HILLSVILLE — After Virginia's Supreme Court denied a request to hear an appeal in Elva Rosemary Nixon's January 2006 convictions of second-degree murder, robbery and use of a firearm, she appears to have exhausted all opportunities in state courts to get the case overturned.
In a week-long jury trial, Nixon was convicted in the ambush of Donald Brady, 75, on his farm in the Keno section of Carroll County.
Brady died while he was being treated for gunshot wounds that he suffered during the attack.
Through a series of towers and equipment, nine out of 10 Carroll County schools, the Crossroads Institute in Galax and the Farmers' Market in Hillsville are already connected to faster Internet speeds through the "Wired Road" regional broadband network, and the service will soon be provided to citizens.
The Regional Industrial Facilities Authority, which works on industrial projects in the area, is coordinating the project.
Irene Rodriguez Uribe of Galax was sentenced Sept. 23 in U.S. District Court in Harrisonburg to 87 months in prison for conspiring to distribute 500 grams of methamphetamine in Western Virginia and beyond.
The prison term is to be followed by three years of supervision. She was ordered to pay a special assessment of $100.
HILLSVILLE — A 49-year-old Carroll County man has been charged with possession of untaxed alcohol and marijuana after deputies searched his home Sept. 25.
Sheriff Warren Manning identified the man as Milton Dale Coulson, who was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute and possession of untaxed alcohol.
Investigators Fred Bobbitt and Venton Smith obtained a search warrant as part of an investigation into suspicious activities.
HILLSVILLE -- Having just ended a not-so-good first half on a positive note, Carroll County coach Tom Hale told his Cavaliers that if they got after it in the second half, good things would happen. It took about two seconds for that to ring true.
An impromptu onside kick sparked a 20-point third-quarter scoring binge for the Cavaliers, who roared back from a 20-6 deficit with 29 straight points to knock off William Byrd 35-26 in a nondistrict game Friday at Tommy Thompson Field.
When Mark Davis and Cody Cline started out in the barbecue catering business as Squealers Authentic BBQ Company more than a year ago, their intentions were to become restaurant owners, serving only the best homemade foods around.
In fact, Davis, who worked for many years at The Gazette and The Carroll News, quit his newspaper job to make a career out of barbecuing.
Cline, a full-time mechanic at Hills Trucking, spends 50 to 60 hours a week in front of the grill, perfecting barbecue.
Wet and soggy conditions couldn't slow down the rushing attack of the Patrick County Cougars as they rumbled over Galax for a 32-6 nondistrict win Friday night.
The Cougars (4-1) managed 346 yards on 51 carries, including 180 yards from standout senior running back John Harris.
Harris, who played only a few snaps into the second half, is expected to be playing on Saturdays this time next fall and rolled over the Tide (1-4) on almost every carry.
If you're one of those people who feels better after indulging in some retail therapy, then you should know that you're shopping practices can help others, too.
By visiting SWVTC Cottage Crafts at the Southwest Virginia Farmers' Market in Hillsville, you will support vocational pursuits at the training center.
The booth set up in the retail building at the farmers' market is the logical extension of the Southwest Virginia Training Center's handicrafts and gifts made by those who live there.
Galax has had two full weeks with which to prepare for Patrick County. That can be a blessing, or it can be a curse. Any high school coach would welcome the added time to devise a way to contain the Cougars' John Harris. The curse is in having twice as long to think about it.

I didn't have as much time at the gym today, so I opted to cut everything down by 1 set and bump up the reps. So like instead of 5×10 aim for 4×12.
While that helped on time, it also showed something else that I need to work on: putting myself fully into every set.
I pace myself for sure. I know I have 5 sets to go, so I'll pace for those 5 sets to ensure I get them. In general that's good because there's something to that effect. But I think sometimes I should strive to be fully there for each set and not pace it. So like instea of 1 group of 5 sets, I have 5 groups of 1 set, if you will. That each and every set is fully balls-to-the-wall. Probably not something to do every time, but sometimes yeah… this would be good.
Doing this somewhat today was really good. I actually felt today was more productive and not as exhausting. That's gotta be a good thing.
On shrugs, I did the first set Meadows-style. While resting between sets, I did some "air shrugs" and found pinching my shoulder blades together was something I wasn't doing. Remember, I'm trying to fix my posture during shrugs so I don't kill my spine. I then opted to do the remaining sets trying to keep my shoulders pulled back and just shrugging normally (no 3-second hold). The goal was to just have the 1 "warm-up" set and then have the other sets be with the shoulders back and just rep-out.
Ended doing the curls 21-style. Just thought I'd try it. Nice pump but I question if it'll do anything truly useful. Might be something where if I had a dedicated arm day and did a lot of direct biceps work, just 1 set of things to finish and away I go. shrug
In other news, I start to rethink the 5/3/1 approach. I'll say that doing something like normal 5/3/1 followed by Joker Sets, followed by first-set-last (in the 3-5 sets of 5-8 reps) seems pretty appealing. But then I start think about how damn beat up I get and that's not good. But I dunno… with RP fueling my diet, I may be able to pull it off. That was one big appeal of Strong-15 was not feeling as beat up. So I dunno. Back to waffling I guess.

Why Vermont Opted-In for FirstNet's State Plan
On November 29 Vermont decided to opt-in to the FirstNet Network. Public safety communication efficiency will increase, which will provide greater community protection and a quicker response to an emergency. This highly secure wireless system is only used by first responders and emergency departments, so large pieces of data can be sent and received without slowing down the wireless signal. "It is important that Vermont's first responders have the best service and access to an interoperable network that is expected to advance and adapt with new technology through the next 25 years," said Governor Phil Scott in the press release. "Vermont...Read More Share
No Normal Day
Please note: the following post was first published by firstnet.gov. There is no "normal day" in Chicago, our nation's third-largest city, according to Alicia Tate-Nadeau, Executive Director for Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications. With a population of about 2.7 million people—and growing—Chicago has significant transportation and critical infrastructure, and hosts about 80 major, planned events each week. That means Chicago's first responders need dedicated broadband to communicate and do their jobs. "If you talked to the majority of the public, they think we already have [dedicated broadband]," Tate-Nadeau...Read More Share
U.S. Virgin Islands is First to Accept FirstNet and AT&T Plan
This week, the U.S. Virgin Islands became the first U.S. territory to accept the FirstNet network. Governor Kenneth Mapp announced this decision, which will deliver a wireless broadband network to the territory's public safety community. FirstNet technology allows first responders to save lives, arrive at emergencies sooner, and protect communities—all from a private, wireless broadband network. After FirstNet consultation and outreach activities with the U.S. Virgin Islands, Mapp stated "that it is in the best interest of the United States Virgin Islands and the country to participate in the FirstNet deployment of the National Public Safety...Read More Share
Public Safety in the Hands of FirstNet Software
The FirstNet wireless communication system has the ability to transform emergency departments across state lines. With its wireless technology, police, fire, and other first response teams can communicate simultaneously during emergencies. FirstNet will improve response times, which will ultimately improve the beginning of an emergency where communication can be the least efficient. New Jersey is one of the first states to opt-in to the FirstNet technology in partnership with AT&T. "New Jersey is proud to take this important step for first responders in our state. The decision to join this network means FirstNet and AT&T will deliver...Read More Share

Astoria, New York (PressExposure) February 03, 2011 -- As a mixture between Karsh Kale's enigmatic world, Biosphere avant garde atmosphere and well-known progressive ambient music, Cobresia is an intriguing music installation that features over three hours of avant garde music.
The valuable content is the ambient symphony 'Sigil for Life' which are generated by the author's playing on the keyboard live with an open source software in two overlays, and combines Scfi-sounds with enigmatic mystical symphony tones.
Another gem of the release is the song "Merry Christmas" which tends to mixes western Christmas sounding with African/Indian horns and chords.
The album was done as an school project and is released on the global music marked by the Stockholm based company 'Record Union' (who are a Stockholm based company), which itself allows anyone to upload and publish their own music on the global music network by their 'liberating-music' market strategy. They distributed the works by the now more world-awarded artist 'Nomy' which did his success by the internet.

Saving money, adding sexy, financial fears and personal finance.
1. 7 Ways to Save Money at Home
Debt Discipline — Brian opens this post with a question: "Who wouldn't want to have a little more money at the end of every month?" Indeed. Most people who live paycheck-to-paycheck would love some extra money, and Brian provides some great ideas.
Although the first idea isn't new, it certainly helps people save money: Cut the cable. He says with online streaming and other options, cutting the cable has become a trend. I still use cable but lowered my monthly fee by only purchasing the basics. Check out his other ideas.
2. Saving Money Over Your Car's Lifetime
One Smart Dollar — Buying a car could be the second largest sum you spend — owning a home takes first place. And besides being a terrible investment, they also break down at the most inopportune times. You can save money on a car by using Sean's advice.
I like his fourth tip: "Future-proof your vehicle." He believes "that alternative fuel vehicles are only going to become more commonplace in the future." So, why not purchase one now while tax incentives and some subsidies still exist. I like saving money on gas just like the next person.
3. Add the Sexy Back to Your Money at Any Stage of Finances
Frugal Confessions — Amanda asks: Does your money repulse you, or make you swoon? Interesting question. She says, if it repulses you then you won't deal with it correctly. Take your wallet or purse for example. Is it cluttered and an overall mess?
If you answered yes, Amanda recommends cleaning it up. She says, "It's important that you feel positive each time you access your money. She provides four other sexy tips. Check out how you can "Infuse Glam into Your Account Names." Then read about how solar is sexy.
4. How to Handle Financial Fears
His & Her Money — Talaat and Tai say financial fears make people stress. For example, some stress about retirement and others about their children's safety. The fear not only debilitates them physically, it also seemingly prevents them from making "any progress economically."
They provide a couple tips to help us calm our nerves. The first tip makes sense: "Acknowledge your fears." As you face them, you must also "face your current financial situation." If you're losing sleep over money issues, read this post.
5. Why Personal Finance Is Personal, and Why it Matters That You Know
Ready to be Rich — Everyone's personal finance situation is different — even if only slightly. Fitz says, "what works for me when it comes to saving money may not work for others." It all depends on what we want out of life and how we spend our time doing it.
He believes when we set personal goals, such as retirement saving, travel or paying off credit card debt, that dictates what's right for our situation. Just make sure you set goals. Check this post out.

What's New

New economic index finds New York ranking last in nation- again
In the latest of a series of studies critical of New York
State's business climate, a new report by the California-based
Pacific Research Institute (PRI) and Forbes magazine
has concluded that New York State is the least economically
free state in the nation.
The 2004 U.S. Economic Freedom Index ranked New York at or near the bottom of the list in four of five measures considered in the study: government size (50), welfare spending (50), regulatory (42), fiscal (47), and judicial (8).
States earned their scores on the level of government intervention in each category, according to the study. The variables include tax rates, state spending, occupational licensing, environmental regulations, income redistribution, right-to-work and prevailing-wage laws, tort laws, and the number of government agencies. States with the most economic freedom boast fewer tax and regulation obstacles to running a business or working.
New York also fared badly on the study's tax oppression index. That index measured the effect that loss or gain of economic freedom over a five year period had on each state.
"I can't think of another state that consistently performs as badly as New York," said Lawrence McQuillan, director of business and economic studies at PRI.
The study showed that, for every 10 percent increase in a state's economic index, average annual per capita income increased by about half a percent. Over the past five years, New York's per capita income has dropped by $2,441, well above the national average of $1,161 and the third highest loss in the nation.
The study also measured "tax oppression" as a percentage of income. New York's percentage, 7.45, was the fourth highest in the nation, and also well above the national average of 4.42 percent.
The 2003 increases in personal income, capital gains, and sales tax rates contributed to the decline in New York's freedom score, the study said. New York's above-average taxes are one of the biggest variables pulling the state's ranking down, McQuillan added.
New Yorkers would experience more economic freedom if one set of taxes was "taken off the board," McQuillan said. Some states have no sales or individual tax, allowing for more individual economic freedom, he noted.
McQuillan also said that New York could improve its score by identifying the industries most important to the state and working to remove regulations hindering that industries production and growth.
Kansas, which ranked number 10 on the 1999 index, jumped to the number one state this year. Rounding out the top five are Colorado, Virginia, Idaho, and Utah, respectively. Illinois, Rhode Island, Connecticut, California, and New York are ranked as the bottom five.
The Northeast states, overall, proved to be the least economically free, along with the Midwest, the study found.
This is the third time within two months New York's
economic climate has fared poorly in major studies.
An Oct. 14 study from the non-partisan Tax Foundation, the "State Business Tax Climate Index," concluded that New York's "tax climate" for business ranks 49th, ahead of only Hawaii's. That study said the 10 states ranked at the bottom of the list, including New York, tend to have more complex tax codes at above-average rates with few expenditure controls.
On Oct. 7, the Small Business Survival Index ranked New York State only 45th in an analysis of states' hospitality to small businesses and entrepreneurs. The Survival Index found New York performed badly in comparison to the nation in a range of variables similar to those used in the Economic Freedom Index, including: state and local taxes, major cost of job creation, spending on government employment, and regulatory flexibility.
The PRI study can be found at www.pacificresearch.org.

Bad Dentist vs. Dick Cheney
Let's look at this just purely statistically. Four out of five dentists surveyed recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum. So, there is one out of five dentists who say 'You chew gum? Ah, why not put sugar in it?' These are not the best dentists, OK that's 20 percent. He's not even getting all the dentists who recommend sugared gum.

In case you were wondering.
-- John Edwards, yesterday on Meet the Press, when asked by Tim Russert if he was planning on running for president.
However, the most recent White House plan to solve the nation's ills isn't going to help; a return of the line item veto.
There are two major reasons why this is a non-starter. First, in lesser order, this President hasn't vetoed a single bill. For a guy who supposedly believes in "big ideas" -- here's one, try vetoing a bill you oppose. (When you've done that, then we can talk about a line item veto.) Of course, the second reason is also a bit of a roadblock as well, namely that the Supreme Court has found that the line item veto is unconstitutional and that it would require a Constitutional Amendment. The Court stated back in 1998 that "there is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to enact, to amend or to repeal statutes." That, of course, is a bit of a problem in implementing the idea. (Although, in their defense, I do believe that it is the current White House position that the Constitution only applies to the President when he says it does – so maybe this all makes some twisted sense under White House logic.)
I think that instead of trying to float these absolute non-starter trial balloons that the White House should be more concerned with Iraq, rebuilding New Orleans or reigning in a budget deficit that is getting out of control. But then again, given how incompetent they have been at addressing those items to date, maybe it is a good thing for the country that they are having flashbacks to the 80s.

Why 34% Won't Be The Lowest Number Junior Sees this Month
SAWYER: But given the fact that everyone anticipated a hurricane [Category] Five, a possible hurricane Five hitting shore, are you satisfied with the pace at which this is arriving? And at which it was planned to arrive?
BUSH: Well, I fully understand people wanting things to have happened yesterday. I mean, I understand the -- anxiety of people on the ground. I can imagine -- I just can't imagine what it's like to be waving a sign that says, "Come and get me now." So there is frustration. But I want people to know there is a lot of help coming. I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees. They did anticipate a serious storm. But these levees got breached, and as a result, much of New Orleans is flooded. And now we are having to deal with it and will. (emphasis added)
Then this:
I don't think any model can tell you with any confidence right now whether the levees will be topped or not but that is obviously a very, very grave concern.
The last statement was given by Max Mayfield from the National Weather Service on August 29th to a video conference which included the President. And it certainly sounds to me that someone anticipated a possible levee breach. (Of course, no one said "Mr. President the levees will breach!", but you would hope that he would get the message nonetheless.)
(You can watch the video here.)
Somehow I think that the WH will be looking fondly at the Cheney shooting story by the end of the month. These guys can't do anything right when it comes to governing. I think that's sinking in to both independents and GOPers now.

Optimistic or Delusional?
VARGAS: I am going to ask about a poll, just the most recent poll that's out today that does have your approval rating at an all-time low for your administration. You don't care about that, but you have talked a lot about political capital, the importance of it, the value of it, your intention to use it. Do you think you have political capital right now?Now, of course he isn't going to come out and say what is the current reality-- that his administration is in a world of hurt and even Republicans are beginning to realize that there is no grand plan to solve the current mess. But you do have to wonder if he really believes this and if he is in such a bunker that no one is able to tell him that he is in real danger of having no political capital left.
BUSH: I've got ample capital and I'm using it to spread freedom and to protect the American people, plus we've got a strong agenda to keep this economy growing.
Indeed if you read the whole interview, you wonder if the President is keeping in touch with reality out there. You would think at some point that this guy would acknowledge that there are problems. I guess in the bunker everything is rosy.

So far all I have been seeing is a lot of background on what Apple is and what's happening with it's stores and users. The brought out a toy race track. Then they came onto Mac.
And then, perusing TNW twitter feed, I came across this. If you've been following my blog the last week (at least) you may understand why I am a little bit freaked out by the iOS X … Mavericks. Mavericks.
Let me say this one more time… MAVERICKS. Out of all the names they could have come up with… MAVERICKS.
See why I'm a little bit freaked?
Mavericks is said to have all-day battery life. Mavericks will include tagging for easier file finding and it is also supposedly going to have multiple displays.
Using a Mac in college (and college only, I don't use it for personal use), the dream of owning a Mac was shattered for a lot of reasons, namely that you could only have one application open at a time and the system just didn't impress me but this version of the iOS (putting the name aside) looks like it will be redeeming Mac for me.

$400 Food Aid Distributed to Flooded Village Homes in Roluos and Beng Donpa
Typhoon Ketsana, which affected 17 provinces in Cambodia, has left 36 people dead and an estimated US41 million dollars in damages. The National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) in Cambodia reports that these figures will rise. This US$41 million dollars only represents the damage to rice fields, homes and domestic animals. There are an estimated 1,000 schools damaged or destroyed. Roads to the 'Muskoka School' in rural Siem Reap district remained impassable for 2 weeks - some places flooded a meter or more. Damage to these roads are still under repair.
27,933 hectares of rice were damaged and hundreds of homes were destroyed with tens of thousands of families displaced - countless homes and villages still remain flooded presenting a serious threat of water-borne disease from the remaining stagnant water. 60,000 children in Cambodia die each year - many from waterborne diseases.
Yesterday, one of the children that I had visited in flooded Roluos village just this past weekend had died.
I arrived in Siem Reap on Tuesday, November 13th, and 2 days later, we made our first visit to flooded, impoverished homes in Roluos village in Bakong district. We went with a group of 11 people from the US - members of the Cambodian-American Community of Oregon (CACO). This group was led by friend, and Project Enlighten co-team member Chanly Bob. Chanly and his group had funded numerous bicycles for villages, orphanges, etc. They brought along some of these bicycles to Roluos to donate to the flooded families there. Our 'A Mine Free World Foundation' in Canada had raised $400 towards food for flooded families. So, in a wonderful, collaborative effort by both organizations - we heaped bicycles with food and presented them to these families.
A big thank you to CACO for donating 10 bikes to our very own Bike Bank Project (www.thebikebankproject.blogspot.com ) .
Over the weekend, we went out to Beng Donpa village, Slorkram Commune in Siem Reap district. This village consists of 5,735 people representing 1,180 families. Roads there were still flooded, as were many homes. "A Mine Free World Foundation' gave out food to over 100 of the poorest and most affected by flooding.
All this could not have been done without the help of 'Project Enlighten' university scholarship recipient Khemra Horm and her family. Khemra and her family had gone out and purchased all the food, divided it up into grocery-bag portions facilitating distribution. Khemra had pre-assessed and interviewed the most needy families. All families were given rice, tinned fish, soya sauce (staple for making soups) and packaged instant noodles. A portion of the money was also used to buy used clothing for some of the poorest.
Many thanks for the support of those who supplied the funds for this relief. A special thanks to the women from Daphne's Drop-in at the Women's Resource Center in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, who raised $150 for these direct relief efforts.
There are many more in these, and similar villages, who still need your help coping with the aftermath of Typhoon Ketsana. Details are in the blog entry below on how you can support these direct relief efforts through 'A Mine Free World Foundation', a registered non-profit organization in Canada - for details see: www.aminefreeworld.org .
Let me take a moment and tell you about two families in particular in Beng Donpa village. Our distribution efforts throughout this village were authorized by village leader Meak Chan Monyrom, who accompanied us as we trekked on foot from home to home via flooded village roads.
One family - the large Joeun family - lives in a small, flooded hut pieced together by bamboo and tarp fragments. The family, and their home are pictured at the right. As you can see, the father is a landmine victim. The family survives by selling recyclable garbage that they collect. They had barely any belongings in their small, flooded home. None of the children go to school. They don't have the small 'fee' it costs to enroll, nor do they have the money for the required school uniform, pencils, notebooks, etc. Whatever money they scrape together goes for food to feed the family.
At the center of the Joeun family photo, you will see little 11-year-old Sampeos (in the red shirt). She has not started school yet. "A Mine Free World Foundation' is dedicated to providing assistance to landmine victims and their families. To get little Sampeos started in school for the year would only cost US$30 - $10 for 2 school uniforms, $5 for teacher 'fee' and $15 for a school bag and school supplies. Sampeos has already been designated to receive a bicycle through the Bike Bank Project. She just needs a sponsor to get her started in school. Please consider supporting her education.The two charming Joeun identical twins are too young to start school this year, but will be able to next year.
'A Mine Free World Foundation' has a special program called 'Vanna's Fund', which provides financial assistance towards the education expenses for landmine victims and their families. It is named after Vanna, who lost her leg to a landmine at the age of eight. Maria van Santen, author and founder of 'A Mine Free World Foundation', was touched by Vanna;s story and wrote the children's book 'Vanna's Dance'. Vanna is now 17 and resides here in Siem Reap, Cambodia where she is enrolled in grade 11. Her education and living expenses are supported through 'Vanna's Fund'. Vanna will now also be helping other young landmine victims who are supported through 'Vanna's Fund'.
Cambodia is a mine-infested country plagued by an estimated 5 million landmines. The Cambodian Mine/UXO Victim Information System (CMVIS) reports 199 deaths from landmines for the period of January to September 2009. Most victims are farmers working the fields or children playing in the fields. Many more are maimed by these explosive remnants of war.
The second family depicted in this blog entry is that of 9-yr-old Peon and his grandmother. Peon lives in a small, flooded bamboo hut. Peon has just started grade one. When I met this bright, friendly boy, I was immediately concerned with what were large, swollen glands or ducts under his eyes. There was also an infected discharge coming out of the corners of his eyes. Through translation, I found out that Peon was born with this large swelling under the eyes and that he also had been taken to the Angkor Children's Hospital where he had received free treatment. The hospital here has referred him for free specialized treatment in Phnom Penh, but Peon's family lacks the money for transportation to Phnom Penh and the possible need for accompanying family accommodation as well. This is so, so often the case in Cambodia. There are excellent hospitals providing free expert treatment for children in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, but most often the case rural families lack the money for transportation to the hospital. So, often children suffer with debilitating conditions, or worse yet, die from lack of medical attention.
Volunteer work in Cambodia is often an emotional struggle of mixed feelings. There are many rewarding instances where a smile can be brought to a child's face with the smallest gesture of kindness, hope or offer of help. But, there are also the times where you are unable to help, and walking away is a difficult thing.
On the horizon, there are yet many more rewarding moments to come here in Cambodia! There are many more Bicycles to be given out to needy students - thanks in big part to the generosity of fellow-Rotarians from the Orillia Rotary Club in Ontario, Canada, who recently donated $2,000 to 'A Mine Free World Foundation' for the Bike Bank Project in Cambodia - that will mean 40 bikes for needy kids in the districts of Siem Reap and Kep, Cambodia. More exciting news soon regarding the Bike Bank Project, the Bakong Technical School Project, the 'Embracelets' Project, and a visit by 20 district 7070 Rotarians from Canada!

Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
Excellent, without a doubt. Its emotional whallop and its importance to the arc make it one of the best, if not the best. Z'Ha'Dum is the only one I can think of off-hand that can match it.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
I am not 100% sure on this but did Delenn's forces arrive just after the second group or were they standing by in hyperspace? Based on something JMS said about Delenn knowing Sheridan would want to have a clean fight, I think she may have arrived during the first wave but held off entering the battle because it would create political problems for Sheridan. However, once Sheridan made his stand, the important thing was to stop that second wave of ships which B5 simply did not have the power to repel. That is my interpretation on what happened but as I said, I am not 100% clear on it. I think I like it a bit more than the other possibility which would be that Delenn just happened to arrive at the right moment.
As a side note, I think the opening of the episode where the Narn customs guard turns Londo's words against him is hilarious.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
In Endgame, Delenn was at the head of the alien fleet. They remained in hyperspace while Sheridan led the collected forces of Earth ships and White Stars against Earth's orbital defense platform network. Sheridan didn't want to be seen as bringing an alien fleet to conquer Earth, so Delenn and the alien fleet stayed away until after Sheridan got the message from the Earth Senator that Clark had set the orbital defense platform network to fire at Earth itself. Sheridan then called Delenn and her fleet in to help take out the remaining platforms.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
No, I know that happened in Endgame but the arrival of Delenn's forces in Severed Dreams seemed too perfect for them to have just gotten there. Without Sheridan asking her to engage at that time, I think Delenn decided to jump to normal space when that second wave arrived.
From JMS speaks on Severed Dreams
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
Absolutely fucking flooring. The problem with many sci-fi shows is that space battles lack consequences. The tremendous build up and reality of the situation made it such that when Earthforce vessels began firing on Earthforce vessels... it wasn't exciting, it wasn't intense, it was fucking tragic. Corwin innocently asking "What did we do wrong?" So sad. The whole episode was just so sad.
The offscreen death of Hague was kinda weak, but that can't be helped.
I would've liked to see more, but what could be cut out without detracting from the episode?
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
Wow, this episode has everything - action, politics, and character development. Though technical stuff and ships aren't my primary interest, I did think the FX and the filming of the battle sequences were spectacular.
Yes, civil war: "We know everyone we kill." It must be difficult to kill someone when you even know his cat's name! I watched the commentary to this a couple of days ago and remember JMS mentioning that the actor for the Major was mistakenly cast for the role - he had been thinking of someone else with a similar name, iirc. Still, I think this one does very well and brings the necessary presence to the character.
Again, we see Sheridan taking full and personal responsibility for his decisions - always a contrast to Londo's attitude. That decisiveness must win most of his officers to his side - only one laves C&C. They've been used to obeying the chain of command, now they too must decide which side they're on. Lt. Corwin, who couldn't previously imagine breaking that chain, makes his decision to side with the Captain. He must respect him very much to yield to his authority over that of EarthGov/military. He's been pictured as rather naive in previous episodes; now we can watch him maturing fast.
Am I the only one who thinks it's a strange play on words that *Mars* rejects *martial* law?!
It's almost impossible to choose a favourite scene - I love hearing the four top officers saying "fight" successively! But Delenn is really hard to top - she looks so strong, stern and determined in all of her scenes, a wonderful role model for girls! Seeing her lecture the various members of the Grey Council is moving, and when she breaks the staff as a symbol for breaking the council, it's a larger than life moment. (Reminds me very much of Gandalf breaking Saruman's staff in the book Lord of the Rings, as a sign that his power is broken.)
Sheridan and his father are great as well - we were already introduced to his caring nature when the Captain mentioned him making it rain so he could sleep in a previous episode. His motto "Never start a fight, but always finish it" is deeply significant. Knowing what happens later on, I find his words "If anyone comes for us..." prophetic.
Love the larger than life holo of Sheridan when he makes his announcement! Very symbolic...
Not only the unspoken farewell to his father is poignant, so is the look he and Ivanova exchange when she leaves to join the battle. I do like their relationship - they care deeply about each other without any sexual overtones. That's how it should be in the working world and so often, alas, is not.
The story is well written - just when they think it's all over and they just barely managed to survive with their last strength, the next wave of enemies comes. And Delenn's lines to the Earth forces are classics!
Several endings - the end of hostilities, then the look at the fallen, then the applause scene, and the chilling last shot of the traitor poster.
This is definitely one of the best episodes, the best so far, only to be topped by a very few of those to come.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
For all the bluster about "alien threats" in Earthgov propaganda, Earthgov's real plans seemed to center around consolidating what they had in a tighter and tighter fist (and of course using fear of such threats to help that along)--their program was internally rather than externally directed. They might have beat up on some minor alien powers here and there (we don't hear of anything for sure, at least IIRC, but we did see them intervene in an alien civil war in order to gain a strategic presence in that sector), but unlike the Centauri, they weren't going on risky offensives in every direction, nor did they want to, at that point anyway. If the Centauri Republic were Nazi Germany in terms of foreign policy, Earth was more Franco's Spain--or Stalin's USSR, between Molatov-Ribbentrop and Barbarossa, when they could consolidate internal control and control of their "sphere" (which did include smaller invasions of some minor powers, like the Baltics and Finland) while staying out of a larger war with major powers.
It's interesting that Earth and Centauri, the two emerging Shadow proxies in their latest war cycle, took these fairly different directions under their influence. I wonder what Clark answered when Morden first asked him "what do you want?" It may have been a very different, but equally acceptable, answer to the Shadows. Londo, in so many words, wanted to conquer alien worlds; Clark wanted to "conquer" his own people. I suppose these are two facets of "the dream" that the Shadows promote.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
Of course, getting in a war with the Minbari could get all the colonies to rally behind Earthgov and really cement their control of the population--for as long as they lasted, though.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
Thing is, the superiority of the Minbari over Earthforce tech wasn't a secret. Clark - and the captains of those ships - knew they'd lose badly and quickly, and no one excepting Starfleet can afford to just throw away ships.
My thinking is that they probably had standing orders: take the station or blow it up if you can't take it. If any of the other big races show up, get out of there rather than risking an interstellar incident.
I'd imagine Morden probably had a hand in those orders. The Shadows wouldn't want that much attention at that phase.
Re: EpDis: Severed Dreams
This one is really great, from the beginning to the end. This is Babylon 5 at its very best. Also, I've commented elsewhere that some of the B5 special effects look a bit dated now, but when I watched this last night, I didn't notice that at all. There's so much SFX in this episode, but the whole thing looks entirely believable to me. Incidentally, I don't think I've mentioned this in any of my other comments, but I really like the look of the Earth ships. They're so clunky and utilitarian-looking, I love it. Great contrast with the more organic look of the Minbari ships.
There's just SO MUCH here to comment on, I don't even know what to say here ...
The first few scenes:
A bit of humor at the beginning, with Londo complaining about the inefficiency of the Narns in security and being held up by one such Narn who overheard him, but then it gets serious right away.
I like that we're taken inside the Alexander as it is being pursued by the Clarkstown. That's a pretty intense bit (I suppose most of this episode is), with the second in command trying to convince Major Ryan that they REALLY need to shoot at the ship pursuing them. Then they destroy the Clarkstown and Major Ryan talks about its captain, his family and his cat Max. He sums it up quite nicely with "That's what makes this war different than anything we've ever fought before: this time we know everyone we kill".
Lest we forget the Shadow war is also building, a ranger brings ill tidings from the non-aligned worlds. And G'Kar apparently likes to lurk around the docking area :p
A whole lot of stuff happens in quick succession regarding the stuff going on on Earth: we learn of the bombing on Mars, the colonies all seceding, chaos at ISN, ships on their way to take over B5, with or without the Alexander there ...
I love the "Fight or surrender?" scene and the holographic announcement where Sheridan tells everyone Babylon 5 is also seceding. It's really on now!
Also, the more quiet scene of Sheridan calling him to talk to his father which contrasts nicely with all the hectic scenes of everyone quickly preparing for the fight.
Then, Ivanova convincing Sheridan that she needs to go out there with the Star Furies, and the look they share when she goes out. It's serious.
The whole fight sequence is super intense, and although I know exactly what is going to happen, I still watch it on the edge of my seat. As Ellipsis said upthread this isn't just a space fight, it's a tragedy. It would probably feel like that if you only had this episode to go on, but with everything that's come before it's just incredibly intense and sad. The music is appropriately funereal, too.
Same for the inside fight scenes. That slow motion shot of all those Narn security guards running towards the fight and getting shot down .. wow.
And, in the midst of all that, there's this guy with a fire extinguisher putting out some flames in the background as Sheridan is talking to his crew. What a great little detail.
Delenn is of course totally amazing in this episode, taking on the Grey Council and Earth Force all in the same day. She's strong, determined, righteous, and not about to put up with anyone's crap. A pleasure to watch. Of course this gives her all the best lines. The "Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me." bit is legendary.
It's great to see Sheridan's short-lived relief when the station survived the battle, which turns to something more like resignation when more Earth vessels show up, and then even more jump points form right above the station.
I agree with the one poster on this thread who rated this episode a C on one thing only: the hand kissing at the end. I thought it was a tad cheesy, from an early 21st century point of view. But it's a VERY minor detail and I don't care that much. Also, there's no way to know what that sort of thing might mean in the 23rd century B5 universe. Various meanings have been associated with it in different places and different times. We haven't seen anyone else to this on the show, and with the relationship between the two growing, it's most likely something romantic, though. Sheridan was probably feeling a whole lot of gratitude towards Delenn as she saved the day. He might have been in a "I could just kiss you all over !!" sort of mood, but decided that probably the hand was the only acceptable location to actually kiss her :p
I like how the episode ends on the Night Watch "Traitors can't hide" poster too. Another nice little detail.
That was a bit of a chaotic posts, apologies for that. Like I said, there is just so much here to comment on!

A green labradorite partially polished on the front to reveal its lovely flashy iridescence as it catches the light, in a handmade rustic copper shadow box; the surface and interior of the box is partially enamelled with burnt cream enamel to give a distressed, chippy weathered surface.
The oxidized copper wire wrapped around the box keeps the stone in place without preventing some movement of the labradorite within it's box. The thick recycled leather chord is bronze coloured. The ends wrapped in copper. Closes with a hand forged copper hook
Labradorite comes alive when the light hits it in a certain way - revealing its peacock feather flashing. The focal is around 3 inches (7 1/2 cm) from top to bottom and around 1 3/4 inches (4 1/2 cm) wide.
My favourite Labradorite first people's legend is that long ago it trapped the Northern Lights - whilst some of the light was freed by a warrior, some remains trapped in the stone, giving it the unique flashing and depth.

I've been really enjoying getting to know jewelry designers and have some great features in queue. To mix things up a bit though, I am going to start featuring amazing antique collectors and sellers I've met. Everyone has a story, as does every piece of jewelry - I love hearing and then sharing those stories.
First up, a very cool lady - Kim of Estate Jewelry Mama. We became fast friends when she sent me a thank you message for sharing one of her Instagram photo - the message featured a photo of her cat. Also, I am always drawn to tattooed, punk rockers who also love antique jewels.
Kim started collecting vintage jewels long before she can remember. Her dad has been in the jewelry industry since she was born so she grew up loving the shiny and old. The start, as she recalls, was inheriting her choice of her Great Grandma's rings. Kim chose her 1913 class ring - probably the least valuable in her collection, but Kim was drawn to the antiquity and simplicity. Around that same time she was getting into thrift stores and punk rock - she has a large collection of gaudy vintage costume jewelry from thrift stores, antique malls and garage sales.
Estate Mama Jewelry came about because Kim and her parents have a large collection of vintage jewels and, similar to most parents, hers are not computer savvy. Her dad is a gemologist and her mom has a good eye for antique jewels. The three of them work together and Kim thought getting the collection online would be the best way to get the items to the ideal owner. Their goal is to get the pieces they love so much to people who will cherish them.
Kim's favorite era of antique jewelry? Victorian, more specifically Victorian Mourning jewelry. "I just can't seem to get enough of it, and in due time I will add more of these items to my personal collection."
Her favorite ring from the shop is also my favorite. Kim says. "I love our Victorian Mourning Ring with a weaved hair shank, diamonds and seed pearls. I actually put it on hold for a little while so it wouldn't sell. I probably shouldn't be writing this! But I grew attached and I would just keep it on my desk in my favorite box and periodically look at it."
There are as few ways that jewels are chosen for the Etsy shop. Kim shops estate sales and auctions. She pulls scrap gold items from her dad's wholesale business as well as a local pre-refinery that lets them pull and sort pieces. They see themselves as modern day treasure hunters!
Tips for starting your own collection: "There are so many beautiful items and great sellers on Instagram, I would really start there. The internet is great and wonderful, but as far as antique jewelry goes you can't find everything. It is an exclusive market because so much has been refined and melted down the past few years. The best advice I can give is, if you find an item you love grab it quick, because once its gone you may never see it again!"
Check out all of the items Estate Jewelry Mama has in stock here and follow her on Instagram to keep up with her finds!

Muhammed Babangida, son of former head of state, Gen Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (rtd), has finally opened up on his father's ill health to encomium.ng. He stated that IBB, as Babangida is also known, is still recuperating after a corrective surgery recently as a result of radiculopathy disease. He, however, allayed fears over the present health status of the former military dictator.
Speaking with encomium.ng on Thursday, April 21, 2016, Muhammed said, "It's nothing new that IBB has radiculopathy, everybody knows that. But he has just gone through a corrective surgery and he's recuperating at the moment. And if you will reason with me, being an old man it will take some time for the surgery to heal.
"Even, he's supposed to be at home resting. But he had to attend the valedictory service for the former Chief Judge of Niger state because of his relationship with him. That's the reason he stepped out few days ago."

It's simple to become a Rose City Software Affiliate. Just take a few minutes and sign up as a Rose City Affiliate. Enrollment takes just a few minutes and then you can begin earning commissions for sales of any of our great titles at Rose City right away! This unique system automatically wraps the installation file so that when installed, your Affiliate ID number is automatically encoded into the software's purchase links. No other system goes this far to insure the Affiliate gets credit for the sale.
Using the basic eSellerate system, you can download your Affiliate ID-tagged (EST) version of any of our great titles.
Just proceed to download eST versions through your affiliate account if you are planning on hosting the files and landing pages yourself. This is ideal for big websites which are accustomed to building webpages and hosting files, and for purveyors of CD-ROM collections.
Let us host your downloads for you using the ultimate eSellerate Hosted Downloads system. There you simply log on to your affiliate account at eSellerate and get your banners or special download links wrapped with your Affiliate ID which insures you get credit for each sale you generate. Or you can simply grab the link for the special landing page for each title which is also wrapped with your Affiliate ID.
Besides the hardcoded links in the downloaded software, eSellerate also now offers backup cookie tracking so even if your customer decides to use a link other than the buy link in the software to make his purchase, the cookies provide some additional insurance that each affiliate will receive credit for the sales attributed to their downloads.
Do not confuse this program with other so-called shareware affiliate programs which rely only on simple cookie tracking to get you credit for the sales you generate. There are just too many ways for the cookies to get munched, leaving you with only crumbs and no commissions. This exclusive new technology is much BETTER!
ESellerate also offers affiliates the option to promote our software for direct sale, instead of using the trial/shareware model. Some affiliates may find this produces more sales for their demographics and avoids the issue of needing to host the shareware downloads themselves. However, most affiliates will probably want to allow the customer to try it themselves first before ordering. This unique capability is a major advantage of our new affiliate program.
For more introductory information on the exciting and unique new Affiliates opportunity, visit eSellerate's Affiliate Information page.
Remember, merely placing a banner graphic on your webpage does not in itself assure much in the way of sales. Good promotion generates good sales. You can link to our store where there is indeed a brief explanation of what the software does. However, it is intentionally kept very brief at that point. By actively promoting your affiliate software and linking to an actual landing page for the software, you can give your website visitor more information and persuade him to download or purchase the software for himself.
This is where the exclusive affiliate landing pages (explained above) shine. Just link to us and we take care of the rest!
That's all there is to it! It costs you nothing to join, there is no risk and it works! Why not recommend our great shareware products to your friends? They'll thank you for helping them improve their computing productivity, and you'll make money on every sale!
Once you have signed up as an affiliate and have your eSellerate Affiliate ID, you can go login to your account at eSellerate and grab your links there.
Remember, if you are planning to take the direct sale approach rather than offering trial versions of our software, you simply need to get your Affiliate ID-tagged purchase URL from eSellerate for each product you want to be an affiliate for, and use the direct sale sample affiliate pages linked from each product information page above.

Getting younger looking skin seems to be the goal of every woman in the beauty and healthcare aisle in the health store. The reason for most women deciding to try out skincare products is because many experience premature aging on their skin, where they are starting to look older than their ages. With premature skin aging, 25-year-olds can look to be in their 30s if they don't take care of their skin properly. While skin aging is natural to a certain degree, aging is accelerated due to an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise as well as external factors like UV rays from the sun, smoke, smog, and pollution. Experts recommend using a quality anti-aging cream like BioSilk which is made from powerful ingredients and gives results in a matter of weeks. The manufacturers of this product also state on their website that it can help you achieve visibly younger looking skin.
Defining Collagen:
Collagen is a protein that makes up 30% of all proteins in the body as well as over 70% of the skin. There are over 16 types of collagen which are divided into Type I, Type II and Type III. The collagen which is produced in the fibroblasts of the skin are Type I and Type III whereas Type II collagen is produced to lubricate your joints.
In the skin, collagen is essential as it is the main building block of the skin. It's used to create and repair skin tissue which helps give your skin the firmness, suppleness, elasticity, and hydration it requires to look younger.
Unfortunately, as we get older, the levels of collagen decline with signs of aging becoming visible from your mid-20s. The levels of collagen decrease due to aging as the body naturally produces less of the protein as the years go by. Another reason for the decline in collagen levels is due to collagen breakdown caused by the Matrix Metalloproteinase's (MMP's) enzyme in the body that is naturally produced as you get older. Together, these causes of the reduction in collagen levels lead to wrinkles and fine lines along with weaker and sagging skin.
The Signs Of Aging On The Skin:
There are some signs of aging that start to appear on the skin as you cross your mid-20s and begin approaching 30. These signs of skin aging can cause you to look older than your age but can be countered by using a high-quality anti wrinkle cream like BioSilk Cream, eating a healthy diet and having a regular exercise plan.
The list of signs of aging to keep an eye out for includes:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dry and damaged skin complexion
- Skin sagging
- Blemish
- Skin discoloration
- Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes
- Dull skin tone
- Age spots
BioSilk Renewal Moisturizer:
BioSilk Renewal is a powerful collagen booster which helps slow and reverse signs of aging from your skin. This anti-aging cream helps to moisturize the skin by promoting skin hydration using ingredients that stimulate collagen production in the fibroblasts found in the skin's connective tissue. The ingredients utilized in this premium skin care product include peptides, whole collagen molecules, and antioxidants. These ingredients help your skin health by boosting the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Increased collagen production levels can have many advantages for your skin including better skin repair, enhanced skin cell regeneration, skin rejuvenation and improved skin hydration. The boost in the levels of elastin allows an increase in the elasticity of the skin which helps give you firmer and tighter skin. The increase in elasticity of the skin also helps prevent loss of moisture from the microfractures by tightening the skin to reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles.
The whole collagen molecules used in this skin care product are better equipped to penetrate the layers of the skin when compared to fragmented hydrolyzed collagen molecules used in most other skin care products. The improved penetration of the skin tissue helps BioSilk Renewal Moisturizer work to reverse skin aging from the cellular level. This contributes to giving you younger looking skin faster than some other brands.
The peptides in BioSilk Cream are blended using a proprietary formula that was designed by experts to help stimulate the fibroblasts into producing more collagen and elastin. The peptides also contain amino acids which are essential for the health of the skin, further reducing signs of aging.
Another ingredient in this moisturizer is the antioxidants which help protect the skin cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules with a missing electron in their orbit. When free radicals interact with the skin, they strip the missing electron from the skin cells, causing damage to the skin. Free radicals are also known to damage elastin proteins, causing a further decline in skin health. Antioxidants combine with free radicals to leave them inert and harmless to your skin. Free radicals can be found in the environment with sun rays and the UVA and UVB rays being the most harmful to the skin.
Benefits Of BioSilk:
Many skin care products in the market are known to exaggerate the benefits of their products, but the manufacturer of BioSilk Renewal have made sure that you can truly achieve the benefits they mention on the official website. They have even stated that this anti-aging cream can help you achieve visibly younger looking skin which has been tried by thousands of men and women with positive results.
The benefits of BioSilk as mentioned include:
- Helps to revitalize and rejuvenate aging skin.
- Produced using age defying ingredients.
- Contains vitamins and a peptide-rich blend.
- Can be utilized for all skin types.
- Helps alleviate skin irritation.
- Helps combat free radical damage with antioxidants.
- Fights the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Boosts skin hydration with increased collagen levels.
- Increases the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
- Ideal product for those with sensitive skin as well as dry skin.
- Reduces blemish spots.
- Reduces and eliminates puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
- Provides skin with firmness needed to look younger.
- Can help reduce oily skin.
- Reduces signs of aging by helping to tighten the skin.
- Contains no side effects.
- Can be ordered online from the manufacturer's website.
The Cost Of BioSilk Cream:
The makers of this anti aging cream have strived to make BioSilk Renewal as affordable as possible. They have also released the product with a trial offer which can help give people the opportunity to try the product for a period before paying. However, if you order online, you have to pay shipping and handling cost of $4.95 so that BioSilk Cream can be delivered to your doorstep in a few business days. There is another constraint with getting the trial offer which is the limit of 1 trial per customer.
Thousands of men and women around the world have tried this new anti-aging cream with positive reviews which can be seen on the manufacturer's website.
