Editor's Note
Our reviews of 3 Silent Classics By Josef Von Sternberg: Criterion Collection (published August 25th, 2010), Underworld (published January 6th, 2004), Underworld (Blu-Ray) (published September 27th, 2007), Underworld: Evolution: Special Edition (published July 24th, 2006), Underworld Trilogy (published May 22nd, 2009), Underworld Trilogy (Blu-Ray) (published May 18th, 2009), and Underworld: Extended Cut (published December 3rd, 2004) are also available.
The Charge
An immortal battle for supremacy.
Opening Statement
Who doesn't like a little vampire on werewolf violence?
Facts of the Case
Underworld (2003)
When Selene captures a Lycan scientist, she learns that Michael is a direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus, whose two sons, Markus and William, were the first vampire and werewolf. The Lycans want to capture Michael because they believe his blood may be the key to combining the vampire and werewolf bloodlines, ending the war once and for all. Selene finds herself set against her own coven as Viktor is determined to prevent a merging of the bloodlines. When Michael is mortally wounded during the ensuing melee, Selene's only chance of saving him is to bite him. Already a Lycan, the vampire bite may kill him or it may turn him into a new kind of immortal: half-werewolf, half-vampire.
Underworld: Evolution (2006)
In the present day, Markus awakens from his hibernation, murders Kraven for his treachery, and sets off to find Selene and Michael, who are on the run from both the vampires and the Lycans. The duo eventually meets up with Alexander Corvinus (Derek Jacobi, I, Claudius), an immortal who has spent millennia trying to prevent the feud between his sons from spilling over into the mortal world. Corvinus knows that Markus is determined to find and release William, but can't bring himself to harm his own son in order to prevent the awful plan. Instead, he allows Selene to bite him, increasing her power exponentially so that she can stand against the brothers Corvinus.
The Evidence
The problem with Underworld and Underworld: Evolution is that they take themselves so damned seriously. The vampires are a bunch of navel-gazing Goths in frilly shirts and worn leather, while the Lycans look like a gang of metal-heads. Moments of the film play like a clique war at a local high school. I kept waiting for the jocks to show up and kick everyone's asses. Michael Corvin, the human character at the crux of the plot, is even more morose than the undead hipsters. A young widower, he seems perpetually ready to bring a dark cloud over the happy world of his friends and colleagues (okay, we really only meet one friend/colleague in Underworld, but it's no wonder: everyone else probably bailed on Corvin because he's such a downer). Imagine if Michael Corvin had been played by Justin Long in full Live Free or Die Hard mode. Rather than being an emo himbo, he would have reacted to finding himself in the middle of a preposterous war between vampires and werewolves with smartass disbelief, sarcasm, and self-deprecating humor—and the movies would actually be fun. Instead they're dreary affairs, bogged down by deadpan reads of ridiculous dialogue and labyrinthine exposition. Their only saving grace is that all of the narrative nonsense is occasionally punctuated by a kickass action set piece.
Underworld is the more entertaining of the two pictures, though not by much. After a clunky and unnecessarily serious voice-over introducing us to the history of conflict between the two species of monsters, the movie kicks into high gear and stays there for the entire first act. Chases, gunplay, and werewolf attacks abound. Selene performs slow motion gymnastics in platform patent leather boots and rustling black duster, a pistol clutched in each hand. It's awesome (despite werewolf CGI effects that are far from seamless). Then director Len Wiseman and screenwriter Danny McBride start piling on with legends of monstrous star-crossed lovers, a convoluted rationale for two of the three vampire elders being in hibernation at all times (Why? The run-of-the-mill vampires are centuries old and they're all tight-bodied and sexy), and tragic back stories for Selene and Michael. It's the weight of the Corvinus family soap opera under which the movie truly buckles. The storyline isn't bad per se, but all of our efforts paying attention to the nerdtastic setup are paid off with a vampire-werewolf hybrid that looks like a Halloween costume thrown together by a lazy college undergrad. Since the entire movie steadily builds toward the revelation of the hybrid, the monster needed to be damned cool. Instead of a horrifying and intimidating ghoul with leathery wings, fur, fangs, and claws, the hybrid is a scrawny, shirtless doofus with long fingernails, black-gray skin, and greasy hair. What a let-down.
Underworld: Evolution is burdened from the outset with all of the worst elements of the first film. It offers two layers of introductory exposition—a text-based preface rehashing the history of the monster war, followed by a prelude set in the 13th century that makes the text redundant—before we arrive at the main action. The movie never quite gets going; it wallows in the Corvinus storyline, expanding and fleshing it out. Then it fails once again to offer a compelling payoff to all the exposition. Michael may be a badass hybrid in theory, but in practice he isn't particularly formidable, let alone scary. Underworld: Evolution is essentially a rousing extended chase sequence between a semi-trailer truck and a hideous winged vampire, surrounded by an hour and a half of tedious monster minutiae. Long stretches of the movie felt like Wiseman and McBride were nerd-raping my brain with the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual. I didn't need to know all that pap about the Corvinus bloodline. I didn't want to know it. No means no.
Underworld & Underworld: Evolution's two discs repackage one-and-a-half previous releases: Disc One of the two-disc Underworld: Unrated Extended Cut DVD and the widescreen edition of Underworld: Evolution. The transfers and supplements are identical to the stand-alone packages. The good news is that the transfers are near perfect. Both movies sport a stylized color palette that is heavy on deep blacks, icy blues, pale flesh tones, and bright red blood. The transfers handle all of these extremes wonderfully. Detail is razor sharp. Digital artifacts are minimal. Being of newer vintage, Evolution is slightly more impressive than its predecessor, but only slightly. Underworld is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, while Evolution is 2.40:1.
Audio, too, is amazing. Quiet dialogue is clear as a bell, while action sequences will work your speakers out as mercilessly as a thick-necked physical trainer named Günther putting a noodle-armed milquetoast through the ringer just for the sport of it. Both Dolby 5.1 tracks are close to reference quality.
Since this release contains only the first disc of the Underworld: Extended Uncut DVD, it's relatively light on extras. There's an audio commentary by Len Wiseman, Kate Beckinsale, and Scott Speedman; an outtakes reel (3:43); a documentary about the history of vampires and werewolves called "Fang vs. Fiction" (47:07); and two Underworld TV spots.
For Underworld: Evolution, we also have a feature-length audio commentary, this time by Wiseman, production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, second unit director and stunt coordinator Brad Martin, and editor Nicolas De Toth. There are six making-of featurettes: "Bloodlines: From Script to Screen," "The Hybrid Theory," "Making Monsters Roar," "The War Rages On," "Building a Saga," and "Music and Mayhem." Each runs between 10 and 13 minutes. They can also be strung together via a Play All option. Finally, there's a music video for "Her Portrait in Black," performed by metalcore band Atreyu.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
God bless Bill Nighy. The man's a fine actor who can also unashamedly chew scenery when called upon to do so. In Underworld (and, to a lesser extent, Underworld: Evolution) he tears through scenery like a woodchuck in a bushel of alfalfa. His performance is wickedly over the top, but he dominates every moment he's onscreen. His line reads are bizarre; his angular face is mesmerizing. Were Nighy the star of the shows, the Underworld movies would be as fun and entertaining as they ought to be.
Closing Statement
Underworld and Underworld: Evolution aren't nearly as fun as a duology about a war between vampires and werewolves featuring Kate Beckinsale in a vinyl catsuit with a pistol in each fist should be. What a shame.

I've been working with this plug-in for a few hours and it is very flexible and from the previous questions I love what it can do. my only stumbling block is now that it is centered, how do I make the portion of the header behind the slides transparent? I want my background to show through.
Thanks for a great plug-in.

Glenn Beck Plans to 'Piss Everyone Off' by Relocating His New York Staff in Blaze Re-Launch
Where could this infuriating new building be?
Declaring himself to be "a lot closer to Penn Jillette than I am to Chuck Hagel," Glenn Beck announced on Tuesday that he'll re-launch The Blaze as an international libertarian news network. The revamp includes opening three bureaus in foreign cities that are "important to America," starting a new nightly news magazine show, and relocating his New York staff, currently based in Midtown, to a building that will "send a very clear message to everyone in New York ... it will piss everyone off." Let us guess, the New York Public Library's Rose Main Reading Room?

This is probably Turner's first attempt at an oil painting of a mythological subject in a classical landscape. The story comes from the Aeneid, by the Roman poet Virgil. Aeneas wants to visit the Underworld in order to consult the ghost of his father. The Cumaean Sibyl agrees to guide him through the kingdom of the dead.
Turner based the Italian setting of this painting, with its view of Lake Avernus, on a drawing by his patron, Sir Richard Colt Hoare. The deep lake, surrounded by dark woods, was believed to lead to the Underworld.

Connecting the Dots
Siloti Helps Reveal the Picture
Dot-to-dots are a fundamental part of American kiddie culture. Maybe it's universal; I don't want to speak to things I know nothing about… (much). But at least here in the US, it's a typical child's pastime (or homework busywork to placate parents that don't want their children wasting their time playing): a piece of paper has a few strategically-placed numbered dots. You fill in the missing information by supplying the path between the dots; the result should reveal an image that wasn't evident at the start. Read More

"North coast of Bali" Singaraja by kyoub
Singaraja Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 42 photos
I couldn't get Lovina to come up on VT but it is 4 miles west of Singaraja.
There is a 5 mile stretch of black sand beach made up of several villages that is called Lovina.
The term lovina refers to "love"
The north coast is about a 3 hr drive from the airport and about an hour from the east side of the island.
We were staying on the east side and got a driver to take us there.
We didn't get the chance to see much of Lovina, except for our hotel and the small village of Kalibukbuk
where we walked to use the internet.
- Pros:Very friendly laid back pace
- In a nutshell:A great base for seeing the north coast

Under circumstances too lengthy to explain in this column, but contained in my book, I gave up an opportunity to attend the Final Four and instead came to Utah to begin my stay in Provo for my law school years. The Final Four games also coincided with the church's April general conference.
On Saturday, April 2, 1983, I missed most of NC State's semifinal game against Georgia while attending general conference broadcasts. But in between the Saturday afternoon session and priesthood session, I caught the end of the game and saw the Wolfpack close out Georgia with a 67-60 victory. I had been in Utah only a few days and things were already going very well for me.
The victory earned Thurl, Sid, Dereck, Lorenzo and the rest of the Cardiac Pack a date with destiny on Monday night against the high-flying University of Houston Cougars, featuring Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler — and captained by current BYU head basketball coach Dave Rose. I could hardly wait for Monday evening's game to come.
That weekend, I encountered John McHenry, a returned missionary from the North Carolina Raleigh Mission. I got to know him the few months between my baptism and his return home. He invited me to watch the game with him at the apartment of some friends, and I accepted.
On Monday evening, April 4, 1983, I found myself watching NC State play for the championship in a city and environment, and under circumstances, I would have never imagined, even a few weeks earlier while still in Puerto Rico. Yet the reality of my incredible situation did not surprise me, especially after the fantastic voyage I had been on the past 32 months since I had joined the LDS Church.
In a sense, that night was a date with destiny for me as well as for Thurl, Sid, Dereck and especially Lorenzo, who dropped in Dereck's long and badly-missed shot a micro-second before the game's final buzzer sounded.
Similar to Coach Valvano's running around the court looking for someone to hug, for a brief moment I didn't know exactly what to do among the group of strangers I was with, all of whom were Caucasian males. When that moment passed, I instinctively began hugging John, which broke my bashfulness. I then began to jump around and scream without regard for anyone or anything. I was so happy — with a deep and intrinsic joy that went beyond just having my alma mater win a championship.
My pure bliss came from the realization that where I was and what I was doing — and feeling — stemmed from my choices to attend NC State, to let the Mormon missionaries into my apartment and to delay law school to serve a mission. In essence, I was at that place, at that time, in that situation and under those circumstances because I had made the right choices at the right time.
To bring this story full circle, I recently had the opportunity to attend a two-week course at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. That trip gave me the chance to visit Raleigh on the last Saturday of July. While there, I visited with my first bishop, Kermit Nichols, before making my way to Lorenzo Charles' final resting place at the Oakwood Cemetery in downtown Raleigh.
I paid my respects to Lorenzo and Coach Valvano, whose gravesite is only a few yards from Lorenzo's. The close proximity of their graves caused me to remember and smile about something I had heard following Lorenzo's death.
"I guess Jimmy V finally found someone to hug."
My brief visit to Oakwood Cemetery was a moving experience which reconnected me, spiritually and emotionally, with the grandest and best Fourth of my life — April 4, 1983.
I will never forget that night of nights for me, or how it powerfully and perfectly reconfirmed to me that with God, there are no coincidences.

Experts tell you how to serve a bird that's delicious — and safe
Published: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 9:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 9:28 a.m.
Thanksgiving is a time for gathering with relatives. It's also, apparently, the time when people attempt to poison said relatives.
It's not intentional, of course — it's just that there are so many people with undeveloped cooking skills flinging raw bird around the kitchen.
"I would caution folks to make sure that the turkey is thawed — and you definitely have to do that under refrigeration," said Casey McKissick, who with his wife Meredith runs Foothills Farm and Butchery in Asheville, N.C.
McKissick said that one of the most important tools in a Thanksgiving turkey toolbox isn't one of those hypodermic flavor injectors, nor is it a turkey fryer. It's a meat thermometer.
"An internal-temperature food thermometer makes the difference between a dry bird and putting a bloody turkey on the table," he said.
As unpleasant as that image is, it bears noting. It's also worth repeating the safe temperature at which the official federal food safety site, foodsafety.gov, recommends serving the turkey: 165 degrees.
Measure that by sticking a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey's thigh when the bird is close to done (generally 15 minutes per pound, but check with the person from whom you buy your turkey).
Even if you're careful during the cooking process, cross-contamination during prep time can also be a concern. "People should know that raw poultry is one of the most dangerous food items out there," said McKissick.
To that end, people should keep the bird in the sink while unwrapping and not on the counter, McKissick said. For a store-bought turkey, make sure to discard the bag inside the bird, too. And make sure that every surface the raw bird touches is cleaned well with antibacterial soap — including your hands.
"I would caution folks to make sure the turkey is (completely) thawed out before Thanksgiving, if it's been previously frozen," McKissick said. "And you definitely have to do it under refrigeration."
A 15-pound turkey will usually take three days to thaw in the refrigerator.
Brining and basting
With a refresher course on good hygiene behind you, let's move on to the more exciting aspects of Thanksgiving dinner: the flavor of the food.
How to get the best flavor into the bird? McKissick is a big believer in brine and, at Foothills, his birds are available pre-brined in a mixture of salt water, rosemary and apple cider vinegar.
"With a heritage bird, the brine is critical," he said.
But even if your turkey is a standard Butterball from the grocery store, rather than a local heirloom breed, McKissick thinks that brine is key.
Ann Araps, who runs the retail store at Hickory Nut Gap Meats in Asheville, agrees that apple cider vinegar is a good way to help tenderize a bird. But she recommends adding it to the pan during the basting process, which she said is the way to go if you want a crispy skin and a moist bird.
"The key to keeping the breast moist is to baste the turkey," Araps said. "As long as you baste it every 30 minutes, you're going to have a very moist bird — and that's going to help you get a crunchy skin as well because you're constantly putting the glaze on top and it will get crunchier each time you baste it."
She recommends adding citrus juice or apple cider vinegar to the basting liquid as the fat comes out of the bird. "Something that's acidic will also help tenderize the meat," she said. The sugars also help crisp the skin.
How you treat the bird before it gets into the oven is crucial to how it tastes once it comes out.
"A great way, if you one to add some flavor, is shoving cloves of garlic and fresh sprigs of rosemary under the skin," Araps said. Thyme and sage are other aromatic herbs to add. If you want to, put butter under the skin, too.
"You can definitely shove butter under the skin, I never shy away from that," she said.
And for a small crowd?
Araps said that a table for two could always look for locally raised turkey breast, though that's not something Hickory Nut Gap sells, she said. "You could also try a small game hen or a duck," she said. "A lot of people also do hams."
But when it comes to turkey, the best way to go is whole bird, Araps said.
"I think that the meat is the most flavorful and tender that way," she said. Cooking the turkey whole means bones are left over — which means plenty of delicious stock.
"Pick it clean and make turkey salad, just like you would chicken salad," said Araps. "Or put it in the freezer and use it to make quesadillas or pizza — whatever you want."
To make stock, cover the turkey bones with water in a large pot and add carrots, onions, celery, thyme and bay leaves. "And then just cook it low and slow for 8-24 hours, at least," Araps said. "I mean, you can cook that thing for up to 72 hours if you want, and just keep pulling the broth off of it."
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
Small handful of aromatics: garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, whole peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon or orange zest removed in strips
Add 1-2 cups of apple cider vinegar, if desired
1 gallon fresh water
Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Put fresh or completely thawed turkey in a large, turkey-size oven bag, brining bag or other food-safe container (even a clean garbage bag, for example, is not food-safe) and add brine mixture. A large bucket can be used, but make sure first that it will fit in your refrigerator and that you have room for it there. Brining must be done in a refrigerator at all times.
If using an oven bag, squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag with twist tie. Place brined turkey in refrigerator for up to two days before cooking. Turn turkey occasionally to ensure even brining. Makes 1 gallon.

A radiator isn't getting hot.
Paint or rust may be freezing the bleeder valve. Trying to free it with a radiator key usually just breaks the key, which is made of soft metal. Instead, use needle-nose pliers to gently work the valve back and forth until it opens. That'll release pent-up air so that the radiator will fill with hot water again.

The Adventure Inn is a great hotel for good connections to the airport arriving or departing. There was no problems leaving for the airport with their free shuttle service at 4:45 am, too early for the breakfast. There is nothing in the neighborhood accessible on foot. The location is OK if you have a car or are planning on using it for a base and taking tours which will pick up at the hotel. The room itself was very nice, as good as any I have had for the price anywhere . The staff was helpful with reasonable English skills. As I had no car and was only there one night I tried the bar and restaurant. The beer was reasonably priced and the food was not bad. BTW, Interbus is an excellent service providing hotel to hotel transportation between cities in Costa Rica.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- A modern value-priced 3.5 star San Jose hotel convenient to both the airport and city with free airport shuttle service*. Enjoy a full American and Tico buffet and hot ordered breakfast; 34 spacious smoke-free rooms with A/C, cable, free international phone calls, safe ($1 extra), two new queen beds and a modern tiled bath; a nice restaurant and bar opening into our new outdoor pool complex, full wifi throughout, four guest computers, a new ten-piece gym, car rentals, central to Costa Rica's biggest and best tours, and unequalled travel help and advice. ... more less

NPR Music producers Sami Yenigun and Otis Hart return once again to hold court with Bob Boilen on the best new electronic music. This episode of All Songs Considered includes tracks from superstars M83 and Four Tet, a collaboration between Burial and Massive Attack, off-the-radar releases from The Field, Luca Bacchetti, Roll the Dice and RxRy, and a mysterious single from an unknown artist.
Along the way, Sami and Otis explain some of the peculiarities and buzzwords of the electronic scene, such as "dubplate culture," and why dance tracks so often sound like one long middle.

Columbus Day Weekend on the Maine Coast
While Columbus Day Weekend is usually near the peak of fall foliage season here on the Southern Maine Coast, this season's colors are about two and a half weeks behind schedule, but there is plenty of beautiful fall foliage to be seen (along with the green)! And because of unseasonably warm weather during the first weeks of autumn, folks are really enjoying the season now that it has arrived. So this weekend there are lots of incredible events to enjoy during the… Read More

Stunning eye, perfect body, lots of energy, very intelligent, very confident... more than perfect!
I do look young for my age and I do feel the same way. Good genes no pills! I am very energetic and very passionate about many things, just to name a few... global warming, kids with disabilities, homeless, abused... I am very educated and I am curious about many things. I do pay attention to politics and I do consider myself a political "junky." Sports are fun and I love sports but sports do not affect our lives. Politics does affect us in many profound ways, -- our checkbooks, our healths, our metal wellbeings, our roads, our copays, etc. I am looking for my soul-mate to spent the rest of our great time together on this small planet Earth.

I know that this may be the wrong forum but what happened to Grady? I have not seen any postings by him in ages. He was always good for a laugh and seemed to hit the nail on the head with all his comments.
His last activity was April 2nd, 2011 11:19 AM
Hope it wasn't something I said!
Seriously, hope that he's alright!
He always had good poop to share.
I too sent a message to an older moderator here asking about Grady. Hope all is well with him. Maybe he just took a break from the forum stuff.
I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry.

If I'm not mistaken Grady advised that he would be back in time. Hope it's not too long. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Grady, we all miss you.

The Northeast Arnhem Land regional ear health campaign aimed to increase the understanding of ear health for the Yolngu Aboriginal people of north-east Arnhem Land. The project concentrated on increasing understanding of foundational concepts related to ear health, including the germ theory of disease, hearing and early childhood development, and the anatomy of internal structures of the ear.
The project's goals were achieved by:
Funded by the Australian Government's Department of Health, the Northeast Arnhem Land regional ear health campaign added nineteen radio programs in Yolngu Matha to the six existing radio programs produced from a similar project of education sessions (see links below). This earlier project was funded by the Laynhapuy Homelands Association and Anglicare's Communities for children program, and implemented by the Aboriginal Resource and Development Services (ARDS) over a twelve month period.

Bought domain name from hostgator. Followed a tutorial, pressing all the right buttons etc. The link between hostgator and wordpress acceptance was 3 hours (The norm) but when asked to continue with given user name and password (from wordpress) I was confronted with prompts of error and invalid password.
I already have a blog on wordpress, and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it. (I use the same email address).
I am unable to continue with the build of the web site and have no idea where the new domain name is.
I have been advised to ask for a renewed password from admin.
The domain name is (was) stories4u.com. The given password was 16 characters, upper and lower case as well as numbers.
Any ideas?

I think I need a cigarette after that lol
I wanted to take up smoking again after writing it!
I'm not sure how to respond to Awww...Thanks? Merci? Sweeeeet? Ooohhhh? Yay?
I think I'll go with Sweeeeeeeeeet. :p
Can't wait for the Yahtzee game lol
Good old Yahtzee.
The Scrabble game reminds me of the time my friends and I played Porno Pictionary. And to answer your question, I know Alice is crazy energetic but that's what downers are for lol.
LOL! I guess the downers people are going to do booming business, because it seems that everyone is choosing Alice as their BFF. ;)
Those diary entries are so heart-breaking
I'm glad they work. I needed a way for Elizabeth's story to be told, and since she's not around, what better way than this? She is a tragic figure, and Edward needed to know that his mom loved him, needed to understand why she did what she did.
There are a couple more diary entries in the next chapter, so brace yourself.
He hadn't had any answers to why his mother did what and i think his reaction is what can be expected of from someone who went through something traumatic when they were so little. Poor Edward! I want him to kick his sperm donor's ass!
Now that would have been a good way to raise money for Haiti Relief...a Kick Edward's Sperm Donor's Ass booth. I'd like to kick him myself. *ugh*
Just wait until you read HIS story. It's hard on the head. His thought processes are all over the place.
I'm hiring a bounty hunter and finding Edward Sr and going to have the hunter bring him to me and I'm going to gut him like a fish..F***ing Coward! Boy I'm violent lol
Why not hack him up with a hockey stick? Getting slashed across the shins with a blade is PAINFUL!!
He's such a f***ing asshole! God! My blood is boiling!
Breathe, HC, breathe. I would hate for you to blow a gasket over him. ;)
Emmett is too cute!
Emmett's just going to get cuter. ;)
Can't wait for the baby! It's so refreshing not to feel violent towards any character like I have recently lol
LOL! You won't feel violent toward Bean.
I'm so happy for Emmett and Rosalie!
Yay! Bean is here!!! I'm glad that people are happy for them.
Little Lily! How cute!
Ah, little LilyBean, the apple of her daddy's eye. ;)
Pregnant Bella is f***ing awesome! You go girl!
I'm glad you're enjoying her, HC!
The ending was really sweet.
I just wanted to say thank you for replying to my reviews :)
I want to say thank you for giving me reviews to reply to! I love doing it...I've gotten to know some great people this way, and really I think it's important to respond to them. You guys take the time to read my story and make comments on it--the least I can do is respond, even if sometimes my replies don't make sense. ;)
At least Bella didn't die. I was afraid that might happen. I had a feeling Peanut would be a boy for some reason.
Wow, you guys think so little of me and doubt me so much. Do you really think I'd let Bella go through all of that only to kill her off? I don't think so.
Oh ye of little faith.
Like Edward doesn't have enough crap on his plate lol
I know, but I didn't want to leave any loose ends, and we all know that Ed Sr. is a loose canon of a loose end. He needs to be dealt with. Poor Edward never gets a break, does he?
No one can catch a break, seriously?
No, no they can't. I am cruel, evil, and a horrible person. ;)
I'm sad to see this story come to an end. :( It is one of my favorites.
You and me both, Chick. I hated to end it, but it was the most organic place to do it. I didn't want it to drag on and have everyone end up hating it. :(
Great end to a great story! :)
Thanks, HockeyChick. I hope you'll stick around for the new story. :)
Banner Designed by the amazing HeatherDawn ♥
A tragic accident separated Edward and Bella, forcing them down paths they never envisioned. What happens when they find themselves torn between having what they always wanted and honoring commitments made? AH, Rating for language & lemons
The ending was cute and sweet. I'm sad this story is over :(
Bella's kinda a hoe...I don't like that lol. Stick with one dick...perferrably Edward's...if not, his....I'll take it.
Harsh reality check huh, Edward?
Gracie is so adorable and Edward is a jackass :)
Oh snap!

Stand Up for a Strong Core
By The FIRM Master Instructor Susan Barnes
You don't have to lay on the floor to work your core! Do this standing core workout routine by itself after a short warm up, or add it to the end of another workout to cool down and work your core at the same time. Want more of a challenge? Intermediate and advanced exercisers can add a set of 3-, 5-, or 8-pound dumbbells.
Be sure to stretch when you're done — a foam roller is especially great after a tough abs session!

AbstractThis proposal addresses the planned improvements to advance the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS) during Phase II of this SBIR. Significant improvements will be implemented to expand RCAS functionality, accuracy, and usability. RCAS functionality will be greatly expanded with the addition of new complex rotorcraft components that allow users to model exotic configurations easily and with high fidelity. The functionality and accuracy of RCAS aerodynamics calculations will be enhanced through updates to the airloads, induced velocity, and interference aerodynamics models. In addition, the airloads calculations will be improved through the expansion of the Peters, Hsieh, and Torrero airloads module implemented in Phase I of this SBIR. Improvements to convergence characteristics, and the implementation of more robust routines for handling program data, will make RCAS much more efficient when modeling large and complex models. RCAS user efficiency will be improved through the coupling of RCAS with widely used external programs to allow users to easily import/export data between programs. To improve RCAS usability, an intuitive graphical user interface for model input, analysis, and output will be implemented. The graphical user interface, designed in Phase I of this SBIR, will greatly enhance user efficiency and confidence through improved feedback, flexibility, and help.

MoD takes eBay approach to selling surplus goods
Ministry of Defence launches online auction site to dispose of excess equipment, including military uniforms, vehicles and tents.
Forget skulking on eBay for an authentic fancy dress costume or, say, a fire truck, now collectors and penny-pinchers can buy straight from the source - the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The MoD has launched a public online auction site via its Disposal Sales Agency (DSA) to sell-off surplus government equipment, including military uniforms, tents, and vehicles to groups as varied as collectors, scout groups and scrap metal merchants.
Currently on the site, the MoD is selling off assault boots for £30, an armoured Discovery people carrier for £9,500, various aircraft, the RMAS Fiona, a 22-metre ship, for £70,000 and an amphibious load carrier for £175,000 (pictured).
It's hoped that the auctions will return more money to taxpayers by removing the need for a middleman, reducing disposal costs and ensuring the best possible prices.
"The DSA recognises that with more and more transactions being carried out online, we must adapt our approach in order to maximise the return to the Ministry of Defence and to the taxpayer," said DSA spokesman Les Taylor.
The DSA has raised £700m since its inception in 1994 by selling surplus equipment, including warships, aircraft and fire engines. However, no weapons or ammunition will be sold online, and some items will be limited to registered users.

GMP warning of phone scam
Green Mountain Power warned customers Thursday that several attempts to scam its commercial customers over the phone have been reported.
The caller claims to be representing Green Mountain Power and asks customers to pay their account balance by releasing credit card information or paying with a money card or other payment mechanism.
The caller also states that the customers would have electric service disconnected if they did not comply.
GMP said it follows very clear processes when working with customers about paying their bills and advises that it would not demand credit card information or alternate payment for any purpose.
This is clearly a phone scam, GMP said.
Any customer receiving such a call should not provide the caller with personal information, including account or credit card numbers, and should contact Vermont State Police or their police departtment.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

James Watson isn't a household name in professional bass fishing. At this point in his career, he's OK with that. But if the fourth-year pro from Waynesville, Mo., continues his current track, that will soon change.
Watson, a 10-year Army veteran, is a relative newcomer to the sport. Upon completion of his military service, Watson began employment as a real estate sales agent. After thriving in that role, the 40-year-old opened his own Realty Executives franchise in central Missouri right outside Fort Leonard Wood. Once his business took off, Watson took to the water.
"I now spend over 200 days a year fishing," he said. "Thankfully I have a manager that runs everything, even when I'm there in the office. I don't have to worry about stuff when I'm gone, and that is so helpful. Could I make more money if I wasn't always on the road? Sure, but it's not all about the money, it's really not. All I want to do now is fish."
Not one to shy away from a challenge, Watson took his lumps his first few years on Tour. He'd catch a big bag one day only to return to the same area the next and strike out using similar tactics.
"I made a conscious effort this year not to get spun out and get upset at myself," he explained. "That has allowed me to follow my gut. When you're following your gut, you're fishing by the seat of your pants. I'm going to every event now with an open mind and a good attitude. Over the last few years, I put a lot of pressure on myself. I'd have one bad tournament and I'd be so mad I'd put even more pressure on myself to catch them at the next tournament. And the negativity would just snowball."
Watson used the second day at Lewis Smith Lake as a great example.
"I caught them pretty good on a crankbait the first day. But on the second day they wouldn't bite it in the flat-calm conditions. I finally decided to open up and just go fishing. I switched to flipping bushes and boat docks and ended up bringing a good limit to the scale. Before I would've gotten wrapped around the axle about where I caught them the day before and on what. Now I'm not afraid to fish new water. I tell myself, `Hey, you're a good enough fisherman, go out and fish.' I just have confidence now that I'm doing the right thing.
"Now I'm just looking at stuff in practice, not even fishing it, and then I'll go there during the tournament and catch a key fish. That's what Jason is so good at. He just goes and fishes his strengths."
When Watson references Jason, he's talking about the hottest angler in the sport - Rayovac pro Jason Christie. Watson travels with Christie and Arkansas pro Robbie Dodson.
"Jason's schedule has gotten kind of crazy this year between family and fishing both circuits, but Robbie and I have really become close friends, we share everything."
Watson lightheartedly refers to Christie as the "Indian" because of his Cherokee descent and Dodson as the "Ridge Runner" because of his backwoods Arkansas upbringing.
"You can't run with the Indian and the Ridge Runner and not learn something about bass fishing. Everybody knows about Jason now. But Robbie is a great fisherman too. He's a quiet guy, but I honestly think he's the most underrated fisherman on tour. He can flip and pitch jigs with the best - great squarebill guy too. He can throw a spinnerbait all day; the guy is just a bass-whacking fool."
Like Christie and Dodson, Watson is at home power fishing in shallow water, but he's learned to diversify to survive the different types of fisheries the FLW Tour encounters.
"I like to flip Luck-E-Strike jigs and tubes; that's my comfort zone. But some of my success this year has been about picking up an ultralight. That's something I've never really done, but this year I have and it has saved my butt."
At the halfway point in the FLW Tour season, Watson sits sixth in the Angler of the Year race with 522 points. While he's thrown it in regional tournaments, none of his newfound success has come via umbrella rigs.
"The Alabama rig hasn't done a thing for me," Watson remarked. "Overall, I'm pretty neutral about it. I just look at it as a good prespawn bait. It just hasn't played a role in any major event for me. I will say it's not the cure for the haphazard fisherman. Confidence is the cure, not the Alabama rig."
Watson likes the remaining three FLW Tour venues, but vows to continue to fish with an open mind.
"My goal is to get that first Forrest Wood Cup berth as a pro. I hope to do well more for my sponsors than I do for myself if that makes sense. There are some people out there, like Veteran United Home Loans, that I want to make proud. And really, I'm fishing looser because of great sponsors."

Lasquran,Do you take other medications all the years i have worked in pharmacy I have never seen this used for GAD below is the correct use however sometimes being this is a fairly new drug the find it helps with other stuff which is none as offlabel i lookes in several of my books and did not see anything about Gad we dispenced very little of this due to the side effects for many people but for severe nerve pain and such.LYRICA is a prescription medicine approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used in adults to manage fibromyalgia (chronic pain all over your body). It is also used to treat diabetic nerve pain or pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (pain in the feet and hands from damaged nerves caused by diabetes), spinal cord injury nerve pain and pain after shingles.
In addition, it is used together with other seizure medicines to treat partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy.hope this well hope some Chuck Wise Retired Pharmacy Techniecian.Cpht. i wish i could be of more help.
Dear chuck thank u,anticonvulsant is group of drug used as second line option for anxiety i am sure look for in the medscape and pfizer leaflet of lyrica,but the FDA refused it you know they are highly strict organization but i think it well soon be accepted in USA.
