The Dish
All the News That's Fit to Eat
Adios, Amigos—I tend to avoid Cottonwood Mall if at all possible, but in the event that Williams-Sonoma beckons, at least I can drown my Westside heebie-jeebies in a leche de tigre seafood cocktail from Mariscos Vallarta (10131 Coors NW at 7-Bar Loop). Imagine my disappointment when I drove down Corrales Road last weekend and saw the Mariscos sign had been replaced by another restaurant ... something with a chile pepper on it? (I couldn't tell—it was dark and I had a mall hangover.) If you know what happened, please console me with news on whether or not the replacement is decent.

Pancake Day
The Alibi celebrates Shrove Tuesday with our own mountain of carbohydrates
Break out the batter and lube up the pans: The fattest of fat holidays is upon us. Bon vivants around the world will indulge themselves on Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras, this Feb. 28—but that's not where the real party lies. The fattest holiday is by far Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day; an entire holiday dedicated to those sugar-filled, lard-fried, syrup-drizzled little pieces of heaven. It just couldn't get any better than that.

Eating is easy—dating is the hard part
How many first dates end in tragedy? I've had more than a few myself, and almost all of them have begun and ended in restaurants. There was the guy that asked our server for a glass of "the pink wine," the one who tried to order cannoli with meat sauce (I think he meant cannelloni), and my favorite, Mr. I Don't Tip Because I'm a Cheap ... you know the rest.

MADISON, Wis.—Wisconsin schools are one step closer to having the flexibility to teach more hours for fewer days a year.
The state Senate unanimously passed a bill Tuesday that found widespread support from educators and legislators. It now heads to the Assembly.
Rural schools applauded the proposal as a way to save money by keeping doors closed and avoiding higher transportation costs.
The bill also would allow the state Department of Public Instruction to reimburse schools for periods outside regular and summer school calendars.
Leaders from bigger districts say they like the flexibility for funding from the state and the elimination of state mandates.

Crystal's Classy Entertainmentby Richard and Barry Wright
Let's begin with Crystal's impressive production shows. Embellished with extravagant sets and costumes and carefully woven together with tasteful choreography, they were accompanied by well-written, powerful musical arrangements. As the nucleus of the ship's entertainment staff, the cast of dancers and singers presented the five spectaculars in a most professional way. (Footnote: We would have preferred one less production show in the 12 days. The fifth show had the effect of diminishing the overall specialty.)
It was obvious that Crystal spared no expense on the shows. When one compares this kind of production to other companies' "Las Vegas-type shows," the superiority of the Crystal presentations is clear. What also makes them better than most is the intimacy of the showroom. In many ways, it mimics the old supper club venue, with the audience ringing the stage, and the staging takes full advantage of this layout.
Crystal clearly takes great pains to make sure the type of entertainment aboard its ships is in synch with the preferences and demographics of its upscale passengers. From a classical pianist to a Broadway lead performer, the talent booker has taken into consideration the material most appreciated by Crystal's audience. On our cruise, there were no comedians or so-called novelty acts (jugglers, ventriloquists, magicians, etc.), but we were informed it was just the luck of the draw. Crystal doesn't use "off color" comedians, even at the late night lounge.
We spoke with Bret Bullock, Crystal's vice president of entertainment, who confirmed that the pattern of entertainment we experienced is a fairly constant template for the Symphony and the Harmony, with different shows from ship to ship. They will, of course, add and subtract acts as the cruises demand.
Bullock said demographics have the most to do with their entertainment decisions, as well as holidays. From our perspective, it is not always the amount of money a company spends that makes its shows better than another's. True, with its sizable budget, Crystal does have the means to spend a few more dollars on its shows. But equally important is the Crystal entertainment department's careful choices of writers, arrangers, choreographers and set designers for its shows. With an abundance of talented performers to audition and choose from, these professionals must cast, rehearse and deliver a finished product. Suffice it to say, Crystal appears to be getting what it is paying for.
Changing the performers on board is also a crucial aspect to keeping the ships' entertainment package fresh and alive. This applies to all of the entertainment staff, especially the cast of the production shows, who rotate four months on and two months off. With a third ship coming this summer, Crystal tells us its current policies will remain constant for the entire Crystal fleet, and may even include some surprises on the new Crystal Serenity.
Bullock said the Crystal Serenity's entertainment will be even more evolved. This means that the emphasis will be on audience involvement, executed in a more intimate setting. As Bullock puts it, "this is the conceptual evolution from our other ships." Sounds interesting. They are apparently going to be more interactive with their enrichment and conversational language programs as well.
Crystal's diverse roster of lecturers on our cruise was quite impressive as well. Without going into detail, each one was an expert and a veritable fountain of information. Their presentations were directed to the passengers and not over their heads. We especially enjoyed the option of watching the taped presentations on the TV while getting ready for dinner. The programs on our cruise ranged from the NASA space program to wine topics to the Empires of the Mediterranean.
And as a novel cruise entertainment twist, we enjoyed a resident repertory company executing its own "in your face" brand of satire and humor -- an in-house theater group performing different vignettes, if you will. Audience participation is encouraged. Many playwrights' works, like Neil Simon's, were represented in this particular venue.
We cannot ignore the gentlemen of the staff, who were always ready to whisk women off their feet to a rhumba, cha-cha or meringue! They are a resilient group, always coming back for more. As hosts, they clearly enjoyed their job and their energy was contagious!
We chose British Airways for our flight to Athens and our return from Milan, giving us a chance to sample BA's new "Club" business class. This was not the longest trip we've ever taken, but it is always preferable to recline and "chill". BA's new Club class now offers fully reclining (180 degrees) seats with leg rests that allow you to stretch out, like you would in a flat bed. You can also choose to enjoy privacy thanks to a folding screen, or to socialize with your traveling companion, who sits facing you, armrest to armrest. The LCD TV has several programming choices, and there's power port for your laptop - and of course the usual great service by seasoned professionals.
No sooner do you buckle up and sip the champagne, use the hot towel and eat your meal than it's time to stretch out and sleep, awakening to the captain announcing arrival in 30 minutes. In addition to the regular economy section, BA's transatlantic flights also have an "in-between service" called World Traveler Plus, featuring comfortable seats that recline with foot rests. Priced accordingly, the food service is economy and the seats are "almost" business. It's a more economical alternative to Club class.

For the first time since we started 2013 Playoff Math, you'll notice the graphic above has changed, meaning teams switched places after the weekend's results. That certainly makes everything more interesting!
Let's do this...
1) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 48 (14-9-6)
Games Remaining: 5 (3 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WWWLD (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-2-3 / 5-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 41.0
Remaining Schedule: 9/22 vs. FCD, 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: With Sporting KC sitting idle and Montreal losing at home vs. Columbus, Red Bull continued to hold serve with a 2-0 home win over Toronto Saturday. With five games remaining, New York could be on the cusp of clinching a playoff berth with a win vs. FC Dallas this weekend combined with losses for Philadelphia and New England.
2) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 45 (13-8-6)
Games Remaining: 7 (3 home/ 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LWDWW (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-2-3 / 4-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 66
Average Opponents Pts: 37.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/17 at SJ**, 9/21 vs. VAN, 9/24 vs. HER** 9/28 @ CHI, 10/4 @ HOU, 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Montreal took a bit of a hit, being upset 2-1 by Columbus on Saturday – their first home loss to an Eastern Conference team this season. They still hold games in hand over both New York and Sporting KC and like Red Bull, can get on the cusp of a playoff berth with a win Saturday at home vs. Vancouver but you wonder how a cross continent trip for Tuesday's Champions League match at San Jose will effect them?
3) Sporting KC
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (2 home / 4 away)
Last 5: WWLLW (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-4-3 / 5-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 30.5
Remaining Schedule: 9/17 vs. RES**, 9/21 @ TFC, 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC got rest this weekend ahead of a two-game week. Having won both of their early Champions League matches on the road, they should only need a draw at home against Real Esteli on Tuesday to qualify for the knockout round, before visiting Toronto FC on Saturday in league play. Like the two teams above them, a win in that match combined with dropped points below will push Sporting KC back to the playoffs for the third straight year.
4) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 40 (11-9-7)
Games Remaining: 6 (4 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WLDLW (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-3-3 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 36.0
Remaining Schedule: 9/25 vs. WC**, vs. CHV, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: After what was likely their worst stretch of the season, the Houston Dynamo rebounded with a huge 1-0 away win at Philadelphia Saturday night, pushing the side back inside the playoff bubble.
They'll recharge this weekend before tackling a crucial Champions League match vs. W. Connection and home game vs. Chivas USA in the span of three days next week. Crucial matches at New England, vs. Montreal and Sporting KC follow and will go a long way to determining Houston's playoff fate and potential positioning.
5) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 39 (11-11-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (2 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: WDLDW (8pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 9-4-2 / 2-6-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 57
Average Opponents Pts: 34.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/21 @ CLB, 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: The Fire missed a definite opportunity, dropping two points at Toronto FC on Wednesday but regrouped well to earn a key win vs. playoff contenders New England Saturday night, putting the Men in Red in playoff position for the first time this year after starting the season 2-7-1 through 10 games.
Whether the team has a slight advantage or disadvantage vs. the other postseason hopefuls depends on how you look at it. They do have the second easiest remaining schedule in terms of opponents points average but only two of the remaining six matches will be played at Toyota Park. Winning those home games remains key while taking a minimum of six points away from home will be needed if the team hopes to continue its season past October 27.
6) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 39 (10-10-9)
Games Remaining: 5 (2 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LLDLD (2pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-4-5 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 54
Average Opponents Pts: 34.6
Remaining Schedule: 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: Philadelphia is the team reeling the most this week after falling 1-0 at home to playoff rivals Houston. In terms of form, the Union have taken just two points from their last five and of their five remaining games, have two against Sporting KC (home and away) and one at Montreal.
The Union are tied with the Fire on points but are in a more difficult spot with a tougher schedule and one less game to play…
7) New England Revolution
Current Points: 37 (10-11-7)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LLDWW (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-5-3 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 55
Average Opponents Pts: 36.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/21 vs. D.C., 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: There was a point on Saturday (actually two) that New England's Playoff Math was looking rather good. Then Juan Luis Anangono, Mike Magee and Alex all happened. Soccer.
They get to rebound from their two consecutive losses with a home match vs. D.C. this week before a stretch of three critical matches vs. Houston, at New York and Montreal to close out September and open October. They could easily be out of the playoff race or be making a strong push into the top three by then.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 35 (10-14-5)
Games Remaining: 5 (3 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WLWLL (6pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 6-5-3 / 4-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 50
Average Opponents Pts: 38.6
Remaining Schedule: 9/21 vs. CHI, 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: The Crew pulled off their biggest win of the season, winning away at Montreal 2-1 last Saturday. There's little doubt that the victory boosted morale for the team but they still sit four points back of the playoff bubble and only have five games left.
The Crew have their backs against the wall with every remaining match, needing to win and hope teams above drop points. They can do both with a victory over the Fire on Saturday but any loss at this point really takes them all but mathematically out of the equation.
The goal for the Crew should be to take at least seven points from the next three matches, to make their season-ending home and home series vs. New England still matter.

It's true, some parents have a favorite child and they will tell you outright. In fact, I've read that most parents do have a favorite child. I guess I am always a little shocked since I never felt that I loved or cared for one of my 5 children more or less than the other. Sure, if a child was sick or dealing with an issue, I always tried to make sure they got the help and attention they needed. Maybe it's because I have a tendency to see good in all people, especially my children. And perhaps I have a bonder stronger than most with all of my children, who range 10 years from youngest to oldest.
It definitely can be a hardship for a child who was the favored one when they are not treated as such in the real world. And children who observe another of their siblings being treated as special are known to have issues of low self-esteem. If a parent does have feelings that they prefer one child over the other, then it would be best to not show these feelings in front of the other children. Sure, we all have a somewhat different relationship with each of our children because they all have their own personalities and talents.
If you do have a favorite child, how do you deal with this issue?

Hagerstown Community College recently held an oral pathology seminar geared toward dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants.
The seminar was led by Dr. Brad Neville, who serves as the director of the oral pathology division and the director of the oral pathology biopsy laboratory at the Medical University of South Carolina.
"Dr. Neville was chosen as guest speaker based on a recommendation by HCC's dental advisory committee, which consists of dental community members who offer advice and support for the dental program area," said Theresa Marks, lead instructor for the dental assisting program.
"Dr. Neville has special expertise regarding oral cancer, and actually co-authored the oral and maxillofacial pathology textbook that is used by dental students throughout the United States and around the world."
At the seminar, Neville spoke about current trends in oral pathology manifestations, differential diagnoses of oral and maxillofacial diseases, oral manifestations of systemic diseases and treatment procedures in oral diseases. Several members of the local dental community attended the event, as well as 24 students in HCC's dental-assisting program.
"HCC's dental program faculty works closely with its dental advisory committee to select nationally known dental speakers to address local educational needs," said Angela Stoops, director of the health sciences division.
"The Cumberland Valley Dental Society often sponsors our dental-assisting students' attendance to these professional dental seminars, which helps to create pathways for lifelong learning."
HCC's dental-assisting program began in 2009. The goal of the program is to develop skilled professionals who assist the dentist during dental procedures. For more information about the program, go to www.hagerstowncc.edu/academics/divisions/health-science/den.

Samsung has had some pretty good cameras in its phones for some time now, and the Galaxy S III is no exception. The SGSIII finds itself with an 8-megapixel rear shooter, and a 1.9-megapixel camera round front. Sammy's mantra as far as the camera goes is that it wants you to "never miss a picture-perfect moment."
The camera app remains impressive. The shutter snaps as soon as you touch the screen (some people prefer that, others prefer it to trigger on release), and there's virtually no lag between touch and picture. You've got some pretty standard options -- panorama mode, macro, etc. -- and HDR imaging (that's the one where pictures of differing resolutions are combined for a more dynamic look) is now built in as well.
A feature Samsung's particularly proud of is burst mode, which will capture up to 20 images in a single take by holding down the shutter button. (You do have to first enable burst mode in the settings.)
Facial recognition is another high point, as Samsung's making a big deal out of being able to identify your friends faces, tag photos, group them, and share them. In demos it's seemed to work well enough. We'll reserve ful judgment for when we get to use it in the real world.
Shooting video works as expected, and Samsung's also got the ability to snap still images while recording motion at 1080p. (Unlike HTC's video playback, however, you can't take still images while reviewing a video.)
All in all, though, a pretty solid performance by the Samsung Galaxy S III in the optical department.

Adam Allen found an extremely personal motivation for his senior capstone project as a Ball State University theater student.
"Late in my junior year, I found out that I had an anxiety disorder," Allen said. "As I tried to understand my own issues, I started noticing how many of my friends and family were talking about anxiety on Facebook. At the same time, I started noticing how much they were talking about depression. I did a little digging and found out the two often go hand-in-hand."
Allen presented his work, "The Masks We Wear," at Ball State as a cabaret production. He has tweaked his production over the last two years and will join Nickel Plate Players to perform the show at 7:30 p.m.March 16 and 17 at The Cat, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel. Allen will direct as well as act in the show. The Indiana Theatre Company is the parent company of Nickel Plate Players,
ITC co-founder and Artistic Director Ashton Wolf said Allen had been in two prior shows with Nickel Plate Players and knew of its reputation as a theater company that specializes in creating, writing and producing new plays and new musicals. Wolf said he immediately recognized the importance of the production when Allen presented it to him.
"It seems, now more than ever, we need a more informed and open dialogue about mental health in America," said Wolf, a Fishers resident. "Adam's work has all the components that made the project viable; a great cause, a beautiful message, hope for those who suffer from mental disorders, relevant information and entertaining music. I felt it was of great sociological importance to our communities."
Wolf said the production is fully endorsed by Mental Health America of Indiana.
"This production also serves our vision statement well in that it continues our mission of creating educational opportunities in the theatre along with our commitment to developing new, visionary works that give local artists opportunities that they would not otherwise have," Wolf said. "Most importantly, it is an opportunity for us to be a part of this extremely important conversation and to let others know that they are not alone, that there is help and that there is hope."
Allen describes it as a theatrical exposé.
"We want to get the dialogue going about the realities concerning mental health," Allen said. "We are trying to banish negative stigmas."
The production is a cabaret-style format with eight performers, including Allen.
"There are songs throughout the show, but between the songs there is dialogue with a mixture of personal experiences, personal observations, other people's stories and actual data concerning mental health," Allen said.

Eternally and incessantly, waves and currents stir up sand from the seafloor near the coast. Sediments get suspended in the ocean, carried onshore and off, and deposited elsewhere. In the process, objects on the seafloor—natural and unnatural—can get buried and uncovered.
It is a seemingly esoteric process, but the Navy has a vested interest because its enemies use mines to defend coastlines. Those mines often become buried by sand, making them all the more dangerous. Buried mines are difficult to detect, yet they still can be triggered by ships passing overhead. To assess the threats from mines and ways to avoid them—from mine hunting and sweeping to avoiding areas entirely—the Navy would like to predict what may be buried under the harbors and beaches where it wants to maneuver.
That requires an understanding of how mines get buried in different environments. In the past, divers tried to observe the processes firsthand. But diving once or twice a day, they could rarely observe a burial in progress. They merely observed the before-and-after conditions. And divers cannot work in storms and strong tidal currents—precisely the forces that cause most burials.
For more than a decade, WHOI scientist Peter Traykovski has doggedly explored the complex factors that move sand to continually reshape the seabed and our shorelines. That work has drawn attention from the Navy. Traykovski, with the assistance of WHOI scientist Jim Irish, has developed instrument systems that measure waves and currents and that capture images of sands shifting on the seafloor and suspended in the ocean.
From 2001 to 2004, Traykovski and colleagues at WHOI and the Naval Research Laboratory conducted a series of experiments, funded by the Office of Naval Research, to make continuous, long-term observations that no human divers could ever make. Using the WHOI Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory, they plugged instruments—including acoustic Doppler velocimeters, pressure sensors, and rotary sidescan sonars—into seafloor nodes, powered via cables from the observatory's shore-based facility.
In the fall, they deployed mines on the coastal seafloor, armed not with explosives but with instruments that recorded how the mines pitched, rolled, or sank. Divers who returned in April found a smooth seafloor desert and no hint of the buried mines. But Traykovski's rotary sidescan sonar—sampling every half-hour for nearly eight months and producing thousands of images—provided an unprecedented view of the processes that buried the mines.
It turned out that mines behaved differently depending on the type of sand they sat on. In fine sand, mines jutting upward created turbulence that accelerated the flow around them. A similar process occurs when waves rush past your foot on the beach. The sand disappears around your foot, your foot sinks, and then sand washes back to fill in the hole and bury your foot. Likewise, fine sand quickly covers mines, and once buried, they stay buried.
In coarse sand, however, waves and currents create big sand ripples on the seafloor. The currents rotate the mines to align with the ripples. At that point, the mines become integrated into the rippled seascape, and currents bury them no deeper than the height of the surrounding ripples.
Armed with such information, the Navy can better predict and detect the presence of buried mines in different locales and circumstances. Beyond this crucial military relevance, Traykovski's research also offers coastal managers greater understanding of the forces and phenomena that shape our beaches, harbors, and coastal zones.

ACC Morning Five: 10.27.11 EditionPosted by mpatton on October 27th, 2011
- ESPN (Insider): I normally avoid Insider posts, but North Carolina resident Dave Telep gives us a peek under the bleachers at the uglier side of high major recruiting in college basketball that's really a must-read for college basketball fans. Telep cites Lebron James as the first player who really took advantage of his worth and marketed himself during high school. Without giving too much away, Telep names three types of elite prospects: the clean, the agent/runner-influenced, and the bold, who just directly asks for money. The rest of the post almost reads like a how-to guide for cheating, but the one thing I wish Telep had offered was a solution. It's no secret that there's plenty of dirt behind high major basketball recruiting, but informed solutions are hard to come by.
- Atlanta Journal-Constitution: In case you haven't noticed, there's been quite a bit of turnover as far as ACC basketball coaches go. So much that Georgia Tech junior Mfon Udofia only managed to name five and a half (he knew Mark Gottfried was "the guy from Alabama") conference coaches, not counting his own. Four ACC coaches are entering their first years and three are on their second. Mike Krzyzewski compared the recent influx of coaches to the early 1980s when he, Bobby Cremins and Jim Valvano joined over the course of two years. Those shoes are pretty big ones to fill (six NCAA Championships, myriad Final Fours and countless ACC titles clutter the three resumes).
- Huffington Post: Syracuse professor Boyce Watkins takes on the NCAA's "funny math." Watkins points out that while 96% of NCAA revenue does go back to the schools, the NCAA fails to calculate the incredibly high salaries of coaches. Watkins also points out the hypocrisy of paying college basketball players the same as their soccer brethren without factoring in the huge discrepancy between the coaches' respective salaries. He also lays out policies that would more fairly represent the current NCAA system: for example, no games on school nights (ironic side note: the Ivy League actually adheres to this in conference play for basketball but not for Olympic sports), and coaches shouldn't be able to sign endorsement deals. The anti-NCAA side of things has really gained momentum over the last six months, and I don't think this trend will stop at partial cost of attendance stipends.
- Searching for Billy Edelin: Nick Fasulo got credentialed to see ESPN Film's newest documentary, Unguardable. The movie covers Boston College (and later Fresno State) guard Chris Herren, who fell from the top of recruiting rankings to truly rock bottom. If this is anywhere near as good as Without Bias, it'll be must-see TV. And from Fasulo's review, it might be even better. Hennen managed to survive his bout with drugs and serves as the storyteller, leaving no middleman narration to distance the audience from the subject. Unguarded airs next Tuesday at 8PM on ESPN.
- CBSSports.com: Kyrie Irving is using his NBA lockout time off to help keep a promise to his family and get a degree. The first pick in last year's NBA Draft is apparently back on Duke's campus taking courses. This isn't to say Irving is the only one: According to CBS, 52 current locked-out players (15% of players without college degrees) are using this time to pursue degrees they left for the greener pastures (and paychecks) of the NBA.
EXTRA: This story isn't basketball related, but Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples hits the ball out of the park with his interview with former North Carolina assistant football coach John Blake. Blake's side of the story has remained largely offstage, so it's interesting to hear it from the man himself. The Tar Heels' date with the NCAA Committee of Infractions is scheduled for this Friday. This just goes to show, not all stories are as black and white as they seem.

NCAA Title Preview: Meet the Real Team of Destiny…Posted by rtmsf on April 6th, 2009
Much of what has been written in the last 36 hours about tonight's UNC-Michigan St. showdown in the national title game has applied liberally the use of the word "destiny." And on the surface, we can understand some of the hyperbole. Detroit, in fact the entire state of Michigan, is going through hard times. Harder than the rest of us, at least. MSU, personified by its tough-as-nails coach who also happens to be one of the very best preparation NCAA coaches of all-time, has gutted and clawed its way back from multiple injuries this year to put together a Big Ten regular season championship season and two straight victories over #1 seeds from the very talented Big East Conference. The game is 92 miles from their campus, and roughly 80% of the available 75,000 seats are expected to be filled with green-and-white clad Spartan fans. Their opponent, UNC, was the prohibitive favorite prior to the season and came into the Tournament as the prohibitive favorite once again (both in the pools and in Vegas). When the two teams played in this same venue 126 days ago, Carolina looked like it possibly could become the greatest team in the history of history, as it eviscerated, immolated and annihilated Sparty by a score of 98-63. Despite MSU's 27-4 record since that point (not dissimilar than UNC's 25-4 in the same interim), there's a perception that this is still a team of underdogs, fighting for their town, their neighbors, their state.
So the narrative seems clear: the NCAA Tournament, the most magical postseason event in all of sports, filled with glorious upsets that have become de riguer in the national consciousness, will once again work its sorcery tonight in Detroit. Michigan State's gutty bunch of tough guys who happen to play a little ball will bring home the golden crystal trophy in front of its adoring fans, sorely in need of a caffeinated jolt of good fortune to rally around.
The problem is… it's not gonna happen.
If there's a Team of Destiny in this year's Tournament, it's the team residing in a state that has also gotten hit fairly hard by the downswing of the textile, banking and tobacco industries. More contextually, Carolina's destiny was secured on June 6, 2008, when Ty Lawson, who at the time was leaning toward staying in the NBA Draft, was picked up by Chapel Hill police for 'drinking while driving,' a head-scratching offense that may have put just enough doubt in Lawson's mind about his being a certain first-rounder on draft day.
So he came back to Carolina, and like dominoes, so did Wayne Ellington and Danny Green. Tyler Hansbrough wasn't ever leaving, and suddenly Roy Williams enjoyed a fortuitous situation where a majority of his Final Four team was returning while every other major contender (Kansas, Memphis, UCLA) was getting parceled up like an auction for engine parts. It's not just the players who returned, mind you, it's also how they've improved as this season (which could have been their rookie years)has progressed.
For the fake Team of Destiny to defeat the real Team of Destiny tonight, three things ALL have to happen. If any one of these three things doesn't happen, Carolina assuredly will cut down the nets. The likelihood of any one thing happening is good; of two things happening is not-so-good; and all three, damn near impossible. Still, these are the three things…
1) Travis Walton must get into Ty Lawson's head. Good luck with that. Lawson is generally unflappable, having committed a ridiculously low six turnovers in 128 minutes of play over four NCAA Tournament games. Granted, four of those were against Villanova, but he also dished out eight assists and had 22 pts in that game. Walton, who has harassed AJ Price (5-20) and Terrence Williams (1-7) into terrible games the last two outings, will this time be at a quickness disadvantage. If he (and by proxy, Izzo) can figure out a way to slow down the mercurial Lawson, then the Spartans will have a chance. In three of Carolina's four losses this season, Lawson shot the ball poorly (~33%) and he turned the ball over at least four times per game.
2) MSU must dominate the boards. Where MSU excels, they must continue to do so. Izzo's Spartans are the #1 reb% team in America, securing 58% of all caroms. In the game against UNC in December, the Heels actually won the battle of the boards in addition to the score (40-39). But in the Spartans' most recent two games, they dominated Louisville and played even with the super-sized UConn frontline through hustle and aggressiveness. Michigan St. will need a +10 rebounding margin with multiple second-shot opportunities to win this game.
3) The Spartans Need Others to Step Up. Against Louisville, it was Goran Suton's 19/10; against UConn, it was Korie Lucious' three treys off the bench in the first half. The Spartans will need someone unexpected to provide offensive punch against a team that is going to score 70+ points against them. Tom Izzo has a multitude of options, including Draymond Green, Durrell Summers, Chris Allen and Marquise Gray, but he's going to absolutely have to have one or more of these players contributing points for his team to have a fighting chance tonight.
Assuming Michigan St. accomplishes all three of these things, they'll have a chance to win tonight's title game. Three of UNC's four losses were one-possession Ls, so it's impossible extremely unlikely the Heels will lay an egg and get blown out tonight, no matter what happens. But like we said above, the odds of all three of these occurrences happening simultaneously tonight are not good. MSU should feel great about its accomplishments this season, but the ony Team of Destiny for 2009 is going to take another trophy back to the party on Franklin Street tonight.

Collecting Specialty Stamps
Many stamp collectors observe the price value of special stamps and limited edition stamps. They take it as an important source for their investment and profit. Specialized collectors limit their interests on searching only the stamps that they may think have great values and price. A normal collector does not mind whether his collections are special or average. On the other hand, specialized collectors consider stamp collecting as a source for investment and income.
These people limit their coverage of collecting different kinds of stamps. They only search for those stamps that are rare and limited. There are specialized collectible stamps that are available in different post offices in the country. One of those famous avenues for collectibles is the postage stamp. These are stamps considered as tokens that a person may have paid. They indicate a particular country or a specific date or event that may have been significant in the history of the country.
Another avenue for collections is the postal stationery. It is a small piece of postal paper, envelope size that has a postal card and a letter sheet on it. Some also prefer the government-released postcards also known as the aerogram stamps. These are letters, which are sent through airmail. In addition, one of the most popular early issued postal stationery that traces the roots of the first stamps are those stationeries that came from the Kingdom of Sardinia and were issued on 1819.
The revenue stamp is pasted on government packages to present that it is government tax revenue. Sources can vary from different areas of search, like the federal Duck stamps which are considered postage due stamps. This is a special edition stamp that denotes a U.S program for duck hunters of those near oceans and seas. Another special issued stamp is the Ding Darling stamp. This was first released in 1934 where a yearly competition is being held in making new designs for the duck stamp.
This annual competition is participated by wildlife artist all across America to have the chance to win the prestigious award and being an instant artist in creating the new duck stamp. These duck stamps are very famous among the wildlife hunters. They avail these stamps on their local government post offices and their states main post offices. These stamps also serve as their license to hunt in the wildlife.
Many collectors also look for those souvenir sheets. Postal government offices sometimes issue stamps in the same form similar to sheet of paper that has a large image on it. The different parts of the souvenir sheet are torn into small pieces for the purpose of using the torn sheets as postage stamp. Sometimes they associate these souvenir sheets to souvenir cards but they are totally different in form and in use.
The first day ceremony programs are brochure or folder like stamps distributed to the participants or attendees of a first day ceremony program. They are featured as postage stamps that show the event message or images on the ceremony. Most collectors find their way to have a signature of the organizer or the main speaker on that special occasion. This could increase the price value of the postage stamp that has signatures.
The souvenir pages are also interesting to collectors because these are pre-cancelled stamps from the brochure page of ceremonies or occasions that contains all the issuing subscriptions, design, and printing. They may have similar features with the first day ceremony postage stamps.
Collecting specialty stamps can be associated to philatelic collections. They only narrow their option for searching and finding only stamps that has a special theme, postmarking, or coverings from the sources. For some people it can be very hard to collect commemorative and special stamps but for a philatelist, it can be thrilling and fulfilling especially if he profits and earns on investing his effort in collecting these stamps.
For most people collecting stamps, they find it only as their hobby and they do it for fun. Every collector's interest depends on the stamp. Many find it as an inexpensive hobby and investment. A person can purchase a stamp without even spending hundreds of dollars to come up with an album of collections and commemoratives.

Loss of CCM2, but not CCM3, impairs the integrity of endothelial tube structure – An association with the incidence of intracerebal haemorrhage of inherited cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs)?
Suche in Medline nach
|16. September 2010
Objective: Mutations in CCM genes may cause autosomal dominant cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). Indeed, a different intracranial hemorrhage rate has been observed in CCMs carrying individual CCM gene mutations. We proposed a differential regulation of angiogenesis by these disease genes. The present study thus investigated the function of CCM2 and CCM3 in tube formation, a key step involved in angiogenesis.
Methods: CCM2 and CCM3 were silenced by the specific siRNAs in endothelial cells (HUVEC). The time course of the gene silencing was established by detecting the efficiency of knockdown using real-time PCR. For tube formation assay, the transfected cells were pooled in matrigel-coated 96-well plate followed by 6 h, 24 h and 48 h of incubation. The tube formation was analyzed under a microscope.
Results: Real-time PCR showed that CCM2 expression declined by more that 80% at 48 h and 72 h, and returned to the control level at 96 h after the transfection, whereas CCM3 gene levels were consistently reduced around 80% from 48 h to 96 h after siRNA. Under these efficient knockdown conditions, we observed that the tube was similarly formed in the CCM2- and CCM3-silenced cells and in control at 6h after the incubation. However, the maintenance of tube integrity was largely impaired by CCM2, but not CCM3, silencing at 24 h and 48 h after pooling cells on matrigel. Quantification of the number of tubes revealed that CCM2 silencing resulted in a 50% of reduction of tubes at 24 h and a complete loss of the tube structure at 48h after the incubation.
Conclusions: Our results demonstrated a distinct role of CCM2 and CCM3 in maintenance of tube stability. The severe impairment of the integrity of tube structure after endothelial CCM2 silencing may be associated with the clinical observation that CCM2-mutated CCMs present higher incidence of haemorrhage in comparison to CCM3-mutated cases.

Washington Health System Hospice Care
Taking the first step…is talking.
It isn't easy to talk about death, even to those closest to us. However, talking about this sensitive issue gives you and your family the power to choose what is best. It is important to talk to your loved one about what they want at the end of their life. We can help you and your family at this difficult time.
If you need someone to facilitate the discussion please call
(724) 250-4500 and ask to speak to an admission coordinator.
Here are a few ways to make this discussion as comfortable as possible:
- This conversation should take place early on, so that everyone around you/them knows what your/their wishes are, including your doctor.
- This conversation should take place in a comfortable, safe place, surrounded by loved ones.
- The discussion should be a time of gathering information about the disease process itself, the prognosis, treatment options, and "what ifs."
- Your doctor should be a part of the conversation.
- If your prognosis is poor or treatment options have been exhausted, you should not hear "we have nothing left to offer you." Hospice is another level of care that concentrates on treating symptoms and ensuring your comfort.
- This conversation should not wait until you/they are in an emergency room under stressful conditions or in a hospital room on day of discharge.

About Broken Bells
Though Broken Bells featured two of the bigger names in indie and alternative music -- the Shins' singer/guitarist James Mercer and producer/multi-instrumentalist Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse -- the duo managed to keep their project secret for a relatively long time. The pair were inspired to collaborate when they met at 2004's Roskilde music festival in Denmark, where they discovered they were fans of each other's work. However, they didn't start writing and recording together as a band until March 2008, when Mercer holed up in Burton's home studio in Los Angeles. The duo took a different approach to their work together than they had with their other projects: Burton avoided the sample-heavy style he used on The Grey Album and Beck's Modern Guilt, and played only live instruments, while Mercer broadened his vocal style to include falsettos and deeper registers. Mercer and Burton announced they were Broken Bells in fall 2009, and late that year they released their debut single, "The High Road." Their self-titled debut album arrived in spring 2010. A year later, the Meyrin Fields EP arrived, featuring previously unreleased tracks as well as the title track, which had been the B-side to the single The Ghost Inside. In late 2013 the duo released a teaser for a forthcoming second album, entitled After the Disco, in the shape of a retro-futurist short film starring Anton Yelchin and Kate Mara. The album was preceded by the singles "After the Disco" and "Holding on for Life," which had an old-school, psychedelic '70s feel, right down to the production, with the latter track sounding uncannily like the Bee Gees. After the Disco arrived in February 2014. ~ Heather Phares

I'm assuming this is still coming this year but would be greatful for an updateAs far as release dates go, VizionEck is in the same camp as most other indie games: it'll release when it's finished.
As far as release dates go, VizionEck is in the same camp as most other indie games: it'll release when it's finished.Sounds like you have a plan
This has been a long delay because I decided to reorganize my free DLC plans and include the single player campaign at launch. Originally "Adventure" was planned to release around the 1 year anniversary of VizionEck's release.
Right now I'm working on the AI for computer controlled players in Battle. At first I was planning on using standard AI which would be fairly quick to implement, but that never feels as good as a real player. So now I'm spending way more time than intended in order to create a "true" AI, a learning intelligence that gets better as it plays. This should feel great to play against. Since I'm spending more time on AI though, I've pushed another unannounced feature back as free DLC. I'm not delaying VizionEck again
I have 16 person splitscreen to help with AI debugging.sweet link me in I'll help!
Think I'll just leave it in the game as an option for spectating. 480x270 isn't too bad to play casually on either, but PS4 only supports up to 4 DS4s.
sweet link me in I'll help!Do you have a dev/test kit?
Do you have a dev/test kit?nooooo... shareplaymebro
nooooo... shareplaymebroI wonder if it's actually possible to share play on dev kits? Don't have the business internet to make it work, but that could be kinda cool in the future.
Do you think the game will be out before the end of summer 2016?It will release as soon as possible, but right now the date is still TBA.
I see your game listed for ps VR. is it very time consuming making a game VR compatible or is it relatively easy?It's relatively easy when you already are running at very high performance. Hard part is making the game fun in VR, and not discomforting. Ideally every single aspect of the game should be designed from the ground up with VR in mind.
Regardless I think your game is really suited to VR.

Floriani At Jersey City's Hamilton Park LeaguePosted by jstevrtc on July 31st, 2010
JERSEY CITY, NJ — I can't really file this under "How I'm Spending My Summer Vacation," because for those of us devotedly fanatic about this game there is no time off. No college games are contested, but there are other items such as the NBA Draft in June, the NBA playoffs, and of course, on the college front, the summer circuit and recruiting.
Players who want to take it to the proverbial next level also realize there is no extended down time. Summer is a time to work on your game and improve. A place where players can do both is the Hamilton Park Summer League in Jersey City, one of the most popular leagues. As you'd suspect, it derives its name from the Hamilton Park location (the late Al McGuire always said, "keep it simple, stupid").
For officials, it is a great way to stay sharp and work on deficiencies. Games are fast, competitive, and a test to one's judgment and game-management skills. To yours truly, on the officiating and reporting end it is a virtual Nirvana, an opportunity to work and write about some excellent games and programs putting it all out there.
The past few seasons saw the HP league operate with a grade school, girls', and boys' high school divisions. This summer saw a shift as the girls are at Dickinson High School while the grade school relocated to High Tech about six miles away in North Bergen. The action this season is limited to the boys with a strong 17-team contingent.

Cat Behaviour Question
A very odd thing happened between my boys tonight. Another cat came into our backyard and came up to the screen door where my boys were. Our boys freaked out, scared the other kitty away and have been growling at each other ever since. Zeus has been particularly stand offish with hissing and growling. Ukko has made attempts to approach Zeus and Zeus just hisses and growls. Ukko is fine with me, cuddling and rubbing but Zeus is very freaked out. These two boys love each other and constantly cuddle and clean each other. It's strange to see Zeus so aggressive towards Ukko. I mean they have their moments but nothing like this.
Any suggestions as to what I can do? Did the other cat just scare Zeus so much that he's scared of his own brother now? Will this behaviour subside on its own or will an intervention of some sorts be necessary?
It's called redirected aggression. In a situation where cats come across something/someone that they perceive as being threatening it is usually the nearest living being that suffers. In this case - the other kitty.
The best thing to do if it continues today or any other time is to separate your cats. Treat them as if they are brand new at being introduced to each other. Do is slowly over a period of time. It may take a while to get back to the peace you had before but it is important the steps be followed. The most important thing you have to do is to make sure they can not be put in that situation again. Is there a way to block the screen door so they can't see another cat come near it?
Hare is an article that explains what RA is and how to deal with it. Good luck!
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
I figured it has something to do with that other cat on our property. Zeus is just terrified of Ukko. He'll be fine until he sees him. Ukko just stuck to my side all night while Zeus was left alone. Which is upsetting in itself. Ukko sticks to me for comfort and then when Zeus comes searching for it, he finds Ukko there.
Thanks for the website. I'll do the steps recommended. I'm just worried it won't go back to how it was before. I'm finding this incredibly upsetting.
So the cats have been separated for most of the day. This is the thing, when they're with us alone, they're fine. Not scared. Just their regular selves, just a wee bit jumpy. But when they see each other, the hissing and growling starts. I got them playing with same cat tail toy but then Zeus would growl at Ukko from behind the door. Also, it's tough to tell who is the aggressor. They both posture and growl at each other when they see each. Sometimes it seems like Zeus is the aggressor and at times it appears to be Ukko. I don't know. I just want them to be back to normal.
It's going to take a while for things to "go back to normal". You may need to keep them separated for quite some time. It really is each other that they don't like right now.
You could try rubbing some baby powder into your palms and then rubbing it on them so they smell the same. Especially in the areas where cats check scent. That would be the base of the tail and the cheek area. Do that daily for a while. It may help. Time is what it is going to take. Patience.

Thanks for the advice. I know I need to be patient. I just feel bad locking Ukko away. It's become clear that he's the main aggressor. I only hope that the bond these two shared hasn't been completely destroyed. That would break my heart.
I think you should be able to build back the bond that Ukko and Zeus shared. If you play with them together, with something like a "teaser toy", ostrich plume or a cord going from one to the other, they should concentrate on the play and forget they are having a spat. Also I would let them play in the same room, separated a bit, with cat toys/mice that are well rubbbed with catnip. You can try to get them to stop focusing on each other. Try and get them to focus on you, by calling them to come to you and give them treats. Don't allow one to steal away the other's treats though! Praise them when they are behaving well with each other by not growling or hissing at each other, but do disagree verbally with any growling or issing with a "No", and call the cat to you. If it breaks off hissing/growling and comes, do give it a treat. Hope you can get these boys straightened around. It may take a while, so just be patient. Always end your play with them on a positive note. Don't try to do too much, it's proabably going to take baby steps.

I think one of Chico2's cats has RA...I'll pm her and see if she can add anything.
It must break your heart to see them going at each other after getting along for so long
Hope they are back on track soon.

Thanks everyone. Ukko has been separated in a different room from Zeus all night. And it seems to be calming Zeus down quite a bit. There has been a little progress. Yesterday Zeus wouldn't go near the door where Ukko was and today he's been trying to play with him underneath the door. A little hissing on Zeus's part but at least he's not running away.
I'm all open to suggestions. I just want these guys back to the loving brothers they were once before.
Kanis,my Rocky a couple of years back,reacted the same way to strange cats outside,but it was me he attacked,like a totally crazed animal.
It happened 3 or 4 times,so badly I had to go to the hospital each time.
It was actually the reason I joined this Forum.
I honestly believe separating the 2,locking one up,is not the best way to go about it,in that his aggression will remain.
The more normalcy,cuddles etc..you can give him is IMO the best way.
My Rocky would calm down after a 1/2 hour or so.
We always also check for other cats in our backyard,if there is any we shoo them away,of course if it looks like a stray in trouble we won't do that,but try to help.
Rocky no longer shows any aggression,but he's also no longer healthy,was diagnosed with Hyper-Thyroidism 3yrs ago.
Good luck with your boy,I am certain he'll be back to normal very soon.

Thanks for sharing your story Chico2. Personally I would love to just have them together to play and cuddle, but after Ukko charged at Zeus last night, I don't think that's the best thing to do. Zeus is just afraid of him. All the sites I read state that this could take months. Does that mean Ukko has to be essentially quarantined for that time period? That'll be difficult to do as he is such a love pig and needs a lot of attention (which he used to get from his brother!).
A moment ago, we had some minor exposure with each other. Ukko was playing in his crate and I opened the door a crack. Zeus peeked inside to see what was going on. They simply looked at each other for a moment and then I took Zeus out. So for a moment, there wasn't any posturing, hissing or growling.
And yes, my heart is breaking. Typically Ukko and Zeus go everywhere and do everything together - eat, cuddle, clean etc.... Now they just want to attack each other.
You are right Kanis,your story is different from mine.
I just hope you don't have to keep them apart for too long
I also used Feli-Way plug-ins for quiet a while to calm Rocky down,but it might not help with your problem.
They look beautiful in your Avatar

It sounds like you are making progress slowly. This may take a while. In order to have the peaceful existance you want it is essential the reintroductions are done the right way. If you can get them to the point where they are in a room for a few minutes without posturing then try catlover's ideas of playing with toys together or having catnip together. Although IME catnip is sometimes the catalyst for fights.
You're doing a good job. I know it hurts.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Slow, slow progress but it's still progress. According to one site, they suggested switching the cats up as to who is sequestered. This apparently will help them get accustomed to each other's scent again. We did this this evening. Ukko is sitting at the door waiting for Zeus to come out. He's rolling in front of it, sticking his paws under the door, trying to get Zeus's attention.
It appears that Ukko misses Zeus. Strange since Ukko is the one who has been attacking Zeus viciously. Is it possible that Zeus lets off a fear scent and that leads Ukko to attack? I don't know. It's very confusing. I have contacted a cat behaviourist. I've sent her the information and she'll be getting back to me tomorrow with some steps to take. I discovered her while doing an online search. An article was printed about her in my local newspaper. Cat Advisor
You are probably right about the fear scent.
I know my vet told me,to try to keep calm,take a deep breath,if Rocky would show any signs of aggression again.
Switching them around in the room is probably a good idea
Could we see a bigger pic,they look beautiful

More progress! We've been feeding them next to each other - with the door between them. Yesterday Zeus refused to eat until he was a good distance away. Today they were able 2 feet (and a door) apart. Plus, we opened up the door a crack so that they could see each other. No hissing! In fact both started to roll on their backs and tried to play with one another's paws. Hopefully by tonight we'll be able to have a longer exposure. We're not pushing it. We want this to go right. But we're definitely making progress.
Chico2, here is a link to an old thread of photos of my boys. They've both darkened quite a bit since these photos were take. Ukko especially has darkened up. Photos of my Tonks
Loads of beautiful pics,thank's..I don't know how I missed them,I was here in 2008.

So a big step forward and a little step back. We had them together for about 30mins without any hostility. They were definitely on edge with each other but Ukko lay in front of Zeus and groomed him. Nervousness? Zeus did lick Ukko a couple of times too. But then Ukko was playing with a paper ball and Zeus approached Ukko, started to stare at him and the growling began. So Zeus is in isolation again. So we did make some headway. Next we'll try feeding them with the door open.
Kanis,although my cats don't fight each other,one of them(Chico)mostly hisses if he want to be left alone.
However,if we notice a stare at each other thing,we usually break it up,or distract them with a toy or something.

Many years ago, Puddles got a plastic bag handle stuck around her neck. She went tearing through the house with it, scaring Snowball to bits. Snowball did not recognize Puddles as his best friend, but something scary. For days after, Snowball would hiss and growl every time he saw Puddles (sans the bag of course ). Snowball would sneak around the house like there was a monster and Puddles didn't understand what was wrong. After a couple of days, Snowball settled down and they were back to normal. I did not isolate them as I knew it would take time and if Snowball went without seeing Puddles, he wouldn't get used to her.
I think cats live for the moment and can't reason like humans and events stick in their heads and what they saw at the moment of the event takes time to get over. I am sure in time, your kitties will be best friends. I also think that going on as if nothing happened because if you are tense when Zeus sees Ukko, he will pick up on those feelings and will be tense too.

Update on the Tonk Front
Last night we made major progress. They ate together with no problems and starting grooming themselves as well. Then Zeus, who seems to be the major aggressor here, started play fighting with Ukko. They goofed around a little and then sat down giving each other winky, peaceful eyes. That was great!
This morning, while Ukko was still eating, Zeus got a little jumpy and hissed. But progress is progress! I hope that by the end of the weekend, they'll be playing down on the main floor again. The main floor seems to be a bit of a trigger for Zeus as that's where everything first happened.
Glad tohear Zeus and Ukko are making progress. Whenever you see them near each other behaving well, tell them "good boys!" but if one starts to stare or look aggressive, say the name (Zeus, Pssssst! No!). That's a warning from you that you don't approve of his aggressive stare at Ukko. If he looks at you, compliment him with a "Good boy" or call him for a treat (gotta have treats in your pocket for that instant reward). If he ignores you walk in front of him, give him a hard stare and say "no". Stand there until he walks away or looks away. There's always an "alpha" in every pack, even with cats. I remember having a torbie Manx girl in my pack that played "policeman" and whenever a couple of cats would get into a growling or hissing squabble....she'd get right into it and box everyone's ears! She was the alpha and 'pack leader' and she liked a harmonious environment. When there's only 2 cats, you've got to be the alpha.

Kanis,I am glad there has been some progress,I am sure it won't be long before they will be best buddies again.
Try to learn their body-language when they are looking outside,you'll soon know if there is another cat there,that makes them upset,you don't want this to happen again.
BTW,it's not abnormal for them to get excited with a strange cat around.

So, it's been took a long and stressful 6 days but things are close to normal again. Ukko and Zeus have been able to walk around without any major incidents. I would say things are 90% back to the way they were. Zeus still is hesitant at times but he's getting better. His stare downs end with him licking Ukko rather than hissing. The cat behaviourist was incredibly helpful. She recommended altering the feel of the main floor which is where the stranger intrusion occurred - smell (got a Feliway diffuser), sight (closed off some entry ways), touch (put a mat near the door where the strange cat came to the screen), and sound (put on a white noise machine).
Thank you for all your support!
We took this picture last night. Ukko and Zeus were relaxing on my lap while we were watching tv.
Aaawww, buddies again. Great! hope it stays that way.

We've got the door to the backyard blocked off with some cardboard for now. I've only ever seen that cat once and that was the day of the incident. So hopefully it doesn't come back!
Here's a photo I took this morning of the boys. I was so worried that there would be no more Tonk piles. This made my heart smile.

Difference between revisions of "Tønsberg"
Revision as of 11:12, 5 June 2007
The old name of this town was Tunsberg – the oldest town in Norway. The city has about 35.000 inhabitants and lies in the county of Vestfold. Tønsberg is also surrounded by some of the county's major tourist attractions, including old viking graves and museums.
There are plenty of options for daytrips where both residents and visitors can enjoy a wide range of landscapes.
In summer, cities like Tønsberg are among the most retreats. The people are easy going and very friendly, and cultural life is rich. Second only to Oslo, Tønsberg has the most lively summertime day and nightlife in Norway.
Tønsberg is also a well known and frequently visited vacation spot for Norwegians.
Get in
Vestfold's international Torp Airport (TRF) has flights to some major and minor cities around Norway and Europe, including Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London, Milan, Gothenburg, Marseille, Pisa, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Nice, Alicante, Malaga, Milano and Stockholm. Tønsberg is located 10 km from TFR.
The Norwegian State Railway serves Tønsberg on the Oslo-Skien line (Vestfoldbanen).
Get around
Vestfold Kollektivtrafikk (Vestfold Public Transport) operates a decent bus network, time tables can be found online and in buses.
Availability of taxis is generally fairly good, however, prices are rather high – as can be expected in Norway. The taxis are operated by Tønsberg Taxi, telephone number 33 30 11 11.
In the summer (late June - August) you can go to a place called Fjærholmen for a swim in the Oslo-fjord. The temperature in the sea will normally be 18- 22 degrees. Fjærholmen is 10 km away from Tønsberg oute on an island, reachable by bus or car. The same place will also be the area where all have their private saling boat and if you are lucky,- may be somebody will bring you along for a sailing tour. Just be brave and ask! The perfect summer activity for a family: During the summer you can also take a small ferry going out (1 hour) to an island in the Oslofjord called "Bolærne" wich will be an old sea fortress, opened for the public in 2005.The ferry will go from "Brygga ved kanalen". You can stay there for days in a quite inexpensive hotel system (In the same rooms and beds where the soldiers used to live!), and you can as well eat all meals in the restaurant. The price per person will depend on how many sharing the same room,(max 4!)but somewhere around 30-60 EUR per day per person will give you an idea. You can strole along the island - or dive directly from the rocks or just sit in the small harbour looking on the traffic of private summer boats. On top of the island there will be a small viewpoint where you can see all the cruiseboats and ferries passing on the way to and from Oslo. Ask the locals for advice how to find updated information. There will be a tourist information office in the town near "Brygga" during peak season.
Go to "Roar i Bua" a popular seafood shop just in front of Brygga hotell and buy some fresh shrimps (15 EUR a kilo) and sit on the quey and eat them naturell and throw the leftover to the seagils. If you are into "Heavy shopping" and it is a rainy day or winter - I would recomend the shoppingmall called "Farmandstredet" close to the central bus station. Shops enough for a full day shopping maraton!
Go to "Havariet" down at seaside. Good food at a fair price and in the summer you can enjoy the summer outside.
Most restaurants are fully licensed, serving all kinds of drinks. Prices vary, but a 0,4l draft beer will cost 50-60 NOK (6-8 EUR) – a cafe latte from 25-30 NOK.
Be aware that you are not alowed to drink alchol on public places outside restaurants; if spotted by the police, you will be given a heft fine!
Get out

All lanes of Interstate 85 North in Thomasville near Exit 104 were closed for about three hours Wednesday after a wreck involving a tanker truck earlier in the day.
All lanes of Interstate 85 North in Thomasville near Exit 104 were closed for about three hours Wednesday after a wreck involving a tanker truck earlier in the day.
The accident between a vehicle and tanker truck carrying 8,100 gallons of ethanol occurred about 1:40 a.m. at Exit 104 between Randolph Street and Finch Farm Road, said Josh Myers, a supervisor with the Davidson County 911 Center.
Mike Pittman, captain with the Fair Grove Volunteer Fire Department, said a vehicle rear-ended a tractor-trailer to cause the accident. The accident was under investigation by the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Initially, only one northbound lane was closed, and two other lanes were open. However, about 10:30 a.m. the N.C. Department of Transportation announced all lanes were closed. They remained closed for about three hours, until two lanes reopened. The third lane reopened shortly after.
The tanker truck was carrying ethanol, and there were no spills, Myers said. The ethanol was transferred to another truck by an environmental company from Archdale, causing emergency crews to shut down I-85 North, Pittman said.
The captain said all lanes were shut down because a vehicle traveling by as the ethanol was being transferred could have generated a small heat source and ignited fumes from the ethanol.
The driver of the vehicle and the driver of the tanker were transported for treatment after the wreck. Their names were not available Wednesday.
Pittman said the driver of the vehicle was transported to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem and the other patient to Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center. Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the Highway Patrol, said the injuries were not life-threatening.

Paulo Coelho's new autobiographical novel Aleph is "Lost in Translation" for the New Age set, but – sadly – with none of the 2003 film's wry intelligence or humanity.
In "Aleph" Coelho takes up the narrative of a middle-aged man frustrated with his stagnating life and the young nymph whose companionship makes him feel alive again. Like the characters played by Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson, "Aleph"'s Paulo and Hilal find each other during a period of spiritual seeking.
Unlike the characters in the film, each holds the key to a spiritual roadblock that the other faces. In the course of a train ride across all 9,288 kilometers of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Paulo and Hilal experience a meeting of souls that involves traumatic encounters with past lives, trance states, energy field assessments, and the Spanish Inquisition.
"Lost in Translation" is not the only other work evoked here. The two spend several chaste nights in each other's arms, Hilal completely naked or nearly so. This could be lifted directly from the pages of Joseph Lelyveld's 2010 biography of Mahatma Gandhi, "Great Soul." In that book, Lelyveld offers evidence that Gandhi too invited young women to his bed.
And just as the alleged behavior was a spiritual exercise for Gandhi, so it is for Paulo. Though 21-year old Hilal opens up to the man beside her and pleads with him to receive her romantic love, he refuses. This is the central struggle of their relationship. His love for her is platonic and otherworldly, and in any case, he is happily married. But she loves him "like a woman loves a man."
Still, none of this detracts from the fact that he is sexually drawn to her – or that detailed, narrative-length, sexual fantasies about her pervade his thoughts during every moment spent without her. His fantasies evoke neither romantic love nor what theologians call "sacred sex." Instead, Paulo's fantasies are violent, unrestrained, animalistic, and loud.
What emerges is, frankly, a predatory relationship. Paulo provides reasons for hope – including light kisses and declarations of love – before retracting them again. He manipulates Hilal into reliving painful elements of her past for his sake. In one minute, the two commune over the intensity of their relationship in past lives. In the next, he callously tells a stranger, "I've been in love with her for at least five hundred years, but ... she's as free as a bird."
At its core, this is a book about punishing women for sexuality. In it, Paulo hopes to earn atonement for past centuries of violence against women. In this life, though, he continues punishing Hilal for her desires, and his. As in past lives, she is both a lurid fantasy and a chance at redemption. The dynamic of their relationship never changes; she is Paulo's eternal salvation and damnation, but never a real person.
Coelho is the all-time bestselling Portuguese language author in the world and – with sales of more than 100 million books translated into 67 languages in over 150 countries – one of the most popular authors on the planet. But I suspect this book will not find much of an audience outside of Coelho's admittedly impressive legion of hardcore fans. The relationship between Paulo and Hilal is, at best, derivative. Often it is also abusive, obsessive, and outright destructive.
Neither will some readers relate to the New Age spirituality. Simplistic platitudes abound. For example, Paulo writes, "If I believe I will win, then victory will believe in me." Elsewhere, "We are all souls wandering the Cosmos and, at the same time, living our lives, but with a sense that we are passing from one incarnation to another." He even alludes to Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling," though he lacks any of the philosopher's spiritual or intellectual rigor.
Also unsettling is Paulo's tone-deaf approach to human suffering. This is the story of a wealthy author whose publishing company funds an expensive trip throughout Eastern Europe to facilitate his personal growth. Never mind, then, that most readers in this age of economic downturn will not recognize the kind of privilege that allows many months away from work for the purpose of self-discovery.
The narrator is markedly ignorant in the face of any poverty encountered on the way. Despite a momentary spark of conscience, he approaches panhandling on the side of a road as a spiritual experiment. The act is meant to remind him how to partake in "the act of receiving." The generous strangers who mistake him for a homeless man, he says, "educate me, free me."
It is hard to imagine this sort of self-centered conceit resounding with working- and middle-class audiences even in prosperous times. In this book, Coelho makes a spectacle of poverty – for the purpose of spiritual enlightenment, no less – and blissfully ignores the privileges that come with wealth and stature. This seems almost cruelly out of touch with the mainstream, and at least this time around, I will be surprised if it captures the zeitgeist.
That may be for the best, as "Aleph" may be among the most alienating of Coelho's offerings yet.
