Understanding is, after all, what science is all about - and science is a great deal more than mere mindless computation.
By Ron Cowen
Most cosmologists trace the birth of the universe to the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. But a new analysis of the relic radiation generated by that explosive event suggests the universe got its start eons earlier and has cycled through myriad episodes of birth and death, with the Big Bang merely the most recent in a series of starting guns.
That startling notion, proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose of the University of Oxford in England and Vahe Gurzadyan of the Yerevan Physics Institute and Yerevan State University in Armenia, goes against the standard theory of cosmology known as inflation.
The researchers base their findings on circular patterns they discovered in the cosmic microwave background, the ubiquitous microwave glow left over from the Big Bang. The circular features indicate that the cosmos itself circles through epochs of endings and beginnings, Penrose and Gurzadyan assert. The researchers describe their controversial findings in an article posted at arXiv.org on November 17.
The circular features are regions where tiny temperature variations in the otherwise uniform microwave background are smaller than average. Those features, Penrose said, cannot be explained by the highly successful inflation theory, which posits that the infant cosmos underwent an enormous growth spurt, ballooning from something on the scale of an atom to the size of a grapefruit during the universe's first tiny fraction of a second. Inflation would either erase such patterns or could not easily generate them.
"The existence of large-scale coherent features in the microwave background of this form would appear to contradict the inflationary model and would be a very distinctive signature of Penrose's model" of a cyclic universe, comments cosmologist David Spergel of Princeton University. But, he adds, "The paper does not provide enough detail about the analysis to assess the reality of these circles."
Penrose interprets the circles as providing a look back, past the glass wall of the most recent Big Bang, into the universe's previous episode, or "aeon," as he calls it. The circles, he suggests, were generated by collisions between supermassive black holes that occurred during this earlier aeon. The colliding black holes would have created a cacophony of gravitational waves — ripples in spacetime due to the acceleration of the giant masses. Those waves would have been spherical and uniformly distributed.
According to the detailed mathematics worked out by Penrose, when the uniform distribution of gravitational waves from the previous aeon entered the current aeon, they were converted into a pulse of energy. The pulse provided a uniform kick to the allotment of dark matter, the invisible material that accounts for more than 80 percent of the mass of the cosmos.
"The dark matter material along the burst therefore has this uniform character," says Penrose. "This is what is seen as a circle in our cosmic microwave background sky, and it should look like a fairly uniform circle."
Each circle has a lower-than-average variation in temperature, which is just what he and Gurzadyan found when they analyzed data from NASA's orbiting Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, or WMAP, which scanned the entire sky for nine years, and the balloon-borne BOOMERANG experiment, which studied microwave background over a smaller fraction of the heavens.
Because the team found similar circular features with two different detectors, Penrose says it's unlikely he and his colleagues are being fooled by instrumental noise or other artifacts.
But Spergel says he is concerned that the team has not accounted for variations in the noise level of WMAP data acquired over different parts of the sky. WMAP examined different sky regions for different amounts of time. Maps of the microwave background generated from those regions studied the longest would have lower noise and smaller recorded variations in the temperature of the microwave glow. Those lower-noise maps could artificially produce the circles that Penrose and Gurzadyan ascribe to their model of a cyclic universe, Spergel says.
A new, more detailed map of the cosmic microwave background, now being conducted by the European Space Agency's Planck mission, could provide a more definitive test of the theory, Penrose says.
In physics and cosmology, the anthropic principle is the philosophical argument that observations of the physical Universe must be compatible with the conscious life that observes it. Some proponents of the argument reason that it explains why the Universe has the age and the fundamental physical constants necessary to accommodate conscious life. As a result, they believe that the fact that the Universe's fundamental constants are within the narrow range thought to allow life is not remarkable.
The Strong Anthropic principle as explained by Barrow and Tipler (see Variants) states that this is all the case because conscious life, in some sense, needed to exist. Critics argue in favor of a Weak Anthropic principle, which states that the universe's fine tuning amounts to selection bias; in an infinite universe, some worlds might evolve conscious life. Douglas Adams used the metaphor of a living puddle examining its own shape, since, to those living creatures, the universe may appear to fit them perfectly (in fact, they simply fit the universe perfectly).
"The argument can be used to explain why the conditions happen to be just right for the existence of (intelligent) life on the earth at the present time. For if they were not just right, then we should not have found ourselves to be here now, but somewhere else, at some other appropriate time. This principle was used very effectively by Brandon Carter and Robert Dicke to resolve an issue that had puzzled physicists for a good many years. The issue concerned various striking numerical relations that are observed to hold between the physical constants (the gravitational constant, the mass of the proton, the age of the universe, etc.). A puzzling aspect of this was that some of the relations hold only at the present epoch in the earth's history, so we appear, coincidentally, to be living at a very special time (give or take a few million years!). This was later explained, by Carter and Dicke, by the fact that this epoch coincided with the lifetime of what are called main-sequence stars, such as the sun. At any other epoch, so the argument ran, there would be no intelligent life around in order to measure the physical constants in question — so the coincidence had to hold, simply because there would be intelligent life around only at the particular time that the coincidence did hold!"

The 'NxSET -Music1′ from S1 looks more like a brain control apparatus for a prison camp than a pair of headphones, but that's exactly what it is. Say what?! This Jody Laford looking device takes the place of a pair of headphones. It straps around the users neck and projects sound towards the ears thanks to the built-in speakers and "high-fidelty" amplifier that is said to produce "rich bass, crisp, clear middle and high range sound". Yeah, I'm skeptical.
The 'NxSET -music1′ looks to be flawed from the get go, though, design aside. It sports an antiquated 2.5mm jack and requires 2 AA batteries.

Towing the office party line
BEING THE MANAGER means you have certain responsibilities to the company and to
your staff -- even at office parties, says Gay Wakefield, Ph.D., director of the Center
for Productive Communication at the M.J. Neeley School for Business, in Fort Worth,
Texas. Wakefield advises taking these responsibilities seriously; they could affect
your job.
1. Understand the event's purpose
The office party is not really a party, Wakefield says. "It's a business function
in a social wrapping. It's a chance for the organization to see how you and your staff
function in social events outside the normal environment."
2. Prepare staff
Because the office party isn't a let-loose type of event, managers need to prepare
staff accordingly. Wakefield says many younger employees don't understand the
difference between a frat party and an office party. Don't wait until a staffer is out
of control to discuss appropriate office-function behavior, Wakefield says. "The better
route is to talk with employees before the party about your expectations. Tell them
what the department's image is and should be. Come Monday, people will not forget what
someone did on Friday night."
3. Be party neutral
In addition to being a potential problem for employees, alcohol can be a source of
stress for some managers. "Should a manager drink at an office party? Some say no, and
there's nothing wrong with that," Wakefield says. The director reports that many
managers will have one drink and "nurse it throughout the evening and then have water.
That way you're not perceived as looking down on drinkers."
4. Listen and learn
The end-of-the-year party is often an excellent time to "keep your eyes open and
your mouth shut," Wakefield says. Don't start conversations with shoptalk, but if the
person who brings up the office at the party is in a higher-level position, go along
with that conversation," Wakefield says.
Wakefield says that the office party is also a good time to smile, nod, and
learn. "Be a good listener. You may learn something valuable. But don't let your tongue
wag in return."
5. Remember your manners
Even though the office party is not a true social event, etiquette plays an
important part. "Be sure to greet the hosts and let them know you are pleased to
attend. Before leaving, seek out the hosts and thank them for the 'social' evening,"
Wakefield says.

The Vampire Diaries Season 5 - PaleyFest Promo [HD]
Nina Dobrev at the Paleyfest 2014 Vampire Diaries Panel on what Elena should do by the end of the series.
« It's nothing you haven't seen before... »
pEOPLE HATING ON CHARACTERS FOR BEING REALISTICALLY EMOTIONAL IN TRAUMATIZING SITUATIONS
Srsly though, the Katherine thing is super disturbing. She just got marked as the worst sinner in the narrative. Her cardinal sin? Always prioritizing herself.
But Elena and her clothing choices give me a lot of feelings because of stuff like this. She has a remarkably similar pattern, especially going into s4 and onwards, where in moments where she feels more confidence or comfort in herself (or tries her best to be and construct herself that way), she tends to wear more dresses or shorts or brighter colours, but after something traumatic she tends to dress in more jeans and cardigans and more practical clothing. You could see it in how she was dressing and how it shifted into season 4 after she found out about the sire bond as well as after she was forced to turn her humanity back on. So far s5 has had her in pretty bright colours, lots of shorts and patterned dresses, so seeing her in a loose fit and muted cardigan in 5x16 shows she's pretty clearly traumatized by the whole possession thing. It's very similar to what she was wearing when the Salvatores held her captive in 4x21, which is pretty distressing.

Carl Zeiss Jena three times winners of the DDR-Oberliga and 1981 European Cup Winners Cup (ECWC) runners-up are currently plying their trade in the fourth level of German football with an average attendance a touch over 3500. Back in 1962 the record attendance at the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld was set when, despite the official capacity being just 16000, approximately 27500 squeezed in to watch a ECWC semi-final against Atletico Madrid.

There are a lot of things to love about Minnesota Timberwolves point guard, Ricky Rubio. The native Spaniard can see the floor better than most in the league. His passing? Though at times a bit wild, could be defined as extraordinary. His basketball IQ? One of the better in the league. But his shooting? Oh my – it's bad.
How bad, you ask? Historically bad.
Granted, Rubio at just 24 has only played in parts of three seasons at the NBA level but he has yet to shoot over 36% in a full season and according to HoopsHype is currently on pace to be the worst shooter in NBA history – at least according to percentages:
Rubio is currently on pace to be the worst percentage shooter in NBA history. Yes, you heard that right, worst in history. And if he doesn't fix his deficiencies in his shot, he won't ever reach his full potential and the mythical-like legend of Ricky Rubio in Spain will remain just that, a myth.
Thankfully, there is plenty of time for Rubio to fix his wayward jump shot. But it's a shame to see a player so gifted struggle so mightily with such a key component to success.

... We returned to Palma port at around 1600 and headed straight for some frozen yoghurt at this lovely local place (luckily near my new hotel!). After settling into the new hotel (which is also very nice), Kamal arrived at 2100 and we had a small dinner at a small place which was a bit less touristy - making a new barman friend (the best kind!) and sampling a few of his favourite cocktails. A really lovely day - but - ¡Dios mio! - I'm really looking forward to a lie in on ...
Day 5 - end of first week
... Spanish quite quickly as I won't actually be using it... Something to think about some more over the next few days. After class, there was some trouble as due to some admin error it looks like Monica will not be on the course next week. So that's not great! I had plans to go to the beach with Monica and Aoife but I was so tired I had to retreat to the hotel. Another afternoon by the pool ...
Day 4
... and I retreated to the rooftop pool - my first time actually in the pool and it was perfect. I opted for an early night tonight so watched the sun go down then headed to the jazz bar within the hotel for a quick drink before bed - taking my homework with me (oh I'm so cool...!). However bar was great and music was brilliant so I ended up staying too late and drinking too much for an early night... Hope to catch up on some sleep soon though! ...
Day 3
... so made the most of that and baked for a little while before heading down to do my homework! Tonight - the school has organised a visit to a flamenco display - well I think it is a display - somebody else said we had to learn flamenco ourselves - oh the joy of not really understanding the language! It was only me and Monica from our class but a few others from a more ...
Day 2
... although it really does take me back to those first few days at school - 25 years ago! I thought the lessons might be approached differently and just concentrate on getting by in Spanish, but it seems that this old school way is the standard method. Homework was finished early today so enjoyed a Puzzler by the pool - being so high (8th floor) means there is a lovely breeze to help cope with the 30C temperature... Dinner with Monica ...

G33 Red Wings at Oilers
A great defenseman is like a warm blanket on a cold winter's morning. Opposition sorties dissolve like sugar in coffee, alka-seltzer in water. The puck is moved up expertly and the shot gets through on the powerplay. Calm feet. Big brains. Complete skill set. A great NHL defenseman is a very valuable item.
The photo shows the expansion Buffalo Sabres against the veteran Red Wings. This was 40 years ago. Delvecchio is the captain for Detroit, Howe is crashing the net, Buffalo's #7 is Floyd Smith and #3 is I believe Tracy Pratt. This scene has been repeated thousands of times over since this photo, and NHL teams are still looking for defensemen.
I thought it might be interesting to compare the Wings and how they use defenders with how coach Renney is rolling them out this season.
It's 5×5 Rel Corsi but there's also the TOI totals and this is all players with 5 or more games. That's pretty consistent delivery of the top 6 there, with Lidstrom and Ian White getting the most work and delivering a solid year. Lidstrom is a freak, please Baby Jesus let one of these Oiler kids be half the player.
This is Qual Comp and Qual team and there's some interesting stuff here. By the way, all stats here courtesy Gabe Desjardins as always. White and Lidstrom are facing the toughes and then the veteran tandem of Kronwall and Stuart get the secondary toughs. I've seen quite a few games this season and that top 4D are very consistent and of course the wealth of veteran forwards helps out every shift.
Detroit had some issues over the summer with defensemen, and it's interesting to see how they solved those issues.
First thing we notice is that the Wings defenders have been healthy. Again this is >5gp and we see the Smid-Gilbert pairing at the top and Potter still shining after that brilliant start. Now, I know injuries are random things but the Oilers knew Ryan Whitney would be an issue and chose to solve their D problems with Barker and Suttin. Andy Sutton has been a pleasant surprise, but I think we knew Cam Barker's 5×5 performance would be outside the realm of "delivering consistent defensive play." A quick note on Jeff Petry–he does pretty well here.
This is about what we might expect, right? Smid and Gilbert followed by the dog's breakfast and Barker is behind the youngsters and the old guys. Only Colten Teubert is facing softer music.
I think that's the measurement we should employ, comparing the Oiler blue to a real, bona fide NHL top 6. How many Oiler defensemen could go to Detroit's training camp next season with a strong chance to play every night?
And another thing: is Ian White this good or does Lidstrom help that much even at his age? And if White is a better option than Barker–and he is–did Edmonton look into spending the extra money on White? How would they handle Petry? Why are their guys healthy? Would Smid-Gilbert improve Detroit? Where would they slot on the depth chart?
I don't remember the last time Detroit had fewer than 4 actual NHL defensemen. Probably in the days of Gary Bergman. I'm stretching it, but not by much.

@ Matthew -
Thanks for the info - I didn't know that about WoW's animation; it makes a lot more sense now when the devs talk about the difficulties they have with the models. I remember reading something about how they didn't think WoW would be around anywhere near this long when they first made it, and that explains a lot.
Also: good luck with finding work in the gaming industry! I've applied to several jobs at Blizzard, no response each time. But it's worth it to keep trying. ^_^

Our Guild groups do what #2 said. Everything that is BoE, everyone greeds on (unless someone needs it and they say so.) All BoP items are auto-pass and then we discuss and give it to the player who needs it most. If nobody needs it, we'll usually have someone DE it and roll on the shard. It seems to work great for our groups, but then again, it's not a PUG.

We don't know when David presented the card to Marion—perhaps in anticipation of their marriage or to acknowledge their status as wedded valentines—but every year Marion Ream placed it on display in their Pennsylvania home to celebrate Valentine's Day. The sweet tradition was continued by their granddaughter Pat Compher who donated this card with its lovely family story to the museum in 2013.

CNN's Roland Martin Suspended In Wake Of Homophobic Tweeting: Contributor's Comments About David Beckham's Super Bowl Ad for H&M Riles Gay Rights Groups — CNN Says Martin Won't Appear On Air "For the Time Being"
CNN has decided not to let journalist and contributor Roland Martin appear on the air "for the time being" after he came under fire from gay rights groups for tweeting about David Beckham's underwear commercial which aired at the Super Bowl, according to a Washington Post story. Martin tweeted, ""Ain't no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some damn David Beckham underwear!" and "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him!" He later said his comments were intended only to poke fun at soccer fans, not at men attracted to Beckham, but GLAAD and others characterized the tweets as advocating violence against gays, The Atlantic reports in an article by Eric Randall. CNN released this statement on Wednesday: "Roland Martin's tweets were regrettable and offensive. Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being."
According to The New Civil Rights Movement, Roland Martin, along with his wife, have a long history of anti-gay behavior. Martin has praised his wife, a pastor, for her work attempting to "cure" gay men and lesbians of their homosexuality. The site also lambasted CNN for remaining "absolutely silent on this, and even ignored pleas from GLAAD, which has a strong history of working with organizations to help them teach tolerance and avoid situations like the one Roland Martin created."

Boarding an airplane creepily makes me think about Nazi Germany. TSA and the airlines line you up. They strip you of your personal dignity. They poke, prod, and scan both you and your belongings. Then in spite of everything they do to dehumanize and supposedly protect you, you may very well be settling into a death chamber rather than a means of transportation because all this activity actually does almost nothing to protect you.
It makes me angry both with the people who have caused this mass hysteria and the governmental agencies who are supposed to protect us.
In the process of "keeping us safe". The airlines have taken their already poor customer service and created an atmosphere completely devoid of customer service. Each paying passenger is treated like an enemy combatant. No wonder air travel is down.
With my previous airline experiences in mind you will understand my shock at the contrast in customer service I experienced on my recent cruise. I almost wonder if every cruise employee is a graduate of the Disney school of customer service. Each employee I encountered made eye contact, they smiled, and they spoke to me.
Yes, they spoke to each and every passenger. They greeted you every time your paths crossed. They made sure you knew they really wanted to make sure you have the best time ever. If there was any question you needed answered, something you needed help with, or anything they could do "for you" they did it.
Within a few minutes of boarding the ship I wanted to locate the on-ship internet cafe so I could purchase an internet package to use during the cruise. However, I couldn't figure out where it was or how to get there. I happened to encounter the hotel manager for the ship and he personally walked me to the internet cafe. Then he introduced me to the staff member there. Can you believe it?
I was almost speechless. Yet, this wasn't some isolated event. Time and time again I saw cruise employees go out of there way to do things for passengers to make certain there needs were met ASAP.
Most of the other passengers I met on the cruise were NOT first time cruisers. I met people who were on cruise number 45 cruise… cruise number 60. I met people who take a cruise 2 and 3 times a year.
Here's the point. When it comes to getting clients and keeping those clients the more personal you make their experience the easier and more successful the entire process. We all want to be treated like human beings. We all want someone to care about what we need. Plus finding someone who puts your needs ahead of their own is absolutely refreshing.
I know you do really care about your clients and the people you want to become clients. Just make certain you don't allow yourself to get too comfortable with routines and procedures to the point your relationships suffer. If you have employees make sure they truly demonstrate kindness and respect in EVERY client or potential client encounter.
If you've had an especially great example of a business making it personal for you please tell us about it below.

The AP reports, "Republican White House candidates pounded Iran Tuesday, with Rudolph Giuliani warning of a military strike to deprive it of a nuclear bomb, and a top rival lashing 'terror masters' in Tehran." Giuliani said, "If I am president of the United States, I guarantee you, we will never find out what they will do if they get nuclear weapons, because they are not going to get a nuclear weapon."
GOP candidates chest-thump on Iran rhetoric.

Jordan Carver Posing On a Table
Jordan Carver's webmaster has requested that I remove all photos of her
Jordan Carver's webmaster has requested that I remove all photos of her
Doesn't get much better!
Sorta reminds me of Lucy Pinder
A WAY less pretty Lucy Pinder with bigger (fake) boobs? Urm…I'm not seeing it.
Wow, shes gorgeous! I'm speechless. Tough to beat!
she can do no wrong. shes prettier than lucy p. to me.
steaming hot! now I understand her bunch of crazy supporters floating the blogs. model of 2010?
Sadly, they look fake. In shots where they are unsupported (like the last one), they are far too globular. Real breasts sag, especially ones of those size.
You know a glamor model that's real, cityman? Denise, Dana, Alice: guess they're all upgraded. Jordan looks perfect, good body and pretty face
wow, whos this chick? next milani? smoking
I don't even think she claims that they are natural, does she?
I love JC but her face isn't that great and she really benefits from her amazing make-up artist and photographer. Most web chicks never see this type of quality.
okay, she paid for this "fantasy body"… she's a fantasy woman. i'll never be sleeping with her, or even coming into physical contact with her; i just fantasize about her. therefore, i'm okay with store-boughts……… BUT if you're going to pay for them, show us what you got. i'm not sure what else there is to say about the topic.
Why is she always compared to Dana Hamm? Seems to be on quite a different level for me! The only chick that comes close to the young Denise Milani when she started
not good looking in the face at all. plain jane type. needs to always look away from camera, but it seems like she knows that. hot body YES. Fake tits, obviously.
What's that? 25 or 35lb psi in each tit?
Don't care if they are fake just tired of these types that don't want to show them.
She looks sweet, sultry and ambitious! Niklas should do an interview with her like he did one with Dana! Should ask her about her boobs and whether she plans to strip down.
Enough already. It's time for her to stop the coverup.
fuckit!this woman was made for sperm
The more I see of this model the more I believe that Denise has real tits. Jordan's are obviously fake, however, who friggin cares? They certainly serve their intended purpose, gents, don't they? She causes a stir among tit fanatics and she's laughing all the way to the bank about it. Nah, she'll uncover them ONLY after she can no longer sell website memberships while they are hidden. Even then, who knows, right? Say what you will, criticize if you must, analyze and over-analyze but don't prevent yourself from enjoying what she is: a perfect example of why slim-n-stacked babes will NEVER go outta style. Store-bought or otherwise, there isn't a man alive who wouldn't give a month's salary or more to enjoy a few moments with her (because, let's be honest, few would last more than that). That girl is the walking definition of "lust."
How many of you guys think Jordan's website sucks ? There is really no "Free Tour" and there is no list of updates at all. Right ?
Has anyone actually taken a chance and paid for a membership ? Is there any good video inside ?
She's improving with her site! Not that much silly costume-stuff anymore, but more and more steaming hot content. Gorgeous hi-res section! No nudity though. The first vids were crap, but they're also getting better and better. Imho Jordan blows away all other recently launched model-sites
I love this womans's BIG tits ….they are beautiful. More of her would be awesome . Have her wearing bikini panties and bras…with garters and nylons . Thank you
Fucking ada i spunked my fucking brains out over this chick, can't control my wanking hand which has gone into warp speed!!!!

"Mom needs some room," I tell the little guy.
So we pick up his buddy Keaton and head to Disneyland, a place dripping in happiness. On the way down, the two boys fall asleep, drooling on the leather seats in 2- and 3-foot swells (could've surfed it).
Repeat after me: Their joy is your joy.
Nonetheless, we have a spectacular time at D-Land, 10 hours of Euclidean lines and occasionally overpriced cuisine.
"I know some good restaurants here," the little guy says, and leads us to pizza of the highest rank.
The damage? By the time we're done, we've spent well over $300, including the $45 pizza dinner.
That's not admission, that's rent.
So, we live here now, residing in a corner of the Indiana Jones attraction that is closed for repairs.
Not very conventional — no schools, no pubs, constant parades. But it's really starting to feel like home.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 01.03.2011
- Construction Spending
- Total construction spending rose 0.4 percent in November on gains to both residential and nonresidential outlays, as well as total private and public spending. November marked the smallest of three consecutive advances, landing year-over-year growth in its best shape since April 2008, from −8.8 percent up to −6.0 percent. Total private construction managed a paltry 0.3 percent gain over the month, due to a 0.7 percent increase in residential spending, as nonresidential spending slipped down 0.1 percent on declines in manufacturing, communication, and office outlays. Private nonresidential spending continues to be the main setback in overall construction expansion. Private spending still falls below year-ago levels (−11.5 percent), but has improved from a trough of −23.8 percent in July 2009. Private residential has made the most progress on a year-over-year basis, with growth currently at −5.3 percent, compared to −16.5 percent for private nonresidential spending. Public outlays rose 0.7 percent in November, boosting 12-month growth to 4.2 percent. The gain in public spending was driven by office, educational, water supply, and conservation and development outlays.

We ordered the tombstones as yard decorations. The stakes did not insert well into the tombstones. Then, the stakes did not easily go into the ground. They looked ridiculous rather than the anticipated fun cemetary scene

Amazing! 50m ab down the Uhuru wall into the very impressive bottom of Wen Zawn. The P1 offwidth looked decidedly nasty. Thrutch, thrutch to a good body jam position from which I clipped an in situ nut (would have been easy enough to place my own). A couple more contortions led to a crazy bridging position. Couldn't quite reach an in situ friend deep in the crack but managed to get a decent cam 4 next to it. Then it was go, go, go for the layback! Paused for a bit half way up it but figured that ot was best to just carry on. Strenuous but ultimately short lived. Only about E1 from the end of the layback but felt hard. The airy traverse was easy but thought provoking. Phil made short work of P2, which was pushing 5c to get round the corner and equally exciting to second. P1 & 2 weren't enough so did the Golden Bough finish, which was steep and pumpy but well supplied with good holds (even if the largest jug looked like it was about to fall off) and gear (sorry, Phil, leader's prerogative to lace it!). Don't think it merits E4 but certainly hard E3. A superb, memorable route - hardly any easy ground and quality all the way. Took five hours - started P1 at 2pm, finished at 7pm.Misha - AltLd O/S - 28/Aug/11 with Phil
Wanted to lead P1 but thought better of it when I saw the difficulties placing the gear. Glad I didn't as it was very hard work getting up it, and getting the gear out was desparate. Came very close to getting it clean but ran out of gas inches from the good foothold on the layback. Lead P2 which was awesome and pretty stiff for 5b - would give it E2 5b/c on its own. Misha did the Golden Bough finish at E4 5c. Good holds all the way but v steep but with plenty of gear. Required lots of technical bridging. Ran out of gas again inches from top of steep section - gear removal had used a lot of energy. Impressive lead from Misha. philhilo - AltLd - 28/Aug/11 with misha

Dr. Davis' research has focused on the effects of social determinants on cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity among disproportionately affected sub-populations. Her lab is now engaged in an emerging field of human social genomics.� This research identifies the types of genes that are subject to social-environmental regulations, the neural and molecular mechanisms that mediate the effects of social processes on gene expression, and the genetic polymorphisms that moderate individual differences in genomic sensitivity to social context.
Dr. Davis' lab is also assessing the association of ancestry on sub-clinical cardiovascular risk factors among African-Americans and skin color as a phenotype associated with genetic ancestry and cardiovascular outcomes.� The group is measuring differential telomere length correlated to cardiovascular outcomes and social determinants on telomere length among African-Americans.
Dr. Davis' team, along with other investigators in the Cardiovascular Section, have implemented a research protocol with the objective of developing a community-based cohort and novel genomic science resource for defining the biological significance of ancestry-related genomic variation in African-Americans related to cardiovascular disease.� The study is designed to test the hypothesis that race-ancestry differences in the burden of cardiovascular disease in African-Americans reflects the influence of a unique interplay between the distinct genomic variations characteristic of African-Americans and the "exposome" of social determinants and environmental factors that influence the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.

Your a retard, what about the Scarab Lord title? Scarab Lord takes a HUGE amount of effort, weeks if not months of work and a huge amount of teamwork, and as does arenas, so why should the titles be removed when you transfer? I bet you cant do arena for shit and cant get a title anyway, so you just want to punish skilled people for getting a title

I'm still so hyped about seeing her yesterday omg. No one I know IRL (aside from the two friends that went with me) gives a shit so HI TUMBLR.
I love her.
And it totally makes me feel like a dirty old man.
"Whenever I see sweet rolls, boiled creme treats, or any type of sweet, I have to take it even if it means stealing. I don't eat them; I just hoard them. My whole house is filled with the things. What have I become?"

Setting up poses for some photos and suddenly see this little shit sprinting through the back yard
Caramel Corn, Buttered Popcorn, and baby Kettle Corn.
Childhood friends Caramel and Buttered grew up together, graduated in the same class, studied at the same university, and now live together, running their respective businesses (Caramel - interior designer. Buttered - pattern/textile designer.) side by side. Despite finding success as professionals, neither were having much luck finding a husband. With the help of modern science they decided to skip that step and raise a child as they've done everything else - together.
These are the inhabitants of my latest house~
I'll get better pics of them tomorrow. Good night!

Chapter 7
Damon looked down at Bella in the coffin and he placed a kiss to her forehead "I love you Bella, I will never let you go, I am holding on" he said softly, before he ran from the tomb, he could not watch as Stefan closed the coffin.
Bonnie and Elena looked at Stefan as he closed the coffin and the girls sighed softly, Elena looked back at the way Damon ran off in, she looked at Stefan sadly.
Stefan wrapped an arm around her softly and he rubbed it softly as they went back to the house. When they got there, they saw Damon was in the living room, he looked spaced out and broken as he stared into the empty space, his face then slowly contorted into anger, he finally snapped as he started to throw things around the room...breaking...smashing...kicking...anything to get his anger out, for not saving Bella, for losing her.
Elena winced and she ducked as she saw a vase flying in her way, Stefan caught the vase and he set it down and he went to his brother and he gripped him by his shoulders "Damon!"
"I can't let go....I need to hold on!" Damon yelled out, his voice breaking as he was shaking.
Elena looked at Damon sadly and she went and she hugged him softly "It's not wrong to hold on Damon, I am sure you have lovely memories to hold onto." she said as she rubbed his back softly. Damon kept on shaking in her arms and he broke down again.
"I should have saved her....I should have stopped her when she ran off." he said in between his heart-breaking sobs "This is all my fault."
Elena sighed "No it's not Damon, her death was an accident." she said as she touched his cheeks softly. But Damon was not listening, he pushed her out of the way as he ran back outside, faster than the wind, he found him self by the hide out, he had no idea how he found it.
He looked at the open window and he leaped into it, finding him self inside the room that belonged to Bella. The scent overwhelmed Damon, it was fresh and warm, he looked around the small room that suited Bella's tastes and needs. He walked over to the closet and he opened it up, to see some clothes, he buried his face in one of her dresses as he breathed in the fresh scent, she still smelled the same after so many years, he let the tears ran down his cheeks as he held the dress to him, he felt the floorboard creek slightly as some words that Bella said to him over the years flew through his head in agony:
'Didn't anyone tell you, it's rude to stare?'
'Catch me if you can Damon......I like spending my time with you'
'I love you Damon'
'Always and forever............................Yes'
'Don't Damon.......I don't love you Damon, Move on and forget about me'He sighed as the tears slid down his cheeks and he started at the ceiling and he closed his eyes tightly.He looked down at the floor board, it seemed to be either broken or Bella had a secret hiding place, he lifted up the board to find a diary hidden under it, he picked it up before he set the floor board down.
He was about to open the diary, when he heard the door opening so he quickly jumped from the window running off, the diary and dress in his hands, before anyone noticed him, he was back home.
Elena looked up from the couch,seeing Damon was back, but she did not say anything. She just sighed softly, she hated to see him upset like this, it was too painful for her too.
Damon ignored Elena's look as he went to his room and he set the dress down on the table softly, he sat down and he looked at the diary, he opened it up, on the front two pages were 2 sketches, one of them was of the locket that Damon gave to Bella, on the other one, a sketch of them together. Bella was a gifted Artist back in the day and she had not lost those skills as the years went by.
He then flipped to a 2 Dairy Entries:
Dear Dairy,
the memories are so strong, they have a hold on me that never passes away. The locket I have around my neck and memories are the only thing I have left, the only thing that keeps me close to Damon in my heart. How does one forget, a life time of memories and joy? The pain of being parted and away from him, grows stronger each day. What I would just give to be in his arms once again, to see and talk to him. To let him know, I am holding on and never letting go. But I know, I have to protect him from harms way, even if it kills me in the process. Death seemed like an easy choice back then, when I was human, maybe it still seems like a easy choice now, but the past and memories keep me holding on, hoping that one day I might be able to lay my eyes on the man I loved, once again. What I would give to be with Damon again....my life...everything that ever meant something to me. It would all be worth it, if I was with him again. But would Damon want me back, if he knew I was still alive and a Vampire? I still remember how we talked about having a family and growing old together, I knew he would not want me to be a Vampire, the burden...the agony...but that choice was taken from me, like it was from him.
Dear Diary,
I do not know if I can do this, becoming human again? I did what I was asked.....well sort of. I fooled Katherine and Klaus into thinking I killed Elena, in exchange for the cure. So I could be with Damon again and try to lead a normal life, like we always wanted. But what I said to him...I knew it broke him inside, just like it broke me when I told it to him, in order to keep him from going after me, trying to save me. I know that if he did go after me, he would have ended up hurt...maybe even killed. Something I could not even bare to think about, let alone see. I wish and hope that one day, Damon will be able to understand, why I did what I did.
He stared at the last entrance, before her death "I do understand Bella, I forgive you." she said to the diary, as if it was Bella her self.He closed his eyes and he leaned his head back "I need you by my side." he said to him self, it was true. He did need her, her death felt so surreal, but he knew it happened. He saw her dead body, her fragile....human body. That image would haunt him for the rest of his Vampire Immortality.
I cried when writing the chapter 6 part 2 and this chappie :(
Yeah, but it does not make him feel any less guilty for not saving her life, or stopping her :(
Chapter 8 (Part 1)
The bright aura surrounded Damon, in a welcoming light and orange glow, it was bright and welcoming. For some reason, he didn't feel scared, He just walked towards the light, trying to embrace it, not literally. "Damon" a soft voice filled the air.
"Be...Bella?" Damon chocked back on the tears, that were forming in his eyes. He looked around, to see Bella in a pure white, elegant dress that fell down to the floor. "Am...I?"
She shook her head, as she softly walked over to him, she placed her hands on his cheeks "You're not dead, Damon." she said softly, looking into his eyes "It's not your time." she kissed his forehead softly
"But I need to be with you." He sobbed out, as he gripped her arms softly "I need you Bella. I love you." he said, his eyes digging into hers, with sadness, need and want. With love and desire...with passion.
Bella closed her eyes, as she pressed her forehead to his "I love you too Damon...I always have." she said looking into his eyes "I am so sorry, for everything" she whispered softly, pressing her lips to his in a tender kiss.
Just as hew as about to kiss her back. Damon woke up in a pool of sweat, he sighed as he ran a hand through his hair, it was all just a dream. He staggered to the bathroom and he splashed his face with cold water, trying to calm him self down, he felt a presence in the room and he looked around, but he saw no one.
But it was like someone was touching his shoulder, in a tender touch, he looked up to see Bella's reflection in the mirror. He set his hand to his shoulder, touching her hand, but when he looked back to see if it was really Bella...Elena stood in her place, with a worried look on her face.
"Damon, are you okay?" she said, worried.
He looked at her, as he dropped his hand from top of hers "Do, I look okay?" was all he said, before he walked past her out of the bathroom and downstairs, he heard a knock on the door and he frowned, he walked to the door and he opened it up, to see Rebekah with Elijah there.
"What?!" He said, in a rather rude, monotone accent, as he stared at them, his eyes turned darker, from his pain and anger, that was rushing through him.
Elijah sighed "We came here to see you." he said, his voice rather pleasant "You're not the only who misses..."
Damon cut him off "Don't....just don't." he said shaking his head at Elijah, he could not bare to hear Elijah talking to him about Bella, it pained him too much.
Rebekah sighed "She was our friend too Damon, we miss her as well." she said and she looked at him, tears shining in her eyes. She heard about Bella's death, and it made her up, as Bella was her friend. She just wished, there was something...anything she could have done, in order to save her. But it was too late.
Damon just looked down and he blinked back the tears, he then looked around the room he stood in, he then saw a stake at the table and he ran towards it and tried to grab the stake, to thrust it into his heart, but Elena screamed out: "No, Damon don't!"
Elijah was at his side and he grabbed the stake from his grip with Rebekah and Stefan held Damon back, who was now kicking and screaming out for the stake. "Damon, no." Elena breathed out and she looked at him sadly "Death is not the answer." she told him, in a soft, soothing voice.
Damon was shaking, he then sobbed out "I can't...do this. I can't live, when Bella's gone." he said "It should have been me, she didn't deserve to die, she had to live." he dropped to his knees, as he cried once again. His whole body trembling.
Stefan and Elena hugged Damon, while Elena rubbed his arm softly and she sighed "Damon, don't say that. You deserve to live, as much as anyone else does." she said "Bella, would you want you to live, and not live in vain, Damon." she said "It's not your time." she told him rubbing his back.
Stefan sighed "Elena, is right." he said softly "I know you miss Bella, but death is not the answer Damon." he said
Rebekah sighed softly, looking at Damon. She felt sorry for him, his heart break was too much for him, she could tell that by the way he was acting right now. "You're not alone in this, Damon" she said softly, Elijah just gave a soft nod, to what Rebekah said and he sighed softly as he hid the stake somewhere in the house away from Damon's, knowledge.
Damon cried....his tears died down after a few hours, but he then was silent, as a deadly snake. Just lurking for his pray, his face looked sunken in more, and his eyes were dark...he was in danger mode. He let out a hiss as he stormed out of the house and he broke into a ran, until he found Katherine and Klaus, hunting in the woods,. he tackled Klaus to the floor and he started to punch him, in the face. left...center...right.
Katherine stood there in shock, at what Damon was doing, before she had finally managed to grab him and she threw him back "What is with you?" she hissed.
Klaus spat at the floor and he smirked "It seems, that our Damon Salvatore, has got him self, a little bit of an issue." he said, smirking at him.
Damon growled out "You are that Issue! You are the one's who turned Bella against me, when you took her from me...when you changed her, into a cold blooded monster, like your self. Now she is dead...because of you...all because of you!" he screamed at the top of his voice.
Klaus and Katherine looked at him stunned "I am sorry what?" Klaus said, in disbelief "She can't be dead, we gave her the cure...we let her go free." he said
Damon looked at him angrily, his nostrils flaring with anger and hatred "She's gone, I held her dead body." he hissed "If you don't believe me, go look in the cemetery, she's in a coffin." he said trembling, he then caught a scent of a human and he ran off, to go hunting, with no mercy or care. he drained the human of blood. He didn't even think, twice about going back for Katherine and Klaus and killing them, as he wanted them to suffer for, what they have done.
As weeks passed, Damon grew worse and worse, when it came to Human blood. He was like Stefan...he was a new Ripper. But older, faster, stronger, more cruel, more menacing then Stefan was, and it seemed to worry everyone, as he seemed to be unstoppable.
But around his friends and family, he did seem to have a good side, but it was dying out, like a dwindling fire. It was around 3 weeks later, that Damon didn't come home, the usual time. He came in rather late, his clothes torn, his hands covered in blood, his eyes dark and deluded, just like his soul.
Stefan looked at him and he sighed "Damon" he said softly.
"What?" Damon hissed, as he grabbed an empty glass and he poured some blood into it, and he started to drink it. He forget it was his birthday tomorrow. But it's not like he even cared, or would want to celebrate.
"It's your Birthday tomorrow." Stefan softly as he got up walking over to him "You need to socialize, with the people that care about you....come on Elena and Bonnie set it all up with Rebekah,Caroline, Tyler and Elijah." he said, and he sighed softly, as Damon just shook his head before trying to walk off, Stefan stopped him "Damon! We all care about you, we want to help you, but we can't, if you won't let us." he said
"And what makes you think? I need Help?" Damon uttered, as he gave a dark, cold look to Stefan.
Stefan just sighed "Because, I been in this position before, I was the ripper! I know how it feels, and you helped me get through it...now let us help you...first step, is tomorrow. being with the people that care about you." he said "If not for me, for Elena. It was all her idea in the first place."
Damon sighed, defeated after a few moments "Fine! For Elena." he said, before he went to his room and he laid back, on the silk sheets.
Next day:
Damon got ready for his all so dreaded birthday Party and he tried to put on a smile, but it didn't seem too believable, but no one pressed him about it. He looked around, Mystic Grill to see all his friends there, but Bonnie was the only one, who was not there yet.
He wondered, what was keeping the Bennett witch back. He walked over to the table and he grabbed him self a drink. Caroline walked over to him, with a small smile, but it was an apologetic smile. "How are you Damon?" she said softly.
He shrugged as he sipped his vodka "Not, in the mood to talk about it." was his reply. Caroline gave him a nod, as a way of telling him, she understood his heartbreak and his desire for blood, was a bad combination, and not something he would want to discuss.
He tried to mingle here and there, and not cause a scene. Bonnie walked in through the door, around 3 hours later "Sorry, I am late." she said softly, to everyone who looked at her, wondering where she was.
She then walked to Damon, looking at him,m serious look on her face "I have someone, here who wants to see you."
Sorry, that it's torture for you :) aww bless (give you a tissue) I can't promise, I won't do it again.
Poor Damon! I wonder who Bonnie brought with her?
Yeah, he is not in a good shape :( you will have to wait and see
It was the day of Damon's, Birthday Party, but Bonnie was missing. Well she was not missing, she was just paying her respects at Bella's coffin, but when she got there, she found Klaus was there. A deep frown came over her face "Klaus...what are you doing here?" she hissed.
Klaus looked at her "What? I can't come here and pay my respects?" he hissed at her, it was clear he was annoyed by her presence there.
"Why would you?" she said looking at him. "Damon was the one who lost the love of his life...not you." she said, her eyes glowing in the shadows of the cemetery tomb.
Klaus sighed, he seemed to look hurt. "I loved here too." he said, before he left, leaving Bonnie staring after him in shock. But she snapped out of her shock, when she could hear a soft thumping.
She looked around "Hello?" she said, her breath was icy cold, she wondered who was here. But the thudding was louder.
She looked around and she looked at Bella's coffin, it seemed to be coming from there. She walked over to it and she tried to open it, it would not budge. She frowned and she pushed harder until she popped it open, when she did,. Bella was chocking and gasping for breath..."Da....Damon." she gasped out.
Bonnie stared at Bella in shock, she helped her sit up to help her breathe more "It's me, Bonnie." she said softly, rubbing Bella's arm softly, she examined Bella carefully, the girl was human. She could not understand how Bella, could be back from the dead..Damon's blood? Bonnie asked her self? Nah..Vampire blood, would have healed her more faster. Bonnie noticed the necklace glowing around Bella's neck. "Who gave you that necklace?" she asked curious.
Bella gasped softly, for breath, her breathing shaky "Damon gave it to me." she said as Bonnie helped her from the coffin, Bella was weak and she fell to the floor, but Bonnie caught her.
Bonnie looked at her, she could tell that the necklace held more magic within in, that any of them knew. It brought Bella back from the dead. She saw Bella was weak "Maybe I should heal you." she told Bella.
Bella shakes her head "No...take me to Damon...please...I need to see Damon." she said looking at Bonnie "Please." she chocked out a sob "I need him. I miss him."
Bonnie felt sorry for Bella and Damon...many years of trying to find each other, getting torn apart all the time...She nodded "Alright, let's get you to Damon, but maybe we should get you changed into something? Don't you think?" she said looking down at her torn and dried clothes that were once dirty.
Bella gave a nod and Bonnie helped her outside into the fresh air. she took her back home and she found her some clean clothes, Bella took a shower to make her self feel bit better, after she dried off, she got changed into the nice dress Bonnie picked out and Bonnie done up her hair nicely, she smiled softly "You sure, you don't want me to heal you?" she asked.
Bella just gave a nod, she was more concerned about Damon. Bonnie sighed softly and she then walked with her to Mystic Grill, she made sure Bella was in the crowd behind her, so Damon could not see her right away, as it was supposed to be a surprise. She looked at Damon, with a serious face "I have someone here, that wants to talk to you."
Damon looked at her confused for a moment or two "Bonnie.." he tried to speak, saying that he was not in the mood for some jokes, but Bonnie stepped aside revealing Bella, Damon stopped in mid sentence as he stared at Bella, his knees got weak as he stumbled towards her "Bella?" he touched her cheeks softly and he breathed her scent, to make sure she was real and that he was not dreaming.
Bella closed her eyes at his touch and she leaned against him "Damon!" she wrapped her arms around him weakly and held onto him. She breathed in his scent, not caring that everyone was just watching them in shock, to see her back from the dead.
"How are you here?" Damon said, tears shining in his eyes, his fingers trailed down her neck softly, as her veins pulsed under his soft touch, until they touched the necklace she had around her neck...then it hit him. The necklace. He leaned down pressing his lips to hers, the kiss full of passion. need and urgency, yet tenderness. As Damon pulled Bella against him softly, she tangled her fingers in his hair.
Bella felt home, and safe as she was in his arms. The kiss sent sparks down her body, reminding her, that Damon was her one and only and that she really was alive and in his arms, where she belonged. Damon deepened the kiss, his lips parting against hers, as his hands traveled up into her brown, soft hair. But then he felt Bella pulling away, he felt her weakness and he caught her before her knees buckled beneath her. He noticed how pale she looked.
Bonnie looked at Damon "She would not let me heal her." she said
Damon just nodded at Bonnie "Thank you for, taking her back her back to me." he said and he then bit into his wrist "Bella, you need this...please drink. it will heal you." he said holding his wrist out to her.
Bella gripped onto his arm softly before she pressed her lips to his wrist as she started to drink his blood, the red liquid ran down her throat, soothing her and bringing her back her strength and color, slowly. He held her close as she drank his blood and he kissed her forehead softly, closing his eyes "I love you, Bella." he whispered softly.
"I love you too Damon." Bella whispered softly, when she pulled back from his wrist, which started to heal as soon as her lips parted. Damon wiped the blood from her lips softly before he kissed her again softly.
