Though they might not have said it last week, qualifying for the playoffs with a 2-0 win Saturday in New York and the draw in Columbus on Sunday was welcomed with some relief for a few reasons as the team returned to training Tuesday morning.
"It would have been tough had we lost on Saturday," said Fire head coach Frank Klopas. "Last week was only the second time from a league standpoint where we dropped two games in a row so it would have been difficult to lose, have the long international break in between and have to think about the next game heading to New England on turf."
WATCH: Fire 2, Red Bulls 0
Tireless Fire winger Patrick Nyarko echoed his coach's sentiments.
"It's pretty exciting just to be back in the playoffs," said the veteran Ghanaian. "This organization is built to be in the playoffs every single year and we've been in the wilderness the last two. On the other hand, we haven't accomplished anything yet. We don't just want to show up to the playoffs. We're staying level-headed and going into our last two games trying to play for spots and we'll see where we land."
International Break Helps Heal Wounds
With only Uruguayan midfielder Alvaro Fernandez taking part in World Cup qualifying during the international break, Klopas indicated the team would use the time off to help get guys healthy.
In that regard, the biggest question mark surrounds the recovery of midfielder Pavel Pardo who has missed the team's last five games after suffering a calf strain in the 2-1 win at Toronto on September 12.
"He did train a little bit more today but we just have to see," said Klopas. "You have to be really careful with a calf [injury]. If you feel good and push it too much you can re-injure it. He's a little bit better but still not there. I think we have a little bit of time so we won't rush the guy."
Fire Anniversary a "Special Night"
The club commemorated its 15th anniversary with a supporter-driven celebration Monday night at the Chicago History museum. Over 20 former players, coaches and executives joined nearly the entire current squad and 400 guests in celebrating 15 years of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
"It was great to see the support of the current players who know the history of the club," said Klopas. "I think they're excited because they want to write their own history. The passion and connection the past players have for this organization is great for the current guys to see. I know that they feel just as honored to put that jersey on every day as the ones from years ago did."
"It was unbelievable seeing some of these guys I watched growing up," agreed Nyarko. "I told Frank yesterday when I saw Stoitchkov I was scared to go and say hello. All those guys built a history with the Fire and put the club where it is now. For us, we're just trying to continue on what they built."
"For me more than anything the anniversary is special because [October 8, 1997] meant professional soccer was back in the city of Chicago," continued Klopas. "To be in that room with a lot of '98 guys, the opportunity for those guys to be so connected, you kind of felt that everyone wanted to come and play for the team [back then]. This is what we've created again: the way you do things, the way you handle situations, the way you treat people."
"It was a fantastic event that made you proud to be a part of the Fire."

text: PROBLEM: The helicopter landing pad at the Fairview Riverside Hospital in Minneapolis, MN was in need of resurfacing as the previous coating had faded and worn away. To ensure that helicopters land and take off safely, it was critical that the helicopter landing pad had clear and highly visible markings. The markings also had to be durable enough to withstand the harsh winter conditions of Minneapolis. SOLUTION: The hospital facility manager selected the Rust-Oleum® 5600 System Acrylic Urethane Floor Paint and the 5500 System Acrylic Dustproofer Floor Sealer to resurface the helipad because their ease of application, durability and color retention qualities. The surface required minimal cleaning and the products were applied by brush and roller. As a result of the easy application and quick dry time, the project was completed promptly and resulted in minimal disruption to hospital activities. "We actually turned the helipad back to service sooner than I had planned without any problems whatsoever", explained the facility manager. "This allowed less time out of service. The end result is a job that looks great and has the protection we much needed." The newly refinished helipad now has a safe and defined landing area for helicopters transporting patients and staff to and from the hospital.

Well, it's time to dip back into the world of Hostess ads, this time we'll be taking a look at some Marvel fruit pie ads from 1975-1979.
You know, I don't want Peter to think I'm losing faith in him or anything, but Phil Spector and his crew seemed to capture him easily enough the first time with their patented Super-Steel Spider-Net. I think he's being a little over confident. In fact, move over Doc Ock, I believe Spiderman has a new arch-nemesis in town.
The Incredible Hulk and the Green Thumb 1977
I think this takes the crown for the most pointless Hostess ad ever. I mean first "Hulk want sit near shady tree with lady", then he's all, "Screw you lady and your stupid plant people, ARGHHHHH!!!" The fruit pies are so tertiary to the ad it's almost not funny. In the end I like to think this is really an ad starring the mighty Green Giant and he's punishing the vegie people for cannibalizing their fruity brethren. Green Giant SMASH!
Thor in the Ding-A-Ling Family 1977
Oh man. Who'd of thunk that a fruit pie ad starring Thor and a bunch of inbreed hillbillies could be so damn wordy? By the By, I do believe hilarity ensues when you get two sets of folks together and each has a sho' nuff funny way of gabbing on. I think I might need a secret Hostess Hillbilly Decoder ring to understand what exactly in going on here. Okay, so like Hillbillies in space (or what ever that area is on the rainbow bridge between Earth and Valhalla) is pretty cool, but when there are wonder powered twin cousins, who are strong enough in their redneck love connection to take down Thor (not to mention a smack on the noggin from Mjolnir), it just becomes so over the top cool that it starts back over at boring again. Okay, maybe it was all the words that made it boring, I mean these are Marvel Hostess ads which by definition should have at least 60% more action than the DC ads. Where was I? Oh yeah, wandering hands is like kryptonite for hillbilly twin cousins. I'll have to remember that on my next trip to Hazzard county…
Captain Marvel meets the Dreadnought 1978
I don't remember seeing a villain dispatched so quickly in a Fruit Pie ad before. Captain Marvel is apparently the man, no nonsense, screw the fruit pies, it's men's destiny that he's concentrating on.
Spiderman meets the Home Wrecker 1978
What an odd villain. It isn't everyday that we meet a guy whose purpose as a villain is nothing any more grand than destroying buildings for destruction's sake. No master plan for world domination, no money-making scheme, just plain old wrecking ball on concrete action for him. This is actually oddly refreshing.
Thor in Good Overcomes Evil 1978
I'd be pissed too if my magically charmed super warrior was freed of my evil grasp by a few fruit pies. Curses indeed! By the way, is this a Jack Kirby Hostess ad, or just a look-a-like artist?
The Incredible Hulk and the Ultimate Weapon 1979
I really wanted to see Hulk grab one of the fleeing humans and throw them at the Ultimate Weapon (or ordinary tank if you prefer.) So, um, where did the uber huge bag of fruit pies come from? I'm assuming Hulk fruit pie ads are hard to write or something.
The Human Torch in the Icemaster Cometh 1979
Seriously Johnny, I think the Icemaster was making a pass at you. Once again, much like in his cupcake ad, the Human Torch doesn't seem all that concerned with actually capturing the villain. Maybe they hook up off panel or something. He's such a player.
Iron Man in the Hungry Battleaxe 1979
So, uh, was Battleaxe going to eat the uranium? Honestly, I do think that's an awesome set of adjectives for a good villain, Big, Mean, and Hungry. Take a gander at the cop's dialogue though, the dude was paid off by the board of overweight pastry company owners to slip in a nasty bit of not having to be hungry to eat. See, it's comic ads faults that I struggled with childhood obesity!!!
Iron Man in Brains Over Brawn! 1979
Dude Tony, way to go yelling out your secret identity there! Next time, thought bubble it why don't ya. So why does every crack pot in the marvel comics universe think they can take over the movie with one weird looking tank? I guess they spend their childhood reading up on Rommel and developing a time portal device that only showed future movies, and even then on the C. Thomas Howell flick Tank. That's got to be it.
The Thing and the Ultimate Weapon 1979
First off, robots only like Twinkies. Second, I wonder who took the time to gather all the scrap parts from that Hulk ad and rebuild the Ultimate Weapon into this fruit pie swilling, cape-less, Doctor Doom wannbe? Third, how in the hell did those two cloaked dudes manage to get the Thing in such a tight spot? Oh Ben, just give them a damn fruit pie already. Oh wait, considering how he reacted in the whole cupcake caper, I guess I have to assume that Mr. Grimm only gives Hostess stuff to friends and not enemies. Stingy bastard.

Google launches Chrome DevTools for Mobile, lets developers debug Web apps via emulation and screencasting
Google today announced an update to Chrome 32 beta for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android that adds a slick new feature: Chrome DevTools for Mobile. In short, the new addition lets developers build and debug mobile Web apps through an improved viewport emulation and zero-configuration, screencast-enabled remote debugging.
While designing your app, DevTools lets you go through the popular device screens without leaving the development environment. Here's how it works.
All you have to do is select a device from the Console drawer's Emulation tab (check "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer" in DevTools Settings), and all the relevant viewport properties will be set for you. DevTools will run the page through the same mobile viewporting code used in mobile Chrome, and will also give you control of the emulation parameters, such as screen resolution, touch emulation, devicePixelRatio, user agent, sensors, and so on.
If you need to test your app's performance on an actual device, you can do so with the newly-added support for native USB discovery of connected devices. Head to Tools and choose Inspect Devices, or visit the about:inspect page.
The best part is that no configuration is necessary, the adb command line tool is entirely optional, and you don't need extensions to see all instances of Chrome and WebView on connected devices. While connected over USB, you can just screencast the full viewport content from the device to DevTools.
Last but certainly not least, keyboard and mouse events are also sent from DevTools to your device, so you don't even need to touch it while you're testing your apps. Mobile emulation, USB debugging, and screencasting should make it even easier for developers to build, inspect, and debug their mobile apps, which only helps Google's plan for helping push its version of the Web forward.

Hillary Clinton's Test at State: How She'll Work with Obama
Will Clinton and Obama forge the relationship necessary to get things done?
Dec. 1, 2008 -- WASHINGTON — She'll bring global star power, a long-standing commitment to improving the status of women and children around the world and muscular promises of military action when U.S. interests are crossed.
The question for Hillary Rodham Clinton, slated to be named secretary of State on Monday by President-elect Barack Obama, is whether she can forge the sort of close relationship with a former rival that is crucial to giving the nation's top diplomat the credibility to get things done.
"What matters most are two things," says James Lindsay, director of the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas-Austin. "One, the secretary of State has to have the president's ear. Two, the president has to have the secretary of State's back."
Obama is choosing for his most prestigious Cabinet post an independent-minded policymaker whose world view has been shaped by eight years as a globe-trotting first lady and eight years as a senator with time on the Armed Services Committee. She combines a focus on "soft" issues such as maternal health with rhetoric more hawkish than Obama's on containing Iran's nuclear program and protecting Israel.
She will be taking the lead on a crushing set of global challenges, including repercussions from last week's terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, which threaten a conflagration on the nuclear-armed subcontinent.
In collaboration with other administration officials, the incoming secretary of State will deal with the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, efforts to turn around the war in Afghanistan, nuclear programs in such rogue nations as North Korea and Iran, the challenge from a resurgent Russia and growing concerns about global climate change.
Obama's pick is non-traditional on several fronts. Not since James Garfield appointed James Blaine to head the State Department in 1881 has a president chosen a major political rival for the job. What's more, Clinton's grounding in women's rights contrasts with her predecessors, most of whom had pursued careers in academia, the military or law steeped in U.S. relations with major world powers.
The Obama transition office said Sunday that he would unveil his national security team today. Two Democratic sources with firsthand knowledge of the decision confirmed Clinton would be among those named. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak on the record.
Clinton is "a tough pragmatist who understands it's a dangerous world out there, who understands it can be necessary at times to use force and at other times to be able to back your diplomacy with the threat of force," says Martin Indyk, a former assistant secretary of State and ambassador to Israel who is close to Clinton.
"On the other hand, she has shown a very deep commitment to the causes of human rights, women's rights in particular, and the pursuit of peace and resolution of conflict."
When Clinton decided to run for the Senate in 2000, she launched her campaign with a "listening tour" to hear from New York voters. When she began her presidential campaign in 2007, she announced a similar "listening tour" through states with early primaries and caucuses.
It would be no surprise, then, if she chose to begin her tenure as secretary of State with a "listening tour" around the globe, especially to hear from allies in Europe and elsewhere who have complained about what they see as a penchant for unilateral action by the Bush administration.
She also has other ideas in her pocket.
During a trip last year to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Clinton met separately with then-Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, each of whom expressed suspicions of the other. She asked each if it would be helpful for the United States to appoint a special envoy to work with leaders of the two countries. They said yes.
On her return to Washington, she called White House national security adviser Stephen Hadley to pitch the idea, but to no avail. National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe says the White House did look into her suggestion but decided it wasn't feasible because the administration, while also working on tensions between Musharraf and Karzai, was focused on a governmental transition in Pakistan and the need to name a new U.N. representative for Afghanistan.
As secretary of State, Clinton would be in a position to put her ideas into action.
From bellicose to 'brilliant'
As they competed for the Democratic nomination, Clinton portrayed Obama as naive in his approach to rogue leaders around the world.
Obama, meanwhile, questioned her judgment in voting to authorize the Iraq war and cast her as unnecessarily bellicose toward Iran. He and his top aides — including Susan Rice, set to be named United Nations ambassador — mocked the idea that Clinton's work as first lady amounted to substantive experience.
Now, associates of both describe their differences on foreign policy as overblown in the heat of battle. They say Clinton's public campaigning for Obama during the general election and their private conversations in the four weeks since he won have helped mend fences and begin a budding partnership. Obama strategist David Axelrod now calls Clinton "able, tough, brilliant."
Even so, no appointment Obama has considered has generated as much chatter as the choice of the New York senator.
Some leaders of anti-war groups are dismayed that Obama, whose national ambitions were launched by his opposition to the invasion of Iraq, would give such a key role to someone who supported it.
"One of the ways in which he separated himself from Hillary Clinton during the primary season was to remind people that early on he was opposed to the war in Iraq, was opposed to her position, which was always quite supportive of war," says Leslie Cagan, national coordinator of United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of anti-war groups.
She calls the prospective nomination of Clinton "quite disappointing" but says the "real question" will be the policies Obama himself sets.
Then there are the potential complications of choosing the spouse of a former president who continues to pursue his own initiatives on AIDS and other issues around the world. Will foreign leaders assume Bill Clinton speaks for the White House? And what happens if he disagrees with a step the president and secretary of State decide to take?
The former president has agreed to take steps to minimize conflicts or the appearance of them, including submitting future speaking engagements and business dealings to the State Department or White House for approval. Under the arrangement, first reported by The New York Times Sunday, Clinton will release the names of more than 200,000 donors to his foundation.
The former president could prove to be an asset for the new administration. In an interview in October with Joe Klein of Time magazine, Obama said he had talked with Bill Clinton about the possibility of serving as a special envoy to ease tensions between India and Pakistan — a task that takes on special importance now.
Bill Clinton has been "foursquare" in favor of his wife's appointment, says Strobe Talbott, a former deputy secretary of State who has been a friend since they were Rhodes Scholars together. "I know his initial reaction to the idea was, 'She'd be great; (Obama's) smart to offer it.' …
"She obviously had to make some pretty basic decisions" whether to accept the job, Talbott says. "It's a major career change."
She has made those before.
Clinton was a Little Rock lawyer and activist on children's issues when her husband was governor of Arkansas. After he was elected president in 1992, she headed the task force charged with his signature domestic initiative, on health care.
The proposal she helped draft failed spectacularly, never coming to a vote on Capitol Hill and contributing to devastating Democratic setbacks in the congressional elections in 1994. Hillary Clinton, a political lightning rod in the United States, became increasingly engaged in global travels and programs.
"She was very interested in a combination of things that led her to get more active on foreign issues," recalls Madeleine Albright, who was U.N. ambassador in President Clinton's first term and secretary of State in his second. She and Hillary Clinton regularly met for lunch in Albright's private dining room at the State Department.
"She could see what her voice meant when she got involved in a particular issue," Albright says. "There were specific areas she got interested in — human rights and women's issues and international health issues — and then more and more that gave her the capability of understanding developments in those countries."
Eight years, 82 countries
During eight years in the White House, Hillary Clinton visited 82 countries. She met with dozens of foreign leaders including President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, president Ion Iliescu of Romania and prime minister Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan. (In her 2003 memoir, Living History, Clinton says Bhutto commiserated on their mutual challenges. "Women who take on tough issues and stake out new territory are often on the receiving end of ignorance," Bhutto told her.)
One of Clinton's most embarrassing missteps during this year's presidential campaign came when she exaggerated her experiences as first lady, giving audiences a vivid account of landing in Bosnia in 1996 under sniper fire. CBS footage of the trip — posted on YouTube this spring and viewed more than 2 million times since then — shows her and daughter Chelsea at a placid welcome ceremony on the airport tarmac, greeted by a young girl with a long braid.
Clinton's schedule abroad included hundreds of photo ops and sightseeing expeditions, but she also routinely held meetings on such substantive issues as the political empowerment of women, equal opportunities for girls and the availability of health care.
After a 1995 trip to India, Pakistan and other countries in South Asia, she delivered a presentation at the State Department of what she found that Talbott calls "stunning" in its analysis of the region's importance and its challenges. He says it laid the groundwork for President Clinton to visit India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in 2000.
On that trip and others, Hillary Clinton spotlighted the emergence of "microcredit" programs that offered small, unsecured loans to give the impoverished a path to self-sufficiency.
"When Hillary Clinton says something, the whole world listens," Mohammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank, told reporters after she sat down in the remote village of Moishahati with a group of Bangladeshi women who had benefited from the bank's microcredit loans.
After she was elected to the Senate in 2000, Clinton sought a seat on the Armed Services Committee, a step that would bolster her credentials as a potential commander-in-chief. Since then, she has regularly traveled abroad, making three trips each to Iraq and Afghanistan and two to Israel as well as visits to Pakistan, Kuwait, Canada and Europe.
Clinton remains determined to focus on such issues as maternal health and the education of girls. She argues there is a direct link between those "soft" issues and the stability of governments, and with that U.S. security interests.
"Typically, governments (including that of the U.S.) limit their foreign policies to diplomatic, military and trade issues, the staple of most treaties, pacts and negotiations," Clinton wrote in her memoir. "Yet it was clear to me that in the new global economy, individual countries and regions would find it difficult to make economic or social progress if a disproportionate percentage of their female population remained poor, uneducated, unhealthy and disenfranchised. …
"Issues affecting women and girls should not be dismissed as 'soft' or marginal but should be integrated fully into domestic and foreign policy decisions."
Still, it is on such traditional "hard" issues as authorizing the U.S. invasion of Iraq and dealing with the nuclear program in Iran that Clinton has clashed most with Obama. Those questions and others — including the perilous situation between India and Pakistan — will be among the new secretary of State's most pressing challenges.
"For the Obama administration, foreign policy is not going to be easy," says Lindsay, a former National Security Council aide. "Their inbox is filled with lots of intractable problems."

1. Whither stumble ye, sots, who have sopped up the wine of ignorance and can so far not carry it that ye already even spew it forth?
Stay ye, be sober, gaze upwards with the [true] eyes of the heart! And if ye cannot all, yet ye at least who can!
For that the ill of ignorance doth pour o`er all the earth and overwhelm the soul that's battened down within the body, preventing it from fetching port within Salvation's harbors.
2. Be ye then not carried off by the fierce flood, but using the shore-current <lit., "back-current" or "up-current">, ye who can, make for Salvation's port, and, harboring there, seek ye for one to take you by the hand and lead you unto Gnosis' gates.
Where shines clear Light, of every darkness clean; where not a single soul is drunk, but sober all they gaze with their hearts' eyes on Him who willeth to be seen.
No ear can hear Him, nor can eye see Him, nor tongue speak of Him, but [only] mind and heart.
But first thou must tear off from thee the cloak which thou dost wear - the web of ignorance, the ground of bad, corruption's chain, the carapace of darkness, the living death, sensation's corpse, the tomb thou carriest with thee, the robber in thy house, who through the things he loveth, hateth thee, and through the things he hateth, bears thee malice.
3. Such is the hateful cloak thou wearest - that throttles thee [and holds thee] down to it, in order that thou may'st not gaze above, and having seen the Beauty of the Truth, and Good that dwells therein, detest the bad of it; having found out the plot that it hath schemed against thee, by making void of sense those seeming things which men think senses.
For that it hath with mass of matter blocked them up and crammed them full of loathsome lust, so that thou may'st not hear about the things that thou should'st hear, nor see the things thou should'st see.

Full-Body Circuit Workout From Equinox Trainer
Torch Calories and Tone With This Circuit Workout
What's not to love about circuit training? Combining heart-pumping elements of cardio with strength-training moves means you torch calories while toning muscles. It's just so efficient.
Here's a fun yet challenging circuit workout from Equinox trainer Lauren Fairbanks. Have a stopwatch handy for this one since you perform each exercise for 60 seconds. Don't be daunted by the time — you can do anything for a minute. Plus, it's nice to have the luxury of not needing to count all those reps.
Get the details of this circuit after the break.
Instructions: Do each exercise for one minute. Work through the first circuit three times, and rest for one to two minutes between each round. Rest and stretch for three minutes before starting second circuit, which you also repeat for a total of three times. Try to complete this workout in 45 minutes or less.
For this workout you will need: an exercise ball, a five-kilogram (around 10-pound) medicine ball, and 10-pound dumbbells.
Circuit One
|Alternating backward lunge holding medicine ball overhead
|Glutes, core, shoulders
|Five-kilogram medicine ball
|Holding weight above your head forces your core to work harder.
|Chest press on exercise ball
|Chest, core, glutes
|Exercise ball, 10-pound dumbbells
|Make sure your neck and head are supported by the exercise ball; keep pressing your pelvis toward the ceiling by squeezing your glutes.

| 13.8°C Belfast
French-language drama Amour was named the year's best film by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, whose prizes are among a flurry of year-end honours that help focus the Academy Awards race.
Among the group's other honours, 1950s cult drama The Master earned four awards: best director for Paul Thomas Anderson, best actor for Joaquin Phoenix, supporting actress for Amy Adams and production design for David Crank and Jack Fisk.
The Master was also chosen as best picture runner-up. The film stars Phoenix as a volatile Second World War veteran who comes under the sway of a charismatic cult leader. Adams co-stars as the cult leader's tough-minded wife.
Amour star Emmanuelle Riva, who plays an elderly, ailing woman being cared for by her husband, shared the best actress honour in a tie with Jennifer Lawrence of the lost soul romance Silver Linings Playbook.
Newcomer Dwight Henry was chosen as supporting actor for the low-budget critical darling Beasts Of The Southern Wild. The film's writer-director, Benh Zeitlin, received the group's New Generation Award and shared the prize for best music score with composing partner Dan Romer.
Directed by Michael Haneke, Amour is Austria's entry for the foreign language Oscar and won the top honour at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
The choice by the Los Angeles critics marked a move away from bigger Hollywood productions that the group favoured the last two years when it named George Clooney's The Descendants as the best film of 2011 and David Fincher's The Social Network as tops for 2010.
The critics' picks came days after both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review chose Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden manhunt docudrama Zero Dark Thirty as the year's best film.
Shut out at the Los Angeles critics honours was Steven Spielberg's Civil War epic Lincoln.

Demonstrators Smash Google Bus Piñata in San Francisco
San Francisco's corporate shuttle buses — the enormous buildings-on-wheels that ferry workers between popular neighborhoods and technology companies south of the City — are easy to hate for local residents who are pissed about skyrocketing rent and snooty coffeeshop infestations.
While the shuttle buses might take cars off the road, they've become a grating symbol of cushy excess for everyone else sharing the neighborhood.
So a piñata in the shape of a Google shuttle bus was the object on which some protesters exerted their aggressions this weekend at an "anti-gentrification block party" in the Mission District (actually, from the pictures, it looks like there were multiple piñatas).
But anger against shuttle buses wasn't exactly a huge draw; as you can see in the video below, posted on local blog SFist, the police presence was total overkill for the actual demonstration:

In Their Own Words
"You know the perception people have of rock guitarists—gunslingers and drug addicts. If there's one issue I get evangelical about, it's when I hear a lot of words from well-known rock players who say, 'Don't practice, be a rebel. Studying the instrument is bad for your creativity.' The mentality is that if you're too technically proficient, you're not rock 'n' roll; I'm not sure if I agree. My feeling is that it's possible to be a studied musician and maintain that primal energy—it's just not easy. I personally love players like Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Steve Morse, and Eddie Van Halen, the ones who can speak to my soul and challenge my intellect at the same time."

The walk itself took us out of Torquay and along part of the coastal path, it is not quite 4 miles with a number of steps and some rough ground - my Mum who was with me is 73 and managed easily but would definitely recommend a walking pole
I am very familiar with Torquay but doing this walk definitely opened my eyes to its charm and beauty
I believe this is one of a number of tours and would 100% recommend it, I will be making a return trip to try the others

Fla. teen's killer said he was 'victor' and 'victim'
Michael Dunn told his fiancee a month after he shot and killed a black teenager in Florida that he was both "the victor" and "the victim," according to a phone call from jail.
"I'm the (expletive) victim here, I was the one who was victimized," Dunn told Rhonda Roue in December 2012, about three weeks after he fired 10 rounds into a Dodge Durango following an argument over loud music, killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis. "I mean, I don't know how else to cut it, like, they attacked me, I'm the victim. I'm the victor, but I was the victim, too."
Jurors Saturday night convicted the 47-year-old software developer of three counts of attempted murder and one count of shooting or throwing deadly missiles, but deadlocked on first-degree murder. A mistrial was declared on the murder charge.
Dunn, of South Patrick Shores, Fla., faces at least 60 years in prison, and his attorney said he would appeal. State Attorney Angela Corey said she would seek a retrial on the murder charge.
Corey's office on Monday released audio of nine calls from the Duval County jail in November and December 2012, all with Roue or his parents.
Dunn testified he fired in self-defense after one of the four teens in the SUV parked at a gas station displayed what he thought was the barrel of a shotgun and threatened to kill him. No weapon was found in their vehicle and no witnesses reported seeing any of the teens with one.
"I somehow insulted these boys by asking them to turn their radio down, and for that they were going to kill me," he said during one call. "It's absurd that they were going to do that."
A letter he wrote describing the shooting was also released.
"Between fear, adrenaline and muscle-memory, I grabbed my pistol from the glove box," he wrote. "As I was doing so, I shouted, 'You're not going to kill me, you son of a (expletive)!'"

New York City woman, vacationing alone in Turkey, discovered dead
ISTANBUL -- A New York City woman who went missing while vacationing alone in Istanbul was found dead on Saturday and police detained nine people for questioning in connection with her case, Turkey's state-run news agency said.
Sarai Sierra, a 33-year-old mother of two, was last heard from on Jan. 21, the day she was due to board her flight back home. Her disappearance attracted a lot of interest in Turkey, where such disappearance of foreign tourists are rare and Istanbul police had set up a special unit to find her.
The Anadolu Agency said the body of a woman was discovered Saturday evening near the remnants of ancient city walls and that police later identified it as Sierra's.
The agency did not say what caused her death. The private NTV television reported that she was stabbed to death, while a private news agency, Dogan, said she had a wound to the head, suggesting she may have been hit by an object.
Police reached by The Associated Press refused to comment on the case.
Sierra, whose children are 9 and 11, had left for Istanbul on Jan. 7 to explore her photography hobby and made a side trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Munich, Germany. She had originally planned to make the trip with a friend, but ended up travelling alone when her friend canceled.
She was in regular contact with friend and family and was last in touch with her family on Jan. 21, the day she was due back in New York. She told them she would visit Galata Bridge, which spans the Golden Horn waterway, to take photos.
The location where the body was found, is a few kilometers away the bridge. It is near a major road that runs alongside the sea of Marmara and offers an iconic view to visitors of dozens of tankers and other vessels waiting to access the Bosporus strait. Police stopped traffic on the road as forensic police inspected the area.
Anadolu suggested Sierra may have been killed at another location and that her body may have been brought to the site to be hidden amid the city walls.
At least nine people were detained for questioning in Istanbul over the arrests and a police official on the site told journalists two of them were women. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters on the case.
It was not clear if a Turkish man Sierra had exchanged messages with during her stay in Istanbul was among the group that was detained. That man was detained for questioning on Friday but was later released. Turkish news reports had said Sierra had made arrangements to meet the man on Galata Bridge but the man reportedly told police the meeting never took place.
Sierra's husband, Steven, and brother, David Jimenez, travelled to Istanbul to help in the search. Sierra's mother, Betzaida Jimenez, said she couldn't talk when reached in New York.
Shortly after she was reported missing, Turkey set up a special police unit which scanned through hours of security camera footage in downtown Istanbul in search of clues over her disappearance. A Turkish missing persons association had joined the search, handing out flyers with photos of Sierra and urging anyone with information to call police.
While break-ins and petty thievery is common in Istanbul, the vast and crowded city is considered relatively safe in comparison to other major urban centers. The American's death was unlikely to have a significant impact on tourism, an increasingly large component of the Turkish economy.
In 2008, an Italian artist Pippa Bacca, was raped and killed while hitchhiking to Israel wearing a wedding dress to plead for peace. Her naked body was found in a forest in northwest Turkey. A Turkish man was sentenced to life in prison for the attack.

Vairocana (also Vairochana or Mahāvairocana, Sanskrit: वैरोचन) is a celestial buddha who is often interpreted, in texts like the Flower Garland Sutra, as the Dharma Body[1][2] of the historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama). In Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Buddhism, Vairocana is also seen as the embodiment of the Buddhist concept of Emptiness. In the conception of the Five Wisdom Buddhas of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, Vairocana is at the centre and is considered a Primordial Buddha.
Vairocana is not to be confused with Vairocana Mahabali, son of Virochana.

History of devotion
Vairocana Buddha is first introduced in the Brahma Net Sutra:[3]
Now, I, Vairocana Buddha am sitting atop a lotus pedestal; On a thousand flowers surrounding me are a thousand Sakyamuni Buddhas. Each flower supports a hundred million worlds; in each world a Sakyamuni Buddha appears. All are seated beneath a Bodhi-tree, all simultaneously attain Buddhahood. All these innumerable Buddhas have Vairocana as their original body.
He is also mentioned in the Flower Garland Sutra; however, the doctrine of Vairocana Buddha is based largely on the teachings of the Mahavairocana Sutra (also known as the Mahāvairocana-abhisaṃbodhi-tantra) and to a lesser degree the Vajrasekhara Sutra (also known as the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha Tantra).
He is also mentioned as an epithet of the Buddha Śakyamuni in the Sutra of Meditation on the Bodhisattva Universal Virtue, who dwells in a place called "Always Tranquil Light".[4]
Vairocana is the Primordial Buddha in the Chinese schools of Tiantai and Hua-Yen Buddhism, also appearing in later schools including the Japanese Kegon, Shingon and esoteric lineages of Tendai. In the case of Shingon and Hua-Yen schools, Vairocana is the central figure.
In Sino-Japanese Buddhism, Vairocana was gradually superseded as an object of reverence by Amitabha Buddha, due in large part to the increasing popularity of Pure Land Buddhism, but Vairocana's legacy still remains in the Tōdai-ji temple with its massive bronze statue and in Shingon Buddhism, which holds a sizeable minority among Japanese Buddhists.
During the initial stages of his mission in Japan, the Catholic missionary Francis Xavier was welcomed by the Shingon monks since he used Dainichi, the Japanese name for Vairocana, to designate the Christian God. As Xavier learned more about the religious nuances of the word, he substituted the term Deusu, which he derived from the Latin and Portuguese Deus.
The Shingon Buddhist monk, Dohan, regarded the two great Buddhas, Amida and Vairocana, as one and the same Dharmakaya Buddha and as the true nature at the core of all beings and phenomena. There are several realisations that can accrue to the Shingon practitioner of which Dohan speaks in this connection, as James Sanford points out: "there is the realisation that Amida is the Dharmakaya Buddha, Vairocana; then there is the realisation that Amida as Vairocana is eternally manifest within this universe of time and space; and finally there is the innermost realisation that Amida is the true nature, material and spiritual, of all beings, that he is 'the omnivalent wisdom-body, that he is the unborn, unmanifest, unchanging reality that rests quietly at the core of all phenomena".[5]
Helen Hardacre, writing on the Mahavairocana Sutra, comments that Mahavairocana's virtues are deemed to be immanently universal within all beings: 'The principle doctrine of the Dainichikyo is that all the virtues of Dainichi (Mahavairocana) are inherent in us and in all sentient beings.'[6]
With regard to Emptiness, the massive size and brilliance of Vairocana statues serve as a reminder that all conditioned existence is empty and without a permanent identity.
The Vairocana statue in Nara's Tōdai-ji in Japan was the largest bronze image of Vairocana Buddha in the world. The larger of the monumental statues that were destroyed at Bamyan in Afghanistan was also a depiction of Vairocana. In Java, Indonesia, the 9th-century Mendut temple near Borobudur in Magelang was dedicated to Dhyani Buddha Vairocana. Built by the Sailendra dynasty, the temple featured a three-meter tall stone statue of Dhyani Buddha Vairocana, seated and performing the Dharmachakra mudra. The statue is flanked with statues of Boddhisatva Avalokitesvara and Boddhisatva Vajrapani.
The Spring Temple Buddha of Lushan County, Henan, China, with a height of 126 meters, is now the tallest Vairocana Buddha statue, as well as the tallest statue in the world (see List of statues by height).

Suspect caught after setting fire to neighbor's house for not mowing lawn | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
CARTERSVILLE, Ga. -- The Bartow County man accused of burning down a neighbor's house Wednesday morning has been captured.
Phillip Roger Bennett, 58, was taken into custody Thursday by U.S. Marshals in Murphy, N.C. He has since been returned to Georgia.
Cartersville Police Capt. Mark Camp said the suspect faces nearly a dozen charges, including arson, aggravated assault, criminal property damage, cruelty to children, second-degree burglary, reckless conduct, criminal trespass and terroristic threats.
Bennett suffered burns to his hands and arms during the incident and was admitted to the burn unit at Grady Memorial Hospital, where he would stay until Friday.
Camp said on Friday that Bennet would be taken from Grady to the Bartow County Jail that afternoon.
Police are also talking with the Bartow County District Attorney about whether Bennett can be charged with attempted murder. They insist Bennett knew Corbitt and his 3-year-old daughter were inside the home when he allegedly set it on fire, frustrated the family had failed to mow their lawn.
"He kicks my door, tells me I've got five seconds to come outside. I turn around and call 911. And while I'm on the phone he comes back with two gas cans in his hand. He walks up to my kitchen door again, takes a gas can, smashes it against the glass, breaks the first pane," Corbitt told 11Alive News.
He continued, "Then he turns around and grabs a brick, throws it through the window. And then he grabs a gas can and starts pouring it into the kitchen. And as he's pouring he takes his lighter and lights it. And flames were everywhere. I ran back to my little girl's room, grabbed her, ran out the back door over to my neighbor's and watched the house burn."
"The mean man burned my house," said 3-year-old Kylie as Marty held her in his arms outside their burned shell of a house.
Court and prison records show Bennett has had a history of violence. He served time for voluntary manslaughter, after killing someone in Cobb County.
While in prison, Bennett was convicted of aggravated assault for attacking an inmate with a shovel, ripping off the man's nose.
Corbitt says he and his family have lived in the house, which belongs to his grandmother, for about four years.
Bennett moved into the neighborhood after his release from prison in 2010. Corbitt says he helped him move in and was aware of his criminal background.
The Corbitts are staying with relatives.
