Coming of Age Ch. 01byRhapsodyXxX©
Renna wasn't sure exactly when the changes started taking place. She had first noticed the changes in her self one morning as she sat gazing at the reflection of the blue Az'Reylin sky in the still, undisturbed surface of the pond close to her home. The transparent paper thin wings she had on her back since birth looked....well, bigger somehow. She knew from having seen others of her race during occasional trips to market that full grown, functional wings was a sign of maturity for her race, but had never really given it much thought. All through her childhood, the wings hadn't really done much, except flutter ineffectually against her shoulder blades whenever she got excited or angry. At the time she had stood looking at her reflection in the clear pool for several minutes before writing it off as a figment of her imagination, or a ripple in the water she had not noticed making them appear to have grown.
Renna had been orphaned at a young age during an Ashtarian attack on the small village where her parents had been living. The attack had claimed the lives of both her parent and all three of her brothers and sisters when their house had caught fire during the raid, and collapsed in on the sleeping family. By some miracle her life had been spared when one of their neighbors, a gentle Sadidan woman named Myrma, had seen the blaze and followed the sound of Renna's cries of distress to her cradle on the bottom floor and pulled her from the blistering inferno just as the structure collapsed. Renna had been too young to remember any of it, but Myrma would often smile as she talked about the angry little toddler she had pulled from the fire, that had fit perfectly into the palm of her hand.
Under the tender guidance of the sadi woman, Renna had grown quickly, from a curious toddler, to a rambunctious child, to an adolescent with lots of questions about what it was that made her so different from Myrma herself. The woman who had raised her as her own had finally told her the story one morning when Renna had asked why she was so much smaller than all the other Sadidans in the secluded forest village. It had been then that Myrma had pulled down an old leather bound book and dusted it off, opening it to reveal vividly drawn pictures of the different races that inhabited their lands. She had pointed to a picture of a tall muscular man and woman in forest garb with long hair that looked a lot like the people in their village and explained that they were Sadidans, and then flipping a few pages had shown her another picture, of small people with slender frames and sharp features, and wings coming off their shoulders. Renna remembered how her eyes had gone to the sharply pointed ears in the picture as her fingers had traced their way up to the sharp points of her own ears.
"The reason dear child you do not look like a Sadida, is because you are not supposed to."
That morning had been the first morning she had ever heard the word 'Eniripsa' and the degree of separation she had felt from her home and all she had know for the last two decades had been staggering. She had millions of questions about eniripsas, or 'Eenees' as Myrma had called them, but her guardian, having lived in the sheltering seclusion of the village most of her life, had been unable to tell her anything other than when she had finally grown up to be a mature eni, she would get her wings in.
Pushing the three year old memories into the back of her mind, she had turned once more to look at her back in the reflective water and stretching the short immature wings out as far as her unformed muscles would allow her to, decided that they were still the same as they had been yesterday. She didn't pay the wings any more attention till three nights later when a dull ache in the ridges of them left her feeling ill and unmotivated. After a good hour of picking at her dinner and leaving it untouched, Myrma had asked her what was troubling her, and when Renna had told her, Myrma had grabbed her spectacles and pulled her into the light to take a better look at her wings.
"Well my dear, you will be happy to know you are fine, the reason you are in discomfort is because you are having growing pains, your big eni wings are finally growing in!" at this Renna had about leaped out of her skin, unable to contain her excitement, her wings had started beating almost with a mind of their own, fanning them both with a gust of air and blowing several flax and hemp flowers to the floor. Myrma had simply laughed and chased her outside for some fresh air as she picked up the flowers.
As the week continued she was seeing a marked difference every morning in the size of her wings. Where they had been rumpled and formless before, they now had a thick ridge of hard material extending along the length of the top and she could see small blood vessels in the thin tissues in between the shape holding spines. Her muscles developed along with the rest and by the end of the week, her new wings were full sized and beginning to take on the same rosy shade of pink as the hair on her head, and she was strong enough to fly for short bursts, up to 5 minutes at a time.
It wasn't until the end of the second week she began to notice other changes. She had been practicing flying as often as she could get away with it and by now was able to stay in the air for several minutes before needing to land and recoup. It was one such time when she was landing for a rest, closing her wings against her back as she had always done when she noticed something else about her new wings. As one rubbed the other, an incredible sensation shot up the length of the ridges and into her shoulders making her gasp with surprise. Stretching them back out again, she repeated the process, this time more deliberately, the friction between the wing segments causing a small chirp and the vibrations from the small sound was almost enough to drop her to her knees as a small low sound of arousal escaped her lips. She looked around quickly to see if there was anyone around, but saw no one. She had roamed pretty far away from the village, tracing the trails back through the trees and out into the open fields where she could practice without the hindrance of trees or the speculation of curious onlookers.
Grinning wickedly to herself, she scanned till she located a small boulder and walked over and knelt in front of it. Taking one last glance around to see she was alone, she again opened her wings and rubbed them together rhythmically producing a pattern of cricket-like chirps. The vibrations travelled the length of the ridges in her wings and down her spine making her body ache in a way that had nothing to do with pain as a small moan escaped her. Closing her eyes and leaning her head forward she continued her 'song' for several minutes, completely surrendering to the pleasurable sensations sweeping through her body until a far off sound caught her attention and stopped her cold. She held her breath for a moment listening in the still morning air for the sound to repeat. When the sound DID repeat her mouth fell open in surprise... someone was chirping back at her....
No...that was impossible, she had travelled the areas around the village for a long way in every direction all throughout her youth and childhood, and the only place she had ever seen any others of her kind was on the two occasions when Myrma had taken her to Zalkania to shop in the multitude of stores there. Deciding it was probably a bird, she exhaled with a shaky laugh at how silly she was being, and rubbed her wings together a few more times for good measure, enjoying the full sweep of the feeling as her nerves tingled all the way to her toes.
Deciding she'd had enough and trying to clear her fogged mind, she stood up and was about to fly away when a rush of wind and much lower but still distinctive chirp sounded from just behind her and she felt a gentle hand stroke the top of her wing from its attached point at her shoulder blade all the way to the fragile tip before withdrawing. The gentle touch was enough to freeze her dead in her tracks wings outstretched and draw in a sharp breath as a fire exploded through her already heated body. Any and all thoughts of fleeing banished from her mind, she turned curiously to see who was chirping back at her.
The very first thing her eyes landed on were a glossy pair of black wings that looked very different from her own pale pink transparent ones. Where hers resembled a butterfly's wings, his were shaped with sharp looking spines covered in a shiny black webbing of thick skin. As she stood there staring at him, he flexed the tips of his wings again emitting the low chirp, sending a rush of sensation through her. Looking for the first time into his eyes she saw the same fiery heat burning in his eyes she was feeling, and moving only the tips of her wings this time, chirped back. The effect it had on him was obvious even to her inexperienced eyes. His eyes fluttered closed for a moment and he drew a sudden breath, the lean muscles of his torso tightening then relaxing under the open front of the black vest he wore as he swayed slightly on his feet. When he opened his dark glittering eyes again, they bored into hers with a look of pure desire. He was watching her closely and appeared to be waiting for something. A combination of curiosity and instinct made her extend her arm, her eyes fixated on the nearly black wings that glittered in the early morning sunshine.
As her hand drew closer to his extended wing, she heard him draw in a breath and hold it, and paused for a moment as she noticed he was trembling slightly. Then, following his lead, she gently ran her fingertips from the base where it attached to his shoulder blade up to the pointed tip, hearing him release the breath he had been holding in a low groan that ended in a small growl.
With no more hesitation he took a single step forward closing the distance between them as he wrapped one of his lean, muscled arms around her waist and the other around her ribcage. Using the palm of his hand, he put pressure on the center of her back in between her twitching wings and pulled her body tightly to his, the skimpy bikini style garments she wore doing nothing to lessen the sensation of the heat coming off of his body as the bare skin of her belly connected with his. Leaning his face in, he brushed his lips gently against hers, claiming her mouth in a deep kiss as her lips opened slightly in submission, a small sigh escaping between them. Finding no resistance, he slipped his tongue between her parted lips and brushed hers with it before pulling his mouth away and leaving her senses reeling. She locked her arms behind his neck, recapturing his lips with her own as she stepped closer to him, pressing her body even tighter against his, feeling his excitement pressed hard and hot against her belly and feeling her own body grow hotter in anticipation.
She felt his hand move from the small of her back lower to cup one of her ass cheeks as he moved his hips against her and the other hand released the clasp on the back of her top. He slid the palm of his hand up her back to her shoulder, sliding the strap down her arm and planting soft feathery kisses along the side of her neck and across her collarbone before biting her lightly on the shoulder and drawing a small whimper of excitement from her parted lips. Using the other hand, he repeated the process on her other shoulder, tossing her top to the ground as he leaned back to survey his handy-work. She could feel her face flush under his intense scrutiny, suddenly self conscious of her small breasts that had never held a candle to the well endowed sadidan women in her village. She started to draw her arms in to cover herself from his dark, glittering eyes, but he stopped her, running the backs of his hands lightly along the inside of her arms and smiling at her.
"Don't be shy," he murmured, "you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen....don't hide..."
She began to speak, wanted to tell him she had never done this before, but before she had the chance to utter a single word, he silenced her, stroking her bottom lip gently with the pad of his thumb before twining his fingers loosely through her hair to rest at the nape of her neck and leaning in with his lips barely an inch from her pointed ear.
"And don't be scared," he whispered, "a more gentle lover you will never know." He ran the tip of his tongue up the ridge of her ear, his hot breath and the feel of his tongue causing goose bumps to jump up on her arms. Then he surprised her by putting slight pressure on the back of her shoulder to show her he wanted her to turn around and moving to stand behind her. She did as he wanted, his words calming her skittish mind, missing his warmth as her over stimulated body was exposed to the air.
The next thing she felt was his hand at her waist, sliding around to her belly, fingers splayed as he stepped closer between her wings, then using his other hand, he ran his palm across the flat surface of one of her wings, causing her to gasp in surprise and utter a low moan as her legs gave out beneath her. As if expecting this reaction, he stopped her fall easily, lowering her down to the ground on to her hands and knees and kneeling behind her. He moved his hand up her stomach to cup one of her small breasts as he nudged her legs wider apart so he could kneel between them and move up behind her. As his thighs grazed the backs of her legs she realized he had taken his pants and vest off sometime after she had turned around. She felt him trail kisses along the tops of her shoulders and up the nape of her neck as his he gently pinched her nipple between his thumb and index finger, bringing it to instant attention as it tightened beneath his touch. He gave the other one similar attention till it was in the same state, leaving her biting her lower lip to hold back a moan of pure pleasure. He was rocking his hips against her and she could feel his hardness rubbing her through the thin material of her bottoms, and there was no holding back her moans of longing as his mouth moved from her neck to her shoulders and he slowly licked across the base of one wing ridge then the other.
His hand moved away from her breast to slide down to her hip and around to her ass, slipping under the thin fabric between them to stroke her bare skin, sliding the bottoms down as his hand moved lower. She was trembling all over as she felt his fingers deftly spread her fleshy petals and gasped aloud as his finger tip penetrated her, but no sooner than he did, he withdrew it again and slid it forward finding her clit and rubbing it gently, his finger sliding easily over it, slick from her own wetness. She dropped her head, eyes closing tightly, a low sound coming from deep in her throat as the dull throbbing ache between her legs changed to a growing tension, her wings beating slightly in spite of her best efforts to hold still and not hit him with them. She heard him chuckle softly as he sat up a bit pulling his face a safer distance from her twitching wings. At the same time, he removed the pleasuring finger from her sensitive clit, using both hands to slide her bottoms over her butt and down her hips, shifting his weight and helping her out of them. She couldn't suppress a whimper of frustration and excitement as his hand left her, obediently lifting one leg then the other as he slid the bottoms down the length of her legs, freeing her from them.
Once she was free of her clothes she felt him get into position behind her again, then resting his hands lightly on her shoulder blades for moment, he slid his palms up the outside of both of her wings pushing them together, then using one hand, he firmly gripped them at the ridge about half way down pinning them, then pushing down slightly to fold them closed part way and make them easier to hang onto. She was near frantic by this point, squirming and whimpering beneath him, feeling feverish and impatient. He didn't leave her waiting long. She felt him grind against her with his hips, using his free hand to grip her hip for just a second before grabbing his shaft guiding himself between the wet petals around her opening, getting lined up and moistening the head for easier penetration. Then returning his hand to her hips, he rocked forward and entered her with one stroke. She let out a gasp followed by a startled squeak then winced slightly as her unused body stretched to accommodate his hard shaft. He went very still, all but his hand, which was stroking her belly gently to relax her. The slight discomfort she had felt as he entered her faded quickly as she started moving against him slightly. That seemed to be the cue he had been waiting for to continue, and he withdrew slowly pulling most of his length out of her before slipping slowly and fully back into her, hearing him groan softly and take a ragged breath.
The pace was slow at first gradually picking up speed as the tension in her built in her to a fever pitch, and she felt like she was on the edge of something wonderful but unknown.
"Please..." Renna whimpered, "please don't stop."
"I can't," he said, his voice strained and shaky, "not until you let me..."
She had no idea what he meant by this and didn't get a chance to contemplate on it as he bit her on the tips of her compressed wings, tearing a ragged cry from her throat as pleasure and pain collided driving her over the edge, the tension in her drawing her to the breaking point then exploding from her body in a blast of pure energy. As it hit she heard him cry out too, their voices intertwining in the morning air and startling birds from their hiding spots in the nearby brush. Feeling suddenly exhausted and replete, her arms no longer willing to support her, she dropped to her elbows as he gave a few more short thrusts and released her wings, nearly collapsing on top of her as the shuddering in his body subsided. He then lowered his head to her back, planting kisses along her spine as they both tried to catch their breath. After a few minutes had passed, he finally pulled out of her, falling heavily to the grass, looking a bit pale and as weak as she felt. Reaching over and grabbing her firmly by the wrist he pulled her closer to where he was leaning up against the boulder. She crawled slowly over to where he was and sat next to him, leaning into the protective curl of his arm. He stroked her face and nuzzled her cheek affectionately for a few moments before he started speaking.
"I wish you had told me it was your first time," he said, looking a bit embarrassed, "that was a bit clumsily done. I'm sorry if I hurt you...Are you okay?"
She wasn't really sure what he would have done differently, but nodded, her face flushing hotly at the memory of what had just happened. He then stood, the color of his skin looking more normal and started collecting his garments and handing her's to her as he dressed. She noticed a black Dreg claw around his neck on a skinny strip of leather than had been fashioned into a necklace of sorts. He pulled it off over his head, and then walked over to where she was just finishing fastening her top and placed it over her head and around her neck.
"My name is Raife by the way," he said," I have a hunting group waiting on me, or i would stay here with you. All you have to do to contact me is hold that claw and think of me, I'll hear you no matter where you are." With that he leaned in and brushed his lip against hers again, then flew off with a buzz of wings, yelling back to here before disappearing from sight,
"I'll see you tonight," Renna watched his retreating form with a wide range of mixed emotions. Wondering just what she had gotten herself into and what exactly had just happened. Taking a look at the position of the sun in the sky and knowing Myrma would worry if she wasn't back for lunch, she gave a buzz of her own and flew in the direction of home knowing somehow that this morning had changed everything, and nothing would ever be the same again...

So there I was, doing what I do best–namely, tossing out large chunks of my manuscript while my deadline looms–when my agent started sending out emails about promotional plans for THE BURNING SKY.
Lo and behold, we were suppose to reveal the cover this week. For some reason I thought that wouldn't happen for another month or so, but I have no objection at all to getting it done this week. 🙂
And now, without further ado, the cover.
I am completely biased and think the cover is absolutely stunning. Probably going to blow this up into a huge poster at some point and hang it on my wall. 🙂
And since we have the cover, why not a mini-excerpt to go with it?
But even as she assessed her new surroundings, she felt herself similarly appraised. This was not new. Ever since they first met, the prince had watched her intensely—after all, he believed her to be the means to his impossible ends. But since their exit from the Crucible, his gaze had seemed more . . . personal.
"What do you want now, Your Highness?"
He raised a brow. "I already have you. Should I want anything else?"
She pushed away her empty plate. "You have that scheming look in your eyes."
He turned the handle of his own coffee cup, from which he'd yet to take a sip. "That is terrible. I should only ever sport a condescending look. We never want to give the impression that I am capable of—or interested in—strategizing."
"You're fudging your answers, prince. I want the truth."
The corners of his lips turned up barely perceptibly. "I was thinking of how to best hold on to you, my dear Fairfax who would leave me at the first opportunity."
She narrowed her eyes. "Since when is a blood oath not enough to keep a mage enslaved?"
"You are right, of course. I should not doubt my own success."
"Then why do you doubt your own success?"
He looked her in the eye. "Only because you are infinitely precious to me, Fairfax, and the loss of you would be devastating."
He was speaking of her as a tool to be deployed against the Bane. She didn't know why she should feel both a surge of heat and a ripple of pain in her heart.
She rose. "I'm finished here."
Ah, I love it when the hero and the heroine start off on the wrong foot, don't you? All that attraction+all that enmity=happy me. 🙂

Tucson, Ariz. • Arizona's players were lackadaisical on defense, shot 3-pointers they only hoped would go in and looked like a scared team, not one playing for the Pac-12 lead.
The Wildcats pulled together to grind out a win, but it's not what coach Sean Miller was hoping from his team, particularly not this late in the season.
Nick Johnson hit a 3-pointer with just over a minute left and had 18 points, Kyle Fogg added 17 points and Arizona shook off a lackluster first half to beat Utah 70-61 on Saturday.
Boxscore available at http://bit.ly/xy68bS
"I'm just really disappointed in myself and our team for having pathetic confidence in a game like this," Miller said. "We looked frightened, we missed open shots, we were lethargic. It's not alarming anymore because we're almost in March, but it's really disappointing."
Coming off three solid wins that moved them within a game of the conference lead, the Wildcats (18-8, 9-4 Pac-12) should have been ready to stomp out the conference's 11th-place team at home.
Instead, they came out flat, guiding their shots, giving up too many good looks on defense while falling into a 13-point first-half hole.
Arizona rallied in the second half behind the 3-point shooting of Fogg and Brendon Lavender, but still needed some big plays down the stretch to pull out its fourth straight win. Solomon Hill had 14 points and Lavender hit four 3-pointers in the second half for all of his 12 points.
"We did a great job of staying together and not panicking," said Fogg, who hit four 3-pointers and had six steals. "We knew we were going to win, we made them take some tough shots and got some stops."
Well, not until the end.
Utah (5-11, 2-11) was the more confident team for most of the game and hit 9 of 18 from the arc against the Pac-12's best team at defending 3-pointers. But, like it has for most of the season, the momentum ran out for the Utes, who didn't hit a shot from anywhere over the final 5:42 to lose their sixth straight game.
Jason Washburn and Cedric Martin had 15 points each for the Utes, 0-13 on the road this season.
"This game was heartbreaking," Washburn said. "We had the lead for the whole first half and a lot of time in the second half. We made some key mistakes and let them go. The crowd got into it, the players got into it and never looked back."
Arizona should have had more confidence than it showed against the Utes.
After stretches of inconsistency, the Wildcats seemed to be rounding into form as the season winds down, the three freshmen becoming more comfortable with the college game and the veterans with their new roles.
Arizona pulled off a Bay Area sweep a week ago by beating California and Stanford, and followed that with a decisive win over Colorado to move within a game of the conference lead.
The Wildcats ran over Utah the first meeting in Salt Lake City and were expected to roll again as long as they were focused.
They weren't.
Flat defensively and even worse on offense, Arizona fell behind 12-2 and had one field goal in 11 attempts until Hill scored on a layup at 10:49.
One of the Pac-12's best defensive teams, the Wildcats allowed Utah to hit 4 of 5 from behind the arc and to make 12 of 22 shots overall in the first half and continued to struggled defensively well into the second.
Guiding the ball instead of shooting it at times, Arizona made just 8 of 24 shots in the first half and had some ugly misses, including an open 3-pointer by Johnson that appeared to miss the basket by nearly a foot to the left. Even after Fogg and Johnson scored on four-point plays, Arizona couldn't climb all the way back from its hole, still down 33-25 at halftime.
Arizona finally got some shots to fall in the second half to get back in it. Well, Lavender did. He hit three 3-pointers and Fogg hit another during a 15-0 run that put the Wildcats up 46-43.
It still wasn't easy for the Wildcats.
Utah kept dropping in shots to keep it close before Arizona finally tightened up its defense over the final 6 minutes. Even then, the Wildcats needed Johnson's big 3-pointer and to make its free throws to pull out a surprisingly difficult home win.
"We missed a number of wide-open shots and I was helpless as a coach," Miller said. "Utah really stole our confidence and we were really fortunate to come away with a win today."
Utah's inaugural season in the Pac-12 and under coach Larry Krystkowiak has been a struggle.
The Utes opened 1-8 and the conference season hasn't been much better: nine losses in 10 games since beating Washington State on Jan. 5.
Utah ranks near the bottom of the Pac-12 in scoring and scoring defense, a difficult combination to overcome, and was blown out at home by Arizona the last time out.
Playing at McKale Center, one of the Pac-12's toughest venues, didn't seem like the place to turn it around, either.
Instead of being intimidated, the Utes went right at the Wildcats, contesting shots on defense, knocking down seemingly everything they put up on offense.
Utah did it with swagger you wouldn't expect from a team with the conference's second-worst record, too: Hines screamed after knocking down a 3-pointer and Hines stared at Arizona's bench after hitting another on the way to an eight-point halftime lead.
Even after Arizona rallied in the second half, the Utes didn't buckle under the atmosphere or pressure, continuing to knock down 3-pointers to keep the game tied at 61 with just under 6 minutes left. Utah had nothing left after that, though, unable to get anything to fall in the closing minutes for what might be its toughest-to-take road loss of the season.
"A loss is a loss," Krystkowiak said. "The Washington game was a one-possession game as well. They are fun to play, but it's still a loss."
In short
R The Utes lead by eight at halftime, but don't make a basket in the game's final 5 minutes, 42 seconds.

David Wright's 2011 campaign has already seen its fair share of ups and downs, but current signs point to an uptick. Specifically, I am talking about how well he is seeing the ball of late.
Wright has now drawn a walk in 7 consecutive games and raised his OBP from .322 to .347 over that span. In addition to the walks, he stroked seven hits and cut down on his K rate. The downside is that the hits have not come at the most opportune times, and he has not driven in any runs over the last week.
A quick look through Wright's career stats show that this current consecutive games with a walk streak is the longest of his career. The numbers also show that when Wright walks with frequency, the power numbers follow.
History tells us that this will be the case here, and that David will have a monster May.

House taken by Norwich for back taxes was once the home of escaped slave
Norwich - At a quick glance and on paper in city land records, the small, nondescript house at 59 School St. doesn't stand out.
The city of Norwich recently acquired the 1½-story, 1,000-square-foot, single-family house for back taxes along with a neighboring house and several vacant lots. One committee that had unsuccessfully sought developers for several adjacent tiny vacant lots on Washington Street recommended adding the School Street properties to the package and trying to find a developer.
That caused City Historian Dale Plummer to launch objections.
"It is very, very, very significant," Plummer said of the little yellow house. "It is just so rare. We talk about the Underground Railroad, but here is something that is actually connected to it."
About 20 years ago, when Plummer did a historical survey of the entire Jail Hill neighborhood for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, he did a title search on the small house. The result surprised him. He traced the ownership to one James L. Smith, an escaped slave who used the famed Underground Railroad network of contacts to make his way north.
"The question then becomes what to do with it and how to preserve it," Plummer said. "They can't just sell it without really seeing what the various options are. I would hope there would be some creative way to preserve it and, I hope, make it open to the public. It's something we can't afford to let slip from our grasp."
Smith settled in Norwich and worked as a bootblack in various downtown shoe shops. Before long, according to Smith's 1881 autobiography reprinted by the Society of the Founders of Norwich in 1976, Smith opened his own shop on Bath Street and "established myself in business with a full line of customers."
He then brought his wife and family from Massachusetts to Norwich and rented a tenement on School Street.
"The next year, I had accumulated money enough to pay one-half for a frame house - only a few steps from where I then lived - before taking possession of it. Three years from this time, I paid off all the mortgage on the house; then I truly felt that it was my own, since through my energy and toil, I had gained it."
Plummer said Smith's prideful tone in describing his hard work, establishing his business and buying a house is characteristic of escaped slaves who finally were able to reap their own gains from their labor.
Plummer also speculated that the city probably also acquired the tenement Smith had rented. The foreclosure action included a very similar style house at 61 School St. that almost touches the Smith house.
The Smith family likely lived in the School Street house from the mid 1840s to the 1850s - a tumultuous time, as the controversial Fugitive Slave Act mandated that slaves be returned to their Southern owners.
Smith described racial discrimination he experienced in Norwich, especially when he bought a larger house on Oak Street as his family grew. He said young black men were not allowed to attend the school on School Street. But, quoting the old saying, "the darkest hour is just before dawn," Smith boasted that his two daughters, Louie Amelia and Emma J.I. Smith, completed their classes at the new Norwich Free Academy and graduated.
Records on the Underground Railroad are understandably scarce, Plummer said, because those helping escaped slaves were subject to arrest as the captured slaves were remitted back into slavery. Plummer believes Smith remained active in the movement. In later years, in the 1870s, Smith lobbied for donations and support for freed blacks moving from their former Southern homes to the west, especially Kansas, to start new lives.
"It's a remarkable story," Plummer said.
Plummer met this week with City Manager Alan Bergren and expressed his concern about preserving the Smith House. He plans to bring the issue to the Connecticut Freedom Trail Committee and other preservation groups as well.
City Corporation Counsel Michael Driscoll said the city usually schedules an auction soon after acquiring properties for back taxes, not wanting to hold onto numerous properties for long. Driscoll said the city could have more control over a buyer if it separates the Smith house out and seeks buyers through a request for proposals.
The Washington Street Committee had attempted unsuccessfully to find a developer for several tiny lots and one rundown house at 47, 49, 51 and 53 Washington St. Committee Chairman Andrew Zeeman submitted a report to the City Council this week that recommended the city add the several adjoining rear properties on School Street "to make a future request for proposals more enticing."

Comments made by parties on websites have vexed media outlets and users since the Internet exploded into widespread use at the turn of this century.
Derisively called �online comments,� some of these posters state whatever might be on their minds about a given subject and do so without time to reflect about the foolishness of their actions. The service offers a quick and largely unedited and unfettered outlet to those with axes to grind with public entities and private individuals. It gives a forum to bigots espousing hatred for ethnic or religious groups. It provides a forum for people to engage in random and sometimes pointless and often vociferous debate with complete strangers. That�s how free speech works.
And for years it offered all of the above under a shroud of anonymity.
The Times-News and its website, TheTimesNews.com, largely put a halt to anonymous posts some time ago but continued to keep its online comments open to all who cared to register. This is because the majority of those who use these forums want to engage in town hall-style debates that are well within the boundaries of decent and honest commentary. In that respect, our comments section can serve as a useful place for members of our community to discuss the issues that impact us all.
That�s how free speech works, too.
But we were reminded once again last week about the hazards posed by online comments.
One frequent online commenter made a post concerning the Alamance County Board of Commissioners. As part of the string of comments this person used a quote from the movie �Pulp Fiction.� In the film by Quentin Tarantino, something identified as a Bible verse is quoted by a gangster portrayed by the actor Samuel L. Jackson before an act of violence is going to occur. It�s not exactly how Ezekiel 25:17 is written, Tarantino took some liberty with the language, but a threat is certainly implied.
The intent of the online commenter can�t be known. It is a person who has frequently criticized the commissioners in public and has had a long-standing dispute with the board. The comment was removed from our website.
The implied threat, though, concerned county officials enough to correctly involve Sheriff Terry Johnson. The sheriff, also correctly, bulked up security for those attending the Monday meeting of the Board of Commissioners. They were made to pass through a metal detector at the Alamance County Civil Courts Building entrance en route to the county office building where the board meetings are held.
The commenter was not charged because no direct threat was made. But the county and law enforcement still had to take the matter seriously. Providing more security was a wise move and should probably be continued going forward. Those who attend meetings of the Burlington City Council already pass through metal detectors under the eye of city law enforcement. It makes sense in this day and age to take action before something happens rather than ponder �what if� afterward.
In the meantime, we will continue to offer, but monitor, our online forums. Let us also note to those who use them that free speech is a wonderful right we have as Americans. But also point out that words have power and with power comes responsibility.

This secluded town in the region of Alto Maestrazgo houses one of the best examples of cave art from Levante, and was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.Tírig, a small town in the region of Alto Maestrazgo, traditionally devoted to cattle raising and agriculture (almonds and olives), is famous for having in its township one of the most important samples of Levante cave art. These cave paintings, declared a World Heritage site by Unesco, are located in the ravine of La Valltorta. There we find almost nine hundred painted figures scattered around seventeen small caves, depicting humans and animals mainly in hunting scenes, which reveals their Neolithic origin. The Museum of La Valltorta, located in this town, exhibits an interesting collection that includes reproductions of these cave paintings, the only testimony of the prehistoric settlers of the Mediterranean bowl.

I blogged yesterday about my trip to the Roth Distributing Minneapolis Showroom's Culinary Center.
There, I got my first taste — pardon the pun — of Wolf cooking and loved it. I especially liked the built-in griddle feature.
I don't eat a lot of pancakes, probably because they always turn out like Oreos in a pan (dark and crispy on the outside, white and creamy on the inside). The pancakes we made on this griddle were dummy-proof.
I wish I would've taken my own picture of Roth's griddle because it was so expertly seasoned. Apparently, some Wolf owners start to freak out a little when their griddle starts turning more brown than silver.
Well don't freak out. That's what it's supposed to look like.
Here's how to season the griddle:
You want to season the griddle before ever using it. Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or peanut oil (not olive oil!) per 11 inches in the center. Spread the oil with a dry paper towel.
Turn the griddle on to 350 degrees and heat the oil until it begins to smoke. Then turn off the heat, wait until the griddle is cool enough to touch and wipe the excess oil off with a paper towel.
Now, to clean the griddle, pour sparkling water (we used Perrier — when in Rome, right?) on it while it's hot. Excess oil and food scraps will bubble up and off. Use a metal spatula to scrape everything into the grease collector.
Once the griddle's clean, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil or peanut oil on the surface and spread it with another dry paper towel to reseason it.

DAR ES SALAAM — President Barack Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush stood side-by-side in Tanzania today to commemorate the victims of the al Qaeda bombing of the US Embassy 15 years ago — an attack that foreshadowed the United States' present military build-up in Africa.
The two men bowed their heads in silence at a memorial stone in the new embassy compound in Dar es Salaam to the 10 Tanzanians killed and 85 Americans and Tanzanians wounded in the bombing on August 7, 1998.
They then briefly spoke to survivors. But there was little personal interaction between the two men.
The ceremony took place at a time when the United States is stepping up its role in the fight against Islamist militants in Africa.
Washington supports African forces in stabilising Somalia and Mali, deploys dozens of training teams to African nations, provides intelligence and has struck at militants with drones.
With up to 5,000 personnel on the ground, the United States now has more troops in Africa than at any point since its Somalia intervention two decades ago.
On the same day as the Tanzanian attack, al Qaeda also bombed the US Embassy in Kenya. Those assaults proved a precursor to the September 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks on US cities and the subsequent US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq ordered by Bush.
Obama has spent his tenure winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and reacting to an economic downturn that Democrats blame on Bush's policies. Republicans in turn say Obama's actions have been bad for growth.
But on his three-nation African tour, Obama offered praise for the former president and described Bush's programme to battle HIV/AIDS there as a "crowning achievement".
Bush is highly regarded in much of Africa for his legacy of support, while Obama has disappointed many by paying it little attention, security concerns aside, despite his African heritage. (Reuters)

Born in Compton in the early 1980's and raised in San Diego, CA, CHRISTIAN was brought up with an element of strong poverty.

International Incidents
What do you get when you go into a Mexican bakery, where they speak English, and ask them - in Spanish - to write "Happy Birthday" in English?
I mean, besides confused.
You get this:
Which, if I remember my 1st grade Spanish, means "The Happy Complaining Eagles."
I took French.
Ah. "Happy Birthday English!" I guess that does make more sense.
What do you get when you go into a Chinese bakery and ask them to write "Congratulations Ian!" in both English and Chinese?
You get some reeeally enthusiastic Englrsh chunese, that's what.
Hey, I'm actually starting to feel a bit better about U.S. bakeries! Maybe we're not the only wreckerators out there. Maybe there are places even worse off in the wreckage department!
Never mind. Feeling's gone.
Thanks to our wrecky ambassadors Chris L., Mary S., and Kendra P. for fostering international unity. In wrecks.

Pall Corporation today launched the Sentino Filter Dispenser to simplify membrane handling and maximize workflow in high throughput microbiology testing laboratories. The Sentino Dispenser aseptically dispenses individual membrane filters with a single press on its soft-touch keypad. The Pall Sentino range is a complete system of products for evaluation of microbial contamination of aqueous samples using the Membrane Filter (MF) Technique. Disposable filter funnels also are available to accompany the Sentino Pump.
"The Sentino Microbiology System is now complete. It provides the flexibility needed to best suit the economic, ergonomic, and workflow needs in a busy microbiology laboratory," said Larry O'Connell, senior vice president, Pall Laboratory Products.
The Sentino Pump streamlines analysis by replacing traditional vacuum filtration systems with a small peristaltic-action pump to draw samples through a membrane filter. The unit's compact design makes it easy to use in confined spaces, frees valuable bench top space, and provides workspace flexibility. It's extremely portable, with a rechargeable battery for point-of-use sampling or field filtration.
The new Sentino Filter Dispenser complements the Sentino Pump. It provides a fast, ergonomic way to handle individual membranes. It aseptically dispenses one disc of membrane with the push of a button and its easy-load design ensures highly reliable dispensing. Process interruptions are minimal. The 200-membrane capacity makes it the largest dispenser available. In keeping with the design principles, the dispenser is compact and portable for workspace optimization.
Completing the range, the Sentino Magnetic Filter Funnel is compatible with both the new Sentino Dispenser and the Sentino Pump. The strong magnetic attachment of cylinder to base provides one-handed operation and a leak-free seal of the membrane filter.
"The Sentino range is a good example of our commitment to improving efficiency and reducing overall costs for high throughput laboratory testing," added Mr. O'Connell.

Ravens run offense vs. Steelers run defense:
Ray Rice's three lowest rushing totals from last season came against the Steelers. In three meetings, he rushed for 20, 32 and 32 yards. But the Ravens are confident in revitalizing the NFL's 14th-ranked rushing attack with the free-agent signing of All-Pro fullback Vonta Leach. The Steelers have allowed only one 100-yard rusher in their last 50 games (which dates back to 2007), but that one player was Rice. Pittsburgh led the league in fewest rushing yards per game (62.8) and per carry (3.0). The challenge of moving nose tackle Casey Hampton is increased because Ravens center Matt Birk didn't play the entire preseason after having knee surgery.
Edge: STEELERS
Ravens pass offense vs. Steelers pass defense
In eight games against the Steelers (including playoffs), Joe Flacco has completed 53.4 percent of his passes and averaged 193.7 yards passing. He's thrown seven touchdowns and eight interceptions for a rating of 68.5. Not all the blame can be placed on Flacco, who has watched receivers drop passes and lineman fail to pick up blitzes. The Ravens need to take advantage of speedy wide receiver Lee Evans, who is replacing Derrick Mason. He stretched the field in the preseason, averaging a team-best 21.3 yards per catch. If the Ravens want to get the ball downfield, new left tackle Bryant McKinnie and recently moved right tackle Michael Oher have to slow down pass rushers James Harrison (10 ½ sacks last season) and LaMarr Woodley (9 ½).
Edge: EVEN
Steelers run offense vs. Ravens run defense
The Ravens is looking to remain a top-5 rushing defense for the sixth straight season. Last season, the Ravens allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game (93.9) and only five rushing touchdowns, which tied Pittsburgh for fewest in the NFL. Inside linebacker Ray Lewis is starting his 16th season opener after leading the Ravens last season with 145 tackles. The Ravens have never really had trouble stopping Rashard Mendenhall, who has averaged three yards per carry in five regular-season meetings. Mendenhall's biggest strengths are producing big plays and punching it into the end zone (team-leading 13 touchdowns last season). The Ravens' Terrence Cody, a second-round pick from a year ago, replaces long-time starting nose tackle Kelly Gregg.
Steelers pass offense vs. Ravens pass defense
Ben Roethlisberger's impact in this series goes beyond statistics. In his past six games vs. the Ravens – all wins – he has averaged 238 yards passing, throwing seven touchdowns and four interceptions. The reason why he gives the Ravens so many fits is his ability to escape sacks and extend plays. The Ravens' greatest concern is speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace, who led the NFL with seven 100-yard receiving games. Cary Williams is expected to start at cornerback after a strong preseason. The other starting cornerback will either be Domonique Foxworth, who isn't fully recovered from last year's knee surgery; Jimmy Smith, a rookie first-round pick; or Chris Carr, who has been limited in preseason with a hamstring injury. Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs has sacked Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger more than any other player in the NFL (12 ½ times).
Edge: STEELERS
Special teams
There's no comparison when it comes to the team's specialists. The Ravens have two of the NFL's best in kicker Billy Cundiff and punter Sam Koch. Cundiff is coming off his first Pro Bowl season and made his final 14 field goals in the regular season. Koch had a great preseason, netting 42.8 yards on his punts, which was over three yards more than last season's average. Pittsburgh kicker Shaun Suisham made 14 of 15 field goals after replacing Jeff Reed but he lacks a strong leg. Steelers punter Daniel Sepulveda, who has suffered three knee injuries including one last season, only netted 36.2 yards on his punts this preseason. Undrafted rookie LaQuan Williams (Poly and Maryland) is expected to field punts for the Ravens after both of his returns this preseason went over 30 yards.
Edge: RAVENS
Roethlisberger has owned the Ravens over the past four seasons, winning seven straight meetings. Although the Ravens have the third-best regular-season home record since 2000 (65-23), Roethlisberger has won his last two starts at M&T Bank Stadium (2008 and 2010), delivering come-from-behind victories in the fourth quarter both times. The Ravens have never lost a season opener under coach John Harbaugh, but the Steelers have won eight straight openers – the longest streak in the NFL. Continuity could be a factor in a lockout-shortened offseason, which is advantage for the Steelers, who made fewer moves than the Ravens this offseason (Pittsburgh added seven players and the Ravens brought in 20).
Edge: STEELERS
The 2011 season will begin like the last one ended. In yet another game that will come down to the fourth quarter, Roethlisberger will make the critical play and the Ravens won't. In the Harbaugh era, the Ravens' biggest obstacle to the AFC North title remains Roethlisberger.

Sunday's megaquake was not the first time, or even the second, that a major geological event in Indonesia has killed tens of thousands.
From the 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora to the 1883 explosion of Krakatoa, Indonesia's seismic tragedies of the past two centuries have altered human history well beyond the Pacific's so-called Ring of Fire, sending geopolitical, economic, and even artistic repercussions across the planet.
The havoc wrought by the tsunami that swamped southern Asia Sunday is a stark reminder that humanity is bound together as much by geological forces - often unseen and occasionally devastating - as by the tides of commerce and culture.
This latest natural disaster will have profound effects on the politics and economies of the Indian Ocean. Separatist movements in Sri Lanka and in Indonesia's Aceh province suffered thousands of casualties, and India's pummeled Nicobar and Andaman islands have often been used by rebels from both movements.
How well governments respond to the tragedy, say historians, could shape those conflicts and their nations for years to come. "Some people think natural calamities are a signal from god," says Taufik Abdullah, an Indonesian historian trained at Cornell University. Historically "quite often natural rebellions have triggered social rebellions," he says.
Indonesian quakes have touched off global political aftershocks before.
The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa off southern Sumatra is considered by some historians to be the world's first global media event. The invention of the telegraph and creation of news services like Reuters allowed Americans "to read of the devastation over breakfast the next day," says Simon Winchester, a trained geologist and author of the 2003 book "Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded."
Tsunamis generated by that eruption killed 40,000 on Java and Sumatra. The explosion was heard as far away as Australia and India, and threw millions of tons of ash into the atmosphere that affected global weather for years. Krakatoa's ash helped cool temperatures around the world and led to stunning sunsets in Europe and the US that captivated artists.
The 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora, too, had far-reaching effects. It killed 100,000 people on Sumbawa island and spewed so much ash into the air that 1816 became known in the US and England as "the year without a summer."
In Europe, Mary Shelley penned her grim tale of Frankenstein while huddled inside that year, and her literary friend Lord Byron wrote, "the bright sun was extinguish'd..., and the icy earth swung blind and blackening in the moonless air." [Editor's note: The original version may have led the reader to believe Shelley and Byron wrote in the year 1883 instead of the correct year of 1816.]
Some historians say that crop failures in New England that year spurred an exodus of tens of thousands of farmers to more-fertile soils of the Midwest, speeding the American conquest of the continent.
Imams on the northwest coast of Java preached that the eruption was a sign of Allah's displeasure at infidel rule, and urged a violent jihad, according to Sartono Kartodirdjo, am Indonesian historian.
The Dutch knew the political stakes, and knew that improved global communications would bring unprecedented scrutiny to the disaster, says Mr. Winchester, by phone from his home in England.
"The Dutch made this superhuman effort to bring relief to the area because they were aware of the significance of the event and that the Muslim clerics were quickly making political capital from the event," he says.
Nevertheless, emboldened clerics and destitute peasant communities sharpened their rhetoric and began an assassination campaign against Dutch officials and planters, culminating in the Banten peasants' revolt of 1888 that killed dozens of Dutch and hundreds of Indonesians.
That failed movement helped further the cause of Indonesian nationalism and eventual independence, as well as the country's minor strain of Islamist movements that find their modern expression in the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist group that killed over 200 in an attack on a Bali nightclub in 2002.
The 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora, too, had far-reaching effects. It killed 100,000 people on Sumbawa island and spewed so much ash into the air that 1816 became known in the US and England as "the year without a summer."
Some historians say that crop failures in New England that year spurred an exodus of tens of thousands of farmers to more-fertile soils of the Midwest, speeding the American conquest of the continent.
For now, Indonesia is simply trying to save as many lives as possible. Steve Aswin, an officer with the United Nations in Jakarta, said it would take a year or two for Aceh to recover.
"No government could cope with a disaster of this magnitude," says Puji Pujiono, an Indonesian relief expert.
In Sri Lanka, relief efforts have already touched off recriminations between the Tamil Tigers and the government in Colombo, with the rebel movement saying earlier this week that the government is deliberately slowing relief efforts.
And fingerpointing has begun in Thailand and elsewhere about the failure of governments to warn of the tsunami. A group of Indonesian seismologists, for example, has been warning of the likelihood of devastating tsunamis for years.
Tsunami expert Hamzah Latief says he urged the government in a 2002 paper to set up an early warning system.
"Now it's too painful to watch TV," he says. "I can't forget the people's suffering."

Sept. 23, 2005
Sept. 22, 2005 - The Bisons hit the right goal post twice in the second half, but they couldn't get the ball into the net.
Despite a strong second half effort the Bisons fell 3-0 on the road in Bowling Green at Western Kentucky Thursday night.
Lipscomb midfielders Josh Cline and Michael Spencer each hit the right goal post on shots in the second half.
"For a large portion of the second half we outplayed them," said Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow. "Their coach told us we outplayed and outworked them in the second half. We had better chances. We hit the post twice in the second half and we had three other good chances throughout the game."
Forward Ben Page led the Bisons with three shots, but no shots on goal. Also credited with a shot on goal were midfielder Xander Vooys, forward Jorge Suarez and midfielder Roland Borys.
Western Kentucky scored one goal in the first half and two in the second.
Forward Richard Mupfudze scored the second and third goals for Western Kentucky. The first came on a penalty kick at the 84:04 mark of the game. Forty-seven seconds later Mupfudze struck again with an unassisted goal.
Midfielder Daniel Payne scored the first half goal for Western Kentucky at the 15:22 mark. Mupfudze was credited with the assist.
Mupfudze had seven shots and four shots on goal, both game highs.
The Bisons are 2-3-1. Western Kentucky is 4-2-1.

|Version 6 (modified by jtv, 13 years ago) (diff)
The first version of libpqxx was written in 2001, and it was adopted as the official replacement for the older libpq++ a few years later. The principal author and maintainer is Jeroen T. Vermeulen, but many others have contributed. Some of the most noteworthy names are:
- Ray Dassen, who in many ways gave me the chance to work on this while at Cistron in the Netherlands, did the initial Debian packaging and GNU autoconf/automake/libtool work, and on numerous occasions helped out with advice and fixes.
- Bart Samwel, also in the Netherlands, who is always finding bugs and solutions and often makes time to participate in design discussions. He has also done great work on polishing up the Windows build lately.
- Roger Leigh maintains the Debian package for libpqxx.
Then there are users who have contributed in various ways:
- Clinton James pioneered the Windows build.
- Arjen Baart contributed, among other things, RPM packaging.
- Jon Meinecke has put a lot of effort into making things run smoothly using Sun's compilers and operating systems.
- Patrick Kimber has helped with Visual C++ problems.
- Michael J. Pedersen has contributed fixes for MinGW builds.
- JAMES KYARI, son of late General Kubwa Kyari of the Democratic Republic of Congo, offered to chip in several million dollars in return for some assistance in funneling his father's considerable capital out of the country. Somehow we never got around to closing this deal.
- And many, many more... I could not name all who deserve to be.
Of course, people have contributed with bug reports, bug fixes, feature requests, good questions etc. are given credit by name wherever possible. Just search the ChangeLog file for the word "thanks" (or "Thanks").

May 9, 2017Case Study: Wearable Tech powered by Docker and Triton by Luc Juggery, Co-Founder, TRAXxs
High-quality IoT apps can be challenging to build and scale with traditional monolithic services architectures. The backends serving millions of device end points are often plagued by server-side concurrency bottlenecks generated by synchronous server threads. Microservices built with Node.js are being used to solve this design problem, primarily due to its asynchronous event-based architecture and high concurrency characteristics.
May 4, 2017DockerCon video: simplify container orchestration and turbocharge Docker Compose by Casey Bisson
Getting started with container orchestration and scheduling systems, like Kubernetes, is relatively simple, but as your deployment grows it gets complicated fast. There are ways to reduce that complexity, and even eliminate cluster management. We will share a simpler approach that leverages Docker Compose (in ways you may not know are possible) and the Autopilot Pattern for application micro-orchestration. The Autopilot Pattern works with any container scheduler, but for many applications and use cases we've found that this design pattern, combined with smart use of Docker Compose, provides the most elegant and scalable solution.

Ties That Bind
Ah, neck ties. Those glorious, generic "Dad" gifts that men have enjoyed - nay, cherished! - since the invention of clothing. After all, what can make you feel more alive than a silk noose around your neck signifying lifelong membership in the greater corporate collective? Hmmm?
And, naturally, when it comes to getting dad a cake on his special day, bakers sure know how to please:
Well, they've got a cake for that, too!
Just say "no" to tie cakes! Say "no" to boring clichés! Instead, go with creativity! Go with quality! Go with...
You're welcome, fathers everywhere.
Oh, and a belated "epi briday" to Dorothy "big deal" M. Nappy blob blob, Dor!

Or, maybe you came from somewhere else on this site - in which case it is our fault BUT not if the server is playing up and if that's the case then it might get better all by itself. Technology huh?

International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean, Version 2.23
The goal of this initiative is to develop a digital data base that contains all available bathymetric data north of 64 degrees North, for use by mapmakers, researchers, and others whose work requires a detailed and accurate knowledge of the depth and the shape of the Arctic seabed. Initiated in 1997, this undertaking has so far engaged the volunteer efforts of investigators who are affiliated with eleven institutions in eight countries: Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the USA. The activity has also been endorsed and/or supported financially by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), the US Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the US National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). Version 2.23 of the IBCAO Grid is now available for downloading along with maps that are suitable for plotting. This new update is the most comprehensive since the first release of IBCAO in 2000 and includes the recent years of multibeam mapping. The resolution of the Polarstereographic grid has been increased from 2.5 km to 2 km.

After struggling to get Seattle's offense started for most of the game, Wilson found fullback Michael Robinson out of the backfield on a 10-yard TD with 2:09 left in the third quarter to give the Seahawks a 13-10 lead. That capped a run of three straight completions for Wilson to finish the drive.
Manning set the record in 1998 with the Indianapolis Colts.
