Personal Information
Suzana Ryu was born and raised in the Pyros city of Shuka, a place very reliant on the business that ninja brought to the area. She lived with her parents and some other relatives, learning to become a ninja with her cousin and a friend who lived outside of her district. The three went to the qualification exams as a team, Suzana Ryu, Nik Ryu, and Jordan Reav. There was a standard test in knowledge of ninja skills, Jordan passed with flying colors, Suzana and Nik were fine. Next was a field test of their skills, Nik was especially helpful in this section, and finally there were sparring matches, where Suzana really shined. The three passed as one of the best teams in years. They set up a base for their own services and quickly became a potent force to be reckoned with. After a year or so, a wave of demons swept the area, all ninja guilds were put on high alert and many lives were lost in the fierce attempts to defend the city. Their guild was one of the only few left. So, Suzana thought up a solution. The three of them would only go on missions together until the next generation of her family(who were now pushing more towards being a full ninja clan) completed the exams. During one of these missions, Nik lost an eye, which was replaced by an enemy's eye later that month by Suzana, who was now very skilled in healing jutsu. Luckily, the exams were drawing to a close just as another wave of demons were a few miles away, creeping up on the city. A week later, the horde appeared on the horizon, and a small army of ninja were there to defend their city. The fight ensued, many being almost killed, many more wounded, and Suzana had her hands full beating demons and healing people at the same time. She was knocked on the ground by a shock wave ad when she looked up, she saw a demon that was coming down to kill her. But when she closed her eyes to wait for her last moment, the blow never came. She looked up once more to see a man with two swords blocking the giant claws of the demon with a sword that looked like a ninjato, a standard sword for ninja. He wasn't wearing any identification, but it didn't matter to Suzana as she took advantage of the situation and blasted through the demon with one fist. The man's name was Ean Eromalc, support from the demon hunting organization the Guardians. The two fought and healed their way to the rest of the group and soon the demons were pushed back. Ean was thanked and he was asked to stay for a while, and he accepted. The four of them became friends and Ean reassured that f they needed any more help, he would come back. Soon he left back for HQ, and he wasn't seen for months.
Interaction with the Guardians
Since the battle with the demon horde, the Ryu clan had moved to a new spot and had many more members, with the three leading them. One day, the scouts picked up demon activity and requested that help be called for from the man who showed up about a year ago. Suzana refused, she believed that the clan could handle it on it's own. The group of advisers were shocked and worried, both Nik and Jordan were out on missions that would keep them away for more time than they had, and with out the clan's best, they would surely lose. Suzana brought this upon The other two and they agreed with the advisers. So, the man was called back to their base and debriefed on the situation. He agreed to help, but only if there would be no other soldiers on the field besides her and himself. She thought he was crazy, but after he insisted, she approved the action. On the day of the confrontation, the two warriors were at the place where the battle would happen, waiting for the demons to appear on the horizon. Ean asked Suzana to summon the largest and most powerful creature she could, so she summoned the great white tiger, a beast the size of a large building. She hopped on, waiting for Ean to get on too, but he never did. Instead, she felt it grow very cold, and a giant of ice, more resembling a mixture between a human and a T-rex stood next to her summon, dwarfing the animal by about a story or two. Ean called from the head of the monster to just swing wherever she saw demons, they would be done in an hour or so. He was right, the battle was short, both of them tired, and they went back to the base to rest. After some time, Ean asked if Suzana and her friends would like to accompany him to the HQ to see if he could get his boss to sign them up in the Guardians. Suzana agreed, so they waited for the two by wasting time with tours of the grounds and training. Once the two got back, Ean used a teleportation technique to get them there quickly, where there were introductions and they worked out a plan for splinter base. The negotiations went well and Suzana, along with Nik and Jordan were registered as Guardians members. But instead of getting the normal magically enhanced tattoo, the three settled on headbands with the Guardians symbols on them.
Suzana, being the captain of the only division of the Guardians that is entirely ninja, has knowledge of many jutsu, each very diverse and fit for most situations. She also knows medical jutsu, and has excellent taijutsu. She tends to stray from genjutsu, unless she needs to use it. Some of the many techniques she uses are:
- Earth Style: Totem Pole Shot
- Wind Style: Spiral Fang
- Water style: behemoth breach
- Ninja Art:Alchemy Jutsu
- Ninja Art: Compass Barrier
- Ninja Art: Empty Cicada
- Summoning Jutsu: Great White Dragon
- Summoning Jutsu: White Tiger
- Summoning Jutsu: White Ox
- Summoning Jutsu: White Pheonix
- Sealing Jutsu: Prophet's Seal
- Earth Style: Daimond Dragon jutsu
- Fire Style: Spitfire
- Water Style: Aqualung
She uses many types of taijutsu, and she is very skilled in certain martial arts.
Out of the three heads of the eighth splinter, Suzana has the largest amount of chakra, in comparison to hokage level. This leads her to act recklessly and she often uses up large chunks of her energy faster than her body can produce. This is an exception for serious fights, such as a life and death situation, or for some representation of the Guardians.
Appearance and Personality
Suzana normally wears a dark gray top under a black over coat that reaches to just below her fingertips. She has short blond hair that she often wears down, but occasionally puts up in a pony tail, which shows that she is pretty stressed and should be taken as a warning not to get on her nerves. She often wears standard issue pants, with sandals. Her headband, like the rest of the splinter's, bears the symbol of the Guardians, and it is used as identification for allowance into the splinter base. She has a fun and nice personality, but when she's angry, she is often destructive, causing actual property damage. She has no love interests, but there are some rumors...

Gaver, Jr. In 1968 he was a champion two-year-old, winning five races that year including The Belmont Stakes, Dwyer Handicap, and Saranac Handicap.

Pre-Lot Text
Henry Koehler is widely regarded as one of the finest living sporting artists. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, his long association with the sporting life began soon after his graduation from Yale when his illustrations began to appear in The New Yorker, Town & Country and Sports Illustrated. His first exhibition was in 1961 and since that time, he has shown over sixty times in London, Paris, Dublin, Johannesburg and throughout the United States. His works can be seen at The National Racing Museum in Saratoga and at The National Horse Racing Museum in Newmarket. He has painted several portraits of well-known thoroughbreds on commission but prefers to capture 'the flavor, sound and smell of racing'. He is unique amongst contemporary artists in being able to capture with such intimacy the world of the horse, not only on the hunting field and racecourse, but also in the boot room, polo lines, and in his sensitive studies of jockeys before and after racing. He now lives and works in Southampton, New York.

text: Since I first started having sex with men, I was attracted to older men. I guess my own father issues probably drew me to the notion of an older man taking care of and loving me. Hart Caldwell is definitely one hot, sexy older man. In his Bear Films profile he says, "I love to kiss, suck, and fuck furry, younger, solidly built guys with a lot of facial hair." Well, hello ... look no further, here I am. Hart is a 47-year-old, silver daddy who stands a towering 6'6" and weighs in at 225 pounds. Wow! He's a big man. And when this daddy says, "Suck my cock," I'm betting he doesn't get much lip, except for the pair wrapped around his dick. Hart is featured in a new video at Bear Films this week and he's also got his own solo gallery. And while today's video is a solo jack off session, Hart is also featured in four hot, hardcore action videos on the site. So there's a lot of this sexy older man to see.

- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4 to 6

Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over moderately high heat. Add the ground lamb, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until browned, about 5 minutes.

|Re: Data from multiple tables (Join Data)
|Tue, 20 Jul 2010 05:15:46 GMT
Cassandra may not be the best fit for a billing system. I'm guessing the lack of transactions would be a problem if you want to update inventory levels. If you want to get data from multiple column families you will need to make multiple calls, or de-normalise the data so you can get all the data you need from one column family for a single key. Such as storing the inventory data in the same column family as the product info. Perhaps using a Super Column Family with a super column for the ProductData, another for the Inventory etc. You could then read all the colums in the CF for one product and get all the data you want without doing a join. In general do-normalise to remove the need for joins. Also be aware of the transaction guarantees you are giving up. Hope that helps.

Baggies reject triple bid
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Wigan have failed in bids for West Brom trio Curtis Davies, Zoltan Gera and Nathan Ellington.
West Brom have rejected a triple bid from Wigan for Curtis Davies, Zoltan Gera and Nathan Ellington.
Wigan are believed to have tabled a bid in the region of £10 million for the trio as they look to bolster their squad.
Latics boss Paul Jewell is a big fan of all three players and is keen to bring them to the JJB Stadium.
Ellington only moved to West Brom from Wigan last summer, but Jewell is keen to bring him back to the club.
A host of clubs are chasing central defender Davies and Spurs have already seen a bid for his services rejected.
Gera is also thought to be a target for several sides after impressing at the Hawthorns over the last few seasons.
West Brom have rejected the offers from Wigan and insist they are keen to keep hold of their best players as they look to win an immediate return to The Premiership.
"They are not for sale," Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace told the club's official website.
"We have made it clear since the day we knew which division we would be playing in next season that it is our intention to strengthen our squad, not take it apart."

About The Gregory
The British countryside is filled with attractions, whether they be rolling hills, dense forests or lakes, but for many travellers, a trip into the more rural areas of the country is incomplete without a trip to a proper country pub. The Gregory, just outside Grantham in Harlaxton, is one such establishment, and one that locals in Lincolnshire love. Their food is British in nature but international in outlook, as is their wine list, which features local ales and vino from around the world. Book a table now and head on over to The Drift in Harlaxton, The Gregory, and a proper British feed.
Opening Hours
- Monday 11:00 - 23:00
- Tuesday 11:00 - 23:00
- Wednesday 11:00 - 23:00
- Thursday 11:00 - 23:00
- Friday 11:00 - 23:00
- Saturday 11:00 - 23:00
- Sunday 11:00 - 22:00
Further Information
When you enter a pub in the British countryside, there are a few things that you're going to want to see. Rustic buildings are a plus – there's no recommendation like longevity in a local community – and a warm welcome is also appreciated for those who have made the journey. A great selection of beers and wines, allied to traditional British food is a must, too: so if the country pub you enter is The Gregory in the Lincolnshire village of Harlaxton, you're in luck. Take a trip to their address on The Drift – just outside Grantham – and make the most of their menu.
The Gregory offers a menu to the Grantham public that is replete with British classics. Fish of the day, braised blade of beef, fillet steak and char-grilled gammon and egg are all there, as are the likes of bangers and mash – locally-sourced, of course – and homemade pies. There are international favourites too, in the form of butternut squash curry and ratatouille tortellini among others, so make a move to The Drift in Harlaxton for a taste of it all. Book a table though, lest ye end up like Mark & Joseph with no room at the inn.

Met all expectations, good food, excellent service, brilliant atmosphere. Service good, would not go anywhere else. Variety in menu. Busy for a Monday evening. Very good overall.
Booked a table for valentines as always staff and chef went out of their way to accommodate my girlfriends food allergies.would highly recommend absolutely amazing
Great food beautifully cooked and presented with good service in a lovely environment. We will be more than happy to return. Thank you to The Gregory.
Good lunchtime atmosphere on a Thursday and excellent food. There was a mix up with the order (soup instead of frites with a sandwich) but that was put right with no fuss straight away
We like The Gregory but on this occasion my husband had to take his beer back as it didn't taste very good, they replaced it no problem. Then we started eating our food, (sausages & mash) my sausages didn't seem to be cooked enough, they were still pink. The waitress took them back & the chef said they were at the correct temperature but they would cook me some more or cook me something else. I asked for the sausages again but for them to be well done, this time they were much better. We don't normally have a problem at The Gregory, it just must have been an off day they were having.
This was our second visit to The Gregory. It's reputation drew us there the first time. It is a pleasant environment for a family meal. The food was delicious, the proportions were just right, and the presentation was to a high standard. The staff were welcoming and friendly throughout the duration of our visit.
Disappointing first time at The Gregory with friends. Lots of space. Nicely decorated and well presented environment. But doesn't meet the image projected on their website for fine dining - falls a long way short - more like a good pub. Served by a school lad who was very shy and out of his depth - hardy what to expect from fine dining. Two other gents served drinks and took the order didn't seem all that interested. asked for the gluten free info but never received it. No notes on menu choices about GF options. If its fine dining your looking there are many better options. If the pricing was more in line with normal pubs then this would be an okay place for dinner. Poor value for money. Shame as it looks nice from outside and website is great.
We enjoyed our meal at The Gregory, we both had sausage & mash with caramelised onion gravy, it was delicious. The staff were attentive & courteous which helped make for a pleasant evening. Definitely recommend it.
visited for the first time on Saturday evening and it will not be the last.The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. It all made for a great evening as we met friends who had travelled down from the Lake District and we were not rushed at all although the restaurant was fairly busy.
First time at The Gregory, will definitely be going back. Sunday lunch was very nice - good food and atmosphere. I had Sirlion beef and Brownie.
Beautiful place with a roaring fire, good food but very slow service. Disappointed to find the weekly deals were not being offered for December but were on the website. Big paper menus and candles on the table dont mix, one of ours caught fire, offered a fresh menu but didnt clean up mess from the burnt one and we got burnt fingers putting the fire out as it was flames!! Rethink health and safety there i think.
Brilliant food and atmosphere, good selection of drinks but felt we were a little ignored towards the end of our meal, to the point that one of our party had to leave the table to find a waitress so that we could order desserts. If we hadn't have had to do that I would have given this restaurant a perfect rating
Very good range of options for a lunch time, reasonable priced. Lovely atmosphere and a warm welcome. food was very delicious and obviously cooked to order with fresh ingredients (not left overs form the weekend like you get in some restaurants). overall a very pleasant and delicious lunch
Food was excellent. Very reasonable prices. Staff attentive and very polite. Enjoyable dining experience in very nice surroundings. Disappointed with the garden. Not well kept and outdoor seating has seen better days. A shame as a lovely courtyard area but neglected. Ladies toilets needs some areas of work. These 2 areas let the place down
Glad to have The Gregory as our 'local', the food this lunchtime was good as always. The service was a little slow today. Definitely worth a visit.
Nice building and room but just a bit shabby - one of the chairs was broken and the others wobbly and had fabric hanging underneath. Friendly service but slightly casual e.g. Having said I wanted a glass of wine I had to ask for a wine list which had to be specially fetched. Limited Sunday lunch menu but the food itself was very good and good value.
It was pie night tonight which means you could order the pie of the night & a drink for £9.95 you could also order off the main menu too. I had the pie, Chicken & ham but they also had Pork sage & onion or a vegetarian option. It was very nice.
Comfortable and very well decorated room. On main road but little noise intrusion and no noise from rest of building despite being above restaurant. Good food. Not impressed with Dualit tea/coffee maker but alternative hot water readily supplied. Also, only one coat hanger provided. Staff friendly and helpful.
Friendly helpful staff, plesant atmosphere, well laid out tables with plenty of room. Our visit was on Fathers Day and had a special menu on, fairly good choice at reasonable prices. Well cooked food. Will return next time we are in the area.
Convenient location as the group was staying in Grantham. Warm welcome from the staff and professional service. The stilton panacotta could have been improved with more stilton but the 'pub style meat pie' was superb.
Really great food as always and lovely atmosphere. Really nice to be able to take the kids and fab kids menu. Good offers with the 7th heaven deal. My Dad thoroughly enjoyed his birthday meal.
Very nice overall. Inside is very decorated and themed very well, not a great deal of curb appeal from the outside though. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food was ample and tasty and served nice and quickly.
Sunday Lunch at the Gregory, Harlaxton. The food, wine and service was very good, and really good value. I have eaten at the Gregory on a number of occasions and would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
We went for Sunday lunch. Menu has improved from last time, options other than just Sunday roasts. Bread served before meal is now a mini loaf, far too much. Food average, service okay. Lacked atmosphere today, maybe it was just because it was quieter than normal.
Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff, nice room and tasty well priced dinner . Good room decor and shower comfy bed. It's by the road but can't really hear traffic
We had a roast chicken dinner which was very nice. The only downside were the roast potatoes, they had obviously been previously cooked & then reheated but not very well. Otherwise everything else was good.
Lovely atmosphere, staff friendly and attentive and most of all food very good. I would have rated them a six but on this occasion only a five because my mashed potatoes were only just warm.
Quiet evening but enjoyable, the staff were pleasant & attentive. My husband had gammon & chips & I had chicken & ham pie with mash & cabbage. Both were very tasty & good value.
It was a really nice meal with excellent service. It has an relaxing and warming atmospheric lounge, nice on tap beers and cider, and a wide range of choices for the more adventurous drinker.
We had the fish and the steak and both were perfectly cooked. Staff were polite and discreetly attentive. Lovely food and great service. we will definitely be back.
Stopped over in Grantham on the way to the Lakes - had a great meal at the Gregory and would certainly recommend to anyone - great service too!
The food was delicious food, the staff were very pleasant and helpful and the service was efficient. It is excellent value and the surroundings were comfortable and cosy.
Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, wonderful staff. Service can be a little slow but the food is worth the wait. Nice to just sit back and relax. :)
The food excellent and the service tremendous. The staff couldn't do enough to help. A really friendly pub with top quality food. We would definitely go again.
SUCH friendly, genuine service from ALL of the staff! Tasty food and good atmosphere. Felt very looked after. Well done to the staffing team, really impressed
Good menu, very difficult to decide what to eat. When we eventually did ti was all well cooked and excellent. Service was very good and friendly
Great service and greater food the gregory really is a place to go and relax in comfort and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere within the restaurant
Excellent! Good friendly service by all the staff. The food was piping hot, tasty and well presented. We had a lovely evening at the Gregory!
The food was great and service was generally good, just a little slow at points. The food is reasonably priced considering the quality - overall a good experience.
Great disappointment. Front of house staff were not particularly attentive or welcoming and service was very slow. Food could best be described as ordinary. Had high hopes of an enjoyable evening when booking was made but was underwhelmed by the experience. Will not be visiting again..
Lovely restaurant, very attentive staff. We both had the hake which was a little disappointing and lacked taste and colour. Would visit again at a later date
Lovely meal, service good. Duck dish was a strange combination which i wouldnt choose again but my family all enjoyed their meals. We would go back.
Service was a little slow but they were quite busy but we were well looked after. Most importantly the food was delicious, I highly recommend it.
Food was of the high standard expected and the service was both friendly, attentive but also respectfully paced. Overall experience was great value for money.
The food we had was lovely, they even let us preorder as we only had an hour for lunch and the process was really simple
Food was very good; sensibly priced. Staff friendly. Long wait between main course and dessert. But overall lovely dining experience and will go definitely return.
The food was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and attentive. Nice comfortable surroundings. Would definitely recommend the restaurant for Sunday dinner
Had Sunday lunch and it was ok not great. £3.95 supplement for beef!! £0.50 for a Yorkshire pudding!!! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Toilets in need of some upgrading
The staff were very welcoming & attentive. We enjoyed our evening & our meals were delicious as usual.
The food was good and the service was efficient, but we did feel it felt a little rushed and not really truly customer focused. Price was good.

text: The Graygls were a water-breathing species believed by some scientists to be indigenous to Danalbeth. Due to a natural disaster, a benevolent species (possibly the Celestials) relocated them to Iskalon where they became part of the Iskalonian school. In physical appearance, the Graygls had round fleshy heads, distinguished by red eyes, flaring nostrils, and a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth. Although appearing fierce, the Graygls were among the gentlest, most hospitable of the Iskalonians, going out of their way to help others. Nonetheless, their appearance allowed them to intimidate Iskalon's predators, the chiaki.

Miniature Christmas Stockings....
I had been trying to finish this room when I had my fall and the last few things to complete have come to a stand still. I have made a brick back for the fire place and the hearth, but these are not yet painted.....also the hydrangea in the urn is also not complete!!!...plus I still need to add some pretty cushions etc... I hope the new year will see me right and I shall be able to finish this room!
I recieved a beautiful letter of support and encouragement from Sabiha in the mail this week....in regards to my 'accident'....and along with it, was this adorable little 'nutcracker' that she had made. I think it is a lovely christmas addition for the 'petite maison'!
....thank you so very much, Linda x
...p.s....please note that the miniature christmas stockings are not worked in 'needle point'....I am not as clever as Sandi & Rosanna.... they are miniaturized buy the magic of my computer & printer!!

Jayson Werth did not join the rest of the Nationals for their morning workout, which is taking place inside Space Coast Stadium. Werth missed yesterday's workout with back spasms, Manager Davey Johnson said.
Werth was in the Nationals clubhouse this morning. Asked how his back was feeling, Werth said, "I don't care" before walking away.
The Nationals are not concerned with Werth's condition. Johnson said yesterday he was unworried but "I'm not taking any chances" with the injury. The Nationals are treating it, for now, as a minor spring training ailment.
The Nationals are working out inside their spring training ballpark today, and not on the backfields, because Johnson wants the players to grow accustomed to the conditions before games begin. The Nationals will play an exhibition against Georgetown on Friday, and on Saturday they will travel to Kissimmee for their first Grapefruit League game, against the Astros.
Werth will not travel for the first game, which had been planned before his back flared up. Johnson said he will use precaution in getting Werth into games.
Updated 12:28 p.m.: At the end of the workout, Werth ran onto the field and played catch, then shagged some flies in center field. Johnson reiterated that his back injury is not considered serious.
The Nationals had another notable absence: First baseman Adam LaRoche did not participate in today's workout, which Johnson described as a precautionary measure. LaRoche "tweaked" his ankle running the bases yesterday, and his throwing shoulder is still regaining strength. Still, "he's fine," Johnson said.
Chad Tracy also missed today's workout with a minor ailment.
Updated 3:02 p.m.: So, it turns out Werth did more than originally thought. While he did not run on to the field until the end of the workout, he took batting practice in the cage, Johnson said. Both Werth and LaRoche were cleared by trainers, but Johnson personally held them out as a precaution.
"That was strictly on me," Johnson said. "That was not anything from the training room. They all had green lights."
Johnson said he had planned on giving Werth a couple at-bats Sunday against the Astros, but "but I might have to postpone that upon further review and discussions with him," Johnson said. "I got the impression last year as a bystander that he didn't feel the urgent need to jump right in and get going. He had his own schedule in his mind."
Tracy, by the way, had a cortisone shot in his knee, Johnson said, so he could be out for a few days.

Mark Sisson, the leading voice in the Evolutionary Health movement and author of the bestseller "e;The Primal Blueprint,"e; extends the primal theme beyond the diet and exercise basics in this much anticipated sequel. "e;The Primal Connection"e; presents a comprehensive plan to overcome the flawed mentality and hectic pace of high-tech, modern life and reprogram your genes to become joyful, care-free, and at peace with the present. You ll make scientifically validated, highly intuitive connections across the board, emerging with a renewed appreciation for the simple pleasures of life and our most precious gifts of time, health, and love.
The connections are organized into 6 categories:
. Inner Dialogue: Reject self-doubt and gain mastery over your thoughts and actions by following the Ten Habits of Highly Successful Hunter-Gatherers.
. Body: Rediscover the pleasure of touch. Rethink footwear to cure foot and back pain; learn correct posture and biomechanics, maybe for the first time ever
. Nature: Relieve stress at the biochemical level simply by immersing yourself in pleasant natural surroundings anywhere, even if you are city-bound.
. Daily Rhythm: Prioritize healthful sleep habits, wholesome diversions, solitary downtime, and limit technology to remain focused, creative, and productive.
. Social: Withstand the pull of instant gratifications and narrow your social circle to honor real-life friends over Facebook. Build a supportive and nurturing tribe.
. Play: Rediscover your innate cravings for daily doses of spontaneous, physical fun Finally understand the true meanings of pleasure and leisure.
"e;The Primal Connection"e; allows you to have it all; you ll honor your ancient genetic recipe for health while still enjoying the comfort and convenience of modern life."e;"e;
"e;Q&A with Mark"e;
1. How does this book differ from "e;The Primal Blueprint"e;?"e;"e;
"e;The Primal Blueprint"e; focused on the ten lifestyle laws of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, with particular emphasis on what seem to be the most urgent and obvious life changing elements of the Evolutionary Health movement: eating primal foods and exercising in a manner aligned with optimal gene expression. "e;The Primal Connection"e; extends the primal theme to matters of the psyche and the disconnects inherent with high tech modern life and how to fix things.
2. What are the overarching themes of "e;The Primal Connection?"e;
You ll embrace three critical themes that will help you withstand the destructive forces of modern life. First, your genes expect certain inputs to make you healthy, strong, and happy. If you create a different experience slamming junk food or blasting artificial light and digital stimulation after dark, you ll compromise long-term health, period. Your genes don t know, or care, whether the inputs they receive are health-promoting or health compromising, they are simply programmed to fight for homeostasis at all times. Drink a soda and your genes respond by prompting the release of insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. In this refrain, the development of type 2 diabetes from prolonged excessive insulin production, and the subsequent resistance of cells to respond to insulin, is not a genetic defect but an example of gene expression at work. Your genes will fight valiantly to moderate the wildly excessive intake of carbohydrates in the Standard American Diet by producing insulin until this genetic mechanism becomes utterly exhausted and a diabetic condition develops.
The second theme is that abundance and scarcity are often mismatched with our genetic expectations. For example, our ancestors had abundant leisure time and scarce material possessions. This is something our brains are still wired to expect and appreciate, but the exact opposite often plays out today. Consequently, we feel stressed and anxious about busy schedules and consumerist, affluenza mentalities because they in conflict with our hard-wired genetic reference point. As Dr

Oliver Sacks, who has taught us so much, now teaches us the art of dying
Ranjana Srivastava
Death is never easy. But Oliver Sacks shows us an approach that views life as a welcome gift rather than bemoaning death as a medical failure
Like millions of readers I had a lump in my throat as I read Oliver Sacks reveal his diagnosis of terminal cancer earlier this year. Every doctor aspires to be a little like Sacks whether for his sharp intellect, his obvious humanity or his exquisite writings that go to the core of what it means to be human and frail.
In February he calmly declared that metastatic melanoma affecting his liver meant that his luck had run out. I found it hard to share his calm but then like the genial, grandfather-figure he is, he reassured us, oncologists and all, that he still felt intensely alive, wanting to "deepen my friendships, to write more, to achieve new levels of understanding and insight."
His mention of finding a new focus and perspective resonated with me – it is as close to a universal finding as there is in clinic, where ordinary individuals and famous people all say that cancer forced them to contemplate their life and legacy.
It's not always pretty, I concede. Cancer triggers joyful marriage but also bitter divorce. It unites bickering siblings but also tears apart those previously contented. It fosters a peaceful reckoning and loving coexistence but equally tempestuous anger and unrelenting sorrow. All I can say is letting go is hard. Actually, it sucks. Watching the march of thousands of such patients, I keep thinking it must be indescribably difficult to bear if it is so difficult just to watch from the vantage point of an unrelated oncologist, who at best catches only glimpses of the struggle patients face every day.
The lump in my throat grew larger this weekend when Oliver Sacks declared that his disease had inevitably returned despite liver embolization and immunotherapy, the holy grail of melanoma treatment. Oh no, I thought glumly, not you too, as if the greatness of being Oliver Sacks were enough to outsmart rapidly dividing melanocytes. Sadly no. The venerable figure that he is, I can just about picture him telling a group of despondent young residents that it would be naive to think that a terminally ill doctor might avoid the fate of many of his patients.
Oliver Sacks dying of metastatic melanoma may have been just another story of misfortune in a world spilling over with bad news were it not for something that caught my eye towards the middle of his column. He lists symptoms of nausea, loss of appetite, chills and sweats and a pervasive tiredness, all cardinal signs of worsening cancer. He tells us he is still managing to swim although the pace is slower as he pauses to breathe. And then, he says something utterly obvious and yet, thoroughly remarkable: "I could deny it before but I know I am ill now."
In a piece of achingly beautiful writing, this observation may bypass the typical outsider but as an oncologist, it struck me as the essence of what it takes to die well – the concession that all the well-intentioned therapy in the world can no longer prevent one from going down the irreversible trajectory of death.
This recognition allows patients to halt toxic treatment, opt for effective palliation and articulate their goals for the end of life. It permits their oncologist to open up new conversations that don't include the latest million-dollar blockbuster therapy with a bleak survival curve but do mention the therapeutic benefit of teaming up with hospice workers to write letters, preserve photos and record memories. I would say that this candid admission from a patient is the difference between bemoaning death as a medical failure and viewing life as a welcome gift.
He had determined that there was to be no conversation about her progressive cancer or the fact that she lay dying. Her experience was unacceptable yet the impasse dreadful and ethically troubling.I found myself thinking of a former patient who came into hospital dying of liver failure from metastatic bowel cancer. Her jaundiced skin was practically glowing and she had a resulting insatiable itch. There was not a single comfortable position she could find and it soon became clear that that she needed continuous sedation for comfort. But before I sedated her I needed to be sure that she understood her terminal condition, difficult given that the liver failure was causing agitation. The problem was that her husband was permanently stationed at her bedside and would not hear of me mentioning any bad news to the patient.
One morning her husband was delayed but she needed urgent attention so I walked in alone to find a clearly distressed patient. Looking surreptitiously around the room, and temporarily alert, she whispered, "What is happening to me?"
I sat down and held her hand, noting a trail of bleeding scratch marks.
"Do you want me to tell you?"
Before she could answer, her husband roared from behind me, "How dare you plot to scare my wife like that in my absence? Get out!"
As I covered my ears against the litany of abuse, the patient's terrorised eyes briefly rested on mine. Sorry, they seemed to say, I am really sorry. Refusing to be mollified by the palliative care staff the man virtually dragged his dying wife home. He made a mockery of her end of life care and left me with a searing memory of my failure to help a dying patient. But I also try to remember that he loved her and just couldn't bear the thought of letting her go. Letting go is hard.
Doctors fail patients in various ways but in some ways it is easier to fail patients when they or their family deny impending death. They are the ones who deserve our greatest consideration and patience but the truth is that it's taxing enough to treat intractable pain, omnipresent nausea or pervasive melancholy without having to take on the onerous task of saying, "Believe me, you really are dying."
Unlike suturing or locating a pulse, dealing with death does not become easier with time. If you care about your patient, it always hurts. It hurts when you fail to cure them and it hurts when you fail to help them die. Patients who can get even part of the way to acknowledging their mortality ultimately do themselves, their relatives and even their oncologists an untold favour.
But of course, it's one thing to understand your mortality and quite another to articulate your feelings for the world to scrutinise. At his diagnosis Oliver Sacks wrote, "I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude." Those insightful words brought inspiration to untold patients.
But the doctor who brought to us the man who mistook his wife for a hat isn't about to mistake death for what it is. Now he reminds us with all the poise and dignity we have come to expect of him that there is value in embracing our mortality, that there is an art to dying, and before he goes, he might just show us how. For this and so much more, we owe him.

On The Move: A Life
When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: "Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far." It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction and then in New York, where he discovered a long forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life.
With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions—weightlifting and swimming—also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists—Thom Gunn, A.R. Luria, W.H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick—who influenced him. On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer—and of the man who has illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.
Oliver Sacks is a practicing physician and the author of twelve books, including The Mind's Eye, Musicophilia, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and Awakenings (which inspired the Oscar-nominated film). He lives in New York City, where he is a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine.
Oliver Sack's An Anthropologist on Mars, Awakenings, Hallucinations, The Island of the Colorblind, The Mind's Eye, Musicophilia, Seeing Voices, and Uncle Tungsten are available in Vintage paperback, as is Vintage Sacks, a collection of his finest work.

There's been much talk about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and now Mobile Choice has got its hands on it. Running on Android Honeycomb, the Google OS that has been optimised for the tablet platform, the 10.1 obviously refers to the size of the display, putting it on par with the Motorola Xoom while actually having more surface area than the iPad 2. As well as the 3.15-megapixel camera on the back there's also a two-megapixel front-facing one so you'll be able to enjoy video calls, or just check yourself out.
We'll be bringing you a full review very soon, but in the meantime why not check out the rest of the contenders in the Tablet of the Year category in our Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2011 survey. You could win a Samsung Galaxy SII, Motrorola Atrix, BlackBerry PlayBook, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc or Nokia E7 for your troubles.

USC senior wide receiver Darreus Rogers didn't get to hear his name called during the 2017 NFL Draft, but he quickly received a phone call after the draft's conclusion when he became an undrafted free agent.
Rogers and eight other USC seniors that were not selected during the draft have found a home in the two days since the draft's conclusion. Rogers joins a Seattle Seahawks' squad that will feature some familiar faces with former Trojan head coach Pete Carroll as well as previous USC teammates Tre Madden and George Farmer
Here's a quick glance at where the undrafted Trojans have landed:
WR Darreus Rogers to the Seattle Seahawks
Bio Info
Compton (Calif.) Carson
6-foot-1, 216 pounds
32-inch arm length
10 1/8-inch hands
4.90 second 40 [USC Pro Day]
29-inch vertical jump [USC Pro Day]
113-inch broad jump [USC Pro Day]
10 bench press reps [USC Pro Day]
4.54 second 20-yard shuffle
7.22 three-cone drill
Draft Rankings
CBS: No. 788 overall, No. 105 WR
USC Career:
After the high school All-American grayshirted in 2012, but then became a contributor as a freshman. Rogers put up very similar numbers in each of this first three years, catching between 21 and 28 passes each season for 245 to 289 yards. He didn't have any touchdowns his freshman year but had seven combined the next two seasons. Rogers had a breakout senior campaign, earning Pac-12 honorable mention after finishing with 56 catches for 696 yards and four touchdowns opposite JuJu Smith-Schuster.
He finished his career with 127 catches for 1,487 yards (11.7 avg) and 11 touchdowns. He is 17th on USC's all-time career receptions list (127). He made 27 career starts.
Expert Breakdown:
"Rogers is one part vertical receiver with great ball skills and no deep speed and one part possession receiver with below average route-running but very good hand-eye coordination. His size will work in his favor but his ridiculously slow 40 time will make it hard for him to get a legitimate shot unless he bulks up and tries to repurpose himself as a matchup tight end." – Lance Zeierlein, NFL.com
"He is well-built for the position with the my-ball mentality and ballskills that translate well to the NFL game, using his aggressive, natural plucking skills to be a solid possession target. However, his ordinary athleticism will limit ways to get him the ball at the next level, lacking the dynamic traits or savvy to consistently separate in coverage." -- CBSsports.com

9 1/2-inch hands
24-inch vertical jump [USC Pro Day]

Draft Rankings
CBS: No. 139 overall, No. 12 OT
ESPN: No. 210 overall, No. 14 OT
WalterFootball.com: No. 16 OT
Expert Breakdown:
"A move blocker with the ability to operate confidently in space while lacking the power to whip the man across from him. Lack of core strength and consistent footwork in pass protection could force him to make a move inside to guard for a zone team. Could become an eventual starter, but might be best-suited as a swing tackle on the NFL level." -- Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

115-inch broad jump [USC Pro Day]
21 bench press reps
Draft Rankings
CBS: No. 269 overall, No. 24 RB
WalterFootball.com: No. 27 RB
Expert Breakdown:
"Solid college running back who lacks the physicality to be a consistent interior runner and the blocking ability teams expect from their third down backs. Davis has decent vision and elusiveness once he gets up to the second level, but he lacks early creativity and typically gets what is blocked for him on the first level. He could get drafted on the third day but appears to be a garden-variety, replaceable runner." -- Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

TE Taylor McNamara to the Cleveland Browns

14 bench press reps [USC Pro Day]
Draft Rankings
CBS: No. 545 overall, No. 36 TE
WalterFootball.com: No. 18 TE
Expert Breakdown:
"Move tight end with limited pass catching production and a need for more bulk as a blocker. With decent athleticism and a willingness to work at his blocking, McNamara has a chance to make it into camp and catch a team's eye if he can stand out on special teams." -- Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

OL Damien Mama to the Kansas City Chiefs
Bio Info
Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco
6-foot-3, 334 pounds

No. 8 offensive guard in the draft
No. 148 overall prospect
Draft Rankings
CBS: No. 170 overall, No. 12 OG
ESPN: No. 175 overall, No. 9 OG
WalterFootball.com: No. 12 NT
Expert Breakdown:
"Power-based guard who can generate movement off the ball, but lacks the balance and bend to be a consistent block sustainer. Smart defenders started to time up Mama's punch in pass protection, so he will need to vary his approach, but he does have the heavy hands and sturdy base to combat bull-rushers and set a shallow anchor. Could start his career as a backup, but has the size and ability to become eventual starter." -- Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
"Has the wide-base and core strength to dominate his square, flashing violence and torque with his upper body to generate a surge in the run game and absorb rushers in pass protection. Mama can unlock his hips to handle different types of rushers, but needs to better sink and use leverage. He has the raw traits to get the job done at the next level, but the more he continues to focus on the details and mechanics of the position will be the key to his development - projects as a NFL starter." -- CBSsports.com

Many people joke about something called "Valve Time", an imperceptible chronological measurement visible only to the revered developers themselves. Games of all sorts, even episodic content, seem to take forever to be released, but they are always of the highest quality. The original Left 4 Dead was also subject to the whims of Valve's crazed machinations; it suffered delay after delay before finally being released to a heap of praise. Now, after only a year, the beloved zombie-killing co-op extravaganza has gotten a sequel. With such a short turn-around time between the original, is a year enough time for Valve to work their magic?
Fortunately, the basic foundation of Left 4 Dead is so strong that all that Valve needed to do was heap a bunch of new stuff onto the formula with some minor gameplay improvements. One of the lacking aspects of the original was the small weapons selection, but now you've got more tools of destruction than you can bludgeon a baseball bat with. The selection of guns has greatly expanded, adding some neat tools like the Thumper, a one-shot grenade launcher, and the venerable AK-47 assault rifle. Perhaps the best addition to the weapons line-up is the melee selection: you can replace your pistol with a close quarters weapon like the cricket bat or the crowbar and just go to town. The melee weapons are so effective against the regular zombies that I rarely used a handgun, even when the Desert Eagle was up for the taking. While they may feel a tad too powerful at times for a game that stresses "co-op", charging a zombie horde with nothing but a fire axe and a massive blood lust is a unique and thrilling experience. Melee weapons aren't perfect, however, as you need to be careful where you swing you weapon. If you rush into battle and your team-mates are all beside you, you'll hit them as often as you hit the zombies.
Left 4 Dead 2 also packs some neat upgrades to the inventory system besides armaments. The Pipe Bomb and Molotov cocktail from the first game return, but they're accompanied by a few new gadgets. You can deploy special ammunition such as frag or incendiary rounds, or you can pack a deffribulator to revive dead Survivors. The new items change the way the game plays, but with all the twists and turns that get thrown at you, you'll be glad for a little extra help.
Having all these fancy tools without interesting enemies to fight would be pointless, so Valve stepped up the design on the Infected for the Southern USA based sequel. The classic Special Infected are back, and they've all gotten a make-over so they blend in better with the setting. The new special zombies are all evolutions of the classic bosses in that their job is to split up, distract, and eventually destroy the Survivors. A well-placed Spitter shot will remove camping Survivors or destroy gas cans, and having a Charger bulldoze through your group and pulverize one of your comrades will result in a few moments of blind panic.
The garden-variety zombies have been updated too; they now sport a "Southern-fried" look and have a new damage modeling system to go with it. Limbs can be blown off, bladed weapons will score huge gouges in chests, and bullets will punch different-sized holes through zombies based on what calibre weapon you're using. The game is decidedly gorier than the original, and that adds to the fun rather than detract from it. There are a couple types of regular Infected which have their own individual attributes, and these are referred to as "uncommon common". They can blind you with mud or resist fire thanks to environment suits, so these little bastards can add an extra level of strategy to even your most basic Horde encounter.
The campaigns themselves have also reaped the benefits of having a year to expand upon the base model: the daytime settings work just as well as the night and having the game take place in several varied locations instead of just a darkened city or industrial location is a great way to keep the game from getting stale. Left 4 Dead 2 also features some very impressive particle effects, and the slashing thunderstorm in Hard Rain truly has to be seen to be believed. Fighting your way through a raging gale while zombies assault you from all sides in one of the stand-out moments in a game full of great encounters. While the Source engine may be starting to show its age compared to some recent games, the graphics impress more than they disappoint. The new Survivors are also intricately detailed, especially Coach. It's rare to see a hefty gentleman in video games because they're tougher to animate properly, but Valve went the extra steps to make sure everything looks correct. Our latest batch of beleaguered zombie-killers are just as memorable as the old cast, with the unfortunate expectation of Rochelle. Ellis, Coach and Nick all have their funny lines (including one that I'm sure is a Star Wars reference), but Rochelle doesn't seem to get in anything edgewise. While it's not enough to bring down the experience, you'll be missing the snappy patter of the original crew from time to time.
The Survivors aren't all perfect, though, as the AI for your teammates is as dumb as a bag of hammers. They'll constantly try to heal you when you don't need it, or they'll stand there calmly reloading while a Hunter gives you a face lift instead of switching to their secondary weapon. The one thing that I can give the team AI credit for is that if you fall, they will always come to help you. This can work against you, as well, because it applies to the other AI just as much as it does to you. More than once, I abandoned my team while I ran for the rescue vehicle because they were all getting mauled while trying to help each other. Pragmatism wins over altruism, I'm afraid.
Versus mode also makes a return alongside Survival, but the new star of the multiplayer portion is Scavenge. It's a classic Infected vs. Survivors set-up, but instead of progressing through the campaigns, you're locked into an arena setting and battle it out over tanks of gas. The Survivors need to collect as many jerry cans as possible while the zombies try to stop them. Matches are over fairly quick, so they're perfect if you want you undead-thrashing fix but can't spare the hour and a half that playing a Versus match takes. The only thing I don't like about this mode is that the people playing it take it way too seriously: I spent more time taking trash-talk from my team than I did the opposing players. That's just a personal gripe, but the gameplay far outweighs any negative aspects.
Overall, Left 4 Dead 2 is a superb package barring the AI deficiencies and the slight nagging feeling that you've seen this all before, like someone put a fresh coat of paint over your living room and told you it is brand new. If you look hard enough, you can find many of the same faults in the sequel as the original had, but those are so few and far between that it doesn't really matter. Valve proved that they can apply their craft just as well in a year if they have a solid foundation to build upon which is what makes Left 4 Dead 2 such a great purchase. Just one question though: where the hell is Episode 3?!
That's my Left 4 Dead 2 review, guys! Have you played this game, and for what system? What are your thoughts on Valve's "bigger, better apocalypse?"
