|More information:
Althea has always been a sweet, kind girl. In middle school, she had a group of friends to hang out with. She was on the softball team, took gymnastics, and won ribbons for horseback riding. But high school is horrible for Althea. She doesn't make the cheerleading squad. Her group of friends splits apart to form new cliques, and Althea is left to sit alone at lunch. That is, until she discovers a vampire living in the attic tower of her family home. A vampire who can make her dreams come true: a spot on the cheerleading squad; popularity; a boyfriend. All the vampire wants in return is a small sacrifice, and Althea is in too deep to back out now. The first book in Caroline B. Cooney's Vampire's Promise trilogy reveals the danger behind the door of the Shuttered Room.

ONE year on from the globally acclaimed 2002 Commonwealth Games, many of the world's leading triathletes plan to mark its first anniversary with another memorable sporting spectacular.
Triathlon is one of the world's fastest growing sports as well as being spectator friendly. That's why thousands of people will line the streets for the Countryside Properties Salford Triathlon ITU World Cup.
It's the first time a World Cup event has been staged in Britain and another great opportunity to demonstrate why the North West is proud to call itself the country's sporting capital.
Race director John Lunt said: "The Commonwealth Games proved what a fantastic course for the event this is and the high-quality field we have assembled shows the impact the Games had around the world."
Stuart Hayes, one of Britain's leading triathletes is looking for a top 10 finish.
"I raced at the Commonwealth Games, I know the course very well and I'm looking forward to it," he said.
"It's such a great venue and I'm sure it's going to be as well organised and as well supported as it was last year.
"These events are so tough to win but if I was picking a dark horse I'd go for Paul Amey.
"He's from New Zealand originally but his parents are British and I think he might surprise a few people."
The Salford triathlon is one of 18 World Cup events in 2003 that has taken the competitors from Ishigaki, Japan, to Cancun, Mexico.
The goal-apart from individual success on the day-is to gain ranking points to qualify for next year's World Championship in Madeira plus the Olympic Games in Athens.
The sport received Olympic medal status for the first time in Sydney in 2000.
But it was only invented in the early 1970's by the San Diego Track Club in America.
Their first event consisted of a 10 kilometre run, 8k cycle and 500 metres swim.
Tomorrow's race features a 1,500 metres swim in Dock 9, 40k, four-lap cycle ride into Albert Square and concludes with a three-lap, 10k run that takes in Old Trafford and the Imperial War Museum North.
In addition, there will be a shorter 'People's Race' of a 750m swim, 20k cycle and 6.6k run.
The Manchester Evening News, the Triathlon's official newspaper sponsor, is fielding a team in the Corporate Challenge comprising of sports editor Pete Spencer (swim), deputy sports editor Chris Brierley (cycle) and Paul Coates (deputy chief sub-editor).
A comprehensive report and reaction to the race will feature in Monday's edition of the Manchester Evening News.

(Voor de Nederlandstalige versie van onze handson moet je hier kliken)
July 10, 2012 – This was the day that we, AnsjJ2 and I_mJimmy, went to the office of EA Benelux, together with some other fansites. And what were we going to do over there? Of course, playing The Sims 3 Supernatural! From magical scenes to creepy appearances, it's all in it.
It was about eleven o'clock in the morning, both coming from different provinces, when we met each other at Amsterdam Centraal. From there we took the first train to Amsterdam Schiphol and took the bus to the office of EA. But we were so enthusiastic that we were too early! We decided to eat and drink something at Schiphol before we took the bus, still too early.
That was actually a hassle, because we didn't know if we had to change busses and our mobile phones didn't work well. Finally, we arrived at the office and we had to wait for an hour in the waiting room, waiting for the others, but we had fun!
And when I think about it, it doesn't sound magical or exciting till now. No, not at all. But that will come! Jordy – Community manager of EA Benelux – picked us up, because meanwhile, everybody had arrived. Firstly, we got to see a presentation, where the most important points and aspects of the Expension Pack, The Sims 3 Supernatural, were highlighted. Everybody was sitting on the edge of his or her seat, because this is an Expension Pack that had never occured in the entire Sims franchise.
Okay, still no magical things for you so far. We were astonished during the presentation. Now we come to the point when we finally could play the game ourselves. This was the moment we had waited for all day long.
Before we can really start with our report, we want to make clear that we are going to put the report about witches and vampires online another day. Why? Unfortunately, we have an embargo till August 13.
Create A Sim
n CAS are, just as with every Expansion Pack, some things changed. Like the fact you can choose if you want to create a normal or magical Sim. This is a new button on the first page. You can choose from a fairy, werewolf, vampire, witch or goast. And of course the normal Sim. Now there are six in total.
When you create a fairy, there are six different wings available, from very large to so small that it's almost sad. With creating a werewolf, you have the choice if you want to create him in the normal or the transformed form. With a goast, you can choose the cause of death – very nice! This choice changes the color of your goast. You know the drill, blue with drowning, red with burning and grey with old age.
There are a lot of new haircuts and clothes added with this Expansion Pack, even for the different age groups. Sometimes, the clothing only fits to one specific supernatural creature, but if you want to, you can dress a werewolf like a fairy. Whether it's charming, is the question.
There are also many new characteristics, six if we are right, but we won't tell which ones yet. But we can say some new characteristics are bound to the creatures you can play in the game. New life wishes, dishes and music are also added, but that was no surprise.
Moonlight Falls
A city full of mystery, different neighborhoods and typical inhabitants. It's also much larger than expected, you can't see on the pictures very well, but it's much broader set than Sunset Valley or Bridgeport. If it's nice depends on you, but we both liked it.
The rabbitholes are renovated as well, the Town Hall is changed into a kind of church, which fits very well into the city. There are also some new buildings, like the fairygarden and the caravan. We will discuss both later.
All families in the city have their own story and background. There are comibed families, consisting of both fairies and witches, and families consisting of only werewolves. You can play with the ones you prefer.
The houses are slightly different in this city. They are larger than the ones in Appaloosa Plains and very baroque. There is often chosen for Off-White for the windows and doors and the furniture is finished very well. We have seen worse, but honestly also more beautiful and unique sometimes. The style looks a bit like the one of Twinkbrook.
There are different types of puplic places for every creature. So you have clubs for vampires and a big garden for fairies. Over there you will only find this kind of creature.
Last subject about this city is this big circle that is floating in the air at night. Indeed, the moon.
With the announcement of The Sims 3 Supernatural, there was introduced a whole new system of the moon, namely the lunar cycle. This means that there is a different moon every night. Moreover, you can change this by yourself. You can even choose for a full moon every night!
But with a full moon there happens a lot in your city. You can hear the howling of wolves and shades pass by. And we hope you're not attached to your flowers, because they can be destroyed when zombies are crowling out of the soil.
Build and buy mode
Normally there isn't much to tell about the build and buy mode, but this time there are a few very nice and unique objects added! Some we already know from earlier Sims games and some were surprisingly new. We want to highlight three objects, just because they're fun.
Bonehilde is a cleaner, consisting of bones and a dress. She sleeps in a coffin and does everything you want her to do. It seems to good to be true, right? Or is it too scary for your Sims? Whatever she might be, one thing is for sure, she is very useful and not to break (ha-ha)!
Have you always wanted to keep bees? Now it's your time, because the beehive is added with The Sims 3 Supernatural. There are three options: giving them food, taking care of them and gassing them. And if you're lucky, you can get some honey in the end.
Fairy house:
This small house looks like a letterbox, but is in reality a house for little fairies! Both toddlers and elderly can hide themselves, party all night or sleep in this house. It's the perfect solution if you run out of space.
So, we start with the first supernatural creature. We started to play with a fairy. They're jolly, giggling, maybe a bit annoying and always up for a joke. I think you can a fairy describe like this. With their wings they fly around in the new city Moonlight Falls.
As far as we have tested the faires, we had only 3 hours to play, you can let them do some things. If you select the option 'I can fly!', they'll make a exuberant roll in the air to show where the wings are for. The fairies can also activate an aura, the aura of the body, mind and calmness.
On top of thaht, fairies love gardening. In fact, it's their main passion! You will regularly see a fairy who's talking to a tree, so are not surprised!
In the special garden for fairies, you will see a lot of gardening. The nice thing of this lot is a kind of dome in the middle. In this dome, fairies can meet other fairies, find special things and a lot more! Unfortunately, this is a rabbithole, so you can't see what's happening inside.
Making a joke to random Sims is also one of their hobbies. Be honest, what's more fun than embarrassing someone you don't know? Fairies have an answer to that: nothing! With their magical powers they can enchant Sims whenever they want. But remember, one time these powers will stop.
You can hear the howling of dogs, late at night with full moon. Or wait, no, they're werewolves… Be aware of these hairy creatures who are not so cute as most dogs are! Late at night they are running around on their four legs, hands, claws… How do you say that? Anyway, they are running around, searching for their prey, and they will find it.
So, what can you do with there animals? Aplenty, in any case. Werewolves are recognizable when they are transformed, before that you can actually see nothing, unless you look in the eyes of this Sim. And as soon as they are real werewolves and wander around with their flock, they are howling to the moon.
Actually they are just dogs. They destroy the furniture in your house, you can also let them do this if you want to get rid of that awful sofa, or if you're searching for a reason to buy a new television. But after all, they are just Sims with a warm heart, and that's what matters.
Ghosts are actually the least surprising creatures of the game. We know them already, but we couldn't play with them, and now you can create them in CAS. The unique goasts with their own cause of death are now part of you family in Moonlight Falls. They have no extra options, but they're still terrifying!
One nice little thing is that there are new causes of death, which means that there are also new colors!
There is one thing that may not lack in such a great new Expension Pack: a new profession! This time it's the fortuneteller, as we already know from The Sims 2 Nightlife.
Besides you can ask her advice, your Sims can also decide to become a fortuneteller himself. You start at the bottom and you are slowly climbing upwars on the ladder of success. At a certain point you have the choice if you want to become a swindler or not. It your choice!
Jimmy ~ It's so much new information in such a short time, but this was my impression of this first hands-on of The Sims 3 Supernatural. I have got a very good impression of the game and I'm proud of how EA can make a completely new Expension Pack!
Because of this short time we've played The Sims 3 Supernatural, I actually know relatively little about the draft of this game, if you understand what I mean. I've seen just a little bit of every creature, because there are so many! I really hope everything is worked out well and not rushed if you've played the game for a while. Actually I'm a bit afraid for this.
Anyway, I'm sure I'm going to buy The Sims 3 Supernatural and I'm sure I won't be sorry. Whether it has depth or not, the game is full of fun and new opportunities and it's of course always about the fantasy you use. I want to say thanks to EA Benelux and especially Jordy for this great afternoon. So thanks!
AnsjJ2 ~ It was a day full of information and I've got a good first impression of this game. I've actually become quite enthusiastic. I went to EA Benelux with a neutral impression and had the idea 'I'll see whether it's a good Expension Pack or not'. But it's indeed a beautiful and well filled Pack. Most of the Sims fans will be really happy with The Sims 3 Supernatural. If I'm going to play a lot with this supernatural creatures, I don't know, but I'm certainly going to buy this game.
I want to say thanks to EA Benelux and especially Jordy for this pleasant afternoon. It was a nice day!
AnSjJ2 and I_mJimmy

Following on from a discussion on Fighter Control, I thought I'd post up something from Dick Ware that I received in my email a while back. I take no credit for this, but its a useful thing to print out and have near your scanner for those pesky 8.33kHz steps on VHF civil air:

ONe of Nigeria's online classified platform, Payporte global system recently established a partnership deal with an e-service medium, Opera mini web pass to provide free 100,000 days of free internet service to customers. Managing Director of Payporte company, Mr. Eyo Bassey, made this known in Lagos at the official launching of the companies partnership as this move will boost more participation online.
Bassey said that, this feat was made possible through Opera's web pass, which enables brands to sponsor no-cost internet access through mobile operators to provide their customers with easy-to-understand method of accessing the net.
He stated that this is one innovative way by which these companies encourage more customers to get involve more actively on the internet because of the numerous activities available on the net. He said the e-commerce market is changing the way many Nigerians shop these days. Our company is thrilled to provide free internet to current and future online shoppers and give them a taste for everything the internet has to offer," Bassey added.
However, he maintained that the company will be responsible for all the costs prospective and active customers who surf the net to buy goods from opera mini platform. Bassey claimed that there is no restriction to customers who visit the online platform to purchase commodities of any kind, be it used or new goods.
However he maintained that, data usage in Nigeria remains low in comparison to mobile penetration. Initiative as this, aim to provide a free taste of the internet for those who do not regularly go online. Having presence in Ghana, Kenya, South-Africa among others, our outfit is not moved by price mechanism in the market as we remain the only classified company to still be operating at N160 to a dollar, he said.
E-commerce is revolutionising the way many Nigerians shop. Our company is thrilled to provide free internet to current and future online shoppers and give them a taste for everything the internet has to offer," Bassey added. On trafficking congestion, the managing director admitted that measures are in place to manage illegal penetration and checkmate saboteurs while also promising more involvement of other Telcos to key into this innovation.
As part of its corporate social service to offer free browsing services to customers, he promised to ensure more e-services rural penetration, as more telcos and service providers are on the brink of commencing swift partnership at attaining this goal. The business development manager, operator sales of Opera mini, Mr. Murray Spark, said that as at July this year, an average of twenty three million subscribers surf the net using Opera mini.
Spark said that numerous benefits await customers who surf the net to subscribe for products as they will end up using only 10 percent daily of their data plan as against other plan, thereby saving 90 percent. Vice President Africa of Opera Software, Richard Monday, stated that Opera Software endeavours to pioneer solutions that facilitate low or no-cost access to mobile internet. We are excited to work with Payporte and our operator partners in Nigeria to help bring more people online," Monday added.

This past Sunday, the streets of Boston's Chinatown were filled with drummers, music, martial artists, street vendors, and dancing lions. Crowds of locals and tourists gathered downtown to take part in the Lion Dance Parade.
At each shop with a food offering, the dancers perform a dance called "cai qing" and light off firecrackers. The dance is meant to bring luck and fortune to the store owners in the New Year. "The symbolism is really interesting. You can see how the shop keepers are really excited about getting their shops blessed" said Charlotte Kramer from Middleborough.
The parade is also meant as a way to celebrate the food, music, and culture of China. Street vendors selling trinkets and traditional Chinese food and desserts attracted children and adults alike.
The Oom Yung Doe martial arts school also performed for onlookers.

"The latest wave of snowstorms that struck snow-novice areas of Maryland and Washington D.C. has people worried about dangerous roads and highways. But doctors also remind us of another snow-related danger: shoveling. Studies made of the period after large snowstorms have repeatedly shown that shoveling puts people at risk for heart attacks -- even in cities experienced with snowstorms." Read More
It`s winter and that means one thing: Snow and all the problems that entails. Your wife is nagging you to shovel the driveway, and the public service announcements on TV are warning you that homeowners are required to shovel the sidewalk in front of their homes. In my neighborhood nobody clears the sidewalk of snow, I don`t have to worry about getting fined by the city. No self-respecting guy should give in to his wife`s whining, and clear the driveway of snow. The next time the old battle axe gets on your case because her car is completely covered in snow, ask her if she`s trying to kill you. Remind her that shoveling snow can give a poor guy a heart attack.
If the snow gets too deep, just have one of the neighborhood kids shovel your driveway for a few bucks.

Smartphone Briefs

Reports have resurfaced on Crackberry.com with new pictures of the long rumored Blackberry London. From the looks of this device we can acknowledge that RIM, the makers of BlackBerry, are finally looking to join the ever-changing smartphone race.
The sleek design of the BlackBerry London has us brimming with excitement in the middle of winter. When is the BlackBerry London coming to the market? According to a leaked roadmap of RIM's upcoming devices, the London washing ashore to American soil come Q3. (Photos after the break)
Photos courtesy Crackberry.com
From the photos that have been released showing the BlackBerry London and now BlackBerry 10 Operating System(OS), the tide may be turning in RIM's favor. Do you Agree?
The smartphones race gives rise to the concept, repeat and duplicate. That seems to be the current trend. The Samsung Galaxy Note which was recently released in the US too much fanfare now has a direct competitor, meet the LG Optimus Vu.
A side by side shot of the two phones shows how eerily similar they are. The Lg Optimus Vu gains the upper hand with a wider screen due to its 4:3 aspect ratio. Both screens are 5 inches and its reported that just like the Samsung Galaxy Note utilizes a stylus, the LG Optimus Vu will also have one.

The Salafist preacher who declared war on Hezbollah
Date created : Latest update :
Tensions between Lebanon's Sunnis and Shiites have been rising since Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir (pictured) began publicly threatening Hezbollah's powerful chief, Hassan Nasrallah, amid mounting fears that Syria's sectarian woes are gripping Lebanon.
"I swear by Allah that you, Nasrallah, I will not let you sleep at night if you do not decide to behave better with us [Sunnis]. I'll make you pay the price. This has only just begun."
This threat against Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was issued a few months ago by Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir, a Sunni Salafist imam whose profile has been rising in recent months – attracting the esteem of his supporters and even the grudging respect of some fellow Sunnis who do not endorse Salafism.
But for the Lebanese political establishment struggling to contain a spillover of the Syrian conflict, Assir represents a potent threat to Lebanon's security.
Nasrallah, Hezbollah's 52-year-old chief, is sometimes called the "most powerful man" in Lebanon and sometimes "the most dangerous man" - not just in his homeland, but in the wider Middle East region. A few years ago, publicly threatening the Hezbollah chief in such incendiary tones was inconceivable.
But the latest skirmishes between Hezbollah and Assir's supporters have exposed the dwindling respect for the Shiite movement among Lebanon's Sunnis as the Syrian civil war threatens to ignite sectarian tensions in neighbouring Lebanon.
Relatively unknown at the start of the year, Assir shot into prominence a few months ago when he openly took on the powerful Shiite movement in the Hezbollah stronghold of Sidon, a city in southern Lebanon.
In an interview in June with the leading Lebanese French-language daily, L'Orient-le-Jour, Assir proclaimed: "I no longer accept the hegemony of an armed group that threatens us, that talks about cutting hands ... and then accuses us of being traitors while attacking our religious leaders and our dignity."
Deadly clashes over Hezbollah posters
Over the weekend, the growing hostility between Nasrallah and Assir's supporters turned deadly when a firefight between the Salafist and Shiite groups left three dead and injured seven others.
The spark for the latest dispute was posters glorifying the pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement in and around Sidon.
Assir had issued an ultimatum to Hezbollah's supporters to remove the posters - a warning that was ignored.
The victims of Sunday's skirmishes included two of Assir's bodyguards, according to the local The Daily Star newspaper. Addressing his supporters the next day, Assir said, "The weapons' party wants to kill us. They killed two of my men. I call on you to take up weapons. But don't rush or get dragged [into fighting]."
Assir frequently refers to Hezbollah as "the weapons' party" following the Shiite movement's refusal to lay down its weapons. It's a contentious issue in Lebanese political circles since Hezbollah was the only Lebanese faction allowed to keep its weapons after the end of the 1970s civil war. Hezbollah maintains it needs its arms for the resistance against Israel. The group's arsenal is believed to outweigh that of the Lebanese national military.
Once hailed as a heroic resistance movement against Israel by most Lebanese, Hezbollah's standing with the Sunni community plummeted by 2008, when Hezbollah militants clashed with Sunni militias on the streets of Beirut. The Shiite movement vanquished its Sunni rivals in a brisk show of strength.
Relations between the two groups have been strained since the Sunni-led uprising in Syria began last year. Most Lebanese Sunnis support the uprising against Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad, a member of the minority Shiite Alawite community. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement on the other hand supports Assad's Alawite regime. Last month, sectarian relations in Lebanon nosedived following the October 19 assassination of anti-Syrian former Lebanese intelligence chief, Wissam al-Hassan.
Two sides provoking each other
In his interview with L'Orient-le-Jour, Assir rejected the presence in Sidon "of those who kill our brothers in Syria and just killed Wissam al-Hassan in Beirut."
Since Sunday's skirmishes, there has been a heavy Lebanese security presence in the southern city of Sidon, with Assir threatening to block the city's major thoroughfares.
The growing tensions between Nasrallah and Assir's supporters have caused alarm in Lebanese political circles, with Interior Minister Marwan Charbel calling on both parties to restore calm.
"They are provoking each other – Hezbollah by stubbornly maintaining their posters and Sheikh al-Assir by going into an area that is a stronghold of the Shiite majority," said Charbel in an interview with L'Orient-le-Jour.
In a phone interview from Beirut with FRANCE 24, a Lebanese security official who declined to be named said the current situation, if not carefully handled, could spiral out of control.
"Al-Assir's repeated provocations towards Hezbollah may eventually radicalise people and cause much more serious incidents across the country," he said, noting that the Salafist preacher's message appeals to Lebanon's "Sunni street" – which is frustrated and feels marginalised by Hezbollah's power.
"Even if a majority of Lebanese agreed with him on the need to disarm Hezbollah, his methods are far from desirable because they exacerbate tensions. Fortunately, his supporters are not very numerous and Hezbollah has been patient with him," said the Lebanese security source.
But in a tinderbox city like Sidon, there are no guarantees that a precarious peace can hold for long. With the Shiite holy day of Ashura - which commemorates the murder of the Prophet's grandson Imam Hussein - falling on November 24 this year, tensions are expected to rise between Lebanon's Shiites and Sunnis – especially in Sidon.

I&M Staff Writer
For many years, teenagers looking for a book to read at the Atheneum wandered the stacks along the narrow corridor between the main library and the children�s wing, where the books for teens were shelved. With no room of their own, teens had one Windsor chair to sit on. Adolescents stood propped up against a wall or sat on the floor, while dreamily thumbing through a book.
This never-world for teens is about to change as the new Young Adult section of the library will open on Saturday, Jan. 12 in the west wing of the recently-repainted Great Hall.
Children�s librarian Maggie Head and members of the Atheneum�s Teen Advisory Board have been meeting for the past year to designate a space in the Great Hall for young adults.
�Teenagers need a place to hang out,� said Wyatt Leske, a member of the advisory board. �The Weezie library is a great place for kids, but teenagers need their own space.�
Before the library�s 1996 renovation, which reopened the second-floor Great Hall for lectures and research, the second-floor space was opened just once a week in the summer for tours.
When the Atheneum was rebuilt in 1846 after the Great Fire, which destroyed most of downtown, the library was the cultural center of the island. Writers and intellectuals of the day, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Horace Greeley, Lucretia Mott, Frederick Douglass and Maria Mitchell addressed audiences in the Great Hall as lectures were a popular form of entertainment.
After the library�s 1996 renovation, the Great Hall was reopened to the public. A computer lab and library tables were installed. The local history collection and rare books, which had been stored in the Great Hall, became easily accessible to the public. The stage which hosted many of the greatest thinkers of the 19th century was once again hosting writers, including Nathaniel Philbrick, Calvin Trillin, John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry, Stephen E. Ambrose, Lisa Norling, Henry Louis Gates Jr. and David McCullough.
�The Great Hall is a very beautiful space,� said Leske, a senior at Nantucket High School. �It has a very nice atmosphere.�
�We have a growing high school, the teen population on Nantucket is growing,� he added. �The library is a great institution. I hope it�ll be the way it always was.�
The new Young Adult section will carry nonfiction and fantasy books, a DVD movie collection and magazines geared toward adolescents. The space will also be renovated to include study carrels, comfortable chairs for reading and a study table.
�The idea of a young-adult reader is not a new, but attention to this group, 12- to 18-year-olds, has increased over the past 10 years,� said Head. �We are hoping to increase young adult use with this new space and increased programming.�
�The category is not for reading level, but more for different content appropriate for teen readers,� added Head. �In the new space, we will have a young adult staff member available on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons until 8 p.m. and on Saturdays.�
High school junior Lizzy Skokan works at the library as a page in the children�s section and also serves on the Teen Advisory Board. This is her third winter working in the children�s room.
�The children�s section has so many younger books,� said Skokan. �Right now, we have a small hallway. The Great Hall has so much space.�
Although the high school has a library, Skokan noted the differences between the Atheneum and the high school facility.

Leske takes a look through some of the reading material in the newly designation young adult section of the Great Hall at the Nantucket Atheneum.
�It�s not as structured as the school library, which is geared toward research. I enjoy reading in the town library. I think the new space will bring kids in.�
So far, three teen �Open Mic� nights have been planned, but the advisory board is also looking to offer poetry slams, workshops in comic art and other events.
�I�ve enjoyed working with the teens� energy and fresh ideas,� said Head. �If we want them to be engaged in services for their age group, they definitely need to be involved in the process.�
The young-adult section will open at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan.. 12, with a performance by the Chuck Colley Trio in the Great Hall, 1 India St. A reception will take place following the concert at 8:30 p.m. Members of the public are invited to view the newly-renovated space, learn more about services for young adults and enjoy refreshments.

Gross Play from Grossman
If I were Rex Grossman, I'd be staying away from Chicago city limits for a few weeks. Probably a few months, actually.
The much-maligned Bears quarterback was at it again last night, and he did it on the biggest stage in professional sports. If, for some reason, you didn't have the Super Bowl on, you missed a dominating performance by Peyton Manning (often maligned himself) and the Colts, while Grossman and the Bears lacked the swagger that many had thought would carry them to the championships.
In many football games, you can look at the quarterbacks' numbers and tell who won the game. Though Grossman completed 20-of-28 passes (71.3 percent), he threw for only 165 yards - about 40 on the final drive when the game was all but over - to go along with one touchdown and two picks, both of which came at critical junctures in the game. He also lost a pair of fumbled snaps and slipped dropping back on a pass, costing the team crucial yards and field position.
While Manning was far from his spectacular self - 247 yards, one touchdown, one pick - he also completed a high percentage of his passes, completing the throws that the Bears left open and did a great job managing the game. Chicago often dropped both of its safeties 18-20 yards back, allowing Manning to complete as many short and medium routes as he wanted. Conversely, the Colts packed the line of scrimmage on defense, daring Grossman to beat them deep. As far as I can remember, Grossman only threw one deep ball, to Bernard Berrian that Bob Sanders picked off in the fourth quarter, and the throw was so poor, you would have thought it was receiving welfare checks every month.
The Colts slowly, methodically, wore down the vaunted Bears defense, converting eight of 18 third downs, rushing for 191 yards and holding onto the ball for 38 minutes. The Bears offense, so one-dimensional the entire season, managed just one big play - a 52 yard run by Thomas Jones in the first quarter - as Tony Dungy proved that Indy's defensive flaws earlier in the season could be corrected. Grossman made only a couple of good throws, including his touchdown pass, but didn't make nearly enough plays to make the Colts respect his ability to throw the ball.
I predicted Thursday during our radio show that the Colts would exploit Grossman's weaknesses, and that the Bears would need their defense or special teams to carry them. Well, Devin Hester returned a kickoff for a touchdown, the Colts turned the ball over three times...and it still wasn't enough.
If I were a Chicago Bears fan, I'd have homicidal feelings towards Grossman. Watching the game last night, my friends and I were joking about which of Tank Johnson's guns he was going to use to shoot Grossman. And what about Lovie Smith? He's had Brian Griese sitting on the bench all season, almost like that old convertible that you store away in the winter months to keep it clean, keep the mileage down, save it from more wear and tear. But Lovie, in his shining moment, the first day of spring, the first sunny day, the Super freaking Bowl, stuck with his Pinto. And his Pinto broke down on the side of road.
And I think that Pinto is going to be sitting on the side of the road for a long, long time.

72 and Sunny ....
I have followed the great sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and would also like to enter this into this week's theme of "Here comes Summer" over at OSAAT:
The ice cream loving monkey is of course Pollycraft's Chester Cool - one of the new releases. His glasses have glossy accents on them to give them some shine and the little sprinkles on the cone are little beads which I had lying around.

Why go through all the work to set-up a mystery and attempt at misunderstanding only to spoil everything in the preview for the next episode? *shakes head*
Natori-san is a mysterious person. I wonder if what we're seeing is truly him or he's just a very, very good actor? It'll be a completely surprising twist if he ends up betraying Natsume in the end....a very sad twist, though.

^I'm getting a bad vibe from him as well. Maybe he won't betray Natsume, but this episode raised some suspicion that he may not be as nice a guy as he portrays himself to be. It did seem suspicious that some of the frames purposely avoided showing his entire face after he walked in on the Book of Friends reveal.
As for the episode itself, it was an interesting topic. We get a lot of stories about how fleeting the bonds between the two worlds are, but in this case, we have familiars who are bound to their exorcists and are forced to watch them die all the while being unable to interact with them. At least in Taki's case last season, as well as in the other stories, the youkai/ayakashi have the ability to leave and move on or stay of their own volition.
Ep 3: Got a good, long chuckle from the last scene. Also, Natsume's always so polite towards other humans, it was nice to see him break out of that shell and show his annoyed and rude side to Shibata instead of hiding his true feelings.

It's hard to say with Natori, but I want to believe in him. The most serious aspect of this I'd like simply be Natsume deciding not to burden Natori with the specifics about the book of friends. That's just a heavy secret to keep for someone heavily involved in the exorcist world.
I could see a betrayal coming as a huge test for Natsume's character development. Someone who has tried so darn hard to expand his circle of trust as far as he has.
But at this point I'll keep the faith going. We've come this far with Natori being a good guy, I'd like it to keep going .

I can't imagine Natori betraying Natsume, ever. He might have hated youkai when he first appeared, but he doesn't harbor such feelings anymore (at the very least, they're not as strong), and he isn't the power hungry type either. He obviously heard the line about the book of friends but the reason he keeps quiet is because he wants Natsume to tell him himself when he is ready, nothing more.

I don't see Natori betraying Natsume either. If anything is being set up here, it might be a case where Natsume feels betrayed by something Natori does and we get the "in the world of adults sometimes you have to..." routine.

This turned out to be a really heartwarming story, once again. Nobody had bad intentions, yet a disaster almost happened. I wish Takuma had been allowed to see his youkai friends one last time with Taki's circle as Natsume suggested, but alas, exorcists have strict rules.
I have to admit that despite what I said last week, the end of the ep gave me bad vibes. I still think Natori only has the best of intentions in mind, but as seen in this very episode, that can still lead to horrible consequences if you don't know what you're doing. And Natori has no idea just how precious the book of friends is. I can definitely imagine him inadvertently hurting Natsume by taking it away, or worse, trying to destroy it.
You know, it's actually been a while since we last saw Natsume give a youkai his name back.

Given Natsume's foreshadowing comments last episode about Natori, I wasn't surprised about the ending of ep 5. Natsume's conflict with Natori over the book of friends will probably be the ultimate event Natsume will face. Natsume has a strong stance on the side of youkai (and his youkai friends) while we clearly see that Natori sides solely with human. However, Takuma's comment how Natori has changed hints that there's hope for a peaceful resolution between Natori and Natsume. Also, this conflict may reveal the significance of Natori's youkai/lizard shadow possession - I think it will play a role in this somehow.
Another issue that keeps popping up again and again throughout the series is losing the ability to see youkai and trying to live a normal life after the fact. Natsume had a brief, temporary experience of this. I'm guessing this issue will be a deciding factor for Natsume's future association with his youkai acquaintances.
I see the resolution of the above 2 issues as possibly the definite finale to this series.

This isn't the kind of show where you'd see some kind of protracted struggle between Natori and Natsume. A two or three parter, perhaps, but that would be it.
What Natori hasn't seen, and therefore doesn't understand about Natsume is that he's developed genuine relationships with the youkai. Not a master-familiar relationship, bound by a mystical contract, but genuine friendships with emotional bonds. Nyanko-sensei is the only one of these relationships Natori knows about. He doesn't know about the Dog Circle or Misuzu (who allows Natsume to hold his name by his own free choice) or mustache-guy or any of the others.
If Natori tried to take the book away, all these youkai would try to stop him, and at that point Natori would understand that what Natsume has is special. Or at least that's how I would write it.

Nothing great happened in ep6 and yet it is such an endearing episode. I can certainly understand the sadness Natsume must feel looking forward to the time when they graduate and all his first true friends leave to live their own lives. No wonder he wishes to remain at this time forever.

That was a good one. It was nice in a way to get another look at basically S1 Natsume. Seeing how he got involved with Nishimura and Kitamoto and what they've been through. Kind of like the Fujiwara episode in a way. They can't see what Natsume does, but certainly those two have been through a couple odd situations.
Makes sense that Natsume doesn't look forward to graduation or anything. He's finally found peace. A family he can rely on and precious friends. These two represent normal for Natsume and are important for that reason.
Plus was nice to see what these two have going on in their lives. They aren't just Natsume's friends, but living their own lives with good and bad things happening in them.

I think it was about time Nishimura and Kitamoto got their own episode. They've been there since pretty much the beginning, yet we knew next to nothing about them, least of all how they became so close to Natsume. Nice to see the class rep again too, even if it only was for a minute or so.

Another really good episode, and one focusing on characters in the franchise that have not received a lot of attention previously. It's interesting to see how both friends are pretty normal folks, but at the same time kinda perceptive about some things about Natsume himself....

That was another lovely episode ... and yes, bittersweet indeed. Episodes that focus a lot on Reiko are one of my favorite revisited content in this franchise. ^^

Ep 6: I was really looking forward to this episode as soon as I saw Nishimura and Kitamoto in the preview title, and it didn't disappoint. Like Touko-san, it seems like they also have inklings that there's something otherworldly about Natsume, yet they still accept him all the same. I'm glad we were able to have this episode from their perspective and see what a difference there is between the past and present. Natsume has been able to meet such wonderful people, it's understandable that at the moment, his only real desire is to maintain the status quo that he's created.
Ep 7: It was nice learning more about Reiko and her self-denial when it came to forming bonds. This might have been the first time we received mention that there's someone she's living with, and it's looking like she might have been in the same situation as Natsume, where she's being passed around. Meeting Nyanko-sensei might have been the best thing to happen to Natsume; otherwise, he might have ended up continuing to distance himself from everyone like his grandmother.

"The oneness of mentor and disciple is the very heart of the Lotus Sutra and the essence of Nichiren Daishonin's teachings, yet the priests try to destroy and cast aside this most crucial element. This is a characteristic of devilish functions, known as "robbers of life."
To reject the oneness of mentor and disciple is to reject the mutual possession of the Ten Worlds; it constitutes an attack on the fundamental equality of all human beings. The true nature of the Nichiren Shoshu priesthood is revealed here for all to see." (Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra by Daisaku Ikeda, 160–61)

I know you're probably thinking that's an odd name for cookies, but let me explain.
Ginger is an herb that has a traditionally been used to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as a carminative (a substance which eliminates intestinal bloating/gas) and an anti-spasmodic (relaxing and soothing the intestinal tract). A potent anti-inflammatory, ginger has been used for pain relief from arthritis, muscle soreness, menstrual pain, upper respiratory tract infections, cough, and bronchitis. Studies have also found that ginger powder is effective in treating common migraine symptoms.
These cookies are full of nutrients; fiber from the chia and coconut flour, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT's) from the coconut oil and coconut flour, and protein from the almond flour, coconut flour and chia.
1 Cup Blanched Almond Meal
1 Cup Tapioca or Arrowroot Starch
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar
2 Tablespoons Ground Chia (or Flax)
1 Tablespoon Ground Organic Ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Ground Organic Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 Cup Melted Coconut Oil
1/4 to 1/2 Cup Filtered Water
2 Tablespoons Organic Maple Syrup
OPTIONAL: Diced Ginger Pieces
Preheat Oven to 300 Degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or your silpat.
Add all dry ingredients (except the diced ginger pieces) to the bowl of your food processor and blend to combine.
Slowly add the coconut oil through the tube while the food processor is running and the oil is incorporated.
The dough should be a very thick ball at this point.
While the food processor is still running add the maple syrup until blended.
Slowly add the water, a little at a time until the dough begins to loosen (the consistency should be like thick chocolate chip cookie dough).
Scoop out 2 Tablespoon sized portions and drop on the prepared cookie sheet.
Wet your hands with water or oil and gently flatten with the palm of your hands or finger tips.
The cookies will not spread so shape them before baking.
Top with the optional diced ginger and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browning on the bottom.

Lately, I have come under attack over my views on Christianity. After much consideration, I believe it is time to try and explain myself. The reader cannot possibly understand my feelings of betrayal. Of horror. Of outrage. My grandmother was a devout Christian. My great-grandmother was a devout Quaker. My family has deep religious roots that somehow skipped my parents. My family also has a rich history of fighting bigotry, again with the notable exception of my parents, who seem to have been a genetic anomaly.
Those people who know me understand I have devoted my life to research. I love knowledge. Sometimes, that knowledge becomes a curse, and this is one of those times. I will never see the word "Christian" again without abhorrent images coming to my mind. Images of Jews being locked inside of buildings while fanatics set the building on fire. Jews being tied to stakes and set ablaze. Jews being skinned alive. Jews being beaten to death, and then dragged through the streets until their bodies were so mutilated they no longer resembled human beings. Jews being tortured by unimaginable means until they "confessed" to the "crime" of being Jews. Jews being crucified (no, Jesus was not the first). Jews being suspected of "evil machinations" even after being forced to convert to Christianity. Jews being driven from their homes. Jews being exiled. Jews being forced to wear "identifying" insignia (no, that did not originate with the Nazis).
What is the root of this damnable hatred? In this particular instance, it is Christianity. Beginning in 38 C.E. (long before Islam), Jews were massacred for the "crime" of being Jews:
Those who have read my previous posts have gotten a sample of my theological objections to Christianity. But, the purpose of this entry is to explain what some on Twitter have dubbed my "hatred". I am struggling to understand the heinousness of the Christian doctrine. I have stated many times (such statements have been repeatedly ignored) that I do not blame every single Christian for the history of that theology. I know there are many who simply do not know any better. But, I DO damn the doctrine, and I believe I always will, for it is such blood libels as "Jews killed Messiah!" and "Jews kill Christians for matzos!" that have led to the deaths of millions of Jews. Long before anyone ever heard of Hitler.
Christian apologists are quick to point out that, "That was then. This is now. We would never go along with such things these days." Really? Well, let us start with the fact that the matzos story is still circulating among Islamic circles to this day:
I hope the reader paid close attention to that second video...every second. Here we see the excuses. It is "proven" that Jews use Christian blood for matzos. There is a conspiracy that only a select few "researchers" have uncovered. Notice the "Jews own the media" comment? Let us add to that "Jews own the banks. Jews own the government. Jews are conspiring to take over the world." Never mind the mathematical impossibility of this ridiculous mantra (15 million controlling 7 billion? What are you smoking?). This is NAZI PROPAGANDA worthy of an award from Goebbels! (As an aside, the reference to the Jewish tribes of Medina is particularly damnable. How can one be descended from tribes Mohammad ERADICATED by beheading and enslaving their members?!)
Then, let us move on to whether or not Jews killed Jesus. I covered that in a previous post as well. But, the signs at local pro-"Palestine" rallies still tell the tale that the Christian church started: "Christ-Killers!" These libels are dangerous, because they are deadly, and their homicidal track record is proven.
I have been fighting this propaganda campaign for a very long time. People have questioned my tactics; they may or may not have a point. I do listen to such criticism. That is not to say I mindlessly agree with it, but I would be a fool not to weigh such input. I do. But, I am writing this in hopes of making the following impression: When I hear/see/read such things, I see DANGER. REAL DANGER. "Mein Kampf" was not "freedom of speech". It was a death warrant. And, what I have learned of Christianity not only makes me embarrassed for having ever embraced such a doctrine, not only makes me wonder what my grandparents would have had to say, but it SCARES ME. The underlying dogma is DEADLY. THAT is what provokes such reactions within me. Perhaps the reader can understand that.
So, yes. I have some serious work to do. I have no idea how to reconcile the ghastly atrocities committed in the name of Christianity with some "kumbaya" attempt to make peace with it all. This danger is alive and well. If it were confined to the 15th century, I could put it in its proper place. But, it continues to live in this day and age and therefore is a very real, present enemy. I have much work to do, and I ask for patience from those who wish to crucify me. There is much to digest, and I am only human.

Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO and real-life Tony Stark, recently teased this on his Twitter page:
Well, now it's available to watch on YouTube and it does not disappoint. The two-minute video shows us SpaceX's failed attempts at landing its Orbital Rocket Boosters on several occasions. Sometimes it was down to low amounts of liquid oxygen, sometimes it was the landing leg collapsing and tipping over the rocket.
In any case, it just goes to show that the saying is true: rocket science is hard. Even if you're Elon Musk.
Part of SpaceX's mission is to create reliable, reusable rockets that can be sent into orbit and brought back down again, slashing the costs of having to build new rocket boosters every time you take a trip to space. They've managed to perfect their landings and this year made history when they successfully sent to space, and brought back, a reused rocket.
Just last week, Musk showed his Instagram follows the first look at the spacesuit currently being developed at SpaceX for its manned missions.
SpaceX hopes to make humans a multi-planetary species, by eventually sending humans on a missions to Mars.

I was asked to submit a few sake ideas for the upcoming Christmas Guide for The Bulletin, and decided to choose a few unique sakes this time around. Here's a preview for you to enjoy. Kanpai!
Hakkaisan Junmai Sparkling Nigori
The snow-capped mountains of Mount Hakkai provide not only a lovely backdrop to Hakkaisan Brewery in Niigata Prefecture, its pristine spring water is used to make the brewery's famed delicately light and crisp sake. Hakkaisan Sparkling Nigori is highly textured and perfect for entertaining. Nigori is sake that's been roughly-pressed so some of the rice sediment remains in the bottle. This nigori, however, also has bubbles, enhancing the mouthfeel further. Lively and fun, this sake is mildly sweet with a dry, clean finish and the delicate fragrance of ripe persimmon and Anjou pear.
Pair with a nice medium fat brie or Manchego cheese. Serve lightly chilled.
Available at select BCLDB stores – $24.99 for 360 ml
Kozaemon Junmai Umeshu
This small brewery from Gifu Prefecture approaches their craft with deep respect for sake brewing tradition and a healthy dose of youthful innovation. The three-person production team–all in their 30's–have incorporated sustainable and forward-thinking approaches to making sake, which bodes well for this 300 year-old brewery's continued success. Kozaemon's umeshu is unlike most in the market, which are typically blended with distilled alcohol like shochu and are cloyingly sweet. Kozaemon has created a junmai sake specifically for theirs, adding a depth and gentleness distilled-alcohol umeshu cannot emulate. Softly sweet, balanced with the rounded tartness of the plums, this is a delightful aperitif or digestif that's perfect for the holidays. It also comes in a handsome elegant bottle that would make for unique and memorable gifting.
Pairs well with a fruit sorbet, but simply perfect on its own. Try it neat at room temperature or add a couple of ice cubes in a rocks glass and enjoy like a whiskey or scotch.
Available at Viti Wine and Lager, Kitsilano Wine Cellar, 16th Street Liquor Store (W Van), Liberty-Park Royal, Liberty-Granville Island – price will vary, approx. $75 for 500 ml
Kamotsuru Tokusei Gold Daiginjo
A more traditional sake than the above choices, this super premium sake, which hails from Hiroshima's esteemed Kamotsuru Brewery (est.1623), comes with a twist. A technological sake pioneer, Kamotsuru was one of the first to utilize modern rice-milling machines, consequently producing some of the earliest ginjo and daiginjo grade sakes in Japan. The pinnacle of Kamotsuru's sake is their Tokusei Gold Daiginjo—a lovely soft-on-the-palate sake. Lightly sweet, it's clean and smooth with touches of anise and cantaloupe. The gorgeous teardrop-shaped bottle (shown above) is a conversation piece in itself, but if you look closely you will see sakura-shaped gold flakes (kinpura) dancing inside.
Pair this with sashimi or light fresh cheeses like burrata and ricotta. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Available at Legacy Liquor Store – $85.25 for 720 ml

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition in which the nerves of the feet and/or legs do not function properly. Common symptoms include tingling, numbness, sharp pains and/or burning pains to the affected parts of the body. There are over one hundred known causes of peripheral neuropathy. Treatments for peripheral neuropathy vary depending on its cause. Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency is a well known cause of peripheral neuropathy. Diabetics and non-diabetics alike may be thiamine deficient. If you have tingling, numbness, sharp pains and/or burning pains to the feet, legs and/or hands you may be thiamine deficient. Reversing thiamine deficiency is a well known and often highly successful way to nutritionally manage peripheral neuropathy.
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition in which the nerves of the feet, legs and/or hands do not function properly due to sustained high blood glucose levels. Common symptoms include tingling, numbness, sharp pains or burning pains to the affected parts of the body.
Diabetics are often thiamine (vitamin B1) deficient. Nutritional management of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy with Neuremedy is often highly successful in reducing the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Neuremedy works by delivering a highly bioactive form of the micro-nutrient thiamine to where it is needed, the nerve cells. In a very real sense, Neuremedy works by nourishing the nerves. That's why Neuremedy is known as "The Neuropathy Vitamin".
Neuremedy is a medical food that nourishes dysfunctional nerves allowing them to conduct impulses more normally. The specialized formulation in Neuremedy contains benfotiamine. Benfotiamine has been used since the early 1960's to successfully help tens of thousands of patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy in Asia and Europe.

more bands should do it
It won't be as good as the Mount Eerie book.
