I've got a small hierarchy of objects that in general gets constructed from data in a
Stream, but for some particular subclasses, can be synthesized from a simpler argument list. In chaining the constructors from the subclasses, I'm running into an issue with ensuring the disposal of the synthesized stream that the base class constructor needs. Its not escaped me that the use of
IDisposable objects this way is possibly just dirty pool (plz advise?) for reasons I've not considered, but, this issue aside, it seems fairly straightforward (and good encapsulation).
abstract class Node {
protected Node (Stream raw)
// calculate/generate some base class properties
class FilesystemNode : Node {
public FilesystemNode (FileStream fs)
: base (fs)
// all good here; disposing of fs not our responsibility
class CompositeNode : Node {
public CompositeNode (IEnumerable some_stuff)
: base (GenerateRaw (some_stuff))
// rogue stream from GenerateRaw now loose in the wild!
static Stream GenerateRaw (IEnumerable some_stuff)
var content = new MemoryStream ();
// molest elements of some_stuff into proper format, write to stream
content.Seek (0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return content;
I realize that not disposing of a
MemoryStream is not exactly a world-stopping case of bad CLR citizenship, but it still gives me the heebie-jeebies (not to mention that I may not always be using a
MemoryStream for other subtypes). It's not in scope, so I can't explicitly
Dispose () it later in the constructor, and adding a
using statement in
GenerateRaw () is self-defeating since I need the stream returned.
Is there a better way to do this?
Preemptive strikes:
- yes, the properties calculated in the
Nodeconstructor should be part of the base class, and should not be calculated by (or accessible in) the subclasses
- I won't require that a stream be passed into CompositeNode (its format should be irrelevant to the caller)
- The previous iteration had the value calculation in the base class as a separate protected method, which I then just called at the end of each subtype constructor, moved the body of
GenerateRaw ()into a using statement in the body of the
CompositeNodeconstructor. But the repetition of requiring that call for each constructor and not being able to guarantee that it be run for every subtype ever (a
Nodeis not a
Node, semantically, without these properties initialized) gave me heebie-jeebies far worse than the (potential) resource leak here does.

Nepal: Mount Everest Avalanche During Earthquake
Rishi Khanal spent about 80 hours in a rubble-filled room with three dead bodies after the seven-story building he was in collapsed around him during Saturday's massive earthquake in downtown Kathmandu. The 28-year-old was finally pulled out of the rubble on Tuesday, Reuters reports, by a Nepali-French rescue team combing the capital city for survivors.
"It seems he survived by sheer willpower," said Akhilesh Shreshtha, a doctor who treated him, after it appeared that Khanal had no access to food or water for three days and escaped with nothing but a possible broken leg.
Khanal's rescue was a heartening but rare story from the devastation in Nepal, where a 7.8-magnitude earthquake over the weekend killed more than 5,000 people. That toll is sure to rise significantly as rescue teams move away from Kathmandu, which they began to do early Wednesday, and reach devastated villages near the quake's epicenter.

Over the last two days, Nepal has been rattled by its worst earthquakes since 1934.
More than 3,000 people have lost their lives, and villages, roads, highways and ancient buildings have been devastated. The total economic losses from the damage could be between $1 billion and $10 billion, according to the US Geological Survey's best estimate.
In all, the destruction could push the economy of Nepal—already one of the world's poorest countries—back by a decade or more, significantly hurting the small Himalayan nation's efforts to move from a "Least Developed Country" to a "Developing Country" by 2022.
"Almost 100 quakes in the last 24 hours have pushed us 50 years back to the past, in terms of infrastructural damage alone," said Mukesh Khanal, an economist who works in the international development sector in Nepal.
"Highways and roads have suffered structural damage, and we do not know what kind of structural damage…

Nepal's utter inability to effectively respond to the catastrophic earthquake that rattled the small Himalayan nation on April 25 can be perhaps best explained by the fact that its army has only one big helicopter to its name.
The massive earthquake—followed by waves of aftershocks—has already killed over 3,000 people and injured thousands across this mountainous nation of 28 million. The exact extent of the damage in large swathes of rural Nepal is still unknown, although entire villages may have been wiped out.
In the midst of this terrible disaster, there is a slender silver lining for Nepal: The international community—from economic giants like India, China and the US, to tiny Bhutan and faraway Israel—has responded swiftly and generously to help search and rescue efforts to one of the world's poorest nations.
Within four hours of the earthquake on April 25, New Delhi dispatched the Indian Air Force's first C-130J…

More than 1,300 people are now confirmed dead, reports Reuters, in the wake of a 7.9 magnitude earthquake just 77km (about 50 miles) outside of Kathmandu, Nepal.
Fatalities were reported across Nepal, northern India, and Bangladesh. Search-and-rescue efforts are still in early stages, hampered by collapsed buildings and buckled roads, the death toll is expected to rise.
Kathmandu's Tribhuvan airport has re-opened to receive emergency supplies, and India has already begun sending relief. Meanwhile, local emergency responders are excavating damaged buildings as quickly as they can, to free any survivors trapped or injured in the debris. Ordinary civilians are also working to help, freelance photographer Thomas Nybo told CNN from Kathmandu:
"A group of mainly tourists started gathering rocks, hammers and pickaxes and breaking through a re-enforced concrete wall to reach this guy…It took about two hours of smashing through wall and cutting rebar with a hacksaw to pull him out alive."

A little before noon local time, a massive earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale hit 77km (48 miles) northwest of Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, sending strong tremors through the landlocked Himalayan nation and across northern India.
Reuters quoted a Nepalese home ministry official as saying that at least 688 people have been killed. In northern India, initial reports suggest that 13 people have been killed, including a 15-year-old girl whose home collapsed after the earthquake. The death toll could rise significantly, with many people feared to be trapped underneath collapsed buildings.
The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 11.41 am local time, was 35 kilometers east of Lamjung, about halfway between the Nepalese capital and Pokhara, the country's second largest-city. Together, both cities are home to over a million people.

A powerful earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck central Nepal on Saturday morning, damaging buildings in the country's capital, Kathmandu, and sending tremors across northern India, Bangladesh and as far afield as Pakistan. At least 449 people were reported to have died.
The epicenter of the earthquake was located about 50 mi (80 km) northwest of Kathmandu, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which said the quake struck Nepal just before noon at a shallow depth of only about 9 mi (15 km) belowground.
More than 6.6 million people are in the area affected by the earthquake, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Bangkok.
In Kathmandu, residents congregated on streets and other open areas as the USGS reported a series of powerful aftershocks. Buildings and temples collapsed, and roads across the city were cracked open by the quake…

"It hurt."
"My baby was too sleepy to nurse."
"I didn't have enough milk."
All are comments new moms make every day when talking about first nursing their babies. And all are challenges that can often be avoided.
A growing body of research reveals profound connections between a woman's birth experience and her ability to get breastfeeding off to a good start. Well-known lactation consultant Linda Smith asserts that common obstetrical practices, including medical, technological, and surgical interventions, can create all kinds of problems, involving a baby's ability to breath, suck and swallow properly; the mother's comfort level, and the ability of a mother and baby to remain together immediately after the birth.
Unfortunately, childbirth and breastfeeding are typically treated as separate and unrelated events. But if you think of putting your baby to your breast as the fourth stage of labor (following dilation, pushing out the baby, and birthing the placenta) it can help you visualize this connection.
The bottom line is, the less intervention you have at birth, the less likely you are to have problems breastfeeding. So why make the beginning of your parenting journey extra challenging? After all, you wouldn't set out on a vacation driving with a flat tire? And if nursing goes well in the first few days, you'll be more likely to stick with it. Given that Americans spend an extra 3.6 billion dollars a year to care for babies fed formula, it makes sense to do a little homework ahead of time.
Here are eight things you can do to help your baby - and you - get off to the best start possible.
ONE: Take a childbirth education class and consider looking outside of the hospital to find one.
Chose an instructor certified by a national organization (such as Lamaze, Bradley, or International Childbirth Education Association), with the freedom to present accurate and complete information. You want to be empowered to be an active participants throughout your labor, not simply prepared for what to expect in the hospital setting. The more empowered you are during birth, the more empowered you'll be to nurse.
TWO: Find out what your practitioner's rates are for labor inductions, epidurals, c-sections, and VBACS (vaginal birth after cesarean) and compare the statistics between hospitals.
Then chose the provider and hospital with the lowest rates. Rates for all these procedures have dramatically increased in recent years without a corresponding increase or improvement in birth weight and birth outcomes.
Does this affect breastfeeding? You bet. Epidurals, for example, can make labor less productive, setting into place a cascade of interventions, often culminating in a c-section. As of 2004 the national c-section rate was an unprecedented 29.1% and rising steadily. Studies suggest that women who give birth via c-section are less likely to room-in with their babies and are less likely to be breastfeeding several weeks later. And the less likely you are to be in pain after the birth, the more difficult it will be to focus on the needs of your baby.
THREE: Ask your provider how they can help you labor comfortably without using drugs.
Find out if you can labor (and even birth) in a tub, if you can eat and drink for energy, and what kind of support you will have. Ask to have sporadic instead of continuous fetal monitoring. You will be more able to labor comfortably if you have the freedom to move around and it's impossible to do so when you are strapped to a machine. Remember that in most cases, the more gently you are treated, the more gently your baby is treated.
FOUR: Locate a childbirth doula (pronounced DOO-la).
Doulas offer emotional and physical support to women and provide various combinations of support before, during and after the birth. Studies show that having a doula at your birth shortens labor, cuts in half the odds of having an unnecessary c-section, and helps women feel more satisfied about their birth. Contact DONA, Doulas of North American. Two other organizations that train doulas are: CAPPA - Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association and ALACE - Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators.
FIVE: Find out what your hospital's post-partum policies are.
Immediate skin-to-skin contact and being able to have your baby "room-in" with you increases breastfeeding success. Drying the baby, assigning Apgar scores, and doing the initial assessment typically should be done while your baby is with you. You can also delay having your baby cleaned, weighed, measured and bathed until after he or she has had a chance to nurse.
SIX: Request, in writing, that your baby be given no supplemental bottles of formula or glucose.
Supplemental feedings of formula in the hospital have almost doubled in the past ten years, a practice known to derail nursing.
SEVEN: Attend a La Leche League meeting before giving birth
You'll want to do this especially if you've never been around nursing mothers, have questions or concerns or just really need a hand getting started.
EIGHT: Overall, know your rights as a patient.
You have the right to participate in decision-making involving you and your baby and you have the right to know the benefits, risks and hazards of drugs and procedures. Remember: as the authors of "A Good Birth, A Safe Birth observe, "If you don't know your options, you don't have any."

I thought this was going to
I thought this was going to be an article about breastfeeding and how to prepare for breastfeeding, instead I feel it is fairly one sided for natural child birth. (not that there is anything wrong with that, but maybe the article should be tilted "How to help have a natural childbirth before labor starts."
I have had 3 c/s and breastfed my children until the birth of the next (about 2 yrs each time). I have roomed in each time with my babies, only my first (an emergency and I had to have an emergency 6hr surgery afterwards) did I not get the immediate baby on my chest. I know this isn't always the case, but this is something that can be asked beforehand.
There are many reasons why people have c/s, maybe they don't want a natural birth, and they also don't want to breastfeed, whereas someone who has a natural childbirth might be more likely to breastfeed. There may have been complications with the pregnancy and then complications with the baby and then the mother couldn't spend that time with the baby.
I am sorry I am sure this article isn't meant to offend people, but I get defensive when I read articles like this. PO needs to write articles that support women who have had c/s and how they can breastfeed too.
I feel a lot of women here have had c/s, but there is little to no support for them here.
Hi Lil! Thanks for weighing
Hi Lil! Thanks for weighing in as we definitely appreciate your feedback. I have had both a c-section (emergency) and vaginal births. Fortunately, my c/s experience did go fairly well in regards to recovery, although as you mentioned is common, I did not have the opportunity to nurse immediately after. (My reason: I was unconscious! :P) Still, I was able to enjoy a wonderful breastfeeding relationship though with all our children!
I am definitely in agreement with you that our goal should be that ALL women that wish to breastfeed find encouragement and support! I am certain that is a sentiment echoed by Pregnancy.org as well!
My thought is that this author was trying to reach out to those women that were considering breastfeeding and perhaps still preparing and weighing options for their birth plan. Many may not be aware that they can include specifics such as "rooming in" and not to give their little one formula/glucose water.
For all of our c-section nursing mama's (by choice or emergency!), we do have a number of articles available. Below are a few by some of my personal favorites that I've had the pleasure of "knowing" over the years:
Nursing Tips For After a Cesarean
Breastfeeding After a Cesarean
Postpartum Nutrition for the New Mom (
Let us know what you think! Also, if you are interested in helping out, we'd love to have your help preparing another support article for breastfeeding after a c-section -- perhaps in time for August World Breastfeeding Week! Just drop me a note anytime!

Employees should wear apparel appropriate for the jobs they perform and dress in a businesslike manner. "Business casual" attire may be appropriate for some employees, depending on the nature of their work and with whom they interact with daily. Employees should dress for work in a manner that reflects an image of professionalism and is not distracting to or disrespectful of other employees.
Business casual includes clothing that is in good taste for the business environment – such as slacks and trousers, skirts, shirts and blouses, polo shirts, sweaters, vests, blazers and sport coats. Many departments and field sites find that "traditional business attire" best meets their business requirements. Therefore, business unit/staff department heads may establish guidelines within this general policy for their business and staff units.
It is essential that Travelers be creative in seeking solutions to deliver high quality service to our customers. We recognize the importance of helping employees balance the demands of their work and personal life. For these reasons, our company considers alternative work arrangements that make business sense as defined by the business unit. Management, at its discretion, may institute, modify or cancel alternative work arrangements in particular business units when business needs require such solutions. Employee requests for alternative work arrangements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and should be considered a privilege, not an entitlement. The company may modify or terminate non-standard work arrangements at any time.

i like it, very rpg game inviting.
only some parts of the melody sound awfully familiar wich isnt a good thing, but throughout the track it all gives off a very nice vibe and make me think of rpg villages and plains to hunt small monsters in so i can make awesome leather armor from their hides and show it off to the people.
Thanks a lot! ^_^ Yes, I'll admit, some parts of the melody sound familiar - when I wrote this, I was inspired by the Piano Collections version of Hand in Hand from Kingdom Hearts, hence the introduction.

WRT different model per tennat in Aspnet 5, you didn't really show how that would work.
Actually, currently in our situation it would be single model per tennant however, different connection string. I assume there is some way with the Aspnet 5 container to inject runtime values rather than configuring a single connection string in configureServices?
But, it might be nice to have different model per tennant.
Any examples of those use cases for Aspnet5 apps?

Author has written 5 stories for Bleach, Harry Potter, Bible, Fullmetal Alchemist, Misc. Books, and Yu-Gi-Oh.
Hi, there! I'm Scaehime, but calling me Scae works, too. I have a Bachelor's degree in math, but I've been told I have a talent for figurative language. Go figure.
Efua: Scae, I know you like puns, but did you have to use such an obvious one?
Scae: Efua, I know you like startling people, but did you have to just jump in on my profile page without introducing yourself?
Efua: Touché. *to audience* I'm Scae's yami, for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans; her inner crazy (since I'm not a hollow), for Bleach fans; and an (annoying) OC, for anyone else.
Scae: We don't have extended, pointless author notes in our fics, so no need to worry about that.
Efua: We may start something like those in a pm or review, though.
Stuff about me:
My original username on this site was Scaevola2. Scaevola is Latin for Lefty, and two is my favorite number. At some point, I changed it to Scaehime-KingofKing's Daughter. Hime is Japanese for princess, and I have a t-shirt that says "Yes, I am a princess. My Father is the King of Kings." I eventually realized how ridiculously long that username was, so I shortened it to my current username, Scaehime.
My Christian faith is a big part of my life.
I have very mild Asperger's Syndrome.
I'm available as a beta reader. If you want me to beta read, but the fandom isn't listed, ask me about it. I have a friend who keeps getting me into more and more anime.
I'm currently a graduate student in a writing program, with a concentration in creative writing. I plan to switch to a concentration more beneficial for becoming an editor, however.
I write for my own enjoyment. However, much of that enjoyment comes from knowing someone else enjoys reading what I write.
I like cats and have two of my own.
I've been playing violin for nearly thirteen years now.
I've studied Latin, Spanish, and Japanese.
My current projects under focus are Bridge the Gap, Kyoukan! a solo fic, and its sister story Long Parted, Always Sisters, a collab fic with Esmereilda and Uxintaa (posted on Esmereilda's profile).
I have a new account on FictionPress with the same username, where you can find my first few serious attempts at writing a non-fanfiction story.

Before you begin
If you haven't already, try these steps to connect the Remote app and check the system requirements.
If the Remote app still won't connect to your iTunes library or Apple TV, or if it's never connected, try the steps below. After each step, see if the app can connect.
Check for software updates
On your iOS device, update to the latest version of iOS and the latest version of Remote.
On your computer, update to the latest version of iTunes.
Turn on Home Sharing
Make sure that you turned on Home Sharing for the device that you want to use with Remote. If asked, sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your iOS device.
Apple TV (4th generation): Go to Settings > Accounts > Home Sharing.
Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Go to Settings > Computers.
Mac or PC: Open iTunes, click File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.
Open iTunes on your computer
If you need help connecting to iTunes, use this step. To connect to your Apple TV, skip to the next step. Make sure that your computer is on and awake and that iTunes is open. If iTunes is already open, quit and open it again.
iTunes must be open on your computer for Remote to connect with your iTunes library.
Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi network
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch needs to be on the same home or local network as your iTunes library or Apple TV.
If you have more than one Wi-Fi network, connect your iOS device to the same network as your computer or Apple TV.
Restart your router
Check your router's user guide for steps. You might need to disconnect the power cord for ten seconds or more.
Check your firewall settings
If you have a firewall on your router or computer, see if it's blocking communication between Remote and iTunes or your Apple TV. The Remote app uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with iTunes and Apple TV.
On your Mac, make sure that the firewall isn't set to "Allow only essential services." You don't need to edit the port addresses.
On Windows, allow iTunes to communicate through the firewall.
If you use other firewall software or hardware, check its user guide for how to open TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353.
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation)
Remote app is designed to provide simple navigation, text input, and control with Apple TV (4th generation) and tvOS 9.1 or later. Features such as Siri, volume control, or using the accelerometer or gyroscope for game play are only made possible with the Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote.* With some third-party apps, the keyboard in the Remote app might not be available.
*Apple TV (4th generation) ships with the same remote everywhere. In countries and regions that support Siri, the remote is called Siri Remote. Elsewhere, it's called Apple TV Remote. Siri works on either remote as long as your Apple TV (4th generation) is set up with a language and country that supports Siri.

Suspect Confesses to Killing Airmen
Kosovo Native Says Jihadist Videos Inspired Him; in Confession, He Refuses to Reveal Where He Bought the Gun
FRANKFURT—A Kosovo native confessed in court Wednesday to killing two American airmen at the Frankfurt airport in March, adding that watching jihadist videos online had inspired him to carry out the shootings.
"What I did was wrong, but I cannot undo what I did," a tearful Arid Uka, 21 years old, told the court after the indictment was read.
His confession came at the start of a trial for the first deadly assault on U.S. military personnel in Europe in years.
Mr. Uka, who faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, is charged with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder after opening fire in the curbside drop-off area outside an airport terminal March 2. Senior Airman Nicholas J. Alden, 25, of Williamston, S.C., and Airman 1st Class Zachary R. Cuddeback, 21, of Stanardsville, Va., were killed in the shootings, while two other U.S. soldiers were wounded.
Mr. Uka, an ethnic Albanian whose family moved to Germany from Kosovo when he was a child, had been in contact with Islamic radicals in Germany on Facebook and other social-networking sites prior to the shootings. But authorities say he acted alone and wasn't part of any known terror organizations.
For months before the attack, Mr. Uka testified that he was a loner, sitting at home, playing computer games and looking at extremist Islamic propaganda online. On his Facebook profile, which was taken down the day after the attack, Mr. Uka made clear his Islamist political leanings and approval of jihad, while demonstrating a fondness for first-person shooter computer games such as "Call of Duty: Black Ops."
In court, Mr. Uka confirmed that he watched a video the night before the attack, which supposedly showed American soldiers raping a girl but was later determined to be a scene from the 2007 anti-war fictional film "Redacted." He said watching it inspired him to stop any further violence by American soldiers.
On his way to the airport, Mr. Uka said he listened to Islamic music and weighed whether to go through with the plan. He told the court he didn't know why he had become so extreme and had gone through with the attack.
According to prosecutors, Mr. Uka bought a gun about six months prior to his attack, "with no clear purpose." Mr. Uka has refused to reveal where he purchased the gun, which the judge on Wednesday said meant his confession was incomplete.
He struck up a conversation with American airmen in the terminal area, asking for a cigarette, prosecutors said. The airmen, part of the Air Force Security Forces team, had flown in from the U.K. and were about to board a bus to head to Ramstein Air Base in southern Germany.
After determining that their final destination was Afghanistan, Mr. Uka allegedly followed them to a blue military bus and shot the first airman in the back of the head, killing him instantly.
Authorities say he then climbed onto the bus and yelled, "Allahu akbar," Arabic for "God is great," then shot the 21-year-old bus driver in the head, killing him. He is accused of shooting and seriously injuring two other airmen before his gun jammed with six bullets left. An airman and two German policemen tackled and caught Mr. Uka in the airport, arresting him on the spot.
Mr. Uka, who grew up in Frankfurt, had a temporary job at the airport sorting letters for the German postal service.
Authorities said in March that Mr. Uka hadn't come to their notice before the shooting. Prosecutors cited Germany's privacy laws, which set a high bar for authorities seeking to monitor or gather information on potentially threatening individuals, as one reason he hadn't drawn attention.
The trial is expected to run for about 10 days in total, and a verdict is expected early next year. The next trial date is scheduled for Sept. 14.

Read an Excerpt
"They're so normal."
Luisa lit her cigarette and snapped the lighter shut. "And how is that a problem?"
"I didn't say it was a problem. But they named their dog Spot."
"The dog does have a spot, Rachel."
It was true. The dog in question had a spot. And as dogs went, Spot was okaynot too yappy or slobbery. In fact, he was a completely normal dog, exactly right for his owners, Charles and Susan Forrest, my future in-laws and the source of all this rampant normalcy.
The phrase my future in-laws still felt unreal to me, even though Peter and I had been engaged for several months now and in spite of the very real engagement party we were currently attending at the Forrests' San Francisco home. Or, to be more accurate, the engagement party from which Luisa and I were sneaking a break. She had wanted a cigarette, and the sight of my family mingling with Peter's family, especially our grandmothers with their heads close together, undoubtedly hammering out just how many children we should have, was enough to make a little second-hand smoke seem nearly appealing.
We'd slipped out of the house through the side door and walked the short distance to the top of the Lyon Street steps, which led down from Pacific Heights to the Palace of Fine Arts and the Bay beyond. The steps were the local hot spot for underage drinkers on a Saturday night. Clumps of kids gathered on the landings, discreetly sipping from beer cans and plastic cups and apparently unconcerned that even in June the air was damp and chill.
I heard the staccato of high-heeled feet approaching, and one of the kids looked in our direction and whistled, a long, piercing wolf whistle. Since Luisa and I had already beenthere for several minutes, I knew the sound had nothing to do with us. I turned, and sure enough, Hilary was heading our way. Six-foot tall women with platinum hair and a proclivity for small clothing generate a disproportionate amount of whistling, especially in a city where most people's wardrobes are comprised largely of f leece.
Fortunately, Hilary enjoyed the occasional objectification. She f lashed the whistler a smile and pulled herself up to sit on the stone railing. "I thought I'd find you two out here."
"Luisa needed a cigarette," I explained.
"And you're freaking out," Hilary said.
"Not at all," I said, which was almost the truth. There was nothing quite like being the guest of honor at an engagement party to remind a person she had commitment issues, not to mention several other relationship-related neuroses, but I was proud of the progress I'd made in developing emotional maturity. Between the party and the quality time Peter and I had planned with his parents over the next few days, my skills were definitely being put to the test, but I was confident the Forrests would never guess just how new I was to this whole normalcy thing.
"I don't know how you people do it," said Hilary.
"'You people?'" asked Luisa, raising one dark, well-shaped eyebrow.
"Do what?" I asked, wishing I had Luisa's one-eyebrow-raising skill.
"Long-term relationships," said Hilary. "You and Peter. Jane and Sean. Emma and Matthew. You, too, Luisa. At least, until Isobel dumped you." Luisa, Hilary and I had been roommates in college, which was starting to become longer ago than I cared to admit. Jane and Emma completed the group, but they were both on the East Coast this weekend: Jane home in Boston with her newborn son and Emma at the Southampton wedding of her boyfriend's sister.
"Isobel did not dump me," said Luisa evenly. She stubbed out her cigarette and lit another. "After careful consideration, we mutually decided our relationship had run its course."
"And before Peter, my longest relationship only lasted three months," I pointed out. Technically, it had been closer to two and a half months, but it seemed fair to round up for the purpose of this discussion.
"Ben and I haven't been together anything like three months, but it's felt stale ever since I got over the thrill of being with a guy who carries a gun. And that was during the second week," said Hilary. Her boyfriend of the moment, Ben Lattimer, was an agent with the FBI's financial fraud unit, and he did carry a gun, but it didn't seem to be providing much in the way of defense against Hilary. Her blunt manner masked a deep affection and fierce loyalty where her friends were concerned, but her attention span could be short when it came to romance, and it sounded as if Ben was on his way out, whether he was aware of it or not.
"Have you considered giving a guy a chance for once?" I asked.
"I have given him a chance, and it was fine for a while, but now he's getting all mushy on me. You know how I feel about that."
We did know, having listened to more than a few discourses from her over the years on how love, like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and a nonsurgical cure for cellulite, was a nice idea but equally lacking any basis in reality. "Are you sure? Ben's sweet, and he seems mentally stable, and he's really good-looking," I said.
"He's taller than you, too," said Luisa. "How often does that happen?"
"And how often do all of those qualities come together in one man?" I added.
"How will I ever find out if I'm stuck with him for the rest of my life?" Hilary countered, swinging one long leg with impatience.
"Do you want me to talk to Ben?" I offered. It would be a good opportunity to exercise my emotional maturity. "I can help you work things out."
Hilary made a noise that was somewhere between a snort, a laugh and a sigh.
"I'll take that as a no," I said, disappointed.
"Speaking of good-looking," said Luisa, "what's the story on Peter's colleague, Abigail?"
Abigail lived here in San Francisco, where she ran business development for the West Coast office of Peter's company. She'd started working for him the previous fall, and it had been a bit unnerving at first to realize he was spending most of his waking hours with someone who was both brilliant and looked like a better version of Christie Turlington, but fortunately her tastes ran to women rather than men. "I think she's single," I told Luisa. "Peter says she's sort of guarded about her personal life. Not shy so much as cautious."
"I wonder why that is," said Luisa. "You'd think somebody that beautiful wouldn't have anything to worry about."
I brightened. Hilary might not want my help on the romantic front, but maybe Luisa would. "You know, Peter and I could set you"
"Thank you, but I can handle my own personal life," Luisa said.
"Because we'd be happy to"
She interrupted me again. "Rachel, that's very thoughtful but not necessary."
"Since when are you so eager to get involved in other people's love lives, Rach?" asked Hilary. "First offering couples therapy to Ben and me and then trying to hook Luisa up with Abigail?"
"I need something to do. My own love life is so normal. Isn't it better to take an interest in other people's relationships than look for reasons to mess up my own?"
"Have you considered simply enjoying the normality of your own life while simultaneously staying out of the lives of others?" asked Luisa.
"I know that's what I'm supposed to do, but I have all of this free emotional energy that I used to expend on maintaining my neuroses, and now I don't know what to do with it."
"Rach, don't take this the wrong way, but you haven't exactly perfected normal yet."
Hilary was hardly in a position to be evaluating who was and who wasn't normal. "It took a while, but I'm totally normal at relationships now," I told her, trying not to sound defensive.
"Of course you are," said Luisa, but her own voice held a note of skepticism.
"While we're talking about normal, I still wouldn't describe him as such, but our old friend Iggie looks a lot better than when he lived across the hall from us sophomore year," said Hilary. "He's almost attractive, in a revenge-of-thenerds type of way."
"Huge piles of money will do that for a guy," I said, glad of the change in topic from my relative normality to somebody else's.
"Will he really be worth that much, Rachel?" asked Luisa.
"That's how things are shaping up." Winslow, Brown, the investment bank where I worked, was competing with several other firms to handle the initial public offeringIPOof Igobe, an Internet company founded by our former classmate, Igor "Iggie" Behrenz. Iggie had been the quintessential computer geek in college, except instead of being shy and dorky he'd been arrogant and dorky, so confident in his future success that he was frequently unbearable. He hadn't changed much since then, but I was still repairing the damage from a minor misunderstanding in which I'd ended up as the lead suspect in my boss's murder. Winning his IPO business offered a chance to shore up my position at the office, however unbearable Iggie might be. Our pitch was conveniently scheduled for Tuesday morning at Igobe's headquarters in Silicon Valley, and I'd invited him to the party tonight hoping it would improve our odds. "Iggie's stake will be close to a billion dollars when his company goes public," I told my friends.
Hilary whistled. Her admirer below turned to look, wondering if she was belatedly returning his show of appreciation, but her thoughts were somewhere else entirely. "A billion? As in a one with nine zeros after it?"
"That's obscene," said Luisa. Her family practically owned a small South American country, but even their fortune seemed modest in comparison.
I worked in an industry where the net worth of the top performers regularly topped the hundred-million mark, but I had to agree: a billion did seem excessive. "Everyone's looking for the next MySpace or YouTube, and a lot of people think Iggie's got it," I said. "This IPO should be the hottest deal of the year."
"You know the article I'm working on about the newest generation of Internet start-ups?" Hilary asked us. We nodded as if we did, but while I had a vague recollection of her mentioning a San Francisco-based assignment that dovetailed nicely with the party, I tended to lose track of what she was working on at any given moment. A freelance journalist, she jumped from topic to topic much as she jumped from man to man. "I've decided to make Iggie's company the focus. It shouldn't be hard to score an exclusive interview with Iggie, and I've been digging up some interesting material on Igobe."
"What does the company do?" asked Luisa.
"It develops technology that masks people's identities online," I explained. "Once you download its software to your computer, your privacy is protected when you're surfing the Web."
"Which means you can visit all the porn sites you want and nobody will ever know," translated Hilary.
"Isn't that a relief," said Luisa dryly.
"A lot of people seem to think so," I said. "And they're going to make Iggie a very rich man."
"I only remember him as the geek who was handy to have around whenever that evil bomb icon popped up on my Mac," said Luisa.
"Well, he's still a geek, but he's a billion times handier now," said Hilary, her smile mischievous. "And he might just come in handy tonight."
"Why do I have a feeling I don't want to know what you're plotting?" I asked.
"Plotting?" she asked with mock innocence. "Moi?"
"You're incorrigible," said Luisa, something she'd said to Hilary on more occasions than any of us could remember.
"And that's why you love me," she replied easily.
"Oh, is that why?" asked Luisa, but she was laughing. "I knew there had to be a reason," I said, but I was laughing, too.
A gust of frosty air rose up from the Bay just then, and we all shivered in our lightweight summer dresses. "We should get back to the party," I said. "It's freezing out here, and Peter's probably wondering where I am."
"And Ben's probably wondering where you are, Hilary," said Luisa pointedly.
"Probably," said Hilary, but the mischievous smile was still there. "More importantly, I promised Iggie a dance."

Lately I've been going through and trying to add pages for each of the Pokemon which have yet to be covered by the site, or edit the pages of those with less information by others. The main thing that's come to my attention is that with a whopping 493 different dudes to cover, and with so many different people adding new Pokemon pages or editing existing ones, it's hard to keep the format and content of the pages standardised. So I basically felt like discussing what format should be used for most/all of these pages just to keep them consistant, what information should and shouldn't be included... you know, that sort of thing.
Please note that if you don't give a shit about Pokemon and don't have anything constructive to add regarding their wikis on Giant Bomb, please hit the Forums link in the top right corner of the page now.Cheers.
Back to business. So far, here's the format I've been using for any new pages I've been adding right now which has allowed me to punch in a bunch of new information for each of the different species without babbling on about nothing:
DataNational Pokedex No: #XXX
Classification: Such and Such Pokémon
Type: Fire, Water (example)
Ability: Clear Body (example)
Height: X'XX''
Weight: XXX.X lbs
Route 2 ( Yellow)
Evolves at: Level 20
Evolutionary ChainX (Level 20) -->Y(Level 45) --> Z
I feel like there are other categories which could be added, but I haven't had the time for them yet. I'm thinking of having these included in the articles too in the future, though.
- Male/Female ratios, gender differences
- special abilities of the species (if applicable)
- Pokedex Entries for each game (already used on some articles)
- Egg Type
- EVs given? (competitive crap)
- Base Stats (more competitive crap)
- maybe learnable moves?
- sprites
- additional trivia
The problem I have is drawing the line between where Giant Bomb stops as a general gaming wiki and where it becomes something like Bulbapedia which is dedicated to stockpiling all sorts of knowledge on the games that most average fans aren't going to bother with. So I ask which features should these articles contain, which features should they avoid and perhaps whether we could agree on a single format to use for all of their concept pages.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

KILLEEN (December 23, 2013) A four-hour standoff that led to some evacuations in a Killeen neighborhood ended at around 3 p.m. Monday with the discovery that the suspect was not in the apartment building that police had surrounded.
Courtney Devonee Holloway (Police photo)
Police arrested Courtney Devonee Holloway, 36, late Monday evening in Temple.
He was identified late Monday afternoon and was wanted for a parole violation on a burglary of a habitation charge, police said.
Officers were sent to 1107 Leslie Circle at around 11 a.m. Monday after a woman reported she had been forced inside her apartment Sunday night, threatened with a gun, and held against her will, police said.
She was able to escape Monday morning, police said.
Killeen SWAT and K-9 units were sent to the scene and old FM 440 was blocked in both directions as police secured the area.
Officers think Holloway fled before the officers arrived.
Holloway is black, about 6-feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds.
He has brown hair and brown eyes.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Bell County Crime Stoppers at (254) 526-TIPS.
Tips may also be submitted online.

CSC student denies theftOctober 29,2013CSC student
denies theft
A second Castleton State College athlete has denied stealing more than $1,000 worth of merchandise from Dicks Sporting Goods.
Brandon E. Boyle, 21, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of retail theft.
Boyle, who appeared in court on a citation, remains free on court-ordered conditions of release.
He is one of six student athletes at the college charged in an alleged shoplifting ring at the sporting goods store in Rutland Town.
Earlier this month, George A. Busharis, 19, pleaded innocent to four misdemeanor charges of retail theft charges that carry a potential two-year prison term.
By contrast, Boyle, who police said worked at Dicks and aided the thefts by voiding from receipts goods that were taken but not paid for, faces up to 10 years behind bars if convicted.
The other students charged are Mark Comstock, Eric N. Cross, Dominic S. Heller and Zachary J. Howe. The case remains open but Vermont State Police said Monday that no additional charges have been brought since the six students were charged earlier this month.MORE IN This Just In

That was all of us! Who didn't soap the fountain? We soaped the pool at the country club, TPed the Rose Center and the court house. Then did donuts in the mayors front yard. Of course we were stopped and "frisked" while making the loop between Shoneys and Jacks that same Saturday night.

Oh the Blue Circle!!! I have very fond memories of that place. My first date with my husband of 42 years was a hamburger from the Blue Circle. He took me there to meet his friends as apparantly it was his hang out place. They also had good milkshakes and I had to have one every time I went there.
Since I live on Morningside, I have fond memories of Sky City. I did all of my shopping at Sky City. It was great. I also used to shop at Roses Department Store in the Plaza. I used to take my daughter clothes shopping at Three Sisters and Mr. Eiseman's store on Main Street (although the name of it escapes me right now. And my favorite grocery store was the Giant Food Market, but all of my meat came from Buffalo Trail Supermarket.
Anyone remember those blasts from the past?

Here's a change of pace, but if you are a gear-head like me you will appreciate this one.
Noe's Performance out on N. Liberty Hill Road. He's well known in the Mustang, Cobra, and Lightning circles - and still somehow a bit of a hidden-gem.
He's an excellent late-model Ford mechanic and dyno-tuner. He doesn't have a chassis dyno, but he takes the cars up to Kingsport and tunes there.
A co-worker took his truck to Scott and got 500 rear-wheel horsepower. The best 99-04 SOHC GT I have seen was 712 rwhp. The Cobra numbers go skyward from there.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention Scott's shop.

Anyone remember the Rickdy Rack Record Shack? I think it was in the downtown mall. Marty's Records ( aka head shop )? It was on the hill to the right of Long John Silvers. What about the Shotgun Arcade next to Bee Gees market. Speaking of Bee Gees, I remeber they sold draft beer by the gallon, bring your own milk jug.
What do kids do now on the weekend? I remember we always cruised Mcdonalds to Twilight Skating Ring and hung out in the Howard Brothers parking lot. After the arcades opened I spent a lot of quaters on the Star Castle game at The Shotgun Arcade.

I have another blast from the past. I was just cleaning my house and dusting my furniture that came from Weesner-Reams Furniture Store on Main Street. Anyone remember it? I also have some things from M&S sales.
My husband just reminded me that he used to get his "ears lowered" at Jim's Barber Shop downtown by Mr. Jim Whitaker. And that he bought my wedding rings from Frierson and Bible Jewelry store, which is no longer open.
There is a lot of great things gone in the name of progress, isn't there?

It's four-and-a-half hours of intimate ass fucking for fans of forbidden erotic play. In skin-tight mini-dresses and fetish heels, stunning American Latina Vicki Chase and American Asian superslut London Keyes rim each other's butthole and go ass-to-ass with a long, black double-dong. They take turns getting sodomized by Mr. Pete, tasting his prick ass-to-mouth and sharing a creamy kiss. Next up, luscious and leggy MILF India Summer works the head of a huge glass toy past her taut sphincter and takes a POV-style reaming from the director. Athletic, tattooed bombshell Juelz Ventura loves getting her tight, toned booty fucked hard. After all three holes have been stuffed with Xander Corvus' throbbing cock meat, Juelz enjoys a messy mouthful of cum. Blonde, bespectacled bad girl Bailey Blue reminisces about her early anal experiences. She sucks the huge cock of Latin stud Toni Ribas, gets relentlessly reamed and splattered with a faceful of hot jism. Finally, petite Russian blonde Lindsey Olsen treats Kevin to a private hotel room romp where no hole is off-limits. The deluxe 2-disc DVD version contains an additional 18 minutes of bonus interviews with the cast. "Anal Corruption #2" is bad-ass!

Wow! Breathtaking! FYI thapa.birendra and F908X980: That's a majestic view of the Shishapangma massif (as translation of Chinese title) from the Tibetan Plateau i.e. northern side of the Himalayas; shrouded in clouds (main summit is not seen) and with Buddhistic prayer flags at foreground. It's name means in Tibetan "crest rising over meadows" and is, at 8,013 m elevation, the 14. highest mountain at all, i.e. the lowest of the eight-thousanders. Like + Fav this pic.
Guau!! bonito rojo!!
Thapa: I see some power transmission lines along the left side of your picture. This valley, though, is off the direct line between Thankot Deurali and Hetauda, so I am assuming the ropeway did NOT follow this valley.
Anyway, I can't see any towers in the satellite images.
Did you read the amusing article by Mark Zimmerman riding the ropeway in the Nepali Times?
Max: Yes, I did. There are still some sections prominently sitting atop hill. That actually gives you a sort of pain seeing them quietly looking over you..that was so much a part of our childhood fascination.
The ropeway passses over Kulakhani reservoior, which I did not photograph unfortunately. I shall send you couple of photos of the remaining lines. Nexe week I am biking over Chandragiri hill and follow a trail over to Bajrabarahi before climibing to Daman from Palung. I am sure I shall encounter part of it on the way.
(But, who knows, you may be right..they may have already dismantled it in past years since I visited)
Here is another article discussing the reasons why the 1964-1991 ropeway from Hetauda to Kathmandu failed:
I am guessing now that when I took the picture of the ropeway tower in 1990 it was still in operation, although not running that day.
Erika,molte grazie.Ciao Leo.
Thanks leo1383...this photo is taken from the southern ridge of Kathmandu valley in November. Further east from this point offers a panaromic view of the mountains from Dhaulagiri in the midwest Nepal to Makalu in the east. This must be only among the few points in Kathmandu valley from where a distinct bulk of Mount Everest can be seen in a clear day....greetings from Nepal!!!
