Despite Notre Dame's need for interior defensive linemen, the Irish didn't impress Ian Williams (6-foot-2, 300 pounds) enough to sway him from his long-time favorite.
"I won't say that there isn't a small chance, but its pretty much Florida right now." Williams responded when asked if Notre Dame was still under consideration. "I'm going to announce November 3 for our homecoming parade."
Although Florida has a big lead Williams will take a look at a couple more programs before he announces.
"I'm going to visit Ole Miss this weekend. It's their homecoming game," Williams said. They've been recruiting me pretty hard the last couple months, so I just want to go up and see what the atmosphere is like up there.
"I might go to Clemson or Tennessee for a visit, but I'm not sure."

The Mega Mustache is an alleged power-up appearing in Goomsday Wii. It is required to wield the full powers of the Scepter of Superiority. Goomboss attempted to upgrade his mustache with the aid of Magikoopa magic. Meanwhile, Waluigi was greedily gathering the items required: 'Stachios.
At the final battle of the game, Waluigi combined his Mega Mustache and the Super Scepter to become Almighty Waluigi. He then battled Goomboss in his Grand Poo-bah Goomba form.
The Mega Mustache retains the shape of the bearer's original mustache. However, there are several differences:
- The Mega Mustache is twice the size of its bearer
- It glows white
- The air around it sparkles

As the last season of Lost lands on DVD, a one-sided rant from a devotee left all at sea
Inevitably, symbolically, and hopelessly, this article will contain many question marks. But, come on, The End? Really? Previously on Lost I was a happy camper, awaiting the great pay-off. And so I watched, as with much huff and puff the Island was saved. Some got off, some stayed, Jack died. And it turned out that the off-Island bit was neither an alternative timeline nor a flash-forward, but purgatory! Thats the joke, see they said the Island wasnt purgatory, but that doesnt mean the off-Island bit cant be! All of which has nothing to do with the basic premise of the show (i.e. explaining the Island) and cheats you cant lie to the viewer. If we see LA (or Hawaii pretending to be LA), we accept it as LA. How are we to know it was limbo? But none of that really bothers me. What gets my polar bear is the simple fact that after hanging in with Matthew Fox and co. right until the end, Im none the wiser...
Off they all went, clinking champers, to the big light of ambiguity, and Im left pondering too many things: essential trinkets of Island life that I might have missed and could help me be less of a bore about this. Is that magic white light the catch-all, deus ex machina gumbo to resolve everything from Walts powers and Kate seeing a horse to the healing powers, the time travel, or the childbirth issue (just a hangover from Jacobs real mother getting clubbed to death by his questions-within-questions Island other-mother, Allison Janney?)?
And thinking like this only gets me started. Did they ever explain how the numbers got put onto the Hatch? Did they ever resolve the Mr. Eko brothers plane-from-Nigeria issue? What about the mysterious cabin? The rocking chair? The infection? The mad Russian guy who kept not dying? And who built the damn statue with four toes the same guys who built that big chamber at the heart of the Island with its rather literal cork? Same guys who put the (why is it) frozen wheel in place? What about Juliet? She was just nice?
Its like a disease. The more I ponder, the less I know: if the evil red light was under the cork, where was the white light coming from (was it in the water one sip of a gammy stream and youre immortal?)? Is the white light the finger of God, or an electromagnetic surge (the Man Of Science solution)? Why was Hurley the ideal choice to be Island-keeper? The place had freaked him out for six series and there were no fried chicken joints. Oh, for it all to have been in his head. Or an alien invasion. Or an ancient civilisation that developed the first known edition of Mouse Trap. It goes on... Did Jugheads explosion do nothing apart from kill lovely, sweet, cuddly Juliet; destroy the Swan (thus meaning the Hatch could never have existed); and transport them from the 70s to present day? Faraday, Faraday, where are you? Oh, youre in purgatory a funny sort of place for a physicist to end up. And who kept up the miraculous peanut-butter-laden Dharma drops on schedule?
Wise men and women have preached that it is the journey that counts, not the destination. I say bugger off, smart alecs. I want to know who was shooting at Sawyer in the canoe; why the (why was it) frozen wheel took people to Tunisia; and whether there were just the Others or other Others.
Sane people, easy people, shiny happy people tell me I should just content myself that togetherness is all that matters, and those touched by the Island will get to go to Heaven or the Planet Theta or the kingdom of disappointing post-Lost careers. Or at least those who signed on Eko, we loved you, Eko why did you leave? And another thing was it just me, or wasnt the love of Sayids life Nadia, his childhood Iraqi sweetheart who he tortured, and not Shannon? And did it cost extra to give Maggie Grace a line?
Im sure Lost apologists out there can muddle together a formula to make sense of my meanderings, that Jacob made Hurley buy the comic that showed the polar bear to Walt and blah blah blah Sorry, Damon and Carlton (and Jack and J. J.), you took the soft option peace and goodwill, and no tricky stuff. There must be 20 survivors unaccounted for that stewardess from Cold Feet, for starters, and the two kids no-one gave a monkeys about.
And yet, for the characters I knew by name and felt by heart (Jack! Kate! Sawyer! Hurley! Frogurt!), it was a final season, and final episode, filled with lovely moments, those grace notes that defined the series. The terrific joke about the vending machine having to be switched off and on to work. The sweet reunions. And Jack finally being, well, Jack, with his beautiful demise back amongst the bamboo where he started alongside the constant of all constants Vincent. Dont get me wrong, it has emotional kick. There are fans who swear by its perfection. Its up for Emmys. American television history. But Im stuck in a metaphorical hatch, pressing the damn buttons...
If you ask me, and no-one actually has, the problem came way back, somewhere between seasons three and four. Too many good characters were killed off after we had invested so much in them Charlie was too important to die; Locke had to be Locke at the end, not an incarnation of evil as smoke cloud (clicking in a suspiciously mechanical fashion). Above all, they should never have left the Island. In that way the fundamental through-line would have stayed intact could Jack get the survivors of 815 home, and in so doing get the girl? With Charlie, Sun, Jin and Sayid alive and Claire back in charge of her hair... It might have been more predictable, but so much more satisfying.
If you havent seen it, theres a magnificent US college-made video that rollercoasters through all the unanswered questions (www.collegehumor.com/video:1936291), in its own way making light of the endless pondering. Perhaps the way the internet bought into the puzzle contributed to its downfall: the quest for answers became ravenous, with erudite Lost-loons triangulating the numbers to locate the Island, collating Sawyers reading list, or pontificating over Enlightenment philosophers Hume and Locke (by the end, Locke is a bit of a Kant). It was just too complicated to find its way out of the woods. Even J. J. Abrams, the series elusive godfather, admitted the ending didnt exactly stick to his original Lost bible, but he fully endorsed it. I dont.
I mean, where was Aaron? Did that bird really say Hurley? And what is the significance of the image of the sunken Island at the beginning of Season 6? Are we to assume millennia later it finally popped its cork and sank?
Does this mean all of Lost counts for nothing? Its another question I cant answer. The first two seasons remain mystery-making at its best, exemplary stuff. Even through the rest of the long adventure, the levels of drama, humour, characterisation and delicious befuddlement remained at a premium level. Lets be clear: only something this good could hurt this much. But hurt it does, and the feeling is one of abandonment. In fact, I feel lost. My spinning top spins on.

Food Chain
Nudibranchs eat hydroids, coral, anemones, sponges, barnacles, sea slugs, fish eggs, and other nudibranchs.
Works Cited
Nudibranch basic facts
Pronouced noo-de-brank
Scientific name: Nudibranchia
The nudibranch is a plankton.
A plankton is a small organism that floats in fresh water.
The nudibranch is also a decomposer.
A decomposer is an organism that decomposes organic material.
Nudibranchs move,or 'crawl', on the muscular action of a flat foot, which leaves a slimy trail.
Some can swim by flexing its foot muscle.
Body Structure
The nudibranch has a rhinophore, which are two horns on the top of it's head.
Nudibranchs also have a slimey shell.
Nudibranchs have cool patterns because of the pigments in the food they eat.
They have a muscle called a foot in which they use to move.
Each nudibranch is both male and female producing sperm and eggs. To mate, two nudibranchs come together side by side and pass sperm sacs through a tube in their 'neck' to each other. Then they both lay eggs.
Avoding and Catching Prey
Since the Nudibranch doesn't have many predators they can easily hide. The Nudibranch usually uses its colors to camoflauge with the enviroment. This also helps them catch prey.
Nudibranchs belong to the organism "Opisthobranchs".
Sea Pens
Spanish Dancer
Bubble Shell
Leaf slug
Side-grilled slug
Sea Hare
They are very photogenic
Nudibranches, Green Sea Wrasses, Yellow Corris Wrasses, True Peppermint Shrimp, and the Copperband Butterfly eat Nudibranchs.
Why are they important?
Since Nudibranch are marine invertebrates, they are evidence that there are other living creatures in the area
Help understand evolutionary process
Help understand the evolution of mollusks
Nudibranchs can be used to make medicines for humans to help bad conditions
Nudibranchs mainly live in the ocean(salt water). They can be found in tide pools and deep water too.
Oil spills and plastic in the ocean can threatin the lives of nudibranchs.
Unless your the nudibranchs prey, nudibranchs do not endanger other organisms.

Southern California athletic director Mike Garrett is faced with the challenge of finding a replacement for Pete Carroll.
Nine years ago, he plucked Carroll from the NFL. He may be looking to do the same thing this time around. Initial reports were that Jack Del Rio of the Jacksonville Jaguars was his top choice. The coach, however, said he is staying in the NFL.
Another NFL name being floated by ESPN's Adam Schefter is Steve Mariucci, who coached both the 49ers and Lions, after his one-year stint at the University of California.
Garrett wasn't talking about his search to reporters. In addition to Mariucci, his list is expected to include current Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti, who coached the Ducks for 14 seasons, and Boise State coach Chris Petersen.
The search could be complicated by the completion of a NCAA investigation into possible illegal benefits given to Reggie Bush. Yahoo sports reported the school will meet with the Committee on Infractions next month.
Garrett also must move quickly to create certainty for a recruiting class that was expected to be ranked in the top five. With no coach and possible NCAA sanctions hanging over its head, it has made some recruits wary of sticking with their commitments.

Client support: Phone: (+357) 22314160
FX & CFD trading involves significant risk
Canadian monthly wholesale sales
grew slightly less than expected in April as gains in the computers
and communications equipment, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural
supplies industries were partly offset by lower outlays on motor
vehicles and food.
The value of sales grew for the fourth consecutive month, climbing 0.2% to 49.03 billion Canadian dollars ($48.02 billion), Statistics Canada said Wednesday. Sales volume, which feeds into the calculation of monthly economic output, grew 0.4%.
The consensus call was for the value of sales to rise 0.3%, according to a report from Royal Bank of Canada. The prior month's gain was revised down to 0.1% from the originally estimated 0.3%.
Only three of the seven sectors posted increases in April, accounting for about half the total sales.
The machinery, equipment and supplies sector was up 2.6% as sales of computers and communications equipment and supplies jumped 10.4%.
Sales of pharmaceuticals and pharmacy supplies boosted the personal and household goods sector up 1.6%. An 8.9% spike in sales of agricultural supplies drove the catch-all miscellaneous sector up 0.7%.
The motor vehicles and parts sector declined 1.9%. Wholesalers of food, beverages and tobacco reported a 1.4% drop, dragged by lower food sales.
Overall wholesale inventories rebounded 0.3% following a revised 0.3% drop the prior month, which was originally estimated to have edged up 0.1%.
The inventory-to-sales ratio, a measure of the number of months taken to exhaust inventories if sales stayed at the current level, was steady at 1.26.
U.S. Stocka open: Dow 15,312.86 -5.37 -0.04%, Nasdaq 3,483.58 +1.40 +0.04%, S&P 1,651.33 -0.48 -0.03%

Hi Catalin, thanks for your effort. It would need to be without spaces between the leafs, meaning the body would also be fuller/rounded to shape. Have you seen the star i uploaded? from 2D to 3D (produced) ... same possible with clover? I am reviewing/processing lots of messages received. However efforts like yours help me narrow design and designer. feel free to elaborate else I will get back to you. Thanks again, alain

Brantz, born in Queensland to Dutch parents, began a modelling career in 1985 while attending St Peters Lutheran College in Indooroopilly, and through her time at Charles Sturt University.
Brantz has two sons and a daughter.[1] She is married to Fox Sports football commentator Simon Hill.[2]
Television career[edit]
In 2000, she began her television presenting career with SBS where she became a presenter of On the Ball, before filling in as host of Toyota World Sports and later co-hosting the show in 2006 with Les Murray. She also became the face of SBS during their coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
In July 2006, just after the World Cup, Brantz was recruited by Nine CEO Eddie McGuire to front several sporting programmes, including Nine News, The Cricket Show, Sunday & The Footy Show.
During the 2006–2007 summer season, Brantz presented a weekly highlights show of the National Basketball League on the Nine Network, which began on 15 October 2006. She also did "analysis and roving reports" for the network's 2006–07 Ashes cricket coverage. On 19 February 2007, she was appointed the sports presenter on Nightline.
In 2010, she appeared on Fox Sports News reading sports news.
From late 2010, Brantz joined ABC1 as sports presenter and host for the channel. At ABC, she is the host and 'side-line commentator' for the W-League (Australia) that airs on Sunday afternoons on the network and the WNBL that airs on Saturday afternoons. She is also the host for New South Wales viewers of the Shute Shield, as well as the international Hockey, Football and Basketball coverage.
Brantz has hosted the Anzac Day Dawn Service from Gallipoli in 2012 - 2015, will host the Gallipoli symphony and the 2015 Centenary commemorations of the 'Battle for Lone Pine' as well as once more host the Australian of the Year Awards and the Flag Raising and Citizenship Ceremony, also in the National Capital on Australia Day (2011-2015).
In 2012, she led the ABC's coverage of the London Paralympic Games.[3] She also fronted the 2013 New Year's Eve coverage alongside Lawrence Mooney.
Other roles[edit]
As well as her on-air television duties, Brantz is presenter of a pre- and post-match function at the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium. At this event, she chats with various commentators from the sport being played at the time. She is also a corporate MC, facilitating conferences and awards nights.
Brantz is also an Ambassador and student mentor for the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation and is family ambassador of the Interactive Games & Entertainment Association.[4][5][6]

How many times have you heard a woman say, "I can't find a man"? A large number of single women are looking for love in all the wrong places. Some may already know how to cook, but are looking for the "how to†on getting a man to the table. Others may not have a clue about what to put in a pot in order to entice a man's interest. Today's younger women may not know how to cook, or may cook very little, and will be intrigued by the thought of getting a man through food — a concept they've probably never considered. We surveyed hundreds of men, both married and single, with the result that while being able to cook might seem traditionally old-fashioned, sometimes old-fashioned works!
If You Wanna Get a Man, Learn How to Cook Book focuses on the courtship process from the woman's perspective, emphasizing the old-school adage of "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!" Filled with practical dating advice and recipes ranging from very simple to complex, this book speaks to a segment of society that is hungry for insight, information, and attention. Single women who want to learn how to cook to please a current man or to attract the attention and interest of a potential man. Single women who hope to enter into a committed relationship.
Most of today's relationship cookbooks focus on sex or seduction through food. Sex and seduction are easy, and while sex is an important part of a relationship, if that is the singular objective going in, then the relationship may not last very long. If You Wanna Get a Man, Learn How to Cookbook is a refreshing take on the relationship/love-guide book because it focuses on the importance of building a healthy relationship based on trust, communication, understanding, and acceptance. If You Wanna Get a Man, Learn How to Cook Book is a how-to relationship book that will stand out because of its controversial and conversation-provoking approach, funny analogies, and yummy recipes. Not only will women want to read it to see just what we have to say about getting a man, but they will want to read it because it is funny, entertaining, and timely.
If You Wanna Get a Man, Learn How To Cook Book is set up as a series of menu offerings or stages in a relationship. Each "course" discusses an aspect of the courting process followed by recipes with sidebar notes and tips.
There are nine courses or chapters, and at the end of each chapter there is an intermezzo. The intermezzo is an Italian term for a palate-cleansing course, usually a sorbet, which is served during an elaborate meal. Our literary intermezzos provide snippets from various men and women who give their take on a woman cooking, or not cooking, for a man.

Description: Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he7;d seen it all. But he7;s never met a cricket before, which really isn7;t surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City-the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He7;d be there still if he hadn7;t followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone7;s picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides-and friends-than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures-from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents7; newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one-not even Chester himself-realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two.

The Charity Commission will consult on charging charities to pay for regulation, it said in a strategic plan.
The strategic plan for 2015-18 said the Commission has shifted resources into monitoring and investigations. It has identified four key strategic aims for the Commission which are "protecting charities from abuse or mismanagement"; "enabling trustees to run their charities effectively"; "encouraging greater transparency and accountability in charities"; and "operating as an efficient expert regulator with sustainable funding".
'Alternative funding sources'
The plan says the Charity Commission aims to reduce its dependence on taxpayer funding, and will do this by actively pursuing "alternative funding sources", including consulting on proposals for an annual charge for registered charities.
It says it will invest the additional funding given to it by the Treasury in 2014 in "redesigning our operating model and business processes to reduce complexity and achieve higher efficiency and in new digital applications, making it easier for trustees and others to deal with us".

RuthC: IMO, this challenge is a farce. The host (who has only entered 4 challenges himself, and voted only once,) seems to be allowing any insect to be in the challenge. He hasn't answered private messages concerning the challenge, and I wonder how and why DPR accepted him to be a new host! Not happy. There are responsibilities inherent to being a Challenge Host.
Totally agree with RuthC.

I rather like the /idea/ of this picture, but not the /technique/. I agree that at full size it looks terrible.
A very poetic image. Congratulations & thanks.
A well-deserved first place.
At 800 ISO some noise is expected but, at full screen resolution, I am somewhat surprised at the amount of noise displayed. Have you not been able to use any de-noiser feature in post-processing?
Some may think this is just a lot of luck, but I know it's much more than that; it means being observant and patient. Sincere congratulations!
I have one question: in your photo description you wrote: Shutter speed: 1/50000 sec.
but your camera's top speed is 1/4000. So... ?
Great capture of a pretty elusive subject, congratulations.
OK, OK, I'll chill out! Thanks for your reply, /myseventhlife/. My (over-)reaction probably due to too many years of teaching students the exact value of words. Time to retire and go photograph the world, castles, palaces and all its riches ...
I do accept that the Challenges host is the master of ceremonies and entitled to accept or refuse entries. However, words have meanings attached to them, which most people abide to, if we do not want a new Babel Tower catastrophy.
Wikipedia states that:
1. A castle (from Latin castellum) is a type of fortified structure built in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. (hum, that seems to exclude photographs taken in other parts of the world...)
2.A palace is a grand residence, especially a royal residence or the home of a head of state or some other high-ranking dignitary, such as a bishop or archbishop.
I do not see either type of structure featured in this poster's entry, although I admire the ingeniosity of the poster for proposing an image of their children playing in trees in this challenge. Well-done!
lovely tree and interesting story!

Description: John Tyler Bonner, one of our most distinguished and creative biologists, here offers a completely new perspective on the role of size in biology. In his hallmark friendly style, he explores the universal impact of being the right size. By examining stories ranging from Alice in Wonderland to Gulliver's Travels, he shows that humans have always been fascinated by things big and small. Why then does size always reside on the fringes of science and never on the center stage? Why do biologists and others ponder size only when studying something else--running speed, life span, or metabolism?Why Size Matters, a pioneering book of big ideas in a compact size, gives size its due by presenting a profound yet lucid overview of what we know about its role in the living world. Bonner argues that size really does matter--that it is the supreme and universal determinant of what any organism can be and do. For example, because tiny creatures are subject primarily to forces of cohesion and larger beasts to gravity, a fly can easily walk up a wall, something we humans cannot even begin to imagine doing.Bonner introduces us to size through the giants and dwarfs of human, animal, and plant history and then explores questions including the physics of size as it affects biology, the evolution of size over geological time, and the role of size in the function and longevity of living things.As this elegantly written book shows, size affects life in its every aspect. It is a universal frame from which nothing escapes.

In a blistering condemnation, hundreds of Holocaust survivors criticized Israel's attacks on Gaza as a genocide.
The survivors took out a half-page ad in The New York Times to call out Israel, and the United States for funding Israeli weapons. The survivors even took fellow Holocaust survivor and famed author Elie Wiesel to task.
More than 300 Holocaust survivors and their descendants signed the ad, calling for a "full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel" if the violence in Gaza doesn't immediately end.
"Genocide begins with the silence of the world," the ad reads.
"Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel's abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel's wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water."
The ad concludes, "'Never again' must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!"
The current violence between Israel and Hamas flared in early July. Since then, each side mounted near daily attacks on the other. Israel has been widely criticized for heavy civilian losses in Gaza.
Cease-fire after cease-fire has fallen apart, often after Hamas restarted firing rockets at Israel. Israel began a new bombing campaign targeting large buildings in Gaza on Saturday.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composting apparatus which generates malodors to a less extent.
SOLUTION: Thermally insulating materials 4 are attached to the outer side of a vessel 2 opened in its upper part and a bottom member 3 formed with pores 3a is attached into the vessel 2. A housing section 7 is formed by a segment upper than the bottom member 3 of the vessel 2 and the bottom member 3. The interior of the housing section 7 is partitioned by pass partition plates 6a, etc., to form a plurality of garbage housing sections, such as garbage housing sections 9a. Since the upper part of the vessel 2 is opened, the garbage housing sections 9a, etc., are so constructed that steam can be released to the upper part. Further, the garbage housing sections 9a, etc., have the pores 3b at their bottoms and therefore the garbage housing sections 9a, etc., are so constructed that the steam can be released from their lower parts. The garbage housing sections 9a, etc., can release the moisture contained by the garbage put therein from the top and bottom.

Richard Rohmer
Toronto: PaperJacks, 1983
I wonder when Eaton's closed down its book department. Well before the end, wasn't it? I know it was still going on 26 June 1986 because that day I visited the downtown Montreal store where Jacques Hébert was signing copies of his most recent. I bought a copy for my mum.
No one really went to Eaton's for books, did they? Yet, the lone paperback edition of Richard Rohmer's Retaliation provides strong evidence that its president, chairman and CEO was also a reader and a critic.
"This romp has appropriate amounts of financial ledger-demain, unscrupulous political acts, violence and romance. Lots of action and lots of fun."
Romp isn't the right word, nor is "ledger-demain" (he means legerdemain), but unscrupulous political acts, violence and romance do figure. Whether their amounts are appropriate depend, I think, on individual taste. Romance barely registers, levels of violence and political activity are a touch lower than one might expect in a thriller, and legerdemain is simply not in evidence.
The story is really quite simple:
Paul James, former executive of the "Canadian International Bank of Canada", comes up with a plan that would see the bank team up with the "Toronto Depository Bank" and Saudi Arabia to purchase "BankAmerica". Such is his confidence in the scheme that he commits $100 million of his own money – made in "the oil patch in Calgary" – to the effort. CIBC chairman Ross Harris encourages his old colleague to team up with the "Royal Canadian Bank", the "Bank of Montreal-Quebec" and Kuwait to also buy "Citicorp". No competition between banks, it seems.
Paul moves fast. Within two weeks, he has rented a Swiss castle, loaded it with computers, and has begun buying stock in both American banks. Disaster threatens when the Mafia abduct the computer supplier and his ugly daughter. This proves a momentary glitch. The ransom is paid, the kidnappers are killed, and the money is returned. The Mafia seek revenge, but fail. This being fiction, they throw in the towel.
By the end of the fourth trading day Paul has succeeded in getting controlling interest in the two banks, earning $1.86 million on his investment. Washington is pissed and imposes strict sanctions and the Canadian economy collapses, resulting in "a depression worse than that of the 1930s." Paul suns himself at his Barbados getaway.
|The Globe & Mail, 6 November 1982
Who else do we got?
Well, there's Stephen B. Roman, who had once tried to sue Pierre Trudeau for coming out against the sale of an Ontario uranium mine to the Americans. Seems he still held a grudge.
There's also Donald Campbell, Chairman and CEO of Maclean-Hunter, publisher of Rohmer's The Green North. Bit of a book connection there, as there is with Jack Rhind, who apart from being Chairman and CEO of Confederation LIfe was a director with Cannon Book Distribution.
Not a banker among them, I note.
Bank notes: Paul's risky investment brings a return of 1.86 percent. Though inflation is in the double-digits, this is portrayed as considerable. As the result American sanctions, the value of the Canadian dollar falls to US$0.60. This appears to have had no effect on Paul's fortune. At the end of the novel, the Canadian banks are on the brink of collapse. Ross Harris regrets nothing.
Trivia: Simpson-Sears' C. Richard Sharpe served with the author in 411 Squadron.
Object: A mass market paperback. The page count is identical to that of the hardcover. Same plates? I can't be bothered to find out.
Access: Library and Archives Canada, Bibliothèque et Archives nationals du Québec and fifteen university libraries. More miss than hit in our public libraries.
Copies of the paperback are listed online for one dollar; copies of the hardcover first edition begin at two. One Toronto bookseller is selling a Fine copy inscribed by the author for $25.
*Anyone interested in my criticisms – and those of my pals Chris and Stan – is directed to the Reading Richard Rohmer project.

Sir Thomas Aston, 1st Baronet
Sir Thomas Aston, 1st Baronet (29 September 1600 – 24 March 1645) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1640. He fought for the Royalist cause in the English Civil War.
Aston was born in Shropshire, the eldest son of John Aston of Aston, Cheshire and his wife Maud Needham, daughter of Robert Needham.[1] His uncle was the soldier Arthur Aston.[2] He matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford on 28 March 1617, aged 16, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts on 8 July 1619. In 1620, he was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn.[3]
Aston was created a baronet of Aston, in the County of Chester by King Charles I of England on 25 July 1628 .[4] He was appointed High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1635. In April 1640 he was elected Member of Parliament for Cheshire in the Short Parliament.[5]
Civil War[edit]
When the First English Civil War broke out between the king and parliament, Aston took part with the Royalists, and was in command at Middlewich in March 1643, when he was defeated by Sir William Brereton in the First Battle of Middlewich. The Royalists lost two cannons and five hundred stand of arms. Few were killed, but the prisoners included many of the principal Royalists who took part, and the town suffered at the hands of the Parliamentarians, who made free with the property of burgesses and the plate of the church. Aston escaped, but when a few days later he returned to Chester, he was placed under arrest at Pulford, where he wrote a defence of his conduct which furnishes a very minute account of the affair. William Axon stated in his biography on Aston in the DNB that this was an interesting picture of the civil war.[6]
Aston apparently freed himself from censure and rejoined the king's army and indeed is said to have suffered a second defeat from Brereton at Macclesfield in 1643.[6][7] He was afterwards captured in a skirmish in Staffordshire. When in prison at Stafford he tried to escape, but the attempt was discovered by a soldier who struck him on the head. This and other wounds received in the war brought on a fever, of which he died at Stafford on 24 March 1645.[6]
Aston married firstly in 1627 Magdalene Poulteney, daughter of Sir John Poulteney and had by her two sons and two daughters, who all died young.[2] Magdalene died in 1635, and he remarried in 1639 to Anne Willoughby, the daughter of Sir Henry Willoughby, 1st Baronet.[2] By his second wife he had two daughters and another son Willoughby, who succeeded his father as baronet.[4] Aston was survived by his wife until 1688.[2]

Have recently just taken over IT for my company's core locations about 750 Kms apart and having an AD (primary on one location and secondary on the other) implementation.
We have recently started loading up Win 10 Pro on about 40 machines and have observed:
a. Huge traffic bandwidth hitting the firewalls in the form of Windows updates
b. AKAMAI entries in firewall logs
Would like to know the Windows Update best practices that can be accomplished by a newbie like me with minimum downtime on the network.
For e.g. setting up a WSUS server, scheduling and rolling updates.
c. Also any way I can block AKAMAI? Symantec loves him too. Can I do this and still not block updates (assuming alternate CDNs are available for MS and Symantec).
Sorry if my questions are without details. Do let me know if you need some more info to be able to help me out.

I'll be honest, I can't shed any light on B and C but as for A... we've also seen large bandwidth usage from WSUS with Windows 10 updates. I think we are going to put in a downstream server at the site that has W10 machines in an attempt to curb the bandwidth usage. We'll probably also get our MSP to put some QoS on the line too.

Best guide
I've seen is WSUS 3.0 Step by Step
but keep in mind, Microsoft has made a few changes with Windows 10 that modify some of the behavior listed in the document.
Oct 18, 2016 at 1:19 UTC
You need to install Server 2012 R2 and install the WSUS role in both sites. This will install WSUS 6.2 which works with Windows 10. Make one site your "Upstream" WSUS server and the other your downstream WSUS server. You apply all approvals on the upstream server. Also, make sure the both DCs are Global Catalog servers so if the link between the sites goes down or the PDC Emulator fails the other DC can handle all login duties.

but keep in mind, Microsoft has made a few changes with Windows 10 that modify some of the behavior listed in the document.
Also, Denis Kelley is correct, the WSUS 3.0 Step by Step guide is still the best guide available.
Take a look at OverDrive's WSUS cleanup scripts. This will need to be installed and run on both WSUS servers but it will keep your WSUS environment humming.
Finally, when doing the initial deployment, don't select Device Drivers as a category and only select the software you actually have, with one exception. If you have SQL Servers (and you will with OverDrive's scripts), select all the Visual Studio updates. They aren't very big but SQL Server Management Studio depends on Visual Studio components and this will keep them upgraded.
Nov 2, 2016 at 5:34 UTC
Someone told me SCCM is an upgrade to WSUS and we happen to have a license lying around. Can I do SCCM on one site and WSUS on another?
Also, the WSUS on both sites will need to talk to each other? I dont want them to, considering my measly 2 Mbps MPLS connectivity between the sites.

Galaxy S6 Active: first leaked image
Those who are fans of waterproof smartphones were probably sorely disappointed with the release of Samsung's new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. While last year's Galaxy S5 was safe from water hazards, the S6 models shed that feature. This is probably why Samsung will be introducing a new model for its Active line, soon to be dubbed the Galaxy S6 Active. The first images of the device have been leaked, giving us an early look at the front and back of weather-resistant smartphone.

A/N: Fic was written for the KFM duelling challenge, theme being 'Desire'.
Legacy of Malachor
The first time I really noticed her was just over ten years ago. She was standing on the bridge of the Republic battle cruiser, the Paladin, her hand pressed against the observation window, her face wan and drawn. The Mandalorians were pushing back at us, hard, and I longed to see them die, to suffer for what they had done to my people, to my home world. If I'd only known the consequences then. I was young, impulsive and the lust for revenge ached in my heart. She saw it, she felt my anger, but that's no surprise, she was a Jedi and I was just a tech.
That was the past, and it doesn't pay to dwell on it. I don't like to talk about the War, it reminds me too much of…
I can hear her laughing. Since Malachor, since Kreia's death, she is always laughing. I don't know what happened down there, on the planets surface, but she is changed. It was subtle at first, I…almost didn't notice it. Mical did, but then he was always sensitive to her. He tried to warn us-I guess we didn't listen then, and I refused to see it. She was, is the General and I've fought at her side and seen the goodness in her, in her actions and in her compassion for others. But now? Now I don't know.
She has been teaching me the way of the Force, I was reluctant to learn, but she can be persuasive if it suits her needs. Her influence is everywhere; I see it in the others, Atton, Mical and Mira. They follow her, as do I, but their cruelty-especially Atton's makes me doubt her, because they are changing, too…
The ship is in a bad way, I've been at the repairs for three months now. I suppose it's what you expect for crashing into Malachor-I'm surprised that we're still in one piece. As I turned back to the scaffolding I glanced over my shoulder, expecting to see my remote-it's a habit of old, and I shrugged and turned away when I saw that the small droid wasn't there. Just another creation of mine, used and abused; another legacy of Malachor.
I heard footsteps behind me, and I watched as Mical strode across the garage. I'm shocked by his appearance; the changes in him are even more evident than in Atton. It's in his face, the way his cold eyes pierce mine. I turn away quickly in case he sees the horror that I feel. The tread recedes into the distance, and I know where he has gone. To her, my General. Already I hear their pitiless laughter echoing hollowly through the dormitory.
I… am starting to have doubts. About myself. I can't seem to help it. She has shown me things through the Force, things I didn't want to know. I've been able to resist so far, but it's hard fighting this mental battle with her and I'm growing tired. Her voice whispers to me, tainting my mind with images that I don't want to see. I feel her lust, her anger and I try to push away, but it grows more difficult day by day. I question what has become of her, why she is doing this, but I know. Deep down I know. I just don't want to admit it.
I walked to the workbench to retrieve my spanner, glancing up as Mira sauntered across the room. She leant against the workbench, her elbows resting on the surface of the table cupping her chin, her green eyes sparkling mischievously. I wondered if I could reach her, to warn her as Mical once tried, but then I notice the faint grey lines on her delicate pale face, and I knew it was too late. She smiled at me; it was a predatory smile without warmth. I suppressed the shudder that I felt as icy fingers trailed up my back, chilling my skin. Her cold palm snaked its way around my shoulder and I felt her breath hot against my neck.
Mira glared at me fearfully as I thrust her hand away, her slender wrist trapped in the metal glove of my left hand. I stared down at her, watching as she bit her lip nervously-a habit she had when she was uncertain of things. I smiled as I welcomed the rush of power that I held over her flow through me. It awoke a desire of old, a need to punish, to hurt others, as I'd been hurt many years ago. I could break your wrist, crush every bone… the alien thought invaded me and I dropped her hand in shame. Is this how it starts? She was silent as she watched me, amusement dancing merrily in her bright emerald eyes. I had to move, to get away from her before I did something.
I grasped the hydro spanner tightly and turned away from her with effort. I felt her eyes boring through my back, through the shirt that I wore, as I walked uneasily back to the scaffolding. I closed my eyes and sighed with relief as I put distance between her and myself. Mira was becoming strong, and it was getting harder to resist her, despite knowing what her intentions were. She wanted to break me before the General did.
I'm afraid. I'm frightened for them, and what they have become…
My presence will only be tolerated for so long. They still need me to work the repairs on the Hawk. Would it be easier to give in, to join them? I shook my head at the thought, no…no, that is not the way. I glanced across the room, my skin prickling. Mira had gone, but she'd been replaced with someone far more ominous.
"Bao-Dur. Come to me. Now."
The General stood in the doorway, her figure dwarfed by the height of the circular entrance. She was robed in black, and she looked small and lost standing there, that for a moment I was reminded of the Jedi I first encountered on the Paladin all those long years ago, but then she smiled, and the illusion was shattered. My feet betrayed me and I neared her, my breath catching in my throat, my lungs quivering as I tried to exhale. I'm more frightened of her than I realised.
She stood close to me; her head bowed demurely, just an act of feigned innocence, which I find disturbing in this once good-natured woman. A lacquered nail slowly, seductively trailed its way up my chest, and I flinched at the unwanted touch. She raised her head, her long hair falling across her disfigured cheek as she looked up at me. I gazed past her, not wishing to see the unspoken horror in her eyes.
She placed her hand on my chest, her palm soothing its way to my neck. I grimaced as her fingers touched my skin, and I held myself rigidly still, telling myself that it would be over soon, that she would grow tired of this seduction for the day. I was wrong.
A finger caressed my cheek and trailed softly across my lips, and I froze at the sudden dark compulsion that ran through my mind. Her thoughts brushed against mine in my weakness, and as she smiled, I knew that she had read the thought that ran like fire through my mind. Her other arm slipped around my neck, and I fought the inner turmoil that her forbidding presence had awakened. I was weakening, and my lack of self-control scared me. Confident fingers touched at my consciousness, filling my head with visions of passion, hate, rage and remembered revenge. I struggled against her, pushing her from my mind as I regained some semblance of inner calm, and I sensed the loathing and petulant anger as she withdrew from my mind. I shut my eyes and breathed deeply, not caring that she saw.
Her hands slipped down my chest, as she stood back. I warily opened my eyes, and looked down at her, seeing the inky black tattoo that marred the side of her neck. She turned her head away from me, her pallid hair spilling down her shoulders. Abruptly, she laughed, the sound ghastly to my ears, chilling the blood in my veins. I stepped uneasily away from her as she turned to face me, the blue veins that lined her features stood out starkly against the grey pallor of her skin.
"You will be mine, Bao-Dur," she whispered, "Be sure of that."
I found my voice, buried in a shroud of secret longing, "No…I will not join you," I replied hoarsely.
She stepped closer to me, and I recoiled as her cold lips touched my cheek and travelled to my jaw. I wanted it to end, but she is too strong. As she kissed my lips, I struggled against the desire that tore its way through my senses, blinding me to all reason.
I pulled her to me, and kissed her savagely.
She placed her hands against my chest, and pushed me away from her. I felt confusion and disgust for what I had just done settle like brittle ice in the pit of my stomach. She smiled knowingly as she strode past me, her shoulder brushing against my arm. She stopped and looked back at me with flat dead eyes.
"I have more pressing matters to attend to, but I am sure that you will wait Bao-Dur. I am not finished with you. You will see the truth, instead of the hypocrisy and lies that the Jedi feast upon. And you will join us."
I watched as she left the garage, and angrily wiped my mouth against the back of my hand. I cursed myself for my momentary lapse of weakness, but I knew that it was already too late. I had let her in, the General, and now I felt the seed of corruption that she had placed within me sprout as it reached towards her dark taint, as a plant reaches to the sun for its nourishment.
That was a week ago, and now like the others, I am changing. I stare at the reflection that looks back at me with dark bloodshot eyes. The first tracings of pale blue veins line my ashen skin. I rub a hand across my forehead, and frown at my mirrored self. There is still a small part of me that tries to fight against what I am becoming, but it is diminishing, receding as I grow in strength.
I pause as I walk from the mirror. My time has come, but even now, I cannot help but feel a sense of apprehension as she calls my name, summoning me to her. I dare not refuse her call; she is my General, and I obey her now, as I did at Malachor.
