Bowery to Broadway
The American Irish in Classic Hollywood Cinema
Distributed for University of Scranton Press
Before Johnny Depp and Public Enemies, there was The Public Enemy. James Cagney's 1931 portrayal of the Irish American gangster, Tommy Powers, set the standard for the Hollywood gangster and helped to launch a golden age of Irish American cinema. In the years that followed several of the era's greatest stars, such as Spencer Tracy, Bing Crosby, Pat O'Brien, and Ginger Rogers, assumed Irish American roles—as boxers, entertainers, priests, and working girls—delighting audiences and at the same time providing a fresh perspective of the Irish American experience in America's cities.
With Bowery to Broadway, Christopher Shannon guides readers through a number of classic films from the 1930s and '40s and investigates why films featuring Irish American characters were so popular among American audiences during a period when the Irish were still stereotyped and scorned for their religion. Shannon cites films such as Angels with Dirty Faces, Gentleman Jim, Kitty Foyle, Going My Way, and Yankee Doodle Dandy, arguing that the Irish American characters in the films were presented as inhabitants of an urban village—simultaneously traditional and modern and valuing communal solidarity over individual advancement. As a result, these characters—even those involved in criminal activity—resonated deeply with the countless Americans in search of the communal values that were rapidly being lost to the social dislocation of the Depression and the increasing nationalization of life under the New Deal.

Conclusion: The Suburbs of America
"A fascinating study of Irish-American films. . . . Mr. Shannon shows that these films—some of Hollywood's greatest creations—evoked a distinct world worthy of considered examination."
"Bowery to Broadway makes a major contribution to the study of Irish-American ethnicity. Shannon shows that in films of the 1930s and 1940s—when the Irish were putatively embracing all of modern America's values—the group was not only represented in Hollywood, but also offered a true-to-life alternative to modernity. In the world that Shannon retrieves, the 'local comes first.' He mines both familiar and nearly forgotten films to discern a cinematic tradition in which Irish-American prize-fighters, priests, vaudevillians and working girls lived in a world that countered mainstream assumptions: the urban Irish were skeptical of runaway individualism, unimpressed by the promise of personal liberation, and unapologetically Catholic. The Irish whom we meet in this immensely readable book can no longer be read as stereotypes. Shannon requires us to rethink whether Irish assimilation happened in quite the way we think it did, and sometimes, whether it happened at all. This is an essential book on the Irish in popular culture."
"With this bold challenge to existing writings on Irish-American ethnicity, particularly within the context of theories of assimilation, Shannon explores how Irish-American films and characters of the 1930s and 1940s express a confidence in their hyphenated identities that was rooted in their sense of place. The Irish of the urban village, in Shannon's narrative, refused to assimilate to middle-class American norms; instead they asserted their right to be at once traditional and modern, ethnic and American. Balancing lucid descriptions of the films' plots against an incisive investigation into their positioning within both Hollywood cinema and the socio-historical background of Irish immigrant experience, Shannon has produced a study that will appeal to film historians, cultural theorists and scholars of Irish Studies alike. Bowery to Broadway is a detailed, clearly-written and thoughtfully argued study that is sure to become the standard work on Irish-American representation in the Classic Hollywood period."
"In meticulous detail and with wonderfully accessible prose, Shannon presents accounts of essential, and in some cases not-so-essential, films that represent key elements of Irish-American life. . . . Shannon has staked a claim to a significant area of Film Studies and shown a first-rate ability to engage it."

Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by JCBRAVE, Feb 11, 2013.
cj is probaly at 4.5-4.6 already after losing a step...and thats giving him the benefit of doubt
There is literally no possible way he's slower than 4.40 right now. he's probably just under that. If you think he's running the same speed as most LB's which is like 4.6 or 4.7 then you need to get your head checked.
Ignorant? Can I call you that? That's your name right? I'll just call you Ignorant.
CJ does have stone hands.
Nooo hes still fast. Id say 4.3 range
i'd give obie maybe 4.4 at best but not 4.3 no way
You dont rack off 80, 83, and 94 yard runs with 4.4 speed. Did you see that run he had against Buffalo. the man is a 4.3 at worst.
LOL @ expecting CJ to bench 500. Trent Richardson hit 475 and people made a HUGE deal of it. When he was a UT, Jamal Lewis hit 460 and the coaches wouldn't let him go higher.
Did you see the game where he broke the 80+ yarder and they counted how long it took him to get to the endzone? He was def in the 4.3 range on that run. Looow 4.3 range in pads.
Watch the time on the video. He gets the ball at the 9 seconds and is not at full speed. He's in the endzone by the time the video hits 19 seconds. He didn't run in a straight line and let up at the end of the run.
He starts at the 10 and finishes in the endzone. That's 90 yards, running around another player in pads in 10 seconds while coasting into the endzone.

Royal Caribbean have announced award-winning musical CATS will replace Hairspray on Oasis of the Seas.
After launching in 2009, Oasis of the Seas will have her first uprade in October 2014. During her refurbishment Andrew Lloyd Weber's Broadway musical CATS will be installed onboard and showcased at various times on a one week cruise.
Hairspray has been a huge hit with guests on Oasis of the Seas but due to a high number of repeat guests and the need to keep up with demand, Royal Caribbean will be changing the Broadway theatre option.
CATS is one of the longest running productions on Broadway and has won numerous prestigious awards including seven Tonys, an Olivier and a Grammy.
Lisa Lutoff Perlo, Executive Vice President of Royal Caribbean International said "We are thrilled to be partnering with the Really Useful Group to bring one of the world's most beloved musicals to Oasis of the Seas. Adding CATS to our already amazing line up of Broadway musicals such as Hairspray, Chicago: The Musical, Saturday Night Fever and Mamma Mia exemplify our commitment to bringing top quality entertainment to our guests at no extra cost."
Oasis of the Seas will visit Europe for the first time in October as she goes into dry-dock in Germany before sailing European itineraries from Barcelona and taking a transatlantic cruise back to Fort Lauderdale.

The NYTimes has an article on bartenders using some science tricks. I have a new favorite drink:
For the martini, they blend olive juice, vermouth and gin with xanthan gum and calcium chloride and drop it into a sodium alginate and water solution to form stable olive-shaped blobs. It is served as a lone olive in an empty glass; it reverts to a liquid state when popped into the mouth.

RTAI: Real-Time Application Interface
The real-time task is implemented similarly to RTAI; i.e., it is written and compiled as a kernel module which is loaded into the kernel after the required RTAI core module(s) has been loaded. This architecture yields a simple and easily maintained system that allows dynamic insertion of the desired real-time capabilities and tasks. The example below shows all that is required for a task to be scheduled in real time:
insmod /home/rtai/rtai insmod /home/rtai/modules/rtai_fifo insmod /home/rtai/modules/rtai_sched insmod /path/rt_process
To stop your application and remove the RTAI:
rmmod rt_process rmmod rtai_sched rmmod rtai_fifo rmmod rtaiThe facilities ldmod and remod may be used to load and unload the core modules.
RTAI's task scheduler allows hard real-time, fully preemptive scheduling based on a fixed-priority scheme. All schedules can be managed by timing functions and real-time events such as semaphore acquisition, clocks and timing functions, asynchronous event handlers, and include inter-task synchronization.
RTAI supports both one-shot and periodic timers on Pentium and 486-class CPUs. Although both periodic and one-shot timers are supported, they may not be instantiated simultaneously; i.e., one-shot and periodic tasks may not be loaded into the kernel as modules at the same time.
Using these timers (instantiated by rtai_sched), periodic rates in excess of 90KHz are supported, depending on the CPU, bus speed and chip set performance. On Pentium processors, one-shot task rates in excess of 30KHz are supported (Pentium II, 233 MHz), and on 486 machines, the one-shot implementation provides rates of about 10KHz, all while retaining enough spare CPU time to service the standard Linux kernel.
The limitation of rtai_sched to support simultaneously one-shot and periodic timers is mitigated by the MultiUniProcessor (MUP) real-time scheduler (rtai_mups), which provides the capability to use, simultaneously, both a periodic and a one-shot timer or two periodic timers with different periods, at a performance equivalent to that noted above under rtai_sched. Note that, since the MUP uses the APIC (advanced programmable interrupt controller) timer, it cannot operate under SMP and requires each MUP-scheduled task to be locked to a specific CPU (thus the MultiUniProcessor designation); however, the MUP retains all coordination and IPC services, so that no other capabilities are lost.
Floating-point operations within real-time tasks/ISRs (interrupt service routines) are possible, provided these tasks are marked, upon loading, as tasks which require the FPU. This method provides real-time task access to the FPU while still allowing FPU access to standard Linux tasks.
RTAI provides efficient and immediate access to the hardware by allowing, if one chooses, interaction directly with the low-level PC hardware, without first passing through the interrupt management layers of the standard Linux kernel.
The ability to individually assign specific IRQs to specific CPUs, as described in further detail below, allows immediate, responsive and guaranteed interface times to the hardware.
The term inter-process communication (IPC) describes different ways of message passing between active processes or tasks, and also describes numerous forms of synchronization for the data transfer.
Linux provides standard system V IPC in the form of shared memory, FIFOs, semaphores, mutexes, conditional variables and pipes which can be used by standard user processes to transfer and share data. Although these Linux IPC mechanisms are not available to do real-time tasks, RTAI provides an additional set of IPC mechanisms which include shared memory, message queues, real-time FIFOs, mutexes, semaphores and conditional variables. These are used to transfer and share data between tasks and processes in both the real-time and Linux user-space domains.
RTAI's remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism is similar in operation to QNX messages available to real-time tasks, and transfers either an unsigned integer or a pointer to the destination task(s).
The RTAI mailbox implementation provides the ability to send any message from user space to real-time tasks, real-time tasks to real-time tasks, and user tasks to user tasks (using LXRT) via any definable mailbox buffer size. Multiple senders and receivers are allowed, where each is serviced according to its priority.

I love deer heart fired or grilled I also grind it with my burger. And don't leave the liver for the scavengers either.
The thought of eating deer heart is enough to turn some people green, but really they're the ones missing out.
Many hunters, while following the steps of field dressing game animals, remove all the organs and throw them aside, but they're missing out on one of the best tasting muscles on the animal.
The deer heart is just another muscle, in fact, it's hard to find a better cut of meat. It's really good for you, and tastes amazing.
The video below shows you how to prepare and cook deer heart 2 different ways. You can make deer heart jerky, which Eric makes in the beginning of the video, or deep fried in your favorite batter. Both are delicious!

Those in the know are saying that tonight will be bye-bye to someone big in Congress. This could be interesting.
And the evidence of the Left's power will be seen when nothing happens, and everyone soon forgets about it because complaining became futile.
This will certainly reveal whether Pelosi and Co really does have a black list of secrets she blackmails her fellow Congress critters over. She'll be needing that for this in a major way.
Like an old-fashioned Chinese Menu…pick one from column A, pick one from column B and get a free get-out-of-jail fortune cookie.
Andrew Breitbart calls for Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL) to resign from Congress in light of revelations that the Chair of the House Financial Services Committee personally profited by shorting financial stocks after being briefed on the impending financial crisis in 2008. The revelations were made public in Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer's new book, "Throw Them All Out," and was broadcast on CBS News' 60 Minutes this evening.
Former Speaker of the House–and current Minority Leader–Nancy Pelosi apparently bought $1 million to $5 million of Visa stock in one of the most sought-after and profitable initial public offerings (IPO) in American history, thwarted serious credit card reform for two years, and then watched her investment skyrocket 203%.
Time for term limits. Past time. Sorry, DQ, I want every single one of these sons of bitches gone – all of them, sweep the board. Hillary can hand out "reset" buttons, because it is damned well time for a national reset.
And while I carry no water for "60 Minutes," the idea that any one of these bastards thinks they don't have to tell us what gives, don't have to answer questions, and don't owe us – their goddam employers! – any explanations, well… time to start kicking asses around the block. We could begin with the Bird-brain of Alcatraz, who has needed her ass kicked around the block for years.
Why the hell we tolerate offal like this for years I do not begin to understand.
Mike Devx
I used to be against term limits and balanced budget amendments.
I am now 99% in favor of a balanced budget amendment, and currently sitting at about75% on term limits.
Keep it up, Congresscritter assholes, and term limits is gonna go a 100% gusher right through the top of my skull soon.
Time for term limits.
Ditto and no limits on the term of incarceration for them.
I'd read them the riot act, but I know it would go through three dozen committees, get watered down to pretty please stop and some finger pointing. In the meantime, we've all flipping them the bird and they have been thumbing their noses at us.
Mike Devx
Just seen this morning in a political article:
Conservatives gave Republicans control of the U.S. House with the understanding those Republicans would stop President Obama's agenda in its tracks and begin laying the groundwork for repealing it come 2013. But now, when it comes to spending, some lawmakers seem unwilling to even try. According to Roll Call, "Republican leadership sources" now "concede there is not much left in the domestic discretionary spending pot to cut."
If such a quote really came from Republican leadership in Congress… if that is their consensus, then it truly is time for a third party. We (the USA) are doomed if we stick with the GOP and cannot purge the leadership.
Old Buckeye
Amen Mike Devx on the 3rd party option. The GOP keeps calling me for a handout and I keep telling them they are not acting conservatively enough for me to give them a dime. What really fries my fritters about the pass that Congress is allowed for insider trading is that people like Martha Stewart were made to serve time for less egregious offenses. It's past time for term limits. They've all been handed the keys to the kingdom and we peasants have been paying the price.
Mike Devx
If GOP leadership *meant to say* that the American people are not yet committed to discretionary spending cuts, then I could agree with them: To go against the American people and severely slash what they do NOT want slashed, is a recipe for political (voting) disaster.
But the statement, as it stands now, is worse. It is surrender; giving up on cutting the size and power of government. It suggests that the current size and power of the national government is perfectly fine! I cannot accept that in any way.
Duchess of Austin
I used to think term limits was the answer but if you think about it….limiting the terms of the actual *elected* politicians will end up concentrating the power in the hands of the *unelected* career bureaucrats that work for them. Congresscritters don't actually write legislation anymore…if they ever did. The legislation is written by their staffs, consisting of unelected people who don't lose their jobs when the elected guy loses his latest election.
How do you think they had Obamacare up and running in no time flat? It was already mostly written and waiting for elective action. We need to just do it the Roman way and decimate (every 10th government employee fired) the government employees who are not military, and do it again every 3 to 5 years.
Eliminating a few cabinet departments would be a good idea too. Energy and Education to start, with a review of the constitutionality of all others.
Every day…more shock and awe:
That bridge you cross when you come to it, Duchess. In the meantime, I'll settle for never having to look at Henry Waxman's nostrils again; never having to listen to Barney Fwank spitting and drooling all over some interviewer; never having to wonder how come whoever castrated Harry Reid didn't just go ahead and kill the son-of-a-bitch; never having to expend energy wondering if Shelia Jackson Leigh really is the dumbest person in North America – with the possible exception of Patty Murray; and we can all stop wasting energy in speculation about what planet Pelosi's really from.
I don't know the career civil servants well enough to despise them. Yet. One step at a time.
I think the Left has already gained control of the upper echelons of the Republican party given recent events. Everybody else just isn't aware of that yet. Like most people aren't aware of the Left's evil. They don't think in big enough terms for one thing.
4 years ago, it was hard to tell because of Bush and the war. The Republicans were more leery about stepping outside the pack, for fear patriotism and pro-Bush sentiments would put them in the pit. Now it is much easier to tell, with McCain's failed bid for President, who is or isn't on our side. From my analysis, there is too much collusion between Republicans and Democrats. Not as much as in Chicago, but much more than might be expected if the Republican party was as pure as people say it is.
The Left has gained such power and influence that they can even March Through the Institutions of their political rivals, without anyone noticing.
Let's have term limits to be rid of career politicians, though it doesn't work so well in California where the termed out merely run for a different office or get themselves appointed to something – anything – until they can run for their old office again.
Last week, Bill Clinton was making noises about not limiting a President to two consecutive terms only, suggesting that a former two-timer should be allowed into office after a respectable period which, I suppose, to him would have been four years. The current two terms prevented Clinton's return from the dead, but so too Reagan; a sword the cuts both ways.
Term limits inevitably let the voters off the hook for doing what we know to be the right thing every two, four, and six years which is to vote the bums out – except my guy who is the only good, decent, and public-minded civil servant ever elected to the various viper dens.
Also, return to the old spoils system to get rid of career bureaucrats, a system which has the additional benefit that, in the end, we all know exactly who is to blame for whatever good or ill befalls the country – can't blame Party R if all the officers and bureaucrats are Party D and vice versa. Besides, it's what we do anyway for the leadership offices.
Republican Democracy is such a damned messy thing that can cause a body to wish for an old fashioned benevolent dictatorship because those have always succeeded so well.
Mike Devx
> That bridge you cross when you come to it, Duchess.
I agree with jj.
In fact, in Tea Party mode, you would then elect congressional candidates who *promise* to bring in their own (reduced) bureaucratic staff. I don't think congressional staffs are guaranteed independent civil servant jobs. I believe you only have that kind of shenanigan (er, protection against nepotism) in the Executive Branch – eg, the State Department; and perhaps in the Judicial Branch.
If two elected terms is good enough for the president, wouldn't twelve years (six elected terms for the House, and two elected terms for the Senate) be enough? Heck, that would give certain effective politicians 24 years of "service" in Congress, if they still wanted to try to make a career out of it.
You could argue that this removes choices from the people.
Well, so would a balanced budget amendment, and I am now *strongly* in favor of one. The Founding Fathers instituted a wide variety of checks and balances into our system. They did worry about the growth of a corrupt and tyrannical national government, but I don't think they worried enough about it. We need a few more checks built into the national government. Amendments to cover term limits and a balanced budget would certainly help curtail the errors we've seen develop over the last 150 years.
Suek, obviously no one asked the Taiwanese what they thought their country's destiny should be. But that's the usual ftastic morality and ethics of the Left at work.
If people think government exists to allow them choices, they better think again and relearn civics.

Next Gen iPhone Coming to Singapore on 21 September
We just got information from reliable sources that point to a possible launch of the next Apple iPhone (presumable iPhone 5) in Singapore on 21st September.
The date coincides with what iMore and Jim Dalrymple of The Loop reported earlier - the first wave of iPhone launches will take place on 21st September. The information comes from sources that have provided HardwareZone with accurate launch dates in the past, which include the local launches of the iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S III.
Note that at the point of publication, none of the telcos could be contacted for a comment (and we bet they can't anyway). Stay tuned for more updates as we try to wrangle out more information in time to come.

PyScript is a python module for
producing high quality postscript graphics. Rather than use a GUI to
draw a picture, the picture is programmed using python and the
PyScript objects.
Some of the key features are:
The program is beta quality and under active development. That said,
it is also being used for publications, so it's quite useful even at
this stage.
Most of the development and testing has been on a Linux platform,
however, it should run on Windows under the CygWin package, and it's
run sucessfully on MacOS X, but that's pretty much Linux anyway.

When I try to write a file to an NFS (amd) mount I get a permission denied error and file gets truncated to zero bytes .
Reading works, of course.
The error sequence is -
I save the file I get the error message I quickly do an ls -l and the file size looks fine I do another ls and the file is 0 bytes.
The nfs server is an auspex, running a variant of solaris I think.
Hmm, I think a fix for something along these lines (i.e. files being truncated etc) was committed in FreeBSD, you might wanna read their CVS logs. If I get time in this week, I will look at it.

They make it to the moon, some 100 floors later, and the elevator music that plays is nothing like Jonghyun's
AN: This ficlet was completely inspired by 차가운 여름밤 by Oh Ji-Eun. I suggest listening to it, like, right now! (click the link to download it). Actually, I had Jo Sung Mo's cover of Fly Me to the Moon stuck in my head too. The setting of this fic is somewhat futuristic, I suppose. I was picturing huge skyscrapers and those crazy-ass neon signs you see in movies like Bladerunner, know what I mean? Don't have anything else to say really, except that this is sort of weird. Haha ~ enjoy. ^^
fly me to the moon;
The open air hits his face while he walks, airplanes cheating sound as they stream across the dark sky, only visible by their flashing red lights; little mobile satellites with passengers going to a whole new world - a universe he is not a part of. His cell phone rings and he forgets the count of sidewalk cracks he's stepped over, stops the clanking sound his fingertips create as they drag against the chain-link fence. He breathes out cold air and everything stills for a split second - everything except for his cell phone - a call to come back to reality, to live, to exist, to be somebody. Reluctantly, he answers.
The voice over the phone is cheerful and completely unlike his own - it's soft and calming. "Hey Key," he hears the drone of heavy bass cutting off his friend's voice, making it hard to understand him. "Where are you? We've been waiting."
"Have you?" mutters Key, not intending to be heard. "Sorry." he adds, though he doesn't mean it, and knows that Jonghyun knows he doesn't. There is a sigh on the other line. Distantly, Key thinks he recognizes the clock tower bells ringing; realizes it's in his head, because where he is is not quite the world everybody else communicates on. At least not right now.
"I don't know about the others, but I'm always waiting for you. Just - so you know." says Jonghyun.
"Hyung," Key frowns. "Go have fun."
"But you were so excited about this." This: the music sounding unreal through miles of distance, yet somehow heard in a device he can understand but doesn't want to understand; rather the sound of a girl singing on the corner, singing into her own phone to someone who is listening, smiling, and being something he just cannot be. Not right now.
"Key?" Jonghyun's voice is tinting on distressed, or desperate. Key isn't sure he knows anymore, not even with his best friend. "Where are you?"
"I'm outside the airport." Key replies amiably, giving in. "It's... nice here."
"Watching the satellites again?" Jonghyun teases, the background noise considerably dimming. Key figures he's gone outside the club for a smoke.
"Smoking again?" Key queries, voicing his thoughts - no, voice in his thoughts.
"You know I quit four months ago. I won't destroy my voice."
"I still." Key pauses, sighs out, "Worry."
"Then let me worry about you, huh." Jonghyun shoots back, but the smile is apparent in his voice. Key lets his back hit the fence, watching car lights stream towards him then fade past, the reflection of the city a world all its own on the wet asphalt; he wishes he could fall in and live the mirrored life, peering up at reality, smiling, never wanting back in.
"Stay on the line with me for a bit, okay?" Jonghyun fills the quiet gap with his strong voice, not really asking, not really stating, either.
"Don't bother with me, Jjong. I'm not in the mood."
"Look," Jonghyun says this softly, but his point reaches. He sighs and decides that the point doesn't need to be said aloud. They both know, anyway. "I think it'll be all right, no matter what."
Key smiles small and tight, straining. They both have come to learn that neither know what they're talking about, but they completely understand each other. Somehow. Key doesn't answer, just replies. "I'll stay on the line for five minutes."
"Then I have to rush, don't I?" says Jonghyun. "Do you want me to sing you an elevator song while you wait?"
"Only the kind that plays when you're going down." Key chuckles into the phone, repeating an old inside joke.
"Hmm," Jonghyun hums. "I think I can manage that."
He sings a song about letting go, and over the breath and ambient noise, Key thinks he hears the clock tower going off, striking midnight finally, but he's by the clock tower, and it's echoing -
Jonghyun's singing fades off. "Yeah?"
"Where are you?"
"Can't you see me?"
Key looks up and Jonghyun is waving from across the street, the last toll of the bell sinking into the dim but never really dark night - city lights, city air that has it's own song. The smell of rain, laughter traveling for miles. Jonghyun jogs across the street, hanging up as he goes.
"Hey," he says, "I came to get you."
"You've got me," Key pockets his phone. "now what?"
"Well, once you get someone, don't you take them somewhere?"
Key tips his face slightly, black hair spilling over his eyes. "Take me to the moon. I really want to go, lately."
Jonghyun follows Key's gaze and looks up at the smoggy sky, where a glow that could be the moon, or maybe a far away sign on a skyscraper, one can't tell, sits proudly in the sky. "How do you even know the moon still exists?"
"I just have to hope it does."
Jonghyun snorts, a playful look gracing his features. "C'mon then, let's figure it out." he grabs Key and pulls him back across the street, back into the city.
"How do you expect to get there? Especially this late." Key can't help but ask. Around Jonghyun anything seems possible, it's all a game he can always win. It feels like Neverland - like home. The warmth of Jonghyun's hand in his grounds him solidly, mentally, and as the breeze skirts around both of them he realizes: he has been caught, and all this time, Jonghyun has been waiting.
They make it to the moon, some 100 floors later, and the elevator music that plays is nothing like Jonghyun's; the chilly air is filled with less oxygen so high up, and the huge glowing sign represents a soft drink, a make up brand put on by a celebrity, neon gas always changing. It's an immobile satellite, this moon.
"Everything seems clearer up here, doesn't it?" Jonghyun mumbles, leaning over the railing. It feels like they are above the clouds, in touch with the stars - they are really just tiny pin pricks in black construction paper, a bright heaven just behind them, waiting to be discovered.
Key inhales deeply, letting everything rush through him. "It's higher than the clock tower."
"Maybe it's past time, then." Jonghyun replies lamely. Key rolls his eyes at him. The silence that follows is necessary and companionable; comfortable.
"Jjong," Key speaks up, voice quiet as they listen to the sound of breaks slamming hundreds of yards below them.
"You don't have to wait anymore."
It's a code that passes between them as an inseverable link; so many years as best friends and that is what they'll remain, forever as long as the knot twining them lasts and settles warmly in two places, connection streaming from hands that remain together, a satisfying sense of touch.
The echo of sirens down, down below them go unheard and uncared for; a part of human life, just like finding this. Just, this. Whatever it is.
Jonghyun smiles. "It's about time."

My partner and I have been curious about sex magic and although I have found some interesting information on the subject, I was wondering if any one could give insight into the more ritual aspects of it? and maybe a bit more on the subject itself, I'll admit to being ignorant on the magic portion of the deed. I know it can be filtered into forms of creation magic and general connectedness but I guess I still don't quite get the whole spectrum of it. If anyone can speak from experience (with more on the experience as a whole or ritual nature rather than details) it would help a lot,
Thank you =]

It was the bleakest day of the New Zealanders' tour to date. Their attack leader, Tim Southee, hobbled off for a scan on his left foot, and their bowling was treated with increasing disdain by the England Lions, who hit 96 more runs from the 22 overs bowled in the morning before the rain came.
Southee will not bowl on Sunday, when the second new ball is at hand, but his team-mates probably will.
Joe Root has taken his first-class aggregate for this season to 610, his fourth innings has yet to be terminated, and he will no doubt be reminded that the duty of the Lions captain is to keep opponents in the field and deny them batting practice.
Trent Boult took the two wickets to fall, bowling downhill and swinging the old ball copiously into right-handers when he pitched it up, before he tired and dropped short.
The nightwatchman, Chris Wright, poked to second slip, then Boult surprised James Taylor with a lifter that took his outside edge.
Fortunately for the New Zealanders, after Southee had gone off, Doug Bracewell bowled his right-arm fast-medium just as well, or better, as he swung the ball more.
Bracewell, 22, has taken 46 Test wickets at an average of 31, whereas Southee, 24, has taken 71 wickets at 36.
The tourists might even play four seamers if Thursday is cloudy and Southee fit. Otherwise, an attack of Boult, Bracewell, Neil Wagner and Bruce Martin would be steady and disciplined.
"We'll hopefully go into tomorrow and score some more runs," said Bairstow, who is running into form after his fallow winter scoring 45 from only 53 balls.
When Martin tossed a ball up, it sailed downwind for six after a flick of Bairstow's wrists.
"It's a pleasure to be batting with him," Bairstow added about the Lions captain, who made 143 from 223 balls, before saying that Root was 13, and himself 14, when they first played together.
Bairstow recalled his last Test at Lord's, against South Africa last August, when he made 95 in a masterpiece of defence and a brilliant 54 in attack.
"I've fond memories of that game but that's a long time ago now," he said.
Kevin Pietersen, meanwhile, rebuffed a report that he would return to playing for Surrey in mid-June, ahead of the schedule which the England management expected.
"This is news to me," he tweeted. "Wish the public weren't misled by such rubbish."

It's that time of year again, when getting sick can keep you down. This isn't just folklore. Research shows that flu outbreaks peak from December through March, with February having the highest number of occurrences. So with this in mind, here are 10 foods that can help bolster your immune system — along with explanations of why they do it.
Half a cup of broccoli contains 85 percent of your Daily Value (DV) of vitamin C, which helps the immune system stay in top working order due its involvement with white blood cells.
A good rule of thumb is to include at least one source of vitamin C–rich food in your daily diet. Other sources include red and green peppers, oranges, tomatoes and potatoes. See the full list.
This orange favorite is an excellent source of vitamin A, containing 184 percent of your DV per 1/2 cup. When the body doesn't get enough vitamin A, immunity suffers and the risk of infection increases.
Just like with vitamin C, make sure foods with vitamin A make a daily showing. Other good sources include butternut squash, sweet potatoes, peppers and pumpkin. See the full list.
Fermented dairy products like yogurt contain live and active cultures of healthy bacteria called probiotics, which help maintain a healthy gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Because the GI tract is the biggest organ involved in the immune system, it plays defense against harmful bacteria and toxins.
The goal is to fill the GI tract with healthy bacteria to inch out the unhealthy bacteria. So include yogurt for breakfast or a snack, add kefir to smoothies, eat sauerkraut at dinner and try some miso soup (which contains fermented soybean).
Another way to increase the good bacteria in your GI tract is to give them food. Bananas are a source of prebiotics, a nondigestable food that increases the growth of beneficial bacteria because it is a source of fuel for them.
So look for ways to eat bananas and other sources of prebiotics like onions, garlic, asparagus, whole wheat, oatmeal, legumes, barley and rye.
Vitamin E is found in nuts and seeds, with the best sources including sunflower seeds, almonds and hazelnuts. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from free-radical damage.
If you can't eat (or don't like) nuts, try avocado, wheat germ and vegetable oils. See the full list.
Salmon is one of the few foods that is a good source of vitamin D, with 112 percent of your DV per 3-ounce serving. Cells in your immune system contain vitamin D receptors, and when levels drop too low, your defenses can suffer.
While vitamin D sources like salmon, milk and eggs are helpful, the sun remains the best source. Most people need to take additional vitamin D during winter months to meet the 600IU recommended daily allowance.
A 3-ounce serving of beef contains 47 percent of your DV for zinc, a trace mineral that keeps immune cells functioning at full capacity. When the body is low in zinc, the body's ability to fight infections deteriorates. (But too much zinc isn't good, either!) And because it can't be stored by the body, daily sources of zinc are necessary.
Other good sources include poultry, beans, dairy products and certain types of seafood and nuts. See the full list.
Not only are grapes delicious, but they contain polyphenols, which are phytonutrients found in the grapes' skin that protect the grapes from harm. While more research is needed, emerging evidence suggests that grapes and grape juice may help bolster the immune system.
Other sources of polyphenols include wine, onions, blueberries and certain nuts.
For centuries, garlic has been praised for its healing power. Today, we know garlic has many benefits, including its antimicrobial properties. One study showed that people who took garlic supplements for 12 weeks had far fewer colds than those who took a placebo pill.
Since the 12th century, chicken soup has been used to ease symptoms of the flu. A 2000 study published in Chest Journal showed that chicken soup does have an anti-inflammatory effect: It keeps neutrophils in white blood cells from migrating.

Located off the service road on the north side of PTH No. 1A in Portage la Prairie, 2729 Saskatchewan Avenue West offers a land area of 5.34 acres with 2 buildings on the property. The building has a front area of ~3,544 SF that was previously used as a retail showroom format with vinyl tile flooring, drywall finished walls & ceiling, and a forced air geothermal heating & cooling system. On the main floor is 1 regular and 1 handicap washroom. There are 6 main floor offices and 5 mezzanine offices all with windows. A large kitchen/staff room is also on the mezzanine. The warehouse area (~5,520 SF) has a drywall finish on the exterior walls, a metal liner ceiling with flourescent lights, and 3 large overhead grade level doors. A geothermal heat system with 270L assisted electric hot water tank appears to be in the floor slab of the retail showroom. Water service is from a well system. The lot is compacted gravel and is surrounded by a 6 foot chain link fence.

I would say that "If software of class X is distributed sometimes burned into hardware, then Debian distributing other software of class X would not have a significant impact upon the rights of our users". As far as freedom is concerned, both types are equivilently bad. The choice is either: 1) Distribute the non-free firmware. Our users are happy. 2) Don't distribute the non-free firmware. Our users either download the non-free firmware from elsewhere (bad) or replace their hardware with parts that have the non-free firmware in flash (worse - no improvement in freedom, and we've made them waste money and material) When people actually get around to a decent "Free firmware" campaign, then I think we'll have a stronger argument for not distributing firmware. At the moment, the non-freeness of firmware isn't something that seems to bother most people (even if they're passionate about free software). -- Matthew Garrett | firstname.lastname@example.com

The fee is limited by law and generally is only 25% of the lump sum check for past due benefits or $6000, whichever is less. Please note that this amount refers only to Social Security Cases. There is never a fee from your monthly check and never a fee unless we win. The fee is deducted before a check is cut for the claimants' back due benefits. A typical lump sum payment to the claimant for back due benefits would be about $18,000. Then the claimant gets a monthly payment, usually for the rest of their life, in addition to other benefits.
A Veterans Benefits claim fee is limited to 20% of all past due benefits.
A Tramatic Servicemembers Group Life Insurance claim fee is limited to 25% of all past due benefits.
In most all cases there are no costs and expenses the client has to pay. An example would be if we have to pay a physician to render a report or testify- this is very rare.
Disclaimers: The Missouri Supreme Court Rules say I have to do this. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements. Past results afford no guarantee of future results-every case is different and must be judged on its own merits.

Neither the Supreme Court of Missouri nor The Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialist designations. Also, the information on this website is not legal advice.

Let's start at the beginning, the "well-off", sweet, sheltered Ginger McHuid is celebrating her 12th birthday but before she goes home to eat her cake she has a tradition to keep with her best friends - Josiah Woodman and Cain Wolfram. Though Josiah and Cain are 3 years older than Ginger they have been together all of their childhood, the boys being cousins who were born to twin sisters making them closer, more like siblings. Yet they couldn't be more different - while Sophie, Josiah's mother, married well (both for love and money) and so brought up Woodman as the perfect gentleman often welcomed into Ginger's house. Sarah, Cain's mother, found herself married to "the help" - an Austrian horseman who came to work in the prestige ranch of Ginger's family. Sarah and Klaus never really worked out, so while fighting with each other they kind of forgot their son who very quickly became as naughty as they get and found himself more in trouble than not (and naturally not approved by Ginger's mother at their house).
On that 12th birthday Cain and Woodman share a very meaningful moment in which Woodman claims to love Ginger even now and planning to marrying her when they are older. At that moment, Cain didn't feel he was giving too much, but not very long after he realized that, like Woodman he also loves young Ginger and yet he knows Woodman is the better man, in general and for Ginger so he accepts the bargain they made wishing Ginger all the best with the person that can and will make her happy.
But what about young Ginger? well, though she loves both cousins, she just recently realized she doesn't love them the same way. While Woodman was always her best friend, Cain is the one who makes her heart soar.
The one thing I somehow forgot to mention up until now - This is a modern time fairytale - telling us a different kind of story for "Little Red Riding Hood" with Ginger in the main role caught between the the woodsman (yep, Woodman) and the wolf (clearly, Cain). While in the end we DO get a HEA between two (there's NO menage in here!!) It's never about the best man getting the girl, it's not, because unlike the story we know, the wolf isn't the "villain" and the woodsman isn't necessarily the "savior". Wait, I haven't forgotten there's a grandmother in this one! Kelleyanne (Ginger's grandmother) has a very significant part in this one as well, being Ginger's sole friend and confidant besides the cousins (her parents being self absorbed in their own problems) helping Ginger figure out the "right" choice.
The story captures their growing up journey, alternating POVs of all three of them - Ginger, Woodman and Cain for a little more than 10 years. Two cousins, one girl, loving each other so dearly and yet not always wanting the same or the right thing for themselves or one another. As the story progresses, all three of them get older, the cousins joining the army, returning home, life and it's course isn't what anyone of them expected. Heart ache and loss follows all three even with the best intentions.
The story is long, as I wrote somewhere in the beginning, and not only that, there is a sort of strange pattern to the chapters, each one beginning with a sort of recapturing of the last scene from another person's perspective. So at times we are getting certain interactions twice. First time I read one of those I was confused - hey! I've already read that! - yet, it was so fitting because you can get into a person's head in a very precise way. Each chapter has his or her own speaker and so we get the whole view of who each of the three are, and at what point in time / life they are in. It was meaningful to have more than one perspective because the love triangle and the growing up they had to do wasn't easy. They all made mistakes along the way, they needed to grow up, to go through some heart breaking moments for this book to FINALLY get a HEA. It was so beautiful I was chocked with tears, there was never a dull moment, there was always a sort of progression that even though you cursed it to hell for being wrong HAD to happen and break my heart over and over again.
I can't recommend this book enough, because there are NO words. I can't remember when I've read a book this way, where I was just owed by a book for the WHOLE duration of it, wanting for it to end, for the wrongness and suffering to end and yet it doesn't work that way. As the famous quote from the "Princess Bride" says "Life is pain highness, everyone who says differently is selling something". Considering Cain often calls Ginger "Princess" it's even more fitting..
Grab it NOW, start reading it a moment later. You'll thank me, sure, but you'll mostly thank Katy for this beautiful and crashing experience.
Naturally grab the others in the series (all stand alone) as well ;) But just so you'll know, yeah, THIS ONE is my favorite ;)

The whole independence thing, literature, preservation of Finnish culture, national anthem, and many others thing were done by the swedish speaking minority. This is mainly because they were the upper class, and had time for such pursuits. Now days the wealth of the finlandsvenska is due several generations of successful businessmen.
I have nothing against them, even though my swedish is limited and horrible. Vittuperkele.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – The Annual Stamp Out Hunger Drive will release details Tuesday about their event this year.
It's organized by local letter carriers, to help the Food Bank of Western New York. The actual drive is taking place this Saturday.
You're asked to leave canned goods and other non-perishable foods at your door. Mail carriers will collect them while making their rounds.
Organizers say this year's drive is especially important because the food bank is running low on donated food.

Modest Reductions in Water Consumption Could Reduce City Water Bills by $90 Million Annually
Savings Could Help Retain or Create More than 550 Jobs
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Department of Environmental Protection Acting Commissioner Steven W. Lawitts and Department of Information Technology and Telecommunication Commissioner Paul J. Cosgrave announced today that citywide installation of automated water meter reading technology has begun. The new wireless equipment will end the use of estimated water bills, giving homeowners and small businesses more accurate and timely records of usage - increasing their ability to identify how they can conserve water and reduce water bills. Modest reductions in water consumption could save New Yorkers more than $90 million annually. The savings could support the retention or creation of more than 550 jobs in New York City through increased economic activity from homeowner savings and increased available cash flow for businesses. The program will also provide savings for the City by increasing collection rates and eliminating the expense of paying for meters to be individually read. New York City will be the largest city in the world to use wireless water metering.
"This is another prime example of bringing new technology to City government to improve services - and in this case we will potentially save New Yorkers millions of dollars a year," said Mayor Bloomberg. "The new system will read water meters four times a day instead of four times a year, giving homeowners and small businesses a clearer picture of their water use so they can look for ways to conserve. A modest reduction in water use of just five to ten percent could reduce water bills by $90 million a year across the City."
"This is a more accurate way to read meters and show customers their exact water consumption so they can conserve and more efficiently manage their bill, especially in these uncertain economic times," said DEP Acting Commissioner Lawitts. "We have worked hard to improve customer service, and this technology will ensure that bills are more accurate and will eliminate, with rare exceptions, the need to estimate some bills that are inaccurate and subject to later adjustment and surprises for customers."
"The most effective technology deployments help organizations to transform business processes and improve service delivery to their customers," said DoITT Commissioner Paul J. Cosgrave. "This program does just that for New Yorkers. Transmitting data via the New York City Wireless Network, the City's high-speed wireless backbone, this program is the first in a series of initiatives leveraging this state-of-the-art network on a citywide scale, creating significant cost savings for taxpayers and agencies alike."
The automated meter reading system consists of small, low-power radio transmitters connected to individual water meters that send readings every six hours to a network of rooftop receivers throughout the City. The close monitoring will allow the Department of Environmental Protection to send bills detailing exact usage, eventually on a monthly basis and available on the internet, as opposed to the current estimated bills issued every three months, so ratepayers will pay for exactly what they use each billing cycle. The exact billing will provide ratepayers with the ability to more closely scrutinize their water use and look for ways to conserve. The improved bills will also allow building owners to identify leaks that need repair and often prove costly.
A five percent reduction at residential properties would produce an estimated annual savings of more than $58 million and a 10 percent reduction at commercial properties would produce an estimated annual savings of nearly $33 million.
The new metering system will reduce costs for City government by eliminating the need for a meter reading contract costing the City more than $3 million a year. It will also increase water bill collection rates, as the more accurate bills will lead to fewer disputes and more bills being paid sooner. The City's current collection rate of approximately 88 percent is expected to rise to approximately 98 percent, based on experiences seen in other cities using similar systems and enforcement methods.
The City's PlaNYC long-term sustainability goals will be bolstered through the use of wireless readers by promoting water conservation and providing City government with better data for use in conservation and system planning initiatives.
The meter reading receivers will be part of the New York City Wireless Network, administered by Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. The meter system, developed by Aclara Technology, is a more advanced model of similar systems used in Boston and Washington, D.C. Aclara is performing the installation for New York City. The total cost of the changeover to automated meter reading in New York City is about $250 million.
The free installation for property owners has begun in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens and will begin in Staten Island this summer with installation completed on all 826,000 meters in New York City in 2011.
Property owners will receive a postcard two to four weeks prior to the arrival of installation contractors in their neighborhood. If a property owner is not home when an installation contractor arrives, a door hanger will be left with a number to call to schedule an appointment, which can be made for daytime or evening hours and on weekends as well.
All installation contractors providing door-to-door installations must carry and show photo I.D. cards and badges and are in uniform. To see installation schedules throughout the city and an explanation of the installation process visit www.nyc.gov.

Brain Tumor Research Center
Continuously funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since 1972, the Brain Tumor Research Center (BTRC) at UCSF is internationally recognized as a major research and treatment center for adults and children with tumors of the brain and spinal cord.
The basic science laboratories of the BTRC, in collaboration with the Brain Tumor Center's Clinical Neuro-Oncology Program, emphasize translational research into the biology and behavior of brain tumors - research in which scientists and health care clinicians work in partnership to translate laboratory findings into new or improved forms of clinical therapy.
The BTRC Research LaboratoriesMulti-laboratory Studies
Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE): The BTRC is one of four institutions to have received a SPORE grant for the study of brain tumors by the NCI. SPORE grants are intended to foster interaction between basic and applied scientists, providing them with the flexibility to rapidly test new approaches to the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Program Project Grant: The BTRC has been funded by a program project grant for 32 years. In 2007, BTRC investigators took this program in a new direction by incorporating studies of convection enhanced delivery into the the program's overall focus on neuroimaging.
Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Institute at UCSF: The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation of the United States has granted the BTRC an Institute Award to study central nervous system tumors in children. The grant funds five research projects that focus on pediatric brainstem glioma and medulloblastoma.
Tumor Microenvironment Network: This group is funded by a five-year NIH U54 grant and includes three projects to study the microenvironment of brain tumors and how it relates to invasion and resistance to therapies.
Skull Base and Cerebrovascular Laboratory:
This laboratory provides a surgical simulator and 3-D neuroimaging for
- surgical planning
- development of novel surgical approaches
- optimizing current minimally invasive endoscopic routes to the clivus, infratemporal fossa, foramen magnum, paransal sinuses and intracranial lesions
- web-based instructional teaching tools and a 3-D anatomic teaching guide
