Don't care.
This just in from a new sports reporting Giant LMZZ, Geno was involved in a minor altercation with a cab driver early this morning. It has been purported that no punches were exchanged but some very hurtful words were launched, lol
It seems trivial and it is, but you want your young QB starting out on the right track. Even the smallest incidents with a young player can get much larger if it is not nipped in the bud. I think the Jets will be on top of this. Today its raising your voice on a plane, tomorrow it could be the target parking lot, lol
Jet fans falling for the media bait so easy.
Nonstory..wake me when geno rapes somebody like Big Ben or beats dogs to death like Vick.
I like Geno but he has to represent the team with the highest standards even off the field. Even if he is in the right and was wronged, he should have not escalated the situation into a verbal brawl that made headlines. He calmly should have complied and then took action with the authorities or their supervisors in calm manner afterwards. That his how a professional QB should act, I am sure Idzik will remind him.
You can bet that the Jets PR will make the flight attendants look like the big bad wolf, but behind closed doors Geno will be standing tall before the man! Idzik in no way wants the circus coming back to town.
Between Favre, Sanchez, and Smith the Jets are on a roll. We've got weiner pictures, GQ spreads, Fu Man Chu's, buttfumbles, public nudity for all to view on youtube, banishment from airports etc.........
These guys sure know how to thank Woody Johnson for paying them the big bucks,,,
Looks like Geno is the @ss I thought he was.
@jake100 do you get paid for each post?
Geno's head is in the clouds! Too much money and no real QB talent. The Jets will never be winners with dumb Geno. imagine him stacking up to a Peyton or Brady! Funny. He says he couldn't here the steward because of the ear phones. A normal person would have removed them immediately when being addressed, especially on an aircraft!
Lol - true
Wake me when the Jets have a QB who is rated in the top 20 in the NFL.....and I don't mean in turnovers where Geno and Sanchez are # 1
@jake100 Pretty much all reports past the first one have said that that's exactly what he did. He got off the plane voluntarily and then spoke to the airline supervisor and the police before leaving the airport.
@bradysucks Just imagine if we add Jonny Football to the mix....
@Pat d As a person who went to WVU for two of the years he was there and I have friends that interacted with him on a regular basis, that is far from the truth. He is a very nice man. Everyone has there moments, but on the whole he is a respectful and well grounded human being.
@Pat d
Well it looks pretty bad when your QB of the future isn't smart enough to stay out of trouble at an airport of all places!!
I still wouldn't say Geno is a bad guy though, Young people do dumb things. It happens. It's not like he assaulted anybody or stole anything.
Still it is true that being MEANO SMITH is probably not the best idea. I don't think it fits too well with Woody Johnson's corporate image of paradise in Jetsville
@spindoctor@jake100 that would explain a lot.
@bradysucks Geno isn't #1 in turnovers. Have you already turned on him too?
I have a feeling you'll be woken up by the end of next year.
I will happily add Johnny Football....We should be so lucky. He would turn the franchise around (and if he did I'd happily take the partying that comes with him)
@Malty by nature@Pat d BTW, excellent username.
I agree 100%
Anyone that gives a flight attendant, a waiter or any other person just trying to make a living a hard time is a jerk. From what I see Geno is just another athlete that thinks they are untitled to do what ever they want. To be honest that is the impression I got the day he walked out onto the stage when the Jets drafted him.
Geno is a turnover machine.....and saying this fact doesn't mean I've turned on him but it does mean he needs to improve in this area! Turnovers lose games and a QB who is prone to turnover the football is a big problem, especially when that QB is not throwing a lot of TD's
If he loses his poise with a flight attendant and makes bad decisions on board a flight it brings into question decision making on the field.
@bradysucks Have you ever had a flight attendant rip your ear buds from your ears and throw them on the floor?
Well if he was kicked off you think they would have filed a report..but they did not.
lol but true.
Reefer - have you ever booked a flight, gone to the airport, waited to be seated, boarded the plane, and then said to yourself "I think I'll just get off this flight and leave of my own accord?" Seems a bit odd.
While Geno was at it he just decided he will have a chat with airport security because it sounds like a nice way to spend the day (lol)...
None of us know the facts....but we all know this is a strange situaton. Going to the airport is an ordeal. You don't just leave flights once you've boarded them...of your own accord
To bad most reports say He left the and on his own accord not kicked off.
@levi @bradysucks
I agree with everything you just said.....
and some flight attendants are just rude and on power trips.....I get it....
However, ususually when you get kicked off an airplane they give you a warning first....
Geno had a rocky rookie year....He should be on his best behavior. This isn't going to help him solidify the job going into next season. We're talking about a guy in Geno who was a turnover machine as a rookie,,,,,,and now he is being booted off of commercial airplanes......
Woody Johnson just got done with Favre, Sanchez, and Tebow......Woody can't be happy about his new QB being in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.....The NFL is a BUSINESS and this is bad for business.....and don't think Woody Johnson doesn't know this
@bradysucks Ive been saying for weeks we should draft another QB. Although Geno did improve down the stretch we dont know how good he will be. Im as sick of poor QB play as you are and just want a good one. But I also dont think him arguing with a flight attendant should come into play. For all I know she could of been a royal bltch. I think we've all run across a few of those.
@levi @bradysucks
There are NO sure things when drafting a QB. The only sure thing is that if you don't draft one you will never hit on a franchise QB. You have to take your swings and if you miss then you miss....
If it was so easy then Brady wouldn't have been a 6th round pick and Aaron Rodgers wouldn't have fallen to the bottom of round 1. Brees fell to round 2. Russell Wilson was drafted in round 3.
The only sure thing QB I remember being drafted was Peyton Manning. Just about every other guy drafted at QB since Manning has had questions about whether or not he was NFL ready.
Manziel will never make it where the Jets pick anyway. Somebody will draft him early and take the risk of hitting on a guy who can change their franchise into a winner for a decade
@bradysucks Hes exciting to watch Im just not confident in his future with the NFL.
BTW I judge QBs by their play on the field not from naked youtube videos. So an upgrade for me has to outperform on the field.
I don't fall in love with QB's.....but I would gladly take a shot at upgrading the QB position with Johnny Football. He has great mobility, a decent arm, and he has yet to get kicked off any airplanes, buttfumble, or post a nude video on youtube, Sounds like an upgrade to me.
@bradysucks And when he stinks it up I expect a complete 180 from you.
If you read what I wrote I defended Geno....I said one incident doesn't make him a bad guy. I know he had a bad day, However, he is a professional QB in the NFL and he just went through a rookie orientation sponsored by the NFL where these guys are warned about these types of things happening. He should know better if he wants to lead the Jets......Part of being the Jets QB in NY is you are always representing the NY Jets
This is Not rocket science
The guy had a bad day. Get off his jock. The only reason Brady doesn't get thrown off of planes for throwing a tantrum is he owns the thing.
@Pat d Did I miss a part of the story? What's the Flight crew and pilot's side? I'm not aware that they gave an account. And even so, it's the people close to the flight crew or pilot (the airline) also have people whose job it is to put a positive spin on this? Is the airports PR people somehow more likely to be telling the truth than Geno's PR people? Or are you, like a lot of Jets fans, just looking for an excuse to demonize anyone that's on the team, because you'd rather complain than be successful?
Surely that is illegal Bob. Throw a flag somebody
I've flown hundreds of times in my life and never had a flight attendant rip;earphones off of me. I've never even had an argument with a flight crew member. I have found them to routinely be some of the nicest and most helpful people I have encountered.
I know just the guy who can talk to Geno's inner man..
@Pat d I think your perception of Geno as a person is completely biased by your perception of his as a QB. If he had a rookie year like Russell Wilson I suspect your opinion of the "incident" would be very different.
Like I said you can beleive what side you want. The people close to Geno whose job is to put a positive spin on this or the flight crew and pilot.
@Pat d He might be a tool I honestly dont know. I also dont really care I just want him to be a good QB. Im pretty sure Brady is a jerk but Pats fans dont seem to mind because hes good.
@Pat d So his "crime" is not removing his headset while the cabin door was still open and his punishment was having them snatched away (possible right off his head) and thrown on the ground? I think Geno has the stronger case. How would you have reacted?
Rewatch the video. I haven't made my mind up on Geno but my first impression was this guy is a jerk. And as far as conflicting reports who you beleive is up to you, the flight crew and pilot or sources close to Geno. Sounds like both sides are doing their job.
@Pat d C'mon dude, Im not even a big Geno fan and I think thats ridiculous. So you made up your mind and passed judgement on him when he walked up to the podium? Please tell me more about your insight.
@Pat d Wow, you can see that deeply into a person's character from a couple of contradictory articles (one from TMZ, no less) and a few seconds of videotape of what was probably the happiest moment of Geno's life? That's quite a talent. You should become a police profiler, or maybe a district attorney.

i loveeeee kate's dress.
I think Lady Di looked gorgeousss in her wedding dress and I LOVE Kates dress but if Lady Di wore something like that (Kate's dress) she would have looked so perfectly amazing! However, I kinda doubt Kate could pull off Lady Diana's wedding dress.
i miss princess diana so so much!
alwayz diana...simple n elegan
Kate is very regal, but don't forget the 80's were known for horrific fashion choices and over the top gowns. Princess Diana was no exception to the rule and her wedding dress reflects the fashion of the period. She's not flamboyant, she's just 80's chic :)
No comparison. Kate shows Regal Elagance while Diana went for over the top flamboyant.

Do Non-Profit Operators Provide Higher Quality of Care? Evidence from Micro-Level Data for Japan's Long-term Care Industry
AbstractAlong with the introduction of the long-term care insurance scheme, the Japanese government in 2000 for the first time allowed for-profit operators to compete head-on with non-profit operators in the provision of at-home care services. This study examines quality differentials between the nonprofit and the for-profit sector in Japan's elderly care industry, concentrating on home helpers and staff nurses. Taking advantage of a unique and rich micro-level survey, the study finds that although nonprofit operators provide higher quality of care, as measured by simple averages of workers' characteristics, the advantage of nonprofits disappears once their higher wage is corrected for. This finding confirms that the seemingly higher quality of care provided by nonprofit operators is due to the nonprofit wage premium, resulting from their preferential status which provides non-distributional constraints and favorable tax treatment.

Accessible Wilderness Camping Made Possible – Scout's Honor!Submitted by Anonymous on December 27, 2007 - 10:48am.

When the location of travel is located "off the beaten path" access becomes challenging for people with disabilities. This is the task that Andrew Trontis chose to undertake: to build a barrier-free wilderness campsite developed in the rugged backwoods area of the Teertertown Nature Preserve, a Hunterdon County Park, in Lebanon Township, NJ.
Wire Mesh Railing Treatment Increases Visibility at Fanning Springs State ParkSubmitted by Anonymous on December 10, 2007 - 10:49pm.
Designers planning boardwalks and viewing platforms are often challenged with creating accessible spaces and balancing the need for safety. Planners for the Florida State Parks decided to meet the challenge head on in Fanning Springs State Park. Planners used a wire mesh railing treatment to increase visibility while maintaining safety for park visitors.
Fanning Springs State Park is located on Florida's west coast on the famous Suwannee River, halfway between Tallahassee and Tampa. The park offers nature trails, swimming, boating and other various outdoor activities. Fanning Spring is one of Florida's 27 first magnitude springs. The wire mesh railing is installed on an 8 ½' x 11' boardwalk that extends from a swimming area to a gazebo overlooking the river.
New Lift on Trolley Gives Visitors Opportunity to See Parks and GardensSubmitted by Anonymous on December 10, 2007 - 10:45pm.
Throughout the summer, trolley riders can take an interpretive tour as it meanders through the Sinnissippi Gardens and along the Rock River in Rockford, Illinois. The Rockford Park District, which operates Trolley Car 36 and the tour through the gardens, has been exploring options and has come up with a solution for making the trolley accessible.
The trolley excursion was first identified with an architectural barrier in the District's transition plan back in 1992. Many discussions amongst staff over the years have centered on creative solutions for making the trolley accessible. At one point, discussion focused on adding boarding ramps at the trolley station and at stops along the railway. However, railroad regulations restricted the placement of such boarding ramps in too close a proximity to the railroad tracks. So discussion turned to modifying the historic trolley itself.

If there is one thing that i've learned, both as a form of courtesy and as a tool to understand behavior, it's that no one wants to have their time wasted. That seems like it's become a major mantra with wow groups since I returned to the game right after Cata launched.
Don't have the Chievo? Sorry man
Don't know the fight? Maybe next time (and in this day and age of strat guides and youtube, there is no excuse for not knowing at least the basic mechanics)
I can understand how this line of logic can upset folks. Well, if I can't pug the encounter, then how the heck am I supposed to get the stinking achievement in the first place since by looking for a pug to do it kind of explains in and of itself that I'm not in a raiding guild (or at least not on the raid team). But this is where the LFR comes in.
Now, the DPS thing is something separate. You have to accept the fact that there are going to be some elitist jerks (not the website) who are going to ask to vote kick anyone not pulling more than 15k in LFR. Honestly though, if you're legitimately meeting the gear requirements for LFR in the first place, 15k shouldn't be an issue as far as DPS if you know how to play your class and have yourself at least halfway correctly gemmed and enchanted.

Bank of America (BAC): What to Expect
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) is due to report before the bell Wednesday. Here's what analysts are expecting.
Over the three months to March, analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters anticipate net income of 5 cents a share and $22.33 billion in revenue.
A year earlier, the bank recorded net income of 10 cents a share and $23.49 billion in revenue.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth StocksSTOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates BANK OF AMERICA CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate BANK OF AMERICA CORP (BAC) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, expanding profit margins and good cash flow from operations. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 12.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- BANK OF AMERICA CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, BANK OF AMERICA CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.91 versus $0.25 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.09 versus $0.91).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 369.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $732.00 million to $3,439.00 million.
- The gross profit margin for BANK OF AMERICA CORP is currently very high, coming in at 86.64%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 14.08% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 146.29% to $11,994.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow of 146.29%, BANK OF AMERICA CORP is still growing at a significantly lower rate than the industry average of 385.82%.

Myself and colleagues at Heriot-Watt University have just finished a research project on neurodiversity and the workplace, with the focus on people who work in the transport and travel industry.

Neurodiversity, for the purpose of this research, relates to conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD and Asperger syndrome.

The research was commissioned by the TSSA trade union.

The report looks at three things in particular:

1) Knowledge of neurodiverse conditions.

2) Attitudes towards the term "neurodiversity".

3) Perceived level of support and perceived level of support for employees with a neurodiverse condition.

It's been a while since I last posted on here.

An article in The Guardian grabbed me today: MP demands apology after abusive tweets are traced to Wonga employee (Mike Deri Smith and Mark King).

Some details:

The MP and anti-payday loans campaigner Stella Creasy has demanded an apology from the online lender Wonga after a Guardian investigation uncovered evidence that an employee of the firm has been using an anonymous Twitter account to publicly attack her, calling her mentally unstable.

Wonga's slogan and adverts promise "straight talking money", but company computers appear to have been used to post anonymous comments on blogs critical of its practices and there is evidence that a second Wonga employee has deleted criticism from its Wikipedia page...

According to an article published last week on the BBC News website, soldiers who post photographs to Facebook may be putting themselves and their families, as well as their colleagues, at risk.

The problem concerns "geotagged" photgraphs in that military personnel may inadvertently reveal the exact location of their unit or their family.

Work-related blogs appear to have been caught up in the recent public enquiry on the newspaper industry, i.e. the illegal hacking into telephones and email accounts by journalists in the UK.

In this instance it is the owner of the NightJack blog - an anonymous work-related blog looking at police work that created a lot of media attention not that long ago.

Two stories on this matter appeared in The Guardian last week:

Hopefully what is typical is not to be defined by this article recently in the Guardian:

A Twitter user is being sued for £217,000 by his former employer for taking his online followers with him when he switched jobs.

Noah Kravitz, a writer from Oakland, California, amassed 17,000 followers on the social networking site when he worked for PhoneDog, a website providing news and reviews about mobile phones.

He posted Twitter messages under the name @Phonedog_Noah, but in October 2010 he left the company, renamed his account @noahkravitz and took his following with him.

PhoneDog has launched legal proceedings seeking damages of $2.50 a month per follower for eight months, for a total of $340,000.

The company is arguing that Kravitz's list of followers constitutes a customer database and the valuation is an estimate of how much each follower is worth to the company.

The case raises questions about the value of Twitter to companies that are increasingly using the website to communicate with customers and promote their products.

Legal observers believe that if damages are awarded against Kravitz, it could set a precedent for assigning a commercial value to Twitter followers acquired in a business context.

When using iTunes or QuickTime within Microsoft® Windows Vista® to view CatheDownload videos, you may experience a noticeable synchronization issue between the audio and video (the audio may get ahead of the video or vice-versa). This is a known and widespread problem with M4V video files (the format CatheDownloads employs) in Vista, but has no solution. Your videos will still play correctly on your iPod/iPhone, but if you view them on your computer screen you might experience the problem. Mac OS X® and PCs running Windows XP® or Windows 7® do not have the issue.
Our only suggestions to solve this problem are to either install Microsoft's Zune® software for viewing, available at http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/software/download/default.htm (see our tutorial sheet for detailed instructions on using Zune software) or to upgrade your computer to Microsoft Windows 7, which does not use QuickTime for native M4V vid- eo playback. We're sorry there is not a more elegant solution to this synchronization problem. However if one is developed, we will post information on the CatheDownload site.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
Created with a meshed line shell, the Quiksilver Batfox Snowboard Jacket is one of the better options when it comes to secure insulation without the burden of added weight. Top features include a Batfox Weather Seal Hood, three pockets (including one interior) and 10,000mm of waterproof protection. This item is also a regular fit item, so it proves to be suitable for all sizes. This Quicksilver Batfox creation is packed with comfort and accessories, making it a nice buy for both casual and active wearers.
I think this jacket has amazing graphics, I got the American Flag version. It is really waterproof and kinda warm its not that insulated. Just one problem was that the stitching was undone under one of my under arm pockets when I first got it. But I never usually open that pocket anyway so it doesn't matter. Yea the graphics are pretty sick in real life. Yea I went with a bigger size for this jacket so I could grow into it and it was perfect for me. Hope that helped.

Cattlemen meet for annual picnicPublished 10:20am Tuesday, July 16, 2013
The Morgan County Cattlemen's Association met Saturday for their annual picnic at Diamond S. Farms in east Morgan County. More than 100 members, spouses and guests enjoyed the outdoor cookout.
State Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, addressed the group about the potential benefits of farm irrigation and shared information about an unsuccessful irrigation tax credit bill he sponsored in the 2013 legislative session.
Senate Bill 204 proposed a tax credit equal to 20 percent of the total unreimbursed cost (up to $10,000) of the purchase and installation of any qualified irrigation equipment, any unreimbursed costs related to conversion of irrigation equipment from fuel to electricity or any unreimbursed cost of construction of a reservoir.
"We are sending millions of dollars a year to the Midwest to purchase corn," Orr explained. "I think it's a good idea for us to keep that money in Alabama. We work hard to bring industries to Alabama, but a lot of the money spent for products Alabama makes leaves the state. On the other hand, most of the money generated from agricultural products remains at home. I plan to continue to work for this bill. If you have ideas that we can use to promote it in the Legislature, please let me know."
The presentation of 14 college scholarships was a highlight of the meeting. Jessica Wallace received a scholarship from the Morgan County Cattlewomen, and Jared Rowe received the Sherman Kirby Memorial Scholarship.
The Cattlemen awarded scholarships to Haley Grace Cunningham, Alice Ann Glasgow, Jordan Turney, Thomas Dalton Jenkins, Seth Pillow, Benjamin Turney, Jake Jenkins, Carrie Hill, Isaac Alexander, Andrew Hampton, Dillon Bullard, Emily Hill and Thomas Jenkins.

Beregond doesn't realise his enemies are closer than they appear to be
There was a small pause as though whoever it was on the other line was hesitating, and then Maes heard a familiar voice.
Maes beamed at once.
"Beregond! What's up?" Before the Gondorian had the chance to answer though, Maes continued on. "Did you call to hear about Elysia? You know she can count up to ten now? You should hear her saying the numbers as she picks at each cute little finger of hers! I have yet to get a good picture of her while doing that, but I will eventually! And she's going to turn four next month! My little girl is growing up!"
If anyone walked in on Maes now, they would be certain that there were winged hearts floating around the lieutenant colonel's head.
Beregond seemed to have created a mental image like that while listening to Hughes, because Maes could have sworn he heard a mild chuckle.
"Next thing you know, she's going to get married," Beregond said.
Hughes sobered at once. "What do you mean, 'get married'? She's just a baby!" he said defensively.
"So much for growing up, eh?"
And like that, he was caught in the same subtle way which reminded him of Gracia. Maes let out a small condescending laugh.
"Touche," he said before sitting more comfortably on his chair. "Now... what's the real reason you called?"
"Well, one of them is actually a favour," Beregond answered. Maes noted that the Gondorian's voice sounded nervous. "I know you have a lot of work though, so if you can't, it's perfectly fine."
Maes rolled his eyes. "First of all," he said in a teasing manner, "I've already told you it's perfectly okay to ask for help when problems present themselves. And second: I won't know if I can help you or not if you don't tell me what it is."
"Right," Beregond said, exhaling a breath.
Jeez, you sound as though you're facing the execution squad, Maes thought.
"Okay, here's the deal," the Gondorian finally said. "There's this librarian, an acquaintance of mine actually, whose name is Sarah Abbot. As of today, she's to check in at the State Central Library. The trouble is she got the notification of her transfer so quickly that she didn't have time to arrange much and..." Beregond suddenly stopped and cleared his throat. "To cut a long story short: is it possible to help her settle nicely there?"
Maes guffawed.
"That's what's been bothering you? And here I was thinking that you were to ask me something challenging!"
"So there's no problem?" Beregond asked, his tone clearly showing his relief.
"No problem whatsoever! When does she arrive?"
"Hang on a minute." There was the sound of shuffling papers for several moments, until Beregond finally answered: "5 o'clock today."
"Perfect," Maes said. "Gracia will be able to pick her up and show her around. And she can sleep at our place till I find some comfortable lodgings for her. I know just where to look, so it shouldn't take too long."
If Maes were able to, he would have seen Beregond gaping incredulously. "You really don't have to go through all that."
"I want to, no sweat," Maes said. "So, what does she look like? I'll need to give some description to Gracia if she's to pick her up."
"Well..." Beregond didn't speak as he thought hard for a couple of minutes. "She's in her mid twenties; long black hair, which she ties to a loose ponytail at times; green eyes; slender form. Her daughter, Alice, is about seven, turning eight this summer; blond, blue eyes..."
"She has a daughter?" Maes asked at once, smiling broadly. "That's wonderful! They can be friends with Elysia!"
"I was hoping for that. Alice was quite upset when she heard she had to leave, but I assured her she would find new friends."
"Then don't worry. Everything will be taken care of," Maes said reassuringly.
"Thank you, Hughes. I really do appreciate it."
"Anytime," Maes said. However, there was something in that tone that made him realise that there was something else. "Will that be all?" he asked, baiting Beregond.
"Um... no." There was another pause for quite some time. "I was wondering, really..."
"What about?" Maes said in the hopes that Beregond would open up.
"Did you hear from them at all?"
"Them? Oh!" Maes hadn't caught on at once. "I spoke with Armstrong yesterday. They're in Central and they're well, following a lead on the you-know-what; but I have yet to see them personally. The office is up to the ceiling filled with cases to be examined, and I can't get away not even for an hour."
"I see."
Maes frowned when he caught the disappointment in Beregond's voice. "What's the matter?"
"There was something that I really wanted to talk to them about. It's all right though. They should focus on their own search first."
"If you say so," Maes said with a shrug. He didn't want to pursue the matter further when it was clearly something between Beregond and the boys. "Do you want me to send your regards?"
Maes smiled before he could help it. It looks like someone's been missing his friends.
"Then I will. Don't worry."
It was then that the door opened again and a private came in with more case files in her hands. Maes groaned inwardly.
"Beregond, I'm afraid I have to go now. But still, call again some time, okay? Bye!"
And as soon as Beregond returned the farewell, Maes hung up the phone. He turned with a huge innocent grin at the private.
"You know... my daughter is turning four next month! Wanna see some pictures of her?"
It worked like a charm. The private vanished in the blink of an eye.
Beregond put the receiver down with a sigh. There went another chance for him to talk to Edward and Alphonse about what he had found.
Now he could only hope his luck would be better next time.
He caught sight of the paper on which he had written down the itinerary of the train Sarah and Alice were in. Picking it up, he threw it straight into the trashcan, since he didn't need it anymore. The woman and her little girl were gone, after all.
And that, incidentally, made Havoc less talkative than usual today. In fact, the only answer that anyone were able to get out of him was an absentminded "Yeah" - when Breda told him that there was a three-headed monkey hanging from the ceiling.
If that wasn't proof that Havoc's mind was elsewhere entirely, Beregond didn't know what was.
Then again, Havoc didn't know that Sarah had confidentially asked Beregond for Havoc's phone-number. And, of course, Havoc didn't know that Beregond gave it to her with a huge grin on his face, aware that the lieutenant would be in for quite the surprise in one of the days to follow.
It was then that a warm feeling settled in Beregond's heart and made him look out the window. He couldn't help it, but this situation brought back a lot of fond memories. Memories of a time when he and his fellow soldiers teased Meneldor, yet made sure their friend would get the woman of his heart's desire.
Exactly what Faramir did when Beregond's heart beat for...
He got up from his chair quite abruptly and stretched, scolding himself for letting his reminiscing run away with him. Surely there must be something to do around here to forget himself...
His musings were cut off when the door opened and Hawkeye stepped in.
"Lieutenant Hawkeye," he said and saluted politely, trying not to think that her timing was ironic.
"Am I interrupting you from something, Sergeant Beregond?" Riza asked after saluting as well. "I need to borrow some paperclips; I've run out."
Beregond smiled. "Edward keeps them in his desk. Hold on a second and I'll get them for you."
She didn't say anything this time, but she rewarded Beregond with a small smile as she waited patiently for Beregond to open the drawer.
The moment that he looked inside the drawer, Beregond froze.
That can't be right!
She spoke formally, but Beregond didn't fail to notice the slight tone of worry. He quickly smiled and reached for the paperclips.
"For a moment I thought I didn't have any after all," he said in a carefree manner, handing her the little box. "Will these be enough?"
"They will do," Hawkeye answered, nodding her thanks. She was almost halfway out of the door, when she stopped on her tracks as though remembering something. "By the way, there is something else."
Beregond raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Oh?"
"Every Friday there is a small gathering of the unit at a bar not far from here. You missed last Friday, but the guys wanted me to let you know that you're more than welcome to join us from this Friday on."
Beregond was pleasantly surprised. "I'd really like that. Tell them it's settled."
"I will." And with that, she was gone.
Beregond still looked at the direction of the door for a few moments. And though he wanted to grin at the prospect of bonding with his new fellow soldiers, there were far more pressing matters at present. His gaze locked hard on the open drawer again.
Edward's large yellow folder was missing, even though Beregond was certain that he had seen it there only a few days ago.
He didn't move it, so who did? Without letting him know, no less?
It was then that a terrible suspicion crossed the Gondorian's mind and made him swallow hard.
Because Beregond realised that, if somebody did steal the folder, it meant there was something quite important in there.
If anyone had cared enough to look at the Headquarters' terrace, they would have noticed a lithe young man sitting in the most carefree manner at the edge of it. They would also have been surprised by the strange clothing that barely covered his torso and hips, not to mention the unruly long dark-green strands of hair. In fact, he seemed more like a street bump, which meant he shouldn't be near any military building.
In spite of that, a darkly-clothed and inhumanly beautiful woman walked up to him as though his presence there was the most natural thing in the world.
"Well, Envy?" Lust asked. Her high-heels made quite the loud clicking sound against the concrete floor as she walked towards the other homunculus.
Envy lifted his head just slightly, his face the epitome of contentment as he continued basking under the sun.
"Welcome back, Lust," he said. "What news?"
"I arrived with Gluttony at the State Central Library before the Fullmetal Boy as planned. But before we had the time to find Marcoh's notes for ourselves, we came across our other 'friend'. The fight was ugly, I can tell you that."
Envy finally opened his eyes and faced the female homunculus. "So the wound the sergeant inflicted on his arm is healed. The question is: what is he doing in Central?"
Lust shrugged. "I don't know. He was probably looking for something. Not that it makes all that much of a difference anyway. Because of his meddling, the entire 1st Branch was burned to the ground."
"Was he taken care of, at least?"
Lust shook her head. "It took me hours to get through to Gluttony and tell him he can get him next time."
Envy clicked his tongue. "That could have been handled better. Nevertheless, the mission was a success. We may not have gotten the files, but neither has the shrimp."
Lust nodded and sat down beside Envy. "What about your mission?"
Envy grinned as he patted a large yellow folder beside him. "It's going smoothly. Do you want to have a look?"
"Don't mind if I do," Lust said, smiling sweetly and taking the file. "It sounds a very promising reading."
"It is, though it's not complete," Envy admitted. "A very frustrated Lieutenant Colonel filled some holes here and there with his babbling, but I need a little bit more." An almost demonic grin formed on his lips as the idea that had already formed on his mind pleased him to no end. "And I think I know how I can get it."
"I'm sorry. Because they were so many, it took five days to complete."
Nevertheless, Scieszka seemed very happy to have finished her task. She had a very big smile on her face as she placed the notebooks and piles of papers down on the desk of her room.
"Here we are. The duplicates of Mr. Tim Marcoh's research documents," she announced, showing them proudly to her visitors.
Ed and Al couldn't do anything less but stare in wonder at the papers and the girl.
"She really did it," Al said, astounded.
"There are some incredible people in the world, aren't there, Al?" seconded Edward, his eyes widened. Both boys picked a notebook each, hardly believing that they had finally the object of their quest right before their eyes.
"You know, I begin to see why Marcoh didn't take his research with him," Al noted, checking the sheer volume of some documents. "There are just too many stuff."
"This is really Dr. Marcoh's?" Ed asked Scieszka.
"Yes, without a doubt," the girl said, still smiling. "Tim Marcoh's cook book - '1000 flavours for today's menu'."
That seemed to satisfy the young alchemists. However, it didn't satisfy the boys' escorts, who were looking at the girl incredulously.
"That can't be right!" Ross said. She instantly picked up a piece of paper to read it. "Add a dash of water to one tablespoon of sugar..." She looked up again. "This really is '1000 flavours for today's menu'!"
"Hey, you!" Bloch exclaimed, frowning at Scieszka's direction. "Just how are these important documents?!"
"Impor--?" Scieszka clearly didn't expect this. "Oh no! I only copied them as I read and remembered!"
Bloch blinked. "So this is something completely different, written by a namesake? Was this a waste of time?"
But neither Al nor Ed paid attention to what was going around them anymore. They were just looking at the papers, murmuring and finally coming to an agreement.
Ed turned again at Scieszka. "This is really what Marcoh wrote, word for word, without a mistake?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm positive!" Scieszka answered at once.
At that reply, Ed smiled broadly. "Okay. Al, let's take this back to Central Library."
"Yup, there are plenty of dictionaries there, too," Alphonse agreed.
The other three members of the party looked at the alchemists in a confused manner, feeling that they were missing something. Ed was far from finished though. He took out a small notebook and scribbled something on it hastily before giving it to Ross along with his pocket watch.
"2nd Lieutenant Ross, I have here my registration code, my signature and my silver watch; they will serve as proof of my identity. Go to the State Alchemist Division at the Fuhrer's office, withdraw from my annual research funds the sum of money that I wrote and then give it to Scieszka."
"Yes, sir," Ross said at once, taking the items carefully.
"Good." And with that, Ed picked up several stacks of papers and followed Bloch and Al out of the door. "Thanks a lot, Scieszka!"
Ross and the young girl looked at each other, now more confused than never.
"Hmm... from his research expenses..." Ross murmured. Before she could help it, she and Scieszka took a peek at the piece of paper on which Ed had written minutes before.
They both blanched at once.
"Why is there so much money?!" Scieszka exclaimed.
On the other hand, Ross wondered something different entirely.
"What kind of a kid can pull that kind of sum?!"
"I still don't understand what this stuff has to do with what you're looking for," Bloch said in disbelief. He looked again at the papers that were now at the table of the Central Library, scratching his head in a confused manner.
Ed sighed. That was one of the reasons that he wanted Beregond here instead of Bloch as an escort. The Gondorian would have understood that this 'stuff' had everything to do with it.
Still, he was in such a good mood that he decided to indulge the man.
"Alchemists have a code to offer the fruits of their research to anyone who needs it without bias - /Be thou for the people/," he explained. "But we've also got to prevent non-practitioners from learning that knowledge."
"Oh, I see," Bloch said, his features brightening. "It would be a problem if alchemy were easily understandable and used for the wrong purposes."
"And how do they prevent that from happening?" Ed asked in the manner of a teacher giving a lesson to a small kid. "By coding their alchemic research documents." He picked up one of the papers and showed it to Bloch. "To a non-practitioner, this looks like they're only looking at recipes. In fact, they're highly advanced files on alchemy with many hidden meanings and metaphors that only the one who wrote them can understand."
"Someone that only the one who wrote it can understand..." Bloch echoed. "But then... how are you going to decode it?"
"By using a little knowledge and a lot of patience," Ed answered, settling down on the chair near him.
"Ugh... That seems to be daunting," Bloch said.
Al nodded. "But I think that parts that were modelled after recipes are still easy to decode. After all, there are people that say alchemy was born from the kitchen," he said. "Brother's research notes are written like travelogues; so even if I read them, I wouldn't be able to understand."
"While a certain someone's that I know are just the names of women," Ed said conversationally.
That earned him a very curious look from Al.
Ed huffed slightly at the memory as he told what happened.
"There was this time that Havoc wanted to see just how many girlfriends he lost because of /him/, but he 'borrowed' his alchemic journal by mistake instead. Don't ask me how I know all this; it's too long a story and not a pretty one."
By now it was clear that Bloch was getting too lost. "Do you mean that Sergeant Beregond?" he asked curiously.
Ed and Al laughed out loud as soon as those words sank in.
"No," Al finally answered. "But his code is unique and virtually unbreakable, too. He is the only one who can read it."
"Why? What is he using?"
"His mother language," Ed said with a smile.
"A foreigner, eh? That explains the weird name..." Bloch said in a mumbling tone before he could help it. "But that means that anyone else who happens to know his language can just translate his notes!"
"That's why it's unbreakable," Al said. "There is no one else."
"No one?" Bloch exclaimed, his eyes widening. "How?"
"It's kinda complicated and we wouldn't want to say anything more without his consent," Ed said. "Perhaps you'll get to meet him one day and you'll see for yourself what we're talking about." And with that, the young alchemist looked again at the notes.
This was it. The answer to their problems was in their hands. All they had to do was break the code and then...
Ed's heart warmed as he thought at the infinite prospects that would open before him and his brother.
"All right, Al!" announced Ed. "Let's decode this and take a look at the truth!"
"Right!" Al cried happily.
"Are you certain of this, Sergeant?" Roy asked. He was sitting behind his desk, looking hard at the Gondorian.
Beregond nodded. "The folder was there the last time I looked in that drawer."
"And there was no sign of forced entry?"
"None whatsoever."
Mustang crossed his arms and remained for several moments lost in thought. "Do you know what was in that folder by any chance?"
Beregond shook his head. "Edward said that he was to work on this on his own, so I didn't touch it except whenever I gave it to him or put it back in its place. All I can tell you is that it was large and yellow."
Mustang's eyes widened slightly at this. "Yellow, you said?"
That was enough for Beregond to realise something. "Do you know which folder I'm talking about, Sir?"
"I think I have an idea..." Roy replied softly, but he didn't continue. He just nodded in reassurance. "I will look into this personally, Sergeant. Meanwhile, I think it's best if you should focus on your own search in order to find the answers you're looking for."
"Should I tell of this to Edward, Sir?" Beregond asked. "It was his file."
Roy shook his head. "There is no need to worry him for the present."
"Understood, Sir," Beregond said and saluted. "Have a good night."
After Roy had saluted as well, Beregond walked out and headed for his home, clothed heavily to repel the frosty cold of winter. Before he crossed the gate, he looked one last time at the direction of Headquarters to see a single light on the top floor and the figure of the Colonel pacing up and down the room.
It didn't take a great mind to understand that Roy was troubled. And it didn't take a great mind to understand that that sounded like bad news to Beregond either.
What was in that folder anyway?
But Beregond decided not to think about it anymore. There was nothing he could do anyway, even though he didn't like this turn of events at all. So, he just lifted his gaze at the stars, since their brilliance was a sight that always comforted him, and then moved on.
He had barely taken ten steps when he heard a small meowing sound quite close to him. Beregond stopped on his tracks and looked around, trying to determine from where the cat had called. A second meowing helped him pinpoint the location and he picked up a couple of carton boxes so as to look underneath them.
A pair of half lidded copper-coloured eyes looked up at him, and then the orange tabby kitten meowed pitifully again, shivering violently.
Beregond had to admit to himself that it was quite the heart-wrenching sight.
"Neithan tithen un," (Poor little thing) he murmured before he could help it. "Man cerich si?"(What are you doing here?)
He didn't expect an answer of course. So he simply extended both hands and tentatively placed them on the kitten.
"Avo 'osto. U-thelin uthaes." (Don't fret. I won't harm you.)
The kitten seemed to sense what it was told, because it didn't put up a fight as the man picked it up and put it on the inside of his thick jacket to warm it. Beregond winced at how skinny and weak the small creature was, but the kitten seemed to be much happier now. It started purring quite loudly and rubbing its head against the man's chin.
"U-'erich dartho mi ring," (You can't stay in the cold) Beregond said thoughtfully, rubbing the animal slightly behind its ears. "Ingon telithath go nin."(I guess you will come with me.)
The kitten didn't bother to respond in any way. It just closed its eyes and enjoyed the body warmth it was offered for the duration of the walk back to Beregond's house. As soon as Beregond unlocked the door, it jumped out of the man's grasp and hurried inside to settle on the couch, still purring and watching the man in a friendly manner.
Beregond couldn't help but chuckle. "Tegithon aes," (I'll bring food) he said, and headed into the kitchen. "Estelion 'erin nad an le." (I hope I have something for you)
All the kitten did was close its eyes in contentment. It had every reason to be happy, after all.
Still smiling, Beregond opened the refrigerator and took a peek inside. "Looks like it will be cold chicken for both of us, little one," he declared, slipping into the Amestrian Tongue out of habit.
He grinned broadly as the purring reached his ears even louder.
"I take that as a yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, Beregond had finished his dinner and it was time to see to some small chores around the house. He arose and went to the kitchen sink to wash his plate, followed closely by a very exuberant and playful kitten. It even managed to cling with all four claws on the man's trousers, enjoying the ride as the Gondorian walked about, something that made the man laugh heartily. In fact, it only settled down when Beregond picked it up and held it in his arms. To be precise, it went almost completely limb like a ragdoll, allowing Beregond to pet it to its heart's content, until Beregond settled cross-legged on the floor and picked up a book with his free hand.
"Time for work now. I hope you don't mind, little one."
But the kitten dug its claws on the man's sleeve, thus making it quite clear that it had no intention whatsoever of letting go of the man's arm. So, Beregond settled with holding the book in one hand, while the kitten kept sniffing every now and then at the pages as the Gondorian turned them.
At that moment, Beregond couldn't help thinking that the kitten reminded him too much of Edward: small, yet strong and lively - not to mention eager and curious and wishing to know everything.
And, of course, Beregond knew a certain someone who would have loved having the kitten around. Al had a really gentle heart.
The little creature's fur got ruffled as the man heaved a sigh, making it shudder involuntarily. The kitten looked at the man with what could only be labelled a reproachful look.
"I just wish my friends could have seen you," Beregond said, petting it a bit before turning his attention to the book again. "Now... where were we? Ah... the journey of the fairies and their realms..."
And with that, the Gondorian resumed with his studying. He never noticed that the kitten locked its copper-coloured eyes on his form, studying him/. Nor did he realise that it was listening on to everything the man mumbled under his breath as he still read on the book, as well as paying utmost attention to everything that was scribbled on a notebook nearby. Indeed, the only time that Beregond lifted his gaze was to look at the small clock on the table and so finally admit that it was /very late.
"No wonder I feel drowsy," he declared to no one in particular. He closed the book and placed the kitten down so that it would curl up and sleep in a corner, whereas he made all the necessary nightly rituals before settling on the couch with a blanket covering him. When he wrote one final thing on his journal, he flicked off the switch of the lamp beside him and covered the room in darkness. In less than ten minutes, his breathing had relaxed and he was fast asleep.
But the kitten didn't feel like sleeping. It just jumped on the small table that was beside the couch and settled there, watching Beregond in silence and its tail swishing back and forth.

Should Cannabis be legalized as a medicine?
The rich biodiversity of plants in nature has provided humans many medicines to prevent and cure sickness and disease. The use of cannabis as a medicine continues to gain acceptance within the scientific and medical community, with Connecticut early this month joining 16 other states to legalize it for medical use. Case studies continue to support the value of cannabis as a medicine to ameliorate various ailments ranging from glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, Parkinson's, chronic pain, and nausea associated with cancer.
Despite scientific evidence supporting medicinal qualities from cannabis, much controversy surrounds outright legalization for medicinal use. While many states currently allow cannabis as an alternative to traditional medicines, the FDA continues to classify cannabis as a schedule I drug subjecting patients to possible fines and/or imprisonment under federal law.
Can cannabis find a place in today's society as an alternative medicine, or are possible unforeseen consequences too great to allow this plant for medicinal use?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 21 2012: I do not think the legality of the drug would be the biggest issue, but how the drug is bought and sold without reaching those who will sell the drug for recreational use. I think the method of administering the right to grow your own plants should not be allowed, the patient should have to request a prescription and refill it at a pharmacy to control the amount released to the public. This is because there are those irresponsible people who will grow more than needed and give the extra to someone for resale and in turn be used not as a health aid, but as a possibly dangerous recreational activity. Any attempt to lower the excess drug to the public, the better. If they can legalize it while controlling its distribution, I see no problem in the legalization of marijuana.

An artists private retreat. 3 houses. 8 rooms. Lots of jungle!
8 rooms in 3 houses are available for private rental which includes accommodation and all meals. The rental rate is based on 2 adults in 1 room for 1 night.
The houses have their own living areas (the Studio shares those of the Main House). In addition they share a large library pavilion below the Main House, and the fantastic pool and Pool House which is fabulously situated with views over the bamboo and jungle. The Pool House is the heart and meeting place at Tiger Rock and becomes the central dining area when all houses are in use. It is stunning at night when candlelit for barbeques and seafood dinners.
The Main House
The Wilkinson family's private house is great fro families. This is a large colorful, rambling, wooden house built around the traditional kampung style, and is perfect for a family holiday. Master bedroom and balcony, and large children's room, both with ensuite bathrooms. Rooms are fitted with both fans and air conditioning. The living areas include great spaces for dining, relaxing and playing. Satellite T.V. is fitted and is a useful distraction at times, for the children.
The Studio
Previously Rebecca's workplace, is situated behind the Main House. A great airy space with lots of French doors and a funky 'rock' bathroom. For larger family groups it becomes part of the Main House, but is lovely for couples who want privacy. French doors open onto a private lawn with wonderful views over the valley and jungle. In the mornings, it is a bliss to open all the doors, lie in bed and snooze with the jungle in front of you.
The Pool House Chalet
This is a separate small cottage that is situated near the pool with its own veranda overlooking the jungle at the end of the pool.
This is great for those who do not want to be far from the Pool, or cannot walk up and down our slopes. It has easy access to the pool & dining areas of the Pool House. For family groups this room is the favourite for grandpa & grandma, but also perfect for a young couple wanting privacy.
Hill House
The Wilkinsons private guesthouse, is surrounded by mature trees and palms and has views across the sea.. Built after the style of a colonial tea estate bungalow the 4 large private suites, all with ensuite bathrooms and verandas, are fitted with fans and air-conditioning. 2 of these bedrooms have an adjoining door which opens them up as a large family suite. Hill House is made up of 3 pavilions on stone wall terraces. The central living, dining and kitchen pavilion provides a totally open air jungle experience with views through to the sea.
At night, it's fun to watch the chichaks (the common house lizard) catching insects around the lanterns. All the houses and rooms have been decorated individually by Rebecca and David, and show off their collection of artworks, antiques, artifacts and inspiring bits and pieces.

Three for the future
Posted in ECB ACO
I am in my room at the Barnsdale Lodge Hotel in Oakham, about to go for dinner after the first day of the MCC Spirit of Cricket Under 13 National Club Championship.
I am here as this was identified as a tournament to target the use of young officials.
Here with me for the two days are three young umpires - Chris Fortune from Bristol, Andrew Dowsett from Kent and Ethan Harvey from Southampton. They were among a few of our top young officials who I contacted to do these finals because they are very good young umpires.
I feel that this could be a tournament that yields great opportunities for our young officials to learn and develop and this is a major part of my role as Young Officials Development Officer. This is something that I also said in an interview with ECBtv.
I hope the guys I have brought here enjoy the experience and take something new from it and hopefully I can create more opportunities for more young upcoming officials in the future.
Away from this I also made my Lord's debut in the annual ECB v MCC staff game on the Nursery Ground. I opened the bowling and took two wickets but got a duck when batting. These things can't be helped.
