The Story Of Miraculous Propolis
Honey Bee
Bee Facts
- Bees collect the sticky resin from plants & trees which protect delicate buds from weather, pests and infection. They chew the resin, mixing it with their own enzymes to make a "glue".
- Ancient Greeks called this bee-glue Propolis, meaning in front of the city, because they knew it protects the hive from bacteria.
- Bees use Propolis to fill gaps in their hive keeping out draughts, it is disinfectant & antiseptic so the hive smells beautifully clean, even in winter when they are "housebound".
- When a bee hatches from its nursery cell that cell is cleaned with Propolis, ready for the queen to lay a precious new egg in sterile conditions.
- Bee hive intruders, such as frogs, mice or snakes, are stung to death by bees who then die themselves. Other bees then cover the dead invader with Propolis to stop it rotting and protect the bee colony from infections. The mummified corpse will lay in the bees' sacred city until a friendly bee-keeper discovers and removes it.
Propolis Facts
- Every dot of Propolis is different because it is gathered by many bees from many plants in all sorts of places on different days.
- Propolis in the hive is green or red to dark brown in colour and very sticky.
- Famous violinist Stradivarius used Propolis on his violins, giving them an exquisite resonance.
- Most bee keepers farming for honey would throw away Propolis after scraping & torching it from their hives, but even after such harsh work in coldest weather they wonder at their soft smooth hands and many suck a small piece to soothe sore throats, mouth ulcers & coughs.
Bee Farmer Bill Flynnwas fascinated by this & found that "iron curtain" countries were researching Propolis as medicine! A friend of a friend smuggled research information across the "iron curtain" to Bill (registered bee farmer bf007!) while he researched how Propolis was used in past history:
- In ancient Egypt: Propolis was used in the secret mummifying ceremony and was buried in precious caskets beside royal coffins in the pyramids.
- In ancient Greece: Propolis was highly prized by "the father of medicine" Hypocrates. He named Propolis & gave his name to the Hippocratic Oath our doctors must swear today, he invented medical practice as we know it.
In recent medical trials….
All over the world, scientists have found Propolis to have amazing properties which include:
Anti - inflammatory, analgesic , anti – fungal , antibacterial, anti tumerous & antibiotic properties and it actually boosts our immune system .
World news
In the 1970's Bill Flynn's family overcame painful ailments by taking his Propolis capsules, so Bill & Iris retired happy. Then the "Sunday express" heard about this miracle of nature and told the world and, every day for the next 2 years, visitors & sacks of letters flooded into their little bungalow in Longfield requesting Flynn's Propolis capsules. So Bill & Iris started work again, becoming the first UK suppliers of Propolis, but they had to move to a larger place to accommodate the worlds "new" interest in Propolis which had taken over their lives and changed many more - for the better!
And ever since then, people from all over the world still seek out Flynn's for Propolis. Sometimes they come because they have been recommended by friends & family, sometimes by their doctors, nurses or vets and sometimes they find out about Propolis by reading or surfing the net in search of action where modern prescription medicines fail. Some people simply come to Flynn's seeking a supply of Propolis for maintaining good health, because propolis is relied upon, used every day and always kept handy in homes in many other countries.
Ultra modern Propolis at Flynn's
- Our Propolis is tested to ensure it contains enough flavinoids to fortify our bodies against infection.
- The best Propolis is then cleaned and refined so that it is easier for our bodies to absorb, and therefore more effective.

They are all fantastic! I really like the monogrammed cases. Also, I saw this neat tip on Pinterest. Buy a clear iPhone case and create a new back for it. Use scrapbook paper or fabric--lots of possibilities.

My favorite is the chevron striped from Dabney Lee but they are all awesome. The price is nice on the Society 6 one. I love the idea of the clear case with scrapbook paper. You could even use rub-ons to put your name or initials on the scrapbook paper first.

Keeping Loved Ones Safe on the Road
Many caregivers worry about the ability of their loved ones to continue driving safely.
Some drivers over 50 have never looked back since they first got their licenses. They sport around town, many with the same level of driving skills that they possessed when they first hit the road. But age-related changes—reaction times, medical conditions affecting the heart, eyes, muscles, and brain, and the medicines used to treat those symptoms—can affect fitness to drive.
Many caregivers worry about the ability of their loved ones to continue driving safely. We worry about the harm they might cause to themselves and to others. So how can we assist caregivers to identify the time to stop or to limit driving?
- Watch for warning signs of diminishing abilities or unsafe driving.
- Use guidance and resources on AARP.org to conduct important "family conversations" about driving.
- Help by showing your loved ones the resources they can use to refresh their driving skills. Make sure they are aware of the current rules of the road and new car technologies.
We all want to continue driving as long as we can safely do so. We love the independence that driving represents, and we are frightened by what an end to driving could mean to our quality of life. So when family members' age-related changes begin to affect driving skills, it can be difficult to talk to them about their driving fitness.
Assess the Situation
If you are concerned that your older family member's driving skills may be diminishing, the first thing you should do is spend some time with the person in the car. Observe firsthand how he or she drives, makes decisions, and deals with different road conditions. While you're riding with your loved one, pay attention to how he or she handles being in the driver's seat.
Here are some warning signs that may indicate a problem. Does your loved one appear to be any of the following?
- Uncomfortable, nervous, or fearful
- Having difficulty staying in the travel lane
- Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersections and on highway entrance and exit ramps
- Not seeing the sides of the road when looking straight ahead
- Having a hard time turning around to check over the shoulder while backing up or changing lanes
- Getting honked at by other drivers
- Having trouble paying attention to traffic signals, road signs, and pavement markings
Once you've spent some time on the road and have seen some of the warning signs, take a look at your loved one's car. Talk to him or her or with other family members and friends about what's happening, and ask yourself the following:
- Can you find dents and scrapes on the car, on fences, mailboxes, garage doors, and curbs?
- Have friends and family said that they don't want to drive with Mom or Dad?
- Is your loved one living with a medical condition or taking medications that could affect the ability to handle a car safely?
- How many traffic tickets or warnings from law enforcement officers has your loved one received in the last year or two?
- Does your loved one get lost repeatedly?
The "Family Conversation"
You might not know that in general, older drivers monitor themselves. Most gradually limit or stop driving when they feel that it is no longer safe. Ask yourself how many people you know who:
- Have stopped driving at night
- Don't use the interstate highway
- Only drive to familiar places
- Avoid driving during rush hour
- Don't drive in inclement weather
- Make three right turns in order to go left
These steps are good, because they show the drivers are aware of their abilities and are changing their behavior to stay safe on the road!
However, some people do not recognize declining abilities. Some do, but fear that driving less or not at all will make mean they are stuck at home and unable to get where they need and want to go.
If you, as a caregiver, reach the conclusion that you need to talk with a loved one about safe driving, there are several steps you should take, including the following:
Share. Tell your loved one what you have observed and that you are concerned about his or her safety. Expect this first conversation to be one of many. It's important that you are as constructive and supportive as possible. If you have siblings, you should talk together about how best to share your collective concerns, but you should not "gang up" on your mom or dad, because that approach won't be well received.
Go with your loved one to talk to the doctor. See if there are any changes he or she can make to the driver's medications to improve your loved one's driving abilities. After a physical examination, the doctor may recommend an occupational therapist to help your loved one build strength and flexibility.
Consider an AARP Driver Safety course. AARP has offered its Driver Safety Program for 30 years. More than 12 million people have completed the courses. Taking the no-test course is an excellent way to learn compensation techniques to address age-related changes, and how the rules of the road and car technologies have changed since your loved one started driving. He or she might even be eligible for an insurance discount after completing the course, which is offered in both in-person and online settings.
Look for a Carfit program. This no-cost program, supported by the American Automobile Association, the American Occupational Therapists Association, and AARP, conducts one-on-one consultations with drivers to evaluate how they "fit" their cars. Carfit consultants look at the height of the driver's seat, the positioning of the mirrors, and whether or not the driver reaches the pedals. They may suggest physical therapy to build strength and flexibility, or they may direct your loved one to adaptive devices that can make driving easier.
Working to Keep Your Loved One Safe
All parents surely remember watching their child drive off alone for the first time. You reassure yourself that you have done everything possible to make sure they are conscious of safety. You've shared your knowledge of driving, had the conversation about drinking and distracted driving, but at the end of the day, you have to trust that your child will use what he or she has learned to stay safe.
No adult child wants to worry about an older parent behind the wheel. But many do. We all understand how important it is for older Americans to remain independent, mobile, and socially connected. So it is critical that all caregivers approach the topic of driving as respectfully as possible. The good news is that if you identify a problem, the resources and steps I've reviewed can improve your loved one's fitness to drive.
If, however, the time comes when everyone agrees it is time to hang up the keys, many communities have transportation options to get your loved one to the places he or she needs and wants to go. Make sure you've done your homework and can introduce your loved one to all of the community transportation resources that are available.
Caregiving is all about helping your loved ones lead the best possible life. Staying safe on the road is just another important part of that picture. I wish you good luck helping the people you care for get around safely.
All the best,

Series puts umpiring technology to ultimate test
Page Tools
CRICKET continues to grapple with the idea that it must embrace technology, and the arguments are bound to continue during the Super Series.
The International Cricket Council, which is running the series, has adopted a technology trial that takes the use of television replays further than ever before in the cause of assisting on-field umpires.
For the three one-day internationals in Melbourne and next week's Sydney Test the umpires have the right to consult the third umpire on all decisions, rather than merely line decisions. Trials have been conducted before, most notably at the Champions Trophy in 2002 when third umpires were consulted on lbw decisions for the first time. But nobody is truly clear as to how it will work.
"I don't think anyone really knows," said Ricky Ponting, the Australian captain. "It's being done on a trial basis for the next four games. It's certainly going to be different."
Ponting conceded one major concern. "The biggest issue I had with it is the amount of time it takes to make decision. As captains we're strict on a time frame to get through your overs, and this could slow us down a little bit. But you're going to be given allowances for that, and if it makes the umpires' decision-making easier and better, that's what they're after."
The World team's captain Shaun Pollock also reserved judgement. "We're looking forward to seeing how it works. There are permutations you can come up with in discussion. We could sit here for three hours but I think we have to give it a fair chance. It's being trialled for this series and we're going to see how it unfolds."

[U.S. UNDER-17 MEN] Junior Flores is considered one of the top young talents to come along in many years. The
midfielder, born to Salvadoran immigrants, is only 16 but has already been signed to a pre-contract by German champion Borussia Dortmund and to an endorsement contract by Nike. But in his second year
of residency with the U.S. under-17 national team, Flores has seen his playing time reduced as qualifying for the 2013 Under-17 World Cup approaches.
Richie Williams, who took over for Wilmer Cabrera as U-17 coach last year, told Jeff Carlisle of ESPN.com it is normal for a player to have his ups and downs at Flores' age:
Williams remained high on Flores, citing his work ethic -- and skill:
Williams added that Flores looked good this month as he returned to his attacking midfield position after spending a good part of last year on the wings.

This place has potential, but needs LOTS of work. 1. No manager onsite after 8 PM. People who forget their key lean on the bell and knock ALL night long and don't stop until let in. 2. No quiet hours. Good luck sleeping. 3. Lockers do not fit a standard master lock, only cheap, tiny ones. 4. Microwave is broken and kitchen was a mess with dirty dishes. 5. Laundry facilities? Nope. 6. Bring your own toilet paper, always out. It's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Never again.

Good beds, but no towels or breakfast included and the staff (one in particular) was so rude. Pretty much kicked me out at 12.30pm even though I'd taken all my things out of my room. It didn't really make much sense to me because what if someone has a flight at 6pm? Will they just walk around with all their things for 6 hours? The staff member slammed the door in my face when she could clearly see she had upset me. Good for a one night stop over

BISBEE, Ariz. (AP) A U.S. Border Patrol agent pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that he fatally shot an illegal immigrant who he claimed threatened him with a rock.
Nicholas Corbett, 41, is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide in the death of 22-year-old Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera, of Puebla, Mexico, in January just north of the border.
Dominguez, his two brothers and a girlfriend of one of the brothers were stopped by Corbett on Jan. 12. The four had crossed the Mexican border near Naco.
During an Aug. 6 hearing, the three said they turned around and were running back within a few hundred yards of the border, trying to evade capture, when they saw Corbett's vehicle heading toward them.
They said Corbett drove his Border Patrol vehicle in a circle around them to cut them off.
Corbett told supervisory agents he had shot Francisco Dominguez after the man allegedly threatened him with a rock. Witnesses, however, said Corbett shot Dominguez without provocation.
Corbett has been on administrative desk duty at the patrol's Naco station since the shooting. His trial is set for Dec. 18, prosecutors said.

Social Circle: Would you move somewhere warm if you could?
The "Social Circle" is a group effort between readers, social networkers and the OnMilwaukee.com editors. Every Monday, we ask a question via Facebook and Twitter and then post the responses from our Facebook "likers" and Twitter followers in this column. Well-known Milwaukee movers and shakers will contribute, too.
Milwaukeeans like to complain about winter a lot, and for some, it's more sincere than others. Hence, this week, OnMilwaukee.com asked the Social Circle if they would really move somewhere warm, if it were feasible.
Add your responses via the Talkback feature. And hey, remember that March is almost over.
Vedran Ćavara: "Yes, Croatia. I am from there and during the summer it's absolutely gorgeous and not overly saturated with tourists."
Josh Christiansen: "I like having four seasons, even if the winter is a little long and the summer is too short/humid."
Steve Conradt: "Eagle River!"
Federico Cruz: "The Philippines. I moved here in January."
Steph Davies: "St. John. I would hike and canoe all the time. I would spend my afternoons reading in a hammock. When can I move?
Jim Draeger: "No. I am never leaving Wisconsin again."
Matt Gergeni: "Belize!"
Steven Hawley: "Cudahy."
Larry Johnson: "I used to think the Gulf Coast. I've crossed out so many that now I'd live in Milwaukee if all the summers were guaranteed to be like 2012."
Alan Kiedrowski: "Yep, New Orleans is my fav place ever!"
Shannon Knapp: "Loved living in New Orleans and all over Louisiana. Warm is wonderful. However, it's also where stupid people congregate because they would die in the cold. Love going the the islands every year, but it's too much of a party to be real life. I would be really happy in a milder climate but our family business, Milwaukee Blacksmith, kinda fits here."
Tammy Kolbe: "Arizona."
Erin Shea Linnane: "We are always looking at properties in Belize and Costa Rica for retirement, but that is pretty far off."
Denise Lubotsky: "Not warm, but warmer. Pacific Northwest."
Brit McCulley: "Arizona is quite lovely. As a former Wisconsinite, I would recommend it to anyone."
Amy Mizialko: "Maui."
Steve Pittsley: "Yes. New Mexico, California, Nevada, Texas or Kentucky."
Maria Holden Raboin: "We moved from Milwaukee to the San Francisco suburbs. I miss the seasons change, actual cold weather and I honestly miss the snow. Would move back to Milwaukee in a second!"
Tammie Strause: "Love Milwaukee and the surrounding area, but this cold weather gets old fast."
Jeanette Sunrain: "I would like somewhere at least not as cold and small chance of snow. Seattle."
Autumn Whitlow: "I hate bugs, so no. I like that go away and die for a few months."
MilwaukeeCity | March 24, 2013 at 4:41 p.m. (report)
I don't know how or why anyone would want to live here year round. If my wife would agree to it I would be living in Palm Beach. Why spend more than half the year inside their house waiting for summer. If I were single I would be gone, I can still fly back or drive back to see family in the summer. This place is a wasteland.

Reflective Writing
What Is Reflective Writing?
Reflective writing is different from most other forms of academic writing because it does not require (usually) that you cite sources. Instead, it calls on you to express your own views on an experience, even though you may have "experienced" it only in print or on the screen. Reflective writing takes many forms—reaction paper, journal, learning log, personal essay—to name a few.
Rather than ask, "what is reflective writing," you might better ask "what is reflective thinking?" Writing, after all, is the process of making your thinking visible on paper. Consider the root word "reflect," meaning "to give back an image." To think reflectively means to give a second (or third, or fourth . . .) look at your own experience in order to analyze and learn from what took place.
One purpose of reflective writing is to help you learn. The process of writing forces your brain to take action on the information, consolidating it and fixing it in long term memory. That is why note-taking while reading is recommended, and why journaling is often a requirement for a practicum or internship. Another purpose is to communicate your insights to others, either to enlighten them or to demonstrate what you have learned.
Reflective thinking fosters metacognition: that is, the ability to analyse and understand your own thought processes. Metacognition enables you to develop strategies for acting purposefully towards a goal. It is the opposite of unproductive random behavior—trial and error—that dooms you to repeat mistakes and prevents you from applying successful strategies from the past.
Characteristics of Reflective Writing
Reflective writing for an academic assignment, regardless of its purpose or setting, can be identified by these characteristics:
- It is purposeful. Reflective writing does not mean jotting down scraps of thoughts as they pop into your head. That might work for a personal diary, but not for reflective writing with an academic purpose. Start with a goal: What do you want to accomplish, to learn, to improve, to demonstrate, to understand better. . . ?
- It is personal. It explores a relationship between the writer and something else. Here are some sample reflective questions to illustrate the point:
- What was it like to be the only American teacher in a Japanese school?
- What is your reaction to the film No Country for Old Men?
- What were the two most influential courses you took in college?
- Why was your study group unable to come to agreement?
- How successful were you at classroom management?
- What is your response to Gordon's thesis that media stereotypes of nurses undermine patient care?
In each question, the writer is asked to consider his or her position in relation to something else.
- It is perceptive. Reflective writing is not merely describing or telling a story. It requires higher order thinking skills:
- Analysis . What are the separate and underlying components of the situation, process, or argument you are reflecting on? What are the causes and effects?
- Synthesis . How do those components relate to or react to one another? How are they different when considered together rather than apart? What would happen if you introduced a change? How can you summarize? What have you learned?
- Evaluation . What is your attitude towards the subject? What is your degree of subjectivity? How have you been affected? What part will you accept or reject? How might you perceive or act differently in the future?
- It is polished. Although you may not use research sources, reflective writing must meet the standards of precision, clarity, conciseness, and correctness of any other styles of formal writing.
- Plan to write and revise. Do not hand in the first draft.
- Follow APA style in all aspects possible: Use formal punctuation, use complete sentences, insert page numbers and headings when appropriate, and maintain margins and paragraph indents.
- Read the paper back to yourself, aloud. When you write from a personal perspective, it is easy to lose sight of your audience. Check for clear organization and graceful transitions.
- Run the spell check.

Norwegian Spirit - Alaska: Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by Vaibhav Vaish
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Spirit - Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Embarkation: We were there early - reached the cruise terminal at 12:00, and were on board before 1:30 (maybe sooner). We heard there was a glitch later, delaying embarkation due to three ships boarding that day, which delayed our sailing by an hour. This seemed to be outside NCL's control, and I did not hear anyone complain. There was a lively party as we cast off.
Cabin: We loved having a balcony cabin. Our room steward and stewardess took excellent care of us, my mother loved the towel animals. We knew in advance we would not have a refrigerator and did not miss it.
Food: We are from India and More vegetarian, so we did not expect much variety available to us. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity (experienced cruisers may not be). We ate most meals in Raffles, they have ample stuff for vegetarian and actually had one Indian item every day. We loved Raffles ... at times it was crowded, but we never had to spend more than 15 minutes between entering and beginning our meal. Electronic displays over the ship show the occupancy (and wait times if any) for all the restaurants for those who care. We didn't bother - we could always take ou trays outside Raffles on the terrace or by the pool if it was crowded inside. We had one meal in Windows, and one in the Garden Room. Both were decent. The chocoholic buffet on the final day was impressive, make sure to get there early or there will be a long line. My parents' only complaint about the food was the weight they put on. Oh well, they went to the treadmills.
Service: This exceeded our expectations by far! From the moment we boarded, we were always greeted with a smile. Several crew members would exchange the Indian greeting of namaste. The staff in Raffles were very helpful given our dietary preferences. When we went to Windows, our server went and got us a special Indian meal. We have no idea how she managed it - we hadn't even made any advance request. We had just asked her on entering if there was any day on which they served Indian food ... and she got us a fantastic meal right away. Thanks to cruise director Mike Witte and the officers who attended and facilitated the Cruise Critic member's meeting.
The only drawback was internet access on the ship did not work due to a technical glitch. We were given a 100% refund, and managed to get easy net access in ports.
Entertainment: I guess we have different likes from most people here. My mother liked the class on making towel animals the most. We were happy with a few games of bingo (almost won), donating a few $$ to the slot machine. My father enjoyed watching the Captain and officers at the bridge. We made good use of the library. There was usually some music or dancing going on in Galaxy of the Stars. We went to one show by a talented comedian and juggler.
Excursions: Thank you everyone who posted on the Alaska board, especially Budget Queen, Murray and Caroline. Anything I say will be a repeat of the excellent advice offered there. Barring inclement weather or no research, there seems no way one can avoid having a fabulous time in Alaska. We booked/arranged all excursions independently. Semi-submersible vehicle in Ketchikan, whale watching in Juneau with the world famous Captain Larry and driving to Emerald Lake from Skagway. Here are the pictures.
Disembarkation: I was concerned about this, since we docked at 7:00 a.m. and had a 1:20 p.m. flight to catch. NCL had said any time after 1:00 was safe, but being foreigners I was apprehensive of customs delay. Not a problem ... we were on shore and through customs 30 min after our color tag was called. We reached the airport 3 hours before our flight.
Overall: We had a marvellous time. Doing proper research really pays off. In retrospect, almost all complaints I've read on Cruise Critic seem to be due to a mismatch between expectations and what's actually offered, something one can usually sort out well in advance. Thanks to NCL, Cruise Critic and the weather gods for making our trip so wonderful. Less

A bit of an alcohol bomb at 14.5 percent abv, Kimmel's Mendocino wine is pretty brassy for a humble Merlot. As you sample it, it speaks of juxtapositions and paradoxes: A buzzy rush of booze is balanced by fresh raspberry and blueberry notes. Cedar wood is offset by a distinct note of cloves and a chocolate tinge. The finish is clean but short and bends a limb back toward the fruit. Quite tasty, and a reminder of how good Merlot can be.

Only on the promo… So… This is just the crazy creation of my mind! :) I wanted to make it as good as I could, and I really hope you will like it…Woah, I just saw that this became the longest thing I ever wrote...Hope you don't mind...
Thanks for reading!
Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing…
"Where are you? C'mon! It's not funny!" Lisbon was stumbling in the dark, damp forest. Her eyes searching for any sing that would help her find Patrick Jane. "You know I'm not going to get scared! We don't have time for this, for God's sake we are on a crime scene…We are here to work, not to play hide and seek!" she walked further into the darkness on the path. She barely could see a thing.
He was on the shore of a lake. A little smile was playing on his face as he got ready to make her squeal. He was looking for a place to hide from her when someone pulled him into the cold water.
"Lisbon!" he screamed, he was in the water, suffocating. "Lisbon, here…" he was under the water again. "Help me, Lisbon!" he cried desperately. He felt hands around his neck and he couldn't see anything. He couldn't breathe, water was filling his lungs. He knew he was going to die and he closed his eyes shut. The last thing he could think about was her. Her face, her eyes, her voice in his mind, her smile…
She was running. As she would run for dear life. When she heard his shout she could tell from his voice that it's no joke. Her heart was thumping. What if he is in danger? She was running, running… She didn't care about the pain, nor the cuts on her arms from the bushes.
When she noticed him on the top of the water, his eyes were closed, his face white and he wasn't moving. The blood ran cold in her veins.
"No, no! Jane!" she yelled and she threw herself into the water. She feels as if he was getting further away from her in the water. She couldn't get there fast enough. When she reaches him he still doesn't move or breathe. "No, Jane! Do you hear me? Jane!" she tapped his face, her mind racing and she started to pull him out of the water. "I need help now! Help!" she screamed on the top of her lungs. Her voice was high and trembling…
People came and took him out of her weakened arms. She was wet and cold. Ambulance, doctors came. The sound of a defibrillator, beeping, shouts. All of it was a blur. She felt tears running down her cheeks. His shirt got tore open and hands started to push his chest, counting and yelling. She couldn't see or hear anymore. Suddenly she was pulled away from this terrible nightmare by a firm, gentle hand. Cho.
She can't lose him! She always thought about him as the annoying consultant, the pain in the ass who pissed her off all the time. Made her crazy with his antics. But now, seeing the possibility of losing him she couldn't think of her life without him.
She needed him. He was a part of her life and she realized she couldn't live without Patrick Jane anymore.
She was sobbing now. Hard, violent sobs, shaking her whole body.
She couldn't help it. Images of his white, motionless body filling her head and her inside ached. Everywhere just pain. Her heart was breaking into millions of little pieces and she let it take over her. She was almost unconscious for half an hour and she only got better a bit when Cho came to her again to tell her in a silent voice that Jane made it. In that moment she closed her eyes and her tears fell again, with more force. She was panting and shaking and she collapsed into Cho's arms, who just held her, saying nothing and she was grateful for it.
He made it, he's alive…Thank you my God! Was all that she could think about.
He was all right! Sleeping in a hospital. In fact in a koma. But he was alive. All that matters…
She sat next to him, watching him closely every second. She was afraid to blink…
After few hours he woke up. When he stirred he looked at her. Confusion was in his eyes and she sat on his bed.
"Hi!" she whispered. She couldn't find her voice and felt her fingers tremble.
"Hello…Ehmm…Why am I in a hospital?" he asks, clearly still wasn't understanding the situation.
"You nearly drowned… Scared the hell out of me…Lucky for you that the docs fixed you! God, you okay?" she manages to smile.
"Yeah…All is little blurry…Aamm…Sorry, but…Are we sleeping together?" he asks shyly.
Her mouth dropped open in shock then a little, rather hysteric laugh escapes her. She and Jane. Ridiculous thought ever. Even if mere hours ago she claimed that she needed him. It didn't meant that she would want to…Did it? Nope, he was just a friend.
"What? No…we are not!" she said in an unbelieving tone. What was up with him? He looked different. Nothing changed in physical things, but the way he smiled, the way he looked at her…It was strange, unfamiliar.
"That's a shame… Because you here, are a pretty little thing…" he winked then he reached out his hand. "Really pretty!" he muttered and traced the line of her cheekbone.
She sucked in a sharp breath and felt shivers go down her spine. Her face went red and goosebumps rised all over her arms. His touch was gentle, caring. Completey not like the Jane she knew…
"You don't know who I am, do you?" she asked, standing up and lifting her eyebrows.
"Nope, but I'm really looking forward to meeting you Miss…" he told her warmly then he realized he didn't know her name.
"Seriously? You can't even remember my name?" she gaped, and felt kind of disappointed.
"I'm sorry.." he said with genuine regret on his features.
"Lisbon… Does it sound familiar?" she asked.
"Lisbon….Lisbon…Oh my God, I think there is something…Wait a minute!" he scratched his head as he thought. The hope rised in her heart. Maybe he remembered her…" I know, there was a place in New Jersey, called Lisbon's where I ate a fantastic muffin…Is it yours? By the way, which state are we in?"
Her face fell and her hope sank. She felt tears in her eyes again though she cried so much in the last hours she thought she would never be able to cry again.
"No, that's not me. And we are still in California…" she told him sadly, fighting with her tears, fighting not to break down in front of him.
"You don't have a bakery?" he tried.
"No, in fact, I can't even make a muffin, or I never tried..Sorry!" she laughed with no humour.
"I'm sorry Lisbon.." he answered sincerely and suddenly she saw the old-Jane she knew in him. He was there, deep down, he just had to remember! But then he looked at her again with that weird stare and 'her Jane' was gone again.
"So…How did I even got here?" he asked and with a sigh, in a few words she explained him what happened. She didn't know how much she can tell him until she spoke to his doctor so when she finished the story about the almost-drowning she excused herself and quickly left the room.
When she finally found his doctor and told him all about the situation he just nodded like he had been expecting this all the way along.
"Temorary loss of personal identity. It can last hours or months or in rare cases years…" the man spoke but after that she didn't hear any of it. Could this really be happening? She just had to accept that the Jane she knew, the Jane she…cared about was gone…That maybe she would never get him back?
"Agent Lisbon? Is there something wrong?" the doctor asked and she couldn't help herself.
"Of course there is someting wrong! Everything is wrong, can't you see?" she snapped and without any more words she turned on her heels and stormed out. She wanted to see Patrick but then she changed her mind. He needed rest and to be honest she really didn't want to talk to him about the whole thing. Not like this. She simply couldn't bear the thought that maybe he will never be the same.
So, she went to the only place that could console her right then. Up to the roof of the CBI. There was a little caffee with the sight of the whole city. It always made her feel free of the world's problems and she really hoped that it will happen this time too.
Maybe she should just let it go…Maybe it's how it supposed to be…Maybe this is the universe giving him freedom from his past…Maybe she should be happy for him.
It's been a week since Jane woke up and he didn't get his memories back. He was an absolute other man. He didn't remember the team, his work, not even his family. No Red John, no nightmares. Just the old him. The old con man personality. And he was charming…No other word to describe it. He always grinned at everyone, he told complete cliches and behaved well. Behaved well! That wasn't a thing he used to do and she kind of missed his stupid things. Actually, he was always nice with her and the team but it wasn't like him at all. She saw on her team that all of them missed the old Jane.
On the day of his expelling she went to the hospital to drive him home.
"Hi!" she said as she opened his door. He was dressed up in his three piece suit, clean shaven and his hair is in its perfect way.
"Good morning Lisbon!" he grinned at her as he turned towards her. For a second it was like nothing had happened but she had to remind herself that this wasn't the old Jane. He just knew her name because she told him. He knew nothing about her, he wasn't her best friend.
"You ready to leave?" she asked politely. He nodded and she felt an urge to ask him the question she was afraid to know the answer for. "When are you coming back?"
"Back?" clearly he was confused. He didn't even think about the possibility of going back to work.
"I..I just though…that maybe you would come back to…to the CBI…" she muttered, completely embarrassed.
" Oh no…" he chuckled "I'm done! No more police work…" he shook his head and she couldn't believe her own ears.
Was this really happening? This could be the last time she saw Patrick Jane? She blinked back tears and forced a smile on her face.
"Oh..Okay…Well, let me know if you change your mind, or get your mind back!" she told him in the most light voice she could make. She swallowed hard when she saw that he didn1t notice her inner fight. The old Patrick would have noticed it…
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that!" he winked.
"Should we go?" she motioned to the door. She couldn't stand being in the room anymore.
"Yeah…" he nodded and he followed her out of the room.
In minutes they were in her car. He looked around in the SUV and her heart ached at the sight. He looked like he had never seen this car before, but she could remember the fights they had in it, the jokes he told the team, the places they went together.
She started the car and drove to his apartment. She wasn't sure if he remembered the place and when they arrived her guess became confirmed. He got out of the car and walked to the door with a confused expression.
"So, I suppose I live here…" he murmured and turned to her "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. I think I should go now, and let you get familiar with the flat again…" she told him and waved goodbye as she got into the car again. He flashed a smile and waved back then not waiting for her car to disappear he went inside.
When he was out of sight Lisbon let out some tears but then wiped her face quickly with her palm and went back to the CBI.
When he stepped into the living room he felt like he was a burglar. Sneeking into someone else's apartment… Then he reminded himself that this was his own home. He went to the kitchen and found a pack of tea on the counter. He made a cup of tea and sat down at the table.
He found it interesting that even if he didn't know Lisbon he felt some kind of connection to her. His heart ached at the sight of her pained face when he told her that he had no idea who she was. He wanted to pull her into a hug and hold her until she was okay. He didn't know who she was but he wanted to protect her from everything, he wanted to make her smile he wanted to be with her. He was disappointed when she didn't came in and stayed with him. He already missed her, even if he had no clue what she meant to him just days ago.
He sighed a deep then started to think about his life. He had to do something for a living and his best idea was to go back to what he did before the CBI. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number by heart. The phone rang twice before someone answered.
"Hi Billie, it's Patrick…" he said then drank a sip of his tea.
A whole month had passed by and Patrick Jane was back at work. And by work he meant being a physic. He was still good and he still gained a fortune. On a Wednesday afternoon he was standing on his porch and he watched as the sun went down when something weird happened. He had a feeling that someone was watching him. He turned back but he saw nothing, then when he looked at the street again he had a flashback. He never had anything like this before and when he saw the unfamiliar room in front of him he was slighly scared that he might went crazy. It was like an attic but he was sure he had never been there before. He saw the whole city from there and the sun was going down above the buildings.
He closed his eyes and after some seconds the image was gone. He went inside and decided that he needed rest. Maybe he was just tired that's why he saw such things. He took a shower and went to bed, but he didn't know that this was only the start.
Next morning he woke up, all covered in sweat and he found himself screaming. He dreamt about dead bodies and red painted faces. He heard the sirens of police cars in his ears and for a minute he thought it was real. Then he realized that it was only a dream too. He got out of bed and headed to work. For a difference he drank coffee and when he arrived at work he felt he was okay.
He was so wrong. When he entered the building he almost fell to the floor from the flashback. It was pain, lot of pain. All over his body, cutting and sticking. Then it was gone and he heard a familiar voice saying 'You're going to be okay!'. He stumbled to a chair and sat down. He leaned his head in his hands and saw a load of other images. Yellow police tapes, a brown leather couch, blueberry muffin, pizza…. He had no idea how long he sat like that but after a time it stopped again. He felt completely fine again.
Work was the same as everyday and he went home with a fear in him. He was afraid of these images. They showed him a familiar, still unknown life. He had the feeling that he had seen them before, like déja-vu, but he knew he hadn't had the chance to see them in his life.
Under the shower he heard a soft voice. This time it didn't scare him, he even tried to listen to it instead. It said 'I'm Teresa and this is Patrick…'. He stopped his movements and thought about it. Without any doubts he knew it was about him. And he felt a strange kind of tension in his stomach at the sound of this voice. A woman's voice, a gentle, but strong voice. A voice he knew, a voice he would have recognised in his dreams. But now, he didn't know who it was… He knew, or more felt that he should know it, but he couldn't find the memory in his brain.
The realization started to make him dizzy. He leaned on the wall, still in the shower and closed his eyes. His breathing was hard and uneven.
Then in a second it all became clear. He knew who owned the voice. It was Lisbon, the cop lady. The woman who was there when he woke up. That beautiful creature who was looking at hopefully. Her sparkling, green, emerald eyes were the first things that he saw when he woke up.
He practically ran out of the bathroom, into his room and changed into some comfortable clothes. He went to his car and started the engine. Images of Lisbon and other people filled his mind. He couldn't make connections between them, and he didn't know who they were. The only one he remembered was Lisbon and the only thing he knew that he needed her.
He didn't know how he got to her apartment but after 10 minutes of speeding on the streets he noticed the familiar black SUV in front of a house. He smiled to himself silently as he parked the car. He jumped out and jogged to her door. The light was on and at the second knock she opened the front door. Her face was stunned, and stunning. He found it difficult to breathe as he stared at her. How didn't he noticed how beautiful she was? Or did he?
When Lisbon opened the door she saw the last person she would have expected to see there. Patrick Jane was standing on her porch, dressed in a jeans and a pullover and he was looking at her with wide eyes. For a moment she was afraid that something else had happened to him and was about to ask when she caught the glimpse of a smile on his features. But it wasn't a mask-smile, it was the old grin that she loved so much. It was the smile she was longing for in the last month. She really thought she would never see him again. She tried to live without him, buut it was hard. And just when she was about to make a little process in that he showed up.
"Jane, what are you doing here?" she asked quietly. Her voice was weak and she felt hidden emotions washng over her.
"I was…I wanted…I…" he muttered. He had no idea how to tell her. Suddenly the stream of images stopped as he was looking into her eyes and he was speechless.
Lisbon stepped closer to him and without thinking she kissed him. He let out a surprised moan but returned the kiss immediately. It didn't last more than a few seconds but it meant the world to Lisbon, and kind of more to Jane. It was like a place to hide, a place where they both could be happy, without consequences, without questions. When she pulled back she was already blushing. He stroked her cheek gently and smiled. It felt like he always knew her.
"I don't know why we didn't do this more…often…" the last word came out in a whisper. In that second he had the worst kind of flashback he had ever experienced. It was worse than the one in the morning. There wasn't any physical pain. No. But there was worse. He saw a blond woman and a little, curly girl. Both dead, covered in bloor. Their own blood. Words formed in front of his eyes. Tiger tiger… Red John… Roy Tagliaferro. Words that somehow made sense. People's faces who he knew. And lots of memories…Ones which made him smile and ones which made him want to cry like a baby.
He turned on his heels and walked to his car. He heard Lisbon's confused voice calling after him. She was concerned for his sanity and he didn't blame her. But he had to clear his mind. He got into the car and drove away.
When she saw his face she knew something was off. He was in pain and she knew it. When he backed away from her and ran through her yard to his car she wanted to go after him. Her already broken heart trembled in her chest and she choked on her tears. She stood in the doorway for longer than she liked to admit and she was crying desperately. Then, exhausted from the day and mostly from the overwhelming happenings from the last half an hour she crawled back into her flat and she collapsed on the couch.
Next morning she felt tired and broken. She had a feeling that she is not going to see him ever again and she had to start her 'recovering' over again. She marched into the office like a zombie. She didn't say 'Good morning' to anyone and she closed the door of her office immediately. She sighed a deep and turned to her desk but stopped dead when she saw that someone else was sitting in her chair. Her heart was racing and she couldn't form a words as she stared at him.
"Are you going to keep staring at me like that or you plan to say anything?" he asked playfully and she opened her mouth.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. Patrick Jane stood up from her chair and shrugged.
"I came to work, just as everybody else here…" he winked.
"What?" she gaped. Her breath hitched in her throat and she couldn't stop the intense heat, the pulsing hope spreading in her heart. You have to stop this Teresa, you will get hurt really badly… She reminded herself. "I though you were quitting!" she told him.
"You know I didn't mean that! I've nothing else to do!" he said simply and a memory appeared in her mind. Her eyes went wide open when she remembered the conversation long ago with the exact same words, and as she looked at him she saw it wasn't just by accident.
"Oh my…You remember!" she exclaimed and when he nodded with a huge grin she jumped into his arms. Without further questions she hugged him tighly and she felt happier than ever in her life. She got him back! "You're back…" she murmured into his shoulder and felt that he squeezed her gently to reassure her about that.
"I'm back my dear.." he whispered and she laughed airily.
"Oh my God! I can't believe it…" she said after she pulled back. She felt slightly embarassed about her outburst but he didn't seem like he mind it at all. Instead he looked into her eyes seriously and cupped her face.
"I love you Teresa!" he said and kissed her passionately. She was so surprised she almost didn't have time to kiss him back. When he pulled back she raised an eyebrow.
"What the hell Patrick Jane?" she asked. He seemed a little off guard and she saw a little fear in his eyes. She guessed he was afraid that maybe she will punch him.
"I realized I love you in this month… I suppose I knew it for some time I was just too much of a coward to tell you. Yesterday when you kissed me I got my memory back Teresa. You gave my memory back and thank you for that!" he told her all the while glaring into her eyes. She felt weak at the knees from his ocean blue stare. Some moments passed by and when she didn't respond anything he started to get worried that maybe she got shock. Or maybe she was thinking about the best way to kill him. "Lisbon, you okay?" he asked, stroking her face.
"I love you too!" she whispered and kissed him. Her arms sneaked around his neck and when his hand came to rest on her hips she nestled to him even more.
VanPelt poked her head into Lisbon's office and when she saw her boss and Jane kissing she disappeared with a knowing little smile on her face. She returned to the bullpen where Rigsby and Cho were waiting for her with curious eyes.
"Everything is fine!" she showed them a thumb-up and sat back to her desk.
Right then, really everything was fine.
So, what do you think? I hope you liked it…:)
Thank you for reading and I would really much appreaciate reviews…You know I love them…;) Please tell if you liked it…or tell me if you didn't…:)
Two more days till the new episode and I feel like dying here…Why can't it just be Thursday already? :)

To explain why the weather is so changeable around here, we can take several
points of view. One involves the jet stream - that channel of strong winds that
generally blows west-to-east high over our heads. The jet stream's location
determines, in large part, how warm or cold it gets. And the bigger the dips and
bends in the jet stream, the greater the potential for storms.
Or we can take a much simpler perspective on our changeable weather. We live
about halfway between the equator and the North Pole. These vast reservoirs of
warm and cold air are always ready to do battle in the region that separates them -
the mid-latitudes, where we live. Then consider that 3000 miles of land sits
to our west - a huge source of relatively dry air, while 3000 miles of ocean lies not
too far to the east.
So with all these ingredients available - warmth, chill, dryness, moisture - it's
no surprise that great variability in our weather is exactly what we get.

The next morning the young men sent their baggage to a hotel, but they came back for a last dinner on the Aroostook.
I wish I could take you aboard an English vessel, so you could appreciate the Aroostook.
Among the most interesting objects to be met are the Ox-bow and Aroostook Falls.
But it's pleasant to think you've been so contented on the Aroostook that you hate to leave it.
They directed him to the firm dispatching the Aroostook, and Captain Jenness was at their place when the deacon appeared there.
Bill Sewall was collector of customs under me, on the Aroostook border.
During this cool excursion, he got way up among the wood-choppers and log-men of the Aroostook and Penobscot country.
The story is fully vouched for and the heads of two of the bulls may now be seen in an Aroostook town.
So I just took up with the captain of the Aroostook's offer.
The judge and the banker went into the woods from a little settlement on the Aroostook River.

A recent Crown Court case featuring the SFO has clarified the laws surrounding conspiracy to defraud
Company directors who design and pursue a lawful transaction designed to remove from the company hefty future obligations do not conspire to defraud those who might be financially affected by their doing so.
That was the conclusion of Mr Justice Hickinbottom at the Crown Court at Cardiff. In Evans and Others [2014] the court dismissed charges brought by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) against two company directors, three of their solicitors and Queen's Counsel. The particular transaction involved a company (Celtic) selling freehold open cast mining sites to a British Virgin Islands company (Oak). The aim of the transaction was to transfer away from Celtic responsibility for the cost of restoring the opencast sites, for which provision in excess of £70m had been made in Celtic's accounts.
The SFO failed in an attempt to argue that the sale of the freeholds did not actually transfer the restoration liabilities away from Celtic. It further failed to establish that the defendants had sought to defraud the enforcing authorities into believing that the transfer had removed the restoration liabilities.
The SFO then "very substantially" changed its case. The core argument advanced by the SFO was that those who dishonestly agree to act to the prejudice of others enter into a conspiracy to defraud, even if both the object of the agreement and the means by which they act pursuant to it are entirely lawful.
It is unsurprising that Mr Justice Hickinbottom rejected that proposition. That the pursuit of financial advantage through lawful means might amount to a criminal conspiracy is naturally counter-intuitive. Beyond that, commerce depends on such behavior and the fiduciary obligations of directors require it. What is more, it is difficult to comprehend how one can act dishonestly whilst conducting oneself lawfully. As the judge noted, one cannot act dishonestly by doing that which one is entitled to do.
That was not, however, the only flaw in the SFO's case. The SFO alleged that the right of the authorities to recover the costs of any restoration had been prejudiced. The difficulty with that as a basis for the prosecution case, the Judge found, was that a dishonest agreement is only criminalised where there is at least the potential to interfere with a victim's proprietary rights. On the facts of this case, the rights of the enforcing authorities were contingent and unsecured. No proprietary interest therefore existed. None could be affected by the defendants' agreement.
What should not be overlooked is that the directors were able to make commercial decisions, and to benefit their company, in the way that they did by virtue of decisions made by the enforcing authorities when Celtic was granted its licence to undertake the work.
As the court set out, it would have been open to the authorities to have imposed conditions on Celtic's licences. Conditions could have caused Celtic to retain the restoration liabilities after any sale of the freeholds. They could also have prevented Celtic from selling the sites without the authorities' approval. The SFO's attempt to prosecute was, in essence, an attempt to evade the consequences of the 'important commercial decision' made by the authorities.

Lord Jones said the announcement of the removal of tax relief for sales of firms and shares had been "swift".
All legislation could have "unintended consequences" but the government was listening to businesses, he added.
Ministers want a lower CGT rate on profits made from the sale of firms and shares held for two years or more.
Many in business say this will stifle entrepreneurship by discouraging long-term investment.
Chancellor Alistair Darling announced the CGT plans in October's pre-Budget report and is expected to give fuller details of the plans early next year.
Lord Jones, who was formerly director general of the Confederation of British Industry, said: "I think it's fair to say a lot of people were shocked by it because it was so swift and so fast."
He told BBC Radio 4's The World at One: "The trouble with legislation... is it has to apply to everybody - it's a universal application.
"And the trouble is it catches certain parts. The law of unintended consequences comes in, which was never intended.
"I hope that whatever is announced... I hope they listen to the things that needed to be consulted on. At least they are listening, which is a good thing."
'Tax hike'
The government's plans would create a flat CGT rate of 18%, removing the lower 10% rate paid on profits from the sales of businesses held for more than two years.
The government says the new regime will be simpler and fairer.
It would mean people who sell valuable personal assets, such as second homes, would pay 18% instead of up to 40% at the moment.
Conservative leader David Cameron said last month: "If the chancellor fails to abandon or radically alter his approach, we will fight this tax hike on Britain's entrepreneurs every step of the way, inside and outside Parliament."
But Mr Darling has said: "Maintaining Britain as a good place to do business means ensuring we have a tax regime that is competitive, fair and simple."

CWB Buys 10% Interest in SK Grain Handling Firm Prairie West Terminal
Date Posted: January 16, 2014
WinnipegCWB announced Jan. 16 it has acquired 2,394 (approximately 10.02 per cent) Class C shares (PWT Shares) of Prairie West Terminal Ltd (PWT), a farmer-owned grain handling organization located in west central Saskatchewan.
As a result:
(i) CWB purchased and legally and beneficially owns and exercises control or direction over 2,394 PWT Shares, or approximately 10.02% of the issued and outstanding PWT Shares; and
(ii) CWB, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mission Terminal Inc. (which directly owns 500 PWT Shares), and which may be considered to be a joint actor of CWB, beneficially owns and exercises control and direction over an aggregate of 2,894 PWT Shares, or approximately 12.11% of the issued and outstanding PWT Shares.
To the knowledge of CWB, neither CWB nor any joint actor of CWB has beneficial ownership or exclusive or shared control over any other PWT Shares or securities convertible into PWT Shares.
The PWT Shares were acquired by CWB pursuant to a private agreement. "CWB has always valued and supported farmers," said CWB president and CEO Ian White.
"This investment is a great opportunity to participate in an innovative farmer-owned organization that prioritizes farmers' interests."
CWB's investment in PWT is part of an ongoing strategy to position CWB as a strong and viable Canadian-focused grain company that includes farmer ownership.
CWB's plan for farmer ownership would allow farmers to have an equity interest in CWB after privatization, allowing farmers to benefit from CWB's business activities.
"Creating value for farmers has always been at the core of CWB," said White, "and we are always looking for new ways to do that.
"We value farmers as owners and partners.
"Both our farmer ownership plan and our investment in a farmer-oriented company like Prairie West Terminal are prime examples of that.
"We believe our success is farmers' success."

Farmington • A 41-year-old man died from critical head injuries he suffered when a pickup truck at a Farmington demolition derby fell on him.
Davis County sheriff's Sgt. DeeAnn Servey confirmed Thursday morning that Bren Ewing, 41, of Hooper, had passed away overnight at McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, where he had been airlifted Wednesday evening from the Davis County Fairgrounds.
Ewing, a member of the Intrepid Motorsports safety team, was attempting to aid the driver of the pickup after it was left on its side following a collision with an SUV on Wednesday night.
As Ewing worked to shut off fuel and help the driver get out, the truck's weight shifted, and it fell on him.

AMHERST, MA - In a game that featured 11 ties and 22 lead changes, the fourth-ranked Amherst College men's basketball team survived one of its sternest tests of the season on Tuesday night, eaking out a hard-fought 65-61 non-league win over visiting Brandeis University (11-7). Amherst junior guard John Bedford (Ridgewood, NJ) led the way with 19 points, nine rebounds, four blocks, three steals and three assists, while senior co-captain Andrew Schiel (Wayne, PA) added his first double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 boards.
Amherst (17-1) claimed the largest lead of the first half when Schiel hit a bank shot and Bedford nailed a coast-to-coast runner for an 18-14 edge 9:05 into the game. Brandeis, which came to LeFrak Gymnasium having won five of its last six games, battled back with a 7-0 flurry for a 21-18 lead, capped by a Florian Rexhepi (Skopje, Macedonia) finger roll with 8:11 on the clock. After Amherst senior sharpshooter Russell Lee (Lorton, VA) knotted the score with a three-pointer from NBA range, the two teams traded buckets for the majority of the next seven minutes until Brandeis managed a late 4-0 run on a pair of layups by rookie forward Steve DeLuca (Merrimack, NH) for a 36-33 advantage at the break.
The Jeffs came out smoking in the second half, nailing each of their first four field goal attempts en route to a 46-41 cushion with 15:59 remaining. But they went cold shortly thereafter, missing 12 of 14 tries during a frustrating seven-minute span that saw Brandies jump out to a five-point lead, 55-50, on a baseline runner by Rexhepi. Amherst managed to regain composure, thanks in part to rookie point guard Andrew Olson's (San Diego, CA) deft ball-handling, and the host Jeffs finished the game with a 15-6 spurt, highlighted by a backbreaking 8-0 mini-run in which Bedford drained a pair of clutch trifectas and Lee splashed a baseline floater to regain the lead for good.
Brandeis would not go away quietly, however. With 2:17 remaining, the pesky Rexhepi brought the Judges within two points, 63-61, with his seventh bucket of the night, and inside the final minute, Brandeis senior center Bryan Lambert (Auburn, ME) had a chance to knot the score at 63-63 but clanked the front end of a one-and-one. Still, with 6.6 seconds on the clock, Brandeis had the ball and a chance to tie (or take the lead) yet again, but first-year forward Rocco Toppi (Portland, ME) misfired from behind the arc. Schiel grabbed the rebound, and Olson calmly sank a pair of free throws in the waning moments to ice the win.
Olson turned in one of the best games of his young collegiate career, dishing out a season-high eight assists to go along with nine points on 2-for-3 shooting. Lee was stellar as well with 13 points, three assists and three steals.
Rexhepi and Lambert finished with 15 points apiece for Brandeis. Rookie point guard Kwame Graves Fulgham (Amherst, MA), who led nearby Amherst Regional High School to a state championship in 2003, was similarly impressive with eight points, six rebounds and six assists.
Amherst returns to action Friday at 7:30 p.m. against visiting NESCAC and Little Three rival Williams.

What picture pops into your mind when you hear the word "quilt?" Is it a picture of the old quilt you used to have picnics on as a child? Is it a picture of a quilt on a bed made by a loved one? Or is it a wall hanging you saw somewhere?
A quilt means different things to different people. There used to be strict guidelines when it came to quilts. For instance, it had to be made out of fabric — preferably cotton. It had to have batting and had to be three layers. The only acceptable method for quilting was hand-stitched or tied.
Now quilts are made with many different materials, not necessarily fabric, and they can be fastened together without stitching at all. Some quilters don't consider these works quilts. So you can see, the world of quilting is expanding into the art field.
The last trend in quilting that I'm aware of is called the modern quilt. My quilting friends and I have spent several hours trying to figure out what exactly a modern quilt is. When we figure it out, I'll let you know.
Let's start at the beginning. Where did quilting start? An Internet search tells me that European and Asian crusaders and warriors had quilted garments under their armor. That heavy metal draped over a body must have hurt.
The earliest known surviving quilt is the "Tristan Quilt" made in about 1360 in Sicily. Russia had the oldest example in existence — a quilted linen carpet found in a Mongolian cave, and is now in St. Petersburg. Probably made to protect the cave's inhabitants from the cold cave floor. Not what we usually think of as a "quilt."
In America, quilts were common in the late 18th century. Only very rich ladies had the time and materials to make quilts, which were hand-pieced and embroidered using velvets and satins. These labor-intensive quilts are still around today, and I know ladies who love to make Victorian quilts out of men's silk ties.
And, of course, we are all familiar with how the pioneer women saved every little scrap of cloth and clothing to piece together quilts to keep their families warm. Making quilts for these ladies was a necessity, not a luxury. Batting in their quilts could be anything from an old blanket to hand-carded cotton, and sometimes even old newspapers.
Stories of quilting bees gathering to quilt all day abound. Having lived in Hawaii in the early 1980s, where I caught what is called "Quilt Pox," I quickly learned that missionaries introduced quilting to the natives. Teaching quilting was a way for the missionaries to interact with women and convert them to Christianity. The native women quickly changed the standard piecing method of quilting taught by the missionaries into their own version, using the beautiful plants and animals around them to fashion their own designs, what we know as Hawaiian quilts.
With the arrival of the sewing machine, things really got interesting.
Quilters come from all walks of life. They're young and old, rich and poor, of all religions and cultures. Some are genuine artists, and create works of art, while others are self-taught and make beautiful quilts for each baby born into their family. Quilters are generous with their advice, encouragement, and most of all, their time. If you know a quilter, you are very lucky.

1st Year Anniversary: PAPER Gift Idea
This book was cool because it allows you to choose the photos that you want to appear in the book. When you do pick, the text of the instagram also appears in the book, yet you are able to edit/delete/add any additional text. I kept KT's quotes on the bottom of each photo, only so it was more personal to them.
Her TOP 3 Pieces of Advice
1. Learn each other's pet peeves and do what you can to avoid your +1's peeves!
3. Plan date nights. If you don't make a concerted effort to plan & enjoy date nights together, life will get in the way and date nights won't happen.
Beyond the tips of advice, Katie also wanted to dish on the 2 most ANNOYING questions that seemed to pop off throughout the honeymoon stage.
1. "How's married life?" (Oops! I asked her that exact question at least 12 times in the first 3 months… #noted). She says you and your husband should have a clever answer because you'll be facing this question A LOT.
2. "When are you having kids?" <– I'm not even sure if there is a right answer to this one. Awkward.
And on that note, Happy 1st Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Smith! Can't wait to see what year #2 has in store for you two adventurous lovebirds.

Had I not already done this for my hubby's birthday, I would have probably made a coupon book for our paper anniversary. Love how easy it is to customize the coupons into things that fit your husbands/the couples interests. I've also seen/made several ideas for prints that could be used as a first anniversary gifts such as a marriage rules print. I'm sure you ladies will find that what makes each marriage work can be vastly different which I think is what makes that kind of print so fun. We will be celebrating our second anniversary Nov 2nd. I'm hoping I'll have some kind of an idea for a cotton gift by then. LOL↓
DIY Playbook
Happy Anniversary Brittany!! Love those ideas.. thanks so much for sharing!
You'll have to keep us updated on that cotton gift.. seems way harder than "paper". Good luck! xo
DIY Playbook
A coupon book is an awesome idea, as well as the Marriage Rules print. Love them both!
Cotton??? Hmmmm. That one may be a bit tricky! Keep us updated if you come up with something good!
There are tons of adorable personalized throw pillows on Etsy that would make a great cotton second anniversary gift. My husband on the other hand frequently likes to refer to my throw pillows as "useless pillows" so I don't think he would be too thrilled with that gift.
DIY Playbook
Brittany, our guys share the same sentiment. They just don't understand our love for throw pillows. Ha!
Lori Baker
My brother just gave his wife a sketch of her wedding dress by My Dreamlines. It was breathtaking. I have a sketch too, which my husband gave to me on our wedding day.↓

Love that idea, Lori!

On Aug. 1, Cal State Fullerton becomes the first smoke-free campus in the California State University system. From that day forward, smoking of tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes and e-cigarettes) are prohibited on all California State University, Fullerton, property, including off-site facilities, such as the Cal State Fullerton Irvine Campus, College Park, Fullerton Arboretum and elsewhere. President's Directive No. 18, which outlines the policy, is available online for more information.
In keeping with the new policy, all ashtrays have been removed from campus, and new signage is being posted throughout campus.
With the implementation of this policy, Cal State Fullerton joins more than 1,000 colleges and universities nationally that have adopted similar bans.
