BeWILDerwood is an award winning wild and imaginative outdoor adventure park. With magical treehouses and hints of intriguing characters, BeWILDerwood brings a curious difference to The Broads.
The concept, put quite simply, is one of child's play. The vision: to enhance an already striking natural playground and encourage children and their families to enjoy traditional, imaginative and healthy outdoor play together.
A day at BeWILDerwood, means endless hours spent together with family and friends, exploring and engaging in the wild Norfolk landscape. Building dens with bracken and sticks, taking lazy boat rides across Scaaaary Lake, dressing up and joining in with the enchanting daily story telling; crossing Jungle Bridges and visiting Treehouses, whizzing down Wobbly Wires and getting befuddled in the marvelous Muddle Maze; snaking through the peaceful pathways and revealing treacherous trails - this is a world with more than a little sprinkling of fairy dust.
BeWILDerwood is home to enchanting creatures such as Boggles, Twiggles, the Thornyclod Spider and vegetarian Crocklebogs! The setting for the book, "A Boggle at BeWILDerwood", by local children's author Tom Blofeld, gives children the chance to follow in the footsteps of the lead character Swampy, a 2ft Marsh Boggle with a taste for adventure. High in the trees there are miniature Twiggle villages and low in the marshes Boggle village life will captivate your imagination.
As you step inside the pages of Tom's books – a character world of Boggles, Crocklebogs and Twiggles is brought to life in a quietly telling, yet unassuming way; leaving ample time and space for young people to realise their very own make believe. BeWILDerwood has lovingly-made, locally sourced food and drinks on hand; the Munch Bar, The Cosy Cabin and the Snack Shack serve everything from famous Norfolk ice cream to the award winning Norfolk Archers sausages in rolls.
To BeWILDerwood, is to party! A time for fun, dancing, exploring, playing, sharing adventures and giggles and the Twiggle Team know how to throw a celebration! Lots of events are run throughout the season so check out the website for more details.

Radiation Therapy for Adult Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays or small particles to kill cancer cells. This type of treatment is given by a doctor called a radiation oncologist. Radiation therapy may be used in different situations:
- After surgery to try to kill any remaining tumor cells
- As the main treatment if surgery is not a good option and medicines are not effective
- To help prevent or relieve symptoms from the tumor
Types of radiation therapy
Most often, the radiation is focused on the tumor from a source outside the body. This is called external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). This type of radiation therapy is much like getting an x-ray, but the dose of radiation is much higher.
Before your treatments start, the radiation team will determine the correct angles for aiming the radiation beams and the proper dose of radiation. This planning session, called simulation, usually includes getting imaging tests such as CT or MRI scans.
In most cases, the total dose of radiation is divided into daily fractions (usually given Monday through Friday) over several weeks. At each treatment session, you lie on a special table while a machine delivers the radiation from precise angles. The treatment is not painful. Each session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. Much of that time is spent making sure the radiation is aimed correctly. The actual treatment time each day is much shorter.
High doses of radiation therapy can damage normal brain tissue, so doctors try to deliver the radiation to the tumor with the lowest possible dose to normal surrounding brain areas. Several techniques can help doctors focus the radiation more precisely:
Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT): 3D-CRT uses the results of imaging tests such as MRI and special computers to map the location of the tumor precisely. Several radiation beams are then shaped and aimed at the tumor from different directions. Each beam alone is fairly weak, which makes it less likely to damage normal tissues, but the beams converge at the tumor to give a higher dose of radiation there.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT): IMRT is an advanced form of 3D therapy. It uses a computer-driven machine that moves around the patient as it delivers radiation. Along with shaping the beams and aiming them at the tumor from several angles, the intensity (strength) of the beams can be adjusted to limit the dose reaching the most sensitive normal tissues. This may let the doctor deliver a higher dose to the tumor. Many major hospitals and cancer centers now use IMRT.
Conformal proton beam radiation therapy: Proton beam therapy uses an approach similar to 3D-CRT. But instead of using x-rays, it focuses proton beams on the tumor. Protons are positive parts of atoms. Unlike x-rays, which release energy both before and after they hit their target, protons cause little damage to tissues they pass through and then release their energy after traveling a certain distance. Doctors can use this property to deliver more radiation to the tumor and do less damage to nearby normal tissues.
This approach may be more helpful for brain tumors that have distinct edges (such as chordomas), but it is not clear if it will be useful for tumors that are infiltrative or mixed with normal brain tissue (such as astrocytomas or glioblastomas). There are a limited number of proton beam centers in the United States at this time.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)/stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT): This type of treatment delivers a large, precise radiation dose to the tumor area in a single session (SRS) or in a few sessions (SRT). (There is no actual surgery in this treatment.) It may be used for some tumors in parts of the brain or spinal cord that can't be treated with surgery or when a patient isn't healthy enough for surgery.
First, a head frame is usually attached to the skull to help aim the radiation beams. (Sometimes a face mask is used to hold the head in place instead.) Once the exact location of the tumor is found on CT or MRI scans, radiation is focused at the tumor from many different angles. This can be done in 2 ways:
- In one approach, radiation beams are focused at the tumor from hundreds of different angles for a short period of time. Each beam alone is weak, but they all converge at the tumor to give a higher dose of radiation. An example of such a machine is the Gamma Knife.
- Another approach uses a movable linear accelerator (a machine that creates radiation) that is controlled by a computer. Instead of delivering many beams at once, this machine moves around the head to deliver radiation to the tumor from many different angles. Several machines with names such as X-Knife, CyberKnife, and Clinac deliver stereotactic radiosurgery in this way.
SRS typically delivers the whole radiation dose in a single session, though it may be repeated if needed. For SRT (sometimes called fractionated radiosurgery), doctors give the radiation in several treatments to deliver the same or a slightly higher dose. Frameless techniques are now available to make this more comfortable.
Brachytherapy (internal radiation therapy): Unlike the external radiation approaches above, brachytherapy involves inserting radioactive material directly into or near the tumor. The radiation it gives off travels a very short distance, so it affects only the tumor. This technique is most often used along with external radiation. It provides a high dose of radiation at the tumor site, while the external radiation treats nearby areas with a lower dose.
Whole brain and spinal cord radiation therapy (craniospinal radiation): If tests like an MRI scan or lumbar puncture find the tumor has spread along the covering of the spinal cord (meninges) or into the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid, then radiation may be given to the whole brain and spinal cord. Some tumors such as ependymomas and medulloblastomas are more likely to spread this way and often require craniospinal radiation.
Possible side effects of radiation therapy
Radiation is more harmful to tumor cells than it is to normal cells. Still, radiation can also damage normal brain tissue, which can lead to side effects.
Side effects during or soon after treatment: Some people become irritable and tired during the course of radiation therapy. Nausea, vomiting, and headaches are also possible side effects but are uncommon. Sometimes dexamethasone (a corticosteroid) or other drugs can help relieve these symptoms. Some people might have hair loss in areas of the scalp that get radiation. Other side effects are also possible, depending on where the radiation is aimed.
Problems with thinking and memory: A person may lose some brain function if large areas of the brain get radiation. Problems can include memory loss, personality changes, and trouble concentrating. There may also be other symptoms depending on the area of brain treated and how much radiation was given. These risks must be balanced against the risks of not using radiation and having less control of the tumor.
Radiation necrosis: Rarely after radiation therapy, a mass of dead (necrotic) tissue forms at the site of the tumor in the months or years after radiation treatment. It can often be controlled with corticosteroid drugs, but surgery may be needed to remove the necrotic tissue in some instances.
Increased risk of another tumor: Radiation can damage genes in normal cells. As a result, there is a small risk of developing a second cancer in an area that got radiation — for example, a meningioma of the coverings of the brain, another brain tumor, or less likely a bone cancer in the skull. If this occurs, it's usually many years after the radiation is given. This small risk should not prevent those who need radiation from getting treatment.

Charts are fun! They basically make the Internet go 'round these days, what with the sharing, the memes and the Reddit and whatnot. But not this one! This one is depressing. Ladies and gents, the U.S. debt, in visual form.
On the left there is the Empire State Building. In the middle, the doomed World Trade Center Towers. Below, a Boeing 747. And then, to the right of all that, is this amazing building-like structure that is not, sadly, a concept idea for the world's largest building. That's our debt!
For a more detailed explanation, clickity click on WTFNoWay. It's really rather sad! Also, interesting. When it's put into a conceptual building comparison chart anyway. [WTFNOWAY via Laughing Squid]

As Albert Schweitzer said, "there are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." You know where to find the cat, but did you know that all Hofstra students also have access to music online . . . for free???
If not, then check out the Naxos Music Library available through Axinn Library's Research Databases (you will be prompted to log into the portal.) There is a wide range of genre's from classical to blues to pop and rock. You might even discover something new . . . like Rossini's Duetto buffo di due gatti (The Cats' Duet). The lyrics are sublime.

I bought my beloved in 2002 and was oblivious when the company stopped production, otherwise I would have stocked up like some other wise folks. It served me well for 9 years but now fails to trigger any* response from 2 computers (tried all ports) - one of the laptops is the one I've been using with the pad for about 2 years.
I'm not posting this on the marketplace board because I think it can be fixed. I have taken very good care of it and it has no visible damage, including the cord. I always used a gray antistatic bag when transporting it. It had been packed in storage box for the past 6 months while I took some adventures and I dug it out 2 weeks ago after starting a new job. I know that the box wasn't packed very carefully and it's possible that the pad was pushed or flexed.
* - well, I DID get a very brief response from a Windows 7 machine while I was poking and prodding at it. About 1 second after recognizing it & starting a driver search, Windows said it was unplugged. I couldn't repeat it, but it gives me hope that the problem is electrical rather than electronic. The flicker of life happened while I flexed the pad across a diagonal axis. There was no response at all from bending, pushing, or pulling the cord so I think there's a connection problem is inside the pad.
I'm comfortable taking apart electronics, but wouldn't be able to do a repair beyond just pushing a loose connector. Is it likely to be that simple?
If any experienced community members are willing to try a repair, I'll pay a little for trying, much more for success. (And I want it back either way.) $200 total with $50 up front? Any interest out there?
PS. I feel guilty for just joining the community now in my time of need. But, I don't think I had run across the site for many years and have been happily taking my wonderful working device for granted. Mea culpa!

I think it's important to highlight this moving and persuasive comment by njnjnj:
OK, how can you dismiss doctors who ask for lifestyle changes when you havent even attempted to make them? I don't think its that you CANT lose weight, you just dont want to try. God, seriously I think you should right a post addresing what seems a bunch of lies this whole fat movement is because all of you can lose weight but you wont try. And I think you should mention how much and what kind of exercise you get. Because on the forum I frequent full of runners, many of them were at one point morbidly obese, started running, and lost 70-100 pounds and became more healthy than they ever have in their entire lives. So how can you say fat people cant lose weight?
S/he obviously didn't read the post in question, let alone the rest of the blog, or s/he would know that I've dieted my ass off, quite literally. And s/he obviously didn't read the comments, where I talked about eating fucking vinegar and lettuce. Or the numerous posts and entire "yoga" category where I talk in great detail about how much and what kind of exercise I get. And s/he obviously didn't notice that the majority of my commenters have also dieted repeatedly.
But thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster njnjnj came along to tell us what's what! I had NO IDEA I'm fat because I'm too lazy to get unfat, and if I just ate less and exercised, I would become thin and healthy — the latter of which I clearly am not right now, what with the fat. And this… fat movement thing! It's a pack of lies! I've been misleading you all!
Especially the part where I talk about "health concerns" being driven by hateful, ignorant stereotypes of fat people. I'm definitely lying about that.

Tim Hortons donut competition could introduce new flavours
Tim Hortons Inc., Canada's largest coffee merchant, is adding a dark roast coffee to its menu, giving an alternative to its java blend for the first time in its 50-year history.
The Oakville, Ontario-based company is adding the new line starting today, matching the sales price of its original blend, at $1.57 for a medium cup.
By keeping its traditional coffee while giving customers a taste of something new, Tim Hortons is trying to lure the Starbucks crowd while not alienating customers on price. The company is bringing in the new drink after its own research found consumers enjoy a darker roast coffee.
"We're hoping to sell this dark blend to those people that are still going to buy our original blend but are maybe looking for a different experience," Chief Executive Officer Marc Caira said in an interview at a promotional event in Toronto yesterday, which featured a performance by Canadian singer Jann Arden. "We also hope to attract other people that may be going to other places," he said.
The coffee-and-doughnut chain, which competes with fast- food outlets like McDonald's Corp., is expanding its product lines to boost sales as price increases remain a limited option. The company, which has 4,500 restaurants, already piloted the dark coffee blend, including in its Quebec stores.
The new coffee line is part of a larger shake-up of the menu at Tim Hortons. Caira said last week the chain is looking to broaden its brand and popularity with the lunch crowd. It's added variety to its menu through the introduction of a crispy chicken sandwich, turkey sausage, hot breakfast sandwich, new hashbrowns and frozen hot chocolate.
Meanwhile, the company is also trying to make new donuts a routine part of its menu shakeup.
"90210" star Jason Priestley and singer Jann Arden put their tastebuds to the test Wednesday as judges of Tim Hortons Duelling Doughnuts competition.
The pair — along with celebrity baker Anna Olson and TV personality Ben Mulroney — sampled eight confections cooked up by contest finalists.
Priestley's favourite pitch came from Judd Mah for his breakfast-themed doughnut complete with maple syrup and bacon, "The Lumberjack."
"He did this whole presentation with a big fake beard on and had all his co-workers from Edmonton dress up as lumberjacks," said Priestley, laughing.
Mulroney was partial to Nikola Kostic's pitch, a red velvet concoction called "The Big Canadian Red" in tribute to his adopted country. "I was really impressed with how heartfelt it was," said Mulroney.
As a pastry chef, Olson sought originality. "I was looking for a sense of commitment to the creative process," said the cookbook author, who's had hosting stints on the Food Network Canada series "Bake with Anna Olson," "Sugar" and "Fresh with Anna Olson."
And she wasn't disappointed.
The creations — chosen from 76,000 entries — drew inspiration from lemon cheesecake to ice-cream sundaes.
Finalists were equally creative in how they pitched their product.
"I thought I was a judge on 'Canada's Got Talent' — there was singing, there was dancing and physical showmanship," said Arden.
Fitness trainer Isabelle Scantland Lebel did handstands to draw attention to her pistachio and white chocolate entry while grandmother Nancy Angus made a music video for her own version of "Party in the USA" to promote her brownie-inspired dessert.
Wednesday was the first time contestants had seen their sweet treats brought to life by Tim Hortons chefs. Their entries had evolved by using a template provided online by the company.
Four finalists will be announced Monday. The winner, who will be named later this year, will be awarded $10,000 and experience the pride of seeing their doughnuts sold at Tim Hortons.
Priestley made doughnut headlines last year after an appearance on TV's "How I Met Your Mother." In a fake documentary, the Los Angeles-based actor claimed he had invented "The Priestley," a strawberry-vanilla doughnut with a chocolate Timbit nestled inside.
Tim Hortons then created a batch of the fictional pastry, and the contest followed soon after.
This year, Tim Hortons chefs designed a personalized doughnut for each of the judges, including a new version of "The Priestley."
"It's good but I'm kind of a classic guy. I think I want to stick with the original Priestley," said Priestley.
The eight finalists are:
— Isabelle Scantland Lebel of Gatineau, Que., The Pistachio & White Chocolate
— Judd Mah of Edmonton, The Lumberjack
— Nikola Kostic of Toronto, The Big Canadian Red
— Lauren Armstrong of Toronto, The Lemmy Tell Ya About Cheesecake
— Jennifer Brown of Glencoe, Ont., The Love Reese's To Pieces
— Danny Hawtin of Waterdown, Ont., The Cookie Jar
— Nancy Angus of Oro-Medonte, Ont., The Skor Brownie Points
— Jennifer Veenvliet of Barrie, Ont., The Ice Cream Sundae
The strategy paid off in the last quarter. The company's stock hit a record on Aug. 6 after it posted results that beat estimates and said fiscal 2014 profit will top or be at the high end of its target range.
"If we continue to execute the plan flawlessly I continue to expect that we're going to get progress consistent with whatever guidance we provide to the market," Caira said yesterday.
The new dark roast will also be sold in 343 gram (12 ounce) bags for C$6.69 and 14-pack single serve coffee cups for C$9.99 at its restaurants and at grocers across Canada. In the U.S. it will be sold at Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop locations in 1 pound bags for $7.99 and 14-pack single serve coffee cup formats and at grocers in 12-ounce bags for $7.99 and 12-packs of single serve coffee cups for $8.99.
At the event, reporters were invited to taste the new blend in darkened rooms, heightening the senses to better appreciate the flavor, described by Caira as offering hints of "citrus, cocao and earthy tones." Arden, who is also a judge in the company's national Duelling Donuts Competition, added to the ambience, performing with an acoustic guitar and backing singer.
Shares of Tim Hortons rose 0.2 percent to C$68.12 at the close in Toronto yesterday, taking their gain to 9.9 percent this year.
The chain was founded in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1964 by the late Tim Horton, who was a National Hockey League player.

Fed agency retracts reprimand to flatulent worker
Letter contains chart documenting 60 incidences of flatulence
A federal government agency did more than wrinkle its nose at an employee's flatulence problem, issuing an official reprimand after months of malodors. But the agency said Friday that it has since retracted the rebuke.
The reprimand letter, which runs four pages and is dated Dec. 10, charges the Social Security Administration employee with "conduct unbecoming a federal employee" and "creating a hostile work environment" because of the repeated gas passing.
It says coworkers didn't want to work with the person because of the problem, which the employee seems to have attributed to lactose intolerance. The letter also contains a chart documenting 60 incidences of flatulence, nine on one day in September.
The letter was originally posted on The Smoking Gun website with names blacked out.
Social Security Administration spokesman Mark Hinkle said Friday in a two-sentence email that the reprimand was rescinded a week after it was issued "when senior management became aware of the reprimand" and that the agency, which has its headquarters in a suburb outside of Baltimore, could not comment further because of "privacy concerns." He declined to say the employee's gender or where the person worked.
According to the letter, at least three people tried to get to the bottom of the smelly situation with the employee beginning in May, when the employee's supervisor brought up the topic during a performance discussion.
The author of the reprimand letter, a manager, confronted the employee in July, noting several coworkers had complained and asking if "you could make it to the rest room before releasing the awful and unpleasant odor." The employee apparently offered to try not to pass gas and to turn on a fan when it happened, but the letter writer says that solution wasn't satisfactory.
"I explained to you that turning on the fan would cause the smell to spread and worsen the air quality in the module," the letter writer chastises.
Later, after a conversation with a deputy division director, the employee apparently blamed the problem on lactose intolerance and offered to purchase Gas-X. The deputy division director also asked that the employee investigate a medical explanation.
"He asked that you check with your doctor to see if there are other options to help you address your flatulence and that you could not pass gas indefinitely and continue to disrupt the work place," the letter says.
The employee submitted information about medical conditions but nothing indicating "that you would have uncontrollable flatulence," according to the letter.
"It is my belief that you can control this condition," the letter writer says.
The employee's flatulent episodes were then documented by date and time over a three-month period beginning in September. The letter does not explain how the record was made.

I just wanted to say thank you for your co-operation in attending to the items that had to be rectified to comply with the Victorian roadworthy. I would say that many purchasers would fear that they may not be looked after professionally if they buy from a "smaller dealer", however we have been quite happy with your responsiveness and service, despite delays due to parts availability.Andrew Stickley10/28/2019

We have recently purchased our first Mercedes from the Oldtimer Centre at Rydalmere. It's a 2009 E350 W212 with 76,000km on the clock and with full log book servicing done at Mercedes Benz. The interior is in immaculate condition, anyone can tell that the car has been loved and taken care of. And having been driving it for over a week now I can say that it feel buttery smooth and the response is so great.
The first day I went there I met Kristian and he didn't feel like a pushy car sales guy. He was very helpful and friendly and showed us around. I went with my wife the second day and took this car on a test drive and loved it. Kristian gave us a good deal and helped me out a lot later on with the extended warranty. I know who to speak to and where to go when I buy my next car.
It is a true testament to Oldtimer Centre to acquire such a great car in this mint condition that it is. Thanks Kristian and Richard :DMuntasirul Haq12/05/2019

Five years ago, many dairy producers felt very good about life. They felt good about their long-term business prospects. Then 2009 happened.
Since then, milk prices have climbed back up – and even reached record highs, but I've noticed that the feeling of bold confidence among dairy producers has not returned.
In my travels and visits with dairy producers earlier this year, it was clear that the mood has shifted. As a result of high feed prices and constant volatility, dairy producers today seem much more aware – and respectful – of the market forces.
With high feed costs and unreliable availability, dairy producers realize they don't have control of their own destiny – especially if they are not raising most of their own feed. They realize that even though milk prices have been really attractive, their margins are not high. They recognize it wouldn't take a very big change in the milk price to make their profit disappear pretty quickly.
Most of these producers never imagined losing money when they were selling $18 milk, but now they are realizing it could actually happen.
I saw a similar awakening in the grain market when corn went to $8. Large grain producers who had been very confident before that happened sold at $5. When corn went to $8, they were scratching their head – and their wallet – and questioning, "Maybe this marketing thing is getting a lot more challenging than it once was?"
Other industries from agriculture to Fortune 500 companies have seen similar scenarios.
While missing the market can be a costly mistake, it can also be a valuable wake-up call. The lesson is that understanding marketing alternatives must always be a priority – and there is always more to learn. I am seeing this mentality emerge among dairy producers today. Many of the producers I visited with this winter felt it was worth their time to improve their marketing. Whether they had minimal marketing experience or were pretty seasoned, the dairy producers I visited with saw value in becoming better.
The risk in the marketplace today is a very real threat to all businesses. It is important to use the tools available to manage that risk.
Looking Forward
The increased risk and higher costs that the dairy industry has had to adapt to over the past five years are very similar to what Fortune 500 companies are also experiencing. Monthly, I meet with business executives who are members of The Executive Committee (TEC) – a group who share their collective knowledge and experiences to help each other generate better results for their businesses. They represent businesses worth $5 million dollars to nearly a billion dollars.
Since the recession hit in 2008, many of them have cut overhead and streamlined their businesses – and several of their companies have become more profitable than ever before. You would think they would have that confident, "life is good" mentality that I saw in the dairy business five years ago – but they don't.
They too have a new-found respect for how quickly the market can change and how much risk – and uncertainty – exists.
Despite the challenges and uncertainty, I remain an optimist. With a focus on learning, improving and planning market strategy, I believe any business can have the opportunity to thrive in the new era that lies ahead.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #232
Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart,
Star of the coming day,
Arise, and with thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away.
Come, blessed Lord, bid ev'ry shore
And answ'ring island sing
The praises of thy royal Name,
And own thee as their King.
Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To the bright world above,
Break forth in rapturous strains of joy
In mem'ry of thy love.
Lord, Lord, thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with all our hearts,
And calls aloud for thee.
Come, then, with all thy quick'ning pow'r,
With one awak'ning smile,
And bid the serpent's trail no more
Thy beauteous realms defile.
Thine was the cross, with all its fruits
Of grace and peace Divine:
Be thine the crown of glory now,
The palms of vict'ry thine.

Poll: Clinton leads Christie in early look at 2016
Chris Christie vs. Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016? A new NBC poll on that hypothetical matchup shows the former secretary of State would lead the New Jersey governor.
Clinton received 44% support from adults surveyed by NBC, while Christie would get 34%. As the TV network notes, the 2016 election is more than 1,000 days away — so this is a very early snapshot and probably the first of many we'll see since Christie's political future is being widely discussed after he cruised to a second term last week.
Christie said he is focused on his job as governor and a new role he'll take on in January as chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Clinton has said she's thinking about running again but is adamant that a decision doesn't have to be made soon.
The NBC poll, however, shows the path to the GOP nomination for Christie won't be an easy one. While 32% of Republicans and people who lean to the GOP say they'd back Christie, another 31% say they would prefer another candidate.
As in other public opinion polls, Clinton is the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination. She's the choice of 66% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning respondents in the NBC poll versus 14% who prefer someone else.
"Naming just Christie divides the faithful equally into Christie, Not Christie and Don't Know," said G. Evans Witt, CEO of Princeton Survey Research, which conducted the poll for NBC. "A third of the vote is not a bad showing in a party primary with (potentially) 10 candidates, but the first primary is more than two years away."

A safe spot is a bookmark which is not next to any warpable object.
In-Warp Safes
Safespots can be made during warp, via people and places tool. Common but poor safe spots are made in-warp between gates or other objects (known as 'between-gate' safes). Better safe spots are made in-warp between other safe spots, or after hours of flying into empty space.
Due to their often-predictable locations, In-Warp safes are vulnerable to Warp Disruption Fields placed along routes between stargates: a common tactic in gate camps.
Off-Grid Location Safes
A useful type of a safespot is near a gate or a station, but outside grid range - for example, few thousand kilometers from one; this allows easy scanning of the target location while offering the same security as the average 'between gate' safespot.

Two of the four Americans killed Tuesday after an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya were former Navy SEALs from San Diego County.
Glen Doherty, 42, of Encinitas, and Tyrone Woods, 41, of Imperial Beach, were working at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi as security and intelligence contractors. Also killed were the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and information officer Sean Smith. Three others were wounded.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that Doherty and Woods "died helping protect their colleagues.
"Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest gratitude are with their families and friends. Our embassies could not carry on our critical work around the world without the service and sacrifice of brave people like Tyrone and Glen," she said in a statement.
The two former SEALs settled in San Diego County after initial training in Coronado, where all the elite naval special operators must pass a grueling 21-week test of mental and physical endurance.
Doherty, who grew up in the Boston suburb of Winchester, Mass., was a gregarious outdoorsman and high-octane adventurer, a self-proclaimed "high priest" of "The Cult of Recreationalism," friends and family said.
The pilot, former ski instructor, surfer and trainer at the CrossFit/SEALFIT gym in Encinitas served nine years as a SEAL before getting out in 2005.
"Glen was a true hero and one of the greatest guys I've ever known. You would have liked him," said Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL from San Diego who wrote a book with Doherty called "Navy SEAL Sniper."
Almost everyone did, according to Doherty's family and friends. "His way of making everyone around him feel special and loved came from the fact that he genuinely looked up to all his friends, always seeing their greatness in a way they sometimes wished they could see themselves," his brother, Greg Doherty, of Kensington, said in a statement.
Glen Doherty's ex-wife, Sonja Johnson, said "People looked up to him. ... They were inspired by him. He was always a leader. He could command attention." He was also a dependable friend, she added: "He's the guy you'd call who you knew would help you move, lend a hand or take care of your dog. He would never say no."
During his military career, Doherty graduated from the 18 Delta Special Forces Combat Medical School and the SEAL sniper course. He responded to the USS Cole attack off the coast of Yemen, participated in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and served a second tour there in 2004.
"He simply believed that the possibility of liberating the country from a tyrant and making democracy possible for the Iraqi people was worth him risking his own life for," Greg Doherty said.
Glen Doherty's work as a government contractor took him for months at a time to countries including Lebanon, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The work was an extension of his military service, said one acquaintance who asked not to be named out of respect for the privacy of special operations forces.
"You never take your uniform off. You hang it in the closet. But everything that went along with it is still there. All the training and the dedication you have to your nation. That is what drives these guys," he said.
Word of the former SEALs' deaths was a deep blow that spread nationwide in special operations forces circles. Mike Ritland, a friend of Doherty and former Navy SEAL, said in a statement: "The loss of this incredible warrior is one that will forever hurt this nation's heart. … The brotherhood mourns the loss of one of its very best. Fair winds and following seas brother, we will see you on the other side."
Woods, a former owner of The Salty Frog bar in Imperial Beach, served more than 20 years as a SEAL and deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan. He is survived by his wife Dorothy, two teenaged sons, Tyrone Jr. and Hunter, and infant Kai.
His former wife, Patricia Ann So, described him as talented, highly skilled and dedicated. "He was balls to the wall," she said. "He loved life, loved adrenalin."
Woods went through Hell Week — the grueling 5½-day make-or-break culmination of initial SEAL training — twice, So said. She was certain that he died doing what he loved to do.
Manuel Santana, a former neighbor, said Woods was a quiet and good man who didn't go looking for trouble. But "he was tough. He was the type of person you didn't want to tangle with on a dark street at night," Santana said.
Before he moved out of the neighborhood a few months ago, Woods used to drink coffee daily when he was in town at an ice cream shop and café called Cow A Bunga. "He was very secretive because of his job, so we never knew what he was doing. All we knew was that he was working to defend his country because he loved it," said Fabrice Gaunin, one of the owners.
"If there were more people like him, this country would be in much better shape. We need people to keep doing what he was doing. Because he really believed in freedom and he really believed in the U.S."
Islamist militants are suspected of using a protest over an inflammatory movie as cover for a coordinated assault on the diplomatic post on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, U.S. and Libyan government officials said.
The four-hour assault Tuesday night in Benghazi included rocket-propelled grenade attacks on the consulate and a nearby annex or safe house.
Doherty's sister, Kate Quigley, told The Boston Globe that she did not believe the attack was a spontaneous protest against the movie clip aired on YouTube that ridiculed the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.
"I never thought he'd be another victim of Sept. 11," Quigley said. "You have to understand. Glen was highly trained. He was the best of the best. He wouldn't have gone down for some protest over a movie."
As the mob of some 200 people threatened to storm the consulate, military and security personnel inside would have been under the operational control of the U.S. State Department and diplomatic staff on hand, said John Valdez, 75, of Oceanside, who served three tours as a Marine security guard protecting U.S. embassy staff abroad before he retired in 1985.
They would be under orders to hold their fire until the ambassador or charge d'affaires gave the command, he said.
"When it comes to the nitty gritty, the ambassador is the one who makes the call," he said. "Nine times out of 10 they will not tell anybody to fire. You can't do anything pretty much. Unless it becomes imminent and you are fearing for your life, then you might decide to fire (anyway) and suffer the consequences."
Those who knew the former SEALs said they had no doubt they went down fighting.
"Don't cry for Glen, he would not approve. Celebrate a man who lived well and died with a gun is his hands, fighting for those too weak to fight for themselves," said a friend and former SEAL who identified himself as "SH9."

For instance, Miles still has major issues concerning food. That memory of hunger just does not seem to go away for him. He will try to take your head off if you take a french fry off of his plate. For him, it is not just an aversion to sharing, but it is a deep seeded fear that there will not be more food after this meal is over. It's not selfishly rooted, it's fear based. When he's at home, the others just know that we don't mess with Miles' food. But in social situations, part of being a toddler is snatching things from each other- and that includes snacks. This week we worked on communal eating. We all tried to eat a snack out of the same bowl. We turned it into a game. We passed a bowl around and everyone got to take a snack out. When the bowl got to Miles, he tried to run away with it. I gave Miles the words that he needed and couldn't say. I would say something like, "I know that you want to take all of these goldfish. But don't be scared. It is okay to share our food. There will be enough for everyone! Let's take one and pass it to the next person." Then we model the behavior that we desire and praise him like crazy when he does it. The hope here is that even though Miles still has fear surrounding food, the more we practice behaviors like these, the more this can be scripted into his brain that it is okay to share.
One of the things that we do a lot of in attachment therapy is play. Many times we play games in which the therapist and I manipulate situations. For instance:
One of our favorite games to do is play a game where the therapist and I sit on opposite sides of the room. She will have Miles run to me. I play it up and encourage him like crazy. When he gets to me, he is supposed to kiss or hug me. Keep in mind- kissing and hugging are intense for Miles. In the beginning, when he would run to me, he would turn around backwards and have me hug him from behind because hugging face to face was just too much for him. Then I send him back to the therapist. When he gets to her, they high five or fist bump or some other less intense contact. All of this is designed to teach him to differentiate the level of contact that we have with family and the level of contact with have with acquaintances. This is one of the ways in which I can see the most improvement with Miles. In the first weeks with our therapist, he would barely get out of her lap. He wanted nothing to do with me. He would barely even make eye contact with me. She was constantly trying to redirect his attention to me, but he was reluctant to leave her. Now, Miles is spending equal time clinging to each of us during our therapy sessions. That is a huge improvement. Remember, many times for our children who come from hurt places, they are more comfortable with transient relationships because you can't get emotionally hurt when a transient person leaves you. Flocking toward the transient relationship is a self preservation technique. Having a professional involved in doing this kind of therapy is so essential for a couple of reasons: 1) a professional knows how to not feed into a child with attachment/trauma related manipulation tactics and 2) they can resist the cuteness of a child wanting to cuddle up in their lap and redirect to the parent! It is hard for the average person to resist a little child wanting you to hug and cuddle them. But in teaching our children to differentiate appropriate contact with family and outside contacts and instill the need to avoid strangers, this is essential.
We also play games where Miles gets rewarded for seeking me out. He and the therapist will tip toe around the house "looking" for me and when they find me I am very animated and tickle and roll around on the floor with Miles. Again, this is designed to teach him that he can seek me out when he needs me and that he will be rewarded for relying on me.
Having a professional around to bounce ideas off of is a very valuable resource for parents. Many times disciplining and teaching our adopted children is different that parenting our biological children. Miles just learned the word "tickle" a few weeks ago. But his idea of where he can tickle people is often very inappropriate. In these situations, I would just pick him up and remove him from the inappropriate tickle fest. But in talking with the therapist, we now have better strategies. Tickling is an important part of development and in teaching good touch for toddlers. Me taking that away from him was not the right thing to do. The therapist worked with us in teaching him the "right" way to tickle the other kids. Again, so much of attachment therapy and overcoming trauma is modeling and reward the appropriate and desired behavior. Now when tickling starts, we direct it. I'll shout out, "Now let tickle each other's arms!" or, "Time to tickle each other's necks!" By guiding and directing the behavior, we've eliminated the bad behavior and are reinforcing what "good touch" is for our son. And just FYI- we've had a very loooong talk with the big kids about good and bad touch and what they need to watch for and things that they need to tell mommy and daddy about right away. Capiche?!
When we have the siblings around, we create little "plays" for them. We will ask Noah to pretend that he is hurt. The sibs love doing this kind of dramatic work. When they are successfully lying on the floor in their state of "fake hurt" I will take Miles with me and show him how mommy can come in and hold and kiss and make the situation better. This helps Miles to learn empathy as well as that mommy is our friend when we're hurt. Miles is still not there yet with this one. We he gets hurts he still prefers to writhe around on the floor and go into wounded animal mode ready to fight anyone who gets close to him. But he's learning. I've seen him model the appropriate behavior with his baby dolls. He gets the concept, but for right now, equating it to his real life still makes him feel too vulnerable. He's getting there, though.
We also do a whole lot of therapy flashcards. We've done flashcards in speech therapy for a long time. But now we've carried over that concept into our attachment therapy. We took very staged pictures like this:
On the backs of these flashcards, we write very simple sentences that we say over and over again as we go over each photo. For example, on the top photo where Sadie is pretending that her arm is hurt, we say, "Mommy makes it better." For the bottom photo, we say, "Mommy kisses Miles." We also have photos of me kissing and hugging each of the children and the same things with pictures of Kamron. We also took pictures of me hugging Kamron and us kissing each other. These flashcards are putting into Miles ingrained memory and vocabulary what the roles of mommy's and daddy's are. Getting those phrases and an image of the loving touch and loving relationships is essential to him figuring out that we are the people who are supposed to take car of things for him. Our hope is that as he is able to learn to differentiate his needs and that one day if he decides he needs a hug, he will have drilled into his brain, "Oh yeah! Mommy hugs Miles. Mommy kisses Miles!" and he will come to me to have his needs fulfilled.
These things may all sound ridiculous to a person who has never dealt with an attachment challenged child. Keep in mind though, that spending any time institutionalized without a family structure means that children have not learned what it looks like to be in a family and therefore must be taught those skills. We take for granted with our biological children that they just naturally have always had the security that comes with having a family from day one.
I realize that we are insanely lucky to have an attachment therapist. (and an occupational therapist and a speech therapist and a developmental therapist and a PT consult.) To live in such a backwards state, Kentucky truly does have one of the most progressive early intervention programs in the US. We are able to get all of these resources for the rock bottom total price of $40 a month- TOTAL-for all 20 hours of private therapy that Miles receives every month. I'm not saying that to gloat, but to say that I recognize that not everyone has access to these kinds of resources. That is why I decided to share what we are doing and the practical activities that we do every single day to help our son get where he needs to be. The things that we are doing can easily be done in anyone's home. Recruit a neighbor to help you be the transient person in your role playing games who helps to always redirect the child to the parent. I hope that this may help some of you out there who don't qualify for resources. If you aren't sure if your state has early intervention resources, you can look up your state's contact person here: http://www.nectac.org/contact/ptccoord.asp
And most of all- remember (and this is OH SO HARD!) not to take attachment disorders personally. This does not happen because you are a bad parent or because your child just "doesn't like you." Remind yourself when you are in the trench that this is a result of the hurt done to your child. Don't blame yourself. Don't blame your child. Reminding myself of that (sometimes dozens of times a day) really helps me difuse the situation, calm down my hurt feelings, and be more understanding to my child who more than anything just needs my understanding.

Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix Preview
Looking ahead to the unification of North American sports car racing in 2014, Dyson Racing has shuffled its driver lineup for the remainder of the 2013 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron season. Toronto resident Tony Burgess and Chris McMurry will drive the No. 16 Mazda/Thetford/Norcold Lola B12/60 in the P1 class at four of the remaining six races, beginning with Sunday's Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario. The two-hour, 45-minute race begins at 1 p.m. ET (LIVE, ESPN2 and ESPN3).
The two drivers will also team at Road America and Circuit of The Americas, and will co-drive with team sporting director Chris Dyson at the season-ending Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda at Road Atlanta. Johnny Mowlem — who has competed in every year in the ALMS — will drive for the team at Virginia International Raceway, while current drivers Dyson and Guy Smith will return for Baltimore.
"We've known that success next season for Dyson Racing will require an early start," Dyson said. "We are no longer in this year's championship hunt, and as our team will likely campaign a P2 car next year, we want to get started on that program sooner rather than later."
Burgess finished third in each of three races with the team last year, beginning with his home event at CTMP. McMurry finished third in the 2012 Petit Le Mans.
Dyson Racing is coming off its strongest showing of the season, leading the opening hour of the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park before finishing second.
Level 5, Extreme Speed Going Head-To-Head In P2 Title Race
Extreme Speed Motorsports moved up in class for 2013 but hope to repeat as winners when the team returns to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in the midst of a heated battle for the P2 class championship that came to a head at the recent race at Lime Rock Park.
Guy Cosmo led that race in the No. 01 ESM Tequila Patr¢n HPD ARX-03b, but was pressured in the closing laps by Ryan Briscoe in the No. 551 Level 5 Motorsports Siemens/Alpina Watches/Ohiya Casino Resort HPD ARX-03b after a late caution bunched the field for the sprint to the checkered flag.
With three minutes, 30 seconds remaining, Briscoe bumped Cosmo and took the lead when the ESM driver spun. Briscoe and co-driver Scott Tucker went on to take the checkered flag, while Cosmo recovered to finish second.
While their finishing positions stood, following a post-race review, the winning car was given a points-penalty to approximate a stop, plus 60-second penalty. Cosmo and Sharp received the maximum 20 points, while Tucker and Briscoe received 10 points, the equivalent of a fourth-place finish. Marino Franchitti, who finished third co-driving with Tucker, received 16 points. As a result, Franchitti currently leads the P2 standings by three points over Sharp, Cosmo and Tucker (72-69). Next is Briscoe, with 65 points.
Briscoe fractured his right wrist during last weekend's IZOD IndyCar Series event at Toronto and will not race this weekend. IndyCar veteran Mike Conway takes his place.
Four Canadian Drivers Look Forward To Competing In Home-Course Event
Fans at the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix will have four Canadian drivers to root for in their home race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Tony Burgess of Toronto will drive in the premier P1 class, sharing Dyson Racing's No. 16 Mazda/Thetford/Norcold Lola B12/60 with Chris McMurry. Burgess has three career ALMS podium finishes at the circuit.
Kuno Wittmer of Montreal drives in the GT class, joining Jonathan Bomarito in the SRT Motorsports No. 93 Pennzoil Ultra Viper GTS-R. The veteran of Formula Atlantic and World Challenge competition is running his first full season in the ALMS. Wittmer and Bomarito are coming off their best finish of the season, placing fifth at Lime Rock.
Kyle Marcelli of Barrie, Ontario and Chris Cumming of Vancouver drive the BAR1 Motorsports No. 8 Merchant Services LTD/Evident Capital/MBRP ORECA FLM09 in the Prototype Challenge presented by Continental Tire class. The drivers opened the season with a second-place finish in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, and are currently sixth in the PC point standings, 20 points behind leader Mike Guasch.
Marcelli, who grew up watching races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, won the IMSA Lites championship in 2009. A two-time winner in PC competition, Marcelli led last year's race and set the fastest race lap.
Cumming led last year's GTC class at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. A late-race unscheduled pit stop because of an engine problem with co-driver Michael Valiante at the wheel dropped the team from the class lead to a third-place finish in the final five minutes.
Cumming made his ALMS debut at the circuit in 2011, finishing fourth in GTC with JDX Racing.
Guasch, Cisneros Maintain Slim Leads As Challenge Titles Up For Grabs
Championships in both the Prototype Challenge presented by Continental Tire and GT Challenge classes are both up for grabs entering Sunday's Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Mike Guasch leads Colin Braun by only two points in the PC class (68-66)
Guasch, driver for PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports' No. 52 Molecule ORECA FLM09, was a winner at Sebring and Mazda Raceway. Guasch has rotated co-drivers this season, with his Canadian Tire Motorsport Park partner yet to be announced.
Braun took top honors at Long Beach and finished second at Lime Rock in CORE autosport's No. 05 Composite Resources ORECA. His co-driver, Jon Bennett, did not score points in the opening race at Sebring and is fourth in the championship with 54 points.
A driver to watch in PC is Bruno Junqueira, who is coming off a victory at Lime Rock to moved up to third in the standings with 55 points. He co-drives the No. 9 RSR Racing ORECA with Duncan Ende, who missed the opener at Sebring.
The GTC battle is even closer, with the top five drivers separated by only five points.
Henrique Cisneros leads the class with 62 points. The driver of NGT Motorsport's No. 30 MOMO Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is coming off his worst finish of the season, taking eighth after struggling with overheating issues and a late-race off-course excursion. Cisneros will co-drive at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park with Sean Edwards. This will be the third race of the year for Edwards, who won at Long Beach and finished third at Sebring. Cisneros also won at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, co-driving with Nick Tandy.
Nelson Canache Jr. and Spencer Pumpelly won at Lime Rock in the Flying Lizard Motorsports No. 45 Venezuela/eSilicon Porsche to pull within one point of the lead. The pair also finished second at Sebring.
Jeroen Bleekemolen and Cooper MacNeil are next in the standings, five points back. They opened the year by winning at Sebring in the Alex Job Racing No. 22 WeatherTech Porsche.
Six Races Remaining, Muller Not Satisfied With GT Championship Lead
Dirk Muller's victory at the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix extended his lead to 16 points in the GT point standings, but he feels it is too early in the season to take notice.
"Leading the championship is great, but it's still a long way," Muller said. "I've won the championship twice, so I know we have a lot left."
Muller and John Edwards co-drove the winning No. 56 Crowne Plaza BMW Z4 GTE for BMW Team RLL. It was Müller's 18th class victory in the ALMS. It was also the first ALMS victory for Edwards – who also captured his first pole in the series at Lime Rock.
"It's a shame that I am alone in first place without my co-driver," Müller said. "Unfortunately, John couldn't do the whole championship."
Lime Rock marked the second victory of the season for Team RLL's new BMW Z4, with Bill Auberlen and Maxime Martin winning Round 2 at Long Beach in the team's No. 55 Crown Plaza entry in only its second race.
"Racing the Z4 this season came very late," Muller said. "It was a short winter, but to be this good so soon is not surprising racing with BMW."
While Müller has 62 points and a 16-point lead in the standings, the next seven drivers are separated by just two points. Edwards is tied with Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia – drivers of the No. 3 Corvette Racing Compuware Corvette C6 ZR-1 – with 46 points. It's another point back to Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner, drivers of the No. 4 Corvette Racing Compuware Corvette C6 ZR-1. Auberlen and Maxime Martin are another point behind, with 44 each.
DeltaWing Set To Make Canadian Debut At CTMP
Coming off its most competitive outing this season, the popular DeltaWing LM12 is set for its Canadian debut in Sunday's Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix.
Andy Meyrick and Katherine Legge started 12th and ran as high as seventh overall in the most recent race at Lime Rock Park, where a solid run was ended by water pressure problems. Now, the team is focusing on continuing to develop the Élan engine and Bridgestone tires for its first visit to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. This will also be the first race at the historic Ontario circuit for both drivers.
"We made leaps and bounds forward with the car at Lime Rock, in terms of speed and handling," said Legge. "So we have a positive outlook going into this race. We know what we need to do to fix the issues that we had at Lime Rock. We also have made great strides with the tires – and the Bridgestone team has been terrific."
The DeltaWing will be joined in this weekend's P1 class by Muscle Milk Pickett Racing and Dyson Racing. Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf will be looking to score their fourth consecutive victory in the No. 6 Muscle Milk Pickett Racing HPD ARX-03c. The team has won every pole position and every race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park since making its debut at the venue in 2010. The Lime Rock victory extended Luhr's series record to 44 career victories.
