Toni Talks about PT Today
The Perception About PT
Toni Patt
Last weekend I had dinner with some friends. One of my newer acquaintances knew what a physical therapist does. First he wanted to know what clinic I worked at. When I told him I work in a hospital, he wanted to know how I liked working with shoulders

Whose Profession Is It?
Toni Patt
Two weeks ago I attended a Texas Physical Therapy Association meeting. The speaker was Mike Conners, president of the TPTA. Last week I discussed my belief the APTA is too focused on issues, such as direct access, that do not affect the majority of PTs

My Worlds are Colliding
Toni Patt
Anyone who knows me is aware that I have two lives. One is my professional life. The other is my horses. Thanks to planning and a little luck, I've always been able to avoid scheduling conflicts. Sure there's been the occasional afternoon scramble to

'We're All Gonna Need Physical Therapy Soon'
Toni Patt
I spent last weekend at a horse show in San Antonio. Even though I had both show horses with me, there was still a lot of down time. Since everything is close quarters it's easy to overhear conversations. While I was waiting I was surprised to hear someone

Dosage Matters
Toni Patt
There were two common themes at CSM this year: dosage and intensity. Every clinical presentation I attended mentioned one or the other. Intensity was defined as how hard the patient is working. Dosage referred to the number or reps or duration in the

Wheelchair Races After Dinner in the Parking Lot
Toni Patt
At the SNF where I work part-time, the parking lot behind the building is built on an incline with a bend about three-fourths of the way down. There is a curb along the entire length of the descent. Last weekend, a resident told me it's possible to descend

MRSA and Football
Toni Patt
While I was driving home this evening, a news report came on the radio. Some professional football players have been placed on the injured list because they developed MRSA. I had to chuckle at the reporter as he conveyed the gravity of the situation.

Sharing Knowledge
Toni Patt
When I teach, I describe using mental imagery in motor learning and as anti-neglect strategy. One of the main tenets of motor learning is repetition or as I say, practice, practice and practice some more. The concept of using mental imagery isn't new.

How Old is Too Old for Therapy?
Toni Patt
Today at lunch we were talking about how much older our patients are today compared to years past. Someone observed that many of our older patients just want to stay in bed. They are worn out from living. She went on to say that when you've reached 90

Horse Show or TPTA Conference?

This afternoon I received the monthly email from the Texas Physical Therapy Association. It contained a prospectus for the upcoming annual conference and early registration. This is much smaller than the APTA's Combined Sections Meeting, probably not

Group Think Evidence

When I was at the horse show last weekend, I learned one of the show kid mothers is a PT. I learned this because she was treating another of the mothers using cranio-sacral therapy. I'm not sure what pushed more of my buttons, her treating someone on

'I Can't Help, My Back Hurts'
Toni Patt
This morning there was a patient on the floor so the request went out for lifting help. Four people responded, including me, a PTA, a male CNA and the patient's nurse. The patient was a big man, weak and in a narrow space so it wasn't going to be easy.

What Do I Include in CEUs?
Toni Patt
Recently I took on another challenge, writing a CEU module. When I agreed to do it, I thought no problem. This is what I teach. I already have an outline and references. I can just fill in the words. After I started writing, I realized something. When

Working from Home
Toni Patt
My current job comes with a perk I've never experienced before -- working from home. No, the patients don't come to me. Our documentation is Internet-based so I have the luxury of being able to write notes from home. Some people might say that is a curse,

The Red Fish

A few weeks ago, I wrote about using the Nintendo Wii and wondering how much help I should give my patients. Since that time, I've settled into helping them to either prevent frustration or teach a new motor program. That creates higher scores while enabling

Hello All,
I am new to the beverage industry, and am facing a dilemma. I came up with a name, and marketing scheme for a liquor brand. I believe that the concept is strong due to its marketing, and I am in the process of trademarking my ideas.
I have access to contacts at Jim Beam, and Diageo. Now, do I approach them and try to sell them my concept, and hope for cash and royalties?...Or do I go even more in debt, team up with a distillery, and try to produce and sell the product on my own? I have no problem with working hard on my own and building it up, but how much am I looking at?
And, most importantly, does anyone know what the most money any beverage company has payed a Joe Schmo for a concept?
Thanks for any help/advice. I appreciate it greatly.

Michael Barone provides an excellent short course on the perils of polling, in the context of this year's election. The key point is that in 2004, people who actually voted split exactly equally between Republicans and Democrats. On the other hand, current polling is showing party identification favoring the Democrats by 5 to 12 points. As Barone notes, party identification has historically changed only slowly. It is highly unlikely that the turnout on November 7 will favor the Dems by anything like 5 to 12 points. Which throws into question most if not all of the poll resuts we've all been seeing.
In addition, Barone points out that far fewer people generally vote in off-year than in Presidential elctions: 75 million in 2002, 122 million in 2004. Which means that this year, the parties' turnout operations are critical. Nearly everyone agrees that the Republicans have an edge in this department.
Barone doesn't draw this conclusion, but the implication of all of this is that Democrats shouldn't start popping the champage corks just yet.
PAUL adds: Last Friday, I had the pleasure of hearing Barone speak to the Washington D.C. chapter of the Federalist Society. Michael was full of insights such as those mentioned by John in this post and in Scott's post below. He was also tremendously funny — who knew that there was so much to laugh at in this election cycle.
Towards the end of the lunch Michael, polled the 100 plus conservative lawyers present as to our preference for the 2008 Republican nominee. Mitt Romney was the clear winner.

The member of "The Legion of Boom" most well-known for bringing the boom on the football field was absent from practice for the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday.
Safety Kam Chancellor was one of just two players held out of practice for the Seahawks on Wednesday. Chancellor missed practice and was listed as dealing with a hip injury on the team's injury report. Linebacker K.J. Wright isn't expected to play with as he recovers from a broken bone in his foot.
Chancellor has missed practice and been limited at times over the second half of the season with several minor injury issues. He appeared on the team's injury report as limited in Week 11 and Week 14 with a hip issue.
Despite the appearances on the injury report, Chancellor has played in every game for the Seahawks this season.Head coach Pete Carroll didn't mention Chancellor earlier this week when asked about injuries earlier this week.
Chancellor racked up 99 tackles, three interceptions and a forced fumble for Seattle.
In addition to receiver Percy Harvin fully participating in practice, tight end Luke Willson was also a full participant on Wednesday.
Willson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Seattle's season finale against the St. Louis Rams. Willson being able to be back to full speed on the practice field just a week-and-a-half after suffering the injury appears to be a strong sign he'll be able to play Saturday against the New Orleans Saints.

- Passwd::Keyring backend API
- Additional requirements
Passwd::Keyring backend API
This document describes the API
Passwd::Keyring::Something modules should implement to be usable via
Passwd::Keyring::Auto and to be easily swappable.
Passwd::Keyring::Backend->new(app=>'some app', group=>'passwords group/folder', %other_args);
The constructor initializes the backend, and constructs the object via which the further processing is to happen.
The constructor should perform sufficient initialization to ensure it can work properly and should fail (
croak or
die) in case given backend is not available (for example because some daemon is not running or some app not installed).
Passwd::Keyring::Auto module may try loading and initiating a few keyring types, and settle on the first which loaded and constructed succesfully.
Named arguments should be accepted and handled, but are all optional (the module should work without them providing some sane defaults). Two of those are standarized:
app- the name of the application using the library to store passwords
group- the name of folder/group/pack/...
app should be used as the calling application name in any interactive prompts, if they may happen (for example in KDEWallet's "Application X is asking to ..." prompt). If possible, it should also be used in some comment or label field of secure storage, but not inside a key (it should be possible to save the password under one app name, and recover using another app name, after all a few apps may share some password).
group should be used to separate the passwords (entries for the password of the same user in the same realm, but with different
group, should be separate), and - if only possible - to label the password in secure storage. Preferrable implementation is to use
group for folder name if secure storage has some notion of folders.
Note also PARAMETER SYNTAX section below.
app and/or
group are not specified, some sensible defaults should be applied (like
Passwd::Keyring::Backend for application name and
Passwd::Keyring::Passwords for group).
Backend is free to handle any other named arguments, but should function properly if they are omitted.
$keyring->set_password("John", "verysecret", "gmail.com");
Persistently set and save the password (or update previously saved password).
The method takes 3 arguments:
user_id- in most cases actually the user login id of a kind, but in general any identifier allowing to distinguish between different users
password- the password itself
realm- indicator of the kind/target of the password. In (frequent) case of internet passwords, it can be the domain name of web application, but backend should not assume any specific format.
In case underlying API places strict requirements on format of any of those values, the backend should appropriately modify them (escape, prefix, wrap, ...) to be as forgiving, as possible. Note also PARAMETER SYNTAX section below.
The only strict requirement is that
get_password appropriately matches those operation, and that different
user_id or
realm (or
group given in constructor) leads to separate password.
If possible, password should be labelled using parameters set in the constructor.
Actual key for the password should be built from
group given in
realm and
user_id. Changing any of those params should mean separate password.
$keyring->get_password("John", "gmail.com");
Reads previously saved password. The routine takes two arguments:
and should recover the exact password which was saved with the same
user_id and
realm (and
group) by earlier call to
In case no such password was saved, the method should return
set_password performed any kind of escaping,
get_password should revert it's effects. Note also PARAMETER SYNTAX section below.
$keyring->clear_password("John", "some password identifier");
Remove previously saved password. The routine takes two arguments:
and should wipe password for this key if it is saved (and do nothing otherwise).
if( $keyring->is_persistent() ) {
# ...
This helper method should return 1 (or any true boolean value) if passwords are really saved persistently and will be available after the program is terminated.
Most backends are expected to provide this guarantee (and return 1), emergency backends like
Passwd::Kering::Memory return 0.
Additional requirements
Keyring backends should be permissive with respect to application name, group name, username, password and realm syntax. This means escaping or replacing possibly illegal characters (for example, if some implementation dislikes
/ in realm, it should escape it somehow).
In particular, complete visible ASCII set (letters, digits, spaces, interpunction including slashes, dollars and hashes etc) should be accepted, and also non-latin letters.
If there are serious limitations on length of those parameters, they should be carefully documented. By default it is assumed up to 256 chars can be used for any param.
If possible, keyring objects should behave sensibly if more than one object is created within single program (do not crash, do not destroy data, share updates).
If this is impossible or difficult, it is recommended to disallow creation many objects (throw an exception on attempt to create second one).
Single keyring object is not required to provide any multithreading guarantees, users are expected to perform appropriate locking.
Separate keyring objects should function sensibly when simultaneously used in different threads. If this is difficult, the backend should not allow to create many objects in single program.
Multiple processes
Keyring objects should work properly when a few processes try to use the same data simultaneously.
In all practical cases this guarantee should be provided by underlying secure storage API.

The previous post was getting too huge but there is still so much to explore here. The walls are crumbling, people, and the hidden architecture is being revealed. It's staggering, even to an old symbol junkie like myself. I'm wondering if I'll ever get any work done if this keeps up.
Let's start with a Eartha Kitt/David Bowie reference:
The memory of Eartha's biography Thursday's Child provided David Bowie a title for his lead single and opening track of Hours. As Bowie revealed in VH1 Storytellers, "When I was about 14, Eartha Kitt and D. H. Lawrence were some of my favorite bedtime reading." The title was also a song that was sung by Eartha.First of all, I think the "Hours" title was a typo that didn't get caught at the CD plant. Try this:
That's better. Now, let's take a look at the cover of
Now, this is bugging me; where have we seen that all-male recreation of La Pieta before?
Oh, right. That's it.
Now, we've been looking at astro-Gnosticism lately. It's worth noting that Bowie's first film role was as an alien in the astro-Gnostic cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and that his ex-wife Angela also claims that Bowie himself is an alien. She may be right. Journalist Rob Leggatt wrote of the making of that film:
"Tabloid rumours of rock star weirdness emerged almost as soon as the six-week New Mexico shoot began. Bowie it was said, spent his spare time locked in a trailer scouring his library of 1,500 mystical books, consorting both with then wife Angie and heiress Sabrina Guinness and listening to 'Young Americans' played backward on a special turntable which made the recording sound like a Tibetan chant.In 1995, Bowie said of the 70s cocaine/occult years, "My overriding interest was in cabbala and Crowleyism. That whole dark and rather fearsome never-world of the wrong side of the brain. ... More recently, I've been interested in the Gnostics."
The film's New Mexico location, a hot spot for UFO activity, fuelled the madness. 'You could look up into the sky,' remembers the film's writer Paul Mayersburg, 'and see strange things every day.' Bowie, still a year away from his extended detox in Berlin, claimed several sightings."
I bet.
The back cover of
The snake reminds us that Orphite Gnostics believed that the serpent in the garden of Eden (who is never identified) was actually Christ, come to free Adam and Eve from Yaldaboath. We looked at that myth when Kirby incorporated it into a kiddie comic called Devil Dinosaur.
Alexandria- what a fascinating name
Bowie is also married to the supermodel Iman, who was born in Somalia, home of the Sirius Star pirates. She also played an androgynous, shape-shifting alien in one of the Star Trek films.
Speaking of models turned actress, Bowie sang the title song to the film Cat People, which starred Nastassja Kinski as a literal cat-woman. Synchs galore- Kinski married an Egyptian filmmaker named Ibrahim Moussa before shacking up with Quincy Jones,with whom she has a daughter named Kenya (and where does the Obama family come from?). "Cat People" was also sung by Tina Turner, another singer with a troubled history like Kitt.
Cat People, Bowie starred with Ka-Hathor-Ein Deneuve in The Hunger, an Egyptian/extraterrestrial/bisexual/vampire love story written by alien contactee Whitley Strieber.
Deneuve's character in The Hunger was named Miriam, which comes from Meresamun meaning "Beloved of Amun..."
...which is also the name of the Ancient Egyptian diva appearing in an exhibit at the University of Chicago, where Barack Obama taught law (and just a stone's throw from where the Obamas lived in Hyde Park).
...the ravishing Miss Beyonce Knowles (no relation- Beyonce also performed with Tina Turner at last year's Grammies).
Now that she's portrayed Etta James in the upcoming film, Cadillac Records, Beyonce has set her sights on another legend: Eartha Kitt. ABC News reports that Beyonce will star as the legendary singer-actress most known for her role as Catwoman. Two years ago, Eartha Kitt approved of Beyonce portraying her, and told PageSix.com it's about time she get her own movie saying, "My life has been so damned interesting."- TVOneOddly, Eartha Kitt was mentioned appropos of nothing in a recent news story concerning a feud between Beyonce and Etta James over Obama's inaugural festivities. Which I suppose brings it all full circle. Only this stuff never, ever ends.
Egyptian aliens, shape-shifters, chimeras, interracial romances; all denoting duality, hybridization. Why do we tell ourselves these stories?
UPDATE: Andre from Alien Project reminds us that Beyonce has taken on an alter-persona in Sasha Fierce, following in the footsteps of Bowie with Ziggy, Aladdin Sane, etc. Beyonce explains "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am."
Hmm, kind of sounds like a walk-in. It just occurred to me that all actors are essentially dissociative personalities, probably most pop stars as well. Which explains a lot.
UPDATE II: Wow, I should pay more attention to the pop scene. Actually, I shouldn't. But although I knew she was rocking the Witchblade meme in "Single Ladies," I hadn't realized that Beyonce was rocking the androgyny meme as well. Check out the videos here.
UPDATE III: What an interesting graphic that the New York Times is using to symbolize Obama's first 100 days.
UPDATE IV: Yacarete points us to Iman's appearance in this old Jacko vid (though that's not Nefertiti). Note the cats at the beginning.
UPDATE V: Ed reminds us that Beyonce was "Foxy Cleopatra" in Austin Powers: Goldmember.
UPDATE VI: Here's some true blue Synchronicty for you- I just tracked down the video for Bowie's "Thursday's Child" and it was uploaded by a user in Poitiers, France. The vid does a sort of mopey variation on the Harpo mirror routine from Duck Soup that David Duchovny and Michael McKean recreated in the "Dreamland" two-parter on The X-Files. Which reminds me, Mimi Rogers was in the first Austin Powers film.

Dallas Cowboys Tickets
Dallas Cowboys Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
America's Team is coming off a season with just their second playoff win since 1995. About time for 35 year old quarterback Tony Romo, who was excellent as usual throughout the regular season. But much like Detroit, it was a surprising defense that made the team among the NFL's best right from the start of the season. The defense faded down the stretch but the offense did not, led by superstars Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray. Murray signed with Philly in the offseason and the team did not draft a running back, but they did sign Darren McFadden. It'll be up to him, Lance Dunbar, and Joseph Randle to keep the running game moving. It won't be easy, but their solid offensive line gives even below average backs a major boost. Defensively the Cowboys signed Greg Hardy and Jasper Brinkley and drafted CB Byron Jones (Conneticut), and LB Randy Gregory (Nebraska), which solidifies an ailing pass defense. The Dallas Cowboys operate at AT&T Stadium in Arlington under head coach Jason Garrett. Garrett probably needed the playoff appearance to save his job in 2014, as the flailing mediocrity before that of Romo blowing fourth-quarter situations after lame defense put the team in bad positions wasn't sitting well at all with fans. Even if they had continued to be mediocre, they'd still be the biggest revenue-producer in the NFL, the most valuable sports team in North America. The Cowboys do have five Super Bowl titles, 10 Super Bowl appearances (although none in 20 years), 22 division championships, and 31 playoff appearances. The Cowboys can't use their resources to their advantage as much with the salary cap but they still have one of a kind allure to free agents, which certainly helped them bring in Hardy. The Cowboys are in primetime quite often, making for a great home atmosphere. 2015 home opponents include the NY Giants in prime time, Atlanta, New England, Seattle, Philly in prime time, Carolina, the NY Jets on Thursday, and Washington.

There is no fail-safe strategy that will tell you what the stock market will do.
There is no fail-safe strategy that will tell you what the stock market will do.
This was proven during the market crash of 2008. Some of the largest and most respected financial institutions, who had hired some of the smartest and best paid men and women in the world, went bankrupt. World-class companies were caught flat-footed.
Of course, in the aftermath of a financial upheaval or a raging bull market, it is easy to look back and see which investment strategies worked the best. However, when you are in the middle of the storm, it's hard to see which way the financial wind is blowing. I can tell you that advising clients during the stock market meltdowns of 2000 through 2002, and then again in 2008, was anything but easy.
Despite the obvious challenges of investing, there will always be those who want to offer you their latest million-dollar stock market strategy. They'll happily tell you that if you had used their special strategy, you would have known to shift your money out of bonds and stocks in 2008 and into gold for great performance. Uh-huh.
Here's one of my favorites: A self-proclaimed internet stock market guru says he took his student loan money in 2011 and made millions of dollars. Now, because he is "bored" with his success, he's offering to teach you his super-secret investing strategies, so you can do the same thing from the comfort of your own home. All for the bargain price of $130.
There are hundreds of strategies just as absurd as this example. They come in emails, newsletters, financial seminars, radio shows, slanted magazine articles, infomercials, and TV interviews. Fortunately, there are also real investment strategies that are used by professional investment advisers every day. Before we look at these strategies, let's talk about risk.
"Good" risk gets entrepreneurs up at 5 a.m., eager to start their day. Taking risks creates the opportunity for the long-term growth that we would never see if the investment world were one big mediocre CD. Our economic engines would stall if investors didn't have the potential to earn higher rates of return. What would be the point?
The heart of capitalism is the freedom to take risks, to fail, to succeed, and to receive handsome returns in exchange for those uncertainties.
Conversely, "bad" risk rouses investors from their sleep to ponder the latest stock market plunge and wonder whether they have more invested than they should.
Risk is the very real possibility that you could lose some or all of the money you put into either equity securities (common stocks, mutual funds or variable annuities) or fixed-income securities (commercial paper, preferred stock, REITs and bonds). Even in a well-crafted portfolio with a diversified mix of stock, bonds, REITs, preferred stock and mutual funds, there is risk; it may be reduced, but risk remains.
Done poorly, or with too much at stake, investing can be a disaster. Done well, with the right amount for the investor, it can be a picnic. For their "at-risk" money, investors and their advisers often use equity and fixed-income securities. Should all of your investment money be on the line? (That may sound like a loaded question.)
Actually, sometimes the answer is "yes." If you are far enough away from retirement, all of it could be invested in securities. Most of the time, however, the answer is "no." I encourage investors to put only a portion of their retirement money into securities.
Where do you put money you want to keep safe? Banks and insurance companies are the dominant merchants of "safe" money. Banks offer money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Insurance companies offer fixed annuities. I like to see retirement income come mainly from these stable choices. And, of course, there is always cash.
The overall markets have bounced back many times, but individual investments aren't always so resilient, and sometimes they become worthless (e.g., Enron and Lehmann Brothers).
That means, literally, you could lose 100% of your money if the investment security you've purchased goes bad (which is why diversification is so important).
The securities industry has long encouraged investors to keep their money invested in the markets, despite what may happen to the market or the economy, or what phase of life someone has reached. And when the markets fall, these risk brokers have two well-rehearsed talking points: "Hey, don't worry; it'll come back," or "Everybody lost money, so you're not alone."
The truth is the market might not bounce back quickly enough to repair the damage. Also, what other investors experience should give you no consolation, nor should it be relevant to you. If you AND one million other people all go bankrupt at the same time, that doesn't make you any less bankrupt. Remember, it is the brokerage firm's business to sell securities (that's what "broker" means). Keep that in mind when they make recommendations.
For their clients' at-risk money, most investment professionals seek to: 1. Maximize performance for the selected level of risk, and 2. Reduce the risk of loss and volatility for the target performance.
I know this sounds circular, but that's what investment strategies are designed to do: get as much return for the amount of risk taken and minimize the amount of risk for the return desired. Sound investment strategies using equity and/or fixed-income securities have the potential to achieve these results.
You can also have your portfolio tailored to your individual situation.
To guide clients in how they should invest, most advisers rely heavily on a "risk tolerance questionnaire" or "investment suitability questionnaire." These questionnaires help the adviser determine the appropriate strategy to be used. If the adviser you are working with wants you to complete a more detailed questionnaire, please comply. The better he or she understands you and your situation, the better his or her advice can be.
If you do choose to hire an adviser to manage your money, be candid; don't pretend to be more aggressive or more conservative than you really are; don't try to be the investor you'd like your friends or family to think you are. If you do, you will be very sorry later.

What we know for a fact is that her name is identical to the ancient Ainu word for "wolf" (link already provided) ... its one hell of a coincidence if there isn't an intentional connection. Ainu words *are* written in katakana and its spelled both in the light novels and in the Ainu dictionaries using the same characters: ホロ
An additional problem is that there's no European given name that approximates her name.
Basically, the counter-argument you're using seems to be "we don't know for sure unless the author explains how he developed her name" - which is something I have to concede and why it'll never be utterly certain until then. But authors don't just pull their names out of the air - they design them to connect to the character.
Side note, Japanese look at alphabetical letters with an eye to their 'elegance' or 'coolness' factor which sometimes drives their choices more strongly than standards or accuracy. I've been told by a couple of correspondents that "L" simply looks nicer than "R" to their eye.
Hey, if it turns out I'm wrong I'll fold ... its just that so far the weight of the evidence seems to point to "Horo" more than "Holo". Either way, I'll pronounce it exactly the same

I usually just pronounce it the way she says in the first episode, and the way Lawrence usually says it.
The problem is that when I go rebuild my shrine, I'm still debating whether to use an R or an L for the English sign.

My favorite Holo characteristics are:
1. Mature Feeling (when she changes the look in her eyes and her tone to match an etiquette manner)+combined with her fragile stature and relentless poise.
2. Her Accent+ Voice(Its quite comfortable to the ear)
3. Frank Attitude ( she's inconsistent yet true)
4. Inconsistencies (personality switches)
5. Her Age + Feel of Wisdom(that makes me think, what if she looked like a grandma, i wonder how their relationship would've progressed)
6. Relaxed and Very composed yet still threatened by danger.
7. last but not least, her yearning for company.
-she's strong yet weak...quite a trait I admire.

Although Horokeu Usui (Horo Horo) of SHAMAN KING with the same origin of a word uses "R" spelling, I do not know why S&W uses "L" spelling.
Probably, someone of Mediaworks editorial departments decided this, because the author had said that he was poor at English.
Although there is no Horo in "ENGLISH PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY OF PROPER NAMES" which I have, there is Holo.
Or it seems to be Roman alphabet spelling in case of "Horo." Probably, they hated becoming so.
Probably this affair will be based on such a trivial reason.

That was from a search of various world "baby-names" listings, so YMMV. But it was the *only* listing at all. I also tried umlaut variants like Hölo.
I guess its just hard for some to admit that it just MIGHT be possible that someone in the graphics art department failed their romaji class or that it may simply have been that "l" looked cooler to the decider than "r". So it goes, like I said I'll probably just be writing ホロ from now on.

Horo is really a beautifully pathetic character, so much so that it hurts. She seems so desperately lonely that she's willing to accept Lawrence as her companion, falls so completely for him, and yet keeps pushing him away for fear of being even lonelier in the end. She is too proud to admit defeat, even to herself, and yet Lawrence has her completely in the palms of his hands (even if he doesn't know what to do with her yet).

Quick questions for you Spice and Wolf afficionados:
Due to a very, shall we say odd circumstances, i ended up showing a few episodes to friends who don't regularly watch anime and the reaction right off the bat about Horo was the following:
1.) From the Renaissance Italian History buff: "She acts like a Venetian Courtesan! Her verbal sparring is exactly what they used to do!"
2.) From the Elderly Japanese gentleman/Relative of Friend: "Hahaa. She's like a heroine in a chambara Edo-period drama. She fits the mold of one of those "meek tea house girls/dangerous women" who with their Samurai/Merchant lovers helped overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate."
3.) From my Classic Films-otaku friend: "She's got a lovely Audrey Hepburn-esque quality. Go watch the move Roman Holiday with Carey Grant, Horo's got it down to a T."
4.) From a Guy who spent a little too much time/money in some of the shadier places in Ginza/Kabuki-cho: "All the smart Bar Girls i've ever known are like Horo. The know how to make the best conversation, stroke your ego, and drain your wallet dry before you know it, and you get left with nothing but maybe a wink and a smile."
Which kind of led me to the question: Has the writer ever actually stated what inspired Horo's personality?
The character traits of the above mentioned seem pretty much the same, with the same weakness too: Loneliness and Alienation.

2)+4). One of the other threads mentions that her speaking style resembles the style used by Edo-era or generally 19th-early 20th century courtesans... or perhaps shall we say prostitutes? I believe the author did intend for her to speak like this.
3). Because she is a god after all. She carries an air of nobility and elegance that is punctuated again by her charming wit. Pretty much why everyone in this subforum worships her to an unhealthy degree.

Hundreds searching for suspect in Orlando officer's death
Loyd was urged to turn himself in during press conference
Loyd was urged to turn himself in during press conference
Orlando authorities are offering $100,000 for the suspect wanted for questioning in the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
An Orlando police sergeant was shot and killed Monday after responding to the scene where the suspect was located. During the massive manhunt, a second law enforcement officer was killed in a motorcycle crash while in pursuit.
Orlando police Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, 42, was shot by Markeith Loyd, 41, after she spotted him outside the Walmart on Princeton Street around 7:15 a.m. Monday, police Chief John Mina said.
Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Norman Lewis, an 11-year veteran, was killed in a crash as authorities gave pursuit.
Loyd has managed to elude authorities since the shooting, despite hundreds of Central Florida law enforcement agents joining the search.
Mina said Loyd could face charges of first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer.
"We will track him down to the ends of the earth," Mina said during a news conference Monday afternoon.
Clayton was married with a college-age son. Her colleagues described her as an officer who loved to give back to the community that she called home her entire life.
Police records show that she was among the early wave of officers who responded to Pulse nightclub on June 12. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to our Orlando Police Department. Today, 2 heroes were taken from our city. We stand with you," Pulse said in a post on its official Facebook page.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer declared Monday an official day of mourning.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott said he was "heartbroken and angered" over the loss of lives.
Lewis received a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from the University of Central Florida, where he played for the Knight's football team.
Authorities have been searching for Loyd since Dec. 13, when they say he killed Sade Dixon, 24, a mother of two who was three months pregnant when she was fatally shot.
Police said Loyd has an extensive criminal record. He was released from federal prison on cocaine charges in 2014 and his arrest record in Orange County dates back to 1994.
During a news conference Monday Demings urged Loyd to turn himself in. The sheriff said the best thing he could tell the suspect is to surrender so the situation can be resolved peacefully.
Mina said Tuesday, in a video posted on the department's Twitter page, that teams of detectives are following all leads and hundreds of officers and deputies are searching for suspect Markeith Loyd.

There is a lot I love about this little Green Violet-ear Hummingbird. First it is tiny - only 4" long. Then it has those glowing colors - green with the violet splotch on the side of its head. And look at the tones in those tail feathers - they're gorgeous. Oh and what about the delicate filigree of its feathers (when you look close). The fine curve of its beak, with hints of nectar on it, is beautifully sculpted. Perhaps what makes this so special is that it chose to hover for a few seconds right in front of me. During that time its little wings were flapping at about 50 times per second (yes per second). Put it all together and there is a lot to like about this little hummer.
Seen in the highlands of Costa Rica near Los Quetzales National Park.
GBH on Lake Martin
This lake is home to an amazing rookery which is wonderful to see in the spring. On a hot summer's day, there is still plenty of wildlife here, including this Great Blue Heron that allowed us to drift slowly by its perch on an old cypress tree. The spanish moss rounds out the background wonderfully.
On a reed
Colibri Color
Anyone who has tried to photograph birds, especially hummingbirds, knows that it can be somewhat hit or miss and often its more miss than hit. Every now and then, however, it all just works - the light is perfect, the focus locks in, you have your aperture and shutter speed right and your subject is a stunner.
I thought I had worked through most of my Costa Rica pictures. Tonight, I suddenly found this shot, that I had missed before, of a Blue-throated Goldentail Hummingbird that is lined up with its unique salmon-colored beak on a Porter Weed flower. This was taken at a rather magical place called La Cusinga Lodge, near Uvita.
Oh wait! You're right - I think I'm stuck too!
Footless Willets on Playa Ballena. ;-)
Lilac-breasted Roller
The Pueo is a type of Short-eared owl endemic to Hawaii. This one, that we spotted while we were driving across the Big Island of Hawaii and entertained us for a few minutes before perching on a fence post.
Blue-crowned Motmot
Yesterday I posted my last hummer picture, This is the last picture from Costa Rica - at least for a while. This motmot is a very beautiful bird and when it chose to perch on a moss covered branch with an orchid growing next to it - well you can't script it better than that.
This was taken in Curi-Cancha Wildlife Refuge near Monteverde in the Costa Rican highlands.
Classic pose
We had a fresh dusting of snow today providing a pure white backdrop to this little White-breasted Nuthatch. This upside-down stance, with head tipped back, is such a classic pose by this little bird.
A white-backed vulture in Botswana
Well picked perch
Don't you just love it when a beautiful bird chooses a pretty perch. This Green Violet-ear hummingbird did. Can't say this happens very often. I wish they were as picky about their perches as this particular photographer if you pardon the alliteration.
Thistle stop
It's always fun going on a photowalk with friends - especially when they have a new camera. In the space of two minutes at this spot in Independence Grove, we had an Indigo Bunting, Ruby-throated Hummingbird and this male American Goldfinch perch right in front of us. It was a fun and successful walk.
This little Anna's Hummingbird entertained us for some time on a stroll through the park at Malibu Bluffs on a recent brief trip to California. I was really not expecting to be able to add to my hummer collection - I even had to run back to the car for a decent lens. It was worth it and thankfully the hummer stuck around for me.
More of my hummingbird pictures are at my website, http://colinmichaelisphotography.com.
Rufous-tailed Hummingbird
So, over the last two months I have worked my way through most of my worthwhile hummingbird pictures from a few days spent in Costa Rica. It is amazing to me that there are 11 hummer species we photographed - maybe one or two more we saw but didn't get pictures of. Some are from the lowlands in the rain-forest, some from the cloud-forest highlands and some like this rufous-tailed were seen at thecoast.
I think this brings to an end my series for now - there are a few more but they are almost duplicates so I I may come back to them later. I end this streak with one of my two favorites. The Porter Weed that the hummer was drinking from was at a great angle, the Rufous-tailed presented me with a nice profile and the flowers behind made for a wonderful background.
Hope you enjoyed my hummers in this sequence half as much as I enjoyed capturing them.
Let me try some pink... EXPLORE Front Page!
The series is continuing. This little Hummingbird tried several different Zinnias. So we'll do the rounds with it.
Explored #14
Collared Aracari
The bird life, both the abundance and the variety of species, is quite amazing in Costa Rica, So far we have spent time in the rain forest and in the mountains. Now we are off to the coast, This Aracari, in the Toucan family, was seen near the Sarapiqui River in the rain forest.
Perfect pink perch
This is the last of my hummer series for a while. I love her choice of perch in this shot. The little bit of pollen on the tip of her beak is charming and that delightful twinkle in the eye makes this my favorite of my recent hummer shots.
Red-billed hornbill
Yellow-billed Stork fly by
So many amazing birds to see in the Chobe River area. I know we barely scratched the surface.
I need help with a caption here. What's the penguin (seen on Boulders Beach in Simon's Town, South Africa) saying? I was thinking something like -
"Hey Allen, have you seen Steve? He's dancing on the beach again."
I am sure you can do better. So what's the penguin saying?
Perfect miniature
I was hoping I would get one last chance to capture these amazing little creatures before they left for Central America. So I was delighted to find a couple of them still enjoying the flowers at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It is hard not to be astounded by the sheer perfect detail in these tiny little birds. (Ruby-throated Hummingbird).
Iconic Africa
If you grew up in Africa and even if you have visited the Afrian bush, the call of the fish eagle is something that you never forget. It was thrilling every time we saw a fish eagle or heard that call, as we did often in Chobe.

These Forgefix Masonry Anchor Projection Bolts have a Zinc Yellow Passivated finish for increased durability and resistance to corrosion. They have a tough and reliable construction to cover most heavy-duty fixing applications. The four-way expansion shield offers extremely strong and secure anchorage, and the specially manufactured retaining spring ensures encapsulation of the wedge during expansion.
Projection bolts offer easier fixture removal or repositioning due to the bolt remaining in the shield.
APPLICATION:Ideal for securing reinforcement wall plates, lighting supports, guy ropes and bracketry.Ensure the correct socket drive or spanner is used to ensure accurate installation.
When sizing a Masonry Anchors it is most important to know the depth of the material that you are fixing.Eg: Size M610: The 'M6' is the thread size of the bolt. The '10' denotes the maximum thickness of material it will fix.
The Zinc Yellow Passivation process of electroplating is similar to the 'Galvanised' and 'Zinc Plated' processes but with the addition of a yellow dye. It provides a coating that is aesthetically pleasing, and which offers excellent resistance to corrosion.

Inalambrik, a South American firm specializing in software for BlackBerry smartphones, is launching JadBlack (Java Accelerated Development for BlackBerry). A key JadBlack feature is its use of the Perst Lite embedded database from McObject to add record storage, search, retrieval, and other highly efficient database features to mobile business applications for BlackBerry devices.
Inalambrik plans to introduce JadBlack this fall during the Latin American BlackBerry Collaboration Forum, which it is cosponsoring.
"Two years ago, we looked for a tool that would allow us to speed up the application development process in the Java ME environment of BlackBerry smartphones. We didn't find anything that met our needs so we started the JadBlack Project to provide a code generator with a highly visual interface," said Inalambrik Director Rogelio Arosemena.
"With JadBlack, the developer defines application components, and the tool generates all the Java ME code to run on either the BlackBerry simulator or on the device. The command set is small but powerful: a few JadBlack command lines represent hundreds of lines of Java code. The developer describes what an application must do, rather than programming it. This eases both development and maintenance," Arosemena said.
Increasingly, mobile applications require an on-device database management system (DBMS) to provide fast, efficient data storage, sorting and retrieval. The open source, object-oriented Perst Lite embedded database offered the right combination of speed, portability, flexible storage (including on SD cards) and other features, Arosemena said. JadBlack adopted Perst Lite as its default DBMS and now includes a development copy of McObject's database. With Perst Lite, JadBlack's database integration features include:
- Tables and indexes visually designed in JadBlack's integrated development environment (IDE)
- Record management commands (insert, update, delete, commit, rollback)
- Record key search command (search)
- Fast selection of multiple records using secondary indexes
- Automatic index maintenance during insert or update commands

Collars really make an impact on your entire look. The demure "peter pan" collar coveys an innocence that can belie the true nature of the person underneath. A dainty lace collar will make you think of a few decades back and imagine that you smell dusting powder and not even think of saying the word damn in front of that person.
The exagerated pointed or rounded collar immediately takes you to the 60's and 70's reminding you of London or Funk. I often see coats with the shawl collar and fur surrounding the shoulders and right away think of a lovely grandmother lady or a cool hipster over in Williamsburg shopping at vintage clothing stores and making the most of a decade gone by.

Mary V. Bauman of Grand Rapids has been elected chairperson of the Hope College Board of Trustees, which has also elected several new members.
She succeeds Joel V. Bouwens, who has concluded the two four-year terms chairs may serve but will continue to be a member of the board. Her tenure began on July 1.
Hope President Dr. James E. Bultman praised both leaders for the high quality of their service to the college.
"Joel Bouwens has been an exceptional chair of the Hope College Board of Trustees for these past eight years," Bultman said. "His leadership, wise counsel, and generous time commitment have together been an inspiration to me personally and to so many others. Joel's commitment to the mission of the college and his passion for Hope to be the best it can be in every facet of its operation are exemplary."
"We are fortunate to have a person of Mary Bauman's caliber who is both willing and able to lead the Trustees during this next chapter of the college's life," he said. "Mary has demonstrated her commitment to Hope as a Trustee and will serve the college well in this new leadership role."
Other transitions on the board include the election of a new vice-chair, the Rev. Dr. William R. Boersma of Holland, to succeed Brian W. Koop of Holland, who had concluded the four years a vice chair may serve. Dr. David W.

Been awhile, hasn't it? That's because life has been a nonstop action-packed adventure flick for the last few weeks.
After chewing my nails for weeks waiting to find out about jobs, I got not one, but two job offers! It came down to choosing between Midwestern State University and University of Mid-Atlantic, Flagship. My preference was clear; I used the offers to negotiate a slightly better package (and my offer was already pretty stellar) and then sealed the deal at Mid-Atlantic. In a few months, we'll be moving our nest south of the Mason-Dixon, where I'm pretty sure they eat Yankees like me, to a sprawling metro area. In August, I'll officially become an assistant professor.
It's both terrifying and exhilarating. I haven't had enough down time for terror to really sink in, though. As soon as I signed the offer letter, we started the mad race to get our house ready to sell.
If you've never prepared a house to list, you probably have no idea what kind of horrific endurance test I'm talking about. For nearly a month, every day, evening, and weekend has been filled with scraping, scrubbing, painting, repairing, upgrading, and facelifting our 86-year-old bungalow. In the process, I've triggered a carpal tunnel flare-up that requires me to wear a brace at night (minimum) if I want to sleep.
In addition to overhauling the kitchen, touching up all the things, disposing of tons of stuff we don't plan to move, and packing away everything we could possibly live without, we shelled out for a staging consultant and a pre-listing home inspection. There's nothing for the ego quite like getting multiple professional opinions on the deficiencies of your home.
As a result, we still have a to-do list for repairs after the inspection, and we pretty much completely rearranged our house. Only 2 or 3 pieces of furniture remain where they were before. It's disorienting and frustrating to live in a space that feels so foreign and temporary. It's also nerve-wracking to try to keep everything spotless, depersonalized, and perfectly orderly for unknown visitors who may descend with minimal notice at any time.
But that's just the beginning. The really stressful thing, which I try to ignore, is that we need to sell our house fast so that we have a down payment for new living quarters. And boy oh boy is housing expensive in our new neighborhood. Like, three to six times higher cost than we currently pay. Ouch.
So despite a 50% raise in my pay, Mr. Chickadee hasn't yet had time to secure a job, and we have very little buying power. We can only finance about double the house we have now, and you can't touch a house like ours in the new locale for less than five times the value of our current property. What that means for us, because renting is even more absurd, is shopping for condos and townhouses instead of traditional single-family homes. But it looks like we've found a decent area for our needs, so we're planning to take that university-funded house-hunting trip later this month.
At the same time, I just had an article in the crème de la crème scientific publication, got invited to facilitate a workshop in Italy (yes! yes! yes!), and got sucked into heading up Mid-Atlantic's end of an NSF proposal with only a week to write the grant. My travel schedule for the next few months is off the charts: six trips before we move, and a few more after that. It's stressful and exciting, and it's really all good, so long as I can keep my wits about me.
It's been mind-boggling, kids. Wish me luck! I'll try to check in again soon.

My favorite part was when the team cheered for Tommy. My favorite character is the receiver because he caught the ball and made a touchdown. This story relates to my life because I love sports. I like how each page showed pictures of the people in the story.
I think others should read this story because it is a really good book. It is awesome, cool, and has a nice ending.

Spoil No More: Asparagus
Nothing puts a dent in your day like discovering moldy, wrinkled fruits and veggies in your kitchen. This week, we'll share some natural tricks to keep your produce fresher, longer!
Case #4: Atrophied Asparagus
Packed with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins, asparagus is always a great vegetable to add to your diet. Yet while it is renowned for the health benefits it provides, it is simultaneously notorious for its shelf life. Asparagus stored in the refrigerator lasts for only about two days after it is has been bought from the market. If you are an avid asparagus eater, you know that the stalks shrink in size, crispness, and taste if you don't cook them within 48 hours. Their shriveled and wrinkled appearance isn't an indication that the thermostat in your fridge is too low, but a result of asparagus's respiration rate (or the rate in which fruits and vegetable spoil), which is high. Of course, the best way to enjoy this delicious veg is to cook it the day it's bought. But that isn't always going to be the case, especially when your in-laws come unexpectedly into town and are dying to try the neighborhood BBQ place featured on Man v. Food!
So. . . kick into plan B. Another great way to ensure that your asparagus doesn't become your next produce casualty is to do the following:
Cut off about an inch from the bottom of the stalks. Then, store upright in a cup, vase, or jar of room-temperature water. Lastly, cover the tops of the asparagus with a plastic bag (grocery bags or ziplocs will work) to retain moisture, and store in the refrigerator. Your asparagus will last a few days longer and, what's better, your cream of asparagus soup or prosciutto-wrapped roasted asparagus will taste just as new and fresh!

To learn the basics of connecting your Mac to a Windows-based PC via SMB, see these articles, then read the Notes below for more information and troubleshooting tips.
- Mac OS X v10.6 Help: Connecting your Mac directly to a Windows computer
- Mac OS X v10.6 Help: If you can't connect to a Windows computer from a Mac
- Mac OS X v10.5 Help: Connecting your Mac directly to a Windows computer
If you're using OS X Mavericks or later, see this article instead.
- When you go to the Connect to Server dialog, you may browse the names of computers that are on your local subnet.
- You can connect to a server via its IP address or DNS name. If it is required or more convenient in your environment, you may also use other valid URL formats, such as:
smb://ServerName/ShareName smb://DOMAIN;User@ServerName/ShareName
- The name of the "share" (the shared disk, volume, or directory) must be specified. You will not be prompted for it.
- You cannot type spaces as part of the share name when connecting. In place of any space in the share name, type: %20 .
- When troubleshooting a connection issue, you can ping the IP address of the Windows PC using the Network Utility application. A successful ping verifies a TCP/IP connection between the two computers. This is an important first troubleshooting step when there's no response or a timeout for a connection attempt, since SMB connections involving a Mac require TCP/IP. However, a successful ping does not mean the SMB service is also working or available.
- Check Microsoft support resources for information about setting up file sharing on your Microsoft Windows-based computer. These may include Help files installed on your PC or the Microsoft online Knowledge Base. For example, see this article for Windows XP information: How to use the Simple File Sharing feature to share files in Windows XP.
- When troubleshooting an SMB connection issue, use Console, which is located in the Utilities folder. Note that some log files only appear when logged into Mac OS X with an administrator account.
- If you are connecting to Windows XP, make sure that the Internet Connection Firewall settings are not interfering with your connection. SMB uses ports 137, 138, 139, and 445. These ports should be open on the Windows XP computer. This may require "Advanced" configuration of the XP firewall.
- If you are connecting to a Windows SMB resource, check to see if the firewall is blocking TCP ports 137, 138, 139 and 445. After trying the above steps, you may perform advanced troubleshooting by inspecting log entries in the Event Log of the Windows SMB resource (if you have access to it), and/or the Mac OS X computer's relevant logs in the Console application. If those steps do not help identify the issue, or you do not want to perform advanced troubleshooting, than you should contact your network administrator. It may be necessary to contact your network administrator in some situations in order to grant access to your Mac from the SMB resource, or its host network configuration.
- Mac OS X uses SMB only over the TCP/IP protocol, not the NetBEUI protocol.

Producer: New York is best home for Fallon's 'Tonight'
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- NBC's "Tonight Show" is moving back to New York because it's the right place for its next host, producer Lorne Michaels said Tuesday.
Jimmy Fallon has "the energy of the city," said Michaels, who will produce "Tonight" when Fallon takes the show over from Jay Leno next year.
The move also is a tribute to New York itself, said Michaels, the longtime force behind Manhattan-based "Saturday Night Live." Public opinion of the city has changed since Johnny Carson took the "Tonight Show" to California in 1972, the producer said.
He made his comments during a Q&A session with comedian Martin Short at a Hollywood Radio Television & Society lunch in Beverly Hills.
Michaels, who like Short is a native of Canada, reminisced about visiting New York as a teenager and seeing a taping of "Tonight" with Jack Paar, who hosted from 1957 to 1962.
"I remember how magic that was," said Michaels, 68. He added later that Betty White was a guest that night, a testament to the staying power of some stars even as audiences show less patience for veterans.
He touched only briefly on the upcoming changes in NBC's late-night schedule and didn't address who will fill Fallon's spot on "Late Night."
Instead, he and Short, a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member who starred in the 1986 movie "Three Amigos!" produced and co-written by Michaels, kept the focus on "SNL" and Michaels' career.
The show never holds back on mocking politicians of any stripe or even friends in the business, Michaels said, but he does try to avoid attacking "our own," a reference to former cast members. He recalled a misstep involving Eddie Murphy.
Then-cast member David Spade made an on-air reference to Murphy as a "falling star," a jab at the state of Murphy's film career. That prompted a call to Spade from Murphy, who gave him "a half-hour of the truth: 'You're standing on my shoulders,'" Michaels recalled.
"And it was true. It was a mistake on our part," he said, noting the show didn't otherwise mock Murphy.
"There were a lot of things we didn't do," Michaels said.
"Let's list them," said Short, impishly.
Although "SNL" has had its ups and downs with viewers and critics, Michaels said it remains a badge of honor to host the show and join the ranks of such stars as Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and Justin Timberlake.
"So many people are angry" at not being asked, he said, without naming names, but he said the invitation can never be a favor.
"It only works in the ratings and in the studio if when the door opens the audience is incredibly excited," Michaels said.

Search for suspected Orlando cop killer continues, police offering $100K reward
Markeith Loyd is wanted for questioning in the shooting of Officer Debra Clayton in a Walmart parking lot
Markeith Loyd is wanted for questioning in the shooting of Officer Debra Clayton in a Walmart parking lot
Markeith Loyd is wanted for questioning in the shooting of Officer Debra Clayton in a Walmart parking lot
Authorities on Wednesday are starting the third day of a manhunt for the man accused of fatally shooting an Orlando police officer.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina announced at a news conference on Tuesday that the reward is being raised from $60,000 to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Markeith Loyd, 41.
Orlando police Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, 42, was shot by Loyd after she spotted him outside the Walmart on Princeton Street around 7:15 a.m. Monday, Mina said.
Clayton had approached Loyd outside the store after someone tipped her off that he was in the area. He was wanted for questioning in the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon, 24.
Authorities also said Tuesday that arrest warrants are being prepared for people who may have helped Loyd elude deputies who sought to question him in the murder of Dixon.
A little more than two hours after Clayton was shot Monday, Orange County Sheriff's Office Deputy First Class Norman Lewis was killed when his motorcycle collided with a van as he was responding to the search for Loyd.
In the days following the shooting of Clayton and the death Lewis, Orlando's law enforcement community has tried to mourn the loss of their colleagues while continuing to search for Loyd.
Clayton's patrol SUV was parked Tuesday outside the agency's headquarters in downtown Orlando and the department started an online fund to raise money for her family.
At the Walmart where Clayton was shot shoppers are laying flowers, teddy bears and candles in the parking lot.
At the Chick Fil-A on University Boulevard, a restaurant where Lewis was a regular, a table has been set in his honor. Lewis' colleagues said they lost a "gentle giant."
Lewis received a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from the University of Central Florida, where he played for the Knight's football team.
Funeral services for Lewis will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at First Baptist Orlando. A viewing will be held from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said. A second service for Lewis will be held in his hometown at a later date.
Funeral services for Clayton will be Saturday at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Orlando.
As the community continues to mourn, Mina said his agency is doing everything it can to catch Loyd. Mina said Tuesday that teams of detectives are following all leads and hundreds of officers and deputies are searching for Loyd.
