An Israeli security guard shot a Palestinian man in the stomach during clashes on Saturday between settlers and Palestinians outside the West Bank village of Urif.
Najah a-Safadi, 22, was evacuated to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus in serious but stable condition.
IDF, Israel Police, and Border Police forces arrived on the scene to restore order. A Border Police officer was lightly injured by a stone thrown by Palestinians during the melee, Ynet News reported.
Palestinian sources claimed the Palestinians were extinguishing brushfires lit by Israelis from the neighboring settlement of Yitzhar when the security detail opened fire. Israel Radio reported that the security guard claims a-Safadi was armed with a knife and intended to attack an Israeli.
Last week, settlers from Yitzhar were filmed shooting at Palestinians after fighting broke out between the two parties. One Palestinian was hospitalized with a gunshot wound. The Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem published the footage on YouTube.

George Bronson was a guitar teacher in downtown Detroit, MI from the 1930s through 1950s. George ran the "Bronson Music & Sales Company" where he sold and distributed sheet music, amps and guitars. He specialized in steel guitars and many of the Bronsons are square neck guitars made by the National/Valco company. There was also a popular model electric lap steel that National/Valco made for Bronson, which was sold under the name "Bronson Singing Electric" (source: Walter Murray).

Money can be exchanged in most hotels (at a lower rate than the banks usually) or in most of the city's largest banks, custered around the Matuna or inside the walled city close to the Clock Tower.
In Calle del Badillo and Calle de las Carretas there are also a concentration of money exchange places, which give good rates.
It pays to research the exchange rate before visiting any of these places and if you are planning on changing a large sum (more than $1,000.00) you can often haggle on the rate.
See a quick guide to the rate today here.
Rip off merchants
Whatever you do avoid the shysters lingering on the edge of the walled city - the ones that will offer you a rate 200 pesos above the market rate and then leave you wondering how they short-changed you.
It's all in the fingers and the folding over of a few bills so they are counted twice. Either that or they will leave you with a handful of fake notes. Avoid them like the plague.
Urgent Wire Transfers
If you need to receive a transfer from abroad then supermarket chains Olimpica, Exito, Homecenter and SAO have branches of Acciones & Valores, the agent for Western Unionin Colombia that charge a percentage on money sent and / or received.
In terms of spending your holiday funds a 10% tip is normally included in the price of any bill in restaurants and bars but feel free to leave more as it is more likely to make it into the hands of the person serving you.
Haggling in the shops is expected and Colombians pride themselves on their negotiating skills. Over-charging gringos is a popular sport so be prepared to give as good as you get.
Giving Money
Throwing money to poor kids on the street isn't encouraged as it tends to fuel a drug habit. If your conscience is weighing you down it is better to buy them something to eat and drink than to give them money.
If you really want to help the lives of the Colombians then its probably better to tip heavily or contribute to one of the many Non-Government Organisations in Cartagena de Indias trying to make a lasting difference. Click here to see more about volunteering or charitable donations.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - A driver was hospitalized after a wrong-way crash on Interstate 10 early Saturday morning, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said 38-year-old Leslie Brenning of Jacksonville was going west in the eastbound inside lane of I-10 in Columbia County about 2 a.m.
The crash report says Talia Lampley of Tallahassee was eastbound on I-10 and the cars collided head-on.
Brenning was taken to UF Health in Gainesville in critical condition. Two passengers in Lampley's Chevrolet Impala were taken to UF Health Lake Shore with minor injuries. Neither Lampley nor a third passenger in the car were injured.
Troopers said Brenning's Honda Civic was reported to be traveling the wrong way on I-10 minutes prior to the crash. Troopers were trying to locate that vehicle before the crash happened.

How do I set device partnership for a mobile device (iPhone4) on Exchange 2007
11 Replies
Jun 6, 2011 at 12:44 UTC
As long as they have the proper permissions, when they attempt to sync it should create the partnership for that user. You can go into the Exchange management, under "Recipient Configuration">"Mailbox's", locate user, Right click user and choose "Manage mobile devices". In there you should see the devices listed for the user that have attempted to establish a sync.
You then have the option under "actions" to remove the partnership, or wipe the device.
Jun 6, 2011 at 12:50 UTC
I don't have the option when I right click on user name for 'Mange Mobile Device' It is ther for some users.
I just got handed the exchange as a part of job.
It says to create partnership from device w/ exchange.
How do I do that on Exchange 2007
Jun 6, 2011 at 12:53 UTC
Is the user able to sync his mobile device with his email? If so, then it's another issue.
Jun 6, 2011 at 10:48 UTC
On the Iphone, setup the email settings to sync with your exchange server. After successfuly syncing, the device parnership is automatically created.
Jun 7, 2011 at 10:02 UTC
Thanks Thomas,
The iphone keeps asking for password, the password is correct, as I can get on to 'owa'
on the exchange side, in the mailbox properties, the 'Exchange ActiveSync' is enabled but doesn't show up under mail box properties.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Jun 7, 2011 at 10:25 UTC
From the iphone, open the owa site in the browser and make sure you can actually log on using the credentials you're typing in.
The device partnership wont show up until a successful sync has occured and since it isn't taking yur password, that hasn't occured so is expected.
Jun 7, 2011 at 10:54 UTC
You say you can log onto the owa site w/ the password, are you keying in /owa with the server address? For us, that won't work, we key in the owa URL w/o https:// or /owa (e.g.: server.publicdomain.org)
And for the user name, the example usually is domain\username, we just put in the username.
This may not be the right advice for your problem, but it's allz I gots!
Jun 10, 2011 at 1:24 UTC
Thank you
It works now
Jun 10, 2011 at 1:25 UTC
Thanks u
Jun 10, 2011 at 2:20 UTC
Thank you
It works now
<drum roll, please>
And the fix was...?
Jun 10, 2011 at 2:30 UTC
Set it up as an IMAP on iphone.
The exchange setting on iphone never worked properly

Now that Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his perfectly pedicured toes are serving his 90-day jail sentence, he's being treated like any other inmate at the Clark County Detention Center. That includes no special TV privileges, meaning Mayweather won't get to watch his favorite enemy Manny Pacquiao's fight with Timothy Bradley this Saturday.
"I am not going to say that he absolutely won't be able to watch it because it's in the future," Bill Cassell, a spokesman for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, said, according to Game On!. "However, nothing special is being done to provide this television program or any other program in the jail. We don't plan on having pay-for-view in the jail. Now, if ESPN or some other channel runs a repeat, he may be able to view it then."
If Pacquiao bests the underdog Bradley, it still keeps alive whatever glimmering hope there is left for a megafight to take place between Mayweather and Pacquiao. Both say they would like to see each other in the ring, despite making almost every possible lame excuse to not go through with it.
But with Mayweather in jail for the next three months, at least he can't duck away from fighting Pacquiao like he usually does by scheduling a bout with, like, Antonio Margarito or anybody else not named Manny Pacquiao.

Should I Put a Local Address on My Resume?
by Rich Jones - Mar, 2014
I just had a conversation with someone around this very question. As a recruiter, I can tell you that we do look at where someone is located when reviewing his or her resume. Some of us will even screen you out if you're too far away and we don't offer relocation (I've done it). And it's that fear of being screened out that leads some folks to put the local address of a friend or family member. I completely get it. However, yo...
Your Interview Questions List: How to Use This Powerful Tool!
by Thea Kelley - Mar, 2014
If you're looking for a new job, one "must-have" tool is a long list of interview questions – and the right techniques for using that list to prepare. First, compile a really good list. Anticipate any likely questions that may be prompted by your resume, LinkedIn profile or other materials the interviewer may have seen. Expect to be asked why you left each job (especially any that were short-term), what you were doing...
Earning Your Marketing Stripes: It's All About Relationships
by Brian Muys - Mar, 2014
In too many organizations, marketing and public relations are often considered more tactical functions that simply support larger business initiatives. In some instances, higher-cost promotional channels can all too easily be relegated to a secondary, discretionary role, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. First, this means that any given marketing program, however ambitious, must be directly aligned with or...
The Yin and Yang of the Job Interview
by Thea Kelley - Mar, 2014
Interview authentically and strategically. These are the "yin and yang" of good interviewing. Actually, these aren't truly opposites. The real opposite of strategy is randomness, or carelessness, which sometimes comes wrapped in the flag of "just being real." Many job candidates fail to be strategic. They interview in an honest and straightforward way, but without really communicating a unique selling proposition. Th...
Work-Arounds for Impossible Interview Questions
by Thea Kelley - Mar, 2014
What do you do when you can't exactly answer the question that's been asked you in an interview? Sometimes you need to reframe the question, to look at it in a less obvious way. In other words, you come up with an effective work-around - like those clever ones that get you past various roadblocks in your day-to-day work! Let's say an interviewer asks you this: Tell me about a time when you had to work with someone...
Job Search: Make Professional Etiquette a Habit
by Kris Plantrich - Mar, 2014
I am finding often, and not just with recent graduates, that follow up, and phone and email etiquette is sorely lacking with many professionals today. It is a lack of professionalism and courtesy when communications such as following up, thanking others, and scheduling confirmations, cancellations or delays, are not kept a priority. With younger clients I try and remind them that it is good practice to get into the ha...
I'm introducing you, not endorsing you
by Stacey Lane - Mar, 2014
I blogged about awkward LinkedIn invitations and it was my most shared blog post ever. Wonder if it has anything to do with the Kelly Blazek fiasco that happened around that same time? You know, the Cincinnati-based, self-professed mentor who wrote a scathing response to a LinkedIn request. Epic fail in the career karma department for Kelly. Ouch. Seems like there are a lot of conversations happening around networking...
5 Must-Read Resume Writing Tips
by Patricia Erickson - Mar, 2014
Is the thought of writing a resume as pleasant as having your wisdom teeth surgically extracted? I ask because I was discussing resume writing tips with a client today and she was thrilled I was going to write it for her. As she put it, she was no longer actively involved in the "whole torturous process." I didn't realize the experience could be so terrible – but then I thought about doing my own taxes and realized what she...
Be Bold: How to Act Like You Have the Job to Land the Job
by Lisa Rangel - Mar, 2014
Being interview ready, means more than showing up with your resume materials in-hands. It's about showing the hiring manager how prepared you are for their role, and how easily you will be able to step into their open position. At the end of the day, the hiring manager wants to know how easy or difficult it will be to transition you onto their team. When you interview, you need to be bold and act like you have the job to l...
Baby Boomers' Retiring Effect on the US Economy
by Dr. Maynard Brusman - Mar, 2014
Succession planning is critical in preparing for the transition of Baby Boomers to retirement. Perhaps you've noticed the term 'brain drain' more and more in the popular media. This term is being used to describe the anticipated loss of skilled talent from our workforce as members of the baby boom generation begin to retire. The younger Gen X and Gen Y (New Millennials) are growing impatient to ascend to leadership respons...

HEATHENS boss Will Pottinger says his riders are well and truly up for the cup.
Pottinger leads his side into action for their next home meeting at Wolverhampton in Tuesday's deciding leg of their Knock-out Cup tie with Buxton.
The opening contest is in Derbyshire on Sunday (3pm) and the previous night they defend a 47-43 advantage in the return leg of the Staffordshire Cup against Stoke at Loomer Road.
It is a busy schedule which suits Pottinger and his riders after a frustrating spell of inactivity.
He said: "When we arrive at Wolverhampton next Tuesday it will be a month since our last home meeting against Stoke.
"So for us to have three meetings in four days is just what we need at the moment and I know all the boys are desperate to kick-start their season.
"Even Adam Roynon and Tom Perry, who ride in the Premier League, have seen meetings washed out so everyone wants to get things moving again.
"Over the last couple of years there has been quite a rivalry between Buxton and ourselves and I'm sure we'll be taking a good contingent there.
"It would be lovely to get past them but we need to keep things close on Sunday before bringing them back to Monmore on Tuesday for the return.
"We want to be as competitive as possible in every competition and we just want to get some momentum going now."
Meanwhile, Heathens coach Jan O Pedersen is backing Ashley Morris to hit top form with a good run of meetings.
Tom Perry's second place in last week's British Under-21 Final was no surprise after his fine start to the campaign but Morris, who doesn't have the benefit of regular Premier League action, hasn't realised his potential yet.
Pedersen said: "Tom has done great but we need to get Ash going now and I'm sure it will come for him, it's only a matter of time.
"We're suggesting one or two things to him and he is taking it on board. There are certain things he can do to improve his performances. He's a good lad from that point of view and does listen.
"Tom has changed his technique at the start and it's paying dividends for him, he is a much better rider than last season and it's good to see.
"Ash has what it takes to be a good rider and we will continue to push him and work with him to make it happen.
"We just need to get some meetings under our belt and I'm looking forward to working with the rest of the boys when we get back together this weekend."

St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne warns residents about a new scam that was previously reported - but deserves an update.
According to reports from the S.O., a Destrehan man received a letter in the mail stating that he was a winner in the e-Casino Gaming Sweepstakes Lottery.
The man, who was not identified, was told that he was one of only six winners to share $408,000 with his portion being $68,000.
Enclosed with the letter was a check for $2,950. The man was directed to deposit the check into his bank account and then wait 24 to 48 hours for the it to clear. He was also instructed to contact a claims agent at a European phone number.
Suspicious of a scam, the man contacted the credit union on which the check was drafted. Officials there confirmed his suspicions - the lottery win was the bait in a scam, and the Destrehan resident was not the only intended victim.
At least two parish residents have been victimized by this scam, says the sheriff.
In one of the cases the victim was advised to cash the check and then send in a commisssion or a fee that was about half the amount of the check.
In cases like this, upon recipt of the victims money order, the scammer quickly cashes it and absconds with the victims money.
Then the victim is informed by his local bank that the original check deposited by the victim is fake. If it sounds too good to be true it most likely is, continued the sheriff.
He urges all citizens to tread suspicious mail carefully. If something seems funny, call and inquire before signing anything or giving out sensitive information.

There is criticism instantaneously that the party picked up wrong candidates. Though Suresh Reddy is from Telangana, he was never active in the Telangana movement. Congress MPs of Telangana who fiercely fought on the issue were disappointed at the selection of Suresh Reddy who is also known as a very soft person. On the other hand, Gade Venkata Reddy is a strong opponent of state bifurcation. He has been very vocal in expressing his views. Even opposition parties are criticizing the ruling party that the very selection of its representatives gave clear evidence about it is insincerity.
Congress party has instructed the two representatives to reflect the ground level people's views at the meeting. This would also mean that the two would give divergent views on the creation of the Telangana state.

Bike Across America 2007
A Journey of 4,628 miles from San Francisco, CA to Boston, MA
de Mike Noonan
Acerca del libro
It may not be common knowledge, but it is possible to ride a bicycle 4,628 miles from San Francisco to Boston carrying absolutely no camping gear, stay every night in a motel or occasional bed and breakfast inn, and never once sleep on a park bench or in the homes of kind strangers who take you in. For fifty-four days from June 1, 2007 to July 24, 2007, that is what I did.

Carnival Destiny for Kids
Why Choose Carnival Destiny?
- Editor's Note: In one of the most dramatic refurbishments in contemporary cruising, Carnival Destiny underwent a $155 million transformation culminating with a name change. After its release from a jaw-dropping 49-day dry-dock (from February to April 2013), Destiny became Carnival Sunshine.
Carnival Destiny for Families
Carnival's Fun Ships are made for families, with activities that encompass all age groups. There are games and contests for everyone to enjoy together, and there is Camp Carnival, with separate programs for kids, 'tweens and teens. The short weekend cruises attract many families; the midweek cruises less so.
The Camp Carnival facilities for children ages 2 to 11 is on Deck 11. Programs are offered free of charge from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. The multiple-room facility has arts and crafts, computer stations, walls with several monitors for movies and cartoons, a separate section for toddlers and babies, and well-trained staff supervising the children. A highlight is Camp Carnival's dining option, which allows kids to dine with other members of their playgroup.
One area where Carnival is rather unique among family-oriented cruise lines is that it accepts toddlers as young as age 2 into the program -- even if they aren't toilet trained (and staffers will change diapers). Carnival also offers babysitting at an additional charge (plan to pay about $6 per hour). At certain times, babies ages 6 months to 2 years can spend time in Camp Carnival, either with their parents (for free) or on their own (for a fee). However, toddlers and babies that aren't toilet trained are not allowed in any pools onboard, not even the children's pool, and kids must be at least 48 inches to ride the waterslide -- leaving some disappointed five- and six-year-olds on the sidelines.
Circle C is geared toward 'tweens (ages 12 - 14) and this group has its own hangout on Deck 11 with computer terminals and board games. Free activities run from 9 a.m. to about 1 a.m., including scavenger hunts, dance parties, karaoke and mini-golf.
Teens ages 15 - 17 gather in Club O2 next door. The space is similar with computer stations, flat-screen TV's and a mocktail bar. Activities also run from morning until after midnight with photo hunts, T-shirt decorating, ice cream and make-your-own-pizza parties, and sports games. Teens also can opt to attend a supervised, teen-only tour in port.

I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
- John Constable (1776 - 1837)
Much in life is a matter of perspective, not just beauty. Two people can look at the same set of facts and reach different conclusions simply because they have different perspectives. Stephen Covey described this phenomenon as:
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are – or, as we are conditioned to see it. . . [C]learheaded people see things differently, each looking through the unique lens of experience.
Sometimes it helps to bring a different perspective to something in order to understand it better and to benefit from the mistakes of those who don't. In Moneyball, Michael Lewis wrote about a different perspective that has been brought to baseball. Lewis said that he began his writing with a simple observation: "Some baseball executives seemed to be much better than others at getting wins out of dollars." When he finished the book (one about baseball and business that I highly recommend), he had captured how the Oakland A's in a manner more akin to exploiting inefficiencies in financial markets had set about looking for inefficiencies in baseball and, by using a form of systematic scientific investigation to separate data from perception that was based on long-held individual images and beliefs, developed both a different way to value baseball talent and different metrics or key performance indicators for baseball. These new metrics took advantage of what behavioral finance scholars have noted in the cognitive psychology part of their discipline – people make errors in the way they think and make decisions. The A's found that, just like financial investors, baseball talent investors generalized wildly from their own experience playing the game, were overly influenced by the most recent performance by a player, and were biased toward what they'd seen (or thought they'd seen) with their own eyes.
Recently (Metrics! We Don't Need No Stickin' Metrics and Metrics! We Don't Need No Stickin' Metrics (Part II)) having bombarded the readers of this blog with a series of financial metrics for the business of practicing law, which I readily admit can be a powerful and sure-fire cure for insomnia, I thought it might be helpful to look at these legal industry metrics from a different perspective. This different perspective is not one based on academic research or study – it's just one based on an analogy that hopefully will make the metrics and their importance simpler to understand.
Think of the business of practicing law as being the game of football – LawBall, if you will. Like football, LawBall is competitive. And, like football, there is a final result – in LawBall, it's profit per partner (the functional equivalent to return on equity or ROE). Just as a football team's strategy must be in sync with its assets (its players) and what it does best in order to be successful – for example, be a running or a passing team on offense of play a 3-4 or a 4-3 on defense – LawBall requires that, in order for a "team" (or law firm) be able to achieve its best final result, its assets (lawyers) and what it knows and what it does must be configured in support of its strategy. Finally, as football has 3 major team components that must be managed and executed well in order to win – offense, defense, and special teams – so does LawBall. LawBall's 3 major components are asset turnover (think offense), profit margin (think defense), and financial leverage (think special teams).
When one looks at what it expects from a football team's offense, it expects it to score as many points as possible (think the 2006 San Diego Chargers or the Indianapolis Colts almost any year with Peyton Manning). With a law firm, the expectations should be the same – the highest asset turnover (revenues per lawyer) possible. When one looks at what it expects from a football team's defense, it expects it to hold the opponent to a few points as possible, thus preserving as many of the points its offense scored and creating as big a margin of victory as possible. Law firms should expect the same from its "defense" – profit margin – the firm should seek to keep its costs per lawyer as low as possible, thus creating the highest profit margin possible. Most times in football, when your offense and defense combined are better than the competition, you should win; and, if the teams are relatively equal in those 2 areas, special teams can make the difference (think the New England Patriots when they had kicker Adam Vinatieri). The same holds true with LawBall – remember, profit margin x asset turnover = return on assets (or ROA), and ROA is a good measure of the efficiency with which a business allocates its resources – but if the competition in LawBall as measured by ROA is tight, financial leverage can be the winning difference for ROE (ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage).
Let's take another look at what happened with Firm B by comparison to Firm A in the prior postings through the eyes of LawBall. First, Firm A's 2005 offense (asset turnover of $790,698) was much more explosive than Firm B's ($518,116 asset turnover), despite the fact that the 9-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of Firm B's revenues was greater than Firm A's (10.65% to 9.18%). Over that same 9-year period, Firm B's number of lawyers grew at nearly twice the rate of Firm A's number of lawyers, resulting in Firm A's asset turnover growing at a 9-year CAGR of 6.16% to Firm B's 5.12%. The effect of Firm B's lawyer growth was like the effect of a high number of quarterback sacks or run attempts for losses on gross offensive yardage (revenues) – the negative plays result in a lower net offensive yardage output. At the same time that Firm B's offense was sputtering compared to Firm A's, Firm B's defense also was falling apart – it let much more of its net offensive output (asset turnover) be dissipated than that of Firm A's: Firm B's 2005 profit margin had plunged to 34.84% from its 1996 level of 46.26%, while Firm A's 47.84% profit margin for 2005 was slightly above its 47.10% level for 1996. The combined effect of Firm A's offensive and defensive dominance was a 2005 ROA (profit per lawyer) of $378,295 compared with Firm B's 2005 ROA of $180,507. Firm A's 9-year ROA CAGR was 6.34%; Firm B's was 1.86%. Another way this offensive and defensive domination by Firm A is captured is to look at the asset turnover growth rate vs the growth rate of costs per lawyer (a major element of the "points given up" by the defense): Firm A's 9-year CAGR for its asset turnover was 6.16%, while its cost per lawyer CAGR was 5.99%; Firm B, on the other hand, had a 9-year asset turnover CAGR of 5.12%, while its costs per lawyer CAGR was 7.40%. From 1996 to 2005, Firm B's defense was giving up points at a faster rate than its offense was scoring. A small bit of solace can be found for Firm B though – its special team play (financial leverage) improved from 1996 to 2005 to the point that the relative margin of its ROE defeat (Firm A's ROE was 2.0192 times greater than Firm B's) was slightly less than the relative margin of its ROA defeat (2.0957).
In LawBall, Firm A clearly outplayed Firm B. Why? Firm B's performance probably was the result of a combination of actions and non-actions by it. First, regardless of the type of "defense" Firm B played – the 3-4 or the 4-3 – it did a poor job of tackling its costs per lawyer. Second, despite the rate at which it gained gross yardage (its 10.65% CAGR for gross revenues) on offense, it had too many "bad plays," including growing the number of its lawyers too fast, resulting in a net yardage (asset turnover) growth rate below that of Firm A. Firm B's game plan – its strategy – likely wasn't in sync with its assets (players/lawyers) and didn't mesh with what those players did best. Best guess: the field of play for Firm B changed over the years, as the rate of specialization accelerated causing Firm B's business to move from one that required a lot of complex problem solving to one that was more standardized or more "fungible." Instead of changing its pricing strategy to one that was more appropriate for its new fungible business base, it likely tried to move its rates up to the highest level it could, as if it still were doing complex problem solving, costing it business. And, It probably kept the same mix of assets (type of players) that it had when it was doing a greater volume of complex problem solving. Just like in football – in LawBall, a bad strategy and poor execution leads to poor performance relative to the competition.

Game Specific InformationEdit
Castlevania: Dawn of SorrowEdit
The Dead Crusader returns in Dawn of Sorrow as a zombie crusader instead of a Skeleton. He wields a sword, heavy armor and a massive shield that blocks ALL attacks and will not flinch unless he stops blocking. The only way to kill him is to hit from very far away where he "can't see it coming" or wait until he lift his sword to strike. Using the Nunchakus and Valmanway is really handy against this undead knight, since he can't block the attack. Absorbing the Dead Crusader's soul allows Soma to reduce damage from all attacks. It has 2 bonus feature-
1) Normally if an enemy damage is defended to less than 1, Soma still takes 1 damage. Equipping Dead Crusader nulls that rule and Soma takes 0 Damage and will not flinch. (Though he will still bleed) This comes in handy when plowing though weak enemies in the castle.
2) Status changing attacks such as Stoning from the Medusa Heads and poisoning from the Ghouls are nulled if the damage taken is less than 1. (No damage means no status change) However if damage is more than 1, status change will occur. To avoid this, it is advisable to level up Soma or improve his Constitution.

Although Denise Richards, 37, and Charlie Sheen, 42, are involved in a messy public custody battle, they're trying to make sure their 2 daughters, Sam, 4, and Lola, 3, stay as unaffected as possible. Denise recently revealed that they've placed their girls in therapy to help prevent any permanent damage from the divorce,
"My kids are in therapy. It's very sad that they need to be there, but they do for now. On the other hand, it's good they have an outlet to deal with their feelings and someone who is just their advocate."
Denise hopes her candid admission will help break the stigma against therapy and encourage other parents to reach out for help if needed,
"If I can help anyone feel better about their kids being in therapy — then something else good has come of this, too."

Well, today Dan finally went fishing - and I even have pictures as proof. In fact, he walked down to the Buffalo River right after dinner to try a little more fishing. This picture was taken on a little back road that we drove today - one of many. While he did not catch anything on this little trip at least he FINALLY went fishing!!! He was somewhat excited to be able to go out in the middle of nowhere and try his hand at catching trout - he'll catch some - it's just a matter of time.
Tomorrow we are going to do the south loop in Yellowstone - it is more of the geysers and hot springs - I don't know how much, if any, wild life we will see, but I will have my trusty camera ready. I look forward to taking some pictures of the hot springs - some of the colors in them are breathtaking. We will take the pups with us again - so if it's a long day we won't have to worry any.
This afternoon I bought tickets for a musical that is being presented by a theater group in West Yellowstone. We are going to go next Wednesday (the 22nd) at 6:00 pm. It should be fun - I let Dan decide what he wanted to see - they are presenting three different shows - Footloose; The Secret Garden; and Guys and Dolls - Dan chose Guys and Dolls. I hope he enjoys it and maybe we'll go see at least one other one (Footloose). I'll let you know how next Wednesday goes first.
Thursday I will do laundry and Friday we are planning on doing a loop into Montana. It's a scenic drive and I always look forward to seeing beautiful country.
Today has been very windy - gusts up to 35 mph. I will be glad to see it settle down - the weather forecast is for it to be windy like this until 9pm so I still have about an hour and a half. I really don't like the wind like that - it sorta rocks the trailer, but I know that it's fine. We keep a listen on the weather radio and there isn't any bad weather - just the wind.
Oh- one of the things that I did today was upload the pictures of Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon. I didn't take many of the Grand Canyon for some reason, but anyway I'll put the links in. (At least I'm going to try and put in two links - I've never tried this before, so I don't know if it will work - let me know if it doesn't).
If you would like to see the pictures of Bryce Canyon click on this link.
If you would like to see the pictures of the Grand Canyon click on this link.
Let me know if these work - and for my girls - I'll email you the pictures of my "new" hair - don't want to bore everyone with them.
I'll sign off for tonight- BTW, the only tv show that I really miss is The Bachlorette and I watch it the day after it shows on network TV on the Internet - I am making a prediction now, in case any of you out there watch it too. I think she will pick - ED and REID and sent Tipton home tonight. We'll see how I do. (it was interesting to see that she did NOT use the Fantasy Suite with any of the guys except ED and supposedly just talked with him - a girl with a little morals maybe???) Anyway, after tomorrow, when I can watch the show, I will make a prediction on who she chooses. Later!

Barwell 0, Halesowen 1
HALESOWEN claimed their first win of the new season in Leicestershire, as a Iyseden Christie tap-in was enough to take three points back home to the Black Country, writes Reece Charlton.
John Hill opted to leave Ben Haseley out of the starting 11 for the first time since his return from injury, as the striker hasn't scored for the Yeltz this season, and Robert Thompson-Brown was brought into the side.
Neil Mackenzie, Tom Tonks and Joel Kettle all started for the first time this season, as they took Aaron Forde's, Elliott Turner's and Asa Charlton's place in the side.
Halesowen had the first chance at goal 12 minutes in, as Tom Tonks whipped a cross into the box, and Iyseden Christie was quickest to react, as he jumped above the defender and nodded the ball in the right direction, but the ball just flew wide of the left hand post.
Tonks had a chance later on as well, as he ran onto Neil Mackenzie's pass and smashed the ball towards goal, but goalkeeper Liam Castle produced a fantastic save to deny him his first goal at this level.
Barwell only really had one good chance in the first half, as Danny Haynes kicked the ball across the box to Luke Barlone, who could only volley the ball past the right hand post, and should have done better with the time and space he was given by The Yeltz defence.
But it was Halesowen who would break the deadlock, as Thompson-Brown used his pace to burst down the right wing and he then played a low cross past the sliding defenders and to Christie, who comfortably tapped the ball into the net on 59 minutes.
Barwell fought back later on, as a scramble in the Yeltz penalty area, resulted with the ball ricocheting off the ball twice in quick succession, and Barlone had another chance to shoot late on but he could only scuff the ball wide.
The Yeltz were greeted with cheers and celebration at the final whistle, as their first win of the season pushes them up to eighth, and their unbeaten run continues into the season.
Halesowen: Sargeant, Green, Kettle, Mackenzie (Forde) Hull, Tilt, Bragoli (Griffiths) Tonks, Christie, Thompson-Brown (Haseley),Till.

Investing Wisely -- Update with Recommendations and Personalized Follow-Up
Update & Recommendations:
I'm posting this the same message in this Blog, SafeHaven.com and on the initial page of StockCharts - Public List today - Saturday. You needn't read on because all it says is - I TOLD YOU SO! A Bit Rude but TRUE and ACCURATE.
I came out of retirement and immediately called the 2007 Bear Market on the Button. I called the bottom in February 2009. I called the April 2010 downturn and even published my recommended securities. I made a mistake in November 2011 - all is well now. I have repeatedly talked about a similarity of this market to the 2007 Bear Market in SafeHaven.com in every posting. I have accurately forecasted every single turn in this marketplace since early this year, and well before that time frame. I have produced warnings and alerts on an almost daily basis in SeekingAlpha.com and StockCharts.com. I have published 55 articles and 30+ Instablogs with many alerts and clear warnings. (for weeks I published specific and detailed advice on each of the component companies / stocks of the Dow 30 Industrials - re-read those publications in SeekingAlpha.com / Instablog -- they too are deadly accurate) I have frequently told you about the negatives of owning mutual funds and dealing with stockbrokers. I have bashed Washington, Wall Street and the media without giving these bastards one inch of grace. I have repeatedly offered free help, but made clear that I have professional asset-management services - for sale.
Nearly four years ago I started posting and sharing my word / analytics with the world. Today's I receive hundreds of hits (page reviews of this - my personal / private blog from over 48 foreign country investors. I also have met and exceeded my professional service's goals with both Clients and Prospective Clients. I am grateful and will continue to try to help those who graciously request help / direction / advice and perhaps just some TLC, (tender loving care).
I am not sure where I am going to take this marvelous experience in the coming years, but I do know that I will continue to slow down the free advice, I am currently giving to people who I do not have on-going correspondence with - via Email.
So, where is the marketplace going from here? I would be foolish to offer further alerts, warnings or forecasts in this market environment. There definitely will be more "DOWN" but it will also be "CHOPPY" and very difficult to interpret.
My next recommendations will be Bullish, but few of you folks will understand WHY and likely will not ASK?
You might like to check in with my personal & private blog, but for this weekend it is the same as the above.
For personal answers to your questions and thoughts and perhaps more specific details, please contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks again for your interest in my work,
Smile, have Fun - "Investing Wisely",

Los Angeles, CA, US
This second year project was guided by Mario Cipresso in the Spring of 2008.
The design problem was situated within Los Angeles' downtown urban fabric off 3rd street and Main. The objective of my design was to maintain light and air access to the surrounding buildings while controlling light to the sensitive film library spaces.
The resulting skin system that wraps the building is punctuated by reading rooms on the west face. To the north, the administrative tower and main theatre create the distinctive facade on 3rd street.

Reference: LUPRON DEPOT-PED [package insert].
Talk to your child's doctor about your child's medical history and all other medicines that your child takes.
Convulsions have been observed in patients taking leuprolide acetate, including patients who have a
history of seizures, epilepsy, or brain disorders (related to blood vessels, nerves, or tumors), and in
patients who are taking medications that have been associated with convulsions. Convulsions have also
been reported in patients without any of these conditions.
During the first weeks of treatment, signs of puberty, such as vaginal bleeding, may occur. This is a
common initial effect of the drug. Notify your child's doctor if signs/symptoms of puberty continue
beyond the second month of treatment.
After the injection, some pain and irritation is expected; however, if more severe symptoms occur or if
any new, unusual, or worsened symptoms develop, contact your child's doctor.
Your child's initial response to LUPRON DEPOT-PED should be monitored, as well as their continued
response during treatment, as clinically needed.
It is important that you keep your child's doctor appointments and follow the prescribed injection

for 3-month administration are prescribed for the treatment of children with central precocious puberty (CPP).
Doctors may diagnose children with CPP when signs of sexual maturity begin to
develop in girls under the age of 8 or boys under the age of 9. Your doctor should
perform tests to rule out possible causes of early puberty that would require different treatment
(e.g., tumors).

New Chinese infant formula regulations
Media release
1 May 2014 2014
New Chinese infant formula regulations
Most of New Zealand's infant formula production has been approved for export to China under new regulations that come into force today.
The Infant Nutrition Council (INC) Chief Executive Jan Carey said the manufacturers and brands already registered account for approximately 90% of all New Zealand infant formula exports by volume.
"Today's announcement confirms that New Zealand manufacturers are able to meet the high test set by the Chinese Government. While some New Zealand producers have yet to be registered, we are confident all manufacturers will meet the new standards in due course."
Ms Carey said while the overall volume of infant formula exports is unlikely to change, there are likely to be fewer brands sold.
"The Chinese have made it clear they want to reduce the number of brands being offered to consumers and the move to tighten regulations was expected."
Ms Carey said that it is likely to have an impact on companies or 'brand owners' selling formula produced on their behalf.
"In short, the regulations require those selling infant formula to have close links to the manufacturer and in the long run, our industry will benefit from the increased confidence of Chinese consumers.
"While today's news is positive for manufacturers, for brand owners without a close relationship with the manufacturer the bar is going to be set high, and some will struggle to meet the new rules," Ms Carey said.
The links to the publicly available registers for infant formula manufacturers and general dairy manufacturers that can produce for export to China from today are listed on the website of the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) here:

Vermont State Colleges
VSC Green Revolving Loan Fund
The Vermont State College system is composed of five unique public colleges overseen by a publicly appointed Board of Trustees. The campuses and academic centers of Castleton, Lyndon State, Johnson State, Vermont Technical College and the Community College of Vermont are located throughout Vermont. In April 2012, the VSC Board of Trustees, in conjunction with a revised cash management policy, authorized the creation of the VSC Green Revolving Loan Fund. The fund will be used to support energy efficiency and energy saving initiatives proposed by the colleges. The colleges will pay back the principal and interest, and loans will have a maximum duration of five years. Care for the natural environment and working landscape are part of the Vermont brand. So is frugality. By creating investment capacity that is focused on reduction of energy costs, the VSC have reaffirmed their commitment to environmental sustainability, containing the long term costs of college, and continuing to provide an affordable, high quality education to students.

An international network and research project on poverty, environment and forest resources
The Poverty Environment Network (PEN) was launched in September 2004 by the Center of International Forestry Research (CIFOR). The core of PEN is the tropics-wide collection of uniform socio-economic and environmental data at household and village levels by about 30 PEN partners (mainly PhD students), generating a global database with some 5-6 000 households and 200-250 villages from more than 20 countries. The data collection, which will continue until 2008, includes a careful recording of all forest and environmental uses, and all income data are collected through four quarterly surveys to shorten recall periods and increase accuracy.
We know that forests and other natural resources are crucial to the livelihoods of millions of poor people worldwide. But just how important are forests for poverty alleviation? Can they help lift people out of poverty, or are they mainly useful as gap-fillers and safety nets preventing extreme hardship? How do forest different management regimes and policies affect the benefits to the poor?
Answers to such questions are essential to design effective policies and projects to alleviate poverty, and thereby contribute to meeting the Millennium Development Goal of 50 % poverty reduction by 2015. Yet we have surprisingly little systematic knowledge to answer them adequately. PEN aims to fill the gap in knowledge through the systematic collection of uniform socio-economic data in a variety of tropical ecosystems. PEN research will serve as the basis for the first global comparative and quantitative analysis of the role of tropical forests in poverty alleviation.
The data will be collected by PhD students and other researchers joining PEN. Each PEN partner will, in addition to working on their own specific research questions and methodologies, contribute case-specific data to a common data bank. PEN assist with proposal development and grant applications and provide inputs and general guidance to the research, organize and support joint workshops, assist and advise on data analysis, facilitate exchange of information and experience among participants, pay an honorarium for the collection of PEN-relevant data, and facilitate the dissemination of research results.
The PEN format represents a new and innovative way of doing research, involving a large number of partners to collect global data using comparable definitions, questionnaires and methods. PEN will also help in strengthening research capacity in developing countries. PEN would like to get in touch with PhD students and young researchers that plan to do fieldwork on forest-poverty issues (see section on 'Research team').
PEN is a six year project (2004-2010). It is coordinated by CIFOR, but is working closely with resource persons in a number of universities and research institutes on all continents, reflecting CIFOR's "center without walls" policy. A major grant from DFID (UK) will support the post-data collection phase (2007-2010) of data analysis, synthesis and dissemination of results. Several PEN partners have received fieldwork support from the International Foundation of Science (IFS).

Braintree Town dropped back out of the Skrill Premier play-off places as JJ O'Donnell's last-gasp strike robbed them of a point at Gateshead.
Despite all the games they have had to play recently and the long distance they had had to travel to the north east, it was the Iron who were on top for most of the game.
They made two changes from the side that beat Nuneaton, with the injured Ryan Peters replaced in the back line by Alan Massey, who had recovered from a foot injury, and Dan Sparkes rested as Josh Laurent came back into the starting line-up.
The team lined up in the 4-5-1 formation that had worked well at Welling last week and it worked well again as Dan Holman, Sean Marks and James Mulley all went close to putting Braintree ahead, with a couple of shots blocked on the line.
However, their failure to convert chances into goals came back to haunt them in the game's final minute as O'Donnell pounced to score a winning goal that sent Gateshead up to third in the table and dropped Braintree down to eighth.
Iron manager Alan Devonshire said: "The performance was absolutely excellent and our boys showed just how good a side that we are.
"We totally controlled the game, but they had the bit of luck that you sometimes need to win games.
"We just have to regroup, dust ourselves down and go again with another long trip on Tuesday."
That next trip will see Devonshire's troops head to Southport as they continue their task of travelling more than 1,400 miles to three games in six days.

"He had a complicated life, and after his death it remained fairly complicated," describes publisher and gallerist Andrew Roth, of organizing the first solo exhibition—"Movie List," opens Nov. 11—of unseen work by the late Dash Snow since 2006. Thirty book maquettes will be on display at his gallery, each assembled and collated by Snow.
Putting the show together was an emotional process and began when Neville Wakefield and Dan Colen, friends of Snow, invited Roth to discuss the printed matter in the estate and find appropriate ways to make it known. "It became very clear from the beginning that this was very central part of his work—core," he says.
Preparing for the show, the collaborators rediscovered an unrealized book project, a stack of golden paper, pages ablaze with trashy, filthy, funny covers of '80s and '90s pornography VHS sleeves. "It runs the gambit of slasher to Nazi porn to super-wacky transvestite stuff to gross S&M. It's quite a cross section of the underbelly," says Roth. Snow collected the tapes from an LA VHS store, and many of the tapes were already in a bootleg format, with photocopies for covers.
The result of Roth's efforts is a six-pound block of a book, made of stiff board pages with brilliant golden ink surrounding each VHS cover—homage and facsimile to Snow's original maquette. "At the beginning of making the book, we kept referring back to Dash, saying things like 'Dash would like that,' or, 'He would have done it like this.' Then at a certain point we had to let this thing become what it wanted to be."

The singer's rep explains Rihanna was advised by her doctor not to travel as she was still recovering from bronchitis and she felt sorry for that.
Rihanna's representative has shot down Donald Trump's scathing comments over the star's failure to play at his fundraiser gig, insisting she was ordered by doctors not to travel. The "Umbrella" hitmaker was due to perform at Trump's show in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday, February 19, but she pulled out due to sickness.
Trump was infuriated when Rihanna went on to sing at the NBA All-Star basketball game in Los Angeles the following day, February 20. The entrepreneur fumed, "I thought that (canceling) was insulting to everyone. But for Rihanna to go to the (NBA) All-Star game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect."
Now the singer's rep has spoken out to clarify why she wasn't able to attend Trump's bash, telling Access Hollywood, "Rihanna was recovering (from) bronchitis and her doctor advised her not to get on a plane as she would risk losing her voice and damaging her vocal chords. She feels terrible she couldn't attend but was so grateful Jennifer Hudson graciously stepped in."
Rihanna scrapped another fundraising gig earlier this month ahead of her Grammys performance as she battled illness.
