Please don't apply your standards of 'giggle and go' to something I post. Don't you know that's very naughty?
Take a look at Adye's comment instead of just throwing it out because you don't agree with it and have to denigrate everyything associated with Napoleon and by association, everything French.
Adye makes the comment that the British don't have a unified artillery system. That's one of the reasons that I posted it. They finally developed one afterwards, but were slow to do it. Adopting the block trail for field pieces, though not all of them, and the new limber and caisson, were certainly on the way to an excellent artillery system.
Instead of going off in a huff and becoming pointed in your comments without actually discussing anything useful (I'm used to you doing it, but others may not be), why not actually discuss the issues instead of making sweeping and usually inaccurate statements on artillery, artillery systems, and who actually developed material. You've been doing this to the French staff system for years and accomplishing nothing but muddying the waters. When you put your mind to it you're an excellent historian. When you act like this, especially to me who has worked with you for a few years, it does nothing but denigrate your own work. And I don't want to see that happen.
I don't care if you agree with me or not. But we should be able to discuss historic issues without you turning into nothing but an 'anti-' person. You're a much better historian than you are lately allowing yourself to be.
Lastly, don't forget than I am a supporter of you and your work and your friend as well.

Welcome to our 4-part series on Landing an Agency Job. We put this together because we know that the job hunting process can be challenging, especially in the competitive world of advertising. As industry veterans, we've pretty much seen it all: Comic Sans in resumes, shorts in interviews, and cover letters that still have leftover copy (and agency names) from previous applications. So, we decided to put together a few posts to help guide all of our fellow advertising fanatics on how to land the perfect job. First up? The dreaded cover letter.
In a nutshell, if a company requests a cover letter, write one.
This may seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised at the number of applicants who simply gloss over this part of the application process. Even if a cover letter isn't requested verbatim, it's still a good idea to write one. When an applicant doesn't take the time to write a cover letter, it makes employers think they're not serious. So why should we take the time to review that particular resume, no matter how sparkling it may be?
There are two reasons MBB requests cover letters. The first being we're genuinely interested in why you want the job and why you think you're a better fit than anyone else. Second, it's a good way to evaluate writing technique and grammar. Copywriters aren't the only ones who need to know this stuff. We're all in the business of communication here.
Now, for the letter itself – let's review some Do's and Don't of how to write a cover letter.
1. Customize, customize, customize.
It's easier than you think to spot a generic cover letter from a custom one. Here a few of the telltale signs (i.e. things you should avoid):
- References to "your company" – Take the time to fill in the company name.
- No specifics about the company or posted position – Don't just do your research, make sure we can tell that you did your research.
- "To Whom it May Concern" & "Dear Hiring Manager" – In this digital age, you should be able to find this information somewhere. Worst case scenario, call the office and ask to whom you should address your letter.
Yes, customizing your cover letter will require some extra time, but if it piques the hiring manager's interest in you and keeps them reading until the end? Well worth it, we say.
Now for HOW to customize (and to what extent). This is not a place to regurgitate your resume. We mostly just want to see that your skillset matches the job requirements. We're not looking for a book, but do want to see more than one paragraph. The best cover letters tell compelling stories (and don't start every sentence with "I").
2. Formatting.
The first thing here is to PDF that bad boy. On a few, albeit rare, occasions we've seen cover letters come through as word documents with track changes enabled. Not cool. Don't forget to spell check, re-read it, have someone else read it and then re-read it again to make sure everything makes sense. Ensure references to other companies have been removed. That one is especially important, because your starting point is likely a cover letter you've written for another position at another company- and that's perfectly fine. So, you've got a compelling, well-written, custom cover letter on your hands. Now what? Before firing away, ask yourself the following questions:
Do you feel qualified to do the job you're applying for?
- If "yes" – does your cover letter communicate this in a clear manner?
- Would a hiring manager reading your cover letter feel the same way?
- Have you addressed any perceived shortcomings about a lack of experience or skills in certain areas (if such shortcomings even exist)?
3. The Close.
End your cover letter by expressing your appreciation for their time and thanking them for their consideration. Avoid taking an aggressive approach here, stating that you will call to set up an interview. While you might think this paints you as a go-getter, it could come across as pushy. Remember, the ball is in their court, not yours. But after wowing with an impressive cover letter, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. That phone of yours will ring in due time.
And there you have it, folks: what to do and what not to do when writing your cover letters. Now let's move on to our resume writing guide so that you can make sure your resume is as polished as your interview shoes.

Panic attack, Eric?? Maybe afraid of coming things??
Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. was taken to a Washington hospital Thursday after experiencing "faintness and shortness of breath" during his regular morning meeting with senior staff at the Justice Department.
Holder was driven by a security detail to the MedStar Washington Hospital Center for treatment, officials said. He was described as "alert and conversing with his doctors," according to Brian Fallon, the attorney general's chief spokesman.
Fallon added that Holder was "resting comfortably and in good condition" and was expected to "undergo further evaluation." It was unclear how long he might be hospitalized.
Attorney General Eric Holder has been hospitalized after experiencing "faintness and shortness of breath," a spokesman said Thursday.
Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said Holder, 63, is "currently resting comfortably and in good condition."
He said the attorney general "began experiencing symptoms" during his regular morning meeting with senior staff.
"As a precaution, the Attorney General was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center to undergo further evaluation," he said.
Fallon said Holder is "alert and conversing with his doctors."
The office does not have additional information about Holder's condition at this time.

Thought I would experiment with my new slow cooker. I purchased a 3 quart recently and hadn't used it yet. I really wanted the 3 quart after much thought. The stores try to trick you into larger ones but this size just seemed ideal for the two of us.
Now on to the soup; it didn't come out quite how I was hoping but it was still very tasty. I used some tiny star pasta and against most of the advise I read online I added it from the start. Well, it kind of disintegrated so I suppose that wasn't the right approach. I would have added some meat but I didn't have any in the house so that would have made a difference too I am sure. I'll post it as I made it and will make it again soon with some alterations.
- 1 cup carrots
- 1/2 cup celery
- 1/4 cup onion
- 1 cup potatoes
- 1/2 cup lima beans
- 1/4 cup peas
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2 cup green beans
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1 can whole tomatoes
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- I added 1/4 cup mini star pasta but it fell apart so maybe skip this step!
- 1/4 tsp marjoram
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Prep veggies and cut to desired size; you can even use a mix of frozen vegetables if you prefer. Add to crock pot along with remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat for 6 – 8 hours.
Enjoy ~ Kimberly

Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom helped make her husband mayor. Now it's her turn to see how high she can climb.
2004-03-08 04:00:00 PDT New York -- Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom has been pulling every string in the New York media puppet show to get an invitation to the grand opening of the Time Warner Center, a glorified mall on Columbus Circle where the party of the year is happening in two days. She is excited about the prospect of so many bigwigs gathered in one place, the high quality of schmoozing it would offer - - and the fact that singer Jewel is to be the evening's entertainment.
"She dated Gavin a couple times," Guilfoyle Newsom says mischievously. "I want to go up to her and introduce myself: 'Hi, I married Gavin.' "
It has been looking bleak for scoring the prize; she is, after all, just three weeks into the New York game and a relative newbie. But never underestimate Guilfoyle Newsom.
"I got 'em," she crows the next day over the phone. "We're going."
Her source was a high-ranking exec at CNN, one of the three networks now employing her talents as an expert legal commentator. And one of the reasons she's so far from home in San Francisco and her husband, Mayor Gavin Newsom.
The line to get into the party is around the block, a fact that annoys the mercurial first lady of San Francisco to no end. "This is a black-tie event and we have to wait in a line? And how will we ever find Stanlee?"
She needs to locate the Newsoms' hometown friend, party thrower extraordinaire Stanlee Gatti, who has flown to New York just for the occasion. It's going to take some doing: There are supposedly 5,000 people on hand.
Keeping up with Guilfoyle Newsom at an event like this isn't easy. No small achievement. Despite her diminutive frame, she bulldozes through packed- tight partygoers, aided by the fact that mobs of men, stunned by her looks, part like a human Red Sea. One thunderstruck man walks directly up to her as if to say something and gets within inches of being nose to nose before Guilfoyle Newsom's icy stare turns him away.
"Men can be so idiotic," she growls, and then brightens as she finds her quarry -- a clique of CNN and Court TV brass on the fifth floor. She graciously introduces a visiting journalist to all, and provides the inside scoop on each person.
"Bill Hemmer is the morning anchor on CNN," she whispers excitedly. "He is going to be such a star."
But she puts on her most enchanting smile for CNN General Manager Princell Hair.
"How am I?" she beams dazzlingly. "I'm loving being on CNN!"
Hair is Guilfoyle's top boss at CNN, and obviously impressed with his new commentator. "What distinguishes the stars," he says, "is how well they are able to not just answer questions but also ask them. We are lucky to have her."
Asked if it helps that she has the visibility of being the first lady of San Francisco, he chuckles. "It doesn't hurt."
Rounds made, and Gatti located, Guilfoyle Newsom gives up on the quest to meet Jewel and becomes all about finding food, which has been scarce at the party. It's a short walk to the tony San Domenico restaurant on Central Park South. Her breath turning to steam in the frigid night, Guilfoyle Newsom crunches through dirty sidewalk snow in her stiletto heels and yanks open the door. "If I don't eat, I'm gonna die."
She was up at 5 a.m. for the first of three television appearances that day -- a spot on "Good Morning America," two hours anchoring Court TV and then a spot on CNN -- and it's now past 10 p.m. Guilfoyle Newsom's hummingbird metabolism is putting her in a tailspin.
"Do you see what I'm talking about?" the 34-year-old whispers theatrically, as the staff scrambles to find a table for her party. "This schedule is insane. I should have eaten hours ago."
Flanked by Gatti and People magazine PR director Nancy Valentino, she fidgets tomboy-like in her black lace cocktail dress as she is introduced to restaurant manager Maris Bocognano.
"Kimberly is married to the mayor of San Francisco," Gatti explains.
"Aha!" says Bocognano. "So do people call you 'first lady?' "
Guilfoyle Newsom collects herself, and smiles graciously. "I prefer the Italian version: prima donna."
People who know Guilfoyle Newsom, the Mission District-born daughter of an Irish cop and a Puerto Rican schoolteacher, would be hard pressed to pin the negative connotations of that tag on her. She may be married to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and hobnob with some fancy people, but Guilfoyle Newsom is no D.A. Barbie.
"This food is f -- amazing," she says happily in her smoky, TV-star- meets-valley-girl voice, as she inhales more than any size 4 should be able to. "Gavin would love this place. I need to bring him here next time he comes to town."
She checks her cell phone to see if she's gotten another of the several voice messages they exchange over the course of a day.
"I miss him, but he's doing great. He's kicking butt and I'm so proud of him. If I were there, he'd just be feeling guilty all the time that we never get to sit down for a meal."
The relative newlyweds set the San Francisco gossip machine in high gear when Guilfoyle Newsom accepted an anchoring job with Court TV soon after Newsom was elected. For her, it was the culmination of fielding a year's worth of job offers that came pouring in after her very visible participation -- both in court and on TV -- in the notorious dog-mauling case, for which she was one of the prosecutors. At the time, all job offers were firmly rebuffed, with Guilfoyle Newsom insisting that she needed to get through the mayor's race before she settled her own path.
When it led her to New York, speculation grew that the royal couple were splitting up; after all, what first lady wouldn't want to stick close to her husband?
Guilfoyle Newsom bristles at the notion.
"Why can't a couple have two major careers? And why is it weird for the woman to be the bicoastal one? Men do it all the time! To these people who question our marriage, I want to ask: How is your marriage doing? Mine is just fine. If you have respect and love for each other, there's no reason this can't work out great for everyone."
As dinner wears on, she frequently looks at her watch. "I'm usually in bed an hour ago," she frets. "I have to get up at 5. I can take a taxi."
Now that she has the hang of those yellow cars.
"When I first started working here they were going through that awful cold snap, and my cab got in an accident," she explains. "This lady in the other car, wearing a fur, jumped out and started banging on our window! I was like, 'Welcome to New York!' I also learned a lot that night about the light system in cabs. If the lights that say OFF DUTY are lit up, no way are they gonna pick you up. You might as well stop throwing yourself in front of them. I walked 22 blocks in the subzero weather because I just wanted to get home."
But she's adjusting. "Oh, I love it now, although I miss San Francisco, for sure. Gavin, our house, the good burritos."
These days, a spartan "executive apartment" (read: tiny kitchen and washer-dryer) is what passes for home. She plans to rent a one-bedroom in the Village within a few weeks. And when she comes back to San Francisco in early March for her birthday, she'll face another move. The Newsoms' house was recently sold.
"God, he needs to be out of there in a couple weeks and I have no idea where he'll go -- and he doesn't either." She shakes her head. "The mayor of San Francisco may end up living in a hotel for a while, until I can go help him find a new place."
Welcome to the world of the bicoastal marriage.
Sitting in the makeup chair at Court TV the next day, Guilfoyle Newsom is looking none the worse for her late night. She is already poring over stacks of briefings from the day's legal developments -- including the move to keep cameras out of the Scott Peterson trial.
"Don't the relatives have a right to hear the testimony?" she demands, as a makeup artist takes hot curlers out of her long, dark hair. "Don't the American people? I'm thinking of sponsoring a constitutional amendment to require cameras in all courtrooms!"
That would surely make her life easier. As anchor of Court TV's afternoon show "Both Sides," she spends two hours a day, Monday through Friday, observing trials around the country and providing commentary. She chose this job over other network offers because it would give her the opportunity to anchor a show, rather than just being a talking-head legal expert.
And Court TV hired her because it feared divine retribution.
"She marched into my office and started telling me about why we should hire her, reeling off these other networks that wanted her," says chief executive Henry Schleiff, chuckling. "And then the lights went out -- it was that huge power outage. So I figured I'd better hire her before any other major acts of God happened."
But to hire Guilfoyle Newsom as an anchor rather than a correspondent? That shows a high degree of faith in a newcomer's ability.
"It's true, but she is the most experienced ingenue I have ever met," says Schleiff. "She is very special -- a great marriage of passion and expertise."
Guilfoyle Newsom won't say how much she's paid, but it's now more than her politician husband, who cut the mayor's $168,900 salary by 15 percent when he took office. For a woman who was not raised with a silver spoon, and put herself through UC Davis and University of San Francisco Law School, this gives her an undignified amount of pleasure.
"Now Gavin has a sugar mama," she grins. "I've told him I'm putting him on an allowance."
While her hair is still being blown dry, she calls her co-anchor, Vinnie Politan. "I'm up in makeup. I'm in a brown suit with a peach sherbet top. ... You can't wear pink and blues -- it will clash with me!"
Her hair is primped for what seems like hours. "It's because my hair is more naturally wavy," she says, frowning, poking at her locks with a comb after the stylist has departed. "Gavin loves it when we're on vacation and I let it go natural. 'I like it wild!' is what he says."
Mention Newsom's much-maligned gel head, and she sighs. "His hair is gelled because it's so heavy and floppy and goes in his face, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. He has no idea he's a handsome, good-looking guy! He's always running around with torn pockets and dirty shoes. But it's just part of his charm."
She takes her spot in the "Both Sides" studio, sitting on a pillow and propping her feet on a box to bolster her petite frame, and almost vibrates with joy. "My last day with the district attorney's office was Jan. 8, three weeks ago," she marvels, before snapping to attention and delivering the show's welcoming remarks.
She and Politan are tuned into live court proceedings in Florida on a murder case involving senior citizens. They listen intently, for the most part, and joke off camera when the network goes to a commercial. She goads him into admitting that he sits on the right side because he thinks it's his better side. And he snaps back in the most guaranteed way to get Guilfoyle Newsom's goat: "Oh, just sit there and look pretty!"
And when it comes time to riff without cues, she is ready with detailed commentary. "This witness served the defense well," she states, and explains the intricacies of getting a jury's sympathies -- most of which are lost on non-lawyers. No nuance seems to escape her.
"Kimberly is an exceptionally fast learner," says Marlene Dann, the veteran TV producer in charge of Court TV's daytime lineup. "She is able to synthesize and analyze information like she's been doing it for years instead of weeks."
After the show she spends some time in her office downstairs at Court TV, which is still filled with unloaded boxes and two dozen roses from her father, Anthony. The card says, "I'm so proud of you." She also scans e-mails from home, noting that several friends have told her that the mayor is having a brilliant first month in office.
"These people who say they're surprised that Gavin is making all these great changes, I would say to them that I'm sorry you're surprised, but you clearly don't know him at all if you are. What he's doing with the gay marriages -- I told him he was like Robert Kennedy. He will be remembered for his work in civil rights."
Guilfoyle Newsom found herself in the line of fire defending her husband during what became a fairly ugly mayor's race. Even now it raises her ire.
"The people who insulted Gavin, they don't know him. They don't know s -- . I want to ask these people, 'who raised you? What has Gavin done that's so awful?'
"God bless him, I think it could be like this for four years. I am definitely tougher than him in some ways. I've got my mother's Puerto Rican temper and a lot of street smarts, and I won't let people I love get hurt if I can help it. Gavin is more naive and sensitive than I am. But that's why we're a good team."
Finally done with her day, Guilfoyle Newsom walks the three blocks to her executive apartment and goes straight to the stack of take-out menus on her coffee table, next to the latest Danielle Steel paperback.
"You come home feeling exhausted and beaten down, and what does the girl go for? Buffalo wings -- 10 for $4.95. Isn't that a good deal?"
There is a photo on the dining table of Talitha Callan, the Newsoms' 10- month-old niece. Does the first couple want children?
"I adore children. I used to teach. Gavin does, too. He worships Tali. But we made a decision to not have kids right away. We have plenty of time. And we both have a lot we want to do first."
Starting with a stack of laundry to sort. Even this reminds her of her man at home. "He got me these sweat pants because they say Swee' Pea on the back. He calls me that sometimes, also Kimbolaree and Kimbo. What a goof."
In her bathroom is some old-fashioned Maja dusting powder, the scent worn by her mother, who died when Guilfoyle Newsom was 10. "I didn't even know they made it anymore, but I found some in the Castro. It smells just like my mother. I put it on and I feel all warm and not lonely."
She pauses. "It does get a little lonely here. But I'll make some new friends when things calm down a little."
Saying goodbye to a reporter bound for San Francisco, her eyes well slightly. "Tell Gavin I send my love. Tell him I'm doing just fine."
And so she is, mostly -- despite the insane demands, and the separation from the city of her birth and the man who runs it these days. But Guilfoyle Newsom is clearly riding a rocket. Sacrifices must be made.
Jane Ganahl is in constant search of off-the-radar things to do, intriguing people to meet and events to witness in the Bay Area. Like Eliza Haywood, the editor of 18th Century London who wrote colorful commentary in the first-ever periodical by women, "The Female Spectator," Ganahl will tell the stories of the places she goes and the people she meets. For her debut, she went to New York to catch Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom, on the run and on the air.

After a long time we are watching an amazing piece of entertainment on Bollywood portfolio a movie Hichki, another education system based movie after "Taray Zameen Par". A refreshing entry of Rani Mukherji with having a disorder of Hiccups as nobody accepting her as normal person, she selected a challenging job of teaching.
Hichki gained a 7.5 rating on Imdb & 3.5/5 rating at Times of India with a great script, music & cinematography.
A great concept of blaming students that they are not ready to learn or having any guts to understand. The basic message of teaching method conveyed throughout the movie is something what we need to see that how a teacher can change a life of a dump student. She takes the challenge to take the class and as we can imagine a teacher with some disorder cannot be easily synchronized with students. People get annoyed, students making fun & she started getting weaker inside.
With the surrounded pressure, she regain with the passion and identify that the only thing matter is to change yourself and start believing the students she has. Here we see the magic, a great message for the third world countries, teachers has always a blaming behavior towards students that they don't learn just because they never connect or take them as responsibility. Imagine if we just start believing on the students what a generation we can raise who can participate in the society as responsible citizens along with some great career, interpersonal skills, confidence building & can make entrepreneurial mindsets.
The only thing missing in our society is we are not generating quality students & entrepreneurs who can take care of our tomorrow and can face the technology challenges we are going to have, it is all about grass-rooters like us. I am personally a great example of some great teachers, they are not alive but the believe they transferred towards me when I use to study in a Peela school anyone can check my little intro and understand what a teacher can raise no matter how big school you go for your entire life.
Hichki is a movie where it can set some standards for a middle class education system and a great message for teachers.

Topic Page: Gusmão, Xanana (1946 - )
East Timorese politician, president 2002–2007 and prime minister from 2007. Gusmão was head of the Frente Revoluciánaria do Timor Leste Independente (Fretilin; Revolutionary Front of an Independent East Timor) guerrilla movement from 1979 and president of the National Council of Timorese Resistance from 1998. After the overwhelming vote for East Timorese independence from Indonesia in 1999, he played a key role in constructing the new democracy and healing wounds caused by inter-ethnic fighting. He held a senior position in the United Nations administration that governed East Timor 1999–2002 and in late 2001 was elected to become the country's first president on independence in May 2002. He decided not to seek re-election as president in 2007 and was replaced by José Ramos-Horta in May 2007. Instead, he led the new National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction in the parliamentary elections and became prime minister in August 2007, leading a coalition government.
Born in Manatuto in Portuguese Timor, he was educated at a Jesuit school near Dili. After three years compulsory service in the colonial Portuguese forces, Gusmão worked briefly in local government and moved to Australia, before returning in 1975 to join the new Fretilin movement. After its guerrillas had been weakened during Indonesia's annexation of East Timor in 1975–76, he rebuilt their strength, using jungle bases, while also advocating peace negotiations and constructing political alliances. He was captured in 1992 and sentenced by the Indonesian authorities to 20 years' imprisonment for his armed attempts to establish a separate state. Under international pressure Gusmão was transferred to house arrest in Jakarta, Indonesia, in February 1999, and freed the following September. He stepped down as leader of Fretilin in August 2000.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Though still mostly a cult phenomenon here in the west, the Shin Megami Tensei series is steadily expanding outward. Atlus now hits us with their latest installment of the series, and Nintendo's handheld proves to be the perfect platform for one truly Strange Journey.
Devil Survivor was the first time the franchise came to DS, and it was an interesting mash-up of tried-and-true RPG and strategy gameplay that garnered praise from both critics and fans alike. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, however, harkens back to more traditional RPG roots, yet it's an adventure that is brimming with gameplay goodness.
You take on the role of an elite soldier sent to Antarctica as part of a team investigating a strange and dangerous anomaly code named: Schwarzwelt. Ultimately, your crew ends up trapped within the Schwarzwelt, and it's left up to you to find a means of escape, as well as discover the true nature of this hell on Earth.
The story of Strange Journey is compelling and poignant, though the dialogue is often filled with adolescent one-liners and gratuitous profanity. The game's rated M, but the content can be less than mature at times. There are certainly some chilling moments, however, and if you can grin through the cheap stuff, there's a thrilling adventure here to get caught up in.
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of the game's story is how it is weaved into the gameplay. Rather than simply giving players a splotch of dialogue and then sending them on their way to grind, the plot steers you toward new elements of combat and exploration that feel relevant. There are a few text-heavy exchanges between crew members, but these moments never came across as filler. You'll gain new abilities, as well as insight into your predicament each leg of the way.
At the heart of Strange Journey's gameplay is your Demonica suit, along with the Demon Summoning Program (DSP) that powers it. When out in the field, the Demonica suit is your lifeline, giving you the ability to map out your surroundings, locate enemies and items, as well as summon and fuse demons. The Shin Megami Tensei series has always revolved around a "collect 'em all" formula, with demon farming as its shtick. Some folks have labeled the games as being "Pokemon for grown-ups," though Strange Journey falls more in line with the likes of Dragon Warrior Monsters, to put not too fine a point on the matter.
The devil's in the details, though, and Strange Journey has lots and lots of meat on its bones. You'll need to lull demons into your confidence in order to persuade them to join your cause, but you can also use your negotiating skills to acquire items or simply to avoid combat altogether. There's a bit of trial and error involved in the process, but it's nice to have meaningful options when it comes to engaging the enemy.
Your party will generally consist of you and three demons, and you make your way around environments by moving along grid-based paths, á la Etrian Odyssey. Your Demonica suit features an auto-map function, and as the story progresses, you'll acquire new applications for the suit that will aide you in exploration. It's an absolutely excellent system, one that cuts through most of the level grinding and unnecessary busy work. The more you encounter or work alongside certain demons, the more you learn about them. Demon data is presented on the bottom screen when in battle, along with any weaknesses and strengths you may have uncovered along the way.
There's a lot to digest in Strange Journey – various ways to fuse demons, which plays into your strategy on the battlefield – and hunting for elements known as forma can become a consuming part of the gameplay. You'll constantly be treated to new gear and apps, though Strange Journey comes together as a well-balanced experience that doesn't rely too heavily on one particular device.
Combat is fairly straightforward, presented from a first-person perspective similar to the Dragon Quest games of yore. Elemental strengths and weaknesses, status effects, as well as various spells and skills – all the standard RPG fare is pretty much here. Combat is fun, though, and doled out accordingly. The dungeons are interesting and enjoyable to navigate, and there are ample demons eager to put you to work on side quests.
On the production front, Strange Journey is one heck-of-a-tight package. The menus are attractive and easy to sift through, with loads of new log entries appearing in your DSP from time to time. There's lots to see and do in the game, and though there seem to be quite a few sprites recycled from Devil Survivor, the overall visual presentation is quite lovely. Dungeons consist of detailed, 3D/2D environments that are varied up nicely, and the few CG cutscenes sprinkled throughout the game make Strange Journey feel like a complete RPG package.
I found the sound design to be especially pleasing, as it's chock-full of tasteful sound effects and moody themes. The breadth of music is quite robust, and themes are matched up well with the story and gameplay at hand; battles are exciting, whereas the music that accompanies most character interactions aboard your team's ship feeds a vibe of frightened desperation.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is a wonderful follow up to last year's Devil Survivor, and it will likely prove a to be a better value for fans hungry for a more conventional-RPG experience. The dialogue can occasionally be a stumbling block, but the underlying theme and gameplay ease past any bumps in the road. The game has its own quirky nature, though, and some folks might not fully appreciate its brand of monster collecting. Strange Journey does its own thing, but boy, does it do it well. If you're looking for an interesting challenge that will keep you rapt from start to finish, this is one adventure you won't want to miss.

Most people feel low occasionally. Feeling sad is a normal reaction to things going wrong or being upsetting. When these feelings continue, or get in the way of your life, it can become a problem.
Depression is usually caused by a mixture of events, distressing things happening in your life, being under a lot of stress and not being well supported.
As well as making a person feel sad, depression can make other problems seem worse. Bacause they feel depressed, people may not feel like doing the things they usually enjoy, or they may not feel like doing anything. Other effects may be tearfulness, difficulty in concentrating, change of appetite and neglect of personal appearance.
To the right are links to additional resources as suggested by Young People Cornwall's Hear Our Voice Project, they recommend these as a good starting point for more information, though many other good resources also exist.

Application Code Maintenance vs Re-Creation
Which would you rather do — maintain an existing application's code or create (maybe re-create) an application from scratch? Obviously, it would depend upon the complexity and size of the application, and perhaps the tools used to create the app — but I believe that at some point after an app has been in service for a while, it reachs a point where I'd rather re-create rather than do maintenance to bring it up-to-date.
It has been my experience that somewhere in the 5-10 years of use range between hardware changes, O/S changes, functionality additions, "bug" fixes and patchs for the various changes — it becomes time to "rebuild" the application. Again in my experience, what I have found is that the code appears to resemble more a patchwork quilt than that of a logical program by that time. This fact appears to be one of the best "selling" points to use when approaching the idea of re-writing an application with the management that will have to pay for it.
Our off-the-shelf software creators take care of this for us — we get what they want to give us — like it or not. I won't go off on a rant about application "bloat" (…which I am very capable of doing!). With our custom application programs we DO have an opportunity to evaluate and re-design according to the latest techniques, and add functionality (or not) in an orderly – maintainable – fashion. I don't suggest adding functionality "just because you can", yet if it "fits", if it adds to the useability of the application, then consider it.
There is many a program which I have re-written as the result of a re-evaluation of the application. Particularly I will choose to re-write when the application has become a "bear" to maintain. Sometimes the user sees no change, yet an application which can be easily maintained and is up-to-date with the technology is (at least in my book) always preferable.

Eli and I were having a discussion. He was upset because I wouldn't let him have this toy gun that he wanted. I explained that he wasn't allowed to play with guns – even pretend ones – as long as he lived with mommy and daddy. This is how the conversation went from there:
Eli: Well, can I have a gun when I'm grown up?
Me: If you choose to have a gun when you are grown up, then I guess you can get one?
Eli: Can I still live with you and daddy?
Me: When you're grown up, I doubt you'll still want to live with mommy and daddy.
Me: I would miss you, too, sweetie, but aren't you going to get married when you grow up?
Eli: Married?
Me: Yes. If you get married, is your wife going to live with us, too?
Eli: Well, I DO want to get married so I can have wedding cake, but my wife can't live with us because Georgia doesn't like strangers. My wife will just have to live someplace else.
Me: Okay. What if you have kids? Where are your kids going to live?
Eli: Kids? Well, I won't have kids. Only women can have babies in their tummies, right? I can't have a baby in my tummy.
Me: Well, it's a little more complicated than that.
Eli: How does the baby get in there, anyway?
Me: Well, the daddy puts the baby in the mommy's tummy.
Eli: Really? So daddy put me in your tummy?
Me: Yes, he did.
Eli: How did he get your tummy open to put me in there?
Me: ERIC! Come here! Eli has a question for you!
Then Eric came in and I said, "Eli wants to know how you got my tummy open to put a baby in there." Oh, I certainly wish I had a camera to capture the look on Eric's face at that moment.
His response was something like, "Well, hmmm, gee, there's ummm, well . . . . there's a special hug that mommies and daddies do." That's when I chimed in, "When they're married and love each other very much." Eric continued, "When they have this special hug, the daddy plants a seed in the mommy's tummy and it grows into a baby."
Eli: Really? So that's how we got Georgia?
Me: Yes, that's how we got Georgia.
Eli: Okay.
And off he went. As soon as he left the room, I saw the twinkle in Eric's eye, and I knew exactly what was coming. "So," he said. "You want a special hug?"

I first patronised this stall at Seah Im Food Centre when I was an undergraduate at NUS many years ago. Back then, at the end of a long day, I often had a strong craving for a plate of delicious Cheng Ji fried hokkien prawn mee with a glass of refreshing sugarcane juice for dinner. After I graduated and started working, I no longer patronised Seah Im Food Centre frequently. But having Cheng Ji fried hokkien mee occasionally still brings back plenty of sentimental memories from my university days.
I always ordered a plate of fried hokkien mee with an extra egg, costing $3 in total. Delightfully topped with generous servings of fresh prawns, sotong and fried egg, the mouthwatering noodles are exceptionally flavorful and impressively fried with a distinctive charred fragrance. The savory chilli paste is sweet and spicy and complements the tasty noodles very well.
Nostalgic feeling aside, Cheng Ji fried hokkien prawn mee is very sumptuous and value for money. My only dissatisfaction is that Cheng Ji charges 50 cents for extra chilli. Nevertheless it is still one of my favorite fried hokkien mee and I will certainly be coming back for more.

Holland Village San Lao Hor Fun
Better known for its XO fish head bee hoon, this famous stall at Holland Drive also has fantastic san lao hor fun (sliced fish hor fun). When I first tried it more than 5 years ago, I felt that it was the best san lao hor fun in Singapore.
When I went back there last week, I ordered the san lao hor fun which costs $6. Topped with generous servings of beanspouts and fish, the mouthwatering hor fun is impressively fried with a delightful fragrance and coated with a layer of flavorful gravy. The delicious fish slices are fresh and tasty and blend very well with the beanspouts and hor fun.
After so many years, Holland Village San Lao Hor Fun is still the best in Singapore. Although it is more expensive than other san lao hor fun, its extraordinary quality is unmatched and definitely worth your every dollar spent.

Bukit Merah Lane Mixed Seafood Mee Sua
In a coffee shop on the void deck of Blk 124 Bukit Merah Lane 1, there is a fish soup stall which has long queues during lunch time. Yet it has no name and has never been featured on any food blog. After walking past on a few occasions when I was on my way to Alexandra Village, I finally decided to try it for myself.
I ordered the mixed seafood mee sua which costs only $2.50 and comes with generous servings of fish, pork slices, pig liver, pig stomach and cabbage. I was initially skeptical about the lack of seafood in this so-called seafood soup but was impressed after tasting it. Well-brewed with the delightful sweetness of fish and pork ribs, the mouthwatering soup is exceptionally flavorful yet not overly fishy, oily or cloudy. The delicate mee sua absorbs the essence of the soup very well. The thick fish slices are extremely fresh and tender while the meat slices are well-marinated and tasty.
Overall this impressive mixed seafood soup mee sua is not only delicious but gives the best value for money. Just like the lunch time crowd, I will certainly be returning for more.

Shao Yu Tang BBQ Stingray Set Lunch
From 1130am to 4pm daily, Shao Yu Tang BBQ Seafood at Ang Mo Kio S-11 Food Centre has a special BBQ stingray set lunch for only $4.
Extraordinarily value for money, the BBQ stingray set lunch comes with a reasonably large piece of sambal BBQ stingray, fried egg, sambal fried long beans and plain rice. What distinguishes Shao Yu Tang BBQ stingray from other BBQ stingray is its exceptionally delicious sambal chilli. Accentuating the authentic flavour of BBQ stingray, the special sambal chilli is sensationally spicy and delightfully sweet with the subtle sourness of lime. The fresh stingray is expertly barbecued to the right consistency with flesh that is soft and tasty. Complete your sumptuous lunch with complementary side dishes of sambal fried long beans and fried egg.
Being a fan of barbecued seafood, I must admit that Shao Yu Tang BBQ Stingray is one of the best I have tasted in Singapore. And above all, the set lunch costs only $4. Nowhere else can you find BBQ stingray at this fabulous price. Come down to Ang Mo Kio Central and experience it for yourself today.

Thaksin Beef Noodle
With a flamboyant signboard that is so eye-catching, it is extremely difficult to miss Thaksin Beef Noodle at Seah Im Food Centre.
Thaksin Beef Noodle comes in 4 sizes: Standard at $3.50, Value at $4, Supreme at $5 and Super at $6.
Although this is a halal Thai beef noodle, its taste and ingredients are somewhat reminiscent of the Taiwanese la mian. Concentrated with the delightful essence of beef and the distinctive aroma of spices, the flavorful gravy complements the delicious noodles very well. The dried chilli flakes accentuate the authentic taste of the savory gravy, making every mouthful seem irresistable. To the satisfaction of beef lovers, the large chunks of stewed beef are tender and tasty.
Thaksin Beef Noodle is indeed special and outstanding. Do come down to Seah Im Food Centre and try it for yourself.

Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa
Bearing a striking resemblance to Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa
at Alexandra Village, this stall located in the food court of Depot Heights Shopping Centre has been featured on Singapore's Best Food Online Directory, although there was no mention if they were related.
A bowl of $4 Depot 108 claypot laksa comes in an enormous portion, more generous than Zhen Shan Mei's. Delightfully thick and savory, the coconut-filled gravy coats the delicate noodles, making every mouthful seem irresistable. The delicious laksa is well-complemented with a variety of ingredients including cockles, prawns and shredded chicken.
Depot 108 Claypot Laksa certainly has the makings of a great laksa but I still prefer Zhen Shan Mei's because its mouthwatering gravy is more spicy and authentic. Nevertheless if you have the craving for claypot laksa yet discouraged by the perpetual long queue at Zhen Shan Mei, do come down to try Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa today.

Hjh Maimunah Nasi Padang
Another famous Nasi Padang restaurant in Singapore, Hjh Maimunah did not leave me a good impression when I went there for dinner last year. During that time I felt that the dishes had too strong a scent of Indian spices which I disliked.
When I went there again for lunch with my colleagues recently, we ordered nasi padang with sambal goreng, sayur lodeh (lontong vegetables), curry chicken and sambal kerang (cockles).
The flavorful sambal goreng is a delightful combination of long beans, fried bean curd and tempeh marvellously fried with savory sambal chilli. The sayur lodeh with its coconut-scented gravy complement the plain rice very well. The curry chicken is extremely tender and tasty.
I loved the sambal kerang most as the cockles were irresistably sweet and juicy.
For an air-conditioned restaurant with a comfortable ambience, I must admit that the dishes are very reasonably priced. We paid around $15 inclusive of drinks. If you are a fan of nasi padang, do come down to Hjh Maimunah and experience it for yourself today.

Zhang Fa Fried Kway Teow
Better known as the fried hokkien mee stall behind the cheng tng stall, I had difficulty finding it when I went to Tanglin Halt Food Centre a fortnight ago. Never did I expect Zhang Fa to be so well concealed within the inner circle of stalls in the food centre until my friend pointed it out to me. Having tried the fried hokkien mee, I felt that it was delicious but certainly not fantastic. However fried kway teow was not only impressive but could easily qualify as one of Singapore's best fried kway teow.
I used to ponder what makes the best fried kway teow. Is it the texture of the noodles, the quality of the ingredients or the taste of the gravy? I found the answer in Zhang Fa fried kway teow: it's none of the above; it's the flavour of the kway teow.
While most fried kway teow comes coated with a layer of savory gravy, Zhang Fa fried kway teow, on the other hand, is dry and flavorful as if every strand is thoroughly infiltrated with the delightful essence of the sauces, not too salty, not too sweet, not too spicy, just right to tantalise my taste buds. It is easy to forget what the ingredients are because they are so well-blended with the irresistable kway teow, you will finish it before you know it. But I remembered that a $2 plate of fried kway teow comes with sausage slices, egg and cockles, thanks to the photo I took.
Sensationally sumptuous, Zhang Fa fried kway teow is one of the best fried kway teow that I have tasted for a long time. Come down to Tanglin Halt Food Centre and experience it for yourself today. If you can't find the stall, remember to search within the inner circle.

I wanted to try the TWCWIFI hotspot and see how it is. There is no TWCWIFI passport available in my list of available hotspots. There is however one TWCWIFI hotspot, BUT this TWCWIFI hotspot has no secure lock on it's wifi icon. I don't know if this is TWC or someone setting up a spoof TWC access point .
Should there be a secore wifi icon with TWCWIFI and TWCWIFI passpot?
I appreciate any comments. Thanks
Secure or not, both are spoofable.
Don't use an public wifi for anything that needs security.
I never used a public hotspot before as these can be spoofed and sniffed using tools like wireshark if the connection is not encrypted. Heck, even the NSA has spoof access pionts.
I always use the wifi at home.
However, I did wanted to try TWCWIFI, but when I saw no secure icon on this hotspot, I refuse to NOT connect to this hotspot.
If I ever do need to use wifi outside, I would opt for a VPN solution.
Anyway, thanks MsRaye for the reply.
let me check one near here and see if it's secure.
Most legitimate TWC hotspots used Ruckus AP's , you could hit up their IP and see if you get the login gui

I'm slowly getting my race schedule for 2013 put together, and last night I just registered for my first half of the year! I'll be running the 5th annual Maryland Half Marathon in May! I registered for the inaugural race 5 years ago but had to withdraw because I had injured myself in another half just three weeks prior. I must give them credit – while most race's entry fees have gone up year by year, this race has held its value – they're still charging exactly the same entry fee as they did 5 years ago! It's a fair bit flatter than Baltimore, although nowhere near as flat at Virginia Beach, so it'll be a good practice run for Baltimore this fall.
I have also registered for the Baltimore Women's Classic 5k in June – this will be my third running. It's a nice low-key-but-still-big event. It's the second longest running women's only race in the US and there are usually several thousand women running, from those running 5:00 miles to those walking 35:00 miles. This past year it was pretty toasty, even at 8:00am, and nasty humid, but it was still fun (even though I ran it completely untrained this past year – it was a good wake-up call for me). The bright side? Even if you're having an awful day, there's guaranteed to be someone behind you.
I have my eye on a few others, but should probably save up some money before registering for any more races… 🙂

After reading your article on the I-5 expansion, I decided to submit my long-held position on freeway expansions. Each time this issue comes up in Southern California, the results are predictable. Once the funds are approved and the program is implemented, and we suffer through the attendant traffic disruptions, the expected cost overruns, and of course the missed completion date, what do we have?
We have a wider freeway with an extra lane and instead of alleviating the traffic jams, we quickly fill the new lane and we return to square one. We have been conditioned to avoid the concept of establishing a light rail system. We are told that it is too expensive, obtaining property right-of-way is not feasible and of course it will not attract riders. The fact is that in Los Angeles and many sections of the Bay area, buses and light rail systems are proliferating and in fact providing more flexibility and convenience to intra-city travelers.
Anyone who travels internationally can't help but notice how the use of public transportation is the accepted mode of travel. The current coastal commuter rail line seems to be well used during the prime commuter times. Perhaps this system could be more functional if more stations were added to the route along with the establishment of a bus grid to link the various business and entertainment centers to the stations.
I am not the first person to note that the center of the freeways could provide an ideal location for a light rail system. Here we avoid the issues of land procurement and the sometimes very contentious right-of-way approvals. Will this approach be expensive? No doubt. However, when one considers the accumulated costs of road widening and the continuing failure to provide a solution to the growing traffic logjams, maybe the time has come to take a serious look at an alternate approach.
We, in Southern California, cling to our autos with a dedicated ferocity. The automobile manufactures gear their advertisements and the introduction of new models to the Southern California driver. Further, we seem to forget that it takes a tank of costly gasoline to keep these cars on the road. By the way, for some reason the people in San Diego pay more for their gasoline than those who live in Los Angeles and Orange County. Recently, while I was returning from Visalia, Calif., which is located near Fresno, I noticed that the price of gasoline was cheaper than what I pay in Carlsbad. On occasion, the comparative price of gasoline is discussed in a "letter to the editor." Never once have I read an acceptable justification for the higher price. It certainly can't be based on the size of the user community or the number of vehicles on the road. While the time is at hand for more fuel-resistant vehicles such as hybrids and all-electric vehicles, the traffic density will not decrease and we will continue to wait on bumper-to-bumper rush hour rides to and from work.
When I look around at other drivers in line I notice how many autos have only one person in them. They don't have an alternate way to get to work. Voters have taken aggressive stands on less important issues. Isn't this the time to make better use of the dollars we pay each year into the highway funds?

It is a question I frequently ask about our in-state prep football talent � Why do they leave the state to play in college?
It is a question I am frequently asked about our in-state prep football talent � Why do they leave the state to play in college?
The answer or answers are really quite simple.
It comes down to atmosphere and tradition.
No matter which direction you turn � North, South or West � the state of North Carolina is surrounded by programs that have better football atmospheres and/or better tradition.
That means a lot to a recruit. They want to play in front of large crowds, and most of all, they want to win.
�I mean 100,000 people pretty much speaks for itself,� Havelock senior running back Derrell Scott said Monday after committing to Tennessee. �When I went up for the Tennessee-Georgia game, it was definitely the best atmosphere of any of my visits.�
Year after year, many elite players elect to go out-of-state to play in college simply because the in-state schools don�t win enough or the environment is lackluster, compared to programs in the Southeastern Conference.
East Carolina seems to have the best football atmosphere in the state, but Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium only seats 50,000 patrons.
North Carolina and N.C. State probably are a wash for best tradition in the state, but neither has won a national championship or BCS bowl game.
Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill seats 62,980, the largest in the state, just beating Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh at 60,000.
Wallace-Wade in Durham seats 33,941 and Wake Forest�s BB&T Field at 31,500 is the smallest of the major N.C. schools.
If you go north of North Carolina, Virginia Tech has established a winning program, traditionally, though they are struggling now, and Lane Stadium seats 65,632.
Head south and The University of South Carolina, where Havelock quarterback Pharoh Cooper chose to play, has Williams-Brice Stadium that seats 80,250 and the Gamecocks consistently compete for SEC titles, despite not winning any lately.
You also have Clemson to the south, which plucks kids out of N.C., almost yearly.
Finally, go west to Tennessee and The University of Tennessee has its six national titles, and Neyland Stadium, a riverfront cathedral, that seats 102,455.
I�ve heard hundreds of kids at press conferences talk about atmosphere and playing in front of hundreds of thousands when making their decision.
North Carolina, with the success of the �Big Four� basketball schools (Duke, UNC, N.C. State and Wake Forest) is too deeply rooted as a basketball state that I don�t see that changing.
ECU is the only major school where football takes top priority.
So how can it change, in the words of legendary Raiders� owner Al Davis, �just win baby.�
N.C. State injected a shot of enthusiasm into its program with the hiring of former Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren last season, and then Doeren went 3-9 and winless in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Larry Fedora showed signs of promise at North Carolina, finishing strong and winning the Belk Bowl after a terrible start to the season.
The in-state programs in the best shape currently have to be David Cutcliffe�s Duke Blue Devils and Ruffin McNeill�s ECU Pirates.
Both Duke and ECU won 10 games this past season, but need to keep it going for a few more years to show a significant change in recruiting success.
North Carolina did land the Player of the Year in the state in Charlotte Catholic running back Elijah Hood, but only after he de-committed from Notre Dame.
Bottom line for the in-state schools is to build up your stadiums and create better atmospheres, and you will win more off the field in recruiting.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly series hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming book releases we can't wait to get our hands on.
This week's Waiting on Wednesday pick is all about teen witches (read: something we definitely need more of in literature): The Graces by Laure Eve!
Targeted at fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Craft, The Graces is all about a group of young, rich and glamorous witches, the people who love them and the people who want to be them. We're getting serious Heathers feels — yes, yes, and hells yes.
Could this be the rise of teen witches being cool again? It better be!
You can buy The Graces in stores both real and digital starting on September 6, 2016! Keep reading for the official synopsis.
When a glamorous family of teenage witches brings a mysterious new girl into their fold, they unwittingly nurture a powerful black magic that could destroy them all. This paranormal YA fantasy features intrigue, spells, and a devastating twist. In The Graces, the first rule of witchcraft states that if you want something badly enough, you can get it . . . no matter who has to pay.
Everyone loves the Graces. Fenrin, Thalia, and Summer Grace are captivating, wealthy, and glamorous. They've managed to cast a spell over not just their high school but also their entire town—and they're rumored to have powerful connections all over the world. If you're not in love with one of them, you want to be them. Especially River: the loner, new girl at school. She's different from her peers, who both revere and fear the Grace family. She wants to be a Grace more than anything. But what the Graces don't know is that River's presence in town is no accident.
This fabulously addictive fantasy combines sophisticated and haunting prose with a gut-punching twist that readers will be dying to discuss. Perfect for fans of We Were Liars as well as nostalgic classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the 1996 movie The Craft, The Graces marks the beginning of a new wave of teen witches.

WWE are on a roll as of late with parody comedy skits. Last week, we had the excellent Southpaw Regional Wrestling web sketches, and then this week's SmackDown brought us the hilarious reality TV parody "Total Bulls*** Bellas" with The Miz and Maryse.
The Miz's robotic John Cena impression was uncannily like him, and Maryse's portrayal of both Bella Twins simultaneously was an excellent piece of acting work as well as cinematography. Major props and praise to the cast and crew for creating something that truly made me laugh.
The Miz is my favorite present day roster star, and ever since his reinvention as the A-Lister, he has been nothing short of excellent both in and out of the ring. I have little doubt that he will be doing the honors come WrestleMania, but with the level of consistent quality he has given these past few years, surely, another WWE Championship would not go amiss at some point in the future.
Not strictly wrestling related, but good thoughts and prayers are in order for Jim Ross, whose wife of 24 years died aged 55 on Wednesday, after she was involved in an accident on her motorcycle two days earlier.
Jim Ross is undisputedly the voice of a generation for fans of a certain age and the gold standard bearer in the wrestling commentary world. To this day, he continues to provide entertainment through his friendly, entertaining, and informative weekly podcast. It is for these reasons that I was so very saddened by this news. In some ways, he feels like an old friend, and I am sure that many WWE fans feel the same. I would encourage any fans to send him a tweet to offer condolences in what can only be a time of absolute turmoil for him.
My prayers are with you, Mr. Ross.
So there you have it, my two choices for the week. What do YOU think are the Cheap Pop and Cheap Heat this week in professional wrestling? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Adam Whelehan was sentenced to life imprisonment on 25th April 2013 for the murder of his girlfriend, Natalie Jarvis. We don't have the full details of the sentence, but we do know that he was convicted after a trial and the tariff was set at 26 years. An overview of life sentences can be found here.
The murder appears to have been a brutal one – he stabbed Ms Jarvis 19 times in the neck. The motive is not clear, but appears to have been "in order to end their relationship". At his trial, he claimed that he was acting in self-defence, but this was obviously rejected by the jury. This meant that he could not get any credit for pleading guilty.
Why 26 years? The answer must be because he took a knife to the scene of the murder with the intention of using it. This causes the starting point to jump from 15 years (which it would otherwise have been) to 25 years. The extra year may be because of the brutality of the attack.
Was the sentence right? It is hard to say without fuller details, but it is likely that there will be an appeal (more details about how appeals work can be found here), not least because there is nothing to lose. One question that does arise is whether there should be such a steep jump from 15 to 25 years (the equivalent of a 20 year prison sentence at least) just because the murderer carried a knife with him?
As always, it should be remembered that this is a minimum tariff of 26 years. This does not mean that he will be released after 26 years, just that after 26 years he can apply to the Parole Board to be released, there is no guarantees. He won't be released after that until it is safe to do so.

Choosing the right facial skin care products is of vital importance if you want to get the most out of your products and the best results when it comes to achieving healthy skin. Choosing the right facial cleaner is one such decision that is really going to mean a lot to whether or not you have clear, clean and healthy skin. Here are the best facial skin care product cleansers that you should be considering, and the types of situations that they are ideal for. If you bring home the wrong cleaner, you're not going to be benefiting yourself in any way, and your complexion may suffer for it.
Purpose: Basic Cleanser
Best Product: Purpose Facial Cleaner
Why: You're going to find a lot of different facial skin care products out there, some that cost $50, some $30, and some less than $10. It turns out, the Purpose facial cleanser is an excellent example of good things coming inexpensively. This is an excellent all around cleanser for basic purposes. It is soap free and oil free, and it creates a wonderful lather that takes away dirt, oil and makeup without leaving your skin too dry. By keeping your skin properly moisturized, it prevents your skin from overproducing skin oils which is really nice. This is one I tried a few years ago and now I never go without it.
Purpose: Dry to Normal Skin
Best Product: Cetaphil Cleanser
Why: There are really no bells and whistles involved when it comes to this really mild product that is recommended by dermatologists because of how gentle it is. It is a really simple $10 cleaner that is creamy and natural rather than being loaded up with perfumes and chemicals. There are no skin irritants in this baby, and that means a lot when it comes to cleansing your skin properly.
Purpose: Oily Skin
Best Product: Clinique's Wash Away Gel
Why: Gel cleaners happen to work particularly well when it comes to oily skin because they are capable of absorbing up the excess oil in your skin. This is a truly classic cleanser that is capable of being a bit drying, however, so make sure that you test the product out before you spend a lot of money buying it up.
Purpose: Acne Problems
Best Product: Neutrogena's Oil Free Acne Cleanser
Why: Neutrogena may just be a drugstore based beauty brand, but it is definitely one of the best, and all of the facial skin care products that they produce are going to steer you in the right direction, hands down. You really cannot go wrong with this simple, no frills acne wash which is absolutely ideal for acne stricken skin, especially sensitive skin types.

Subscribe To The One American Idol Elimination That Still Bothers Randy Jackson Updates
I've already subscribed
Having left American Idol in 2013, Randy Jackson has had two years to look back and reflect on his time behind the judge's table. To be expected, he's got a lot to say about all the good things and the bad things, dawg, and it turns out he's still not quite over Jennifer Hudson getting eliminated back in Season 3.
In between sharing thoughts on Jordin Sparks and auditions where Alicia Keys songs were slaughtered, Randy Jackson talked about how Hudson's elimination gets to him the most.
Jennifer Hudson was my wow card that year, and I was gutted when she got eliminated because with her and Fantasia and LaToya [London], it was like we had our own version of the Supremes up there. And it gutted me because I really thought she could go all the way. But she's proven that she could and she has.
Boy, has she. Hudson followed up her American Idol loss with a career that has arguably eclipsed that of any of the reality series' actual winners over its 14 seasons. Just two years later, without even releasing a proper album, she landed the role of Effie White in Bill Condon's Dreamgirls and won both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for her stellar supporting performance. She then went on to continue her acting career, starring in films such as Winnie Mandela, Black Nativity and the recent Spike Lee joint Chi-Raq, and also appeared on TV series like Smash and Empire.
And that's not even mentioning her three albums and a plethora of performances on everything from the Super Bowl to The Oprah Winfrey Show. Plus, she might soon be playing Aretha Franklin for what will certainly be a high-profile biopic. It's impossible to know where she would be now had she actually beaten Fantasia for the top spot, but it's hard to imagine Hudson having a bigger presence across pop culture. What are Kris Allen and Lee DeWyze doing nowadays? (I know they're still putting out music.)
Fans of Randy Jackson were no doubt pumped to hear that the producer will be heading back to American Idol for Season 15, which will be the show's last outing. It's unclear just what he'll be doing in the show – although we hope it has something to do with William Hung – but here's what he told EW would be involved.
A lot of like, hot, steamy looks.
That was a given. Tune into American Idol's shortened swan song for its two-night premiere on Wednesday, January 6, and Thursday, January 7. Head here to see when the rest of your favorite shows are coming back in the next few months.

I have been having issues for a few months now with both of my feet tingling, sometimes causing me pain. Most times it is just tingling.
Also in my left upper leg I have pulsating feelings that are painful.
Both of these issues occur more when I am under stress and doctors have said it is stress, but I just cannot believe it.
Can someone help me out here and let me know if they have had any of these issues and the outcome?
My doctors say it will go away eventually, but I just do not beleive them and I am getting really freaked out about it. So much so that I have high anxiety most days and depression.
Any help would be appreciated!
