Here are your Early Signings for November 23rd.
Kentucky signs Nine for 2010 Season
LEXINGTON, Ky. — After securing two top-six recruiting classes in his first two seasons at the helm of the Kentucky baseball program, UK head coach Gary Henderson announced Monday that nine talented prospects have signed national letters of intent.
"We are really excited about our 2010 class," Henderson said. "The last two years, we have had top-ranked classes and this group of student-athletes is every bit as good. One of the best things about this class is that we have a solid group of Kentucky kids who come to UK. We are extremely excited that we could keep these Kentucky guys home for their college careers."
In his first season as head coach, Henderson, recruiting coordinator Brad Bohannon and assistant coach Brian Green – a former recruiting coordinator at UCLA – signed the fourth-best recruiting class in college baseball, as ranked by Baseball America before the 2009 season. Earlier in the fall, Collegiate Baseball ranked UK's current freshman class as the sixth-best class in the NCAA.
Arkansas State adds Glidewell to 2010-2011 Freshman Class
JONESBORO, Ark. (11/23/09) – Arkansas State head baseball coach Tommy Raffo announced Monday that Wentzville, Mo. (Timberland High School) pitcher Jon Glidewell signed a National Letter of Intent during the Nov. 11-18 early signing period to continue his baseball career at ASU.
A 6-2, 170-pound left-hander, Glidewell earned all-conference honors following his junior season at Timberland after posting a 5-2 record that included a 3-0 mark in conference action, with an ERA of 1.52. Glidewell led the Wolves to victory over the defending Missouri state champions in the 2009 district semifinals, throwing a complete-game shutout to get the victory.
St. Mary's adds two pitchers for 2010-2011 Freshman Class
Moraga, CA – Saint Mary's head baseball coach Jedd Soto announced today the signing of Ben Griset and Jordan Mills to national letters of intent. Griset and Mills are left-handed pitchers from the Central California, and are the first two players to sign with Saint Mary's for the 2010-11 school year.
"We have a talented, young roster for the spring of 2010 and are trying to fill specific needs in our recruiting class this year, and we are excited to add two of the top left-handed pitchers in the state of California to our program," said Soto. "Both pitchers have exceptional command of four pitches they can throw in any count during a game. Both are also of high character and will represent Saint Mary's College on and off the field; we expect them to make an immediate impact on our pitching rotation."
UAB adds Aaron Warren to Recruiting Class
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Aaron Warren, a right-handed pitcher from Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Ga., recently signed a National Letter of Intent during the early signing period to attend UAB and compete for the Blazer baseball program.
As a junior this past spring, Warren earned second-team all-county honors at Sandy Creek for coach Eddie Householder. Listed at 6-foot-7, 190 pounds, Warren went 5-2 on the mound with a 3.32 ERA. He recorded 41 strikeouts while walking just four batters in 44 1/3 innings of work.
UNCW announces 2010-2011 Freshman Class
WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNC Wilmington head baseball coach Mark Scalf has announced the additions of Josh Abshire, Dillon Bass, Drew Farber, Ricky Holden, Ryan LaGrange, Christian MacDonald, William Prince, Kelly Secrest and Luis Renvill to play baseball for the Seahawks and continue their education at UNCW beginning in 2010.
"We're excited to have these young men entering the Seahawk Baseball family," said Scalf, who begins his 19th season as head coach. "This is an outstanding group of athletes who will be counted on to help fill the void created by the loss of our large senior class. Coach Randy Hood and Coach Jason Howell did a great job identifying players with excellent ability, solid character and great make-up who want to be Seahawks.
UCSB signs nine for 2010-2011 Season
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The UC Santa Barbara baseball team announced on Monday that it is bringing in an impressive nine players following the National Letter of Intent fall signing period.
Committing to play at UCSB are six full-time pitchers, a middle infielder, an outfielder and a player who is expected to both pitch and catch.
"To sign nine guys with this type of ability is exciting for the program," UCSB head coach Bob Brontsema said. "The staff, with Coach Tom Myers and Coach Jason Lefkowitz, has worked hard to put this together. These are quality young men that get the job done in the classroom as well. We still feel that we will be adding to this class in the spring because we will surely be hit by the draft of our current players. But, this is a great day for Gaucho baseball."
Penn State signs seven for 2010-2011 Season
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State head baseball coach Robbie Wine announced on Monday the signing of seven top recruits to National Letters of Intent. Among the class are five of the top prospects from Pennsylvania and two from Massachusetts. The group, that will join the program in the fall of 2010, consists of two pitchers, three position players and two others who can both pitch and play in the field.
"I am extremely excited about this incoming class, both on and off the field," said Wine. "It's an important class, which should help fill our immediate needs. It's a talented group that should jump in and make an instant impact."
Texas Tech inks 10 for 2010-2011 Season
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech head baseball coach Dan Spencer announced the signing of 10 student-athletes earlier today that will comprise the 2010-11 class. The class includes six pitchers, two infielders, one outfielder and one catcher.
"We felt like last year's recruiting class was very solid but we really feel like we got a good group of high school arms and a mixture of junior college talent," said Texas Tech head coach Dan Spencer. "As far as position players are concerned this was the first year where we have been able to target certain areas and we did that by getting a couple of infielders and a young outfielder and catcher. Our main goal has been to establish continuity and I think this class will go a long way in that direction. I am very excited to get them on campus and have them wearing Red & Black."
St. Louis adds eight for 2010-2011
ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis head baseball coach Darin Hendrickson today announced the addition of eight players who will begin their eligibility in the 2010-11 academic year. They will first suit up for the Billikens during the 2011 season.
Included in the class are four current high school seniors in Missouri: Danny Brennan (St. Louis, Mo./Fort Zumwalt South), Derek Mazzio (St. Louis, Mo./CBC), Devin O'Rourke (Kansas City, Mo./Rockhurst) and Brett Vanover (Eureka, Mo./Eureka). In addition, four college transfers will join the team next season. They are Trey Burris (Troy, Ill./SWIC), Steve Jensen (Omaha, Neb./Butler CC), C.J. Rose (St. Louis, Mo./Jefferson College) and Zack Smith (St. Louis, Mo./Johnson County CC).

When we heard that Larry King, the legendary journalist and host of CNN's Larry King Live from 1985 to 2010, was writing the introduction for the second trade paperback of Image Comics' TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH, we were overcome with excitement. You see, not only is TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH a great book that our own Jimmy Gillespie called "a classic, dark comedy" and "a must read for anyone looking for one of the most off-beat comics ever," but Larry King just happens to be a close personal friend of ours! So we invited Larry to The Outhouse to tell us all about it!
The Outhouse: Larry, thanks so much. It's an honor.
Larry King: The honor is mine, Outsiders. You guys deserve the Eisner this year.
OH: It's actually... Wait, really? An Eisner?
LK: Sure! Why not?
OH: So. Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth.
LK: Great book.
OH: Right? How did you get involved in this?
LK: Listen, before we get to that, I want to talk to your readers about something.
OH: Sure, anything.
LK (turns to Outhouse readers): Outsiders, have you heard about Garlique?
OH: What?
LK: Garlique. As in Unique.
OH: Yeah, we know what it is. But--
LK (interrupting): Do you have problems with high cholesterol? Lots of people do, but not everyone knows about Garlique. It's an herbal supplement that promotes cardiovascular health and can even reduce cholesterol.
OH: Are you even allowed to say that? Is it FDA approved? Are there studies?
LK: Garlique is 100% natural, and odor-free.
OH: That doesn't answer the--
LK: Wouldn't you like to have all the health benefits of garlic, but without the strong taste and bad breath?
OH: Well, yeah, who wouldn't? But that's not--
LK: Look for Garlique in your local CVS Pharmacy. Bye now.
OH: Now hold on! I thought we were gonna talk about Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth!
LK: Oh, I'm sorry! We're out of time!
OH: What?!
LK: I've got to get over to The Bleeding Cool and talk with my good friend Rick Johnson about OmegaXL, an all natural anti-inflammatory joint pain supplement that's proven to--
OH: Oh, fuck it! Here's the press release:
Larry King writes introduction to comic book comedy sensation
Debuting in 2013, TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH introduced the world to a happy-go-lucky kid who remains cheerful in a world designed to crush his spirit. In the first volume of this dark humor hit by Eisner Award-nominated artist MK Perker (Air, The Unwritten) and writer Ken Kristensen (The Amazing Adventures of The Escapist, Indestructible), Todd took on an axe-murderer. In volume two, due out in May, Todd confronts something even darker: the unholy intersection of comic book conventions, public television, and paranormal investigation — a conspiracy that literally goes as deep as the dark abyss of Hell.
"The survival of PBS in American culture has always been difficult to explain," said writer Kristensen. "A television network with high artistic standards, educational programming, and a ratings juggernaut in Downton Abbey? Clearly they've made a deal with the devil — and Todd, the Ugliest Kid on Earth will unearth the ugly truth."
TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH VOLUME 2 features an introduction by news talk titan Larry King (yes, that Larry King!). It will be in comic book stores on May 7 and bookstores on May 20.
- 104 pages, full color, paperback
- $12.99
- In comic book stores May 7, in bookstores on May 20
- Previous volume TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH VOLUME 1 (ISBN 978-1-60706-777-1) available now.
Praise for TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH:
"Todd is a classic dark comedy and is a must read for anyone looking for one of the most off-beat comics ever."
– Jimmie Gillespie, The Outhousers
"A cautionary tale of the human spirit triumphing over a stacked deck of inborn adversity. I laughed and laughed hard at almost every other page. I don't mean those conciliatory titters we give writers when they try to make a joke, I mean outright belly-aching guffaws."
– Rob Patey, Ain't it Cool News
"M.K. Perker's art is simply outstanding. He blends caricatures with a highly detailed cartoon sensibility. The mixture of styles makes the absurdity and off-the-wall dark humor jump off the page. Perker can handle anything you throw at him and Kristensen can't throw enough. The fun these guys are having is palpable and they leave it all on the page. 5/5 stars "
– Russell, Johnson, Unleash the Fanboy
"Perker is one of the most consistently brilliant artists out there. He has a skill for pulling off dark and macabre things with a sense of whimsy. He perfectly balances the story's gags with the more detailed character work and dramatic moments. 4.5/5 stars"
– Cody Farrell, Comic Book Therapy

Not sure what you're referring to. Need some context.

And there they lay I damn me eyes

Since I can't vary much of what I eat, I always ask for some Nuggets, 12 :b, and a medium size potato chips.

Not really a big fan of MacD's to be honest, I just find it comparatively bland and uninteresting. If I'm in the mood for fast food, I'd prefer Burger King any day. That goes across the menu - burgers, fries, shakes ... BK > MacDs all the way!
5 piece large chicken select meal with sour cream and chive dip, with fries, a fanta and a plain double cheese burger. nomnom
Extra large Nuggets and fries with a drink. I don't eat it often (perhaps once every 2 years, and even that's pushing it) but when i do, i completely pig out.
I only go there for breakfast sometimes, when I get a Sausage & Biscuit.
My Cracked articles, writing blog, and Twitter.
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

I love the big mac menu! with a vanilla milkshake /drool
Depends on what I'm in the mood for, but it's usually either a McFeast or QP menu. With two extra cheeseburgers, Bearnaise/Mayo dip (once again, depending on mood, but normally I favor Bea+McFeast and Mayo+QP combos), large drink and fries. If I'm hungry I'll add another QP (regardless of menu), and if I crave something sweet on top of that a milkshake, or a sundae to dip my fries in, and coffee and pie to top it off. Or a chocolate muffin instead of the pie if I've got even more of a sweet tooth.
I don't go that often anymore, last time was in Globen (Stockholm) when me and some friends went to some SC2 nordic qualification thingy about two months ago.

Nuggets and Fries and the bombass frozen strawberry lemonade
Anyone else read the news article a few years back where someone left a hamburger from McDonalds out in the open air for 6 months and not even bacteria or insects would come for it? Yeah, that's because it's not really food. I think the same person also kept fries in a jar for 6 months, and after all that time they still had colour. Normal fries turn grey after only a week or a few weeks without proper cooling.
The last few times I ate at McDonalds (a few years back) I always kept getting a little sick. It doesn't surprise me thinking back on it.
If I'm out drinking and I really want to eat some fatty food, I'd rather go to some local take away shop. I'm not saying their products are 100% fresh, but it's lots better than the major fast food restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King and KFC.
Edited the title for you.
As for the question, I don't usually go there but once a year I get a really strong craving for a Big Mac so I'll go and get one. Never get all the way through it, which is sort of funny because back in the day I used to get two and I would eat all of both.
I go to mcdonalds like 1-2 times a year and I usually just buy milkshake and 1-3 of those small cheeseburgers which costs 1e each. I rarely eat fastfood.
Big Mac with only bacon and Big Mac sauce. No pickles, recon onions, tomato or lettuce. Large fries and large drink with that.
Me no likey vegetables.
I go to McDonalds every March and order the Shamrock Shake. Best 600 calories I ever eat.
Generally though if I do eat out, McDonalds is not the first choice. It isn't that I don't like their food. In fact their French Fries are #3 on my list of fries period (#1 Red Robin bottomless steak fries, #2 Wendy's). It is just that on those rare occasions I do eat out, I am generally not in the mood for a burger. I'll go to some place like Cafe Rio, or whatever. I can't remember the last time I specifically went to McDonalds for the purpose of eating a meal. Usually it was the kids that picked it.
But when I did go to McDonalds, I usually order the same thing... Quarter Pounder value meal (no cheese), medium fries, medium drink. Back in the 1980s I ordered what was called the "McDLT" where they had the bottom bun/patty on one side of the container, and the top bun/everything else on the other side. In the 1990s I ordered the "McLean Deluxe", which was supposedly a low-fat burger. Both of these went off the menu, so the closest I can get is the good old Quarter Pounder.

The Meetings provide a safe and friendly environment for trans people Whether TV/Tg/Ts or M2F or F2M to be themselves, meet like minded people, make new friends. For those wanting to get out of the closet its a great place to gain confidence and meet other people just like you.
Partners are also most welcome at the meetings
The Renaissance group that meet here has over 100 members with 24 to 34 Tgirls (and the occasional F2M) at most meetings. The membership is a great mix of ages and TVs & TSs. If you haven't been to a meeting, do come along and meet us, you can be sure of a warm welcome
Renaissance is taken from the French for Re-Birth: our group was formed to help trans people to come out and be themselves in a safe environment and find support in their journey. The group started over 15 years ago with only 6 people at the first meeting.
The first meeting was organised by Dee [Suzanne] Gallagher at a friends beauty salon in a small town north of Preston, handy for both Preston and the Fylde coast. From the first meeting Renaissance has always welcomed both Transsexuals (TSs) and Transvestites (TVs).
The owner of the salon gave the group its name – Renaissance.
Meetings are currently held in Blackpool at the The Gynway.
Myself and my partner Petra provide both the Venue and Refreshments for group meetings. The group does not have a committee and remains very informal. Its been a successful formula with Renaissance now established as one of the main Trans venues in the North West.
There is a small admission charge on meeting nights to cover costs of the food, tea / coffee and of course the venue.
The meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, starting round 6pm. Overnight accommodation is available, recommend early booking [stayovers can of course be extended as required]

Into this board we have crammed a complete emdebian armel root filesystem, built using multistrap from the standard emdebian package repositories. We also pull from our own package repositories for a bunch of Java (yes, THAT Java) applications and a Java 1.1 virtual machine and runtime. Runs under Xorg and uses a little bit of GTK and libswt. We're also using two 250kbps socketCAN channels, plus ethernet and USB. Finally, we use our own gpg keys and usbmount to have the platform automagically swallow verified system updates delivered as debs via USB. The client is Fortune 10. All of the above eats about 70% of the 60MB we have available for the jffs2 root filesystem. The rest we're saving for a rainy day. Emdebian is good stuff, obviously! One of these days I'll put together some presentations for Embedded Systems Conference, or something. Suggestions welcome. b.g. -- Bill Gatliff firstname.lastname@example.com

Some time ago I built a signal generator, which is a reasonably handy bit of equipment. But I was periodically frustrated with not having a suitable probe to easily inject a signal into a circuit. The standard BNC – BNC cable has its uses, but isn't too great for that kind of thing. And a dangling bit of wire causes nothing but troubles.
What I really wanted was an oscilloscope probe. Scope probes have a nice sharp tip on them, they have a ground lead with a clip, they even have a hooky tip for grabbing onto things. Scope probes are great. But some experiments proved that a scope probe makes a terrible signal generator cable, because scope probes contain resistor-divider circuits, trimmer capacitors, etc, which get in the way of the signal generator output.
So I decided to hack a scope probe, to build a signal generator cable / probe. From DealExtreme I ordered a cheap oscilloscope probe – their SKU 32422 for a big $6. About three weeks later it landed in my mailbox. I quickly found it can easily be taken apart. Like so:
The strain relief (on the left of the photo) can simply be pulled off. That holds the little square box covering the PCB in place – with the strain relief gone the cover now slides off as well. A minute of quality time with the soldering iron removes the resistors and trimmer capacitor on the PCB (done before I took these photos), then I soldered a wire across the middle of the PCB to connect the BNC connector back to the centre of the cable. Here's a close-up:
Then the PCB cover and strain relief were slipped back into place, and the X1/X10 switch on the probe handle was placed in the X1 position, then wrapped in tape to make sure it couldn't be accidently switched to X10. When the switch is in the X10 position a big resistor is switched in series with the tip – don't want that! Finally I stuck a label on the probe so I won't confuse it with the regular scope probes. Done!
This is awesome. For a few dollars and maybe 10 minutes work we get a nice signal generator probe complete with sharp tip, hooky tip, ground lead, etc. Can't beat that.

Is it justified to make someone speak the truth ?
Are the reasons behind someones silencing righteous ?
Do we bend someones Free will when we cast Truth spell upon them ?
All of the above can be answered with both yes and no. It is generally considered in occult that compelling someone to tell the truth is black, or at very least gray magick as it effects free will.
Blessings !
But let me ask You this, If a person is testifying falsely to make an innocent go to jail, is the Truth spell justified to use on this occasion ? If someone pretends to be Your friend, just so they can be close to You and harm You , and You suspect this and would like it checked ? If someone is badmouthing You and speaking lies about You , perhaps before You stab pins to beef tongue ( silencing spell ) , You can consider making them tell the truth , that they lied due to their envy and wish to harm You ?
Magick can not always be classified in black and white category , and often it is the Practitioner's intent that gives it a "color"
So If someone tells You how Truth magick is evil, don't You listen to their silly speeches born in blind conviction and narrowness of mind, but question Your intents and needs rather. Make sure they are valid.
Nevertheless, despite the ever continuing discussion on morality and ethics of such spells, they are very useful l and good to know. They are also a lacking category , which is largely underestimated in occult :/ and it should not be. Truth spells always lack, so I shall suggest few usefull tips about them here :
* Truth spells should be preformed on Days and in hours of Mercury , and perhaps on Days and in hours of Saturn if the Goal is to make a liar confess , to compel them to do so
* Symbols that can be used are bindrunes , then daggaz and laguz rune , AWEN Druidic symbol , shinjitsu symbol and personal sigls and such
Bible is used in Conjue traduition as a symbol of Truth :)
* Oils such as Truth oil , Essence of Bend over , Fiery Command oil are best choice for personal , target dressing and candles
* Herbs that are good for truth are Bluebell and Clairy Sage, among others , but these two are most powerful for this purpose . Compelling and Controling herbs make a great addition.

This is the homepage af the GQL Project - just another attempt to
create a generic SQL interface for Linux/UNIX platforms.
The CLI (call level interface) library GQL,
provides an abstraction of a SQL database, which means it
is a general API for all (or most)
possible SQL databases. It achieves this by using individual drivers
for different databases.
GQL is implemented in C++, so its native interface is C++ also. As
of version 0.3.0, there is an ucxx script interface, making
GQL is usable with all languages ucxx has bindings for.

I see the new tour details have been posted on her site and I am seriously considering taking part,
It's 40 years since I've been to the UK and this will be my last overseas trip so I might as well"go for broke'.My days of flying direct to London are in the far dim past so I would have a transit break in Singapore.Possibly extend the tour by 5-7 days in London .
Now to tell DH what I'm considering.I can point out to him that it will not be as hazardous as my last venture which was 2015 Northern China,Mongolia and Tibet!!!!

in : Gardeners' musings
Like Richard I too own a cat of which I am quite fond - she is what my daughter calls "middle sized" in other words tending towards the tubby. She is very good at sleeping and dismembering mice on my office floor.
Like Richard I too own a cat of which I am quite fond - she is what my daughter calls "middle sized" in other words tending towards the tubby. She is very good at sleeping and dismembering mice on my office floor.
In spite of all this feline bonhomie I am more often asked how to keep cats off gardens. The scenario is this: Neighbouring cats slouch through fence and leave interesting surprises just below soil level. The innocent gardener comes into close contact with said deposit and swears loudly. Cats regard gardener with a supercilious look as if they were Duchesses and you, the de facto owner of the garden, just the lowliest drip on the nose of a tramp.
So how to deal with it? Everybody seems to have a theory. Some say filled bottles of water lying around the place (not the most attractive option but very popular in Japan.)
Some swear by spikes that stick to the wall and are the cat equivalent of walking barefoot over sharp gravel.
Others claim that Lion Dung does the trick - which is all very well but if one owned a lion then I think that domestic cats would perhaps no longer be a problem. Lion dung is also extremely stinky. You could plant Coleus canina which occasionally works. The most extreme method that I have heard of (and one, I hasten to add, that I am not actively recommending) is an electric fence smeared with cat food.
My three favoured solutions are as follows:
1. Investing in a very high powered water pistol: this is both effective and satisfying provided that you happen to be in the right place at the right time with a loaded weapon.It does have the tacit approval of the church of England, as you can see here.
2. This was told to me by the legendary Reg Moule of BBC Radio Hereford and Worcester and is called the Cat Mine. Dig a hole in a newly prepared and tempting looking piece of ground. Into that hole place an inflated balloon which you then cover with a loose covering of soil. The offending cat comes along and performs and then begins the burying process. The claws of the cat then pierce the balloon which goes off with an almighty bang which scares the living daylights out of the offending feline.
3. Buy a dog.

As a keen gardener, my solution is never to leave any bare soil available - thus killing two birds with one stone: I have to plant all those impulse purchases and I'm deterring Fluffy from my borders as well. The water pistol solution is indeed effective when possible - I use this one on the grey squirrels that like to eat all the birdfood in the feeder - very satisfying!

The cats in my neighbourhood are brave and observant. They watch out for my labrador and come into the garden when she's indoors. Having a dog hasn't stopped the problem but it has reduced the frequency of surprises.
My sadistic side loves the idea of the Cat Mine!

We have 3 cats and a tiny courtyard - they look at the litter tray and then promptly go to the tiniest bit of earth we have and leave their "lovely" deposit! Fortunately, my other half does the "poo patrol" before I start planting! - Can someone also give advice on how to stop the cat eating the grasses I planted and then promptly throwing up!

Not sure of the correctness of this but I have been told by 'the old fellas' down the allottments, to pour urine (human) around freshly dug areas and seed beds. It deters the cats, any views ???

My lovely cat decided she liked the bean leaves and ate them throughout the summer without even throwing up. Strange cat.

Yoga Can't Be Called "Yoga" at a Catholic CollegePosted by PsiCop in Christianity, Fuzzy Thinking, General, Metaphysics, Religion
I've commented before on occasional Christianist hissy-fits and condemnations of yoga as a profane "pagan"/Hindu practice. As I've said on those occasions, it's true that what we now call "yoga" did originate as part of Hindu practice and ritual. However, it has changed through the millennia, and as it's practiced in the occidental world, has long since lost any connection to the Hindu religion. American yogis and yoginis are not worshiping Hindu gods in any of their exercises.
But that hasn't stopped Christians from getting their panties in knots over it nonetheless. The Kansas City Star, for example, reports that a Catholic college has renamed its yoga classes (WebCite cached article):
Yoga is designed to help bring peace and wellness to body and mind.
But at Benedictine College — a small and strongly Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kan. — yoga classes per se will soon be yo-gone, out of apparent concern that use of the word "yoga" suggests advocacy for Hindu mysticism.
College spokesman Stephen Johnson said that starting this fall, both recreational classes and for-credit exercise classes that once taught yoga will likely still be taught the same way, but instead will be rebranded as "lifestyle fitness."
"We're changing the name," Johnson said.
Note, they haven't stopped the yoga classes. They'll still be held. They just won't go by the name of "yoga" any more. Why the college dislikes the name "yoga" isn't entirely clear, or why yoga classes haven't been banned altogether, isn't clear based on the objections they've offered:
Complaints, Johnson said, began to come in from alumni, students, faculty and some administrators who argued that as a Hindu practice, yoga was not in keeping with Catholic-based education.
I note that mysticism and meditation — which yoga is a form of — is most assuredly very Christian. It's been part of the religion since its inception, especially within its monastic movements. So really, there shouldn't be much objection to it, even at a conservative Catholic college.

How to fly a S107 helicopter with the Kinect?
This is not a step by step tutorial. I will provide the Arduino code that gets the Helicopter flying, but the rest is up to you to be creative.
So let's get to the hard part first. Getting the Arduino to talk to the S107. The S107 speaks a specific language transmitted over a 38 kHz signal.
The signal structure that I used for the S107 is as follows:
(Note: Channel "A" uses Throttle Values 0 to 127. Channel "B" uses Throttle Values 128 to 255.)
With that, let's look at the code: Here is a nice formatted link to the Arduino File.
// Connect (+) of IR LED to 5Vcc
// connect (-) to pin 4 with a resistor in line. For best results make a transistor circuit with external power source
#define RED 4 // the output pin of the IR LED
void setup() {
pinMode(RED, OUTPUT); // set IR LED (Pin 4) to Output
void loop() {
//Do you magic here. The code directly below just throttles up to 40 and back down to 0.
//You can get data from the serial port, a joystick, or whatever. You just need to translate your input into values between 0 and 127.
//Pass those values to Transmit( ) as an integer between 0 and 127 for Channel "A"; or 128 to 255 for Channel "B" and that's it!
int t;
for (t = 0; t < 40; t++) {
Transmit(63, 63, t, 63); //Rudder = 63, elevator = 63, throttle = t, trim = 63
// Transmit(63, 63, ((40 - t) + 128), 63); //This would cause Channel "B" to throttle down
for (t = 40; t > 0; t--) {
Transmit(63, 63, t, 63);
// Transmit(63, 63, ((40 - t) + 128), 63); //This would cause Channel "B" to throttle up
} //End loop()
void Transmit(byte rudder, byte elevator, byte throttle, byte trim) {
static byte Code[4];
byte mask = 128; //bitmask
int i;
Code[0] = rudder; // 0 -> 127; 63 is the midpoint.
Code[1] = elevator; // 0 -> 127; 63 is the midpoint.
Code[2] = throttle; // 0 -> 127; 0 is throttle off
Code[3] = trim; // Haven't messed with this
OutPulse(2002); // Start 38Khz pulse for 2000us (2002us is evenly divided by 26)
delayMicroseconds(2000); // 2000us off.
for (i = 0; i<4; i++) { // Loops through the Code[i]
for (mask = 128; mask > 0; mask >>=1) { // See Arduino reference for bit masking (really cool stuff!)
OutPulse(312); // Sends 312 pulse each loop
if(Code[i] & mask) { //If both bit positions are 1 you get 1
delayMicroseconds(688); // send 1 (700 off)
else {
delayMicroseconds(288); // send 0 (300 off)
} //End mask loop
} //End i loop
OutPulse(312); //Send 300 microsecond Closing Pulse
} // End Transmit
void OutPulse(int Pulse) { //sends 38Khz pulses over the Pulse Length
int p;
for(p = 0; p < (Pulse / 26) - 1; p++) { //Takes about 26 microseconds per loop
digitalWrite(RED, HIGH);
digitalWrite(RED, LOW);
} //End OutPulse
As you can see, all you need to do is feed the void Transmit() with integer values between 0 and 127 (or 128 to 255 for Channel "B" ). Do this from the void loop().
You can actually alternate between the "A" and "B" channel without any problems (that I've encountered).
You may also see that there is no code in there for communicating with the Kinect. I wanted to give a clean version of the S107 code. The Kinect serial input requires more code in the void loop().
Reading from the serial is a lot of hassle. I will make an update soon to explain how to read from the serial port.
For the Kinect project, I used the Microsoft Kinect SDK software to determine the location of my hands relative to head and hips. This gave me a y-coordinate distance that could be scaled from 0 to 127.
The Kinect can also be used to measure distances relative to the sensor. Again, this data can easily be converted to scaled z-coordinate values between 0 and 127.
The fun part was determining the best use of x, y and z coordinates. You only have 2 hands, so controlling a 3 channel Heli takes some thinking.
Also fun is determining how to initialize the Heli (interlocks to avoid premature takeoff) and how to incorporate a kill switch.
I hope that this will help inspire some creativity to use the Kinect with the Arduino boards.
Check back for updates.

Napoli give teenage star Lorenzo Insigne his first Serie A start alongside Edinson Cavani in their visit to Palermo.
The Serie A season kicks off for the Partenopei in Sicily this evening at 19.45 UK time.
Goran Pandev, Andrea Dossena and Juan Camilo Zuniga all sit out bans earned during the contentious Italian Super Cup defeat to Juventus in Beijing.
This gives Italian Under-21 international Insigne his big chance to start with Cavani with Marek Hamsik in his new deeper role.
Palermo have new Coach Giuseppe Sannino in charge, but Jasmin Kurtic and Carlos Labrin are suspended with Lores Varela, Eran Zahavi and Andrea Mantovani injured.
New buy Paulo Dybala's international transfer has not yet arrived, so he'll have to wait for his Serie A debut.
Instead, captain Fabrizio Miccoli is partnered by Abel Hernandez, while Steven Von Bergen makes his first Palermo appearance in defence.
Palermo: Ujkani; Cetto, Von Bergen, Munoz; Pisano, Barreto, Donati, Brienza, Bertolo; Hernandez, Miccoli
Napoli: De Sanctis; Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Britos; Maggio, Behrami, Inler, Hamsik, Aronica; Insigne, Cavani

The SEC is spectacular. I've seen it for myself twice.
Thought I'd seen it all at Ole Miss a few years ago when Eli Manning was a senior, but Arkansas' gameday experience must rival anything in the league. Yes, I'm sure LSU, 'Bama and others would argue, but let's not split hairs. These places rock.
Today is beautiful and breezy, so they rolled back huge press-box windows at Razorback Stadium. They move sideways on tracks and into corner compartments. A large eve shades the work area, and this is about the sweetest 40-yard-line vantage point I can remember.
Back in the mid-80s, RS had just two sides in the old SWC days. Now it has quite a few bells and whistles and a closed-up end zone. Kansas State-Texas is on the stadum's massive replay board (with excellent picture and sound) right now.
It's too bad more North Texas fans won't be here today. A program in dire need of a new stadium needs its fans to see a place like this. Instead of complaining about not parking close enough to Fouts Field or paying extra for premium seating, they should get flat-out angry about what they don't have.

Days of Wine & Redwoods
October 31 – November 4, 2016
At Science Getaways, our mission is to offer wonderful and relaxing vacations while feeding your brain with added bonus science. We plan fantastic group vacations, hosted by Phil Plait and Marcella Setter, adding in extra tours, talks, and activities so that we all can learn more about the the unique area we're visiting. This makes your vacation more interesting, more memorable, and most importantly more fun!
If you like wine and giant trees and science, you're going to love this getaway. We're going to California wine country to learn about viniculture, oenology, dendrology, astronomy, and ecology!
Or, in layperson's terms, we're going to learn about winemaking and redwood forests, and look through some big telescopes.
This getaway will be a week of non-stop nerd fun. We'll tour wineries in Sonoma and Napa to learn about the art and science of winemaking from wine scientists — with plenty of time to sample the wares, of course. We'll walk through Armstrong Woods (one of our favorite places in the world) under the towering majesty of ancient redwood trees to learn how these amazing plants survive for so long. And our getaway will wrap up with a dinner and private observatory night at the Robert Ferguson Observatory in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. For some bonus indoor science, during the week Phil will give astronomy talks to our group.
We'll be staying at the Renaissance Lodge at Sonoma Resort & Spa. Our deeply discounted group rate will be $209 per night for a standard room, with a reduced resort fee of $5 per night. You may also upgrade to a cottage room for $284. This hotel is just a few blocks from the Sonoma Plaza, right in the heart of California's premier wineries. You should plan to arrive in Sonoma on Sunday, 30 October 2016 and depart on Friday, 4 November. Oakland and SFO are the closest airports, but Sacramento is also a good option.
We're going to start touring Sonoma Valley wineries on Monday, starting with Loxton Family Winery. The owner and winemaker just happens to be an Australian physicist, so we'll start off with a big bang! We'll end the day with a gourmet Halloween cave dinner at the Deerfield Ranch Winery in Kenwood, CA. At each winery we'll get a tour, not just a tasting, to learn about the sciencey details of growing and fermenting wine grapes. Tuesday will be a day in the redwoods, probably with a stop at a winery first. Wednesday is Napa Valley day with wineries and time to explore the town and have a fabulous meal at the world class restaurant of your choice in Napa. Our last day will conclude with, you guessed it – another winery, followed by a gourmet picnic dinner at the Ferguson Observatory. We'll have their 8-inch, 14-inch, and 40-inch telescopes all to ourselves for the evening! Weather permitting, we'll see a very thin crescent moon at twilight, then Mars, Uranus, Neptune, the Ring Nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula, some star clusters and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Registration – This trip is for adults only (age 21 and over) and the registration fee will be $1870 per person. This fee includes transportation for all field trips on an executive motorcoach with leather captain's seats, all wine tasting and tour fees, park and observatory admission, 3 lunches and 2 dinners. The registration fee does not include your travel to and from the hotel, your hotel stay, and other meals not listed previously.
If you would like to register or if you have any questions, please email us. Once you've emailed, we'll send you a link to let you pay the registration fee and book your hotel room. We hope to see you there!

Don't cut mail service yet
The U.S. Postal Service is hemorrhaging red ink, but rather than raise rates to close the gap, it is talking about cutting out delivery one day a week. The situation is bad, but reducing service should only be pursued as a last resort.
While the postmaster general didn't actually propose eliminating service yet, he did ask Congress Wednesday to change a law so he'd have the flexibility to do so. The law, part of an appropriation bill 26 years ago, requires delivery six days a week.
During the recession in 2001, a proposal to eliminate Saturday deliveries surfaced, was universally panned and quickly abandoned. That, of course, would have meant two consecutive days without mail — which would have been especially tough on people who rely on deliveries for medicine, money or even their daily newspaper.
Now, the postmaster general suggests the day that would be eliminated wouldn't be a Saturday, but some mid-week day — such as Tuesday — with relatively light volume. That's more tolerable, but only slightly.
The postal service lost $2.8 billion last year, 14 times greater than its loss in 2000, which prompted the proposal to end Saturday service. This year, the loss could exceed $6 billion; after the big drop in fuel prices since late summer, that would be especially painful. While more and more postal customers continue to switch to the Internet for communications and bill-paying, the recession has clearly affected business as well. It won't last forever, and the postal service's losses should ease when it does.
So a disruptive action like cutting service doesn't seem to be in order yet. In the meantime, a rate increase of a penny or two might help balance the books until the fog lifts.
Longer-term, the postal service seems a good candidate for review by one of the Obama administration's new efficiency experts. Its business model seems inherently at odds with the times, so shrinking the business may be the only way for it to survive.

"I've tried to implement this but…I have come against the hard wall of opposition to change."
Ever feel that way when you are trying to make much-needed changes?
This is very normal. When you try to make a change of any kind, you are going to meet resistance. In fact, you will have a small percentage of people who are early adapters – they jump right on board.
Then you have a few who are never-adapters – it doesn't matter what you do, they will only change what and when they want.
The people who give us the most stress are the middle and late adapters. How can you implement change so that push back is minimum, and everyone is on board?
Let's start by discussing changes you make changes your own life – we can learn how to help late and middle adapters from these familiar patterns.
You decide to eat healthier, exercise, and basically get your body in shape. Your "early adapters" jump on board. You get that laser focus, and get to the gym three days in a row. You make sure your diet is just right, and you even start sucking down the water.
Then about day three, your late adapters kick in. As you roll over and turn off your alarm clock, you can hear them.
"You mean this wasn't a trial run?
I don't like getting up early.
I miss sleep.
I miss sugar. Yes. Must. Have. Sugar."
This is where you have a choice. How do you fix your wanter (late adapter) so that you can keep your personal focus on healthy living – for yourself, personally, and for your congregation?
1. Give a little. Understand that change is a process. When your late adapters throw up their arms, don't focus on their dissension. Instead, focus on the goal, and discover new ways to get your people to it. Your goal is a healthy body, but if you force everyone to fit the new mold, you will have mutiny (also known as sickness, when we are talking about the body you are trying to get out of bed.) Allow for gradual adaptions. In your church, you don't have to change the whole service. Perhaps at first, you just need to change the focus of your sermons from doing what is right to relying on Jesus for insight and strength.
2. Create baby steps. People usually throw up resistance when you are moving too fast. Go back and identify the baby steps toward change. On your personal health regiment, this might look like avoiding one snack a day for the first week, only walking 1 mile on the days you really don't want to move, etc. For those pillared saints, it might mean teaching them how to make friends outside their immediate friend group (but still inside the church) before you have them invite neighbors who don't know Jesus to a barbecue.
3. Set up rewards. You know what this feels like – the first time you see those scales come up five pounds less? What if you had a church event and 20 people showed up who were casual visitors, or nonattenders? How could you celebrate what is going right? Your late adapters are resisting change, but they still want to see good results. Set up rewards that will celebrate how things are going right.
4. Provide days off. If you never eat sweets, there will come a day when you dive off the deep end into a vat of chocolate. (Okay, maybe that was dramatic.) In the same vein, your late adapters and even middle adapters need an opportunity to feel familiar rhythms. Look at the traditions you have had – what did they provide socially and spiritually? Create events that will work in a similar way. Just because you moved hymns off of Sunday morning doesn't mean they shouldn't be sung – make sure you have times when your hymn lovers can
rockout to, swing to, bebop to enjoy the Rock of Ages.
The bottom line is that change doesn't happen quickly. It is created one habit at a time, and becomes permanent your new habits out number the old.
What do late adapters (or early resisters) look like in your church?
How have you creatively helped them enjoy new activities?

How can I speak fluent English? This is one of the many questions asked by people who are attempting to conquer English as a secondary language. Here are a few tips on how you can improve your English speaking skills:
Practice is the key to fluency; practice where you can, when you can. Any practice is good, whether the person you are speaking to is native or not. It is important to build your confidence; don't be shy. Start with simple sentences, and speak with the English that you already know. Use words and phrases that you know in new situations. Native English speaker are more likely to correct you is you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar. This way of experimenting is helpful with vocabulary and is a great way to get proper feedback. Try to respond to what people say to you in English, even if the person speaking to you is speaking a different language.
Make sure your responses are as natural as possible. Often time's people will try to translate from their own language, and this takes lots of time not to mention it makes their speech more hesitant. If you forget a word, don't freak out, it happens all the time. Do what native English speakers do and say things that "fill" the conversation (uh, um). This is better than keeping completely silent, and at least the person will know that you are thinking about what you want to say. You can even just be honest and say, "I forgot the word" the person you are speaking to may be able to help you complete your thought.
Don't speak too fast. When speaking fluent English having a natural rhythm is very important. If you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you. Try to relax. When you speak at a normal speed you will discover that many pronunciation skills, such as linking between words will happen automatically.
Remember to speak fluent English you should:
- More practice brings more confidence.
- Be as natural as possible, relax.
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
- Don't speak too fast.

Spartans' run away with win over Amsterdam
Racially derogatory chant briefly delays game in fourth quarter
Published 11:02 pm, Saturday, October 12, 2013
Burnt Hills
From its opening play from scrimmage, a 48-yard run by Josh Quesada, it was clear that Saturday was going be a good day for Burnt Hills.
Quesada rushed for 156 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, and backfield-mate Dan Maynard ran for 155 yards and two scores to lead the Spartans to a 49-0 win over Amsterdam in a Class A Northwest Division matchup.
The Spartans (5-1, 3-1) rushed for 471 yards and scored touchdowns on their first four possessions to take a 28-0 halftime lead.
"We wanted to establish the running game, because it's a run-oriented offense," Burnt Hills coach Matt Shell said. "Credit our up-front kids. We had a good week of practice, and they did a heck of a job up front."
Led by the blocking of Jeff Tope, Joseph Messare, Jake Ashcraft, Nico Fragale and Roswell Warren, Burnt Hills took a 7-0 lead on its first drive when Quesada caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from John Clayton. The Spartans increased their lead to 14-0 when Maynard scored from 1 yard out on the first play of the second period.
"The blocking was tremendous; they got a good push from the snap to the whistle," Quesada said. "It gave our running backs some holes to run through. It gets pretty easy when your line blocks that good."
Quesada added scoring runs of 5 and 7 yards in the second quarter as Amsterdam (3-3, 1-2) was unable to stop the Spartan rushing attack while being limited to just 142 yards of total offense.
"They beat us in three phases of the game, special teams, offense and defense," Amsterdam coach Doug Edick said. "That's a very good Burnt Hills team."
With the score 42-0, the game was briefly delayed early in the fourth quarter after a racial slur was chanted repeatedly from the Burnt Hills student section.
Shell left the Spartans sideline and addressed the crowd over the public-address system, threatening to end the game if there were any further incidents.
"The thing in the stands was kids and not the adults," Shell said. "Kids are kids, and they get emotional. You see it on the football field; it's an emotional game. The Amsterdam kids, we've played them for years, and they're good kids. That stuff, there's no place for it in the game, whether it's coming from the stands or whether it's coming from the field."
Joe Butler's 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter concluded the scoring.

Dan DeKeyser talks about his first NHL weekend
By Michael Caples –
DETROIT – It wasn't the home debut Dan DeKeyser was hoping for.
Just two days after his professional hockey debut, the new Red Wings defenseman played his first game as a member of the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena Sunday afternoon, only for his team to lose 1-0.
DeKeyser sounded like a veteran defenseman after a loss as much as a lifelong Red Wings fan living out his childhood dream.
"It was definitely fun," the Clay Township native said, "I wish we could have gotten a win here tonight, but that's how it goes sometimes."
DeKeyser skated for 15:32 in his home debut, recording two shots on goal and a -1 rating. He was on the ice for the lone goal of the contest, when Chris Porter managed to get his stick on a loose puck during a scramble in front of the Red Wings' goal.
Yet despite the one goal against, DeKeyser has impressed his first two outings with the Red Wings.
"Oh I like him," coach Mike Babcock said. "To me when you can skate like that, he made a few errant passes but I think they're more out of nerves than anything else. He can spin it and go to the back end and pass it up the middle. I know where good players like 'De' who can go get the puck and get it going versus play de zone coverage so I like watching him."
DeKeyser said that he has certainly noticed the increase in skill level from the college game to the pros.
"It's a little bit different, so I'm just trying to do the best I can to adjust to the pro level here," the former Western Michigan Bronco said. "You know, it's harder, that's for sure, and that's just something I'll have to get used to."
The Michigan native skated for 16:36 in his NHL debut Friday night, recording three takeaways in the Red Wings' 3-2 overtime victory.
"It's a quicker game so it's important to move your feet out there and get some speed going," DeKeyser said. "You can't get caught flat-footed. If you're flat-footed, you're beat. I just try to keep moving, have tight gaps in the neutral zone, and get back to pucks as best I can. That's my game, that's what I try to do."
He's also been seeing time on the penalty kill – 1:41 worth of PK time today, after 1:04 on Friday. The fact that Babcock has put him in those situations isn't lost on the rookie defenseman.
"Yeah, it feels pretty good," DeKeyser said. "He's putting faith in me, so I've got to come through in the clutch there when it matters. That's all I can do."
The Compuware alum also knows that his play will improve simply with more NHL experience.
I think the more I get out there, the more comfortable I get, so, I'm just going to take it one game at a time, and just try to get as comfortable as I can out there.

The owner of Erotic World had appealed against the city council's decision to stop him opening on Sundays – on the grounds that shops in the railway station were exempt from Bavaria's strict Sunday trading laws.
But this only applies if they sell products that can be considered souvenirs or travel supplies such as food, disposable cameras, newspapers, magazines, books, DVDs, and CDs.
The shop argued in court that it also had such goods on its shelves, even if their content was rather more spicy than what the station's newsagents had to offer.
"This is the decision of the court … since the above articles can be considered 'travel supplies,' regardless of their content," a court statement issued Wednesday said.
But the judges added that the shop could not sell other erotic items in its range, such as sex toys. In fact, especially sex toys.
Three administrative judges visited Erotic World ahead of the court hearing to inspect the shop's goods, carefully assessing whether each item might come in handy on a long journey.
Condoms were considered useful enough, but the judges ruled that the old favourite sex game "Erotic Ludo" should still be taboo on the day God has designated the day of rest.
The city authorities also had a legal quibble relating to the shop's location, since it is actually on private property. But the court dismissed this on the grounds that the shop's back entrance was in the railway station.

Karelian Isthmus: Geography & Climate
The isthmus shows evidence of the ancient Weichsel glaciation: its long, winding morainic hills, which reach an elevation of about 205m (670 ft) in the south, are separated by countless lake-filled hollows (there are about 700 lakes on the isthmus) and swamps.
Karelian Landscape
Karelian Lake
The isthmus is mostly covered by coniferous forests formed by Scots pine and Norway spruce, with numerous small grass low moors and Sphagnum peat bogs. Forests cover more than three-fourths of its total area.
Karelian Forest
Swampy areas occupy on average 5.5% of the territory. In the large contiguous area along the shore of Lake Ladoga , in the southeastern part of the isthmus, bogs occur much more frequently than in other parts. The soil is predominantly podsol, which contains massive boulders, especially in the north and northwest, where large granite rocks occur.
Vuoksi (Vuoksa), the largest river, runs southeastwards from Lake Saimaa of Finland to Lake Ladoga, dividing the isthmus into two uneven parts. A western branch, which is now overgrown, was an alternative route for the Karelians to reach the Gulf of Finland when the River Neva was blocked by enemies. The Saimaa Canal bypasses the Vuoksi following this old outflow and enters the Gulf of Finland near the medieval city of Vyborg.
The entire run of the river is 162 kilometers (100 miles) via the Priozersk branch or 150km (94 miles) via the Taipale branch. For most of its length, the river broadens out to a series of lakes bound together by shorter river-like connections. One of these lakes, Suurselkä, close to Priozersk, was renamed to Lake Vuoksa.
Lake Ladoga is the largest fresh water lake in Europe and it has been very involved in the history of the nation. 17 700 square kilometers in size, this impressive lake has approximately 660 islands. Most of these islands are situated on the northwestern coast. The well known historical Valaam islands are among them.

On the Beach
The climate of the isthmus is moderately continental, with 650-800mm (25-32 inches) average precipitation per year, long snowy winters lasting from November through mid-April and occasionally reaching about -40°C (-40 F), moderately cool summers and short frost-free period. Compared to other parts of the Leningrad Oblast, the winter here is usually milder due to the moderating influence of the Gulf of Finland, but longer.

Ann just got these titles in the mail from Twelfth Planet Press, the first in their new Twelve Planets series. All three are story collections.
Nightsiders by Sue Isle (intro by Marianne de Pierres) – "A teenage girl stolen from her family as a child; a troupe of street actors who affect their new culture with memories of the old; a boy born into the wrong body; and a teacher who is pushed into the role of guide tell the story of The Nightside."
Love and Romanpunk by Tansy Rayner Roberts (intro by Helen Merrick) – "The world is in greater danger than you ever suspected. Women named Julia are stronger than they appear. Don't let your little brother make out with silver-eyed blondes. Immortal heroes really don't fancy teenage girls. When love dies, there's still opera. Family is everything. Monsters are everywhere. Yes, you do have to wear the damned toga."
Thief of Lives by Lucy Sussex (intro by Karen Joy Fowler) – "Why are certain subjects difficult to talk about? What is justice? Why does it matter? Why do writers think that other people's lives are fair game? And what do we really know about the first chemist? Welcome to the worlds of Lucy Sussex."
In my opinion, Twelfth Planet Press is one of the best indies in the world, and this new series is compact, sharply designed, well-thought-out, and featuring a good mix of established and newer writers. I just love it thus far—and Ann's contributed an introduction to the next book in the series, a forthcoming title by Deborah Biancotti.
You can order these books at the Twelfth Planet Press website. But why not go one better—you can also subscribe to the series there.
Alisa Krasnostein is the mastermind behind Twelfth Planet Press, and she's up for a World Fantasy Award this year. She fully deserves to win.

Woman, teen shot to death in Roslindale
Residents lament surge of violence
In a section of Roslindale that has been scarred by a series of shootings this summer, a Washington Street three-decker became the site of an early-morning shooting that left a woman and a teenager dead and a man injured.
As neighbors gathered across the street in the pouring rain yesterday afternoon, police combed through the second floor of the tan three-decker at 3964 Washington St., near the Forest Hills MBTA station. Police did not identify the 43-year-old woman and the 17-year-old boy who died. A 34-year-old man sustained injuries that police said were not life threatening.
Boston Police spokesman Eddy Chrispin would not comment on the relationships between the victims, but several neighbors said a mother and son had been killed. Chrispin said no further details were available on the investigation.
Friends of a teenager who lives in the apartment with his mother said they were at a loss as to why the home would have been the site of such violence.
Jose Rodriguez, 16, said he was a close friend of the teen. He said his friend knew the streets were dangerous, and "he'd never leave the house.''
Rodriguez spent almost an hour planted across the street from the apartment building yesterday afternoon, letting the heavy rain soak him as he watched police seal the building off with yellow crime scene tape. He said his friend avoided running with a rough crowd because he was afraid of this kind of violence.
He described the woman who lived there as being "like my second mother,'' Rodriguez said, a "playful, happy'' woman who loved to have guests. Rodriguez said he did not think she had a job.
The teenager's father did not live with them, he said.
The triple shooting comes amid a rise in violence in the once quiet neighborhood of Roslindale and scattered trouble around Boston over the weekend.
A man in his 30s was fatally shot Saturday morning in the South End. Later that day, police broke up a series of fights and other disturbances during a concert by Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller on City Hall Plaza. Reports of gunshots during the same concert sent dozens of people fleeing down Winter Street, but investigators found no evidence shots were fired, Chrispin said yesterday.
Since the beginning of June, seven people have been shot - three fatally - on and around the stretch of Washington Street that runs through Roslindale, including yesterday's victims. On June 5, two 23-year-old men were shot near the Archdale public housing development; one died on the scene. And on Thursday night, two brothers were injured in a shooting near the intersection of Washington Street and Durnell Avenue.
Yesterday, residents walking past the crime scene lamented the violence that has marred what they said is usually a quiet neighborhood.
"It's getting out of control,'' said Sheila Martin, 43, calling for more police patrols around the area. "A lot of people are starting to get killed.''
Two neighbors who live across the street from the house said some of its residents had been hosting a loud party Saturday night, though they did not know which apartment the party was in.
Megan Leblanc, 31, said she saw emergency responders wheeling the victims out of the house on stretchers. She speculated that the shooter knew the victims.
"Who you associate with matters,'' she said. "If it was a drive-by shooting, it'd be a different story, but I don't feel any more scared.''
With the two slayings yesterday, the city has seen 34 homicides since January, Chrispin said, compared with 36 at this time last year.
Dot Joyce, spokeswoman for Mayor Thomas M. Menino, said yesterday that the mayor's office will "continue to use every resource available'' to combat violence.
"We have to remain vigilant,'' she said.
Police responded to the house in Roslindale around 3:45 a.m. yesterday, and found the three victims inside the building suffering from gunshot wounds.
The woman and the teenager were pronounced dead at the hospital, Chrispin said. He could not identify which hospitals had treated the victims.
Several homicide detectives and other officers were at the victims' apartment building yesterday afternoon. Officers could be seen moving around the porch of the second floor.
"I don't understand,'' said Caroline Surillo, 14, who lives in an apartment complex around the corner.
Miriam Valverde contributed to this report. Vivian Yee can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

i am learning to accept the "just-right" things.
Perhaps it is the dreamer in me. Or perhaps I have finally learned to accept the places I am. Whatever the case, I have reached the point of just-right. Case in point:
On Sunday, I attend a gathering of my girlfriend's family in celebration of some November birthdays. It came after my two-hour trapeze class, during which we did a significant amount of spinning, swinging, and arm work. Exhaustion took the best of me and I mostly stayed on the sofa, curled up with Women Who Run With the Wolves and my pen/highlighter. My favorite pen/highlighter. Somehow, between the reading and the marking in the book and the talking and laughter with family, I lost my favorite pen. But I hadn't moved away from the sofa.
We all looked for the pen, which had last been seen in my ponytail. No luck. It was as though it had vanished. And I, in my frustration, simply put the book away, uninterested in continuing the process without this one special pen.
It wasn't until later that evening when I really thought about it. This pen, it's nothing fancy. I could buy one at any office store. And yet, I felt so certain that the process, the journey through Women Who Run With the Wolves, would not be the same without it. And then I realized it.
For years I have sought the "perfect" things: the perfect pen, the perfect relationship, the perfect handbag, the perfect clothes, the perfect job, the perfect home. The perfect solution to anything and everything. It must be out there, the perfect _____________, right? But as I have grown and sunk into my own depths this past year, I am quickly learning that "perfect" isn't what it's cracked up to be. And "just-right" is much more delightful.
What is just-right for you?
Just as Goldilocks went running through the home of the Three Bears, so I have been testing and trying on and shifting my world. One might be too hot, another too soft, and third too big. It never occurred to Goldilocks that she should settle for the first thing she sees or finds. And so, too, am I learning that settling for the first option might not be the best option. It is valuable to explore, to try on, to learn what feels good and what feels wrong.
I realized that the pen I had been using wasn't so much the "perfect" pen as it was the "just-right" pen. Being a writer, and doing almost all of my first drafts by longhand in my journal/notebook, I've likely used hundreds, maybe thousands of pens. I find a pen I think is perfect, and then after a few days or weeks realize it doesn't actually fit me, no matter how delicious or incredible the writing might be. I was always thinking about the pen, rather than using it. But this pen, I didn't hesitate to use. It was light and smooth. It was the pen I shirked for years, thinking I would never use a ball-point pen that wasn't a Pentel RSVP (my pen of choice throughout college). And yet, this tiny steel Zebra with the fine tip was exactly what I wanted when I sat down to write Monday morning -- the exact pen I no longer had. This is when I knew it was "just-right" for me.
This no-longer-seeking-perfect is new for me. It will take some adjusting, some remembering. But this shift in perspective feels whole for me. It feels deep and rich and filled with possibility. Like Goldilocks, I'm going to venture in the bear's home of my life and try things out for size before choosing. Because when something is too big/too small, too hot/too cold, too hard/too soft, it will never be the thing that feeds your soul.

BIOS assigns MMIO BARs regardlessof whether we have your patch.I'm still having trouble reconciling the stated purpose, i.e., thechangelog, with the behavior. The changelog implies that the patchis required to make >16 devices with I/O BARs work at all, but perMike Habeck, the patch just gets rid of some warnings and maybe helpswith hot-add of devices using I/O space.Is there a deeper problem that happens if we exhaust I/O space?Are we releasing device resources in pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources()and then we fail to reassign even MMIO resources after we exhaustI/O space?Maybe a complete dmesg log showing the failure would be helpful. ifso, you could open a kernel.org bugzilla and reference it in yourchangelog so we can take this issue into account in future PCI work.Bjorn

Something about April 1st just makes me happy…
I guess I just love a good April Fools Day! Ok, maybe I don't love when I am the victim of said fooling, but I sure do love doing the fooling and watching others do it! Today I was lucky. Nobody pulled ANY pranks on me. My co-worker and I however did do a funny one to another co-worker. And she won't know about it until Monday! We took several items from her desk (i.e. lamp, calculator, stuffed animal, business cards, lotion) and took polaroid pics (via iPhone app) of the items, printed them out, marked each with a letter (part of the "code" for her to decipher and find her things), laminated them, and put them on her desk in the exact place where the item was. She will be so confused when she comes in Monday! Ha! Maybe that is silly and stupid and immature, but we had so much fun doing it. There's nothing like planning a good prank on a Friday afternoon.
Another much more impressive prank I pulled today involved my boss. I walked into the office, shut the door behind me, and told him I needed to talk to him. He immediately looked concerned. I handed him a letter and told him that I hated to do this, but I had to get it over with before the weekend. He proceeded to tell me I better not be quitting and that I was giving him a heart attack. Here's what the letter said…
Dear ——–,
I just want to start by saying that it has been a pleasure working here. I wouldn't trade my experience at —- for anything. I really appreciate everything you have done for me and the opportunities I have been given. But, I have bigger plans in my future. And, I have some big news to share. I'm pregnant. And I plan to keep working here.
Respectfully yours,
If you are confused in any way by this, let me explain. YES, I am pregnant. Almost 11 weeks. I apologize if you are one of my friends reading this who I haven't personally told yet. It's always hard keeping a pregnancy a secret and I hate doing it, but I also have the typical early pregnancy paranoia. More on my pregnancy thus far to come.
Anyway, my boss man read the first couple of sentences and dropped the letter and started panicking, thinking that I was really leaving. I told him to read the rest and he finally calmed down and said congrats and that I totally ruined his day. Not because of the pregnancy, just because of the scare! It was classic and soooooo funny! I then emailed the letter out to all of my co-workers who got a kick out of it and congratulated me on the big news. So, today was a very good day! Now I can let the belly hang out! (yes, I already need new pants)
Now to finish this post with some evening bath time pics!
