City of the Future
Perth, once an Australian backwater, is now at the vanguard of cool, with cutting-edge art, miles of stunning beaches, and a culture that's both relaxed and impatient for the future.
Situated beside the Swan River, Perth is a magical place to explore. Start in Kings Park on Mount Eliza for the best views and an enchanting treetop walk. To indulge in some retail therapy, visit the high-end fashion boutiques of King Street. Art lovers will want to get acquainted with the center of Perth's art scene—the Art Gallery of Western Australia which features the best collection of Aboriginal art in the country.
You can't miss the historic port of Fremantle with its prison & shipwreck galleries. And just north of Perth lies Swan Valley, Western Australia's oldest wine region. Handpick a bottle or two from one of the state-of-the-art boutique wineries.
In the evening, do as Prince Charles has done and have a beach barbie on Cottelsloe Beach with a Pink Ruby Swizzle. Then watch the sun sizzle as it sinks into the waters of the Indian Ocean.

An international soccer goalkeeping academy based in England has selected Palm Coast as the site for a summer residential training camp in a coup for the city and the local FC United of Florida youth soccer organization.
PALM COAST — An international soccer goalkeeping academy based in England has selected Palm Coast as the site for a summer residential training camp in a coup for the city and the local FC United of Florida youth soccer organization.
The selection of the Indian Trails Sports Complex as the site for the Just4Keepers International Goal Keeping Academy camp July 22 through 25 was announced by city officials this week. The academy, founded in 1999 by Ray Newland, a former goalie for Everton of England's Premier League, is also seriously considering Palm Coast as the site for a permanent base for its U.S. operations.
Just4Keepers, or J4K, picked Palm Coast for its national residential camp after Newland met with city leaders and Rich Weber, vice president of programming for FC United. Newland and Weber discussed the idea during the 2012 National Soccer Coaches Association conference in Indianapolis and Weber invited him to see what Palm Coast had to offer.
Weber, who is also head coach of the boys' soccer team at Matanzas High School, said that about 40 to 50 youngsters ages 10 to 18, boys and girls, are likely to attend the national J4K camp. It's not envisioned as a one-shot deal and as the project develops, it may expand opportunities for collegiate soccer goalkeepers thinking about a professional playing career.
Although the proposal finally came together with Newland this winter, Weber describes it as something he has been growing for some time.
"Palm Coast essentially becomes the gateway feeder program into the J4K International Academy," Weber said in an email. "It is a very big deal and we are excited about the opportunities for players."
J4K will have six regional camps in the next few months, including one June 17 and 18 at Indian Trails Complex where youth and high school-age players will be evaluated and then invited to the national training camp. Other regional campsites are in Denver, Fort Lauderdale, East Brunswick, N.J., Warminster Pa., Wilson, N.C., and Rochester N.Y., in the two month run-up to the national camp.
The top players at the July national camp will be invited to England to participate in the Just4Keepers Academy, an invitation Newland says often leads to offers of a professional contract.
While in Palm Coast, Newland met with local officials including Mayor Jon Netts and City Manager Jim Landon to discuss forging a partnership. That agreement came to fruition and includes Flagler County Department of Economic Opportunity, the Flagler County Tourist Development Council, the Palm Coast Sports Alliance and FC United of Florida as partners.
Newland said he did not know the area before Weber convinced him to visit in January.
"I fell in love with the place and thought it would be a great place to bring my family," he said in an email from his home in England.
Newland also said he expects the U.S. operation to quickly attract a lot of attention.
"Our success worldwide speaks for itself and what we do in J4K is unique to any other goalkeeper school globally," he said. "I believe, like our other goalkeeper coaching schools around the world, our limited places in the USA will get full."
Just4Keepers is described as the only training academy of its kind specifically targeting a position in soccer requiring a unique skill set.
The academy operates in 18 countries on five continents and trains thousands of young goalkeepers to help them nurture the dream of a professional playing career.
Netts said the city "is incredibly excited" to welcome the J4K camp.
"We've worked hard over the past three years to develop Palm Coast as the premiere location for youth soccer in the Southeast and Just4Keepers is the perfect fit for our goal to attract sports tournaments as part of the City's Economic Prosperity 2021 economic development efforts," Netts said.
Georgia Turner, vice president for tourism development at the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce & Affiliates, said the move by J4K will be a boon to overall tourist development efforts.
"The more sports planners see you can handle an event like this, it has a snowball effect," she said. "This is the kind of thing we use to be able to tell people what we can do here in Flagler County as far as sports go."
Palm Coast is already a hotbed for youth-based soccer tournaments and camps. The city recently was host to the Olympic Development Program in January and Indian Trails was the site for the Florida Youth Soccer Association's Region B championships this month. Coming up in late April is the FYSA State Cup Round of 16 for four different age groups.

A smoothie is my favorite way to get a ton of fruits and veggies in one go. It may seem weird to you at first (yuck, greens for breakfast!?!) but give it a try, I promise you won't taste the greens.
1 frozen banana (gotta be frozen to get that creamy consistency..make sure to peel it before you freeze it! Slicing it before freezing will make it easier on your blender..)
1 cup berries, fresh or frozen.
2 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup 100% orange juice
1 cup soymilk (or any other non-dairy milk)
Stick it all in the blender and enjoy!

I recently had the opportunity to attend a great conference called 'Sentralized' in Olathe, KS a few weeks back that focused what it looks like for the Church to be a missional people. There were several speakers at the conference that I learned a great deal from. One of the main speakers, Michael Frost, challenged people to 'listen to the heartbeat of your city' in order to find out how to be the hands and feet of Christ to them. He went on to say that we must really know the inhabitants of our community in order to effectively minister to them and we must listen to their cries.
Here is my issue. I understand what Michael Frost was getting at. I understand the necessity of having listening ears and sensitive hearts in order to properly and effectively do the work of the Kingdom in our communities. You don't start an 'Obesity Recovery Club' in a village that is full of people who are starving nor do you offer English speaking classes for Japanese people in a town that is 70% Caucasian and 30% Spanish. Listening with a prayerful heart is essential.
But what if the greatest desires, wants, and 'needs' of my community is a flat-screen to replace their 'old tv' from 2005? What if what people desire most is a better car than the one they already have now? A job that pays better so they can afford to go out to eat more and to support an excessive lifestyle? Someone to repave their driveway so it looks as good as they neighbors new driveway across the street?
I hope my point is coming across. What does ministry look like to a community and a people (adults and youth alike) whose greatest desire is to get more and have more than what they already have? What does ministry look like to those who have been fully baptized into a lifestyle of consumption, comfort, and getting everything we want?
Before I go on, I thank God that I was not struck dead as I typed those last words. I see the signs of consumerism in my own heart on a daily basis and I must bring that before the Lord in repentance regularly. I do not write as one who has 'arrived' but as one who sees the the stains of consumption in my own heart and life.
Alan Hirsch makes a great point in his book 'The Forgotten Ways' by saying the greatest obstacle in the Western Church when it comes to following Jesus is not Islam, Eastern Religions, New Age Spirituality, or whatnot. Instead, the greatest obstacle is consumerism: the belief and desire that life is all about doing me and getting mine. Consumerism preaches instant gratification and immediate results whereas the way of Jesus is found in pouring one's life out in servant love to one's brother and sister. It is in the daily surrendering of one's own selfishness and asking God to renew our hearts to look more like that of our Lords. It is the complete opposite of the consumer mindset. The text that continually comes to mind is the descent of our Lord spoken of in Philippians 2. We serve one who being in the very nature God made himself nothing (2:5-11). When God's people embrace the way of Jesus and the way of the servant, we begin to loosen the entangling strands of consumerism upon our lives.
So, what does ministry look like to those who have become entrapped in the ideology of consumerism?

The world's new Pope: His voice is very much neededEDITORIAL
March 16. 2013 2:30AM
The world has a new Pope. This is no small thing, but not for some of the reasons much of the U.S. news media seem to think.
It is a big deal because the world - Catholic, Christian, and non-Christian alike - still needs a Pope. It needs one, in fact, more than ever.
The world, for all its successes, is in a bad way in many respects.
The disrespect for human life is rampant. Crimes against children, including of a sordid sexual nature (some committed by the church's own priests), underscore that disrespect.
Evil exists, as it always has and always will. But so does good. And voices for good - courageous voices, God-fearing voices - must rise above the din to preach God's word and to live it by example. It seems that new Pope Francis is such a voice.
The TV talking heads will soon focus on other things of the moment, and they will only return to the new pontiff when he reiterates some part of Christ's teachings that they find less than "progressive." But this will not deter him, nor should it discourage people from paying attention to him.
The loudest sound emanating from St. Peter's Square last Wednesday evening was not the roar of approval when the white smoke was spotted. It was the silence that followed this humble man's first action as Holy Father. It was not to offer a prayer for the people but a request that the people pray for him. They did. And we all should.

Dr. Daniel Huppmann studied Mathematics at the Vienna University of Technology, where he earned an MSc degree in 2010. He joined the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) as a student research assistant in 2008, started in DIW's graduate (PhD) program in October 2011 and successfully defended his dissertation at the TU Berlin in June 2014. He is currently a Research Associate in the department Energy-Transportation-Environment at DIW Berlin. In his research, Daniel works at the intersection of Operations Research, game theory, and energy economics, with a focus on multi-stage games in the global crude oil and natural gas markets, and strategic investment in electricity networks.
Modeling Strategic Behavior in Global Energy Markets- the Role of OPEC and the Impact of US Climate Policy (abstract)
The first part of the talk focuses on the global crude oil market, in particular the role of OPEC, and the difficulty of properly capturing strategic behavior in real-world applications using equilibrium modeling. This article proposes a two-stage oligopoly model: in a game of several Stackelberg leaders, market power increases endogenously as the spare capacity of the competitive fringe goes down. This effect is due to the specific cost function characteristics of extractive industries. The model captures the increase of OPEC market power before the financial crisis and its drastic reduction in the subsequent turmoil at the onset of the global recession.The two-stage model better replicates the price path over the years 2003-2011 compared to a standard simultaneous-move, one-stage Nash-Cournot model with a fringe. This article also discusses how most large-scale numerical equilibrium models, widely applied in the energy sector, over-simplify and potentially misinterpret market power exertion.
The second part of the talk presents a large-scale global dynamic energy system and resource market equilibrium model ("MultiMod"). It combines endogenous fuel substitution within demand sectors and in power generation, detailed infrastructure capacity constraints and investment, as well as strategic behavior and market power aspects by suppliers in a unified framework. This model is the first-of-its-kind in which market power is exerted across several fuels. It bridges the divide between energy system models, focusing on fuel substitution and technology options, and sector specific models that have a detailed representation of infrastructure constraints and are able to capture strategic behavior. The model allows assessing and quantifying the impact of national or global climate policy and emission reduction targets on the global energy mix over the next decades. In the talk, Daniel will present current results from the Energy Modeling Forum, Round 31 ("North American Natural Gas and Energy Markets in Transition"), focusing on the impact of US shale gas scenarios and domestic energy policy (such as Technology Portfolio Standards) on global energy consumption patterns and the resulting import dependency and trade flows.

Ringo has become a very unique character for me.
It's rare for a character to run so hot-and-cold for me like her's has.
Some episodes I absolutely love her, other episodes I can barely stand her.
On the whole, though, I think its great that MPD had a character that can have such a strong emotional effect on me like she can.
My overall take on Ringo is that she's a good person at heart, but she's deeply delusional. Episode 10, in particular, supports that I think, with how profusely apologetic and contrite she was in that episode.
I have to admit that Ringo does seem to be slowly gravitating towards a romance with Shouma. There's no doubt that Shouma has become a very important person to her. And I don't think it's one-sided either, unlike her and Tabuki.
I hope that we get to see Ringo recapture her "yandere energy", for lack of a better term, and channel that in a different and more productive direction. If so, she may become a very cool protagonist, imo.

Since they downplayed Shouma's injuries this episode, I think that he's going to be out of the hospital come Episode 11.
What I think will happen is that Ringo is going to re-lapse out of a sense of desperation, and Shouma is going to try to talk her out of it. This time she's probably not going to be able to brush it off so easily, as he's now the guy who might have saved her life.
I think it could be a very intense and touching scene, maybe even on the level of a Key work (Archon knows what I mean by that ).
I think we're going to see Ringo emotionally break down a bit in Episode 11. I know I've been predicting that for awhile now, but Episode 10 helps that prediction I think, in how it shows how emotionally conflicted Ringo now is (as opposed to simply being obsessed in one direction and one direction alone).
In any event, I expect Episode 11 to be a watershed moment for Ringo's character. Either its a total re-lapse into insanity and she's never coming out of it, or Shouma gets through to her for good. That's my speculation anyway.

Okay I have been thinking of Ringo and the label of Yandere. This definitely describes her relationship with Tabuki
But wouldn't you say that she also displays classic Tsundere traits with Shouma. I mean she treats him pretty badly like she doesn't care but when he is hurt she shows she does care very much (at least as a friend, for now).
It is suddenly interesting to me that Ringo has both these characteristics.
Of course I hate to label characters and I do think there is a lot more to Ringo. Despite Ringo's negative actions from early on I couldn't help emphasizing with her seeing what her family situation is like. And I am glad Ringo was able to show her softer side in the latest episode.
I am still worried about her with what happens in the opening sequence though.

She thankfully doesn't have that stuttering "I-It's not because I l-like you or anything!" thing going on, but other than that, yeah, pretty tsundere-esque.
A character that's yandere for one character, and tsundere for a different character, is indeed pretty interesting.

i've also picked up on how she's been treating sho. i definitely think she's been neglected/ignored quite a bit and having somebody save her life definitely skewed her self-perception.

this character is sort of my guilty pleasure. I can't help but lol when she gets crushed time and time again (I guess that makes me a bad person?). Also the fact that most of her prophesy sort of come true but in the most depressing/messed up ways. The best part of all is her delusional "DESTINIIIIIII" chants every now and then.
Then there is the whole mystery with her sister momoko and how she has to get with the teacher to maintain the family. This doesn't really make sense as the details haven't been revealed but then again a lot things have been kept secret from the audience.

I only start to like her after seeing how she acts quite reservedly and friendly along with Himari. That's when i realised: "Hmm, this girl could also be adorable when she's not haunted by that idea of fate". And then right away, she just bashed through any of her barrier blocking her way. A kind of gap mode...

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I've seen a girl's spirit get crushed this badly in an anime. That scene where she brings her home made curry to her Itagaki's house only to see that another woman open the door - wow that's just cruel.
Time and time again the evidence is pointing to the opposite, that she isn't meant to be with Itagaki but yet she persists in believing that destiny will bring them together. This is actually the very definition of delusional.
it seems like she probably won't end up with Itagaki. She even confessed that it was vitally important to be with him to maintain the stability of her own family and this was of primary importance next to her own family. That's to say that she does love him but these feelings are not as important as keeping her family together. This whole thing foreshadows that she will end up with someone else - probably Shouma.

So far probably my favorite character in the anime. Love how she goes all the way to fulfill her mission. Though it's still pretty obscure why she went that far, following some highly suspicious diary instructions, she gets all my respect.
But now that she has lost said diary I wonder what will be her role in the serie. She is already close to Shouma and if the author wants to pair them together he has done a good job to make it happens but... that's it? I was hoping she would cling on the diary longer and fight for it :/.
Hopefully she gets after it and her role won't be limited to become a good and reasonable *cof*boring*cof* girl, independently to how her relation with Shouma or anyone else goes.

After just watching an episode of Hanasaku Iroha, it occurred to me that Ikuhara could easily turn Ringo into an Ohana-esque character if he decides to have Ringo become less delusional.
Not sure if you're watching Hanasaku Iroha or not, but for those who are, I'm curious what they think of my observation here.

Ringo is not happy that you dared to compare her to that cliche-ridden, moe phenomena-riding, bundle of super over-enthusiasm, gag-inducingly sweet, poster-child of a girl on a never-ending sugar-high who just needs a good spanking. That is, if Ringo cared what other people thought.
Luckily for us, Ringo doesn't, as she fearlessly plows ahead without caring about sucking up to some Otaku perversion in order to sell some panty-shot figurines down the road. Yay!
On a more serious note. I do hope Ringo doesn't end up with Sho. A girl doesn't always have to shack up with hero B to fulfill themselves you know. In fact, I'd be highly suspect of the long-term validity of any relationship borne out of the crucible of stress that I'm sure this plot will punish our protagonists through. It's very easy for individuals to gloss over their incompatibilities when under duress. Then when things calm down, viola! 60% divorce rate! ;p Can't we just be happy if she manages to loose her psychopathy by the end and move on to live a normal life where she may meet some great guy somewhere down the road in a more organic manner? :/

I am a total Ringo and Shouma shipper. I think they are perfect for each other.
Shouma calms Ringo down. And did you see how Ringo took on the Penguin Queen. Shouma needs a woman like that in his life. She'll protect him. Well actually they will protect each other.
And I love both characters!

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Representatives of the Congolese government and the M23 rebels signed a preliminary agreement in which both parties accepted responsibility for the failure of an earlier peace deal, a Ugandan mediator said Wednesday, praising both parties as highly committed to the peace talks.
Crispus Kiyonga, the Ugandan minister who is mediating the talks, told reporters that the agreement Wednesday was a breakthrough reached "in the spirit of reconciliation."
Kiyonga said each camp was aware of its contribution to the failure of the March 23, 2009 agreement between the Congolese government and a now-defunct group known as CNDP, a precursor to M23.
M23 is made up of hundreds of soldiers who deserted the Congolese army last April after accusing the government of failing to respect the terms of the 2009 peace deal, which incorporated them into the national army. They are mostly from the Tutsi ethnic group that was targeted for extermination during the 1994 Rwanda genocide. The rebels are widely believed to be backed by Rwanda, which denies the allegation.
Since December the rebels and the Congolese government have been negotiating in the Ugandan capital Kampala under the banner of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, a regional bloc of which both Congo and Rwanda are members. The talks got off to a rocky start, with both parties trading accusations over who was responsible for violence in eastern Congo.
Kiyonga said the agreement reached Wednesday was significant because it established the goodwill necessary for the talks to continue. According to a review of the failed peace deal conducted by the rebels and the Congolese government, he said, 23 provisions of the agreement were either fully or partially respected while 12 were "either poorly implemented or not implemented at all."
Kiyonga said the rebels themselves had violated a provision of that agreement which stated that any disputes were to be resolved through "political means" not militarily. He said both parties view the 2009 agreement as a document that is "still relevant. Accordingly, it is recommended that a monitoring and evaluation mechanism be established."
Last November M23 rebels seized Goma, the biggest city in eastern Congo and a key trading post, but then withdrew under international pressure.
Human Rights Watch said Tuesday that Congolese government soldiers and M23 rebels "raped scores of women and committed other war crimes during the rebels' occupation of Goma," a city of 1 million people. The rights group said it wanted those responsible for the violence to be taken to court.
"Ongoing talks among parties to the conflict, countries in the region, and the United Nations should ensure that any agreements include holding those responsible for war crimes to account and that rebel commanders with abusive records do not serve in the Congolese army," the rights group said in a statement.

College police sergeant accused of attacking co-worker
College police sergeant accused of attacking co-worker
WORCESTER, Mass. —
A college campus police sergeant was arrested Thursday, accused of attacking a female co-worker, the Telegram & Gazette reported.
Mark Brooks is a police sergeant at Quinsigamond Community College in Worcester.
A 32-year-old female officer with the campus police department said Brooks pepper sprayed her in the face, according to State Police reports obtained by the Telegram & Gazette.
The female officer told investigators her sergeant threw her off of a wall, onto a sidewalk, tried to strangle her and prevented her from calling for help with her cell phone or two-way radio.
The Telegram & Gazette reported the attack occurred after the female officer was writing a report about a suspicious vehicle found on campus.


text: Abstract: One of the more exasperating features of orbital-based electronic structure calculations is that correlated wave functions involve many terms. This requires considerable storage in a computer, and inhibits, or at least makes very intricate, parallel implementations of large coupled-cluster or configuration interaction (CI) calculations because of the data motion necessitated. At the same time, the information carried in such wave functions involves considerable redundancy, and we have begun to explore how techniques for data compression can be employed to analyze this redundancy, and perhaps to lead not only to a very compact representation of correlated wave functions, but also to improved parallelism and performance by greatly reducing or even eliminating data motion. In this talk I will give a very general overview of our approach so far, illustrating it with several examples of full CI calculations, and linking it to other approaches. Although our experience is preliminary, the approach shows considerable promise.

Tracing activities develop a child control of the small muscles of the hands (fine motor skills) improving hand/eye coordination. Learning shapes and colors allows children to group or classify items -- children develop their ability to make logical connections -- a precursor to both math and language arts.
We are in mid-September and my five-year-old has started kindergarten. So far I have felt as though I am shouting in the wilderness when mentioning the thought of slowing things down. We have a girl who wakes up a 3 AM, thinking about school and all that can go wrong. There are new pressures for all of us, but, looking around, I don't think we are in this wilderness alone.
If an aspect of a project is frustrating to the child, provide assistance - try to keep things fun. Sing songs, read stories or watch shows with a similar theme as the worksheet you choose to supplement the project - again focusing on extra activities that the child enjoys to help keep them motivated.

Sandown chief can't be sued by ex-sergeant over name on list of cops with credibility issues
BRENTWOOD — Former Sandown police Sgt. Scott Wood has filed a lawsuit against Police Chief Joseph Gordon, claiming that he was inappropriately placed on the state's so-called Laurie List.
But the chief's attorney said Gordon received information that Wood had been "routinely falsifying police records — that he in fact had been making up from 'whole cloth' supposed car stops, and entering information about those stops into the police computer system in order to pad his statistics."
Wood, a six-year veteran with the Sandown police department, left his position last Aug. 17 claiming he had a personality conflict with Gordon.
Wood filed a lawsuit in Rockingham County Superior Court, arguing that he should be removed from the state's Laurie List, which lists police officers with potential credibility issues.
The state Attorney General's Office and the state Police Standards and Training Council are also named as co-defendants in Wood's lawsuit.
Wood claims his placement on the Laurie List, "directly caused his loss of employment with the Chester Police Department" where he recently applied for a job.
Andrew Livernois, a lawyer representing Gordon, said in court papers that Wood's version of events, "is inaccurate, misleading and does not paint an honest portrayal of what actually transpired."
He said Gordon and another officer in the department conducted an internal investigation "which uncovered evidence that confirmed (Wood) had, in fact, made false entries into the police department computer system — most likely on hundreds of different occasions."
Gordon then met with Wood, presented the evidence found during the investigation, and gave him an opportunity to respond, Livernois said in a court motion.
"(Wood) neither admitted nor denied the charges against him," Livernois said in court papers.
Gordon then told Wood that his name would be placed on the state's Laurie List and that he was expected to resign, according to Livernois. Wood adamantly denied that version of events, saying that he was "never told that and it was not implied that he was being terminated."
Wood insists that he left the job of his own accord.
"There was positively no discussion of termination, discipline, sanction or otherwise," Wood said in his complaint, adding that he had "an impeccable service record."
Wood claims that only the Board of Selectmen — not Gordon — had the power to terminate him.
Selectmen were made aware of Gordon's finding, according to Wood, but it was not placed in his permanent file.
"After lengthy discussion and vote by the Board of Selectman, the documents evidencing the supposed claims were removed from Mr. Wood's personnel file by the board and sealed," Wood said in his court complaint.
Gordon then reported Wood to the state's Laurie List, and licensing authority, claiming that the sergeant resigned "in lieu of termination," according to Wood's lawsuit.
A judge is expected to hear testimony regarding Wood's lawsuit in February.

You LOST me
SPOILER ALERT: I am about to address the series finale of LOST. If you haven't seen it and you'd like to, I suggest not reading any further.
I admit it. I like watching television. While I spend far less time in front of the TV than the reported average American (153 hours a month! [1] Who has that kind of time?), I watch with an enthusiasm that should probably embarrass me. Many in my circle of friends have been known to declare coolly, "I don't even have a TV." (As if I don't know they catch up on The Office and Friday Night Lights on their fancy laptops.) I, on the other hand, get cable and have a print subscription to Entertainment Weekly because, in addition to watching TV, I enjoy reading about it as well.
So, it shouldn't be all that strange that I had a hard time sleeping last night after watching the long-awaited, much-talked-about series finale of LOST. With every toss and turn, I thought about why I had come to not hate, but feel so disappointed and annoyed by what I had once thought was a superior example of excellent TV. What I had eventually settled on before getting to work this morning was how willing (and unable) it was to explore religious and spiritual themes.
You'd think that that would be exactly what I liked about it, given my profession. Unfortunately, LOST's writers may have been willing but were unable to meditate on topics such as good and evil, free will, and redemption with anything more than broad strokes of beige, beige, and more beige, the final 15 minutes being the blandest of them all.
Many different religious symbols, statues, and icons adorn the church-like building where all of the "awakened" characters are assembled, preparing to leave. Where they are going, we're not sure until Jack, who has finally had his own awakening after encountering his dead father and realizing that he, too, is no longer alive. As that moment was unfolding, I was cringing and pleading silently and futilely to a narrative that had already been imagined, written, shot and produced: "Please don't do that. No no no no no no."
My worries were confirmed: All of the characters were actually dead and ready to "move on," according to Jack's father, Christian Shepherd (a character who never, over the course of six seasons, didn't actually live up to his name), although we couldn't know when or how they died. (We're are, however, led to believe that Jack died on the island, lying in the same spot we found him in the opening scenes of the pilot episode.)
Some have interpreted the island as Purgatory. I've heard some say that the flash sideways is Purgatory. I say, those interpretations are all fine and well, it's just too bad that we were presented with a final scene that rendered the entire series meaningless. Because we couldn't know how or when anyone died, just that they died at some point and were about to embark into a great white light together, we really don't know anything about any of the characters.
So, having completed six seasons of this show (five of which I own on DVD), my takeaway is that the producers think that if we do good, have loving relationships, and self-actualize, we'll be OK. Frankly, they didn't need to tease us with all the potentially interesting religious symbolism that was used increasingly as the series wore on to tell us that. I really didn't even need to watch the show if I wanted to get that message.
My husband often jokes that I should be a religious consultant in Hollywood, to help writers and producers ensure more accuracy with how they present especially the Catholic faith. If I'd been such a consultant on LOST, I would have suggested steering clear of the religious topics they totally botched and encouraged a narrative that focused on time travel and the mysterious Darma Initiative.
[For more (and better) analysis of LOST, I suggest reading EW writer Doc Jensen's [2] multi-page musings on each episode. His ideas in his finale preview [3] were way cooler and more interesting than the actual finale.]

VERITAS Replicates Data Anywhere at Anytime
As organizations continue to grow, the risks increase that their business-critical remote office data may go unprotected. VERITAS Storage Replicator enables organizations to centralize backup without disrupting normal server operations and helps cut costs by eliminating the need to invest in remote office administrators and hardware. Integral to the company's utility computing strategy to help ensure that data and applications are highly available, VERITAS Storage Replicator software efficiently replicates remote office data over an IP connection, either continuously or on a scheduled basis, to a central location where it can be reliably backed up and stored.

The Walrus Says
Head 'hog Gregg Charest reports that the Rocket 'Hogs have received donations from Police Chief Thomas Tighe and his wife, and the Newport County Convention and Visitors Bureau as the July 2 fireworks display date rapidly approaches.
The spectacular blasts will take place beginning at sundown at Mackerel Cove and as in past years, the show is completely funded by islanders. No tax dollars are allocated.
Gregg said, "We're truly on the countdown now. We really need everyone to send donations to P.O. Box 1776, Jamestown, RI 02835." The 'hogs will be hanging out at Jamestown Hardware every Saturday morning selling T-shirts and hats with the annual brand-new Don Bousquet cartoon.
*** Welcome to the island a 4-month-old black male "mutt" that came here from another island via the Potter League for Animals. Dakota is a rescue dog from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and has been adopted by Karen Carnevale. He is what they call in the Virgin Islands a "potcake" which might be interpreted as "bottom of the barrel."
Dakota, who Karen said is sleeping through the night, will get lots of attention from daughters Gabriella, 7, Aria, 6, and Cerina, 5. Karen said her husband, Mark, is pleased to have another male in the house so he is less outnumbered. Dakota is showing himself to be truly a St. Thomas dog. Karen said he loves to eat anything with a smoky flavor.
Nobody reported in with the name of last week's June poser. It is Steve Martin's "Pretty Flowers."
This from Mary Wright and the Jamestown Kingdom: "Congratulations, Clayton Carlisle, our very own Jamestown Community Theatre 'Cinderella' king, for he hath received best supporting actor in a musical in Community Theatre award from Motif Magazine. Well done and bravo! Best wishes King Clayton the First."
Kudos, King!
Who played Robert Young's wife in the TV series of "Father

More on "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home."
Linda K. Hull in South Kingstown wrote, "I must say that just reading the words to that song brought back memories of Thomas H. Clarke School and music class! I note that the words you quote are the second verse. We sang 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home' from the old 55 Plus songbooks, which may have been leftovers from the USO. Another favorite was 'The Little Brown Church in the Vale' with the boys booming out the chorus 'O come, come, come.' Great fun. I have two tattered copies and looking through them has been fun."
Thanks, Linda.
Wake up, wake up
You sleepy head
Get up, get up,
Get out of bed
In an earlier column, John A. Murphy asked where and when Chuck Berry performed a wild version of "Sweet Little Sixteen." After no reader response and weeks of pondering, we gave up and asked John the answer to the question.
He replied, "In 1958, Chuck Berry performed 'Sweet Little Sixteen' at the Newport Jazz Festival, held that year in Freebody Park.
"He was backed by an 'all star' band of jazz musicians and one of them played a truly memorable clarinet solo. That performance, along with many others, can be found on an artistically and musically beautiful documentary film entitled 'Jazz on a Summer's Day.' I would be happy to lend it to any who wish to get carried back to that simpler time and place."
The Jamestown Community Band is conducting its annual fund drive and is in need of islanders' support. As you probably noticed during the Memorial Day Parade, this great group consists of members of all ages from middle school on up. If you missed the donation envelope in last week's Press, send your tax-deductible check to the band at P.O. Box 202, Jamestown, RI 02835.
Play on!
We accept the fact that it's all about money when it comes to professional sports. But, it doesn't help when every day the media reminds us of that fact by reporting on the greed of the
NFL players and owners.
Ask any student of any age what holiday falls on June 14 and you'll probably get a blank stare.
Flag Day started in 1776 when George Washington and two other members of the Continental Congress asked Betsy
Ross to come up with the first flag. A year later the Continental Congress officially adopted the design for the national flag.
It is believed that Flag Day observance goes back to 1877, the flag's centennial. In 1916,
President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation calling for a nationwide recognition of
Flag Day on June 14. However, it was not made a permanent observance until voted on by Congress in 1949.
Have you ever wondered why the flag is red, white and blue? To the original members of the Continental Congress, red stood for hardiness and courage, white for purity and innocence, and blue for vigilance and justice. And, what's with the 13 stars and stripes? They represent the 13 American colonies, which rallied around the new flag in their fight against the British for self-governance.
Rhode Island is one of the original 13.
Every one can participate next Tuesday; just display Old
Glory and cook up some burgers and franks.
Be true!
Call in your stuff to 829-2760 or 423-0383, or e-mail us at jt email@example.com. Thank you.

The Doctor has always admired the work of William Shakespeare. So he is a little surprised that Charley doesn't hold the galaxy's greatest playwright in the same esteem. In fact she's never heard of him.
Which the Doctor thinks is quite improbable.
General Mariah Learman, ruling Britain after the Eurowars, is one of Shakespeare's greatest admirers, and is convinced her time machine will enable her to see the plays' original performances.
Which the Doctor believes is extremely unlikely.
The Daleks just want to help. They want Learman to get her time machine working. They want Charley to appreciate the first ever performance of Julius Caesar. They believe that Shakespeare is the greatest playwright ever to have existed and venerate his memory.
Which the Doctor knows is utterly impossible.

hbjerkenes needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 142 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Missing Piece
Hi! We are about to start up a new webshop for men's accessories in Norway. Our main focus in the start will be selling necklesses and bracelets/wristbands for men online. We hope to succeed in expanding the product range to other products like scarves, hats, caps, ties and so fort.
We are targeting trendy and urban young men at the age of 15-30 who likes a cool edge to their outfits with accessories. This will be more rock/surf than gold and silver. Since we are looking to expand the product specter in the future, you shouldn't only focus on the neckless/bracelet angle.
We are looking for a logo with a strong icon, that potentially can be used as a logo for clothes. We want a logo that is PROFFESIONAL, CLEAN, MASCULINE and TRENDY.
May also use tagline, but not neccessary: "Accessories for men".
We have already made a website design (see file at the bottom), but was not satisfied with the logo. Even though there is a orange theme, don't let this guide you. The webdesign will be adapted to the logo, not the other way around.
I have played abit around my self, and I think I like the look of small caps letters for the logo. The "missing" and "piece" might also be together without space if there is a logical division in color or design. We are open for subtle shadings and gradients where it's approriate as long as it doesn't look to "web 2.0 appy" or to corporate.
The logo should fit in both dark and bright environments.
We are open for creativity and will try to comment as much as possible. The winner will probably be given more jobs in the future!
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Lou Dalton's spring/summer 2012 collection is all about shorts: medium shorts, short shorts and long shorts… ok the latter is probably just called trousers but you get the idea. Teamed with bomber jackets and some more tailored top pieces, the collection was a rather monochrome experience.
You might think black for summer is a bit dark and twisted, but not for Lou Dalton's Charming Men. And with her influence for the collection coming from Swan Lake and the UK miners' strike in 1984 it all kind of makes sense.
What do you think of Lou Dalton's collection?

This is the toughest, most capable dry suit in Kokatat's lineup.
You'll find the Kokatat Gore-Tex Expedition Dry Suit at the raging creeks of the Pacific Northwest, the deepest rivers in South America, and the coldest waters of Eastern Europe. This is Kokatat's toughest, most capable dry suit, and it was designed so you can drag it through portages, down rappels, and through brutal waters, and thrash it season after season after season. Gore-Tex Pro Shell material provides nigh-impenetrable protection from the freezing, soaking power of the water and it allows sweaty moisture to escape from within so you feel comfortable even if you're paddling hard. Cordura seat and knee patches ensure that high-wear areas will stand the test of time, and as an added touch, these patches are self draining. Kokatat went to great lengths to dial in the wrist and neck gaskets, secure the fit around the overskirt waist, and fully tape the seams of this suit for added water protection. Because this suit is a step up from the already formidable Kokatat Gore-Tex Meridian, you'll find that the Expedition includes a Gore-Tex hood, detailed with SOLAS reflective tape for safety's sake. As the pinnacle of Kokatat's dry suit engineering, this suit gives rafters, kaykers, and canoers a one-stop option for the highest level of dry protection in fast-moving water.
- Three-Layer Gore-Tex Pro Shell material is not only fully waterproof but also breathable enough to allow sweaty moisture to escape from the inside out for comfort
- Factory-taped seams further improve the waterproof protection of this suit so leaks can't form
- 330 Cordura material reinforces the legs, shoulders, and arms for the highest level of durability
- Optiseal metal zipper is rugged and easy to manipulate, and it forms a watertight seal at the chest closure
- Latex neck and wrist gaskets seal out leaks when you're digging hard with your paddle, going for a swim after bailing from your boat, or rescuing a boat in raging water
- Self-draining neck and wrist over-cuffs further secure the watertight seal around your extremities while allowing water to easily pass without building up and blowing out the cuff or neck seals
- Zippered left and right sleeve pockets gives you quick-access, easy-to-reach storage for small essentials
- Overskirt features dual hook-and-loop adjustments for the quickest, most secure fit around the waist
- Hook-and-loop over-cuffs provide further protection from leaks at the ankles
- Front relief zipper lets you do your business easily when Mother Nature comes calling
- Gore-Tex socks protect your feet from chilling water and keep your toes dry inside your over-boots (boots sold separately)
- Item #KOK0137

Strong and durable dry suit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great suit for your whitewater adventures for a day trip or if you're heading out for a week long trip down the Salmon River in Idaho. I have been a guide for four years on the Flathead river in Northern Montana where water is cold and big. This suit has been through the wringer with me. I am 5'8 about 170 and the medium fits very well. The neck gasket is great and keeps you warm along with the wrist and ankle seals. I may suggest looking at some water shoes preferably Kokatat, or Astral to complement this suit.
Great suit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I usually wear a medium for everything, but found that a large allowed for wearing layers to stay warm kite surfing in mid 30° temps. Impressive durability, warmth and great features. The tall collar and hood make the upgrade worth it. Having the wirst seals covered makes me feel safer that I won't knick a seal and spring a leak. The hood can be tucked down when not needed. Make sure to pick up some zipper lube to protect the zipper and keep things smooth.
Fixing the neck gasket is easy
With the right tools and knowledge.
Hard Use, Hard to find better $$$
This suit has seen its 3rd season of high water guiding in SW Colorado. I have yet to get a hole in this suit. I did have to replace the neck gasket this year, which was super easy with knowledgable help. Pro Tip: I wear neoprene socks (NRS) over the booties of this suit, I believe this has protected them from damage. I also carry a small price of carpet in the truck that I stand on to change in and out of the suit so I'm never standing on rocks in the booties alone. The sleeve pockets are good for trash such as snack bars that come up throughout the day. The relief zipper is a must.
why would I buy any other dry onesie
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
why would I buy any other dry onesie when these ones are the best on the market. completely gore tex and it comes with booties to keep your feet dry. They also have an awesome manufacture warranty and/or repair service that makes the higher cost totally worth it. There are somethings your dont want to cut corners on and a dry suit is one of them. This is the one
Best dry suit ever!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have this same dry suit in the women's version with a few minor accessory details. It is AWESOME! I had tried a few other dry suits before this one and it is worth the money! I've been a river guide for 10 years and I use my dry suit for early spring trips and winter Grand Canyon trips, it's awesome!
- fabric on seat and knees is super durable
- gore-tex never disappoints
- gore-tex socks are much more breathable than neoprene and easier to change shoes
- pockets on a dry suit are a great feature!
- A hood is also awesome in big waves or rain
- can be used with a spray skirt
- chest zipper cover (spare your knuckles the trauma)
-hmmm... the only one I can think of is the price tag, but it's worth it. I will say though that after two years of use and abuse mine is showing some serious wear, but with re-waterproofing the suit and re-waxing zippers, it's still holding up, just looks a bit worn.
I have the Kokatat Gore-Tex Expedition...
I have the Kokatat Gore-Tex Expedition Dry Suit for almost 3 years , and take care of it a lot , washing it in fresh water after using it in the sea and drying it in the shade. Now, my feet are feeling a kind of moisture and also my bottom.
Any advice to feel it�s dry inside ?
I had applied Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In (to clean it) and then,
Nikwax Direct Spray-On Waterproofing , but it is like nothing.
Help, Gracias

MEXICO — An hour-and-a-half long standoff ended peacefully in Mexico late Tuesday night after police talked two men out of the stranger's house they were holed up in.
Troy Blanchard, 23, of Mexico, was charged with violating bail conditions, criminal trespassing and terrorizing. His friend, Damen Korhonen, 21, of Canton, was charged with criminal trespassing and terrorizing. Korhonen was taken to Oxford County Jail. Blanchard, who threatened suicide, was taken to St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Lewiston.
The incident started shortly before 9 p.m. when Mexico police were called to Brown Street by someone who said Blanchard was violating his bail conditions. Mexico Police Chief James Theriault said Blanchard was outside 20 Brown Street where he was drinking and causing a commotion. When the Mexico officer arrived, Theriault said, Blanchard became belligerent.
"Mr. Blanchard was in the middle of the road, hollering, swearing at him and then telling him he wasn't going back to jail. He had his hands behind his back and it was a kind of threatening manner to the officer," Theriault said. "Then he turned around and started running."
Blanchard and Korhonen ran to a neighboring house and went inside. Theriault said the door was unlocked and men didn't know the home's three occupants.
The occupants, all adults, were eventually able to leave the home, but Blanchard and Korhonen refused, Theriault said.
Police from Rumford, Oxford County Dixfied and the state, including the State Police Tactical Team, responded to the home. At one point, police shut down Route 17, also known as Roxbury Road, starting at the corner of Harlow Hill Road, to keep people away from the scene. About an hour-and-a-half after the standoff started, the two men agreed to leave the home.
No one was hurt.
Therault said the men did not have any weapons that he was aware of.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is embarking this week on his latest overseas trade trip with stops planned in Germany, Sweden and Norway.
Dayton will be gone this Wednesday through Friday of the following week. The delegation of 35 people from the public and private sectors has meetings planned with counterparts in the three countries that are key export markets for Minnesota.
Germany, for instance, is Minnesota's fifth-largest export destination.
The private business representatives in Dayton's delegation, including his two sons, are paying their own way.
It will be the Democratic governor's third official trip overseas after a 2011 mission to South Korea and Japan and a 2012 trip to China.
