« Race Preview and Fantasy Picks: Crown Royal 400 | Main | Kenseth frustrated as he teeters on Top 12 borderline »
By admin | May 1, 2009
By Richard Allen
Denny Hamlin totally dominated last year's Crown Royal 400. As a matter of fact, he led 381 of the first 382 laps. However, tire troubles sent him to the pits for an unscheduled stop. That opened the door for other drivers who had just moments before had seemed to be thoroughly beaten.
Two of those drivers who suddenly had a chance to gain an unexpected win were Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Kyle Busch.
After Hamlin's troubles, Junior seized the lead and held the first spot from lap 383 to lap 397. It looked as if the popular driver was about to score his first win while driving for Hendrick Motorsports and end a winless streak that dated back to this very race two years prior.
Busch had other ideas. Coming to lap 398 Busch drove under Earnhardt going into turn 3. The two cars made contact which sent Earnhardt spinning to the wall.
By the time of this race last year, Busch was already on his way to becoming the most disliked driver in NASCAR. At the time these two were racing hard for the win I had just commented to a friend that Busch could cement his status as the most hated man in racing by wrecking the sport's most popular driver. That is indeed what happened.
Busch went on to finish second behind Clint Bowyer. Earnhardt wound up a disappointing 15th.
"Kyle Busch has caused us to all need security to get out of this place,†a frustrated Junior remarked in a post race interview.
Busch went on to seemingly relish his role as NASCAR's villain. And as will sometimes be the case, he even gained some fans at the same time.
In Richmond's first race of 2008, it was Junior who was the victim and Busch who played the role of villain.
But as they say, what goes around comes around.
When the Sprint Cup Series returned to the Richmond International Raceway the initial villain was a tropical storm that roared up the east coast and forced the race to be put off by a day.
In that fall race on lap 212, the same two combatants who caused a stir in the spring found themselves racing for the lead again.
This time it was Busch's turn to go for a spin into the retaining wall.
Just like in the previous race, neither of the two went on to win. Jimmie Johnson took the checkered flag in front. Earnhardt came across in 4th while Busch was the one to be scored 15th at the end of 400 laps.
In the case of Richmond's fall race it was Busch who was victim and Junior who got to play the villain.
The Richmond area was the scene of several much more serious battles between 1861 and 1865. But in 2008, NASCAR's most beloved and most disliked characters did battle on the track. Each got to take a turn as the victim and the villain.
Depending on the viewer's perspective, either could have been seen as at fault in each incident. The reality is that in both cases it was just hard racing between two drivers who wanted to win.

These are mini-reviews of some of the movies currently playing in the Quad-Cities area.
"Oz the Great and Powerful" (PG, 130 min.). Like "The Phantom Menace" trilogy, "Oz the Great and Powerful" precedes a beloved classic on the fictional timeline, but makes full use of modern-day technology, which means everything's grander and more spectacular. Director Sam Raimi and his army of special-effects wizards have created a visually stunning film that makes good use of 3-D, at least in the first hour or so. The film finally breaks free of its beautiful but artificial trappings and becomes a story with heart in the final act. Thing is, we know Oz and its denizens are destined for a far greater adventure a little ways down the Yellow Brick Road. Rating: Two and a half stars(Richard Roeper).
"Dead Man Down" (R, 110 min.).Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace star as two damaged souls in "Dead Man Down," a moody twist of hyper-violent vengeance and heartache where death is hand-delivered, mercy is hard to come by and love is never easy. Rating: Two and a half stars(Los Angeles Times).
Following are Roger Ebert's mini-reviews of new video releases.
Coming to video Tuesday, March 19: "The Other Son" (PG-13, 105 min.). Two babies are born at about the same time in an Israeli hospital. One is Israeli. The other is Palestinian. They're evacuated during a missile attack, accidentally switched, and raised by each other's family for the next 18 years. When the mistake is discovered, the repercussions on both sides are fraught, and it's revealing how the fathers are quicker to think of their "wrong" sons as now belonging to the other side, while the mothers instinctively reach out to the boy to whom they gave birth, while still embracing their switched son. A portrait involving race, religion and identity. Directed and co-written by the French filmmaker Lorraine Levy. Rating: Three and a half stars.
"Zero Dark Thirty" (R, 157 min.). Two hours of watching a loner female CIA strategist who knows she is right -- and the payoff that she is. Jessica Chastain stars as Maya, who was right all along, providing the film with a timely heroine. Lots of murky action in the big capture and death, but lacking the split-second timing and relentless action of director Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker." These characters are less compelling, and the outcome less meaningful. Rating: Three stars.
"Rise of the Guardians" (PG, 89 min.). Hyperactive 3-D animated fantasy regarding the plight of Jack Frost, whom nobody seems able to see. Called upon in a crisis to help the Guardians (Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc.), he saves the day. Younger children like the breakneck action, magical ability to fly, and the young hero who has tired of being overlooked. Their parents and older siblings may find the 89-minute running time quite long enough. Rating: Three stars.
"Life of Pi" (PG, 125 min.). A miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. Inspired by a worldwide best-seller that seemed unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to "Life." The story involves the 227 days that its teenage hero (Suraj Sharma) spends drifting across the Pacific in the same lifeboat as a Bengal tiger. The movie quietly combines various religious traditions to enfold its story in the wonder of life. How remarkable that these two mammals, and the fish beneath them and birds above them, are all here. One of the year's best. Rating: Four stars.
"Hitchcock" (R, 98 min.). The second feature in a few months, after the made-for-HBO "The Girl," based on the life of the great man. The screenplay centers to a distracting degree on his lifelong marriage to the screenwriter and editor Alma Reville (Helen Mirren). As "Hitchcock" tells it, Reville acted as his chief adviser, censor, muse and friend, and steered him through the uncertain waters leading up to "Psycho." Anthony Hopkins wouldn't seem to be the first choice as Hitchcock, but I quickly accepted him. The makeup job they did on Hopkins was transformative. Rating: Three stars.
"Red Dawn" (PG-13, 93 min.). Opens with a hard-fought high school football game before the next day in Spokane, Wash., is interrupted by the thud of bombs. The young gridiron stars of the Wolverines race outside to see enemy aircraft flying overhead in formation, dropping paratroopers from the skies. An alarming sight, but the movie reassures us that an invasion by communist North Korea can be vanquished by the members of the team and their girlfriends, using mostly automatic weapons stolen from the North Koreans themselves. They're all instinctive combat fighters, even a cheerleader. Light on dialogue, heavy on mindless action. Rating: One and a half stars.
"The Intouchables" (R, 112 min.). Superficially likable but fundamentally bothersome parable about a paralyzed French millionaire (Francois Cluzet) and the jolly ex-con African immigrant (Omar Sy) he hires as his caregiver. Based on the assumption that what the stuck-up rich man needs is a little more soul and rhythm in his life -- and his first taste of marijuana, of course. The actors are engaging and many scenes effective, but the film is founded on questionable stereotypes. Rating: Two and a half stars.

Um its different then what you might relize
Brendons POV
Ryan loves me! Haha! I happy that he believes me, I really adore him. I just want him happy. So, because of my sweetheart we have decided to tell Jon and Spencer, I mean they are our friends and they love us. "Um you guys?" Ryan whispers. I sigh. The only other person on this bus is the bus driver and I doubt he will care, RyI said to myself. "Yeah?" they both say at the same time. "Well..um you see" Ryan starts, but I cover his mouth. He makes things too akaward. "You guys, me and Ryan are together, like as in making out and stuff, so there".
"Well, if you guys are happy then we are happy" Spencer said. We all look at Jon. "About time, I thought you would just keep teasing each other" Jon said. Spencer burst into laughter, followed by me and Ryan. "Good" Ryan said. I put my hands on his waist. "My girly Ry Guy" I whisper. he turns to me and looks upset.
"Im not a girl"
"You just have girly features"
"Im NOT a girl" he pouts.
"I like it you tiny waist and cute lips, and nose" I kiss his nose and he teases me by pulling away slightly.
"Well you have DSL!" I start laughing. "Ryan Ross I bet you wish I had dick sucking lips"
He giggles.
"Your laugh, yep thats girly too" I smile.
We walk down the bus to our bunk, yes I said bunk, not bunks. We share now. Im about to help him up, but he refuses. "I feel like being more intimate" and he grabs my hand. In the very back of the bus, theres a bed, smallish but big enough for me and him. I smile.
I pick him up. "Brendon I hate heights stop it!" I feel him wiggle. "Please Bden you will hurt yourself" He mumbles at his last effort to get down.
"Ry you weigh like 100 pounds, I could carry you with one hand"
We get to the bed and I lift him up higher and then fling him on the bed. I hear a thud.
Ryan whimpers. "Oh Ry" I look at him. I guess I threw him too hard and he hit the head board.
Oh god we have a show tonight, one bruise or cut or anything on us leads to massive untrue rumors I can see it now:
Ryan Ross self abusive
Ryan Ross is abused by girlfriend
and yeah they have gone there
Is Brendon Urie to blame for Ryan Ross Injury?
It turns out, Ryan bruises easy and now has a bruise on his cute little head. "Sweetie Im sorry, I need to be more careful".
"Brendon, Im all grown up I can take care of myself, you know dont worry. You dont have to care for me like you did when we were little" He says.
I remember when I first kinda liked him. We had no girls in our neighborhood so I made sure that me and Ryan would always play thing one game. I was 9 I had no idea what homosexuality was and neither did Ryan. I made sure Ryan was the Princess in our game, we'd play in the forest, He didnt complain because he liked me as a friend. As kids me and him were already mistaken for girls, really unattractive girls, but whatever. In our game I would kiss him on the cheek. I would blush we he did it to me. Ryan was just as shy as he is now and he would listin and do whatever you wnated him to. He would tell me everything. He even told me that he liked when I touched him (stop being dirty pervs), I dont know. He said I made him feel like he was worth something, that he had a reason to live.
I love that boy and he loves me and its been that way ever since we were nine.
I nod. "Remember that game we used to play?"
"When youd kiss me?"
"Yeah, you want to play?" I smirk.
He looks at my lips and then goes for it and we kiss passionately. I feel him cuddle against my body, he always feels so freaking cold, but I like it.
"I love you" He whispers. "I love you Ry Guy".
"One more thing" I say. He looks at me deeply with sleepy eyes "you better cover that bruise up you know what will get started from that, and if anyone asks about it, lie for our sake"
He nods nd closes his eyes. He just drop dead stunning when he is asleep. I lay there are cuddle agaist him as he rests.
I just keep thinking over and over in my head.
Brendon, Im all grown up I can take care of myself, you know dont worry. You dont have to care for me like you did when we were little

Because Season 2 is out. And I´m going to watch the first episode and the Dressing Awkward just right now, aw yiss.
But no, really. I´ve found two really cute Naruto Cubees since it´s early in the morning and I feel like something easy, but both just end up without a download.
Or I can´t open it, or the file is damaged. Is this my laptop?
If anyone just found a nice working download for a Naruto Uzumaki Cubee, I´d be really really really grateful! <3
It´s Anakin and DARTH AANG. Your argument is invalid.
I´m having too much fun papercrafting.

Project Description:
I love copper, but I always seem to make my copper pieces monochromatic. While wearing a purple shirt and a copper/gold toned bracelet, I had an aha! moment and decided amethyst and copper would be gorgeous together. I made the bracelet first and then used extra chain to make a versatile pair of earrings.

Simple, yet elegant
I wanted to make something with copper, and I was running out of ideas. Then I came across this design. I bought the items, and made it. It is beautiful, and nice for the spring. It is simple enough for daily use.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt Central is a long way from a powerhouse track school, but the Cougar program is making a name for itself in one event - the high jump.
In the previous decade, Bullitt Central had just two athletes advance to the Kentucky State Track and Field Championships - Rachel Haley (multiple times) and Nic Owens. Both advanced each time in the high jump with Owens finishing third in the boys' event in 2005.
The problem is much more serious than we ever imagined.
When one thinks of drowning incidents, seldom do we think about deaths being caused by people literally being trapped under water by infiltration pumps.
However, it has happened on numerous occasions.
Now, sit appears that some, if not all, of the four county swimming pools may not open this summer.
FAIRDALE - North Bullitt and Southern set up a rematch of last year's 24th District Softball Tournament championship game on Tuesday when both team's eased into the final on the strength of one big inning.
In the first game, North Bullitt took advantage of what at the time appeared to be a minor miscue by Bullitt Central to roll to a 6-0 victory.
Southern scored three times in the top of the third inning to take a 4-0 lead over Bullitt East and they went on to record a 6-2 win.
One Miscue Lifts NB
MOUNT WASHINGTON - An influx of young runners swelled the number of entrants in the Mount Washington Spring Festival Run to the largest field ever with 378 taking part.
The young runners were part of a push to develop an elementary school age event. Students and teachers participated from Pleasant Grove Elementary, Mount Washington Elementary and Old Mill Elementary.
The Elementary Fun Run covered half a mile. Those runners started after the regular runners and most were done before the top finishers got back to the finish line.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Mount Washington Middle School eighth-grader Andrew Okruch came through on his final throw Saturday to win the state championship in the discus at the Kentucky Track and Cross-Country Coaches Association Middle School State Championships.
The event was held at Paul Dunbar High School in Lexington.
Bullitt East track coach Lenny Raley took seven middle school athletes that will feed into his program to Lexington for the meet. All of the runners competed under the Bullitt East name.
FAIRDALE - Winning never gets old.
That's good for the Bullitt East baseball program as the red and gold picked up a sixth straight district baseball title on Thursday when they beat North Bullitt 9-1. It was the fourth consecutive win in the 24th District after the team won the last two titles in the old 29th District.
This year's senior class is the third to play for head coach Jeff Bowles and to never have lost a district tournament game.
LOUISVILLE - The Bullitt East Chargers had a tight game for a couple of innings Monday before pulling away for a 14-4 victory over Portland Christian in the opening round of the Sixth Region baseball tournament.
Coach Jeff Bowles' team advances to a 5 p.m. game on Wednesday against DeSales, which turned back Holy Cross behind the pitching of Bullitt Countian Jay Barnett.
The winner on Wednesday will advance to the championship game on Thursday at 8 p.m. at University of Louisville's Patterson Field, site of the semifinal match as well.
HODGENVILLE - The Bullitt East Chargers baseball team advances to the state tournament with a win in the deciding game of the Section 3 Semi-State Baseball Tournament.
Bullitt East took two out of three from Elizabethtown, winning the final game 6-0 Saturday night.
The win qualified Bullitt East for the state tournament hosted at Applebee's Park in Lexington. They are scheduled to play Thursday against South Laurel at 1:30 p.m.
Bullitt East enters the state tournament with a 30-8 record.
Justin Jones was named Semi-State Tournament MVP.
BROOKS — A northern Bullitt County man has been indicted on the charge of attempted murder.
John A. Burbank, 40, who entered a not guilty plea, has been indicted for attempted murder, first degree burglary and three counts of wanton endangerment.
He remains in the Bullitt County Detention Center on a $1 million bond.
According to the indictment, Burbank allegedly shot Timothy Gibson, a neighbor off Brooks Schoolhouse Road, on Feb. 19.
Burbank allegedly went into Gibson's home and then began shooting the victim.

Picture on the website was misleading. These are the equivalent of a Halloween Mask and they don't stand up on their own at all. I thought these were 3D, free-standing targets I could put out in a field.
If you think these are like the bigger Zombie Target that bleeds you are wrong, hollow thin plastic that will fall over in the slightest breeze, I am not sure if they bleed at all as they are very thin
No fault of sportsman's guide... but these are definitely not what I expected from the image. These are halo cheap plastic molded like those cheap Halloween face masks. I haven't shot them yet, but not sure they will be as exciting as I expected. Get them if you have money to blow but don't have high hopes of excitement.

It's pouring down rain, visibility is at best 60 feet, standing water is all over the road, and I love it. One of my favorite drivers, Hans Stuck, is a master in the rain. I flashback almost 20 years to watching him tear up the competition in IMSA GTO racing at Watkins Glen in rain just like this. He was in an Audi 90 race car, one of the most advanced the world had seen at the time. Lacking its turbo five-cylinder and all-wheel drive, the bigger engine rear-drive cars couldn't even come close to matching Stuck and Haywood's pace. I am in a modern Audi, still Quattro all-wheel drive, but this one has a direct-injection turbo four-cylinder. This particular car was tuned by Stasis Engineering and although subtle, the changes make it feel almost as precise as those IMSA cars of the past.
Normally I'd prefer a stock vehicle on rain-soaked roads. Softer spring and damping rates make a car more forgiving in the wet. An unmodified engine is generally less likely to leave you walking, and all-season factory tires tend to cut through water rather than float like extra-wide, low-profile summer tires. This Audi is different.
Just a few days earlier at a Yokohama-sponsored tire gig, this car proved itself an excellent track weapon. On the long, fast pavement of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Stasis A4 was one of the journalist-driven test mules. It survived the grueling weeklong ordeal and simply asked for more. And while it's one thing to set up a car for the dry, it often does not translate to less-than-perfect conditions. The Stasis car did, with a suspension supple enough to handle the wet. Stasis, in fact, has managed to create a suspension package for this car that rides as well as stock while providing more than one g of lateral grip in the dry. Not only are the limits high, the car is amazingly neutral. Around the speedway's infield track it was possible to get the car to rotate on corner entry and four-wheel drift on power coming out of turns. This is something that's hard to do even in Audi's own high-spec RS4. The balance is phenomenal and markedly better than the RS4, a big part of this being the fact that it has a four-cylinder up front instead of a V8, but also due to the hours Stasis engineers spent running laps around their headquarters at Infineon Raceway.
A stock 2.0T with software, intake and exhaust is normally pretty good, but the uphill section at Infineon must have been just too much to deal with. The engineers needed more boost and the only way to get that is with a bigger turbo. Stasis is all about factory functionality and reliability, so don't expect a turbo as big as your head hanging off the hot side of this engine. Instead, you'll find a K04 handling compressor duties instead of the factory K03. The end user won't see an increase in lag, but will see huge gains everywhere in the powerband. Since the K04's total boost isn't that much greater, the factory 10.5:1 compression ratio remains intact, meaning you still have stock power off boost. A new cast exhaust manifold, higher-flow injectors, a relocated and redesigned diverter valve, and associated hardware round out the MTF big turbo kit. The results are 320 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers actually give this A4 a better power-to-weight ratio than an S4, and it still returns 30 mpg on the highway.
Audi used the K04 on the original 225hp TT and still uses it on the S3 as well. Every time I drive a K04-equipped car, I have to wonder why we can't get them standard on 2.0T-equipped VWs and Audis in North America. I'm not saying these cars need 300 hp, but buying a car with 240 hp from the dealership that can see 300-plus with just software tuning would definitely get the interest of more enthusiasts.

As weather conditions decline with the storm, some Charlottesville hotels are preparing for the worst.
The Charlottesville Red Roof Inn is already accommodating some stranded travelers. They are making sure they are prepared for the storm and a possible power loss.
The Red Roof Inn is doing its part to prepare for the storm. They say that they are expecting a lot more people to check in as weather conditions get worse. They say they have lanterns left over from last year's hurricane and are prepared to line the stairwells with them if they lose power.
"Well the first thing we do is we put in rooms for our staff in case the power goes out or in case we need them here early tomorrow to prepare in case some travelers should come in off the highway," said Wilson Quointonce with the Red Roof Inn. "Sometimes for snowstorms or things like this, lots of people check in."
The hotel also has extra water and plans to have frequent meetings as the storm progresses. The Red Roof Inn says they will closely monitor the storm and will run emergency reports to keep track of everyone in the hotel.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Keep in mind when ordering these that not everyone you invite will attend- we ended up with a couple dozen left over! We did put some of the extras to use, though, by cutting off the flowers in the corner and using them to decorate other things."
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"These place cards are great! Very simple chic, I'm glad we went with the white shimmer paper it added a little extra glam."
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"Event: Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary This card is GORGEOUS!. The picture does not show the elegant characteristics of this card. Wow were we impressed. We are in love with Wedding Paper Divas."

In this study from France they looked at the role of the androgen receptor in myelin repair. As males are less likely to develop MS and if they do they tend to have a more severe disease, these observations have resulted in a lot of interest in the potential protective effects of androgens.
Chronic brain demyelination and oligodendrocyte depletion were induced in mice by cuprizone intoxication for 12 weeks. After this the mice were treated for six weeks with subcutaneous implants filled either with testosterone, 5α-DHT (5α-dihydrotestosterone) or 7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone.
They found that testosterone treatment efficiently stimulates the formation of new myelin and reverses myelin damage in chronic demyelination brain lesions. Also, the number of activated astrocytes and microglial cells returned to low control levels, indicating a reduction of neuroinflammatory responses.
The study group also showed that the neural brain androgen receptor is required for the remyelination effect of testosterone and the presence of the receptor in microglia and in peripheral tissue is not sufficient to enhance remyelination. Therefore, this data demonstrates the efficacy of androgens as remyelinating agents and the potential of the brain androgen receptor as a promising drug target for remyelinating therapy.

Rangers: The Rangers have won eight of their last nine meetings with the Hurricanes, including both this season. New York has outscored Carolina 30-18 over their past nine games against one another. This year the Rangers skated to a 2-1 shootout victory over the 'Canes at Madison Square Garden on March 18th before their 4-1 road victory on April 6th which was highlighted by Henrik Lundqvist's 48-save performance. The Rangers have won each of their last four visits to Raleigh, and six of their last seven.
Hurricanes: Carolina has dressed 35 different players---including three goalies---through 46 games this season, and that number will rise Thursday when Jared Staal makes his NHL debut. Only four players have appeared in every game so far this season---Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Jay Harrison, and Jiri Tlusty, while two players have appeared in only one game---including Zach Boychuk, who was claimed by three different teams off waivers this season.

Gongora is a powerful sorcerer, one of the five Immortals sent to this world in order to discover what is eroding theirs. After a thousand years, he becomes twisted by his own emotions and tries to remain in this world to become its ruler. He starts by sealing the memories of the other four Immortals( Kaim, Seth, Ming, and Sarah) and puts them in positions for later use. He is an important part of early portion in the game's storyline by acting as a member of the Council. Gongora assigns Jansen to join Kaim and Seth on their first mission to investigate the Grand Staff, which is supposed ly leaking magical energy. He gives Jansen the order to, if Kaim or Seth recover any of their memories, hit them with a magic pearl which will induce further amnesia; offering Jansen triple his pay to do so. It is later discovered that Gongora was only using Jansen. By using 'Spy Eyes', Gongora was able to see what Jansen saw. This causes Jansen, Seth, and Kaim to be attacked by Kakanas, but they end up getting some help from Cooke and Mack.
Gongora manipulates Tolten further in the game, pushing him to inadvertently kill the head of the Uhran Council, Roxian, when Roxian makes a mud doll to kill him, to reinstate the monarchy. Unbeknownst to Tolten, the person he killed was just a puppet of Gongora. After killing the head of the Council himself, Gongora manipulates Tolten to broadcast to the world that Tolten will be assuming the throne as the new king of Uhra. Tolten, naively believing that Gongora is a sincere adviser, makes Gongora his second in command.
When the party arrives at Experimental Staff, It is discovered that Gongora is taking parts from Experimental Staff to add to Grand Staff, thusly making it better. Eventually, the party finds Gongora, leading into the first boss fight against Gongora. This ends with Gongora using a move, Pain Surge. After the party has fallen, Tolten arrives and is horrified. When Gongora explains that they were "A threat to your Majesty's life", Tolten is still shocked since in the group is the Queen of Numara, Ming, and two children. After leaving Experimental Staff with Tolten, Gongora has it self-destruct. Lirum's spirit revives Cooke and Mack, who then revive the others. They then escape Experimental Staff on the boat and return to Saman.
Not long after Gongora is appointed as Totlen's adviser - during a meeting Tolten is attending with Queen Ming of Numara and King Mars of Gohtza - Gongora announces that Tolten was assassinated, and lets it be known that he will become his successor and take the throne of Uhra. After Tolten's death is announced, Gongora boards Grand Staff, and with the help of six Dark Acolytes, launches an attack on Gohtza. This attack decimates a huge portion of the Gohtzan military, as well as killing many of the inhabitants of Gohtza; including the King. Seth escaped with Tolten using his emergency transport, while Ming and Jansen use magic to survive after Gongora froze all of Gohtza.
Then back in Uhra, unaware of Tolten's survival by an emergency transport, Gongora claims that Tolten chose him as his sucessor to the throne, he then plans to sacrafice Sed, the son of Seth, and his pirates to become The King of Uhra. During that time Tolten and Seth attempt to rescue Sed during a Gohtzan reprisal for the attack by Grand Staff. Sed is freed by Seth moments before Gongora creats a multitude of of magic beasts to completely destroy the Gohtzan military. Gongora then Boards Grand Staff and flys it back to The Sea of Baus.
The Immortals arrive at Grand Staff, but fail to meet up with Gongora, who flies off in the upper half. The lower base sinks, and the party jumps off luckily on the White Boa to escape. When a large beam of magical energy emerges from the ocean, the party realises that Gongora intends to use Grand Staff to align the stars with the Tower of Mirrors, and then use Grand Staff to destroy the mirrors, breaking the link between the two worlds. They use the Nautilus to crash into and board the airborne Grand Staff and finally catch up to Gongora, who proceeds to possess Jansen by means of a past contract spell and uses him like a puppet against the party; although Gongora himself assertively ends the fight. Grand Staff then collides with the Tower of Mirrors and Gongora releases Jansen and escapes to the Tower. The party then races down Grand Staff to arrive at the Nautilus, where they escape Grand Staff.
Once in the tower, Gongora absorbs the light from the other world and becomes a dark and less human-like figure, whilst the other immortals have become mortals in these rays. The now self-proclaimed god battles the Immortals while the Mortals create a shield of darkness covering the light and weakening Gongora. After the battle, Gongora is severely weakened, yet manages to hold the Mortals in the barrier they have created, isolating them to the exposure of the deadly light from the mirrors. Blackmailing Kaim into saving them by destroying the mirrors himself, he is then tackled and restrained by an enraged Seth who, pleading haste to Kaim, sacrifices herself to send Gongora back without escape. Kaim reluctantly destroys the mirror by throwing Gongora's staff into it; sending Gongora, along with Seth, back to the immortal's world and sealing them off permanently.

No one wants to be the fat kid. Not you, not me, not 12-year-old Marshall Reid.
At the age of ten, Marshall proposed a summer family project: to get healthy. He told his mom that he wanted to try "the opposite of Super Size Me," a documentary about eating McDonald's each day for a month.
As an obese child, Marshall had become the object of classmates' ridicule and felt like he couldn't keep up in sports. He says, "I always pulled on my clothes to keep them from creeping up on my stomach… I just felt like something had to change because I was getting really unhappy."
Marshall's mom consented to the month-long project to improve the family's eating habits. Marshall kept a journal and recorded video clips throughout the process, which were used to create the book "Portion Size Me: A Kid-Driven Plan to a Healthier Family."
This workbook-style publication contains accounts of his experience along with tips, tricks and recipes for helping other kids follow in his footsteps.
Marshall developed his healthy-family-project plan with his mom, Alex Reid. They set six guidelines to follow based on common sense. Those include:
Part of Marshall's challenge was to persuade his (then) 13-year-old sister to participate in his family project. With no weight problem and a serious penchant for junk foods, she's been harder to convert. Once he and his mom made the decision to continue the plan beyond a month, Marshall also had to convince his dad to comply when he returned home from a tour of duty in Iraq.
Now, two years later, Marshall is no longer categorized as obese and says he has far more energy as a result of his new lifestyle. He hasn't told many people at school about his book, with one exception. He says, "I haven't told a lot of my classmates. I feel like they'll treat me differently. But I'll tell bullies, hoping they'll treat me differently!"
The Reid family is currently on a summer cross-country tour spreading the word about the book. In each of the 30 cities they visit, Marshall is speaking to groups of kids about his experience and hosting "Snack Wars," a healthy cooking challenge for kids based on the show "Chopped." Marshall says he's journaling their travels for a possible second book.
After this experience, which got him cooking, Marshall says he'd like to be a chef one day. He would "take the best of all the restaurants and make an ultra-awesome restaurant."
For more information about Marshall's experience and to see his videos, visit the Portion Size Me website and Facebook page.

FSO ReadLine && EOF?
Hey everyone, need some insight into FSO ReadLine, please.
I want to use the FSO (File System Object) ReadLine to read a text file. As each line is read, I want to assign that
particular text line to a variable. How do I know when the contents of the text file is at the "End Of File (EOF)"?
And, what would be the best way to set up these variables?
Since I don't know how many lines might be in the text file, how can I properly prepare to create variables
"on the fly" as these lines are read (array?) ?
TIA for your time and help!
ReadLine And Tabs
I have a problem. When I tell the program to do something it it finds a line with tabs, it just doesn't find it.
Here's the line:
codeToFind = "@[""a_b""] // c"
it doesn't find this. But when I take out the tab and change the text file it's searching appropriately, it does find it. What's going on? Is there certain code needed to tell it that tabs are there other than just copying and pasting the code from the file into the program?
p.s. I'm using inputFile.ReadLine to read the file
p.p.s. How can I get a progress bar to show how much of the file has been read?
ReadLine Problem
I read file using textstream object and its method ReadLine.But with some files it seems that it doesn't get newLine character.Instead it read many lines at once and a little square appears at the place of linefeed.
Does anybody have an idea where the problem comes from?
Readline Issues
I'm using FSO to populate an array. This works fine in Access 2003, but 2000 and 2002 jumble all the readline into the first array. The textfile has 5+ lines.
Any suggestions?
Here's the code:
Erase strEmail
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.OpenTextFile(strPath, ForReading)
strEmail(1) = f.readline
strEmail(2) = f.readline
strEmail(3) = f.readline
strEmail(4) = f.readline
strEmail(5) = f.ReadAll
Set fs = Nothing
Continue ReadLine?
Excuse me..appreciate for your big help here..
Question: My program below only able to detect the first keyword and then terminate the program. How can I let my program to continue to read the remaining line so that it will be able to detect the other keywords that exist in a file?

Dim InStream As TextStream
TestFile = "a: ext1.txt"
Set InStream = Fsys.OpenTextFile(TestFile, 1, False, False)
While InStream.AtEndOfStream = False

How Do I Get This >ReadLine To Work In The Code Below
I am new to vb. I am working on this and need help in getting it to work.
Below is how my code looks like. I am trying to read data from an excel spreadsheet on a floppy disk. I am trying to display it based on my search criteria on a reults form. I am frustrated after trying for a whole week and still cannot get it to work.
It keeps erroring at the .ReadLine, the error says -
[object does'nt support this property or method]
Could somebody look in the code to see what I am doing wrong.
I will appreciate help--thanks

ReadLine Method On A String Instead Of A File?
I have created a file that I use as my program's config file and I use the Readline method to read in the startup variables.
Now I have encrypted the file, so my program now has to unencrypt it and THEN use the WriteLine method to make a new file and then the Readline method again to get the varibles since I do 1 varaible per line. These leaves me volnurable since now the program has to write the config settings to a file in between reading it an encrypting it back again. There MUST be a better way, how can I use the ReadLine method on a string once I have unencrypted it in memory instead of a file?

*RESOLVED* Trim Function Objfile.readline
I am using scripting/file system objects to read lines from text file...
one of my lines is a few characters long but has spaces afterwards...
I inserted a breakpoint in the code to see what objfile.readline was coming back with and its like the characters of the line and where the spaces are square boxes (denoting the space character)...
so when I go to perform the Trim function, it will not trim off the "spaces" because it thinks that there is a box there technically in the string (even though when you go to display it in a msgbox or something it doesn't show the box ... can i get it to trim off this "box" so it just has the characters?
VB Code:
Private Sub LoadArray(ByVal scanfile As String)Dim objfile As Scripting.TextStreamDim objfso As New Scripting.FileSystemObjectDim strline As StringSet objfile = objfso.OpenTextFile(scanfile, ForReading)Do Until objfile.AtEndOfStream strline = objfile.ReadLine strline = Trim(strline)'etc etc
Thanks for the ideas.
Garbage Characters Returned While Performing A Readline On An XML File.
I'm writing code to extract information from backup logs generated by Backup Exec 9.x. The backup logs are in the form of XML files. When I do a readline on the file I get garbage back where every other character is a little square.
Here is a snippet of an XML file from the backup exec logs
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<joblog><job_log_version version="1.0"/>
</filler><server>Job server: BACKUPSERV
</server><name>Job name: FILESERV - FULL
</name><start_time>Job started: Sunday, August 29, 2004 at 6:00:05 AM
</start_time><type>Job type: Backup
</type><log_name>Job Log: BEX02369.xml
If I do a readline on the job server line (4th line in snippett above) I see the following assigned to the variable in the debugger
< / f i l l e r > < s e r v e r > J o b s e r v e r : B A C K U P S E R V
The data is there but it puts all those little squares in between each character.
Can anyone help me with this?
Command Line StdOut Truncating ReadLine After "&&"
Command Line StdOut Truncating ReadLine After "&"
I am having a problem where I have to execute a .BAT file and read the text stream it returns. The problem is that the lines it returns have a "&" in them and the ReadLine is truncating the text after the "&". For example, when the line I expect to receive back is "Peter & Mary", all I get back is "Peter". Is there a way to have the entire line returned by the ReadLine? Hopefully, preserving most of my original code.
I have included the basic Visual Basic and .BAT code below. You will also need to add the "Windows Script Host Object Models" reference and the .bat file was called "RetrieveNames.bat". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It was a bold response to skyrocketing health insurance premiums. President Barack Obama would give federal authorities the power to block unreasonable rate hikes.
Yet when Democrats unveiled the final, incarnation of their health care bill this week, the proposal was nowhere to be found.
Ditto with several Republican ideas that Obama had said he wanted to include after a televised bipartisan summit last month, including a plan by Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma to send investigators disguised as patients to hospitals in search of waste, fraud and abuse.
And those "special deals" that Obama railed against and said he wanted to eliminate? With the exception of two of the most notorious — extra Medicaid money for Nebraska and a carve-out for Florida seniors faced with losing certain extra Medicare benefits — they are all still there.
For the White House, these were the latest unfulfilled commitments related to Obama's health care proposal, starting with his campaign promise to let C-SPAN cameras film negotiations over the bill. Obama also backed down with little apparent regret on his support for a new government-run insurance plan as part of the legislation, a liberal priority.
But was it all the president's doing?
In the cases of the insurance rate authority, the Republican ideas and the special deals, it came down to Obama making promises that Congress didn't keep. He can propose whatever he wants, but it's up to Congress to enshrine it into law.
Arguably, the president could have foreseen that outcome, and was making a low-risk p.r. move by floating proposals — dismissed by critics as insubstantial anyway — whose demise he couldn't be blamed for.
While the White House worked hard to trumpet Obama's plans for the rate authority, his embrace of bipartisanship and his opposition to special deals, the administration hardly advertised the lack of follow-through. Understandable, certainly, but perhaps not the new way of doing business that Obama promised to bring to Washington.
Removing the special deals ran into opposition from powerful lawmakers including Sens. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Max Baucus, D-Mont. The rate-limiting authority and the Republican ideas were left out of the legislation because the bill is going to be considered under special filibuster-proof Senate rules that prohibit provisions that don't have a budgetary impact, and those ideas don't fit in.
"There are a number of proposals that the president wanted to incorporate into the legislation including additional Republican proposals, but the parliamentarian ruled against allowing those proposals to be included," said White House spokesman Reid Cherlin. "We would like to enact those proposals in separate legislation in the coming months. In the meantime, some important Republican measures remain."
Of the four main Republican ideas Obama endorsed, only one made it into the final bill — a proposal embraced by Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa to bump up payments to primary care physicians under Medicaid. A proposal to expand the use of health savings accounts was rejected out of hand by congressional Democrats, while a plan to increase funding for medical malpractice reform projects was also determined to be undoable under fast-track Senate rules.
Coburn's spokesman, John Hart, complained that Democrats "found time to buy votes with earmarks but couldn't include bipartisan ideas endorsed by President Obama." House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, had dismissed the GOP ideas Obama endorsed as "bread crumbs" sprinkled atop the health bill — and now even most of those bread crumbs are blown away.
At the same time, Baucus got to keep a provision to give Medicare benefits to asbestos-sickened residents of Libby, Mont., and Dodd still has one that could result in a new hospital being built at the University of Connecticut. Both senators argue their special deals aren't really special deals, because the Medicare provision could apply to other places where public health emergencies are declared, and other sites outside of Connecticut could be eligible for the hospital.
Most of the provisions of the health care bill don't kick in until 2014, so Obama still has time to make good on everything he promised — or try to get Congress to do so.
"To hold the president accountable for every single provision he advocates for is simply unreasonable," said Alec Vachon, a health policy consultant and former Republican Capitol Hill aide. "Some things aren't in there because the members of Congress who have the votes don't want it. Some things aren't in there because congressional rules which Republicans will be enforcing won't allow it. But Democrats will have three years to tinker with health reform before universal coverage goes live."

4 Responses to "Final health care plan falls short of Obama's promises"
True, the bill is flawed. It should be considered as a work in progress, which needs improving. I believe that one provision requires insurers to pay 85% of premiums collected to paying medical bills. This will limit their profits, and can be increased at a later date.
Yeah , you do know that according to the insurance industry they only have a 2
% profit margin ? Of course they also are allowed to make up their own formula for what is profit . The rate you mentioned is only for the largest groups , the smaller groups in these new scam collectives will have a 20% allowable margin . But don't worry , I'm confident the oversight will be fierce . All they now have to do is jack the rates up and up go the profits with them , who's going to stop that ? Plus , they will now be subsidized with our tax money so the actual rates won't be as noticeable to most policy holders , we'll be paying them right out of the treasury . Sounds like a great deal to me , for the insurance industry .
The time for democrats to stand up for the Constitution has already expired. I've always said if the shoe fits wear it. We have been sold out.
A work in progress? How preposterous, like the loss of habeas corpus, or the patriot act? People wake up you have been had.
I just wish this grinning jackass would stop worrying himself sick about republican ideas and perhaps put maybe one or two democratic ideas in this sorry excuse for a bill . The only " ideas " in this bill seem to be to force us into the tender grasp of the insurance industry and allow them access to the treasury with no real rules or strings attached . I know , I know , the insurance industry hates this bill . You can tell by all the adds etc they've been running against it . I know they must be , I just seem to have missed them . Then of course there was the little ruse of raising the rates in California , just what you would expect from an industry trying to fight the implementation of a bill they hate . Yeah , just pull a stunt like that right at a critical juncture to give the proponents of the hated bill ammunition , yep , they're that stupid . They did supposedly run some adds ( a couple of million dollars worth ) on some cable channel somewhere , anybody see those ? I didn't either . That's certainly what one would expect from a multi billion dollar corrupt industry fighting tooth and nail to kill a feared and hated piece of legislation . The only real fight going on here is the fight for corporate money between the republicans and the new third way corporate democrats . I knew as soon as Obama started putting together his administration we'd been had , not a liberal in sight , all these guys would be perfectly comfortable in a republican administration. One more thing , has anyone else noticed that the so called liberal talkers and commentators ( except for a few ) have become nothing but Obama cheerleaders ? Schultz and Miller and that little smart aleck twerp Hal Sparks etc are marching lockstep waving pompoms making excuses for his lies and deceit , it's sickening , I can hardly listen to them anymore . If a liberal calls in and dares to bring any of these double cross's up they are berated and essentially dismissed as left wing liberal extremists . They might as well be talking to right wing radio . It seems that the corporate boys have gained complete control of both right wing media and what used to be liberal media with a few and declining number of exceptions . We are in big trouble people .

Atlanta Tennis Championships (6)
Coverage of the inaugural ATP World Tour 250 Atlanta Tennis Championships in Georgia, USA - July 19-25, 2010
Final Thoughts from AtlantaWritten by Christina Ward
First Time Lucky
Scott Lipsky and Rajeev Ram took on Rohan Bopanna and Kristof Vliegen in the Doubles Final. This was the first tournament together for both teams of finalists. Lipsky's serve, which was a slight liability in the pair's semifinal match, was more consistent today neither American was broken. In the second set tiebreak, Lipsky and Ram were up 4-2 and close to winning the match when they started to play more tentatively; they did not win another point in the tiebreak. This was the first set that Lipsky and Ram lost all week. Both teams saved a match point in the super tiebreak before Lipsky and Ram won, 6-3, 6-7(4), 12-10. This was the first title of the year for both players. Ram said that he and Lipsky compliment each other's game well, and that they hope to play again together soon. All the players were very appreciative of the large crowd that came out to watch the Doubles Final and remarked on how that is not always the case at other tournaments.
Simply the Best
Mardy Fish won, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(4) in 2 hours and 45 minutes over John Isner in the fourth all-American ATP World Tour Final of the year. Fish, who was 4-11 in tour finals coming into this match, started off with many unforced errors and two double faults to drop serve at 3-4 in the first set. In the second and third sets Isner's level started to decline in the oppressive heat and Fish was able to take control of the match. He appeared to be on his way to the win when he was broken at love serving at 3-1 in the third set. In the third set tiebreak, Fish took an insurmountable 4-0 lead. Isner won the next three points, but was not able to come back. Fish was definitely the best player of the week, having not lost a set heading into the Final, and it was no surprise that he won. Following up on a title in Newport two weeks ago, Fish extended his match streak to ten, a career best for him. This is his fifth title win.
Thunder and LightningWritten by Christina Ward
Strong Serves
John Isner and Kevin Anderson played the first semifinal during yet another scorchingly hot afternoon. Isner faced two break points in his opening service game but held after serving three straight aces. Not surprisingly, the match did not have many rallies. Both players have thunderous serves and tried to conserve energy in the hot weather. Isner was very listless in the heat and made four double faults late in the second set. And Anderson said after the match that he was sweating through his shoes and slipping on the court.
After winning the first set 6-3, Isner was able to save two set points at 4-5 and at 5-6 in the second set. Anderson saved one match point at 6-7 in the tiebreak and won the next two points to send the match to a third set. Anderson was 0-7 on break point chances while Isner went two for two. Isner broke at 4-3 in the third set when Anderson hit only his second double fault of the match. The American said he was happy when the clouds blocked the sun and cooled the temperatures considerably at the beginning of the third set. Isner won just in time. The lightning siren went off just as he reached match point.
Quarterfinal Day in AtlantaWritten by Christina Ward
Taking Chances
Kevin Anderson only needed one break of serve in each set to defeat Lukas Lacko 6-3, 6-4, in the Quarterfinals on Friday. Anderson was two for two on break point chances while Lacko was not able to reach a break point on Anderson's serve. Lacko did not play a poor match, but he was not as sharp with his groundstrokes as he was in his upset of Lleyton Hewitt in the previous round. Anderson will play in his first semifinal since he made the Final in Las Vegas in 2008 as a qualifier.
Lost Opportunities
Jonathan Erlich and Janko Tipsarevic were up a set and a break in their doubles quarterfinal match against Rohan Bopanna and Kristof Vliegen before losing 3-6, 7-6(9), 10-8. In the second set tiebreak, Erlich and Tipsarevic had two match points and Erlich double-faulted on one of them. They also had a 4-1 lead in the supertiebreak but Bopanna and Vliegen went on to win eight of the next nine points. Down 5-9, Erlich and Tipsarevic almost made a comeback, saving three match points. However, the opponents were able to take the match on their own serve, converting on the fourth match point.
Beat the HeatWritten by Christina Ward
Today was the hottest day of the week so far. Xavier Malisse and Illya Marchenko were especially affected by the heat. Both players were listless and mainly worried about keeping the ball in play. After every point they would hide in the shade at the back of the court. The match was close for a straight sets victory, but Malisse was a little more aggressive and Marchenko played an error-filled game at 2-1 in the second set to get broken after taking a medical timeout for the heat. The Belgian won, 6-3. 6-3.
Staying Aggressive
Andy Roddick started off his match against Rajeev Ram with aggressive groundstrokes and Ram was unable to make a dent in Roddick's service games. In the second set, Roddick played more passively, and his opponent took advantage of that by winning the set in a tiebreak. Roddick was able to save all four break points against his serve, including two in the first game of the third set. Roddick said that the heat caused his left foot to swell a little, but added that it had happened before and is manageable. It was not the cleanest match Roddick ever played, but he played well enough to win and reach the quarterfinals.

I think this is a pretty good idea. Of course, being the klutz that I am, I would end up flinging meat at anyone below.
Ditto. My first reaction is that me or the fiancee are gonna wind up raining hot dogs and wing flings on our neighbors.
And lets not forget the birds I'm sure they like hotdogs as well.
"...me or the fiancee are gonna wind up raining hot dogs and wing flings on our neighbors"
I need to move and become your downstair neighbors :D
Careful, Kids. In my current State it is against the law to have open flame within ten feet of a multifamily structure - punishable by an automatic $500 fine and/or 6 months in jail.
I would be worried about the sides of this grill getting hot and people accidentally bumping into it. Anybody remember The Cornballer on Arrested Development?
Ah ha ha! the cornballer!!yes! *sighs* gotta love it.

Dealers face a lot of competition, but it's not clear who the bigger threat is: mass merchants or dealers that are lowballers.

I'm well aware that they aren't literally needed to raid in WoW, otherwise the default UI would already have them. But by my experience if you don't have them you're not allowed into raid groups. Period. Elitist snobbery, pure and simple, and AVR was already catching on with this exact crowd like a fast-moving plague.

Hiccup: Dad, I can't kill dragons.Based very loosely on the book series of the same name, How To Train Your Dragon is a 3D DreamWorks Animation picture released in 2010, directed by Chris Sanders and DeBlois. The protagonist, Hiccup, is a young Viking boy who lives on the island of Berk, where men are tough, women are tougher, and dragons are evil, destructive, livestock-pillaging pests that must be destroyed on sight. Hiccup wants to prove his worth — particularly to his father Stoick, the Viking chief — but he is gawky and brainy in a society that values brawn.Then one night during a raid, Hiccup manages to bring down the most elusive, feared dragon of all: a Night Fury. Of course, nobody believes him (no one's ever seen one, much less injured it), so Hiccup has to go alone to find the creature so he can kill it and prove his claim. But when he finds the crippled dragon, all he can see is a wounded, frightened animal. He frees the dragon, which he names Toothless, and thus begins a clandestine friendship. As Hiccup nurses Toothless back to health, they form a bond of trust, and ultimately they become an inseparable flying, fighting pair — just in time for an even greater monster to appear.It was later followed up with a short special episode, called The Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon. Gobber, Hiccup and the other Viking teens head out to hunt down a supposed renegade dragon called the Boneknapper, a dragon that wears bones as armor. An additional pair of shorts, Gift of the Night Fury and Book of Dragons are being bundled together, presumably acting as a Christmas Special.Jeffery Katzenberg announced that this is Dreamworks' new franchise, apparently now dubbed with the more flexible title, Dragons. Further additions to the franchise include a TV series on Cartoon Network, titled Dragons: Riders of Berk and a theatrical sequel, titled How to Train Your Dragon 2 in 2014, with another sequel set for 2016.A live touring show, How to Train Your Dragon Arena Spectacular is currently on tour and an online computer simulation in development for an as-of-yet unknown time.For the book series, go here.

Tisdale, Cabernet Sauvignon, California
Price: $5 per bottle
This was a very good wine to drink. It was a medium body red wine with cherry tones. The cherry was found on both the nose and the taste buds. It was very smooth with no tannins and a nice finish. The label said "Cabernet Sauvignon", but it did not have the characteristics I like in a Cabernet . It is a very good red table wine for every day drinking. This is a easy drinking wine either with food or will out.
I will be buying another bottle or two in the future.
