Chapter 7-
Alexa stood at the kitchen counter and dug through the familiar cabinets. She took out the pans and bowels that she's used hundreds of times before. It felt like all that she did was cook. Alexa didn't mind, of course. No she liked the chance to be a bit more domestic.
Some one cleared their throat. Alexa jumped and turned around. Dodo was watching her from the doorway. "Hi," She said softly.
"Hello," said Dodo walking into the room. Then, like when they first met, she ran into his arms and he held her close. "I'm sorry," he said. It sounded more like he was begging for her forgiveness than anything else. It was low, desperate, and meant to cover sobs.
"It's my fault," Alexa said into his chest.
"It isn't," Dodo said resting his head on hers. They stood in silence, arms wrapped around each other, and then, finally, "You aren't going to vanish on me again are you?" Dodo asked softly.
Alexa looked up at him. "Never," She promised. "I won't ever leave you again." Dodo kissed her and she leaned in against him. "Now, I have to make dinner because, as lovely as our TARDIS is, I'm not really sure that she can make food." Alexa looked around the little kitchen and thought about how much food she needed to make. "Would you like to help?" Alexa asked, expecting him to say 'no'. Still his company would make the time pass much quicker.
Dodo nodded. "Alright," he told her, though he didn't seem too excited. Alexa squealed and wrapped her arms around his neck. Anything to make her smile, he mused. So, through their laughter, Alexa and Dodo began the feast.
Remus, Hatter, and Sam were in the media room. Remus was sprawled out on the couch, sleeping. After all it had been a long day for him. His hand was dangling off the end. Sam sat with her back against the couch and her hand in Remus'. Hatter was beside her. His arms were wrapped around her and her head was against this chest. Anastasia was on the TV but neither were really paying attention to it.
"So, what have you been up to?" Hatter asked her.
"Wrote a play, I'm the vice president of my drama club, got accepted to a few colleges, and none of this makes any sense to you does it?" Sam asked, a smile on her face.
He shook his head, "Not a bit, love. But it seems to make you happy. And that makes me happy," Hatter said. He kissed the top of her head.
"And what about you?" Sam asked.
"The usual. Sneaking things down to the rebels. Keeping Dodo out of trouble," Hatter explained.
Sam said, "It's been hard for him, hasn't it?" because it was much easier to say that then to talk about how it had been hard for Hatter.
Hatter nodded now. "It's been hard for all of us." He squeezed her a little tighter.
"I'm sorry," Sam blurted out.
"It's alright. At least it's all right now. Everything is better now," Hatter promised.
Sam looked up at Remus. He was sleeping soundly. "Do you really think that it will all work out? I mean, will it make you happy?" Sam asked looking back at Hatter.
"I get to be with you. Why shouldn't I be happy?"
Dodo walked into the media room and rolled his eyes when he saw the television. He'd never taken to animated films like Hatter had. "Alexa says that dinner will be ready in five minutes," he said.
"Thanks," Sam said. Dodo nodded at them and then left them. "I should wake him." Sam said crawling out of Hatter's arms. He wasn't in love with the idea of letting go of her. But he was in love with her and he was happy to have had his alone time with her.
"Remus," Sam said softly as she nudged his arm. No answer. She tried again and his eyes flicked open. He smiled up at her. "Hello," Sam said.
"Sam," Remus said.
"Dinner is ready. I wanted to make sure that you ate," She said softly. Remus sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Thank you, Sam," he said. Hatter was standing and brushing himself off and looking away. Remus kissed Sam quickly and gently. "Shall we?"
Alexa stood over a sleeping Severus. He, like Remus, had wanted to try and get some rest. She brushed a few strands of his hair away from his face and sat beside him. "Severus," She said softly. He stirred, but didn't wake. She shook his arm gently and said his name a bit louder.
His opened and he looked up at her for a few moments before smiling at her. Severus reached up and touched her face. "My love," he murmured.
"You're making me blush," She said. Severus sat up but never looked away from her.
"I know. It's enchanting," he said. Now he blushed. "That was far to forward."
She shook her head. "No. It wasn't." Alexa leaned forward and kissed him. Severus held her against him. He inhaled the fruity sent of her hair and the warmth of her skin. "Dinner is ready," She said softly, when he didn't move she added, "Everyone is waiting for us." Finally, they got up and joined the others.
Everyone was standing awkwardly in the kitchen looking at the bowls of food on the island. Dodo considered explaining, but he thought it best to stay out of it and let Alexa explain.
"Hi! Sorry I'm late. So, Dodo and I made veggie stir-fry, and tortellini in pesto. Oh, and there's sautéed shrimp and grilled chicken on the side that you can, like, mix in. Or eat on the side if you're OCD like I am. I wasn't sure what everyone liked so I tried to make a mix of everything," Alexa explained.
"She never struck me as a chef," Remus said to Hatter.
"No, no. She is. She isn't bad. More of a baker though. But don't ever expect breakfast," Hatter explained.
Dodo was standing behind them and he leaned forward "She doesn't get up nearly early enough for that," he said. Remus jumped, but Hatter was used to it. Chuckling, Dodo rejoined Alexa.
Plates were passed out, food was served, and seats were taken. Sam and Alexa sat across from each other in the center of the table. Dodo and Hatter sat on their left, while Remus and Severus sat on their right. They ate in uncomfortable silence. Alexa's shoulders had risen and she was leaning in toward her food. Sam was looking around at each of the other people at the table, trying to think of anything to say.
"So," Hatter finally said. Everyone looked up at him expectantly. "Severus, is it?" Severus nodded. "What do you do?" he asked.
"I teach potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At least, I did. I suppose that you can count me among the dead now. In my world, at least," he said dully. Hatter just nodded.
More silence.
"We baked a cake. It's chocolate," Alexa said softly. She quickly sipped her club soda.
Remus set his fork down. He'd had the stir-fry. "Thank you, Alexa. I'm sure that it's wonderful."
She smiled and then went back to her shrimp. Sam looked up at Remus, hoping that he would carry on the conversation. "And Dodo, what do you do?"
Dodo looked up slowly. He was hunched over his plate eating his chicken and vegetables in large portions. Alexa touched his hand gently, as if to tell him that it was okay to answer. "I used to run a library. Now I'm part of the resistance," he grumbled.
"Ah. I am also part of a resistance. I used to teach. But…it was difficult," he said. Remus looked down and Sam squeezed his hand. Severus was smirking and Alexa kicked him under the table.
'Play nice.' She mouthed. Alexa noticed that every one's plates were clear. "So, cake?" She asked. Everyone nodded or muttered something in agreement. Severus waved his wand and all of the plates and bowls and silver ware floated into the kitchen. He would clean them for her later.
Everyone called out what size piece they wanted while Alexa cut the cake and Sam passed them out. "Maybe we can watch a movie while eat?" Alexa offered, not wanting to sit through another meal like the last.
In the media room they moved another couch in to make an awkward sectional. Sam, Hatter, and Remus sat directly across from the TV. Sam leaned against Remus and had her legs across Hatter. Alexa, Dodo, and Severus were on the leg of the 'L'. She was nestled against Severus, but was holding one of Dodo's hands tightly in her own.
Sam pressed play and Rear Window began.

Photo Review: Hall Of Fame Weekend UnderwayPosted by on August 3, 2012 – 10:55 pm
We had a busy day in Canton, Ohio as the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2012 is now only hours away from their enshrinement. I'll take you through a busy first 24 hours in Canton, with the help of photos, and then quickly explain what's ahead for the next day.
– A late-arriving flight into Cleveland left about an 80-minute drive into Canton. Upon our arrival at the McKinley Grant Hotel, we were treated to the presence of none other than John Randle. It was only two summers ago when we were in Canton to watch Randle go into the Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2010. It was great seeing John. He's a very outgoing individual, and this type of weekend has a tremendous amount of sociability to it so he feels very comfortable in the environment.
– This morning the goal was to corral as many Vikings-relevant personalities as possible inside the hotel so we could interview them for internal TV purposes. We spoke with several individuals, including current Hall of Famer Paul Krause as well as former Vikings coach and current personnel consultant Paul Wiggin (Doleman's position coach in Minnesota) and both Doleman's father and son. Below is a photo of Krause getting mic'd up for his interview.
– We also had a chance to chat with the man himself for a few minutes.
– Everyone who's inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame receives a gold jacket. There was a room inside the hotel that contained jackets belonging to current Hall of Famers who had their jackets re-sized. We found our way into the room, and the representatives from Haggar were kind enough to allow us to snap a photo of former Vikings OL Gary Zimmerman's jacket.
– Speaking of the gold jackets, this year's class of Hall of Famer's received their gold jackets tonight at what they call the Enshrinees' Gold Jacket Dinner, which was held at Canton Memorial Civic Center. There was a cocktail hour followed by a dinner and then the ceremony at which the Class of 2012 received their jackets.
– To open the ceremony, the Cleveland Recruiting Battalion Color Guard (representing the United States Army) presented the colors and a three-person band called New Hollow performed the National Anthem. New Hollow did a great job with the National Anthem; here's a photo just before they began the performance:
– The ceremony was an impressive celebration of the sport of professional football. The event was emceed gracefully by ESPN's Trey Wingo, and other featured speakers during the program included: Canton Mayor William J. Healy II; Candy Wallace (2012 General Chairman, Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce Committees); Stephen A. Perry (President/Executive Director, Pro Football Hall of Fame); and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The Class of 2012 was introduced, and they stood on stage together as a group. Then, current Hall of Famers who are in town for tomorrow's enshrinement were introduced, providing an incredible spectacle as the game's immortals marched on stage to shake hands with each member of the Class of 2012. It was a surreal moment to sit there and witness that interaction.
– Former NFL Director of Officiating Art McNally was presented with the Daniel F. Reeves Pioneer Award.
– The late Tom "Killer" Kowalski was honored with the Dick McCann Memorial Award.
– Len Dawson of the Chiefs Radio Network and of KMBC/NBC TV/HBO Sports was presented with the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award.
– Finally, at the end of the ceremony, the Class of 2012 was re-introduced to the stage along with their presenters and they received their gold jackets. It's the highlight of the ceremony and a fitting end to a wonderful celebration of the game of pro football.

Its been along time coming a for Mr. Doleman. Deserved to be in for a long time. Carter should be in the HOF also. He is the 2nd best WR ever. The only one better was Jerry Rice.

Congradulations Chris Doleman! Thank you for the many great years you gave to the Vikings. It was truly exciting and an honor to watch you play. you are truly deserving of the honor about to be bestode upon you. Thanks again!

Awesome! Now let's get Carter,Tinglehoff,and Marshall thier honors.
By Frederick Jones on Aug 4, 2012 | Reply
@Corey Fuller,
I believe Tingelhoff played in 6 straight Pro Bowls. The only reason he is not in the HOF is that he is an offensive lineman. (Although if the Vikings had won one of those Super Bowls, he would be in.)
By Tom on Aug 4, 2012 | Reply
How about Jim Marshall? He was the 7th player inducted into the Vikings Ring of Honor, while Doleman was 19th (not to diminish Doleman's greatness.) 5 players who were inducted into the ROH after Marshall are now in the Hall of Fame. Plus, look up his stats and his longevity. Congrat's Chris, now it's Jim's turn!

Carter Tinglehoff and Marshall A No Brainer… Come on HOF!
By Richard1A on Aug 6, 2012 | Reply
Yeah, but this is about Chris Doleman. I remember watching him, he was a stand out player, great to watch. I don't understad how just being on the same team as some of these great players, playing right next to them how it can't make the average player a better player. They have every chance in the world when half the team is keying in on the superstar player. There outstanding play should catch like wild fire on the team!

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
John Updike's twentieth novel, like his first, The Poorhouse Fair (1959), takes place in one day, a day that contains much conversation and some rain. The seventy-eight-year-old painter Hope Chafetz, who in the course of her eventful life has been Hope Ouderkirk, Hope McCoy, and Hope Holloway, answers questions put to her by a New York interviewer named Kathryn, and recapitulates, through the story of her own career, the triumphant, poignant saga of postwar American art. In the evolving relation between the two women, the interviewer and interviewee move in and out of the roles of daughter and mother, therapist and patient, predator and prey, supplicant and idol. The scene is central Vermont; the time is the early spring of 2001.
From the Hardcover edition.

Rider not taking Granbury lightly
Lady Raiders playing tonight
Rider coach Ramsey Ghazal isn't fooled for one second by Granbury's 21-14 record.
It's a far cry from the Lady Raiders' 30-3 mark, but the Lady Pirates had an excuse as they were missing 6-3 post Lilley Vander Zee part of the time.
But Vander Zee will be on the court tonight in Decatur as Granbury and No. 6 Rider battle in the Region I-4A Area playoffs. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
Vander Zee is playing with an injured shooting hand but that didn't keep the University of Texas signee from controlling Cleburne with 12 points, nine assists and six blocked shots. She did take her free throws left-handed, making 4 of 11.
"They're really good. They made the regional tournament last year," Ghazal said. "Their record is misleading. They lost eight or nine games when she wasn't playing. She's a force in the middle."
Granbury is also coached by Leta Andrews, the all-time winningest high school coach. She passed former Fort Worth Dunbar coach Robert Hughes with her 1,334th win back in December of 2010. And she just keeps going.
Ghazal was also impressed by point guard Ashley Bonugli and shooting guard Megan Northcutt. He sees a lot of the same traits in Granbury that his team has displayed all year.
"They are really fundamental and don't turn it over and they don't make bad passes," Ghazal said.
While Birdville had very little chance of finishing even when it broke Rider pressure in the bi-district rout, the Lady Pirates will have Vander Zee to finish herself or dish it for a layup.
"She's going to finish and they can make you pay a lot quicker," Ghazal said. "We got to find her and hope some of their girls aren't shooting well from the outside.
"And I think the best thing they do is defense. They'll be the best defensive team we've seen in a while. They're good individually and the constant is her in the middle."
Rider has allowed only 23 points per game over its past two victories and while that might not be reasonable Ghazal believes keeping the opponent in the 30s is realistic.
"The blowouts are over," Ghazal said. "It's going to be hard-fought and we have to get back in the half-court some. I think we can do that. The key is for us (to score) and get above 40 against somebody like Granbury."
The coach added that two big keys will be 3-point shooting on both sides and which team can build an early lead.
Freshman point guard Ashley Reid will be making her third consecutive start since Taliyah Brooks' season-ending knee injury. Reid had 17 points in the bi-district win and the Lady Raiders have multiple players scoring in each quarter to give the offense variety.
Ghazal wants his team to take the ball to the rim and finish their opportunities.
"If she (Vander Zee) has to come out and play defense then we can take her off the dribble; and when we have chances to make those layups we have to make them," Ghazal added. "You want to attack a shot blocker, get into her body and make her bring her hands down. We've won games before with offense, like we did against Lubbock Cooper, but what we really have to get done is on defense and we're going to have to win games at their tempo."
The winner will take on Aledo, a 57-30 winner over Saginaw Thursday, in the Region I-4A quarterfinals next week.

Lee, Lady Huskies face Burnet
Hirschi coach Leta Lofton gives senior Camille Lee a lot of credit for the team's run to the District 5-3A title and the playoffs.
Lofton said she told the volleyball coach that her team would have made the playoffs had Lee not been injured. On the basketball court Lee's unselfishness and all-around game has put the hurt on opponents.
The Lady Huskies gave the school a District 5-3A sweep in basketball and had a first-round bye. They'll return to action in a Region I-3A Area matchup with Burnet at 7 p.m. at Brock High School.
Lee averaged 14.5 points, 6.3 rebounds. 4.1 steals and 2.8 assists during the season. It was contagious as five Hirschi players average better than one assist.
"Camille means a lot," Lofton said. "Erica (Burton) and Camille are very good senior leaders, on and off the court, and in the classroom. They were good role models for our entire team."
Riley Scott leads Burnett (19-12) with 12.1 points followed by Bryanika Grady at 11.2.

Today, Merrillville, Indiana Linebacker Josh Barajas switched his commitment from Penn State to Notre Dame. Barajas originally committed to Penn State on March 30th. He now becomes the 9th commitment in the 2015 Notre Dame football recruiting class.
Barajas checks in at 6'3″ 210 lbs. During his recruitment, he collected offers from Boston College, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, N.C. State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin. Based on this offer list, Barajas shows that he possesses elite talent as a recruit. His list only lacks the elite national schools like Alabama, Florida State and USC.
In 2013, Barajas' Junior year, he collected 92 tackles, 5 sacks and 2 interceptions.
Mainstream national recruiting services highly rate Barajas. 247Sports considers him as the 2nd best Inside Linebacker and 157th overall. Rivals rates Barajas as the 14th best Outside Linebacker and 206th recruit nationally. ESPN ranks him as the 9th best Insider Linebacker and 283rd best prospect overall.
When Barajas arrives at Notre Dame, will he play Inside Linebacker or Outside Linebacker? Barajas' Head Coach Phil Mason told Irish Sports Daily, "I think he's another Jaylon Smith. We played against Jaylon in semi-state Jaylon's senior year, they're the same kid. The fact that they're going to have two bookend linebackers like that, they're going to improve immensely at linebacker." Mason clear perceives Barajas as an Outside Linebacker, most likely a SAM Linebacker in Notre Dame's new defense.

"The services and people at the heart failure clinic are great."
Allen Stanford
heart patient
By Michael Abramowitz
Sunday, February 10, 2013
Allen Stanford has a big heart, in love and in life. In matters of love, a big heart is a wonderful attribute. In medical terms, not so much.
The 78-year-old retired building inspector married the love of his life, Karen, on Sept. 9. Stanford also has congestive heart failure, which causes heart enlargement and organ dysfunction, and has kept him closely connected to hospitals since the mid 1990s. His story is being showcased by the East Carolina Heart Institute at Vidant Medical Center during Heart Failure Awareness Week, which begins today.
The week is part of February's National Heart Month.
Stanford learned he had a heart condition in 1972 when he had a physical exam upon his retirement from the military. His doctor told him he had a heart murmur and put him on a penicillin regimen.
"He told me I'd have to take it for the rest of my life," Stanford said.
He had his first heart attack in the 1990s while running a business he started in Greenville.
"I was lucky because if they (the hospital) hadn't been here then, I wouldn't be here right now," Stanford said.
Stanford had valve replacement surgery following his heart attack. It was the first time he learned about congestive heart failure.
"My heart wasn't pumping the way it was supposed to. They told me if I didn't do something I would drown in my own blood. I had faith in my doctors, so I knew everything would be alright," he said.
Stanford has been in the heart institute's heart failure program since 2011, under the care of a multi-disiplinary team of physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dieticians and other specialists focused on heart care, led by Dr. John Cahill.
Heart failure is a progressive and incurable condition, except when the cause is viral and can be reversed through anti-viral medications, the doctor said.
"Most of the instances we see are from coronary disease, where heart attack causes tissue scarring, which is irreversible," Chaill said. "What we can do, though, is make the remaining muscle pump better, reversing the course of the disease or halting its progress and the associated symptoms. But the heart's ability to repair itself is somewhat limited."
Managing heart failure is vital to sustaining the best quality of life possible. To do that, the heart failure team works in close collaboration with patients and families, said Angela Mayo, the heart institute's manager of heart failure services.
"We're here to support them being the best they can be, wherever they are in their heart condition," Mayo said. "We communicate regularly, daily, if necessary, to keep up on weight changes, medicine schedule, diet and prescription changes and balances. I think that responsiveness helped him to find success at home. Prior to this program he might have had to come into the hospital more frequently."
The Stanfords manage Allen's life carefully. He takes a regular dose of an anti-coagulant and has his blood drawn every 15-20 days to check for its effectiveness. He also takes diuretics to help his body release fluids and hold off or minimize congestive buildup as much as possible.
"Taking medications is not hard to do if you just make up your mind that it's what you have to do," Allen Stanford said. "I get up in the morning and my pills are laid out in my pill box for each day and time. I need to keep fluids from building up in my heart, and if I don't take another of my medications to regulate my heartbeat, my (implanted) defibrillator goes off, and that's no fun."
Karen also helps manage Allen's diet, weight and diabetes control and all his medicine dosages.
"I have my cellphone set to ring at 2 p.m. to keep his regimen regular, whether I'm out of house or out of town," she said.
While Karen keeps Allen's romantic heart happy, and his heart condition did not cause him any hesitation about marriage, Allen knew there would be necessary adjustments he and Karen would have to be clear about ahead of the nuptials.
"As long as you talk about all that up front, there's no problem," Allen Stanford said.
The couple were part of the heart failure program's first support group, coordinated by a staff social worker and nurse.
"We realized it was an opportunity for patients to come together, share their stories and strategies and realize they're not in this alone. At the end of the day, heart failure is just a small part of our patients' lives," Mayo said.
Allen Stanford credits his continuing success to his medical care team's expertise and commitment.
"The services and people at the heart failure clinic are great," Allen Stanford said. "The doctors are great, and the nurses are even better. I know they don't have space for every single heart patient here, but if you can get into this program, you really should try to do that."

I'm still working hard on perfecting my presentation about the death of the Welsh language in my family. Although not the first time I've done it, I've been trying to remind myself of all the Galician I've forgotten in recent months. I suppose in an ideal world we'd have all our skills challenged and applied in equal amounts, but reality is more like a lame horse walking up a hill. Life's banks and hollows, ruts and sods force the horse to use its weak and strong limbs every few steps
Sometimes I use my English and I can dance like a ballet dancer, jumping and landing with grace.
Other times, like today, I am forced to watch ballet in Galician, and try to imitate the graceful moves whilst wearing dock martins and a full So'wester.

Final WIC rule excludes 2% milk
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) has conducted further analysis of the final changes to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) announced last month by USDA. Reduced-fat or 2% milk is now excluded from the program unless the recipient can qualify for a specific health exemption.
USDA's interim final rule from 2007 allowed children older than 24 months and women to choose either 2% reduced-fat milk or 1% low-fat or nonfat milks. With this change, only low-fat or nonfat milk will be the standard issue. Whole milk will still be allowed for infants under 2 years of age (12-23 months).
This rule is effective May 5. For more details and a chart of USDA's WIC Food Package, read IDFA Summary of WIC Final Rule.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal regulators are proposing to ease a rule that would require banks to share some risk in the complicated mortgage investments that helped cause the financial crisis.
Under the proposal advanced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Federal Reserve, banks could exempt relatively safe mortgages from the value of those securities.
The broader requirements would still have banks hold at least 5 percent of the securities on their books.
But banks now could exempt mortgages issued to borrowers who have debt that doesn't exceed 43 percent of their annual income. Regulators had proposed exempting mortgages in which buyers put down 20 percent. But banks complained that would exclude too many buyers with solid finances.
Banks are applauding the change. The head of the American Bankers Association says the new exemption will encourage lenders to continue offering carefully underwritten mortgages, including those with lower down payments.

Britain's Dumbest Dad
Sixteen-year-old Ben Smith is awesome at making babies (he's apparently fathered four kids with three different girls), but really shockingly bad at stuff like basic spelling. It's worth watching through to the end to see the incredibly British debate between Smith and the host, Jeremy Kyle, about whether he's more "chuffed" or "gobsmacked" about the whole thing.

Any damage to the room and/or missing furnishings will be noted on the student's checkout form. This form and the student's key must be turned in to the staff in the residence halls or apartments. Residential students failing to properly check out prior to leaving school will be billed for the cost of changing the room and suite door locks. The students will also be billed for the cost of cleaning the room, repairing damages, moving personal property out of the room and replacing missing furnishings.
Students who leave school during a semester must check out of their rooms following the same procedure as outlined above. Failure to go through the process of checking out will result in the student continuing to be charged for the room as though he/she continues to occupy it.

Originally written on Ring Side News | Last updated 10/27/14
Christian York spoke with Chad Dukes Wrestling Show on 106.7 The Fan / CBS Radio. Here are some highlights. Being thrown into the ring with Jeff Hardy and Bobby Roode so early into his TNA tenure: "I was pretty surprised when they started throwing me into the mix with the two main guys of the whole company. I mean, it's an honor that they've got enough faith to put me in there. I'm just ready to keep this ball rolling, keep going to find out where I can go." TNA Gut Check being a shoot: "They really don't talk to you during the day. All they did was one of the TV guys comes up to me, and he brought me to the ring, and says, 'OK, this is where Al's gonna stand, Taz's gonna be, Bruce is gonna be, Jeremy's gonna be here. Don't cross the ring, you just stand right here is where you wanna stand, and that's it. And the thing with Joey Ryan was, he got the 'No's.' That was a shoot, that was legit, and he got pissed off and he grabbed the mic and the things that he said was not anything that was planned. He did that, he went into business for himself and look what he's got now." Working in the original ECW: "I loved ECW. I loved being there, I didn't understand the psychology, like you can beat the hell out of somebody with a chair, but if you're choking him on the ropes, the referee's counting to five. But it was a heck of a learning experience." CM Punk's success: "I love it because we're guys that are the same size. He's proof that you don't have to be some big jacked up 6-foot-five monster in order to be the face of the company. I've had a lot of friends that have gone up and made it. I know a lot of guys who get so pissed off and disgruntled when they see somebody make it. You should be happy for your friends. My best friend, he went on and made it (Joey Mercury) and everybody's like, 'Oh man you gotta be so pissed off.' I'm like, 'no, what kind of human being are you?'" Bully Ray: "I think Bubba's probably the greatest worker right now to tell the truth, all around guy. I think Bubba's unbelievable, he's so well rounded all the way, everything." MUST SEE: Maria Kanellis Lets Her Ass Hang Out... WOW!!!!!!!!!

It is fairly easy to add some parameters so you can float the content left or right, but the positioning is a bit trickier. Can ofcourse be done with absolute positioning, but it would be neeter to just be able to place the icons in a position or attach the icons to a specific div. This would be fairly easy to do with some Javascript...
Any chance you will add the possibility to place the icons in a module position or inside a ID-specific div?
Thanks for a great plugin.
Thanks for your comment!
-"Any chance you will add the possibility to place the icons in a module position or inside a ID-specific div?"
-Ok. I'm working on it. In addition, will also support third party components.
Un saludo
Seriously, you don't need to know much to use versioning and workflow, just a little bit of logical thinking.
I SOOOOO have longed for this to be Joomla Core because that WOULD more or less be a real competitor and alternative to massively expensive commercial, and often worse, CMS's.
Thanks for making this. :-)
This component saved my father ALOT of work.
The exclude fields currently works only with the "process option" on the main screen since it is possible to also enter the excluded fields on that screen. I plan to modify the code to pickup the exclude option values by default on the save menu item when I have time. However, as this is a free component, that will have to wait until I have a bit of free time.
Actually signed up for an account just to leave this review.
There are ofcourse always room for improvements and enhancements in most cases, but with this one, I can't think of one as of yet.
And yes, you can set the speed and delay.
Thanks for a great module and component.

Oh no! I'm I brought up the fact that "Peter suggested–and Until then, we have Like
Lee Stringer's first book–Grand Central Winter–came out in 1998,
his publisher, as most all publishers do, sent copies of the galleys around
to other established and well-known writers, in the hopes of getting a blurb
or two to slap on the back cover. It's a peculiar and very contrived activity,
this blurbage, but it's all just a given part of the publishing game these
in this case was that Kurt Vonnegut would be so taken with Stringer's account
of his life as one of New York's homeless (as well he should have been–it's
a hell of a book) that he not only wrote an effusive blurb, but he went on to
write the foreword for it as well.
but it is rare, for a first-time author to run into such kindness and grace
from someone of Vonnegut's stature. And while Vonnegut wasn't solely
responsible for making the book such a big seller, it certainly didn't
so much, he wanted to do something significant," Stringer told me when
I talked to him a few weeks ago. "He wrote the foreword, and he wanted
to do more." So Dan Simon of Seven Stories arranged an event: Stringer
and Vonnegut would come together in public to talk about writing and whatever
else came to mind. On Oct. 1 of last year, the two of them were brought before
a crowd at the Astor Place Barnes & Noble. I asked Stringer if he had met
Vonnegut before that night, or if they were just sort of thrown together.
the [Grand Central Winter] book launch," he explained. "I came
in and the place was jammed. CNN was unloading their cameras, getting ready
to bathe everyone in the hot white glow of celebrity. I make my way through
the crowd, and everybody was very nice. I was on a cloud of air. Then Dan says,
'We're going to start in a few minutes, and Kurt's going to introduce
you–you've said hello to him, haven't you?' And I said no,
I haven't seen him. He said he might be outside. So I go outside, and there's
this little receded doorway, with a step. And poking out of that doorway, I
see a pair of knees, a bush of hair and a cigarette, and I said, 'That
must be Kurt.' I go over there, and what I don't know is that Kurt
has no use for small talk. He's impervious to it. And I'm loaded up
with small talk, because I don't know the guy, and I have nothing else.
It's like being in a handball game. I lob one and doom-doom, it
comes right back. And I lob another and doom-doom it comes right back
and I'm getting nowhere, and I'm starting to sweat and I'm thinking,
'This guy's in a bad mood, and I'm totally making a fool of myself.'
So I said to myself, 'Just be humble and honest.' So I said, 'Well,
Mr. Vonnegut'–which he hates to be called–'I just
hope I don't make a fool out of myself. Of course, you've been through
this sort of thing a lot, haven't you?' And he says, 'Never this
far downtown before.' I just ran right back into the building."
sold. Still, Vonnegut and Stringer didn't exactly become best buddies.
It wasn't until the night of the Barnes & Noble event three months
later, in fact, that the two of them got to talking.
go in–and this is my first big, big bookstore–and this very nice,
happy, smiley blonde in a black cocktail dress meets us and says, 'Can
I get you a latte? Let's have a latte–and a danish.' We go to
this little room, and they bring in our latte with this little napkin, and a
little danish, and they ask if there's anything else we might possibly
want, and they bow out the door. I'm thinking, 'Wow, this is special.'
Then two muscular guys wheel two carts full of books in there. I get it–we're
here to work. And so we're sitting there face to face across the
table, a cartful of my books next to me, and a cartful of Timequake next
to him–there must've been 200 of each. We're sitting there signing,
and that's when I got to know him."
public conversation later that evening into a book came almost immediately.
thought that it was a great, great evening. I was so nervous, I didn't
remember a thing… But Kurt and Dan really thought it went well. I don't
know if it was the same night or a little later, Dan said, 'This could
be a book.' I didn't see it at first. I thought, 'Yeah, it's
a free book for me!' But Dan put some touches to it. In paring down this
and that, he really made a book out of it. It's an actual book.
I got a sense of character out of it. Almost a slight arc. There's a distance
traveled between us, between the first and the last thing. Most of the credit
goes to Dan's editing.
a pure form of writing," he continued. "We all take reality and put
it on a page. But he did it with the least intrusion–just enough to make
it a book. It's very much to Dan's credit that that book is as good
as it is."
first conversation, the two of them were brought together a second time, to
pick up where they left off. Instead of going public this time, they (along
with a moderator and a photographer) met at the more intimate Cafe de Paris,
and that conversation was transcribed as well. Both chats are now being released
as Like Shaking Hands With God, timed to coincide with the release of
the paperback edition of Grand Central Winter; Vonnegut's new collection
of old short stories, Bagombo Snuff Box.; and, perhaps coincidentally,
the film version of Breakfast of Champions.
Hands stands up very well on its own. Even on the page it's fascinating
to watch these two interact; Vonnegut, the droopy, weary, embittered and still
underappreciated Grand Old Man of Letters, and Stringer, who's younger,
still enthusiastic about what he's doing and still seems awed that he's
become a successful writer.
despite what you might expect from someone who not too long beforehand had been
living on the streets, Stringer comes off as the more eloquent and thoughtful
of the two, while Vonnegut sounds grumpy and tired. Near the end of the first
section, when asked if there is anything to be optimistic about, Vonnegut replies,
"I'm going to die!"
asks Stringer, "Do you run into old friends who are still on the street?"
Stringer replies.
to rescue them, or to do something for them?"
not a very nice guy."
on to explain that it's not a matter of being nice or being mean–it's
a matter of not being presumptuous. There's a scene in Grand Central
Winter in which one of Stringer's old business partners finds him collecting
cans and offers him a job, which Stringer turns down, content and determined
to make it on his own.
myself is going to be a lifetime job."
the two spend most of their time talking about the process of writing and being
a writer–a mysterious business Stringer compares to "shaking hands
with God." And that's where things really begin to shine. Vonnegut,
sounding like a man who's relieved to be at the end of his career and who's
actually rather tired of talking about what he does for a living, concentrates
on the notion of sincerity. Sincerity and the writer's obligation to the
reader. If a writer isn't sincere in whatever he writes, he says, the reader
will recognize it immediately and stop reading. That's why Jacqueline Susann
was so popular, he argues–because she was absolutely sincere when she wrote
Valley of the Dolls. At the same time, however, he also talks about the
uses and value of irony.
me a bit baffled, after establishing the role irony plays in his work, Vonnegut
goes on to say, "Well, the nice thing about our trade, as compared with
poetry or with painting, possibly with music, is we don't envy each other…
Novelists do not envy each other, and if a writer succeeds, makes a lot of money,
say, that makes all other writers happy."
or we don't know any of the same people.
my problem is?" Stringer asks, when the subject of writing a second book
comes up. "I know things I shouldn't know now. I know the afterward
stuff. What Barnes & Noble is doing, how Oprah might respond, what stores
put up front and what they don't put up front."
about his frustrations concerning a second book, Vonnegut actually tries to
talk him out of writing it, telling him that he's already done his job,
and that there's no obligation whatsoever to go and do another one. I asked
Stringer what he was thinking when Vonnegut started telling him that.
he meant. And it took me a while to realize what he meant. He had put a finger
on something that I wasn't even aware of. It was always assumed by me that
we'd go on to another book. That was an assumption based on momentum. I
had never stopped and said, 'Do I want to go through the process again?
Can I go through it again? And do I have something more to say?'
The momentum was driving me on to another book, and what he meant by those words
was, 'Is this what you want to do?' I thought about it, and I said,
'Well, hell yeah. I do want to do it.'"
all over the world to give lectures and readings. In early October, he was asked
to give a talk before the United Nations Council on Poverty. Not long afterward,
he was shuttled off to Germany. It's become a strange ride for a crack
addict who was living in the tunnels of Grand Central a few years ago.
summer writing," he says. "I feel like a fraud one minute and a genius
the next. My self-esteem plunges when I can't do what I want to do; despite
all the evidence otherwise, I feel like nothing. [Novelist] Peter Blauner taught
me that this is not an aberration, this is not to be worked out of the process–it
is the fucking process. So now I still go through it, but I go through
it without despair, and with faith that is has and it might lead somewhere again."
book looking?
going to kill myself!" he screamed. Then he caught his breath. "It's
teasing itself together. We don't know what it's going to be. I have
a shitload of writing, some of it about the past and some of it recent stuff
that I'm writing for a number of anthologies that asked me to contribute
pieces–which is a good thing, because I get to break back into the process
with small victories, rather than having to wait out the whole book. The thing
about writing a memoir from earlier life is that there are any number of stories
to tell. But there have to be reasons to tell each of them. And that reason
has to tie into the reason for the book. And that I usually don't discover
right away. In Grand Central Winter, I had the circumstance of homelessness
as sort of a launching pad to go in any direction I wanted, really. And I didn't
have that [now] until about four, five months ago. I started writing about when
I was sent away to not-quite reform school. There's stuff to be mined in
that, but I want to get a whole bunch of other stuff in there as well. Again,
with the camera on the inside looking out, rather than getting the audience
to watch me in action."

the UN,
for one.
it's a very good suggestion–ever since the book came out, I've
been here and there, and I tell him all my adventures. And he's been saying,
'Oh, you gotta save that one.' But I don't want to fall into
the rock star syndrome, where the second album is about the travails of being
a rock star. But then he gave me an angle–I was telling him about the UN
thing, and he suggested that it would be not so much about my travails but,
'Here I am, back in America,' so to speak, and it's a Bizarro
place. It's almost like a road picture–this macabre world that anyone
lamented I was out of. That's a very good angle, if I can pull it off."
Shaking Hands With God to keep us busy. Going back and looking again at
what Stringer and Vonnegut have to say, it becomes clear that there's more
honest wisdom in this little volume than you're likely to find in most
any other single book this year. And not just about writing, either, even if
that's specifically what they're talking about. What they say about
our motivations and how we do what we do can be applied most anywhere, to almost
any human pursuit. And for that, this book's a gem.

|Understanding Reflection, Part 1
|Yes, but Why?

I have read a lot about reflection and understand what it gives me, but I haven't really found myself in a position to need to discover things about an object at run-time in contrast to knowing them at compile-time. I'm not saying there isn't a reason for it--I just don't know what the reason(s) would be. What are some real-world uses of reflection (besides simple use of the typeof operator)?

There may be instances where you need to run several methods from the same assembly. For instance, when a user changes his/her password, th3e proposed new password would need to be checked against each one of the company's password rules.
You could have the password change application use reflection to dynamically find all methods of the business rule assembly which contains the password rules (Each password rule is represented by one method). Then the change password app can call each of those methods, passing the (password) string, and checking for a return of boolean true.
If you ever need to add a new password rule, you would only need to modify the password rule assembly, adding the appropriate business rule method. The calling application would still dynamically find each method, including the new one you added, and run each of them.
Since you are changing less of the code, this can reduce the amount of testing needed before deploying the updated version.
Yes, but Why?

Nevermind. Didn't see that someone else just posted almost the same question.
