Plastics spring back fast imo, and metal surrounded by plastic as well. The bare metal shouldn't spring back so much though, especially if you make a "sharp" bend as opposed to a "soft" one.
Kind of hard to explain but if your bending area is small you will have something like a 'V' creating a sharp bend. If you have a big bending area, it will be more round and like a 'U' and would be a soft bend. LOL

Allergies and Diabetes
Seasonal changes can prompt changes in the body. The temperature or even the amount of time a person can spend in or outdoors can affect diabetes management. Along with the seasons, especially spring and summer, often come allergies for many people and an additional link in the chain of events that may affect blood glucose numbers.
Common allergy symptoms include:
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- Itchy nose, eyes and roof of mouth
- Sneezing
- Stuffy nose
- Pressure in the nose and cheeks
- Ear fullness and popping
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Hives
Blurry vision is another common effect of allergies, but this must be watched carefully as it is equally a sign of diabetes and diabetic vision complications.
The FDA regulates medications that offer allergy relief. Many of these medications can be found over the counter (OTC), but in persistent cases, your doctor may prescribe a special course of treatment for you.
These medications typically fall under one of five categories.
1- Corticosteroids
Steroids, known medically as corticosteroids, help prevent and treat inflammation by blocking allergic reactions. They prevent and treat nasal stuffiness, sneezing, and itchy, runny nose due to seasonal or year-round allergies. They can also decrease inflammation and swelling from other types of allergic reactions. Most corticosteroids require a prescription.
A side effect of steroids is elevated blood sugar. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar more frequently if you are required to take steroids.
Steroids are available as pills, for serious allergies or asthma; inhalers, for asthma; nasal sprays, for seasonal or year-round allergies; creams, for skin allergies; or as an eye drop, for allergic conjunctivitis. Your doctor may prescribe a steroid in addition to other allergy medications.
Nasal steroid sprays reduce the reaction of the nasal tissues to inhaled allergens. These are typically sprayed into the nose once or twice a day to treat inflammation. This helps relieve the swelling in your nose so that you feel less stopped-up. Nasal steroid sprays are available with a prescription from your doctor. You won't notice their benefits for up to 2 weeks after starting them, so they must be taken daily to be of benefit -- even when you aren't feeling allergy symptoms.
Nasal steroids include Beconase, Flonase, Nasocort, Nasonex, Rhinocort, Veramyst, and generic fluticasone, which are used to treat nasal allergy symptoms.
Inhaled steroids include Azmacort, Flovent, Pulmicort, Asmanex, Q-Var, Alvesco, and Aerobid, which are used to treat asthma. Advair and Symbicort are inhaled drugs that combine a steroid with another drug to treat asthma. Inhaled steroids are available only with a prescription.
Eye drops include Alrex and Dexamethasone, while oral steroids may be Deltasone or Medrol, also called prednisone.
Your doctor may prescribe steroid pills for a short time or give you a steroid shot if your symptoms are severe or if other medicines aren't working for you.

What is jailbreaking? Jailbreaking is the name given to the process which allows you to access the full features and functionality of your Apple device by enabling privileged control of the operating system. On Android devices this is known as "rooting". The term jailbreaking tends to be synonymous with Apple devices although it is also used to describe the same process on some other devices, such as the Playstation3. What does jailbreaking my device do? In simple words, it allows access to the entire IOS filesystem, which in turn means you can install applications and modify files which Apple does not allow on a "stock" device. For more technical users, services such as SSH and FTP are easily enabled, allowing you to conveniently manage files directly on the device rather than being tied to iTunes and the restrictions it imposes. Those familiar with OSX, Linux, or Unix will recognise IOS as it is a unix-like POSIX-compliant operating system. Is jailbreaking legal? Yes, it is generally accepted that jailbreaking is legal. In the USA, the Copyright Office recognised an exemption to the DMCA to permit jailbreaking, but the exception must be reviewed every 3 years. In Europe and the UK it is a little more of a grey area, but the same general legal provisions stand true. People are entitled to modify equipment they own to allow them to inter-operate with other services, provided it doesn't breach copyright. I heard jailbreaking allows me to get free apps, is this true? Getting apps for free which should normally be paid for is piracy, plain and simple. Pirates need to jailbreak their devices as a first step to allow them to use cracked applications, but jailbreaking alone does not enable piracy. The discussion of piracy and how to enable it is against the rules of this forum. We do not support or condone piracy for any reason, and any discussion of it will result in a warning and may ultimately result in a ban. But if I JB I have to stop using the App Store and iTunes, right? NO! Jailbreaking in no way interferes with how you work on your iPad today. You can carry on using and purchasing Apps from the App store and syncing and purchasing music, films, and all other media with iTunes as normal. Think of jailbreaking as an enabler. It does not remove your ability to do what your iPad was designed for, it just enhances it! iTunes and the App Store don't notice you are jailbroken and don't treat you any differently to when you were running stock IOS. The only exception to this is if you are being a dirty rotten pirate, but you know not to do that, don't you? I heard jailbreaking could brick my iPad or render it useless, should I be concerned? NO! There has, to our knowledge, never been a truly bricked iPad as a result of jailbreaking. The term "brick" should generally only be used to describe a device which cannot under any circumstances be recovered or restored to an operational state. Apple devices are designed with with a failsafe restore mode, known as "Device Firmware Update" or DFU mode for short. DFU mode is activated by a hardware button combination, and as such as no dependency on the state, operational or otherwise, of the IOS firmware. Unless you have a broken "home" or "power" button on your device (or other hardware defect) you will always be able to get into DFU mode and therefore restore your iPad to factory defaults via iTunes should something go wrong. I heard jailbreaking voids my Apple warranty, should I be concerned? NO! But, If you take a jailbroken device into an Apple store they may refuse to service it on the grounds that you have modified it which breaks the license agreement between you and them. In that respect your warranty is void. However, you can easily remove a jailbreak from any device before you submit it for warranty repair. Even if you have a hardware fault, there are some simple logical steps you can take to shield the jailbroken status of your device from Apple if you absolutely have to present it to them jailbroken. But the easiest thing to do is connect your device to iTunes, press "restore". Your device will be back to factory freshness and Apple will never know that it was previously jailbroken. The do not have any special "tools" which can detect if it was jailbroken despite what you may have heard! I've read that Jailbreaking will drain my battery faster, is this true? No! There is nothing in the actual jailbreak which will cause your iPad battery to drain faster. Nor will it interfere with your wireless or 3G connection in any way. However, jailbreaking will allow you to add tweaks and applications to your iPad which may, either through their deliberate design or because of software bugs, stress the battery more than normal. For example, an app which enables true multitasking, such as "Backgrounder" will make several applications run concurrently on your device. This will certainly drain your battery faster than a stock device which can only run one foreground task. How to I remove the jailbreak, or un-jailbreak my iPad? If you try it out and don't like it, you can remove all traces of a jailbreak by connecting the device to iTunes and restoring it to stock IOS. Simply connect the device to iTunes, put the device in DFU mode, and press the "restore" button. More information on DFU Mode and how to activate it can be found here - http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/27489-dfu-mode-dummies.html You should alway do this if you are taking a device back to an Apple store for warranty repair. Any Apple store employee should service your device as normal, provided you have removed the jailbreak before you give it to them. They will not be able to tell the device was jailbroken, even using their diagnostic toolset. Always plead ignorance if they ask. The best answer is "What is jailbreaking?". If they direct you to this post then all bets are off! You've mentioned DFU mode twice, tell me more! You can put your device into a special firmware upgrade state called "Device Firmware Update" or DFU mode for short. Once in this state, any iPad should accept a valid firmware restore request when connected to iTunes. To attain DFU mode it is often easiest (but not essential) to start from a powered off state, and immediately power on and press the "home" and "power" buttons together for exactly 10 seconds then release the "power" button and continue to hold "home". At around the 15 second mark the device will enter DFU mode although it will still show a black screen. The timing is critical and many people complain their device won't enter DFU mode when they first attempt it. If you see the Apple logo, you messed it up. Be assured, it is all about your timing and nothing to do with your device, unless you are unlucky enough to have a hardware button fault. Practice time and time again. Do not be distracted by the fact that the device resets at the 7 second mark. This is normal and you must ignore it. Once you get the knack you will be able to put any iPad into DFU mode in your sleep by simply pressing both buttons, counting to ten and then taking your finger off the power button. Most of the recent jailbreak tools help you put your device into DFU mode by providing on-screen instructions and countdowns. This makes the process much easier for beginners and is a good way to learn the process and the timings required. There are lots of helpful YouTube demos of it as well. What happens after I jailbreak my iPad? After the iPad is jailbroken, new 3rd party applications can be installed from "Cydia" which is an application installed to your homescreen during the jailbreak process. Think of it like an app store for jailbroken apps. For the more technical audience, Cydia is a front-end for APT and the dpkg system allowing it to provide packages of files for installation via a decentralised system of repositories. Wikipedia has an excellent article on Cydia with plenty of detail on its purpose, function, and history. Cydia can be a bit daunting at the beginning, but getting familiar with it is the key to getting the most our of your experience. Some applications you will want to try out will not work on your iPad. It can be a bit "trial and error". Use the search features of the forum and ask questions when you get stuck with a unique problem. Just be prepared to restore if you get a bit too adventurous, and remember you can't truly break (or brick) your iPad with an app! I'm sold! How do I go about jailbreaking? First of all, remember the magic word....backup! Connect to iTunes and do a full sync & backup, just in case. Then dive into the Jailbreaking Methods sticky in the Hacking Section to help you identify the right jailbreaking approach for your particular set-up. Happy Jailbreaking fellow Hackers!
Than Max...you saved me from buying a Jail Breaking for Dummies book! - LoL Really appreciate the detailed responses to some very basic questions some of us had.
This is great info - thank you! A quick question though: I know what SHSH Blobs are (thanks Google!) I do not need to back them up before jailbreaking, correct? I only need to do that if my iPad firmware gets updated, so I can go back to a version of firmware that can be jailbroken? So for example, if I jailbreak, and the next time I sync with iTunes it tells me there is an update available I can simply decline that update, and no problems. Then when R4 comes out, or there is an update I really want, if I wait for that firmware to be jailbroken, I can restore, update, then jailbreak again, all without messing with SHSH Blobs... Just trying to be clear. I am a business user and my iPad is my day-to-day "laptop" at this point. I just don't want to end up with a bricked device because I just didn't know how something worked.
Thanks, I learned a lot! I'm a total NOOB when it comes to the iPad cuz i just got mine about a week ago. I purchased a couple of apps like TODO and POCKETMONEY, from my understanding, if I jailbreak my iPad, will I lose all the apps i got? Is there a way for me to back up those apps before I jailbreak it? If there's an update for the iPad, will updating it erase all my apps and settings? thanks for help!
If I want to reverse the jailbreak will I be able to and keep my app data? Is the result of backing up a jailbroken iPad and then restoring an unjailbroken iPad that has the same app data (e.g. saved games, ...) as the jailbrokend iPad? Also, if I accept an update to 4.0 in the fall for example, will I be able to take that update and be ok (understand I will no longer be jailbroken)? -Greg
This is in response to Greg aswell, yes, the itunes back up holds all your settings (mail, contacts etc) and your apps purchased from the itunes store and it will work either which way (jailbroken or not). Backup in iTunes is done by right clicking on your iPad in the lefthand column and pick "Backup".

JACKSONVILLE — Caleb McKinney got smarter between his junior and senior years and, in turn, achieved a goal of his before graduating from Jacksonville Christian last month.
"Back in my junior year and before that, I would just try to play my game and not worry about what the course was set up for," he said. "I would try to birdie every hole or pull off miracle shots from the trees and just stuff that could get you in a lot of trouble. This year, I feel like I've gotten a lot smarter on the course, laying up when I need to or taking a bogey rather than trying to make a shot from nowhere and end up doubling or tripling.
"I talk with my dad all the time, and the worst thing I want to do is bogey. If I'm in a bad situation off the tee or whatever, I tell myself the worst thing that can come out of the hole is a bogey. That's all I want, I'm not going to push to try to create a miracle."
McKinney tied for second at the Calhoun County golf tournament and tied for 10th at the Class 1A-2A state tournament. He is the Calhoun County boys golfer of the year.
Even though his senior season ended on a high note, there's still a "what if" curiosity there after McKinney played in the state tournament with bronchitis.
"It was very frustrating to be sick in the tournament. It was a dream of mine to play in state and then when I get there I'm all of a sudden sick," McKinney said. "I'd been dealing with bronchitis a little bit before, but the day before we left for the tournament I could feel it coming back up. It was frustrating but, at the same time, there was nothing I could do about it except play golf and try to finish."
McKinney decided to fight through the illness and play the tournament because "what I love to do is play golf."
"It was really tough mentally and physically. I was drained by the end of it," he said. "I just tried to play through it. I had a lot of support down there and had people taking time to make sure that I was OK. I just tried to do what I could and that's something I'm proud of."
Before reaching state, McKinney continued his tradition of being a one-person team, which transitioned over from Faith Christian the season before.
While McKinney said he would have loved to be part of a team, it wasn't all bad. He only had to worry about how he played and he also loved the people at JCA.
"Everyone always says that your senior year is your toughest year and you're trying to make decisions about college and everything, but I tried to have a good time and enjoy the year," McKinney said. "I felt like coming to JCA was a good thing for me. I like the people there and they're really nice and supportive of me and golf. It was a great situation for me.
"I had a lot of help as far as getting my matches in. Sacred Heart's coach, coach (Curtis) Hill, and all the coaches around the county were always telling me that if I needed anything to call them and they'd set up a match if I needed them to. I thought that was really nice of them, and I want to thank everybody for that."
McKinney's career may not be over. The recent graduate said there are several schools that have offered him, but he's currently trying to decide where he wants to go to college.

Nick Cannon shares cell phone number with fans
Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon was inundated with phone calls on Thursday (11Jun13) after deciding to share his cell number with fans online. The TV personality has been busy promoting the return of his U.S. comedy sketch show Wild 'N Out on Tuesday (09Jul13) and he wanted to celebrate the MTV2 show's high viewing figures by speaking directly to devotees.
In a post on Twitter.com, he wrote, "Just to celebrate WildnOut success I am going to give my cell number out! Call me now and chop it up with your boy! 323 . 388. 5208…
"Obviously some of y'all are going to get the voicemail. My phone is ringing off the hook! I can only talk to one person at a time".
However, his cell phone struggled to handle the high volume of calls pouring in from fans and his mobile device soon shut down.
He later tweeted, "My cellphone just froze up! LOL (laugh out loud) I got a lot of Voicemails tho (sic)! Leave a (number) so I can call you back. Y'all broke my cellphone! LOL."
The popularity of Tuesday night's season premiere helped to give bosses at MTV2 their highest night of ratings since the network's launch in 1996, with an average of 1.1 million viewers tuning in for the programme.

When I first got offered a chance to go meet Matt Atwood, one of the senior managers working on
Mass Effect
, I couldn't believe it. Honestly, there was giddiness, a sensation of vertigo and maybe a tiny girly squawk of glee.
I've long been a fan of BioWare, following the careers of many of the individual developers even before I was paid to do so. Some people might call that stalking—especially when I show them some of the photos I've taken—but either way it doesn't matter.
What does matter is that in the lead-up to the release of
Mass Effect
on the PC, I found myself sat just a coffee table away from a man high up in a company that had defined my hobbies to a massive degree. This is what that man had to say.
Bit-tech: Hi Matt. Why don't you start by telling us what exactly your role at BioWare is?
Matt Atwood:
Well, OK, basically I work in both development and public relations. I work closely with the development team, directly with all the product directors. I do feedback analysis, testing, all sorts.
Click to enlarge
Really, it's the right model of how to work on a game and I'm very surprised that other companies haven't replicated what we do at BioWare. I spend about 40 percent of my time doing PR and 60 percent of the time working with the game producers. It's crazy – I've been in the industry for fifteen years now and this is the job I always wanted. It's great to work with the talent at BioWare.
Bit: Has that job or infrastructure changed at all with the recent merger with Electronic Arts?
The transition is going really well and I can say that completely genuinely. John Riccitiello was our CEO for two and a half years at VG Holdings, so we're very familiar with him and we believe in him.
He's already proving he can do what he said he would too, which was to have studios separated into labels. In fact, if you look back then you see that's what we were doing already at VG Holdings –
John believed in it there too. What EA has done with us is say "
These are the resources we have – take what you want.
" The fans have been sceptical, but our experience has been hugely positive.
Bit: The general fear coming from BioWare fans seemed to be that EA was a bit of a big-boy of the industry – buying up everything. Do you see that consolidation of the market under just a few publishers as a good thing?
Click to enlarge
It's all about the way you do it, I think – but it's a totally natural evolution. If you look at any other entertainment industry then you see that consolidation is totally natural.
Like with films; you have low-budget indie films which are actually owned by these huge companies but operate as separate entities and are very independent. That's what EA is trying to do with studio-labels and it's the right way to do it really – to have that support from a big company but without losing the personality of the studio. There are wrong ways to do it too, but this is the right way.
Bit: But EA hasn't always done it the right way – John Riccitiello admitted long ago that they messed up with Westwood and
Command and Conquer 3
But now he's fixing it, it's great! John's a clever guy and he understands his business absolutely and he's a huge, huge gamer. Everyone at EA is – some of the product managers have multiple level 70

Thread: First Handgun - New or Used?

Not me, but people I talk to on other boards. The charging handle on the 556 is linked to the bolt carrier by a small piece of stamped sheet metal, or something like that.
It's basically just the weakest link of an otherwise very nice rifle. The one 556 I've gotten to plink with was one of the smoothest, most accurate semi autos I've ever had the pleasure of assaulting clays and bottles with. XD

Followup: Nabbed a NIB p229 with NS and 1 magazine for $710 off of Gunbroker, now I'm just waiting for it to arrive at my FFL. It does not have the SRT however. Any of you guys out there know if it's something that's worth shipping it off to Sig to have installed?

After the first DA shot it gives the subsequent SA shots a shorter travel. It is a pretty significant difference from what I've read but I haven't had a chance to compare two side-by-side.
Explanation I found on another site:
What's happening internally: Normally, when you depress the trigger on a DA/SA SIG pistol the firing pin block is pushed out of the way (allow the firing pin to slam past) and then the firing pin block falls down into its blocking position again. The reason the standard gun's reset is so long, then, is because the trigger bar needs to move forward far enough to reset and re-push the firing pin block again. The SRT uses a different safety lever which keeps the firing pin block in the out-of-the-way position through the entire slide cycle, so when the gun comes back into battery all you need to do is reset the trigger bar/sear connection ... which is much shorter.
You can feel what an SRT is like with any SIG. Clear the gun; verify it's clear; remove the slide & barrel; pull the trigger and hold it back; press down on the disconnector (the little arm sticking up from the trigger bar near the right grip panel) while keeping the trigger fully depressed; cock the hammer while keeping the trigger fully depressed; then let the trigger forward until you feel/hear the click. It's a lot shorter. Why? You reset the sear without having to deal with the firing pin block mechanism in the slide.HTFU and join Bullshido on Fitocracy!

Very interesting.
On your first gun, something that subtle will probably not make much of a difference to you.
I'd save that money for ammo and range fee's in the meantime. Simply going out and shooting at this point in your development will give you far greater gains than a slicker trigger. Learn to shoot first, then worry about the fine minutia. JMHO
Train safe bro!

Ditto what Don Gwinn said but gratz on your purchase anyway. As far as the SRT you should work on your fundamental skills before getting all fancy. I'd rather have solid skills that I can transition to other weapons then be used to a feature that is only on my weapon.
With that being said if self defense is your primary reason and you find this helps with your follow up then disregard what I said above. Your life comes above all else....
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence;
Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without spilling your Guinness.

Illustrator Kelly Yates is a long term fan of Doctor Who, and got the dream opportunity to work on the IDW comic series Doctor Who: The Forgotten last year.
Speaking to his local paper, Yates talked about the long-winded path he took from studying sports science to becoming a graphic artist, as well as covering the background on The Forgotten, a ten part series in which each issue features one incarnation of the Doctor to date.
It was a lucky break that got Kelly his first issue of The Forgotten, and he was worked on issues 4 and 6 to date. Thanks to meeting IDW editor Denton J. Tipton with a sample of his artwork at the San Diego Comic Con, Kelly Yates was called into the breach some months later:
"I asked him to keep me in mind for a fill-in issue or one-shot," Yates said. "About two months later, I got an e-mail from him saying 'Opportunity knocking.' The lead artist had an emergency in the family, and they asked, was I able to step in and fill in on issue four."
Yates completed issue 4 of The Forgotten in four and a half weeks, and issue 6 in three.
"I'm a perfectionist, and I'm pretty critical of myself," he said, "Overall, I'm happy I completed this project quality-wise and on time. I would have liked more time, but deadlines are deadlines."

Gibbs and Associates will demonstrate GibbsCAM 2013, highlighting new capabilities such as feature- and knowledge-based machining, contouring and pocketing improvements, and new options for turbomachinery and engine porting specializations. The 2013 release is designed for programming and machining efficiency as well as increased productivity.
GibbsCAM features high speed machining (HSM) capabilities including the use of VoluMill. The HSM capabilities are said to maximize material removal rates by building toolpaths to optimally control tool-cutting factors. The software automatically takes into account options for milling pockets such as the optimal speed of a tool plunging into the material. Variation in tool load is smoothed, enabling higher feeds and faster speeds.
The program also provides multitasking capabilities for both turning and milling. The machine tool's specific configuration is automatically captured by GibbsCAM's settings, and support is provided for an unlimited number of turrets and spindles. Only one set up is required for the machine to transfer the part from spindle to spindle.
GibbsCAM sister software CimatronE from the Cimatron Group will also be displayed. The software is an integrated CAD/CAM program for mold and die makers as well as discrete part manufacturers.

Above, Katie Holmes is on the new cover of Elle magazine — meaning the normally sleepy August issue is bound to be a big seller. Though the interview and photo shoot happened some six weeks before the actress filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, the magazine appears to be scrambling to highlight passages of its cover story that could be seen as pertaining to...something about Tom Cruise, marriage, or whatever. (Kind of like how Marie Claire slapped that divorce-related cover lie on its December cover, which hit newsstands days after Kim Kardashian announced her intention to divorce that tall felluh.) "Katie didn't speak about Tom in a lovey-dovey way at all," a "source" from the magazine tells the New York Post. "She deflected the Tom questions and brought them around to herself." In response to a question about being in her 30s, Holmes said, "I feel sexier. I think in my 20s, it's like you're trying too hard to figure everything out . . . I'm starting to come into my own. It's like a new phase." A new phase! That's a vague enough phrase that it could mean just about anything, but let's all just opt to believe that Katie Holmes was signaling her imminent desire to leave Tom Cruise via generic answers to softball magazine questions. That seems highly likely. [Elle, NYPost]

Chapter 8 : Sighisoara
| Rating: 15+ | Chapter Reviews: 3 |
Background: Font color:
Are you sure its okay? I insisted again. I can always reschedule.
Lisa shot me a look over her magazine. Its fine, Irene, we can handle Freckle on our own. Besides, youre already dressed, and you promised Gavin youll meet him in thirty minutes. Theres not point in backing out now.
Im not I bit my tongue, reminding myself that Lisa was Gavins sister, and they were quite close. She was entitled to feel a little sour about this whole dilemma between me and Gavin. Okay then, but if you need any help, just owl me or something and Ill be right back.
She rolled her eyes. Yeah, sure, no problem, she said dismissively before returning to her reading. I considered asking her what she was thinking, but decided against it. I turned back to the compact mirror I had enlarged to be a full-length one earlier and took a good look at my reflection. There were butterflies in my stomach as I tugged on my red sweater and smoothed out the crinkle in my black jeans, and once again I wondered where Gavin would take me. He sent a small note saying that I should get some Muggle money, but he wouldnt tell me where we would be going to.
There was a brief knock in our door before it swung open to reveal Dawn and Allison. Both looked a little exhausted as they plopped down on the beds, Dawn on mine and Allison next to Lisa. Getting ready for your date? Allison inquired.
I nodded. Hows Freckle?
Hes asleep. We just fed him. Nearly bit off my finger, Dawn said, waving her right hand. There were red stains on her hand, but I knew it wasnt her blood. Feeding dragons turned out to be a nasty business, especially when it included chicken blood.
I took another look at the mirror before putting on my coat and shouldering my bag and turning to the girls. I have to go now. How do I look?
Lovely, and a bit nervous, Dawn grinned. Have fun!
You too, I smiled. See you later! I gave a small wave to the girls and left the room, checking my watch with a quick glance. I still had twenty minutes, so I walked leisurely, smiling and greeting some of my classmates along the way. I knew most of the freshmen didnt leave campus today to take care of their eggs. Yesterday, after I got up, we went to report to Professor DeMonte that our egg had hatched, and he explained that we could leave Freckle in the Infirmary if we wished to have a relaxing weekend and he wouldnt hold it against us when he graded the project. However, he also said that it was better if he was around us as often as possible, especially since he was a newborn and was still learning to trust us. So the girls decided that they would stay behind and look after him while I go on my date. Feeling guilty, I had tried to offer to cancel my date, but they wouldnt hear it, especially Lisa. They had said something about taking turns, and the thought of being alone with Freckle while they took their time out made me shudder.
Gavin was already waiting by the iron gates when I got there, leaning comfortably on the stone pillar with his arms folded across his chest. He spotted me and waved, immediately standing up straighter.
Hi there, he greeted, smiling warmly. You look great today.
Thank you. I returned his smile. You dont look bad either. I did mean that. He was wearing a crisp white shirt and a pair of khakis, looking laid-back yet still very charming. Why couldnt I like him instead of Charlie? So where are we going today? Muggle places, I suppose?
Well, I was thinking either we go to Bran Castle or Sighisoara. Have you been to either one of those? Or would you like to go to somewhere?
I nodded, brightening as I recalled the places he mentioned. Oh, lets go to Sighisoara. I havent seen it in a long time
Gavin nodded. Excellent. Would you mind if we do Side-Along Apparition? Just so we dont arrive at different places. He offered his hand, and I took it tentatively. He had a nice grip, firm but not painful. Ready? I nodded, and we both turned on the spot.
The familiar sensation of Apparating overtook me and I was pleased to find I could keep my balance when my feet finally hit solid ground again. Gavin and I were standing in a shadow of a tall building. Judging from the noises, we were not far from the main street, but we were completely hidden from passer-bys view. Gavin led me into the street, careful so no Muggle spotted us walking out of the shadow.
I hadnt been in Sighisoara for many years, but the town was as familiar as ever. The medieval-style buildings that surrounded us made me feel like I had stepped back in time, back when I was a little girl, skipping down the street with Dad beside me. Many tourists were walking up and down the street, their chatters filling the air. I turned to Gavin and smiled. Where shall we go first? I was starting to feel a bit more at ease, but I removed my hand by pretending to adjust my bag.
Well, where do you want to go? he inquired. I chuckled.
Come on, lets go shopping, I answered, barely containing the excitement in my voice. Without thinking, I took his hand again and pulled him down the road. He laughed, and we began to explore the town.
After a while, I forgot all about keeping my distance. Gavin, more used to the place and the language than I was, took me to the best places. We stopped by different shops, and he helped me talk to the shopkeepers. He even bought me a beautiful bracelet with golden stars dangling from it, despite my many protests. We visited the lots of different popular spots, including the Clock Tower, which stood sixty meters tall on top of the citadel hill. All in all, I was having a good time, and the day was not over yet.
Ever heard a Romanian saying about food? Gavin asked as we looked at the menu for lunch at a small café.
No, what does it say? I asked.
Dragostea trece prin stomac, he recited. I giggled at his accent. It means love passes through the stomach, Gavin said, smiling slightly. Do you think thats true?
Well, I began, trying to not blush, good food definitely helps. Who would want to take their date to a bad restaurant?
A girl with a white apron tied around her waist approached us then, asking in fluent English if we were ready to order. We placed our orders and Gavin turned back to me. Tell me about yourself, he said.
Whats there to tell? I shrugged.
Well, how does it feel to be Ignatius Connellys daughter?
I laughed, and quickly regretted the bitter tone I had let slip. Its pretty normal. At least, until I get here. When I was in Hogwarts, his reputation didnt really mean anything. Here, its kind of overwhelming. I shrugged again, and tried to change the subject. So what about you? Any famous relatives?
Gavin laughed. No, my family isnt that exciting. My parents are Muggles, you see. Lisa and I are the only magical ones in the family. Speaking of which, I see you and Lisa are getting along. Shes hard to live with, isnt she?
No, not at all. I admit shes a bit of sloppy, but shes a great roommate. The conversation came to a halt as the waitress placed our food on the table, and we didnt talk for a while as we began to eat. I had ordered a meatball soup called ciorba de perisoare, and as I ate, I considered asking Gavin about Charlie. The little knowledge I had of Charlie was probably outdated, and who would know him better than Gavin? But before I could figure out a subtle way to bring him up, Gavin had spoken up first.
So I heard your egg hatched yesterday, he said. His face took on a concerned look, and I suddenly realized that he must also have heard of me fainting. My cheeks felt hot, and I smiled sheepishly.
Yeah, it did. Did Charlie tell you what happened? I asked, wondering what Charlie had said about it, and my stomach turned as I thought of what he probably thought of me.
Gavin nodded somewhat hesitantly. He told me you did something that startled Freckle, and he reacted by jumping on you, and you fainted. He looked a little uncomfortable, but still somewhat concerned. Are you okay?
I chuckled. Well, obviously. If I werent fine, I wouldnt be here with you, would I? I hesitated a while before adding, Can you tell Charlie I said thanks? I havent had the chance to thank him myself yesterday.
Sure, I will tell him. Silence fell again between us as we resumed our eating, but this time it felt somewhat awkward. I stole a glance at Gavin, and found him with a pensive expression on his face. The thought that he was somewhat jealous of Charlie or wondering about my friendship with Charlie crossed my mind, but I quickly pushed it aside. It was possible, but I hadnt given him any reason to be jealous, and I was sure that, unfortunately, Charlie hadnt either.
When at last we talked again, the conversation revolved around little tidbits of ourselves. Gavin told me that he majored in Science and Research, looking to work in the Reservation once he graduated. He asked me about what I wanted to take next year, and I told him I hadnt decided yet. I talked to him about PE, and realized that Charlie hadnt told him about his plan to tutor me. I wasnt planning to tell him, so I changed the subject. We joked about my professors as we finished off desserts, and once again I marvelled at how easy he was to talk to. Sadly, it was also a sign that I was only interested in being friends with him, for I knew how difficult it was for me to start a conversation whenever I would be left alone with a guy I liked.
After we paid for our meals (I insisted that we split the bills, since he had already paid for my bracelet), we Apparated back to the campus. It was almost two in the afternoon, and the cool breeze that was starting to blow made me shiver in spite of my coat. Gavin helped me carry my shopping bags and walked me to my dorm, chatting merrily all the way. Meanwhile, I started panicking as we came closer to my room. The last time I went on a first date, my date simply hugged me, because we were both too embarrassed to do anything else. But Gavin definitely wasnt shy, and there was no telling what he was thinking. What should I say? Would he try to kiss me? I flushed furiously and pushed the image out of my mind. I knew I had to talk to him, tell him I wasnt interested in being a couple, but could I?
Well, here we are, I said when we finally got to my door. My heart was pounding wildly as I rummaged in my purse for my key. I smiled to him as I took the bags he was holding. Thank you so much for today. I had a great time.
So did I? Gavin smiled. Maybe next time we can go to Dragostea.
I took a deep breath and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, trying to find the words, and the guts, to tell him that there wouldnt be a next time. Actually, I I think we should stay friends.
I was afraid to look at him, but I gathered my courage and looked up. His expression was a mixture of different emotions that I couldnt quite tell. I felt horrible, but before I opened my mouth to speak, he spoke up. Of course, I completely understand. Ill see you around, then?
Sure, Ill see you around, I nodded, but I was not quite relieved. His smile was somewhat strangled and I couldnt shake off the guilt I was feeling. Thank you for the bracelet, I added.
He nodded without a word, and I hastily unlocked the door and slipped into the room, throwing another smile uncertainly before closing the door behind me. Once inside, I walked over to my bed and plopped down on it. I fingered the bracelet around my wrist and remembered the look on Gavins face. I never thought I would ever be in the position where I was the one breaking someone elses heart, but I knew I had to do it. As cliché as it sounded, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder.
I looked around and realized that Lisa was not in the room, perhaps she was out for lunch. I sighed, knowing I had to be the one to tell her about this. I wondered what she would say when she heard of it.
Just as I thought of it, the door clicked open and Lisa walked in. She raised an eyebrow when she saw me. I ran into Gavin, she said, and I was a bit relieved to hear the lack of accusation in her voice. What did you say?
I sighed, and gestured to her bed. Sit down, Ill tell you everything.

Table ChipsSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Cunning Chris decided to go to his local pub one night in the rain as he was bored at home. As he entered the pub he greeted some old acquaintances, like Jazz Jake and Swift-Hand Steve.
He purchased a drink and sat with his old friends and had an idea how to lighten up the evening. "I have a challenge for you Swift-Hand Steve" said Cunning Chris. "Well bring it on then Cunning Chris" goaded Steve, forgetting how cunning Cunning Chris was. Chris then grabbed a handful of poker chips from behind the bar, scattered them across the table and placed two paper cups by opposite edges. "Right, here we have fifty white chips and fifty black chips. My challenge is that I can place all the black chips in my cup before you can place all the white chips in your cup. The rules are, you must have one hand on the cup at all times, you can only touch one chip at a time, you can only use your hands and you can't use any object to help you gather the chips." "Easy" replied Swift-Hand Steve. A smile had spread across his face, he knew he had the quickest hands in town. "Ok then, Go" Swift-Hand Steve was true to his name and he quickly had over ten chips in his cup before Cunning Chris even had two. But moments later, it was Cunning Chris who wore the giant grin. What had he done to secure his victory? What Next?

Caretaker, 98, dies in cemetery fire in Kennedy
August 7, 2014 11:28 PMBefore Thursday's fatal blaze, in a small structure not much bigger than a tool shed, the old man lived alone.
At 98, Andrew Gupp had lived in front of the two cemeteries on Green Oak Drive in Kennedy that he had cared for almost all of his life.
He had lived in a brick house next door for more than 50 years, but he needed something smaller, and he was looking to take on less responsibility as caretaker. One cemetery would do. So when the small shed-like structure was built about 40 years ago, he added on to it and made it his home, his grandson Mike Gupp said.
From then on, he oversaw only one of the two cemeteries, Ahavath Achim Cemetery. He remained there and looked after the cemetery for more than 30 years, said Beth Fleck, his granddaughter. Everyone knew the man in the small shack.
Mr. Gupp had been married, although his wife is long deceased, and raised two sons. Now, even his grandchildren have children.
His family remembers his selflessness. "He would do anything for anyone else," Mike Gupp said. "He never said 'no' for anything."
A thick smoke, one witness said, streamed from Mr. Gupp's residence early Thursday. Mr. Gupp's neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, said he tried to enter the residence when he noticed the smoke but was unsuccessful. He then reported the fire about 6:30 that morning and watched from the top of his driveway as crews extinguished the flames.
"He was a great man," he said.
Kennedy Fire Capt. Justin Gutt said that when fire crews broke down the door to enter the structure, Mr. Gupp was at the foot of the door and was pronounced dead on the scene. He might have been trying to escape, but that is not certain. The Allegheny County fire marshal's office is investigating the cause of the blaze.
Allegheny Chief of Emergency Services Alvin Henderson said no foul play is suspected and the living room area is likely the room the fire originated.
Mr. Gupp's health had started to ail, Mr. Gutt said, so he used oxygen tanks. Whether those tanks contributed to the fire has not been determined, he added.
"Up until maybe a month ago, you would never know his age — [you would think he was] maybe 65 or 70 years old," said Martin Jacobs, Ahavath Achim Cemetery president. "He was very mobile, but in the last couple of weeks, he started getting some health problems."
Mr. Gupp, or "pap-pap, gramps or pops" as his family liked to call him, was always around, Ms. Fleck said.
Even from a distance, when family members would see the old man cruising along a residential street, a cigarette dangling from his lips, Ms. Fleck always knew it was grandpa, she said.
The speed he drove in his red pickup truck was usually the giveaway. He was the only one who would follow the speed limit, Ms. Fleck said laughing. On some days, she would look outside her back window and see her grandfather tending to her garden, which he did every year. This was the first year he couldn't do it, she said.
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office said the cause and manner of death have not yet been determined as autopsy results are pending.

Steamboat Springs A year later, Mike Diemer still fights back tears when he talks about Sept. 11.
"What a waste," said Diemer, the owner of Johnny B. Good's Diner. "They killed a bunch of moms and dads. What did that accomplish?"
To many in Steamboat Springs, a year has numbed the shock of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, but for New Yorkers living here, the memory still rests close to home.
Diemer moved to Colorado from New York in 1988, but his family is still there.
"My brother was working next door to the towers and my sister watched the whole thing happen from Queens," he said. "People here are now so apathetic, but it's still hard for them back there."
Diemer was on a camping trip near Fruita when the planes hit the towers.
"I came out of the desert on Thursday and checked my messages," he said. "There was a message, 'Mike call home. The East Coast is in flames and we're at war.'"
He couldn't get through to his family, so he called the diner.
"They were basketcases," he said.
That week Diemer joined countless Steamboat residents in an attempt to raise money for the victims.
He and his wife had 250 T-shirts printed and sold them for $10 apiece. He sent the $2,500 that was raised to a Brooklyn firehouse Engine 207, Ladder 110 in honor of that firehouse's lieutenant and current Steamboat resident Kevin Nerney.
"That house took a big hit," Diemer said. "They lost a lot of men."
Diemer visited ground zero last week for the first time since the attacks.
"It's a 16-acre tomb for 2,800 people," he said. "It was tough to see. I think everyone should be required to go there."
On Sept. 11, 2002, a year after the attacks, Diemer is still trying to do anything he can to support victims of the attacks. All firefighters and police officers will eat free today and he plans to donate 11 percent of his profits to the Brooklyn firehouse.
Diemer is also working on a coffeetable book of the crayon drawings young customers made on their placemats after the attacks.
It started with a drawing from Steamboat sisters Valerie, Alexis and Barbara Lezin.
They wrote a message to the firefighters on their placemats and Diemer hung them on the wall of the restaurant.
"After that, it snowballed," he said. "It was the best thing that I got out of all this. It's powerful to see how the kids were affected."
He took more than 200 placemats to a professional printer in New York and when the book is finished, he will donate the proceeds to the New York firefighters.
"These attacks haven't been off my mind since they happened," he said.
Diemer isn't the only Steamboat New Yorker who can't forget.
Chad Gagliano, owner of Levelz and Lupo's in Ski Time Square, held a fund-raiser last year to benefit the Sept. 11 Relief Fund. Performers, a disc jockey and the Levelz staff donated time to the event. All sales and tips $4,414 went to New York.
Matching funds from the Fort Collins Stryker Short Foundation doubled the donation.
Tonight, Gagliano will host another fund-raiser in honor of Sept. 11 at Lupo's.
All the profits from the night will be donated to Colorado wildfire fighting efforts.
He plans to hold a fund-raiser every year on Sept. 11. Every penny raised will go to a different cause each year.
"I grew up in New York," Gagliano said. "I had a lot of friends that passed away and my dad was a cop in New York.
"This is a great day to remember as Americans," he said. "New Yorkers are so rough, but now New York is a changed place. Everyone came together on that day. From now on, it's not about business or profit on that day."

text: The Khaleesi and Zoidberg turn me evilEsther Inglis-Arkell8/29/13 10:00amFiled to: tv recapfuturamazoidberggame of thronesemilia clarkestench and stenchibilitytv761EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkEmilia Clarke, the indirect namesake of 146 unfortunate girls, is a guest voice in this episode of Futurama. Fittingly, this turns me into an extremely evil person with only brief flashes of humanity, Game-of-Thrones-style.There are two plots in this week's episode of Futurama, and all they have in common is their ability to bring out the worst in me. It's a jerky, disconnected episode, but it has some good moments.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe first plot has Zoidberg finally finding romance with a flower vendor after he uses his stink to save her from getting mugged. I enjoyed her worshipful praise of him — "You were so brave and frugal!" — but the romance doesn't work for me. To his credit, Zoidberg is willing to give her up. She can't smell anything, and he gives her a nose transplant, knowing his smell will drive her away. As it turns out, she likes bad smells more than good ones. I would have liked it more if she dumped him, though. The second plot has Bender entering a local tap dance contest. His competitors are assorted well-known Futurama bit characters and one adorable little girl with a heart condition named Tonya. To figure out how adorable she actually is, take a look at her name again — Tonya. Honestly, most of us saw the reveal of her true character coming a mile away, and so the plot doesn't get good until the end. When her heart condition kicks in as she's getting her trophy, and she flatlines onstage with Bender rapturously watching, the plot (and I'm sorry for this) suddenly sprang to life. I was honestly sad when Bender danced on her body and inadvertently restarted her heart. That's right, like Jaime and Cersei, I was hoping for the death of a child.So it's probably for the best that the show is ending in a week.

Postgame report: From the Jazz locker room
By: Pelicans.com
Utah Coach Tyrone Corbin
On the loss
"I thought the guys played hard. They made shots. We turned the ball over 19 times with 33 points. They (the Pelicans) played a better game."
On the team's effort
"We can always be better. But these guys are fighting and they understand where we are and they are still fighting. We made some mistakes and that happens, but these guys are fighting and they are giving it what they have."
Jazz Forward Richard Jefferson
On how much the game changes when Anthony Davis is not playing
"It was big. Free throws and fouls, those type of things happen over a course of a game. You just have to go out there and play against whoever every night. You have to try and execute against the defense and not worry about who you're playing or who is suiting up against you. You have to try and impose your will. They have a lot of talented guys on their team, three All-Stars pretty much with Eric Gordon."
On the effort tonight and in the last few games
"We're playing hard. We had some shots late in the game. We are rarely laying eggs. We're out there competing, four or five minutes we don't do a good job of executing and that can be the learning experience. Coach (Corbin) has done a good job of experimenting with different lineups like playing Derrick (Favors) and Enes (Kanter) more together, doing things different with spacing and the flow."
Jazz Guard Trey Burke
On the play of Tyreke Evans tonight
"You can't take anything away from him. He made buckets in transition and he got his teammates going. Without Anthony Davis we knew he was going to be more aggressive. I've been watching him since high school and that's one of those times I've seen him play like that with the scoring, contributing and controlling the game that way. He's a good player, can't take anything away from him."
On being close to tying or winning the game late and if fatigue hurt their scoring late in the game
"You can say that, I would think that's an excuse. I'm sure other teams are just as tired as well because they play just as many games. We just have to continue to fight and close those games out. We definitely had a chance to win this game tonight. At the end of the day this is our job. We aren't getting discouraged. We're all good players and know we are capable. No matter what we're sticking together."

Ichiro ties record with 10th 200-hit season
Ichiro ties record with 10th 200-hit season
The milestone hit came against Blue Jays starter Shawn Hill. The Blue Jays went on to win the game, 1-0, over the Mariners.
"I think you can imagine how happy I am," Ichiro said through a translator. "I know how tough it is to accomplish 200 hits every season, and it's been another tough one this year, so that's how happy I am inside."
The Mariners dugout, along with the fans at Rogers Centre, gave the Japanese native a standing ovation. Following roughly 30 seconds of applause, Ichiro removed his cap and acknowledged the crowd. The ball, fielded by center fielder Vernon Wells, was promptly retrieved by a Mariners staff member.
Ichiro entered the game with 198 hits. He picked up No. 199 with a third-inning double down the left-field line.
"Today, after I accomplished 200 hits, when I looked to the dugout everyone was celebrating, everyone was pretty happy," Ichiro said. "They were showing that [celebratory] feeling. That's when I finally felt like I could express my feelings in a good way, where I could say I'm happy for what I've achieved."
reaching 200
Player | No. | Years |
Ichiro Suzuki | 10 | 2001-10 |
Wee Willie Keeler | 8 | 1894-1901 |
Wade Boggs | 7 | 1983-89 |
Chuck Klein | 5 | 1923-33 |
Ichiro felt a sense of relief after reaching the mark, considering the high standard he's set for himself from the very beginning of his career.
"When you look at my rookie year, no one expected me to have 200-plus hits," Ichiro said. "I think if I [had been] at .260 or .270 with 180 hits, [everyone] would have said, 'Good job.' Now being in my shoes, I have to accomplish this. Because if I don't, people will say, 'How come you're not hitting anymore?'"
The record for most seasons with 200 hits had been in Rose's sole possession since Sept. 25, 1979, when he hit a first-inning single against Cardinals rookie right-hander John Fulgham at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.
Rose had shared that mark for one year with Ty Cobb, who had his ninth -- and last -- 200-hit season in 1924.
Rose was 38 years old and playing his 17th big league season. Cobb was 37 and in his 20th Major League campaign.
Ichiro, who will be 37 on Oct. 22, is playing in his 10th Major League season.
When asked if he would play until he was 50, Ichiro responded jokingly, "I don't know about 50, but maybe 55."
ichiro by the years
Year | Hits | Avg. |
2001 | 242 | .350 |
2002 | 208 | .321 |
2003 | 212 | .312 |
2004 | 262 | .372 |
2005 | 206 | .303 |
2006 | 224 | .322 |
2007 | 238 | .351 |
2008 | 213 | .310 |
2009 | 225 | .352 |
2010 * | 200 | .315 |
Career | 2,230 | .331 |
Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista, who had a milestone day of his own, launching his 50th blast of the season off Mariners ace Felix Hernandez in the first inning, was elated to be a part of Ichiro's big day.
"It's unbelievable," Bautista said. "Fortunately, I got to witness that. He's a great hitter -- great hand-eye coordination. He can barrel balls in and out of the zone just like Vladimir Guerrero does, and he's got the speed element to go with it. He's just a great hitter. He has a nice swing. He keeps it in the zone a lot, and the most amazing thing to me is he actually starts running before he's done with his swing. To have the ability to swing and run at the same time, to me, is just amazing."
Despite amassing Hall of Fame credentials, including 2,230 career hits -- on top of another 1,278 hits in nine seasons in Japan -- Ichiro said each at-bat is as tough as the last.
"I've never experienced an easy hit before," Ichiro said. "And I've never taken it for granted."

Something further may be afoot in Batman: Arkham City. The official tweet-box for the game has teased a curious picture (above), along with the unattributed quote "Don't worry. This is all part of of my plan." In combo, it does rather suggest something to do with Harley Quinn (come on, you all recognise those boots).
Let's also toss into the mix the information which emerged a while ago from ps3trophies.org, which listed achievements for some as-yet-unannounced Harley Quinn DLC.
After the 'unfortunate events' at the end of Arkham City, it would make sense for Ms. Quinn to be a bit miffed with Batman and pals.
More details will, no doubt, emerge in good time.

Ryder Hesjedal making Canada proud!
My afternoon's ride...
sporting the red maple leaf(s)!
The Cauberg was the last hill and predictions were right as it was the decisive moment for the riders' to put in an attack. Gilbert's timely move was devastating rocketing his way toward the line. And in form Hesjedal chased beating Enrico Gasparotto to the line. When I saw that move by Hesjedal I was cheering him on ...just like another Canadian.
At the 1989 Amstel Gold Race, Steve Bauer was in a chasing group behind leader Eric Van Lancker. With 17kms left Claude Criquielion attacked and Bauer & Nico Verhoeven followed never having enough time to catch the winner Van Lancker. Nineteen seconds after Van Lancker crossed the finish line a classic duel between Bauer & Criquielion erupted. Bauer stomped on his pedals as his nose was nearly hitting his front tyre powerfully sprinting beside the Belgium. Criquielion took second just barely from Bauer. The Canadian was the first to podium at Amstel and now Ryder Hesjedal becomes the second Canadian to podium in the Dutch race.
Next year, I'm sure Ryder Hesjedal will hit that home run!
Well done, Ryder!
2010 Amstel Gold Race
1st. Philippe Gilbert
2nd. Ryder Hesjedal
3rd. Enrico Gasparotto
