Captain Trouble Kelp is having thoughts that would be considered mutiny if he was in the military. Since he's under the command of Ark Sool, however, it's just common sense talking. The LEP is in f...
This story is rate PG-13 because of the swearing and violence. Sprites swear heavily (really, just read the first book if you don't believe me) and sprites featue heavily in this fanfic. As for the violence, it's no more than in a regular Artemis Fowl book, but just to be on the safe side I might move the rating up to R.
Finally, I've mis-placed my copies of The Opal Deception and The Last Colony, so I am probably spelling Sool's name wrong. If I am, please tell me, so that I may fix it. Thank you.
Tunnel 41
Outskirts of Haven City
The trouble, Captain Trouble Kelp decided, as he stunned the final goblin, only to turn around to see five more rushing at him in the dark tunnel, was that their bloody computers had crashed /a-bloody-gain/. He backed up quickly, as he tried to set his Neutrino 2000 to a wide burst setting that the newer Neutrinos had. You could do it with the 2000s if you jimmied the settings a bit.
A fireball soared through the air, and impacted on his right hand. He dropped the gun, swearing, and made a dive for cover as more fireballs sailed to where he had been. The only problem was that in this dark passage there was no cover.
The magna strips had never been installed in this section. It wasn't as derelict as some areas of Haven-like the one his squad had just come from, chasing the goblin gang only to run into a mob of their cronies in this perfectly clear and now horribly open tunnel.
Ideally, the set-up should have been perfect. Ideally, of course, the Retrieval squads wouldn't be at half strength. Six assorted elves, sprites, and one gnome against about fifty gods-damned fireballing goblins didn't stand a chance. And his sprite lieutenant's language was rubbing off on Trouble, which didn't exactly help.
But Captain Kelp wasn't a LEPretrieval captain for nothing. There was cover in the tunnel, you just had to think laterally, and hope that you had the most vital element on your side. Surprise.
He dove into the center of the pack of five goblins and lashed out with everything he had. His hands and feet became a blur of back, and is buzz baton crackled thought the air, electricity arching behind it, he was moving so fast. One fist connected with a scaley head, and then his opposite booted foot caught another reptile in the gut. His elbow rammed the idiot behind him in the nose. Finally, the goblin in front of him faced the buzz baton coming under his chin in an upper cut that Trouble would remember with a warm tingly feeling of satisfaction for a long time to come.
And then surprise wasn't working for him anymore, and a fireball hit him square in the chest. His suit insulated him from the skin melting heat, but the force of the magical blow knocked him backwards, just as he heard Lieutenant Hertz scream into the mouth piece: "He's clear, and there're more of the hellspawn comin' outta the damn pipes!"
And then there was an explosion. The roof came down on Trouble's helmeted ears, and woud have crushed him flat if Hertz hadn't zoomed in at the last second, and pulled him from under the rocks that were tumbling from the ceiling.
When Captain Kelp came down from the adrenaline high he was sitting on a ledge far up in the tunnel walls, swinging his heels next to Fritz Hertz. The sprite had his helmet up, and was grinning. Kelp stopped grinning back as the ringing in his ears receded. His scanners told him that they had all fifteen of the goblins that had not either been captured already, or run away, boxed in by two walls of rock and dirt. He looked behind him for Corporal Rass, who was carefully replacing the detonation equipment in the proper bags and cases that he stored about his person. The gnome was very careful about his equipment, especially since the commander had begun to cut the weapons budget.
"Good job, Rass," Trouble told his demolitions expert, definitely meaning it. "Hertz got you up here?"
"Aye," Rass had been Atlantis raised, and nautical jargon tended to get wound up with policeman's cant at stressful times. "We came out of corridor 56 first, with Grevil on our tails. He kept the heat off us long enough for the lieutenant to get me up here. Old catwalk for Magna strip repairs."
The gnome was being strangely tight lipped for his race, but that was why Trouble liked him. Rass was old, but he was competent, and knew explosions like no one else. He wasn't your average gnome, obsessed with procedure, although like all gnomes he was highly conservative, and didn't like things like change, or public displays of emotion.
"Damage report Lieutenant Hertz," Kelp turned to his second-in-command.
"Grevil's dead," the sprite reported flatly. "Silverweed has severe burns, and will need medics even with his own magic, both Grenza and Tiff are dry from healing themselves, and Tiff's out cold, while Grenz has some interesting scaring on his wings now."
"D'Arvit," Trouble said tonelessly. It was what you said at times like this. Your teammates were down, and there was nothing else that you could do or say as officers of the law, and fairies who knew that it could have been worse.
"Got some good news," Hertz said, brightening. It's hard to keep a sprite's cavalier attitude down. "Got medics arriving, and some pixie has managed to patch the computers together again, so we're reconnected to Police Plaza. They'll be a couple of vans arriving to take these guys into custody. Oh, and Commander Sool-," Hertz broke off, seeing the darkening complexion of Trouble's face under his helmet, "can go to Hell," Hertz finished loyally.
"I'll go report to Sool when the medics arrive," the elf said grimly. He didn't bother to give the officer his rank. "That's half our squad down, in just one mission, because we didn't have enough People to begin with, and we don't have Foaly's computers anymore! That damned bureaucratic bum dragging stick-in-the-mud gnome! Sorry Rass," Trouble remembered belatedly.
The gnome shrugged. "Why? I agree. But now is a good time to remind you now that the computers are up again-,"
"Everything we say can be heard," Trouble finished disgustedly. "And just when I was considering congratulating that pixie for making some headway with Foaly's mess."
"You should try anyway, Captain," Hertz grinned. "They say the civi is a pretty hot babe."
"No thanks, I'll leave it to you," Captain Kelp replied. Female pixies had mental problems in his experience.
Police Plaza
Haven City
Kelp rubbed the final flakes of dead skin off his ears as he exited the locker room. He was going down to the mess, get a bite to eat, and then go to his apartment. He was too tired to do anything else. The report to Sool had been unpleasant. Trouble had never realized how hard it was to refrain from calling your superior an idiot. Even Cudgeon hadn't been this short-sighted.
First Arc Sool wasn't a battle commander. He had not been part of Recon or Retrieval. He was good at getting the LEP out of legal difficulties, which was why he had been appointed by the Council, presumably. Given the LEP's recent past, Trouble Kelp couldn't exactly blame them for choosing someone who would try to keep the LEP's reputation clean.
But the problem was that Ark Sool didn't know policing. He didn't understand that dangerous situations could only be handled by people who knew when and when not to follow the rules. He also didn't understand that just because a commander was good, that didn't mean that he didn't need the people under him.
Sool was impressed with Captain Kelp's record. And the record of several other Retrieval officers. And from those few shining lights he had deduced that LEPretrieval squads could be just as effective if there were more squads with less men. There was still the same amount of men in LEPretrieval, just twice as many squads, now that the twelve man teams had been broken down.
And while this worked mathematically-Kelp thought it might, anyway. He was having trouble following his commander's logic-it was not working in practice. Twelve man teams were needed. Yes, he was able to complete his missions with only six men, but he wasn't completing them without massive injuries anymore. He simply didn't have enough men to put back-up plans in place. Each week on regular jobs was looking worse than the attempt to rescue Captain Short.
And that was another thing. Trouble didn't understand Sool's dislike of an officer who dedicated herself to the People the way Holly did, and tried so hard to keep fatalities to a minimum. Grevil probably wouldn't be dead had he been under Captain Short's command, and seven goblins had been caught under the rocks that Corporal Rass's artistry had loosed from the ceiling. The People weren't Mud Men, and they didn't have the luck of breeding like rabbits.
And none of the disasters today would have happened if they had the information that there had been a horde of goblins in the tunnel, or a map of the area for the Retrieval team to set up more than an impromptu ambush. All which they would have had if Foaly hadn't resigned. That was the breaking point for Kelp. Sool had chased away the techie centaur, who, although supercilious and sarcastic, did get the job done. If they had access to the hub of information that Foaly used to provide today wouldn't have happened.
He was just fed up with the whole stinking business. One of his fairies was dead. Two more were off duty until they could get the surface-side passes needed to complete the Ritual and get their magic back. The trouble was, Trouble realized, that if something didn't change soon he was going to hand in his badge.

Dr. Crowthers is easily the best ob/gyn I have ever had, and I've had several. I was referred to her with a potentially life-threatening problem and was put at ease immediately. She was patient, knowledgeable and listened to all my concerns. She was thorough and gave me the time I needed. I ended up having surgery and all ended well. She was very honest about the possible outcomes, and I felt safe under her care. I highly recommend her. Oh, and she called me with results after hours, too.

Two University Of Minnesota Students Killed By Alleged Drunk Driver
An alleged drunk driver rear-ended a disabled car on the median shoulder of Interstate 39/90 near Madison, killing two male University of Minnesota students inside and a female friend.
A spokesperson from the University of Minnesota news service said that the two students were male cheerleaders with the university's Spirit Squad.
WCCO of Minneapolis reports the students were driving home from the Twin Cities to Milwaukee when the crash happened about 2:30 Thursday morning. The Wisconsin State Patrol reports that a car with five young people inside, had pulled over to fix a flat tire.
Police say a man, identified as 31-year-old Bradley Erickson of Madison, plowed into the back of them. He was arrested for operating under the influence following the crash.
The three people who died were a 20-year-old female driver from Milwaukee, a 23-year-old male passenger from Puerto Rico and a 19-year-old male passenger from Milwaukee. The woman who died was not from the university, but the two men were cheerleaders.
The State Patrol is withholding the names of the victims, but friends have been leaving messages on the Facebook pages of Wilfredo Ugarte and Marcus Johnson, the two students from the University of Minnesota.
The University of Minnesota director of athletics Joel Maturi made the following statement on the tragic accident:
"This is a very sad day for the University of Minnesota and Gopher Athletics. The entire department was shocked to learn of this senseless tragedy and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families, friends and loved ones of the young people we lost early this morning."
WCCO also reports grief counselors have been brought in by the University to meet with the cheerleaders Thursday night.

WASHINGTON – Army Sgt. Jeremy Barnhart says anyone wanting to know what it's like to deal with the Department of Veterans Affairs can get a clue from the FedEx packages that land on the front porch of his San Antonio home.
They tell him when to show up for mental health assessments that help determine his benefits eligibility. If the time conflicts with his college classes – which are a VA benefit helping him prepare for a new career – he can't change the appointment directly by phone, he said. He can only call to say it doesn't work, and wait for another package giving him a new appointment time.
Separately, he's been trying without success to see a VA neurologist for review of a brain injury incurred in a grenade attack in Iraq, he said. These efforts have been going on since he left the military, in April 2011.
How many circles do I have to run in to get the care that I need? said Barnhart, 39, who served as a medic and is studying to become a physician's assistant. It's a powerless feeling to be in a system like this.
President Obama has pledged to serve veterans as well as they've served us. Yet to veterans like Barnhart, the VA's bureaucracy can bring more agony than reward.
With as many as 1 million troops due to become veterans in the next five years, on top of the 22.3 million already in the system, the agency is staggering under backlogs in disability compensation claims, bottlenecks in mental health care and criticism over a general lack of accountability.
The system is completely overwhelmed, said Craig Bryan, a clinical psychologist and associate director of the National Center for Veterans Studies at the University of Utah. We did not prepare the VA system for what many of us would argue is the natural consequence of combat and protracted warfare, and we're trying to play catch-up.
Dawn Halfaker, an Army captain who lost an arm in 2004 during an attack in Iraq, said the VA has a culture problem, with some employees too distant from veterans' struggles and too dependent on paperwork and processes.
Halfaker, 33, recalled meeting with a clinician at a VA medical center in Washington as part of the process to determine the compensation she would receive for her disabilities.
He read from a sheet that noted she had suffered burns, lung damage, broken ribs and other injuries.
She reminded him she was also missing her right arm.
He said, Well, I don't have that down here,' said Halfaker, who owns a consulting business in Arlington, Va. I'm very clearly an amputee, but it has become such a bureaucratic system that this individual didn't really have the wherewithal to realize what was going on in front of him.
Then he contested whether I'd ever been in combat because I was a woman, said Halfaker, president of the board of directors for the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit in Jacksonville, Fla.
Josh Taylor, an agency spokesman, declined to arrange an interview with VA Secretary Eric Shinseki or Deputy Secretary Scott Gould, to comment on this story.
VA statistics show an agency falling further behind even with increased and staff.
The VA's budget has more than doubled to $125.3 billion in the past decade, while its full-time staff has risen 43 percent to 319,592 since 2002.
Obama has requested about $140 billion for the agency in fiscal 2013, which would make the VA one of the few big winners in an austere budget environment.
And yet, about 896,000 disability compensation and pension claims were pending as of last week, almost double the cases on Oct. 31, 2009. Two-thirds have been in the system for more than 125 days, the agency's target processing time.
Fewer than half of veterans receive full mental health evaluations within two weeks of contacting the agency for care, according to an April review by the department's inspector general's office.
For the remainder, it takes an average of about 50 days to get an exam.
U.S. lawmakers have warned the VA to ensure its funding increases are used to support veterans. They were outraged after learning the agency had spent $100 million on conferences last year, including two events in Orlando, Fla.

A pickup driver who crashed into a large log that fell across Highway 30 on Tuesday suffered minor injuries.
ODOT closed the highway for about two hours until they could remove the log and debris.
Troopers said the crash happened just east of Woodsen in Columbia County about 6 p.m. The pickup flipped onto its side.
The driver was taken to St Johns Medical Center in Longview, but his injuries weren't considered serious.

The I F***ing Love This Movie Blogathon Blogroll
OK, kids. Now that The Oscars are over (and whether you were #TeamArgo or #TeamLincoln or #TeamIDreamedADream, I'm sure we can all agree that it's good riddance to this year's particular brand of Awards season drama…) it's time for a bit of entertainment that is all about NOT judging and embracing our … erm … wide range of … tastes.
Over the weekend, the Kitty Packard Pictorial played host to the I F***ing Love This Movie Blogathon,… which was, admittedly, bad timing for film fans (myself included) who were consumed with the Oscar frenzy (hence the day late post). But believe it or not, there were a few of you bloggers our there who were still able to make time to stop and get real.
Let the blogroll commence!
The MadMen of TCM: A Greatest Hits Mix-Tape
Classic film fans have, over the past several years, embraced an emerging, and vibrant, niche community. This is highly evident right here in the blogosphere where, if I do say so myself, the very finest blogs on the interwebs are those manned by classic film fans (Shameless plug for Hollywood Revue, Backyard Fence, Out of the Past, True Classics, MovieStar Makeover, Sales on Film, Filmoria, and so many many many more amaaaaazing blogs — all of these and many more will rock your black and white world.) But the unsurpassed leader of this long-surpressed niche, is the cable network Turner Classic Movies.
Greetings from Kitty Packard
The Kitty Packard Review is a fusion of past and present with a focus on both modern and classic film, music, art, literature and travel with plenty of 'tude thrown in besides.
You may love it here, you may hate it here, but regardless …. welcome!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I have to admit. It's kind of unusal for a Blizzard feature this new 'RealID' thing.
I have seen absolutely nobody posting anything positive about it whatsoever.
And the only people that don't seem to see it as a security risk are saying 'Then Don't use it', yet not saying what positive features it has, apart from being able to chat Cross Realm and Cross Faction - is that really worth having your account potentially compromised for?
Why can't they just set up a Nickname for you? Say, for me, it could display (Regardless of Game/Server/Character) 'Henrah'. Or 'Henrah_9249435874387' if it came to that.
That's a unique, personally identifiable thing, that you can happily hand out to people.
Making it rely on email addresses is absolutely retarded.
It almost sounds to me like the driving force behind this (as people have said above me) is a deal with Facebook.
Someone above has confirmed that the e-mail address is only for the initial setup and is not a feature (or even present) in the UI. I don't have SCII and i'm not on PTR, so I can't confirm or deny that. Supposing it is true, though, are the complaints about privacy still important? The underlying idea behind the system is that you do not give your e-mail address to people you do not trust to begin with. The initial exchange should not worry people, as I'm not giving it to anyone but say my friend since high school, or my wife.
The number one concern seems to be "well what if my friend gets hacked" and/or "but the friend-of-a-friend can see my information". If we take the e-mail isn't displayed once it's used as an initial token then there isn't a big issue. Your friend gets hacked, maybe the hacker asks you what your email is because they forgot it. Perhaps you give it, perhaps you don't. I'm not sure this is a valid vector of attack as having your e-mail address is not really the crucial part of the equation. Having your e-mail address is not really the hard part and it doesn't assist them with actually getting the account password. Hackers have enough accounts through trojans that they don't need to sit around brute-forcing accounts given only the e-mail address.
Some people have expressed concern over others being able to access their real name. For most people, I'm not sure why that's a huge concern. Up above there was a female that was concerned about people knowing that fact, perhaps I'm too optimistic or naive about the WoW population but I for one don't care what gender you are. I haven't really met anyone that DID care what gender I am (I play female characters but I am a guy). I find it difficult to accept that someone is going to trawl the friends lists of everyone in WoW just to find a female, and if they did I can't see that being an awfully large population.
Bottom line, I doubt people can long-term see your email address. If they can, then the worst you're likely in for is a lot of annoying e-mail spam (which I'll agree is an awful outcome). The only real security at this point remains an authenticator, and if you're particularly paranoid then use a different password for WoW than for your email service or anywhere else you use that e-mail address. I see how people could be worried about the EULA violation as giving out account information and that is a valid point. Setting up a nickname is not a terrible idea, but that runs the risk of people making the nickname the same name as their Main which is going to flood people with Battle.net friend requests. In the end, if the e-mail address is used only for the initial exchange of the request and then discarded afterwards it really is the best way to provide a handle that is invariant across games. If you are worried about people knowing your real name, then this feature is NOT for you because it definitely is about setting up communication between PLAYERS and not CHARACTERS.
Sorry to add a few things.
When I said "I can't see that being an awfully large population" re: trawling for females, I meant that the people that would go to lengths to do that represent a very small portion of players, not that females comprise a small portion of players. And I don't mean to diminish their concerns but that the chance of it being an actual issue is likely to be small.
I also think that a key to this system is that they still haven't provided a way to cross-realm chat. That should have come with the dungeon finder and it's a shame they still haven't addressed it. That fact alone is likely to break the Battle.net friends functionality as it gets misused and too much trust given to people who aren't well-known.

You might want to use this external hard drive for a cheese serving board! SimpleTech's (re)drive is the most eco-friendly product ever, with its case made partially of Bamboo.
The DriveSafe service from Vodafone automatically replies to incoming texts messages saying not now -- we're driving.
Founder Daniel Kim thinks the answer is to reduce the size of our vehicles dramatically, along with their number of wheels.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
One question about the comment system. I usually hate to comment because after submitting it loses the place you were reading from. Isn't there any way to have a posted comment finish by going back to the comment it was replying to?
Or even something that seems as dead simple, like having the LAST page of the comments having all the previous pages linked. Why is it the last page is the ONLY one that doesn't have the links to the other pages, so you have to hit previous 20 comments, then hit the page you were on. Its seems to be a simple link why can't something like that be done? Pretty please already!

Ughhhhh man I don't even know where to start. It's real funny but I also feel real bad. No you do not have ssh if u did not specifically install it on a jb iPhone/iPod.. Just because u use a program that connects via tcp/ip does not make it ssh. Ssh is a secure shell and it's a protocol that's not installed by default. So stop worrying if it's not jb and go read wikipedia and find out what ssh is... Don't wanna be mean to a obvious n00b but u should read more before asking such dumb questions.. Anyway no harm done now go learn! Lol
you wouldnt get this from any other guy! use sbsettings keep ssh off and this stuff would not happen. you deserve to be rickrolled!
It's because of assholes like him that gives Apple more reason to battle jailbreaking. Apple can use those two cases as evidence and proof that jailbreaking isn't safe. Now Apple has some evidence to support their claim. Something so minor can actually turn major once people's interest in it start to grow.. and who knows... there may be virus created to harm our phones. It's people like that that ruins it for everyone else. /Rant
Changing the password doesnt ruin the phone i have done it and im fine. im on 3.1 without any issues
I checked my dashboard I had 3G ON and ssh on. I usually have them off but forgot when i upgraded to 3.1.2 on a whim All off now!
so im totally confused, i have the newest version of WinSCP on my PC and my iphone is JB on 3.0 firmware w/redsn0w. Anytime i try going into the options or whatever in WinSCP before logging in to change the password, it acts as if it's changed, then when i type "root" then my new chosen password it says its denied. I then type in alpine and bam, lets me right in. Whats up with this? how do i change the password to getting in my phone over wifi SSH from inside WinSCP?
I've been RickRolled lol.
Changing the password does NOT mess up your phone in any way.
Unless you forget the password you changed it to ...
ha ha ha i got this last night but i jst checkd sbsettings n my ssh is off... do i jst change my password 2 get rid of it? im a rookie at this sort of stuff...
iPhone hacking the new fad

TEAMS: Denver Broncos
The Broncos and Manning are putting together an amazing season. Here are my Power Rankings and a quick note about each team. 1) San Francisco - Don't panic, Seattle doesn't lose at home. 2) Texans - They are solid on both sides of the ball. 3) Patriots - Suspect defense keep them from the top spot. 4) Denver - On the rise, are they a Super Bowl sleeper? 5) Falcons - They need to show me something in the postseason. 6) Seattle - They can't win on the road in the playoffs. 7) Packers - Need defensive players to get healthy and produce. 8) Dallas - They've won some games but they're not going anywhere in the postseason. 9) Bears - They cannot protect Cutler and therefore can't win in the playoffs. 10) Steelers - Injuries have slowed this team. 11) Ravens - They're old on defense and Flacco can't lead them to the Super Bowl. 12) Giants - Too many questions for them to make another run. 13) Colts - Luck has this team in the playoffs, an a...

Wednesday night, Midtown's intimate Center Stage Theatre hosted Chris Brown and opening act New Boyz on the Chris Brown Appreciation Tour. And while we weren't there to cover it, Robb Cohen was handy with his camera. See his concert photos here. And if you attended the concert, tell us about what you saw. How did it compare to other Chris Brown shows? How do you feel about the entertainer's recent problems and relationship with Rihanna?

So, another talentless, worthless thug sells out a concert in Atlanta. Why does this not come as a surprise? Sure says a lot about Atlanta and the people that live here.
Chris Brown thinks he is tough because he can beat up women. Just how tough would he be without his bodyguards sorrounding him? I'd love to kick his a$$.
It's amazing that people like Rihanna and Whitney Houston get involved with low life thugs that beat them up. Do these women actually expect to have relationships with these pieces of trash?

Talentless?? I was @ the concert last night and Chris Brown- The individual- not his legal woes and unfortunate circumstances… Is extremely talented! The crowd was very diverse from adults to little children… Whites, Blacks, to Asians… His family was working the t-shirt sales… it was very vintage feeling and nice. I wish him success and I pray he overcomes his circumstances somehow.. Pete… I hope you pulled the mote of judgement out of your own eye before you wrote your comment on this human being!

I have featured mustard in my spice series, but lately I have gotten some questions about this basic spice base and there are enough recipes, on this site that use this particular fresh spice mixture for me to actually go ahead a do a small pictorial really on how this mixture is made.
Black mustard seed paste or shorshe bata is a fairly essential ingredient in Bengali cooking but it is used in other variations in other regional cusines across India. When ground with garlic, you get the Besara, which is essential a staple in the culinary landscape of Orissa – also an eastern Indian state.
In eastern India, this seasoning is most notoriously used for fresh fish, but there are also some wonderful vegetarian dishes that work with this sharp and creamy spice mix. Mustard pastes are used in the cooking of Andhra Pradesh and not surprisingly here it is mellowed with coconut such as in this recipe here.
Once you get used to it, like me you will be using this for almost anything that you can thing you. I add touches of it mixed in mayonaise for a zippy ham and cheese sandwich.
Hey, we do that with mint chutney too! So why not mustard? The one word of advise before I move on this mixture does get stronger with keeping, so you can keep the soaked seeds in the refridgerator for a while but the paste will intensify in sharpness beyond a desirable degree after a few days.
So, this really is just as its name suggests a fresh spice mixture, the only trick to this when making this in a blender (and I use a wet-dry blender, that my children like to call the black noisy thing but the magic bullet works well too! However, the mechanical blender is harsher than the Indian grinding stone so what is needed is extra soaking to soften the outer skin. I soak the seeds overnight. Next it gets into the wet dry grinder and gets blitzed for 30 to 35 seconds, the deal is the mustard seeds need to be soft enough to give you this soft creamy paste during this time. And there you have it, authentic, soft and creamy mustard paste.
They need to be soaked with a couple of green chilies. They green chilies surprisingly enough, mellow out the bitterness of the mustard and add the heat needed to this spice base making it all you need for a quick-fix seasoning.

Jillian Crow's dog immediately fell in love with Patrick Smith. It would take her a couple weeks longer. It would take Patrick just as long.
They met three years ago through a mutual friend, David Bowman. David, Patrick, Jillian and Jillian's friend Katie Smith spent the night eating, riding golf carts and jumping on the trampoline.
"My dog would not stop jumping on him and licking him," Jillian said. "That night Patrick actually was hitting on Katie and got her number."
When the four friends traveled to Six Flags a few weeks later, the chemistry between Jillian and Patrick surfaced.
"Once we got home, he asked me to go on a date," Jillian said. "Our first date was May 13, 2010."
A year later, the couple celebrated their anniversary at the beach. Patrick planned to propose at sunset on the beach after dinner at Sea-n-Suds.
"I should have known something was up because he did not eat half of his food," Jillian said.
As they ate, a storm poured rain on Gulf Shores, canceling Patrick's plans for a sunset proposal. Instead, they went to see "Bridesmaids."
After the movie, with the sky clear, Patrick took Jillian back to the beach.
"I was walking in front of him and he said, 'Hey you.' I turned around and he was down on one knee with the ring box opened," Jillian said. "I was so shocked I do not even remember what he said."
While his exact words remain unknown to Jillian, she knows her response. Speechless, she covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head yes.
The couple, who volunteers with the children at Moulton Baptist church and shares a love for Alabama football, plan to marry March 23. Jillian is from Priceville and Patrick is from Moulton.

Scotland winger Tim Visser wants more tries against Ireland
Last Updated: 22/02/13 6:02pm
Tim Visser: Try scorer against Italy
Sky Bet
Rugby Union Betting
Rugby Union Betting
Bet with Sky Bet
Winger Tim Visser says Scotland's newfound ruthless finishing is reaping rewards and could yet see them challenge for the Six Nations title.
Scotland have scored more tries in their opening two matches of this year's tournament than they did in the whole of last year's.
Their back three of Visser, Sean Maitland and Stuart Hogg have been hugely prominent in their opening games against England and Italy - with foreign-born wingers Visser and Maitland both touching down and Hogg crossing twice.
"It's a vast improvement from where we have been in the past in terms of finishing."
Tim Visser
They are now switching their sights to Ireland at Murrayfield and with England the only team in the tournament still unbeaten, victory over the Irish would catapult Scotland into the title equation with just Wales at home remaining before their final fixture with France.
"It's a vast improvement from where we have been in the past in terms of finishing," Visser said.
"Looking at the table, a lot of teams have now picked up a win, so the tournament is now winnable with a loss. But you can also end up bottom of the table with a win."
Scotland haven't beaten Ireland at Murrayfield since 2001, and will be wary of a backlash by the Irish after their 12-6 loss to England last time out.
"They are a good team no matter who plays, so we are not looking at it like a weakened side is facing us," Visser said.
"Ireland will be very physical. The first 20 minutes will be hell on earth. They are going to unleash everything they have against us. If we can ride out that first 20 minutes, then we are in with a chance."

My Grandfather's Transistor Radio Became a Lifeline During Hurricane Sandy
That radio bonded me to my grandfather, and to God, when I was a child. Decades later, it helped keep my family safe during a disaster.
Sometimes, even my sons would pick it up and examine it with distant curiosity, as if they'd happened upon an unrecognizable relic from the past housed beneath glass in an antique shop. They have their 4G network to connect them to the world, a digital vault for their music, and a widescreen television on which they watch baseball with their grandfather. A transistor radio was of no real use to them.
That is, until the eve of Hurricane Sandy, when it became the sole lifeline connecting us to the outside world. "Well, I guess that finally came in handy," each of the boys conceded in turn, their recognition at last that the future does not hold exclusive rights to all that is worthy.
On that first night of the storm one year ago, amid the howling winds and pounding rain, we heard a deafening blow that shook the back of our house. The windows remained intact, though we were certain that we would discover a gaping hole in our foundation as soon as it was safe to go outside.
Rain continued to fall the next morning, though gently enough to allow us to assess what had happened. The enormous branch that lay there on the wet grass had snapped off the towering maple in our yard, slamming against the house, but miraculously leaving no remarkable damage. We were in shock, both at having made it through just fine and in knowing the tragic, irrevocable losses others had sustained.
It was Oct. 30, the birthday of the son who bears my grandfather's name, and the day before my grandfather's own birthday. We pulled the cake out of the refrigerator and invited neighbors, who stepped over felled trees and debris to join us. Meanwhile, the man who cuts our grass appeared out of nowhere with a chainsaw to haul the tree branch away in sections, leaving us a few souvenir rounds of wood he thought we might like to keep.
Over the next few weeks, we slowly resumed our lives in a fog. My husband returned to work when power was restored, and the boys went back to school once the traffic lights came back on and buses could run safely. Surprisingly, the radio never made it upstairs to my husband's bedside table. Instead, it found its way to the bookshelf in the dining room that holds the seforim. From its new perch by the window, it has a perfect view of the tree in the yard and the progress of life in our home.

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Yakima County prosecutors have dropped charges against the sole remaining murder suspect in a triple slaying in Yakima two years ago.
Prosecutors said they have insufficient evident to prosecute Tracy Coulton in the February 2011 deaths of a man, his wife and 98-year-old mother.
Bill and Pauline Goggin and Bill's mother, Bettye Goggin were found beaten to death at their home in a gated community west of Yakima.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that Superior Court Judge Ruth Reukauf dismissed the charges Friday without prejudice, which means they could be refiled.
Prosecutors also dropped murder charges against the primary suspect in the case in October, and the judge has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate whether authorities recorded jail calls between that suspect and his attorneys.

After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself… but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause." When asked why, he replied, "because from that time on, no one will know if I'm lying or telling the truth." Meta: #whyilove #genewilder #willywonka #willywonkaandthechocolatefactory Grace, 17.

FORT WORTH, Texas (September 11, 2010) – Dustin Jones missed an opportunity to give Lubbock Christian University a late lead, missing a penalty kick with 7:55 remaining, but he made up for his miss by scoring a golden goal with 3:52 remaining in double overtime to lift LCU to a 3-2 win at Texas Wesleyan University Saturday.
The Chaps opened the game's scoring with defender Tony Valera scoring his second goal of the season just 6:18 into the contest. LCU added to the lead just as time expired in the first half. A yellow card on TWU's Ryan Johnson led to a free kick for LCU with four seconds left in the half. Tristan Long, who scored the game winning goal Tuesday over Eastern New Mexico University, took the free kick and put it past goalkeeper Dominick Gutierrez as time expired and LCU took a 2-0 lead into the half.
Texas Wesleyan came out strong in the second half. 13:35 into the second half, Ivan Kovacevic made a move atop the box to shake off a defender and put in his second goal of the season to cut LCU's lead to 2-1. The Rams tied the game in the 72nd minute, as Ryan Johnson put his noggin on Tyler Mendez's crossing pass and headed it past Chaps goalkeeper Alistair Caldwell.
The second half was active, as teams combined for 26 shots on goal in the half (LCU with 14). Fifteen of the shots in the half were on goal with TWU aiming nine of them on net. Long assisted on Jones' second goal of the season to finish the game with a goal and an assist. Jones had a game-high nine shots and six on goal. LCU out-shot TWU 26-23 in the game and each team kept the goalkeepers active with 14 on net. Caldwell improved to 4-0 stopping 12 shots, which is more saves than he had in the four prior games combined. Gutierrez made 11 saves in the loss for TWU.
The Chaps are now 4-0-1 on the season with the victory and they remain on the road Monday playing at Dallas Christian College. The game time against Dallas Christian has been changed from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Healthy living tips from Kira Bishop - Fitness Coordinator, Armed Services YMCA Family Center
As the cooler months approach, it can be quite tempting to skip your daily workout for time in front of the television under a warm blanket. Don't let the cozy weather ruin all of the hard work you put in at the gym all summer. Follow these tips for Fall that are sure to keep you on track towards your health and fitness goals.
1) Fall is the perfect season for outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, running, and walking. Bundle up and hit the trails at a local hiking area or park. Take the whole family on a Saturday morning and make it your new routine to check out a different hiking spot each weekend.
2) Watch television actively. Fall is premiere season for many popular shows, but it does not have to make you a couch potato. Schedule mini workout sessions during the commercial breaks while watching your favorite shows. Most 30-minute shows have 8 minutes of commercials and 1-hour shows have around 20 minutes. Use each commercial break to work on bodyweight movements such as jumping jacks, mountain climbers, push-ups, lunges, squats, triceps dips using your couch, or keep a jump rope handy and jump non-stop for the duration of each commercial. Don't be afraid to get creative!
3) It's hard not to let the yummy smell of pumpkin flavored everything make you fall completely off your healthy eating track this time of year. Don't deprive yourself, but keep your goals in mind every day. It is ok to indulge a little occasionally. Better to indulge a little than to binge a lot. Just do not indulge too much. by keeping "real foods" stocked in your kitchen at all times, you'll have healthy food options always available, and you won't be as likely to let yourself fall back on processed foods, like sugary cereals. Keep stocked up with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. The important thing is to make your grocery list include as much natural and real food as possible.
These are just a few tips to help you stay on track with your goals. Remember, you do not have to wait for the New Year to start making healthy resolutions. Start now working towards a healthier, fitter you!

Best moments from the MTV Europe Music Awards
Best moments from the MTV EMAs
It's been almost two decades since the first MTV Europe Music Awards and the ceremony, which is held in a different European city every year, still attracts some of the biggest stars in the world.
The likes of Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus will be jetting into Amsterdam for the 2013 show, and while the EMAs has never brought out the same level of craziness as the MTV Video Music Awards, it's definitely had its fair share of drama and memorable moments.
Here we look back at some of the highlights from the MTV Europe Music Awards over the years…

Police are investigating the circumstances of a man's death in Salt Lake City's Memory Grove.
Salt Lake City police Detective Rick Wall said Tuesday that they were withholding the identity of the deceased, a man in his 30s, pending notification of his family.

A passerby walking his dog late Monday afternoon reported finding the body near 500 North and Canyon Road.
While police did not yet have an official cause of death, no obvious signs of trauma or foul play were found on his remains.
Memory Grove has been a favorite camping locale for transients and abnormally cold overnight and daytime temperatures over the past week could be deadly.

Find your booty with Bing treasure maps
Maps on the major sites like Yahoo, Google, and Bing have a similar look. You've got your yellow roads, orange freeways, and green parks. Bing Destination Maps takes a different approach. Select your region of interest, and choose the style that you want. You have four choices: European, American, sketchy, and treasure map (above).
The best has gotta be the last two, which make the map look hand-drawn on the back of a napkin:
The application runs as a Silverlight plugin, and it's still kind of buggy. You also can't use it for directions yet, and it'll probably make your CPU run wild. It's still worth a look though, if just for the novelty factor.

My netbook had 'some' issues to say the least, but I really like these – improve your data-ink ratio etc.
The title of your post made me instantly think of the other hunting that bing has been associated with… http://news.cnet.com/8301-19518_3-10255043-238.html

I think another part of the problem is that it's become increasingly difficult for many people to detect a tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic essay/comment. Detecting them involves comparing what is being claimed to what is reasonable. In your mind you have to ask yourself, "Is this person serious?" In the past it was easy to answer the question by saying to yourself, "No, this is just way too unreasonable. It must have been meant sarcastically." But during recent years people have taken so many outrageous positions and made such ludicrous claims that now many commenters tend to take what is said at face value.

Albany -- The teams are made up of critical care nurses and respiratory therapists.
If a Phoebe Putney nurse outside the Intensive Care Unit or emergency room notices an unexpected change in a patient's condition, she can call in the response team. They immediately help identify the problem before its turns deadly.
Since Phoebe implemented the rapid response teams, the death rate at the hospital has dropped 13%. And, fewer patients are suffering often life threatening cardiac and respiratory arrests outside the ICU.
Medical floor nurse Kimberly Lane knows the Rapid Response Teams save lives. "We had a patient who's vital signs were dropping. She was going into respiratory stress, and it's 4:00AM and we are trying to get a hold of a doctor," she said.
With the attending doctor on the way, Lane called in the response team. "They show up in minutes, and we can assess that patient with their experience. We went ahead and moved that patient to that [ICU] unit while we were trying to get a hold of the doctor. That probably prevent her from going to a code."
Code often means a patient has gone into cardiac or respiratory arrest, which is often deadly. "It does save lives," said Lane.
"This rapid assessment team is really about getting the right care to the right patient at the right time." Debra Williamson is the Vice President of Critical Care Services. She says the response teams, made up of respiratory therapists and critical care nurses, help to identify what's causing a patient's condition to get worse.
When they know what's wrong sooner, the can treat the problem quicker. "They either take care the situation, the problem the patient is having, right there in that room and the patient stays there. Or because they have responded in such a quick manner, that patient may end up going to the Intensive Care Unit. But it's done before anything really catastrophic happens," she said.
The response teams helped to lower the number of codes outside the ICU and emergency room by nearly half. And that's a lot of people who were saved thanks to this new way kind of patient care.
The Volunteer Hospital Association awarded Phoebe Putney its 2006 Leadership Award for Clinical Excellence because of the success of the rapid response teams.

Ark. same-sex couples marryBy CHRISTINA HUYNH
The Associated Press | May 11,2014EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark. Gay marriage arrived in the Bible Belt on Saturday, beginning with two women who had traveled overnight to ensure theyd be first in line.
Thank God, Jennifer Rambo said after Carroll County Deputy Clerk Jane Osborn issued a marriage license to her and Kristin Seaton, a former volleyball player at the University of Arkansas. The Fort Smith couple wed moments later on a sidewalk near the courthouse; the officiant wore a rainbow-colored dress.
In total, 15 licenses were issued for same-sex couples in northwest Arkansas Carroll County, Osborn said.
Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza paved the way Friday with a ruling that removed a 10-year-old barrier, saying a constitutional amendment overwhelmingly passed by voters in 2004 banning gay marriage was an unconstitutional attempt to narrow the definition of equality. Piazzas ruling also overturned a 1997 state law banning gay marriage.
But because Piazza didnt issue a stay, Arkansas 75 county clerks were left to decide for themselves whether to grant marriage licenses.
Rambo, 26, and Seaton, 27, were the first gay couple to be legally married. They arrived about 2 a.m., slept in a Ford Focus and awoke every half-hour to make sure no one else would take a spot at the head of the line.
As dawn came, no one was certain any clerk would issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple. Initially, deputy clerk Lana Gordon said she wasnt sure she had the authority and shooed people from her office.
We just walked out of here crying, Rambo said.
When Osborn intervened, other same-sex couples let Rambo and Seaton return to their place in line.
And some of these people here have been waiting 50 years and they still instructed us to come up front, Rambo said.
It wasnt immediately known whether other counties issued licenses Saturday. Several were open for early primary-election voting but staffers said they were not prepared to issue marriage licenses.
Piazzas lack of a stay caused confusion among county clerks, Association of Arkansas Counties executive director Chris Villines said.
The court didnt give us any time to get the kinks worked out, Villines said.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said he would appeal the ruling and asked it be suspended during that process. No appeal had been filed as of Saturday afternoon.
The U.S. Supreme Court last year ruled that a law forbidding the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages was unconstitutional. Using language similar to that from the Supreme Court, state and federal judges nationwide have struck down other same-sex marriage bans ruling against bans in Michigan, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Texas, and ordering Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee to recognize same-sex marriages from other states.
Arkansas amendment was passed in 2004 with the overwhelming support of Arkansas voters.
Jerry Cox, president of the Arkansas Family Council, which promoted Arkansas ban, said Piazzas decision to not suspend his ruling will create confusion if a stay is issued.
Are these people married? Are they unmarried? Cox said. Judge Piazza did a tremendous disservice to the people of Arkansas by leaving this in limbo.
Arkansas ruling came a week after McDaniel became the first statewide elected official to announce he personally supports gay marriage rights, but would continue to defend the states ban in court.
Eureka Springs, an Ozark Mountain town of about 2,000, is known for its arts environment and liberal policies in the otherwise conservative northwest Arkansas along with a 65-foot-tall statue of Jesus and a play about the last days of his life.
In 2007, the Eureka Springs City Council unanimously approved a proposal to create a domestic partner registry that took effect despite several failed efforts to defeat or outlaw the issue. The partnerships confer no special legal status.
Among those who let Rambo and Seaton back up front were Zeek Taylor, 67, and Dick Titus, 65, who have been together 40 years. Taylor confronted Gordon, the deputy clerk, about closing the office, saying Your job is to issue a marriage license to everyone thats here. Gordon said the complaint could be taken up with her boss.
Paul Wank, 80, of Eureka Springs, interrupted the exchange, pointing his black cane at Gordon.
You dont have to be hateful sir, the deputy clerk said.
Youve been hateful to people like me for years. So keep up, Wank said. Youre doing everything you can to stall.MORE IN This Just InBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night. Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) -- A La Crosse father who fractured the skull, ribs, arms and legs of his infant daughter has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
La Crosse County prosecutor Crystal Jensen says it's too soon to tell whether the child will suffer permanent damage from the abuse inflicted by her father, 31-year-old Gavin Attoe. Jensen says the 3-month-old baby was subjected to "repeated systematic torture" at the hands of her father between October 2010 and February 2011.
The La Crosse Tribune says Attoe was charged with five counts of physical abuse of a child and pleaded no contest to two counts.

How would you like someone to knock on your door and tell you there is a million dollars with your name on it? Eight on Your Side recently had the pleasure of doing just that.
It is money that was sitting in the Florida Bureau of Unclaimed Property.
We found it by scrolling through the names of individuals and businesses owed money. In some cases, a lot of money. That's how we found the man in Manatee county.
He asked not to be identified because he is elderly and legally blind. He worries his new millionaire status will make him a target.
He was unaware the money was sitting in the Unclaimed Property Fund because he says his wife always handled the money and she died a few years ago. He had several accounts in both his name and his deceased wife's name. They were stock and stock dividend checks, certificates of deposit that had matured and other various accounts.
When we caught up with him at his business in Manatee county, he was about to get in a cab and head home to his apartment. He is now working with the state to submit the claim forms and get his hands on that more than one million dollars.
Warren Graham heads the Florida Bureau of Unclaimed Property. He says 99% of the money comes from "un-cashed checks, dormant bank accounts, insurance benefits that haven't been claimed or securities portfolios, that type of thing."
Searching to see if you're owed a piece of it is simple. The state's website is www.fltreasurehunt.org. You simply enter your name.
I found many Tampa Bay area businesses that are owed money. Including $599 for the Tampa Bay Rays, $105 for Tampa Bay Broadcasting at One Buc Place and a $223 win for Tampa Bay Downs.
Graham says, "This office returned $212 million dollars, over 300,000 claims, to Floridians this past year. That's a serious amount of money."

That is the idea behind Editors Room (sic), a new service from AOL's 5min, which, like TechCrunch, was acquired by AOL a year ago.

In her latest Wind River Reservation mystery, Coel has creatively connected a present-day murder with one a century old. T.J. Painted Horse's wife, Denise, is found murdered. When museum curator Christine Nelson goes missing not long afterward and her apartment is ransacked, Father John O'Malley of the reservation's St. Francis Mission wonders if her disappearance could be linked to the museum's newly acquired exhibit.
Almost a hundred years ago, famed photographer Edward Curtis staged a raid on the Arapaho village so that he could photograph it. A woman was killed in the pretend raid and three Arapahos were accused of her murder and hanged.
This is a smoothly written, captivating novel. Not only is the mystery first rate, but Coel's insight into the prejudices against Native Americans is highly illuminating. (Sep., 288 pp., $22.95)
