[FIN] I Couldn't Leave You
Please leave comments
. Thanks. Sorry it has taken a long time to post a finished version (which remains unedited), but I forgot about this Fan Fic. This came joint third place and I find it much better than A Marriage Proposal. Enjoy.
Star Wars - I Couldnt Leave You
When the Jedi Exile, Sera Tana reunites with her master, the former Jedi Master, Jorran Corral, will they trust each other again after everything that has happened?
I dont own Star Wars or anything related to the franchise. I only claim Jorran Corral my own character and the planet, Maytarr my own planet.
Authors Note:
This was going to be a scene I would write for my cancelled Fan Fic series, The Sera Tana Saga. This would be from the fourth Fan Fic, The Quest for Dominance, where Sera dies in this scene. The only problem I have with this Fic is that the whole theme of love might take over, but hopefully, the rescue theme is more obvious in this Fic, but I do drown on about love in this Fic, but I hope this wont put you off. Please review, since my first Fan Fic was worse than this one and this took me an hour and a half to write. This is my second Fan Fic for the Tales from Javyar's Cantina competitions and was slightly inspired by JasraLantills Fan Fic, First Love, Last Embrace. Enjoy!
Jorran Corral ran forwards, into the sunlight, which shone through the opened tomb doors. Behind him the Jedi Exile, Sera Tana struggled to keep up, as the tomb began to collapse around her. The Twilek former Jedi Master turned to see Sera resisting to give up and die. Jorran realised now that he loved the first apprentice, he had ever had. Even though she left him to die, all those years ago in the same tomb, Jorrans bitterness for her was his sign of love. Too bad, Jorran had never shown it for her and he wasnt sure if she loved him.
Sera continued to struggle, amongst the collapsing walls of the tomb. Jorran held out his hand and shouted only one word.
It was that one word that made Jorran remember the day he begged his own apprentice for his life, sixteen years ago.
What is in there? Sera asked enthusiastically, as Jorran finished making a hole in the wall, so the two of them could enter.
Jorran went in first, his lightsaber held high, so see in the darkness. This tomb was dark, desolate and quiet. There were no signs of life. Jorran held Seras hand and pulled her down into the tomb. She ignited her lightsaber, a yellow blade, accompanying her masters orange blade.
In here my apprentice, is the remains of an old Sith Lord, Jorran told her, walking forwards towards the locked door in front of them.
Sera, Im coming!
Who was this Sith Lord? Sera asked, still excited at the prospect of one her first assignments, the Jedi Council had sent her with her master.
Jorran began to pick on the heavy lock, which was situated on the handle of the door.
Nobody knows, Jorran told her, All the wise Jedi Masters know is that this Sith Lord died over thousands and thousands of years ago. Who knows who this Sith Lord could be.
Who was that Sith Lord? Someone Jorran had been serving under for sixteen years after his assumed death. Why did Jorran fall to the dark side?
The lock opened and the door swung open, its hinges creaking. That door must have been over thousands and thousands of years old. In fact, it must be much older than the Sith Lord. Jorran assumed that this tomb was much older than the corpse that was rotting inside. Inside, Jorran could see several creatures living inside the tomb. Kath Hounds. How would they have managed to survive?
Sera! Jorran called out, as the Kath Hounds starred at the two of them, Defend yourself girl!
The tomb kept collapsing in front of Jorran. He just stood there, watching his only apprentice, failing to exit the tomb. She wouldnt be able to survive, unless Jorran tried to help.
Hold on Sera! Jorran shouted, over the collapsing rocks, Im coming to get you!
Finally, the last of the Kath Hounds that had attacked the two Jedi fell to the ground. Jorran turned to see his apprentice walk towards him and with him, they stared at the now deceased Kath Hounds.
How would they be able to survive in such a place? Sera asked.
Jorran shook his head.
Im not sure, Jorran told her, Something might be keeping these innocent creatures alive. Something in the darkness.
Yes, A voice echoed, Youre right old man. Your senses serve you well.
Fool! The same voice from all those years ago echoed, You dont realise that your senses arent serving you well. Youll die in this tomb old man!
Jorran ran, dodging every single rock that tried to stop him.
Oh keep quiet, Jorran shouted, his voice becoming less heard, as more rocks collapsed, Ive become tired of serving you.
Sera lay on the floor, a large rock on her left leg, preventing her from moving.
Hold on, Jorran told Sera, smiling at her, This may take a while.
You are very capable of serving me old man, The voice continued, I, Lan Navh will make it happen.
Suddenly, a rock fell onto Jorran, immediately bringing him to floor. Jorran tried to use the Force to lift the rock off his right leg. More rocks began to fall inside the tomb. Sera immediately ran to her fallen master. She tried to use the Force to lift the rock off her masters leg. Her Force powers hadnt yet developed to the stage to lift up heavy objects. In the end, Sera took out her lightsaber.
Sera, I dont think that is a good idea, Jorran warned her.
But it was too late. Sera ignited her lightsaber and it stuck into the rock and Jorrans leg. Jorran shouted in pain, making hand gestures, telling Sera to stop.
Sorry master, Sera told him.
No problem apprentice, Jorran told her, You tried your best. Now go!
What? Sera asked, I cant
Go! Jorran interrupted, Otherwise youll never live to become the Jedi Knight you are capable of becoming.
Sera nodded and left Jorran, despite the fact she didnt want to. Jorran lay back and let the Force take him into his afterlife within the Force. His eyes closed and even over the collapsing rocks, he could hear his apprentices final words, the final words that Jorran would remember for a long time.
I wouldnt leave you! Sera shouted, before she left for good.
Jorran called upon the Force to lift up the rock. The Force was much stronger in him, than his apprentice. Lans voice continued to echo, mocking the old Jedi Master. Shouldnt he have died by now? Jorran managed to finally lift the rock off Seras leg and threw it into a corner of the tomb. He bent down and picked up Sera, helping her to walk.
Lets get out of this place, Jorran told her, walking slowly, holding Sera up, so she could hop beside him.
Rocks continued to fall, one sending both Jorran and Sera onto the floor.
Go! Sera shouted.
But Jorran began.
No master! Sera interrupted, A wise master once told me that if I never left you, I would never become the person I was today. You must follow my path master, which Ive now completed. The path that you forsaken sixteen years ago, which you need to complete.
Jorran nodded and ran to the exit of the tomb. He realised now that he wasnt the Jedi Master now. It was his apprentice. He looked back at his apprentice for one last time.
I couldnt leave you, Jorran told her, before watching her death, for he knew now that he could do nothing to save her now.
The tomb collapsed onto Jorran.
No! Sera shouted, before she wept.
The tomb collapsed onto Sera.
No! Jorran shouted, trying to keep strong for Sera.
Sera turned to leave the tomb. What would she tell the Jedi Council? That a deceased Sith Lord was responsible for the death of her master? The one who had had faith in her for all of his life? The one who had taken her aboard for training? The one who had made a future successful Jedi Knight?
Jorran turned to leave the tomb. What would he tell her husband, Atton Rand? That a tomb had just collapsed on his wife? The one who had had faith in him all of her life? The one who had become his only successful apprentice? The one who had begged him to be trained? The one who had made an unsuccessful Jedi Master?
Nearby, the ship, Sera had travelled on was right next to the now fallen tomb. Jorran leapt into the ship and took off, spending his time back to Alderaan, grieving for his apprentice. Jorran looked below at Maytarr. He swore that one-day, he would come back to his apprentice. He knew she had life in her yet.
As Alderaan came into sight, Jorran thought of a poem that someone had once written.
Love would never make us husband and wife,
for you have another life.
A life that needs to be spent as wisely as possible,
for if not taken wisely, will surely be impossible.
Someone else is out there,
waiting for you now.
Why should I care?
Do I care how?
That special person is waiting for you somewhere,
and trust me that theyll be there.
For one day love will keep you both together.
That was how Jorran felt about Sera. He docked inside the hangar on Alderaan and was greeted by Seras husband, Atton. Jorran knew that he would be excited to see his wife again, but how could Jorran put it in a way that didnt sound rude. Jorran got out of the ship and walked over to Atton.
Where is Sera? Atton asked excitedly, I was thinking about us two going to the nearby cantina and getting us
Im sorry Atton, Jorran began, guilty of interrupting Attons happy hour, Im afraid Sera has passed away.

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Accessories' started by Chris Platte, Sep 28, 2011.
Just wondering which is better the in channel or stick on visors?
They really arent any different i have the stick on AVS black smoked ones they help out allot!
I know people that had there in-channels blow out while driving with there windows down. Wife has stick-on AVS since '05 on her Trailblazer and there hang'n in. I don't have any because I don't like the way they look, JMO.
Most brands of in channel visors now use double sided tape so the problems they had blowing out of the window channel should be non-existent if they're properly installed (as in clean the window channel good before installing them!).
The only issue I've ever had installing the in channel style is on the new fords and dodges that have the auto-up windows. You pull on the window switch and it goes up by itself, except with the auto up it detects the visor in the channel and makes the windows go back down. I haven't seen that feature yet on the new GM trucks, but I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up in 2012 or 2013.
It's about the same either way, these days, so choose in-channel or stick-on based on the look you want. Also poke around with the search function on the forums before buying, as there are high quality and low-quality for both types ... and learning what's worked well for others (and what hasn't) may save you some pain.
I have the in channel from weather tech they are a little pricey. But would nut go with anything but with weather tech they install in about 5 to 10 minutes with out tape.
Separate names with a comma.

One of the easier PvP achievements is Duel-icious. All you have to do is win a duel.
Easy, especially of you rig it!
So I put out the call and Tree Hugged Dave and a Priest mate signed up to roll over.
Once they arrived and we exited Ironforge (can't duel inside?), I buffed THD (cause I am a nice Gnome). He buffed, himself and we went at it.
Hang ok, he's fighting back! That's not I'm the job description, he's meant to just stand there and take it like the Night Elf he is!
Damn lost that one.
However my Priest mate offers to become toast.
I buff him. He buffed… Himself… Sound familiar?
We go at it, I lose again!
Damn them, they were healing and buffing each other!
One more time with feeling, and THD goes down, but I will never know if I beat him, or he rolled.
Just remember boys and girls, if you try to cheat Blizz you open up yourself to be cheated by your mates!
Gnomer and Out!

Kentucky State Police say it happened on KY-61 at about 1:40 in the afternoon.
Glenda Downey, 44, of Jamestown was driving a 1992 Oldsmobile.
She was going south on the Columbia bypass when she ran a red light and crashed into pick up, that pick up then crashed into another pick up.
One of the trucks, going West on Burkesville Street was being driven by Ronald Gibson, 59, of Columbia.
Gibson then struck a 1996 Chevrolet that was going east on Burkesville Street.
Cynthia Harvey, 59, was driving the second truck.
Downey was pronounced dead at the scene by the Adair County Coroner.
Gibson and Harvey were transported to Westlake Hospital where they were treated and released.

H33rsay: The mysterious Assassin's Creed Comet gets new detailsWritten by: / / 2 Comments
H33rsay is El33tonline's round-up of game industry rumours and speculation where we have looks at unconfirmed and unannounced pieces of news emerging from anonymous tipsters, information leaks and generally dubious sources. It may not all be true, but it's still fun to talk about!
Earlier this week we made mention of something called 'Assassin's Creed Comet,' a (by now) common codename for what is widely believed to be the 2014 edition of Assassin's Creed on previous generation consoles like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, due to release alongside the confirmed Assassin's Creed: Unity on new generation consoles this year.
We spoke about Assassin's Creed Comet in the most skeptical terms – a photo of a monitor displaying an in-progress Ubisoft press release can easily be faked, while the contents of the text were also questionable. According to a new report at French website GameBlog, though, we've got some new details on this supposed, rumoured and highly mysterious game. But are they real?
Assassin's Creed Comet Gets New Details
Gameblog reports that Assassin's Creed Comet takes place circa 1758 and will star Shay, a sailor who apparently betrays the captain of the ship he previously served on during its voyage over the Atlantic Ocean, which means the game will include the ship building and gameplay from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. A visit to New York of the time period is also on the cards while previous characters including Haytham Kenway and Adewalé will make appearances.
The mention of Shay as the key protagonist is different to the previous rumour which mentions a main character named 'Eseosa,' the grandson of Adelwale, who will seek the guidance of Connor from Assassin's Creed III. Like Connor, however, Eseosa might be another more Westernised name for Shay.
More details on Gameblog's reports of Assassin's Creed Comet can be found with a translation of the text over here, which seems much more detailed and legitimate than the previous Comet rumours, which have since been denied by the supposed comment poster on Ubisoft's blog, UK forum manager 'Mr_Shade.'
The existence of the game, however, has not been denied.
Do you think we'll see an announcement of Assassin's Creed Comet any time soon? Would you want to play another game set in the time period of Assassin's Creed III?

A group of Red Cross volunteers from our area have made it to New York to aid in Superstorm Sandy disaster relief.
Several Northeast residents are still in need, and you can help out.
"There is a pile of trees and brush and stuff that has been collected in a large parking lot at a race track," described one volunteer, "On the way in we passed several lines that are waiting at gas stations. One was a mile long. And several other gas stations are closed because there is no gas, or they don't have power to pump it with,"
The volunteers are in Queens giving out food and water to millions who are in need.
And there are ways you can help those in need, even thousand of miles away.
"They can text "Red Cross" to 90999 to make a 10 dollar donation that will go to American Red Cross disaster relief," said Jennifer Capps, Director of the American Red Cross of South Central Kentucky.
A blood drive will be held Friday at the University Plaza Holiday Inn between 10:30 and 4:30.
The Red Cross says there's a great need for blood in the disaster relief areas.
"The Tennessee Valley Blood Region is sending blood products to the areas that have been affected," Capps said.
Capps says 350 blood drives have been canceled because of Superstorm Sandy, leaving hospitals in need of blood.
"We're currently getting together with the Meade and Davies County associations, going up and leaving Friday to set up a kitchen in Middletown, New York," says Eddie Talley with the Warren Association of Southern Baptists.
The Warren Association of Southern Baptists will be leaving Friday around 4.
The group is in need of water and baby supplies, specifically diapers.
"FEMA is here setting up four different trailers, just as fast at they can, and I see a lot of urgency with the power companies trying to get the power back on in the areas that have been without power for a few days," the volunteer said.
The volunteer said different groups from all over the nation are coming together to get the Northeast back on it's feet.
If you would like to send supplies with the Warren Association of Southern Baptists, you can drop off donations at Living Hope Baptist Church by 4 Friday afternoon.

on the website you can get many phones.
not sure how this walmart coverage is but since there are walmarts everywhere im guessing its good
LG Optimus Logic™ $89.99
Android™ 2.33.2" Touch Screen3 MP Camera/Video Recorder3G/Wi-Fi® Connectivity800 MHz Processor Bluetooth® Wireless TechnologyMP3 Player (cable not included)This phone will only work with the $45 Unlimited Plan or the $60 Unlimited + International Plan
Both my wife and I have this phone. Coverage has not been an issue, it's much better than the AT&T 3G on my first gen iPad. The slide-out keyboard is nice for people, like me, who hate touch pads. There are cheaper phones out there if you don't want a slide out.
Oops, this is a Straight Talk phone, ours are Net10 aka TracFone, so I can't say how good the coverage is. If it sucks, for $5 you can get a Net10 sim.
I have this phone and love it!!!!! The coverage is handled by Verizon.... I live in a fringe coverage area and Verizon handles the fringe in my area better than the others. The only real disadvantage to this phone is I run out of internal memory real quickly.
Does anybody know if you can tether with Straight Talk?
Your service agreement says no, and if your busted, they end your service.
this is not on the Verizon network. When it prompts you to enter a zip code, enter a Montana one, i.e. 59404, as Montana basically only has V. Then it will list the phone models for that area using verizon network (it will also show an outline of the USA with red-colored coverage). I bought the Proclaim and went to a farm in very rural NE Iowa, and was able to use the 3g and post pix to FB while out in the boonies. But so far I think ST only has 2 Android models utilizing Verizon's 3g network (same with Net10)
@sparepocket: they are really down on that, but if you go to Google Play, there is a tether app that supposedly screens your tethering. I've used it, albeit a bit sparingly, and it works well, but don't do any streaming or downloading. If you just want to surf and e-mail, I've not had a problem. Also, keep it to 100mb/day and 2gb/month. Another app called 3g Watchdog (free and works great) is a great way to monitor your data usage, as it most certainly is not "unlimited"
edit: I'm not recommending either way, so enter at your own risk
I've also had this phone for Virgin Mobil... Sprints Network... The service foot print is different between the two CDMA networks... also the box I bought at the store level was listed as CDMA-V.....
@ookiimamoru: ah, then I stand corrected
@daninboulder: You've tested that and it works? Nice! I'm sold on the phone if I'm getting Verizon coverage.
@daninboulder: Oh wait, it seems if you enter the zip code 59404, it doesn't offer this particular sale phone. :(

Every class gets a certain amount of points per level up. How are these points distributed in each of the five classes?
The attribute gain is 5 points per level, and they are mostly distributed in favor of your main attribute.
For example: Monk will gain at 2-3 dexterity, and the remaining points are distributed to the other stats (all stats won't necessarily increase, either).
The remaining stats may get a 1-2 point upgrade; I've been noticing a pattern where as a monk, I usually get 2-3 dex, 1-2 vitality, 0-1 int, 0-1 str.
So it would seem there's the main preferred stat, a secondary stat, and leftovers. :P

A Senator's Surprising Inauguration Shout-Out Probably Wasn't So Surprising
It may have struck many people as odd that Lamar Alexander, the senior senator from Tennessee, gave a shout-out to Alex Haley, the author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, during his remarks at the presidential inauguration.
"The late Alex Haley, the author of Roots, lived his life by these six words: Find the good and praise it," Alexander said Monday on the National Mall, just before he introduced Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who swore in Vice President Biden. (Alexander was the only Republican lawmaker to speak at President Obama's inauguration.)
But it turns out that Alexander and Haley, who died in 1992, were old friends from way back, according to The Washington Post.
"The Tennessee Republican and the celebrated author were good friends. During his second term as governor, Alexander invited Haley to co-chair a homecoming celebration for Tennesseans. During the planning, Haley was convinced to move back to the state. The two once traveled for weeks on a cargo ship together, both working on books. Alexander has called Haley 'the greatest storyteller Tennessee has ever produced.' "
In 2011, Alexander donated many of his papers, including his long correspondence with Haley, to Vanderbilt University.

Fire Watch
Thomas Merton's epilogue to The Sign of Jonas is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful and profound texts he has ever written:
The voice of God is heard in Paradise: "What was vile has become precious. What is now precious was never vile. I have always known the vile as precious: for what is vile I know not at all. What was cruel has become merciful. What is now merciful was never cruel. I have always overshadowed Jonas with my mercy and cruelty I know not at all. Have you had sight of Me, Jonas, My child? Mercy within mercy within mercy. I have forgiven the universe without end, because I have never known sin. What was poor has become infinite. What is infinite was never poor. I have always known poverty as infinite: riches I love not at all. Prisons within prisons within prisons. Do not lay up for yourselves ecstasies upon earth, where time and space corrupt, where the minutes break in and steal. No more lay hold on time, Jonas, My son, lest the rivers bear you away. What was fragile has become powerful. I loved what was most frail. I looked upon what was nothing. I touched what was without substance and within what was not I AM."
Jonas, the reluctant prophet with whom Merton identifies himself, is an image of death and resurrection. The text eloquently describes the radical intensity of both terms. What is dead is truly dead; what is alive is truly alive.
These lines were written on July 4, 1952, when Merton was on the fire watch at Gethsemani Abbey, relative early in his monastic life. He would evolve in many ways over the subsequent years, ceasing to demonize the world and becoming involved in the civil-rights movement and Christian pacifism. He would also discover Eastern Christian spirituality as well as non-Christian Asiatic traditions. He would fight with his abbot, fall in love with a nurse and become a sort of lightening rod both inside and outside his monastery. Yet God would not let go of Jonas. In October 1968—a few months before his death, Merton gave a talk in Calcutta:
The only ultimate reality is God. God lives and dwells in us. We are not justified by any action of our own, but we are called by the voice of God…to pierce through the irrelevance of our own life, while accepting that our life is totally irrelevant in order to find relevance in Him. And this relevance in Him is something that can only be received, not something we grasp or possess. It is something that can only be received as a gift. Consequently, the kind of life that I represent is a life that is openness to gift; a gift from God and a gift from others.
Many years ago I assisted at a class of Abbé Journet where he commented upon the Miserere. There had recently been a corrective retranslation of the Vulgate and in the opening verse of this psalm the original text was "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great Mercy." The revised version dropped the adjective "great" and Abbé Journet was indignant. He needed God's great mercy, not his little mercy and thought we all did!
What Merton expresses on a very personal level also holds true, I believe, on an ecclesial level as well—as a basic attitude of great humility and great hope. The gifts of God are such that they can wipe the slate, make nonexistent all that is impure and unworthy in us and make us pleasing unto God—almost in spite of ourselves. This would not be too different from the message of mercy that is becoming one of the trademarks of the pontificate of Pope Francis.

Thank you for this, Jerry. Your quotations from Merton remind of Isaac of Syria's invitation to respond to God's great mercy by turning our own hearts toward mercy, according to God's grace:
"What is a merciful heart? It is a heart on fire for the whole of creation, for humanity, for the birds, for the animals, for demons, and for all that exists. By the recollection of them the eyes of a merciful person pour forth tears in abundance. By the strong and vehement mercy that grips such a person's heart, and by such great compassion, the heart is humbled and one cannot bear to hear or to see any injury or slight sorrow in any in creation. For this reason, such a person offers up tearful prayer continually even for irrational beasts, for the enemies of the truth, and for those who harm her or him, that they be protected and receive mercy. And in like manner such a person prays for the family of reptiles because of the great compassion that burns without measure in a heart that is in the likeness of God."
It's in calling for a heart on fire for the demons, the enemies of truth, and for those who do me harm that Isaac's words catch in my throat. I can't do this, certainly not alone. In this invitation to fill my own heart with mercy, I discover once again how utterly dependent I am on the great mercy of God.
How different the Fire Watch passage is from Merton's description of one of his early experiences had while standing on a street corner in Louisville, and how different the Fire Watch description is from his experience near the end of his life in Polunnawara. In Louisville he experienced God's being present within the quite ordinary people walking around him, and a beautiful, joyous experience it was. In Polunnawara he experienced absolute Compassion being present in some great outdoor statures of the Buddha. In neither case does God scorn this world of space and time and matter.
So how to account for this Fire Watch experience in which Merton seems to turn himself -- and God --totally away from this world. I suspect that he might have been trying to make headway with the problem of evil and found a highly inventive way to dispose of it: he claims that somehow in the future (not in the past) evil will never have really existed, its very reality in the past having somehow been wiped out by mercy in some meta-world beyond space and time.
But Merton doesn't say this is an *experience* of Mercy wiping out pain outside of time. In other words he's not describing a religious experience. I think this passage is just an attempt at a philosophical solution -- a meta-metaphysical one (if one may coin such a monstrous term) in which outside of time and space the painful contents of time and space are said to be destroyed. History is destroyed. It does not seem to be an experiential one, and Merton doesn't say that it is, does he?
So I don't think that Merton has really grounded pure Mercy by wiping out cruelty. There is no mercy without pain.
I agree that in this passage, Merton no doubt was trying to reconcile a philosophical problem; he was an intellecutual afterall. At the same time, this passage from Merton does move me psychologically and spiritually and somehow helps to understand the reality of who God is and help me move out of a certain negative self-deprecating space. I think the same can be true for others as well. There is a redemptive quality, a renewal, and a resurrection of sorts that is being described here. Of course, this is not a permanent state but perhaps it does point to an eternal destinty.
Here's a visual to complement your reflection and discussion:
Brian --
Thanks for the St. Isaac. Yes, if we're truly Christian we should pray even for the snakes (both actual and figurative) :-)
"We are not justified by any action of our own, but we are called by the voice of God…to pierce through the irrelevance of our own life, while accepting that our life is totally irrelevant in order to find relevance in Him."
His attitude doesn't value the world or our lives in it, and that doesn't seem very Christian. Jesus came here "that they may have life, and have it to the full". Merton sounds like a Gnostic.
Hmmm - maybe that's why Buddhism so appealed to him: the Four Noble Truths are about life being suffering and how to avoid it.
Crystal --
I'm not sure that Merton was a Gnostic. I see him as a very complex, even contradictory personality who was both drawn to the world and repulsed by it, with, simultaneously, a quite healthy, balanced appreciation of it, though sometimes drawn too intensely to things of he flesh. What I particularly appreciate about him is that his loves were not abstract (though he was, I suspect, a better theologian than he's generally noted for), but very concrete, very particular. I think that most of all he loved God -- why else would he have stayed a monk all those years? All in all he was intensely human.
He also had a great ability look beyond his own interests and little world and suffer with the poor and otherwise dispossed. It was his interest in the outside world that won him so many public plaudits. I wish that he were better known these days for the man he was -- a struggler who never gave up and never made himself the center of the universe.
How do the rest of you all read him?
Hi Ann. I haven't read any of his works, so I probably should do that before I draw too many conclusions about him :)
Crystal --
Merton's "New Seeds of Contemplation" is one of his most popular books. Obviously, it's about contemplative prayer, but it isn't about methods, e.g., centering prayer. It does give some good advice, however, for instance about recognizing our "false self" which turns us from God and about finding our true self which is oriented towards Him. You can get a copy from Bookfinder for uner $4.
Then there's his classic autobiography, "The Seven Story Mountain". Your public library should have it. I think it's a good idea when reading his other works to know where he's coming from.
Thanks, Ann. I'll look for The Seven Story Mountain first. I'm really bad at centering prayer - it's kind of the opposite of Ignatian prayer, I think :)
I have read many of Merton's works including New Seeds of Contemplation and Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander where he recounts the famous epiphany he had after visiting the dentist. It was then, that he saw clearly the image of God in every person and how each was loved by God and how he in turn was able to love them. This moved him to engagement with humanity as a means of moving close to God as well.
I have always enjoyed Merton's prose and I find his sprituality at once simple, deep, and sublime.
I never really was much drawn into the details around his falling in love with the nurse. I think that is interesting but it is a personal matter for him. But, it does make him very human and I think he addressed this with fidelity to his vows and senstivity. I do think that this was a significant relationship but he was, by vocation, a solitary and an intense interpersonal relationship was not something he could navigate.
Still, he was clearly a passionate man and required the monastic discipline to focus his creative and expansive mind. You can see the intensity in his eyes in some photographs. At the same time, in his writings there is such gentleness and calm.
As one particularly interested in the variety of mystical experiences, I find Merton particularly interesting because his experience of the people in Louisville as children of God is, so far as I can see, a very *Protestant* experience. I've read a variety of mystical works and have been struck by this: Cradle Catholics who are mystics do not seem to have mystical experiences of the presence of God in the material world. All the cradle Catholics I've read have had experieces focusing within themselves and on presense of God within themselves. This inclination, it seems to me, explains why centering prayer is so popular among cradle Catholics -- it is focused entirely away from the world and on God.
But Merton was Anglican in background, and he talks of at least two experiences of the presense of God in physical things: the first was the Louisville experience and the second was his experience just weeks before his death at Polunnawara where he became aware of the presence of Compassion/God in some great statures of Buddha. (Sadly, Merton was shy of writing about his own particular mystical experiences, so he described few of them.)
I haven't come across many such Protestant experiences of God in the world (an experience of the great Johnathan Edwards is a memorable one). I suppose it's because the Protestant faiths abandoned contemplation in reaction against the corruption of the monks and monasteries. There is, however, now a renewed interest in contemplation among some Protestants. They have a lot of catching up to do.
On the other hand, I think that Catholics might profit from Merton, Edwards et al by being open to such outward-oriented mystical experiences. Catholicism teaches that God is present in all creatures, including the material ones, so why not? Further, given the interest in Nature of so many seekers these days, such a spiritual practice -- of becoming aware of God in Nature -- might be very appealing ot them. True, genuine religious mystical experiences are a gift of God, but He is generous, and different spiritualities appeal to different persons.
I think Teresa of Avila and Catherine of Siena had mystical experiences that were not of the 'centering prayer' kind but were pretty material - experiences of Jesus and angels being in the room with them, etc.?
I don't know about St. Catherine, but St. Teresa had some of the most extraordinary, non-visionary mystical experiences of all, as did her friend St. John of the Cross. While for a few people centering prayer does eventually lead to extraordinary mystical experiences, for most it doesn't. Do read Fr. Keating's "Open Mind, OPen Heart" if you haven't already.
There are many different sorts of mystical experiences. Some are called "mystical" that don't even claim to be meetings with God, but they too are ecstatic and overwhelming. See R. C. Zaehner's Mysticism: Sacred and Profane about this.
Bernard McGinn's monumental 'The Presence of God" (now at Vol. V) is a history of Christian mysticism which is quite readable, but now at Volume V. Given my meager understanding of what the Christian contemplatives are talking about, there really isn't just one sort of experience, even though all of them are somehow awarenesses of the presence of Go. But God is infinite and what each mystic seems to grasp seems to differ somewhat from mystic ot mystic. The problem seems to be that God is so different from things in the world that we don't have words that can accurately describe HIm. It's all analogical talk.
Thanks for the book recommendations. The interesting difference between centering prayer (and eastern forms of meditation) and Ignatian prayer is the whole experience thing. Centering prayer seems to be about silence, emptying oneself, waiting, experiencing the indwelling spirit. But Ignatian prayer is about using everyting, including the imagination, to give form to a Jesus/God who is other enough that you can have a personal relationship with him. Centering prayer seems self-denying, but without a healthy self, you can't have a relationship with anyone else, even God. Or at least that's how I have come to understand the difference between the prayer styles :)
I'd say that centering prayer is not self-denying, the contemplative just turns away from the usual perambulations of consciousness to focus on accepting God's presence and will. So the self is emptied but only momentarily. (Most people don't achieve that state for very long at a time and go back to ordinary experience.)
I'd also say that it is quite possible for an mentally unhealthy self to have a fine relationship with God. Sometimes the unhealthyness even contributes to the relationship. (A mystery there.) See Therese of Lisieux, who was far from a well-balanced person. I'd call her extremely neurotic --- at the end she was miserable and despairing because she was sure that she was damned! But her love of God and other people was most extraordinary. And consider some of those medieval saints -- see Bernard of Clairvaux -- who obviously had psychiatric difficulties. There's also Simone Weil who loved God and the poor so much she starved herself to death. Young Merton's guardian, bythe way, was the doctor who diagnosed her illness as anorexia and signed her death certificate. (Small world?) Then there was Saul. Now there's a mystery:-( Closer to today, think of Nijinsky who was stark raving mad but who loved the poor and God anyway. (Oops == he mostly wasn't raving mad -- he was catatonic and rarely spoke from the age of 29 till his death 30 years later. But before that he was pitifully schizophrenic.) But in spite of all their terrible judgments about themselves and their crazy behaviors, these were holy people!

This question already has an answer here:
- I am under DDoS. What can I do? 3 answers
first of all, I understand that it's better to have DDoS protections on data center level. But our DC is not ready to provide good quality of protection. So we thinking about using some external DDoS protections service.
I have googled several, like (sorry can not post many links):
- http ://blockdos.net/
- http ://www.armoraid.com/
- http ://www.blacklotus.net/
- http ://ddosprotection.com/
- http ://www.level3.com/index.cfm?pageID=555
The general idea, is that you are changing DNS to point on DDoS protection service. They filter traffic for you, and then redirect it to your backend. So, it adds some small time overhead, but let you site be alive even under DDoS.
But it's really easy to write something on site. My question is: do anybody have experience with such service? Is it really helping against DDoS?

RAYLAND - Harrison Central's Fletcher Watt drove the lane with four seconds remaining to score the game-winner as the Huskies pulled out a 38-36 win over host Buckeye Local Tuesday night.
Coach Justin Clifford's 8-2 Huskies successfully rebounded from a loss to St. Clairsville on Friday. Clifford's crew is in back in action on Friday, playing host to Edison.
Coach Jay Morris' 4-6 Panthers' visit Bellaire on Friday and travel to Weir on Saturday.
"For whatever reason, we haven't shot well all season except for a couple of games," said Clifford. "You have to give them credit, they kept changing defenses on us, but if you hold a team to 36 points, you give yourself a shot.
"Fletcher is a four-year player and he is the guy the other players look to to come through with the big play. They did a good job on him in the first half. I don't know how he got the shot to go in, but Fletch has a way of making bad shots look like bad shots."
Buckeye jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the first period, outscoring the Huskies by 10-1 after being deadlocked at 2-2. Brennen Czuchran led the Panthers in the opening session with seven points and three boards while John Rozenek tossed in four.
In the second frame, scoring slowed as the Panthers managed to hold on to a 20-9 lead at the intermission. The hosts led by 20-5 before Watt and Nick Pelegreen scored back-to back in the final minute. Harrison rallied to close the gap to 29-21 in the third. Pelegreen converted three shots from the floor to lead the Huskies.
In the fourth frame, Rasheen Mitchell converted to at the line then meshed a trey to cut the gap to 29-26 at the 6:10 mark. Buckeye bounced back as Kyle Michalo added one at the stripe and Czuchran cashed a layup. Watt netted two at the line and a three-pointer around a John Rozenek score at the line as the hosts led 33-31.
With an assist from Caleb Agnew, Michalo drained a three, but seconds later Austin Kowalski converted underneath to close the gap to 36-33. With 45 second left, Cody Evans took his first and only shot of the game and drained a three-pointer from the right corner to knot the score. A Buckeye turnover set up Harrison's last attempt. Watt drove the left side of the lane, bouncing off defender to lay in his game-winner. After a timeout, Buckeye's hopes for a buzzer-beater glanced just off the rim as the horn sounded.
"Good defense makes a great offense," the talented Watt said after the game while looking back on the Huskies' ability to overcome their scoring struggles He added that his game-winner wasn't a set play, but one that gave him the opportunity and he took it. "We just put a lot of pressure on defense and the offense goes from there."
Watt and Mitchell paced the Huskies with 11 points each while Pelegreen added nine. Mitchell finished with nine rebounds and seven blocked shots while Pelegreen collared eight strays.
Czuchran led all scorers with 13 markers while Michalo added 10. Rozenek led the Pante with nine rebounds.
"My kids battled hard throughout the entire game," a dejected coach Morris said after t tough loss. "It all came down to them (Harrison) taking their first lead on their final shot."
"You could just tell by the way the game was going that the game was going to come down to the last possession," Morris added. "But what really hurt us was our foul shooting in the second half. When you hold a team 38 points, you give yourself a good chance to win."

Is there laundry that is permissible to wash during the 9 days? Kids' clothes, undergarments, socks, etc.? I've heard yes, but I'm looking for a source. (This blog post cites the RaM"A but doesn't fully explain it.)

Per Rabbi Eli Mansour's halakhic online responsa:
See below for links to more of Rabbi Mansour's halakhic opinions on this topic.
A secondary source would be the English Sefer "Summary of Halachos of the Three Weeks" by Rabbi Shimon Eider zt"l, chapter III D on page 9.
You can see it here with all the sources: http://books.google.co.il/books?id=k2lV5wQwwj0C&lpg=PP1&hl=iw&pg=PA9#v=onepage&q&f=false
Here is a copy of the relevant chapters - without the sources (which are in Hebrew and time consuming to type).
Unfortunately, I once had to ask a shiala because my daughter had been discovered to have lice on the afternoon before Tisha b'Av, and the protocol is to launder all the clothes that might have come into contact and have lice or lice eggs on them. My own rabbi was out of town, so I called Rabbi Barry Fruendel of Kesher Israel Congregation in Washington, D.C. He said that not only could I launder all of the clothes in our house on Tisha b'Av, I had to do the laundry because it was a health issue. We did 17 loads (my wife deemed everything in the closets at risk). Thankfully, her camps thereafter did lice checks well before the 9 days, and she never got lice again.

6 Insane Fan Theories That Actually Make Great Movies Better
Cinephiles love reading way too much into a films, and 99 percent of the stuff they come up with is bullshit ("what if Haley Joel Osment was also a ghost?") but other times, they turn out to be right (yes, Harrison Ford really was a replicant in Blade Runner).
Well here are some oddball, yet strangely plausible, alternate fan theories that in many cases actually improve the movie quite a bit.
We found this old gem about movie fan theories while we were digging around for things to write off on our tax report, and not only did it make us laugh, it reminded us of our upcoming web series: Adventures in Jedi School -- a show that builds on and plays with the rules of the Star Wars universe. A show that finally dares to ask the question: "What about the dumb people in the Star Wars universe?"
Be sure to watch its debut tomorrow and, in the meantime, hold yourself over with this Cracked Classic and its sequel, both of which feature Star Wars and, if you don't mind us saying, have aged as gracefully as a fine wine, a good whiskey, or certain types of delivery pizza (trust us).
#6. "James Bond" Is Not a Man, But a Code Name
When the 007 franchise launched in 1962, Sean Connery was 32 when he received his license to kill. That was almost 50-years ago, and James Bond has aged like a fine Beaujolais spiked with antifreeze. How is the same 30-something special agent who fought the Cold War-era Russians now taking on post-9/11 terrorism?
The Theory:
There has been a theory among fans that there is no one single James Bond, but that "James Bond" is a codename passed on from one agent to the next as each retires (just as the titles of M and Q pinball from agent to agent). The theory explains the agelessness of Bond--note that Daniel Craig's Bond became 11 years younger whereas Judi Dench's M aged by four years.
This also explains how James Bond's personality changes dramatically from actor to actor. For example, in one film you have Timothy Dalton's Bond burning a man alive (around the 9:00 mark). Pop in another DVD and you see Roger Moore's Bond is doddering around in a clown costume.
The more you look into it, the more it makes sense. George Lazenby's Bond had his wife murdered in the last film he appeared in, so fans could assume that his 007 retired out of grief. Timothy Dalton's Bond went rogue and was kicked out of MI6. Pierce Brosnan's final outing ended with Bond being abandoned by British intelligence. Next movie, there's a new Bond in the tuxedo and the old one is presumably on a beach somewhere collecting a government pension.
Hell, even the guy who directed Die Another Day believed this theory. Wait, that was the Bond movie with the invisible car, right? Fuck that guy.
Why Does it Make the Film Better?
We like the realism that this theory gives the Bond franchise, particularly since 007 movies have the propensity to fly off the rails every few years (see: Moonraker, Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist, that invisible fucking car).
On the downside, it throws a real monkey wrench in Cracked's patent pending "James Bond Immortality Diet," in which we advise you to hydrate solely with Gordon's and Lillet and to bed at least three secretaries daily.
"C'mon toots. I'm only doing you for my blood pressure."
#5. Zion Is Part Of The Matrix
Do you remember The Matrix: Revolutions? No? It was, like, the final film in the trilogy? Still no? Hey, we haven't watched it since 2003 either. Wait, you don't even remember it coming out? Dear reader, we think you might have a case of PTSD: Post-Trilogy Stress Disorder. Don't worry; you're not alone in your suffering--it affects Star Wars fans too.
Would it reaffirm your faith in the Wachowski brothers, dear Matrix fan, if we told you the mindfuck from the first movie was just one mindfuck inside one huge matryoshka doll of mindfucks?
Like this.
The Theory:
In Revolutions, Neo's powers from the Matrix have seemingly transferred into the material world. For instance, he can "see" (despite having charbroiled his eyeballs) and also manifests the power to blow up machines with his mind. This has been a pet peeve with fans who note that this makes absolutely zero sense in the context of the Matrix universe.
But one theory posits that Neo's sudden, convenient-to-the-plot superpowers were possible since he never left the Matrix at all.
These fans figure "Zion" and the whole world Morpheus and the other "free" humans lived in was a separate Matrix unto itself, a second layer of the computer program to let some people think they had escaped. Thus it makes perfect sense that Neo would have magical powers in what he thought was the "physical" world.
Why does it make the film better?
The theory keeps the sci-fi film sci-fi and not heavy-handed messianic fantasy. Neo's new powers are never explained in Revolutions (hand-waved away by The Oracle in one sentence) and therefore seem like a cheap cop-out tacked on simply to end the damn movie. This explanation also prevents the now-tarnished Wachowskis from looking like a bunch of lazy jack-offs who are still cruising on the first Matrix film.
"From the team who brought you Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin!"
The theory gives a somewhat credible explanation instead of a deus ex machina plot device. Interestingly enough, deus ex machina literally means "god from the machine." Double whoa, brah.
#4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off Was All in Cameron's Head
This beloved 1986 John Hughes teen comedy tells the story of three good friends playing hooky; the affable and impossibly popular Ferris Bueller, the chronically depressed Cameron and Ferris's girlfriend, the stone-cold Sloane. Together, they embark upon the most exciting non-sex-and-booze-and-pot filled day a bunch of attractive American teens could ever wish for.
The Theory:
Cameron creates Ferris in his mind. Ferris is the total opposite of Cameron: he's fun, spontaneous and has a loving family and foxy girlfriend. At the beginning of the film, the imaginary Ferris convinces a bed-ridden Cameron to "borrow" his dad's Ferrari 250 GT California and cruise all over Chicago. Given Cameron's crushing social incompetence, it's likely that Sloane is fictional too and represents a girl that he has a crush on.
This theory explains the more fantastic elements of the film. For example, the whole city of Chicago rallies around the "sick" Ferris. This represents Cameron's miserable home life and how he yearns for friends and family who give a shit. Or, perhaps Bueller is a guy Cameron knows but isn't friends with, and his fantasy is based on what he imagines life to be like for the "popular" kids at school--everything is easy and the world revolves around them.
Or maybe it's a secret metaphor for how Cameron wants to grow up to be Inspector Gadget.
"Gotta get home before my parents do!"
When Cameron accidentally trashes his father's Ferrari at the film's climax, he realizes that he needs to stick up to his father and take responsibility for his own life. At this point he "disposes" of Ferris and Sloane. Both of his fictional friends receive happy endings: Sloane is left pondering marrying Ferris, whereas Ferris safely returns home, where he can break the fourth wall for eternity.
Why does it make the film better?
It transforms Ferris Bueller into a Brat Pack version of Fight Club. Remember when Ferris keeps pestering Cameron to pick him up? Let's watch that scene again...
Holy shit. That kid is fucked up. He needs a friend. A friend who is everything he is not, a friend who can liberate him from all of his self-imposed limitations. Somewhere, there's probably a rejected script for a sequel where "Bueller" convinces Cameron to climb up a clock tower with a rifle.
