Episode # 5176----It's all about Stephanie trying to right her wrong, today, but is her attempt at making things right only going to put Brooke in a worse place?
The day begins as Ridge and Eric commiserate. They worry that Stephanie will convince Brooke to confide her feelings about the attack. And boy oh boy, do they know Stephanie. Trying to head a disaster off at the pass, Eric leaves a message for Stephanie insisting she not go near Brooke.
Famous last words. Stephanie finds her way to Brooke's home where she does her best to make amends. As you can imagine, Brooke refuses to accept Stephanie's apology. So, Stephanie takes another approach. She asks Brooke to vent her feelings about the attack. She also thinks it would be cathartic for Brooke to relive the night of the attack. She encourages Brooke to do just that while she attempts to comfort her.

I don't understand why Brooke blames Stephanie so much..... wasn't steph right all along? Where has brooke's beloved children been in the last couple of weeks? No where to be seen or heard from because she was too busy working her way into Ridge's life, heart, and bed ....AGAIN!
Stephanie hit the nail on the head, When it comes down to Brooke and her latest man nothing matters especially her children.
Look at the way she cast her own flesh and blood aside like a bad penny just for the affection of Ridge.
Wasn't it just 14 days or less ago brookews vowing nothing would ever, ever, ever sytand between her and her own flesh and blood, her children. Nothing but a willing man I guess.

In Zodiac wheel, Leo is the fifth of zodiac signs which is being ruled by the sun. It is a positive sign and is thought to be male.

Virgo is the 6th zodiac sign of Zodiac wheel and is has been symbolized by virgin
Chioggia is a little town, hidden in the shadow of Royal City of Venice, but they are proud Venetans as well. Venetian lions are everywhere - not only on public buildings, but on private houses too.
Infact in the fortress of San Leo the traditional round towers with corbels and machicolations exist together with the elbow-shaped walls which mark the giving up of the round walls experienced in the fortress of Sassocorvaro. The fortress bears the traces of the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini's first work in the territory of the Montefeltros.
The fortress of San Leo is undoubtly the most well-known in the Dukedom; It enjoys a great fame as a military bulwark, unconquerable less for its fortifications than for its extraordinary geographical position. Nevertheless, this fortress too, necessitated remarkable restoration works during the course of the centuries, both because of the continuous landslides and the ambition to keep it always perfectly efficient.
The time of the fortress's first constrction is unknown, but surely it was during the Longobard age. The old body of the fortress dates to the time of the Malatestas, who restored and modified it. However, only under Federico the fortress underwent substantial changes. This happened around the second half of the 1470s at the same time of the fortress of Cagli, or at least few years before.

TPWD News Release — Aug. 25, 2011
Begun 66 years ago, the association is the oldest conservation law enforcement organization in the nation. It is made up of 29 member agencies from the United States and Canada, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Law Enforcement Division has been a member since 1995.
A game warden for six years, Bird has been stationed in Wharton County all of that time. TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith presented Bird the award at the Aug. 25 meeting of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission.
"Warden Bird has consistently demonstrated a very strong degree of professionalism and dedication to mission, continually excelling in the high standards we expect from all our officers," Smith said. "He is the epitome of what we hope the public envisions a Texas game warden."Smith noted that Bird has become a core member of the warden team that works the four counties in his district, setting an excellent example of teamwork, investigative skills, work ethic and attitude."One of warden Bird's strongest attributes is his passion for community service and his commitment to TPWD's public outreach mission," Smith continued. "In addition to the excellent working relationships he maintains with landowners and other constituents in his assigned patrol area, he also organizes or participates in several annual Operation Outdoors and educational programs."Among the events Bird has been involved with are the "Hunt for Heroes" and "Wounded Warriors Weekend," which are hunts and fishing trips for disabled or wounded military personnel; the Wharton County Youth Hunt; the Wharton Boys and Girls Club Kidfish; the Victoria Boulevard Lion's Club Kidfish; and the Wharton County Youth Hunter Education program.
"Warden Bird has dedicated himself to not only fulfilling his duties as a game warden in his assigned area," Smith said, "but to also fill a void left in the Wharton County community after Game Warden Justin Hurst was killed in the line of duty in 2007. As a cadet in the Game Warden Training Academy at the time, Chris…requested assignment to Wharton County. Newly commissioned Game Warden Bird reported for duty and immediately went about building a reputation similar to his predecessor, but in his own right, as 'their game warden.'"

Three arrested after crashing stolen vehicle
Three arrested after crashing stolen vehicle
Bay of Plenty
Three teenagers have been arrested after crashing a stolen car and decamping from the vehicle. Police are now investigating whether the incident is linked to two aggravated robberies in the town over the weekend.
At approximately 3.45pm a member of the public called police to report seeing a vehicle containing men wearing balaclavas in Ngongotaha. The vehicle was confirmed as a Mazda stolen from the Central Mall car park in Rotorua on Sunday afternoon.
Police responding to today's call spotted the vehicle which subsequently failed to stop for police. A pursuit was initiated but this was called off by police on more than one occasion for public safety reasons. The vehicle was spotted again on Te Ngae Street near the intersection with Sala Street and seconds later it crashed into a power pole.
Three men decamped from the vehicle. A police dog unit was deployed and other officers began searching on foot and in vehicles resulting in three arrests.
Detective Senior Sergeant Zane Smith said: "It's too early to say whether this incident is connected with the weekend's robberies but we are certainly considering that possibility. We know at least four people were involved in the robberies and still have to confirm whether there is a definite link between events at the weekend and today, so we still need public further assistance.
"In the meantime I would like to applaud the member of the public whose vigilance and decision to call police immediately about the suspicious behaviour she witnessed was a critical factor in the early arrest of these three suspects."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Rotorua Police on 07 348 0099. Information can also be provided anonymously to the organisation Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

By Rob Nikolewski | Capitol Report New Mexico
SANTA FE — The numbers haven't been adding up for the state lottery in recent years and that means unless the Legislature can come up with a fix, students who qualify for lottery scholarships to New Mexico universities and colleges will see across-the-board cuts.
"We'll have to cut the size of awards for each student," José Z. Garcia, secretary of the Higher Education Department told members of the Legislative Finance Committee on Wednesday. "That's what's in statute for us to do."
The scholarship program is facing a $5-million shortfall as the state lottery is taking in less money in recent years due to the stagnant economy. At the same time, tuition rates at New Mexico institutions are rising. Since its inception in 1996, more than 82,600 students from across the state have been awarded lottery scholarships.
The scholarship program will continue, but unless Roundhouse lawmakers come up with a solution, Garcia said the amount given to students will be reduced by an estimated 35 percent.

Funny Father's Day Card | Shooting My Boyfriends
The Product:
He liked to threaten, but we're all happy he never did...
Inside is blank for your personal sentiment
- Printed on high-quality 110lb acid-free paper
- 5.5 x 4.25 folded card (size A2)
- Includes 100% recycled, 100% Post-Consumer Waste brown bag envelope
All Cheeky Kumquat cards are hand-designed, printed, cut, scored and folded.
The Maker:
"With a background in history and teaching it only makes sense to open a cheeky greeting card shop...
Which I did so in early 2013 after finally succumbing to pressure from family and friends to try selling my greeting cards online. I have never been a sappy card-lover, but I always read the punchlines on the funny ones, so I figured I'd open a shop with my own brand of humor and see if anyone else appreciated it. In addition to the cards, I recently developed a line of buttons and magnets with a cheeky edge. I am now so happy to be a part of the supportive and creative community of Etsy buyers and sellers, and am totally floored by the positive response I have gotten to my products.
As I am lucky enough to be mom to the world's most awesome little girl (the original Cheeky Kumquat, as she's been known since she was three months in utero), much of my designing goes on in the wee hours of the night. Most of the ideas for my cards come from conversations I have had with my husband or from personal life experiences. My workspace doubles as a play area and my daughter loves helping me seal the envelopes when I am fulfilling orders. Which is super cute when I have three orders and less cute when I have thirty orders. But still cute.
I have no grand designs to become a greeting card mogul; I run this business in my free time in between play dates, story time and marathon games of hide and seek. Making cards and buttons and fulfilling orders allows me some much-needed adult time and is something I truly love to do, most likely because I don't consider it a job, but rather a really fun hobby I get to make a little bit of money doing.
I hope that my cards and buttons make you chuckle and remind everyone that you can't take life too seriously. It's just less fun that way."

REEB day is almost like the 4/20 for alcohol. The origins of REEB are very complex, R is the 18th letter of the alphabet 18- 12 months gets you six getiing you to june (6th Month) then E the 4th letter of the alphabet Two E's Would be 2XE (the 24th) And B being the 2nd letter in the alphabet Brings you back to the begining of the end making it (year 02 or which ever year it is) Therefore getting the word Reeb When Spelt Backwards Creating Beer Day, Now that is some straight up wu-tang Shit right there. But it is not only for beer any kind of drinking is appreciated.

Check out this teardown of a Sony OLED TV. It looks like Sony has a standardized architecture for their TVs, which makes sense, but which also means that some TVs have unused capabilities (such as a multi-core CPU powerful enough to run a web browser. I wish an enterprising hacker would figure out how to download code and run them on the TVs -- my understanding from reading Sony's GPL web site is that they already have Linux and busybox installed. Oh well, maybe GPL 3.0 will force Sony to make their TVs user-upgradable in the future.
It's significant that Sony's not using the Cell CPU in their TVs. That was part of the justification for spending so much on Cell. I assume this means that Cell's just not cost-effective for TVs.

Great time on the Pride!!: Carnival Pride Cruise Review by caulder60
Overall Member Rating
Great time on the Pride!!
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
Tips and gratuity!!
Leave the gratuities as is. It's 11.50 per day per person $80.00 for the week. There is a breakdown and when you see the breakdown you will understand it is not a lot since it is split between three people. Those who take off and say they give it to them in cash are probably lying and trying to be cheap. The room stewards are awesome and the wait staff awesome.
Still don't know why the bad reviews. The food was hot, good. But, I do not agree that food is available all the time. On the Pride they do have 24 hour pizza and ice cream bar. You really do have to look at your fun times that you get each evening for the next day to see what buffets are open and what time. More
The decor is themed and people complained about the naked pics but you really don't see them too much unless you are standing there staring at them. It is a dark theme but not a problem for us.
Port Carnival
We did the Alligator tour. I would highly recommend this. It was great, you get a tour, you may or may not see alligators but even if you don't it is still a great ride and great information. You also get to taste alligator and the non profit organization shares animals with you. You also get a lot of information about the lands, swamps etc.
Nassau Bahamas
It was great. We did not do a planned excursion. We paid $25.00 and a taxi with 6 other people drove us around for 3 hours and dropped us off to take pics. We saw so many things that we wouldn't have been able to see. We also stopped at Atlantis. There were so many complaintsby people who paid $159. for Atlantis. They said by the time they got off the ship then had to wait two hours for a ride they only had 2 hours to be at Atlantis. I am glad we did how we did it. When we got back it was a 10 minute walk to the free beach next to the ship. On the way back we stopped at Senor Frogs and then strolled passed the straw markets back to the ship. The straw markets, be aware they are relentless with trying to get people to buy stuff.
Free port
The excursions were canceled bc of the water. It is commercial, but they have a senor frogs and straw markets. You can take a 15 minute cab ride to town but we didn't bc you have to be back on the ship so early.
Nassau was the better deal for purchasing items.
Embarkation at Baltimore was smooth and fast.
Disembarkation- I wish I knew more. If you want to do self assist you get out quicker, we wanted to do this but could not. I didn't know if you had more than two bags you have to check your bags. We didn't get off until 12: 30pm. We loaned someone our car and they were there since 9 am. Odds and ends
Soda package- cost $50.00 p/p, The cheers package $50.00 per person per room per night. It is a pilot program and this is how it works.
You pay 50.00 per person per night. Everyone in your room must purchase it even if they are not drinking age. It includes soda. There is a limit of 15 drinks per day. The cheaper price is on Monday if you leave Sunday. So don't buy the cheers package Sunday buy it by Monday. You are not able to buy it for a couple of days you must buy it for the entire week.
cruise director Kirk and Gumbie will not be on this ship for another 7 weeks. They got off with us on January 13 for their break so there is two other different people. They return in March.
Comedy shows are awesome
Dance shows are mediocre at best

ARU boss Bill Pulver said Jake White's perceived defensive style and the preference for an Australian at the helm were factors in the Brumbies coach being overlooked for the Wallabies position.
Pulver met Brumbies players in Canberra on Wednesday, but he did not to talk to White, just a day after announcing Ewen McKenzie had been appointed the Wallabies successor to Robbie Deans. It's understood the pair have not yet had the chance to speak about why McKenzie was preferred over the 2007 World-Cup winning South African coach.
Pulver, however, said McKenzie had impressed the selection panel with his vision to ''coach the Australian way'', a reference to playing attractive and attacking football. The statistics don't tell the same story.
The Brumbies have beaten McKenzie's Queensland Reds in the try-scoring tally for the past two Super Rugby seasons, including a huge 11-try gap between the teams this year.
''Both were world-class options, Jake's case was very compelling … he has an outstanding coaching record,'' Pulver said. ''I just think there has probably been a little bit more creativity inside Ewen's programs. He's very vocal in saying 'winning is not enough'. You've got to win in a way that excites and captures the hearts and minds of the rugby community. I agree [with McKenzie]. At this point in time I'd say Ewen [compared with White] has the strongest point in that particular area … One of the things Ewen came out strongly on was the ability to coach the Australian way.''
Pulver denied the ARU had only been interested in appointing an Australian in the top job after New Zealander Robbie Deans - the Wallabies' first foreign coach - was axed with six months left on his contract.
Pulver said the preference was to ''find the best coach'', adding: ''But when you've got two coaches of such a similar standard, there is clearly some advantage in being Australian.''
The ARU sounded out White in February before the start of the season about his interest in being the next Wallabies coach.
The Brumbies coach was invited to a secret job interview in Melbourne two weeks ago.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/2/2013 (1647 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BIG BEAR, Calif. -- The extraordinary manhunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of three murders converged Tuesday on a mountain cabin where authorities believe he barricaded himself inside, engaged in a shootout that killed a deputy and then never emerged as the home went up in flames.
A single gunshot was heard from within, and a charred body was found inside.
If the man inside proves to be Christopher Dorner, the search for the most wanted man in America over the last week would have ended the way he had expected -- death, with the police pursuing him.
Thousands of officers had been on the hunt for the former navy reservist since police said he launched a campaign to exact revenge against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing. They say he threatened to bring "warfare" to officers and their families, spreading fear and setting off a search for him across the Southwest and Mexico.
"Enough is enough. It's time for you to turn yourself in. It's time to stop the bloodshed," LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said at a news conference held outside police headquarters in Los Angeles, a starkly different atmosphere than last week when officials briefed the news media under tight security with Dorner on the loose.
A short time after Smith spoke Tuesday, smoke began to rise from the cabin in the snow-covered woods near Big Bear Lake, a resort town about 128 kilometres east of Los Angeles. Flames then engulfed the building -- images that were broadcast on live television around the world. TV helicopters showed the fire burning freely with no apparent effort to extinguish it.
"We have reason to believe that it is him," said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman, adding she didn't know how the fire started. She noted there was gunfire between the person in the cabin and officers around the home before the blaze began.
Until Tuesday, authorities didn't know whether Dorner was still near Big Bear Lake, where they found his burned-out pickup last week.
Around 12:20 p.m. local time Tuesday, deputies got a report of a stolen pickup truck, authorities said. The location was directly across the street from where law enforcement set up their command post on Thursday and not far from where Dorner's pickup was abandoned. The owner of the vehicle taken Tuesday described the suspect as looking similar to Dorner.
A warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife travelling down Highway 38 recognized a man who fit Dorner's description travelling in the opposite direction. The officer pursued the vehicle and there was a shooting at 12:42 p.m. local time in which the wildlife vehicle was hit numerous times and the suspect escaped on foot after crashing his truck.
After holing up in the cabin, there was a second gunbattle with San Bernardino County deputies, two of whom were shot. One died and the other was expected to live after undergoing surgery.
"We're heartbroken," Big Bear Lake Mayor Jay Obernolte said of the deputy's death and the wounding of his colleague. "Words can't express how grateful we are for the sacrifice those men have made in defence of the community and our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families."
The man believed to be Dorner never came out of the cabin, and a single shot was heard inside before the cabin was engulfed in flames, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
The official later told the AP a charred body was found in the burned cabin. The official requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
Officials were waiting for the fire to burn out before approaching the ruins to search for a body.
Police say Dorner began his run on Feb. 6 after they connected the slayings of a former police captain's daughter and her fiancé with an angry Facebook rant they said he posted. Threats against the LAPD led officials to assign officers to protect officers and their families.
Within hours of the release of photos of the six-foot, 270-pounder described as armed and "extremely dangerous," police say, Dorner unsuccessfully tried to steal a boat in San Diego to flee to Mexico and opened fire on two patrol cars in Riverside County, shooting three officers and killing one.
Dorner served in the navy, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert medal. He was assigned to a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records. He took leave from the LAPD for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2006 and 2007.

Joining Beyonce and Reese in the 'Glee' creator's high profile musical musical project are such A-listers as Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz and Andy Samberg.
Beyonce Knowles and Reese Witherspoon were both locked to star in Ryan Murphy's latest musical project called "One Hit Wonders". Along with the two famed female stars, the "Glee" creator has also cast some other big names that include Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz as well as Andy Samberg.
According to Deadline, Reese, Gwyneth and Cameron will star as three singers who each scored a top hit single in the 1990s. As their careers began to sink, they decided to form a super group. The role of Beyonce, however, is still unclear. As for Andy, it is said that he will be involved in generating music for the film.
Words are, the plan to make "One Hit Wonders" came out during a dinner at the Soho House between Ryan, Gwyneth, Cameron and Reese. The group reportedly wanted to "do something fun together" and shared some ideas until they finally settled on the project.
Ryan is set to direct the musical comedy after signing a seven-figure preemptive deal with Sony Pictures. The "Eat, Pray, Love" helmer will co-write the script along with his partners on "Glee", Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. Together with Gwyneth, he will also serve as the producer. Principal photography is expected to begin soon after he wraps "The Normal Heart".

The Cambridge Seven
Full Product Description
The day he died, D. E. Hoste applied to Hudson Taylor for mission work in the China Inland Mission (Now Overseas Missionary Fellowship). Schofield's prayer was answered as seven Cambridge students volunteered to leave behind cosy lives of wealth and privilege to serve God in whatever way they were led.
These seven inspired thousands of others to think seriously of missionary service. Included among them was C.T. Studd, captain of England and the finest cricketer of his day - if he could give all that up, then so could anyone!
The story of these seven are an inspiration that God can take people and use them in incredible ways - if they are willing to serve.
As Pollock says in his book Theirs is the story of ordinary men, and thus may be repeated'. Will it be repeated in your life?
The Cambridge Seven by John Pollock was published by Christian Focus Publications in September 2006 and is our 9248th best seller. The ISBN for The Cambridge Seven is 9781845501778.

The Cambridge SevenBryan Nicholls, via The Good Book Stall
It is good to see an updated publication of this story of how these seven individually came to their costly commitment to mission in China. They weren't ordinary men! The background is the world of1880's landed gentry society and university life. In this community their taking seriously "You can't serve God and mammon" meant "Goodbye" to promising careers, fortune, family and social relationships. The influence of the American evangelist D. L. Moody in the university resulted in recognition and expansion of the fledgling China Inland Mission. There is a chapter on the early life of its leader, Hudson Taylor.

Poor relation Fanny Price goes to live with her aunt and uncle becoming a put upon Cinderella as she yearns for love.
Someone should alert the verger at Winchester Cathedral to watch for sudden cracks in the stonework; if Jane Austen gets wind of this adaptation of her third novel, she will be turning in her grave. Seldom has a film played quite so fast and loose with an enduring literary work in the dubious cause of seeming "accessible" and "relevant".
Fanny Price, is, as written, a frail, passive mouse - sexy she is not - whose worth is generally undervalued, the poor relation uprooted to the titular des. res. of her aunt and uncle, then put upon like Cinderella by all except kind cousin Edmund (Miller), destined for the Church and supposed to marry money. No prizes for guessing they're made for each other, but not before the seductive, worldy brother and sister Henry and Mary Crawford (Alessandro Nivola and Davidtz) have breezed into the mix to charm, lead astray and betray.
Rozema's cleavage-flaunting Fanny (O'Connor) is spunky, hoydenish, and a writer - flagrantly drawn from the boldly opinionated young Austen herself. In this version, indolent aunt Lady Bertram (Lindsay Duncan, who doubles as Fanny's haggard mother) is luckily too out of it on opiates to notice the children's pastimes, since these include the married daughter having it off with rakish Henry (full on rumpo! Unthinkable!) and the wastrel elder son filling his drawing pad with sketches of pater - Sir Thomas B. (Harold Pinter) - being fellated by and raping slaves on their Antigua plantation.
Alcoholism and some implied child abuse are thrown in for good measure; this could be Brookside in ripped bodices, but it's never Jane Austen, and it makes you long desperately for a sunny tea party and some droll millinery, really.
Although the production values, cinematography and all that stuff are top drawer, dubious casting isn't. Jonny Lee Miller is a doll but he can be no one's idea of a candidate for the clergy. Embeth Davidtz is too old to play Mary. Justine Waddell, who would have been perfect as Fanny, is completely wasted as the cousin with nothing to do. And Pinter should stick with the day job, his Sir Thomas a stiff caricature.
While it may be refreshing to avoid the obvious, flouting the spirit of a classic original is not imaginative. To coin a phrase, it's breeches.

Nutrient Intakes and Patterns in the EPIC cohorts from ten European countries (SNIPE)
This report, entitled "Nutrient intakes and patterns in the EPIC cohorts from 10 European countries", follows a previous special issue (Public Health Nutrition Vol. 5, 6B, 2002) on food consumption of a representative sub-sample of subjects from 10 European countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. For this report, 37 000 single 24-hour dietary recalls were collected in a standardised manner using the same dietary software (EPIC-SOFT®, IARC) and a harmonised nutrient database (ENDB) containing 26 nutrients (including energy). The 14 papers in this special issue describe intake of energy and macro-nutrients, minerals, fat- and water- soluble vitamins, and food supplements. Consumption of highly processed foods, glycaemic load and glycaemic index, specific food group combinations explaining nutrient intakes, and insights on under-reporting are also covered.
These results provide the first reliable comparisons of both food and nutrient intakes and patterns across European countries, based on a detailed and carefully standardised dietary methodology, and are thus a valuable resource and common benchmark for Europe. This information is particularly useful for understanding and better interpreting dietary exposure and its association with disease (including cancer), and for formulating new etiological hypotheses.

Liver cancer, predominantly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accounts for almost 600 000 deaths annually, largely in Africa and Asia. Yet the pathways by which HCC develops and the causes of the marked geographical differences in HCC risk remain to be fully investigated. A newly-published special issue of the journal Cancer Letters entitled "Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Worldwide Translational Approach" (editors Drs A. Plymoth, I. Chemin, P. Boffetta and P. Hainaut) provides a comprehensive review of the critical research issues in HCC. This publication follows from an IARC-organised International Liver Cancer meeting in 2007, which reviewed the state of HCC knowledge, identified research priorities and discussed a flexible protocol for an International Liver Cancer Study (ILCS, http://ilcs.iarc.fr).

The winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2009, Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak,received this distinction "for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase".
Telomerase activity is increased in 80-90% of cancers. This leads to the development of many therapeutic strategies targeting telomerase, either by inhibition of enzyme activity or by employing a cancer vaccine approach to kill telomerase overexpressing tumour cells.

1. What is the inspiration for your Loop name?
3. When is your Loopiversary (date of your first blog on the Loop)?
I think sometime in 2009. Doesn't look like I have history that far back in my blog. I was quite active for a while and became a right-sider back when that was a thing. Then a beautiful little boy came into our lives, followed by a beautiful little girl, and I haven't quite been the same runner or blogger since, though I have become a better man.
4. How long have you been running?
Not counting the constant running I did as a kid in the neighborhood, I had an undistinguished high school track career. As an adult I was an occasional jogger (yes, jogger) who became more serious when a former girlfriend informed me in 2001 that we'd be running the Philly Marathon that fall. She dropped out when we were up to 16-miles in training, and I kept going.
5. What is your favorite distance to race?
The half might be my best distance, but I don't know that I have a favorite. 5Ks HURT but are over quickly and allow you to enjoy that race-day buzz on a regular basis. I often question my sanity during the last 10K of a marathon, but feel like a champion afterwards (well, 3-5 hours afterwards). I'm now feeling the tug of ultras after reading some of the epic RRs here.
6. Do you belong to a local running club?
No. Harrisburg has a small club but the few times I went there was no one at my pace so it seemed silly to drive and still end up running on my own, at whatever distance they'd decided to go. And I'm not really a chatty runner anyway.
7. Have you ever been to a Loopmeet or Loopfest?
Yes, but I don't think I've yet done one "right." My family travels with me which is great, but chasing after goofballs while everyone else is breaking the ice tends to put me on the periphery. I hope to end this pattern at Marshall and Surf City this year, not to mention Boston.
8. Have you ever lost a toenail?
No, but the second toe on my right foot always turns black, then over time a new layer grows under the old one. Sometimes this happens repeatedly until it gets really thick and I have to chisel away at it.
9. What is your favorite post-race treat?
Pizza, unless I'm on the verge of throwing up. Then it's lying face down in the grass.
10. What one piece of running gear is your must-have item?
Well, shorts, but barring that, for racing I've been a fan of the Asics Hyper Speed series for a long time.
11. What socks do you wear when running?
The ones I grab when I stick my hand in the sock drawer. I really should pay more attention to socks.
12. How do your knees feel?
Beautiful. Don't ask me about my $&@#%* Achilles.
13. If you could go to any one running destination/event, where.what would you choose?
No dream event, but I've had my eye on the Mt. Desert Island Marathon for a long time. It looks tough, beautiful, and is in one of my favorite places. Loopfest Acadia anyone?
14. Hot or cold--which is worse to run in?
Hot, but more than that humidity. It sucks my will to live.
15. If you have a running inspiration or mentor, who is it?
No one person. I'm inspired by different people at different times including many on here. I'm currently being inspired by all the hundos going down, courtesy of our own Loopsters.
16. What is your running mantra? (If your answer is "I have no mantra" or something lame like that, you must answer "Da do run, run, run. Da do run, run")
When I pressed too hard at Shamrock on a day I may have been doomed in any case, and completely flamed out, my mantra for my redemption training became "Don't get sped up," as in don't get caught up in what the watch says for the first few miles. A lesson I've learned too many times. It worked and I was able to BQ at Gettysburg 6 weeks later.
17. Are there any other runners in your family?
Kinda. Kim is considering a C25K and I have my fingers crossed. Jason is a fierce runner with great endurance but at age 4 we'll let him chart his own course. I'll try to be a running role model, but that boy loves contact. Lilia runs with the joy of a 2 year old. Not trying to brag, but I totally dominate at tag.
18. Roads or trails?
I'm a road runner. I like trails but getting there takes some time that I don't generally have, unless you count my rail trail.
19. What's the funniest thing that has ever happened to you on a run?
Hmmm. Does having to drop tights for a creative, bare ass "bathroom" break at about 5 AM during a polar vortex count? I wish I could say this happened only once this past winter.
20. What is your most memorable running moment?
Probably the end of my first marathon, Philly 2001, coming toward the Art Museum, hearing the crowd noise get bigger and bigger and knowing I'd done it. There must have been some pollen in the air that day to make my throat swell and eyes get misty.

Ready to wrap things up? How about with this festive Gift Bow Ring.
Maison Martin Margiela is the Italian creative force behind this ring. I noticed this gem back in the summer and wasn't too crazy about it. But again when it popped up in the recent Harpers Bazaar I could sudddenly imagine the statement it'd make. It's the ultimate Christmas power ring.
I'm not sure I'm wrapped around their matching Gift Bow Wallet, but there are a few of other gems in the collection that I'd match it up to – like the Infinity Bracelet.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Review by MagicalMonkeyMop
"Chaos Theory sets a new standard in gaming, how? Read on!"
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Review by MagicalMonkeyMop
I've been a long time Splinter Cell fan, I have owned every game in the series and I have loved each one. When I heard about Chaos Theory I thought "What the hell does Chaos Theory have to do with Splinter Cell?!" then I thought "I gotta get it!". So a few days after release I walk into my local Best Buy and pick it up for PC, when I got home and plopped it into the drive, I gotta say, I was amazed.
Lets start the review with the graphics, the Splinter Cell games have always pushed dynamic lighting, high quality models and top of the line animation. They have done it again with SCCT; it is a absolutely beautiful game. Extremely high polygon models, the best lighting in any game I have ever seen with fantastic animations that make the game look so real you'll get emersed in this game. The game has it's great graphical touches, like where Sam goes out in the rain, his suit becomes reflective and looks wet- or how the enemies eyes grow wide with horror as you grab them and put a knife to their throat. These are not major, but it makes a big difference when you can tell the enemy's emotions through their eyes.
As for the animation, not only have they been smoothened out but they have added various new moves to Sam's already stunning arsenal, such as the ability to strangle or snap someone's neck as they pass underneath you if your dangling from a pipe, or the ability to pull a enemy off of a ledge- or better yet, the ability to rush up to someone and slit their throat with a combat knife, all the new moves are beautifully brutal and are a new benchmark in games today.
Graphics: 10 out of 10, absolutely jaw dropping.
Sound, Music and Voice Overs:
With the sound, I'm going to immediately go to the voice overs for starters, you have the same cast from Pandora Tomorrow (Michael Ironside etc) doing a excellent job to make this game really feel like a espionage thriller. This game is packed with funny lines, great one-liners and a good showing of in-depth story telling. Sometimes, the voice acting doesn't quite live up to the main actors, such as the various guards and bad guys who sound like they were ripped from the awful Roger Moore James Bond movies. What is good, is that the enemies talk to each other, and I don't mean scripted talking, I mean if they see you they will talk about seeing you in the shadows, they'll get a team of guys who are obviously scared slowly approaching you using squad tactics the entire time.
With all the chatter going on it makes the enemies feel alive, not well acted, but still alive. As for the music, it's fantastic as usual- some heavy techno that fits the theme as well as tribal drums and orchestras, the music is top notch- it's movie quality all the way through and once again, is a new benchmark for the genre, if not games in general. The sound is also great, you can almost feel the rain when you head outside or feel like you are walking inside a ship when you hear the engine noises, your feet on the metal flooring and the talking of people on various decks. The sound, music and voice overs are amazing in general though I cannot give it a 10 out of 10 because of the sometimes bad acting.
Sound: 9 out of 10, great!
Controls and Interface:
The controls in this game are great, they take a bit of getting used to but once you do they do the job quite well. All the special moves Sam has are pulled off easily and moving and jumping is very natural. The interface is well done, no complex menus here, just very well laid out options. Your HUD in game is very easy to read and you always know what does what on screen. I cannot say much more about it, just very well done.
Controls: 9 out of 10, great!
Single Player, Cooperative and Versus:
Single Player: The solo gameplay in this game is fantastic- it is better than the first two Splinter Cell's combined, and is so far the best single player of the stealth/action genre. The game takes place in the near future, during a time where information warfare is the main focus. Japan has started the ISDF service which threatens the Chinese and North Koreans, this starts off what could be a major conflict- especially once New York is hit with a terrorist attack that creates the largest blackout in North American history. I won't go very deep into the plot, but it's quite good and enganging. Sam during the game gets to various locals, from Japanese tea houses, New York apartments and old Spanish forts; there is plenty of diversity to be found here. The levels, though more open ended than the last games are still fairly linear- though there are many ways to complete a objective now. A new ability in this series is the ability to select a "load out" which allows you to select what equipment you bring with you. Though there is not much diversity in weaponry (you are stuck with the SC-20k rifle) there is diversity in your rifle's attachments. Your rifle can be outfitted to be a shotgun, a sniper rifle and of course, a assault rifle- not to mention the various gadgets that go with the rifle (typical air-foil rounds, sticky shockers and grenades). The single player is awesome, but that's only where the game begins...
Cooperative: Wowzaz! Online Co-Op! The co-op in this game is great, and beats the crap out of Halo's any day, the only problem is getting it to work. If you are running it through a router or a firewall you will have to open various ports or disable your firewall in order to play online. On top of that, the co-op tricks the game into thinking that it is just 1 computer, so it's best if you and your teammate have the exact same graphical options when playing. Besides the annoying problems starting up Co-Op, it's worth it. The campaign is not just the single player one, it is it's own seperate game. New levels, moves and voice overs are added for co-op, making it like a second game. It lasts about half as long as the single player, with 5 missions- don't think it's short though, the levels are longer than any in single player and are more difficult. Without a good partner, you will fail these missions at higher difficulty settings. Absolutely fantastic co-op, if you can get it to work.
Versus: Versus is almost identical from the Pandora Tomorrow multiplayer, it does not use the new Chaos Theory engine, but instead uses the old PT one for stability. Co-Op consists of 11 multiplayer maps, 5 of which are old (Deftech, Warehouse, Bank, Muesem and the Mall) with 6 new. The gameplay has two teams, Argus Mercenaries and Shadownet spies trying to either kill the other team or complete various objectives (depending on game modes). While this does not sound new, it is very original in concept- the mercenaries play like a first person shooter, while the spies play like they do in single player- 3rd person. This means that you can sneak up behind a mercenary and break his neck, or pull him off of a ledge, while the mercenaries can kill spies with well-aimed sniper shots or grenades. Absolutely fantastic- though my only issue is with the community. Most players online either suck, or quit during gameplay; so if you are skilled at the game getting any competition is difficult. Besides that, it's a solid multiplayer mode that could be it's own game. Fantastic!
Gameplay: 10 out of 10, jaw dropping!
This is a amazing game, and easily a game of the year title- it's also of a great value, it's basically 3 games in 1 with each offering their various challenges and differences. Make sure you pick this one up as soon as possible, it's easily the best stealth/action game ever made.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory gets a 10 out of 10, a amazing game!

Moonlight gilds creases
of a chilly creek searching
for bedding in the hollow.
The stain of burnt cedar
seeps down the hillside
trailing after truck tires
singing down the scale
along the highway.
Sparks from a freight train
splice through the fog
spraying souvenirs
of first beginnings.

Internship Requirement
Queens University of Charlotte places special emphasis on internships. An internship is a planned and supervised out-of-class work experience where a student uses the skills, knowledge, and theories developed in the classroom setting in a real-world professional work environment. Queens University of Charlotte pays special attention to the integration of the work experience in order to form a strong connection between theory and practice, study and work and academics and experience.
Typically during the sophomore year, prior to the internship experience, students complete a preparation course, INT 201 Career Connections, which prepares the students for their internships. After successful completion of INT 201, students seek out internships in coordination with the Manager of Internships. To receive academic credit for an internship, the student must enroll in INT 401, 402 OR 403 and also submit an internship contract to the Manager of Internships.
Students majoring in education, music therapy and nursing will fulfill the internship requirement (INT 201, INT 401 and INT 402 OR INT 403) through practicum experiences in their major. Participation in a 4 credit hour international internship will also satisfy the internship requirement (schedule a meeting with The Center for International Education for more details).
INT 201 is a graded course, while INT 401, 402 and 403 are taken on a Pass-Fail basis. INT 404 allows students to gain 1-6 credit hours of additional internship experience beyond the INT 401 and INT 402 OR INT 403 courses. INT 404 is graded Pass-Fail.
Required Courses:
INT 201 Career Connections
Career Connections: The course begins the career development process through directed professional readings, projects, and discussions. To provide a framework for practical preparation of internships, the course also facilitates self-assessment, acquisition of presentation skills, writing of resumes and cover letters and interviewing practice. This course should normally be taken during the sophomore year. INT 201 is a prerequisite to the professional internship courses at Queens. 2 hrs.
INT 401 Professional Internship I
Professional Internship I: This course enables students to make a strong connection between theory and practice, study and work. To enroll in INT 401, students complete and sign a learning contract with a chosen internship site. Requirements include the completion of 86 work hours, reflective papers, and class meetings. This course should normally be taken in the fall semester of the junior year, but as long as a student has successfully completed INT 201 they are eligible for this course. Pass/Fail. 2 hrs.
INT 402 Professional Internship II
Professional Internship II: For most students, INT 402 is a follow up course to INT 401, completed at the same internship site. Requirements include completion of 86 additional work hours, reflective papers, class meetings, and an oral presentation at the end of the semester. Students usually take INT 402 the semester following the completion of INT 401. Pass/Fail. 2 hrs.
INT 403 Extended Professional Internship
Extended Professional Internship: Students who wish to fulfill the internship requirement at one internship site for extended hours participate in comprehensive academic coursework and extended onsite internship work in order to further make connections between the workplace, industry trends and professional development. 172 onsite internship hours in addition to coursework. This course fulfills the requirements of INT 401 and 402. Approval of the internship site and terms must be given by Internship & Career Programs. Prerequisite: INT 201. Pass/Fail. 4 hrs
INT 404 Professional Internship III
Professional Internship III: This course allows students to gain additional internship experience beyond the INT 401 and INT 402 OR INT 403 courses. Students will be able to make a stronger connection between theory, practice and/or explore additional career opportunities and organizations that might be a better fit for their interests, skills and values. This course is also the option for nursing, education, music therapy and transfer students with 36 plus hours. The prerequisites for this course are INT 401 and 402 OR INT 403. The prerequisites for transfer students with 36 plus hours, nursing, education and music therapy majors is INT 201. Pass/Fail. Repeatable for a total of 12 hrs. 1- 6 hrs.
INT 405 Professional Internship
Professional Internship: This course enables Hayworth College students to make a strong connection between theory and practice, study and work. It is designed for a student who has significant previous work experience and hopes to gain experience and skills in a new work environment. Students will work 130 hours for 3 hours of academic credit (86 for 2 hours and 43 for 1 hour of credit). Attendance at monthly seminars, reflection papers, and a final paper and presentation are required of each student. Approval of the internship site must be given by the Blair House for Internships and Career Programs. Pass/Fail. 1-3 hrs.

Los Angeles (Aug. 3)
Declaring that placing the swastika alongside the American flag was the basest kind of blasphemy, Dr. Cyrus Adler, head of the American Jewish Committee, who is here for a brief-rest, yesterday addressed a group of more than 100 representative members of the local Jewish community at a luncheon given in his honor. Dr. Adler's statement was in connection with a photograph which appeared a few weeks ago in a local daily newspaper showing four young men wearing the Hitlerite emblem and standing beside an American flag.
The situation for the Jews today is more serious than in 1492, when they were expelled from Spain, Dr. Adler stated. "At least, in those days the Jew could be converted to Catholicism," he pointed out. "They were given three months' time within which to sell some of their belongings, and the rest of the world was open to them for colonization."
Now the world is closed to the German victims of Hitlerism, he stated, and the worst part of this phase of persecution is that the Nazis are not courageous enough to adopt a plan of open massacre of the Jews in Germany. What the Nazi wants is not to kill the Jew but to degrade him, to oust leading physicians from their positions and to make them scrub the floors of the hospitals where they formerly were the chief medical authorities, he said.
In discussing the work of the American Jewish Committee, Dr. Adler said that long before Hitler became chancellor of Germany the committee had already been communicating by telephone and cable with the leaders of the German Jews.
"World opinion so far has had but little effect on Germany's attitude toward the Jew," Dr. Adler stated. "The German Government has disregarded the opinion of official England. Mussolini has turned his back on the Nazi representatives. In America Hans Luther and Dr. Schacht have been told in no uncertain terms what this country thinks of the persecution of the Jew. And yet all of this pressure has done little to alleviate the lot of the Jew in Germany.
"It is up to us in America to help financially. Here in America we do not yet feel keenly the terrible plight of the German Jew. But England does, and with its handful of Jews has contributed more money than the four and a half million Jews in this country."

Date of Defense 2004-10-29 Availability unrestricted AbstractCotton (Gossypium spp) is an important world crop. Although great improvements have been achieved through traditional breeding methods, cotton breeders are facing many problems, i.e., narrow genetic base, inability to use alien genes and difficulty in breaking gene linkages. Genetic transformations and quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses are main tools used by breeders to overcome these problems. In this dissertation, an optimized cotton regeneration system from shoot apices was developed. The regeneration rate was increased to 85% by combining rooting induction, indole acetic acid (IAA) shock and graft techniques. The regeneration system is genotype-independent and the whole process takes 12 to 16 weeks.
Transgenic cotton plants were obtained via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using shoot apices as explants. Transformation rates were 0.67% and 1.01% for LBA 4404 with β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene and EHA 105 with Bar gene, respectively. Putative transgenic plants were confirmed by leaf GUS assay, kanamycin or herbicide (Liberty) leaf test, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and southern blot analysis.
Out of 151 polymorphic markers, 53 amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were assigned to individual chromosomes or chromosome arms by using a set of aneuploid genetic stock.
In the QTL analysis of cotton yield and yield components was conducted on an F2:3 population derived from the intraspecific cross. A previously developed linkage map was used based on same population covering 1733.2 cM (37.7%) cotton genome (4700 cM). A total of 47 markers associated with yield and yield component traits were detected. Nine and seven QTL detected by interval mapping (IM) and composite interval mapping (CIM) methods, respectively, four of which were detected by both methods. For lint yield, two main QTL, explaining 27% of variation, were detected via CIM method. No QTL was detected for bolls per plant by IM method and one QTL explaining 8.56% variation was detected by CIM method. For number of fibers per seed, 23.7% of variation was explained by two main QTL detected by both IM and CIM methods. For mean weight per fiber, two QTL were detected via CIM. No QTL was detected for seed number per boll via either method.

Sealed Grounds (Revision 4810)
You will first arrive falling down to the land. Make sure to press B to land safely. When you land safely, Fi will come appear in front of you and tell you that you are in the Sealed Grounds and to proceed with caution. Start heading down the path, and you will encounter Deku Babas for the first time. They are tougher than in previous Zelda games, and invincible if you don't swing your sword just right -- horizontal or vertical depending on how the mouth is open.
After you defeat both of the Deku Babas, keep running along the path until you run into two more Deku Babas. Defeat them quickly and drop down to the ground below for a cutscene to occur. After the cutscene, proceed forward (observe that there is a locked door that you can't go through yet off to the right) and you will see that the path splits into two. Take the path on the left since there is nothing interesting if you take the other path. You can also jump off the cliff to get to the bottom quicker. It's best if you do the latter since it won't take as long and there is nothing to do when just running down the path (unless you like cutting grass with your sword not getting anything from doing so). If you jump off the cliff, make sure to use the Sailcloth to safely land.
At the bottom, you will see a small pedestal releasing a dark aura around it. Get close enough to it and a voice will speak to you telling you to raise your sword up and strike the pedestal. Raise your sword to charge it up and then slash at the small pedestal with the Skyward Strike. After you do so, steam spouts will appear in the area.
Fi will now tell you about Dowsing. Dowsing allow you to sense a nearby goal by looking around the area in First Person view. Press and hold C to activate the Dowsing menu.
In this first-person mode, a purple ring will point to the object you are searching for. Your Wii remote will vibrate and you you will hear a pinging noise. The vibration grows greater and the pinging noise will get louder as you look more in the direction of your objective. Also, a purple arrow will appear on the ring when you are looking in the right direction. Choose the Zelda icon from the Dowsing menu and look around the area until you see the arrow pop up on the ring. Follow the arrow to get to your destination. The steam spouts in this area can be use to fly upwards. Just walk over them and your Sailcloth will lift you up.
Follow the arrow, from the Dowsing ability, and it will bring you to the sealed door that was mentioned earlier. Walk over to the door and the emblem on the door will disappear allowing you to finally be able to enter through the door.
Once you go through the door, you will be in a temple area. Inside this temple is a Bird Statue, off to the left, so make sure to save your game at it. Off to the right is a door, but you are not able to go through it just yet. Instead, look to the left, from the door, and you will spot a Chest with a Revitalizing Potion inside it. If you brought a Heart Potion before leaving the Bazaar at Skyloft, then you will now have two empty bottles that you can use if you use the potions.
'*Side Note:'* If you have both a Heart Potion and the Revitalizing Potion from the chest, then you might want to use the Heart Potion (even if it is for no reason). The reason for this is because on the opposite side of the stairs, next to the chest, one of the pots contains a Fairy in it that you can catch in an empty bottle. Catching a Fairy will replenish six hearts just like the Heart Potion does.The only, and all that's needed, difference is that if you have the Fairy and run out of hearts, the Fiary will automatically revive you back to life.
Head up the stairs and you will encounter a mysterious old lady who will tell you that she has been waiting many years for your arrival and will also tell you that Zelda has headed to Faron Woods. She will then mark the location of Faron Woods on your map for you and tell you to place a beacon on the red X.
To place the beacon, open your map and move the pointer over the red X. Press the C button to place the beacon on it. You use the C button to pick up and drop the beacon. Make sure to zoom in if you really want to be accurate when placing beacons.
Leave through the eastern door.
Along the eastern path you'll encounter Bokoblins harassing a Goron. Slash the Bokoblins wherever they aren't defending.
Talk to the Goron, Gorko, and the Bird Statue will begin to glow.Here you can not only save, but travel to the sky!
Climb up the vines and you can push a log to make a shortcut back to the Sealed Grounds. Head through the open gate by Gorko and you can push the log to the short cliff wall.
Climb it to enter Faron Woods.

Augusta's connection with the San Francisco Giants will last another two years.
Augusta GreenJackets team owner Ripken Baseball Group and the Giants will announce a renewal of their player development contract this week. As the club's Single-A affiliate, the GreenJackets' rosters will continue to be filled with minor league players within the Giants' organization.
Since the affiliation began in 2005, several current Giants stars have gone through Augusta on their way to the big leagues, including Pablo Sandoval, Brian Wilson and Madison Bumgarner.
"We've always been happy with the Giants," said Jeff Eiseman, Ripken Baseball's vice president of sales and marketing. "They've given us what has to be the longest run of winning baseball in Augusta's history."
The GreenJackets have posted a winning record every year since Augusta lost its connection with the Boston Red Sox after the 2004 season and landed the partnership with the Giants. Five of those seven seasons also saw the team earn the best record in the South Atlantic League's Southern Division.
Eiseman said renewing the partnership was important to the GreenJackets' future.
"You want to be affiliated with an organization that cares about winning, cares about player development and cares about being involved and active in the community," he said. "We've got an awesome partner in the San Francisco Giants. I can't think of a better group to be with, and they want to be here."
Giants vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans visited Augusta last month and said the Giants were pleased with the affiliation but expressed displeasure at Lake Olmstead Stadium's deteriorating facilities.
"The reality is the facilities are probably the biggest downside for us right now," he said.
Minor improvements have been made at the 17-year-old stadium this season including new netting behind home plate.
"They know we're working at it and the effort is being made to change and to improve for them," Eiseman said. "As long as they know we're consistent in what we do I believe this can be stay a long-term marriage."
While improving the current facilities would help strengthen Augusta's relationship with the Giants, Evans hinted at a new stadium as a better long-term solution. Ripken Baseball has been pursuing a new home within the Augusta market for more than five years but such plans have yet to produce anything more than talk.
"We'll have to see. I never say never. We're exploring options in the area, and we'll see what shakes out when it's time," Eiseman said. "I don't think there's anything that's eminent right now. But I'm bullishly optimistic that something will shake out and we'll have some news on the topic before year's end."

By Richard McGregor, the FT's former Beijing bureau chief
The long-running case involving the four executives of mining giant, Rio-Tinto, arrested in China last year reached a dramatic climax in Shanghai today. According to an Australian diplomat given access to the trial, the executives had made "admissions" about receiving bribes in the process of their jobs, which involved marketing iron ore from Rio's mines in the state of Western Australia to Chinese steel mills.
Such admissions, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt. The lawyer who had been representing Stern Hu, the Chinese-born Australian Rio executive, did not appear in court. He was replaced by other, unnamed lawyers. The trial was "public", according to the Chinese government, but the media and Hu's family were not allowed in.
