A/N Sorry about the faffing about, here is the new chapter 14, a bit different from the last one you read, but more interesting I think. Watch out for the next chapter when there is a meeting of our would be lovers.
Millie finished her dinner. She was shocked to hear Gary's account of Sabrina's death. She must have loved Gabriel to go back to him, or was it as Gary said she just loved the lifestyle of being with one of the most famous men in the world at that time.
"Where did the crash happen Gary?" she asked
"On the way back to London, she had been living with me on my boat."
"Was she going back to Nick's house, if they are in London that's where they live these days, was it different then?" Millie asked. If Gabriel had married this woman would he really want her in the same bed as Nick?
"Oh no, Gabriel had an apartment, fabulous place it was, down by the river Thames, we coastal boys like to see water each day you know."
Hmm, that was new to Millie, an apartment down by the Thames, they had never mentioned that. Did Gabriel still own it? Surely he must be renting it out you don't sell something like that, not when you can make lots of money out of it. She couldn't imagine Richie Howlett would be very pleased if he'd sold it.
"So what happened, did you have a row with her?"
Gary was silent for a minute or two, "She was going to tell him that she wanted a divorce. She refused to do it on the phone, said she had to ask him to his face. She was honourable in that way."
I should think so too, thought Millie. How could anyone even think of asking for a divorce by phone or text? She had never been in that position and she was sure it was difficult but even so there had to be some respect.
So Sabrina had got fed up with Gabriel, she couldn't think why unless he was completely different now to how he was then. No matter if Gabriel had shocked her today he was the kindest gentlest man she had ever met. Yeah he had his moments, but even so.
"So what had Gabriel done that she wanted a divorce?"
Again there was silence for a minute. "Would you like another drink Millie?"
"Oh let me get these." she offered.
"No, no woman buys me a drink, I'll get them." Gary stood up
"Oh okay." Millie sat back in her chair. She really must text Nick and Gabe, she knew they would be worried about her. She looked at her phone and made a decision.
"Gabe, I hope you understand but I need a couple of days out. I'll text you later don't worry about me. xxx"
She sent Nick the same message. Feeling very relieved that she had done that, and that she had some time to herself. she settled back to see what more Gary could tell her.
Her phone bleeped with a text message almost immediately.
"Millie, I am so sorry if you were upset. We would both love to explain all this to you when you are ready. Please let us book you into a suite in a hotel we just want you to be safe. xxx"
Crickey does this little place have hotels with suites in it? Perhaps that was in the town but she couldn't let them do that this was her decision. Tomorrow she would go to the town and see for herself.
Gary ordered the drinks, he needed a few minutes to concoct his story he'd make Gabriel pay this time. When he looked back at the girl she was busy texting on her phone, he wondered if it was Gabriel she was texting. She definitely wouldn't want anything else to do with him when he'd finished telling her his story.

Disclaimer: This is just what I did to make things work. It may not help you at all, or it may break things!
The problem I was facing here was that when I got my new pc, rpm fusion had not yet packaged the latest catalyst drivers for Fedora 14. Hence, I originally installed the drivers from AMD's website, quite a tedious process. Now that rpm fusion has released a catalyst package, it would be great to switch to that. Here's the steps I took:
- Uninstall the existing catalyst drivers:
Run (as root):
sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
- Rebuild your initramfs:
cd /boot
mv initramfs-`uname -r`.img initramfs-`uname -r`.img-fglrx
dracut -v /boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`
- Reinstall mesa-libGL:
yum reinstall mesa-libGL
- At this point I restarted and things broke. I'm pretty sure if you remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and disable compiz before restarting, you should be fine.
- After restarting you should be now be running using the "vesa" drivers. Ensure you have all the latest updates (System –> Administration –> Software Updates).
- Install the "kmod-catalyst" package using Add/Remove Software (System –> Administration –> Add/Remove Software)
- Restart, and all should be well. You may need to run the catalyst control center to set up your screens:
su -
- That should be it
If you have the amd unsupported hardware watermark, copy the following into a file (for 64-bit systems):
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $DRIVER
Call the file "wm.sh" (or whatever you prefer), and then run as root:
chmod +x wm.sh
Restart and the watermark should be gone.

Chapter 5
One of the vacant seats on the Marion County Board of Education has been filled.
Jerry Evans was sworn in as the District Five board member on Oct. 14, and in the process, he made history as the first African-American to serve on the Marion County school board.
MCHS additional menu item: assorted Pop-tart or cereal bar, grab and go breakfast served in lobby daily
Wednesday, Oct. 15 - Assorted Pop-tart and two toast or assorted cereal and two toast, juice, pineapple, strawberry cup and milk
Thursday, Oct. 16 - Biscuit and sausage or assorted cereal and toast, cinnamon maple applesauce, fruit cocktail, juice and milk
Friday, Oct. 17 - Cinnamon bun and toast or assorted cereal and toast, peaches, sliced pears, juice and milk
The Marion County Public Library is hosting a meet and greet for candidates at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Candidates for any office on the ballot are invited to attend. Candidates will have five minutes apiece to field non-partisan questions from the public, followed by an opportunity for candidates and visitors to mingle over light refreshments.
Candidates can RSVP by calling Library Director Amy Morgeson at 270-692-4698 Ext. 225.
While Marion County students enjoyed a break from classes last week, many of them found another way to continue their education. Several students in Project Lead the Way participated in co-ops at local businesses and industries.
At Angell Demmel, junior Chris Piekarski and senior Brandon O'Daniel were assigned with coming up with a way to ship parts for a Lexus vehicle overseas without damaging them. They also got to try their hand at designing a crate in AutoCAD (a computer-aided design and drafting program).
The District Two seat on the Marion County Board of Education has been vacant since then-chairman Michael Mullins resigned in May. Two candidates are vying to fill that seat in the Nov. 4 election, teacher Angela Carter and attorney Kaelin Reed.
Both candidates agree that the school board needs to rebuild its relationship with the public, and both believe they have the background to help.
According to Carter, people go see a cardiologist if they have a heart problem. Likewise, she thinks an educator could help with education problems.

Primary tabs
Noma is a type of gangrene that destroys mucous membranes of the mouth and other tissues. It occurs in malnourished children in areas where sanitation and cleanliness are lacking.
Alternative Names
Cancrum oris; Gangrenous stomatitis
The exact cause is unknown, but noma may be due to a certain kind of bacteria.
This disorder most often occurs in young, severely malnourished children between the ages of 2 to 5. Often they have had an illness such as measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, or cancer. They may also have a weakened immune system.
Risk factors include:
- A type of malnutrition called Kwashiorkor, and other forms of severe protein malnutrition
- Poor sanitation and dirty living conditions
- Disorders such as measles or leukemia
- Living in a developing country
Noma causes sudden tissue destruction that rapidly gets worse. First, the gums and lining of the cheeks become inflamed and develop sores (ulcers). The ulcers develop a foul-smelling drainage, causing bad breath and skin odor.
The infection spreads to the skin, and the tissues in the lips and cheeks die. This can eventually destroy the soft tissue and bone. The destruction of the bones around the mouth causes deformity of the face and loss of teeth.
Noma can also affect the genitals, spreading to the genital skin (this is sometimes called noma pudendi).
Exams and Tests
Physical examination shows inflamed areas of the mucous membranes, mouth ulcers, and skin ulcers. These ulcers have a foul-smelling drainage. There may be other signs of malnutrition.
Antibiotics and proper nutrition helps stop the disease from getting worse. Plastic surgery may be necessary to remove destroyed tissues and reconstruct facial bones. This will improve facial appearance and the function of the mouth and jaw.
Outlook (Prognosis)
In some cases, this condition can be deadly if it is not treated. Other times, the condition may heal over time even without treatment. However, it can cause severe scarring and deformity.
Possible Complications
These complications can occur:
- Deformity of the face
- Discomfort
- Difficulty speaking and chewing
- Isolation
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Medical care is needed if mouth sores and inflammation occur and persist or get worse.
Improving nutrition, cleanliness, and sanitation may help.

Lonsdale Legion team drops 2 in District tourney
Lonsdale's Post 586 American Legion baseball team dropped both of its games in the Third District Division II tournament in Lonsdale, falling to Jordan on Saturday and Elysian on Sunday.
Lonsdale gave up six runs in the first inning against Jordan on their way to a 7-2 loss. Matt Rud was the starting pitcher, but had control problems and gave way to Justin Scheffler after only five batters. Scheffler shut down Jordan, allowing only five hits the rest of the way, but the damage was already done.
Lonsdale outhit Jordan 8-6. Rud homered in the second for Lonsdale and had two hits.

Quake of 5.7 magnitude shakes Sikkim
February 14, 2006 10:30 IST
Last Updated: February 14, 2006 18:06 IST
An earthquake of 5.7 magnitude on the Richter scale rocked Sikkim on Tuesday, killing at least two army personnel and two persons, including a girl.
Scores of important structures and buildings were also damaged in and around Gangtok.
State Chief Secretary N B Chingappa told reporters that two army personnel at Sherathang army camp, at an altitude of 12,000 foot in East Sikkim, were killed when they were hit by rolling boulders.
Further details were awaited as communication lines were disrupted, following the natural calamity.
The quake, which was felt at 6:25 am, sent people panicking in Sikkim and neighbouring hill sub-divisions of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and many parts of northern districts of West Bengal.
Reports reaching Gagntok said buildings of Raj Bhavan, headquarters of Sikkim Police, Enchey monastery, State Secretariat, State Bank of India office at Zero point and many others at Rangpo and Bardan in East Sikkim were damaged. Many important roads linking Gangtok were also damaged, the reports added.
DIG (Range) A Sachdeva said most of the damage had been reported from East Sikkim.
Reports of earthquake at Darjeeling, Kurseong and Kalingpong in neighbouring West Bengal were also received. A Siliguri report said the hill sub-divisons were rocked Tuesday morning sending the people out of home in panic. There was, however, no report of any casualty.
Minor tremors were also felt in Siliguri, Cooch Behar and Maldah regions of north Bengal.
Sachdeva said in east Sikkim two people -- a girl and a man -- were injured in the quake. The girl sustained injuries when a portion of roof fell on her during sleep at Ranipool. The man was injured�when a boulder hit him.
An emergency meeting of the disaster managemet group comprising army, police and civil officials was going on to chalk out the evacuation. State Urban Department and Public Works Department officials were asked to find out about damaged buildings and report to the state chief minister by Wednesday for emergency evacuation.
Ground floor and first floor of the six-storey Secretariat building were damaged. However, the building was declared safe. An army barrack at Bardang was also damaged along with Sikkim Manipal Medical College.
Meanwhile, Buddhist lamas in various monasteries started special prayers to pacify the "nature god". All the lamas and priests of the Enchey monastery�were evacuated after cracks appeared in the 150-year-old monastery.
Reports of quake in the neighbouring Bhutan also received.
Government sources said the people were asked to keep calm and not to panic.
There was no report of any damange in north, west and south Sikkim.

Carbon Fiber Comes to Bikes
In 1992, as the first issues of Men's Journal were landing on newsstands, the Wisconsin bikemaker Trek released its first all-carbon-fiber-framed road bike, the Trek 5500. "The next revolution in road bikes is here," declared Trek's catalog. The sales pitch might have been hyperbolic, but one fact was impossible to ignore: It was the lightest production bike frame in the world. At the time, steel frames clocked in at over four pounds. Aluminum frames were a bit lighter, in the range of three and a half pounds. Trek's 5500, made of carbon fiber – strands of nearly microscopic polymer composites bonded in resins – came in a full pound under that. In cycling, where a gram can seem like a ton, it was huge.
For nearly a century, the world's top racers had ridden steel-framed bikes. For a brief time in the 1990s, aluminum frames dominated the Tour de France, but their time in the sun was short – 1998 was the last year anyone could win the Tour on aluminum. Carbon had already taken its place.
A material boasting nearly the same tensile strength as steel (it has since eclipsed it) at a fraction of the weight – and an almost unsettling ability to dampen road vibration – carbon was the material for building sleek, lightweight bikes.
The idea that a company as influential as Trek had entered the carbon market – to drive home the point, the 5500 featured the word carbon stenciled on the top tube – was a clear signal of where the industry was headed.
But the full carbon conversion didn't take hold until the end of the decade, and it had as much to do with a man as a material. In 1999, Lance Armstrong won the Tour on a Trek 5500 SL – a stock version of the updated 5500. The bike weighed around 18 pounds (by comparison, Miguel Indurain's 1993 Tour de Francewinning Pinarello tipped the scales at more than 22 pounds). From then on, every winning bike in the Tour was carbon, and the bikes were getting lighter still.Back to top

The reason why I started to think about this is that I lay awake one night thinking about the pains we've had with XSLTing RDF. It should be possible to create a HTML-near templating language. And RDFa is HTML-near, here we go: "RDFa Templates": http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/software/rat/ Basically, the idea is to use the RDF graph encoded in section of an RDFa document in the SPARQL WHERE clause. Additionally, I wanted to do this with minimal changes to parsers so that XML, RDF and RDFa tools could be used pretty much as they are. If any extension would be added, it should use the concepts we allready have. The idea I came up with was the name this section so that it would become a named graph. Thus, when the document is parsed, I could have a hash that would have the graph name URI as they key and the corresponding RDF graph as the value. So, my next thought was then "since the graph is now detached from the document it was in, how do I identify where it came from?" My answer was to use xml:id to name the graph, thus, the full graph name would be the URI of the document with the content of the xml:id attribute as a fragment identifier. Then, the template builder would just need to get the fragment identifier from the graph name, then $dom->getElementById($fragment) and I would have all I need. Toby has several good arguments why xml:id might not be such a good idea, importantly its use in SVG, but I also feel that there should be an attribute that one can rely on. I saw that this was Michael's first reaction to Toby's draft too, so I'll address that in that thread. My main use case right now is this: Get as easy access to the XML that surrounds the graph as possible, and that seems to be by using $dom->getElementByID. However, I understand that one can define an attribute to be an ID in a schema, so we could in principle define our own for this purpose.

Whoever said fashion blogging is stupid or pointless had no idea what they were talking about. According to a recent article published by Signature 9 Fashion Magazines or Fashion Bloggers: Who's More Influential Online? fashion bloggers are edging out magazines who (often) have larger staffs and larger budgets when it comes to influencing readers online. When Signature 9 published the The 99 Most Influential Fashion & Beauty Blogs they manually reviewed over 1000 fashion and beauty blogs and assigned a score based on the content quality, popularity and buzz. (Their list included a few fashion blogs I noted last week in- Fashion and Street Style Bloggers You Should Know) Using that same ranking criteria some fashion bloggers are beating the online fashion magazines in terms of influence factor. The list of online fashion magazines ranked are mostly US editions of international magazines, but in nearly every case the US editions receive more traffic, link and social activity than their international counterparts.
In the fashion blogger vs. fashion magazine comparison here are the rankings.
Top ranking online fashion magazines
Style.com (2)
The former home of Vogue and W helped establish the Sartorialist, so perhaps it's fitting that if included, the Sartorialist is the only blog that would rival (and top) their influence.
GQ.com (3)
The men's print style bible would just barely push men's online style bible Hypebeast into 4th place.
Glamour.com (5)
Style.com certainly has the strongest lead, but Glamour's put a respectable effort into building their online presence with a blogger network and dedicated online content. Looking strictly at current magazine websites, Glamour's is the most influential women's style site in the US.
Elle.com (6)
Elle is a few points away from Glamour, but the popular magazine has worked with bloggers through the Style Coalition for some time now, and brought in former Fashionista editor Brit Aboutaleb to lead editorial for their online efforts. The Elle blog is one of the few magazine blogs with enough influence to rank in the top 99 independent of the parent website.
Vogue.com (9)
Vogue got off to a late start with their website, but they recently received a Webby and Anna Wintour has been vocal about making the website a priority.
Top ranking influential fashion & style blogs
- The Sartorialist
- Hypebeast
- High Snobiety
- Stylelist
- Refinery 29
- Go Fug Yourself
- Garance Done
- Style Rookie
- Face Hunter
- Fashion Toast
Find out the rest of the top ranking influential fashion blogs HERE
Influential blogs not in the top 10 that I think are worth noting:
Independent Fashion Bloggers (which I just joined) cultivates a community for fashion bloggers to share their experiences and create a resource so everyone can build a better blog. They posting helpful articles, host a community linking group, and serves as a platform to connect bloggers and PR in a safe an mutually beneficial way.
Street Etiquette– a style blog that approaches personal style from an urban perspective. With sartorial influences stretching over many areas and eras of fashion, owners combine to publish a truly unique vision of fashionable menswear.
Who What Wear-is your immediate access to fashion as portrayed by the world's finest trendsetters. You will get daily reports on the editors favorite new trends the moment they hit the runways, the courtyard at the Chateau, or even the parking lot at Maxfield.
Don't get it twisted magazines do influence people but the fact that fashion bloggers can influence just as many should not be ignored. For fashion bloggers it is refreshing to know that your opinion and voice do matter in fashion media. Personally I still read print publications but alot of my direct inspiration comes from online bloggers and publishers. The next ranking update is September 2011 which will also include the influence of international online magazines compared to bloggers. It is my hope that one day The Seventh District will appear on one of these highly respected lists.

Dear Dr. Do: My left
for the past full month. It start from no apparent reason, then slowly spread to all joints of my foot, top and bottom (sole). My uric acid level is 6.8 and I was prescribed Colchicine 0.6 mg. The swollen reduced to about 50%. X-ray revealed no fracture and my podiatrist gave two injections of Cortisone. My foot was almost cured for two days, then the swollen came back (about 30%). The MRI revealed nothing but swollen.

Well Now a month later my skin stays very dry and my left
/ankle is
daily, plus my hands seem to hurt every morning I wake up. First question: I'm I still recovering from the allergic reaction from the Steven Johnson Syndrome? And how long does it normal take to recover from this illness? Second question: What would lead to my ankle to swell on & off. I can barley walk on the ankle. (Doctor already told me this ankle issue is not gout).

It allows the heart to pump your blood more efficiently. Was it RXed for your
swelling? The Colchicine is used to treat
. Two doses would not have been enough to know if it was effective in treating a gout flare. Gout doesn't always act the same in every person...however it's easy to rule this in or out based on Uric Acid levels in your blood. I assume your PCP has done this and that is his rationale behind dismissing Gout.

My husband's right
and very painful. All medical test show nothing, no infection, no vascular problems, no nerve problems, All the doctors we have seen are baffled. I can send a picture if need be. The blood veins on top of his foot are breaking and bleeding. He says the pain is most severe on the ball of his foot. It started with his big toe, spread to the next three, now it is his whole foot. It is not gout, or lymphedema. He has done everything but an MRI.

First I get a tiny red blotch on my inner ankle that hurts to touch like its a bad bruise. With in three to four hours my
and ankle is so
you cant even see my ankle bones.The slightest touch such as my hem of my pants or the covers in bed is extreemly painful. The first 24 hours I can barely walk on it. The second day my foot is still sensictive to touch, very swollen, looks like I have a bright red sock on, it's slightly warm to the touch.

The swelling extended to the top of my
at the base of my big toe. It hurt so bad that just sitting it was throbbing. I thought maybe I had sprained it or something during a walk or jog. it was so bad I could not sleep. I went to my podiatrist who did x-rays but said the bones were fine. She said it was gout. I have been reading on this and it all points to obesity as a cause.

In the mean time I developed a very

The only thing that is uncomfortable is the fact that I have to wear sandals because my shoes won't fit over my foot (the top of the

His foot looks
and reddish now also. He's also prone to
having had a few
attacks recently. We took him to a doctor and they did a blood test from his arm (not his knee) and x-ray. Nothing on the x-ray. They said from the blood test (from his arm) that he does not have an infection. His uric acid level was 7.1. He is not running a fever. Is it likely to be gout from the description I've presented or likely to be an infected bursa? Or something else?

Anyone who reads this column will know that I cannot abide poor customer service and I do feel that we put up with it too easily in England.
However, it's also not fair to and then never praise a company or business when something is exceptional.
We recently went to a pizza restaurant for a meal when two of our usual five were away on sleep-overs.
Child number three felt very left out and we thought we'd cheer him up with his favourite treat, ice cream in a bowl with sweets.
Having placed our order, we were handed bowls to fill up with salad. When my husband got up, his jeans were soaking wet at the back. It was frankly disgusting.
We called the waitress over and she said: "Could it be where the seat was wiped?"
Presumably this was due to the fact that the cushion was some kind of plastic. I asked her to touch the chair, whereupon she agreed the amount of liquid did not equate to that left behind by a damp cloth. We hadn't even had a drink at this stage, so were not responsible for any spillage.
The seat was duly removed and the manager said she'd apply a discount to our bill and thanked us for being so reasonable. A new chair was found.
Later, our £50 bill was reduced by half. At home the jeans were washed and all was fine. This was one example of where a potentially negative situation was turned into something positive. It ensured we won't mind visiting again.

I Know Alot More....
....than you think I know. I hate that my family tries to "protect" me by not telling me something, trying to "encourage" me to make certain decisions, etc. Oh, please. I already know. HELLO, I'm not 11. I'm 21 living my own life and I don't need your protection. If I make a mistake, its my mistake that I will have to learn from. No one is perfect. Where were you when I was younger and needed you? Exactly my point. Get over yourself. I could understand if I was immature and naive, but I'm the complete opposite and its been said time and time again by everyone I've ever known or met. Theres so much you don't know about me because you rather live in your bubble instead of realize that I've grown into a beautiful, ambitious, mature young woman. I LOVE you, but let me grow up and live my life.
Now, if only I could find a nicer way to actually say this to them.... :(
So since u r 21 u think u are wiser than people older than u ?

Don't be mistaken maturity is attained by experience and experience is attained with time ...

Somedays u'll be makin' some grave mistake that u will deeply regret, and that day u will think "Why didn't i listen to them ?"

But not u wanted to be selfish then go ahead and ditch the advice of people who cares for u.

Several people "with direct knowledge of the situation" have revealed that LANCE ARMSTRONG "has told associates and anti-doping officials that he is considering publicly admitting that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career," according to Juliet Macur of the N.Y. TIMES. Sources claimed that he would do this "because he wants to persuade anti-doping officials to restore his eligibility, so he can resume his athletic career." When asked if Armstrong might admit to doping, Armstrong's lawyer TIM HERMAN said, "Lance has to speak for himself on that." Armstrong "has been under pressure from various fronts to confess." One source said that wealthy supporters of Livestrong, the charity he founded after surviving testicular cancer, have been "trying to persuade him to come forward, so he could clear his conscience and save the organization from further damage." Herman said that the option to confess to anti-doping officials "was not currently on the table." However, the sources familiar with the situation said that Armstrong, 41, "was in fact moving toward confessing and had even been in discussions with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency." A source added that Armstrong was also "seeking to meet" World Anti-Doping Agency Dir General DAVID HOWMAN (N.Y. TIMES, 1/4). BLOOMBERG's Bob Bensch noted Howman said WADA has "read with interest" the N.Y. Times article, but said that Armstrong "hasn't approached the organization." Howman: "To date, WADA had had no official approach from Mr. Armstrong or his legal representatives, but -- as with anyone involved in anti-doping violations -- it would welcome any discussion that helps in the fight against doping in sport" (BLOOMBERG, 1/5).

I can't say enough about the beautiful work Reynolds-Sebastiani Design Services did conceptualizing and installing my wonderful "Vieux Carre" Like" San Francisco garden. The immense talent and vision that went into fulfilling my garden dream was a huge success thanks to them. The more time our family and friends spend in the garden the more we love the experience and am pleased to have found this creative team. The more the garden settles and grows the better it gets. Also worth mentioning, Reynolds-Sebastiani have made themselves extremely accessible to me post installation regarding ideas and questions. I have recommended them to others and I look forward to doing so when ever there's a chance. If anyone would like to tour the garden, please do!!!—Tom Callahan, Church St. San Francisco
"Working with Christopher, Alysia and their team was a pleasure. Christopher's design was beautifully presented. He was very responsive in addressing any concerns or questions regarding design and materials. The crew was very hard working, and also responded immediately to any issues that came up during installation. Alysia was absolutely wonderful – spending hours making sure every last detail was perfect. Alysia's did a great job with the landscape lighting – I now have a beautiful, peaceful garden that we enjoy from morning and into the night. —Catherine Wright, Burlingame Ave. Burlingame

When Georgia Tech's high-scoring forward Ryan Fritz earned the most valuable player trophy in the 2010 Savannah Tire Hockey Classic, it was in a losing cause.
On Saturday, Fritz improved on that achievement, repeating as the Stathis Trophy winner and leading the Yellow Jackets to the team title with a 9-5 win over Georgia before a sellout crowd of 5,604 at the Savannah Civic Center.
"People pride themselves on individual statistics," Fritz said. "We're here for one reason, and that's to take the trophy home as a team."
The Yellow Jackets (11-7 this season) successfully defended their 2011 title in earning their event-best seventh Thrasher Cup in its 14-year history. Fritz had five goals, including three consecutive scores as Tech surged to a 6-3 lead in the second period.
"He does that in the big games," Tech coach Brian McSparron said. "He knows the tournament means a lot to the boys. He's a good leader for the team."
Georgia coach John Hoos, whose squad has won five Cups, the last in 2007, said of Fritz: "He's a good player, certainly he beat us tonight. Hats off to him. He played a heck of a game."
And the bad news for the rest of the field is that Fritz, an environmental engineering major, said he has one more year of eligibility.
Georgia (7-9-1) had a standout scorer of its own in Peter Kacer (three goals), but could not keep up with Tech's offense.
"Our guys played hard the whole game. They never quit," Hoos said.
"Georgia challenged us from the first period," McSparron said.
The onslaught of four consecutive Jackets scores actually followed the second goal of the game for Kacer and a 3-2 Georgia advantage with 14:46 left in the second period.
Then it was all Tech, and a lot of Fritz.
Mitchell Carr knotted the game 1:19 later, then Fritz scored for 4-3 Tech with 7:40 remaining.
The Jackets thought they went up 5-3 on a power-play goal, but it was negated by high sticking. No matter, as 14 seconds later, Fritz came through and it counted as fans tossed a few hats and other items onto the ice.
Fritz showed his sniper's accuracy as he was wide open in the right circle and bearing down on Georgia goalie Vince Dicarlo. Following this fourth Fritz score, Dicarlo, who faced 21 shots in the period, reacted in frustration as the Jackets celebrated their 6-3 lead with 3:06 left.
"Our guys weren't shooting enough (in the first period)," McSparron said. "We challenged them in the locker room. We're playing good, but we're not shooting enough."
Events went Tech's way early, but Georgia had a strong response as the squads were tied at 2 after one period.
Tech goalie Michael Klein denied Cam Navis on a penalty shot with 4:22 gone in the game. The Jackets compounded the Ice Dogs' frustration by netting the first goal on crisp passing from Fritz to Zack Berry to Matthew Zaske with 8:54 expired.
Georgia answered with goals from Kyle Blankenship and Kacer for a 2-1 edge, but Fritz showed nice stickwork on a breakaway to tie the contest with just 13 ticks left in the period.
"That last goal was big," Fritz said of the tying score. "It was taking momentum from them and bringing it back to us."
Note: The all-tournament team featured Tech's Fritz and goalie C.J. Layer; Georgia's Kacer; Florida's Scott Schwartz and Jake Lewis; and Florida State's Blake Wladyka and Niko Sterghos.

Endurance Training & Heart Rate
Endurance training is characterized by exercise bouts where the body maintains an elevated heart rate for an extended period of time; usually 20 minutes or more. The goal of this type of training is to increase cardiovascular endurance and stamina in order to achieve a goal. Goals for endurance training include, but are not limited to, completing road races, decreasing body fat and cholesterol, decreasing blood pressure or increasing energy and mobility. Whatever the goal, the heart rate plays an important role in the success of endurance training.
Video of the Day
Resting Heart Rate
Resting heart rate is a benchmark for overall cardiovascular fitness. The resting heart rate is the number of heart beats per minute during true rest which is most effectively measured after sleep, while still lying down. The average resting heart range is 60 to 80 beats per minute. Those that participate in regular endurance training are on the low end of the range, and it is not uncommon to see resting heart rates even lower. In fact, some elite endurance athletes have measured resting rates in the low 30s. Due to other physiological changes in the heart like increased stroke volume and cardiac output, the heart can beat less and still pump an equal volume of blood. Therefore, endurance training progressively decreases resting heart rate.
Maximal Heart Rate
There are many methods of how to accurately determine the maximal heart rate. Most methods use age as a primary determining factor, but using age does not take into consideration individual health and fitness levels. The most accurate method for determining maximal heart rate is through cardiac testing using a graded exercise test, or GXT. However, due to the time it takes to administer the GXT, and the required equipment, it is not economical for the majority of the population. Maximal heart rate, or the closest possible estimate, is used to prescribe endurance training heart rate zones. While cardiac output increases and resting heart rate decreases with endurance training, there is no real associated variation in maximal heart rate in response to endurance training; however, it has been estimated that maximal heart rate decreases by one beat per minute every year.
Endurance Training Heart Rate Zone
The purpose of discovering a maximal heart rate is so that a target training zone can be prescribed. The target zone is usually between 60 and 85 percent of the maximal heart rate. It is the range in which the exercise activity can be continually performed for the designated time period. In order to train aerobically for endurance, and for the positive physiological adaptations to take place, the exerciser needs to stay within the range. If the intensity is too low, the benefits will be limited, and if it's too high, the workload becomes anaerobic in nature and will lead to faster fatigue.
Heart Rate as a Health Risk Factor
Just as a low resting heart rate can be a fitness benchmark, so can a high resting heart rate. As the resting heart rate increases, it becomes more of a risk factor or warning of potential health conditions. High heart rates are closely associated with other health conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. If the heart is beating faster to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body, it simply won't last as long. In January of 2009, a study published in Aging Research Reviews, titled "Heart Rate, Lifespan, and Mortality Risk," outlined a direct correlation with resting heart rates above 70 and a linear relationship with the occurrence of heart attacks.
Conditions that Affect Heart Rate
There are some important conditions that need to be evaluated and considered before beginning any endurance training program. They are tachycardia, bradycardia and arrhythmia. Tachycardia is a medical condition that is characterized by high resting heart rates. It is not as serious in children as it is in adults as children have higher rates. Bradycardia is characterized by lower than average resting heart rate. It is not as dangerous a risk factor as tachycardia but should be evaluated prior to endurance training to determine if it is due to fitness or another factor. Arrhythmia is characterized by an irregular beat. A doctor should determine the cause before starting a fitness program because there are potential dangerous side effects such as light-headedness, fainting, dizziness and nausea.

ScratchCam V2.1 Is Here!
Well almost a year on since we released version 2.0 of Scratchcam, version 2.1.1 finally arrived with a number of updates and tweaks, but with one small new feature that will change the way you use ScratchCam for ever! Click here to download ScratchCam 2.1.1 now. The all new "Stamp" button does just one thing, it "stamps" the currently selected effects onto your photo. But the great thing about this is that it allows you to stack infinite amounts of effects on top of each other. Not only that, but it also...Read More

New ScratchCam Frame Pack Released
Hey everyone, we've been playing around with some frame ideas lately and have picked three to include in a brand new download pack for you to try out. There's a new film type effect, a weathered wooden frame and a wonky old print type effect which when combined with some classic ScratchCam colours and scratches can be used to create some great looks. I made an example of each frame just now using a shot I took a couple of weeks ago whilst flying back into Sydney at sunrise (awesome btw). Check them out, download the...Read More

Barrick Gold, the largest gold producer in the world, has plans to assess the impact of increase in taxes on the gold imports by the Indian government. In addition, the company is awaiting a court ruling on its ownership row with another Canadian gold miner Goldcorp over a copper and gold mine in Chile.
Barrick Gold operates mines in North America, South America, Australia and Africa and has mainly gold and copper in its portfolio. In addition to Goldcorp, it competes with mining companies like Newmont Mining, Freeport McMoran and others.
See Full Analysis for Barrick Gold Here
Duties hike by India to affect demand?
In its budget this month, India doubled import tax on gold bars and coins to 4% on value for the second time this year. Further, the Indian government is contemplating an additional tax of 2% on jewelry purchases of approximately more than $4,000. [1]
The company is still determining the impact on its gold shipments to the world's largest gold importer. We wonder if these taxes will discourage the seemingly insatiable Indian demand for gold investment and jewelry, which is sometimes blamed for the current account deficit for the country. India imported more than 930 tons of gold in 2011. [2]
Chilean mine ownership battle with Goldcorp could end soon
Mining companies face intense competition to find attractive sources of already limited natural resources and sometimes get entangled in legal battle. One cannot expect the world's two largest gold producers, Barrick Gold and Goldcorp, to remain insulated. The companies have locked horns over ownership of a mine in Chile, South America.
Barrick Gold had alleged that Goldcorp illegitimately got ownership of mine through violations of agreements among the mine's shareholders. The mine's gold reserves are believed to be more than three times of Goldcorp's total gold production last year. The case is currently pending with Superior Court of Justice in Toronto and ruling is expected anytime soon. [3]
Gold constitutes nearly 90% of our price estimate for the company. Accordingly any adverse outcome could impact our estimate of the company's value.
Our price estimate for Barrick Gold stands at $59, implying a premium of about 35% to the current market price.

I have been a faithful listener to a multitude of podcasts since almost each of their respective starts. But lately three of my favorites The Instance, Twizzcast, and Bitter and Salty have really turned up the Alliance hate with comments like "the mistake of playing Alliance (Sláinte, Bitter and Salty), "who cares it's Alliance (Twizz, Twizzcast) and the general lack of knowledge of anything Alliance side on The Instance. A playful jab here and there is a good chuckle for everyone (ala Horde for Life), but these other hosts are dismissing a good chunk of their audience. I don't know what the numbers actually are but off the top of my head I can think of only two podcasts (The Mana Cooler and recently Convert to Raid) that acknowledge the Alliance side of the game at all.
I know, I know it's their podcast and they can say what they like and I don't have to download it, but you'd think they'd realize they owe it to their audiences to at least respect one half of the game they say they love. It seems that the game is more friendly than ever for players to enjoy both factions and play the other side as alts, but not in the podcast world. It is almost like some of these podcasters want to take sides like MSNBC and FoxNews do in politics, cover only one side and make the other look bad.

The purest water
With greater purity thanks to our purification technology, eleia pure is purified bottled water, providing a lighter, fresher drinking experience than ordinary bottled water. This makes it the ideal water for anyone leading an active, healthy lifestyle.
When we produce eleia pure, we draw water from a natural underground source. It then passes through multiple levels of micron-filtration. Next we use a specialist, purification technology that forces water through tight membranes to remove dissolved solids and impurities. This guarantees a higher level of purity, quality and taste for the purest bottled water.

This is how 2 referees rated Kirsty:
|Hourly Rate
Media / Communication Studies
|Hourly Rate
I really enjoy reading , both the classics and modern novels. I also enjoy watching films, again both old and new. I enjoy going to the theatre whenever I have the opportunity. I have two young sons so much of my time is taken up with them and all their different interests.
I have been teaching for sixteen years at a range of schools, specialising at A Level English Literature and Media in the last ten years. I have also been an examiner for A Level Englsh Literature for eight years. I have taught pupils of a range of abilities.
I have a great enthusiasm for my subjects and it is this that I want to pass on to the students that I teach. I also feel it is very important for students to have a very good understanding of what exams require in order for them to do well and I would therefore make this a priority when teaching.
Listening to the student and understanding their areas of interest or topics where they feel they have weaknesses is also very important for me as then I can ensure the tutoring sessions are as useful as possible

Cranium Chest And Spine Computerized Axial Tomography
What you should know
A computed axial tomography scan is also called a CT scan, or CAT scan. A CT scan uses x-rays to take pictures of bones, tissues, and blood vessels in your cranium (skull), chest, and spine.
Care AgreementYou have the right to help plan your care. Learn about your health condition and how it may be treated. Discuss treatment options with your caregivers to decide what care you want to receive. You always have the right to refuse treatment.
- The contrast used in a CT scan may cause a rash, itching, or trouble breathing. If you have diabetes, your risk for kidney damage may increase if contrast dye is used. If you are pregnant, a CT scan may be harmful to your unborn baby. The radiation from a CT scan may damage your eyes, or increase your risk for cancer. A CT scan may not show some medical problems.
- If you do not have a CT scan, your caregiver may not find or learn about your condition, and it may get worse. Without the scan, caregivers may not know if treatments are working.
Getting Ready
Before your procedure:
- Write down the correct date, time, and location of your procedure.
- Ask caregivers if you should have someone drive you home after your CT scan.
- Ask your caregiver if you need to stop using aspirin or any other prescribed or over-the-counter medicine before your procedure or surgery.
- Bring your medicine bottles or a list of your medicines when you see your caregiver. Tell your caregiver if you are allergic to any medicine. Tell your caregiver if you use any herbs, food supplements, or over-the-counter medicine.
- Tell your caregiver if you know or think you might be pregnant.
The night before your procedure:
Ask caregivers about directions for eating and drinking.
The day of your procedure:
- Ask your caregiver before taking any medicine on the day of your procedure. These medicines include insulin, diabetic pills, high blood pressure pills, or heart pills. Bring a list of all the medicines you take, or your pill bottles, with you to the hospital.
- You or a close family member will be asked to sign a legal document called a consent form. It gives caregivers permission to do the procedure or surgery. It also explains the problems that may happen, and your choices. Make sure all your questions are answered before you sign this form.
- You will be asked to remove any objects that contain metal, such as jewelry, that may interfere with the pictures.
- Caregivers may insert an intravenous tube (IV) into your vein. A vein in the arm is usually chosen. Through the IV tube, you may be given liquids and medicine.
- You may need an injection of a contrast dye to help caregivers see blood vessels or tissue more clearly. Tell your caregiver if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye. You may be given medicine to help prevent a reaction to the dye.
What will happen:
- Your caregiver will have you lie on a narrow table. Your head may be held still with straps on your forehead and chin. Caregivers may monitor your heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure during the scan. If you are getting contrast dye, pictures may be taken before and after the dye is given. The CT scan table will be moved into the hole in the middle of the machine. You will hear clicking sounds as the machine moves and takes pictures.
- You will need to lie still during the CT scan. Caregivers may tell you to hold your breath or avoid swallowing for a few seconds during the scan. When the scan is done, the table will move out of the machine.
After your procedure:
Caregivers will monitor you closely for any problems. Do not get out of bed until your caregiver says it is okay. When your caregiver sees that you are okay, you will be able to go home or be taken to your hospital room.
Contact a caregiver if
- You cannot make it to your procedure.
Seek Care Immediately if
- Your symptoms, such as headaches or trouble breathing, get worse.

Philomena Flies (and so do I)
Like Philomena, I'm flying away.
For how long? — I can't say.
Blame it on the computer!
My two-year-old PC has been freezing and crashing and losing its mind for a great deal of time. Minor problems started as early as last year, but recently they've grown bigger and more annoying; they've joined forces and have become a HUGE pain in my peace & love derrière.
So off it goes to the repair shop, today.
The computer, not the derrière.
Following the tech guy's report on the condition my computer's in, I will take a long look at the big picture; and when I say "big picture," I mean the not too distant future.
I want to get into podcasting — eventually have my very own online radio show — so I need to VISUALIZE + ATTRACT + MANIFEST an iMac. I want a mean machine equipped with all the cool tools so I can record and mix and even conduct interviews.
And in order to get the ball rolling…to ease myself into podcasting…I've been working on a new website — MUDDINYOURFACE — that will somehow compliment this Oza blog as it will give the Mudd in me a chance to express herself more freely…in English only.
It's going to be in blog format, exclusively dedicated to short audio messages. Funny ones, deep ones, silly ones, whatever.
Daily blurts of the subconscious mind.
So off I go into the great blue yonder.
Flying over the rainbow…where dreams
really do come true.

Nice to be back. Catching up on my Oza reading, and loving every minute. Hope the summer has been super for you.

A House panel will vote Friday on whether to recall a dvision leader at the embattled IRS.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will vote Friday on whether Lois Lerner, director of IRS's Exempt Organizations division, waived her Fifth Amendment rights when she spoke at a May 22 hearing.
Lerner—who was called to testify about the IRS's targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status—declined to answer questions from lawmakers on the oversight panel, citing her right against self-incrimination. But Lerner delivered an opening statement, telling the committee she had done nothing wrong.
Some Republicans objected—saying that she waived her rights with that opening statement and she should be required to stay and answer questions.
The panel's chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., let Lerner leave, but at the end of the hearing, he recessed, rather than adjourned, the session. That move allowed him to re-open the hearing if they determined she had waived her rights.
In a news release today, Issa said the committee on Friday will consider whether she waived her rights. "If the committee finds that Lerner waived her rights, she could be brought back before the Committee to answer questions," the release states.
Lerner has been at the center of the political firestorm over the IRS's scandal ever since she first revealed the agency had targeted tea party groups at a bar association conference last month. In the wake of the controversy, she has been placed on administrative leave.
Friday's proceedings will be livestreamed here: http://oversight.house.gov.

Latest News
***July 12, 2013*** Earlier this week, I signed a contract to play my third European season with Beibarys Atyrau based out of Kazakhstan. I will be heading over to Kazakhstan in the next couple of weeks, and I am excited for this opportunity to continue this chapter in my life. Last season, Beibarys Atyrau lost in the finals of the league championship, so I will do my best to help the team in any aspect en route to succeeding in our goal of bringing a championship back to Beibarys. The team website can be reached here: http://www.hcbeibarys.kz/news.php while the league website can be accessed here: http://icehockey.kz/
***June 1, 2013*** For the last year or so, I have been doing some work under the radar with Joe Drexler and Be The Game (BTG). Joe's cause is simple: make a positive impact in children's lives, from the inside out, through the power of sport and education. When Joe approached me last summer, I thought this was an ideal situation for me to get involved in. I wish that I had someone that could have offered me these assets when I was going through a tough time. Fortunately enough for me, Joe asked me to be an ambassador of his BTG movement. Joe and I have taked at great lengths over the last year, and he has been able to see a side of me that not many people do. I believe that he understands I have a lot of experience in what he is trying to offer these children. I have made mistakes in my life, been accountable for them and now have been continuously putting my life back together. I am proud of the person I have become, and what a better individual to help guide these underprivileged children through the trenches of life and help them become stable human beings from the inside out. I am grateful to be a part of the BTG team and look forward to helping as many children as possible. http://bethegame.ca/go-m-a-d-365
Today, September 29, 2012 I signed a contract with the Kramfors Alliance in the Swedish Division 1 league. I am returning to Sweden for another season after my two applications for a UK work visa have been denied. Also, my coach form last season, Janne Huokko, will be coaching me again this season. I am extremely excited to be able to return back to Sweden where my professional career was resurrected and have another opportunity to share my experience with a younger team. I will be travelling to Sweden on Monday and arriving sometime on Tuesday. I look forward to playing Friday in the teams next game. I would like to thank my agent, Mike Bernier, for arranging this scenario on such short notice. It has been an extremely hectic last couple of months, but I am finally getting an opportunity to play hockey again this season. I look forward to updating all of you in the near future.
***UPDATE*** Since the Blaze have released a statement regarding my visa application, I think it is only fair to let the fans and public know the details of what happened. I received an email from the UKBA a couple of days ago informing me that I have been rejected of my visa for the second time. In their email, the UKBA said that a detailed letter would be sent to me regarding the reason for my denial along with my passport and other documents. I informed the Blaze and our players about the decision. After speaking with Coach Thompson, we felt it best to hold off on releasing the information regarding the decision until we had ALL necessary documents in our possession detailing the reason behind the denial. That way, we could properly informa the Coventry faithful on our plan of attack and whether or not we would be able to appeal the decision. I took it upon myself to inform a Coventry Blaze season ticket holder, Pete McCue, about the decision the UKBA handed down. My reason for this was simple: Pete McCue, as you all know, started an online petition trying to win me favor in the UK and sway the UKBA's minds regarding my decision. Pete also spoke to members of the local Coventry media expressing his views and thoughts about how I should be permitted into the country. Moreover, Pete spoke to local MP's about my case trying to gain some political support on my behalf. I knew about all of this as Pete would update me regularly. I was very much appreciative of everything that he did for me, as anyone in my position would have been. Therefore, when I was denied, I did not want Pete to be running around Coventry trying to gain me support when my visa had already been denied. I was trying to save Pete time and effort by informing him of my decision. However, with trying to do the right thing came a blindside out of nowhere. I was accused of blocking Pete from twitter and unfollowing him as well. There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to block or unfollow Pete after everything he did for me. That would be ludicrous on my part. If I had blocked or unfollowed Pete then why did I still follow and not block all of my other UK followers? I tried to illustrate the truth behind my statement with submitting two photos on twitter last night. I hope that the fans in Coventry and the great people of the UK can see the truth that I am trying to portray. In the end, the people that get hurt are you - the fans. A season ticket holder had NO right to leak information that was sensitive like that no matter what the circumstances were. That information was up to the Blaze and/or myself to release. I will take the responsibility for trusting someone that I should not have and offer my apologies to anyone that feels that they have been wronged in this process. Once again, like I said in my tweet last night, as soon as I have ALL information/reasoning regarding a decision from the UKBA, it will be announced. I will pass along all information to the Blaze and we will decide the course of action that should be taken next. Thanks again for all of your support and my deepest apologies for anyone that feels taking advantage of.
***UPDATE*** Yesterday, September 14, the UK Border Agency got back to me regarding my entry visa. I was told that my case is an exceptional one that needs a little more time to make an informative decision. They told me that they would make a decision as expeditiously as possible. I am taking this as a good sign. If the UKBA wanted to deny my second application then they easily could have done that already. Hopefully, the powers that be are looking into my case with a little more sympathy and recognizing the changes for the good I have made over the last nine years of my life. I would anticipate a decision coming early next week. Keep your fingers crossed.
Today, August 29, I reapplied for my UK entry visa. I had my biometrics appointment this afternoon and couriered my application to the UK Border Agency immediately after. My documents should be arriving in New York tomorrow morning and I should be hearing back from the UKBA within the next week. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that my application gets viewed in a little bit more of a sympathetic light. There is nothing more that I can do. It is out of my control and the decision rests solely in the hands of the UKBA. Let's try to respect whatever decision they come to.
Last month, I signed a one-year contract with the Coventry Blaze of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL). I will be looking forward to stepping on UK soil for the first time in late August. We have put together a fiercely skilled team this year in Coventry that should be able to contend with every team in the league. I have not been more excited to start a season since my last season in the NHL. This will be my second professional season in Europe after playing in both Sweden and Austria last year. I enjoyed success in both countries last year. Only thing standing in my way is the UK border agency. Fingers crossed that there are no issues with my entry visa.

The Hoops needed substitute Jiri Jarosik to rescue a point on a fraught afternoon against managerless Hibernian at Parkhead.
Strachan's men were shocked in the 20th minute when Hibs defender David Murphy, ironically a Parkhead target, crashed a shot from the edge of the box past Mark Brown and in off the crossbar.
Jarosik's leveller 12 minutes from time moved Celtic three points clear at the top of the table but Rangers have three games in hand, starting with a trip to Aberdeen on Sunday.
He said: "It was a great start to the game for the first 20 minutes then they go up the park and score. It was a good finish by the lad but we were a bit shocked, thinking how did that happen?
"In terms of character both teams were equal but in terms of chances we were out of sight. We won that by a long way but we couldn't finish off the moves.
"Our problem right now is letting in goals. I'm concerned about that.
"If we sort that out then I'm sure we will score goals. If you want to be top of the league you have to defend better than we are doing. If you are playing against us you will say 'there is a chance of scoring against them'.
"It puts a lot of pressure on our lads up front to know that you must score two or three goals to win the game. And when you are not scoring, it puts a lot of pressure on the defenders not to let a goal in.
"I need to find out a formation from what we've got or do something else."
Hibs assistant boss Tommy Craig, in temporary charge following the surprise resignation of John Collins this week, was rather coy when asked if he would be interested in the Easter Road hotseat full time.
Craig said: "The chairman spoke to me and asked me to take the team over the festive period. Full stop.
"If the job ever came up it would be discourteous of me not to speak to anyone.
"My CV is in, it's 14 months long. They know me and they know what I can do."

I don't know anything about either Alex.... I have just come back from Ireland and my aunt[Dad's sister] recalled visiting Georgina in Thames Street which I understand was also her parent's house. They may know a bit more than I can tell you but have not been keeping up with that part of our family. I will ask for you. I also visited the Lough Neagh / Annaloiste area which is where Georgina's father came from.
