Trapped Again!
They wont let me copy X-Wing, the Imperial Pursuit! Oh no. I'm trapped again!!! I've got to formulate a plan to copy it and fast before Lucas arts gives us a sequel to it. I'm dead.
"If you read someone else's diary, you get what you deserve." —David Sedaris
This all started off in written form back when I was a kid. As an introverted only child with both parents at work most of the time, I had a lot of time to myself. So when I learned to write and that writing down my thoughts for posterity was a thing people did, I went at it myself.
I still have some of those papers which are basically just short recollections of the current day at kindergarten or elementary. Sometimes funny, oftentimes doodles of robots, I don't think they're particularly publishable to the internet at large, much less have an appreciative audience.
The bulk of these entries start off from high school and were largely typed on a then-modern 80386SX in plain text files (anyone remember Wordstar?) saved on 3½″ floppies. They were eventually transferred to Microsoft Word (receiving italics, boldface, tables, and proper typography in the process) and then to XHTML 1.1. They currently exist as XML-typed records in a MySQL database served through a custom PHP-based CMS. How far the times have come!
You're welcome to comment and message me on these. However, please remember the historical context in which some posts were written. While some posts are mundane (I've always been my worst critic), if you read enough, you'll notice the change in the topics, entry length, grammar and vocabulary, and tone of my writing.
If you see any typos or lapses in grammar, no need to call me out on them. I've probably seen them already as I was digitizing the physical copies of these entries and during their conversion from plain text to Word to XML. I'm keeping these as close as possible to their original form.
For the unpublished posts, those cover my life as a teenager full of angst and hormonal confusion from 1995 to 2000. While I initially balked at adding these, the thought of losing them won out. For purposes of posterity, these entries have been included in the database. After careful review, however, I've considered some of these entries to be too private for general public consumption. Maybe someday I'll decide to eventually make them public.
As for the long hiatus between entries, I have only life to blame. While life certainly went on during the intervening periods, I just either didn't see fit to make those entries public (for my own, as well as others' privacy), events weren't that important to write about, or I was just too busy at the time to write anything.
If you're terribly curious about the more private entries, drop me a line and I'll consider giving you access.
They wont let me copy X-Wing, the Imperial Pursuit! Oh no. I'm trapped again!!! I've got to formulate a plan to copy it and fast before Lucas arts gives us a sequel to it. I'm dead.
I've got it at last, Windows 3.1!! And this Sunday, I'm going to get my much awaited X-Wing, The Imperial Pursuit!! I have delayed my writing about what happened in the last few weeks because I was so excited about getting Windows at last. I've also saved enough money(P 300.00) to copy X-Wing, The Imperial Pursuit PC game. I told you I'd get what I want.
I've almost got it! Tomorrow I might get my two 3 ½" disks so I'll be free to copy all X-wing disks so that eases my planning pains. And I'll be getting my awaited Windows 3.1 shortly, or will I…
I'm trapped! A few weeks ago our car got an accident or something. Tomorrow we'll have to bring it in for repairs at Toyota Bel-Air branch. This will take 5 days. That means it's very close to school days. And I don't know if I'll get to copy X-Wing. But the good news is that I've got P300.00 pesos. But I can't spend it all in one setting. I've got a secondary plan to copy at least two to four X-wing disks. In a few days I'll be going to the supermarket to buy my school supplies, pens, pencils, envelopes, and especially diskettes. Once again I close this log only to open it again. I'll get what I want someday, someday…
My mom told me yesterday that when our damn fucking relatives get out of the country we will go to the mall!! At last a new game shall arrive. I don't know how I'm going to pull this one off but I've got a plan.
I'm talking about a new game I'd like to copy, X-Wing The Imperial Pursuit. It is taken from the Blockbuster movie of George Lucas, Star Wars. I don't know much about it but I can be sure that It's a great game. All I know is that it's the top rival of Mindscape's Wing Commander I, II and III and It has great 3D graphics which is good enough to make quite an impact on a Super VGA analog display and a medium but reliable 80386 processor. I don't know when I can get a chance to copy it because It's a whopping six 5¼" 1.2 Mb disks!! And that will cost me about P300.00 pesos plus I've got only four 3½" 1.44 Mb disks. That means I'll need two more 3½" 1.44Mb disks, which means P90.00 pesos more which brings my total money needs to P390.00!! At least that's a sign that it's a wonderful game. Well I'll tell you when I get it. Adios, Asta la vista, good-bye for now.
It's the last day of school! Now I can use this computer straight for two whole months. I've gotten two new great games, New Super Jeopardy and Battletech II the Crescent Hawks Revenge. I hope that by the next school year I will have finished one of them. Well anyhow I'd like to just sit back and enjoy the summer. So…
On this date I am starting this computer log to record my daily activities with my PC. To start it off I have made a very graphical Daily Calendar! © RaymondSoft,Inc. I have made a level one diagnostic just now and have recorded the results. They are very surprising and interesting. I have now made here a graph that contains the level type of diagnostics according to my design.

|About 75 rings tell age and history
of the cedar, some years
wet, some droughty.
A few weeks ago we came home to a fallen tree across the driveway, not just any tree, it was the cedar snag that stood, dead as a door nail, for the 30+ years I have lived here. Not particularly old, for a conifer, this tall tree towered above its surrounding, and living, neighbors, mostly Big-Leaf Maples and a few smaller cedars. It was the look out of numerous birds and the convenience store for a variety of woodpeckers. Many a fascinating bird sightings came from just looking up to the top of this cedar beacon.
|a well used tree, the cedar snag came down
on a windy day
It began to lean a few months ago, but often trees lean a long time before falling, so though inevitable, it was still with sadness we saw this giant bird perch lying on the ground. No doubt it will be missed by the resident woodpeckers even more than by us. Finally having a chance to see the tippy-top, it appears they excavated it down to a thin bit of wood, but it was the wet ground, causing the base to rot, that brought down the tall timber. Retired as a look-out and feeding station, it will now become firewood.
It is always with mixed emotions we decide to intentionally fall trees, but this winter it was with resolve we made the decision to do so. Our summers have been getting darker and darker, even on days when the rest of the NW might be enjoying sun. Unlike children, trees do not noticeably seem to get taller, it seems to happen both subtly and suddenly. When I realized I could no longer hang clothes to dry, for the window of sun in our yard was less than a few hours, I looked up more. Accustom to blaming cloddy clay soil for our gardening challenges, I had failed to notice, until a few years ago, our sun seeking veggies were having a difficult time growing, even surviving, in the shade of giant evergreens. The Douglas Firs had become sentinels whose job, it seemed, was to keep the sun out.
Aware of our woodsy surroundings, long ago I resigned to growing modest primulas, mugworts, and other shade "tolerate" flowers, but for decades I managed short season and cool weather veggies in a plot on the south side of the house. Peas, lettuce, beets, and even some summer squash seemed to adapt to the short, but often intensely hot, mid-day sun (trees do hold the summer heat). It was my own growing summer 'blues' that made me realize we had been engulfed by the firs surrounding us. When I would go somewhere, anywhere, even the post office, I would notice there is SKY 'out there'!
|two giant Grandfather Firs frame the half moon
After saying good-bye and thanking them for their majesty and the warmth they will be providing as firewood, a few tall firs were fallen to open up sky to the garden and our own sun-seeking souls.
The first tree down showed some rot, so perhaps that was a good one to fall, before it fell in a less opportune place. The next few seemed to fall almost gracefully, hitting the soft ground with more whoosh than thud. As the last tree fell, an Eagle flew over, circling.
Though a wider window of sky now exists between the stands of the giants,grandfather firs that will never be taken down, ancestors of all others, the space opened by the fallen trees is barely noticeable. Nature, the original succession planter and sustainability grower, has young trees behind, to the side, and in front of the ones that fell. They too will now thrive and grow with the added light. We are not greedy, wanting only a bit more sun, and in love with the trees that surround us, this next generation of tall timbers will be here long after we are gone.

In a recent letter to US Lawmakers on the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, Clean Energy States Alliance Executive Director Mark Sinclair expressed support for continued energy-related programs such as the Energy Title of the 2088 Farm, Conservation, and Energy Act:
"In calling for continued Farm Bill support for clean energy, we fully recognize the significant budgetary constraints facing federal policymakers. We also understand that the deficit reduction effort will require considerable belt-tightening by many sectors of the federal government, including agriculture. However, as the House and Senate Agriculture Committees engage with members of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and establish policy priorities within the next Farm Bill, we urge you to ensure that the Energy Title is preserved and receives robust funding if we are to tap the economic potential that rural clean energy represents for the nation."

When I was four years old my family took a cruise to Cancun. Cue the cliches.
Jewelry hawkers tried to drape silver necklaces on my mother. They pushed overpriced woven blankets and fake Mayan replicas on my grandmother. I played with other sunburned American kids in the blue water. It stung my eyes so hard I cried.
For 25 years, Mexico was just a touristy party land to me. It was a place to go on spring break or after graduating college. Frankly, I didn't take it seriously.
That changed in the late 2000s. Suddenly there was a growing number of beheadings, rapes and shootings in the tourist areas of Acapulco and the Yucatan. The media made Mexico out to be a bloody Disney World. I was intrigued.
Mexico City
In 2013, my fiance Greg and I visited Mexico City on a mission to discover the Mexico that didn't involve beachside resorts or headless tourists. We rented an apartment in La Condesa, a neighborhood with a reputation for being authentic and safe.
It was just five nights, but that trip to Mexico City was a game changer. It opened us up. The world got a little bigger, and suddenly eating bugs and accepting brown water from a stranger didn't seem like big deals.
First, let's be upfront about something; we were scared.
The internet hype around "the dangers of Mexico" was intense. There were a handful of online comments about armed robberies on busses. A few people knew a friend-of-a-friend who had been mugged in broad daylight.
I had nightmares.
But within a few hours, it was clear Mexico City was full of totally normal people living totally normal lives.
This place was not the scary land of drug dealers we'd read about online. Sure, we were extra vigilant and stuck to the most well-lit path. But overall we felt completely safe in La Condesa and the city center.
Mexico City was interesting. It was gritty and real and the food was amazing. We discovered an intriguing, and ridiculously high value, corner of the world.
Then there was the bug eating.
The New York Times did a writeup about a downtown Mexico City restaurant that served toasted grasshoppers and orange slices. After downing some mezcal we practiced our sub-par Spanish on the waitress.
"Insectos?" I made a hopping motion with my hand across the table.
(Pro tip: the correct word for ordering grasshoppers is "chapulines.")
When she brought them over we had to convince ourselves they were actually dead. The toasted corpses appeared to move in the wind. I won't tell you grasshoppers taste good. They were somehow crunchy and squishy at the same time. But you know what; we tried them and lived to tell.
Try Something New
Inspired by eating my first bug, (and made bold by drinking more mezcal,) I kept the whole try-something-new thing going at dinner. When the waiter took our drink order, I pointed to a random cocktail on the menu.
He returned with a beer and a muddy glass of brownish red liquid and ice. What exactly was this "cubano" I had ordered? One sip and it was clear this would be my go-to drink for the remainder of the trip.
Once home, I immediately tried to replicate the cubano recipe. The closest I've come is a mix of hot sauce, Worcestershire, lime, salt and beer. (Cheap beer works best.)
Looking back, Mexico City was one my favorite destinations to date. Perhaps because I didn't have any expectations. My eyes were completely open. There were no preconceptions, just what was in front of me.
And often that was a cubano.

The jaw joint is also known as the TMJ, or the temperomandibular joint. TMJ disorders can cause pain in the jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement. The symptoms vary in nature, severity and cause. Some more common symptoms include migraine or tension headaches, neck and shoulder aches and pain in the TMJ area.
Healthy joints have a thin cushion of cartilage called a disc which is normally positioned between the top and bottom jaws. When healthy, this disc provides cushion between the bones of the upper and lower jaws. When unhealthy, this disc can be displaced or dislocated. The jaw joint is a complex joint and is required to work in a coordinated fashion. Unlike knees, elbows or shoulders; the jaw joints are required to work in harmony and unison.
Symptoms which are more severe and often indicative of a longer standing problem are:
- vertigo (dizziness)
- tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- sharp pain in one or both ears
- a feeling of fullness in the ears
- hearing loss
- light sensitivity
- low back pains
- poor posture
More of the commonly reported jaw joint symptoms may include:
- popping, clicking, or a grinding sound in the TMJ upon opening
- tenderness or pain in the joint
- muscle aches in the head, face or neck area
- difficulty in chewing
- jaw muscle fatigue after chewing or talking
- limited ability to open or close the jaw
- clenching or grinding of the teeth
- sensitivity of the teeth
- excessive tooth damage and or wear
- a deviation of the jaw upon opening and or closing
Improper occlusion or bite can follow a traumatic injury to the jaw, extraction of the teeth, extensive dental treatment being done or prolonged opening. If your bite changes and becomes unstable, this can lead to clenching, grinding and ultimately painful muscles of the face and jaw joint.
Ringing of the ears (tinnitus), a sense of fullness in the ears, dizziness (vertigo), and hearing loss have been common signs or symptoms involved in jaw dislocation. Decompression of the joint and stabilization of the bite has often relieved these symptoms, which are exacerbated in the ears. Studies show that up to 80% of TMD cases result in the following ear-associated symptoms: excessive earwax, dizziness, hearing loss, sounds of fullness in the ears, or ringing of the ears. Most TMJ patients who complain of ear-related symptoms often find relief in therapeutic treatment with dental appliances.
The jaw joint is a complex joint and is required to work in a coordinated fashion. Unlike knees, elbows or shoulders, the jaw joints are required to work in harmony and unison. Healthy joints have a thin cushion of cartilage called a disc, which is normally positioned between the top and bottom jaws. When healthy, this disc provides cushion between the bones of the upper and lower jaws. When unhealthy, this disc can be displaced or dislocated.
Prolonged clenching and grinding can lead to a dysfunction of the coordinated muscles of the joint and the disc. This can lead to dislocation of the disk and patients can hear the clicking or popping in their joints. An "out of place" disk can then compress the small blood vessels and nerves in the back of the joint, causing pain. Eventually, this friction caused by a displaced or dislocated disk can lead to bone on bone contact in the joint. In cases where this happens, arthritis of the joint is often the result.
The treatment objective is to relieve pain by decompressing the jaw joint. Our dentists do this by allowing optimum functional movement of the jaw, and establishing appropriate tooth-to-tooth relationships in order to produce stability in the TMJ joint. With a stable bite, it is found that muscle pain, tension, headaches and neck pain are improved. With the jaw joint being repositioned into the appropriate position, symptoms related to the ears often subside. At Dentistry for Health, we have very highly trained dental professionals with specialized backgrounds in neuromuscular dental treatment. A proper diagnosis of your symptoms is essential to successful treatment.
Diagnosis of TMJ dysfunction is made following a comprehensive and thorough an airway assessment and bite evaluation. Further information can be gained by using a cone beam CT scan, which can allow the doctor to view the joint and joint space in a three-dimensional image. Further diagnostic tests, such as jaw tracking analysis and joint vibration analysis to listen for jaw sounds, are other valuable tests used in the assessment of the joint.
Following a diagnostic evaluation, a customized treatment plan can be developed in order to maximize therapeutics.
Jaw repositioning usually requires oral appliance therapy, which can be used from 3-12 months to attain maximum improvement. There are numerous custom fitted devices available, and your dentist will decide which on is best for you.
Some examples of appliance treatment therapies are the ALF and Twin Block appliances. Other modes of treatment such as Botox therapeutic injections, trigger point injections, cold laser therapy, ultrasound, specific jaw, head, and neck exercises, and custom made orthotics (splints) can be some of the many options available in treating TMD pain.
The ALF appliance is used to improve the bite and align teeth without braces or orthodontic treatment. This appliance is used to help restore cranial osteopathic balance through light orthopedic forces. The ALF uses principles of cranial osteopathy to address the alignment of the bones (orthopedic treatment). The ALF works by helping to maintain the normal cranial movements through the maxilla (upper jaw) where it is placed.
Biting forces that may be leading to inappropriate forces into the cranial complex can be redirected using manual cranial techniques and mandibular (lower jaw) appliances. These inappropriate forces from the muscles of mastication (facial muscles), along with imbalanced muscle activity of the neck can lead to cranial strains.
Cranial strains can lead to malocclusions (crooked teeth), facial asymmetries, and TMD (dysfunctional jaw joint). All of these conditions can in turn lead to imbalances that cause dysfunction and pain.

North American box office brings in record year for Hollywood… kind of
NEW YORK– Hollywood had a record-breaking year at the North American box office, but it comes with an asterisk.
According to the media measuring company comScore, the box office raked in $11.4 billion in 2016, topping 2015's record of $11.1 billion to make it the highest-earning year in movie history.
Pop the champagne, right? Well, yes and no.
While no one in Tinseltown is going to lose sleep over a $11 billion box office year, the achievement is attributable, in part, to more expensive tickets.
Movie tickets in North America cost roughly 18 cents less in 2015, according to Box Office Mojo.
It'll be a few weeks before official numbers are announced, but projections from both comScore and Box Office Mojo show overall attendance was about the same in 2015 and 2016.
That's a pretty solid accomplishment considering big hits like "Finding Dory" and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" didn't achieve the same ticket sales records that "Jurassic World" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" did in 2015.
The industry does have some challenges ahead — competition from streaming services continues to rise and entertainment viewing habits continue to shift — but 2017 has a slate of promising films: "Fifty Shades Darker," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Fate of the Furious," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," "Spider-Man: Homecoming," "Justice League" and "Star Wars: Episode VIII" could all draw crowds.
With that lineup, 2017 may actually give Hollywood a record setting year at the box office and inside theaters.

One of our most requested features, TextNow is happy to announce that you can now opt-into using your native dialer with TextNow! You'll now be able to use your device's built-in dialer (i.e. the green phone icon), or the TextNow dialer, whichever you choose.
Here's a quick run-down of how to turn it on, along with what changes you'll see between using the native and TextNow dialers. Note that this applies to devices with Android Marshmallow (6.0) and above on the CDMA network.
As we rollout this new feature over the course of the next week or so, you should see this message pop up on your TextNow device. Tap Accept to continue. (You can also tap Later to set this up later, or Learn More for a link to this article.)
After tapping Accept, you'll see this next screen asking you to tap OK to allow TextNow to use the native dialer. (If you chose to set TextNow as your default later, you can get to this setting in your TextNow app under Settings > Calling > Default Calling App.)
Once you select OK, you'll see that the Default Calling App is now set to use TextNow.
Once you set the default to use TextNow, you will receive our best dialer and calling experience to date with a highly-integrated dialing experience between VOIP and the cellular network. You can disable this feature from the Default Apps menu in in your main Android Settings app anytime.
Once you're in the Native Dialer experiment and you're on a cellular phone call, you'll see the TextNow screen with Cellular connection at the top of your call. This means that TextNow is now able to give you the best dialer and calling integration to date.
You should be aware of some key differences between using the native dialer and the TextNow dialer during PSTN calls. (PSTN refers to the cell phone voice network. Calls over data (i.e. wifi or 3G/4G) are VoIP calls (voice over IP))
Some important differences to remember between PSTN and VoIP:
- Calls cannot be placed on hold on PSTN. (For example, you cannot complete a conference call on PSTN, as it would involve placing your call on hold in order to conference in a third party.)
- You can, however, receive another call while on the line with your current call (i.e. call waiting).

He's the star of the catchy TV advert that everyone's singing along to but now tenor Wynne Evans is about to return to the stage with Welsh National Opera. He talks to Karen Price about his alter-ego
OPERA singer Wynne Evans was reminded just how popular his latest role is as he stood in a queue for a train ticket at Cardiff Central Station.
"A complete stranger came up close to my face and shouted, 'Go Compare' and then just walked off," he laughs.
The 38-year-old is the star of one of the biggest TV ads of the moment, playing the role of the Italian tenor for the Newport-based insurance comparison website Go Compare.
Without the wig and false moustache he may bear little resemblance to the character Gio Compario but it seems that people still recognise him, particularly children.
"The kids love it – they've just really latched onto it. I was on the train one day wearing headphones and this child was standing in front of me saying, 'Are you the Go Compare man?' I could not really hear her so she started shouting it out and soon the whole train was looking at me."
Evans, who lives with his family in Lisvane, Cardiff, says his own two children – eight-year-old Ismay and five-year-old Taliesin – are Gio Compario's biggest fans.
"They just love it – they sing the song all the time."
Although he's a regular performer with Welsh National Opera, having made his debut with the Cardiff-based company in the 1997 production of The Coronation of Poppea, and has sung with other opera companies all over Europe, the last six months have seen Evans' popularity soar – and it's all thanks to those ads.
Evans' first TV ad was for Walker's Sensations crisps when he was the operatic voice of Gary Lineker, who was seen pushing Tara Palmer-Tomkinson on a swing.
When Go Compare were looking for an opera star, they got in touch with a music agency for commercials. They wanted to find an opera singer to sing the part but were planning on using an actor to perform as Gio Compario as they didn't think they could find anyone who could do both.
Evans found himself auditioning to sing the role and he was called back for a second audition.
"I started gesticulating and they said, 'You might be very good for the vision too.' The next thing I knew, it was all happening."
A total of five adverts were shot in London in five days. The first one aired in August last year.
As they are so catchy, many people find the adverts annoying.
"It does stick in your head but that makes the adverts so successful," says Evans.
"Any advertising campaign with this much exposure will be on everyone's minds. But there are positives and negatives."
For the next few weeks, Evans will be back on stage at the Wales Millennium Centre as WNO launch their new season with The Abduction From The Seraglio.
He sings Pedrillo, a comic role, which is something he wants to do more of in future.
"It's something I've moved into now and something I'm comfortable with," he says.
"When every singer starts out in their career they want to be a lyric tenor.
"A couple of years down the line I thought, 'What do I excel at and enjoy doing the most?'
"It's comedy really. I know I can do it at a very high level and do it well as opposed to doing lyric roles at a lesser level."
Set on the Orient Express in the '20s en route from Paris to Istanbul, the piece is regarded as one of Mozart's wittiest operas. As well as The Abduction From The Seraglio, WNO will be staging old favourites Tosca and Carmen this season. The former is a revival of Michael Blakemore's period production of Puccini's dramatic classic while the latter celebrates the 135th anniversary year of Bizet's popular opera.
Evans is not too worried that serious opera-goers will be put off by his alter-ego.
"I look at the Go Compare adverts as just an extension of comic opera," he says. "They're so well filmed and they've always given me a complete licence to say, 'I don't like that'.
"I've always been really comfortable doing it and it's nice to get your profile lifted."
The Abduction From The Seraglio is at the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, tomorrow and February 20. For full details of the new season, visit www.wno.org.uk

Unless you enjoy deer snacking in your garden or do not mind setting out your tomatoes in a cat litter box, a garden fence is a must. The idea of enclosing your growing space in an ugly chain-link web or a stiffing board fence can be off putting, but it need not be. In fact, with a bit of creativity, what might otherwise be an eyesore could become an impromptu art gallery or extra garden space.
Green Wall
Perhaps the quickest and most effective way to cover a wire or chain-link fence is with greenery. Plant fast-growing vines at the base, and train them up and over the mesh as they grow. You may choose a practical vine, such as beans or garden peas, cucumbers or even squash or gourds so the space becomes a bountiful extension of the garden growing area, or go for morning glories, scarlet runner beans, clematis or honeysuckle for fragrant flowers. An evergreen, perennial ivy will keep the fence covered year-round.
Home for Espaliers
If you have a solid fence facing south, consider yourself lucky. That is the ideal spot to train an espaliered fruit tree, such as peaches, figs or even citrus, in more southerly climates. Use closed eye hooks and galvanised or stainless steel wire to train the limbs up the fence as they grow. This is also another way to grow vines if you do not have a wire fence.
Shadow Plants
If you prefer an instant solution and are not especially artistic, try making a shadow painting on your solid fence. Wait for the sun to cast leaf shadows on the fence from nearby trees and shrubs, or prop leafy branches between the fence and sun if there are no handy trees nearby. Use a marker to outline the shadows on the fence, and fill in the shapes with green paint of various shades to give yourself pretty all-day leafy shadows instead of a bare fence. Plant shrubs in front for added depth.
Fence Gallery
Art is where you find it, and that need not be indoors. Take advantage of all that expanse of bare wall to show off your favourite objects d'art from stone and concrete base reliefs, stained glass and mirrors to vintage lamps, wrought iron gates and other architectural pieces. Mixed with hanging flower pots filled with a profusion of colourful blooms, they will transform ugly into inspiring. Change pieces and flowers often for continued interest all year.
Clever Murals
Artistic individuals may enjoy painting their fences to create "windows" and "doors" leading out of the garden or make the space seem more expansive than it actually is. The French refer to this as trompe l'oiel or "fool the eye." Build an archway, grow huge flowers overnight or create a view into another garden all with the aid of a few brushes and cans of paint. Many examples abound on the Internet. The projects at Decorate Your Fence -- by several mural artists -- may just inspire you to do it yourself.

I don't know about you but sometimes I just want dinner to be something quick and easy. So I've got a recipe for when you're in a hurry and want something quick and filling but still on the healthy side.
Of course, it's so easy to just order a takeaway, but with Veetee 'Heat and Eat' rice range (it takes just 2 minutes in the microwave) which is great, but you still need something else to go with it; so instead of a ready meal why not try my recipe?
Veetee range of ready cooked rice includes not only Long Grain Rice but Basmati, Basmati and Wild Rice, New Orleans Style, Peri Peri and more.
For my recipe, I used Veetee plain long-grain since I wanted to add my own flavour to the dish.
Rice, Spicy, Beans, Recipe
Yield: 2-4
Quick-n-Easy Spicy Rice and Bean Feast
The perfect recipe for when you're in a hurry and want something quick and filling but still on the healthy side.
olive oil
1 x Veetee pack of long grain rice - 300g
2 spicy chorizo sausages (50g) - uncooked and diced
1 red onion - diced
1/2 red bell pepper - deseeded and diced
1/2 green bell pepper - deseeded and diced
1 clove garlic - peeled and finely chopped
2 halves of sun-dried tomatoes - drained from oil and chopped
1 teaspoon of Pimentón de la Vera - or you can use hot paprika
1 x 300g can of Mexican style beans in water - drained
6 baby plum tomatoes - halved
a good squeeze of tomato ketchup
sea salt to taste
Heat up a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the chorizo then remove and set aside.
Without washing the pan as it's good to keep the lovely flavorsome orange oil from the chorizo; add a little more oil and cook the onions, peppers and garlic until soften bt not coloured.
Add the pack of Veetee rice along with the Pimentón de la Vera and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring gently to break up the rice.
Now you can add the well drained can of beans along with the plum tomatoes and a good squirt of tomato ketchup. Add the cooked chorizo back in and cook gently whilst stirring over a medium heat until everything is piping hot.
Add a pinch of sea salt, stir and taste adding more if you think it needs it. If the mixture looks too dry you can add a splash of water. Serve straight away while piping hot.

In some people, the forehead and eyebrows relax and droop before your eyelids or face will. This is due to many factors including genetics, diminished elasticity from sun damage, or excessive movement of the forehead muscles. Natural aging and the pull of gravity can also cause frown lines and wrinkles to develop across your forehead. Other causes of brow ptosis include facial palsy, tumors, and asymmetry. Forehead muscles are used frequently in your facial expressions when you do things such as squinting, showing surprise, frowning, laughing, concentrating, talking, or during angry moments. As the muscles beneath your forehead move, the skin and tissues repeatedly fold, wrinkle, and stretch. As a result, your eyebrows fall into a lower position, especially on the sides, and your eyebrows droop, allowing skin to be pushed onto your upper eyelids. This gives them the appearance of having excess skin.
When Dr. Moelleken performs a Brow Lift, it will correct the sagging forehead skin and brows that hang low and too close to your eyes. A common cosmetic surgery for the face, a Brow Lift will also correct the deep vertical furrows between your brows. If you would like to learn more about the procedure, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Moelleken today and he will take the time to evaluate your situation and together you can decide on the most optimal outcome. Basically, what Dr. Moelleken will do is lift your eyebrows through the side or center of your eyebrows. This will counteract the drooping that has occurred over the years as well as correcting the heaviness that has developed in your upper eyelids. Lifting your eyebrows to a normal position will open your eyes making you look alert and rested. A small amount of eyebrow elevation will make a remarkable improvement in your appearance and because of the new technical advances; a Brow Lift is an extremely popular cosmetic surgery procedure used to rejuvenate your face.
If you have a sagging forehead or brows that hang too low, you may be a candidate for Brow Lift surgery. At Neo Surgery Center we know how important it is for you to feel good about yourself. Being confident has as much to do with how you feel on the inside as it does with how you look on the outside so whether you are looking for a subtle or noticeable change, call today and let Dr. Moelleken help you regain your self-esteem. At Neo Surgery Center, please remember that your relationship with Dr. Moelleken does not end when you leave the operating room. You will return to his office for follow up care at prescribed intervals, at which time your progress will be carefully evaluated. As always, if you have questions or concerns during your recovery, or you need additional information anytime, we are always available so please call. The results of your Brow Lift will depend on your appearance prior to the surgery as well as the specific goals and realistic expectations you have established. Since the healing process is gradual, you should expect to wait several weeks for an accurate picture of your refreshed, new look.
Your brow, which includes your forehead and eyebrows, is an extremely important cosmetic part of your face. As you age, the anatomic changes that occur in your upper face associated with aging include; brow ptosis or the descent or drooping down of your eyebrows over the orbital rim, the hooding of eyelid skin over your lid shelf where your eye shadow is worn, increasing horizontal wrinkles that are a result of contracting the muscles that lift your eyebrows, and vertical lines between your eyebrows that occur when you make frowning expressions. The lines that develop across your forehead as well as on the bridge of your nose are known as frown lines and they are a very unwelcomed presence. These changes become more profound with age because your skin loses its elasticity and the effects of gravity and facial expressions take their toll. More than just making you look older, an aging forehead, sagging brows, and deep creases can also make you appear tired or sometimes even angry. Many times, people focus more on their eyelids and lower face thus overlooking how aged and tired a sagging forehead can make them look.
Your face portrays the first visible signs of aging and your brow and upper face are a representation of your overall well being. When the graceful arch of your eyebrows change to one that is flat and heavy, it is time to research the options available and one way to correct your cosmetic concerns is with a Brow Lift. Also known as a Forehead Lift or Browplasty, Brow Lift surgery will create a fresher, more youthful look to your forehead and upper eye area. By tightening your skin, this procedure minimizes forehead wrinkles and drooping eyebrows. It can also elevate an eyebrow that may obstruct vision and remove the deep worry lines that run across your forehead. People considering a Brow Lift feel that their facial features do not reflect their youthful spirit and they are looking for a way to rejuvenate their appearance.
If you have been struggling with a sagging brow, Dr. Brent Moelleken M.D., F.A.C.S., can turn back the hands of time with a Brow Lift. Literally, this procedure can consist of a small incision at the front of your hairline to slightly elevate the outer part of your brow. Many women and men who visit Dr. Moelleken at Neo Surgery Center feel that their face has taken on a fatigued look because their upper facial skin has started to deteriorate. Many patients also mistakenly believe they need a facelift when in fact; they may need a Brow Lift instead. A facelift corrects the visible signs of aging in the lower face but does not rejuvenate the upper face. A Brow Lift is a surgery that raises drooping eyebrows and forehead skin into a more youthful position and as the name implies, your brow is lifted and your forehead skin is tightened. This will smooth out horizontal lines and minimize the heaviness in your upper eyelids.

There are many sources of advice out there, some with grand plans of radical change and others with the tempered wisdom of experience. Earlier last year Harvard Business Review published a blog article on Why Your Company Should Use the Kickstarter Model to Innovate, which treads a fine line between these two extremes.
Yes, the potential benefits of breaking down silos in large organisations are huge. Yes, those organisations have probably the tools in place to run competitive innovation marketplaces. There are immense implications for organisational design and innovation management if a company were to truly embrace such a different operating mode, and perhaps one day that mode will become the new normal.
Where the article falls down is that the picture presented is not visionary enough to make people sit up and listen. Michael Schrage correctly balances the article by including some discussion of potential implementation issues, but that unfortunately limits the ability to communicate the benefits of the vision.
You might think that the vision doesn't need to be spelled out. Of course it's going to be better, right? People working together in small collaborative teams with a healthy competitive attitude – how could we ever go back? As with any vision, if you 'get it', then it appears obvious. In any large organisation some people are going to get it, but most won't. Most won't envisage how revolutionary such a change could be. This reminds me of a continuous improvement technique called Single Minute Exchange of Die , which (if you believe the numbers) improved a Toyota production rate by forty times. How many people do you think believed that could be done? Would that ever have been given a chance if the opening pitch included a detailed discussion of the potential risks?
ideocial is about to provide a platform which that HBR blog describes – Kickstarter for companies. The trick now is to provide enough vision to win over those who are on the verge of getting it, and providing enough detail to those who will never be convinced by the vision alone.

FC: Jamie and Sarah
1: Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We are excited to share a small part of our life with you on the following pages, in hopes that you will want to include us in your adoption plan and get to know us even better! We have been married for over four years and have one daughter, who was adopted in 2009. Sarah has always felt like adoption would play an important part in her life, and after we were married in 2007, we decided together that adoption was the right path for us to build our family. Ideally, we would like to have an open adoption, as that is the type of relationship we have with our daughter's birth family, but we are willing to accept any level of communication you are comfortable with. You are in our thoughts and prayers on a daily basis regardless of your decision, and our greatest hope is that you find peace and comfort in whatever you decide. We hope to speak with you soon! Jamie & Sarah
2: About Us
3: We met in Atlanta in 2004 after being introduced by mutual friends. We quickly discovered a mutual love of college football, music and travel and spent lots of time getting to know each other over the next year and a half. Jamie proposed on Christmas morning in 2005, and then we were married a year and a half later in June of 2007. (We don't do anything quickly, do we?)
4: Sarah's biological mother died when she was four years old. Her father remarried and her stepmother became her mother - she adopted Sarah and her younger brother and raised them as her own, and later a baby sister was added to the family. Due to her experience, Sarah has always had a special place in her heart for adoption and felt like God prepared her own heart to adopt someday. Sarah grew up in a small town in Texas surrounded by animals - there were always dogs, cats, chickens, goats, lambs, pigs, and baby calves around! She is the oldest of three children - she has a younger brother and sister who both live in Texas, as do her parents. Growing up, Sarah enjoyed school and was on the honor roll and actively involved in band, art, drama, speech, and her church youth group. Sarah is a stay at home mom. In her free time, she enjoys reading, music, decorating and organizing her home, taking pictures, painting, crafting, going on walks with Payton, and spending time with family and friends. She is very creative and enjoys working on (and occasionally finishing!) projects around the house!
5: About Sarah
6: About Jamie
7: Jamie grew up in a big city in Texas. He is the middle of three children - his brother is married with three children in Oklahoma and his sister is married with two children in Massachusetts. Jamie's parents still live in Texas in the house he grew up in. In school, Jamie was on the honor roll and active in band, French club, and his church's youth group - he is still very close friends with several of his childhood friends and he enjoys going home to visit them and his family. Jamie works in television and has been nominated for and won numerous journalism and media awards over the years, including an Emmy! Jamie loves Dave Matthews Band, whitewater kayaking, fantasy football, watching just about any sport on TV, playing softball with his coworkers, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. He is very enthusiastic about sports and loves to talk about his favorite players and teams - he enjoys teaching our daughter about those things and can't wait to share them with another daughter or son!
8: Payton is the light of our lives. Her adoption was finalized in 2009 and we are in an open relationship with her birth family. She is a very smart, happy little girl and will be a great big sister! Her favorite things are snuggling her baby dolls, giving hugs and kisses to Mama and Daddy, playing with her dog Maggie, reading books, playing outside, bath time and making BIG messes!
10: What Jamie loves about Sarah... When Sarah and I first met, she was a full-time nanny for two of the sweetest little girls you will ever meet. (We thought so much of them that we asked the girls to be flower girls in our wedding.) Sarah also lived with the family, so she spent more time with the girls than their parents, who worked long hours. Watching her help raise those precious little girls gave me a chance to see something most men are not lucky enough to see - a sneak peek at what my future wife would be like as a mom! I truly believe those girls are so smart, sweet and precious because of Sarah's influence on their lives. Our daughter is growing up to be just as smart, sweet and precious. Sarah is a loving mother and wonderful wife, and she always puts the needs of our daughter and me above her own wants and needs - and that is a very rare quality to find. One of the things I love most about Sarah is her uncanny ability to make me (and everyone around her) laugh. She is one of the funniest, smartest, and most compassionate women I have ever met. She helped me overcome a very tough time in my life and I've been smiling since. Her compassion and faith in God never failed to amaze me. Now we are putting our faith in God that He will once again help our family grow!
13: What Sarah loves about Jamie... Jamie is one of the funniest, kindest, and most compassionate people I have ever met. When we met, I noticed right away how much he loves animals, children, his family and friends. He is loyal to a fault, and is passionate about his career and providing for his family. He works very hard so that I can stay home with our daughter and any future children we may have. He treats me with the utmost love and respect, and sets a wonderful example for our daughter. As a father, he amazes me every single day. He is incredibly patient and so very funny. He finds creative ways to interact with our daughter and teach her new things. I love watching them together -- whether it's snuggling and reading books before bedtime (or anytime she requests to be read to!), cheering for their favorite football team together, or laughing and chasing each other around the backyard. His love for our family is my greatest blessing!
14: Our family and friends have expressed nothing but love and excitement for us as we start down the path of our second adoption journey - they are all looking forward to helping us welcome you and your child into our lives if you choose to include us in your adoption plan. Each friend and family member is so important to us and we wouldn't be where we are today without their unconditional love and unfailing support. And most of all, Payton's grandparents can't wait to have another baby to spoil with lots of snuggles and love!
15: Family & Friends
16: We promise... Unconditional love Laughter Hugs and kisses Memories Bedtime stories Prayers Understanding Camping under the stars Lots of books!
18: What adoption means to us... Adoption is unselfish...we are so thankful that you are reading this and even considering making an adoption plan for your child. We have so much respect for you and pray that you find peace as you make your decision. Adoption is a blessing...we hope you can comprehend what an incredible gift it would be if you chose us to parent your child. There is nothing in this world we want more than to give our daughter a sibling, and the person who makes that happen will richly bless our lives beyond our imagination. Adoption is about building families...and we're not just talking about a sibling for Payton! Adoption grows families by joining together the adoptive and biological...a child can never have too many cousins or grandparents in our opinion! We would consider you a cherished member of our family, just like our siblings, parents and grandparents are to us. Adoption is a future...we don't know what has brought you to this decision, but we want you to know that if you choose us to parent your child, we will offer him or her the best future we possibly can. We will provide for their emotional, physical and spiritual well-being so their future will be full of possibilities. We are praying for you as you choose the future that is best for both you and your child.
20: Thank you for reading our profile and considering us to parent your child. With love, Jamie & Sarah

Texting Team Members and Supervising Sponsors
by Brian Irwin
Question 1
I've been a project manager for over 35 years now and I've seen dramatic changes in the profession over that time. Needless to say, major change has been seen in technology and process improvement allowing me to perform my job more efficiently. However, especially over the past ten years, I've noticed a change in the project team members which has proven to be a major challenge to me personally in completing my projects on time, within budget, and with acceptable quality.
Let me give you an example to help illustrate what I'm talking about. I am currently leading a project to develop a software system which will provide a custom accounting interface which will tie into the company's inventory control system. The project team consists of several business analysts, programmers, and technical experts. Terry, one of my programmers who is a recent college graduate, does not arrive at the office until around 9:30–10:00 a.m. In meetings, he will send texts and answer email on his cell. As the icing on the cake, he recently asked to work remotely.
I've noticed this trend over the past several years. This hinders my ability to provide control over the project and stay in touch with what is happening on the project. Is this a symptom of the next generation of workers or is there something I can do as a project manager to make my life simpler?Sincerely,
Feeling Out-of-Control
Dear Feeling Out-of-Control,
I'm going to make a bold assumption from your statement, "I've been a project manager for over 35 years now…" that you're from the Baby Boom generation, those born between the years 1946 and 1964. What you are describing is much more common than you may think.
The past few years have provided a very unique situation. For the first time in our history, four generations find themselves colleagues in today's workplace. At one point I believed we were nearing the end of this era as you would typically only see three generations in the workplace—Baby Boomers (1946–1964), Generation X (1964–1984), and Generation Y (1984–present). However, the current economic situation is forcing more workers from the Baby Boom generation to put off retirement and more Matures (those born before 1946) to return to the workforce.
To begin to gain an understanding of each of these generations you need look no further than the situation in which each was raised. Doing so will provide insight into where each generation places value. Likewise, it will also provide insight into where each generation does not place value. In your case, Terry—being from Generation Y (my assumption as you stated Terry was a recent college graduate)—grew up in a time marked by corporate scandal, rapidly-changing technology, and instant gratification. These life lessons, among others, helped to shape how they identified with the world. Each generation's life events shaped how they would view and react to the world around them and Generation Y is no different.
Let's examine each of the items you brought up in your letter individually. Your first observation is that Terry does not arrive until around 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. This generation is about getting it done on their time—as long as it's by the deadline and regardless of the time of day. My first reaction would be to ask, what time does he leave? If there are meetings in which his presence is required (not requested—required), address this with him. If not, I would examine if Terry is getting tasks done on-time and with sufficient quality? If not, I would suggest having a discussion with Terry and his manager about the behavior. If the answer to both is that it's not impacting the project, then what's the problem? If it's impacting your project, by all means, raise the issues.
Secondly, you mentioned sending texts during meetings. This is up to your discretion. Personally, if it is a meeting and Terry is not required to participate in that portion of the meeting I'd contend you don't need to worry about it. However, if he's distracting others or is missing important information he needs to complete his job, bring it to his attention. In either case the decision is yours. I would recommend reconsidering his attendance at the meetings if he's not required. Also, it is your responsibility to set the ground rules prior to the meeting beginning. At that point you have a course of action should he begin texting.
Finally, you said that he's asked to work remotely. Have you probed to find out what's driving this request? Is there a personal reason? Seriously consider the request before dismissing it. His reasoning may not be related to not wanting to be in the office.
To answer your final question, this is not simply a symptom of this generation of workers. Each generation has had its own symptoms. And, yes, there is always hope from a project management perspective. As with anything in the world of projects and people, it's all in the approach.
Question #2
I'm having a problem with my project team. At the inception of the project, my sponsor told me she wanted to be copied on all team communication because she wanted to be viewed as part of the team and, because of the priority of the project, wanted to make herself available to quickly resolve issues which were standing in the way of project completion. However, fulfilling my sponsor's request has resulted in some very upset team members. What is occurring is that my sponsor is scolding team members when I email them about issues and copy her on the communication. Also, they've become very upset by the fact that I copy her on the communication and view it as me asking her for assistance. How should I handle this going forward?Sincerely,
Feeling Helpless
Dear Feeling Helpless,
You have a situation that I do not hear of very often, a hyper-involved project sponsor. My suggestion would be to have a frank discussion with your sponsor and let her know what's happening with your team as a result of her actions. While it's commendable that your sponsor wants to be involved and be viewed as a team member it's neither advisable nor productive to have your sponsor involved in all project issues. In your discussion with her explain that you are very impressed with her level of commitment to the project.
Since you're talking to an executive-level team member do not directly challenge. Rather, when you are explaining your point start the conversation with, "I sincerely appreciate your personal interest in keeping the project moving forward, but have you considered the impact your actions may be having on the team? Please let me explain ..."
Continue with your explanation from that point. If possible, give specific examples to support your situation. I'd be very surprised if your sponsor does not take a different tack given the priority of your project as you communicated it.
Got a question of sticky project politics you'd like Brian to address? Pass them on. They may be included in a future column.
Not sure what a project sponsor's role is really supposed to look like? Here are a few thoughts. Build a case for which meetings you really need and who needs to be at them using this model. Then establish some meeting ground rules to keep everyone on the same page.

DQ Vodka
What? Dairy Queen came out with a vodka? CAN I GET IT IN A BLIZZARD?
Well, DQ doesn't come from America's Heartland but from Sweden and is the first publicly owned vodka from Sweden since they gave up the government monopoly with Absolut and DQ is for Distilled Intelligence. No, intelligence doesn't start with a Q, I just read the press releases.
The vodka comes from wheat seeds that are planted in autumn, rather than spring, and allowed to mature before sprouting, thus removing biological impurities. After multiple distillations and filtrations, it's then blended with a soft, clean water from Malmköping, which is protected by the government.
The truly unique thing about this vodka is that it's mixed at the end of its with some more of the raw spirit, adding to its complexity.

Bonus Room Comfort Solution
Don't be confused about radiant barriers. If you have high-bills and comfort problems, you don't need radiant barrier. There are plenty of folks and products that aim to reduce the temperature of the attic. What we do is air-seal and protect your wall insulation from the attic so that in a way, it doesn't matter how hot or cold your attic is. We only install radiant barrier to protect, align, and encapsulate the insulation, or as an air-or vapor barrier. Here are some photos of a recent Attic Renovation that solved constant comfort issues in a North Raleigh Home. Our radiant barrier is used as an air-barrier. The job required adding 40 new 2×4's (one at the top and bottom of each knee-wall "cavity") as seen here:
1913 Bonus Room Blocking and Air-Sealing with PRODEX RADIANT BARRIER
This homeowner noticed an immediate and drastic improvement in comfort and reduction in garage noise entering the home.
Our RADIANT BARRIER is insulated, consisting of closed cell foam (not bubble wrap like you can get at Lowes) with Reflective Metal and plastic on both sides. We use it because it is tough, rigid yet flexible, and can be easily stapled to framing. But remember, the purpose is air-sealing! In the above circumstances, this solution would not have worked without the new "Top and Bottom Plates". If you have attic walls in your home can you tell if they have top-plates and bottom plates? This solution would also not have worked if we did not seal the lower tail of the insulated air-barrier to the drywall of the garage/master bedroom below. It would not have worked if we did not foam all the little gaps and tape the seems. For this kind of framing you can used a finish nailer with long finish nails rather than a framing nailer which might not fit into these really tight spaces. We would not have been able to stretch the Radiant Barrier over the R-19 wall insulation if the material was thin, paper based radiant barrier. (Update, we have begun folding the prodex over the missing top-plate to create a top-plate and the results are good.)

Various Prodex Applications
Some homes have no "attic-walls", some have lots. Some have 3rd floors instead of bonus rooms, some have trusses, others are stick built, either way, when we provide our "Bonus Room Comfort Solution", we also provide a complete package of Attic-Air-Sealing so that no low-hanging fruit is left behind.
Attic Air-Sealing is Included!

Adam, thank you so much for saving our bonus room. I can not believe that after 8 years of misery, you and Tim solved the problem in 6 hours and that it was so affordable. We had other quotes that we 4x higher and the scope was entirely different involving spray-foam and drywall removal. My neighbors (in the same predicament will be calling) have been referred to this page! Watch out for them.

JUANA: It was a good morning. We didn't have a full crew, but we had Ronnie, Stephanie and Jacob. Oh, and we had Connor too. Connor is a new employee, who started last Friday. I hope Connor makes it. I always tell everyone how hard it is to work here and how it's not for everybody. You have to really like what you are doing. He was here on Tuesday to help us with the kennels. Jacob was the walker of the day. I got pictures of Jacob walking our dogs and also of Ronnie, Stephanie and Connor working in kennels.
BILL: The spiders couldn't have bitten the dogs or they would be sick. Maybe black widow spiders don't bother the dogs, if they don't bump into them. We'd better do another search for spiders.
JUANA: There are a lot more spiders than we normally have, so we will have to do another search.
next week. He wants to extend it to every two weeks. He wants us to take a video of us feeding James and send it to him next week. Right now, he is planning to see him in two weeks. So far, he is doing very well. He still has a feeding tube and that's how we give him his medicine. He's still eating and his food isn't as watery. He's holding his food down. He's starting to gain weight and Dr. Lay thinks he is out of the woods.
BILL: David put up a piece on big dog James on our website explaining the whole procedure. We should call him, "Big dog James." He is three years old.

Each side prepares for battle, and each side believes that they have the power of Exile on their side. Ades sends in the provincal fleets of nations they have annexed in as the first wave, but they get oblitereted by the Glacies' vanguards. However, the vanguards get largely destroyed by Ades' new weapons as Fam arrives too late to warn them. After Glacies' ground-based anti-air weapons are destroyed, the Glacies' ruling council falls back to their final defense: using the power of their Exile, which is buried in the ground. In response, Luscinia calls on Liliana so that he can use her exile in a counter attack. Meanwhile, Fam heads towards a Sky Pirate base to refuel, only to find it destroyed. After salvaging fuel, she rushes toward Kartoffel to warn them.
So it looks like the next episode we're going to see the result of when an immovable object meets and irresistible force as two Exiles will face off against each other. Of course, it's possible that Exiles are programmed not to attack each other, but if not, the battle may come down to which side knows how to use the Exiles better.
Meanwhile, it seems that Fam and Giselle have discovered evidence of yet another new Ades weapon: this one a ship that can fly higher than any other known battleship. The Sky Pirates kept their bases up high in order to keep out of the reach of these ships, but they are now in danger if that is no longer the case.
Meanwhile, Vasant really is beginning to doubt whether what Ades is doing is right, and we'll see if she starts openly voicing that opinion in front of Sara Augusta soon.
I also find it somewhat suspicious that Luscinia sent in the provincial fleets in first, seemingly to know full well that they were going to get obliterated. It seemed like this was more of an attempt to eliminate an internal security risk – by destroying the fleets of the nations Ades had annexed – than it was anything else.
