Dear Ms. Vicki,
I'm a 20-year-old college student. My father is deployed to Afghanistan. Over the holidays, I walked into our house and found my mother in the arms of another man with her lips locked on his.
You would think my mother and this man would have been in shock and would try to get themselves together. Instead, they acted very normal as if they had every right to continue their actions.
Now, my mother didn't act like I was intruding, she just acted like this man was my dad or her husband. It was the worst day of my life.
My mother is telling me this is none of my business because it's her home and not mine. She said that I'm a visitor from college, that she's the mother and I'm the child, and that I can't tell her what to do.
How in the "H" can she say it's none of my business? It is my business because she is my mother and married to my father who is deployed. I'm supposed to just let her carry on an affair with another man?
I have a teenage sister and brother who still live at home. I'm afraid to ask them if they know anything about this affair. The day I discovered my mom was cheating on my dad, they were both spending the night with friends.
Should I demand answers from my mother? Should I tell her to stop cheating on my dad? What about this man, should I confront him? I know where he lives and what unit he is in. Do you think I should ask my brother and sister if they know anything?
Ms. Vicki, I can't concentrate at all this semester because this has me stressed out. Every time I talk to my dad, I feel like I'm lying to him and keeping something from him that he should know. I would really appreciate it if you would write me back and give me some answers.
College Overload
Dear Overload,
My heart really goes out to you. I regret that you walked into your home and found your mother in the arms of another man. It's something that no child deserves to find out.
I know this is a very difficult time for you. There is a myth that says older children are not affected by deployments, but this is not true. Older children can have a difficult time coping with a deployed parent. Your feelings are normal.
It's also normal for you to have so many questions. However, you have to understand that you may never get all of the answers you want from your mother. Your mother is wrong for what she is doing, but in her defense she doesn't have to give you any answers.
At any rate, no matter what answers she gives you, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy you anyway. This situation is definitely not fair to your father. It's not fair to you or your siblings. But you absolutely can't mention this to your father.
Something like this would devastate him. I mean, I think he has a right to know, but you can't throw this on him right now. He has to be on his best game at all times for his protection and for everyone around him, so don't mention it to him.
I don't think you should question your siblings either. I just don't think you should pull them into something like this. Perhaps if your maternal grandparents are close to your mother or if you have a close maternal aunt or uncle who could speak to your mother, then I would confide it them for help and support.
However, if they are not close with your mother, then it won't do any good to solicit their help. I'm not saying that you should have to carry this burden of knowledge alone, but I think you have to say there is nothing you can do about your mother's decision at this time.
Most colleges have counseling support available for students. I think you should visit them and talk about the stress of this semester and that you recently discovered your mother is having an affair. This may help you put some things in perspective and decrease any feelings of responsibility and guilt that you may have. I wish you all the best and please stay in touch during your semester to let me know how you are doing.
Ms. Vicki

It's true. We don't think Michael Vick would make a good doggie parent. The NFL superstar recently claimed on Piers Morgan Tonight that he's interested in getting a dog. Call us crazy, but we don't think it's a good idea. Far from it.
Despite spending 19 months in prison for running an illegal interstate dog fighting business, Vick hasn't expressed a shred of empathy toward the dogs he brutalized and killed. And rather than talk about the horrors of dog fighting, he has consistently chosen to focus on the consequences of getting caught.
In a nutshell, his actions are self-serving. We've seen little remorse and even less compassion. And let's not forget, he caused unspeakable suffering to hundreds of innocent dogs. Frankly, the ASPCA has serious concerns about Vick's ability to be a responsible pet parent.
Don't you?

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - John Fogerty performed with the Foo Fighters and Jennifer Hudson. R. Kelly debuted a tribal new song in tribute to Nelson Mandela. And Nashville native Miley Cyrus basically called the audience old.
Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy gala drew stars who are set to shine at today's Grammy Awards and featured performances from musical dynamos like Lionel Richie and newcomers such as Lorde and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
Neil Diamond, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Metallica, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Rod Stewart were among the A-listers who attended the Beverly Hilton for the four-hour event.
Cyrus opened her set with the upbeat "Get It Right," which didn't earn a rousing applause.
"I hope y'all feel better than y'all look," said Cyrus, sporting a mini dress under her fluffy coat.

Added Robert Woods 2012 Season Highlights
"It happens all the time," Taylor said. "It's not an exact science and personnel guys aren't the end-all, be-all. " Jason Taylor,2011
107. Jordan Hill DT Penn State 6'2" 294
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...48/jordan-hillStrengths:Good lateral agility with quick feet to sidestep blockers and knife through the offensive line. Flexible body type to make smooth movements and a quick first step when he correctly times up his get-off. Plays low with natural leverage. Ordinary upper body strength but active and strong hands and wrists.
Keeps eyes elevated at the line of scrimmage to get his hands on passes (even snatched an interception against Virginia in 2012). Good raw power for his smaller frame and plays with a feisty temperament. Goes hard on every play and can be a pesky player to block with his nonstop motor and effort. Was spark plug of Penn State defensive line and rarely left the field. Plays smart. Rangy to make plays outside the numbers.
Weaknesses: Light in the pants and can be driven wherever the blockers want at times. Shorter stature with limited length and short arms, lacking ideal NFL measurables. Lacks elite upper-body strength to overwhelm offensive linemen. Needs to improve snap anticipation. Dangerous in space and in 1-on-1 situations but not as effective in a crowd, where he can get lost or pushed around. Missed some time in 2012 with a left knee sprain, playing rest of the season with a clunky brace.
Compares To: Trevor Laws, DT, St. Louis Rams - Quick, undersized interior players who project best as rotational and depth players than long-term starters.

108. Jamie Collins OLB Southern Mississippi 6'4" 239
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p.../jamie-collinsSTRENGTHS: Muscular, athletic-looking frame with powerful hands and long arms. Accelerates well in a straight line, and exhibits good flexibility, both coming off the edge as a rusher, as well as when changing direction in space. Displays a knack for getting to the quarterback off the edge, with impressive natural power on contact, and ability to disengage when he uses his hands effectively. Flashes a strong, sudden closing burst in space. Appears natural and comfortable in his lower half when asked to drop into zone coverage. When he gets his arms extended at the point of attack, can really manhandle his blocker. Doesn't possess a ton of short-area burst when breaking down to make tackles in space, but uses length nicely to compensate. WEAKNESSES: Motor appears to waffle at times. Explosiveness and fluidity appear to be there for brief moments, but other times he looks heavy-footed and sloppy in space. First step isn't elite. Is much more athletic than instinctive at this point. Isn't a high-intensity, fly-to-the-football defender, despite possessing some dynamic physical tools that indicate he's capable of covering more ground. Tends to tackle with his shoulder too frequently rather than wrapping up, and will take on blockers with his chest or shoulders far too often. Will reduce speed and exhibits loose legs when flipping his hips from a backpedal in man-coverage. Awareness in zone coverage waivers, as he tends to freeze in space and lose track of what's going on behind him.
COMPARES TO: K.J. Wright, OLB, Seattle Seahawks - Like Wright, Collins possesses a unique combination of speed, fluidity and flexibility for his size. However, when Wright came out of Mississippi State, he displayed better all-around instincts and motor than what we've seen out of Collins, who is probably the more gifted athlete. Right now, Collins looks like a developmental project with starting-caliber potential if the fundamentals and instincts can improve.
Jamie Collins will be a stud. Book it.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett
Apparently Zach Ertz has unusually short arms ... if anyone cares about such things.
109. Nico Johnson ILB Alabama 6'2" 249
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...9/nico-johnsonStrengths: Physically imposing defender with good overall musculature and weight distribution. Has a thick lower body which aids in his anchoring against blockers. Seems to enjoy the physical nature of the game, aggressively taking on and shedding blockers at the point of attack. Appears most comfortable inside, showing the ability to make subtle side-steps to slip into gaps and meet backs at the line. Forceful hitter whose core strength is obvious as he grabs, twists and pulls ball-carriers to the ground. Gives a strong jolt to potential pass-catchers to knock them off of their routes and shows some initial flexibility and quickness to run with them. Hasn't missed a game over his career due to injury.
Weaknesses: Isn't the intimidating striker that his physicality might lead you to believe. Doesn't often leave his feet and explode through his hips as a hitter to knock ball-carriers to the ground. Instead, he latches on and 'rassles them in a manner that may not appear as aesthetically pleasing but gets the job done, nonetheless... Doesn't play as fast as might appear in workouts. Limited awareness as a pass defender. Does not possess ideal speed or fluidity to handle coverage responsibilities for long... Relies on watching the quarterback's eyes to gain an edge. Wasn't asked to rush the passer often while at Alabama and shows limited technique in this role. Relies mostly on a simple bull-rush, which is marginally effective.
Compares To: Bart Scott, ILB, New York Jets
110. Logan Ryan CB Rutgers 6'0" 190
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...604/logan-ryanStrengths: Enough size and strength for the position with good length. Strong man cover skills and works hard to gain body position and make a play on the ball. Athletic feet and flexible ankles to stick with receivers' hip pocket. Smooth hip movements with the footwork needed for the position. Strikes through the ballcarrier and closes in a flash with good make-up quickness to recover. Gets physical at the line of scrimmage, doing a nice job peeking into the backfield to make plays in run support. Good timing and leaping ability to highpoint and get his hands on the ball. Strong competitor to bait throws and plays the position with supreme confidence. Smart with experience in zone and man coverage. Makes impact plays on special teams coverage. Productive with 38 passes defended the past two seasons, including seven interceptions.
Weaknesses: Lacks elite top-end speed for the position and can be beat vertically. Will play overaggressive in the open field tackle and needs to be more consistent breaking down on the move. Needs to use better eye discipline and can be susceptible on fakes and double-moves. Will allow bigger receivers to push him around. His hands-on approach and physical nature in coverage will get him in trouble at the next level.
111. Malliciah Goodman DE Clemson 6'4" 272
Strengths: Broad shoulders and passes the eye test with uncanny arm length (36") and large hands (11"). Good first step and attacks with a fiery attitude, sometimes appearing to be the meanest guy in the stadium. Assignment sound and holds contain, setting the edge and using his eyes to quickly react. Nice job using his limbs to extend and make initial contact, working off blocks. Strong hands and length to strip and rip with a knack for forcing fumbles (eight career FFs). Physical run stopper and lined up mostly at 5-technique end spot at Clemson. Works hard to get underneath blockers and work around the arc to the pocket.
Weaknesses: Streaky snap anticipation and is late off the ball, routinely the last lineman to move. Needs to stay balanced through contact, spending too much time on the ground. Needs to develop more versatility with his pass rush moves, appearing to use the same motion on each snap. Tends to out-run the pocket and struggles to turn the corner.
Needs to use his arms and hands more aggressively when locked up. Looks tight when quickly changing directions. Spent too much time on the sidelines and had a "wow" bowl game, which prompts the question where was this intensity the rest of the season?
112. J.J. Wilcox SS Georgia Southern 5'11" 214
Strengths: Athletic frame with a thick lower half. Stands out at this level due to his athleticism and proved he deserved to be on the same field with the top prospects in Mobile. Good lateral agility. Surprisingly adept as an open field tackler. Attacks the line of scrimmage when he reads run but while fast to the action, breaks down pretty well, showing enough balance, patience and strength for the effective stop... Showed some instincts and range operating as a single-high safety during Senior Bowl drills. Good leaping ability and body control. Timed his leaps well and has good hand-eye coordination, perhaps due to time on offense. Obvious upside.
Weaknesses: Questionable straight-line speed. Looks like a one-speed player who glides with normal acceleration rather than showing the suddenness to run with NFL wideouts. A work in progress regarding his technique, though in all fairness, this is to be expected... Tends to bend at the waist rather than the knees. Attacks the line of scrimmage as a run defender, slipping by most blocks but too often is tied up when he they do get to him. Tools worthy of developing but isn't ready for prime time yet.
Compares To: Atari Bigby, SS, San Diego Chargers

|I actually saw the elusive thunderbird photograph! I, like most, surmised that since it was published in a national magazine it would not be difficult to locate. WRONG! My long-term memory is somewhat faulty but I have two tidbits which may assist thunderbird photo seekers. The comic book I purchased was either an X-Men #30 or #31 published by Marvel Comics. That provides a viable time frame. I seem to recall that the photo was in a western type publication with the words Gold Rush somewhere on cover. That is all I can remember. Thunderbird was nailed to side of structure (barn?) with several individuals standing around. Hope that is enough information to help someone locate the blasted thing! Oh, it was a pterodactyl. Some know-it-all remembers it being a big bird. NOPE! The thing was a pterodactyl. Authentic? Who knows? Who really cares? Those who viewed it just want it to surface one more time. Every purchase is appreciated and needed! Please keep watching!

Pronounced: SITE-ah-rah-been
Classification: Antimetabolite
Cytarabine kills cells undergoing DNA synthesis. Although the mechanism of action is not clearly understood, it appears to act through inhibition of DNA polymerase (an important enzyme in DNA synthesis). Because cells cannot copy their DNA, they cannot properly divide, and thus die.
Cytarabine is given through intravenous (into a vein) infusion or subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration. It can be given alone or with other drugs.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Cytarabine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Your fingernails/toenails may become dark, brittle or fall off. You may notice dry skin or changes in the color or tone of your skin. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, which can result in severe sunburn or rash. Sun sensitivity can last even after chemotherapy is completed. Avoid the sun between 10-2pm, when it is strongest. Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday; wear sunglasses and long sleeves/pants to protect your skin. Keep your fingernails and toenails clean and dry. You may use nail polish, but do not wear fake nails. Notify your doctor or nurse if any nails fall off. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
HFS is a skin reaction that appears on the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet as a result of certain chemotherapy agents. It can start as a feeling of tingling or numbness in the palms and/or soles and progress to swelling, redness, peeling skin, and tenderness or pain. Notify your healthcare team right away if you notice any of these signs of HFS. Learn more about HFS on OncoLink.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Your doctor may order some blood tests to check your liver function. Call your doctor or nurse immediately if you have abdominal pain, if you pass dark urine, or if your skin or the white of your eyes become jaundiced (yellow in color).
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness – read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the drug. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the drug is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to change the doses of your medication. See OncoLink's section on peripheral neuropathy for tips on dealing with this side effect.
You may experience a metallic taste or dislike foods or beverages that you liked before receiving chemotherapy. These symptoms can last up to several months. Avoid any food that you think smells or tastes bad. If red meat is a problem, eat chicken, turkey, eggs, dairy products and fish without a strong smell. Flavor meat or fish by marinating it in sweet juices, sweet and sour sauce or dressings. Use seasonings like basil, oregano or rosemary. Bacon, ham and onion can add flavor to vegetables. Ask your nurse nutritional counseling services.

Gallery: NO MAN'S LAND: Innovative Watertecture in the Dead Sea
In the Dead Sea region, control of water is a source of political friction and presents an ecological quandary that threatens the drinking supply for inhabitants. A research project from New York-based architect Phu Hoang Office seeks to address and solve these site specific issues with 'No Man's Land', a series of artificial islands that would provide recreation, tourist attractions, renewable energy, and create fresh water.
The project was shortlisted in the Architectural Association's Environmental Tectonics 2007 competition for its innovative approach to a complex issue. Showing how architecture can be part of multi-disciplinary solutions, 'No Man's Land' tackles the environmental, political and humanitarian problems related to the procurement of fresh water for the region.
As a network of built islands with three distinct designs, 'No Man's Land' would create an artificial archipaelago that employs a variety of building technology. In order to become a source of fresh water, the islands will extract water molecules from the air to be desalinated. Salinity gradient solar ponds, water purification tanks, and water filtering processes will all be integrated into the designated "water islands" of the chain. The other two island designs will be for tourists and solar energy production, providing self sufficient power as well as creating revenue.

…well, let's just wait for its development. for this moment, everything is possible with technology., though it is really doubtful and unbelievable to extract fresh water from that kind of source/ area…just let them prove it could be…come what may. all i can say is…go on…goodluck and go bless!
June 17, 2008 at 5:28 pm
This idea is absolutely crazy.
First of all, one of the problems with the Dead Sea is that it is drying out. When driving past there you can literarily see lines of salt on the cliff-face left by falling water levels and islands of salt in the middle of the body of water. A few short decades ago there was enough water in the Dead Sea that you wouldn't see either of these.
Also the water is so salty that the slightest splash of water in your eye or mouth can necessitate a trip to the emergency room. How in the world do you propose to engage in large scale construction projects or even transporting people to these artificial islands? This is a solution in need of a problem.
While I applaud the effort to provide more drinking water to the inhabitants of the region to try and desalinate the saltiest water in the world and ship it out will destroy the Dead Sea making the plan a very short-term solution to the drinking water problem. This idea could severly damage a wonder of the world that is not only unique but depended upon by many for its medicinal properties used to treat many skin diseases and other conditions.
If you really want to come up with something clever for the Dead Sea find a way to replenish the minerals that are being used up in cosmetic products and add water to the Dead Sea now that there is no longer anything flowing into it.

Jewelry designer Maria Ana Moura may be based out of Brooklyn, but she's always been something of a world wanderer. Between her now-New York address, an itinerant upbringing, and an early adulthood split between several countries in the European Union, Moura's definitely the kind of girl that gets gold status at American Airlines. Of course, frequent flier miles aren't the only treasures in this traveler's trove. Nope, with her jewelry line Mamazoo, the globetrotter translates all the foreign trappings from her life spent afield into standout, street-chic accessories.
The result? We see this world view (literally) animating her latest lookbook: New York meets international. From frame to frame, a model flits between unfamiliar backdrops to city settings, all the while sporting a range of jewels, from regalia-inspired feather collars to chunky cloth chokers. At the end of this well-traveled flip-book, not only do we feel like booking a flight, we also feel like shopping. How's that for jet set?

Yet, his talents did not take him as far as his aforementioned teammates and apart from a short stint in France with Dijon and one season in Cyprus, Beso has played all of his pro ball in Georgia. His sharpshooting, consistently between 38% and 40% from the arc in recent years, won him a spot back with the golden generation again, this time with the senior team. Last summer he wore the national team jersey one more time, and despite a limited role in 2012 he is back in the race for what could be his debut EuroBasket performance.

Palin paid $15.85 per word at Fox: Study
Sarah Palin was paid $15.85 per word as a contributor to Fox News, according to a new study from Smart Politics, a project by the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
The former Alaska governor signed a three-year contract and was paid a reported $1 million per year, during which she spoke 189,221 words in 151 appearances, for a total of $15.85 per word.
(PHOTOS: Sarah Palin's political career)
Humphrey's Eric Ostermeir notes that Palin "appeared on the network in studio, by satellite, by telephone, or in a pre-taped interview an average of once every 7.2 days during this three-year period..." but could go weeks without making an appearance.
Palin used "Amen" 111 times and "God" 57 times, according to the study. She said "heck" 28 times, "darn" nine times, "hell" seven times, and "damn" twice.

A woman and her three young children were flown to hospitals Monday morning after a single-vehicle crash in White Plains.
At 9 a.m. June 10, the Charles County Sheriff's Office went to the 9500 block of Billingsley Road after someone reported a car accident.
A woman was driving east on Billingsley Road when, for unknown reasons, she lost control of her car and struck a tree, according to information from the sheriff's office.
The driver and her three small children, including a 2-month-old infant girl, a 4-year-old boy and a 6-year-old boy were flown to area hospitals.
The driver was flown to Washington Hospital Center, and the children were flown to Children's National Medical Center, both in Washington, D.C.
Chrystal Dorsey, a cousin of the boys' father, said Tuesday afternoon that the 6-year-old and infant remain in critical condition but are making progress. The 4-year-old is in critical condition and on life support, she said. The driver's injuries are not life-threatening.
The children attend New Life Wesleyan Church in La Plata and the family has strong ties to the community, Dorsey said.
Donations for the family are being accepted at www.gofundme.com/38hh2o.
The scene of Monday's accident was that of at least two previous traffic fatalities.
Noel Patrick Reynolds, 16, of White Plains was killed Oct. 27, 2007, and Thomas Edward Kurtz, 18, of Waldorf was killed at the same location in 1992. Crosses hang on the tree the vehicles hit, in remembrance of the young men.

What Did Our Customers Say?
Postage was fast. Jacket and pant sleeves look great! Several 'food/dirt stains' found all over white parts of my outfit when I opened it up? hopefully that will wash out...? Would recommend buying your own black shorts and putting velcro on them because supplied shorts are uncomfortable. Would recommend buying your own black gloves as well. Would definitely recommend to Miccostumes costume designers that a zipper should be included so the torso part can actually fit because I can't get it past my head or hips. Haven't yet tried on the whole outfit because certain parts need to be altered.
I absolutely love this! I got this bag in about 8 days. Considering it is from China, this is the quickest shipping I have ever expirienced; it came faster than other states closer to me! The straps are very sturdy and this bag is the perfect size; not too big, not too small. It could fit all books and laptop. It has a watter bottle holder and I absolutely love it. I even reviewed this in a YouTube video!! (^^)
So. This will be my first ever cosplay! And I was so worried about ordering from a site, because all I heard was the horror stories of cosplay sites. But they keep you pretty updated with when it's shipped, and where it is and things. The costume is AMAZING! Everything fits so PERFECTLY. The shirt is a little long for my taste, but other than that. The material is super comfy and not stiff. And the quality is an A+ I ordered in on the 29th of July and got it within two weeks. (Just like they pretty much said it would). So yay for that too. All and all. I would recommend this product. The price is so totally worth it too. :)

I am a storyteller. I tell stories to connect with other people and create memorable interactions. It seems that most people like a good story, as proven by the wildly successful not-for-profit organization, The Moth, where people tell true stories to live audiences all around the country. I participate in these experiences in the Boston area, as a listener and as a performer.
So, why are so many brand stories so dry and uninteresting. How can we tell compelling stories, the kind that people gather around to hear? First, we need to understand what makes a good story. A good story connects us through our commonalities – of our humanness and all that entails. If you Google "elements of a good story", you will find that dozens of sources claim there are somewhere between 3 and 10 elements to a good story. Memorable, impactful stories often have good guys, bad guys, disaster narrowly averted, surprises, even lives lost and saved. These elements boil down to:
1) An inciting action
2) Conflict
3) Resolution
4) An antagonist
5) A protagonist
While a B2C story is commonly considered easier to tell, I think the B2B story can be as easy if you can get the business lingo out of the way and share information person to person. Does corporate communications share stories about enterprise-wide, best-in-class peer-to-peer something or another, or does one of your top engineers (protagonist, real character) share how he has created software (resolution) that addresses a security threat (inciting action), created by old technology (antagonist) and will save IT managers headaches from system down time (conflict).
If you aren't sure about your company story, it might be a good time to consider a retelling. Can you find these five elements in your story? Now, tell it in an honest, simple and meaningful way and see the moths gather to your flame.

With the March Madness heating up, and my beloved just knocking off a top 12 team..and hopefully finally getting some recognition, I would love something with some serious BLING.
Anybody up for a fantastic UNM Lobos challenge?
Let me know.

Bucs Win Third Straight, Knock Off Chattanooga, 32-10
Saturday, November 10, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. - East Tennessee State's defense came up big against Chattanooga, getting two interceptions that were turned into touchdowns and blocking a punt for a safety, as the Bucs rolled to a 32-10 Southern Conference football win over Chattanooga this afternoon in Johnson City. The win was the third straight for ETSU and put its record above the .500 mark for the first time this season at 5-4, 3-3 in the SoCon. Chattanooga suffered fifth straight loss to fall to 2-7, 1-6 in the SoCon. The three straight wins are the most for the Bucs since they started the 1999 season with four straight victories. It looked as if East Tennessee State might run away with it early. After the Bucs stopped Chattanooga's opening drive on the UTC 10-yard line, Charvin Clark (Ellenwood, Ga.) charged through the line on the Mocs punt attempt and came up with his second block in as many games. The ball rolled out of the back of the endzone for a safety just 1:36 into the game. After the safety, ETSU got the ball off the free kick on its own 38 and proceeded to put together a 10-play, 62-yard drive that culminated in a 18-yard touchdown pass from Matt Wilhjelm (Johnson City, Tenn.) to Andrew Nuckolls (Tunnel Hill, Ga.). Wilhjelm completed all four of his pass attempts on the drive for 48 yards. Chattanooga answered with a 22-yard field goal from Ben Thompson that capped an 18-play, 76-yard drive that consumed 9:22 of the clock. UTC quarterback Chuck Spearman converted on a pair of 15-yard pass plays to keep the drive alive, but the ETSU defense stiffened when the Mocs got a first and goal, and UTC had to settle for the three points to make it 9-3 with 13:12 to play in the second quarter. That would be about all of the offense the two teams could generate for the rest of the first half. At the end of the half ETSU's Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.) picked off his sixth pass of the year with 1:48 to play to halt a Mocs drive. Corey Carter (Greenwood, S.C.) fumbled on the next play, however, and the Mocs recovered on the ETSU 11-yard line. UTC's chance to tie or take the lead evaporated when it fumbled as well. Andrew Simmons (Goose Creek, S.C.) forced the ball loose from Maurice Wilson's grasp on a fourth and one play at the ETSU two. Spearman fell on the ball, but ETSU took over on downs and ran out the clock. ETSU's offense, which gained only 70 yards in the first half, was ignited in the third quarter when Wilhjelm hooked up with Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) on a 50-yard play midway through the period. Four plays later Nick Spearman (Summerville, S.C.) took it over from the two and the Bucs never looked back. On UTC's next drive Scott Brumet (Pioneer, Tenn.) intercepted Spearman and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown that put the game out of reach for UTC. Wilhjelm hit Nick Hendrickson (Greenville, Tenn.) with an 11-yard scoring strike and Wes Sands (Columbia, Tenn.) added a 30-yard field goal to close out the scoring for ETSU. Chattanooga got a 40-yard scoring pass from Justin Barnes to Jeremy Grier with 1:19 to play to close out the scoring for the day. Wilhjelm wound up completing 11 of 22 for 159 yards and two scores to lead the Bucs offense. Terry Copeland (Knoxville, Tenn.) led ETSU on the ground with 39 yards. Spearman was 12-of-24 with two interceptions for 92 yards. McNeill led the Mocs on the ground with 43 yards. ETSU defense held UTC to just 77 yards rushing and 240 yards of total offense. It was the second straight game that the Bucs have held an opponent to under 100 yards rushing. Linebacker Mike Cornegay (Fayetteville, N.C.) led the defense with 12 tackles.

Borobudur Temple : The largest Hindu-Buddhist Monument in the world
Posted on : 22 November 2012
Categories : Culture and Heritage
Borobudur is one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, located in Central Java, near Magelang, or forty kilometers west of Yogyakarta. This magnificent monument is the largest monument in the southern hemisphere and the greatest single piece of classical architecture in the entire archipelago.
This world's largest Buddhist stupa was actually built on Hindu foundations , a series of three stone terraces which began life in 775 AD as a large step pyramid. When the Buddhist Sailendras took over the site fifteen years later, building resumed on top of the three terraces to become their own temple.
It took 70 years to finish the construction. Millions of local volcanic rock block were joined together without mortar. Sculpted reliefs adorned the lower galleries, covered with stucco and painted. Unfortunately the foundation was unstable, cracks appeared, and the hill became totally waterlogged. It was abandoned and neglected for more than a thousand years. Rediscovered in 1815, but nothing was much done until 1973, when the UNESCO started the full-scale restoration. The project took 11 years. And until now, Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.
Borobudur, unlike most temples, was not built as a dwelling for the gods, but rather as a representation of the Buddhist cosmic mountain, Meru. Accordingly, the base is the real, earthly world, a world of desires and passions, and at the summit is nirvana. Thus, as you make your way around the temple passages and slowly spiral to the summit, you are symbolically following the path to enlightenment.
Let's start the journey!
Yep, let's walk through the park and see the image of the temple in front of us becomes clearer and bigger.
Hang on...we're almost there!
There it is!
Say 'hi' to the two lion gate guardians...!
Ready to climb these stairs? There are 360 steps (including the landings) in total.
No...no..., we're gonna take the path of enlightenment. Starts from the eastern stairway and continue in a clockwise direction. Follow all the stories (on each level on both the outer and inner wall) and you will have circled the temple ten times - a distance of almost 5km.
The story relief panel
A complete set of niche containing seated image of the Buddha, with the carved gargoyle for water drainage.
Missing niche.
(Some parts of Borobudur were looted by treasure seekers decades ago)
Buddha Statues
The cross-legged statue seated in a lotus position
After walking around the four terraces with the rectilinear galleries, you'll come to the round terraces. The three terraces contain diminishing numbers of hollow stone stupas, which each house a Buddha image displaying the dharmacakra mudra (the most teaching gesture). There are 72 stupas in total. The stupas on both lower terraces are built from a stone lattice with diagonal windows with a square harmika above. Those on the top terrace have square windows with an octagonal harmika. Can you see the differences?
On both the lowest and middle terraces a stupa has been left open, so that the images of Buddha can be seen more clearly.
At the summit is another stupa, the biggest one, solid in appearance. During the restoration, an unfinished Buddha image was found inside a hollow chamber there. Now it sits in the nearby museum courtyard. This huge empty stupa, almost 10m in diameter, represents the nirvana! ENJOY!GALLERY
