Go Ahead, Host A Giant Sports Spectacular. But It Will Cost You
Wednesday welcomes the year's second global sports extravaganza, as the World Cup begins. Just a few months ago, we worried that terrorists would invade the Russian Olympics. Now we wait to see if riots will tarnish the Brazilian World Cup.
The organizations that run the two events are similar, in that they manage to get cities and countries the earth over to do their bidding at exorbitant costs. Both the International Olympic Committee and FIFA, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, are arrogant and pretty much operate above sensible guidelines that governments otherwise demand of organizations.
Without soccer as its calling card, the IOC must take the high road –– as in high and mighty. It self-righteously sells sport as spiritual. It's dumping its big tent on Rio in two years, so if the World Cup doesn't bring the nation to economic despair, the Olympics will.
Click on the audio link above to hear Deford's take on the issue.

I'm running two 1 TB Western Digital drives, and in Windows 7, the secondary one is slow to access. Windows Explorer shows a green progress bar at the top while it loads. Here's the weird part. It's VERY fast for any subdirectories. If I enter a large subdirectory, I can go into all the directories inside it very quickly, and files load quickly. But, if I navigate backwards to the root (I have it mounted as M:), there's a delay before it shows up again. I have Windows set to index the entire partition. There's currently about 200 GB used on the drive. Under the power settings, the hard disks are set to not turn off.
Any suggestions of what I can try?
Turning off indexing didn't seem to affect access speed.
I have defragged the drive, but it had very little fragmentation to begin with and didn't seem to affect anything.
I'm in the process of running the error-checking scan including scanning for bad sectors.
Second update:
No errors found on the drive and the behavior is still occurring.
Third update:
I did a full format on the drive after backing up my data. I just restored my data back to the drive, and this problem still exists. Any more suggestions?

|Reviews for Crystal Dreams
| Lady Knight of VT chapter 6 . 6/28/2015
I find myself laughing aloud quite often in this! I just finished Crystal Nightmare, which was a really great read, but it had a much more serious tone to it. I'm loving the extra details and back story that this one is giving! It's awesome how you can take the same storyline and give it to us again but make it so completely different that it's worth reading all over again! I've read some who have tried but just don't deliver...it ends up sounding too much like the first. Not yours!
| Soeder chapter 21 . 9/30/2014
I truely enjoyed your story you have a very varied vocalbury and a very gripping writhing style , i hope to read more of this paticular story soon and i will check out your other stories and hope that they are just as captivating :-)
| Megan Epperson chapter 21 . 10/13/2013
Oh please, do write more! I love this fanfic... it blows my mind!
| Mikaela chapter 21 . 9/26/2013
Love the story. Please update its 2013.
| Lozzarooni chapter 21 . 7/9/2013
I have to say that I'm enjoying this very much but I can't quite understand why you've split the story into three parts. Still, saying that I am just about to read part 2 and have part 3 queued up in my browser.
I'm wondering if all the men who are currently pursuing Sarah (with the exception of Garrett/Jareth and William) are men in their late 40's or 50's because they seem to use my dear quite a lot when they speak to her. I guess I'm just going to have to find out.
| annabelllee923 chapter 17 . 6/11/2013
I Love the last line of this chapter, very nice touch!
| LiteraryRomantic chapter 21 . 5/28/2013
This is an absolutely fabulous story and I can only say that it's tragic that you have abandoned it. The way the myths are both used in and a basis for the story make it a modern myth in its own right. I wish I could have seen how this plays out.
| Guest chapter 20 . 3/18/2013
I have a first edition of the Sikes British Goblin book...
| mizgardenia21 chapter 21 . 9/4/2012
I missed this one! I thought I had read all of your lovely stories but I'm definitely reading this one now and I can tell it's definitely up there in one of my favorites! I still adore The Possession-that is one of my absolute favorites! On to the next installment of Crystal Dreams!
| FeyFaerie chapter 21 . 8/29/2012
| Lianalin chapter 21 . 12/9/2011
I absolutely love your stories! Where do you find all your information? you just have so much back story that makes them so believable. i'm in awe!

this story is amazing! I really do wish you'd finish

Adam Savage walks through two spectacular examples of profound scientific discoveries that came from simple, creative methods anyone could have followed -- Eratosthenes' calculation of the Earth's circumference around 200 BC and Hippolyte Fizeau's measurement of the speed of light in 1849. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections in the classroom. (7:32)
TED Ed--The Secret Life of Plankton
New videography techniques have opened up the oceans' microscopic ecosystem, revealing it to be both mesmerizingly beautiful and astoundingly complex.

(6:02)
Tale of the Shepherd Planets
A quote from the movie: "Until recently, the search for planets beyond our solar system was a matter of calculating the odds and laying out theories of solar system formation. Circumstantial evidence began to trickle in, a color shift in a stars light as a planet tugged on it, or a dipping in its light as a planet passed in front." (04:50)
TED Ed--Evolution of Animals in a Big City (Animal Adaptation)
Using newts, coyotes, and mice, Jason Munshi-South shows how animals develop genetic differences in evolution, even within an urban city. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and would work well in conjunction with lesson/unit on animal adaptation. (5:16)

This review is from: NZXT Phantom 530 White ATX Full Tower Computer Case Includes 1 x 200mm Front, 1 x 140mm Rear 2 x USB 3.0 Fan Controller
Pros: It looks like a stormtrooper (Star wars, not the German ones)
Awesome looking case, with tons of room. Very easy to route all cables through the back, so they are sandwiched between the back end of the MOBO mounting plate and the back of the case, using the portholes makes for a very clean looking install,
Paired it with a few 140mm intake fans down low, and a couple 200mm exhaust fans up high and it moves a ton of air. Built in fan controller is handy, switch it to idle when Im just computing and crank it up for some gaming. Fan controller is built for 3pin fans but does leave enough clearance to fit 4 pins on the dongle
If my basement floods I could put it down there to help dry the floors
Cons: The top piece is really a struggle to get off, had to pull and push pins from inside the case, was afraid i was going to break it.
the side mounted fan (not included) can be tough to route the cables all the way around to the fan controller if you are trying to hide the cable (easily fixed by purchasing a extension fan cable, or buying a fan with a long cable in the first place)
My 7990 BARELY fit, there is a couple mm of clearance between it and the drive bays, and I had to remove the super sweet adjustable fan bracket (back mounting screw was inaccessable so I had to break it out)that lives right where a longer GFX card needs to go. (motherboard specific problem Im sure)
The back pci bay covers kept me from fully seating the 7990 as it needs a doublebay, I had to use tin snips to cut out one crossbeam.
None of these dock an egg, just passing on my exp to the next guy
This review is from: DELL Desktop PC i3647-769BK Celeron G1820 (2.7 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics Windows 8.1 (64Bit)
Pros: Bought 6 of these to replace point of sale computers that were running XP.
Packed well,
Smallish footprint to be able to tuck under counter or what have you.
Pre loaded with Win 8.1
Optical mouse and keyboard are of midrange quality
first boot up only took about 10 min to get all settings and Such set up.
Cons: Macaffe is preinstalled, along with some other borderline bloatware, didn't really take to long to remove it all
Other Thoughts: it's got a speedy chip, 4 gigs, and Win8 for just over $300
Its a no-brainer for a simple work pc
This review is from: XFX Radeon HD 6990 DirectX 11 HD-699A-ENF9 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card with Eyefinity
Pros: First Card I have paid more than $300.00 for. Very much worth it thus far. Bought this card specificly to run DCS A10-C and ARMA 2 Maxed. both games run butter smooth FULLY maxed out. Arma with 10k view distance and A10 fully cluttered and maxed, both with Track IR. Couldn't be happier with the card.
Metro 2033 Silky smooth fully maxed
Shogun total war Silky Smooth
Dragon age 2 and Mass effect 2 look great of course.
Cons: Card is Huge. Had a choice of taking a saw-zal to my case to fit it or buying a new case. Bought the new case and still had to remove the harddrive bays to make it fit. Check dimensions and check that your bays are removable before buying one. Nothing worse than getting the card and it not fitting!
Fan is loud. I dont hear it at idle or when surfing/photoshopping. I wear 7.1 headphones when gaming so It does not bother me. If noise is a concern however, It is loud
Other Thoughts: Absolutely stoked with the card, hoping to get the same kind of performance out of BF3 and Skyrim.
Oddly enough this card would not work in my system when it first arrived.
it was an asus M3N72-D mobo just updated to latest bios
AMD phenom 9950
8 gigs ddr2 ram
1100 w supply
nop matter what I tired i could not get it to post. RMA'd card tested out and sent back, still no luck. I gave up and upgraded to an intel mobo, an i5, and ddr3 ram and It fired up in mere seconds. not sure what the culprit was as xfx said my mobo was on the supported list.... No fault of the card though.

2016 is around the corner. Less than 24 hours away. The last time I felt the need to pay tribute to a year going by was 2 years back so you can Imagine how 2014 and most of 2015 went for me. But as I wrap up this year I am all charged up and restless and all that in a good way :)
This post is less of a tribute to 2015 but more of an 'Ushering in a New year' wishlist.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Now Susan Rice comes on the Sunday talk shows with this narrative of it was brought on my Muslims being offended by a you tube video that they say offended Islam. None of that is true but now Hillary says this same things as does Obama and they carried it on for weeks all of it was a lie!

MARIANNA, Fla. (AP) - A Florida middle school teacher has been suspended after students said he used a racial epithet directed at
presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Seventh-grade social studies teacher Greg Howard reportedly wrote the word CHANGE as an acronym on the board and wrote an expletive with the letter 'N.'
The phrase he wrote has alternately be reported as "Can You Help A (expletive) Get Elected" and "Come Help A (expletive) Get Elected."
The incident happened last Friday at Marianna Middle School.
The Jackson County School Board said today that Howard has been
suspended without pay for 10 days and will be transferred to the
Jackson County Adult Education program. He is also required to
submit a letter of apology to his students and attend diversity and
sensitivity training.
Marianna is near Florida's border both with Alabama and Georgia.

Due to a problem I outlined here, I messed around with the media settings.
I found out that if you turn off the "organize into year/month" option and use a custom directory, upload some images, then revert everything to default (organize into year/month, wp-content/uploads) the media screen will file that those images are stored directly into the wp-content/uploads directory, where in fact they remain in the previous custom folders. Even the thumbnails wouldn't appear, as it looks inside an empty folder.
Is it meant to be like that or is it a bug?

Balloons cause power outage in downtown Houma
Published: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 5:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 5:01 p.m.
HOUMA – Balloons tangled in an electrical substation caused much of downtown Houma to lose power this afternoon.
The balloons floated into the substation on Belanger Street, leading to a power outage at about 4 p.m., said Tom Bourg, parish utilities director. A section of downtown from Dunn Street toward Lafayette Street and Honduras Street toward Bayou Terrebonne lost power.
Traffic signals turned off and drivers used most intersections as four-way stops.
A group of balloons apparently floated into the substation and became stuck, leading to the outage, Bourg said. Power was out for about 10 minutes.
"It was just a matter of finding the problem, removing the balloons and turning it back on," he said.

But this show acts like the Whorange douchebag is innocent in all this and that Nicole is the only one who was wrong and that definitely was NOT the case at all. That's my huge pet peeve.

It's been grueling these past elimination weeks as top picks and sellable acts have been getting the boot time after time as Idol seems to control every aspect of our lives and our votes (well, not mine: I'm canadian, but you get what I'm saying). We've been deconstructing judges motivation, exposing panning shots and ridiculous production and styling choices, and most importantly the fine print at the end of each episode that gives us a big middle finger and declares: "We [Nigel Lythgoe and his flying monkey minions] are gonna pick whomever the frig we feel like, so suck it… and keep buying coca cola." Still, we stay tuned to see the talent. Not to watch the dumb light show in the background or pay ANY attention to the extreme and outrageous claims of "perfect and unparalleled performances" by the judging panel, but to hear that one-off amazing song that keeps us interested and wanting to root for our favourites.
Tonight we get the musical stylings of past runner up Adam Lambert who felt the sting of Idol manipulation and lost to a WGWG ("white guy with guitar": an expression I learned from you all commenting on my articles, thank you!) who couldn't sell himself out of a paper bag. Tonight the out and proud man-diva will be performing "Never Close Our Eyes", on top of which we'll get the "singing stylings" or Lisa Marie Presley (seriously… why?). Like matching "Songs of the 60s" with "Songs from Today" Idol once again misses the mark and I shake my head in wonder at how this show still survives. You heard me rant that Joshua Ledet just didn't have it last night despite the rantings of his biggest fan Randy, that Jessica Sanchez is getting back on her game and should win but not exactly with a perfect 10 score and that Phil Phillips though with an amazing night isn't exactly what I would call America's IDOL… all in all, this year isn't knocking me over and I only hope next week we get something stellar or I might have to officially check out. Let's see who's going home tonight!
Click through to see my review of the night and see who gets sent home
Well, we're nearly there boys and girls. We experienced some highs and a helluva lot of lows together these past months as we strained to understand song choices, deconstructed producer machinations and collaborated on some elaborate and probably scarily accurate conspiracy theories of judging and vote-counting falsities… and now we're down to the final three! We've got the early favourite and soon to be gay icon beauty: Jessica Sanchez and her impossibly strong voice. There's soulful and always pitch-perfect Joshua Ledet who receives perfect reactions from the judges week in and out. And, the sexy and scratchy easy sounds of Phillip Phillips, the man so nice they named him twice. While there's plenty bitching I can do about their equally balanced negative sides, I'm opting to focus on the good (in this paragraph at least) as we get into these final two days/episodes of singing and declare a winner and a new American Idol.
Tonight, the kids will be singing three songs each: mentor, Jimmy Iovine's choice, the judges' choice and the contestants choice themselves. I'm very much always into this week of songs as typically all three are current and nearly always match up extremely well with the type of song we'd like to hear from em'. Followers of my articles know that Phil has been my crush for a while now but I've never truly seen him as the man to beat on this show: yes he has the votes there's no doubt about that but selling power? I think he might go the way of Kris Allen and his cute face/zero CD sales. Further, I think Josh is in the same boat with amazing talent but no real mass appeal to those who still pay for songs in the US these days. Honestly, I think Skylar Laine who got booted a couple weeks ago is their best chance at $$$ this year with her strong southern base where torrents and the like are about as foreign to them as automatic transmissions, but there's no going back. All in all, I believe it will/should be a Jessica win with her tumultuous near sending home, resultant save and stunning on stage performances. I've hated- HATED- the judging this year and wasn't exactly heart-broken when I heard rumours that Jennifer Lopez might not be returning for another season. I think the show is past her
boytoy's boyfriend's bedtime and he's been getting cranky waiting for her to get home from taping.
Click through to see the performances and read my review of the night!
Last night saw a lame-ass first round followed by a pretty killer second time up to bat as the now-four remaining
puppets contestants sang for Nigel Lythgoe's pleasure doing first songs of California (seriously? did Schwarzenegger think that would help with the energy crisis and call in a favour?) and then "I wish I wrote it" pieces. We saw what I would argue was the best performance Phil's given, Josh's top 3 for sure, a great rendition by Jessica and a robotic, lack-luster song from soon-to-be-sent-packing Hollie.
I don't want to jinx tonight's results too much by declaring the poorly styled blond as the official loser as my predictions have been well off in the past but so far the comments on yesterday's review seem to support the thought that the Top 3 really do deserve to be: Phil Phillips, Joshua Ledet and Jessica Sanchez. We get to see some very sweet (even cynical me can't deny how amazing it would be to be raised to the level of "hero" and icon in one's own city) hometown visits for the remaining singers. Often coming from smaller places, it's pretty adorable to see how this show can bring together a group of people who cheer for the "home team" and likely run their phone bills up voting for these kids. But, what we care about it RESULTS, so let's click through!

We're back! With little to no dumb banter, Seacrest jumps almost right into the singing and so will I: Songs about/from California and Songs the contestants wish they wrote themselves. I'm rolling my eyes as the semi stupidity as these themes get longer and weirder but hey: I'm just happy no one needs to find out what songs were "hip" in the 50s to pick something out for this evening. That said, we find out tonight is also the "let's reflect on their road here" evening as Idol fills those full two hours basically with nothing we haven't seen before. I consider tonight to be like that penultimate episode before all dramas finales where they recap the greatest moments and add about 5 minutes of new material- in this case the singing- to squeeze a whole nother episode to make advertisement agencies happy.
My cynicism aside, today seems like it might be a reasonable one: we get current songs and the kids get to pick basically anything they want so I'm hoping a few of the brain-using singers show us something new and unique. Last week's screen death of Skylar Laine left me blown away and particularly devastated tonight as I just know that she would have picked something awesome to offer us. So, it comes down to the two remaining kids I can stand: Phil Phils and Jessica Sanchez to prove there's still relevant talent left in this pool as Hollie Cavanagh and Joshua Ledet tread water in the shallow end and wear awful clothes doing it: let's get to it!
Click through to see the performances and read my review of the night!
Last night was British Hits and Songs From the 60s: I was barely amused. Thankfully the brit picks were for the most part quite recent while the mid-century (literally, Nigel, you're having them sing MID CENTURY SONGS) tunes were meh. More often than not, the responsibility to update and modernize these songs falls on the shoulders of the kids as they attempt not just individualize their performance but also rise above the terrible theme choices being made by our aged producers avoiding forced retirement. That said, the night was pretty good.
Oh and while I say "good", Lopez would have you believe "greatest thing in the entire history of things ever" as she ridiculously threw it out that Joshua Ledet was the "best singer in 50 years". Once again, it's crap statements like this that a) make me hate these judges b) make me hate a show that wouldn't edit crap like that out c) not trust a single standing ovation they've given the kid to date and d) did I already say J Lo is an idiot cause I should have. Anyway, tonight's show features huge names in the industry as we get played to by Carrie Underwood and Coldplay. Sometimes the performance gods to look down on us. But, I ain't here for no cold, I'm here for RESULTS: which by the way, only include a bottom TWO this evening. Whhhaaat? Let's get to them!

Well, Elise Testone has fallen and the group is down to 5. As we lose one of the most mature and natural performers we've ever seen, my list of faves is quickly melting away. I use to have a huge ear-crush on Jessica Sanchez but her reviews and performances have been a bit spotty recently as she's lost her way some: I still see her insane voice as a real contender and see her Top 3. Skylar Laine has shockingly started to steal my heart as the country girl with brains whose twang has thankfully taken a back seat to her sweetness and beautiful sound: I'm liking her for a final spot as well. And, then of course there's my boyfriend Phil Phils: of late, I've had to be a bit harsher on him as his sexy growl and looks are starting to lack in the face of the remaining talent. I still see him as a real iTunes seller, but am not sure he's right for the gold ring. Finally, he have the bottoms: Joshua Ledet (yes I did just make that joke) and Hollie Cavanagh. I've been called out for being close-minded about Josh's resale value after this show ends but I honestly don't get the appeal of the church boy sound and Hollie is just not killing with her too-old looks and big voice.
Tonight, the kids again take on two songs each as they attempt British Pop and Songs from the 60s… Can you imagine what I'm going to say next? CHRIST Idol, you're dating yourself even more?? I've been getting a lot of flack for not covering "The Voice" and considering the contemporary spin they actually put on their approach, I'm starting to wonder WTF myself! Full disclosure, I've also been getting a LOT of flack recently on the comments (though more than a couple nice knights have taken up defending me) for my lack of all things 80s and beyond particularly as far as RnB and Classic Rock is concerned so I'll try to resist mentioning that I don't actually know by name alone who Stevie Van Zandt from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and the Sopranos (tonight's mentor) is as apparently letting people know you don't know every song and artist from before you were born completely disqualifies you from having an opinion for what kind of sound and singing you like (yes, that was meant to be condescending and flippant, it wasn't just the way you read it). Listen, no one knows absolutely everything about music: particularly about styles, artists or periods they don't enjoy listening to. I'm here just to comment on how this show comes across to me as someone who has watched it evolve for years and as someone who likes good music. If you want an opinion from someone who knows everything, click on wikipedia and see if their review of the night works for you cause no one else is gonna get everything right. Sorry. Rant done! Let's get to the night and see how the
good awful producers at Idol have screwed it up today!
Click through to see the performances and read my review of the night!
Well, last night did NOT get a ton of great reviews. Once again relying upon the over-used songbook of Queen (seriously Nigel, how much do they pay you to feature them season after season), Idol fell slightly short this Wednesday with what they offered up. I felt Josh, Hollie and even Jessica missed the mark where they're usually seen as the "power" voices; instead the evening was owned by Elise and particularly Skylar who blew away the others. Phil looked cute and that's all I really asked of him. As we get down to the few remaining kids and have seen expected top-contenders like Colton and Jess at the bottom over the last two weeks, it's honestly anyone's to win or lose at this point. Honestly, I don't think Hollie or Josh have a prayer at top billing and doubt Elise is ever going to get the credit she deserves so this writer is predicting a Jess/Phil/Skylar finish as is but who really knows!
Tonight we get a
live tapped performance by Katy Perry doing her single "Part of Me", cute boy, barely-talented Stefano Langone of last year Idol failure fame doing his: "I'm On a Roll" and a Queen tribute bandkicks off their "Queen Extravaganza" show as they begin their cross-country tour. I'm not interested any of these performances to be honest as tribute bands always fall short of the original for me- give me a remix any day; Katy Perry has notoriously terrible live performances (albeit this was taped last night so hopefully some auto-tune has been applied) and as Stefano was only famous for staying around as long as he did because older gays (like my ex Dan) liked to see him on stage. I just wanna see who's going home!
Click through to see my review of the night and see who gets sent home!
Unlike with every other post I've done about Idol, I'm going to start off today with an angry rant. I can only assume Nigel Lythgoe was tired of online writers like myself calling him out on his shit and providing readers with a fast source of "just the songs and only the songs" as his team of lawyers have begun sweeping YouTube for open-source clips of the episodes, forcing us to rely nearly exclusively on idol.com (no I will NOT link that) for web-access to the evening's performances. I've just had to spend my time going back to my article from a week ago where all the links have been "removed for copyright product" and put in coding to idol.com's videos to be able to continue to offer you guys and gals access to the singing (Thanks DAN for letting me know about it!). I'm hoping tonight some brave youtuber will post regardless so I can show you the vids as long as they'll stay up so you can avoid having to watch this two hour show- which, as we all know is 20 mins of singing and an hour and forty of ads, plugs and Ryan Seacrest vamping. As the show continues to drag in the ratings, it's clear they're attempting to jack up Nielsen Ratings and keep generation X, Y and Z offline and keep our TVs on, to ensure Coca Cola gets their 2 billion dollars worth.
Okay, rant over! What's up tonight? As we saw last week, recently uberly out-and-proud Christian rocker Colton Dixon got surprisingly kicked off due to poor song choice, a clear desire not to be tied down by the Idol label, oh, and more than likely a rigging by the producers of the show who didn't like his "screw you attitude" to the judges' critiques last week. We come now to our Top 6 Performers! Tonight will see each kid once again take on two different songs as they're forced to sing from the songbook of Queen (talented band, yes, but relevant? good god no) and a random choice of their own. I'm getting use to hating Idol and their producers 100% of the time so when they give us even the possibility of hearing something contemporary at least half the time, I'll take it.

Should work well for couples.
This one is obviously designed for couples who need to justify sex. Brief monologues are repeatedly inserted by those involved as commentary and rationalization.
As a couples product, Modern Love runs to the ideal and traditional. The ocean roars in the background, settings are romantic, the people are physically beautiful, and nothing too outrageous is attempted. Conventional is the key word: vaginal and oral are the order of the day.
Alexa Rae is the total busty bombshell who "... strokes 'em a few times to get what she wants." Rae does a girl/girl with Drake and a few small toys, and Meadows is well-ridden during a boy/girl.

Get certified - Transform your world of work today
Location: New York, NY
Agile NYC
Name: Ram Gundelli, CSM
I have over 15 years of software development experience. Starting my career as C++ programmer and moved on to Java development for last 12 years. Worked on various kinds of software projects in different industries and finally ended up in developing software for financial services. Mostly used Water Fall methodology moving on to RUP etc, but once started doing Scrum/Agile, I really fell in love with it and I can't think off me working something other than Agile in my future projects. Now I completely understand that software development is an art not a production line kind of work and Agile suits perfectly for this work producing very high rate of success.
I am very inspired by Agile manifesto for software development guidelines when I first learned. I started reading more and more about this methodology and start discussing with my people I worked with and discussion groups to gain more knowledge in this area. Having worked in Agile for over five years and doing lot of reading on this subject made to think get certified in this methodology, which lead me to sign-up for Certified Scrum Master program and get certified.
Going to this two day course, getting my doubts cleared and doing more reading for test made me very clear on what I have been doing for the last five years and makes me think, why I hadn't been doing this other parts of my career. Taking Certified Scrum Master class changed my thinking and inspired me to explore more in this area.
Below is a short description how scrum is implemented at my current company:
Our sprints are of two weeks in length and we shoot for at least 20 production releases in a year on an actively developed project, which consists of 26 sprints in an year. We have Business Analysts (BAs) as proxies to our Product Owner help the team with business needs, story writing and maintaining product backlog. Our manager takes Scrum Master role and makes sure the development team is going at a sustainable pace and adjust the team velocity accordingly.
When a story is picked up from sprint backlog by a developer, we start with story kick off meeting with Business Analyst (BA) and Quality Assurance (QA) person to go through story and be everyone on same page.
As a developer, as soon as a story is picked up, I start with Test Driven Development approach and start writing unit tests around the functionality to be implemented. Write all appropriate tests following story's acceptance criteria and keep them in failed state before starting actual code. Once implementation is completed and all unit tests pass, code is checked-in and a new build is sent to QA for testing. This is how we achieve continuous integration and it works great.
As a part of development team, we do practice pair programming, code re-factoring, Test Driven Development, code reviews and Scrum related meetings. Various ongoing projects are owned by team rather than having experts for each project.
At the end of sprint, when team is met with sprint commitment and still some time remains, we do pick up code refactoring and code clean up tasks. Daily stand-up meetings last 10 to 15 minutes everyday and help us get to know what others are working on, and if any dependencies that need to be addressed. Finally we finish a sprint with retrospective meeting and go over what went well and what not, which is very good tool to learn and help us improve up coming sprints and improving velocity. This completes a typical sprint and we move on to next sprint on following Monday.
Breif Work Experience:
State Street Bank (from April 2008 - Present): Java Developer using Scrum/Agile implementing financial projects for Hedge Fund Administration for various financial clients. Equities, Fixed Income, Options, Futures and Swaps trade processing development using core Java, Spring Framework and Sybase. Test Driven Development using Junit, Jmock and Mockito.

I am looking into buying a new laptop/netbook for work and need a little advice, as i am not great on specs. My current laptop is a acer 6530, its powerful enough to do the job but just too big.
yes it supports injenction with bt4 pre final okay
is ure <device> in monitor mode?
try reading
airmon-ng [Aircrack-ng]
are you sure it does not recognise the driver?
have u tried iwconfig etc?
make sure you are burning the Image and not just the iso file.
burn the image at a slow speed.
are you burning the ISO as a file?? if so make sure u burn the Image.
if you are, then try reburning the image at a lower speed (x1), if that dont work maybe a different disk.
if you read up a few slack commands
Slackware Linux Basics
and look at the pages given on the airmon-ng webpages your be given a host of information that will give you new commands to use.
am enjoying playing around with BT4, and have gone for a USB install and running okay with persistent changes all okay... had to do a few searches here and there and a few vids...
Will edit post as more tests done.
Vmware: wud not load qtparted and some other programs, changes save fine. usb wifi dongle bust so cant try injection here yet.
USB stick: works fine,...
thanks guys... will have a gander and buy... EDIT: assuming ya guys now... lol
my usb gave up... so may as well invest in somethin a little more powerful...
as the title suggests i am looking for a reliable place to purchase an official Alfa AWUS036H.. am bit skepticle...
ref the freerainbow tables, from what i've read you need to either download them, or buy them on an external harddrive. they do update them it seems.
try to use the fake auth attack (-1 0) on aireplay, then make sure to record in airodump.
sorry forgot to mention, have tried that as well... have even tried putting the SSID in " " marks... any other ideas?>
just trying to get to grips with the aircrack suite, and have fun into a small problem. When trying to fake authorisation I get:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -h 00:11:22:33:44:55...
you will need to reformat partitions and use a more newb friendly approach:
partition boot as fat32 1.5GB
partition ext2 for changes
linux swap
u can use windows disk manager to partition any...
Looking to set up my wifi, I managed to source a belkin usb dongle (Belkin F5D7050B) According to the Wiki it needs the RT2570 driver, which I believe is already on backtrack3?
or do I...
yeah, have found out to edit xconf, but now wanting true drivers for my vid card.
thanks for the replies...
your video card is not supported currently.
I am going to Assume you are wanting to log on with persistant changes...
Can you log into the VESA KDE menu (not persstant changes?) and does it...
yes, does not make a difference. I am led to believe it is a video card driver issue.
I am using a old laptop: packardbell easynote E6310, AmD Semphrom processor this uses S3 Graphics Unichrome...
I also have exactly the same problem... so if people could point us in the right direction for a fix?
you have bad sector on usb dongle
sounds like your partitioning and formatting need re-doing. try using acronis disk director for windows. or if using cd to boot bt3, use qt parted.
if it fails...
okay, think am a step closer... went to windows and edited the syslinux.cfg there in notepad... made sure the 'append' was all on one line, and re did the bootinst.bat command.
it still FAILs to...
my install also did this,
all i had to do was to re-partition pen drive, re installed back track, and boots in vesa mode okay now...
Hi, anyone up to help a lost soul?
Can log onto backtrack in the VESA option, but it hangs to a black screen when selecting persistent changes, if hi cntrl alt numplus it goes back to log in...

If it were a painting it could not be better composed. Bravo
It looks as though the ship is tilted far too much towards the perspective of the photographer.. is that the case? If not why does it appear this way?
Beautiful scene.
Wonderful! Congrats on the DD!
I thought this was a painting, it's beautiful!
You took this with just a camera? Its really gorgeous!
el ba7r el a7mar! gameeeeel!
This is amazing! I really love the sky, and the way the sunlight hits the clouds.
Nice play with the photo!
Very nice picture.
wow ,,way to go !!!
beautiful sky.
my first reaction to this was "oh that poor rock wishes it was a big ship like that so it could float in the ocean"
Breathtaking.. Stunning photo
Those colors and details!!!
This is so amazing! I love this style and composition! Great work!
Is the boat in the background real?
It looks blue to me. XD
Congrats My friend Well deserved
Great shot! Congrats on the DD!
Congrats on the DD!
Have a nice day and Happy Holidays!
Have a nice day and Happy Holidays!
Something about this looks like it's not real, sort of like a photomainpulation, but it's so enthralling I'm left speechless. The vibration in the waves is stunning, the straight line horizon is out of this world and so is the skyscape with that gradient of colours! I'd rather not have that ship runining the landscape (nothing you can control either xD) but I guess it does add a nice touch to the photo :'D I just love nature too much!
Is that a transtlantic?
Is that a transtlantic?
I think my heart just melted from the beauty of it!
Wonderful capture! And congrats on the DD!

Just How Much Money Did 'New Moon' Make This Weekend? Well, A Lot
This weekend, New Moon made over $140 million. That's the third-biggest opening weekend ever behind The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3. It helped create the second-biggest box-office weekend of all time. It's the biggest opening weekend of 2009 (obviously). It made twice as much money as the original Twilight did when it opened. The audience was 80 percent female, and 50 percent under 21.
In short, as much money as people thought it would make, it made even more.
$60 million more on opening weekend than Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. $30 million more than Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. More than twice as much as last weekend's 2012.
It may seem at times like the only people who can drive blockbusters anymore are teenage boys playing video games, but don't you believe it. You give them the right story, and teenage girls will fork over just as much money.

So that's what, about half the hourly wage of the Walmart worker? Cool.Hide replies
Well, we know that it's about half of what the union protesters are getting paid.
When I was in high school, working at a retail store was my first job, so I had interesting black Fridays along with its craziness. Hats off to employee!
Stupid cattle.
Obviously she's an Obama voter with a handout mentality. Obama is doing this very thing to me and my wallet.
Someone should have tackled her like a linebacker and spiked the slow cooker on her.
and then she paid for it with her government assistance check.Hide replies
you are human garbage.
Typical Germantown People, paying with their Government Assistance Check.
Germantown People are either on Government Assistance or trying to Kill a Police Officer, like that 28 Year Germantown Criminal Killed by the Police Saturday.

You're brilliant chuck. You really got to the heart of the matter with your comment about the quality of the item. The point of the article was the behavior of the people, and not the slow cooker. Another MPS scholar.
Animals. Meanwhile, I was enjoying some nice wine and getting ready for bed.
If I were that Walmart worker, I would have followed her to the checkout line and told the cashier that she shouldn't ring up the purchase as the woman had just ripped the item out of another shopper's hands. I would have made sure that the other shopper received that slow cooker and the woman who ripped it out of her hands left the store without one. Her actions and behavior were reprehensible and should not be tolerated. That woman should be ashamed of herself. Instead, I firmly believe that she is probably bragging about how she got the last one.
The problem is that the customer would have complained about you and then you would have gotten fired...that's how Wal-Mart works!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A once prominent African-American law firm has disintegrated in a fight over money after helping black farmers win $1.2 billion in a discrimination case.
State Sen. Hank Sanders says the Chestnut, Sanders and Sanders law firm in Selma was once among the nation's 10 largest black law firms. Now he's the only partner left practicing law.
Sanders and his wife, attorney Faya Rose Sanders, are involved in a legal fight with the family of their late partner, J.L. Chestnut Jr., over how to divide the $5.2 million legal fee that arose from the black farmers' case.
Chestnut's family is arguing that he played a critical role in the national litigation and his estate is due a large share. Sanders says the litigation broke the firm financially and in size.

Reviews for Danny Did Foundation
1 person found this review helpful
The Danny Did Foundation is aggressively spreading knowledge about SUDEP. Even within the Epilepsy community, too few people knew that epilepsy could kill. I have donated personally, referred people, and now am spearheading a fundraiser - I have increased my level of involvement because their mission is clear, their goals and activities are transparent, and they already have a track record of success. This is how a grass roots non-profit should work - making a big difference in a very tangible way right from the start.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
The Danny Did Foundation is an outstanding organization comprised of caring, thoughtful, forward-looking, and motivated folks that work tirelessly towards their goals:
(1) advancing awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and enhancing the SUDEP communication model between medical professionals and those afflicted by seizures, and (2) the mainstreaming of seizure detection and prediction devices as well as other technologies that may assist in preventing deaths caused by seizures)
Every decision they make, every interaction they have, every dollar they spend goes towards achieving their goals. Every time I talk to those associated with Danny Did or attend one of their events I feel compelled, motivated, and inspired to help in anyway possible. The DannyDid foundation does everything right and is making a significant positive impact.

Space and style rarely mix but the futuristic Citroen Grand C4 Picasso could be the car to inject some desirability into the MPV class. We've tested it in the UK to see how it stacks up to the best seven-seat rivals.
Aside from those ultra-modern looks, Citroen has also taken a really creative approach to the interior design, and it takes time to adjust to the lounge-like cabin.
In the automatic model that we tried the gear selector is mounted on the steering column like in an old American saloon car, but this frees up space for a huge armrest and storage box under the dash, with USB ports, a 12v socket and SD card slot stowed out of sight.
The stylish centre console on the top-spec Exclusive+ model has an enormous 12-inch colour display that replaces traditional dials and a smaller touchscreen to control all the major functions.
These two features both help to push the new Grand C4 Picasso a lot further upmarket - and justify the £27,855 price tag for top-end cars like this one. Build quality is decent too, and the narrow A-pillars and large swept-back windscreen give a fantastic view of the road and let loads of light inside.
• Citroen Grand C4 Picasso review
Practicality is still high up the agenda, and the added flexibility of the third row makes the longer Grand C4 Picasso considerably more spacious than its five-seat sibling. The seating system is a doddle to use, and the seats require little effort to manouevre.
On the road, the 2.0-litre diesel is a strong performer, even if the slightly hesitant automatic gearbox hampers any attempt to make a really quick getaway from traffic lights when driving in town. The soft ride does a fine job of coping with dips and crests on smooth roads but broken surfaces expose the passengers to sudden bumps and judders from the big wheels.
Incredibly light steering gives this vast MPV impressive agility, but quick inputs are still met with plenty of body roll in fast corners.
Despite this, an excellent CO2 figure of 120g/km makes this massive car as cheap to run as something half its size - which will matter a lot more to the majority of buyers than the soft-edged dynamics.

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in 10- or 11-inch sauté pan. Add 4 to 6 meatballs. Fry, turning several times, until nicely browned on all sides, about 10 minutes, regulating heat as needed to keep oil sizzling but not smoking. Transfer browned meatballs to paper towel–lined plate; set aside.
Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes, bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package directions and/or desired tenderness, drain and leave in collandar when done.
Once sauce has thickened, stir in basil and oregano, and salt & pepper to taste.
Add meatballs and simmer, turning them occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Divide the pasta onto 2 plates (evenly distributing both types), top with 2 meatballs each, and the sauce."

Using with Audio Technica IM-50
Posted by Kevin Lu on 2nd Jul 2016
Is better sound quality in term of good isolation compare to the stock.
Comfort and isolation..... check. Longevity and durability..... no check
Posted by Unknown on 7th May 2016
Super comfy tips if you buy the right size, it also provides quite a good seal for a fuller sound quality. Everything about this is quite perfect EXCEPT for the durability of those tips, or any of Comply's foam tips. One pair of tips only lasts for around 3 weeks max., making it not really economical for you (the buyer). But after you exceed that limit where it starts to rip a bit, it will really hurt your ear canal if you push it in. A bit like pushing a flat head screwdriver into your ear while scraping the side wall of your ear canal (sorry for the horror scene).
But it shouldn't be a big issue if you keep monitoring the state of the tip.
Honestly, I think there must be a compromise somewhere if you're heading for comfort and isolation, and that is both the economical and durability aspects in this case.
Just in case if you're wondering, I tested this on the Noble Savant, and it fit well.
No problem to fit KEF M200
Posted by Unknown on 4th Apr 2016
It's more an answer to another customers than a review.
> For me, they fit the Kef M200, this is just that the Complys do not go over the final "ring" that the original hearplugs cover. But they stay in place, so it's OK for me and you will enjoy the M200's low frequencies way more than with original hearplugs. But they are a pain in the ass to put on. I can be agreed on that.
Planning on Buying, (4 Stars is Unrelated)
Posted by Unknown on 13th Mar 2016
I'm planning on buying these soon, but you have to remember to keep price in consideration, and -after doing some simple maths- this product works out to $6.05 each if you buy 5 and live in the state that I live or $7.95 each for 3. I'm not sure when I'm planning on ordering these, but you can be sure I'm going to be ordering 5 and not 3.
Do not fit KEF M200
Posted by Unknown on 1st Mar 2016
My KEF M200 need an opening 0.265" wide. The Ts500s I received in the mail are maybe 0.19" wide. I'm not sure if I received a bad package of Ts500s or if Comply has wrong information about KEF M200.
I'm really disappointed because this is the first time I've gone wrong with Comply tips. Their size guide has worked well for every other pair of headphones I've tried.
Nothing like it
Posted by Jarrod on 4th Jan 2016
There is nothing like these foam tips. They cancel all the noise out and allow only the music to flow through. It makes me feel immersed into the music every time I use these. The comfort level is phenomenal. The foam tips will maximize your bass experience and leave you wanting to buy more!
TS500 for JayBird Bluebuds X
Posted by R Siggaard on 9th Oct 2015
Absolutely brilliant product: improves fit and sound dramatically compared to the standard silicone ones. I use them for long distance running and find that once inserted properly when commencing the run they stay tight all the way. Impressive. Take some testing to figure out the best size. By the way, don't assume that your ears are the same size! A pair lasts approx 3 months with use 4-5 times @ week. Highly recommended.
Flexible tips.
Posted by David Salchow on 22nd Sep 2015
These tips really increased my enjoyment of my wireless ear buds. Much softer and more secure.
Fantastic tips for my Powerbeats
Posted by Unknown on 12th May 2015
They are super comfortable, last a long time, and sound great. Highly recommended.
Do yourself a favour and get some
Posted by Richard Chester on 22nd Dec 2014
I've been using the same UE TripleFi10 earphones for over five years now, always with the supplied silicon tips. I can't believe what a massive improvement the Tsx500 tips have made. The sound quality has improved markedly, they exclude external sounds far more effectively and they are far more comfortable to boot. I couldn't be happier.

No. 13 UCLA 80, UC Irvine 79
Associated Press | Last updated November 14, 2012
Jordan Adams scored 26 points, making all 16 of his free throws, and No. 13 UCLA edged UC Irvine 80-79 in overtime on Tuesday night in regional play of the Legends Classic. Will Davis II missed two free throws with 2 seconds left in regulation that would have sealed the upset for the Anteaters (1-1), who fell to 10-35 all-time against Pac-12 teams. Daman Starring tied the game on a 3-pointer and Michael Wilder's three gave the Anteaters a 79-78 lead with 22 seconds to go in the extra session. But Larry Drew II's layup with 17 seconds kept the Bruins (2-0) perfect at new Pauley Pavilion. David Wear added 13 points and nine rebounds, and his twin brother Travis had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Bruins. They will host James Madison on Thursday night in their second regional game before moving on to the championship rounds.

The CIA's internal watchdog is investigating allegations that the agency improperly spied on US Senate staffers probing secret details of a now-defunct interrogation programme.
Senator Dianne Feinstein acknowledged on Wednesday the existence of the probe, which highlights a rare public clash between lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee she chairs and the US espionage community it oversees.
"The IG is taking a look at the situation," Feinstein said, referring to the Central Intelligence Agency's inspector general, after a report in The New York Times exposed Capitol Hill anger at CIA staffers' behaviour.
According to the Times report, the probe began when members of Congress complained that agency employees were inappropriately monitoring intelligence committee staffers.
The newspaper cited an official - who insisted on anonymity because the investigation was ongoing - as saying CIA officers managed to gain access to computer networks used by committee staffers probing the agency's detention and interrogation programme.
The staffers had spent years researching and writing a 6,000-page bipartisan report that was highly critical of the programme, which began under former president George W. Bush.
In December 2012, when the report was approved by her committee, Feinstein described the creation of clandestine "black sites" and the use of enhanced interrogation techniques such as waterboarding as "terrible mistakes".
Lawmakers were furious that, if true, the alleged impropriety showed that the very separation of powers enshrined in the US Constitution was under threat.
"If they were doing that, I'm outraged," Senator John McCain said, adding that a full investigation would be merited.
He said: "You just can't have that happen in a democracy. There's a separation of powers between the legislative branch and the executive branch."

The new re-make of the1995 erotic horror film, Embrace Of TheVampire, opens with some really nice shots of a woman riding horsebackthrough the woods. The year is 1735. In a nearby home, another woman is beingrestrained and hurt. That is, until the first woman arrives and attacks thosein the house.
The film then takes us tothe present day, where Charlotte (Sharon Hinnendael) arrives at college. Wequickly learn that she has no parents and is at school on a fencingscholarship. The school is located in a beautiful, mountainous area. She meetsher roommate, Nicole (Tiio Horn), then quickly gets a job at a coffeehousemanaged by a nice guy named Chris. These two people will basically be her only friends.
Early on, Charlotte meetsDr. Duncan to discuss the provisions and requirements of her scholarship. Heasks her to close the blinds, saying he�s just had laser surgery and his eyesare sensitive. That�s a nice little play on the whole vampire theme, making theaudience play the guessing game about who might be a vampire. The scene dropshints of Charlotte�s troubled past. Charlotte assures Dr. Duncan that she�ll dowell in school because there�s no going back � it�s not an option for her.
At night she runs intoher fencing coach, and is startled. He knows who she is, though they hadn�t metbefore. Of course, running into anyone on this campus might be startling. Itseems to be quite an unpopular school, as there is almost never anyone around.That might be due in part to the fact that the fencing coach is also a teacherat the school. Yes, Professor Cole(Victor Webster) not only coaches the fencing team, but also teaches a class onmythology. A class that coincidentallyboth Charlotte and her roommate Nicole are taking.
Professor Cole begins thefirst class by saying: �Monsters. Myth?Reality? Maybe a combination of both.� He then asks, �Is there a connection between these myths, these creatures and all ofus? The subject of this semester will be to answer that very question.�
There are some goodlittle moments in setting up Charlotte�s character. For example, at the coffeeshop, Chris goes to wipe something off of Charlotte�s shirt, and Charlotteautomatically, defensively grabs his hand, showing good reflexes (which Chriscomments on for those of us who couldn�t see it for ourselves). And we learnthat Charlotte has a blood disorder, which apparently her mother died from.
Then Charlotte beginshallucinating, seeing worms in a couple of empty coffee cups, for example. Shedrops those cups, and later Chris teases her: �Those two mugs you broke? Those were my favorites.� That is a nice,cute moment between them. Unfortunately, moments like that are few and farbetween. A lot of time is spent with some truly annoying characters, such asEliza, Nicole�s friend, who immediately and inexplicably hates Charlotte, andthe captain of the fencing team, who also immediately and inexplicably hatesCharlotte. Most of the characters are designed to make you feel that Charlotteis alone.
(To read the complete review, please click on "RAWR." Also, please be aware that this review contains some spoilers.)
College life forCharlotte seems to consist of going to just one class (mythology), fencing, andhallucinating. The first time she has a nightmare, it�s interesting, as shewakes up screaming outside in her nightgown, understandably confused. But thenshe just keeps having these visions, and nothing really comes of them. So everytime something slightly scary happens, you just assume (and rightly so) thatit�s an hallucination, and you quickly stop caring. So there�s a lot of weirdimagery, but no real scares. Blood coming out of the showerhead is just notfrightening (or original).
The one moment that mighthave been scary, had I not assumed that it was yet another hallucination, iswhen two of her teeth come out easily in the sink. It�s gross and creepy, butof course turns out to be an hallucination. (There is a nice moment, however,when Charlotte breaks a glass, and somewhat deliriously asks her roommate ifshe�s bleeding, if she too can see the blood.)
As for eroticism, forgetit. Sure, there�s some nudity, including a lesbian scene with Charlotte and ablonde named Sarah (Chelsey Marie Reist). But it�s all rather cold. And most ofthe lesbian scene also turns out to be a dream or nightmare or hallucination.And what does any of this have to do with vampires, you might be askingyourself. Indeed.
Well, toward the end ofthe film, a strange woman named Daciana tells Charlotte that Charlotte hasvampire blood. Daciana�s ancestors helped create Charlotte�s bloodline in orderto fight vampires. Daciana tells her, �Whena vampire finds a virgin from the creature who bit him, from the bloodline, hecan use this pure blood to change back into his human form, but only if thevirgin � you, Charlotte � only if you give yourself to him willingly.� Soall the vampire wants, apparently, is to be human again. Charlotte, sensibly,asks why shouldn�t she just give herself to him then. Daciana tells her that asa result she�ll suffer for eternity in hell. Does this make sense? No, not really.
Charlotte goes on acamping trip with Chris and Nicole and a few other people. But before Charlottecan lose her virginity, Chris is killed. Apparently, the others are killed too,but for some reason this horror movie skips over most of what could actually bea scary scene. And suddenly Charlotte goes to Professor Cole�s log cabin(actually, it�s like a log mansion � very odd). How did she know that ProfessorCole is the vampire? Well, he�s the only adult character still alive in thefilm.
Now, remember, he canonly regain his humanity if Charlotte gives herself to him willingly. So whydid he kill her only two friends? Is that any kind of way to seduce someone?
This movie really failson all counts. It even fails to follow up on the hints of Charlotte�s troubledpast. We know that her mom died, but what exactly was Dr. Duncan referring toin that early scene? And what exactly is it that Charlotte can�t go back to?And why would a vampire want to teach a vampire hunter to be a better swordsman(remember, he is her fencing instructor)? This film provides no answers.
