13.20 Endstone Fantasy Webcomic Comic
Endstone is a fantasy webcomic, comic, graphic novel with post-apocalyptic tendencies.
Deer don't strike me as being particularly "huggy."
Love the expression on Kyri's face in the last panel!
By the way, is there a list or guide somewhere to all of the Stones that have appeared so far in Endstone?
Not as far as i know, but some of us try to keep track. :p
Aside from Megareck, no new stone in a long while so far.
We should start a wiki.
Done and done.
Everybody start puking information all over it.
End of Line
Will do, thanks. 🙂
Just created, as template staring points, 2 pages : Kyri Thunderhead and Dragonstone (the overstone). Not sure how to make them visible to the wiki, though, i'm not familiar with wiki editing… 😉
Also, who's the stupid that stole my wikia username in 2 of its forms ? And i know it's stolen, as i can't recieve the password reminder e-mail…
An annoying issue us internet denizens must face – username sniping. Us Darths have it pretty bad.
End of Line
Kyri should probably have charmed him to sleep instead of charming him to friendship. :-°
Is that not kinda like lighting him into sleep or friendship using hte Lightstone?
For all thier power, stones are rather limited in thier scope
Depends both on the stone and its user. With Pablo being such a versatile and powerful Lightstone master, i think he was more afraid of the risks with lowering his guard even for a sligth moment rather than the strength of the light bubble itself.
For some reason, the charmstone (and the mindstone) makes me more uncomfortable than all others.
Well, sure. The others can only kill or maim, the Charmstone controls you like a glorified sock puppet – and leaves you with full memory of what happened after the fact. I'd personally rate it as one of the most dangerous of all Overstones for that very reason.
Hell, even the Headstone basically kills the target as far as said target is concerned.

Chapter 4: LOCAL CULTURE, POPULAR CULTURE, AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPES
Essential Question
What are local and popular cultures?
Essential Question
How are Local Cultures Sustained?
Essential Question
How can Local and Popular Cultures be seen in the Cultural Landscape?
Folk Culture
incorporates a small homogenous population, is rural with cohesive cultural traits
Tradition controls
Resistance to change
Claim Uniqueness
Local culture
People who see themselves as a community
"Folk" is too limiting
Large, heterogeneous groups
embrace cultural traits such as music, dance, clothing, and food preference that change frequently and are ubiquitous on the cultural landscape.
local <----->popular
Belief systems, norms, and values practiced by a people.
Nonmaterial culture: Beliefs, practices, aesthetics, values
Material culture: Constructed items, frequently expressing nonmaterial culture
Establishment of neighborhoods, construction of places of worship and community centers
Beijing, China
Madonna wearing a red string Kabbalah bracelet.
How do cultural traits from local cultures become part of popular culture?
Hearth: the point of origin of a cultural trait.
Contagious diffusion
Hierarchical diffusion
How do cultural traits diffuse?
2.1 Exit Slip
Employing the concept of hierarchical diffusion, describe how you became a "knower" of your favorite kind of music— where is its hearth, and how did it reach you?
Assimilation policies
force people of indigenous cultures to adopt dominant cultures
Native Americans and language
Preservation of customs:
Practices that people routinely follow
Maintained despite popular culture
Local Cultures often have two goals:
1. keeping other cultures out.
(ie. create a boundary around itself)
2. keeping their own culture in.
Avoiding cultural appropriation to keep control over their own culture
Shanghai 1990 vs. 2012
Urban and Rural Local Cultures
Rural Local Cultures
Common economic activity among members
Little Sweden, USA (Lindsborg, KS)
seeking out the regional culture and reinvigorating it in response to the uncertainty of the modern world.
Urban Local Cultures
Ethnic neighborhoods within cities
Creates a space to practice customs
Can cluster businesses, houses of worship, schools to support local culture
Migration into ethnic neighborhoods can quickly change an ethnic neighborhood
Process of making something that was not previously bought and sold a commodity in the marketplace
Material culture objects for sale to outsiders
Question of authenticity of places
Mystical images
Creation of identity from cultural traits
Irish Pub Company Pubs
Irish Pub Company and Guinness Brewing Company created 5 models of pubs and export them around the world.
4.2 Exit Slip
What is the last place you went to or the last product you purchased that claimed to be "authentic?" What are the challenges of defending the authenticity of this place or product while refuting the authenticity of other similar places or products?
Essential Question
How Is Popular Culture Diffused?
Distance-decay: More interaction between closer places than between more distant places
Time-space compression: Interaction dependent on connectedness among places
Hearths of Popular Culture Traits
Typically begin with an idea or good and contagious diffusion
Creation or manufacture of popular culture by
Companies (for example, MTV)
Individuals (for example, Dave Matthews)
Stemming the Tide of Popular Culture
Rapid diffusion of popular culture from major hearths
United States
Government subsidies: Media in local languages
Dominant cultures of wealthy countries: Fundamentalism
Minorities in wealthy countries: Cultural preservation
Typically begins with an idea/good and contagious diffusion.
Companies can create/manufacture popular culture. (ie. MTV)
Individuals can create/manufacture popular culture. (ie. Tony Hawk)
How are hearths of
popular culture traits established?
Satellite Television, Baja California
Often Destroys Folk Culture – or preserves traditions as museum pieces or tourism gimmicks.
Mexican Mariachis; Polynesian Navigators; Cruise Line Simulations
Change in Traditional Roles and Values; Polynesian weight problems
Problems with the Globalization of Culture
Disconnect with landscape: indoor swimming pools? desert surfing?
Surfing at Disney's Orlando Typhoon Lagoon
Are places still tied to local landscapes?
The Internet is diffusing today, but access varies widely.
Internet Connections
Fig. 4-3: This mental map places major hip hop performers near other similar performers and in the portion of the country where they performed.
A Mental Map of Hip Hop:
Why are popular culture traits usually diffused hierarchically?
How is fashion in popular culture an example of hierarchical diffusion?
Think about your local community (your college campus, your neighborhood, your town). Determine how your local community takes one aspect of popular culture and makes it your own.
4.3 Exit Slip
Convergence of Cultural Landscapes
Cultural landscape - Visible human imprint on the land
Placelessness: Similarity of places of popular cultures everywhere
Complex network of roads and highways
Commercial Structures tend towards 'boxes'
Planned and Gated Communities more and more common
The hearth of Phish concerts is in the northeastern United States, near where the band began in Vermont.
Convergence of Cultural Landscapes:
The widespread distribution
of businesses and products
creates distinctive landscape
stamps around the world.
Borrowing of idealized landscape images blurs place distinctiveness
Venetian, Main Street USA, etc.
Cultural Landscapes of Local Cultures
Persistence of local cultural landscapes
Presence along "back roads" of wealthy countries
4.4 Exit Slip
Focus on the cultural landscape of your community. Think about the concept of placelessness. Determine whether your community is a "placeless place" or if the cultural landscape of your community reflects the unique identity of the place.
Global Local Continuum
scale is no longer important
McDonalds, Starbucks, Pop Culture in the Arab World

Looking for information about Pure Profit Pro?
Cool… Today you can learn about what's been happening with the program, and what the forecast looks like for 2017.
How to Build Pure Profit Pro in 2017
First things first, this article is not a review of PPP. If you want to read a more in depth overview then you can click this link to read a more detailed review.
What I really want to focus on in this article is how to build Pure Profit Pro in 2017 an earn yourself at least 25k or more aside from whatever it is you're currently doing.
So how do you make money in Pure Profit Pro?
It's actually very simple.
However, most people like to over-complicate things.
Let's say your goal is to earn an extra $25,000 in 2017 on the side of whatever it is you currently do for a living, right…
First you have to know your numbers.
Pure Profit Pro has 3 different product packages that all pay out 100% commissions.
Those 3 packages are $250 – $500 – and $1000 (that you will earn).
So now, if you wanted to make 25k in 2017, you'd simply have to make 1 – $1000 sale every other week.
That's just 2 sales a month.
Don't you think that with the proper training and the best marketing tools that you could learn how to generate 2 sales a month?
Of course you could.
How to Market Pure Profit Pro in 2017
Your marketing strategy is up to you.
However, we do have specific strategies that we recommend. I won't go into a lot of detail on that right now, but I will at least give you a few examples of things you could be doing to generate leads and sales.
- Voice Broadcasting
There's plenty of different "done for you" vendors out there where you could market your Pure Profit Pro business. But if you're anything like me and like to be more in control of your own process, then you might want to use your own tool.
==> This is the tool that I use for Voice Broadcasting
Imagine being able to contact thousands of potential prospects for 2 cents or less. That's the power of voice broadcasting. It's also exactly why people still use it to this very day. (Despite what some say...)
2. Ringless Voicemail Marketing
Ringless Voicemail is still pretty fresh on the scene. It's very similar to Voice Broadcasting, except this time the advertising that you do for your Pure Profit Pro business will go directly to the end user's voicemail box on their cell phone.
This software bypasses the ringing mechanism on all cell phones and "drops" your message right into their voicemail. That's why some people call them ringless voicemail drops.
3. Solo Ads/e-Zines
Solo ads are not my area of expertise, but I can say that if you want to get a large amount of leads fast looking at your business then solo ads will definitely get the job done.
Although, in my own experience, the true challenge with solo ads is converting those leads into sales.
The big problem (in my opinion) with solo ads marketing for a top tier/high ticket program like Pure Profit Pro is that you need more contact information.
Typically, whenever someone runs a solo ad all they collect is the email addresses of their potential prospects. Thru email alone it can be a little bit difficult to build rapport.
If you want to develop that KNOW-LIKE-TRUST element that is so vital to your success then it's best you have a means of contacting your leads by phone AFTER they've requested info on your Pure Profit Pro business.
I could really write an entire blog post about this subject alone.
If you decide to join I will school you more in depth on solo ads.
And I almost forgot to mention that in order to run any form of paid traffic you should own your own auto responder service.
==> This is the one that I recommend.
Social Media and Pure Profit Pro
Learning how to properly utilize social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so forth is truly a science.
Also, it's important to keep in mind that trying to learn every platform before you've mastered one is just dumb in my opinion.
Trying to learn and master multiple marketing strategies at once in most cases always turns out to be counterproductive.
So while I will admit that social media can be extremely powerful, you have to learn the art of Attraction Marketing to truly thrive with social media.
This is something else I can discuss further with you when you join the team.
Just remember this.... social media was developed for the purpose of "socializing".
Not spamming your business opportunities all day long.
Pure Profit Pro in 2017
As far is Pure Profit Pro goes... I don't see it going anywhere.
The 4th quarter of 2016 was the strongest quarter for the business.
Lots of new people got started toward the end of the year, and even those who had strayed noticed the buzz and began coming back over to Pure Profit Pro.
There's Not Really Any Competition...
As far as your success goes in home based business, Pure Profit Pro, or online marketing in general.
Here's a secret...
There's really not as much competition as you'd think.
Reason being - people have short attention spans and an extreme lack of focus.
You could join Pure Profit Pro today, and by the end of 2017 some of the people in the business will have already joined 5 to 10 new programs.
So there's really no competition.
Your only real challenge in making money with Pure Profit Pro is you.
Focus on lead generation.
Focus on following up with those leads.
And focus on becoming a more persuasive person in general... and you can't lose!

We have magazines, books, films, tvs, and comic books that display hundreds of beautiful women more than men.
I would like to know if some of you find these media empowering for women? Exploiting women materially? Or giving you an unrealistic view of the 'typical' male fantasy?
It is, in some ways, an unrealistic view of a male fantasy. In a study from TIME Magazine (a 2003 issue, I don't remember which one), 76% of men surveyed in North America (mainly Canada and the U.S) admit fantasizing about their perfect female partner, which was described as "magazine worthy" or "media worthy". But, most people don't look like these women, and in many magazines and ads, the models are airbrushed to cover "imperfections" in their bodies.
I have always detested the media's portrayal of women, in many degrees. Lately I have seen more and more ads, with female models, and NONE of them were of what we would call "average". They all looked delicate, tanned, thin, and cosmetically enhanced. And it bothers me that some people will see that and think "Wow, she's beautiful", but when in reality nobody looks like that.
The important question is whether or not you buy into this pressure and objectification. Magazines don't have to be bought, and the TV does have an off button. I can see both lines of the divide by the sheer chance of being attracted to both men and women. The "standard" is beautiful woman are stylish waifs with zero imperfections and "good-looking" or "beautiful" men are Abercrombie & Fitch clones with damned-near impossible to acheive perfect abs and completely sclupted bodies.
What I personally find attractive physically in others doesn't always tend t fall inside the idea of the mainstream, as I'm sure a great many others can relate to. I don't immediately find someone who doesn't fit into the mold physically unattractive, and I don't discount any one who does fall into the mold, either.
The thing is, the media keeps putting out those images because they sell. It's hard to blame the media for continually going with a form that works, because some of the fault for the objectification falls back into the hands of consumers, who keep tuning in and buying the magazines and product.
I also think that some of the allure that has kept this whole cycle going is the idea of lusting after the "unattainable." A lot of philsophers believe that desire is one of the ultimate moving forces behind human nature, and once we gain something we want, the desire is gone and therefore, a sizeable chunk of the pleasure we gleaned from that object. The beauty-standards stay in place because we tend to want what we think we can't have, and often physically can't acheive in a manner that is healthy (dangerously excessive dieting, plastic surgery, etc.), so we can subconsciously keep desiring that object.
Ultimately, there's a lot to chew on in this topic, and more tangents than you can count to go off on, but where all of it really lies is whether or not you're willing to continually buy into what you see. If it offends you, turn it off, throw it out, or distance yourself from it. If enough people do that, then eventually the current norm will morph and move into something else.
Those are my $.02 anyway.

Dr. Rampton loves dentistry, almost as much as he loves Alaska! He spent twenty of his dental years as a practicing dentist with the United States Air Force. Then in 2001, soon after retiring from his military service, Dr. Rampton began his own dental practice in Eagle River.
In 1981, he graduated from the University of Louisville in Kentucky with his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. Before that, he received a Bachelors of Science degree from Southern Utah State College, majoring in chemistry and minoring in zoology.
With extensive training in endodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics, and pediatric dentistry, Dr. Rampton is a well-rounded and experienced family dentist. However, it's the genuine optimism and big heart that are uniquely his that keep his patients coming back.

Animating a Procedural Texture
Maya 2012 Tutorial
How to Animate a Procedural Texture in Maya
Procedural Textures are generated mathematically and don't rely on bitmapped images. This means that they can be scaled without falling apart and because of the calculations they can become processor intensive.
In Maya you have several options for Procedural Textures. They include Bulge, Checker, Cloth, Fractal, Grid, Mountain, Noise, Ocean, Water, Brownian, Cloud, Crater, Granite, Leather, Marble, Rock, Snow, Solid Fractal, Stucco, Volume Noise and Wood.

text: I don't know if this is the right section but I'm gonna go ahead and say if falls under 'Console' discussion. There I was, playing Ocarina of Time 3D and messin' with the 3D slider, when I noticed something. I was looking at the horizon. With the slider all the way down (3D completely disabled) there is anti-aliasing on the edge of the mountains. However, slide the slider up at all (enable any amount of 3D) and the anti-aliasing goes away, leaving a jagged, pixel-y edge not only on the mountains but all the other 3D models in the game. So, 3D == no anti-aliasing between 3D models? Does this happen with other games? OoT is the only 3DS game I have at the moment.

How to Handle a Big Difference in the Ages of the Children and be Together
Words spoken and yelled over and over and over again:
"You guys cannot say that in front of your little brother!"
"You guys cannot play that video game in front of your little brother."
"You guys are playing too rough, you cannot wrestle with him the same way you do with each other and your friends."
"You guys, you know we cannot watch that movie for family movie night, it is not appropriate for your little brother."
"Julian, you cannot do that with your siblings, or that , or that, or that, or that, or that or that; those things are more appropriate for when you are older and some of the things I would be happy if you would never do."
The "arghhhhhhhh" moment when a path has to be chosen:
The dilemma is a large span between the ages and stages of your children and them co-existing in one home with a varying degree of suitable content allowed around one another. There is the age of playing with little action figures sprawled out on the floor and the teenage time when teenagers are testing boundaries and entering to an adultish world. Here are the choices to rectify much of the angst in this scenario.
- Separate and force individual hibernation locked away in a personalized, homogenous environment.
- Live together as a family and tell your youngest, "I know that you do not know what certain things mean when your brothers and sisters say something and then laughs, but you have to trust that it is not appropriate and please do not repeat these things. Otherwise, we have to separate and do separate things. Also tell the older children, that no one gets left behind and they need to compromise so that the younger ones will not be left out of activities.
This is how I chose my path:
I decided that separating them was not an option because it was not a habit that I wanted them to learn. How could I keep them a part at a younger age and then expect that they would naturally come together when they were older and all activities were age appropriate? It does not work that way. Their habits now will feed their future quite naturally and any desired changes will have to be re-taught and no one has time for that.
The Result:
The outcome was that they worked it out amongst themselves. In addition to taking some personal time to themselves, they play together. The eldest teach the youngest basketball moves, how to pass a football and wrestle in the grass until they are tired or someone gets hurt. They play Capture the Flag, they jump on the trampoline, they swim together and they go places together. They have fun together because they had to figure out a way to do that. The alternative was not an option primarily because none of them wanted it.
In regard to my part, fear would have created separate worlds for them.
Courage and desire for what I wanted in their relationship,in the long run, provided the direction of decision making.
Yes, Julian has seen and heard things that my eldest would never have been exposed to. However, exposure to his entire family at all ages took priority. Sometimes I still worry that he will repeat something out of context to a teacher, a friend or someone else; but he hasn't yet. I think he understands enough to never jeopardize the privilege of privileged information. Besides that he is probably too busy telling his friends how his knee got so scrapped up over the weekend or showing them the best way to throw a football.
Family Lesson # too many to count:
Teach your children today what you want their relationship to be with each other in the future and provide the environment so they can practice it. They need to hear it and feel it.
Love, Ivy L.

Scars are permanent markings on the body that occur once some type of injury to the skin has healed. Scars appear in varying degrees of severity, and when on the face could cause a person to feel uncomfortable or unhappy with his or her appearance. Dr. Ronald Caniglia of Facial Plastic Surgery offers scar revision surgery at his Scottsdale, Arizona practice to help soften the appearance of scars on the face. The procedure is safe, and Dr. Caniglia has the experience and talent to provide natural-looking, beautiful results. Patients can regain confidence in their appearance with newly smooth, flawless facial skin. To learn more about scar revision, contact our Scottsdale practice today, proudly serving Paradise Valley and Phoenix patients.
Before beginning the procedure, Dr. Caniglia will meet with you to discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your condition, and establish the best course of action to meet your needs. As all scars are different, he will recommend the technique that will be most effective in reducing your particular scar, such as simple excision, Z-plasty, W-plasty, skin grafting, or geometric line closure. Scar revision generally entails:
In some cases, for minor scarring, Dr. Caniglia may instead recommend topical skin treatments, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser therapy.
Patients may require up to seven days of downtime before returning to work or other everyday activities, depending on the extent of the treatment. Dr. Caniglia will provide detailed post-operative instructions that patients should follow to ensure the best possible outcome. Results gradually improve over time, and scars should be completely blended with surrounding tissues approximately one year after the surgery. More than one procedure or technique may be required for optimal results.
The best way to learn whether you are a candidate for scar revision surgery is to meet with Dr. Caniglia for a consultation. Ideal candidates include individuals that:
Scar revision surgery is considered safe; however, as with all surgeries, there is the possibility of risks such as bleeding, skin sensitivity, or discoloration. Most patients experience some swelling or discomfort immediately after the procedure; however, symptoms subside after a week and can be relieved with pain medication. Dr. Caniglia will inform you of what to do should you encounter any complications. Due to Dr. Caniglia's experience and skill, there is very little chance of serious problems occurring.
If you are bothered by the appearance of facial scars, Dr. Caniglia has a solution. The decision to undergo scar revision surgery is one you should take seriously and make for your own personal reasons. It is recommended that you are well informed of your options before commencing.

Chapter Eighteen
by KatLyn
See Chapter One for disclaimers.
The shadowed figure in the Camaro across the street sat watching as lights turned on in one of the front rooms of the house. Not wanting to press his luck, he sat in the darkened car and patiently waited. You have to sleep sometime ladies, and when you do, I'll be there to wish you pleasant dreams...long eternal dreams. He silently cursed himself for his sloppiness earlier in the evening. Logan McGregor was proving to be harder to handle than he had once believed. Now, since appointing herself the personal bodyguard of the doctor, he was finding it difficult to catch the small blonde alone. McGregor has to be first. If I get her out of my way, the rest will be a piece of cake.
Deciding to give up earlier in the day after driving by the crowd of uniformed cops at the house in Bridgeville, he had driven to the outskirts of town and patiently waited, knowing the detective would most likely return to the scene of his latest masterpiece. To his surprise, she had not only returned, but also loaded up the doctor and her dog, then driven back into the city. Having already surveyed the detective's property the previous day he knew where they we headed and sat back and drove a comfortable distance behind as he had tailed them into the city.
Thinking back over the trip, he decided his only mistake was not being prepared for the unexpected stop for dinner. Being unfamiliar with the neighborhood, he'd no choice but to pull into the nearly vacant parking lot and wait for the trip to resume. Now as he sat watching the house, he vowed not to make another mistake where the menacing detective was concerned, knowing he wouldn't get a third chance with her.
Waiting is always the hardest part. Isn't that what Dad always used to say? He sat and he watched, as the rancid smoke from his cigarette slowly curled out the window like a snake slithering through the night in search of prey.
Madison observed Logan from half closed eyes. Those blue eyes never failed to amaze her, one moment they could be boring holes through you and the next they could be melting your heart. She felt a warm stirring in her body as the desire she had held at bay for so long resurfaced with a vengeance. "Are you going to eat all of that by yourself?"
Logan didn't flinch when Madison's voice unexpectedly filled the room. Instead, she slowly turned her head towards the other woman and shrugged, ice cream smudging her lips. "Well, I brought it for you, but since you were asleep...well, I couldn't let it just melt, now could I?"
A well-groomed brow rose in question as the blonde held her mouth open like a small bird begging for food. Laughing, Logan kicked down the leg rest and moved over to the couch as Madison moved one leg to the floor, allowing her room to sit, leaving the other to rest snugly behind the detective's back. As the detective sat down, Madison swung her leg up onto the inviting lap and locked her ankles together around the warm, muscular body. With an impressive display of strength, she quickly pulled the detective's body on top of hers.
The movement took Logan by surprise, with the ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other; she could do nothing as her body was pulled towards Madison. The resulting position was one she couldn't ignore as the heat between the doctor's legs radiated against her rib cage. Reaching out blindly, she sat the ice cream container on the glass coffee table as Madison's lips captured hers in a torrent of desire and need.
In the distance, the doctor heard the spoons falling to the floor and inwardly smiled as she pulled Logan closer. Hands searched to find warm skin and tongues battled for entrance as their passion erupted from the depths of their souls. Heat filled minutes passed as the fervor continued, each ravenous for more, neither satiating the deeper hunger that drove them. Hearing a hungry growl escape between their lips, Logan pulled back to gasp for air and felt Madison's arms tighten around her. "No, don't stop, please...I need you."
Looking down into the dark green pools of Madison's eyes, Logan felt her resolve fading. She could feel the insistent throbbing between her legs and knew the fantasy of their first time together, alone in the cottage at Conneaut Lake, was quickly being pushed aside in the heat of the evening. Taking a deep breath and a moment to compose herself, she gently caressed the doctor's soft cheek, concern creasing her forehead. "I don't want our first time together to be something you regret. Madi, are you sure this is what you want?
Logan's answer came as the doctor captured her lips in a passionate kiss as a demanding tongue vied for entrance. An uncontrollable trembling rushed along her torso as warm hands slipped beneath the half t-shirt she wore and she released a primal growl from deep within her throat when Madison's long fingernails began trailing a path along her spine. Breaking the kiss, Logan urgently stood, pulling the smaller woman with her. Cupping warm cheeks between her hands, the tall detective leaned in and began nipping at an inviting lip. "Come with me." As a soft finger played across soft cheeks, the hunger in Logan intensified ten-fold. " I want to do this right...I want to make love to you in my bed."
Without a word being spoken, the two women made their way down the long hallway to the back of the house. As they reached the entrance to Logan's door, Madison suddenly hesitated, pulling back on Logan's arm. Peering into questioning eyes, she smiled. "Why don't you go make sure the house is locked up and I'll meet you back here in a few minutes? I...I want to freshen up a little."
Nodding, Logan turned and walked towards the kitchen, the shaking in her legs revealing the nervousness swarming in her gut. After checking the doors and activating the alarm, the detective walked back to the guest bedroom with Clancy's food and water bowl. Entering the darkened room, she heard the cat purring and knew he had settled down happily in the middle of the bed.
After placing the bowls beside the dresser, she walked over to stroke her hand along his back, smiling as she felt him lean into her touch. "Well, boy, I guess you're stuck here for the night." Clancy looked up lovingly with half closed eyes and continued to purr as Logan scratched under his chin. "Wish me luck, big guy and here's hoping I haven't forgotten how to do this."
"Oh, I don't think you've forgotten Detective. You may be out of practice, but I think it will all come back to you after a few minutes." Madison leaned against the open door to the bathroom, grinning at her, soon to be, lover.
Spinning around as the husky voice pierced the silence in the bedroom, Logan was captivated by the luminesant green eyes watching her. Jumbled amidst the flurry of thoughts racing through her head, she had forgotten that Madison had put her clothes in the guest room and had obviously returned to the adjoining bathroom to freshen up instead of the bath off the master bedroom.
Her mouth became an arid cavern as she looked at the blonde woman standing before her in the dark green, revealing, negligee. Her tongue became a paralyzed bundle of muscle, completely useless, and unable to swallow the lump that had risen like molten lava, deep in her throat. She couldn't find the pathway to her mouth for the words in her head as she simply continued to kneel beside the bed, her mouth agape, her stomach churning, delighting in the beauty of the woman before her.
Madison chuckled at the shocked, somewhat terror-stricken look on Logan's face as she drew closer. For the first time since their first meeting, Madison watched as Logan transformed from a strong, powerful detective to a frightened, vulnerable woman. Reaching out, she took the larger hand in hers, pulling the distressed woman to her feet, and led them across the hall.
Logan followed along silently, certain the neuro-pathways in her brain were short-circuiting. As they reached the threshold of the bedroom, Madison hesitated and turned towards Logan, looking up into dark pools of blue. Stretching onto her toes, the small blonde placed a tender kiss along quivering lips, and then pulled back to study the face before her. "I guess I should ask you if you're sure about this as well." When Logan didn't reply, only continued to stand in shocked silence, Madison took a step back. "Maybe we should..."
Logan heard the first question, but with her mind still reeling, couldn't respond. Only when the warm heat of Madison's body disappeared did she finally pull herself out of the trancelike state. "NO." Realizing that she had shoulted, Logan reached to caress Madison's soft cheek. "I mean no, I don't want to stop." Stepping closer, she bent her head, tasting the sweetness of the blonde's lips before backing them further into the bedroom. It took a few moments before she noticed the burning candles sitting along the edge of the dresser and another on the nightstand. Smiling, she turned back towards the suddenly shy-looking blonde. "Looks like you were busy while I was gone."
Silently, slender arms rose to wrap around Logan's long neck and confident fingers ran through the long, silky hair that cascaded across broad, muscular shoulders. As her hands moved lower, along the long sensuous neckline, Madison could feel the pulse beating furiously within. Leaning in, she gently placed a single kiss on the throbbing artery and felt a tremble beneath her lips. "Do you know how much I've wanted you?" Madison gently nipped an earlobe. "How much I've wanted to taste you?" She let her lips travel down the side of Logan's neck as her tongue left a warm, moist trail along the hot skin. "Feel you?" Her hands lowered until she felt the hard muscles in the woman's chest twitch at the sensual touch. "Make love to you?" Her lips followed the pathway of her hands as her tongue traced the line of Logan's clavicles towards the deep vee in her neck.
The overload of sensations had Logan's mind spiraling. She wove long fingers in Madison's hair, urging the warm lips to open as a soft groan escaped from deep within her throat. Feeling the unmistakable wetness between her legs, she knew there was no backing out, not now.not ever. No words were necessary as gentle caresses spoke their own language, relaying volumes as the two women stood among the flickering candles feeling the fire that raged within their souls as they continued their sensual exploration.
Madison heard the quick gasp as her fingers slid across the taut muscles of Logan's stomach. The rapid rise and fall of the ribs beneath her hands and the warm breath caressing her cheek told her the tall brunette was quickly losing control. With sure hands, the Doctor tugged the t-shirt from Logan's jeans and quickly pulled it over her head, before leaning back in to kiss her muscular chest. The spicy scent that she had come to love attacked her senses and the young doctor felt her passion rise almost beyond her control. When she felt the usually guarded woman shudder as Madison pressed one leg snugly into the hot, moist dampness between her legs.
A growling moan escaped both women as Logan thrust forward, pressing her throbbing clitoris harder against the doctor's thigh. Looking into the green pools once again, Logan gently tugged the silk neglegie up and off Madison's body, then stood back to admire the muscular, yet very feminine physique of her lover. "You.are.so.beautiful."
As strong, sure hands slid up her rib cage, Logan's mind continued to whirl in a flurry of emotions. Never before had she felt so out of control, so vulnerable...so...so free. Lifting her arms, she allowed Madison to ease the t-shirt up and off her body and immediately felt the cool air as it hit hot skin, and she shivered, not only from the coolness of the room, but the passion that was surging through her body. A deep groan escaped her throat when Madison's leg pressed firmly between hers and she felt her own legs weaken in response.
Commanding all of her strength, Logan pulled away, feeling her pulse quicken, all the more, as dark, lust filled eyes peered into hers. Bending her head, she gently sucked an open lip between hers, lightly tracing the smooth skin with the tip of her tongue as she began backing the smaller woman towards the bed. When Madison's legs pressed into the mattress, she slowly lowered the blonde onto the bed and knelt on the floor between her open, inviting legs.
Logan allowed herself a moment to marvel at the beautiful woman before her as she sat on her heels. Madison's long, silky blonde hair fell across bare shoulders, and the flickering candles made it appear as if golden threads were woven into the honey colored tresses. Even in the darkened room, Logan could see the sparkle of green eyes as she once again fell under the spell of the lustful gaze. With trembling hands, she reached out, caressing the soft skin of Madison's legs, allowing only her fingertips to feather gently along the sensitive skin of creamy thighs. Reaching the taut, musculature of the doctor's hips, she gently pulled the woman closer, immediately feeling a warm, silky wetness against her stomach.
Cradling her lover's face between warm hands, Madison captured the inviting lips, and as a moan escaped from somewhere deep within the detective, pressing her tongue deeper, demanding access to the treasure within. Tongues battled for control as hands reached out for possession, each needing to find release, yet wanting to savor every touch...every taste. Long moments passed as they lost themselves in the exploration of the others body with soothing touches from reverent hands.
With a tenderness she didn't know she possessed, Logan slowly began to kiss a trail down Madison's neck, along the soft, sensuous curves of her throat. Long fingers feathered over the sensitive skin, slowly dropping to become still along the sides of the small orbs as green pleading eyes locked with passion-filled blue. The only sound in the room was ragged breathing and the electrified air flowing between them became as they fell into the chasm of each other's eyes.
Madison pulled Logan closer, the yearning in her soul quickly overwhelming the control she had vowed to maintain. Drowning in the deep pools of blue, she relinquished control to the need...the hunger, she had until now, been able to contain and as Logan's thumbs brushed across her hardened nipples, a desperate cry echoed through the silence as she wrapped her legs around the firm muscular waist. "Ohmygod Logan, yes."
When Logan slowly, deliberately captured a hard nipple between her lips, Madison threw her head back, shutting out everything except the sweet, tortuous sensations flowing through her body. She felt herself being pressed backwards as a strong arm circled her waist, gently lowering her onto the mattress.
Madison's body immediately ached, as Logan moved away, missing the touch of her lover's skin. She felt long, slender fingers dip into the waistband band of her panties as the silky garment was lowered along her legs, and then, finally, the welcomed blanket of warmth as the long length of Logan's body covered hers. Looking into green eyes, she pleaded, "Make love to me, now. Please...I need you."
Pressed against the swollen nerves between Madison's legs, Logan felt a sweet wetness soak through her jeans. The detective's aching need was relentless and she struggled not to satisfy the cravings of her own primal being by ravishing the woman beneath her. Denying her body's demands, she yielded to the passionate need to savor each taste, every touch and continued along the journey that she knew would soon drive her insane.
A predatory growl formed deep within her belly as long nails raked over her back, completely dissolving her vow to luxuriate in the sensual feast before her. As her body reclaimed control, she thrust her hips hard against the firm thigh between her legs, crying out as a wave of tremors washed over her. Logan bit down gently on the nipple between her teeth then caressed the swollen peak with the tip of her tongue as Madison urgently thrust her hips higher and harder.
The rest of the world ceased to exist as Madison focused on the warm tongue teasing her nipple, and the insistent throbbing of her aching clitoris. Every fiber of her being screamed for release as Logan's lips left a warm, moist trail along her stomach. She slipped demanding fingers into the long dark tresses, pressing her lover lower, urging the warm tongue to satiate her ferocious need. "Please baby, I need you."
Savoring every inch of the journey along Madison's body, Logan slowly made her way to the only oasis she knew could quench her burning thirst, the aching need in her own swollen flesh sending a tidal wave of sensations along her spine. Her body begged for relief, but Logan refused to stop and remove the barriers of her jeans and bra, needing only at this moment to satiate her hunger and the burning desire of her lover. She ached to feel and taste the essance of the women beneath her, and when Madison urged her lower, encouraging, hastening the moment when warm lips would meet soft curls, Logan felt a spasm deep within her core.
Opening her eyes, Logan watched as Madison's head pressed into the mattress, her back arching above the bed as her breasts rose into the darkness, the hard nipples pleading to be devoured. Reaching out, Logan gently took one of the prominent peaks between her fingers and gently pinched the tender flesh at the same moment her tongue slid ever-so-slowly along the warm, glistening length of Madison's hard, swollen clit.
"Ohmygod, Logan, yes." Madison's fingers pressed Logan closer as her clitoris throbbed under the gentle assault of the woman's warm, soft tongue. "I need you so bad, baby." Her body was hot and the air was thick as she gasped for a cool breath. The heat in the room was intense as she rode the first spasm of her orgasm. Opening her eyes, she peered down at the raven-haired woman between her legs and cried out. "Noooooo."
Logan felt herself being pushed away as Madison scrambled further onto the bed. In her confusion, she simply stared as the woman clambered to the other side, trying to escape. "Madi? What's..."
All Madison could manage was a feral moan as she pointed towards the hallway, completely paralyzed with fear. Logan turned and saw the focus of Madison's panic. Flames were quickly scorching the walls and the air around them was becoming thick with smoke as the dark cloud thickened along the ceiling. The detective immediately assessed the situation, the emotions and feelings she had been experiencing only moments ago were shoved into the background as years of training took over, propelling her body into action.
Grabbing the blanket from the bed, she hurriedly wrapped it around the terror stricken woman and led her towards the window. Raising the sash with one hand and knocking out the screen, she pressed the doctor towards the opening. "GO."
Pulling on Logan's arm, Madison pleaded for the detective to follow. "Come on Logan, hurry."
Logan pried the insistent fingers from around her forearm, "I have to get Clancy and Femur. I hear the sirens; make sure they come to the back of the house, Femur's in the sunroom." Leaning down she quickly kissed the trembling woman and then ducked back inside the house. The open window was creating a chimney effect, quickly bringing the flames deeper into the room and so she hastily turned and shut the window closing off the pleading eyes beyond the sash, and locking herself in the raging inferno.
Seizing the sheet, still warm from their bodies, Logan dodged the ever-rising flickering tongues of the flames and bolted across the hallway to the guestroom. Clancy, frightened and franticly crying instantly jumped into Logan's arms, seeking refuge from the heat and flames. Wrapping the cat inside the sheet, she ran into the bathroom and turning on the shower, saturated the sheet, hoping it would be enough to prevent the animals fur from igniting as they tried to escape the blaze. She ducked her head under the cold water, wetting her long dark hair, thankful that she still had on her jeans and shoes and hoping the sports bra would provide, at least some protection from the heat and flames.
Tucking the wet bundle under her arm, she once again ducked into the hallway, trying to stay beneath the toxic cloud of smoke billowing along the ceiling. Dodging the flames that were quickly engulfing her home, she headed in what she thought was the opposite end of the house, only to slam into a blackened wall. The smoke was dense and acrid as she groped along the wall. Dammit, there should be a door here somewhere, fuck. Bits and pieces of the ceiling began to cascade around her, burning the naked skin as they ricocheted off her shoulders.
Disoriented in the smoke filled house, she knew she had to find a way out soon or it would be too late. Covering her face with part of the dampened sheet, she continued to feel her way along the walls. The heat was scorching her skin and the greedy tentacles of the ever-increasing flames were consuming the oxygen she so desperately needed. Frantically groping along the wall, her hand met open space. The bedroom. I've been in my fucking bedroom. Reorienting herself in the house, she blindly stumbled into the hallway, concentrating as one outstretched arm steered her along and the other clutched Clancy. As the smoke grew thicker, she knew she should drop to her knees and crawl along the floor, but in her haste to reach Femur she chose to take a chance and push on.
Venturing deeper into the burning structure, the smoke became unbearble and she felt the beginning symptoms of oxygen deprivation as her head began to spin. Stumbling over burning debris, her only thought was getting to Femur and Madison and keeping Clancy safe. The roar of the fire was deafening and at first, she didn't hear the thunderous rumbling echo through the room. As she looked up, the ceiling came crashing down around her. Unable to pull herself from under the heavy weight that pinned her to the floor, her thoughts instantly focused on the blondo woman she had so recently been making love to, hoping she had at least been able to save Madison, and then her world went dark.
Madison frantically ran to the curb, waving as the fire engines sped towards the burning house. As the first firefighter jumped from the truck, she grabbed his arm. "She's in there. You have to get her out."
The firefighter yelled to his comrades, informing them of Logan's presence in the house, then turned back towards the hysterical doctor. "Where did you last see her inside the house?" His voice was calm and controlled but the look in his eyes revealed the urgency of the moment. As a physician, Madison had seen that look a thousand times in the eyes of her fellow doctors as the seconds ticked by in an emergency.
Tugging on the man's turnout coat, she pulled him towards the burning structure. "She's trying to get the animals." Raking a hand through her hair, she tried frantically to remember Logan's last words. "The sunroom, that's it. She said meet her at the sunroom at the back of the house."
Waving his team on, the firefighter led the group towards the back of the house. Two additional fire engines arrived and the yard was instantly a scene of organized mayhem as hoses were unreeled and the fire teams scrambled to their assigned positions.
Madison felt a strong arm around her shoulders as a uniformed police officer led her away and closer to the street. "Miss, you need to come with me." She tried to free herself from the officer's hold and when the strong arms tightened around her waist, the doctor spun around towards the man. "I have to find her. PLEASE, let me go." She was screaming at the man, pounding his chest as tears streamed down her face. "You can't just leave her in there...please, God...nooooo"
Surprised by the strength of the small blonde, the officer literally picked the hysterical woman up and moved quickly away from the working fire fighters. Gently, but firmly he pinned Madison between his body and the squad car and held her as she cried, calling out for the woman they both feared was trapped inside the burning building.
Madison fought to regain her composure as the firefighters rained thousands of gallons of water onto the roof and into broken windows, constantly watching the side of the house for any sign of Logan. Suddenly, one of the firefighters yell and she watched horrified as he disappeared into the flames through a hole in the roof. Tearing herself from the officer's hold, she ran towards the house, just as a massive explosion erupted through the plate glass windows in what used to be the den.
The doctor felt her body flying backwards as the force of the explosion knocked her on the ground and shards of glass rained down upon her. Scrambling to her feet, she began running towards the flames, her mind on nothing but Logan and then felt herself being tackled to the ground by the officer. He held her, pinning her body beneath his as the entire roof collapsed into the house and tried to comfort the horror-stricken doctor as she screamed. "Logan.... ohmygod, Logan, Nooooooooooo."
A crowd had convened across the street and watched in shocked silence as the house disintegrated into charred coals. The dark figure stood several feet behind the group watching as the scene played out before him, desperately trying to hide the smile that played across his lips as the explosion ripped through the structure. The smell of gas hung heavily in the air and he knew it would not be long before they discovered the reagents of the gas cans he had strategically placed along the perimeter of the house.
Feeling proud of his first experience with arson, he felt the adrenaline rush through his system and filed the information away for later use. Damn, that felt good. He watched as the firefighters continued to spray water on the burning structure. In silent contemplation, he knew it was too late to save the woman or the firefighter that had fallen through the roof and momentarily felt a twinge of guilt for harming the innocent firefighter. Shrugging, he thought to himself, Well, I guess that comes with the job.
Paramedics were attending to the tackled doctor lying on the front lawn. It appeared as if she were unconscious as they huddled around her still form. I guess that was just too much excitement for the little woman. He kept an eye on the paramedics while attempting to look nonchalant and watched as they placed her onto a gurney, then into the waiting ambulance. As the flashing lights disappeared into the darkness, he turned back towards the house and stood watching for a few more moments before tossing his cigarette butt on the ground and slowly walking to his car, whistling as acrid smoke hung in the night air.

We're several songs and maybe, like, a mixtape short of proclaiming a Wiz Khalifa renaissance, but the Pittsburgh emcee's flip of ScHoolboy Q's "Man of the Year" into "Maan!" has us paying particular attention again.
The track follows on the heels of his sensational performance on B.o.B's "High As Hell," which saw him rap his ass off. "Maan!" isn't as rappity-rapping as "High As Hell," but the melodic Wiz that initially captured our attention on Kush & OJ rides the Nez & Rio beat admirably.
Wiz's third album, Blacc Hollywood, will drop sometime this year, and its first single, "We Dem Boyz," is more of the trite product that's been known to show up on his studio LPs. But just maybe we can hold out for more tracks like "Maan!" or "High As Hell" to appear on it. Then we'll definitely throw Wiz into "Man of the Year" discussions.

Poor baby
I suppose the child was the natural child of the woman or the man and that's why police can't connect her with a missing child? The only possible match I could come up with on Doe Network was this one:
Sometimes it astounds me what a sick, sick world we live in.
Ever since I read about her I've thought that it was her mother and father that did this to her, and that she wasn't a missing child. This is like the Jerrell Willis case. His body was left by his parents in a pack and play bag in an empty lot in Philly. No one ever knew who he was until his uncle moved back to the area and started asking questions about him, and when he wasn't getting answers he started looking on ncmec and found a bust that was made of him. I have a feeling that her identity will never be known unless her parents have a guilty conscience and turn themselves in or someone from her family starts looking for her.

There is one unidentified baby that someone could find a match for. She's on the doe network at case 295UFWA. She was about a year and a half old, found in 1987 in a river in Washington state. A body believed to be her mother was found several days later in a different river. (Grissly case, missing head and legs, legs found all the way down river in Portland.) She apparently doesn't have her own doe network file. The county has not done a DNA comparison, and there is now no money to do an exhumation.
The Seattle PI covered this case as one of their entries in the 2003 series "Without a Trace" The web link is http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/...ingday25.shtml
If someone here is more experienced at posting than I am, maybe you could start your own thread on Baby Jane Doe 1987.
The Seattle PI put together a very comprehensive database of missing and unidentified people in Washington as part of their series. Many of the cases do not appear on the doe network. You may find it useful in your research.
Note, I do not know if the data base has been updated recently. Some of the cases may have been solved.

That is a terrible case. I have tried looking into that one, matching up women that were missing with their child, but could not find any that seemed to be a suitable match. I wonder if enough people rallied together and came up with enough money to exhume the body and do the DNA test, if the county would perform the test?
In the late '60s (1967, I believe) a very similar case occurred on the Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge (one could almost see one "dump site" [I hate that term] from the other). The young girl in this case, who had also been molested and abused, was identified. Her father was arrested for the crime. This would only be 13 or 14 years before this young lady's tragic demise...When I have access to my files later today, I will post more exact info. I was startled to say the least by the 1967 case...I can see the area she was found from my office window...And I have had my boys hiking right through the location.
***May 1st, 1967. !0 year-old Robin Rogers, raped, sodomized and strangled. Her parents reported her missing, then the mother (name unknown) had her husband, James Rogers, arrested for incest involving Robin. In the only report I could find, James was in Kings County Hospital for observation and charges were pending.***

Paradise-Good job digging, but I don't think this could be the same guy...Robin was 10 in '67, so she was born in '57. This guy was born in '47, so he would have been 10 when she was born. Of course, he may not be the bio-dad and may have married and older woman with a child...Sometimes pedophiles go "fishing" for women who have children in their preferred age range...
Yeah that's true...I hadn't thought that this might not have been the bio dad.

I have never understood how a child could go missing, and not one person notices...
Does this tool exist, or is it still in science fiction stage:
Run a scan of the faces in the found photographs (if indeed faces are available) and run it thru some type of mugshot thing, and see if it comes up with any type of match?

Interviewed Baby Hope Investigator
Hi everyone. I'm new to Websleuths. As it happens, I'm a writer and I interviewed Jerry Giorgio, the lead investigator on the Baby Hope case.
I can tell you that she was found on July 23, 1991, in a 40 quart, dark blue Igloo cooler with a white top, off the Henry Hudson Parkway in northern Manhattan. There was almost no forensic evidence of the killers, no fingerprints, no DNA. The detectives followed over 300 leads, they even tried a psychic at one point, and while they located other missing children in the process, and rescued at least one other child from a situation that involved sexual abuse, they never found Baby Hope�s killer or killers.
No one ever forward to claim her. She�s never been identified. For two years she was stored in the morgue, and that was more than the detectives could bear. They pooled their money, paid for her funeral, and buried her at St. Raymond�s Cemetery in the Bronx in a plot donated by the Catholic Archdiocese, two years to the day after she was found in the cooler on the highway.
Jerry Giorgio hasn�t given up even though he is now retired from the NYPD, and works as a senior investigator at the Manhattan District Attorney�s office. Baby Hope was actually laid to rest in a long white dress picked out by Jerry Giorgio�s wife. Because it was impossible by that time to actually put her in the dress, it was carefully and lovingly placed on top of her.
Every July 23rd he visits Baby Hope's grave and studies the small plot and the toys that are piled up in front of her tombstone. They want to see if anything new has been added that might lead them to her killers.

Stacy-Welcome to WS, and thanks for jogging my memory. I've been meaning to post this....
In Feb '89, Gustavo Izquierdo couldn't be happier at the birth of his daughter, Elisa. Born to a drug-addicted mother, Elisa herself was a "crack baby". Gustavo, a Cuban immigrant, was determined to give her the best life he could. Her mother, Awilda Lopez, was not in her life, but there was one problem-Gustavo had cancer. Awilda and her husband Carlos convinced social workers that they had turned their lives around. They were granted unsupervised visits with Elisa. It did not take long, however, for Gustavo to know something was wrong, horribly wrong. Elisa was showing signs of physical and mental abuse and sexual molestation. In '93, Gustavo tried to take Elisa back to his native Cuba, but died before they could leave. Awilda and Carlos, who by this time already had four chiildren between them, fought for and won permanent custody of Elisa (even though members of the community tried to fight it). Carlos was a very violent man-in '92, just a month after the birth of the couple's second child together, he stabbed Awilda 17 times. He served two months in prison.
Elisa's abuse was evident to everyone. Finally, on Nov 22, 1995, Elisa died from the continued beatings and abuse. Her mother refused to acknowledge what had happened, calling her sister and telling her that Elisa was lying on the bed like she was "retarded or something". She then ran to the roof of the apartment house and threatened to jump.
I won't go into the details of the abuses she suffered, but NYPD detectives described it as one of the worst cases of abuse and molestation they had ever seen.
I have to wonder if Elisa and Baby Hope are somehow related...

What a horrible story. Good God. (I'm not sure about the cases being related though, since it sounds like various agencies had some awareness of the families, even if they were not appropriately responsive. They knew the total number of children, and if one girl went missing it would be noticed. Famous last words.)
I would have to respectfully disagree. Awilda and Carlos were living a transient, drug-abusing lifestyle. I don't see that it would be difficult for them to keep at least one child "under the radar"-or living with "friends". They really only came to the attention of Child Services when they went seeking visitation with Elisa, and that was probably only because she was in Carlos' preferred age range. She was severely abused and molested for nearly 4 years, even when her father and neighbors/teachers complained. They were still doing drugs during this time. Child Services completely dropped the ball-and, as can be seen in NJ, sometimes they just don't see what they don't want to see. Truthfully, I doubt that the caes are related, but if it hasn't been looked into I think it certainly should.

The NFL suspended Tennessee Titans safety Michael Griffin one game without pay for being a "repeat violator" of the NFL's safety rules prohibiting hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players, the league announced.
Griffin was banned for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Oakland Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera during the second quarter of the Titans' 23-19 win over the Raiders. He will miss this Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The violation was Griffin's second this season and fourth since 2011, all for striking defenseless players in the head and neck area, the league said.
Griffin was fined $21,000 last month on his hit on New York Jets wide receiver Stephen Hill.BANKS: Troubling developments for sliding Chiefs; more Week 12 Snaps

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen scientists go out looking for research funding, it helps if their projects aren't all that exciting. Excitement usually goes with the most speculative, cutting-edge science, but funding agencies usually prefer to put their money on projects that seem likely to bear fruit. "You pretty much have to demonstrate that you've already done half the work to demonstrate it's feasible," says Lucianne Walkowicz, a postdoctoral fellow in astrophysics based at Princeton University.
By that standard, Walkowicz's latest project shouldn't be getting any funding at all. She wants to conduct a search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), not by doing anything so conventional as listening for radio transmissions á la Jodie Foster in Contact, or watching for flashes of laser light. Instead, she wants to see if ET's are somehow manipulating the light coming from their stars so that they wink at us — a long shot if ever there was one, especially since she has no clue how they might go about it.
But thanks to a program titled "New Frontiers in Astronomy and Cosmology," funded by the John Templeton foundation and administered by the University of Chicago, Walkowicz is getting her chance. Cutting-edge research is what this program is all about, and the question "Are We Alone in the Universe?" is one of the major areas it aims to address.
The odds of a discovery with Walkowicz's project may be long, but the search technique is quite straightforward. "Our premise," she says, "is that up until now, we've had a preconceived idea of what a SETI signal would look like." It would basically be the sort of signal we know how to create, and understandably so, since searching for a signal from some entirely unknown technology would be kind of difficult.
If aliens were so advanced that they could cause their star to appear to flicker, however, it wouldn't matter how they did it, and it would be easy enough to see with existing <a class="StrictlyAutoTagAnchor" href="http://www.etupdates.com/tag/technology" title="View all articles about technology here" >technology.

Okay, so here's the story, I have freckles all over my face. They are not VERY obvious, but you can definately see them. The thing is I am self-conscious about them, partly because I don't really know many people who have any and I don't know what people think about them. So, guys/girls what do you think of freckles? I am very comfortable in my skin and overall confident. My freckles are just the one area where I wonder what other people think. What do you think? Cute? Gross? Turn on? Turn off?
(By the way, just to be more specific about my case, I have blonde hair and green eyes.)
Most Helpful Guy
Freckles look kind of natural on someone with light coloring, so don't worry about it. Don't try to cover them up. Actually I like them because they give a girl the next-door fresh look.
You'd look really unnatural if you used makeup to cover them as some girls do.
Just enjoy what you have. Sure, some girls think they are ugly, but guys, I don't think so. I don't know any who are put off by them anyway.00|00|0

Fiddlesticks by Sean Taylor and Sally Garland (Simon and Schuster Children's Books)

I wholly identify with the mouse in this cute little story of perfectionism. You know how it is when you have everything just right, but there's just something that niggles at you, something that isn't quite right and then when you fiddle with the broken thing, you make everything else ten times worse.
Charlotte too knows only too well what it's like when she's building the perfect Lego house, and is just putting the roof on - presses too hard and the whole thing collapses in on itself! Oh dear! We've seen many a tantrum and tears.
Mouse notices a wonky window on his dream house, and when a helpful bear tries to fix it, mouse ends up in more trouble than he knows what to do with. One broken window. Thankfully squirrel is just passing by, and he's an expert carpenter. He sorts out the window but lo, he's drilled a hole in the water pipe, filling Mouse's dear little kitchen with water.
And so it goes on, until mouse's house is a pile of rubble, wrecked beyond all recognition by his well-meaning friends.
They do make amends though, in grand style much to mouse's relief. But wait a minute, what's this tiny imperfection with mouse's new pad?
This is a laugh-out-loud book in places, full of wonderful animal characters and though we suspect mouse is a bit of a grumpy little fusspot (Fiddlesticks is now a whole new word that Charlotte will shout at the most inopportune moments) we do love Mouse's house-tale.
Charlotte's best bit: Poor exasperated mouse's various exclamations when yet another thing goes wrong
Daddy's Favourite bit: Hugely amusing, and a tale I definitely identify with!

text: Hi all, As some of you might know already, I'm currently looking into buying my first AWD Audi. Local 'exotic car' dealer has a 1987 90q, which has apparently had an engine swap. The label in the boot/trunklid has the original code crossed out and another added. I'll take it for a test drive with my VAG mechanic buddy on Friday, if it's still there. Q: can anyone tell me the difference between an 'NG' and an 'SL' or 'SE' (original printed code, near-illegible) I-5 engine? I can recall someone writing not too long ago about a booklet containing Audi engine codes- you'd do me a big favour by checking these out. Thanks in advance!

Sorrry, couldn't resist, you inspired me.
I agree whole heartedly with everything you say.
Netflix has made a business decision to run there infrastructure on Silverlight and consequently has probably serviced a large number of their customers. As much as I'm a linux/open source backer, at the end of the day, companies make decisions, some bad, some good. If there are so many folks wanting to view movies on their Linux boxes, let Netflix know. Contact them. If they get enough response, maybe they'll implement it. If not, discontinue the service until they add a linux compatible client. If they ask why you're canceling tell them.
Unfortunately, I suspect that providing a linux compatible client is going to only add a minuscule boost to sales. Most linux users will figure out a work-around if they care that much about it like dual-booting or virtualizing. Smart for Netflix IMO and sucks for a small segment of its customers. Thats just life.
Surprised he's suing too, cause last I checked when I was done with the game he was a billionaire due to big bets at at the OTB and the ability to restore the previous game whenever those big bets lost.
On a more serious note, this guy's a jackass.
I know its feasible and all with auto-pilot, but I'd think that'd never happen. Well unless you were paid to by Lao-che...
Well, I guess they have to make up for other inadequacies in some way.
Well it is called the "Massive Ordanance Penatrator". Sounds like there's some insecurities somewhere...
I'm sure there'll be a lot more that folks can think of out here in Slashdot land.....
But see. These are reasons why you should try throw a few extra bucks at the brick and mortar store from time to time. It costs money to provide that service of being able to checkout the thing before you buy, etc.
Just something to keep conscious of. If it costs you a few bucks more, help em out.
At the same time, admittedly there have been times I've checked it out in the store and they can't match so I buy online. There was a lcd tv I was going to buy a while back that neither Best Buy or Circuit City brick-and-mortar were even willing to try to match to Amazon's deal (CC and Bestbuy wanted ~$2k, amazon wanted ~$1500), plus amazon was throwing in a blu-ray player.
I gave them both opportunities to match but they didn't want "to consider amazon their competition". Circuit City didn't let me down either, every time I shopped there the clerks usually drove me batty and caused me to shop elsewhere. Well sorry guys, I bought it online, and amazon did a pretty fantastic job. Had they come close (within $100-200 or so), I would have probably bought it at one of the two. Especially since I didn't know about the BD player deal till around checkout time.
So anyway, consider chucking a few bucks to your local retailer from time to time if its in the ballpark, otherwise, they may not be there down the road. Price isn't always everything.
Same boat over here. I have no problem paying for games (though I rarely buy them when they first come out). I believe whole heartedly in supporting creative software developers who put out useful/interesting/fun/etc software.
I do have a problem with the state of DRM. Consequently, I haven't even bothered to look at GTA IV or Red Alert 3 for me. In fact since that seems to the de facto standard on most PC games (or so it seems) I've just stopped buying PC games outright. It doesn't help that a lot of the games suck now either (FPS bore the hell out of me and that seems to be another trend).
If you didn't have to work so hard, you'd have more time to be depressed.


text: Numerical simulation of a turning alpine ski during recreational skiingHIRANO, YOICHI; TADA, NORITAKAMedicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: September 1996 - Volume 28 - Issue 9 - p 1209-1213 Special Communications: Technical Note Abstract Author Information While downhill snow skiing, recreational alpine skiers enjoy making turning motions with their skis. These motions are mainly induced by skidding, while turning by alpine ski racers is made by carving a trace in the snow. In the present study we treat the turning motions by recreational alpine skiers. This"skidding" turning motion is made possible by centripetal forces acting on the ski and skier dynamic motion systems, with these forces arising due to the skier placing the ski's longitudinal axis at an angle that is inclined away from the velocity vector and edging the ski into the snow. When snow is soft, the edged ski creates a snow impacting force, whereas a snow cutting force occurs when it is hard. Here, we calculate the former force using a three-dimensional water jet analogy, while the latter one using conventional metal cutting theory, after which the corresponding equations of motion for each system are derived and numerically solved. This methodology enables simulating the curvilinear and rotational motion of the ski and skier systems. Resultant simulations quantitatively show for the first time that the resultant radius of curvature of a ski track while downhill skiing is strongly dependent on the location of the ski boot on the ski's longitudinal axis and also on its side-cut (midlength taper).
