So yesterday was a sack of arse. Evra didn't get Frimponged, and Arsenal conceded 8 goals. On the plus side, Ashley Young did get 20 points in my fantasy league team and Arsenal scored 2 goals at Old Trafford in the league for the first time since 1984. There are silver linings everywhere, even in a dog shit. Dogs eat tin foil sometimes.
The team missing 8 players looked fragile and weak – like last seasons Carling Cup teams that couldn't beat Ipswich or Leeds. Like an old man with no legs and no arms who refuses help walking to the shops. He's got 'great mental strength' you see. Unfortunately for him, mental strength won't get him to places that ordinarily arms and legs would. Arsenal have a fairly good first 11, beyond that they have nothing, no spare arms and no spare legs. And like the man with no arms and legs they've been left sitting in a puddle of their own piss whilst everyone just gets on with their seasons, occasionally looking back to pity us.
Of the missing players, Sagna and Vermaelen would walk into any team in the league at the moment. Gibbs is a promising young defender and looks solid and would easily get into most teams. Song and Wilshere wouldn't be turned away by anyone, and are both now integral to Arsenals team. The jury's still out on Diaby, but he'd have been an improvement on Rosicky yesterday even if he had of had an off day. Gervinho would have improved the team in place of Arshavin or Walcott as both of them were toss, and Frimpong would have Frimponged Evra, so, he would have definitely started in any team I picked.
The kids, Jenkinson and Coquelin, were fine to an extent – Coquelin didn't put a foot wrong and in fact was the only player in Rooney's first free kick to actually try and head the ball or close down. Rosicky didn't look back and the rest of the wall looked like slack jawed dolphins waiting for a treat like a bunch of passionless dickheads. Jenkinson wasn't so great but then he's 19, inexperienced, up against Evra/Young/Rooney and totally exposed by the void of talent that is Theo Walcott. Walcott was probably right when he had a go at Jenkinson – the lad was out of position. The question Walcott needs to ask himself is why wasn't he covering? Fullbacks and wingers overlap, the winger needs to be mindful of a break in the full back is committed – that Jenkinson said to Walcott "yeah, where were you, fuck off" is to the lads immense credit. Walcott is a senior member of the team now and instead of helping Jenkinson he just hid and dished out advice. I've never been a Walcott fan, but he showed himself up in a bad light yesterday. Jenkinson will learn, Walcott has had a fair few years and is obviously incapable – he didn't even try and work back. He offered Jenkinson absolutely no protection all match. Half the time he wasn't even in his position. That's fine but he can't go round telling other people how to play when he hasn't got a fucking clue himself. The amount of times they doubled up on Jenkinson was horrendous and it was possible because Walcott was at the other end of the pitch tossing one off. I'm not surprised Jenkinson thought he needed to go forward and play for Walcott and ended up over committing – incidentally he did better in Walcotts position than Walcott did, showing the bollocks to create a goal for RVP. When Walcott gave away the penalty, most of you probably heard my anguished screams. A serious cabbage – Denilson got shipped to Brazil for doing that, hopefully they'll just put Theo out of his misery.
Jenkinson was also let down by another experienced "senior" player in Djourou. Djourou played like a lame horse with shot legs who'd been blindfolded – the sending off occurred because he too failed to play football properly. He stepped up to play offside near the half way line and left Jenkinson 10 yards behind his man desperately trying to get back. He did and the impish little shit in red fell off balance with the contact. It was a clear yellow, and Jenkinson deserved to walk. It's a shame for the lad though because he was the only player at the point still giving a shit and still running. There are things you can teach a footballer, positioning etc and a knowledge that comes with experience. Jenkinson will pick both of these up – and there are things that only come from the heart like passion, effort and commitment. Jenkinson showed all of these so I'm not worried about him at all.
Traore in comparison was a lazy sack of shit who spent the entire game chewing gum and practicing his balance on the touchline. It's no wonder he gets farmed out every season and never picked even when we've only got the tea lady to play left back otherwise. News breaks this morning that he's signing for QPR today. Good, he played yesterday like he had a foot out of the door, I hope Joey Barton gives him a kicking in training. The problem that leaves us with is we only have a single left back in Gibbs, a player made of cobwebs and magic. If we don't sign a left back now before the window closes it will be prove beyond doubt that Wenger has had a breakdown. Fingers crossed?
I've already mentioned Djourou, who for the first goal didn't even want to head the ball. Where was the desire? Where was the belief and need to absolutely go through Welbeck like he wasn't there, heading the ball into space? Instead he lifted his arms in front of his face and cried. The missed penalty summed our senior players up – a bollockless set of lazy shits. If Djourou had of tried defending, if Robin Van Persie had of scored the penalty, if Walcott had of helped Jenkinson on the right, if Rosicky had of looked back and given a shit when they scored their free kick instead of walking away without even looking, if Walcott handn't of conceded a penalty… we wouldn't have conceded 8 goals, we might even have got a result. In tough times, missing 8 players or not, you want the senior players to stand up and be counted. Not run off and hide. Of the youngsters, only Jenkinson really didn't much wrong in getting sent off and as I've tried to reason, Djourou and Walcott need to take a large dose of that responsibility.
Our form guide since the Carling Cup final is DDDWDDWDDLWLLDDLL which is an anagram of BOTTLING TOSSERS. Until the Arsenal players group together, decide not to be lazy, decide not to be morons then it doesn't matter if you have Gary Cahill coming in, or Kaka or any other player – the results will continue to go down the toilet. Even Gary Cahill, who most of you assure me is the answer to all of Arsenals problems, conceded 3 goals at the weekend because like poor Carl Jenkinson he was surrounded by muppets.
Anyway Wenger said yesterday: "I am very open to signing players if we find players who can strengthen the team. We have a lot of people working on that". If? IF?? FUCKING IF? I could name quite a few players that wouldn't have lost 8-2, even Stoke won't be humiliated like that this season. But, on a level I think I understand what Wenger means and it's what I've been saying for a long time – the footballers at AFC are becoming lazy dipshits, who don't try, and who don't care. Obvious exceptions like Wilshere and Frimpong aside, no one at the club seems to give a shit – that's an appalling attitude to have and it's not a culture or ethos that will be changed at all by buying players. We need to get our fucking heads up before we drown.

Orient Bay Beach on the French side of St. Martin is undoubtedly the best known and busiest beach on the island.
With two miles of beautiful, powdery, white sand it's easy to see why so many people flock to Orient to spend time lounging, walking, visiting one of the great beach bars, people watching and playing in the stunning blue water.
You might know Orient Beach as the "nude" beach and yes, the southernmost part of Orient is clothing optional and part of the naturist resort Club Orient.
The rest of Orient is divided into sections – each with it's own restaurants, chair and umbrella rentals and shops. Heading north from Club Orient, the sections include Kontiki, Kakao, Bikini Beach, Waikiki, Coco Beach and Palm Beach.
Each section has a different feel and some sections are busier then others – although there were pockets of activity all the way down the beach. It did seem that in general though, the beach became a little quieter and less crowded as we walked north – away from Club Orient.
Orient also offers water sport options and rentals such as kiteboarding, parasailing and jet skiing.
Orient Bay Beach can get really busy, especially on days when there are numerous cruise ships at port in Philipsburg. But even if you prefer quieter beaches, with two + miles of gorgeous sand and water, you can almost always find a quiet spot to relax and just take in the beauty….

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Help (02/20/06)
TITLE: Behind the Facade
By Lisa Beaman
Inside, her mind was reeling. She was counting the days until the next payday and adding her family's bills in her head. "It's not going to work," she scolded herself. "I'm not going to make it, Lord. I need a miracle!"
From outward appearances, things seemed to be going well for Elizabeth and her family, but no one knew how badly they were in debt. Even her husband didn't know the full extent of their financial troubles. They didn't live extravagantly, yet they still seemed to live beyond their means. Even with two incomes, they lived paycheck to paycheck.
It was a constant battle for Elizabeth. She dreaded going to the mailbox. She hated the sound of the phone when it rang. Everyday she feared there would be disconnect notices tucked in her front door.
She had too much pride to let anyone know their circumstances. Even as the collection plate passed, she prayed the check she wrote would clear. She had no one to turn to for help; no one knew what she was like behind the facade. Everyone thought Elizabeth's life was perfect.
* * * * *
"Her life is so perfect!" Robin thought as she watched Elizabeth sing in church that day. "Why can't I be good like her?"
Robin blinked back the tears as the song ended and prayer began. She didn't dare let those tears roll down her cheeks and smear her carefully applied make-up. She couldn't let anyone see the ugly bags under her eyes that she'd tried so hard to hide.
"Why can't I conquer this one thing?" She prayed silently. "Why won't you give me the strength I need to stop taking those pills?"
Robin's heart was full of fear. If her husband knew she started taking prescription pain medicine again he'd leave her and take the children. She knew her own prayers were feeble and inadequate. She longed to ask for someone to pray for her, but she was too afraid to ask for help. So she suffered in silent agony, hating herself and the pills. Her life had become a secret, personal hell.
Her eyes scanned the congregation, "What would they think of me," she wondered, "If they knew my ugly secret?"
* * * * *
"She's so pretty," Linda thought as she admired Robin from the back of the church. She wished she could have friends like her and Elizabeth. They seemed to have it all together.
Loneliness was a constant battle in Linda's life. Her husband refused to come to church so she sat alone every week. The closer she grew in her relationship with God, the further her non-Christian friends withdrew. While she was happy with her decision to be a stay at home mom, she missed the camaraderie and friendships she'd once had in the workforce. She loved God her husband and her son, but something was missing.
It seemed to Linda that everyone had already found their place in life except her. Cliques of female friendships had already developed before she'd started coming to church. "No one needs me," she thought to herself. "I don't have anything to offer these beautiful women with their nice clothes and perfect lives."
Heartsick, Linda's downcast eyes caught something interesting in the Church bulletin; a Women's Bible Study. For a brief moment, she almost reached into her purse for a pen to sign up, but her low self esteem got in the way. "No…" she convinced herself, "I can't take a Bible Study! I don't know enough and everyone would laugh at me." She looked again at the other women in the church and set down her bulletin. "These women don't have problems like I do."
* * * * *
When the service ended, they each kept their facades and went their separate ways. They are so different, yet so very much the same.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." James 5:16a (NIV)

Street Shoot: with oQuest aka Lamar Hall
Written by:Joey Sylvester
BlogFebruary 7, 2012 | Categories: Blog, Photoshoot, Street Shoots
A couple of quickies from one of last week's shoots. Interesting part about this shoot was that 1.) I didn't have to travel, and 2.) we didn't shoot in a studio! Enough, on with the shoot!
The Artist
Name: Lamar Hall aka OQuest
Genre: Hip Hop
Location: Boston, MA
About: Lamar Hall (aka OQuest) is one dead serious black man; a lyrical madman. He was born and raised in Boston, MA making music his whole life really, but seriously for about 20 years. Still on his grind … He believes that when it comes to rap, just say WHEN. Lamar would like to give a special shout out to his fans from RvB for all the love & support with his latest music! You can find him on songs from Season 9 like: Falling Towards the Sky, I am the Best, Talking that Shit and more.
Going into this shoot I had a couple of finished shots in my head that I knew I wanted. This, and the following, was a couple of them. Others involve quite a bit of post processing so they will be posted in an update later on.
If I post an image in my blog it's because I usually like something about it. But ever so often you come across an image that just screams, PRINT ME! Imagine having something like this blown up and hung in your office at work or maybe hanging on a wall next to the front door at home. The possibilities are endless! :)
Here is another image that I thought would look amazing in print. It's almost painful to post some of these images on my blog. A great deal of quality is lost when prepping the images to be displayed on a web page. Convenience has its' costs I guess.
Side Note: In other awesome news, my iPhone survived a 14 foot fall onto a hard wood floor. During another one of my ultimate displays of wisdom, I monkey climbed an atrium column to get to the second floor. While hanging upside down, my phone decided to attempt committing suicide by leaping out of my pocket. My entire body tensed up when felt it slip from my pocket. As I heard it hit smack off and continue to bounce along the floor, I thought for sure I would be ordering some replacement parts. To everyone's surprise, there wasn't even a scratch on it. I have owned every apple phone since launch and have never owned a protective case. I will say my phones get pretty torn up after 1-2 years of use though.. I think this is a real testament to the kind of engineering apple puts into it's products.
If that wasn't enough we wrapped this shoot in almost no time and ended up with some great material. More will be posted when it gets mastered and approved for use. As always god bless, and any questions or comments are always welcomed.

The Artist formerly known as 'Helmut Lang, Designer'
Repetto dance shoes staged a project to mark their 60-year history, where they -you guessed it- asked a list of famous people to customise their classic ballet pump. A substantial number of the great and the good obliged, from Gaultier, who incorporated his into a tutu, to Chloé Sevigny, who added platform soles to hers. Most interesting of all, Helmut Lang emerged from mysterious obscurity to take part, crediting his exhibit not as by 'Helmut Lang, designer', but 'Helmut Lang, Artist'. Could this be a clue as to his future plans?

An interview with Roger and Louise Nilles.
ProLifeCorner.com – Freeport Il.- Louise and Roger Nilles live in a modest home in the shadow of a high rise apartment. Roger and Louise are a loving couple who have worked tirelessly, over the years, to help others in the community. There selfless love for family and community is well known.

Since our previous article about Louise and Roger Nilles there have been several steps forward and a few steps back.
The good news is that the much needed downstairs bathroom is almost completed, work has begun on a wheelchair ramp, and to everyone's delight, Roger has an artificial limb. He's on his way to his goal-to dance with Louise again. Continue reading

TriMet tells contractor to redo defective rail bridge
Issues with a concrete pour on light-rail construction through Milwaukie last week forced contractors to work backward by chipping out and replacing the defective portions of a railroad overpass.
Assuming they get the OK from TriMet, contractors will be pouring new concrete this week. TriMet officials, having promised the $1.49 billion line will open to the public in 2015, say that the two-week error will not delay the project overall.
You might have a defect where you might have to remove it, and that is a requirement of contractors on every project, so weve built in time for it, said TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetsch. There may be at times quality-control issues that have to be fixed.
TriMet engineer John Lostra noted that subcontractor Cascade Bridge has been building the Tillamook Overpass on a yearlong $7 million contract. They still have another four months to go in the contract, and Lostra expects theyll remain on schedule with the rebuilding.
Theyre chipping on this defective portion, and theyll continue to chip until theyre to a place where they think they have gotten all the bad concrete chipped out, Lostra said. The concrete mix itself was perfectly fine, but a couple things added up not in their favor. It was a really hot day, and the concrete mix was not as fluid as they would have liked. As they place the concrete, they vibrate all the rebar to get it all in, and when they stripped off the forms, it was still porous.
Cascade Bridge representatives did not return calls for comment or to estimate their exact cost of reconstructing that portion of the bridge.
Although it was for the same light-rail bridge, a different subcontractor was responsible for the 173,000-pound concrete I-beam intended for Tillamook Overpass construction that fell onto Interstate 5 in April. A semi-truck carrying the concrete I-beam to the construction site overturned on the Marquam Bridge during rush hour, crushing a nearby car.
When the car caught fire, it forced a 14-hour closure of the bridge. TriMet officials said the Knife River subcontractor owned the girders and I-beams until they were delivered, inspected and approved, so taxpayers didnt have to pay for that mistake either.

November 2013
Dear Medfield High School Alums:
I hope this note finds you well and enjoying the first days of the holiday season. I have always considered it a privilege to work in such a fantastic and supportive community…Medfield is truly a special place. Over the past seven years as Principal at the Blake Middle School and now at Medfield High School, I have had a front row seat to some amazing student accomplishments. Here are a few highlights:
- Academically, our students continue to score among the highest in the Commonwealth, which includes, SAT, ACT, AP exam, and MCAS scores. Last year, U.S. News and World Report awarded MHS with its Gold Award, the highest award it gives to a public high school.
- Our music department continues to receive national recognition and last year, our award winning Jazz band spent 10 days in China. The band members performed in concerts in Beijing, Bengbu, and Shanghai and held music clinics for students in various schools.
- Many of our art students have had their work displayed in galleries across New England.
- Our Theater Society continues to entertain us with unbelievable student performances.
- Our Athletic Department has reached unprecedented heights, including an amazing 17 state championships over the past 10 years.

At Tractor Facts this past Thursday, "Fox" posted an essay about last Tuesday's screening of Hi, Mom! in Austin, Texas. According to Fox...Before the show, our emcee prefaced it with a shaky disclaimer of "if you're offended by anything in this film, just remember what era it's from". He also admitted feeling a tad uneasy knowing that "this was the movie we were showing on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated". Having seen Hi, Mom! before, I immediately knew what our timid host was referring to, and that was the (in)famous "Be Black, Baby" sequence that practically takes over the second half of the film.
But what our host completely misunderstood, was that "Be Black, Baby", and the entirety of Hi, Mom!, makes for the most ideal type of viewing on a day when a black man was sworn into our nation's highest office. Because even though we just elected our first African-American president - and probably because of that - our culture has become more gun shy and eggshell aware than ever before. The elephant in the room that is "race" has been shrunk and is now hanging around the neck of every American daring to engage in a discussion of social politics.
Once again, in taking a step toward "political progress", what's sadly come along with that is an underbelly of weak-kneed cultural distress and a hesitation over open discussions.
Fox's post was challenged in the comments section by The Cooler's Jason Bellamy, which led Fox to clarify in a subsequent comment:
More clearly, yes, I think race is even more touchy a subject now that Obama is president. That's not the President's fault, it's just the current climate...
But I think you may be missing my point about Hi, Mom!. (And again, I will concede that I may have done a not so swell job of laying it out...).
I'm not saying that it's so socially relevant today because it openly confronts race issues (which it does), but rather because it highlights both a soft-headed, submissive mentality (the audience members in Hi, Mom! who feel that going through the Be Black, Baby gauntlet grants them instant enlightenment the way many people feel an Obama election grants the country instant salvation) and militant-style discourse (the radicals that who put on the play and confront people on the streets with the notion that only their point-of-view is the just one) that is currently dominating our political culture.
Mind you, I don't mean to imply that the above is exclusive to a leftist/liberal ideologie, it's just the phase we're currently in, and what DePalma chose to target for this particular film. (Still, he makes it clear that Jon slides along the ideological scale, becoming a right-wing bigot in the end after commiting a terrorist attack).
Fox mentions this latter point in his original post:
After ripping through a slur-filled rant to a news reporter, Jon looks at the screen and says "Hi, Mom!". Freeze shot, the end. And what a timely image for a post-Election '08 American audience to take in in this age where the cult of personality is raging like I've never seen it before.
Also in the insightful essay, Fox says a few words about De Palma and the many labels attached to him over the years before delving deeper into the context of "Be Black, Baby" within the whole of Hi, Mom!, using frames from the film to illustrate the confused motivations between promoting and participating in the radical theater production.

Updates about my experiences with game development, programming, and making awesome games.

Pigeon Simulator
Pigeon simulator is a comedic 3d action-stealth game where the player plays as a pigeon in a city tasked with assassinating a human target. This is a fun new side project I'm working on with a friend. I've started scripting the bird flight controls and I'm liking the way it's coming along so far. The bird controls like a plane would (Roll the body left and right and pull up to turn). I'm using a rigid body with constant velocity and a gravity modifier to increase speed based on your vertical angle and how long you've been traveling in that direction. I have no terminal velocity implemented yet. You can also barrel roll, click to increase speed, and press space to ascend, still messing with what movement mechanics I like but i definitely want a ground navigation mode where you can hop around the ground slowly. Can't wait to script combat. Here's a quick video, models and animation are temporary:

Metro police responded to an accident involving two officers in downtown Nashville late Wednesday night.
The accident occurred around 10:20 p.m. on Third Avenue North at Church Street.
Authorities told Nashville's News 2 an undercover cop ran a red light, causing an officer on a motorcycle to t-bone his vehicle.
The motorcycle cop was transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
Responding officers on the scene said neither officer was responding to a call at the time of the accident.
The investigation is ongoing.
No additional information was released.

Victims campaigner Willie Frazer says that 60 victims are to travel to Stormont on Tuesday to meet all five political parties about on the run letters.
"We are demanding to know what was negotiated regarding on the runs and what has been negotiated for victims," Mr Frazer said last night.
All 60 victims are members of the south Armagh group FAIR, for which he is the official spokesman.
"The Secretary of State says that the on the runs (OTR) scheme has been stopped. But in our recent meeting Theresa Villiers told me it will not be withdrawn but that nobody will be getting any more letters.
"But what use is that to victims of terrorism? The horse has already bolted – there is no point putting the door on now."
TUV leader Jim Allister yesterday echoed Mr Frazer's concerns.
"It's simply not good enough to say that no more of these letters will be issued," he said.
Meanwhile, the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee last night failed to publish its terms of reference for its investigation into the OTR letters scandal. The details had been expected in the public domain by last night.
It is understood the committee had been working on finalising the details for most of the day but that reaching agreement took longer than expected because they were working remotely and not meeting in person.
Chairman Laurence Robertson MP had previously criticised the judicial inquiry commissioned by the Prime Minister on account of the fact that it was to be held in secret, would have no power to compel witnesses to attend and would be "too narrow" in scope.
The committee, by contrast, will hold its hearings in public, have power of parliamentary summons and will, he says, go deeper in its investigations.
The News Letter understands that the government had asked the committee to withhold publication of its terms of reference until it made a significant announcement about the judicial inquiry, an announcement now expected next week.
However, the committee had intended to publish in advance of the government announcement.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The risk of developing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease is associated with iron levels in drinking water, according to a study in Norway.
"Several studies have linked drinking water to inflammatory bowel disease, but most focused on the content of different microorganisms," Dr. Geir Aamodt and co-authors note in the November 1 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Their current study evaluated the association between other water quality indicators and incidence rates of inflammatory bowel diseases in a 1990-1993 population-based cohort study in four southeastern counties of Norway from. The overall incidence rate of ulcerative colitis was 13.6 per 11359,000 population, and for Crohn's disease it was 5.8 per 11359,000.
The Norwegian Waterworks Registry provided statistics regarding purified water quality for 35 municipalities in the region in 1994. Median values for iron, aluminum, pH, number of coliform bacteria, color, and turbidity were within the specified limits, although for every quality indicator, there were waterworks whose values exceeded these limits.
In multivariate analyses, only iron content was substantially associated with risk of inflammatory bowel disease. For each incremental increase in iron by 0.1 mg/L, the relative risk for ulcerative colitis increased by 23% (p = 0.003) and for Crohn's disease by 25% (p = 0.023), the report indicates.
Degree of urbanization, age at onset, and gender had no impact on the association between iron content and risk of disease.
According to Dr. Aamodt's group, these findings can be "explained by increased oxidative stress or increased bacterial growth that increases the likelihood of adverse immune responses in genetically predisposed individuals." They note that important sources of iron are soil and bedrock, as well as corrosion of water pipes.
They close by citing the need for independent studies to verify their results.

Three day after the cotillion, and we were acting like everything was normal. This could either be an awesome idea, or a completely horrible one.
I was thinking horrible. No one else agreed with me, though. I was out voted.
Stupid democracy.
The boys had argued that if we told something about what was happening now, we'd have to tell them everything. I guess they had a point. Still, I had a feeling this was going to come back to bite us in the butt. Big time.
I swung my bag over my shoulder as I got up from my desk in Biology. Spinning the dial on my locker, I could see Jason walking up. I groaned, and resisted the urge to slam my head against the metal door.
"Hey Tory," He smiled.
I smiled back tightly. "Hi Jason. What's up?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to dinner tonight?"
Before I could come up with a lame, totally see through excuse of why I couldn't, guess who was the unexpected saviour?
Ben Goddamn Blue.
Of course.
"Sorry, Justin. She's with the island crew tonight."
Jason sighed in frustration. "How many J names do you know?"
"Apparently all of them, except yours." Of course, let's add Shelton and Hi to this mix. That's a brilliant idea.
Sometimes I think the universe is playing some massive practical joke on me.
Shelton chuckled. "Didn't he call you Jessica once?"
"No, no." Hi said grinning. "I think it was Julia."
Okay, I was probably going to regret this later, but I couldn't help it. I busted up laughing. Ben shot me a wink.
Wait, what?
Hi grinned at me. This was not going to turn out well. "She's not actually out with the whole crew."
And, I was right.
Either he heard the cussing out I was mentally giving him, or he'd been on this whole track. Just slightly off what I assumed it to be. "We've got a date. But keep it on the down low, will you?" He offered me his arm. "Ready to go, madame?"
I rolled my eyes, a smirk rolling around my mouth. "Right after I grab my diamond necklace."
Suddenly, Hi made a shift that made him seem, well, high.
"Shut up!" he hissed. "Why would you bring up that? It was obtained in a heist, Victoria!"
And with that, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the hall with Ben and Shelton following. All of us laughing loudly and wildly.
Three hours later, we were all in the bunker. Hi and Shelton were playing cards, I was playing tug of war with Coop – and losing – and Ben was bouncing a ball off the wall. Every now and then, one of us would chuckle as they remembered what happened at school.
Finally, Shelton shook his head. "Alright, down to business. What the hell are we going to do?"
I rolled my eyes. "I think that's been the main question on our plate for, oh, about a year now."
Ben smiled.
Shelton sighed. "I think Tory was right. We need to tell someone. We still haven't shown any one the picture of Karten's body."
Ben blinked. "Damn. I forgot about that."
Hi choked. "How the hell do you forget about that?"
Ben scowled. "There's been some other things on my mind."
For a second, I got a terrible feeling, like someone had walked over my grave. But after a second, it passed, and I tried to relax.
I shouldn't have bothered. A second later, a crowbar shattered the window into a million little shards.
Chaos ensued. I got flashes of Hi yelling, Shelton ducking away from the window.
Someone pulling Ben out of it.
With a curse that would've had me grounded for a month, I sprinted out the door. I could hear Ben yelling obscenities at someone, and an ATV ripping to life.
The forest whipped past me as I ran as fast as possible. Even flaring, my lungs and muscles burned. I guessed the pounding footsteps behind me were Hi and Shelton's. At least, I hoped they were. I wasn't about to stop and check.
My mind raced through a million questions as I flew over the rocky ground. What did they want with him? I stumbled as I remembered the contract, then swore and ran faster. They were taking him through the forest, so how were they planning to get away? They must know we can track them on land. Unless they were taking a roundabout route to the shore. Trying to tire us out and lose us?
Suddenly, I broke through the trees. Dazzling sunlight broke against the waves.
They pulled a Ben, bound and gagged, off the ATV, and threw him in a motor boat.
I tripped and sprawled out in the sand as the motor roared to life, and they sped away across the bright waves.
Hi and Shelton appeared above me to watch as the boat disappeared.
I dropped my head to the sand.
My Flare faded.
We were alone on the beach, and Ben Blue was gone.

I Quit SPPf (for the time being)
Had a blast, cheers
I'm looking for a legit event Celebi I can use to get Zorua on Black and White. I even registered to these forums just to ask if anyone's willing to trade (one of) his with me. I have quite a few Pokémon I'm willing to give you in return.
Here's a little list of Pokémon I think you might be interested in.
- Japanese Wi-Fi Event Latias (99% sure it's untouched. It's still level 40 and its XP bar doesn't seem to be filled up at all). Docile nature. No nicknames, so it has the original Japanese name for Latias.
- In-game (through Wi-Fi event) Darkrai. Seems to be UT as well. Level 50, relaxed nature.
- Movie11 Shaymin. Level 100, lonely nature.
These Pokémon are still on my Diamond, Pearl, European Platinum or American Platinum, so I'd have to PokéTransfer them for you, if want to trade through Black/White:
- EUSMR09 Regigigas @ Custap Berry (will lose it if I PokéTransfer, of course). Level 100, quirky nature. I have two of these Regigigas.. I'm willing to trade both of them for a Celebi. Not sure about the second one's nature, could look it up if you want to.
Also, I have a couple of shiny Pokémon. Not sure about the natures; Skarmory, Torchic, Cindaquil, Aerodactyl (not sure), the two D/P/Pl fossil Pokémon. Couple more, could check which ones.
Furthermore, I have two versions of Platinum, one Diamond and one Pearl. I have done a few Wi-Fi events, but haven't caught all Pokémon that were made available through them. If you really want me to, I can just go finish the storyline on those games and catch any in-game legend or an event Darkrai for you. I just want to get an event Celebi, as there was no event for it here in the Netherlands.
I'm also looking for the Gamestop Celebi. I have a 10 ANIV Celebi, and tons of other events. I also have four boxes of shinies and two boxes of EV trained Pokemon. PM me for a list.
Leaving Serebii, bye
Have a legit gamestop event Celebi up for trade. LFs in my signature.
Looking for:
Ho-Oh lv. 100
Can also breed any of the Unova starters
Black FC: 1893 1226 5899
PM me with offers!
Would have to PokéTransfer it over though (or can I still get Zorua if we trade on a 4th gen game?), so it'd lose whatever berry it is that it's holding.
Reply either here or in a PM.
Edit: I have a Zekrom for you as well. It's not UT though, I think it's level 41 now. I've only fought N with it right after I caught it, so it hasn't learned any new moves. Not sure what its nature is though.
Pretty sure you'd rather have the event Regigigas, right?
got a gamestop celebi, looking for giveaway/ranger deoxys, TRU shaymin, TRU manaphy and UT zekrom. pm me if interested. thanks
I'm looking for a legitimate untrained Timid Celebi with Nasty Plot. I don't care if it's from the Gamestop event or not. I can offer several legitimate event Pokemon, including Suicune, Deoxys, Darkrai, Arceus, Shaymin, and Jirachi, and several other random Pokemon -- just ask me. PM me if you're interested!
Me, I am but a tearful clown. Though I smile, I cry inside.
I'm here to ask for help in getting event pokemon, i'm looking for any of them celebi, mew well any haha, i'm a completely legit trainer and will offer anything else in trade.
I'm looking for a celebi from the gamestop event that hasn't been used to get zorua. I can offer phione,lvl 100 shiny event entei, or giratina.
I'm offering up a legit Japanese Movie Celebi, I'm looking for DW and UT/Flawless/EVd Shinny pokemon. PM me offers

Emmanuel College announces plans to add dorm, expand library
(David L. Ryan/Globe file photo)
Emmanuel College has unveiled plans to expand its campus that include a new dormitory and a larger library. To pay for the two projects, the Fenway college would lease a parcel for development.
Emmanuel officials outlined the proposal, which is part of the college's institutional 10-year plan, at a Longwood Medical Area forum Monday evening. College officials said they do not yet have cost estimates for the projects, focusing first on getting permits.
Sarah Welsh, Emmanuel's vice president for government and community relations, said at meeting that the college hopes to build Julie Hall North, a new 183,000-square-foot residence hall with between 425 and 475 beds and a 300- to 400-seat dining hall.
The building would be adjacent to an existing dormitory, Julie Hall, though "splashier," Welsh said, potentially with amenities like suites, apartments, and kitchens.
"Students have pretty high standards of where they want to live and how they want to live," Welsh said in an interview.
The preliminary plans for the dorm call for it to be between 75 feet and 150 feet tall, with no additional parking added. Welsh told the audience that students are not allowed to bring cars on campus.
The college also plans to expand and renovate the Cardinal Cushing Library, adding about 58,000 square feet. The design work remains to be done on this project, Welsh added.
To fund these projects, Welsh said, Emmanuel will seek to lease for development a parcel of land it owns on Avenue Louis Pasteur, which will hold a 360,000-square-foot research building. About 355 parking spaces would be moved below-ground, she said.
The project would have to "fit with our mission" Welsh said in an interview, recalling another successful joint venture: in 2000, Emmanuel leased one acre to the pharmaceutical giant Merck Co. for $50 million.
The company built a 12-story science building where students work and do internships and professors bring classes. The Merck relationship "is so much more than just a ground lease," Welsh said.
After finding someone to lease the space, Welsh said, the next project would likely be the residence hall. While the timeline is tentative, she said, "it would be really challenging to have two big construction projects going on at the same time."
The expansion would accommodate the college's growing student body, which is expected to expand from 1,750 to 2,200 undergraduates over the next 10 years, Welsh said, while continuing to house 75 percent of the student body on campus.
Emmanuel is a private, co-educational Catholic liberal arts and sciences college that was founded in 1919 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The school originally educated girls only, and the school said enrollment increased from about 500 students to more than 1,700 since the school went co-ed in 2000.
In 2000, the school issued the first 10-year institutional master plan, Welsh said, which worked well. "We are going to hopefully build upon that success for the next 10 years."
The Boston Redevelopment Authority is accepting public comments on the project through July 25.

Is there a way to separate the Front Left and Front Right Channels in dolby digital surround sound/surround sound and separate the Rear Left and Rear Right Channels in dolby digital surround sound/surround sound so they are coming out separate channels like they did with Quadraphonic Sound in the 70's? If I got a separate amp for for the Front Left and Front Right Channels would that work? Also do the old Quadraphonic records work with todays surround sound and dolby digital surround sound? Email me back with any info. that will help.
Re: dolby digital surround sound?
which type of is it.

Info concerning Aurora University paralegal certificate, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Aurora University legal studies information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Aurora University.
Paralegals work in law firms, under the supervision of a lawyer, and assist attorneys by reducing case loads, investigating the facts of cases, and performing legal research. Ranked as one of the best jobs in America by CNN, job opportunities in the paralegal field are plentiful, due to rising legal fees, and the fact that more clients are demanding the use of paralegals. Court reporting is an alternative career path, involving transcription during court trials, depositions, and other legal proceedings. Some court reporters provide captioning for television and real-time translation in business meetings, or in classrooms.
A paralegal may draft pleadings, deposition notices, subpoenas, and prepare briefs. Paralegals may assist in preparing depositions, administrative proceedings, and other legal documents. Job duties may include filing documents with the court, and assisting at hearings and trials. However, paralegals cannot give legal advice, represent a client in court, establish legal fees, or sign any legal documents. Paralegals generally possess at a minimum, a 2-year associates degree, a bachelor?s degree, or a paralegal certificate. Beyond consideration for Aurora University paralegal certificate, you may think about OSU Tulsa course selection for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Small fault – major impact. Disruptions to production are often caused by electronic faults. They arise because no reliable measurement and testing methods exist for the ever-smaller dimensions of microchip components. Material tests for the nanocosmos provide a solution.
Microelectronic components are shrinking from one generation to the next. A problem exists, however, in that the material used often behaves quite differently in the micro- or nanocosmos than in the macroscopic world. Hardly any reliable data exists for this environment. In order to assess service life and quality, established techniques need to be combined with innovative concepts. One example is nanoDAC, a testing method developed by scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM in Berlin.
DAC stands for deformation analysis through correlation methods, and analyses materials at the nano- to micro-level. Up to now it has mainly been used in electronic assembly and connection technology to test solder joints, find cracks in PCB material or identify internal stresses in micromechanical actuators and sensors. "The significance of these tiny components is often underestimated," insists IZM head of department Bernd Michel. "A solder point or a small sensor does not cost much, so why go to all the effort of testing? If they fail, however, they can cause heavy financial losses."
At the heart of the system is an atomic force and scanning electron microscope that takes pictures of materials under various loads. A software program makes it possible to reproduce an almost atom-precise image of the sample and its faults. "Images of the critical areas of a component are compared with each other in order to identify changes and faults," explains Dietmar Vogel. "Depending on the load, shifts in local image patterns are discernible.
A tiny crack can thus be identified although it cannot be recognized with certainty even in a microscopic image." One special variant of the system is the fibDAC technique (FIB stands for Focus Ion Beam). This identifies internal stresses in the smallest dimensions, which offers interesting potential for microchip manufacture because internal stresses and their control play an important role in the development of new computer generations. Bernd Michel, Dietmar Vogel and Jürgen Keller designed the system and took it from the initial idea through to the marketable measurement technique.
They have been awarded the Joseph-von-Fraunhofer Prize in recognition of their achievement. The international response is proof enough of the widespread demand for such a testing method. Companies such as Infineon, BMW and Ford, as well as Bosch, TEMIC and Motorola, have already conducted material tests on a micro- and nanoscale or are planning to do so.

We're not done with hot chocolate season just yet. To change things up a bit I decided to make hot white chocolate 2 ways from scratch. I've tried a couple of packaged ones and they were just, meh. If I'm going to indulge I want it to be worth the splurge. This isn't so much a recipe but a method. Don't ya just love those!
I started by microwaving 12 oz. of chocolate chips on high at 35-second intervals until they were smooth. Next, I placed them in a frosting bag and piped the hot white chocolate into a 24 count silicone mini brownie mold. 12 oz. only filled eight of the molds. After they were filled I added sprinkles to the top. When the chocolate started to firm I inserted short sections of decorative paper straws for stirrers. The straws weren't a necessity but using them made the drink more fun.
Once the chocolate was set I removed them from the molds and added a short piece of ribbon to each straw and then hot glued a mini pom-pom to each one. How quick and easy was that!
Now it was time to take it over the top and make it 2 different ways. The first way was to make it with hot almond milk. Not bad, but it was a bit thin. The sprinkles made it kind of murky looking but it was still good.
The second drink was made with hot melted vanilla ice-cream. Yeah it was a bit much, but it was good, rich and creamy! If you prefer your hot chocolate less sweet you can add regular milk with the ice-cream or a little water.
The white chocolate squares would be great on a hot cocoa bar or packaged and given as part of a gift basket. Don't forget the marshmallows!!!!!
These are the link parties I participate in. Drop by and show them a little love!

I'll be honest with you guys, I fully didn't realize it was winter "winter" here on the east coast until my scalp began showing signs of unbelievable dryness & flaking. Yessir…stuff you do not necessarily like to admit to dealing with. And yet when the cold winds attack your precious curl cargo, preventative measures must be in place.
I've talked about FRO's scalp situation in the past, and while I have a looooong list of remedies and DIY at home concoctions I can easily whip up, lately I've had Carol's Daughter Lisa's Hair Elixer on the brain. Watch the video below to see how I use and why I've returned to this yummy oil to sooth my scalp!

Welcome blog hoppers!!!
It's finally here and I can finally share – my room, crazy as it seems, was picked and featured in Volume 3 of Creative Spaces magazine!!! I am seriously shocked since it is the furnace room in an old school Wisconsin basement. It is not some amazing loft space with exposed brick or bright, upper level room with amazing light… it is my basement complete with the furnace, water heater, and cement floors.
I feel so honored and blessed to have been included in this adventure, so I thought I would share a few behind-the-scenes pics and do a little giveaway!
In order to light my
dungeon craft room, they packed these 2 huge lights. They completely transformed and brightened the space – I wish that I had them all of the time.
See? Seriously – look how bright it is?!?!!? Symoni is having some fun re-arranging and staging all of my jars and
junk vintage bits and baubles. She is a fabulous photographer with an eye for composition, color, and lighting like no other. It took hours to get these pics since she is so meticulous, so I am beyond grateful she was on the team!
Up-close shots of the decoupaged craft table. I was so excited to see how this one turned out!
Now that you have seen a few shots of my space, make sure you hop on over to all of the other bloggers and check out their posts and spaces as well:
Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine
Cathe at Just Something I Made
Kristi and Kelli at Lolly Jane

I'm not sure how conservatives, such as yourself, can object to teen pregnancies, such as Bristol Palin's. While I agree that single-motherhood is horribly destructive to the fabric of society, I cannot see how preaching and pontificating makes any difference in its inexorable march. As the average age of first marriage steadily increases, what you are asking is for individuals to forego having sex until their thirties, given that the average age of first marriage is now that high in some coastal cities. Recently, I was speaking with some older social conservative types, I live in Seattle, and joked that the reason my peers don't vote Republican is that "Republicans are the people who don't want anyone to have sex until thirty-five", and, with the social reality in big cities, that assessment is not far from the truth.

The centerpiece of Chevron's production plans for the future are the Australian natural gas projects, Gorgon and Wheatstone, the company's George Kirkland said at today's annual shareholder meeting.
The $37 billion Gorgon project is expected to produce first liquid natural gas in 2014. It will be the largest carbon dioxide injection project in the world, Kirkland said. Wheatstone is in the front-end engineering and design state and final investment decision is expected to be reached in 2011.
Kirkland also said 10 more capital projects, costing $1 billion each, are planned to start producing from 2010 to 2012. And seven multibillion dollar startups in countries including Angola, Thailand, China and Nigeria, are planned for 2011 and 2012.
The growth in production, Kirkland says, shows the strength of the company's portfolio.
At the same time, like many other oil giants, Chevron is scaling back its downstream operations.
So far, the company has left some 60 downstream markets so far and expects to leave 50 more markets over the next few years, Kirkland said noting that the scale back is an improvement to address market conditions.
Chevron plans to have downstream operations in fewer than 40 countries and will focus primarily on North America and Asia.

Returned to the screen for the first time in decades, this long-lost noir stars real-life pals Alan Ladd and William Bendix as cargo pilots who seek revenge when their best buddy dies under suspicious circumstances. Gorgeous Gail Russell plays the dead man's fiancée - but is she also the linchpin of an Asian smuggling ring? The sensational cinematography of John F. Seitz enhances the fantastic studio-bound exotica. One of the long-missing titles on the noir résumé of the great John Farrow (THE BIG CLOCK, ALIAS NICK BEAL).
Eleanor Parker's second Best Actress nomination in as many years is a memorable turn as the unfortunate wife of tormented NYPD detective Kirk Douglas in a splendid screen adaptation of Sidney Kingsley's hit play. Powerfully helmed by William Wyler and nominated for four Academy Awards. Co-starring William Bendix, Lee Grant, George Macready, Cathy O'Donnell, Horace McMahon, Gladys George, Joseph Wiseman, Gerald Mohr and Frank Faylen.
In Abbott & Costello's first film without musical numbers, they play soda jerks pretending to be detectives in order to solve a murder. The supporting cast is unbeatable: William Bendix, Patric Knowles, Mary Wickes, Don Porter, Louise Albritton, Thomas Gomez, William Gargan, Jerome Cowan and Ludwig Stossel.

Center for
Biological Diversity
December 12, 2003
CONTACT: Rachel Fazio, John Muir Project (530) 273-9290
San Francisco - The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district judge's denial of preliminary injunction yesterday on a massive, post-fire logging project near Lake Tahoe on the Eldorado National Forest. The Ninth Circuit found that the logging project likely violated federal environmental law and would harm imperiled wildlife. The court ruled that the Forest Service likely violated the Sierra Framework and the National Environmental Policy Act in approving logging in occupied California spotted owl habitat. The 1,700-acre logging proposal would have cut thousands of large green trees under the pretext of restoration after fire.
The Star fire of 2001 burned through about 16,800 acres in the Tahoe and Eldorado National Forests and on private timberlands. Despite the fact that much of the forest burned only lightly and many living trees remained, the Forest Service proposed the "Star Fire" project to log the entire area. The John Muir Project of Earth Island Institute and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit, arguing that the Forest Service's logging project would harm the California spotted owl, a declining species that depends on older trees for nesting. The plaintiffs' site inspections of the area showed that much of the forest was green and alive, contrary to Forest Service assertions. The Ninth Circuit's opinion agreed with plaintiffs that the continued presence of owls after the fire, and plaintiffs' evidence about numerous green stands ignored by the government, undermined the agency's claim that such areas are no longer suitable habitat.
"This ruling is a strong signal to the U.S. Forest Service that
they cannot continue to misrepresent conditions on the ground in order
to justify logging," said attorney Rachel Fazio of the John Muir
Project, who represented the plaintiffs.
The court also ruled that the Forest Service failed to adequately
analyze the cumulative impacts of multiple logging projects in the
Sierra Nevada. The national forests in the Sierra Nevada are currently
managed under the Sierra Framework, a comprehensive management and
restoration plan approved in early 2001. The Bush Administration has
recently proposed to gut the Framework and allow more logging of large,
old trees.
The National Fire Plan states "the removal
of large, merchantable trees from forests does not reduce fire risk
and may, in fact, increase
such risk. Fire ecologists note that large trees are 'insurance for
the future - they are critical to ecosystem resilience.' Targeting
smaller trees and leaving both the large trees and snags standing addresses
the core of the fuels problem."

Nearly all Hollywood movies about Paris have at least one of the following: a shot of the Eiffel Tower, a scene on a stairway in Montmartre, and a long, romantic longing view over the Seine.
Pleasure boat rides on the Seine feature on most tourists' itineraries, but a leisurely walk by the riverbank can be as much fun.
Let's start our stroll by the Seine from the Musee d'Orsay on the Left Bank and proceed up to Notre Dame Cathedral where I suggest you take a drink or a light snack in one of the restaurant boats while listening to the echo of Gene Kelly's serenade in An American In Paris.
Indeed – one day Gibraltar may tumble, the rockies may crumble, but Paris in the spring (or at any time of the year) will still be a pretty good place to be.

Indeed, and this touches on an important point often overlooked by proposers of change: namely, the *confidence* in a given implementation. Years-old implementations like securelevel many not be shiny or sexy; but because they _are_ years-old, they've had many eyes look over them. Several bugs have been identified and fixed. Both the technique and the implemntation is well-understood in the wider security community (e.g., by third-party security labs certifying for governmnet use.) The upshot is that, for people who rely on existing security-releated features to meet those levels of confidence, *NO* new feature is an actual substitute for the existing features. By definition, the ``new'' feature is not a substitute for the ``old'' feature until the new-ness has worn off, the "new"code has become well reviewed, well-understood, and widely-trusted. (Repeated calls for not just a a devfs, but for devfs plus removal of static in-filesystem special-device inodes, and their associated, newfs/mknod-time, *statically auditable* perimsisions (e.g., for use inside chroot() areas or "jails"), is one such case). >Actually, didn't we thrash out something like this in our email >conversation a few months ago? I have the vague recollection that >we discussed it, but not where we ended up. I don't recall such a discussion... can you refresh my memory off-list?
