It is a combined galaxy of Babylon 5 and Mass Effect (I'll need a Co-GM for this part) + maybe a few other settings that fit. It will be a Babylon 5 Earth, but all the ME races can be encountered, and so too can the Citadel. This set primarily set post the disappearance of the First Ones (they appear to have left), but things are most definitely not right what with the drakh plague sweeping across the Earth, the Excalibur searching across the galaxy for a cure. Earth is that desperate that another Excalibur is being built - in fact Garibaldi was being somewhat duplicitous, and pragmatic, when he said there were only two. But as he is fond of saying-
"Everyone lies."
Another menace is beginning to reach across the galaxy, wholly mechanical in nature, but no one has yet survived any form of meeting. Planets have just gone dark, and all that remains is death, whole segments of the population have vanished, while others lay dead. No one is quite sure why some are taken and others are left to die. So far it is a mystery. All of the usual polities fear an attack from the unknown - and each other. So far the Interstellar Alliance holds, and it seems that between Delenn and Sheridan, both their combined knowledge and diplomacy are keeping things together. But cracks are forming.
Narn and Centauri argue amongst themselves. EarthForce are preparing for war, but lack personnel and resources resulting in a more than usual paranoia.
All-in-all it is a rather a mess.
Then the Gates were discovered, totally instantaneous superluminal travel to virtually anywhere in the galaxy. As one would expect of such a prize all the races squabbled over it, luckily it was a Ranger that found it, resulting in IA jurisdiction, something which helped calm the situation down, but only slightly. Before long another station was being built near it, but it was not just to control it, but this led to other complications - you could only journey to another gate - one that could be across the other side of galaxy.
It seems that Mr Garibaldi was ever the resourceful individual and managed to get some readings from the Gates allowing the reverse engineering of some of the surrounding shield, as such most ships now have shields, albeit not that powerful. Not long after a cure for the drakh plague was found, and humankind once again continued to expand and grow in numbers.
It was far faster than both hyperspace and quantum space. Yet still planets continue to go dark, becoming lifeless wastes. Some believe there is an errant First One race left behind - yet Sheridan flat out says they're wrong knowing the Lorien would not lie to him, yet even he suspects that while it is unlikely a First One, someone has likely got access to one of their WMD's and activated it, and it is on a course of destruction.
For this you can choose three ships-
1 x Carrier
1 x General Ship
1 x Battleship
In light of the power power nature of this it will limit the polities and factions available.

New era Eastern Mediterranean?
By Joseph Szyliowicz and Sigurd Neubauer, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Joseph Szyliowicz is a professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver. Sigurd Neubauer is a Washington, DC-based defense and foreign affairs specialist. The views expressed are their own.
Celebrating nearly a decade as Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed confidence in his 2011 election victory speech that newly emerging political actors across the Middle East would look to Ankara for leadership, revealing a clear ambition to establish his country as a preeminent power in the region. However, nearly fifteen months later, instead of achieving this goal, Turkey appears increasingly marginalized, lacking the ability to shape events even along its own southwestern border with Syria and Iraq. Indeed, Turkey's "zero-problems" foreign policy has resulted in the aggravating of its relations with Iran, Iraq and Syria.
Moreover, as the Syrian crisis lingers into its second year, President Bashar al-Assad's embattled Alawite regime struggles to contain a rapidly increasing Sunni insurgency, and a particularly serious toll has been taken on Turkey as policy stirs domestic violence and dissent. It has also had to accommodate approximately 200,000 refugees who have crossed the border for shelter against successive Syrian air strikes.
As is now obvious, Turkey's policy was based on a series of miscalculations. Erdogan's initial support for al-Assad, while quietly calling for political reforms, was not only ignored, but Syria's subsequent turn to Iran for assistance while relying on Russian diplomatic cover at the United Nations has created new problems for Turkey. Turkey now has an even starker reminder of its limited ability to influence developments in the Middle East.
While the Syrian crisis has brought the Eastern Mediterranean to a dangerous suspension, a strong incentive for Turkish-Israeli reconciliation is emerging as the Jewish state fears that the conflict could inflame sectarian tensions in Turkey, Iraq, and Lebanon, spread bio-chem weapons to terrorists, and endanger Israel's fragile -- and disputed -- Golan Heights border. Turkey Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu recently described Syria as a "risk to its neighbors."
Aside from converging interests on steering Syria towards a path of peace and stability, Israel and Turkey not only enjoy political stability in a region plagued by turmoil and instability, but their respective leaders also benefit from robust domestic support. If not a game changer, a new chapter in Turkish-Israeli relations could arguably further pressure al-Assad to step down while strengthening regional initiatives, spearheaded by the Arab League, to bring about a Syrian political solution. However, even though there are signs of a renewed interest by both Erdogan and Netanyahu in improving relations, a shared perspective on the strategic issues is unlikely enough to bridge the significantly strained bilateral ties culminating in the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, in which Israeli commandos reportedly killed nine ethnic Turks.
Moreover, rapprochement talks solely focusing on the Syrian crisis would be a strategic mistake for both Turkey and Israel as the two regional powerhouses could positively change the strategic landscape of the eastern Mediterranean region, marked by an end to long standing conflicts such as those involving Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.
In the background of regional instability prompted by the Arab Spring lies the discovery of extensive natural gas deposits, which is creating new tensions and aggravating old conflicts. Current industry estimates suggests that roughly 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 122 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas are estimated to be found in eastern Mediterranean waters. Preliminary estimates suggest that gas deposits in Israeli waters, accounting for an estimated 16 trillion cubic feet, could potentially fulfill Israel's gas consumption for decades. Greece, Cyprus, and Lebanon also possess large deposits.
But securing the greatest benefits from this bonanza remains a challenge. Ankara insists that Nicosia does not have the right to solely manage the island's energy resources without providing Turkish-Cypriots a "fair share." Israel and Lebanon, meanwhile, are feuding over an 850 square kilometer disputed maritime border. And, as Turkish-Israeli relations deteriorated, Israel undertook a strategic shift, realigning its foreign policy with economic interests by forming a strategic alliance with Cyprus and Greece and abandoning its efforts at cooperating with Turkey to assist it in becoming the major transit route for natural gas shipments to Europe. Given Israel's new orientation, it is possible that Turkey views Israel's gas discoveries not only as a missed economic opportunity, but as a strategic threat.
Ironically, the existing tensions mask the degree to which these countries can benefit from cooperating to exploit this rich new resource. The simplest way to meet Europe's needs for additional supplies that are not controlled by Russia is by a pipeline from the new gas fields. However, constructing such a pipeline while avoiding Turkish waters is, at best, difficult.
Although the outlines of a "grand design" that benefits all the parties can easily be conceived, actually moving in that direction will be difficult. Turkish-Israeli relations are the cornerstone of the region's stability, but although there are indications that Turkey and Israel recognize the importance of improving relations, and have taken some small steps in that direction, if reconciliation is to succeed then an Israeli apology over the Mavi Marmara incident is clearly required. This should be possible, especially given Netanyahu's strong domestic standing. Turkey would reciprocate by ending its public hostility towards the Jewish state.
All this could be followed by Turkish Greek, Turkish-Cypriot, and Israeli Lebanese discussions. Forces within Lebanon, including Hezbollah, may have an interest in resolving the maritime boundary dispute with Israel, while the U.S. has advanced various proposals towards that end. The U.S., however, can and should play a greater role, as must the E.U., which has been remarkably quiet to date. It should follow up its recently announced willingness to revitalize negotiations over Turkish entry to the union and work actively to resolve the Cyprus issue.
Although it is possible to envisage a new era in the Eastern Mediterranean, existing tensions and the history of the region do not bode well for such a scenario becoming a reality. Nevertheless, a remarkable opportunity for great economic gain and a mutually rewarding strategic infrastructure exists for Turkey and Israel in particular. In the event an understanding is reached, the two countries will arguably be better suited to influence events in the Levant and beyond.
By focusing on stabilizing the eastern Mediterranean, Erdogan's stated "zero-problems" objective could partially be met. For Netanyahu, improving ties with Erdogan coupled with easing Israel's embargo of the Gaza strip could also help lift the Jewish state out of its diplomatic isolation. But whether the political leaders inside and outside the region possess the wisdom, the perseverance, and the ability to seize this chance remains to be seen.

As a beginner, I was handed a full go board. And, somehow figured it out.
A beginner friend wants to start "small" and something like 1/4 of the board.
Personally, I think that we should start with the entire board.
As a beginner, I was handed a full go board. And, somehow figured it out. A beginner friend wants to start "small" and something like 1/4 of the board. Personally, I think that we should start with the entire board. |
There is a lot of discussion on whether starting on 19x19 or 9x9 is preferable, the general consensus tends to 9x9. Personally, I started on 19x19 but would have preferred 9x9. As a beginner, you first need to understand the most basic melee fighting tactics (atari, ladder, snapback, basic life and death, etc). Those can be learned on both big and small boards, but small boards avoid introducing complex strategic issues and make for faster games that are easier to review. You probably should stick to small boards until you are familiar enough with the game to stop making "obvious" mistakes (crawling with a dead group on the first line, playing out ladders, stuff like that). | |||||||||
If you have played go for a while, a full board can seem like a natural place to learn. Obviously it is possible; So that asks the question: "Why do so many people learn on a 9x9 board?" and "Why does a 9x9 board exist at all?" I have found, (past 10 years of teaching Go), that a 9x9 is the right place to teach people. There are lots of reasons, (that you will probably find in the other answers - "get through your first 100 games quickly"), but my top reason is fear. 19x19 lines looks like 18x18 squares to someone that has learnt to play, almost all other board games. The mind can boggle at how complicated that must be; A 9x9 looks like 8x8 squares, which is the same dimensions as some other games use, (though they are mostly tactic based games and Go adds strategy into the mix.) So to sum up, some reasons to learn on a 9x9:
| |||
A 1/4 board (11x11), is not a standard size, so I do not believe that any official setup for black handicap stones exists. Some confusion exists on what a quarter board is though, as I have seen a 9x9 also called a quarter board. The handicaps for that board are listed here. | |||||

Jonathan Bernier didn't get much of a chance to prove himself while backing up Jonathan Quick in Los Angeles, but the 25-year-old has created a bit of a goaltending controversy in Toronto with his fast start. The Maple Leafs host the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday, and coach Randy Carlyle joked last week that he was going to let the media decide whether Bernier or incumbent James Reimer should be his top netminder. "I always let you guys make those assessments," Carlyle told reporters. "Because you're so good at it. You guys are great, you know? ... So I don't even have to do it. You guys do it for me."Bernier (4-1-0, .946 save percentage), who yielded three goals on 116 shots in his first four games, started his career-high third consecutive contest Saturday and wasn't as sharp in Toronto's 6-5 overtime victory over Edmonton. The Atlantic Division-leading Maple Leafs have won five of their first six games in recording their best start since the 1993-94 team won its first 10 games. Minnesota hung on for a 2-1 victory in Buffalo on Monday for its third straight win and continues to keep pucks away from its goaltenders with its league-leading 21.6 shots allowed per game.TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), RSN (Toronto)ABOUT THE WILD (3-1-2): While goaltender Niklas Backstrom recovers from a knee injury, backup Josh Harding (3-1-0, .948 save percentage) has allowed one goal in each of his three starts - all victories. Backstrom accompanied the team on its four-game road trip, but it is unclear whether he will be ready to play Tuesday. If coach Mike Yeo decides not to start Harding on back-to-back nights, he could go with Darcy Kuemper, who has served as the backup since Backstrom was hurt.ABOUT THE MAPLE LEAFS (5-1-0): Goaltending has played a huge role in Toronto's quick start, but the No. 1 line of Tyler Bozak, James van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel also has come flying out of the gate. The trio has combined for nine goals, while van Riemsdyk and Joffrey Lupul - who each scored twice Saturday - share the team lead with five apiece. The Maple Leafs have killed 20-of-22 penalties and their power-play unit also has been solid, scoring seven goals in 24 chances.OVERTIME1. Toronto C Dave Bolland scored in overtime Saturday and has three goals on 12 shots.2. Minnesota LW Matt Cooke leads the team with six points and has five (two goals, three assists) in his last three games.3. Maple Leafs LW David Broll, a sixth-round draft pick in 2011, recorded his first NHL point in his second game when he assisted on Lupul's first goal Saturday.PREDICTION: Maple Leafs 3, Wild 2

Hotel nice and modern, room comfortable, great location. Parking extra cost is a negative, breakfast order was mediocre for cost and not entirely correct, and we requested a good harbour/boardwalk view (anniversary) but while we could see the harbour, we basically faced the other rooms/interior and got to listen to the elevator on our wall.

Great location in hotel I have patronized since its opening in the 1990's. It has been renovated since my last stay with marked changes to the lobby and restaurants...not all for the better. Completely wasted space overlooking the water has replaced the old waterfront restaurant and the lobby bar has been converted to a multi-use lobby bar, sports bar, […] restaurant etc. It achieves none of the above well. As for a weekend resort, massage and other spa services are not available Saturday or Sunday in spite of promotion as a resort connected to a casino.

Many problems with our hotel room key too at 11pm after we'd been travelling for 12 hours. Good location, but wouldn't stay in this hotel again. Overpriced!Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

the concierge level is not that is should be, not open on Saturdays and Sundays only open for Breakfast until 9.00 am and again open from for snacks from 5 to 7 open until 9 but only for coffee.

We recently enjoyed several nights in Halifax and the location of this hotel was perfect. Easy access to the downtown/waterfront area and within walking distance to most everything.

"2 Day mini vacation"
The hotel is very nice, and in a great location, right on the waterfront. The room and service were top notch. The only complaint is that we should have had more than 1 bath towel per person in the room, and wine glasses should have been in the room as well. We had to call down for these to be delivered to the room. For a hotel of this class I would […] have expected these things to be there, although they were delivered to the room very quickly after our request. Overall it was a great stay, we plan to repeat again next summer. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
the girl who checked me in at the front desk wasn't very helpful or friendly. I was shocked to pay an extra $50. per day for a dog.

"Nice, but be prepared for additional expenses"
The hotel was clean, comfortable, and convenient, and a reasonable price, expect for additional charges that kept piling up. A huge deposit was taken upfront for each day of the stay. Parking was a significant additional cost, and not included as was stated on the expedia page. Breakfast was not included, unlike most competing hotels in this price range […] and region. There was no fridge or microwave in the rooms. The music and people at the bar next door could be heard late into the night. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. Indoor walkway to the casino and proximity to the waterfront area was convenient. Overall, it was a nice place to stay, but had the feeling of being nickled and dimed to death. For being the most expensive place in town, I expected more. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

We took the Halifax tour, the Peggy's Cove Tour and the Lunenburg Tour. We visited the Farmer's Market, the beautiful gardens and walked around Halifx downtown.Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Overall, Nice Hotel"
Nice hotel. We didn't have a good experience when we checked in at 1am. But other than that, it was great. We had water view and the bar across the sidewalk was loud until 1am the first night but after that, they quit at 11. Not the hotel's fault. Parking is expensive, but I think that's pretty norm for Canada.Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Very Convenient!"
I stayed at the Marriott Halifax Harbourfront because it was right beside the site of my wedding reception. I was able to find a good deal online, check in early, check out late, and when I mentioned it was my wedding day we received a breakfast voucher for two. The room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. The server at the hotel restaurant […] was an absolute sweetheart and just the icing on the cake of a great hotel stay.

"Not worth the high price."
This hotel is not worth the money they charge. Everything was extra- breakfast, parking. I felt like I was staying at a two star hotel, not a 4 star. Also, the executive king room we booked on the Internet turned out to be a room designed for wheelchairs- no bath and a shower too small to shower in. Not the room I had in mind when I hear executive king. […] Rooms are plan - nothing special. I have stayed at other 4 star hotels in Halifax and have had much better service and amenities.

"Disappointing experience"
Will never go to a mArriott again altho in the past have been just fine. Halifax Marriott lost power in the middle of the night. They said it was the town's problem not theirs. At $250 a night I would think they would invest in back up systems that cover more than elevators and hall lights. Thank goodness on the third floor. Would you want to get in […] an elevator that is operating on a back up system? Elevators and hallways never air conditioned. Very warm weather so room got warm, heated pool got cool, hot tub got lukewarm. Went specifically so could swim and so husband with broken collarbone could experience some water therapy. Paid extra to get a hot breakfast...with no power in kitchen, had a continental instead. All very disappointing. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

The location of the hotel was excellent--right on the water. Staff was very pleasant for the two nights we stayed there. One issue: we did not expect our bed linens to be changed; however, the bed was not made which was a bit surprising.

The paid self parking was full so they charged me for additional valet parking that I did not ask for. $50 to park is excessive. Also room was dreadfully hot as the power went off and AC was not working.

A Florida family says their 18-year-old daughter was charged with a felony and expelled from high school as a result of a consensual, same-sex relationship with another student.
Kaitlyn Hunt started dating a female classmate at the beginning of the school year when she was 17 and the girl she was dating was 15. According to an account posted to Facebook by Kaitlyn's mother, in February, just after Kaitlyn turned 18, she was arrested on felony charges at the behest of her girlfriend's parents. The specific crime was sexual battery on a person 12-16 years old.
Kaitlyn's mother believes the charges were motivated by anti-gay animus:
They were out to destroy my daughter, they feel like my daughter made their daughter gay. They are bigoted, religious zeolites [sic] that see being gay as a sin and wrong, and they blame my daughter.
But Kaitlyn's problems did not end there. Her girlfriends' parents appealed to the school board and had her expelled from Sebastian River High School. Kaitlyn's mom reports that the State Attorney, Brian Workman, has offered Kaitlyn a plea deal of two years house arrest and one year probation. Kaitlyn has until next Friday to accept the plea deal or face a trial.

WIWW - color pop
Awesome facial expression on this one...anyways, do you have trouser jeans? I feel like there's just something about them that is so classy. I got these awhile back at a garage sale and am so glad I splurged the $4 for them. The cardigan is fun with that ruffle down the front, and I added a pop of color with yellow accents.
When I first started the whole What I Wore Wednesday craze, I snagged a bunch of blazers thinking they'd add some depth and layering options to my wardrobe. Well I don't really wear them alot because I'm not sure I'm a blazer type of person...but I tried it on this day - - green blazer, white sweater, pop of coral in the undershirt...
And I guess sticking with the color pop theme, here's an outfit I wore over the holidays with a pop of red - in the necklace and the socks peeking out of the boots. I definitely think I'm more of a cardigan wearer versus the blazer - I felt much more at home in this outfit:
So - - let's hear your thoughts on Blazers - do you like them, do you wear them?? How about trouser jeans??

I love the outfits! I too went through the blazer craze... I thought they would give me more options and I could pair more things with them... but I discovered I am more of a cardigan type person. BTW I love yours! And the trouser jeans are so cute... they are just what my wardrobe is lacking and I didn't even know it until now! ;) I must get a pair!! LOL Have a great day Mandy!
www.piggyinpolkadots.blogspot.comBlazers... I have a love/hate relationship with them. I've decided that on a lot of people, they look really good. But I never feel comfortable in them. So I've decided to enjoy them "from a distance." I admire when someone has a pretty one on, but I'll probably always pass on buying or wearing another one. I'm like you - that last outfit is so my style. I feel best when I'm dressed like that. And it's seriously, seriously cute. It's my absolute favorite out of the three you're wearing.
ReplyDeleteDefinately depends on the blazer since the syle says it all! I was actually thrift shopping today and wondering the same thing about myself. I'm such a light sweater wearer instead. But I do have a couple of blazers I like and I feel comfortable in. I should share them on my WIWW since I haven't done it in so long! Thanks for sharing. LOVE your last outfit the best!
Comments are awesome! - - I reply to every question via email (if your email is linked to your comment) and I really really appreciate each comment!!

sentiments I would point out that god had nothing to do with these deaths.
They were caused by pure thuggery and criminality the like of which was prevelent whenever English teams crossed into Europe throughout the 70's and 80's.
To think some still hark back to those good old days, and the atmosphere that existed back then.
The atmosphere of hatred and fear both inside and outside the grounds.
We should remember and mourn the dead Italian fans and be glad at least that those days are long gone in the Uk if not in places like poland and the Ukrain.

Bio and Links
I started out here on this site many years ago, and entered a few ancestors. Then returned a couple of years later, added more ancestors and decided to try and contribute to the site by photographing at a local cemetery. After returning to my home state some years ago I became more active in my endeavors. My ancestors are mostly from Ohio and Pennsylvania, and I have tried to enter as many ancestors, relatives and friends that I can find resting places for.
I am also currently working on recording cemeteries in my home area, as well as those in Blair Co, Pa., my area of interest. My particular passion is recording stones that are 'trying hard to soon become unreadable'.
I try to put as much application into stranger's graves as I would those of my own family, as I consider this a labor of love.
I am a "no-dispositions-unknown" contributor
Please note - I try to act on SACs within 72 hours. If I do not respond within a week, feel free to resend; I may have missed it.
I will not make links, however, to burial unknowns
In the past I have been very liberal with transfers, including many out-of-guidelines transfers. I loved turning memorials over to family.
Sadly however, having been 'burned' a number of times recently, I am rethinking that policy. Most of the memorials I have happily transferred over have had not one iota of additional information added by the transferee, aside from links, often times to 'burial unknowns.' When things ARE added, they are frequently cut and paste entries from Ancestry or FamilySearch indices, making the memorial unattractive and about about as personable as a baseball score card. Often too, the transferees get bored and wander away from the site, abandoning their memorials and when I find new info to add they never reply.
If you request an out-of-guidelines transfer, I will review your current memorials to see if you are good stewards of them, and base my decision on that. I am very happy to add additional information to 'flesh-out' existing memorials, and if you work with me on that I may later reconsider a transfer that I did not initially grant.

John Reading at Glendale, Akron
Hi Zella!
You have taken a wonderful photo of the grave of John Reading, Find A Grave Memorial# 85154805. Awhile back my husband and I looked and looked and could not find his stone. He was in Company C, 120th OVI. I have been researching the 120th Ohio Volunteer Infantry for the last 13 yrs in order to identify the men and tell about their lives. I would like permission to use your photos on my site and on any CD or print copy of my research that I will give to the Wayne County library in Wooster OH. I always give credit for the photos.
Thanks for any help.

As far as the village of Newlyn....its south of Paul village at the top of the hill and anyone searching would know about the location of the other villages. Walking distance if you can get enough wind to go up the hill. There in no cemetery in Newlyn so most were buried in Paul or St. Clares in Penzance.
Next town over Penzance 1 and a half miles along the coast line.
Have you been to Cornwall?
Its a great place to go I got to live there five months.

We are showing you the Japanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Onekama, MI
I don't like crashing.
I do not like it in any sense.
I especially don't like it when it is my fault.
One way to look at it is that the more time you spend on the bicycle, the greater your chances are for taking a little sit-down in the middle of the road. But I think part of the problem is that our attention spans are shrinking. In the time that it took to write these past few sentences I have checked my email no less than twice. Both Twitter and Vimeo have been checked for new activity. None. I even looked at my own blog, which I know for a fact that I haven't posted anything the past few days. Why can't I simply pay attention to what I'm doing?
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that the almost-century M22 ride had one turn on it. One. Well two actually, but only because of a construction detour. So, there we were, midway through the turn when my front tire left the pavement for the sandy shoulder. The sand mixed with dirt was soft enough to wash the wheel right out and put me directly underneath my compatriots trailing behind me. Maybe no one should ever ride with me again? Just a thought.
But, I guess there's a lesson in that. Pay attention.

CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.
Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.
"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.
His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor—and alive.
Wow. This reminds me of that scene from "Heroes" when Claire Bennet, whose body spontaneously regenerates when injured, wakes up on a cold table with her torso butterflied. You can see that clip—not for the squeamish—here; "Heroes" is back for Season 2 in a week.

Here's a Saturday surprise from TMZ, by way of a hat tip from the GeekHeeb.
Hot priests are so last year! The hottest calendar for 2008 is the Men on a Mission calendar, full of hot, shirtless Mormon men. What would Joseph Smith, Jr. say?! The "devout dozen" jumped off their bikes long enough to pose for the controversial day keeper, each of the LDS lotharios having just returned from missions around the world. Go west, young men!
The calendar and other products can be found at MormonsExposed.com. I prefer the "Family Values" t-shirt.

Phillip Carter, who knows a thing or two about the English language and about the situation in Iraq, calls the substance of President Bush's national address last night "a pig wearing makeup."
We are basically sowing the seeds of civil war with this strategy, and doing little to mitigate the risk.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is where we stand today. When President Bush announced the surge in early 2007, it had a simple idea at its core: to secure the population in Baghdad and Anbar in order to facilitate political progress at the national level. Security was always a supporting task in this strategy; the main goal was political. Unfortunately, the political strategy has failed, due to the inability or unwillingness of the Iraqis to resolve fundamental questions at the heart of their society. That's not a ding on them; these are hard questions that any society would be taxed to solve. Now, we're stuck. The White House is trying to do damage control by taking credit for other successes which sprang from the surge, but the overall situation speaks for itself.

BANGALORE, India—The world's richest Muslim entrepreneur defies conventional wisdom about Islamic tycoons: He doesn't hail from the Persian Gulf, he didn't make his money in petroleum, and he definitely doesn't wear his faith on his sleeve.
A native of Mumbai, Azim Premji has tapped India's abundant engineering talent to transform a family vegetable-oil firm, Wipro Ltd., into a technology and outsourcing giant. By serving Western manufacturers, airlines and utilities, the company has brought Mr. Premji a fortune of some $17 billion—believed to be greater than that of any other Muslim outside of Persian Gulf royalty.
Such success, Mr. Premji says in an interview, shows that globalization—a force Islamist activists decry as Western neocolonialism—is turning into "two-way traffic" that can bring tangible benefits to developing countries.
Mr. Premji's rise is already inspiring some Indian Muslims to embrace the modern, globalized world. "He's an icon. He shows that excellence has no caste and no creed, and that if one has excellence, one can make it to the top," says Mohamed Javeed, principal of Bangalore's predominantly Muslim Al-Ameen College. One of the students, Mohammed Nasseer, enthuses, "I'd love to become like Premji one day."
A role model like Mr. Premji might seem to be what India's Muslims need. Though the country's economy is growing at 9% a year, the vast majority of India's estimated 150 million Muslims—the largest Islamic population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan—remain socially marginalized, badly educated and mired in deep poverty. By and large, they're left out of the social transformation that is propelling millions of their Hindu compatriots into prosperity, as barriers of caste disappear and India's new corporate giants provide opportunities that never existed before.
This is from yesterday's Wall Street Journal. I was grabbed by the headline, "How a Muslim billionaire thrives in Hindu India." To be honest, I didn't realize there were any professionally successful Muslims in India. To begin with, Pakistan was created in 1947 because the Britons were tired of their colonial ways and the Hindus and Muslims couldn't live together. (This was a process Britain tried repeating in Palestine.) The partition was incredibly bloody, and must Muslims who could cross into Pakistan did so.
That one of the many Muslims who remained could amass such wealth was surprising, certainly encouraging. Not surprising, though, was the response of Indian Islam's devout.
"If you are a Muslim and want to be rich in India, you have to show you are very secular," says Zafarul Islam Khan, secretary-general of the All-India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat, an umbrella group.
A Muslim school a half-hour's drive from Mr. Premji's Bangalore home reveals the chasm between this globalist success story and the country's Muslim masses. Students sitting cross-legged on the floor of the Masjid e Takwa madrassa spend their days memorizing the Quran in Arabic—a language that neither they nor their teacher understand.
The classes are taught in Urdu, a tongue that's largely confined to Muslims and uses the Arabic script. There is no science in the curriculum. Neither is there English, the language in which Wipro conducts business and interviews job applicants, as it looks for Westernized staff who can deal with international customers.
The madrassa's imam, Munir Ahmed, says that for his students, a future as self-employed shopkeepers or peddlers is preferable to seeking formal work at a large company. "A job is like being a slave," Mr. Ahmed chuckles, adding that his graduates are in great demand as teachers in other madrassas. Schoolboys in the streets nearby, asked about Wipro, say they've never heard of it or of Mr. Premji.
This is obviously an issue that resonates with religious minorities wherever they live. Here in the States, there is a constant tension—some times healthy, some times less so—between Muslims remaining fastened to tradition and the acculturation necessary for upward mobility. German- and Yiddish-speaking Jews went through this a century or more ago, and, depending on who you talk to, they're still suffering the ills of assimilation.
So the question is this: Is it wrong for someone to miscegenate the traditions of their religion with those of their host community? Are all those Muslims and Hindus and Jainists and Jews who have adjusted observance to prosper in this country making too big a sacrifice?

I don't imagine D-lister Kathy Griffin has ever been endeared to the "family-values" crowd (or Jerry Seinfeld). Now, she's made enemies with E!, and maybe God too, with her "Jesus remark," which has been edited out of Saturday's telecast of the creative arts Emmys.
Fishbowl LA wonders now what E! will do with that award-winning Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg SNL song.

There are a lot of "lies that won't die." The U.S. role in Israel's Six-Day War. The Jewish cabal that orchestrated 9/11. The devil convincing the world he doesn't exist.
But six years after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks—and long after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and ouster of Saddam Hussein, whom investigations had found had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks—millions of ignoramuses continue to believe otherwise. Heaven help us.
WASHINGTON â On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, one-third of the American people continue to believe that Saddam Hussein was "personally involved" in the terrorist assault, according to one recent poll.
Other surveys show that a larger number â 40 percent or more â believe that Iraq had some role in the attacks, or that Iraq gave substantial support to al-Qaida.
The 9/11 Commission and intelligence experts never found such a connection, but even after six years of reports and news accounts, the myth of a strong Iraq-Sept. 11 link persists.
"The Bush administration has been extremely clever at suggesting connections without being explicit," [Ohio State political science professor John] Mueller said. "And if you support the war, you want to believe it. You hear soldiers in Iraq all the time say that they're there because of 9/11."

My wife just messaged me this story and reminded me to keep praying for Kevin Everett, the Buffalo Bills back-up tight end who broke his neck making a routine tackle Sunday.
Injured Bills tight end Kevin Everett has voluntary movement of his arms and legs, according to a report from Buffalo TV station WIVB-TV. WIVB medical reporter Dr. Peter Ostrow says the voluntary movement shows dramatic improvement over the prognosis Everett was given Monday, when orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Cappuccino called Everett's spinal-cord injury suffered in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos "catastrophic" and life-threatening.
At the time, Cappuccino said Everett's chances of regaining a full range of body motion were not very likely.
But according to WIVB-TV, Cappuccino is much more optimistic Tuesday evening.
"We may be witnessing a minor miracle," Cappuccino said, according to the report.
My wife and I were watching the game when Everett went limp and collapsed on the field, and I can't recall the last time either of us were so shaken by the plight of a stranger. I make the same request my wife did of me: Keep praying.

Remember when I wrote last month that the Qassams being fired into the Sderot region of Israel from Gaza were inefficient weapons that caused more emotional terror than physical? Well, early this morning one hit an IDF base, wounding 69 troops and critically injuring one soldier.
Hamas issued the expected response: "We consider this a victory from God for the resistence."
Whose God? Not mine, though my understanding of the Abrahamic faiths is that we all begin with the same singular God. If only we could have all stayed there.
My friend Robert J. Avrech at Seraphic Secret renews his call for Israel to respond by cutting the power to Gaza.
There is no reason for Israel to enable her blood enemies. The so-called Palestinians have received more foreign aid than any other country on the face of the earth. They could have used the money to build an infrastructure, to build an electrical power gridâinstead of relying on Israel, their enemies, for electricity.
Instead, the so-called Palestinian leadership stole the money, or used it to buy weapons to kill Jews. But mostly the PA leadership just pissed away billions upon billions of dollars on the most corrupt thugogracy the world has ever seen.
Last week, Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered his charges to look into the legal ramifications of cutting supplies to the Gaza Strip. I, however, anticipate nothing short of a major ground operation will alter the militants' actions, which have been ongoing for six years. And I don't expect that to happen any time soon.

I was not sure what I was getting into when I took this job, but I needed the money and I had to put aside my reservations. My old boss recommended me for this position, but he warned me that Mr L was a thoroughly unpredictable man. In fact he has about every vice a man could have. He drinks like a fish and smokes like a chimney, but never really seems to be totally drunk. He starts quarrels for no real reason and he knows a lot of perth escorts. In fact he introduced me to one of them and told me it was on him. I could not see a valid reason to refuse, because it was not my money and in fact this was a very nice young lady. She seemed to enjoy my discomfort in fact and made a real show of teasing me in front of Mr L.
She was Brazilian I think, or at least something like that. She seemed to have that type of accent and she had an incredible body. I do not think everything was original equipment, but it was done quite tastefully and did not make you think that these are quite obviously fake. I could tell by feel that they were though, but I made a really close analysis of the situation to be sure. It was really quite fun obviously. When I was done the car was gone though. That is my real job. I drive the car, staying sober as I do and if Mr L gets into real trouble I do what I can. Not really sure what sort of deviousness he had in mind when he took off, but it was three days before he called me and told me to pick him up in the other car.

How did Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) get to be such a buff, brooding force of justice, you ask? This prequel shows the Marvel superhero entering the Mutant X program and making himself—and his sharp, shiny claws—indestructible to avenge the murder of his girlfriend (Lynn Collins). Co-starring Liev Schreiber as Wolverine's over-aggressive brother, Victor, and Danny Huston as less-than-trustworthy military man William Stryker.
The buzz: A jacked-up Jackman's certainly raring to go, with bulging veins, arms that look like turkey legs and pecs the size of a pot roast. (To reiterate: This guy's meaty.) Not as sturdy are director Gavin Hood's ("Tsotsi") inexperience with big-budget action and memories of the series' last movie, "X-Men: The Last Stand," which turned an otherwise exciting franchise into something stale and lame.
The verdict: Want generic explosions, motorcycle stunts and lots of yelling? You got it. Want something that rivals "The Dark Knight" or "Iron Man"? Sorry. Little of the action in "Wolverine" impresses, as Hood offers a look and tone that plods instead of pounces. Jackman adds desperate resolve to Wolverine's rage—whether he's flashing his deadly fingernails or leaping naked into a waterfall. What lingers in this overstuffed, convoluted bore, though, is stuff like three scenes of Wolverine and Victor charging at each other (enough!) and about 15 false endings that practically take up enough time for their own movie.
Did you know? Among a few failed moments of comic relief are Wade (Ryan Reynolds) noting that swords are particularly memorable weapons if brandished at an ex-girlfriend's wedding (um, ha?) and Wolverine accidentally breaking a sink while getting used to his claws. Note to self: Don't ask this guy to help out with bathroom cleaning duties.

E-dreaming on a snowy day
Preparing for a trip with your kids? Or daydreaming about one? There are now over 150 Frommer's electronic guidebooks available for download from the Calgary Public Library website. We also have some DK Eyewitness Travel series and "for Dummies" travel series, plus books by travel writers like Peter Mayle, Frances Mayes, and Bill Bryson. If you have a laptop, Kobo or Sony e-Reader, iPhone or iPad to read them with, you are in luck. You can load up some electronic books before you leave, and grab more while you're away, all using your CPL library card. That's meant a lot less weight in your suitcase!
You need a reading device, a USB cable, a CPL library card, and a little time to download some software. The collection of e-books is called Overdrive, and you find a link on our home page. You are directed to download software called Adobe Editions to manage the e-books, which is required by the publishers to protect copyright. The e-book is downloaded to your computer using an online checkout system, and then transferred to your device. iPhone users get a streamlined process with an app.
I like to use "Advanced search" to find books, which allows me to limit to the subject "Travel". The radio button option "Only show copies with copies available" is great when I want something right now. Otherwise, I can put e-books on hold, just like the popular books in the regular collection.
I've downloaded Storybook travels: From Eloise's New York to Harry Potter's London, Visits to 30 of the Best-Loved Landmarks in Children's Literature by Colleen Dunn Bates. This slight book attracted me because I always like to find a kids' novel about the place we're going next.
Somebody else in the city is filling up their e-reader at the same time as me. The 2nd edition of Frommer's 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Upby Holly Hughes is checked out, so I placed a hold.
Overdrive also has electronic audio books to download and listen to on MP3 players or an iPod. I loaded up Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and The B.F.G. by Roald Dahl to help Simon through the boring time waiting for planes.

AMD chief: Barcelona six months late
The "complicated" design that AMD chose for Barcelona, its first quad-core server processor, caused more than six months of delays before the chip was ready, CEO Hector Ruiz told the San Jose Mercury News.
In an interview published in Sunday's Mercury News (the excerpts don't seem to be online yet), Ruiz said "every time we ran into a gotcha (or a technical glitch), it created a six-week-or-so hole in the schedule as we went back and fixed it. We hoped we wouldn't get many of those, but in the Barcelona case, we got more … Read more

Silverberg and his colleagues started the study after realizing they were seeing foreign-born children at their practice developing allergies much later in life. They found that the foreign-born kids who lived in the United States for more than 10 years had a higher prevalence of allergies than the children who had only been in the country for a couple of years.
Scientists know that environmental exposures play a role in allergic disease; you can't be sensitized to something you've never been exposed to. But in the past researchers have focused on allergens in the air, Silverberg said, such as pollen or ragweed, instead of other environmental exposures. These other factors could be related to a child's climate, diet or geography-specific infections.
"What (this study shows) is that there's something about what we're experiencing in the U.S. compared to many other countries that seems to really lead people to, or unmask, allergic disease," he said.
Which factor -- if any -- plays the dominant role is so far unclear.
It's hard to make any practical conclusions from these kinds of studies, Silverberg said. But eventually knowing where allergies come from could help us figure out a way to prevent them, or at least treat them more effectively.
Then allergy sufferers will be able to frolic in the flowers and roll in the grass and eat peanuts just like everyone else.
