Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (ファイナルファンタジークリスタルクロニクル クリスタルベアラー) is an action-adventure game for the Wii, first announced to the public at E3 in May 2006[4] and was released on November 12, in Japan and on December 26, 2009, in North America.[2][1]
The game takes place in the world of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles at a time when magic is banned, but some people are still born with such powers and are called "Crystal Bearers". In this time of imbalance between technology and magic, a group of friends must fight against a threat to the Crystal Bearers and to civilization itself.
The game was well received in Japan, with praise for the games well-written story and characters but criticizing the games map system. Western reviewers were not as positive, citing as a negative that the game was less of a traditional RPG and more like an action adventure game.

Like its GameCube predecessor, Crystal Bearers features fully real-time combat, but unlike its predecessor, this game focuses on single-player, free-roaming, action-adventure gameplay. Enemies and regular civilians apparently are able to show emotion or status effects via symbols hanging over their heads, such as hearts for attraction or musical notes for satisfaction. The producers have suggested that enemies do not necessarily grow stronger as the game progresses, but that they gain a wider variety of tactics and abilities instead. It has also been shown that some enemies have the ability to hurt fellow creatures also opposing the player. This is part of a reaction AI system, in which different creatures react in unique ways to other creatures nearby and to the player's attacks. Telekinetic abilities feature heavily in the game. The player is able to perform different combat actions via telekinesis, including moving certain enemies against their will, making them use their abilities against other enemies, and utilizing various objects as telekinetic projectiles. The player is also able to perform some type of reaction element with creatures that will affect them in different manners. To further the telekinetic gameplay, the player is able to utilize his abilities to interact with the environment, such as to activate switches or grab onto ledges and other objects from a distance via an energy-based grappling hook; furthermore, he is able to perform such actions as moving civilians against their will. Civilians also share a trait with enemies in that they are able to attack the player when irritated by his actions.
Unlike other RPG oriented Final Fantasy games, this game, being an action adventure, does not have a leveling system; instead, the player can customize Layle's stats using accessories that the player makes using monster drops and other items that are found while exploring. The player can also increment the character's maximum HP by clearing miasma stream fights and collecting the myrrh of each area. Exploration and free-roaming are heavily focused on this game to the point that only 4 out of the 15 bosses in the game are actually needed to progress through the story and the rest are scattered over the world for the player to look for on his own. Based on the most recent video trailers and the general setting of the game, fighting in the sky is also a feature of gameplay. Quicktime events will also appear throughout the game, forcing the player to take necessary actions with the controller during certain events, such as aiming the remote and shooting demons while falling through the sky. It has been commented that while most of these events are for mere enjoyment, some must be completed in order to advance the story. Other gameplay aspects as hinted at by the trailers, including participation in minigames, traversing the land on chocobos (which can ram through enemies and some background objects), riding on trains and swimming.
The game is set far into the future of the Crystal Chronicles franchise, taking place in the same world as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, populated by four races.[5] During the war, the tribe of the Lilty apparently banished the Yuke into their own dimensional world. There was a time when "swords have changed to guns" and the arcane arts are outlawed by the Liltian Kingdom. However, some people are born with the power of magic inside of themselves called "Crystal Bearers". Any bearer has her or his random crystallized body part like an eye or a small part on the skin. In March 2008, an official advertising article about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates noted that the Nintendo DS installment "sets the stage" for The Crystal Bearers.[6]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2014)
1000 years have passed in the events of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, the destruction of the Yuke Crystal during the Great War, with its Tribe suffers with apparent annihilation, and the Lilties triumph over against them in the world as they bring it into a new age of science and reason through machines called "crystal reactors", with the use of magic outlawed and rule over the Clavats and few Selkies who comply to the new order. In the new era of imbalance exists a rare breed of powerful beings called "Crystal Bearers", whose magical abilities have led them to be feared and scorned by the public. Layle is hired to escort the new passenger airship Alexis, the pinnacle of Lilty technology and a symbol of their current dominance. As "Alexis II" is besieged by a horde of monstrous birds, Zus, Layle jumps off of Keiss' escort ship and shoots down the Zus with his sentry gun. As Layle lands on the deck of the ship, a portal opens and Layle uses his telekinetic powers to pull the mysterious Yuke named Amidatelion out from it, and nicknames her "Goldenrod".[7] The Yuke takes the Alexis' crystal shards with a strange piece of crystal called a "Crystal Idol". Layle fights her, but she rides on one of the zus to escape. After Layle steals the Idol, the loss of the crystal shards forces Layle to fly the airship, with his own crystal powers fueling the reactors and safely crashlanding the ship in front of the capital. After the incident, Keiss and Layle pursues Amidatelion. However, as the game progresses, Layle learns that Jegran's power is threatening everyone in the world.
- Layle (レイル Reiru) Voiced by: Makoto Yasumura (Japanese); Darrel Guilbeau (English) - A Clavat mercenary and one of the eponymous "Crystal Bearers". His crystal located on his right cheek allows him to use telekenetic gravity powers to manipulate himself, any objects and others.
- Belle (ベル Beru) Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi (Japanese); Elle Deets (English) - A brown-haired female Selkie and a camera photographer, who finds to exchange information for her own benefit, stows away on the Alexis' maiden voyage to encounter sensitive information on Jegran as bounty and decides to travel with Layle to make a fortune off him, but she remains defiant and continues to pursue her next story.
- Keiss (クァイス Kaisu) Voiced by: Noriaki Sugiyama (Japanese); David Vincent (English) - A red-haired male Selkie and Layle's partner. Unlike other ones, he devoted himself to the Lilty kingdom, works directly with Jegran to rise up the ladder before being a military colonel.
- Amidatelion (アミダテリオン Amidaterion) Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka (Japanese); Caitlin Glass (English) - A lavishly decorated Yuke and one of the "Crystal Bearers" who is seemingly the last of her race, nicknamed "Goldenrod" by Layle. She uses her power to bend space and summons monsters, like Bahamut. Her goal is revive her race and the "Crystal Principle" to restore the Yuke Tribe's crystal, but after aiding Layle, Jegran turns her into a crystal statue.
- Althea Sol Alfiraria (アルテア Arutea) Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya (Japanese); Carrie Savage (English) - A Lilty with spectacles and the princess of the Lilty Kingdom with a crystal idol on her chest. Her mother died when she was young, and her father turned into statue by Jegran at the "Alexis".
- High Commander Jegran (ジュグラン Juguran) Voiced by: Ryuzaburo Otomo (Japanese); Michael McConnohie (English) - The Lilty's High Commander, who attempts to conquer the kingdom by turning it into a military state through his power of the crystals. One such attempt made him a "Crystal Bearer" after an accident with a crystal reactor crystallized his arm, giving him the power to turn anyone into red crystal statues and that creates a wave of radiation that harms the Crystal Principle. He kept his power a secret while acting on scheme, but everyone learns that Jegran is responsible for betraying them. Jegran develops a god complex as he attempts to rewrite the Crystal Principle, using his own Bearer powers.
- Cid (シド Shido) Voiced by: Shinichi Kotani (Japanese); Doug Stone (English) - Lilty Kingdom's former engineer and Bridge Town tinker.
- Vaigali (バイガリ Baigari) Voiced by: Naomi Kusumi (Japanese); Joe DiMucci (English) - Leader of Selkie Guild who sold information for the highest bidder, with a grudge against Lilties and dislikes Keiss' turncoats even more but Vaigali made an exception in Cid's case whom he aids as patron. Jegran turns Vaigali (who sacrificed himself to save Belle, Keiss and Layle) into a crystal statue at the Aerial Prison Interior.
- Blaze Voiced by: Matthew Mercer - A fiery Clavat bearer and formerly Layle's worst partner who chases him and Belle to the Rivelgauge Monastery and leaves, before Jegran turns Blaze into a crystal statue.
The Crystal Bearers is intended to be a more "single-player experience", as opposed to the GameCube installment which focused on cooperative play.[8] The game director stated he wants a more "world weary" protagonist, and wanted him to seem rugged, which influenced the hair design of the character.[9] The game is intended to feature a more "mature" design to help bolster the heroic structure of the story.[8] The game director wanted to make "an exhilarating tale of this great hero set against sweeping blue skies", which influenced many decisions in game design and story.[9] The game's existence was announced at E3 2005[10] and at E3 2006 a short pre-rendered teaser trailer was included within a Wii games compilation video. In May 2007 a new trailer including gameplay was released and a few interviews with the developers were given.[11][12] Since then no further information about the game has been given. Crystal Bearers has had no presence at recent Square Enix events or on the Square Enix website (the Crystal Chronicles developer blog has not made mention of Crystal Bearers since June 6, 2007"[13]) coupled with the developers of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King refusing to comment when asked about the status of The Crystal Bearers at the Game Developers Conference of February 2008, stating only that the public should "wait for a press release."[14] In November 2008, in response to a section in the next month's issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly stating that the game had been "quietly canceled" Square Enix released a statement confirming that the game had not been canceled and that they fully intend to release it, although no release date could be given.[15] A trailer for the game was packaged with the Wii version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. It shows the game in a further state of development, and displays game characteristics such as combat, magic, puzzle solving, and an overworld, as well as traditional elements of the Final Fantasy series, such as the Cactuar and Bahamut. At the end of March, an official teaser site opened up.[16] In Japan, a commercial for the game aired with the song We Weren't Born to Follow by Bon Jovi playing in the background.[17]
On its first day of release in Japan, The Crystal Bearers sold 26,000 units, which is about 34% of its initial shipment in the region.[24] The Japanese version sold 43,705 units by its second week of release,[25] and over 54,000 copies by the end of the year.[26]
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers was praised by Weekly Famitsu, saying the game's plot elements were well done: one reviewer stated "The way the story develops, along with the unique characters and world setting, is brilliant. There are lots of little details to everything." However, the publication criticized the game's map, finding it difficult to pinpoint the player's location with respect to the surroundings.[18]
The game received mixed and generally less favorable reviews from western outlets. X-Play gave a negative review, while Game Informer and IGN faulted the game for being an action adventure rather than an RPG. However, GameTrailers and Nintendo Power reviewed the game more positively.

You Will Not Believe the Finish to This National Championship Game
Clutch meets clutch.
Most Popular
It was one of the more absurdly clutch three-pointers in the history of NCAA National Championship basketball: Marcus Paige fought off a lunging defender, approached the line, adjusted in midair as another defender rushed at him, and sunk it to tie the game at 74. Somehow, though, he was immediately upstaged. Villanova went up the floor, found Kris Jenkins, and the big number two drained the buzzer-beater to win the national championship for his team:

Remote Sensing Technology Insitute, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany
Pan-sharpening of remote sensing multispectral imagery directly influences the accuracy of interpretation, classification, and other data mining methods. Different tasks of multispectral image analysis and processing require specific properties of input pan-sharpened multispectral data such as spectral and spatial consistency, complexity of the pan-sharpening method, and other properties. The quality of a pan-sharpened image is assessed using quantitative measures. Generally, the quantitative measures for pan-sharpening assessment are taken from other topics of image processing (e.g., image similarity indexes), but the applicability basis of these measures (i.e., whether a measure provides correct and undistorted assessment of pan-sharpened imagery) is not checked and proven. For example, should (or should not) a quantitative measure be used for pan-sharpening assessment is still an open research topic. Also, there is a chance that some measures can provide distorted results of the quality assessment and the suitability of these quantitative measures as well as the application for pan-sharpened imagery assessment is under question. The aim of the authors is to perform statistical analysis of widely employed measures for remote sensing imagery pan-sharpening assessment and to show which of the measures are the most suitable for use. To find and prove which measures are the most suitable, sets of multispectral images are processed by the general fusion framework method (GFF) with varying parameters. The GFF is a type of general image fusion method. Variation of the method parameter set values allows one to produce imagery data with predefined quality (i.e., spatial and spectral consistency) for further statistical analysis of the assessment measures. The use of several main multispectral sensors (Landsat 7ETM+, IKONOS, and WorldView-2) imagery allows one to assess and compare available quality assessment measures and illustrate which of them are most suitable for each satellite. Experimental analysis illustrates adequate assessment decisions produced by the selected measures for the results of representative pan-sharpening methods.

"The crossword is the most flexible form of puzzle ever created," says Will Shortz, legendary crossword-puzzle editor for The New York Times, and guest star in a famous episode of The Simpsons that linked directly to the same day's Times puzzle. "So it's natural that it would have thrived. There's a crossword for every type of person – hard and easy, topical and general, large and small. Crosswords embrace everything in life."
The worldwide puzzle market is now vast and caters to every specific taste and talent. The best crossword constructors take pride in their cultural flexibility and willingness to break down the barriers imposed by earlier generations of class-conscious word guardians – somewhere, someone is eagerly filling in the three-letter word for a Kardashian, first letter K.
Older distinctions between the British tradition of hidden-meaning cryptic clues and the more straightforward American definitionals in the Arthur Wynne style now feel like dated cultural stereotypes. The Americans in particular, led by Mr. Shortz at the Times, have become much trickier, both with punning misdirection in the clues and a hidden-letter preoccupation that would challenge the best wartime cryptographers.
"I always try to amaze people," says Mr. Shortz, well aware that amazement at the crossword level depends on some combination of discovery, surprise and newness. "I'm trying to write clues that are novel and interesting, and later in the week" – when the Times puzzle ratchets up its degree of difficulty – "I want clues that will twist your brain in a fresh way."
He had just finished writing a clue about the band Modest Mouse, a pop-music reference that wouldn't have impressed the old-school classicists who found superiority in knowing the names of all nine inspirational Muses from Mount Helicon (but probably still wouldn't have liked the modern five-letter anagram for the lyre-strumming ERATO, "Tore a new one for Virgil").
"If you're a smart person with an engaging mind, you should be aware of everything in the world," says Mr. Shortz, invoking his "crosswords-embrace-life" clause. "That doesn't mean you necessarily listened to Modest Mouse, but you should be aware there's a band with that name."
And if you don't know them, you should be able to make an intelligent guess based on the hints supplied by the crossing words you've discovered – though even Mr. Shortz can emit a hopeless sigh when the unforgiving Times grid requires intersecting answers like PEE DEE (a river in South Carolina) and the rapper T-PAIN. "That's a tough crossing," admits the master of tough.
The best clues, crossword fanatics agree, are those that don't force you to make a wild guess, pore over the dictionary, bother the Internet or phone a money-making 1-900 answer line. One of the favourite clues of all time, for wordies in the know, is "e" – meaning SENSELESSNESS, because SENSE less the letters NESS leaves you with only an E. Less than fair? Maybe, since the clue reveals its intent only in the answer, which does feel kind of senseless, if not pointless. But at their best and most generous, crossword clues can also be simple and beautiful and productive of miniature delight.
"A lot of crossword people think, 'I want my clues to be hard,' " says Fraser Simpson, a Toronto math teacher who constructs The Globe and Mail's cryptic, a puzzle couched in layers of syntactic playfulness. "But I don't care if they're hard. I want my clues to be elegant, and every once in a while they're going to be hard anyway."
Mr. Simpson is a champion of the kind of misdirection that is both unexpected and clear. As a mathematician, he says, "I want everything to fit together perfectly, with no extra words." He believes that a well-crafted clue can become "like a poem, a beautiful piece of literature."
If he finds he has to clue the word "ATE", he eschews straight synonyms for something shiftier like "downed a sub" or "had wings". He's a big admirer of what he calls a rebus clue, such as "out in spring," which gives both the definition of the answer and the cryptic method of finding it: OUT inside SPRING, meaning SPROUTING.
Mr. Simpson studies language with a connoisseur's eye for misdirection, and notices a suffix such as -sake (keepsake, forsake, etc.) as if it were the Japanese drink of the same name. He keeps a list of words that become new words when a hyphen is added. "The famous example is local and lo-cal," he says. "Then there's a newish one I like, "blister" and "B-lister"."
He also has a complete list of two-letter abbreviations and phrases that might be needed for a segment of a longer answer – "taking a left," in the conventions of crossword phraseology, could be used to clue a word that incorporates ("taking") the common letter combination AL. When reading an article about the film Gone with the Wind, he noticed that the character Suellen consisted of SULLEN wrapped around an E – which, in the crossword's all-embracing world, is bound to come in handy.Report Typo/Error

Hama revealed she had just demonstrated her Willbending abilities. After several times she did that during the flight, Aang realized it affected Appa's mood and he was having none of it. Also, Sokka had pointed out some other obvious advantages of Willbending, in an attempt to impress Hama. First, you don't need to be a Waterbender. Second, you don't have to be a master and third, you don't need the full moon.
"Okay, okay. You control him. We are landing in front of that cave."
"Appa, yip-yip!" Aang yelled and the huge sky bison headed to the ground. After landing, everyone jumped to the earth, happy they finally stopped flying. Appa yawned. Right after his yawning, some people dressed in animal skins came out of the cave.
"Hama!" one of them yelled. "What were you doing to that poor animal?"
"I just wanted to see if you will be ready in case we are attacked. Good job, Aremi, Skibu and the rest of you. I want you to meet the Avatar and his friends. They are helping us defeat Zuphokkang and stop the Dai Li."
"Really? And how do we know they are not lying? Or how do we know they don't want to use us as guinea pigs?" Aremi asked. Aang thought about the question. Aremi was too suspicious, but something told Aang he had a reason.
"Because I am the Avatar. It is my job to protect the world."
"Whatever. You can come in the cave. You can help us train. But if we spot one sign of betrayal... we will destroy it on the spot."
"Wow. These guys are aggressive" Katara whispered in Aang's ear. They walked in the cave. It was quite dark, despite there were about twelve fires lightened, with dirty men and women dressed in animal skins as well gathered around them, in a desperate attempt to get warm. Why are they cold? It is a warm summer evening, Aang thought. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise, like someone scratching a blackboard with a sword, from outside. They turned, and faced Iroh, Pathik, Suki and Song.
"SUKI!!" Sokka yelled and ran to her. He hugged her and held her tight for what seemed to him like an eternity.
"Where have you been? What happened?" he looked at Suki's thin, exhausted face. She fainted.
"What did you do to her?" Sokka asked Pathik and Iroh angrily.
"She is just tired." Pathik answered. He looked tired as well. And Iroh still couldn't talk.
"Aremi! Please take the young ladies in. We will start training tomorrow. You, guys, come by the fire, I've got a little something to tell you." Pathik said and sat by the fire in the centre of the cave.
"So, why did you take Suki?" Aang asked.
"And what where you doing all this time?" Toph said.
"We were struggling to reach this place. And we finally came here. They were after us. Some of Zuphokkang's friend's."
"Yes, but why did you take them?" Sokka insisted.
"Suki and Song are Feelers."
"What?" Sokka yelled. Everyone was shocked.
"Yes. It is in their genes. Someone in their families was once a Feeler. We are starting training tomorrow." Pathik answered.
"Still, there is something I don't understand... Why are all these people cold and aggressive?" Toph asked. Pathik and Iroh seemed to feel uncomfortable with this question.
"It is just a... reaction of their body to the training. They'll get over it." Pathik said, looking at Iroh.

"Hello, Azula. How is my favorite student today?" Sifu Zafir said in a low, thick voice.
"I am well, Master." Azula said and bowed. "I hoped you would be able to teach my brother, Zuko. I believe he will be very talented."
"Well, if you wish. But I want you to practice. Now, boy, come with me. We will start your training." Zuko found himself in an awkward situation. Do I really have to go that deep into this thing? I know it'll help Aang, but I am not sure I want to be alone in a room with this scary-looking man... But it was too late.
"Come on, Zuko!" Azula said impatiently.
"Okay..." Zuko stood up and followed Sifu Zafir. This was the start of the training.

Rollins shot rounds of 300-306-301 to tie with Georgia Southwestern with 43-over par scores of 907. Top-ranked West Florida won the event in a runaway with a five-over 869 (284-297-288). Barry was second with 883 strokes while Lynn took third with a 20-over 884.
Weather played a big factor in the event with unseasonably cold temperatures blowing through Kinderlou Forest in Valdosta, Georgia.

Senior Jakob Van de Flierdt led the way for Rollins, finishing tied for 18th with a seven-over score of 223. He carded rounds of 73-74-76 over the three-day event.

Virna Sheard
Biography of Virna Sheard
Virna Sheard (1865-1943) is a Canadian poet and novelist.
She was born Virna Stanton in Coburg, Ontario, and was educated in Coburg and Toronto. She married Dr. Charles Sheard of Toronto in 1885, and bore him four sons.
She began publishing stories and poems in 1898, and publishing several novels and a collection of poetry.
The Globe (Toronto): "A study of The Miracle and Other Poems shows at once that the author is not merely a Canadian poet; her outlook and her range know little of time or place; she belongs to the readers of poetry at large.... Though Mrs. Sheard's poems are by no means of uniform quality, there are enough of the best to ensure her a high place in Canadian poetry. Her tender sympathy with small or helpless things, her interpretation of the music of nature, her spiritual quality and her rendering of reverent Biblical subjects reflect the mind of an idealist, and are the inspired lines of one deeply moved. Often there is a touch of sadness or of the whimsical, but never a suggestion of triviality or flippancy. There is little of incident or action: most of the poems are pure lyrics. In many cases there is a strong appeal to the aesthetic."
Virna Sheard's Works:
Trevelyan's Little Daughters. Toronto: William Briggs, 1898. Montreal: C.W. Coates, 1898.
A Maid of Many Moods. Toronto: Copp Clark, 1902. New York: J. Pott, 1902.
By the Queen's Grace. Toronto: William Briggs, 1904.
The Man at Lone Lake. London, UK: Cassell, 1912.
Carry On!. Toronto: Warwick & Rutter, 1917.
The Miracle and Other Poems. Toronto: J.M. Dent, 1913.

Virna Sheard Poems
When April Comes!
When April comes with softly shining eyes, And daffodils bound in her wind-blown hair, Oh, she will coax all clouds from out the skies,
April Again
April again! the willow wands are yellow Rose-red the brambles that the passing wind knows, Comes a robin's note like the note of a 'cello, And across the valley, the calling of the crows,- 'April again!'
April! April! April! With a mist of green on the trees-- And a scent of the warm brown broken earth On every wandering breeze;
A Song Of Roses
'Tis time to sing of roses: of roses all ablow, To every vagrant passing breeze they dip a courtesy low,
Windy March weather, with a lone crow flying, A little ebony airship careening down the blue, And high, high above him a wild goose crying, The leading cry, the clarion cry, that guides his grey lines through!
The Whistler
Throughout the sunny day he whistled on his way-- Oh high and low, and gay and sweet, The melody rang down the street,
A Song Of Poppies
I love red poppies! Imperial red poppies! Sun-worshippers are they; Gladly as trees live through a hundred summers They live one little day.
Hark! Hark to the wind! 'Tis the night, they say, When all souls come back from the far away-- The dead, forgotten this many a day!
A Song Of Love
Love reckons not by time--its May days of delight Are swifter than the falling stars that pass beyond our sight.
A Song
Love maketh its own summer time, 'Tis June, Love, when we are together, And little I care for the frost in the air,
A Southern Lullaby
Little honey baby, shet yo' eyes up tight;-- (Shadow-man is comin' from de moon!)-- You's as sweet as roses if dey is so pink an white;
The Lily Pond
ON this little pool where the sunbeams lie, This tawny gold ring where the shadows die, God doth enamel the blue of His sky.
A War Chant
O England! Thy foe hath hated thee long, And his hate is a deadly thing; It was held in his heart till its growth was strong, Now, words have woven it into a song
Don Cupid
Oh! little pink and white god of love, With your tender smiling mouth, And eyes as blue as the blue above, Afar in the sunny south.

Love reckons not by time--its moments of despair
Are years that march like prisoners, who drag the chains they wear.
Love counts not by the sun--it hath no night or day--
'Tis only light when love is near--'tis dark with love away.

Comments: My family and I just bought a new house and with it we decided to buy a new bed. This bed has become the center piece of our new master bedroom and it really adds a unique style to the room. It is easy to match with other furniture and it goes really well with our dark wood floors. We have been getting compliments from all of our visitors. The quality is fabulous and it is very well built.

Comments: I bought this bed because of a recommendation from my mother - she bought this in a full size for her guest room. She called me as soon as it was delivered just raving about it! I ordered mine immediately and she was right! This bed is indestructable and beautiful. It looks great at every angle. I find myself staring at it all the time. I'm totally thrilled.

Comments: This bed is exactly what we were looking for, classic, timeless design, high quality construction, and an affordable price. It is incredibly solid, not like other metal beds that sway and creak. No movement from this bed -- even the mattress slats are steel! The elevated mattress platform, with no box spring, gives it a simple, austere beauty (or provides the perfect place for extra storage. The cat thinks of it as her own steel superstructure when she runs around underneath it.

Comments: Bedframe is attractive, sturdy and although it is more modern looking, I would consider it a "timeless" piece and believe we will have it for many, many years. Two downfalls I have noticed are 1. the bedframe is incredibly heavy. At the moment it's on carpet and moving it even slightly to make the bed is difficult. 2. We wanted to have a bedskirt with my daughters bedding and had to use a boxspring for the bedskirt to lay (or fit) correctly. Now my 3 year olds bed is higher than I would've prefered, but at least we were able to use the bedskirt to make the whole look more of what we wanted.

Comments: This is a terrific bed. Simple - clean design, strong construction, easy to make. I had been shopping for a new bed for 6 months...just didn't want a big wood bed. The open design looks good in my relatively small room, but it is substantial and has great lines. I couldn't use my old mattress with it, it was too long, so I had to buy a new one...which fit perfectly. I love it. Goes well with my western - eclectic decorating scheme. [...]

Comments: I bought a pair of these beds in a twin size for my son's room about 8 years ago. I substituted queen sized rails for the twin ones to make the beds a XL-twin size (the XL-twin mattress fits perfectly). After 8 years, the beds still look new and I am happy I have the extra length as my son gets taller.

Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waivers provide states an avenue to test new approaches in Medicaid that differ from federal program rules. Waivers can provide states considerable flexibility in how they operate their programs, beyond what is available under current law, and can have a significant impact on program financing. As such, waivers have important implications for beneficiaries, providers, and states. While there is great diversity in how states have used waivers over time, waivers generally reflect priorities identified by states and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Looking ahead, states are likely to continue to request waivers to implement provisions not allowed under current law. The Trump administration recently signaled in a letter to governors that CMS would be open to considering waiver requests concerning work requirements in Medicaid, for instance, and some states may wish to experiment with premiums and cost-sharing requirements. This page highlights key resources examining Section 1115 waivers and, farther down, also provides the standard search result page for a site-wide search on the "waivers" tag.

Key Themes in Section 1115 Medicaid Expansion Waivers
This issue brief focuses on Section 1115 waivers that implement the ACA's Medicaid expansion and highlights themes in approved, pending, and denied provisions to date as well as key issues to watch looking ahead. Additional detail about each state's waiver is provided in the Appendix tables.
Seven states (Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, and New Hampshire) currently are implementing the ACA's Medicaid expansion through a Section 1115 demonstration waiver. The previous Administration denied Ohio's waiver application. Two states (Kentucky and Indiana) currently have Medicaid expansion waivers pending before the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Bettina Hoy predicted a 2016 Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials that will be "all about cross-country" after taking charge on day one in Lincolnshire.
German star Hoy, whose horse, Designer 10, had twice secured top-20 finishes at Badminton but never before contested Burghley, proved a class apart as just over half of the 71-strong field completed their dressage tests.
Hoy posted a score of 34.5 penalties to lead the way from Australian Bill Levett, riding Improvise, on 42.5, with early starter Paul Sims and Glengarnock holding their own for third spot overnight on 46.6. Immediately behind Sims are American Elisa Wallace (Simply Priceless) on 46.8, followed by Rosalind Canter (Allstar B) 47.0 and New Zealander Jonelle Price (Classic Moet) 48.5.
Hoy, who was fifth with Designer 10 at last year's Badminton Horse Trials, said: "The horse is now very established at this level. He really tries to concentrate, and he did pretty much everything that I asked him to do.
"He felt very good. We are really getting in the tests what he can do at home. Some horses get very affected by the atmosphere, but he was excellent in the arena."
Reflecting on his impressive performance, 31-year-old Sims said: "It was definitely his best four-star test to date. I'm feeling confident. We've been here three times and Glengarnock's a reliable cross country horse – so long as I don't make mistakes.
And Canter said, of Allstar B: "He's always good in this phase; he's got a level head, but we made a couple of mistakes in there this time, which was frustrating. Being here is just as exciting as last year, even though there are a couple of things I'd like to go back in the arena and do again."
Dressage continues on Friday, and the leaderboard is likely to look a whole lot different going into Saturday's cross-country phase.
Among the Friday starters are Britain's Oliver Townend – the Yorkshireman rides Samuel Thomas II and MHS King Joules – GB Rio travelling reserve Tina Cook, on Star Witness, plus multiple Burghley winner Andrew Nicholson (Nereo), Mark Todd (NZB Campino), Rio individual bronze medallist Phillip Dutton (Fernhill Fugitive) and Australians Sam Griffiths (Happy Times) and Chris Burton (Nobilis 18).
Hoy added: "It is a very big cross-country course, as you would expect at Burghley. It is one question after another.
"I have led with previous horses after dressage, so I know it is about taking things step by step.
"Every day is different, and this is definitely not going to be a dressage competition. This is all about cross-country."

Meatless Monday: Beetroot and apple soup with horseradish yoghurt
That photo doesn't really do justice to the pinky-purple visual delight of this soup. I admit, quite a lot of the food I make is ugly, just not really very photogenic at all. This beauty though is a feast for the visual sense as well. It's also easy-as.
It starts with roasting beetroot, and a little bit of Lady McBeth peeling and chopping. Wear gloves if you're likely to get all 'out, damn'd spot' about stained hands. If you're time pressed, it can start with one of those vacuum-sealed packs of pre-cooked beetroot, but that's a lot less literary minded, don't you think?
Apart from the roasting beetroot, the soup starts in the way of most soups, with a well-chopped mirepoix of onion, celery and carrot, sauteeing in a little olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan on the stovetop.
When that's softened, I add two grated apples, skins and all because pffft, peeling off fruit and vegetable skins you can eat is not my scene. I used Granny Smiths, but any tart and non-floury variety will work.
Add the cooked and chopped beetroot (about 500g) and then a litre to 1.5 litres of vegetable stock, depending on how thick you want your soup. Drop in a big piece of star anise and then let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
While that's simmering away, mix together a teaspoon or two of horseradish sauce (or your own fresh grated horseradish) with a few tablespoons of natural yoghurt. Set aside.
Fish out the anise, season with salt and pepper and then puree the soup in a blender or with a hand-held one, being very careful not to stain the white grout of your tiled splashback (oops).
Service with chopped chives if you have them or chopped baby spinach if you don't as well as a liberal dollop of the horseradish yoghurt.
If you're after a vegan and dairy free version, substitute the natural yoghurt with a non-dairy alternative or cut it altogether. If you do cut it go steady on the horseradish sauce and add to taste as the yoghurt helps to tone down the flavour and keep it out of your sinuses.
This one was toddler approved as long as he had handfuls of crusty bread to dip into it. But just be warned about the post-soup nappy surprise.
Have you tried a beetroot soup before? If you're interested in other kinds, check out Lila's Beeting Heart soup, which comes with chestnuts. Yum.

Can it be this time again already? Forgive the ever so indulgent review of one's year that I'm about to write. I did it last year and I fear I shall next. It's quite cathartic to think about the bad and the good of the experience of life, I find...
At the end of last year I felt sad and angry by a number of things. In truth, and though I made some close friends doing it, my year in Norwich left me rather unfulfilled and directionless, and I am very glad to have left in July. Though I spent half of this year there too, once I was past the hump of Christmas, the first six months of 2011 flew by. Thank GOD!
My summer was fantastic. Almost too good. I've set myself a benchmark which I doubt I'll be able to meet never mind surpass this coming year. Who knows? I haven't planned my summer at all yet so maybe I'll find a spare load of cash and go somewhere amazing!! But yes...back to this year. I spent a fattening, drunken, cultural, sunny and just wonderfully luxurious month-and-a-bit in the extraordinary city of Florence. It was a place with which I fell in love and I don't think I'll ever find somewhere so full of treasures and delights. And for an Oxonian to say that says something. The fact that I went with my best friend Eleanor made it all the more fabulous!
I did get some awful news during the holiday which slightly spoilt it for me at the end, and I don't think I'll ever understand quite how the mosquitos managed to enter my bedroom after I all but hermetically sealed it EVERY NIGHT, but I loved the whole experience of it and couldn't be more grateful to my family who made it possible for me to go.
The rest of summer was boring and dull, but in September I went up to York to start working at the Minster in the choir and then in October I started my degree at the university. And I'm ever so happy to report that I couldn't be enjoying either more. I was received so warmly by everyone in both communities and have never felt so at home so quickly within a place and within a family of people.
Family is the word, actually. I feel so welcomed by so many people there. I couldn't be happier about going there and feel so privileged to have met some wonderful friends - a few of whom I know, or at least hope with all my heart, I shall never lose from my life.
2011 has been wonderful for me, I think. You'll see how I skirted over all of it that I didn't particularly enjoy and I think that's a testament to how I shall remember it. In my mind's eye, 2011 shall be a momentous and happy year on which to look back. I can only hope that 2012 lives up to all the potential that it holds to me and so many people. Knowing that I have my amazing friends and family with which to experience it makes me think it probably will do.
I simply cannot wait.
I hope you all have a very happy new year!!

Cleveland Cavaliers (13-53) at Portland Trail Blazers (38-29)
Time: 10 p.m.; Venue: Rose Garden; TV/Radio: FS Ohio/WAKR
Cavs probables: PG Ramon Sessions, SG Anthony Parker, SF Alonzo Gee, PF Samardo Samuels, C J.J. Hickson
Blazers probables: PG Andre Miller, SG Wes Mathews, SF Nicolas Batum, PF Gerald Wallace, C LaMarcus Aldridge
Officials: Steve Javie, Kane Fitzgerald, David Jones
Injury report: Cavs -- Anderson Varejao (ankle) out, Antawn Jamison (pinky) out, Semih Erden (groin) doubtful, Baron Davis (bereavement) probable; Blazers -- Greg Oden (knee) out, Elliot Williams (knee) out.
By the numbers: Cavs forward Samardo Samuels is averaging 14 points and 7.3 rebounds in seven games since replacing Antawn Jamison in the starting lineup. ... Ramon Sessions went 7 of 8 from the floor in the second half, all on drives to the basket, in Wednesday's win over the Kings. ... Portland's Brandon Roy is averaging 18.5 points in his last two games and is rounding back into form following chronic knee problems this season.
* Baron Davis is expected to rejoin the team tonight. Whether or not he'll play depends on his mental state. If he feels like he's ready to go, coach Byron Scott said there's no reason he won't play.
* The Cavs did a tremendous job of attacking the basket in the second half Wednesday night and need to keep that mentality to be successful. The Blazers are a much better defensive team than the Cavs, but they don't have the size advantage the Kings enjoyed.
* Blazers coach Nate McMillan is starting Gerald Wallace at power forward now, the same Wallace the Cavs had a little interest in around the trade deadline. Wallace is 6-foot-7 and a natural power forward, but McMillan likes LaMarcus Aldridge at center because of the room it creates for him in the post. Aldridge had 30 points in a win over the Mavericks the other night in his first start at center.
* McMillan believes the quicker lineup will also help in trapping opponents, which isn't good news for the Cavs. They have struggled handling the ball at times this season, but if they get Davis back, that should help.

I've heard a lot of rubbish spouted from both sides of the Referendum bun fight and have come to the conclusion that it's not 'them' it's 'us'. I refer, of course, to blaming migrants, political and financial for the state of 'our' country.
Before you tick a box on the 23rd it might be worth considering our own use of the key issues currently argued over, education, housing and the NHS before blaming the people that have helped build our country.
Maybe, if we as parents engaged more with our schools, primary and secondary, supporting and celebrating teachers instead of moaning about their 'long holidays'. How about taking joint responsibility for your child's education, help your child to read and write, complete homework, educate them about life, then maybe teaching might be a more attractive job and there wouldn't be shortages in classroom spaces. Maybe that church school you longed Jessica would attend isn't the right place for little Jessica.....think about the child not the ofsted report, they mean nothing in reality.
Maybe, if we all looked around and acknowledged all the empty properties rotting away in and around our towns and cities we could lobby our councils/politicians to get these properties back into positive use. Maybe we should stop trying to be the king of our castles and look at owning property as a debt many can't afford....using property as an alternative to a pension is fine but it's not a 'right'.
Maybe, just maybe we should look at how we use our NHS. I bet there's more time and money wasted in A and E on looking after people who really didn't need to be there. Are we not able to manage a splinter ourselves? Or maybe a scuffed knee does need a receptionist, triage nurse and junior doctor's attention? Our personal health is our responsibility first, when we can't look after ourselves be it an accident or something worthy of trained professionals attention, it's then we should seek that help.
Low paid jobs? There's a lot of them and 'we' don't want to do them. Surely 'they're taking our jobs'.... as an example of this a relatively well paid job I did recently was done by me and many Polish guys, who worked hard and fast. My wage was the same as 'theirs', I had the same rights as 'them', I was respected by 'them' and suffered no sexual harassment or discrimination. You can of course turn that last statememt around and have it read 'me' instead of 'them'. The job was open to all yet the 'locals' chose not to do the job. To be fair I hated the job but the job was there for me at a good rate of pay, on equal terms, for everyone. Maybe, if 'we' have a problem with 'foreigners' delivering our stuff, for example, we should stop buying things from a company that pays no tax.....the guys I worked with do.
What's my point? Well I think we need to take a good look at ourselves before we blame others. Yes there are issues in our country that need addressing but remember, you voted in the present government, who have made cuts upon cuts that threaten 'clever little Jessica 's' school, hospital and housing.
Maybe, just maybe if we managed how we use our services better, we can live more happily alongside the people who deliver those services.
I know there's more to the argument than I've discussed, but as I write both sides of the coin are trundling down the Thames on boats, each trying to out do the other, not through debate but by bashing into each other....I'll leave that right there.....

Was done rather quick and spur of the moment type thing, but I actually really like how this came out Link is one of my fav game characters and maybe its cuz I've never drawn him before that I like this one.
I was using some pics of him from Smash Bros Brawl for reference, he has lots of nice detail in it I also am trying to develop my style of coloring a lil bit more as well, with sharper edges and such. So far things are going ok
Medium: Ink & Photoshop

Medium: Ink & Photoshop
That's awesome
I love your color scheme. The way you've contrasted the colors to fit so carefully with each other makes this piece look sort of lonely, and Link's face gives an accurate portrayal of that sentiment. Great piece!
This is perfect, I love how Link and the background look like they are drawn differently but yet they still work with one another
Wow, this is a great drawing!
Nice~! He's looking.... Not too amused. XD Really amazing work with it!
am i the only one that thinks there should be a legend of Zelda anime?

Love the anime approach to link it nice job
Love everything about this picture!
This remind me of a dream I had once.I was Link and I had to find notes in the woods while monsters were trying to get me.No weapons no nothing.I must have played too much Slender and Zelda.
Ok,I like this one because the background of the woods remind me of the places here. xD ^_^
Links eyes r so feral..... and wild and strong *O* why ant i have eyes like dat :borde:
To be on the spur of the moment type of thing, I actually find myself being in awe over this picture. There's just so many nice details to look at and I really like how you did his shield and blade and I really love his eyes. So shiny and blue :3
Well done
Well done
I think I'm going to cry. This is beautiful.
Sometimes words can not express how awesome things are, i'm in the kinda feeling right now
The colors are so crisp and clean, makes it look devine.
And of course, Link's lookin' good too. ;D Aha.
Beautiful. :3

Five men found guilty of kidnapping and raping women in the northern Iranian city of Gorgan were executed on Friday, an official said.
The five were members of a gang that created an atmosphere of fear in the Nahar-Khoran region, to the extent that the victims did not dare to complain about the abuses, the official told the Iranian news agency, IRNA.
Nahar-Khoran is a vast area of forests near Gorgan, which thousands of Iranians visit daily for recreation.
Iran has been hanging those found guilty of rape or murder since the 1979 Islamic revolution – Albawaba.com

The ring I purchased.
I had an excellent experience buying this ring, and love the product. I was looking for an eternity band. My problem was what I wanted to pay, the diamonds would be so tiny. I tried contacting product help, and explained it to the person from ***. She was able to recommend a jeweler. And we spoke via chat. He had one ring my size, and it looked amazing. The size of the total carets meant no little chips. Bought it, and love it. Great price. Have had it priced four times more than I paid. It was lucky timing. Never know. ****
