Alex and Mark are watching football when Whitney comes home late from work. She was out to dinner with her work friend, Craig, and afterwards they hit up a karaoke bar for some off-key singing. Whitney's phone rings; it's Craig calling. Alex and Mark quizzically look at Whitney as she laughs about something Craig said over the phone. Mark finally interjects and tells Whiney that her "work friend" has a crush on her. Alex agrees with Mark; he asks Whitney if Craig knows she has a boyfriend, "one that looks and may possibly be tough." Whitney tells them that Craig and she are just friends, nothing more. Craig even has a girlfriend named Marcine. Alex laughs at such an obvious made-up name. Whitney intends to prove Alex wrong by scheduling a double date so everyone can meet face to face.
The following week at Lily and Neal's apartment, Roxanne sits in agony as she waits for game night to begin. "What is it about couples when they've been together for a year? The need to host game nights becomes all-consuming," Roxanne quips. Mark gives Roxanne the competitive eye; he takes game night very seriously. Lily and Neal are one team while Mark and Roxanne are the other. Mark is dubious that Roxanne and he can win because he thinks women have inferior intellects. Roxanne proves him wrong as she answers all of the word association questions correctly while Lily and Neal fail to get one answer right. Later, Lily is worried about her and Neal's performance at game night. Neal tries to qualm her worries by saying it was just a game, but Lily feels it shows a deeper disconnect that they're not on the same wavelength. Lily begins the word association game again, and to her dismay, they fail to get one answer right.
At the therapist office, Whitney finishes explaining to Dr. Grant why they are seeking his help. Dr. Grant mentions that Whitney has been talking for 27 straight minutes, which tells him volumes more then the actual words she's spoken. He asks Alex to repeat the last sentence that Whitney said, but Alex can't remember. As Dr. Grant "digs through the salad of words for the crouton of truth," he theorizes that Whitney is having an "emotional affair" with Craig at the expense of Alex's needs. "Emotional?" Whitney questions. "What a waste of an affair." Dr. Grant gives them exercises to do at home to help improve their emotional intimacy and communication. The exercises are designed to find out how comfortable they are with each other's silences. He then asks them to embrace for 60 seconds with no talking. They awkwardly hug closer and closer, until Dr. Grant asks if they can feel each other coming together. Whitney responds back, "That almost never happens."
Later at the apartment, Whitney and Alex start Dr. Grant's communication exercises. Alex puts on noise canceling headphones in order to guess Whitney's emotions through her body language. Whitney gestures that she's feeling happy, but Alex thinks she's feeling pissed off. Whitney tries again and over exaggerates her body language to show she's happy, but Alex thinks she's extremely livid. Finally, Whitney throws her hands up in the air in extreme frustration, which Alex then guesses is her showing happiness. Later during a trust exercise, Whitney wears a blindfold as Alex calls out instructions on where she should walk. Whitney moves at a snail's pace, not fully trusting Alex's commands. Whitney's cell phone rings, but Alex warns her not to pick it up, as one of Dr. Grant's rules was no cell phone use. Not listening to Alex, Whitney answers the phone and finds an automated message from Dr. Grant admonishing them for picking up and as a penalty tells them to start all the exercises over.
Whitney and Alex have their double date with Craig and Marcine, except Marcine gets sick at the last second and can't make it. So their double date has turned into an awkward threesome as Alex is left behind in the conversation. Whitney attempts to steer the conversation to what Alex and Craig have in common, but Craig always one-ups Alex on the accomplishments of their shared interests. Later at a bar, Whitney tells Roxanne that Alex is jealous of Craig. Roxanne advises Whitney that she needs to do the hard work it takes to squash Alex's concerns or else the relationship can start to break. Roxanne recommends a couple's therapist that saved another friend's relationship. Whitney moans at the possibility of hard work, "I'm not going to therapy unless I know I can win."
Whitney and Alex start a new exercise where they have to tell each other a story from their past that they haven't told before. Alex tries several stories, but Whitney has heard them all. Alex gets upset and worries that these exercises are not helping but making things worse. Whitney tries to calm him down, but Alex stays uncharacteristically livid. He tells Whitney that when they first started dating they agreed that if they ever got bored with each other they would end the relationship and move on. Now Alex is worried that their relationship has reached that point of boredom, and she'll leave him. Whitney reassures him that she's not bored, but Alex feels that she's found someone more interesting in Craig. Whitney holds Alex lovingly and says that deal was made three years ago before she was ever in a real committed relationship; she doesn't feel that way anymore. Whitney and Alex rekindle their love and head to their "boring bed" for some "boring sex."
At Lily's apartment for a game night rematch, Roxanne tells Lily that Mark feels they won the other week because she thinks like a man. Roxanne asks Lily if she agrees. Lily awkwardly backs off from the question, but finally confirms that she does feel safer when Roxanne's next to her in crowds. As Mark starts the word association game, Roxanne purposely throws her answers, while Lily jumps in excitement as Neal and she get every word right. Later, Mark confronts Roxanne about why she's purposely losing the game. Roxanne denies the accusation; she is just letting her feminine side surface. Mark apologizes for telling her that she acts like a man; he meant it as a compliment. Guys find that sexy in a woman because they can relate to her. Roxanne fires back at Mark that he acts more like a woman than she does; he tans, journals and dyes his hair. Mark angrily yells out that the next round will be guys versus girls. He walks up to Neal and tells him they need to beat the girls. Neal tells him not to worry; he memorized all the cards to calm Lily's out-of-sync nerves.
Whitney and Alex meet with Dr. Grant and thank him for his advice. With his relationship exercises, their love is newly refreshed. However, Dr. Grant thinks they still need work and offers them more ways to fix their relationship. Whitney tells him that he's not listening to her and knows exactly how to fix the situation. She walks up to Dr. Grant and sits in his lap for a 60-second embrace. As they hug, Dr. Grant gently relaxes.

Nice Table
Nice accessory to take on an over-nite backpack if you don't mind a little weight. Pretty strong too. I put some duct tape at the ends of the legs to protect the tent floor when using inside the tent, mine were a little sharp. The rods get easier to install with more usage. I also have the smaller version.

100 Greatest Rolling Stones Songs
97. "Slave" (1981)
Like almost everything on Tattoo You, this grunting, growling stomp was recorded years earlier – in Rotterdam, during the Black and Blue sessions. It's a five-minute, cowbell-thwacking jam, with funky organ from Billy Preston and the great Sonny Rollins on sax. It's also a superb showcase for the range of Jagger's voice, which leaps from soul-man falsetto to bluesy moans.

CONCORD, N.H. (CBS) – A $1,000-reward is being offered for a tip leading to the arrest of a suspect who wrote hate-filled messages on homes in New Hampshire.
The hateful messages were discovered Sunday morning on three homes on Downing Street and Perley Street in Concord, all places where African immigrants live. They said things like "you are not welcome here" and call the residents "cursed."
Police said the messages were "intended to cause fear and alarm to those who read them."
Police said a citizen who wants to remain anonymous put up the reward money.

So the belly putter has belly flopped.
The broom handle has been brushed away. As of January 1, 2016, there will be no more different strokes for different folks, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and the United States Golf Association having decreed that long putters will be removed from the game of golf on that date, thereafter to languish for all time at the back of the garden shed or in increasingly desperate adverts on Gumtree.
Actually, they didn't say that at all. What the R&A and USGA really announced was that players will no longer be allowed to use any part of their body as an "anchor point" when making a stroke.
Loading article content
Concerned that broom-handle and belly putters were taking something fundamental out of the game, the two organisations moved swiftly and decisively, taking, oh, only about 25 years to reach this firm conclusion.
In which time, of course, millions of the things have already been sold. Back in the late 1980s, when he still looked like some sort of Ayrshire version of Borat, Sam Torrance's sudden adoption of the long putter would scarcely have provoked more comments if he had been stalking the greens with a Jedi lightsabre instead. Since then, however, they have become almost commonplace – long putters, that is, not lightsabers – which begs the question why golf's rulers have only got round to dealing with them now.
The answer lies in the fact that some seriously good golfers started winning some serious amounts of money with the things. With apologies to the noble exception that is Mr S Torrance of Largs, the vast majority of long putters, whether of the belly or broom variety, were used by players who, not to put too fine a point on it, were getting on a bit. They were a way of breathing new life into a putting stroke that, perhaps mirroring other areas in their lives, had gone a bit floppy. A long putter was as much a rite of passage into middle age as nostril hair, visits to garden centres and humming along with Classic FM.
But when younger golfers started winning significant tournaments with long putters, the authorities' eyebrows started to rise. And they went into orbit when, in quick succession, Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson and Ernie Els long-putted their way to major championships.
When 14-year-old Chinese prodigy Guan Tian-lang secured his place in the Masters field last month by winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship with a belly putter, the aghast expressions in the R&A clubhouse were worthy of a Bateman cartoon entitled "The Man Who Broke Wind During the Lady Captain's Loyal Toast". Which is why the game's rulers put an end to a quarter-century of pussyfooting, shilly-shallying and thumb-twiddling on the issue and announced their imminent ban.
Well, imminent by their sloth-like standards, but let's not get bogged down in that issue. The deed is done, the ruling made. As of January 2016, there can be no possible room for doubt on the matter.
At least that's what the decision-makers told us last week. Their new rule (14-1b if you must know) says: "In making a stroke, a player must not anchor the club, either directly or by use of an anchor point." Helpfully, they then add a couple of explanatory paragraphs on what this all means. Less helpful, though, is some of it is still as clear as mud.
In a funny kind of way, we all sort of know what they sort of mean. They don't want putters to be held against chins or tucked into abdomens, and nor do they want the hand nearer the butt end of the club to be made a fixed point by holding the forearm tight against the body. But golf is a game of absolutes and I have a creeping suspicion that the phrasing of the new rule leaves far too much scope for ambiguity. And that, in golf, always spells problems.
To their credit, the USGA issued a set of photographs to show what can and can't be done under rule 14-1b. But between that which is clearly legal and that which is emphatically not, there are still grey areas. The bracing of the forearm against the body is only the most obvious – how tight must the brace be to become an anchor point? – but it will surprise me not one bit if other issues and questions arise when the rule becomes active.
Personally, I find it hard to make my mind up on the matter of long putters. I'm persuaded by the argument that an anchored stroke is not a "real" golf stroke, but I can also see virtue in the fact that these soon-to-be banned implements can bring pleasure back into the game for many people. PGA Tour statistics also suggest that the benefits of using a long putter have been exaggerated.
But there is nothing to be said for a ruling that leaves things so vague and which, I fear, will lead to some messy disputes, and not just at the elite level, when it comes into force. The sport's rulers have tried to shut a stable door after the horse has cantered off into the distance. But they have left the thing creaking on its hinges.

About this eBook
PREFACE The vast land resource, rich genetic diversity with many landraces possessing resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, animal b sed farming systems, conducive climatic conditions for production o f quality fruits, vegetables and seed spices, opportunity for utilization o f solar radiation and wind energy, sufficient working force o f family labours, developing infrastructure facilities, etc. are the strength o f arid horticulture development. Whereas, extreme o f temperature, recurrent droughts, problem o f wind erosion, frost during winter, saline underground water resource, sandy soils, limited growing period, biotic pressure, etc. are the limitations of the region, owing to occasional crop failure. The existing farming practices in the region are less efficient with respect to space and time, hence cannot support the livelihood o f the inhabitant properly. For nutritional and income security, arid horticulture play a vital role in semi-arid and arid regions. Thus, appropriate and satisfactory safeguards have to be developed to make the system sustainable and profitable. The traditional wisdom of farmers of water harvesting in khadins and practice o f mixed cropping under rainfed conditions in hot arid region o f north western Rajasthan and growing o f vegetables in low cost growing structures in cold region o f Jammu and Kashmir gives an idea of utilizing farmers ITK for further refinement o f technologies. The arid horticultural crops are also well prone to grow organically. In view o f WTO regime o f export requirement, the peculiar dry climate and warm blend in hot arid region offers opportunity for producing quality products o f high health standard. Despite the immense potential, arid horticulture has got emphasis very late as research and development in horticulture were confined earlier to high value crops and resource rich situations. Now, it is realized that integration o f arid horticulture in existing farming system can play vital role in diversification o f untapped natural resources. Since, the development o f arid horticulture is comparatively recent, hence the published literature on this vital subject is scanty. Therefore, an effort was made to compile the work done so far in the field o f arid horticulture with special reference to
Indian scenario for nutrition and livelihood. The compilation of Arid Horticulture for nutrition and livelihood in arid region will serve as knowledge base o f all those involved in research and development of arid horticulture. The authors are grateful to Dr. H. P. Singh, DDG Hort. , I.C.A.R., New Delhi for their inspiration and guidance to bring out this publication. The guidance and support received from past and present Directors o f CIAH, Bikaner is sincerely acknowledged. The authors are also thankful to the scientists, technical persons o f CIAH for their support in compilation. We are highly grateful to the contributors o f the chapters who are experts in their fields for compilation of this publication.

Residents seek details on Oak Park gun store
Audience was relatively subdued at Irving School forum last week
About 80 people crowded into the Irving School auditorium last week, curious about a gun store opening in Oak Park, but they kept the safety lock on hostility toward the idea.
The South East Oak Park Community Organization sponsored the Nov. 29 forum, after Wednesday Journal first reported plans for a gun store on Roosevelt Road in October. Berwyn resident Justin Delafuente, 27, applied back in July to open Windy City Firearms at 6338 W. Roosevelt Rd. There he plans to sell rifles, shotguns and other related equipment.
The panel included Delafuente, along with Police Chief Rick Tanksley, acting Village Attorney Simone Boutet and Paul Zimmermann, president of the Roosevelt Road Business Association. Questions ranged from how much security the store will have, to why Delafuente picked Oak Park.
"That's where we've owned our building for 25 years, is the simple reason why," said Delafuente, who works for Bull Sharpening right next door. That longtime business is owned by his stepfather. "There was no regulation saying that I couldn't open at all."
Delafuente said he hoped to open this week. The owners don't plan to keep any inventory in the shop. Rather, customers can order items in the store or on their website. Items would then be shipped to the shop within a day or two for pickup. The store will also sell handguns to people who work in law enforcement, along with other gun-related items such as holsters, safes and racks.
Windy City Firearms will have a security system and steel door, but Chief Tanksley asked the owner not to get too specific about how he'd protect his business.
"There's certain things that perhaps we shouldn't talk about," Tanksley said. "But if you would rely upon the police department to work with Justin and make some recommendations in regards to proper security, if you could trust us with that, I will ensure that we give him the very best advice."
Delafuente said his primary customers will be law enforcement officers and hunters. If business is booming, it's possible he may transform the shop into more of a retail operation, but he would never include a shooting range in the space. He also clarified that the shop will pay sales taxes, and possibly plenty, as some of the guns will cost thousands of dollars.
Boutet said Oak Park was obligated to grant Delafuente a business license, as he has a right to open the store under the Second Amendment to the Constitution. However, it's possible that Oak Park might explore zoning regulations in the future to limit the number of gun stores. But the village needs to tread lightly, she said, as it doesn't want to subject itself to lawsuits.
Village officials stressed that they will keep a close eye on the shop to make sure Delafuente runs it properly. Oak Park hopes to open a police substation on Roosevelt in the near future, and village hall can revoke his business license if he sells to a minor or breaks any other laws.
Attendees submitted written questions for the panel but weren't allowed to comment at Tuesday's forum. Afterward, some griped about the business.
Gary Barnes, who's lived in Oak Park since 1980, questioned whether it would really be hunters buying many of Windy City's products.
"There's really no polar bears, there's no grizzly bears, there's no lions, tigers. What do they need the guns for? They're only to shoot people," he said.
Oak Parker Carol Zowaski said she was disappointed to hear that the gun store was opening in the village. She wondered why it's OK to operate the business with an elementary school and preschool right nearby.
"Why would he come here when there's a preschool blocks away? Or why would he come here when he knows Oak Park is in unity against it?" she said.
Zafar Mawani, the former president of the Roosevelt Road Business Association, said he hopes Oak Park is more proactive in foreseeing similar situations in the future. He hopes that Roosevelt doesn't become a dumping ground for other "undesirable" businesses.
"I'd like to see the village increase its commitment to Roosevelt Road to counteract some of the negative impacts of this store, whether it is police presence or active recruitment of other sorts of more desirable businesses on the street," he said.

While I do believe Justin has the right to open his store, my issue is the location. I would hope that no one would walk into a school and shoot people with a rifle (can we say Columbine), but it still makes me very uncomfortable that this is across the street from a daycare and e block from an elementary school.

Is hunting actually legal anywhere in/around Oak Park? I've seen deer in the forest preserve along the river between River Forest and Maywood, but I hope hunting isn't allowed there since a lot of people walk along the paths in there.

Most of the weapons the cartels come from South America and are of eastern block origin, if not foreign knock offs of U.S. weapons. If you browse the internet for pictures of captured cartels wearpons, you will see that the firepower some of them have is absolutely shocking. You certainly arent able to get working Soviet RPG 22s or 12.7mm DsHK heavy machine guns stateside.

@GUNZ KILL- you do you know that even if we ban guns here, there are still guns in about every other place on the globe, and they will find their way over here? That was certainly the situation in Mexico. Some say that the majority of the weapons in Mexico came from the U.S. which is a huge misconception. While yes, some did come from the U.S., the overwhelming majority are from South America or other countries.

Wow, what a thought, profound even! How do you propose that? Great Britain, Australia, and Argentina have done it and the crime have run wild - unless you are one with the criminals - like Occupy Oakland a large group that tried to break in a office building and was thwarted by the owner with a 12 gauge shotgun. The police previously lost half the force due to no tax revenue. The Police couldn't prevent mayhem and crime there. The manpower cuts which is happening all over the U.S.

I don't see the fuss. There is no downside to a legit business that will bring, probably quite a bit, extra sales tax into town, that is now being paid to more gun friendly local governments. A gun is a tool, just like an automobile, and dangerous if misused, but not as dangerous an an automobile...Do you want to ban automobile dealerships too?
Q from Oak Park
Posted: December 3rd, 2011 12:15 PM
twinsonic65, I think GUNZ KILL was trying to say that people who have guns should have them secured from anyone else getting them when the gun owner needs to part with his/her gun. It's just like people who take better precautions with their vehicle by locking it, alarming it, housing it in a garage with an alarm. People carelessly will leave a gun in a drawer or other unsecure areas and during a break in, it can be easily removed. Gun ownership does come with a great deal of responsibility

O.k. lets jail cops who got their homes and patrol cars broke into and guns taken, then jail gun shop owners who place gotten broken into, then jail all guns owners that have guns because there is a POSSIBILITY that their place gets robbed, then jail the kids that have BB guns and softguns because it COULD lead to getting a REAL gun, and jail kids that use their fingers like a gun, again because it may lead them getting a REAL gun. Then lets jail people who use and write words about it.

Blaming the guns and the victim - how about a round of sanity in your part and go with reality here? - Here's a change - Vote law abiding, fiscal conservative, Republican lawmakers and judges that will uphold the law. Remember the riots in England?, they used knifes, clubs and bats to break in homes and assualt others - It's not going to stop criminals that force their will on others.
Posted: December 3rd, 2011 8:55 AM
How about we lock up perfectly legal gun owners who get their guns stolen from their homes,cars, boats? All the illegitimate guns had to come from somewhere. No guns for all means no guns for all. Every year we put more guns into the universe. When people pass, I think they should destroy all their guns.

Or Cook County could use PROJECT EXILE - PROJECT EXILE was used in a major city - with homicide and robbery with a gun - automatic 10 years in Federal Prison - NO PAROLE period. The homicide rate dropped over 40% in one year. But you folks wouldn't want that to happen here - you rather blame the GUNS than the person carrying it to COMMIT A CRIME and hold them RESPONSIBLE for their actions and pay for it. Instead of using your emotions to drive the debate use critical thinking first - PLEASE...

GUNZ KILL - I have a solution: STOP VOTING for Libiral Democrats and JUDGES that believes that CRIMINALS need to be rehabilitated - Throw the criminals in JAIL and throw away the key. The same judges that you folks vote for every 2 to 4 years are the problem!!! The Democrat Circuit Court judges slap the criminals in the hand and let them go repeatedly. Most of them are repeat offenders - Why?

Josef... you guys are too hilarious. You all whine as if I'm 1,000 miles away while you really know that I am less than 30 minutes from your pristine little town. Why... you even have roads for cars running right through it. And I am fascinated by your keeping tabs on just when I posted. It's like having my own personal stalker on a "local village website." But again, thank you for making you and your family better victims than those of us here in Indiana for the social deviants who want to run over to Illinois for an easy score. If it saves one Hoosier life it is worth it. It's not necessary that you "believe" it. Some people still think that OJ was innocent too.

The core of this discussion is that we have a business man in our town who desires to open a legal shop, in accordance with all village rules who is being opposed by a small number of citizens who believe that their beliefs and opinions trump everything. The argument against this endeavor lacks factual data and relies on manufactured "What if" scenarios. Give the gun shop a year and see if your doomsday predictions are anywhere factual. I would venture that a year from now no one, but customers, will even be aware that this service exists in our town.

What some people fail to realize is that crime exists regardless of whether or not guns exist. Let's say for a moment that guns didn't exist. When a crew of 3-6 violent thugs (who feel less than inclined to consider your physical well being) breaks into your house while you are home using a chainsaw, smilies (pad lock affixed to a length of chain), bats, and blow torches as melee weapons since guns don't exist, how will you feel? Will you feel safer because they nor you have a gun?

All this talk about the last OP Policeman to be killed in the line of duty by a gun purchased from an OP gun store is 100% fabricated nonsense. The last OP policeman to fall in the line of duty happened in 1938. The last gun store to exist in Oak Park opened in 1944. I find it deplorable that some take advantage of the sacrifices of those who serve to fabricate a story to push across their political opinions.

While picking up band saw blades ( Dangerous?) at Bull Sharpening, I had the opportunity of talking to the owner of the new gun store. He told me that he had received his Federal Firearms License, a long arduous process that requires the approval of several federal, state and local agencies. He will provide a service to area residents who participate in legitimate shooting activities and area law enforcement officers. He also told me that he will not maintain any inventory ,but, will receive and deliver long guns to legitimate buyers. I find it troubling that citizens can tar shooting enthusiasts with the same brush as gang bangers, druggies and thugs. I would bet that there has not been a single firearms arrestee in Oak Park who holds a FOID or legitimate reason for owning a firearm. Our town has had a long history of support for shooting sports. The park district had a 50 foot pistol range and sponsored one of the top teams in the Tri-County Pistol League. Why can a couple hand wringing citizens declare a legitimate business as "undesirable?" If this business is well run and supported by local residents it will succeed, if not it will quietly go out of business. Why prejudge this local resident who sees a business need and has followed the rules to fill this void?

@ Gunz Kill: The "guns on the street" that are referred to are NOT legal guns. For 20 years it was illegal to own a handgun in Chicago, but they were still there...so how can it be a legal gun? You cannot punish the law abiding (gun shop owner in this instance)for the crimes of others or for potential outcomes. Every time someone sits behind the wheel, they become the operator of a potential 4000lb weapon, but I don't hear anyone asking to ban car dealerships.

Acting Village Attorney Simone Boutet said Oak Park was obligated to grant Delafuente a business license, as he has a right to open the store under the Second Amendment to the Constitution. However, it's possible that Oak Park might explore zoning regulations in the future to limit the number of gun stores. But the village needs to tread lightly, she said, as it doesn't want to subject itself to lawsuits. And that is the reason we will have a gun shop - threat of an expensive, losing lawsuit.

As your neighbor to the east I must apologize for Indiana's part in helping to dramatically increase the incidents of murders in Illinois. You see, for many years my state of Indiana has allowed law-abiding residents to carry concealed handguns, and criminals know it is a bad idea to attack a Hoosier. Nothing says "no" to a badguy quite like a bullet hole in the chest. Because of that, Hoosier criminals are quite aware that it is much safer to do their evil deeds in places where people like the Oak Park residents prefer they and their neighbors to be completely helpless. The mass exodus of our criminals helps ensure the continued well-being of Indiana residents -- even those who choose not to carry a handgun. It might not be of much comfort to your folks who will be victimized by these transplanted predators, but Illinoisians can find solace in knowing that we appreciate your willingness to make yourselves available as easier targets of opportunity. If it saves just one Hoosier life, it is worth it.

Posted: December 1st, 2011 12:14 AM
Are folks really so uninformed that they believe guns will be sold to minors and anyone with cash? There are extremely strict federal guidelines governing the sales of firearms. EVERY sale requires a FOID and a background check that pings the FBI and ISP. If the owner breaks one of those, he faces life in prison. If thugs want one, they go buy it from some crackhead in a back alley somewhere. Trust me, the BATFE is much tougher to satisfy than Oak Park.

I don't like the idea that guns will be more easily available in our village. The police do a fine job of protecting us. We don't need rifles to protect our families! This is not the Wild West. The only thing that happens is that guns fall into the wrong hands and then there can be murders and killings. Guns are meant to kill. Accidents happen all the time. I deplore this situation, not only here, but across our country. Our homicide statistics far outrun any other country in the world.

After Indiana's property tax restructuring bill left 12 township assessors in Harrison County with contracts but no work to do in the coming year, the county council voted to pay them through 2010, the end of their elected terms.
Under the law, passed earlier this year, county assessors are taking over work formerly performed by township assessors. Harrison County Assessor Lorena Stepro hired three of the assessors to help with the increased workload.
For former Harrison Township Assessor Gerald Saulman, who earned significantly more than other assessors because his township was more populous, that meant a salary of $37,249—higher than Stepro's. Saulman essentially will be paid twice, receiving $18,349 to fulfill the county's contractual obligations, and $18,900 in his new capacity.
Not surprising, Stepro was a little put off. "I didn't think it was very fair," she told the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky.
More surprising, Saulman agreed. "I'm not down there to make a million dollars," he said. "To me, it would be robbing everybody in the county."

text: For about 90 minutes Wednesday afternoon, it appeared that the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance had made a crucial decision in the ongoing contract dispute between Highmark and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. On its website, on a page dedicated to answering frequently asked questions about the dispute, the site stated: "Once the contract expires, UPMC providers will be considered out-of-network." After queries from the Post-Gazette, though, the department quickly changed the wording to say UPMC providers "may be considered out-of-network." Insurance department spokeswoman Melissa Fox said it is still awaiting information from the two parties that will clarify whether UPMC physicians will be in-network for Highmark members during a one-year run-out period to June 30, 2013.The issue has been a major point of contention between health system UPMC and insurer Highmark since negotiations to renew their 10-year contract broke down earlier this year.

The technology improvement which has occurred in areas such as Computer Sciences, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing has contributed significantly to many researches in 3D information extraction from high resolution images. The present paper shows a solution to perform the exterior orientation of a stereo pair of Ikonos II images and photogrammetric intersection, using a non rigorous model based on the mathematical model DLT (Direct Linear Transformation). The main research goals is the evaluation of the model performance for this kind of application associated with the best layout of control points to perform the indirect georeferecing of the Ikonos stereo pair to compute 3D coordinates via photogrammetric intersection. From the performed experiments, the best layout of control points was obtained. Using this control point configuration, the experiment yielded horizontal accuracy close to one pixel while vertical accuracy was close to 1.5 pixels.

WDC girls end season at 20-6
Pequot Lakes' Emily and Mattie Lueck were a double dose of poison for the Wadena-Deer Creek Wolverines Saturday as they combined for 47 points in a 69-60 South Subsection 8AA semifinal win.
Emily tallied a game-high 30 points and also dished out six assists. Mattie had a double-double with 17 points and 14 boards. The victory set up the top-seeded Patriots to play defending Section 8AA champ Hawley for the South Sub-Section 8AA championship.
The loss knocked the Wolverines out of the playoffs and gave them a final season record of 20-6.
Emily Miron collected 24 points for the Wolverines and grabbed 18 rebounds. Courtney Volkmann netted a dozen points and dished out seven assists. The Wolverines were hurt by poor floor shooting (21 percent) and the loss of Miron and fellow starter Avery Jackson in the second half with injuries.
The Wolverines, who handed the Patriots their only loss of the regular season Jan. 18 at Pequot, trailed by 18 with five minutes left in the game. The Wolverines staged a terrific comeback at that point and a pair of Volkmann three-pointers cut Pequot's lead to five with 1:48 remaining.
"We gave it a great effort but we couldn't get the ball to fall tonight," WDC head coach Keith Ferris said. "Our defense kept us in the game."
A. Jackson 8, Caitlin Volkmann 3, Courtney Volkmann 12, E. Miron 24, H. Theisen 6, K. Crawford 5, M. Moenkedick 2. Totals: 17/3 17-28 60

The Wolverines did not want another one-point nail-biter with the Vikings.
The South Sub-Section 8AA quarterfinal was a far cry from the 49-48 squeaker that WDC won at Pelican Rapids Dec. 21.
The No. 5 Vikings had a terrible time scoring on the No. 4 Wolverines in the first half. The WDC squad built a 17-4 lead before the Vikes figured out how to put points on the board. Brian Korf's club played with their hosts the rest of the first half and actually out-scored the Wolverines 16-15 but there was still a gap of a dozen points at the midway point.
The Vikings shot a weak 24 percent from the field hitting on just 13 of 54 attempts.
"The girls played great defense, I give them all credit," WDC head coach Keith Ferris said.
Ferris got scoring from eight of his players. Courtney Volkmann led the way with 15 points. Hope Theisen dropped in 11. Avery Jackson was good 10. The Wolverines connected on 21 of 48 shots for a 44 percent clip.
Kelsi Crawford led the Wolverines in rebounds with eight.
Pelican's Mackenzie and Bailey Strand joined Anna Skow-Anderson with 10 points.
The Vikings ended the season with a 19-8 record.

A user has set up a form on a website to email them when a visitor submits. The email comes in, and then disappears. The users mobile phone gets it, and if you're quick enough, you can see if in Outlook, but then bang, gone. I can go to recover deleted items for the inbox, and the messages show up.. It's only this message, and if I have the message sent to my mailbox, the message is fine. There is only 1 mobile device attached to this account. I've removed all the rules, and even gone in with mfcmapi and looked for rules and removed. This happens whether or not Outlook is open. According to the user, it worked ok for a while, and then it started. The server is not doing any spam checking as we sanitize our email through Microsoft Forefront spam protection. There are no junk email rules in effect.
What on earth is going on? Can anyone lend a hand and point me in the right direction?
All replies
The mobile device is an iphone using activesync. It happens even if the device is turned off.
I'll have to double-check, but I think POP service is turned off on the exchange server. I've started with the /cleanrules and also used mfcmapi to go in and remove any strays.
So you have checked their junk mail options in outlook and it is set to "No Automatic Filtering", and the checkbox for "Send Suspected Junkmail to deleted items" is not checked?
In my experience, if a message makes it to the phone, then goes missing, there is about a 99.9999% chance it has to do with outlook junk mail settings.
add the senders email to safe senders list in Outlook and see if the issues still occurs.
Check setting in Outlook, Junk email setting, what the deafult action is for
Tools | Options | Junk E-mail. Check the box at the bottom that says to
"Permanently Delete..." instead of moving to the Junk E-mail folder
Because it only happen to the one user, so we can ignore the Anti-Spam agent on Edge and HUB server.
Let's focus on the configuration at mailbox level.
I think it may be caused by:
1. POP not configured correctly.
2. Outlook junk filter
3. One option nobody had mentioned is Retention policy.
Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
Ok. Apologies, I didn't have my forum profile set properly to receive notifications of replies! Sorry!!
I'll check on the settings for Outlook Junk filter. I think I remember checking, but don't remember for sure.
We also don't have POP enabled through the firewall, so I don't think that's it, but I'll check.
Thanks for the suggestions.

First drive: VW Twin-Up prototype
What is it?
It's the revolutionary VW XL-1 - Top Gear's Innovation Of The Year, no less - reborn in less alien form, and on paper the most frugal small car on the planet.
The Twin-Up sees the XL-1's hybrid drivetrain - an 800cc two-cylinder diesel, alongside an electric motor and battery - transplanted into VW's dinky city car, an arrangement that promises a combined power output of 74bhp, along with official CO2 emissions of 27g/km, and consumption of 257mpg. Which means, with the Up's 7.2-gallon fuel tank a theoretical range of around 1900 miles on a tank. Obviously you'll never actually do that, but still…
Does it work?
We had but the briefest of runs in a very early prototype TwinUp, but it was enough to confirm that the XL-1's oily bits make perfect sense transplanted into an Up.
In electric-only mode, the TwinUp isn't quite so sprightly as the e-Golf we drove last week, nor indeed the all-electric (and appallingly named) eUp. But it's poky enough to do the traffic-light-to-traffic-light urban stuff that'll consume most of the Up's life.
In fact, the electric motor is slightly more powerful than that in the XL-1, to overcome the Up's extra weight and less piscine aerodynamics. It'll give you 50 miles before draining the TwinUp's 8.6kWh lithium-ion battery.
And if you need more shove, you simply call on the cheery diesel twin, which wakes up unobtrusively and emits the happiest of putters under heavy load. The two power sources combine seamlessly together to deliver more than enough go for suburban schlepping, and eliminate that pesky range anxiety suffered by owners of electric-only cars. Though 0-62mph takes a not-so-fast 15.7 seconds, more relevant is that the TwinUp will get from standstill to 37mph in under nine. Fast enough, just about.
Of course, you might well counter that, if you want a two-thousand-mile theoretical range, you don't really want a city car at all. But to us the TwinUp seems to represent the best of both worlds: a zero-emissions, cheap-to-keep plug-in EV for around town, but with the option of making it to Aberdeen in a single schlep when Auntie Morag comes down with her annual case of the willies.
With all those power sources on board, is there any room left for humans?
There is, for the TwinUp is most neatly packaged. The modest battery doesn't cut into bootspace or leg room, instead nestling right down by the rear axle. That said, this car is a few millimetres longer than the standard petrol Up, with the front bumper shoved forward to incorporate the hybrid's extra cooling elements.
As ever with VW, this is a proper job rather than a hurried conversion. Our favourite detail is the matching pair of filler caps on left and right: one for the diesel nozzle, the other for the electric flex.
Of course we'd love to have seen some of the XL-1's more outlandish touches - bullet-cam rear view mirrors, carbon chassis - make their way onto the Up, but that would rather undermine its billing as an affordable city-thing: the XL-1, remember, will cost you north of £100,000 to have on your driveway.
Even so, it's great to see VW's most advanced tech filtering so quickly down to cars within the reach of us mere mortals.
So should I buy one?
You can't. Yet. Officially VW says it hasn't decided whether to put the TwinUp into production, but insiders tell us we're likely to see the finished thing in 2016. If it can reach the road at a reasonable price - under, say, £15,000 or so - this thing could be a gamechanger. Watch this space.

I first had Tacky Toffee at a cookie exchange with my moms group in December 2009. I loved the salty/sweet/chocolate combination, and found a way to bring home extra servings. I asked for the recipe and made it several times over the next few weeks. My family does not like nuts, so I had to find people to share the toffee with me. Otherwise, the whole batch could be gone in hours. It is that good.
Resuscitate — what in the world does that big word mean? Well, I'm sure that the Spencer County EMT personnel know that a resuscitator is an apparatus used to restore respiration to a partially asphyxiated person, even to a person who may be unable to be restored. That doesn't mean that they give up without trying.

A local resident recently received a letter from the "National Lottery Corporation" in Annapolis, Md., stating she had won part of $550,000.
"Part of the scheme is, she was sent a very official looking check," Jewell said.
Oh yes, it can happen, even to the point where one or both partners begins to wonder if maybe a "new deal" would be an alternative. Well, that can be what the "ideal" marriage has finally become, often much to the surprise of both partners who started out on this blissful trip until "death do us part".
Usually the couple intended to have their marriage be idyllic, which Webster's dictionary describes as "pleasing or picturesque in natural simplicity." In other words, wonderful, enjoyable, happily in love with each other.

Difference between revisions of "Puri"
Revision as of 11:17, 1 January 2013
Puri is a renowned city and headquarters of Puri District in the Indian state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) (Latitude: 19° 48' 0 N, Longitude: 85° 50' 60 E), also known as The Abode of Lord Jagannath.
Jagannath Puri or Purusottama Puri (approximately 1 and a half hours or 60 km from Bhubaneswar by bus {about Rs. 25 to Rs. 150), about 2 hours by train) is a pilgrimage town with the famous temple of Lord Jagannath (means Lord of the Universe) and is a major tourist destination with all its beautiful and pleasant sights. There are many hotels, most overseas tourists stay near to Chakratirtha Road (C.T. Road) - try Hotel Lotus - for the best of star hotels like hotel holiday resort, mayfair beach resort or you can ask rickshaws for 'Sea Beach Road or Swargadwara'. Some good hotels are Hotel Puri and Hotel New Sea Hawk (in Swargadwar) The Sun temple at Konark is also near by. If you go to Puri by road from Bhubaneswar you will go past Pipli with its beautiful applique handicrafts, worth a look. The Puri sea beach is a major attraction with its fantastic sea face view and golden sand, the water is a bit rough (which is good if you like to surf).
Get in
By train
Puri is well connected by Railways. Trains are from Kolkata (Howrah jn), New Delhi, Ahmedabad, etc. It is also a major railhead on the East Coast Railway, bifurcated from Khurda Road Jn. The Railway Station of Puri is in The heart of the town and near to all hotels. If you arrive by train go to the Odishan State Tourist counter at the station for advice, they are usually very helpful and speak English. The MCO Booth is also quite helpful. Locals speak Oriya. Due to the presence of people from various parts of India there would not be a language problem. Hindi is also widely used. Some locals even speak Bengali.
Get around
You can use cycle or auto rickshaws but agree a price before you set off. There are places on C.T Road where you can hire an Enfield motorbike, good if you want to drive along the coast to Konark(Sun Temple). A cycle rickshaw is in the range of 5-20 rupees.
Famous Places Near Puri
Enjoy the splendour of the Golden Beach of Puri. It is ideal for surfing and cool for a dip. The beach is covered in golden sand. The waves can also be high and rough during purnima (full moon). Also, "Please Do not litter the beach" to keep its magnificent view intact. You have to be careful about swimming off the Chakra Tirtha Rd end of the beach because there is a canal that carries raw sewerage into the ocean.
Puri is a very popular holiday resort for people from all over India but they tend to stay in the hotels nearer to Swargadwar (rather than C.T Road). These hotels are often inexpensive and offer quality services at very reasonable rates.
Two minutes walk from Railway Station and Ten Minutes to Jagannath Temple Harishvchawda 05:58, 22 October 2010 (EDT)h
Stay safe
In cheap hotels or Guest Houses on Swargadwar or New Puri, try to take care of your own belongings. DO NOT try to go to the beach after 8 pm. If you get seriously ill in Puri it is better to go on to Bhubaneswar to the Kalinga Hospital as the hospitals in Puri are very, very basic and not too clean. The hotel should be able to get a local doctor for you if you need one.
There are mouthwatering foodstalls on the beach selling fish, mutton, chicken kebabs, chops and cutlets. DO NOT try these, unless you want to experience the medical system of Puri. Even weather-beaten, battle-hardened, super-immune Indian stomachs can not tolerate these tasty but unhygienic attacks on your digestive system. Eat out of hotels, perfectly fine. But do NOT try the seashore roadside food stalls.
Stay safe from pandas of any temple.They will extract money from your pocket ruthlessly in the name of God. They are very influential and nothing can be done with the help of law. Avoid entering innermost sanctum of any living temple(even if you are Hindu/Indian).They will ask you to offer puja or pay respect to innumerous Gods here and there of same temple very politely/affectionately but will demand money in name of each God separately.No use arguing with them.If you are a bit religious/curious then carry enough change so that you can donate Rs 1,2,5, 10 to get rid of them without any commotion.
Stay away from monkeys.Dont lure them with food and other stuff.
Get out
Puri being a major tourist spot is well connected with rest of the country by train. In case of flight connectivity one has to go to Bhubaneswar to get onto one. From the main bus stand in Puri you can get buses to Bhubaneswar and Cuttack which are less than 60-70 km far. Bhubaneswar which is a major hub further increases connectivity. The temple of Konark is nearby and definitely a must visit. Satapada on Chilika Lake is nearby and is a great place for sighting dolphins. IMPORTENT: Be aware from local public. they can misguide you. must aware from roadside travel agencies who promice you for sieght seen at very low cost. donot beleave them. as example they are claiming to visit CHILKA , but they took tourist to a place where some number of private ships arranging to chilka boating , they charge rs 1500-1800(yr-2012) per boat for max 5 person (3 hrs ride). private boat owner give commision rs 200-300(yr-2012) to vechile driver .
so whenever you are going to book sight seeing tour to CHILKA pls ask clearly for go to CHILKA SATPADA where OTDC organised GOVT BOATING which is around rs 60-70 per head starting at 10:00am from satpada. the indica rent from sea beach to satpada is around rs 800/-(yr-2012) while upto private ship jetty it is around rs 500/-(yr-2012). i sure u will be in profit is you go to SATPADA OTDC organised tour and save money heavely.
dont eat any thing at RAJHANS Island(known as sea mouth). Black crabs are sold Rs 150/- each, actual cost is Rs 100/- per k.g. at chilka fish market. Shopkeepers are selling prawans in name of "chilka Prawan", actually these grown in agriculture field known as 'hybrid prawans by eating some rotten meat'. If you eat, there is a chance of falling sick. so please avoid eating at Rajhans Island. Donot buy the pearl sold in the island. These are duplicate pearls actual cost is Rs 2/- brought from bhubaneswar.Once in everyday these shell open their mouth, at that time these seller put the duplicate pearl inside the shell. when they sold to tourist they keep 100 empty shell and 200 pearl filled-in shells,whenever they break it, some shell found to be empty,Hence tourist couldnot doubt their integrity and thinks it is an act of god. Sometimes they put some chemical on pearl and it wont catches fire. So Beware and avoid buying pearls.
dont beleave taveller person they are force & insist you for not go to SATPADA.

HONOLULU (July 19, 2009) – A record 379 bidders from around the world turned out last night at Honolulu's Blaisdell Center for the fifth biennial Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction, presented by Quiksilver Waterman Collection. Together they battled their way through the bidding wars to set a new high tally of $767,546. Beyond records, one of the most surprising developments of the evening was the heated push for collectibles from the 1970s.
When the final hammer fell, two items had broken through the previous single-item record of $33,000, and five items had reached or exceeded $20,000.
Star of the show was the 11'0″ Bob Simmons foam sandwich board (1949/50) from the James Arness "Gunsmoke" collection that topped the night at $40,000. The same bidder also walked away the second-highest item, a 1955 Matt Kivlin 10'4″ balsa board for $39,000, as well as the record-setting paddleboard to date: $20,000 for a towering 13'8″ wooden Tom Blake Rogers Paddleboard. All three boards are now Australia-bound.
Without a doubt, it was the '70s collection that busted down the door to a new era of collecting, An 8'0″ Lightning Bolt shaped by Gerry Lopez sparked an online bidding war that resulted in a new '70s record price of $25,000. An outrageous George Greenough Flextail board from 1972, equipt with roughshod nose leash loop, release fin, and raw two-tone red and blue surface spray job rocked the house when it far exceeded its $7,500 reserve to fetch $20,000.
It wasn't all about surfboards, either. No-one could be more shocked than 1977 world champion Shaun Tomson (South Africa) to discover his 1975 Duke Surf Classic set of white boardshorts, event program and Oscar-like gold trophy sell for $10,300 – more than his trademark blue 7'10" Tom Parrish that went for $10,000. All proceeds from those items will be going to the Mathew Tomson Foundation.
The top-selling non-surfboard lot was the Kahanamoku family album – 60 pages of incredible family history, original photographs and newspaper clippings. It sold for $14,000 to a young Hawaii bidder who slipped through the door seconds after the item took the stage, and exited just as quickly upon winning it. The local community was happy to know the album will remain here, at home in Hawaii.
Along with a powerhouse bidding pack, the evening experience was made richer by the stunning turnout of surf icons from across the generations. Among them were Greg Noll, Bing Copeland, Jock Sutherland, Mark Richards, and Peter Townend. Also present were legendary shapers Matt Kivlin and Joe Quigg whose, combined board sales exceeded $100,000. Joining them was Dick Brewer, who commanded ultimate respect in his stylish black trousers, deep lilac collared shirt and bolo tie combination that would have earned the envy of another icon of his generation: Roy Orbison.
A portion of every sale made will be donated to the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation, along with the Surfing Heritage Foundation, and the Surfrider Foundation, with the bulk of the balance going to the individual item consignors.
A sincere mahalo to master auctioneer Joe Teipel; to the extensive crew both on the floor and behind the scenes, led by Randy Rarick, that made this auction possible; to the Surfling Live and iTV360 team for the live webcast; to FWB Consulting for making the online auction such a success; and to the ongoing support of surfing collectors, the surfing community, and the local community here in Hawaii.
All results will be posted online at www.hawaiiansurfauction.com after the official tally is complete, which is expected to be this Wednesday, July 22nd.
All results can be found online at www.hawaiiansurfauction.com .

Cowboys position series: This player could be the anchor at center for the rest of the decade
Quick synopsis: A willingness to mix it up is essential. The center doesn't have to have great physical quickness, but he's responsible for adjusting plays at the line of scrimmage so quick recognition of defensive sets is essential.
2013 review: The Cowboys received criticism that they reached to take Travis Frederick at the end of the first round of last year's draft. Those complaints faded over the course of the season. Frederick stepped in as a starter from Day One and never looked back. He's a tough, aggressive player who masks any athletic shortcomings with a keen understanding of the game. He rarely made the same mistake twice and quickly assumed the responsibility of letting the line know what defensive adjustments to make before the snap.
2014 outlook: Smith was the first long term piece of the Cowboys offensive line to fall into place. Frederick is the second. He could anchor this position for the remainder of the decade.

On the night of Sunday, October 2, Kim Kardashian West was bound and gagged in her private Paris apartment while five villains dressed as police officers robbed her of nearly $10 million in jewelry.
Other than Kanye West abruptly ending his New York show early and Kris and Kendall Jenner immediately departing from Paris, the entire family has remained uncharacteristically mum on social media. Nevertheless, more details of the crime have come to light since the incident.

- 18 Outrageous 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Quotes For Every Situation
The Details Of The Attack
According to TMZ, the reality star was lying in bed in her private Paris apartment while her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, watched over sisters Kourtney and Kendall as they partied less than two miles away at Arc nightclub. Apparently, the ruffians managed to handcuff the doorman of the building and convince him to point out Kardashian West's apartment. The star heard the men force their way into the apartment, and tried to dial Duvier's number on her cell phone, but was unable to complete the call before the robbers snatched her phone away.
Next, they bound her hands and feet with zip ties, and gagged her with duct tape before dumping her in the marble bath tub. According to the Daily Mail, Kardashian West feared she would be raped, and begged the criminals not to hurt her because she had children at home. A source told People:
"[Kim] was tied up, and gagged with duct tape wrapped around her head. They put plastic ties around her wrists but she managed to squeeze her hands out of the wrist ties by wriggling her hands."
When she finally managed to escape, she called for help from the balcony. Her friend, Simone Harouche, a former stylist for the Kardashian-Jenners, heard her cries and managed to reach both Duvier and the police. The anonymous source continued:
"[Kim] was hysterical but not screaming as she knew she had to keep quiet to survive. The reports of her fear of being raped are real. She really did think she was going to be raped. She had a gun to her head the whole time."
Kris Jenner Gives A Thumbs Up
As she was leaving Paris on Monday morning, Kris Jenner was surrounded by the customary hordes of paparazzi. One pap shouted to her, asking how Kim was faring in the morning following her ordeal, and Jenner responded with a simple thumbs up in the air, and continued getting into her car. Kendall and Kourtney were also seen leaving Paris that same day.
Kris Jenner's seemingly nonchalant attitude in this particular clip has led some gossipers to theorize that the entire incident was a hoax, orchestrated by Kris. Of course, no real evidence has appeared that supports any of those claims.
Kanye Is Furious
As for Kanye, a source described his reaction to his wife's assault as "furious":
"He feels like she was terrorized. It's not just that she was robbed; it's that she was put into a position where she begged for her life, thought she was going to be raped. She was brutalized and manhandled."
Pascal Duvier Wants Revenge
While many Kim fans have questioned the loyalty and reliability of her long-time body guard Pascal Duvier, a source for Us Weekly was quick to assure us that Kim holds no ill will toward him whatsoever:
"Pascal was with Kourtney and Kendall at L'Arc Nightclub. Kim felt safe at the apartment by herself. Kim is not blaming Pascal. She felt completely safe at the Paris apartment and doesn't believe this is his fault in any way."
As for Duvier, he will be massively increasing the security around Kardashian West, and he has a message for the men that instigated the attack (and anyone that might try to harm his client in the future). He told the Daily Mail:
"The events that occurred in Paris was one of the most sickening things I have seen or heard. We have tips and leads and we will find you. That I promise you...you messed with the wrong one."
Kim Kardashian West has yet to make a formal statement following the attack.

Even if I am a girl! How dare they mock me!" you stopped and looked back at your computer.Something wasn't right...
You walked over to the computer and saw a Nintendo 64 (is that right?) game system with a game inside.It read "Majora's Mask" on it. Then, you suddenly thought of BEN.Its been awhile since he's shown up in your room.Did he set this here?
Shrugging, you took the game system and began plugging it into the TV and wall, then sat down in front of it, turning it on.You took a deep breath and stared at the screen, before looking back at the computer.Frowning, you turned back to the TV screen, and began playing the game.
(A few minutes later...)
You were honestly freaked out by this game, your (e/c) eyes widened in horror as Link, or whoever the hell that was drowned in the ocean.And BEN, the statue was there.Staring."The fuck...? This game is so weird! I can't play this!"
"What? Too chicken to play a little game~?" came that same familiar voice from behind you.You squeaked and jumped, turning to come face-to-face with BEN himself.You blushed in embarressment and then snarled.
"NO! Th-This game just doesn't make sense! Besides, what are YOU doing here?" you snapped.
"Eh, just dropping by to see if you played the game yet." you looked to see BEN was floating, as he circled you slowly.You watched in fascination, before you shook your head and crossed your arms.
"I did.And I regret it.Now take your stupid game back and shove it up your ass-
"Whoa! Somebody going through their time of the month?" BEN snickered.Your face began to get red in anger as you huffed, stomping your foot.
"It is NOT, for YOUR information! And I'm just SICK of you MEN thinking women can't play video games just as good as you guys can!" you said angrily.
"Oh, that? Yeah I heard your little conversation." BEN shrugged, floating over to the computer chair and taking a seat.You raised a (Insert color that matches h/c) eyebrow.
"So you were stalking me?" you asked as calmly as you could.
"Err...sorta...I dunno." BEN shrugged.You were silent for a few minutes, before you let out a scream of rage and then sat down, rubbing your temples.
"This cannot be happening to me.." you muttered.
"Oh, but it is~!" BEN said in a sing-song voice.Before you could reply, your door bursted open and in came your annoying brother, Tommy.
"(Y/N)!!! GUESS WHAT I DID TO-*gasps* WHO IS THAY BOY!!! I'M TELLING DYLAAAN-"
"NO YOUR NOT!!!" you grabbed Tommy and covered his mouth, dragging him back into the room.You then laid him onto the floor and quickly went to the door, closing it and locking it.
"HEY! LET ME OUT!!-" grabbing the nearest thing, you grabbed a sock and shoved it in his mouth, grinning.
"Put a SOCK in it Tommy~!" you snickered.BEN started laughing.
"G-Good one!" BEN said inbetween laughters.Tommy spit the sock out of his mouth and began whining.
"Eeeeew! First your vomit and now your DIRTY sock?! Your so cruel (y/n)!" Tommy whined.
"Keep talking and I'll shove a rat down your pants next..." you grumbled.BEN laughed a bit louder, falling out of the chair and onto the floor, kicking his legs.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! You two are better than me and Jeff!" BEN giggled, whiping a tear...or blood from his eye.
"....Who is this guy? Your BOYFRIEND!?!?!" Tommy teased, grinning and pointing at BEN.You blushed madly as BEN continued laughing.
"Th-This girl? MY girlfriend?! No way kid." BEN rolled onto his stomach and pointed at Tommy, grinning.
"The feeling is mutual, elf." you grinned as BEN's face turned into one of anger.
"You shouldn't have said that..." BEN growled.
"WELL~! I'm gonna leave you two lovebirds alone~! Don't worry (y/n)! I won't tell Dylan about your little boyfriend coming over without permission and hanging in your room~!" Tommy snickered, walking towards the door and unlocking it, opening it, and walking out.Your cheeks turned red and you stomped to the door, yelling.
"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!! AND STAY OUT OF MY ROOM, YOU LITTLE SNOT NOSED, LOUD MOUTHED BRAT!!!" you slammed the door shut and locked it, growling.When you turned, BEN was staring at you, rather amused.
"Your fun to watch you know~" BEN cooed.
"....Get out." you grumbled, pointing to the computer.

An Israeli researcher has found a way to kill the parasite that causes sleeping sickness.
Triggering a pathway in the parasites can shut down production of a crucial molecule, killing the T. burcei parasite, Shulamit Michaeli of Bar-IIan University said in research published online in EMBO Reports.
Sleeping sickness is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, where it's estimated to affect as many as 70,000 people. It can cause skin lesions, fever, blindness and death.
Researchers said the pathway could be used to eradicate other parasites and diseases, including Chagas disease, which effects 16 million to 18 million people, EMBO Reports said.
