text: Surely this can't be right, I just saw this guy's comment on Amazon.co.uk about the official component cable: A must have for any Wii user with a HDTV, the Nintendo official component cable will produce the best quality image possible on the Wii. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that PAL Wii games will support progressive scan like the US, it's definitely good news to see this item readily available on UK/EU launch day, and a good indicator that us Nintendo fans will be blessed with progressive scan this time round! What's that all about? I thought it had been confirmed. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Small business consultant Nancy Staton was sent Athena's favorable breeze Thursday night -- to borrow from Greek poet Homer's ''The Odyssey.''
Staton was named the 1999 Athena Award recipient during the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce annual dinner meeting at the Classic Center.
Wesley Middlebrooks of Heyward Allen Motor Co., which sponsors the Athena Award, presented Staton with the bronze sculpture, citing her work as area director for the University of Georgia Business Outreach Service and Small Business Development Center, her chamber involvement and her community service as factors in her selection as the Athena winner from among seven nominees.
Middlebrooks said Staton's ''diversity of activities and dedication to the Athens community'' made her an ideal candidate for the award.
In Staton's work as a director of BOS/SBDC, he noted, she has developed programs to help women succeed as small business owners, and she provides support and consultation to any of the area's small business owners and entrepreneurs hoping to start businesses.
In accepting the award, the 12th one bestowed in Athens, Staton said humbly, ''This is something I never thought I would ever get. I always admired the people who got it.''
Staton said she loves Athens and loves the work she does helping small businesses.
The Athena award is named for the Greek mythological goddess Athena, who embodied the virtues of wisdom, courage, strength, enlightenment and the useful arts, among other attributes.
Nominees for the award must submit information describing how they meet the Athena's criteria -- professional accomplishments; community service, especially for mentoring others and providing a role model to encourage women to reach their full leadership potential; and civic involvement, including chamber work.
The other six Athena nominees, who were recognized Thursday night, were Jake Eisele, Marilyn Farmer, Esther Maddux, Gwen O'Looney, Ann Shepherd and Lois Van Horn.
Nearly 400 chamber members gathered for the chamber's annual meeting and watched a photographic parade of past chamber presidents accompanied by a quick history of the chamber's progress.
Later in the evening, Orr and current chamber chairwoman Lois Van Horn acknowledged the contributions of several past presidents who were in attendance Thursday night. ''Their vision and work is going to carry us forward,'' Van Horn said. ''We could not end this century and we could not go into the next century without saying thank you.''
Following Orr's review of chamber accomplishments in 1998, he passed the symbolic gavel to Van Horn, who promised an effort to recruit 200 new members to the chamber in 1999.
Then Van Horn asked Orr and chairman-elect Henry O'Pry to update the audience on the progress of building new headquarters for the chamber.
Orr reported that approximately a half-acre of land was purchased in the summer of 1998 at the corner of Hancock Avenue and Pulaski Street, across from First Baptist Church. He said the chamber's building committee is currently working on the appearance and needs of the structure.
O'Pry asked for membership input on what the building should look like. Tentative plans call for matching the look of downtown Athens.
Van Horn expressed a desire to have ample seminar and conference space to accommodate members and community groups.

Letter(s) from Mary Nhiany to Eddie (UK)
Letter 1
My Dear,
How are you today and I hope you are find indeed,
I hope you will not be discouraged with this news, I am an orphan residing in a refugee camp as a result of current war going on in my country Sudan in which all my family members were killed by the rebels when they attacked our house one mid-night early last year.
And luckly for me I was in the school when the incident happened which is why I was able to escape been killed along with my family members. Seeing the dangers in staying in Sudan with my step mother I had to escape to a west African country called Senegal where I was admitted in a refugee camp. For a brief information on myself and my family.
My name is Mary Nhiany, aged 24 single and never married, first daughter of late Engr. Noni Nhiany, who was until his unfortunate death President/chief executive officer of Nonican Petroleum Company Ltd situated in Southern Sudan. Before the incident I was an undergraduate of University of Khartoum, Sudan studying International Relations.
This camp is head by a catholic Rev. Father And to enable you talk me on phone which I will appreciate so much, you can call his number Tel (+221-765308559) tell him that you want to speak to Mary from Sudan at Women Hostel, Block A4 Room17, within minutes he will send for me from the camp to speak to you. His name is Rev. Fr. Amos Victor, his Email address is (firstname.lastname@example.com) Here in the camp the life is so terrible as a result of no good food, Clothing, Medication and Accommodation.
But it is better than when I am dead, which is why I am praying to God to assist me to provide a good person who will assist me to go out of this place which is one of the reasons why I contacted you. All legal documents relating to this inheritance will be provided.
On your reply I will give more information on how to help me with the remaining of my family assets which are in my possession which I am ready to confide into you based on your personality I have seen on your profile.
Meanwhile, I attached here with my photos and if possible would like to know more about you.
Yours lovely,
Letter 2
My Dear,
I received your mail, it is grateful for your positive reply.
This is how to help me based on my first mail to you. When my father was alive he deposited US$3,500,000.00 in a leading Bank and used my name as Next of Kin to inherit the money when he died. This may sound so strange but that is the only way for me to survive since I cannot help myself now based on my current situation. I have been praying over this that God should bring a good man who will not betrayed me by using this opportunity that I am looking for a help.
And now that he id dead, I have contacted the bank and informed them about his death and requested how I can withdraw the money as next of kin. This is information is known only between Rev. Fr. Amos Victor, you and myself.
The bank asked me to come with bank account documents and my bank account where they can transfer the money for me. But unfortunately, as a refugee I do not have the right to operate a bank account here in Senegal and even do not have International passport to go to the bank as they requested.
In the alternative, the bank advised me to look for a reliable foreign partner who can receive this money for me in his bank account. And to get a reliable person who will not be wicked and cheat me, I prayed and fasted before contacting you, because since I do not know you, I need God to direct me. And as soon as the money transfers the money into your bank account, you now withdraw little from the money and send to me to get my travel documents to meet you in your country to finish my university education.
So if you have agreed to this arrangement, I will give you 25% of the money and also you will manage the rest of the money to invest in a good business in your country.
If agreed I will like you to provide these information to send to the bank as my foreign partner as requested by the bank.
1. Full Name;
2. Contact Address;
3. Telephone No.
4. Occupation;
On receipt of your above personal information, I will give you the full information of the money and contact of the bank where the money is deposited for you to contact them for confirmation.
Honey, this is what I appealing to you to help me. I am really suffering here in the camp.
Waiting for your urgent reply,
Your lovely,

The Philadelphia 76ers retired Allen Iverson's No. 3 at halftime of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards.
Iverson's banner was raised between Maurice Cheeks' No. 10 and Charles Barkley's No. 34 at the Wells Fargo Center.
"They all wanted me to talk about how much y'all loved me," Iverson said, "but trust me, the feeling was mutual."
Iverson officially retired from the NBA in October after last playing in 2010. He won four scoring titles for the 76ers and was the 2001 MVP when he led them to the NBA Finals.
"I am Philly," Iverson said. "It's always going to be that way."
The Sixers wore special "Iverson Forever" patches on their jerseys and Iverson's 3 on their pregame warmup shirts.
The Sixers' retirement gift to Iverson was a boat named in honor of his nickname, "The Answer."
Iverson joined Cheeks, Barkley, Wilt Chamberlain and Julius Erving among the eight retired numbers in franchise history.
Former coach Larry Brown, who both clashed with and loved Iverson over their tenure, sent a videotaped message.
Iverson was the Sixers' No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft and spent his first 10 seasons in Philadelphia. He also played for Denver, Detroit, and Memphis before returning to Philadelphia in 2009-10.
In his fifth NBA season, Iverson averaged 31.1 points, was the MVP of the All-Star game and took the franchise all the way to the finals.
Iverson is 21st on the NBA's career scoring list with 24,368 points over 914 career games. He scored 30-plus points 345 times and was an 11-time All-Star.

Last Man Down : The Fireman's Story: The Heroic Account of How Pitch Picciotto Survived the Collapse of the Twin Tow Paperback
by Richard Picciotto
The No. 1 bestselling true story of Battalion Commander Richard Picciotto who, on 11 September, survived the collapse of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.On September 11th, Battalion Commander Richard 'Pitch' Picciotto was the highest ranking fire department commander in the twin towers when the North Tower fell. Pitch and his men were on the 17th floor racing upward when the world seemed to explode around them.
From his intimate knowledge of the Towers gained during service after the 1993 WTC bombing Pitch was able to lead the firefighters to an alternative stairwell to floor 12 where they were met with a horrifying sight - more than 50 workers too crippled, too old, or too weak to have made their way out on their own. Pitch ordered his firefighters to form a human chain and pushed and cajoled them down the stairs.
They were in the 7th floor stairwell when the tower fell, and Pitch and a handful of survivors woke to find themselves buried on the landing of floor 2.
This is the story of how Pitch Picciotto led his men and the survivors to safety.

Bidding on the price of a hotel room doesn't limit you to "opaque" bids where you don't know the specific hotel you've "won" until after you've made a nonrefundable booking. That's the Priceline model, and certainly the most popular.
But, fortunately, it's not the only bidding model. I know of four online agencies that allow you to bid on rooms at hotels that you know from the get-go.
This appears to be the most fully realized of the group I checked. It lists hundreds of hotels throughout the U.S. and most of the rest of the world, including some pretty small cities. And, at least nominally, lots of hotels appear to be playing.
In London, for example, a search returned a list of some 1,100 hotels, of which more than 400 were open to offers for the test dates I entered. They ranged from one-star tourist hotels to five-star luxury properties.
You can filter the list by star ratings, but not by location within a metro area. You just have to hunt through the list to find those in your preferred area.
In this system, you — and, presumably other travelers — enter a nonrefundable and nonretractable bid. If a hotel has multiple bids for the same specific dates, it accepts the highest bid at the time the auction closes, and the hotel asks you to pay. It's not clear whether some hotels may accept more than one bid, but they may.
This site, as its name suggests, concentrates on weekly and monthly accommodations. As far as I can tell, its inventory is limited to U.S. cities, with nothing in Canada or Europe.
You don't actually bid rates, yourself. Instead, you post where and when you want to stay, with a one-week minimum, and the agency runs your proposed stay by participating hotels, any of which returns an offer to you if it's interested.
The agency claims to have more than 30,000 "partner" participating hotels. When you get one or more bids, you can choose the best offer and accept it. If none of the bids appeals to you, you aren't obligated to buy. You pay nothing up front. As far as I can tell, you can't specify a preferred location within a metro area.
This site concentrates on hotels in Cyprus, Indonesia, Morocco, the Philippines, and Thailand. It employs a more conventional bidding process.
You check its list of participating hotels, and if you see one you like, you enter a bid. The hotel either accepts your bid or returns a counter offer. The system allows you three bids per inquiry. You also have a "buy now" option.
You can filter by location in some cases, and you can select from a list of 10 accommodation types, such as "hotel," "villa," or "serviced apartment."
When I checked, the inventory seemed to be quite limited. It reported only one hotel in Bangkok; most of the Thailand offers seemed to be villas in resort areas.
RoomAuction.com concentrates on hotels in the UK, although it lists some throughout the world. When I checked for London, the site returned a long list of hotels, but only eight were accepting bids — the others were simply fixed-price bookings.
None of the eight bid acceptors was a standout; most were modest, and several were well out of the city center. You can't filter the list at all.
The process is straightforward: Select a hotel and submit a nonbinding bid. You can bid on more than one hotel at the same time. Accept the bid you prefer.
This is my first look at transparent bidding sites. I haven't actually tried any of them, so I'm obviously not vouching for any. I'd like to hear from readers who have some experience with using these or others.
Meanwhile, the strategy is obvious: Before you submit a bid on any given hotel, check out the best available rates through any big search engine. Then bid something at least 25 to 30 percent below the lowest posted price and see whether you get any bites.

text: So my buddy and I were chillan last night. Typical "us" night. smoke a bowl, play some cards, watch tv,...fuck. anyways. so last night I was buzzin pretty good when I put his cock in my mouth. I just went to town, got lost in it. pushed my limits and shoved his cock as far down my throat as I could without throwing up. Literally the ultimate of balls deep. HOTTT. He got to lay back an enjoy the sights. He loves to watch me and I think that makes it so much hotter knowing hes got his eyes on me the whole time. And he knows how much I love being talked to while doing it. He gets a fucking A++. So in and around the 15ish minute mark (it had to be at least an hour or so long), he starts mumbling stuff. most I didnt catch (being so into it) but I kept hearing "best... blowjob... ever..." and other assorted phrases of enjoyment. He had to of told me like 4 or 5 times that I was giving him the best head ever and when I finally took his cock out of my throat and licked it all clean, he said it again. clearly this time. so. fucking. hot. Then, I got fucked hardcore. so ridiculously good. came SO hard. my body was just limp after. but mustered up enough energy right after that to put his cock BACK in my mouth to finish him off. then got fucked again this morning before he left. felt like sharing. VERY pleased with myself EDIT**m def a girl! lol

Was wondering if you all could suggest some good travel apps for finding cheap hotels, famous attractions along the way, etc. Much appreciated? Also if you have any fun apps, that would be great too. Like I am going to use Google Maps Editor to plot our points of interest, and then later add photos of the stops we made. FUN FUN!

More than 20 months after its launch, people still stare at the new MINI. BMW's new baby might lack the original's innovative charm, but a combination of sound design, cheeky good looks and an affordable price means the novelty hasn't worn off. It's always worth a quick peek anyway, as with potentially 50,000 different MINI derivatives and just 56,500 on Britain's roads, it's possible you might never see the same MINI twice.
BMW's clever attempts to keep the pot boiling means different colour schemes, trim packs, engine outputs and interior specifications. The latest £365 bespoke MINI luggage, for instance, will keep you feeling slightly supercilious should an identical MINI turn up in the hotel car park. Oh, and last week, there was the launch of the Cooper S "Works"...
If you are old enough to have survived the 1960s and remember anything at all, you'll recall Mini Coopers. Twice world champion Formula One constructor, John Cooper was a friend of Alec Issigonis and had driven the earliest prototypes of his brilliant little car. Even so, Cooper had to go over his friend's head to secure a trial production run of 1,000 cars, which were specially tuned and launched as the 997cc Mini Cooper in 1961 - the hotter Cooper S came two years later. John Cooper earned £2 for each car that bore his name until, after 150,000 cars had been sold, the lucrative arrangement was ended by BL Chairman Lord Stokes in 1971, unfairly claiming that the Cooper name bumped up insurance premiums.
Not that Cooper was the only firm breathing on Minis. Right from the start of its life, rivals proved equally adept at making the Mini go faster. If Cooper stole the limelight, it was the meticulous engineering of Daniel Richmond at Downton Engineering, Arden Engineering, Broadspeed and many others who made the old Mini sing its heart out.
Fast forward 40 years to BMW's new MINI Project. In the face of much criticism from former Mini leading lights, BMW desperately wanted John Cooper on board. Just as well, then, that the late John Cooper liked the new car and its makers - his name had been re-adopted by the old Mini in 1990. With the exception of the MINI One, all new MINIs carry the Cooper moniker, and, from next month, under the steady hand of John's son, Mike, Cooper "Works" tuning kits will provide additional urge for the naturally aspirated Cooper and, more explosively, the supercharged MINI Cooper S.
Wait a minute though, aren't other tuning kits available? Well, yes, they are. In Germany, the new MINI is seen as just another BMW, which brings it to the attention of formidable battalions of specialist tuners who couldn't give tuppence for Cooper or its history. Hartge, from Beckingen, near Saarbruken, is one such and with our usual tact and diplomacy, we borrowed an example of its MINI tuning and turned up at the launch of the Cooper S Works.
It's worth recalling here the genesis of the MINI and in particular its engine. When BMW and Rover announced the new MINI Project in 1998, the world's press was shocked to find the new car would not use Rover's innovative, all-aluminium, twin-cam K-series engine, but instead a Brazilian-built, iron-block, single-cam 1.6-litre motor, based on a Chrysler Neon unit. Gadzooks! It looked like this new wunderkind would have more in common with the old A-series-powered Mini than anyone had first thought.
Telegraph Motoring spoke to former BMW deputy head Wolfgang Reitzle shortly after he had signed off the MINI engine and after he had left BMW for Ford. "It's OK," he said nonchalantly after inquiries about how nice the engine was to drive. "No, really, it's all right. And it's cheap, it really is cheap."
The fact that the engine has surpassed all expectations (particularly in the Cooper S) has been a pleasant surprise, but tuning often exposes weaknesses and harshness: would these souped-up MINIs drive like concrete mixers?
Standard Cooper S
Starting with the £14,600 standard car, we drove a route of mixed, good and bad roads and all came to the same conclusion: why would you want more power? Out of the box, the Cooper S beguiles you with a dizzying mix of razor-sharp steering, precision handling and outrageous throw-around appeal that always makes the long way home the best choice.
On the standard 16in wheels and Dunlop tyres, road grip is prodigious and there's a fine balance of engine power and safety so that you aren't continually driving the car with the traction control or dynamic stability control activated, or wrestling with the steering wheel under full power. That said, the ride is only just on the right side of the orthopaedic surgeon's waiting room, and, on badly rutted roads, the suspension lacks the sophistication of rivals such as the Ford Focus.
Raw numbers don't really convey the visceral eagerness of the engine, which is force-fed air and fuel at the times you really need it, such as when overtaking. Its mid-range punch is wonderful and you often find there's no need to change down to accelerate hard: just push the throttle. Which is just as well, as at the top end of the rev range the power tails off markedly and the engine voices its complaint with a gruff mechanical clatter. Some drivers will love the throaty exhaust and whining supercharger, but it can be intrusive when pressing on.
So why spend extra money on a tuning kit when the Cooper S is such fun in the first place?
"That's exactly what my wife said," commented James Williams, owner of the Hartge-converted MINI we tried. "Then, when the car came back, she climbed behind the wheel and it was a very different story."
Hartge Cooper S
James's wife was right, although only when the car is under way. Until then, the Hartge conversion is virtually indistinguishable from the standard car. Indistinguishable, that is, except for the optional smoked glass windows, 17in wheels and tyres, clear rear-light lenses and shark-fin GPS aerial on the roof - this all-black Mini is in full Colombian import/export agent trim and all of it came from the official MINI options list, not Hartge.
Inside, the satellite navigation system takes over the central speedo binnacle and the velocity meter sits above the steering column alongside the rev counter. The sat nav screen looks uncomfortably like a square peg in a round hole and you lose some of the interior's retro charm in the process, but the repositioned speedometer is a lot easier to read.
At idle, there is nothing in the engine note to indicate the car is modified in any way. Engage first gear, pull out of the car park on the Sussex Downs and the throttle action gives nothing away either. But floor the throttle at about 20mph and you start to understand where all the money has gone. It's not that all hell breaks loose, or that the engine comes over all noisy and untidy, it's just that the acceleration is shockingly quick compared with the unmodified car.
You can feel the big Pirelli tyres just fighting off the tendency to spin, the traction control warning lamp flickers and before you know it, the rev counter has hit the limiter and you need to change gear. This feels like a serious performance car, but what's so surprising isn't so much the sheer power of the conversion, but the refinement it brings at high revs, almost as though in the two days' fitting time, Hartge sneakily dropped in a different engine.
The big wheels and low-profile tyres didn't really do much for the experience. On a track, the extra grip would be worthwhile, but on the road they make the car feel edgy and darty, and the ride is even harder. We also noticed the Hartge exhaust system had an unfortunate boom at certain speeds. Birds Garage said that it was the first full Hartge system it had fitted, as most owners opt for their own side-exit, four-tailpipe exhaust system, which doesn't suffer those problems.
Cooper S Works
First impressions of the Cooper conversion is of an engine more eager and more visceral than the standard car. Even on ordinary urban roads, the Cooper S Works is champing at the bit, not with a shunting driveline but more like a terrier bred with a whippet. The huge amount of mid-range torque just waits to be unleashed and you need to keep a very close eye on the speedometer until the road opens up.
Although it was shod with exactly the same wheels and tyres as the standard car, the Cooper Works had a problem with high-speed bends, where it would lurch uncomfortably into the corner as if the front dampers were shot and convey a strange yawing sensation as though the back end was about to break away sharply. However, it felt fine at lower speeds, or sharper corners, where the car could be thrown in with abandon. Like the Hartge, the extra power would activate the traction control system coming out of roundabouts and junctions, but the Cooper Works car felt less edgy on its standard 16in wheels and tyres.
The exhaust system is certainly more rorty than the standard car's, although the major contributor to cabin noise is the supercharger, which whines like a four-year old near an ice-cream stall. Some owners will love this racket, which sounds like a Jack Knight straight-cut gearbox, but it would be very tiresome on a long journey.
Engine conversions such as these eat into a manufacturer's natural caution as well as its safety and durability margins. Extra power and torque eat gearboxes and put additional strain on the rest of the driveline components, while forced induction and the extra cylinder pressure it creates pollutes the engine oil quickly. If you boost an engine and then disregard basic oil change services, you're a fool.
As far as the warranty is concerned, the Cooper Works has BMW's official backing and every clause stays in place. The Hartge is unauthorised, but that doesn't mean the warranty is worthless. The engine and driveline are covered by Hartge and the rest of the car will be covered by BMW. The official £100 TLC five-year service and maintenance package is more circumspect, but numerous BMW dealers will honour its letter even with an unauthorised but well-known engine conversion. In nearly 14 years of dealing with Hartge and its agent, Birds Garage, we have never once heard of a disgruntled owner left high and dry by BMW or Hartge.
Before you decide your Cooper S needs more power, however, drive it in standard form for a few months - its 161bhp is more than enough to make it a very fast car with a virtually unburstable feel. And do remember that pushing 200-plus horsepower through the front wheels is asking a lot of the car's roadholding, not to mention its driver. At no time was the standard Cooper S unable to keep up; the driver just had to work (a lot) harder.
Of the two conversions, the Works car is more expensive, with a bigger mid-range punch, and that Cooper name will sway more than a few to make the choice. We preferred the more subtle Hartge, with its brilliant engine management tweaks that reduce the harshness of the Brazilian engine and a stunning top end, which mean you can drive your MINI as a normal Cooper S until you want to grow horns and extend that needle up the dial. With the standard, 16in wheels, we suspect it would be even better.

Don't worry, I still have to catch up on the news over the past two weeks. There was something about ESOP's that I am feeling a need to read.

"The beginning of a new year is an opportunity for improvement. It makes little difference what the past has been, for we are not to look back to see if the furrow be crooked. What matters most is the sanctification of the now moment. Time is so precious that God doles it out second by second. If life in the past has been evil, the new year is an opportunity for penance. In such a way is time redeemed. If life, however, has been virtuous, the new year is an opportunity for greater self-perfection."
~ Fulton J. Sheen, Bishop Sheen Writes, New Year, Toledo Blade December 28, 1958 (Sec 2, Page 5).

text: Profession of Conscience is an exposition, analysis, and application of a political-ethical tradition in, of, and for the life sciences, from molecular genetics to clinical medicine to environmental biology. The goal is avoidance of the fate of physics--the previous "super science"--whose technological transformations several generations ago so enhanced its political and economic value to governments, societies, and corporations that it lost control of its own conduct. Profession of Conscience discovers within the life sciences a long-evolving profession-specific standard for political action and activism, tracing it from conception in Hellenic and Roman imperial times, through birth and baptism in the Scientific Revolution, then through a naïvely optimistic adolescence in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and finally into a self-conscious maturity, solemnized at the Nuremberg Trials but tested ever more subtly since, even down to the present day. The protagonist is a set of ideas. The product is "life-sciences liberalism."

Target Style Series: How To Style A Pencil Skirt
September 21, 2012 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
Pencil skirts have this classic-yet-sexy Audrey Hepburn vibe that never goes out of style – and if not already, should be a staple in your closet. They're easily worn from day to night and with affordable picks like the ones by Merona from Target the options are endless!! Contrary to popular belief, the pencil skirt is actually universally flattering with a cut that looks long and lean on any shape (with the right pieces). I'm curvy in the middle, so I need my tops to fall right at the hips. Check out my selections below!
For a trendy office look, the animal print skirt, a pretty orange blouse for a pop of color, a belt to accentuate your waist and wrap up your look with classic loafers.
For night, try pairing some basics with a pair of sexy animal print heels and a bold necklace .
See how the Target Fall Collection is designed to take you through a season of stylish looks at Target.com/Merona.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
12:18 30 November 2012
An SAS soldier who was found to possess a 9mm Glock gun and over 300 rounds of ammunition is free, and has received a reduced sentence. Danny Nightingale has been handed a 12-month sentence which has been suspended following Thursday's appeal.
Mr. Nightingale, from Crewe, greeted his family after he was released from the military detention where he has been kept since early November. He was originally handed an 18-month sentence.
His father, Humphrey Nightingale, has said that the family are "overjoyed" but also that they intend to clear his name.
Mr. Nightingale has explained that the reason for him having the Glock, which was found in Hereford, was because his soldier friends gave it to him as a present. The SAS member has had training in Iraq.
It is understood there has been much support shown for Mr. Nightingale, with some people putting an emphasis on the fact that he has suffered medical problems. This relates to claims that a brain injury meant he was unable to remember he was in possession of the gun.
The soldier was held in military detention because reportedly, he previously pleaded guilty to a court martial.
Mr. Nightingale's lawyers are hoping to overturn the conviction after having already submitted an application for this.

Obama's Brother Accused of Beating his 12 Wives While Running for Office
'Malik Obama has international connections which can attract investment to build factories and manufacturing industries,' trumpets the text. 'Malik Obama is a new leader who will bring new direction to our county.'
The leaflets add that charity does not alleviate poverty — it can only be halted by 'empowering poor, youth and women by tapping their potential'.
Certainly any 'tapping of potential' appears to consist of Malik chasing, marrying and divorcing young local women.
Female members of his extended family accuse him of being a wife-beater and philanderer, who seduced the newest of his estimated 12 wives while she was a 17-year-old schoolgirl — a crime in a country where the legal age of consent is 18.

Since my cruise in 2009, I have been on a total of 21 trips out of state in 21 months. It seems the Cruise started it all and now I can't get enough travel. The most condensed stretch included 5 trips in less than 7 weeks. Some business and some pleasure but ALL trips had an element of leisure mixed in… otherwise, why do it?
I'm not sure that I can say that all these trips are the answer to a quest to find joy and happiness. What I can say is that I feel most relaxed and content when I am staring at something serene and beautiful. I can also say that NOT having a planned trip in the near future leaves me feeling anxious… restless… perhaps even confined.
I find that travel to and from my destination is the least desirable part of any trip and I tend to look for ways to shorten the pain of that (i.e. direct flights or short layovers). I also tend to look for flights where I don't have to get up at 4am to head out. I suffer through the flights with humorous podcasts of "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", or by sleeping on the plane. Once I arrive, it's all good from there.
Everybody looks for different things in a vacation. For example, "M" wants to learn new things and discover local cultures. She also likes to have quiet time to read. My youngest brother typically wants to be DOING something or GOING somewhere when we travel together. It's all about the journey, right? As for me, I tend to want to sit and soak. Anything that is visually appealing I can sit and stare at for hours. Anything where I can relax and think (or optionally NOT think) is ideal. BTW, I also put a lot of emphasis on good food.
Whenever one trip comes to an end, I need to have another one planned and ready to go or I start to become anxious again. Right now I have two trips planned and booked, so I am in a pretty good mood.

Start with a competitive sport that requires simultaneous offense and defense, tap into a primal instinct to kill or be killed and then add the threat of physical pain for failure. The physical demands are actually far less than that of basketball or football. But the mental factors leave me gasping for breath at the end of each round.
So, I guess it's not an exaggeration to say that it's "so much of a rush it literally takes your breath away". Clearly it's not from the physical exertion. I mean, physically I probably covered no more than 40 yards over a span 10 minutes. No possible way that could make me break a sweat, let alone leave me panting. Adam nailed it when he said that it must just be from adrenaline rush. So if the rush leaves me gasping for breath, how much fun am I having? Certainly more than an average Saturday.
I also think this is the first time I've played with a group of people like this. We are talking about some of the smartest people I know. I think that raises the stakes a bit. I usually count on people doing something stupid but with this group, no dice. Man I had so much fun today, and with the people I most enjoy having fun with. Six hours later I am still not coming down from the high.

I don't know a word that has the same emotional connotation. Is it negative or positive? To me it has a "bitter-sweet" quality which makes it difficult to endure yet hard to resist.
I have been talking with GC about going back to our home state someday and driving around to the houses we used to live in as kids (unfortunately there are several). I expect it would be a very nostalgic trip. It would probably be all four of us going, if NC was interested. While it would be a lot of driving, I'm sure it would spark some early childhood memories which would probably make for excellent conversation (hands down, my favorite part of our trips).
I hope it comes to pass.

Looking in the wrong place
Posted on May 17, 2008
I am learning that I've been seeking the result and not the source. If I were to feed my family as a coal miner, would I dig through the ground looking for food? or would I dig for coal.
Is that the problem? I'm not sure I am motivated to look for coal, but I want the result. How do I change that thinking?

In a letter to friends and family…
I wanted to let everyone know that "M" graduated today with her Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Her modesty would not allow her to make a big deal of her accomplishment by sending out announcements, however, I know many of you have emotionally invested in her journey and would appreciate knowing of her achievement.
This milestone in "M"s life not only represents several years of academic effort, it also represents the fulfillment of a dream she has had since childhood. As many of you probably know, "M" has always known that she would one day be an elementary school teacher. This knowledge has been with her since she was 7 years old and anyone that has seen her teach can understand why. "M"s passion for children comes straight from her heart and is evident in every lesson she shares. She has an amazing ability to command the kid's attention and respect without them ever questioning her appreciation for them as individuals. The comments of admiration that she frequently receives from her current and former students, is a perfect reflection of her heart for each one of them. Teaching is truly what "M" was created to do.
Our entire family is very proud of "M" and her accomplishment today. Her effort to graduate with highest honors (summa cum laude) reflects her true commitment to being the best teacher she can possibly be. Though to me "M" has always been a teacher, I am very excited to see what will happen as she makes this her career. Please pray that she will receive the right position where she can apply her talents in the most effective way.
Thanks to all of you who have supported "M" in her journey.
With utmost gratitude for your love and support,

Typically, we are willing to put in a lot of effort or endure a lot of tribulation to get to the prize, to win the race, to experience the joy. But when the payoff is not evident, we can find ourselves asking if it's worth the effort.
So, what makes THIS race worth running? We jokingly say, "It beats the alternative". I agree, but is that the best answer we can come up with? Where is the Joy in that? I'd like to think there is a better prize to be had. And not just at the end, but along the way.
Some days we get a pleasant reminder. I like those days.

Perhaps she will never know just how happy her words made me.
Want to know a secret?
Ever since I was a little girl, I made a declaration to the world that I did not care what I looked like. I wore whatever clothes were comfortable, did my hair any way I felt like (often not at all), and never, ever wore makeup. As far as I was concerned, it didn't matter at all to me whether I looked like a monster or a maiden. This I told the world. And they believed me.
But I lied.
Because I know that when I get home from art class, and I look in the mirror and see I have yellow paint in my hair, a smudge of green on my nose, and various smears of colors all over my shirt and arms, I secretly know I look positively beautiful.

And so it begins…
Posted on April 26, 2008
I purchased the domain almost 5 years ago with the idea that I wanted to explore what it was in life that brings people joy. The obvious intent, to bring greater joy closer to home.
The story of how I got to that place is as long as the journey itself, but I suspect I will share pieces of it in due time.
So, if the quest began so long ago, why start the blog now?

New project: "SHIFT- Support Systems for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Transformation"
Ecological entrepreneurship will be the key for a competitive market in Europe. Sustainable technologies, products and services are not only profitable for the environment but also a chance to create new industries. The University of Oldenburg is a partner of the Borderstep Institution for Innovation and Sustainability in the new project "SHIFT - Support Systems for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Transformation". Researchers form the Linköping University (Sweden), the Aalto University (Finland) and the Univerity of Oldenburg (Germany) try to find out how to support international "green" innovations. The project is funded by the Europeen Union.

Innovation Communities
Teamworking of Key Persons as a Success Factor in Radical Innovation
Self-organising networks have become the dominant innovators of complex technologies and radical innovation. The growing need for co-operation to ensure innovation success calls for a broader understanding of what makes innovation projects successful and requires new concepts. The book introduces the new concept of "innovation communities", defining them as informal networks of like-minded individuals who act as innovation promotors or champions. These key figures come from various companies and organisations and will team up in a project-related fashion, jointly promoting a certain innovation, product or idea either on one or across different levels of an innovation system.The publication presents findings from surveys that demonstrate that networks of champions are a success factor in radical innovation. Five case studies of noteworthy innovation projects illustrate why the collaboration of champions can make innovation projects more successful. Furthermore, the book presents hands-on methods and includes best-practice cases and guidelines on how to develop innovation communities.This publication comprises empirical findings and practical experiences that are valuable for the following groups in particular: Entrepreneurs; Innovation, R&D and network managers; Innovation and strategy consultants; Innovation and start-up intermediaries; Innovation researchers; Government officials and politicians responsible for R&D and innovation programmes and funding.

Painting marathon
by kjdeangelis , October 4, 2009—08:25 PM
So I made it a point to block out today. Going to do nothing but paint. If I want to do anything with my art, I need some paintings. So at 10:30am I broke out the canvas, oil paints and all that goes with painting. The sun was out and I did not want to give up one of the last beautiful sunny days of the year, so I decided to paint where I could feel the sun on my face. I went out in my breezeway to set up. I spent the next seven hours painting away. I worked on nine pieces and feel like I am on my way.

Effect of Insulin Sensitizer Therapy on Atherothrombotic and Inflammatory Profiles Associated With Insulin Resistance
Individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) are disproportionately affected by atherothrombotic
disorders, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular diseases.
Atherothrombotic disease risk and mortality are also increased with metabolic syndrome, a
constellation of risk factors present in more than 34% of adults, even in absence of
diabetes. Yet, large clinical trials of diabetes therapies have shown that conventional
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, specifically hyperglycemia and hypertension, do
not fully account for increased CVD risk associated with DM.
There may be an etiologic link among insulin resistance, inflammation and thrombotic events.
This study seeks to determine if certain two diabetes medications (the insulin sensitizing
medications) will affect certain biomarkers (or laboratory tests) for CVD in individuals
with untreated DM or impaired fasting glucose.
Patients will be screened for inclusion into this this double-blinded, randomized),
placebo-controlled study. If inclusion criteria are met and exclusion criteria not met,
patients will be enrolled in the the study. Half of the subjects will be randomized (like
the flip of a coin) to take two insulin sensitizing, anti-diabetic drugs pioglitazone
(Actos) and metformin (Glucophage) taken together for three months and the other half of the
subjects will take corresponding placebo (dummy) tablets.
Laboratory measurements will be obtained on the morning(s) following the two in-patient
overnight stays in the Mayo Clinic Clinical Research Unit. The first stay will be at
baseline and the second stay will be 3 months after baseline. Insulin sensitivity will be
measured in the morning following a standardized meal the preceding night, and after an
overnight fast.
The changes (from baseline to 3 months) in insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, the lipid
profile, thrombotic markers and inflammatory markers will be determined and compared between
the two arms of the study (placebo versus insulin sensitizing drugs).
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity as Measured by Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR)
Insulin sensitivity was measured the morning after an overnight fast during an in-patient stay in the Clinical Research Unit & was determined by the mean GIR necessary to maintain euglycemia during a hyperinsulinemic (1.5 mcIU/kg of FFM per minute)-euglycemic (85-95 mg/dL) clamp. The clamp is an 8 hour process where a hand vein is catheterized to collect blood samples and intravenous lines are used to infuse glucose, saline, insulin, phenylalanine and amino acid solutions at at pre-specified times/rates. The mean GIR was calculated as the rate per kilograms of fat-free mass (FFM) during 4 hours of steady-state (hours 4-8 of the 8 hour clamp) reported as micromols/kilogram of FFM per minute. The FFM was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. Insulin was infused with 5% essential amino acid solution (3mL/kg of FFM/hour) to prevent the insulin-dependent decrease of amino acids during insulin infusion.
