'I want her to have it all,' said William Belton to Mr Green, the lawyer, when they came to discuss the necessary arrangements for the property.
'But that would be absurd.'
'Never mind. It is what I wish. I suppose a man may do what he likes with his own.'
'She won't take it,' said the lawyer.
'She must take it, if you manage the matter properly,' said Will.
'I don't suppose it will make much difference,' said the lawyer 'now that Captain Aylmer is out of the running.'
'I know nothing about that. Of course I am very glad that he should be out of the running, as you call it. He is a bad sort of fellow, and I didn't want him to have the property. But all that has had nothing to do with it. I'm not doing it because I think she is ever to be my wife.'
From this the reader will understand that Belton was still fidgeting himself and the lawyer about the estate when he passed through London. The matter in dispute, however, was so important that he was induced to seek the advice of others besides Mr Green, and at last was brought to the conclusion that it was his paramount duty to become Belton of Belton. There seemed in the minds of all these councillors to be some imperative and almost imperious requirement that the acres should go back to a man of his name. Now, as there was no one else of the family who could stand in his way, he had no alternative but to become Belton of Belton. He would, however, sell his estate in Norfolk, and raise money for endowing Clara with commensurate riches. Such was his own plan but having fallen among counsellors he would not exactly follow his own plan, and at last submitted to an arrangement in accordance with which an annuity of eight hundred pounds a year was to be settled upon Clara, and this was to lie as a charge upon the estate in Norfolk.
'It seems to me to be very shabby,' said William Belton.
'It seems to me to be very extravagant,' said the leader among the counsellors. 'She is net entitled to sixpence.'
But at last the arrangement as above described was the one to which they all assented.
When Belton reached the house which was now his own he found no one there but his sister. Clara was at the cottage. As he had been told that she was to return there, he had no reason to be annoyed. But, nevertheless, he was annoyed, or rather discontented, and had not been a quarter of an hour about the place before he declared his intention to go and seek her.
'Do no such thing, Will; pray do not,' said his sister.
'And why not?'
'Because it will be better that you should wait. You will only injure yourself and her by being impetuous.'
'But it is absolutely necessary that she should know her own position. It would be cruelty to keep her in ignorance though for the matter of that I shall be ashamed to tell her. Yes I shall be ashamed to look her in the face. What will she think of it after I had assured her that she should have the whole?'
'But she would not have taken it, Will. And had she done so, she would have been very wrong. Now she will be comfortable.'
'I wish I could be comfortable,' said he.
'If you will only wait'
'I hate waiting. I do not see what good it will do. Besides, I don't mean to say anything about that not today, at least. I don t indeed. As for being here and not seeing her, that is out of the question. Of course she would think that I had quarrelled with her, and that I meant to take everything to myself, now that I have the power.'
'She won't suspect you of wishing to quarrel with her, Will'
'I should in her place. It is out of the question that I should be here, and not go to her. It would be monstrous. I will wait till they have done lunch, and then I will go up.'
It was at last decided that he should walk up to the cottage, call upon Colonel Askerton, and ask to see Clara in the colonel's presence. It was thought that he could make his statement about the money better before a third person who could be regarded as Clara's friend, than could possibly be done between themselves. He did, therefore, walk across to the cottage, and was shown into Colonel Askerton's study.
'There he is,' Mrs Askerton said, as soon as she heard the sound of the bell. 'I knew that he would come at once.'
During the whole morning Mrs Askerton had been insisting that Belton would make his appearance on that very day the day of his arrival at Belton, and Clara had been asserting that he would not do so.
'Why should he come?' Clara had said.
'Simply to take you to his own house, like any other of his goods and chattels.'
'I am not his goods or his chattels.'
'But you soon will be; and why shouldn't you accept your lot quietly? He is Belton of Belton, and everything here belongs to him.'
'I do not belong to him.'
'What nonsense! When a man has the command of the situation, as he has, he can do just what he pleases. If he were to come and carry you off by violence, I have no doubt the Beltonians would assist him, and say that he was right. And you of course would forgive him. Belton of Belton may do anything.'
'That is nonsense, if you please.'
'Indeed if you had any of that decent feeling of feminine inferiority which ought to belong to all women, he would have found you sitting on the doorstep of his house waiting for him.'
That had been said early in the morning, when they first knew that he had arrived; but they had been talking about him ever since talking about him under pressure from Mrs Askerton, till Clara had been driven to long that she might be spared. 'If he chooses to come, he will come,' she said. 'Of course he will come,' Mrs Askerton had answered, and then they heard the ring of the hell. 'There he is. I could swear to the sound of his foot. Doesn't he step as though he were Belton of Belton, and conscious that everything belonged to him?' Then there was a pause. 'He has been shown in to Colonel Askerton. What on earth could he want with him?'
'He has called to tell him something about the cottage,' said Clara, endeavouring to speak as though she were calm through it all.
'Cottage! Fiddlestick! The idea of a man coming to look after his trumpery cottage on the first day of his showing himself as lord of his own property! Perhaps he is demanding that you shall be delivered up to him. If he does I shall vote for obeying.'
'And I for disobeying and shall vote very strongly too.'
Their suspense was yet prolonged for another ten minutes, and at the end of that time the servant came in and asked if Miss Amedroz would be good enough to go into the master's room. 'Mr Belton is there, Fanny?' asked Mrs Askerton. The girl confessed that Mr Belton was there, and then Clara, without another word, got up and left the room. She had much to do in assuming a look of composure before she opened the door; but she made the effort, and was not unsuccessful. In another second she found her hand in her cousin's, and his bright eye was fixed upon her with that eager friendly glance which made his face so pleasant to those whom he loved.
'Your cousin has been telling me of the arrangements he has been making for you with the lawyers,' said Colonel Askerton. 'I can only say that I wish all the ladies had cousins so liberal, and so able to be liberal.'
'I thought I would see Colonel Askerton first, as you are staying at his house. And as for liberality there is nothing of the kind. You must understand, Clara, that a fellow can't do what he likes with his own in this country. I have found myself so bullied by lawyers and that sort of people, that I have been obliged to yield to them. I wanted that you should have the old place, to do just what you pleased with It.'
'That was out of the question, Will.'
'Of course it was,' said Colonel Askerton. Then, as Belton himself did not proceed to the telling of his own story, the colonel told it for him, and explained what was the income which Clara was to receive.
'But that is as much out of the question,' said she, 'as the other. I cannot rob you in that way. I cannot and I shall not. And why should I? What do I want with an income? Something I ought to have, if only for the credit of the family, and that I am willing to take from your kindness; but'
'It's all settled now, Clara.'
'I don't think that you can lessen the weight of your obligation, Miss Amedroz, after what has been done up in London,' said the colonel.
'If you had said a hundred a year'
'I have been allowed to say nothing,' said Belton; 'those people have said eight and so it is settled. When are you coming over to see Mary?'
To this question he got no definite answer, and as he went away immediately afterwards he hardly seemed to expect one. He did not even ask for Mrs Askerton, and as that lady remarked, behaved altogether like a bear. 'But what a munificent bear!' she said. 'Fancy eight hundred a year of your own. One begins to doubt whether it is worth one's while to marry at all with such an income as that to do what one likes with! However, it all means nothing. It will all be his own again before you have even touched it.'
'You must not say anything more about that,' said Clara gravely.
'And why must I not?'
'Because I shall hear nothing more of it. There is an end of all that as there ought to be.'
'Why an end? I don't see an end. There will be no end till Belton of Belton has got you and your eight hundred a year as well as everything else.'
'You will find that he does not mean anything more,' said Clara.
'You think not?'
'I am sure of it.' Then there was a little sound in her throat as though she were in some danger of being choked; but she soon recovered herself, and was able to express herself clearly. 'I have only one favour to ask you now, Mrs Askerton, and that is that you will never say anything more about him. He has changed his mind. Of course he has, or he would not come here like that and have gone away without saying a word.'
'Not a word! A man gives you eight hundred a year and that is not saying a word!'
'Not a word except about money! But of course he is right. I know that he is right. Alter what has passed he would be very wrong to to think about it any more. You joke about his being Belton of Belton. But it does make a difference.'
'It does does it?'
'It has made a difference. I see and feel it now. I shall never hear him ask me that question any more.'
'And if you did hear him, what answer would you make him?'
'I don't know.'
'That is just it. Women are so cross-grained that it is a wonder to me that men should ever have any. thing to do with them. They have about them some madness of a phantasy which they dignify with the name of feminine pride, and under the cloak of this they believe themselves to be justified in tormenting their lovers' lives out. The only consolation is that they torment themselves as much. Can anything be more cross-grained than you are at this moment? You were resolved just now that it would be the most unbecoming thing in the world if he spoke a word more about his love for the next twelve months'
'Mrs Askerton, I said nothing about twelve months.'
'And now you are broken-hearted because he did not blurt it all out before Colonel Askerton in a business interview, which was very properly had at once, and in which he has had the exceeding good taste to confine himself altogether to the one subject.'
'I am not complaining.'
'It was good taste; though if he had not been a bear he might have asked after me, who am fighting his battles for him night and day.'
'But what will he do next?'
'Eat his dinner, I should think, as it is now nearly five o'clock. Your father used always to dine at five.'
'I can't go to see Mary,' she said, 'till he comes here again.'
'He will be here fast enough. I shouldn't wonder if he was to come here tonight.' And he did come again that night.
When Belton's interview was over in the colonel's study, he left the house without even asking after the mistress, as that mistress had taken care to find out and went off, rambling about the estate which was now his own. It was a beautiful place, and he was not insensible to the gratification of being its owner. There is much in the glory of ownership of the ownership of land and houses, of beeves and woolly flocks, of wide fields and thick-growing woods, even when that ownership is of late date, when it conveys to the owner nothing but the realization of a property on the soil; but there is much more in it when it contains the memories of old years; when the glory is the glory of race as well as the glory of power and property. There had been Beltons of Belton living there for many centuries, and now he was the Belton of the day, standing on his own ground the descendant and representative of the Beltons of old Belton of Belton without a flaw in his pedigree! He felt himself to be proud of his position prouder than he could have been of any other that might have been vouchsafed to him. And yet amidst it all he was somewhat ashamed of his pride. 'The man who can do it for himself is the real man after all,' he said. 'But I have got it by a fluke and by such a sad chance too!' Then he wandered on, thinking of the circumstances under which the property had fallen into his hands, and remembering how and when and where the first idea had occurred to him of making Clara Amedroz his wife. He had then felt that if he could only do that he could reconcile himself to the heirship. And the idea had grown upon him instantly, and had become a passion by the eagerness with which he had welcomed it. From that day to this he had continued to tell himself that he could not enjoy his good fortune unless he could enjoy it with her. There had come to be a horrid impediment in his way a barrier which had seemed to have been placed there by his evil fortune, to compensate the gifts given to him by his good fortune, and that barrier had been Captain Aylmer. He had not, in fact, seen much of his rival, but he had seen enough to make it matter of wonder to him that Clara could be attached to such a man. He had thoroughly despised Captain Aylmer, and had longed to show his contempt of the man by kicking him out of the hotel at the London railway station. At that moment all the world had seemed to him to be wrong and wretched.
But now it seemed that all the world might so easily be made right again! The impediment had got itself removed. Belton did not even yet altogether comprehend by what means Clara had escaped from the meshes of the Aylmer Park people, but he did know that she had escaped. Her eyes had been opened before it was too late, and she was a free woman to be compassed if only a man might compass her. While she had been engaged to Captain Aylmer, Will had felt that she was not assailable. Though he had not been quite able to restrain himself as on that fatal occasion when he had taken her in his arms and kissed her still he had known that as she was an engaged woman, he could not, without insulting her, press his own suit upon her. But now all that was over. Let him say what he liked on that head, she would have no proper plea for anger. She was assailable and, as this was so, why the mischief should he not set about the work at once? His sister bade him wait. Why should he wait when one fortunate word might do it? Wait! He could not wait. How are you to bid a starving man to wait when you put him down at a well-covered board? Here was he, walking about Belton Park just where she used to walk with him and there was she at Belton Cottage, within half an hour of him at this moment, if he were to go quickly; and yet Mary was telling him to wait! No; he would not wait. There could be no reason for waiting. Wait, indeed, till some other Captain Aylmer should come in the way and give him more trouble!
So he wandered on, resolving that he would see his cousin again that very day. Such an interview as that which had just taken place between two such dear friends was not natural was not to be endured. What might not Clara think of it! To meet her for the first time after her escape from Aylmer Park, and to speak to her only on matters concerning money! He would certainly go to her again on that afternoon. In his walking he came to the bottom of the rising ground on the top of which stood the rock on which he and Clara had twice sat. But he turned away, and would not go up to it. He hoped that he might go up to it very soon but, except under certain dream. stances, he would never go up to it again.
'I am going across to the cottage immediately after dinner,' he said to his sister.
'Have you an appointment?'
'No; I have no appointment. I suppose a man doesn't want an appointment to go and see his own cousin down in the country.'
'I don't know what their habits are.'
'I shan't ask to go in; but I want to see her.'
Mary looked at him with loving, sorrowing eyes, but she said no more. She loved him so well that she would have given her right hand to get for him what he wanted but she sorrowed to think that he should want such a thing so sorely. Immediately after his dinner, he took his hat and went out without saying a word further, and made his way once more across to the gate of the cottage. It was a lovely summer evening, at that period of the year in which our summer evenings just begin, when the air is sweeter and the flowers more fragrant, and the forms of the foliage more lovely than at any other time. it was now eight o'clock, but it was hardly as yet evening; none at least of the gloom of evening had come, though the sun was low in the heavens. At the cottage they were all sitting out on the lawn; and as Belton came near he was seen by them, and he saw them.
'I told you so,' said Mrs Askerton, to Clara, in a whisper.
'He is not coming in,' Clara answered. 'He is going on.'
But when he had come nearer, Colonel Askerton called to him over the garden paling, and asked him to join them. He was now standing within ten or fifteen yards of them, though the fence divided them. 'I have come to ask my Cousin Clara to take a walk with me,' he said. 'She can be back by your tea time.' He made his request very placidly, and did not in any way look like a lover.
'I am sure she will be glad to go,' said Mrs Askerton. But Clara said nothing.
'Do take a turn with me, if you are not tired,' said he.
'She has not been out all day, and cannot be tired,' said Mrs Askerton, who had now walked up to the paling. 'Clara, get your hat. But, Mr Belton, what have I done that I am to be treated in this way? Perhaps you don't remember that you have not spoken to me since your arrival.'
'Upon my word, I beg your pardon,' said he, endeavouring to stretch his hand across the bushes.
'I forgot I didn't see you this morning.'
'I suppose I musn't be angry, as this is your day of taking possession; but it is exactly on such days as this that one likes to be remembered.'
'I didn't mean to forget you, Mrs Askerton; I didn't, indeed. And as for the special day, that's all bosh, you know. I haven't taken particular possession of anything that I know of.'
'I hope you will, Mr Belton, before the day is over,' said she. Clara had at length arisen, and had gone into the house to fetch her hat. She had not spoken a word, and even yet her cousin did not know whether she was coming. 'I hope you will take possession of a great deal that is very valuable. Clara has gone to get her hat.'
'Do you think she means to walk?'
'I think she does, Mr Belton. And there she is at the door. Mind you bring her back to tea.'
Clara, as she came forth, felt herself quite unable to speak, or walk, or look after her usual manner. She knew herself to be a victim to be so far a victim that she could no longer control her own fate. To Captain Aylmer, at any rate, she had never succumbed. In all her dealings with him she had fought upon an equal footing. She had never been compelled to own herself mastered. But now she was being led out that she might confess her own submission, and acknowledge that hitherto she had not known what was good for her. She knew that she would have to yield. She must have known how happy she was to have an opportunity of yielding; but yet yet, had there been any room for choice, she thought she would have refrained from walking with her cousin that evening. She had wept that afternoon because she had thought that he would not come again; and now that he had come at the first moment that was possible for him, she was almost tempted to wish him once more away.
'I suppose you understand that when I came up this morning I came merely to talk about business,' said Belton, as soon as they were off together.
'It was very good of you to come at all so soon after your arrival.'
'I told those people in London that I would have it all settled at once, and so I wanted to have it off my mind.'
'I don't know what I ought to say to you. Of course I shall not want so much money as that.'
'We won't talk about the money any more today. I hate talking about money.'
'It is not the pleasantest subject in the world.'
'No,' said he; 'no indeed. I hate it particularly between friends. So you have come to grief with your friends, the Aylmers?'
'I hope I haven't come to grief and the Aylmers, as a family, never were my friends. I'm obliged to contradict you, point by point you see.'
'I don't like Captain Aylmer at all,' said Will, after a pause.
'So I saw, Will; and I dare say he was not very fond of you.' 'Fond of me! I didn't want him to be fond of me. I don't suppose he ever thought much about me. I could not help thinking of him.' She had nothing to say to this, and therefore walked on silently by his side. 'I suppose he has not any idea of coming back here again?'
'What; to Belton? No, I do not think he will come to Belton any more.'
'Nor will you go to Aylmer Park?'
'No; certainly not. Of all the places on earth. Will, to which you could send me, Aylmer Park is the one to which I should go most unwillingly.'
'I don't want to send you there.'
'You never could be made to understand what a woman she is; how disagreeable, how cruel, how imperious, how insolent.'
'Was she so bad as all that?'
'Indeed she was, Will. I can't but tell the truth to you.
'And he was nearly as bad as she.'
'No, Will; no; do not say that of him.'
'He was such a quarrelsome fellow. He flew at me just because I said we had good hunting down in Norfolk.'
'We need not talk about all that, Will.'
'No of course not. It's all passed and gone, I suppose.'
'Yes it is all passed and gone. You did not know my Aunt Winterfield, or you would understand my first reason for liking him.'
'No,' said Will; 'I never saw her.'
Then they walked on together for a while without speaking, and Clara was beginning to feel some relief some relief at first; but as the relief came, there came back to her the dead, dull, feeling of heaviness at her heart which had oppressed her after his visit in the morning. She had been right, and Mrs Askerton had been wrong. He had returned to her simply as her cousin, and now he was walking with her and talking to her in this strain, to teach her that it was so. But of a sudden they came to a place where two paths diverged, and he turned upon her and asked her quickly which path they should take. 'Look, Clara,' he said, 'will you go up there with me?' It did not need that she should look, as she knew that the way indicated by him led up among the rocks.
'I don't much care which way,' she said, faintly.
'Do you not? But I do. I care very much. Don't you remember where that path goes?' She had no answer to give to this. She remembered well, and remembered how he had protested that he would never go to the place again unless he could go there as her accepted lover. And she had asked herself sundry questions as to that protestation. Could it be that for her sake he would abstain from visiting the prettiest spot on his estate that he would continue to regard the ground as hallowed because of his memories of her? 'Which way shall we go?' he asked.
'I suppose it does not much signify,' said she, trembling.
'But it does signify. It signifies very much to me. Will you go up to the rocks?'
'I am afraid we shall be late, if we stay out long.'
'What matters how late? Will you come?'
'I suppose so if you wish it, Will.'
She had anticipated that the high rock was to be the altar at which the victim was to be sacrificed; but now he would not wait till he had taken her to the sacred spot. He had of course intended that he would there renew his offer; but he had perceived that his offer had been renewed, and had, in fact, been accepted, during this little parley as to the pathway. There was hardly any necessity for further words. So he must have thought; for, as quick as lightning, he flung his arms around her, and kissed her again, as he had kissed her on that other terrible occasion that occasion on which he had felt that he might hardly hope for pardon.
'William, William,' she said; 'how can you serve me like that?' But he had a full understanding as to his own privileges, and was well aware that he was in the right now, as he had been before that he was trespassing egregiously. 'Why are you so rough with me?' she said.
'Clara, say that you love me.'
'I will say nothing to you because you are so rough.' They were now walking up slowly towards the rocks.
And as he had his arm round her waist, he was contented for awhile to allow her to walk without speaking. But when they were on the summit it was necessary for him that he should have a word from her of positive assurance. 'Clara, say that you love me.'
'Have I not always loved you, Will, since almost the first moment that I saw you?'
'But that won't do. You know that is not fair. Come, Clara; I've had a deal of trouble and grief too; haven't I? You should say a word to make up for it that is, if you can say it.'
'What can a word like that signify to you today? You have got everything.'
'Have I got you?' Still she paused. 'I will have an answer. Have I got you? Are you now my own?'
'I suppose so, Will. Don't now. I will not have it again. Does not that satisfy you?'
'Tell me that you love me.'
'You know that I love you.'
'Better than anybody in the world?'
'Yes better than anybody in the world.'
'And after all you will be my wife?'
'Oh, Will how you question one!'
'You shall say it, and then it will all be fair and honest.'
'Say what? I'm sure I thought I had said everything.'
'Say that you mean to be my wife.'
'I suppose so if you wish it.'
'Wish it!' said he, getting up from his seat, and throwing his hat into the bushes on one side; 'wish it! I don't think you have ever understood howl have wished it. Look here, Clara; I found when I got down to Norfolk that I couldn't live without you. Upon my word it is true. I don't suppose you'll believe me.'
'I didn't think it could be so bad with you as that.'
'No I don't suppose women ever do believe. And I wouldn't have believed it of myself. I hated myself for it. By George, I did. That is when I began to think it was all up with me.'
'All up with you! Oh, Will!'
'I had quite made up my mind to go to New Zealand. I had, indeed. I couldn't have kept my hands off that man if we had been living in the same country. I should have wrung his neck.'
'Will, how can you talk so wickedly?'
'There's no understanding it till you have felt it. But never mind. It's all right now; isn't it, Clara?'
'If you think so.'
'Think so! Oh, Clara, I am such a happy fellow. Do give me a kiss. You have never given me one kiss yet.'
'What nonsense! I didn't think you were such a baby.'
'By George, but you shall or you shall never get home to tea to-night. My own, own, own darling. Upon my word, Clara, when I begin to think about it I shall be half mad.'
'I think you are quite that already.'
'No, I'm not but I shall be when I'm alone. What can I say to you, Clara, to make you under. stand how much I love you? You remember the song, "For Bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me down and dee". Of course it is all nonsense talking of dying for a woman. What a man has to do is to live for her. But that is my feeling. I'm ready to give you my life. If there was anything to do for you, I'd do it if I could, whatever it was. Do you understand me?'
'Dear Will! Dearest Will!'
'Am I dearest?'
'Are you not sure of it?'
'But I like you to tell me so. I like to feel that you are not ashamed to own it. You ought to say it a few times to me, as I have said it so very often to you.'
'You'll hear enough of it before you've done with me.'
'I shall never have heard enough of it. Oh, Heavens, only think, when I was coming down in the train last night I was in such a bad way.'
'And are you in a good way now?'
'Yes; in a very good way. I shall crow over Mary so when I get home.'
'And what has poor Mary done?'
'Never mind.'
'I dare say she knows what is good for you better than you know yourself. I suppose she has told you that you might do a great deal better than trouble yourself with a wife?'
'Never mind what she has told me. It is settled now is it not?
'I hope so, Will.'
'But not quite settled as yet. When shall it be? That is the next question.'
But to that question Clara positively refused to make any reply that her lover would consider to be satisfactory. He continued to press her till she was at last driven to remind him how very short a time it was since her father had been among them; and then he was very angry with himself, and declared himself to be a brute. 'Anything but that,' she said. 'You are the kindest and the best of men but at the same time the most impatient.'
'That's what Mary says; but what's the good of waiting? She wanted me to wait today.'
'And as you would not, you have fallen into a trap out of which you can never escape. But pray let us go. What will they think of us?'
'I shouldn't wonder if they didn't think something near the truth.'
'Whatever they think, we will go back. It is ever so much past nine.'
'Before you stir, Clara, tell me one thing. Are you really happy?'
'Very happy.'
'And are you glad that this has been done?'
'Very glad. Will that satisfy you?'
'And you do love me?'
'I do I do I do. Can I say more than that?
'More than anybody else in the world?'
'Better than all the world put together.'
'Then,' said he, holding her tight in his arms, 'show me that you love me.' And as he made his request he was quick to explain to her what, according to his ideas, was the becoming mode by which lovers might show their love. I wonder whether it ever occurred to Clara, as she thought of it all before she went to bed that night, that Captain Aylmer and William Belton were very different in their manners. And if so, I must wonder further whether she most approved the manners of the patient man or the man who was impatient.
Sorry, no summary available yet.

Has there been any unusual curvature?
You may be describing superficial thrombophlebitis of the penis (an uncommon disease known as Mondor's disease). This is an inflammatory reaction to a clot within the vein. This subsequently causes blockages and dilation of the vein. It is typically painless, but can be painful.
Diagnosis is via ultrasound which shows blockage of the vessels. Treatment is with anti-inflammatories (i.e. aspirin or ibuprofen) and most resolve within 4-6 weeks. If it persists, then surgery may be necessary.
I would definitely have your husband follow up with his Physician.

I primarily use my phone for grown up things. Keeping my schedule in order, managing my digital presence and job related tasks are taken care of by my G1 on the go. Sometimes though I just like to have a little fun. These apps always make me laugh when i feel like goofing off.
Chuck Norris Facts
These hilarious "facts" swept the web a couple of years ago and are still hilarious to me. Fire up this great simple app for a quick laugh.
Mario Simulator
Who didn't love the Super Mario Brothers as a kid? This app lets you feel like the man himself. You have the option to play the theme music and different actions activate the different effects: jump, coin and fire flower sounds. I highly recommend acting out your own levels.
FartDroid Fart Machine Wear
I don't care how old you are, farts are funny. If you don't think so then we probably shouldn't be friends. The app comes with a ridiculous selection of sounds plus a timer for some good old fashioned fun.
PAC-MAN by Namco
PAC-MAN is a childhood classic regardless of if you were born in 1960 or 1990. The Namco folks ported the game perfectly to Android, including all the levels, fruit, ghosts and frustration.

July - August 2005
New DLESE instructional plans, known as Teaching Boxes,
use innovative approaches to science classes.
a workshop at UCAR, Lisé Whitfield (left) works with
Phil Staoffer of the U.S. Geological Service and
Bill McMillon of Tomales High School to create a
Teaching Box on ocean science.
In 23 years of teaching, Peg Dabel has never seen middle school students as excited as when she used a Web-based lesson plan that she and other teachers developed with the DLESE Program Center (DPC) and several other organizations.
"The kids really wanted to come to class," says the California teacher. "They were delighted. It made the topic come alive for them."
Peg is one of more than a dozen teachers in the San Francisco Bay area who is working on an innovative series of lesson plans, known as Teaching Boxes. The group met at UCAR in June to create four new Teaching Boxes, in addition to two that were developed last year. These latest boxes will be presented this fall at a California Science Teachers Association conference and uploaded into DLESE for use by teachers in every state, potentially becoming a valuable tool for motivating students.
Teaching Boxes incorporate interactive Web pages, simulations, classroom activities, and scientific animations to spark students' interest while teaching them about such science topics as plate tectonics and sea level change. For example, students might go to a Web page that lets them try to design a bridge that won't be toppled in an earthquake or click on an animation that illustrates the uplift of mountains.
The boxes are based on California and national science education standards.
In addition to the DPC, collaborators on the Teaching Boxes project include CU, the University of California Museum of Paleontology, the U.S. Geological Survey, San Francisco State University, and several San Francisco Bay Area school districts.
"This is an important service we can provide to educators who don't necessarily have time to go through DLESE's collections on their own," explains DPC director Mary Marlino.
She adds that Teaching Boxes provide a "one-stop shop" containing learning goals, library resources, and activities organized around topics important to Earth system science education. The boxes direct teachers to specific Web sites that educators and scientists have vetted, and they also provide lesson plans that explain how to incorporate the sites and other resources into a classroom setting.
DPC's Shelley Olds is helping to coordinate the project with Judy Scotchmoor, assistant director of the University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley. Other DPC staffers working on Teaching Boxes include Lynne Davis and Holly Devaul, as well as Huda Khan and Keith Maul, who are graduate students in CU's computer science department.
The DPC launched the Teaching Boxes project last year as a pilot program with help from an NSF grant. Peg and several other teachers tested it in their classrooms, where the Teaching Boxes won rave reviews from students.
Inquiry-based method
To create Teaching Boxes, teachers work with DPC staffers, scientists, and education experts to develop a set of learning concepts for students and track down reputable science Web sites that support the learning of those concepts. They then draw up lesson plans that pose provocative questions to students while directing them to the Web sites as well as to print materials.
The lesson plans emphasize an inquiry-based teaching method. This means that the teacher, instead of presenting students with a series of accepted facts, poses a question and invites students to conduct their own research to answer it. Rather than tell students about the evidence for plate tectonics, for example, a teacher may ask students to look at fossil patterns and explain why fossils in western Africa and eastern South America are so similar.
One way that Peg's students learned about plate tectonics was to visit a Web page each day that recorded tremors over the preceding 24 hours. By mapping these tremors, they uncovered where plates strike each other. They were so engrossed that they continued to map the tremors even after the class moved on to other topics.
"The kids became very engaged in solving a problem," Peg says. "They were like little detectives."
During the June meeting at UCAR, several teachers praised Teaching Boxes for giving them an important tool to engage students. "This is building an approach where the students will find the answer," said Lisé Whitfield, a high school teacher who was working to create a lesson plan on ocean science. "They'll learn better."
Shelley says an important test is whether teachers in other regions of the country are able to adapt Teaching Boxes and make them relevant to their students. While earthquakes may engage schoolchildren in California, students in the Southeast may be more fascinated by hurricanes. "We've tried to have each Teaching Box designed in a way that is transportable," Shelley explains. "We want Teaching Boxes to enrich science education across the nation."

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Hi from Just Answer. What a great question. My take on the answer will personalize the pursuit, which you can customize for your strengths.
First, decide what your strengths are. Building an empire you control requires several character traits and the money to make it happen.
Most business tycoons I know were driven to succeed, and would have been successful in any endeavor. They saw their goal early on, and made decisions that targeted that dream.
One example is real estate. more people become wealthy in this country in real estate than any other industry. It requires some money and creditworthiness, but anyone can learn the part of the business they want to be in (own and rent homes, rehabilitate property, own commercial real estate, etc.). You have to make a personal investment in time and training to learn the business and begin to acquire your properties. The best training is to take employment with a leader in the aspect of real estate you want to know about, and learn what made that person successful. Copying what successful people do is the easiest way to learn what to do to be successful.
Some people like to be investors, to build their wealth that way. It's not my favorite, since so much of the growth of those investments is outside of your control. An investment in Microsoft thirty years ago would have made you a fortune, but picking just that would have been very lucky. You must have other skills, like personal drive and likely a good financial education to understand the investments and make good choices.
Some prefer to get professional level education, to invest in themselves. While there are still self-made tycoons, especially in real estate, it will be hard to participate in wealth building without education. Doctors, attorneys, financial businesspeople, all invested in an education. Consider investing in the best education you can.
Study the lives of notable tycoons. Warren Buffett in investments. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos in technology empires. Donald Trump (he inherited much of his wealth, but learning about the rise and fall of real estate values and how to survive is mandatory for real estate pros. These people did not just grow their own wealth, but learned the value of investments by others. Warren Buffett, for example, assembled investors and retained an ownership stake with no money of his own.
Lastly, I would learn the people skills you will need. Most wealth building requires learning how to treat people, and how to retain your focus on your goals. The rest is a mix of determination and learned skills, and a choice of businesses to enter.
You might consider reading the Wikipedia life synopsis of George Steinbrenner, who was known for his ownership of the NY Yankees baseball team. He built his wealth through purchase of his family's shipbuilding business (with other investors) and parlayed that into real American tycoon status. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Steinbrenner is the link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Prokhorov is the link to a Russian tycoon story, New Jersey nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov. His story is notable in that he made the correct decision each time with his wealth. I also like the Mark Cuban story. His wealth building came in technology, but his story is notable because he did not fall in love with his assets, and sold when the price was right.
Thanks for asking your question at Just Answer. I hope this unconventional answer makes sense, and guides toward your own empire building. I'm PDtax.

Cats do sleep sometimes!! Sounds mouse like, or worse rat like - I suppose as in the greenhouse unlikely to my immediate suspects, pigeons. I wonder if there are large beetles that like to do thse things? I still suspect mouses, in spite of the cats.
They are quite close together too and look a bit dry? Bamboo likes water, and space, depending upon the type. Indeed they are preparing to put out new leaves, give them time, they should recover.
It may also be less full on your side if the sun comes at a different angle from that of your neighbour. Indeed, prune hard later on when nesting is over, feed, feed and then water, water and then leave alone for a year or so - if it can recover, it will. A year of lack of attention won't do a decent privet much harm at all - if it looks tatty now, it has suffered longer than that - but can be imporved.
My neighbour has a lovely red rose that fills our side of the fence with lovely flowers, but not his, mine faces south, his, therefore, north - so of course I get the flowers. We have installed a fence with spaces between the lathes, this has improved matters no end for him, besides breaking up the wind instead of just causing it to swirl round damagaing everything.
I think it is pushing it a bit, but both of those are fairly small so may well be OK. Give them plenty of shade at thr roots and plenty of organic material to toot into. Don't forget they are greedy plants and need plenty of feeding. Don't forget Allonushka does not get very tall, so might struggle covering alot of space, but of course you may not have alot of space to cover. Both lovely, enjoy.
It could be a virus, it could also be cold damage. Some of mine came up looking like a concertina, as if they had to struggle out of the ground - definitly cold damage - maybe this is too? I know of tulip virus but have not come across one that attacks daffodils as well, tho' I guess that is possible. Grow many different kinds here, some have stripey leaves like that, and seem to be fine - someone else may know more.
Fairygirl, I bought some acrylic mirror type tiles in Ikea for a very small price, they ae slightly faceted so the birds avoid them (no, I don't understand it, but it is so) and they give wonderful broken light effect patches where it is normally dark. Come t think of it, I must get them out of the shed and hang them up - I put them away when it is very cold as I suspect that they are not very hardy, just a coating of silver paint on plastic, but they are great draped in various growth !!
Now - 32 is not something with which I wish to become aquainted!! Plus 32 now that is a different matter!! Gardening where you are must be quite a challenge, but of course we gardeners are always up fpr a challenge. Last year here it was all about low light conditions, persistent rain and general yuckiness. Today it is bright and pretty but with a gentle gale blowing - I say gentle because although the wind in strong, so far no branches have fallen on to the grass that I would like to claim is a lawn, but I'd get sued under the trade descriptions act if I did. This means I shall have to go out later on and pick the daffodils/narcissi that have been blown over. I rarely pick flowers from the garden, but blown over daffs I always do - they're not going to get better, so we may s well enjoy them indoors for a few days.
happy gardening this year, as with all years we haven't had yet, this will be a brilliant one !
Oh dear, it was indeed rare in those times to get such low temperatures, but in the winter of 2010 - 11 we had -17 in our garden. To my surprise nearlyeverything survived , probaly because they had a good layer of snow upon them which might have orotected them? There were of course some losses. This year I woud think -10 was our lowest, and not for long.
You are right, but there is a seed sowing one as well as 1, 2, and 3 - I have used that with some sucess the last coule of seasons.
Guess you don't quite live on my doorstep in the East Midlands obelixx, but even so I agree about not giving up early, June does often see some late and unexpected growth - but not last year when it had all drowned or gone lanky from lack of light - better things this year huh?

This article originally appeared in the July 2008 edition of Drum Corps World (Volume 37, Number4).
The Northern Star Group was formed around its prime activity, one of the U.K.'s most successful junior drum and bugle corps', which started in 1993 from the Boys Brigade, a national uniformed youth group. Subsequently, the organization shifted to being independent.
Since then, the D&BC has gone from strength to strength, winning four consecutive national titles through 2007 in the British Youth Band Association, the U.K.'s premier marching arts association. Also, in recent years it has been nipping at the heels of units in mainland Europe in both Drum Corps Netherlands (DCN) and Drum Corps Europe championships.
In fact, Northern Star was the first U.K. unit to make a significant impact on the European scene, which has encouraged mainland units to raise their game in recent years, taking note of the subsequent invasion of British units demonstrating innovation and creativity underpinned by fast-moving drill, the latter being mostly absent from Europe routines until 2007.
NSG's newly appointed strategic development director, Paul Cartwright (former percussionist) said, "Over the fall and winter of 07-08, management at the Northern Star Group has significantly changed moving the organisation into new environments and challenging existing staff and members with new performance opportunities. This can only be a good thing for Northern Star and the U.K. activity as a whole."
Lee Brogan remains as Chair, with Mark Pickles (Crossmen 1994, Spirit of Atlanta 1996) at his right hand, now as executive director, and the powerhouse behind the recent transformation in performance at Star.
The Brogan/Pickles combo is now supported by Mark Nicholson as vice chair and design coordinator. Nicholson comes to NSG with 25 years experience in the marching arts movement as a corps director, guard director, designer and judge. He is also a member of BYBA's National Council.
Paul Cartwright brings over 30 years of professional and voluntary youth music experience to the team. He is the former chair and joint corps director for Magic D&BC (U.K.), a judge for BYBA, DCE and the London New Year's Day Parade, and he is also a member of BYBA's Council.
Deborah Haw assumes the role of finance director and remains a marching member on mellophone, whilst Maria Bolton, a former marching member in the horn line, takes up the new role of logistics director, which oversees all the support functions from camps to catering, plus some administration, welfare and wardrobe management.
NSG knows that recruitment –which hasn't been a real priority — must be tackled in a serious manner and not left to chance. To develop recruitment of performing members into all NSG ensembles and develop partnerships with similar arts organisations and the education sector, Rick Cartwright, a design graduate from Huddersfield University, percussion coordinator and tenor player, has been appointed marketing manager. This will be a critical role in the rebranding and representing NSG locally and regionally, with experience being drawn from his professional life with one of the U.K.'s leading architects and interior design practices, careyjones architects, based in Leeds and London.
Northern Star takes centre stage
The Northern Star Group is pleased to announce that in recent months, a new portfolio of ensembles has been created, each with a separate focus, some dedicated new members and their own respective director. Pickles said, "I've had the vision for a number of years that Northern Star would develop into something more than a competitive drum and bugle corps and 2008 sees the start of our expansion plans into these new areas. I'm really excited about the opportunities and proud of our talented performers and staff."
The management executive is pleased to announce three appointments; Pickles continues as summer corps director and junior corps director; Andy Cartwright (Carolina Crown 2001 soprano section leader) has been appointed big band musical director; whilst Star's own frontline member, Phillip Hargreaves, is director for the "Off the Beat" stage show.
The summer corps is further boosted by the appointment of Mark Bolton as brass coordinator, with over 20 years experience working with units across the north and midlands, and Ian Kirk (Madison guard 1989) has been appointed visual designer and guard coordinator.
'High School Drum Corps' part one.
Late February saw the NSG truck roll into Rodillian High School, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, for what was to be the first of series of recruitment events within a campaign to broaden the appeal of drum corps in Great Britain.
Around 80 young people experienced Northern Star hands-on and at the end of the day, the enthusiasm in the 'show and tell' was tremendous.
Rick Cartwright said, "The success of the pilot Workshop gives us a template for future road shows and we already have a number of music teachers in the West Yorkshire schools excited about bringing the Northern Star experience to their school!"
'Off the Beat' hits the right note!
Aside from bread and butter activities like drum corps, the Northern Star Group's very first theatre product hit the right note when it teamed up with Leeds University for "Off the Beat", an innovative percussion, dance and guard two-night production right in the heart of Leeds city centre.
Written and directed by frontline member Phill Hargreaves, the 18-strong energetic cast was put through their paces, following 10 months of planning. Hargreaves is studying at the University of Leeds, School of Performance and Cultural Industries, for a degree in Managing Performance.
The project, which will repeated this fall with additions to the cast, was funded by "Stage@leeds Unmasked Festive" and saw parts of the ensemble initially rehearse separately, then coming together to form the full cast. Hargreaves' hard work not only delivered some great creative and artistic scenes of music, dance and comedy, he said he had to ". . . put together a crew of stage managers and assistants, whilst finding a set and lighting designer, stage hands and a choreographer, all of which was a challenge".
The cast was a collaboration of six percussionists and six colour guard from Northern Star, plus six dancers from Leeds University, all of whom auditioned. This was a true partnership.
A very enthusiastic audience on both nights was treated to a tremendously entertaining show which flowed from start to finish. Two levels of scaffold scenery formed the backdrop, complete with lighting, back-projected imagery and audio backing tracks, all adding to the professional production values and setting the scene for the exceptional performances which were delivered with energy and excitement.
Aside from a small selection of floor tom drums, most of the instrumentation was far from standard. Anything from wheelie bins to a biffa bin (played from inside), plastic storage drums to school desks, cooking pans, brushes and basket balls were maximised.
Each of the nine acts moved seamlessly, featuring individuals, small ensembles through to the full cast bringing the whole production to a resounding climax, which almost brought the house down on the final night, as the cast engaged with the audience on leaving the stage.
Executive Director Mark Pickles, who attended both nights, said, "I was extremely proud of their achievements. I knew it would be good, but it was much better than I could have ever imagined."
Paul Cartwright went on to say, "For NSG, this is just the beginning of a long and exciting journey in adding structure to the management of the group, whilst broadening the performance opportunities and ensuring the organisation is sustainable long into the future."

San José is poised for a major transformation. Like many cities in the United States, San José witnessed a significant economic and population shift in the eighties and early nineties, as city residents and businesses left San José for the new surrounding suburbs. The city economy suffered, and urban crime rates increased.
City leaders and urban architects worried about this recent downturn and created various incentives to encourage both businesspeople and homeowners to return to the city. They also recommended several city beautification projects and urban improvements. The municipality of San José formed the Committee for the Regeneration and Repopulation of San José. Following the precepts of the Committee, the Institute of Tropical Architecture came up with a plan, San José Posible, to address the architectural, ecological and aesthetic issues facing the "new" San José.
As part of the San José Posible plan, the Institute of Tropical Architecture proposed closing off several of San José's congested streets to form outdoor pedestrian areas. The city followed the Institute's suggestion and closed traffic in areas that would then become city pedestrian zones. The first such zone met with great success; its communal outdoor space is free of traffic noise and vehicular congestion and is a pleasant place for pedestrians to stroll.
The Institute also hopes to promote and encourage the construction of multi-use buildings that incorporate commercial space, parking, residential units and plenty of outdoor garden space. San José Posible hearkens back to a time in San José's history when the city streets were tree-lined and quiet, and businesses and residences coexisted in urban tranquility.
The Sleep Inn San José Downtown has been a leader among the businesses hoping to restore and reinvigorate San José. When the Sleep Inn was first built, there had been no new hotel in the central downtown area for fourteen years. The mayor of San José praised the Sleep Inn for its strong show of faith in the economic future of the city. Recently, the Sleep Inn has undertaken several projects to contribute to the beautification and improvement of the downtown area.

By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY
A Las Vegas cocktail waitress said Wednesday she was offered money to recant allegations that a Republican congressman running for Nevada governor assaulted and propositioned her.
Less than two weeks before the Nov. 7 election, the alleged bribery attempt that Chrissy Mazzeo, 32, described at a news conference reignited a sex-tinged controversy that Rep. Jim Gibbons says could influence his tight contest with Democratic state Sen. Dina Titus.
Gibbon's lawyer, Don Campbell, later at a news conference called Mazzeo "an exceedingly troubled young woman" with a "troubled past," who was making "wild and reckless allegations."
Gibbons, 61, who is married, has denied the allegations.
Mazzeo, who is raising a 3-year-old daughter alone, made three 911 calls on Oct. 13, then told police that Gibbons grabbed her arms in a parking garage, threw her against a wall and pressured her for sex after drinking with her and four companions in a restaurant. Mazzeo said she cursed Gibbons and ran away.
A police report quotes Gibbons as saying he had grabbed the arm of the woman, who "might have been tipsy," to catch her from tripping and falling as he was helping her find her truck. Police reports say Gibbons and Mazzeo said they had been drinking wine.
The waitress who served the party described the atmosphere as "flirty," a police report says.
Mazzeo told police Oct. 14 she didn't want to "go up against" Gibbons. She declined to press criminal charges but did not retract her allegations.
After accounts of the alleged incident appeared in local news media, Gibbons strongly denied the allegations publicly.
Clark County Sheriff Bill Young, a political supporter of Gibbons, urged voters to consider possible political motivations for the sexual misconduct allegations so close to the election.
Mazzeo's lawyer, Richard Wright, said Wednesday that Gibbons had thrown the woman's credibility into question. "I want all the truth to come out," Mazzeo said.
Wright said a friend of Mazzeo had offered her money to sign a statement for Gibbons saying that nothing untoward had happened.
Wright said he wants the Clark County district attorney's office to conduct an independent investigation. Wright said Mazzeo would cooperate and has offered to take a polygraph test.
Gibbons told the Reno Gazette-Journal Monday that the incident "is going to have an impact on our campaign," but he said he would win.
The most recent public poll, conducted by Zogby International for The Wall Street Journal and released Friday, showed Gibbons leading Titus by 5%. The poll had a margin of error of +/—4 percentage points.
"If the public sees it as a reflection of bad judgment (by Gibbons), it can't help but have an impact on the campaign," Titus told the Reno newspaper Tuesday. "I have not commented, because I think it speaks for itself. It points to bad judgment, regardless of what happened."

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University rifle team readily admits it made last year's improbable run to its nation-best 14th national title difficult.
|At 11-0, the Mountaineers have proven this season that they learned from last year's championships and are ready to bring another trophy back to Morgantown.
WVU Staff photo
The Mountaineers entered the two-day championships as the No. 3 seed, but a dismal smallbore performance plummeted WVU to an unimaginable sixth place through one day of competition. An inspired air rifle lineup, coupled with a "what will be, will be" attitude pushed the Mountaineers to the front of the pack at the conclusion of day two, and after a frenzied, confusing and educational 48 hours, WVU stood on top of the podium in Fort Worth, Texas, hoisting its first NCAA trophy since last winning in 1998.
"I think we are heading into this weekend with more experience than last year," said fourth-year coach Jon Hammond. "They all have been there before. Everyone has worked hard this year, and they are all better shooters now than they were last season.
"With that, their expectations are higher, but also they are more prepared this year to deal with pressure situations. Their maturity level is much better, and that bodes well for us having a successful weekend."
One year after that enlightening championship experience, the No. 1-ranked Mountaineers return to Fort Worth this weekend with their sights set on a smoother repeat performance. Boasting a lineup which features six National Rifle Association (NRA) All-Americans, and brimming with confidence following a perfect 11-0 season, including a first-place finish at the 2010 Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) Championships, WVU appears poised to secure its first back-to-back title since winning four-straight championships from 1995-98.
"It's exciting. I know the team is ready for the championships," Hammond, the 2010 GARC Coach of the Year, explained. "We've had a good week of practice, and now it's just a case of going to Texas, doing our best and getting the job done. We will keep things as normal as possible. This is just another match for us."
Leading the way is fifth-year senior Bryant Wallizer. The Little Orleans, Md., native has been nothing short of the pillar on which the Mountaineers have leaned on during their rebuilding stage these last three seasons. Though this weekend's tournament concludes his brief two-year WVU career, Hammond says Wallizer's leadership and constant desire to improve parallels the Mountaineers' recent success.
"Bryant has meant so much to this program," said Hammond. "He came in with my first recruiting class (in 2007), and I believe that that year was the beginning of the change within this program. He has been the team leader this year. He leads from the front, with his work ethic and expectations. He has been a huge part of the team these last three years, and I'm hoping he can have one last strong match for us."
Wallizer, a 2009 NRA first team air rifle All-American, paces the air rifle lineup this weekend with a team-best 589.92 season average. Though he has fallen short of his personal-best 595 score this year, Wallizer, a transfer from Murray State, has evolved into one of the most-consistent Mountaineer shooters. His smallbore skill has eclipsed his past achievements, as proven by his personal-best 586 score, and the all-GARC air rifle and combined score first team honoree looks to surpass his second-place air rifle showing (691 final score) from one year ago.
"Bryant was really close last year to taking an individual title," said Hammond. "Hopefully everyone is going into this weekend with the goal of winning another team title, but I also think each of our shooters has a chance to win an individual title as well."
Joining Wallizer on the air gun team and pushing him for the individual title are junior Andy Lamson and sophomore Michael Kulbacki.
Lamson, a Colchester, Vt., native, finished just behind Wallizer at last year's air rifle championship in third place with a 689.7 final score. The NRA first team air rifle All-American shot a personal-best 594 on Oct. 17, and most recently shot 591 in WVU's NCAA qualifying match on Feb. 13. Lamson's talents don't end with air gun, as he leads the Mountaineers with a season-best 1166.67 combined score average.
|Sophomore Michael Kulbacki hopes to have the same success he enjoyed at the 2009 NCAA Championships.
WVU Staff photo
Kulbacki returns to the national championships after a strong second season at WVU in which he improved his consistency in air gun. The NRA second team air rifle All-American played an integral role in the Mountaineers' championships comeback last season and finished sixth overall with a 686.9 final score. Armed with a 588.58 air rifle season average, the team's second-best mark, the DuBois, Pa., native should again factor into WVU's success this weekend.
Junior Tommy Santelli rounds out the Mountaineers' air rifle lineup. A 2009 NRA second team air rile All-American, Santelli improved his scores as this year progressed, shooting a season-high 590 against Ole Miss on Jan. 30. The Prosperity, Pa., native also shot at last year's championships and finished fifth overall in air gun with a final score of 687.5. Santelli has shot well in both guns this season and is coming off a second-place smallbore showing (680.2 final score) at the GARC Championships.
Santelli, Lamson and Wallizer will join Brandi Eskew in the smallbore lineup. Eskew, a two-time NRA first team smallbore All-American, returns to the championships after a one-year absence. The Petersburg, W.Va., native has enjoyed a successful junior campaign and paces the Mountaineers with a 578.75 smallbore average. Eskew has shot especially well as of late, scoring a personal-best 588 in the Mountaineers' NCAA qualifying match on Feb. 13.
Sophomore Justin Pentz joins the Mountaineers this weekend after individually qualifying for the smallbore competition. The DuBois, Pa., native and NRA second team smallbore All-American enters his first national championships with a 576.5 smallbore average. He has also shot well late this season, including a personal-best 586 showing on Feb. 13.
"Justin's individual qualification shows the progress he has made as a sophomore and I'm delighted that he gets this opportunity to compete," said Hammond.
The Mountaineers will be without the service of GARC air rifle, smallbore and combined score champion Nicco Campriani. The junior transfer from Florence, Italy, is currently in Norway defending his air rifle title at the 2010 European Championships.
"Obviously, Nicco would have affected the lineups this weekend, but we enter the tournament with the same counting lineup we had at the GARC Championships," explained Hammond.
WVU enters this weekend's competition after putting together a stellar defense of its national title. Following a perfect season-opening four-match road trip in October, the Mountaineers breezed past their stiffest GARC competition, defeating Army, the 2005 national champions, 4638-4562, on Nov. 14, and Kentucky, the defending GARC champions and the only squad to defeat WVU last season, 4691-4642, on Nov. 21. At the time, the team's wining score was believed to be the best collegiate mark achieved since the 60-shot course was implemented at the onset of the 2004-05 season.
The Mountaineers avoided complacency and continued to improve in January, and with the addition Campriani, forced to sit out the year's first six matches due to transfer rules, the team came within three shots of the much-desired 4700 score with a 4697-4670 victory over then-No. 1 Alaska-Fairbanks on Jan. 21. The win, the squad's second over the Nanooks in two years, indicated a changing of the guard in the collegiate rifle ranks, as UAF had not only dominated the Mountaineers in years past, but also had won nine of the last 10 NCAA Championships prior to 2009.
Filled with confidence, the Mountaineers closed out their season with a first-place finish at the Winthrow Invitational and victories over Ole Miss, Nebraska and Memphis. At 11-0, WVU not only earned the GARC regular-season title, but also finished first at the conference championships on Feb. 21 with a 4653 combined score. The Mountaineers won the smallbore title (2317) and finished third in air rifle (2336); the discipline loss was the team's first of the season.
"The team has had three weeks to prepare since the GARC Championships, and I think they're rested, refreshed and ready to go," Hammond said.
Last year's NCAA win signaled the Mountaineers' return to prominence on the national stage. WVU was already the nation's most-decorated team, having won 13 championships since its inaugural victory in 1983. Though the team's 2009 comeback was previously inconceivable, it typified the direction the program has taken during Hammond's four-year coaching career. In just his second season as the Mountaineer coach, he led the team to a sixth-place finish at the 2008 championships, WVU's first invitation to the national tournament since 2002. He then trumped that showing with last year's victory, and says that a repeat performance this weekend would be fantastic.
"I think there are a lot more expectations on us this year," he explained. "It's one thing to win the way we did last year, but it's a completely different honor to repeat as champions, especially with elevated expectations and pressure. A win would show our dominance this year, but we have to push expectations out of our mind and focus on the same goals we focus on each match."
The 2010 NCAA rifle championships opens Friday, March 12, with the smallbore competition at the TCU Rifle Range. The tournament will conclude Saturday with the air rifle competition at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

Review: Magma Traveler DJ Laptop Stand
Here's a laptop stand that will also appeal to the travelling DJ who needs a reliable platform for their laptop or even a small controller, but for whom space is a premium. If you've ever tried to go to a DJ show carrying all your gear on a plane in hand luggage, that could well be you. And unlike the Magma Riser stand, this will play nicely with gear below it.
The Magma Traveler laptop stand is sturdy, light (lighter than the Reloop Laptop Stage, for instance), folds ultra-flat and comes with its own case - and is priced affordably to boot. To the right you can see what it looks like when it's set up, but below you can see just how small it becomes when it's been fully folded down. It's actually the smallest, most portable DJ laptop stand we've ever seen...
First impressions
They're good. It's made of high quality silver-painted metal, and is a simple design in three joined parts with two folds. It comes in a nylon stitched bag with a sturdy zip, and when folded down is extremely compact. It is also very light, so it's overall highly portable.
Every part of the bottom and the top is covered in padded foam grip material to stop the stand slipping when assembled, and to hold your gear firmly when it's in place. Every section is screwed tightly with two sets of three screws to the next section, and the hinges have high quality domed bolts and washers. There are also two hand tighteners for the bottom hinge, to hold it tightly in place when assembled.
Overall, the design is simple and unfussy, and the materials and construction quality are good.
In use
I set it up on a glass surface and on a lacquered wooden surface, names the office desk and the workshop deck table, and used it over a couple of weeks to really put it through its paces. The stand is fixed position. There's no adjusting of anything - height, angle - it's all as-is. That means that the only real adjustment you're going to have is the angle of your laptop screen.
It is very strong and sturdy in use - I felt utterly confident putting and using a MacBook Air on it, but also it took a Vestax VCI-380 with absolute ease and little "wobble". It is completely stable "sideways", but also surprisingly so up and down, with practically no "give" from the sturdy metal frame.
This is a great stand. It's light, portable, simple to put up and take down, elegant and attractive.
True, it's not adjustable, which will be a deal breaker for some, but the plus point of that is its simplicity and strength - and as I mentioned above, if you're using it with a laptop, you can still adjust the screen to suit (and move the stand left/right of course).
It also has the advantage of being well priced. On measure, I think it's the best overall DJ laptop stand I've used, and it's found a place in my DJ bag. I like how small it is folded down, and the fact it comes with a bag.
If you need a pro stand that'll last a long time and that you can carry around easily, look no further.
Product Summary
Review Summary:
This is a great stand. It's light, portable, simple to put up and take down, elegant and attractive. It's unadjustable which may be a turn off for some DJs, but If you need a pro stand that'll last a long time and that you can carry around easily, look no further.

94 Years Ago
LOS GATOS--The Christmas boxes will be sent out as usual by the Social Service League and supplies and cash donations are being asked for. The League feels that no one in Los Gatos must go without a Christmas dinner and they are hoping for the usual generous response. Last year the boxes held chicken or meat, flour, beans, potatoes, canned corn or tomatoes, bread, rice, coffee, tea, pie or plum pudding, oranges and apples, nuts and candy and toys for the children. A safe way is to send anything that you would like for your own dinner. Notify Mrs. H. S. Beck, with telephone 190Y, or Mrs. N. Harvey, 318R, as to what can be given and deliver the articles at the old Post Office on Monday morning. (San Jose Mercury News, Dec. 20, 1918)
88 Years Ago
You cannot send wildcats through the mail. It is well to know that, for those contemplating the shipment of lynxes, bobcats and other untamed of the cat kind. Los Gatos (Spanish for 'the cats') is a progressive town in California near the foothills where the wildcat still trills its fearsome yodel in pristine freedom. Recently a Los Gatos troop of Boy Scouts trapped a fine feline and offered it as a friendship and Christmas gift to a troop at Evanston, a Chicago suburb. The creature was carefully caged, weighed and the charge calculated as a package for air mail. The postmaster demurred. (Times-Picayune, Dec. 26, 1924)

Taxing the wealthy is not permitted by Conservatives and some even advocate taxing the middle class, as if the phrase, Taxed Enough Already, never passed their lips. Bryan Fischer, the director of the anti-gay rights group American Family Association, had another stuck-on-stupid idea on yesterday's radio program: using health care reform to mandate that everyone attend church and assess a tax on all those who don't.
Fischer attempted an explanation saying, "people who have an active, vibrant spiritual life are healthier" and since "Obamacare is all about improving the health of the American people," we ought to "mandate that you go to church for your own health and we are going to tax the atheists who don't go to church."
(I hear a resounding God-like Facepalm from the heavens).
Fischer is demonstrating precisely why so many believe the church should be taxed.

Waterdeep Gives Folk-Rock Some Punch In the Middle of It
- Andrew Greer CCMmagazine.com
- 2010 22 Jul
Artist: Waterdeep
Title: In the Middle of It
Label: Hey Ruth, Inc.
One thing Waterdeep's Don and Lori Chaffer have never lacked is creativity. Dousing their latest quirky folk-rock with extra punch, the dynamic duo turns a kaleidoscope of sounds into a shimmering tapestry of musical color. Frequently trading vocal leads gives the long track listing (14 total) perpetual motion, while gutsier vocal styling by both Chaffers helps to distinguish the set list further. The real gems are in the latter half, where acoustic clarity replaces noisy trinkets, reminding listeners why Waterdeep is an underground favorite.

Nikon recently announced the Nikon Coolpix S800C, which features something really unique: Google's Android operating system.
Android's functionality built into the camera lets you connect to WiFi hotspots in your house or out and about anywhere WiFi is available. While it will be running an older version of Android (2.3), it will still include the full suite of Google applications. The biggest benefit of Android will be to upload pictures and video directly from the camera, and not only that, but you can also use the thousands of Android applications to browse the web, check e-mail, edit pictures and so much more.
So what does this Nikon powerhouse include?
- 16 megapixel sensor
- 10x Vibration Reduction Optical Zoom (25mm to 250mm)
- 3.5″ OLED touch screen
- 2 GB storage for Android OS + SDXC Card slot for picture storage
- Burst mode up to 8 frames per second
- 1080p video recording
- Built-In GPS
- HDMI and USB 3.0 Output
- Rechargeable Battery with estimated ~140 shots/charge.
- Available in White and Black
So is this the future of digital imaging? I am excited to see the possibilities of integrating the powerful Android operating system and apps into a camera, but we will have to wait until we can play with one to have a final say. The S800C is set to go on sale in September at a MSRP of $350.

Once again, the lucky owner seems to be Pharrell Williams, who was also behind commissioning the first Smurf and Spongebob paintings from the artist. Here are the photos Pharrell dropped on his blog yesterday. Is this a sign of things to come at KAWS' upcoming New York solo show?

I'm InTouch 4
I'm InTouch started out as a way to access e-mail and files remotely, even over dial-up and other low-bandwidth connections (which it still supports). The service, priced at $10 a month or $100 a year, has gradually beefed up its remote control features. But like RemotePC, I'm InTouch 4 lacks some of the key capabilities of competing services, such as remote printing.
The service does possess a number of unique capabilities, most notably remote access via BlackBerry devices; if you're a BlackBerry addict, the service's optional I'm InTouch Messenger may be the best way to log in to your PC remotely. In fact, 01 Communique claims that you can access the host using any computer or wireless device with a browser and Internet connection. You don't need to load any additional software onto the remote device, whether it's a desktop computer, a laptop, a wireless PDA, a cell phone, or an Internet kiosk, according to the company. But the definition of "desktop computer" does not appear to include Macs, at least in our testing. Even with this limitation, I'm InTouch has the broadest compatibility of any of the services we tried.
I'm InTouch also supports Webcams. When you log on to the service, it automatically sends video from any camera attached to the host--a cool way to check things out at home without buying an expensive networked Webcam.
The service's installation was straightforward, with one caveat: You must select a host PC name that isn't already in use by any other I'm InTouch user. PCs are not tied to specific user accounts, as they are in the other services we tested. This arrangement can make it tough to create a unique user name that isn't something like "Dell-4327876". I'm InTouch also seems less secure because you must set the second layer of authentication manually: If you don't change the second server-access control, it is the same as the first user name and password.

Oil giant ExxonMobil pays record fine for greenhouse gas emissions
ExxonMobil has been forced to pay the biggest environmental fine in British history because of its failure to report greenhouse gas emission from a chemical plant in Scotland.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency imposed the fine of £2.8 million in 2010-11 after the company failed to report 33,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from its Mossmorran ethylene plant in Fife.
The fine was not publicised by Sepa at the time and only came to light in a report published last week, which revealed that ExxonMobil had identified sources of carbon dioxide that had not been reported in its return for 2008.
Environmental groups said that the scale of the fine should have been publicised, rather than buried in the report, to highlight complacency in the…

I had an open rhinoplasty done about a week ago. I would like to buy a scar cream to make the incision cut go away. What is the best one or most commonly used? Can I buy this online or at a drug store?
What is the Best Scar Cream for Open Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 12
The Best Scar Cream
For an open rhinoplasty, I have my own scar cream that I have formulated which has Vitamin A, E, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin C cream. It helps to moisturize the area of your scar. The key is to apply a moisturizer twice a day for 6 months to the incision area.
Scar Cream after Open Rhinoplasty
I'e never used a scar cream after an open rhinoplasty. This incision should heal well, without the need for post-op wound care.
Scar cream for rhinoplasty incision
Thank you for your question. Your desire to speed up the recovery process is understandable. However, scar maturation needs time. As noted by other doctors, topical treatments are generally not required following a well-performed open rhinoplasty incision. Healing is typically excellent and imperceptible. Sunblock may prevent or minimize sun-related discoloration of maturing scars. For early scars that are slightly raised or demonstrate imperfect alignment of wound edges, silicon sheeting may be useful. If you have concerns about your healing, contact your surgeon - especially during the early postoperative period. Good luck.

The best scar treatment for open rhinoplasty at one week post-op is time!
Precise surgical closure and expert technique are required, but your genetics of healing play a role in the final scar you will have. Any manipulation (scar cream, gel, sheets, massage, etc.) AT THIS TIME is only going to adversely affect your scar. It needs to become strong and durable before anything at all is done to try to "improve" your scar.
Again, precise closure and expert technique is the best way to get the best scar. At 3 weeks post-op I recommend Vitamin E oil massage to help soften and reduce swelling in any scar that seems a bit raised or firm, but usually nothing other than "tincture of time" is needed or recommended.
I'd ask your surgeon first, and then go easy on any scar treatment you plan to try. Most scar treatments benefit the seller much more than the purchaser! Best wishes!

Scar cream for rhinoplasty
I agree that most of the time, if closed properly (and opened properly), the incision heals imperceptibly without any scar creams. That said, the only type of scar cream/gel that has any scientific evidence to support its use is silicone sheeting. I occasionally recommend kelocote, a silicone based gel, which can be found online (just do a search). Other creams like mederma have no real scientific basis for working. Check with your surgeon before you put anything on the incision, however.

Your Open Rhnioplasty incision should not require any topical scar-cream.
In my practice, an open approach is preferred for nearly all nose job surgeries, and this scar heals incredibly well without the routine use of any topical preparations. If you want to try something, you could try a topical silicone product like Scar-Guard, but in my experience, this is largely unnecessary.

Scar after rhinoplasty
In agreement with other responders, no specific management of your scar is indicated at this time except to avoid trauma and/or manipulation, which the application of scar medicaments may represent. In the highly unlikely circumstance that the scar does not "melt away" over time, surgical revision, a minor office procedure, is the best treatment.
Learn more: http://www.feelbeautiful.com
Ask your surgeon for his advice
I have never seen a "bad scar" following rhinoplasty. You are far too early in the post-operative period to consider any scar therapy. At this point dilute peroxide and polysporin is all I recommend to my patients. It is very unlikely that you would require silicone gel/sheets. There is no evidence that Mederma is effective. Ask your surgeon for their advice. Warmest regards.
Dr. Pippin
What is the Best Scar Cream for Open Rhinoplasty?
I have performed Open Rhinoplasty and Closed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and IMHO at 1 week after your Open Rhinoplasty, you shouldn't put anything on the scar, including Vit E or any scar creams. I advise my patients to let the incision heal for 1 month, apply sunscreen when going outside after 1 week and during the 1 month follow up, I'll suggest scar fade cream be used if needed.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Facial Scar Cream
Of course meticulous closure by the surgeon and avoidance of sun will help minimize scarring. There is a silicone-based cream that is used for the face to minimize scars that I recommend for my patients. It is only available through a specialist's office.

An additional 1,700 acres have burned in Beaver County since the Baboon Fire flared up Friday.
The fire was thought to be contained earlier this week, but investigators believe a single tree inside previous containment lines caught fire and ignited extremely dry vegetation nearby.
The new flare-up was 50 percent contained Saturday. With the additional burnt land, the Baboon Fire is estimated to have blackened 20,732 acres since it was initially sparked July 13.
The fire is burning about six miles south of Minersville, and was caused by lightning.
No structures have been damaged and no injuries have been reported.
The Lighthouse Fire in Emery County was 85 percent contained Saturday, and officials said the fire had burned through 862 acres. Fire officials determined the wildfire was human-caused.
Several archaeological sites were threatened by the Lighthouse Fire, including rock art, granaries, pit and cliff dwellings, burial sites and other points of archaeological interest along Range Creek.
