Mulder: We're too late. It's already been here.
Scully: Mulder, I hope you know what you are doing.
Mulder: Look, Scully, just like the other homes: Douglas fir, truncated, mounted, transformed into some sort of shrine; halls decked with boughs of holly; stockings hung by the chimney, with care.
Scully: You really think someone's been here?
Mulder: Someone or some THING.
Scully: Mulder, over here -- it's fruitcake.
Mulder: Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal.
Scully: It's O.K. There's a note attached: "Gonna find out who's naughty and nice."
Mulder: It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list.
Scully: Who? What are you talking about?
Mulder: Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid entity who could travel at great speed in a craft powered by antlered servants. Once each year, near the winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from the heavens to reward its followers and punish its disbelievers with jagged chunks of anthracite.
Scully: But that's legend, Mulder -- a story told by parents to frighten children. Surely, you don't believe it?
Mulder: Something was here tonite, Scully. Check out the bite marks on this gingerbread man. Whatever tore through this plate of cookies was massive -- and in a hurry.
Scully: It left crumbs everywhere. And look, Mulder, this milk glass has been completely drained.
Mulder: It gorged itself, Scully. It fed without remorse.
Scully: But why would they leave it milk and cookies?
Mulder: Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing can stop its wilding.
Scully: But if this thing does exist, how did it get in? The doors and windows were locked. There's no sign of forced entry.
Mulder: Unless I miss my guess, it came through the fireplace.
Scully: Wait a minute, Mulder. If you are saying some huge creature landed on the roof and came down the chimney, you're crazy. The flue is barely six inches wide. Nothing could get through there.
Mulder: But what if it could alter its shape, move in all directions.
Scully: You mean, like a bowl full of jelly?
Mulder: Exactly. Scully, I've never told anyone this, but when I was a child my home was visited. I saw the creature. It had long white strips of fur surrounding its ruddy, misshapen head. Its bloated torso was red and white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned away, and when I looked back it had somehow taken on the facial features of my father.
Scully: Impossible.
Mulder: I know what I saw. And that night it read my mind. It brought me a Mr. Potato Head, Scully. IT KNEW I WANTED A MR. POTATO HEAD.
Scully: I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to disregard the laws of physics. You want me to believe in some supernatural being who soars across the skies and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen to what you are saying. Do you understand the repercussions? If this gets out, they'll close the X-files.
Mulder: Scully, listen to me: It knows when you are sleeping. It knows when you're awake.
Scully: But we have no proof.
Mulder: Last year, on this exact date, S.E.T.I. radio telescopes detected bogeys in the airspace over twenty-seven states. The White House ordered a Condition Red.
Scully: But that was a meteor shower.
Mulder: Officially. Two days ago, eight prized Scandinavian reindeer vanished from the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Nobody - not even the zookeeper - was told about it. The government doesn't want people to know about Project Kringle. They fear that if this thing is proved to exist, then the public would stop spending half its annual income in a holiday shopping frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully,they cannot let the world believe this creature lives. There's too much at stake. They'll do whatever it takes to insure another silent night.
Scully: Mulder, I --
Mulder: Sh-h-h! Do you hear what I hear?
Scully: On the roof. It sounds like . . . a clatter.
Mulder: The truth is up there. Let's see what's the matter.

Barbie's Letter To Santa
Dear Santa,
Listen you fat little troll, I've been helping you out every year,
playing at being the perfect Christmas Present, wearing skimpy bathing
suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many tea
parties, and I hate to break it to ya Santa, but IT'S DEFINITELY PAY
BACK TIME! There had better be some changes around here this Christmas,
or I'm gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won't
wanna be around to smell it).
So, here's my holiday wish list for 1998, Santa.
1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized sweatshirt.
I'm sick of looking like a hooker. How much smaller are these bathing
suits gonna get? Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon
and velcro up your butt?
2. Real underwear that can be pulled on and off. Preferably white. What
bonehead at Mattel decided to cheap out and MOLD imitation underwear to
my skin?!? It looks like cellulite!
3. A REAL man... maybe GI JOE. Hell, I'd take Tickle-Me-Elmo over that
wimped-out excuse for a boy toy Ken. And what's with that earring anyway?
If I'm gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and me)
anatomically correct.
4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp
away once he is anatomically correct.
5. Breast reduction surgery. I don't care whose arm you have to twist,
just get it done.
6. A jog-bra. To wear until I get the surgery.
7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just don't cut it. How
about a systems analyst? Or better yet, a public relations senior
account exec!
8. A new, more 90's persona. Maybe "PMS Barbie", complete with a
miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a
bag of chips; "Animal Rights Barbie", with my very own paint gun,
fitted with a fake fur coat, bottle of spray on blood and handcuffs;
or "Stop Smoking Barbie," sporting a Nicotrol patch and equipped with
several packs of gum.
9. No more McDonald's endorsements. The grease is wrecking my vinyl.
10. Mattel stock options. It's been 37 years-I think I deserve it.
Okay Santa, that's it. Considering my valuable contribution to society, I
don't think these requests are out of line. If you disagree, then you can
find yourself a new bitch for next Christmas. It's that simple.
Yours Truly,
Ken's Letter To Santa
Dear Santa,
I understand that one of my colleagues has petitioned you
for changes in her contract, specifically asking for anatomical and
career changes. In addition, it is my understanding that disparaging
remarks were made about me, my ability to please, and some of my
fashion choices. I would like to take this opportunity to inform you
of some issues concerning Ms. Barbie, and some of my own needs and
First of all, I along with several other colleagues feel
Barbie DOES NOT deserve preferential treatment - the bitch has
everything. Along with Joe, Jem, Raggedy Ann & Andy, I DO NOT have
a dream house, corvette, evening gowns, and in some cases the ability
to change our hair style. I personally have only 3 outfits which I am
forced to mix and match at great length.
My decision to accessorize my outfits with an earring was my
decision and reflects my lifestyle choice.
I too would like a change in my career. Have you ever considered
"Decorator Ken", "Beauty Salon Ken", or "Out Of Work Actor Ken"? In
addition, there are several other avenues which could be considered such
"S&M Ken" , "Green Lantern Ken", "Circuit Ken", "Bear Ken", "Master Ken".
These would more accurately reflect my desires and perhaps open up new
markets. And as for Barbie needing bendable arms so she can "push me
away," I need bendable knees so I can kick the bitch to the curb.
Bendable knees would also be helpful for me in other situations - we've
talked about this issue before.
In closing, I would like to point out that any further concessions
to the blond bimbo from hell will result in action be taken by myself and
others. And Barbie can forget about having Joe - he's mine, at least that's
what he said last night.

Michele reposted her classic rewrite of one of the holiday season's favorite TV specials. Excerpt:
So what happens? Does Rudolph finally have enough of the bullying and dons a trenchcoat, listens to Marilyn Manson and mows down his enemies? No, Rudolph goes off on an adventure. He escapes his problems instead of confronting them. When you think about it, running away on adventure isn't so bad, as he could have turned to a life on the streets, doing "favors" for old barflys in exchange for salt licks.
I really missed Michele's blogging during her absence. And her post put me in mind to repost an old image:

Another study by the American Medical Association found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
This means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be An American.

To any and all who read this: last weekend while out and about, I heard a bit on the radio which I supposed could be called "The Shatner Before Christmas". Actually, I don't know what it was named, I'm just guessing. Anyway, it was a comedian spoofing Shatner's inimitable delivery doing a Star Trek: TOS version of The Night Before Christmas. I've searched around the Intertubes and haven't been able to find the audio yet in any format. Here are some particulars of the bit:
- "Kirk" does the whole narration, mentioningg Uhura, Spock and Bones by name
- Klingon C(K?)laus makes an appearance
- Kirk's gift is "a girdle with a message that said 'Just your size'"
- Kirk then blows Klingon Claus to smithereens with photon torpedoes
No, I can't remember which radio station I was listening to, as I was busy trying to avoid commercials. If I knew which station it was, I could call the station and ask. Anyway, has anyone else heard this? More to the point, does anyone know what it's actually called and where I can find it?

Little Tony was staying with his grandmother for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?"
She was a little taken back, but decided to just tell him the truth. " It's call sexual intercourse, darling."
Little Tony just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to play with the other kids. a Few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's call Bunk Beds, and Jimmy's mommy wants to talk to you!

"I have never understood why anyone would roast the turkey and shuck the clams and crisp the croutons and shell the peas and candy thesweets and compote the cranberries and bake the pies and clear the table and wash the dishes and fall into bed exhausted when they could just as easily sit back and enjoy a hamburger or a pork sandwich."

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.
We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we've figured a better way to get our own back: We've launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.
No more of those crap quality videos you've been posting. We're giving you the real thing - HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.
What's more, we're taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what's even more, we're letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there!
But we want something in return.
None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.
Time to finish with one of my all time favorites below the fold.

Like many men, I am different from my wife in ways which are noticeable, and, in my opinion, fortunate.
Take the Thanksgiving turkey (and I mean that literally. PLEASE come over to our house, open the refrigerator, shove aside everything growing green fuzz, and take this carcass away before it reincarnates as turkey lasagna or turkey tetracycline or whatever new concoction awaits the family.) But take Thanksgiving--my wife prefers small birds that fit nicely into the roasting pan and which can be cooked in a few hours.
"Ha!" I can be quoted as sneering. I trace my own gender lineage to that proud, hairy group of hunter-gatherers who, prior to the invention of TV remote control, would pick up their spears, huddle, and then go out and pull down a huge bison for dinner, stopping at the bar on the way home for a couple of cave brews. So when I go to the store for a turkey, I find a TURKEY: a mammoth, many-pound fowl with drum sticks as large as my thighs and wings you could park a car under.
Words cannot describe the delight on my wife's face when my neighbors help me carry the bird into the refrigerator, where, following the instructions, it is left to thaw for a period of six months. (My wife often has several interesting but impractical suggestions on where else we might stick the turkey for this thawing procedure.) Cooking begins around Halloween, a slow roasting process which varies from my mother's recipe in that there are no flames or threats of divorce "if anybody says a word about how the turkey tastes."
I enjoy every step of turkey preparation, particularly since I am not involved in any of it. Well, that's not entirely true--at one point, I am asked to reach into the mouth of the turkey and retrieve the giblets, which turns out to be a bag of what looks like pieces of Jimmy Hoffa. (I realize I am not, technically speaking, putting my hand in the bird's "mouth," but I'd rather not dwell on what this means.) How the turkey manages to swallow this stuff in the first place is beyond me. Traditionally, we open this bag, dump the contents into a pan of water, and boil the results. Only the cat is happy about this development.
As wonderful as this all is, by the fourth or fifth night my appetite for turkey variations has waned, and I provide valuable feedback to my wife by making gagging noises at dinner time. Her verbal (as opposed to projectile) response to this is to imply that it is somehow MY fault we have so many leftovers, to which I logically reply, "hey, YOU cooked it."
Now, before you men out there become too smug with how adroitly I out maneuvered her with my quick retort, you should be advised that she STILL blames me for our turkey-induced bulimia. Therefore I appeal to my readership: has anyone else noticed bizarre psychiatric reactions to turkey consumption which might explain this whole controversy? Please advise via return e-mail, which will be picked up by the crack WBC technical team and, judging by previous results, forwarded to the Governor of New Jersey.
Thanks... oh, and Happy Thanksgiving too.

Step 2: Take a drink of whiskey, scotch, or JD
Step 3: Put turkey in the oven
Step 4: Take another 2 drinks of whiskey
Step 5: Set the degree at 375 ovens
Step 6: Take 3 more whiskeys of drink
Step 7: Turn oven the on
Step 8: Take 4 whisks of drinky
Step 9: Turk the bastey
Step 10: Whiskey another bottle of get
Step 11: Stick a turkey in the thermometer
Step 12: Glass yourself a pour of whiskey
Step 13: Bake the whiskey for 4 hours
Step 14: Take the oven out of the turkey
Step 15: Take the oven out of the turkey
Step 16: Floor the turkey up off the pick
Step 17: Turk the carvey
Step 18: Get yourself another scottle of botch
Step 19: Tet the sable and pour yourself a glass of turkey(Ed. note: this didn't used to be possible)
Update: More on this here.
Step 20: Bless the saying, pass and eat out

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here.
They will reclaim all in their name;
Hopes turn to black when they come back.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again
Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom
Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice
I still don't know why anyone voted for the lesser evil on November 4. Just imagine the debates between Cthulu, McCain and Obama. Of course, they'd have been cut short when the Old One used its tentacles to rend the other two limb from limb, but just think of the possibilities.

Trick or treat?"
Self-hating dogs for Glenn.
Newly registered Democrat voters in Ohio display their support for Obama.

You can choose a reliable research paper writing service after carrying out some search and weighing your options. It is important to weigh the pros and cons of different options because all of them have different advantages and limitations. Some services would have high quality and high prices so you cannot afford to hire them. Others may have low prices in your budget range but they compromise on the quality of the work. This article will talk about various service providers who you can use for writing your research paper. We will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of all of them so that you can choose the one that suits you the best
- Professional writing agencies
- Freelance writers
- Your friends on social media networking sites
- Blogs and discussion forums

Specify your requirements so that interested candidates can get back to you with their quote. When working with a freelancer, you are not sure of the liability and the payment policy. Try to have a safe and secure payment method and policy if you hire a freelancer
You definitely have accounts on one or more social media networking sites. Ask your friends and acquaintances to help you with a research paper

In this post I will present a quite nice proof of the following fact from elementary number theory:
Theorem 1 Let be a prime number. There are such that if and only if is a quadratic residue .
Recall that is a quadratic residue if there exist such that , or equivalently if . I recently learned a short proof of Theorem 1 using a nice result of Minkowski in geometry.
One of the directions of Theorem 1 is quite simple: if there are such that , then is co-prime to and hence there exists such that . We have
Therefore is a multiple of and hence . In the next section I will give an elementary proof of the other direction. Observe that, as a corollary of Theorem 1 we obtain the following:
Corollary 2 There are infinitely many primes of the form .
Proof: Assume, for the sake of a contradiction, that there are only finitely many primes, say . Note that is in this list. Let
Observe that , so is odd. Let be a prime that divides . Then is odd, and hence it is not on the list (because otherwise would divide and ). However, is a quadratic residue and by Theorem 1 is of the form , which is the desired contradiction.
— 1. From number theory to geometry —
Let be a prime number for which is a quadratic residue. The idea to prove (the hard direction of) Theorem 1 is that it suffices to find such that
With this in mind we define the sets
We need to show that . Let be such that and . Note that both and . Let be the subgroup of generated by and and note that . Let be the parallelogram with vertices . In other words
Observe that translations of by elements in form a tilling of the plane. More precisely, I claim that for any there exists some point such that . Indeed, let
where is the unique integer in the interval and . Then , and
which proves the claim. We now turn to . Adopting the usual convention
We find that the area of the ellipse is . On the other hand, the area of the parallelogram is . Thinking again of the tilling of by shifts of , we conclude that there exist two points in which belong to different shifts of the same point in . More precisely, there exist and such that
Since is an ellipse centered at we conclude that and thus . The point just found is then in both and and is not , so we have (because is not a square, so can't be and neither can ) and as desired.
— 2. Minkowski theorem —
In this less elementary section I will explore the argument used in the previous section and formalize it. Let . A lattice in is a discrete subgroup which linearly generates the whole as a vector space over or, equivalently, it is a subgroup such that the quotient group is compact (for the quotient topology). We will denote by the natural projection from to .
As an example take and let be the set in the proof of Theorem 1 above. Another example is when . A non-example is , still with , because the quotient space can be identified with an infinite vertical strip of width and is not compact.
Lemma 3 Let , let be a lattice in and let be the quotient group. Denote by the (-dimensional) Lebesgue measure and, for a Borel set , let
Then is (a normalization of) the Haar measure in .
Proof: We have trivially that and for every measurable set . Thus all that is needed for to be a measure is being countably additive.
Let be a sequence of disjoint measurable sets in and let . Fix and, for each , let be such that and . Intersecting with if needed, we can assume that is a disjoint family (to see this, assume , then which is a contradiction). Thus we have that has measure
Since and was arbitrary, we conclude that .
To prove the other inequality, let be such that and . For each , let . Since , we have . Thus for each . Since are disjoint, then also are disjoint. Summing over we deduce
Since is arbitrary we have . This implies that is a measure on .
The fact that is invariant follows directly from the fact that is invariant and is a group homomorphism.
Equivalently one can identify with a subset of (a fundamental domain) and take to be the restriction of to , but we will not do this here.
We can now formulate Minkowski's theorem, which is really behind the proof of Theorem 1:
Theorem 4 (Minkowski) Let and let be a lattice in . Let and let be the normalization of the Haar measure on given by (1). Let be symmetric with respect to the origin and convex. If , there exists a nonzero point .
Proof: Let . Then and I claim that there exist two points such that .
To see this we can use equation (1) to find a set such that and . For each define
Since we have that for every there exists some such that and hence for some . In particular we have that
and hence
Using the fact that is translation invariant we deduce that
But we have that , by construction. Thus the sets can not be disjoint. Let be in and such that and let be in that intersection. Then both are in and , proving the claim.
So let be such that . Then also because is symmetric with respect to the origin, and hence so is . Since is convex we conclude that .
The method from this post illustrates how one can use a variety of tools, from measure theory and geometry to algebra, to deduce a result in number theory. It looks like this could be the beginning of general result, but the fact that the set in the proof of Theorem 1 is a lattice does not generalize to higher dimensions. One can still find a lattice of solutions for the local restriction, but the volume of the fundamental domain will be of the form , which does not work well with the rest of the argument.

West Lake Restortopia
Relish the park of forests!
Overall environment ★★★★
Lodging environment ★★★★
Service ★★★★
Food and beverages ★★★★
Covering around 0.6 square kilometers, the West Lake Restortopia is nothing like regular city hotels. It has a European garden, green valleys, hiking paths, and a forest. Arriving here is as if arriving at a forest paradise, where visitors have unlimited resources of Phytoncid to breathe in.
Park of fairytales
At the resortopia, there are three types of accommodation to choose from: the Pine Garden House, the West Lake Resort Hotel, or the Dutch Wooden Houses. Moreover, there are plentiful leisure facilities as well as fairytale theme parks, for visitors to experience the stories created by Hans Christian Anderson while staying at the resortopia. There are the Fantasy World of Hans Christian Anderson, the Hope Castle, which is the theme for the Little Match Girl, the Butterfly Garden, which is the secret garden of the Thumbelina, the Luckiness Squire, which is the colorful underwater world, the Mermaid Palace, the Joyful Bubble Pool, the Mermaid World, etc. There are many multimedia hardware that introduces the world of Hans Christian Anderson to the visitors, which is suitable for families.
Excessively romantic Tung Blossom Suit
Guest rooms at the Pine Garden House are mostly for two. Located next to the European Gardens, there is a romantic view from the balconies. As for the West Lake Resort Hotel which is located inside the forest, it is designed with a strong European taste, whereas the classic guest rooms open up directly towards the natural scenery. The Dutch Wooden Houses with high ceilings such as the Dutch barns, where birds and flowers reside. The surrounding environment is extremely comfortable, and visitors can even hear the birds chirping in the woods. The Tung Blossom Suit is strikingly romantic, being decorated entirely with flowers. The most exciting part is the 20,000 artificial flowers blanketing the floor as LED lights glow through them. Room guests will be surrounded with flowers all year long.
The resortopia has a park ample in space as well as natural resources. With the application of ecological engineering, the park is harmless to the environment and ecosystems. Butterflies hovering in the flower gardens make it feel like nothing but Utopia. From April to November every year, fireflies can be seen at night. Moreover, participate in the Insectarium, outdoors DIY classroom where you get the chance to paint your own bug-shaped piggybank or butterfly, make your own firefly-like lantern, and make a sand-painting of mermaids.
Other must-sees include the Victoria Hall, a building that preserves Hakka oil-paper umbrellas as well as the style of Master Lan-shan; the tunnel for prayers and wishes at the Ling-Shan Cave which style is designed according to Japanese households and Chinese religions; the Wild Field Playground where everything is made from sleeper wood; there is an Observatory Tower where visitors can take in the entire view of the park.

Oh, rainbows. What is your magic? What is it that you do to me?
Sure, you are special, rare, and perhaps the reason why I sometimes fantasize about living in the Pacific Northwest.
I am not alone in being mesmerized by your formation. Magical folklore is written on you from centuries past. (All you science-y types here are probably being all like, 'well, actually, atmosphere and light spectrum blah blah and it is very easy to explain why the sky is blue,' blah blah. I am ignoring you.)
I used to draw rainbows when I was a kid, every time some cranky adult would say, 'Shh. Go sit in the corner and color,' (please use imaginary old man grandpa grumpy and annoyed voice when you read that phrase).

James Corden takes a shift at mattress store, snuggles with customers
James Corden, host of The Late Late Show, dropped by a mattress store in the Los Angeles area to take a brief shift.
The comedian seems more invested in the private lives of his newfound customers than selling mattresses, which leads to more than a few awkward and hilarious conversations.
After his time at the store ended, Corden filmed a funny and over-produced commercial for the store, which you can watch below.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. -- Back-to-back two-run home runs and good pitching lifted Georgia Southwestern softball team to their first quarterfinal win in 10 years in the Peach Belt Conference tournament as the Lady Canes defeated Columbus State 7-4 Friday afternoon inside Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium.
Head coach Nicki Levering picked up her first postseason win in just her second year coaching the Lady Canes. GSW's first postseason win came in 2009 under head coach Eddie Ward, who defeated UNC Pembroke 2-0 in 12 innings.
GSW ended the regular season losing both doubleheaders at Columbus State in five innings but the Lady Canes got sweet revenge, defeating the Cougars for the fifth time in school history. GSW's last win over Columbus State was in 2014.
The Lady Canes reached the semifinals for the first time in school history as they will play Young Harris in round two of the PBC Tournament.
How It Happened:
The Lady Canes were in scoring position in the first inning when Hayley Tierce doubled into centerfield, advancing Chloe Zoeller, who was walked, to third base but was surrendered on a Lauren Kuerzi pop up for the third out and couldn't score. In the top of the third with one out and Shannon Gibson on base, Kayla Kerr hit a two-run homer over the left field wall to put the Lady Canes on the board first. Tierce was walked and Kuerzi went down swinging for the second out of the inning as Sarah Beth King approached the plate. King shattered one right over the center field's head out the ball park for another two-run homer that put GSW up 4-0 to end the inning. Columbus State scored in the bottom of the third off a throwing error by Gibson, as the runners advanced and crossed home plate for a 4-1 score. CSU's Kirstin Reynolds picked up a sacrifice fly RBI in the bottom of the fourth that cut the score in half.
The Cougars picked up both of their errors in the top of the sixth inning as GSW capitalized off them, scoring three runs to extend the lead. After a Cougar pitching change, Aimee Oglesby singled to short stop. Briana Bryson went up to SAC bunt but successfully reached base on a Cougar throwing error as that led Oglesby to advancing to third base. Mackenzy McFarland picked up an RBI as she reached base on fielder's choice that pushed Oglesby across the plate while Bryson and McFarland both advanced, stealing a base. Gibson followed suit with a bunt RBI herself, scoring Bryson. McFarland advanced to third but due to another throwing error, she ran into home as the Lady Canes led 7-2.
In the bottom sixth, CSU's Elyse Ambrose reached base with a single up the middle. Elizabeth Perdue followed up with a single into right field to put the Cougars in scoring position with no outs. With an 0-2 count, Reynolds hit a two-run double down the left field line to push two Cougars across the plate for a 7-4 score. Jennifer Jernigan was sent in to relief Gibson and closed the game, securing GSW's win.
Who Stood Out:
Gibson picked up her 11th win of the season inside the circle while giving up six hits and four runs and striking out three batters. Jernigan got her second save of the season while striking out two Cougars and walking two. Kerr and King were both 1-for-3 with one home run, one run and two RBIs each.
The Cougars tallied for a total of 12 strikeouts while only giving up five GSW hits as both teams finished with two errors.

I can honestly say that Melissa and I did not fully know what to expect from the show. We thought we knew what we were in store from watching episodes of the sister shows, Ammo & Attitude and The Right Stuff but every day was another surprise!
We learned a lot about what we were good at and what we needed to work on. We also learned a lot about us. It was a very frustrating experience sometimes but very rewarding at the same time. Doing it together really made us appreciate each other more I think. We supported each other fully and propped each other up when we needed it.
The challenges and competition was fantastic! There wasn't your typical reality TV drama between the contestants….just the opposite in fact. We quickly became friends, joking around with each other daily and bonding after each day. Everyone was very supportive and we all left camp close friends!
Shot To The Heart offers an interesting twist on outdoor sports and shooting competition. You have to practice a totally different strategy then you would if you were competing by yourself. The emotion can be at a higher level when you are participating with your spouse. Melissa and I cheered each other when individually we did well and we supported each other lovingly when we did poorly. All in all, I would highly recommend Shot To The Heart to every couple out there! It will test you individually and test your teamwork under pressure and stressful situations!Melissa & Daniel Stewart
When we showed up to be contestants on Shot to the Heart we didn't know what to expect or what we had gotten ourselves in to. Our goal was to get past the first challenge and not totally embarrass each other or our family and friends. What we never expected was to have gained an experience that we will never forget or ever stop telling our kids about. The lifelong, new friendships we have gained are a prize in itself that we will cherish beyond anything that could have a price tag. We were so blessed to have this opportunity and it is one we will forever remember and share with those we love and anyone willing to listen. 😉George and Amy Voorhees

In November 2010, the Municipality of Ignace became the first municipality in Canada to "express interest" in the Nuclear Waste Management Organization's program to find a location and then construct a "deep geological repository" for the burial of all of Canada's highly radioactive nuclear fuel waste. In November 2013, as part of "Step 3" of the NWMO siting process, 647 square kilometres of crown land in four blocks surrounding Ignace were set aside for detailed study as potential nuclear waste burial sites.
Concerned about nuclear waste coming to Ignace? Let's talk about it.
Wednesday, August 12th
Drop In and Information Sharing 2 – 5 pm
Presentation and Community Roundtable 7 – 9 pm
Multi-Purpose Room, Ignace Public Library

The Cookstr Weekly: That's Amore
February 21, 2013
February 7, 2013
Restaurants on Valentine's Day can be a bit of a nightmare: crowded tables, prix fixe menus, high expectations. There's something deeply romantic about hunkering down and DIY-ing it with candles and cloth napkins. For inspiration on what to cook, I consulted an expert: Luigi, a seventy-seven-year-old family friend who lives in the mountains of northeastern Italy and cooks wearing a red chef's apron. Luigi makes recipes like veal scallopini, tricolore salad, and Grand Marnier oranges, dishes from another era, elegant in their simplicity. There is certainly romance in the alchemy of simple dishes made well, and in the pleasure of serving the gift of a meal. And there is, at least for me, always a candlelit magic in pasta and tomato sauce.
Pick and choose from the recipes below and enjoy an Italian-inspired menu for Valentine's Day. As Luigi reminds me, you don't need to spend a lot of money to eat properly.
Warmest regards,
Kara Rota
Editorial Director
by Sharon Crayton
This tart and tangy salad starts out a Valentine's dinner on the right note. In Italian cuisine, oranges are often enjoyed in savory dishes as well as desserts, as a refreshing and bright counterpoint to meaty and spicy main courses. Serve Olive Oil and Mint Orange Salad as a leisurely first course with crusty bread and a glass of white wine. You can also try switching in Meyer lemons or Mandarin oranges instead of regular lemons, for a sweeter flavor.

Stay on target
One sign that you maybe play too many video games is that you know about and have strong feelings on Nolan North and/or Troy Baker. As games get bigger and more cinematic, naturally they start making more use of voice actors. But for one reason or another, video games (and anime) tend to use the same pool of performers to bring characters to life through voiceover and motion capture. And since video games still largely star a certain type of adventurous white dude, so many games now star Nolan North and/or Troy Baker it's basically a joke.
But the video game industry is big enough to have more than these two ubiquitous actors. So we'd like to suggest a long-overlooked talent who has already began making her mark in some recent hits. Put Debra Wilson in more video games!
MADtv, while never reaching the cultural appreciation of fellow sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live or even its own magazine, was a criminally underrated comedy artifact from the late 90s through early 2000s. It was often cruder and more juvenile than SNL, but that gave it a kind of FOX-y edgy energy the aging NBC institution lacked. Coke vs Pepsi and all that.
While not every MADtv veteran went on to have the most illustrious careers (remember Frank TV?) others did. Phil Lamarr and Alex Borstein are beloved voice actors. Ike Barinholtz shows up in a bunch of movies now. Will Sasso had great lemon-based Vines. Taran Killam made the jump to SNL and then Hamilton. Key & Peele was a direct continuation of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele's sketch chemistry on MADtv. And now Jordan Peele is an Academy Award nominee at least due to his work on Get Out.
But for my money the most consistently hilarious performer MADtv ever had was Debra Wilson. In a sketch comedy landscape that can only make jokes about the lack of roles for Black women without actually fixing the problem, Wilson turned impersonations of Oprah and Whitney Houston and Chris Tucker into bonafide comedy masterpieces week after week. Just watch some of this stuff.
Because the entertainment industry is unfair, Debra Wilson kind of disappeared after MADtv stopped being a thing. That is, unless you pay attention to voice acting credits. Wilson has appeared in some cartoons like The Boondocks and Black Dynamite and that Madagascar spin-off. But more interesting to me was all the video games she's been in.
She was the voice of Crying Wolf, one of the traumatized supermodels trapped inside robot animals who served as the bosses (and least confusing element) of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. She was in Fallout New Vegas, Grand Theft Auto V, Gears of War 4, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Far Cry Primal, and World of Warcraft. More recently she played Amanda Waller in the newest season of the surprisingly excellent Telltale Batman series (which understands Amanda Waller should never be skinny). And perhaps her now most famous gaming role is Grace Walker, the Black anti-Nazi revolutionary Angela Davis-type of last year's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
Wilson's excellent, memorable performance in Wolfenstein, as a character we just don't see in video games, sealed the deal for me that she absolutely needs to be in more video games, and not just because I'm nostalgic for her MADtv roles. We just need more cool, diverse, talented actors to keep showing up in our video games. With Debra Wilson, it's already happening. Let's keep it going. You get a video game voice acting career and you get a video game voice acting career and you get a video game voice acting career!

An article on Tuesday about the political implications that the death of Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey holds for Gov. Chris Christie omitted a recent Republican candidate for the United States Senate from that state. Dick Zimmer, a former United States congressman, lost to Mr. Lautenberg in 2008.
An article on Thursday about an attack by suicide bombers on an International Committee of the Red Cross compound in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, described incorrectly another aid organization, the International Center for Migration, whose office in Kabul, the Afghan capital, was attacked recently. The center is an independent agency that has worked with the United Nations. It is not a United Nations agency; nor is it a United Nations-affiliated agency, as it was described imprecisely in an article on May 25 about the Kabul attack.
An article on Friday about efforts by the Vatican Bank to polish its image misidentified the country whose famously murky finances were cleaned up in part by René Brülhart, a Swiss lawyer hired last year as the head of the Vatican's internal financial watchdog. It is Liechtenstein, not Luxembourg. The article also misstated a word in a Gospel lesson depicted in a painting hanging in the building that houses the Vatican Bank. The lesson begins, "Render unto Caesar" — not "Render under Caesar."
An article on Monday about national science prizes created by Len Blavatnik and the New York Academy of Sciences that will award $250,000 annually to three young scientists misstated the year Mr. Blavatnik earned an M.B.A. from Harvard. It was 1989, not 1969.
Because of an editing error, a picture caption on Saturday with the On Religion column, about a ceremony started by Rabbi Naftali Estulin to honor Jewish veterans of the Red Army of the Soviet Union, misidentified the city where his father lost a leg from shrapnel. It happened in Stalingrad, not in Leningrad.
The Advertising column on Tuesday, about a new theme in ads for Intel, misstated the day that a documentary, "Girl Rising," is to be telecast by CNN and CNN International. It is Sunday, June 16 — not this coming Sunday.
A music review on Tuesday about a Beethoven Institute concert at Mannes College the New School for Music, in Manhattan, misidentified the key of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 110, which was performed by Robert McDonald. It is in A-flat, not A.
A classical music entry in the Listings pages on Friday about a concert by the Chelsea Symphony, at Symphony Space in Manhattan on Saturday, misspelled the given name of a violinist and composer who performed. He is Mark O'Connor, not Marc. The entry also omitted a conductor who took part. Besides Yaniv Segal and Matthew Aubin, Mark Seto also conducted.
An article on Tuesday about asymmetry in the human body misstated the scientific affiliation of Dominic Norris, a developmental biologist who has studied the steps by which embryos' organs develop on the left or right. Dr. Norris is with the Medical Research Council in Harwell, England, not Cambridge University.
An obituary on May 2 about Orville Slutzky, who founded the Hunter Mountain ski resort in upstate New York with his brother, Israel, misstated the birth order of Mr. Slutzky and his siblings. Israel Slutzky was Orville's older brother, not his younger brother; Orville was the youngest of four children, not the third youngest.

What propels human innovation? I've been looking into these points for a really long time, fascinated by living off the grid and doing what I can to coach myself and share what I study with folks around me so we may be conscious an empowered. 2: Science has changed the individuals and their living, life fashion, food habits, sleeping arrangements, earning methods, the best way of communication between people and recreational actions.
Science, know-how, engineering, and math (STEM) staff are scorching commodities. Info know-how levels usually are not as widely known by employers, for the reason that software functions someone learns to operate or support change so rapidly and the purposes students learned might not be what the employer uses.
As an example, to provide optimum instruction, it is very important know the suitable instructing-learning approaches and techniques relevant to a certain group of students or learners. This expertise takes place when knowledge of electronics, mechanical science and software technology collectively types a science or data home.
According to City (2000), experiential studying theory makes use of private experience as the focus for studying as a result of it gives that means to abstract concepts. Future know-how will deliver a lot more innovations and equipment to upgrade human life. They educate you the fundamentals of databases, knowledge constructions and laptop programming but you simply lack the data and expertise for large scale software program issues.
The coaching workshop aimed to boost academics' skill in check evaluation and interpretation and capacitate them in growing numerous intervention materials for remediation and enrichment of studying (DepED Memorandum No.117 s. 2005). So, technological improvement might be outlined as the rise or growth in technology.

Turn Your Payments On Autopilot: Ring Your Register
Tired of chasing clients to get paid? Wish there was an easier way to shrink accounts receivable? Tired of paying high fees for receiving payments by credit card?
There is an easier way and it's called BizPayO (www.bizpayo.com).
BizPayO is a payment processing service that was created by an accountant who was tired of paying 3.5% to 4% for credit card processing. And tired of sending out invoices and waiting for checks to arrive.
To solve this problem, Allan Ratafia CPA designed BizPayO for forward-thinking accountants (and small business owners) who want to get paid fast without the fees. The system links engagements (proposals) and payment processing into one integrated service that runs on autopilot. And by making this payment process electronic, accounts receivable balances shrink as well.
To make this process even simpler, BizPayO has launched Sync Manager which syncs with QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. CPAs can get paid more quickly, easily and on time, all while saving hours of administrative headaches every month.
BizPayO addresses the unique needs of accounting professionals by bundling essential payment, billing and client engagement functions. The tool enables accountants to send out customer engagement agreements, have them digitally signed and stored, receive payment authorization and setup recurring billing all from one place. With BizPayO, new engagements now turn into auto payments.
Payments within BizPayO are processed using ACH (echeck), credit cards and debit cards and the system allows for recurring (monthly, quarterly, bi-weekly, etc.) and one-time payments.
While PayPal and Intuit Merchant Services charge upwards of four (4) percent for credit card processing, BizPayO enables CPAs and accountants to get paid by credit card and debit card payments at $0 net cost. This is possible through the system's proprietary Upcharge Technology which allows the professional to recover these fees by enabling the surcharge or convenience fee recovery feature.
The user-friendly interface allows the client to choose whether to pay by eCheck or card and know the fee for card payments upfront.
For more information about BizPayO, contact 888-999-9800 x1.

NIMS/IRIS is a resource database developed by FEMA that allows emergency responders to inventory, categorize type, locate, request, and track all internal and external resources from a single integrated system, which will help facilitate the response of requested resources during an incident.
The RAIDER computer includes selected portions of the NIMS database that can be used to identify and track the assets assigned to the ER, i.e. HAZMAT team during an incident. This includes vehicle physical characteristics and staffing levels, point of contact, and a detailed list of scientific instruments, communications gear and other equipment used in the process of detecting and monitoring hazardous environments. This data can be shared within the context of a major incident requiring cooperation and coordination between local jursdictions
RAIDER data sources consist of a variety of hardware such as instruments, GPS transmitters, audio and video equipment. We work closely with our partners to develop intermediate
software that connects to the data source and processes the incoming data streams
for display and storage.
The RAIDER computer can work stand-alone or be integrated into the vehicle's local network. A cellular data modem provides connectivity for data sharing if none
is provided by the vehicle. This option works well in most metropolitan areas
and can be augmented with a satellite data link in regions of poor coverage.
RAIDER is an open ended platform that will continue to adapt to technological developments
in the fields of wireless sensing devices, sensor networks and Internet protocols
for data communications.

In order for dating apps to work, you need to use them regularly. It's okay to take periodic brakes from apps, but it's also important to remember why you're using them in the first place. Every once in a while log in, update your info, reply to messages and do some swiping.
For online dating profile first messages, it's important to strike a balance between low effort (3 words) and too much effort (5 paragraphs)! Writing those things can definitely take some thought and effort.
But most dating apps offer a free "lite" version of the app. You still get a sense of the full functionality, ease of use, and size of the potential dating pool, but you won't get access to the premium features.

Suicide serious, Craccum editor should resign
Youth Suicide is a serious issue and should not be treated in any other way by an editor trying to be sensational, said Opposition Youth Affairs Spokesperson Simon Power in response to the article in Auckland Student Newspaper Craccum.
"Despite the editor's intentions in drawing attention to the issue of youth suicide, his methods are crude and reflect a complete lack of understanding of how seriously people view this issue. To sensationalize it the way he has is just not acceptable and he should resign.
"Above all, those in the media have a responsibility to report issues like suicide accurately and sensitively. The Craccum article does neither.
"Too many of our young people are driven to suicide out of sheer desperation and a feeling of nowhere to turn. Awareness of the problem has increased over the years but if we are going to prevent more young New Zealanders taking their lives we must change attitudes.
"Suicide is not a "taboo subject". It is something we should be talking about in our schools and universities. But a "how to guide" does nothing but drive those at risk to even more despair. This article is an inappropriate way to start a debate, it is offensive and makes a mockery of the issue.
"We must educate young people and ensure support services are there if they need them. The last thing I want to see is a young person taking their life because they feel there is nowhere for them to turn to," Mr Power said.

Symantec is looking to further penetrate the Australian consumer and small business market for its range of security products including virus protection, Internet and e-mail filtering and small business productivity software.

USS South Dakota Christened
The U.S. Navy christened its newest attack submarine, the future USS South Dakota (SSN 790) on Saturday at General Dynamics Electric Boat Shipyard in Groton, Connecticut.
The submarine's sponsor is Mrs. Deanie Dempsey, wife of the 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey.
South Dakota is the 17th Virginia-class attack submarine and the seventh Virginia-class Block III submarine. The ship began construction in 2013 and is contracted to deliver in August 2018. South Dakota will provide the Navy with the capabilities required to maintain the nation's undersea superiority well into the 21st century.
Block III Virginia-class submarines feature a redesigned bow, which replaces 12 individual launch tubes with two large-diameter Virginia Payload Tubes, each capable of launching six Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Virginia-class submarines are built to operate in the world's littoral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six maritime strategy core capabilities - sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security and deterrence.
South Dakota is the third ship to bear the state's name. The second ship was a battleship that stood as the lead ship of her class and earned 13 battle stars during her extensive service in the Pacific theater during World War II.

Using video marketing is the future of advertising. It is so easy to grab your camera, make a video and put it online. Because there are faster Internet connections now, it's not hard to share a video. If you'd like to get into video marketing, here are a few tips you need to know.
Google search stories are an excellent way to keep yourself off the camera while still creating video marketing which is effective. You search for your sites and show the world where they can be found, who is referencing them and what they contain, allowing people to find out what you're about.
Do not assume that video marketing has to be about making viral videos. Viral videos are a great marketing tool among certain audiences but keep in mind that your niche might not be likely to watch and share viral videos. Besides, not all viral videos convey a positive image of the brand they promote.
You want to make sure that you put out videos regularly. Once people have seen your video and are familiar with it they will more than likely stop watching it. Posting new material will keep your viewers coming back to see what kinds of new things you are promoting.
Help potential customers find your videos by using strong keywords. If you have a YouTube channel, you should take the time to write descriptions for all your videos and share links to your main site. Choose strong keyword's potential customers are likely to use when they look up videos on topics related to your products.
If you have a brick and mortar store, don't think online videos can't work to promote your business. They can, and do. Start with a video tour of your shop, introducing yourself and showcasing your best products and services. Done correctly, video marketing can help personalize your business and reach new customers. So, turn on that camera and show the world why they should trade at your shop.
Making a video is just part of the battle. You have to also promote your videos. How you market your videos is vitally important. Although it's important to create solid content, you should also ensure that people are aware of it.
When writing a description of your video include your web address at the beginning of the description using proper HTML. This will allow viewer to click the link and be immediately directed to your website. You should also include a description using your primary and alternate keywords for better page ranks.
You should always keep making videos so your customers will come back and watch again and again. Old or outdated content will only push viewers away from your website and into the arms of another campaign. You want people to wait on your next move with anticipation. Great content will boost sales.
Keep in mind that some people surf the Internet using large screen televisions for their monitors. YouTube accepts large video files now. So, do not turn your nose up at high-definition content. Someone looking at your content on a fifty inch plasma will not buy from you if they just see pixels.
Try outlining the path of your video. Great videos make it clear early on what will be discussed during the video. Just diving in your content will not help the viewers understand the benefits of watching it. Start with an outline like you would an essay to explain to viewers early on what to expect during the rest of the video.
When you upload a video to YouTube, also upload it to Facebook, and vice versa. You should use the embed code from Facebook on your site instead of YouTube as Facebook followers tend to be more lucrative than YouTube followers, and you're working to build your brand with the video you post.
If you are camera shy, or you do not feel like you would be good at video marketing, look within your company for someone who would be a good fit. They are usually the most friendly and have a natural exuberance that radiates around them. This is the person you want to choose for your video marketing.
Do not be afraid of posting your videos. You may think that they are terrible, but for the most part, you are your own worst critic. It is okay if you aren't a video professional and don't have all the latest equipment. Create videos to the best of your ability, and post them. Nothing ventured is nothing gained.
Figure out what kind of content your target audience wants to watch. In addition, how do those users come across the content that they are interested in? Is social media the route you should be focusing on or do these individuals sign up for mailing lists? Once you have a handle on this, you will know how to get started.
Don't forget that a video doesn't have to involve a camera. Why not take a video of your screen as you use your website? You can take viewers on a tour, or show them fun items available in your online store. You can also use programs like Powerpoint to provide graphics for what you're discussing.
If you're marketing to a country that speaks another language, hire a translator. Going the cheap route, or worse, stumbling through the words yourself is next to useless. Your customers will take you seriously and appreciate the fact that you made the effort to address them in their language.
If you are not sure where to begin with your video campaign, check out what your competitors are doing. What seems to be working, and what does not produce results? You can gauge its relative success by reading customer comments and seeing how many times each video was shared. Don't rip off your rivals' content, but use it as inspiration.
You should now be ready to do some video marketing of your own. Use all the tips you just read and adapt them to your target audience. You'll see great results if you do, so get out there and start working on your video marketing!
