Are they going to be free fights or pay-per-view? I'm too cheap to pay and watch.
what!! I didnt do anything!
Hi Gunnslinger
Sky ate a rock that wouldn't pass so she had to have an operation to remove the rock. She is doing well but still has a bucket on. She gets it off on Thursday. I bought a used TiLite ZRc and added the FreeWheel. We got a chance to try it out a few times before her operation. The combo is so nice. Light weight and smooth and safe. I am adding lights in back and a flag so cars won't run us over when we are in parks. My wife and I and Sky are going on vacation soon. We will be near Armstrong State Reserve - it gets very dark in the redwoods even during the day - so I am thinking lights are needed. I'll try to get pics and post them.
Perhaps it was stopped early, but Fedor was given an unwelcome gift. He would have been clobbered and possibly maimed.
I don't really have any mma favorites, I just like good fights.
glad to be of some use

Good luck man. When i get them questions i just make up a story like, i saved some kids in a cross walk from a runaway bus, they be ok but the bus clipped me and busted my back. Just make some stuff up,

Lavender....I can't hear you....there is water in my ears.
Gunnslinger8 love ya too.
Ah...luv you do make a splash don't you? :-) you've been avoiding the darkside...no?
Thanks for the compliments. You sound pretty cool too. I'd put you on my list of members I' d like to get to know better.
Something will come through but sure those latinas are nice and I must say, all women have their ways and if you have a chance to travel, go to puerto rico and enjoy. I would love it if I could travel the world not have to worry bout nothing. Have a great day and thx for the support in the drama of what many go through.
Hi Gunnslinger8. I'm not sure I am doing this right - so who knows where this will be posted. Re taking a service dog into a restaurant, I am with your friend. I would rather leave my dog in the Van (if it is cool enough) and then bring her a treat from the restaurant if she hasn't already eaten the Van. Of course she is 87 pounds and a wild beast - maybe that is why I don't want to take her into the restaurant.
You are welcome buddy, yea for sure we gotta talk
There are a lot of tutorials on the web, Gunnslinger. You can learn anything if you have the time and the perseverance. I myself am burned out with coding, and I'm back into construction. Good luck amigo.

Author: Rowena Cory Daniels
Publisher: Solaris
Release date: out now
Source: Bought
Description: The Kingdom of Rolencia sleeps as rumours of new Affinity Seeps, places where the untamed power wells up. By royal decree all those afflicted with Affinity must serve the Abbey or face death. Sent to the Abbey, the King's youngest son, Fyn, trains to become a warrior monk. Elsewhere others are tainted with Affinity and must fight to survive. Political intrigue and magic combine in this explosive first book in an exciting new fantasy trilogy.
My thoughts: I have to say it was very frustrating reading this book. I love a fantasy series with political intrigue and I'd thought that would be what I was getting with this. Right from the start though I was disappointed.
The story starts with Byren on a hunting trip, and he soon hears the prophecy that he will kill his twin. Readers are also introduced to younger brother Fyn, training to be a monk because of his magical ability, and little sister Piro, still very much a child in the eyes of those around her. The story focuses on Byren & how events develop because of the prophecy and something that happens with his friend early in the book. Byren did annoy me a bit - I never saw him as the inspiring leader other characters supposedly see him as. He made some poor judgement calls that I just couldn't understand. Fyn was more interesting to read about but the schoolboy squabbles and bullying at the abbey were the sort of thing I find quite boring. Piro was my favourite, and I think will be an interesting character to follow in the next book. She had the most character development over the book.
I was incredibly frustrated with the author's style though. The writing just felt a bit clunky, and although the plot was good, I think it's really been let down by the storytelling here. I felt like the author did a lot of unnecessary 'telling' - a character would say something to themselves that had already been implied, for example. If it only happened a few times I could let that go, but it came up again and again. I did enjoy the plot, but I often found myself skimming pages so that I could find out what was going on without having to actually read it. Because of the plot, I'm giving this 5/10. I would read the sequels, but they are a long way down my list of bookish priorities at the moment.

Gallery image submissions will be displayed in the public community photo gallery hosted by Fairy Gardening Australia. By submitting your image, you are authorizing Fairy Gardening Australia to use your fairy garden photo on our website, newsletter and social media platforms. Where possible, credit is given to the image author.
Fairy Gardening Australia will NEVER provide your images to third parties without your express permission, however, once your image is published, we are unable to control image lifting and sharing. Further, we accept no responsibility for images appearing on unauthorized third party websites and platforms.
Fairy Gardening Australia reviews all submissions to the gallery. Images that do not meet the minimum image requirements will be removed. Upon submission, our system automatically generates a watermark on images which will appear in the top left corner. The purpose of the watermark is to identify the original source of upload.
From time to time, we receieve image requests from media outlets (TV, newspaper, magazine, blogs) to accompany our editorial contributions. If we feel that your photo would be suitable for a project or campaign, we will contact you and request written permission to use your image. This is entirely optional.
Your photo will appear in our gallery for an undetermined period of time. We may remove your image without notice or our system may auto remove your image if our gallery is reaching the maximum limit to free up space for new submissions. Once it is removed, it will be stored in our database for a period not exceeding 7 years.

Your fairy garden (or favourite part of it) should be centred in the image.
Best angle: We recommend you try 2 angles – level and 45° to find which works best for your garden.

If surrounding items do not add to the aesthetic of your garden, remove them or try adjusting your angle. Alternatively, crop them from the image prior to upload.
Refrain from adding borders, emoji's, image and text layers or collages. They distract the eye of the viewer and do not enhance your image. You are welcome to use a filter to enhance tone or clarity, but it is best to keep this minimal. Image colour quality can be effected by a number of factors and a colour enhancement filter can correct this. Fairy Gardening Australia will not adjust, add filters to or crop gallery images. We will automatically apply a watermark to the top left corner of your image for the purpose listed in our Image Use Policy.

Someone please save Shamu
Millions of tourists flock to SeaWorld each year to enjoy marine exhibits, lay hands on happily squealing dolphins and cheer as massive Orcas perform aquatic acrobatics at their famed Shamu shows. Orcas and their trainers seem a perfect team, showing the beautiful relationships that humans can cultivate with animals.
That's what most tourists see when they pay the price of admission. Over the years, a few unlucky arenas full of children and marine enthusiasts have gotten a more brutal, and perhaps more honest, look at that relationships when performing animals revolt, maiming or killing their trainers.
As it turns out, spending your days swimming in a small pool, waving your flippers at a crowd and hauling humans around a tank may not be so rewarding. What happens when a multi-ton animal has had enough? Tilikum, SeaWorld Orlando's 12,000-pound Orca who lived in captivity since the age of three, killed three people.
Is Tilikum a bloodthirsty beast biding his time until the next kill? Or is he a wild animal driven to near psychosis by his living conditions?
No matter how you answer that question, you may be interested to know that Tilikum is still swimming circles in his Orlando pen, performing in the occasional show.
Why? He's worth too much to euthanize.
Blackfish is a stunning, troubling documentary about Tilikum and other killer whales that have lived and performed in captivity. Think of it as an outrageously depressing version of Free Willy. The film argues that a combination of ignorance and willful cruelty has made these sensitive and intelligent animals dangerous to themselves and others.
Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite (City Lax) exposes both mercenary practices that have led to the deaths of several whales and the people and marketing campaigns that put a happy face on the animals' existence. She expertly cuts together tourist footage of animals performing with bleeding wounds, trainers being attacked and court testimony from OSHA's lawsuit to stop SeaWorld's slipshod practices.
Packed with interviews from former SeaWorld trainers, Blackfish looks at the culture of misinformation that leads to trainer deaths. To make the bottom line, SeaWorld hires trainers not for their knowledge of marine life but for their looks and athleticism. SeaWorld experts then train these chosen beautiful people. Cowperthwaite argues that it's a system that's great for profits and criminally negligent for both the trainers and the whales. But she does not blame trainers for the mistakes of their past.
Currently at exclusive engagements at Baltimore's Charles Theater and Washington's Landmark Cinema, Blackfish is worth the trip. Go prepared for rough viewing: Some of the footage is difficult to sit through.
Despite fond memories of a childhood trip to SeaWorld, I'm moved to send my well-loved Shamu plush back to Orlando with an angry note.

At most newspapers, reporting for the society page isn't especially dangerous. But in the northern Colombian department of Córdoba, which is under siege from drug-trafficking gangs, even covering birthday parties can be risky.
Take the case of photojournalist Edwin Solano, who worked for El Propio, a tabloid that circulates among the poor and working class in Montería, the capital of Córdoba. Solano chronicled ribbon-cutting ceremonies, outdoor barbeques, and even street-corner gatherings in the city slums.
But on occasion, gang members showed up in Solano's photos, which may have allowed them to be identified and targeted by rival gangs, according to Erly Rojas, editor of El Propio. Solano received a death threat in February 2010. He immediately quit the paper and fled Montería, Rojas said.
"When these people appear in the newspaper, other gang members see them and they are declared targets" by these rival gangs, Alex Pajaro, another El Propio reporter who has received death threats for photographing gang members, told CPJ.
The gangs, known in Spanish as bandas criminales or "bacrim," are the offspring of right-wing paramilitary death squads that fought the country's Marxist guerrillas and trafficked cocaine. The paramilitaries disarmed in the mid-2000s. But many demobilized fighters went on to form bacrims, which have been especially difficult for journalists to cover.
The bacrims now have about 6,000 members nationwide, according to the Colombian National Police, who say they now pose a bigger security threat than the country's guerrilla groups. In a show of strength, one of the largest bacrims, known as Los Urabeños, recently declared a two-day general strike that shut down commerce and transportation across much of northern Colombia.
Unlike the paramilitaries, the bacrims lack a political agenda and are extremely hostile toward reporters, said Ginna Morelo, managing editor of the Montería daily El Meridiano, which also publishes El Propio. And because there is no visible commander or spokesman for these groups, she said securing interviews or permission to visit zones under bacrim control is nearly impossible.
Morelo said that the bacrims have declared many rural regions of Córdoba off limits to journalists and have warned taxi drivers not to take reporters into these areas. Morelo sometimes travels without identifying herself as a reporter but said many areas of the department simply go uncovered.
"There are a lot of no-go zones," she said. "That makes our job more difficult and creates a lot of self-censorship."
Morelo added: "Most journalists are not going very far in their stories. They don't dare do much investigative reporting."
Indeed, those who have done so sometimes face threats and attacks. Clodomiro Castilla, the editor and publisher of the Montería newsmagazine El Pulso del Tiempo -- who often wrote about links between politicians, landowners and illegal armed groups -- was shot dead by an unidentified gunman in March 2010.
Another veteran reporter, Edgar Astudillo of La Voz de Montería radio station, received death threats from bacrims in 2010 and fled Montería for Bogota. He's now back in Montería but works in an environment of fear and intimidation.
For example, someone who claimed to belong to Los Urabeños recently telephoned Astudillo at the radio station and ordered him to read the group's communiqué announcing this month's general strike. Astudillo at first refused but after several more threatening phone calls, he went on the air reading parts of the communiqué.
"In other circumstances, I would not have read the document," Astudillo said. "But I felt pressured."
There are also in-house pressures to deal with. One Montería reporter, who requested anonymity, said it's often impossible to report on links between the bacrim and local politicians because they often have close ties to Montería advertisers and to the owners of local media outlets.
"The gag order," this reporter said, "comes from within."

Super Bowl tickets
Football is not just the most popular sport in America but also hugely popular all over worldwide. With a hardcore fan base & some of the affluent competitors in the world, Football's past can be delineated back to the early part of the twentieth century when various leagues started cropping up in assorted parts throughout the country.
Today the National Football League, or NFL, has become the most well-known sports leagues in the world and, depending on where you live in the U.S., if you're a fan of football you probably have defined and distinct alliances to the team that either plays football in your city or an adjacent one.
Super Bowl fans are, to put it mildly, incredibly appreciative of their team and have no hesitation making their opinion known about how great it is and how tough the Super Bowl players are. They say that if you're an Super Bowl fan you bleed Super Bowl colors and I wouldn't dare test this theory on any fanatic Super Bowl fan come game time.
There are thirty two teams across the country that play in the NFL and your allegiances usually are formed based on either where you were born or where you grew up. This actually makes for interesting and exciting games because, since Americans tend to move quite frequently, you may often find fans of one city's team residing in a completely different area but still cheering for "their" team when they are in town to play the local team.
Some states, and indeed some cities, have more than one NFL team that represents them. Often you find one of these teams representing the NFC, or National Football Conference, while the other represents the Atlantic Football Conference, or AFC .

Ferrari excites Silicon Valley. Montezemolo talks at Stanford and meets heads of Apple and Google
San Francisco, 25 April – The Prancing Horse also conquers "Silicon Valley", the area South of San Francisco, where over a short period of time the most important IT companies in the world were born and where we find one of the world's most prestigious Universities: Stanford. Also here in the world of technology and digital content the enthusiasm for the cars from Maranello, with avant-garde technology and the passion from those who build them, is enormous.
For Ferrari the USA is the most important market in the world. Luca di Montezemolo met Apple CEO Tim Cook and the heads of Google, talking in front of more than 600 students from Standford University. "I'm not here to sell cars, but to communicate a dream," he said under the applause of the guests at the conference 'View from the top'. The Ferrari Chairman encouraged the young students to follow their dreams: "Be creative, follow your goals, use technology, dominate innovation, but don't become dependent on machines, you have to be in the driver's seat of your lives. Never lose the curiosity for what is around you."
"Intelligence and innovative ideas can contribute to change and shape the future", Montezemolo concluded. "Passion and attention for the smallest details are what makes our cars, those who create them and those who drive them so special, living continuous excitement."
Passion was also the golden thread at the friendly meeting with Tim Cook: "I was impressed by his availability and openness," Montezemolo said leaving the headquarters after a 2-hour face-to-face meeting. "We're building cars, they build computers. But Apple and Ferrari are connected by the same passion, the same love for the product, maniacal attention to technology, but also to design."
Tim Cook wanted to see the FF from close up, Montezemolo had used to drive to Cupertino, admiring the shapes and the interior of the 4-seat 4×4 from the Prancing Horse, excited about the sound of the 12-cylinder engine. Excitement Ferrari has always been stimulating all over the world and also here in Silicon Valley.

Mimi vs JLO on stage
FOX/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Season finale of American Idol last night. Both Mimi and JLo performed. Mimi threw down a medley of her greatest hits -- I always forget how much I love We Belong Together -- culminating in her current smash #Beautiful. It was... a little lip-synchy, right? Maybe not the middle section but definitely off the top and towards the end? Voices don't hold up forever. Full Story
Red leopard in the morning

Why not? It's our Mimi. And she's making the rounds on the morning shows, presumably to promote American Idol. Heard she was amazing on Kelly & Michael this morning which starts here on the West Coast in a few minutes. Will set the PVR and enjoy later with a glass of wine. Have you been watching Idol? I don't even bother with the performances. Full Story
Mimi: this ring is nothing
That's a wrap on Mimi at American Idol auditions! Last night the final search for contestants ended in Oklahoma City. Did it end with a bang? Not really. It ended with a glance, Mariah looking up at another mediocre wannabe, as she does, and having basically nothing to say. Here's the thing about Mariah though, she never promised your dreams could come true. Full Story
Mimi's Tears - Mariah Carey American Idol Week 2 recap
"Burnell, you made me cry!" *Randy Jackson voice* Yo for me, dawg, for me, Burnell Taylor's audition in Baton Rouge last night, THIS is the most interesting moment of Mimi on Idol so far! Here's the thing about Mariah on Idol - she can act so self-obsessed and deluded that it's very easy to forget sometimes that she possesses, or at least once possessed, a truly rare and exquisite gift. Full Story
The Mariah Carey Show recap - Episode 1
American Idol, Season 12, Episode 1 recap. (Lainey: Dean thinks the Mimi-Minaj drama is a fraud. I, as you know, think it's legit.

As we have seen, a JDOQL query is made up of different parts. In this section we look at the result part of the query. The result is what we want returning. By default (when not specifying the result) the objects returned will be of the candidate class type, where they match the query filter. Firstly let's look at what you can include in the result clause.
The result is specified in JDOQL like this
query.setResult("count(field1), field2");
In Single-String JDOQL you would specify it directly.
What you specify in the result defines what form of result you get back.
Note that if you specify unique you will be returned null or the object in question, and if there are more results than just 1 then it will throw a JDOUserException.
There are situations when you want to return a single number for a column, representing an aggregate of the values of all records. There are 5 standard JDO aggregate functions available. These are
So to utilise these you could specify something like
Query q = pm.newQuery("SELECT max(price), min(price) FROM org.datanucleus.samples.store.Product WHERE status == 1");
This will return a single row of results with 2 values, the maximum price and the minimum price of all products that have status code of 1.
JDO 2 introduces the ability to use aggregates in queries. Here's another example using the same Product class as above, but this time looking for the maximum price of products that are CD Players. Note that the result for this particular query will be of type Double since there is a single double precision value being returned via the "result".
Declarative JDOQL : Query query = pm.newQuery(org.datanucleus.samples.store.Product.class); query.setFilter("name == \"CD Player\""); query.setResult("max(this.price)"); List results = (List)query.execute(); Iterator iter = c.iterator(); Double max_price = (Double)iter.next(); Single-String JDOQL : Query query = pm.newQuery("SELECT max(price) FROM org.datanucleus.samples.store.Product WHERE name == \"CD Player\""); List results = (List)query.execute(); Iterator iter = c.iterator(); Double max_price = (Double)iter.next();

• FreeDarko's Dream Week continues with Bomani Jones on the NBA's "forgotten 'what if,'" Jordan vs. Olajuwon.

Let's just say it right out: Stanford and Harvard are the two best business schools in the world. In terms of prestige and status, you can't do better than to win the coveted MBA letters from either Stanford or Harvard. So it's not surprising that a large number of people who apply to Stanford also apply to Harvard and vice versa. When Harvard gets turned down by applicants it accepts (about 11% of those who gain an offer), more often than not the applicants go west to Stanford. The same is true when Stanford's Graduate School of Business (known as GSB) is passed over by accepted applicants. They inevitably head for Harvard Business School.
Forget the persistent stereotypes about these powerhouse schools, that Stanford is the place for those who want to do a startup and Harvard is the the place for those who want to climb a more traditional corporate ladder to the top of a Fortune 500 company. That may have been true many years ago, but it's not true now. There are some dramatic differences between these two MBA educational giants. Most notably:
Geography: This is an obvious point, but an important one. Stanford is in the heart of Silicon Valley on a campus dotted with massive palm trees that sway in the afternoon breezes. In the winter months, when Harvard students are bundled up and trudging through ice and snow, Stanford MBAs might still be wearing shorts. The Stanford campus is located between San Jose and San Francisco, which is about a 45-minute drive away. The Harvard Business School, of course, is in Boston, one of the world's most dynamic and inviting cities. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is just minutes away. So is world-class arts and culture of all kinds. But the winter months can be brutal in New England so the east-west difference is a big one.
Size: With about 390 students per class, Stanford pretty much guarantees that almost every student knows each other. A Stanford class is less than half that of Harvard which has the largest MBA enrollment of any top U.S. school. Total full-time MBA enrollment at Stanford is just 765, versus Harvard's 1,837. It's the difference between "intimate scale" and "large scale."
Facilities: The campus of Stanford's Graduate School of Business is small and compact: a complex of eight new, separate buildings created around three quadrangles opened in 2011 and a single residence hall. Harvard Business School, on the other hand, is like a university onto itself with 35 separate buildings on 40 acres of property along the Charles River. Harvard has its own state-of-the-art fitness center, a massive library, a new innovation lab, and a chapel. Strategy guru Michael Porter and his Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness even has his own building on campus. There is no other business school in the world that can even remotely match Harvard for its expansive classrooms and study halls. Stanford's new Knight Management Center, named after Nike founder and Stanford alum Phil Knight who tossed in $100 million of the $345 million cost, has given the school modern, up-to-date, world-class facilities. The available square footage increased by 30% over the previous 280,000 sq. foot of space when Stanford lacked even a single classroom with windows (HBS boasts more than 1.5 million square foot of space).
Stanford now has 13 tiered classrooms, up from 11, 20 flat-floored classrooms, up from eight, and 70 breakout and study rooms, a huge improvement from 28 previously. The larger number of breakout rooms, in particular, have helped the school to more effectively deliver a curriculum that emphasizes smaller seminar-style courses. A new 600-seat auditorium replaced the previous 324-seat model. There also are eight 16-person seminar rooms, to allow for more intimate instruction, eight showers for MBA students who also can use the university athletic center next store, and an 870-car underground parking structure on a campus where parking was always an ordeal. But that still makes it 35 buildings to nine, if you're counting.
Culture: When Harvard Business School opens its essay section inquiring about "your three most substantial accomplishments", it's not a leap to believe that Harvard – a bastion of higher overachievement – is signaling that "accomplishment", past and future, is paramount. That Harvard people value getting things done comes through loud and clear. My favorite question on the Harvard application, though, is one of four optional essays, with a 400-word limit: "When you join the HBS Class of 2013, how will you introduce yourself to your new classmates?" This gets at the aspiring students' sense of identity, and how they present themselves, and may shed light on how they might fit into a diverse group of students. The answer might also shed light on applicants' anxiety about joining such a potent group.
Stanford Business School, on the other hand, starts by asking about values and aspirations: "What matters most to you, and why?" and then, more directly, "What are your career aspirations?" Not that Stanford is entirely focused on ideals; they also give applicants a choice among four other essay options, one of which inquires about experience on a high-performing team. As far as I could tell, Stanford was the only one of the top ten that didn't specify the maximum number of words for their essays. It says something affirmative about the place that they trust applicants to use their own judgment about how much to write.

Sara Lewis sustained a traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident in 1977. Now 58, she's completing a master's degree in speech language pathology through James Madison University's distance learning program. She is also starting a peer support group for other adults with acquired brain injury. The first meeting is on Thursday at Community Brain Injury Services, The Denbigh House, in Newport News.
"I'm trying to come to terms with it," said Lewis, who was diagnosed with "moderate" brain injury from repeated blows to her head from the windshield. "I'm one of the walking wounded. I have various very subtle physical symptoms. I have spasticity with my muscles and central nervous system pain, which is when your skin tingles and burns all the time. No one can see it." She also struggles with executive function as a result of the frontal lobe injury she sustained. It causes occasional impulsivity and poor judgment and she is easily frustrated.
"It's so difficult and so confusing. You think you're crazy," she said. "Support groups are so needed to help people with awareness of their deficits." They're a way to let people know that it's not them, but their injury and that it's all right to ask for help, she added.
Lewis has been a longtime member of a support group that meets in Gloucester, but has long wanted to start a group in her hometown of Williamsburg. However, in order to reach more people, her group will start by meeting at The Denbigh House in Newport News. "I'm ready, I have so much more knowledge now," she said, referencing her speech pathology studies which were prompted by her father's stroke in 2009. She recognized some of his struggles with certain thinking and word retrieval as similar to her own and turned to college courses to learn more.
Now, as a self-professed "senior" survivor, she aims to share strategies that will help with attention, memory, problem-solving and other cognitive communication tasks.
Alex Watson, program coordinator at The Denbigh House, expects about 20 people at the first meeting. She emphasizes that it's a peer support and networking group. "We want to get as much feedback as possible. It's about what the survivors want," she said. Participants will determine the most convenient time to meet and what topics will be covered.
The nonprofit Community Brain Injury Services also hosts a cognitive communications group facilitated by a Riverside professional in the afternoon of the fourth Wednesday every month. "There may be some overlap," said Watson. "It's also for brain injury survivors but it concentrates on resources and has a different speaker at each meeting." On the third Wednesday of the month, from 6 to 7 p.m., the organization has a family support group for caregivers.
Brain injury support group
What: Williamsburg/Newport News Brain Injury Survivors Support Group
When: First meeting is 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 20; subsequently every third Thursday of the month
Where: Community Brain Injury Services, The Denbigh House, 12725 McManus Blvd., Newport News.
Who: Adults with acquired brain injury due to trauma, stroke, etc.; family and friends welcome.
Information: Sara Lewis, group coordinator, 757-784-0344, firstname.lastname@example.com; for information about other programs at Community Brain Injury Services, The Denbigh House, contact Alex Watson, 757-833-7845.

Yes, there's a "flag" to be raised when a note is left. :-)

Photographer's Note
Denmark was for many centuries a seafaring nation. The best known Danish sailors are possibly the Vikings. When Denmark was christianised as early as in 926, the vikings were still there, and for many centuries a great number of the men would be away to sea a lot of the time. For this reason, it is tradition that a model of a ship is suspended from the ceiling in practically every church in the country. This symbol should both remind of those away and protect them by bringing a replica of their vessel into the house of God. The paintings in the background are the famous medieval renderings of stories from the bible. As sermons were held in Latin until the reformation, these illustrations (so-to-speak the television of the early middle ages) were probaly a welcome distraction to the churchgoers of the period. As most of them couldn't read either, this was a good way to make the stories from the Holy Book available to eveyone.
I have resized, auto-enhanced and sharpened with PSP.

With cameras rolling on a major television network, to be announced later next week, we asked StacyK, "What's all the drama behind the stage of these glitzy pageants, and does it have anything to do with the excitement taking place on stage for the judges?" She laughed and then avoided our question by saying, "What happens behind the scenes is just a part of the business. Competition is always a balance between seeing yourself in the mirror, and knowing without looking in the mirror: are you at your best?"
Austin, Texas, is the home of the Universal Royalty State Pageant®, well known in the pageant industry for appearances on TLC's Toddlers & Tiaras™, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, and many other shows. Universal is not a stranger to the "glitz" business. The national pageant will take place Saturday, August 5, at the Holiday Inn, East Ben White Boulevard, in Austin, Texas. The Ultimate Grand Supreme Winner will win $10,000 cash,andthe 0-5 and 6 and up age group divisions, and the Grand Supreme, are guaranteed a $1,000 onstage prize.
In looking at Stacy Snapp-Killian's background, she seems to have a lot of insight when it comes to understanding the pageant world. Her career as a hairstylist began in 1992. She then went on to work behind the scenes as a stylist for the Miss Arkansas preliminary pageant network and multiple local pageants in the state. But, we also discovered that, from behind the stage to onstage, she has emceed for pageants and eventually made her way to the front of the stage as a judge working the South Texas pageant circuit for over 7 years.
Additional judges announced this week for the Universal Royalty Pageants® are former Toddlers & Tiaras star Eden Wood, who's "momager," Mickie Wood, will also be a judge at the nationals. Universal Royalty Pageants® is well recognized for former television judges known as "The Top Hat Twins" for their colorful suits, dynamic personalities, and matching top hats with a feather.
Annette Hill, founder of Universal Royalty®, says, "Stacy will bring a fresh face to our already recognized panel of judges on television. Throw in her personality, glitz, and glamour, and she will light up the audience.

When my mom and her siblings would talk to or about their mother they would often refer to her as Tere (short for her nickname, Teresa). Their cousins also called their mothers by their (nick)names. Weird that they didn't just call their moms some version of "Mom," right?
Nonetheless, there was someone else that my mother, her siblings, and their cousins called Mamá: their grandmother, Catherine "Edelanive" Mondesi. Though Catherine's actual children were Julio (a.k.a. Papa Gil), Clemintina (a.k.a. Clemina), Fide (real name: Maria Sebastiana), Tere (real name: Maria Anastasia), and Isa (real name: Elizabeth Juana) it was Catherine's grandchildren that knew her so affectionately as Mamá.

Fatherhood is a lifelong calling
Father to four, grandfather to eight and great-grandfather to seven, retired state senator Bernie Fowler doubles as father of Patuxent River recovery.
That Chesapeake tributary rises and ends in Maryland. If we can't clean up the Patuxent, says Fowler, what chance does the Bay stand?
So Bernie waded into the river of his youth, sending ripples that haven't stopped yet. From his determination flow Maryland's two most powerful calls to environmental action.
First, Bernie sued the state and federal government for not living up to the law of the Clean Water Act.
"Can you do that?" asked Roy Dyson, now a state senator from St. Mary's County but a new delegate back in 1977 when Fowler first filed suit. Three counties joined and won the first reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus in water reintroduced to the river by sewage treatment plants.
Three decades later, Bernie, the Patuxent and the Bay were still waiting. Another set of cleanup deadlines — 40 percent reduction in pollutants by 2010 — was about to pass unmet. In 2009, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation asked Bernie to help light a fire under the EPA. Fowler v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was also joined by the Maryland and Virginia watermen's associations.
Again, it got results. First the new president, Barack Obama, issued an executive order pushing federal agencies to get the cleanup done. Then the EPA settled Fowler's lawsuit, agreeing to a long list of programs and actions.
Bernie's second big step was his Patuxent River Wade-In, begun in 1987 when he led a procession into the river. The human effect and the symbolism of that act created a public relations icon unequaled in the four decades since the state-federal agreement to clean up Chesapeake Bay was signed.
Governors, federal and state senators, U.S. representatives, state delegates, county commissioners, EPA and DNR heads, scientists, riverkeepers, school children and citizens all join hands in a human chain forged for change. They wade in until Bernie — dressed in coveralls and white sneakers — can no longer see his feet. A yardstick is fetched, and somebody — the job belongs historically to Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer — measures how many inches up Bernie's pants legs the river rose. The result is graphed as Bernie Fowler's Sneaker Index.
Bernie's Wade-In has been imitated throughout the watershed, written about in National Geographic and filmed for a documentary.
Last week, Bernie's two brainchildren came into conjunction. On June 9, the traditional second Sunday, Bernie led his 26th annual Patuxent River Wade-In. This year's measurement was 34 inches, down an inch from last year after big rains.
Worse news had already come from the Patuxent Riverkeeper and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. Starting with their first report card in 2008, the Patuxent River earned a dismal grade of D–. This year, it rose to a D.
Bernie remains disappointed but not, he says, discouraged in his plea for will, money and action to keep raising pollution standards to keep up with development and population growth.
Good thing he's resilient. Earlier last week, Fowler v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had its own setback.
One of the terms of its settlement was new federal regulations to reduce waste from concentrated livestock and poultry feeding operations, one of the largest sources of pollution in Chesapeake rivers and streams.
There will be no new federal regulations under an amendment now agreed to by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, one of the plaintiffs, and the EPA.
But previous regulations will be enforced.
"The EPA always is trying to backtrack," said Fowler.
He said he worries that the government is reneging on a much-publicized promise to take dramatic steps toward Bay restoration.
"Let's fish or cut bait, darn it," said the 89-year-old Fowler. "I'm not getting any younger."

A key goal of M&A should always be to fill strategic gaps. Yet many companies base primary candidate screening mostly on financials. Instead, the first screen should be whether an acquisition could satisfy a strategic need, such as filling geographic, skill, product or capability gaps. This also helps expand the universe of possible targets by including the acquisition of product lines (instead of entire companies) and/or orphan divisions.
Accenture Strategy uses a value-driven rather than a purely financial approach for identifying and screening acquisition or alliance targets. We design screening criteria to assess whether the deal will fill strategic gaps, and frameworks to identify and quantify the expected value from an acquisition or alliance. We then evaluate and prioritize candidates based on their strategic rationale, synergistic value and the likelihood of getting the deal done.
Key target screening activities we support:
Assessing high-level synergies with potential targets
Identifying and prioritizing candidates
Building business cases and assessing potential value
Preparing for contact with targets
Confirming the approach to the target

"If you're going through
"If you're going through
hell, keep going."
~ Sir Winston Churchill
Grief loss...
So the unthinkable has happened to you! A special loved one has been torn from your life by tragedy, and you are heartbroken. I am so very sorry for your loss, and wish to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Welcome, my friend, to our grief loss recovery website. You have come to the right place for straight answers, practical advice... and hope.
You are in the midst of one of the most painful and trying experiences that a human can possibly endure. No one can know the depths of your pain, and we know that you will never forget this terrible tragedy. Memories of your departed loved one will never leave you, nor should they.
Hope for the future...
I think it may help you to know that grief is a process, a long journey of acceptance and healing. And you can get through it, and come back in time to a happy and productive life. I know it is hard for you to believe right now, but you must hold onto hope, and keep in the back of your mind that things will eventually get better.
You are not alone in this. You probably feel quite overwhelmed and bewildered right now, sort of like you were picked up and placed on a different planet! This grief thing is a surreal new world of uncharted territory for you, and no one gave you a roadmap, did they?
About our website...
My name is Jennie, and I am the editor and webmaster for "Recover From Grief". I am a Registered Nurse with many years practice as an ICU nurse. I have helped and comforted many traumatized families as they began their grief loss experiences.
This website evolved as a result of my interest in and advanced study of grief theory and interventions, with eventual certification as a grief counselor. I too have seen my own share of personal tragedy, and I looked for easier ways to cope with my own grief. Thus was born our site concept of "healing through creative grieving".
There is no "right way" or "wrong way" to grieve... but there are ways to make the whole ordeal more bearable and find successful closure. Grief loss recovery is a long and painful process, but there will be brighter days ahead for you, I promise. Let us help you find them.
Grief loss...
Mental health care professionals agree that one of the most helpful ways to work through mourning is to express your grief, and not hold it in. And your most effective and creative expressions of grief may differ from the next persons.
We present in our website a variety of creative mourning techniques; talking, writing, creating art, music or poetry, or memorializing are all good ways to express your bereavement. Explore our site to find the expressive techniques that feel "just right" for you.
Grief loss...
Most of the grief websites out there today are one of two types: either a "memorial" website, to post a tribute to your beloved (which we will also provide), or "informational", which provide good material, but in "textbook" or "article" format. Neither of these sites gives you a clear, practical plan for dealing with the stresses and uncertainty of grief loss.
We strive to fill that void with this website. Recover-from-grief.com is all about you... your pain and your grief and sorrow. It is designed as a stand-alone workshop. You can pick and choose topics to explore, or progress through the site in the order of the navigation bars on the left. Subjects have been organized in a logical manner, building upon the pages before it.
We are a young website, but already provide all of these great resources:
My hope is that you will come to our website often, and tell other grieving friends and family members about it. And our biggest wish is that you get to the point where you don't need us anymore. Then "pay it forward" by recommending "recover-from-grief.com" to someone else who needs it more.
Curious about this website? Read more About Us here.
Recover-from-grief.com, is not meant to be a "quick fix" or shortcut through grief and sorrow. That is not advisable or healthy. It's a place for you to come when you feel the need. Here you will find many comforting ideas and creative techniques to help you cope and recover from grief loss.
As long as you are moving, changing, creating, expressing, doing something; your grief and sorrow will proceed in a healthy manner.
***By the way, we chose the dove as our site logo because it is the universal symbol for peace... and that's what we hope to help you eventually find.
Once again, our profound sympathy to you in your loss. Ready to begin?
We suggest you start with "YOUR PAIN".
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- On Sept. 15, 1993, with the release of an interagency report, "The National Information Infrastructure, An Agenda for Action," the Clinton administration stated its vision for the then-nascent Internet and provided a road map for how it intended to get there.
Effectively, the administration wed itself, and the American people, to an Internet future much like the one we have today.
In 1993, the Internet was the province almost exclusively of scientists and hobbyists, with only about 2 million users worldwide. U.S. President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore saw huge potential in connecting all of the United States to the Internet.
They believed that a robust Internet would provide immeasurable benefits to the U.S. economy, would create jobs and would improve the provision of critical services to the American public, including education, healthcare, library services, public safety and government information and data.
As importantly, they believed that the Internet could spur needed private-sector investment and innovation in both the underlying infrastructure and in the platforms, applications and services that would ride on that infrastructure.
They were right on all counts.
The vision
"Imagine you had a device that combined a telephone, a TV, a camcorder and a personal computer. No matter where you went or what time it was, your child could see you and talk to you, you could watch a replay of your team's last game, you could browse the latest additions to the library, or you could find the best prices in town on groceries, furniture, clothes -- whatever you needed."
The above paragraph was the opening paragraph of the Agenda for Action -- 20 years ago. It was an eerily accurate vision of a then-distant future. Sometimes having a coherent vision helps propel progress. The administration knew where it wanted to go and knew it needed a plan to drive the progress required to get there.
The plan
The Agenda for Action laid out a series of principles and proposed actions to support them. Virtually all of those principles remain the cornerstones of the United States' domestic and international technology policies today.
The Agenda for Action stated a strong preference for private-sector development and deployment of the Internet. The administration felt it important to state that preference clearly and unequivocally because of fears that the government would attempt to build the Information Superhighway using public dollars.
In light of the U.S. government's efforts at that time to encourage increased investment in our domestic infrastructure and to promote privatization of telecommunications networks abroad, the administration clarified its preference for private-sector investment to build the Internet, supported by tax and regulatory policies that would promote an investment-friendly environment.
The Agenda for Action presaged virtually every major policy debate surrounding the Internet and delineated a comprehensive policy approach that protected the rights of consumers while also providing increased certainty for industry and innovators by calling for the following: extending our historic commitment to universal service to the Internet; seamless, interactive user-driven operation of the Internet; information security and network reliability; improved management of wireless spectrum; protection of Intellectual property rights; and increased coordination with state and local governments and with other nations to ensure that the Internet would be fully global.
Looking back today, President Clinton and Vice President Gore got much right. Their vision for the Internet was realized more quickly and more completely than any of us had any right to expect.
Reading the Agenda for Action today, the administration accurately predicted the power of the Internet to increase access to information and to be a key economic driver. As importantly, the administration provided a forward looking and flexible policy template that would underscore the growth of the internet over the following decades.
The astonishing growth of the Internet in the mid-1990s was driven in large part by the innovation, talent, ingenuity and passion of many in the private sector, principally the Internet pioneers in Silicon Valley and other creative centers, as well as the Internet service providers who built the physical networks.
It is unlikely that the Internet's growth would have been as explosive or that we would have seen as much early acceptance and adoption domestically and internationally without the administration's leadership and use of the bully pulpit to drive policy prescriptions and procurement efforts designed to support and encourage private-sector investment and innovation.
At a time of increased skepticism about the role of government and widespread derision of visionary leaders, it's important to note that sometimes the government and its leaders get it right. The United States and the world is at another inflection point today as wireless technology, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, social networks and data analytics become drivers of economic and societal changes.
Revisiting or restating fundamental policy principles to ensure that they provide an environment that will promote investment while also protecting the rights of consumers would seem to be as necessary today as it was 20 years ago.

Research Interests
My recent research projects include two major projects.
The first project is to explore the mechanism of aberrant HGF expression in human cancers. We mainly focus on (1) Identifying the mutation in human HGF gene and studying the mechanism of the mutation causing HGF aberrant expression in human cancers. (2) Developing a potential genetic marker in the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers in early stage. (3) Exploring the therapeutic strategy in treatment of human cancers that harbor HGF gene mutations.
The second project is: to explore the novel mechanism that Met inhibits caspase-3 and contributes to cell survival. We found a new caspase-3 cleave site (we call it Death Defying Domain, or DDD) on Met, we mainly focus on studying the mechanism how this DDD site inhibits apoptosis and promotes cell survival.
