Reviews for this host's other properties
This was a very Nice Apartment and very clean..the peoples in the Office was Nice and give us Good Tipps..we Come back..thank u for all
Very friendly hosts, very helpful that the niece speaks excellent German. Clean, nice Quariter, quiet - despite of busy location. Area around somewhat dilapidated but not far to walk to Istiklal Caddesi.
Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, sehr hilfreich daß die Nichte ausgezeichnet Deutsch spricht. Sauberes, nettes Quariter, ruhig - trotz verkehrsreicher Lage . Gegend rundherum etwas baufällig aber nicht weit zu Fuß zur Istiklal Caddesi.
We chose this apartment based on others' reviews and the promotion made by the owner, Erdal. Well, we were a bit dissapointed. Sorry Erdal, but we felt that it was overrated, maybe we have high expectations! This area definately not suitable for those travelling with children or to those who wanted a decent place to roam. I would rather promote the Sultanahmet area, where you wont spent unnecessary time for travelling. The traffic in Istanbul is heavy! Another thing, in the manual it stated that if we were to checkout early or late at night, you just need to leave your key in your apartment..well, we did!! And guess what..we were stranded in between 2 locked doors.. the front door and the door to our apartment. We were lucky that someone from Malaysia, willing to open their door when we knocked at night, we dont have a choice. We check out early to stay in Sultanahmet, even after we had paid the full rent.
Pros: the staff was friendly, especially Erdal's niece (kept our luggage on our last day while we wandered around), enough space for two people to sleep in, they provided us with welcome food gifts, security alarm, working stove/fridge
Cons: Shower was directly above the toilet. Spider webs. Walking to the actual door of the apartment was filthy and no lighting. Was also surprised that when I used the toilet there was trimmed BODY hair in the basin. I am not kidding -- so it looks like they did not clean out the room before my friend and I used it.
It is worth paying a little extra for their other rooms -- like the Red Butterfly Room.
We booked this appartment on the internet - based on the pictures (fewer than now) and the location. The team was very accommodating and kind.
Pro's: Low price, clean accommodations, nicely furnished kitchen, location center of town
Contra's: basement flat - windows barred, no chance of escape in case of fire. Damp due to basement and no heating/ventilation in bathroom. Bed not big - 120 cm. bedroom windows into air-shaft (5 store house), all bathroom and WC tubes going into shaft= noisy flushing all night. Small bedroom window (over bed) into staircase= noise all night and light blinking from alarm.
According to PowerPoint send to us by owner the bus from Atatürk stops just 200 m from app. This is not so for the next long term since the road is being renovated - together with most of the area. So count on ½ hour walk on very bad pavement from Taksim.
Everything Erdal promises in her advertisement she delivers.
I highly recommend her apartments, the apartment is in a good and safe location, and you would not find cleaner apartments any where in the world,, with all the equipment you require for your stay, plus internet too. Nothing is too much trouble for Erdal and her team to ensure your stay is a happy and enjoyable one. I would like to thank them all, and I would not hesitate to stay there again, and recommend if you plan a stay in Istanbul this is where you stay.
Erdal and her team were just fantastic. They responded to any issue with speed and efficiency. My previous stay in Istanbul was at a five star hotel and i would say that i was more comfortable at the apartment compared to the hotel. The apartment is as the picture so you get a full picture before you book. I save a lot of of money on food and accommodation cost. The main shopping area is at the end of the road so i did not miss out on everything. I could leave like the local and see another side of Istanbul that could not be experienced if i stay in an hotel. The apartment were very clean, secured and comfortable also. With the positive experience i had from now on i will stay in an the apartments rather than an hotel.
the apartment is nice, clean and well equipped, it is located near transportation (taxi, tram, bus ...) and a very lively avenue for both outputs for businesses that host team is available to listen and respond quickly if needed
l'appartement est sympa, propre et bien équipé
Il est situé pres des transports ( taxi,tram,bus... ) et d'une avenue tres animée tant pour les sorties que pour les commerces
l'équipe d'accueil est disponible, à l'écoute et répond rapidement si besoin
The apartment is great. It is quiet, it is big enough, it is clean, it is in the middle of Istanbul, it has fair prices; in it you have everything you need and the host is very welcoming. I'd recommend this flat to anyone who visits Istanbul.
Apartment very well located, 5 min. the central part of Istilklá 7 min Galata Tower and 10 tram. Clean, comfortable, although the building is old and the stairs just maintained, the apartment is renovated. The only drawback in winter is that the bathroom has no heating, ordered a small electric heater for the bathroom but did not have. Both the owner and the clerk very friendly. Only speak Turkish and used English, but we understood each other very well.
Apartamento muy bien ubicado, a 5 min. la parte central de Istilklá 7 min de la torre de Gálata y 10 del tranvía.
Limpio, cómodo, aunque el edificio es viejo y las escaleras poco cuidadas, el apartamento está renovado.
El único inconveniente en invierno es que el baño no tiene calefacción, pedimos una pequeña estufa eléctrica para el baño pero no tenían.
Tanto la propietaria como la empleada muy amables. Sólo hablan turco y la empleada inglés, pero nos entendimos muy bien.

Through my own healing path, I have worked through my truth in many different ways and one of them was to distinguish between the truth of who I am and the truth of what happened to me as a child. For a very long time I was not aware of a distinction. I thought I WAS what happened to me and I believed the voices in my head were true.
After becoming aware of and experiencing my true self and my own voice of truth in very real authentic ways, I have come to understand that there are layers of truth.
There is the absolute truth
The truth beyond our own comprehension, the truth that answers why we are ultimately here, why there is suffering in the world etc. We may find out only in our death, our moment of enlightenment or never. I don't have the answer to this, since it is also an absolute truth…will we ever know? I do not fight this battle even though my humanity so wants to know the answers to these BIG questions, I've realized that I have to surrender to some things in order to have peace.
There is the truth of our reality
These are the facts of our existence: our father was generous and loving, our brother died, our mother was a secretary, our son is a drug addict, my grandfather molested me, I feel pretty crappy today, I am in love. This is the truth of what happened and what is happening. Many say the only truth there is, is in this moment. While my enlightened self absolutely agrees and is a complete fan of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, I am also aware that we carry a pain body as Tolle puts it which carries all the truth we have ever known and experienced and that is very hard to extricate ourselves from it and totally live in the moment. That is the goal and yet even as we walk down a dark street, we may be reminded, triggered, struck by the truth of something that occurred long ago. I believe in honoring that reality without getting swept away in the past so often that we never ever really live in the now.
Then there is the truth of the true self
This is the part of us that is all knowing, wise, whole, kind, loving, all that is good lives and shines brightly through this part of ourselves, which some of us really live through. We all have our moments where our true self shines through, some more frequently than others. Those who are enlightened live from this space all or most of the time (the Dali Lama, Byron Katie, Mother Teresa, come to mind etc.) It is my personal goal to live from this self as often as I can and there are days where my pain body is so strong that I cannot even feel my true self. And there are days where I am completely embodying my true self and I feel right and good, and pure and I can feel that knowing that is all is right with the world. It really is.
So for me one of the ways to heal is to move through the truth of our reality to the truth of the true self
I believe in transforming our pain into power. Moving through the truth of our pain, to the truth of our power. Moving from the truth of our wounding, to the truth of our wholeness. It is the basis for much of the work that I do. I help people come back to the truth of who they are. And it means we must go through the dark alley sometimes and so the work I do with people is meant to transmute the darkness into light and sometimes it take a while, with lots of steps forward and backward…because many of us are so used to the dark, so familiar with it..we don't want to let it go. We are afraid. We are afraid to feel those old feelings, to go into that which broke our hearts and spirits.
The truth is healing can be messy and scary and hard. But it is also empowering, expansive and eye opening/heart opening/soul opening. When we get a glimpse of our true self and begin to live from it, there is no turning back…it gets harder to live from the old familiar body of pain.
And you wouldn't believe how many of us are walking around not knowing the truth of who we are and still carrying our body of pain like luggage, dragging it around with us into our relationships and into everything we do.
Healing work allows you to lighten that load. I'm not sure if we can ever get to every piece of pain in that luggage, but finding relief and healing layer by layer is important and I believe necessary if we want to live happier, healthier and more abundant lives (that means abundant in love, money, health, all of it). A willingness and the courage to go through our layers of truth to live consciously and to heal our pain is often the first step and goes a really long way.

Condemns the burning of African-American churches. Sends condolences to affected individuals. Supports the activities of local law enforcement officials, the Department of Justice, and the Department of the Treasury in investigating these incidents.

The boat weighs in at 1,800 kgs dry which the engine handles easily.
'The TDI gives you plenty of pick up, you certainly don't need any more power. The TDI suits these boats. I think they handle better than with an outboard.'
In testing with a moderate load of 350 kilos, the TDI pushed the boat to 45 mph (72 k/hr) and needed just five seconds to get onto the plane at 20 mph (32 k/hr).
It's the CMD TDI's amazing fuel consumption, however, which sets up the combination as a fantastic new option for blue water fishers.
'The TDI's fuel efficiency puts it into another class,' said Peter.
'At 25 mph (40 k/hr) it's only using 20 litres of fuel an hour. That's very low, making it perfect for game fishing when you want to spend 12 hours on the water.'
In short, Peter's very happy the CMD TDI power and efficiency is giving him a new option to offer his clients. 'It's a honey of an engine.'

Now I have a need for that again. Doing this in C is of course possible, but I want something more dynamic. So I wrote a tty line discipline that uses Lua to do all the decoding. That works like a charm: Load the script, test, change the script and reload. Really practical. I will release this code once I sorted out a few remaining details. And in the course of this work, I also found deficencies in slattach(8). Please show us the code. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be there in order to make a case.

The area west and south of South Boston, an old stage coach route, is noted for its many fine examples of architecture from the 18th & 19th century.
Battlefield - Clover - Providence
Halifax County grew up around stage coach routes and later in the 1850's around the railroad. The impact of the Civil War on the county becomes vivid at the battlefield. This area northeast of South Boston has several 18th & 19th century plantation houses.
Staunton River Battlefield
A Thousand Years of History - Pre-European Native American artifacts from on site archaeological excavations housed in a restored Late Victorian rail depot,
- a 20 room Colonial mansion with many original furnishings dating to early 19th century,

- a rails to trails hiking trail crossing the Staunton River,
- a nature trail,
- two welcome centers,
- all located on 330 acres of rolling hills with the river running through
Staunton Scenic River Tour
The name "Staunton" is said to originate from Captain Henry Staunton, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who earlier was in command of a company of soldiers organized to patrol the river valley from the mountains to the mouth of the Dan to protect the early white settlers from the incursions of the Indians. This section of the river came to be known locally as "Captain Staunton's River".
Washington Passes Through Halifax
President Washington spent two nights and a day in Halifax County, the guest of Col. Issac Coles of Coles' Ferry, in June of 1791.
Paddling the Waterways of Halifax County, Virginia
Halifax County provides a tremendous variety of paddling options; each of its four rivers has a distinctive character, and its two lakes and several creeks provide further unique trips.
Included in this paddling site are detailed river charts showing mileages, important physical features, and historical facts on the rivers Dan, Banister, and Staunton. Also, suggested trips to take along with their estimated travel times.
Civil Rights Heritage Trail
The trail is described by its founders as "the first memorial trail of its kind in Virginia dedicated to commemorating the African-American, American-Indian and women's struggle for equality."
Tobacco Heritage Trail
A system of long-distance recreational, multiuse, non-motorized trails. Approximately 100 miles of abandoned railroad corridor, plus easements and connecting bike routes along county roadways, will be employed in the construction of the Tobacco Heritage Trail through Brunswick, Halifax, and Mecklenburg counties.

Apple doesn't want Spotify to launch in the US.
The company has told major record label execs that if they allow the music streaming service to launch in America they will jeopardise further growth of the digital music market.
Spotify hasn't had much luck so far in the US, failing to secure licences from Universal, Warner, Sony and EMI.
According to CNET this is because Apple has stuck its oar in. It has raised doubts over whether the music subscription services can ever generate significant revenue. It has also said the easy availability of ad-supported free music would eat into music downloads sales, not just at iTunes but also for Amazon.
Apple is not alone in questioning whether it can be a viable business in the long-term.
A source told CNET: "Some of the labels are unconvinced of Spotify's business model and its ability to get people to pay for music; Apple executives have expressed concern to the labels that a free music service here could undercut already lackluster download sales; at least one label chief, Edgar Bronfman Jr., chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group, has lost confidence in ad-supported models."
Spotify has been a huge success over here in the UK but Apple may have a point. While being a completely legal service music acts tend not to like it because they get so majorly screwed over on profits – the little revenues which are made go first to the labels and then, if they're lucky, trickle down to the artists.
We recently spoke to Paul Manchester of independent vinyl label Dirty Water Records to see what it had to say about downloads, digital and Spotify over here in the UK.
"From an aesthetic and aural perspective, Dirty Water is only interested in vinyl. It looks better, sounds better, and even is more durable than a CD. The reality is many people have been buying CDs for years, and will continue to do so, so we release in CD format too except for singles."
He said the same logic applies to downloads: "As we've explained to our bands – many of whom share the same opinion expressed above – there are many people, particularly young, that don't buy physical music formats so unless we are prepared to write them off as customers we need to fill that demand. While downloads generate less revenue per unit than physical formats, there are no costs for production, storage, damage, shipping, etc., it never goes out of print, and can reach customers anywhere in the world instantly."
However, he said when it came to streaming it's a different story: "At this point we are still supportive of Spotify, Napster and other streaming services, although that is more from a fact-finding perspective than a belief in the economics of it.
"The compensation is derisory, there is little evidence to prove that streams are encouraging download purchases….and it seems to us that the ability to log on to, say, Spotify and choose a playlist of Dirty Water Records releases effectively for free is a strong disincentive to actually purchase either the digital or physical formats.
"However, the jury is still out and there are advantages in getting our releases heard which may result in additional sales and increased gig attendance"
In the meantime, take a look at this fantastic infographic from Information is Beautiful. It details how many plays, sales or downloads an artist, not a label, would need to get paid minimum wage in the US. For a self pressed CD selling at $9.99, they would on average need 143 sales. 1,229 would be needed from a service like iTunes or Napster.
Rhapsody would need 849,917 plays in a month. Last.FM would need 1,546,667 plays, and Spotify would need a staggering 4,549,020 plays in a month's time.

|Virginia Tech (15-15, 4-11)
|Clemson (16-13, 8-7)
CLEMSON, S.C. – Virginia Tech rallied from an eight-point second-half deficit to tie the game on two occasions with under four minutes to play, but the Hokies couldn't get over the hump, falling 58-56 to Clemson in an ACC game played Thursday night at Littlejohn Coliseum.
With the loss, the Hokies fell to 15-15 overall on the season, 4-11 in the ACC. Eight of Tech's 11 ACC losses have been by five points or less.
Clemson, which has won five of its past six ACC games, moved to 16-13 overall, 8-7 in league play. The Tigers avenged a 67-65 loss to the Hokies in Blacksburg on Feb. 4.
Clemson took a 58-56 lead on two free throws by Tanner Smith with 2:45 left in the game. Tech had four chances to tie the game or take the lead, but couldn't convert, coming up empty on its final four possessions of the game.
Clemson's Andre Young was whistled for a push off with 11.7 seconds remaining, giving the Hokies a final opportunity. Following a timeout with 7.5 seconds to go, Tech's Erick Green drove the lane and delivered a nice pass to Cadarian Raines, who was fouled with 2.2 seconds left.
Raines missed the first attempt, and after a Clemson timeout, he intentionally missed the second one. But Smith got the rebound and held on to the ball as time expired.
Jarell Eddie paced the Hokies with 15 points, hitting 5 of 10 from the floor, including 3 of 6 from beyond the 3-point arc. Raines added 12 points and eight rebounds, and Dorenzo Hudson finished with 11 points.
Green scored just eight points, which snapped his string of double-figure scoring performances at 30 games.
Smith scored 14 points for the Tigers, while Young added 10. Devin Booker scored 11.
Tech closes out the regular season with a home game on Sunday against N.C. State. Tipoff for the game is slated for 6 p.m.

I saw something about different boot0's like boot0md and boot0hfs, could one of these help?
At the moment the only way of booting windows is pressing F12 at startup and choosing the HDD.
Thanks for any help

Big banks may have recently scaled back plans for debit card fees, but activists are still encouraging consumers to switch their money to a credit union or smaller bank, and have dubbed this Saturday, Nov. 5, Bank Transfer Day.
According to a new poll by market research firm Harris Interactive, big banks may be vulnerable to losing customers to credit unions. Harris surveyed 2,463 adults online, and found that while 87 percent of individuals banking with credit unions reported being extremely or very likely to continue doing so, customers at the nation's largest banks were not feeling so loyal. Only two in five of Bank of America customers were extremely or very likely to continue with that bank, as were less than half (46 percent) at JP Morgan Chase and just over half (54 percent) at Wells Fargo.
Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, has tips to help guide consumers switching to a new financial institution:

The best vanilla ice cream on the planet? That's what judges for the upcoming World Dairy Expo 2009 in Madison, Wis., said about Stewart's Philly Vanilla.
They taste-tested 25 ice cream brands, and picked the local product, which is speckled with crushed vanilla beans and named for Philly Dake, who invented Stewart's Make Your Own Sundae program and its Make Your Own Scholarship program for college age children of Stewart's employees.
The ice cream was tested for flavor, body and texture, appearance and color, and melting quality. The award will be presented Sept. 29, the expo's opening day. Stewart's said it also will put the flavor on sale during the week of Sept. 14 at its 327 shops.
The World Dairy Expo runs from Sept. 29 through Oct. 3 just south of downtown Madison.

TV star Vanessa Minnillo insists she is still dating singer Nick Lachey, and the couple is even considering marriage.
Minnillo and Lachey have been dogged by rumors of an impending split since they began their love affair, which started after Lachey's marriage to Jessica Simpson collapsed in 2005.
The pair was forced to deny breaking up in April amid reports Minnillo was romancing her "Disaster Movie" co-star Matt Lanter.
And the former MTV presenter has again insisted they are still a couple, hinting they could be set to make the relationship more permanent.
Speaking to Las Vegas columnist Robin Leach, Minnillo pointed to a five-carat ring on her middle finger and said, "It will be 10 carats when it moves to the fourth finger!"
And in a subsequent interview with Leach, she adds: "This romance is still going strong. There will always be rumblings and rumors that we've broken up, but in fact, it's very much still on — and it keeps on getting better. … Maybe this will be the one time I wind up the bride instead of the bridesmaid!"

Whirlpool Corporation employees will be working alongside Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County and students at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., on the construction of a new home this fall.
The new home is being built for Chris Schaaf, a champion golfer in the Special Olympics, in a new neighborhood amongst other Whirlpool-sponsored Habitat homes from the previous three consecutive years.
The event will also serve as an informal recruitment opportunity for Kelley School of Business students.
"For the fourth consecutive year, Whirlpool is proud to partner with IU to build a home for a Bloomington family," said general manager and IU graduate Chris Ball. "We've seen firsthand the joy home ownership brings to families and Whirlpool is pleased to contribute. It's also a unique opportunity to meet the next generation of the workforce. The interview-by-hard hat approach is a fresh way to connect with talented students who share our values and commitment to giving back to our communities."
The project began in conjunction with Indiana University's Sept. 14 football game against the Bowling Green Falcons and is set to be dedicated two hours before the 8 p.m. kickoff during the Sept. 21 game against the Missouri Tigers. Jeff Fettig, Whirlpool chairman and CEO (as well as an IU graduate) will take part in the dedication, at which time Chris will receive his keys on the field of IU's Memorial Stadium.
Whirlpool is currently involved in an ongoing initiative to donate a range and an Energy Star-qualified refrigerator to every new Habitat home built in the U.S. and Canada. The company has sponsored more than 100 homes to date and donated over 140,000 appliances since partnering with Habitat in 1999.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, the Leafs aren't participating in the post season for the sixth consecutive season, but the playoffs began with Vancouver, Washington and Detroit getting the starts they were expecting while Nashville and Pittsburgh took the game one edge in the 4 v. 5 matchups.
Let's hope tonight's action only builds on yesterday's excitement. There are three games on the docket, with Montreal/Boston, Buffalo/Philadelphia and Los Angeles/San Jose getting underway tonight. What game are you most looking forward to watching?
As far as the Leafs' post-season goes, thirteen Leafs will represent their respective nations at the World Hockey Championships in Slovakia later this month. Carl Gunnarsson will wear the Three Crowns for Sweden while the Marlies' Marcel Mueller and Korbinian Holzer will feature for Team Germany. After news Mike Brown will represent Team USA, another pleasantly surprising addition has been in announced in the Marlies' 20-year-old defenceman Jake Gardiner, who in his ten games with the team to close out the season impressed observers with his speed and puck skills.
With Phaneuf, Schenn, MacArthur and Reimer (Canada), Mikhail Grabovski (Belarus), Nikolai Kulemin (Russia), and Juraj Mikus (Slovakia) also committed, that takes the Leaf count to 13. It's not the type of tournament they would ideally be playing in at this time of year but with quite a strong Leaf contingent, there's worse consolation prizes.
"The hockey media across North America questioned us. When you read or hear that we're 'hanging on' until those guys come back, you take that personally. I mean, we're obviously a better team with Sidney and Evgeni in the lineup. But we're also a good team without those guys.

Last Night in Leafs Prospects:
As expected, the Owen Sound Attack swept their second round series over the Plymouth Whalers with a 4-1 win last night. They will have a few days to prepare for the Western Conference finals, where they will face either the Saginaw Spirit or Windsor Spitfires. Jesse Blacker scored his fourth of the post season on the powerplay last night, bringing his current total to eight points in 10 playoff games. Despite an impressive performance in the first round versus Kitchener, Jamie Devane went pointless in four games in the second round, but still finished with a respectable five points.
Josh Nicholls' Saskatoon Blades bowed out of the post-season after a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Kootenay Ice completed their sweep of the second round series. Nicholls went out on a personal high note, scoring his fourth goal and sixth point in ten playoff games.
Your Say:
What series did you pay most attention to around the NHL last night? Who do you think will step up and become clutch playoff performers out of all the teams in action? Do you think the Vancouver Canucks have what it takes to knock off the Blackhawks this time around?

Brands on Facebook are always looking for new, efficient ways to connect with customers. CloudCraze, which recently released its 3.0 ecommerce platform, allows companies to use cloud technology to integrate Facebook actions into their sales sites, so users can like or share products that they purchase or enjoy.
CloudCraze allows customers to interact with brands' Twitter and Facebook pages through a social widget, allowing users to see friends who also like the pages on Facebook. When users go deeper, onto companies' product pages, they can interact via Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. The product widget lets consumers like individual products and send messages regarding the products to their Facebook friends. Brands can customize the widgets as needed.
CloudCraze works on the cloud, meaning that data are stored online instead of on a native server. It was built as an extension of the Salesforce platform.
Matt Burton, CloudCraze's senior architect, talked with AllFacebook about how his company's technology can help brands turn users and customers into advocates:
When you drill down to a product page, and get down to the detail page for that product, then we have tie-ins to Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest regarding that particular product. At that point, it's using the user's Facebook account to post on their own wall, "Hey, I found this awesome product and I liked it. Check it out." We use both the like for Facebook and the share … I look at Facebook as a huge enabler for word-of-mouth.
Readers: How do you get people talking about your products on Facebook?

I've been re-reading Your Face Tomorrow, in which Jacques Deza spends several months separated from his wife, Luisa. He is in London while she remains in Madrid, in their apartment, with their children, and he thinks about her every day. This, naturally, includes imagining what she might be doing without him—and with whom.
Toward the beginning of the first book, Fever, he considers:
And yet, illogically, I believe that Luisa will not take this new love or lover back to the apartment where she lives with our children or into our bed which is now hers alone, but that she will meet him almost secretly, as if respect for my still recent memory imposed this on her or implored it of her—a whisper, a fever, a scratch—as if she were a widow and I a dead man deserving to be mourned and who cannot be replaced to quickly, not yet, my love, wait, wait, your hour has not yet come, don't spoil it for me, give me time and give him time too, the dead man whose time no longer advances, give him time to fade, let him change into a ghost before you take his place and dismiss his flesh, let him be changed into nothing, wait until there is no trace of his smell on the sheets or on my body, let it be as if what was had never happened.
This idea wasn't one I'd remembered from my first reading of Your Face Tomorrow, and I believe I've already found one more allusion to it in the first volume. But I've seen Marías work it up into a whole novel: The Infatuations.
That novel also involves a woman named Luisa, and this Luisa is indeed a widow. The narrator is curious about the death of her

The "30 second card" is up, and the gate is about to drop for the 2016 Supercross season! Now, we all say this every year, but I can't think of a season that was so hotly anticipated as this one. As I type this, I'm currently listening to the press conference that features a whopping 13 riders, and you can argue there hasn't been a larger pool of potential 450 race winners. The deep field has been much of the talk for the last month, however a new story line has quickly stolen the show this week: Rain. Ah yes, rain, the great equalizer, the true instigator of chaos and improbability. Whispers of weeklong rain began to trickle in the previous few weeks, and by now we've all likely seen the photos on Instagram of Angels Stadium flooded.
While some may feel rather gloomy about the soggy situation, praying for rain, rain to go away, we feel rather bright about the season opener. Let me explain.
We'd be lying if we truly thought all 13 riders at the press conference today had an equal shot at winning A1. Taking a quick look back to 2015, only six different riders stood atop the podium throughout the 17 round series. We're not saying the other riders can't win Anaheim, or even get a win later in the season. However early in the season, competition is at its peak and a win is very, very hard to come by.
With that said, precipitation is the ray of light (believe it or not) we're desperately craving, bringing a season opener that really, anyone can win! Don't believe us? Jumping into the time machine, there was a very similar season opener in 2005. Chad Reed was hot off his first 250 Supercross title, Ricky Carmichael was hungrier than ever due to missing the previous season to injury, and some young kid by the name of James Stewart was making his debut on the big bike. With too many race wins between the three to count, Anaheim was going to be won by one of those three riders. Or so we thought. Flying under the radar was fan favorite and mud specialist, Kevin Windham who passed a buried RC, on his way to the first checkered flag of the year.
Jumping back to this year, there are a staggering 17 riders in the 450 class who have previously won a race and/or championship. That's a massive number we've never had before, and you can bet all 17 are licking their chops at splashing through the mud to a victory with the confidence of knowing that mud truly is the great equalizer.
Aside from the hysteria at the front of the pack, a rutted, deep Supercross track is not partial to anyone and it's safe to assume every other spot in the running order is up for grabs-and that includes last. These type of races always spell trouble for at least a few of the championship hopefuls, from stuck bikes, to mechanical failures, to even making it through qualifying. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict at least one of the front runners has a disastrous race.
The moment of truth is upon us and there are so many unanswered questions like "who is going to feel the wrath of Mother Nature?" "Who will break through for a surprising finish or victory?" and "How will this affect the championship in the long run?" Luckily, none of us know, and to me, that's what makes things exciting!

New music! Sometimes old music. Music that we love!
One of the most difficult aspects of electronic music is translating it to live performance — no matter what you do, it's hard to look like anything except a person hunched over a laptop. And of course, it's reasonable to raise an eyebrow at the fuzzy line between "live" performance and just pressing a series of play buttons. This guy is clearly working hard for every bleep and blorp, and I find it to be a really tastefully made composition that achieves a very cool level of performance. Watching this reminds me of watching Bob Ross paint as a kid — he knows exactly where he's going and how to get there in the allotted time, but the fun is in watching it take shape. Feel free to disagree, but you should know if advance that if you do I'm going to lean heavily on how well he pulls off that hat.

The first and only person I've met who has been on Bullshido has kicked my ass numerous times. Haven't met anyone from Bullshido outside of my dojo, though.
Honestly when I first came here I kind of saw this as the 4chan of martial arts forums. I got trolled for a good while, and sometimes people will jump all over a new person for not much of a good reason. But meh, if one waits it out, it's fine. I guess it helps that I'm not really one for picking fights. :p

text: > The biggest error that some people do is that they thing Openmoko == > Iphone: FALSE I think comparisons with the iPhone are inevitable and, when discussing the consumer market, absolutely justified. Speaking to someone that isn't into FOSS, you might start by saying "well, it's a small phone form factor, like a PDA - but the display takes up most of the front. You can phone people, text, check your email, it has an on-screen keyboard--""--Like an iPhone?". What's the distinction, the philosophy behind the operating system? Hardly visible to the average customer. Whether or not the Moko came first, who had the idea first, who began working on it first, isn't really relevant. The iPhone is a smartphone carrying out many of the same functions as the Moko, and is the product everyone has heard of. For the average user, when the Moko is released consumer-ready, say, early next year - it will probably be entirely justified for the consumer to respond - but why not just buy a third gen iphone? or why not buy some of the competition that O2, Sony, Nokia and the rest will probably produce in the next few months? Nokia have already produced some fantastic Linux-based devices with the N800 and N810. The only thing they don't do is receive phonecalls! Sean.

RIVER CLUB — Braden River Elementary student Cooper Corley headed to the principal's office this morning, but it wasn't because he was in trouble.
Today, the birthday boy had a plaque with his name on it.
Principal Cooper Corley.
"I woke up at 4 in the morning because I was so excited it was my birthday," said Cooper, who turned 8.
He fell back asleep from 5-6:30 a.m. and then was ready to start the day helping Principal Randy Mungillo with managing the carpool lanes at 8 a.m. as Braden River's Principal for the Day.
Besides enjoying of a lunch of hamburgers from McDonald's and birthday cupcakes with his appointed assistant principals — Cobee Crawford and Mason Kolbe — Cooper spent school hours visiting classrooms, monitoring the hallways, awarding good behavior and talking on his walkie-talkie, among other responsibilities.
"I like bossing people around and following around Mr. Mungillo," Cooper said. "I've been talking to coach (on the walkie-talkie) for the whole day."
Although Cooper enjoyed his break from doing work in class, he said being principal wasn't as easy as he thought it would be.
"It's hard work," he said. "But it's cool being in the principal's office and not being in trouble."
Principal Randy Mungillo said Cooper won the privilege of being principal for the day after his parents, Michael and Stacey Corley, won a bid for the opportunity during the school's annual Fall Ball last year.

A draft agreement that resolves years of acrimony and multimillion-dollar court battles between Bullis Charter School and the Los Altos School District was unanimously approved Monday night.
The charter school will drop four lawsuits, most filed over what facilities the district has offered Bullis in previous years, and the district will drop one suit. The agreement also provides the charter school with specific terms — down to numbers of portable classrooms and days its students may use the playground, gym, tennis courts and fields — for five years.
How each board arrived at its decision was a study in contrasts.
The district's Board of Trustees followed a roughly hour-long closed session with a public vote at about 7:15 p.m. The charter's Board of Directors, on the other hand, reached consensus during a predominantly closed-session meeting that ended just before midnight.
First announced on July 2, the agreement was fleshed out by a handful of members from each board over the past month. Monday marked the first time it had been shared with all board members.
"We're working our way through these documents," Jennifer Carolan, vice chairwoman of the charter's Board of Directors, said during the portion of the meeting that was open to the public.
"This is the first time we have seen some of these because of the Brown Act," she added, referring to the state's open meeting law. "We need to make sure we do our job and closely review them."
Across town, district Board Member Doug Smith said he was "very happy" about the agreement. The conflict between Bullis and the district has been an issue during his five years in office.
"I'm excited about the prospect of putting that to bed, so our staff can spend all of our time focusing on the kids," he said.
According to Smith, the district spent $1.7 million on Bullis-related legal fees in the past school year alone.
The agreement was nurtured in part by both sides' desire to pass a $150 million bond measure in November to fund more schoolrooms. The district is grappling with enrollment that has increased 25 percent in 10 years. And short of building its own facility, Bullis must rely on voter goodwill to realize its goal of having its own standalone campus.
Los Altos Hills Mayor John Radford, who stopped by the Bullis board meeting, called the agreement "historic." He said the conflict, now a decade old, has turned neighbor against neighbor.
"It's been a long, long time coming, but I think it's a great agreement to have," Radford told The Daily News.
"Initially, it was just about the kids, but it's now become a much broader community issue and the community needs to heal and move on," he continued. "Thank God we have this in place."

A tale of new cities
A residential construction boom revives downtowns
Published 2:45 pm, Saturday, December 14, 2013
More than 100 new apartments are in the pipeline for downtown Troy, all set to open next year. It's part of a surge in market-rate apartments being carved out of vacant buildings in the Capital Region's downtowns, from Schenectady, where lofts and an ambitious waterfront development along the Mohawk are being built, to Albany, where empty former office buildings, schools and even a bank are being converted to residential use.
The suburbs haven't been forgotten; new developments also are under way there.
But after decades of a population shift from the city to the suburbs, a reversal is under way.
What's behind the surge?
"We're now into multiple generations of kids growing up in the suburbs and never knowing the urban environment," said Bill Dunne, Troy's planning and economic development commissioner. "They go away to school and get that introduction to urban amenities. They're looking for that vibe" after college.
Population losses in the cities stabilized between 2000 and 2010, said Rocky Ferraro, who heads the Capital District Regional Planning Commission. While baby boomers looks for more amenities, the millennials — the children of the boomers — are seeking "higher-density, mixed use, pedestrian-friendly areas that complement their lifestyle," Ferraro adds.
Monica Kurzejeski, Troy's economic coordinator, said some projections have nearly three-quarters of the millennial generation moving to cities' urban cores.
One advantage to developers: There's all that infrastructure already in place, said Jesse Holland of Sunrise Management and Consulting, an Albany-based property manager and developer.
Water, sewer and natural gas lines already exist. And while developers can have additional expenses for rehabilitating existing buildings and removing asbestos and lead paint, that's offset by the years that it can take to get a new development approved in the suburbs.
As for filling those new apartments
"Pretty much everyone's running 95 percent (occupied) right now," Holland said.
"We're filling them as fast as we can build them," said Ray Gillen, who chairs the Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority.
The apartments being built typically rent for well over $1,000 a month. And they're full of amenities, from indoor parking and Wi-Fi to elevators, balconies and even dog runs.
Apartment dwellers "still want modern things" such as stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, said Dunne. "It's becoming very competitive, too. You can't put in laminate counters and white appliances anymore."
And the old standard — location, location, location — still holds true, especially waterfronts, said Ferraro.
In Troy, lower River Street is lined with apartments that look out over the nearby Hudson River.
Galesi Group last week received $5 million in regional economic development council grants to assist in its project on the Mohawk River just north of downtown Schenectady that will include commercial and residential space.
And developer Uri Kaufman has nearly filled the former Harmony Mill complex along the Mohawk in Cohoes, which are on a bluff overlooking Cohoes Falls.
In Albany, state agencies have vacated many buildings as they relocate to state-owned property.
"There's been no major improvement" in office vacancy rates downtown, said Tom Cairns, an associate broker with NAI Platform in Albany. "That's a glut that will continue for years."
That's leading more developers to convert those buildings to residential use because there's not really an alternative, he said.
Albany's downtown has 200 new residential units, with 75 of those completed this year. Another 265 are under way or in the planning stage, said Mike Yevoli, Albany's development and planning commissioner.
In the neighborhoods, 268 units are planned for Park South and 125 units for Delaware Avenue, he said.
One thing downtown still needs, said Cairns, is a grocery store.
Multi-unit apartment buildings made up nearly a third of total residential construction by dollar value in the four-county area in 2011 and 2012, the highest share in the more than three decades that the regional planning commission has been tracking the figures.
City officials expect their share of those apartments to continue to grow, as residents are drawn to what makes cities different.
"We're gritty," said Dunne of Troy. "We're not a chain place. You've got plenty of options for coffee, and none of them are Starbucks."

If you've every visited my blog before, or spent any time here at all, you will realize that I am an enthusiastic fan of Dave Ramsey and his program for getting out of debt and staying debt free.
I first learned of Dave Ramsey about 7 years ago when my folks attended one of his seminars in Portland, Oregon. They paid for my husband and I to go as well. My folks actually paid for all three of their children and their spouses to attend the seminar.
The common sense, logical approach to finances, debt, and credit cards was very refreshing. There were no fancy formulas, no hyperbole, and no "talking down" to the audience. Concepts were explained fully, using relatable examples and scenarios.
Nothing was presented in a "get rich quick" fashion. We were told HONESTLY getting out of debt was hard work, and would require sacrifice and time. But it was totally "do-able" and within our grasp.
Since that time, I have purchased a couple of Dave Ramsey's books:
- The Total Money Makeover
- Financial Peace Revisited
And a couple videos:
- Dumping Debt
- Cash Flow Planning
Using these tools has helped me to shed approximately $35,000 of debt over the past 5 years. It's not always been easy. There were times that my get-out-of-debt strategy had to be slowed or put on hold while we just tried to survive, following my husband's death. But even though my progress has been slow at times, I have hung in and made a commitment to create a debt-free life.
That's why I'm excited to share with you the Dave Ramsey $10 Sale at www.daveramsey.com!
The books that I read to begin my debt-free journey, and I keep in my home library to refer to again and again, are on sale now.
You can get them for yourself, or a loved one.
You can do what my parents did – give them to your grown children to help them get out of debt for themselves and their family.
You can do what I have done – give these tools to my children so they never have to endure the crushing weight of debt. We can spare our children the stress and heartache so many Americans endure by teaching them to stay clear of the "debt trap" and to make their money work for them.
Change their attitude about money and debt, and you change their world.
Here are some of my posts about lessons I have learned (and taught to my daughters):
- Wells Fargo Debt – Gone!
- Debt Snowball and How It Worked For Me
- I Really Hate Debt!
- Raising a Financially Savvy Child
So check out the $10 Sale at daveramsey.com. Now is the perfect time to start changing your financial life. We are almost ready for 2017. Make this the year you begin to crawl out of the hole where debt has placed you. Get a solution in place to change your future for the better. You and your family deserve to be debt-free. There is real freedom when you don't owe your paycheck (and your soul) to the credit card company, the mortgage company, or the bank.Change your attitude about money and debt, and you change your world. Click To Tweet
Take control of your finances, and teach your kids to do the same.
I have links on this site to Dave Ramsey's books on Amazon. They are affiliate links, which means I make a little money (at no extra charge to you) when you click on a link and make a purchase.
So having you click on these links to buy the products would be a way for me to make a little extra money.
But I am going to encourage you to forego the links on the side of the page for now, and instead click on this link:
I am getting no payment, no kickback, from daveramsey.com for this post, or for you going to their site to purchase. I get nothing in exchange for this post. This is not sponsored in any way by Dave Ramsey.
I believe so much in these tools, and know they can help you, that I just want to point you to the $10 Sale. And that's all.
My goal with this blog is to help other single moms with their struggles in the areas of faith and finance.
I am sharing what has worked for me, and for others, trusting that will help make the way easier for someone else.I guess they call that "paying it forward." Whatever its called, I hope you will take advantage of this $10 Sale from Dave Ramsey to make a new future for yourself and your family.

"Arizona GOP Candidate Says Democrats Are Behind Most Mass Shootings"–If By "Democrats" You Mean "Non-White"….
This just appeared in the Huffington Post
Arizona GOP Candidate Says Democrats Are Behind Most Mass Shootings
Posted: 05/18/2014 9:21 am EDT Updated: 05/18/2014 9:59 am EDT
FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — A Republican businessman running for Arizona's 1st Congressional District says most mass shootings in the U.S. are committed by Democrats.
The Arizona Daily Star reports (http://bit.ly/1lNY8Fd) that Gary Kiehne made the remarks at a Republican primary debate Saturday in Florence.
Kiehne, a Springerville rancher, told the 60-member audience that "99 percent of (mass shootings) have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people."
State Rep. Adam Kwasman, also a candidate and was there, said he supports gun rights. House Speaker Andy Tobin, who is also running, did not attend.
The debate was put on by the Pinal County Republican Committee.
The Aug. 26 primary election will decide who faces incumbent U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, a Democrat. The mostly rural district is the state's largest district by area.
The party registration question isn't something we've gone into deeply–James Von Brunn, the Holocaust Museum shooter, has frequently been referred to as a "registered Democrat." So was J. T. Ready, and at a time (1966) when almost all whites in Texas were, probably Texas Tower shooter Charles Whitman.
I've noted repeatedly how many mass shooters are actually "Immigrant Mass Murderers".
If they haven't been naturalized, they have no business belonging to an American political party at all, but of course, they have no business committing mass murder.
In any case, we might expect the various Asian, Hispanic, and African immigrants who committed mass shootings to have a high proportion of Democrats.
In an article called "Have You Noticed That White Dudes Keep Mass Murdering People?" No, We`ve Noticed You Promoting It,I pointed out that this kind of crime gets a lot more airplay when a white person does it, and pointed to a class of mass murderer that frequently gets omitted from these roundups, black guys like Omar Thornton who decide their white co-workers are racist and shoot them all. I wrote
Here are eight photographs omitted from the Mother Jones page, [A 30-year timeline of mass shootings, with photos of the killers.By Mark Follman, Gavin Aronsen, and Deanna Pan, December 15, 2012 ] which would have made it look more like America as it is today.(Victim numbers include wounded.)
I'm pretty sure all these guys below voted the straight Democratic ticket, although because felons can't vote, some of them didn't get the chance to vote for Obama.
Seriously, while the 99 percent figure suggested by Arizona Republican Gary Kiehne is hyperbole, Republicans are by and large the party of legal gun ownership, justifiable homicide, and the death penalty.
Democrats are by and large the party of banning legal gun ownership, protesting stop and frisk, attacking people who have committed justifiable homicide, trying to prevent the death penalty–and allowing felons to vote.
Putting it another way, the Republicans are the White Party, and the Democrats are the Black Party.
Perhaps Kiehne could clarify that. Or perhaps he thinks he's in enough trouble already.
|Maurice Clemons +5 victims
|Charles Lee Thornton +8 victims
|Colin Ferguson +25 victims
|Clifton McCree +5 victims
|Hastings Arthur Wise +7 victims
|William D. Baker + 9 victims
|Omar Thornton + 11 victims
|Nathan Dunlap +4 victims

Healthcare is complex. Every time I hear of something and think "That's crazy. No way it needs to be that complicated." My thoughts are often quickly changed once I learn about the history and reasoning behind things.
That terrifies me. 🙂
People are really freaking smart here.
People are really qualified – or at the least appear confident in their skills.
Everyone loves to learn and share what they learn.
Not a lot of jerks. In fact I can't think of a single person who's out for just themselves.
Everyone is a Senior or Lead something. I have very little experience with folks fresh out of college. I'd love to see more greenhorns and apprentice/mentor relationships.
Things change. Leadership matters.
The reward for competence is usually more work. This is true of the environment here. People who work hard – and do good work – get more work. You will never find yourself bored.

As noted here at The Iron Tavern and other popular OSR blogs in October, the folks at Frog God Games were going to release the S&W Complete PDF for free if their The Lost Lands: Sword of Air Kickstarter hit 400 backers. This isn't a stripped down, sans art PDF – but the real deal with artwork and all.
Today the Kickstarter hit 401 backers and true to their word have released the S&W Complete PDF for free as announced over on Matt Finch's blog. I don't want to reproduce his content from his blog here, but for his own words and the caveats associated with it (primarily don't make changes to it and that they still retain copyright to it, so don't lift the art from it) – visit his blog:
Mythmere's Blog Post – Swords & Wizardry Complete Rules Now Free
The Frog God Games site will be updated shortly, but in the meantime permission has been granted to redistribute the S&W Complete PDF.
The Iron Tavern will act as a short term host for now and post a copy for download. As Frog God Games gets caught up and updated, I will likely remove as it makes more sense for folks to grab the most up to date copy from Frog God rather than a potentially out of date copy here.
Swords & Wizardry Complete PDF Revised
Are you wondering why Swords & Wizardry? Check out a post I did for S&W Appreciation Day earlier this year – 'Is Swords & Wizardry the One?'
Also – don't forget to check out the Kickstarter that is responsible for this. There is still time to get in on it!

"I said 'You've got to use one of our guys,'" he said. "But he was like, "No, I've got to do it.'"
Still, sound engineering wasn't entirely at fault for the audience's lack of enthusiasm. The theater was less than half full at the start of the 6 p.m. performance (delayed until 7 p.m. by technical difficulties and some late arriving musicians), by far the lightest of the trip. And the performance can only be described as lackluster, what I call a "pro gig" when I'm trying to be diplomatic. That's when there's a high foundation of talent, ensuring songs are adequately constructed, but without heart or sense of creativity. Medeski's keys were startlingly grey instead of his usual broad pallet of atonal sounds, as was Scofield's guitar. Maybe they were rushed, or maybe it had something to do with some rumored sound issue causing yelling backstage beforehand, but there wasn't a single song that hit on any level with meuntil the finale just before the encore.
"Now I'd like to bring outand this is the first time this group has gotten to play with himDavid Sanborn," said Marcus Miller, the saxman's longtime collaborator and host of the cruise.
The five played a slamming version of "Little Walter Rides Again," and Sanborn's surprising and unbilled appearance seemed to loosen the stage as solos rediscovered their color and there were several exchanges of interconnecting dialect. It went long, loud and in all kinds of subgroups before the final group free jam, and got a raucous level of standing applause despite the diminished audience.
It's amazing how much crud can be redeemed by a single great momentI was energized enough to risk eviction from the encore by breaking their very strict photography ban and snapping another world-exclusive Blurry Bootleg Of The Day.
If the sound arrangements ultimately didn't work out for the audience, at least the efforts of the tech crew weren't wasted on the musicians they were trying hardest to please.
"I didn't notice anythingI just played," Medeski said. "There's always something with these, but that's everywhere."
One late show was a trio playing again the next day, so I headed back to the Crow's Nest to hear the Texas Tenors playing with Miller and members of his band. It was one of those tasty blues gigs where the solos are complex enough to be more straight-ahead than blues, with a lot of fun tricks like an electric guitar solo which somehow rattled off a machine-gun paced rolling barrage of notes with inexplicable clips that sounded like the D or G string was absent.
Whether or not the day was considered a success by the tech crew, Baldassari was upbeat about their overall efforts when I spoke to him on the final night of ship concerts (as you may have noticed, these posts are a couple of days behind real time). Wearing one of those overly colorful print shirts and looking notably more relaxed, he said their main goal of keeping performers and listeners oblivious to the maelstrom of challenges was a success, hearing no complaints from the musicians about setups.
"We burned up a lot of gear, but we got through it," he said, adding "Stuff like that happens all the time. We bring spares, we expect it and we plan for it."

My daughter absolutely hates writing...not creative writing, but the physical act of writing. If she could discuss her assignments rather than write them down she would finish her work twice as fast as she does now. She has stated that she doesn't like writing because it hurts her hands. I get writers cramp as well so I know what she means, but I know this is not the case all the time. Does anyone know of something to help with writers cramp for kids..special pencils and such? Do you think it would be harmful to let her do more of her work orally or through methods other than writing such as computer games and such?

The modern scholarly funding imperative is "fund only that which produces American wealth," and this has been devastating to the humanities. But here's a good reason to fund the humanities: they give us science fiction, and sf is a secret engine of innovation and economic growth. READ THE REST
SF will save the humanities
So, in other words, SF produces American wealth?
Sure, lots of clever ideas appear first in science fiction, and lots of people in STEM careers read science fiction. But it seems to me that this is fundamentally the argument, "If you can't beat them, join them", and we desperately need to beat them.
That is, the imperative to reduce everything to a narrow question of how to increase profit margins is destroying us and our world. And it's become a trope for liberal journalists to criticize some trend or widespread business practice and throw in the "plot twist" that hey, guess what, if we made this change, we'd actually increase profitability! Living well is a means to improving productivity!
Well, fuck profitability.
And really, the humanities, and the liberal arts, are where people should be learning how to say that there are things that matter more than profitability. Truth, beauty, and love come to mind. In fact, I'd suggest that the real reason that the humanities and the social sciences are under attack is because they explicitly encourage social criticism and the positing of alternatives.
Setting that last point aside for a moment, if somehow we were to win an argument that the humanities deserved funding because that would support the writing of science fiction, and science fiction is a source of wealth-generating ideas, wouldn't that put the humanities in the position of depending upon patronage that is contingent upon the production of marketable ideas? Do we want to see book reviews that focus on whether the novel described marketable new products?
The article makes the point by example of SF inspiring science and engineering, ok I can accept that. What it doesn't do is prove that liberal arts programs produce SF writers. Running through SF authors I read they had previous careers in science, engineering or programming. They are largely self taught writers and were not liberal arts students.
@andrew_41: Aside from the fact that Shulevitz's argument is "only half-unserious," I wonder how representative a sample "SF authors I read" might be. Then there's the matter of the role played by the humanities in the education of writers who come out of "science, engineering or programming." And what of the readership? Just tech nerds? That's not what I've observed in the decades I've been involved in SF culture. (And exactly where, I wonder, does a self-taught writer find the materials from which to learn? Do they spontaneously generate from the cultural matrix?)
In any case, the whole matter of evaluating a branch of education according to how many dollars its graduates generate is a kind of economic reductionism, which is one of the pathologies of the current corporatist worldview, akin to the narrow notion that the only duty a corporation has is to increase value for shareholders.
The humanities have never, at least in my lifetime, received the kind of support that engineering and the sciences have. I entered college on the heels of the post-Sputnik panic that resulted in buckets of money getting dumped into the educational system, and some of that slopped over into non-science fields. On the other hand, research in the humanities does not demand the kind of funding that the sciences do--we didn't need to equip labs or employ armies of post-doc assistants. The biggest expense for, say, an English prof would be travel funds for attending conferences or (even more pricey) salary replacement for time off to actually do research and writing instead of grading stacks of essays. These days, even those crumbs have gotten scarce.
"SF" = "Scholarly Funding" ?

…because it is.
Dear Jan,
Check out the most recent Cat and Girl. This one hit me right in the sternum and made me laugh out loud. I think many knitters will have the same reaction.
I love that Cat is happy to hold Girl's yarn – while she knits, not while she is rolling a ball. That is true friendship. And must indicate that Cat is not a knitter, or he'd never give up all that time from his own needles.
Happy Friday,
