Ye Ghods! Why you gotta back up your stuff
I'm speechless. So I'm letting this do the talking for me.
Finding a surprise in my character: 776 Words
One chance comment in reply to my other character changed my understanding of their relationship, though, and gave me this gorgeous twist that is going to completely alter the ending I'd had planned. I just LOVE the way this is coming together.
By my math, I have about four thousand more words to go to hit the ending. Might run a bit longer, but I'm aiming for 6000 words and right now I'm still on target.
Got 516 words on my Kellow Tower story
Not going to let you know what it was, but it completely changed the way I see the world in which I'm writing, and the relationships between my main characters. And in one case, even who a main character is.
But here's my story sentence:
One captive among forty-five aliens discovers the secret of the Tower in which they are imprisoned, and joins the fight to save her captor and his dying race.
And this morning's writing went really well.
I've started writing fiction again
This is such a delicate thing I'm almost afraid to mention it. But stories started sneaking back into my consciousness after the parathyroid surgery, and lately I've been starting each weekday morning writing a few hundred words.
It's what I can make time for before I start into the still-enormous daily workload of getting the HollysWritingClasses.com site up and running and out of beta.
I'm not doing anything on projects folks know about. Those require research, development, timelines, backstory—infrastructure.
And this feels like a seed sprouting after a long, hard winter. Like, if I don't step carefully, I could kill it.
So I'm stepping carefully. Right now, I'm just putting together a little story in an interesting new world. I'm aiming for about ten-thousand words.
I have about 1200. It's science fiction. It has interesting aliens.
It makes me happy.
Between tongue surgery, site rebuilding, and bringing back How to Think Sideways…
I've been swamped. Recovering from the last tongue surgery has so far taken a month and a half, and I'm not fully back yet. I can speak, but still have some problems. I still have some pain. I thought I was doing great that first week. And then I tried to move off of liquids and discovered that eating and swallowing were much more difficult than I'd remembered.
My NEXT tongue surgery is July 26th.
In between now and then, I'm working crazy hours to make sure the OTHER site is running smoothly, because I discovered with the last surgery that I don't bounce back quite as quickly as I imagined I would.
Months late, Dan and I got the software on the other site stable enough for me to bring back How To Think Sideways. It's launching now, and everything is WORKING correctly now, so I can finally announce it over here.
Here's how much time is left on that:
And once that's done, Dan is going to move the front end of the site out of beta, and I'm going to get to work on bringing back How to Write a Series.
Once HTWAS is back, I'm going back to writing fiction full-time. I'll be spending time every day in the classroom, I'll update my classes and offer live-online workshops, and I'll keep both the big and little classes available.
But I have books and stories that have been waiting long enough. And while the site rebuild that I imagined would take six months is now in its second year, the rebuild has been worth it. Things work, and work well. They'll keep working better. And I am gradually getting time back from this work that, once the classes are fixed, I can put into my own writing again.
I'm excited. My plan is:
Finish Longview.
Write Emerald Sun.
Write Cady stuff.
Done with the last tongue surgery…plus, the contrary child and the sideways-thinking washcloths
Friday I was first in line in the outpatient OR. The folks were good, the surgery was brief (for me—I slept through the whole thing), and I came out with the bottom half of my face swollen to twice its normal and my tongue looking like it lost a fight with a tiger.
It's Monday, and I'm creeping toward feeling human again. This surgery didn't hurt anywhere near as much as the first three, but it was and is still not picnic.
I spent my awake time knitting myself some washcloths.They don't look like normal washcloths to you? They're not.
They are washcloths evolved from a lifetime of thinking sideways.
When I was fifteen, I read an article in one of my mother's women's magazines (probably Redbook—that's the only one for which I remember the title) that declared that women should never smile too broadly, or let their eyes crinkle when they smiled, or in any way stretch their faces, because this would cause wrinkles.
I remember looking at my mother, and then at my father, and thinking that my father looked younger than my mother, even though he wasn't.
And I thought, "What does he do that she doesn't?"
And I thought, "He shaves."
I'd watched him shave. Watched him stretch and contort his face into weird expressions while trying to get the elusive hairs beneath the blade of the razor. And I thought, "Every time he does that, he's exercising the muscles of his face. THAT's why he looks younger."
So I decided that I would do that. Oh, not shave. But exercise my face muscles. Every time I took a shower from then on, I made sure my face fought the washcloth. I scrubbed my skin with as much muscle behind it as I could bring to bear, and tightened each muscle in my face to keep it from moving when the washcloth attacked.
Forty years later, I still do this. I have some laugh lines, but the muscles of my face are still in good shape, and I think for fifty-five, I've held up all right.
But regular washcloths are too soft and timid. I wanted something with some bite to it. A few years ago, I discovered cones of dishcloth cotton, and started making myself washcloths out of those.
And one day, I bumped the loofah-on-a-stick of the edge of the tub one time too many, and said the hell with this, and decided I was going to make my washcloths twice as long, so I could use them as back scrubbers as well as face scrubbers.
Now I can scrub my back by holding the ends of my washcloth. My shoulders get nice range of motion exercises. My face still fights the washcloth. And I don't have any annoying junk in my shower to trip over, knock off, or otherwise annoy myself with.
So this is weird, right? But human beings are tool-makers, and learning to think sideways is the process of learning to imagine and create your own tools, and your own improved reality.
With that said, then, I'm starting the rebuild of the How To Think Sideways: Career Survival School for Writers class today.
Once I get it done, I'm going to do an early, very limited de-bug release at the old price. If you want to get in on that, make sure you're on the early-bird announcement list.
The writing shop on HollysWritingClasses.com is now live
Even though my new Holly's Writing Classes site is still in high beta, I'm delighted to finally have the writing shop open.
We haven't made the site pretty yet, and for the moment the shop is very plain and simple (no frills), but things work now.
So I've brought back many of my previous classes, and am still working on getting the rest of them live.
I'm also building new workshops and classes.
The one I'm working on currently is Title. Cover. Copy. Book Marketing for Fiction Writers.
That's going to go live in the next couple of weeks. Following that will be a workshop on developing your writing voice.
I'm excited. It's taken a long time to get to this point, but I'm glad to finally be here.
And a quick note. Both How To Think Sideways and How to Write A Series are coming back, but are not back yet. Both classes are so big that we're having to develop better ways for students to navigate through them easily.
Just getting from page to page was a problem in previous versions. That will not be a problem when they go live on this site.
Waking up like a kid: parathyroidectomy for the win
Last night I put my head on my pillow, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
When I opened them again, it was morning.
That may not sound like much. So let me put it in context for you.
I remember waking up one perfect summer morning in 1966 in the tiny Ohio village where I lived. I was five.
I remember the movement of the white curtain blowing, the smell of the air—which was green and sweet, with just a touch of bleach—the sun cutting windowpane squares on the blanket and my skinny legs. I remember the sound outside my bedroom window, which was the sound of sheets and laundry flapping on the line.
I remember bouncing out of bed, full of energy, ready for life. My thoughts, whatever they were, are lost to me now, but what I felt, summed up from the fifty years I've lived since, was this: The day is mine, and the whole world in it.
Time lets you work for and earn things that pay you, and if you work hard and with a plan, it pays you way out of proportion to what you give up in the innocent exuberance of being a kid: life and time have brought me a terrific husband who is my best friend, three excellent kids, writing skills, a ton of books with more still to come, and the mission and joy of teaching the writers willing to work for it how to do what I've learned to do and love so much.
But I thought that the days of waking up like a kid were behind me. I thought the sheer raw delight of opening my eyes on a new morning seeming instants after closing my eyes and falling asleep the night before were gone forever.
I assumed that the price I paid for the joy I take from every day and every minute I get to live, to love who I love and to do what I fought so hard to get to do, would be paid for by falling asleep in painful inches, waking up multiple times each night, twisting and turning to find a comfortable position, trying tricks to quiet my racing mind.
I assumed that life would be ever-expanding pain consuming me in creeping increments, and I accepted that as part of the price I had to pay for the privilege and wonder of getting to be alive.
I'd forgotten what it felt like to feel good—feeling bad had become my new good.
Turns out I was wrong.
It's now been nine days, plus a few hours as I write this, since I had that parathyroid tumor removed.
Pain free, with my mind calm, my thoughts clear and focused, last night I climbed into bed, counted my breaths as I always do, and fell asleep so quickly I don't even remember counting.
And I slept like a kid. After what felt like minutes later, I opened them. Sunlight outlined the verticals that cover the window.
I sat up and grinned, full of energy, full of life. No pain. No clouds. And this time, I can tell you exactly what I was thinking.
The day is mine, and the whole world in it!
Fifteen minutes changed my life. Fifteen minutes was the time it took my surgical team to make the 1.5-inch incision, remove the parathyroid tumor and check the other three glands for function, and close the incision.
My sincerest thanks to Dr. Norman, Dr. Boone, and Dr. Parrack. And my thanks, too, to the amazing staff of the Norman Parathyroid Center:
- Jayme, who helped me get set up to have the operation,
- the security guard who wished me good luck and pointed my guys and me in the right direction as I walked in to have my surgery,
- the receptionist who was so brightly cheerful at not-quite-five AM,
- woman who set up my medical records and told me how much she enjoyed working where she does (you know how rare it is to hear people say that?)
- the warm, friendly, wonderfully competent nurses who talked me clearly and concisely through what would happen,
- the young woman who wheeled me down to have a scan and with whom I laughed about the shocking cold of the morning
- the guy who did my sestamibi scan and with whom I had a fun chat about video gaming and the superiority of the XBox One controller but the better games and selection available for Playstation 4 (including the upcoming No Man's Sky, though I couldn't quite sell him on that)
- and the anesthesiologist who took the time to reassure me about the anesthesia, and who's voice was the last one I heard before I woke up to a future I could not yet imagine.
I was an RN for ten years before I got the three-book deal that let me quit to write full time. I worked in a number of hospitals, knew all kinds of doctors, saw all kinds of medical care. I've experienced medical services from the other end too, as a patient and as the family member of people I love.
I never experienced — or even imagined possible — the uniformly spectacular care and professionalism of Every. Single. Person. I dealt with from the instant I contacted the clinic until the day two weeks after my surgery when I received a copy of the letter Jim Norman sent to each of my doctors, explaining what he'd done and its ramifications on my health in the future.
Dr. Norman told me, "This surgery will change your life." When he said it, I didn't even realize how much my life needed to be changed. I'm just now starting to figure that out.
A Sky Full of Stars: Hyperparathyroidism versus the Writer
On Saturday, something happened as a result of the parathyroidectomy that was totally unexpected.
My spontaneous story ideas came back.
I hadn't even noticed they were gone.
I've been working hard for the past couple of years trying to get the site fixed, I've been under a lot of strain both physically and financially, and my processes for creating fiction without having an idea in mind actually work, and I really do use them, so I was still creating (the Longview stories were all written from those techniques).
I didn't think about the fact that I didn't have spontaneous story ideas anymore. Unlike most fiction writers, I'm not dependent upon random ideas for my work.
So I didn't notice when they disappeared.
But Saturday the mental clouds rolled away and suddenly things that I saw and heard and experienced began sending little pings to my right brain again, and my right brain began building them into little spontaneous stories and sending them across the corpus callosum to the left brain again.
And because it had been a long time since this had happened, it felt like suddenly seeing a sky full of stars.
So add as a symptom of hyperparathyroidism: Spontaneous story ideas disappear.
If you're a writer and your ideas have disappeared, consider getting your calcium and PTH levels checked. You might be able to get them back.
The Teenage Tumor and Me: My Mini-Parathyroid Surgery and the Norman Parathyroid Center
I'm back following a parathyroidectomy and a couple days recovery.
I'm tired, my neck is a bit swollen still and kind of sore, I'm bruised (I'm an easy bruiser, though).
And I am happily rid of one thumb-above-the-distal-joint-sized parathyroid tumor that was between twelve and fifteen years old when Drs. Norman, Boone, and Parrack removed it in a fifteen-ish minute outpatient operation that stopped it from sucking the life out of me. The picture above is clickable if you want to see the thing as close to life-sized as I could make it.
I'm still recovering, and still tired (that thing had been growing for a long time), but I'm putting this up now because this is a big damn deal.
I developed the tumor when I was in my early forties. They happen in people a lot younger. They're more common in people my age and twice as common in women.
- The fact that the one above was messing with me for perhaps fifteen years is probably part of why I have tongue dysplasia.
- Why I had bone pain in shoulders, elbows, spine, knees, and right heel.
- Why I had gastric reflux.
- Why I felt tired all the time.
- Why I couldn't sleep at night.
- Why my heart would often start racing for no apparent reason.
- Why my hair was thinning in the front.
- Why my blood calcium was sky high and my vitamin D was the lowest the OB/GYN who saw me had "ever seen in a live human being" — it was 4.
- It's almost certainly the cause of all the damn headaches, including the icepick migraines.
- It could have been the cause of both miscarriages.
- And maybe some other things.
I'll have to have my bone density tested in a couple weeks, but considering the screaming amount of calcium that tumor was pulling out of my bones, I'm not betting they're in great shape right now.
Why do I think this?
These are all things parathyroid tumors can do. And I already have early evidence that, with that damn thing removed, I'm recovering.
The bone pain went away within a couple hours of the surgery and hasn't been back, and the headaches went away after the last effects of the anesthesia wore off.
So I'm going to send you to the website that I found, which is where I also went to have the surgery done.
Go to the front page, watch the video, and even if nothing on the page applies to you now, remember the symptoms. This is something a BUNCH of doctors didn't catch, and it could have killed me.
Considering the dysplasia, I'm not out of the woods yet, but I intend to get there.
But you… make sure that you're the person who knows what to look for so you can help yourself, or someone you love. 'Cause…
Tiny, simple, FAST surgery.

When I started my search for a new crockpot, I considered all options, including high end ranges like All Clad and Breville. I'm MORE than thrilled that I went the route of this Crock-Pot. Yes, it isn't as "programmable" as some (it's options for cooking are ONLY low: 8 or 10 hours and high: 4 or 6 hours - it also has a WARM setting).
For my very first use, I decided that I would try it on a Saturday, when I could monitor how the slow cooker actually cooked the food. I didn't really want to leave the house using an appliance for the first time. I noticed that it cooked the chicken very slowly. I was thrilled with the results. An 8 hour recipe really did take 8 hours, which was SO unlike my other slow cooker! It really does cook on low - barely a simmer - which is exactly how a slow cooker should be! After the cook time is up, it automatically switches to the WARM feature, and remains on WARM for up to 6 hours (which is a nice safety feature in case you forget to turn off the pot).
Clean up is a breeze! The insert is dishwasher safe, and the brushed stainless steel wipes up perfectly. It is a very large appliance, so be sure you have the counterspace or the storage space for it!Read more ›
I was slightly hesitant to buy one after reading so many negative reviews from others.
I removed the crock from the box, washed the stone pot with soap and warm water, and tossed in the ingredients for a white chili. 6 hours later it was perfect. The temperature settings on this one are much better than our old one. On our old one "low" meant "slightly rolling boil after 3 hours" and "high" meant "tastes like burning" (Thanks Ralph Wiggums!) if you didn't watch the pot.
This one is great, "low" is really "low" and "high" is not going to ruin the meal. Plus, it will switch to "keep warm" automatically so it doesn't overcook something.
There were no unusual smells from the unit (other than typical "first time use" smells from an appliance) and the gasket worked just fine.
We cook 1-2 meals a week in cold weather with our crock, so its getting a workout.
We definitely think it was worth the money.
Here's why:
The plastic from the bottom of the crock pot started to melt. My husband and I could smell a burning electrical smell a few hours into cooking our meal. We unplugged the crock pot devise and noticed that the plastic at the bottom had onto our counter top (under the crock pot, where it was sitting). When my husband flipped the holder over, he noticed an area were some plastic pieces had melted together.
We ended up taking the crock pot back to the store and bought a different brand, as we didn't experience a very pleasant response from the company. Too me, if they had responded differently my rating and review would be much different than the one that I am currently providing. It's not the best way to do customer service when one of your products almost started an electrical fire. Sometimes looks aren't everything, and thankfully we were home as God only knows what could of happened if we didn't catch the burning plastic in time.

The National Interest
July 17, 2013
By: Ian Wallace
Following a recent speech, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey dismissed concerns about the U.S. militarization of cyberspace. "We have a Navy, but we are not being accused of militarizing the ocean," he said. As the world reflects on and responds to the actions of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, and as the investigation of possible leaks by former Joint Chiefs vice chairman General James Cartwright unfolds, it is difficult to avoid wondering if General Dempsey's answer is the best the administration can muster. An increasing number of adversaries and even allies are coming to believe that the United States is militarizing cyberspace—and that impression of hubris and irresponsibility is beginning to have a real-world impact.
So what needs to be done? New thinking is required, in at least three ways: First, the administration needs to acknowledge that this is a problem. Second, a more holistic approach is required when making national-security decisions that affect the internet. Third, the government needs to learn to respond to these types of leaks in a way that does not make the situation worse.

NUTRITION INFORMATION (Introduction) Title: Wind -a breath of heart- Genre: Ren'ai adventure Rating: Adult Only (Keep out of sight of children and parents) (Windows); ? (Dreamcast) Players: 1 OS: Japanese Windows 98/Me/2000/XP; Dreamcast Maker: minori (Windows); Alchemist (Dreamcast) On Sale: Friday, 19 April 2002 (Windows); Thursday, 30 January 2003 (Dreamcast) [Ramble ON] Revision history of this file: Version 0.5 (Limited Edition) [11 KB]: Friday, 6 December 2002 Version 1.0 [13 KB, +19%]: Sunday, 15 December 2002 Version 1.5 [22 KB, +70%]: Monday, 3 February 2003 Version 2.0 [24 KB, +10%]: Sunday, 4 July 2004 Version 2.1 [24 KB, +0%]: Saturday, 17 July 2004 "Le noir, ce mot designe depuis une epoque lointaine le nom du destin. "Les deux vierges regnent sur la mort. "Les mains noires protegent la paix des nouveaux-nes." - NOIR (TV: 2001) [Ramble OFF] <!-- 2.1 1ST IMPRESSION Wind -a breath of heart- for Windows, by minori, came out on 2002.04.19. minori also made Bittersweet Fools for Windows, which I didn't play, because it wasn't voiced. The producer of Wind, Sakai "nbkz" Nobukazu, is reportedly the Accent seiyuu Okada "Okajun" Junko's husband. (OTOH, in Bittersweet Fools for DC and PS2, Okajun voices the minor heroine Solino.) Wind is on two CDs. On disc 1 are two AVI files of the OP movies of the game. Disc 2 doesn't seem to have any omake stuph. Disc 1 installs the game, and disc 2 runs the game. The player can't choose the install size. The game squats on 421 MB. If the player further installs the voices from disc 2, the game then squats on 765 MB. But when the player doesn't install the voices from disc 2, and disc 2 is in the CD-ROM drive, the game will still have voices. The game has IMO a MTV or OVA style OP movie that has images, but not necessarily screen shots, from the game. *SPOILER ALERT* The main menu has these options: New Game, Load Game, Album, Memories, Music, and Opening Movie. - New Game. Duh. - Load Game. The game has 255 save game slots. Each save game slot has a thumbnail screen shot, and the player can add a comment about 40 English letters long. Each slot has a real-time date and time, not the game-time date and time. - Album. 13 pages of event CG. 12 pages with 12 slots, and a 13th page with seven slots. - Memories. One page with six slots. - Music. 17 tracks of BGM to replay. - Opening Movie. Duh. The game is practically full voice. The protagonist isn't voiced, but some miscellaneous male chara, such as the train driver, are voiced. The player can toggle on and off the main chara's voices. I understandably toggled off the protagonist's male classmate Tachibana Tsutomu's voice. Besides voices and BGM, the game has ambient sound effects. For example, in the first scene, the protagonist and his sis were in a train. The game continually plays the sound effect of the train rumbling on the tracks. The player can adjust the properties of the message window, such as font, text speed, and transparency. Some background illusts are mildly painted background photos, such as the inside of a tram (street car) and a school corridor. In a scene, up to three chara's portraits can be simultaneously on-screen. 2.2 2ND IMPRESSION Later (Sunday, 2004.07.04): For quick reference, here is a table of the heroines' attributes, sorted in order of... one of the attributes. Name Tall B W H Blood Birth FUJIMIYA Wakaba 152 88 61 89 B JUN04 SHIKOUIN Kasumi 160 85 57 84 AB NOV26 FUJIMIYA Nozomi 163 84 59 84 A APR03 NARUKAZE Minamo 158 82 58 85 O JUL21 OKANO Hinata 153 79 57 81 B JUN04 TSUKISHIRO Hikari 146 74 55 76 ? ? Later (2002.12.03): In the Album, similar CG are saved in different slots. Some of the oversized CG can be panned. In other gal games, when several CG show a heroine in the same pose, but her face has different expressions, these similar CG are frequently saved/stacked in the same slot. When the player clicks that slot, the game cycles through the several CG. *SPOILER ALERT* Later (2002.12.04): IMO, the programmers are miserly WRT event CG. For example, on April 10, when Nozomi practised with some Kendou club members, the game has no event CG. No Samurai Girl -Real Bout High School- style panchira event CG. (-_-#) I hope the programmers compensate this lack of quantity with lots of quality. Wind is IMO a visual novel, instead of an action-packed interactive adventure, with more emphasis on the "novel" part than on the "visual" part. (_ _;) Next time, I should play a yaruge- with 99% Ecchi CG, where the excitement never stops. The protagonist frequently abuses/chops his sis. (-_-;) I don't recognise the buildings in the background illusts, but the trams remind me of... Hiroshima, Kagoshima, and Nagoya. Later (2002.12.15): While I was playing this game, IMO it has these good points: - Almost photo-based background illusts. - Full voice. OTOH, IMO it has these bad points: - Can't change the protagonist's name. - Not all heroines have endings. For example, Kasumi has no ending. - Not enough non-Ecchi event CG. For example, the game has no CG when the protagonist chats with Minamo's father about the protagonist's mother, or when Nozomi fights. Instead, the game displays a CG of the sky: day or night, clear or cloudy. IMO, the game should have some fan service CG for events that involve one or more heroines. FYI, in Ecchi games, I dislike anal/kanchou/scatolo, android/cyborg, bandage, bestiality/kemono (maybe except Kitsunemimi and Nekomimi), bondage/chain/collar, boys love/gay/homo/yaoi/801, bukkake/orgy, Burikko, byoujaku, choukyou/slave, chuuko/widow (miboujin)/wife (hitoduma), futanari/kaizou, gakuenmono, gigolo, girls love/les/yuri, grotesque, kichiku/SM, kinshin/mother/nikushin, kyonyuu, Lolicom/petit/puny, Mah Jong, maid, ninshin (pregnant), nun, nurse, okama (maybe except the Hokuto no Ken type), school mizugi, Shouta, slender, slime, tentacles, and Undead/zombies.

SOLUTION In 1st Play, I'll primarily aim for Fujimiya Nozomi's ending, and not get distracted by the other heroines. OTOH, if you volunteer to write the solutions for the other heroines, e-mail me! *SPOILER ALERT* Before the player reaches the first multiple choice node, the protagonist Okano Makoto meets these heroines: - Okano Hinata, in a train, at home, in a tram, et al. After all, she's the protagonist's sister. Short red hair with white headband. - Shikouin Kasumi, at school. She's the protagonist's classmate. Meganekko with long straight black hair. - Fujimiya Nozomi, at her famires, "one day". Famires waitress and Kendou expert. Long blond hair in ponytail. - Fujimiya Wakaba, at one day. She's Nozomi's sister and a piano player. Meganekko with short green hair. - Tsukishiro Hikari, between one day and the school. Short grey hair. - Narukaze Minamo, on the roof of the school. Harmonica player and osanajimi. Long dark blue hair in twin tails. BTW, the player can't change the protagonist's name. After the protagonist meets Minamo, the game plays the OP movie. Later (2002.12.09): Reportedly, the course to the Fujimiya sisters' endings are the same, and whether the player clears Nozomi or Wakaba's ending only depends on the player's choice at the final node. So I'll probably clear both sisters' endings. Also, reportedly, the player's choices at the nodes in the first half of the game don't matter. When the player plans to clear other heroines' endings, the player can save game on August 7, and replay the game from there. 4.1 THE ADVENTURE BEGINS APRIL 10 First node: 1-11. ahouna koto ha yamete, Hinata wo okosu. (Wake Hinata.) 1-12. koko ha yappari, 10 kai [juukai] tsutsun shite miru. (Harass Hinata.) 1-11 leads to 1-31 to 1-33. 1-12 leads to 1-21 to 1-22. Neither choice leads to any CG. In 1st Play, as I was aiming for Nozomi's ending, neither choice matters, and I chose 1-12. Second node, from 1-12: 1-21. iikagen ni ahouna koto ha yamete, Hinata wo okosu. (Wake Hinata.) 1-22. koko ha yappari, 16 rensha [juuroku rensha] ni chousen. (Harass Hinata.) Both choices lead to 1-31 to 1-33. Neither choice leads to any CG. In 1st Play, as I was aiming for Nozomi's ending, neither choice matters, and I chose 1-22. Afterwards, the protagonist and his sis went to Minamo's home. The player learns more about the protagonist's parents, and that he's a milk mania. BTW, Kasumi's correct. Instead of going back to the school and meeting two of the heroines, the protagonist could've borrowed and photocopied her English textbook. Second node, from 1-11: 1-31. Gyouza. 1-32. Yakuza. 1-33. Piza. All choices are incorrect and lead to the same result. For simplicity, I chose 1-31. APRIL 11 No event CG or multiple choice node. (-_-;) The protagonist learns Wakaba is a healer. APRIL 12 One Minamo non-Ecchi CG. No node. APRIL 13 The protagonist's birthday. (_ _) Zzz One non-Ecchi CG and no node. The protagonist, his sis, Kasumi, and Tsutomu go to Hikari's antique/occult shop, to retrieve Kasumi's glasses. Then, they go to one day. The protagonist's face is clearly visible in the photo (event CG) they took in one day. APRIL 14 No event CG or multiple choice node. The protagonist and his sis go to Minamo's home and meet her father, who looks IMO relatively young. APRIL 15 (BTW, in 1st Play, by now, I'm becoming interested in Kasumi... but she doesn't have an ending. (X_X) At the least not in the Windows version.) Five Minamo non-Ecchi CG and no node. The protagonist learns Minamo can't cook for her life. "omae, ryouri wo motto benkyou shiro." - Makoto to Minamo The protagonist also brings home the Chu- Chu- thingy. APRIL 16 No event CG or multiple choice node. Near one day, a nameless and faceless male member of the Kendou club ambushes Nozomi and the protagonist, and the protagonist is useless. In other words, the protagonist is combat ineffective. (-_-#) During the event, Nozomi is weakened. Fortunately, at one day, Wakaba is a healer. APRIL 17 No event CG or multiple choice node. APRIL 19 First node: 2-11. nayamigoto ga aru noka kiitemiru. 2-12. koko ha damatteiyou. 2-12 leads to 2-21 to 2-22. If the player is aiming for Minamo, choose 2-11. If the player isn't aiming for Minamo, choose 2-12. I chose 2-12. Second node, from 2-12: 2-21. Wakaba ni koe wo kakeru. 2-22. koe wo kakenai. The protagonist meets Wakaba in a park. If the player is aiming for Nozomi or Wakaba, choose 2-21. If the player isn't aiming for Nozomi or Wakaba, and is aiming for Hikari or Hinata, choose 2-12. I chose 2-21. One Wakaba non-Ecchi CG. The protagonist learns Wakaba's power to heal wounds doesn't magically remove damage from the wound. Instead, her power just accelerates the natural healing rate of the wounded person. It's ineffective on diseases and conditions that the wounded person can't naturally heal or cure, but is effective on trees. (In FRPG terms, Wakaba's a Druid, Miko, Priest, or Shaman.) Later, the protagonist learns the master of one day is married with eight children. During Golden Week, the master and family will take a hike, and Nozomi recruits the protagonist to help her and Wakaba run one day. MAY 5 No event CG or multiple choice node. The protagonist helps Nozomi and Wakaba run one day. Wakaba gets sekuhara by a customer, and expectedly the protagonist watches and does nothing else. MAY 14 First node: 3-11. Hinata tachi to TESUTO [test] benkyou suru. (Agree to study test with Hinata, Nozomi, and Wakaba.) 3-12. Kangaete oku. (Think, but not immedidately disagree.) Though I'm aiming for the Fujimiya sisters, I chose 3-12 anyway. Kasumi, Minamo, Tsutomu, and the protagonist decide to study together at Minamo's home. MAY 19 One group non-Ecchi CG. Kasumi, Minamo, Tsutomu, and the protagonist study together at Minamo's home. Later, the protagonist learns when Kasumi's not wearing her glasses, she's a telepath. (The programmers must have been watching or reading X-Men again.) MAY 20 No event CG or multiple choice node. MAY 30 The player learns June 4 is Hinata and Wakaba's birthday. (I thought June 4 is the 1989 Tian An Men Square "incident"...) First node: 4-11. issho ni tanjoubikai wo yarou. (Do a joint birthday party.) 4-12. damatte oku. (Say nothing.) As I'm aiming for the Fujimiya sisters, I chose 4-11. JUNE 1 No event CG or multiple choice node. The protagonist should've bought the present that Nozomi first recommended, IMO. (haxahaxa.) Instead, he bought something spiky and small for both birthday girls. (-_-;) JUNE 4 One group non-Ecchi CG. The protagonist doesn't invite Minamo, Kasumi, or Hikari to the joint birthday party. The protagonist learns Nozomi's birthday is April 3, which AFAIK is out of range in the game. Later, Minamo tractor-beams the protagonist to watch a movie with her on the coming Sunday. JUNE 9 Two Minamo non-Ecchi CG. She changes her hair style. Minamo and the protagonist watch a sci-fi romance movie. He learns she's a takoyaki mania. (-_-;) JUNE 21 No event CG or multiple choice node. The protagonist and Wakaba agree to watch Nozomi's Kendou Taikai (Kendou competition) on the coming Sunday. (JUNE 23) Kendou Taikai. One Nozomi and Wakaba non-Ecchi CG, after the Kendou Taikai. JUNE 26 No event CG or multiple choice node. The protagonist finds an abandoned pussy cat, and Hikari keeps it. At home, he gambles with Hinata about who's the murderer in a TV programme, and he wins. (JUNE 27) No event CG or multiple choice node. The player learns Hinata and Minamo's father are Espers too, but the protagonist doesn't know what's his own power. Later, Minamo and the protagonist meet Hikari, and learn Hikari has named her, eh, cat "Forte" (katakana: Forute). JUNE 28 Tai'ikusai (sports festival). One group non-Ecchi CG. Minamo's cooking skill has evidently improved. Wakaba first meets Minamo's father. First node: 5-11. musabetsu 400 m sou ni shutsujou. (400 m run.) 5-12. karimono kyousou wo miru. (Things-borrowing competition.) 5-13. tsunahiki ni deru. (Tug of war.) 5-14. burabura to KURAUNDO [ground] wo urotsuku. (Wander about the ground.) Most players chose 5-13 to get one Kasumi non-Ecchi CG. JULY 1 First node: 6-11. kono mama hiku. 6-12. Hinata no hanashi wo kiridasu. (Include Wakaba, Nozomi, and Hinata.) Players aiming for Minamo and Hikari chose 6-11. Players aiming for Wakaba, Nozomi, and Hinata chose 6-12. I chose 6-12. JULY 7 No event CG or multiple choice node. Wakaba and Minamo come to the protagonist's home to study with him and Hinata, then play a Piyo Piyo Game, then play a card game. When they leave, they become trapped in the elevator. Minamo's power as a wind elementalor is ineffective. JULY 8 No event CG or multiple choice node. Tests. JULY 20 Hinata and her friends take a hike and go to an onsen (hot spring). First node: 7-11. MESHI wo jibun de tsukuru. (The protagonist eats (a meal cooked by) himself.) 7-12. MESHI ha soto de kuu. (The protagonist goes outside and hunts for food.) Players aiming for Minamo, Hinata, and Hikari chose 7-11. Players aiming for Wakaba and Nozomi chose 7-12. I chose 7-12. The protagonist actually goes to one day. Later, near one day, a nameless and faceless Oyaji ambushes Wakaba and the protagonist. The protagonist is almost KO, then berserks like the Shogouki (EVA-01 Evangelion Test Type). One Wakaba non-Ecchi CG. (-_-#) The stalker's power is stealth/silence. JULY 21 First node: 8-11. okiru. (Wake up.) 8-12. iya, mada neru. (Sleep.) Players aiming for Minamo chose 8-11. Players not aiming for Minamo chose 8-12. I chose 8-11. The protagonist learns his power is (possibly) to synchro with another animal and perhaps another person. For example, he possesses Chu-chu-, that is, enters and controls Chu-chu-'s body. He also learns Hinata's friend Mayumi's power is to camouflage items, that is, to make an item or animal on or near her appear as something else. He also speaks with a woman or girl whose power is to morph into a dog. (JULY 22) Three Hinata non-Ecchi CG. JULY 29 One group non-Ecchi CG, and one Hinata non-Ecchi CG. The main chara go to a beach, play beach volley (DOAX), and play watermelon-bashing. When they are bashing the watermelon, they learn Nozomi's power is to make ranged killing attacks with a sword or sword-like item. When Hinata's jumping and rolling like a dolphin, she almost drowns. (By now in 1st Play, I think after I clear Wakaba and Nozomi's endings, I'll reload and clear Hikari's ending.) First node: 9-11. Minamo ni koe wo kakeru. 9-12. Hinata ni koe wo kakeru. 9-13. Hikari ni koe wo kakeru. 9-14. umi demo nagameteru ka. 9-11 to 9-13 are self-explanatory. 9-14 is for protagonists aiming for Wakaba and Nozomi. I chose 9-14. <TO BE CONTINUED> __ Don "Tsuru Hiromi Inochi" Chan (Aho) http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/146.html http://www.cheathappens.com/show_user.asp?userID=80 *1 "Sakuretsu!" <END OF FILE> The information in this e-mail is intended solely for the addressee(s) named, and is confidential.

The Barkhausen noise power spectrum was investigated on laminated polycrystalline toroids of Fe and 4% SiFe as a function of sample thickness; that is, of surface-to-volume ratio. Upon decreasing the thickness strong variations of spectrum shape are observed-the cut-off frequency increases and the spectral density drops in the very-low-frequency range. On the other hand, only negligible variations of static magnetic properties are observed. According to a recent theory, the results are explained assuming that a change of thickness directly affects the number of elementary pulses clustering into a large Barkhausen discontinuity. The calculated variations of the spectrum intensity and cut-off frequency are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Historical Traveler Reviews Clarion Suites Lisbon
Nice and clean
We had booked 2 studios at Clarion suites, one for my parents and one for my husband and I, and upon arrival the hotel kindly offered us to stay all four of us in a penthouse suite. We dicided however to stay in seperate studios for more privacy, but I really appreciated the offer from the hotel.
The studio was nice and big, and since the temperature went up to 35 C the aircondition was a blessing. There was a small kitchenette and the possibility to make coffee, so we decided to skip the hotel breakfast, which cost 9 euros. The fridge was big, and there was a supermarket close by, so we stocked up with drinks and saved a bunch of money that way.
The location of the hotel is great, with about 20 min walk to Pra�a dos Restauradores, and 5 min to the nearest metro. The department store El Corte Ingles, is about 10 min walk away.
I found the hotel to be very neat and clean, especially for big city/capital standarts.
The only thing we missed was some where to have a drink in the evening when coming back to the hotel after dinner.
Over-all a real good value for money, and we would stay here again.
Great hotel
We stayed in late May 2006. We booked a 'studio' and were pleasantly surprised to find our room had a separate bedroom and living area (very similar to traveller photos posted on site) and was massive compared to other hotels we've stayed in in Europe.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the pool is a great place to relax in on a hot Lisbon evening. The only downer was the breakfast which I think was overpriced at 9 euro - especially as the food was very slow at coming out. I'd suggest going to one of the nearby cafes which serve excellent coffee and meals instead. We booked on expedia and got one day for free making a 4 night stay at around 200euro, which was a bargain.
Overall, would highly recomend and we will be staying there again.
Real Value
We stayed in a 2-bedroom penthouse. All rooms including bathrooms (2) were large, well furnished and kitchenette was completely equiped except for a toaster.
My wife remarked how clean everything was.
The staff was very helpful with tourist-type questions and a problem with a shower was taken care of immediately.
Location is excellent and for less than US$200 per night we would return in an instant!
I cannot understand a negative review that I read. In my opinion it is excellent value.
Mixed Review.... So So
Stayed at the Clarion for 2 weeks in Spring of 2006. We had the 2 bedroom suite, which was great layout: 2 bedrooms with ample closet space; 3 televisions; adequate kitchen. Lots of storage, which since we were in transit for a move was much appreciated. Desk Staff was not engaged; barely looked up when we came in or out, and had no idea how to book restaurants, transportation, etc. They were nice enough (not rude), but just seemed to be in the ''why are you asking me questions'' zone. Rooms were spacious, yet tired in terms of furniture and decor. Location was good enough; close to 2 metro lines so you could get anywhere you needed to go. Negotiate for room price and get a 10 to 15 per cent discount.
Comfortable suites in a fairly convenient location
Good points:
Helpful multi-lingual staff
Very nice suites with TVs, refurbished kitchen area and spacious bathroom
Well placed for enormous local upmarket Amoreiras Shopping Centre and Metro
Secure on site parking at around 10euros per day
Bad points:
As a 'suite' hotel, no room service or restaurant (does have a coffee shop/cafe)
Not the most central location for main attractions
Picked up an excellent deal on a suite thru expedia as decided to spend a night up in Lisbon during a holiday based down in the Algarve region. (about 3 hours drive)
Highly recommend the waterfront area developed for Expo98. The Oceanario de Lisboa is great for the kids and the Cable Car ride is fun too.
Large apartments, great value
I have just come back from a long weekend in Lisbon. We stayed in the Clarion Suites and we were really impressed with the hotel. The apartments are big, with a large bedroom and a large lounge (TV in both). The kitchen is small but good enough if you just want to prepare breakfast and snacks. It is about a twenty minute stroll into the centre of Lisbon and the Barrio Alto area is even closer. We got a fantastic deal on the internet and it was great value for money.
Helpful and convenient
We stayed for the Easter weekend in 2005. The hotel was a little dated decor-wise but clean and very spacious. You get the feeling that you're living in a private flat. Basically you get a large bedroom, ensuite bathroom, plus a separate living room/diner with kitchenette with some crockery. I'd say it'd be great for families because the sofa is a sofabed and both rooms had satellite TV so the kids won't need to fight over the channels!. Plus, as a family you could eat in occassionally instead of dining out all the time which could help save some money. There was a pool but it was closed because it wasn't warm enough outside. They have air-con which worked fine for heating as well as cooling the room and thick blackout curtains for a decent night's sleep! The road it is on is very quiet and the underground stop at Marquis Pombal is a 5 minute walk away. You can also very easily take the bus directly to the Torre de Belen which takes about 20-25 mins. You can take breakfast in the hotel, or there is a small cafe on the way to the underground where it's cheaper to get a nice continental breakfast.
We did book a double room online but were given a twin and although they were willing to transfer us to a double the following day, we forgot to remind them and the double-bed room had gone by the time we did. Nevertheless, without hesitation, they sent a man up straight away to remove the bedside table that was fixed to the wall between the two twin beds, pushed them together and we were happy with that.
I was worried because I had booked the hotel online first then checked on TripAdvisor and saw the two bad reviews. I was dreading the worse, but was very pleasantly surprised and wanted to let others know our positive experience.
Excellent, peaceful hotel in residential neighbourhood.
We stayed at the Clarion suites for 3 nights this Easter. It is situated in a residential neighbourhood, near Marques de Pombal square, 15 minutes from a subway station. We paid 428 GBpounds for 2 return flights, parking at the airport and hotel accommodation so we cannot really state the hotel price.
We are surprised at the previous bad reviews as we considered it an excellent hotel with good maid service. We stayed in a studio with a spacious living-room with tv, sofas, table & chairs and balcony, ample reception area, kitchenette (micro-wave oven, sink, fridge, hob, kitchen utensils), bathroom and bedroom with balcony and tv set. The studio was clean and the maid washed our dishes/pans every day. There is a swimming pool on the ground floor which we didn't use as the weather was not good enough. There is also free wi-fi area for internet users in every floor near the lift.
We would only say the single beds are a bit too small (the Portuguese are short!) and that the air conditioning/heating system was a tad weak.
Value for money - This was not.
Spent 1 night, in a suite, at this hotel during Eoro2004. The rate was �385. We had booked in advance, so cannot complain about the price. However, The room smelt badly of stale smoke, when we asked for advice on getting the shower to work were told " pull harder. It was made for strong people". I wondered how elderly, or disabled guests would manage. When the shower did come on, it was ill-fitted and leaked all over the bathroom floor. The accomodation was a good size, but in no way worth the rate charged, particularly as breakfast was not included and a 25 ml bottle of water was 2 Euro. Certainly one to avoid in the future.
Not a four stars service
I spent two nights in this hotel last March, 2003. I reported the first day that the tv remote control was not working. Well, I left the hotel after three days and nobody fixed it. Not a good service.

Rhett Smith Podcast: Parenting in the Easy Access, Technological World of Pornography and Sex -- with Author Anne Marie Miller
- on July 11, 2016
- I first heard of Anne Marie Miller when she was actually Anne Jackson, and she was blogging under the name Flowerdust. This was probably around 2006/2007 or so (maybe earlier), and she had a very popular blog that talked a lot about ministry, leadership, and other faith related topics. What was different about her was her level of authenticity and vulnerability in her posts...and she was a woman w[...]

I realized that I was actually thinking of the work of Carol Dweck, but it wasn't actually her research I was referring to. Recently I've been thinking a lot about a certain topic in parenting. And the topic revolves around how often we as parents use the "I am the parent" card in various forms or fashions. Somet[...]

Hi, I have three different web applications installed and running in three different modes (e.g. test, training ) but basically based on the same code otherwise. In all of them I use a native c library to call shell commands. When I test one web app everything works fine. When I switch to another web application I eventually receive the following error: root cause java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library /home/oraedt/app/oracle/product/9iAS_18.104.22.168/lib/libIprShellInterface.so already loaded in another classloader at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1444) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1404) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:772) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:832) I installed the shared library libIprShellInterface.so into the databases lib directory which is included in the library path and where it is - normally - found. Does anyone know why I receive this error and how I can solve this problem? Thanks. Astrid

As revealed in Michigan Capitol Confidential last week, a state beer and wine distribution monopoly that successive Legislatures have protected for decades enriches a handful of families (the so-called "Millionaires Club") at the expense of consumers, taxpayers and small business microbrewers, whose ability to create jobs is also hurt. Over the years legislators have played partner to the distributors, collecting a share of their monopoly profits through steady streams of campaign cash and other benefits.
So perhaps members of the state House shouldn't be surprised if microbrewers don't feel overly grateful for a meaningless piece of puff they passed this week on a voice vote, a resolution declaring July 2011 as "Craft Beer Month" in Michigan. Ironically, while failing to revoke a distribution monopoly that restricts the brewers' growth prospects, the resolution commends them for "providing jobs, improving the balance of trade, supporting Michigan agriculture, and educating residents about the history and culture of beer while promoting the responsible consumption."
This flat brew was sponsored by Rep. Peter MacGregor, and cosponsored by Reps. Vicki Barnett, Hugh Crawford, Brandon Dillon, Ray Franz, Kurt Heise, Kenneth Horn, Jeff Irwin, Marty Knollenberg, Richard LeBlanc, Lisa Lyons, Greg MacMaster, Aric Nesbitt, Al Pscholka, Roy Schmidt, Wayne Schmidt, Dian Slavens, Maureen Stapleton and Ken Yonker.

Best bleach ever
Nice fresh fragrance. Gets everything very clean. Only need a small amount unlike the cheap bleaches. I always buy double when on offer as its great value for money.

Where's the Sunfresh Smell?
There's no scented smell at all from this bleach like you get from the Domestos Aqua Blast bleach. It works the same but has no scent which is disappointing
