As a schoolboy I did not do well at History. Maybe things are different now, but in those far-off days to succeed in the subject one had to be able to memorise a large number of seemingly arbitrary, unrelated facts. I found the lack of pattern in the subject an obstacle to understanding, and turned for comfort to Maths, where all is clean and tidy.
In this book, George Lindsay comes to the rescue of we lovers of numbers. Look, he says, history is just a series of cycles. Forget about all that messy human stuff about the causes of events and concentrate on the peaks and troughs. And, since these cycles continue into the future in the same way, history becomes a way to predict events as well as analyse them in retrospect. He begins by identifying one type of event as most important:
Our starting point is always an agitation. An agitation is a heightened consciousness and increased activity among a large number of people at a specific moment in time, It is normally directed toward a certain end. An agitation may be physical in nature, in which case it usually involves bloodshed, or it may be intellectual or emotional.
Note Lindsay's precise, scientific language. The next concept to grasp is the interval. Lindsay says that agitations occur about 40 years apart. So for example the French Revolution of 1789 is followed by the July Revolution of 1830. His next example is less clear: he says that the Russian Revolution of 1917 was somehow completed in 1957, though the only actual event of 1957 he gives is the launch of Sputnik. One might almost get the idea that Lindsay is trying to fit the facts of history to his theory, rather than the other way round. Fortunately it is comfortably elastic with plenty of room for adjustment:
The number of years we count forward from an agitation varies. It is often about 40 years, but can be as little as 39 or as much as 41. In many other cases, the median figure is 36 years, which can be as little as 35 or as much as 37 years.
Where the agitation is an unsucessful revolt it must be treated differently, he says. These events supposedly occur about 55-57 years apart, but just in case the facts prove recalcitrant:
There's also a third interval, one with the rather wide latitude of 64 to 69 years.
Lindsay's approach to history, with its need to tie events together regardless of meaning or any common causation, leads him to make some bizarre connections when he attempts to bring artistic endeavours into the picture:
Tennyson's Poems of 1842 was a literary landmark. The British suffered a damaging defeat at Majuba in 1881.
Is there a military defeat 40 years after every "literary landmark"? I suppose there must be. There's certainly no end of connections once you start to look for them:
Henry James wrote of relays of "ambassadors" who crossed the ocean to save a young American from being corrupted by an alien culture. Count the 40-year interval and you come to 1941. Special Ambassador Kurusu joined the resident Ambassador Nomura in Washington, and they warned our heedless government that the United States would cross the ocean and intervene in Asia at its own peril. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor shortly afterward.
Lindsay arrived at his ideas about history from a background in stock price forecasting. He made his living as what is called a "technical analyst", one who tries to guess at future prices by looking at charts of past ones. As he puts it here:
Over a span of two decades, I have made perhaps 300 distinct predictions of stock prices which have come true with varying degrees of accuracy.
This implies, though it does not say so directly, that he did better than chance in his forecasting. If so, why he did not simply invest his own money and become vastly rich is a bit of a mystery. (He could have turned one dollar into millions if the profit on each of his 300 predictions was anything over a mere 5%, for example) .
Technical analysis, despite a lack of evidence in its favour, is still going strong. There's a lot of books and software on the market supposedly to aid the would-be investor, though again it is strange that those behind them don't keep their valuable "secrets" to themselves. Philanthropists all, I presume.
Technical history - which is what Lindsay also called his "other history" - has definitely not caught on in the same way. Too many conservative thinkers unwilling to give up the idea that events have causes, the fools. Since 2009 marks the book's 40th birthday, I boldly predict that in that year, or the next, or 2023, or thereabouts, something will happen that is vaguely related. Then you'll all believe!
Lindsay's Right -- proven!

Interesting Steve. You say his forecasting ability was "really quite good": is there any empirical study that shows this?

I like the blurb on the
George Lindsay was my uncle.
Thanks for the info, James.
Thanks for the info, James. I'm sure your uncle was a very decent and clever chap but equally, "The Other History" is bunk, with no more value than astrology. It's pretty clear from reading it that it's of a case of the facts being made to fit the theory rather than the other way round.
The whole field of so-called "technical analysis" is of dubious merit as well. Is there any solid evidence for its effectiveness? I'd be astonished if there were.
Alfred, Professor Andrew Lo
Ed, I am sure that markets
Ed, I am sure that markets can trend and not be random. Human beings are involved.
TA, however, is supposed to work without consideration of the human factor, in which case it ought to be doable by machines. Either it's about the numbers or it's a matter of judgement: which is it? The descriptions of TA that I see seem to try to have it both ways. Just like astrology, as I pointed out earlier.
And also like astrology, studies that show a possible mechanism by which something might work are not equivalent to a demonstration of it actually working in practice. That's what I would like to see: figures that show that TA, in general, performs better than a coin-toss. Sadly you can't say, after the fact, that person X was a good analyst on the basis of their results: if TA is just guesswork, then there will be some who get better results than others simply by pure luck.
If I come to you and say I can make myself invisible and then quote some research that shows invisibility is theoretically possible, would you be satisfied at that? I would hope not.
Furthermore, I am not persuaded by the suggestion that because Lindsay's work is not easy to understand, that somehow makes it more profound. I have lots of books here that are difficult reading. That does not mean they necessarily contain any form of truth.
Finally, the problem with The Other History is not that it's not accessible, it's that it's complete balderdash. A rule that can work both ways, and that has to be adjusted post hoc accordingly, is not a rule, it's a delusion.
Alfred, I've never heard of
Ed, I find the term "sheeple"
Ed, I find the term "sheeple" highly insulting. It's a way of labelling those who disagree with you as lesser mortals, unable to see a profound truth, rather than fellow rational beings who happen to read the evidence differently.
I might look further into TA given time - I do prefer to understand before I dismiss - but The Other History is bunk, pure and simple. It is a selective reading of the past to support a flaky hypothesis. Nothing you can say about it will change my opinion, sorry.
I got the idea that TA was just about the numbers and not about behaviour because that's a major part of Lindsay's thesis in his book - that history can be seen as a series of patterns, reminiscent of biorhythms on a macro scale, and that you don't have to examine human motivation to predict the future. But he does a pretty rotten job of finding these patterns in the past, let alone the future.
For someone who calls the

Ed, some things are simply bunk. A supposed theory of history which contradicts itself and explains nothing, for instance.
My "thin skin" is not for myself, but for all the others so rudely dismissed by those who commonly use the term I objected to. I have been insulted far more vigorously than that on this site and elsewhere, and I couldn't give a shit about it. It's actually quite hard to get my goat, but I do enjoy a bit of verbal sparring, as long as it doesn't go on too long and get boring.
(Watch out, though, I don't play fair.)
I don't hate the book, I just think it is rather silly. It's not worthy of hate: it's simply not that important. But that doesn't mean I consider Lindsay himself less worthy of respect: plenty of excellent people get foolish ideas from time to time. Don't we all? I only concern myself with those that end up in print.
You can stop badgering me about selling the book, now. Take a hint.

I have not read all the commentaries here but I want to add anyway that seeing George Linday's interview on Wall Street Week and his accurate preciction several months before the bottom of a vicious bear market in 1982 has given me a great appreciacion of his understanding of the markets (no small task) and his beauty as a person.
Lindsay famously drew a chart
Lindsay famously drew a chart of his expectations for the stock market over the entirety of the decade of the 1970s and it was remarkably accurate. The only "miss" of any consequence was the severity of the decline into the 1974/5 bear marekt low. But, as I recall, the actual timing of the peaks and valleys and most of the prices he expected . . . were spot on. This, as much as anything, made him famous for his forecasting abilities. Note, in The Other History book, Lindsay appears to predict the end of the old USSR toward the back of the book and at the time it actually sort of dissolved. I don't have my copy any longer but it would be nice if someone would show that prediction here. Finally, Lindsay was more of an "artist" than a "quant." His was based on seeing things others could not. It makes his work hard to duplicate. And, his very best advice, I think, was that an investor could study the markets and would likely have one great investment opportunity over a lifetime . . . to test his findings and convictions, one that could make the investor very wealthy. This is so true for the current generation where we had the great bull market of 1982 to 1999. If folks of this generation, in general, were going to make a real killing in markets, that was the likely point they'd do it; few have managed so well since then and by the time the next one rolls around, our old-age risk taking propensity will likely see us on the sidelines as observers. I suppose we will see another such event that will take markets down to levels that for those who see it, will make the wealthy. Lindsay was one of a kind with a fabulous record, his famous prediction almost to the day and to the DJIA point where he said the low would be made months in advance, this when the world was ready to give up on stocks, established his bona fides. By the way, a video of that prediction floats around on the Internet and is worth a look. BR

September: The Hunt for Red (Sox?) October
I think that I speak on behalf of many baseball fans when I say that my favorite day of the year is Opening Day. Because, well, there's something about opening day. I have a second favorite day of the year, though: September 1. In fact, September might just be my favorite month of the season.
Towards the end of August, it becomes quite clear which teams are in the hunt for October. The month of September is all about the final push. I see it as the most crucial month of the season. However, that doesn't mean that the games in September are any more important then they were in, say, May, for example. I think what I'm trying to say is that each team is in a certain position at the beginning of September. What each team has done until that point has affected their respective playoff berth chances. Some teams have an almost definite chance at making it, some teams are on the line, some teams' hopes are slowly, painfully dwindling away, and some teams simply won't make it. From that point at the beginning of September, the outcome of each game will affect where you are in October: on the field, or watching from the couch.
I won't beat around the bush here: the Red Sox have a very slim chance of making it into October. I know that there is nearly an entire month of baseball left, but statistically speaking, it is highly improbable. Not only would the Red Sox have to win nearly every game from here on out, but also, the Yankees and Rays would have to cooperate and lose some games, which they simply don't do.
Regardless of whether or not the Red Sox make the playoffs, I will not consider this a wasted season, or even a disappointing season. Rather, I would consider it frustrating. The Red Sox are in no way, shape, or form a bad team. They are a very unlucky team. Everyone I have spoken with this season is absolutely flabbergasted by the copious amount of injuries. I'm usually not one to make excuses; in fact, I'll be the first to admit if the Red Sox play bad baseball, which they sometimes do. However, when Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Cameron, Kevin Youkilis, and Dustin Pedroia–4/9ths of the opening day lineup–are out for the rest of the season, that certainly hurts. When Josh Beckett–the man considered by many to be the staff's ace–is out for 10+ weeks, it doesn't help.
I won't blame everything on injuries though. I'm happy to speak of instances where the Red Sox haven't played smart baseball. I'm not here for harsh criticism, I'm here for constructive criticism. When you have runners on first and second with no outs, there is no excuse for not bunting. Small ball wins games. You sacrifice an out to get two runners into scoring position. Also, the Red Sox have been absolutely sparse on the base paths. As soon as Ellsbury comes out of the lineup, we stop stealing! There have also been some mental slips on Francona's part as well. One of the most obvious instances, in my opinion, was when he brought Clay Buchholz out for the eighth inning when he was over 100 pitches. Next thing that happens? A home run to tie the game. He has done that on many an occasion this year.
Francona also is obsessed with lefty-lefty match-ups. I have discussed this with @TheRealMBB many a time. We don't hire Francona to read a book full of statistics. I can do that. We hire him to trust his gut. Baseball goes beyond statistics. You go with the guy who is throwing the ball the best, and that is final.
A playoff berth is improbable. But in baseball, things that are improbable tend to become probable more than often. Take yesterday (Sunday), for example. The Red Sox took a 5-3 lead into the top of the ninth. In fact, they had a two run lead in the top of the ninth with two outs, and their storied closer, Jonathan Papelbon, was on the mound. Be honest with yourself. When you were watching that game, you thought the Red Sox were going to win. There was no way the White Sox were going to come back and tie that game–let alone score four runs.
I always say that I like baseball because anything can happen. Literally. Anything. That came back to bite me in the **** yesterday. The Red Sox are 10 games back from first place. They are 7.5 games out of the wild card. Statistically speaking, it's improbable. But as I said earlier, baseball goes beyond statistics. There is so much in this game that goes beyond baseball. Anything can happen.
There is another thing that I really like about September, though. Perhaps even more than the hunt for October: expanded rosters. This is where my projects come in and make a difference, just like I predicted all the way back in Spring Training. This is when I feel like a proud mother every time I get a tweet saying that somebody is en route to Boston.
It's surreal for me to see Dustin Richardson, Felix Doubront, Ryan Kalish, Daniel Nava, Josh Reddick, Lars Anderson, and Michael Bowden (soon, anyway) on the roster at the same time. It's even more surreal to realize that I've had a conversation with each and every one of them. I had the chance to tell them, in person, that I was impressed with what they had done in the minors, and that I knew that they were going to be good, and that I had faith that they would be up in Boston soon. I feel like a proud mother. There is nothing in this world that could top that for me.

The Secret to Simplifying Cloud Storage: A Hybrid Approach
The Secret to Simplifying Cloud Storage: A Hybrid Approach
Remote and branch office (ROBO) storage presents unique challenges to enterprise IT and storage professionals. Satisfying the needs of dispersed end-users with limited on-site IT support while managing growth in capacity, taming complexity, and keeping costs under control is a dreadful task. Realistically, however, the greater the number of remote sites, the bigger the challenge becomes.
A new approach is redefining ROBO storage deployments, though. Leveraging both cloud and local storage, this approach can result in dramatic cost reductions and simplified management while providing end-users with fast access to files, easy recovery of backups and the ability to share files both locally and in the cloud.
Join storage analysts from Taneja Group and CTERA in this transcript of a December 2012 presentation (including webcast slides) as they explore a comprehensive approach to ROBO storage and discuss:
- ROBO end-user storage needs vs. corporate IT considerations
- Pros and cons of alternative approaches to managing ROBO storage, including: Traditional approaches employing local file servers and tape backup, as well as remote backup, WAN optimization, and cloud storage gateways
- How leveraging cloud storage technology integrated with managed local storage appliances can optimize cost, performance and management overhead
- How this approach can scale to many thousands of sites, providing speedy deployment, centralized management and ease of use for ROBO end users.

TiVo Mini now available for $99
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment
TiVo has finally launches the TiVo Mini, the first DVR extender offered by the company. Previously offered through a partnership to Suddenlink customers, the TiVo Mini allows the user to stream content from a TiVo Series 4 unit (either a Premiere 4 or XL4,) thus allowing you to view your recorded TiVo content on a television where you don't have a TiVo in the mix. You'll also have to make sure you can plug the TiVo Mini into Ethernet or MoCA, as that's another requirement--no Wi-Fi here. Additionally, you can also stream live TV to the mini as well, provided that one of your four tuners is available and free. Lastly, the Mini will also provide access to other services that tie into TiVo, like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Pandora. Think of it as a TiVo Stream, but for another television instead of for your iOS devices.
You can pick up the TiVo Mini now for $99.99, and you'll have to pay a monthly subscription fee of $5.99 to use it. Alternatively, you can pay a one-time fee of $149.99 for a lifetime subscription, making the TiVo Mini actually cost $249.98.

OCEAN CITY – Most agree Ocean City could not survive without the thousands of foreign seasonal workers who descend on the resort each year and gobble up the jobs once filled by American kids, but not everybody is completely enamored with the largest segment of the town's workforce.
The foreign workers begin to arrive in the spring and, for the most part, stay long after their American counterparts head back to school or grow tired of their summer jobs. They often work two or three jobs around the clock and take positions nobody else wants. The foreign workers can be found waiting or bussing tables, behind store counters, cleaning hotel rooms and everywhere in between, providing a reliable, if not always understandable, workforce for a town that swells to a population of nearly 300,000 in the summer months.
Clearly, they are needed and wanted in Ocean City, and as a result, there is a vast safety net in place to help them find jobs and places to live and help them with travel visas and diplomatic issues. Often heard are stories of the foreign workers being exploited and mistreated, and many of them are true, but little is said when the exploited become the exploiters.
Downtown property owner Gina Mariani, who rents housing to as many as 220 foreign summer workers each year, has heard the sob stories about their mistreatment and she typically goes out of her way to make sure those she deals with are treated with compassion. Occasionally, such as was the case this week when several groups of foreign workers she rents apartments to abruptly left without warning, she feels like she is the one being used and abused.
When Mariani went into the apartments she rented to several of the groups of foreign workers who left unannounced this week, she was shocked by the condition her units were left in. There was food and garbage scattered throughout the units; piles of clothes and dresser drawers pulled out and lying on the floor; and dirty dishes, pots and pans piled high in the sinks with stagnant water overflowing down the front of the cabinets and onto the floor. Windows were broken and holes were punched in the walls, and bathrooms were disgraceful with sinks and toilets overflowing and mold growing everywhere.
While appalled by the condition of her units, Mariani was quick to point out not all of her foreign renters treat their summer housing the same way. She accommodates about 220 each year and said a quarter of them leave their apartments in such a deplorable condition. It's also important to point out some American summer workers likely leave their seasonal rentals in equally despicable conditions, but the foreign workers are doing it with more and more frequency.
Mariani said this week she feels betrayed somewhat because she goes out of her way to be nice to the foreign workers because she knows some of them are exploited. While she understands renting to summer seasonal workers, regardless of their nationality, has inherent risks, she merely wants her renters to meet her half way.
"Whatever condition I give it to them in, I expect it back in something close," she said. "I understand wear and tear and I know it's a long summer, so I have some expectations about what they're going to look like. But some of this is just ridiculous. They couldn't try to trash the places on purpose and do a better job."
What makes it more painful for Mariani and many of the property owners is that they've heard the stories of exploitation and go out of their way to make up for some less kind-hearted landlords and employers.
"Every year I see the sad stories about how they are mistreated and exploited, and I don't doubt some of that is true, but I never see the other side of the story," she said. "I try to be reasonable and I try to help them, but I often get taken advantage of."
Mariani said she knows it is tough for the foreign workers to find decent housing when they get here and it is often equally difficult to afford a place even after it is found. For that reason, she said she prices her units in a range most can afford.
"I try to look out for them and be nice to them because I know they need a break," she said. "I've read over and over how they can't find a decent place to live and how they can't afford it, so I set the prices to make it possible for them. I charge them a $300 security deposit – not $300 each, but $300 total."
Ironically, it is the security deposit that often becomes an issue between the renters and the landlords, despite the condition of the units at the end. In one of the units abruptly vacated in horrible condition this week, the former tenants left a note for Mariani, the first part of which read like the Preamble and the second part of which read like a veiled threat about the security deposit. The note was adorned with a picture of an American flag and smiley faces and included a forwarding address in Missouri.
"We the people of A18 have managed the room in all possible ways," the note reads. "We will come back next year and live in your apartments if you send our deposit to us for sure."
What is sure is that the recently departed tenants won't be getting their security deposit back and almost certainly will not be invited back next year. Mariani and her family have a plan in place to raze many of their old, downtown units and build a new, dormitory-style complex with 94-units on the site of the old Driftwood Apartments. The roughly $7 million project was approved last fall and is still in the works, but based on her recent track record with foreign summer workers, Mariani is now uncertain if she wants to move forward with it.
"We're supposed to tear a lot of this old stuff down and build dorms next year, but after seeing this, I'm not sure we want to go through with it," she said. "I'm not sure we're ready to invest millions in that just so they can completely destroy them."
Mariani is just one property owner out of the hundreds that cater to seasonal workers going through the same thing as another summer winds down. Many will find the same horror stories when they get back in their units after a long summer and some will find they have dodged a bullet with good groups of kids this year.
Longtime Ocean City resident and property owner B.T. Trumpower knows all about the pitfalls of renting to summer workers, foreign or otherwise, since he's been doing it for about 25 years.
Trumpower said this week he has been in and out of some of his rental units this summer and has not seen the type of abuse witnessed at the Mariani properties, but he is withholding judgment about the summer of 2007 until the end.
"Knock on wood, I've been in many of mine and I haven't seen too much of that," he said. "Now I won't know for sure until the end, but so far, it looks like I've been lucky this year."
Trumpower said his experience with foreign seasonal workers has been a mixed bag with some nice and polite and clean and others just the opposite.
"In general, they're pretty good kids," he said. "Of course, like in any thing, there are bad eggs and I'm sure I'll see my share of horror stories before it's all over."
While he acknowledged their importance to the summer workforce in the resort, Trumpower said the prevailing picture of them as overworked, underpaid and exploited is not always accurate.
"They are not the godsend everybody thinks they are," he said. "I know the businesses rely on them, but they are not the best tenants. I've had more than my share of really bad ones over the years."

NBA TV host Kristen Ledlow says she was robbed at gunpoint
ATLANTA (AP) — NBA TV personality Kristen Ledlow says she was robbed at gunpoint at her home.
The host of "NBA Inside Stuff" said on Twitter and Instagram Sunday that she was held up the day before "by three men who knew who I was, where I lived and were waiting for me when I got home."
She says in addition to stealing her car, purse and phone, the thieves took her "sense of security." She says she'll be taking a break from social media as a result of the incident because she says she "will not become a slave to fear."
Ledlow didn't say where the incident took place. NBA TV is based in Atlanta.

Good communication skills is the most vital thing which is held as a requirement for all kinds of relationships, whether it be family or intimate relationships, friend related relationships, or sometimes especially in career relationships.
Sp why particularly, do you need to focus on the development of your communication skills! It is because you need to convey thoughts, messages, and feelings to other people, and you cannot possibly do it without being equipped with proficient communication skills.
Have you ever imagined how people would understand each other without the power of communication! In order for you to maintain a healthy relationship with anyone in your personal and professional life, you should be a good communicator.
Communication is a process of effectively delivering yourself to be clearly understood by all, and among the most vital ingredients of effective communication, are the tone, the voice, the spoken word, making eye contact, and your overall speaking style.
When the message you send is misconstrued, confusion, unrealistic expectations, hostility, and in the case of a work environment,less productivity will be achieved. Communication is said to be successful, when the sender and the receiver are able to attain a meeting of minds, and then perceive the relayed message in exactly the same manner.
Furthermore, if a person does not have good communication skills, it will most certainly be likely to block any positive progress both at a personal, or indeed professional level.
If in most instances, you get a hesitant feeling when you are either answering phone calls, or replying to emails from certain people, it is because you have underdeveloped communication skills, but if you are fluent and at ease with both written and oral communication methods, then you are more likely to be one hundred percent confident in dealing with these cases.
So why not spare the time necessary, to progress in the development of your communication skills!
Many employees in the business firms of today, are sent on special courses which are primarily focused on the development of better communication skills for the employees in every department of the Company, and even after these courses, the instructors claim that only a quarter of the yearly graduates from the course can really claim to be efficient communicators.
Nevertheless good communication skills cannot simply be dismissed as unimportant in todays global marketplace, and therefore the following points are among the important issues included in those programs meant exclusively for the development of vital communication skills.
So what is communication, how would we best define it, and what is its purpose! As students you should be aware of the real importance of the communication process, and likewise be very conversant with the methods that must be employed in good communication.
The level of relationship that you have with different people varies, so you must adopt a suitable method of communication with them, and in turn, you must be aware of how to effectively communicate with your bosses, your subordinates, clients, friends and family, and so on.
The development of your listening skills is crucial, as understanding oriblems and differnet situations will only become apparent to you, if you know how to listen.
Of equal importance is the development of your speaking skills, but it is only through training and considerable practice that good speakers are created.
You should endeavour to identify and try to avoid any barriers which are impeding the communication process, but the kind of communication that you will be capable of will only progress with experience.
Learn the building of good rapport with everyone that you have dealings with, and most certainly good communication skills will play an extremely important part in this. It is logical that you will have great difficulty in establishing good relationships with people if you are not able to communicate with them properly!
The development of communication skills is an investment in your future, so do make sure that you attach sufficient importance to the development of them.

After professional photographer Alex Dejong lost his sight three years ago, he thought his days of taking and editing photos was over. But the iPhone 3GS's VoiceOver feature, plus a few key apps, has given some of his abilities back.
Dejong's field of vision isn't totally black; he can distinguish light from dark, and had continued to take photos with the help of an editing assistant. But VoiceOver, which reads back anything displayed on the iPhone, has allowed him to use the (low-end, Dejong admits) camera and certain photo editing apps like Camerabag and TiltShift even without sight.
"With the iPhone and a lot of the photography apps that a lot of people are using, I have my entire workflow, and I can do it in five minutes," Dejong said. "In this way, the iPhone is a remarkable gift. I've had it for three weeks now, and it has really opened up my world, apart from the photography."
It's a pretty interesting story, and Wired's account goes into more depth with other blind photography techniques. I'd never really thought about blind photography before, but for someone like Dejong, for whom photography had been a vital part, I can see how VoiceOver and other new tools would be a godsend.

We're working to verify these stories now. Just thought I'd share some of the mail. First a car crash Sunday in Rowland Heights:
There was a car crash on May 17th, 2009, Sunday. My fiance was behind the car when it got hit by an suv, the car flipped over and landed in Joe's Crab Shack. My fiance saw the car flipped upside down and he saw the passenger with their eyes open and blood everywhere. He was sure they had passed away, and has been pretty tramatized about it. I've been looking everywhere on the internet to see if it was reported and I havent found anything. I was wondering if you will be reporting it? or is there anywhere that they might where I can find it. I just would like to give him some peace of mind and me as well. Thank you so much 🙂 It happened in Rowland heights by the Puente Hills Mall.
Next, a stabbing in Highland Park (also Sunday):
There was a stabbing in Garvanza Park near the corner ofAvenue 64 and Meridian last night (Sunday, the 17th) at approximately6 pm. The small park was full of families at that time and I believe thestabbing victim has since succumbed (based on the memorial that nowstands in the park). There was a heavy LAPD presence in the park justafter the slaying.
As I have seen no mention of this incident in the media anywhere, I thoughtI'd bring it to your attention.
Questions about the Mongols motorcycle gang:
I've recently become aware that they'remaking a film about William Queen's book, "Under and Alone."
After reading the book, I began to wonder how The Mongols got to be what they are today. I knew one of them, very briefly, 30 years ago, and he and his friends were not like the book described at all.
I read the article in the SGV Tribune and,although they weren't boy scouts,Tony Vodnik's description was more what I remember.
He may be able to answer some questions for me.
If you have a way I can contact him via email, and can share that info with me – or forward this to him, I'd appreciate it.
Finally, a drive-by in Rowland Heights:
I was told by a friend that there was a drive by shooting in Rowland Heights last week.
I wanted to make sure of those facts. I saw a deputy sheriff so I asked him if there was
in fact a drive by shooting in Rowland Heights. He said yes there was one.
Why isn't there any mention of it on your site or in the Newspaper?
Care to chime in on any of these incidents?

I just bought a cheap frame off craigslist because I want to build myself a fixed gear bike. When I turn the fork, it feels like there is sand in the bearings. How do I go about taking the headset apart so that I can check the bearings. What should I be looking for when I pull it apart?
(I know this is almost 2 questions, but they are so closely related, if needed, I'll split it up)

The owners of the Sparrows Point steel mill plan to raze the closed plant, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said Thursday, as political leaders from Towson to Washington mourned the loss of a landmark that once employed tens of thousands.
The officials, including Gov. Martin O'Malley, vowed to help steelworkers who have lost their jobs. But the head of United Steelworkers Local 9477 was angry that a key part of the plant is being sold to North Carolina-based Nucor Corp. — to be used for spare parts.
Joe Rosel, president of the local in Sparrows Point, said he had received no indication from political leaders that anything could be done to stop the sale of the plant's cold mill to Nucor.
"I haven't heard anything that would lead me to believe that we're not in a very difficult situation," he said. "I'm disgusted and outraged by the fact that it came down to this, and there weren't enough proactive things done to save this plant."
Kamenetz acknowledged that Nucor's deal for the 12-year-old cold mill — which produced precision-thickness steel that could be used for car parts, furniture and other items — was part of a process that extinguishes any hope that the plant might reopen. "A century of steelmaking as we know it has come to an end," he said at a news conference.
With the news that Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor has acquired the cold mill, it is now clear that the steelworkers' jobs will not return "in the form that they knew it," Kamenetz said. He said officials of co-owner Hilco Trading "have indicated that they are going to liquidate every remaining asset and bring the structure down to the ground."
Gary Epstein, Hilco's chief marketing officer, said the company had marketed the mill aggressively and tried to sell it to someone who wanted to continue operating it.
"At this point, we do not have specific details on a timeline with regard to the next stage or steps, other than continuing to market the assets that exist, which we will do aggressively," Epstein said.
Nucorp did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat, told colleagues in a floor speech Thursday that it's time to "start looking out for American jobs."
"We looked the other way when foreign imports began to drive down our prices and drive down our steel mills," she said. "We've got to begin to reclaim what we're thinking here. America's steel and steelworkers protected the freedom of the United States. At Sparrows Point, they made shells for landing craft, airplanes and ships. We have to remember whose steel in our country really built America."
She urged Sparrows Point's former workers to take advantage of government programs that can help them find new jobs and get health coverage.
In a statement, O'Malley said he was disappointed by the news and vowed that the state would work with the union and be ready to help those who lost jobs.
"We are confident that the dedicated steelworkers of Sparrows Point will transition to new jobs and continue to play an important role in our economy," he said.
Kamenetz pledged to reach out to the laid-off workers with a safety net and to bring new jobs to the area.
Earlier this year, the county formed the Sparrows Point Partnership, a committee to explore redevelopment possibilities related to the expansion of the nearby port of Baltimore. The group is exploring ways to attract jobs in advanced manufacturing, distribution and clean energy to the peninsula, Kamenetz said.
"We're tough here in Baltimore County," he said. "We get knocked down, we're getting back up. And we're going to bring thousands of jobs back to this peninsula."
Dan Gundersen, the county's economic development chief and chairman of the Sparrows Point Partnership, said the group has been researching the land's infrastructure and environmental condition, and has begun a market analysis to determine the types of industries the area could support.
Recently, the county received a $1.4 million grant to create an employment program for the laid-off workers. Within a week, the county will use the federal funds to hire four people to handle outreach for the steelworkers, Kamenetz said. Three economic development employees are dedicated to helping the laid-off Sparrows Point employees, officials said.
Workers can also apply for benefits such as extended unemployment compensation and wage subsidies through the Trade Adjustment Assistance program, and officials have been urging them to apply soon so they don't miss deadlines. The county will use the Eastpoint Career Center as the central location for workers to find help with job training resources and other assistance.
Gundersen said county officials do not know the timeline for the dismantling of the plant. "Our understanding is that Hilco has about two years to dispose of these assets," he said.
Rosel said the workers face a difficult and uncertain future, and "only time will tell whether the redevelopment [of the peninsula] is going to be successful."
"Even with retraining, these people are going to have trouble finding this kind of job," Rosel said, pointing to the good pay and benefits they had at the steel plant. "There aren't a lot of jobs out there like the ones we had."
About 2,000 people were laid off from the plant when RG Steel shut it down over the summer as part of a bankruptcy filing, and the mill sold for pennies on the dollar. Sparrows Point's new owners — Environmental Liability Transfer, which bought the land and some buildings, and Hilco, which acquired the rest — picked it up for $72.5 million in August, four years after the plant sold for $810 million.

You know how annoying it is to have a massive rule with a lot of "ands" or a lot of "ors" for the same condition (e.g. state is Georgia, Florida, or North Carolina)? That used to be three separate lines in the rules builder. No more! Now you can simply separate those values with a semicolon (much like you would do in salesforce.com) and do it all on one line. This should save a lot of clicking and keep your rules a lot less tall! You can now use this in automation rules, dynamic lists, and segmentation rules.
Note: The text field is still limited to 255 characters currently so you couldn't put a massive list in there (the Fortune 500 for example). You would have to split that into a few lines. This should cover most cases though.

I'm not talking about the lights going out or the slides not loading, but a real crisis: A death, a war, a natural disaster. The crisis might be happening right next to you or far away, but many speakers find themselves having to pull something to say together in a critical moment that they know is affecting (or is about to affect) their audiences, something so powerful that it must be acknowledged and addressed.
Speakers in a crisis can benefit from keeping their remarks short and simple, no matter what they'd originally prepared. But three more qualities of speeches in crisis are even more important, to my mind. The most memorable and effective crisis speeches:
- Acknowledge and give voice to the feelings of the audience, rather than avoid them;
- Offer universal and unifying themes to which the group can relate; and
- Share a positive vision of what can come out of the crisis, even while acknowledging the difficulty in doing so.
|Betty Ford, giving an impromptu prayer for Rabbi Maurice Sage
One of the most striking speeches in a crisis I've ever heard was Robert F. Kennedy's impromptu remarks at a 1968 Indianapolis rally, in which he informed the mostly black audience of the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.--a shock to the audience and the nation. The calm and quiet tone not only suited the occasion, but may have prevented the type of rioting that occurred in many other cities as a reaction to the news. He drew on deeply personal beliefs, a favorite poem and an appeal to the listeners to come together not in anger, but against the anger. This was a campaign stop for Kennedy, who was running for president in 1968. Within two months, he too was assassinated after a speech in California--something that makes these remarks all the more poignant in retrospect. (You can find a transcript of his remarks at the link.)
Please share your thoughts about what else is needed during an impromptu speech during a crisis, and your suggestions for others to add to this list.

IN FLAMES Talks Touring, Future Plans
A five-minute clip in which Swedish metallers IN FLAMES talk about their current North American co-headlining tour with TRIVIUMand their plans for the immediate future can be seen below.
IN FLAMES' new digital single, "Where The Dead Ships Dwell", contains three completely different remixes for the title track. With versions by German rapper Casper, drum-and-bass act THE QEMISTS and Kristof Bathory, vocalist of the black metal band DAWN OF ASHES, there should be something everyone can enjoy.
IN FLAMES' tenth album, "Sounds Of A Playground Fading", sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 27 on The Billboard 200 chart.
IN FLAMES' previous CD, "A Sense of Purpose" (Koch) opened with 20,000 units to land at No. 28. This was slightly less than the opening tally of "Come Clarity" (Ferret), which shifted just under 24,000 copies in February 2006 to enter the chart at position No. 58.

Devils beat Penguins again
New Jersey 3, Pittsburgh 1
David Clarkson scored twice and Johan Hedberg turned aside 23 shots as visiting New Jersey recorded its fifth straight victory by completing a home-and-home sweep of Pittsburgh.
Ilya Kovalchuk also tallied and Adam Henrique extended his point streak to five games with an assist for the Devils.
Clarkson scored on the lone power play for New Jersey, which took advantage of 10 opportunities with the man advantage on Saturday en route to a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh.
Clarkson opened the scoring with 6:54 remaining in the first period. After Deryk Engelland was caught up ice, Clarkson staved off the backchecking Penguins defenseman before wristing a shot past Tomas Vokoun and into the top left corner of the net.
After Kovalchuk doubled the advantage midway through the second period with a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle, Clarkson netted his second of the game and ninth of the season just over two minutes later. Clarkson tapped home a loose puck on the doorstep before taking a vicious hit to give New Jersey a 3-0 lead.
James Neal ended Hedberg's bid for a second straight shutout by scoring his eighth goal of the season -- and fifth power-play tally -- just 15 seconds into the third period.
Vokoun finished with 20 saves for the Penguins, who fell to 2-3-0 at Consol Energy Center.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Pittsburgh veteran LW Matt Cooke was held without a shot while playing in his 900th career NHL game. ... Clarkson has five more goals than the next closest New Jersey player (Henrique and Kovalchuk). ... Penguins D Kris Letang (lower-body) was placed on injured reserve, but is eligible to return for Wednesday's game versus Ottawa.

This past weekend I went on another cemetery hunt, this being my 4th trip to Connecticut this summer. The timing was the worst as far as photographing the stone. As with all my other visits, I knew exactly which cemetery this person was in. But I didn't know the sun would be casting a huge shadow on the stone. My heart sank of course. Luckly, there is a great photo in FindAGrave and Jack Shackles who took the better picture gave me permission to post (see below).

You won't believe this email. I'm sitting in a French safe house, eating caviar and drinking champagne with handsome government agent, Niko Reynard. He's wearing nothing but silk pajama bottoms and mega doses of sex appeal. I'm in big trouble, little sister. He's kissed me several times and given me a foot massage that nearly caused spontaneous combustion. I'm feeling strangely virginal compared to the sexual prowess this thirty-year-old man exudes.
When I came to Paris for a bit of adventure, I never imagined I'd foil a bombing attempt, karate-kick two men, and run from terrorists while wearing a new pair of stilettos. I met a German musician, a gay poet from Australia, and the most delightful older French woman.
Don't worry. I'm safe…the jury's still out on yummy Niko, though. The more champagne I drink, the less reserved I feel. What an unforgettable fortieth birthday!
Suddenly, screams followed by loud thumping and books falling filled the bookstore. Niko sprinted in the direction of the high-pitched shrieking, gun in hand. He bounded up the steps and rounded the corner. "Aly! Aly! What the hell."
He skidded to a halt. One of the well-dressed men he saw entering the store earlier was on the floor, books covering most of his body. His companion was staggering, holding his hands over his eye and screaming like a banshee as blood ran down his face.
In the corner stood a pale and trembling Aly, her frightened blue eyes dominated her face. "They…they grabbed me! Said they'd kill me if I resisted. I…I karate kicked them." She swallowed, obviously trying to gain control. "Kung…kung-fooed the hell out of them, too. And…and…"—she pointed to the screaming man still on his feet—"I think I poked his eye out with one of my stilettos."
Niko ran a hand down his face, keeping it over his mouth to hide the smile. What a piece of work. He wanted to laugh. He wanted to hug her. And damned if he didn't want to shake the daylights out of her for stepping out of his sight. Hadn't he told her to stay with him?
"You okay?" Niko's gaze swept over her, looking for injuries. He fought the urge to pull her to him and embrace her until her trembling stopped. Frankly, if he were honest, his nerves weren't the greatest right this moment, either. When he heard her scream earlier, cold fear did a free-fall straight through his system.

Amanda Knox rejected the latest accusations by an Italian court that she slit her roommate's throat in 2007, saying there is no evidence showing she was at the scene of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher's murder.
"I did not kill my friend. I did not wield a knife. I had no reason to," Knox, who appeared passionate and emotional at times, said in an interview Thursday with CNN.
A Florence appeals court released a 337-page explanation Tuesday for its decision to reinstate guilty verdicts against Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in January.
Knox told CNN that she and Kercher had been growing closer and had never had a fight leading up to the British woman's death.
According to the court document, judges believe Kercher was killed by multiple attackers, including Sollecito and drug dealer Rudy Guede.
But it was Knox "who lashed the deadly wound to the throat" following a heated argument about money, they said. "Meredith was immobilized and was unable to put up any useful resistance due to the fact that she was overpowered by a number of aggressors and simultaneously stabbed with the blades," the document read.
But Knox denied again on Thursday even being at the scene of the crime.
"If I were there, I would have traces of Meredith's broken body on me. And I would have left traces of myself around — around Meredith's corpse," she told CNN, adding, "And I — I am not there. And that proves my innocence."
Kercher was found dead in the apartment the two women shared in Perugia as exchange students. Knox and Sollecito were found guilty of murder in 2008, but that sentence was later overturned.
Knox has been in the U.S. since 2011. If Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation confirms the convictions, a drawn-out extradition fight is expected for Knox.

A loose coalition of people feeling betrayed by psychiatry have come together to promote legal and treatment alternatives as members of the psychiatric survivors movement. The "psychiatric survivors movement" is also called the "consumer survivors movement."
Rejection of psychiatric doctrine and/or practicesEdit
A number of people considered ill and needing treatment by specific psychiatrists or psychiatric doctrine in general do not perceive benefit from the services offered or forced upon them. Many respond with outrage to both the system of values which judges them to be ill, and the coercive and violent nature of interventions made in the name of "help". Some have suffered through sexual abuse or physical torture (e.g. insulin shock therapy) by psychiatrists; others have had loved ones killed by psychiatrists (see Chelmsford royal commission). Though there are perhaps earlier inspirations for this such as antipsychiatry and the opposition of surrealism to psychiatry, the psychiatric survivors movement grew out of these experiences. Other souces include "the civil rights movement."[1]
History of movementEdit
The beginning of a formal movement is often attributed to Howard Geld, or Howie the Harp, and the formation of the Insane Liberation Front in Portland, Oregon in 1969. Many other local initiatives followed, many of them with Howie's direct participation and most owing to his articulation of peer alternatives to traditional treatment methods, and demonstrated success in funding and operating peer-operated service centers. A coalition of such programs meets annually at the Alternatives conference.
MindFreedom International and the World Network of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry have also played important roles in the psychiatric survivors movement.

from BBC:
A British scientist says he is the first man in the world to become infected with a computer virus. Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading contaminated a computer chip which was then inserted into his hand.
Dr Gasson admits that the test is a proof of principle but he thinks it has important implications for a future where medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants become more sophisticated, and risk being contaminated by other human implants.

The Xc 38 was the second yacht in the Xcruising Range to be named European Yacht of the Year in the "Luxury Cruiser" Category, on its launch in 2011. The judges were particularly impressed by the spaciousness and luxurious levels of comfort in the interior. Under sail, under motor or in harbour, the Xc 38 may be easily and safely sailed double-handed, yet still offers ample space both above and below decks to accomodate guests and family.

NOTE: Please see our Fett Fact Check for up-to-date fact versus fiction on this subject.
One fan site, Nuke the Fridge, is boldly reporting today that the origin films will be about Boba Fett and Han Solo. But there's no attribution on the article to follow up, especially in regards to quoting Bob Iger at Disney.
In fact, their article quotes a Movieweb post in February 2013. Whoops. And no actual quote from Bob Iger is mentioned or confirmed elsewhere.
As an official Star Wars writer Bryan Young noted on Twitter, "People need to learn how to properly source, provide links, and learn the definition of 'confirmed.'" We wholeheartedly agree.
We'll update this article as more information is available, but for now, this looks like a false alarm on the part of "Nuke." (Editor's note: they later retracted a lot of the affirmative language in their post.)
In the meantime, hat tip to Chris F. Bartlett for the 501st.com image. Pretty cool if it ends up that way. And what do we know about the rumored origin films? Check out our earlier article: "Would Boba Fett's Origin Story Make a Great Feature Film?"

I have a question about taa and kaaf...
ssalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
I have a question about taa and kaaf. Both have the quality of ash shiddah and strong reliance on the makhraj but both also have al hams, the letters of which have a weak reliance on the makhraj.
Looking at the letters of al hams the taa and kaaf seem to be the odd ones out. Are they included due to al hams being the mechanism by which the problem of sound being imprisoned behind the makhraj is resolved for the taa and kaaf?
How is the strong reliance of ash shiddah and the weak reliance of al hams being present in the same letters reconciled?
Jazakallahu khairan
Wassalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
A very good question, masha' Allah.
You are correct, that the
present in the
helps them get rid of the pressure built up at the makhraj due to the characteristics of
. The other letters of
rid of the pressure by qalqalah, with the exception of the hamzah which for some of the qira'aat has the pressure released by changing the hamzah.
The pressure built up in the letters of
is especially noticeable when the letter is saakin. In this case, the
which are saakin have the shiddah occurs first, and the hams after that. This is the only case when the sifaat are not applied simultaneously, so this reconciles the two characteristics as they are not applied at the same time.
When the letter is voweled, the pressure build up for the characteristic of
is not as strong and there is not a problem applying both
at the same time.

Cancer is a cruel and cunning foe. It sneaks up on you silently. Sometimes, it lies in wait for a long time before it pounces on you. It doesn't play fair. It follows no rules. It is ruthless.
My father was a wonderful man. He was kind and loyal and generous to a fault. Charisma oozed from his pores. He was what you would call a "character". Few who met him, didn't love him. Those who didn't, at least respected him. He was a shrewd businessman and could be a formidable opponent, when necessary.
For the next fourteen months, there were many ups and downs. Every step forward brought two more steps back, but never once did I lose faith. It simply never occurred to me that he wouldn't get well. But, ultimately, he didn't. His last several weeks were spent at Hospice. Let me tell you, he was the most popular guy there!
Devoted Father
Doting Grandfather!
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
--Mary Frye

South Yorkshire Police has this year played host to the three-day national police dog trials, with Surrey Police coming first out of 21 competitors.
The trials, held at Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham, began on Thursday, 15 May, and concluded Saturday, 17 May.
Twenty-one police dog handlers and police dogs from all over the UK, including PC Neil Losada with police dog Ace and PC John Shaw with police dog Diesel from South Yorkshire Police, had made it through the regional trials and into the final, national trials.
Each handler and dog competed in three separate phases which form the national trials.
Harry Morton, South Yorkshire Police's Dog Training Manager and organiser of this years trials, explained the different phases: "Phase one is tracking, which took place at Hoober Hall Farm, and allows the dog to track down and locate certain obejcts by using scent.
"Phase two is person search, this year taking place at the Wentworth Estate, where the dog, directly deployed by the handler, had to locate two people within the estate.
"The final phase, which is the only phase that the public were able to watch the handlers and dogs in action as the first two phases cannot have any distractions, took place at Wentworth Woodhouse and tests obedience and criminal work including chase and detain, agility, crowd control and chase and stand off."
The winner of the 54th National Police Dog Trials was PC Paul Barnham and police dog Ethel from Surrey Police. In second place was PC Stephen Randall and police dog Nevis from Police Scotland and in third place was PC Nick Dalrymple and police dog Aden from Avon and Somerset.
Chief Constable David Crompton of South Yorkshire Police said: "I am delighted that the event was a success. Police dog patrol teams are a crucial part of any police force; they play a vital role in day-to-day frontline policing.
"Over the past three days we have witnessed some exceptional performances by the handlers and their police dogs, and I want to congratulate all the winners, it's been an outstanding event."
Harry Morton added: "It has been an honour for the Force to be able to host the National Police Dog Trials in South Yorkshire. This is the first time they have been held in the county and I am absolutely thrilled to have had the privilege to organise the event and would like to thank everyone involved; those participating, planning and attending, as everyone has helped in making it a success."

Supermarkets are large grocery stores that sell a large variety of fresh and packaged food and other consumer or household products. Supermarkets are divided into sections, such as dairy, produce (fruits and vegetables), meat, packaged goods, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene items. The term "supermarket" usually refers to a larger store than the term "grocery store."
Grocery Store
A grocery store (or just grocery) is a retail store that sells fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat, packaged foods, household cleaning and laundry supplies, and hygiene items (soap, toothpaste, etc.).
Types of grocery stores
There are a range of different types and sizes of grocery stores. Some grocery stores are small community stores with a limited range of items. Other grocery stores are large stores with a vast selection of food and household items. In some cases, a grocery store is part of a larger general merchandise store such as Walmart, which also sells clothes, hardware, and other items.
How grocery stores work
The person who controls a grocery store is called a grocer. A grocer will order food from farmers or other people who send out farmers food to other grocery stores and restaurants.

Liquid detergents and most pump hand "soaps" dry skin out. Our solution: a fabulous utilitarian bar that moisturizes your skin no matter how often you wash your hands.
Sink Side Kitchen Soap™ quickly removes grease, dirt, and germs. It rinses off in a flash. The bar has a light, fresh, herbal scent from essential oils. Synthetic perfumes in most dishwashing liquids cling to your hands and can end up in your apple pie.
Use Sink Side Kitchen Soap also to clean fruits and vegetables, like those apples for the pie or a lemon before zesting.
"Thanks for helping my rough hands. I cook a lot and wash my hands constantly. With your soap, I don't worry about my skin anymore."
Mary Stewart, Philadelphia, PA
"I love this bar for my fine washables. It cleans them well and is not so hard on the fabrics as Woolite."

22 July 2008: It's been quite a while since I've updated this, so I'm giving it a shot, trying to do it without all the banners/links. You can, however, see all of the banners for my stories by going to the profile for my LiveJournal community, fics_by_megan:
There are the pretty banners made by the artists here on MNFF, as well as those made by the artists over on TDA, since I also post my stories on HPFF.
As of today, I have 40 stories posted on this account, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. (Even with starting university in a few months.) Another one-shot, as a matter of fact, is with betas right now.
Lately, I've fallen in love with reading and writing Sirius/Hermione stories, although of course, my current WIPs are still, definitely, being worked on.
Hello. The name is Megan, and the age is 19 (though I'll be 20 quite soon).
My Award-Winning Stories:
-- Thousands Say Farewell (Third)
-- Are You Brave Enough? (Second)
-- Fortune Favours the Brave (First)
-- Messages of Heart and Mind (Honourable Mention)
-- Recolitus Optimus (First)
-- Never Leave You (Second)
-- Adoris Integare (First)
-- Justify (Third)
My Upcoming/Planned Stories:
1) "Untitled": a chaptered fic, it'll be the largest part that tells the overal story that I have planned for Sirius and Hermione. Both "Come Back To Me" and "Watching Him Remember" are parts of this story, and there are hints in both of them about the overall mystery, but it's in this longer fic that everything will be told. [Expected Release: TBA]
2) "Once Upon a Time": a short story, this is another Sirius/Hermione story that's being planned out right now. It's written in response to a challenge given over on the HPFF forums. And of course, it will star Sirius Black and Hermione Granger. [Expected Release: TBA]
3) "Untitled": a short story, this is an idea that's been in my head for ages, though I haven't gone much further with it than dwelling on the basic plot. Will be an Alternate Universe fic, using canon up until around mid-OotP. Mainly starring Sirius Black and Lord Voldemort, with plenty of appearances by the other characters of the books. [Expected Release: TBA]
4) "Caught": a one-shot, it will be the sequel to "Brothers", and will basically pick up right where that one left off. Currently in the planning stages, and starring Sirius Black. [Expected Release: TBA]

I'm going to grad school, folks. Those of you who saw it coming six years ago, come up and claim your prize. I am, indeed, a born academic, and in the words of REO Speedwagon, "I can't fight this feelin' anymore."
Also in the words of REO Speedwagon, "I've seen hookers dancin' through Times Square with their heads held up so high." But that's another story. What was I going to say again?
Oh, yes: this does not mean the end of the blog.
"Wait," said everyone, "you mean it's still going?"
Ku looked at Everyone with a tilt of her head. "What?"
"The blog," Everyone said, "Hadn't it already stopped long ago?"
"No," said Ku, visibly perturbed, "It never stopped, really.... I do come along every now and then and announce I'm alive, or encourage you to vote or something, don't I?"
"But you don't POST anything anymore," Everyone noted, "It's been ages since you've put up a new tutorial or photo... let's have a pattern, eh? Like the old days... like we used to."
"You would not believe the things I have on this side of the publish button," Ku replied with a thin smile and narrowed eyes, "Many things. Splendid things... but I will not reveal them until he time is right."
"And when should that be?" Everyone asked.
"Probably after I move into Ku House Tempe," Ku said, casually checking her watch to no benefit whatsoever, "sometime in the new year."
"Oh," said everyone, "damn."
So don't give up on me just yet. >:3
PS: Thank you for voting. :D
