Jordan entered a blood pact with Lucifer himself, and got Zombie Grinder a secure release spot on Steam!
disclaimer: HUB will not date you, and thinks you're kind of a slob. Also new guns, achievements, and all kinds of new stuff!
We've got a ton of new stuff we plan to add, but aren't 100% sure if we should trickle it in over time, or make one humongous content update once it's...
Holiday greetings from Tim and Jordan! A small update announcing our upcoming holiday sale, as well as some info on a rapidly approaching sale! WOO!!!!
Procedurally generated dungeons make an appearance in an all new dungeon crawler game mode!
Introducing Item modification, trading, an overhaul to the shop and loadout screen, new hats, new miscellaneous items, new weapons, new maps, new game...
Tim patches in more content than I can list, and I drew some zombies! Enjoy!
Tell your really hip Mac friends that you want to play a zombie game with them!
Tired of killing zombies with your friends? Kill your friends with *zombies !!! (*like as in, there are zombies there. Not literally using zombies)
Tim's been busy re-writing the UI! I've been busy doing NOTHING! So I pixelled a bunch of cliff tiles inspired by Mother 3, and made a new wave map! Enjoy...
Points are so 2010! We're going retro and bringing COINS back! WOO!
We're just getting started! Let's make the end of 2011 one of the best :D!
It's the busy season at work, and am gonna need some help on the next content patch! The Massive Shop-date!

Delko polished up his map and sent it my way. Here is a vid of me testing it flying solo on Zombie Grinder build 40 (latest)!!
A secondary mapper joins the ranks, and delivers a very stylized industrial looking map, and does stuff with our existing tiles I never even imagined!!
Delko and I hit the park again to grind as far as we could in 1 run. We made it all the way to Wave 19 before being overcome!
What was intended to be my magnum opus fell completely short. Enjoy it, regardless!
With the completion of our first official map, open BETA is one step closer! A big thank you to our handful of watchers!!!

Police and public join forces to remember London victims
LONDON Hundreds of people joined together on Westminster Bridge on Wednesday to remember the four killed in last week's London attack.
LONDON British retail sales rose much faster than forecast in February, suggesting that the economy's solid recovery extended into the first quarter of the year, official data showed on Thursday.
Sales volumes compared with January increased at three times the pace expected in a Reuters poll, pushing up the pound. On a less volatile measure, over the three months to February they rose at their strongest pace since August last year.
Consumers, many of them buoyed by a strengthening housing market, have been the driving force behind Britain's rapid economic recovery even as household income has been squeezed by slow wage growth and high inflation in recent years.
That strain on consumers could begin to ease off soon, with inflation now trending below the Bank of England's 2.0 percent target and wage growth beginning to pick up.
"The UK consumer is powering on, helped by improving pay growth, subsiding inflation and very low interest rates. Even the rain during February did not appear to dampen spirits on the high street," Rob Wood chief UK economist at Berenberg said.
The pound rose to $1.6627 after the retail sales data, from $1.6570 beforehand.
However, Alan Clarke, economist at Scotiabank, said it was hard to see how this pace of growth could be maintained. "After all, real income growth has only just turned positive," he said.
Retail sales volumes rose 1.7 percent on the month - bouncing back from a 2.0 percent fall in January - to show 3.7 percent growth on the year, the Office of National Statistics said. Economists had expected retail sales to edge up 0.5 percent on the month and to be 2.5 percent higher on the year.
Sales were 1.6 percent higher in the three months to the end of February compared with the previous three-month period, the ONS said. That was its highest since August last year.
The growth in retail volumes was led by food stores which contributed more than a half of the growth in retail sales.
The data suggested economic growth could hit 0.8 percent in the January-March period from the previous three months, picking up a bit of speed from the fourth quarter, said Simon Wells, HSBC's chief UK economist.
Policymakers have stressed that for the recovery to be sustainable it needs to be broadened out to include exports and investment. The head of clothing retailer Next said last week that Britain's recovery was being driven by an unsustainable pick-up in consumer borrowing.
Surging house prices in London meanwhile have raised the risk of a housing bubble and the BoE on Thursday prepared tools to rein in potentially dangerous lending.
Nonetheless, the central bank has said it is in no hurry to raise interest rates with inflation at 1.7 percent, its lowest since October 2009.
Thursday's data showed further signs of weaker prices. Average prices of retail goods sold fell 0.2 percent in February versus a year ago, its first fall since September 2009, pushed down by weaker fuel prices.
A survey on Thursday showed the public's inflation expectations over the next 12 months eased in March to their lowest in more than four years.
Another survey added to signs of recovering purchasing power. Pay awards in factories held at their highest level since mid-2012 in the three months to February.
Retail sales growth eased in March, according to a third survey this week, partly due to the later timing of Mother's Day and Easter this year but there were signs that sales would rebound next month.

We're taking the frustration out of swimsuit shopping one step at a time; if you're more well-endowed up top, tune in because this one's for you. Having a larger bust might inspire jealousy among your girlfriends, but it can be a tricky situation to dress for the beach if you don't know quite how to support what you've got.
The truth is that it's not that hard to find suits that are as cute as they are practical for your shape as long as you look for underwire or molded cups to support ample cleavage. Likewise, you're best advised to steer clear of ruffles or embellishments that can add volume or draw the eye up top. Not to worry, we've pulled the best swimwear on the market to complement your shape. Read on for the tips and tricks, then keep reading to find your best match.
- Look for bra-style tops with underwire and adjustable straps.
- Banded halter tops with thick ties offer great support without the expected underwire.
- Molded cups provide extra support and are available in many different styles.
- Explore suits marked D+, which are constructed to support a larger bust.

Iconic San Francisco restaurant Fog City is now open. Housed in the location of the legendary Fog City Diner, Fog City has been completely renovated and reimagined by founders Bill Higgins and Bill Upson and talented local chef Bruce Hill, of Bix, Picco, and Zero Zero.
The offerings, very much a reflection of San Francisco's rich culinary landscape, were conceived by chef Hill and will be executed by chef Erik Lowe, former chef de cuisine at Bix. "Some people call it personal cuisine, others might call it modern eclectic, but it's really just the food that my chef and I and my partners love to eat," says Hill. Virtually everything is made in-house, including buns, cheese, crullers, and barrel-aged hot sauces.
What's not made in Fog City comes from the area's finest farmers, fishermen, breweries, and distilleries. Chef Hill says, "I am incredibly grateful for all of my farmers and the people who are our suppliers. My relationships with some of my farmers go back almost 30 years!" Fog City specializes in grilled Brandt beef and other meats, such as chicken and lamb, cooked in the restaurant's expansive wood-fired grill. Pastry chef Aaron Toensing oversees the pastry program, which includes house-made Straus Family Creamery frozen custard, made fresh daily. Hill, who actually worked as a chef at Fog City Diner in the early 2000s, notes, "Fog City is another name for the city of San Francisco. So, this is really a San Francisco restaurant. We have a local patriotism we're capturing here."
Rather than be daunted by the prospect of revamping an iconic brand and location, Hill was excited. "Having worked at Fog City Diner, even spending 9-11 there, watching the towers fall, I have a lot of emotional connection to the space. We absolutely took the history into consideration, but, other than the adventurous spirit of the original, we didn't want to carry anything over." The process has been in the works for three years. Hill was able to work on the opening while also operating several other successful Bay Area restaurants, something he credits to open lines of communication. "The key is my connection to my managers and my chefs, which is on a daily basis," he reveals.
Chef Hill arrived in the Bay Area in 1984, just a year prior to Fog City Diner's birth. When asked if he could have imagined he would one day own it, he says, "I thought if I were lucky, I would own one restaurant, and here I am opening my fourth. With the history of that spot, it's a really special opportunity. What we're doing right now is just the beginning of this restaurant, and we will continue to make everything better."
Hill, Lowe, and the whole team behind Fog City hope to become a favorite of new diners — and Fog City Diner regulars. To those folks, he shares, "It's going to be very different, but we care about what we're doing and we really hope you enjoy it."
Fog City is at 1300 Battery Street on San Francisco's Embarcadero. Book a table today!

Blood clots can happen in veins. A blood clot in a vein close to the skin isn't likely to cause problems. But having blood clots in deep veins is called deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis happens most often in the legs. This problem can lead to a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism).
The deep veins of the leg have different terms to describe their location:
A person with a blood clot in a deep upper (proximal) leg vein is at increased risk for a blood clot in the lung or other complications.

Carving headlong through an obscure powdery slope in Banff, you reach a patch of rough ice sure to send you skidding down the mountain on your rump. But a peculiar thing happens. Your new snowboard stiffens up, providing more grip. You cut through the patch, onward down the black diamond trail, laughing in the face of an angry Canadian snow god. "Blast that Intelligence!" you imagine the deity shouting, fist shaking in the air.
Head NV, makers of outdoor extreme and mainstream sports equipment, has infused a unique material that's commonly used in Army helicopter blades into the new Intelligence snowboard. The material is made up of something called Intellifibers, and inside the board, it senses the mountain terrain and the aggressiveness of the rider to adapt to the specific setting. If the mountain is soft and powdery, the board remains flexible and allows the rider more give in his downhill assault; if the mountain is rugged and icy, the board becomes stiffer, allowing the rider to better cut into the slope. Regardless of conditions, the Intellifibers help the board maintain that all-important contact with the snow.
Here's how the Intelligence works. The Intellifibers, located in the front tip of the board, generate energy from the board's vibrations, then transfer that energy into a microchip located in the center of the board between the bindings. From there the microchip amplifies the impulses and sends them back to the Intellifibers, which stiffen the snowboard accordingly.
All this happens in .005 seconds, or much, much faster than it takes to cerebrally process the information.
Built for downhill speed and maneuverability, the Head Intelligence Snowboard, which retails for $579, is not meant for the novice rider. It's a combination of all-mountain and free-ride board for steep terrain, ready for ripping through knee-deep drifts or weaving through trees on a glade run. However, the board's flex allows for enough versatility to pull off those insane tricks you're afraid that one day your kid will want to try. Catch sick air on a ridiculous half-pipe, or pull a 360 off a rail slide in a treacherous terrain park without losing your Oakleys.
Translation? The Head Intelligence Snowboard is your all-in-one board.

My name is Donna McBroom-Theriot. I am married to a wonderful man who is also my best friend. Between us, we have four children; Ashley, Katie-Beth, Joshua and Jeremy, two son-in-laws, and a daughter-in-law. We live in South Louisiana -with the exception of Katie who currently resides in New York City. We also have three grandchildren.
I am fortunate to live along one of the lazy bayous that run through South Louisiana. For the most part, life is quiet, but then again, you never know. When I'm out running around, all sorts of things are apt to happen and then new stories appear on my blog. I try to have fun with my posts.
I usually have no shortage of topics since my life seems to resemble one huge "Lucy" moment after another.
A little about me. I love to organize. In fact, I am a chronic organizer. I am an obsessed organizer. When my husband leaves for the hunting camp, my mind has a mind of its own. The minute he gets to the highway, I am already into deep clean-out, re-organize mode. I haven't quite been able to put my finger on why I react this way. I would love to just sit down with a good book, which is what I do after I've organized something. But, it would be nice to sit down first!
I also love to bake. I took cake decorating classes a few years ago as sort of a self-imposed therapy. It was great fun and just writing that last sentence stirred up some pretty hilarious memories of that phase of my life -and some since.- I'll have to blog on it -through the laughter and tears!- I bake a lot of cupcakes. I seem to prefer those little bits of heaven that you keep all to yourself rather than a huge cake. I also enjoy baking and decorating sugar cookies. I think the best part of cookie baking is the look of pure ecstasy on someone's face when they get their first glimpse of the finished product.
I am an avid book reader and just purchased a Kindle. This is a great product for me since I have never left home without a book, magazine, and folder of "to be read" articles in my bag. My bag is so much lighter now, and I love having Scrabble at my fingertips 24/7.
These are a few things about me. I will no doubt be tweaking this page quite often as I find new interests.
I hope that you visit often and enjoy the stories that you read. I love hearing from my followers so please leave a comment, your own blog page – to promote yourself and so I can visit you, – and a little information about yourself. Thanks for visiting and come again!
Feb. 22, 2011 – We have added two new members to our family; Ryka Vom Nobleheim -a nine-year-old West German Shepherd and Calypso -sometimes referred to as Monkey-, a six-year-old West German Shepherd. There will plenty of stories and pictures as our canine adventures begin.
October 2011 – After Calypso slipped out of the gate and crossed a busy highway before being captured by Hubby, I signed us up for obedience classes at Pet Smart. It has been an adventure I will not soon forget -and others too I'm sure.- We are making progress, a little at a time.
November 2011 – We successfully completed our training and we do listen a tad better – but, in the words of the breeder – when dogs have a large yard, the yard becomes boss. So, we don't venture out and the extent of their "bye-bye" is a ride in the wagon or I sometimes pick them up as I come through gate and they get to ride down the driveway.
January 2012 – Calypso had her one year birthday. She is a dog that loves life – loves chasing her tail, the dragonflies, Ryka, 4-wheelers… Ryka is ever the lady. She tolerates a lot from Calypso and every now and then puts her in her place. They are both lovable dogs and love to give and receive affection. Life is happy on the farm.
October 2013 – I haven't updated in a long while. Ryka and Calypso are as lively as ever. Calypso is now almost 3 years old and Ryka is 6. I have posted the first chapter of my memoir. If you are interested, just hover over My Story in the headers and a menu will appear.

Java, i need help with a recursion base case please
I'm writing a program that prints Sierpinski's Carpet in a recursive method. I just need to figure out a base case for this method. And one more thing the picture is supposed to have more dots(small squares) in between the squares that don't seem to show in my method. any suggestions are welcomed.
Java Code:import java.awt.*; public class Sierpinski{ public static void main(String args[]) { DrawingPanel panel = new DrawingPanel(242,242); Graphics g = panel.getGraphics(); g.setColor(Color.WHITE); g.fillRect(0,0,242,242); drawGasket(g,0, 0, 243); } public static void drawGasket(Graphics g,int x, int y, int side) { int temp= side/3; g.setColor(Color.BLACK); g.fillRect(x + temp, y + temp, temp - 1, temp - 1); if(temp>=3) { drawGasket(g,x,y,temp); drawGasket(g,x+temp,y,temp); drawGasket(g,x+2*temp,y,temp); drawGasket(g,x,y+temp,temp); drawGasket(g,x+2*temp,y+temp,temp); drawGasket(g,x,y+2*temp,temp); drawGasket(g,x+temp,y+2*temp,temp); drawGasket(g,x+2*temp,y+2*temp,temp); } } }

FILM 271 | Video Diary | 3 credits |
With the availability of newly affordable consumer video technology in the 1980's, a simple yet powerful tool emerged in the form of the video diary. This approach, responding to the radical objectivity of Cinema Verite and informed by controversial subjectivity of New Journalism, quickly gained popularity as artists sought to record their own perspectives as well as to place them in a larger social and historical context. In this course we will look at early as well as more contemporary video diarists, including the work of Sadie Benning, George Kuchar, Chris Marker, Agnes Varda, Michael Moore and others.

.17 Sweet Sixteen
little woman in bed early tonight, a few gin & tonics thrown back, what better way to indulge in a little buzz LOL... with trades to boot.
1. SF- Alex Smith, he passes Rodgers with what is called the best pro day workout since troy aikman. i'd go braylon edwards but a qb makes a big spalsh and fits the bill for rebuilding. 2. MIA- Ronnie Brown, my surest pick of the top ten is they take him or Benson. 3. CLEV- Braylon Edwards, the BPA pick, high impact, a qb later 4. CHI- Cedric Benson, word is they love him. Grossman, Moose, add Benson and this offense might come to life. 5. TB- Cadillac Williams, a lovefest with Gruden even though Clayton is politicking for Williams 6. TN- Trade #6 for SD #12, #124. & #135. SD takes Mike Williams. If ya want DJ or Williams TN will gladly trade. they want to so much they even give up a little value to SD who is a proven draft day wheeler dealer. (No trade TN goes Rolle to replace Rolle) 7. MIN- Derrick Johnson, the trade makes up their mind between DJ or Williams. Vikings overhaul towards defensive power continues. 8. ARZ- Trade #8 for GB #24, #51, #58. GB takes Aaron Rodgers. Green wanted RB's are gone. Another known draft day trading team. Green Bay hails Farve succesor. Pick values line up just right. (No trade ARZ picks DJ or Rolle) 9. WASH- Antrell Rolle, pleasant surprise for Gibbs. Replaces Smoot and might be better. 10. DET- Pacman Jones, whoever Lions have pegged as best defensive player on board, nice team with Bly on other side. 11. DAL- Carlos Rogers, getting Howard makes this the pick over a de. 12. SD- trade from #6, TN takes Justin Miller, not far down from Rolle to pickup two more picks 13. HOU- Erasmus James, Barron a strong possibility, pass rush needed and they have first choice of the liter. 14. CARO- Alex Barron, considering a wideout or TE Miller but Barron too good to pass on here. 15. KC- Marcus Spears, another who is the best defensive player on the board pick. 16. NO- Jammal Brown, the gods smile on Nawlins. Mayberry goes inside. Brown starts then goes to LT in '06. |
.17 Sweet Sixteen
I sure like our pick....i do think Brown will be available at 16
.17 Sweet Sixteen
I like your mock but for alex Barron to fall down so close to our hands turns my stomach. That being said i can see all of your prediction :thumbup:

[align=left]Lighting for tillandsias should be bright but filtered. They should not be left in the direct sun in the summer months, this will cause the plant to become sunburned. Tillandsias like direct sun from November to March in North America. Fresh moving air is advisable, but most important is the need for bright filtered light.[/align]
[align=left]The thicker or stiffer the leaves, and the more grey or white their color, the more light the plant need. These light-colored, thick or stiff leaved plants grow in full sun in their native habitats, and can often tolerate full sun in humid areas outside of their native areas. However, it is recommended that even these types of air plants be grown in brighter shade....between 2000 to 7000 footcandles of light is best. The green to light green airplants with softer leaves are adapted to growing in shady conditions and do best in 2000 to 4000 footcandles of light.[/align]
[align=left]Artificial Light:[/align]
[align=left]Full spectrium artificial light (fluorescent) is best. Plants should be no further than 36" from the fluorescent tubes and can be as close as 6". A four tube 48" fixture works best. Bulbs can be any full spectrium type (Gro-Lux; Repta-Sun; Vita-Lite, etc). Light should be set at 12 hours a day with a timer.[/align]
[align=left]The recommended method of watering is by drenching so the plants end up thoroughly wet, to the point of runoff. For indoor plants, you can do this in the kitchen sink and use a watering can or the sink hose sprayer, it only takes a few seconds to get the plant thoroughly wet. The frequency depends on temperature, humidity, plant species, plant size, and air circulation. For most outdoor and indoor situations, watering 2 to 3 times a week is sufficient. If conditions are hot and dry, water more often. Plants should be given enough light and air circulation to dry in no longer than 4 hours after watering. If air circulation is not good, use an electric fan. Spray misting is insufficient as the sole means of watering even if done daily, but may be beneficial between waterings in dry climates to increase humidity. To check for dryness. look at the leaf bases in the central part of the plant. Plants may look dry, but moisture may be present in the central meristematic area. If this area remaines too wet for too long, the plant may rot.[/align]
[align=left]An alternative watering method is soaking. Soaking is recommended if plants become severely dehydrated, indicated by limp, wrinkled, or curved leaf edges. If symptoms indicate dehydration, drenching usually won't bring the plants out of the dehydrated state, so the plants should be submerged in water for up to 12 hours. Soaking every 10 days to two weeks will keep plants happy and meet the plants needs. After watering, plants with thick fleshy leaves that tend to trap water in their centers, should be turned upside down and shaken to remove trapped water.[/align]
[align=left]Air Circulation:[/align]
[align=left]Following each watering, Tillandsias should be given enough light and air circulation to dry in 4 hours or less. Do not keep plants constantly wet or moist. If plants are allowed to stay wet for too long, fatal rot can develop.[/align]
[align=left]Optimum temperatures range for tillandsias is 50 to 90 degrees F, but they can tolerate temps from freezing to above 100 F. Do not expose to freezing temperatures.[/align]
[align=left]Use Bromeliad fertilizer (17-8-22) twice a month at half strength. It is great for blooming and reproduction. Other water-soluble fertilizers can be used at 1/4 strength (Rapid-Grow; Miracle-Grow; Peters, etc.) if bromeliad fertilizer is not available. Do not fertilize newly recieved plants for at least three weeks.[/align]
[align=left]Mounting Tillandsias:[/align]
[align=left]Mount plants on almost anything, (no pressure-treated wood) driftwood, manzanita, seashells, coral, lava rock, using a non-water soluble glue as "Liquid Nails", E-6000 craft glue, or just silicon caulk #1. Set plants on prospective mount, if you like the arrangement, place the glue on the mount, then place the plant on the glue. Larger plants may be supported with fishing line until the glue drys.[/align]

Man Group discussing deals with SAC Capital and GLG Partners
March 29th, 2010 | ||
Man Group Plc, which has more $40 billion in assets under management, is reportedly looking into new investments and acquisitions. A recent Bloomberg article states that Man Group is discussing investing in or distributing funds of Steven A. Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors LLP. Man Group is also evaluating an acquisition of GLG Partners Inc. (NYSE: GLG), which manages $22.2 billion in over forty funds. Man Group's trading program called Man AHL Diversified Plc, which makes up approximately half of the firm's assets, lost 17% in 2009 and has barely changed in 2010 according to Bloomberg data. Peter Clarke, Man Group's CEO, told investors on Wednesday that he aims to boost the firm's equity long-short strategies, possibly through accessing or acquiring other hedge funds. | ||

Australia: The Great Ocean Walk
The Great Ocean Road has long been one of Australia's top attractions. But now there's an even better way to admire the southern coast: a 57-mile trail called the Great Ocean Walk
At 7 A.M., we wake up to muesli and fresh farm-raised eggs. All this pampering and we haven't even worked up a sweat yet, so I'm eager to get started. Our first day is by far the hardest. We begin at what must be one of the steepest parts of the trail, about 19 miles in. After a quick, sharp ascent, we see the ocean stretching out in front of us, one long mass of crashing waves and coves underneath high, green cliffs. We're hundreds of feet up, and yet the waves are so loud we have to raise our voices to be heard.
Over six hours of hiking, we see waves, hills, and coves; waves, hills, and coves. We become blasé about even the most dramatic view. We grill Simon about all the local plants, and his answer tends to be, "That's a good question...." The Great Ocean Walk is still new, so we cut him some slack about not being the world's greatest expert on the flora. Instead we ask him about other things, such as the huge first-aid kit he's hauling--he has an arsenal of stories about the harrowing rescues he's made--as well as how likely it is we'll see a snake (very) and how likely it is we'll be bitten by a snake (not at all).
At a certain point on any vacation, a person can grow a little weary of talking only to her spouse--and Simon's quiet demeanor isn't much of a distraction. I'm hopeful we'll run into some grizzled Australian walkers, but we don't come across a single person the entire day. The view does remind me of the California coast, but there's no chance you could pass a day there without seeing another person, car, or even a building. It's a remarkable thing to have a place like this all to yourself.
"Welcome to our center of well-being," says Marianne Rieve, handing us cups of organic berry tea. She and her husband, Bryan O'Neill, opened the three-room Castle Cove B&B last December. Practitioners of reflexology, Reiki, and massage, they do treatments in the living room for $45 an hour. They also have plenty of interesting things to talk about. In her former life, Marianne worked at Sotheby's in London, where she investigated suspected reproductions of famous pieces.
Marianne and Bryan's 1960s farmhouse blends influences from their past and present careers. It's decorated with restored antiques, Egyptian watercolors, and dreamcatchers, and the rooms all have the most comfortable orthopedic mattresses and pillows. We're scheduled to stay here two nights, hiking in from one direction one day, the other the next (Marianne and Bryan drop off their guests at the trailheads).
On our way to Johanna Beach, a sometime site for the World Championship Tour of surfing, a thuggish-looking alpha-male kangaroo blocks our path and stares us down. We stop and look around. There must be at least 20 of them--a 'roo colony on the ridge. Lizzie told us that a group of kangaroos is called a "mob," and now I understand why. Simon takes the lead, assuring us that the mob boss isn't looking for trouble: "If harassed, a kangaroo will give you a bit of a box, but otherwise, they'll leave you alone." Sure enough, we come away unpummeled, with plenty of photographs. There's nothing like seeing a kangaroo to remind you just how far away from home you are.
Australia is fun because it's familiar enough to be easily navigated, but different enough to keep things interesting. Take the plants, for instance: The strangest is the grass tree (the "bastard bush," as Simon calls some other plant, doesn't live up to its nickname). The top of a grass tree looks like sea grass, and the bottom resembles the prickly outside of a pineapple. The plant thrives in the Otways region, and at one point along the trail, we're up to our necks in the soft bristles. It feels as if we're walking through a car wash.
A lot of people treat the Great Ocean Road like it's simply a highway to the Twelve Apostles, limestone formations off the coast. In fact, Marianne and Bryan get a lot of late-night, last-minute guests who pull over when they realize exactly how far the Apostles are from Melbourne (the 169-mile drive takes about five hours, because the road is very twisty).
The Apostles--there are actually 13, but not all are visible from the outlook--are the result of the erosion of the cliffs. The erosion continues: The "ninth Apostle" crumbled last year. On our last morning, following a short loop hike, we drive 30 minutes past the end of the Great Ocean Walk to see the formations.
The Apostles are stunning, like statuesque jigsaw-puzzle pieces that have drifted away from the puzzle. And they're definitely worth a visit. But to be honest, I'm a little bit underwhelmed. The viewpoint parking lot is full, and for the first time in days, Michael and I are surrounded by a mob of another kind: tourists.
How to walk the Walk
The ideal time to do this walk is late October to mid-May, spring through fall in Australia. The rest of the year, it's too cold and wet. Ecotrek customizes trips in terms of length, difficulty, and sites (011-61/8-8346-4155, ecotrek.com.au). Booking with Ecotrek makes the planning infinitely easier, but it's also possible to drive yourself and stay at the inns we visited. The Cape Otway Centre for Conservation Ecology starts at $183, and includes guided day and night walks and breakfast (011-61/3-5237-9297, capeotwaycentre.com.au). Castle Cove B&B, in Glenaire, starts at $84 (011-61/3-5237-9100).

Hard Pea-Sized Lump Back of Leg -06/11/2010 |
Hello, I just returned from a long flight. I noticed a hard pea sized lump back of leg just below the pit of knee. Hurts if pressed. I fly often, and wonder if it could be a clot, or need urget attention. Flying again in a few days. Thank you.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor to evaluate this further.

Singh, Madan Kumar and Jayaraman, Narayanaswamy and Rao, DS Shankar and Prasad, S Krishna (2008) Effect of the C-2 hydroxyl group on the mesomorphism of alkyl glycosides: synthesis and thermotropic behavior of alkyl 2-deoxy-D-arabino-hexopyranosides. In: Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 155 (2). pp. 90-97.

A homologous series of alkyl 2-deoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranosides and alkyl 2-deoxy-beta-D-arabino-hexopyranosides were synthesized, upon glycosylation of 1-alkanols (from C-8 to C-18 alkanols) with ethyl 2-deoxy-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-D-arabino-hexopyranoside, followed by a deprotection. The thermotropic behavior of these new types of alkyl glycosides was investigated. It was observed that the beta-anomers of these alkyl glycosides, bearing nonyl to tetradecyl alkyl chain are mesomorphic, exhibiting monotropic smectic A phase. In contrast, the alpha-anomers are all non-mesomorphic. An effort to identify the liquid crystalline behavior of binary mixtures of the alpha- and beta-anomers was undertaken and it was found that mixtures containing equimolar amounts of the anomers exhibited rnesomorphic behavior. A fine balance of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic components within the molecule is also found to be important for the alkyl 2-deoxy glycosides to form the mesophase.

Frazier batting 5th.
Even in the expanse of Dodger Stadium and with no Joey Votto to get on base, I'm still betting that he knocks in at least one run tonight and four in the series.
Bailey is going the wrong direction lately. Time to bounce back and pitch 6 innings without giving up more than 2 runs tonight.
This will probably be Bailey's last start unless he starts getting his stuff back. The last 2 games and really the last 5, he has looked exhausted aka the gimp.
I see a switch with Chapman.
We will see. One of the reasons the Reds started Chapman out in the pen was to control his innings. Now he has a free path toward starting the rest of the season if he succeeds. The Reds also need to rest and try Bailey in the pen. I suspect shorter, daily stints would be easy for him to regain his stuff. Alot of pitchers have had to make the conversion over the years because they weren't strong enough to start. Starting takes stamina and strength. Homer has struggled with this his entire major league career.
The last time he actually pitched with his full stuff was against the Phillies.......in the 2010 NLDS. Sad. Better rebuild him now then let him decline toward nothing and have no value before another team does.
Simply not true. Chapman was in the bullpen in April out of necessity with the injuries to Madson, Masset and Bray. With two of those three still down and the current five starters all pitching at an acceptable level, Chapman will remain in the pen all season barring injury.
Just curious what your recommended course of action with Homer would be, then? Would you advise rebuilding him in the bullpen? You know he is out of options and we can't assign him to AAA on a whim any more, right? If we designated him for assignment, you can bet your house the Reds wouldn't get another sniff at him clearing waivers.
Homer takes longer than probably anyone on the staff, so he's a poor fit for the bullpen stuff not withstanding.
So short of a trade, I'm not sure where you'd see him factoring in... at least in a capacity where you see the Reds being able to rebuild him... at least this year.

Ledger died of accidental overdose
NEW YORK -- Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of painkillers, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medication and other prescription drugs, the New York City medical examiner said Wednesday.The cause of death was "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine," spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement.
The medical examiner's office only provided generic names, so it is unknown whether he took generic or brand-name drugs. Police had said they found six types of prescription drugs, including sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication, in Ledger's apartment.
Oxycodone is a painkiller marketed as OxyContin and used in other painkillers such as Percodan and Percocet; hydrocodone is used in a number of painkillers, including Vicodin.
Diazepam and alprazolam are the generic names for the anti-anxiety drugs Valium and Xanax, and the other two drugs are sleep aids commonly sold under the brands Restoril and Unisom.
Borakove wouldn't say what concentrations of each drug were found in Ledger's blood, or whether one drug played a greater part than another in causing his death.
"What you're looking at here is the cumulative effects of these medications together," she said.
The ruling comes two weeks after the 28-year-old Australian-born actor was found dead in the bed of his rented SoHo apartment.
Ledger's family returned to the actor's hometown of Perth, Australia, on Tuesday to prepare for his funeral. Arrangements were private.
In a statement released through Ledger's publicist, the actor's father, Kim, said Wednesday: "While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage."
Heath Ledger was discovered by his masseuse Jan. 22 after she arrived for an appointment that afternoon. She entered his bedroom to set up for the massage and found him unresponsive, and proceeded to call Mary-Kate Olsen three times over the next 9 minutes before dialing 911. Ledger had been dead for some time, and police say no foul play occurred. Police said they found a rolled-up $20 bill near the bed.
Ledger, nominated for an Oscar for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," had returned to New York from London, where he had been filming a $30 million Terry Gilliam film, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," days before his death. He said in a November interview that his roles in the Batman movie "The Dark Knight" and the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" had taken a toll.
"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told The New York Times. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he had taken two Ambien pills, which only gave him an hour of sleep.

Max 6x project using jit.matrix & jit.cellblock to animate a Novation Launchpad S display.
The aim of this project was to produce a video that represented the origin of the samples used in the Scattered Voices: Part II recordings, as well as having a link to the content of the actual recordings themselves. Part two brought us to a scrapyard near Liverpool to record sound and video for the project.
Sound chopper 2 is a stand alone application built in Max/MSP.
Sound Chopper 2 features a granulator, stretcher, pitch shifter, slicer and tremolo, panner, bit crusher, 8 different delays (mono and stereo) and 8 filters.YOUR BEST MOD FRIEND TED is a Max For Live highly editable LFO that may act also as a function generator. With TED's signal, you can modulate any parameter in Ableton Live: from other devices's parameter, to Live's UI, to any third party plug-in. TED is very easy to use: just click the "select" toggle, then click the parameter in your Ableton Live set to apply its modulation signal. It is composed of three main areas: the main oscillator, with 6 morphable waveforms (SINE <-> TRIANGLE <-> SAWTOOTH <-> PULSE 50%/50% <-> PULSE 90%/10% <-> RANDOM ), a sample and hold circuit with adjustable amount, and an effect section. The effect section contains a wave-folding effect that may act as wave-folder, wave-wrapper or wave-clipper, a smoothing effect and a scalable output, where you can select the minimum and the maximum range of modulation. TED is not only an LFO: it can be used as an arbitrary function generator too: this means that you can define how many envelopes you need, then trig them, for both the sample and hold and the main oscillator. TED is also CV/GATE compatible, to use with your CV/GATE compatible hardware, as a modular system.

Battle Against Cancer
The family and friends of Robert Shannon are uniting to raise money to help with his battle against colon cancer. Please show your support!
Most of you are probably aware that I was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer that metastasized to my lung last year. I underwent surgery to remove the tumor in March of 2010 and embarked on a regimen of chemotherapy over the last year. All signs were that the chemo was working until an issue came up with my insurance and the chemotherapy stopped. I have just recently had my insurance reinstated. However, during the 5 months that the treatments stopped, the cancer has spread to my brain. I'm about to start radiation next week to hopefully remove the 3 lesions in my brain. A new chemotherapy regimen will follow immediately after.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to work during treatments and the high cost of medical treatment, plus alternative treatment, has been detrimental even though I now have health insurance. I currently have over $200k in medical bills and those totals will only escalate during this fight. The diagnosis is stressful enough and I don't want to worry over petty finances when I really need to focus on healing. If we all pitch in what we can, together we can make a huge difference in my recovery and day to day life right now. I want to have the best treatment possible. I'm doing everything I possibly can to beat this, but right now we need your help. Please help me and my family in our time of need
You're more than welcome to send donations in my name to the following address. Thank you so much for your love and support!

I just wanted to post a quick update: the Manga project I'm working on is not going to remain unfinished. I will complete this! I just got back from a 3 week trip to South Africa, and I will resume writing after I read some books that came in the mail while I was gone.
(Sorry for the low quality pic, I just wanted to show you guys that I have received the books)
Anyways, I don't know when the next part will be finished, but it will be at least 2 weeks. This project will be finished in it's entirety, so don't think otherwise.
QUICK EDIT: I've decided after I finish the rest of the parts I'm going to re-create Part 5. I think I just busted it out to show some progress but I don't think there are enough image examples to really visualize the points I was making. Also, I'm believe I stated that the comparisons and contrasts between western and eastern comics would be limited to mostly appearing in parts 7 and 8, but I think I'm just going to make comparisons and contrasts throughout every part. I think it would flow better that way.

Wheatfields - EP
Wheatfields is comprised of six story-rich songs hallmarked by Gant's smoky barroom voice. He's a colourful Calgarian who has led a colourful life and he peppers his songs with barrroom archetypes and lessons he's learned from being on road. There's some Jerry Jeff in here, a bit of Materick and a whole lot of western images latched to a superb sounding ensemble that take turns breaking out and soloing. Grant is breaking out himself and taking the album on the road using Greyhound buses and taxi cabs. This follows last year's Festival Express, when he travelled and performed on VIA Rail trains. Inventive he is. You can watch the videos for "The Way It Goes" and "Wheatfields" via Vimeo and then judge for yourself whether you can resist hearing more.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway insists the club will not be any different following Karl Oyston's resignation as chairman.
Oyston stepped down with immediate effect on Thursday, but will remain as acting chief executive of the Barclays Premier League newcomers until the end of the season or a new appointment is made.
"For this club not to have him involved in it is ridiculous and he will be here, doing the same job," Holloway said.
He continued: "It might be a different title, but he is yet to talk to me about it and I don't really care, because I wouldn't have signed with this club if he wasn't going to be doing the things that he does.
"I am sure he will do them, whatever title he has got or is given. This place won't change and neither will I."
Reports have suggested Oyston had become disillusioned with the business side of top-flight life following Blackpool's promotion from the Championship in May.
Asked if he thought Oyston was upset about football agents, Holloway said: "I don't think he's particularly upset.
"I think he's shocked and not willing to play the games that the shed-loads of money that everyone thinks you have got gives you.
"He is not going to play those games because all he is concerned about is the player himself, trying to do a fair deal for the football club and trying to do a good deal for the player - like the young player we have got coming up today (Thursday) hopefully.
"It was quite a shock for me this summer, but I don't blame agents - they are just trying to do what they think is best for their client and themselves, and they expect to get paid for doing it. But what they normally get paid and what we pay them is two totally different amounts."

Steamboat Springs State officials have finalized the first set of road projects that are guaranteed to get federal stimulus money, and no Steamboat Springs-area proposals are among them.
Some local requests made the second- and third-tier lists, however. The Transportation Commission approved the "A" list, the highest-priority projects, and Gov. Bill Ritter certified it this month. Of more than $300 million for those projects, $47.8 million will go to Region 3, which includes Northwest Colorado.
Steamboat's proposals don't appear until the "B" and "C" lists. Lincoln Avenue improvements and two projects on Colorado Highway 131 are on the "B" list, and U.S. Highway 40 west of Steamboat is on the "C" list.
"The more of these projects that go, the more jobs we can save and, better yet, create," Routt County Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush said.
She has helped prioritize the projects as part of the Northwest Transportation Planning Region and the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee. Planners from municipalities across the state have been proposing and prioritizing transportation projects for years, she said.
The Northwest TPR consists of Routt, Moffat, Rio Blanco, Jackson and Grand counties.
"We're lucky because we've got this bottom up, local to regional to statewide planning process," Mitsch Bush said. Ritter certified but did not select the "A" list projects, she said.
In the first round of funding, Region 3 is slated to receive $46.1 million for road and bridge projects and $1.7 million for enhancement projects. Pedestrian- and bicycle-related plans are part of the enhancement category, Mitsch Bush said.
Routt County's projects on the "B" list include downtown Lincoln Avenue improvements. The project is already in CDOT's budget and scheduled to begin this fall, but the city still is seeking stimulus funding.
The federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act requires projects to move quickly. Proposals must be submitted for contractor bids by July 1, Regional CDOT spokeswoman Nancy Shanks said.
"As these are awarded, we'll also have information on where the contractor is from, where the subcontractor is from and how many people are put to work," Shanks said.
She also noted that the economic benefits would include lodging, food and gas purchases by construction workers.
States that don't meet federal deadlines could lose funding, Mitsch Bush said, adding that some of that money could find its way to Colorado "B" and "C" projects. Those proposals also could get funding if something stymies a Colorado project and it needs to be replaced, Shanks said.
Funding could come their way if stimulus money frees up cash initially slated for "A" list projects, some of which have been planned for years, Mitsch Bush said.
"Somehow, those projects on the 'B' list are probably going to be funded," Mitsch Bush said.
On the "B" list are chip seals and preventative maintenance for the U.S. 40 and Colo. 131 intersection and improvements to Colo. 131 south of Steamboat. The latter would add eight-foot shoulders and climbing lanes to a five-mile stretch of road.
"That will make it much nicer both for motorized vehicles and also for bicycles," Mitsch Bush said.
The Lincoln Avenue upgrades would cost $10.9 million, the chip seal would cost $2.5 million and the Colo. 131 improvements would cost $6.8 million.
Many "C" list projects are not as far along in the planning stages, Mitsch Bush said. The list includes work on Colorado Highway 13 north of Craig, resurfacing and shoulder widening on Muddy Pass and the first phase of U.S. 40 west of Steamboat.
If the "B" projects get funding, some of those "C" projects probably will, too, Mitsch Bush said.
"There are still lots of question marks, which are probably, in the next six weeks or so, going to become much clearer, particularly in terms of the 'B' and 'C' lists," she said.
