Title: A Proud Sort of Generation
Series: Megaman Classic
Characters: Second and some third generations
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The proud second generation of Robot Master was bested by the Blue Bomber when they threatened the peace of the city Monsteropolis. Defeated, and with their purpose incomplete, they are reduced to merely doing what they must to survive to the next day. Realizing that things aren't taking a turn for the best to prepare for a new fight against Mega Man, Dr. Wily seeks out the assistance of Dr. Light, proclaiming that he's a changed man and develops a Third Generation of Robot Master. With their purpose stripped from them, and their replacement inevitable, the Second Generation is left to cope with this change the best way that they know how: waging bets against the more advanced line in hopes that Mega Man will defeat them so that they may reclaim their place as the best once again.
The Second Generation of Robot Masters had been refined in such a way that that was their sole purpose, and the only reason they existed. They were not made to be appealing to human sight, and they didn't need to be safeguarded in order to mingle among them. Limited and restricted, locked by the three laws of Asimov was a concept they would never come to understand upon activation. Removed from their being, they held orders to help their creator take over the world, and to them, nothing could stop them.
The best of all their kind.
Full of pride and programmed ambition that they were better than those they were modeled after: the First Generation of Light Numbers.
Failing wasn't an option, and their known enemies, the humans and Mega Man, wouldn't stand a chance against them.
Eager and restless, the takeover of Monsteropolis was swift, and victory was surely in their grasp. No Light Number could overcome them, and with the spirits of one city crushed, Dr. Wily easily made his announcement across the world, using Monsteropolis as the prime example as to what his Robot Masters could do to the rest of it all.
Overzealous and confident, Crash Man never expected to be defeated by the uprising hero they have been programmed specifically to combat against. Registering the 'Blue Bomber' in his data-banks, their battle had been quickly provoked. At first, Crash thought the gentle-natured robot before him was a joke and that the ones they were derived from were nothing more than insignificant examples to their greatness.
Brute strength and resilience to his own sporadically-placed bombs hadn't been enough against Mega Man for it was easy to provoke him to anger, and easier still to keep him distracted from any traps that lay in store for him. Defeat wasn't easily won, but he had still fallen like the rest of his brothers. Pride could never be restored from that single occurrence and a lesson couldn't be learned from strong-willed stubbornness crafted in layers upon layers of code. Every weakness had been exploited against him, and admitting that someone had bested them and made them fallsome in the most mocking of mannersas if they had been no more than a mere obstacle course in a video game was degrading.
Crash Man was never supposed to know this level of humiliation. Plucked up in exploded bits and pieces, he was eventually restored by his creator. With that restoration came limited functionality and a constant fight for survival. The sentient beings still required resources and with Dr. Wily out of a laboratory and funds to restore them fully, it left machine learning at work. Humiliation never struck so hard, and pride and dignity were soon lost to the need to exist from hour to hour. Low on energy, and without pristine parts, his line fought a new battle, and looked forward to the day where they could get their vengeance on Dr. Light and his Robot Masters. Programmed with the confidence that they would take over the world for Dr. Wily, they knew no other purpose, and believed that they would rise once again to fight for Dr. Wily's goal.
Humiliation developed further when they came. Fed up with the slow progression of setting up a lab and rebuilding from what Mega Man had torn down, Wily sunk to an all-time low and claimed that he was a changed man. Working alongside Dr. Light yet again, they constructed newer models, models Dr. Wily didn't need. Surely this was some plan just to retrieve the necessary materials to repair and enhance them to fare better against their known enemy, but when that moment never came, the Second Generation was left to seethe silently and to lick their wounds from the very shadows they had been cast in. After all, the thought of only half a Wily Number being Dr. Wily's priority was insulting at best, and truly stripped them all of their purpose.
It didn't help that they had to share the same abandoned facility with them when they weren't working for the very humans they had been programmed to despise so much. At first, Crash had wanted nothing to do with them, brandishing his drills into aggressive motion whenever one dared to cross paths with him. It seemed to work especially well against themall but one.
Hate, withheld only by code limitations, couldn't shove the Robot Master away, and when it was known that he would be among the ones to set out to achieve Dr. Wily's goal, it left him with a sense of betrayal, and stripped of a true purpose. The desire to be around other robots crafted without limitations to the humans that built them was quashed so easily, and left him with a vile bitterness and loathing towards them all instead. How could Dr. Wily do that to them? How could something else mobilize right before their very eyes and strip their last ray of identification from them? Their purpose had been to defeat Mega Man and to take over the world, and now they didn't even have that!!
Demanding explanation was out of the question for Dr. Wily was never around and what orders that were delivered to them were feasted upon like a hungry man gobbling up a plate of free food. It didn't matter what those orders were; it only mattered that they still gave them reason to carry on. That didn't stop their bitter nature towards the Third Generation from showing as, often times, bets would be had on who would fall first, or how much longer it would take Dr. Wily to view them as more than mere gophers to pillage through piles of junk in order to find spare parts for their own continued existence.
Giving up was not an option, if only because Crash and his brothers wanted to live to see the ones who had stolen their glory fall before Mega Man. Rooting for him over their other 'team mates' at such a stage in their active existence was petty, but that knowledge remained buried beneath a synthetic sense of ill feeling. So, like children, they gathered around refurbished and outdated technology, and like a hungry pack of wolves, listened to their favorite voice of reason: the Reporter Plum for details on Mega Man's progress.
Like a family preparing for a football game, seven of them rallied together before broadcasts, waged bets with mere scrap they had pathetically gathered for that week, and with new aspiration and energy, they crowded around the small radio that refused to pick up a frequency unless it was seated towards the far left of the room.
"Top's down. Just as I predicted." Air commented casually. No one cared about Air's sophisticated opinion anyway, so it wasn't a surprise to have Flash speak out before he could get any further with his statement.
"Ssssshhhh, we all knew how useless Top Man was, Air. It's why you only got three bolts from it."
While the two shot perpetual glares at one another, Crash leaned forward, one green eye squinting as worn sound receptors strained to pick up the feminine voice over his brothers' banter. Static shrouded many of the details, but already three of the Robot Masters had been destroyed by Mega Man. Magnet Man, Hard Man, and now Top Man. Crash never got the satisfaction of seeing how mauled and mangled each casing was, but that didn't stop him from visualizing it. That was only possible due to the staving examples gathered around one pathetic radio.
Each and every one of his brothers looked as if they had been put together from whatever stray part had been lying around. Paint evaded some of their components, and left nothing but raw metal to shine back at him in the dimly lit room. Such a light cast a haunting hue over them all. Broken, falling apart, in need of serious repairs and so low on energy most of their programs had to be turned off in order to save power to remain active just a little longer. The piles of scrap placed near each of them were a testament to 'newer' upgrades so that they could rise again. But first thing's first. The Third Numbers had to fail, and oh how they prayed that they would.
"Besides, they're all useless in comparison to us, Brother." Air insisted on getting the final say in the situation. Crash's lips pressed together, eyes narrowing further. Plum was saying something about an underground facility where a shadowed figure had been spotted with one of the energy crystals for Gamma
or that's what he was left to assume through the crackling static from the radio's feedback.
"Oh, there you go again! Can't just sit there and be" Drill tips trembled in slight frustration. He couldn't hear her!
"Oh no! It looks as if the Robot Master Shadow Man has
. lost Dr. Light"
"Both of you be silent" Metal began, and about that time it registered that Crash had waged the perfect bet.
"I was right!!" Drills 'zwee'd' in childlike excitement as he thrust them up, expression turned chipper as if he had received a present. "It's Shadow Man!" He announced, looking around from the radio to the others gathered around. But they didn't seem to hear him. Instead, all three of them were looking at him now, pulled out of their heat-of-the moment argument and back to reality. If looks could kill, Crash wouldn't exist anymore. It was as if they were relaying the message 'shut up, the adults are talking right now'. "But
" He mumbled in a dejected fashion.
"As I was saying, I don't take orders from you, especially after you'd led us into failure, Metal."
"Ohhh, gonna blame it all of Metal now?" Flash jeered.
"You guys are all dumb." Heat finally piped in, unable to hear as their voices rose, Air's still on the brink of being monotone and robotic due to verbal function failures.
"Can you guys do this after Mega Man beatswho was it
"Shadow Man! Like I was saying, Bubbles."
"Thanks. After Mega Man beats Shadow Man. Then you canthey're not listening to me." Bubbles sighed, looking slightly irate as Flash called Heat a 'pipsqueak' and threatened to tape his lid shut. This earned a gasp from the shorter robot and a quick 'Nah uhn! You wouldn't!'. At least their banter wasn't as deadly as Air and Metal's. Unlike Flash and Heat, the two hadn't been on the best of terms since their fall. Crash hated it.
But Metal and Air kept at it, their words easily drowning out over the sound of Plum's voice. Sadly, Crash had expected something like this, as none of them liked to lose and lately all it took was one comment to set someone off.
"Don't worry, Crash. I heard you." Wood, quiet as ever, finally spoke up, trying to soothe the pout that lingered on his features now. "I picked Needle Man this week, so I already lost."
"I did too. Lost I mean." Crash admitted, still unable to look away as threats grew worse.
"What?" Wood asked, voice rising so he could be heard.
"It's like they're in a completely different world," Bubbles gaped before he tried to join in on the only 'pleasant' conversation going on at the moment. "I picked Gemini Man myself, but it looks like he didn't go for him. No offense, but that guy gives me the creeps. He's so arrogant and full of himself!"
"I picked Snake Man." Crash added, finally tearing his gaze away to stare towards his other brothers. In the background Flash had successfully seated himself atop Heat's hood. What a waste of a Flash Stopper
"Again? You always pick him." Wood still smiled a little behind his sagging frame. Constructed from solid wood made it very difficult to keep him from looking pathetic, but at least Wood was back online. Up until a few weeks ago, his brother had been the last to be pieced back together; Mega Man hadn't been kind to his wooden-cased frame.
"Yeah, what's the deal there? None of us have ever seen him OR Shadow Man for that matter
They hadn't seen Snake Man, but Crash had. It had become a chore to evade the sneaky bastard, for even the obnoxious 'ZWEEEEE' of his drills failed to discourage being pestered. In fact, it likely was the primary reason that made him come back for frequent visits. Crash had no desire to get to know him, too wounded by the refined and upgraded models that waltzed around in the form of mockery. Like pouring salt into the wound, Snake's presence was a painful reminder of all that had come to pass, and all that wasn't going to pass now that they were there. Replaced, just like any outdated piece of technology was by the human trash they stood up against.
"I just don't like him."
"You must not in order to risk giving up your wages each time one of us hears Plum announce something else about the 'Gamma Incident'." Bubbles found humor in it, while Wood offered a smile that spoke of a mutual understanding. Wood was the only one out of them all that didn't verbally speak of how he felt about them.
Still, he supported his line mates, and Crash could have sworn he waged more than the others on purpose so that they would have more parts to fix themselves. How else was Wood going to give it to them? They were all stubborn
and accepting help was beyond them right now. They could earn their own place back in the world. They were strong and proud, too proud for their own good. Even now Metal and Air were set in silence, their pent-up frustration unleashed in the form of heated words and empty threats. Now neither of them had the energy to muster more than glares, silently seething over what they had said to one another. Hurt for hurt
blow for blow. Crash longed for it to be different; he longed for a past that could never be again.
"Looks like they've finally settled down." Bubbles whispered, seeming relieved that he could relax yet again.
"Oi, Flash! Get off Heat. I think he's learned his lesson." All were startled when Quick's voice finally broke out from the doorway, the proudest of them all finally having arrived back from his outing into Monsteropolis. It had been his turn to go out and rally some energy for them all and he didn't disappoint.
Always out to show that he was the best, he held up two loaded sacks of goods and grinned a charming grin from ear-to-ear.
"No need to be sour, we've got energy and it seems like Shadow Man didn't stand a chance~." As he spoke he tossed each two blue E-Tank cans, being sure to lodge Flash upside the head with one when he didn't listen and get off Heat. 'Why you' was cut off with another being tossed his way followed by a 'Catch!' and an upbeat snicker. Out of them all, Quick never showed how defeated he truly was, but when he thought no one was looking, Crash saw it. Perhaps it was because he was derived from Dr. Light's best creation, Elec Man, or maybe it was his overconfidence that kept him wearing the best mask.
"What do you mean 'didn't stand a chance'? Don't tell me youyou did."
"Sure did, Metal. I wanted to drop in and see how he was doing, and I have to say, it was a lot better than listening to pinkie here. She's just too slow to deliver the best news fast." He tapped his finger atop the radio, and listened to it fizzle in a foreign language of its own. He beckoned for everyone's attention, and easily got it as all of them settled down again.
"Come on, tell us all about it!" Crash wasn't the only one that was excited, and while Quick had tossed his to Bubbles to open for him as well as a straw to sip easier from, he couldn't help but want to hear how it had all happened over sipping at the much needed energy. Wood was nice enough to hold it out for him (Bubbles only had one hand and needed to nurse his own drink) and left Crash trying to juggle two things at once. Not wanting to tear his gaze from Quick he leaned towards the right, lips constantly opening and closing as they awkwardly sought out the straw protruding from the can itself. He was sure it looked ridiculous, but he honestly didn't care.
"Alright, alright. I'll fill you in and then we'll see who won~." Quick got comfortable leaning as casually as he could be against a heap of scrap, treating it as if it were his throne, if Crash didn't know any better. "So I finished up my mission earlyas alwaysand heard Plum on the radio. The location wasn't too far off so I decided to why not see our replacements in action. See what all the fuss is about, and I gotta say, it's not much! So Mega Man uses Spinning Man's special ability
." He began, his words just as outspoken as they had been so long ago
"Top Man." Air corrected.
"Whatever," he shot back flatly, rolling his eyes as if to say 'don't interrupt!' before quickly carrying on. "Spinning Man's ability is pretty useless. He just
twirls, but apparently that's Shadow Man's weakness."
"Are you serious?" Crash blurted, his goal of his lips finding the straw ruined by this big reveal.
"Yeah I'm serious! He was doing
so-so against Mega Man, but then he just used Spinning Man's attack and it was all over in no time. So
it went a little something like this!"
Quick's eyes seemed to light up as he spoke, hands moving in wild gestures as well as showcasing movements to mimic how Shadow Man fought. It was exaggerated and was likely a downplayed example on how 'well' the newer robot fared against Mega Man, but none of them wanted to believe it. They watched, and Crash even found himself laughing as Quick went to great lengths to see them all enjoying themselves during such a hard time.
They were the Second Generation of Robot Masters. Forged from Dr. Wily's hand and based off the blueprints of Dr. Light, they would always come together like this and wait patiently for the day to reclaim their purpose once more. A proud sort of generation like none had ever seen; they would make a comeback, and the world would know their names once again, and realize that they were a force to be reckoned with

Details of New Orleans Pelicans and the Ticket Luck value
It is the time to join basketball fever, come and be a part of it with New Orleans Pelicans tickets. Originating from New Orleans, Louisiana, the New Orleans Pelicans is a famous professional basketball team. Commonly known as the Pelicans, this team represents and plays in NBA's Southwestern division of the Western Conference. It began its basketball career in 1988-89 of the NBA season. At that point in time, the franchise was known as Charlotte Hornets as it was staioned in Charlotte. Over there, it continued playing for fourteen consecutive seasons. It relocated then in 2001-02 season to New Orleans and changed their name to New Orleans Hornets. After three seasons, the league was forced to relocate one again to Oklahoma City due to hurricane Katrina. The temporary shift to a new city meant a wait period till the re-establishment of New Orleans. In the meantime, the team's name at the time was amended to New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets.
Their homecoming in New Orleans in the 2007-08 season was a celebration of a kind. It started a new era for the team where it stuck by to New Orleans only and started establishing a good foothold and standing in NBA's regular seasons. They became Pelicans by the end of the 2012-13 season.
This NBA league was created George Shinn due to the absence of a local team. Soon after a huge fan base followed and the team became an icon and big time sports representative of North Carolina. Hornets were known to have contributed a great deal to sports fashion trends. The team's first GM Carl Sheer and head coach Dick Harter took every member from the ground up. The first season of the Hornets was marked by Kelly Tripucka, who was Charlotte's top scorer in the first two seasons. During the second season, Dick Harter was replaced by Gene Littles owing to Harter's defensive strategies which led the team to lose many games. Littles only served the team till the end of second season and was replaced by Allan Bristow. The Hornets' performance improved between the 1991-95 seasons.
The team made its first winning record in the fifth season at the score 44-38. This earned Hornets its first playoff berth in the franchise's history. In the league's early years in New Orleans, it was coached by Paul Silas, Tim Floyd and Byron Scott. From 2005 until 2011 the team was evolving and struggling for a strong lineup. It earned its first division title under head coach Jeff Bower. NBA purchased the league from Shinn in 2010.
New Orleans Pelicans have been playing basketball now for about twenty-five seasons. Its overall performance compared to other leagues have been evaluated above the average. The team has an overall record of 961-1023 in regular seasons. Some of the team's achievements include five playoff series victories and a division title. Also, the league has qualified for twelve post-season playoffs. Don't miss out their games this season and book your New Orleans Pelicans tickets at the earliest.

Most of the professors here are "amazing" and "really help your skills grow"; these "talented young professors with no fear" are dedicated to their job and the major, and "always bring fresh ideas to the class." The faculty is "very diverse" and each offers "unique opinions and experiences on the field," though some classes can be "a hit-or-miss situation." Students say the key to getting the most of your education "is to choose teachers that reflect what you want to do." "All of my professors are enthusiastic about their work and encourage open minds and new directions 100% of the time," says a student. "If I want to try something new, I'm always encouraged." Many professors work professionally outside of Pratt, so "they really have current industry knowledge." "Most of them are inspiring as teachers. All of them are inspiring as people and artists."
Students say that the "cafeteria gets repetitive and boring", but the registration process is the most complained about part of Pratt; the process of getting certain forms signed by many people is known as the notorious "Pratt Runaround." Otherwise, "it's a very smooth place to do art and meet people interested in the same things as you."
The campus grounds in Brooklyn are "beautiful" and "it doesn't feel like a campus, more like a park, which is a great environment." A lot of everyone's time is spent "in the studio, in class, or at an internship," but "fun activities can be endless if you can spare the time away from your work." Also, the school tends to skew female with a high LGBT quotient, so "if you are a straight male it is a paradise."
The Jeanne Clery Act requires colleges and universities to disclose their security policies, keep a public crime log, publish an annual crime report and provide timely warnings to students and campus employees about a crime posing an immediate or ongoing threat to students and campus employees.

The Pirate Bay Briefly Taken Down, Admins Mock the "MAFIAA"
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
Say what you will about The Pirate Bay and its admins, but you can't say they lack a sense of humor.
(Source: The Pirate Bay)
Arggh, the ship isn't sunk yet!
Many times the good things in life just don't last. That may yet be the case with The Pirate Bay. For years internet users worldwide used the site to get their music, TV, and movie fix. Some of the torrents were legal, others were orphaned works (technically illegal to share), and still others were blatant examples of infringement. But all these torrents had one thing in common -- they brought people across the world together through enjoyable experiences.
However, yesterday the legal woes of the world's largest torrent site forced it to temporarily go offline, signalling a potential end to those happy times. The site's legal crisis first began when Swedish courts found the site's admins guilty of copyright infringement and ordered them
jailed and fined
over $3.6M USD.
The site was
by Sweden's Global Gaming Factory, which made a bid to make the site legit under a rather nebulous plan. Now it appears that bid -- and the site -- may be in jeopardy thanks to the aggressive legal action of copyright protection organizations.
MPAA, RIAA, and IFPI sued the ISP that provided service to The Pirate Bay's ISP and won. That ISP was ordered on Monday by a Swedish court
to take down the site or face daily fines of
$70,000 USD. The site was
quickly taken down
, only to pop back up after a few hours, only to be taken down yet again.
The site owners, who are currently appealing the original judgement, write, "
The good people at the MAFIAA decided to sue. Not TPB [The Pirate Bay], not the owners of TPB. Not even TPBs ISP. They decided to sue TPBs ISPs IS
And you know what? They won. They made a court believe their #lies and they made them force the ISPs ISP to shut down access to TPB."
The MAFIAA has spent millions of dollars and endless amounts of time to get this ban in order.
Our guess is that they also bribed a bit to get it since it violates so many laws not only in Sweden but also in the EU, not to mention violations against human rights. And what do they have to show for it? [Three] hours of partial downtime."
The Pirate Bay admins refer to the MPAA, RIAA, and IFPI, collectively, as MAFIAA due to the organizations' reputation for resorting to at times thuggish legal tactics. Whatever name you know these organizations as, it is clear that they're on a roll, with massive
jury verdicts
over U.S. citizens Jammie Rassett-Thomas and Joel Tenenbaum, and securing an order to takedown of the world's largest torrent site.
However, The Pirate Bay admins remain defiant and determined. As of this morning the site was back online, with no apparent service interruptions. The admins are now offering a new T-Shirt for sale on the home page mocking the copyright protection organizations. The shirt reads, "I spent months of time and millions of dollars to close down The Pirate Bay and all I'll get is this beautiful t-shirt!"
Further, the true impact of the takedown and other potential future takedowns may be minimized by the spread of a recently released, easily accessible,
archive of the entire site
, including all its torrents, written in SQLite3.
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

Prostate cancer is no longer a death sentence; there is hope. That simply was not true five years ago. And five years from now, we'll have grandfathers, fathers, uncles and brothers alive who never would have been if it hadn't been for a common commitment to put prostate cancer out of business through research.
There is a moment up ahead where men will no longer be treated unnecessarily, where every man and family has the right information about prostate cancer.
With resolve and a total commitment of putting money in the hands of the very best doctors and scientists, prostate cancer will lead the way as the first major cancer to simply cease to be a cause of death and suffering.
At the same time, PCF funds key clinical trials as part of its efforts to shorten the time between drug development and FDA approval. In the past four years, PCF-funded science has seeded, in some cases invented, developed, and accelerated to patients six new, life-extending, FDA approved drugs for advanced prostate cancer.
We are incredibly proud of the work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, and together we are all part of a community that has helped reduce United States prostate cancer deaths by 30%.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation spends 83% of the funds it receives to empower the world's top scientific minds by cutting red tape and encouraging collaboration to speed breakthroughs by funding ground-breaking research and helping raise awareness for the disease.

Mary Rogers and Mike Dell Write Article for Law360 on Employment Lawsuits Against the Borgata
What does the Act mean for employers? The Act expressly provides that employers are not required to accommodate "the medical use of marijuana in any workplace." In other words, while the Act permits the medicinal use of marijuana, employers may prohibit the use of the substance at the workplace.Notably, the federal Controlled Substances Act contradicts the New Jersey law by listing marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance. This means that it is illegal, under federal law, for a person to possess, ingest or sell marijuana, even for medicinal purposes.Impact on Employer PoliciesGiven the federal and New Jersey laws, employers can continue to enforce zero-tolerance anti-drug policies in the workplace. Employers, however, must exercise caution in drafting and distributing such policies. One way for employers to ensure that their policy comports with both federal and state law is to include a provision prohibiting the use of any "illegal" drugs on company premises. The term "illegal" can be defined to include all substances that are illegal under federal, state or local laws. The policy can also expressly state that it applies to the use of marijuana, for any reason.The anti-drug policy should be distributed to all prospective and current employees, along with an acknowledgement of receipt of the policy for the individual to sign. In order to guard against any types of claims for disability discrimination, the employer's policy on accommodating disabilities in the workplace under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) should also be distributed.Bottom Line

As a college biology major during the 1970s I was taught that cells in which the genetic material is separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane – such as those of animals, fungi, plants, and protists – are called eukaryotes. In contrast, the DNA of bacteria is not bounded by such a structure, and hence these microbes are called prokaryotes, a name that means 'before the nucleus'. This concept was accepted by biologists until the late-1970s, when Carl Woese used ribosomal RNA sequences to deduce the relationships among living organisms. He found that microorganisms previously thought to be bacteria, because they have no nucleus, were no more related to bacteria than to eukaryotes. He proposed that living organisms should be classified into three lineages, now called bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Nevertheless, the prokaryotic classification is still used by many biologists. The following letter from Elio Schaecter, sent to TWiV, explains why:

What's the attraction?
It's that time of year again – the start of January instigates the well-meaning intention to start fitness regimes, get a dose of R&R or shed a few pounds. Wellbeing holidays have entered the mainstream, offering the chance to combine a fabulous location with an activity that will set you on the path to wellness: there's nothing quite like tucking into a well-earned meal following a demanding hike through the countryside. Whether you are after a strict detox to cleanse your system, a massage to sooth your aching muscles, or sunrise yoga gazing out over the ocean, there are plenty of options to choose from.
On top of the world
Toning up in the fresh mountain air is just one of the feel-good factors of a few days on the slopes. And in one of Switzerland's most renowned ski resorts, St Moritz, there is now another reason to visit. The Kulm Hotel (00 41 81 836 8000; www.kulmhotel-stmoritz.ch), has just unveiled its impressive £8m spa. Spend your days skiing, then retire to the spa with its 12 treatment rooms and pool with a view of Lake St Moritz. Iglu Ski (020-8542 6658; iglu ski.com) is offering a week's half board at the hotel from £1,874 pp, with flights from Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham or Manchester on 16 March, transfers and a lift pass.
Spanish shape-up
Fitscape (020-8968 0501; fitscape.co.uk) runs retreats in some of the most picturesque corners of Europe. During their stay, guests benefit from a team of personal fitness trainers, who can tailor-make a programme to suit all levels and fitness goals. Fitscape's chefs also ensure menus are nutritious, without feeling abstemious. Monasterio is one of its bases in Andalucia, 20 minutes inland from the coast at Sotogrande. The next trip takes place from 28 March and the price of £1,695pp, includes seven nights' full board and various activities, personal training, a fitness consultation, group classes and transfers. Flights extra.
Body beautiful
Saint Lucia is currently benefiting from a clutch of new luxurious hotels. But when it comes to looking and feeling better, one of its more established resorts, The Body Holiday is still ideal for those in search of a bit of feel-good activity combined with some luxury. It has the Caribbean's largest spa as well as innovative programs with themes such as Optimal Wellness. Guests can also book in for a fitness program to stay focused once they return home. Virgin Holidays (0844 557 4321; virginholidays.co.uk) offers seven nights in January from £2,185 pp, all-inclusive with flights from Gatwick and transfers.
Burst of energy
If you can't commit to a week away, The Healthy Holiday Company (020 8968 0501; thehealthyholidaycompany.com) has launched a has launched a series of short "Game Changer" weekends of two to four nights that are designed to kick-start all those good intentions. There's a three-night yoga and surfing break at Paradis Plage on the Moroccan coast near Agadir. Each morning starts with a yoga class, while afternoons are spent mastering the waves then in the spa to soothe aching muscles. The trip costs from £635pp, with flights from Gatwick, transfers and all activities.
Inner calm
Adopting a healthier lifestyle always seems a bit easier in warmer weather. The exotic climes of Sri Lanka offer the chance to do just that. In a spectacular setting two-and-a-half hours north of Kandy, Ulpotha is set on an organic farm. There is no electricity, hot water or alcohol, but what you get instead is peace and tranquillity, meals mainly made from produce from the resort's gardens, yoga classes and Ayurvedic therapies. A week-long break starts at £1,720pp with Fleewinter (020 7112 0019; fleewinter.com) including flights from Heathrow, transfers, full-board, yoga, some treatments and activities.
Austrian overhaul
If you are serious about getting back on track after Christmas, you should consider checking into the Park Hotel Igls (00 43 521 377 305; parkhotel-igls.at) in the Tyrolean Alps. The resort promotes the holistic practices of "Modern Mayr Medicine" devised by Dr Franz Xaver Mayr, which considers digestive health and nutrition, as well as exercise, as central to our wellbeing. The centre's resident medical team devises its guests an individual treatment plan; special programs can also alleviate ailments including back pain and sleep disorders. A seven-day Mayr Classic programme costs from €1,010, full board.
Insider Information
"Try and incorporate some exercise into your holiday, especially if you plan to get back into training. A couple of simple exercise tips: call the hotel in advance and find out what gym equipment they have and plan a workout with your own trainer or local gym instructor before you go. Alternatively go for a run before breakfast, it is a great way to explore." Matt Roberts, personal trainer (mattroberts.co.uk).
Who said that?
"The greatest wealth is health." – Virgil
"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open." – B K S Iyengar
"The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not." – Mark Twain

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Going ashore while on the hook
I just completed the CYA Intermediate Cruising course and anchoring lessons were included nightly for many different depths and bottom types. In one spot it took us two hours to anchor (dragging on bare stone) until we gave up and went with lines to the rocks. So much anchoring practice...
Re: Going ashore while on the hook
This is my 11th year of living on the hook mostly but not all in the Caribbean. Here are some random thoughts.
Use an anchor one size up from the recommendation. I am a dinosaur and living in the dark ages so have always used CQRs. They tell me they have proof there are better anchors.
All chain is the ONLY way to go long term. Chain in the locker is as useful as runway behind you. Now 250 feet out when you are in 10 feet is overkill but in 40 feet? Have the bitter end tied to some rope that could be easily cut in an emergency. If you have to do this, buoy the end even if the buoy will sink. It will help the diver find it.
I would only ever use one anchor except in storm conditions and expecting a major wind shift. In 11 years I have deployed the second anchor twice for storms. There is an exception to this. If you are in somewhere like Nassau and there is a major reversing current use a Bahamian anchor technique where two anchors are set at 180 degrees. The current reverses but the boat does not move much.
If you have ANY doubt about where you are anchored try again and again. I regard an electric anchor windlass as a major safety device. It does not get tired.
When you are happy that the anchor has gripped, back down on it hard. IE take up slack then at least 3/4 throttle in reverse for 5 to 10 seconds. If you are towing the dink it makes a good drag warning. Initially under reverse it will come towards the stern but after 5 seconds it should be dropping back. It is at this point you find if you have shortened the line to avoid getting it round your prop, ask me how I know this. When someone anchors in front of you watch to see if they do this. If yes ,stop worrying about them dragging if they don't then you might consider setting your fenders out in anticipation. BTW I just can not believe it when I see someone not backing down on their anchor. I want to scream something at them.
Snorkeling your anchor is a good idea if the water is clear. So Bequia yes but Falmouth harbor no.
Get to know your harbors. eg Falmouth harbor Antigua has excellent holding but Admiralty Bay Bequia is notoriously variable.
Leave your keys in the ignition. Leave your anchor windlass in active mode or if the switch is in the cockpit make sure it is clearly marked. Have your second anchor on deck and attached to it's rode. Ideally on a second anchor roller. If you are away and the boat drags then make it as easy as possible for the good samaritan to sort it out and reanchor your boat.
If you are anchoring in a place where you suspect there could be things to snag your anchor then use a tripping line. DO NOT BUOY IT. Use thin cable ties to run it back along the chain. I have watched a boat become anchored by the stern when it got it's tripping line around prop on a day when the winds are gusty and coming from all directions. Yes it duly tripped its anchor and went walkabout into shallow water !
In squally weather I like to stay onboard for at least one squall. Check your position relative to neighboring boats.
Use a nylon snubber line to a chain hook. It will dramatically reduce chain noise in the forecabin. If you use a rolling hitch make sure you can cut it off, they will tighten and become impossible to undo.
If you are single handing an anchor remote is a good thing. You want to be able to operate the engine and the windlass from the cockpit in an emergency. It is on my TODO list.
Be very aware of the boats of different hull types when they anchor close to you on rope rode. Something like a lightweight catamaran anchored by the stern with it's dagger boards up behaves very differently from a heavyweight deep keel mono on all chain. **Does anyone know why the French anchor their lightweight multis by the stern?
Finally if you anchor after another boat and if for some reason you start getting close together it is your responsibility to move, even if it is a MOBO on 250 feet of rope in 10 feet of water. He was there first so suck it up and move.
Re: Going ashore while on the hook
One of the lesser joys of cruising ?
I know I hate being too far away when we are achored even though I've never dragged when away from the boat.
One thing I know, I'd not be leaving an anchored boat in anything other than a well sheltered anchorage. To do so if anchored in an open roadstead seems the height of folly to me.

Drop the pick pull it in and then go to shore and have a life.
If the wind is blowing 25 knots or more when you first arrive then inspect your brain and it will tell you to stay on the boat for that night. The next night in the same wind you are fine to go ashore.
Just because you (and lots of people) read all sorts of horror stories on the internet don't start to believe them! 99.999999999999% of 'watch out this will happen to YOU' will NOT happen to you.
Go have fun and don't worry
Re: Going ashore while on the hook
Anchoring out is scary, like most things we do the first time. Do it a few times in your local area, and like all new things you grow into it, and all the what if's will fade. Do your homework and have fun.

It depends
What are the winds and the sea state?
If its less than ideal, we don't go ashore. Especially in the first day. If we've been anchored and faced hi winds, chop, current switches for a few days then it's not such a worry.
The bigger worry is the other guy. Hard to plan for all contingencies. Sometimes sh!t happens. You can minimize but not eliminate the risk.
And regarding the tying to shore. That's a false sense of security in my mind. What if the wind shifts to the beam? The anchor has much more pull in that way. You cannot swing to the wind and current. Only good in very settled, protected spots.
Re: Going ashore while on the hook
I like the idea of an app that will report when the boat swings, even when I'm not aboard. That shouldn't be that hard to write (if it doesn't exist already), but you'll need to leave a GPS aboard that has good visibility, good battery, and make sure you have good connectivity at both ends.
Hmmm...I wonder if there's a way to set this up to broadcast over VHF. Yeah, you'd have to bring another device with you, but it would work wherever you are (provided you're within your boat's VHF broadcast range).

Re: Going ashore while on the hook
You do the best you can, and hope for the best. You can mitigate the risk of others' fouling you by anchoring away from the nicer/more convenient spots (kinda like parking your cherry 57 Chev at the outer edge of the mall parking lot)
But it's not realistic to stay on the boat all the time.. the shore excursions are/should be a large part of the reason you're doing what your doing. So you do you best, and hope...

I may have made a mistake going grocery shopping after work. I was so exhausted I could hardly see, and now I am wide awake. At least I have everything I need and I won't have to go anywhere after I get up. I can take it easy, clean, at get ready for company tonight.
I couldn't help but wonder how many 911 calls came in about kids walking to high school. I passed 8, before the sun came up. It's been several years since I have seen that. I live in an area that's pretty safe where this is concerned, and we have a nice wide sidewalk all the way from town to the school. It was made for walking (though it would be 3-7 miles for some but an easy walk), but yet people over the past 10 years have treated walking like it's a crime. Especially if you're a woman or under 18. I want to yell, "shut up! you're grandma walked to school 15 miles, by herself, thru the woods, at 6." No kidding.
When I hear terms like "
" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??

It seems the corporate bank rollers of the Chelsea Flower Show can't win. First the Evening Standard reveals that half the usual show garden sponsors have pulled out due to the credit crunch (corporate grandstanding being even more distasteful than executive bonuses in these lean times). The show is to have only 13 show gardens this summer - last year it boasted 22 high-budget displays, with gardens costing up to £400,000 to create. This year will see many big name garden designers being left without sponsorship.
Now, the Telegraph reports (with some measure of disgust) that Lloyds is continuing to support Chelsea "in a move likely to inflame shareholders". Despite making use of government bail-outs, Lloyds is to extend its backing of Chelsea's gala preview night "in a deal through to be worth a six-figure sum".
So what is a poor struggling financial institution to do? Keep smiling with a big budget display of box balls and peonies (the perfect antidote to economic doom and gloom)? Or pull the lawn out from under Chelsea, with a huge withdrawal of cash funding? Given that Chelsea is essentially horticultural set-building on a grand scale, it will be very interesting to see how it maintains its reputation in these cash strapped times. Displays of bare soil perhaps? A few seed trenches? Some polytunnels fashioned from cling film? Whatever will the Kensington ladies-who-lunch think?
Post your credit-crunch Chelsea suggestions here.

If the last few years have been virtual homages to the 1960s, then the next few are looking to follow the laws of chronology. The 70s are back: The house of Halston is being primed for a major revamp, catsuits were spotted all over the S/S 2008 New York runways, and rumblings of the 1940s (the nimbus of the 70s silhouette) are gaining momentum.
And now there is this cover, which eerily harks back to the heydays of Sonny and Cher. Vinoodh with his 'stache and dark chestnut bangs and Inez with her middle-parted locks evoke the iconic couple, albeit with more talent and no foreseeable Bob Mackie obsession.

2 Recommendations
Aswan's recommendation
Woah, each of these chocolate chews contains as much caffeine as 3 cans of coke or 1.25 Red Bulls. Definitely eat with caution and keep this away from your kids. You don't want that kind of uncontrolled madness on your hands.
ttownqt's recommendation
its chocolate, and caffeine. does anyone else see the true, simple beauty in this idea? it would take a little less than 96 of these to kill me...so i'd better watch it.

Venus Unveiled
For a full list of the complement of instruments on Venus Express you can take a look at the VEX Instrument Summary .For the most part, I'll focus on data from VIRTIS and SPICAV-SOIR. VIRTIS is a spectral imager which observes patches of Venus in a set of wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (0.25 microns) to the near infrared (5 microns). On the night-side VIRTIS infrared yields thermal emission, which can provide information about cloud structure and temperature, as well as information about atmospheric constituents.. On the day-side VIRTIS infrared images are dominated by reflection of the near-infrared component of sunlight; the absorption of solar near-infrared also provides valuable information about atmospheric constituents, as well as information about cloud structure that is complementary to the night-side thermal emission. SPICAV/SOIR is a spectrometer with somewhat different characteristics; it returns high-resolution ultraviolet images , which reveal interesting aspects of atmospheric dynamics. The reflection of short wavelengths like ultraviolet gives a good indication of the occurrence of cloud particles, but the utility of ultraviolet observations is enhanced by the presence of an as-yet unidentified ultraviolet absorber in the atmosphere of Venus, which shows up in the form of dark streaks on ultraviolet images. Besides being useful as an ultraviolet imager, SPICAV/SOIR is used with a technique called occultation, in which the attenuation of starlight or sunlight passing through the atmosphere provides information about the vertical profile of various atmospheric constitutents, including sulfur dioxide, water vapor (and its various isotopes), carbon monoxide, carbonyl sulfide and oxygen. SPICAV is derived from spare parts from a similar instrument (SPICAM) that flew on Mars Express, but SOIR, which adds infrared channels useful for solar occultuation measurements, was newly developed for Venus Express.
Venus Express also carried a thermal infrared spectrometer, PFS, which was intended to study wavelengths longer than 5 microns. Thermal emission in these wavelengths is important to the understanding of the radiation budget of Venus. Unfortunately, this instrument was the one disappointment in an otherwise spectacularly successful mission, as the PFS was rendered inoperative by the failure of a critical shutter to open. But no worries — the instruments that did work provide a great wealth of new material to think about.
Venus Express sports a lightweight radio-science package, VeRa. Radio occultation is a low tech but highly valuable workhorse of planetary observation. By observing the refraction of radio waves passing through the atmosphere, one can obtain density profiles, since the index of refraction is proportional to density. From density and the hydrostatic relation (i.e. pressure is the weight of all the fluid above you) it is possible to reconstruct temperature profiles if you know what the atmosphere is made of. On Venus, radio occultation can observe the atmosphere down to about 45 km. altitude from the surface.

With other bills and needing new tires on the wife's vehicle it just ain't going to happen until after the first of the year.
And I'm very jealous of that .300 Whisper barrel and deal! That thing looks great. :congrats:
Well...............It looks like Santa's gonna drop off a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull in the 2 1/2 inch BBL..............AND My son Stephen, (he's 15) will be getting a Walther P22 in the 4 inch BBL Blue.. nd, on eother thing too.............I was checking out the model 60s in the shelves (I'm such a scrounger) and I came across one that I traded in about 12 years ago. I'm sure, when I look thru the history on the gun, I'll find out haow many hands it's changed since I unloaded it. I'm placing that one on Lay-a-way (the 60)
No pictures yet, but Santa brought me (early at that!) a Marlin 336W 30-30.

James did move into 10th place on the NFL's all-time rushing list against the Cowboys, but that was a bit of a Franco Harris moment for the Seahawks – too little, too late. The move will give more reps to Justin Forsett.
Drafted fourth overall in the first round of the 1999 NFL draft, the Miami alum led the NFL in rushing his first two seasons and became a major part of Indianapolis' dynamic offense in recent years. He missed the Colts' Super Bowl XLI win over the Chicago Bears, but made it to Super Bowl XLIII as a member of the Cardinals in their close loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In addition to releasing James, the Seahawks officially announced the release of cornerback Travis Fisher, and safety C.J. Wallace. To replace them on the 53-man roster, the Seahawks have signed wide receiver Mike Hass, cornerback Roy Lewis, and safety Jamar Adams off their practice squad.
Added to the practice squad were running back Devin Moore, and cornerbacks Trae Williams and DeAngelo Willingham.
Moore originally joined the Seahawks as undrafted free agent from Wyoming, but was released at the end of training camp after leading the 'Hawks with 136 yards rushing and scoring the team's only rushing touchdown during the preseason.
Williams is a first-year player from South Florida who was chosen by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 5th round of the 2008 NFL Draft, but was waived at the end of training camp and spent the entire season on the Eagles' practice squad. Philadelphia waived Williams on September 5, and 10 days, Williams worked out for the Seahawks.
Willingham is an undrafted rookie from Tennessee. He made 8 tackles for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the pre-season, but was waived at the end of August. The Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots both put claims Willingham, with his services awarded to Dallas. The Cowboys released him a few days later, and the Patriots added him to their practice squad, where he spent two weeks before being released on September 21.

Her Royal Highness will no longer accompany The Duke of Cambridge on their planned engagement in Oxford today.
Your Royal Highness, my dear beautiful Uma [Thurman], and my dear BAFTA friends, yes, you've done me in.
Each country plans its own celebration to receive and honor her Royal Highness (well, her representative baton, at least).
As Harvey Weinstein made his way into the event, one reporter shouted: "Your Royal Highness!"
Well, I suppose His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge is a bit of a mouthful.
Her Royal Highness was seldom seen, save when she drove through the streets.
"I—just felt like throwing something," explained His Royal Highness.
Can your Royal Highness have contemplated the full extent of your declaration?
And from that time on he addressed His Royal Highness as "old sport."
Monsieur Allard awaits the honor of being received by your Royal Highness.

Over 2000 AOL Employees Supporting 54 Volunteer Projects Across 21 Offices Worldwide
New York (May 16, 2013) – Today, AOL sets out on its fourth Monster Help Day - whereby over 2000 employees take part in the global community service day, a tradition which was started in honor of AOL's 25th birthday (now celebrating 28th birthday). The initiative enables employees to step away from their busy working lives to give something back to the communities in which they live and work. AOL employees will engage in a variety of service activities including Hurricane Sandy Disaster response cleanup and reading to elementary school children in underserved schools to promote early literacy that will total roughly 10,000 hours of community service.
"One of our core values at AOL is that we are in the business of helping people, period. Though AOL employees demonstrate that value each and every day, they take it one step further on Monster Help Day," said Joey Blumenfeld, Director of Cause Marketing and Community Relations at AOL. "This year marks the fourth annual Monster Help Day, which is a global community service day where AOLers around the world come together as a company to use their time, energy and resources to help strengthen local communities. It's a win-win where we give back to local charities and in turn, these local charities give back by providing us with a truly rewarding and meaningful experience."
The charities are in the communities in which our offices are located, as well as near and dear to our employees' hearts. Visit aol.it/monsterhelp2013 to learn more about AOL's Monster Help Day and the charities we are working with.
Established in 2010 to celebrate AOL's 25th birthday, Monster Help Day was inspired by a group of AOL employees looking for a way to celebrate the company's history. The annual event underscores AOL's core mission of serving people in their communities. Monster Help Day has become an international day of service for all of AOL. By incorporating two of AOL's values to act with integrity and take fun seriously, employees work as a team to make a difference for those in need. From Dublin to Dulles, AOL employees take the day off from work and focus on making a direct and impactful difference in the communities where they live.

Hi, I'm relatively new to forums but was very excited to find this place to exchange ideas, suggestions and support.
I started my own business just over 2 years ago, Workshop for Women, LLC. I teach basic home improvement skills to women in the Denver Metro area (Colorado, that is).
My goal is to teach women to handle basic home repairs themselves while also educating them about when to call a professional. I teach things like drywall repair, how to hang things on your walls and ceilings, replacing receptacles and installing switches and light fixtures. I also teach the basics of power tools and simple carpentry skills and also simple sprinkler system maintenance. I hope to have a new homeowner class and plumbing class available by the end of the year.
I am by no means an expert but have enough experience to know what are my limitations. I've learned something new in every class I've taught and I'm fortunate enough to love what I do.
I look forward to meeting everyone on this forum and say Thanks in advance!
Hi Judy!

Heritage Sites of Hawaii Island
Heritage Sites of Hawaii are special places located throughout the islands that provide significant historical, cultural and environmental contributions to the understanding and enjoyment of Hawaii. Whether it's a unique natural wonder; a National Park or Monument; or a sacred place that encapsulates Native Hawaiian customs, beliefs and practices; these are the sites that are "must see" destinations that have been visited by the people of Hawaii for generations.
There are seven Heritage Sites of Hawaii on Hawaii Island. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Hawaii's most popular visitor attractions. This expansive park is the world-famous home of some of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Maunaloa.
If you want to see a waterfall, visit Akaka Falls State Park. This park features a popular self-guided walk that features two amazing waterfalls, Akaka Falls (442 feet) and Kahuna Falls (100 feet).
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park is a site where you can learn about life in early Hawaii by viewing fishponds, kii pohaku (petroglyphs) and heiau (temples).
On the southern Kona Coast, Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park is where the first westerner, Captain James Cook first set foot on the island of Hawaii in 1779. He died here just a year later. A monument stands here in his name.
Take a self-guided tour of Lapakahi State Historical Park and explore traditional Hawaiian lifestyles. This park is home to an over 600-year old, partially restored fishing settlement.
Also on the Kona Coast, the Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park is a 180-acre national historic park that was once the site of royal grounds and was a place of refuge for Hawaiian lawbreakers. It fearures many interpretive exhibits of Hawaiian life and culture.
Part of the National Park System, Puukohola Heiau National Historical Site features one of the largest heiau (temple) built in Hawaii. One of the last major temples built by King Kamehameha I between 1790-1791, this heiau played a significant role in the unification of the Hawaiian Islands.
In Kailua-Kona, you can take a walk back in time at Hulihee Palace, a favorite retreat of Hawaiian royalty. Exquisite koa furniture, Hawaiian artifacts and personal memorabilia of the royal family offer touching glimpses of Hawaii's yesteryear.
Learn more about the other Heritage Sites of Hawaii.
