I had never noticed this until now. I read this thread, grabbed my DS, went to Marvelous Bridge and sure enough there she was.. and there she went..
It really made me think about the anime episode in Kanto with Sabrina and her Abra though..

I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
Maybe they'll expand on it in the Third version?

I killed her.
It's like the boats!
I discovered her when I was walking around to hatch some eggs, I didn't remember talking to her so I talked to her and she disappeared. I was freaked out, I thought my game was glitched.

Someone with an AR needs to use a walk-through Walls cheat and approach her from the front.
Mabye she has text only viewable from that direction, to confirm you as a cheater.
It's not a trick of the abra, otherwise she wouldn't still be a little girl
Also the developers joked about it when asked (the 72% chance thing) so it's pretty sure fire (or at worst a 38% chance at best!!!!) that she died while playing

SO I tested this out and sure enough I encountered a ghost girl. However, she was next to a NPC when she appeared and when she disappeared even HE made mention of how she "...just disappeared!"
Maybe there's more to this than we thought?
It's a fun little quirk, like the little girl and butler in the Old Chateu in gen 4!
I saw the ghost girl in my first Black playthrough, but have gone through Unova 3 times since and she hasn't appeared again. It seems a bit random...

If anything it'll have an anime episode based on it and that's that.

I bet Shauntal would know
It could just be one of her pokemon, it's her way of paying back you back for beating her at the pokemon league.
Or maybe it's her younger sister, kind of like 4th gen with Flint and Buck, just more peculiar and the fact that they don't outright say it.
OMG! i got it. well its a mystery to the abra/kadabra/alakazam family. you know how they are really trainers but became pokemon? this abra finally cracked the mystery to be human again. (my theory)
well umm ... well in the thing it says a little boy or girl was sleeping and became a pokemon... probably because it didnt like being human and sleeping probably made its psychic power stronger but well it's just a theory
That old lady and little girl are hiding something.Maybe psychic powers?Maybe the girl is just an Abra who's trainer is the old lady and they're trying to prank us?Maybe a mysterious force teleported the girl away?Maybe the girl was a ghost and jumps down the bridge to scare people(possibly old lady pushed her down when she was alive)?
The answer shall reveal itself.Eventually.Maybe in the anime
ah , what an unsightly existence ! / illustration : cyawa

Archive: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
November 29 – December 29, 2013
The Children's Theatre at Willow Lawn
Book, music and lyrics by Bruce Craig Miller
"'Twas the Night Before Christmas will bring delight and smiles to those 4 and up, and the modern references and positive message of joy, love and family values will make their parents and caregivers feel good about bringing them."
At turns heart warming and hilarious, this charming Christmas musical is complete with a jolly Santa, reindeer on the roof, moonlight on the snow, Ma and Pa in their caps, and sugarplums dancing in the dreams of hopeful children. Our careworn poet, Clement Moore is struggling to write a Christmas poem. Clement, uninspired until his eyes and heart are opened by the loving, joyous images all about him in his own home and family, begins writing his immortal poem with these words, "'Twas the night before Christmas." His poem is a delight to his family and to many generations of families who can't imagine Christmas without "A Visit from St. Nicholas."
Length: 55 minutes
Suggested for ages 4 and up.

That's too bad. I wish you had thrown it my direction. It's a Lavender bomb on me followed by a powdery vanilla drydown. It's one of my favorites.
So I read how much this is a classic and decided to buy it blind last week. I decided to throw it in the trash after three attempts at applicaton. Actually, it smells somewhat like Playdoh, IMO. I do like lavender, but there is a note in this one that doesn't agree with me. What was your experience with it?

Discount and drug store fragrance trollop. http://www.basenotes.net/group.php?groupid=74
Beautiful lavender on musk , vanilla and oakmoss ...the perfume of classical seduction , a really must-have
Thrown away? A shame. It would have sold on the buy/sell forum rather quickly.
I too got the Play-Doh association. After trying the two side by side (literally!) I found they were indeed different. I haven't had that problem since.
(\__/) This is Bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your
(='.'=) signature to help him gain world domination.
I've never got Play-Doh from it. At first I found the civet in the top notes challenging, but I had made the mistake of sampling it on the back of my hand rather than giving it a full wearing. Once I gave it a full wearing, I loved it.
Love it and wear it all the time from a large splash (vintage 60's) bottle. Wearing it today in fact. Clean, comforting, and classy as always. I don't think you can ever go wrong with it.
I wanna say something. Im gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it, if you dont, send it right back ."
Nope, I never got Play-Doh from this.
I too hated CPUH the first time I smelled it. It took years for me to come around and now I love it. It's the epitome of lavender, vanilla and civet. Well...after Jicky by Guerlain.
The initial blast of CPUH for me is kinda unpleasant. It has this "dirty" lavender smell of the plant that has just been yanked out of the ground with soil hanging from the roots. But the dry down is just enticing and appealingly nice and clean. The first sniff is you get this like powder particles tingling effect on your nose. In the dry down, this all goes away. It 's just a soft nice blend of lavender and vanilla and powder. Gorgeous!!
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
A shame you threw it away.....for something a little more refined with some similar notes....try A Taste Of Heaven By Kilian...sold @ most Saks Fifth Ave. stores....it exudes elegance and the smaller travel spray bottle is exquisite....
CARON POUR UN HOMME ( Eau de Toilette ) is a masterpiece.It is a must have in my wardrobe.On me, the drydown is a fantastic blend of lavender, amber and vanilla.I think that all the members of my family used to wear it, since my both grand-parents, my father, uncles, cousins, etc...It is also one of my favorites, as well as the Extrait de Parfum, L' IMPACT DE POUR UN HOMME
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
It's fantastic.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like my experience is atypical. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.
I don't like it. It's somewhat "one-dimensional" and harsh on me. Have you tried "A Taste of Heaven" from By Kilian (the only Kilian I might get in the future)?
To me it has a lavender opening VERY similar to JICKY edt (minus the civet of course), and then moves into a very soft and pleasurable vanilla, that I enjoy. Longevity is great too. I can see why 'ole LT would give this a 5 star rating.
I personally like it . I can see how others might find it annoying.
i think its got the nicest drydown of all my 200+ colognes. just got this, and i too found it disgusting at first. washed it off and chalked it up to experience. then i read someones review, and decided to try to get through the initial yucky beginning. holy crap the vanilla drydown is fantastic!!!! and its not girlie at all, its a very masculine, worth waiting for scent. that lasts all day long. gorgeous vanilla. you just have to get through the opening. now, i love the openning notes, although i get a lot of lime wich no one has mentioned. very, very nice. my first vanilla.
Pour un Homme has civet? I had no idea. I don't get the playdoh associations either, though granted I have only had my bottle for a couple weeks or so. I really like the fragrance, I could see myself wearing this one anytime and anywhere.
I absolutely love it
Love it!
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
This is something I have been meaning to blind buy.
If one likes the top notes of CpuH but doesnt care for the "Play Doh" base (which i love) d'Orsay's Arome 3 may be a good alternative.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
In my opinion, it does not smell too old-fashioned at all, to my nose, I sense certain notes which are very sensual, almost gourmand, at the same time earthy and non-nonsense
Interesting and quite unlikely combination
One of my all time favorites. I don't get the Play-Doh analogy at all, but it has been a long, long time since I last smelled Play-Doh.
Here in BaseNotes many like it, me included, and for many of the reasons stated. Away form this reason, being a classic is part of its allure, a good thing in Base Notes. Now, you might as well find it horridly bad due to whatever reason (you found Play Doh notes, I do get somehow similar notes to those of a dirty ashtray).
Just don't feel pressed at all the comments contradicting your point of view, you are entitled to judge it they way you feel. I only regret you throwing it away, I wish it were to my direction...
I'm neutral. It's too sweet. When i wear it, i don't feel it's smell myself, but others say it's very good!!
Also when i wear it, i feel a bitter taste in my mouth and i don't know the reason! If i sniff it on my hand very close(for example 1 or 2 cm) i feel it moves under my nose; It moves with a bitter taste, without a clear smell...(That bitter taste i think is for Vanilla) And as i heard it's property of Aldehyde fragrances, i'm not sure, i guess Aldehyde is into it. that it gives PUH De Caron negative score.
I like lavender scent but I was pretty disappointed with CPUH.
Civet? playdough?
I don't get any of these from the juice. To me, there's 3 clear-cut layers consisted of lavender-vanilla-amber.
CPUH opens with a blast of raw lavender, yes! Though it's lovely, I find it still not quite enough to make me feel sated when I crave for a lavender boost. Maybe the lavender blast fades quicker than to my liking. I prefer the lavender in Gris Clair, which also smells like raw materials to me. But anyways, both CPUH and Gris Clair remind me of after-save cologne as it's supposed to be, so I'm not very impressed.
The drydown smells mostly amber on my skin (with an appearance of vanilla fleets in between the topnote and the basenote stage). But the big reason why I don't like CPUH that much is, I've realized I don't like amber! The note smells a lot like the kind of medicinal oil us Southeast Asian used religiously when we have an headache or feel sick). So this explains enough. CPUH is not bad, but really, not so classic. (Oh it's pleasant though!)
P.S: Yesterday I wore 10 sprays of CPUH and my friend asked me if I was sick (pshhhh!!!). When I told her it was because of the fragrance I was wearing, God, I thought she was about to laugh her head off! huhu...

How does sunshine smell like?
I like it, but only in winter...during summertime in combination with warm weather it just smells "strange"
but I understand why so many people don't like it - in my opinion the problem is in the combination of raw and "oldschool" lavender with gourmand vanilla, those two elements are the most prominent in this juice and together they often make people "sick"

It's beautiful; I'm wearing it right now. It opens, I think, in a way quite shockingly unlike anything that I've come across. I liked it at once and have since come to love it & crave it - but it is something of a challenge at first. I very often go to bed with a book, my bifocals and a fresh coat of Pour un Homme.

Olay Fresh Effects S'wipe Out! Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths are one of six new product releases in the Olay Fresh Effects Skincare Collection that recently launched for Spring 2013.
I was telling you in a prior post that I feel like Olay is definitely trying to reach out to a younger demographic with their new Fresh Effects Collection. The packaging definitely has a "fun" fresher feel, the price point is cheaper, and the products they released with this launch should garner the interest of younger beauty lovers.
I'm all youth at heart so I def saw some appeal in this collection particularly because it isn't as sterile and medical looking like Olay's typical skincare packaging ya know?
Now as far as makeup remover wipes, lord knows, I don't need to try ANOTHER brand of wipes. But I'm a blogger and I make a ton of use out of wipes as I need them to swipe off swatches and the likes. Plus they are great for easy clean up. And my mentality about new beauty is "Yes, yes, must try the precious!" so I was pretty excited to take on the Olay Fresh Effects Make Up Removal Cloths.
Here's some thoughts!

New 250GB PlayStation 3 System Available November 3, 2009
Sony has announced that a new PS3 Slim will be available on November 3rd. It will have a 250GB hardrive and will cost you $349.99.
To quote Sony's PlayStation 3 Marketing Manager Kim Nguyen:
Since we launched the slimmer, lighter 120GB PS3 system, we've sold one million units worldwide within the first three weeks. We know that all of you are really making use of the PS3's hard drive, as more than 600 million pieces of content have been downloaded from PlayStation Network. But if you are the ultimate digital consumer craving a bigger hard drive, we have the perfect solution for you.
Today, we announced the availability of a new PS3 system with a 250GB hard drive hitting store shelves on November 3. The PS3 250GB system has the same slim look, feel and features as the 120GB system, but with a 250GB built-in hard drive for $349.99. With the new, larger capacity, you'll have even more room to store your favorite games, movies/TV shows, music, photos and PlayStation Network downloads.
More PlayStation 3 News...

Sony is getting it done.
Wow thats really awesome. I havent heard anything about that until I read this post. I now wish I waited till November before buying my 120GB unit.
Dont you think they should have waited before reducing the prices? They should have just introduced this model before all that happened. I might be wrong though. Looks like Sony is stepping it up.

Another one?
I don't like the new ps3 slims at all. The only thing that appeals to me is the larger hard drive but even that I don't really need. My old school 80gig does everything I could want. YDL is taking up 30gig, I have 4 downloaded games, almost 20 disc based, most of which with installed data, countless VMC's and nearly my entire 114 cd collection ripped perfect quality to the HDD and still I have about 18gigs free. All that money for just more memory, albeit a lot more memory just doesn't seem like a good idea. Well, for me anyway.
10-19-2009 #5adrianc1982 Guest
On the other hand the extra space is cool because with all the data we keep pushing into our ps3s like installations, downloadable content, and whatnot someday we will need to start erasing stuff. There will be games with 5GB + installations, like resident evil 5 and when that day comes you will be looking at larger HDs.

my mother is gonna give one for my birthday!!
10-19-2009 #8adrianc1982 Guest
Also the ps3 keeps getting better and better with each update, we get frequent surprises, you will not be disappointed I swear
10-19-2009 #94f1nger Guest
I don't know was there any point to release new playstations with bigger size of hard drives, personally i could buy a bigger size of hard disk than 120gb and stick it in, oh and also interesting thing, the hard drive what my ps3 has in is - TOSHIBA.
i've noticed the ps3 big one, and slim, by the size they doesnt makes any big difference, only slim is bit thiner and worse desing for me. but the heavy one i heard it has bad vent system, realy loud, and using more power than slim.

Ridgefield social services director honored
Published 1:00 am, Monday, January 16, 2006
Baldwin will receive the award at the annual the Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr.
commemorative celebration from 3 to 4 p.m. in the lower level meeting room of Ridgefield Town Hall.
Baldwin was chosen for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to community service and selflessness in the traditions of King.
"She has been cited as an extraordinary individual who has gone beyond the defined duties of her job to personally ensure that Ridgefield cares about and cares for its neighbors when they need a helping hand," said Mark Robinson , ceremony organizer.
First selectman Rudy Marconi will present the award to Baldwin along with Robinson.
"I am very happy to see Mrs. Baldwin as the recipient of the MLK award. This year's theme is charity and she personifies that quality," Marconi said. "I can personally say that I have worked with Mary Ann for six years and her personal care and consideration for those in need is unparalleled."
Baldwin came to her position as director of social service in May 1999. Prior to that she had served as a community volunteer for 20 years. Serving on PTAs as her children grew up, she went on to serve on the Board of Education from 1980 to 1990. She was chairman of that board for five years.
Sandra Rose , chairman of the education board, worked with Baldwin in the 1980s. Rose was president of the Joint Council of PTAs at the time.
"Mary Ann is very giving," Rose said. "She really wanted to help wherever she could. She was a pleasure to work with and I consider her a friend to this day. She's very deserving to receive this award."
Also working with Baldwin at that time was selectman Joan Plock . Plock was also on the Board of Education, moving to the seat of chairman when Baldwin vacated it.
"Mary Ann is the most dedicated member of Ridgefield's residents," Plock said. "For two years I worked under her while she was chairman of the board. She was wonderful and got us through some rough times. Then she went to her present position and has done an outstanding job there."
Baldwin also volunteered with the Boy Scouts as her two sons grew up, was active in the League of Women Voters and served on the Nursery School Board at St. Stephen's Church for a number of years.
From the Friendly Shoppers Program to the Senior Positive Initiative, Baldwin has reached out again and again to make Ridgefield seniors that much better. And these are just two of numerous programs she has fostered over the years as director of social services.
"I'll take credit for being a bit creative but without the people willing to do things and take part in things, it all wouldn't happen," Baldwin said. "They're what make it exciting."
Baldwin was moved to be named as the recipient of the MLK award.
"I don't think the committee who chose me could know how much this would mean to me," she said.
Baldwin was in college in the early and mid-1960s, where her eyes were opened to the inequality and problems facing the nation.
"I think that what Dr. King did and said changed the fabric of our nation by developing a sense of community spirit in a generation - my generation," she said. "I can say that Dr. King was the single most influential person in my life. I was moved by his extraordinary intellect, incredible courage and eloquent words. For me to be honored with an award that honors Dr. King is especially moving. I'm deeply honored."

This activity requires no preparation.
The students must ask each other questions until they find three things that they have in common. They must be things that are not obvious. For example, they can't say 'we both have black hair'.
It is easy to model the activity interviewing a student until you find three things that they have in common with you.

Upgrade to Windows 10?
Microsoft has cleverly delivered pop-up invitations for free upgrades to Windows 10. Should you take advantage and become an early adopter? In my usual pragmatic manner, I advise against it unless you want to unwittingly become an early debugger too.
Let the big firms with in-house tech support go through the pain first. They can afford to smooth all the wrinkles and support users through the bumpy ride. Wait until at least the first service pack comes out. And following that, the software gets "good reports" regarding the results of the service pack installation. Then and only then should you install.
My colleague, Jennifer Ellis, is much more analytical in her approach. In her blog post "Should You Upgrade to Windows 10?" she spells out the specific considerations to take into account for each end-user and firm. Give it a read, to help you decide.
As always, I will post to the blog when I think the time has arrived to safely install Windows 10 for the majority of users who read my blog. If you go back into my historical archives of past blog posts, you'll see that I never recommended installation of Windows Vista. As time passed it became apparent that it was never going to be a decent operating system. I suggested keeping XP going until the next generation (Windows 7) was released, and upgraded at least once. It turned out to be the right move. I also recommended the same with Windows 8. So stay tuned. I won't steer you wrong.

Labyrinth at Saint Mary's
The labyrinth at Saint Mary's is located in a tranquil garden setting surrounded by flowers and trees. This sacred, meditative space is accessible to the Saint Mary's College community and the people of South Bend.
A labyrinth is a complex and circuitous walk, a winding pathway that serves as an aid to meditation.
Labyrinth patterns are universal. They are found in ancient cultures in basket weave designs, paintings and drawings all over the world. In the Middle Ages, labyrinths were made with colored paving stones in the floors of cathedral naves. People walked the labyrinth as a symbolic pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
To walk a labyrinth can be a journey, which leads to sensing the mystery of God at the very center of one's being. Walking the pattern of the labyrinth seems to help people get into a meditative state very quickly — to find one's center.
Walking a labyrinth can model the three-fold spiritual path:
The labyrinth is an ancient tool. Not only can we walk it in faith with others around the world today, but we are also accompanied in our desire for transformation and holiness by those who have gone before us. While walking the labyrinth may be a private or a personal experience, it is also a global venture and a walk across time.

Last week, we introduced Hayden to ranch dressing. On pizza. (This is Ryan's idea of food.)
He was a bit suspicious at first. He eyed his little bite of pizza with white stuff on it, but wouldn't touch it. I tried to feed it to him. He gingerly licked the ranch dressing. After two or three tastes, he decided he liked it, and ate the bite of pizza.
Apparently he liked it quite a bit. He toddled off and fetched my cell phone, brought it back, and dipped it in the ranch dressing. That was fun to clean up. I must have shorted my old battery in the process. Good thing I've had a new one sitting around for a while now.
To complete the story, Hayden's cell phone (Ryan's old phone) has been missing for a few days. Neither Ryan nor I had any idea where it was or even how long it had been missing.
Today Haydie was eating some graham cracker sticks today and dumped the box on the floor. What should come tumbling out but his phone!
Gotta love those little reminders.

The political calculations of how Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade would secure a second term with ease in currently on the front burner of consideration for key political allies of the governor.
Those in the know of the series of meetings that have been ongoing reveal that the governor is personally involve and he is on the driving seat of the options that are laid before him.
Our source disclosed that the first step is to make real the long touted speculations that Governor Ayade is moving to the All Progressive Congress APC away from the People Democratic Party (PDP) that elected him into office.
"Governor Ayade is under pressure to move anytime soon because he needs to do it early enough but there are concerns. One of the concern is how the movement to APC will guarantee his second term ticket when he faces the APC party primary election as well as the eventual general election. This is where the option to get Senator Prince Bassey Otu as a possible running mate came up"
"It is believed that Prince Otu's popularity and political clout can propel Ayade into victory with a pledge to support Otu to emerge the successor after Ayade's second term when it is expected the southern part of the state where Otu hails from should get the governorship slot in 2023." Our source disclosed.
Besides crossing over to APC and getting the commitment of Senator Prince Otu who is already in APC, another issue of concern is what happens to Governor Ayade's relationship with former Governor Liyel Imoke who is often credited as one who made it possible for Ayade to emerge as the PDP flag bearer in 2015 even though at a prize which Ayade was able to pay.
Our source disclosed that this is not the best of times in the relationship between Governor Ayade and his predecessor, Liyel Imoke. In fact the relationship is now soured because of conflicts of trust.
Evidence of the state of the relationship between the duos came to the fore recently when Governor Ayade suddenly cancelled his earlier planned trip to Imoke's country home at Etighidi village, Abi local government on January first this year when the political family of Imoke always celebrate their new year with him.
"It's been like the tradition in the last six years or more that Imoke's political family in the state, meets and celebrate the new year with him but this year the governor called it off at the last minute. He seems more determined now to take over Imoke's political structure and challenge the perceived plot orchestrated by Senator John Owan-Enoh against him (Ayade). Imoke is believed to be the man behind Senator Owan-Enoh who is believed to have a 2019 governorship ambition and ploting the hold on to the dying PDP structure in the state."
"Besides, the PDP at the national level even with the crisis ridden state, back-stabbed Governor Ayade in his trying days of trial at the Supreme Court but after his victory at the Supreme Court, the contention has been the PDP structure in the state which is mostly loyalists of former governor Imoke. And Imoke is backing Owan-Enoh who thinks he can out stage Ayade within the PDP. So from a broader spectrum, the Ayade's camp has seen that PDP is a dying party with many bigwigs of PDP leaving for APC within and outside the state, so he has to move on time and consolidate before late."
The other aspect of concern is how to handle the legislature when Ayade eventually moves to APC. The legislators in the state Assembly are believed to be Imoke's loyalists.
The Speaker of the state Assembly, Hon. John Gaul-Lebo is hundred percent loyal to Imoke, he is believed to be pretender on Ayade as such his last decision may be Imoke's interest so the Ayade's camp would not mind doing away with at the niche of time. The deputy Speaker of the assembly, Hon. Joseph Bassey is also known to be Imoke's loyalist but he has been able to factor himself politically to earn confidence across political divide. For instance, Imoke believes he can count on him the same way Senator Prince Otu believes he can count of him. Over time he has taken political decisions that have not hurt the interest of his political leaders and elders like Imoke, Prince Otu, Hon. Essien Ayi and Senator Gashom Bassey. For such reasons the Ayade's camp believe he is not a problem to their interest.
Political pundits believe what is saliently working for Ayade is his option to run a bogus administration with large numbers of political appointees. With steady monthly payments of salaries most of the political appointees now enjoy a sense of belonging and honour in their locality where some were seen as a nobody.
So the large number of political appointees is fast becoming a political strategy working for Ayade. Last Christmas festival, the governor reportedly bought bags of rice and gave political appointees with cash to be able to host their immediate communities. That empowerment will be a routine practice even as the time will come for 2017 and 2018 Christmas festivities.
Even though the carnival Calabar has been built over the years without political colouration, Governor Ayade has embraced is wholeheartedly and his political camp tried out something during the 2016 Carnival when the governor's Band joined the non-competing bands for the second year and had man who rode on a well decorated horse that had the inscription "Ayade 2019". Some other groups during the green carnival which is one of Governor Ayade's additions to the Carnival Calabar carried a banner with the inscription of "Ayade 2019, No Vacancy".
All these points to the fact that the 2019 political calculations have been flagged off in the state and if the Ayade's camp are able to get it right as there are seemingly working, the second term in office would be seamless with little or toothless opposition within the state.
The governor's earlier worries was his towns man and uncle, Prince Goddy Jedy Agba who also has good political followers and the financial war chest to re-launch his unfulfilled governorship ambition but recent development coming from home has ignited confidence that the northern part where the governor hails from would likely come together in his support for 2019 and all he need is to secure the support of Prince Bassey Otu who is capable of galvanizing the south in his favour when he joins the APC. Recently the father of Prince Goddy Agba, openly blessed the governor and solicited for his support even in 2019. Agba the father is the Paramount ruler of Obudu local government area and reputed as being the longest serving monarch in the country with over fifty years on the throne.
Indications are that the governor's calculations are gradually paying off but angle of securing the commitment of Prince Otu is yet to be sealed.
When contacted, the media adviser to the governor and Chief Press Secretary Christian Ita refuted claims that his boss was paying attention to 2019 politics. According to him, governor Ayade is working to deliver on his promises to the people of the state and will continue to work for further developments in the state.
"The governor is not concern about 2019 politics but delivering the goods to the people and in fact what you are going to be seeing is increased tempo of developments such as road constructions, industrialization and economic activities that would create jobs for our youths," Ita said.
However much the governor's aide may deny it, the fact remains that the state of affairs in the PDP cannot guarantee Governor Ayade a second term that is if the PDP would still survive till 2019.
As soon as the governor joins the APC he will work to earn their trust and confidence in order to secure a second term ticket from the APC.

Sensual Ambience[CD]
~ Munich Syndrome
Product Notes
The nine track album, 'Sensual Ambience' inclues the full 18 minute edit of the title track, Sensual Ambience (Paris Movie), and clocks in at over fifty-five minutes of atmospheric and chill electronica. This limited edition CD also includes the four-track 'Electro EP' offering a small taste of the full-length 'Electro' album, scheduled for release this fall. (Some mixes and tracks are exclusive to 'Sensual Ambience' Limited Edition CD) Down-tempo beats and seductive dub-like bass lines underscore languid keyboard washes, jazz inflected pianos, sax and atmospheric electronica. Chill-out moods, cinematic soundscapes and warm melodies make up the essence of 'Sensual Ambience'. Inventive arrangements and unique combinations of sounds create a complex but accessible journey in sound. 'Sensual Ambience' opens and closes with 'Fragment (of a dream)', instrumental bookends that go from mysterious trip-hop to a more full-blooded electronica. Between those two points are the atmospheric and introspective 'Quiet Atmosphere' and 'Cathedral Interlude', the darkly sensual 'Lost In You' and 'Sensual Ambience (Paris Movie)' with the jazz influenced 'A Night In Paris', 'To Whom It May Concern' and the Enigma-esque 'Endless Possibilities'. Included with the first pressings are four bonus tracks, the 'Electro EP'. 'Regret' is the next step from 'Fragment' and sets the stage for the less atmospheric and harder electro-pop that comprise the 'EP'. 'Murderous' inhabits a more aggressive sound mixing a modern-day Kraftwerk sound with William Orbit type electronics in a club-friendly mix. 'Come Out and Play' is a Daft Punk-esque dance track utilizing a vocoded narrative. Closing out with 'Modern Age', a tightly sequenced bassline and a dark mood and a bilistering guitar solo climaxing to an explosive finish. Munich Syndrome is an Electronic Pop band that exploring various musical styles from Down Tempo, Trip Hop, Jazz and Ambient to Synth-Pop, Dance and Electro.- Sensual Ambience is mastered in HDCD® for increased audio fidelity. HDCD®'s will play on all regular CD players.

It's been acknowledged by the creators of The Simpsons that the blood-thirsty antics of Itchy and Scratchy were inspired less by Tom & Jerry and more by the violent situations of Herman and Katnip. By the 1950s, the writers at Paramount's Famous Studios were suffering from cartoon fatigue — endlessly rewriting and redrawing the same tired stories for Popeye, Casper, Baby Huey et al. for years on end. The Herman and Katnip pictures were pure cat-chasing-mice opuses, which were by now running on auto-pilot, and got progressively more and more violent as the years went by.
The cartoons have what I call "Shemp syndrome" – it's the same problem the Three Stooges shorts of the 50s had – they forgot what was funny about slapstick in the first place. The filmmakers just knew that "hurt gags" worked, so they upped the "hurt", figuring it'll be funnier. The results were less funny and more painful, and often in horrible taste.
Embedded below is the last 90 seconds from Mouseum (1956) which features my all-time favorite bad-taste ending. I love it. It makes me laugh because of how wrong it is. By this time, the animators had really lost all perspective. Here's the set-up: Katnip is chasing Herman and his cousins through a natural history museum.

Divorce ruling may lead to impeachment
by UPI
ST. LOUIS - A Missouri judge may be impeached for a ruling she made in a divorce case that some have labeled as unfair and biased, it was reported Sunday.The Kansas City Star reported that Associate Circuit Court Judge Christine Hutson may soon face impeachment, a rare action against a Missouri judge, for her allegedly one-sided divorce ruling.
The incident began when Claire Noland lost custody of her three youngest children to her husband in their divorce case. Noland later declared bankruptcy and still is unable to see her children on a regular basis.House Counsel Don Lograsso said the investigation into Noland's case would take some time to ensure that any impeachment proceedings would be justified.For her part, Noland wants to see action taken to prevent similar incidents in the future."I don't care who you are, people should be held accountable," the distressed mother told the Star. "We have a system of checks and balances. Maybe other judges would be more careful in the future."

Hannaford to add encryption, bolster systems in wake of breach
Ron Hodge, the grocer's president and CEO, said the company would spend millions to align the company's security processes with the ISO 27001 security standard.
Hannaford Bros. Co. said this week that it intends to deploy a broad range of security technologies, including...

new intrusion-prevention systems and encryption to protect credit card data during a transaction.
The Scarborough, Maine-based company said it plans to bolster its systems in the wake of a data breach in which 4.2 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen from its systems. The intrusion took place between Dec. 7 and March 10.
Ron Hodge, the grocer's president and CEO, and Bill Homa, its CIO said the company's systems were compliant with the PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) but the standards offer little coverage over consumer data in motion during credit card transactions processed at nearly 300 stores.
Homa said the company signed a managed security services deal with IBM to conduct 24-hour network monitoring. The goal, Homa said, is align the company's security processes with the ISO 27001 security standard.
In addition, the company is working with General Dynamics, Cisco Systems and Microsoft to upgrade and replace affected systems. New PIN pads with encryption capabilities will also be installed. In all, Hodge said the company would spend millions of dollars in the upgrade program.
Investigators are still trying to figure out how attackers placed malware on the Hannaford servers to silently sniff the data while it was in motion.
Experts say the breach serves an important lesson that it's just as important to limit the network access of employees and regularly monitor system activity as it is to purchase security technology to block attacks from the outside. The messaging system connecting Hannaford's complex systems could have provided the hole necessary to install malware onto the grocer's systems.

Newt Gingrich used social media to announce his candidacy to appeal to the "youth".
However, he confused the medium with the message.
Social media by itself does not make anything youthful. It's just a communication medium that can appeal to any demographic. In fact, 53% of Twitter users and 37% of Facebook users are 35 and over.
It's how you use the medium and the content you pump into it that matters.
Newt will need to change his content, messaging, and persona to address the pain points of the youth. The channel in which he delivers the message does not matter.

"There was a time when starting a woodworking business
seemed almost impossible."
Woodworker to woodworker, there was one thing that had me on the side of thinking that starting my own woodworking business was never going to happen.
But here's the strange part, looking back it wasn't what I "thought" it was, it was actually something else.
And once I figured it out, everything changed. The unattainable became a reality, and in such a way that it changed my life for the better, forever.
Rewind to 2001.
I was IT professional and I had been working in the field 25 years. Woodworking up until that point was a serious hobby and passion.
I was working for a consulting company as a senior IT Project Manger, managing multi-million dollar technology infrastructure projects for, at the time, one of the world's largest pharma companies.
One sunny afternoon I receive a phone call from my boss, the vice president of the consulting company, and he tells me in one breath that…
"You're one of the best Project managers we have, and we need your help bringing project management practices into the company because frankly we haven't done a great job of managing how the business is run and everyone, including you, is getting a 15% cut in pay."
I was dumbfounded. Shocked to say the least.
Here this guy was telling me I am one of the best on his staff and it wants me to do more work…
And at the same time he's telling me I'm getting a $15,750 pay cut.
Needless to say, I was really pissed off. And it wasn't long after that that I vowed to never again let anyone take money away from me and my family.
This is when I realized I wanted to take control of my destiny, control my income and earning potential, and become my own boss running my own woodworking business.
You don't know what you don't know
So, back to the one thing.
Like me you've been around and you've heard the saying: "You don't know what you don't know."
We'll in regard to starting a woodworking business that covered a pretty big territory.
Woodworking is the easy part of the equation, starting and running a business you need (or want) to rely on for a steady income is something else.
So, a dear friend of mine got wind of what I was doing and rang me up to tell me he too had been looking into starting a business (not with woodworking).
And one of the best things he had done was put together a business plan. He said it really helped him get a clear picture of how to consistently make an income he could live on.
And because I wanted to do the same thing, replace my full-time IT income with the income from my woodworking business, I took his advice and began developing a business plan.
And, it was awesome!
I was so pumped. I worked like a madman on it every free moment I had.
Right up to the point where I needed to develop a strategy to market and sell my products.
And then tables turned. I hit a huge wall. I had a nauseous pit in the bottom of my stomach and all I was thinking was that…
My business is dead in the water before it even gets started
I just didn't know what to do.
You see, I'm not a sales person.
You'll never find me to going door-to-door trying to sell my products. Or cold-calling people over the phone. It's just not who I am.
And I knew that putting an ad in the local newspaper wasn't going to allow me to reach my first year revenue goal. Which was pretty big.
So, I was lost… and I thinking it was all over.
I was just about at the point of starting to look for another IT job when Jim, my friend who suggested the business plan, decided to check-in and see how I was doing.
And that's when it happened. My life defining moment.
That's when everything aligned and I made the transition from a hobbyist to a businessperson.
Here's what Jim told me.
He said "Look, no one who has ever been successful at anything… sports, music, business, whatever… has done so all on their own without some sort of guidance or help."
"Every successful business owner, has had a mentor at one time or another to guide them to success. To help them skip over the hard part, get past the challenges and make their dream come true."
Skip over the hard part and get your business started
I completely got it.
I thought developing a strategy to market and sell my products was the "one thing" that was missing… the thing that was holding me back from achieving my dream.
But, what it really was… is understanding that learning to be successful in business is no different than learning how to be good at woodworking.
You need guidance. A teacher. A mentor.
You need to connect with someone that's done it successfully so you can understand how to do it the right way the first time, skip over the hard part and achieve your goal of owning your own woodworking business.
It's that plain and simple.
The unknown is a dream killer
What really kills people's dreams, every time, is fear of the unknown.
For me it was not knowing how to market and sell. For you it may be something different.
The point is, understand you don't have to go it alone.
As a matter of fact, trying to do it without anyone's help is a truly a plan for disaster.
It's been a lot of years since 2001, and today my business success is tightly bound to the guidance I've received time and time again from others who have gone down the path before me.
It's been a life changer. It's the secret to my success.
So, get the guidance you need, and get it right away.
I don't care if you do it through the Woodworking Business Startup Intensive or a couple of Woodworking Business Startup Strategy Sessions or you hire a business coach.
Just find someone that resonates with you.
Find someone that when they speak to you, you instantly think:
"I really like what this guy is saying and I want to be a part of it."
And when you find that person, take immediate advantage of it and invest in that relationship.
Every time I have invested in mentoring, I've made huge progress in my business and I've seen a huge leap in my income.
When I started my woodworking business, because I worked with a marketing mentor, I went from zero revenue the day the doors opened, to turning a profit in 5 months. And, I've never looked back.
So working with someone who understands what your trying to do, and has done it themselves, is something that every woodworker should do.
It's your way to take the seemingly impossible and make it possible.
It's really the only way to start a real woodworking "business" you can rely on for a steady income month after month and year after year.
I wish you great success.
All the Best,
Ed McDonough

Wallpaper size: 1920×1080
Divergent is the last in the line of movies based on a young adult books. Directed by Neil Burger Divergent will premiere in March next year.
The movie is set in a world, well Chicago in the future, where people are divided in five factions according to their behavior, Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave) and Erudite (the intelligent). But what happens when you don't belong to any of the groups? I haven't read the books but from the trailer you can see that it can't be nothing good. 🙂
The main role of Tris Prior is played by Shailene Woodley while Ashley Judd plays her mother Natalie Prior. Theo James who we know from Underworld: Awakening plays Four and Kate Winslet plays the character Jeanine Matthews.
Do you think Divergent can achieve the success of The Hunger Games? Or will it be another flop in the series of the more and more popular trend to adapt young adult books into movies?
In short:
[schema type="movie" url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1840309/" name="Divergent (2014)" director="Neil Burger" actor_1="Shailene Woodley" actor_2="Theo James" actor_3="Kate Winslet" actor_4="Ashley Judd"]

Mangoola mine fined over blasting
A Hunter Valley mine has been fined after a blast exceeded the maximum ground vibration limit.
The New South Wales Department of Planning and Infrastructure says the Mangoola Mine, north of Denman, carried out a blast on November 4.
It recorded a ground vibration reading of 124 millimetres per second at the closest power line pylon.
Mangoola, which is owned by Xstrata Coal, has an agreement with Trans-Grid not to exceed 100 millimetres per second, to prevent damaging power line foundations.
The mine has been fined $3,000.
A spokesman for Xstrata says the company has paid the fee and is reviewing Mangoola's blast management practices.

Low T Center Opens 12th DFW Location In Colleyville Today!
Sep 03, 2013, 11:04 ET from Low T Center
DALLAS and FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Expansion continues as Low T Center opens its 12th DFW area location today in Colleyville. The center is located at 5209 Heritage Ave, Suite 510 Colleyville, TX 76034. Dr. Bill Reilly, M.D. is the Medical Director of the center. The hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

There are three numbers every man should know: cholesterol, prostate, and testosterone levels. A normal testosterone level is between 350 & 1000. Do you know your numbers? It is estimated that 13 million men in the U.S. over the age of 40 have low testosterone levels. Low T Centers offer solutions for these men who may experience symptoms that can include: Fatigue, decreased energy and strength, low motivation, weight gain and even diminished sex drive. Low T Center is set up so men can walk in, take a simple blood test, and know within 30 minutes if they are a candidate for Testosterone Replacement Therapy, or TRT. With well over 25,000 visits seen monthly in nine states, experience shows that testosterone injections may lead to improved energy, strength, and libido, as well as decreases in body fat, irritability, and depression. Research also links testosterone replacement to improvements in health issues including Alzheimer's and heart disease. However, low testosterone is not something that should be self-diagnosed or treated by mail or the internet. Complications and side effects can include high blood pressure, increased PSA levels, edema, and other serious issues. That is why at Low T Center each patient's care is carefully managed by physicians. A full list of potential complications and side effects can be found at www.lowtcenter.com/faq.
Low T Center- A National Solution
Founded in 2009, Low T Center has quickly evolved into a pioneering and innovative medical practice model. The physicians at Low T Centers exclusively diagnose and treat men with low testosterone. As demand for information about testosterone therapy grows, Low T Center has established itself as a leader in treatment and public awareness. According to Dr. Bill Reilly, M.D. Chief Medical Director of the Low T Center, "Low T Center seeks to improve the quality of mens' lives in a way that makes a real difference, by diagnosing and effectively treating low testosterone."
There are 33 Low T Centers nationally operating in nine states. Cities include: Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Colorado Springs, Denver, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Nashville, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Chicago.

HanleyesSouth Milwaukee, WIAge: 18-24Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Unique Layout with Good InformationOctober 17, 2011HanleyesSouth Milwaukee, WIAge: 18-24Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This study bible has the most unique layout I've seen yet. I thought the layout of notes in between the text would be distracting, but it does work well. You can lose your place at times jumping up and down from study notes to biblical text and this solves that. Basically if you read straight through you get a portion of scripture, then explanation, then scripture, then explanation. It is easy to figure out what's text and what are notes too which is a worry I did have. The content is pretty good and balanced. It's not as in-depth as other study bibles in the NRSV (for in-depth you'd want an Oxford Annotated, HarperCollins or New Interpreter's), however it does have a good amount of info, just enough to get some good insights. The helps in the back and the maps are great.
When it comes to the quality of the book itself, this paperback edition is a lot heavier than you'd expect. That to me says durability. It is a VERY durable Bible for a softcover. One problem is that the names of ISAIAH and REVELATION were accidentally printed by the inner spine/binding rather than the outside corners. This doesn't affect the reading of the Bible, but for a perfectionist (like me at times) it can be an annoyance. Other than that the Bible is a great edition with good content that I would recommend!

The Denali Alaska gas pipeline group owned by BP and ConocoPhillips have submitted an application for a right-of-way across federal lands in Alaska, a company spokesman said Nov. 13. About one-third of the 730 miles of the pipeline route in Alaska are on federal lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
The Denali project would build a large-diameter pipeline from the Alaska North Slope approximately 2,000 miles to a location near the British Columbia-Alberta border, where it could connect with existing pipelines, the company has said in briefings. A possible 1,500-mile further extension of the pipeline from Alberta to the U.S. Midwest is still under study, MacDowell said.
Meanwhile, Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. is working on a rival proposal to build a pipeline along a similar route from northern Alaska to Alberta. TransCanada also plans an open season in 2010, said Tony Palmer, the company's vice president for Alaska gas development.

Construction worker Paul Koon, drinking beer in his car and watching people pass at the National Hills shopping center in Augusta, set his sights on the young woman just walking out of a store.
Carrying a pocket knife, the Warrenville man approached the shopper and ordered her into his car and onto the floorboard. He drove to a isolated area of woods in Aiken County, where he told the Martinez mother to get out of the car. She tried to run but Mr. Koon caught her and strangled her.
The year was 1980.
A year later, an Aiken County jury decided the man, who was diagnosed with having a schizophrenic personality and abnormal sexual fantasies, deserved to die for the kidnapping and slaying of Valerie White Newsome.
But the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned the conviction, based on improper closing arguments made by then-Solicitor Robert Harte.
A second jury heard the details of the crime and sent Mr. Koon back to death row in 1983.
When the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned that death sentence in 1987 because the killer's good behavior in prison had not been considered at trial, Aiken County Coroner Sue Townsend gave up on the death penalty process.
The coroner said she wondered whether relatives of murder victims weren't better off without the drawn-out appeals and sometimes endless retrials afforded a death row inmate. She said family members might experience closure quicker if the criminal were given a life sentence without a chance at parole. She said it could save victims the potential pain of attending a new trial or waiting years for the actual execution.
"The mental anguish is just terrible for the families," Mrs. Townsend said. "I was for the death penalty when I first got into law enforcement. In fact, I had been quite an advocate of that. But after being involved in (the Koon) death penalty case that basically consumed decades of life and seeing what it does to the victims' families ... I'm not for it anymore."
While some family members agree the appeals process can be frustrating, most say they will do what is necessary to see a death sentence carried out.
Relatives of murder victims involved in cases where the criminal got a life sentence insist they are no better off. They also suffer through countless appeals and sometimes harbor resentment that the person responsible is not paying through execution.
Jack McClure Jr. - one of those willing to wait - might have his patience tested, because the state Supreme Court overturned in September the death sentence of his nephew, who was responsible for slaughtering Mr. McClure's brother and his brother's girlfriend in Barnwell in 1996.
The high court said the trial judge improperly allowed 2nd Circuit Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan to question the remorse of defendant David McClure Jr. when she suggested no one had testified that the defendant was sorry.
IN THEIR DECISION, the justices wrote, "We find the solicitor's comments so infected the sentencing phase of appellant's trial with unfairness as to make the resulting death sentence a denial of due process."
The ruling angered the McClure family.
"I didn't realize all the stuff that you have to do to actually get a death penalty," Jack McClure Jr. said recently from his Aiken County home, where a portrait of his brother hangs on the dining room wall.
The McClure families had long talks with the solicitor's office about the possibility of appeals. But Jack McClure Jr. thought the case was open and shut because investigators had a taped confession of the defendant saying he made a deal with Satan to kill his father in return for sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
"I was looking for seven years (until the execution). They said something like five appeals, seven years, something like that," Mr. McClure said, repeating what he remembers about his talks with the solicitor's office. "I'm not sure now."
Seven years from sentence to execution is wishful thinking, according to Reishia Kelsey, of the National Center for Victims of Crime in Virginia, which provides victim services, lobbies for pro-victim legislation and offers training to victim advocates and criminal justice professionals. Families involved in death penalty cases should expect to wait more than twice that, she said.
"The (national) average from point of conviction to actual execution is 15 years," Ms. Kelsey said.
Since South Carolina reinstated the death penalty in 1977, the wait almost always has been in the double digits. The average for the past 20 inmates executed is 13.5 years. Two of those were sentenced to death and executed 21 years later.
FOR JACK MCCLURE Jr., a man who spends his spare hours working outside on home projects or watching his grandson learn how to walk, time doesn't seem to matter.
Safety does.
Before the first trial, David McClure Jr. escaped from a prison van while being transferred from a state prison to a mental hospital for an evaluation. He was captured after three hours.
When Jack McClure Jr. found out, he worried his nephew might escape again and come after him or his family.
"At least on death row, he is watched heavily," he said. "I know it's rough on the family, and we've talked about it. All of them still want the death penalty. It's not a revenge-type thing. It's more fear for other lives, I think."
While the McClures await another trial, truck driver Zach Davick makes his daily deliveries of gasoline and enjoys life with his 3-year-old son and second wife.
Mr. Davick's first wife, Tammy, was killed in their Wagener home in September 1994 - shot eight times with a .22-caliber revolver before her head was blown open with a deer rifle. A judge sentenced William Cato to life in prison for the slaying, which police say was drug related.
Since the sentencing hearing, Mr. Davick has not set foot in a courtroom again. But he has remarried, fathered a child and continued working.
"It does help that you can go back on with life, but you always wonder in the back of your mind what's happening and how prison breaks are and things like that," Mr. Davick said. "He's sitting in a prison doing who knows what, and she's buried in the graveyard. And it doesn't make a lot of sense the way the law puts it."
DWAIN REINER, whose husband was killed during a robbery at his Clearwater convenience store in 1994, said a life sentence for convicted killer Chasako Glanton didn't spare her the time-consuming appeals. Because two juveniles were convicted of participating in the crime, Ms. Reiner faces appeals for three people.
"I went to parole hearings for the first boy three times. The fourth time, he was released after he served three years and three days," she said. "It is a continuing, ongoing thing that I am put through.
"I mean, it never ends. Every time you think you can go on with your life, here comes another hearing. It's just so unfair."
Ms. Reiner says she has accepted the death of her husband. After the killing, she continued working at the Medical College of Georgia as a supervisor in the Cardiology Department and retired in June. Now, the Clearwater resident works with her son repossessing automobiles.
She acknowledges she doesn't have to attend the appeals and parole hearings. But when the letters arrive announcing them, she says, she feels obligated to go.
"Wouldn't you?" she asks.
She's still waiting to hear whether one of the defendants will get a new trial based on a recent appeal.
"I mean, that's all I need is to have to go and sit through all of that again," Ms. Reiner said. "It would make you want to get a gun. I mean, I don't own a gun, and I would never do that. But you just wonder, when does it end?
"And when do they think of the victim? When do they think of the person who these boys killed? Once they sentence them, they should have to serve the time."
THE ISSUE OF closure for crime victims has become a national issue, according to Regina Poteat, who serves as public defender in Aiken County.
"Victims of violent crimes have gotten a lot of press these days about needing closure. And we have concluded that in order for victims to have closure, apparently it depends on everything being over," said Ms. Poteat, who has been involved in a death penalty case and many other murder cases. "I don't think closure should depend on that. Yes, the trial can go on. And yes, it may be that (family members) have to continue dealing with it if it requires retrial.
"But in my opinion, closure is something that should happen in a person's heart and soul and should not depend on the ultimate outcome of the case."
Ms. Morgan, the 2nd Circuit solicitor, said most families receive a sense of finality from attending the trial, participating in it and understanding the details of the crime.
During the recent death penalty trial of Hastings Arthur Wise, Ms. Morgan frequently took the families into another room or the hallway to explain what was happening. In the end, many said the jury's death sentence brought closure.
"People said, 'It's done. It's over. Let's move on,"' said Perry Fernandez, a spokesman at R.E. Phelon Co., where Mr. Wise killed four former co-workers in 1997. Mr. Wise had been fired from the Aiken manufacturing plant, and authorities say he returned to get revenge.
Although Mr. Wise might have many appeals left, hearing the evidence at trial and participating brought some finality, Ms. Morgan said.
"As long as you let them understand and participate and honor their relationship and their appreciation of what the system can and cannot do, I think it brings them closure no matter what," she said. "But it's not a perfect science. ... I try to be as straight with them as possible - what I can do and what I can't do. I don't promise them anything, and I try and honor and respect what they are going through. And it is not easy."
AT LEAST ONE victim advocate says families should not expect closure. Laura Slade Hudson, public policy coordinator for the South Carolina Victim Assistance Network, compares a family's pain to scar tissue.
"The wound may have healed to a certain extent, but it has probably healed over a piece of shrapnel. And it still burns, and it's still there," she said. "You might not be bleeding on the outside, but you really don't get closure....
"You get to a state where you might be able to go on with your life. But as long as the appeals are going on, the scar gets recut and recut and recut."
Ms. Townsend, the coroner, says the multiple retrials were hard for the family of Ms. Newsome, especially the victim's daughter, who was 11 years old when Mr. Koon kidnapped her mother from the grocery store, killed her and left her body in the woods.
In the end, after suffering through overturned convictions and two lengthy trials for Mr. Koon, the solicitor's office in 1990 settled on a life sentence because the case file was old and most of the original witnesses were unavailable, Mrs. Townsend said. Mr. Koon pleaded guilty and said he would never ask for parole, the first time such an agreement was made in South Carolina.
AFTER TWO TRIALS and a third sentencing hearing, the Newsome family won't see Mr. Koon die for the crimes. Reached at their Augusta home last month, the Newsome family declined to discuss the case.
But Ms. Morgan, who inherited the case when she became the county's prosecutor, said it wasn't a quick decision to give up the death penalty.
"It was to bring closure to it because of the frustrations of the system as it developed in the evolving death penalty case law," she said. "But you talk about it (with the family) - what's the right thing to do under the circumstances.
"The way we designed his case, we don't think he will ever be out. And if we can guarantee them that under the complexities of the system, then we know we have done our job."
Ms. Slade, the victim advocate, says she doesn't even try to insinuate that families will receive finality from the criminal justice system. There is none, she said.
Instead she said, "You kind of get to a plateau to where you can breathe."
There might be a plateau of the grieving process when the survivor accepts the reality that the loved one is gone. Another plateau might come from an arrest of the criminal and yet another from the trial.
"If you have been the mother or father of someone who has been murdered, you just don't get over it," she said. "Everybody around you wants you to get over it because they want you to come back to being the person that they knew and loved, and you can't.
"The reality is that the justice system is not going to make them feel better no matter what happens. (It) is not going to return the life of their loved one, and it gives them very little satisfaction of justice being done because it takes too damn long."

Montevista Psych Hospital
Am looking at some vegas jobs and wondering if anyone knows anything about Montevista Psych Hospital?
Do they have 12 hour shifts?
Anyone know what the starting pay for RNs is?
Do you need experience?
thanks!Dec 1, '12Montevista hospital has potions but not new grad positions at this time. I called yesterday. Pay is competitive for the area and compared to Ross and Neal (state) its right in line. Shifts unknown i think 12's.
The HR stated they do take new graduates, but again its on a case by case. Also to apply its a paper application so you have to have them e-mail it to you and return it back.

MLB and major distributors sign deals for network, Extra Innings
In the days leading up to Opening Day, MLB executives signed a bevy of carriage renewal deals for MLB Network and the league's out-of-market package, Extra Innings, ending months of sometimes rancorous negotiations with the country's biggest distribution companies.
Many of MLB Network's deals ended at the beginning of the year, meaning that several distributors, including Comcast, Time Warner Cable and DirecTV, carried the network without a contract for at least three months. But since the beginning of the year, MLB said it has cut more than 200 total distribution deals in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It also added 20 new distribution partners and launched in Canada on Rogers Cable.
The deals, which are described as multiyear, were completed late last month. Typically, these deals run for around four or five years. It puts MLB Network in 70 million U.S. homes, according to Nielsen's April figures. By comparison, NFL Network is in 72 million homes, and NBA TV is in 59 million.
Distributors had paid MLB Network about 27 cents per month, according to SNL Kagan. Sources said the network received an increase from that rate, but the league is not getting the 50 cents per month it originally sought at the beginning of these renewal negotiations.
These deals, which were led by MLB executives Tim Brosnan, Tony Petitti and Chris Tully, mark MLB Network's first carriage renewals since its January 2009 launch.
One of the sticking points during the carriage renegotiations dealt with streaming rights. Most distribution deals these days include some sort of authenticated streaming — something that is more complex with baseball given that MLB Advanced Media has operated MLB.TV as a stand-alone business for more than a decade. In their old deals, cable and satellite operators did not have the right to stream Extra Innings.
To cut through that logjam, MLB agreed to bundle its MLB.TV out-of-market streaming package with Extra Innings. Extra Innings subscribers will pay $195 and have access to both for the season. By itself, MLB.TV costs $130.
When it launched five years ago, MLB used Extra Innings as an enticement to get cable and satellite operators to carry the channel. It would not sell Extra Innings to distributors unless they also agreed to carry MLB Network.
Distributors seemed to sour on the out-of-market package, complaining that MLB.TV devalued the TV product by undercutting it in price. Two years ago, Time Warner Cable's chief content officer, Melinda Witmer, said Extra Innings was performing below expectations on Time Warner Cable systems.
"We know today that a consumer can buy directly from baseball at a lower retail price than we can sell it at," Witmer said at the time.
The network has received praise for its high-quality programming. But the channel has struggled with low ratings, though there are signs that its programming is starting to take hold. In 2013, the network averaged 141,000 viewers in prime time, a low figure, but still 33 percent higher than in 2012.
