|Reviews for Intercepted Ascension
| Guest chapter 8 . 11/29/2014
Please finish this its a good series
| chris3lyncc chapter 1 . 7/11/2013
twilight eyes...are your eyes anything like Iolite's? I'm drowning in the sweet brilliance of your penned vision. No Twitter-sized blurb of a review can do justice to the roaring ovation I so dearly want to give you right now. You've written all this for us... and the least this captivated fan can now do is present you with her letter of capitulation. :)
From start to near-finish, twilight eyes, your pen has woven a spell I can't ever allow to dissipate. Just like how your OCs consume Seto's un-consumable mind...and how Serenity just couldn't erase Seto even when she thought that check was for her "services rendered"... - haha yes, I've just read through every work you've published on here. It feels like Christmas. I love how your characters - every single one - are so incredibly real and superbly developed. With my own heart on my sleeve by the time I reached the (temporary?) end of "Intercepted Ascension", I can't even begin to imagine how much you must cherish them as their lucky creator!
I understand you haven't updated in eons... yet if, by a stroke of luck you find yourself back here, reading this and all the past years' worth of encouragement, please know your absence is truly, sorely, devastatingly, Seto/Io-apart-from-each-other missed. And I'm not one for hyperbole. I could honestly expound endlessly on how your humorous wit shatters my funny bone every time. How your complex plots have cleverly captured me hook line and sinker. How many mornings I've woken up tired but mentally revitalized from the prior night's reading (guess whose?). I know I sound positively intoxicated by your writings, but I suppose that's not far from the truth. :)
If you ever have any doubts, twilight, just know that I and many devoted readers are here for you, faithfully awaiting your "Renewed Ascension" to your throne as the creator of some damn good food for the Seto-starved, "gutsy female protagonist"-applauding soul. My eyes devour and succumb to your writings as thirstily as a certain glacier beholding his flame. I won't allow you to disappear from my sight. !. (...aand now I sound like Kaiba.) Yu-Gi-Oh may not be yours, or any of ours for that matter lol, but you, my dear, have a gift for transforming our darling blue-eyed dragon and the Scooby gang into immortals. I've read many Seto fics, and few can hold a candle to your imagination, characters, and genius. So please, for heaven's sake please, continue to share your gift. 3
Yeah, I'm in college, which means I'm busy as a Kaiba (well, almost). But it also means I understand how the demands of independent life often step in to intercept our dashes to the creative outlets that bring us most joy. Take your time writing, but please, make sure you write and never stop. I think you come alive when you do, and as an invigorated reader, you bring me to life too. No pressure, but...this is all loving pressure. :) For you, I'm making time to check back every month - and it's already in my calendar. Nope, I'm not giving up on you, ever! I believe too much in the dreams you've invited us into.
Loyally Yours, C.
| ace-witch chapter 20 . 9/1/2011
I love it ! Iolite's personality is an perfect match for Kai as.I love all the drama and suspense. Please continue
| Raye chapter 20 . 10/3/2010
It's wonderful. Can't wait to read what happens next!
| Sherry chapter 1 . 12/6/2009
Please update. You haven't updated in like 3 years
| ShadeKitty chapter 20 . 11/27/2009
I have read all of this story and I must gush. One of the most well written I've seen in a while. Props. Please tell me this is not the end. I love reading about Iolite and Kaiba. )
| FanFictionGirl100 chapter 20 . 10/3/2009
Been reading your Seto Kaiba stories and i love them and i wish that you will write more asap please.
| Guest chapter 1 . 9/6/2009
T.T I agree with Sherry. Even though it's been 3-4 years, I wish you'd update!
Love this story!
It's one of those rare ones that keep Seto in character.
Pleze update!
| Sherry chapter 20 . 2/27/2009
I know that you haven't updated in two to three years but can you update this story
| Sherry chapter 20 . 11/25/2008
Please update this story
| SETO-KAIBA-LIFE chapter 20 . 10/7/2008
PLEASE update it, i love that story so much and can't wait to know what will happen next :)
| RyaneNight92 chapter 20 . 8/25/2008
all I can say is that this story is WONDERFULL! it's great!
I read the story before this one and that story was wonderful as well, tension, mysteries and it's very catching. Sometimes i don't even notice when i was going onto the next chapter because they all fit so well.
i admit, at first i was feeling kinda shaky at reading the sequel because most of the sequels i've read before are not as good as the orginal. However, this sequel is as great as the orginal!
It still has the suspence, the mysteries, and the way that you portray Seto is great! I can actually imagine his kindness the way that you write it, it feels(in my head) very real.
Great job and keep it up!
update soon
| SinDRegrets911 chapter 20 . 7/30/2008
I can't wait to see where this is going!
| Angel Assassin XIII chapter 20 . 5/13/2008
This is an absolutely great story.
You have to continue as soon as possible or i might die from the suspense. Sorry but i didnt have enough time to review the others, my bad!
| fanofthisfiction chapter 20 . 3/31/2008
This is one of my favorite stories. I hope you continue with this one. Seto and Iolite certainly make an interesting couple and she's one character who can hold her own when it comes to him. I love how she can get revenge on him and he can still pull things off without letting others know it bothers him so much. She is so dedicated to him and he to her that you always hope all comes through. On the outside, they live a fairytale life that is far from anything "normal" or dreamy. The side characters are also very interesting and you really start hoping that Raine and Margurite will somehow be swooped up in a turn of events that will bring everyone to justice and happiness along with the Seto and Iolite. Maybe they (Seto and Iolite) will finally get that honeymoon and have a daughter of their own eventually. Nah, that would be all too easy. I love the cliffhangers but hope you will complete this one. Thanks again for the entertainment.

Indian lesbian couple win police protection after death threats

Wow. I am truly amazed by the bravery and courage of some people in our community. It takes so much deep internal work on one's beliefs and spirit to find the place within where you go against and challenge the demands on us to conform to a family's ideal. These women are heroes!
You go girls!
Well said Ray.
Fantastic news for this couple and hopefully more couples can recieve the same level of support in India. There is hope! I wish the couple well
Since the High Court decriminalised gay sex India is demonstrating that it has the potential to be the great hope of the future for democracy and human rights.
Indian judge made stupid decision. Perhaps he another homosexual pervert….
You, being a Muslim Pakistani, wouldn't be fairer to Hindus than you are to gays, so who cares what you troll about.
Well he was Nigerian the other day lol (he does get about a bit – for a man who sits on his arse all day typing drivel….lol)
A nice little earner for a QC to fly in and appeal.
good for you Girls i wish you all the happiness, heads up and walk tall
all the best to you Savita & Veena
It's such a shame that things have to come to this but glad the women can get the protection they need.
Though, just because of petty minded people that should be close and supportive they will never be able to live free and full.
I do wish then the best though and hope they can have a good safer life together.
In the west we often forget that so many people in the world fight on, virtually alone.
It astonishes me that a family would want to kill their own children… and they have the gall to call US unnatural when it is they who behave worst than animals!
Shame to them, well done Veena and Savita! Bole' Ki Jay!
Indeed, excellent point, ToniM!!
Its easy to forget that this is what the Gay Liberation struggle is all about.
Making sure everyone has the right to choose who they wish to be and how they wish to live their life.
Gradually the World is coming to terms with this notion – in part hampered by its colonial and subservient past: the notion that some people are more important than others.
It is inevitable that this will fade.
I look forward to a day when the whole of humanity can stand up and count each and every one of us as equal.

Hello Friends!
I've been pretty quiet as of late. I've actually spent the last 5 weeks in Durham, NC being slow, mindful, & kind to myself. It's been some of the best weeks of my life. But now it's time to get back into the real world. Although, my real world consists of writing songs, singing for you lovely friends, and shaking tambourines - not much to complain about there! I've got lots of exciting things coming up this year like a new record, festivals, & tours but to get things started I'm headed back home to Charlotte to play The Neighborhood Theater next Saturday Night.
The event will be raising money for a great cause and you'll also get to hear some great music from David Britt, Jason Scavone, and Me...plus more! You can read more about what we are raising money for as well as purchase tickets...HERE!
I really hope to see you there...and bring your friends!
And lastly, here are some photos from my quiet time in Durham...

Rabbi Mendy Rosenberg, a Viznitzer chassid, stands outside his Williamsburg tire shop in rain, sun, sleet and snow, repairing flat tires and replacing old worn ones. Located in an area that was once an industrial area, the shop seems to be out of place on an island sandwiched between towering new building complexes, part of Williamsburg's building boom to accommodate the ever growing Chassidic population.

As the freight train rumbles down the tracks running along East Cary Street in the historic Shockoe Bottom district of Richmond, Virginia, it passes by a former tobacco warehouse. Parked conspicuously in front of the massive building stands a train car that once carried a different kind of freight. Step inside and you discover you're in a cattle car used to transport Jews to the death camps that sprang up like poisonous mushrooms, throughout the European landscape. This is your entrée to the Virginia Holocaust Museum.

We have had this issue for quite some time and one of the problems seems to be that this is not an issue that everyone experiences, but only a few, meaning that when we believe the problem is solved, someone reports a problem after they have had to seek out another mean's to contact us.
We have contacted our host and they have put us on a larger server and claim that the issue is not from them.

I guess we could scrape by on $20k, preferably $30k. I guess it's not a horribly large amount. Rent is $450/mth for us. Healthcare is "free". We don't have kids. We're in Quebec, Canada. We've dreamed of moving, but this is where our families are so...
I say that you can probably make due with less than you imagine. I find the more we make, the more we end up spending.:
This is a great question...I wish I knew
We live in Southeastern VA and our gross income is $47,000 a year. After taxes insurance, 401K, etc we take home about $2800 a month. I would not call us "comfortable." We have a very small house in a "developing area" (not the ghetto but the ghetto is real close). Our car payment is $338 a month and we could not afford that. My dh gets profit sharing once a year and we pay the car from that. We do not have extra money to go out and buy clothes, go to on vacation, etc. But I no longer need to use a calculator to go to the grocery store. Does that make sense? We still must plan and budget for necessities but we are not so broke that I can't buy organic food, etc.
We live in CT. I should note that this is *not* normal for a family of four in CT. Cost of living is pretty high here. But we got extremely lucky in finding a house in a special program for first time homebuyers with children, so our mortgage is lower than most people's rent.
Median household income here is nearly $90K a year. The median cost of a 4Br/2Bath house is $450K now. You can expect to pay at least $1200 a month for rent on a one bedroom apartment in an okay area, in the suburbs or the city ($2K a month is more likely tho). In theory, you can can find studios and 1BRs for under $800, but that will require living waaaaaay outside of the city, or in really sketchy parts of the District.
I lived in this area comfortably as a single woman on $27K a year 6 years ago, mainly by having roommates to cut housing costs, but there's no way I could do that with a child to support. I'd be hardpressed to cover housing, food, utilities and day care on less than $50K, I'd say. I'd have no car on that income, which is entirely doable here since we have public transit.
Happily married to DH for 6 years, in process to foster-adopt 3 children DD4, DS3 and DS2. We may be bringing half brother age 9 one day as well! We are not infertile, we just have decided that since there are precious children who need homes there is no need for us to have biological children.

Never Wire Money – Scammers often require victims to use MoneyGram or Western Union to pay fees to receive phony sweepstakes winnings, participate in deceptive mystery shopper "jobs," buy merchandise online, and a multitude of other fraudulent offers. Money transfer services are not able to retrieve wired funds if you discover you've been scammed.
Throw Away Checks from Unfamiliar Companies – The use of counterfeit checks in sweepstakes and mystery shopper job offers increased dramatically during 2008. You are instructed to deposit the check, then wire all or most of the funds to the scammer. If you fall for this one, you'll be notified by your bank within several weeks that the check was counterfeit and you must return the funds to the bank.
Do not use Advanced Fee Lenders – If you are strapped for cash, don't be tempted by offers of easy money, regardless of your credit history. Deceptive advanced fee loan offers abound online that require you to send money for the promise of a loan. Advanced fee loans are illegal and should be avoided.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Down two offensive lineman, the Buffalo Bills shifted their front line in Thursday's organized team activities.
With guards Chris Williams and Doug Legursky out of the voluntary practice, the Bills moved left tackle Cordy Glenn inside to guard for team drills. Second-team left tackle Chris Hairston moved up to the first team.
The Bills experimented with Glenn as a guard during training camp last summer. However, he remains a fixture at left tackle and would only be used at guard in emergency situations.
Meanwhile, safety Aaron Williams saw his workload increased as he continues to come back from shoulder surgery. Williams took reps in 11-on-11 drills alongside Da'Norris Searcy at safety.
The Bills continued to tinker with their personnel at cornerback, replacing Mario Butler on the first team with Corey Graham. Nickell Robey, who lined up at nickel back on the first team beginning Wednesday, stayed in that role Thursday.
Overall, Thursday's practice was the sloppiest of the Bills' six OTAs thus far. There were a litany of miscues, especially on offense, that aren't out of the ordinary for this time of the year but will need to be cleaned up by training camp.
Outside of Chris Williams and Legursky, the following players were not spotted Thursday: defensive tackles Marcell Dareus and Alan Branch, defensive end Manny Lawson, and tight end Mike Caussin.
Wide receivers Marcus Easley and Cordell Roberson, running backs Bryce Brown and Ronnie Wingo, cornerback Darius Robinson, and guard J.J. Unga watched practice from the sideline as they continue to rehab from injuries.

Even before the Celtics went into a prolonged funk, Doc Rivers had his doubts about the way his team was playing.
"We like our record, but we're not building," the coach said then. "We're winning games, but we're not improving."
Then the Celtics started losing games and the questions began tumbling out about whether this team — the same one that blew away the competition in November and had people seriously suggesting it could win 70 games — was a legitimate contender. The answer lies somewhere in between those long-forgotten boasts and the C's current state, which is, to put it charitably, inconsistent.
Injuries have been the primary concern, as they should have been when blind optimism was running wild before Thanksgiving.
The members of the starting five have sat out 19 games between them, with Kevin Garnett's 11-game sabbatical leading that number. Glen Davis missed 28 games and Marquis Daniels has been out 23 and counting. Paul Pierce had knee surgery, Rasheed Wallace missed time with a foot injury and Tony Allen had an ankle injury.
No one knows for sure how long the Celtics will be able to stay in one piece, and any questions about their long-term standing have to be viewed through that prism. But beyond the injuries, the Celtics 'play the last few weeks has revealed cracks in the foundation that didn't seem so apparent before the new year dawned.
These are things that need to be addressed in the second half of the season, and Garnett's return alone can not solve all of them.
The first salvo in what will surely be an eventful trade-deadline season was fired when a report surfaced that the Golden State Warriors would like to take Allen off the Celtics' hands for a package including Monta Ellis.
As with so many rumors that will arise between now and the trade deadline, there is something to it, but not much. Of course Golden State would like to blow up its team and get rid of onerous deals in exchange for Allen's expiring contract, but if you're looking for the Celtics to make a big deal involving Allen, you're probably going to be left waiting.
We've been down this road many times with Allen before. He was left for dead after the first two rounds of the Eastern Conference playoffs in 2008, and then rebounded with an inspirational showing against the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
People wondered if he was done early last season, and he turned in one of the finest shooting seasons of his career. After torching the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs he struggled against the Magic and the questions returned.
It's understandable that people would be waiting for the other sneaker to drop in regards to Allen given his age, but he's been defying time for years, and it's way too early to give up on him now. Yes, his shooting percentages are not at their lofty heights of a season ago, but look closer and you'll see that Allen is turning in a remarkably similar campaign to his first one in a Celtics uniform, with one glaring exception: his 3-point shooting.
Allen is shooting below 35 percent on 3's for the first time in his career. The last time he even came close to the 35 percent mark was in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season, when everyone's numbers took a hit.
He remains completely, almost catatonically, confident in his ability to shoot. Witness his dreadful performance against Portland and his unhurried clutch 3-pointer in the final minute that turned the tide.
Somewhat remarkably, Allen and Kendrick Perkins are the only Celtics regulars who have played in every game this season, and at better than 36 minutes a night Allen is the team leader in minutes played.
If you're going to replace Allen you have to replace not only his shooting and his stamina, but also his ability to blend with his teammates and produce the best lineups the Celtics have to offer. It's a phenomenon that has been documented previously, but Allen is present in the most productive combinations available to Rivers.
Whether Allen remains a member of the Celtics beyond this season is very much an open question, but while you never say never in this league, it would be shocking if Allen was dealt before that time comes.
Probably. It's dangerous to underestimate Danny Ainge's ability to get creative, and in the last few seasons he has turned to some unlikely sources for help.
Ainge's best deadline move was coaxing P.J. Brown out of retirement, but he also was able to wait out the Clippers in getting Sam Cassell, the Knicks in acquiring Stephon Marbury and the Kings in obtaining Mikki Moore.
Compared to Brown's invaluable contributions, Cassell, Marbury and Moore were luxury items, but all four were acquired through untraditional means and at no cost to the Celtics other than money.
Ainge has assets to deal, namely the expiring contracts of Ray Allen, Brian Scalabrine, Tony Allen, Eddie House and J.R. Giddens. He also has a first-round pick if he's inclined to move it. More importantly, he has an open roster spot after waiving Lester Hudson.
Watch the waiver wire closely as the deadline approaches. Teams may be willing to pursue buyouts to save a few dollars, and that's where the Celtics may strike.
Ainge's interest in Allen Iverson and his reported pursuit of Nate Robinson may have tipped his hand in terms of a direction. The bench has several needs — ball-handling and rebounding among them, but it specifically needs another scorer who can create his own shot.
Like Ray Allen, Eddie House has struggled with his shooting this season. Those instant bursts of offense that are his trademark have been nowhere to be found. Another scorer would help take the pressure off the second unit, as well as Pierce and Ray Allen.
"I like our team," Rivers said. "I'm willing to go into the playoffs exactly the way we are right now."
That's exactly what you would expect the coach to say, and the early season results indicated that this team may be good enough without the benefit of a move, but history has shown otherwise.
Rivers likes to use a nine-man rotation, and if everyone is healthy, House, Daniels, Wallace and Glen Davis would seem to be the viable four reserves. But that unit has not played a single minute together all season thanks to the injuries to Davis and Daniels.
While Davis was out, Shelden Williams stepped in and provided strong rebounding numbers, but he has since been passed over not only by Davis, but also Brian Scalabrine and even Bill Walker.
"He's working hard right now," Rivers said. "He's just got guys in front of him. We knew that when we signed him."
For his part, Davis has not yet hit his stride. In limited minutes he has been the team's best and most active offensive rebounder, but his shooting has been sub-par and he did little to answer questions about his maturity with his ill-timed confrontation with a fan in Detroit.
In the absence of Daniels, Tony Allen has played an unlikely supporting role and it remains to be seen if he will continue to get time when Daniels returns around the All-Star break.
For all his shortcomings, and for all the angst he causes for Celtics fans, Tony Allen remains an intriguing enigma. He is stronger and more athletic than Daniels and he could, at least in theory, provide sporadic bursts of inspired man defense against hot perimeter players.
The key to all this remains Wallace, who has been a welcome addition to the locker room and an important figure in terms of depth. But Wallace's play has not lived up to his advanced billing, and the Celtics will need more from him in the second half of the season.
It better be.
The All-Star teams will be announced on Thursday, and if there's any justice in the world, Rondo will be a member of the Eastern Conference team. With that honor and a five-year extension in his pocket, Rondo will have checked two notable goals off his to-do list for the season.
Now all he has to do is lead the Celtics back to the championship.
Make no mistake, the Celtics still are Pierce's team and Garnett is the player around whom the entire thing revolves. But Rondo is on the cusp of grabbing the reins, and once he does, he won't let go.
"Pretty soon he's going to here, the face of the franchise when we're all gone and in our rocking chairs," Pierce said last week. "He's doing a great job. He's maturing this year. It's fun watching him grow and become a complete player."
There has been a complete change in the quotes and observations about Rondo from his teammates and coach this season. Gone are the admonishments, subtle and otherwise, about his play and his mental approach. They have been replaced by a tacit understanding that he has moved beyond the on-the-job training phase of his career and the acknowledgment that he is now a full-fledged member of the inner circle.
Rivers, who has been known to ride his point guard relentlessly, has in public been quick to back him up and lay blame elsewhere. The Celtics have come to the realization that they can't win in spite of him anymore and that they need him as much as he needed them.
The next step for Rondo is to be a brilliant playmaker all the time and not just most of the time.
Before the game with the Clippers, Rondo sat by himself watching video of Baron Davis, who had tormented him in their previous meeting in Los Angeles. Various coaches came by and gave him suggestions, but Rondo's mannerisms, as always, suggested that he had full confidence in his ability to handle the task at hand. And he did, keeping Davis out of the paint and forcing him into a 5-for-14 shooting night.
On the other end of the floor Rondo was at his best, racking up 12 assists and 16 timely points along with seven rebounds and four steals.
He has for some time been the best point guard in the Eastern Conference. Now he has to be that player every night.
Yes, and it's not necessarily a compliment. In terms of temperament, experience and even approach, the Celtics bear an uncanny resemblance to the Detroit Pistons, circa 2005-08.
Like those Pistons teams, the Celtics have a championship in their back pocket. Like those Pistons teams, the Celtics believe they have uncovered the secret to winning games with their defense. And like those Pistons teams, the Celtics sometimes believe they can summon those qualities at will.
It's a dangerous trap, and the Celtics have fallen victim to it several times already this season. Most recently in the second half against Detroit and even at home with losses to Atlanta and Dallas. Rivers said as much last week during his weekly call with Dennis & Callahan.
"I think at times it's not a chemistry problem, it's more a focus problem. I said that earlier in the year and I identified that two weeks into the season, it will never be X's and O's with this team. It will never be basketball IQ. It will be being bored with the process. That happens right now."
Garnett summed the whole thing up, as well, after practice last week.
"Our defense is built off of trust. It isn't necessarily an assignment, but it is a type of defense in which we hold each other accountable. Whatever the defense calls for, for one person to do his job, the natural reaction is for his teammate to be there to help him and then so on and so on."
That's not something you can just decide to do one night and leave behind the next. The lulls will happen, whether they are because of injuries, the schedule or just the winter doldrums. But the Celtics always have been able to snap out of them before they became full-blown issues by focusing on their defense and taking care of all the little things.
This team has not shown the ability to do that yet, and if it can't, it won't be a banner spring in Boston.

Tim Tebow's Stupid Move to The New York Jets
Those of you who follow me in this space are probably wondering why I didn't write something on this earlier today. And the reason is this: I was dumbfounded. I kept thinking that there had to be something about the New York Jets' acquisition of Tim Tebow that I was missing -- that the entire mainstream press was missing.
Now I know I wasn't missing anything at all. The move is exactly as stupid as it appears to be.
And, by the way, everything I wrote over the last couple weeks about the Jets finally showing a strain of maturity and sense in not going harder after Peyton Manning was wrong.
Let's start with what should be the obvious: Tim Tebow is not -- let's emphasize not -- a backup quarterback, someone to "push" Mark Sanchez to greater heights. Tim Tebow wants to be a starting quarterback and will be bitterly unhappy in any other role. And after rescuing the Denver Broncos and taking them to the second round of the playoffs last season, he deserves to be a starter.

There is no chance that mark Sanchez will be happy as a backup, and if he fails in the starting role, he will be booed out of town by the fans and press. Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, a smarmy, mealy-mouthed hypocrite, gave a press conference just before Jon Stewart last night and said "both [Sanchez and Tebow ] are very clear on what their roles will be."
Really? Then do tell us so we'll know, and make sure you told them so they'll know.
Tannenbaum also said that Tebow would be valuable in "other roles and packages." Does that mean you are going to bring him in when the Jets are on the five-yard line and let him run the ball into the end zone? Does it mean you are going to use him to carry Gatorade or a clipboard?
Before this media bashing of Sanchez gets out of hand, let's remember a couple of things. First, erratic as he was last year, he was a better passer than Tebow with 56.7 percent completion to Tebow's 46.5 perfcent and an NFL passer rating of 78.2 to Tebow's 72.9.
Mark Sanchez was good enough in the previous two seasons to have the Jets just one game away from the Super bowl. When the defense the running game and the offensive went south last year, the one how took the brunt of the blame for the team flop was Sanchez. Let's also not forget that one game -- that Christmas Eve game with the Giants -- separated the two teams during the season.
Does anyone seriously think that with the Jets mediocre defense and horrible pass blocking that Tebow would have been more successful? Tebow can run, but he can't block.
I have a horrible suspicion that when Tannenbaum says Tebow will be useful in other roles and packages, what he means is that Tebowmania, if they can get it cranked in a New York market that is cynical but desperate for a Jets football hero, will be a ploy for selling millions of dollars worth of jerseys and T-shirts, the same kind of windfall the franchise raked in when they signed Brett Favre four years ago.
In Tebow's case, the profit margin will be even greater because his salary for this season is just a fraction of what they paid Favre.
I make so many jabs at Mike Lupica in this space that I have to acknowledge that he got it absolutely right in this morning's column:
"Whatever the Jets say they're doing, or think they are doing, they have creatd their very own quarterback controversy. That's unless they think that their fans won't be chanting Tebow's name the first time Sanchez throws a couple to the wrong team.
"People already think of the Jets as a circus because of the way their coach talks and acts and the way some of their players talk and act and some of the other players they have brought in and the way their season ended. Now they bring a brand new circus to town."
I'm not going to say I couldn't have said it better myself, because I could have, but Lupica's evaluation will do. All I can say is thank you to the New York Jets for supplying us writers with so much grist for the autumn mill.

Linus Speaks at SVLUG Meeting
When we gave the job of arranging speakers to Sam Ockman, we never doubted his ability to bring in terrific speakers. His first speaker, for our January meeting, was his personal hero, H. Peter Anvin. For February, we had two speakers: Eric Raymond of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" fame, and Bruce Perens of Debian. Therefore, the question became "How do you top these Linux luminaries?" Sam's answer was our March speaker, Linus Torvalds.
Until December, the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (of which I am the Vice President) met in the back dining room of the local Carl's Jr. (local burger chain). Carl's could hold around 40-50 people tightly. We had been talking about moving the meeting from this spot for some time, and some of our members who worked at Cisco pleaded to get a room for us for the meeting in February. As expected, this meeting was standing room only, and we knew that with Linus coming we needed a much larger space. Again, Cisco (with Ben Woodard pushing it through) came through for us with a room spacious enough for 350 people in their Gateway Conference center.
About half an hour before the meeting began, the chairs were full and people began to sit on the floor, against the walls and all around the room. Approximately 500 people had come to hear Linus speak. We were lucky—the air conditioning was in good shape, and the fire marshal didn't show up.
The meeting began and after the user-group formalities were complete, Linus was presented with the VA Research Excellence in Open Source Software Award, co-sponsored by Red Hat and O'Reilly. The prize was a loaded dual Pentium 333 from VA Research. In fact, Linus made out very well, receiving not only the computer just mentioned, but also a PalmPilot professional from Klaus Schulz of 3Com and a six-pack of real beer from local legend Rick Moen. It should be noted that Linus didn't know about any of these awards before coming to the meeting.
Accompanied by thunderous applause, Linus stood before the podium and expressed his shock at the number of people who had shown up to hear him speak. He had been under the impression that it would be a small, intimate meeting like the first one he attended last year at the burger joint.
He began his speech by telling the group what he wouldn't be talking about. He said he wouldn't be talking about user issues or MIS issues—all he would talk about was what he was doing with the kernel.
The hour-long speech (not counting the Q&A afterward) was a technical discussion of how he is improving SMP (symmetric multi-processing) support in the kernel. He talked about the challenges of moving from a single kernel resource lock for all CPUs as in the 2.0.x kernels to individual resource locks for the new kernels. He discussed the ways these changes affect things internally for the kernel, and how it affects the handling of shared memory, interrupts and I/O. Linus also spent some time talking about how the file system is being changed internally for better performance. The speech will be available on-line by the time this article goes to print (see Resources); I'd recommend that you download it and listen to the whole thing.
In addition to videotaping the speech and taking still photos, the meeting in its entirety was broadcast over the MBone (Internet protocol multicast backbone). After Linus had finished speaking, the door prizes were given out, and everyone left the meeting happier and smarter than they were the day before. Special thanks are due to Linus Torvalds for speaking and to everyone else involved in making this meeting a success.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

New York's Private Schools Need More Money
First-world complaints: Schools don't have enough money, and parents don't want to pay more.
Private school in New York isn't all Zen Dance interludes and sushi lunches. Those things cost money, and the Times says the city's private schools are ramping up their fund-raising efforts after most schools have reached the $40,000 tuition breaking point.
Schools' development offices spend their days researching parents' "homes, luxury cars, private planes, stock holdings and donations to other charities" to figure out which might be most willing and able to fork over more cash.
Daniel Boyer, a senior consultant at Marts & Lundy, a consulting firm with a substantial private school practice, explains how the data mining works. If a parent sits on the board of one of the city's museums, for example, "Let the person tell you about their interest in the arts and what they like to support and whether they would like to support a high school student who has an interest in art."
In New York, the median amount of annual giving shot up 268 percent in the last decade, from $462,341 to $1.7 million.
But not all parents are handing over their money so exuberantly. Rachael Combe, an editor at Elle, enrolled her son in a $21,000-a-year Upper East Side preschool and received an invitation from the head of the school to come in for a chat shortly after. The headmaster asked if Combe and her husband would be willing to give $25,000 or $50,000 for a new capital campaign.
"It just made clear everything that was making me uncomfortable about New York City private schools," she said. Not long after, they sold their apartment and moved to Larchmont, Westchester, where money doesn't even exist.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
- Studio: Columbia Pictures
- Release Date: Aug 12, 2005
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
In the worst scenes in Deuce Bigalow: European Bigalow, it's as if Schneider and Co. are straining to invent new taboos just so they can break them, a strategy that provokes more confused silence than laughter.
Rude, crude and, uh, cosmopolitan, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo waves the flag for R-rated politically incorrect studio comedy but doesn't top the laugh ratio of the first Deuce misadventure.
There is an essential meanness to the entire project, tapping the manipulative power of taunts. Such jokes don't jibe with the times, the culture.
What's perhaps most surprising about European Gigolo is its reactionary streak, exemplified by knee-jerk attacks on Europe's equally knee-jerk anti-Americanism. Then again, that seems fitting. The sequel functions as the ultimate Ugly American, good for a few cheap, vulgar laughs and nothing else.
The director is first-timer Mike Bigelow. Nothing's paced or shaped for maximum payoff; the shooting and editing rhythms add only clutter and noise, and the slapstick is strictly of the skull-banging, ear-splitting variety.
At times, "European Gigolo" feels more like an international incident than a movie.
Not to chastise the movie for simply being rude or crude -- since "The Wedding Crashers" proved that hormone-raging '80s throwbacks can still be harmless fun -- but this contemptible sex-com redux should be taken to task for how its infantilized yucks give license to entertaining closed-minded acceptances of very real human ugliness.
This bare-bones plot is merely an excuse to string together a series of gross-out jokes involving bodily fluids, private parts, food and genetic deformities.
If all the first "Deuce" had going for it was a regular-guy approach to over-the-top humor, that's completely absent in this follow-up.
Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.
Not that there are any actual jokes to be had. The film simply jumps to the punch lines, a non-stop barrage of crude dialogue and vulgar sight gags that passes as humor among adolescent boys. Who exactly is the audience for this R-rated film? The terminally immature?
The way I see it, anyone who's made up his mind to see Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo deserves everything they've got coming to them, and with any luck, they might even enjoy the movie's willfully offensive gutter humor.
Not content to merely be lowbrow and stupid – there's room in the world for lowbrow and stupid mass entertainment – the film is pushy and might actually cause chafing.

I wasn't expecting some sort of witty masterpiece, but this movie doesn't even provide stupid laughs. Most of the time it's just completely flat.

Bigalow part 2 is packed with stereotypes, sex jokes and everything that resides at the bottom of the immaturity scale. Did we need a sequel? Nope.

You won't care about the characters on display and the script uses too many dirty jokes to get by. A few scenes are cringeworthy and a few border on hilarious. A mixed bag when it comes to the audience recommended for the teenagers but everyone else may want to avoid European Gigolow.… Full Review »

Launch of 2013 Benjamin Franklin House Literary Prize in association with The Telegraph
"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of" – Benjamin Franklin,
London, 15 January 2013 – Each year a question or quote exploring Benjamin Franklin's relevance in
our time is open for interpretation in 1000-1500 words. The competition is open exclusively for young
writers, aged 18-25, with a first prize of £750, and a second prize of £500. Winning entries will be posted
online by media partner The Telegraph and at www.BenjaminFranklinHouse.org.

is the stuff life is made of." Entrants should interpret this quote for its significance today. All entries must
be received before 31 October 2013.
Franklin is one of history's great figures. While he made lasting contributions in many fields, his first
passion was writing. He believed in the power of the written word as the bedrock of a democratic society
to inform and stimulate debate.
For nearly sixteen years between 1757 and 1775, Franklin lived at 36 Craven Street in the heart of
London, England. He is one of history's great polymaths – a diplomat, patriot, scientist, inventor,
philosopher and more. He was one of the first American journalists, writing prolifically not only on politics
and foreign affairs, but on science, the arts and society. In 2006, Benjamin Franklin House, the world's
only remaining Franklin home, opened to the public for the first time as a dynamic museum and
educational facility. For more information see www.BenjaminFranklinHouse.org.
The Benjamin Franklin House Literary Prize is endowed by Benjamin Franklin House Chairman John
Studzinski, a leading executive and philanthropist.

Microsoft: Critical Windows and Internet Explorer patches incoming
August Patch Tuesday to feature nine updates
Microsoft will release two critical fixes for vulnerabilities in its Windows and Internet Explorer (IE) services for its August Patch Tuesday.
The August Patch Tuesday update is due to arrive on 12 August and will feature at least nine security fixes. The IE and Windows patches are the only two to hold a "critical" rating from Microsoft and leave users open to remote code-execution attacks.
Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, said the IE flaw is the more serious of the two as it affects all versions of the web browser, while the Windows bug is limited to a more specific set of users.
"The most critical patch is bulletin one, which affects all versions of IE. Since browsers are the attackers' favorite targets, this patch should be top of your list. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability through a malicious webpage," he explained.
"Bulletin two is a critical update for Windows and affects Windows 7 and Windows 8, plus the Media Center TV Pack for Vista. I believe it must be addressing bugs in the graphics-processing pipeline, most likely in an online video component."
The remaining seven vulnerabilities related to Microsoft's Office, SQL server, Windows, Server and .Net framework services. Each holds an "important" rating from Microsoft and leaves users open to a mix of remote code-execution, elevation of privilege and security-bypass exploits.
Tripwire manager of security research Tyler Reguly, highlighted the security-bypass flaws as being particularly troubling and praised Microsoft for its rapid response.
"We've seen more and more updates classified as 'security feature bypass' over the past 12 months and it's great to see Microsoft fixing these issues. Many of these patches resolve known ASLR [Address Space Layout Randomisation] and DEP [Data Execution Prevention] bypasses, that exploit authors use to successfully exploit other vulnerabilities," he said.
IE has been a constant source of new vulnerabilities in recent months. Microsoft issued a separate fix for a critical vulnerability in IE in its July Patch Tuesday. Prior to that the company was forced to issue 59 IE fixes as part of its June Patch Tuesday update.
