While I'm usually a healthy and active person, the thought of walking down a long aisle in front of more than a hundred people has prompted me to kick up my workout routine and focus more on eating healthy. Since I got engaged eight months ago, I've been going to the gym a few times a week, cutting back on takeout and even making big batches of kale salad on Sunday nights to eat for lunch during the week. But I still have a ton of questions about looking good for the big day, so I reached out to Dana White, a nutrition consultant, registered dietitian and certified athletic trainer to ask her all of my calorie-burning questions.
Cameron Curtis: How can I slim down to look good in a dress without adding on too much muscle? I still want to look good in a strapless dress but not feel bulky. It seems like on the scale I weigh more, but I feel and look fitter.
Dana White: Ideally, you want to burn fat and build muscle to get that healthy and toned look. Basically, you are losing the right kind of weight (fat) and gaining the right kind of weight (muscle). For this reason, the number on the scale might not move as much as you think it should … what's most important is how you feel, not the number.
CC: When is the ideal time to start getting in shape and eating better for your wedding?
DW: Six months ahead of time is a perfect window. It gives you enough time to adopt an effective (and safe!) diet and exercise regimen. What's the point of putting all that work in if you can't maintain it?
CC: Potential disaster: My wedding is six weeks away, and I haven't done anything to slim down. What to do?
DW: Six weeks is still enough time to see results. Most experts will agree that 1 to 2 pounds a week is a safe pace to drop weight. So … six weeks can still allow for a 10-pound loss. Avoid crash diets or crazy diet pills – they just don't work. Nobody wants you passing out as you walk down the aisle.
CC: My days are going to get busier and busier the closer I get to the wedding. How can I squeeze in time to work out and eat right with everything that's going on?
DW: Make your fitness plan a priority; you will feel better and bemore energized! Nothing will fall apart if you set aside 30 minutes a day for a workout – it may be abbreviated, but it's better than nothing. As for eating right, avoid lots of take out and meals away from home when you can. Pack healthy snacks to tote along for busy days. Going all day without eating will lead to overdoing it at night.
CC: Is limiting calories enough? Do I really have to work out, as well?
DW: Working out is a must – especially if you want a toned look. But you have to be smart about it. You need to ease into it to avoid getting injured.
CC: My mom is worried that if I don't eat enough leading up to the wedding, I'll be sick on the day-of from over eating. Is that possible?
DW: Ha! Moms are always looking out for us. Well, it certainly could upset your stomach if you've avoided large meals and certain types of foods for months leading up to the wedding. Most brides will tell you that they are too busy to eat a lot during their big day, but … no matter what, it's important to pace yourself. Make sure you eat, especially if you're going to be drinking alcohol.
CC: I was raring to go to the gym right after my engagement and have been working out since then, but now I feel like I've plateaued. How can I stay motivated?
DW: It really helps to set realistic goals – you don't need to go to the gym seven days a week. You are more likely to stick to a program if it's manageable. To prevent boredom, try mixing things up … try a yoga or spin class or swim some laps. Grab a friend and go for a long walk. Cross-training is the best way to see full-body results.
CC: What should I cut out a few weeks before the wedding to avoid bloating?
DW: Don't cut back on fluids – you need to stay hydrated, especially if you're exercising. Watching your sodium intake may help – be extra careful with things like soy sauce (sushi?), canned soups, processed foods and cold cuts. Aim to keep your sodium intake between 1,500 and 2,300 milligrams per day. You can also cut back on portions of starchy carbs to help cut some water weight. But this doesn't mean cut out carbs entirely! You need them for energy.
CC: With all of the tastings, celebrations and dinners out leading up to the wedding, what's the best way to avoid over-eating?
DW: The best way to avoid over-eating is to … eat, sensibly, that is. Don't "save" your calories by not eating prior to these events. Eat a sensible breakfast, light snacks and meals leading up to these types of activities. Not eating all day, then heading to a party where there's nothing but high-cal foods and booze will set the stage for overeating.
CC: I'd love for everyone to join me in my getting-fit routine. How can I encourage my bridesmaids to get in shape without offending anyone?
DW: I would suggest some subtle hints and leading by example. You will all be spending extra time together, so make the most of it … hit the gym together, or arrange for a group yoga class. Have a girls' night where you can all cook some healthy recipes. Hopefully your healthy habits will catch on.

Forged Alliance official campaign map
|20x20 km
|Aeon Loyalists, led by Crusader Rhiza, were captured while conducting sabotage and intelligence missions against Order and QAI positions. You must rescue the Loyalists being held by QAI and defeat all enemy commanders operating on the planet.
| Previous map:
| Next map:
X1CA_002 is an official campaign map from Forged Alliance. It is the second map.
Walkthrough/Strategy Edit
- Thwart the Order Assault
- Destroy the Order Forward Base
- Rescue the Loyalist POWs
- Survive the Counter-Attack
- Defeat the QAI Commander
- Eliminate the Order Resource Base
- Destroy the Order Defences (Aeon)
- Bring an Engineer, ACU or sACU to the Cybran Colony (Cybran)
- UEF Ravager (after first base)
- UEF Spearhead (after capturing prison)
- Cybran Jester (At start)
- Cybran Fire Beetle (after first base)
- Aeon Paragon (After capturing prison)
- Aeon Sprite Striker (At start)
Tips == Tip 1:When capturing the Loyalist Prison you should upgrade your ACU with teleportation so that you can teleport in and capture it and teleport out since Celene will have a extra base if you keep the order base alive thats guarding the prison. The prison area is only guarded by a single T2 defense and perhaps a few gunships. If you're Aeon you can use sACU for this.
Tip 2: You can fly a transport along the bottom of the map with engineers and build factories under your ally's stealth generators. This will allow you to build T3 units (especially heavy artillery) and flank the QAI half of the base.
You start with nothing but your ACU, so standard build orders are necessary. There is a substantial amount of reclaimable mass in the ruins of the base surrounding your start location, so you can use them to boost your early mass generation. Build your defenses at the only entrance point on the right. You should build up your base as much as possible before destroying the base in the first stage.
The second stage can be ended very quickly by the method in Tip 1, however you do want to build up some experimentals and maybe strategic missile launcher before completing it.
After this, you'll see about 20 units appear on the far right of the map, twelve of these being Experimental units, 6 Monkeylords and 6 Galactic Colossi. These, believe it or not, are harmless to your main base as when they reach the remains of QAI's base the GCs will ally with you and destroy the Monkeylords. Note that if you place some experimental units (ideally GC's, Monkeylords and/or a few Soul Rippers) at the edge of the map, they can wipe out the entire experimental group before the GCs switch sides. Any remaining GCs will attempt to march towards QAI's base, however the base is heavily defended by Monkeylords and a Soul Ripper. You can train some T3 Gunships and some ASF and when the experimentals appear, primary the Monkeylords only (the GC cannot attack air). When the GC become allied, they will turn around and head towards QAI's base. Use the ASF and try to take out the Soul Ripper and any remaining gunships can target the Monkeylords patrolling QAI's base. With some adequate ASF coverage of the GC, they can take out most of QAI's base themselves.
If you're UEF, a Mavor will do the job easily, since you only need to destroy the ACU. You can also use Fatboys but you'll have to destroy the Soul Ripper first.
If you're Cybran, you can build some Soul Rippers to crush the ACU, or you can try to use Scathis but since Scathis has slightly less range than heavy artilleries you won't be able to fire it fom your base, thus you'll have to move it to one of Celene's base.
If you're Aeon, don't bother with the Paragon, just use two CZARs for an easy victory, or you can use Tempest but beware of that Soul Ripper.
Useful Information
This is the mission UEF gets their T3 PD Ravager, which makes for a powerful defense, obviously, as it's the only T3 point defense in the game. Bases will, naturally, fare well against any attack with 15 of these outside your base. UEF thrive on symmetrical layouts and visible designs, so make a line of five Heavy Shields between the beach and the mountain ridge, with 15 T2 point defence on the right-hand side and 15 SAMs the left.
If you're UEF you can, at this point, reclaim the Triads and construct Ravagers where they used to be, however T2 Point Defence will still hold back most units.
In this mission the Aeon unlock use of their Experimental Resource Generator plus their Tech 3 Sniper Bot and the Cybran gain the Light Gunship plus the Fire Beetle Mobile Bomb.
If you are playing as Aeon,you can get a free CZAR strike(complete with air units inside).
Walkthrough/Strategy (Hard Mode)Edit
Welcome to the Hard Mode section. Many of the tactics used here are unnecessary in normal mode, but crucial in hard mode. The order and timing of your actions are crucial in the beginning of each mission (and each stage) in order to survive the early assaults, and in most cases you'll need to capture enemy factions in order to make things easier. A general rule to remember in hard mode is that you must allow yourself to build up as much as possible before ending each stage in order to prepare for what's coming, thus you must be familiar with the flow of the mission.
This mission is slightly easier than the previous one because the only difficult area is the early part of stage 1, and there's no strategic air strikes to worry about.
Stage 1Edit
Unlike in normal mode, which only requires you to kill 12 units, you now have a staggering 47 units, including 2 T2 Blazes, all need to be killed by your totally un-upgraded ACU alone. Minimise the damage you take by walking in circles and stay behind the Aeon buildings. Walking in circles allow you to avoid the shells from the massive numbers of Fervor artilleries, since they have minimal damage radius but has very high DPS (in fact their DPS is comparable to their T2 Obsidian), thus if you stay still you'll be in trouble.
After eliminating the units, move to the area on the northeast where there're two empty mass deposits and immediately start building a land factory then 4 power plants. Even while building them you'll have to watch out for stray units around the area as well as be ready for the T1 assaults. Use the same walk-in-circle tactic against those Fervors. Don't bother building defenses yet; they'll just get destroyed, instead get two T1 engineers to help with the base, then immediately start upgrading the factory to T2. If you're Cybran, right about now you'll unlock the Jester, which can help killing those T1 units, but don't build too many of them as you want to reach T2 ASAP. You wont have mass extractors yet so have one engineer reclaim the extractor wheckage at the deposits then those building wheckages at northeast. Don't over-reclaim: you dont want any wastage since you don't have extractors yet.
Now, the reason why you should choose that spot for your base is because that spot is off the enemy assault waypoint: enemy units will come in from the lone entrance point, move straight to the west, then down to the Loyalist base. If you build your base at any other area you'll receive the blunt of the attack, thus the area northeast of the Loyalist base is the only "safe" spot and allow you to avoid most of the attacks. Notice i say most: you still have to fed off some units, and the upcoming T2 assaults will have enough range to attack you. Do not worry about the Loyalist base: they can hold off the T1 units for a while, but they wont last when the enemy starts using T2 units. Still, losing the Loyalist base won't cause a mission failure, in fact losing them allows you to have two more deposits. This is particularly important when playing as Cybran, since the T2 Cerberus point defense is weak against their shielded Obsidians, so you might want to use the Loyalist base to draw off their fire until you can get some Rocket Bots to counter them.
When your factory reaches T2, immediately build 4 mobile flaks to prepare for the gunship assaults, then get some T2 engineers and have two build some T1 power plants (about 20 will do) then the two T2 mass extractors while the other two build a shield generator on top side of the factory; it is time to form a defense line. Remember to have your T1 engineers reclaim destroyed units so you have enough mass for all this. After you have the shield, build T2 point defenses and T2 flaks under it. The enemy should began to use T2 units in their assaults now so you can't delay. After you have the T2 extractors, start building a T2 power plant and another shield beside the first one. If you're Cybran make sure your shields is at ED3. Don't upgrade further though; you want small shields for the frontline defense to avoid gunships wonder into the shield and destroy the structure. Now, continue building T2 shields to the left and build T2 defenses under them, while at the back continue building some T2 power plants. Be mindful of the available mass: reclaim those destroyed gunships as they worth the most mass. Do this until you reach another mass deposit which is at northwest of the Loyalist base: you'll need about a chain of 5 to 7 T2 shields in a line to reach. Also get some tactical missile defenses in place; those Evensongs can bring down your shields if you're not careful.
With that long defense line in place, you can start to relax and its time to upgrade your ACU and your factory to T3. You should have 3 mass extractors now, which is enough once you upgraded them to T3 and surrounded them with storage. Get some T3 shields (ED5 for Cybran) at the back of your defense line to cover them as well as the base. Start building T3 power plants and get some mass fabricators as well, since unlike skirmish they only consume 1000 power each rather than 3500. Also get some SAMs around the base but you don't have to worry about any huge air strikes since they won't be any. Get a Quantom Gate and build some sACUs. A strategic missile strike is not likely but you can build a strategic defense if you're the paranoid type.
Start building experimentals. A Mavor is nice for UEF though not vital if you capture Aeon tech, and Soul Rippers for Cybran, and Colossi and CZARs for Aeon. You only need land experimentals and soul rippers for defenses since the following two stages will end very quickly if you follow this guide. Use the Mavor/Soul Ripper/CZAR to destroy those power generators to complete the objective, then attack the base, aim for defenses, petrol units, and mass extractors. Leave the engineers and production building alone for UEF/Cybran since you want to capture the Aeon engineers. For UEF you may want to use Broadswords for this because Mavor can easily do too much damage, however you can build your Mavor nearer so that some buildings are inside the minimum range. Transport an sACU over to capture. Build up your new Aeon base and get some Aeon SACUs to build some CZARs for the final stage. Make sure you have an Aeon sACU with teleportation upgrade.
Also you can build a second base at the area with the hydrocarbon deposit if you like, since you can get 3 more mass deposits there to allow you build experimentals quicker.
When you're ready, destroy the base and proceed to next stage.
Stage 2Edit
Immediately teleport your Aeon sACU over and capture the prison, then teleport back. Job done. Now watch the epic battle between Colossi and Monkeylords and proceed to the next stage. In normal mode, there'll be 6 Monkeylords and 6 Colossi, however in hard mode there'll be 8 Monkeylords so a win is no longer a guarantee, and whats more to ensure its victory QAI will send 3 Soul Rippers to finish up, so unless you prepared CZARs/Soul Rippers to help them the Colossi will lose.
Stage 3Edit
To end the mission, simply send all your CZARs to the poor ACU and fry it to submission, though you only really need one.If Aeon,you can also use the CZAR Celene offers you. For Cybran/Aeon you may want to spend some time to complete the optional objectives, both easily achievable with the help of a CZAR, then for cybran transport an engineer to the destination or, even safer, teleport an Aeon sACU over.
Trivia Edit
The end cinematic shows loyalist T2 tanks, engineers, and a few Harbingers. In the campaign, the loyalists hardly ever build anything T2 let alone T3. They are effectively useless and the end cinematic should have quite weaker units.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The subject of this article is of a real-life person, place, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
Albania officially known as Republic of Albania is a country in Southeastern Europe. It borders Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro. The capital city is Tirana.[1]
When Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter, Helena, stole her mother's diadem, she hid it in an Albanian forest. It remained hidden for several centuries, until Tom Marvolo Riddle discovered that Helena was the Grey Lady, the House Ghost of Ravenclaw, and managed to get the information about its resting place from her. He recovered it, and turned it into one of his Horcruxes.[2]
Following his downfall in 1981, Tom Riddle, now known as Lord Voldemort, fled to Albania in his weakened state.[2] In 1991, he encountered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell, who was looking for him, so that he could at the very least try to capture him or at best learn from him. However, Quirrell overestimated himself, and Voldemort completely overpowered the man, thus leaving Albania and back to London.[3]
Following his failed attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort returned to Albania,[4] where he was discovered by his former servant, Peter Pettigrew in 1994. Voldemort also broke the mind of Bertha Jorkins in Albania after she ran into Pettigrew at a wayside inn, learning of the Triwizard Tournament and setting into motion a plan to kill Harry Potter and return to full vitality.[5]

Android can handle games, put you to work with office apps, and serve up films and music, but the heart of the operating system has always been about communication. Beyond allowing you to use the dialer or to tap out email responses to friends and colleagues, Android gives you a world of options to explore on the other side of the touchscreen glass, from free voice calls to video chats with a dozen users at once.
In addition, the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and Jelly Bean upgrades have introduced some welcome visual and organizational changes to keep Android competitive with its mobile OS rivals. Google+ is now integrated throughout; Contacts has morphed into the more muscular People app; and both Google Talk and Messaging have acquired some polish and cross-feature support.
In this article we'll look at some of the communications features, capabilities, and changes baked into post-ICS Android. We'll also consider how to set up Wi-Fi calling at minimal expense while sticking with Google's own services to carry the calls. Total cost? Six bucks.
Setting Up Messages
Sending text messages on Android isn't any more complicated than sending an email message. The messaging app is usually included on the dock or the home screen, keeping access a single tap away.
The first time you enter your messaging app, it will look like a ghost town. But don't worry—you'll have your phone chirping with new texts in no time. The big empty space that you start with is where Android will store your future texts. Selecting the New Message icon (its location varies depending on the phone you have) brings up the text composition page, where you'll select the recipient from your contacts list or manually enter the number at the top of the screen. Once entered, recipient numbers persist in the message thread, so you don't have to reenter any such number each time you respond. You can specify multiple recipients, and most carriers also allow you to enter an email address instead of a telephone number, so your texts can reach beyond your cell network.
Text messages run a bite-size, hard-coded 130 characters, so it's a good idea to choose your words wisely. If a message runs long, most flavors of Android automatically divide it into multiple texts—but you never know when a series of texts will arrive out of order, owing to carrier issues. URLs, email addresses, physical addresses, and telephone numbers appear as links in texts, so be careful while scrolling through messages: An inadvertent tap can bring up another menu.
Once you've sent your message, a timestamp will appear next to the text in the threaded conversation timeline, confirming that the carrier has received it and passed it along. The timestamped entry serves as a return receipt, and it's a fairly reliable indicator that everything went normally on your side. The texting log book is persistent, with each message saved to memory. Unless you purge it or set size limits, it will grow with time and use, eventually slowing the phone's responsiveness. Deleting or archiving conversations regularly is a smart way to avoid log-book glut—and it's not a bad security habit either.
When you receive a text, you can add the sender to your contacts list by tapping the profile picture from the conversation list. You'll receive a prompt to create a new contact entry or to update an existing entry with an additional number. Once entered, the number becomes available for quick entry via autofill. Android saves partially written texts as drafts, as long as they include a recipient.
The OS supports attachments, too, in case you have more to say than text can handle. Photos, map data, videos, audio clips, contact info, and other types of data are included, though the array of attachable items will depend on your version of Android and on your phone's features.
Google Voice
A huge, often untapped benefit that Android offers its users is a free second telephone number, along with a full-featured voicemail and telecommunication service tied to every Gmail account in the form of Google Voice. Most people tend to think of Google Voice as a Skype clone, but there's a lot more to it than that.
Once you sign in to the app with your Google credentials, you'll see a prompt to select a telephone number from a list of available numbers in the area code of your choosing. If you want to receive calls, your next step is to identify the number that you want Google Voice to forward your calls to. You can arrange to have Google Voice forward calls to multiple phone numbers, and even to forward calls to different numbers, depending on the time of day or the person calling.
The next step is to decide how you want Voice to work when you make calls. You can choose to route all of your calls through Google Voice, international calls only, no calls at all, or just the calls that you designate manually on a per-call basis. You can alter these choices at any time via Options in the Settings area.
Google Voice comes with a full-featured voicemail client that can screen calls and transcribe audio messages. In call screening, a recorded message requests the caller's name and then forwards that information to you while the caller waits on hold. Voicemail transcription creates text versions of messages left for you and then forwards a copy of them to the email addresses you provide. The accuracy of the transcriptions isn't perfect, but it's close enough to enable you to understand the nature of most messages.
These features and others push Google Voice ahead of most carriers' bundled voicemail services; and users who want to cut the phone cord entirely can opt for full integration of the service, which replaces your carrier-supplied telephone number and voicemail service with Voice-supplied ones. I don't recommend choosing full integration, however, as it reduces the flexibility you would get by keeping multiple lines. Also, reversing some aspects of the process can be difficult.
Google Voice offers myriad options not available from normal phone plans. You can schedule "do not disturb" hours via Settings so that Voice will automatically route all calls to voicemail during a specified period of time. Outgoing calls can originate from any phone registered to the Google Voice account but they connect via Google Voice's number, which is what rings through on the recipient's phone. You can prepare separate recorded messages for different callers, and you can forward incoming texts to email accounts.
Google Voice also includes a Gmail-style inbox that records activity on your phone, including everything from texts to voicemails. You can access this inbox from Android or via the browser on your PC or any other Internet-equipped device. Domestic and internet-based calls are free, while international calls are billed in accordance with a rate chart.
Google Hangouts
Google Hangouts are enhanced chat rooms that support video, text, audio, shared whiteboards, and other features. They are a popular option with desktop Google+ users, but you can also easily create a Hangout using the Android version of Google+, if you know where to look.
Find a Google+ conversation or profile entry for the first guest you want to invite. The guest needn't be online; your goal is simply to get to the next screen. Once you've opened the conversation or profile, you'll see a camera icon on the upper-right side of the screen. Click it to invite the user to your Hangout. You'll hear a ringtone, and the game is on.
You can invite additional people via the invite menu until you're happy with the guest list, but bear in mind that hangouts are limited to 12 friends at a time. Once the list is set, return to the conversation screen, check your camera and go live by clicking the Hang out button at the bottom of the window. You can continue to invite friends even after initiating the Hangout.
If someone invites you to a Hangout, you'll receive a notification alert. You can swipe left to reject the request, or swipe right to accept it. A preview video feed from your camera helps you prep for your coming close-up. Once in the Hangout, you'll find that video feeds appear along the bottom of the screen, with the main feed shown in the center. Tapping one of the lower feeds brings up a menu that allows you to pin the video from that feed to your center area, mute audio, block a user, or view a user's profile.
Switching out of the Hangout screen, either to return to Google+ or to go to another application, will pause your video feed but won't remove you from the Hangout entirely until you tap the 'hang up receiver' button on the upper right of your screen. The Hangout will remain active even after the user who initiated it leaves, until all users in the hangout have departed.
At the moment, you can't initiate Hangouts On Air—a feature designed for sharing Hangouts with a larger audience via YouTube, Google+, and other sources—via Android, though you can use your device to join Hangouts On Air. The development team at Google+ has promised full support for the feature.

'I sleep for five nights outta the week... in an office on the lot... I park my car on the lot,' shares John Corbett about his sleeping arrangements during 'United States of Tara' shooting.
"Sex and the City" star John Corbett saves money while filming in Los Angeles by sleeping in an office. The thrifty actor lives two hours drive from Los Angeles, so when he's shooting hit TV series The "United States of Tara" with Toni Collette five days a week, he chooses to save cash on gas and accommodation by sleeping on the lot.
The "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" star says, "I'm not gonna drive home every night and I don't wanna spend more dough (money) on an apartment, because I already have a mortgage. So I said to the guys when they gave us a little dressing room, I said, 'I notice there's a little empty dressing room over there; any chance you could throw a futon and a TV in there'."
"So I sleep for five nights outta the week... in an office on the lot... I park my car on the lot and I go up on Ventura Boulevard after we finish around nine or 10 at night, have a few beers and then I stumble back through that old studio."
But Corbett fears going public with his sleeping arrangements could cause a few problems - because actors and crew members are forbidden from spending the night on the lot. He adds, "You're not allowed to sleep there... All the guards, they think I'm a writer on the show... and I'll come back at two in the morning, 'Hey boys!' They'll say, 'You're here late; you gonna work all night?' and I go, 'Write all night long.' It's a really cool vibe... I've got a nice shower in there, I've got the cable. I've got everything I need."

With a little help from replay review, he actually got the call -- and went on to help the Phillies to a 4-3 win over the Nationals on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park, giving the Phils their first series win over a National League East opponent since June 18.
With the game tied at 3, Revere led off the eighth inning with a grounder to short. Ian Desmond's throw was high, but first-base umpire Gary Cederstrom ruled that Kevin Frandsen held the bag with his right foot. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg challenged the out call, and after a review of just under three minutes, the umpires ruled that the throw pulled Frandsen off the bag and called Revere safe.
"I was pretty sure I was safe, but I knew it was close," Revere said. "I kind of snuck a look into the dugout, like, 'We should try it.' It was a tough play; he had to rush it."
"I thought it was a base hit, actually," said Sandberg. "That was a tough play, for a guy that's chasing a batting title. That was bang-bang. It was an easy one to look at, and obviously a big play in the game."
Desmond was charged with an error on the throw.
Revere stole second -- his 39th steal of the season -- and Jimmy Rollins followed with a fly ball to right field that moved Revere to third. Carlos Ruiz followed with a sacrifice fly to center, and Revere trotted home with the go-ahead run.
"I wanted to take off early," Revere said. "I thought they might pitch out, but when I figured they were going after [Rollins], I had to get that stolen base. Jimmy came up big, getting me over."
With Tuesday's win, the Phillies took a series from an NL East opponent for the first time since sweeping the Braves in Atlanta from June 16-18. The Phillies had lost 29 of 44 games against the NL East since May 11. The Phillies have now won three consecutive series for the first time since June 2-14. They had to overcome a rare stumble by Cole Hamels to do it, and Hamels wasn't exactly in the mood to discuss it afterward.
Hamels has been one of the best pitchers in baseball the last three months, entering this start with a 1.77 ERA since June 1. He dominated the Nationals for six innings but faltered in the seventh. After giving up two runs and escaping a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, Hamels came back out for the eighth and gave up a game-tying home run to Asdrubal Cabrera. Sandberg immediately came to get him, and Hamels looked agitated on the mound.
Asked if he was upset at himself or at being removed from the game, Hamels said: "I just think it was a good game and we were able to win."
Asked if that meant he was upset at himself or at being removed from the game, Hamels said: "It was a good game that we won."
Sandberg, asked about Hamels' mood, said: "I haven't talked to him yet.
"Cole cruised for six innings, but he had some problems with location in the seventh. Then he went out in the eighth in a hitter-by-hitter situation. I gave him a verbal [indication that he was hitter-by-hitter]. I don't think it made a difference. There was some talk about [not letting him pitch the eighth], but sending him out hitter-by-hitter with [Ken] Giles behind him was the route to go."
Hamels allowed just three hits over the first six innings, but then gave up five hits to the last nine batters he faced.
"He had everything working," Desmond said. "He had a good tempo going. Everything was working for him. But that's a testament to us, rattling off three runs -- that's a big homer by Cabby right there."
In fairness, Sandberg was having a game where he could do little wrong. Hamels' early run support came from a Sandberg move to put Freddy Galvis and Darin Ruf in the lineup in place of Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Galvis hit a two-run homer off Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez in the fifth to break open a scoreless game, and Ruf added a solo shot in the sixth.
Utley is 3-for-17 lifetime against Gonzalez, while Howard is hitless against Gonzalez in 11 at-bats with six strikeouts. Utley is also 3-for-29 on this homestand. Galvis and Ruf each had two hits Tuesday.
"Gio is tough against some of our left-handed bats, so we wanted to get after him with some of our right-handed hitters," Sandberg said.
For five innings, Gonzalez was tough on everybody. The Phillies got a runner to third base in the second, but stranded Ruf when Andres Blanco hit into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play. But Grady Sizemore led off the fifth inning with a triple to center, and Galvis followed with his homer. Ruf's homer in the sixth made it 3-0.
That's when Hamels faltered -- in the top of the seventh, Anthony Rendon led off with a single. Jayson Werth topped a ball in front of home plate for one out, but Desmond singled off the glove of Blanco and Scott Hairston walked. Wilson Ramos singled to right to score one run, and the Nationals had Hamels in real trouble for the first time.
Frandsen singled to right and the Nationals cut the lead to 3-2, with the bases still loaded. Pinch-hitter Danny Espinosa scorched a line drive right at Rollins for the second out and Hamels got Denard Span to bounce out to first to end the threat.
Giles, who relieved Hamels after the Cabrera homer, picked up the win, striking out all three batters he faced in the eighth, and Jonathan Papelbon finished for his 33rd save. It was Papelbon's 100th save as a member of the Phillies, tying Brad Lidge for fourth place on the team's all-time saves list.

9/11 Memorial Grove Ceremony
2006 Ceremony
Moving words, reflective music and simple symbolism highlighted Fairfax County's fifth annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony held on the grounds of the Government Center on Sept. 11, 2006. Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly, Fire Chief Michael Neuhard and Police Chief David Rohrer delivered remarks that reflected on that dark day five years ago.
"On Sept. 11, 2001 our nation learned something about heroes. We learned that heroes do not know one nation or faith. We learned that heroes are those who reach into themselves in the time of great danger," Connolly said. "Today we join hearts and hands across our nation and around the world as we remember the heroes, the sacrifice and the loss of that fateful day." (Read text of remarks)
In his reflections on the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Neuhard said, "It is just and right that we stand here today in this beautiful garden, to again focus our undivided attention and thoughts on those who lost their lives." (Read text of remarks)
"It is hard too for us to commemorate Sept. 11 without recalling vividly the haunting images, and exactly where we were or what we were doing that morning," Rohrer said. "We provide strength to each other by remaining committed to values of freedom, service, loyalty and self-sacrifice." (Read text of remarks)
In addition to the words shared, the ceremony included laying of a wreath and tolling of a bell to remember the victims and families of Sept. 11. The Fairfax County Public Safety Honor Guard led a procession to the 9/11 Memorial Grove and The Fairfax Jubil-Aires performed patriotic music.
The 9/11 Memorial Grove was approved by the Board of Supervisors and designed by Michael McMahon, Fairfax County Tree Commission chair and a landscape architect for the National Park Service. The site itself contains symbolism representative of that tragic day in 2001. (Read more about the symbolism)

Seriously? Police Handcuff Kindergartner for Having a Tantrum at School
Is any tantrum bad enough to justify handcuffing a kindergartner?
-Lylah M. Alphonse, Yahoo! Shine
Six-year-old Salecia Johnson was having a massive temper tantrum at Creekside Elementary School when school officials called the police in Midgeville, Georgia, on Friday.
But after failing to calm the 6-year-old, the police officer handcuffed the kindergartner with her hands behind her back, walked her to the police cruiser, and took her down to the police station.
"She called the police on me for no reason," the little girl told WMAZ-TV. Pointing to her wrists, the child added, "It hurt on my arms."

According to the police report, Salecia had been sent to the principal's office that morning for pushing two other students and throwing items off of the teacher's desk. The police were called after the girl refused to go inside the principal's office and began running down the hallway screaming, the report said.
By the time the police arrived, the 6-year-old was in the office and had ripped calendars, photos, and other decorations off of the walls, thrown books and toys, and knocked over a small shelf that hit the principal in the leg, the report said. At the police station, the little girl was charged with simple assault and damage to property; she's also been suspended from school until August. Given her age, she won't have to appear in court.
The arresting officer wrote in the police report that the little girl had had to be "restrained with a pair of handcuffs for her safety as well as others safety in the area."
The town's acting police chief, Dray Swicord, defended the arresting officer on Tuesday. "Our policy is that any detainee transported to our station in a patrol vehicle is to be handcuffed in the back," he told the news station. "There is no age discrimination on that rule."
While her mother, Constance Ruff, says that Salecia is prone to "mood swings," ("I guess that was just one of her bad days that day," she told WMAZ-TV), the girl's aunt, Candace Ruff — who picked her up from the police station that day — underscored the absurdity of the situation.
"Call the police? Is that the first step? Or is there any other kind of intervention that can be taken to help that child?" she asked. "She might have misbehaved, but I don't think she misbehaved to the point where she should have been handcuffed and taken downtown to the police department."

A biomedical scientist (or biomedical doctor, biomedician, medical scientist), is a scientist educated in the field of biological science, especially in the context of medicine. Biomedicians are typically active in biomedical research in fields such as Anatomy, Pathology, Physiology, Pharmacology,Microbiology and traditionally tend to have more limited contact with patients. The recent trend is that these scientists work closely with engineers and technologists to find innovative ways to cure diseases by developing advanced diagnostic tools and treatment methodologies where physicians play a pivotal role.
Biomedical sciences must not be confused with Pathology and microbiology.
The general motivation may be stated as: "to increase the body of scientific knowledge on topics related to medicine."[1] Biomedical scientists study disease, drugs, and other topics related to human health. Their role is to develop or improve treatments, vaccines, equipment, and techniques involving health care.[1][2]
Biomedical scientists tend to focus more on complex medical science and research over treatment techniques and day-to-day medicine as their more patient-oriented physician counterparts.
Professionals educated in fields other than medicine might also contribute to medical overall knowledge. Examples include biological scientists such as molecular biologists.
Description Edit
Biomedical scientists study aspects of living organisms, such as reproduction, growth, and development to develop treatments, prevent disease, and promote health.[3] Their research can investigate health (basic) or investigate how to prevent disorders (applied). Scientists may use human volunteers or models. Workplaces include institutes, hospitals or industries, laboratory-based.[1]
People in this field may:[1]
- experiment and interpret medical results
- keep records of data and use computers to analyze them
- teach and supervise students
- apply for grants
- collaborate with others in the same field
- consider potential of research products
- share results with colleagues
- give presentations at conferences
- write papers for publication
- keep up to date via the Internet and scientific meetings
- implement medical diagnosis
- advise in medical treatment
Biomedical education programs (sometimes known as Medical Scientist Training Program) are given at most medical faculties around the world, usually with the aim to create professionals with future leading positions in medical research and development.[citation needed]
The education has a clear focus on human biology and basic science and how this knowledge can be transferred into a medical and clinical setting.
United KingdomEdit
The programs usually encompass an initial bachelors degree, which is presupposed for two years of further studies eventually earning the students a medicine master's examina (that might however differ in extent and depth between different countries and/or faculties). Nevertheless many students choose to study on (for as much as) another 4 years to earn the higher Ph.D/Doctor's degree, at this time the students specialize in a certain medical area such as, for example, nephrology, neurology, oncology or virology (by now the student has passed a maximum 9 years of higher learning).
In the UK specifically, prospective undergraduate students wishing to undertake a BSc in biomedical sciences are required to apply via the UCAS application system (usually during the final year of college or sixth form secondary school).
A PhD in Biomedicine is however required for most higher research and teaching positions, which most colleges and universities offer.[3] These graduate degree programs may include classroom and fieldwork, research at a laboratory, and a dissertation.[2] Although a degree in a medicine or life science is common, recent research projects also need graduates in statistics, bioinformatics, physics and chemistry.[1] Abilities preferred for entry in this field include: technical, scientific, numerical, written, and oral skills.[1]
Students who complete a bachelor's degree can work in non-research positions such as performing, less advanced, medical tests at hospitals or assisting Biomedical doctors in their work. When in high school, students should prepare themselves for this field by taking science and health-related courses such as biology, chemistry, and mathematics.[3]
Areas of specialization Edit
Medical scientists can specialize, for example, in the following areas, which are explained:[2][3]
- Anatomist: studies animals' organ structures and relates them to medicine
- Bacteriologist: studies bacteria[4]
- Biochemist: studies the chemical composition of cells and the chemistry behind biological processes
- Molecular Biologist: studies the molecular makeup and processes of living organisms
- Biophysicist: studies mechanical and electrical energy in living cells and tissues
- Cell biologist: studies cell-level organization and processes
- Embryologist: investigates infertility[5]
- Epidemiologist: studies causes and spread of and how to prevent diseases
- Geneticist: studies traits of humans and animals
- Hematologist: studies of the blood, such as blood cells, and mechanisms of coagulation. (See hematology). May also be involved in Blood transfusion.
- Histopathologist: studies how disease affects tissues
- Immunologist: studies the immune system
- Microbiologist: studies characteristics of microorganisms
- Neuroscientist: studies on function and structure the nervous system, including brain
- Parasitologist: studies parasites
- Pharmacologist: studies effects of drugs on biological systems
- Virologist: studies viruses and viral diseases[6]
- Nephrologist: studies and treats disease of the kidney
- Oncologist: studies and treats the complications of cancer.
- Pathologist: studies and diagnoses disease through examination of organs, tissues, cells and bodily fluids.
- Rheumatologist: the diagnosis and therapy of rheumatic diseases.
Salaries and work conditions Edit
Biomedical scientists are employed by federal and state governments, are consultants for chemical and pharmaceutical business firms, or work in laboratories where they perform tests and experiment.[2][3] In the United States, the average salary for research scientists is $86,393.[citation needed] In the United Kingdom, they are paid anywhere from £20,000 to £60,000, depending on experience, education, and position.[1]
Laboratory experiments often include toxic or radioactive materials and dangerous organisms.[1][2] Safety procedures must be followed to avoid contamination.[2] Ethical issues are brought up when research scientists work with animals and animal products, like stem cells.[1]

Biomedical scientist is the protected title used by professionals working within the pathology department of a hospital.[7] The biomedical sciences are made up of the following disciplines; biochemistry, haematology, immunology, microbiology, histology, cytology, bacteriology and transfusion services. These professions are regulated within the United Kingdom by the Health professions council. Anyone who falsely claims to be a biomedical scientist commits an offence and could be fined up to £5000.
Each department specialises in aiding the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Entry to the profession requires an Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) accredited BSc honours degree followed by a minimum of 12 months laboratory training in one of the pathology disciplines, however the actual time spent training can be considerably longer. Trainees are also required to complete a certificate of competence training portfolio, this requires gathering extensive amounts of evidence to demonstrate professional competence. At the end of this period the trainees portfolio and overall competence are assessed if successful state registration is achieved. State registration indicates that the applicant has reached a required standard of education and will follow the guidelines and codes of practice created by the health professions council.More recently a co-terminus degree has been implemented to bring the profession in to line with the other professions allied to health care. Students now participate in a placement year,which lasts 15 weeks, in either the second or third years of their degree. Students are then awarded their state registration on completion of their degree. Placements are not guaranteed and places are limited to the top students, those who do not get placements can follow the old style of registration but are at a serious disadvantage when applying for posts.
Biomedical scientists are the second largest profession registered by the Health Professions Council and make up a vital component of the health care team. Many of the decisions doctors make are based on the test results generated by biomedical scientists. Despite this, much of the general public are unaware of biomedical scientists and the important role they play. This lack of awareness extends to many doctors and nurses; often biomedical scientists are incorrectly referred to as laboratory technicians.
Biomedical scientists are not exclusively confined to NHS laboratories. Biomedical scientists along with scientists in other inter-related medical disciplines seek out to understand human anatomy, physiology and behaviour at all levels. This is sometimes achieved through the use of model systems that are homologous to various aspects of human biology. The research that is carried out either in Universities or Pharmaceutical companies by biomedical scientists has led to the development of new treatments for a wide range of degenerative and genetic disorders. Stem cell biology, cloning, genetic screening/therapies and other areas of biomedical science have all been generated by the work of biomedical scientists from around the world.

"I have participated as a judge in the program for several years
now and it has been a very enjoyable experience that I look forward
to continuing. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect is seeing the
enthusiasm, not to mention the talent level, of the student
attorneys. It's rewarding to be part of a program that gives
developing citizens a truer picture of the rule of law in American
society. Otherwise, they may be left with the distorted views
portrayed in the popular media of what our justice system and a
lawyer's role are all about."

"The Mock Trial Program is an effective way of extending each
court into its community. It has been rewarding to see the complex
cases tried in a professional, skillful and dignified manner. The
give and take of arguing objections is indicative that the students
have not only mastered the process but can think on their feet
under pressure."
William A. McEvoy Jr., first assistant
clerk-magistrate of the Newton District Court

"The Mock Trial experience is one that cannot be duplicated in a
classroom setting. The program helps to connect students to each
other, helps to build their confidence and draws out talents
previously unrecognized by the students themselves."
Jerry Howland, headmaster of Another Course to

Trial team
"The consistent participation among the students, increasingly
experienced coaching and terrific dedication of the teams produce
wonderful trials year after year. I'm continually amazed at how
these students do and how well they completely grasp the materials.
I find that even with the increasing complexity of issues presented
in each year's case, the students continue to exhibit outstanding
Mock Trial Committee member and volunteer judge, MBA
member Arthur Carakatsane
"I graduated high school this past year, and spent the summer
doing an internship with the Suffolk County District Attorney's
Office in Boston. Within a week of starting at the DA's office, I
developed a completely new appreciation for the high school mock
trial program and the wonderful opportunities it afforded me.
Because of my experiences with mock trial, I was more familiar with
the Massachusetts case law on many legal issues than most of the
law students, and even some of the lawyers, with whom I was
I also worked at the Suffolk Superior Courthouse in the First
Criminal Session and the Grand Jury , and the knowledge I acquired
of rules of evidence and criminal procedure through the mock trial
program was an incredible asset for me.
Although even before my summer experiences I knew mock trial was
the greatest thing of which I have ever been a part, immersing
myself in the "real world" of law for the past few months made me
realize what an immeasurable advantage the mock trial program gives
students like me who are passionate about the law. Mock Trial
allowed me to realize my passion for the practice of law. It has
been a fantastic springboard for me and my future in the legal
profession. I know that no matter what I end up doing or what area
of the law I choose to pursue, I will be in a courtroom somewhere
using the skills I first developed through the Mock Trial program,
and I will know that in some crucial and fundamental way,
everything I go on to do started with this.
Sarah Chervinsky, four year member of the Newton North
Mock Trial Team [ed. note -- Sarah begins her

"Mock Trial is not really about who wins or loses. The aim of
Mock Trial aim is to provide each student with a chance to grow as
an individual - to grow as someone who is able to work with and
support others, as an informed citizen who understands our legal
system, and as a future leader who will use those skills to improve
the lives of others in his or her community. These goals are
achieved when each student participates at any level of the

Mini stroke
All of a sudden I lost vision in my left eye. I went to my eye surgeon and had checked my eyes and told me that there was nothing wrong with my eyes. That the only thing that he can think of that would cause it is a mini stroke. I have high blood pressure that has been 130/80 for about 6 monhts. I also taking medications for rheumatiod arthritis. I am only 33 years old and never smoked in my life. What is the relationship between the mini stroke and the lost of vision? What could have caused this at such a young age?
From the way you described the events, I'm not sure I can give you a definitive answer to your question. There are two ways to lose vision from a stroke. The first would be to have the blood vessel blocked which supplies the back of the eye. This typically involves vision loss in one eye--no vision from the affected eye, but perfectly intact vision in the other eye. The second way is from a stroke that involves the part of the brain that serves vision. If this happens, the typical pattern of visual loss is to lose part of vision in both eyes (for example, you can't see the left half of the world from either eye). A stroke occurs when a blood vessel gets blocked, and the tissue fed by that vessel is irreversibly damaged. A mini-stroke, or transient ischemic attack, occurs when the vessel gets blocked transiently but then re-opens without permanent damage. This may be what happened to you if there is no lasting visual loss.
If a stroke is suspected, then you should work with your primary care physician or a neurologist to ensure that there is not an identified cause for the stroke (including imaging of the blood vessels supplying the eye and brain, as well as an echocardiogram to ensure there isn't a cardiac cause).

RELEGATED Malton & Norton RUFC will sign off from North One East at Cleckheaton tomorrow.
The Gannock-based club's stay in the league was ended by Driffield last weekend and head coach Chris Creber and his men only have pride to play for as they end their campaign in West Yorkshire.
Pocklington finish their North One East year with a tough trip to Sheffield.
Two months ago Pocklington would have been hot favourites to win in the steel city as Sheffield were marooned 11 points adrift at the foot of the table having been in bottom spot all season.
But they parted company with their coach and set off on a remarkable revival that has seen them win their last six games and have a real chance of avoiding relegation if they can get something out of tomorrow's clash.
In the same period, mid-table Pocklington's campaign has meandered along with just one win out of six.
Pock name a squad of 19 that includes back five forwards Dan Wilson and Marcus Britland and midfield backs Pete Massie and Dan Elliot, who were all unavailable last week.
While the season ends for most of the region's outfits this weekend, York still have three games to play. The Clifton Parkers travel to Acklam almost guaranteed a maximum haul.
The Teesside-based club haven't won any of their 25 games and have only picked up a measly four bonus points. Andy Kay, Russ Bowers and Darren Rutherford are among the squad that travels north.
A satisfactory season back in Yorkshire One ends for Selby at North Ribblesdale while York RI can make sure of seventh place in Yorkshire Four but they must beat champions Old Otliensians.

SMWC music therapy program receives community service award
November 12th, 2010 |
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) Music Therapy Program is the recipient of the Community Service Award, Provider of the Year, by The Human Resources Center of Edgar and Clark Counties. The annual award is bestowed upon organizations or groups who have demonstrated a commitment to the agency's mission of helping people help themselves through exceptional human service and community collaboration. The winning organization must also have served their consumers in a positive and meaningful way.
The SMWC music therapy students began providing music therapy in the day program for adults with developmental disabilities in the fall of 2009. SMWC music therapy students must obtain a minimum of 180 pre-internship clinical hours working with a variety of populations and diagnoses prior to completing a six-month internship after all coursework has been completed. Two music therapy students, Nicole Wieg, junior, and Jessica Zogbi, junior, were two of the students to work with the adults as part of their music therapy field placement last year.
"These students truly impacted the lives of those receiving music therapy and we wish to show our appreciation," said Karen Wolfe, rehabilitation services director.
SMWC Music Therapy Club president, Nicole Wieg and Associate Professor and Coordinator of Undergraduate Music Therapy Sharon Boyle, accepted the award on behalf of the entire music therapy program.
"Working with HRC has been a wonderful experience for all involved," Boyle said. "The music therapy students are able to offer structured music therapy applications to address a variety of therapeutic goals for the group members, and in return, they are able to learn so much from the very people they serve."

Topic: getting a flight home... things are moving too quickly.
My dear Mom went up to bed (nap) yesterday at 3pm and basically she has been in a sleeping , semi responsive state ever since. She is a few steps ahead of us on this as we just were getting teh 24 hour care in place- it will start at 8am tomorrow. Hospital bed ordered and will arrive tomorrow. Dining room cleared out today - it actually was my parents bedroom back in the day when all the kids were in house. This is an old NE farm house- dining room is nice and calm room.. my dad spent his last years sleeping there too... we did talk about my mom moving downstairs last week and she was OK with it. We just didnt know that we might have to call the fire dept to get her moved down stairs! Steep stairways. My poor dear siblings have been amazing taking this quite sudden and alarming change on before the expereinced help can start. I was under the impression that Hospice would be there 24/7= but i guess not. They are struggling to know whether to try to wake her to giveher her meds.. and i worry about her being able to swallow adaquatly, among the other 1000000 things i am worrying about.
I will be there friday am- and i am scared about everything after that.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The James Bond adventure "Skyfall" and the fantasy series "Game of Thrones" have picked up prizes for best stunt work from the Screen Actors Guild.
The stunt honors were announced Sunday on the red carpet before the official SAG Awards ceremony, as stars were gathering for their guild's big night.
JoBeth Williams and Scott Bakula announced the winners, noting the value of stunt players, who often are overlooked for their contributions to film and television.
Bakula said stunt workers keep actors healthy, alive and working.
The SAG honors are the latest show in a puzzling Academy Awards season in which Hollywood's top prize, the best-picture Oscar, looks up for grabs among several key nominees.

Not sure what temp it takes to 'fix' the oxide.
Main problem with brushing it on is that it can be 'spotty'. That can be good or bad. One time I wanted it heavy so I put it on greenware, bisqued and then reapplied on the bisque. It did come out heavier than usual (on bisque only). My intent was a very metallic no glaze finish.
This was just applied haevily to bisque:
Putting it on greenware helps it fix some, but it can still be rubbed off. So the temp required for a full fix is higher than cone 6.
This was put on bisque then rubbed off with sponge just to highlight:

Three thousand kilometers from tidewater, a porpoise surfaces. Then a foot-long skinny slasher of a fish grabs the streamer fly you strip through water the color of Lapsong tea and shreds it. Sweat runs down your nose. The February sun blazes.
Welcome to the Amazon, and to a tropical watershed of three million square miles that empties an astonishing equivalent of seven Mississippi Rivers into the Atlantic. Welcome to a misty-morning world of chattering green parrots and to an aquatic Eden wherein swim 2,500 species of freshwater fish.
But enough geology and hydrology and biology. Let's go fishing in Brazil's Rio Negro, the Amazon's largest left tributary and the world's largest blackwater river. Be prepared to cast nonstop. Cast until it hurts, then strip your fly as fast as you've ever stripped it back to a beat-up tin bass boat.
The guys and gals throwing treble-hooked plugs the size of hatchery rainbows are outfishing you. Get used to it. With rods as stiff as pool cues and rapid-retrieve casting reels, they make several casts half the length of a football field to every one you struggle with your 10-weight to get a big, air-resistant popper out around first-down territory. Ah-WHOOSH! That's the sound of these huge surface lures spraying water every which way. Ka-POOSHHH! That's the sound of a 20-pound tucunaré açu peacock bass crushing the lure with the finesse of a Labrador retriever hitting a swimming pool.
You catch many exquisitely colored yellow tucunaré borboleta–butterfly peacock–with radiant blue fins and scarlet eyes, weighing one to two pounds. Then one evening your guide dips his hand-carved wooden paddle into a mirror-still inky lagoon and points to a patch of surface movement as subtle as pinpricks. "Criancinha," he whispers–babies. You drop your garish streamer on the barely discernable riffle and strip long and slowly. A swirl the size of a washtub engulfs your fly. The calm surface explodes in fury. Your rod plunges violently. Overhead against the red sky, two dozen macaws–their wings and tails fanned in magnificent flight–are heading to roost in the Brazilian nut trees.

Getting Ready for Spring: Start Planning Your Gardenby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, In Season, March 23, 2011
Spring is officially here! Believe it or not, it's time to start making plans for your backyard garden. In a few short months (Mother Nature-permitting) you'll have a flourishing garden with a bounty of the most local produce you can get. Here are some simple tips to get you started.
What to Plant
Rule number one — grow things that you'll enjoy eating! You really can't go wrong from a nutrition standpoint with fresh veggies, but who cares about the nutrients in eggplant if no one in your house will eat it?! Give some thought to what everyone in the house really enjoys. If those options can realistically be grown in the space that you have, go for it!
Good basic options include herbs, lettuces, cucumbers, tomatoes and strawberries. If you're feeling more adventurous, try some root veggies like carrots, potatoes and leeks.
Also consider how much room you have for your garden plot. Crops like melons, summer squash and tomatoes can take over your whole garden if left untamed.
Whether you want to buy less-expensive seeds or easier-to-propagate seedlings (small starter plants), get your supplies from a reliable company (such as Burpee, Seeds of Change, The Cook's Garden and Gardener's Supply ) or stop by the farmers' market – many local farmers sell seeds and seedlings early in the season.
How to Plant
Once you've given some thought about what you want to grow, it's time to consider your garden layout. Pick a spot that gets an ample amount of direct daily sunlight and make sure you can easily get a water source over to it. Placement of plants is also important. For example, tomatoes like lots of sun, while lettuces prefer a shadier spot. For more ideas, refer to the experts – check out some popular layout designs. You can even purchase garden kits with all the seeds you need.
Don't have a yard for a garden? No problem! See our tips for easy grow-your-own with large pots and planters.
When to Plant
Since all types of crops grow differently, they need to be planted at various times throughout the growing season. Radishes and Swiss chard can handle being planted in cooler temps while peppers, watermelon, and tomatoes prefers things warmer. Exact planting dates will vary depending on where you live but online guides are available through state cooperative extension websites.

Hit the Road, Jack: Intel's Mobile Quad-Core Haswell SKUsby Jarred Walton on 6/1/2013 10:02 AM EST

tviceman - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - link"Intel has targeted roughly the level of performance offered by NVIDIA's GT 650M with their Iris Pro 5200 graphics"
In Anand's review it's obvious Intel fell considerably short of their targets, falling regularly 40-50% behind the GT 650m. And the 650m was just replaced by the 750m, so it will look even worse by comparison.
It's great integrated performance, but if a consumer is still wanting to AAA game regularly on their laptop discrete remains the clear choice. Reply
t.s - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkWell, Intel and their overpriced CPU, again. Why I'm not surprised? AMD, ARM, where are you? Reply
testbug00 - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkI don't know if i would truly call it a failure...
They failed compared to what they wanted to hit, but they also blew trinity/richland mobile to hell.
Of course, they also cost 3-4+ times as much..... so..... Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkPretty happy I'm not the only looking at these prices and going WTF?!
That integrated GPU isn't worth anywhere NEAR a 200 dollar premium. Intel needs to drop prices by 200 bucks basically across the board. It's getting to the point I don't even care how much faster they are; we're so far past "fast enough" I might just switch everything to AMD on principle. Waiting to see what the market does with all this hardware for any hard decisions; but for the first time ever I may not be buying a laptop with Intel inside. Reply
JDG1980 - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkHow many people actually play AAA games on their laptop? Benchmarks for "The Sims" or "World of Warcraft" would be more appropriate. That's the kind of thing normal users actually do. The truth is that "AAA" hardcore games are a tiny and shrinking niche. Reply
kyuu - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkBenchmarks for "The Sims" or "World of Warcraft" are uninteresting because even entry-level iGPUs are perfectly capable of playing those at 720p nowadays.
Also, you can easily extrapolate from benchmarks of more demanding games. If it can run Crysis at 720p, you can assume it won't have any trouble handling The Sims or WoW. Reply
Tetracycloide - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkThis simply isn't true. AAA games are as big or bigger than they ever were. Slower relative growth is not 'shrinking.' Reply
inighthawki - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkIt may not quite match the perf, but it also uses a lot less power. As you note from Anand's review, the 650M rMBP is 90W, vs haswell at 47W and 55W Reply
whyso - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkUm please tell me how the rmbp can possibly use 90 watts on an 85 watt power adapter? Reply
Cold Fussion - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkIt would discharge the battery while being connected to the power adapter presumably. Reply
Flunk - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkTDP is normally not actually hit. It's a worst-case scenario. Apple probably tested their product through and found 85W to be enough.
I have an Alienware m14x with basically the same specs as the rMBP 15", the adapter is 150watt. I think it's more a factor of Apple being cheap. Reply
Amaranthus - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkThey probably don't go over 85W but in the past Apple laptops would lock out the highest CPU clocks if you didn't have the battery in because they were capable of using more power than the adapter could provide. Reply
Hector2 - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkThe simple fact is that Intel is NOT trying to eliminate any reason to have discrete add-on GPUs. That would cost too much die real estate. What they ARE trying to do is to enable laptop OEMs to not need them in all but their high end laptops. They've accomplished that with Haswell by taking a huge chunk out of the performance gap between integrated & discrete GPUs. Even Apple will continue to use these for their lower price & ultrathin Mac Books Reply
skiboysteve - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkI use my work laptop with a core 2 due almost exclusively for CPU. But it has a power hungry nvidia Quattro gpu in there that is really slow. I'm really excited to upgrade to one of these in a smaller form factor instead of my old 6 pound dell. I need it to last just as long (3+ years) so I need the fastest CPU I can buy.
the question is: what is the better CPU performer? The 4900MQ with the higher clocks or the 4950HQ with the huge L4? I'm wondering if the performance is so similar I might as well get the 4950HQ just to have the GPU in case I need it. Next step is finding a thin light laptop with it included Reply
AFQ - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - link@Jarred
There is an error in the first table. Its Core i7-4930MX, not MQ. Reply
critical_ - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkYup, it's the Core i7-4930MX. Also, I am surprised the Extreme part doesn't have vPro, TXT, and VT-d. Is this a mistake? The 2920XM, 2960XM, and 3940XM all came with vPro and VT-d. I know because I own or have owned laptops will each of them. I am already disappointed to see "K" and "R" desktop parts lacking these features. It will only infuriate me further to see the Core i7-4930MX without them. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkUnless I messed up the table initially (which is entirely possible), the MX and the other top two MQ SKUs have VT-d/TXT/vPro; only the 470xMQ lack those. Reply
blackbrrd - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkLooking at the prices I do wonder what Intel is smoking. 300-1000$ for a cpu? Are they trying to destroy the PC market completely? They don't have any competition from AMD, but they have considerable competition from ARM based tablets.
No wonder people go for these when Intel sells just the CPU/GPU for 2x the price of a good tablet. Reply
madmilk - Saturday, June 01, 2013 - linkIf you can do all your work on a tablet, Intel is targeting you with a $50 Celeron or Atom, not a $300 i7. A Celeron with a small SSD/hybrid drive and a clean install of Windows/Linux/Chrome OS is extremely snappy for typical tablet tasks.
Of course, all the OEMs are stupid and sell i5 + HDD + bloatware instead, which for most use cases is slower. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkKeep in mind that at least for now, there are a ton of businesses that are still sticking with PCs and Laptops. Plus, while for some things an iPad or tablet will be "fast enough", try doing complex spreadsheet work or document editing on one. There are use cases where the fact that the quad-core Haswell chips are an order of magnitude faster than a tablet is still important. Paying three times as much as the cost of a basic tablet to get performance that's over 10X as high is not necessarily a bad investment, at least if your primary concern isn't mobility and battery life. Reply
t.s - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkIf excel / libreoffice spreadsheet not supporting multi threading, what benefit when you bought something like these compared to core i3? The real world performance to process the spreadsheet is not that significant.
For business I think i3 or AMD trinity is good enough. With notebook price about ~ 1/2 compared to this. Reply
t.s - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkErr.. I mean, excel / libreoffice spreadsheet, AFAIK, didn't scale with CPU number. Reply
zepi - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkI'm many cases price of your most important tool doesn't really matter that much. Even the most expensive laptop you can think of usually costs around 3000USD/EUR unless you really go for some industrial strenght military spacetech.
And when you are equipping your 100 000+ usd/eur per year salaried engineers with tools, that is really a drop in a bucket. Reply
skiboysteve - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkThis
my company of thousands of engineers use many performance demanding applications. We usually have a 2k budget on laptops. Reply
reininop - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkExactly. The software licenses on my laptop at work run over $15,000 a year. I don't think they are too worried about the extra 500 dollars it cost them to get a better processor over an i3. My salary + travel + software for 4 years (replacement lifetime) makes the entire cost of the laptop about 0.5% or less of the cost of employing me over that time.
And i'm not even a software engineer. I work in heavy industry. The upfront costs for hardware for the business are really just not that substantial when looking at the overall costs of everything else related to employing someone like me. And I'm certainly no one special for my company. Reply
krumme - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkWell that argument can be applied to all cost. From toilet paper to cpu.
But running a profitable business means you have to control cost all over.
The reason beeing that revenue is defined by marginal cost; the last product you sell the last toiletpaper you use so to speak. It does matter.
Having an agressive attitude to control cost all over your company can define a business. Think IKEA. Reply
thesavvymage - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkthe point he is making is that since it is relatively cheap compared to everything else they do, an extra 1% to their budget absolutely increases his productivity by more than 1%. This is harder to justify at say a small mom-and-pop store where they would be NO more productive at 3x the cost of an i3. Cost is relative. Reply
juhatus - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkAre all parts are soldered to motherboard using BGA? Maybe the difference between H- and M-series is sockets vs BGA? Reply
thesavvymage - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkthese are all mobile chips, theyre all soldered Reply
doug1970 - Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - linkI think your wrong about that comment. The company Sager that produces my laptop, is very upgradeable and they come standard with the 4700MQ, but for an additional $185 you can have it replaced at the vendor level, not manufacturer level, with a 4800MQ, for $385 you can have it replaced with a 4900MQ. And for like $800 you can even get the Xtreme part. So that means they have to be sockets. In fact if you clearly read this article it says at the begging that MQ Part are PGA(Socketed) and H parts 4950HQ and the like 4700HQ are BGA(Soldered on chips) So yes M series are socketed and H are BGA. Reply
doug1970 - Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - linkSorry I am stupid I didn't edit my own post, I spelled beginning really badly. Reply
gxtoast - Sunday, June 02, 2013 - linkJust noticed that none of the Haswell i7s support Intel EPT, which is required for nested virtualisation of 64-bit guests. Jarred, what are we to do? Reply
JesperL - Saturday, June 15, 2013 - linkAnyone care to venture a guess on which model will be in the Mac Minis? Reply
n13L5 - Wednesday, April 09, 2014 - linkSo, much later the reason for the i7-4702HQ comes into sharp focus:
The lesser Intel GPU making this a 37W part allowed Razer to install a quad core CPU paired with a GTX 870M GPU into their rather slim 2014 Blade 14.
Best not to waste 10W on Intel's Iris in cases like this. Reply

Rylands 3 Denton Town 1
BOSS Dave Parr was impressed with Rylands' response to going a man down in the first half as they beat Denton Town on Saturday at Gorsey lane.
James Sinker was dismissed before the break after Kris Bell and Lee Deakin had found the net, Liam Hayes wrapping up the points late on.
"I thought we were in complete control of the game without playing at our best until the sending off incident," said Parr.
"But the lads responded well and credit must go to everybody for the way we adapted to a different formation in the second half.
"The squad are playing with real belief and confidence at the moment and playing some really good football."
The Blues took the lead on 16 minutes when Bell latched on to a through ball to finish and almost doubled their lead when Deakin's header rattled a post moments later.
Deakin's mazy run saw him beat three defenders before being upended, only to pick himself up and rifle a free kick into the net to double Rylands' lead.
The visitors clawed one back before the break when Sinker brought down the Denton forward and was shown red, Andy Moor was unable to keep out the resulting spot kick.
Moor was largely untroubled after the interval, despite Denton's numerical advantage, while Hayes and James Daniels both went close at the other end.
Rylands were controlling possession, but it took until the 89th minute for Hayes to settle the game with a right-footed strike.
Rylands: Moor, J Sinker, Duffy, Prescott, R Sinker, Hayes, Lowe, Daniels, Smith (Brown), Bell (Rodgers), Deakin (Parr).
