"This reform momentum, driven partly by Lithuania's EU accession 10 years ago, has led, in fact, to a striking increase in the prosperity of Lithuanians." More>

Firefly Music Server
The Firefly Media Server makes streaming music and Internet radio onto your home network for iTunes or Banshee clients as easy as pie.
Imagine a scenario in which you have two stationary PCs on your network, and you also use a laptop as a portable workstation. An older PC acts as a gateway, print, and file server. Your music collection is spread across the hard disks of the three workstations, and if you happen to be working on your laptop, you can only access the songs on the local disk.
To be able to access the whole collection, all three computers would need to be up and running. Furthermore, using Samba or NFS shares for access is not your idea of a convenient approach.

Much Ado About Nothing

Beatrice Timeline and Summary
- 1.1.30: Beatrice's first line of the play is a question about whether Signior Mountanto has returned from the wars or not. He's not recognized by this name, as of course she means Benedick, but the tone is thus set for her to be less than straight in her dealings about Benedick. He seems to occupy her thoughts, but she never directly addresses that fact, just as she is rarely direct in her dealings with him.
- 1.1.39: Beatrice tells a weird story in which Benedick came to Messina and challenged Cupid. Beatrice says her "uncle's fool" answered Benedick's challenge in place of Cupid, and we can only assume she means she herself challenged Benedick in his contest against love. Beatrice leaves off further investigation of what this means (likely that they had a relationship before), and instead wonders how many men Benedick has killed, as she promised to eat his killings. (This lets us know that Beatrice told Benedick he'd likely not kill anyone. Either that or she's a cannibal.)
- 1.1.54: Beatrice teases the messenger, wrapping him up in words. Beatrice says that Benedick may be a good soldier to a lady, but he's likely a bad soldier to a lord (alluding to perhaps her playboy notion of him). She thinks of him as "stuffed" or pompous man.
- 1.1.65: Beatrice addresses Leonato's claim that she and Benedick are constantly engaged in a war of the wits. She says he's left with only one wit about him since their last little sparring match, so she hopes it keeps him warm, and smarter than his horse. She asks what companion he's picked up in these battles, since he seems to be in the habit of always having a new BFF tagging along.
- 1.1.75: Beatrice declares that of course Benedick has new BFF – he changes his hat with each fashion. (This likely refers to Benedick's habit of changing friends, but also an allusion to Beatrice's bitterness over however her previous relationship with Benedick ended.)
- 1.1.86: Beatrice compares Benedick's fast friendship to a disease – she hopes poor Claudio can be cured of it.
- 1.1.94: Leonato declares Beatrice will never run mad (with love) and she confirms she'll run mad in a hot January (which will never happen, because global warming didn't yet exist).
- 1.1.116: Beatrice cheerfully notes that no one is listening to Benedick, and wonders why he continues to talk.
- 1.1.120: Beatrice responds to Benedick calling her "Lady Disdain." She says disdain can live easily when it has stuff like Benedick to keep it alive. Beatrice insists Benedick can transform even courtesy to disdain with his presence.
- 1.1.128: Beatrice claims that Benedick's inability to love a woman is a blessing to women, who would otherwise be more troubled by him. Beatrice thanks God that she shares Benedick's bad taste for love – she'd rather hear a dog bark at a crow (huh?) than hear a man profess his love.
- 1.1.136: Beatrice and Benedick engage in one of their classic wars of wit – she calls him ugly, and dim-witted, and as he backs away from the contest, she says he falls lame like an old horse in a race. She adds cryptically that she knows him "of old," meaning she's used to seeing this kind of behavior from him, but we're not sure in what context… Or are we?
- 2.1.3: Beatrice notes Don John's sour looks, which give her heartburn. She uses it as an occasion to talk about Benedick again, saying if one could blend Benedick's silly prattling with Don John's severity, he'd be a fine man indeed.
- 2.1.14: Beatrice lists off the other qualities this ideal man would need to have, such as good looks and wealth, too. She says a man like that could get any woman in the world, if he could get her good will. (Remember it seems like no one can get Beatrice's good will.)
- 2.1.21: Beatrice jokes that she's too ill-tempered for God to ever send her a husband. She goes on to say that she's grateful and thanks God every day that she has no such man sent to her. She then lists off why she can have no man: she couldn't endure a man with a wooly beard, but she couldn't have a man with no beard at all (because he might as well be a woman). She'd rather have an advance payment for training and keeping bears and apes, and then lead the apes to hell (where old maids were thought to go).
- 2.1.43: Beatrice assures everybody she won't end up in hell, though, as once she got there, the devil would be sure to send her to heaven, saying "hell is no place for maids." There in heaven, Beatrice is sure St. Peter would send her to hang out with all the single people, and they'd be merry, like only single people can be.
- 2.1.52: As Antonio tells Hero he's sure she'll be guided by her father's will (to marry Don Pedro), Beatrice answers for her. Beatrice says Hero knows she must do her duty to her father, but she reminds Hero that if the man her father chooses isn't handsome, Hero can also say she'd rather do what pleases her.
- 2.1.59: Beatrice promises she won't be married until men are made from some other substance than the earth itself. She holds the sons of the Biblical Adam to be her brothers in humankind, and thus getting with any of them would be incest, a sin, so she'll hold off.
- 2.1.69: Beatrice teases that if Hero isn't wooed in time, the fault will be in the music. She describes the stages of courting – from the fast jig of falling in love, to the stately dance of wedding, all the way up to the frantic backtracking dance of trying to get out of a marriage by going to the grave.
- 2.1.82: Leonato praises Beatrice for her keen powers of observation. She declares she can simply see a church by daylight – meaning she can see what's there clearly, and doesn't claim to be any more perceptive than your average bear. (Unless it's a really tiny church.)
- 2.1.137: Beatrice is at the masque dance with a man she may or may not know is Benedick, since he is disguised. She's pretty peeved at some comments that her dance partner claims to have heard about her (and the comments weren't too nice), so she naturally concludes that it was Benedick who said the nasty things. On this note, she goes into describing Benedick as a fool to her partner, who claims not to know him (though her partner is him). Beatrice says Benedick is the Prince's jester, a dull fool who only makes bad men laugh, because bad men enjoy his villainy. Even those who laugh at him, Beatrice says, don't really respect him, as they're as prone to laugh at him as to beat him. Still, she says she's sure Benedick is in "the fleet" and she wishes he had "boarded" her, perhaps because she'd like to mock him, perhaps because she secretly likes him.
- 2.1.278: Don Pedro notes that Benedick ran away like the dickens as soon as Beatrice approached. Don Pedro chides Beatrice affectionately, saying she has lost the heart of Benedick. She responds cryptically and kind of sadly. She says he lent her his heart once, and she gave him twice as much, but he won it from her by false dice (meaning he played falsely for it). Though it seems Benedick was the initial one to give up his heart, Beatrice thinks she was on the raw end of the deal.
- 2.1.285: Don Pedro teases that Beatrice has put Benedick down, but she points out that she'd rather Benedick not put her down as he'd be likely to make her the mother of fools.
- 2.1.293: Beatrice has brought Claudio in, and kind of oversees his interaction with Hero. At first, Claudio, thinking Don Pedro has stolen Hero from him, is sulky. Beatrice lightens the mood by joking that the count is "civil as an orange," playing on the idea that bitter oranges came from Seville (which sounds like civil) and also that oranges were close to yellow in color, and yellow was the color associated with jealousy.
- 2.1.305: As it gets cleared up that Hero belongs to Claudio after all, Beatrice encourages the young couple, teasing that if Hero can't say anything, the least she can do is kiss poor Claudio, so he can't speak either. Don Pedro compliments Beatrice for being so warm, and she says her heart is a poor fool that knows little of caring too much. As Beatrice watches Claudio and Hero play snugglebunnykins, she laughingly says it seems everyone in the world is getting a husband but her. She declares she'll go off into the corner and shout out "Heigh-ho" to catch a husband.
- 2.1.322: Beatrice teasingly leads on Don Pedro, saying she'd like to marry the kind of man that Don Pedro's father made. She asks if Don Pedro has a brother. After leaving the door open for Don Pedro to flirt with her, he proposes marriage, and Beatrice shuts him down.
- 2.1.327: She says he's too fine an apparel to wear all the time; he'd make a great weekend husband, but she couldn't handle all that finery. She then asks him to forgive her for being more full of jokes than serious stuff.
- 2.1.334: Beatrice tells Don Pedro that she wasn't born in a merry hour at all. In fact, her mother cried while she gave birth to Beatrice, but a star danced, and under that star Beatrice was born. She then wishes her cousin joy in her union, and heads off.
- 2.3.247: Beatrice comes to the garden to call Benedick to dinner, but she makes a big show of the fact that she doesn't enjoy the errand.
- 2.3.249: Beatrice makes a mockery of Benedick's attempts to thank her politely. She claims she didn't take any pains to do it, not because she enjoys her task, but because if it gave her any actual pain, she wouldn't have done it at all.
- 3.1.107: Beatrice has just overheard Ursula and Hero converse in the garden. She is disturbed that she has been condemned by her friends as proud and scornful. She decides she'll rid herself of these qualities. More importantly, she'll accept Benedick's love, and tame her wild heart to his hand. Then, if the two of them love each other so much, why don't they marry each other? Also, other people say Benedick is a good guy, so she'll believe it and think he deserves her.
- 3.4.40: Beatrice is brought in as Hero readies for her wedding day. She's less jovial than usual, and admits that she's out of sorts.
- 3.4.52: As Beatrice rushes Hero to get to church, she declares she is still feeling ill, and cries out "Heigh-ho." (If you remember, she told Don Pedro that's what she would say if she were looking for a husband. Foreshadowing?)
- 3.4.56: Margaret teases her about whether she might be looking for a hawk, a horse, or a husband. But in response, Beatrice doesn't have anything nasty to say about marriage, as she doesn't deny that she might be on the man-market (though she doesn't confirm it either).
- 3.4.77: Margaret teases her some more, alluding to her crush on Benedick, and Beatrice is uncharacteristically unwitty. She again declares she's sick, and then flips out when Margaret suggests she should have some holy thistle.
- 4.1.109: Beatrice is shocked at the accusations against Hero, but rather than rail wittily at Hero's accusers, Beatrice franticly tends to her cousin. She demands to know why Hero swoons, and calls out to Leonato, Benedick, and the Friar for help, seeming to think that Hero has died when the girl faints.
- 4.1.146: Though Benedick says he can't speak, he's so struck with wonder at the proceeding of these accusations, Beatrice comes to an immediate conclusion: she cries out that her cousin has been slandered.
- 4.1.148: Beatrice admits that she didn't sleep in Hero's room last night (the night in question) but she says she's been Hero's bedfellow for the last year (and there's been no Borachio there).
- 4.1.256: Benedick gets Beatrice alone after the entire would-be wedding hullabaloo, and Beatrice admits she has been weeping this whole time, and will continue to do it.
- 4.1.261: Beatrice again repeats that her cousin has been slandered, and declares the man who would fix this wrong would gain much from Beatrice herself.
- 4.1.264: Beatrice ominously states that she knows exactly what someone could do to show their friendship to her in this dark hour – she knows the task, but she doesn't know a man (or friend) who would do it. Benedick, of course, offers himself up, but Beatrice says while it's a man's work to be done, Benedick isn't the man for the job.
- 4.1.269: Benedick takes this weird opportunity to declare his love to her, and Beatrice, for the first time, kind of trips over her words. She says it's strange indeed that he should love her; she could say she loved him, but he shouldn't believe her, though she isn't lying. Basically, she says she confesses nothing, but she doesn't deny anything either. She's got bigger fish to fry, and simply says that she's sorry for her cousin.
- 4.1.275: Benedick has sworn that he loves Beatrice, and that any man can eat it if he says otherwise. Beatrice tells him not to eat his oaths.
- 4.1.283: Beatrice says Benedick has cut her off at the pass: she was just about to "protest" (as in, to say) that she loved him. In fact, she loves him so much there's none of her heart is left to protest (as in, to fight it). That's cute.
- 4.1.289: Beatrice is glad to have Benedick's sworn love, because now he'll kill Claudio for her, right?
- 4.1.291: Beatrice gets up and is ready to leave when Benedick hesitates to kill his old friend. She declares there's no love in him after all. He doesn't even make a good friend if he prefers her enemy over her.
- 4.1.301: Beatrice rails against Claudio when Benedick asks if Claudio is really her enemy. Beatrice notes that Claudio is responsible for scorning, slandering, and dishonoring her beloved cousin, Hero. She then passionately wishes she were a man, because then she would eat Claudio's heart in full public view, just as he disgraced Hero publicly.
- 4.1.309: Beatrice sputters on for a while, first pish-poshing at the accusation about the window, and then decrying the fact that Hero's good name is ruined by slander. She mocks the titles of Prince and Count (meaning Don Pedro and Claudio) and again wishes she were a man. Finally, Beatrice laments that manhood no longer means acts of valor, but is defined by compliments and courtesies of gentlemanly niceties. To be Hercules nowadays, one only has to tell a lie and swear to it, instead of proving it. Beatrice declares that she can't become a man by wishing, so she'll die a woman by grieving.
- 4.1.330: Beatrice again brings home the notion that Benedick can't love her if he will only swear by her hand, and not do anything vile to Claudio with his own hands. Benedick finally gets a word in edgewise, and Beatrice confirms that she believes Claudio has wrongly accused Hero. She believes it with all her thoughts and soul, which ends up being enough proof for Benedick.
- 5.2.46: Beatrice teases a little with Benedick in Leonato's orchard, but she's still got her eyes on the prize. She asks what went down between Claudio and Benedick.
- 5.2.52: Hearing it was only words, Beatrice uses her cunning linguistic skills to say she won't kiss Benedick, as he's gotten foul breath from foul words, and who wants to make out with foul breath guy?
- 5.2.62: Beatrice and Benedick then play a little game, and Beatrice declares she fell in love with all of Benedick's bad parts together, because they were so purely bad. She asks when he first suffered love for her. Hearing that he loves her against his will, she teases that she too will hate his love for her, because she can't love the love that her friend Benedick hates having.
- 5.2.73: As Benedick realizes Beatrice is spinning circles around him with her wit, she teases him some more about his declaration that he's wise. But she answers seriously when he asks after Hero. Beatrice says Hero is ill, and so Beatrice herself is ill too.
- 5.2.101: Beatrice invites Benedick to come with her to hear the great news of how Hero has been absolved.
- 5.4.73: Now that everything's been cleared up, Beatrice stands forth in front of everyone when Benedick publicly asks if she loves him. She says she doesn't love him, or rather, she doesn't love him more than reason allows. She's unseated when he says the same thing to her, and claims that Margaret, Ursula, and Hero told her otherwise, as they said Benedick was close to death with love for Beatrice.
- 5.4.83: Pressured by this public display to admit her love, she says she loves Benedick in a friendly manner.
- 5.4.94: Hero coughs up Beatrice's letter that clearly shows her love for Benedick. As Beatrice accepts Benedick, she teases that she is only taking him because she's being heavily persuaded, and also, she just means to save his life, as she heard he was sick with consumption (as in, consumed by love for her).

UPDATE 2-Ceglia lawyer withdraws from Facebook lawsuit
Paul Ceglia, the plaintiff, asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie Foschio in Buffalo, New York to delay his case for three weeks after allowing his lead lawyer, Jeffrey Lake, to withdraw from the case.According to the Monday evening filing, Lake said Ceglia is in the "final stages" of obtaining a new lawyer, and is in talks with "several" lawyers who are "diligently coming up to speed with the facts and proceedings" to represent him.Paul Argentieri, another lawyer for Ceglia, will remain on the case, Monday's filing showed. Lake did not give a reason for his withdrawal.A call to Lake's office in San Diego was not answered, and Lake did not immediately respond to an email request for comment. Argentieri did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Facebook declined to comment.The filing marks the latest twist in a year-old case over the authenticity of a 2003 contract under which Ceglia said he hired Zuckerberg, then a Harvard University freshman, for multiple projects, one of which eventually became Facebook.The company calls that contract a forgery, and said an "authentic" contract found on Ceglia's computer does not concern Facebook.Lake withdrew after Facebook asked Foschio to punish Ceglia and his lawyers for their failure to turn over email accounts and passwords, as the judge had directed in an Aug. 18 order.In an Oct. 7 court filing, Lake had written that he had told Ceglia about the order, but that "Mr. Ceglia instructed me not to comply with this provision" and to raise the issue before a different judge.A week later, Facebook said Ceglia's lawyers had a duty to resist their client's alleged effort to break the law, and might have violated state ethics rules by revealing what he said in an effort to protect themselves."If they fail to persuade their client to change direction, their proper course is to withdraw," Facebook lawyers wrote.Lake had in June replaced the law firm DLA Piper as Ceglia's counsel. That firm previously replaced a different lawyer.Earlier on Monday, Foschio had scheduled a Nov. 2 hearing to consider whether to force Ceglia to comply with his Aug. 18 order, which also gave Facebook access to computers and files and required Ceglia to describe the content of missing materials. That timetable is now in doubt.Facebook is based in Palo Alto, California, and may be worth $68.2 billion, according to SharesPost Inc, which tracks valuations of private companies.Many analysts expect Facebook to conduct an initial public offering as soon as next year. Zuckerberg is worth $17.5 billion, Forbes magazine said last month.Ceglia is a wood pellet salesman from Wellsville, New York, and now reported to be living in Ireland.The case is Ceglia v.

* China trade surplus narrows* Futures off: Dow 22 pts, S&P 3.8 pts, Nasdaq 5.25 ptsBy Chuck MikolajczakNEW YORK, Oct 13 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell on Thursday after weaker-than-expected economic data in China reawakened global economic worry and earnings from JPMorgan Chase.* China's trade surplus narrowed for a second straight month in September, as both imports and exports were lower than expected, reflecting global economic weakness and domestic cooling.* Shares of JPMorgan Chase Co , the first of the U.S. big banks to release third-quarter results, were off 0.7 percent to $32.96 in premarket after posting third-quarter earnings.* The S&P 500 is up about 12 percent from its intraday low hit last week on Tuesday and had its largest seven-day rally since March 2009.* S&P 500 futures fell 3.8 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures shed 22 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 5.25 points.* Economic data on tap includes weekly U.S. jobless claims, due at 8:30 a.m. (1230 GMT), with economists in a Reuters survey forecasting 405,000 new filings compared with 401,000 in the prior week.* Also at 8:30 a.m (1230 GMT), the Commerce Department releases data on August international trade. Economists in a Reuters survey forecast a $45.8 billion deficit compared with a $44.81 billion deficit in July.* Google is reporting third-quarter earnings after the close and investors will be looking to see how the slowing economy is impacting its advertising business.* A report on Wednesday that Akamai Technologies Inc was close to being acquired by Google has no merit, a person familiar with the matter said. Akami shares were up 4 percent to $24.30 in premarket trade.* The CEO of AOL Tim Armstrong has been pushing the idea of a sale to Yahoo to top shareholders, which could see the company save $1.5 billion, according to sources with knowledge of the discussions.* Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp has agreed to buy Rolls-Royce Holding's share of the International Aero Engines consortium in a $1.5 billion deal.* Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter, that DuPont Co is seeking buyers for its polyester-film joint venture as well as its powder-based paint business.* European shares slipped in choppy trading in the morning, after recent strong gains, with mining stocks among the biggest casualties after Chinese trade data was weaker than expected.* Asian shares rose on growing optimism that Europe will take concrete steps to contain the region's debt woes and head off a systemic banking crisis* U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday as Europe's progress toward bolstering its financial rescue fund brought more battle-weary investors back into the market.
UPDATE 1-Edison Italian investors still need to agree revamp terms
* Edison shares rise 2.7 pct in flat sector (Adds comments)ROME, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Italian investors in Edison still need to reach common ground on the terms of an agreement to present to French utility EDF for the reorganisation of the Italian utility, a shareholder said on Wednesday.Edison, Italy's No.2 power generator, is jointly controlled by EDF and a group of Italian investors led by regional utility A2A and including smaller peer Iren ."The (industry) minister is waiting for decisions of this kind. We need to reach an agreement to take to EDF," Iren's Chairman Roberto Bazzano said on the sidelines of a conference.EDF, which already owns about 50 percent of Edison, reached an agreement in March with the Italian investors that would give full control of Edison to EDF in return for a series of power generation assets. That deal was blocked by Rome.Press reports on Wednesday said the Italian government had given its nod to an agreement based on the March deal after a meeting between Industry Minister Paolo Romani and EDF head Henri Proglio.The Industry ministry declined to comment.A spokeswoman for EDF said Proglio had met the Italian government last week but gave no further details. She said talks with the Italian investors were ongoing.In September a top A2A executive said Rome was unlikely to stand in the way of a deal.EDF's Proglio has said EDF wants to build its stake in Edison, which also has valuable gas assets.Shares in Edison were up 2.7 percent at 0905 GMT while the European utilities index was up 0.4 percent.A complex shareholder pact between EDF and Edison's Italian investors is due to expire at the end of October."The time is sufficient (to reach a deal) if the will is there," Bazzano said.If Edison shareholders fail to reach agreement on the organisational structure of Edison, a competitive bid for assets could ensue, which would leave EDF in a strong position.

William Calley, the U.S. Army second lieutenant, was convicted on 22 counts of murder in the infamous 1968 My Lai massacre in Vietnam.
At right is the Calley we remember. This Associated Press photo was taken in November 1970 as his Fort Benning trial began.
At left is the Calley who this week, for the first time, apologized for his actions during a question-and-answer session with the Greater Columbus Kiwanis Club. He's no longer the young man who was imprisoned in that black-and-white picture.
The new photo and the following text come via the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer:
"There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day in My Lai," Calley [said]. His voice started to break when he added, "I feel remorse for the Vietnamese who were killed, for their families, for the American soldiers involved and their families. I am very sorry."
Calley now lives in Atlanta with his son. He remains stripped of some of his civil rights:
"No, I

Forever and Always :3(Continued...)I scrambled up, automatically trying to reach him, but he stepped back quickly.D-Dont, Sam.What? I sobbed, on my hands and knees, my heart ripping open again, all fresh, raw edges.Dont touch me. You-You cant. Im--not real.What? I cried. I cant breathe. I dont understand! Daryn, how--Sam, you--you have to move on. Dont waste your life! You cant commit suicide--thats crazy!My stomach was trying to push past my heart, which was lodged in my throat, and my legs seemed to consist only of jelly, but somehow I fought my way onto my feet, wobbling unsteadily. He seemed to sway forward, as if he wanted to help me, but his face twisted with pain; he didnt touch me.Daryn, you--I--youre alive! But I--You died--I saw you--Oh, God, Daryn, its been so hard-- I couldnt seem to form a complete, coherent sentence, e
Forever and Always :2(Continued...)I cant believe your car quit out here, I laugh, swinging our entwined hands between us as we walk down the gravel road.Ugh, I know, he groans. I laugh.Dont sweat it, Dare, I say, moving closer, into his side. He lets go of my hand to wrap his arm around my shoulders and hold me tight against him. Its not your fault. And at least we have a good excuse for getting home late.He laughs and kisses my temple. True, true. But I have a bad feeling. Like somethings gonna happen, Sammy.I smile up at him. Sure its not just the weather, old man?He rolls his eyes skyward but grins. No, its not my bones telling me about the snow storm sneaking up on us. I
I dont know what it is. I just
feel weird.Oh, psh, youre just horny.Sammy, he warns, giving me a stern look that I find oddly hilarious.Im jokin
Vampire's KissI see him standing; he's so very far away. But his beauty still reaches out to me, caressing the very skin of my cheek. My breath left me at the sight of him and such fair, pale skin. His hair is unique, a wonderful mess of deep chocolate tresses with two long strands that frame his too perfect face. His bangs obscure his eyes from me at first, casting a soft shadow over them in the way the dim light of the moon hit him. His lips were twisted into a charming smirk... Beautiful. My heart fluttered. I watched him from afar, frozen on the spot. He was looking toward me. An angel of darkness, staring toward me, smirking at me... silently beckoning me to approach him. My feet obeyed the order though something else within me told me to turn and run. I couldn't listen to that small plea in my mind. It was pushed aside, tossed to the curb like a piece of garbage. I was in a spell now.. under his spell. &
PurityPurity: 1Virginal PurityCaitlyn lifted her glistening blue eyes to the door in front of her, barely visible through the gloom. It creaked slowly open, two hushed male voices debating on the other side. She watched in silence, half-asleep, wondering which one of her captors it was. Maybe they were going to let her go today, maybe they were going to let her outside, at least for a little bit, and under supervision
No, they would never do that, she reminded herself. They couldnt let her be seen. If the government knew that a little girl was being kept in these conditions against her will
The door opened all the way, harsh white light suddenly shining into her cell, creating a small pillar of brightness on the dirty floor. A mans thin frame carved a silhouette into the light on the floor, and she slowly lifted her eyes to the owner of the shadow, ignoring the dark hair that fell in front of her vision; she didn't care anymore.Caitlyn, hi
Don't Wanna Miss a ThingThe Mad Hatter woke up suddenly. He had a nightmare. He dreamt that Alice had hurt him and left him all alone. But he knew the dream wasn't real. Because she is here with him right now. She is sleeping next to him; she had her arms wrapped around his torso, and her head resting on his chest. She is breathing softly, and when she breathes, she reminded the Hatter of a purring kitten. Beauty traced all over her soft face.She's so beautiful, the Hatter thought lovingly. He watches her as she sleeps peacefully; wondering what is she dreaming about.I could stay awake just to hear you breathin'Watch you smile while you are sleepin'While you're far away and dreamin'Both of them were lying together under the apple tree where they usually have their picnics. It was night time. Stars scattered across the dark sky, glittering like diamonds. The evening breeze was cool like early winter. The tree they lay underneath was sitting by a riverbank; Alice and the Mad Hatter would play water games i
10. A Man in a Hat Hatter pulled the band out of my hair, knotting his fingers into the hair just at the back of my neck. I draped my arms around his shoulders, twisting my head to the side, kissing him deeply. After the first kiss, we had giggled together for a bit and promptly left the plaza. We scurried out of there, into the woods. At least we were going in the right direction of where we had been headed for the past few days. It was my first kiss... And better than I had even hoped, actually. Back home I had been different, and there had hardly ever been a chance of a boyfriend. So this was... nice. And weird. And wonderful. I moved my hands, pulling them across his chest. Impulsively, I undid a couple of the buttons on his shirt, unable to stop myself. But that set him off. "N-no. Alice, stop it. We have to stop." He turned his head away from me, loosening the fingers twirled in m
7. A Man in a Hat "But I've really only known him for a day..." "Ah," said Caterpillar, "that's the thing to learn here, about Wonderland. Passion is quick to flare among us. Sometimes it be short to stay, while other times it is there for long. But when one from the upper land comes, and stays, the one with true love is forever long." "Uh... that was... poetic." I flinched when she fingered a lump on my ankle. "Thanks. An old lesson I had to memorize and recite during school as a child. Yeah, that's a sprain, but I don't think anything else. I'll bandage it up and put a brace on it. You should be fine to walk on it on your own in a few hours. "Alice, I'm really being serious, though. Hatter is in love with you and now he always will be. Even if other Wonderlanders take a fancy to you, nothing will ever be near the feelings he has for you. As of yet
11. A Man in a Hat Now I was getting a bit freaked by them. "Because he's my boyfriend, that's why!" "Ah, so young Hatter-" "-is in love?" "That's very-" "-interesting." "Shut up, both of you..." he muttered, holding my hand and walking around them on the path. He hunched his shoulders. "We're leaving. We're leaving now. C'mon, Hatter." Again, I walked past them, but this time I was allowed to go. I glanced back and they were staring at me; I was thoroughly disturbed. "And March, I want you to make certain that- Oh, hello." Hatter and I stopped suddenly on the path, coming face to face with a white-haired man, wearing a tweed jacket and a bow tie. At his side, a thin blond boy was taking notes on a pad of paper, periodically pushing up the over long sleev
9. A Man in a Hat We walked down a wooden path of boards laid down across the sand on the beach. I looked down curiously at the sand; I didn't recognize hardly any of the shells. They must have all been particular to this world. I heard singing nearby and I looked up again. Hatter was frowning heavily, glaring into the distance at a group of people running around in circles. There was a fire, or something, as well. That's what made it easiest to see. The waves crashed around the edge of the beach and it looked as if there was a storm out to sea, but rather nearby... Finally, I could hear the words all the people were singing, "Forward, backward, inward, outward! Come and join the chase, nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus race." "What in the world...?" I breathed, coming closer and closer. Hatter walked stiffly behind me. People in all manner of clo
6. A Man in a Hat "Hatter, where are you going?" "Alice and I are going to the Heart Palace." "WHAT?!" She jumped up and grabbed onto his arm. "You can't! She'll kill you!" "So I've heard..." I, also, tried once more to convince him not to. "Hatter, are you really sure you want to do this? I could always figure it out, or something... I dunno. You really shouldn't." "And give up the chance to insult Jack Heart again?" He snorted. "No way! Besides, Alice you need someone to show you where to go and I am highly doubtful that there are many others who would take it on." "If you say so..." I muttered, kneeling down on the ground and cupping my hands in the water. I took a deep drink. Hatter sat down on the ground by my side, cross-legged. Dormouse sat on her
4. A Man in a HatEight Years EarlierHatter Maddigan I pushed Ches' wheel chair in front of me into the ballroom. "Dad, did she really ask for me?" In front of me, Dad looked back and smiled. "Of course, Hatter. You'll take the name next, so you must meet the queen." "But Dad! You've still got it for a while." He shrugged and continued walking. "I know. But you know the queen..." I nodded and walked a little bit faster. Ches didn't say anything, but she continued stroking Cat who was sitting in her lap, purring as he usually did. Dad stopped by the edge of the room, motioning me forward. I cut through the people at the party and stopped by him and the black door, with a large red heart. "Well, go on through." I gulped and walked forward, waving good-bye to Ches. It was scary, scary, scary.
Forever And Always :1With a .45 against my head, all I could do was laugh.Laugh because I didnt have the guts to pull the trigger.Id thought about this moment constantly, for over a year, planned it out so carefully, meticulously
Id written the note, my final words and confessions, put all my stuff away neatly, even kissed my mom goodbye, which she had been surprised by.Now that I was here, sitting in the very spot where Id died spiritually a year ago, I couldnt do it.Damnit, Sam! Just pull the fucking trigger! I growled at myself. My finger shook, my whole hand shook, but nothing happened. Why couldnt I go through with this? It was all Id wanted, all Id dreamed of, wished for, needed for a year.I felt a tear slide down my cheek and squeezed my eyes shut. Id promised myself Id never cry again, not after what happened. But I was crying now.My hand shook more, my finger tightening on the trigger.I

Overdrive Extra
Jack Roberts
It never hurts to ask
I'm going to give you three quick lessons today. Two of them won't apply to most of you. One of them pretty much applies to all of us
I've had horrible skin my whole life. I'll spare you a list of all the weird crap that's gone wrong over the years. But eczema was – for years and years and years – the worst one.
Eczema's not contagious. But it is miserable. It's basically dry skin. And it cracks open, which hurts. Or it itches like hell, which makes you scratch the living shit out of, which makes it bleed or crack open. It's basically this endless cycle of pain, itch scratch.
And of course there's no cure for it. In fact, doctors can't even agree on what causes it: Is it genetic? An allergy? An immune system thing? They don't have a clue.
Well, as it turns out, I know the cure. So here's the first lesson for today: Somebody told me a few years ago that Omega 3-6-9 would cure eczema. These are basically big pills of fish oil. And there are various types of Omega. But the specific 3-6-9 formulation would do the trick.
Now, I've tried all sort of home remedies over the years and had my doubts. But guess what? It does work. It works really well, in fact. Within three days of taking the first pill, my eczema was gone. For the first time in 4 decades, I didn't have eczema. It was, unbelievable.
So, to recap: Lesson Number 1 for today: If you have eczema, go get some Omega 3-6-9 and give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain
Lesson number two: After awhile, my eczema came back – worse than ever – on my feet. Nowhere else, just my feet. And man, was it bad.
But I didn't go to the doctor and get it checked out.
There were a lot of reasons why: There's really only one dermatologist in Tuscaloosa. And getting in to see him is a major pain in the as..
Besides, I was an expert on eczema. I'd had to all my lift. I'd talked to more doctors than I could count about it. I'd tried every cream and ointment known to man. I'd Googled it and read about it endlessly. And I knew there was no cure.
So I drew some conclusions: The Omega 3-6-9 worked. But it wasn't getting to my feet. They're way down there. And I think I'd heard somebody say something about circulation to the feet being sluggish anyway, which is way diabetics are always having to get theirs amputated. So, I decided, the Omega 3-6-9 worked. It just wasn't strong enough to cure my feet.
Except they kept getting worse.
So, finally, just a few weeks ago, I decided – after putting up with basically having poison ivy on my feet for four years – that maybe I ought to go see the doctor.

A Steel Chassis for a Stronger, Greener Future
HabiTek applies modern materials and technology to age-old post-and-beam construction methods. The system combines the advantages of prefabricated, galvanized steel with the best aspects of conventional wood framing.
HabiTek is a true STEEL + WOOD HYBRID SYSTEM, and the only one of its kind. Our mission is to ease the transition from stick framing to a 21st Century "green" model that focuses on greater durability and longevity, while making building faster and less laborious.
The HabiTek system leverages the economy of prefabrication and the strength of steel to create homes suited for applications on marginal lands like flood plains, coastal regions prone to hurricanes & rising sea levels, and seismically-active zones. See our completed projects to see what makes Habitek's modular system unique.
Read dispatches on the efforts to Rebuild Haiti:
key featuresInterchangeable: A high degree of standardization means most components can be positioned anywhere within the framework. Components minimize handedness with symmetry in at least two directions, reducing concern for which side or end is up.
Expandable: The framework can be configured for future expansion.
Pre-engineered: All frameworks are custom engineered. When components are bolted together, the framework achieves the required structural integrity; making it virtually self-inspecting.
Transportable: HabiTek components are close-packed for intermodal delivery.
Manageable: All components are sized to be handled by two able-bodied persons; no heavy machinery is required. Further, components are pre-punched to receive the same diameter bolt. Bolts are secured with nuts that can be finger turned, and tightened using one combination spud wrench and ratchet.
Reusable: In the case of transitional or emergency housing, components can be disassembled and re-used for permanent structures.
Subsystem Compatibility: Holes are provided in components for wiring and plumbing.
Fit and Finish Flexibility: Finishing out a HabiTek framework is done largely in the conventional way (sheetrock, siding, roofing, etc.). Infill panels, whether framed in situ or provided by HabiTek in the form of pre-fabricated panels, are fastened to the steel chassis using tek screws and/or air-driven pins.
Do It Yourself (DIY): In the case of smaller structures, most mechanically-inclined laypersons can assemble a HabiTek framework as a high-tech barn raising.
Read about other benefits and features of the system.
coming soonHabiTek is now preparing to bring 200 square feet micro-cabin frameworks to do-it-yourselfers for purchase. One example of the chassis selections we will offer is shown on the left. Other kits will include a flat roof version, and a chassis elevated on piers. The image on the right is just one example of how HabiTek's bolt-together "erector-set"-like chassis can be finished out by owner-builders. Check back soon for how-to-purchase information.
Best regards,
Greg Higgins, Managing Director, firstname.lastname@example.com

Careers & Networking
The WEP Career Connections give students an opportunity to gain engineering experience and network with engineers and recruiters in industry. Through undergraduate research (GLUE), undergraduate seminars (WEP Career Connections Seminar and WEP Leadership Seminar) and the annual WEP Evening with Industry Banquet, students gain the career connections needed to make informed career choices and the networks needed to achieve career goals.
Consider Every Option (CEO)
Consider Every Option (CEO) is open to engineering students who wish to explore the many career paths you can take with your engineering degree, including some non-traditional choices.
Evening with Industry Banquet
The annual WEP Evening with Industry Banquet is a networking event hosted by the Women in Engineering Program. More than 40 companies and 425 students, faculty and industry representatives are expected to attend each year.
Graduates Linked with Undergraduates in Engineering (GLUE)
The Graduates Linked with Undergraduates in Engineering (GLUE) program gives undergraduate students the opportunity to gain introductory, practical research experience through working with a graduate student mentor.
Participation is limited to 24 undergraduates, and open to all degree seeking engineering majors who have never done research, who are in good academic standing. Undergraduate participants gain valuable research/work experience by:
- assisting their graduate mentor with research projects for 3-5 hours per week during the semester
- participating in a weekly seminar class for two pass/fail credit hours (Tuesdays, 3:30 - 5 p.m.)
Undergraduate Application Procedures:
- The sucessful applicant will be in the process of completing:
- at least 24 hours of basic sequence course work
- 8 hours of calculus (M408C/D or M408K/L/M) and 8 hours of physics (PHY303K/L & PHY 103M/N).
- a minimum 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.0 major GPA
- one full semester of engineering at UT Austin, if a transfer student
- Applicants will be asked to select and attend an information session where we will discuss your research interests to determine the best graduate match for you;matches are usually interdisciplinary in nature, meaning that you may be working with a graduate student in a different department.
- Please answer all application questions for your application to be fully considered.
- Successful applicants will be notified prior to registration for the following semester and must confirm acceptance of their match/spot by the appropriate deadline.
Spring 2015 applications are open! Apply here!
Additional information to consider...
Graduate Student Mentors
Graduate mentors participating in the program are able to help undergraduates learn about the research process, discuss and showcase what it's like to be in graduate school, gain valuable mentoring and teaching experience and participate in targeted career development workshops. This unique experience is a valuable experience that can be a tremendous asset to your resume. First year grad students are encouraged to wait a year before participating, since a defined and active research project is most beneficial in the program. PhD students in the final phases of their dissertation may have difficulty having well defined research to provide to the undergraduate student. The duration of the program is the fall semester only.
GLUE is a very selective program, targeting 2nd year undergraduate women, with the goal of increasing the number of women who pursue graduate study and academic careers in engineering. The undergraduate population that is selected are very high achieving students who are ultra motivated to have an undergraduate research experience and who have excellent GPAs. Selected undergraduate participants are notified in mid-March since they must register for fall classes in late March. Graduate and undergraduate matching information, as well as additional logistical information, is provided after Spring Break.
Mentors should:
- be willing to work with their undergraduate mentee for about 5 hours per week
- meet weekly with their mentee to direct the research
- include the mentee in research meetings/seminars/etc. when appropriate/available
- introduce the mentee to other graduate students and their faculty mentor
- have an organized, defined research topic to give to the mentee to work on during the semester; this can be a small part of your research or a replication of some work already completed
- assist the mentee with the development of their research poster and presentations
- be supportive of WEP's mission to encourage more women to enter an academic career
Graduate Students Apply Here!
WEP is partnering with the e-mentoring network for diversity in engineering and science to give students an opportunity to network with great mentors from all around the country.

Inspiration for this track was Alain Braxe sp1200 style and Homework/Alive 1997 by Daft punk and other good'ol French Touch tracks.
Imagine being in 1999 and making a track on old gear with all the power to the groove and lots of filters and audio compression.

Show Boat (1936)
Alternate title: Showboat
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
1 Readers' Reviews
February 13th, 20075:56 pm
Of all the filmed Show Boat versions, this one most satisfies. The main reason is fidelity to the original material, a result, undoubtadly, of its chronological closeness to the first stage production. Thus we get to see a wide range of authentic performing styles--most notably those of original cast members Charles Winninger and the divine Helen Morgan--actually near-extinct by the time the film appeared.
And there is the glorious music, of course, offered here without the varnish--or lyric-censoring--that later versions applied. Add to this the vis-a-vis of Paul Robeson, who provides the definitive Ol' Man River, and Hattie McDaniel, cutting up superbly, and one enjoys a wonderfully entertaining, deeply resonant musical film.

In my last column, I detailed Dr. Annette Bosworth's surprise visit to our studios this morning. Shortly after leaving, she posted this video titled "Wake Up America" to her Facebook page .
I've just had the opportunity to watch it. She should have titled it, "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me".
The first 7.5 minutes are an agonizing, completely self-serving tale of her battle against "the entrenched powers". She tells her story through the eyes of her son.
During the last few minutes, Bosworth finally gets around to mentioning the challenges to her petition signatures. I thought it a bit over the top when she asks, "...will Satan plant just the right people to sabotage" her campaign?
"The ballots to mommy's campaign get challenged, not once, not twice, but three times. And the government, the entrenched government, sends their people to knock on the doors of the religious leaders on the petition to confirm, 'Did you really sign this? Are you really supporting her?' That's where our tax dollars are being spent? Is to investigate 'Did you really sign this'?
The entrenched power. What will they do to keep their power? To hold on? America we need to rise up...to stand up."
The campaign has gone on long enough that it's easy to see the Bosworth pattern now. She responds to every scandal as a victim of circumstances or the "entrenched powers". Nothing is her fault. Satan, you see, is conspiring to defeat her.
That's a pretty hard case to make when one of Bosworth's biggest critics in recent weeks has been Republican state representative, and pastor, Steve Hickey. It was Hickey who filed the challenge to Bosworth's petition signatures and questioned her Christian values.
It's a complete mystery to me how anyone can listen to this self-serving pandering diatribe and feel Annette Bosworth is competent to serve in the United States Senate.
My lone thought was, "Wow, the wheels are really coming off."

You were originally drawn to Australian Rules football, what inspired your move to swimming?It was a tough decision to stop playing footy because of the demands on my body, but at the same time I realised that I didn't want to all of a sudden become a spectator. I attended the Talent Identification program run by the Australian Paralympic Committee and swimming was my strength on the day, so it encouraged me to see how far I could really go with it. What went through your mind when you found that you'd won a world record at the Australian swimming championships in 2010 and 2011?It was a relief for me because my coach Brad Harris and I had worked so hard for it during pre-season and I knew it was going to take every ounce of energy for me to pull it off. After relief comes the excitement knowing you're a world record holder. Although I was so excited on that night, to my disappointment the 100m breastroke is not a Paralympic event, which meant that I had to perfect the 50m Breaststroke, and not the 100m, which has been my toughest challenge yet. So you could imagine the mixed feelings I had! You hope to make your Paralympic debut at London 2012. Would being an Olympian change you?(I'm) the happiest man alive. It won't change me a great deal but it will give me and I hope others great confidence of what can really be achieved when you put in the hard yards. There's a saying that I've come across, "There's no substitute for hard work" and I'm a great believer with hard work comes success (and in some unfortunate circumstances failures) but either way you'll benefit from what you've put in. How do you train and strengthen your mental agility as well as working on your physical agility?I have a very driven family who always do their best to overcome their daily challenges. I can't help but feed from that sort of energy. When I swam at the Para Pan Pacifics in Canada, I had witnessed other athletes who were less fortunate than I was with respect to their physical capacities. There was an athlete in the championship that could only use her arms to propel her body through the water and she inspired me because she raced in that type of condition. Alex (from my club) helps me with my strength and condition and I would be very feeble if it wasn't for him.What motivates you right before a big race?The amount of support I have from everyone I know. When my family are in the stand cheering for me as loudly as they possibly can it definitely gives me that extra confidence. My coach Brad, who is always so enthusiastic and positive, helps me remain calm. My wonderful club, Melbourne Vicentre, that always supports me during training and competitions. Those are the things that go through my head to motivate me before a big race. What are you competitive in outside swimming?I recently downloaded Temple Run, which is an iPhone game and I'm extremely competitive against this poor 12-year-old. I'm currently the highest scorer and it's going to remain that way (I hope).What would you say to anyone looking to overcome physical obstacles?Never to be afraid to give something a go because you'll gain so much from just the small attempt. It doesn't always have to be successful. I wasn't a successful footy player but I gave it my best shot and I loved every second - even some of the bruises I copped! Also, never let your physical appearance discourage you in public because if a person is genuine, they will be more interested in your capabilities rather than your inabilities. Is there anywhere in London you are most curious/or can't wait to visit?I really can't wait to see the Aquatic Centre and I've always wanted to go in the London Eye. Where/how do you like to holiday?Our family friends have a houseboat at Lake Eildon. I find it a great place to wind down and have some fun around the water with the family rather than the competitive side of it. I have a goal to one day figure out how I can drive their Jet Ski. Where will we be seeing you in five years?If I'm not a Qantas pilot then, I'd like to study sports journalism and assist the AFL broadcasting team or swimming. I would also like to get more involved with the community by assisting others like myself to be involved in sport.
Ahmed Kelly was a passionate AFL player, but in 2008 turned his attention to swimming, because of the toll football had taken on his body. A short year later, Ahmed competed in Darwin at his first international competition, the 2009 Oceania Paralympic Championships. Ahmed went on to set back-to-back World Records at the Australian Championships in 2010 and 2011, for the 100m Breaststroke.
Ahmed hopes to make an impact in future competition by drawing on the strength and support of his mother, brother, and twin sisters. Moira is Ahmed's, and Ahmed's brother, Emmanuel's adopted mother. Moira met the boys at the Baghdad orphanage where they had grown up and brought them back to Australia for medical treatment. Trishna and Krishna are Ahmed's adopted twin sisters, who provide him with a constant source of courage, as in 2009 the girls were separated in a 27 hour surgery.
He set the World Record at both the 2010 and 2011 Australian Championships for the100m breaststroke and is going for the gold during his Paralympic debut in London.
In the lead-up to the Olympics, the East End– Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Hackney, Whitechapel, Mile End, Hoxton and Stratford – is quickly emerging as one of the city's best kept secrets.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau launched an inquiry into financial fraud and abuse against senior citizens Thursday, as studies showing that scams against the elderly are becoming more prevalent. Senior citizens lost $2.9 billion to financial abuse in 2010, a 12 percent increase from 2009, according to research from MetLife. 58 percent of respondents to a survey conducted by Investors Protection Trust said they encounter financial exploitation or fraud targeted at seniors "quite often" or "somewhat often," and 96 percent consider it a "serious problem." The CFPB is now seeking public comments about whether seniors are getting adequate financial education, and for examples of how they are being exploited.

The Seven Principles
The Spiritualist National Union, to whom we are affiliated, asks us to accept seven principles to guide us in our daily lives. There are several different Spiritualist organisations in the world and each have their own principles. Although similar, there are differences in content and in the way these principles are expressed. The SNU's principles are the oldest, and perhaps, the simplest formulation.
1) The Fatherhood of God
2) The Brotherhood of Man
3) The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels
4) The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul
5) Personal Responsibility
6) Compensation and Retribution Hereafter for all the Good or Evil Deeds done on Earth
7) Eternal Progress open to Every Human Soul
^ Back to top
The Seven Principles Explained
The Fatherhood of God
God is our father, we acknowledge that fact; God created life and we are part of that life. God is the creative force, which manifests directly or indirectly, in all things and we know this power as God. Spiritualism defines God as no man. Therefore there are no limitations on the creator of our planet and the Universe.
God is the force, which created the world of nature, it is this force that created life in all its forms and continues to keep our very existence in a state of balance allowing creation to continue to grow, develop and renew. When we speak of "The Father", we are referring to God the creator of life.
The Brotherhood of Man
We all come from the same universal life source, one enormous, divine family, and a brotherhood where all mankind must learn to give in order to receive so that the balance in all our lives is achieved and maintained.
We must act as a family, embrace all of humanity, provide a community for mutual comfort and support; provide for the spiritual needs not just the material needs of our fellow creatures. Share our joys and our burdens, help each other to grow strong and become worthy of our relationship within the Family of God.
The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels
All religions believe in some form of life after death, but it is only Spiritualism that continually proves this fact by demonstrating that communication with departed spirits can and does take place. The Communion of Spirits is the key Principle of Modern Spiritualism. Our loved ones, friends and relatives in spirit make contact through mediumship at every opportunity, to check on our welfare, reassure us that they are still with us and they still care about us. There are also spirit people and spirit teachers who have dedicated their lives to the welfare and service of mankind, bringing inspiration and teachings, whilst others work within the healing ministry.
God's Law never changes, but Spiritualists understanding of them does, as they gain experience. Neither Spirit nor Energy can be destroyed but their form can and does alter. The creative force and the individual are eternal.
The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul
Spirit, as part of the Creative Force is indestructible. It has been scientifically proven that matter, being part of the creative force, or energy, cannot be destroyed. When our physical body dies, the spirit continues as an integral part of a spirit world, which sees and understands our world, but exists in a different dimension.
In the Spirit World we have a spirit body which looks like our earthy body until we have progressed in the spirit realms. We are the same individuals, with the same characteristics and personalities which can only change by progression through our own efforts. Our responsibilities do not stop after death. The evidence for Continuous Existence is overwhelming and this proof can be experienced at every Spiritualist service, through the communication of mediums, and in development circles that take place throughout the world.
Personal Responsibility
We are all responsible for our own individual wrongful thoughts and deeds. We all know the difference between right and wrong and we are responsible for every aspect of our life. We have freewill, freedom of choice. No one can interfere with our spiritual development, unless we allow it.
The individual can only achieve spiritual progression by his or her own willingness to take responsibility. We have to have the willingness to live up to our positive powers of goodness and changes in our spiritual surroundings.
Compensation and Retribution hereafter for all the good and evil deeds done on Earth
The natural laws of Cause and Effect, as you sow, so shall you reap, what goes around, comes around, and they are paramount in this principle. You cannot be cruel and vindictive towards others and expect love and acceptance in return.
This law starts now, on earth, today; the spirit world does not wait until you get there before Compensation and Retribution are given out. We have to keep a perfect balance between the action and reaction both here and the hereafter, whilst resolving the contradictions somewhere in the middle.
Eternal Progress open to every Human Soul
Every human spirit possesses the power to progress in love and wisdom. We each have to accept Personal Responsibility for our own individual development as we walk along our spiritual path. Progress demands sacrifice and is never easy, but spiritual blessings are the reward for the effort made.
These efforts stimulate finer vibrations within each soul, which in turn builds the divine spiral of spiritual progression even higher in this life and the life to come. If we do our very best in this life, then our progress in the next will be easier. Within the Family of God we are all given the opportunity to be responsible for our own eternal progress.

The History of the Seven Principles
How were the Seven Principles received and by whom?
|Emma Hardinge Britten was born in 1823 in the East End of London. She is one of the most renowned and respected advocates of Spiritualism working in the early Modern Spiritualist Movement.
Emma was a spiritualist medium who travelled the world giving public talks on the philosophy of Spiritualism. She was often in a light trance state; she allowed her spirit guides to inspire her words or even to speak directly through her.
In 1855 Emma first visited America, it was in that year that she met a Spiritualist couple who persuaded her to have a sitting with a medium. This experience changed her life and Emma discovered she had a mediumship gift.
In 1871, by which time Emma Hardinge Britten was one of the founders of the SNU, she received a message through mediumship from Robert Owen who was a well known Welsh philanthropist, social reformer and one of the founders of socialism and the co-operative movement in the UK and America.
|Robert Owen had passed to spirit in 1858; his message was given to Emma some years later, and contained 5 Principles of Spiritualism. It was the SNU who revised them for better understanding into the Seven Principles we have today.
Emma Hardinge Britten died in 1899; most historians agree that, as a propagandist for Spiritualism, she was unequalled in her zeal, commitment and enthusiasm.
Her dream of establishing a proper and formal 'School of Prophets' training school for mediums was realised in 1900, with the founding of the Britten Memorial Institute and Library, in Manchester. Sadly Emma was not a citizen of this world when this happened, although

Why not: A Mac mini inside an Apple Disk ][ enclosure
During last night's talkcast, we debated the validity of the most recent Mac mini rumors. I was in the "No Way" camp. I'm sure there's a new mini in the works, but I don't think that's it. At least, the machine depicted in that video isn't what will be offered to customers. I mean ... five USB...

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota House committee has approved a proposed statewide ban on texting while driving.
House Speaker Brian Gosch of Rapid City initially introduced a bill that sought to prevent local governments from passing and enforcing their own distracted driving ordinances. But at a committee hearing last week, he changed the bill to ban texting while driving statewide.
The bill says local officials would still be banned from passing their own distracted driving ordinances - something Gosch says existing law already prevents them from doing.
Gosch's bill would enact a state law that would replace stronger bans passed by some cities.
The bill would make it a petty offense, carrying a $25 fine, to text while driving.
The Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to send the measure to the full House.

Written by Ben ParafinaI arrived on a quiet afternoon, campus had emptied out now that fall break had hit full swing. Classes had been empty and my usual routine of abstaining from breakfast left me with a distinct hunger. They say that hunger is the ultimate spice. But they also say that all brown things taste the same.I would not lie to you. I am a doctor.As we entered we were presented with a down-home, cafeteria-style setting that indeed made me feel right at home. The normally friendly and engaging staff was mysteriously absent, and this particular evening it was self-serve. This took away from the normally exciting and engaging atmosphere, but the fine Sodexho staff needs a break too.I heaped onto my plate rice, then topped it with Caribbean style Ratatouille. Following that I scraped up two chicken thighs to accompany it as well as some peas to join the whole medley. A cup of tortilla soup was next, served into a small soup cup onto an earthy brown carry tray, which provided such a sense of class and feeling.As we sat down to eat in a plush booth seat conversation began. Beverages were self-serve as well so I mixed myself a number picked up from a friend that consists of half cranberry half orange juice.I took a sip, sized up my food and began. The chicken was essentially chickeny. I found it to be tender, if a bit pink. My friend remarked, "I don't think it's cooked all the way," and some base part of me wondered the same.As I finished the first thigh and moved to the second I remember thinking that only time will tell, and I imagined myself clutching a toilet cursing the cafeteria as I relived my meal moment by moment. Thankfully that never occurred, and I'm happy to report that the kitchen is very clean.Instead the tender chicken was fine, if not a bit bland, and the entree was better than it had been in some time.The chicken carried a few distinct flavors, such as salty and meaty, which was pleasant. The Ratatouille, described as Caribbean, consisted of a vegetable medley with pineapple trapped in a mysterious sauce, which was essentially edible.Mixed with rice it even became, nutritious—or perhaps simply no longer needed the usual addition of copious amounts of Sriracha sauce.All in all my meal was pleasant, the food was passable and the atmosphere fine. My soup, which by some turn events became the finale to my meal was probably the best part. I feel biased here, as I find soup to be the most promising part of the cafeteria besides the tortillas, which are orgasmic if you haven't tried them yet.The tortilla soup was excellent. The medley of chicken broth and overabundance of pepper which inevitably leaks into all the soups in the cafeteria blended magnificently with the soggy crispy tortilla chips.The trace amounts of chicken and vegetable matter left me with something to ruminate over between bites of soggy chip.They might have even snuck a tomato in there. There was a palatable absence in the cafeteria that evening. My friends and I the only students, we spoke with bravado and gusto and stared into our deserts.The thing about deserts in the cafeteria is that it's always a crapshoot. The display case is almost always a wash, the various Jell-o and puddings carrying the taste and consistency of paste, yet the cookies as well as the cakes sometimes carry gems. Today was not one of those days.The cake I had carried a mealy consistency and the middle filling was vanilla pudding. Due to the extended weekend the soft serve machine was shut down by some stroke of genius, leaving me without recourse. I trudged back to the desert case, and stared into a deep, sugar coated abyss. I picked up a chocolate chip cookie, remembering the old adage – KISS, keep it simple, stupid.The Cafeteria never billed itself as a high-class establishment, and lacks the charm of a greasy spoon but in the role of keeping this writer fed, caffeinated, and not contemplating squirrel kabobs, it does a fine job. Plus, it's free (for those with meal plans)!

Alpha of Oklahoma Chapter Information
|The Alpha of Oklahoma Chapter was established on May 24, 1920. An article in The Daily Transcript of Norman, Oklahoma on May 20, 1920, described what was to take place:
Constitution and Bylaws (pdf)
There is no application process for Phi Beta Kappa. Apart from a very small number of juniors, only those students who are graduating seniors in the College of Arts & Sciences, College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences, College of International Studies, Gaylord College of Journalism & Mass Communication, and ConocoPhillips School of Geology & Geophysics who have a 3.60 GPA or better and who have applied for graduation are considered for membership. A chapter committee then reviews the academic records of each student, focusing on the quality and distribution of coursework and the breadth of academic experience in the social sciences, humanities, language, mathematics, and natural science. Each year in early April the final selected students are invited to chapter membership. Summer and December graduates are considered for membership in the spring semester, along with the spring graduates.
See Bylaws, Section III, "Election and Admission of New Members."
The Alpha of Oklahoma Chapter is fortunate to have endowed awards that provide funding for several scholarships offered each year to outstanding juniors and seniors in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Register for Deposit of PILT Payments by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Municipalities and other taxing authorities now have the option of receiving their PILT payments via EDI which directly deposits funds into the taxing authority's bank account.
EDI offers a fast, secure and reliable alternative to the issuance and processing of printed cheques. You will receive an information stub from the bank as well as a written explanation of the payment amount from your Regional PILT Office around the time of the deposit.
There are two implications of EDI of which you should be aware:
- A Procurement Business Number (PBN) for PILT Payments only is a prerequisite: The Procurement Business Number, or PBN, is a standard identifier for doing business with the federal government, so the taxing authority may already have a PBN. However, to use EDI for deposit of PILT payments to the taxing authority's bank account, a unique PBN, used for PILT payments only, is required. It must be distinct from other PBNs your taxing authority may have for receiving other payments from PWGSC. If your taxing authority does not have a PBN for PILT payments specifically, it must obtain one by registering in the Supplier Registration Information (SRI) system or by phone at 1-800-811-1148.
- You will need to verify if your Financial Institution offers EDI and what fee is charged as fees vary from one institution to another.
To register for the receipt of PILT Payments by EDI your taxing authority will need to complete the following form:
- Registration form
Open and print the registration form, complete off-line and return to your Regional PILT Office by mail or fax. The addresses of all our regional offices are at the bottom of the registration form.
Note: Prior to making your first EDI payment, PWGSC will do an initial payment of $10.01 to ensure that the money is deposited to the correct account. Your Financial Institution must be aware of this initial payment.
