Freemen Trounce Oak Hills, Fall to Rebels
Providence men's basketball beat Oak Hills by 48 then come 4 short of Rebels
The Freemen basketball squad started their weekend off with a bang Friday night as they trounced a visiting Oak Hills squad 70-22. Providence then faced a strong Red River squad Saturday afternoon, and, despite holding a late one-point lead, the Freemen were unable to steal their first win of the season away from the Rebels as Red River took the game 60-56.
"(Freemen coach) Juan (Larios) decided to switch up the starting line-up to give different guys a chance for more playing time," senior Cam Friesen commented after Friday night's game. "It was really nice to see some of the young guys getting big minutes and doing a great job leading our team to a 48-point victory."
The Freemen anticipated that Friday night's match-up against Oak Hills would serve more as a warm-up for their Saturday match-up against Red River than anything else. Knowing such, coach Larios decided to change around his line-up and gave extra minutes to his bench players as a reward for their reliability throughout the season. The bench responded well, as did any starters called upon, and despite a sportsmanlike effort from the visiting Oak Hills squad, the Freemen cruised to an easy 70-22 victory.
The game also presented a highlight reel rebound alley-oop layup from Friesen as he charged the net from the wing, grabbed the rebound and put it away in one motion, all while fighting through heavy traffic in the paint. Freshman Chris Funk also earned a double-double in the game, scoring 20 and grabbing 10 boards.
The Freemen then entered Saturday's match-up hoping that they would finally be able to take a game away from the visiting Red River squad. However, the squad faced a key injury early on in the game, as starting point guard Jesse Funk took an elbow to the nose and had to sit out the rest of the half. Nonetheless, the two squads continued to battle it out on the court, but it was the Rebels who were able to enter the break with a 30-24 lead.
With memories of the massive Lady Freemen comeback still in fan's minds, the packed building had high hopes of another set of late-game heroics from the home side. The two sides continued their tight play throughout the third quarter to stay tight, and Friesen made a late layup to bring the Freemen within 4 points at the quarter's end. The fourth quarter then presented even more fast-paced action, as the intensity on the court picked up, and both sides battled for control. The Freemen then finally surpassed the Rebels with less than two minutes remaining off a jumper from senior Jon Patterson. But, with only a minute remaining on the clock, the Freemen took an offensive charge, a flagrant foul, a turnover, and missed two free throws. Those mishaps gave point guard Josh Stolar (17 pts) and his Rebels squad just enough space to regain the lead and take the game 60-56.
"Our team was extremely determined to beat Red River," Friesen (7 pts, 11 rbds) commented. "We had a certain confidence to our pregame talk and felt like we were going to beat them. We stayed within 10 points for the entire game, and eventually jumped out on them, but a few small defensive lapses and unfavorable calls in the last minute led us to the loss."
"But we still have a couple more chances at them, and I know I speak for the entire team when I say that we are looking forward to those games."
Notes: Sophomore post Joel Coursey picked up a double-double in Saturday's loss with 18 points and 10 rebounds…the Freemen play again this weekend when they travel to Minnesota to play North Central University and the Faith Eagles.

4050 meters (13,287 feet)
The candidate site is referred to as "13 North" (13N) on the northern shield, approximately 150 meters below the summit. It is adjacent to the Submillimeter Array (SMA) extension area. 13N is a high elevation site. It is a developed site with several observatories, so much of the infrastructure required for a new observatory already exists. Only a short piece of road would have to be constructed to the 13N site.
View of the summit of Mauna Kea from the northeast, showing the many observatories already at the site. The proposed site N13 is the rugged plain visible just over the top of the twin Keck telescopes at middle right. The conical peak in the background is a dormant volcano, Hualalai. Note the haze and clouds that cover the lowlands. The summit of Mauna kea is usually above the wearther that affects the island's lowlands. Image from the Univ. Hawaii, Inst. for Astronomy.

The conditions are usually dominated by a stable north-easterly flow, but the site does experience severe weather and precipitation, in particular in the winter.
Since Mauna Kea is an established observatory site, data like those gathered during a testing run at a remote site are measured on a daily basis. Current conditions and forecasts of fog/precipitation, per cent cloud cover, summit temperature (high and low), precipitable water (in millimeters), seeing (in arc-seconds), and winds (miles per hour) are available at:

Lessons can be painful, but also noteworthy — which is exactly what the Paradise High varsity girls basketball team dealt with against Enterprise Wednesday night in the opening round of the 24th Red Bluff Holiday Classic.
The Bobcats' first test of the year against the defending Northern Section CIF Division III champs didn't go well, as the Hornet four-headed attack comprised of Kamira Sanders, Janae Gray, Rachel Martin and Jordan Kimbrough dominated both ends of the floor, en route to a 48-34 win over Paradise in the rematch of last year's NSCIF championship.
Paradise coach Elwood Hansen said Enterprise (4-0) is almost an exact replica of the team that torched the Bobcats (5-3) by 26 last spring at Chico State's Acker Gym.
"They capitalize on turnovers and play pretty tough defense," Hansen said. "If you make mistakes they're going to capitalize on them."
Paradise made a number of mistakes on defense and offense in the first half, leading to a 27-5 deficit through the first 16 minutes. The Bobcats also had 12 turnovers at halftime.
Hansen noted that the game still should have been much closer, as the Bobcats missed several open looks and were 3 for 10 from the free-throw line.
"I thought at the end of the half we should be within 10 points," he said. "That's how many points we left. Mary (Hansen) missed a lay-up right out of the shoots, Bailey (Bengson) was 0 for 8 from the free-throw line, we missed four or five (shots) right in the paint."
Senior guard Cassidy Burnett, the Bobcats' leading scorer, who came in ranked seventh in the section averaging 16.0 points per game, had zero at the break. Mary Hansen, Burnett's backcourt mate and fellow three-year starter, didn't score a field goal and made several turnovers trying to break the Hornets' 1x2x1x1 zone press.
Paradise's lone basket in the first half came from a short baseline jumper from junior Bailey Bengson, while the team's two sophomores, Emilee Heinke and Mariah Mundt struggled to find their rhythm on both ends of the floor.
"My younger kids struggled, they hadn't seen anything like this," Hansen said. "Mary didn't have the best night either (with) quite a few turnovers and pressure up on top. We just seemed to be playing almost a little anxious, almost a little intimidated at times."
The Bobcats tried to bounce back in the second half, when Burnett dropped in the team's first field goal since the opening quarter on a long pass from Hansen, cutting the deficit to 38-7 at the midpoint of the third.
Enterprise, a running team that can score in bunches, as evidenced by quick runs all game, immediately answered Burnett's basket in a style it feels more comfortable — a full-court pass from Gray to Sanders for a lay-up in the open floor to push the lead to 40-7.
Sanders, ranked third in the section in scoring averaging a shade over 17 a game, finished with 16 points, while Gray added nine points and two 3-pointers and Martin put together a near double-double of nine points and eight rebounds.
Paradise, meanwhile, finally gained some rhythm and won the fourth quarter, 20-6.
Burnett finished with 13 points, while Bengson tallied nine and Mundt contributed seven points and a team-high six rebounds.
"I could have unloaded my bench and I didn't want to do that. I wanted to keep those girls out there to try and help them continue to figure it out," Hansen said. "Obviously they unloaded their bench and put their second team out there, (so) I felt it was a time we could score some points and (make) the score fairly respectable."
Paradise returns to Red Bluff to play West Valley at 1 p.m. Thursday in a consolation game, while Enterprise squares off against Corning in the first semifinal, beginning at 4 p.m. Friday.
Corning 41, West Valley 32
Senior Rachel Silva dropped in a team-high 13, while sophomore Baylie Fryar delivered eight points and a pair 3s to lead Corning (7-1) to a 41-32 win over West Valley in the opener of the Red Bluff Classic Wednesday.
West Valley's Aubrey Mendonca, the ninth-best scorer in the section, led the Eagles (2-5) with 10 in the loss.

When you are planning to hold your own event, it's vital to choose the right location. Your decision will no doubt be influenced by important factors, such as price, position and facilities. You may also need overnight accommodation, good transport links, catering facilities or exhibition space
But before you book a basic hotel solution, it's worth looking around for a more unusual venue that could turn your event into a special occasion.
An interesting venue delivers three important things: it can increase attendance levels, it can show your business in a more positive light and it can make the event itself more atmospheric and memorable.
Holding your event at an unusual venue does not have to cost the earth. A specialist venue-finding company can help you find the right location. You won't pay any more than going direct, as these companies agree discounted rates and receive commission from the venue. In addition a good event management agency can help you run the entire event and add creative value with ideas for an engaging programme.
What matters is to find a venue that has a good fit with the style of your event and the audience you're inviting.
Impressive venues
Museums can be fascinating places to hold a get-together. The National Media Museum in Bradford, for example, has everything from large auditoria to seminar rooms, all with state-of-the-art AV facilities. It even offers exclusive screenings of IMAX films.
In London, the Canal Museum, close to King's Cross station, has bags of character and a peaceful waterside setting. Its unique selling point is that it offers quality at budget prices - small meeting rooms cost from £99 plus VAT.
Sporting venues can help you create a successful event. Many football clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, offer meeting rooms, conference facilities, catering and a tour of their own hallowed ground. For rugby fans, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium has facilities for events of all sizes.
Cricket-lovers will jump at the chance to come to any event held at a major cricket ground. Edgbaston, in the West Midlands, has conference rooms and boxes. In London, Lords promises an unforgettable experience whether you are a fan of cricket or not.
One sporting event that has wide appeal is horse-racing. Perth Racecourse in Scotland, for example, is set in the beautiful surroundings of Scone Palace Park. Just outside London, Kempton Park Racecourse has corporate suites and Ascot Racecourse can look after groups from 10 to 3,000 in its extensive facilities.
A touch of history
A stunning Thames location and a touch of history are on offer aboard the HMS Belfast in London. Inside there are special spaces to hire including the Admiral's Quarters. Outside, you can have a barbeque on the Quarterdeck.
If you're after a historic location, you can't beat London's Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms. The meeting facilities include a number of period rooms, all with up-to-date AV facilities and air conditioning.
How about holding your do at the legendary Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London? Impress your guests in a club that has played host to everyone from Nina Simone to The Rolling Stones.
Another winning idea is to hold your event in a zoo. London Zoo has facilities for everything from team-building events to press launches.
One of the premier venues in Wales has to be the Millennium Centre, in Cardiff Bay. The centre has two theatres, six function rooms, galleries, shops, restaurants and foyer spaces.
In Scotland, the Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour is a major visitor attraction and an interesting place to hold an event. Further north on the banks of Loch Ness is another venue with a view. Loch Ness Lodge has facilities for small groups such as team gatherings and receptions.
You don't have to be green-fingered to appreciate the splendour of Kew Gardens in London. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is gaining a reputation for hosting some original events, thanks to its venues such as the Orangery and the impressive Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House.
Thrill-seekers will love the idea of the Big Blue, a unique hotel on Blackpool's seafront, overlooking Europe's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, the Pepsi Max Big One.
There are hundreds of interesting venues the length and breath of the UK. Most venues have a wide choice of facilities for every budget and now is a good time to find some bargains. So when it comes to booking a venue, it definitely pays to think outside the box.

Contempo Physical Premieres SenZalma at The Cowles Center
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Contempo Physical Dance will premiere SenZalma at The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts, 528 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403, February 7-9, 2014.
SenZalma is inspired by the historic poem, O Navio Negreiro (The Slave Ship), by the well-known, respected and studied Brazilian writer and poet, Castro Alves (1847-1871), whose profound writing and vivid imagery incites fervent and sublime explorations of the companys dynamic fusion of Afro-Brazilian dance, capoeira and contemporary dance.
Castro Alves is known in Brazil as the poet of the slaves and O Navio Negreiro is perhaps one of the most influential abolition poems ever written. Castro Alves wasnt afraid to depict horrific scenes, yet dont expect to see a literal representation of the poem on stage. Choreographer Marciano Silva dos Santos turns the poetry on its head, where struggle and brutality are wrapped into strength and humanity. I dont intend to demonstrate the tragedy in the poem, but the expressiveness of the power and beauty behind the history.
Marciano makes a commentary by combining two words for the title of his most recent work SenZalma. Senzalas were large structures created specifically to house slaves in Brazil who were believed to not have souls. Alma in Portuguese means soul. Im interested in exploring the soul of the movement and the human experience, explains Marciano. SenZalma is a contemporary response to the poem.
The score for SenZalma is original music by Brazilian composer and professor, Divan, from the University of Campinas in São Paulo. Marciano and Divan met at the Joinville Dance Festival in Brazil in 2009. Marciano was immediately attracted to his work and asked to use several compositions for the companys debut performance of Motirô at The Ritz Theater in 2012. The pair has been working remotely from Minnesota and Brazil since July to create the music and choreography simultaneously.
The performance will also feature visual and lighting design by award-winning artists, Josh Sarantitis and Mike Grogan. Josh has been creating monumental professional work in public spaces for over twenty years. He is known for his glass installations and mosaic murals, including his Loring Lilies in Minneapolis, MN. In a recent conversation with Marciano about the visual design for SenZalma, he said after seeing the choreography he wanted to express the positive emanating from a pressure point.
About Contempo Physical Dance
Contempo Physical Dance aspires to be internationally recognized for its dynamic fusion of Afro-Brazilian dance, capoeira and contemporary dance. Now in its third season, the company is dedicated to contemporary dance research, the creation of vibrant new movement, and the performance of dance works that challenge human physicality and invigorate audiences everywhere. Founder, artistic director and choreographer, Marciano Silva dos Santos, is a native of Brazil and came to the United States after being recognized by the American Folkloric Society as a culturally diverse artist of exceptional merit. His rigorous approach to body-based research produces distinct Brazilian-imbued movement palettes and highly physical choreographic works.

Projecting the Field of 65: Feb. 15February 15, 2010
With just 27 days left until Selection Sunday, three No. 1 seeds from last year's tournament are in danger of missing this season's Big Dance. Where do Louisville, North Carolina, and UConn stand as of now?
As always, I am not trying to guess how teams will finish the year; I am simply seeding them based on their current resumes.
I like to break teams down into three categories:
"Wallflowers" are bubble teams because everyone wants to get into the Big Dance, but not all have the guts to ask a girl out onto the dance floor.
Elite teams are safely in the field—"Dancing with a hottie"—and in the middle are the schools that are "Dancing with their sister."
Dancing with a Hottie: Duke (2 seed), Wake Forest (3)
Dancing with Their Sister: Georgia Tech (8), Maryland (8), Clemson (8)
Wallflowers: Florida State (10), Virginia Tech (10)
Clemson increased its chances of making the NCAA Tournament by beating Florida State and Miami at home to climb above .500 in conference and move up to 35 in the RPI. The Tigers are 3-5 vs. the top 50 and 6-6 against the top 100.
Virginia Tech also got itself on more solid ground by defeating NC State and Virginia to run its win streak to four. It's hard to see a 20-4 team with a 7-3 record in the ACC being left out of the field.
The Cavs, which dropped to 95 in the RPI, and North Carolina, which is now 3-7 in conference, have been removed from consideration at this time.
Big East
Dancing with a Hottie: Syracuse (1), Villanova (1), West Virginia (3), Georgetown (3)
Dancing with Their Sister: Pittsburgh (6)
Wallflowers: Marquette (11), Louisville (12), Cincinnati (12)
It was a good week for the Big East bubble teams. Marquette improved its win streak to five with a 63-52 victory over South Florida. The Eagles are 7-5 in conference, but with just a 2-6 mark vs. the top 50 and a 4-6 record against the top 100, they might want to beat Pittsburgh at home on Thursday.
Louisville had a roller-coaster week. First, the Cardinals were embarrassed by St. John's in a 74-55 loss at Madison Square Garden, putting their tournament hopes on life support. But on Sunday, Rick Pitino's team put together a great second-half defensive effort to shock the second-ranked Orange at the Carrier Dome. The win sneaks No. 31 Louisville (16-9, 7-5) into one of the final four spots.
Cincinnati wasn't as fortunate against Syracuse, but the Bearcats won 60-48 at UConn in Jim Calhoun's return to get themselves the last at-large bid. Cincy has good non-conference wins over Vanderbilt and Maryland.
Big Ten
Dancing with a Hottie: Purdue (2), Ohio State (3), Wisconsin (4), Michigan State (4)
Dancing with Their Sister: Illinois (8)
Illinois appeared destined for the NIT as recently as Jan. 26, but the Illini have won five of six since then including victories over Michigan State and at Wisconsin, and now may be the higher seed in their NCAA first-round matchup. Illinois was blown out at home by Ohio State on Valentine's Day, but the Illini are still 4-5 vs. the top 50.
Northwestern removed itself from consideration with a 13-point loss at No. 182 Iowa and then Minnesota did the same thing when it fell to Michigan and NU in back-to-back games.
Big XII
Dancing with a Hottie: Kansas (1), Kansas State (2), Texas (4), Texas A&M (4)
Dancing with Their Sister: Baylor (5)
Wallflowers: Missouri (10), Oklahoma State (first out), Texas Tech (fifth out)
Texas Tech survived by just one point at Oklahoma before losing at home to Texas A&M by two to drop from the field. The Red Raiders are now 1-8 vs. the top 50 and 4-6 in conference.
Oklahoma State, meanwhile, kept its hopes alive by crushing the Sooners by 21 in the Cowboys' only contest this past week. They are 5-5 in the league and 32 in the RPI, but find themselves just out of the bracket having lost three of four with a 2-6 road mark.
Wallflowers: California (9), Washington (sixth out), Arizona State (eighth out)
California is beginning to put together a respectable resume despite being 0-4 against the top 50. The Bears beat Washington by 12 and have now won three straight to rise to 22 in the RPI with the fifth toughest schedule in the country. They are 9-4 in the Pac-10.
Arizona State kept its name in the discussion by sweeping the Oregon schools by 10 points each at home. The Sun Devils are 8-5 in conference, but just 2-7 vs. the top 100. Their win over San Diego State on Dec. 19 is looking better.
Dancing with a Hottie: Kentucky (1)
Dancing with Their Sister: Vanderbilt (5), Tennessee (5)
Wallflowers: Mississippi (11), Mississippi State (12), Florida (fourth out), South Carolina (seventh out)
Mississippi State took Florida's spot in the field when the Bulldogs beat Ole Miss and the Gators lost at South Carolina and at home to Xavier. Florida is just 2-6 against the top 50.
Atlantic 10
Dancing with Their Sister: Temple (6), Xavier (6), Richmond (7), Rhode Island (7)
Wallflowers: Charlotte (9), Dayton (9)
Richmond continued its torrid pace by winning at Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure to run its streak to six games and take sole possession of first place.
Temple also beat URI, which dropped all the way down to sixth in conference. The Rams are still 24 in the RPI with wins over Oklahoma State and Dayton on their ledger.
The Flyers, meanwhile, suffered the worst loss this past week at St. Louis, but not before destroying Charlotte by 28.
Xavier picked up the biggest win of the last seven days beating Florida by 12 on the road in a big non-conference battle. The Musketeers are now 4-6 vs. the top 50 and sit at 20 in the RPI.
Mountain West
Dancing with a Hottie: New Mexico (2)
Dancing with Their Sisters: BYU (6), UNLV (9)
Wallflowers: San Diego State (11)
I see no reason why New Mexico doesn't deserve a two seed right now. After winning at UNLV and Utah to improve its winning streak to nine games, the Lobos are currently 7-2 vs. the top 50 and 11-2 against the top 100. They are No. 9 in the RPI with other solid victories over Cal, A&M, Texas Tech, Dayton, BYU and San Diego State.
The Aztecs, meanwhile, finally got that second big win they needed to back up their Jan. 5 victory over UNM and propel themselves into the field when they beat UNLV by 10 on Saturday. SDSU has an RPI of 40.
Other Conferences
Dancing with Their Sister: Butler (5), Northern Iowa (7), Gonzaga (7)
Wallflowers: UTEP (10), Old Dominion (11), Kent State (12) Saint Mary's (third out), Memphis (ninth out)
UTEP is one of the hottest teams in the country with nine consecutive wins, but fellow Conference USA team UAB was dropped from the field after losing at home to Marshall. The Blazers have come up short in three of their last four contests.
Cornell lost any chance at claiming an at-large when they were shocked at 4-16 Pennsylvania.
Siena also deeply damaged its at-large hopes with a loss at Niagara, but the Saints will have a chance to redeem themselves in Saturday's Bracketbuster game at Butler.
Another big Bracketbuster to keep an eye on is Old Dominion at Northern Iowa on Friday.
Saint Mary's has pretty much no shot at an at-large after losing at Gonzaga and Portland. The Gaels' final three regular-season games are against sub-200 competition, so they'll have to win the West Coast Conference Tournament to earn a bid.
Automatic Bids
13 seeds: Utah State, Siena, Cornell, Murray State
14 seeds: Oakland, College of Charleston, Weber State, Sam Houston State
15 seeds: Belmont, Coastal Carolina, Morgan State, UCSB
16 seeds: Stony Brook, Robert Morris, Lehigh, Middle Tennessee, Jackson State

SAN DIEGO ---- It's official now.
Left tackle Jared Gaither is out for the regular-season opener on Sept. 10. Mike Harris is in.
Coaches told the undrafted rookie from UCLA that he will start against the Raiders on opening day, a revealing fact on several fronts.
It indicates that Gaither is nowhere close to returning to practice. The incumbent starter has missed all but one practice with a back injury that has made little progress. He has seen three independent physicians, undergone a pair of MRIs and remains unable to even work out on a side field.
Making Harris the starter doesn't eliminate the possibility of the Chargers pursuing a veteran replacement, but it acknowledges that the team feels there is not a player on the open market familiar enough with its offense to play right away.
It also shows great faith in Harris, who has worked with the first team throughout the preseason.
"You have to go with what you see and trust and what you believe," Chargers coach Norv Turner said after Saturday's practice. "I like what our left tackle has done, so he has to hold the fort down until we get Gaither back."
Turner said Gaither is doing things necessary to rehab effectively, but there is no timetable for his return.
That leaves left tackle duties to Harris.
"It's a dream come true," Harris said. "The opportunity was given to me when tackles went down, and I was able to overcome. I fought my way up from third string to second string to first string, and I've been able to hold that spot down. That's what I plan on doing, staying in there."
Harris has the confidence of quarterback Philip Rivers and his fellow linemen.
"He has an opportunity most rookies don't get," left guard Tyronne Green said. "His confidence has improved throughout camp, and his track record shows that he'll keep getting better each week. He knows what he's doing, and he doesn't have to ask a lot of questions. He communicates and executes like a more experienced player."
Harris acknowledges that the opportunity he has received is rare but believes he has earned the starting spot. He worked against the likes of Green Bay's Clay Mathews and Minnesota's Jared Allen during the preseason, though Allen routinely beat him in the third exhibition.
"I improve each play, each week," Harris said. "I went against some great competitors during the preseason, and I used it to become a better player. I'm able to look at the game differently, and I can see what a defense is trying to do. I'm working hard and am ready to take the next step."
He'll be working with four offensive linemen who started the majority of last season and fared well when they played together. The group has become increasingly confident in a man completely overlooked on draft day.
"I always believed I could play at this level," Harris said. "It was uneasy for me, not getting drafted, but it's become a chip on my shoulder. As crazy as it may sound, I did imagine a scenario like this. Now it's playing out.
"I survived OTAs and training camp and proved to the coaches and my teammates that I could play. I'm here, ready to go and ready to start my first NFL season."
Et cetera
Several Chargers returned to practice Saturday. C Nick Hardwick , CB Marcus Gilchrist , CB Shareece Wright , S Darrell Stuckey , CB Quentin Jammer and TE Dante Rosario practiced in a game-planning session that wasn't very physical. Those players are being eased back in to full-time work. ... RB Ryan Mathews (clavicle), NT Antonio Garay and LT Jared Gaither (back) remained out. WR Vincent Brown (broken ankle) worked on strength and conditioning drills during practice.

RAF reservists based at Brize Norton will march through Witney next month for the first time since they were awarded the Freedom of the County.
Oxfordshire County Council gave 4624 Squadron, the RAF's largest reserve squadron with 250 personnel, the unique honour in May last year.
The squadron will now exercise its right to march through the town centre on Sunday, September 14.
The 2120 Witney Squadron Air Training Corps will join them for the parade.
They will form up in Woodford Way at 10.20am and then pass along Welch Way and High Street, stopping at the war memorial in Church Green for a salute before continuing to St Mary's Church for a service.
The parade will mark Battle of Britain Week, which runs from Monday, September 15, to Sunday, September 21, marking the RAF's defence of the country from German attacks in 1940.
Witney's mayor Jeanette Baker, who will take the salute, said: "I'm delighted that the squadron has chosen Witney for their first-ever march.
"This colourful event is a suitably impressive way of commemorating Battle of Britain Week and a great way to celebrate our strong relationship with our neighbours at RAF Brize Norton."

Do You Think About Self-Curation?
I read an excellent novel last weekend, Dana Spiotta's Stone Arabia. Like any good novel, it's about many things, but in particular, it made me think about the issue of self-curation.
In his "Chronicles," the character Nik elaborately archives his work in music and an alternate autobiography. He tells his sister Denise, "Self-curate or disappear."
As I was reading, I realized: I suffer from archive anxiety. Partly about my actual life, which is why I've adopted resolutions such as Keep a one-sentence journal and Suffer for fifteen minutes. They help me chronicle my life.
But for me, the greater worry is the archiving and curation of my observations — not my actual life, but my intellectual life. Even though taking notes on my reading and thinking is one of my favorite things to do, it's also burdensome: it takes up a lot of time, and I worry about whether I'll be able to find what I want later and whether I'm making good use of my materials. So much wonderful material! I want to write book after book after book, to think it all through.
Reading Stone Arabia has made me consider this theme of "self-curation" in a different light.
I need to think about this more.
How about you? Do you "self-curate"? What steps do you take to preserve memories, to catalog memorabilia, to leave a record of your life, thoughts, experiences, and to review it? Do you do it for yourself, or with an eye to an audience? Do you feel the need to curate anyone else's history?
Check out the Pop vs. Soda map that shows, county by county, the most commonly used term for "soft drink": pop, Coke, soda, or "other."

I am two months out from a revision to lower my overly high creases. It was too successful and now I look like I have single eyelids. I know the lids will fall lower as the swelling subside over time. I do not want another open bleph. My surgeon suggested suture technique or excising skin to raise the platform. The scarring is not obvious anymore and external swelling unnoticeable. Are these viable options? I look a lot better with a small lid and am upset by my "too good" revision. Thanks!
Non-incisional Technique to Raise Creases After Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery?
Doctor Answers 2
Waiting up to a year...
It would be best for you to be patient at this point. Recurrent surgey, done too quickly can often do more harm than good.
Wait a few more months then consider posting photos.
Good luck
I would recommend waiting a full 6 to 12 months before considering additional work.
You are very fortunate that your surgeon was able to improve you overly high crease. Please understand that eyelids are not like car engines. The more you work on a car engine the better it performs. This is not the case for eyelid. Please be patient. See how your eyelids heal long term before considering any additional work.

Because attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is complex and each person with ADHD is unique, it's hard to make recommendations that work for every child. But some of the following suggestions may help create an environment in which your child can succeed.
Caring for a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder can be challenging for the whole family. Parents may be hurt by their child's behavior as well as by the way other people respond to it. The stress of dealing with ADHD can lead to marital conflict. These problems may be compounded by the financial burden that ADHD can place on families.
Siblings of a child with ADHD also may have special difficulties. They can be affected by a brother or sister who is demanding or aggressive, and they may also receive less attention because the child with ADHD requires so much of a parent's time.
Many resources are available, such as social services or support groups. Support groups often can provide helpful information about coping with ADHD. Ask your child's doctor if he or she knows of any support groups in your area.
There also are excellent books and guides for both parents and teachers, and Internet sites dealing exclusively with ADHD. But be careful of websites or other resources that focus on risky or unproved remedies or those that conflict with your health care team's recommendations.
Many parents notice patterns in their child's behavior as well as in their own responses to that behavior. Both you and your child may need to change behavior. But substituting new habits for old ones takes a lot of hard work. It's important to have realistic expectations. Set small goals for both yourself and your child and don't try to make a lot of changes all at once.

New law caps agriculture assessments, protecting farms from tax hikes
Senator George Maziarz (R-C, Newfane) is very pleased to announce that legislation (S.1952 of 2013) he co-sponsored to limit the annual increase in agricultural assessments to 2% has been signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
"This new law helps control assessments and therefore property taxes," Senator Maziarz said. "We are striving to make it easier to keep farms in operation, and we can do that by preventing them from drowning in a tidal wave of new taxes."
"Farming is a land-intensive business, and it is critical to our state's economy and to our communities," Senator Maziarz said. "We cannot afford to tax our farms out of business."
The measure, previously approved by the Senate in 2012, was strongly supported by the New York Farm Bureau. It was passed unanimously by the both chambers of the State Legislature this year.
The new law takes effect immediately.

PHOTO: Workers building the shelter framework.
Milton Funes, our Country Director for Honduras and a civil engineer by trade, has been in Haiti to oversee the beginning of this process. Milton has responded to earthquakes in Peru and El Salvador in the past and is experienced across many countries. The purpose of the pilot project is to begin the process of training local Haitians in how to build these structures. At the site, community members came and helped out, and volunteered when they saw the project. Through this, CHF was able to identify a skilled carpenter that we have now hired to help with this process.
PHOTO: Milton Funes, CHF Country Director for Honduras, trainers new workers on how to set up a shelter.
It takes approximately 4 skilled people and 3-4 community helpers to build such a shelter. CHF is using locally available materials which makes the shelters both possible and helps to stimulate the local economy. The building has a slanted roof with, where possible, a gutter, so that rain water can be recycled for drinking, and we are looking into including solar lamps to upgrade the shelters. The size of the shelter responds to international standards of 3.5 square meters per person. The shelter is anchored to the ground by the four wooden corner posts which are placed 18 inches into the soil, then a raised floor made of recycled rubble and cement is built to ensure the shelter is stable and less vulnerable to flooding. All parts of the shelter are firmly joined to ensure resistance to adverse weather and earthquakes.
CHF will partner with local mayors to identify areas where we can work with the community to build transitional housing lots for families.

He is an enigma wrapped in naiveté inside 260 pounds of bulk. Every CFL scout and general manager knows who he is. They just don't know what to do with him.
Take him on as a project? Pass on him altogether?
What is clear is Chris Hodgson is as intriguing as he is indefinable; a mish mash of power and possibility. The son of a Major League Baseball player and competitive figure skater, he's been a skateboarder and snowboarder, a hockey player in the QMJHL, in the East Coast League, the United League, and a member of the University of New Brunswick's national championship-winning team.
Now, he's a 26-year-old football prospect with only one year's experience at the Canadian university level; a guy who learned much about chasing quarterbacks by watching videos on YouTube.com. And that means come Sunday's Canadian draft, Hodgson could be the "Story of the Day" or the quasi-football player no one wanted.
Either way, he's too irresistible to ignore.
"He was invited to the recent evaluation camp, which means at least three [CFL]teams had to ask for him to be there," assessed Steve Sumarah, Hodgson's football coach at Saint Mary's University. "Everybody's holding their cards pretty close but every one [of the eight CFL teams]has called me about him. Every one."
Little wonder. Hodgson popped eyes when he participated at the 2011 E-Camp in Toronto. There, he was put through the standard drills and surprised onlookers with his agility and a 39.5-inch vertical leap. The scouts noted his father, Paul Hodgson, had played for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1980. There were thoughts Chris Hodgson could be a special-teams' dynamo that might one day develop into a linebacker or defensive end.
That thinking hasn't changed. But as the draft nears, opinions on Hodgson are varied.
One team official said flat out: "He's not on our draft board." Another suggested his team might spend a late pick on Hodgson "depending on how things play out."
Hodgson knows exactly what has to happen.
"At this point in my career, I need a coach who likes me and is willing to take a chance on me," he said. "I understand that."
Hodgson's saga sounds a little like Danny Watkins's rise from Kelowna fire fighter to 2011 NFL first-round draft pick in just four years. The difference is Watkins got to start two years at a U.S. junior college before getting two more years of starting time on the offensive line at Baylor University. A robust 6 foot 3 and 310 pounds, Watkins got the best of everything (training, coaching, competition, publicity) and made the most of it.
Hodgson's football career consists of playing bits and pieces last season with Saint Mary's. Hockey was where he got to show what he could do. In the QMJHL, Hodgson first played for Shawinigan on a line with future NHLers Alexandre Burrows and Jason Pominville. He later played in Acadie-Bathurst, as did current Boston Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron. In his best season, Hodgson scored 15 goals and 21 assists in 57 games with Acadie-Bathurst and even logged ice time against Rimouski Océanic wonder kid Sidney Crosby.
Ignored in the NHL draft, Hodgson bounced around the minors, fighting here, scoring there, before joining the UNB Varsity Reds and being part of their 2009 championship season.
Tired of hockey yet keen to do something else, Hodgson thought of football - a sport he once tried when he was 12, a year after his parents had divorced. (His dad moved to Ottawa; Hodgson lived in Fredericton with his mom, a figure skater in her day.)
Football had offered little attraction when he was young. (He gave it up to skateboard and shoot videos so he could land sponsors. Some of his boarding can be seen on YouTube.) But being older, Hodgson found solace in working out and pushing himself in a new direction. He switched sports and schools and showed enough at Saint Mary's to keep his story going.

Simple question that has not been asked - point blank in quite some time.
I realize Jeff will never be an allstar, I realize he will never make some of you forget the former center the Pacers had, but I like Jeff a lot as the starting center.
If someone were to tell me that for the next 5 - 6 years that Jeff will be the starting center alongside J.O, I would be happy.
Let me address a few arguments I foresee some of you making.
1) What about the Pistons series. Jeff was basically taken out of that series because he could not score. I consider that a special situation. Tinsley was getting physically worse by the game. The pacers were put in a tough position of having to change their game. The fact is the Pacers lost the series.
2) Pacers need a bigger stronger center. Pacers need a bigger styronger center to allow J.O to play power forwartd. I really disagree with both of these. Pacers need a very good one on-one defender so J.O can do what he does best and that is be the Pacers Ben Wallace on defense, block shots. Help out. If J.O has to defend players like Sheed, Odom, and other good offensive players he would not be able to help out on defense.
If Dampier replaces Foster, J.O will have to guard Odom, Sheed.
3) So many, myself includes made the point that Brad and J.O were a very good combo offesively, and yes they were, but Jeff and J.O are a much better combo defensively
I have several more reasons, but I have to go

iv made a cake but i dont think it is cooked properly the outside is kind of crunchy but parts of the inside look kind of wet, i did check it when it was cooked the knife came out clean, the is need for tomorrow iv included a picture
yeah, that looks a little off. The only way to know for sure if its baked through is to torte it. But the edges do look a bit overbaked. Did you bake it at no more than 325? Also, there's no need to wait to the last minute to bake a cake. You can bake at least 2 weeks in advance and freeze.
this is the recipe i followed http://www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk/recipes/item/two-tier-chocolate-cake im using a fan oven, and my tins were 6inch and 8inch and i baked each tier for an extra 5 mins
AYeah that cake doesn't look quite right and like leah mentioned you can bake and freeze your cakes ahead of time believe it our not a frozen cake comes out very moist. Just bake your cake let cool a bit in the pan level in pan than turn out on a cakeboard same size as cake than wrap a few times in cling wrap and put in freezer. As far as this cake goes its like leah said only way to make sure its done is to torte.
this the cake when i torte it
ADid you use a good digital scale to weigh your ingredients out? Your cake sure looks dry on the edges and not completely cooked in the middle. You probably need to check your oven temperature .
AOh it looks ok in my opinion....not to bad.probably be able to fill and ice it or is it undercooked I can't really tell.
yes i used a digital scale to weigh my ingredients i did put the oven to the recommended temp for fan oven
my partner said it taste fine but im being really fussy, as the cake is for my sisters 21st
AWell its now up to you you can either fill and ice these cakes or start all over again. You really need to use a separate oven thermometer to test to make sure the temperature isn't off... I've read on here that you would be surprised how many ovens are off quite a bit
AI don't know what 180c temperature is because I'm in the US and I don't know how to figure the difference out but a hour and and a half in an oven seems like a long time but it does depend on what temperature you're cooking at.
thank you for help i have another in the oven now will see how this one goes if this is the same then it must be my oven
AYeah I've read on here that its best to lower oven temperature to 325 when baking a cake.
i shall be lowering the temp until i get my oven thermometer
AJust remember it will take longer to bake all the way through watch it carefully so that it doesn't get overcooked.
Hi Kirsti, I'm in the UK, I always drop my electric fan oven to 150-160 when the recipe says 180.
For my heavy fruits I start at 150 for an hour and then go to 130 for the rest
Good luck
thank you all for your help and advice, the cake was a success not a crumb left at all

Penny from CAHS came by the radio station this morning with Royston (named such because he was found in a box along Royston road in Grand Ledge), who is being held by Joey. I'm holding Porter — and despite what Joey said, I did NOT throw the cat — he's wiggly and he fell out of my hands!! My vet says kittens are tough…he's fine!!

The average American home now has 2.93 TV sets per household, up from 2.86 sets per home in 2009, the largest year-over-year increase since 2006 according to Nielsen's latest Television Audience Report. This year the number of US homes with three or more TV sets increased to 55%, 28% have two sets and 17% have one set.
There are a lot of cool charts in the Television Audience Report, and I find the long-term growth in HD-Receiveable homes interesting, though it's still less than 50%. Note: Most of the data in the report appears to be based on estimates from last fall for the 2009-2010 season, so some of the data won't look new to people who are tracking regularly.


text: Romance novelist writes 'love letter' to Appalachia By Elizabeth Gaucher April 20, 2013 Story Share Chip Ellis Susan Maguire displays the "Kentucky Home" e-book cover on her iPad. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's a classic tale of a double life: mild-mannered librarian by day, steamy romance writer by night.Susan Maguire is the circulation services supervisor for the Kanawha County Public Library, but she is also romance author Sarah Title. When she's not making sure overdue books are returned, she's making pulses race with her new digital book, "Kentucky Home," which came out April 18 from e-Kensington and is available anywhere e-books are sold, like Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.Her sexy lead characters Mallory Thompson and Keith Carson discover love and passion underneath their initial frustration with each other at the fictional Wild Rose Farm and Stables. Mallory is distancing herself from a villainous ex-husband, and Keith has withdrawn after his wife's death.The bookends of heartbreak and healing are expected in a romance novel, but it's the in-between parts that challenge a writer, Maguire said."There is sort of a dismissal of all kinds of genre fiction -- that it's predictable and it's not meaningful. I don't like to compare it to literary fiction because I think that makes both kinds of writing come out losing. I think all kinds of reading are valuable," she said."People are attracted to the romance formula because it's comforting. But, in the right hands, it's also interesting because you know you have to get from point A to point B, and there are a lot of different ways to get there."Maguire has a bachelor's degree in English from Vassar College and a master's in library science from Indiana University. She came to Charleston six years ago to take the job at the library, though her passion for books and reading has had the lead in her life since childhood.She wrote her debut novel, "A Ride on Halley's Comet," when she was in the third grade. Her blog says, "It was a compelling story of one girl's anthropological adventures at a Martian dinner party. Feedback was strong, but reviewers said the science needed work." "Kentucky Home" came to life when Maguire and a friend, who was living in Kentucky, started having fun with the Harlequin romance novel formula."My friend was in Kentucky horse country at the time, and we started creating characters. We made up the feisty Irish horse trainer and the sheik who owns all these thoroughbred horses -- stuff that does appear in romance novels. That is where I jumped off from, but it turned out not at all to be the Kentucky that I wrote about. These people are not rich."As a transplant to Appalachia, she wanted to write "a love letter of sorts" to the region that captures her feelings about the unexpected warmth and complexity of people here. Though set in Kentucky, Maguire's novel addresses many of her perceptions of her experiences with people in West Virginia.She began reading romance novels in high school but stopped in college when she became "a serious English major person." When she started toward her master's degree, however, she read a wide range of genres to gain the skills to help library patrons. "I started reading romance again and thought, wait, these are good. That got me back into it." Maguire had a longstanding interest in writing, but she struggled to find her best form. When she tried her first romance novel, things just "clicked."She used National Novel Writing Month (an annual November event) to push herself to finish her draft in 2009. She reached 50,000 words, and while the manuscript needed a lot of work, "the characters were there.""Characters are the most important thing in a romance novel," Maguire said. "The reader needs to fall in love with them so they can enjoy watching them fall in love with each other." She says there are small pieces of people she knows in some of her creations. "There's one character, Libby, who is sort of the maternal caretaker of the Carson family. I didn't do this consciously, but as I was reading it back I thought, 'Oh, she's kind of like my Aunt Sue, who lives on a sheep farm and has this heal-with-cookies kind of thing.'"As far as her own personality and life experience go, Maguire says the extent to which she appears in her own characters is their sense of humor. "To me, the weirdest thing is that people will read my book and think that's how my Saturday night is. I guess there are worse things than people imagining I have a healthy sex life. My romantic life is great and fine. It's not the same as in the book. The book is made up."After receiving encouragement and enthusiasm from her writing-group friends, Maguire decided to finish her manuscript. She wanted to attend a conference she saw in Romantic Times, a big romance novel industry magazine. The full conference was too expensive for Maguire, but there was a pre-conference workshop in Chicago that was more affordable."At the end of the workshop there was a prize for your manuscript, and I won. The prize was that it would be read by an editor, and she read it and offered to buy it. I scrambled and got an agent, and here I am."Romance readers like e-books, she said. "People who love romance novels read a lot, and with e-books you can have a ton of books with you. And people don't have to see the covers. You don't have to be embarrassed by the naked-chest book you're reading," she laughed.Maguire recently finished a novella that takes place in the same town as does "Kentucky Home" and uses a side character from that book in a larger role. She has a contract to write one more book in e-Kensington's Southern Comfort series, and eventually she will have three full-length books. She also is collaborating with high-profile romance writers Lori Foster and Lucy Monroe. She said it's important that writers "really commit to fighting with" their manuscripts."Think about the excuses you give yourself for not writing. I have a full-time job and a life outside of work, and it is work to carve out time to write. But it's worth it. You have to carve out time to write, and it may not always feel worth it, but it is worth it."I wrote the book because I thought it would be fun, and because I thought it was something that would make people happy and that they could enjoy. One review on Goodreads.com says it's "a pleasant read for a cozy afternoon" and I am happy with that. I hope people just enjoy it, and that if they're thinking about writing a book that they do it."Visit Sarah Title's blog at www.sarahtitle.com, or connect with her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sarahtitlebooks.

It's partially that I am, genuinely, a rude human being, and for that I'm sorry. It's also partially that I hear everything he says a quarter-second later than he says it, and you know how that is. But I'll try! I like to hear Ben talk, too.
Sep 17, 2013 08:36 AM
I think you can chalk the attendance up to three things. Bad stadiums (Rays,A's), bad teams (Marlins, Astros, White Sox, Mariners), and historically bad teams that are improving but the fan base hasn't jumped on the bandwagon (Indians, Royals). I think the Sox should be most concerned. They are not loveable losers like their Northside brethren, but being in Chicago should put your attendance higher than San Diego, Minnesota, and Milwaukee.

This week, the Space Transportation Association (STA) honored Rep. Ralph Hall (TX-04) with their Lifetime Achievement Award. Rich Coleman, President of STA, presented the award. Additional keynote speakers included Science, Space, and Technology Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (TX-21) and Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee Chairman Steve Palazzo (R-MS).
"I'm pleased to be here today to honor Chairman Hall with the Space Transportation Association Lifetime Achievement Award," said Chairman Smith. "Much of what we hope to accomplish this Congress will be based on the hard work and principles that Ralph Hall has embodied over many years. It has been a privilege to serve with Ralph in the Texas Delegation and on the Science Committee since I was first elected...We thank him for his service to the Science, Space, and Technology Committee and to our country."
"While I accept this 'Lifetime Achievement Award' with great appreciation, I believe there is still much work to be done to ensure that the future of America's space program flourishes," said Hall. "A robust space program is critical to America's international leadership. Not only do we gain valuable knowledge and understanding about the world we live in, but the technological advances resulting from space research and development have contributed to America's innovation and competitiveness. As Chairman Emeritus of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I will continue my efforts to ensure our Nation's space program remains strong."

- IRIX has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.22, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- 49.60% is the gross profit margin for IRIDEX CORP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -9.50% is in-line with the industry average.
- IRIX, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 3.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.6%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 313.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.35 million to -$0.75 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry and the overall market, IRIDEX CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Medina Wallpapers and Theme Application
Medina also officially transliterated as Madinah by Saudi Government and in modern Islamic literature generally, is a modern city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia, and serves as the capital of Al Madinah Province. An alternative name is Madinat Al-Nabi ("The City of the Prophet," i.e. Muhammad). The Arabic word madinah simply means "city." Before the advent of Islam, the city was known as Yathrib but was personally renamed by Muhammad.
It is the second holiest city in Islam after Mecca and the burial place of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Medina is critically significant in Islamic History for being where Muhammad's final religious base was established after the Hijrah and where he died in 632 AD/11 AH. Medina was the power base of Islam in its first century, being where the early Muslim community (ummah) developed under the Prophet's leadership, then under the leadership of the first four caliphs of Islam: Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman and Ali

French Government Scholarships
The world's fifth-largest economy, France is also the fourth most popular destination for international students. Annual tuition rates at public institutions are set by law and are identical for all students - a Master's program can cost as low as 300€/year. Tuition rates at private institutions—particularly schools of business and management—is generally higher (from €3,000 to €10,000 annually). In France's public institutions of higher education, the government bears the bulk of the cost of education - an average of €10,000 per student per year.
Every year, the French Embassy in India along with French companies award scholarships totalling up to 7.1 crore Indian rupees to more than 300 meritorious young Indian graduates who wish to pursue their higher education in France.
Indian applicants with outstanding academic records have a number of funding options for their studies in France.

My Facebook is ugly again. It was nice for a while but everyone got political and now it's ugly again. No one is actually discussing any important World events. They're just bashing the President or bashing the people who are bashing the President, or finding clever ways to bash the bashers who started the bashing.
It's interesting to me that the same person who offers up prayers if I'm sick or sad will without thinking twice, post a comment damning me & other people who share my political beliefs.
"I like you and want the best for you, except when it comes to politics. Then you can suck it."
I do not post my political beliefs on social media because they are personal and based on years of life experience. I don't expect everyone to agree with them, but when did we decide that everyone WAS supposed to agree about politics? The back-and-forth and exchange of opinions is part of the process, right?
You can't tell me that our Founding Fathers didn't have some outrageous fights over differing opinions. It went WAY beyond "Yo Mama's So Fat" throw downs or ugly slams on Twitter, too. If the fight got too heated, someone just might challenge you to a duel. Thank goodness that doesn't happen anymore or they'd be sweeping up bodies in the Capitol like salon hair.
The people who founded this country never expected those who came after them to AGREE on everything. We HAVE to have an exchange of ideas, discussions and yes, even dissent if we're ever supposed to move forward. The problem comes when we're so busy stating and then restating our case that we no longer HEAR each other. Once the communication stops, we can no longer move forward.
We stagnate.
Sounds familiar, right?
Imagine for a second if all of us put them same amount of energy into LISTENING to other opinions that we put into stating our own.
It just might be a different world.
And if not, I say we give the "Yo Mama-Thons" a try. At least they'd be more fun to watch.

On-again, off-again couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are heating up again after a recent trip to Palm Springs. But Life & Style has learned that it was more than just a weekend getaway.
A source tells the mag, on newsstands now, that it was time for the duo to figure out what's in the cards for them, and that included talk of saying "I do!"
EXCLUSIVE: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's Secret Hookups
"They went away together to discuss their future and decided that they can't live without each other," a pal reveals to Life & Style, on newsstands now. "Marriage was definitely a topic of conversation."
Despite Kristen cheating on Rob with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, "They are inseparable and 100 percent back on," the pal says. "I wouldn't be surprised if they just suddenly eloped! Kristen is adamant that they should fully commit and move forward. Of course, she was the one who suggested running off to get married."
Liberty Ross Talks Ex-Husband Rupert Sanders' Affair With Kristen Stewart
But friends fear moving forward with a wedding could be detrimental. "Rob's addicted to her, even though he knows she's bad for him," the friend explains to Life & Style. "Their relationship was so toxic. All his friends are just praying he doesn't give her what she wants."
For more on Rob & Kristen's wedding plans, pick up this week's issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now.
