India's accomplished batsmen continued their destruction of Australian bowling on a sun-blessed second day in Sydney. Whereas the locals attacked with furious intent on the first day, they posed little threat on the resumption, resembling a one-lap specialist forced to undertake a second circuit.
On a sound pitch, the Australians were unable to unsettle, let alone dismiss, India's distinguished overnight pairing and the mayhem continued deep into the afternoon.
An enormous change has come over Indian batting in the past few years. Previously, strong players such as Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar and the immortal Gundappa Vishwanath stood out because they held their ground against fast bowling and scored runs around the world. Others were bewildered by green pitches and balls flying around their heads.
Sourav Ganguly's team is altogether more worldly wise and arrived with a resolute outlook and several batsmen of high calibre. Moreover, the Indians have run between wickets better than any team from the region, an indication of a changed state of mind.
Previously, Virender Sehwag, the cavalier, and Rahul Dravid, the immovable object, had led the way in a batting order that, like The Beatles, is brilliant both in its parts and as a whole. Now, Sachin Tendulkar and V. V. S. Laxman made telling contributions as they wore down an attack that was curiously constructed and lacking penetration.
Tendulkar's innings counts among the most fascinating of his career. The sight of a great player whose touch had deserted him putting his head down in an attempt to build a score gave immense satisfaction. Along the way, Tendulkar may have realised that a man does not always need to play well or even dominate an attack.
Hitherto, the Australians have been able to frustrate him into trying to drive deliveries better left alone. Now, Tendulkar has restricted himself to shots played with the full blade and close to the body. Perhaps it was a New Year's resolution.
Tendulkar pushed the score along with straight drives and sundry placements and otherwise relied on an immaculately constructed defence.
Steve Waugh's hand-picked bowlers tried bouncers, but the batsman had left his hook in Hobart and ducked under them. His courage is beyond question. Yorkers followed and were unerringly dug out.
Waugh pushed his field back, instructed his men to slow the scoring and waited for a mistake that did not come. Tendulkar did not intend to lose his wicket. He meant to score a hundred and must have felt a mixture of profound relief and delight when finally the deed was done.
Only then did Tendulkar start to expand his range, though he was still not at his most fluent. Yet he swept fine, pulled off his hip, drove on the rise and put the Australians firmly in their place. Eventually, the full range of shots appeared as, with effortless ease, the batsman placed the ball wide of mid-on.
This was a mature innings, the work of a batsman with a strong mind and a deeply rooted game. Tendulkar's second career has been launched by his third double-century.
Laxman was magnificent and showed no sign of the brittleness often detected in the brilliant. He struck some wonderful shots: flicks through mid-wicket played with a panache that contrasts with his dignified bearing, drives through cover executed with modest flourish and cuts played with a swordsman's flash of the hand.
But these strokes were merely the icing on the proverbial cake. Laxman is also a fine craftsman. Like his partner, he did not hit a ball in the air, lose patience, play across the line or make an error of judgement. More even than Tendulkar, his timing and placement were superb so that he sent the ball away through gaps with fieldsmen in hot and unavailing pursuit.
Admittedly, the outfield resembled an ice-rink, yet the sight of the ball rolling along like a sweetly hit putt reflected the mastery of the willow-wielders.
Laxman has another strength. He is a popular and unselfish partner, a quiet, thoughtful, gifted man proud of his country and aware of the needs of his team.
Unlike most sportsmen, he does not define himself only in terms of his game. Accordingly, there is nothing cramped in his batting, merely a determination to serve his side to the best of his abilities.
Laxman and Tendulkar reduced the Australians to bowling a foot outside off stump with a far-flung field. Waugh's team needs to win the match to recapture the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Failure seems inevitable. Perhaps they will not need to change the rules to accommodate this Australian side.

Fallout: How rape has affected the women I study, and my life
I was sexually abused at the age of 6. I did not know this experience was merely an initiation into sexualized violence that seems, too often, throughout the world to be as inescapable a part of becoming a woman as menstruation. My coming of age in New Jersey in the late 1980s was marked by sexual harassment in school ranging from male students using sexual comments to dismiss my intelligence to more direct physical threats such as grabbing my breasts. Such behavior was overlooked or encouraged by teachers. In young adulthood, sexual coercion in dating seemed almost normative. My experience of sexualized violence culminated in being brutally raped while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Niger, West Africa.
As a result of my rape, I developed full-blown posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I was plagued with unwanted memories, I felt numb, could not eat or sleep, and was constantly on guard. I was hopeless about the future and often wished he had killed me because living with the shame of the rape seemed unbearable. I also found out my attacker was likely HIV positive and, due to the lack of prophylactic medication for HIV in 1991and inconclusive testing, feared for almost a year that I had also contracted the disease.
However, I was lucky. Unlike the women in conflict situations from Darfur to the Holocaust, I could escape back to the United States, where I slowly rebuilt my life and created meaning from my experience by pursuing a career aimed at understanding the causes and consequences of trauma and PTSD.
II. The consequences, compounded by conflict
Sexualized violence—which includes everything from forced penetration to sexual slavery—has wide-ranging mental and physical health consequences for victims and their children across all cultures and societies. PTSD is the most common and most well-studied mental disorder following sexualized violence. Population-based studies in the Archives of General Psychiatry and the American Journal of Psychiatry have repeatedly shown that people who report sexualized violence are at higher risk of PTSD than those who report other types of traumatic events such as exposure to disasters, sudden unexpected death of a loved one, or even combat. The high prevalence of PTSD, as well as other mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal behavior among survivors of sexualized violence has been documented throughout the world—including in Liberia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Croatia, Bangladesh, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The adverse consequences of sexualized violence go well beyond mental health. This kind of violence and its subsequent mental health problems increase women's risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Rape is used as a tool of genocide via the spread of HIV, as it was in Rwanda, where women "were taunted by their genocidal rapists, who promised to infect them with HIV," according to a 2006 briefing paper from the United Nations Population Fund. Traumatic genital injury from sexualized violence impairs women's ability to produce offspring, compounding the shame of rape with infertility in societies where a woman's value is placed largely on having children, such as Congo.
Studies carried out in Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia among other places has shown that sexualized violence alters life trajectories by increasing risk of women's poor school performance, poverty, marital instability, and teen pregnancy. By affecting her ability to care for her children, the consequences of sexualized violence extend from the victim herself to the next generation. Moreover, children of women who experienced sexualized violence are at greater risk of being victims themselves.
Food insecurity and lack of access to quality medical care are common in conflict-ridden countries and further compound the intergenerational impact of sexualized violence. Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature suggests traumatic events such as sexualized violence may produce chemical changes to our genes that may be passed to our offspring. Children of mothers with PTSD who survived the Holocaust are more reactive to stress whether or not they have PTSD themselves, according to research published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
III. Adapting to terror
The human brain evolved to maximize physical survival. When threatened, the brain activates the body's "fight or flight" system in an attempt to thwart or escape the threat. When the threat is overwhelming (cannot be fought) and inescapable (cannot be fled)—as is so often the case in sexual assault—the brain tells the body to shut down or freeze.
Many victims of sexual assault describe this process in vivid detail: "I was struggling to get him off me by pushing against his chest but he was very forceful and much stronger than me. I tried harder and harder to push him off and started kicking. But he used his knees and right hand to hold me down. I remember thinking, 'Oh my God he is going to rape me.' Suddenly I felt nothing. I was floating outside my body."
This is taken from my journal entries written shortly after the rape.
The activation of the stress response system is adaptive. It mobilizes energy, increases vigilance and focus, and facilitates memory formation. If the body survives, the brain, having evolved over tens of thousands of years of evolution to maximize survival, will encode the memory with the goal of keeping the body alive in the future.
This process is referred to as "fear conditioning." Sensory details present at the time of the event—the gas fumes, a scratchy beard, drums beating, a military uniform—become inextricably linked to the memory of the event. Previously innocuous, any one such detail will trigger the victim's memory, reactivating the stress response and the memory of the assault. The memory may be so vivid she may even feel like she is reliving the assault over again.
To use my own experience as an illustration, about a month after my rape I was riding the D.C. metro to meet a friend for dinner. A man came in the car who smelled like my rapist. Suddenly, my heart was racing, I couldn't breathe, and I was propelled back into the courtyard in Agadez, where the rape occurred. My flight response was fully activated; my only thought was to get away from the smell. I stumbled off the train at the next stop thinking I was going crazy. I was not. My brain had been alerted to danger by the smell of my attacker and, to protect me, told me in no uncertain terms to get away.
IV. Recovery, elusive in conflict
Over time, I had the opportunity through individual and group therapy with other rape survivors to experience reminders and memories of the event in safety. The physiological and emotional response to the event diminished, a process referred to as fear extinction. The memory was not erased, but my brain learned to modulate my body's response to the memory. I was forever changed, but with time I was able to put the event in the past where it belongs and move on with my life. My HIV test came back negative and since I had received immediate prophylactic care for STDs, I experienced no long-term medical or physical adverse effects from the rape.
For women in conflict situations, however, the potential for recovery from sexual assault is much more difficult on multiple levels. Global and culture-specific attitudes of permissiveness around male violence against women and that blame the victim perpetuate sexualized violence in all its forms—and hinder recovery. On top of that, the chronic stress of food shortages such as in Darfur IDP camps or Liberian villages, inadequate shelter, and unpredictable living conditions make women more vulnerable to developing PTSD.
When all the members of a society are experiencing horrific events, such as during the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide, women's experiences of sexualized violence are often minimized. When I was working as a clinician, a Holocaust survivor who had been raped reported she had been told many times, "So what if you were raped? At least you are alive."
Women in all societies have primary responsibility for protecting and caring for the next generation. Under threat, women may cope by caring for others and may, therefore, ignore their own suffering. Women who become pregnant as the result of rape, particularly in countries without prophylactic pregnancy prevention or Plan B, will be stigmatized either for having an abortion (which may even be illegal in cases of rape, as in El Salvador, Afghanistan, or Niger), or having a child from the rape. Cultural values around virginity (see our Egypt analysis on "virginity tests") and sexual relations outside of marriage may dictate that victims of sexual violence be punished for their experiences—becoming "unmarriageable" or considered "whores" by their families or peers.
Narratives from women who have experienced sexualized violence in conflict situations attest to their heroic resilience in the face of these challenges. Rwandan genocide-rape survivors have organized associations to address problems associated with genocide-rape including using informal networks to provide mental health care. Women in other countries have merely gone on with their lives, continuing to provide for their families and dealing with stigma from being rape survivors.
Sexualized violence is perpetuated by the shame of its victims, who are instructed by society to suffer privately. The only cure for sexualized violence is to make the personal political. Only then, via education and legal action can the hard work of cultural change begin. Until that occurs, women who are sexually assaulted need to be provided with the opportunity to revisit reminders and memories of the assault in safety in order to recover. For women in conflict situations—such as the Democratic Republic of Congo or Somalia, where the violence is ongoing—no such place exists.

According to earlier reports, the Mets had some interest in free-agent outfielder Nelson Cruz. Adam Rubin of ESPN New York immediately downplayed the Mets interest writing that they were not nearly as interested in Cruz as some reports have indicated.
Today, Jerry Crasnick reports that Cruz' salary demands have now exceeded the Mets' appetite, according to a source. This may explain signing Chris Young today for one of the two available corner outfield spots.
I hope the reports are untrue, but lately these guys have been spot on. I always felt that Cruz would be a perfect grab for the Mets. He's coming off a .266/.327/.506 season with 27 homers in 456 PA.
Cruz is believed to be seeking a 4-year deal in the $50 to 60 million range.

I'll note that the same effect can be achieved by requesting a region of size double-alignment (e.g. requesting a 2M region when you want 1M alignment) and then using munmap() to trim the edges down to the aligned region inside it. Less efficent, of course, but quite possible. - Nathan

On a really bitterly cold day with a wind that felt like it came straight from Siberia, I met a friend, Lisa, for lunch. It was so cold we decided to meet inside the St Germain des Pres church so neither one of us would have to stand outside.
It's one of the oldest churches in Paris and much of it is still painted as you can see by this column.
One of the bishops of the church was from Poland.
After lunch we headed for the bus stop and passed this restaurant. One of these days I'd like to eat here for something special as it is a bit expensive.
Art Nouveau revolving doors lead you to the interior.
Over the door, the name of the restaurant.
There are really beautiful murals on the exterior.
A seafood platter if you want. It was so cold that I'm sure they didn't need the ice.

There are 9 reviews of Gingembre.
The ginger notes are elegant, light and fresh - helped by bergamot and neroli - but sufficiently complex with some development on my skin. The base is dull and boring though. A light scent for ginger lovers with the ginger being well done. Limited image and projection with three hours of longevity. For warmer weather this is a nice composition.

UPDATE: 2/5. Please help me see his side! I'm just way too mad to.
Another fun story for you all! Well, maybe bot fun per-say.
My DH coaches 10-12 year old girls basketball team. When I arrived to practice on Tuesday one of the girls approached me and asked if she and her sister could come home with us on Thusday and ride to the game with us. I said we have to talk to coach, because I have to work.
Okay so I talk to DH and he says "I'm not really comfortable with taking two 11 year old girls home without a woman there. It seems like that's just asking to cause trouble."
I say, "sorry babe I have to work. I hate to let you down."
"Well I just wish you would be home. I'm going to have to tell the girls they can't come to the game."
I offer to change my work schedule so I have thurs off and work fri, so we can help and the girls can make it to the game.
DH says "do what you think is best."
So I get to work Wednesday and ask my boss if he'd rather I come in thurs or fri, because I might want thurs off.
Boss says "actually I was going to ask you to work Friday so that works great. I'll pay you today."
So I get home and tell DH I'm off Thursday, he says and I quote "I'm really glad you are off, I think it's for the best."
Well schools end up closed thurs so it becomes a non issue, as the girls had to go to a relative's for the day and had a ride to the game.
But DH gets all mad and he's like "you go changing your schedule whenever you want and you don't care about anyone else."
"Excuse me?" I say "what was that?"
"You know they will close schools tomorrow."
"We'll now I'm going to have to miss with to watch the kids." (Dh's kids, not the ball players).
"No, we can take them to their moms. She runs a daycare out if her home. And im sure shed love to see them."
"We can take them to your mom and dad's."
"I will send them to friend's houses."
"Okay, we will ask your dad to come over ANC hang out. It will only be 2 hours."
"We need to make a plan."
"I'll figure it out."
"I'm trying to help."
"A lot of help you are, you just care about yourself. I can't leave work early!"
"Well there are tons of options. They are five and eight, have lots of friends whose parents we know really well, and they have a mom on the other side of town. We'll work it out."
"Dont talk to me."
"Please don't be that way, I changed my schedule to help you in the first place."
"You changed if because all you care about is you."
"Now that's not fair and you know it. Besides he was going to ask me to change it anyway."
"He might not have."
"Yes he would. "
"You don't know that. You just did whatever you want and don't care about anyone else."
So I got up and walked away. Obviously he isn't going to be reasonable. But I'm really hurt. He spends the rest of the day not speaking to me.
He leaves for work at 3am. And I always make him breakfast and wake him up, so while he's eating I bring up that we need a plan for the kids. Why can't they go to mom's? He just tells me no again.
So I ask "do you want me to call out?"
"I don't see why I should have to."
"I already got paid for Friday and I'm the only employee, if I don't work we have no productivity that day. That's why I prefer to know in advance."
"See all you care about us yourself."
"I'll call out if you'll forgive me."
"Just stay away from me."
"Okay well I'm sorry I let you down."
He leaves all mad and won't even hug or kiss goodbye. I try not to cry until he's out of sight. Because I don't want to give him the satisfaction.
He calls later and asks if schools are closed. I tell him they are. He gets all mad again. And tells me to call my boss. When I ask what he wants me to say, he doesn't speak. I say okay I'll call him after 7am, it's too early now (6:15). He hangs up on me.
At 7 I call my boss and he tells me I can stay home if I want, but there is a chance for extra responsibility on a trial basis (which will go away if I don't come in) and $1,000 in commission.
So I start texting my DH at 7:05 every 5 minutes telling him I have this great opportunity, I'm so excited!
Finally at 9:30am I'm already a half hour late and no word from DH I put the kids in the car and take them to work with me.
He barges into my office and takes the kids and leaves without speaking to me at 12:30 while im working my butt off to get ready for My client. Absolutely nothing from him before that.
And now he hasn't spoken a single word to me since.
Here 's the question.
Please put yourself in his shoes. What was it that I did that made him so mad?
I want to understand his side.
Okay so I just get a text from the same little girl saying "C u @ your house @ 4 or 430"
Uh, what?! I'm at work.
So I call DH and ask him if he knows about this. Yeah, well, their mom needs to send them to our house before the game. So, they're going to come over and play video games until it's time to leave for SD's game.
UH, okay. Well I'll be home when I can.
DH then says, "well can't you be home by the time they get here? I don't want to be home alone with the girls."
I tell him, "No. I'm already leaving work an hour early for SD's ball game. I can't, leave 2 hours early. I would have had to have been out the door right now to be home before the girls got there."
"Well can't you just try?"
"No, I'm sorry. I already have appointments and stuff scheduled so I can leave at 4. I can't push it up another hour, not when it's not an actual emergency."
We'll see how mad he is when I get home. (It's an hour drive between home and work.)
too long, sorry...can I get the cliff notes?
From what you have presented, you did nothing that he should be upset with at all. You changed your schedule to make him more comfortable. It sounds like he is upset about something else and taking it out on you.

The full potential of chemotherapy can be limited in practice by toxic side effects. Therefore, strategies or interventions that are effective in selectively protecfing normal cells, but not cancer cells, are predicted to increase the therapeutic window and clinical effectiveness of chemotherapy. Published literature demonstrates that mice subjected to short-term stan/ation are protected from high doses of etoposide that kill their fed littermates. In addition, tumor cells carrying mutations that cause constitutive activation of the PI3K pathway have been shown to be insensitive to the anti-growth effects of dietary restriction when grown as xenografts in mice. Thus, fasting may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy by protecting normal cells, but not cancer cells, frcim the toxic effects of chemotherapy and clinical trials are currently being conducted to test whether fasting prior to or during chemotherapy reduces associated side-effects in cancer patients. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms mediating the differential response of normal cells compared with cancer cells to short-term starvation. Using a reporter mouse engineered to express firefly luciferase from the endogenous p21 promoter, we observe a potent induction of p21 expression in response to short-term stan/ation. Interestingly, this occurs in metabolic organs and p21 expression was also observed, forthe first time, in particular neurons ofthe hypothalamus that regulate metabolism. Our preliminary studies also demonstrate that p21 protects cells from the DNA damaging effects of irinotecan, a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor used clinically to treat certain types of cancer. Thus, experiments proposed in this applicafion will (1) determine if induction of p21 expression by short-term starvation protects mice from the lethal effects of high dose chemotherapy and ionizing radiation, (2) identify the signaling pathway(s) responsible for activating p21 expression in response to short-term starvation and (3) determine if short-term stan/ation protects mice, but not PTEN-deficient prostate cancers growing in these mice, from chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Results from our studies could dramafically change our approach to chemotherapy with a readily translatable inten/ention, pre-therapy fasting. In addition, by delineating the signaling pathway(s) that are activated by short-term starvation and that protect normal cells from the toxic effects of genotoxic stress, our studies may identify novel targets for the development of agents that serve as chemoprotectants and/or radioprotectants for cancer patients.

Centre Shawn "Shorny" Lawrence followed up Thursday night's 24-point, 12-rebound performance with 23 points and 13 rebounds 24-hours later, to help guide Caledonia Clippers to a 76-66 win over Petro Jazz in Game Three of the Mackeson Super 10 Basketball Big-Four semi-finals on Friday night at Southern Indoor Sports Arena, Pleasantville, San Fernando.
Playing to avoid elimination, Caledonia jumped out to 14-4 lead and never looked back.
The "Pride and Joy" of Morvant, took control of the first quarter 23-16 and went into half-time leading just by a basket, 40-38. Clippers, who played a better game than in the two previous matches which saw them fall 0-2 in the best-of-five series, concluded the third session of play with a 56-62 lead and then outscored their hosts and silenced their supporters for almost the entire fourth stanza.
For Caledonia, Lawrence got valuable support from forward Wesley Vincent, who netted 18 points, including eight unbroken free-throws, six of which were scored in the last 95 seconds of the match. He also pulled down four rebounds, while team-mate Akil Paynter, helped himself to 10 points.
For Jazz who trailed from the jump-ball, forward Kevin Garcia got 16 points and 11 rebounds before he fouled out in the fourth quarter. Adrian Joseph had 12 points and seven rebounds and Steve McSween added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Centre Dextroy Manswell, who came up big in Thursday's win with 10 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocks struggled with just four points, but got 12 rebounds and just one blocked shot for Jazz.
More crucially, Jazz's prolific scorer Ako Pascal had a match low of just eight points and one rebound. He led the team in turnovers with seven.

The Kindle Classroom Project is expanding.
Would you like to volunteer to help out?
Lately, when people hear about the Kindle Classroom Project, they want to know more about my "team." They use the second-person-plural, as in, "How do you all manage more than 1,000 Kindles?" They're shocked when I tell them the KCP is a one-person operation (plus a kind army of friends and family who work tirelessly at Kindle Parties).
To regain their composure, they ask, "So you do this full time, then?" It's a common question. A new teacher at Envision Academy assumed that when students called me "the Kindle guy," that meant running the KCP was my job. Nope. All the work I do on the Kindle Classroom Project is done outside of business hours.
I humbly announce that it's time to ask for some help.
With the recent donation of 458 Kindles (thank you, Worldreader!), the size and scope of the program have exploded. The demand is high, too. In just a few weeks, I'm beginning a pilot in three new schools in Oakland. Two additional schools want whole-school implementation in the 2017-18 school year. The sky's the limit.
With all this growth, I'm coming to terms on two things: (1) I no longer can do this alone; (2) I can't pay anyone (yet) to help me.
Therefore, Would you like to volunteer for the Kindle Classroom Project? If you love to read, and if you care about the reading lives of young people in Oakland and San Francisco, you could be a great match. Why not try it out?
The KCP needs help in the following areas:
– Buying books for students. Students request books every day. The KCP's pledge is to honor their request by the next day. This means checking the website every night, buying books on Amazon (with funds donated by generous KCP supporters), and notifying the student of the good news. If you're interested in helping out with book buying, you would need a computer and 15 minutes a day.
– Prepping donated Kindles for students. Kindles arrive from across the country every day, and it takes about 10-20 minutes to prep each one for students. This job involves resetting the Kindle to factory settings, setting up parental controls, adding the Kindle to the website, and a few other secret steps. If you're interested in prepping Kindles, you would need a computer and about 1-2 hours a week.
– (Perhaps) helping to build a nonprofit organization. If you have a legal background and can assist with whether it makes sense if the Kindle Classroom Project becomes a 501c3 nonprofit organization, that would be very helpful, too. I know that there are pros and cons to moving in this direction, so it would be great to get some professional advice.
Please let me know if you're interested in any of these volunteer opportunities! Let me know by sending me a note: the easiest way is clicking on the "Email us" button in the lower-right corner of this page. Thank you. With your help, the KCP can keep growing in 2017 and meeting the reading needs of Bay Area students!

Tough to get boys to talk about feelings! (long)
K got brought home by the neighbor's older sister because he was throwing pieces of their game into the street and then kicked the game down (the golf ball ladder toss game). When I got him calmed down and listened to his side he told me why - it was because there were a lot of kids wanting a turn and they made him last in line. I said, somebody had to go last. He told me it made him feel left out so he "decided to be a jerk to them" (his words not mine). I asked him if it worked, if they gave him a turn before other kids, and he said no. I showed him that everybody had a bad time because of that decision. I suggested that if he feels left out, he should talk to M because she is a good friend and would understand. Well he can't do that. Every time I suggested he tell her how he felt he got agitated and talked about what he would do next time M wanted to play with him (make her go last, obvs).
So I kinda dropped that line of conversation and focused on what he did and why it was not OK. Eventually we agreed he needed to write M a letter and give it to her. He wrote "M, I am really sorry for kicking your game" and wanted to run right out the door. I asked what about the other stuff he needed to apologize for, and didn't he want to explain why he got upset? He wrote a new note, "M, I am sorry for kicking your game and throwing your balls." "Don't you want to tell her that you felt left out?" "No."
Why can't boys tell their friends how they feel? Is it a boy thing? DH is very expressive and talks about feelings just fine, it's not that they have a 'bad' example. And he talks to me easily. But he'd rather get dragged home in a blaze of glory than say, "you hurt my feelings."
It's not just because he's a boy but maybe because of his age?

We know Shady travels for work, so on his days off is she giving him the run around? You act like when a female isnt mad at a male when a kid is involved? She doesnt act like a b!tch.
He's 24, yet you are betting everyone he ends up broke after he retires. He has some growing up to do but thats a crazy prediction you made there. Be nice to see you put this much thought into Dallas players.
He didn't deny her claims that he disappeared for 4 months...she even listed the months he was gone...maybe she made that up, but for now I believe her...it isn't hard to believe at all.
and yes he is young and has a lot of growing up to do...I am betting that by the time he "grows up" his career is coming to an end...for most RBs they only play to age 30 or so. He has to make the money he is making now last him the rest of his life because we all know he has no future in broadcasting later...and he has some child support to pay which for him is BIG $$$

Hi everyone my name is gabby and I am 15 years old, I have Asperger's syndrome it's an autism I have that makes me see the world much differently than most. As in were super sensitive to everything meaning we sense everything we can hear things from a mile away, if something is just chilly it will seem like it's freezing, and if it's just warm outside it feels like we're burning up. It's also difficulty social wise but hopefully my disability doesn't stop me from doing this.
I am new to this whole witch stuff I am a beginner student, I never joined a coven before. So I'm entirely new. Like fresh off the market new.
I study from different resorces, by reading different websites, watching YouTube videos but never really seem to be accurate, so I hope this one will be right for me. But I look forward in working with you guys! :)
But don't be alarmed if I disappear from time to time
Because I have chores babysitting my brother while my mom works from home and my homeschooling as well. Thanks for having me with you guys!

Nobody really knew what to expect. How could they? They hoped rookie Matt Magill would do well, of course, but he was a 23-year-old making his major-league debut. An emergency fill-in for a depleted rotation.
Magill became the Dodgers' ninth starting pitcher in their first 23 games. So with four starting pitchers on the disabled list, the call went out to Magill.
Magill, who had made four starts above the double-A level. Who had been drafted in the 31st round in 2008. Who back in spring was nowhere on the rotation radar.
But after a slightly rocky beginning, Magill gave the Dodgers all they could hope for, and a little more. He went 6 2/3 strong innings Saturday, holding the Brewers to a pair of runs on four hits and two walks, with seven strikeouts.

Investors have become increasingly frustrated with this current economic environment and the unpredictability of the stock market.
While the argument for attractive valuations might compel one to invest in equities, the downside risk of getting in too soon can be daunting.
While everyone knows that timing the market is difficult if not impossible, there are strategies, not so well known, that can be used to participate in the market and still protect the downside.
Usually, those alternative strategies have only been available to qualified and/or accredited investors with minimum investments exceeding $1 million. However, there is an increasing number of mutual funds that use these strategies (the same or similar to those used by hedge funds), and which are available for low minimums and daily liquidity.
In fact, there are so many choices of alternative mutual funds that a quick screen on Morningstar for the alternative category reveals 821 different funds. The most popular of these types of funds are the long/short equity funds, which can implement both long and short ideas in their portfolios.
This strategy is largely the easiest to implement and the easiest to understand. Portfolio managers go long those securities they believe are undervalued and can potentially increase in price, while at the same time short selling those securities they feel are overvalued and can potentially decrease in price. It is the exposure to these short positions that may provide downside protection when the market declines.
But there are other strategies, as well, and each investor should evaluate which strategy works best within their unique well-diversified portfolio of equities and fixed income. The Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund (CVSIX), Robeco Long Short Equity (BPLSX), the Arbitrage I (ARBNX) and the Prudent Bear Fund (BEARX) are particularly noteworthy.
The Calamos Market Neutral Income Fund
This fund implements a long/short strategy using convertible bonds and equities. In 2008, this fund lost 13% while the S&P 500 lost 37%, and YTD (as of July 12), the fund has a return of 3.73%. While it trails the S&P 500 YTD, the downside protection it offers is very attractive.
Robeco Long/Short Equity
This fund uses the basic long/short equity strategy mentioned above. It invests a large portion of assets in smaller names, which makes it a bit more volatile than other long/short funds, but its performance speaks for itself. The five-year return is a whopping 13.8% annualized. In addition, while it did lose 21% in 2008, it recovered by a whopping 82.37% in 2009, and it has a 2012 YTD return of 6.25%, about even with the S&P 500.

Arbitrage I Fund
While this fund uses a long/short equity strategy, it specifically invests in announced mergers and acquisitions by buying the target company and short-selling the acquirer. The strategy is dependent on the successful completion of the announced deals, and it profits from taking advantage of the difference between the share prices of each of those companies and their tendency to become equal at the time of deal closing.
When the deal is closed, the position is liquidated and a new merger announcement is sought. If market prices go down before the deal is completed, both stocks will tend to move together, minimizing the impact of the fund's position. Only a catalyst affecting the specific stocks in a deal would adversely affect this type of strategy.
The Prudent Bear Fund
This fund only short-sells stocks. When the market is going up, this fund will underperform, but as part of a well-diversified portfolio, this fund will help smooth out overall returns and will perform very well when the market sells off.

Carroll recalled to England squad for Wembley clash with Ireland
Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy earns his first call-up to senior ranks
England boss Roy Hodgson has included Alex McCarthy in his squad for the friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil.
McCarthy has impressed in goal for Reading at the back end of the season and the 23-year-old has been rewarded with his first senior call-up.
Striker Andy Carroll, on loan at West Ham from Liverpool, has also been recalled by Hodgson for the games against Ireland at Wembley on May 29th and the trip to Brazil on June 2nd.
Hodgson is yet to make a call on who will captain the side in the absence of the injured Steven Gerrard.
The manager said Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney were the "captains elect" although he will also speak to Ashley Cole, who is due to receive his 100th cap before the game against the Republic of Ireland.
"Lampard and Rooney are the captains elect, but I'll speak to Ashley Cole; he's receiving his 100th cap," he told a press conference.
"Most players who receive their 100th cap do receive the honour of captaining the country.
"But the last time I spoke to Ashley about it he was happy to stay in the shadows. Out of courtesy I'll speak to him as I will with Frank and Wayne when we get together."
Hodgson said he would be comfortable handing Rooney the armband despite his future at Manchester United being unclear.
Rooney handed in a transfer request last week and was left out of the squad that beat Swansea 2-1 in Alex Ferguson's final game in charge at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"His situation at Manchester United is between him and the club. It doesn't really impact on me with England as long as he is fit and playing football," he said.
"There is no doubt that he's doing that and there's no doubt in my mind about his commitment to England."
Hodgson also denied Rooney might lack match-sharpness after falling out of favour with his club.
"I have to debate one of your points, that he's had limited time," he said.
"He didn't play in the last game but in the games he's started, he might not have finished the 90 minutes, but he's played pretty regularly. When you tot up his games he'll be nudging 50 rather than 38."I'm not concerned about his playing time."
Hodgson said McCarthy had deserved his first call-up after impressing for Reading since returning from an injury that ruled him out for the majority of the campaign.
He was in inspired form against Manchester City on Tuesday night, and Hodgson revealed the decision to select McCarthy had only been made in the past couple of days.
"I thought now with Alex having done so well in the games I've seen him play and in the reports I've received of his, this is a good chance to bring him in behind Joe Hart and Ben Foster," he said.
"We'll see how he copes with being in a senior squad. He deserves his place because he's played well."
"I have to be honest I haven't had a chance to speak to him. We made the decision to take him just a couple of days ago and I've been in Amsterdam.
"I'm rather hoping you don't need to speak to someone to give them the news. I hope when he hears the news today he'll be very happy and I'm looking forward to spending some time with him when we meet up.
"It is important to give these young players a chance to show us what he can do."
Hodgson hinted McCarthy might not get the chance to make his debut, however, as he looks to use on the players he is likely to rely upon in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Asked if McCarthy could play, he said: "Not necessarily no. I regard them as preparation games rather than friendly games.
"I'm more interested in this squad to give the players who I think might be more important to us in the qualifiers in September and October a chance to really play."(I don't want) a situation where in every game you are trying to use 18 players instead of playing long periods and instead getting a 15-20 minute cameo."
Hodgson insisted he had no qualms about the physicality of Carroll on the international stage.
Carroll has impressed for West Ham and the England boss feels he offers the team a different outlet.
He told Sky Sports News: "In a squad of players you need various qualities among your players.
"You don't necessarily fill your team with players who are much of a muchness, who virtually clone each other.
"It is very good to have some on your team who give you another dimension because games pan out in different ways.
"For a long time we didn't consider Andy Carroll because he was injured but since he has come back from injury he has always been very much in our thoughts.
"I think he is the type of player who gives another dimension to our squad and gives us other possibilities if we care to use them.
"I'm not concerned about his playing style There is always going to be room for a centre-forward of his class, his type who is good at holding the ball up, very good at attacking crosses."
ENGLAND (squad for the friendlies against the Republic of Ireland on May 29thin Wembley and Brazil on June 2nd):
Goalkeepers: Foster (West Brom), Hart (Manchester City), McCarthy (Reading).
Defenders: Baines (Everton), Cahill (Chelsea), Cole (Chelsea), Jagielka (Everton), Johnson (Liverpool), Jones (Manchester United), Lescott (Manchester City), Walker (Tottenham).
Midfielders: Carrick, Cleverley (both Manchester United), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Manchester City), Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott (both Arsenal).
Forwards: Carroll (West Ham, on loan from Liverpool), Defoe (Tottenham), Rooney (Manchester United), Sturridge (Liverpool), Welbeck (Manchester United).

2011 Honda Pilot SUV - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Awesome SUV
By rsgnice on
Vehicle2011 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV 4WD w/Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewWe have owned our 2011 Pilot for over a month now. This is our third family hauler and the best yet. Shopped around for over six months and finally settled with the Pilot. It has everything we had hoped to have in our family hauler. It has good exterior looks and finish love the boxy/angled shape. Engine has a lot of power and provides a smooth ride. Interior is roomy, comfortable and quite. Seats are firm with excellent back support. Music system is awesome. We had 6 adults and 2 kids on a day trip and the SUV hauled without a fuss. The only quirk - features offered in EXL are very few for the money. They seem to have rectified it for the 2012 model. All in all, I love the SUV!!!
Best FeaturesRear entertainment system. Music system quality. Nice Pickup and smooth ride. Lot of room for the passengers.
Worst FeaturesThey seem to have added bluetooth, powered lift gate and a big control panel as standard on 2012 EXL. Wish they were standard on 2011 model.

Chapter 34: Below
Chuck went first into the hole and his light showed a grimy set of steps heading down into the earth. He'd been forced to abandon both the shotgun and rifle he was carrying in his swim to safety but still at least had the grenades on his chest for heavy ordinance. Down to the two handguns he had strapped to himself for firearms he kept one pointed at the floor as they moved forward and prayed it would still fire after being dunked. Carefully and with as much stealth as possible he crept to the next floor. It was a large, open room, larger than the one above but just as empty.
Waiting for the lights of his companions to join him at the bottom of the flight there didn't seem to be anything in the room except another set of steps on the opposite side of the room leading downward. It was almost too easy and Chuck didn't like it. He was also a little concerned that neither of his friends brought long range weaponry but he supposed they would have been lost in the storm too. He would have to hope that the Dark Man would make up the difference.
"Empty?" Julia asked behind him.
"Not for long. Keep going." Victor suggested. They waited for Chuck to move first as apparently the guy with the gun was doing the leading down here. At least he had kevlar.
Heading down the next flight of stairs he could see the soft glow of lamps coming from the bottom and motioned behind him to kill their lights. Slinking down to the room as a group this floor was identical to the one above except this had a single light in the center. Sitting at a table for two by herself was a disheveled blonde girl Chuck had seen before but could not recall from where. In front of her was a large caliber revolver and she was staring ahead as if they weren't there.
"Where do I know her from?" Chuck whispered.
"That's the crazy bitch from the hotel." Julia reminded him.
"Crap, you're right. What is she doing here?"
"Beats me."
"Use caution." Victor urged. "Something is amiss here."
They moved slowly forward and Chuck kept his pistol pointed away but ready. They came within fifteen feet of her and still the blonde didn't so much as look their way. The killer turned back to Julia and motioned with his head towards the unknown female but the pilgrim made a confused face. Chuck mouthed the word 'girl' overly exaggerated to her and Julia's eyes narrowed at him.
"Why do I have to do it!?" she whispered angrily.
"You're a chick!" Chuck whispered back.
"How does that count!? Like we have some kind of special bond because we both have girl parts!?"
The killer looked up in thought and jiggled his head a little as he determined that this wasn't terrible logic. Silently fuming Julia turned to Victor for support who shrugged in grudging agreement. "Bag of dicks..." she muttered before venturing forward out of their pack.
"Uh, hi, remember us?" she said to the girl.
"Don't come any closer." the blonde warned.
"Hey, we don't want to hurt you." Julia put up her hands but the girl didn't so much as flick her eyes towards them.
"This is between me and him. Murphy." the girl asserted defiantly.
"Well-" Julia started but the girl went for the gun and Chuck whipped his pistol up to point at her. Instead of aiming it at them the blonde put it to her own head and pulled the trigger. Chuck squawked involuntarily as the gun clicked on an empty trigger.
"Holy shit!" Julia blurted and backed up a little. Chuck didn't quite know what to do since it didn't make sense to point a gun at someone who was playing Russian roulette with themselves.
"Hey! Calm down!"
"Get any closer and I stand up." the girl spat.
"You people already took the gun I had. Now I'm just down to one bullet."
"Well actually, we need that and we have it-"
"Shut up!" she snapped. "If I stand up the bomb under the table goes off. So don't even think of trying to stop us."
"Wha-what!?" the pilgrim balked and the three of them bent down almost simultaneously to see what looked like a bundle of dynamite taped to the underside of the table.
"Aaaaagh!" they reacted.
"You can't save him. We'll finish this." the deranged girl promised.
"Uh...okay...you know there's no one in front of you right?" Julia asked as she backed away from the table.
"Very funny. I'm looking right at the bastard who stole everything. Don't try to trick me." she said sarcastically.
"Um, all in favor of getting the hell out of here?" Chuck asked his friends.
"Seconded." Julia held up a finger. The three of them gave the table a wide berth and practically ran to the next flight of stairs. Chuck glanced back once at the unstable female still focused on whatever imaginary person was in front of her but at the moment they were in no position to help. Saying a mental apology he hurried away from the explosive and down to the next floor.
They were falling over each other to get down the steps and burst onto the landing in a tactically unsound way. It didn't matter though as they stopped short from the macabre scene before them. The room had been some kind of operations center but it was a graveyard at the moment. The decomposing bodies of many mercenaries and a number of robed cultists were strewn about in eternal repose. At first Chuck assumed the Dark Man had taken care of it but when he examined them more closely they were missing the tell tale violence and inhuman force that marked Nothing's attacks. It would appear that many of them died from bullet wounds.
"Well damn." Julia said out loud.
"Something went wrong here." Victor added. "The soldiers turned on their employers."
"And themselves?" Chuck asked as he knelt down to one of the mercenaries' rifles. Holstering his pistol he picked up the black assault gun and started rummaging for more clips. As he searched among the dead he found few that had not met their end by bullets. The ones who hadn't bore horrific burns or giant holes certainly not made by any gun.
"Either bullets or...fire?" he spoke up as he stuffed another clip into his pocket.
"One of the Order's standard magical attacks." Victor explained. "Look at this."
They turned to the next stairwell which had a dead cultist on it. It was covered with thick metal doors and chained shut from their side. From the looks of it the cultist had died securing the chains for whatever reason.
"What do you think this is all about?" Julia asked him.
"No clue. We're going to have to get past these either way."
"Is that a good idea?" Chuck interjected.
"There's a crazy woman with a giant bomb a floor up. Do you want to get two floors away or what?" she asked.
Shutting himself up Chuck started helping Victor untangle the mass of metal keeping the doors together. When the the chains were off it took both men to lift the extraordinarily heavy door up and drop it to the side with a loud bang that echoed in the enclosed space. The killer winced at the noise but it couldn't be helped. Quickly retrieving his new rifle he again took the lead and went down another level in the surprisingly deep structure.
When the next floor came into view he stopped in his as soon as he reached the bottom. Gathered behind a barricade of flipped over tables and chairs was a group of the mercs. They ducked down out of sight when he saw them and with the rest of the room being a scattered mess of random furniture Chuck slid behind a washer dryer combo he wasn't sure would make for useful cover.
"Hold your fire!" a voice came from the other side of the room. With the other two staying back on the stairwell the killer had to hold the room down and risked putting his gun up just over the edge of the appliance. The men were holed up well but their fortifications looked almost as flimsy as his own.
"I'm coming out!" the same man said and out from behind the barricade. Older with a worn face and gray hair he was mean looking but had his hands up. Chuck could drop him right then and there but it was hard to justify shooting an unarmed person.
"What do you want?" he asked the merc.
"Just to talk. You're Chuck right?" the man said and only then did the son of Silent Hill recognize his voice. It was Hulme, the mercenary commander who he'd only talked to with a black mask over his face.
"You!" he hissed. "Your men tortured me!"
"I know. There wasn't much I could do to stop them at that point." Hulme said sadly. "They were scared, angry, losing hope. And you killed them all anyway."
"You would have done the same thing!" Victor called down from the steps.
"I would have. And I'd do it again to get my men out." Hulme admitted to the absent knight. "But we're all that's left."
"What happened?"
"Your old friends had something of an insurrection and my people got dragged into the middle of it. We had orders to shoot dissenters but they were offering a way out of town and triple what we were being paid. Some were against it, some for it, there was shouting and then someone fired a round off. All hell broke loose. They backed us up down here and locked the door. That lying bastard Stone put up some magic wall down below. We've been stuck here for two days with no food or water. I guess they were going to let us starve to death." the commander spoke rapidly.
"All right...what now then?" the killer asked.
"We just want to go home." Hulme said tiredly. "No more of this. We won't fight you."
"I should shoot you where you stand." Chuck threatened.
"If you will agree to let the rest of my men go, then do it. I will pay that price." the mercenary decreed.
"Let them go, Chuck." Julia called down. "There's been enough revenge already."
It was hard to argue with that. Even though he was still literally sore from what the mercenaries had done to him they had been paid back a hundred times over in terms of vengeance. The Dark Man and Victor had done their bloody work well and dozens of the mercs had died in the hospital where they had been kept prisoner. Chuck sighed and stood up as a relieved Hulme signaled to his men. His friends came down as the broken, fatigued group of mercenaries filed out past them out of the room. There were only seven left including Hulme and Chuck shuddered to think of how many had met their end here.
The last to go was the commander and his weary features spoke of the toll his stay had taken on him. "I warned you, Commander." Victor sneered. "Your actions have had the consequences foretold."
"Coming here was the biggest mistake of my life." The commander said in a state of exhaustion. "All I wanted was to get my people out. Now most of them will never leave. This is something I will have to live with...if I live at all."
"And I'd kill you if you were worth it." the knight simmered with uncharacteristic vehemence. "But even if the misty land doesn't take care of you, I want you to live with your decisions. I want them to haunt you until your last breath. Begone from here, before I change my mind."
The knight waved his hand contemptuously and the old soldier lowered his head as he dragged his feet away from them. When the trio was alone again Julia said, "Well that was a little harsh."
"Your clemency was hard enough to swallow. Don't expect me to be polite as well." Victor said irritably.
"Let it go, Vic." the killer said. "They beat my ass with bats and I agree with Julia. There's been enough."
Sullen but quiet the knight did not retort and they resumed forward progress. Picking their way past the mercenaries' make shift camp they came to the next flight hidden among their fortifications. Heading down to a well lit floor that was half finished the rest was a large cave opening still rough hewn from whatever cataclysm formed it. A massive, circular stone door had been set over an opening leading onward and blocked their entrance. The Order's signature symbol, that strange, circle within circle mark with unintelligible lettering had been carved into the entirety of the door. Some fifteen feet across and just as many high it must have weighed many tons. Standing in front of it contemplating the intricate design was the Dark Man with his bone spikes criss-crossing his back.
"What is it among men that drives them to attempt to seal their place in history?" he asked the door. "It so often forgets them despite their best efforts."
"We might ask that of you, Daniel Kewahqu. You're the one who took it upon yourself to alter the misty land forever." the knight said.
"Come now, Victor Rosencrantz." The shade purred. "Do you truly believe in the innocence of a place so wrapped around the Order's finger that the girl's wrath swallowed it whole?"
"And what about the people who had nothing to do with them? People like us who just happened to be somewhere else when you struck?"
"The ones living on land stolen hundreds of years ago?" The shade shrugged. "If they were pure of heart I doubt much changed at all."
"You unleashed something you can't control." Julia accused.
"You, dear pilgrim, say this as if I was meant to." the shade answered softly. "The misty land is greater than you or I. Its judgment is its own...things are as they should be. I am merely an extension of its will. And there remains one last threat to it we must purge."
Unstrapping his harness the ghost approached Victor with it held out in his hands. "Behold! The spears of Gloom, Void, Darkness, Despair, Temptation, Source, Watchfulness and Chaos." he rattled off. As the knight pulled the harness on over his kevlar Chuck inspected the strange lettering all over them. One read "HASTA SANCTAE MATRIS" and "VIGILANTIA" and these words were carved down the every inch of the deadly spike. The other were similarly decorated and gave the already intimidating weapons another irrational wrinkle.
"The conjurer will have an item on him tying him to this world." Nothing instructed. "I will retrieve it and together with these righteous spears, you will join it to his true flesh."
"What do you mean, true flesh? How will we know what it is?" Julia balked as the shade exerted himself against the door.
"You will know." The Dark Man grunted as he began to roll the massive slab to the side. He rotated it just enough to crack it for them to get through and the door came back to rest. "I cannot follow. When the time of reckoning is upon us, I will join thee again."
Victor went in first and Julia behind him. Chuck took a deep breath as he looked over at the impassive Dark Man who only nodded back. Going in last the killer entered a room bathed in the light of a thousand candles.

TED Talk Thursday – Brené Brown: Listening to shame
According to ted.com: "Shame is an unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior. Brené Brown, whose earlier talk on vulnerability became a viral hit, explores what can happen when people confront their shame head-on. Her own humor, humanity and vulnerability shine through every word."
"Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. She spent the first five years of her decade-long study focusing on shame and empathy, and is now using that work to explore a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness. She poses the questions:
How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough – that we are worthy of love, belonging, and joy?"
Enjoy this authentic, funny, and uplifting talk.
For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com:
"TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize"

Credit Counseling: Your first line of defense against crushing debt
Many people find themselves in a position where their financial debt has become unmanageable. They find that they simply don't earn enough money to make ends meet. The common reaction for many people who find themselves in this position is to simply ignore the issue, hoping that it will go away. However, they quickly realize that the problem won't go away on its own. The collection calls will continue to come to one's home. The collection letters will come in the mail. The consumer's credit report will continue to show the debt that has piled up, and is collecting interest.
However, tempting as it is, the worst thing that anyone can do in these situations is to ignore the problem. That's because the problems can only be resolved if they are addressed. Not only this, but so many aspects of a consumer's life will be challenging if they don't take care of their outstanding debt. The consumer will find that they can't get financing for a house. They will find that they will never be able to get credit cards or charge cards. These financial products are very useful in the case of an emergency. Or, a consumer will find that bank loans are out of their reach. These are all very important financial products that can help a consumer in the case of emergencies, and these financial products can help a consumer to gain the things that they need and desire for a better quality of life.
However, no matter how hard it may seem for consumers, there is a way that consumers who are facing overwhelming debt can overcome their issues. They can ask for help from a trained credit counselor. Your Toronto credit counselor is someone you have to have a great deal of trust in. These professionals know how to get the process of overcoming debt started. They are able to read the consumer's credit reports. They are able to address which accounts need to be paid off first, create a payment plan schedule, and even call the creditors on the behalf of the client to declare that the client is in credit counseling.
The credit counselor will make arrangements with the creditors to accept lower payments, so that the client's debt can be cleared as soon as possible. These counselors are able to make payment arrangements based upon the client's current income. The repayment process might take some time, but the process can go a long way in making the client feel more hopeful and more empowered about their lives.
One more thing that a credit counselor can offer their clients is financial education. They can offer their clients tools that will help their clients to make better financial decisions, so that they won't find themselves in the same bind in the future.

International Data Security (IDS), a U.S. start-up, the brainchild of its CEO, Ken Choi, and ex-U.S. Navy Admiral and President, Richard Naughton, presents a novel concept in functionality and recycling. IDS is a privately held company that plans to open an initial 50 onboard floating data centers in April that will be located inside "recycled" decommissioned cargo container ships.
Initially located in San Francisco at Pier 50, the data centers are said to be easier to get up and going than land sites, and to also be more environmentally green. A big plus is that the cargo ships are being re-used, rather than left to sit and rust in a harbor someplace after being scrapped for parts.
IDS plans to launch its fleet of 50 ships that it has purchased and will moor them in various ports. IDS plans to have 22 of the container ships stationed around the U.S. coastline and 28 in other global locations. The data centers will be constructed within the cargo space and could also be housed within shipping containers stacked on deck.
Since these are very large ships, it is estimated that each ship could offer potential data center space of at least 200,000 square feet. The power and network connections will be run out to the moored ships from land by cables.
Having portable data centers that are movable is a novel idea for disaster recovery centers. In the event of emergency or natural disaster situations the ability to get a data center up and running and transported near the area in need is critical. Off-shore cargo container ships could prove very useful in these types of situations. IDS claims that its power demands can be supplemented by on-ship generators running a bio-diesel supply that can potentially provide emergency data support during sustained power outages.
Sea water can reportedly be used to cool the air conditioning needed for inside the data centers and the heat exhausted from the data centers will be recycled to heat the quarters of the ship, at a claimed 30 to 40 percent energy savings overall. To help reduce the demands on the cooling system for the generators and data containers, sea water will also be used to cool the air-conditioning towers, with a 30%-40% power reduction expected.

URBANGROWTH NSW has appointed a new leader to run Newcastle's $400 million Hunter Street mall redevelopment, just a week after it revealed director Julie Rich had resigned.
In a joint initiative, UrbanGrowth NSW and Hunter Development Corporation agreed that David Antcliff should be transferred to the role last Monday, February 10.
Mr Antcliff was involved in the former BHP site remediation and Honeysuckle development over several years.
He joined Hunter Development Corporation in 2009 and was appointed to lead the corporation's Newcastle urban renewal strategy.
In his new position, Mr Antcliff will be in charge of the The Hunter Street mall redevelopment.
This includes plans for 400 apartments, up to 25,000 square metres of retail space and 5000 square metres of commercial space between the old David Jones building and Newcomen Street.

Not long ago my business partner and I were discussing how it would be very cool to start a "GroupOn" exclusively for the military community. Imagine the best offers reserved for those who are serving or who have served; better than what the rest of the public gets…I know, seems a bit like favortism – it is. And sure enough, not but a day later, I get pinged by Troop Swap.
TroopSwap is an eastcoast-based company that has developed the first national marketplace exclusively for the military. Their goal is to serve the military community by sourcing deals from premium brands that offer national shipping or have outlets across the country. And, they are actually hiring!
TroopSwap only hires military spouses in the local markets they serve in order to fight high underemployment within the military spouse community. They are currently hiring military spouses in San Diego and Washington DC. Even if you aren't in those two areas, send them your resume. They are accepting applications for military spouses with business development experience who will build relationships between TroopSwap and great national and regional brands. Their national level business development positions are not confined to one geographic location so they are encouraging qualified military spouses around the country to send their resumes to firstname.lastname@example.com.
A word of advice – be patient if there aren't deals in your area yet. TroopSwap has twenty-five thousand military community members on their platform today but over six thousand of their members are located in areas where they don't yet offer local deals.
Nonetheless, check them out! And if you are looking for a new career, tell them why you would be a great addition to their team!

beer pressure
I'd like to take a moment and pat myself on the back: I've come a long way from my Smirnoff Ice-drinking ways of freshman year of college (oooh doesn't that just make you want to gag?). Though this may be hard to believe, when we planned our October getaway, hubs and I didn't set out to have such a beer-centric European itinerary. It just happened, we swear it. When we arrived in Amsterdam, we had no choice but to visit the World of Heineken: From there, things spiraled quickly out of control. Seriously, check out what happened in Bruges: After our first pint on the square, we had to try the locally-brewed Zot (and eventually…View Post

I caught a big catfish once. :3 And tiny, tiny frogs, and a garter snake. (well, only the catfish with hook. XD) I prefer to use nets compared to hooks but you can't use nets for everything I guess.
Nets can somtimes put a lot of stress on an animal so yo u should only use them when nessary. In some areas for that reason they prefer you do not net fish. In my state it is legel to net fish but it advised not to and should be a certain kind of net. By the way how big was the cat fish? I have never cought one before.
Then I don't know what's worse, being trapped in a net for a few seconds (if you're a catch-and-release person who cares about the animal) or a hook possibly through the eye/gill.
Oh man that was yeeaars ago, back when I was in New York. I haven't gone fishing since I moved here (five years, man. FIVE T-T ) sooo I don't remember. XD But it was pretty big, it fit in both of my palms when my hands were slightly spread apart.
seems like it would be a nice catch. Were I live the state encourges fishermen to avaid even touching the fish in the eye or gill. actually hooks ar not ment to go in the eye. simply the fish just eats the bait you give a slight tug to set the hook,then reel it in. The encourage you to use a dehooker to gently take the hook out of the mouth. Often there is very little harm to both the fish and the fishermen.
It was, but my dad wouldn't let me handle it much, because, well, it's a catfish. XD
Oh, I know they're not MEANT to go in those places. XD I just meant that it does happen, and I think it's terrible. >:
yeah no one wants a hook in their eye. I also do not think it is the best when things like that happen. many rules across the US have been set to protect bothe the fish and other wildlife as well as the people. If you google Fishing in -put state here- one of the results will be the local website for the state with a list of rules,liscencing info,and sometimes local wildlife whatchcams. I live in the state of washington so this would all be in this site here.
another example would be... lets say... arizona! the website would be

Just the other day me and my friend took our kayaks out on the lake and fished from them. Caught 10 or bluegill and 3 walleye. The walleye were quite tasty. I find fishing with a partner is much more fun. That way they can back you up when you return home and tell crazy stories about that giant fish you caught but had to let go

Bahaha. XD I miss the little lake we went to to fish.
There were rabbits there, turtles (including snappers), PLENTY of fish on a good day, and rarely we saw raccoons.
(and lots of deer, but not in that particular area)

I tend to fish on Lake Delton a lot. Perhaps you've heard of it, it was on national news a couple years ago.. There was massive flooding in The Dells, and the lake blew out one of it's shores and ran into the Wisconsin River. I was standing in the lake when that happened actually
Watched the houses crumble into the water, pretty interesting story. Anyways, the lake was just a big muddy basin for a year or so. You spoke of missing your pond, so I figured I'd share about how I completely lost a lake. xD
Needless to say the fishing that year was pretty bad...

I just got back from clark lake. Its a nice and peacful lake with plants,birds everywere,a woodland trail etc. even though its not my usual o bald eagle holdind lake meridian. Just like lake meridian the visitors,(usally the ones that do live farther away)fill it with trash. Such as card board,boxes,bottle,bottle caps,plastic etc. Even with all that fish and other nature can still be found at every corner of that lake. But it makes a little less peacful for both the person and the nature of your trying to enjoy but are disterbed by all the trash. Anyway... overall we had very little succsess today,but theres always next time. Though somthing did literaly snap/bite my metal hook in half with a large tug! Other than that one moment we were only catching lakeweed that we threw back,and the water itself. My brother in law and I ended up calling it a day and came to my place for independance day dinner. Best of all are the fireworks. Its the one day of the year you can legaly and lawfully blow things up.
