Teen Wolf Casting Scoops: New Twins, Female Alphaby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
With fans still reeling over the rumored departure of Colton Haynes, we have an update on new characters headed to Teen Wolf Season 3:
Charlie and Max Carver (Desperate Housewives) have been cast in the major recurring roles of twins Ethan and Aidan, a pair of alpha wolves that help comprise the pack coming to Beacon Hills.
Elsewhere, according to Deadline, Felisha Terrell (Days of Our Lives) will portray the drama's first female alpha, a ruthless young animal named Kali.
Finally, Australian actress Adelaide Kane will play Cora, a 17-year old with a connection to the Beacon Hills werewolf line.
MTV is yet to announce a premiere date for Teen Wolf Season 3, but look for the first of 24 new episodes to kick off in June.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Casting News, Teen Wolf
Supposedly, Colton left because his people and MTV couldn't come to an agreement about his contract. He wanted a guarantee of a starring role in a show of his own, in the future, in addition to a salary raise, IIRC.
I cant wait till June Dammit !!
"over the rumored departure of Colton Haynes"? I thought it was confirmed that he HAD left and that the spokespeople at MTV, as well as the people at Teen Wolf have no idea why.
As for the casting, hopefully Adelaide Kane has improved her acting over the years, because last time I saw her on TV, she was absolutely atrocious.
The twins on the otherhand is a great casting move, seeing as they played a great part on Desperate Housewives. So

Punta Prima, Orihuela, not to be confused with Punta Prima, Menorca, is primarily a beach resort. A Punta Prima apartment is a great option if you love beach holidays and the resort has great access to a handful of exquisite, blue flag beaches. When you take holiday accommodation in Punta Prima it is very easy to relax, as the atmosphere and pace of life are extremely laid back!
Punta Prima is such a popular place to take a holiday due to the fantastic beach upon which it stands. The beach of Punta Prima itself consists of beautiful, white sand, which curves around the bay for as far as the eye can see. Even during summer, there is plenty of space on the beach, and all the town's facilities are within a short walk of the beachfront.
Taking a family holiday to accommodation in Punta Prima is an excellent option as there is an enormous range of family activities and child friendly entertainment in and around Punta Prima. The beach provides facilities for endless water sports, and within just a few miles of Punta Prima accommodation you can find a go-karting track, 10 pin bowling, a sailing school and the busy resort towns of Alicante and Murcia.
There are also three golf courses which surround Punta Prima, meaning that anyone wishing to get in a round whilst on holiday or take a pure golf holiday to Punta Prima accommodation will not be disappointed.
Punta Prima is surrounded by magnificent resorts, some of which are orientated towards beach holidays, including Playa Flamenca and Cabo Roig, and others towards golf, such as La Zenia and Villamartin. However, it is the towns of Torrevieja and Orihuela, which are both easily accessible by public transport from an apartment in Punta Prima, which allow visitors to sample a little of the Spanish Mediterranean culture. There is a large range of fantastic restaurants to be found in both towns, as well as excellent shopping and varied entertainment.
Punta Prima basks in over 300 days of sunshine every year. With scorching summers, where daily temperatures can reach 40°C and very mild winters, there is never a bad time to take Punta Prima accommodation.
Accommodation in Punta Prima is perfectly situated between Murcia Airport (MJV) and Alicante Airport (ALC), which are both within 50km. There are a range of airlines which provide direct services from the UK, but for cheap flights to Punta Prima, try BMI or Monarch.
Make a holiday rental home or villa in Punta Prima, Spain your home away from home
Tucked away in the picturesque south-east corner of Minorca, Punta Prima is away from the island's tourist hot-spots, and something of a hidden gem. The large and sandy beach is the main attraction here, and although the number of tourist facilities is not a patch on some of Minorca's busier resorts, they are of good quality and within close reach of eachother – cutting travel times and optimizing your time on the beach or in the bar.
Punta Prima is a secluded resort, and one of the quietest on the island – something of a feat as the island itself is arguably the quietest of all of the Balearics. Things are changing, however, and recent and ongoing development is seeing a rise in popularity for Punta Prima. As a result, those looking for a relaxing destination with an attractive beach will be well at home – but may need to visit sooner rather than later.
The beach is quite large in size and covered in fine golden sand, ideal for families. The resort front is the main centre of the action, and where you will find a decent selection of bars, shops and restaurants, and there are also two medium-sized supermarkets to be found nearby, so self-caterers are well looked after. All of the above, as well as the vast majority of the holiday rental accommodation in Punta Prima, is within a short distance of each other, so holidaymakers will spend more time enjoying themselves and less time moving from place to place.
Punta Prima benefits from its close proximity to Mahon, the capital of Minorca, and visitors to the resort can make the 11km journey north if they decide to seek a more active nightlife or a greater variety of shops and tourist attractions. S'Algar is just 5km around the coast, and can be regarded as Punta Prima's 'big brother', with more in the way of tourist facilities – including some of the best water sports options on the island.
The Balearic Islands are well known for their excellent weather, and Minorca is no different. July and August are the hottest months in which to visit Punta Prima, though those planning a more active break may prefer to stay during May, June or September, when temperatures are warm (20-25C) without being overly hot.
Menorca Airport (also often referred to as Mahon Airport, airport code MAH) is the island's only airport, and handles around a million passengers every year. It is located a mere 7km inland from Punta Prima, and receives numerous flights from the UK every summer through airlines such as Thomas Cook Airlines, Thomson Airways and Monarch Airlines. Budget options can also be found from the usual suspects, so shop around for the best deals.

[[folder: Fridge Brilliance ]]
* The ''Alien'' films are great in and of themselves, but one thing I've just recently begun to appreciate much more is the fact that [[WordOfGod H.R. Giger]] never gave the titular [[FanNickname Xenomorphs]] a single defined gender, instead opting to make them a "horrific blurring of both sexes". Why is this so brilliant? Simple, [[TwoWordsObviousTrope they're aliens]]. These are creatures whose biology is so unlike our very own that the conventional labels of "male" and "female" do not apply to them. It also makes the aliens far more terrifying. After all, lions, in comparison, are also scary, but at least we know they have clearly defined genders.-baronobeefdip
** When I first saw ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' as a kid, I thought the wholesale slaughter of the marines was just a ConservationOfNinjutsu thing or that the ones who died were the rookies or bottom tier. Only upon rewatching the film as a teen and adult did I really catch all the references to previous missions, the tight comaraderie within the unit, the graffiti on the equipment and realize that the marines were, in fact, the biggest badasses in the universe. Every last one of them. And it made no difference to the aliens.
*** I realized something really where elite soldiers and they sent in a few elites to deal with the problem. The aliens were no match for them in technology, firepower or training. In a fair fight a Marine would easily win over the xenomorph (which we see them do), but the xenomorphs took on an unfair fight. They were able to instead use stealth to always take the marines by surprise, their superior knowledge of the facility (and ability to move through ducts and the like) plus superior numbers to turn the fight to their advantage. This is EXACTLY what made the Vietcong win in Vietnam: No matter how much better trained the Americans were, the guerrilla warfare of the Vietcong was what gave them their advantage.
** Another xeno-related FridgeBrilliant moment is the titular aliens own behavior. These are not your typical "TakeOverTheWorld" aliens, nor do they want to be your friend. These are, in essence, ''wild animals''. You cannot reason with, bribe, or have a philosophical conversation about the "meaning of life" with a Xenomorph. And, they're not downright evil, but are simply just trying to survive/protect their hive and/or queen. They're acting out of instinct, which makes them somewhat sympathetic while still scary as hell.
---> '''Ripley:''' You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] each other over for a god damned percentage.
** A lot of people wondered why the Predalien looked so radically different from the human-born aliens, whereas the dog alien from the third movie looked pretty much the same aside from some cosmetic differences. Then I realized that of course the Predalien looks so different from the ones that burst from earth-bound species, a Predator would have a DNA structure that's completely different then any creature from Earth. They evolved on two different planets and a human would share more of it's DNA with a dog then with a Predator.
*** Even if their DNA isn't totally different, the predators clearly have vastly superior DNA to humans or dogs. It makes perfect sense that the reason human and canine xenomorphs look so different from a predator xenomorph is because the predator simply has better genes. The xenomorphs themselves have DNA, if we take the Queen as having "pure" xenomorph DNA, then the implanted young take only the very best from their hosts. If the DNA of their hosts are only better in some regards, for mammals it seems to be bone structure, then they will only take THOSE traits while keeping their own xenomorph DNA which designs their inner jaws and their colouration, acid blood, ect. If we assume the premise that xenomporphs are biological weapons, they almost seem to be evolution itself made into a weapon. Ridley grew up a religious man, meaning he might not have the best views of evolution. What better a way to make the entire premise seem absolutely horrifying than to make an organism that is a bioweapon, and its modus operandi is to use the selective variation in organisms against them? Become better in their own environments than they are?
* One has to wonder why elite colonial marines were killed faster then civilians on the Nostromo. It's because the people on the Nostromo were dealing with one alien while the soldiers were dealing with dozens of fully grown BadAss aliens.
** Plus they walked into the Aliens' hive and lit one of their newborns on fire. That ticked them off pretty bad.
** They might not have actually been that elite. The company was the ones who requested them, and they wanted a live alien. You don't send utter badasses when you want survivors. They had several lines that hinted that they may not have been the best of the best. The company might have asked the marine command for some disposable grunts and a poor officer.
*** Still, you'd expect at least a few of them to put up a agood fight or at least escape.
*** They did, the initial ambush at least. And then they were severely outnumbered and extremely low on ammo, practically stranded.
*** Also most of them had given up there ammo on orders from Gorman so only the few that had not followed the order had enough fire power to escape.
* The events of ''[[Film/{{Prometheus}} Prometheus]]'' provide a plausible explanation for why Mother was able to decode some of the distress signal in ''Alien''.
* A lot of the [[ArtisticLicenseBiology things that don't make sense]] about the Xenomorph make a lot of sense if you consider the possibility that they were designed as [[LivingWeapon weapons]]- HollywoodAcid for blood: defence mechanism as well as the 'living battery' idea proposed in the comics. Ability to reproduce with almost any species: A perfect way of making more of then that demoralises the enemy in the process, as well as incorporating the abilities of other species in the Xenomorph's 'design'.
* Might seem horrific, but a lot of Weyland-Yutani's actions are a lot more understandable if you look at it the right way. They want the aliens as bioweapons. Seems like a fairly typical power-hunger thing that any bunch of {{General Ripper}}s would do, right? Until you think about who they might need to use them on. The galaxy has just been proven to contain other intelligent, spacefaring lifeforms, or at least it did, ones vastly superior to humanity. And they're probably still around. Even if they're not, other species probably are -- indeed, given the implied connections between the two 'verses, the [[Franchise/{{Predator}} Yautja]] are certainly still around. Controlling the aliens provides Earth with a guaranteed-effective weapon against any aggressors. In essence, they're looking for a trump card to insure the survival of the human race. In that context, they might still be crazy, but they're more KnightTemplar types than the omnicidal maniacs that they look like otherwise.
* ''Videogame/AliensColonialMarines'' may seem like it's {{Retcon}}ing things when it explains that a Chestburster gestates inside a parasitic "mock-womb" that will kill the host even if the xenomorph embryo is removed, but this actually explains something: in every continuity, we almost never see facehugged victims ever be surgically cured; surely, sheer practicality would dictate that even for a {{Megacorp}} it's more profitable to surgically extract a grown Chestburster from a victim than allow it to deliver itself in the usual lethal manner, but nobody ever does so. Even the rare benevolent "xeno-farmers" use surgical clone-lumps (non-sentient masses of clone-grown human tissue and organs) and let the Chestburster grow and remove itself from them.
** At the same time, Ripley 8 having her Chestburster surgically removed makes sense; Film/AlienResurrection is set several centuries into the future of the timeline of the rest of the Alien franchise.
[[folder: Fridge Horror ]]
* Do you remember the scene toward the end of ''Film/{{Alien}}'' when, after hearing the sounds of Parker and Lambert being killed by the creature over the radio, Ripley rushes to the scene and sees the bloody corpses? Look more closely next time you watch it. You can clearly Parker's dead face, but it took me several rewatches to realise that the corpse in the foreground has dark skin, not Lambert's pale skin. That isn't two corpses: it's Parker torn into two pieces. That leaves one last question: Where is Lambert? Ponder all of that and the whole sequence becomes exponentially more chilling.
** There was a deleted scene where Ripley found Lambert and Dallas cocooned and impregnated. Still fairly [[NightmareFuel nightmarish]] when you consider that the original draft had the Alien rape Lambert when she was being attacked.

"I was invited to visit Mississippi State, but my soccer team won in the playoffs on Tuesday," said Gibbs who plays goal keeper. "We're in the second round now and we play Tupelo this Saturday at home.
"We lost in the state championship last year, so we're hoping to get back there."
While some time on the soccer pitch has been a lot of fun for Michael, he knows his college future lies on the football field.
"The first time I really talked to Mississippi State was in the spring," said Gibbs. "I went to the camp this summer and had a good time. I was invited back to the Big Dawg camp, but I couldn't make it.
"I have been in touch with Coach Knox since then. They are talking about playing center or offensive guard."
The Bulldogs have not extended an offer, but they have expressed interest in Michael joining their program.
"I am either going to go to Mississippi State or Hinds for two years," said Gibbs. "They are talking me about a preferred walk on spot at Mississippi State.
"Coach Knox wants me and my parents to come up there later on an unofficial visit, so they can talk to us about everything."

Editor's Note: Here is a look at the seven people nominated by students for the Work-Study Supervisor of the Year Award, which will be presented at a luncheon April 18.
According to international student Sini Ngobese '15 of South Africa, College Chaplain Rev. Eric Detar creates a warm and positive work environment in the Center for Spiritual Life. With his kindness, generosity, compassion and patience, as well as light-hearted spirit, the rewards of working in the CSL office have extended farther than wages, she said.
The work shift begins with a heartfelt smile and greeting and a few moments to catch up and ensure that all is well, Ngobese said. It's not simply a polite inquiry, she said, "but a genuine interest for my well-being which, as a student who is an ocean and continent away from home, helps me feel welcome, cared for and important."
Each work shift has enabled her to learn positive skills that will benefit future workplace endeavors, she said. New tasks are explained with patience and stated in a conversational manner, rather than as commands. If ever a mistake is made, Detar never chastises, but rather empowers her how not to make errors in the future.
"He wholeheartedly praises the good, which helps me as the employee feel motivated, important, encouraged, enthusiastic and inspired," she said, adding that, Detar's personable demeanor and propensity to share laughter have helped instill a love for the job and a passion for contributions made to the department.
"As a result, I feel more a fundamental part of the office and its prosperity as opposed to a mere work-study employee. Consequently, I have a huge sense of pride for the office, its projects and events," Ngobese said. However, she added that of all the great experiences gained as Detar's office assistant, "the best reward of all is the awesome friendship we've established."
A fun, sweet, helpful and friendly spirit are among the many positive characteristics of Eva Moberg-Sarver, director of student activities.
According to Lauren Esposito '15, who works for Moberg-Sarver as a student activites and Campus Activities Board (CAB) assistant, "Eva brings fun and energy into the office" and has helped make it more exciting for Esposito to come to work each day.
"I have never seen her in a bad mood and she is always nice to everyone," said Esposito. "She truly cares about the campus, especially the students. She challenges me to do better and work harder. She is my inspiration and I look up to her or advice, wisdom, cheering up and just nice conversations."
Moberg-Sarver has been a "remarkable" addition to the Keuka community, Esposito said, and has put in hard work across the numerous areas of campus activities and events that she oversees. Through a positive personality, Moberg-Sarver gets others excited about happenings on campus and is herself, excited about what is happening.
"Her shining personality makes her more than worthy for this prestigious award," Esposito said.
One of the first people sophomore Savannah Fuller '15 met as a freshman was Valerie Webster, co-curricular transcript coordinator and community service coordinator. Fuller received the Experiential Learner of the Month Award as a high school senior in January 2011 and a partial academic fellowship to attend Keuka.
Knowing that completing at least 50 hours of community service was a fellowship requirement, Fuller, an occupational science major, kept Webster's name in her head.
"I went into her office and was immediately greeted with enthusiasm and spunk," said Fuller. "After volunteering at the office, she recommended that I apply for the community service advocate work-study position. Having a supervisor who is passionate about helping others makes being a community service advocate meaningful."
Webster's "unrelenting dedication to her work-study students and enthusiasm for community service are the highly commendable," said Fuller. "She told me there was always work to be done and that I was always welcome. Knowing this has made working in the office rewarding."
According to Fuller, Webster "is always on top of the projects in which community service advocates are involved, and knows how to approach any problem we encounter, big or small. Even while on leave due to major surgery, Valerie made it a point to check up on the community service advocates and give us advice."
Not only does Fuller count on Webster as a supervisor, but also as a friend.
"She is a mother figure to me," said Fuller. "I count myself among the large number of students who know we can lean on Valerie when we are having a bad day, and are too far away from home to hug our own mothers. Her office is a safe haven when the stressors of college become overwhelming, and her guidance and support have allowed me to build important skills essential to success."
While Emily Ekstrom '13 has been TeamWorks! facilitator for just one semester, she said it's the only work-study job she's had that has challenged her and made her a better person. She gives a lot of the credit to her work-study supervisor, Molly McGuigan '11, TeamWorks! manager.
"It is Molly's first year in charge of the TeamWorks! program, and she has gone above and beyond any supervisor I have ever had on campus," said Ekstrom.
As an education major, Ekstrom said her work-study job helped prepare her for the challenge of student teaching.
"A large component of this was Molly," she said. "She helped me build my TeamWorks! facilitating skills so that I could bring them into the classroom for my students. She not only provided me with the materials, but ideas and advice on different lessons I could do with my students."
Ekstrom said McGuigan provides a challenging work environment, and pushes the facilitators to go outside their comfort levels.
"Molly encourages us to grow as workers and students with a combination of classic team building activities and fresh ideas," said Ekstrom. Even though TeamWorks! is a student-led program, Molly is there for moral support, which is always welcome when running a program. She knows just what to say to help us through, and I think she is not so much as boss, as she is an older sibling watching over your shoulder. She is there help us when we have a problem as well as celebrate our successes."
Ekstrom said that whether she wants to chat about an upcoming program, grab a piece of candy, or just talk about a class, one of the best aspects of having McGuigan as a supervisor is her open cubby policy.
"A real benefit of knowing that Molly graduated from Keuka is that she knows what we are going through, and always has some insightful help when we are in a pickle," said Ekstrom.
According to Samantha Stevenson '13, who has worked under Jon Accardi, director of campus recreation and aquatics, for the past four years, Accardi has expanded campus intramural programs from just four sports to more than 30 different annual events that go beyond intramural competitions to include overall fitness and health.
"[Jon] does everything he can to try and get more of the student body involved and active in the Weed Physical Arts Center," Stevenson said.
As a result, many of the new programs or events introduced under Accardi's tenure were launched by work-study students. Some of these events include yoga, fitness boot camp, Zumba, a dodgeball tournament now in its sixth year, a rewards program that marks 30-, 45- and 60-day uses of the fitness center with small prizes, and an obstacle-course event last year that has morphed into a "Zombie" Run event this year. The latter three were created with the inspiration of former students Ashley Valentine, Joe Debar, and Alicia Wimmer.
Accardi interacts with work-study employees in a way that makes them feel like colleagues, not "underlings," Stevenson said, describing how that includes encouragement and praise, recognition of hard work, and at times, a push to press on in spite of challenges.
"I gained determination and integrity to achieve any goal I set for myself from Jon's leadership. With these experiences, I have achieved a higher understanding not only of what it means to work hard, but how to motivate others to do the same," Stevenson said, calling him one of her greatest mentors. "I know that I'm a better person because of it, and anyone working under Jon in the future will be, too."
Halie Squires '13 has worked in the Office of Admissions as a student ambassador for a year-and-a-half. In that time, her work-study supervisor, Tom Jackson, marketing and administrative manager for traditional admissions, has made her believe her role is valuable.
"One of Tom's main goals in the office is to ensure that the student ambassadors know we are part of the collective whole of the admissions staff," said Squires, a senior occupational science major. "This is one of his most important roles as our supervisor. He also provides guidance and support to the administrative assistants within the office, ensures prospective students will have a great visit to campus, and collaborates with everyone on campus."
According to Squires, Jackson also tries to have the student ambassadors connect what they're learning in class to what they try to achieve in their work-study role.
"During our staff meetings, he encourages us to incorporate our skill sets and background into our tours and interactions with prospective students and their families," said Squires. "Tom encourages us to work together, ask questions, and be part of a team so that students enjoy their visit to the fullest potential, and make the admissions office run smoothly."
Squires admits that the admissions office can sometimes be a difficult and stressful place to work, since what needs to be accomplished must be accurate, organized, and completed in a timely manner.
"Tom reassures us that yes, while the work can be challenging at times, it is rewarding," said Squires. "He knows how to keep us motivated and working toward the goal of admissions—finding students who will enjoy the Keuka College experience. He will tell us, 'Remember when you're walking on campus, and see people you took on tour who are now enrolled as Keuka College students? Isn't that worth the work?'"
Added Squires: "Tom is a wonderful addition to the admissions office, and a phenomenal work-study supervisor. Without him in the office, I am not so sure things would run as smooth as they do.
Rachel Dewey, communications specialist in the Office of Communication and Keukonian co-adviser, was nominated by Danielle Petrilli, editor of the student newspaper.
"Even with her own hectic schedule, Rachel is always willing to talk with the Keukonian staff if they have any concerns with changes made, or if they have questions about how to interview or get in contact with Keuka staff and faculty," said Petrelli.
Petrilli preaised Dewey for Rachel always having a "welcoming spirit" and being "eager to help in whatever way she possibly can, whether it be story ideas, or how to approach a story lead.
"No one deserves this [award] more than her; she is the most flexible person, and is always willing to set up a time that works for us, as well as keeping me informed of her schedule so I don't just drop in and have her be gone. Rachel keeps us on track, but also allows us to do our jobs without hesitation."

As QE is wound down, has former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan signaled to the world that a triumphant return of gold is on the horizon via gold revaluation?
Alan Greenspan
A Century of ENSLAVEMENT: The History of The Federal Reserve
People who were sitting on the board of the NY Fed, were directing some of these bailout funds directly to their own banks in a blatant, absolutely undeniable conflict of interest that again represent the very heart of this system: it is a system run and operated by bankers, for bankers, and in which bankers tend to do very well, while the rest of the country MELTS DOWN.
How The Fed Has Failed America, Part 2
No new business can borrow Fed money for zero interest. The only entities that can borrow the Fed's free money are banks and other financial parasites.
The truth is the Fed incentivizes and rewards the most parasitic, least productive sector of the economy and forcibly transfers the interest that was once earned by the productive middle class to the parasites. Though the multitudes of apologists, lackeys, toadies, minions and factotums of the Fed will frantically deny it, the inescapable truth is that the nation and the bottom 99.5% would be instantly and forever better off were the Fed closed down and its assets liquidated.
The only way to eliminate the financial parasites is to stop subsidizing their skimming and scamming, and the only way to stop subsidizing the financial parasites is to shut down the Fed.
FOMC Minutes Answer Eric Sprott's Questions Regarding Source of US Gold Exports!
Ahead of today's FOMC statement (and in light of Eric Sprott's 2nd installment of Do Western Central Bankers Have Any Gold Left?), we thought it a good time to recall a conversation between Alan Greenspan and others made at a December 1992 FOMC meeting in which key secrets were revealed regarding manipulation of the gold market by Western Central bankers.
As The Doc discussed with Eric Sprott in our recent interview, the US exported $4 billion in gold in December. Eric pointed out that $4 billion is 2.5 million ounces of gold exported in a single month, when the US produces 8.8 million ounces annually. Eric asked rhetorically where 2.5 million ounces of gold were coming from.
Courtesy Former Chairman Alan Greenspan and the minutes from a Dec 1992 FOMC meeting, we just may have the answer for Mr. Sprott…
Jim Sinclair: If Bernanke Leaves, the Jig is Up & A Monetary Mushroom Cloud is on the Horizon!
Jim Sinclair sent an email update to subscribers this afternoon regarding media reports that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will step down and retire when his current term expires in January of 2014.
Sinclair states that like former Chairman Alan Greenspan who retired immediately preceding the collapse of the housing bubble leaving Bernanke holding the bag, if Bernanke steps down a year from January, it will indicate a monetary mushroom cloud of EPIC PROPORTIONS looms on the immediate horizon and Bernanke has no tools to prevent it.

Seahawks roll past 49ers in noisy Seattle 42-13

SEATTLE - Red Bryant remembers the early years of his career, when the Seattle Seahawks struggled to win only four and five games in his first two seasons.
Getting a 10th win on Sunday night and a trip to the post-season was special to the Seahawks' big defensive end.
"Who has been playing better than us the last few weeks?" Bryant questioned. "This is the National Football League and you don't get any gimmies. We work hard to win. ... It's hard to win in this league."
Russell Wilson threw a career-high four touchdown passes to move into second place for most TD passes by a rookie, Marshawn Lynch scored two first-quarter TDs, and the Seahawks routed the San Francisco 49ers 42-13.
Richard Sherman returned Bryant's blocked field goal 90 yards for another touchdown as the Seahawks (10-5) jumped to a 21-0 lead. That only added to an already hyped crowd on a typically cold and rainy December night, with noise echoing off the walls and overhanging roof of CenturyLink Field that might have been heard all the way across Puget Sound.
No one appeared to care about the weather, not with the performance they were seeing on the field. And not with a ticket to the post-season guaranteed thanks to Seattle's first 10-win season since 2007.
"We knew we were capable of doing this. We had no doubt. Even in Week 1, we knew that we had the talent to do what we're doing now," said wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who had two touchdown receptions. "It took time because we're a young team. We had to mature. We had to grow together, build that chemistry, build that trust out there on the field. That's the most important thing."
Seattle surged into the playoffs on the strength of its sixth win in seven games, putting up dizzying offensive numbers that no one thought would continue against the top scoring defence in the NFL but did.
Seattle has outscored its last three opponents 150-30. The 42 points were the most allowed since Jim Harbaugh took over the 49ers, and the most San Francisco yielded since giving up 45 to Atlanta in 2009. It was the perfect way for Seattle coach Pete Carroll to snap a three-game losing streak against his rival.
"We just try to play really good football and see what happens at the end," Carroll said. "We have been scoring and doing a nice job of it and it would be great If we can keep it rolling."
Seattle will likely be the No. 5 seed in the NFC. There remains a slight chance of winning the NFC West, if the Seahawks beat St. Louis in the season finale and Arizona can upset the 49ers in San Francisco.
The Seahawks, 7-0 at home, delayed San Francisco (10-4-1) from celebrating a division title. They turned Harbaugh's 49th birthday into a miserable evening.
"If you had told me this would be the outcome I wouldn't have believed it," Sherman said. "I would say you're making this up."
Wilson hit Lynch on a 9-yard TD in the first quarter, Anthony McCoy for a 6-yarder late in the first half, and Doug Baldwin on 4 and 6 yard TDs in the second half.
Wilson has 25 TD passes, one behind Peyton Manning's NFL rookie record of 26. He finished 15 of 21 for 171 yards. His only incompletion in the first half was a deflected pass that Patrick Willis intercepted.
Wilson's counterpart, San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick, had already proven himself capable of winning on the road with victories in New Orleans and last week in New England. But Seattle is a different beast, widely regarded by players as the loudest venue in the NFL. His inexperience playing in such an environment showed. He was flustered and disorganized at the line of scrimmage, letting the noise from Seattle's fans affect him.
Kaepernick's forgettable night was capped when Sherman stepped in front of his pass intended for Randy Moss at the back of the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter for his seventh interception of the season.
Kaepernick was 19 of 36 for 244 yards with an 18-yard TD pass to Delanie Walker with 1:40 left. Frank Gore had just 28 yards on six carries after rushing for a season-high 131 when the teams met in Week 7.
"Every time you are on the field you are learning something," Kaepernick said. "We just have to take what we can from this game and move on to next week."
San Francisco played without defensive tackle Justin Smith due to an elbow injury that ended a streak of 185 starts. The 49ers lost tight end Vernon Davis in the first quarter with a concussion sustained when he was knocked off his feet on a huge hit along the sideline from Seattle safety Kam Chancellor that looked legal but drew a penalty for hitting a defenceless receiver.
San Francisco wide receiver Mario Manningham went down with a left leg injury early in the third quarter when he was tackled low by Leroy Hill and fumbled.
The loss of Smith affected the entire defence. Aldon Smith was left stuck on 19 1-2 sacks after being locked up by Seattle offensive tackle Russell Okung.
"We can't make excuses," 49ers' safety Donte Whitner said. "We understand: We lost the football game; we lost an ugly football game."
NOTES: Lynch finished with 111 yards on 26 carries, his third straight game over 100 yards vs. the 49ers. ... Seattle was 11 of 13 on third-down conversions, a season-high. ... The 49ers were held to 82 yards rushing, just the third time this season he was held under 100 yards.

I think that's the point. The goal may be that each spec uses its own armor due to synergies, but if we're forced to use another (for example, Mage armor in PVP as Frost or Fire to lower magic duration), we won't entirely lose a buff. It seems that Frost may also prefer Molten Armor due to crit pulling double duty until the cap of 37.5%. I'm waiting to see how the numbers shake out.

The 2009 vintage celebrates 10 years of producing the Rudd Estate Red from our vineyards in Oakville. The Cabernet Sauvignon was co-fermented with Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petite Verdot. We could not be more pleased with the result of this co-fermentation and the unique lot that is more than the sum of its parts.
Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec, 9% Petite Verdot
"The estate's 2009 Proprietary Red Rudd Estate wraps around the palate with silky dark fruit. Layered, sweet and sensual, the 2009 is laced with attractive scents of mocha, cloves and violets, all of which add complexity to the dark fruit. The 2009 needs a few years to soften, but ultimately it stands out for its textured personality and terrific balance. This undeniably appealing wine is likely to be at its best over the next 10-15 years, give or take. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029."

I work in video game QA, so the concept of beta testing for free is not really something which appeals to me. This article was nice to read, though, as it gave a glimpse at what the PTR is like. Wild West is a good description, and it instantly evoked memories of my early online gaming days in MUDs when the admin would open up the test realms every rare now and then...and the havoc which would ensue. My favorite moment from back then would have to be convincing an admin on a test realm to give my rogue the ability to try out the skills from every other class in the game. On that toon. At once. Quite fun few hours...until the admin made me duel him. :P Doubt WoW's PTR is quite as anarchic as the test servers the smaller games have, but there is something cheeky and exciting about being able to experience a game you know in an entirely new way, with rules and regulations suspended, without consequences for your crazy/expensive/deadly choices.

Rated 3 / 5 stars August 12, 2013
Alrighty, trance review time! Here goes nothing.
The Good:
-The mixing is typically clean, which is nice. There's no clipping causing any particular problem.
-The instruments are pretty nice, they're very relaxing on the ears.
-The chord progression is another good point about this, it's quite relaxing. I'm going to guess that was the intention, but all the same it's very nice.
-That's a really good buildup to 2:20.
The Not-So-Good:
-Okay, now we're getting into the painful stuff. There is no melodic development whatsoever. It would sound much better if the melody changed even a little bit. One theme can only take you so far, and while the overall sound is fairly good, there needs to be a little bit of variation.
-Buildups consisting of nothing but sidechained white noise such as at 0:29 don't particularly sound very good when they have nothing to back them up.
-The filter sweeps at 0:55 and 1:23 aren't very well-executed. The first doesn't have enough strength behind it, and the second is barely noticeable unless you're specifically analyzing the piece.
-The mix gets fairly stressed and muddy at times such as 2:00-2:18 and 2:20-3:14.
Overall: Good for EDM, issues are mainly a severe lack of variation and some transition issues. I know it's a work-in-progress (otherwise I would have said that the ending SUCKS), and that the final piece is finished, but here's what you requested for a review, so here's what you're getting.
thanks for ur input but the song is completed, Universe anthem..
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 6, 2013
i love the build in the beginning! it sounds really good! :D
Thanks :) iworking hard to get it done :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 6, 2013
Yeah, man...pretty epic. The build was maybe a little bit too long (2:30 before the kick drops the first time??) but I guess you're just operating on a grand scale here! I love all the sounds and the general mix, though.
yea i working on it, almost getting there few elements that needs to be changed :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 1, 2013
Wow coming from you Terra this is pretty epic. Best work of your I have seen in years! Keep it coming!!!
thanks mate itry get it done :=)
Rated 4 / 5 stars June 20, 2013
classic trance sound! intro is probably a touch long, would probably work better as a second buildup imo. can't really fault the mix much, a bit more definition in the bassline once the kick drops in would probably give the track more energy. melody isn't super inspired yet, but it's a wip and all that.
intro isent complete yet :) i still fighting with kick EQ, bass freq, melody progress.

Judge Rules Michael Jackson Wrongful Death Suit Can Go To Jury
Nearly two years ago, Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years in jail after a LA County jury found the doctor guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Michael Jackson's 2009 death. At trial, experts for the prosecution argued Dr. Murray was guilty of gross medical malpractice when he fatally infused the anesthesia drug propofol into Jackson for insomnia when the drug is intended for patients during surgery. An LA County jury is now hearing a civil wrongful death suit against the entertainment promotion company, AEG Live, brought on behalf of Jackson's mother and his children. Last week, the trial judge rejected AEG's motion to dismiss allowing the case to continue to go forward as both sides prepare for remaining witnesses and closing arguments.
The legal theory against AEG is less straightforward than the criminal medical malpractice case against Dr. Murray. The Jackson family lawyers argue AEG negligently hired, retained or supervised Dr. Murray to be Jackson's physician, paying him $150,000 a month, when they knew or should have known Dr. Murray presented an unreasonable risk of harm to Jackson. Specifically, the lawyers argue AEG contractually agreed to pay Dr. Murray $150,000 a month, an extraordinary figure for any physician to simply treat one patient, when AEG knew Dr. Murray was in desperate need of money and knew he would lose all his income if the tour was postponed or cancelled because of Jackson's deteriorating health. The lawyers argue this financial tension for Dr. Murray created a medical conflict of interest and ultimately contributed to Dr. Murray's decision to prescribe Jackson an illegal and highly dangerous drug in order to continue preparing for his tour.
AEG's lawyers argue they did not hire or control Dr. Murray--Jackson did. As a result, they contend they cannot be responsible for anything Dr. Murray did wrong. They further claim they had no way of knowing that Dr. Murray was giving Jackson the potentially fatal anesthesia drug, propofol, to treat Jackson for insomnia.

He does not have the "grace" of a Sachin Tendulkar nor the "silky soft hands" behind stumps like Syed Kirmani but Mahendra Singh Dhoni will retire as one of India's top three players of all time, feels former Australian cricketer Dean Jones. "If I asked you who were the top three Indian cricketers of all time, would you have M.S. Dhoni among them? Well, if you don't, you will by the time he retires," Jones wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"The recent retirements of Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and V.V.S. Laxman have allowed Dhoni the opportunity to bat higher and show us all that his batting alone can match some of the greats. Sure he hasn't made the runs yet, but after his epic 224 in Chennai, he has gained even more respect from the hardcore Indian fans," he explained. "Dhoni is an enigmatic figure in Indian cricket. He doesn't have the technique or grace of Sachin Tendulkar, Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar or Gundappa Viswanath. Nor does he possess the silky soft hands of Syed Kirmani behind the stumps," he opined.

Proposed downtown arena gets private financing commitment
Construction magnate Willard Hackerman pledges to lead group to raise funds for new hotel and 18,500-seat arena
- 1

- | single page
News of Hackerman's offer was made public Wednesday at the annual meeting of the Greater Baltimore Committee, a private business group that has been exploring ways to build an arena that would be combined with an expanded convention center to bolster the city's tourism business and add life to Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
Whiting-Turner Contracting Co., attended the meeting but declined to comment. According to GBC officials, Hackerman has been actively involved in planning for the arena and convention center expansion, and hired Ayers Saint Gross, a Baltimore-based architecture firm, to develop the designs unveiled Wednesday.
GBC leaders also showed preliminary designs demonstrating how a 25-story hotel could rise above the arena and expanded convention center. The proposed construction site, owned partly by Hackerman and partly by the city, is bounded roughly by Pratt, Charles, Conway and Sharp streets but does not include the Old Otterbein Church on Conway Street.
GBC officials and others say that Hackerman has the financial ability to raise private money for both the arena and hotel and that he wants Whiting-Turner to build them.
"Mr. Hackerman has pledged to the governor and the mayor that he will engage in creating a private … partnership that will privately finance the arena and the hotel," said Donald C. Fry, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Baltimore Committee. "He sees this as a transformative project that can have a significant impact on downtown Baltimore, and he would like to see that. … It would result in a great revitalization of the area."
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, speaking at the GBC meeting, said she was pleased to see private-sector support for the project. "I would like to thank Willard Hackerman for his vision and his commitment to our city," she said.
Gov. Martin O'Malley, also at the meeting, said, "Thank you, Mr. Hackerman."
Much of the project's appeal to Hackerman, Fry and others say, is the combination of an arena and an expanded convention center in one location.
"We have an opportunity for Baltimore that we think is unique on the East Coast — the opportunity to put together a conference center with an arena in a way that would allow us to bring in groups that can't come to Baltimore today," Fry said.
"This concept, combined with the nearby baseball and football stadiums, gives us a chance to accomplish a dramatic transformation of the Inner Harbor into a sports, entertainment and recreation venue that would be largely unrivaled in the nation."
While other cities combine arenas and convention centers, none has united facilities the size of those proposed for Baltimore, said Adam Gross, Hackerman's architect.
The joint facilities would boost Baltimore's convention business by enabling the expanded convention center to accommodate two or three large shows or meetings at the same time — something it can't do now, said Tom Noonan, executive director of Visit Baltimore, the city's convention and tourism agency.
"This would be a hybrid building that doesn't exist anywhere else in the country," Noonan said. "It would give us the opportunity to do a lot of convention business in Baltimore and make us a lot more productive. It would make us really difficult to compete with."
As head of one of the largest construction firms in the country, Hackerman has built many of Baltimore's best-known landmarks, including Harborplace, the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
An engineer and a 1938 graduate of the Johns Hopkins University, Hackerman also owns commercial properties in Baltimore, including the office tower at 750 West Pratt St. and the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel at Charles and Conway streets.
Preliminary plans by Ayers Saint Gross call for a four-level convention center expansion, an 18,500-seat arena over two levels of underground parking, a 500-room hotel, and stores and restaurants facing Pratt, Charles and Conway streets.
The expansion would give Baltimore a convention center with 760,000 square feet of ballroom, meeting and exhibit space, more than twice that of the existing convention center. The estimated price of $900 million to $940 million would make it one of the most expensive projects ever envisioned for downtown Baltimore.
Fry said Hackerman originally indicated that he would fund the construction of a 500-room hotel to replace his 320-room Sheraton hotel, garage and parking lot, which would be displaced by the larger project.

These pyramids (made of the rock shell substance coquina) are in the small U.S. National Cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida. The plaque says that 1,466 soldiers killed in the Indian Wars are buried beneath them.
The cemetery grew around the pyramids. I could find nothing to explain the significance in choosing these symbols (at that particular time and place) for fallen soldiers of war.
Interesting esoteric thought was used in the early 1800s in northern Florida, in a territory originally settled by the Spanish, and a fairly new U.S. territory.
The Indian Wars in which these soldiers died were from 1835-1843.

Four centres of excellence in electronic health research are to be set up.
A partnership of 10 government and charity funders will establish the centres in London, Manchester, Dundee and Swansea, thanks to an investment of £19 million.
They will open towards the end of the year, with the aim of putting health records at the heart of medical research in the UK. Each centre will do cutting-edge research which links electronic health records with other forms of research and data. A range of health conditions will be investigated, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Researchers aim to identify more effective treatments, improve drug safety, assess risks to public health and study the causes of diseases and disability.
Professor Sir John Savill, chief executive of the Medical Research Council, said: "This is a watershed moment for data research and for the Medical Research Council, which I believe will deliver the benefits of e-health research, improving patient care over the coming years.
"The way in which the partner organisations have come together to invest in e-health underpins its importance and will help establish the UK as a world leader in this field."
Universities and Science Minister David Willetts said: "Thanks to the NHS and the UK's world-leading research base, we are uniquely positioned to use patient data to study disease and develop better treatments.
"The e-health centres are the first of their kind and have the potential to revolutionise health research. They will provide a vital insight into conditions affecting millions of people and ultimately bring benefits for patients."
Professor Andrew Morris, dean of the University of Dundee's school of medicine and chief scientist at the Scottish Government's health department, said: "This builds upon over 40 years' experience of using electronic patient records not only to drive improvements in the quality of healthcare in Scotland but also to innovate in the way we deliver clinical trials and discover the best treatment options for patients and communities."
The four centres are funded by Arthritis Research UK, the British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research UK, the Chief Scientist Office (Scottish Government Health Directorates), the Economic and Social Research Council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Medical Research Council, the National Institute for Health Research, the National Institute for Social Care and Health Research (Welsh Government) and the Wellcome Trust.

Press Releases
February 3, 2011
~ Switch thrown at 6 on February 7, 2011 ~
Milwaukee, WI -- (February 3, 2011) MPTV Channel 36.1 will join sister station 10.1 in broadcasting programs in high definition starting Monday, February 7, at 6:00 a.m. The first program to air on 36.1 HD will be WAI LANA YOGA "Chair Poses." The first program to air on 10.1 HD was the MPTV produced GREAT LAKES GARDENER in 2001. Last September, to prepare for this switch, MPTV realigned its standard definition channels 10.2 World, 10.3 Vme, 10.4 Weather, 36.3 Create, 36.4 Classical, 36.5 Jazz, and 36.6 Traffic to provide an adequate bandwidth allocation for 36.1 HD. High definition has several times more pixels than standard definition which makes the picture much sharper.
According to MPTV General Manager Ellis Bromberg, "We had always intended to transition Channel 36.1 to high definition, but did not have the equipment in place when Channel 10.1 went HD. We were able to include it in this year's budget, however, and the timing couldn't be better. More and more programs, including all MPTV's local productions, are now being produced in HD, and we want our viewers to be able to enjoy them with the best video and audio available -- which is HD."
Later, on Monday evening at 8:00 p.m., viewers of MPTV 36.1 HD can view the MASTERPIECE CLASSIC My Boy Jack, the story of British literary giant Rudyard Kipling's son Jack (Daniel Radcliffe/Harry Potter), who triggers a bitter family conflict when he joins the Irish Guard at the outset of World War I. Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City) also stars.
MPTV is a community-supported service of Milwaukee Area Technical College. Since its inception, MPTV has educated, entertained, and inspired. Today, MPTV offers viewers a family of 10 digital channels - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. MPTV Viewer services can be reached at 414-297-7520, email@example.com, Twitter and Facebook.

Win a Joe Satriani 'Chrome Dome' + 'The Complete Recordings' Box Set Prize Pack
We're giving away five copies of Joe Satriani's box set, with one winner receiving a limited-edition USB drive of the collection.
We're giving away five copies of Joe Satriani's box set, with one winner receiving a limited-edition USB drive of the collection.
Joe Satriani says that a new Chickenfoot record will happen.
Sammy Hagar and Joe Satriani have been discussing their next project.
The career of guitar whiz Joe Satriani will be the subject of a new box set. On April 22, Sony/Legacy Recordings will release 'Joe Satriani: The Complete Studio Recordings,' a retrospective spanning his nearly 30 years as a solo artist.
The future of guitar playing arrived in stores 26 years ago, courtesy of Joe Satriani's epochal second album, and de facto public coming out party, 1987's 'Surfing with the Alien.'
Aside from being one of rock's more distinctive vocalists, Sammy Hagar is a pretty decent guitarist. But for big chunks of his career, he's had the good fortune of not having to lean on his own chops. In fact, he's played with some of the genre's best axemen, including two of rock's greatest living guitarists: Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen.
'Sammy Hagar & Friends' might be the most guest star-studded rock records of the fall, and Hagar has just released the video for 'Knockdown Dragout,' which features Joe Satriani, Denny Carmassi, and Kid Rock.
"Satch Boogie" is one of Joe Satrini's famous pieces, from the album 'Surfing With The Alien."
Chickenfoot's Joe Satriani has shared the tracklist and cover for his 14th studio effort. 'Unstoppable Momentum' is set for release on May 7 via Epic Records.
Satriani completed writing the album after a series of dates with Chicke
One high powered band with classic rock band-mates that will make you say, "WOW'. Rock-N- Roll is alive and well.

For financing purposes, the International Development Association (IDA) groups fragile states in four categories:
IDA provides financing primarily through the Performance-Based Allocation system, which emphasizes performance, while factoring in country needs. For fragile and conflict-affected countries, particularly post-conflict countries the Bank takes into account the special circumstances of the country.
Because of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI), IDA, the AfDF and IMF all canceled their debt for countries reaching Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) completion point. Cancelling the debt freed resources in these countries to meet their developmental needs. See more under Debt (link to 'Dept' page)

Champions League T20 still battling for meaning
The thrills are rather low-octane, the skills are a bit lightweight, and the tournament overly India-centric

Busy keepers, and Waqar's bowleds
Also, high scores and low averages, most ducks in international cricket, and the 12-year-old Test player
Of the 85 Tests that Bangladesh have played so far, they've lost 70 and won just four. Those stats are easily the worst among all teams when they'd played as many Tests

Hi, I start apologizing because I will give any of you that want to help me an hard time.
I am using an EEG device and an alternate current stimulator (tACS).
I have a normal EEG electrode that it is attached both to the EEG amplifier, and at the stimulator, to alternate recording and stimulation, without changing cables
The problem is that when I stimulate the current will flow from the stimulator to the channel and then directly to the amplifier. This will cause two problems:
The stimulation will not flow out to the channel and will not pass to the brain, making all the story pointless.
The amplifier handles brain signals to the range of 1 - 100 milliVolts, while the stimulator stimulates up to 1 milliAmpere. So the impulse from the stimulator coming back will break the amplifier.
My question is:
Can I use arduino to put a resistance in a circuit when the signal exceeds a certain threshold? So activating a switch between the electrode and the amplifier when the signal is too high. So when I am stimulating the current flows from the stimulator to the channel to the reference of the stimulator (on the other side of the head), and when I am not stimulating the signal is not distorted by the arduino?
I am sorry, I am pretty ignorant about arduino and even the simplest physic behind what I want to do. But knowing that it would be possible to realize this with arduino will push me and my group to put the necessary effort in it.
Thanks, Valerio

A 6th Grader Brings $20,000 in Cash to School And Hands It Out to Classmates [VIDEO]
Have you guys, check out this story. A sixth-grader from Michigan brought a backpack stuffed full of cash -- $20,000 in cash that is! Not only did the student bring the cash to school, but handed out the cash in $100 bills to classmates.

Pope Francis celebrated his first mass in the Sistine Chapel Thursday. The cardinals who elected him were also there.
He is now leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics. He is also the first pontiff from the new world and the first Jesuit to lead the church.
His humility and focus on serving the poor has already inspired Catholics in Tampa Bay. They say the more they learn about him, the more they like him.
"It just seems to me this is what we need at this time for the church, and what it is really all about -- taking care of our brothers and sisters," said Jeanie Fitzsimmons-Brown. She reflected on Pope Francis's potential impact outside Sacred Heart church in downtown Tampa.
LINK: Who is Pope Francis?
"He's what our country needs, what the church needs, what the world needs," she said.
Within ten years, church leaders say Hispanics will make up 35 percent of the Catholic Church here in Tampa Bay.
Pope Francis could drive those numbers up. His humility and focus on the poor could pay off for the church.
"That's the kind of pope we should have -- someone humble with people, and not into ostentatious things," said Alejandra Marin of Tampa.
The church needs a pope who will inspire young people, and he certainly seemed to do so at Jesuit High School Wednesday: student leapt to their feet when they learned the new pope is a Jesuit.
LINK: For Jesuit students and priests, a moment to remember
He is the first Jesuit pope, an order of priests known as intellectuals, who have quite an independent streak.
And over time, he could have a big influence on the Catholic Church in Tampa Bay. Vatican watchers say this will a very different kind of pope.
"He is a man who lives a very simple lifestyle. He takes his vow of poverty very seriously, he refused to live in the bishop's palace, he moved to a very simple apartment, cooked his own meals and he didn't want the chauffeur driven limousine that the bishop normally had. He takes the bus to work," said Father Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and analyst for the National Catholic Reporter.
Bishop Robert Lynch leads the Diocese of St. Petersburg. He said Pope Francis could regain lost trust after scandals that have rocked the nation, and inspire positive change by leading through example.
Lynch also said if you give the impression you're somehow isolated from challenges of daily living, people will tune you out. But they will follow somebody they believe shares their life and their ups and their downs.

I got nothing guys... Sorry. Did cardio this morning and am seeing Ender's Game tonight. I finished the book yesterday. The concept was interesting but I couldn't really get into the book. I enjoy sci-fi movies (sometimes) but don't care much to read it.
The writing is going fairly well. I got some fun assignments. I applied for a job with a humor website and the managing editor of the site called me last week to tell me my cover letter was the funniest letter he's ever seen and can he pay me to publish it.... Ummm... yeah! They also want me to write for them so I submitted something this morning. It's a website that features true stories and funny pictures or videos. I love writing humor but a lot of freelance writing is very dry and very boring. So, if I can supplement the dry boring stuff with fun stuff, that will be gravy. I'm still working on getting accepted to a few other sites.
I don't know if I told you all but I'm biting the bullet and getting allergy shots. I go for my scratch test on Thursday. I have to go into the office for the magic injection every two weeks anyway and while I'll have to go in more frequently for the allergy shots (1x or 2x a week) so I'm just going to accept this as part of my life for now. In the meantime, I've been off anti-histamines since Sunday and it's kind of hard. It's not as bad as the last time I did it, but still not fun. I'll survive though.
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 12:35pm
lol on the clever word. I've been too busy today to get here until now. My sister's mother-in-law died yesterday so I am going to be tied up with family things the next few days. Her mother-in-law lived not far from where I live so everyone is coming in starting this evening.
Gym your writing career is fascinating! I can't imaging writing a cover letter so great someone wants to publish it. I struggle horribly with cover letters.
Today is a rest day for me. I have a blister (from new dress shoes) that was aggravated by my 7 mile run on Sunday so I need to let it heal before it turns into a horrible sore. My feet are so sensitive that I have to be very careful with socks to make sure they don't rub wrong. Ugg
I'm looking at a 8K race for next month. I've never done an 8K run event and it is a very challenging course (hills) so I am thinking about giving it a try. I have decided to stop even thinking about the weather. I am just going to make plans and stick to them come hail or high water. ;-)
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 1:00pm
Good for you on the race!
Have you tried moleskin on your blisters? I am the Blister Queen and always have some at home. It's wonderful.
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 1:23pm
I have but I don't keep it handy. In fact, I need to add that to my shopping list. I don't want this blister ruining the rest of the week for me.
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 4:06pm
I love your wit and humor, GR... you have a fun way of looking at things. I am just dry, dry, dry. Karla, dh uses a lot of Vaseline and Nu-Skin and Glide (?) for marathon training/running On any and all areas that "rub."
this gloomy weather is making me want to sleep. I learned that one of my customers has been hospitalized for the second time. He has been so good to me...I feel really sad...so many of my customers have been almost fatherly to me. :(. I don't know if he is going to make it. :(. I have to make a business plan tonight, so I am not sure if I am going to get out of the house for a workout, although I probably should. I DID go to early morning yoga, but it wouldn't be bad to go again, or to at least train the pup a little bit.
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 7:45pm
I love how your writing career is taking off! Is it something you've always wanted to do? I used to want to be a writer/journalist but my parents were too practical to pay for a degree in either for me.
Yikes, I'm wiped about by puppy and need to learn that it's okay for her to yip (same problem I had w/ my kids). I'm up every couple of hours at night. At least she'e mellow during the day and sleeps a lot. It takes me effort to get her to romp around but I think she's still getting used to being here. I'm still floored how I went in wanting a medium size dog, older, that I could run with and ended up w/ a puppy chihuahua mix. I'm going to feel so safe running w/ her!
I met up w/ a couple of friends and did parkour/conditioning outside today. I'm thinking it must be a sight old women trying to run over rails and all. If we were good, it would be one thing but I think this looks like we're acting. OTOH, I realized that the basement walk up we had put in is the perfect place to do parkour. I've been doing jumps at the taller side and wall runs when it's steeper. I can run up something taller than myself now--that's running at the wall, leap so your foot hits it and then grabbing the wall above and pulling yourself up and over. When I told my daughter I was going out to practice in the backyard and that she should call 911 if she hears a loud scream, she said, "Mom???"
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 7:48pm
Ow, I never wear dress shoes because of that. I decided I could run or wear dress shoes and running won out. Have you tried body glude? It works wonders in preventing blisters. Not as helpful in dress shoes when you're not expecting them. I must have feet of steel at this point. I've gotten blisters that have become bloody and popped and only realized it when I take off my shoes and see my socks stuck to my feet, after a long run. When I was rowing, I wore these new shoesa nd my heels got huge blisters that popped and it was a raw area in the back and stayed that way. Okay, I'll stop w/ the gory stories now.

The Bellingham Consolidated Plan presents a strategic vision for housing, human services and community development within the City, and is a requirement for receiving federal block grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated Plan is the community's choice, within HUD parameters, for how the grant funds will be used in the City.
Each year an Action Plan is created to detail the activities and funding allocation for the coming year. This Action Plan is also the application to HUD for federal grant funds, and is the basis for assessing performance as reported in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is an annual report for the City of Bellingham's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME investment Partnership Program (HOME) programs.
