Review for Seashare, Bainbridge Island, WA, USA
For years, Seashare has provided seafood to hungry people across western Washington. With the economy as it is, there is a huge wave of need. Many of the people coming to food banks are normal people who have lost their job or are struggling to just make ends meet. It is awesome that Seashare is there for them, distributing hundreds of thousands of pounds of amazing food, (vital protein!) year after year. Food Lifeline is proud to work with Seashare in distributing these valuable seafood donations.

Working with Jim and Mary Harmon for years, distributing their seafood donations to the 17 counties we serve in western Washington.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I think they are doing an amazing job with the resources available to them.

The annual Plaza Art Fair brings exhibitors to Kansas City from across the country — and even around the world.
But if you're looking for some home-grown creations this weekend, be sure to swing by and take a look at Rusty Leffel's photography.
The Mission Hills native, who will be displaying at the Plaza for the seventh time, produces striking black and white images from urban areas, saying he "loves using photography to capture the emotions you feel when you're in a city."
This year, he'll be displaying new work from trips to New York and Chicago.
And though much of his photography may focus on bigger towns, Leffel said he feels lucky to have the chance to display his work close to home.
"I must say, the Plaza is an outstanding art fair," Leffel said. "I displayed at the Brookside and Prairie Village fairs this year, too — it's wonderful to have such high quality events in your own backyard."
Leffel will be at booth 145, near the Pomona Courtyard outside of Eddie Bauer.

Use multiplexers. For mkv use mkvtoolnix / mkvmergegui and for mp4 use mymp4boxgui or yamb (mp4box GUIs).
Just be aware that there's no all-in-one that works for all three - you will, as Baldrick mentioned, have to use different programs for each of the three container formats. And note that MP4 only supports a limited few subtitle formats, like SRT and ttxt, so if you want to include other types of subtitles (like, say, anything with formatting, text styles, etc.), they'll have to be converted to SRT/ttxt/etc. first.If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?
thank you very much Baldrick, I tried mkvmergegui and it works like a charm.
And many thanks to you too Ai Haibara for the useful tip.
but guys i am still looking for somthing to work with .AVI as Sub2divx shows an error every time I use it.
and thanks in advance.
Try AVIAddXSubs. I also used (some years ago, though) to mux SRT subtitle streams into AVIs for use with my DVD player using VirtualDubMod; I think you can do it with AVI-Mux GUI, too.If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?
thanks Ai Haibara, I tried AVIAddXSubs and worked OK. but I didnt know how to add more than one subtitle to the movie, it seems that AVIAddXSubs can do it, it is just I couldnt fiuger it out.

Hi everyone,
I'm planning a trip from New York City to Yellowstone. On the road I'd like to visit parks lake Niagra Falls, Badlands NP, Yellowstone NP and visiting some cities like Washington DC, Chicago. On the internet I can not find such a route, but checking google maps this seems possible. Has anyone ever taken such a trip and does anyone suggest a route or have any ideas. I"m planning about 18 days including 3 days NY, 3 days Yellowstone.
Many thanks

Hi everyone,

I think you need much ore time for a trip seeing so many places- esp since you are bouncing around in all directions. And I assume this is a one-way trip - there's no way you could do round trip.
Do you need to start in NYC - makes more sense to start in DC, train to NYC and then rent a car and go from there. Otherwise from NYC you are either going straight south to DC and then back north to Niagara (and you will need your passport to get across the border to the Canadian side where all the good stuff is) then head west.
My parents did a similar trip when they retired - but they took 7 weeks to do a roundtrip from NY area.
And what time of year are you looking at? They stated in May - so it was June when they got to Yellowstone.
Report Abuse
I did Yellowstone (actually Boise) to NYC and back a couple of years ago, but we were gone for about 25 days. We did a circle route and did not return the same way we'd gone. Are the 18 days you're planning one way or round trip? We visited Yellowstone, Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Chicago (2 nights) and NYC (4 nights) on the way, and stayed in Ithaca 3 nights (visiting relatives), then visited Niagara Falls, Mackinac Island (2 nights), the Little Bighorn, and Yellowstone again on the way back.
Report Abuse
If you're doing a round trip you'll spend most of those 18 days on the road. And, if you allow 3 days in NYC plus 3 in Yellowstone you've only got 12 days travel time. Doable, but even for someone who likes to drive a lot, doesn't seem like fun.
If it'a 1-way, strongly suggest you drop either DC or Niagara Falls. If you drop DC you could take SR 17 across southern NY to I-390 into Rochester and then to the Falls. From there catch I-80 in Buffalo all the way to Chicago.
From Chicago I-94 to I-90 near LaCrosse and then 90 UD 14 near Sheridan, WY and into Yellowstone via Cody.
If 1 way skipping Niagara Falls, from DC west on I-70 to Indianapolis and then I-65 into Chicago where you follow the route from above.
Possible stopping points other than Chicago and Yellowstone could be Wheeling, WVA, Souix Falls, SD, Mt.Rushmore and the Black Hills in SD, maybe a sidetrip to the Little BigHorn Battlefield in MT, and Cody, WY.
A 1-way would still be a lot of driving, but fun. RT sounds more like work.

Get an old fashioned paper USA map (AAA makes some nice ones that have driving times/distances) to begin to visualize the trip. Looking at the whole country at one time as you consider a route that doesn't backtrack will be a big help. Also, make a priority list of which places matter the most to you and try to work them into this trip (and leave the other places for another trip).
We have done cross country driving trips and you must allow 5 driving days just to cross the country (without any stops for sightseeing other than the "look out the window and point at a sight") type of sightseeing.
Report Abuse
We've done CT to Yellowstone with a stop in Chicago for a wedding and back in 11 days. We didn't have enough time anywhere, but I would rather have seen Yellowstone than missed it and we got to spend two days there. We did stop in the Badlands for a quick look and a very quick visit to Mt Rushmore on the way out. I hope to go back to Yellowstone.
On the way back we drove through Grand Teton but did not stop. The trip home was pretty much drive, drive drive.
Report Abuse
A more immediate problem is the expense of renting a car in New York City -- you'll be paying a lot more than if you rent the car further west.
My suggestion:
1) Visit NYC, using mass transit
2) Bus to train from NYC to Washington DC
3) Visit DC, using mass transit
4) Ride Amtrak on the Capitol Limited, direct from DC to Chicago
5) Visit Chicago, using mass transit
6) Rent a car in Chicago, then drive to Yellowstone and back
7) Fly from Chicago to NYC
You may note that this schedule does not include Niagara. I will state ABSOLUTELY that Yellowstone is a more worthwhile stop than Niagara. Anyone who says otherwise is just plain WRONG.

I have eaten at the Glasshouse on a number of occasions and have always had a very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is lively, the decor is smart and service is usually very attentive. As you would expect from a high quality chef, the menu is interesting and the food of high quality. Altogether an excellent evening.

Courageous girl in dozens of hospital visits.
With several beaded necklaces hanging from her neck, you could be forgiven for thinking that two-year-old Jessica Holmes is just a little girl who loves her jewellery.
But each bead has a special significance as it represents a different treatment milestone the youngster has reached during her fight against leukaemia.
Jessica, who lives in Catterall, near Garstang, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a cancer of the white blood cells.
Her parents Mandy and Bob were devastated at the shock diagnosis as they initially thought Jessica had become ill with a cold.
Jessica is now undergoing intensive chemotherapy to beat the illness and has lost all her curly hair.
Jessica started having back pain and tests have revealed that the gruelling treatment Jessica is undergoing to fight the leukaemia has caused nine compressed fractures to her spine.
As a result, she is on morphine and painkillers and is now preparing to start her next block of treatment later this week. Like other children battling leukaemia, Jessica is taking part in the Beads of Courage journey.
For each element of treatment Jessica undergoes, she is given a different coloured bead. Every time she has a hospital visit, she receives a yellow bead and for each blood transfusion, she gets a red bead.
Mum Mandy, 40, said: "From the start to the finish of her leukaemia treatment, Jessica will receive different beads of courage from every time she has blood taken or given to when she is given different treatment or medication.
"Jessica is already on her fourth necklace and she will be having leukaemia treatment for another three years, so she will probably have hundreds of necklaces by that time."
Mandy, who has four other children, has her own business called Mandy's Home Help and husband Bob is an HGV driver. They have been struggling financially since Jessica's diagnosis.
However, they have been overwhelmed by the support from family, friends, strangers and businesses, who have been fundraising to help them out and they have set up the Jessica Holmes Family Fund.
Dad Bob said: "Because Jessica's treatment goes into her bones, as well as fighting the leukamia, it can cause damage too and this is what has caused the compressed fractures to her spine.
"But because Jessica is on morphine and painkillers, she is unaware and is her normal self and is happy and smiling.
"We want to thank everyone who has supported us by raising money including the RAF who recently raised more than £230 for us."

If a proposed law was in effect last year, limiting when local officials can declare new watering restrictions, Northeast Georgians would have been left high and dry.
"We'd have run out of water," Oconee County Commission Chairman Melvin Davis said.
House Bill 1281 passed the state Senate 39-13 Tuesday, and revisions the Senate made passed the House of Representatives 145-15 Wednesday.
The bill would require the state Environmental Protection Division to sign off on outdoor watering bans passed by local governments. Locals are now allowed to have more restrictive rules than the state.
"Water planning should not be done on a local level," said Sen. Bill Cowsert, R-Athens. "Our water systems are regional in nature, and we need a comprehensive plan to deal with it."
Communities along the same river or in the same watershed should not have differing rules, Cowsert said.
Athens-Clarke Mayor Heidi Davison, though, called the bill "the worst piece of legislation I've seen all year."
The Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority, a regional partnership between Athens-Clarke, Barrow, Jackson and Oconee counties, has "a well-thought-out and scientific drought management plan," Davison said.
If H.B. 1281 was in effect last September, when the Upper Oconee authority approved a total outdoor watering ban two weeks before EPD declared one for all of North Georgia, the region's water supply could have been threatened, said Davis, the authority's chairman. The authority at least would have had to buy a half-million-dollar aeration system to be able to treat the water at the bottom of the reservoir and plan to truck in water from other parts of the country, he said.

View document
At the drought's peak, officials estimated Bear Creek Reservoir had only enough water to last less than two months. By cutting water use more than 30 percent, the four counties extended their water supply into February before rain began to refill the reservoir and area rivers.
The bill creates more red tape that could delay local officials' response to future droughts, Davis said.
The Senate's revisions - allowing local water systems to add watering restrictions for seven days in an emergency, pending EPD approval, and exempting them from any fines or penalties for not conserving enough - should ease concerns, Cowsert said.
"I think everyone's going to be happy with this bill once they see the final version," he said.
But even with the amendments, the bill still takes away local control, Davison said.
"This still limits local government's ability to protect its water resources," she said. "I still have to go to the state to do what's best for the community."
The bill's backers also said it will protect the state's landscaping and plant-growing industries from unnecessarily harsh outdoor watering restrictions. While Cowsert said Athens-area officials have done a good job, state Rep. Bob Smith, R-Watkinsville, has criticized Athens-Clarke's total outdoor watering ban.
Cowsert, Smith, state Sen. Ralph Hudgens, R-Comer, and state Rep. Tommy Benton, R-Jefferson, voted in favor of the bill, sponsored in the House by state Rep. Terry England, R-Winder. State Reps. Keith Heard and Doug McKillip, D-Athens, voted against it.
The bill now awaits Gov. Sonny Perdue's signature. He has not said whether he will sign it, but generally supports local control, a spokesman said.

Q. One of our employees has been out on disability leave for almost 16 months. He says he wants to return to work, but only if we give him a supervisory position without a lot of strenuous activity. We have no such position available. We've offered him other positions, but he's refused them all. Can we legally terminate him?
A. This is a very individualized determination that depends on a number of facts:
- Was the employee a supervisor before he went on leave?
- Does he have a disability that is protected under the ADA?
- Why did he refuse the offered positions?
If the employee has a disability, you are required to provide a reasonable accommodation if he needs one to work for you. You need to get more information about the nature of his restrictions and whether they are caused by a disability. Then, you should talk to the employee to determine if there is a way to accommodate his restrictions. It may be that an existing job could be modified to be less strenuous, for example.
You aren't required to offer him the accommodation he wants, if others are available. You should consult with counsel to determine whether the other positions you have offered met your reasonable accommodation obligation.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WIAT) — Three people are dead after a Birmingham based plane crashed just outside of the Huntsville International Airport on Wednesday. The plane was departing from the airport at the time.
Two of the people on board that flight are confirmed to be from Birmingham. One of those two was pilot Bill Christopher. WIAT 42's Parrish Alleman spoke with Christopher's wife of 31 years, Lori. She says Bill had 35 years of experience with 0 accidents, and he loved flying. Bill was a scout master as well. The couple had two children together and Bill was the stepfather to Lori's oldest daughter. He was also an avid scuba diver who just last year took his daughter on her first gulf dive. His wife calls it a highlight in his life.
More information on the plane, WIAT 42 has confirmed with the coroner and the FAA registry that the plane was a 1983 Israel Aircraft Industries Westwind II. That model has 2 turbo-fan engines and seats 12 people. The original airworthiness date is November 30, 1983. The tail number, N793BG is registered to a company in Birmingham called Synfuels Holdings Finance LLC.
WIAT 42 will continue to bring you the latest on this developing story.

Lonely Vigil, 5.10a
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
4th Pitch- 30'- 5.8/ This pitch has quite a bit of notoriety on the internet. There is no summit anchor on Lighthouse Tower; therefore, each climber will have to down climb this precarious summit block to return to the top of pitch 3. The summit block is somewhat like Ancient Art's summit minus the rappel.
Head left from the belay. In contrast to what some say, you can protect via a few horizontal cracks as you climb the short vertical 5.8 eastern face of the summit block. As you near the top, you can get your hands and arms up over the top. It is important that you try to reach across the summit to the other edge versus weighting loose sandstone plates. Take your time on the down climb; placing your feet in the right spots, and it will go smoother than it looks. The first climber can leave the gear and thus be somewhat top roped on descent and therefore the 2nd will be top roped for the first portion of the his/her climb as well. By the time the 2nd takes out a TCU that protects fairly well on the down climb, he/she should have their hands on a good jug and feet on an intermediate ledge.

Casey, nooooo! Celebrity Big Brother babe back in loo kissing love-rat Lee Ryan
SOMEONE needs to save Casey Batchelor from herself, for the glamour babe appears to have fallen under the spell of king player Lee Ryan AGAIN.
Currently locked away in the Celebrity Big Brother house, it seems the on/off couple are very much back on... and are struggling to keep their flirtatious/grubby mitts to themselves.
Despite falling out following the Blue's singer ungentlemanly behaviour – in which he humiliated Casey by dumping her after a whirlwind 72 hours before moving onto Jasmine Waltz – shenanigans have gone from narky bickering to X-rated in mere hours.
Now the pair have been locked away in the secret bolt hole, it seems old feelings have flared up.
Perhaps out of true love. Perhaps out of boredom. Perhaps out of idiocy.
Nevertheless, 28-year-old Casey has let her guard down, allowing her soft spot for Lee to flourish.
The quarrelling duo made amends yesterday, with brunette Casey even offering to play matchmaker for Lee when they re-enter the main house tonight and reunite with Jasmine.
But as we know, a whole lotta drama can evolve in the CBB house within hours.
And now 'Lasey' seem to be back on track.
On Thursday evening, the house Lothario and Essex babe sneaked off to the toilet together. And yep, you guessed it. Lee turned the taps on again in a bid to drown out any, err, grunts or moans.
However, when the dad-of-two left the cubicle and wandered back into the bedroom, he spied Jasmine illuminated on the TV screen in their secret hideaway.
Gazing adoringly/dumbly at his former conquest, and upon discovering she wasn't gushing about him to BFF Luisa Zissman, he meandered back into the bathroom.
He and Casey then reappeared together, discussed the virtues of facewipes, then returned once more to the one space without a camera. And turned on the taps.
In an earlier chat, Lee was caught pecking Casey on the lips, before she asked: "How do I kiss? Show me how I kiss."
This time, 30-year-old Lee seemed a little more guarded, saying: "That means I've got to snog you. Do you not want to?"
Tune into Channel 5 tonight at 9pm for the live eviction.

Tiger girls avenge early loss to Falcons
Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta scored five points in the last 10.1 seconds to avenge an earlier 22-point defeat to Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City Friday in West Central Conference South girls' basketball action. The Tigers were defeated 67-45 in January and needed some late game heroics to pull this game off.
With the 63-61 victory, the Tigers improve to 12-3 in the conference and 18-4 overall.
"A-C-GC has a great inside duo in Liberty Slinden and Kayla Dallman (at 990 career points after the game)," said coach Ken Gagner. "We knew we were going to have trouble stopping them and both players had big games again. The difference was that we were hitting shots ourselves which allowed us to hang around."
The game started with the Falcons jumping to a 10-point lead at 22-12, but the Tigers stormed back to lead 27-26 at the half. The Tigers continued their surge to start the second half getting ahead by nine before the Falcons made their own run.
At the 4:42 mark, A-C-GC had completed their comeback and led 56-51. Behind two consecutive baskets by Nicole Gillespie, and scores by Alissa Melberg and Mary Rentz, the Tigers tied the score at 58 with just over a minute remaining.
Slinden would score next, and after making the free throw the Falcons led by three. Tiger Jenna Nelson then went coast to coast and drained a three, her second of the night, to tie the score.
"That was a huge play," said Gagner. "We had called a play during the time out and A-C-GC had changed their defense so Jenna just had to improvise. She's a pretty cool cucumber and it was great to see her hit the shot."
The Falcons immediately called a timeout with 1.4 seconds to go. From under their own basket, the Falcons went for the long pass to win the game but threw the ball out of bounds. The Tigers were then given the ball and senior post and captain, Megan Dierks, catching the inbounds pass from Rentz, buried a 14-footer at the buzzer to finish the game.
"We had nine girls take the floor tonight and all nine scored," Gagner said. "Obviously, you need every point in a game like this, and I was just very pleased that our bench players were prepared and ready to go when they came into the game.
"It was a total team effort and really a fun game for the fans to watch."
Three Tigers were in double digits. Dierks led the team with 15 points, including three treys. Nelson was a perfect 6-6 from the free-throw line and 2-2 from beyond the arch for 14 points. Rentz added 12 points.
Also scoring for the Tigers were Gillespie with nine, Melberg with four, Heather Gagner and Stefanie Strobel with three apiece, Kelly Ritter with two, and Kelsey Amundson with one.
Gagner dished out a team-high six assists, while Nelson recorded four.
Gagner also notched three steals.
Rentz and Strobel grabbed four rebounds apiece to lead the Tigers.

On June 15, 2010 the US Federal Government announced the release of the Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, a solicitation for written comments on the report, and an invitation for testimony at a public meeting to be held on July 15, 2010 in Washington D.C. Links to this announcement, the report, and instructions for submitting written comments or attending the public meeting are available at the Dietary Guidelines for Americans web site (www.DietaryGuidelines.gov).
Federal legislation requires that the most recent edition of the guidelines (last published in 2005) be reviewed, updated if necessary, and published every five years. The current report contains the recommendations of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) to the Secretaries of Agriculture and of Health and Human Services for use in updating the Guidelines.
In the introduction, the 2010 DGAC report states that two-thirds of the American public is overweight or obese. It goes on to say that "Americans are making dietary choices in a highly obesogenic environment and at a time of burgeoning diet-related chronic diseases affecting people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic levels. The DGAC considers the obesity epidemic to be the single greatest threat to public health in this century."
The introduction goes on to discuss the role of diet and physical activity in attenuating the risk of chronic diseases, as well as identifying population groups of particular concern. These include: children, pregnant and lactating women, and older adults.
Dr. Cordain was asked to comment on the report, and stated "I really don't see how these 'new' recommendations vary substantially from prior USDA Food Guidelines." Cordain states that the recommendations to consume whole grains and skim milk "obviously vary from the human ancestral diet, and upon closer scrutiny, these two foods are not necessarily healthful."
Dr. Cordain's cites evidence from his book The Paleo Diet, as well as his and other published research, that whole grain products frequently may contribute to an elevated glycemic load because of the quantity of total grains the USDA recommends (8 ounces per day, equivalent to 8 slices of bread). Wheat in particular is problematic because it contains the storage protein gliadin, shown to increase intestinal permeability in celiac patients as well as in healthy persons.
Cordain notes that increased intestinal permeability promotes passage of a gut borne bacterial substance called lipopolysachharide into the bloodstream, producing a low-level chronic state of inflammation called endotoxemia (see Maelán Fontes' article on Type 2 Diabetes and Endotoxemia). Endotoxemia likely underlies many chronic disease states, particularly cardiovascular disease and a number of autoimmune diseases, according to Cordain.
Dr. Cordain goes on to say that, "In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that 1 in 100 people or about 3 million US citizens have celiac disease. It is irresponsible to make across-the-board dietary recommendations to the entire population given the high incidence of celiac disease."
Cordain notes that while skim milk is promoted by the USDA because it contains much lower concentrations of saturated fat, it has been shown to be highly insulinotropic – "meaning that it raises blood insulin concentrations, similar to eating candy or a chocolate chip cookie." Dr. Cordain states that, "Work from our laboratory substantiated this effect for both skim and whole milk. In a recent study of young boys, they became insulin resistant after seven days on a high milk diet, compared to seven days on a high meat diet. This study has not been replicated in adults, but there is no reason to believe that the response would vary." Consumption of milk elevates a hormone called IGF-1 – which increases growth in children, resulting in an increased adult stature. However, says Cordain, "it also increases the risk for breast, colon and most particularly prostate cancer."
The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is accepting written comments on the report until July 15, 2010. The public meeting to solicit oral comments on the report will be held on July 8, 2010, starting at 9:00 am EDT. Details are available at the Dietary Guidelines for Americans web site (www.DietaryGuidelines.gov).

Authors Notes: Well everyone here is the final chapter! I hope you enjoyed this story, I know it was not very long, but I really just wanted to delve into their feelings a bit since I felt the Manga and Anime did a poor job of that. Was it fluffy enough? I hope so and I also hope that you review; even if this story is two years old when you read it please review!
I want to thank my reviews so far and wouldn't you know it they followed me here from another fandom, I love you guys! Anyway enough of my rambling you want to read the end right? Well here you go!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl or any merchandise related to it. However, I do own this story, yay for me! Clap, Clap, Clap!
The sun was starting to sneak its way into the bedroom where the two girls slept. Both girls still soundly asleep in the comfort of each other's grasp, not caring what the outside world was doing just wanting to sleep with their love a little longer; however, the alarm clock did not feel like letting the two girls sleep in peace…
The alarm clock sounded as the time hit eight o'clock exactly. Tomari was the first to react by falling out of the bed at the sudden deafening noise.
"Hazumu get up, it's eight already!" Tomari shouted franticly as she swiftly shut off the evil sounding device. "Oh this is bad they are probably waiting outside for us." Tomari said as she started putting on her uniform.
"No I called them all last night and told them that we didn't know if you could go to school today, so to just go on ahead." Hazumu said cheerfully as she watched her love scamper around the room.
"Wait you told them I was sick? And that we were staying at your house, when they know that your parents are gone?" Tomari asked mortified at what her lover had just done to her, she would never live down the teasing Ayuki would give.
"Yeah, is that a problem?" The busty girl asked in confusion, not entirely sure why Tomari would be upset by this; if the blonde was indeed still sick it would be better for them to get to school and let the teachers know right?
"Oh, never mind… What are you doing get dressed!" The tsundere shouted noticing that Hazumu still had not left the comfort of the bed.
"Oh, right I forgot." Hazumu giggled as she got up and began to get dressed too.
"Alright I will go make a quick breakfast, you need to hurry!" Tomari said as she rushed for the kitchen, nearly tripping on something in the hallway. Her eyes widened in shock as she walked into the kitchen, she knew Hazumu did not know how to cook well, but this was just ridiculous.
"How did she even get that stuck on the ceiling?" Tomari wondered as she looked up. "Ack this is not the time for that we have to hurry!" She mentally scolded herself as she got busy with making toast.
"Tomari-chan it's almost time to go!" Hazumu called out as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Idiot it IS time to go and how could you destroy this kitchen to such a degree?" Tomari said as she quickly jellied the toast. "Never mind let's just go!" The tsundere sighed loudly as she stuffed a piece of toast in her girlfriend's mouth when she tried to give a response.
The two practically ran all the way to the school, only skidding in at the last second.
"Made it, but just barely… Hazumu if you weren't so slow…" Tomari panted quietly as they walked into the classroom.
"Tomari-chan is mean!" Hazumu said quietly as they each took their seats, both looked around the room at their other friends to see they all had mischievous grins. "Everyone looks happy today!" Hazumu thought with a smile as the class started.
"Kill me now, just kill me now…" Tomari thought tiredly still feeling the slight after effects of her fever.
It was lunchtime and Hazumu had insisted that their group eat lunch on the roof today, saying it would be better for Tomari to be out in the sun while she ate.
"So you two got pretty close yesterday didn't you?" Ayuki smiled as she poked Tomari in the side causing the blonde to groan.
"We didn't do anything like that…" Tomari said grumpily, she had been expecting this, but she was hoping it wouldn't happen anyway.
"I don't mean anything dirty, you two just look closer and happier then you have the past few days is all." Ayuki said with a smile, as she watched her close friend blush. "And Hazumu is talking with Yasuna and you haven't made one upset facial expression, so I can only assume you two worked it out." The Meganekko confirmed as she took a sip of her juice.
"Yeah it is all cool with us now; I finally know she wants me and only me." Tomari sighed happily, as she watched Yasuna and Hazumu talk about their favorite TV show, although she was mainly looking at Hazumu.
"It must be because you two shared a bath." Ayuki said while putting a finger too her chin in thought.
"WHAT THE… HOW DO YOU KNOW…?" Tomari shouted jumping up, but still feeling the lingering after effects of her fever, that quick movement made Tomari's mind go blank for a few seconds. Lucky for her Hazumu was pretty quick when she needed to be.
"Calm down Tomari-chan, I knew I should have made sure you were a hundred percent better before we left today." Hazumu said angrily, mad at herself for her own carelessness.
"I heard that Asuta was texting some girl, he is even eating lunch with her!" Yasuna said when she noticed them lacking the presence of the male of the group.
"Yeah Asuta has been all over her lately, it's funny he keeps asking me for advice even though I haven't been a girl that long." Hazumu said with a giggle as she rubbed Tomari's aching temples.
"How did she know…? HOW!" Tomari was screaming in her mind as the groups idle chatter drowned out into background noise. Ayuki on the other hand could see the war raging in her friends mind and could not help but smile, even if he told her not to hack the satellites so much she just had to do it.
"Oh Ayuki-chan I heard from sensei that you are working with him now, what do you do?" Hazumu asked as the other two girls looked at Ayuki just in time to see her devious smile.
"It must be something wonderful for her to smile like that." Yasuna thought happily.
"Oh she must like it a lot, I wonder what it is?" Hazumu thought, as more questions came to her mind.
"Oh unholy hell; she is dissecting people isn't she!" Tomari thought mortified.
"It is just helping him with a few odd tasks, since Sora sensei is stuck on earth I thought it would be good that he has someone who 'knows the ropes' to help him." Ayuki said brushing off the question, only to receive a critical stare from Tomari. "Oh, no I think Tomari needs a hug!" Ayuki said teasingly knowing Hazumu would instantly scoop up the shorter girl into a hug, which she did.
"Ack Hazumu can't breathe!" Tomari struggled to say through the bear choking grip her love had on her, causing the others to chuckle.
The rest of the day seemed to go on with a normal flow; Asuta introduced his new would be girlfriend to the others and Tomari was attacked by the track team asking if the rumors were true that her and the former boy were dating.
Their last class of the day was English with Namiko sensei, which was a pretty carefree class given the fact of who the teacher was.
"I Namiko Tsuki, boyfriend less for 35 years…has finally been asked out on her first date this evening! So class is over so I can get ready…" Namiko said in flawed English with a Japanese accent. She was lost in her daydream so much that she tripped and fell straight out the classroom window, landing on the ground with a dull thud.
"We need to start closing those…" Tomari thought dryly as she started to pack up her books. "So who do you think finally asked her out?" The tsundere asked once the group was packed and ready to go.
"It was Sora sensei; he said he finally had enough data from you two that he thinks he can be in a relationship." Ayuki said as the foursome left the school. "Given what I saw on Christmas though, he is already developing feelings for her." Ayuki thought with a smile.
"Puu~!" Jan Pu yelled as she tackled Hazumu out of nowhere in a flying hug knocking her to the ground.
"Jan Pu-chan what are you doing here?" Hazumu asked as she hugged the space ship or better known as her 'little sister'.
"They gave me my own artificial body; I am going to transfer to this school to be with Onee-nii-sama!" Jan Pu said happily, as she got up and helped her 'older sister' up as well. "All I have to do is go and sign up with the principle… Do you know where I am supposed to go; I am kid of lost…" The alien asked sheepishly.
"We will take her you two go ahead." Yasuna said as her and Ayuki began walking back to the school with Jan Pu.
"Have a good time you to love birds." Ayuki giggled as they turned the corner and were lost form sight.
The two walked in silence, not really sure what to say to one another. It was Hazumu who was first to break the silence and tension in the air.
"A lot has happened since Christmas huh?" Hazumu asked with a smile as she looked over at Tomari.
"Yeah I guess…" Tomari said as she put her arms behind her head. "Namiko sensei and Sora sensei are going out, the alien spaceship is now going to our school, Asuta has a girlfriend and me…" Tomari stopped her inner monologue to look at the girl that held her affections. "Well as long as I have you no matter what happens, it is all okay." Tomari said softly as she wrapped her arms around the younger girl's waist, still not used to being all mushy like this.
"Tomari-chan… you are so beautiful…" Hazumu said just as softly, looking deep into the tsundere's eyes.
"You still have to clean the kitchen when you get home." Tomari said with a devious grin.
"Ah you ruined the atmosphere, which was…" Hazumu started to whine, but Tomari gently kissing her on the lips quelled any other thoughts she might have had.
"But I will help…" Tomari whispered softly as the two tightened the hug.
"I love you, more than anything in this world…" Hazumu whispered breathily.
"I love you too…" Tomari could just barely say before Hazumu pulled her in for another passionate kiss. It was going to be hard at times, with everything changing, but Tomari knew that their love would last forever.
"To think she is all mine… I love her…" Both thought simultaneously, as they leaned back in for another kiss…
Ending Notes: And there you have it, I was happy to have you along for the ride! If you have any questions about the choices I made, or you have not read the manga and some of that stuff seemed new to you just PM me! Well back to my Lucky Star stories, I have a few other Anime I am considering as well… Keep on the look out!

UBS Likes Iraqi Bonds, but Rates Israeli Stocks Neutral
Underperforming emerging markets include Egypt, Hungary, Poland, Tunis, India and Ukraine
UBS is something other than thrilled with the Israeli stock market at present. The Switzerland-based investment bank today issued a report rating it Neutral.
Generally speaking, stocks and bonds of emerging markets started 2006 on the right foot, the investment bank says. There have been negative developments in several countries on the list, but the developments are manageable, say the analysts.
They reserve their outperform investment ratings for bonds of Brazil, Mexico, Russia and - wait for it - Iraq, noting the results of elections there and the installation of a new regime. Iraq is in the process of reorganizing its debt, as part of which it is issuing new bonds.
The new bonds shot up in their first days of trade but the analysts feel there is room for more gains, for two reasons. One is that despite the risk, Iraq's debt is well managed. The other is the spreads.
The analysts believe these spreads will be narrowing even more than Argentina's and possibly even more than Nigeria's, considering that Iraq gets (much) more credit than these countries, which should attract institutional investors.
The upshot is that UBS began covering Iraq with an outperform rating.
Underperformers in UBS' book include Egypt, Hungary, Poland, Tunis, India and Ukraine.
Neutrals include Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Indonesia, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Romania, South Africa, Turkey and Venezuela.
UBS didn't even mention Israel's bond market.
The investment bank notes the powerful performance of stock markets in emerging during the first days of 2006, but also notes the downtick with oil prices soared anew. The Asian markets were the main casualties. Yet as of yesterday, the average returns of these markets was 6.9%.
Korean stocks remain attractive, UBS says, but they're starting to lose their allure after their mad race in 2005. The analysts repeated an outperform rating for Korea, but still think investors should lower its weight in their portfolios.
Among Asian markets UBS' favorite is Thailand, and Brazil tops all.

Trader Joe's and Target, two of my favorite shopping destinations, are voluntarily recalling 10 hummus and dip products due to fears of Listeria monocytogenes contamination. According to the manufacturer, no one has gotten sick, but out of an abundance of caution, you should not eat or serve any affected brands to your family.
A routine health inspection revealed a possible threat of contamination, which is why this measure was put in place.
You can visit the prepared foods manufacturer, Hot Mama's Foods, website to see a full list of the nearly 15,000 pounds of hummus and dips that are subject to the recall. Each brand is listed along with its UPC code, use-by date and the region in which the particular dip was sold. The use-by dates range from April to June, and some products were shipped nationally.
Two products on the recall list, Trader Joe's Edamame hummus and Target Archer Farms traditional hummus, often find its way into our fridge, so I'm thrilled that they're being recalled, even if no one has gotten sick.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeria can cause serious health problems in young children, pregnant women, the elderly and in people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms of listeria infection include diarrhea, nausea, fever and abdominal pain. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages or stillbirths among the expecting set.
If you have any of the affected hummus in your refrigerator, discard it. Or, return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. If you have any questions about the recall, contact Texas based Hot Mama's at (877) 550-0694.
What is your reaction to hearing about the fact that two popular stores must recall hummus due to fears of contamination? Share below in the comments section!

Nothing raises more fear or hopes in a business than change in management. The questions are always the same, will the new CEO shift the company's direction? Does the change mean the business was not doing well before? Can overall performance improve? How will the market and shareholders react to the news? What about prospect investors? The truth is that there is no certain answer to the many inquiries a change in management raises. However, an assessment can be made based on the firm's previous performance and new management's discourse. That is exactly what it will be looked upon throughout this analysis that concerns National Oilwell Varco (NOV). So far, gurus have shown great confidence on the company and completed important purchases throughout the last quarter of 2013.
Announced and Smooth Transition
Last March 25, National Oilwell Varco announced that Clay C. Williams has been appointed President and CEO of the company effective immediately. Mr. Williams will be taking over Merrill A. Miller Jr.'s post, who previously announced would step down as part of the planned spin-off of the distribution business.
Mr. Miller said: "I elected to step down early as Chief Executive Officer in order to smooth the transition." While Mr. Williams highlighted the exiting CEO stating that "I look forward to building upon the traditions of diligence and excellence that have been created here." Hence, no significant changes should be expected in the company's business model for the short term. Moreover, the market reacted positively to the news as stock price rose almost $3.
Previously, National Oilwell Varco received the Samsung-Q Gold Mark Certificate, the highest quality award that Samsung gives to its suppliers. Furthermore, the firm has inaugurated a state-of-the-art drilling simulator at the University of Texas at Austin. The award and simulator are a confirmation of the smooth transition planned by management, one in which the business model stood firmly on its rails.
Steady Performance
Zacks has confirmed a "Neutral" recommendation for National Oilwell Varco, on the grounds that sees no obvious catalyst to significantly push the stock price higher. This is not to be taken as if the firm is not expected to growth. On the contrary, growth is expected at moderate levels due to a healthy backlog, strength in international operations, and recent Robbins & Myers acquisition. Most importantly, the spin-off of the distribution business will have a positive impact on overall performance.
Good news to National Oilwell Varco, however, is curbed by highly competitive markets and expected weak pricing. Additional difficulties are seen on declining prices for new equipment packages, greater exposure to the potentially weaker natural gas market through the acquisition of Grant Prideco, and high reliance on its ability to develop and acquire essential products and technologies. Moreover, the most important downside to an investment in the firm is daily volatility.
Currently trading at 14.3 times its trailing earnings, National Oilwell Varco's stock carries a 39% discount to the industry average. While financial indicators remain strong during the last three years, debt has recently climbed to high levels due to acquisitions. Additionally, operating margin has declined for the third year in a row and net income sunk below the industry's average.
While Frank Sands (Trades, Portfolio) and Warren Buffett did in fact increase their positions during 2013, they did so very carefully, taking advantage of the volatility of stock price. Moreover, the discount earlier mentioned is an evidence of the risk a prospect investment takes when purchasing the stock. Hence, the risks associated with this stock make it not suitable for a prospective investor thinking on a long-term basis, even when management changes represent a continuity of the business model.
Disclosure: Vanina Egea holds no position in any of the mentioned stocks.

Nicky Morgan has moved on three of Michael Gove's key policy advisers despite telling MPs she was committed to her predecessor's controversial reforms.
Mrs Morgan's promotion to education secretary last week was the most surprising move in a wide ranging reshuffle ordered by David Cameron, the Prime Minister.
Three of Mr Gove's policy advisers have resigned – Henry Cook, Beth Armstrong and Jamie Martin - raising fears among some Conservatives that Mrs Morgan wants to slow the pace of Mr Gove's educational reforms.
All of the advisers will be entitled to pay-offs of between three and six months' pay, depending on their length of service. Replacements will be announced in due course.
There were reports that the sackings were not carried out personally by Mrs Morgan but by Chris Wormald, the department's top civil servant.
It also came as Mrs Morgan told MPs in her first appearance at the dispatch box paid tribute to the reforming work of Mr Gove.
She said on Tuesday: "Let me be absolutely clear that I share with him total commitment to creating an education system that enables young people, regardless of their background, to unlock every ounce of their potential.
"I believe he will be remembered as one of the great reforming secretaries of state for education."

Experts on topics currently in the news
Using social media for job searches
Finding a job might appear to be different today than it was five years ago, thanks to the growth of social networking. But can social networking really help you find a job? Alexandra Anderson, associate director of career services at Southwestern University, is available to discuss topics such as the following:
How has job hunting changed over the past five years?
Fundamentally, I think the job search is not so different bt just in-person or phone, but now also through numerous social media. While technology facilitates the ease and speed with which employers can advertise positions and candidates can respond, this ease leads to a deluge of applications which are costly (in terms of time) for employers to sort through and challenge candidates to stand out from the competition. Making a personal connection outside of this technology tidal wave is essential.
What role do social media play in job-hunting today?
Social media help us maintain our "rolodex" of contacts in one convenient place. They also provide speedy access to contacts, increasing the size and interconnectedness of our web of contacts in comparison to what people probably used to manage. Social media are still just tools, though, to help us make and keep connections. Most people won't accept friend requests on Facebook or connection requests on LinkedIn from people they haven't actually met in person and interacted with. Consequently, the old-school, in-person networking process is still alive and well. That being said, social media sites like Facebook can help you find old friends who might now have relevant advice or resources to help you with your job search. LinkedIn can help you easily identify individuals working for a particular employer, research career paths (e.g. a veteran can search for his/her military job title and find other veterans' profiles and see what their career progression after the military has been), make direct contact without an intermediate introduction to an alumnus of your university who might be more inclined to help you and even get you noticed by a recruiter who did a keyword search and found your profile/resume rather than having to weed through resumes from an advertised position.
Are job posting sites such as Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com effective?
It never hurts to look, especially just to get ideas or to find example descriptions of positions to which you would want to pitch your resume. However, because these sites require employers to pay a fee to post, they are naturally limited to the positions where a) employers can afford to post and b) it makes financial sense to invest the money in a posting. These factors mean that many government and non-profit jobs are absent from these sites because those employers may not want to invest their limited resources to pay for postings. Also, jobs or specific organizations that are in high demand are often absent because those employers don't need to pay to advertise – they are inundated with unsolicited applications as it is. Positions with high turnover (which a candidate might rightly be wary of) might also be more likely to recruit using these sites, since they need to drum up business. Nonetheless, I always recommend looking at the sites – they're free, after all – but limiting the amount of time you spend on them to about 5-10 percent of your total efforts.
Much more effective use of the Internet is using a search engine to research what employers exist in a particular area (e.g. "Austin non-profits") and then looking up those individual employers directly. Employers are most likely to advertise postings on their own websites, if they advertise at all. Also, look for targeted third-party sites like professional organizations which often have job posting sections.

Counter-insurgency offensive launched in Kunduz
Counter-insurgency offensive launched in Kunduz
KUNDUZ CITY (PAN): A new counterinsurgency operation, codenamed Omaid (Hope), has been launched to drive insurgents from northern Kunduz province, a military official said on Saturday.
"The target is to flush out Taliban from areas where they have recently intensified their activities," the 209th Shaheen Military Corps commander, Lt. Gen. Zalmay Wesa, told a meeting of Afghan and foreign soldiers.
The meeting was aimed at increasing cooperation between local and international troops during operations against insurgents.
"According to our information, the Taliban have expanded activities in parts of Kunduz and Baghlan provinces, so we decided to launch a major operation," Wesa said.
The offensive was currently underway in Dasht-i-Archi, Imam Sahib and Chardara districts of Kunduz and Burka town of neighbouring Balkh province, he said. The air and ground offensive could last four months, he suggested.
Residents of Chardara district recently complained that anti-government fighters had restarted activities, disturbing ordinary people.
Governor Mohammad Anwar Jagdalak, who also attended the meeting, said work on some projects would continue side by side with the operation.
The schemes included bridges, school buildings and supply of clean drinking water, he said. Jagdalak accused the central government of ignoring his demand for reconstruction and development projects.
Meanwhile, three militants were killed after they attacked a police checkpoint in the Gor Tepa area of the province, an official said.

It only took six years, but I finally put together the beginnings of an events page for this website using Meetup.com. To see those listings go to the event page or check out sidebar on the right. You can also sign up for the Root Simple Meetup. Right now the Root Simple meetup will list events we're speaking at, workshops we're teaching and other goings on we find interesting. Most of the events will take place in the Southern California area.
To those of you outside of SoCal, I can't say enough good things about the Meetup interface. Unlike Facebook, which seems to exist to get us all to work for free harvesting marketing data, Meetup is about fostering face to face meetings.
Hope to meet many of you in person soon!

Question about port forwarding for a private wow server
I've got a friend that approached me earlier today with the idea of running his own private wow server. While I know this is feasible, though maybe not with the hardware he is running, we are at a disagreement on whether or not it is possible for him to forward ports specifically for his computer and leave the rest of his household electronics unaffected by the security lapse inherent in doing so. Is it possible to forward ports for certain computers on a network and keep them closed for others?

Yes, When you forward a port in a router you have to specify the IP address of the PC that the port is forward to. This doesn't mean that once someone gets in through the WoW server port they cant try to access other things.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Someone at Mercedes-Benz has grown a wild hair. How else can you explain the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350? It's fun. It's serious. For the first time in three generations, here is a roadster that comes remarkably close to being called — dare we say it? — a driver's car.How so? Starting with the basics, Mercedes has employed the very same 3.5-liter V-6 you'll find in the C350 and ML. In this application, the aluminum mill gains an encouraging growl from those dual exhaust pipes and 34 extra ponies, now up to 302 horsepower. That's 53 horsepower less than the last generation's V-8-powered AMG model.The SLK applies that newfound power generously through the seven-speed transmission, reaching 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.6 seconds at 102.9 mph. With its 18-inch wheels shod with Continental ContiSportContact 5 tires, the roadster makes good use of its 13.5-inch front and 11.8-inch rear rotors, coming to a halt from 60 mph in an impressive 109 feet. Three stopping tests returned a 2-foot spread from the best distance, indicating that the ventilated discs (front rotors are drilled, too) work well. The SLK goes robustly and stops well, but handling is our primary concern. Around our figure eight, the roadster posted a 26.1-second lap time, three-tenths slower than the naturally aspirated Z4's 25.8-second lap — and far behind any Boxster. On the skidpad, SLK generates a respectable 0.89 average g, which again falls short of its German rivals.But don't let these test results belittle the SLK, because the driving pleasure it delivers is the best Mercedes has offered in a modern roadster yet. The combination of accurate steering (with one major hitch we'll address later) and a low polar movement give the SLK a newfound sense of agility. Turn-in is taut and the chassis never gives the impression that it's hiding something, lending the SLK a comfortable eagerness on curvy roads.But we must offer two caveats for limit driving. Two staffers experienced an odd and repeatable glitch in the variable ratio steering: In manual mode, a bit of aggressive cornering and a few gear changes would instantly and dramatically increase the weight in the steering to the point where it felt the pump had overheated. The steering would revert to normal after a gear change. On that note, the seven-speed transmission, when left in automatic mode, had a nasty habit of downshifting on turn-in, which would add an unwanted extra bit of rotation. Some on staff also found it reluctant to downshift when asked. "I was hitting the paddle repeatedly and didn't get a downshift until I toed the kickdown switch," said Frank Markus Our biggest disappointment, however, lies in the styling. The SLS-inspired nose seems to have been grafted on without the SLK's approval; it's too forced. Nor does its harsh, flat front integrate cleanly into the miniaturized SL cues on its flanks. One evaluator labeled it an "ungainly aesthetic mess, at least partially created by trying to package the retractable hardtop."The cabin is a far more welcome place to be. "Great red accents inside," noted Markus. Top operation is smooth, and a handy button opens and shuts all four windows. Unfortunately, the cabin is unexpectedly noisy at freeway speeds. I noticed lots of wind noise coming from the seatbelt guide over my left shoulder at 75 mph. With the roof up, interior noise settles to levels that are more acceptable. And though hopelessly titled, Magic Sky Control, which polarizes the sunroof at the push of a button, was the recipient of unanimous praise from our office.It has its share of faults — things you likely wouldn't notice on a calm daily drive, assuming you don't mind the exterior — most of which could be solved in a mid-cycle refresh. In total, Mercedes has made a large and very serious step towards making the SLK a serious roadster.

We had a good counselor.
It was hard, I did it, I'm never doing that again. I can't imagine going through that for anyone else, with anyone else, again.
Expensive as well, none covered by insurance. Now, maybe we can put a new roof on the house.
I made it very clear to my H that he could shape to hell up or ship to hell out, without much in between. I was actually quite shocked that he chose the former and we are still together, closer than ever 8 years later.

There's a lot I do not know about the alleged infractions committed by the corner of Georges St. Pierre. While I was at the event and I saw Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer enter the cage to admonish St. Pierre's corner and I've since seen footage of Phil Nurse rubbing St. Pierre's chest and back between rounds, I have no way of determining if and or how much Vaseline was applied to the current UFC welterweight champion's body.
You can test for drugs of abuse for a fight but it's pretty hard to test for body lubricants. Whether or not St. Pierre had Vaseline on his body and whether it gave him a competitive advantage if he did is only something that St. Pierre and Penn can answer definitively. However, where there is smoke there's fire and during his post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White confirmed that there were some issues that a rose during the course of the fight.
Unlike White, I am not so quick to dismiss the the notion that even if St. Pierre was lubed up that it didn't make a difference in the fight. I'm not arguing that St. Pierre isn't the better fighter and fought the better fight but I don't buy that if Vaseline was applied to the body that it didn't make a difference. Penn spent a great deal of time on his back during the fight and utilized a high guard on multiple occasions. I'm the furthest thing from a professional fighter but I have spent an ample amount of time rolling and I can say with firsthand knowledge that if a bare shirted opponent's back is slippery, it does make it a little more difficult to catch them in a triangle.
Would Penn have won if St. Pierre is guilty of the alleged infraction? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean that this incident should be swept under the rug. The fact that NSAC instructed St. Pierre's corner to stop and that the alleged behavior reportedly continued is alarming. If the presiding athletic body tells a corner to stop doing something, the corner shouldn't try and defy the commission. A repeat offense committed by a corner should result in a penalty of some kind because if people aren't willing to abide by the commission's rulings we then have what amounts to anarchy.
Another argument that I don't buy is that St. Pierre is somehow not responsible for the actions of his corner. I don't think for a second that he knowingly cheated and I believe it's very possible that his corner applied Vaseline without his consent or willing involvement. However, if a fighter uses a supplement that contains steroids is it not the position of the commission that he's still guilty whether he knowingly consumed the performance enhancing drugs because of the fact that he still had a competitive advantage? If St. Pierre's corner applied Vaseline to his body then he still potentially had an illegal competitive advantage regardless of whether the application was voluntary or involuntary.
I just can't buy into a fighter being able to absolve himself totally from the actions of his corner. Phil Nurse was St. Pierre's designated corner and not some random inspector assigned by the commission before the fight. He was a part of St. Pierre's team and his actions are representative of the entire camp. St. Pierre has complete and total control over who corners him and he must take responsible for their actions. If Nurse applied lubrication of any kind to the body of St. Pierre then his days of cornering fighters should come to a close. Furthermore, if Nurse committed a second offense during the fight after being admonished by the commission then St. Pierre should have been penalized a point during the fight. What's done is done and it's impossible to go back in time and take away a point but to openly defy the commission in public in such a manner should warrant a severe reprimand.
I've read the side of St. Pierre's corner regarding the allegiations and frankly I'm not impressed. In an interview with MMA Weekly, Greg Jackson claims that it was an honest mistake and attributed to a witch doctor ritual.
"So in between rounds, (Steven Friend) had this little drill that you do – and Phil Nurse is the one who knows how to do it – he showed Phil, and this is what Georges wanted, so we did that," Jackson is quoted as telling MMA Weekly. "But this is why we were doing it. He rubbed your back and tapped your chest; I don't know exactly how it works. But anyways, what that's supposed to do is get your energy in line, or motivated or whatever. So in between rounds, we had Phil Nurse do that."
In the same article, Jackson acknowledged the possibility that Nurse might have still had some residue left on his hands as he was also the same corner in charge of applying Vaseline to St. Pierre's eyebrows (an acceptable practice in fighting so long as the application is not deemed to be excessive). I can buy that it's an innocent mistake but it still potentially may have given St. Pierre an illegal competitive advantage. It was unnecessary and it only served to take away from what otherwise was a brilliant victory for St. Pierre. On that note, I think it's time for all of these crazy rituals performed by members of the Jackson camp to end. I have a ton of respect for Jackson and his fighters but the nipple tweaking and witch doctor rituals only serve to take away from all of the great things that the camp has accomplished inside the cage.

The Wines and Spirits Review – 1879
Some of our readers have developed a taste for the history of the Cognac industry and trade. I was a little surprised at first, but then I realized that quite a few of our friends are in business and a fair share of them is in the global trade arena. Well, Cognac has indeed been a global product from the very early times and the Cognac region has had a sophisticate trader crowd for centuries, shipping the Liquor of Angels around the globe.
That is why I was so pleased when a friend emailed me scans of a collection of La Revue des Vins et Liqueurs pour l'Exportation dating back to 1879, a 134 years ago. I's a breathtaking historic document for the history of Cognac, full with interesting information.
For instance: reports on the Cognac trade were routinely published in bi-lingual (French-English) form (in 1879!). It's nice to read about the production of houses which are still in business, some which were already big, like Martell and Hennessy , some smaller like Delamain or Meukow; in fact, from the dispatches one can infer how the trade was conducted, particularly the weight of the big houses in the formation of prices. And then, the first-hand information of the progress of phylloxera, the worst plague ever for the French vines.
For all of you interested in the history, here is a first exclusive excerpt of the Revue des Vins et Liqueurs. I have respected the orthography of the time.
Table of Contents
General view of the markets
The year 1878 has been much better for the brandies than for the wines. If the exportation of brandies in case, contrary to what was thought, has decreased instead of increased, the shipments of Cognacs in cask have shown a notable augmentation.
In fact during last year 182,341 hl were shipped compared with 153,597 hl in 1877, or 40,115,020 worth instead of 32,857.824 fes worth. Out of the surplus of 29,000 hl 22,000 hl went by way of England. The consumption of the United States is stationary, and that of Algeria has increased 7,400 hl in such a way that the year 1879 for this destination is better than that of the year 1876. For the brandies in case the diminutions affect the trade with Great Britain (12,000 licetol. at least). Elsewhere there is progress. It is without doubt to the importance of the English stocks that we must attributs this regrettable diminution.
As to the molasses spirits (rum and tafia) they have followed the general movement of the Cognacs, that is to say to those of 1876. In 1876 1,160,758 litres had been exported,and in 1877 only 598.990 litres. For the year 1878 there is a slight progress of 10,000 litres.
The Brandies
The exportation trade in Cognac seems in appearance to have slightly progressed during the month of December 1378, for the totals of brandy shipments in cask, and more especially in bottles, are higher than those of November.
But if we take a more solid basis of comparison, that is to say the result of the month of December 1877, it is easy to see that the last month of the year 1878 bas not been fortunate for the Cognac merchants. In fact a diminution may be observed of 4,234 hl. in the shipments of brandies in cask that is to say 1,190 hl. are lacking in the English importations, 300 hl. in those of Algeria, and the rest on those of the other countries of the world.
The brandies in case have been still more badly received by British customers who only accepted 2,655 hl. instead of 3.823 hl. in November 1878, and of 3,130 hl., as in December 1877. Moreover it is precisely these forward stocks of November which have stopped the importation movement of December, ordinarily higher than those of the preceding month. With regard to the other destinations the cause we have just mentioned did not exist the exportations for America increased, and finally the slight difference of 61 hl. to the profit of December 1877 must be only attributed to the deficit in the English orders.
The commercial situation seems firmly established today.
The laws of the export market
The two grand houses who incontestably frame the laws' on the export market, Messrs Hennessy and Martell, have just fixed the quotations of 1878 at 180 fr. per hectolitre the 1877's have been advanced 25 fcs, and the other years 20 fcs, which puts the 1877's at 195 fcs, the 1875's at 220 fcs. the 1874's at JMO fcs, the 1872's at 270 fcs, and the 1870's at 285 fcs. The Cognacs and three stars in case are maintained at preceding prices. The prices fully confirm the rise which has been manifested since the crop in spite of the unfavorable news from abroad, and the resistance which they have opposed to every elevation of the quotations. It could not be otherwise before the tenacity with which the proprietors have maintained their prices, perfectly "justified by the ninth bulletin of the officiai commission of the department of the Charente Inferieure, the sadly eloquent summary of which we give below.
We stated the presence of the phylloxera in 1875, in 3 arrondissements, 17 cantons, 99 communes in 1876, in 5 arrondissements, 25 cantons, 248 communes in 1877, in 6 arrondissements, 28 cantons, 305 communes in 1878, in 6 arrondissements, 31 cantons and 355 communes.
Upon the 168,945 hectares of vines which the Charente-Inferieure possessed in 1875, 155,100 are actually invaded or in the area of the invasion; on the 41,865 hectares invaded since 1877, 10,168 are today uprooted and the surplus will be almost unproductive in 1879.
If one can well consider that in the Charente the situation is still more desperate than in the Charente-Inferieure ail the communes being struck by the phylloxera, the conviction may easily be acquired that the present prices are perfectly justified.
The Phylloxera
The ravages of the phylloxera are not of very great extent at the present moment owing to the rigour of the weather.
But the snow and frost have had the effect of partly freezing the vine branches and that in several vineyards which had escaped the phylloxera. It may be recollected that in 1876, the same phenomenon was produced, and that the crop did not reach more than two thirds of an average year. The evil is without doubt not so grave this time, but some inquietude may be reasonably conceived which certainly will not have the effect of lowering the prices.
The exportations have augmented slightly of late. This proves that they commence abroad at last to take the rise as serious. But we must not draw this conclusion exclusively from it. The exportation trade of Cognac and other centres are heavily laden with old brandies and we do not guarantee that a comparatively important quantity of consignments does not enter among the figures of the shipments, -which would fully have the effect of getting rid of the stocks in France, but would go to augment greatly those of the foreign markets, and often cause the increase of a depression already very sensible.
The summary of Charente brandy shipments will be found further on, via Charente only, and those from Havre, St-Nazaire Bordeaux and Marseille, for foreign destinations, as well as the summary of importations and the exhibition of the situation of the principal foreign markets.
Postscript. –
Since the thaw much inquietude has been manifested in Champagne on the subject of the damage caused to the vines by the violent colds which we have had to submit to.
We cannot yet speak in any certain fashion the exactness of these complaints, but we must recognise that there is nothing improbable in them if we consider the persistent frosts of these late days. What is certain is that the fruit trees in this district of the Marne have suffered considerably.
It would be very unfortunate to have to announce to you that the vine has not been spared either.
