Russia Stocks Rise 2nd Day as ECB Rate-Cut Bets Boost Sberbank
Russian stocks rose for a second day, erasing earlier declines, amid bets the European Central Bank will cut interest rates to fuel growth in the country's biggest trade partner. OAO Sberbank, the nation's biggest lender, advanced.
The Micex Index (INDEXCF) added 0.2 percent to 1,339.91 at the close in Moscow, after falling as much as 1.2 percent. Russian equities have the cheapest valuations on an estimated price basis among 21 emerging markets tracked by Bloomberg. Sberbank jumped 1.5 percent to 96.44 rubles, the most in two weeks.
The 14-day relative strength index for Micex rose to 23.5, still below 30 that signals the gauge is oversold and may be set for a rebound. Euro-area services and factory output shrank for a 15th month in April, according to Markit Economics, fueling expectations the ECB will take action to revive the recession- hit economy.
"Russia is rising, although in a weak way, as the global sentiment improves on expectations of the ECB rate cut," Dmitry Malykhin, who oversees $30 million in Russian assets as chief investment adviser at Moscow-based hedge fund DV Advisers LLC, said today by phone. "Sberbank is definitely gaining on this."
OAO Rostelecom slid 4 percent to 111.36 rubles, the steepest percentage decline on the Micex. Mikhail Prokhorov's Onexim Group said that it may consider buying a stake in the phone operator from Marshall Capital after the fund annulled its deal with Arkady Rotenberg.
Rosneft, TNK-BP
Sberbank has the third-largest weighting on the Micex at 14.4 percent. The shares added 1.8 percent to $12.23 in London, the most since April 8.
VTB Group, Russia's second-biggest lender, added 2.5 percent to 4.55 kopeks, increasing for a third day. VTB's depositary receipts advanced 2.5 percent to $2.845 in London. OAO Lukoil, the second-largest oil producer, rose 2.1 percent to 1,899.10 rubles.
OAO Magnit, the biggest food retailer, dropped 1.8 percent to 6,281.20 rubles. The GDRs retreated 1.3 percent to $48.81.
OAO TNK-BP Holding (TNBP) surged as much as 8 percent before closing 3.3 percent higher at 45.94 rubles. Chief Executive Officer Igor Sechin said today OAO Rosneft is willing to work with TNK-BP Holding's minority investors. Proposals include directing all profit to dividends, Sechin said.
Rosneft's plan not to buy out minority stakes in TNK-BP, to borrow money from it and possibly end its dividend policy sent shares of TNK-BP tumbling the most on record on March 26. Investors including Prosperity Capital Management Ltd., which manages about $4 billion of Russian assets, said Rosneft is putting Russia's reputation at risk.
Norilsk Cut
Crude, Russia's chief export, dropped 0.3 percent to $100.12 per barrel in London. Most metals retreated in London after a preliminary report showed China's manufacturing may be expanding at a slower pace this month.
China's preliminary reading of 50.5 in a Purchasing Managers' Index, a gauge of manufacturing activity that was released by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics, compared with a final reading of 51.6 for March.
OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest producer of the metal, sank 1.3 percent to 4,925 rubles. The stock was cut to underweight, the equivalent of sell, at Morgan Stanley on lower commodity prices, according to a note released today. The GDRs lost 1.6 percent to $15.53.
The S&P GSCI Spot Index of commodities retreated 0.4 percent. The dollar-denominated RTS Index (RTSI$) added 0.4 percent to 1,333.89.
The number of shares traded on the Micex was 8.4 percent above its 30-day average, while the gauge's 10-day price swings rose to 13.27.
The measure trades at 4.9 times its 12-month estimated earnings and has lost 10 percent this year, compared with a 10.1 multiple for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF), which has dropped 4.7 percent in the period.
The RTS Volatility Index, which measures expected swings in stock futures, slipped 3.3 percent to 23.66 after surging 4.8 percent yesterday. The Market Vectors Russia ETF, the largest dedicated Russian exchange-traded fund, lost 0.2 percent to 25.61 today, while the Bloomberg Russia-US Equity Index (RUS14BN) added 0.5 percent to 90.31.

This isn't true for ext3_xattr_list() or ext4_xattr_list(). I tend to think it is not an error to get back an empty list, and applications shouldn't treat it as such. Most applications will check "if (rc < 0)" and treat it as an error. This is different than e.g. requesting a specific value by name (which does return -ENODATA) because it would otherwise be ambiguous whether the xattr existed but had zero size or didn't exist at all.Cheers, Andreas

Reminder: Voting for the March Band of the Month ends at 8:00pm Central Time on Friday April 13. Vote now. The poll is on the sidebar to the left. Here are the details.
Where is the Band of the Week? Due to the holiday, the Band of the Month, a top secret project and general laziness. I made an executive decision to forgo the Band of the Week post for this past week. It's certainly not from lack on great bands. I just wanted to be sure to give the selected band the attention they deserve. Look for a Band of the Week post after the Band of the Month poll closes.
Record Store Day is now just 10 days away. Go here to find the participating location near you. Here in Nashville Grimey's New and Pre-Loved Music has a pretty killer line-up of live music. JEFF the Brotherhood, PUJOL, Langhorne Slim, The Grenadines, Kansas Bible Company and Lovedrug have been announced so far.
To the songs for today:
First up, POP ETC is Morning Benders. Got that? We posted a link to the Morning Benders up top. The first album as POP ETC is due out later this year, but right now, you can grab a free download of a Mixtape from the band's website. The song we have today is from that mixtape and it is called Halfway to Heaven.
After that, we have two rather interesting cover songs.
The first song is a cover of Willie Nelson's Time of the Preacher a track from the Red Headed Stranger album. The cover is by the late, great Johnny Cash from the Twisted Willie tribute album.
Finally, a cover of one of the "lost" songs by the Velvet Underground which was finally released in the mid 80s on VU (which was when I had my mind opened and blown by Lou Reed and company). Foggy Notion is covered by Echo & the Bunnymen on volume 2 of the Heaven & Hell Velvet Underground tribute series. The Heaven & Hell series of albums was compiled as Unpiecing the Jigsaw.

|The Velvet Underground: New York Art
The Velvet Underground is an astonishing assembly of rare objects and artworks and the first book of its scale to document the formative years of the band Time Out magazine named the greatest New York musicians of all time. From never-before-seen photographs of the band's first live show in New York to Andy Warhol's cover and poster designs, Lou Reed's handwritten music and lyrics, underground press clippings and controversial reviews, flyers, handbills, and posters, the materials here comprise a uniquely comprehensive survey of the first rock group ever to transcend the genre and embrace underground popular culture. Including a conversation recorded especially for the book between founding members Lou Reed and John Cale, and contributions from drummer Maureen Tucker, this beautifully illustrated book is the first to present a definitive picture of the band's genesis and development in the extraordinary New York scene of the mid- to late-1960s.

Charles Dickens: Life & Legacy
Past display archive
25 October 2011 - 22 April 2012
Room 24 case display
Charles Dickens
by Herbert Watkins
29 April 1858
Shown alongside Daniel Maclise's portrait of Charles Dickens as the bright young writer, also on view in room 24, this display marks the bicentenary of the author's birth in February 1812 and explores his legendary status as the 'best understood and widely loved writers' of his time. Comprised of prints, drawings, and photographs, the display charts the key aspects of Dickens's life, including his family, friends and influential contemporaries, as well as his American encounters during his tours to the country in 1842 and 1867.
Still revered as the 'most English of story-tellers', Dickens's works continue to define our perception of the Victorian age. The display considers his lasting influence with images of the actors who have portrayed his characters over the years, such as Cecil Beaton's striking view of Martita Hunt as Miss Havisham in David Lean's Great Expectations of 1946. Certain posthumous drawings by Harry Furniss are also presented to reveal how the famous 'Boz' was memorialised by his peers.

text: [[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Dragon-Quest-II-japanese-box-art_5247.jpg]]After the events of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'', the descendant of Erdrick/Loto married Princess Gwaelin/Lora and sailed away from Alefgard. They founded the kingdom of Torland where the couple and their children happily lived out their days. Generations later, chaos broke out with rumors of a powerful evil being emerging from the southern impassible cliffs of the frozen plateau, Rhone. His name was Hargon, an EvilSorcerer bent on world destruction. He chose Moonbrooke Castle to launch his reign of terror.Hargon's army swept in and decimated the castle, its inhabitants, and the King within minutes. A lone, injured guard escaped and walked to the nearby fortress of Midenhall Castle. No sooner had he told the king of Moonbrooke's defeat that he perished. Now as a descendant of Erdrick, The Prince Of Midenhall must venture out to meet his two cousins and stop the evil hand of Hargon. With a larger world and many new monsters (who now travel in groups), the heroes have a much harder and dangerous adventure than their ancestor.From a historical perspective, ''[=DQ2=]'' is an odd duck - while its influence on its ''own'' [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII successor]] is all-encompassing (''every'' major gameplay system, or near-as-dammit, in ''[=DQ3=]'' was designed with consideration from the feedback Chunsoft got concerning ''[=DQ2=]'' and its trouble areas), and while it was in many ways comprehensively superior to [[VideoGame/DragonQuestI its predecessor]], because said successor so thoroughly outclassed ''it'' in turn and went on to become the real cornerstone of the franchise and the wider concept of the JRPG, and because ''[=DQ2=]'' itself still had a lot of rough edges due to its incredibly short development time (barely six goddamn ''months'') and still being somewhat "in the reeds" design-wise as a result of being such an early RPG, it has become the uncomfortable middle child of the Erdrick Trilogy. It is still ''important'', but it is often forgotten in favor of the other two and not played or discussed as often. If it has any enduring claim to [[TropeCodifier Trope Codification]], it is in setting the model for party progression - if a JRPG isn't using the ''[=DQ3=]'' "make and/or swap out the whole party yourself" system, it will instead follow ''[=DQ2=]'''s model of "travel to certain new locations early in the game, some plot happens, gain one new party member each time", and late-game party customization often hybridizes the two.This is reflected in its porting and release history - it did get an {{UsefulNotes/MSX}} port (complete with that salacious picture of Princess Moonbrooke), but that was more or less it until it got ported to the Super Famicom in a package deal with ''[=DQ1=]'', and even then, the porting felt rather perfunctory compared to ''[=DQ1=]'''s improvements (and nothing like the SFC port of ''[=DQ3=]''). It also got Game Boy Color and feature phone versions like its trilogy-mates, but again it was not particularly high-effort for a port. Finally, like the other games, it got a smartphone version in 2014, based on the SFC version but with ''[=DQ3=]''-size sprites... on the unaltered SFC maps, which makes things look oddly scaled. Of these, English speakers got the GBC and smartphone versions, the latter of which remains widely available.----!!Examples:* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The [=iOS=] and Android re-release adds the subtitle ''Luminaries of the Legendary Line''.* AlmostDeadGuy: One Moonbrooke guard escapes the besieged castle, limps all the way to Midenhall, and promptly [[EverythingFades dies]] after delievering the news. Given all the overworld threats, how urgent the message was, and that he's just some castle guard, he easily qualifies as BadassNormal and {{Determinator}}. He doesn't fade in the remix. He just lays there dead. Although the king makes sure he gets a proper burial.* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If, for some reason, you don't find all the keys...worry not! The Princess of Moonbrooke learns the spell of Open which will open any door in the game. It is possible to use this to your advantage, seeing as how it can also open up 3 item slots for you characters. ** Since there are no MP restoring items and only one item that can revive a character, some items can replicate magic spells with no MP cost. The Shield of Strength will cast Healmore on the character who uses it as an item in battle, for example. This lets you save MP from healing and use it for other spells, like buffs/debuffs and Revive. * BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:The Princess of Moonbrooke gets turned into a dog before you meet her, forcing you to find out how to break the curse before you can recruit her.]]* BettingMiniGame: Just a simple lottery, but notable because it was the first such minigame in the series.** It also set the standard for the series' fabulous grand prizes. 25% off everything in stores? Aw yeah.* BossRush: In the VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon, your attempt to scale Hargon's castle to bring down the Big Bad is interrupted by fights with his most powerful servants, Atlas, Bazuzu, and Belial.** To make matters worse, you can't defeat them then leave to save and heal and return. They come back if you exit the dungeon.* TheCameo: The trio of heroes from this game appear as summonable helpers in the arcade game ''Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory'', both supporting the player and their monsters with defensive buffs and finishing their enemies off with Kazapple, also known as Alldain or Thordain -- a spell that didn't exist until ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV''. The Cousins also pop up in ''VideoGame/FortuneStreet'' spinoffs.* CanonName: The English localization of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'' gives the cousins' names as Princeton and Princessa. In ''VideoGame/FortuneStreet'' (at least in Japan), they're known as Cookie (Cannock) and Pudding (Moonbrooke) -- how Toriyama-esque.* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Maybe. An NPC in Midenhall castle is implied to be head over heels for the Prince, and even wanted to confess to him before she knew he was going to go on his quest. She never gets brought up again, so the player never learns if she eventually confesses or not.* ChromaticArrangement: Midenhall wears blue, Cannock wears green, and Moonbrooke wears... [[DependingOnTheArtist varying colors]], actually. The original, ''original'' art (seen above) was obviously meant to be ''pink'' ([[PinkMeansFeminine of course]]), but the sprite in-game was, thanks to NES palette restrictions, white and fairly dark ''purple''. Later depictions have gone all over the place on certain details, but have generally cleaved closer to the original sprite due to fandom mental inertia. Her most recent depiction, in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2_JDMgMGQI 25th anniversary movie]], goes for a white dress, maroon-red hood, and purple ''hair''.* {{Combo}}: The Falcon Sword. For the first time in the series, a character could strike twice in a row. Unfortunately, the Attack buff was only PLUS FIVE (Seven in the remix, but still, whoopdeedoo).[[note]]In comparison, the Sword of Destruction, which is available at the same time, gives more than 11 times the attack buff of the Falcon Sword. Granted the [=SoD=] is cursed, but even comparable level non-cursed equipment is 7 or 8 times more powerful than the Falcon Sword.[[/note]]** In the original, depending on your cash flow, this is Cannock's best weapon, despite being weaker than the Iron Spear's single strike (by 15, sure, but do the math, especially when you factor in critical hits). However, it is REALLY expensive, even with the Gold Card, and you may not even bother once you're rich enough in the final area, [[NintendoHard because you'd have to go through the final area all over again.]]** The point of the Falcon Sword is probably to increase your chances of killing {{Metal Slime}}s and Metal Babbles, since you can only deal ScratchDamage to them regardless of attack power. It essentially doubles your potential damage to them.* {{Curse}}: Hargon really likes his curses. He curses the entire castle of Moonbrooke after its fall, turns [[spoiler:the princess into a dog]], and as the heroes draw closer to his kingdom, [[spoiler:he curses the Prince of Cannock to become bedridden, prompting a side quest to cure him (Remake only. Furthermore, you can beat the final boss without him, hard as it may be)]]. * DependingOnTheArtist: The Princess of Moonbrooke. Technically, Akira Toriyama does both of her designs, but several FanArt depictions have her act in different manners and personalities, depending on whether she has purple or blonde hair.** This is sort of ironic, considering Toriyama created a character in Manga/DragonBall named Launch. Whenever she sneezes, she switches from a Blue Haired Nice Girl to a Blond Haired Evil Woman.** The American box art gives the Princess comparatively {{Stripperific}} attire, showing some leg & a bit of cleavage as opposed to her very modest full gown and headdress that appears in-game and in all other artwork.* TheDragon: Hargon has three: Atlas, Pazuzu, and Belial. Also, [[spoiler:Hargon himself is one for Malroth]].* EvilSorcerer: Hargon.* EvilWeapon: Sword of Destruction[=/=]Demon Sword. Really high attack, but curses the user. There's also other "Evil Gear" in armor.* {{Expy}}: The "classic" version of the Princess of Moonbrooke looks ''suspiciously'' like a palette-swapped version of Manga/{{Nausicaa|OfTheValleyOfTheWind}} with slightly longer hair. This may explain the explicitly blonde redesign that popped up for the SNES remake. (The more recent artwork for the Wii compilation and related material opts for making her hair aggressively ''purple''.)* GetOnTheBoat: The series first. Which lets you explore the world, even returning to Alefgard!* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Malroth (Sidoh in the Japanese version.) In the original NES English translation, at least. Absolutely nothing in the entire game even hinted at his presence aside from a quest item called the Eye of Malroth. In the Japanese version and further English translations, Malroth is revealed to be the demonic god that Hargon worships.** In the SFC/GBC versions, the AlmostDeadGuy does mentions Hargon's master plan is to revive a demon god to destroy the world, but considering any further references to said demon god don't show up until when said demon god appears, it still feels like this trope. * GogglesDoNothing: Oddly enough, both Princes wear goggles as part of their headgear.* HauntedCastle: [[spoiler:Moonbrooke is haunted by the flaming spirits of those slain by Hargon's forces. This includes the King himself. Talking to him after saving the Princess leads to a [[TearJerker rather depressing conversation]].]]* HelloInsertNameHere: The Prince of Midenhall. The Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrooke have their names randomly selected from an internal list. [[spoiler:You can rename them yourself after recruiting them by highlighting the save file and holding Left/Right + A.]]* JackOfAllStats: In this case, it's ''NOT'' the main character who qualifies; it's the Prince of Cannock.* JumpedAtTheCall: The Prince of Midenhall. Even shown literally jumping from his throne to listen to the Moonbrooke guard in the Japanese manual.* JustAKid: Pretty much the Prince of Cannock's reason to his younger sister on why she can't come with your party. Given that the party is only about 16 or so, she can be assumed to be rather young. She likely didn't have any formal training either, which would have made her TheLoad in your group.* LightningBruiser: The Prince of Midenhall; his main weakness is that he can't cast magic.* LuckBasedMission: The final battle with Malroth amounts to whether or not he decides to cast Healall. Unlike Hargon, Pazuzu, and Zarlox/Belial, who will only use it when near death, Malroth can use it at any time and completely at random.* MasterOfIllusion: Hargon.* MythologyGag: Only in Japan. Tonnura (トンヌラ) was one of Cannock's possible names in the Famicom version. Supposedly, the name sounds "odd and stupid" to several Japanese people, which fit how weak the prince was on the FC. It became an in-joke as a "weak and uncool" name (but not "hated"), and popped up in a few later games. It is speculated that Yuji Horii came up with this from Ernest Tonnelat.** Perhaps a western equivalent would be something like "Derp". (The localizers of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'' apparently weren't aware of the joke in the Japanese version and instead call him Prince Princeton of Cannock.)* NintendoHard: Whoever said this game is easy is either a liar or very, ''very'' good at [=RPG=]s. You will need to level grind '''INTENSELY''' this time out, and even when you do, it isn't enough.** Can go beyond NintendoHard to plain unfair. The Gold Batboons/Bat Demons will randomly cast Sacrifice, [[RocksFallEveryoneDies wiping themselves out and taking your whole party with them]]. [[{{Unwinnable}} There's no way to prevent this.]] Yes, that's right. You can get a GameOver ''through no fault of your own''. And they can do this ''in the very first round before you even have a chance to do anything'' if so inclined. At least the Rockbombs in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'' and beyond would wait until you pounded them to near-death.*** Adding to this, in the NES version, the run option wouldn't always be effective in Rhone Plateau (even if all characters are maxed out in levels).** The remix is easier, mostly thanks to extra stuff/boosts in the remix, but Rhone Plateau remains pretty hard regardless.* ObviousBeta: YujiHorii once admitted in an interview that nothing after the Moon Fragment Cave was play-tested; there simply wasn't enough time.* PermanentlyMissableContent: If you have a completely full inventory when you come across the Silver Key, do NOT decline to drop one of your items to make room for it, or else the chest holding the key will disappear. The "Open" spell keeps this from being a GameBreakingBug, but it does mean a lot of extra grinding before you can open silver doors.* PrincessesPreferPink: The Princess of Moonbrooke, though again, it is a rather dark shade.* ProlongedPrologue: One of the earliest examples - starting a new game in the original [=Famicom/NES=] version results in watching an unskippable 10-minute scene depicting the backstory before Midenhall gets to do anything. The detail of the SoleSurvivor of Moonbrooke walking all the way to Midenhall feels like excessive {{Padding}}.* PuppyLove: In Leftwyne, you will find a boy and a girl. Talk to the girl and she will complain that you are interrupting a lovers' tryst.* RareRandomDrop: From the NES version: The Dragon Potion, an item which allows you save your game anywhere (even the interior of a dungeon or tower) [[labelnote:note]]but it only saves gold and character levels, on reload you appear at the last place you physically saved at.[[/labelnote]]. It is a rare drop from ''Metal Babbles'', provided you can find them and kill them. Multiple times.* RegionalBonus: For those who played this on the Japanese MSX cart, they got an extra scene of the Princess of Moonbrooke in a "Dangerous Swimsuit". And yes, this is what ''VideoGame/LaMulana'' was referencing.* RetiredBadass: The messenger didn't go to Midenhall to get the prince to help. He wanted ''THE KING''. Unfortunately, the two kingdoms have probably been out of touch for a while, as Midenhall's king notes that he's a bit too old to be adventuring about. Have at it, my boy.** He officially retires as the Prince of Midenhall gets his AwesomeMomentOfCrowning in the finale. Not a bad boost from your "parting gift" at the start.** {{Justified|Trope}}, considering that he is a descendent of Loto/Erdrick along with his royal counterparts in the other kingdoms.* ReligionOfEvil: The Shadowtime cult that Hargon leads.* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The party, of course.* SequelDifficultySpike: If you thought the first game was hard, oh boy...* SerialEscalation: True in some senses, but in others not as prominent as Enix ''wanted'' people to believe, back in the day. The world map, in particular, was an example - the game world was often touted as being "four times as large" as ''[=DQ1=]'' and as including the all of the first map as a mere "part" of the bigger overworld... but this was achieved by shrinking Alefgard's landmass and removing most of its content. Only Tantegel, Charlock, and the South Rimuldar Temple can be visited[[note]]well, okay, you ''can'' also visit the Rimuldar Tunnel, but it's the saddest, most pointless little cave in the whole game[[/note]], and the Alefgard landmass itself is less than half the size it used to be. In real terms, the game ''is'' bigger than ''[=DQ1=]'', but not four times - it's not even twice the size, and is still one of the shorter ''DQ'' games.* SmashMook: The Cyclops, the Gigantes, and (if you count bosses) the Atlas. These enemies do one thing only and do it well; smash your party into goo with a club.* SinsOfOurFathers: Subverted. The Dragon Lords's grandson chooses to not antagonize Erdrick's grandson and helps him instead.* SquishyWizard: The Princess of Moonbrooke. The Prince of Cannock also has elements of this early on, but [[JackOfAllStats grows out of it eventually]].* TakingYouWithMe: The Prince of Cannock eventually learns the Sacrifice spell. As he's also the only member capable of ''reviving'' others with his magic in the original version, this is a last-ditch tactic. Unfortunately, certain RandomEncounters can also cast this for a TotalPartyKill...* TookALevelInBadass: The Prince of Cannock. In the NES, his best gear was roughly The Prince of Midenhall's early to middle-game gear, and due to everyone only having TWO non-HP/MP stats, he could die A LOT if you weren't careful. He was upgraded notably in the I+II Remix. The Princess of Moonbrooke also qualifies, but to a far lesser extent.** This is taken to RuleOfFunny levels in FanArt based off his NES days. He's often waking up or sleeping in his coffin, or just dead.* TotalPartyKill: The Gold Batboons and their equivalents in the remakes are a late game random encounter enemy that can cast the spell Sacrifice. They rarely cast it, but if they do, your entire party will be instantly killed no matter what. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. The enemy technically dies too, but even if the last enemy casts it and the whole field on both sides is wiped out as a result, you still lose.* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: If you look closely at the surprisingly beautiful front box art of the American version, it shows a mural of [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Malroth]] behind [[EvilSorcerer Hargon]] atop the alter.* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Averted: all three of them are immediate cousins.* UselessUsefulSpell: Averted with prejudice. If you don't utilize your arsenal of debuffs, you'll spend a lot of time dead. There's several brute force spells, but they are much more expensive to cast and aren't always a OHKO, meaning the enemy is still hitting you. Having both spellcasters repeatedly debuff while your hero kills the enemy party one by one is actually a pretty good tactic in the late game.* VillainOpeningScene: In a sense; the game opens with a ''long'' sequence depicting the attack on Moonbrooke.** The scene was added in the North American version. It [[CanonImmigrant became canon]] in the remakes, with new music. (The US NES version simply used the battle theme.)* WithThisHerring: In order to ensure your journey is a successful one, the King bestows upon you... a Copper Sword and 50 gold. Thanks, Dad. Don't worry about the items and gold locked in the treasury; someone [[spoiler:who loved dogs]] took the only key far away.** To be fair, it IS more than you get in the first game, and the Copper Sword is stronger than a few other weapons. Heck, the Prince of Cannock only had a club. Also, none of the nations are technically implied to be "rich", just in charge.----

Goodbye.. - Poem by Rick Adriolo
All those times you blamed me
For the things i didnt do
All those times you came to me
To talk our problems through
I must take the chance to end this all
I lost control, I took the fall
I've been lost and so confused
Felt ignored and abused
Every time I did something nice
I somehow do you wrong
You make sick with your lies
I try my best to be strong
So hard this hurts
This piece of paper with a few words
Written with blood, ink and one tear
Written for the one that does not care
I don't know just what went wrong
You kept on thinking I was strong
But I was weak, my soul was dying
And in the end, I stopped trying
I would cry and die inside
Nothing was good enough
Though I really tried
The one thing thats needed was love
To fix this life already lost
To go back the road that I crossed
Now the shame will be forever hidden
In the tragedy of something you wish I didn't

April 19, 2004
Norwegian And Carnival's Commitment of $200 Million In Port Charges, Along With City's Investment Of $150 Million, Will Allow New York To Modernize Its West Side Terminal And Create New Cruise Facility In Brooklyn
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today announced agreements with two of the world's largest cruise companies, Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) and Carnival Corporation, that will secure New York City's position as a first-class passenger ship destination. The letters-of-intent signed today with the two cruise lines, which participated in the City's master planning process, call for them to pay the City at least $200 million in port charges through the year 2017 to support the City's investment in improving its facilities. The City is committing an additional $150 million to modernize and renovate the New York Cruise Terminal on Manhattan's West Side, and to create a new berth on the Brooklyn waterfront to meet the growing demand of the booming cruise industry. Previously in January 2004, the City's Economic Development Corporation (EDC) announced a $50 million commitment to make immediate improvements at the west side cruise terminal. Norwegian Cruise Lines President & CEO Colin Veitch, Carnival Vice Chairman & COO Howard Frank, Manhattan Borough President Virginia Fields, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and EDC President Andrew M. Alper joined the Mayor at the New York Cruise Terminal for the announcement.
"New York City has been the world's most exciting port of call for centuries, and with one of the globe's biggest natural harbors, the relationship between the City and the cruise industry has always been strong," said Mayor Bloomberg. "That's why I'm pleased to announce agreements with two of the world's largest cruise lines - Carnival Corporation and Norwegian Cruise Lines - that will further secure New York City's position. Carnival and Norwegian are great corporate citizens, and have worked with us every step of the way to create a Master Plan for the industry. These unique agreements represent the cruise industry's confidence in the growth of this market, which accounted for more than 3,300 jobs and almost $600 million in economic activity this year alone. There's no question that New York City's cruise industry is embarking on a fantastic new course, and the result will be new jobs, new economic activity and the redefinition of New York City as a first-class passenger ship destination."
As part of the agreements, the cruise lines agreed to bring at least 13 million passengers to New York City through 2017. In return, the City has committed to an ambitious redevelopment plan and giving each line preferential berths on specific piers. In addition, the City is offering the cruise lines incentives in the form of fee reductions in exchange for volume and revenue guarantees, along with providing incentives to promote growth beyond current projections.
"We are extremely pleased with this new agreement as it enables Norwegian Cruise Lines, as the pioneers of year round cruising from New York on Norwegian Dawn, to continue to grow our strong presence in the Big Apple," said NCL President & CEO Veitch. "New York City will be Norwegian's number one home port in the mainland United States, where we will offer cruises to Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Canada, New England and Bermuda - and the City's only year round ship. We are impressed by the City's commitment to the cruise industry, which recognizes the industry's significant economic impact on New York."
"This agreement represents a historic new beginning for New York's cruise industry," said Carnival Vice-chairman & COO Frank. "Not only will the West Side piers see the first renovation and rehabilitation in decades but the Brooklyn waterfront will soon become a destination for the finest cruise ships in the world. This announcement reflects months of hard work, strategic negotiations and a commitment from both sides to strengthen the tourism industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars for the City's economy. It is good news for the stevedore, the New York purveyor, the hotel bellcap and every guest who looks forward to coming to New York so that they may sail on these magnificent vessels. New York City will be the hub of Carnival Corporation's northeast operations now and for the future. This is always where we wanted to be and are delighted to partner with New York City to make this happen."
The Master Plan created by EDC, in consultation with Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, calls for the creation of four modern cruise ship berths over the next four years, with an additional expansion in the following ten years. It recommends that all new facilities accommodate larger ships by installing modern adjustable gangways and expanded pier aprons to load and unload passengers and supplies with greater speed, comfort and efficiency. New terminals will segregate embarking and disembarking passengers onto separate levels, allowing for more efficient use of space and reducing congestion caused by passengers arriving and departing at the same time.
The Passenger Ship Terminal, renamed the New York Cruise Terminal, and the Brooklyn facility will have enhanced security measures, new passenger drop-off areas and increased parking facilities. Improvements at the New York Cruise Terminal will also include a pedestrian bridge across the West Side Highway to relieve congestion outside the facility, and once the renovations are complete in 2009, it will be able to accommodate three large cruise ships.
"The cruise ship industry is a growth industry, which makes this announcement all the more important," said Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields. "This is welcome news and soon we will welcome the ships, the visitors, the jobs and the revenue to Manhattan."
To determine the best location for a cruise ship berth in Brooklyn, EDC has been conducting navigation and traffic studies on the Brooklyn waterfront's Piers 7 and 12, which are controlled by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The City will continue to work closely with the Port Authority to identify a mutually acceptable business arrangement to facilitate the development of the new terminal.
"This is tremendous news and I want to thank Mayor Bloomberg and the City's Economic Development Corporation for believing in Brooklyn's future as the cruise ship capital of the East Coast," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. "I am so pleased that Brooklynites and other cruise passengers from the metropolitan area will now be able to easily embark for the Caribbean, Canada or England right from Brooklyn, and I am confident that Brooklyn will soon become a top port of call for tourists from around the globe."
Bigger ships, new marketing practices and new routes from New York City are driving the extraordinary growth of the cruise industry. Cruise ships once built to carry a few hundred people are now being designed for more than 3,000. The number of passengers coming through the New York Cruise Terminal reached almost 900,000 in 2003, up from an average of 400,000 in the 1990s. That could climb to 1.5 million passengers by 2017. EDC recently completed an economic impact assessment on the City's cruise operations that identified more than 3,300 jobs serving the industry in 2004, with total economic activity of about $600 million, which is expected to rise to $1.2 billion by 2014.
"Our cruise terminal has not kept pace with the incredible growth of the industry in the past decade," said EDC President Alper. "That is now changing – to keep New York City's cruise industry thriving, we must invest in its expansion by improving our facilities so that we can take advantage of the industry's continued growth and increase jobs for all New Yorkers."
"Expanding the cruise line industry is a crucial investment in New York City's tourism infrastructure, and I applaud Mayor Bloomberg for his leadership and support of the city's $21 billion tourism industry," said NYC & Company President & CEO Cristyne L. Nicholas. "With modernized facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York City can effectively compete for an increased share of this rapidly growing visitor market."
The New York Cruise Terminal is located between West 47th and 53rd Streets along the Hudson River and includes Piers 88, 90 and 92. Built between 1932-35 and renovated by the Port Authority in the early 1970s, the terminal is also used for trade shows. Each of the terminal's three finger piers is about 1,000 feet long and 125 feet wide. The facility has not undergone a major renovation since the 1970s, although the City spends millions of dollars each year to stabilize the piles supporting the piers and to perform emergency repairs.
The City has already started upgrading the New York Cruise Terminal to help relieve congestion during this year's cruise season. These improvements include the establishment of taxi stands across the West Side Highway, new elevators and escalators, redesigned interior spaces and life/safety enhancements.

Eat breakfast at the horseshoe counter facing the open kitchen of Cafe at the Plaza, the classic diner that was renovated last year. The refresh also brought in chef Karen Bell, who owned a California-style eatery in Madrid before returning to her hometown. Dishes incorporate fresh produce from Braise RSA (essentially a CSA for restaurants); try the scrambled eggs with Lake Michigancaught trout ($8.95).
Head to Honeypie for made-from-scratch Midwestern comfort food like a perfectly flaky chicken-and-biscuit pie ($12) served in a ceramic crock. The two-year-old neighborhood café is vegetarian-friendlydespite the meat-centric grub, in-house butcher, and trio of stuffed deer heads on a wallwith many dishes available in a vegan version using greens from urban farm Sweet Water Organics.
Take farm-to-table dining to the next level at Roots, where the menu showcases root vegetables harvested by chef-owner John Raymond at a plot he leases 25 minutes away (he also runs a hydroponic farm in the basement of his house). If weather permits, enjoy pre-dinner drinks on the patio overlooking the city and its namesake river, then order entrees like the maple-glazed veggies, served with cornbread and local leeks in a sweet potato purée ($20).

text: [I'm not subscribed to -policy, please respect M-F-t or Cc me] Hi all, early this year, some guidelines for the handling of orig.tar.gz files for Debian packages were discussed on debian-devel (http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/01/msg01796.html). I have tried to write together what seemed to be a consensus on that, and submitted it as a wishlist bug (#278524) to the Developer's Reference. A new version of the added section, 6.1, is available (slightly updated compared to the original patch) at http://people.debian.org/~frank/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html There are some points, however, that are unclear, or where no consensus was achieved. I would be glad to receive some feedback on the following points: 1. Should this be included in the Developer's Reference, or shouldn't (parts of) it rather be included in Debian Policy? If you think it should be in Policy, would it be appropriate to include it in the Developer's Reference as long as Policy is frozen pre-sarge? The main discussion on the list back then was about reasons for repackaging, namely whether the need to add or change binary files is a reason to create a new orig.tar.gz file. In the new section 6.1.3, I have tried to summarise the different possibilities mentioned without giving one of them preference. However, this is inconsistent with the following sentence in 6.1.2 that I adopted from Henning for the description of "repackaged upstream source": ,---- | A repackaged .orig.tar.gz [...] must not contain any file that does not | come from the upstream author(s), or whose contents has been changed by | you. `---- This poses the following questions: 2. Do you think that - although alternative methods exist - a binary file may be changed or added by creating a new orig.tar.gz file? Or do you think this must be done by adding a uuencode'd file (or similar) in diff.gz? 3. If you think a binary change is a reason for a new orig.tar.gz, do you think the sentence cited above should get an exception for binary files, or should it rather be dropped or rephrased completely? [Note also the footnote the sentence has] 4. What is the right place to document the changes made to the orig.tar.gz file? Some possible places would be - the get-orig-source target in debian/rules (see Policy 4.8) - a README.Debian-source in the debian directory (i.e. in the diff.gz) - a README.Debian-source file added to the orig.tar.gz Personally, I think that the last possibility should be a requirement. The main reason is that I think that our archive should be a good source for Free Software even when one does not want to use the Debian Operating System (and indeed we provide lots of mirrors for software with no or only a couple of mirrors). It would be annoying if one had to download the diff.gz just in order to learn what was changed in the orig.tar.gz file. Having the get-orig-source target is nice, but there might be cases where this is impractical. One final question: I'd like to have a footnote at the beginning of the new 6.1.3, explaining a simple case where it is necessary to add or change a binary file. I can imagine several, but I'd like to have one that can be explained in one or two short sentences without lengthy discussions about DFSG-freeness or non-automated generation of pdf files or whatever. Suggestions? Thanks for reading, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Linn Energy Inc and Citizen Energy II, LLC have agreed to form a joint oil and gas venture to develop 140,000 acres in Oklahoma, with the newly-created company expected to list early next year, according to a statement on Wednesday.
The venture known as Roan Resources will be provided land by the two companies, on an equal basis, in an area which stretches across the SCOOP, STACK and Merge oil-rich shale formations in south and central Oklahoma.
By forming the venture, Linn and Citizen aim to accelerate the development of the largely-contiguous acreage, with production reaching more than 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by the end of the year, double the output as of May 2017, the statement said.
Technology improvements allow companies to drill sideways over a longer distance, meaning oil and gas producers have been seeking out ways to acquire adjacent land to boost production from single oil wells.
EQT Corp said last week it had agreed to buy fellow Appalachian gas and oil firm Rice Energy for $6.7 billion, a transaction that would make it the largest U.S. natural gas producer. One of its main rationales was Rice's complementary acreage.
Roan Resources is planning an initial public offering in early 2018, subject to market conditions, the statement added.
Linn itself only returned to the public market in February, having reformed itself during a Chapter 11 process caused by the slump in oil prices from a peak in mid-2014.
It has since sold a number of assets designated as not core to its strategic plan to help raise cash to fund new opportunities, including to Jonah Energy and Denbury Resources.
Tulsa-based Citizen is focused on developing oil and gas reserves in the Anadarko basin in Oklahoma. It is backed by investment firm JVL Advisors, run by former Morgan Stanley banker John Lovoi.
Jefferies and Citigroup were the respective financial advisers to Linn and Citizen, with Latham & Watkins and Thompson & Knight their respective legal advisers.

The GOP took the first step toward "repeal and replace", passing a modified version of the AHCA on a narrow party-line vote.
The thing is … I can't really hit you with a lot of details about the bill because the GOP — which spent years promising transparency in law-making — passed a bill that no one had read, that had no CBO score and, up to the last minute, had provisions slipping in and out (including a provision exempting Congress from the bill). After promising that all bills would be posted three days before passage, they crammed this through with little to no debate (or thought).
We do know that it will cut taxes, allow states to remove provisions protecting people with pre-existing conditions and allow states to remove provisions on even employer-based plans. While it will create "high risk pools" for people with pre-existing conditions, the $8 billion funding will not go far and people with pre-existing conditions could face premiums of tens of thousands a year. The entire market is going to be shaken up but no one really knows how.
Look, I'm not going to sing the praises of Obamacare. Insurers are pulling out to the extent that Iowa will basically not have Obamacare. The ACA defines pre-existed condition so broadly that basically everyone has a pre-existed condition, including assault victims and women who've had C-sections.
But passing a bill in haste with no information is not the solution. It's not what Democrats did with Obamacare; it's worse. I'm disgusted by the whole thing.

Q&A with President Pastides on Leadership Dialogue
This year's Leadership Dialogue will feature a conversation between University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides and Freedom Rider Diane Nash. We caught up with Pastides to ask him a few questions about the program.
What was the original impetus for starting the Leadership Dialogue?
We often think of the university years as a time for self-discovery. This is true. Part of this discovery is realizing and developing leadership skills. The Leadership Dialogue is tied to our Leadership Initiative – to inspire and prepare all of our students to make a positive difference – locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. The President's Leadership Dialogue, now in its third year, exposes our students to remarkable individuals who found the courage to lead during extraordinarytimes.
What do you hope comes out of this year's Leadership Dialogue?
Diane Nash has a powerful, motivating story. She was the same age as most of our students when she participated in sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Nashville, protested in Rock Hill and coordinated the Freedom Rides through Alabama. Even though she was young, she understood the power and strength of leadership and conviction. I hope our students understand that leaders come in all ages, sizes, genders and ethnicities. I want them to see that active leadership can quite literally change the world. And I hope they understand the relationship between commitment to change and service leadership.
This year, we have seen evidence of leadership from USC's past with the brave students who desegregated the university back in 1963. What do you see as the university's leadership role going forward?
The anniversary event on Sept. 11 was inspiring for all in attendance. I agree with James Solomon's wise remarks when he said that he was proud of the progress that had been made in American society but that much work still needs to be done. As president of South Carolina's flagship university, I am committed to access and affordable higher education for all South Carolinians. I believe that a liberal arts education creates thinkers, problem-solvers and leaders much like Henrie Monteith Treadwell, Robert Anderson, James Solomon and Diane Nash. Consequently, we have to be sure that our doors are open, our university is welcoming and that our tuition is affordable. We also need to ensure that we provide the tools necessary to create thoughtful, innovative and globally minded leaders.
Diane Nash was part of that landmark Civil Rights movement that brought greater equality to Southern life. What do you think she can teach our students about personal leadership?
She will surely teach us that sometimes leadership requires exceptional strength, vision and fortitude. I am sure that Diane Nash will also teach us that anger, in this instance about segregation and inequality, can be channeled into positive action that achieves significant results. She will teach us that there are times when giving in or giving up is not an option. And she will teach us about consequences. She knew that the Freedom Riders were facing violence and possibly death, yet, together, they were willing to face these odds for a better future. I hope that she teaches us how to draw from our own deep wells of strength, courage and compassion to serve a greater good.
What other leadership initiatives or efforts will we see in the coming year?
For the first time, undergraduates now have the opportunity to leave Carolina with a new distinction: Graduation with Leadership. It will be noted on each participant's transcript that he or she has fulfilled stringent requirements in one of four targeted pathways of leadership: community service, global learning, professional and civic engagement and research.
If you are going
USC President Harris Pastides and Freedom Rider Diane Nash will discuss leadership, civic engagement and the importance of every person in the 2014 Leadership Dialogue. The event starts at 7 p.m., Tuesday (Feb. 25) in the Law School Auditorium, 701 South Main St., and is free and open to the public.

- Saturday, November 28, 2015 - From Print Edition
JAKARTA: The trendy cafe looks like a typical coffee shop in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, but in fact it sells herb-infused brews promising to fix every ailment from coughs to impotence.
Indonesians have for generations taken herbal medicine, known locally as "jamu", as a remedy for common ailments, and many children's early memories include being forced to gulp down concoctions of ingredients such as ginger and turmeric.
Now entrepreneurs have fused the age-old love of tonics made from the archipelago's vast selection of herbs with the younger generation's desire for a fashionable setting, and come up with beverages that focus on modern-day problems.
And as demand for alternative medicines grows from the Middle East to Africa, Indonesian jamu manufacturers hope the country can use its expertise in the sector to become a major player in the global herbal medicine industry.
A resurgence in domestic popularity is being driven by hangouts such as the Jakarta cafe, which welcomes young professionals and students to a retro setting that mixes old-fashioned furniture with touches of the past, such as black and white prints and vintage bicycles.
"Potent!" exclaims the menu, which features a picture of a beaming man wearing a traditionally patterned cap and a smart suit as he promotes a "stamina-boosting aphrodisiac", named the Ginseng Prakoso Plus.
Next to him is a picture of a woman with her hair meticulously styled into a bun, offering a drink called the "Tight Cavity", which aims to help improve a couple's sex life after a woman has given birth.
Other brews at the cafe, named "It's a long time such we had jamu", tantalisingly promise to "keep husbands at home" and "wives always smiling".
The cafe, which opened two years ago, also offers a range of lighter, more palatable jamu, such as drinks made from the herb rosella to recharge the immune system, turmeric to boost stamina, and ginger to fight colds and coughs.
"Initially the bitter taste put me off, but I have grown accustomed to it," said graphic designer Io Woo, 23, who gets her particular amu fix at the cafe three to four times a month.
"It's less dreadful to consume it with friends here, where it's cosy and comfortable."
It is not just hipster cafes seeking to breathe new life into jamu. Traditional healer Retno Widati has since 2011 been teaching people seeking to open their own businesses how to make jamu ice cream from green beans, rice and galangal, a herb related to ginger common in Indonesia.
"Young people are not taking jamu as often as in the old days, they fear the bitter taste," she said, adding her aim was to re-introduce it to people in a "more modern form".
The "jamu movement" has some high-profile supporters, notably Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who reportedly starts his day with a glass of boiled turmeric and ginger.
The government has thrown its support behind the industry, which currently employs 15 million people and boasts more than 1,000 manufacturers, including some listed on the Jakarta stock exchange.

The Nucleation Point of Craft Beer By David Bardallis COMING HOMES : By David Bardallis Owner Tommy Kennedy and head brewer Nick Panchamé in HOMES Brewery's sour beer cellar. PHOTO BY DAVID BARDALLIS South Main St. DRSTOCKPHOTO.COM & HANS GRANHEIM W hat is the measure of a "good beer city"? Is it the number of breweries in and around town? The consistent high quality and drinkability of the beers made there? The general avail-ability and choice of fine brews? Certainly all of these things are important yardsticks when determining whether a particular town is wor-thy of becoming a "beercation" destination. But there's an additional, less tangible factor that is at least as important: a city's overall beer culture. By that admittedly trickier-to-quantify standard, Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a beer city par excellence. A quick tour through this Midwestern college town's quietly influ-ential brewing past, present, and potential future provides ample evidence. It Always Starts with Germans Today, Ann Arbor (population 119,000) boasts 10 breweries within city limits, as well as at least seven bars with 40 or more taps and countless other venues overflowing with good See Ann Arbor p. 4 New Brewery Aims to Make Ann Arbor a Destination ike many thirtysomethings, Tommy Kennedy wondered what was next for him in life. He had a family and a career he enjoyed, but somehow some-thing seemed missing. That something was… beer. So two years ago, on his 34th birthday, he decided to do what anyone in his position would do: open a brewery. The dream offi-cially became a reality in April of this year when HOMES Brewery – named for what Brewing News readers will recognize as the mnemonic device for remembering the names of the Great Lakes – opened its doors on Ann Arbor's west side, becoming the eighth brew-ery within city limits. The goal was to serve a dozen or so taps of different styles, with a focus on "super-fruity, hop-forward, very tropical and citrusy" beers. The reality has been a struggle to keep much more than six on, owing to an immedi-ate huge demand. "It's been pretty nuts, even though we've been intentional in not overtly spreading the word, wanting it to be an organic buzz," says Kennedy. "We didn't shout 'we're open' from the rooftops, but people in the community have really jumped on what we're doing and become advocates for us. It's kept us really busy out of the gates in a way we never imag-ined." "We've been moving through a lot of beer, but part of it is also the way we brew," See HOMES p. 7 The Bookstore Mural is an outdoor mural by Richard Wolk located on the corner of Liberty Street and State Street.

Allie's baseball glove and the poems written on it.
Our teacher gave us a question to think about:
How does Allie's baseball glove and the poems on it (or even Allie himself) support the thesis that Holden's mission in the novel is to preserve the innocence of children?
- print Print
- list Cite
On a simpler level, the fact that Holden has kept this baseball glove with him as a remembrance of Allie suggests his protective nature on a physical level and also points out how he values Allie's memory more than any other current relationship, etc.
Given the way that Holden refers to Allie and the contrast between that and the way he refers to all of his friends or acquaintances, basically anyone alive except for Phoebe, it is clear that he has an idealized view of the innocence of childhood and the baseball glove serves as a physical symbol of that feeling.
Holden himself struggles with his own loss of innocence as a maturing, adolescent male. He identifies intensely with children as he moves through his own personal journey in 1950's New York. We understand slowly throughout the novel that Allie "had the potential" to become a great writer just like his older brother D.B. But, unlike D.B. he might never have gone off to California to "prostitute" his writing. Allie had the possibility of becoming better than D.B. and even better than Holden himself. Both Allie and Phoebe demonstrate writing ability to a certain extent, Allie with his poems and Phoebe with her stories written under the name of Hazel Weatherfield. Holden loves everything about Phoebe, her stories, her taste in music and movies, and even her skating. She represents true innocence. She even takes the blame for him when his mother smells his cigarette smoke in Phoebe's room.
He places both his younger siblings on a pedestal and idealizes their behavior and motivations. We can see in Phoebe a true devotion and even a longing to be around her big brother. She has no qualms about packing a bag and going off with Holden when she suspects he may be running away. She offers him all of her money without hesitation and even keeps the broken pieces of the record he accidently broke. These things touch Holden and reinforce his idea that children are perfect in their innocence. The longer they can be protected, the longer they can exist in this state of innocence.
He does, however, feel very guilty about his relationship with his younger brother. He remembers times when Allie wanted to tag along and he told him no. He beats himself up over these memories to the point where he reveals he broke all the windows in the garage. He feels he has failed Allie in some fundamental way and this failure could be a profound source for his own angst and disappointment with the world around him. He writes Stradleter's composition about the mitt and becomes incensed when he faces criticism about the essay. He's still very protective of the memory of his brother.
The only things that get through to him on his personal journey seem to be when he hears the little boy's "Catcher" song. It cheers him up when nothing else will but the obscene words written in places where children might read them bring him right back down. When Phoebe reaches for the brass ring at the end of the novel, she is reaching for "adult" things that might get her hurt. Holden realizes this and mourns for loss of that innocence for her if she should actually catch the ring or if she should fall while trying to obtain it.
Allie's glove symbolizes love and empathy in the novel. Holden has trouble sympathizing with others and fitting in. Allie was the one person Holden could truly identify with and care for. When Allie died, Holden punched out the windows until his hand turned bloody. He can't even make a proper first because of that. Holden is still very much grieving for Allie and carries Allie's glove around as a sentimental reminder.
Children are some of the few people that Holden does not consider phony. Naturally, he wants to preserve anything that is not phony.
Heres a thought to ponder: Allie's glove has poetry on it right? Holden deeply cares about Allie and is affected greatly by him and his death. Alllie's glove with poetry on it connects to holden wanting to preserve inncoence by "catching" kids falling from a cliff. He gets this from poetry of " "catcher" in the rye". Connection between Allies glove and "catcher" poetry?
I think so

Angelina Jolie Back (from the dead) For Wanted 2
- By
- 41 Comments
Coventry Telegraph is reporting that Angelina Jolie will be back – apparently from the dead – for Wanted 2. That's right, in order for Wanted 2 to have a snowball's chance in hell, somebody has cut Angelina Jolie a big enough check to return as "Fox" for another go at a half-decent movie based on a half-decent graphic novel.
All this "official news" comes our way by means of Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov, who was interviewed recently by Russian news site RIA Novosti about the upcoming sequel, and took the opportunity to drop the news about Angelina's involvement, plus a few other gems like what locations the film will shoot in and which other characters may return for the sequel. We've got your links to the full interview below.
If you can read Russian then go here, if not, go here.
If you can't tell by now, I wasn't the biggest fan of Wanted. Somebody gave me the graphic novel for Christmas one year, thinking I'd like it… And it was all right. Saw the trailer the for movie… It was all right. When the studio moved the film into a summer slot I thought, "Must be a good sign."
And then I saw it.
I'm not going to rehash the experience, but let me just say: resurrecting Angelina's character, for whatever reason, is STUPID. It's a ploy, we all know it's a ploy, and damn you Hollywood. Damn you.
Is the ploy going to work? Probably. I don't want it to, I'm not going to support it, but I'll probably be overruled by the masses. Wanted ended up making over 340 million worldwide – no telling what numbers the sequel will do. Creatively speaking, unless it's a complete 180° from the first one I'm not interested – Jolie or no Jolie.
Wanted 2 is slated as a 2011 release.

It was just training so it's not a big deal. It'll probably never happen again.

April 10, 2015: Ed Easley hopes that, if he can be trusted with more than 100 kids ages 6 to 18, he can be trusted with one pitcher. (Ed was called up for the first weekend of the 2015 season.)
Easley runs an offseason baseball camp at his former high school field in Olive Branch, Miss.
"Running that camp [is] really a unique opportunity for me," Easley said. "I've been fortunate to have guys help me who have played pro ball. It has become a big camp."
Easley had never appeared in a big league game.
"We saw last year that he had the opportunity to be a big part of our organization in terms of helping young pitchers develop," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He had a good year for us last year. We like the quiet way he goes about his business." (A Call - MLB.com - April 10. 2015)

Well, I always warmed up the PIO vial in my bra for a while
February 12 2011 at 10:57 AM
Response to
Bruises from PIO while on Baby Asprin
beforehand so it was less viscous and easier to inject. Swab area with alchohol swab, wait a minute before injecting.
Inject steadily and pull out smartly. Immediately after, I would put a warm facecloth over injection site, pressing firmly for a minute or so. (Warm a damp facecloth for a very short time in microwave, but check for heat BEFORE applying!).
Some people use emla (numbing cream) or ice before injecting, but I never bothered and did not bruise.
Lovenox injections are different. Never expel air bubble. Inject at 90 degrees and inject very, very slowly. NEVER rub afterwards or apply anything at all. Again some people ice beforehand but I wouldn't recommend this personally.

Why You Should Let Me Get A BellyButton Piercing
p.s. I started working on this on 11/10/13 at 12:04 AM, I've been working on it since then until now, if that isn't dedication I don't know what it.
p.s.s Isn't Prezi such a lovely upgrade from the power point I made last time?
Please go into this with an open mind.
Other Parents Opinions
Brittni - posted on 09/04/2013
I think you should let her get one. When I was 17, I wanted one reeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy BAD!! (a tattoo also!) But, letting your daughter get a belly ring will let her know that you trust her so that she doesn't show it inappropriately and it will give her a sense of responsibility, for she will have to clean it and maintain it so the ring won't get infected
Jenn - posted on 03/18/2012
My daughter has been bugging me since she was 13, I finally decided to let her for her 15th birthday. She too is a cheerleader and a good student and all around good kid. I really don't see a problem with it, there could be much worse things they want than a naval piercing.
MIss 1st Amendment answered 4 years ago
i must say she has given some quite valid reasons and she sounds like she is pretty good kid and very responsible. I think that you should surprise her for her 16hth birthday. sometimes as parents you have to let go and let your babies grow up....so i Mean there are a lot of young teenagers (16and up) who have their belly buttons pierced and not looked as a sex object. Its all about how she carries her self once the piercing is done.
Is it possible to die from navel piercing?
-Like any other piercing, there is always the risk of infection and bacteria getting into your bloodstream. However, there has never been any reported deaths from a navel piercing.
How long does it take to heal?
-6 months to 1 year
When can you change your jewelry?
-After at least 6-8 weeks
Signs of infection?
-Keep an eye out for constant redness, swelling, yellowish discharge or puss, constant pain, or fever. These could all be signs of infection. Ask your piercer or doctor.
Where I Got My Info
I want this for my sixteenth birthday. I've wanted my belly button pierced since I was twelve and I have been extremely extremely patient. Obviously I know how to take care of it. I'm not doing it because my friends have it, actually none of them have it. I don't want it because I think it's "sexy" or to impress some guy. I want this because I honestly like the way it looks and want it for myself. I know it's going to hurt but I don't care. I already have seven piercings and this is just one more. I've literally included everything I could possibly think of in this Prezi. Please just think about it. Like really think about it.
How to Clean
First, WASH YOUR HANDS
Now, you should clean your piercing about 2-3 times a day depending on your activities.
Once your hands are clean you want to make sure you have the proper materials: q-tips, sea salt, warm water, a shot glass, and anti-bacterial soap.
First you will want to mix a small amount of soap and warm water in a shot glass, dip one end of the q-tip into the solution and make sure the end is completely saturated, then swirl the q-tip around your piercing (make sure to get both sides) and even push your jewelry up and down to get the solution into the hole. After you've thoroughly cleaned it with soapy water, to the same thing again with plain warm water to rinse it out. Once you're done rinsing it make sure to completely dry your belly button and you're done!
At least one of the ways you clean your new piercing a day should be with a warm water and sea salt soak. Fill a shot glass with a mixture of the water and sea salt and wait until the sea salt is completely or almost completely dissolved. Now here's the tricky part, bend over and press the glass to your belly around the piercing, then stand up and make sure the cup is completely suctioned to your stomach. Now go find somewhere to lay down and keep the cup on your piercing for the next five to ten minutes.
The History
In Egypt, dating back to ancient times, navel piercings signified a socially or politically high status and was generally reserved for god-like figures such as Pharaohs. Anyone of lower class sporting a navel piercing may of even been executed. Now, nobody has found much hard evidence on this, but wouldn't it be cool if this was true?
Navel piercings became big in pop culture when Christy Turlinton came out at a London fashion show with a shiny ring in her belly button. After that, celebrities like Madonna, Cher, Janet Jackson, and Noamie Campbell all had their own navels pierced.
Healing & Aftercare: Do's and Don'ts
DO put ice on it if it is swelling
DON'T itch or pick at it, don't even touch it-especially not with dirty hands.
DO use advil or ibuprofen to relieve pain.
DON'T use apsrin or tylenole.
DO use a mild anti-bacterial soap to wash your piercing 1-2 times a day.
DON'T use rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or any other harsh cleaners as this will hinder the healing process.
DO clean it after being in a pool, lake, or exercising.
DON'T wear tight clothing like pantyhose or skinny jeans while it's healing, this may cause the piercing to reject.
DO occasionally soak your piercing in warm sea salt and water.

The Procedure
Pick a place. Find somewhere local, trusted, and most of all, CLEAN!
Ask if they sterilize all of their tools and needles. If you bring your own jewelry, ask if they can sterilize it for you. If not, they should let you pick one out.
Your piercer is going to wipe down the navel area with an antiseptic then mark where the needle with go through. Make sure to look at this mark and tell your piercer if you want it moved a little this way or that; once the needle goes through there's no changing your mind.
The piercer is going to take a pair of metal clamps and gentle pinch the skin of your belly button to isolate the area. It won't hurt but the clamps may be a little cold.
Next, your piercer is going to take a sterilized, 14-16g(1.2-1.6 mm) hollow needle and make the hole.
After that, they will remove the clamps, insert the end of the jewelry into the end of the needle and thread it through.
Finally, the piercer will screw on the ball, clean up around the piercing and you're done!
Signs- extreme redness that doesn't go away or gets darker, swelling, and discharge or puss.
Treatment- continue washing it and avoid irritation. Try to change the way you're washing it if the way you've been doing it is not working. If it doesn't improve or gets worse, contact your piercer or a doctor.
Prevention- keep your piercing clean, don't over clean it, avoid irritating it.
