Launching the 2010-2011 basketball season last weekend, Springside School didn't just dip a toe in the pool, but plunged right in at the deep end.
Traveling to the Turkey Day Tournament at Archbishop Spalding High School in Severn, Md., the Lions took on two of the top teams in the Washington, D.C. area, bowing to Riverdale Baptist on Friday night, 73-44, and then losing to the tourney host Cavaliers the following afternoon, 63-35.
"We'd only had five days of practice, and those teams had already played a couple of games," observed fourth-year Springside coach Brian Morris, whose squad also had to adjust to the 30-second shot clock used in girls' games in Maryland. "It's clear we have some things to work on; the idea now is for us to regroup and see what we can learn from the experience of facing two outstanding teams."
Top to bottom, Springside has the most talented roster in the history of the program, but a number of the athletes are new students and the players need to adjust to working with one another.
"I expect that collectively we'll see a lot of improvement over the next few weeks," Morris said. "We just need to get everyone on the same page."
The two seniors on the 2010-2011 Springside roster are actually among the newest members of the team. Point guard Shea Crotty has just arrived at the school from New Zealand, and guard/forward Brenna Coll attended Cardinal Dougherty High School until it permanently closed its doors last spring.
Juniors Michelle Boggs (a 6'1" power forward) and Elana Roadcloud (a 5'11" swing player) are also Dougherty refugees, and there are three returning 11th graders, 5'11" guard/forward Sydni Epps and guards Alexis Giovinazzo and Aly Markey.
Sophomore guards Michelle Cybularz, Maddi Hinchey, and Gianna Pownall all saw varsity playing time last year, and the two freshmen on the roster this season are 6'3" center Erin Garner and point guard Julia Schumacher.
At last weekend's event in Maryland, the Lions opened their season against Riverdale Baptist, which was ranked seventh in the nation in the ESPN Rise pre-season poll.
Morris called the Crusaders, "Probably the most complete team that I've ever coached against."
Hailing from southeastern Maryland in the vicinity of Andrews Air Force Base, Riverdale soared to a 32-14 halftime lead. The Lions brought their deficit down to 14 points in the middle of the third quarter, then the Crusaders pulled away again.
Coll accumulated 12 points and four assists for Springside, which got eight points apiece from Boggs (11 rebounds), Epps, and Roadcloud. Five points from Crotty (four assists) and three from Pownall completed the Lions' score.
Riverdale was paced by UMBC signee Lauren Chase, with 14 points, and by Deja Hawkins and Temple recruit Tyonna Williams, who each scored 13.
"In both our games down there we didn't handle the pressure very well, and I'm not just talking about the 30-second clock," Morris admitted. "We turned the ball over a lot, and many times they weren't really forced turnovers."
In Saturday's game Spalding surged to an 18-2 advantage in the first quarter, then increased its lead more slowly after that. Boggs reached double digits for Springside with 12 points, followed by Garner with eight and Crotty with seven. The Lions received four points from Epps and two each from Pownall and Schumacher.
Spalding was powered by 16 points from Shaquilla Curtis, who has verbally committed to American University, and 15 from Sherae Swinson, who is expected to accept a scholarship to New York's Binghampton University. The Cavaliers other two NCAA Division I recruits, Maggie Morrison (Vanderbilt) and Brya Freeland (Lafayette), scored 11 and six points, respectively.

The concept of getting ahead financially is deceptively simple – earn more and spend less. If we can do this we can pay down debt, build up a financial buffer of savings or save and invest for longer term goals. But it is easier said than done. Where do you start?
Few of us have direct control over what we earn and improving our income takes time. But all of us can start making different decisions today about how much we spend and what we spend on.
To help you do this we have calculated an estimate of what it cost you to live an average day in September 2018 and where we could we have compared it to your average daily cost of living in August 2018, July 2018 and for the whole of 2017.
For many of us, this number will be a real eye opener and will be greeted by responses like "Really? It costs me that much to live?" or "What did I spend all that money on?"
After the initial shock you might want to consider things like:
Unfortunately, for most of us, as our income rises so do our expenses – locking in a kind of 'personal rate of inflation' which can keep us from reaching important financial goals and financial freedom.
MoneyBrilliant can help you answer these questions.
Use our spending reports to track your spending over time and look for trends, see how much you spend on essentials and lifestyle. In the app you can change the categories that go into each if you don't like our definitions of essentials and lifestyle spending. Use our categorisation of your spending to see how it aligns with the things that are important in your life.
To login to the MoneyBrilliant app and go straight to spending reports for September 2018 click here.
You can also use the Net Worth feature (and the Net Worth tracking feature available to Plus Plan members) to track the changes in your Net Worth over time. For further details of the features available to Plus Plan members and reasons to upgrade have a look at details of our Plans.
We will also send you a summary of your daily cost of living each month in your Activity Feed to help you track changes.
The simplest answer is that it doesn't matter that much! Your average daily cost of living is all about you. It is only an estimate and we believe that how it changes over time is what's important. However, we know that people will be interested in how their cost of living compares to other peoples. The following chart shows you a distribution of average daily cost of living to help you see where you sit – below average, average or above average!
We think that having one simple number is a cool way to think about our spending habits. We hope you have some fun with it and find it helpful in setting goals and tracking your progress in 2018.
Calculating an estimate of your daily cost of living in a meaningful way for everyone is difficult. We had to make a number of decisions to try and provide the most meaningful estimate for the most people. Here is what we did:
If you've looked at the number and just don't believe it is correct, possibly you just don't realise what it costs to live an average day of your life!
Seriously though, there are a number of things that might affect the accuracy of your calculation including:
If you spot something that is incorrect please let us know at email@example.com
If we aren't currently sending you your Average Daily Cost of Living it will probably be due to one or more of the following issues:
If you would like to see your Average Daily Cost of Living each month please correct any of these issues that might be affecting your MoneyBrilliant account. If you need help with resolving any of these issues please contact us at email@example.com

We've been waiting for a set top box that could shake up the current craptastic boxes we're used to and/or do more than some of the neutered offerings available, and Boxee may have figured it out. Or at least done something different than throw out the same black square puck as everybody else. This leaked Boxee TV might be it. Maybe. Hopefully.
The Verge got their hands on leaked images of the presumably upcoming Boxee TV and the new device is supposed to be able to do what the curiously angular Boxee Box does now which would make this upcoming Boxee an all in one box that combines Live TV, DVR and streaming options while boxing out the cable companies. This, of course, is all unconfirmed, but it certainly looks like Boxee is serious about offering more features to make it easier for you to ditch cable. [The Verge]

Wisconsin universities see drop in students wishing to teach
The number of junior and senior undergraduates enrolled in teacher-training programs in the University of Wisconsin System has dropped, according to system data reported to the federal Education Department and provided to the State Journal.
There was a 2.8 percent decrease between 2010 and 2012 at University of Wisconsin System campuses, according to the State Journal. That comes after a 6.8 percent increase between 2008 and 2010.
The numbers do not include students seeking teaching licenses with majors not classified by the UW System as education majors.
It's unclear why the number has dropped. But Cheryl Hanley-Maxwell, associate dean of the UW-Madison School of Education, says some graduates are reporting feeling ill-prepared for what they call the political atmosphere surrounding teaching.
"Until our most recent surveys, we've never had a complaint that 'you didn't prepare us for the political atmosphere'" of teaching, said Hanley-Maxwell about surveys the school sends to graduates who have been teaching for about three years.
The Republican-controlled Legislature in 2011 passed Gov. Scott Walker's proposal, Act 10, which stripped most public workers across all levels of government of their collective bargaining rights.
Hanley-Maxwell also said the number of survey respondents planning to teach as long as they are able or until retirement has dropped from 85 percent in 2009 to 39 percent last year. She said she doesn't know why just yet.
"There's something going on out there - whether it's Act 10 or negative commentary (about teachers)," she said. "I don't know what it is, but there's definitely something going on out there."

Passage of new legislation that would create a permitting system for intercity buses in New York City was announced in mid-June, giving the city new authority to regulate the industry and designate pick-up and drop-off locations.
Intercity buses have created problems on many city streets by causing congestion, blocking access to intersections and sidewalks, forcing people to walk in the street, and creating dangerous conditions by double- and triple-parking, according to announced New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. By designating pick-up and drop-off locations, the city will be able to bring some order to the situation and will give local communities the chance to have input on where bus stops will be established.
"While providing a convenient, inexpensive alternative for intercity travel, these buses have often caused chaos on our city streets by blocking intersections, endangering pedestrians, and idling, which causes pollution," said Silver. "This permitting system will help alleviate some of that congestion and bring greater accountability to the intercity bus industry."
The measure (A.4578-A/Silver) amends the vehicle and traffic law to authorize New York City to establish an intercity bus permit system. The new system would designate streets and locations on those streets for passenger loading and unloading. It would also allow for community and public feedback before selecting bus stop locations, and would provide continuous information to the public through the online posting of approved bus applications and intercity bus stops.
It would also require that permit applications include identification of the intercity bus company and identification of the specific buses being used. Low-cost intercity buses have been involved in a number of accidents and several companies were recently shut down by the federal government over safety violations. This bill is part of a federal, state and local effort to bring stricter oversight to the industry, which has expanded rapidly over the past 15 years.
Sen. Daniel Squadron said, "Passage of intercity bus permit legislation in both houses of the legislature is a big step toward protecting communities and passengers alike as the low-cost bus industry continues to grow. City permits for intercity buses will help end Chinatown's wild west atmosphere while allowing the city and state to identify problems before they become tragedies."
Penalties for intercity buses that load or unload passengers on City streets either without a permit or in violation of permit requirements or restrictions would consist of a fine of up to $1,000 for a first violation, up to $2,500 for repeat violations, and permit suspension or revocation.
Passage of new legislation that would create a permitting system for intercity buses in New York City was announced in mid-June, giving the city new authority to regulate the industry and designate pick-up and drop-off locations.

Think Progress: How The NRA Stifled Gun Violence Research
-By Aviva Shen
December 20, 2012- The tragic massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, CT on Friday reignited the debate over the solution to America's gun problem. President Obama announced that Vice President Joe Biden would lead a task force to examine the available evidence and make recommendations for new policies to prevent the next shooting. But thanks to a concerted, 20-year effort by the National Rifle Association, the available evidence is severely lacking.
RAW Story: Discovery Channel kicks Ted Nugent to the curb
-By Stephen C. Webster
December 18, 2012- In addition to cancelling its popular "American Guns" reality show, The Discovery Channel confirmed to Raw Story on Tuesday that firearms enthusiast Ted Nugent will also not be returning to the channel in any form or fashion.
Speaking to Raw Story in remarks specified as "not for attribution," a spokesperson admitted that "Ted Nugent's Gun Country" didn't do very well when it aired in October, even with fellow firearms fashionistas. Nielsen Ratings placed the viewership at about 864,000 people in all. But the network's decision is not just about the numbers.
News Corpse: Mosque Arsonist Tells Judge: "I Only Know What I Hear On Fox News"
-By Mark
December 19, 2012- Here is a disturbing report from a local news broadcast in Toledo, Ohio. An Indiana man pleaded guilty to arson for having set fire to an Islamic Center in Toledo. He was sentenced to 20 years today and, in an exchange with the judge, revealed his motivation.
The judge asked him if he knew any Muslims or what Islam is. He said "No, I only know what I hear on Fox News."
The producers at Fox must be so proud of the prejudice they inspire with their overtly hateful coverage of any subject that deals with Muslims. Their scandal mongering a couple of years ago about the Park51 Islamic Center in Manhattan was evidence of just how biased the network is against Muslims. And numerous Fox anchors and guests have engaged in the slander that all Muslims are terrorists, or that all terrorists are Muslim.
Business Insider: The NRA's Facebook Page Disappeared Right After The Newtown Massacre
-By Jim Edwards
December 15, 2012- The day before the Newtown, Conn., elementary school massacre the National Rifle Association celebrated a milestone: It had accumulated 1.7 million fans on Facebook. It even tweeted a joyful graphic (at right).
A day after the killings, however, the NRA's Facebook went missing in action. It cannot be found on the social network. The disappearance was first noted on the USA Carry pro-gun bulletin board.
The New Yorker: The Newtown Shooting: Kindergarteners and Courage
-by Amy Davidson
December 14, 2012- "I heard something like someone was kicking on a door," a little boy, a student at Sandy Hook Elementary School, near Newtown, Connecticut, told a reporter for NBC. He said that bullets were "whizzing by" him in the hallway, but "a teacher pulled me into her room" before one hit him. "The gym teachers told us to go in the corner and we huddled," another said. "We were in the gym and I heard really loud bangs,'' a third boy, a nine-year-old, told the Times. "And we heard yelling, and we heard gunshots. We heard lots of gunshots…. We had to go into the closet in the gym. Then someone came and told us to run down the hallway." The children ran, some with their eyes closed, and made it out.
Mother Jones: Bachmann Says Obama Seeks to "Lift up Islamists"
—By Tim Murphy
December 12, 2012- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) flamed out of the GOP presidential race and barely held onto her House seat in November, polling 15 points behind Mitt Romney in the state's most conservative congressional district. This is where a typical member of Congress might reflect for a moment, tone down the rhetoric, and focus on nuts-and-bolts legislative issues to win back her constituents. Michele Bachmann is not typical.

Last week Mr Monkey published the findings of his investigation into ballot rigging by Labour council leader Iain Malcolm at the 2000 local elections.
At the time it was widely predicted that councillor Iain Malcolm would lose his seat to the Conservative candidate, Patricia Piggott so he took matter into his own hands by arranging for party members to collect postal votes from unsuspecting members of the public by offering to post them on their behalf.
Little did they know that he had no intention of posting them – not until he had 'sorted' them. He did this by opening the ed the postal vote envelopes, removing ballot papers and destroying the ones that had voted for the Conservative candidate. He then carefully resealed the ones that had voted for him and posted them back to the town hall. Councillor Malcolm's fraudulent activities had ensured that he was declared the winner
CLICK HERE to read part one of Mr Monkey's investigation in full.
Councillor Malcolm celebrated his 'victory' with a handful of associates who'd helped him secure his victory by either collecting postal votes, illegally completing them, opening them or destroying them. He even boasted that he'd cheated his way to victory by defeating the Conservative candidate.
His associates included, his brother Ed Malcolm, councillor Michael Clare, Arthur Meeks, Rob Dix and Mark Walsh.
After councilor Iain Malcolm was sworn in for another term the unsuspecting party members, Tom and Mary Taylor, who he'd cynically used to collect a large proportion of postal votes from the elderly and whose house he'd used to open the postal vote envelopes were finding it difficult to come to terms with what they had witnessed.
They were honest people with principles and high moral values who had been unwittingly dragged into Iain Malcolm's plan to rig the ballot in his favour. This whole affair increasingly played on Tom's mind and gradually his health started to deteriorate. Unfortunately Tom was torn between his loyalty to the movement, his duty as a party official (he was the local party treasurer) and his own consounce.
For months Tom agonised as to whether he should contact the police or confide in another party official but he didn't know who he could trust after witnessing councillor Iain Malcolm ballot rigging in his own front room. Almost a year passed before the opportunity finally presented itself.
Tom's ill health had prevented him from carrying out his duties as the party teasurer and it had also resulted in him missing a number of executive meetings. He was also unable to produce the treasure's report for the South Shields Labour party's Annual General Meeting (AGM) – something which the party's constitution required.
At a meeting of the executive Iain Malcolm produced a treasure's report for the AGM (without the knowledge of the treasure) and said that he would sign it off. Two members of the executive objected to this and said that this was unconstitutional, broke party rules and left the executive open to allegations of fraud.
One of the objectors Geraldine White said that she would visit Tom at his home to see if he was happy to sign off the report produced by Iain Malcolm and would report back. This was reluctantly agreed.
PARTY TREASURER, TOM TAYLOR REVEALS ALL– Part 3 of this disgraceful act of betrayal and election fraud will follow shortly.

|Hogwarts Library
|Location information
Third and fourth floors, Training Grounds Tower, Hogwarts Castle
|Permanent residents
The Hogwarts Library is located on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle and contains tens of thousands of books on thousands of shelves. Overseen by Madam Irma Pince, the library is where students can go to peruse or borrow books to supplement their studies (or for personal enjoyment). The library closes at 8:00 pm.
The library books have various spells on them to prevent students from defacing or stealing them. Hermione Granger tore a page out of a library book about magical creatures without being cursed, jinxed, or hexed by the book. How she did this is unknown. Chocolate and (presumably) other food is forbidden in the library. Harry Potter also showed signs of breaking the security of the library in his first year, when he entered the Restricted Section under his Invisibility cloak.
Taking out booksEdit
Students and teachers may take out books from the library, with the librarian's permission. Books from the Restricted Section require a signed note from a teacher to be checked out. Professor Severus Snape told Harry Potter that it was against the rules to carry a library book out of the castle. However, he may have just made that rule up to get Harry into trouble. Students seem to be able to place books on hold – during the 1992–1993 school year the book Hogwarts, A History had a two-week waiting list.
Professor Dumbledore removed the books pertaining to the subject of Horcruxes, due to the fact that they involve such Dark Magic. He kept them in his office until his death, whence Hermione Granger summoned them before departing in her sixth year.
Included in its many sections are:
- An Invisibility Section
- A Dragon Section
- A Reference Section[2]
- A Legal Section[3]
- A Restricted Section
Behind the scenesEdit
- In the PC/N64 version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the Library is larger and more labyrinth than in the films, perhaps closer to what is implied in the books. There are study tables nestled throughout red-carpeted rooms criss-crossed and walled with full bookshelves, many of which are actually secret passages that Filch uses to travel between rooms quickly. Polished wooden catwalks overlook most rooms here, some with stained-glass windows, and the entire complex is housed in the lower section of the Astronomy Tower. If one continues up through the levels of the library, they will eventually gain access to the top of the tower, where Astronomy studies are conducted. In the GBC version of the game, the library has two floors, the lower (accessed by the second floor) being a very large room filled with labyrinthine paths between bookshelves. The lower floor is where the Restricted Section and the librarian's desk can be found. The upper floor (accessed by the third floor) consists on a very large balcony, overlooking the lower floor. On the GBA version of the game, the library is a very large room with wine-coloured wallpaper. Annexed to the library is a room with many tables and a lectern facing them, possibly a place for lectures. The restricted section is through a wooden door, and it's a very odd room, with many secret passages, pressure pads and deep holes on the ground.
- In the video game adaptations of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the regular area of the library is a massive, cathedral-like area of the castle, with two long arms stretching to the left and right of the entrance, each lined with bookshelves at least five stories high. Wooden balconies line each level, and books can be seen flying like birds from the large, round librarian's desk in the centre of the room, up to the shelves where they each belong. There are also antechambers leading off from this area, up staircases from the main room, some locked or blocked in ways that require certain spells to unseal. These chambers are also lined with high shelves, and some are haunted by seemingly malevolent ghosts. A large cauldron of Wiggenweld Potion can be found bubbling in the Library, free for any student who needs a pick-me-up. The Restricted Section of the library in the game is even more intimidating. Accessed through a portrait in a section of the Library guarded nightly by Prefects, the Restricted section is a set of vast chambers, easily as big as the regular section only much more treacherous to navigate. Ghosts haunt the many halls and antechambers of the Section, some of which will attack the player if they get too close, and many of the doors are smeared with ectoplasm. Objects ranging from books to entire bookshelves may spring to life to assault those who venture here at night, some doors lock themselves, and some are heavily locked to begin with. On the GBC version of the game, the room is quite similar to the same version's previous installment, only slightly smaller.
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Library is divided into separate sections which are distributed throughout every floor of the castle, still containing a number of known secret passages concealed among their shelves.
- In the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince games, the Library resumes its simple layout from the films. The gate to the Restricted section is unlocked in the former game and locked in the latter.
- Another difference in the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince games is that the library is located on the second floor near the Charms classroom, not the fourth.

Israeli expert: Iran could have bomb in 4-6 months
A former chief of Israeli military intelligence says Iran could develop a nuclear weapon within the next four to six months.
Amos Yadlin says Iran already has all the necessary components needed to build a nuclear bomb. He says from the moment it decides to do so, it could complete the task between four to six months.
Yadlin made the assessment Monday at a news conference announcing the strategic outlook of Tel Aviv's Institute of National Security Studies, which Yadlin heads.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Iran could pass the threshold Israel could no longer tolerate by this spring or summer.
Israel has repeatedly hinted it might act militarily to stop Iran's nuclear program if needed. It says Iran's nuclear program is aimed at weapons development. Iran denies that.

Changing car color while in production?
Changing car color while in production?
I would think that's impossible to do. You are talking about a MAJOR change and paint happens not too far into the manufacturing process.
I tried that in December. No dice. Once you push the build-it button and click through all the disclaimers saying you understand that your decisions and selections are permanent, that's it, you are DONE. It has to do with the physical and computer sequencing for production. TM nicely explained to me that what seems little to us civilians is not doable in reality. They are very flexible up to the point of finalizing design, but after that, even though the car hasn't yet been built, the gears are in motion and it is beyond their ability to make any changes. Even things as little as the assigned VIN have codes that say things like the car's color, accessories, wheel size, etc. So be sure before you finalize. That may still seem early given how much more time until delivery, but for TM, it is GO TIME for your car.
I agree with Pungoteague_Dave that you should not count on being able to change anything, particularly paint.
However, they do occasionally permit changes (I've never heard of paint color changes being permitted), so it doesn't hurt to ask.
I think it depends on how far along your car is in production.
I originally chose Pearl White when I finalized in end Aug 2012, and my original scheduled delivery date was end Nov to Dec 2012.
When the new multi-coat red was announced, I immediately called Tesla up and re-finalized my order on Nov 29, 2012 with the new red and also to change from grey to silver 21" rims.
I signed my MVPA on Jan 3rd , est delivery end of April.
Called to change from lacewood go glossy obeche and from std to air suspension.
They allowed me to do the changes, and delivery will be 4 weeks earlier, due to air suspension.
No changes whatsoever
"It depends." But any color change allowed seems to involve delayed delivery.
(Brian H) and you will be subjected to any price changes because it will be considered a new order
@Shop- it will still be beautiful! All of the colors are great. Congrats on being close to delivery.
What color did you have and what did you want to change it to?
Google Plastiwrap.
@shop - It does not hurt to ask politely, letting them know you are aware that you have a contract which cannot be changed without their permission. All they can say is no. There are very few brown cars compared to grey cars and who knows, maybe Tesla would actually prefer batching yours with another grey run. Remember though if they permit the change it is a gift and something to be thankful for.
I was actually able to change my color (along with leather and decor, incidentally) after having finalized back in Dec. My original color choice was RED, which doesn't go to production until March, I believe. For that reason, they were able to change my color to BLUE. Now I expect mine to begin building in the next few days!!!!!
I wonder when the "Delivery" dreams will begin.
Now, try to change to black! ;)
Just kidding.


text: This breeding season has been one of Taronga's most successful. In the last few months 16 Little Penguin chicks have hatched and there are 10 more on the way! Australia's Little Penguin is the world's smallest penguin, weighing in at only one kilo. The Little Penguin is perfectly adapted to life at sea with a body shaped like a torpedo, wings that transform into flippers and waterproof bodies. Often Little Penguins have the same mate for life. Both parents feed and care for their chicks. It takes around about 36 days for an egg to hatch, during which both parents share the process of incubating. Young will leave their parents at about seven to nine weeks. Taronga's Little Penguins also share their home with three rare Fiordland Penguins –Mr Munro and his girls Chalky and Milford. Mr Munro has acquittances with both the girls to encourage them to do what comes naturally and hopefully breed a new generation of this inquisitive penguin. Each year we are getting closer to breeding success. This year both the females laid two fertile eggs and while they did not hatch, there is hope for next year. With less than 1,000 breeding pairs in the wild, research on this species is scant and each year as we observe their breeding behaviour we're able to unlock some of the secrets of the species' mating and brooding habits. In the wild it's difficult to study these behaviours as they live in thick vegetation in New Zealand's temperate rainforest.

^Yeah but currently Okabe doesn't have the time machine, that's why I'm confused >.>
I've only watched the most recent episode, and that's why I'm trying to figure out what he'll do from there. As for where this second Okabe came from, derp I'm lost. Or exactly how far from the future he's coming from.

How could we be sure it was Okabe who screamed ? Ok, the voice seems to be his but we don't have a clue about who screamed.
The only way I can think of having two Okabe would be if he used Suzuha machine but why would he do that ? And how ?? Suzuha wasn't supposed to be in 2010 in the alpha timeline, she went straight to 2000.

Hehe, half right prediction last week... FB was not a new character, but WTF Mr. Braun?!?!?
Anyway, finally Okarin realized that in order to save Mayuri, he must kill Kurisu, which was kind of obvious since ep. 14.
Oh! and I am looking forward to the anime explaination about WTF happened in episode one. In between, about the two Okarin's in that episode, it's my guess, judging by the voice heard (sounded like Okarin having a hard time assassinating Kurisu) and the mail Kurisu received from Okarin, before Okarin send the first D-mail from his point of view.
My hypothesis is that the Okarin that the anime follows is not the first version of Okarin that used D-mail... in his meta-time-linecurve/attractor (if that word makes sense)
Let's also not forget that the Reading Steiner feeling Okarin first experienced as a kid, before enslaving Mayushii... and that scene in the very start of the show after Okarin's monologue/introduction, where he walks off camera with Mayushii... should I guess these are their original versions.

This is my speculation on what I think will happen.
Okabe finds suzuha with her time machine and tells her everything that's happened. Kurisu gets stabbed in this timeline so he takes the time machine back in time to before she was stabbed to warn her. From there, I have no idea, but I think that might happen.
Either that or it's Suzuha who stabs Kurisu to stop SERN getting into power.

Another intersting question is : if Kurisu was found stabbed by Okabe, why did'nt send a d-mail this time ?

i see that basically we all have the same questions unanswered
i'll try to erase one: in ep1 we have a second evidence of a second okabe during the conference time
kurisu herself asks the "current time okabe" what he wanted to ask/say to her 15 minutes earlier. but wasn't "current time okabe", since he doesn't remember meeting her.
we have two other small pieces of the puzzle in ep1 (that still don't fit anywhere particularly well):
1. okabe phone rings during the "kurisu is in a pool of blood" scene (and he doesn't answer)
2. okabe receives a white-noise videocall at some point.
i agree about the "first" d-mail (which Daru doesn't consider in the least, he thought it was spam!): why should have switched worldlines? maybe was because sern reading it?
i have no recollection of a reading steiner mentioned when okabe remembers about his and tutturuuu younger days; which episode was it?

yeah, the white-noise videocall is strange because it should not be SERN : at this point they aren't aware of his existence....... in fact NO ONE knows about a time machine at this point (it's not even discovered yet) except if that someone comes from the future.
I don't know if it can help but the mail Okabe sent to Daru was received in three parts, Daru say so in the second ep.

Also, don't forget that in Beta timeline where Kurisu died, no one will develop microwave time machine further. At least, time-leap machine won't exist when Okabe return to Beta timeline. D-mail, maybe. And I don't think Beta-Okarin will even looking for IBN5100 since Beta-Suzuha (aka John titor) won't contact him because she doesn't know him in Beta timeline. (It was implied that she went to year 2000 as John titor appeared since 2000 in Beta timeline not in 2010 like in Alpha timeline- Watch ep 1-3 for details)
Another thing to think......if there are two Okarin in that time...it means that Okarin may run into another Okarin when he returns to Beta timeline since Suzuha's Time-machine can't go back to the future. Another Okarin must be around......
And another thing..... since Suzuha didin't come to year 2010 in Beta timeline, how can time-machine appear on the top of building in 2010 like in Alpha time line????

1. Following the timeline, on July 23rd (5 days before Kurisu is stabbed), a D-mail appeared on Daru's phone, and thus triggered SERN's detection. SERN tracks down and does some things behind Okarin/Kurisu's back within 5 days that somehow thwarts the assassin's attempt.
2. Here's a more interesting possibility. The moment SERN detected the D-mail, the assassin is predetermined to no longer appear. What I'm thinking of is this (thanks to Marina2's last question for tipping me into this madness ): the beta timeline where Kurisu is killed and therefore there is no dystopia is because of the death of Kurisu. This is a question of predetermation: future Suzuha is sent to the past to kill Makise Kurisu because her death is predetermined so that her future will be bright. Normally, this goes against Steins;Gate's time travel modus operandi (which has been, so far, parallel universe-based), but the mention of physical time travel I think makes this a possible, if somewhat tenuous, answer, since it might operate under a different system. Following this logic then, the reason why Kurisu doesn't die in the alpha timeline is because SERN's detection of the microwave created a future where Suzuha's mission is changed (why her mission changed... my theory is so wild I can't even properly put it into words).
Speculating about S;G is so fun.

The only explanation I see is that the second Okabe visit triggered the send of the d-mail, wich mean initially in the beta timeline, Okabe never sent a d-mail, then SERN never discovered him, then they couldn't build a time machine.
In other words, it's because Okabe travelled to the past to warn Kurisu that SERN was able to build a distopya.
But that visit caused the world to switch to alpha timeline (we still need to know why) and leaded to the distopya.
Is my guess wrong ?

Fossil File Formats
The global state of a fossil repository is kept simple so that it can endure in useful form for decades or centuries. A fossil repository is intended to be readable, searchable, and extensible by people not yet born.
The global state of a fossil repository is an unordered set of artifacts. An artifact might be a source code file, the text of a wiki page, part of a trouble ticket, or one of several special control artifacts used to show the relationships between other artifacts within the project. Each artifact is normally represented on disk as a separate file. Artifacts can be text or binary.
In addition to the global state, each fossil repository also contains local state. The local state consists of web-page formatting preferences, authorized users, ticket display and reporting formats, and so forth. The global state is shared in common among all repositories for the same project, whereas the local state is often different in separate repositories. The local state is not versioned and is not synchronized with the global state. The local state is not composed of artifacts and is not intended to be enduring. This document is concerned with global state only. Local state is only mentioned here in order to distinguish it from global state.
Each artifact in the repository is named by its SHA1 hash. No prefixes or meta information is added to an artifact before its hash is computed. The name of an artifact in the repository is exactly the same SHA1 hash that is computed by sha1sum on the file as it exists in your source tree.
Some artifacts have a particular format which gives them special meaning to fossil. Fossil recognizes:
These seven artifact types are described in the following sections.
In the current implementation (as of 2009-01-25) the artifacts that make up a fossil repository are stored as delta- and zlib-compressed blobs in an SQLite database. This is an implementation detail and might change in a future release. For the purpose of this article "file format" means the format of the artifacts, not how the artifacts are stored on disk. It is the artifact format that is intended to be enduring. The specifics of how artifacts are stored on disk, though stable, is not intended to live as long as the artifact format.
All of the artifacts can be extracted from a Fossil repository using the "fossil deconstruct" command.
1.0 The Manifest
A manifest defines a check-in or version of the project source tree. The manifest contains a list of artifacts for each file in the project and the corresponding filenames, as well as information such as parent check-ins, the name of the programmer who created the check-in, the date and time when the check-in was created, and any check-in comments associated with the check-in.
Any artifact in the repository that follows the syntactic rules of a manifest is a manifest. Note that a manifest can be both a real manifest and also a content file, though this is rare.
A manifest is a text file. Newline characters (ASCII 0x0a) separate the file into "cards". Each card begins with a single character "card type". Zero or more arguments may follow the card type. All arguments are separated from each other and from the card-type character by a single space character. There is no surplus white space between arguments and no leading or trailing whitespace except for the newline character that acts as the card separator.
All cards of the manifest occur in strict sorted lexicographical order. No card may be duplicated. The entire manifest may be PGP clear-signed, but otherwise it may contain no additional text or data beyond what is described here.
Allowed cards in the manifest are as follows:
B baseline-manifest
C checkin-comment
D time-and-date-stamp
F filename ?SHA1-hash? ?permissions? ?old-name?
N mimetype
P SHA1-hash+
Q (+|-)SHA1-hash ?SHA1-hash?
R repository-checksum
T (+|-|*)tag-name * ?value?
U user-login
Z manifest-checksum
A manifest may optionally have a single B-card. The B-card specifies another manifest that serves as the "baseline" for this manifest. A manifest that has a B-card is called a delta-manifest and a manifest that omits the B-card is a baseline-manifest. The other manifest identified by the argument of the B-card must be a baseline-manifest. A baseline-manifest records the complete contents of a check-in. A delta-manifest records only changes from its baseline.
A manifest must have exactly one C-card. The sole argument to the C-card is a check-in comment that describes the check-in that the manifest defines. The check-in comment is text. The following escape sequences are applied to the text: A space (ASCII 0x20) is represented as "\s" (ASCII 0x5C, 0x73). A newline (ASCII 0x0a) is "\n" (ASCII 0x5C, x6E). A backslash (ASCII 0x5C) is represented as two backslashes "\\". Apart from space and newline, no other whitespace characters are allowed in the check-in comment. Nor are any unprintable characters allowed in the comment.
A manifest must have exactly one D-card. The sole argument to the D-card is a date-time stamp in the ISO8601 format. The date and time should be in coordinated universal time (UTC). The format one of:
A manifest has zero or more F-cards. Each F-card identifies a file that is part of the check-in. There are one, two, three, or four arguments. The first argument is the pathname of the file in the check-in relative to the root of the project file hierarchy. No ".." or "." directories are allowed within the filename. Space characters are escaped as in C-card comment text. Backslash characters and newlines are not allowed within filenames. The directory separator character is a forward slash (ASCII 0x2F). The second argument to the F-card is the full 40-character lower-case hexadecimal SHA1 hash of the content artifact. The second argument is required for baseline manifests but is optional for delta manifests. When the second argument to the F-card is omitted, it means that the file has been deleted relative to the baseline (files removed in baseline manifests versions are not added as F-cards). The optional 3rd argument defines any special access permissions associated with the file. This can be defined as "x" to mean that the file is executable or "l" (small letter ell) to mean a symlink. All files are always readable and writable. This can be expressed by "w" permission if desired but is optional. The file format might be extended with new permission letters in the future. The optional 4th argument is the name of the same file as it existed in the parent check-in. If the name of the file is unchanged from its parent, then the 4th argument is omitted.
A manifest has zero or one N-cards. The N-card specifies the mimetype for the text in the comment of the C-card. If the N-card is omitted, a default mimetype is used.
A manifest has zero or one P-cards. Most manifests have one P-card. The P-card has a varying number of arguments that defines other manifests from which the current manifest is derived. Each argument is an 40-character lowercase hexadecimal SHA1 of the predecessor manifest. All arguments to the P-card must be unique to that line. The first predecessor is the direct ancestor of the manifest. Other arguments define manifests with which the first was merged to yield the current manifest. Most manifests have a P-card with a single argument. The first manifest in the project has no ancestors and thus has no P-card.
A manifest has zero or more Q-cards. A Q-card is similar to a P-card in that it defines a predecessor to the current check-in. But whereas a P-card defines the immediate ancestor or a merge ancestor, the Q-card is used to identify a single check-in or a small range of check-ins which were cherry-picked for inclusion in or exclusion from the current manifest. The first argument of the Q-card is the artifact ID of another manifest (the "target") which has had its changes included or excluded in the current manifest. The target is preceded by "+" or "-" to show inclusion or exclusion, respectively. The optional second argument to the Q-card is another manifest artifact ID which is the "baseline" for the cherry-pick. If omitted, the baseline is the primary parent of the target. The changes included or excluded consist of all changes moving from the baseline to the target.
The Q-card was added to the interface specification on 2011-02-26. Older versions of Fossil will reject manifests that contain Q-cards.
A manifest may optionally have a single R-card. The R-card has a single argument which is the MD5 checksum of all files in the check-in except the manifest itself. The checksum is expressed as 32-characters of lowercase hexadecimal. The checksum is computed as follows: For each file in the check-in (except for the manifest itself) in strict sorted lexicographical order, take the pathname of the file relative to the root of the repository, append a single space (ASCII 0x20), the size of the file in ASCII decimal, a single newline character (ASCII 0x0A), and the complete text of the file. Compute the MD5 checksum of the result.
A manifest might contain one or more T-cards used to set tags or properties on the check-in. The format of the T-card is the same as described in Control Artifacts section below, except that the second argument is the single character "*" instead of an artifact ID. The * in place of the artifact ID indicates that the tag or property applies to the current artifact. It is not possible to encode the current artifact ID as part of an artifact, since the act of inserting the artifact ID would change the artifact ID, hence a * is used to represent "self". T-cards are typically added to manifests in order to set the branch property and a symbolic name when the check-in is intended to start a new branch.
Each manifest has a single U-card. The argument to the U-card is the login of the user who created the manifest. The login name is encoded using the same character escapes as is used for the check-in comment argument to the C-card.
A manifest must have a single Z-card as its last line. The argument to the Z-card is a 32-character lowercase hexadecimal MD5 hash of all prior lines of the manifest up to and including the newline character that immediately precedes the "Z". The Z-card is a sanity check to prove that the manifest is well-formed and consistent.
A sample manifest from Fossil itself can be seen here.
2.0 Clusters
A cluster is an artifact that declares the existence of other artifacts. Clusters are used during repository synchronization to help reduce network traffic. As such, clusters are an optimization and may be removed from a repository without loss or damage to the underlying project code.
Clusters follow a syntax that is very similar to manifests. A Cluster is a line-oriented text file. Newline characters (ASCII 0x0a) separate the artifact into cards. Each card begins with a single character "card type". Zero or more arguments may follow the card type. All arguments are separated from each other and from the card-type character by a single space character. There is no surplus white space between arguments and no leading or trailing whitespace except for the newline character that acts as the card separator. All cards of a cluster occur in strict sorted lexicographical order. No card may be duplicated. The cluster may not contain additional text or data beyond what is described here. Unlike manifests, clusters are never PGP signed.
Allowed cards in the cluster are as follows:
M artifact-id
Z checksum
A cluster contains one or more "M" cards followed by a single "Z" line. Each M card has a single argument which is the artifact ID of another artifact in the repository. The Z card work exactly like the Z card of a manifest. The argument to the Z card is the lower-case hexadecimal representation of the MD5 checksum of all prior cards in the cluster. The Z-card is required.
An example cluster from Fossil can be seen here.
3.0 Control Artifacts
Control artifacts are used to assign properties to other artifacts within the repository. The basic format of a control artifact is the same as a manifest or cluster. A control artifact is a text file divided into cards by newline characters. Each card has a single-character card type followed by arguments. Spaces separate the card type and the arguments. No surplus whitespace is allowed. All cards must occur in strict lexicographical order.
Allowed cards in a control artifact are as follows:
D time-and-date-stamp
T (+|-|*)tag-name artifact-id ?value?
U user-name
Z checksum
A control artifact must have one D card, one U card, one Z card and one or more T cards. No other cards or other text is allowed in a control artifact. Control artifacts might be PGP clearsigned.
The D card and the Z card of a control artifact are the same as in a manifest.
The T card represents a tag or property that is applied to some other artifact. The T card has two or three values. The second argument is the 40 character lowercase artifact ID of the artifact to which the tag is to be applied. The first value is the tag name. The first character of the tag is either "+", "-", or "*". The "+" means the tag should be added to the artifact. The "-" means the tag should be removed. The "*" character means the tag should be added to the artifact and all direct descendants (but not descendants through a merge) down to but not including the first descendant that contains a more recent "-", "*", or "+" tag with the same name. The optional third argument is the value of the tag. A tag without a value is a Boolean.
When two or more tags with the same name are applied to the same artifact, the tag with the latest (most recent) date is used.
Some tags have special meaning. The "comment" tag when applied to a check-in will override the check-in comment of that check-in for display purposes. The "user" tag overrides the name of the check-in user. The "date" tag overrides the check-in date. The "branch" tag sets the name of the branch that at check-in belongs to. Symbolic tags begin with the "sym-" prefix.
The U card is the name of the user that created the control artifact. The Z card is the usual required artifact checksum.
An example control artifacts can be seen here.
4.0 Wiki Pages
A wiki page is an artifact with a format similar to manifests, clusters, and control artifacts. The artifact is divided into cards by newline characters. The format of each card is as in manifests, clusters, and control artifacts. Wiki artifacts accept the following card types:
D time-and-date-stamp
L wiki-title
N mimetype
P parent-artifact-id+
U user-name
W size \n text \n
Z checksum
The D card is the date and time when the wiki page was edited. The P card specifies the parent wiki pages, if any. The L card gives the name of the wiki page. The optional N card specifies the mimetype of the wiki text. If the N card is omitted, the mimetype is assumed to be text/x-fossil-wiki. The U card specifies the login of the user who made this edit to the wiki page. The Z card is the usual checksum over the entire artifact and is required.
The W card is used to specify the text of the wiki page. The argument to the W card is an integer which is the number of bytes of text in the wiki page. That text follows the newline character that terminates the W card. The wiki text is always followed by one extra newline.
An example wiki artifact can be seen here.
5.0 Ticket Changes
A ticket-change artifact represents a change to a trouble ticket. The following cards are allowed on a ticket change artifact:
D time-and-date-stamp
J ?+?name ?value?
K ticket-id
U user-name
Z checksum
The D card is the usual date and time stamp and represents the point in time when the change was entered. The U card is the login of the programmer who entered this change. The Z card is the required checksum over the entire artifact.
Every ticket has a distinct ticket-id: 40-character lower-case hexadecimal number. The ticket-id is given in the K-card. A ticket exists if it contains one or more changes. The first "change" to a ticket is what brings the ticket into existence.
J cards specify changes to the "value" of "fields" in the ticket. If the value parameter of the J card is omitted, then the field is set to an empty string. Each fossil server has a ticket configuration which specifies the fields its understands. The ticket configuration is part of the local state for the repository and thus can vary from one repository to another. Hence a J card might specify a field that do not exist in the local ticket configuration. If a J card specifies a field that is not in the local configuration, then that J card is simply ignored.
The first argument of the J card is the field name. The second value is the field value. If the field name begins with "+" then the value is appended to the prior value. Otherwise, the value on the J card replaces any previous value of the field. The field name and value are both encoded using the character escapes defined for the C card of a manifest.
An example ticket-change artifact can be seen here.
6.0 Attachments
An attachment artifact associates some other artifact that is the attachment (the source artifact) with a ticket or wiki page or technical note to which the attachment is connected (the target artifact). The following cards are allowed on an attachment artifact:
A filename target ?source?
C comment
D time-and-date-stamp
N mimetype
U user-name
Z checksum
The A card specifies a filename for the attachment in its first argument. The second argument to the A card is the name of the wiki page or ticket or technical note to which the attachment is connected. The third argument is either missing or else it is the 40-character artifact ID of the attachment itself. A missing third argument means that the attachment should be deleted.
The C card is an optional comment describing what the attachment is about. The C card is optional, but there can only be one.
A single D card is required to give the date and time when the attachment was applied.
There may be zero or one N cards. The N card specifies the mimetype of the comment text provided in the C card. If the N card is omitted, the C card mimetype is taken to be text/plain.
A single U card gives the name of the user who added the attachment. If an attachment is added anonymously, then the U card may be omitted.
The Z card is the usual checksum over the rest of the attachment artifact. The Z card is required.
7.0 Technical Notes
A technical note or "technote" artifact (formerly known as an "event" artifact) associates a timeline comment and a page of text (similar to a wiki page) with a point in time. Technotes can be used to record project milestones, release notes, blog entries, process checkpoints, or news articles. The following cards are allowed on an technote artifact:
C comment
D time-and-date-stamp
E technote-time technote-id
N mimetype
P parent-artifact-id+
T +tag-name * ?value?
U user-name
W size \n text \n
Z checksum
The C card contains text that is displayed on the timeline for the technote. The C card is optional, but there can only be one.
A single D card is required to give the date and time when the technote artifact was created. This is different from the time at which the technote appears on the timeline.
A single E card gives the time of the technote (the point on the timeline where the technote is displayed) and a unique identifier for the technote. When there are multiple artifacts with the same technote-id, the one with the most recent D card is the only one used. The technote-id must be a 40-character lower-case hexadecimal string.
The optional N card specifies the mimetype of the text of the technote that is contained in the W card. If the N card is omitted, then the W card text mimetype is assumed to be text/x-fossil, which is the Fossil wiki format.
The optional P card specifies a prior technote with the same technote-id from which the current technote is an edit. The P card is a hint to the system that it might be space efficient to store one technote as a delta of the other.
A technote might contain one or more T-cards used to set tags or properties on the technote. The format of the T-card is the same as described in Control Artifacts section above, except that the second argument is the single character "*" instead of an artifact ID and the name is always prefaced by "+". The * in place of the artifact ID indicates that the tag or property applies to the current artifact. It is not possible to encode the current artifact ID as part of an artifact, since the act of inserting the artifact ID would change the artifact ID, hence a * is used to represent "self". The "+" on the name means that tags can only be add and they can only be non-propagating tags. In a technote, T cards are normally used to set the background display color for timelines.
The optional U card gives name of the user who entered the technote.
A single W card provides wiki text for the document associated with the technote. The format of the W card is exactly the same as for a wiki artifact.
The Z card is the required checksum over the rest of the artifact.
8.0 Card Summary
The following table summarizes the various kinds of cards that appear on Fossil artifacts. A blank entry means that combination of card and artifact is not legal. A number or range of numbers indicates the number of times a card may (or must) appear in the corresponding artifact type. e.g. a value of 1 indicates a required unique card and 1+ indicates that one or more such cards are required.
Card Format
|Used By
|A filename target ?source?
|B baseline
|* = Required for delta manifests
|C comment-text
|D date-time-stamp
|E technote-time technote-id
|F filename ?uuid? ?permissions? ?oldname?

9.0 Addenda
This section contains additional information which may be useful when implementing algorithms described above.
R Card Hash Calculation
Given a manifest file named MF, the following Bash shell code demonstrates how to compute the value of the R card in that manifest. This example uses manifest [28987096ac]. Lines starting with # are shell input and other lines are output. This demonstration assumes that the file versions represented by the input manifest are checked out under the current directory.
# head MF -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 C Make\sthe\s"clearsign"\sPGP\ssigning\sdefault\sto\soff. D 2010-02-23T15:33:14 F BUILD.txt 4f7988767e4e48b29f7eddd0e2cdea4555b9161c F COPYRIGHT-GPL2.txt 06877624ea5c77efe3b7e39b0f909eda6e25a4ec ... # grep '^R ' MF R c0788982781981c96a0d81465fec7192 # for i in $(awk '/^F /{print $2}' MF); do \ echo $i $(stat -c '%s' $i); \ cat $i; \ done | md5sum c0788982781981c96a0d81465fec7192 -
Minor caveats: the above demonstration will work only when none of the filenames in the manifest are "fossilized" (encoded) because they contain spaces. In that case the shell-generated hash would differ because the stat calls will fail to find such files (which are output in encoded form here). That approach also won't work for delta manifests. Calculating the R-card for delta manifests requires traversing both the delta and its baseline in lexical order of the files, preferring the delta's copy if both contain a given file.

It could be a dangerous summer on California's roads.
Gov. Jerry Brown this week signed a bill to delay registration renewal notices for vehicles due for renewal beginning July 1. The goal is fiscal: since the higher rates on vehicle license fees are set to expire on June 30, Brown wants to give himself and state lawmakers as much time as possible to agree to an extension of the higher fees.
This makes political sense. But practically, it might make drivers nervous, since some could be driving with expired tags as a result of not getting renewals. The bill says that drivers with July or August registration stickers will have extra time to pay their fees and won't be ticketed by law enforcement.
U.S. & World
Combine this official sanction of registration scofflaws with roads pockmarked by potholes and in a general state of budget-related disrepair, and this summer might be a good time for Californians to walk or bike to where they're going.

I'm happy to report that Atlanta and I have returned from surprise visit to the 1970's. On a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago I stopped in at a local gas station for a routine fill up. This generally unmemorable event immediately became more noteworthy as the tires of my car rolled onto the filling station's pavement. The air around the car started to twist and writhe like it was filled with gas fumes. And then there was a bright light. While my vision recovered, I noticed my radio, which had been tuned to a top 40 station was playing "Afternoon Delight". What the hell?
My vision recovered not a moment too soon. I slammed the brakes and just missed rear-ending a vintage gas guzzler. "Where the hell did that come from?" I said aloud. From the road, I could clearly see that this gas station only had one other car, and it was gassing up at pump on the far side from this entrance.
I took a deep breath and looked around. There were cars everywhere. And not a single one of them from this century. Come to think of it, not a single one of them younger than 20 years old. What is this, a vintage car show? I wondered. Then I noticed the strange looks I was getting, sitting there in my pint-sized 2003 SUV. And stranger than the looks were the people giving them. It was like I was surrounded by extras from Dazed and Confused! Bell bottoms, wide collar expanses, and giant mops of hair were all around me.
Clearly, the last cigar I smoked had something in it besides tobacco, and I was freaking out. My instincts, which I generally trust, said "get the hell out of here, right now." But as I began to shift my car into reverse, a land yacht of a Cadillac pulled in behind me. Trapped! Screwed! Nothing to do now but go with the slow flow of groovy cars as they wait in line to gas up.
Before long retro folks in their vintage cars lost interest in my SUV and stopped staring. I started to relax when it became clear that they weren't zombies from a low budget 1970's horror film and meant me no harm. And as I relaxed, I started to feel boredom coming on. This line wasn't moving. Waiting for gas sucks. A lot. The radio wasn't helping. I switched it off when Barry Manilow started singing about writing the songs that make the whole world sing. I didn't feel like singing, and Mr. Manilow wasn't gonna force my hand. I grabbed my crackberry to amuse myself with some web browsing while I waited. No service, dammit.
As I dropped my phone on the passenger seat in disgust, I started to smile. I looked around, and sure enough, there wasn't a singled idiot bellowing into his cellphone. Whenever I'm stuck in line, it seems like there's always that moron who seems to think that shouting into his mobile will ensure it doesn't lose signal strength.
Slowly the line creeped forward, and I amused myself with people watching. Man, these people are skinny! I'm used to being about average weight-wise in any group of people, but clearly I'm the fattest guy here. And dear god, the tight polyester, how the hell can these people stand this heat and humidity wearing that crap?
Finally it was my turn. 13 gallons for $7.67. Damn, that almost made it worth waiting 45 minutes and the weird looks.
As I pulled away from the pump, I felt a cold shiver. Oh god, I hope I'm not stuck here. I can't imagine programming with punch cards! And just then the air outside my car got strange again. Another flash of light. And as I looked in my rear view mirror the old cars and and people were gone. The gas station was again mostly empty. The price sign listed unleaded gas at $3.91 a gallon and my blackberry buzzed to let me know I had a new email about cheap herbal Viagra. I sighed in relief and burned rubber getting the hell out of that gas station.
I think I'm going to start taking the bus.

I'm not a perfect foodie. For as much as I cook and dine out, and research restaurants and recipes, and read chefs' memoirs and food magazines, and bore and offend people with my meat small talk, and fall asleep in the middle of food history books and glasses of wine, there's a lot out there I don't know, don't like, and don't want to do. And a few things that I don't care about, too. Here is a modest list. Read the rest of this entry »
