy package of about $25,000. About $11,000 of that went straight to the Inland Revenue Department. His former salary, of about $845 pre-tax per week, has been stripped back to a dole payment of $209 per week from Work and Income.
And due to a tax hiccup, Inland Revenue is currently taking back all of that money as well, forcing Anderson to live on savings that were earmarked for a future house deposit.
"Because I've had a [relationship] split, I've got assets, but I've had to dig into that to pay the rent."
He said he tried to stay positive and had turned to martial arts to keep away from the booze. But he believed not all of his old Hutton's colleagues were in the same mindset.
"You've got a lot of people here and this is all they've done. They've never done anything else."
When the factory shut down, First Union appointed Te Aroha Tihi - a former Hutton's worker - in a temporary role to find employment for nearly 100 of the 125 redundant workers.
Tihi said he did not understand how nobody had employed Anderson, a qualified forklift driver and experienced factory hand.
"He has a lot to offer, really."
Yesterday was the last day of Tihi's contract with the union and now he is heading to Wintec for training but he said the culture of employment in Hamilton meant many of the workers were not able to get jobs.
As of yesterday morning, 41 were employed, six had retired, one had moved to Australia, one had died, and Tihi could not contact about half a dozen. That leaves about 41 still looking for employment.
Tihi said there seemed to be a tendency for Hamilton companies to insist on employing new labourers on temporary contracts or through temp agencies, which some union members refused to do.
"Hamilton's workers are getting the raw end of this deal, with lower wages and reduced job security. How can workers budget to feed and house their families when they are on near minimum wages and do not know from one week to the other what their hours and income will be?"
Gallagher Group corporate services executive Margaret Comer said the company had taken on some former Hutton's employees on six-month contracts. She said manufacturing employees were hired to fill specific needs, like unusually large orders.
She said the company could not be sure if it would need the workers permanently but if they "turn out to be a good employee, we put them on a fulltime permanent contract" at the end of the six months.
"It would be extremely wrong in my opinion to provide someone with a permanent fulltime contract only for them to be told down the line that there's no more work."

Bengals WR Jerome Simpson Pleads Guilty To Drug Charges
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson could serve jail time despite pleading guilty Thursday to a drug charge as part of an agreement with prosecutors, according to ESPN.
Simpson was indicted with the felony charge after a shipment of marijuana was tracked from California to his home in northern Kentucky. By pleading guilty, Simpson's agreement with prosecutors includes a 60-day jail sentence with a work-release provision. Judge Gregory Bartlett will make a decision April 5. Last season, Simpson had 50 receptions for 725 yards and four touchdowns. With the receiver's four-year contract expired, Simpson will become a free agent on March 13.

An Old Friend
Chapter Planning:
Introduction to Chief Adviser, Adviser to the Military and Adviser to the Economy.
Bitter discussion about the King's popularity and health.
Chief Adviser meets an old friend who studies the magical arts in the wilderness and tells his findings.
Formulates an idea for the kings assassination
A conspiracy - Plan at the secret meeting of advisers.
Chapter - An Old Friend
"Ahh" Sighed the Adviser to the Economy, his gaunt face somewhat ghostly in the flickering candle light from the lanterns that lined the walls of the Advisers Hall.
"The problem is that the people love him. He could never step out of place or put a toe over the line even if he lost his mind and started throwing toads at everyone."
A slight chuckle came from the high leather chair opposite him before the sound echoed into silence.
"You're being your usual reserved self I see Adviser to the Military. I don't suppose you have any thoughts on the subject."
A deep voice came from the chair opposite. It commanded authority whilst remaining almost at a whispering level. It was the sort of voice that you wouldn't trust if you heard it behind you in the dark.
"If I were to have thoughts, I would be a fool to utter them here. You'd be wise to remember that."
The Adviser to the Economy reached his hand over to the finely finished oak table to pick up his goblet when he noticed a figure walking through the entrance. The figure wore a long, flowing royal blue robe which faded to black around his feet. As he passed each lantern the Adviser to the Economy saw the glint of silver hanging from a chain around the figures neck and immediately
"Gentleman, please, remain in your seats. There's no need to show your dedication here." Said the voice of the Chief Adviser as the doors at the entrance shut quietly behind him.
The two of them placed themselves back in the chairs and the Chief Adviser pulled up a third to round out table. There was a pause which the Chief Adviser broke.
"I sense from the silence you were talking previously about our King were you not. In a less than favourable light too I would guess. Not to worry gentlemen as you know it also plays on my mind. The nation needs a leader that is unquestioned by it's people but a happy people are not a happy Kingdom."
Murmurs of agreement sounded from the others around the table and so the Chief Adviser continued.
"If the people are happy then there is no advance in civilisation. After all, what have the people got to work for if the people can't see anything wrong. They are blinded by their love for the King". The Chief Adviser ended with a bitterness in his voice at the end.
"And what happens when a ruler from across the seas or a mystery from the mountains start looking for more to rule. It's only a matter of time. The people believe they are safe only because it hasn't happened, not because they are well defended." The Adviser to the Military added.

Free Online Book Will Teach You Web Typography Fundamentals
There are a handful of timeless typography principles. For instance, scale, proportion, rhythm and harmony are applicable to any design that relies on textual content to convey a message, whether it's an iOS app or a printed newspaper.
A groundbreaking book, first published in 1992, outlined key typographic concepts that designers still apply today. This book is called The Elements of Typographic Style.
Several respected typographers recommend The Elements of Typographic Style. German typeface designer Hermann Zapf (who designed the Palatino and Optima fonts) once said "I wish to see this book become the Typographers' Bible."
How do you apply the elements of typographic style in the Web context? A free online book titled The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web will show you how.
The online book teaches its readers implementation techniques for the concepts discussed in the original book. For example, The Elements of Typographic Style espouses the concept of typographic scale. On the Web, this can be achieved by using relative font units such as
em or
rem. Here's the CSS from the online book for achieving typographic scale:
body { font-size: 100%; }
h1 { font-size: 2.25em; /* 16x2.25=36 */ }
h2 { font-size: 1.5em; /* 16x1.5=24 */ }
h3 { font-size: 1.125em; /* 16x1.125=18 */ }
h4 { font-size: 0.875em; /* 16x0.875=14 */ }
p { font-size: 0.75em; /* 16x0.75=12 */ }

true stories The Most Infamous Cursed Movies of All Time f p @
A list of troubled or "cursed" movies, looking at deaths, illnesses and mysteries surrounding some of the most infamous film productions of all time. A variety of films have been released that are thought to carry with them a "curse," due to the troubles faced by the cast and crew either during or immediately following the film's production. These incidents range from the tragic (as in the accident that cost Superman star Christopher Reeve the use of his legs) to the simply unfortunate (such as Tower Heist director Brett Ratner's use of a homophobic slur costing him a gig as Oscar producer.)
What are some of the most well known movie curses? Regardless of whether you believe these creepy stories about cursed films truly represent something supernatural - or if they are simply regrettable coincidences - nevertheless the existence of so many such productions is uncanny and fascinating.
Christopher Reeve played the titular hero in Superman: The Movie and three sequels. The actor was paralyzed from the neck down after being thrown from his horse in a cross country riding event in 1995, and subsequently died in 2004 due to heart failure stemming from his medical condition.
Reeve isn't the only person involved in the Superman films to face personal struggles. Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane, suffered a bout of mental illness in 1996, and was found dazed and filthy, wandering the streets of Los Angeles. Richard Pryor, who appeared in Superman III, died of multiple sclerosis only a few years later.
Believe it or not, this franchise wasn't the only troubled Superman series. George Reeves, who played the Man of Steel in the 1950s television program Adventures of Superman, died at the age of 45 in 1959. The official finding was suicide, but some believe he was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting.

A number of principals involved in John Wayne's The Conqueror succumbed to cancer in the years following the film's release. Director Dick Powell died of cancer less than seven years after the movie's 1956 debut. Actor Pedro Armendáriz was diagnosed with terminal cancer in the early '60s, filmed one last movie (James Bond thriller From Russia With Love) to leave his family with money, then took his own life in 1963. Actress Agnes Moorehead died of cancer a decade later. in 1974. Thereafter, both principal stars, John Wayne and Susan Hayward, were diagnosed, and died within four years of one another.
Combine this with the knowledge that above-ground atomic tests were run at Nevada's Yucca Flats - very near where the movie was shot, in Utah's Snow Canyon State Park - and it seems obvious what happened. The cast and crew were exposed to radiation while making the movie (a ridiculous take on Genghis Khan), then proceeded to die from the disease. This theory was dismissed as an urban legend, as the deaths could likely be traced to either the unhealthy lifestyles or coincidence.

How's this for a statistic: Four actors who appeared in Poltergeist films died within six years of the first movie's release. They include:
Dominique Dunne, who played Dana in the first movie, was murdered by her former boyfriend at age 22. Julian Beck, who played Henry Kane in Poltergeist II: The Other Side, died in 1985 of stomach cancer at age 60. He had been diagnosed before he had accepted the role. Will Sampson, who played Taylor the medicine man in Poltergeist II, died as a result of post-operative kidney failure in 1987, at age 53.
Heather O'Rourke, who starred as Carol Anne Freeling in all three Poltergeist films, died in 1988 at age 12 after being misdiagnosed with Crohn's Disease. During the course of being treated for a disease she didn't have, O'Rourke became ill and suffered cardiac arrest. Her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente Hospital, which treated her for Crohn's rather than the actual condition - a bowel obstruction - that in part led to her death. The case was settled out of court.

Director Roman Polanski's deeply unsettling film about a pregnant woman who may be in the thrall of a Satanic cult carries with it a number of unsettling stories from behind the scenes. Most famously, one year after the movie's release, Polanski's wife, actress Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson Family. She was eight months pregnant with the couple's first child at the time.
The film's producer, William Castle, suffered painful gallstones immediately following the film's production, eventually requiring a series of treatments and surgery. Composer Krzysztof Komeda died suddenly from an accidental fall. Castle later wrote in his memoirs that it felt like Rosemary's Baby was coming true in real life, and that the cast and crew were being stalked by witches.

Actress Judy Garland became a cinematic legend playing Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz, but her personal life proved rocky after the film, in large part due to abuses heaped on her by the studio. She suffered four divorces, a string of infamous insecurities and neurosis, financial instability, and addiction struggles before dying of an accidental overdose of barbiturates at age 47.
Problems for the Wizard cast didn't stop there. Four months after the movie was released, Frank Morgan, who played The Wizard, was involved in a serious car accident. Though he was left largely uninjured, his wife Alma suffered a crippling knee injury that would plague her for the rest of her life, and his chauffeur was killed. Morgan died in 1949, never seeing the film become a staple of television and an all-time childhood favorite.
Uncle Henry and Auntie Em met with bad luck following Oz. Charley Grapewin - who played Henry - died in 1956, just before the film debuted on television, where it became a staple. Clara Blandick, who played Auntie Em, committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills and putting a plastic bag over her head when she was 81 years old.
The production of Wizard was similarly troubled; a number notable accidents took place on set. Several actors playing flying monkeys accidentally broke the wires holding them up and crashed down to the set (they had a net to prevent grievous injury.) The actress playing the Wicked Witch of the West - Margaret Hamilton - was badly burned while filming a scene in which she explodes into flames. When she took time off to recover, a stand-in tried to replicate the stunt in her stead, only to be burned in the same fashion.

Atuk is so cursed it never made it to screen. The screenplay, based on satirical novel The Incomparable Atuk, about an Eskimo who moves to New York City, has been kicking around Hollywood since 1971, when producer Norman Jewison bought the book rights.
Most major actors attached to the project have died. John Belushi died a few months after agreeing to star in the film. British comedian Sam Kinison signed to play the lead in 1988 and even filmed a few scenes, but the production fell apart due to disagreements between the actor and pretty much everyone else. He died not long thereafter in a car accident.
In 1994, John Candy was attached, but died of a heart attack. A few months later, Michael O'Donoghue, a friend of Candy's who, according to rumor, went over the script with the actor, died unexpectedly of a cerebral hemorrhage. Chris Farley was attached when he died of a heart attack and, according to unverified rumors, Phil Hartman was also interested in or attached to the script when murdered by his wife.
While there's ultimately no logical reason to assume horror movies are more likely to be cursed than any other genre, seeing The Exorcist on a list of cursed movies is kind of like finding pickles in a pickle jar.
During production, The Exorcist was beset by a slew of problems. The set for the home in which most of the movie takes place burned down. Actress Linda Blair injured her back when some rigging failed, and Ellen Burstyn was hurt so badly during a take the issue plagued her for decades after filming wrapped - the scream when possessed Reagan (Blair) throws her mother (Burstyn) to the ground, is real. Meanwhile, the son of Jason Miller, who played Father Karras, was seriously injured when hit by a motorcycle during production.
Actor Jack MacGowran (Burke Dennings) and actress Vasiliki Maliaros (Father Karras's mother) both died shortly after filming wrapped. MacGowran of the flu, Maliaros of natural causes. Linda Blair's grandfather and actor Max Von Sydow's (Father Merrin) brother died during production, and the son of Mercedes McCambridge, who voiced the demon, murdered his wife and two daughters before taking his own life after being accused of fraud in November of 1987. All told, nine people associated with the movie died violently, mysteriously, or during or immediately after filming.
Various problems plagued The Exorcist upon its release. A woman at one sceening broke her jaw and sued Warner Brothers. The case was settled out of court. The movie was banned for some time in the UK, and American evangelists believed running the film through a projector would bring about demonic possession.

Rebel Without a Cause introduced the world to a variety of young actors, many of whom met grim fates in the years following the film's release.
Most famously, star James Dean was killed while racing his Porsche 550 Spyder before the film's release, at the age of 24. He became one of the most recognizable and beloved actors of his generation, despite making only three films.
Dean's co-star, Natalie Wood, drowned amidst unusual circumstances in November 1981. She, husband Robert Wagner, and friend Christopher Walken had gone to Catalina Island for a weekend, and were staying on a yacht. It's thought Wood awoke at some point during the night and attempted to get off of the boat, causing her to slip, fall, and drown. Her body was found floating face down nearby, wearing a jacket, nightgown and socks.
A witness from another yacht later recalled hearing Wood calling for help, only to be ignored by someone else on the boat. The death was deemed an accidental drowning, but suspicions of foul play have always surrounded the case, and Wood's sister Lana has made attempts to get the LA County Sheriff's Department to reopen the investigation.
Another Rebel actor, Sal Mineo, died five years before Wood, after being stabbed to death in an alley in West Hollywood. He was 37.
Finally, in a last bizarre twist on the Rebel curse story, Beverly Hills orthopedic surgeon Troy McHenry fitted his own car with parts from the Porsche Spyder in which James Dean died. A year later, he was killed when his Porsche Spyder hit a tree.

There's one thing that can be said for today's places of worship: they do a very good job of driving people away. People who are interested in Christianity. The very people they claim they're attracting.
A verse of scripture comes to mind:
Woe unto you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.
Luke 11.52
Yes, that's exactly what today's churches are guilty of.
Whether it be the madness of Hill$ong, the typical "middle of the road" Anglican temple or the Bible-thumping "Reformed" church, it makes no difference. In this one respect, they're all the same.
Any place that isn't stiff (and there are few of those around these days) has electric guitars and drums at the front, ready for a lengthy time of "worship".
It's all so predictable. And all so totally useless.
All of today's "contemporary worship" is a turn off to all seekers of God. Furthermore, it's fake. All of us on the fringe can see through it. We've also endured enough bone dry sermons, thanks, and would rather watch paint dry.
So here's a tip for all the churches out there: ditch your "contemporary worship", cut out all the crap and we might be interested in coming.
Otherwise, continue to enjoy your navel gazing.

I've had a "bad" knee for more than 20 years and have not been able to fold it far enough to sit on my heals, but within a month or so after taking Cox2Tame, I could!

Posted by Reviewer1370457 on Jul 31, 2008 | Verified Purchase
I've scoured the Internet for something to help my bum knee. I've tried all sorts of combo-pills that are supposed to help joints and none have come close to the effectiveness of the Jarrow formula. One important note: It seems some people apply the same expectations to this as Rx pain killers. Although Cox2Tame has pain diminishing properties, it is so much more: with regular use, it can actually help treat THE SOURCE of the pain. I should know -- I've been using this for months and my knee has finally improved.
Hermoroid Relief
Posted by Reviewer1925286 on Sep 27, 2008 | Verified Purchase
I have servere hermoroid problem for years and resist to have surgery. It flares up whenever I have spicy food no matter how mild. The pain could last 3-5 days, it's really bothersome. I accidentally found out that Cox2-Tam could relieve the flare up. It's almost like quick chill after release of bottled up boiling water. I am taking Cox2-Tam daily now and I could enjoy more spicy food without the sufferings.
Love this!

If you have sore muscles or joints, you really should give this a try! It works great for post workout soreness and is much better than taking ibuprofen and the like.

Took this back in the 90s for migraine and joint pain. Wasn't able to find it for a long time, but it works like a charm for pain issues. It's the only thing I've taken that will help a migraine that's in progress. Either I'm sensitive or it's strong, because I only need one or two a day, otherwise my ears ring. That's the only down-side.

YES offers SME support opportunities for the employment and introduction of those young persons. YES is a European project including 8 partner institutions specialised in adult education. The project running from November 2007 - October 2009 is financed by the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme. It builds on and combines the results of the preceding projects EuroJobMediator and ADEC - Adult Educator in Company, which both developed useful resources for actors in the youth employment process. YES addresses recruiters selecting job applicants and introduce them into their company as well as mentors, in-company trainers of apprentices, instructors and other senior members of staff who supervise young people at work in SME.
Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), insertion of young people is often a big challenge. Many young applicants are early school leavers, have failed to complete vocational education and training, and often they are socio-economically and/or personally disadvantaged. YES offers SME support opportunities for the employment and introduction of those young persons.
Adressing youth as actor of social change on the one hand implies to analyse under what conditions young people can be included in and exert full citizenship status. On the other hand, it means discarding a perspective according to which young people are merely affected by social change in a passive way but tries to identify to what extent they play an active role in these processes by reinforcing or modifying structures through individual coping strategies and life styles.
> Young Parenthood > Transition to work of youth ethnic minority group > Civic participation
The YUSEDER research project tries to answer some crucial questions with regard to the risk of social exclusion associated with long-term youth unemployment. The first research question asks for key mechanisms linking the experience of long-term youth unemployment to various dimensions of social disintegration, conceived of in the theoretical framework of social exclusion. In this context, not only the mechanisms exacerbating the stress of unemployment (vulnerability factors) but also the protective mechanisms preventing or reducing the risk of social exclusion have to be taken into consideration. The second research question relates to new options of institutional and political intervention and counteraction in different national contexts.
The study has paid special attention on the consequences of long unemployment of youth on their physical and mental health, Kronauer (1998) outlines that social exclusion is always linked with unemployment - and that it is only given if at least both marginal economic position and social isolation are experienced at the same time. However it must be stressed that this concept can only be udnerstood by considering its multidimensionality. This means the flowing six indicators for social exclusion must be taken in account., Exclusion from the labour market, Economic exclusion, Institutional exclusion, Exclusion through social isolation, Cultural exclusion, Spatial exclusion

In order to do so: a) some 300 hundreds theoretical and empirical sources have been reviewed; b) 1000 cases of eInclusion support initiatives were screened and 125 of them analysed in depth; c) a wide ranging review of the economic literature on the impact of ICT was conducted; d) an econometric model to assess the impact of possessing or lacking digital skills on employability and wage differentials was designed and run. In addition to this, the Vienna Study also leveraged and analysed the empirical evidence from another project funded by DG Information Society and Media on ICT potential for the economic and social inclusion of immigrants and ethnic minorities (realised by the Join Research Centre of the European Commission Institute of Prospective Technological Studies, IPTS)3. The sheer breadth and depth of the theoretical and empirical evidence gathered and analysed in this study is unique and makes it a ground breaking contribution to the field.

Our understanding of group members' (potential) engagement with technology has been developed largely through primary research. In particular, focus groups were set up with group members and professionals working with the group.

Node has been updated to 0.10.28 and 0.11.13.
Version 0.10.28 was a quick update to the earlier 0.10.27 release, which updates C++ dependencies (openssl, libuv) as well as several core modules. One important change was the update of openssl to 1.0.1g.
Connect and Express have a vulnerability in the CSRF middleware component that means you can bypass it by making a
GET request with a method override parameter:
Connect's methodOverride middleware allows an HTTP request to override the HTTP verb with the value of the _method post parameter or with the x-http-method-override header. As the declaration order of middlewares determines the execution stack in Connect, it is possible to abuse this functionality in order to bypass the standard Connect's anti-CSRF protection.
Connect's CSRF middleware does not check CSRF tokens in case of idempotent verbs (GET/HEAD/OPTIONS, see csurf/index.js). As a result, it is possible to bypass the security control by sending a GET request with a POST MethodOverride header or parameter.

Wolfpack (GitHub: fdvj / wolfpack, License: MIT, npm: wolfpack) by Fernando De Vega is a SailsJS model testing library that uses SinonJS to mock the database and spy on models. That means you don't need a real database to run unit tests.
If you have Backbone testing backgrounds, this will be familiar to you. When testing a backbone model or collection, you instantiate it and provide mock data to test the methods. Rarely do you need your model or collection to communicate with the server to provide the results. That's because you want to test your model or collection, not how or if backbone is doing what it is supposed to do.

2012 Elizabeth Pinot Noir
The 2012 Elizabeth Pinot Noir is, once again, a Cab lovers Pinot - Raspberry, rose petals, classic terroir, leather, baked vanilla and subtle spice on this strong willed Pinot that turns heads for her excellent tannin extraction, fuller texture and deep rich color. This Pinot Noir from our Honey B Estate Vineyard in the Carneros is aged for 10 month in French Oak barrels to give it the perfect creaminess that an elegant Pinot deserves. The balanced acidity, good structure, and delicate tannins combine with the flavors of cranberries, pomegranate, and hints of tea to give the Elizabeth Pinot a richness that makes it the perfect food wine. This wine is delicious now, but has the ageability to be enjoyed 5-7 years from vintage date.

Sophisticated and graceful. Willful, yet fun. Elizabeth is the expression of Thomas's devotion to and in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Baldacci.
