Leadoff HR lifts O's in Tillman's outstanding outing
Game-opening blast supplies only run for first time in team history
BALTIMORE -- Sometime around the fourth inning, with the Orioles nursing a one-run lead against the Mariners thanks to Nick Markakis' leadoff home run, Buck Showalter looked over at Richie Bancells.
"You know, I've never had a leadoff home run and won the game," Showalter told the head athletic trainer. "But today's going to be the first. Hopefully."
In reality, Showalter had been in wins like that before. Sunday was still a bit of history, though. The O's held on for a 1-0 win at Oriole Park at Camden Yards thanks to a spectacular outing by Chris Tillman and a pair of shutdown innings by relief pitchers Andrew Miller and Zach Britton, who notched his 23rd save.
For the first time in club history, Baltimore (62-48) won a game with its only run coming on a leadoff homer.
Markakis had been in the leadoff spot 191 times before Sunday. As a staple atop the O's order, the outfielder had been among baseball's best at starting off games, posting a .345 on-base percentage and 30 extra-base hits entering the finale of the series with the Mariners.
Before all of the 35,217 in attendance on Sunday had filled in the stands, Markakis turned on a Hisashi Iwakuma splitter and launched the pitch into unfamiliar territory. The ball towered over the right-field wall and landed by Eutaw Street. Markakis had the first leadoff home run of his career and the Orioles had a 1-0 lead.
"I didn't even know that [was my first]," the 30-year-old outfielder said. "I don't know what to say. Good to get the first one out of the way, I guess."
Tillman (8-5) labored through his first two innings before settling down to give Baltimore its 12th quality start in 13 games.
Through two innings, Tillman had thrown 41 pitches. He surrendered three hits and faced every batter in the Mariners' (57-54) lineup. With runners on the corners and a full count to Mike Zunino the second inning, Tillman had to bear down. He trusted his fastball and struck out the catcher on a foul tip, then threw four straight fastballs to strike out shortstop Brad Miller and end the inning.
Those two outs were the first of 14 in a row for the starting pitcher, who allowed four hits and struck out six in seven innings to keep the Mariners at bay.
"The fastball command came to me as the game went on," Tillman said. "I was kind of fighting all game to throw first-pitch strikes, but we were able to attack some pitches and not overthrow it."
With the O's offense continuing to scuffle, they needed another strong effort from their improving pitching staff. After gathering just five hits and two walks on Sunday, the Orioles still have the worst batting average and on-base percentage in the American League since the All-Star break.
During that same stretch, Baltimore's ERA (2.78) and opponents' batting average are the third best in the league. Eight of the O's last nine games have been decided by one run and all of their last six wins have come by that margin.
"That's what we're out here to do," Markakis said. "We're out here to win ballgames, no matter if it's by one run like today or if it's by 10 runs."
On the day that he collected his 1,500th career hit, Markakis finished a triple short of the cycle, carried a limited Orioles offense and was the only batter to consistently solve Iwakuma.
In Baltimore's advance room, there's a chart to track Markakis' place in O's history. The table keeps track of Markakis' career hits and how that stacks up with the club's greats.
With 73 more hits, Markakis will catch Boog Powell, the former AL Most Valuable Player and four-time All-Star, for fifth on the Orioles' all-time list. Milestones like those will help etch his name in team history. Moments like his home run in the first are what make him a star in the present.
"I don't even know if he's seen [the chart] yet, and if he did, he would probably slip in there and take it down," Showalter said. "I hope everybody understands what we're watching here. We talk about some of those guys through the years that were solid Orioles, you've got to mention his name, hopefully for many years."

RE: Warlock: Fatal Bonds should be used as much as possible when enemy heroes get near the creep line to harass them. They will likely start to play more passively as a result; only put one point in this skill (ideally at level 2) to prevent it from pushing the lane too hard. Shadow Word is incredibly inefficient in terms of mana cost at level 1, so try to hold off on using it until you have another level in it. It's generally best to save Shadow Word to heal your lanemate, but if you have an urn throwing down both DoTs can be very effective on a fleeing enemy. Upheaval is quite simply one of the best slows in the game. In a team fight, you'll want to throw down Fatal Bonds, Ult, and your ultimate as quickly as possible. This will prevent heroes with blink daggers from escaping your slow thanks to the Golem's Immolation. Try to keep your Golem alive with Shadow Word, as it gives a large bounty if the enemy heroes score a last hit on it.
Because your heal is passive rather than reactive, you'll probably want to grab a Mekanism to save your teammate in clutch moments. Arcane boots are a must-have to keep your mana pool up, and aura items like Ring of Basilius and Drum of Endurance benefit both your team and your Golem. Of course, you'll probably be the one buying courier, and the single most effective thing you can do as a support is to keep key areas warded at all times. During laning, this will probably be the rune spots as that's where most mids will gank from, but you may also want to block jungle spawns or place it in between the enemy's towers while pushing.
If you're swimming in gold (not likely) grab an Aghanim's Scepter+Refresher and laugh as your four Golems destroy the enemy team.
I think this is what safewood meant by safe counterpushing - you run in, initiate Illuminate, then leave. The horses do their thing whilst you head for the hills.
Don't understimate the knockback on his new Ulti skill either. It's surprisingly disruptive to an enemy team and you can easily pull one person out of a group for a gank or save your team that's being chased down by knocking back the enemies closing in.
Maybe it's just because I'm playing against bots, but my warlock ult summon never stays alive. Even towers put him down pretty quickly. The only time he feels effective is the initial summon damage and just killing creep lines. It felt same-y even with an Aghanim Sceptre. I'm sure he can be effective somehow, and I've had good success harassing with Fatal Bonds, but I still feel more useful as Keeper by giving mana and using his other skills.

It is probably because of the bots. I'm in the upper tiers of matchmaking and the only time my Infernal(s) is/are instantly killed is if they get a Diffusal blade (purge instagibs it).
Bots play quite a bit differently, not necessarily better (except when it comes long ranged heroes last hitting). For instance they have far faster reactions than any human and tend to 5-man much more often than a human team does. You also don't learn some things as you play against (and especially if you play with them). Examples include, counterwarding pull camps and wardblocking pull camps, playing against certain team comps and playstyles, or animation cancelling (not necessary for beginners but it still is a very useful skill to know for heroes with long cast animations, or getting used to early fighting over pull camps.
Disclaimer: You might have had a different experience than I have. Nearly all my bot matches has been versus unfair bots, and my sample size is quite small (2 - 3 matches whenever new heroes are released).
I'm regularly playing medium bots, and they do a lot of 4/5-man ganks. Warding isn't really necessary when botting medium, so I know I've not really learned their use. You don't really have to pull camps or anything either, so I only know of the concept. When I queued up with a friend to try Hard bots, they were denying us very consistently, and it turned out to be a very un-fun loss.
So, for as much as I think I've learned in my month of playing, I'm realistic to know that there's a whole side of things I've barely even gotten into. (and some little things still, like I hadn't noticed until last night that you can buy boots at the side lane shops)
Warlock's Golem is spell immune, so it benefits doubly from armor-providing items like Ring of Basilius and Mekanism. Hopefully someone on your team is smart enough to grab either a Vlad's or an Assault Cuirass; they provide incredibly strong auras for your Golem but aren't exactly ideal buys on Warlock. I think you'll find that Warlock combos best with other AoE disables like Tidehunter, Magnus, and Enigma because not only will you be disabling the enemy for a disgusting amount of time but your Golem will be free to wail on your hapless enemies.

I'm sorry to say it but the Infernal is not magic immune, it has slightly higher magic resist (33% opposed to standard 25%). As long as you micro it properly it shouldn't be difficult to keep it alive, as long is it doesn't get purged that is because it has a good hp regen (50 hp/s) so you just run it away if its about to be killed, and when it is healed just run it back in again.

I would so love to join a friendly DOTA group. The problem is that I live in Taiwan, which puts me really far from Europe, ping wise, and as such playing on the european servers is pretty much unbearable, I would estimate there to be half a second of delay between inputs and actions occuring. The closest bearable servers would be the east US or Shanghai. So I imagine that would be an issue.

If anyone has any more DotA 2 invites and is feeling generous, my friend is looking for one. His Steam handle is jacregger. He had been browsing reddit.com/r/sharedota2, but so far to no avail.

Warlock's ult is awesome combined with fatal bonds to start fights, shared AoE damage plus a stun, all topped off with a fiery golem.
KotL is an amazing hero though, you can get some early ganks on squishy hero's on the laning stage due to the insane range on it. I dunno about bot games but it definitely works well for pub games.

I'm going to start being more active when it comes to organizing events, we've one tonight at 7PM GMT, and there will be many more to come. Just assemble in the mumble (18.104.22.168 23462) and anounce you'd like to play
Hello people!
I want to play DOTA2 with you guys! I'm pretty new to the game, want to play as a team as matchmaking matches sadly lack teamwork most of the time. So do I just join the steamgroup and mumble and hop in whenever an event is up?
Hi Halop,
Yes you should just be able to join the group and see who's around. There is another RPS Dota 2 group called "Rock, Dota, Noob" whose thread is here, the emphasis obviously being on newer players. Feel free to join in and get on the mumble to see who's about. There are a few players who are clear of the five-hundred hour mark on Dota now and probably don't deserve the "noob" tag any more, but there are others like me who have jobs to go to and are still lurking around the hundred hour range, and some even newer folk just starting out as you are.
Thanks Beard of Bees, I have myself have only now started to really understand all the concepts after playing for a few months. The clarity came so suddenly.
Really looking forward for a game, gonna look around Mumble for a game as soon as I have time.
Has anyone used Medusa? Or even Timbersaw... I don't know that we discussed him here. FWIW, I think he's a great addition to a teamfight, but not exactly a superstar or carry.
What are your thoughts on the recent bot AI change? Less 5-man bot ganking, but I find that they stand around strangely near the end of the match.

To me Timbersaw is a quite strange* hero, and he is very difficult to lane.
Because he isn't very survivable in the earliest levels** he is ill suited as a solo laner, he might deal well with his lane if he faced a similarily weak opponent but he would have a hard time dealing with most matchups. Making him solo a sidelane can also only work if he is facing a weaker lane, aka weak sololaner or double melee with bad or no cc. The way I see it he would struggle very much versus any dual lane with a ranged hero harrassing him.
The best situation I can see for him would be as the farmer in an aggressive or defensive trilane coupled with heroes with some reliable early cc (i.e SD, Rubick, maybe CM but she has her issues, Bane or Jakiro), because he isn't able to do much with the farm he should concede it to a better scaling hero when he has hit level 6 or 7, and proceed to go gank and dive the other lanes.
He has a possibility to pull off big plays but he is far from a reliable hero (not high risk high reward, more of a mid risk low reward).
*The only thing he really excell at is diving the tier one towers, and semi early teamfights given that they happen in the right places. He scales poorly yet he requires quite a bit of early farm to truly fill his, rather limited, role well.
**Until he has several levels in Timberchain and one level in reactive armor he is actually very easy to kill.
The way I see her she is super strong late game carry with a long wind-up time fairly bad earlygame.
What makes Medusa Medusa is split shot and mana shield and to some extent her ultimate.
Not much to discuss about, it functions both as a battlefury on some pretty crazy steroids as well as making teamfights unbearable for the softer members of the opposing team.
Mana Shield is also really strong. For those unfamiliar with its mechanics it is the equivalent of getting 17 extra armor and 50% reduced magic damage (62,5% if you factor in the inherent magic resist of the hero), for as long as your manapool allows it.
Her ult is IMO quite lackluster unless your countering illusion based heroes, then it is great.
If you are able to survive until late game it is few things able to withstand a 6 slotted medusa backed by her team. Pro tip illusions inherit split shot.

[QUOTE=safewood;245888Her ult is IMO quite lackluster unless your countering illusion based heroes, then it is great.[/QUOTE]
Silly mortal, that's nonsense you're speaking there.
Lets see, an ulti which gives a total slow to the enemy team, removes all their positive buffs, destroys illusions and just outright looks awesome?
* Omniknight? Say goodbye to your ult, silly wabbit.
* Illusionists? How about no?
* Sven? I heard you like being slow and without your speed or armor.
* Magnus? Splash? Who can splash the snake in her own waters?
* Dazzle? That grave seems deep all of a sudden.
It's just such a good overall ulti. And on the last level, it has zero manacost and a short cooldown. She's a beast which can't be easily counter-initiated.
Tho, it really does take all those six slots to shine. I usually like: Skadi, Manta, Daedalus, Linken, Butterfly and Threads.
See me carrying a game out of hell itself with a well farmed Medusa:
I feel like playing Drow every game (I know, I'm scum) to bring my win percentage up is going to screw me over when I actually reach a point where I get competent teammates. Maybe I should go back to Invoker...

A couple of years ago, I hosted a cookie swap and someone brought chocolate covered dreidels. Adorable, but a bit perplexing, as the person who brought them didn't celebrate Hanukkah--nor did anyone else at the party.
When pressed, the reason why he had made them was perfectly acceptable: "They're just too cute!".
So why not make good use of the remaining nights of Hanukkah and whip up a batch of these easy and cute marshmallow treats? They're easy and cute and guaranteed to disappear faster than you can spin a dreidel.

I had a customer contact me for help in getting this sample application to work.
It's a nice sample application that shows you how to extract data from a form, transform the XML using XSLT and then save it to a MySQL database table.
The directions don't tell you how to create the MySQL database and this can be a challenge. You can find documentation on MySQL 5.1 (the version installed as part of an ES2 turnkey installation) here. To save you the trouble, I've summarized the steps you need to follow to make the process work.
Note: This assumes you are using a LiveCycle ES2 JBoss turnkey installation on Windows.
Note: There seems to be a problem with the Watched Folder end point configuration and I could only get this process to work by using the invoke command from Workbench. I'll post a fix to the WatchedFolder configuration in another blog entry.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the MySQL installation. This is {LiveCycle ROOT}\mysql\bin. So, in a turnkey installation with the default folders, you would need to go to C:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle ES2\mysql\bin
- The turnkey installation creates this MySQL database account. user = adobe, password=password. Login with the adobe user using the mysql command line tool. The command is:
mysql -u adobe -p
Enter "password" when prompted for the password.
- Now you can create a test database by entering the command:
CREATE DATABASE test;
- Switch to this database by entering the command:
use test
Note: you do not need a semicolon (;) for this command
- Now you can create the table by entering the command:
CREATE TABLE tb_DataExtractionAndUpdateDB(data BLOB);
Your command line prompt should look like the screen shot below.
Please leave the mysql prompt open so we can verify the process updates the table later on.
- Open the DataExtractionAndUpdateDatabase process in LC Workbench.
- Double-click on the properties for the SQL activity which has the caption "Persist data to Database".
- Click on the button with a caption of "…" next to the SQL Statement property.
- Click on the test button. In the "Test Result" box you should see "Number of rows affected: 1". Let's check this in the database. Go back to the mysql command prompt and type in
select * from tb_DataExtractionAndUpdateDB;
you should see this result:
- We've now proven we can insert a null BLOB. Let's test that one with data will work too. Change the SQL to as shown in the screenshot below and then test it. Don't save the changes!
- Now let's go back to the mysql command prompt and run the query again. You should see this:
Now the database and table are created. You should verify the configuration of the data source (test-ds.xml). This was part of the collateral/resources folder that you downloaded earlier.
You only need to change the user from root to adobe, if you're using the default MySQL user and password. If you've chosen a different user/password, make sure you update it here. Since I'm using the default adobe user, my configuration looks like this.
This file should be copied to your deploy directory. If you used the default installation settings, this would be:
C:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle ES2\jboss\server\lc_turnkey\deploy
Note:If you changed anything in this file, then you will need to restart the LiveCycle server (just JBoss, not Windows) for the change to take affect.
Congratulations! You've now proven that the sample application works in your turnkey environment.

Wear Your Favorite Summer Pieces Through Fall! (Stylehive)
If it were up to me, I would wear a totally fashionable, totally new outfit everyday. I would have a pair of hot heels or cute flats for everyday of the year and I would have at least one brand new, lust-worthy piece on every time I changed outfits.

131 148 half pint jars 35 41 pint jars
30 pint and a half jars
40 quart jars
256 279 total jars
It was a lot of work to fill
256 279 jars, but I spread it out over the whole summer. I started in April when the rhubarb is fresh and juicy, making "Old Recipe" Rhubarb Jam and Rhubarb Chutney.
Old Recipe Rhubarb Jam photo by vsimon
Today I put the last of my fermented dill pickles into jars from the crock.
In between I have put up 91 jars of jams and jellies,
107 130 jars of pickles, 9 jars of relish, 40 jars of salsa/sauce, and even 9 jars of ketchup.
We have packed away everything our garden could produce, from fresh rhubarb, red beets, green beans, red currents, lots of ground cherries, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and cucumbers.
Three types of cucumbers that were new to me this year. The best being the "Pearl" cucumbers. Just so, so where the "Lemon" cucumbers (taste like regular cucumbers), and not to be planted again where the extremely small "Mexican Gherkins". More on the cucumbers later.
Mexican Gherkins photo by vsimon
And there where new things to try this year. For the first time I made salsa. Not the crisp, freshly chopped refrigerated type, but the cooked and then canned type. Also new this year was a shot at making ketchup. Ketchup without all the sugar or high fructose corn syrup found in store bought ketchup.
After much searching I was able to locate (from my sister Betty) the recipe my mother used to make the most wonderful, sweet pickle relish. I have a niece who used to request this yearly as a Christmas gift from my mother.
The biggest "new" thing I tried this year was to pickle green beans. We now have a total of 18 pints of pickled green beans. Three or four varieties of green beans where used along with a variety of different spices trying to find the best combination.
Here is a partial list of the spices used: dill, fennel, caraway, garlic, black pepper corns, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes.
Until we sample all the varieties, I will not know which of these spice combinations worked best. Some will be repeated next year and some most likely will not.
Our winter stockpile photo by vsimon
So here are the shelving units in our basement stocked with all the great foods to be enjoyed through coming months. (Notice the water bath canner and the dehydrator on the lower right hand shelf.)
So, if after reading this you start to question Linda's writing style, please note that this post is penned by me, Vincent.
And it hasn't quite ended yet as I still have a grocery bag full of sweet and hot peppers to put up. Any suggestions? Have a great pickled peppers recipe? Or maybe an "all peppers" salsa? Let me know.
Update 10-8-2010 Today I pickled my peppers. Three different recipes, 23 jars. Short Brine Peppers, Pickled Sweet Peppers, and Marinated Sweet Peppers. All from "The Joy Of Pickling". We now have many gifts for the holidays. Hope everyone loves pickles, jams, and salsas.

ASHLEY Barnes wants Burnley to take advantage of two big games to boost their automatic promotion hopes, after experiencing the pain of the play-offs.
The Clarets' new striker achieved a top six Championship finish with tonight's opponents Brighton last season.
The Seagulls were the in-form side going into the promotion shake-up having remained unbeaten in their last nine games, only to lose to Crystal Palace in the semi finals.
Barnes admitted it was no consolation that the Eagles went up.
It should have been them.
But he feels the Clarets are well-placed to reach the Premier League via the direct route, and sees tonight's reunion with his old club as an opportunity to enhance their cause ahead of Saturday's showdown with QPR, who leapfrogged Burnley into second after the last full round of fixtures.
"The lads have had a heads-up, it will be a difficult game, but nothing that we can't handle," he said.
"We're in the top three for a reason and that's where we deserve to be from the lads' performances in the first half of the season.
"We've just come out of the top two and we have hardly been out of the top two all season.
"I just want to help us get back up there.
"Leicester are flying at the moment. They're a game in hand and they're going on a little run, so why can't we?
"As soon as you can open up a points gap it gives you a little bit of leeway, so we'll push to get to the top two, for sure.
"It was a very stressful time in my career last season (in the play-offs). You have so many ups and downs, so hopefully I can come out on top this year.
"It was a kick in the teeth last year. You go home and you think 'what the hell just happened?'
"It was difficult to take but you bounce back, believe in your own ability and that you'll make it.
"I'm here now and I hope I can get promoted with Burnley, and hopefully in the top two rather than through the play-offs."
His immediate aim of three points against his old team-mates would be a start.
Barnes dreams of his first Burnley goal in the game too, although he admits he wouldn't celebrate. Not openly anyway.
"I won't celebrate. I will deep down inside, being the first goal, but I wouldn't disrespect them," said the 24-year-old, who says he would be ready to give a pre-match presentation on Brighton if required.
"I'm sure I will once the teamsheet comes.
"I still speak to them and I'm still close to quite a few of the lads, which is good.
"I'll hopefully try to get as much information out of them as possible to help us, but it will be very interesting to see them all and play against them.
"It will be a bit strange, but it will be a special moment. I had four great years there and left on a high. Now I've got a new chapter in my life."
Barnes has already relocated from the south coast to the north west, just two weeks after completing his move.
And it was perhaps the inspiration behind the tune he chose for his initiation song during the club's warm weather training camp in Alicante.
"I sang the Proclaimers (500 miles). It was just something catchy and all the boys joined in so that was good enough for me," he laughed.
"I needed a song just to get all the boys going."
The Clarets also took time out from training while they were away to watch Barcelona in action at Levante.
"It was amazing just to watch everything, the movement and stuff. It was good," said Barnes, who added it was a beneficial but rare experience to take in the game with the rest of his team-mates.
"You don't really get chance to go to a live game because you're always in football and then after football is home time and family time.
"It was good to get together as a group and watch a live match."

PHILADELPHIA - A pair of student-athletes -- one entering his final season as a Quaker and another in the midst of a blossoming career -- were honored by Penn's Sports Performance department for their effortts in comeptition and in training this past month.
Ryan Mitchell just completed his final session of spring ball for the defending Ivy League champion football team. In 2012, Mitchell played in eight games -- making at least one reception in each appearance. He finished his second Ivy championship season third on the team in both receptions (25) and receiving yards (255). During the spring practice season, Micthell was lauded as one of the leading gainers in measurables in the weight room as he battled back from he late-season injury.
On the track, Heather Bong has started to rewrite the storied record books of Penn women's track and field. On April 13, she set a Penn record in the 100m with a school-record 11.83 at the Patriot Invitational at George Mason. A tenth of a second faster than the previous mark -- which had lasted eight years -- Bong was also part of a winning 4x100 relay that day and set the sixth-fastest 200m time in Penn history on a busy day for the sophomore. Two weeks later, Bong was part of a 4x100 relay at The Penn Relays which finished fifth and posted the third-fastest time in school history. Over the first weekend in May, Bong twice finished second at Heps -- in the 100 and 200 -- to earn a pair of second-team All-Ivy honors.

Baviaanskloof refers to a 300 000ha conservation area, characterised by extreme topographical and biological diversity. Part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, it is an ecologically sensitive area that is home to more than 1000 plant species, including ancient cycads, and dozens of mammal species, including the rare and elusive Cape leopard.
Eco-tourism in the region has gained momentum in recent years and visitors are now able to thoroughly explore the incredible biodiversity through the many adventure activities offered.
Its mountainous terrain perfectly positions it for 4x4, mountain biking and hiking excursions. The area boasts various trails that take in mountain passes, waterfalls, rock formations and natural rock pools.
Try the Cambria route (accessible by sedan) to see geological wonders and the beautiful Baviaans and Kouga mountains and Cambria Valley; the Doodsklip trail (4x4) to experience the forested Poortjies area and awesome mountaintop panoramas; and the Geelhoutbos route (4x4) to summit the Gransnek Pass with its 360-degree mountain views.
Rock climbing and camping are also available with camp sites at Doodsklip, Rooihoek and Poortjies or, for something a little different, there is a fully equipped Bakkrans Cave camp. This natural rocky overhang provides shelter and is a good base from which to hike, rock climb, bird watch and explore San rock art sites.
The Baviaans area also includes the towns of Steytlerville and Willowmore, which themselves offer numerous outdoor activities, including paragliding and abseiling. They're also the only point to fuel your vehicle or stock up on supplies before entering the reserve, so make sure you pop in for a visit.

One of the most important branches of science to shed light on the origin of life is paleontology, the study of fossils. The fossil beds studied with enormous dedication over the last 100 years reveal a picture in stark contrast to Darwin's theory. Species did not emerge by evolving, but appeared suddenly on Earth, with all their various structures fully formed.
Paleontology is a branch of science that investigates fossils of organisms that lived in various geological periods and helps provide information about species living in those eras.166 Another definition of paleontology is the branch of science that studies the fossils and biology of extinct organisms. The first paleontological research began in the 19th century, studying plant and animal fossils to determine the life forms that existed in the geological past, as well as their morphology, structure, taxonomic relations with present-day species, geographical distribution and environmental relationships. Information obtained from paleontology is used to determine the age of geological strata.
The theory of evolution most commonly manifests itself in paleontological research, because fossil findings have been highly prone to evolutionists' distortions and biased interpretations. History is full of forgeries perpetrated in the search for supposed evidence for the theory of evolution. (See The Piltdown Man Fraud, The Nebraska Man Fraud, and The Neanderthal Man Fraud.)
A large number of well-trained scientists outside of evolutionary biology and paleontology have unfortunately gotten the idea that the fossil record is far more Darwinian than it is. This probably comes from the oversimplification inevitable in secondary sources: low-level textbooks, semipopular articles, and so on. Also, there is probably some wishful thinking involved. In the years after Darwin, his advocates hoped to find predictable progressions. In general these have not been found yet the optimism has died hard, and some pure fantasy has crept into textbooks. 167
That individual kinds of fossils remain recognizably the same throughout the length of their occurrence in the fossil record had been known to paleontologists long before Darwin published his Origin. Darwin himself, . . . prophesied that future generations of paleontologists would fill in these gaps by diligent search . . . One hundred and twenty years of paleontological research later, it has become abundantly clear that the fossil record will not confirm this part of Darwin's predictions. Nor is the problem a miserably poor record. The fossil record simply shows that this prediction is wrong. 168
The observation that species remain amazingly stable, and for very long periods of time, contains all the features of the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes." Everyone saw the truth, but all chose to ignore it. Paleontologists were faced by a fossil record that definitively refutes the picture that Darwin imagined, but openly turned their backs on the truth.
The American paleontologist S.M. Stanley describes how this fact, revealed by the fossil record, is completely ignored by the Darwinist dogma that dominates the world of science:
The known fossil record is not, and never has been, in accord with gradualism. What is remarkable is that, through a variety of historical circumstances, even the history of opposition has been obscured… "The majority of paleontologists felt their evidence simply contradicted Darwin's stress on minute, slow, and cumulative changes leading to species transformation." . . . [but] their story has been suppressed. 169

Every so often I will hear from a bio-pharma customer who will tell me something similar to this:
We can't move to a newer version of Acrobat because we have to make PDF 1.4 files for agency submissions.
Put succinctly— that just isn't true.
Acrobat XI (and previous versions) can easily save back to previous versions.
In fact, you can set Acrobat to create files in the version you want all the time, by adjusting a few simple settings.
I've previously written about two related topics:
- How to Change PDF Versions for Agency Compliance
- How to create a PDF Settings file for Acrobat Font Embedding for Agency Submissions
In this article, I will discuss how to:
- Saving and Loading PDF Settings
- Save out an older PDF setting to move to a new system

- Setting the default PDF Setting for:
- PDF Print Driver
- Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- Creating PDF from the desktop, in batch or when combining documents

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2013 (1460 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Plug In's artistic director is pulling the plug.
The Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art's board of directors announced Thursday that Anthony Kiendl, the city gallery's executive/artistic director for the past seven years, will be leaving his post next month to take a position as CEO of the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina.
Kiendl's last day at Plug In is Sept. 30.
During his tenure at Plug In, Kiendl led a $4-million fundraising campaign and oversaw a multi-phased transformation that included the construction of and relocation to a new home, a $15-million arts and education centre launched in partnership with the University of Winnipeg.
It a released statement, Kiendl said, "I have learned so much at Plug In; this has definitely been a career high point for me. To be able to accomplish this in my hometown makes it all the more meaningful... I am grateful to have had this opportunity."
Before assuming his new post at the MacKenzie Art Gallery next May, Kiendl will travel to New York, where he will spend several months pursuing research and educational opportunities, including participation in an art criticism and writing course directed by David Levi Strauss as part of the School of Visual Arts' master of fine arts program.
Plug In's director of development, Heather Laser, will assume the role of acting director until Plug In's board decides on the institute's future management plan.

Tribute South West One West
St Austell 41, Bridgwater & Albion 12
BRIDGWATER & Albion's run of three successive wins came to a crashing end as they were beaten 41-12 by high-flying St Austell.
In a game of eight tries, three yellow cards and two reds, the Cornish side proved to be too strong for Albion, despite the visitors having raced into a 12-0 lead through an Ollie Dunn try and a penalty try.
St Austell dominated the early stages of the game despite playing into a stiff breeze.
Bridgwater hardly ever penetrated the home 22 until the 17th minute, when a loose kick out of defence by St Austell reached Matt Hastie on the home 10 metre line.
He dropped the kick and the ball went so far forward that all the players stopped, waiting for the whistle.
Hastie was first to realise that he had not been penalised and kicked the ball deep into the home 22 where it was kicked to touch.
From the line-out, Bridgwater set up a driving maul that was collapsed a couple of metres out and the referee awarded the penalty try, which was converted by Stu Heal - Bridgwater had been gifted seven points.
Moments later, a Bridgwater line-out ploy on the home 10 metre line saw the ball thrown very short to James Bryant.
He handed on to Ollie Dunn looping around to the front and he drove 40 metre through a hesitant defence for an excellent solo try in the corner.
Heal's conversion was just wide but Bridgwater enjoyed a 0-12 lead, albeit somewhat against the run of play.
Five minutes later, St Austell broke their duck - a couple of penalties in quick succession to the home side saw a lineout some ten metres from the Bridgwater line.
From the lineout, St Austell set up a driving maul and the referee was consistent in his interpretation by awarding the home side a penalty try when Sam Knights was adjudged to have entered from the side - Knight was yellow carded for his sins.
Minutes later the home side were level when Number eight Adam Kellow touched down following a period of pressure.
On the stroke of half time, St Austell moved the ball right from a ruck on the Bridgwater 22.
The ball reached Ben Chenoweth on the wing and he evaded the defence for a try converted by Shepherd and a 19-12 half time lead for the home side.
Nick Spellissy replaced Dan Lang at the interval with Bryan Webb moving to the wing.
Shepherd increased the home lead with a penalty in the 42nd minute but Bridgwater held out despite playing into the breeze.
Midway through the half, home winger Ashley Taylor got a brace of tries, earning a valuable bonus point.
The first, converted by Shepherd was a typical winger's try, finishing off a slick move that saw the ball go through many pairs of hands.
The second was a magnificent individual effort, gathering the ball well inside his own half on the left and a coruscating run saw him evade a number of defenders to score in the opposite corner - a truly great try deserving of more than the five points it achieved.
St Austell then had a player sent to the bin for an illegal tackle, before hooker Miles Davey crashed over for a score - Shepherd converted.
Home flanker, Paul Winterbottom, then saw red for an off the ball incident, before Bryan Webb followed in similar fashion for an alleged punch.
The game was brought to a close with St Austell running out comfortable winners - Albion host Chard next Saturday (February 22).
## The Chard match will see a visit to Bridgwater of RFU President, Bob Reeves.
The game is being sponsored in part by The Bridgwater Former Players and anyone who has ever played for Bridgwater is invited to contact Emma at the club (01278 423900) to order a ticket to the pre-match lunch and have a chance to meet the RFU President.

Vegetarian Diet Basicsby Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, May 2, 2009
These days, more and more folks are ditching meat from their diets for eco- and health-friendly reasons (or both). There are many different types of vegetarians — the strictest being vegan. If you or your loved one is going veg, here are some basic things to remember.
Vegetarian Diets 101
All vegetarians choose from these basic food groups: grains, fruits, veggies, legumes, nuts and seeds. A vegan is the strictest type (look for a separate post on that soon); however, different folks may mix it up and allow some foods but not others — usually it depends on religious, ethical or dietary choices.
- The basic types:
- Pesco-vegetarians – include seafood and fish
- Lacto-vegetarians – include dairy (milk, cheese and yogurt)
- Ovo-vegetarians – include eggs
- Ovo-lacto-vegetarians – include eggs and dairy
- Vegan – no foods containing animal products (including dairy, eggs and even sometimes honey)
Here's a quiz: can you figure out what a pesco-lacto-ovo-vegetarian eats? Yep, fish, dairy and eggs but no meat.
Minding Nutrition Needs
Eliminating fish, dairy or eggs from your diet significantly drops your protein intake. For optimum health, we should all take in about 2 sensible servings of protein a day. If you ditch the meat, there are other options. You might try 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, an egg, half a cup beans or lentils or 3 ounces of tofu.
Of course, alternate protein sources such as tofu, seitan (a thick, textured meat replacement made from wheat gluten), quinoa or amaranth are always good choices. Try to combine various foods that complement each other — maybe you have peanut butter on whole wheat bread or prep up some brown rice and beans.
Iron and zinc deficiencies are two other biggies. Many people, meat-eaters and not, lack iron in their diets. It's important for vegetarians to include various iron sources: green leafy veggies (like kale, spinach and broccoli), almonds, lentils and beans.
One thing to remember: iron from plant sources isn't easily absorbed. Combining them with vitamin C-rich foods helps increase absorption. That means, squeeze fresh lemon juice on your spinach or follow your rice and beans plate with a fresh, fruit salad. Cooking with cast-iron pots can also increase iron consumption, but limit that to once a week because iron is potentially toxic. There are supplements available, but check with your doctor on those first.
As for zinc, you can get that from fish, eggs or dairy — as long as you eat enough. Nuts are another good source.
A Day in the Life…
To get an idea for a balanced daily diet, here's what I'd suggest for a lacto-ovo-vegetarian.
Breakfast: try a frittata or some buckwheat pancakes with a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
Snack: opt for yogurt, a handful of nuts, fruit or a slice of cheese.
Lunch: add PB&J to whole-wheat bread, chased with a glass of milk and fresh fruit.
Dinner: you can't go wrong with these rice and corn cakes, served with a side of sautéed spinach. Most vegetarians (not vegans) can wash this meal down with a light beer! (Yep, not all beer is animal-free.)
P.S.: We spotlight vegetarian recipes on this site along with meat-friendly ones (after all, Kristine, our editor, is a vegetarian herself), but there are tons of vegetarian-only sites out there. Vegetarian Times is one good one to check out — just be mindful that not all recipes may not meet our usual calorie and fat parameters.

Galaxy Chomp
Alright! I'm currently working on a game called Galaxy Chomp, which has a Kickstarter going here: http://kck.st/Wg2R3L
Behold, our pitch video:
It's a (real-time) roguelike in space, essentially. Randomly generated galaxy to play in. Tough difficulty. Randomized (as in, they are different every game and must be identified) items and spatial features (what will the green nebula do to me today?). One goal, that you may never reach. Save your galaxy from destruction at the hands of the evil Chompo.
However, unlike roguelikes, Galaxy Chomp will have a simple control scheme and be easy to get into. So if you like roguelikes, space ship-y games, RPGs, or even action games, check it out!

Stuck. Fed up. Bored stiff. For every way we express our mind-numbing exercise frustrations, there's a totally simple way to break past it, says exercise physiologist Amy Dixon. Make gym time fun time with these energizing tips and bust out of your workout rut.
No ExcusesThe most important part of getting fit is to stop making excuses not to, Dixon says. We all are crunched for time, sore, and just looking for an excuse to stay in our jammies.
But no excuse is good enough for you not to take care of your health. Start taking a "no-ifs,-ands,-or-buts-about-it" attitude toward fitness.
Be FlexibleYou don't have to pack your workout into just one time slot. If you need to, break your workout into two or more smaller workout sessions spaced throughout the day. You'll get great results and will still have time for the rest of your responsibilities.
Do SomethingIf you're like most women, when you don't have a full hour to devote to exercise you opt out. For what? A few more sleepy minutes between the sheets.
But even if you can only work out for 20 minutes a day, that time will make a difference. Something is always better than nothing.
Make it a HabitFitness isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. By thinking of exercise as just one of many important health habits, working out will become just as automatic as brushing your teeth, says Dixon.
Get a GoalWhen starting or even maintaining a workout, motivation is key. Jot down your goal and post it in a prominent place like your bathroom mirror.
Whether you want to lower your cholesterol or fit into your size six jeans without a struggle, chasing a goal is the best way to keep you moving toward fitness.
No Gear NeededDon't have the dough to dish out on a fancy gym membership? Luckily, plenty of recession-proof exercise routines don't involve a gym, equipment, or cash.
These exercises have the added benefit of freeing up your schedule, since you won't have to head off to the gym to get in a sweat.
Be ConsistentWonder why the last day you skipped at the gym magically turned into a month? Because when we don't consistently exercise, fitness falls completely off our radar.
To stay consistent, Dixon recommends creating a set schedule of exercising at least three days a week. That way, on those days, you can literally check off working out. After all, what's more satisfying than checking off a to-do?

Protein Foods
Foods high in protein such as fish, chicken, meats, soy products, and cheese, are all called "protein foods." You may also hear them referred to as 'meats or meat substitutes."
The biggest difference among foods in this group is how much fat they contain, and for the vegetarian proteins, whether they have carbohydrate.
Best Protein Choices
The best choices are:
- Plant-based proteins
- Fish and seafood
- Chicken and other poultry
- Cheese and eggs
Plant-Based Proteins
Plant-based protein foods provide quality protein, healthy fats, and fiber. They vary in how much fat and carbohdyrate they contain, so make sure to read labels.
- Beans such as black, kidney, and pinto
- Bean products like baked beans and refried beans
- Hummus and falafel
- Lentils such as brown, green, or yellow
- Peas such as black-eyed or split peas
- Edamame
- Soy nuts
- Nuts and spreads like almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter
- Tempeh, tofu
- Products like meatless "chicken" nuggets, "beef" crumbles, "burgers", "bacon", "sausage", and "hot dogs"
Fish and Seafood
Try to include fish at least 2 times per week.
- Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids like Albacore tuna, herring, mackerel, rainbow trout, sardines, and salmon
- Other fish including catfish, cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, orange roughy, and tilapia
- Shellfish including clams, crab, imitation shellfish, lobster, scallops, shrimp, oysters.
Choose poultry without the skin for less saturated fat and cholesterol.
- Chicken, turkey, cornish hen
Cheese and Eggs
- Reduced-fat cheese
- Cottage cheese
- Egg whites and egg substitutes
- Buffalo, ostrich, rabbit, venison
- Dove, duck, goose, or pheasant (no skin)
Beef, Pork, Veal, Lamb
If you decide to have these, choose the leanest options, which are:
- Select or Choice grades of beef trimmed of fat including: chuck, rib, rump roast, round, sirloin, cubed, flank, porterhouse, T-bone steak, tenderloin
- Beef jerky
- Lamb: chop, leg, or roast
- Organ meats: heart, kidney, liver
- Veal: loin chop or roast
- Pork: Canadian bacon, center loin chop, ham, tenderloin
Tips for Carbohydrate Counters
Meats do not contain carbohydrate so they do not raise blood glucose levels. A balanced meal plan usually has about 2-5 ounces of meat.
Most plant-based protein foods, like beans and soy products, and any breaded meats contain carbohydrate. It's best to read food labels carefully for these foods.
In general there is about 15 grams of carbohydrate in ½ cup beans, and between 5 to 15 grams in soy-based products like veggie burgers and "chicken" nuggets.
About ¼ of your plate should come from high protein foods. So 1 chicken breast or about 3-4 ounces of pork loin fits.
If you are having a casserole type entrée like lasagna, about 1 cup will count as your meat and the starch for your meal. Fill the other ½ of your plate with nonstarchy vegetables.
Meats do not have a glycemic index because they do not raise blood glucose levels. Vegetarian sources, like beans, lentils and nuts have a low GI. As with all the meal planning options, include a source of protein at each meal.

Well we all take another step closer to King's Hunting Rules with the passage of New Mexico SB 196 today.
Take out the WMA's & cow tags and DIY NR's get a whopping 5% of the tags. What a bizarre scam they will have now with unprecedented rules like: Outfitters get double the tags as NR DIYers!???; No NR on WMA's; No NR cow tags??? Where else can you find another state doing ANY of these? And the legislators' argument for it was they wanted 90% for residents as is typical of most other states. Ya right. What they want is welfare from wealthy NR at the expense of the "hunting heritage" of the less affluent. So help me if I ever hear one NM legislator use that catch phrase again.............you know what they are full of.
I believe New Mexico will have overtaken Utah as the King of King's Hunting Rules.
Only way I see this trainwreck ending is if CO & WY both institute a reciprocation policy.
Anyone wanna guess what the next state to screw NR's will be?

Started genealogy when assisting my son with a Boy Scout Merit Badge about 1999. Cried when I found my grandparents and Uncle Bobby's headstones on here. (Bobby died when he was three.) Michelle
Please feel free to use pictures and information that I post for your personal and private genealogical purposes only (other than Ancestry)and please give credit. HOWEVER, PLEASE DON'T RE-UPLOAD MY FAMILY PICTURES AND RESEARCH TO ANCESTRY. ANY PICTURE THAT I HAVE UPLOADED TO FIND A GRAVE of my family, I HAVE ALSO UPLOADED TO ANCESTRY. JUST FIND IT ON ANCESTRY AND ATTACH IT TO YOUR TREE WITH THE ORIGINAL DATE AND SUBMITTER. When I fulfill photo requests, I try to get everyone in the same plot and provide extra information to the family. It helps me and I hope that it helps others. Right now, I'm working on Oak Grove in Americus, Sumter County, Georgia and hope to branch out to other area cemeteries in the future.
Also, I am happy to transfer relatives to family members who will care for them even if you are not close relatives. Obviously, the closer relative asking has the right to care for a memorial before a distant relative but the important thing is for a memorial to be taken care of, added to and for it to reflect the life that it memorializes. Please use the edit tab to request changes or transfers. I don't generally transfer my own relatives unless you are within guidelines and I am not or there is a really good reason.
Thank you for sending obituaries but I do not usually add them unless I wrote them or have permission from the author, funeral home or newspaper that they appeared in. If an obituary meets those criteria, the names of living people will be removed. All of this is per Find A Grave guidelines.
Her family is Gatian, Boggs, Henry, Love and Jarvis(Morgantown WV area) and Rehanek, Cowell, Roberts and Hudec(sw PA area) and Woods, Barber, White, Colegrove, Davisson and Stevens lines(NE Kentucky) and surrounding lines.

According to the photos on the Arlington National Cemetery website, both names are on the headstone (John and Julia).

RE: William Reed
His wife's name is not on the stone so she is not buried with him.

RE: re: Elias Helsel
You're quite welcome, glad to help. Apparently, this marker was unearthed within the year or so, as it wasn't there last time I photographed the older section of Obetz.

RE: Jack Townsend
I have found the location of Charles Townsend, which is 2 rows East of Jack's Grave. I will get a picture of the location my next trip to the cemetery. According to the cemetery records he does not have a headstone either.

RE: Guetlich family tree
Thank you. I'll send it off as soon as I log into my e-mail. What is the date you're reading for Anna's birth? I may be reading it incorrectly as I put through the edit to read 3 Nov, 1879. I've made a lot of headway very quickly and 2 of the 4 siblings had no children. It also looks like a third didn't either, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My last hope is for daughter Anna Guetlich Websters line and they're half way across the state. I will keep you posted! Kathi

Guetlich family tree from antique shop
I saw your note attached to the beautiful family tree found in an antique shop in Atlanta! The cemetery that Philip Guetlich (#42526637) is buried in (Lancaster, Erie Co. NY) is local for me; I've added thousands of memorials to it over the last few years. I would love to take that off your hands in hopes of being able to track current descendants. Of course, he had 3 daughters whose names changed, but I am tracing his only son now. He died in 1955 so I'll keep on going from there. One has to be very careful as there were two people in the same town named Philip Guetlich and they were only five years apart in age. I have narrowed down the correct one and am finding his wife and the son mentioned above in a different (Catholic) cemetery. I have those records as well so I'll start setting up memorials and connecting people as it's easier for me to then keep track and trace these people. If you're willing to part with the document, let me know. Worse case, I'm at the local historical society every Sunday and can leave it with them if all other avenues are exhausted. Nice find by the way, thank you for saving it! Kathi

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/6/2013 (1526 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jets fans who own a Zach Bogosian jersey don't need to panic over the lack of a new contract. He's going to be with the Jets and likely for a long time.
The spectre of an offer-sheet, a hold out or even a trade will loom until he's signed but with both sides motivated to reach a pact, the odds on it not getting done are next to none.
Bogosian missed time last season with an injury and hated it. Holding out is an option but the player will be most reluctant to play this card. A trade is always an option but finding a player of Bogosian's quality who wants to be in Winnipeg and wants to be here long term is nothing for the Jets to take for granted. Moving Bogosian is not an option.
The first and most important question a team asks before tendering an offer-sheet is always, "will they match?" and if the answer is yes the process usually ends before it begins.
Such will be the case where Bogosian, a restricted free agent, is concerned. As much as any number of teams would love to have Bogosian, and he represents a significant upgrade from most in the unrestricted free agent crop this summer, the Jets just simply won't let him go.
The assessment teams make when preparing an attempted RFA raid is determining the value the player brings to the team owning his rights. Is there depth at that position within the organization? Would they be willing to let him walk in order to take the compensation picks?
In the case of Bogosian and the Jets the answers clearly add up to GM Kevin Cheveldayoff matching any offer less than ridiculous.
The Jets have grown to rely on Bogosian over the past two seasons and he consistently draws the toughest matchups. In five-on-five situations, Bogosian has become Winnipeg's most important defenceman. The Jets simply can't let him walk.
In Bogosian's case it's pretty easy to see he's going to require a contract with an average annual value north of $4 million. The Jets will want term from Bogosian and they'll have to pay for that as he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in just two years.
A six-year-deal somewhere north of $24 million seems equitable.
An offer sheet with an annual average value in between $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 would garner compensation of first- and third-round draft picks.
Would the Jets be tempted to let Bogosian leave for two draft picks? Maybe at a different juncture in the team's development but at some point this team needs to begin to live up to its promise. Losing Bogosian for draft picks would only delay the process and the Jets, despite consistently preaching patience, are beginning to show signs they are ready as an organization to demand more.
Evander Kane recently took to Twitter and said it was time to win and Cheveldayoff has yet to announce a contract extension for his head coach Claude Noel.
If Noel is forced to go into the final year of his contract there will be all kinds of messages but paramount among them will be the expectation to reach the post-season now.
Letting Bogosian leave would be entirely contrary to such a goal.
There is also the message sent to the entire NHL by letting a prime asset such as Bogosian be pried away.
Winnipeg is the NHL's smallest market and is far from entrenched as an organization. Yes, owners Mark Chipman and David Thomson combine to give the team the deepest of NHL pockets but the franchise is run as a stand-alone entity. There is no sugar daddy option at work here.
Maybe some club decides to test the Jets to see just how sturdy an outfit they are and if they can loot their pantry. If it happens once, the rest of the league takes notice and soon others come knocking.
The Jets would have to beat back that notion with a quick and firm response.
They would match for both hockey and business reasons.
Bogosian's agent Bob Murray says he has had a few discussions with the Jets regarding his client's next contract. The last time these sides worked on a deal it took all summer and right up to the first week of training camp before something could be ironed out.
Murray is a patient and fair-minded agent with a solid reputation. He doesn't negotiate through the media and there will be no stunts or threats.
Bogosian wants to be in Winnipeg and the Jets want him here. Long term.
This deal will get done when it gets done. But it will get done.

You'd be forgiven for not recognising this young woman's face, she's notoriously media shy.
I should know. I'm her sister.
In fact that's the only reason I can put my pen to her very first media interview.
At just 21 years of age Elle Demasi was placed at the top of every tabloid reporter's hit list when her relationship with West Coast Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui went public.
Since then, she's been turning down media requests left, right and centre – cover shoots, fashion spreads, features, exposes, you name it.
Well the proverbial cloak of privacy is about to be lifted tonight when she makes her blue carpet debut at the Brownlow Medal ceremony.
Elle says it's a great honour to be invited; nonetheless she's extremely nervous.
"It intimidates me a lot, I'm not sure what to expect because I've never had to answer to the media," she said.
"I've been looking online and some of the comments from the public and reporters can be pretty nasty. I feel sorry for the girls. It's like people will pick on any little thing.
"Nic's told me not to read that stuff but it's hard not to, I guess that's why we just want to keep our own business private."
Being privy to the goings-on of the media I can't help but feel a little sorry for my sister.
I don't think she quite anticipates the barrage of tabloid interest that's about to pursue her.
I mean we're not talking Kate Middleton nipple-party hysteria ... but it's Nic Naitanui.
He's kind of a big deal.
Granted, my sister has never had the slightest interest in AFL.
In fact she didn't even recognise the footy player when he first approached her at a rap concert in 2009.
"He'd just been drafted and I'd never watched a footy game in my life so I didn't know who he was," she said.
"We were sitting near each other so we started chatting and we just became friends, then eventually it turned into something more."
In December 2011 after several months of dating, Elle and Nic made their relationship official.
Shortly after that my sister and I attended our first Eagles game.
Surrounded by screaming fans holding up posters with Nic's giant head plastered across them, we exchanged looks of disbelief.
Was that the same little punk that sits on my couch almost every night and always polishes off the cutlets before anyone else can get to them?
It's hard to comprehend the hype.
But in my opinion, celebrity aside, the couple couldn't be any better suited.
The young ruckman towers over most people but he's surprisingly shy and softly spoken, not to mention humble.
The pair enjoys each other's company to an almost nauseating degree – from a sister's point of view that is - preferring to hang out and watch movies all day rather than attend premieres and parties.
But being slightly reclusive comes with the territory.
For anyone who ever ventures out on the streets of Perth with Nic Naitanui, I advise you: don't have a time schedule of any sort.
A five-minute walk from the coffee shop to the car can easily turn into a prolonged autograph session where someone's granny stops to tell you how much her grandson and husband and next door neighbour "really love you Nic and can you please sign this crumpled napkin that I just found in my handbag?"
For most it would be completely overwhelming and somewhat intrusive but the big boy just takes it in his rather oversized stride - and I have no idea how he does it.
Nic Nat loves meeting his fans, he loves chatting with strangers and he even loves the endless invitations to junior football games - this is a young man who is completely aware of his fortunate position, and he certainly knows who to thank for it.
Nic is always quick to remind my sister that the privileges they enjoy would never be possible if not for his supporters.
Privileges such as an invitation to the Brownlow for example, which in my experience, would rate for many women as the absolute highlight of their social lives.
I know I'd burst a blood vessel or two in excitement.
But not my sister. I don't think I've ever seen such a look of pure anxiety on her face as the one that surfaced when she received her invitation.
It's a stressful step out of everyday life - finding the dress, perfecting the blue carpet walk, preparing to talk to the media and let's not forget that dreaded giant WAG rotisserie.
Luckily, family friend Aurelio Costarella came to the rescue with a stunning gown.
The internationally acclaimed designer dressed Chris Judd's wife Rebecca at last year's medal count and has turned down more than 50 requests to dress WAGs this year.
Costarella said he was more than happy to dress the Brownlow debutante and no one else besides host Rachel Finch.
"Elle's gorgeous and she's going to look stunning," he said.
"It's daunting and she's obviously really terrified, and these girls are open to so much scrutiny that they have every reason to be.
"But we've kept her look very simple it's just a really beautiful, classic, elegant style and that's really the way forward for Brownlow."
In her final year of study to become a primary school teacher, Elle has always had her sights set on pursuing her passion for working with children and then someday enjoying her own.
In my eyes my little sister was always destined to be covered in baby spew, smelling like bolognaise and putting her Italian vocal chords to good use yelling at little Antonio to stop forcing Tiny Teddies into the DVD player.
Who would've thought she'd be draped in diamonds and clad in couture with every TV network camera wanting a money shot of her face?
"I never thought I'd be at a Brownlow, this is so funny it just makes me laugh," Elle said.
"I would never have imagined myself being there, but now that I'm with Nic, I can't imagine things being any different.
"I've got the dress and everything sorted now so I can finally relax, and I'm just really looking forward to having a great night with my boy."
So despite what you may or may not hear along the way, that's the kind of girl my sister really is.
Call it journalistic self-indulgence, call it exploiting family contacts - call it whatever you like.
She's my sister and I'm getting in with the good word first ... this is Elle Demasi, and she is an absolute gem.
