Dossier - The Warlord part 4
Walkthrough - Dossier - The Warlord part 4
Head out of that room and bear leftward. You'll see another pathway moving forward to a room across the chasm, but getting to that room isn't an easy endeavor. More enemies of all kinds will descend on your location, and it'll be up to you to deal with them as best you can before you continue forward, and onward with your quest. These foes are generally stronger than most of the enemies you've so far encountered. Indeed, most of them have plenty of weapons at their disposal, and can launch attacks from afar (with rockets) or up close (with more conventional weapons) at will. Thus, the idea should be to keep them as far away as possible, as you deal with a single threat at a time. When all enemies are killed, storm their position, and you'll find plenty of items to acquire, including credits in an open wall safe, a PDA to hack for more credits, and much more. No wonder they were so adamant about guarding this location!
As you find your way to the next staircase leading up to yet another door (are you getting used to this yet?), you'll eventually emerge in another outdoor area. Though you've been fiercely fighting your way through this entire area for most of your duration on this planet, it should go without saying that the deeper into the base you get, the more difficult things will become. This won't be any more obvious when you begin fighting here. This large area will throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, so you're going to have to be patient. There are two main paths through much of the area, so do what's most comfortable for you here. The main idea should be to concentrate on single targets at a time, and remain in cover for as long as you're being bombarded with enemy fire.
Eventually, you'll get to push through this introductory location, and will be forced to head leftward up more stairs, towards the location of the Krogan's laboratory (we're getting close!). However, doing so will mean you'll be fighting foes from below, which gives them an inherent advantage. As usual, patiently wait for enemies to appear, and take them out rapidly. Then, seek cover, and repeat the process over and over again. Rinse, lather and repeat. When you've walked up the stairs the enemies were so adamantly guarding, all that's left to do is deal with the straggling Blue Suns enemies ahead -- a fairly simple task, if you've made it this far. The only way out of this area is through a door into a small office with a Krogan corpse in it, but before heading there, be sure you scour the entire area you just fought through for much-needed ammunition. Then, explore the office for a medical kit, credits, and other items. Pushing through into the adjacent room will finally allow you to meet the much sought-after Krogan doctor.
Dr. Solus would have laughed at you back on the Normandy if you suggested that there was a Krogan scientist worth anything anywhere in the galaxy, but here, you'll find just such a specimen. Dr. Okeer is a Krogan who believes in his people's right to survive. His life's work has been to eliminate the genophage from Krogan life. Mass Effect veterans will know full-well what the genophage is, but for those of you who are for some reason playing this game without having played the first, the genophage is a genetic disease created by the Salarians and used on the Krogans during a war that limits the Krogans' ability to breed. Only one in a thousand births is viable because of it, and Dr. Okeer wants to do something about it. He's important because he's openly contacted The Collectors, with success, in getting their help to do his work. And as you can see, his work is important to him, no matter how bloody, brutal, or downright wrong it happens to be.

The image of horse-riding warriors wearing flowing feather bonnets two hundred years ago is an enduring one. However, it is not necessarily a complete, or even a correct picture. Here is "the rest of the story."
Consider the history of the horse. This animal evolved in North America, as early as 55 million years ago. During the Ice Ages, some 2.6 million years ago, they expanded their territory into South America as well as the Old World. The earliest settlers in the Americas may have seen the last survivors of the genus Equus in the Americas before these animals became extinct on the continent, surviving only in the Old World (Asia, Africa and Europe). It was only with the arrival of European settlers that modern horses, now much bigger than their ancestors, were reintroduced into the Americas. Horse riding culture among American Indians dates back at most a few centuries, not millennia.

Another iconic image associated with Plains Indian culture is buffalo hunting. Bison hunting (the term buffalo is a misnomer) must have been impressive in its scale and the scope of planning that preceded it. Bison were hunted long before the arrival of European horses. Texas is home to the famous Bonfire kill site, located on the border with Mexico. There, in a small side canyon of the lower Pecos River, hunter-gatherers ran bison over the edge of a cliff several times over a time span of several centuries. These types of hunt were exceptional; they were supplemented by hunting other animals and gathering plant foods. The latter activity probably provided the greatest amount of sustenance to American Indians. Not all Plains tribes hunted bison. Numerous tribes were farmers planting crops, such as corn, introduced from what is now Mexico.

Plains Indian culture is still around today and it is part of a wider American Indian society. Plains Indians can be found on the reservations throughout the United States, or on the bus sitting next to you. Like any other human culture, Plains Indian culture has evolved, while celebrating aspects of its past. Traditional dances became Powwow dances about a century ago and remain very popular. Beadwork, introduced about 150 years ago, also continues to evolve.

Tim Lincecum's fall from grace ends with move to Giants' bullpen
SAN FRANCISCO — Right-hander Tim Lincecum has been moved to the San Francisco Giants' bullpen as he tries to work through his latest struggles.
Yusmeiro Petit will replace him in the rotation, manager Bruce Bochy said Monday. Bochy met with Lincecum (10-9) on Sunday about the decision.
"He's fine," Bochy said before his team opened a four-game home series with Colorado. "He's going to work on some things. It's no problem with him."
Lincecum, the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, is coming off the second-shortest start of his career Saturday at Washington. He was tagged for six runs, four earned, on six hits with four walks in 22/3 innings.
He pitched his second no-hitter against San Diego in less than a year June 25, but has lost four out of his last five decisions with just one win in his last seven starts. Lincecum received a $35 million, two-year contract in October.
Petit will pitch Thursday afternoon's series finale with the Rockies at AT&T Park. Whether Lincecum stays in the bullpen and Petit in the rotation beyond Thursday will depend how they each do. "We'll make that call on the next start after this Petit start," Bochy said.
Bochy announced second baseman Marco Scutaro is done for the season with his recurring back problems and resting at home in Florida. He played in only five games.
Also Monday, the Giants optioned infielder Adam Duvall to Triple-A Fresno and recalled right-hander George Kontos.

A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Our company is focused on developing and running mostly travel websites. We are launching a new website called Tripomatic.com and we need a new design for it. The website will help travelers plan their trips all round the world and provide information about interesting places.
Target audience are people (usually 18-40 years old) all round the world interested in leisure traveling, trip planning, etc.
We need a webdesign for our new website – Tripomatic.com
The blue logo Tripomatic (TripomaticLogo.ai) has to be used (attached).
We haven't chosen colors for our website. It is up to you which colors will be used.
We want the design to be simple, modern and user-friendly.
Designers please feel free to be creative
Do not follow the attached wire frames strictly. The design however has to contain all items and features.
The page must fit 1024x768 standard resolution with important features above the fold.
This is NOT the homepage of Tripomatic.com, we have chosen a content page because it best represents most of the pages within the site.
- The header
Has to contain the website logo, avatar of the user, his first and last name (it will be taken from Facebook) and a link to a page with a list of user's trips.
- Body
Our sample page (country detail) has to consist of:

Rating system (e.g. stars)
Links to (max 6) regions
Links to cities (6+)
A list of activities (Top Activites)
Description of the place will be around 300 words – 600 words (we would like to use "show more" after 300 words)
The categories will be buttons which you can turn on/off. User should be able to figure out that he/she can select more categories
The activities will look like a card with a picture (75x75px), a short description (140 characters), rating and a name.
- Right Stack (My Trip Stack)
Users will be able to fill this stack with activities cards (like ones in the list of activities in the body) using drag and drop or "add to stack" button.
When the stack is empty it should provide some guidance to its function (like the note inside, it's shape, or grayed button image) User has to understand that he can drag and drop activities from the "Top activites" list to the stack or use the button "add to stack"
- Feel free to use other alternative names / texts for any item on page.
- All headlines etc. must be textual (i.e. do not use fancy fonts or effects that cannot be done using CSS)

A lot of us are stuck in a world of multiple means of connecting with people, but one of the core methods that will remain for the foreseeable future is the telephone.

We'll need to receive phone calls.

Performer displays a cylindrical brass block, and a brass tube closed at one end into which the block just fits. Also displayed is a metal rod. The block and tube both have a hole across them. When the block is placed in the tube, and the rod pushed through the hole, the block is locked in place in the tube. It cannot be removed. Yet the performer causes the block to penetrate off the metal rod with a mere tap of his hands. You get the brass block, the tube and the metal rod.

... he loses the bishop, but I don't have enough support downrange that I can clinch mate if he sacrifices his bishop. At least not that I see. Tell me I'm wrong.
I'm looking at the chess game, and you said there was a way he could extend the game, I am reasonably sure that there is no way for him to avoid mate in 3 (like paradiso said). However, I could be mistaken. Could you please send me the move that you think might disrupt mate in 3?

There is one piece of sport or hobby equipment that I have never made a lesson out of and I thought I would submit a tutorial on an object that is used by more people than one might think. Today, I will be teaching you "how to draw a surfboard", step by step. These almost banana shaped boards where developed in Hawaii, and to islanders, the boards are something of a necessity if you like riding the waves for most of your day. The early surfboards where usually made from local koa trees which made them heavy for one person to transport around. Nowadays, surfboards are made from materials like polyurethane, and fiberglass. Now even though they are fifteen feet in length, surfboards are relatively light to carry now, then ever before. They can be carried under one arm, but they can also support the weight of anyone that stands on them. Under the bottom side of a board is fins, and these fins are used to help the surfer maneuver as he/she rides the waves. Surfing is a sport that has been active as early as the 1920's and it is even a stronger going sport today. I think you will enjoy learning from the tutorial that is going to show you "how to draw a surfboard", step by step and the best part is, you will be done in no time at all. I will be back because I still have two more lessons to upload for your entertainment, and enjoyment. Adios people and enjoy the rest of your drawing day!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Spring Could Bring Worst Allergy Season Ever
(NEW YORK) -- In news that's nothing to sneeze at, seasonal allergy experts are confirming that 2013 allergies are going to start sooner -- and last longer -- in most parts of the country.
The 2013 allergy season is expected to begin about 14 days earlier in many parts of the United States. Experts also believe that seasonal allergies will last about 30 days longer, running through the month of October.
"We're expecting to see a very robust allergy season because of a lot of precipitation during late winter and the warmer temperatures we're seeing now throughout the country," says adult and pediatric allergy specialist Dr. Clifford Bassett, clinical assistant professor of medicine at the New York University School of Medicine and Langone Medical Center.
Higher-than-normal carbon dioxide emissions could be fueling pollen production, in effect telling plants to produce three to five times more pollen. "This is the physical effect of increasing greenhouse gases on certain plants," Dr. Bassett claims.
In fact, United States Department of Agriculture studies found that a single ragweed plant could be producing up to 4 billion pollen grains. "Not only is the pollen more prolific, it seems to be more powerful, supercharged," Dr. Bassett explains.
Additionally, large amounts of precipitation in late winter combined with warmer current temperatures set the stage for excess tree pollen.
Which days will be the worst? Higher levels of pollen generally occur on warm, dry, and windy days, while lower levels of seasonal pollen circulate on calm, wet, and cloudy days.
Dr. Bassett has a few expert tips to help you survive the allergy season:
Gauge It
To get a sense of your seasonal allergy status, visit allergyandasthmarelief.org to take a free allergy relief test. Before starting any type of treatment, get your seasonal allergies confirmed with a simple in-office allergy test; otherwise, you could be treating the wrong problem. Allergy shots may reduce or slow down your allergy problem and have been shown to give long-term relief in nearly 90 percent of patients, Dr. Bassett notes.
Treat Early
If you use nasal or oral antihistamines, steroids, or eye drops for seasonal allergies, don't wait until your symptoms are unbearable to start treatment. "If you see an allergist and get tested, the doctor can quickly individualize treatment, telling you when you should take medications and when to be on pre-treatment or allergy alert."
Be In the Know
Make a habit of checking your local allergy levels. Go to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology's National Allergy Bureau for up-to-date pollen counts. You can even sign up for email alerts or download a smartphone app that tracks pollen counts.
Be Shady
Wear oversized sunglasses to block airborne pollens from hitting your eyes. This can help prevent redness and watery eyes.
Finally, accessorize from the top. Wearing a hat -- preferably a wide-brimmed one -- can help keep pollen and other allergens from landing in your hair and eyes.

Girls, this one's for you!
Niagara University's Institute of Applied Learning, an arm of its College of Education, is offering a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Camp for girls in grades 7 to 9. The camp runs Aug. 13 to 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.
Topics that will be covered during the camp include:
Frontiers of Energy Sources: Participants will explore a wide variety of energy sources, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. The many uses of fossil fuels, solar, biofuel, wind and nuclear sources for energy efficient operations will be covered, as will the ability to use alternate energy sources to make devices run. Finally, the group will explore careers in the global energy resources industry.
Fat, Salt and Sugar: Campers will discover how these white powders influence the electricity in their bodies and how they affect health. They will also investigate how fructose results in fat deposition and why some fats improve health while others are "equal-opportunity destroyers."
Making Organic Sunscreen: Participants will learn how sunscreen protects them from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and prevents skin cancer. They will discover why some chemicals in commercial sunscreens can irritate the skin and find out what organic compounds can naturally absorb the sun's UV rays. The group will be taught how to prepare organic sunscreen.
Making Natural, Non-Toxic Dyes: Students will be instructed on how to dye fabrics using plants and flowers. They will learn how to select plant and flower dye materials, make their own dyes and prepare the fabric so that the dye will adhere to it.

Chances are that I'm sound asleep as you read this post, no matter what time of the day it may happen to be. I've been up all night working on the upload of my new site design, right on the heels of a painfully long 45-hour journey from Singapore to Cancun.
So, if you could try your best to keep your screams of excitement to a minimum (you are excited about the new site, right?), it would be much appreciated so that I can catch up on my much needed rest.
With that said, there is no denying that today is a swell day. As should be quite obvious by this point, it is the day that I introduce to you my new website design.
My wonderful readers, this is my new website design. New website design, these are my wonderful readers.
I have a feeling that you're all going to get along remarkably well!
When I finally decided to replace my original design, which I had created myself despite having no knowledge of how to do so (I know, it showed), I chose Ali Dark of DigitalEmpowerment.com.au for the job. So first off, I'd like to offer Ali my sincerest thanks for all of your hard work and patience over the past few months. I'm quite certain that I was as frustrating a client as there ever was given the fact that I would disappear to places such as Iraq on a moment's notice and leave you with questions unanswered for extended periods of time. But you're free of me now (and probably celebrating that fact as I write).
Seriously, though, thank you Ali!
(Ali specializes in fully customized WordPress themes so if you're looking to re-invent your own site, I can fully recommend his services. He also informed me this morning that he'll be offering a variety of special deals to any reader of this site who contacts him. He can be reached through DigitalEmpowerment.com.au.)
A few new widgets here, a few new widgets there, a splash of color, a new header, better navigation and VOILA… we have a new site design! But what does this fresh design really offer visitors?
The main focus was on creating a site that visitors could interact with and benefit from more easily, which is the reason for the content-packed Home Page. There's also a handful of useful features that my old site just didn't have, such as:
"Live a Life of Travel" Resources – This is the nifty page where you'll find some of the most essential guides and resources designed to help anyone live a life of travel. Whether you're interested in a one-year trip or a decade of non-stop adventure, look no further. (These resources are either written by yours truly or by other long-term world travelers such as Anil from FoxNomad.com and Dave from TravelBlogSuccess.)
"Where I've Been Map" – The addition of this map on the Home Page is so that you can easily see where I've been in the world in case you have any questions or need any travel advice. As those who have emailed me in the past already know, I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have about virtually anything!
"Video Widget" – As I plan on adding a regular video series to this blog, Ali included a new video widget in the sidebar in order to highlight these video posts. The new series will start in April!
"Categories" – Yes, a clear, organized list of post Categories is something I should have added a long time ago. At least I have one now (in the footer) and I think this addition alone will make navigating through this site significantly easier from now on.
What else? Well, there's much more, but there's really no sense in me writing about it all here when it's all just a click away 🙂 In addition, what you see now is not the end. There are more new features on the way over the coming months as I start to become a little more serious about my blogging.
That's right. I must admit that a major reason for launching this new site design, apart from my need to get rid of the slow-loading, user un-friendly, poorly designed previous version, was to re-inspire me to focus on this blog.
While blogging may seem quite easy, let me state that for anyone who is constantly traveling, it ain't easy at all. In fact, it's beyond difficult. I simply don't have the luxury of sitting down in a comfortable chair at a well-positioned desk each day to write posts, read other blogs or stay active with social media.
For the past 4096 days, I've been 'on the road' and living out of my backpack, and such a nomadic lifestyle, especially if one wants to extract as much education and opportunity from their adventures as possible, is an exhausting full-time job. (*By 'on the road', I mean living, traveling, volunteering or working away from my home country).
Combine this full-time job with the 30+ hours per week I spend working on internet projects that actually earn me money and that adds up to 2 full-time jobs. Throw in the need for constant travel planning – accommodation, flights and other transportation, visas and more – and sometimes it feels as if I have 3 full-time jobs. As you can see, this leaves very little time for me to concentrate on my blog (which requires a nearly full-time effort as well) especially if I want to see anything beyond my hotel room or a cafe with free Wi-Fi in the countries I visit.
Somehow, I've managed to squeeze by so far, to work, travel and blog at the same time over the past 16 months. However, I've now realized – and I'm sure any long-term traveler and nomad will agree – such an intense pace is impossible to maintain for very long.
Anyway, the point is, I needed a change. And that is what this new site design represents. From now on, there's going to be a shift in the way I spend my time. I am indeed going to concentrate more on this blog while spending less time on my other projects. Sure, it's somewhat of a gamble to put less energy into the things that actually earn me money but I believe wholeheartedly in this blog and my nomadic lifestyle more than ever these days.
I want this site to continue growing so that my 11+ years of global wandering can help convince even more people that a life of extended travel is not some crazy fantasy, but a very real lifestyle option instead. I want you to receive a sudden burst of motivation and confidence in your ability to live a unique life according to your own terms every time you visit this site. And the only way for me to ensure this happens is for me to re-prioritize and focus on what is most important to me (yes, this blog).
So, once again, new website design, I introduce you to my wonderful readers. Wonderful readers, please welcome my new website design.
I invite you to have a look around. The Home Page is the perfect place to start! And at this point, feel free to scream out with joy as loud as you wish. I don't think anything can wake me up today.

I lived in Italy for over year and have returned many times for work and pleasure. I travel extensively throughout the north but never went south of Tuscany as time and budget simply did not afford.
Some of the most beautiful memories I have are from Verona. A very old city sitting more or less midway between Venenzia and Milano. Driving is forbidden in the old city and so one is allowed to wander without fear of being run over by motor bikes, cars and buses. History is found at every corner and alley, neatly framing the huge open air market which was once the center of social activity. Today it is bustling with tourists.
Just today I found three pictures in an obscure place and so, immediately decided to scan and upload.

British singer Adele is deliberately keeping her baby's name a secret because she is convinced the news is too "personal" to share.
The soul star and her boyfriend Simon Konecki welcomed their first child together in October but the Grammy-winner has remained tight-lipped about the details and refused to reveal what she has called her little boy.
Adele returned to the spotlight at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday to pick up the Best Original Song trophy for her Bond theme tune "Skyfall," and during the event, she described her experiences as a new mom.
However, the "Rolling In The Deep" hitmaker insists her son's name will remain a secret.
Adele tells People.com, "I am exhausted, that's how motherhood changed me. I have eczema from boiling bottles… I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me. I am enjoying him on my own."
The singer has reportedly been keeping the name quiet by refusing to register his birth back in her native U.K. and faces a fine if she does not fill in the official paperwork.

Take This Job, Shove It, Post About It on Facebook
Social media is awesome for brands and people who think they are brands, because it lets them talk directly to their fans. No filter. How great is that?
Except when it turns out they need a filter.
Chris Brown, for instance, probably shouldn't be using Twitter without supervision. But we keep seeing evidence that Professional Social Media Users can also use some help.
Latest example: A message that showed up on the Montana Office of Tourism's Facebook page last Friday for a brief period: "F this job. I just want to live in Whitefish with my future husband. Leaving Bozeman for good tomorrow […] Thanks for the good times MercuryCSC!"
Turns out the message was left by a former employee of MercuryCSC, the Bozeman-based "creative strategic communications" agency that was heading up social for Montana's tourism office. The agency has apologized and "is no longer performing social media work" for the state.
You can get the blow-by-blow from Becker's Online Journal, via AdWeek. If you're in the mood to see more public flame-outs from people who are paid to know better, check out this excellent Digiday listicle.

"We are at a crossroads in Wyoming," says WGFD Director Scott Talbott. "Our costs for managing Wyoming's world-class wildlife resources continue to rise dramatically, while many of our traditional funding sources are in decline. We remain committed to maintaining broad-based public access to outdoor recreation opportunities. But meeting this goal, and maintaining current levels of services and programs, requires additional funding. To offset the effects of inflation and reduced numbers of deer and antelope licenses issued, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department needs to raise an additional 8 to10 million dollars annually to continue to provide current levels of services and programs."
The most recent license fee increase in Wyoming was in 2008. That increase was intended to carry the department through 2012. By implementing operational efficiencies and cutting costs, including a three percent budget reduction this year, the department will be able to maintain adequate operating funds through 2014. If the department is not able to obtain additional revenues by 2015, budget cuts of up to 20 percent may be necessary beginning in 2015.
License fee indexing would give the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission authority to adjust license fees based on the rate of inflation with periodic commission and legislative review. Currently, nearly all license fees are approved by the Wyoming Legislature.
Proposed license fee adjustments (see table below) are based on rates of inflation, prices in adjacent states, and optimum price points calculated by Southwick Associates, an independent research firm specializing in fish and wildlife economics and statistics.
A big game license super raffle would raise revenue by selling chances for a big game license, or a combination of big game licenses, for an area of hunter choice in Wyoming. This type of raffle has proven effective in raising substantial funds in other states.
Separating white-tailed and mule deer licenses would help increase revenue by allowing some hunters to purchase one of each type of deer license. The change would also help wildlife managers adjust population densities in areas with both white-tailed and mule deer.
The department will also conduct an analysis to determine if a subscription price increase for Wyoming Wildlife Magazine would raise additional revenue, and how much of an increase would raise much-needed revenue without sacrificing subscriber numbers.
"These proposals, if adopted, will allow the department to maintain its current level of service for four or five years, and maybe a little longer," says WGFD Deputy Director John Emmerich. Beyond that, there is a real need to find new and alternative sources of funding. Hunters and anglers currently pay for 80 percent of our operating costs and will continue to be a vital source for funding support in the future. However, it is no longer fair for them to bear such a high percentage of our budget, especially in a state like Wyoming, where so many people benefit from our wildlife."
The department has set up a page on the WGFD website for the public to submit comments and will hold a statewide public meeting on October 11 at 7:00 pm to discuss both short-term funding proposals and longer term funding issues. The public is encouraged to review these proposals and discuss them with WGFD personnel or provide comments via the website. Those interested can take part in the meeting at any WGFD office or via the internet at http://bit.ly/GameFish. Input will be used to develop a final proposal for consideration by the Legislative Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Joint Committee at their November 9, 2012, meeting in Lander.
"We really want to hear from the public on our proposals for short-term funding increases, as well as ideas for broadening our funding base," says Talbott. "We'll review everything we hear from the public with the legislature to determine the best path forward."
The WGFD is taking public comments in person at the October 11 meeting, or through October 24 on the WGFD website at wgfd.wyo.gov

Most frightening time of year for Virginians: The General Assembly begins its 2005 session January 12.
Newest potential criminals in Virginia: Women who suffer miscarriages and fail to report them to police within 12 hours face a $2,500 fine and up to 12 months in jail under HB 1677.
Quickest change of heart: Delegate John Cosgrove, patron of HB 1677, drops the controversial bill January 10, according to Chris Graham at the Augusta Free Press.
Biggest issue for UVA: Charter status, which the General Assembly will consider this session.
Biggest spenders: The City of Charlottesville has the largest increase in per capita spending, according to the Free Enterprise Forum. City officials pooh-pooh that analysis in the Progress.
Newest chairs: Dennis Rooker is elected chairman of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors January 5, and Ken Boyd is elected vice chairman.
Best timed resignation: Susan Allen steps down from the Dominion Virginia Power board January 5, the same day her husband, Senator George Allen, takes a seat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Biggest indoor bust: Eighty-four pot plants are found growing in a Fluvanna County home that borders the Lake Monticello subdivision, Braxton Williams reports in the Progress. Police peg the plants at a value of $300,000, and arrest Phillip Fix and Cheryl Libbea.
Oddest Amber Alert: Meriwether Lewis, Hollymead Elementary and Burley Middle School are ordered to lockdown January 5 after a 10-year-old girl is abducted in North Baltimore, according to James Fernald in the Progress. "We made a mistake on this one," says Superintendent Kevin Castner. "We had some miscommunication and corrected it pretty fast."
Worst form of art criticism: Vandals destroy the Art in Place snowman on the U.S. 250 bypass January 8, and damage Bad Case of the Mondays, a former Art in Place sculpture that had been purchased by Charlottesville and was installed near the entrance to McIntire Park. Reed Williams has the story in the Progress.
Worst news for George Mason University students: Hackers abscond with Social Security numbers and other personal information for more than 30,000 student and staff earlier this month.
Best debunking: UVA prof Glenn Gaesser takes on fad diets in his new book, It's the Calories, Not the Carbs.
Most eye-catching headline in a story about a UVA doc: "Mothers who share breast milk" in the January 4 Wall Street Journal notes how surgery resident Shannon McElearney FedExed 150 ounces of her frozen milk to a woman (a web acquaintance) in New Jersey.
Trip most likely to interest Francophile and City Councilor Blake Caravati: The Chamber of Commerce is toying with the idea of a visit to Charlottesville's sister city in France, Besancon.
Most unusual missing pet: Joy, a three-year-old llama, jumps the fence at her Ivy home January 9 and is last spotted in Crozet, WINA reports.
Best way for Virginia pacifists to express their views: The legislature, which routinely devotes time to approving license plates, will likely give the go ahead to a peace license plate– unless it becomes too controversial.
Worst breakup since Tom and Nicole: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston announce their separation January 7.

Duck and Cover reports that Brian Fargo, the original founder of Interplay, and currently the CEO of inXile, might be working on a game for Bethesda Softworks. When asked about what he was promoting on his tour of Europe, Fargo said:
"My Chippendales calendar ;) actually our game that we are doing for Bethesda that has been under wraps for a couple years."— 18 Feb 2010
For now it is unknown whether Fargo was being serious or making a joke. We'll let you know when we know more.
Fargo left Interplay in 2002, after the company was purchased by Herve Caen's Titus. He then went on to start inXile Entertainment, and has mentioned on numerous occasions that he would like to create a sequel to Fallout's predecessor, Wasteland, co-created by Fargo himself. In 2007, inXile hired Jason Anderson, one of the original creators of Fallout, to work on a new, so far unannounced cRPG.

Crème brûlée
Is there anything better than a creamy, scrumptious dessert that mixes all the best ingredients to make something to savor? :-) Crème brûlée is my favorite French dessert, which also happens to be one of the easiest ones to make, in a way. It's a perfect solution for leftover yolks (after making Swiss meringue or Italian meringue buttercream)—one batch of the buttercream allows making 4-6 mini bowls of the dessert!
To prepare the crusty shell on top, you will need a blowtorch—you can get a small one at some convenience stores, and however some recipes out there suggest using a broiler instead, this method is faster, easier, and allows you to control the amount of browned caramel on top.
Golden syrup chocolate cupcakes
These cupcakes have an amazing consistency all-over: the cupcake is moist and rich, and the icing is delicious, smooth and creamy. I used the swiss-meringue buttercream for the icing, and it was a hit! :-)
Cream-cheese strawberry cupcakes
Nothing compliments the strawberries like the cream-cheese icing, and you can enjoy this taste even off-season with strawberry jam! :-) You can skip limit the calories in this recipe by using lighter strawberry jam, or pulverized strawberries, and using half of the sugar in the cupcake part if you want the cupcakes less sweet.
Baked cake doughnuts
Traditional-made doughnuts are made with yeast dough, and deep-fried to make a fluffy, delicious spongy cake. It requires a lot of work to cook them, though, but for quick snacks (Sunday breakfast maybe?) the easier way are the baked cake doughnuts—which are spongy, fluffy and delicious too! You can enjoy them bare (like cakes), or glazed (like traditional yeast doughnuts), or stuffed if you overfill the form by any chance! :-)
Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.

Transfer news: Gerard Pique hoping Thiago stays at Barcelona
Gerard Pique has urged Thiago Alcantara to remain at Barcelona as reports link him with a high-profile move elsewhere.
Last Updated: 19/06/13 9:18am
Thiago enhanced his growing reputation at the European U21 Championship as he skippered Spain to another major international crown.
He netted a hat-trick in a 4-2 final victory over Italy on Tuesday, suggesting he is ready to play a prominent role at one of Europe's top clubs.
Barcelona hope he will continue to blossom at Camp Nou, but he finds himself behind the likes of Andres Iniesta and Xavi in Catalunya and made just 15 La Liga starts last season.
Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are believed to be among those prepared to offer Thiago the stage his talent deserves, but Pique has called on the 22-year-old forward to be patient and wait for his opportunity at Barca.
He told Onda Cero: "There is a possibility that he could leave but we have to convince him that the best place for him is Barcelona.
"Players in his position like Xavi were patient and they ended up defining an era."
Should Thiago end up leaving Camp Nou for Old Trafford, as is being widely reported, he already has one big admirer in Manchester, with United defender Rio Ferdinand among those to have been left purring at the quality Spain possess throughout their international ranks.
He tweeted after their U21 success: "Spain u21s were too much! Thiago wants the ball under pressure, he demands it anywhere. We need to produce that kind of mentality in our kids."

(CNN) -- Sometime on Sunday, the world will lurch a little on its axis. There'll be a thunderclap heard around the globe, a blinding flash of light, and the people of the Internet will fall to their knees in reverence.
On that day, Justin Bieber will pass Lady Gaga as the most followed account on Twitter.
As of Friday afternoon Gaga had more than 33,198,000 followers -- some 46,000 more than Bieber, who was close behind at 33,152,000. (That's more than the population of Peru.)
But The Biebs is gaining fans at a faster rate, and according to Twitter Counter, which forecasts such things, he will pass Gaga on Sunday between 4:23 p.m. and 4:24 p.m. ET.
The carefully coiffed li'l crooner will become Twitter's first new king or queen (er, prince?) since Lady Gaga dethroned Britney Spears in August 2010 -- way back when 5 million followers was a big deal. (For some reason, 7 of the 10 most-followed Twitter accounts are singers.)
But can his Beliebers keep him on top? Will Gaga's Little Monsters mount a comeback? Or are the two pop stars fated to battle for Twitter supremacy for months, or years to come? Oh, the drama!
Now, as they say in boxing, for the Tale of the Tape. Let's measure these dueling tweeters, toe to toe:
Gaga: 26
Bieber: 18
Gaga: New York City
Bieber: London, Ontario (that's Canada, people)
Gaga: 3
Bieber: 3 (his fourth, "Believe Acoustic," will be released January 29)
Grammy nominations
Gaga: 15
Bieber: 2
Grammys won
Gaga: 5
Bieber: 0
Time on Twitter
Gaga: 4 years, 11 months
Bieber: 3 years, 10 months
Recent tweet
So proud of @justinbieber and all the Beliebers! I'm only happy to see your fans growing in size, you all deserve it! Monsters support you!— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) January 16, 2013
6 years ago today u all started to change my life. Thank u. Love u. #stillkidrauhl— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) January 15, 2013

Gaga: Has 14 tattoos
Bieber: Infatuated with the color purple

Engineer Kevin Heath said two sets of water lines are involved.

Google's self-driving cars make too much sense not to be everywhere soon.
They're safer than human drivers.
And, other than dealing with snow on the ground, the technology behind them is pretty much there.
The big remaining hold-up is laws.
So, it's notable that Google just took a big step to overcome that obstacle.
Wired reports Google just hired Ron Medford, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's deputy director.
He should help Google navigate the government.
Wired's Damon Lavrinc:
Medford's departure comes just a week after NHTSA began the development of a program to regulate and set performance standards for autonomous vehicles, with NHTSA administrator David Strickland announcing plans to work on a two- to three-year research project that will oversee the regulation of autonomous vehicles in the next several years.
"Deputy Administrator Medford brings a long history of working on safety issues involving automobiles and other consumer products," a NHTSA spokesman told Wired, "and will use that experience at Google."

Rescue Profile: Hiscock
Case #: 15602
Joe Hiscock and his son were looking forward to one of their regular hunting trips to their cabin outside of Burgeo, a rural town situated on the south coast of Newfoundland. Located well off the beaten track with no accessible roads for the last 35 kilometers, the only way in and out of the property is by private helicopter. Snowmobiles are also used in winter months. Since the cabin is in a remote area beyond the reach of both cellular and traditional GSM networks, Joe relies on his SPOT Satellite Messenger to keep in touch with family during his hunting trips. "I use SPOT all year around to stay in touch with my family, to let them know where I am and what I am doing. It's fantastic."
Rescue Profile: Garrett
Case #: 15466
Garrett Atkinson and a friend were hiking the Four Pass Loop near Aspen, CO separated by the trail head by over 13 miles in all directions. On the second night, Garrett spent the entire night coughing up blood and fighting his every breath. The next day he tried with all his might to walk out but continued to fall after several attempts. "I was extremely dizzy and nauseated," Garrett remembers. In that moment he knew there was no chance of making it off the trail alone and pressed the SOS button on his
SPOT device.
Within two hours, hope had arrived. The helicopter landed and loaded Garrett before taking off to the Aspen Hospital where they found he had developed high-altitude sickness and pulmonary edema.
Rescue Profile: Stan
Case #: 15054
On a Tuesday morning in June, experienced hiker Stan Reese set out on a solo 4 day hike in the mountainous area outside of San Bernardino, California. Everything was going great until day three of his hike. As Reese started to hike towards San Gorgonian Mountain, he looked over his left shoulder to the north and saw heavy smoke. Being a southern California resident, he knew that meant a wildfire had broken out and he would need to abandon his plans immediately.
Reese quickly returned to his campsite, crammed all of his stuff into his pack and started to hike out of the increasingly dangerous area. He visualized the direction of the fire and felt there was no immediate risk in his plan since the smoke was pushing to the east and away from where his car was parked.
Rescue Profile: Frank
Case #: 14356
Frank Rawley is an avid sailor and said he always checks the weather prior to setting sail. Although conditions were listed as fair, he and his crew found themselves in bad weather on the second day of their journey from North Carolina to Pensacola. The forecast had been wrong in both directions and the wind grew extremely rapid, damaging the sails and rigging. It was then that Frank activated the S.O.S. on his SPOT Gen3, alerting GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center of his location.
"If the boat had been parallel with the waves, we would have capsized," said Frank. "We were 63 miles offshore in 30 foot breaking seas with wind gusts at 50 miles per hour. We deployed a drogue, but eventually the waves ripped it off."
Rescue Profile: Tom
Case #: 13665
Tom Madlem had been riding motorcycles for 50 years. Death Valley was one trip he had never taken before though. He and a friend had planned to take 2 weeks off and make the ride. However, the first part of the trip was going to force Madlem to commit the "cardinal sin" - biking alone.
This meant he would be riding alone through the desert for two days before meeting up with his friend. After his wife and son begged him not to go by himself, he was then convinced to purchase his SPOT GEN3™ for the trip so his family would have peace of mind. He made it the first day just fine alone. Tuesday morning, he had not ridden 10 miles when he took a hard fall on his bike.

About WISHA, DOSH, and OSHA
- How do OSHA, WISHA, and DOSH relate?
- What about RCWs and WACs?
How do OSHA, WISHA, and DOSH relate?
OSHA (the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
- was created by the U.S. Congress in 1971 to develop and enforce workplace safety and health rules throughout the country,
- allows states to run their own safety and health programs as long as they are at least as effective as OSHA ("state plan states") (www.osha.gov),
- accepted Washington as a "state plan state" (www.osha.gov) (like 25 other states),
- has jurisdiction in Washington State over only
- workplaces with federal employees;
- nonfederal employees working on federal reservations and military bases;
- employees working on floating worksites (such as floating dry docks, fishing boats, construction barges); and
- employees working for tribal employers on tribal lands; and
- can be found online at www.OSHA.gov.
WISHA (the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act of 1973)
- is a statute (state law) in the RCW, specifically RCW 49.17 (app.leg.wa.gov) (there are also other RCWs that relate to occupational safety and health);
- empowers L&I to create and enforce safety and health regulations;
- allows Washington rules/regulations to be more stringent than OSHA's, if needed;
- applies to you if
- you hire someone to work for you as an employee, including workers from a temporary agency;
- you are hired to work for someone as their employee;
- you have elected industrial insurance coverage for yourself if you own your own business or you are a corporate officer;
- you have a contract with someone else that primarily involves personal labor, even though you are not required to pay industrial insurance or unemployment insurance premiums;
- you volunteer your personal labor; or
- you have volunteers working for you who receive any benefit or compensation; and
- is further described in the pamphlet A Guide to Workplace Safety and Health in Washington State: What Every Employer and Worker Should Know (F416-132-000).
DOSH (the Division of Occupational Safety and Health) is part of the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) that
- develops safety and health rules;
- enforces safety and health rules by inspecting worksites for unsafe working conditions (read a report on how DOSH Enforcement & Consultation has impacted claims rates & costs here (53 KB PDF));
- provides free on-site consultations to help employers create safe and healthy workplaces;
- provides free training, safety and health programs, and other resources to help prevent, find, and fix hazards;
- was called WISHA Services (Washington Industrial Safety and Health Administration) until 2006; and
- is a topic in the L&I online safety course History of Health & Safety – Why DOSH exists (24 minutes; click link to start).
What about RCWs and WACs?
RCW/RCWs stands for the "Revised Code of Washington" and
- is the collection of all state laws (the RCW) or a single statute (WISHA is an RCW) (other RCWs that relate to occupational safety and health),
- is maintained by the Office of the Code Reviser (www.leg.wa.gov) (not by DOSH), and
- gives "teeth" to regulations by giving them the force of law.
WAC/WACs (pronounced "wack/wacks") stands for "Washington Administrative Code" and
- is the body of rules (the WAC) or individual rules (WACs) created to implement an RCW; and
- spells out, in Chapter 296, L&I's safety and health requirements for employers.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - An associate professor of medicine from the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville is working on a new trial to improve the health of African Americans through a faith-based program.
The trial started on January 6th. Dr. Sunita Dodani with the UF Center for Health Equity and Quality Research (CHEQR) is working with Central Metropolitan CME Church in Northwest Jacksonville. Members of the congregation are taking part in a 12-week study that began on January 6th. The goal is to try to reduce their blood pressure. So far, more than two dozen people are participating.
"Faith based basically means that the study is conducted in the church by the church people and for the church people," said Dr. Dodani.
The curriculum is called HEALS, which stands for Healthy Eating and Living Spiritually. Dodani said she used HEALS when she was the founding director of the Center for Outcome Research and Education at the University of Kansas. HEALS has been developed and modified from two successful National Institutes of Health studies, the Dietary Habits to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and PREMIER, which is similar to DASH, but has an exercise component as well.
Researchers have trained four church members to serve as trainers, and they'll be the ones putting on the weekly sessions every Sunday afternoon. Having the church members lead the sessions is key, Dodani said.
"These are people they know and trust; give them the control," said Dodani.
Blood pressure is checked at the beginning and the end of each session, Dodani said, and each participant will be weighed before and after each session as well.
Reverend Marquise Hardrick, pastor of Central CME Church, said the study is an excellent opportunity for his congregation to learn important information in a setting where they are comfortable.
"Within our community, the church has always been an extended family," said Hardrick, who is in his second year as pastor of the congregation with more than 400 people. "It's like someone bringing something of this nature to your house and your family members."
Hardrick said he hopes after the 12 weeks he'll see a more vibrant, healthy congregation with people who feel better and are more conscious of what they are putting in their bodies. Dodani specializes in programs researching the causes of cardiovascular disease in minorities, particularly in African Americans. Her focus uses programs based in the church to help people learn healthier lifestyle and lower their risk of serious diseases.
"The African American community, like any other community... believes in God," Dr. Dodani says. "And one of the scriptures that are in this program also is your body is a temple. Just like you take care of your soul, it's very important to take care of your body. So when they deliver these sessions, they bring these scriptures in front. And I think that is one of the reasons why the program is more successful; that this is our responsibility that God has given us."
High blood pressure is known as the silent killer because, if it is not noticed or addressed, it can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. One of the primary goals of the trial is to raise awareness about what blood pressure is and what it can do to a person's body if it's not controlled, Dodani said.
But by eating right and leading a healthier lifestyle, people can reduce their own blood pressure without always having to resort to medication, said Dodani, who teaches in the division of cardiology at the UF College of Medicine-Jacksonville.
Blood pressure is measured in two figures: systolic, the top reading, and diastolic, the bottom reading. Normal blood pressure is less than 120 over 80. High blood pressure is defined as anything more than 140 over 90. By the end of the 12 weeks, Dodani hopes that each participant has dropped their blood pressure by at least four points in the top reading and two points in the bottom reading. Even a slight drop can make a significant difference in a person's overall health, Dodani said.
Dodani conducted a similar study in Georgia that examined diabetes prevention programs at 20 predominantly African-American churches. A lifestyle program needs to be tailored to culturally acceptable foods and practices, Dodani said. And recognizing the importance of the church in African-American neighborhoods can be a key to fostering changes in lifestyle.
For more information on the program, contact Dodani at (904) 244-9859 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's National Pit Bull Awareness month and when we posted about it last week, a lot of people posted pictures of their adorable bullies, and I got all misty-eyed looking at all those sweet potato pups. I was also listening to Sarah Mclachlan's Angel on repeat like it was 1999, but that's probably not related.
Of course, then I had to cruise Petfinder, read every rescue story on Bad Rap, and lust after this gallery of pit bull puppy perfection. I've been alternating between laughing, crying, laugh crying, cry laughing, and all out hysteria. Puppies, WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THAT?
Of course, since this is the internet, I have to share a picture of my pit bull best friend, Hazel. I picked her up from the Oakland Animal Shelter almost exactly six years ago to foster for Rocket Dog Rescue, but I ended up falling in love, and decided we had to be together forever. She is my favorite fat-ass in residence, and I love this lazy lima bean like she came from my own birth canal. Yes, I'm writing from bed; is that so wrong, I ask you? Also, please don't judge me.
Now, show me your puppies! Or grown-ass dogs, or cats, or lizards — I don't dogscriminate. I'm gonna stop typing now.
