\ Intro [intro] /

As the title suggests, this is a guide on how to clone pokemon in the Diamond
and Pearl versions for the DS. You may use this guide to clone any pokemon you
want from Bidoof to Dialga. There are some risks involved, but if you read this
guide and follow my instructions as much as possible. If you have any questions
or concerns, please read the FAQ before e-mailing me.
/ \
\ Pre-requisites you must complete before you can clone [prerq] /
/ \
Below is a list of what you will need to perform this glitch
- At least two pokemon in your party
- At least one gym badge to access the Global Trading Station (Henceforth
referred to as the GTS)
- Some way to get online with your DS (If it's wireless in your house, or you
are at a hotspot. Just as long as you can connect to Wi-Fi)
That's all you need! Even more good news is that it is an extremely easy gym
considering it is a rock-type gym and there are wild machop in the area. Rock
type is weak to fighting type if you did not know, so the machop's will dominate
the gym. If you chose Turtwig or Piplup as your starter, that makes things even
easier since rock is also weak to grass and water. Wow, this is so much easier
compared to the Pewter gym in the Red/Blue/Yellow generation.
I also highly suggest you have fly if you are later in the game. Simply because
if you can't get to Jubilife City, you can't access the GTS, so you can't clone.
You get fly in Veilstone City which isn't too far in the game, so if you don't
have fly yet, don't worry about it, you will get it soon.
/ \
\ How to Clone (Method 1/Hardest Method) [htcl1] /
/ \
NOTE: I do not recommend trying to clone legendaries or heavily sought after
pokemon. There is a chance you will lose it. Please make sure you are
willing to lose the pokemon you are trying to clone. It is risky.
Yay! The part you all want to know, how to actually clone the pokemon.
To start off with, you'll need to go to Jubilife City and enter the GTS. If the
pokemon you want to clone is not in your party, fear not, you can deposit a
pokemon into the GTS from your box. I do recommend having the pokemon in your
party though, so for the rest of the guide I will assume it is in your party.
There is a PC system in the GTS building next to the counter, take out the
pokemon you want to clone, and make sure there is at least one empty space or
more in your party, since you will need it when you have finished cloning. (You
don't really need the empty space since when you withdraw a pokemon from the
GTS and there are no spaces in your party, the pokemon goes into your PC
instead. I just suggest the space because you'll want both the clone and
original pokemon in your party when you're done so you can confirm that the
glitch worked.)
Now enter the GTS (I know you're sick of seeing those three letters) and
talk to the woman at the counter to go online. After connecting to Wi-Fi is done
loading deposit the you wish to clone. Please look at the prevention [prevt]
section of the guide to see what pokemon you should ask for to lower the risk of
losing yours.
After you deposit your pokemon, but before the animation starts you will see a
little second hand that "ticks" around in a clock-like manner. For the sake of
argument we will call each time the second hand moves a "second" and each full
circle the hand makes a "minute". Do not actually think I am talking about
actual minutes and seconds. There are 8 seconds to a minute, and ON AVERAGE
it takes seven minutes to upload your pokemon to the database. The time it takes
to upload the pokemon varies with how well your connection is, and how close
your DS is to your wireless router.
Now, place down your DS on a hard surface and do not move it. I chose a hard
surface because it is harder to accidentally move the system as opposed to just
holding it in your hands, which do move. Now count how many "minutes" and
"seconds" it takes to upload the pokemon. Remember this number as it is an
extremely important step in this process, write it down if you must. Without
moving the DS, take your pokemon back. You did nothing so far to clone except
finding out how long it takes to upload the pokemon to the internet.
Still without moving the DS, upload your pokemon again. What you are trying to
do is to turn off your DS one second (according to the icon on the bottom right,
not one second according to your clock) before the uploading is complete. If you
turn the game off it too early or too late it won't work. Remember, do not move
the DS until you have a successful clone.
Now turn on your game again and a screen will come up telling you that the game
is corrupt. Don't worry this is a part of the cloning process and always
happens. Nothing bad will happen to your game from this. D/P has a double save
feature for such a situation. If the game does not notify you that the game data
is corrupt then you know right away that the cloning failed. Anyway, you should
be in the GTS building right in front of the desk. Pause and check your party,
if the pokemon you were trying to clone is there, then so far so good. If not,
then the cloning failed and the pokemon is still in the GTS. Connect to the GTS
again to see if your pokemon is still up for trade. If it is, and it is still in
your party, retrieve your pokemon from the trade. If not, then try again.
Congrats! You have successfully cloned a pokemon! Wouldn't Mewtwo be proud.

\ How to Clone (Method 2./Easiest Method) [htcl2] /
/ \
NOTE: I do not recommend trying to clone legendaries or heavily sought after
pokemon. There is a chance you will lose it. Please make sure you are
willing to lose the pokemon you are trying to clone. It is risky.
There is a second method to cloning that is even easier then the previous one I
explained in the previous section. Thank you Cujo for telling me this. I will
write this part of the guide from my own experience using it. It truly is the
easiest way to do this.
First off, go to the wireless router in your house (Or wherever you are). Now
look at the lights on it. See one labeled WLAN that doesn't blink or anything?
That's the light your going to be staring at for the next few minutes. Hey,
don't be complaining, at least it isn't that little clock on your screen that
makes you dizzy (Or the sun. Heaven forbid I ever see the sun again...). If you
do not have that WLAN light, then I am afraid that you cannot use this method
of the glitch and must use method one. Sorry.
Note: Yes, I am aware that I copied the next two paragraphs from the above
section. I'm lazy, okay? XD
To start off with, you'll need to go to Jubilife City and enter the GTS. If the
pokemon you want to clone is not in your party, fear not, you can deposit a
pokemon into the GTS from your box. I do recommend having the pokemon in your
party though, so for the rest of the guide I will assume it is in your party.
There is a PC system in the GTS building next to the counter, take out the
pokemon you want to clone, and make sure there is at least one empty space or
more in your party, since you will need it when you have finished cloning. (You
don't really need the empty space since when you withdraw a pokemon from the
GTS and there are no spaces in your party, the pokemon goes into your PC
instead. I just suggest the space because you'll want both the clone and
original pokemon in your party when you're done so you can confirm that the
glitch worked.)
Now enter the GTS (I know you're sick of seeing those three letters) and
talk to the woman at the counter to go online. After connecting to Wi-Fi is done
loading deposit the you wish to clone. Please look at the prevention [prevt]
section of the guide to see what pokemon you should ask for to lower the risk of
losing yours.
After you hit okay and the little timer shows up at the bottom right (As
mentioned in method 1) Look to the WLAN light on your router. Take note that
when you hit yes, the light flickered a little bit. That was your DS
communicating with Nintendo. Now keep staring at that light, it'll be a little
bit. When it flickers again, turn off your DS. You have to be quick with it.
Extremely quick with it. If you don't turn off the DS the second it begins to
flicker the cloning won't work.
Now turn on the game and see if the pokemon is in both your party and the GTS.
If not, try again. If so, Mewtwo is still proud of you. :P
/ \
\ Preventing the pokemon you're cloning from getting traded off [prevt] /
/ \
Probably the most important part of this technique is making sure your pokemon
doesn't accidentally get traded off. Below are some methods to help you prevent
such a tragic mishap.
Universal to all methods:
- Act fast, hackers love to take the pokemon you are cloning because they have
no life.
- Also specify a gender in the pokemon you're looking for, that will greatly
reduce the chances of losing yours.
- Never ask for legendaries. Reason 1: Hackers have millions of them and can
easily give one up for your pokemon. Reason 2: It's annoying to see so many
people asking for Palkia when they are offering crap.
Method 0: Most Secure, lowest risk (Unconfirmed)
This is method 0 because I myself have not confirmed this. I have been told by
quite a few people that nintendo does not allow you to trade away a level 40 or
lower Palkia or Dialga. I have heard reports of people that have tried to trade
away hacked Dialgas and Palkias at level 9 and lower, but were unable to because
Nintendo had a block against it. I myself have not confirmed it, but you should
be able to safely ask for a level 9 or lower Palkia/Dialga without any risk of
losing your pokemon.
Method 1: Most secure, highest risk
The most secure pokemon for you to ask for is a pokemon of a level impossible to
achieve. Certain pokemon evolve at a certain level, right? Such as Piplup at
level 16, right? Well, it is impossible for that evolution to exist at a lower
level without hacking the game. So ask for a level 9 or lower Prinplup or some
other impossible leveled pokemon like that. It is impossible to have certain
evolutions at such a low level. The reason for the high risk is, if a hacker
does decide to hack and make the trade, you lose the pokemon you wanted to clone
AND you get a crappy low level piece of... um... crap.
Method 2: Semi-secure, semi-risk
This method is not as secure for you as Method 1, but it has a lower risk.
Basically, ask for a level 100 pokemon that would have evolved long before that,
such as Bidoof. No one should have one, as most people let their pokemon evolve
when they hit the appropriate level. This also has a lower risk as the above
method because if your pokemon does get accidentally traded away, you now have
a level 100 pokemon.
Method 3: Least secure, least risk
This is the least secure method because you are asking for a reasonable
pokemon, but it has the least risk because you are asking for a better version
of yours. For instance, if you are cloning a level 52 Houndoom, ask for a level
100 Houndoom. That way if the trade is made, you still have a Houndoom, but at
a much higher level. If you're lucky, it may even be EV trained.
Those are the three methods I came up with. If you have any more, feel free to
e-mail them to me and I will add them if I see fit, and give you the credit.

\ Troubleshooting [tblsh] /
/ \
This is to save you from the FAQs if you have a problem. If this still doesn't
help, check the FAQ section, and if that still doesn't help, e-mail me and I
will reply as soon as possible. And now for the trouble shooting! Easier then
duck hunt (Hahaha, get it? Duck hunt? Trouble shooting? You shoot ducks in Duck
Hunt? Yeah, I know, that joke sucked)
- It didn't work, but I did everything you said.
Okay, this is an extremely hard glitch to pull off. I know the ins and outs of
it and I still only pull it off 8 to 10 percent of the time. Reason being, the
minutes and seconds number can change any second. My internet runs slower if
more people in the area, and faster if less people in the area are online. I
Suggest not doing this at times in your area when there are a lot of people
getting online and signing off. That amount of traffic change messes up the
timing to turning off the game.

\ FAQ [faqxx] /
/ \
Question: How do I clone in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl?
Answer: Okay, I am honestly not kidding. I get this exact e-mail from different
people at least 3 times a day and I'm sick of it. This guide works for both
versions and I have said that quite a few times in here. Do not ask me how
to clone, read the guide. I have also been asked a few times to walk people
cloning step by step, I will not do this, just read the guide and don't
Question: After I tried cloning it didn't work, but every time I go back into
the GTS and connect to Wi-Fi, it says that an error occurred and kicks me
out. What happened?!
Answer: Honestly, I don't know what happened. That happened to me the first
time I tried it. What I did to fix it was turn off my DS, watched TV for
a few hours, then came back and tried again. It let me online. Just wait
a few hours and try again, it should work out.
Question: Sometimes when I deposit a pokemon into the GTS I fail and the
pokemon is no longer in my party, but in the GTS. Can I use this cloning
trick to clone the pokemon when I withdraw it from the GTS turning the game
off at the appropriate time?
Answer: I myself have recently tried this, and no you cannot. There is a slight
chance it is possible, but I have been unable to do it myself and I am now
able to successfully clone almost every time.
Question: Can I use this method to clone items?
Answer: Yes you can! Just have the pokemon you are cloning hold the item you
want cloned, and if you do it right you clone the held item too!
Question: I tried cloning, got the blue error screen that said, "Your file is
corrupt" but my pokemon didn't clone! It's only in my party/GTS. What
Answer: When you try the glitch and get that blue error screen, it doesn't mean
that you have correctly or successfully cloned a pokemon. It just means that
you turned off the game when it was still saving so there is a chance you
cloned the pokemon. But if the blue corruption screen doesn't come up, then
you know that you have not cloned the pokemon.
Question: Using either method, can you clone the pokemon when you are taking the
pokemon out of the GTS? So I can make another clone when I try getting my
pokemon out?
Answer: I have tried it myself multiple times with no luck, but
have cloned depositing the pokemon successfully just before that with no
problem. There is a chance that you can, and I just wasn't doing it right,
but I doubt it. I will say no to this unless I disprove this by cloning that
Question: Do you need to have an extra space in your party for the glitch to
Answer: No, but if you do successfully clone the pokemon and you do not have the
room in your party to withdraw the pokemon from the Trading Station, then you
have to leave, make room in your party for it, and re-enter taking up a lot
of time that you don't need to waste. Also, during that time someone may make
the trade and you may lose your clone.
(Thank you xmunamaniacx for this suggesting this question)
Question: Why can't I move the DS when trying this glitch?
Answer: Because, the closer the DS is to the router, the faster the DS is to
the router, the faster it connects. The further from the router, the slower
it connects. Plain and simple, if you move your DS around, the timing when
you need to turn it off will change. Keeping it in one solid spot prevents
this variable.
Question: I put up my pokemon, counted the minutes and seconds, took it back,
put it up again to clone, but the animation started much earlier before it
should have? What happened?
Answer: One of two things happened. One, you moved the DS closer to the router
causing the loading time to shorten. Or two, some people in your area got
offline and sped up your connection time due to less traffic. I suggest
re-counting and trying again, or waiting until there aren't many people
signing on and offline.
Question: Which pokemon is the original? The one in my party? Or the one up
for trade?
Answer: They're both the same. It is a glitch so neither one is the "original".
That's how amazing the glitch is.
Question: Can Nintendo fix this glitch because it involves the internet?
Answer: Honestly, I cannot say. I do not believe they can because the pokemon
may be put online, but the pokemon you are cloning is also in the actual
cartridge and that part they can't fix. So I strongly do not think they can
fix it, but I don't know for sure. I can say that there is an extremely high
chance of the glitch getting fixed with the next generation of pokemon
Question: My WLAN light is blinking and I didn't do anything, why is it doing
Answer: The WLAN light blinks when a wireless device communicates with it. So
there is something else in the house communicating with the router. In most
cases it is a laptop computer, or another DS in the house hooking up to the
Question: Why'd you write this guide?! Because of YOU, the GTS is ruined and all
you can find on there is crap asking for Palkia/Dialga. I hope you're happy
with yourself.
Answer: Well, to answer your question, I actually wrote this guide to teach
people how to clone. I thought that was somewhat obvious. But to the rest of
your little rant, that isn't my fault. People have been asking for those two
Offering crap pokemon before I even got the game. Don't blame it on me, blame
the ignorance of the human race and its inability to see that Palkia/Dialga
is more valuable then a Bidoof.
Question: Cloning is bad! It isn't a legit way to add to your collection!
Answer: Congrats, you have morals. I don't suggest cloning to get further in
the game, but to have fun. If you're against it, then don't do it.
Question: Shouldn't you capitalize "Pokemon" everytime you write it here? I see
it capitalized sometimes, but not others.
Answer: Thank you, I get this a lot actually (Hence the question is in the FAQ
section. I say no because Pokemon and pokemon are two different things. When
I talk about the title of the game, I capitalize it. Pokemon is the name of
the game so I believe Pokemon Diamond and Pearl need capitalization.
Othertimes I am simply talking about the creature, pokemon. In that case I am
simply referring to the creature and not the game title so it stays lower
case. That would be like me capitalizing the word animal in a sentance.
Question: Can this even work for legendaries?! CAN I LOOSE THE LEGENDARY?!?!?!
Answer: Yes, it does work for legendaries. Please note that above I have said
any pokemon. Also, you can loose your legendary like you can loose any other
pokemon. There will always be that risk. Please read the whole guide before
asking the question, I have stated this previously.
Question: Is there any other way to clone besides this?
Answer: I was not expecting to get asked this so often. To answer this question,
no. I wrote the cloning guide to tell you every method that I knew on how
to clone. Trust me, if I knew another way then I would put it in the FAQ.
Don't worry, I'm not holding out on you guys. =P

I would like to give a huge thank you to Nintendo for messing up the online
experience so we may exploit this glitch.
I would also like to thank my friend from school (Who wishes to remain
anonymous as she doesn't go online) who told me about this glitch. After
she told me about it, I tried it out and wrote this guide from my experience.
Thank you xmunamaniacx for suggesting a question for the FAQ section (If an
empty space is needed in the party or not).
Thank you Cujo for teaching me the second method to cloning, it proved to
be much easier then my previous method!
Thank you Simiswimm for correcting me 33 times in this guide in where I messed
up my spelling and grammar. It was a great relief that you have done that for
me. ^_^
Thank you The Lady Musical 919 for helping me with further grammar errors.
Michael Sarich for the copyright at the bottom of this guide.
And me for writing this guide. This sentence is only here so the thank you to
myself is longer then the ones above me because I would prefer to the longest
credit in here while I worry about adding in this extremely long credit because
it seems a tad bit conceited to write such a long and drawn out thank you to
myself, but it doesn't quite matter now that I finially finished it and have
thanked myself longer then everyone else. Ironically... that previous statement
wasn't actually thanking myself, so the actual thanking of me is the shortest in
this whole section.

My contact is at the top, GoticoLupo (at) gmail (dot) com if you are too
lazy to scroll up, so please feel free to e-mail me any grammar and spelling
corrections I should make to the guide. Any contributions you may have to add
to this guide are also greatly appreciated. Please include your screen name/name
you wish to be called by so that I may give you credit for your contribution.
Fanmail is also accepted on the highest level (Like level 100 high. I can clone
that too, for two level 100 acceptance) But on the opposite end, no unfounded
hatemail either. I have been getting e-mails ranting at me that I "suck" and
that I'm "ruining the game". Don't send me that crap. If you have a problem
with the guide, tell me in a civilized and sophisticated manner. If you don't, I
can't guarantee I'll be very pleasant with you and what I say.
And the most appreciated mail is when you're so happy with your cloned
shiny/legendary that you want to give me one, and contact me to do so. :P
ALSO! DO NOT FOWARD ANY E-MAILS TO ME AT ALL! I get way too many of the same
e-mails sent to me, and I don't need to go through twenty of the same e-mail a
day. That, and there are too many chain letters getting sent to me. DON'T
FORAWRD ME ANYTHING. Thank you.

Aviva Premiership
Tim Payne handed two-week ban
ESPN Staff
October 2, 2012
Tim Payne (right) has been suspended for two weeks © Getty Images
Wasps prop Tim Payne has been hit with a two-week suspension for striking Northampton Saints' Vasily Artemyev with his knee.
Payne was sin-binned for the offence after the incident - which happened in the last few moments of the first-half in Wasps' game with Northampton on Friday - was referred to the TMO by the referee. And the prop pleaded guilty to a "charge of striking with the knee" at his hearing today.
He will be cleared to return to action on October 16 and will miss Wasps' next two games. They will have to cope without their prop - who made his 250th appearance for the Aviva Premiership side on Friday - in their match against the Worcester Warriors on Saturday and their Amlin Challenge Cup game with the Newport Gwent Dragons on October 13.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Eleven Republican state attorneys general say President Obama acted illegally by making changes to the Affordable Care Act without congressional approval.
In a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the GOP officials slammed an executive action by President Obama allowing insurance companies to keep offering health plans that had been canceled for not meeting the Affordable Care Act's standards, The Hill reported Thursday.
"We support allowing citizens to keep their health insurance coverage," the letter said, "but the only way to fix this problem-ridden law is to enact changes lawfully: through congressional action. The illegal actions by this administration must stop."
The executive action, made because Obama had assured consumers they could keep their current health insurance plans if they were happy with them, was "flatly illegal under federal constitutional and statutory law," the attorneys general said.
The Hill said Sebelius' department did not respond to a request for comment.
The letter was written by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, but also signed by his GOP counterparts in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia.
The Republican attorney generals argue the Obama action violates precedents set by the U.S. Supreme Court.

We are in the thick of the World Cup, but that does not mean that everything else stops! We are back with the latest literary updates from around the world. MARGENTO reports from Bookfest Bucharest on the latest of Romanian publishing and Romanian-US connections that emerged during the festival. Paul Worley and Kelsey Woodburn discuss the latest publications from the Yucatan Peninsula, focusing on indigenous writers. Finally, Theophilus Kwek tells us about recent news in the Singaporean literary world. Happy reading!
MARGENTO, Editor-at-Large, reporting from Romania:
Bookfest Bucharest is one of the largest international book festivals in Europe, growing larger and larger by the year. This year it featured over 150 publishers. Although expanding, the festival seemed less loud this time for a quite mundane reason: the organizers placed the beer patios further away from the pavilions than they did in the past. The atmospherics and the events felt really animated, though, and sometimes even intense. The guest of honor was the United States, with a centrally placed and welcoming space hosting four to six events every day. One of the most popular panels was chaired by the ambassador himself—HE Hans Klemm—on the life and work of Romanian-born American critic and fiction writer Matei Călinescu (and the dedicated Humanitas series).

Yarnell firefighter's fiancee gives birth to daughter
PHOENIX -- When Anthony Rose and his fiancee, Tiffany Hettrick, found out in February that they were going to have a baby, they called his mother in Illinois from their home in Prescott Valley, Ariz.
Anthony started, "Mom, I've got something to tell you —"
On the other end of the line, Athena Sperry gleefully interjected: "She's pregnant!"
In May, the couple found out that their baby is a girl, and chose a name together. They didn't tell anyone else; it would be their secret until the day she was born.
But by the end of June, Anthony was gone. He had been working, battling the Yarnell Hill Fire southwest of Prescott, and was one of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots trapped and killed in the wildfire.
On Thursday, the day that would have been her father's 24th birthday, Anthony and Tiffany's baby girl, Willow Mae Rose, was born.
"It feels awesome. I can't wait to hold her when I come out there," Athena said.
In Arizona, seemingly everyone knows the story of the hotshots, especially in Prescott and Prescott Valley. There are memorials and purple ribbons, and the firefighters' families have one another to lean on. Tiffany's family lives in Racine, Wis., but she waited here in Arizona for her baby to come, surrounded by friends who understand her loss.
But nearly 1,800 miles away in Anthony's hometown of Beach Park, Ill., the Sperry house is alone in its expression of grief. It is the home with 19 small American flags stuck in the grass in the front yard.
Anthony was the oldest of Athena Sperry's three children, and she can still see him everywhere: eating cereal in the kitchen before school, riding his bike up the driveway, skateboarding at the park.
She dreams about Anthony, and then wakes to see the framed picture of him next to her rosary on the nightstand. And then she remembers, again, that he is gone.
"Oh, damn," she says softly.
The youngest hotshot children
Three of the Granite Mountain Hotshots were about to become fathers for the first time.
Sean Jaxon Herbert Misner, the son of firefighter Sean Misner and his wife, Amanda, was first to arrive, born on Aug. 22. He's named after his father, but his family calls him "Jax" for short.
Willow Mae is here now, a healthy baby born to a mother who wants only privacy.
And Roxanne Warneke, wife of hotshot Billy Warneke, is expecting a baby girl in December. She plans to name her Billie Grace, after Billy.
Anthony is lost
On June 30, Athena Sperry's husband, Michael, was watching the 10 p.m. news when he heard about the Yarnell Hill Fire and called out to Athena. She stared at the TV and shook her head.
"If it was Anthony, we would have heard something," she said. "It can't be. It can't be."
Athena called Anthony's cellphone. It went straight to voicemail. She sent a text message to Tiffany, but didn't get a response. That was when she knew something was wrong; Tiffany always answered her texts. Always.
An hour passed, indescribably slow. She tried Anthony's number again. And then Tiffany called.
"I knew," Athena says.
"I knew instantly when I answered the phone."
She handed the phone to Michael. Anthony's sister, Rhonda, who goes by Ronnie, collapsed, sobbing. Athena trailed down the hallway into Anthony's old room and sat on the edge of his bed, crying. Her son, Alex, 18, crept in and sat next to her, silent.
None of them slept that night. It passed as if in slow motion, with one phone call after another. The following days were a blur: people coming and going, the refrigerator filling with food. A landscaper mowed the yard and put down mulch without being asked. Someone left a box of doughnuts on the hood of her car.
Athena couldn't travel to Prescott because of illness, so her brother and Ronnie went to represent the family. Anthony's ashes came home in a heart-shaped box, about the size of a Faberge egg, with an American flag on the lid.
Athena watched when the plane carrying his ashes arrived at the Waukegan Regional Airport on July 10. Two air rescue trucks shot streams of water into the air, forming an archway. More than 40 fire trucks from all over the state followed the hearse to the funeral home, and people lined the route, waving flags and holding signs that read, "Our hero."
The next day, hundreds of firefighters walked single-file through the funeral home to salute Anthony one last time.
Willow forever
This was Anthony's second year with the hotshots, and he liked that the work was seasonal, from April to November. The time he had off would have let him be there for his daughter — feedings and diaper changes, cries in the night and long walks in the stroller.
"That's the hardest thing," Athena said. "That baby is never really going to know how great her daddy was."
So she will tell her granddaughter stories about Anthony, how excited he was that she was coming, the funny things he did as a kid and how brave he was in the end.
She will give Willow her daddy's old yellow Tonka truck, the one he used to push Ronnie around the house on.
"I think that's what is keeping me strong; I know I have a granddaughter coming," Athena said before Willow's arrival. "I hope to God she has his bright blue eyes."
Even if the baby's eyes don't turn out to be blue like her father's, Athena says she'll have the name he helped choose for her. And that is forever.

Polanco's first homer punctuates Bucs' win in 13
MIAMI -- The Pirates' offense started and ended with rookie Gregory Polanco on Friday night at Marlins Park, as the outfielder led his team to a 8-6 win over the Marlins courtesy of his first big league homer, a two-run shot to right-center field in the 13th inning.
And he did it -- part of a 5-for-7 performance in his fourth career start -- with his mom watching from the stands.View Full Game Coverage
MIAMI -- The Pirates' offense started and ended with rookie Gregory Polanco on Friday night at Marlins Park, as the outfielder led his team to a 8-6 win over the Marlins courtesy of his first big league homer, a two-run shot to right-center field in the 13th inning.
And he did it -- part of a 5-for-7 performance in his fourth career start -- with his mom watching from the stands.View Full Game Coverage
"This is my best game ever," Polanco said. "It's the first time she's here, watching me play in the Majors. I was excited."
Reliever Jeanmar Gomez got the win for the Bucs. He threw all four extra innings and limited the Marlins to one walk and one hit.
Friday night was shaping up to be an easy win for the Pirates. They were leading 6-2 in the ninth, their dream outfield was dropping hits everywhere and starter Jeff Locke threw a career-high eight innings.
But all of that success was buried by the Marlins' six-walk, four-run comeback in the ninth inning.
Pittsburgh's comfortable lead disappeared when manager Clint Hurdle had to make three calls to the bullpen. The Marlins sent up 10 hitters, drew those six walks (one intentional) and scored four runs in the inning -- all on one hit.
"Nobody's going out there to walk guys," Hurdle said. "People are going out to get outs. It didn't happen. You keep playing. You rip off the rearview and you keep playing forward. That's what we had to do tonight."
Justin Wilson started the ninth, but only stayed for one-third of it after giving up two walks. Jason Grilli then couldn't shut down the bottom of the Miami order. He issued two walks, allowed a run to score on a fielder's choice and gave up a single to put the Marlins within one run of a tie.
Mark Melancon, who entered the night with a 2.03 ERA and 13 holds, couldn't stop the Marlins from tying the game at 6, as he walked former Pirate Casey McGehee with the bases loaded. Melancon sent the game to extras by striking out Marcell Ozuna, who had walked to lead off the inning.
All of that after it took just six pitches for the Pirates to take the lead.
From the first pitch of the game, the Pirates seemed determined to play like they hadn't arrived in Miami at almost 4 a.m. Friday morning. They put up 11 hits and six runs on the board in the first five innings, led by their outfielders and top of the order. Polanco, Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen combined to go 11-for-21 with six runs scored and two homers in the game.
It was Polanco who started it all by lining a 98-mph pitch over the glove of Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. He went on to notch the first multi-hit game of his young career.
Then Marte, who had his second four-hit night of the season, crushed Nathan Eovaldi's sixth pitch of the game over the left-field fence for a two-run lead.
Eovaldi, whose wife was expecting the birth of his first child in Texas at any moment on Friday, gave up four straight hits in his first 16 pitches. One of those was to McCutchen, who extended his hitting streak to nine games and was 2-for-7.
The Pirates tagged six earned runs on Eovaldi, who threw 98 pitches in 4 2/3 innings.
Lost in the shuffle was Locke, who was making his first road start of the season. In eight innings, he gave up two runs. He also struck out seven in 101 pitches and gave up nary a walk.
"That's efficient," Hurdle said. "That's 100 pitches in eight innings. He had one three-ball count the entire time he was out there."
But before Locke settled in, he kept letting the Marlins get too close for comfort.
In the third, he let them get within a run for the second time of the game by allowing a two-out homer to Giancarlo Stanton, who now has a National League-leading 18 on the year. The game would have been tied if Polanco hadn't correctly read the ball off the bat of Reed Johnson and made a diving catch to keep him off bases ahead of Stanton.
"It's crazy how games get played out," Hurdle said. "If games get played out that way, then that happens."
With the win, the Pirates managed to lift a curse of sorts. They'd lost 11 straight games on Friday the 13th.

Need to put a bit of Latin passion back in your life?
Bank on the Eternal City to give you a full-frontal booster of la dolce vita. Rome is a feast for all the senses in every respect, with history, pre-history and the pontiff himself, all served-up in a stylish 21st century wrapper.
Rome isn't necessarily the cheapest of shopping destinations, but if you're in search of high-quality designer goods you'll find much to choose from. The streets around Piazza di Spagna – most notably Via Condotti – are full of fashion houses and designer boutiques. Elsewhere, Via Cola di Rienzo in the Prati district is another of the city's prime retail streets – its Castroni store (Via Cola di Rienzo 196) is a great outlet to pick up Italian specialty foods. For market shopping, meanwhile, the Porta Portese flea market takes place each Sunday, with antiques, books, jewellery and plenty of other goods on sale.
Food & Drink
Italian food is rightly lauded as one of the planet's great cuisines, and if you know where to head in Rome, you'll be treated to some genuinely world-class meals. There are some highly praised gourmet restaurants – the three-Michelin-star La Pergola (Via Alberto Cadlolo 101) being a prime example – but some of the richest rewards are to be found in lower-key, family-run trattorias. Excellent options include La Tavernaccia da Bruno (Via Panfilo Castaldi 12) and La Nuova Cantinetta (Via Basilio Brollo 7). For those with a sweet tooth, the city has some superb gelaterie (ice-cream parlours).
Rome Marathon
Standing as one of the world's most popular marathons, Rome's annual race takes runners past the city's plethora of big-name sights. It begins and ends on Via dei Fori Imperiali, and for those lacking the will for the full marathon distance there's also a 5km run.
Natale di Roma
21 April
Translating as the 'birth of Rome', this citywide party takes place each 21 April (the date of its founding in 753BC), with street parades, firework displays, live bands, historical re-enactments and other events. If you're in Rome, you'll certainly know about it.
Roma Incontra il Mondo
This music festival is as notable for its stunning setting – the stage is situated beside a lake in Villa Ada park – as it is for its often stellar line-up, drawing established world music artists to Rome from across the globe.
Gay Village
Held for the first time in 2002, this 10-week extravaganza features everything from dance nights and cinema festivals to literature events and drag queen performances. It takes place each summer at the Esposizione Universale Roma (almost always referred to as EUR).
An acclaimed gathering of contemporary dancers, entertainers and musicians, this performing arts festival is one of the city's most inventive annual events, drawing a good mix of local and international acts. Various venues are used.
Rome has a hotel portfolio as copious as you'll find anywhere, providing everything from top-tier luxury to budget digs. With the city offering so many set-piece sights, location is always a big selling point, which makes boutique finds like St Peter Guest House (Via Ottaviano 98) – sitting a short walk from the Vatican – and the impressively hip iRooms Forum & Colosseum (Via Baccina 45) highly notable options. For a far larger high-end hotel, the 116-room Jumeirah Grand Hotel Via Veneto (Via Vittorio Veneto 155) has a great rooftop terrace, as does Relais & Chateaux Hotel Raphael (Largo Febo 2).

Board of Governors and Board of Directors of the Mutual Funds
The CI Investments Board of Governors was voluntarily established by CI in 1998, making it one of the first such fund governance bodies in Canada.
The Board of Governors acts as an independent governance body of all CI Mutual Funds, providing impartial judgment on conflicts of interest with a view to the best interests of the CI Mutual Funds and CI Investments investors.
The Board of Governors recommends the best course of action to achieve a fair and reasonable result on any conflict of interest issues, and CI takes into account its recommendation in accordance with its fiduciary duty to the CI Mutual Funds. All of the members of the Board are independent of CI.
The Board of Governors mandate is set out in a separate charter and reviewed annually by the Board to ensure its mandate conforms to the expectations and requirements of Canadian securities regulators. Along with dealing with conflicts of interest, the mandate provides that the Board acts as an audit committee for the CI Mutual Funds for the purpose of reviewing the financial statements of the CI Mutual Funds with the auditors of the CI Mutual Funds and reviews holdings, purchases and sales by the CI Mutual Funds of securities of CI Financial Corp. and other related companies.
The Board also reviews and discusses on a regular basis matters including compliance of the CI Mutual Funds with CI's relevant policies and procedures, approval of the CI Funds' auditors and the fees paid to those auditors and the performance of the Board and its members.
The Board of Governors adheres to the regulations set out by Canadian securities regulators in National Instrument 81-107 Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds, which requires all investment funds in Canada to have independent review committees.
The Board of Governors members are compensated as recommended by CI and approved by the board. These expenses are paid by CI and charged to the CI Mutual Funds as part of their administration fee.

Ted Cruz: The Imperial Presidency of Barack Obama
In the nation's history, there is simply no precedent for an American president so wantonly ignoring federal law.
Of all the troubling aspects of the Obama presidency, none is more dangerous than the president's persistent pattern of lawlessness, his willingness to disregard the written law and instead enforce his own policies via executive fiat. On Monday, Mr. Obama acted unilaterally to raise the minimum wage paid by federal contracts, the first of many executive actions the White House promised would be a theme of his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
The president's taste for unilateral action to circumvent Congress should...

Saginaw County school district can't pay teachers
SAGINAW (AP) — A Michigan school district that said it can't afford to pay its teachers has decided to lay off employees and cancel classes as it works on a plan to educate students.
The Buena Vista School District, located just outside of Saginaw, said in a posting on its website that school is closed for the day and a community meeting is scheduled for Tuesday night. The district's board voted Monday night to lay off an unspecified number of employees.
"We're continuing to try to develop the best plans for students," Deborah Hunter-Harvill told MLive.com. "We're working to come up with strategies. I'm not working alone."
Buena Vista Education Association President Joe Ann Nash said in a telephone news conference Monday that the district's 27 teachers would work this week in the hopes that the state and the school district can come up with a plan to keep classes in operation.
Today, the Michigan Education Association said the district is putting money before the interests of children.
"Faced with a selfless offer of help from their employees to continue working, without the guarantee of a paycheck next payday, Buena Vista's school board and administration gave up on their students and employees," MEA President Steve Cook said in a statement.
The school district in Saginaw County announced last week that it won't be able to make payroll on May 24 because the state has put a hold on its funding to recoup about $580,000 for a juvenile detention education program the district no longer operates. Teachers will receive their final paychecks on Friday.
Michigan started withholding money in April and will continue to do so through part of July, state Department of Education has said.
Enrollment has declined from more than 900 in 2010 to about 400 this year. The school district has been in debt since 2011, with its deficit reaching $1 million last July, the state said. In addition, the Buena Vista district will owe the state about $2 million in loans in August.
According to the school district's website, it is taking steps toward confirming a financial emergency, which could lead to an emergency manager being installed to help bring the school out of debt.

The all-time most expensive private residence in Southeast Florida was just sold in Miami Beach at the whopping price of $27 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. Set atop the Setai Resort and Residences, an oceanfront South Beach complex, the 7,100-square-foot penthouse takes up the entire 40th floor of The Setai.
The home was purchased by European investors for $15 million in 2010. Since then, they've often leased it for at least $30,000 a night to guests like Simon Cowell, Madonna, Jim Carrey, and U2. They sold the unit to an anonymous buyer through a Delaware entity under a limited liability company.
The home has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a 360-degree view, and a 3,000-square-foot rooftop terrace complete with kitchen, Jacuzzi and infinity pool.
With such large, spanning windows, we can only speculate that you can smell the Atlantic Ocean in the premise. But who knows--40 floors is a mighty high walk-up. Though surely most sane people take the elevator.

Microsoft's SmartScreen 'reputation checker' is expanding from the Internet Explorer browser to the entire Windows 8 desktop, nudging developers to buy Extended Validation (EV) code signing certificates to reduce their chances of causing a security alert.
"We recognise that Internet Explorer (IE) isn't the only way users download applications from the Internet, so Windows 8 now uses SmartScreen to perform an application reputation check the first time users launch applications that were downloaded from the Internet," Jeb Haber, Microsoft's lead program manager for SmartScreen explained yesterday in a blog post.
The integration of SmartScreen across the Windows 8 desktop forms part of Microsoft's strategy to reduce malware threats to the Windows ecosystem and comes as the Redmond company launches Windows Store, its distribution platform for Windows 8 applications.
Software distributed through it will already be vetted by Microsoft so will not face the Windows SmartScreen Application Reputation's "checks or warnings", however all software downloaded from the web will, leaving developers with the choice to buy a certificate, wait for their reputation to build or distribute through the Windows Store.
Developers can reduce the chances of their software triggering security alerts by buying EV code signing certificates, currently from certificate authorities Symantec or DigiCert.
Symantec currently charges US$995 for a one year EV code signing certificate, US$1,790 for two years and $2,585 for three years. DigiCert sells its three year EV code signing certificate for US$331.67 for three years, but the hardware token included bumps that up to US$995.
Aware the move could draw criticism, Microsoft points out these certificates are "not required" to build a reputation with its scanner, but will be advantageous in getting the all clear from SmartScreen.
"Detractors may claim that SmartScreen is "forcing" developers to spend money on certificates. It should be stressed that EV code signing certificates are not required to build or maintain reputation with SmartScreen," Haber said.
"Files signed with standard code signing certificates and even unsigned files continue to build reputation as they have since Application Reputation was introduced in IE9 last year. However, the presence of an EV code signing certificate is a strong indicator that the file was signed by an entity that has passed a rigorous validation process and was signed with hardware which allows our systems to establish reputation for that entity more quickly than unsigned or non-EV code signed programs."
Promoting the advantages, Microsoft also points out that the certificate allows the publisher to build up a reputation rather than each software package being required to.
"Code signing is important to our reputation intelligence because this higher level identity allows us to build reputation across multiple programs signed by a publisher. It is also important for publishers because signed programs inherit the reputation of the certificate with which they are signed; this means every program a publisher distributes doesn't need to build reputation individually."

Deciding what to do about an unplanned pregnancy can be very difficult. It may be made even more difficult by so-called "crisis pregnancy centers." These are fake clinics run by people who are anti-abortion. They have a history of giving women wrong, biased information to scare them into not having abortions.
These centers
* may not give you complete and correct information about all your options — abortion, adoption, and parenting
* may try to frighten you with misleading films and pictures to keep you from choosing abortion
* may lie to you about the medical and emotional effects of abortion
* may tell you that you are not pregnant even if you are. This may fool you into continuing your pregnancy without knowing it. If your decision is delayed, it could make abortion more risky. It could also keep you from getting early prenatal care.
* may discourage you from using certain methods of birth control that are very safe and effective
Crisis pregnancy centers often pretend to be real health care providers — but many are not. These fake clinics often trick women with false advertising. They may make women think they will be offered unbiased information and a full range of health services.
Crisis pregnancy centers also sometimes try to trick women by using names that are similar to the names of real reproductive health centers in the neighborhood. Many times, the crisis pregnancy centers are located very close to real reproductive health centers. This makes it easy for women to go to the crisis pregnancy center by mistake.
How do you avoid a crisis pregnancy center?
* Don't schedule an appointment unless you are sure it's a legitimate place.
* Ask friends, other health care providers, counselors, or other people you trust for the name of a real health center.
* If you are considering abortion, you can find a list of abortion providers on the National Abortion Federation website.
No health care provider should pressure you into a decision about your pregnancy. All real family planning clinics will give you information about all your options.
Staff at your local Planned Parenthood health center can help. They can give you information on all of your options — abortion, adoption, and parenting. And they can talk through your options with you so that you can make the decision that is best for you.
I love the bit about crisis pregnancy centers tricking women into believing they aren't pregnant. Are people really stupid enough to believe that line? Ok, maybe they are, I mean they believe that the government can fix the health care system. That aside, talk about the kettle calling the pot black. PPh accuses crisis pregnancy centers of providing biased if not false information to convince you to follow their recommendations while doing the very same to convince you to use planned parenthood's services.

- Automatic document feeder
- Monochrome scanner and easy print utility
- In-built Wi-Fi
- Fax functions
The high-performance but compact KX-MB2270 multifunction printer boasts high-speed printing/copying of up to 28 ppm in both simplex and duplex printing, the highest speed in its class. It also comes with an automatic document feeder, which can load up to 50 pages for scanning in small-sized formats such as A5 or A6 in addition to the standard A4 format. An extra manual tray for special use allows you to feed one sheet of any size from A6 format to envelope or post card.
The KX-MB2270 also comes equipped with a 10base-T/100base-TX Ethernet network port and built-in Wi-Fi wireless network function which can easily be configured once a Wi-Fi router is installed.
Quick duplexing
Printing on one side of a page can be wasteful and inefficient. That's why the KX-MB2270 features duplex printing capability. Conventional A4 size multi-function printers invert the pages one at a time, resulting in slow performance and poor productivity, the KX-MB2270 comes as standard with quick duplexing, making it possible to print both sides at virtually the same speed* as single-side printing.
*For all printers in the KX-MB2200 series, duplexing productivity is 100%.
A5/A6 compatible automatic document feeder
The KX-MB2270 is equipped with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder capable of handling the smaller A5 and A6 formats as well as A4. This capability is especially useful in doctors' offices and pharmacies where smaller documents are commonly used. It can also print onto the smaller A5 and A6 sizes.
500-sheet paper cassette
Usually compact MFPs designed to be used in small offices or home offices (SOHO) are equipped with a 250-sheet paper cassette, while commercial printing paper is normally supplied in 500-sheet packs. Despite its compact design and slim profile, the KX-MB2270 is equipped with large-capacity cassettes capable of holding a full pack of 500 sheets. So you can load all 500 sheets at once, and not have to leave open reams of paper lying around your office.
Eco mode
A dedicated ECO button is located on the control panel. When selected, the ECO button enables two energy-saving functions. First, the duration before the printer enters power save mode is set to one minute. At the same time the 2-in-1 and duplex copy modes are automatically set, effectively reducing both paper and power consumption.

Elegance with a subtle understated touch as opposed to ostentatious, ultra colorful outfits tend to dominate at the spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week and the latest Givenchy collection beautifully aligns with this unwritten standard, presenting a fabulous array of outfits in a much more relaxed approach from what designer Ricardo Tisci has created so far for the Givenchi label. Structured jackets, eye-catching textural details, metallic touches for a more spectacular effect, sheer touches or statement necklaces are some of the main style highli... Read More

3 cups of dried fruit (pitted dates, dried apricots, raisins, or dried fruit of choice) shredded coconut or finely chopped raw nuts
In food grinder, grind dried fruit until fine. Shape into small balls. Roll balls in shredded coconut, chopped nuts or both.
Dried fruits are rich in vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B6, and pantothenic acid) and minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium,
phosphorous, potassium, copper, manganese). They are also abundant in many anti-ageing and health protective phytochemcials. Due to the drying process they do lose some of their vitamin C content compared to fresh fruits.

The stars were out at RFK Stadium on Wednesday night at D.C. United hosted Italian giants AC Milan in an international friendly—and a spirited crowd of 30,367 spectators were treated to something that's been almost as rare as a superclub's visit this season: a United victory.
D.C. rode goals from Luciano Emilio, Chris Pontius and Danny Allsopp to a 3-2 win over the Rossoneri, though the muggy evening's real highlights were the tricks and flicks of Brazilian idol Ronaldinho and his calcio mates.
Watch: FULL MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
The tourists very nearly drew first blood on their maiden voyage into United territory. Barely a minute after kickoff, a slick interchange between Clarence Seedorf and Ronaldinho culminated in one of the Brazilian's trademark look-away passes, releasing Alexandre Pato behind the D.C. defense. Young goalkeeper Bill Hamid was up to the task, making a sharp save on Pato's angled drive.
Milan stroked the ball around the pitch imperiously as Ronaldinho, in particular, looked to delight the crowd with every touch. RFK buzzed in appreciation of the skill that won him FIFA World Player of the Year accolades in years past.
Meanwhile United struggled to sustain possession in the attacking end early on, only to utilize a more direct method to seize a shock lead in the 20th minute. With Milan slow to clear their lines after a free kick, Stephen King had ample time to float a cross to the far post that was headed across the face of goal by Pontius, stranding Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati as Emilio arrived at the back door to tap home from close range.
It was only United's ninth goal in 11 total matches this year—but the Black-and-Red doubled their pleasure 10 minutes later. The lively Pontius rose to meet a Santino Quaranta corner kick at the near post, beating Abbiati with a header that took a deflection off the back of Milan defender Ignazaio Abate.
Milan looked distinctly nonplussed at the turn of events and first Mathieu Flamini, then a flustered Abate were soon given sharp talking-tos—and in the latter's case, a yellow card as well—by referee Mark Kadlecik for crude hacks at Pontius.
Ronaldinho remained irrepressible, however, and the bucktoothed legend was sure he'd scored in first-half injury time after breaking free in the United box. He stabbed a low finish past the advancing Hamid, but Rodney Wallace scampered back and cleared the bid off his endline to keep the score at 2-0.
D.C. made wholesale changes at halftime and eventually emptied their bench to give everyone a run-out, while their Italian visitors chopped and changed more gradually as the second half unfolded.
Pato and Ronaldinho, the most notable absentees from Brazilian coach Dunga's World Cup roster, lit up RFK with another flash of magic early in the second half. Gliding past Devon McTavish, Pato found his elder countryman with an endline cutback. Ronaldinho touched the ball into the air before unleashing a swift overhead kick that left goalkeeper Troy Perkins a spectator. But the lovely shot caromed off the base of the right post as the fans groaned.
The game's next goal arrived in far more unsightly fashion. Milan right back Massimo Oddo's underhit back pass exposed goalkeeper Abbiati to pressure from Danny Allsopp, and the Australian blocked the clearance into the net.
Allsopp looked almost sheepish at the scrappy strike, but it switched the Rossoneri into action as they began to pour forward with menace that had been missing for most of the night.
First they earned a dubious penalty kick when the assistant referee judged Curt Morsink to have handled Mancini's scuffed cross in the D.C. box, with Oddo stepping up to stroke home from the spot.
Kadlecik's decision to heed his assistant's call brought boos raining down. And the crowd's dismay deepened when Brandon Barklage sustained a frightening-looking leg injury in a tangle with Mancini. With United out of reserves, they were forced to finish the evening a man down despite coach Curt Onalfo's entreaties to the fourth official.
Then Oddo struck again with a long-range drive that wrongfooted Perkins thanks to a late deflection, pushing the score to 3-2. The Italian defender almost registered a shock hat trick with an even better hit minutes later, a blistering full volley that fizzed just over the top.
Milan kept up the pressure but could not break even before the final whistle, though their supporters were hardly disappointed, cheering their stars well after the final whistle and flocking to the sideline when Ronaldinho strolled over and gave his match jersey to a lucky fan.

Thanks to Alistair Forbes for hosting SPF.
Sam peered at Tom, the brother he hadn't seen in almost nineteen-years. "You look the same Tom, you've weathered the years better than me."
Tom snorted. "We're still nearly a mirror image of each other. We're also in the same place we were nineteen-years-ago. How could you betray your own brother?"
"You were working for the Russian's Tom with Garig. I had to shoot you, leave you in prison — it was my duty. But you didn't die."
Tom snickered. "You'd like to have me dead wouldn't you? Things aren't exactly as they seem Sam. Now where's Chad?"
Both brothers heard the back exit door slam and the fire alarm go off shrilly. Tom pushed past Sam; he tackled Marrion and Chad.
Tom put a gun to Chad's head and threw Marrion to Sam. He shoved Chad into a life boat which began descending.
"I'm not your son," Chad said, his voice weak from blood-loss." Someone shot my tattoo. I'm not a nuclear bomb anymore. Leave me alone."
"Chad, I know you're my nephew. It used to make me so angry that Sam shot me almost fatally and I went to prison.But I escaped and I'm here now to help you."
"I didn't realize how undercover Sam was nearly nineteen-years ago. He didn't understand how deeply undercover I was and am."
"Garig put that chip in your tattoo making you into a nuclear bomb. Garig's the enemy, he always was; though he tried to make me appear to be." Tom said.
"I don't trust you. . . " Chad muttered. He'd lost so much blood he was surprised he was awake. Tom put new gauze on Chad's gunshot wound and wrapped bandages around his body, enclosing the wound securely.
"Here," Uncle Tom said. He handed Chad a chain necklace of the family crest."We're a loyal family Chad. I would never betray my country, or my ancestors."
"My friends are waiting Chad. My higher-ups will ensure Sam and Marrion get to where we're going. Together we need to defeat Garig once and for all. I want to come home."
Chad, as usual, found himself fading into unconsciousness.

The fact that Facebook's initial public offering is turning out to be a not so public affair after all has many sitting on the sidelines wondering how they can be involved.
The Menlo Park-based social-networking site is largely expected to begin selling shares of the company on the NASDAQ this Friday but most, if not all, of the stock expected to hit the market will not be available to the general public.
Instead a piece of the action behind the largest tech IPO ever is reserved for elite traders only.
But not anymore thanks to CNBC's Facebook IPO game.
NBC's sister financial network is showing of its stock geekiness with a Facebook game where anyone can guess what the company's closing price will be on the first day it trades on the open market.
Winners will be given an undisclosed prize and will have their name read live on air during CNBC's "Closing Bell" show on May 18th.
The game is taking entries right now -- no elite status required.

UPDATE: The wife and I went to see The Simpsons Movie last night, because the crowd to see Bourne Ulimatum was crazy, so we'll see that one soon enough. I want to watch the first two Bourne movies I have at home again anyway. I laughed pretty hard at the Simpsons flick. It didn't blow me away, but there were enough classic lines and scenes to make it worthwhile. It goes without saying that my dog will henceforth be known as "Harry Plopper."

Olmedo gets his first start hope he does okay same for Luma.
Three changes in the lineup today maybe to many.
Tell me why they brought up Thigpen they said he would play 2 or 3 times a week if they don't give him a chance we will never know how good he is.
Well Jordan did you get your wish,did your wife choose Bourne or Homer.
P.S. My wife would baby me and choose Bourne.
Sorry Jordan should have read your post first nice name for your dog.
How does everybody like the big hurt now,I say it's about time I guess the two days off did him wonders.
I watched the Giants vs Padres last night it was great to see Bonds get #755,last night.
Another outstanding outing from McGowan, who gets better and better each time out. Give this kid another 20 starts and watch out.
Outstanding stuff, at times totally overpowering. Don't be surprised if next year he wins 17-20 games and carries an era close to 2.00.
Great game from Stairs as well that is going to cause a dilemma for next year. It's nice to have Lind up here, but it's just as nice to have Stairs. Can we carry 5 outfielders? Tough decisison.
gsumner how did you like Olemado and Luna today myself I thought they both played a good game Olemado had a nice double he showed a little power whitch was nice they played well on defence.
What to do with Stairs he's like a kid again I think he can smell something.
The next three games will tell the tale if we can win the series it sure will help of course we will look for the sweep.
First things first-we need Boston to beat Seattle today, and then we're only 5 back in the wild card.
Then we need to take care of the Yanks-minimum of 2 of 3.
If both things happen, we're definately back in the race.
This series with Texas was huge. The problem with the Yank series is we have Litsche, Towers and then Halliday going. We need good starts from Litsche and Towers. We also need the bats to come alive in this series, because at the moment the Yanks are pounding it.
I re-watch Bourne Identity and Supremacy recently and they were as good as I remembered. Not many sequels that are just repackaged turned out as good as Supremacy did.
No doubt, this series with NY is crucial. The pitching match-up looks reasonable, especially Wang-Halladay, but yes, Towers and Litsch need to settle down and get the job done (especially Towers, as Clemens was tough last time). 5 games out of the WC – now that's exciting. Let's go Litsch! Let's go Towers!
What a great last 10 days, it's been to be a baseball fan.
Tom Glavin gets his 300th win.
Stray Rod gets his 500th HR
Barry Bonds matches Hank's hr record.
And Frank Thomas cracks the top 20 in Hr's.
well, hopefully we treat Clemens like Minnesota did. That will take some pressure off of Towers.
With Petite, we need Wells, Thomas and Glaus to have big games-they have hit well off of him in the past.
We need to get ahead early so both starters settle in.
So here's hoping!

Job Search: Pros and Cons of Online Social Networking
Your online image in social networking services is becoming as important as the customized cover letters and resumes you send in more familiar employment explorations. Get an edge by making sure you know how to use social networking technology — even if you have to take a class in it.
Benefits to social networking
Connect. Communicate. Collaborate. Find jobs. Hire employees. All these good things are ascribed to the rising phenomenon of online professional social networking services, which are changing the face of recruiting. Consider the following:
Both a personal and a corporate presence on a social network is a tool for success. Social networking services (such as Facebook or MySpace) originally became popular in 2002 as fun things to do among the younger set. Facebook and MySpace now encourage professionals in business, as well as fun seekers in their original base, to post online profiles.
Participation in professional online networks (such as LinkedIn) is an essential tool that links business people and careerists who know each other together in a Web of interconnections. LinkedIn has captured the prestige and numbers in the professional and business market.
In 2008, CNBC and LinkedIn sealed an alliance, in effect combining their business audiences. The deal followed an alliance months earlier between LinkedIn and The New York Times.
Other newspapers such as the Chicago Sun-Times are using social networking to offer reader forums, blogs, and communities.
Downsides to social networking
Online networking clearly is too gigantic to be ignored in an increasingly hypercompetitive job market. However, there are some concerns:
Networking fatigue. Some networkers have grown tired of what once was novel. The essential problem may be that they sign up for every new networking site in sight, and then find they're spending too much time keeping up with their sign-ups.
User frustration. Aggregating means combining and forming a whole; Web sites such as Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com aggregate content to make it easy for job hunters to search for specific advertised jobs. Although a host of start-ups are aggregating social networking profiles, online videos, and more, no dominant aggregator has appeared for social networking.
Eternal digital billboards. Like resumes, online profiles can stick around in cyberspace even after you've deleted an unflattering profile ("Look at me wasted after a pub crawl!" "Here's me, showing off my butt tattoos!"). Your profile "ghosts" can exist for years.
Narrow niche. Resumes and profiles can put a job seeker into a particular category that may be too rigid. So why not just try to say you're a one-person-band in your online profile or resume? Except for micro-sized companies, employers usually prefer to hire a specialist, not a jack of all trades.
Employers' legal risks. Employers fear legal exposure if, prior to meeting a candidate in person, they uncover information about the candidate's characteristics that can lead to discrimination in hiring — such as gender, age, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. Even when a hiring decision is made without bias, the employer may have to defend the non-hiring choice to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or in a court of law.
Recruiters' time management woes. Recruiters may source (find) candidates themselves or subcontract the work to professional sourcers. Scouring social networking sites, blogs, and other Web 2.0 resources eats up enormous amounts of time.
Although your online presence increases your visibility in the job market, it can also quash your chances of getting the job. Because your network is a reflection of you, be selective in keeping your network filled with individuals you'd be proud to stand next to.

"The calm sea is the Absolute; the same sea in waves is Divine Mother. She is time, space, and causation. God is Mother and has two natures, the conditioned and the unconditioned. As the former, She is God, nature, and soul (humanity). As the latter, She is unknown and unknowable. Out of the Unconditioned came the trinity god, nature, and soul, the triangle of existence…
A bit of Mother, a drop, was Krishna, another was Buddha, another was Christ. The worship of even one spark of Mother in our earthly mother leads to greatness. Worship Her if you want love and wisdom."
— Swami Vivekananda, Inspired Talks, July, 1895.
Manifestations of Her glory show in power of immeasurable might,
Throughout the universe, powers that swell the sea of birth and death,
Forces that change and break up the Unchanged and changed again.
Lo! Where shall we seek refuge, save in Her?
— Swami Vivekananda, from "Hymn to the Divine Mother"
