Chief Leschi senior and 2012 Daffodil Festival Royalty Alexandria Cole has been found dead.
The beautiful, smart young woman was on the brink of graduating from Chief Leschi High School after a successful academic career, and had a reputation for being intelligent, kind, and proud of her Native American Heritage.
The Quinault tribal member was the daughter of Christina Cole, and spent much time with her grandmother and grandfather Barbara and Joe Hipp.
Alexandria spent her time outside of class playing volleyball, helping with school leadership activities, and had taken up boxing – one of her beloved grandfather's talents.
Following graduation, Alexandria had planned to attend University of Washington to become a registered nurse.
Alexandria Cole was selected by her school as their Daffodil Festival Princess in October, and was in the midst of enjoying the many duties and public appearances required of the Daffodil Court this spring. The 79th Grand Floral Parade scheduled for April 14 will still go on.
The details of her death are still unknown at this time, and are being investigated by Puyallup Tribal Police, the FBI and the Pierce County Medical Examiner.

" 2 Chr 7:14 . Prayer is also a key to revival.....

Republican senators plan to introduce a nonbinding resolution pledging military, economic and diplomatic backing for Israel should it strike Iran.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he and Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) were drafting the resolution for introduction next month in the Senate.
The resolution would underscore the Senate's hopes for peace and for sanctions to force Iran to make its nuclear program more transparent, Graham said. "But in the event Israel had to take preventive action, we would have their back." — jta

NASA's latest Moon mission will end on Monday — not with a whimper, but a splat.
Two splats, actually.
Ebb and Flow, two space probes the size of washing machines that have been orbiting the Moon and measuring its gravity field, will perform an orchestrated death plunge on Monday, crashing into the body's dark side.
The exercise will not be for the advance of science, but rather something of a garbage-disposal operation, to make sure that the probes — which are running out of fuel — do not come to rest in a historically significant place, like on Neil Armstrong's footprints.
The Moon has been affronted this way many times before, especially during the space race of the 1960s, but NASA is now trying to dispose of its litter more carefully.
This time, the first impact will come 40 seconds past 5:38 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Dec. 17 when Ebb slams into a mountain near the Moon's north pole at 3,760 miles per hour. The second, from Ebb's twin, Flow, will come 20 seconds later.
Unfortunately, since the action will happen on the dark side of the Moon, there will be nothing for earthlings to see.
"We're not expecting a flash that is visible from Earth," Maria T. Zuber, the mission's primary investigator, said Thursday during a telephone news conference.
That is all by design as NASA wraps up its Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory mission, or Grail, for short.
To map the gravity, the two spacecraft are in an orbit passing over the Moon's north and south poles. They pass over all parts of the lunar surface as the Moon rotates below.
If the probes' fuel ran out and their orbits decayed, they could crash anywhere on the Moon, including a slim chance — eight in one million — that one of them could obliterate those famous footprints or another historic site.
With the spacecraft guided into a mountain, the chances are zero.
Even in their demise, however, Ebb and Flow may be able to aid the cause of science. Another of NASA's spacecraft, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, will pass over the crash sites, and scientists hope that they will be able to tell something about the mountain — which is a remnant of a crater rim — from the gouges created by Ebb and Flow.
Two Space Probes to Crash, Intentionally, on Moon

A COUPLE have spoken of their joy after winning an 18- month battle to stop their grand-daughter being forced into adoption.
Lee and Katrina Parker were not told by Essex County Council of its intention to take baby India from her mother, who had mental health problems.
When the county council then filed an order to halt their plans to secure custody, Mr and Mrs Parker, of Colchester, were unaware they could appeal to the family courts until four days before the deadline.
The council's decision to block the Parkers' custody bid left a judge at Chelmsford County Court "deeply troubled", and he allowed them to appeal.
After 18 months of meetings, assessments and court hearings, the Parkers were finally made full-time carers of India, now two.
A six-month transition period ended last week, leaving the family able to restart their lives.
Mrs Parker said: "Now we don't have to go to court, talk to solicitors, or do anything like that and that's amazing.
"We're just starting to be able to make plans."
India was born to the Parkers' daughter in November 2011.
Two months later, Essex County Council launched an attempt to remove her from the care of her mother, who had been placed in a mental health unit.
India's mother's relationship with the Parkers had broken down and they only discovered social services planned to place India in adoption through a solicitor they hired to establish regular contact with her.
A custody battle was launched, but Mrs Parker claimed Essex County Council did everything possible to block their application.
She said: "They wanted her adopted. It seemed they were throwing every spanner in the works".
Assessments by social workers claimed there were "chaotic and hectic living arrangements"
at the Parkers' home, where they live with six of their seven children.
In October 2012, Essex County Council successfully applied to have the Parkers removed from the case.
At the same time, India's mother lost her bid to care for her.
The Parkers belatedly discovered their right to appeal, which was allowed the following month.
While the case was ongoing, India lived with foster parents described by Mrs Parker as "fabulous".
Mrs Parker said the couple were overjoyed at being able to raise India, who sees her mother once a month.
She said: "India is laid back, easy-going and happy. She's an absolute dream."
'India is an absolute dream.
"She's slotted straight in and we just feel she's at home now."
A spokesman for Essex County Council said: "This case involved very complex and finely-balanced decisions, which took account of a range of professional advice.
"As the case progressed, we were able to change our position to support these grandparents, but at all times the final decision was one to be taken by the courts.
"The council is providing financial support to the grandparents to help them care for their granddaughter under the Special Guardianship Order."

PASADENA - Backed by a prominent civil-rights group and a depth of resources, Pasadena resident Molly Munger plans to save California public education with a tax initiative aimed at annually raking in more than $10 billion.
That's unless two separate tax initiatives on the ballot - one backed by the Gov. Jerry Brown, and another by organized labor - make all three initiatives an easy target for anti-tax hawks like the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Munger, a civil-rights attorney whose father, Charles, helped found Berkshire Hathaway with Warren Buffett, has long been an advocate for public education.
She has watched fiscal bloodletting in California's education budgeting and has said enough is enough.
"Our K-12 funding ranks 47th, according to the latest NEA (National Education Association) ranking," Munger said. "In a state where there is so much prosperity and so much capacity to fund education," California should "fund education above the level of Alabama and Mississippi."
"When you look at the numbers and you see closed libraries and locked-up playgrounds, people say this is not a bloated wasteful system - this is a system that is cut to the bone," Munger added.
The initiative needs to collect 504,000 valid signatures by late April to qualify for the November ballot.
Munger serves on the board of directors of the Advancement Project, a civil-rights group whose members include Harry Belafonte.
The Advancement Project and Munger aren't alone in pushing a tax initiative for the November ballot.
Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed a $7 billion annual tax increase for the general budget, with the normal 40 percent going to K-12 public education.
The millionaires' tax plan, proposed by the California Federation of Teachers, would bring in $6 billion to 9.5 billion per year, with 36 percent to K-12 education.
And with so many tax initiatives on the ballot, even Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he worries about blowback from tax-weary voters.
Local school leaders see the support for tax initiatives supporting education, but see that passage of any of the three tax initiatives is far from a foregone conclusion.
"All the regular voters say they support public education, but the top consultants in Sacramento say the competing tax measures may cancel out," said Ramon Miramontes, a Pasadena Unified School District board member.
According to the Field Poll, Brown's initiative has support in the high 50s, the teachers' initiative above 60 percent, while Munger's plan polls in the high 40s.
In polling done by Mark Mellman, Munger's initiative polls in the high 50s.
But while all three initiatives enjoy some support from education leaders, PUSD board member Scott Phelps sees Brown's plan as "a budget-balancing technique."
Conservatives from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association have pounced on the division between the progressive tax measures.
"From a political perspective, this could inure to the benefit of fiscal conservatives like us," HJTA President Jon Coupal said. "I wouldn't say I'm cheering them on, but if they fail to present a united front, it could benefit us."
Meanwhile, Munger has remained tight-lipped about Brown's tax initiative.
"We are trying not to say anything negative about the governor's proposal," Munger said. "Let me say that it's very vulnerable."
Munger wouldn't clarify what she meant by "vulnerable."
Munger has a long history of supporting public education. She and her father, who is also the publisher of the Los Angeles Daily Journal, helped finance the campaign for Pasadena Unified School District's Measure CC parcel tax initiative in 2010.
Ultimately, Pasadena voters rejected Measure CC.
Munger's newest tax plan is simple: Raise personal income taxes on all Californians.
The conservative estimates are that Munger's plan could raise an additional $10 billion in tax revenue for schools in the first year and increase of 7 percent a year in revenues each year as the economy recovers, Munger said.
The state's wealthiest would pay the lion's share of the tax.
"The way our tax proposal works, it gets 3 percent of the money from the bottom half of our income-tax payers, and 97 percent of the money comes from people in the top half of income-tax payers," Munger said.
But that doesn't come without some pain.
A dual-income household earning $70,000 per year would pay an additional $530 per year in state taxes, which can be deducted from the same couple's federal taxes.
PUSD board member Renatta Cooper, who supports Munger's plan, acknowledges the proposal's shared sacrifice might be its undoing.
"Molly Munger believes that everyone has to contribute to it, which might be a real Achilles' heel," Cooper said.
If passed, Munger's initiative would be locked away in a separate account from the state's general fund. The money would flow to local school district in grants for individual schools. The money can't be spent on salary and benefits and community meetings must be held at each school to discuss how the money will be spent.
Even as Munger's proposal includes oversight and shared burden in funding public schools, Phelps has asked policy makers to approach a political third rail for what he considers a more reliable funding source.
"I want a stable funding stream; you have got to look at property taxes," Phelps said.
He wants California to take a long look at Proposition 13, the 1978 ballot initiative that severely restricted the rate at which property taxes increase.
Despite the reluctance by politicians to tinker with Proposition 13, long referred to as the third rail of California politics, Phelps advocates a split-roll tax scheme that would hike property-tax rates for commercial real estate.
He also wants lawmakers to look at additional sources of tax revenue.
"My question is, where is the oil severance tax? We have ground properties," Phelps said.
Staff Writer Steve Harmon of the Bay Area News Group contributed to this report.

I don't have the heated steering wheel, but I'm wondering, do you usually leave it on the whole time you're driving? For example I turn off my heated seats after 10 minutes or so, after the cabin has warmed up. Point is, I wonder if most people turn off the wheel after a few minutes also, making the "stay on" a moot point. You'd have to turn it on next time anyway.

Secretary of State Colin Powell has stressed that opposition continues in Washington to the route of the fence, contrary to the efforts of the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem to suggest that Mr Sharon and President George Bush had reached an understanding on the matter. Mr Powell reiterated that no agreement had been reached.
The barrier, of which the first 130-kilometre section was completed last week, was at the top of the agenda last week when Mr Bush met Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.
After the meeting, Mr Bush described the fence as a "problem" for Middle East peace and asked Mr Sharon to halt work on it. Mr Sharon shrugged off the request and vowed that work would continue.
Mr Bush appeared to back down when he said he realised that the issue was sensitive and made no firm commitment to try to influence Israel's thinking on the route.

Oil workers' strike costs $17 million in daily losses
Canadian Nexen left Hadramout's Al-Masila field last December.
The strike has stopped the exportation of around 160,000 barrels of oil from Al-Masila, Yemen's major field, according to a source at an oil company in Hadramout.
"No doubt, this has seriously impacted Yemen. It is depriving Yemen's budget of around $17.5 million every day, with 160,000 barrels halted," Dr. Mohamed Jubran, a professor of economics and financial analysis at the University of Sana'a told the Yemen Times.
This halt will also negatively affect the country's public budget, as the government will be obliged to take loans to cover expenditures, according to Jubran.
He also added the payments and trade balance will be impacted, as the incoming cash flow will be lower than that of outgoing cash.
A Total spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday that his company - which is one of the operators at Al-Masila field, with a share of 70,000 barrels day — had to halt production after workers at the newly established company went on strike.
A source from another oil company explained that Total stopped its production at block 10 because the workers' strike at Petromasila had suspended output exportation.
Jubran criticized the strike, saying "they should demand rights from Canadian Nexen. Their present actions only punish their country."
A statement released by the Petromasila Company workers' union read that corruption at the Yemen's Oil Ministry and Oil Exploration Authority is behind the bad situation at the newly established company.
"They [the Oil Ministry and Oil Exploration Authority] have allowed Nexen to leave the block without paying its financial commitment," read the workers' statement.
"Despite communication from the workers' union to the Oil Ministry not to let Nexen leave until it covers its financial and technical obligations, Nexen left without paying," the statement read. "We therefore resorted to our legal right, which is to strike."

In reporting a 188 per cent increase in interim profit on Thursday, Evolution – which formed through the merger of Conquest Mining and Catalpa Resources in 2011 – said it expected to start paying a dividend from the end of this financial year.
The dividend will be equivalent to 2 per cent of the company's gold production multiplied by the average gold price received during the reporting period.
Evolution executive chairman
Following suit
North American gold major
The rise of investor interest in exchange traded gold funds, which do not carry the production risks that gold companies do, has been identified as one explanation for the phenomenon.
Evolution reported an underlying profit of $40.7 million for the six months to December 31, up from $14.1 million in the previous corresponding period.
The company's cash reserves fell by $92.6 million to $49.2 million over the six months, reflecting a period of big investment in development and growth capital at its mines in Queensland and Western Australia.
Evolution shares were down 5.5¢ to $1.295 in early afternoon trade on Thursday.

Ok, so I went to Disneyland a few weeks back and when I met up with my sister(We split up and went to different rides), she said, "Don't get a burger in Critter Country" and I thought, ok... but after a while, I got really hungry and I really wanted some food. I went to the Thunder Ranch BBQ but it was too expensive(I was with my friend, so two people). So for next time, I want to know, where's a good place the get some meat for a good price in Disneyland?

[Question] Yummy Foods Please! :Dsigpic August 1969, I remember it like it was yesterday.
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
I like the corn dogs (red truck on Main Street or Stage Door Cafe). Not precisely inexpensive but they are good.
Tomorrowland Terrace offers slightly better grade hamburgers these days, the angus ones, or at least the toppings and meat is a little higher quality.when the spooks have a midnight jamboree....
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
Whenever I wanted a cheap meal I always went to Pluto's Dog House in Toontown for a hot dog.
Not extremely filling but the price was fair. They used to be 50 cents cheaper from the moving carts/vendors around fantasyland but I didn't see any last time I was there, right before new years.sigpic

Re: Yummy Foods Please!
I have not had an issue with the burgers at the Hungry Bear in Critter Country, sorry that your sister does.
To my knowledge, since it is basically one big "institution", as far as I know burgers at Criter Country will be the same as the ones used at Tomorrowland or any or the other "walk up service" style of eateries.
Anyway...for meat eaters...
I enjoy the food at the Rancho del Zocalo including the Carne Asada
A corn dog or turkey leg on mainstreet
The sandwiches at Boudines in DCA are good
The hot dogs and sausages at Award Weiners are good too (also DCA)
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
I recently had the half chicken mean at Cocina Cocamonga! And I was very impressed! You get a whole half of a chicken season with lime! beans, rice, toppings and tortillas for around $13. It was definitely good, filling and worth the price. I would also suggest the carne asada/tamale plate. It's also very good, but not as much as the half chicken plate. Also TT and Village haus just recently switched to angus, so they might be good (i have yet to try them). But if it's price your worried about then just go out to mcdonalds. It's a short walk from the resort.
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
I like taste pilots grill for their ribs (They Got Ribs!).
I usually get the 3 piece with fries and slaw. It's about 10 bucks, which is not bad a deal IMO.
I also agree with Rancho Del Zolaco's Carne Asada plate.
There is also the bbq place in big thunder ranch, but I've never tried it
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
Clamchowder breadbowls is by far the best thing in the world
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
We like to go to Uva bar DTD for the beef burger or lamb burger. Not cheap, but good.
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
It's not "in" Disneyland, but the La Brea Bakery just outside the security checkpoints is a good moderate priced restaurant. We like to go there to get out of the park and the food is very good. Good people watching area too. Fountain goes off often. Waiters and waitresses are very well trained. Two people can spend about $25.00.I am old. But still love Disneyland.
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
There are some VERY tasty soups and salads at the Pacific Wharf Cafe. I could soooooooooooo go for a Sonoma chicken salad right now...mmmmmmm...
Re: Yummy Foods Please!
The kabobs at the Bengal BBQ in Adventureland are pretty dang good, and aren't crazy expensive.

From the wedding kiss which lit up Instagram, to the bevy of celebrities in attendance, the grandeur wedding of Kanye and Kim will go down as historic. Kanye's protege, Big Sean, went far enough to call the wedding a "classic" during his interview with The Breakfast Club on KUBE 93.
"It was really pretty classic man but the coverage was the craziest part," Big Sean said when asked about the wedding. "There was helicopters flying around. It felt like the royal family but it was a beautiful thing. They came in and kept it classic."
As far as music is concerned, the Detroit rapper said he's currently working with Chris Brown on a few songs.
"I was with him the day before in the studio," he said. "It's been a while since me and him made something but we got a couple songs in the works that's sounding really good."
Sean has been diligently working on his new album, which he said would feature Drake and possibly Rihanna, after they were spotted together in the studio. Be on the lookout for that and check out his interview below.

Important Points You Should Know About Ganoderma
In Asia, ganoderma has been used for so many years now to cure certain health problems. It is a unique type of mushroom that is known for its rich ability for bioremediation. It has become so important in Asia and now spread to many other nations around the world with its popularity fast rising.
Ganoderma is also better known as Reishi or Lingzhi in the Chinese dialect. Several uses have been given to this member of the kingdom Fungi. The roles played by the products are many and have been practiced over the centuries in Asia. Most people still trust this mushroom to cure their health problems. One thing that is attributed to reishi is its ability to fight carcinogens. It has been known to act as an anticancer for various types of cancer. Many people thus look for it to protect them against cancer, an attribute that very few products have been known to possess.
It also is antifungal and antiviral. This is used to keep off the problems that are brought about by viruses and fungi whenever they attack. The two are disease causing components that may bring huge problems if not curbed as early as possible. Thanks to this, it is possible to stay safe from the two.
Reishi coffee has very many benefits that you would love to enjoy. It makes black coffee made of Lingzhi and acts the same way as normal coffee. It comes with all the merits associated with the mushroom and many take it regularly to benefit from the contents.
Companies have decided to include it to the beverage sector as a way of administering the merits to consumers. Organo Gold is a world renowned beverage maker and today they make ganoderma coffee for clients across the world. It is black with all the intended functions of an ideal beverage.
A number of side-effects of ganoderma have been recorded by several researches. One of them is bleeding, especially through the nose. There are a number of people that are vulnerable to the effects of this mushroom and will be affected after using any of the products for over three months.
Reason for too much bleeding due to use of ganoderma is the fact that it hinders clotting of blood. This leaves you also very vulnerable to cuts as clotting becomes very hard. This is a very dangerous predisposing effect that many people would not want to affect them no matter the benefits.
Lingzhi is also know to react with medicine and causes secondary problems. If you take medicine that is meant to improve blood clotting and at the same time you use Lingzhi, then there is going to be a problem. Ensure that you do not mix Lingzhi with such drugs for whatever reasons.
Stay informed all the time for you to wisely use ganoderma as required and still be on the safe path. Make sure that you consult from those with a good knowledge concerning Lingzhi before using it. Negative effects are best kept away by following such a step.
If you want to read all the wonderful information about Ganoderma, then check out this website. More information about this wonderful beverage can be read on http://www.eganoderma.com/ .

Dear Friends: I have mentioned our Scripture study group in SRH before. Our study group consists of people from the south, north and east of India. One south Indian person is really from Bombay. One of us hosted a visitor, who asked, "But how do you manage to get along?". I admit that we never thought of not getting along, we were too busy trying to make the most of our studies. But his question told us that we have unknowingly been trading in the common ground that God has given us, in the form of Scriptures. And, what a wonderful common ground it is! OM vishnus.h nayatu (may God lead us). With best regards, Dhruba.

Bryant goalie Gunnar Waldt played while limping with an apparent leg injury, making 14 saves in the Bulldogs' 9-8 win against Siena in the NCAA play-in game Wednesday.
Leading the offense was freshman Tucker James and sophomore Shane Morrell, who each had two goals and an assist.
Bryant and Siena began the game with a sloppy 11 turnovers, and it took a run in the third quarter the Bryant to take the game after a sluggish start.
Siena would come out of the first quarter with a 3-2 lead with goals by Nate Berry, Colin Clive and Jordan Barlow. The Saints were unlucky, hitting three pipes in the period as Bryant players were having issues finding their legs.
The second quarter saw each team score a single goal. with Siena's Kyle Curry netting one and Bryant long stick midfielder Cody O'Donnell took advantage of a fast-break opportunity to score a goal.
Bryant sophomore goalie Waldt made a save on a Richie Hurley with his right leg at the 5:26 mark of the second quarter. Play had to be stopped to attend to Waldt on the field, who was visibly injured. Waldt walked off the field under his power and returned to the game after the subsequent clear from the Bulldogs.
Bryant went into the halftime break trailing 4-3 and looking like as if it was not the same team that entered the game with a 14-4 record. Even All-America face-off man Kevin Massa had struggled in the first half, as he was beaten by Casey Dowd on 5 of 9 draws.
"We saw it in the warmup that we were fatigued mentality and making uncharacteristic mistakes. We were making mistakes that we haven't made all year," coach Mike Pressler said.
Bryant cut down on these mistakes in the second half, committing six turnovers compared with 10 in the first half.
Siena entered the third stanza with an EMO for the first 51 seconds. After a solid Waldt save on Nate Berry and the following clear, Bryant would go on its first EMO of the game as Kyle Curry got called for offsides.
The Bulldogs took advantage of the man advantage, as James Tucker finished on the crease after a great pass from Morrell to tie the game at 4.
Morrell gave Bryant the lead at 5-4 with his 40th goal of the season as he worked his way to the crease beating Siena's Tommy Cordts. The Bulldogs were able to expand the lead to 6-4 when Dan Sipperly came off a screen and Alex Zomerfeld found him all alone.
Bryant's Pressler called this three-goal run by the Bulldogs the "turning point of the game" as it got the momentum on the side of the raucous Bryant crowd.
Siena would pull within a goal at 6-5 on a Kyle Curry EMO goal.
The fourth quarter started with a Tucker James goal 2:16 into the stanza as the Bulldogs expanded their lead to 7-5. Siena immediately came back with a Conor Prunty low shot that eluded Waldt, and Cousin blasted a shot that got a piece of Waldt to tie the game at 7 at the 10:40 mark.
The game would remain tied until Colin Dunster beat Cordts with a bounce shot to let the Bulldogs regain the lead. Morrell off a Massa face-off win scored 29 seconds later to make it 9-7.
Siena would pull back within a goal on a Jordan Barlow goal from on the crease with 2:47 left setting up a great finish to the game.
Massa would win his sixth draw of the seven taken in the fourth quarter to give the Bulldogs possession. Bryant eventually worked the ball around to Collins Gantz. He proceeded to take a high shot on Cordts, which was saved.
Siena grabbed the ball and quickly got into the offensive box calling a timeout with 49 seconds left on the clock.
The Saints worked the ball around the box until Prunty ripped off a shot from 10 yards out that deflected off of Waldt's chest with 26 seconds left. Siena picked up the groundball, and Prunty ripped another one off high of the cage with 14 seconds left.
Bryant called a timeout as the ball went out of play to set up their defense for the final 14 seconds of the game but giving Siena's coaches a chance to set up a final play.
Siena came out of the timeout and found Kyle Curry who took a shot from eight yards out at the cage but was blocked by a Bulldog defender allowing the clock to run out and give Bryant the 9-8 victory.
"We got a look that we wanted with Richie having the ball and Kyle got a good look at it," said Siena coach John Svec on the final 30 seconds of the game.
Pressler is looking forward to Sunday's game against Syracuse.
"We are 15-4 heading into the Syracuse game. We have proven ourselves with our non-conference wins this year with Bucknell, Albany, Drexel, and now Siena so we are 4-0 against tourney teams. We are a better team overall, we are deeper, more experienced, and better offensively than last year. Plus we bring back two of our outstanding players from last year's game at the dome in Gunnar Waldt and Kevin Massa.
Note: This game was the first NCAA Division I home game hosted by Bryant University since they moved up to DI.


text: Okay. I admit it, I'm hooked on doing 1:1 stuff. Well, considering that the 100th centennial of the sinking of the Titanic is right around the corner, I obviously have to do something for it (hell, I'm even breaking my usual schedule between ponies and regular paper modeling). I had actually started planning this for about a year now. I'd considered many things, from the ship's reciprocating engines to lifeboat no.6. I didn't want to do the Titanic herself, because a) I'm sure a lot of other people might be doing that, and mostly b) really, who can beat Ralph Currell's Titanic? So, after some careful thinking, I decided on doing the lifevest. It wasn't too specific or mundane, nor would it be that detached from the accident itself, not just related to the ship. so, on to the pics: a sketch of the lifevest that I drew for personal reference: pages one and two of parts: More pics to come as I draw up more parts.

Advice for MAC Usersby various players
The following advice was given by players regarding playing Legends using a MAC. Harlequin Games takes no responsibility for the accuracy of this advice, or the links referred to.
Parallels is an option. You have to provide a Windows operating system, but for LPE it can be an inexpensive one. A cheaper solution is CrossOver, which will run some Windows applications (including LPE) on a Mac. An even-cheaper solution is to run under mono on top of Linux, but if the player had to ask, it's probably a bad idea to try this.
I'm happier with Parallels, but Crossover is a lot cheaper, and is fairly painless. The cost is $60. (It was $40 when I got it five years ago.) They have a free 14-day trial download, so it can be tried out without risk.
1. Install Crossover.
Browse to https://www.codeweavers.com/store/, which has links for the product (Crossover Mac) and the free-download option. I downloaded the trial version and unzipped it, and copied the .app file into the Applications directory. (I had an earlier version of Crossover installed, so your installation experience might be a bit different.) You may have to give yourself permission to download and/or open the file.
2. Install LPE.
Downloaded the latest version of the LPE from the harlequin website. Unzipped the LPE zip file in the directory in which I wanted it.
3. Open LPE with Crossover.
Crossover expects an installer. If you're just pointing it at an executable, it's a bit more work. The instructions that follow were based on https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/run_only.
a. Start Crossover (by double-clicking on the downloaded app).
b. Once it's running, go to the 'Bottle' menu and select 'New Bottle'. (A bottle is basically a pocket universe that sits on a Mac disk and thinks it's a Windows computer.) It'll prompt you for the name of your bottle (e.g. 'Legends') and the OS. I picked 'XP' because it was the default, and seemed safest.
c. When it's done, a new bottle will show in your Crossover window with an icon labeled 'run command'. Double-click on 'Run Command' or go to the Bottle menu and select 'Run Command'. In either case you'll be prompted as to which bottle to use (e.g., the one you just created) and what to run. For the latter, click on 'browse' and browse to your LPE directory and select 'LPE.exe'. Pick it. You also have a 'save command as launcher' option, which you might as well click: That'll create a shortcut in that bottle in the Crossover window.
That's pretty-much it. If you use the 'run' option or if you double-click on the LPE shortcut, or if you go to LPE.exe on your Mac disk, right-click you'll get LPE running. (You can also browse to LPE.exe on your Mac disk, right-click and select open-with Crossover, and that'll start Crossover too. The open-with option also launches something that tries to set up any Windows software it can find in Crossover. If you close that and click on Crossover in your dock, you'll be in Crossover.)
Your LPE has the notion that it's on your Y: drive, but for your purposes the files are where you put them on the Mac. E.g., you copy turns to the UNPACK directory of the LPE directory you unzip and you find uploads in the UPLOADS directory, etc.
The map looks the same as it does on Windows. The database browser and turn editor have a slightly-different look and feel. (See attached screenshot.) If this is an issue, I think it may be addressable by downloading and installing some X11 components.

I use Virtual Box to emulate a x86 (ie PC) computer. Then you have to actually install a Windows operating system. I used an old copy of Windows XP, that i had lying around
Virtual Box is OPEN SOURCE but developed by Sun Microsystems. So it is pretty good and FREE!!!! http://www.virtualbox.org
I've never had any problems running LPE or the other user programs developed for Legends, such as ItemLister etc
Hope that helps
I run Win7 in a virtual drive in a program called Parallels (http://www.parallels.com) but it costs $79.00(US) on my MacBook Pro.
There are a few freebie VM's out there you can use as well.
I run the Mono project (http://www.mono-project.com) on my Linux desktop (CentOS) which can beat the LPE into submission but it's not as easy.

The term "bloodless medicine" refers to a variety of techniques that allow a patient to be treated without blood transfusions. This means that the patient does not receive any major blood products that have been stored or provided by donors.
You may wish to request bloodless medicine techniques if you are scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure. In addition, some of these techniques can be applied to patients who have suffered traumatic injuries.
Bloodless techniques may be performed before, during, and after your surgery, and may include a combination of diet, medication, surgical techniques, and other strategies. Some of the common goals are to:
Bloodless medicine is growing
The practice of bloodless medicine is growing by leaps and bounds. In early 1990, you would have been able to choose from only a small number of medical centers providing bloodless health care. By 1996, you could have chosen from about 76 centers. Today, more than 100 American medical centers are known for providing bloodless care, and even more centers are exploring the technologies and practices that will make such care a regular option for interested patients. Overall, health care practitioners are making efforts to avoid the use of blood products whenever possible, even in centers that do not specifically focus on bloodless medicine.

| To support the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act and assist in defining Gluten-Free please see my comments below.
1. Gluten-free on a food label should mean the product does not contain any source of gluten and has not been contaminated with gluten through other means. All derivatives of ingredients should be revealed.
2. Today I read every ingredient on every food product. When in question with things such as modified food starch or natural flavorings I have to contact the manufacturer. This clearly takes time and is inconvenient. Many time I have to forego the product since verifying can not always be immediately accomplished.
3. I spend extra dollars on items that are marked gluten-free because I can feel confident the product will not make my daughter sick. There may be other less expensive gluten-free product on the market, however, if they are not labeled as such, I am not aware of all of them. Very few products are marked gluten-free. Most of what I buy I have to go to a specialty store for.
4. I will not buy any product for my daughter without confidence it is gluten-free. Gluten can be hidden in many ingredients and if in question I will not take the risk. Proper labeling is essential.

When the Calydonian boar was ravaging the countryside, his father set him to lead the band of heroes who went forth to hunt the beast. Despite his marriage to Cleopatra, Meleager was in love with Atalanta, the only woman among the hunting party, and he rejoiced when she was the first to wound the boar; he then completed the kill himself, and awarded the boar's hide to her, on the ground that she had drawn first blood. However, Meleager's maternal uncles, Toxeus and Plexippus, were enraged that the prize of the hunt should be awarded to a woman, and tried to take it for themselves. Meleager fought with them and killed them.
Upon hearing the news of her brothers' deaths, Althaea removed the half-consumed brand from its hiding place and cast it upon the fire. Meleager writhed in agony, finally dying when the brand was burned entirely into ash.

Yes, this is possible. Surgery can be done for priXXXXX XXXXXver cancer if it has not spread.
However, it may not be possible as it sounds like she is not entirely able to undergo this big operation.
Your best bet is to get evaluated at a university hospital with a transplant center.

Pandas are pretty amazing. Like most people, we really, really like them. So we were thrilled to visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, which is basically the Panda Mecca of the world.
Located in the Sichuan Province of China, the Research Base houses upwards of 100 giant pandas – the largest number ever to be held in captivity. The base is also home to other rare species like the black-necked crane and a whole sleuth of red pandas.
To visit the pandas, make sure to arrive early when they're most active. We were fortunate enough to go on a tour with our hostel that arrived before eight in the morning, so we had the place to ourselves. The center itself is really well-maintained, and there's a lot of English signage and an educational video. And the entry fee is under $10, making this a really affordable attraction.
If you're rich (or just really into pandas), you can also spend the $300 to hold one. You only get enough time to snap a few photos, though. So if you're just in it for the souvenirs you might be better off dropping that dough in the panda-themed gift shop instead.
For decades China has led the way in panda conservation. Not only do pandas represent peace in Chinese culture, but they also serve as an important tool of diplomacy with other countries.
The Chinese have had the most success with breeding pandas, which, it turns out, are very stubbornly opposed to having sex with other pandas.
So why is it that pandas have such difficulty breeding? It would seem that male pandas have very little interest in propagating their species. Breeding centers employ extreme measures like panda massage and electronic stimulation to arouse a male so they can artificially inseminate a female. And yes, panda porn is a very real thing.
As for the females, they're only fertile for two or three days out of the entire year. Gestation lasts for three to six months depending on the mother's ability to find food, and many cubs are born underdeveloped. Sadly, more than half of cubs in the wild die either from disease or from being crushed by the mother. This seems far-fetched, right? Not really, since babies are born 1/900th the size of an adult panda. In human terms, that's like being born to a 7,200-pound mother.
Many experts agree that the giant panda is a remnant species – meaning that even if habitat infringement weren't an issue, they probably still wouldn't survive without human intervention. On an evolutionary scale pandas have been around for a very long time, and species do go extinct naturally. It's hard to say what their status might be if humans never interfered.
Here's a video of them playing. Try not to succumb to cuteness overload, there's still more to come.
Another fun fact about giant pandas: They actually have the digestive tract of a carnivore. Their penchant for plants in lieu of protein has resulted in several evolutionary adaptations, such as a sedentary lifestyle, a "thumb" for eating bamboo, and their very large size. Unfortunately they only absorb 20-30% of the nutrients in bamboo and have to eat every waking moment just to survive.
In recent years there's been a lot of debate over whether it's worthwhile to conserve the giant panda. The effort and cost involved in breeding the species is astronomical, and perhaps some of the resources would be better spent on other endangered animals, or even on projects that improve the human condition. As for us, we lean towards putting those resources elsewhere. But pandas, man. They're so damn cute. They make us so happy.

The second chapter in the brief history of England's National Cricket Academy is about to be written.
And in Peter Moores, the England and Wales Cricket Board has selected a man who in many ways is poles apart from the inaugural boss, Rod Marsh.
Australian Marsh was appointed in 2001 when English cricket - though improving - was still seen as being too soft.
So it was no accident that the academy was launched in somewhat austere fashion at Sandhurst, a venue better known for training young army officers.
Under Moores, however, the next generation of Test hopefuls are more likely to be coaxed into becoming star cricketers rather than bashed into shape.
Moores, 42, a former MCC young cricketer, kept wicket for Worcestershire and Sussex in a 16-year career.
Considered one of the better keepers in the country at the time, he was rarely close to playing at international level with Jack Russell and Alec Stewart occupying the role.
But what he never quite achieved as a player, he certainly has done as a coach - the dramatic 2003 County Championship success the most obvious feather in his cap.
Lean, tanned, and tall for a former wicket-keeper, Moores has a simple mantra:
"My whole philosophy of coaching is about getting excellence out of people rather than putting it in."
But he knows that he will have to steer a path between giving the academy his personal touch and letting it run at its natural pace.
"Rod's got a reputation for being a fantastic coach. He's got his style, I've got mine. In the next few months I'll have plenty of time to think about how we move forward.
"[The academy] has got itself really established so far and it's up to me to find out how to add to that."
When Moores ends his associations with Sussex on 1 October, he will not necessarily have all the powers currently aforded to Marsh.
He does not yet know if he will have a selection input in choosing national sides - and may not even pick the first intake of academy pupils.
Succeeding Fletcher?
Somewhat embarrassed when asked if he considered himself a role model for other English coaches, it is nevertheless plain why Moores ticked all the right boxes when the ECB chose him for the job.
"I love the game," he says.
"People tell me I'm enthusiastic and my passion is to develop people. Hopefully by doing that we can get the most out of them.
"My challenge is to make them better. But the better England do the harder it is to get into the team.
"All we can do is make sure they go through that process and come out a better player and person."
He is understandably cagey about what he might do in 2008, when his contract at the academy comes to an end.
But having already been approached by West Indies before they settled on Bennett King, one possibility for Moores would be to succeed Duncan Fletcher as England coach.
Who said that the foreign route was the only way forward?

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Welcome! I am Dr. Altman, a licensed veterinarian and happy to answer your questions today.
I completely understand what you are referring to
Ideally would be to anesthetize Rasta and debulk the dead/ dying/ inflamed skin then suture it back together
I typically do not use staples in the ear due to the sensitive tissue but every vet has preferences on how they treat surgically
If the ear is healing well on its own then I am not sure I would interfere but if it continues to stay open and drain/ not heal then surgery might need to be considered
I am an RN and with people if a wound dehis's we never reclose.. It then needs to heal from the inside out. It is a lg wound and will take a long time to heal this way but I am afraid that it will get reinfected if it heals outward before the inside catches up?
I agree, if it is not debulked before suturing/ stapling then likely it will simply dehisce again
In a 12 year old dog that has a 3 week ongoing infection I would let it heal by second intention
He had injured his ear and needed surgery so it would stop filling with sero sang flui( drining wasn't sucessful). I thought they would do the quilting but they used this plastic appliance . They then sutured his ear up to the top of his head. The plastic rivit things rubbed a wound. So if they debulk first it should in your opinion it will wourk with the staples? I just read your response..... any idea how letting it heal this way would take?
sorry about my typing... trying to hurry
That's ok, no worries with spelling!
I used the plastic a few times and had one do a similar lesion so I stopped using it after that
I would prefer suturing the ear versus staples
Since the ears rotate/ move regularly they can rotate in the ear and be upside down which can be quite painful to remove
The ear is so sensitive!
ok sounds good...... Thank you so much
How long would it take...that is difficult
It has already been three weeks so I would go on the lengthy side and say perhaps another 3 weeks
Do you know if they have laser therapy?
This can stimulate healing
Right now I want them to fix their error.... They keep charging me for the additional tx due to this. I can only imagine what they would charge for laser.
Laser therapy is not pricey
It can range from $30-50/ session
I will look into it then....... thank you!
And one of their technicians can do it, since this is due to their errors, I would definitely discuss doing this at no charge
Since it takes about 5 minutes to perform by support staff
It is worth a try!
Can I assist with any additional questions today?
no thank you so much. You have been very helpful.
Great! I truly wish you and Rasta luck in getting him to heal...
If you have more questions or if I can help in any other way, please do not hesitate to ask! If you would like to accept my answer, please press RATE OUR CONVERSATION. Bonuses are always welcome. (I am not compensated in any other way). Thanks!
If you have additional questions after you rate the question, you are welcome to request me for additional conversations if I am on-line or by beginning your question "Dr. Altman..." or "Dogdoc4u..." and others will leave the questions for me. Good luck to you both!!!
Thank you
You are very welcome!

Retail banks and credit card providers have consistently been at the forefront of technology-driven innovation. Many industries look to this group as the leaders in customer care and service. Today, financial services organisations face a number of new challenges including rebuilding their image and restoring public confidence in the industry. To be successful, organisations like yours are making strategic investments in customer care.
There is a push towards improving the customer experience by providing value-added services and making customer touch-points more uniform and transparent. This can be accomplished by optimising contact centre operations and implementing integrated customer-facing solutions. There are opportunities to differentiate through unique approaches to personalisation, enhancing security of interactions and investing in creative strategies to meet the needs of today's mobile consumers.
Nuance is helping 14 of the top 15 banks achieve these goals. Together we are keeping financial services at the leading edge of innovative and cost effective customer care.
Improve Authentication to Engage More Callers in Self-Service
The goal with authenticating callers is to balance the customer's need for enhanced security with ease of access. With incidences of fraud on the rise, this debate continues to rage. Ask too many questions and callers drop out of self-service. Ask too few and incidence of fraud may rise. Nuance has established best practices for you to balance multi-factor authentication and the technologies that make it work.
Eliminate Menus: Let Callers Use Their Own Words
Retail banking has seen tremendous self-service success with the use of touch-tone technology. Speech recognition has opened the door for even greater improvements. Call steering solutions from Nuance allow customers to use their own words to eliminate main menu options, shaving time off inbound calls and dramatically improving the customer experience.
Personalise Interactions for a Differentiated Customer Experience
Imagine a self-service interaction that knows what accounts you have – and what you don't – and only offers you choices relevant to your profile. Imagine an interaction with a system that remembers what information you called about previously and offers it to you proactively the next time you call. What about a system that greets you by name? Or one that pushes information to you when and how you want it so you don't have to actively monitor your account? Such interactions exist – and Nuance has delivered them to organisations like yours.
Any questions? Need more information?

Pang Aik Pang
Chairman and Managing Director
Ong Pang Aik's Lian Beng Group celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013 with its order book at a robust $1.2 billion at the end of August, ensuring a constant flow of activity up to 2016. Ong, who joined his father's company in 1978 is credited with growing the group from a subcontractor handling small contracts into an A1-graded, BCA-registered player handling multimillion-dollar projects. He has steered the Group through several construction down cycles, each time emerging stronger. The group continues to perform strongly under his leadership — mid-2013, wholly owned unit Lian Beng Construction clinched its ninth contract for the year to develop a $115 million condominium in Pasir Ris. A week earlier, subsidiary Deenn Engineering had been awarded an $85 million contract for a 12-storey office building and 11-storey carpark. In the areas of property development, Lian Beng launched 50 percent-owned residential development Spottiswoode Suites and The Midtown, a large-scale mixed-development project at Hougang.

After I stumbled into jazz via Miles Davis' electric period, I've been digging around the Jazz section of Borders and my new Flava of the Month is John Zorn. I've picked up Naked City, IAO, Taboo and Exile, Film Works 1986-1990, and Moonchild. I have to say I'm really digging him, but I can see how he could really irritate some people. Plus I think if delve a little bit into his psyche you'd find some pretty sick stuff, but that's neither here nor there. Zorn or No Zorn?
