Show Notes
1:47 - Design
- Collect all assets from your client
- Logo
- Brand guidelines
- List of likes and dislikes
- Create initial look and feel
- Don't show client too early—they can be distracted by little unfinished things
- Back up the "whys" of what you did. Otherwise, it's just a pretty picture and and the client only thinks about it in terms of taste. Remember, you are the expert they hired, so it's not totally subjective—you have the expertise and you need to flex that.
- This button is teal because it's your call to action—this is the button that makes you money so we want to highlight that
- Grey text on white background is hard to read—you'll be leaving people out if you do this.
- When possible, draw circles or golden ratio lines around everything ;)
- Be prepared for non-standard feedback
- E.g. this feels cloudy, can it look more sunny? Please make it pop, etc.
- Don't get offended by feedback on creative work
- Clients didn't go to art school and don't know about good feedback.
- Clients will ignore all finished aspects of a design and only focus on the one minor thing that's incorrect.
- Revisions
17:58 - Development
- Clear requirements make development much easier.
- Sometimes this starts at the same time or in the process of design.
- Only show dev progress if client is capable of understanding dev process.
- Showing a developed site too early can cause clients to worry about visual aspects that aren't yet in line with the design.
- Showing to early is also a recipe for a feedback list of things you already know.
- Give regular progress updates, as previously established. Make it happen on a schedule so expectations are set and so you won't forget. Stick to your timeline!
- Clients don't care about technical jargon.
- Don't tell clients about Gatsby/React as much as telling them about the benefits, how fast the site is, etc.
23:48 - Feedback and revisions
- Feedback is done in revisions or rounds.
- For smaller projects, have your client email (one email) a list of feedback.
- For larger projects, and more technical clients, use bug tracking software, such as Github issues, Trello, etc.
- Write down everything, and then have a follow-up call to discuss the feedback.
30:08 - Deployment
- Get your client to pay for domains and hosting.
- Make sure their old website has everything off of it, or host the website somewhere else.
- If you're moving servers, best to just point the A records at the new server.
- If changing nameservers for DNS, make sure the client doesn't have email or any other apps on that server that will be nuked or broken when moving.
- Many clients use their server to uploaded PDFs and other files that may still need to be accessible.
- If you are changing URL structure, you'll need to be aware of any redirects.
- Backup strategies
- Restoration strategies
40:05 - Handoff
- Create a video detailing how to do each thing
- Don't give more options than they need in the back end.
- Do in-person training when possible.
- Only teach them the things that are important for their day to day usage.
44:28 - Bug fixes and support
- Very common for clients with wrong idea of project guidelines to want to add on at the end of a project.
- Not about adding new, non-established features.
- Emergency bugs require an emergency response if they are your fault
- Set expectations and be careful what you promise.
48:03 - What to do when things go to shit
- There should be a trail of communication leading up to things going awry.
- Project is behind.
- Product is not met with acceptance.
- Client isn't paying.
- When to fire your client.

Road trip, Yucatan, Mexico – I was driving from the Hacienda San Francisco de Tzacalha to the Hacienda Temozon a Starwood Luxury Collection. I was excited, as I was moving from one beautiful place to another. However I would have never thought that the journey would have been as much fascinating as the destination. I keep being surprised by this land. It was difficult to explain in words why I was so enthused about what I was seeing and so I though i would include in this article the most representative shots I took during my road trip. I hope you will enjoy it. Most of the time visual communication is much better than words.
Now, here below a precious town however, there is a small detail that you must forgive me! I cannot recall nor find out the name! Can you believe that? Probably I was so busy taking pictures that I totally forgot to write down the name and I didn't manage to find it not even with the help of my friend Mr Google! so sorry, but isn't it a beauty!? if you happen to pass by and get the name, please let me know. You could tell it has just been through a face lift, at least the main square, huge. with a basketball court, benches, a huge space and a beautiful church, as you can see in the next few pictures. it's right before reaching Hocaba'
And then we proceed further. to Hocaba'
I hope you had enjoyed your road trip with me. If you did, please don't be shy and let me know your thoughts in the comment here below, click on the little heart or share it among your friends. I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for sticking around. More exciting pictures and discoveries on the way.

I don't play Magic: the Gathering, but I like this story. Richard Garfield, who created the game, also made this special card and put it in his deck when he was playing with his girlfriend Lily Wu. When he played the card, he proposed (she accepted).
The best bit about the story is that, supposedly, it took four games for a situation to arise where he could legally play the card. A lesser man would've just shown her the card – but damn it, that wouldn't have been legal.

Today on Becca's Books, I'm thrilled to be welcoming the fantastic Jane Corry to the blog. I'm delighted to be kicking off the blog tour for Jane's novel, My Husband's Wife, with my review of this riveting novel and an interview with Jane Corry, both of which I hope you'll enjoy reading!
Author Interview
Jane, with the publication of your Penguin debut, My Husband's Wife, fast approaching (May 26th 2016), tell us how you're feeling.
First of all, thank you so much for asking me to take part in your wonderful blog. I am really excited about My Husband's Wife because it is so different from anything I've written before. It's very dark and sinister at times. Yet it's also a love story about three people who just want to find love - only to discover the horrors when everything goes wrong. I keep telling family and close friends that they might be rather shocked by some scenes. I was taken by surprise myself when the story wrote itself in my head.
There is a certain buzz about your debut novel, and that fact that you've actually worked in a prison yourself. What was that like? Is there any one experience that remains with you?
Prison was both addictive and also scary. It's hard to explain why unless you're actually working there, day in and day out, with men who have committed headline crimes. When I stopped to think about it, I got nervous. But to be honest, I was so involved in writing stories with my men that I often forgot what they'd done until I left for the day. I'd then drive home to my teenage son, looking at people on the streets and thinking 'I've been in prison all day while they've led normal lives'. One experience which remains with me is coming in one day and being told that one of the men had just murdered another.
Where did the idea for My Husband's Wife come from? It's such an intriguing title, strange too. It certainly caught my eye from just the first glance.
I wanted to explore the relationships in a modern extended family. People often presume that first and second wives shouldn't get on. But what if one needed something from the other? What is it like to know that another woman is now living with a man whom you'd loved with for many years? What can that make you do under stress? How do we really define a 'good' or 'bad' person? Add a dollop of crime and you get a plot with a difference. I also like to take readers down one path and change direction. Several times! Hence the title.
If you had to choose three words to describe your debut, which would you choose?
Unexpected. Contradictory. Soul-searching.
I read in your author bio that your work within the prison 'wormed its way' into your debut. How so?
I originally started with the idea of exploring a relationship between two woman and the husband they both know (at different times of their lives). But even though I've finished my three year term as writer in residence of a prison, I can't banish it from my head. I am also a life judge for the Koestler Awards which are given to men and women writers and artists in prisons and mental institutions. So I am still very involved with prison life. That's why Joe, my criminal character, just knocked on my door during the first chapter and slipped in.
You could call it 'breaking and entering'.
Have you always been interested in crime? How did you come to work in the prison itself?
If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd be writing about crime, I'd never have believed you. I started out as a journalist and prefer to write about what I know. Then my first marriage broke up and, in the same month, I lost my regular weekly freelance column for a woman's magazine because the editor left. Although I had maintenance from my first husband, this was a big financial blow to my income. So I had to find a job outside the home after over twenty years. Then a neighbour advised me to look in The Guardian media job ads and there it was. 'Wanted! Writer in residence for high security prison'. I didn't want the job but needed the money. Once there, however, I was hooked.
In regards to your writing, how much research would you say went into My Husband's Wife?
A great deal! I went to enormous lengths to check the legal side was right. My old prisoner governor read it and the Law Society also put me in touch with a lawyer who did the same. I happen to know a retired judge and he kindly looked at it too. Oh and I contacted a pathologist who, despite juggling her own career and small children, made time for late night chats along the lines of 'Could someone die this way?' I also got in touch with the National Autistic Society for reasons which become clear in the novel.
Do you have any favourite thriller/suspense writers of your own?
When I was about 12, my mother introduced me to Josephine Tey. I loved the intrigue. I also like authors who 'play with your mind'. Maggie O'Farrell is a favourite too.
Tell us a little bit about your characters in My Husband's Wife?
I purposefully created a cast of different personalities. Lily, my female lawyer, seems good but has a hidden agenda. Ed, her new husband is an artist. He might seem self-centred but hasn't had an easy life. Carla is one of those little girls who is bursting to grow up and cause havoc. And Joe is the kind of dangerous criminal who will do anything for those he loves.
Can you relate to any of them at all?
There are parts of me in Lily. Like her, I've had my challenges in life. And the two of us had to tread that fine line between being professional and wanting to do good in prison. I also paint (like Ed).
When Penguin got in touch with you about My Husband's Wife, how did you feel?
When my agent rang to say that Penguin was interested, I was in the middle of packing for a 60th wedding anniversary in our family. My husband was telling me not to take so much (story of my life) and we were also up against the clock with a long drive ahead from the south west to London. I thought 'that's nice' but I refused to allow myself to get excited because it seemed too good to be true. Then my agent rang an hour later to ask if I could meet Katy Loftus, the Penguin editor who had picked up my manuscript. How about that evening, just before the family party? Because we were short of time, she was actually prepared to come to the hotel we were staying at. That's when my heart started beating. From the minute I went down to reception and saw Katy, I felt as though I'd met up with an old friend. She 'got' my characters immediately.
How much time would you say you spend each day? Do you have daily writing goals?
I'm a morning writer: I get up at 7am, run the dog, have breakfast with my husband and am at my desk by 9.30. I write about 2000 to 3000 words in the morning. It's not so much my goal as what I do. Then I revise in the afternoon and do emails etc. For a break, I'll have another walk and or cycle round to my daughter who has just had a baby. She and her husband moved near us so I can be a hands-on Grannie. My own grandmother was a youngish grandmother too and she was local as well. In today's day and age when families aren't always near each other, I feel very lucky. I also go up to London twice a month (I used to live there) and write in the Quiet carriage on my youngest son's cast off laptop which is much lighter than mine and plastered with music stickers. I joke that the train is my second office.
If My Husband's Wife was to be made into a movie, which song would you choose for the opening credits?
'I will survive' by Gloria Gaynor: my mother, who died young, used to say that I'm quietly determined and deceptively tough. Like my characters.
How can readers expect to feel when reading My Husband's Wife?
Intrigued. Keen to know what's going to happen next. Misled. A sneaking sympathy for characters who've behaved badly. And an insight into how families can push the boundaries to the limits.
Is your next novel currently being worked on? Is it too early to share any sneaky news about it?
I've just finished the first draft and it's so exciting. I can't say too much about it except that it's about three sisters who set off to school one bright May morning and only two of them survive the day.
What are your plans for publication day?
A swim in the sea, however cold. A picnic on our local beach. A cuddle with my family. Happy emails to and from my agent Kate Hordern and editor Katy Loftus. And interviews with lovely people like you! (Arranged by the fabulous Penguin team, including my wonderful publicist Annie Hollands.)
Are readers to expect a twisting, turning plot within My Husband's Wife?
That sums it up perfectly!
Lastly, is there anything that you're hoping readers will take away from reading My Husband's Wife?
The thought that life is unexpected. You never know what is going to happen. Or that a certain person is the man, woman or child that you thought they were.
Jane, I can't thank you enough for being here today on Becca's Books, and taking the time to chat with me. I wish you nothing but the best for the big day and really hope My Husband's Wife flies from the shelves!
Thank you so much, Becca. It's been a real pleasure.
There's a fine line between love... and murder.
When lawyer Lily marries Ed, she's determined to make a fresh start. To leave the secrets of the past behind.
But then she meets Joe. A convicted murderer who Lily is strangely drawn to. Who she will soon be willing to risk anything for.
But is he really innocent?
And who is she to judge?
When I was first contacted about joining the blog tour for Jane Corry's My Husband's Wife, I couldn't say yes fast enough. The cover, coupled with those dangerous few sentences, had my mind going frantic with all sorts of daring and dark possibilities. It's only recently that I've took such a keen liking to crime thrillers, having always been a firm lover of romance, but the promise of the blurb and even the author's riveting background heightened my anticipation and made me all the more eager to get stuck in. It turns out the wait, and my excitement, were completely worth it.
As soon as the novel begins, Jane Corry presents the reader with a radio broadcast announcing the death of Ed, and from the blurb, the reader is able to put two and two together and reach the conclusion that Ed is Lily's husband. Beginning the novel with such a bang really did it for me. Immediately I wanted to know how he'd come to die, who was behind it and, most importantly, why. So many scenarios ran through my mind, scenarios which I had to quickly pat down in order to not get ahead of myself. What I wanted was for the author to lead me from the present into the past, and then back again, bringing me sumptuously up to date at the end, which Jane did in the most captivating and satisfying of ways.
I adored the way this novel was told. Jane places the news broadcast about Ed's death right at the very beginning (2015), and then story deepens as we're taken back to 2000, fifteen years earlier. Essentially, what Jane does here is build up to the moment of the broadcast that we're greeted by first. Not only are we switching between the past and present day, but we're also reading in Lily's first person narrative and then Carla's third person narrative. It's unusual for me to enjoy a novel written in such a way, if I'm going to be truthful, mainly because I find it hard to keep up with where the characters are at, but in My Husband's Wife, I really don't think there could have been a more perfect way for such a spellbinding tale to be told. It was effective, had me hooked, and I couldn't bare to put it down.
Jane's characters within My Husband's Wife were superbly crafted, I have to say. From Lily the lawyer and Ed the artist, to Carla the little girl, each of them had a secret, a story to be told in the most delicious of ways. Lily is who we meet first. Lily is a criminal lawyer, just back off her honeymoon with new husband Ed. The case she's about to embark on, without her even realising, will change the course of Lily's life forever. What I really enjoyed about this novel was the way Jane peppered Lily's chapters with not only the criminal side of things, but the domestic side of things too. I was able to pick up on a strange sort of distance between Lily and Ed, but couldn't put my finger on why. I had to wait patiently for the truth to be revealed but what a glorious wait it was. Lily's new focus on Joe, a murderer who desires freedom despite having been found guilty, widens the distance between her and Ed even more. It's fair to say that Lily becomes fascinated with Joe and his case, and who can blame her? He's an intimidating man, but also, bizarrely, She's a hard-worker, clever too, and what followed that first morning was absolutely gripping. The moments of tense silence as she and Joe looked at each other over the small table in the room they'd meet were incredibly written, so much so I could have been sat in that very room myself. These characters felt so real and vivid to me, their separate stories hard-hitting and powerful.
When the first chapter change arrived and I found myself with Carla, I wasn't quite sure of how Jane Corry was going to incorporate her within the story. When we first meet Carla she's a little girl. She's always been desperate to fit in, but with her Italian heritage, found it hard. I found Carla to be a strange character at times, but in an entirely good way. There were things that she'd do that had me wondering whether there was something much cleverer and darker hidden beneath the surface, and if perhaps given the right power, Carla could actually cause some destruction. As the novel progressed, I adored watching Carla develop as a character. I went through the entire book thinking to myself 'where is the author possibly going to take this?' and when Jane veered me off the course I thought I was following, it knocked me completely off of my feet.
There was so much depth to this novel, so much weight, and so much provided by the author to think about too. Lines were crossed, people were pushed, boundaries were broken, and in all honesty, it completely blew me away. Like unwrapping the strings around a parcel, one by one, I couldn't wait to finally reach that seductive middle. Where there were questions, Jane provided the answers, and I finished reading My Husband's Wife feeling entirely satisfied. The pages between the first and last were absolutely packed with all of those things that make a fantastic novel. The mystery, the intrigue, the shock, the horror! It really did have it all for me. I didn't know who to trust. I didn't know who to believe. And I didn't know for certain who was safe. Secrets were unearthed, those of which I had no inkling could have existed, and fates were tangled. This is, without a doubt, one of my top reads of 2016. The only thing I can think of to say to end my review with is that I cannot wait for Jane's next novel. I believe readers are in for a treat with this author, myself firmly include.
Becca's Books is awarding My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry with five stars. When I wasn't reading this book, I was thinking about it. And when I was thinking about it, I was compelled to pick it right back up again. A must-read for any readers out there who enjoy a weighty, thought-provoking and surprising novel, with characters who claw their way beneath your skin and refuse to leave. Massive thanks to Katy Loftus for providing me with a review copy of My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry, and for inviting me along to be part of the blog tour, which I feel is going to be a massive success. A one-of-a-kind novel, it will remain with me for quite some time.
About the Author
Jane Corry is a writer and journalist, and teaches creative writing all over the world. She was previously a tutor of Creative Writing at Oxford University and recently she spent three years working as the writer-in-residence at a high-security prison for men.
In her own words: 'I had always thought prisons were terrifying places for people who had done terrible things. But after my first marriage ended, I found myself working in one, and discovered a world I could not have imagined without actually being there. A world in which no one was quite who they seemed. A world that I found strangely addictive - so much so that it wormed its way into this book.'
Keep up with the rest of the blog tour!

Army officers welcome new recruiting policy; urges Lumads to join military service
January 27, 2010 11:28 am
DAVAO CITY, Jan. 27 Officers of the Philippine Army here welcomed the new policy of five feet minimum height requirement for incoming soldiers, giving a chance for more qualified applicants and even the Lumads or indigenous peoples to join the military service.
Maj. Gen. Carlos Holganza, commander of the 10th Infantry Division, said with the new policy the military can now accommodate more Lumads into the service.
With this new scheme, we can now take more of our Lumad brothers into the Armed Forces and help us in our campaign to win peace, Holganza said.
He said the government can easily provide the indigenous communities with jobs thru their integration in the military service.
The link of our Lumad brothers to the community will spell out the outcome of our peace efforts in the countryside particularly here in Davao region and SOCSKSARGEN (South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Saangani and General Santos City), Holganza said.
Capt. Emmanuel Garcia, spokesperson of the 10th ID based in Camp Panacan here, said the new policy is based on a memorandum signed by Defense Secretary Norberto Gonzales dated Nov. 18, 2009, setting the minimum height requirement of five feet regardless of gender.
Garcia said the change in the Armed Forces regulation on the height limit, which takes effect this year, is a bid to accommodate aspiring soldiers who are not so lucky with their height but are equally competent or possess the skills needed by the service.
He said the new height limit is seen to benefit the indigenous peoples whose average height is a little below the average.
Meanwhile, Garcia said the registration for the Philippine Army Aptitude Test and Battery (PAATB) for applicants in Davao and SOCSKSRGEN regions is now ongoing at S.I.R., Bucana and Matina in Davao City which started last Jan. 18 until Jan. 27.
He said examination will be on Feb. 2-3 at the University of Mindanao, Matina, Davao City. (PNA) FFC/JLC/lvp

It's lovely i have to think that before I left to travel this year (I left late in winter) she might have been right down the street from me in Cambridge, degenerating towards death.
I was born in Cambridge Hospital and she died there, in Spaulding right next door.
That's the one spot in Cambridge that I retain any sort of power or safety. My birth place. The rest of the area is now completely evil and sold
Out to whatever living hell the north east has become.
It saddens me that she didnt live to see my completed project. It angers me that all she saw of me was probably an arrest bulletin that had me charged with writing racist language on the side of a McDonalds.
No matter. She defended me for years against the rest of that evil family but knwimg her talent for central control she also made me out to be a weak link and didnt do me any favors either.
She gave me some amazg DNA and made the world a happpy safe place when my Boomer single mother simply couldn't.
It may bw best Im seperated from people who would have made this project impossible.

Product videos for e-Commerce are extremely effective in not only enhancing the online shopping experience, but also in turning a casual browser into a lifelong customer. Here's how you can use videos to leverage sales for your e-Commerce store.
Why Are Videos So Effective for e-Commerce?
Getting shoppers through the virtual door is no longer enough. What can you do to increase sales and help consumers hit the "Add to Cart" button and successfully complete the check-out process? Product videos!
A recent post by Martin Zhel, "How Product Videos Increase e-Commerce Conversion Rates", he carefully breaks down the benefits and best practices of product videos. Below is a brief overview.
Better SEO Ranking
Not only do videos help with SEO in general, but they also help to decrease your bounce rate, increases the amount of time someone spends on your site, and attracts more high-quality backlinks and social shares.
Sharable and Viewable
People are more likely share a link to a video than to a PDF or text description, which is a known fact. In addition, people are more attracted to clicking on a video thumbnail then to non-visual material. It takes less effort and concentration to watch a video then to read a description.
Better Communication
Video takes away any ambiguity about a complicated or intricate product by helping to highlight key features and functionality better than any text description can. A 30-second video is equivalent to a half a page of text or more and can provide more information in less time.
Still Not Convinced?
People between the ages of 12-20 in first-world countries are far more media-savvy than previous generations. This may seem like a no brainer, but that amounts to about 50% of the U.S. population, and is a demographic with an estimated purchasing power of $150 Billion.
Combine that with comScore's data that 64-85% of customers are more likely to purchase a product after watching a product video, and it's apparent that if you didn't care about product videos before, you definitely need to start caring now!
For more information on the importance of video for your e-Commerce site, check out our company, Sellpoints, and their in-depth blog post on the subject.

Factoad: noun. A fact applied in the completely wrong place. (Like when people call a toad a frog. Get it? No?)
Ah, my boys. The sponges. They absorb seemingly massive amounts of information. You know, when they want to. Lately they have been all about nature and animals.
I'll be honest, I don't remember which little monkey this statement came from, but I think it was Philosopher Child. Either way, it goes right up there with other epic statements.
"Did you know that you would stay warm in winter because you have a layer of fat?"
I explained that I'm not a bear, but deep down, well... ouch.

The Day of Small Things
by Emily Dezurick-Badran Read author interview April 15, 2019
I work as an oncological radiologist. My grandparents, my jeddo and teita, wanted a surgeon, but I am what I am, and I like my job. Every week I beam small doses of radiation into bodies. A few of those bodies are robust, but most are sick. Some shrivel. Many leak or shed. No matter how they are, I like to tell the bodies and the people inside them, "You're doing great." And I'm not just saying that as a professional courtesy — I really believe it. I think it's necessary to love things the way you find them instead of how you wish they were. Like how I love my sister, even though when I call her she answers her phone, "What," instead of, "Hello?" My sister is a lawyer, and I don't think she's ever told anyone that they're doing great. But she's survived because of her anger, and I think that deserves some kind of admiration.
At work there's a white woman named Sue who brings me fruit. "I keep getting these organic fruit baskets," she tells me. "All the time I feel like puking — what do I want with this fruit?" Gripping my arm, she says, "You have to laugh." But she doesn't.
Sue's given me twenty-one apples, eleven oranges, seven pears, and one secret. The secret was that not everything about being sick is bad. "Most of it just sucks," she said. "But all of a sudden I'm seeing the world. Like when I got my cataracts removed. I got my diagnosis and everything BAM, pulled into focus. I never realized it's so beautiful out here. I mean, in the world. I didn't know it was like this." She laughs. "You must think I'm a nut."
"If you're a nut, then so am I," I say. Then I tell Sue about my mom's jewelry box. Before jeddo and teita got us full-time, my mother used to shoot crystal meth between her toes and take me and my sister on foraging trips through downtown. "God's in everything," she'd tell us, jittery hand holding up a shattered fragment of a car brake-light, half a plastic locket, the concaved torso of an empty cigarette carton. She kept the best things in her old jewelry box, and we spent hours looking at the treasures sleeping in the tiny drawers.
I tell Sue what my mom told me: that there are a million ways to worship this world. If you look hard enough, the miracle's right in front of your face.
The clinic is brash with Christmas. Beside the automatic door stands the silver tree with its pox of ball ornaments. Santa figurines crowd a mini-Menorah on the receptionist's desk. The plundered windows of the staff room advent calendar tell me it's Christmas Eve.
"Radiologists sure know how to party," Sue deadpans, taking in the office decor. She tells me she's culturally Jewish, "so Merry Nothing," and gives me a furry kiwi and a small green apple, hard as a stone. Today's her last treatment, and she's gussied up like it's a party, done her makeup and hair, worn a tweed jacket veined with glitter threads.
In the radiation room, Sue places her jacket and shirt on a chair, pulls on the gown and arranges herself on the curved bed. Her fingers tickle the silver tassels of the Christmas garland I've taped along the bed's edges.
"Is this stuff plastic?" she asks.
"Has to be," I say. I move her arm slightly to the left, to better see the blue freckles tattooed on her breast. "It lasts forever."
"There must be a million tons of it in garbage dumps all over the world," she says.
"Cockroaches will outlive me and tinsel will outlive them. You've got to laugh." This time she does.
After a few more minutes under the neon grid, I tell Sue she can put her arms down. We're finished.
"It's weird to say, but I'll miss this," she says.
I don't know if she means the being sick or the getting well, or just the this-ness of the moment. But whatever she means, I can tell she really means it. I mean it when I say, "Me too."
I live on my own in a small but pleasant apartment on the fourth floor of four floors. I chose the apartment because the living room has a wall-length window that on clear evenings gives a good view of the sunset.
Tomorrow, on what some people think of as a holy day, I'll call my sister and she'll say "Merry Christmas" in almost the same tone she says, "What." Tomorrow I will think of jeddo and teita and my mother, who are all in one way or another gone.
Tonight, I take Sue's apple out of my purse and put it on the ledge of the living room window, where it can see the sun waning toward the lip of the horizon. I ate Sue's oranges and pears, but I kept every apple she brought. Now this new apple joins twenty-one others.
In the last pink light, I bend down and examine Sue's apples. A few are fresh and plump. Many are yellowed, spotted. The oldest have withered into small brown fists that remind me of teita's arthritic hands.
I smile at the apples. In time they will be dust, and even then I'll still love them.
"You're beautiful," I say, patting them gently with my fingertips. "You're doing great."

EDITOR'S NOTE: We are tracking Storm Alberto. Although we are always available 24/7, we had scheduled a lighter staff this past weekend and today due to the holiday. Today, however, with the threat proposed by Storm Alberto, we have put our entire Critical Response Team (code-named CyberAssist™) on standby to help both businesses and individuals secure and protect their "Internet of Things". Our Certified Experts can properly protect your equipment and secure all of your important data, even though they are hundreds of miles away!
The staff at CyberLoft take natural disasters very seriously. And whether it's just heavy rain, a high-category hurricane, or an erupting volcano, these are the times you need the right partner with the skills to come in and simply secure Everything Tech!
In the past, in times of natural disasters, we only had to worry about a server and some workstations at work, and maybe a desktop or two at home. With today's level of technology, the quantity and quality of the technology we have to secure in times of natural disaster has increased exponentially.
As the-one-and-only CyberMan, I carry a laptop, tablet, smartphone and wearable (smartwatch) everywhere I go. Carrying your technology with you as you evacuate seems like all you need to do, but that is just not the case. Humans do not always think logically in times of disaster, and more could happen to your technology if not properly prepared for transport.
Back at our offices we have servers, workstations, copiers/scanners, audio-visual equipment, GPS equipment, smart TVs, along with virtually every smart device imaginable. Were we not prepared for a natural disaster of any magnitude, even the smallest flood or disaster (or, as previously mentioned, a faulty or accidental activation of fire sprinklers) would cripple our ability to conduct business. CyberLoft's Disaster Preparedness and Response Policy allows us to have up to 4 feet of standing water in our facility before even affecting in-house (generated) power, or coming near any of our technology. We like to say, "the floor is for dust, not technology." If any particular disaster threatens to exceed our existing Preparedness measures, then our Response is then to disconnect, pack and ship everything to a secure off-site location. If we are expected to be without our facilities for an extended time, then we pack, ship and reconnect our domain (to the extent possible) at a predetermined remote location.
it is absolutely vital that businesses and individuals are completely prepared for the worst situation. CyberLoft's Critical Response Team, CyberAssist™ is always ready to help your business develop and implement an appropriate Disaster Preparedness and Response Policy so that when any disaster strikes, you and your business are ready for the worst.
Don't risk damage to your technology (equipment) or data. Call CyberLoft Now!
If you are even possibly in the path of Storm Alberto, call us now at (404) 919-7555 and speak to one of our professional online tech support and remote computer repair center technicians who make up our Critical Response Team. They will skillfully help you through a proven process that ensures you don't lose any of your devices or any data. For businesses in areas that are assured targets of disaster, we can provide pickup, packing and delivery of your technology to off-site storage facilities or completely relocate your primary servers and systems to a safe location and reconnect them so you can continue business as usual.

Explaining Viking Expansion
By Darrin M. Cox
Master's Thesis, West Virginia University, 2002
Abstract: Current scholarship regarding Scandinavia has neglected to give all but a cursory glance at the factors involved in Viking expansion. This thesis studies and explains employment opportunities, political motives, and societal norms as separate, individual motives that perpetuated Scandinavian migration, conquest, and adventure from the eighth through the eleventh centuries AD. Afterwards, these investigations are used to describe the various and sometimes conflicting forces of expansion that led to the formation of the Danelaw in England circa AD 870. Over time, the eventual adoption of Christianity and feudal relationships within Scandinavia would bring expansion as well as the Viking Age to a close.
Introduction: Modern conventions of history dictate that the Viking Age began with the infamous raid of the Lisdisfarne monastery in AD 793 as reported in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This event signaled the starting point of a time when "heathen" men from the north, who over time became collectively known as "Vikings," suddenly spilled into the world, launching a three hundred year barrage of devastation on the towns, countryside, and religious centers of medieval Europe. This age lasted until AD 1066, when Harald Godwinson defeated Norwegian King Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Viking influence, whether for good or evil, spread from their homelands in Scandinavia, across the North Atlantic, through the Carolingian Empire, down the rivers of modern day Russia, and into the Byzantine Empire.
The image of the Viking has changed considerably over the years however. Due largely to the acknowledgement of recent scholarship that Scandinavians were the first Europeans to set foot on the North American continent, Viking studies have become increasingly popular in America. These investigations are revealing that Scandinavians were also traders, politicians, farmers, and adventurers instead of just the savage, bloodthirsty thieves reported in contemporary Christian documents. However, while these studies have managed to reverse a good deal of the negative press levied against the Vikings by writers of the time, surprisingly little work has been done to document why Scandinavians were pushing out beyond their boundaries to such a great extent and why it happened so rapidly. Unfortunately, when researchers do give explanations, they are brief and mentioned only in passing.

American Airlines files for Chapter 11 protection
American Airlines' parent company AMR Corporation has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Shares in the airline plunged immediately they resumed trading on Tuesday and closed 81% down. They are now worth 31 cents each.
The company expects the airline to continue to operate as normal throughout the bankruptcy process.
Speculation about AMR's financial position surfaced in recent weeks after cost-cutting negotiations failed.
AMR said agreements with its workforce forced it to spend $600m (£384m) more than other airlines on staff costs.
The airline employs 78,000 staff worldwide and operates out of five major US hubs.
Chapter 11 refers to a section of the US Bankruptcy Code. It protects a company from its creditors, giving it time to reorganise its debts or sell parts of the business.
American Airlines was the only one of the major US airlines operating international routes not to file for bankruptcy after the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Its competitors have successfully used bankruptcy to restructure their labour contracts and cut costs.
Changes at the board
The company also announced that Gerard Arpey, the Chief Executive of AA has retired and would be replaced by the company's president, Thomas Horton.
Mr Horton said the board had unanimously decided to file for bankruptcy on Monday night.
He announced that American would be looking to change its employees' terms and conditions. "We plan to initiate further negotiations with all of our unions to reduce our labour costs to competitive levels," he said.
David Bates, president of the Allied Pilots Association conceded that employment terms would change. "The 18-month timeline allotted for restructuring will almost certainly involve significant changes to the airline's business plan and to our contract."
Mr Horton insisted that the company would emerge in more robust health: "I am confident American will emerge even stronger as a global leader known for excellence and innovation."
He added that during the restructuring the airline would reduce its flight schedule in the US "modestly" with a corresponding reduction in staff.
Mr Horton said no single factor had led to the decision to file for Chapter 11 but the company needed to cut costs. He pointed to weak demand and high fuel prices, which have risen more than 50% in the last five years.
British Airways
British Airways operates an international partnership with AA on transatlantic routes and are both part of the One World alliance.
American also has a joint venture with Japan Airlines.
British Airways' parent company IAG said in a statement: "We have every confidence in the future of American Airlines. We are pleased they are taking this step which shows commitment and determination.
The statement added: "Our joint business, which is a revenue sharing agreement, continues to operate as usual."
Reversal of fortunes
American Airlines was the world's biggest airline three years ago but has since fallen behind Delta and United after they bought out other airlines. Delta filed for bankruptcy in 2005 and United was one of the first to do so in 2002.
Unlike other major US airlines, AA has not returned to profit in the last two years. AMR Corporation lost $162m in the third quarter of 2011 and has reported losses in 14 of the last 16 quarters.
The global economic crisis has had a huge impact on the airline industry in general. Ashley Steel, transport expert at KPMG, thinks travel companies will have to adapt as businesses and individuals cut costs and fly less. "This will create more pressure on governments and regulators to allow airlines to merge cross border," he said.

Bryant-Providence Preview
Providence will be without the Big East's second-leading scorer on Saturday and maybe the preseason conference player of the year as well.
The No. 15 Friars won't have Ben Bentil, and Kris Dunn's status is uncertain as they try to improve to 6-0 all-time against visiting Bryant.
Bentil averages 17.7 points but left Wednesday's 66-51 win over Boston College with an ankle injury after scoring 16 points in 16 minutes. The club's leading rebounder with 7.2 per game, Bentil was reportedly seen walking on crutches on campus and is not listed as a starter in the Friars' official game notes.
Neither is Dunn, who is third in the Big East with an average of 16.8 points and was named player of the year in the preseason. He did not play in the second half Wednesday due to a virus and his status is in doubt.
A third regular starter, Ryan Fazekas, missed the BC game with an illness and is also uncertain.
Quadree Smith and Kyron Cartwright started the second half for the Friars and could receive their first starts. Sophomore Jalen Lindsey started in place of Fazekas and grabbed a career-high nine rebounds.
"It was survival mode where we implored `next man up,'" coach Ed Cooley said. "Guys want opportunities and they got it."
All the shuffling made the victory especially satisfying for the Friars, who got a season-low four points from Dunn. They limited the Eagles to 37.7 percent shooting - the lowest mark for a Providence opponent.
"That was more of a culture win than a team win," Cooley said. "It could be our best win of the year. Everyone is going to look at the Arizona win or beating Illinois or winning at the University of Rhode Island. This was an incredible win for us."
Providence (9-1) may not be too concerned about rushing players back Saturday with a week off after what figures to be a mismatch. The Friars have captured the previous five meetings by an average of 27.6 points.
Bryant (2-8) has dropped seven straight, shooting 34.5 percent overall and 18.7 percent on 3-pointers, and doesn't resemble the team that posted three straight winning seasons prior to this one. The Bulldogs are statistically one of college basketball's worst teams in numerous categories and have lost by at least 30 points four different times.
They fell behind 26-9 in Tuesday's 77-55 defeat to Army. Freshman Nisre Zouzoua was a bright spot with 17 points while Dan Garvin and Marcel Pettway each had double-doubles.
The Bulldogs are 0-6 all-time against ranked teams, losing by an average of 31.0 points. They were crushed 113-75 at then-No. 5 Duke on Nov. 14.
The Friars have no players left who played in their 81-49 rout of the Bulldogs the last time these teams met three seasons ago. Three Bryant players are still on the team in Shane McLaughlin, Curtis Oakley Jr. and Andrew Scocca - who combined for 29 scoreless minutes in that contest.

When you looked at the title of the entry, you probably smelled something was fishy. An editor on a 360 site that hates Halo? That is somewhat true and somewhat false. In fact, I hated Halo for most of the time I've owned a 360 and been interested in the 360. Being a new 360 owner as of July, I never considered playing Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, or Halo 3. Sounds like blasphemy yes, but it is the truth.
A Change Of Heart....
Halo 3 didn't rock my socks off....it was better than Halo 2
The game is too short. Multiplayer is snaillike without any sprint button to run. The game seems to just crawl compared to better fps outthere. The graphics were very jaggie and could have been way better for a next gen game that had more then enought time in developemnet. I was really disappointed and took my copy of Halo3 back within a week of purchasing it. I just think that the whole Halo experience is so overrated and will be playing other fps that move a hella lot faster and look better to boot.

The first Europeans to see what is now the west coast of Canada, and the first to explore it, were Spanish naval officers and their largely Mexican crews. There are some famous names among these explorers, Bodega y Quadra who first landed on what the Spaniards call the northern cost of the Californias in 1775. There are also some who names are less well known: Perez who was the first to reach the northwest coast of American in 1774 and Narvaez, who in the year 1791 explored what is now called the Strait of Georgia. Narvaez called it Gran Canal de Nuestra Senora del Rosario. This name was too cumbersome to survive; Narvaez made an important discovery but he has been neglected in historical accounts.
Jose Maia Narvaez Gervete was born in Cadiz in 1765. He joined the Real Armada in 1782 as an unpaid apprentice. Nine moths later he was enrolled as a "qualified third pilot". It is misleading to compare ranks in the Spanish Armada with English equivalents, but a piloto was junior to an alferez, which in turn was junior to a teniente, usually considered to be the lowest rank of oficial del mar or (one might say) commissioned officer. It was not long before the seventeen year old Narvaez was in action. In October 1782, according to his service record in the Naval Museum in Madrid, his ship "joined the combined squadron commanded by His Excellency Luis de Cordova in pursuit of the English squadron and defeated it." A month after his arrival in San Blas in February 1788, Narvaez was on his way to the Aleutian Islands, as the junior officer in a store's ship name San Carlos. For the next seven years, he was involved, always as a junior officer, in all the important events of the Spanish exploration and occupation of the west coast of present day Canada.(See Early Spanish contact)
In 1789 Narvaez sailed north in the ship commanded by Esteban Joe Marinez. Their destination was Nootka, the site proposed for a Spanish settlement on the west coast of Vancouver Island. In 1790, Francisco Eliza was ordered to go to Nootka to set up the outpost; Narvaez went with him and live for the next two years on the Northern Coast. In 1791, Eliza was instructed to explore further into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which had been examined as far as the San Juan Island, east of the present City of Victoria, during the previous year. Eliza sailed into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, sending Narvaez to explore the inlets he passed on his way.
Narvaez was given command of a small schooner. Its name is given as either Santa Saturnina or Saturnina with the alias Orcasitas. The alias is one of the many names of the Viceroy of New Spain, the Count of Revilla Gigedo. Unfortunately for the historian, there were two, or possibly three different schooners with the name Saturnina, as well as another vessels called Occasitas or Horcasitas. In Eliza's instructions, in his journal, and in the journal of the pilot Pantoja, there are references to a schooner brought to Nootka in frame and assembled there. This was probably the ship used by Narvaez. Narvaez explored the present Barkley Sound on the west Coast of Vancouver Island, and joined Eliza at Cordoba (Esquimalt) when he had satisfied himself that the inlets opening into Barkley Sound were all "closed". The Spanish explorers were looking for the western entrance to the Northwest Passage; once they were satisfied that a particular inlet was "closed" they left it. Cordoba had been mapped and named by Manuel Quimper in the previous year before he turned back at the San Juan Islands.
The course of Narvaez's voyage must be inferred from the "Eliza" map dated 1791. There is no known copy of a journal or map by Narvaez. A French traveler, Duflot de Mofras, reported that he met Narvaez at his home in Guadalajara in 1840. Duflot de Mofras wrote that Narvaez showed him his maps of the 1791 voyage, but after that the maps seem to have disappeared. Narvaez must have explored the mainland side all the way, probably on the way north, reuniting along the Vancouver Island shore as far south as Portlier Pass. Probably he then re–crossed to the mainland before rejoining Eliza at Port Discovery. The only dates for this voyage are in Eliza's report, which says Narvaez arrived back on 2 July after having spent eight days in the Gulf, or "La Gran Canal de Nuestra Senora del Rosario de la Marina" as Eliza referred to it.
Eliza changed some of the names that had been assigned by Narvaez. Although the course of Narvaez's voyage is unclear, the map defines its extent. Among other features it shows two islands at the south of a wide inlet, connected by a broken shoreline. The islands were named Cepeda and Langara. (See Early Spanish contact) They are our Point Roberts and Point Grey, the latter being the western tip of the City of Vancouver. An anchorage and some sounding are shown to the west of Point Grey.
Following his return to Mexico from Nootka in 1792 Narvaez made voyages to Manila and California, then in 1795 he was involved in the last act of the Spanish government on the Canadian west coast. After Martinez had seized Meares' ship in 1789, the famous "Nootka affair" erupted. England threatened war, and Spain, having lost its alliance with Louis XVI through the French Revolution, decided to capitulate, agreeing to restore British property and pay damages to Meares.
Narvaez spent the rest of this naval career in the Department of San Blas, making voyages to California and Manila. He became an alferez de fragata in 1806. Occasionally he commanded a ship, but more often he was employed as a purser or as the captain's secretary.
The first revolutionary upheaval in New Spain started in 1810. Narvaez stayed with the Spanish side until 1819, when his Spanish service record ends. He had been in Mexico for over thirty years, with his wife who was Mexican, and he joined the revolution at about that time. When Iturbide created a Mexican navy, Narvaez joined it, retiring in 1831 at the age of sixty–six with the rank of capitan de fragata, a junior captain. His career still was not finished. He undertook to bring the map of the state of Jalisco up to date, and saw it reissued just before his death in 1840.
Narvaez did not have a meteoric career in the navies of Spain or Mexico; most of his many voyages were supply trips to the various Spanish outposts in the Caribbean and Pacific and later to Mexican California. His career was rediscover in Mexico in 1977 mainly because one of his descendants was Juan Lopez Portillo, the President of the Republic. In Canada, a street in Vancouver and a plaque mentions his name are the only remembrances of the first European to see the south shores of Metro Vancouver.

Hemp Seeds – Excellent Plant Protein Provider
Hemp seeds are the seeds of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. They are from the same species as cannabis (marijuana) but a different variety. However, they contain only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. Hemp seeds are exceptionally nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein and various minerals.
Hemp seed food products offer the following: the ideal ratio of Omega-3/Omega-6 fatty acids, all 9 essential amino acids, digestible protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin D, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
Hemp seeds are also rich in antioxidants, fibre, various minerals, and many vitamins including a hefty dose of vitamin E. They have been used to reduce dry skin and hair, help with muscle regeneration, reduce inflammation, ward off heart disease, and improve immune system function.
These nutritious and healing seeds are starting to be a favourite among vegans and health fanatics, and are often added to smoothies, cereals, oatmeal, and on top of salads.
Hemp Seeds contain Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Vitamin B9 (Folate), and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), which are all necessary for energy production in the body. Hemp Seeds also contain Vitamin E, which is rich in anti-oxidants.
Hulled Hemp Seeds are a natural source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and contain the perfect ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 of 3:1. These fatty acids can only be obtained through diet.
Hemp contains Magnesium, a vital macro-mineral that is often deficient in our diet and needed by our body for over 300 reactions and functions.
- Certified Organic
- Superfood
- Vegan-friendly
- Gluten free
- GMO & Pesticide free
- Alkaline
Add Hulled Hemp seeds to any sweet or savoury dish, shake or smoothie for an added protein packed health boost. Hemp Seeds can also be consumed on their own as a snack or blitzed to create Hemp milk.
Hemp refers to strains of cannabis sativa that have been bred specifically for fiber used for clothing and construction, oils and topical ointments, nutritional benefits, and a wide and growing variety of other purposes that don't involve intoxication.
There are different varieties of hemp — a plant grown for seed isn't necessarily the best plant for fiber.
Hemp Food Products
Hemp seeds are often sold shelled, so you can eat them right out of the package. They offer easily digestible protein and all the essential Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids needed by the human body. Hemp seeds are also rich in antioxidants, fiber, various minerals, and many vitamins including a hefty dose of vitamin E. They have been used to reduce dry skin and hair, help with muscle regeneration, reduce inflammation, ward off heart disease, and improve immune system function.
These nutritious and healing seeds are starting to be a favourite among vegans and health fanatics, and are often added to smoothies, cereals, oatmeal, and on top of salads.
Hemp seeds can be blended with water to make a healthy milk substitute, a nice option for people with nut and soy allergies, although the flavor of hemp milk is less sweet than raw almond milk or cow's milk. It can be used in baking or to make some homemade hot chocolate. You can buy hemp milk in a box, which may have added sweeteners.
Unlike the medicinal cannabis oil high in intoxicating delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, hemp seed oil is cold-pressed from hemp seeds and can be used in many recipes such as sauces, dips, spreads, marinades, and salad dressings. It is typically nutty in flavor and has a light green color. It does not give you buzz, aside from infusing your body with rich omega-3 fatty acids and the rarer 'super' polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA).
Organic Hemp Seed Oil (250ml)
Hemp protein powder is typically made by cold-milling hemp seeds. This results in a product that has less fat than hemp seeds, thus the final product has mostly the natural protein found in the seeds. Lean sources of protein are beneficial for digestion, they boost metabolism, and they promote a healthy, lean body mass. Three tablespoons of hemp protein powder contain roughly 90 calories, with only 3 grams of fat but 15 grams of protein. Some hemp protein powders are also supplemented with fiber for people looking to increase their overall fiber consumption.

You may not always have access to your favorite hemp foods, especially when you are travelling. Hemp oil supplements are a great option to continue benefiting from the nutritional value of hemp seed oil while on the go.
Hemp Body Products
Hemp seed oil can be used topically in many different ways: as a skin moisturizer, anti-wrinkle treatment, massage oil, etc. It can be used to treat eczema, acne, psoriasis, and skin inflammation. The ideal balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in hemp seed oil stimulate the skin and improve the overall function of cells, muscles, tissues, and organs. And don't forget the skin is our largest organ!
Hemp seed oil can be used directly on the skin or you can use it as a carrier oil mixed with a few drops of essential oils that also benefit the skin, such as geranium or frankincense essential oils. This makes for a great skin moisturizer that is paraben free, gluten free, and 100% vegan. You can also purchase pre-made body moisturizers enriched with hemp seed oil.
Organic Hemp Seed Oil (250ml)
As more people in the world learn about the benefits that hemp seed oil has on the skin and body, more producers are using hemp seed oil as an ingredient in their personal care products. In addition to replenishing the skin, hemp seed oil also stimulates hair growth, fortifies hair against damage, and moisturizes the scalp.

The Green That's Not Good
Not everything that's green is good. Sure, green is the color of spring, but is the green in your lawn exactly what you think it is? Look closely. What you want is green grass, not green moss.
While moss in your lawn does not kill the grass, there are several factors that can, because of its growth on your lawn. So as early as now, it is not a bad idea to do a constant check to make sure it's not moss signaling that there is some instability in the growth of your grass.
How Did They Get There?
You may wonder how your well-manicured turf can play home to these unwelcome greens. Well their existence is a good sign for you to try to discover what may be wrong in your soil or your lawn in general. You see, moss is a symptom and not the problem itself.
There are a number of environmental conditions that allow moss to thrive and spread. This prevents your grass – the green you want – from becoming established. So today, you might want to find out which factors are affecting your lawn, so you can take the necessary measures to correct the imbalances.
How Can I Help My Lawn?
As moss is a symptom, getting rid of it is just a band-aid approach to a problem that's looming over your lawn. What does the presence of moss tell you about your lawn? The presence of moss is a sign that the current environment isn't right for your grass. There are certain conditions that accelerate the growth of moss.
One primary factor is the soil. Is your soil suited for your grass to grow in stability? A soil test kit can tell you this. One bit that you must know is that moss thrives in acidic soil. So, if the turnout of your soil test is lower than 6.0, there is a big chance that your problem is acidic soil. Acidic soil is not the only haven for moss. Lack of nutrients in the soil also increases the chances of moss growth in your lawn.
Apart from these, the presence of thatch, lack of sunlight and water, soil compaction, and any of these combinations screams welcome to moss in your lawn. Once you've identified what is causing the growth of moss in your lawn, then you can determine the right fix.
Now Be Off With The Moss
If your soil is determined to be acidic, liming is the answer. It can raise the ph level in your soil. Moss control fertilizers can also help nourish your soil and control moss growth in your lawn. Remember that thatch can encourage the growth of moss, so thatch removal must always be a part of your lawn maintenance. Trim your shrubs and tree leaves so your lawn can enjoy equal amount of sunlight and water.
Aerate your lawn regularly as part of your lawn maintenance. Lawn aeration does not only bring its own benefits, but it also removes moss and compaction.
Keep Them Away For Good
As soon as you have determined the environmental factors that are causing the moss to keep coming back, maintain the treatment. Then you will be rid of them for good.
For advice on lawn moss treatment and lawn moss killers, visit the best lawn care experts in Iowa, schedule a free consultation with All American Turf Beauty and learn more about the dynamics of your lawn from the experts.

What a cool poem!
A book of these is called for. Although, I know I couldn't do it once much less make a collection of them, but the world needs a series of poems like this.
This is an early poem? It demonstrates then the frivolity I sometimes see in your poetry.

dear Sir Gee,
I like this! It is similar to the poem I heard as a kid:
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
I like yours better!

Hi Cat
Do you know one thing I love?
The commonality between so many of us, even though we are 1000s of miles apart. And this little poem is something I grew up with in the UK too.
Poetry is good.

I hate kids,
and tried to piss them off by talking as if to adults. Turns out they love that.
I hate kids and their commotions
and dumped on them quite adult notions
the little buggers thought me cool
(collectively they're not a fool)
their answers gave my thoughts new motions.
I am of course referring to my own nieces and nephews who are unusually gifted and beautiful in every way,

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1
Description of problem:
During install, i2o module doesn't detect the Adaptec 2010s raid card.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put in cd 1
2. Boot machine
3. Run installer
Actual Results: Installer asks me to select drivers because it couldn't find any hard drives.
Expected Results: Installer should have automatically detected the raid card and drives.
Additional info:
This 2010s controller is on a supermicro superserver 6023P-8R. Redhat 8,9,FC1 detects this array just fine using the dpt_i2o driver. FC2, FC3, FC4-test 3 doesn't. Trying to download and insmod i2o_block.ko manually at install doesn't work either.

Just tried this with FC4 release. Results are a bit different.
The installer still doesn't detect the adapter. I manually add the i2o_block
driver from the list. The installer then hangs at Checking for existing fedora
core installs at 0%.
Debug information shows:
block-osm:/dev/i2o/hda error: Failure communicating to device
end-request: I/O error dev i2o/hda
block-osm: still remaining chunks
[This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs.
If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.]
Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update.
If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being
detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE*
installing any kernel updates.
If in doubt, you can recreate this file using..
mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak
mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak
Thank you.
As this bug deals with new installations, the last comment doesn't apply to this
Any progress with this bug?
could you load the i2o_block module manually by selecting it from the list?
Best regards,
Markus Lidel
I can but the console reports a seek error and the installer hangs.
could you switch to the logging-console? And if yes, is there some error message?
Best regards,
Markus Lidel
The logging-console is where it reports the drive seek error.
is there no output from the I2O driver?
Something like: i2o: Checking for PCI I2O controllers...
Best regards,
Markus Lidel
Yes, and I had pen and paper in hand to copy it down, but now all the sudden
things are working as expected now.
I tried (note all these failed on 2 seperate identical servers before)
FC3 disk 1 raid 1 fc1 previous install- worked
FC3 disk 1 raid 1 new array - worked
FC3 disk 1 raid 5 new array - worked
FC3 kickstart raid 5 new array - worked
FC4 disk 1 raid 5 new array - worked
I just don't get it.. Resolving ticket.
