Updates for Interpreters and Interpreter Agencies
Important Notice:
A person claiming to represent the Minnesota Department of Health has been calling interpreters on the roster and asking to interview them during the evening, at a hotel. The Minnesota Department of Health is NOT requesting interviews with interpreters. For reasons of safety, we encourage you not to meet with anyone unless you can verify their identity and you meet in an area visible to the public.
If you have any questions or concerns about this notice, contact the Minnesota Department of Health at 651-201-3721.
Email Addresses
It is your responsibility to keep a current email address on record with the Department of Health by updating your on-line interpreter profile. If your email address is not current, you will not receive a notice when your roster listing is about to expire. Nor will you receive periodic emails providing critical information about the practice of interpreting in Minnesota.
Ethical Responsibilities
As a practicing healthcare interpreter, you are expected to adhere to published codes of ethics for interpreters who work in the field of health care. You can review those codes of ethics:
- International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) Code of Ethics
- National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC) Code of Ethics (PDF: 23 pages)
Please pay particular attention to the following provisions from NCIHC:
The interpreter maintains the boundaries of the professional role, refraining from personal involvement.
If you have a personal relationship with an individual, you should not act as an interpreter for this individual. If you must interpret for this individual because of limited numbers of people who speak a language, you must keep your role as an interpreter separate from your other interactions with this individual or his or her family. You may not use information you learn while interpreting for your own interests. This means you cannot use that information to try to keep a client or to become the interpreter for client's family members.
The interpreter strives to render the message accurately, conveying the context and spirit of the original message, taking into consider its cultural context.
The interpreter must convey everything that is said by the medical provider and the client in its entirety. You cannot respond for a client based on what you know or think you know about the client. You must interpret all dialogs between the client and the provider. This includes questions and answers about contact information for the client, as well as medical information.

Check out this style from Dominique-Alexis of Natural-hair-care-info.com.
Braided Mohawk
Skill level: Advanced
Turning heads and receiving compliments from all, a braided Mohawk is a hairstyle only for the daring! The key to mastering this style is using the most unique braids imaginable leading up to the curly/wavy/straight hair.
There are two basic ways to do this hairstyle: with extensions and without. Keep in mind that the longer the hair, the more extreme the style seems.
For this style, you need:
- Rat Tail Comb
- Hair Moisturizer
- Wide tooth comb
- Rubber bands
- Hair Clips
- Extensions (optional)
You get bonus points if you use curly extensions or a color different than your own in the back! Or do flat twists instead of cornrows!
For natural hair …part your hair in three sections, all parts going straight back. The thickness of the parts is up to you, but remember that the middle one is the one that makes up the actual Mohawk part of the hairstyle.
Pin the middle section up. Start braiding your cornrows up towards the middle of your hair, secure with a rubber band when you run out of hair to add to the cornrow.
Keep cornrowing and repeat on the other side for a look that is absolutely incredible! I made her hair curly by doing two-strand twists the night before, then taking them out the following morning, but this is opional.
For hair with extensions added …since you're adding so much hair, part hair straight down the middle. Select the most difficult style that you can handle and start cornrowing the extensions up towards your part.
When you run out of hair which will allow your cornrows to stick to the head, tie with a rubber band and fluff the ends up. Continue until finished and repeat on other side. Now, you're ready to rock the streets and dominate the dance floor!

Green Stocking Stuffer: Chico Bag
We were browsing over at ecofabulous and happened upon the Chico Bag.
Yes, it's another reusable tote.
However, this one seems especially suited for a stocking. It's tiny -- small enough that you can actually clip it onto your keychain -- but it also has a 20 lb. capacity.
The bags are $5 at the Chico Bag online store, but can also be purchased in-person at a number of retailers -- just type your zip code in the Chico Bag locator.
We're thinking reusable totes will be a hot stocking stuffer among green gift givers this season. If you hurry, you should be able to get a Chico Bag just in time!
4 Comments
I bought a ton of these to give out for Christmas. THEY ARE QUITE SMALL. They don't have the capacity of a regular paper grocery bag which is a bit dissappointing.
Looks are deceiving with these bags. They look small, but fit a good amount of groceries. Certainly at least as much as a standard paper bag-- I'd actually say more simply because they are much stronger. They can be stuffed until bulging and won't break like a paper or regular plastic bag. We bought 4, but rarely ever use more than two at a time (weekly shopping for two adults).
And they conveniently can be stuffed into a small little pouch that is sewn into the interior of the bag for storage, although I just toss them in my purse as is.
They aren't the sexiest looking bags, but they are all I use.
I am absolutely in love with my Chico Bag. I've been using it non-stop for well over a year and it's just beginning to show signs of wear. It holds a tremendous amount of stuff and packs up so nice and small in its little attached pouch. Love, I tell you, love!
I second the statement that they hold a ton! They are rated to 20 pounds, and I am sure that I have filled mine at least that full. I am amazed every time I pack several bags full of groceries into one bag. Indeed, appearances are deceiving!
They are also great because if you own a few they fit compactly in the car door, the purse, etc., so that I always have one on hand. I also think they are "sexy" I've got a black one that doesn't make me feel like a hobo when I use it a Target or other places that don't expect their customers to be using reusable bags.

A Hillsdale police sergeant tells Patch that Daniil Maksimenko, 22, was working at the Northwood Imo's Pizza in North Oaks Plaza off Natural Bridge Road near Lucas & Hunt when he was ambushed and killed.
(See photos of Maksimenko at KMOV.com)
Investigators said they got the call around 12:45 a.m. Saturday of a traffic accident at 2144 Erick Avenue in Hillsdale.
"We received a call of a traffic accident and a car in a ditch," said a Hillsdale police sergeant who requested his name not be published in the article. "It was later discovered that he had gunshot wounds."
Police said Maksimenko was sent out to that location on a delivery, but when he arrived to deliver the pizza, he never made it out of his car before he was shot multiple times, including in the head.
"He was robbed and murdered," the sergeant tells Patch. "They got away with a large sum of money."
Authorites said Maksimenko's car then went through an open field and stopped in some bushes where he was found incoherent by rescue crews. He later died at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
( Sign up here for the FREE Patch Newsletter, including Breaking News Alerts.)
Hillsdale police said one person is in custody as of early Monday morning, but police are still searching for suspects.
"There are more suspects at large," the sergeant tells Patch.
Meanwhile, Maksimenko's family is searching for answers.
"I don't know what's true and what's not," his older brother Roman Maksimenko tells Patch.
He said his brother Daniil lived in Ballwin, but worked at that Imo's Pizza for three years.
"A friend recommended the job for him," Maksimenko explained. He said his brother graduated from in 2008.
(Follow Patch on Facebook for updates- check out our page and "Like" it here.)
According to FOX 2 News, the one suspect in custody, a 20-year-old from Hillsdale, is now charged with second degree murder and first degree robbery with a $250,000 cash only bond.
However, police are still not releasing that suspect's name in an effort to not hinder the investigation as they search for additional suspects.
FOX2 also reports, police believe the other suspects may be hiding out in homes around the Hillsdale crime scene.
Anyone with information is asked to contact St. Louis County Police Dispatch at 314 889-2341. St. Louis County police are investigating and dispatch for the Hillsdale Police Department.
Anonymous tips can also be called in to
Crime Stoppers at 866-371-TIPS.
Crime Stoppers offers a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to a
felony arrest. Tips must be submitted to CrimeStoppers to receive the reward.

Gnu Park Pickle BTX Snowboard
The Pickle Tickle
Once you strap into this board there is no going back. the flex on the pickle will slay anything you put under you feet; the pop is equal of better than the skate banana. The asymmetric side cut really helps set up your front side spins. The magna-traction cut in to the ice and gives you extra security. This is my favorite board, especially in this price range. If your in the market for a rocker freestyle/park board; i couldn't recommend anything better.

According to FoxSportsOhio.com's Sam Amico, "Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Denver are among the teams that might make a play for Utah forward Paul Millsap at the deadline." Whether Amico includes Denver in the running for Millsap by first-hand knowledge of trade discussions or simply because the Nuggets have the pieces to make a trade, is obviously up the air. Nevertheless, it is interesting seeing Denver mentioned in connection with Millsap, as the Nuggets already have a very similar power forward in Kenneth Faried and are, of course, a division rival of the Utah Jazz.
|Nene, C 35 MIN | 8-15 FG | 2-7 FT | 6 REB | 3 AST | 18 PTS | -4
I don't grade the boxscores. Yes, Nene scored 18 points with decent efficiency, but he missed 5 free throws and had 5 turnovers on the night. Nene was the key to this game for the Nuggets and came up short when it mattered most. Poor rebounding, poor defense, and poor shot selection. He looked like Koufos out there with the array of underhand flip shots, soft floaters and hooks underneath the rim.
|Danilo Gallinari, SF 30 MIN | 2-6 FG | 12-12 FT | 4 REB | 4 AST | 18 PTS | -9
Gallo must be more aggressive for the Nuggets to have a chance. He came into the fourth quarter with a grand total of 3 field goal attempts. Gallo gets credit for making all of his 12 free throw attempts and doing some creative work with the ball in his hands. I liked him running pick and rolls with the Jazz aggressively trapping Lawson. He tallied 4 assists and had no turnovers. Just way too passive and once again he was eaten alive at the power forward spot – which is purely a coaching mistake.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 18 MIN | 3-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 6 PTS | -3
Mozgov's rebounding instincts are really bad, but beyond that he was the best big man the Nuggets had in this game. He was active during his minutes but nothing about his performance really stood out. He needs to be tougher and the coaches need to trust him more.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 35 MIN | 4-10 FG | 6-10 FT | 8 REB | 0 AST | 16 PTS | -4
He certainly played hard, perhaps harder than anyone else on the floor, but his mistakes were costly and momentum killing. Two flat out terrible travels, a couple of out of control drives to the hoop and once again incredibly un-clutch shooting and huge missed free throws. I give him an A+ for effort, but results are all that matters.
|Ty Lawson, PG 37 MIN | 6-16 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 8 AST | 13 PTS | -6
What a tough game for Lawson. I think he would have easily scored close to 20 had he not missed some bunnies at the rim. Lawson's energy was there, but his teammates looked slow and out of sync. Lawson should be able to have unspectacular, solid nights like this and still be in a position to win. Much like Afflalo, Ty couldn't catch a break tonight but he made far fewer mistakes than anyone else on the floor.
|Al Harrington, PF 24 MIN | 5-11 FG | 0-2 FT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 10 PTS | -3
Harrington deserves credit for being the only bench player showing fire and competitive spirit. He had 4 steals, scored fairly efficiently and really, you can't complain about his numbers. His defense was atrocious and he was another one making crucial mistakes in a close game when it mattered the most. I'll take less production out of Harrington for fewer fouls and smarter basketball plays. Harrington was worse than his numbers and that trend is not exclusive to this game.
|Andre Miller, PG 20 MIN | 2-2 FG | 1-2 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 5 PTS | -11
Looked like he didn't care. Just a shocking performance all around. Failed to contribute anything and completely killed the team's spirit and energy every moment he was on the floor. Miller looks lost and does not seem like he ever wants to be found.
|Chris Andersen, C 9 MIN | 0-1 FG | 2-2 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -2
Andersen had 4 blocks, but one was erroneously credited to him when it should have been Corey Brewer's. Birdman put up somewhat of a fight, but he did not block anyone out and was bullied down low by the much more physical Utah Jazz. One rebound is not acceptable. Birdman's game and his athleticism are broken down to a point he should not be in the rotation. It isn't his fault because I do believe he is trying. On this team, he is the wrong guy and the wrong fit – Karl should have kept him on the bench and should continue to.
|Corey Brewer, SF 19 MIN | 2-6 FG | 3-4 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 8 PTS | -2
Brewer's energetic style finally produced his first sub-par performance of the season. He is too aggressive bodying up his man at the three-point line, giving up wide open lanes to the basket for no reason. He took some questionable shots and did not play a controlled game. Brewer needs to show he can be more than a crazed maniac running around the court creating chaos.
|Rudy Fernandez, SG 9 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 0 PTS | -6
Rudy got hurt, but he started the game poorly with little energy. This grade is an incomplete and losing him turned out to be costly. The Nuggets had to rely heavily on Andre Miller and we all know that ended
|Kosta Koufos, C 2 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 0 AST | 0 PTS | 0
Koufos should have played more, but he only came in for a split second after Birdman tweaked a muscle. I can't remember seeing him do anything, so let's go with an incomplete.

As some of you know I am writing a couple of fantasy novels and I might self publish them. I still need some cover art though. What is a good place to meet people who do commissions, other than Deviantart?
What about ConceptArt.org?
Though there's only a dozen or so artist's posting work at Dementia 5 Publishing, the place I'm doing Kaidan through - all my illustrators are from that site. I got good deals on prices for work, so it might be worth checking out.
Dementia 5 site click on the Community, then visit Art Forum.
Posting in the http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12 area of concept art is a good way to get a lot of responses.
Equally, you'll get a good response from rpg.net:
It's also worth looking through the guys on the artorder blog and seeing how much they charge - you certainly get a good idea of the skill level from the weekly challenges:
Thanks for the quick responses so far, guys. I will check out all the links.
Are you that close to finishing or just thinking ahead? :)
Wow, good work! What size? Resolution? Level of detail? Do you want the artist to also do the layout? Will it be a wrap around cover, or just a front cover?
If it's a wrap around then you might be interested in this artorder challenge:
As for ballpark prices, it's going to be a couple of hundred dollars at least I'd expect, but I'm not an expert. You can certainly contact a few artists and ask for their rates for the task you are describing - and the more precise you can be, the more accurate their quotes will be. However it's certainly better to have a figure in mind before you go asking. You'll find a lot of quotes will be well above the couple of hundred dollar mark. The trick is in finding someone who wants the experience and is good. ConceptArt is probably a good bet for that as there are lots of art students on there.
There'd be a lot of garbage to wade through, but a lot of great artists have work up on Elfwood (I even have a gallery there, but I'm a mediocre artist, at best). If you dig into those that are most favorited or the Mod's Choice there, you'll find some great work, and some of those folks are often open to commissions work.
I wouldn't give up on traditional publishing outlets, completely. Although, I've heard of some who have found success by self-publishing first, and attracting the attention of mainstream publishers thereby, but it seems like it's a pretty rare story.

What happens if I am dismissed from a law school for academic reasons?
Standard 303: Academic Standards and Achievements states that a law school shall have clearly definied standards for good standing and graduation.
Standard 505: Previously Disqualified Applicant addresses the instance under which a student who has
been dismissed for academic reasons may be readmitted or admitted to another school.
The Section's Council will not intervene with an approved law school on behalf of an individual with a complaint against or concern regarding action taken by a law school that adversely affects that individual. [this sounds pretty crappy on the ABA's part]
Rule 24b of the ABA Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools governs the filing of complaints against law schools. For more information about this process, visit the Section's page on Complaints Alleging Non-Compliance with the Standards.

Who Attacked Rose Pak?

The piece then goes on to talk about Rose Pak, Ed Lee and whether or not conspiracies are afoot.
Uh, what the hell happened to Rose?!? Who dared to attack Pak? Was she Gillooley'd? Did this happen during some sort of caper? How is it even possible for Rose Pak to sustain an injury?

Family:Unionidae (freshwater mussels) in the phylum Mollusca
Shell is solid, thick, noticeably flattened and triangular with a prominent and sharply angled posterior ridge. Umbo is flattened on the sides, directed forward and slightly raised above hinge line. Epidermis is yellowish-brown with interrupted but distinct brown rays that appear as spots, bars, wavy patterns or V-shapes (chevrons). Inside shell beak cavity is shallow; pseudocardinal teeth large, grooved and triangular; lateral teeth serrate, short and straight; nacre (lining) white.
Similar species: Deertoe has a similar color pattern, but the shell is much more inflated and has a deeper beak cavity.
Size:Adult length: 3-5 inches.
Habitat and conservation:Large rivers with strong current in coarse gravel and sand.
Foods:Algae and fine particles of decaying organic matter; extracts nutrients and oxygen from water drawn into the body cavity through a specialized gill called the incurrent siphon; sediment and undigested waste are expelled through the excurrent siphon.
Distribution in Missouri:Most common in an east-west band of north-flowing tributaries of the Missouri River and in several Mississippi River tributaries.
Status:Moderately common.
Life cycle:Males release sperm directly into water. Females downstream siphon sperm into the gill chamber, where eggs are fertilized. Eggs mature into larvae (called glochidia), which discharge into the water and attach to host fish. The tiny mussel eventually breaks away and floats to the bottom of the stream, and the cycle repeats.
Human connections:Mussels are excellent biological indicators of water quality because they are long-lived and relatively immobile, accumulating contaminants in water that can be scientifically analyzed. Historically important in the button industry; also valuable in the cultured pearl and polished chip industries.
Ecosystem connections:Mussels act as nature's "vacuum cleaners," filtering and cleansing polluted waters. They are also an important food source for other species in the aquatic environment.

Movie director Wendy Schneider is hoping a little of Dave Grohl 's Sound City magic can rub off on her.
The director has launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter to help her complete a documentary about Smart Studios, the Madison, WI recording studio founded by producer Butch Vig and his partner in the band Garage Steve Marker .
The studio, which is now closed, was where Smashing Pumpkins ' Gish , Garbage 's Version 2.0 , Fall Out Boy 's Take This to Your Grave and material for Nirvana 's N evermind , among other albums, were recorded.
Schneider, who is trying to raise $125,000, has posted a trailer for the proposed flick featuring Grohl, Smashing Pumpkin's frontman
Billy Corgan
and Garbage singer
Shirley Manson
. "Butch was one of the first producers to come out of the underground that really wanted to turn your noisy garage band into something that the whole world would love," says Grohl in the trailer.
Grohl of course last year released his own, critically-acclaimed documentary about a defunct recording studio, Sound City.
Schneider hopes to have the movie ready by October 2015.

Desiree Kiplinger started an outdoor hiking event for kids because she loves the outdoors and believes children should learn at a young age to appreciate the wild.
She's teaching her daughter Kadence to love the outdoors now.
"Kadence absolutely loves the trails," said Kiplinger. "She's kicking and screaming when it's time to leave."
Desiree said these days kids are so tuned in to video games, they've forgotten how to play games outside like freeze tag or hide and seek. She said kids will learn through exploring on the trail at Monte Sano State park. Kids will learn about the different types of bugs, trees and plants. The hike usually ends with a coloring session at the Japanese Garden.
"It's so much more educational if you can get out there and do it hands on and actually get to touch and learn and feel things and see things and realize what does happen when you don't take care of things," said Desiree.
Desiree said she appreciates the outdoors now more than ever after visiting countries like China.
"They didn't conserve their natural resources and I didn't see any green. It was pretty much just desert and sand. It was sad. People don't really realize how great we have it here," she said.

It was fun the 2 or 3 first times, now it's just painful. Having to spend 10-15 min on this (usually, there is always a moron to do something stupid enough making everybody lose 10 more minutes, so that's more something like 30 min lost on this) is just a painful waste of time.
But well, that was fun at the very beginning, so let's say that it was done the right way.

Like most OK ideas we have at Cards Diaspora, they generally happen after the fact. Is that going to stop us from having the Top 5 2012 Song Dedications to the Cardinals 3 days into 2013? No. No it isn't. Bonus music insight on each song too! DEDICATION 1 - To Albert Pujols: "Brand New Me" by Alicia Keys It took a long summer and another playoff run, but Cardinal fans, for the most part, are over El Hombre. Mostly. There are still those times when you see the #3 spot roll around in the Cardinals order and kind of wish AP was coming up... but, no, really... it's all good now. Bonus Music Commentary: From the 5:06 point of this song, it's hard to not say that Alicia is the most talented woman on Earth. Very, very few people can command an entire arena with a piano and a voice. This song never hit as a single, but still one of the best songs of 2012.

text: First base may not be the "hot corner," but it's still hard to see that as a spot where "defensive shortcomings" won't matter ("defensive spectrum" aside). There's a reason offensive players like David Ortiz, who plays with some defensive shortcomings at first, are a hotter property in the AL where they can DH than they would be in the NL. And personally, some of the highlights of my baseball-watching career came watching Derek Lee do superhuman things over at first. Wonder why the Cubs didn't just move Starlin there?

October 16, 2001
Although I am not a Catholic, I find myself attracted to certain contemporary Catholic prophecies concerning the end times. In particular, the "Jacinta 1972" picture has captured my attention. It is reproduced here with the permission of Gary Wohlscheid, President, These Last Days Ministries.
This is a photograph taken on September 14, 1971. "Jacinta, the child-seer of Fatima, appeared to Veronica at a vigil, to confirm that she had written the message on the picture." Regardless of what you may think about this photograph, what really matters is the information in it and the significance attached to that information. According to the amazing Bayside Prophecies, Our Lady (Mary, the mother of Jesus) is quoted as having said:
"I ask that the photograph given from Heaven, 'Jacinta 1972', be propagated, made known worldwide; for within this photograph lies the date, the month, the hour, the year, of the coming Chastisement. Search it well, My children: for those who are given the grace will find the answer to the puzzle. 'Jacinta of Fatima — Jacinta 1972'." (10-6-79)
Authentic prophecy often has more than one meaning. The explicit meaning given in the prophetic message for "1972" was that "The date refers to the year of the takeover of Pope Paul VI's reign by Satan and his agents through faithless members of the Curia." But the year 1972 has another meaning for me.
The most recently known orbit of comet 76P/West-Kohoutek-Ikemura has a perihelion (nearest to the Sun) approximately tangent to Mars's orbit and an aphelion (farthest from the Sun) tangent to Jupiter's orbit. Quoting Gary W. Kronk from his web page at the above link:
The comet's elliptical nature was first established by B. G. Marsden on 1975 March 7, following the link of the February and March observations to that of October. Marsden commented, "It is also clear that the comet passed only 0.01 AU from Jupiter in March 1972." … Prior to the comet's entry into Jupiter's sphere of influence during the latter half of 1971, the comet moved in an elliptical orbit with a period of about 30 years and a perihelion distance of 4.78 AU.
An AU – Astronomical Unit – is the average radius of Earth's orbit; 0.01 AU is 1.5 million km, which is 20 times Jupiter's radius. The Moon's orbit radius is 60 times Earth's radius.
Dr. Marsden is Associate Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysics Observatories. When comet 76P passed only 0.01 AU in front of Jupiter in March 1972, it experienced a slingshot event as Jupiter's gravity slowed it down from 15.8 km/s to 9.2 km/s and changed its orbit in a radical way. (NASA used Jupiter's gravity to speed up Voyager by passing behind the planet.) Before its close encounter with Jupiter, the comet was nearly always outside Jupiter's orbit (5.20 AU). Afterward, the comet was nearly always inside Jupiter's orbit, ranging from 1.59 AU at perihelion to 5.33 AU at aphelion. That converted the comet into a Mars orbit crosser because Mars ranges from 1.38 AU to 1.67 AU.
On June 28, 2001 I suggested a theory that perhaps comet 76P had either collided with Phobos or passed near enough that both of their orbits were changed in radical ways such that comet "76Pcould reach Earth from a northerly orbit in 2002, and that Phobos could reach Earth from an orbit in the ecliptic plane (to fulfill the "sunspot" prophecy [of the Little Red Robin]) in 2003." The Little Red Robin's vision is found in the Little Pebble's public Message 599 dated June 11, 2000. My theory requires that comet 76P experienced another, but much milder, orbit-changing slingshot event from a close encounter with a Jovian Trojan asteroid in April 1997, because otherwise, comet 76P would have missed Mars by 0.042 AU (3.9 million km).
I agree with Mr. Kronk's assertion "There is no chance of a collision," if the comet's orbit is now what it was in 1994! But what if the comet's orbit was changed once again in 1997 as it was in 1972? A different orbit could indeed result in a collision with Phobos. This time, the agent could not have been Jupiter, which was more than 45º in orbital longitude ahead of the comet. But it could have been an asteroid. There is a cloud of asteroids, called the L-5 Trojans, that trail Jupiter in its orbit by anywhere from 45º to 75º in longitude. The asteroids actually orbit the L-5 Lagrange point, which follows Jupiter by exactly 60º.
But if the comet's orbit changed in 1997, wouldn't we know it? Evidently not. The last official observation of 76P was March 30, 1994. Comet 76P should have been observed in December 1999 when it was roughly 2.3 AU from the Earth and had an elongation of about 70º from the Sun. That is 0.3 AU closer than it was in March 1994 when it was last observed. Why was it not observed in December 1999? My suggestion is that maybe astronomers looked for it then but didn't find it because unknown to them, its orbit had changed again in April 1997.
There was a rumored sighting on the night of January 22/23, 2001 that I debunked. In the June 28, 2001 article previously cited, Marshall Masters reported the following:
In the spring of this year [2001], the Hubble Space Telescope team from NASA advised Dr. Brian Marsden, Associate Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysics Observatories, that they had sighted 76P on April 12. When Dr. Marsden requested verifiable data substantiating their sightings as well as additional sightings, NASA flatly refused.
The April 12, 2001 sighting of comet 76P by the Hubble Space Telescope team would fit my theory if they knew the comet's new orbit, and therefore knew where to look for it (towards the North). Their refusal to give its position to Dr. Marsden could have been because they did not want its new orbit to be made public if it will indeed impact the Earth in early June 2002.
If we assume that comet 76P is the first threatening space body in the cosmic scenario that may presently be unfolding (as has been prophesied), then the fact that it experienced an orbit change in 1972 is significant. In that case, everything that is about to happen began in 1972 when comet 76P entered the inner solar system.
Our Lady is quoted by the Bayside Prophecies as having said, "within this photograph lies the date, the month, the hour, the year, of the coming Chastisement." The idea just popped into my head when I was working on the "Astra" prophecy in May 2001 that I should add 365 months to January 1, 1972. I refined this idea slightly to add 365.25 months to January 1, 1972 because a Julian year contains 365.25 days. When you do this, you get June 10, 2002.
You can check this calculation yourself. Divide 365.25 months by 12 calendar months per year, and you get 30.4375 years. Let's add the integer part (30) and the fraction part (0.4375) separately. First, add 30 years to January 1, 1972, and you get January 1, 2002. Now we convert the fraction of a year into a number of days. Calculate 0.4375 years x 365.25 days/year = 160 days. That is 5 months and some number of days. The number of days in the first 5 months of the year 2002 are 31 + 28 +31 + 30 + 31 = 151 days. The remainder is then 160 – 151 = 9 days. So, we add 5 months to January 1, 2002 to get June 1, 2002. Then we add the remaining 9 days to get June 10, 2002. I notice that others have seen the word "June" in Picture A in the "Jacinta 1972" picture.
I used this calculation to compute the predicted impact date of comet "Astra" that I made in my message 587 (in my astro-revelation group) dated May 20, 2001 and entitled Possible comet impact in Iraq on June 10, 2002. It is also the date of a solar eclipse. According to the Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses: 1986 – 2035 (NASA Reference Publication 1178 Revised), by Fred Espenak, there will be two solar eclipses in 2002, and the first one will be an annular eclipse on June 10, 2002, with the greatest eclipse occurring in the North Pacific Ocean at 23:44:15.2 UT (page 178). On a 12-hour clock, this would be 11:44 PM UT.
The fact that there will be a solar eclipse on June 10, 2002 seems like a confirming fact to me because if God chose the impact time, it makes sense that He would choose a solar eclipse as a synchronizing signal because we know their times so accurately. This would be proof that the impact, if it happens, could not have been an accident. Further proof would be that a comet from the outer solar system could not have been steered towards Earth with three successive slingshot maneuvers (Jupiter, an asteroid, and Mars) by accident.
It is worth noting that while the Universal Time date for this eclipse will be June 10, 2002, the date in the Middle East (and Australia) at that time will be June 11, and the date of the Little Pebble's public Message 599 is June 11, 2000. Also, is it a co-incidence that American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center at 11:45 AM UT on September 11, 2001 (note the similarity to 11:44 PM UT for the eclipse)? I wonder.
You can see from the "Jacinta 1972" picture that people have found various numbers in this photograph by turning it sideways. The one that caught my attention is labeled "Picture C" on that web page, and it is reproduced here.
Others have seen "1318" in this photo. Revelation 13:18 is that famous verse: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three-score and six."
I also see "1138". This caught my attention because it matches the clue from George Lucas, namely "THX-1138". That was the title of his first feature motion picture, and it was also in the dialog of his first Star Wars movie (spoken by Han Solo from the prison guard room). If you consider 11:38 to be a Universal time of day in the evening (PM), and you convert it to 24-hour time, you get 23:38. This is 6.25333 minutes before the maximum eclipse on June 10, 2002. If the maximum eclipse time 11:44:15.2 PM UT is a synchronizing signal, why does 11:38 PM come 6 minutes earlier? One possible explanation might be that this comet could explode in space or in the stratosphere as the Tunguska comet did on June 30, 1908, and the maximum eclipse time might correspond to the terminus of the comet if it did not explode in space. Mathematically, we would allow the comet to pass through the Earth without touching anything to reach a terminus inside the Earth.
Actually, Robert Foot of the University of Melbourne Research Centre for High Energy Physics has written a paper entitled The mirror world interpretation of the 1908 Tunguska event and other more recent events. In his theory, comets may be part mirror matter, which can pass through the Earth, and part regular matter, which would be the part that explodes.
One can estimate that the minimum incoming velocity of the comet relative to the Earth is the escape velocity, which varies inversely as the square root of the radial distance from the center of the Earth. This function can be integrated over a distance range to obtain a time interval. If we assume we know the time interval, we can compute the minimum altitude of the explosion at 23:38 UT as a function of the terminating location of the comet at 23:44:15.2 UT if it did not explode.
Terminal location at max.
Terminal radius from
Minimum explosion
Surface of Earth
Bottom of lower mantle
Surface of core
If the comet should explode in space at an altitude of 85.8 km above the ground and the apex angle of the cone of destruction should be 120º, then the radius of destruction on the ground would be 149 km. If ground zero should be centered on Hit, Iraq, as I estimated in my article Possible comet impact in Iraq on June 10, 2002, then Baghdad would be on the edge of that destruction circle since it is 145 km away from Hit. Since 85.8 km would be the minimum altitude, then 149 km would be the minimum radius of destruction.
Now that I have alluded to Hit, Iraq as possibly being the target, I can say that George Lucas's clue "THX-1138" means, in my opinion, Time Hit eXplodes = 11:38 PM UT, and you can understand what I mean.
There is one other co-incidence that attracts me to "1138" as being a clue for the time of the explosion. Universal Time is basically atomic clock time, which is independent of the motion of the Earth, but it is adjusted occasionally by adding a leap second to keep it in step with Earth's rotation, which is very gradually slowing down. There is another way to measure time that is now called Terrestrial Time (previously known as Ephemeris Time) that is a continuous time scale with no leap-second discontinuities. The National Bureau of Standards used Ephemeris Time (ET then, TT now) until 1960 when Universal Time (UT) was invented to make use of the stability of atomic clocks. The difference between Universal Time and Terrestrial Time is called DT, and it is about one minute at the present time. That is to say that 11:38 UT = 11:39 TT. The point of all of this is that my boyhood street address house number from 1941 to 1960 when I moved out of my parent's home after graduating from college was 1139. So, is that a co-incidence? You decide.
I recommend that you exercise your own power of discernment regarding this prediction of mine. You should know that over the last three years I have made 30 predictions that failed to come true.

This has been a dynamic opportunity to learn how integration should happen when it comes to a public relations firm in Victoria, BC and I am honored to have been part of the process. The occasional black tie event didn't hurt either.
That said, the time has now come for me to pass the Tartan Torch. Introducing Eric Jourdan! Eric has made a great impression on us so far. His first day was 'month-end' (accountant speak for time spent in purgatory) and yet he is still here. Eric is a CGA Student, looking to put in his professional hours as a Tart himself. Ultimately Eric's role will be to make sure the books are balanced. However, coffee runs when "James the Intern" is not available are not completely off the task sheet!
As for myself, my son and I have traded in our crab traps for cowboy hats. We are heading to Calgary. So drop us a line if ever in the neighborhood!
Oh and I told Eric you would all promise to go easy on him; he is new after all.

Campus Conservation Contest Shows Results
June 27, 2013
The National Wildlife Foundation, along with the Alliance to Save Energy, the Lucid Foundation, and the U.S. Green Building Council, challenged campuses to reduce energy consumption and conserve water in its annual Campus Conservation Nationals. In the contest's third year, over 300,000 students at 120 colleges and universities competed between February and April. Altering campus culture and behavior is critical to advancing sustainability on campus. Through individual actions there can be cumulative — and substantive — results.
Participating colleges across the country accomplished a significant reduction in electrical consumption and water savings in their residence halls, classrooms, and office buildings during three-week competitions that took place from February through April. Institutions set up their own contests between buildings on campus or in head-to-head competitions with another school. An overview of the results are summarized below.
Electrical Savings
- Electrical consumption was reduced by more than 2 million kWh, equivalent to taking 187 U.S. homes off the grid for a year. This also saved over 2.4 million pounds of CO2 from release into the atmosphere.
- The top campuses had savings in electrical usage of between 6-19 percent during the three-month time period. They were located in different regions of the nation: Oregon State University, Northwest Missouri State University, St. John's University, Minnesota, Harvey Mudd College, and the University of North Carolina.
Water Savings
- Over 1.68 million gallons of water was saved, enough to fill 10 million plastic water bottles.
- Campuses with the greatest average percent reduction in water use, saving 4-10 percent, were Northwestern University, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Wake Forest University, Oberlin College Conservatory, and Indiana University.
The results from the competition, as well as a compilation of top video contest submissions from participating campuses, can be found on the Compete to Reduce web site. The videos are enticing and thought-provoking and highlight the minimal efforts needed to alter student and staff behavior to create a conservational attitude on a campus. Plans for the fourth annual competition will be announced in early 2014.

Zhong Yao[2] (151–230)[1][3] courtesy name Yuanchang, was a calligrapher and politician who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He served in the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. Born in modern Xuchang, Henan, he was at one time the Grand Administrator of Chang'an.
Following Cao Pi's death and Cao Rui taking the throne, Zhong Yao was appointed as a Grand Tutor of Wei in 226. As a student of Cai Yong, a famous calligrapher, he also contributed to the development of standard script (kaishu), and is known as the "father of standard script". His famous works include the Xuanshi Biao (Chinese: 宣示表; pinyin: Xuānshì Biǎo), Jianjizhi Biao (simplified Chinese: 荐季直表; traditional Chinese: 薦季直表; pinyin: Jiànjìzhí Biǎo), and Liming Biao (Chinese: 力命表; pinyin: Lìmìng Biǎo), which survive through handwritten copies, including by Wang Xizhi. Qiu Xigui (2000, p. 143) describes the script in Zhong's Xuanshi Biao as:
- "…clearly emerging from the womb of early period semi-cursive script. If one were to write the tidily written variety of early period semi-cursive script in a more dignified fashion and were to use consistently the pause technique (dùn 頓, used to reinforce the beginning or ending of a stroke) when ending horizontal strokes, a practice which already appears in early period semi-cursive script, and further were to make use of right-falling strokes with thick feet, the result would be a style of calligraphy like that in the "Xuanshi Biao"".

--U.S. Justice Department alleges ATP Oil & Gas illegally allowed oil, chemical discharges from platform in the Gulf of Mexico
--Justice alleges ATP masked discharged oil with a chemical "dispersant" added to the wastewater through a concealed tube
--Government is seeking civil penalties under the Clean Water Act
(Adds details on Justice Department's suit against ATP throughout.)
By Alison Sider
The U.S. Department of Justice brought a suit against an oil producer in the Gulf of Mexico, alleging the company illegally allowed discharges of oil and chemicals from a floating oil-and-gas-production platform.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement discovered violations during an inspection of the ATP Oil & Gas Corp. (ATPAQ) platform, located in the Mississippi Canyon block of the Gulf, last March and referred the matter to the Justice Department.
According to the Justice Department's complaint, filed Monday in the District Court for Louisiana's Eastern District, ATP discharged more oil than it was allowed to into the ocean, and masked this with a chemical "dispersant" added to the wastewater through a concealed metal tube. The dispersant acted to break apart oil molecules into smaller, dispersed droplets. On board the platform, it was referred to as the "soap" or the "sheen-buster," according to the government's complaint.
Though the complaint states that the dispersant had been used from at least October 2010 to March 2012, the tube was connected in such a way that the additional chemical was added after the point where compliance testing samples were taken, so the additive wasn't detected.
The government is seeking civil penalties under the Clean Water Act and injunctive relief for violations of the Clean Water Act and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
ATP Oil & Gas is engaged in the development and production of oil and natural gas in the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea, according to its website. A spokesman didn't immediately respond to request for comment. The company filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in August, according to the website.
ATP owned the platform from at least 2006 to March 6, 2009, according to the complaint. ATP Infrastructure Partners LP, which is also named in the suit, is a limited partnership company formed in March 2009 by ATP Oil & Gas and GE Energy Financial Services to own and operate the platform.
The Justice Department is asking for ATP Oil & Gas to pay up to $32,500 per day for each violation through Jan. 12, 2009, and up to $37,500 per day for each violation after that date. The department also is seeking to assess penalties of up to $37,500 per day against ATP Infrastructure Partners for each violation on and after March 6, 2009.

Two Jackson men are behind bars, in connection with a string of church burglaries across the metro. Byram police say 19-year-old Amos Simons, and 20-year-old Kewane Latiker are facing multiple counts of commercial burglary charges.
Byram police say the two are responsible for two church burglaries there, and several in Hinds County and the city of Jackson. Investigators say the two have admitted to taking electronics and musical equipment from the churches, most of which has been recovered by police.
The crimes started in early January. Simons and Latiker both are from West Jackson. Investigators would not reveal what churches were victimized. The items are in possession of the Hinds County Sheriff's Department.
Commander Ford Hayman of the Byram Police Department said, "Just the other day a Hinds County deputy doing a very good job routine patrol stopped the vehicle with two occupants. These gentlemen were believed to be possibly responsible for some of the church burglaries due to some of the items in their vehicle at the time of the stop. "
The stolen items will be returned to the churches later this week. Simons and Latiker could make their initial appearance in court as early as tomorrow. Byram police say this is an ongoing investigation.

July Is Escapes Month
Happy July! Yes, we know that it's almost halfway through the month already, but due to our own personal getaways, we're just now really gearing up for our Escapes month here at The Kitchn. But there is a lot coming this month: bringing home inspiration for the kitchen from travels and adventures, and some guides to markets and great food in some favorite getaway cities.
So, as we gear up to bring you inspiration from our own summer Escapes, and some good advice for your own travels, we're curious: where are you escaping to this summer? Will you stay home and create an escape there? Or are you going someplace exotic this summer?

who makes the tablecloth? it is the perfect wine color!
It's not until September, but we're renting a cottage near Manzanita, OR for a week:
I am so excited; there's a nice little gas stove, so we're going shopping for food when we get there--I'm sooo looking forward to absolutely fresh seafood and some ocean time.

My 2002 Subaru Forester won't start!!!
I left the accessory ignition switch on and completely drained my battery (only clicked when I tried to start it) ... I popped the hood and hooked it up to a charger (200 Amps for an immediate boost, which has always started a car with a dead battery before) ... the horn went off (non-stop, not intermittent) ... I played with the key fob to turn the alarm off and stop the horn with no luck ... I called Subaru and was told to cycle through the key settings 3 times to disengage the security system, which stopped the horn ... the car still won't start, however (no clicking now) ... nothing works except the door chime when the door is open ... I called Subaru back and they said it might be a blown fuse ... I checked all the fuses and they seem to be OK.
Since there is no clicking when I turn the ignition key now (after charging the batter for several minutes), I'm convinced that this has something to do with my security system not allowing the ignition to engage. Does anyone know what I should do at this point? I'm staring at having my car towed to a mechanic at this point, when everything worked fine with my car prior to letting the battery run down.

Brazil's embarrassing World Cup exit provokes unexpected sympathy
Should old acquaintance be forgot? It was never going to be, but I hardly expected to be thinking of my friends from Copacabana so soon after landing back in England, and I certainly didn't expect to be feeling so sorry for them.
The return home came just hours before the first semifinal and, like hundreds of millions of others across the planet, I watched incredulous as the team of the host nation, the greatest of all soccer nations, concede goals to Germany with a rapidity that would have been surprising in the NBA; let alone a sporting arena that had yielded just 1.25 goals per entire game in the previous round, as things became about as tight and tense as international soccer can get.
After the magnificent Germans had eased off and started saving their energy for Sunday's final, they stopped at seven, to which Brazil replied with a gesture that produced one in the closing seconds. I was watching in a riverside pub on the south-western fringes of London, slack-jawed like everyone around me, trying to think of precedents but being able to think only of the folks with whom I'd seen all the previous Brazil games.

Michael Phelps could very well become the greatest Olympian of all time but he says when he retires from swimming after the London Games, he plans to conquer a new sport: Horse racing.
Phelps tells Yahoo that he's quite serious about buying a race horse with his longtime coach Bob Bowman. He tells the news organization that the two have discussed it repeatedly.
In fact, he has his eye on Preakness 2014 -- if not the Triple Crown.
"I think it would be cool," Phelps told Yahoo, adding that he hopes to hit all of next year's Triple Crown races as an observer, if not a shopper.
Yahoo also pointed out that before Preakness this year, Phelps felt out thoroughbred trainer Bob Baffert about conditioning a horse for him and Bowman. Bowman, by the way, refers to himself as a "horseman" on his Twitter account.
One question remains: What would Phelps name the horse?
I'll Have Another Gold Medal? Man of the Pool? Swimbiscuit?

After Olympics, Michael Phelps might race horses

this is a non-year for Audi/Ducati... First objective was to get Rossi to stay...gone, next objective was to bin Preziozi (?) done. Now back to the drawing board and don't throw good money after bad...Dovi was needed to keep the punters happy and probably give some input to whatever they develop..remember ,he has ridden both of the opposition offerings...he knows how good they need to get. See my post below, if Dorna don't get a grip of costs soon, the game's a bogey. CRT is just an expensive sideshow, and I'm surprised that Aspar hasn't blown the whistle by now. Only the Suzuki gig will keep him on-side...and they'll have to hit the ground running to have any chance.
Only weak link is, the design of the bike and, if it was fixed tomorrow, they haven't employed a rider up to winning a MotoGP, never mind a title, so they're history. Run them as CRT's and they'd all look good, it's the end of the line for the Dukes.

What to Do With All Those Pennies
Published on - September 22nd, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
Over at AskMetafilter, a user wants to know what to do with all his pennies.
I have a lot of pennies. They accumulated over the past twelve years. I need a permanent solution to this problem other than a big jar. What do you do with your pennies?
My favorite answer so far — because it's handy and prevents you from accumulating new pennies — is this:
Carry around four pennies with you at all times; whenever you make a cash purchase, you can always give the cashier a couple of extra pennies instead of getting a couple of extra pennies back. Once you get into the habit, it's not so hard; I successfully got rid of two years' worth of pennies this way over the course of about nine months.
Andy Rooney hates the penny, too.
[AskMetafilter: Going Penny-Crazy]
This article is about Funny Money, Hints and Tips
I just roll my pennies and take them to the bank. I know it's not much, but I don't hate pennies. I don't have a lot of change anyway because I use loonies and quarters for laundry, and twoonies for the bus. Plus I use debit a lot. Yeah, I'm in Canada
I read somewhere (thought it was here, but maybe not) about Coinstar machines that take a cut of your change if you convert it into cash, but don't if you convert it into a gift card. They're in a lot of supermarkets. I got my boyfriend to do that for an Amazon card and bought it off him. Voila—his office, car, and dresser have been cleared of years of coins ($86), and I got a textbook for the evening class I'm taking, with a little left over for next semester.
I have a Little Sister (as in Big Brothers Big Sisters) and we save up all our pennies (and other small change) for outings or projects to do together. I just started teaching her how to sew and so one of the things we save up for is fabric and notions. I admit I'm too lazy to roll them; I take them over to the Coinstar at the supermarket–usually at the same time as I take my bottles and cans in–and then we save the redemption slips in a jar instead.
A few years ago, I wrote alengthy essay about this subject. My conclusion was that it wasn't worth your time to do anything with change smaller than nickels.
But times have changed since I wrote that, and I see more local bank branches with free, automated change counting machines lately.
With increases in commodities price, specially copper and nickel, a penny costs quita a bit more than one cent in materials alone. You could melt them and resell the metal (zinc, thinly plated with copper), but of course that is illegal. In the UK, that is happening so often the mint is switching to copper-plated steel instead.
I don't normally post links to my own site in other people's comments sections, but since someone asked about using coinstar for free:
Check with local banks that have change-counting machines to see if you can use them without being a depositor. If not, and you know someone who does have an account with that bank, have them bring them in. There should be no charge for that person to get them totaled. My bank actually allows me to bring the receipt from the counting machine over and deposit it directly into my account. Very handy if I don't need the bills.
For me, nothing I do at the bank is more fun than dumping my change into that counting machine. It's like playing a slot machine you know is going to pay you off. I used to bring my change in every week and put the paper I got back into my emergency fund. Later, after I made a conscious effort not to buy lunch near work as often, I dropped the non-quarter change (much less of it as a result of that frugal change) into a glass milk bottle. (The quarters I save in a ceramic "WE ARE HAPPY TO SERVE YOU" coffee cup for laundry and poker night.) When that milk bottle fills, it's darn tough to heft!
There are also many charitable organizations that collect pennies as a fundraiser (although I can't think of any specific ones at the moment).
Growing up my parents had a fairly large plastic piggy bank. I remember it had a sticker on the bottom that said "hold $600 in quarters". We'd let it fill up with my parents change, and then we'd use it for something fun.
The pig would usually end up with about $400 in it. We ended up taking trips with that money, buying a 10 man tent (parents + 8 kids), and other great stuff. Our parents always let us kids vote — though they had veto power in case we tried to get something lame.
Maybe it was because we lived in a small town, or maybe my dad just knew the guys at the bank, but they never charged us to get the money counted and deposited.
Now that I'm married, my wife and I put our change in our own piggy bank, and use it for fun dates and holiday presents. I think it's pretty lame that most banks charge so much to use their counting machines. No small town love I guess.
My daughter's school and our local New York Public Library branch participate in Penny Harvest (http://www.commoncents.org/0tools/pennyharvest.html). During the year I collect all my pennies, and in the fall I give them to Penny Harvest.
You can get rid of 'em 780 at a time by taking them to the post office and using them in the stamp machine. Then use the stamps to mail stuff. Its like getting free stamps and cleaning your house at the same time.
Have you done this? wouldn't 780 pennies choke the machine?
It's how I buy stamps. It does take awhile to get them all in one by one though. I find that unless I'm the only one in there, its better to see if people want to go before you before stepping up and taking 5-10 minutes to put them all in. Also, if you put them in too quickly, for some reason it doesn't accept some of them. But just get them out of the coin return and try again. I think the hopper is pretty big so I don't think you have to worry about crashing the machine or anything like that.
Pennies. Virtually all vending machines do not accept them. Excepting the post office as it appears! Being of middle income, I consider them a waste of time. However, I load up a few in my pocket and try to spend them during the day's transactions. Sometimes I dump off a dozen in the "take a penny" bins in convenience stores. I've even rolled them down the halls at work for amusement. Until a memo went out from the maintenance dept asking people to "be mindful of dropped coins as they are damaging our vacuums".

Top Five Boys (not in order):
Alec - Though it sounds like it should be a nickname, for Alexander, Alaric, etc.
Cassius - Only the CASS-ee-us pronunciation. The Julius Caesar character wasn't a role model, though.
James - Am I nerdy in first associating the name with Harry Potter's dad? Probably. In any case, it's a solid, classic name that's been underused as of late.
Lachlan - One of the cooler, underused surname-y names.
Nicholas - Solid, simple. I actually like nn Nick.
Top Five Girls (not in order)
Calla - Pretty, elegant, and not too frilly. The less-used sister to Lily. I'd also suggest Cassia for you, as it's similar to Calla and Cassia and is floral.
Delilah - Pretty. Beware the religious connotations.
Elizabeth - Classic and lovely.
Olive - Cute, and will last to adulthood.
Poppy - One of my favorite florals. So fresh and happy.Amedeo Enjolras Aristotle Leonardo Archer Olivier Mischa Liam Caspian Benedict Theodore FitzwilliamRosalie Evangeline Mirabelle Ophelia Alice Elisabeth Stella Titania Artemis Cicely Margarethe Thalia Astrid

The formal nights were a big letdown, most of people dressed up for the occasion I.e. dinner suit and evening dress, however some people turned up in shorts and tee shirts we felt was inappropriate for the evening.

3 Small Biotechs Top Hedge Funds Are Investing In
By Shas Dey - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: ACOR, ALNY, IDIX
Small biotech companies have great investment potential if you can identify them properly. A small biotech with a differentiated treatment approach and strong commercialization plans can become a rainmaker.

No money is no excuse...
Just watch out for the penis-biting fish!
'I've never gone for more than six weeks without surfing since I was 12 years old...'
You know you're a surfer when eating sh*t doesn't literally mean eating sh*t....
Ever wanted to sleep in a bubble, a cocoon or suspended from a tree?
Some beaches have so many sharks that their government has banned surfing!
These are the surf comps you wish you'd seen...
Ed Leigh, swearing and giant balls... The men on the mic say the craziest things
"In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Surf..."
Meet Fergus. He surfs, he skates, he doesn't answer to nobody... But how long can he keep the #vanlife dream rolling?
