It's easy to see when something is unfair but focusing on this other feeling is more productive.
"Love has nothing to do with fairness. Love is Love." — Susan Page, Why Talking is Not Enough
"It's not fair!" How often have you heard this from young or adolescent siblings? I grew up as an only child, so I was never indoctrinated with the concept of fairness. Not growing up with it, I have at times been baffled when couples say the same thing — "It's not fair!"
- "It's not fair that I have to work just like you do but I do most of the housework!"
- "It's not fair that you are in control of when we make love!"
- "It's not fair that I am the one who always has to get up at night with the kids!"
- "It's not fair that you get to go on fishing trips with your friends and I always have to stay home with the kids!"
- "It's not fair that I make all the money and you just spend it any way you want!"
Right. It's not fair. But so what? Why is fairness so important? Fairness is a concept that the ego-wounded part of us learned as we were growing up. Many people have brought the concept of fairness that they learned as siblings or later in the workplace, into their marriages. But it doesn't work in marriage. When you make fairness more important than love, then you will be bickering about fairness and lose the love.
Is it fair that if one person doesn't want to make love, the other person doesn't get to have sex? If we look at this in terms of fairness, we lose the point completely. The real point is that if you love someone, you would not want them to make love if this is not what they want. And, if you love someone, you might make love out of that love, even if you are not feeling sexual. If you look at it in terms of fairness, you will get stuck, but if you look at it in terms of love, you will find your way though.
Is it fair for one person to make the money and the other to spend it? Again, there is no way to resolve this conflict if look at in terms of fairness. But if look at it in terms of love, one person might say, "I am better at earning money than my spouse, and he or she does other important things in our marriage." If you get locked into what is fair in your conflicts, you will not be able to resolve them, because many things often don't seem fair. But if you are willing to let go of worrying about fairness and focus on what is loving to your and to your spouse, you will discover a resolution.
If you are very attached to fairness, you might want to examine why this is so important to you. What are you telling yourself about a lack of fairness that is upsetting to you? What does a lack of fairness mean to you? Are you telling yourself that you are a jerk if you end up doing more than the other person? If you are telling yourself something like this, then you will continue to be attached to trying to make everything fair. But what if you were to look at things in terms of what is most kind to you and to your spouse? What if you balanced things, not in terms of fairness, but in terms of kindness — the balance between the kindness you give to yourself and the kindness you give to your partner? This is something you always have choice over, while you don't have choice over what your partner does or doesn't do.

Self Compassion Illustrates Ability To Connect With Yourself
Self Compassion Flows Down The River Of Truth By Lori English
Compassion is a an emotion that can make you feel good as well as having a great understanding for someone else. Self compassion is letting go of the negative thoughts that circle around your head daily. If you can have self compassion for yourself you will likely have compassion for others as well.
What is Self -Compassion?
Self-Compassion is an emotion can have many opinions on what it really stands for.
When you think of having compassion for others what comes to your mind? Is it being nice to someone and helping them?
If you are someone that wants to help others and you have no agenda that means you just have a natural feeling that helping or volunteering is something that your heart wants to do for someone.
Have you ever experienced a deadly car accident and you see strangers jumping out of their cars to help others they never met before that is a form of being compassionate for another person. It can be big or small that can make a big impact on someone's life.
Cultivating Compassion
Our mind is very stubborn and wants to revert back to old behavior that did not serve us.
Having a compassionate heart is such that it can make a person less vindictive.
Allow yourself to be open to others. Don't be quick to make a snap judgement.
Do not play the blame game with others take responsibility for your part in a manner.
Respect your inner hero and you are more likely to have compassion for another, Your ego is not activated or judgement of another person it's pure love for another human being.
Do for others without wanting anything in return, the heart of a compassionate person is not looking for praise or any type of pat on the back.
Cultivating Self-Compassion
In the practice of self-compassion is deeply rooted in a different type off of emotional response then self-esteem. According toKristin Kneff, Ph.D., speaks candidly about how American's can be self -centered and narcissistic.
Kneff describes thoughts we are always comparing ourselves to others which in fact is so harmful to our self -esteem. She explains that looking to others for self-gratification or feeling good is not going to fulfill you.
you are more likely to try again if you are self-compassionate A lot of people think that having the art of self-compassion is weak, but it is the opposite you are allowing yourself to make mistakes and not emotionally beating yourself up which makes you more realize.
http://Kneff, https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/05/why-self-compassion-works-better-than-self-esteem/481473/
An example of having self- compassion for yourself would be if you are having a bad day at work and you made a mistake you could blame yourself all day and feel lousy or give yourself a break and say we all make mistakes next time I will get it right.
The importance of self -compassion cannot be stressed enough because of the root of how you feel about yourself is grounded in it. If you think that you are not worthy or feel bad when you are not doing the perfect work your expectations on yourself are very high. Judging yourself and being this rigid and feeling that everything has to be perfect will only lead you on a path to unhappiness.
The concept of woman and body image with the rise of eating disorders and how women and girls see themselves is an example how self-compassion is not allowed. Today, commercialism and the concept of being thin is over rated and young girls are following societal norms that portray women as thin and tiny.
Self -compassion is used along with mindfulness in many eating disorder clinics along with teaching young girls to have self- compassion.
Mixed messages are given to women and young girls that they have to look a certain way or act a certain way to be accepted. Teach them self compassion and do not compare themselves to others they are special and unique the way they are.
Self- Compassion
It is very important to have a toolbox of coping mechanisms that can help us deal with life's everyday stress. Teaching mindfulness and skills of self-compassion in our classrooms can be just as important to teaching math classes. In school, we are taught the basics and some other tools we will need to get a job, but the most important teaching can be to live and cope with everyday disappointments and struggles. Teaching our children new effective ways to fit through the hole with the square peg and come out the other side even better.

F1 driver Robert Kubica injured in rally car accident
Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica suffered serious injuries in a rally car accident and according to reports, surgeons are fighting "to re-establish the functionality" of his right hand.
From our friends at Yahoo! EuroSport: (link contains video of the aftermath of the crash)
A spokeswoman for his F1 team Renault said Kubica, their leading driver and a race winner in Canada in 2008 with his former BMW-Sauber team, had been flown to hospital.
"After undergoing extensive medical checks this morning, Robert Kubica has been diagnosed with multiple fractures to his right arm, leg and hand. He is currently undergoing surgery at the Santa Corona Hospital in Pietra Ligure," the Renault statement said.
Kubica joined Renault after driving for BMW Sauber. Either Bruno Senna or Roamin Grosjean will likely replace Kubica alongside teammate Vitaly Petrov.
Our best wishes go out to Kubica for a full recovery.

How do the events in the final chapters of "To Kill A Mockingbird" explain the first sentence in the whole novel?Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird"
- print Print
- list Cite
In the first sentence of "Two Kill a Mockingbird," the motif of learning experiences is introduced with the novel as Bildungsroman, or a novel of maturation.) With the allusion to Jem's having his arm broken when he was thirteen years old and with the allusion to Dill's first giving the children the idea of making Boo Radley come out [of his house], the reader is lead through the narration of all the events leading to the attack upon Jem that caused his arm to have been broken.
From Atticus Finch's taking on the defense of the poor, innocent Tom Robinson, to the pranks of the children, then their communication with Boo in the knothole of the tree, to the trial of Tom and interrogations of Bow Ewell, the events of the last chapter all converge upon the walk home of Jem and Scout. After Bob Ewell has tried to break into Judge Taylor's house and attempted to intimidate Hellen Robinson, there is foreshadowing of his act of revenge against Atticus. As the children return from the school pageant, a dark figure attacks them. As Jem and the dark figure struggle, a third figure appears; the children do not recognize him in this darkness, but it is at this point in the novel that the Tom Robinson/Bob Ewell theme comes together with the Boo Radley theme.
As Scout stands on the Radley porch, Scout has her maturing moment as she realizes the moral truth that the Radley place has no childish mystery about it at all. The town looks the same from it as it has from her own porch. And, with Scout's discovery that Boo is a kind person, she has developed from a little rascal to a young lady who was just escorted from her home. She now understands her neighbor and realizes the disastrous effects which would occur by bringing Boo to trial. This maturity is measured against Atticus's mistaken conclusions about Bob Ewell and Heck Tate's view of the murder. In actuality, Scout understands more than does Atticus about the implications of Boo Radley in the incident. Scout's growth is clearly evident at the conclusion of Harper Lee's novel.

It's instructive, I think, to mark the resurgence of Apple Computer by what happens at the annual Macworld Expo in San Francisco, both in terms of Apple's keynote announcements and the mood on the show floor. Three years ago in 2003, my Macworld Expo SF wrap-up article was titled "Apple Reduces Its Microsoft Dependency," and in 2004, the equivalent article was subtitled "Enter the Musical Trojan Horse." Last year's article? "Apple Gets Aggressive," and if there was any false bravado in Apple's attitude then, the company's record over the last few years in delivering desirable iPods and Macs supports my title this year. Over that time we've seen Apple metaphorically get to its feet, build the iPod from an overly expensive music player into the trendiest piece of consumer electronics ever, and establish itself as a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Apple has reason to be confident.
For instance, Apple's iPod business has become so strong that Steve Jobs relayed only the most interesting numbers - 42 million iPods sold so far, 32 million of which were in 2005, and 14 million of those in the holiday quarter of the year - before introducing the only iPod-related product of the show, the $50 iPod Radio Remote. Instead, acknowledging that this was Macworld Expo, Jobs focused on iLife '06 and introduced the new Intel Core Duo-based iMac and MacBook Pro months ahead of previous expectations, all while displaying the trademark showmanship and humor that cause people to line up for hours to get a seat (don't worry if you weren't there in person; you can still watch the keynote webcast). It takes confidence to pull off a stunt like dressing Intel's CEO in a chip-fabrication bunny suit and bringing him on stage through a dramatic plume of smoke, and it certainly took confidence for Jobs to mock the rumor sites with his Super Secret Apple Rumors podcast demo. At the moment, Apple is on a roll, and while that doesn't mean everything is perfect, the companies whose fortunes are tied up with Apple are rolling alongside.
A Full Floor -- Although Macworld Expo is nowhere near the size it was in its heyday, when it filled both the South and North Halls of the Moscone Convention Center, it's been on an upswing over the last few years. In 2004, there were 260 vendors scattered woefully throughout both halls. In 2005, IDG World Expo wised up and combined all 280 booths into the South Hall. This year once again filled only the South Hall, but it was chock full with 361 vendors. Official attendance numbers aren't yet available, but early impressions indicated that attendance would once again increase from last year's nearly 36,000 attendees. The floor felt full too - the first day is always crazy, of course, but even later in the week, my necessary dashes from meeting to meeting weren't smooth sailing.
Much of the increase was due to the preponderance of iPod-related vendors. In 2005, I commented on how many iPod-related booths there were as well: 32 all told, 14 of whom were selling iPod cases (out of a total of 280). How reasonable that all seems in light of this year, when there must have been 60 or more exhibitors showing some sort of product related to the iPod (no one had the fortitude to count them all), 49 of which sold iPod cases. Last year, Macworld Editor in Chief Jason Snell had suggested that perhaps we'd see iPod-related booths collected into the North Hall; that didn't happen, but if the expansion happens, such a thing would be possible next year.
Despite the jokes about renaming the show "iPodworld," I don't think an iPodworld could even begin to stand on its own. The simple fact of the matter is that there aren't that many categories of iPod accessory: roughly speaking, there are only cases, headphones and speakers, car chargers, FM transmitters and cassette adapters, remotes, voice recorders, and camera connectors. Within each category, most of the products are quite similar, and no matter how involved you are with your iPod, there's a limit on how many accessories you're likely to buy over the lifetime of an iPod. No, the only reason all the iPod-related exhibitors were in attendance is that Mac users are also likely to be iPod users, and in a world where many of the products really are almost identical, companies will take any chance they can get to stand out from the crowd. Even that was difficult at Macworld Expo, because there were so many iPod-related booths, and some of them had so many products, that they all blurred together quickly if you weren't paying close attention. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed looking at all the iPod accessories, and found the number and variety of the cases tremendously amusing, but I can't recall specifics about more than a few of the vendors.
Confidence and Cold Cash -- Along with Apple's strong keynote and the increased number of exhibitors, confidence was being exuded on the show floor in more frivolous ways that we haven't seen in years. Tchotchkes - little logo-imprinted giveaways - were far more common than in the last few years, and a number of companies put more effort into dressing their employees identically, with the prize being taken by design-conscious LaCie, whose people were even wearing the same white and orange Nike Shox FSM sneakers to match the rest of their outfits.
This year also marked the return of the booth babe, a sure sign than companies have money to spend. XtremeMac, which sold iPod cases in a bewildering array of designs, placed a treadmill in their booth; apparently the point was to show that their sport cases would in fact enable an iPod to survive the rigors of being worn by attractive young women in workout attire walking briskly. One woman said she was putting in 8 miles per day, and all things considered, being paid to walk on a treadmill and listen to music for a few hours isn't a terrible job. Speaking as a competitive runner, I would have been much more impressed if they'd hired runners instead and put up a scoreboard with the cumulative distance their iPod cases had covered for the show. Another iPod case vendor whose name I forget (so much for that advertising!) had collected four attractive Asian women, dressed them as airline attendants, and had them walk around the show floor with rolling luggage. And Tonya claimed she saw a booth dude somewhere, though once again, she hadn't the least recollection of the details. Much as we'd prefer to see more clever ways of attracting attendees to a booth (like the fresh cookies at the Circus Ponies booth or the SketchUp demos at the Last Software booth, which provided fruit smoothies and hot pretzels), the fact that exhibitors are once again spending money on booth babes is indicative of the upbeat mood.
Focus on San Francisco -- With Macworld Boston cancelled, even more attention was focused on the San Francisco show this year, and I expect that will be even more true next year, as companies with products that are best shown in person take the best chance to do so. Overall, I think it's the right move for the moment, since as the Macintosh industry rebounds, it makes sense to focus on a single important show and make it even more of a touchstone for the community. Until next year...

Now that the new vcard ontology has a nice W3C namespace, I'm experimenting with representing scholarly data more with it. Ideally I want to use both FOAF and vCard. Example: <Chapter rdf:about="urn:isbn:34232345#23"> <author rdf:parseType="Resource"> <agent rdf:resource="http://ex.net/contributors/1"/> <position>1</position> </author> <dc:title>Chapter Title</dc:title> <pages>23-54</pages> <dcterms:isPartOf rdf:resource="urn:isbn:34232345"/> </Chapter> <foaf:Person rdf:about="http://ex.net/contributors/1"> <v:fn>John Doe</v:fn> <v:sort-string>Doe, John</v:sort-string> <v:role>Assistant Professor</v:role> <v:org rdf:parseType="Resource"> <v:organization-unit>Sociology Department</v:organization-unit> <v:organization-name>Example University</v:organization-name> </v:org> </foaf:Person> I'm starting to wonder if this is wrong, and that it'd be better to do ... <foaf:Person rdf:about="http://ex.net/contributors/1"> <foaf:vcard rdf:resource="#x"/> </foaf:Person> ... or some such? Logic: the notion of the card presumes a particular role within an organization (hence role's domain is v:VCard), and is not about the agent per se (despite the name and such properties, which ARE about the agent!). I cannot model, for example, changing affiliations using this ontology. But having a property to associate vcards and foaf agents allows for this. Ugh, this is a little hairy.

Disclaimer: This blog is not about any specific person or group of people. It is a general piece about everyone I know and a widespread social behavior I've noticed. (Although, if you know me personally and think I'm talking about you, I probably am. <3)
I'm not sure if this is something that happens with everyone, just my age group, or only me. It's an observation I've made about people.
Sometimes, I like to engage in the masochistic activity known as "planning something." From hanging out with one person to planning a prestigious dinner party for colleagues, trying to organize an event can be an irritating process.
After you pick the date and start inviting people, I've noticed something interesting about how many people handle invitations. The people who know they can come, and the people who know they can't, are usually straightforward about it right away.
The "maybes" who realize they can't attend react differently. When the realization hits that they can't make it to the fancy cocktail party, they can do two things.
Right choice: Alert the host as soon as possible so they can plan accordingly.
What everyone does: Blocks off all communication, digs their way into the earth's core, and tries to hide.
If someone learns that they can't go, I might as well unfriend them on Facebook, delete their number from my phone, and not make direct eye contact.
They will screen all calls, texts, and carrier pigeons. They will travel to the ends of Antarctica, Peru, and Atlantis to avoid telling you they can't make it.
I think people find it difficult to say they can't (or don't want to) go, as it might make the host feel rejected. So, instead of dealing with them directly, I think they avoid the planner in the hopes that the situation dissipates on its own.
This can be really troublesome for the host-to-be. If s/he wants to know how much food to have or tell other people living there how many people to expect, it makes it hard when potential guests avoid RSVPing until the last minute, or at all, to avoid a preconceived awkward situation.
I react to this phenomenon by calling nonstop, trying to corner people in real life if I can, sending a million texts, and essentially being the world's most annoyingly persistent person. I'm not going to be offended if you can't swing by my shindig, but I will get a yes or no. If I have to go postal, Harry Potter style, I will.
Has anyone else noticed this?

CORVALLIS - Is anyone really surprised that it costs a lot to raise a child? Or that it is getting more expensive?
According to estimates by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a middle- income family (making $34,400 to $57,900 a year before taxes) in the urban West will spend $161,580 to raise a child born in 1996 to age 18.
The estimates are contained in "Expenditures on Children by Families," a report issued annually by the USDA.
The report provides estimates of expenditures on children from birth through age 17 for different geographic regions of the United States, urban and rural areas, and averages for the entire country, according to Alice Mills Morrow, Oregon State University Extension family resource specialist.
Child-raising costs in the urban West are higher than the rest of the country primarily because housing is more expensive. Thus, the average cost in the United States for a middle income family to raise a child born in 1996 to age 18 totaled an estimated $149,820.
The estimates include direct spending for housing, food, transportation, clothing, health care, child care and education, and miscellaneous expenses. They do not include costs related to pregnancy and childbirth or the indirect cost of lost earnings and career opportunities when one or both parents take time away from work to care for their children.
"Given the rising cost of a college education, it's important to note that these estimates only apply to costs from birth through age 18," Morrow said. "The cost of paying for college or for setting aside money for college through the years is not included in these estimates."
According to the USDA, expenditure estimates on children by husband-wife families do not apply to single-parent families - a group that is increasing every year. The USDA prepared separate estimates for these households.
The estimates show that a single parent family with an income less than $34,700 before taxes will spend $104,400 to raise a child born in 1996 to age 18. The two-parent counterpart will spend $110,040.
The difference in spending between single- and two-parent families is attributed to differences in income, according to Morrow.
"The average income for single-parent families in the survey was $14,500 compared with $21,600 for husband-wife families," she said. "So single-parent families spend a much larger percentage of their income on their children."
Because the USDA estimates are based on averages, they are not useful in predicting what a particular family will spend. However, they do illustrate useful trends. For instance, the cost of raising a child increases as a child gets older, a signal for parents to continually find ways to add to their income.
"That's probably not good news for parents who are shocked at the cost of day care for their pre-school children," Morrow said. "Unfortunately, the savings in child care as youngsters grow older is more than offset by increases in other expense categories."
The USDA estimates are put to a variety of uses. Divorce attorneys and mediators employ them to provide a reality check for parents who think child support guidelines are unrealistic.
The estimates are also useful in estate planning to evaluate financial needs in the event of a parent's sudden death. And teachers use the estimates to help students understand the financial changes that accompany parenthood.
To receive a copy of the 1996 estimates of raising a child, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Morrow at OSU, 161 Milam Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331-5106.

Android News
Titanium clad Coolpad N930 to be released in China, rest of the world?
September 29, 2010 | by Lars Aronsson
Android News, Android Phones
It's unclear whether this quite handsome, titanium clad unit ever will be released outside the realms of China, but judging from the English menus seen in the photos, it just might be. The N930 is Coolpad's first attempt at manufacturing a phone running Google's OS, and the company has equipped its first-born Android with ceramic buttons, a titanium body and a 3.5-inch capacitive ASV LCD touchscreen with a WVGA (480×800) resolution. It's powered by the 1GHz processor that has been more or less standard for high-end Android phones this year. The Coolpad N930 is running Android 2.1, and will later get upgraded to 2.2 Froyo.
The device seems to be featuring a custom Android interface, and if the dots just above the launcher dock are indicating which homescreen you're currently on, there are 12 of them. In one of the pictures the notification bar appears to be fully transparent, and in the two other shots the bar has more of a Sense look to it.
One Engadget commenter pointed out that the interface seems reminiscent of the TAT UI, from Swedish design crew The Astonishing Tribe. The company has introduced a whole bunch of interesting Android solutions and it's actually responsible for some of the most iconic Android features, such as the window shade, the analog clock widget and the pattern lock screen. However, if TAT UI had managed to find its way to an actual device, we should have heard of it.
If the Coolpad N930 tickles your fancy, more information about the phone will be revealed at the P&T / Expo Comm China in Beijing in October.

I am normally not much of a morning person. But recently, peering out the bedroom a few minutes before sunrise, I notice a few clouds hanging out on the eastern horizon. "This may be something special." I say to myself. "Do you want to make the effort?" I did and it was well worth it. Saint James City Sunrise is the result of five bracketed shots processed in Photomatix Pro and re-imported into Lightroom for a little final tweaking. By compositing five bracketed exposures the resulting image has a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas than would otherwise be possible. And because of the dynamic range increase, the final image is often more dramatic.
Please let me know what you think.

When the grievance committee, led by a Copé associate, declared Copé the winner again, Fillon demanded a re-vote; Copé dug in.
Then, never had he been approached by a grievance committee.
Now the grievance committee came with an ultimatum to the management.
But the grievance committee never saw them, for Gordon locked the papers in his safe and spoke no word.
It has stood the test of years and if the old method were resumed a grievance committee would probably wait on the management.
It was thus no small shock when Wickes announced one day that a grievance committee wished to interview him.


text: From: firstname.lastname@example.com (Alan Cox) Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 01:56:30 +0000 (GMT) For the kernel you can write one. Go ahead. Its not trivial. Consider the real cases where fixes had to be done. How do you back compatibly fix a 70K packet size into a 16bit length field ? The cases where its trivial are ones it shouldnt have occured. Such as the time when we reordered structure elements during the Linux2.0 release? To an outside developer, "we reordered the structure order to makethings a little faster because of cache alignment" sounds suspiciouslylike the lame excuses Microsoft gives for making technical changes thatbreak competitors' code. Sure, they claim that they're doing it for"technical reasons", but everyone knows they did it to screw theircompetition, even if the DOJ has trouble proving it. Let's not stoop tothat level, shall we?Stepping back to the bigger picture, the point I hope is clear. We needto be much more careful during the 2.2 series to minimize interfacechanges as much as possible. This includes device driver authors, whoneed to make sure they don't disturb ioctl interfaces. (When I designmy ioctl interfaces, I include padding structure elements so that I canlater add new fields to the structure without changing the structuresize. This isn't hard; it just requires a little extra forethought.)I believe it should include trying to stablize the binary kernel moduleinterface as well; I personally believe this interface doesn't have tobe as stable, but every other 2.2 release shouldn't be gratuitouslybreaking the binary module interface. For user space glibc should be compatible. The LSB standards base project is also a _binary_ standard. It documents API behaviour but for binary compatibility. Glibc also split from the kernel headers to keep stability.The LSB standards base product is a good start, but we kernel developershave to do our part, too. This means doing things like planning aheadwith structure sizes, using new ioctl numbers to provide compatibilitywhen we *do* need to change the structure sizes, and so on. If you want to make this work even better run a lot of 2.0 binaries on 2.2, check they all still work. If not find out why. Similarly people should be trying stuff like glibc 2.1 pre-releases with all their old binaries. Nothing should break, if it does report it.Well, note that we have an problem soon to face us when glibc 2.1 getsreleased, since they changed the FILE structure. While symbolversioning helps to solve this problem somewhat, it doesn't help if theAPI's for shared libraries include FILE pointers, since the symbolversioning won't catch this case. This may mean that we as the Linuxcommunity might want to decide to defer taking glibc 2.1 until somecarefully planned time, since it will probably require bumping the majorversion numbers of some (perhaps non-trivial) number of sharedlibraries.These sorts of things are important. Everyone in the Linux community--- glibc developers, kernel developer, Linux distribution maintainers,application developers --- needs to do their part; it's not just someoneelse's problem. - Ted-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

OK, folks-this is the general forum now for questions that don't seem to fit in any of the other threads. I'm going to sort some of the earlier posts into the appropriate forums, but it might take a while, so bear with me. I'll delete the ones that have already been reposted by their authors.
I think he has another very nice scimitar to use when he fights two-sword with Nightshade. But I also think he can do it with straight swords, and he has a very nice one, and another almost as nice to pair it with.
Technical question, as I know nothing about fighting: Can you fight two-bladed if you have a scimitar and a straight sword?
He got another earring. He still has the pierced ear in CMC, though I've never mentioned it.
Hooo... That made my heart skip for a beat, for some reason. And I don't even like earrings on men! But picturing this noble N·men¾rean Prince with an earring just has something... *yummy*...
Good luck with your story, Isabeau! And please be assured, I certainly don't expect quick answers to my questions, or even answers to all my questions - RL comes first, then come your stories, and somewhere trailing behind these discussions here *g*! Like I said, I see this board as a possibilty to meet and discuss things with other readers, as well.

Indonesian Funds Dump Stocks Tumbling Most Amid Global Rally
Indonesia's biggest mutual funds are liquidating stocks traded in Jakarta as local interest rates rise and growth slows, sending the nation's benchmark equity index to the biggest drop among major markets this quarter.
Equity funds managed by local units of Schroders Plc (SDR), Manulife Asset Management and PT Bank Mandiri raised their average cash holdings to 12.8 percent at the end of August from 10.3 percent in June and 6.9 percent in March, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The Jakarta Composite Index's (JCI) 8 percent drop this quarter left it valued at 18 times reported earnings, a 56 percent premium over the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
Indonesian policy makers raised borrowing costs four times since June, sacrificing economic growth to help stem the fastest inflation since 2009 and the rupiah's slide to a four-year low. While PT Danareksa Sekuritas says higher cash holdings is a contrarian indicator that stocks in Southeast Asia's largest economy will rally, PT Nomura Indonesia says it shows investors with the most at stake are bracing for more losses.
"Businesses in Indonesia are facing a number of challenges, from rising costs to interest rates and now the weaker rupiah,"Jeffrosenberg Tan, a money manager at PT Sinarmas Asset Management, which oversees about $600 million, said by phone from Jakarta. "I'm happy with my cash holdings."
The Jakarta gauge rose 0.7 percent at 11:30 a.m. local time, bound for steepest rise since Sept. 19, led by gains in PT Astra International which rose 1.6 percent and a 5.4 percent jump in PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur.
Biggest Loser
PT Gudang Garam (GGRM), a Kediri-based tobacco company, and PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia, a producer of animal feed, led the Jakarta index to the biggest decline among benchmark equity gauges in the world's 25 biggest equity markets since June, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The benchmark measure for Indonesia's $385 billion equity market is heading for its biggest quarterly drop in two years.
The MSCI All-Country World Index has increased 8.2 percent since June, while China's Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) rose 8.9 percent and Brazil's Ibovespa climbed 14 percent. Russia's Micex gained 11 percent and India's S&P BSE Sensex added 2.6 percent.
Cash figures at the end of August were compiled from fact sheets for the largest equity mutual funds at Mandiri, Schroders and Manulife, which are all based in Jakarta. The 10 funds, which have total assets of about $2.5 billion, are required to invest at least 80 percent of their holdings in stocks.
Mandiri, which oversees about $1.7 billion firmwide, will keep cash holdings at about 10 percent even after the U.S. Federal Reserve's surprise decision to maintain monetary stimulus on Sept. 18 fueled a 4.8 percent gain in the Jakarta gauge last week, according to Chief Investment Officer Priyo Santoso.
Deficit Concern
While Schroders may trim its cash "a bit," the firm isn't fully invested in stocks, Michael Tjoajadi, the chief executive officer at PT Schroders Indonesia, which oversees about $4.4 billion, said by phone on Sept. 23. Alvin Pattisahusiwa, director of investment at PT Manulife Aset Manajemen Indonesia, which oversees about $3.8 billion, declined to comment.
"There will be an emerging-market rally following the euphoria through maybe the end of the month, but after that investors will look at the fundamentals again," Santoso said by phone from Jakarta on Sept. 20. "For Indonesia, the issue is still the current-account deficit."
The current-account gap in Indonesia swelled to a record $9.8 billion, or about 4.4 percent of gross domestic product, in the second quarter, Bank Indonesia data showed on Aug. 16. That compares with an estimated surplus of about 1 percent of GDP for emerging markets as a group this year, according to the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
Foreign Outflows
The rupiah has depreciated more than 13 percent against the dollar this quarter, the worst performance among 23 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg, as foreign-exchange reserves fell to the lowest level in almost three years in July.
International investors sold a net $714 million of Indonesian shares this quarter, compared with $107 million of inflows into India and $9.6 billion into South Korea, according to exchange data compiled by Bloomberg.
Indonesia's equity gauge is valued at an 8 percent premium versus India's Sensex and is 18 percent more expensive than South Korea's Kospi gauge, which trades at 15 times reported earnings.
Higher cash holdings suggest reduced selling pressure in the stock market, which is a bullish signal, according to Chandra Pasaribu, the head of equity research at Danareksa.
"Now is a good time to be opportunistic and look for value," Pasaribu said by phone from Jakarta on Sept. 18.
Fed Rally
Indonesia's equity index advanced 4.7 percent on Sept. 19 after the Fed said it will maintain $85 billion of monthly debt purchases. The Jakarta gauge has climbed 11 percent from this year's low on Aug. 27 and is up 286 percent since the U.S. central bank began its first round of bond-buying in 2008.
Fed stimulus isn't enough to solve Indonesia's economic challenges, Mark Konyn, the Hong Kong-based chief executive officer of Cathay Conning Asset Management, said in a Sept. 19 interview on Bloomberg Television.
The weaker rupiah and rising fuel prices pushed inflation to 8.79 percent last month, the highest level since January 2009. The central bank has raised its benchmark interest rate by 1.5 percentage points to 7.25 percent since June, even as the nation's economic growth decelerated for a fourth-straight quarter to 5.8 percent, the weakest pace in almost three years.
"Cash is your best defense," said Wilianto Ie, the head of equity research and strategy at Nomura in Jakarta. "Fund managers normally do this when they face uncertainties in the market or they think that a crisis is coming."
Indonesian markets may become vulnerable when the Fed begins paring its stimulus, said Schroders' Tjoajadi. Policy makers may make a "small" cut to bond purchases in October, Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said in a Sept. 20 interview on Bloomberg Television.
"Tapering will happen, that's a certainty," Tjoajadi said. "There will be consequences to the financial markets. So now it's about how can we minimize the impact."

Witnesses to Murder in Catholic Indian schools to Protest at the Vatican, Testify before Italian Parliamentarians
Breaking News:
Rome, Thursday, March 25, 2010
Aboriginal elders from Canada will offer prayers for their friends and relatives who died or were killed in Catholic Indian residential schools, at the institution in Rome responsible for their death. And they will name Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, as the one ultimately responsible.
Lillian Shirt of the Cree Nation and Charles Cook of the Anishinabe-Ojibway Nation will gather with Rev. Kevin Annett and other members of The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD) and Italian supporters at a memorial service outside the Vatican in St. Peter's Square on Easter morning, Sunday April 4 at 11 am.
Both of the native elders survived incarceration in Catholic Indian schools in Canada, and witnessed the deaths of other students.
Declaration of the FRD Delegation (Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared) concerning their purpose and goals while in Italy and Europe
March 26, 2010
The four of us have been authorized by survivors of the murderous Catholic and Protestant Indian residential schools in Canada, and the elders of the FRD, to come to Europe and to Italy to achieve the following:
1. Share the truth of the deliberate genocide planned and carried out by Christian churches, in alliance with the government of Canada, against generations of native people, causing the deaths of more than 50,000 children.
2. Confront the Vatican and Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, for their church's primary role, through the Jesuits and other groups, in creating these "schools" as part of a centuries old plan to conquer and destroy all non-Christian people.
3. Demand from the Vatican officaldom and the Pope that they:
a) assume full public responsibility for the residential school crimes, including the deaths of children
b) revoke the papal bulls known as Romanus Pontifex (1455) and Inter Catera (1493), which legally sanctioned this genocide
c) identify and repatriate the remains of all children who died in Catholic Indian residential schools across Canada, for a proper burial
d) surrender those responsible or implicated in these deaths, and in residential school crimes, along with all evidence related to these crimes held by the Catholic church
e) appear before a public, international Tribunal of inquiry into these crimes, and
f) revoke the policy of the Catholic church to deny and conceal the on-going abuse of children by priests and other church offcers.
4. Present evidence of the Canadian genocide to the Italian media, public and to parliamentarians in the Chamber of Deputies, and ask the latter to endorse an international inquiry into crimes of Genocide by church and state in Canada
We are aware that justice has eluded survivors of abuse and genocide at the hands of the church because the latter conceives itself and operates as a law unto itself, and absolved of any liability for the crimes of its clergy and members. We believe that until this situation is changed, and the Roman Catholic and other churches face criminal charges for their wrongs, the crimes we have experienced and documented will continue.
We therefore urge people to urge the government of Italy to make the Pope and his church answerable to the law and liable, morally and legally, for their crimes against the innocent, both in the past and the present.
We also invite you to join with us to compel the Pope to answer the charge of genocide brought against him and his church, and support our demands on him and all churches responsible for these crimes.
In that spirit, we invite you to join us at St. Peter's square in Rome on Easter morning, Sunday April 4, at 11 am, for a public memorial service for the missing residential school children.
Help us to bring the murdered residential school children home. In their name, we thank you,
The FRD delegation

Blood on the Maple Leaf – Recent killings linked to Canadian Nickel Mine in Guatemala
|Written by Dawn Paley
|Thursday, 01 October 2009
|Source: The Dominion
Two Qeqchi leaders were shot and killed and over a dozen wounded this week near the site of a shuttered nickel mine in Guatemala.
The first shooting took place on Sunday, September 27 on land claimed by the community of Las Nubes, which Compañia Guatemalteca de Niquel (CGN), a subsidiary of Manitoba's HudBay Minerals, also claims to own.
Early reports indicated CGN's private security guards opened fire while attempting to remove families from their land. Adolfo Ichi Chamán, a teacher and community leader, was killed by gunshot, at least eight more wounded by bullets fired from an AK-47.
Prensa Libre, Guatemala's leading newspaper, reported that during Chamán's funeral service yesterday, thousands of people marched through the streets of El Estor, demanding that the company and the local police chief withdraw from the area within 24 hours.
HudBay released a lengthy statement yesterday claiming that there were no evictions, but instead that "protestors" went on a rampage, attacking government vehicles, a local police station (where they allegedly stole automatic weapons), destroying a hospital built by a coalition of US NGOs, and wounding five employees.
Hudbay goes on to make the absurd claim that the protesters proceeded to open fire on each other.
Liezel Hill of Mining Weekly went on to parrot the company's version of events, as did the Canadian Press and Reuters.
One day after the murder of Chamán, men armed with machine guns opened fire on a mini-bus carrying Indigenous educators and leaders from the El Estor region to Cobán. One man, Martin Choc, was killed, and at least nine more wounded.
These killings are a flare up in a tense area, where the track record of Canadian mining companies includes forced displacement over multiple generations, co-operation with the army, and the burning of homes belonging to Indigenous people.
Shortly after a series of violent evictions that took place on nearby lands in 2007, Skye Resources (later acquired by Hudbay) representatives went on the record and lied through their teeth to defend their actions.
The English-language corporate media has repeatedly turned a blind eye to recent and past events unfolding in El Estor. This kind of reporting facilitates corporate lies and deceit, plain and simple.
Lies and deceit are just what HudBay needs, not only to avoid an international outcry over the recent killings, but also to spin a mining project that is not likely to produce any nickel at all.
The Mask Slips, for Those with Eyes to See: Preparing for the Real Pandemic
by Kevin D. Annett, M.A., M.Div.
Last week, many of the aboriginal people in the remote west coast village of Ahousaht were innoculated with the tamiflu vaccine. Today, over a hundred of them are sick, and the sickness is spreading.
In the same week, body bags were sent to similarly remote native reserves in northern Manitoba that have also received the tamiflu vaccine.
On the face of things, it appears that flu vaccinations are causing a sickness that is being deliberately aimed at aboriginal people across Canada, and this sickness will be fatal: a fact acknowledged by the Canadian government by their "routine" sending of body bags to these Indian villages.
Before you express your shock and denial at the idea that people are being racially targeted and killed, remember that murdering Indians with vaccinations is not a new or abnormal thing in Canada. Indeed, it's how we Europeans "won the land", and it's one of the ways we keep it.
In 1862, Anglican church missionaries Rev. John Sheepshanks and Robert Brown inoculated interior Salish Indians in B.C. with a live smallpox virus that wiped out entire native communities within a month, just prior to the settlement of this native land by gold prospectors associated with these missionaries and government officials.
In 1909, Dr. Peter Bryce of the Indian Affairs department in Ottawa claimed that Catholic and Protestant churches were deliberately exposing native children to smallpox and tuberculosis in residential schools across Canada, and letting them die untreated. Thousands of children died as a result. (Globe and Mail, April 24, 2007)
In 1932, B.C. provincial police attempted to lay charges against Catholic missionaries who had sent smallpox-laden Indian children back among their families along the Fraser river near Mission, BC. The RCMP intervened and protected the church, even though whole villages were wiped out as a result of the church's actions.
In 1969, native children who escaped from the Nanaimo Indian Hospital on Vancouver Island described being inoculated with shots that caused many of them to die "with bloated up bodies and scabs all over", to quote one survivor.
Knowing this history, it's not surprising when Indians on isolated Canadian reserves start sickening and dying en masse from sudden illnesses, after receiving flu shots. After all, it's still the law in Canada, under the apartheid Indian Act, that no on-reserve Indian can refuse medical treatments or experimentation. So it's small wonder that these reserves are the places being targeted first to be injected with untested, unsafe and potentially lethal flu vaccines.
As an entire race of involuntary test subjects, Indians in Canada are a weather vane for what will befall all of us, and very soon. For the very techniques and weapons of genocide perfected against aboriginal people are now being deployed against "mainstream" Canadians.
Under Bill C-6, which is about to pass third reading in Parliament and become the law, no Canadian will be allowed to refuse inoculations for the swine flu, despite the fact that it is relatively benign and mild, and has killed only people who are already immune-compromised. Indeed, it is astounding that such coercion and dictatorial laws are being employed to deal with what the chief Canadian Health Officer has called a "mild seasonal flu".
Clearly, another agenda is at work; but the time to ascertain and challenge that agenda has all but run out. This coming month, forced inoculations and imprisonment of those who refuse them may be a reality across Canada. And for what reason? Clearly, not for public health, considering the sickness and death caused by previous swine flu vaccines.
I believe that the real pandemic is about to be unleashed through the very vaccines being pushed by governments and pharmaceutical giants like Novartis and Glaxo Smith Kline. The shots will be the cause, not the cure, of the pandemic. Of course, those in power can disprove this by simply being the first people to take the swine flu shot: an event about as likely as these companies forgoing the multi-billion dollar profits they will reap from the mass vaccinations.
It's indeed ironic that, very soon, many "white" Canadians may be suffering the same fate that aboriginal people have for centuries. Perhaps it's fitting. For if we are indeed being targeted for extermination, or at the least martial law and dictatorship, we finally can have the chance to shed our complicity in the genocide of other people, and get on the right side of humanity – simply by having to fight the system that is causing mass murder.

H1N1 "Assistance" – Canada Gives Indigenous Communities Swine Flu Body Bags
Chief Jerry Knott of Wasagamack First Nation:
"This disturbed our community members and continues to be a major concern. We had asked for funding so we can get organized and to ensure medicines, hand sanitizers and other preventative kits were in place but, instead, we are shocked to receive the body bags," he said. "To me, this is unacceptable and I am demanding an answer."
"Is the body bags a statement from Canada that we as First Nations are on our own?"
Aboriginal leaders in Manitoba are horrified that some of the reserves hardest hit by swine flu in the spring have received dozens of body bags from Health Canada.
'Don't send us body bags. Help us organize; send us medicine." Said Grand Chief David Harper, who represents northern First Nations.
"It really makes me wonder if health officials know something we don't," Said Grand Chief David Harper, who represents northern First Nations. "I have a right to speak for my people. I make a plea to the people of Canada to work with us to ensure the lowest fatalities from this monster virus. Don't send us body bags. Help us organize; send us medicine."
–WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) – The Canadian government sent body bags to some remote Indian reserves as it prepared for the winter flu season, sending a jarring message at odds with its promise that it's ready for the H1N1 flu.
The body bags went to some reserves in Manitoba, the western province in which some remote Indian communities were hard-hit by the flu in the spring, Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said on Wednesday.
"It is very disturbing," Aglukkaq told reporters on a conference call. "It's a serious issue and it's very concerning to me."
Aglukkaq said she didn't have details of the body-bag shipments and has ordered officials to investigate.
At least four Manitoba reserves received body bags from Canada's health department in shipments that also included supplies like masks and hand sanitizer, the Winnipeg Free Press said.
"This says to me they've given up," the newspaper quoted Chief David Harper of Northern Manitoba's Garden Hill reserve, which received some of the body bags, as saying.
Sending body bags is "a totally unnecessary thing," said chief public health officer Dr. David Butler-Jones.
Canada, a country of 33.6 million people, has ordered 50.4 million doses of vaccine and plans to begin immunizations in November. If Canada doesn't need all its order, it will leave some vaccines available for other countries, Butler-Jones said.
Government officials aim to first distribute H1N1 vaccine to pregnant women, people living in remote communities, people with chronic health conditions and health-care workers.
"The whole population can be immunized very quickly," Butler-Jones said.
The flu, now a worldwide pandemic, has killed 76 people in Canada.
Welcome to the Rez – #1
The Government of the United States has a long, well document His-Story of lying to the American Indians and violating its Treaties with us. This genocidal colonialism has directly led to the inhumane and tragic living conditions on this, and most Indian Reservations.
"They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised not to take our land, and they did." – Mahpiua Luta "Red Cloud" Oglala Lakotah
Now, it is clearly evident that our Government is using even more refined tactics of Orwellian propaganda to hypnotize ALL Americans into endorsing it's hegemony of the World:
- Homeland security is the new, expanded, version of the B.I.A.: Just last night, we see that the ABC network is promoting a new show, "Homeland Security USA," Every day the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security patrol more than 100,000 miles of America's borders. This territory includes airports, seaports, land borders, international mail centers, the open seas, mountains, deserts and even cyberspace (and remember anytown U.S.A. too!) . Now viewers will get an unprecedented look at the work of these men and women while they use the newest technology to safeguard our country and enforce our laws, in "Homeland Security USA," … This strategy of brainwashing the public and glorifying the violence that our Government foments is apparent in the comments of one of this shows new fans, "I think America needs to be educated in how hard our Homeland Security officers work everyday to protect THEM! They do risk their lives every moment. I do think a few things in the show were a bit ridiculous but then again I'm hoping that they will learn from their mistakes and improve the show. Also if you have ever seen Australia's reality show about their Homeland security you will see how interesting and exciting they can make it." (emphasis added)
- A Nation of Laws?: How many times have we heard this rhetoric about the U.S. being a nation of laws? Just as the Indian's have been denied their sovereign rights, the Government, through the 'Patriot Act' and other legislation, is dramatically eroding the sovereign rights of ALL Americans. Beware the erosion, nay extinction, of the Posse Comitatus Act.
- History of Government misconduct in the Court room (Sacrosanct?) During the Wounded Knee trial in 1973, the court supplemented its oral ruling with a written decision on October 9, 1974, finding governmental misconduct due to:
(1) The prosecutor's deliberate or at least negligent conduct in offering and failing to correct the "obviously false" testimony of Government witness Louis Moves Camp (concocted by the F.B.I.);(2) The prosecutor's "intentional deception" of the court with respect to an alleged rape incident involving the witness Louis Moves Camp;(3) The prosecutor's "grossly negligent conduct," if not "deliberate deception," in offering the testimony of Government witness Alexander David Richards when that testimony was directly contradicted in a previously transcribed interview;(4) The prosecutor's having been "either deliberately or negligently dilatory" in searching for information detailing the extent of military involvement at Wounded Knee and Government "cover up" of the extent of that involvement;
- He DID Promise Change: (VIEW THE VIDEO BY RUSSELL MEANS) Lastly, we must again address, Prez Obama's pick for Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. We maintain that this choice is not a new one, but part of a larger plan to 'change' the government from one run by neo-cons to one run by zionists. Rahm Israel Emanuel (Hebrew: ?? ???????) was born in Chicago, Illinois. His first name, Rahm, means "high" or "lofty" in Hebrew, while his last name, Emanuel, means "God is with us." According to his father, his son is the namesake of Rahamim, a Lehi combatant who was killed. Rahm
Where is the Constitution ?
Where is the Constitution? Where is the Law? What will happen to us in the coming months and years? Legislation Eroding Your Civil Rights!
A note from Russell: Albert Einsteins definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Anyone capable of critical thinking has known for some time that at least since 1948 America is being raped by the DemoPublicans for the purpose of profiteering and control. This is clearly evident by this Country's intentional transformation from a productive, producing Nation to a greed-based "consumer" mentality! Through mass psychological manipulation via the media and the government takeover of the schools, American Citizens have become nothing more than lemmings following the Pied Piper, e.g. the U.S. GOVERNMENT, totally forgetting there responsibilities as free, sovereign individuals. Always remember the axiom, "Freedom means you are free to be responsible!"
Ward Churchill has written a book entitled, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, where he uses U.S. government documents to dispel the two public relations claims of the government, which are that; 1) America is a nation of laws, and 2) America is a peace loving nation. In this book he proves that America has been at war every year of its existence and, since 1946, has violated U.S. Constitutional and International Laws each and every year.
1. Posse Comitatus Act Eliminated
The Act was a response to, and subsequent prohibition of, the military occupation by U.S. Army troops of the former Confederate States during the ten years of Reconstruction (1867
