If you and your group wish to comment on the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application, the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BOZA) public hearing is the most important place to make your case.
Notification of the BOZA public hearing is made in several ways:
In addition, neighborhood groups that have registered with Planning and Design Services are notified 7 days prior to the public hearing. BOZA hearings are normally held on the first and third Monday of each month at the Old Jail Building, 514 W. Liberty Street, at 8:30 a.m.
There are no time limits for any speakers. You will want to publicize the date and time of the BOZA public hearing throughout your neighborhood so that all interested parties can attend.
It is often helpful to hold a meeting in the neighborhood prior to the hearing to decide who is going to be the spokesperson, what consultants will speak, what their order will be, what subjects must be covered, and to request that letters be sent to the Commission. If you have decided to hire a land-use attorney, he or she should attend this meeting.
Before the BOZA hearing, speakers can obtain a complete agenda for the day from the staff person. This will give you some idea of when your case may be called. Be sure to advise the BOZA staff in advance if you want to use VCR tapes or a Power Point projector for your presentation. The public hearing is a formal format, staff will present the proposal, the developer and/or attorney will present the reasons the CUP should be granted, and the public is given the opportunity to state agreement or disagreement, suggest alternatives and give reasons for their position. The developer is then allowed a rebuttal to your remarks.
It is critical that your comments be factual, well organized, and based on the Cornerstone 2020 Comprehensive Plan. You should have alternative suggestions in mind and be prepared to respond quickly to questions or suggestions from the Board. All information pertaining to this case that will be the basis for decision by the Board must come from the public hearing or be submitted prior to the public hearing, so be certain that all your points are submitted in writing at the hearing as they cannot be added later.
After all testimony is heard, the Board will go into business session and vote to approve or deny the proposal, continue the hearing to a later date, or defer action. When a hearing is continued to a later date, the Board will accept additional testimony. When action has been deferred, the case is placed on a subsequent docket under "business session" for deliberation, and no additional testimony is allowed.

Nivio, a cloud computing company providing IT solutions to small and medium businesses, announced the release of its new comprehensive IT offering, Nivio for business. The integrated platform combines Windows desktops, networked storage, easy user management, and an app store that enables instant provisioning of essential business applications such as Microsoft Office.
Nivio for business addresses a prominent issue for all organizations: mobile access. With analysts projecting tablet sales in excess of 1.2 billion in 2013, all SMBs are trying cope with providing a consistent BYOD strategy without threatening security or adding complexity. Nivio users can quickly and easily access their cloud-based Windows desktop, plus all their files and software, on nearly any device; from iOS and Android tablets and smartphones to Chromebooks, Kindle Fires, and even public or shared computers.
Nivio provides maintenance, security, licensing, and upgrades. All business IT needs are covered end-to-end with minimal setup or management. "SMBs are faced with technology problems that are increasingly complex and costly to manage – everything from BYOD and mobile access, to dealing with security threats and different versions of different software," said Frank Houghton, CEO of Nivio. "Solving these challenges is nearly impossible without a dedicated IT department, and few SMBs have that luxury. Using Nivio, businesses can concentrate on what they do well and leave the rest to us."
From an IT standpoint, setting up an office could easily take days, but with Nivio, businesses can get set up in minutes without any hardware or infrastructure. Administrators can use the control panel interface to add users, set storage permissions, and instantly give staff access to more than 40 software applications and suites like Microsoft Office. The end user just logs in to Nivio to access their Windows computing experience on the device of their choosing.
Mobile and remote access is also a seamless experience. Users simply download a small app to their device or log in to their Nivio account through the HTML 5 web interface to access their fully-functional Windows desktop, files, and full versions of all their software.
In the face of a rapidly changing technology environment, SMBs need reliable systems at a fixed cost. "With Google charging for Google Apps, it only underscores the importance of what SMBs have known all along: that having a premium and reliable service available when you need it is worth paying for. The SMB is an important market sector for technology as they tend to be more nimble and take savvy approaches to solving every day business problems," said Houghton. "Online productivity applications have their place, but typically offer a compromised experience. Users need a seamless experience where they can easily interact with other applications; a Windows-based hosted desktop with integrated shared storage and mobile device support. Nivio does just that."
Product highlights:
- Create virtual Windows desktops on-demand as businesses add users.
- Windows with Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more on nearly any device via a downloaded application (for iOS, Android, PCs, and Mac), or via the Nivio HTML 5 web interface.
- Rent software, including Microsoft Office, for low monthly fees. Rent it by the month only when it is needed. All software provisioned within Nivio is fully licensed with all updates and maintenance managed are covered.
- Manage accounts with the administrative control panel interface. Create new desktops, provision software, manage storage and permissions, monitor usage, and run reports.
- Built-in networked storage via the company share virtual file server. Store and share files, set access permissions, and add storage as your business grows.
- Share files via nDrive, our built-in file sharing and storage functionality which synchronizes files across devices, and makes sharing and collaborating easy.
- Nivio customer support is available around the clock to all customers at no added cost.
- Data, files, and activities are protected against viruses, malware and security breaches, so staff can access data anywhere with confidence.

FOXBOROUGH — It was raining and cold. It was easy for the ball to slip out of a player's grip. It happened so often to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (four) that the team had him adjust the placement of his hands.
Fortunately for the 49ers, they lost just one of their six fumbles. The Patriots lost both of their fumbles.

One of the most popular interviews of 2013 was our talk with astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield. His poetic descriptions of life in space caused a lot of "driveway moments" for our listeners. Here he talks about claustrophobia in space:
"They don't want claustrophobic astronauts, so NASA is careful through selection to try to see if you have a natural tendency to be afraid of small spaces or not. Really, it's good if you've managed to find a way to deal with all of your fears, especially the irrational ones. So during selection in fact, they zip you inside a ball, and they don't tell you how long they're going to leave you in there. I think if you had tendencies toward claustrophobia then that would probably panic you and they would use that as a discriminator to decide whether they were going to hire you or not. For me, being zipped inside a small, dark place for an indeterminate amount of time was just a great opportunity and nice time to think and maybe have a little nap and relax, so it doesn't bother me. But you can get claustrophobia and agoraphobia — a fear of wide open spaces — simultaneously on a spacewalk."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
First, I love the post. I never got around to reading the comics, but I had most of the story via friends and wowwikki already :)
There are two things that immediately come to mind for how Cho'gal could return. One is the literal return of him.
As far as I've read, we really don't know the full extent of Cho'gal's transformation or what powers were granted to him. For all we know, the Old God could have given him the ability to regenerate (this would even make sense so the Old God could punish failures repeatedly for eternity). What happened to the scraps of Cho'gal after the fight with Med'an? Though I agree that there are a few too many "only a set back" in WoW these days....
Another possibility that has not yet occurred in WoW lore, but has happened in Earth History is that the name becomes a title. Allow me to explain: Cho'gal was the first leader of the Twilight's Hammer. Through the entire existence up to this point, he was the absolute leader of these mortals. As far as I know of, he was the first mortal to wish the complete destruction of Azeroth and the release of the Old Gods. It is conceivable that the combination of him being the first believer, the unquestioned leader for so long, his great zeal for the cause, and his further transformation by the Old God has made his name mean more than the ogre-mage he once was. It has grown to be the title for the leadership of the Twilight's Hammer.
In Earth history we see this happening. For example: Julius Caesar was the first emperor of Rome (technically he labeled himself as "dictator for life" and his heir, Augustus, was the first to take the title of Emperor; but my point is he was the first to rule above the power of the Senate). After that the line of Roman Emperors took the title "Caesar" when they took the position of rulership (some may claim this was a last name, but this is incorrect. Julius Caesar's family line was known as the Julian-Claudian line. Also emperors who were not descendants took the title "Caesar" as well.) This trend even extends to rulers of lands formerly part of the Roman Empire (for example: "Czar" from pre-revolution Russia and also "Kaiser" from the German Empires).
Another way to phrase it: "He's the next Cho'gal"
TL:DR He could have regenerated thanks to his Old God master, or the name "Cho'gal" could have evolved to become the title for the zealous and absolute (mortal) leader of the Twilight's Hammer forces.
I was thinking, that maybe the time lines needs a bit cleaning up. In the sence , that the point when Chogall dies has just to happen (we expirianced events in Azeroth not unfolding in the same chronological way as they are published in realworld, although they almost always do).
Or, what could make more sense. Is that,yes, he did get resurected by the Old Gods. Such a feat is trivial for them, expecially for a person that was already heavily imbued with their power/corruption.
Also, I doubt he was the first mortal wishing for Azeroths total destrucion. He sought the end of the world already on Dreanor. If I remmember, than the Twillights hammer Clan was an apocalypsic one even back then. (note- the clan was wiped out near Sargeras' tomb, what we see now is a new-born cult)

The people who make these movies are really making money off of everyone who are clueless to the lack thereof of the last films. The fact that they make a film every year near Halloween is what really gather folks to the movies to catch folks around their pretend to be scared faze for the sake of Halloween.
I mean really, each film gives you tiny bits of furniture moving and the most dumb and questionable ooohh's and aaahhh's in which we'd seen in many other films, but folks are so retarded, and yes I said retarded, to get shocked to see such same things in this film. Really? Folks Really?
Then they show you the commercials of people screaming in the audiences. I bet that every last person in the audiences were special screening for folks that were mentally challenged and would scream at anything. They all looked special I swear.
In conclusion, I'm mad because I wasted my money and realized I sat through another one of their "pocket money empty bucket" horror films. One that had a beginning to boredom and a ending to stupidity.

LOL!!! I´ve only seen the first movie, and it seemes like nothing has changed yet... the first movie vas soooo boring, nothing happend, when it was finished I were so supprised how in hell anybody could call it horror.. and by judging by your comment, they really have´nt learn a thing.. I did not even know that there were a number 4 untill now, did´nt even know about nr 2 or 3, how do they manage to convince anyone to make any more movies after the extreamly bad number one, that for me is the only scary thing in all this! :-D

It could also be that your RBC/LEA has decided to block NTP?
You should be using your RBC's NTP box. These are in turn using either UKERNA's boxes or from the pool.

Does User Experience Save/Make Money?
So, try as I might, being a new UX developer, I'm trying to find reputable data about reputable companies who saved/made [insert actual dollar figure], and how usability testing was responsible. I was actually told at work today that "there is no way you can prove that usability testing makes money." It's a personal challenge now.
In all seriousness, you would think with all of the UX advocacy, that there would be solid numbers to back up the proclamations. There has to be, right? I mean, there are TONS of UX and IxD jobs out there being justified somehow. Can you help me sell UX to my boss?
Here are a couple resources I've used in the past:
Hope that's helpful!
Great resources.
To agree... I would say with confidence that usability >= cash. Well, on the web...
I have been conducting split testing (actually multivariate conversion rate optimization experiments) for the past few years.
When I sit down and start mapping out a plan for testing, the first things I plan to test are usability-related, before I test persuasion/tone/feel, or anything else for that matter.
For Example: Correct text that matches link text in typographical
treatment (I often see 'highlight text' using the same color as link text).
If the conversion goal happens to be a sale, the results of the experiment very clearly show the difference in the number of sales, between the old baseline, and the new top-performing combination of page elements/design.
This is by no means a complete number, but it shows the obvious profits gained from usability-focused improvements, for the scope of the experiment.

Hi Kevin
IBM apparently redesigned one of their website following UXD principles and the result was: In the first week after the redesign, use of the 'help' button decreased 84%, while sales increased 400%. Source: Bob Tedeschi, 'Good Web Site Design Can Lead to Healthy Sales', New York Times.

Hope these help sell the benefits of UXD to your boss.
This is a fantastic case study on the relationship of UX and $$$. Jared Spool calls this his 300 million dollar button. I used this article as the opening slides to my recent presentation on UX and analytics:http://www.uie.com/articles/three_hund_million_button/
Hope this helps.Archana

Mulder drove away from the scene of the crash with the child still inside the vehicle.
Deputies say Mulder then headed to Duhme Road and the Tom Stuart Causeway, where the 7-year-old exited the vehicle. Mulder drove away leaving the child in the median. Another witness saw the child and called 911.
The suspect then headed north on 113th Street where he struck two vehicle that were stopped side by side at the light at Park Boulevard. Deputies say Mulder tried to pass between them when he struck them from behind. The two drivers 18-year-old Zachary Barrett and 21-year-old Rebekah Trout were treated on scene for minor injuries and subsequently transported themselves to local hospitals for further medical treatment. Mulder then backed up, went around the crashed vehicles and continued north on 113th.

Mulder was impaired and was arrested for leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, child abuse, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, driving under the influence and driving with license suspended/revoked.
Mulder was transported to the Pinellas County Jail. His photo will be available once the booking process is complete.

Bayern players didn't want United says Pep, Luiz Gustavo happy at Wolfsburg and Deulofeu back to Everton in January...
Ooh, this is interesting. According to the Daily Mirror, Bayern Munich are set to trump a host of Premier League clubs to Loic Remy's signature.
Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle and Everton have all been linked with moves for the striker, who has scored 13 goals for the Magpies during his loan spell from QPR.
'Bayern have signed Polish star Robert Lewandowski for next season, but they want Remy too,' report the Mirror, adding that the Frenchman will cost around £15m.
'Mario Mandzukic is likely to be sold to make space for new arrivals.
'Remy knows he would probably go to sit on the bench, but the glamour of Bayern - and the salary he'd get there - are tempting, and talks are due to start soon.'
It looks like we can expect a lot more guff about Edinson Cavani in the coming weeks, with the Metro reporting that the striker is keen on a move to Manchester United.
Cavani has scored 20 goals in Ligue 1 and the Champions League for PSG this season, but it appears his heart is set on leaving after being forced to play second fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
According to the Metro: 'The 27-year-old has reportedly told friends he feels he would be a 'perfect fit' in the Premier League and is willing to talk to any prospective suitors, but the fact United have shown the most interest is an 'important factor' in his decision.
'Cavani is likely to fetch upwards of £60m should he leave the Parc des Princes this summer, while PSG team-mate Ezequiel Lavezzi is also believed to want out of the Paris club at the end of the season.'
There's quite a tenuous story in the Daily Express this morning, which claims that Manchester United have been given fresh hope in their pursuit of Marco Reus.
Nope, they haven't been handed a wildcard to the Champions League, just a little bit of encouragement that Reus is delaying signing a new contract.
That could be crucial to United's chances of signing the forward, with Reus' current deal reportedly containing a £28m release clause - a reasonable fee that would allow United to throw a stack of cash in wages at the German international.
Report the Express: 'The 24-year-old is reported to have been offered a new deal to stay at the Westfalenstadion amid speculation.

Oneshot; set 18 years in the past, and two years in the future; a little precious, because, you know, 5 year old Takaba... Written Sept 2008
His mother's voice soon faded into the distance as his short legs carried him away from home and toward the playground. He was making a break for it. There was probably going to be a spanking in his future, but he just had to go back.
He patted his pockets to make sure everything was there. He wasn't sure what puppies ate, so he'd snuck a bunch of things off the table during dinner. Grandpa had caught him putting a pickle in his pocket, but he hadn't said anything, just winked.
Grandpa was his favorite person in the whole world. His room was full of treasures and he had stories to go with all of them. Akihito had never known his grandpa was so famous around the world until he started hearing his heroic adventures. He'd saved millions of people from ships sinking and earthquakes and wild animals and bad guys.
His favorite story though was the one where Grandpa rescued the Chinese princess from a dragon; but even though she asked him to stay and be her emperor he came home with Grandma and got married. Grandma must have been pretty special with Grandpa giving up all that for her. Akihito told Grandpa that once and he just laughed and said he liked the dragon better, winking at Grandma, who smacked him for telling such stories to a five year old. Akihito thought Grandma was kind of scary sometimes.
He stopped suddenly and looked around, a little unsure that he was headed the right way, never having been so far from home on his own. But he saw a big house that he recognized around a corner and happily set off down that street, deciding he'd get to where he wanted sooner or later as long as he was brave and kept going. His legs were starting to get tired though. It didn't seem as far when he came with his mom.
But nothing would stop him, not with the puppy waiting ahead. It would be awfully hungry by now. The little black and white dog had whimpered when he'd been dragged away earlier that day, and he'd felt so bad while he was eating when he knew the dog was not. He knew Mom would say no if he asked to come back, so he'd made a Plan. He was going to do what Grandpa would do and be a hero.
And, well, if the puppy happened to follow him home after that, he wouldn't be able to stop it. He giggled. The spanking would be worth it.
He finally spotted the park up ahead and his legs started pumping as he ran the last few meters into the quiet, darkening playground. There weren't any families there at that time of the day. A cool breeze blew through, making him shiver because he hadn't thought of bringing a coat.
"Puppy!? Where are you?" His high-pitched voice echoed a little through the empty lot. He stood in the middle, turning in circles. "Puppy? I brought you some dinner...." The yard was still. He ran around the swings and the sandbox, calling out, but no one was there. Dreams of the answering happy barks he'd wanted to hear faded to a sad reality. The puppy was gone.
Dejected, he squatted on the ground and started drawing pictures in the sand of a little boy and his dog, playing with balls and kites and having fun with each other. He sniffed and rubbed his eyes. Maybe someone found it and took it home and it had a happy full belly. That was probably it. It was probably happy and not lonely at all. A drop fell onto his picture. He wiped his eyes again, thinking a tear had fallen, but it wasn't him. Rain started pattering across the sand, erasing all his stories. When he looked up a big black cloud was just moving overhead. Lighting cracked down out of the sky with a burst of thunder and hit a nearby lamppost, sending him scrambling.
That was when he heard a noise off to the right, a loud clatter from the direction of a small shed on the corner of the grounds. Suddenly the cold grey park didn't seem so friendly. He started to back away when his imagination took over. What if it was a monster? He knew they were real because Grandpa had fought so many. But then what if it was the puppy and it was trapped? It could die in there. It was probably scared.
Akihito stood frozen, his fear warring with his need to help. He kept trying to make his feet move forward but they didn't want to go. A new noise reached his ears, a moan. It sounded like it was hurt. Concern broke whatever hold the fear had and he raced forward. If it was something bad, he'd just run the other way as fast as he could. He burst through the door prepared for battle and stopped in shock.
A boy lay curled on the dirt floor, surrounded by scattered yard tools and playground equipment. Akihito looked him over, uncertain. He looked kind of scruffy, and there were bruises on his face. He knew only bad boys fought, but then Grandpa fought too, to save people. Maybe what mattered was why you were fighting.
He took a hesitant step forward. "Hey," he said in almost a whisper, "are you okay?" There was no answer. It made him even more nervous. Maybe he should leave. Maybe get someone who could help. "I'll get a grownup, okay?" He turned, eager to get away, but a hand grabbed his ankle. Just like a monster would. His legs felt like gummy candies, barely holding him up.
"No. Don't get anyone. Grownups don't help. Grownups just..." The voice dropped away as the boy raised his head and looked at him through one eye. The other was black and swollen practically shut. Akihito looked closer. Not a monster. Someone a monster had hurt. His heart was lost.
"Just don't get anyone." The boy struggled a little, trying to sit up. Akihito ran over and took hold of his arm, trying to help, the other shooting him a look of surprise. "You're pretty strong for such a little guy."
"I'm scrappy for my age," he said, parroting what his grandpa had told him.
The answering chuckle was followed by a wince. "Are you? I think you are. What's your name?"
"Takaba Akihito. Block 5, Lot 3, Building—"
"Easy, I don't need name, rank and serial number."
He knew what that was from Grandpa's stories. "I know that," he scoffed. "You only give that when you're a prisoner of war. That happened to my Grandpa a lot. He's Takaba Hoshiro." That last was said a little proudly, because it wasn't every boy who could claim a grandpa like his.
"Is he?" The other boy's golden eyes glowed with amusement. "Well, that explains a lot." He shifted, groaning a little.
Akihito saw that he was still hurting and felt bad for standing there bragging. "Why don't you go home and let your mom take care of you?"
A shutter fell across the other's eyes. "Is that what your mom would do? Lucky kid. I don't have a mom."
Oh. No mom? He thought about what that would be like. No hugs in the morning and before he went to sleep. No one making his favorite pudding. No one making sure he wore his coat. No one to worry about him being lost somewhere. A guilty feeling crept up. His mom would be upset right now.
And this boy didn't even have a mom. He inched his way forward and cautiously stretched his arm out, petting the boy's shoulder, trying not to look at the eyes that were fixed on him. He felt like he was at the zoo and reaching between the bars of the tiger cage.
The soft voice startled him. "You're a brave one, Takaba Akihito."
The boy was wrong. He was very afraid.
A short sniff from the other made him jump. "Why do I smell pickles?"
"Pickles...? Oh! It's puppy food."
"Puppy? What the hell kind of dog eats pickles?"
"Mine would have!" Not that it mattered. His fierceness left him and his shoulders fell. "Only it's not mine. It's gone. I hope it went home with someone who loves it." Though in his heart he actually hated the little boy he imagined had taken his puppy.
"I doubt it did."
What? It wasn't safe?
Tears filled his eyes as the boy casually continued. "It probably..."
"Probably what?" he demanded, his voice rising a little.
But the other had stopped speaking and was looking at him. The older boy reached out with a large hand and ruffled his hair, then brushed at his cheek. "You're right. Now that I think about it, I heard someone come to pick it up."
"You did? Are you sure? 'Cause if he's not safe we've got to help him!"
"You would, wouldn't you? But there's no need. I'm sure."
He couldn't help the big smile that burst across his face. Sure, he'd wanted the puppy, but knowing it was happy was more important.
There was a glimmer of an answering smile in the growing darkness. "Yeah. So if you're not eating that puppy food, would you mind sharing it?"
Thunder boomed outside the shed again. He turned and glanced out into the nearly dark yard. Rain was pouring down and it was completely muddy now. There was no way he was going home through it.
He looked back at the bigger boy. It wasn't so scary with him smiling. Maybe he was like the puppy, and just needed some food and love.
"I have a hamburger too," he offered shyly.
"In your pocket?" The smile he liked turned into a laugh. "Do you have a soda in there too?"
He shook his head in dismay, only to have the boy laugh again and pat his head. "That's alright, kid. You're a lifesaver. If we want a drink there's plenty of water falling."
The burger was a little fuzzy but he brushed it off and gave it to the boy who wolfed it down, not minding. It was like he hadn't eaten in a while. Akihito emptied his pockets of all the food he'd brought for the dog, and watched as it disappeared. An idea started to form in his head.
"We have more at home." Maybe instead of a puppy he could have an older brother. "If you wanted, maybe you could come home with me."
"I have the feeling your family wouldn't like that too much." The last pickle was munched and swallowed. The dinner roll disappeared in two bites.
They probably wouldn't, but Grandpa would. "My grandpa would help. He's a hero." His eyes wandered back outside. Grandpa was probably worried too now. He gnawed at his lip. It wouldn't be so easy to get home. Everything looked strange in the dark. Kind of scary.
"Come here, Akihito."
He turned his eyes back to the boy, who was holding out a hand and simply looking at him, command in his gaze. He wasn't afraid of him anymore, and walked forward without hesitation.
"Trust me, do you?" He was pulled down onto a warm lap.
He nodded.
"You shouldn't. If you meet me again, don't." Arms pulled him against a warm chest. "But for tonight, you can. Once it stops raining, I'll see that you get home."
He sagged in relief against the older boy. "You're like Grandpa. You're a hero too."
"Am I?" The voice over his head was soft. "You'd be the first person who thought that."
He snuggled in closer. This was way nicer than a puppy. "Grandpa says it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. You just have to believe in yourself."
"Just like that, huh?"
"You can do it. I believe in you." He yawned. It was probably past his bedtime. The arms around him tightened.
As he fell asleep he felt a kiss on his forehead, and heard the quiet words, "Thank you, Akihito."
The next morning he woke up at home, in his own bed, sunlight streaming through the window. He thought maybe what he remembered was a dream, vague memories of being carried through the streets, trying to get home.
At least, that's what he thought until his mother spanked him and said no ice cream for a week. Luckily, after he'd told his grandpa what happened, he got puddings smuggled to him every night.
He went back to the park with his grandpa, but the boy wasn't there. The shed was empty and neat. His parents hadn't even seen the guy that night. They'd just heard the intercom buzz and found Akihito sleeping on the porch.
It was starting to fade from his memory until one day his mother called him downstairs to the front porch with a scowl on her face. "What is the meaning of this, young man?" The family stood around as he opened the large cardboard box that had been addressed simply to Takaba Akihito. He squealed with delight as a cold wet nose poked his and a warm tongue licked his face all over.
He and the puppy were soon on the lawn, rolling all over each other in their eagerness to play.
"What's it say?" he heard his grandpa ask.
"It says the dog will protect him," his mother replied softly. "It says his name is Hero."
"You'll let him keep it then." It wasn't a question.
From the shadows across the street, he thought he saw the old man look straight at him and smile. He hurriedly pulled back, not wanting to get involved with a family so clean and happy. With a last glance at the laughing boy, he turned back to the dark he'd come from. He wasn't a nice person. He knew that. But he promised himself that he'd never forget that one night when he'd spent time on the other side. When he'd felt like a hero.
Twenty years later....
He sat on the couch in their apartment, relaxed, cigarette loose between his fingers, watching as Akihito excitedly pulled at the ties on the box. The jumping box. Which exploded into a little bundle of Shiba inu when the ties were removed. Akihito laughed under the onslaught, and looked up at Asami with confused but delighted eyes. "I love puppies! How did you guess?"
He shrugged, pleased inside but unwilling to show it. "Just lucky, I suppose. What will you call him?"
Akihito paused in his playing, considering the question as if it were a matter of great importance. "I think I'll call him Pickle."
"Pickle?" he asked, feigning disinterest. He remembered?
"Yeah. Ow! Bratty pup." The puppy was biting his fingers, demanding attention. He gently pushed him onto his back and rubbed his belly.
It amused Asami to no end that he used the same method on an angry Akihito to distract him.
He hadn't meant to find him again. The meeting had been by chance. But he'd warned him, long ago. He wasn't a nice man. He was a man who coveted what was rare and beautiful, and would have it at any cost. What was before him now was worth everything he owned.
"You're Pickle," Akihito crooned to the small dog, who was waving his feet in the air in delight. He raised his eyes to look at Asami. "Because I only need one hero at a time."
Asami covered his embarrassment at the confession the only way he knew how, sweeping the boy up into his arms, depositing the puppy back into the box. "He can wait."
Akihito was strangely still as he carried him into the bedroom, offering none of his usual fighting.
"What's wrong?" Asami asked, tossing him onto the bed, considering how best to tie up his prize so it wouldn't get away. He pulled off the silk at his neck, considering.
The young man propped himself up on his elbows and shook his head. "Nothing. I was just reminded of something that I can't quite place..." He shrugged. "Déjà vu I guess."
"Maybe." He crouched over him now, his boy, his Akihito. Dragged from his clean world into this dark one, an invisible collar and leash now at his throat.
"You really are, Asami. You know that, don't you?"
He blinked down at him, trying to figure out what he'd missed in his hunger.
"A hero."
He felt a tightening at his throat, and acknowledged it. "I know you see me that way." It was as deadly an addiction as when he'd walked away from it twenty years earlier. But now he was old enough to know that sometimes it was worth giving in to the craving. And that for treasure so rare, sometime the price was oneself.
Asami lowered his head, and as usual let his lips say what he was unable to voice, hoping that someday his lover would understand the language. The tie slipped through his fingers to the floor as he gathered Akihito close with both arms. What was the point anymore? Neither of them was going anywhere else.
Rain started falling in torrents outside the window, and the memories of that night made him stop for a moment and hold Akihito, remembering the small boy, so brave when it came to helping someone, not even thinking of the danger, gazing up in trust and awe at someone who could so easily have slit his throat for the food he'd carried. For he'd not been far from an animal in those days. That small hand had tamed him for a night, had changed something deep within.
Akihito had never known, never understood who the real hero had been that night. As he didn't understand now that he stood between a beast and the rest of the world.
I suppose I am a hero in his eyes, Asami thought. He'd never believe what he is to me.
He lowered his head to lick at part of an ear that poked out of Akihito's mop of hair. "A verrey parfait gentil knyght. And a tasty one."
"Huh? Was that English?" Akihito looked up from where he was snuggling into Asami's neck, trying to work the words out.
Asami didn't bother to answer. As the wind whipped and howled about the building he simply gave his passion free rein, knowing that Akihito was safe from the worst of it.
That one child, this young man, had instinctively held the weapon that had brought him down. He'd somehow known that monsters weren't defeated by finding their hearts and plunging blades into them. They were defeated by making them acknowledge they had hearts in the first place.
He bent to the one who had charmed him. The storm continued outside, forgotten.
*A verrey parfait gentil knyght. – A phrase from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales prologue in which he describes the knight as truly perfect and noble.

Jul 18 2011: Of course it depends on the subject matter and the reason for gaining someone's opinion. Often we judge people's opinions based on some pre-determined beliefs we hold, and we are merely looking for agreement to solidify your ideas! Interesting point Kate makes about 13-26 year olds rebelling - I can certainly sympathise with this notion, and infact would argue it hasn't ever stopped, but yes sometimes those closest to you can have a major impact on your own opinions, particularly if you feel strongly opposed to their beliefs.
Jonathon's question asks whether everyone's opinion has the same value. To one scenario - no, because every scenario is limited to many factors, but on a wide scale, potentially yes - to an unlimited amount and variety of scenarios. Everyone has an area of 'expertise' or knowledge, whether they know it or not.

Times Argus building to be soldStaff Report | March 21,2013BARRE Less than a year after it was placed on the market, the building housing the Times Argus offices at 540 N. Main St. is under contract to be sold.
President and Publisher R. John Mitchell said Wednesday the building, which was listed at $895,000, is the subject of a signed purchase and sale agreement with Metro, a Barre-based real estate company owned by Thomas and Karen Lauzon.
Neither party would disclose the sale price. The sale remains contingent on an inspection of the building, Mitchell said.
The pending building sale now provides Mitchell with the opportunity to finally move the daily newspapers operations back to the center of downtown. Mitchell and his staff have been looking at several properties as a possible rental.
Currently, the Times Argus building supports the newsroom, subscriber services and advertising departments, and serves as the distribution center each night for the papers independent contracted motor carriers.
The facility has not had an operational press since May 2011, when fast-rising floodwaters caused significant damage to the printing and mailroom divisions of the operation.
The Times Argus and its sister paper, the Rutland Herald, are now printed at Upper Valley Press in North Haverhill, N.H.
As Barre has seen a resurgence in its downtown in the last few years, Mitchell has been eager to return the papers operations to the heart of the city, hopefully by this summer. The Times Argus had been located along Main Street until 1973, when it moved operations to the location on North Main Street.
The sale of the 23,000-square-foot building will have no effect on the newspapers staff or operations.
In an interview Wednesday, Thomas Lauzon said he had no specific plans for the space but is entertaining several ideas that have yet to come to fruition.
(That) property is a perfect complement to the existing Metro portfolio. Over the years, weve had a great deal of success with mixed-use commercial/industrial properties, he said. I watched with great interest when this property went on the market last year and am surprised no one made a serious play for acquisition until now. The available parking and yard area, which is at a premium throughout central Vermont, couldnt be better.
Lauzon, the citys mayor, owns several key buildings in downtown, including the Aldrich Block. Citywide, he and his wife own more than 500,000 square feet of commercial real estate in Barre.
Lauzon said he has already shown the conceptual design for the Times Argus building to a number of potential tenants. I have no doubt that well execute the planned changes well and fill the space, he said. ... It will make a great summer project and keep a few contractors busy.
Lauzon said negotiating the purchase with Mitchell was a pleasure.
You know, in all the years Ive done this, no seller has ever reached out their hand, shook mine and said, We have a deal. Its a testament to the way John does business. Its pretty obvious that Johns word means more than a legal document.
Lauzon said that over the next few months, Metro will perform a structural analysis and environmental assessment, incorporate design changes and plan for a major renovation of the building configuration and systems.
We cant wait to get started, he said.
In the meantime, as Mitchell and his staff search for a new office, Times Argus customers should continue to use the 540 N.

h2g2 - A Missed Opportunity?
Remember the internet in 1999? I do. I was 14 years old, we had our first ever home computer and AOL internet.
We had a book of "Interesting Websites", because Google hadn't entered the common lexicon. We had Microsoft Encarta '99 on a CD ROM (how swish) because nobody had bothered to invent Wikipedia yet.
I spent my evenings on StarWars.com, trying to find out more about this ace new movie that was going to be released, with Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor. My dad spent his evenings on a Leeds United email list.
And a bunch of absolute geniuses led by Douglas Noel Adams had spent their evenings launching a website called h2g2.
It was an online, customisable encyclopaedia, written and edited by volunteers. Two years before Wikipedia was launched.
But it was more than that. Customable personal spaces with "Journals". Or blogs. Where you could collect Friends and Followers, who'd subscribe to your updates. Four years before MySpace, five years before Facebook, seven years before Twitter.
Imagine if you could go back to 1999, or even 2001, knowing what you know today about how the internet will develop. Imagine that someone offered you the ownership of Wikipedia and MySpace rolled into one.
Well in 2001, that was offered to the BBC and they took control of h2g2. And ten years on, they're trying to sell it.
Because h2g2 isn't what it could have been. And that's everyone's fault.
I joined h2g2 on February 22nd 2003. A Saturday. I was 17 years old, working for the Royal Mail and bored. But we could access the BBC website from work, and that led me to h2g2. I signed up, and the rest is history.
Before drifting away from h2g2 in 2009 to launch Unmemorable Title, I wrote 15 solo Edited Guide Entries on subjects as diverse as Josef Mengele and Lucas Radebe, via the Kaiser Chiefs and how to pair bond gerbils. I did five years as a volunteer Sub Editor, four years as a features writer for the h2g2 Post and more than my fair share of shifts in the Peer Review section.
But I took much more than I put in.
I learned how to write on h2g2. I learned how to pitch a piece to an audience, how to accept criticism and how to stop writing huge run-on sentences with millions of commas. I made some good friends, who I still keep in touch with via Twitter and Facebook.
But when it came down to it, I took what I could from h2g2 and walked away. By 2009, it was obvious that the site was in decline. People weren't writing as much for the encyclopaedia any more. And instead I took the skills that h2g2 gave me and fucked off. And I wasn't the only one who failed it.
The much vaunted community decided that conversations about badgers were more important than updating the guide. That someone else would do it. That it didn't need to be a viable website because the BBC would look after it.
And then the BBC failed it. h2g2 wasn't promoted by the Beeb, and the supply of new writers dried up. Only a few dozen committed researchers and hundreds of message-board junkies remained. And it wasn't enough to keep the site going. But still, the BBC online team kept it going.
And then, finally. Fatally. The government failed it. At Rupert Murdoch's urging, the government decided on an act of cultural vandalism. Huge cuts to the BBC's market-leading online offering. And predictably, as it always had to be, h2g2 was for the chop.
And I'm gutted.
I've spent more time on h2g2 this week, since the guys at The Eword sent me the news on Twitter, than I have in years. And it's still the same. There's still only a trickle of entries in the queue for the edited guide. There's still a hard core of posters committed to arguing about everything and demanding that they should get their kicks for free.
And there's still a handful of people who criticised my writing style as a 17 year old, and who helped me learn to do it right. And it's horrible that we won't be able to help other, bored young wannabe writers who stumble across h2g2.
Because there won't be a h2g2 anymore.
It should've been brilliant.

Here's a Rolex watch:
Expensive necklace Floyd got her for her birthday:
"Thank you for my birthday gift @floydmayweather. You're the best #AllSmiles #LimitedEdition" she wrote.
Note the hashtags she used — "all smiles" and "limited edition" are phrases Shantel uses on Instagram. Looks like someone is trying to rub it in.
And here's a monstrous ring she got for being "special" to someone:
"When you're special to someone, you receive special things. Never take anything for granted…" she wrote.
Looks like this half-Filipino, half-black temptress has Floyd's attention. It's easy to see why.
But she shouldn't get it twisted, either. Everyone knows what Floyd said — he has multiple women because he can handle it all.

Some of you may have heard of this app, which was featured a lot in the Touch Diamond 2 forums. It is quite a nifty little app that was created by XDA member lyriquidperfection. The application itself provides you with some simple tweaks that allow you to take more control of your phone. One of its biggest features is that it gives you the ability to control the action of the long press end key. Moreover, it also provides the ability to hard reset your device from the built in interface. The UI has a lot of the HTC look, but with a little twist added by the developer. This allowed the creation of his own controls and keep the file size small
Changes / Improvements:
Touch Tools for HTC – Public Release – PR1
This Version is for Windows Mobile 6.5 ONLY!
- TD2 Tools is now Touch Tools for HTC. I felt the name needed changing as it now supports multiple devices.
- Added: Full HD2 support. If you are not running Touch Tools on an HD2, the HD2 Options menu will automatically be disabled.
- Added: Opera Settings tab for changing various Opera related settings.
- Changed: Boot Manager has had modifications to make it fully compatible with the HD2. It will now detect the device its running on so the integration function can work correctly.
- Rotation Manager and Slim Volume have been modified to be fully compatible with HD2. No more using the stylus to capture window information. Instead, just simply shake the device to capture the information.
- Added: A neat little utility called Snatch Screen. This has a nice interface and allows you to take device screenshots in multiple formats. Allows you to preview the captured image and then discard or save.
- HD2 options added include: Data Options: Enabling Wireless-N Mode, Show 3G in Comm. Manager which adds the 3G button to Comm. Manager. SMS/E-Mail Options: Show 'Send' button in HTC Messaging and Disable 'Reply All' in E-mail. Multimedia Options: Enable Extra Games Shortcuts, Extra Camera Modes, Extra Video Recording Formats, Improve MPEG4 recording bitrate, Enable Text Selection Magnifier and HTC Album 'Real' Exit.
- Added Confirmation On Exit to Program Options so you can choose whether or not to display a confirmation when exiting Touch Tools to eliminate accidental screen taps.
- Changed: Startup Animation settings have now been moved to the Boot Options menu.
- More features coming soon!

Picture the scenario – you have a meeting so you put your phone in silent mode. You leave the meeting and go about your daily work. Later when you get home, you realise you have 100 missed calls from your girlfriend/boyfriend and some irate text messages.
We've all done it – forgotten to turn up the volume on your Windows Mobile device.
XDA member thx1200 has the answer to all your problems – well this one anyway. Thx1200 has developed Mute4 – a simple application that allows you to set your phone to vibrate or silent, and then also set a timeout for when you want to restore the original volume profile via the system timer. The app includes default timeouts of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours. However, Mute4 also lets you set custom timeouts by editing the settings.ini file.
Mute4 is compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0 and 6.5.

If you are a big fan of customizing the looks of your HD2, everything from the task bar to the keyboard, then you have definitely heard of xda member dinik and all the amazing work that he does on our HD2s. Just recently, he created a thread where he placed all of his creations. Just think about it, no more looking all over the HD2 Leo threads for each individual mod! The thread is a one stop shop for all the great things he has created including:

If you are unfamiliar with the whole concept of Google Visual Voicemail (GVV), it is an application developed by xda member Sl4sher, which mimics the original application made for Google devices. His idea was to simply bring this functionality to the Windows Mobile platform. The app is built on top of the newest Sense SDK, a tool responsible for spawning tons of new apps for WM devices. This new revision brings a few bug fixes and a couple of updates, but it is becoming better as time goes by.
The app is not resolution specific and only requires .NET 3.5 to work. Installation instructions as well as development can be found in the link below.
Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.36
GVV has been tested on a Touch Pro 2 and a Treo Pro, all resolutions should be supported, let me know if you experience layout problems.
You can follow development in the application thread.

Back in September, XDA member RR33 released the first part of the SenseLIKE Suite for WVGA and VGA devices. Contained within it was a plethora of modifications for the original TouchFlo3D and the newer Sense 2.1 which allowed users of those applications to enjoy the aesthetic improvements of the newer releases of Manila without sacrificing performance, or having to flash a custom ROM. Additionally, users who just couldn't get enough of the recognisable look of the Android version of HTC Sense could have it integrated into various aspects of the OS that would otherwise appear dull.
The Suite included skins for the default Windows Mobile and Tachi dialers along with an Android-themed boot animation, retouched slider icons and, most interestingly, an array of redesigned clocks for the Home tab.
Recently, RR33 has released the follow up to his original suite. The new set includes skins supporting the dialers found in newer devices such as the HD2 and the Touch Pro2, while also expanding upon the choice of customised clocks. Variations include a clock with the Union Flag as a background, a wood grain effect and a soft blue glow as well. Also updated, are the customised sliders and slider icons, which help bring a brighter appearance to the Manila interface.
Part 2 of the Suite can be found in the suite's thread.

Are you a veteran rom chef? Or maybe you are beginning to explore the possibility of making your own roms. Whatever the case may be, we all know that cooking can be both problematic and time consuming, especially at the time of making sure that our kitchens are structured properly. With this idea in mind, xda moderator and developer TehPenguin has released a tool that is bound to make chef's lives much easier.
The tool's core function is to merge files and modules from dumped roms with pre-existing kitchens by comparing, merging, and cleaning up all the files needed to make a functional rom for any HTC device. This is a universal application, which means that it can work with many kitchens including (but not limited to) EVK, OSKitchen, and many more.
So, if you are still considering cooking your own roms, this tool will make your life considerably simpler.
New and Improved – Much more functionality than the old one!
I'm trying to make this a general cleaning\sorting\worker app for processing dumped folders. If you'd like a feature added, please let me know.
What is it?
This is a simple program designed to take the hard work out of rearranging, cleaning and merging dumped ROMs with Kitchens.
What can it do?

After a very successful launch of Deutsch Bahn, xda member brandi has released many updates to his app. Most of these are not actually bug fixes, but rather improvements over the original release. It's latest incarnation (version 0.42), carries over improvements from all of its previous releases plus better interface and analytics. The installation cab can be found in the development thread, and as with any newly developed application, feedback is important, so be sure to share your experience with the developer.

Have you ever had a burning urge to play Dungeons and Dragons in the middle of the night, but been afraid that the uncontrollable clatter of the dice rolling might wake up an angry neighbour? Have you ever been dismayed at a friend's house to find that their Monopoly set has been rendered completely unplayable due to the lack of a small white cube? If the answer either question was "yes", then read on…
Starbuzz's RPG Friend application eliminates the fears of die-related inadequacies by allowing you to perform every roll virtually. Designed as a WVGA-supporting alternative to Pocket Dice Master, the application will simulate die rolls, from conventional 6-sided dice to those found in RPG board games, so that you can roll whenever and wherever you have your phone handy.
The app is available in both French and English and is designed to be compatible with VGA and WVGA phones running .NET Compact Framework version 3.5, although other resolutions may work.
The developer is open to suggestions for improvements to the app, which is downloadable in the application thread.

Many users prefer the more complex user interface plugins, such as HTC Sense and SPB Mobile Shell, you might just enjoy a light-weight today plugin, which can perform just as well. This new today plugin enables you to launch applications directly from the Windows Mobile today screen.

In direct competition with the newly released Google Navigation for Android, Microsoft has updated the pre-existing Bing searching application with an exciting new feature.
The new version 5.1 will allow you to rely on Microsoft's app for voice guided turn-by-turn satellite navigation, without having to pay anything. Much like with Google Maps, Bing uses the established network of satellite imagery and road mapping that is already accessible on the main website to calculate the fastest way to get to your destination.
Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T are the only carries on which the voice guided navigation currently works, although this may be set to change in the future. To use the navigational functions of the application, you also have to be a resident of the US and have a compatible Windows Mobile phone. A list of suitable phones has been compiled by Microsoft and it can be found here.

A simple image editor like Microsoft Paint always comes in handy when you want to make changes to an image quickly or do a quick sketch without being buried alive under the overwhelming and often unnecessary range of features offered by high-end photoshopping software.
XDA member menos has created just such a handy editing tool, but for use on our mobiles. Through the Paint Now! application, you can add shapes, doodles and effects to pictures stored on your Windows Phone without having to be near a computer. Paint Now! also lets you rotate, crop and flip images before being given the choice to convert them to a more suitable file type.
The app doesn't ask for much to run – just a touchscreen device running Windows Mobile 5 or higher and .NET Compact Framework version 3.5. Pick it up in the application thread.

Love all your works, and particularly QI, recently. I live in the US, so I don't get access to all your BBC programs.
Here's my question: I heard a few weeks ago on the TWIT podcast programme that Leo Laporte and the gang would really really love to have you on the podcast (via Skype or whatever)... would you consider that? Have you received a call or email about doing this?
Leo seemed seriously stoked at the idea of having you on the show, and I know lots of us TWITS agree.
Thoughts? Anyone know? I tried a search on the forum but not a sausage (<- American attempt at British humour).
With affection,
Austin Texas

Taxpayers will pay an estimated $21 million over the next year and a half for changes ordered in response to a racial profiling ruling against an Arizona sheriff's office.
Maricopa County also would have to pick up an additional $10 million in staff and other costs each year beginning in mid-2015 to comply with the judge's order against Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office.
Seven months ago, U.S. District Judge Murray Snow ruled Arpaio's office systematically singled out Latinos in its regular traffic and immigration patrols.
Arpaio is appealing the ruling.

With The Masters, golf's most prestigious tournament, beginning on April 3rd, the title is really up for grabs. Yes, Tiger Woods is making his return to golf after his sex scandal, and yes Tom Watson is playing his 37th Masters, but honestly folks, who is the real favorite? I've put my top five favorites in line, with number one being defending champion Angel Cabrera. Cabrera's power game suits Augusta so well, and he has proven to be clutch in the long courses, winning the U.S Open at Oakmont in 2005 and winning the Masters last year. If Cabrera is hitting drives in the 320's, he should be a tough man to beat. Second on my list of favorites is Jim Furyk. Furyk proved he can win of late, and maybe he's got another major left in his tank.
Third on my list is none other than Tiger Woods. Woods can run away from any field, and he has proved it on several occasions.
If Woods can keep his eyes on the prize, he can come out a winner, so matter what's on his mind. Fourth on my list is Steve Stricker. Stricker had a breakthrough year last year, winning several tournaments and even reaching the number one spot on the FedEx Cup standings. Stricker is an all around pure ball striker and a threat to win any major he enters. Last on my list is another perennial favorite, Phil Mickelson. Mickelson made a late charge in the final round of the Masters last year, but a water ball on the 13th hole at Amen Corner derailed his chances. The game of Mickelson boils down to two things. Composure and putting. If Mick can do both, he's going to be atop the leaderboard.

Albany- This year the first day of the Jewish Festival of lights is the day after Thanksgiving.
Sunday children at Temple B'nai Israel practiced for their upcoming Hanukkah program and enjoyed some tradition Jewish cuisine.
"There probably won't be as many people in the temple as there might otherwise be because the first night will be on Friday night when we usually have our services, but of course a lot of people will be out of town visiting family for Thanksgiving, and so most of the celebrating will be done at home," says Sunday School teacher Diana Craft.
Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days. The celebration marks the Jewish victory over Syrian invaders in 165 BC. The holiday rarely comes this early.
