Author has written 7 stories for Death Note, and Kingdom Hearts.
2011 UPDATE: This is getting ridiculous. I'm not even really going to bother anymore.
2009 UPDATE: Well gosh, I haven't updated in a while. I think I said I was recently fourteen last time, yes? Well, I've been comfortably 15 years old for a long time now. Oh my. And I have a pet frog now! I kidnapped him with a McDonald's cup from Crystal Falls in Michigan. Where I don't live, by the way. My Grandparents cabin is up there, and it takes a hell of along time to get there. I thought he was gonna die on the way home! But he didn't. His name is Caspian! :D
UPDATE NUMBER TWO: Caspian died the day after Christmas, and the ground was too frozen to bury him. I miss him. He was awesome.
2008: Right, well this is Whisper Otonashi. I guess that's really all there is to it. I recently turned fourteen, and my middle name is Elizabeth. However, because I am slightly paranoid, that's all your getting out of me about my identity. So if you want to call me Elizabeth or something, I guess that's fine.
I am the eldest of four kids, and I live in a pretty small house where we have to share the laptops, so hopefully that will explain the lack of stories. Also, if I ever start writing a story, (stupid writers block!! D: ) hopefully that will also explain the fact that I don't update often.
Or you could just call me lazy. Either works.
My computer does not like the format on FF.net, or FF.net does not like the format of my computer. And also, any changes I make via FF.net NEVER, EVER, SAVE! AND THAT MESSES IT UP EVEN MORE!! So whenever I submit something, the careful style I had it in is immediately shot to hell. That is the reason my works aren't organized very well.
My favorite animes are:
Death Note
Dennou Coil
Red Garden
Tsubasa; Reservoir Chronicle
and Tekkon Kinkreet.
However, I own none of these. If I did, do you really think I'd be sitting here, typing all of this up? Heck no! I'd be off somewhere buying new books. (with the masses of wealth I would have).
And now, I will enlighten you with a few of my favorite quotes. When I remember them, I'll add more, but for now:
One may smile, and smile, and be a villain. ~ (I think it's Shakespeare. Not sure though.)
An artist must convince others of the truth of their lies. ~ (Again, I forgot who wrote it.)
I completely oppose violence! Anyone who supports it should be shot!
Procrastinators Unite! ...Tomorrow. (This is my personal motto! XD )
Organized people are too lazy to look for things. (This one too! XP )
My mind is like lightening; one brilliant flash and it's gone.
Cross Country- pass the weak, hurdle the dead.
Johnny was a chemist's son, but Johnny is no more.
2009 UPDATE QUOTES: Hoo boy, I've got some great stuff from my teachers this year. I'll write some down:
"Way to play into the stereotype. Telling them there's good literature in Playboy."
There is!"
I know."
~Mr. Bell and Mr. Lessing. We call it the "Blessing" class.
Sensei will love you even if you aren't perfect.
But Sensei will love you more if you are.
~(My Japanese sensei is such a character. She's great!)
"Yeah, when I was young my father would always tell me, "I love your mother more than you." He was very clear that my mother was more important."
~Mr. Lessing
"And we will be sitting in front of your computers, typing your essays, fisting our names. And we're okay with that. We know it's frustrating. We assigned it, after all."
~Mr. Bell and Mr. Lessing
"You know, one year I came into my classroom and there was a little lego man on my desk. And I was like, "What the heck is that?"
So I did nothing and it stayed there for a few days. Eventually a senior (or it might have been a sophmore. Maybe a senior?) came up to me and asked, "Did you get our present?" "What present?" "The lego man! That's lego Mr. Bell!" "...What?" "While we were writing our papers, we built a lego Mr. Bell so we could swear at you.""
~Mr. Bell was explaining just how frustrated we would get while writing our papers. :D
"My first impression of Bellboy was his shirt was kinda starchy. He seemed competent but kind of anal."
"And I thought Lessing was a fucker."
Mr Lessing's and Mr. Bell's first impressions of each other.
"And I figured that we had better wait for you to show up to answer the question" -Lessing
"Because we have a stand-up comedy routine?" -Bell
"Because I'll start talking and you'll take over... like an old married couple!" -Lessing

Treetop views, sky blue hues, plus style and storage aplenty -- together they hatch the perfect nest for an oh-so-modern baby.
Who would guess a kitchen island could double as a changing table? The height is just right, and this one offers ample storage for diapers and other necessities. The casters lock in place or allow the table to be moved for more play space.
Installing a bank of cabinets in unused crawl space provides oodles of storage. Cabinets with pullout baskets, open shelves, and see-through fronts mean toys are accessible to kids, but clothes, shoes, and other items can be hidden behind closed doors. Opting for several coordinating small rugs can be more economical than purchasing a large area rug, and a fun way to create different play zones for active siblings.
Corral pint-size clothing in cabinets, which are the perfect height and width for these items. Changing the cabinet hardware also makes these cabinets bedroom-worthy.
A pendent light in place of a table or floor lamp avoids electrical cords and outlets that can tempt curious crawlers. The rocker-glider wears a washable slipcover with a soft nubby texture and solid neutral color that can transition to another room later.
In a variety of shapes and sizes, pillows and cushions rotate around the room as needed on the floor, chair, and window seat. Bold motifs, including this yummy banana split appliqué, play well with the nursery's whimsical animals and patterns.
Picture-box frames offer delightful dimension for nature-theme artwork. Hung in a row, they fill an awkward wall and achieve a clean-lined display within Baby's view but out of her reach. And because their soft sophistication won't soon be outgrown, you can justify investing in the original etchings.

It's prom season and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" had some fun with the First Lady Michelle Obama when they found a pucture from her prom in the 70's. She sported a metallic gold jacket with a killer slit up the left side.
"That split was a little high," she laughed in surprise. "I don't know if I'd let my kids go out in a split that high."

The Ford GT90 is a high performance concept car that was developed and manufactured by American car maker Ford. It was unveiled in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show as "the world's mightiest supercar". Performance included a top speed 253 mph (407 km/h)[1][2] completing a quarter mile at 140 mph (225 km/h) from a 720 hp (537 kW;730 PS) quad-turbocharged V12 engine DOHC, the exhaust of which was claimed to be hot enough to damage the body panels, requiring ceramic tiles similar to those on the Space Shuttle to keep the car from melting.
The mid-engined car is a spiritual successor to the Ford GT40, taking from it some styling cues, such as doors that cut into the roofline, but little else. In regard to angles and glass, the Ford GT90 was the first Ford to display the company's "New Edge" design philosophy. The GT90 was built around a honeycomb-section aluminum monocoque and its body panels were molded from carbon fiber.
The GT90 was built as a secret project by a small engineering team in just over six months. It shared components from another high profile stablemate—the Jaguar XJ220, as Jaguar was also owned by Ford at the time. The engine was a 90-degree, forced induction i.e. quad-turbo V-12, unique to the GT90.[3]
The GT90's 48-valve V12 has a six-litre engine displacement and produces up to 720 hp (537 kW). It is equipped with a forced induction system i.e. four Garrett AiResearch T2 turbochargers. The engine architecture was based on the 90-degree Ford Modular engine family utilizing a layout similar to that of a paired set of 4.6l V8 engines of which each had 2 cylinders removed. This yielded a 90-degree V12, with 90.2 mm bore and 77.3 mm stroke with the cylinders arranged in two banks in a single casting.[4]
Jacques Nasser, then a Ford executive and eventually CEO, was very proud of the car, and kept a model of it on his desk, as seen in a documentary on the U.K. television network Channel 4 on the Firestone tire incidents.[citation needed]
It also appeared in the video games Need for Speed II, Sega GT 2002, Ford Racing 2, Ford Racing 3, Gran Turismo 2, Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA, TOCA Race Driver 2, TOCA Race Driver 3, Project Gotham Racing 3, and Ford Street Racing. The car was featured in original Top Gear in a 1995 issue, while the car was still planned to enter production.

Basil Lowell is getting an up-close view of what his life will be like one year from now.
An assistant superintendent at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., Lowell is on the volunteer crew at Baltusrol Golf Club for the PGA Championship. That is the same PGA Championship which is scheduled in 2017 at Quail Hollow Club. He cannot wait.
"Your course is in the national spotlight, and you get to showcase your talents on a worldwide level," Lowell (pictured) says.
Quail Hollow Club is undergoing major changes as its major championship approaches. The transformation from Mini verde bermuda to Champion greens is only part of it for Quail Hollow, home to the PGA Tour's Wells Fargo Championship (in 2017, it will be played at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington in order to make way for the PGA Championship).
Holes are being changed and altered. An example: On No. 1, the hole is being lengthened, converting to a dogleg right, making it a longer par-4 for the pros.
Lowell, who is from Maine and earned his degree from Penn State, is handling tees and approaches at Baltusrol. He is paying close attention to the volunteer process, knowing that those people will be important to the cause a year from now at Quail Hollow.
"They're trying to ensure volunteers are in the best spots to feel confident to succeed so that way they can enjoy their time here," he says.

- Student by day, courier boy by night
New Delhi: Unlike his peers, Sujal Kumar Gupta had no time to celebrate after he bagged a seat in Delhi University. He had to find a job right away to pay his fees. Luckily, he found one with a courier company in North Campus. So, Gupta will now study in the morning and sort mails at night. A Sanskrit honours student at Kirori Mal, Gupta decided to come to Delhi against all odds. He is from Patna, Bihar. "My family cannot pay for my education any more. And I always wanted to study further and at the best university in the country. So, I decided to come here . Now that I've got a job with DTDC, I can at least pay my college fees," he said. Gupta scored an aggregate of 70.4% in his Class XII exams and had got through colleges in Patna as well. But he chose to come to DU "because of its reputation and for better opportunities in Delhi." His struggle, however, is far from over. He wasn't eligible to apply for the college hostel. "I have got accommodation in other hostels but I can't afford them. Whatever I'll earn as a mail boy will just be enough for my course fee," he said.

- Flipkart arm forays into courier business
BENGALURU: Flipkart's logistics arm EKart is entering the C2C (consumer-to-consumer) courier service segment starting next week via EKart Courier, a senior executive at the company told TOI. Leveraging the existing network of EKart, delivery executives will pick up packages from the customer's doorstep—once the courier order is placed online—and deliver them across India, along with providing packaging services. The logistics business got a boost when Binny Bansal took over as CEO of Flipkart. The courier service will be first rolled out in Bengaluru, and then in other big cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata over the next few months. Initially, EKart will provide two to four-day delivery time line, but is working on bringing in the overnight option as well — at a premium, of course. "We ran the pilot for a few months and realized the void in the courier market, which is largely unorganized. Making sure the pick-up is executed on time and providing packaging to ensure safety is the unique proposition to our model. Existing tech infrastructure will play a key role in ensuring good margins. We are looking to corner about 5-10% market share over a period of one year," said Amitesh Jha, VP at EKart. According to Jha, the new line of business is not competing with the likes of India Post, which has the highest reach across the country. "We are targeting only tier 1 markets now and our focus is on executing the whole process efficiently, proving the best possible experience," he said. At present, EKart claims to fulfil about 3.5 lakh orders. The fragmented C2C courier market is estimated to be about Rs2200 crore, with many small, regional players apart from new-age companies such as Parcelled, which operate in tier 1 markets. Bansal, who took over as CEO of Flipkart in January this year, has been making aggressive moves backing the logistics business, which he has said will be a big lever in generating cash flows. Bansal has big plans for EKart, starting with capital infusion to building a new team to look after its operations. The e-tailer is looking to run the logistics business independently, it is believed. "There is a significant opportunity in the gifting market via this route. It is not only the typical 'documents' courier that we are targeting via this channel, but at delivering personal packages which would usually be not delivered via existing agencies safely," Jha added. EKart has an employee strength of about 14,500 people spread across various channels of business that the logistics arm of largest e-tailer is involved in.

- Three more arrested for 'couriering' children to US
JALANDHAR: Police arrested three more persons on Friday in connection with the illegal immigration racket in which couples dropped several children in different corners of the world by using their valid, multiple-entry visas, and showing the children as their own. According to police, at least five couples had taken money for couriering the children and leaving them with contacts of families in the US, UK, France, and Canada. Police had unearthed the racket in April, when they first arrested the kingpin Sarabjit Sharma for illegally sending seven children to foreign countries. His wife Nisha and another person were also booked in the case. Following further investigations, the police on Friday identified four more couples involved in the racket. They had couriered 13 children to the US last year. According to Jalandhar police, the gang ran such an intricate operation that it was difficult for cops to track down the real identities of the children or their parents whose kids they 'transported'. The kids were given new identities in the foreign land, showing them as the children of these couples. While the police have gathered details of all the 13 children couriered by the four couples, the real identities of only 10 were established. Police said tip-offs by a barber helped them crack the case. The children from Sikh families were taken to this barber by Sarabjit Sharma for cutting their hair, so that they looked like kids of Hindu couples. ADCP (crime) Viveksheel Soni said apart from Sarabjit and his wife, the four couples involved in the racket are Amandeep Singh and his wife Harjinder Kaur, Davinder Kumar and Suman Lata, Karan Sharma and Rakhi Sharma, Deepak Modi and Komal Modi. Out of these four, only Davinder Kumar has been arrested by the police. Davinder and his wife smuggled out four children to the US. The original name of one boy, who travelled in the name of Sham Sharma to the US as son of Sarabjit Sharma, is Pritpal Singh, son of Satpal Singh, a resident of Nadala in Kapurthala district. "Satpal has been arrested, and during questioning, he revealed that he had paid Rs28 lakh to Sarabjit after selling his agricultural land," said Soni. Another child, who travelled in the name of Ajit Singh with Amandip Singh and his wife Harjinder Kaur, has been identified as Jobanpreet Singh, son of Sarabpreet Singh, a resident of Balo Chak village in Kapurthala district. Sarabpreet has already been arrested, and he has revealed that he paid Rs26 lakh to Sarabjit for sending his son to the US. One Ajay Kumar, who travelled to the US as son of Davinder Sharma and Suman Lata, is actually Jagjit Singh, son of Sukhjinder Singh, a resident of Bholath in Kapurthala. Police said his father had died earlier. Police claimed the racketeers used a lacunae in the law that children below 14 years do not require police verification for passport. The 'fake parents' used to submit forged birth certificates and school certificates for getting the passport. According to cops, the children's relatives in the foreign countries used to pick up the kids from the airport itself, and provide accommodation and other facilities. It is believed that the children were smuggled out to give them a better future.

Hi guys, what's the consensus on Dalton sizing? I have black Delrays (8 last) in 11.5D and they are kinda snug in the toe. I have walnut burnished Jeffersons in 11.5D and they are real tight in the toe, to the point I might sell them even though they are gorgeous. I was thinking maybe 11.5e in the Dalton? Looking at getting some nice Chocolates since they seem more rare plus they go with more of my work suits. The nearest AE is over 2 hours away or I'd try some on. Thanks!post #16447 of 707372/25/13 at 11:06am
I'm a 10.5D in the MacNeil, Player, Lombard and 10.5D in Dalton too. I have the Van Ness in 10EEE but for me the Daltons are TTS.post #16448 of 707372/25/13 at 11:08am

Yes. After reading their reviews online (at the AE website) there is a customer who has an office in Dubai and they shipped his shoes there. I don't see why they couldn't ship them to Germany. Might take a call to customer service, but I'm sure they'll get it done without issue.post #16449 of 707372/25/13 at 11:26am
In 'lesser' shoes I've been a standard 12M for many years. In McTavish I've got two pair of 11.5E, and my Dalton's are 12D. On the weekend I was just fitted for Stands - 11.5D (fit like a glove). I know, I'm confused too!?post #16450 of 707372/25/13 at 11:47am

Daltons should fit close to the 5th last (parks, fifth ave, etc.) from my experience - they are more or less TTSpost #16451 of 707372/25/13 at 11:56ampost #16452 of 707372/25/13 at 12:50pm

I also have a question (I mean, some questions) about the Daltons.
First, I never bought anything else than cheap generic shoes and I never had to care about the width. Usually I fit a 9 1/2, sometimes a 10. Now I only started being interested in real shoes and the Daltons really grabbed my attention.
One problem is that I have a higher insteap on the right foot. Another problem: I live in Canada, so I can't go to an AE store and try different sizes. All I could find in Montreal was a 9 1/2 D and a 10 D. 10 fit better, but was still not comfortable enough. It hurts the foot at the bottom of the tongue, where there is a stitch.
Third problem: I don't feel confident enough to pay full price for these, so I thought about buying seconds. I'm saying this because I could order 10 E at Harry Rosen in Montreal, but I'd have to pay the full price. That's too much for me, for a first pair of shoes that I won't wear daily (I work home, these would be for a dressy casual look).
I'd like to know if you guys think a 9 1/2 EEE would be a good idea, as suggested by the guy at the Shoe Bank who answered my e-mails. He said he didn't have any 9 1/2 or 10 E, and suggested 9 1/2 EEE or 10 D. I already know the latter is too tight, but I don't know about the other option.
Also I don't know how much breaking in the shoes will help. What's your advice, people? Please share your experience with me.post #16454 of 707372/25/13 at 1:21pm

Support the declaration on line!

You can support the Declaration of the Rights of Peasants on line!
Via Campesina invites every organisation, group, individual, public authority to support the adoption of a Declaration on the Rights of Peasant's by the Human Right Council.

La Via Campesina's struggle for the rights of peasants
Almost half of the people in the world are peasants and small farmers and the food they produce is the backbone of people's life. Agriculture is not just an economic activity, but it also means life, culture and dignity for all of us.
Nonetheless, peasants all over the world have to struggle to defend their right to feed themselves and their communities. Every year, thousands of peasant leaders are being arrested in their effort to maintain land, water and natural resources—the effort to preserve life. Incidents of massacres, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and detention, and political persecution and harassment are common.
Poor rural families, represent 75 % of the people suffering from structural hunger. Illiteracy rates increase in rural areas, health care and public services are vanishing and poverty is raging. Women and children are the most affected and discrimination towards women has put double burden on their shoulders.
The violations of the rights of peasants have risen dramatically with the liberalisation of agriculture that forced farmers to produce for export and to engage in industrial modes of production. International institutions such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) compel peasants and small farmers to follow that path. Over the past decades, peasants have disappeared massively all over the world, and a handful of large transnational corporations (TNCs) have taken control over food production and trade (from seeds producers to supermarket chains). Governments and international institutions have developed policies to support agribusiness and to dismantle peasant's agriculture. Food has been left in the hands of speculators, leading to the current food crisis.
Towards a legal framework
There are already some mechanisms and laws intended to protect human rights, such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). However, they have limitations especially to address the distinctive rights of peasants. Also, the Charter of the Peasant, produced by the UN in 1979, has not been able to protect the peasants from international liberalization policies. The other international conventions, which also deal with peasants' rights, have not been sufficient either. These conventions include: International Labour Organization Convention 169, Clause 8-J Convention on Biodiversity, Point 14.60 Agenda 21, and Cartagena Protocol.
This is why La Via Campesina has been campaigning since 2000 to create an instrument to respect, protect, fulfill, and uphold the rights of peasants within the United Nations — the International Convention on the Rights of Peasants. We also promote the development of legally binding mechanisms at local, provincial, national and regional levels to guarantee the protection of the rights of peasants. The long struggle for the adoption of the International Convention goes hand in hand with the struggle on the land, in our fields, in the reality of our daily life.
As a first step towards the adoption of a Convention on the Right of Peasants by the Human Right Council, we demand the adoption of a Declaration by the Advisory Committee of the HR Council by the end of this year. This initiative is also supported by Jean Ziegler, member of the Advisory Committee.
As described by Via Campesina in its own Declaration on the rights of Peasants, the rights of peasants mainly consists of (1) right to life and to an adequate standard of living; (2) right to land and territory; (3) right to seeds and traditional agricultural knowledge and practice; (4) right to means of agricultural production; (5) right to information and agriculture technology; (6) freedom to determine price and market for agricultural production; (7) right to the protection of agriculture values; (8) right to biological diversity; (9) right to preserve the environment; (10) freedoms of association, opinion and expression; and (11) right to have access to justice.

Presentations by Panellists in Discussion on Realization of the Right to Food
Presentation by Paul Nicholson
watch the video
PAUL NICHOLSON, of La Via Campesina, said this was an important opportunity to place the realization of the right to food, to be a fisher, a farmer and a herder, in the context of human rights, and not just in the context of the global economic chain. The causes of the crisis showed that 70 per cent of hunger was rural, and was primarily due to the export and industrial modes of production, and the privatization of market control, which were instruments that multinational corporations controlled leaving prices in speculative hands, and resulting in a high price for the consumer. Ongoing destruction of local food production was a consequence of neo-liberal policies forced upon countries through the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in particular, policies that promoted the import of cheap food and the privatization of natural resources. Those policies were driven at the global level which had direct consequences at the local level. Transnational corporations took over the land and imposed industrial food and agro-fuel production, expelling peasants from their land, turning them into slum dwellers and exploiting workers on transnational plantations.
European Coordination Via Campesina supports Çiftçi-Sen

and denounces the lack of union liberty in Turkey
On December 2nd, the Farmer Union Confederation Çiftçi-Sen, member of the European Coordination Via Campesina is facing a law suit where the legality of the Confederation is at stake.
The governorship of Ankara is demanding the closure of the Confederation on the basis that there are no domestic legal arrangements allowing for farmers to establish unions.
The Turkish Republic has failed to bring domestic law in concordance with the international agreements it has ratified, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ILO Convention concerning freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise. However, international treaties prevail over domestic laws and therefore this law suit has no legal justification.
Call to action on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 10 Dec 2008
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 13 November 2008 00:20
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) turns 60 on the 10th of December 2008. As the declaration represents the worldwide expression of the rights which all human beings are inherently entitled to, it is important for the peasants to also commemorate this occasion.
Peassants represent almost half of the population on earth and we are the basis of the world's food system. We are working hard to fill people's plates every day—but we face the hard reality of the food, energy, climate and financial crises. Thoses crises also create massive and systematic violations of the rights of the peasants.

Keep the patriot's call of founding fathers
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 at 12:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
The shores of America have always been a land of hope, hope of religious expression and freedom from Jamestown to the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, hope of independence for 13 colonies seeking to secure certain unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, hope of freedom and equality for Africans abducted and forced into slavery, hope of equal representation and opportunity for women as coequal partners with men and hope of new beginnings and new opportunities for immigrants leaving the old world behind for the new.
However, it was one foundational hope that made America great. The founding fathers expressed it in these words, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Because hope in the hearts of good men may grow dim, and because there are evil and ignorant men who have contempt for their Creator, for His obvious design for nature, and who strive to deceive, corrupt, and destroy the hope of men, then we must be ever vigilant to cultivate hope in our Creator and the assurance it brings to the hearts of men. Therefore all men who earnestly seek to experience the equal and full measure of the expression of their rights should fix the foundation of their hope with a sacred solemn covenant in natures God.
For when the people of a nation fix their hope in natures God, then He will restore the blessing of experiencing the equal and full measure of the rights with which He endowed to them. Therefore when God can find at least one man in our nation who is willing to firmly fix the foundation of his hope in the Creator then there is hope for America.
However, history has proven that not all men will heed the patriots call of our founding fathers to entrust themselves to their Creator. Therefore we must continuously strive to keep the patriots call of our founding fathers by fervently guarding the hope with which we were entrusted until the day the last patriot is no more. When this day arrives, natures God will intervene into the affairs of men to champion His own cause bringing to full fruition His designs for nature and for the blessings He endowed to men.

Editorial Reviews
Children's Literature - Cathy Puett MillerPart of a series entitled "Pebble Character Values," this book is designed to give below-level readers a nonfiction text they can read successfully. Although there are no more than fourteen words to a page and the text is controlled vocabulary, the book contains many familiar nonfiction features such as headings, a table of contents, a glossary, and an index and is a good first introduction to factual text. It also includes "Read More" and "Internet Sites" segments in the back of the book for further explanation. The entire series (fourteen titles in all) can be used in language arts instruction, character education classes, or in a classroom library. Engaging a consultant in character education, Dr. Madonna Murphy, to review this book before publishing adds credibility to the contents. This book does a good job of showing the interaction between individuals of different ages (and sends a strong message about friendship by doing so). It is interesting to note that a real friend of the author (her bus driver) is included in a photograph on page twelve. However, I was disappointed no African Americans were included in this or any of the other four titles I reviewed in this series, especially since they represent such a key element of American culture.

Cecilia Bartoli On The Story Of 'Sacrificium'
Cecilia Talks With Scott Simon
Hear Bartoli talk with NPR's Scott Simon on Weekend edition Saturday
Opera singer Cecilia Bartoli is a restless artist who's always looking for something fresh; she's always on the go. We tracked her down in Zurich, Switzerland, where she took time out from a tour to talk about her new album, Sacrificium, an homage to the castrato singers who ruled the world of opera like rock stars in the 18th century. The name "castrato" refers to the barbaric practice — mostly administered in Italy — of castrating prepubescent boys to prevent their voices from "breaking" so that they could retain a singing voice that soared in the high registers of sopranos.
As is her habit, Bartoli has unearthed rare music written for these virtuoso singers of the Baroque era. Most of the arias on the new disc have never been recorded before. Bartoli joined NPR Music's Tom Huizenga to answer questions from listeners in a live chat room and discuss the disturbingly sad story of the castrati — one that nevertheless spawned some of the most thrilling music in all of opera.

I'm working with Python/numpy/scipy to write a small ray tracer. Surfaces are modelled as two-dimensional functions giving a height above a normal plane. I reduced the problem of finding the point of intersection between ray and surface to finding the root of a function with one variable. The functions are continuous and continuously differentiable.
Is there a way to do this more efficiently than simply looping over all the functions, using scipy root finders (and maybe using multiple processes)?
Edit: The functions are the difference between a linear function representing the ray and the surface function, constrained to a plane of intersection.

What does a perfect pasta contain? It requires a great deal of skill to choose the right herbs and ingredients to go with pasta.While pasta can be spaghetti, fettuccini or lasagne, fresh parsely and oregano make the perfect herbs.Tossing it in virgin olive oil and sundried tomatos would give out a lovely aroma and as far as topping goes it is better to stick to good old capers and olives for that pungent flavor and finishing it with parmesan cheese, would make the perfect creamy Italian pasta.

Combining high-class erotic photography and debaucherous hardcore face, pussy, and ass-fucking into one tasty package, Explicite Art's head honcho, John B. Root, has managed to carve out quite an impressive niche for himself in the global cyberporn market. From tender lesbian kissing to rough and sweaty double-penetrations, Explicite Art combines the best of the hardcore world with the artistic inclinations of softcore erotica to create a perfect hybrid of both adult worlds. A unique take on glammy porno, this original European site pulls no punches visually, erotically, sexually.
Porn has been good to Peter North. After a brief stint in the gay-for-pay world, North made his great migration over to hetero hardcore and found his true calling. Painting the faces of thousands of pornstar babes - legends like Nina Hartley and newbies like Karter Foxx among them - North and his bros have proven themselves a reliable source of quality hardcore. Now part of the HD revolution, adding tons of content every month, and likely to have you investigating load-enlarging treatments out of admiration, envy, and respect, for many porno viewers, Peter North points the way.
Petter Hegre: Norwegian-born photographer, businessman, filmmaker, erotic artist, and lover of women. Hegre Art, Petter's online base, is a fantastic venue on which his immaculate erotic portraits of stunning European women are showcased in glorious high-resolution photographs and vibrant High Definition videos. If you've been hunting around for a site that gives you an incredibly up-close view of the naked forms of some of the world's most beautiful women, you're in the right place.
Hustler is known around the world for its adventurous style of pornography, a style as explicit as it is glamorous and proving as popular as it has controversial, and that style is in full flight on Hustler's official online video emporium. Now in its 18th year of operation, Hustler is still pounding out the porno with aplomb. But, what's this? An increasingly nonexclusive archive devoid of 1080p HD videos? What gives, Hustler? Are you leading the early 21st Century's first porno revolution or simply cutting a few corners?
Busty women - and by "busty" I mean those ranging from "cleavage-baring" to "unable to be restrained by conventional brassieres" - are a key ingredient in most pornography and especially that of Denys Defrancesco. A Frenchman now based in Budapest, Defrancesco has many websites showcasing his work, but none are more inviting than DDF Busty. Home to women with seemingly boundless breasts, hooters that leap from their underwire cages and grab your attention by the balls, demanding a closer look, DDF Busty is Defrancesco's chest-heavy porn emporium.
When lecherously staring at women, most hetero guys ogle breasts, buttocks, and faces, that's a given. But those who let their eyes wander further south aren't necessarily aiming to observe a pubic tuft or tight snatch, it's Hot Legs and Feet they're after! A DDF site with a very clear purpose and product, Hot Legs and Feet sees Europe's most sensual models pose in stockings, tights, and nothing at all before enjoying a fondling of their lower limbs. Paired with men and women (often two-at-a-time) but also going it alone in no-less-kinky solo scenes, the Euro hotties twinkling their toes at Hot Legs and Feet are well worth watching no matter where the camera is aimed.
It was only a matter of time before Mason, the acclaimed director behind EroticaX and HardX, lent her hand to another porno subgenre that's seeing a surprise upsurge in popularity of late: interracial sex. (More specifically, black guys with mostly white women.) Pairing daring dames like Abella Danger, Liza Rowe, Morgan Lee, and Yhivi with the biggest, blackest swinging dicks in porn today, Mason has created a safe space for harmonious interracial congress. Viewable online or off in 1080p HD videos and high-res galleries, DarkX manages to keep both the sex and the visuals at a very high quality, and has even dispensed with those persistent and contemptuous race-based slang terms. Now, hey, that's a big step forward!
Well, this here's a term not often found in the US porn industry. British English slang for male masturbation or pretentiousness, "wank" is an insult, an activity, and a character trait all wrapped up in four letters. Wankz, however, is a huge, thriving porn network of more than fifty adult sites detailing everything from female masturbation and porn auditions to CFNM fetishism, interracial orgies, and cock-hungry midgets. Don't you think it's time you made Wankz part of your porno vocabulary?

Masada is an important historical site with emotional value to secular Israelis as a symbol of Jewish survival, but it has no sacred status. The Nazarenes themselves were just another Jewish sect, no different from the many other sects that abounded at that time. They were just Jews who believed that Jesus was the messiah. Shortly before, there were Jews who believed that Bar Kochba was the messiah. Later, there would be Jews who thought Shabbatai Tzvi was the messiah.Read more ›
When the body of an Orthodox Jew named Avram Ferris turns up in a state of advanced putrefaction in Montreal, Tempe is called in to help determine the cause of death. Adding to the mystery, a stranger named Kessler passes Tempe a photograph, stating that it provides a clue as to why Ferris was killed. The photo shows a supine skeleton, and various elements in the picture indicate that it was taken at an archaeological dig. Tempe calls her pal, Jake Drum, a colleague at University of North Carolina-Charlotte and an expert in biblical archaeology, to shed some light on the photograph.
Jake believes that the picture was taken at Masada, Israel, in 1963. He further states that it may contain explosive evidence that Yigael Yadin, the archaeologist who excavated Masada, wanted to keep hidden from the world. Ferris' death and the puzzling photograph lead Tempe, Jake, and Ryan to Israel, where they encounter intrigue, violence, and ever more complex biblical conundrums involving skeletal remains.
The resemblance between "Cross Bones" and Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" is strictly intentional. In fact, Tempe mentions Brown's blockbuster bestseller more than once, with a wink to the reader, as if the Reichs is saying, "Sure, this is another 'Da Vinci Code' clone, but I'm putting my own spin on it." Unfortunately, Reichs doesn't quite pull it off.Read more ›
Years previous to these events in Montreal the archeological excavation at the fort of Masada in Isreal discovers a chamber with the bones of 25 individuals. Something about this discovery causes the archeologists to suppress the information (this actually happened). Somehow Avram Ferris, the victim, had gotten mixed up with as set of these bones and now it has cost him his lift.
But whose skeleton is it? Could is be a Christ who never actually died, one of the Jewish defenders of Masada, or a frightened Christian convert caught in the rush of the Roman effort to end the insurrection. And just to make things more convolute, when Temperance travels to Israel with Ryan, her lover, to investigate the crime, she is catapulted (literally) into a mystery that might very well be the Jesus family tomb.
This is an excellent intellectual thriller that has our forensic archaeologist and her detective lover trying to piece together both the current story and the events of 2000 years ago. Somehow the stories are related, and discovering how means solving the murder. Or dying if Temperance isn't careful. But prepare yourself for a delightful trip though history and modern Israeli politics with a story that is sometimes reminiscent of a Dan Brown novel and sometimes just hardboiled detection.Read more ›

Schumacher, the best? don't make me laugh. Senna,Prost,Mansell and even Hill had more talent in their little finger, however what these drivers did not have was a bunch of no hopers racing around them, moving out of their way when they saw them in their mirrors. These drivers did not ram people off tracks and park their cars to stop other people getting a better time. They did not have drivers in the same team who were just there to make up the numbers. His trophies tell a different story to his actual ability and he will never be the best in my opinion, for what that is worth.

'Ghostbusters' Entertains, But Lacks the Paul Feig EdgeSubmitted by PatrickMcD on July 15, 2016 - 10:18am
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO –Throughout the reboot of "Ghostbusters," it becomes obvious that co-writer/director Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids," "The Heat") is just going to do a straight re-do of the 1984 film, because the film lacks his sardonic touch, even though it does entertain and has the requisite big special effects.
'Zoolander 2' Continues Silly, Surreal HilaritySubmitted by PatrickMcD on February 12, 2016 - 9:42am
Rating: 4.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Humor is subject to the receiver, of course, and what is funny is as distinct to each individual as a fingerprint. Having said that, I found "Zoolander 2" to be hilarious, as it delivered again what made the first film work – tweaking the self-importance of fashion and celebrity.
Entertaining 'The Martian' is a Hollywood Space OperaSubmitted by PatrickMcD on October 5, 2015 - 1:47pm
Rating: 4.0/5.0
CHICAGO – It's all based on science, they told us! "The Martian" is an old fashion feel-good movie about the hard working astronauts and scientists of the good old American space program, trying to rescue a stranded spaceman from Mars, aided by a brave cast of astro-colleagues.
Adolescence Boldly Drawn in 'Diary of a Teenage Girl'Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 14, 2015 - 3:42pm
Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – Real boldness, real truth, is hard to fine in teenage stories. The confusing and hormonal time is often trivialized, or used as a prop for unlikely situations. "Diary of a Teenage Girl" pulls no such punches, in a tale of a 15 year old girl having her first love affair – with a 35 year old man.
Heroic, Visually Bold 'How to Train Your Dragon 2'Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 13, 2014 - 4:46pm
Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is spectacular in 3D, the filmmakers actually geared the film to enhance that much maligned vision. It also features a warm and heroic story about the coming-of-age for the character Hiccup, and his now fully trained dragon, Toothless.
Frustrating Journey Into 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'Submitted by BrianTT on December 24, 2013 - 10:31am
Rating: 2.5/5.0
I so want to love Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." Stiller's directorial work on films like "The Cable Guy" and "Tropic Thunder" was underrated, the source material is great, the message of living in the moment has more value in an increasingly cluttered world, and the time seems right for an imaginative journey into the mind of a likable protagonist like Mr. Mitty.
'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' Defies Pattern of Comedy SequelsSubmitted by BrianTT on December 17, 2013 - 1:38pm
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Comedy sequels are SO rarely worthwhile. Most good comedy is dependent on being fresh, new, and unpredictable – words not commonly uses to describe sequels. For every "Wayne's World 2," there are a dozen films of the caliber of "Ghostbusters 2," "Arthur 2," and "Caddyshack II" – movies that are so bad that they almost diminish the legacy of their predecessors.
Same Formula in Weak Sequel 'Despicable Me 2'Submitted by PatrickMcD on July 3, 2013 - 9:15am
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Oh those wacky Minions. We just never know what those little yellow guys in "Despicable Me 2" will do, because they simply DO EVERYTHING! They sing, fart, burp, perform parodies and handle hazardous materials. More than comic relief, they are all-purpose story coverage.
Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm Consider 'Friends with Kids'Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 9, 2012 - 4:27pm
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Jennifer Westfeldt created a distinct movie persona in her debut in 2001 in "Kissing Jessica Stein," but she has been generally off the radar since then. Her choice for a major film re-emergence is as a nebbish career woman with less memorable character traits. She also directs Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Chris O'Dowd, Megan Fox and Maya Rudolph in "Friends with Kids."
Kristen Wiig Carries Charming Comedy of 'Bridesmaids'Submitted by BrianTT on May 13, 2011 - 11:22am
Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – With an incredibly talented ensemble, heartfelt script, and honest characterizations, "Bridesmaids" has been touted as a revolutionary re-examination of what one should expect from the phrase "chick flick." Having never been much of a fan of genre labels, the idea that this film should be judged differently because it has female stars irks me a bit, but if that gets more people into theatre seats and away from the junk that typically qualifies as "entertainment for women," I'll happily embrace it. For whatever reason you see it, the most important thing to know is this simple – "Bridesmaids" is funny. Damn funny.

I don't believe that it is.
This company is being deliberatey ignored by the investment community. The biggest reason is the CEO who continues to throw cold water on it during every cc. The death of the PC bs by Motley Fool and others, that have never been refuted by management etc. What we need; being the leading chip manufacturer is a bona fide offer to buy INTC. The good news would most likely be a 50% premium, the ousting of the senior management who completely ignor the stock holder and the liquidation of investor relations who do nothing for the stockholders.
INTEL simply hasn't had aany positive news strong enough to convince the majority of traders and institutions that the future earnings will improve. They are making a fortune selling options on the stock and leaving it languish. It could turn on a dime either way, but no catalyst to do that yet.

Metal Deck Supply, Aurora, Ill., the contest was conducted as part of NRCA's National Roofing Week held June 5-11. More than 3,000 votes were cast online to determine the three contest winners.
Showdown in Denver
by Louisa Hart
When the EPDM Roofing Association learned of a proposed "cool roof" amendment to Denver's building codes in 2015, the association called upon local construction professionals to oppose the amendment. The resulting coalition, significantly supported by members of the Colorado Roofing Association, successfully persuaded the Denver City Council to reject the amendment that would have required all new low-slope roof systems on commercial buildings to be highly reflective surfaces.

Dealing with DOL's new rules
by Stephen M. Phillips
The Department of Labor's (DOL's) new regulations governing the payment of overtime to salaried employees may affect your company. Employees whose salaries are less than $47,476 per year will be entitled to overtime compensation as of Dec. 1. DOL calculates 22.5 million workers potentially are affected by the new regulations, including 130,000 construction industry workers.
Lessons from the field
by Amy Staska
In 2015, NRCA's Workforce Solutions Committee commissioned a survey of current roofing employees to identify what compels them to join a roofing company and what keeps them there. The results of the survey, which was offered in English and Spanish, offer insight about how roofing companies can better recruit and retain more employees capable of developing successful careers in the roofing industry.
Current Issue
The July issue features the talented winners of NRCA's Children's Art Contest; a battle in Denver to defeat a proposed "cool roof" building code amendment; and Korellis Roofing's installation of PVC and vegetative roof systems on a new Chicago Public Library, among other topics.

Polish Stocks: KGHM, PGE Power Utility Shares Move in Warsaw
Poland's WIG20 Index rose 0.8 percent to 2,052.45 at 11:16 a.m. in Warsaw, advancing for a second day.
The following are among the most active stocks on the Warsaw Stock Exchange today. Stock symbols follow company names.
KGHM Polska Miedz SA (KGH PW), the country's sole copper and silver producer, climbed 1.3 percent to 119.7 zloty, rising the most in a week on a closing basis as the two metals advanced after Greek opinion polls showed greater support for pro-bailout parties.
PGE SA (PGE PW), the nation's largest electricity producer, surged 2.2 percent to 17.53 zloty, gaining the most in more than two weeks after the company said it has many potential bidders for a stake in its power plant project.
