Written by Felix (feelix on GameFaqs) - gsection at gmail dot com
Introduction (I)
First of all, thank you for checking out my findings in this short, but to
the point walkthrough on how to get all of the 9 Rare Items in Rogue Galaxy.
I've already logged more than 120 hours playing through this innovative game
and I'm sure there will be even more to come. Hope it'll help some of you out
Rare Items (II)
Whilst playing Rogue Galaxy you'll notice that there's a whole page under
the "items" tab for something called "rare items". There are 9 of the items in
all and they require quite a bit of work to find / acquire. Since I've already
invested quite a bit of time into getting them all and couldn't find a lot of
help on the net, I've written it all down for you to use in your search.
Finding / Getting the 9 Rare Items (III)
The first (1/9) Rare Item: "Luvanda Blade"
Planet: Rosa
Teleport to: Rosa Ancient Ruins - Near the Tunnel
This can only be done after chapter 11 starts. Walk North from the teleporter
and you should find a man named Maskul (blue orb), talk to him.
Teleport to: Labyrinth - Near the Core
Follow the path into the large room and hold a left, there you shall find a
strange animal (blue orb). Talk to it to get the "Luvanda Blade"
The second (2-9) Rare Item: "Shiska's Necklace"
Planet: Rosa
Teleport to: Johannesburg - Plaza
You'll find a man named Rydel (blue orb) in front of one of the buildings,
talk to him several times until you get a log entry in your info log.
Teleport to: Johannesburg - In Town
Search the vase outside the house on the right for "Shiska's Necklace"
The Third (3-9) Rare Item: "Lepognon Mammoth Tusk"
Planet: Zerard
Teleport to: Gladius Towers 1st Tower 6F
Take the elevator that's right beside the teleporter up to 7F. Follow the path
and it will eventually take you to a bridge that connects the two towers. Kill
"The Tower Predator" also known as Lepognon Mammoth (quarrie). Leave the bridge
and return once again. Talk to the man on the bridge named Watclos (blue orb)
If he is not there,kill The Tower Matador (quarrie) as well and make sure that
you have finished dealing with the kings sons.
Teleport to: Galaxy Corporation - Entrance
Walk North towards the towers. You will find Linda (blue orb) behind the left
pillar, talk to her.
Teleport to: Rosencaster Prison - Interior Pathway A3 Waste Area
Enter the door nearby and search the head of the dead monster for the "Lepognon
Mammoth Tusk".
The fourth (4-9) Rare Item: "Mirror of Truth"
Planet: Vedan
Teleport to: Spaceport - Depot
Walk South towards the train station. You will find Gyzer (blue orb) in the
southwest corner of the train station. Talk to Gyzer once with all 8 members of
your team, then once more with Jaster. This will net you the "Mirror of Truth"
rare item.
The fifth (5-9) Rare Item: "The Annals of Hades"
Planet: Vedan
Teleport to: Myna - Near Item Shop Corbis
Acquire the Platinum License (20 + 40 + 60 Hunter Coins, then talk to MIO)

Teleport to: Starship Factory - Near Pocacchio's Lab.
Walk inside the lab and search the cardboard box on the right side
of the room for the "Character Mug" rare item. Talk to Ikarot (blue orb) right
outside the lab for a reward [Perfect Elixir].
The seventh (7-9) Rare Item: "Arbin's Chalice"
Planet: Juraika
Teleport to: Burkaqua Village - Path to Burkaqua Exit
Walk North to find Souie (blue orb), talk to him twice. You now need to get
hold of the jungle outfits for Jaster and Kisala before you can get any
further. Also make sure that Lilika is wearing her original costume (Warrior's
Clothes). Kisala's outfit can be found by killing Garuski (quarrie). Travel to
Vedan, then Teleport to: Myna - South Myna Station Plaza. From here go inside
the tunnel to the left and use the item "lipstick" to start the fight. The

By now, even the most peripheral market participants have likely noticed the decrease of volatility levels so far in 2012. To shine some more light on today's low-volatility levels in risk-asset markets, however, let us walk through a few charts (all charts below courtesy of Bloomberg Finance).
Large-cap stocks — as collectively tracked by the S&P 500 Index (SPX[1]) — have rallied almost 14% since December 20 and are up nearly 25% from their early-October 2011 lows. Of note is that the rally since December 20 has come in one straight shot (i.e., with no pause).
While the rally came on the back of further liquidity injections by central banks around the globe, investors were forced to embrace it to the point of sending volatility to levels not seen since July 2011. This trend is illustrated by the declining slope of both major volatility indexes, the CBOE SPX Market Volatility Index (CBOE:VIX[2]) and the CBOE S&P 100 Index (OEX) Market Volatility Index (VXO[3]).
As their names imply, the VIX and VXO track implied volatility in, respectively, SPX and OEX options. What this likely means is that many market participants are currently running around "naked" without much downside protection in terms of put options on stocks.
One way to point out the decrease of actual (historical) volatility in the S&P 500 is by noticing the index's narrowing trading range. As of Friday, March 2, there has not yet been a single day this year where the S&P 500 dropped more than one percent; every single attempt at a dip has been bought.
Another way of looking at the lack of volatility in equities is via the average true range[4] (ATR). Much like the VIX, the 10-day average true range of the S&P 500 has been in a steady downward trot and the current level of 10.54 was last seen in the spring of 2011. Given the still very shaky macro backdrop (last week's global macro data came in below expectations on average[5]), this trend of narrow intraday swings in stocks is remarkable (and most likely unsustainable).
Commodities saw a rise in volatility last week but their volatility already started slowing its downtrend in the middle of February. Volatility in stocks, on the other hand, has continued to fall considerably all through last week. Volatility readings in certain commodities and currencies have a tendency to shift ahead of volatility in other asset classes, namely stocks. As such, we must keep a close eye on how commodities trade in coming days.
All in all, the current low-volatility levels in equities is unsustainable, especially if we consider how negative investor sentiment was just two months ago. Volatility is a mean-reverting asset as they say, and as such, a move higher in volatility should not be far away.

The Tech Museum of Innovation
San Jose, California 95113
Phone: 408/795-6221
We'd love it if you would mention that you found The Tech Museum of Innovation on the Here Comes The Guide website.
Mention Here Comes The Guide when you schedule your site visit and receive two complimentary IMAX Theater vouchers.
Book your event at The Tech and receive 10% off your rental fee.
Why We Like This Place
All you people who yawn at the prospect of going to a museum listen up: The Tech is not just a museum, it's an adventure. In fact, The Tech may be the most exciting thing to happen to the South Bay in years.
Located in downtown San Jose, facing Plaza de Cesar Chavez and just across from the Fairmont Hotel, this bright mango building houses 300 high-tech interactive exhibits that will energize the most jaded visitor. And wonder of wonders—if you host an event here, the exhibits are available for your guests' enjoyment!
Events are held in the museum lobby, the exhibit galleries, and the Hackworth IMAX Dome Theater. You can reserve any combination of spaces or rent the entire museum. The lobby is a fantastic place for a large party: It's a three-level atrium with a 45-foot cylindrical tower rising up through it and, when used in conjunction with the adjacent New Venture Hall, it can accommodate 500 for a sit-down dinner.
The galleries lend themselves to standing receptions. They're thoroughly modern, displaying a mix of steel, glass and plastic, with walls and ceilings painted in jewel shades of purple, yellow and blue. Each gallery has a different theme: In Social Robots, you get to build (and accessorize) your own robot. At the award-winning Body Metrics exhibit, visitors can check out wearable sensor kits and track and manipulate their own biometric data. The world's first interactive exhibit on bioengineering, BioDesign Studio, lets guests use biology as technology to make colorful mixes of DNA and bricks out of mushrooms. Favorites like the Jet Pack Chair and the Earthquake Shake Platform are always crowd-pleasers.
In addition to these extraordinary galleries, The Tech has one more cutting-edge gem that will dazzle you and your guests: the Hackworth IMAX Dome Theater. The only one of its kind in Northern California, it features a giant hemispherical screen whose image dwarfs that of a conventional theater and puts the audience in the center of the action. Outfitted with state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, the theater can be reserved exclusively for a performance or presentation, but we recommend you also use it for viewing an IMAX film: Take the ultimate off-trail adventure into America's great outdoors in National Parks Adventure. Get a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space in Beautiful Planet, or learn about the profound ways aviation has transformed our lives in Living in the Age of Airplanes.
The Tech aims to inspire the innovator in everyone, yet even if you don't come away wanting to be a scientist when you grow up, you'll have to admit that this place makes traditional meeting rooms and party themes feel obsolete. Part of the next generation of museums, The Tech triumphs at making science, math and technology not only accessible, but positively fun.

Wood County stumped by sign stealing
Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:34:34 GMT —
The Wood County Sheriff's Office is investigating a string of road sign robberies.
Since Saturday night, around 50 road signs have gone missing from an area just north of Bowling Green to Northwood, including Middleton, Webster, Freedom, Perrysburg and Troy townships.
Most of the stolen property consists of road name signs, but several load limit, state route and construction signs are also missing.
Investigators suspect the signs were taken as a prank and is requesting that family members and neighbors contact the office if they see any of the stolen property. The signs are not only expensive to make, but they will also require many hours of labor to replace.
No traffic control signs were taken, but Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn is asking motorists to be very careful in case of missing stop signs.

Whenever an unexplained rash appears on the skin there is always concern. Is the rash just a minor ailment or is the rash an indication of a more serious underlying health problem? Is the skin rash viral, bacterial, fungal, or allergy based?
If there is concern then advice from a medical doctor should be obtained. In fact, in some skin rash cases, emergency medical assistance is a must.
In many cases, that unexplained skin rash could indeed be explained. In order to help identify different types of skin rashes you need to know what type of factors can cause a skin rash. You also need to classify the symptoms. The diagnose my skin rash page provides this information for many different types of skin rashes. In addition, treatment of rashes and prevention tips are also provided. Therefore, by using the information on the above mentioned page, some investigation as to when and where the skin rash occurred and possibly consultation with a physician (where necessary), that rash can be explained.

I love the smell of this one — it's all ripe, juicy pineapple ready to be eaten! I thought for sure this would taste like a pina colada in a cup. Even my fiance was impressed by the scent of this one.
I steeped this hot and chilled it to make an iced tea for him. He swears he gets a banana flavor from it. I tried a bit and all I get is licorice. Unless it's red Twizzlers, I'm not a fan of licorice.
Boo. I really watned to like this one.


text: Hi all, I am having trouble understanding the sponsoring process.. For some reason, all my sponsored packages were flaged as NMU [sponsored by 2 developes]. I do not wish to blame anyone but there appears to be little in the amount of documentation for sponsoring packages. The maintainer's guide doesn't even specify the process [unless I missed something]. Could someone specify the exact sponsoring procedure? I'm going to guess here, but to sponsor, does the DD upload his/her compilation or the maintainer's? ie. which is correct: 1. Get packages and sources from maintainer. Unpack source. Package it with dpkg-buildpackage -k<id>. dupload. 2. Get packages and sources from maintainer. Check if they compile. Sign original .changes and .dsc and dupload their package Or are both wrong? Thanks, Adam

As a observer, it seems (to me at least) that Kay's intent not to enter into discussions with Marla only applied to the structure of Tibetan rugs with Marla and not "La-la-la I'm not speaking to you" in general.

Hi Kay
The short answer is that it's a pretty common woman's name and a very rare name for men.
Just a reminder: you said that don't want to engage in conversations with Marla, so please don't make comments to or about her.

Steve, my comment was to EVERYONE, just using Marla's address to me as an example; that is as much as you and others may assume that Kay is a woman's name, where I come from it is not, just as Robin / Robyn is not, as I have said before IIRC, re 'Kay' on this forum.
Anyway Steve, this is just getting all too silly, so if you are so on the horse that thinks I have it in for Marla just go ahead and ban me from your forum. Pity you couldn't have seen the same / been more objective / said the same to her when she was so rude to me some threads ago now.
But as Ned Kelly said "Such is life". Or as Nepali's say 'Khe ghani' i.e. 'what to do'.
If people cant handle or be made aware of the truth, or a direct point, then so be it.
Sorry about that but I stand 100% by ALL my posts.
Best rugs and goodbye, Mr Kay
PS. Let me add if I may, where I come from the word 'assume' (or simply assuming anything) translates to making an ass out of u and me. Again, goodby in advance, and it was enjoyable while it lasted. As we say at the beach "see you in the tube" (if you should be so lucky as to have a wave / tube nearby that is).

You could have avoided this ridiculous unpleasantness by just answering the question instead of invoking an "appeal to authority" logical fallacy and then behaving badly. I've been looking at rugs for decades as well. That doesn't confer knowledge. It confers experience.
It's not unreasonable to ask what criteria someone uses to make a judgement.
You can ban yourself, Steve doesn't need to do it. Or, you could let bygones be bygones.
Your call; you have made many interesting posts but the unnecessary sidetracks reduce their appeal.

Wow. Looks like I picked an interesting time to check Turkotek
Interesting rug Kay! (interesting conversation, too!)
My thoughts are that this carpet is not Tibetan, it is Chinese, of some variety and made recently for purely decorative FLOOR purposes and has probably never seen the back of a horse. Even a really BIG horse.
Just my 2 cents.
Anyway, for some reason this has put me in the mood for some Niu Rou La Mian. I may have to duck into the city the weekend for a bowl of hand pulled noodles!
Also I hope it is not Goodbye, as I enjoy your Tibetan/Chinese rug posts and conversations very much.

Shame on me
OK, Ill agree a stupid move on my part opting out / per-empting what appeared to be (and is on other forums) a ban for not towing the line, and being and FNG to boot. But ..thats what it looked to me from where I was sitting and like where it seemed to be heading with what appears to me to be a general attitude here that Marla (however much an expert in some areas she may be) can say no wrong / could not possibly be in error" attitude. But like I said earlier, I found her both condescending and insulting when I posted (in another thread) my position re faded rugs / beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I figured whats good for the goose is good for the gander. But I was wrong I see.
So, to be polite, in an impolite situation, Ill answer / comment on some input since I left, from the most recent down to previous.
Jeff Sun> My thoughts are that this carpet is not Tibetan, it is Chinese, of some variety and made recently for purely decorative FLOOR purposes and has probably never seen the back of a horse. Even a really BIG horse.
Re underlined, EXACTLY! As anyone with ANY knowledge of Tibetan carpets should be able to see in a heartbeat / glance (of the back).
Jeff Sun> Just my 2 cents.
Nah, at least a dollar in this situation given your interest of rugs from said areas in question.
Chuck Wagner> You could have avoided this ridiculous unpleasantness by just answering the question instead of invoking an "appeal to authority" logical fallacy and then behaving badly. I've been looking at rugs for decades as well. That doesn't confer knowledge. It confers experience.
As someone wrongly noted before (Jeff maybe) that it was not personal, it is, that is I want nothing to do with answering ANY question or post by Marla, nor would I bother to intrude / participate in any of her threads (no loss there, I here shouted in the background) given her previous performance with regards my position / opinion re beauty is in the eye of the beholder and / or who is she to tell me what I should or should not like and why statement. Forgive yes, forget not!
Chuck Wagner>It's not unreasonable to ask what criteria someone uses to make a judgement.
The criteria of EXPERIENCE as you yourself said with that particulate type of rug. I have no interest really in the intricacies of how a jet engine works, just that it does, same really for most east of the Durand Line weaving's, as it is so so easy to tell the difference (just from the back) of the different types it is not even worth discussing, even though Marla can quote chapter and verse re how they are woven.
Chuck Wagner>You can ban yourself, Steve doesn't need to do it. Or, you could let bygones be bygones.
Yeah, like I said that was stupid of me, mea culpa, but I dont expect any forgiveness as I stand 100% by what I have said prior to offering my resignation / 'spitting the dummy' (as they say in Oz) per se.
Chuck Wagner> Your call; you have made many interesting posts but the unnecessary sidetracks reduce their appeal.
Each to their own. I talk it like I walk it. But Chuck, you sidetrack's' comment seems to me to imply some sidetracks in more than just this thread. Care to elaborate or am I just readin' wrong?
Anyway, as Jeff (Sun) has said, that tiger saddle in this discussion ain't Tibetan, has never seen a horse, was made for the floor and to sell at a high price (so called tiger rugs of all shapes and forms are in very high demand today) to some unsuspecting buyer.
Enough said, at least by me. Maybe we should just move on with me again admitting my stupidity in resigning prematurely. But that's Steve's (yours?) call I suspect re banning, and others re 'moving on'.

Hi Kay
Over the 19 years we're been on line, only four people have been banned, although three of them were banned more than once after their bans were lifted. It takes a lot more than me thinking someone is a jerk to get the person kicked off. On the other hand, your civility is close enough to the edge for me to have set the software to put your posts into a moderator queue for approval (or not, depending on the content).
I'm not interested in engaging you in a debate and, quite frankly, I wouldn't have you as a guest in my home. Speaking as a participant, If you opt out of Turkotek it would suit me just fine.

1. Don't leave.
2. If you leave, or if your don't, send me your email (not really sure how to do that here) but I have turned on the v-card. It seems we share much of the same interests.
3. Don't leave.
Also, I ended not getting Niu You La Mian, but I did go to Nom Wah for Dim Sum. On a cold November day with rain spitting from the sky, Nom Wah is tough to beat. I hope you have a similar retreat (treat?) down in Oz.

Point/s noted, taken on-board (as I hope some of mine have been).
As for now, although it seems you yourself would rather me not here, and it is your forum after all, I'll stay for now if its all the same to you(?), and see if I can moderate what to me is just my Ozzie bluntness, but that others can oft find 'offensive'. But with all due respect, and no offense meant, no promises there given my long ingrained writing / bluntly talking habits.
Oh and Jeff, first thanks for your 'support' as it were. However I no longer live in the land of Oz, so no shrimps on the barbie for me, but rather salmon steaks (cold and/or smoked) and moose burgers in my neck of the woods now. Oh an pardon my ignorance, but what is the V-Card?

Some more examples
Here are a few more examples, for anyone still so interested, to show the region the tiger saddle rug is most likely from (or a copy thereof) and what kind of weave / area it is not from for that matter, i.e. Tibetan / Tibet.
Only pic that is mine so to speak is the Tiger rug, so apologies for quality / 'shape', colour, etc, of others.

A Brief History of Farmington and its Bank
The term "individual independence" has been associated with and intertwined with Farmington and its development since before the city was platted in 1834.
A small band of Pottawatomi Indians, tired of continual warring and bloodshed, showed their independence when they left the rest of their tribe and settled in what is now Farmington, opting to find a place where they could live in peace.
The first permanent settlers, the Jonah Marchant family, exemplified independence when they settled among the Indians in a deserted cabin they soon called "home."
The many residents of Farmington who offered their homes as part of the "Underground Railroad" showed independence and commitment to their beliefs and support of individual freedom.
The Italians, Slavs, and Lithuanians, who along with many others came to Farmington in the 1870's to work in the dangerous deep shaft mines, reflected courage and independence in supporting their families during difficult times.
And, while not as dramatic or life-threatening, the spirit of individuality and independence is still evident in the Bank of Farmington, which was chartered in January 1903 after being organized by a small group of investors who recognized the need for a local bank. Descendents of those original investors still have the majority of the stock ownership in the Bank of Farmington, giving true meaning to the term, "independent, locally-owned community bank."
The Bank of Farmington has today evolved into a full service bank, offering our customers virtually everything that a larger regional bank can offer. Even more than that, we offer knowledgeable, efficient, high quality service presented in a sincere and friendly manner. At the Bank of Farmington we know who you are, know you by name, and know and understand your banking needs and concerns.
With the addition of our Canton branch in 2007, we have grown to over one hundred million in assets. We realize that our continued success is attributed to the loyalty of the communities and townspeople that we serve. It remains the commitment of the employees and board of directors to provide our customers with the very best banking experience possible.

In 2009, more American children than ever are benefiting from school choice. According to a new report from the Alliance for School Choice, approximately 171,000 children in 10 states and D.C. are benefiting from private school scholarship programs -- an 8 percent increase over last year and an 89 percent growth since 2004.
Many more children may soon benefit from school choice, since a growing number of state legislatures are considering voucher or scholarship tax credit legislation. The Alliance for School Choice reports that 44 states considered private school choice legislation in 2007-08, six of which passed a bill in both legislative chambers.
In 2008, two states -- Georgia and Louisiana -- enacted private school choice measures. The Peach State created a new tax credit to encourage businesses and individuals to make donations to groups that award school choice scholarships. Louisiana launched a new school voucher program for low-income students in New Orleans.
School choice supporters have good reason to be optimistic thanks to increasing bipartisan support. Even larger legislative gains could be made in 2009 and beyond as evidenced by a growing number of Democratic state legislators backing school choice proposals. For example, Louisiana's new school voucher bill was sponsored by Democrats. In Florida, a third of the Democratic caucus backed a $30 million increase for the state's corporate scholarship tax credit program. State legislative chambers in Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island have approved school choice bills in recent years.
Outside politics, school choice measures may also be gaining increasing support from an unlikely ally: public school teachers. While teachers unions continue to actively oppose school choice, a 2008 Harvard University study for Education Next found that 65 percent of teachers supported tax credit programs that benefit both public and private schools. A third of polled teachers supported universal vouchers, and less than half opposed vouchers.
Moving forward, proponents of expanding parental choice in education face an uncertain political climate in 2009. Across the country, state governments are facing ballooning budget deficits. With tax revenues declining, state legislators may be focusing more on the difficult choices to be made instead of the new benefits to offer parents.
But lawmakers should recognize that offering families school choice can actually help states meet their budget challenges, since scholarships awarded are typically much less than what the public schools spend on each student each year. An evaluation of the fiscal impact of school choice programs between 1990 and 2006 found that scholarship programs have saved taxpayers $400 million nationwide. A fiscal analysis mandated by the state legislature found that Florida's corporate scholarship tax credit saved taxpayers $39 million in 2007.
Perhaps the biggest question for supporters of school choice policies in 2009 is the future of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. Since 2004, this federal initiative has helped thousands of low-income students attend private schools in the nation's capital. Academic researchers evaluating the program have reported that the opportunity to choose has improved parents' satisfaction with their children's school quality and safety. Moreover, the initial results of a testing evaluation show that students who were offered vouchers were benefiting academically.
One might think that these initial benefits would be enough to convince Congress to continue or even expand the scholarship program to let more disadvantaged youngsters participate. But instead there is growing concern that congressional Democrats are planning to end the program. The Washington Post reported in January that congressional leaders may be planning to include legislative language in the looming omnibus bill that would create new legislative hurdles for funding D.C. scholarships.
The future of the program may ultimately rest with President Obama, who has sent conflicting signals about his position on school vouchers. He would surely face scrutiny from the National Education Association and other liberal interest groups if he fights to save the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. But the growing bipartisan support for school choice measures across the country suggests that it's becoming easier politically for Democrats to support such programs.
Of course, more than any elected official, President Obama could fuel the growing bipartisan support for school choice, paving the way for new legislative measures across the country. What better way to give disadvantaged children across the country hope for a better future than to fight for the principle that all families deserve the power to choose a safe and quality learning environment for their children?

In a recent column, I described my January visit to Grand Forks, N.D., and East Grand Forks, Minn., which are also called "The Grand Cities" by about six people who are hoping this name will attract more humans to the area.
I went to the Grand Cities because I had poked some good-natured fun at the residents. They responded by good-naturedly inviting me up and formally naming a sewage pumping station after me in a ceremony that will forever remain a vivid memory in my mind, even though I have burned my clothes.

Super Rugby
McMeniman to start for Force
February 14, 2013
Hugh McMeniman will take his first step toward a Wallabies recall when he returns for Western Force against Melbourne Rebels in the Super Rugby season-opening fixture at AAMI Park clash on Friday.
Force coach Michael Foley will look to McMeniman to lead by example against the Rebels, particularly in the absence of injured skipper Matt Hodgson and the loss of Wallabies Nathan Sharpe (retirement) and David Pocock (Brumbies).
McMeniman, 29, spent the past three years season in Japan after shoulder and knee injuries over five seasons with Queensland limited his playing time to 29 appearances and 21 Wallabies caps.
Force coach Michael Foley said the 114kg powerhouse had the ability to play for the Wallabies again, with Test coach Robbie Deans seemingly agreeing by including him in the train-on squad.
"Nothing's changed too much about Hugh," Foley said.
"He's a couple of years older but he's still the guy who plays with unbelievable fearlessness. He has almost no regard for his body, which we've tried to temper a little, bit but once he gets on the field there's no hesitation."
Foley worked with Hugh McMeniman back in 2007, as a Wallabies assistant, and said the time the player had spent in Japan had given him a real hunger to play again.
"What's impressed me more than anything now is his level of professionalism," he said. "I think he maybe used to cut a few corners in terms of his preparation and doing all the things to get his body right. Now he has a real hunger to test himself and play for Australia again."

Dave Bolland's return from the severe laceration near his ankle has not gone near as smoothly as the Leafs would have hoped.
The gritty centre missed Monday's practice here, though the team is hopeful he will be in the lineup for Tuesday's date with the Lightning. The difficulty, according to coach Randy Carlyle, has been that Bolland continues to aggravate the injury — often in the middle of games — which puts him out of commission for long stretches.
"With Bolland, we've been taxed from the standpoint that he hasn't had the opportunity to play a lot of minutes and we didn't envision that," Carlyle said. "We thought that when a player comes back, the first couple of games he gets 10 minutes and then (you expect it to increase.)
"What's happened is he has aggravated it and it has bothered him. He's not hurting himself. It's just (with his) pain threshold he rolls his ankle and sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes to come back."
Those gaps in ice time makes Carlyle's line juggling difficult, especially on nights where he only dresses 11 forwards. Bolland has scored two goals in the eight games since returning from the November injury.
The Full Story
With his first full season in the NHL just about complete, Leafs forward Nazem Kadri said he has noticed a difference in the challenges, especially with the travel and variety of opponents given the return of games against the Western Conference.
"It's a lot harder — the travel and playing different styles of teams from each conference," Kadri said on Tuesday. "There's a lot of preparation and film and pre-scouts, but we're professionals and should be able to handle it.
"It's definitely different from flipping and flopping between the East and the West and certain styles. Obviously, that's no excuse. It's just a little different."
As for the team's current slide from a near sure thing for the playoffs to almost out of the picture entirely, Kadri said it has been difficult spending much of that time in Toronto.
"Getting out of the city and away from home has helped a little to get away from what's been going on for the last few weeks," Kadri said. "It has been really been hard on the players — just the tension and how things have been going. It's not like we want to lose."
Loose Leafs
With Jonathan Bernier injured, the Leafs had just one goalie make the trip to Tampa which meant recruiting a target for Monday's practice. The newest masked man was 32-year-old Tampa resident Nick Sullivan, who joined James Reimer for the afternoon workout. The team is expected to have Marlies goalie Drew MacIntyre in town for Tuesday's game against the Lightning … The lone Lightning win against the Leafs in three meetings so far this season came in the middle of Toronto's eight-game losing streak and featured a Steven Stamkos hat trick … Carlyle on the challenge of avoiding playing out the string with such slim hopes of sneaking into the playoffs after Columbus blanked the New York Islanders on Sunday night: "The motto for us is the next one is the most important one. That's the way it's been all year, that's not going to change. We're going to prepare our group to play the game that's necessary for us to have success."

He's not worth the salt of his tears
In the words of Admiral Akbar, it's a trap:
"Rather than thinking of this as a crisis, I think of this as an opportunity to come together," [John Boehner] said on CNN's "State of the Union," adding that he would not support tax increases as part of the deal…
Aw, he wants to deal…right, the Republicans are always willing to deal…
On "Face the Nation," Boehner invited President Barack Obama to join him in tackling entitlement spending, alluding to the House GOP budget that made major cuts to Medicare.
But, of course, as long as the poor and needy get screwed, it's all good…stepping on the "little people" makes sense to Republicans because they leave less of a stain on the carpet.
And what can the President expect in return?
Boehner has also ruled out tax increases as part of a deal for grappling with the long-term deficit
Ah, nothing.
This does seem right up Obama's alley though, I'm just surprised Boehner didn't wait for Obama to come up with it without asking.

DAHLONEGA - Chris Adams is stepping up to the college soccer ranks, accepting the head coaching job at North Georgia College & State University.
Adams, who spent the past two years at Clarke Central High School in charge of the boys' and girls' soccer programs, will head up the men's and women's teams at North Georgia.
''It is hard to leave a place that you have invested so much time, but North Georgia was the dream opportunity I have been chasing for the past 10 years,'' Adams said.
Adams began his coaching career in 1995 while an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, where he helped build the first women's soccer team. While at UGA, he was involved in every aspect of building the program from scratch. Following graduation Adams took a job at Jacksonville State University as the first assistant.
''I trained goalkeepers, ran practices, learned the business side of soccer and recruited full-time,'' Adams said. ''Head coach Lisa Howe allowed me to do some of everything, which really helped me grow as a coach.''
Adams returned to his native town of Athens in 1999 to manage a youth soccer program at the Athens Young Women's Christian Organization.
''I wanted to try and see if I could take young kids and get them off to a great start in soccer,'' Adams said.
After directing the program for two years, Adams was recruited to teach physical education and health at Clarke Central.

Council appointees on hold
Mayor Bill Chesen on Thursday filed petitions for removal of Aldermen Mary Jo Fesenmaier, Arleen Krohn, Penny Roehrer and Tom Spellman. He also immediately suspended them, barring them from secure areas of City Hall.
Chesen on Monday night planned to appoint Robert Flemming, Larry Magee, Michael McBride and Sturges Taggart to temporary replace the suspended aldermen. If they are appointed, they would be able to vote on whether to remove the suspended aldermen from the city council.
But attorney David Williams on Monday morning filed papers asking for immediate reinstatement of the suspended aldermen. He also filed a motion for a restraining order and a temporary injunction to prevent the mayor from appointing temporary replacements for the suspended aldermen. The motion also asks the court to prohibit the temporary aldermen from voting on action pertaining to the matter.
Judge John Race declined to act without a formal hearing including both parties, according to his clerk.
Williams said Monday afternoon he would try to file a motion with the District 2 Court of Appeals in Waukesha.
"It would be unusual if the court signed this order without the other party present," he said. "But these are unusual circumstances."
Williams said at a special Lake Geneva City Council meeting Monday night, he expects a hearing to be scheduled within the week.

Sometimes, studying Christian marriage from a textbook can be a bit dull, so Ms Marsh's Year 10 class took advantage of the Own Clothes Day last week to perform a 'mock wedding' in the Chapel. Rosalind was given away by her proud father, Sam, and her marriage to Jacob was witnessed by a small congregation of friends and family. The 'Temporary Chaplain', the Revd Hannah, conducted the service (pictured here with the mother of the groom).
Hopefully, these pupils will now find it easier to remember the vows in a traditional Christian service when questioned in the exam!

350 MHz Synthesizer and Clock Generator Comes in Small Shielded Table Top Case
Novatech Instruments, Inc. introduced Model 425A, a Precision 350 MHz DDS Signal Generator packaged in a small shielded table top case. The device generates sine wave, LVDS, and LVCMOS output signals simultaneously. The generated sine wave output frequency is directly programmable in 10 micro-Hz steps from 250 kHz to 350 MHz and includes a built in Prescaler and Divider for generating low jitter LVCMOS clock signals down to less than 2 Hz. The 425A uses the high performance AD9912 DDS IC which has 48-bit Frequency tuning, 14-bit Phase adjustment and a 14-bit reconstruction DAC. The high resolution DAC enables the 425A to achieve low harmonic and spurious distortion. In addition, the 425A has 10-bit Amplitude control and an internal 1.5 ppm temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) that can be phase locked to an external 10 MHz reference. Locking to a reference gives the device the same stability and accuracy as the reference. When multiple 425A units are locked to the same reference, they remain phase synchronous. A direct clock input up to 1000 MHz can also be selected.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach, College Station, TX, USA
We knew APO was the agency for us when we attended our first informational meeting. They believe in the same values as we do and made us feel very comfortable during the entire adoption process. Each staff member is caring, informative, and always available when we had a question or concern. We were overwhelmed with their commitment (working long and late hours) and follow up not only with us but with the birth moms as well. They made an experience that could be stressful and emotional into a memorable and amazing journey our family will never forget.

riage had been temporarily left on the
pavement by Mrs. Knight and upon her
return, for the purpose of placing her
child in it, she discovered it had been
stolen. A negro boy named Jenkins,
who was sent to the penitentiary
last moutli, stole a baby carriage in this
city on one occasion and cut the top
from it in order to convert it into a
wagon. It is hoped he has left no suc?
cessor hereabouts.
Anxious to Come Back.?Mr. Jos.
Specht, of St. Louis, has been in Wash?
ington for several days, presumably for
the purpo.se of patchiug up a reconcili?
ation between himself and wife, who
some time ago filed a petition for a di?
vorce, and to take further steps against
Dr. Gran by Howard, who is charged
with securing money from Mrs. Specht
under falses pretenses. Howard, who
is in Canada, is said to be ready to
come homo and face the charges against
him, but is unable to do so on account
of the lack of funds.
G A r u en Tin e v es.?Considerabl e
complaint is made by householders of
the fact that their grape vines and fruit
trees are robbed by mischievous ur?
chins. It is an ordinary occurrence for
housekeepers who may be temporarily
called from their homes to find upou
their return thnt their premises have
been entered and despoiled of fruit
during their absence. Many arc keep?
ing strict watch and should the depre?
dators be caught they will be made to
pay for their thieving.
Assaulted.?Frederick Plitt, who
lives in Alexandria county, was attack?
ed by two men on ^huter's hijl road
about half-past eleven o'clock last
night. Mr. Plitt struck one of his as?
sailants over the head with his caue
and afterwards ran back to this city.
He reported the matter at police head
quarters, and Officers Sherwood and
Howsou accompanied him to his home.

GREAT REDUCTION in prices at
At Pretzfelder & Co.'s, 530 King Si.
Another word to the good people of Alex?
andria. To those who were wise enough to give
ua a call and to inspect the offerings we have
been mating for the last few weeks, it is need?
less for us to say anything in the way of ex?
planation of what we arc doing. Our bar?
gains are more convincing than columns of
argument and our prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
backward, and who are suspicions of "sales"
gotten up now ai.d then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say a few words to-day.
Iu the first place wo want you to under?
stand that this is no "fake" selling out. It
isu't dono for pleasure, aud it isn't done for
prufit. Stem necessity caused the iustitutiou
of this sale. Stern necessity fixed tho prices.
Stem necessity again demands a cut in pi ices
regardless of the value, cost and desirability
of the Goods, Wares aud Merchandise we have
still on band
Tho law says that this estate must be speed?
ily wound up, and wind up is the word even
,-f wo have to practically give the goods awav.
Now, if wo have convinced you that this is
a bona fido clearing out, and havo gained
enough of your confidence to havo you be?
lieve that our object is to get rid of the goods
we have at any prices, we will, for the pur?
pose of convincing thoso who have uot visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE that
wo offer the bargains of a life-time, quote
some prices we have made on popular and de?
sirable goods. Figures, we know, don't lie. so
we will let them speak for themselves. Look
over our list carefully, and if you see anything
you want, cut out tho advertisement, and put
you finger on tho article aud come to us, and
you will got the stuff exactly as advertised.
To our numerous friends who have been in to
sec us so ofteu lately, we desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your
gain. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Watch our figures. Here goes:

12V3C. Now sold at 9c.

Space will not permit further numeration
in this advertisement.
After perusing tho prices given above, can
any ono candidly say that we aro not ready to
make good any promise we have made? Why,
we could sell to shop keepers at these'prices;
but we prefer to give tho people tho 'benefit
of thif opportunity. Our unprecedented suc?
cess heretofore in this sale makes us anticipate
a very lively week after this great cut, and
we therefore advjso thoso who intend to take
advantage of it, to call early, so wo can give
them the bonellt of a better choico and better
attention. The wido-a-wake man and woman
aro tho persons who get along best now; and
they aro asleep to their own interests who
will pormit this chance to go by without so z
ing the opportunity to profit thereby.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Local Latino leaders and immigrants in Dallas largely praised prospects for a legalization program for a portion of the 11 million immigrants in the U.S. unlawfully. Increased security at the border is a trade-off, they said in a news conference a few hours before President Obama is expected to unveil his own immigration proposal in Las Vegas.
But a legalization program, some said today, needs to cover those who have committed non-violent crimes such as misdemeanors and felonies for crossing the border unlawfully--just as a legalization program would cover those who faced civil offenses for the same actions. Immigration law contains many civil provisions, but increasingly its criminal provisions have been applied to the foreign-born.
Today's enthusiasm came with a warning.
"If you vote against us today and you take us out of our country...we will fight you in 2014," said Ramiro Luna, a 29-year-old who came to the U.S. as a seven-year-old from Monterrey.
Luna has applied for an initiative for young immigrants that would suspend a deportation and provide a temporary work permit. The initiative doesn't provide legal permanent status, though.
Immigration law is often compared to the tax code in its complexity. Today's news conference plunged into some of the detailed legal fixes that could be done.

The site allows students (past and present) to rate and review their University courses and other aspects of Uni life.
The idea of the site is to give future students a better understanding of the courses they are considering applying for.
Any feedback you have is very much appreciated! I'd like to know what people think about the usability of the site, any issues you notice and just what they think of KnowTheCourse in general.
I intend to use a Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/KnowTheCourse ) for promoting the website. I'd be interested to know what else people think I should do to increase the profile the site and encourage people to add reviews? I'm already struggling to get likes on Facebook, and currently being based outside NZ doesn't help!!
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Guidebook author Kim Fenske shares trail beta and photos from a Colorado classic
Story and photos by Kim Fenske
Castle Peak is a majestic fortress, diminished only by the magnificent company it keeps. Since the more renowned peaks of Maroon, North Maroon, Pyramid, and Snowmass lie close at hand, Castle Peak rests in relative peace.
From Summit County, Castle Peak Trailhead is a hundred miles away. Climb over Independence Pass, drop through Aspen, and turn from the roundabout to Castle Creek Road. Castle Creek Road leads to a jeep road that is the beginning of a six-mile ascent to the summit of Castle Peak. The abandoned silver mining town of Ashcroft is nestled among aspen meadows on Castle Creek Road, ten miles below the remains of the Montezuma-Tam O'Shanter Mine.

Kavinsky Returns, Shuts Out NWU
October 14, 2009
An early second half goal for Doane gave the Tigers a 1-0 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan on Wednesday evening. The win improved the Tigers' conference record to 5-3 while Wesleyan dropped to 2-4-2 in the GPAC.
Highlighting the evening was the return of Doane goalkeeper Chris Kavinsky. Kavinsky was injured against Concordia a few weeks back and missed four games plus the majority of the game against the Bulldogs. Kavinsky finished with three saves in posting the shutout.
Doane picked up their lone goal as Devon Strecker scored a goal in the 47th minute. For the game, Doane outshot the Prairie Wolves 17-5.
The Tigers will be at home on Saturday to take on Dakota Wesleyan.

I have decided that from now on I will have BUDs - Bleeding Uterus Days - whenever I have a period. I got the idea from this amazing website MUM - the Museum of Menstruation. There is a brilliant and funny long list of words and expressions used to describe periods...and that's where I got BUD from - well I found BUS (bleeding uterus syndrome).
I found MUM through visiting Mooncups website. Both Urban Chick and Your Emotional Neuroses Only Serve To Amuse use cups/ keepers to catch their uterus blood. I am going to look into mooncups for myself - I have recently managed to buy Natracare pads - hard to get hold of in the town I live in. Anyway, reading their posts reminded me of conversations I have had with friends about the term "sanitary protection" to mean products for catching blood - as if women's uterus blood is unsanitary and people have to be protected from it? So what do you call pads/ tampons?

strictly speaking, i am not yet the proud owner of a mooncup, but i do mean to get one
everyone i know who has one raves madly about it and i like the idea of cutting back on environmental waste and no more buying tampons!

When I first read Anne of Green Gables I thought Cordelia was pronounced cor-dell-ee-ah, but my school librarian corrected me. It took me awhile to get used to the real pronounciation but now I love it! I still pronounce Azalea az-uh-lay-ah, like my sister's friend does (that's where I first heard the name) though I've since been told it's uh-zay-lee-ah. I do like that pronounciation, just not as much- maybe because I'm not used to it?~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3
Favourite names:
Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Scarlett, Felicity, Juliet
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Oliver, Darcy, Orlando

It's a bit embarrassing, but I used to think that the "G" in Gemma was pronounced the same was as the "g" in "get." Oops!♥ Henry John, Charles Wesley
