You are however assuming that every other PC actually exists in Lore. That is most likely not true in most cases. After all YOU are the one who killed Zhaitan if you completed the Personal Story, not all those million others that did it before you.

Also, where do you stand with this arguement in WvWvW? You can't say all characters there are the same one hero who killed Zhaitan. I like my assumption better.

Aparently a proper discussion on the subject concluded that Ectoplasm was just Magic in raw form, and a convinient ingredient to infuse magic to artifacts. And grant them special effects.
Legendary weapons are, just like the Obsidian armor before it, the pinnacle of magical crafting, which can only be crafted by an elusive Ultimate Blacksmith, in this case Zommoros.
The lore of Legendary weapons is up for our guessing, but my theory is that, in their current form, these legendary artifacts are actually Zommoro's interpertation of events and customs of Tyria, as Miyani (and her predecessor whoever who he/she was or if he/she even existed) relays to him in their time together. As you all know, Miyani is fundamental in crafting these items, as it is she the one that teaches you the necessary "gifts" you need to provide Zommoro for him to craft your weapon. Not Zommoro himself.
As for the process in which he creates these Legendary weapons, it is not too different from how we can create a Corrupted weapon by taking a basic template, an Etched weapon, and infusing it with a conglomerate of magical energy, pieces of condensed energy from Jormag, the Corrupted Lodestones. It's the process for Legendary weapons that becomes the much more convulted.
Nearly every expression of magical enery is tossed to the forge in order to create a Legendary weapon you see. A piece of the Bloodstone, thousands of animal body parts, badges of honor infused with mystic energy straight from the mists, crystalized power from one particular Elder Dragon, bucket loads of Ectoplasm, Clovers (a shout out of how much luck is part of owning these weapons, really), Obsidian shards and raw materials. As well as the basic template, a Precussor, which the process of obtaining one is as cryptic as the one involved in making the final product.
Bottom line? We are jumping over ourselves by wanting to "know" the Lore of Legendary weapons. It is already there, we just think it is imcomplete and simplistic. Well, that's because it is. Because there is nothing Legendary about a weapon forged by a blacksmith that lives inside a cooking pot. In the middle of the capital of the known world no less! Long gone are the days in which we had to travel to the center of a realm of a God to ask a blacksmith to craft our artifacts of power, and that is just a sad state of affairs.
We should probably just call them Artifact weapons or Legacy weapons. Their current name isn't descript of the actual nature... It's us the players that make them Legendary, not themselves on their own.

Same route Anet went with Underworld lore for Godslost Swamp and when Dhuum broke free - dozens/hundreds of never-named adventurers.
But there's only 1-15 hero(es) that killed Zhaitan (alongside the entirety of the Pact).
The named greens and items are indeed tricky but I still think you could have copies of the original, especially those coming from vendors or the mystic forge. It might very well be that there's only one original Eternity, wielded by god knows who, but it might be in the power of Zommorros, should he choose so, to make a copy of this weapon. Do we even know how the mystic forge works anyway? Seems like Zommorros can call anything into being if he makes the effort. (I assume this because the rarer stuff usually requires a component that 'pleases' Zommorros. Lets call it a bribe)
I know the legendary weapons aren't part of the lore. As far as I know I haven't seen any reference to the rarity of items in the game conversations. I would just say that these things are extremely rare items in the world of Tyria, but not from history. These items probably mean nothing to the common Tyrian other than "wow that's amazing, I've never seen such a thing in my life".
The real legendary weapons are the likes of Magdaer and Sohothin.

After I saw each and every weapon, I only got interested in 2 legendaries: Shield and Scepter. Since I main warrior I made shield, and at first I didn't have idea whats it about. But later I found out its connected with Glint from gw1 and is part of the lore.
Reason why I find scepter maybe even more interesting is that is looks like some sort of planet system. Could it be that one of those planets is Tyria and that whole thing is actually solar system of Tyria, I guess we might find or not in future.

I know this might be hard to interiorize but, we have to face the possibilty that there's no actual story to Legendaries other than they were made by Zommoros. He doesn't pull them from thin air you know. You give him the materials as if they came from a shopping list and he shapes them into a weapon. Like any Legendary Blacksmith in the history of ever does.
These aren't replicas of some higher form of weapon wielded by the Heroes of Old. They are the genuine article. Woundrous artifacts made for your hero to wield. The similarity and the reason there's more than one, is because the guy who made them lives in the middle of the capital of the world! Well duh.
Mindboggling concept, I know, but beats the common the old gambit of "it's a replica" that plagues other games. They are not replicas. Like the Stradivarius aren't replicas of an original Godviolin made by someone, these "Legendaries" aren't replicas of anything. They are unique and rare. That's it.

Many Exotic weapons hold historical lore ties - be it in name, appearance, or both. The rest of the exotic weapons are more of having lore _references_.
Ascended items are the same - except for the quiver packs.
So why wouldn't the even rarer tier not have it when the next two highest tiers do?
As I presented in my first post in this thread, the legendary weapons do seem to have ties to lore - and at the very least, they hold thematic ties to things presented in lore or GW's player history, if not ties to the lore directly.

Frostfang utilizes a Corrupted Skeggox (the axe) for its precursor and Frostfang itself has a draconic appearance; with the ice effects Frostfang seems to be a "furthered corrupted" form of the Corrupted Skeggox (furthermore, it's made from Honor of the Waves tokens which is heavily dealing with Jormag's influence).
The Flameseeker Prophecies holds a New Krytan transcription of Meerak the Shouter's... shouts from post-Searing GW1 Prophecies.
The Moot is, as said, likely a norn thing. The Bifrost too.
Kraitkin is likely something similar to the Blue Orb found during the Apatia storyline (fear that you'd have to cause harm to another), which is heavily implied to be tied to the deep sea dragon and is believed by the krait to be tied to their prophets.
Rodgort likely has ties to fiery charr/a dragon given the shape, but may just be a reference to the GW1 fire elementalist skills which in turn were a reference to Trogdor.
Kamohoali'i Kotaki is clearly named after the elusive artist of grandeur, Kekai Kotaki.
I suspect Kudzu is tied to the sylvari somehow.
Given design, I suspect that Frenzy and Quip hold shared origins.
Based on their looks, The Predator and Incinerator seem to be of charr origins.

This morning, while sitting in the office of one of my wife's many doctors my phone rang. It was a job offer from a local hospital. On Nov. 12th I am tentatively scheduled to start a new career as a hospital health system driver/courier. I just need to pass the Drug testing and a Physical. It's only a per diem position but it is a "foot in the door" making me potentially available to fill a future part or full time position. They tend to hire and promote from within. I won't be commuting to this job, but I also won't be working 12.5 hr. rotating shifts!
This afternoon while leaving my doctor's office with my innoculation records in hand, I stopped and sat on a bench to wait out a downpour. As I sat there my phone rang yet again. My Urologist was calling with the biopsy results. No cancer detected. That's two sets of 12 cores in a twenty month period that have been clean. We're going to become good freinds as he intends to keep a close watch over me for the forseeable future!
I've been back on my self prescribed regimine of ibuprofin for two days now and I'm thrilled to report that I once again have a functioning body. I can easily go up and down stairs, walk briskly, raise my arms to my face and higher, and intend to commute to work on my final day tomorrow.
Are my issues resolved? Hell no!!! Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Well, there's a definate glimmer of something. Perhaps it's a mix of hope and confidence. But then again, it could just be a train.....

Atheists Continue to Torment Christians with Zombie Easter Pictures on Easter
Today I opened the Holymailbox to find the usual atheistic assault on Christianity. A group calling itself Matt's Brigade is claiming to be Christian, yet they sullied me before giving my sermon on what she be the happiest day in American and therefore universal history.
Nearly 2000 years ago, humanity was doomed. We had continually sinned before our Lord and Satan had all but claimed our eternal souls as his greatest prize ever. But God, my friends, but God gave us his only Son to show to Satan and all demons, that God's love and sacrifice for humanity is beyond amazing.
John 3:16 (please stand as you read this scripture, in reverence for God): "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have EVERLASTING life."
Just stop, close your eyes and think of the power of that scripture. God promised to the Earth that at our darkest hour, we would have a Savior come to us. Many people named the Jews erred and expected a militaristic savior who would save them from Roman conquest. Others expected a being who immediately cracked the sky and demanded all bow before him.
But our great and wonderful God sent a tiny baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes. He was born to a virgin named Mary and an adoptive father who was skilled in building. It was the upbringing of Christ in an adoptive nuclear family that forwarded him to his ministry, where through his divine understanding and example of humility us American Christians of today draw our inspiration, strength and hope.
Jesus is for all people, my friends. Gays, liberal scientists, people who voted for Barack Obama, Muslims and even the very atheists who tried to depress me today.
In the past 5 years, I've received over 3,000 unique zombie Jesus pictures from atheists. I've used these images in my sermons throughout the nation to show people the woes and militant infantalism of atheistic logic. These people claim to be englightened, yet they cannot fathom the basic tenets of faith. Their lack of humility hardens their heart and limits their experience to the sad experience of their five measly senses. They will burn in hell and not realize true universal wisdom should they continue on their paths.
It's with that I present 2012's zombie Jesus picture from atheists. Instead of the initial gallery of examples that show atheist childish and intent to ruin Easter, today I will feature just one image that stuck out to me.
A woman named Starla contacted us on behalf a man named Matt. He apparently commands a legion of fair looking models and was raised a Christian. He has used his great wealth and power to purportedly and convincingly create an image entitled "The Last Supper", where the apostles have all been casted by who could be breathtaking models (aside from one that looks like Rocky Horror Picture Show). In the middle I am assuming it is Matt who is taking on the role of Christ.
This image burned into my mind's eye and before today's sermon at Langley CC and televised sermon at our sister church in Malibu, I had to drink two bottles of ChristWire's holy water to find the inner strength and high spiritual dipole moment to carry out my sermon.
Please, visit Matt's Facebook page and ballyhoo. You may also find his personal webpage here.
Click image for full sized unholiness.
We can see one of the atheist model apostles has performed an impromptu appendectomy and is trying to eat of the "Lord's" appendix in the right lower quadrant, while others are probably laughing it up and drinking chiantis. This is not the Last Supper and Jesus is not a mythological zombie.
I can only hope this Easter that the message of joy, love and peace can find you atheists. If you are reading this and your heart is speaking to you, telling you to try Christ, please go to your local church next Sunday. Feel free to also email me at the Holymailbox. The world is in a spiritual battle and Christ is not a fair weather savior. He is there to hold us when we are at our lowest moments, he is there to forgive us for our greatest sins.
In this crazy, cruel world, sometimes all we can have is faith in those truths. The love of Christ is a love for all seasons, and all people. And it is that thought that made me able to go on today. The crisp, Fiji-glinted ChristWire holy water quenched my thirst for comfort, but it was the message of Christ that ultimately gave me this thought: forgive them, for they know not what they do.
And it's that beautiful message that I share with you all this Easter Sunday. When you meet people of lesser understanding, you must realize their mind is like that of a toddler in a tantrum. They will lash out in unpredictable ways, but if any of us are without our moments of sin, we would be perfect. And none of us can claim perfection: that is what Jesus Christ gave us the chance for redemption.
Atheists, today, know in your heart you can be forgiven. And Christians, who have forsook Christ's message of love and peace, know too, you can be forgiven. It's time to have a vision of unity, and not Obama's helter skelter vision of division.
Be blessed, my friends. And have a wonderful Easter Sunday.

Preferred stocks are a hybrid between bonds and stocks. They pay a somewhat predictable income like bonds, and may afford some potential for capital growth like common stocks. While they might play a part in a retiree's portfolio, they don't seem to be an appropriate substitute for bonds in a fixed-income ladder. They have no specific maturity date, are subject to market value fluctuation as interest rates change, and may be repurchased by the issuer at an inopportune time.
At least that's what I thought. Unfortunately, I hadn't reckoned with the question of preferred stocks, the Lorelei of the equity world to retirees. A number of you have asked me to address the concept of including those securities in a retiree portfolio as a substitute for bonds. I admit that their use may sound tempting on the surface. After all, preferred stocks pay an income and, as stocks, they might rise in value as the company's fortunes and the overall stock market improve. Both of these features could give us the best of both the bond and stock worlds. For that reason, they certainly deserve our consideration to see how they may fit into our portfolios.
Not all companies issue preferred stock. In fact, most do not. A preferred stock is a hybrid security that shares the features of a bond and a common stock. Like a bond, the preferred stock will pay an income, but in the form of a dividend rather than interest. Usually, the dividend is fixed as a percentage of the share's par value at issue, but it may also be variable (within a narrow range) based on interest rates at the time the dividend is paid. Unlike a bond, the preferred stock has no specified maturity date. And, because preferred shares represent an equity holding in the issuing business, market price may increase along with any increase in the market price of the firm's common stock.
Unlike a common stock shareholder, a preferred shareholder typically does not have a vote in most company decisions. The preferred shareholder, though, does take precedence over the common shareholder for the payment of dividends. Common shares may not receive a dividend payment until those due preferred shares have been paid. Additionally, in the event of bankruptcy, preferred shareholders will receive payments after bondholders, but before common shareholders. The priority in the payment of dividends and in the division of a bankrupt company's assets are why "preferred" stocks have that designation.
Preferred stocks may be called participating, nonparticipating, convertible, cumulative, noncumulative, and callable. Participating shares may receive extra dividends along with common shares when the company has been profitable and the board of directors authorizes dividend payments to common shareholders. While the added payment won't be as large as the payment made to common shareholders, this feature nevertheless provides preferred shareholders added participation in company earnings. Nonparticipating shares do not receive a dividend payment beyond that specified as the normal dividend for those shares.
Convertible shares may be exchanged for a fixed number of common stock shares. This type of preferred stock affords the investor the opportunity to take preferred dividend payments forever, or to participate fully in common stock appreciation through conversion. Neither the conversion rate nor the conversion privilege will expire, and the conversion can be made at any time.
Cumulative shares provide the owner with a continuing claim to missed dividend payments. If, for whatever reason, the company's board of directors has skipped one or more dividend declarations, then all missed dividend payments will continue to accumulate, and those missed payments represent a valid claim for that shareholder against company profits. When dividend payments resume, all past and present dividends will be paid to preferred shareholders before common shareholders may receive a dividend. Noncumulative shares, as the name implies, is the other side of the cumulative coin. Missing dividend payments do not accumulate and are not made up on noncumulative shares.
Callable preferred stock may be repurchased (or "called in") by the issuing corporation for a fixed price. This feature allows the issuer some control over the preferred stock, because the redemption of those shares eliminates their dividend payments. Eliminating preferred dividends increases the earnings available to common shareholders. Most preferred stocks on the market contain a call feature.
While preferred stocks may have a place in a retiree's portfolio, in my opinion they do not qualify for a spot on a bond (or fixed income) ladder. First, they have no maturity date, so there is no "guarantee" on the principal such as that with a bond held to maturity. They will also fluctuate in market value with every shift in interest rates so, as I discussed last week, in that sense they will mimic a bond fund because the ultimate share redemption value is unknown.
Additionally, while preferred stocks may appreciate in value, that appreciation typically occurs in a very narrow range, far below that of common stock. Thus, the potential for price growth seems too small for me, particularly in view of the interest rate risk previously cited. I'll get far better (and probably more reliable) growth investing directly in common stock.
Finally, the call feature in most preferred shares could seriously disrupt the stability of my fixed-income portfolio allocation, and it's an event that is totally beyond my control. The issuing company decides when to repurchase the shares, and that will usually occur when interest rates have declined. The company will endeavor to redeem a higher-paying preferred stock so it can issue newer, lower-paying shares. If my shares were called in, I would be forced to invest those proceeds at a lower interest rate, something that wouldn't occur had I invested in a similar or slightly lower-yielding bond maturing at a known and later date in the future.
I'm sure preferred stocks can play a part in a retiree's portfolio. I just don't see them in mine. I'll stick with securities that have a known maturity date for my fixed-income securities, and for growth I'll stay with common stocks.
See you next week. Until then, post away as usual on the Retired Fools board.
Best to all...Pixy

NJ Sen. Frank Lautenberg says he will retire
TRENTON, N.J. Frank Lautenberg, the oldest member of the U.S. Senate, plans to retire at the end of his current term, eliminating a probable Democratic primary battle with Cory Booker, the charismatic mayor of Newark.
Lautenberg, 89, confirmed Thursday he would step down when his term ends in 2015 rather than seek re-election at age 90.
Early public opinion polls showed Booker as a strong favorite over the incumbent to keep the seat in Democratic hands, but Booker's nascent campaign had been largely on hold until Lautenberg made a decision. Other Democrats, including Rep. Frank Pallone, are also mulling runs.
No Republican has publicly expressed interest in the seat, but a spokesman for the national party viewed Gov. Chris Christie's success in New Jersey as "a hopeful sign" for the GOP's chances even though New Jersey voters haven't sent a Republican to the Senate in 40 years.
Lautenberg was set to travel Friday to his hometown of Paterson to announce his retirement.
Booker announced his intent to run for Senate in December, then created a federal fundraising account allowing him to raise money for the campaign. In doing so, the two-term mayor of New Jersey's largest city dashed hopes that he would challenge Christie in a race for governor that would have pitted two rising national stars against one another.
Though Booker's relationship with Lautenberg has been nettlesome, he issued a statement praising the senator.
"Sen. Frank Lautenberg has been a champion for the people of New Jersey for decades and his legacy of service will improve the lives of all Americans for years to come," Booker said.
President Obama also lauded the reliably liberal senator.
"Throughout his time in the Senate, Frank has fought tirelessly for workers, veterans, members of our military and their families, and immigrants, and he continues to make extraordinary contributions to our nation's safety, and the health and welfare of our citizens," Obama said.
In his own statement, Lautenberg emphasized the tasks he hopes to accomplish in the next two years.
"This is not the end of anything, but rather the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey," he said.
Lautenberg first won election to the Senate in 1982, and became known as a staunch advocate of gun control and public infrastructure and a champion of the Amtrak railroad system. He also crusaded against smoking and youth drinking and supported stiffer environmental laws.
Though he has been easily elected five times and is the Senate's last veteran of World War II, Lautenberg was facing growing pressure to step down. He has had beaten back health problems in recent years. Some within the party noted that if Lautenberg were to die in office, Republican Gov. Chris Christie would get to name a temporary successor.
Christie's popularity, measured in record-high approval ratings after Superstorm Sandy battered the state last year, has given Republicans a sense of optimism for other statewide races in New Jersey, where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by 700,000.
"Gov. Christie has shown that being successful in New Jersey is not a matter of partisanship but rather of leadership, a hopeful sign for our chances in 2014," said Brad Dayspring, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Lautenberg and Christie clashed frequently, most publicly when the governor scrapped plans for a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York after the senator secured $3 billion in federal grants for the project. More recently, however, the two worked together with other members of the state's Washington delegation to help secure $60.2 billion in aid for the region after Sandy.

It doesn't get much more star-studded at the July 4th box office than a movie pairing up Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. But with families getting together on the upcoming long weekend, people will sure want to find something everyone can enjoy with Grandma and "Larry Crowne" will certainly be a better, less deafening option than "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."
But before Friday arrives, if you want to get in the mood, you can pick up the soundtrack CD which is appropriately summery and FM radio ready. The disc is highlighted by a new tune by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers who have three cuts on the disc, "Walls (No. 3)" "Listen to Her Heart" and "Runnin' Down a Dream." Throwing things back a bit, Electric Light Orchestra and Billy Squier get some tunes, along with the legendary Smokey Robinson. Also of (lesser) note are newbie folks like Tyler Hilton and Sky Ferreira while James Newton Howard rounds things out with "French Toast" from his score to the film.
You can pick up the soundtrack for Mom tomorrow and see the movie this Friday, July 1st (Canada Day!). Check out the full tracklisting below. [KPLJ]
"Larry Crowne" Soundtrack Tracklisting
1. Electric Light Orchestra, "Hold On Tight"
2. Tom Petty, "Runnin' Down a Dream"

An electronic, interlinked system that went online this year has revolutionized the way Kentucky law enforcement and criminal justice professionals access and serve warrants, summonses and other related documents, Gov. Steve Beshear announced today.
Nearly a year after it was first implemented, more than 62 percent of the new warrants entered into the E-Warrants system have been served, compared with less than 10 percent served under the old system.
The system, which first went live in Jefferson County in January 2008, has since been launched in Campbell, Scott, Bourbon and Woodford counties. The program is expected to launch in Fayette County in early 2009, and be active statewide within the next 24 months.
Kentucky is one of only a handful of states that utilize an electronic system to manage certain types of warrants.
Prior to use of this system, as many as 300,000 warrants were outstanding on any given date in Kentucky, primarily because the warrants were paper-based and reside in each county with no statewide mechanism for access.

A collection of images shot by West Midlands based live music photographer Glenn Rossington whilst on assignment for Soundcheck Magazine over a two year period.
From the little and obscure local acts through to global superstars, Glenn's images capture the vibe from the stage, the passion from the crowd and retell them back to the viewer.
Using Henri-Cartier Bresson's notion of 'the decisive moment' and applying it to his work, these images will either take you on a journey into an event that you missed, or will take you back in time to relive that particular moment over and again.

I am a Game of Thrones addict. I almost shed real tears when Rob Stark died, and really want a direwolf for my next birthday. Maybe you don't watch, but if you do watch tv, then you do one of two things: You either pay for cable, or you don't. If you are fresh into adulthood, than you are no strangers to bills either. Cable is definitely a large one. But is cable worth it?
The Dilemma when Paying for Cable TV
Cable gives you the ability to watch more channels, see a wider variety of programming, and really enjoy all that television has to offer. But cable is expensive. A basic cable package + movie channels + hd + whatever else they tack on to your bill = a lot of money!! On the flipside however, cable allows you the freedom to watch what you want, when you want to for the most part.
Other Options: Online TV Streaming Services
If cable seems like it is out of your budget, than what are your alternatives? For starters, there are online streaming services like Hulu and Netflix. Hulu lets you watch primarily new shows on major networks, while Netflix has a gigantic collection of movies, tv shows, and documentaries that will definitely keep you occupied. Regardless, online services offer a cheaper alternative than traditional cable, will most of the same benefits.
The Verdict? Ask Your Budget
Just because you can afford cable, does not mean it necessarily a good idea. Evaluate whether or not it is something you can afford, and if that money could go towards other savings priorities. What does your current cable service give you that you could not get from a streaming website, the internet, and blogs? Is it a luxury that makes sense right now? These questions are not necessarily easy, but they can save you hundreds of dollars in the long run, and set you up for better fiscal decisions down the road.
What do you think? Is cable worth it to you? How do you supplement your cravings for your favorite shows? Let me know in the comments!

VIRDEN — The "experienced" population out there probably knows the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Some are familiar with Roald Dahl's 1964 novel, while others recall "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," the 1971 musical film adaptation of Dahl's book. Gene Wilder preformed the lead role of the eccentric Willy Wonka.

Captain Doug Lofton and his copilot, Fred Jones, are busy running the check-list in a Douglas DC-9. It is dark out on the ramp, but the dawn is breaking. There is a tug attached to the nose wheel, preparing to push the twin engine Delta passenger jet back from the terminal building for departure. The passenger loading door is open and the loading bridge (jetway) is attached. The cockpit door is ajar, awaiting final paperwork from operations.
It was the early 70's. At that time the BWI terminal building lay-out required that several security check points be set up. The security passenger search was preformed right at the loading gates. They had an armed officer at each position.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum says the state will get nearly $4 million in a multistate settlement with a British drug maker over the diabetes drug Avandia.
Rosenblum said in a statement Thursday that GlaxoSmithKline will pay $90 million to 38 states to settle a suit alleging it misrepresented the cardiovascular risks of the drug.
The attorney general said that a 2007 study linked Avandia to increased risk of heart attacks, a condition diabetics are predisposed to, and Avandia sales plummeted amid consumer lawsuits.
In 2010, the diabetes drug was restricted in the U.S. and banned in Europe.
Rosenblum's statement says the settlement requires the company to change its marketing practices. The company did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Next Great Baker Recap: Engineer Cakes And More Drama
December 26, 2011 08:27 PM by Lisa Princ
Last week on Next Great Baker on TLC, the bakers had to take on Holiday cakes, and this week they had to tackle engineer cakes! But could the teams keep the drama down tonight? Read on for all the highlights of tonight's episode!
Next Great Baker was back this week, and after all the drama last week, Minerva decided that she was feeling better this week. For their baker's challenge this week, the bakers watched Buddy Valastro create a beautiful fondant covered cake, and he asked that they create a beautiful fondant as well – it could be identical to his, or something completely different, as long as it was impressive. Melo decided to make his standout by being shiny, but it did not impress Buddy much, although the fondant work was great. Meanwhile, both Chad and Ryan went with a tie-dye look for their fondant in an attempt to be different.
All of the cakes were actually very impressive, and Buddy said he would have put all of them in his case at the bakery. However, one cake stood out to Buddy, and the rest of us watching. That cake was Nadine's, in which she had done some fondant draping – very classy looking! For winning the challenge, Nadine won a year's worth of fondant, and a sheeter to help her create the perfect cake! Buddy offered Nadine the chance to choose the teams, or take immunity this week, and it was a no brainer for Nadine to choose immunity! So Buddy chose the teams – Heather M, Minerva, and Marissa; Chad, Melo, and Nadine; Heather G, Megan, and Ryan.
For their elimination challenge this week, Buddy told the contestants about some of his craziest cakes, ranging from moving vehicle cakes, to an actual flushing toilet cake! That only meant one thing, that the teams would be creating engineer cakes, that needed to do something impressive for the team to win the challenge. Chad, Melo, and Nadine decided to go with a theme park cake, which had rides, a smoke spewing dragon, and a volcano that shot out confetti. Meanwhile, Minerva, Heather, and Marissa were also going with a theme park cake, but it included a carousel, a tea cup ride, and a balloon ride, all of which were to be moving.
Going with something different, Ryan, Heather G, and Megan decided to go with a disc jockey spinning some records for their engineer cake on Next Great Baker. It was not an easy decision though as Heather G. wanted to go with a baby crib cake, and she couldn't seem to get her head out of the clouds while working on the cake either. Meanwhile, Minerva was being her usual difficult self, and the girls were getting very frustrated with her. When Marissa asked Minerva to clean up a mess she made on the cake, Minerva seemed to take it as a personal attack, instead of just doing what she was asked.
When it was time to judge the cakes, they all worked perfectly, except for Marissa's team, who could not get any of the rides to move properly. After looking at the cakes for a few minutes, Buddy asked the contestants to bring the cakes out to the loading dock, where he had some of his buddies destroy the losing cakes with a chainsaw! We watched as both Marissa, Heather, and Minerva's non working carnival cake was destroyed, followed by the disc jockey cake made by Ryan, Heather, and Megan – which crushed the three of them. In the end, it was Chad, Melo and Nadine who won the challenge.
Buddy then announced that Heather, Marissa, and Minerva were the losing team and when asked who he should send home, both Marissa and Heather voted for Minerva. Minerva disagreed and said she should be there, but Buddy replied by telling her that he would not make the same mistake a third time, and she was going home. Minerva then shouted with glee and said she was happy. Confused and angered, Buddy met her down at the loading dock and locked her into the truck himself!
Who are you rooting for to be the Next Great Baker? Comment and share your thoughts with us! Be sure to tune in tonight at 9 pm EST for this brand new episode! Be sure to check out TLC's official Next Great Baker site for more information on the show!

Elisa's story:
(26th January 2013) Elisa Lam, a 21-year-old Canadian was described as a friendly person & intelligent student at the University of British Columbia. She went to vacation alone in LA, and checked into Cecil Hotel. During the first 5 days of her vacation Elisa called her parents daily. Strangely, she stopped calling her parents on January 31. Worried, her parents reported Elisa's disappearance to the police.
(19th February 2013) More than 2 weeks, guests complained of weird tasting drinking water & black water in the toilets. One day, a worker found a decomposed corpse floating in the water tanks of the hotel. The corpse was Elisa Lam.
These guests actually brushed their teeth, showered, & drank water contaminated by Elisa's decomposing body (OMG, eww eeww)!
Investigating the case, detectives came across a shocking clip of Elisa in the hotel elevator, just before she died.
#This is a disturbing footage, makes me afraid of going elevator alone#
This video was strange in a scary way… what happened at the elevator? … Why was she so scared? … What did she see? … Strangest of all, did you see some movements after 2:55 mins?
One of the first things that pulled me to the story is that Elisa is that she's Canadian from Vancouver (my ex-hometown). Also, she is a psychology student like myself! *creeepy* Anyways, I'm always a curious person & I love to investigate. I swear that if I'm in LA, I would head straight off to the hotel to investigate myself. Anyhow, I'm not in LA and all I can do is Google. So, I went online & found a even more scary history about the hotel…
Cecil Hotel's Dark History
Cecil Hotel is an old hotel built in the year 1927. Throughout the years, this hotel is a hotspot for crimes & death (three murders & several suicides). Below is several names who died at the hotel (these are real people, real names):
Helen Gurnee – Gurnee jumped mysteriously from the 7th floor window, in October 1954.
- Julian Moore – Moore jumped from the 8th floor window, in February 1962
Pauline Otton – A young lady, Otton jumped from the 9th floor window in October 1962. Freakiest of all, she landed on an old man pedestrian 90 feet below & killed him.
- Osgood – Retired telephone operator, she was murdered in her room in June 1964. Her murder remains a mystery until today.
Cecil Hotel was also home for serial killers.
In 1985, Ramirez the "Night Stalker" lived on the 14th floor room in Cecil Hotel. Ramirez murdered 14 women; after each of his killing spree, he dumped bloody clothes at the dumpster before going back to the hotel via back entrance.
- In 1991, Austrian serial killer, Unterweger… stayed at Cecil Hotel while murdering prositutes. At night, he welcomed the prostitutes to the hotel. Then, he strangled them with their own bra-straps, dumped their naked bodies nearby.
A hotel with so many mysteries & ghastly past, What do you make of it?
Now that you have the background of Elisa's death & the hotel… let's go more in-depth & examine the case. Shall we?
The truth: Haunted or Murdered?
As reported, Elisa was found in the water tank of Cecil Hotel. It was in one of these tanks her body was found;
The only biggest clue to her death is the video above, in the elevator. Judging from the video, some people said that she was taking drugs, some thought she was stalked, while some said she's haunted.
Let's analyze this… is she taking drugs? Based on her behavior in the video, personally I think she might not be taking drugs. Her actions seemed as reactions to a fearful circumstance, rather than 'high' on drugs. Also, the elevator door didn't close, even though Elisa was seen trying to press the close button again & again. And, how did she get to the water tank on the hotel roof alone?
According the the police, admission to the top of the hotel is restricted & only employees having access to that part of the building. However, the alarm system will ring until it was turned off using a special key. It means, that even employees who have the key will cause the alarm to ring, before they can turn it off with their special key. Now this is the mysterious part… no alarm was heard that night Elisa Lam died.
Here's a more detail video of the story by AppleDaily News:
So, how did she alone or an employee managed to get to the water tanks without passing through the alarm system? And look at the picture above, how can a tiny girl like her climb to the top of the 10-feet tall water tank?
There's also witnesses who claim that the elevator Elisa took, was always filled with strange pungent smell for years. Nobody could explain where the smell mysteriously came from. Another witness heard a loud noise above the hotel, like water gushing on the night Elisa died. Does these mysterious happenings explain Elisa's death?
The police is still investigating… but let's have our own brainstorm here. Is she on drug or murdered?
If she is on drugs, it's quite impossible for her to go to the rooftop without a key to the roof. Maybe an employee brought her there? Even if an employee did it, the alarm system will ring for a while; but no alarm was heard that night. Strangest of all, autopsy reports could not confirm if she is murdered or suicide.
What do you think is actually happening? Do comment and see if any of our conclusions fit the mystery.
Before I end, Elisa Lam's death reminds me of the movie Dark Water. Scary scary!

Teleperformance teams with Soles4Souls for shoe drive
Do you have shoes you never wear sitting in your closet?
Teleperformance and Soles4Souls will take them. They are teaming up to send shoes to the less fortunate around the world.
"People that walk on their feet all day long, they get cuts, they get sores, they get infections and so that's what the main purpose is for," Natasha Smith, Recruiting Lead at Teleperformance, said.
This is the third year the two have partnered for the national fundraiser. Smith said they are trying to increase their turn-out each year, so they aren't picky about the types of shoes you bring in.
"They could be flip-flops, they could be tennis shoes, they could be dress shoes, they can boots, it can be anything," Smith said.
The goal is set at reaching 10,000 pair of shoes from all their sites in the United States.
Brad Stalder, an administrative assistant with Teleperformance, said he has high hopes that they will beat last year's numbers.
"I believe we gathered, in our short period, about 185 pairs and we are a relatively small site, but I think from the records from last year, we were in the top 5 givers," Stalder said.
If you have a rips or tears on your shoes, Smith said not to worry; Soles4Souls will repair them so they look as good as new for the receiver.
"If they got a couple of tears in them they're gonna get fixed and refurbished," Smith said. "If the soles need to be replaced, that's okay too, they can do that stuff. The Soles4Souls company will take them and get them taken care of."
If you are interested in helping, drop by Teleperformance on 949 S. Judge Ely between Monday and Friday. The last day they will be accepting donations is January 31st.

The Mets just placed Ryan Church on the DL. He was examined today and told doctors he just didn't feel right.
The move to the DL comes nearly three weeks after the initial injury in Atlanta when he was hurt trying to break up a double play.
The Mets just placed Ryan Church on the DL. He was examined today and told doctors he just didn't feel right.
The move to the DL comes nearly three weeks after the initial injury in Atlanta when he was hurt trying to break up a double play.
I hope he is, and fully well expect it to be true. But as noted, it is too early for teams to be making major deals. But, good time to lay the ground work, see what other teams want, etc.
What I don't understand is the crazy mix of guys on the 25 man right now. It will be interesting to see what moves are made tonight.
If ALou and ANderson are back, and get activate, I would also like to see Aquilera up until church gets back. Send down Casanova and Nunez, and and the team actually looks quite a bit better. Or at least, not as suckidelic.
Paul Hagen is reporting that the Mets are interested in acquiring a first baseman and/or a corner outfielder. Hagen says that Omar Minaya is rumored to be interested in Kevin Millar, Jason Bay and Xavier Nady. Hagen must share a source with Dan Graziano, who mentions the same trio. Might Aaron Heilman be used as bait?
John, forget about Bay or Nady. I already told you the pirate gm wants young blue chip prospect pitchers. Nady and Bay are not worth giving up blue chip pitching prospects. Actually pitching is the one thing you do not want to give up. Pitching is everything in baseball. The mets are not getting bay and nady so get that out of your head, it won't happen unless the pirate gm changes his asking price which I don't see happening.
Tom, I agree that it won't be the worst thing to ride out the season. I also don't want Omar gutting the rest of the prospects (Carp, Neise, Murphy) for a couple more mid-30 YO stiffs that used to be good. Then, they miss the POs anyway, but don't have the young guys.
I don't believe in rumors. Unless the pirate gm drops his asking price of blue chip prospect pitching and is willing to take somebody off the major league roster I just don't see the mets getting bay or nady. If Omar trades these blue chip pitching prospects I will be extremely mad.
I think Heilamn and evans would get the job done for bay or nady, Where did you hear that they want blue-chip pitching prospects, and I'm sure, while they are in contention for the wild card right now, that wont last long and their asking price will drop.
John, That's fine, the pirate gm could want pitchers from the major league team if there still in the race. I read a while back in the winter meetings that teams were asking about bay and nady and the gm asking price was almost laughable.
Isn't it ironic that Kazmir has a better chance of making the playoffs than the mets. I will never forget that trade for as long as I am alive in this world. I was driving west on sunrise highway out on eastern long island and listening to the fan. When I heard who the mets traded Kazmir for I literally almost drove my car off the road. I'm not being a front runner here, I knew than that was the one of the worst trades in baseball history. Zambrano had a history of arm trouble and always got smacked around. If you are going to trade someone like Kazmir who at the time was well spoke of by other scouts from other teams you have to get something good, not an average pitcher with a history of arm trouble. That is why I almost drove my car off the road.
Yea unfortunetly, the list goes on and on, when it comes to bad trades involving the Mets!
Church on the DL is 3 weeks late. At least they did it.
Now lets see if he can see straight next month.
Hey, do you want to get even madder as a met fan. Check out Kazmir's stats. The guy has a 1.41 ERA, 6-1 record and a whip under 1.00, Santana who, it makes me sick to my stomach.
And that is in the american league and in the east division with the yankees and red sox's. When that trade happen I was really close to not being a met fan anymore for the first time in my life. When Omar came aboard I bought in to his press conference and with wright and reyes coming up from the minors saved the day. I am starting to doubt Omar Minaya though. I am losing confidence in Omar.
I hate to say this but, 2 concussions in such a short period of time, there is a high probability of Church not being the same player he was ,for at least the rest of this year. We have all seen some great NFL players careers destroyed by this type of injury.
I wanna see what he can do to save this team this year . Hopefully he'll impress us and pull off a slick trade, it needs to happen.
The church situation will go down as the worse organizational decision in baseball history. I guess it's willie's fault since everybody seems to blame willie for everything else.
JOHN: You are so off base with thinking that Evans/Heilmann will get Bay or Nady. The Pirates, to evertybody's shock and dismay are improving, their pitchers are improving, they need a big league starter to give them some experience. Heilmann is not a big league starter, and even if one wanted to make him one, he needs time to stretch and he has no experience to help a young nucleus. They don't need a corner outfielder in AA to replace a corner outfielder because they have 2 in AAA ready to jump up. They don't need Evans at 1B since they are already stuck with LaRoche. Now if you want him, I'm sure a deal could be arranged, but he is making Delgado look potent.
If you Dunn from the Reds I think you have the same problem with a match. They bring up outfielders regularly it seems and have a top prospect at first and two rookies who look like they will be real good starters. Both the Reds and Pirates have no front offices who are tryin g to convince a fan base that the world is changing and they aren't going to be sellers every summer. If they smell any chance a t awild card race they won't sell unless blown away, which the Mets can't do. If we still had Flores I'm sure he'd be worth a fortune but we don't since giving a multi year contract to a 48 year was a higher priority.
tomg: Before Tiffany does this, I will beat her to the punch and ask you if we blame Omar for the Kazmir trade?
Mark my words " We will get nady or bay" watch!!
Good one but that doesn't count because Omar wasn't with the mets when that trade was made but willie is here with the church situation. I couldn't resist, nothing against tiffany. I think she is one of the best poster's on this blog and is very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor, it's refreshing.
I wasn't bringing up Kazmir because what I thought of Omar. I am in extreme frustration mode so I thought I would just pile on the s@@t while I was at it.
Why do you bother rooting for this team? Seriously. There are all different types of fans…but the bottom line is that baseball is supposed to be enjoyable. I get pissed when the team loses and obviously when they win consistently, it's more "fun" but it's still a game.
If you hate this team so much or can't find any enjoyment out of the game, then…
I'm not saying you don't, but based on your posts, I can't see how you like this team or this game.
well, I am a met fan, baseball fan but I admit I don't like this team that minaya put together. I'm sure I'm not the only met fan that feels this way. I'm not going to bother the players I like on the mets and the players I don't. The bottom line is I am a met fan and a frustrated one but I am still a fan.
I hate the " team" that Minaya put together as well Tom.
Mike, its a business as well, fans are what makes the team, w/o the fans pouring their hard earned money into merchandise and tickets there would be no ballclub. As a loyal fan that supports their team through viewership and ticket/merchandise purchases, we all reserve the right to express both negative and positive opinions on our beloved Mets. Just the fact the we are on here talking about this should go to show that only real fans of the Mets are in here posting.
Tom—Did you like this team after 145 games last year, when they were 83-62 and had a seven-game lead?
Why is it that people think that a guy who is having a bad season (Heilman) can be traded for a guy having a good one (Nady)?
Sorry, the GM of the Pirates is not as dumb as you think he is.
The team that Minaya put together was designed to be good for a couple yrs. He got 1 yr out of it. I had hoped he would be true to his word and develop a FS so that the team would have a chance to be good yr to yr. But he has not and even with 40MM coming off the books there is little to fill OF, 1B or SP for next yr.
Hence, it appears Omar is a typical Mets yo-yo organizational man who puts out a good team for a 1-2yr span then they stink it up for 4-5.

Parks Associates (www.ParksAssociates.com) has announced a new report that reveals U.S. small businesses (SMBs) with more than 10 employees spend on average more than US$3,000 per year on tech support. The research firm notes only 28% of these SMBs report having a support subscription but tech support spending among all SMBs will increase over the next several years as they adopt more devices and cloud services and deal with an increasingly virtual workforce.
"Small businesses are traditionally conservative with their tech support spending, but new technology products and services are increasingly complex and promise increased functional capabilities," says Patrice Samuels, research analyst,Parks Associates. "This year, SMBs will spend nearly $400 million for computer and network setup and installation services. Their need for support will continue to increase as new devices enter the workplace and...| Read more »

Half of Canada's Small Businesses Think Hackers Won't Target Them. They're Dead Wrong
Symantec recently released the findings of its 2011 SMB Threat Awareness Poll. It revealed that, while awareness is high, small and medium businesses don't consider themselves targets of cyber attacks.
More than half of SMBs are familiar with the various security threats such as keystroke logging and malware. They know these attacks can lead to lost productivity, leaked private information, and even revenue loss. And yet…
The very same SMBs that recognize these threats and the consequences don't feel threatened. Half of the companies think that, simply because they're small, they won't be targeted. However, they're perfectly wrong: 40% of all attacks are targeted at small or medium sized businesses. Only 28% of attacks aim for large enterprises.
Because SMBs feel immune, they're not implementing the necessary safeguards. 63% ' use secure machines for online banking, 61% don't use antivirus software, and 47% don't use security on mail servers.
"Our research shows that SMBs are quite vulnerable to cyber attacks, and it's more important than ever for them to take steps to keep their information safe," said Steve Cullen, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing for SMB and .Cloud for Symantec Corp. "Even with tight budgets and limited resources, simple changes such as education and best practices can significantly strengthen an SMB's security approach to cyberattacks."

"I was really nervous about what size to order because I usually wear a 7.5 or 8, but I've never been a Large in flip-flops before. I decided to order the L and I'm happy I did! They stick out about 1/2 inch behind my heel, but I think M would have been way too small. These flip-flops also run VERY narrow, so if you have wider feet these may not work well for you."

Good but not great
"This is my 3rd pair of rainbows. I've always had the regular strap (both thick and thin) and this has been my least comfortable pair so far. I have a blister on the outer top of my right foot from where the braid rubbed. I wish that I had just ordered the original thin strap."

Perfect option, MUST BUY!
"Once I received these in the mail I was quite nervous that these were too uncomfortable to wear. But with insurance from friends and the site that once they were broken in, they are well worth it. After each use they get more and more comfy. After wearing for about a week I notice there were a few ripples where the foot sits and this didn't work for me so I called the manufacturer and they said that they were defective, so I exchanged for a new pair at DSW, a bit of an inconvenience but well worth it! If you have doubt about this shoe, DON'T you will love them and being they have a lifetime warranty this just proves that the company stand by their products!!"

The Techno 293 North American Championships held Mar 5-7 in Merritt Island, Florida saw eight tight races in 4-15 knot winds. This event was the North American country qualifier for the first IOC Youth Olympic Games to be held in Singapore, August 14-26. Two countries were selected in both youth mens and youth womens divisions.
Mexico dominated the youth men's in 1st, 2nd, and 4th positions with Ignacio Berenguer Lleonart leading the way. Alejandro Monilor qualified Puerto Rico in the second country slot for the Youth Olympic Games by finishing 3rd overall. Top American and 5th overall was 2007 Optimist National Champion, Ian Stokes, from Norfolk, VA.
The junior womens was dominated by the new Techno 293 North American Champion, Marion Lepert, from St. Francis YC in San Francisco. However, due to IOC eligibility requirements (she does not have her full U.S. citizenship), Marion was not eligible to qualify USA for the Youth Olympics. Therefore the top two qualifiers in junior women's are Audrey Caron from Canada and Margot Samson from USA (Clearwater, FL).
The future looks bright for USA in the Under 15 Division with 12 year old Rasmus Sayre (Vineyard Haven, MA) taking the North American Championship U15 crown, and hot shot Opti sailor, Luke Muller (Ft. Pierce, FL), in third.
These kids will be getting ready for the U.S. National Champs in San Francisco in July in preparation for the World Championships coming to St. Francis YC in 2011.

To the editor:
After reading Thomas McKenny�s Nov. 9 heartfelt and hateful letter headlined, �Hallelujah! Election did answer prayers,� I�m sure many Christians are wondering if McKenny �really believed God knows what is best for us in America� after the elections in 2000 and 2004 when God allowed nincompoops Al Gore and John Kerry to lose elections, thus not allowing them to begin the destruction of America?
The American people spoke twice and God blessed us with President George W. Bush.
Democrats were filled with hate in 2000; the hate intensified in 2004 and continues today as evidenced by McKenny�s letter. Democrats preach civility and tolerance, while spewing hate and bile attempting to discredit honorable people who disagree with them. Such tactics also serve to stir fear among their easily manipulated followers.
If God does not like liars, does he like those like McKenny who blindly repeat and spread the lies told to them by Democrat politicians seeking power and control for themselves?
Who trims McKenny�s nose every morning?
