"I loved [Heidi's audio book]. The poems are so incredibly powerful -- it's amazing to me how the words are able to capture that depth of pure love, its essence and multidimensional qualities. The flute music behind it [provides] the perfect touch; a beautiful soundtrack that adds even more life to the words." - Jeffrey Marks, medium and author

Crossing the Rubicon by Heidi Connolly
Winner of honorable mention awards at the 2015 NY Book Fesitval, the 2015 Paris Book Festival, and the 2014 Southern California Book Festival in the category of spiritual nonfiction.

"Crossing the Rubicon refers to the event in 49 BC when Julius Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River, signifying a point of no return. The poetry in this book also signifies the point of no return in the relationship of a couple, one alive, and one passed into the next life. I found it both haunting and remarkable that Connolly first started writing her poems when bidden, and that she knows the words are coming from Randy. Randy, says Connolly, was ever the poet, and could be expected to compose a poem for a special occasion.
"Connolly lays the poems out strategically: first one of Randy's, then one of hers (although her poems are helped into being by his spirit, she acknowledges) and together, the poems form a conversation of love that truly is eternal. It is hard to read because each writer wants to be with the other. Yet it is hard not to feel in Randy's messages that he is telling her, albeit before he died, to keep on living, and that the transformation from one life to the other takes time, as it does for the caterpillar to turn into a butterfly.
"I loved what she had to say in In the Aftermath. It gave me much food for thought. I also loved the Happy Valentine's Day wish from both authors, prompting me to realize that this is the perfect book for all writers and lovers. Heidi Connolly's artwork is beautiful, matching the sentiments in the poetry."
For many years, Harvard Girl Word Services has passionately offered traditional writing, editing, and self-publishing services along with coaching and workshop facilitation. I have often been told by clients how much they appreciate my ability to interpret and express precisely what they want to say through words and design. I cannot imagine a more gratifying endorsement. (If you would like to see a short, impactful video that expresses my philosophy about communicating in words, click here).
I feel blessed to love the work I do, and to be able to do it so well. And while I know there will always be another writer, editor, or consultant, I have also learned (as my husband liked to say) that "there's no one quite like Heidi."
The launching of this new website coincides with the advent of several new Harvard Girl services in addition to my more traditional ones. New offerings include workshops of a different ilk, such asWriting with Conscious Intentand Writing in Resonance, which focus on living and writing authentically, as well as audio book narration and improvisational, guided flute compositions that are directly from spirit, through spirit, to spirit and embedded with the energy of unconditional love.
One for one, these services fit perfectly, if perhaps unconventionally, into the Harvard Girl Word (& now Music) Services paradigm, since each is founded on my philosophy of incorporating love, joy, and integrity in everything I do through the vehicle of my two favorite means of communication: music and words.
A close friend recently summed it up nicely: "Your work incorporates all the passions of your intellectual, professional, and soul life, Heidi. What could be more perfect?"

Skip to comments.Apocalypse not now: The Rapture fails to materialise
Posted on 05/21/2011 6:45:00 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
click here to read article
There was one false prophet who said "Islam is a relgion of peace."
Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia (not the best source in the world, but convenient)...
"Family Radio (aka Family Stations Inc.) began obtaining FM broadcasting licenses on commercial frequencies early in FM's history, and by 2006, was ranked 19th among top broadcast companies in number of radio stations owned. Currently, Family Radio's affiliates in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and San Francisco are on prime commercial frequencies and the licenses of these stations alone may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if sold today."
Family Radio/Family Stations has no commercials and is funded entirely by donations.
Monty Python did this sketch years later in "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball" also with some other actors.
Thanks, I'll say a prayer that someone who speaks the true Gospel might in light of these events now take over that platform.
There will be a lot of surprised people on that day! You have the right to your opinion of course but I would hardly call Paul an American huckster
I bought 3 matching end of the world rapture suits with the full "CAMPING" gear
Maybe so few were called that nobody noticed.
Sorry for the error but I finally found the sketch and it was from the original "The Secret Policeman's Ball" ( 1979 ). Heavy traffic at this link for obvious reasons.
Me too. I think we do well to begin by remembering Jesus' command to come to Him as a child. He made salvation available, and so clear and understandable, that children can believe.
When men elevate themselves and profess some higher understanding (thus making others depend on them instead of Christ) we can pretty sure it is not of God.
God Bless.
because the server where this page is located isnt responding.
It would be funny if a big group of, say, college kids, did a flash mob "planking" party in a highly visible public square. They could be the ones who weren't raptured. (If you don't know what "planking" is, here's a very funny youtube demonstration...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRHnTFesv7c).
Very well said, and the litmus test I often apply myself. Are the teaching the Word, as it is written, or applying heir own self serving addendums. Thanks for your chat, and may the Lord Bless you in all ways today as well.
The reaction of Apocalypse Today devotees to reality will indoubtedly be like the reaction of socialists to the collapse of the Soviet Union and Marxism as a serious ideology - denial.
Cognitive dissonance works for everyone - a very democratic delusion!
That would be a clue that this guy is no prophet. I wonder what excuse he will make this time?
Maybe the Rapture occurred and he is one of the damned?
Oh well...there's still Dec 21, 2012...LOL
The SF Bay will ROCK at 4:00pm when the Giants play the A's.
While the vast majority of Christians in the world do not believe in this Dispensationalist concept of the Rapture, it seems like the majority of Freepers do. It comes from a novel mis-reading of Paul's letter to the Thessalonians.
I would also point out that it is also inconsistent with the long history of persecution and the Christian faith through history. Christians have given witness to their faith by accepting death and suffering since the time St Stephen was stoned to death. Jesus, who endured great suffering on our part, told us us the 'servant is no better than the master' so we should expect to share in this suffering too. To expect that somehow Christians should be whisked out of the world to avoid tribulation at the end seems nonsense.
Our time in this world is but a blink of an eye compared to life in the next. If we can keep faith in the promise of everlasting life from a good, eternal, almighty God, we can endure any pain or trouble in this world.
I wasn't aware of this prediction, but that would certainly be a pretty obvious missed prophecy that his followers would have a hard time dismissing.
'We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen,' said Camping. 'Theres going to be a huge earthquake thats going to make the big earthquake in Japan seem like a Sunday School picnic...I'll probably try to be very near a TV or a radio or something,' he said. 'I'll be interested in what's happening on the other side of the world as this begins.' dailymail.co.uk
There was another televised interview with him I saw last week where he described it in more detail, saying there would be rolling earthquakes all across the world.
I'm really curious to see how he will explain this one away and hold onto his followers. Last time, he said it was a mathematical error, for which he apologized. I don't think he can use that one twice.
Pastor Tom Mullins on end of the world...great sermon.
I said the Lord could have decided to return today.....or tomorrow....or next week....
We don't know the hour....
...the Bible states that clearly....
...I would say Camping is a false prophet....but if he is a simpleton, or misguided man....I feel some sympathy ....
..yes, Christians might be the brunt of jokes because of this man....
..but Christians are brunt of jokes whether this man is around or not---have you watched any TV or movies lately?.....
.. no one will be joking on the real Judgement Day
It's true, the Rapture did happen! I'm posting from heaven right now...
Gotta say, it's great here. And there are 72 virgins (holding beer steins in each hand) for every guy. That said, I haven't seen a Muslim yet...
(heh heh heh)
8:34PM Here in Georgia. Nobody raptured that I know. Camping failed again - Surprise, Surprise.
The believer that spent his life savings in preparation for the end will be nothing but broke.
Did anybody Rupture?
RE:That would be a clue that this guy is no prophet. I wonder what excuse he will make this time?
His previous excuse was that he miscalculated. He can always use the same excuse again. There will still be fools who will believe him regardless.
Which Paul?
Ron Paul??
I was talking about Huckabee the Huckster.
I'll find out at Church today ;)
Maybe God felt he could not compete with the great Barry...THE LIVING MESSIAH!
I know little about the man beyond occasionally listening to his radio program. However, the man has a long history of setting himself in opposition to other Christians, churches and denominations.
In addition, I remember back in the early 1990's when he was hawking his book about the supposed end of the world in 1994. If the man had any genuine humility, and if he was willing to accept correction, he would have sincerely repented at that time, instead of making excuses, which was what he actually did.
Thus I doubt he can be defended as simply "misguided"; rather, he has ceaselessly promoted his unorthodox ideas all these years and convinced more than a few people to bankroll him.

Just want to inform everyone that I think the Line Break Removal feature can make the Comments Vote plugin not work. I have test it with and without it to check. I am not sure why but I hope maybe there is an answer and other people will not be surprised by this. Do not remove line breaks and the plugin will work normally so it should not be a big deal. Just curious why it will not work. Is it a Javascript or AJAX issue?
Anyway, will maybe change to Comment Rating plugin soon. Hope there will not be any problems with that.

1. Cool, hip, trendy. Corruption of "Of the hook", which meant that something was cool because you'd have to immediately take your phone "of the hook" to tell all your friends about it. Basically, this original thread of meaning has been completely lost with the introduction of the "eezy" (common to a lot of slang at the moment).

Imagine being able to live forever, or at least to live to 100. Imagine the limitless time, and all that could be accomplished. If you've ever read the book or seen the film Tuck Everlasting, then you're familiar with the notion of what limitless time could mean. In this story, a family discovers a spring that offers eternity upon drinking its water—and then no harm can come. No illness can ravage their lives; there is no cancer that can manifest and destroy. But that was an imagined world, because in reality, there is no way around the fact that we age and that cancer exists.
But, why do we age? And, why does cancer creep in, especially in those who are older? It's a fact that cancer risk increases with age, and there are studies that give plausible reasons for this. Our body tissue changes over time: skin wrinkles, age spots appear, and so on. The mechanisms that exist in young bodies to stave off illness and disease, like cancer, begin to deteriorate as we age. Healthy cells can only function when the condition of their landscape—body tissue—is also healthy. When the tissue ages, the landscape is altered and the cells can no longer function in their young and healthy ways. In a sense, it becomes a little like trying to put a squared shape into a circle—it won't fit. These are often the breeding grounds for cancer cells.
Cancer is a tricky thing, because it can develop in even the healthiest person. But there are some things you can do to help lower your cancer risk. Here are some useful tips to stay cancer-free and maybe even live to 100. Think of them as rules to live by.
Living a healthy lifestyle will not only keep you cancer free, but it puts the reins back in your hands so that you have more control over how well you age. Living to 100 isn't an imaginary idea anymore. With the right measures, there's no telling what you can do.

Skip to comments.Mississippi Most Conservative State, D.C. Most Liberal
Posted on 02/03/2012 1:37:18 PM PST by Islander7
PRINCETON, NJ -- Mississippi remains the most conservative state in the union, and, along with Utah, Wyoming, and Alabama, is one of four states with 50% or more of its population identifying as conservative. At the other end of the ideological spectrum, 40% District of Columbia residents and 30% of Massachusetts residents identify as liberal; all other states have a liberal population of 26% or less.
(Excerpt) Read more at gallup.com ...
Liberals might sarcastically ask — if Mississippi is the most conservative state, why is it also the poorest (in terms of average income)?
See here:
Dc is a State?
Tie goes to the runner.
Also - in DC, the term "liberal" in reality means "Radical Progressive / Socialist."
Where is Maryland? Oh come on... that is what my state is known for. I guess that means the libtards will just have to work harder..... sigh.
D.C must be one of the 57 states.
Vermont isn't in the Top 10 most liberal?!
Why does everyone get that wrong?
There's 58 states, 0bama had one more to visit ;o)
Unfortunately, most folks who self-identify as "moderates" are leftists who are too gutless to tell the pollsters that the are "liberals": otherwise one can't account for the 'Rats winning any state-wide races outside Massachusetts without running DLC-type candidates. In no state other than Massachusetts do self-identified "liberals" outnumber self-identified conservatives. (We'll ignore DC.)
Let the liberals snicker to themselves as they pay twice as much and get half of what conservatives pay in low cost of living areas.
They can continue to live like rats stacked in cages while I breath in the crisp, clean air of freedom in wide open country living.
Ahhhh!!! the air is clear!!!
If it wasn't for Atlanta, Georgia would be right up there with the best of them. Also Florida, North of Ocala would fit right in with the most conservative.
Unfortunately, the rest of Florida is liberal as about any place.
Interesting. I would have guessed Utah as #1. Not sure why, but MISS kind of a surprise for me.
In spite of that map/chart I still enjoy living in the Northeast.
Go figure!
Now I know why I like living here so much. Add me to the ping please.
But I know...Oklahoma was the only state in the nation where every county was lost by Obama in 2008
Just from seeing pictures, the Northeast is really beautiful country. Unfortunately it is infested with liberals.
I have some in laws who live in upstate New York. They are even more conservative than me. I am sure there are many others but overall it must be awful.
The ex-Great State of Texas isn't in the Conservative list because we've been invaded with liberals from California and the northern states. Throw in the voting illegals and what have you got...
Yes, liberals would make that point. I would say that one reason is largest black population percentage-wise of any state. A very small reason might be Mississippi's refusal in at least some matters to buckle under to PC and being willing to pay the price-ie, the threats of boycotts due to the flag vote. Mississippi voted to keep the flag. But the PC appeasers in Mississippi are catching up (Colonel Reb, Dixie).
Those libs might be interested, or not, to know that in spite of Mississippi's low income, it's also the state which for some years has been number 1 in charitable giving. I recall that a Northeast state comes in last.
You betcha! This primary race would have started out entirely different.
Here is the latest list of MOST and LEAST charitable states:
I sure thought I was on your ping list FRiend.
There is a petition circulating (Inititave #37) that could require a ballot inititive that if passed would add an amendment to the State Constitution that would require "Colonel Reb"in his traditional costumed appearance, to be visible as an active mascot on the sidelines of University of Missippi athletic events. It would also require the logo to be on helmets uniforms, letterheads,and practically all university publications.
Three things we love in Mississippi, Jesus, fried catfish and sweet tea.
I love Mississippi.
I wonder what changed, since Mississippi was in the top spot for some years running, if I recall correctly. Well at least it's still not in the least generous, not too bad for the poorest state.
I love Mississippi too:) Long may we remain under the radar, it's never a good thing when we get media attemtion.
Another bullshit poll by the liberal monkey grinders at Gallup.
In the South Carolina 2010 primaries, every RINO was thrown out of office. In the 2010 general election, every rat was thrown out of national office in SC except for one. Statewide, no rat holds office. The state legislature is dominated by Republicans. SC has a republican governor.
And SC doesn't even get a mention in this crap poll.
You want to see a mindbender regarding Missippy?
Here ya' go!
I live in brain dead Oregon, and can't wait to get back to Mississippi.
BTW, Mississippi might be considered the poorest state, it's also the state with one of the lowest costs of living, and the most charitable state per capita in the country.
And, SeekandFind...I didn't see anything in your link about "per capita" charitable giving.
I've been looking at different polls, they all seem to have different (but not drastically so) results, but Mississippi is never near the bottom in any of them. The one that has placed Mississippi at the top for consecutive years is the "Generosity Index". Also, Mississippi comes in at the top for "most religious state". Of course that would be a negative result to a liberal.
Myself, I don't care where we come in these polls, the best thing for Mississippi is our usual state of being when no one remembers our existence :)
My great home state of Mississippi is only 53.4% conservative?? We've got to do better than this! When I grew up there, it was at least 80% conservative.
I'm presently living out of state but sad to see this decline. Still, Mississippi and its people are the best!
I live in Oregon. These people are education snobs. I guess it's okay to pick on Mississippi, as they do here. However, the information in the link shows that Oregon, and most of the Northwest, is brain dead where it concerns science.
Mississippi...not so much.
I was so happy to see this!
I'm building another home in Mississippi. I told my husband and family that I'm not going to die here. Given the atmosphere here, my husband is getting excited about being able to spend time in a true blue red state.
I've watched Oregon become a living hell because of the influx of libs from SoCal. It was a very nice state when I moved her 20 years ago. Since then, a lot of libs sold their homes at exorbitant prices in SoCal, moved here and bought mansions. They've driven up real estate costs a great deal, though the land use laws here haven't helped, either.
Don't you fret. I'm not telling anybody about MS, unless I can't help it. I will let them think we are a poor, inner city type state, and smile on the way out. ;o)
In my neck of the woods, most out of state retirees are Navy. I like those kind of n00bs. They are there, not just because of the base, but because they love living there.

SAO PAULO (AP) - FIFA says Brazilians have decided to name the 2014 World Cup ball "Brazuca," an informal word often used to describe national pride in the South American country.
FIFA says more than one million people voted to select the ball's name, with 70 percent picking the term.
Soccer's governing body says the name "symbolizes emotion, pride and goodwill to all," mirroring Brazil's "approach to football."
"Brazuca" is also often used as the nickname given to Brazilians living outside the country, including the hundreds of footballers playing abroad.
Adidas, the official World Cup ball supplier since 1970, says two other names had made the final list - Bossa Nova and Carnavalesca.
FIFA said Sunday it was the first time fans were directly involved in the naming of the World Cup ball, which is still being developed and tested with several clubs and associations worldwide.
The Brazuca likely will be the first World Cup ball equipped with goal-line technology, which will be introduced by FIFA at the seven-team Club World Cup in Japan in December. FIFA's goal is to have the mechanism fully tested ahead of next year's Confederations Cup, which will also take place in Brazil.

The Many Changing Faces of Antwerp
There is something Scandinavian, or even Swiss, about Antwerp. Luxuriantly hip and oddly austere, it seems like a distant cousin to the larger, messier cities of Amsterdam, London and Paris, only a few hours away by high-speed train, and in some other family entirely from ramshackle Brussels, which you could probably walk to in less than a day.
The hard facts of history and geography, which stipulate that Antwerp is Belgium's second-largest city, get wobblier as the country approaches 300 days without a government. Walking through the center of town, which can seem entirely given over to clothing boutiques and boutique chocolatiers, I wondered where to look for evidence of national decline, and went instead to a symbol of Flanders' regional prowess, the city's thriving Toneelhuis theater, across the street from the local branch of Louis Vuitton.
Once known for its fashion designers, Antwerp is now also known for its theater directors. Founded by Luk Perceval, who currently oversees Hamburg's prestigious Thalia Theater, the Toneelhuis these days is run by Guy Cassiers, the son, as it happens, of a famous postwar Flemish comedian. When Mr. Cassiers isn't bringing his Antwerp productions to places like New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music or directing the new Ring cycle at La Scala, he is here working with his multimedia, multicultural team, who likes to turn classic works of literature into uncanny works of contemporary theater.
How has Belgium's state of affairs affected the state of his theater? "Not at all," he says. The political crisis, he says, "is not a problem for us as a company—it's a problem for the country." Current events aren't directly the stuff of Mr. Cassiers's work. "Theater is a slow medium," he says. "There are other media that are faster."
This fall, Mr. Cassiers will take up what could be called Belgium's national public memory, when he stages an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novella, "Heart of Darkness," inspired by Conrad's experiences in the Congo Free State at the end of the 19th century.
"Heart of Darkness" is "known" in Belgium, says Mr. Cassiers, but "it's not known that it's our history." The novella tells the story of an English captain named Charles Marlow, who, on an African mission for a Belgian trading company, serves witness to the deeds of a demonic ivory trader named Kurtz. The story conjures up images of atrocities associated with Belgian-controlled slave labor. However, Mr. Cassiers doesn't plan to use any of these images in his production. "The only image," he says, will be of his lead actor "playing all the characters." Kurtz, he explains, "is Marlow."
As it turns out, Mr. Cassiers himself played more than one role when he was a graphic design student at Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he was only a few years behind the famous Antwerp Six, the group of fashion designers who put the city on the map. "I was on the catwalk," he says, of the school's landmark fashion shows in the early 1980s.
"We threw parties," he says. Those parties were a blending of fashion students' costumes and his sets, he says—and "a first step towards making theater."
A linguistic problem
"I'm from Brussels," says Karen Van Godtsenhoven, the young curator at MoMu, Antwerp's fashion museum. As her surname suggests, her native language is Flemish—spoken, she admits, with "a bit of a French accent."
She is busy putting together the museum's new show about the history of knitwear—perfectly titled "Unravel"—which opens on March 16. But I'm curious about her own recent experiences, caught between the opposing knots of Belgian identity.
"I thought it would be nonexistent," she says, of what has turned out to be her linguistic problem since she moved here a few years ago. Her slight French accent, she says, means that she is actually considered a foreigner, paired at parties with true foreigners who don't speak Flemish at all. "Antwerp is a port city," she says, but the spirit is that of a more closed kind of place. "You're either from inside the city," she says, "or from outside it."
The weight of the past
Long ago, Antwerp was ahead of its time. In its golden age, in the 16th century, it preceded Amsterdam and London as the modern world's first great financial capital. These days it seems to be pioneering a kind of post-modern take on a pre-modern phenomenon—the small city-state, whose style and language surround and separate it, like a moat.
Looking for traces of that golden age, I wandered into the Plantin-Moretus Museum, which commemorates Antwerp's other 16th-century duty, as a publishing capital. Now a preserve of pure Flemishness, Antwerp was once a polyglot's paradise. The museum's five tons of early-modern type were capable of printing books in everything from Dutch to Aramaic.
No sensible Belgian would speak French here now, but back in the days of Antwerp's heroic French printer, Christophe Plantin (1520-89), people in this building changed languages as often as fashion students now change their clothes.

Hi everyone-
Over the last few days, some of my users have been getting redirected to a fake malware site. I've scanned my site using Sucuri and I've used Google Analytics and nothing is showing up.
I installed the Exploit Scanner plugin but it keeps getting stuck at 20,100 files, so that's not particularly useful.
I'm not particularly brilliant with code, so looking through my site's code would be sort of like looking at Greek for me. C
Can any of you offer some suggestions for me?
Thanks so much!

GameStop reports Q3 sales of $1.9 billion, 50% of profit comes from used games
GameStop makes lots of money, that much is certain. But apparently, according to the firm's Q3 financials, the company earned $1.9 billion in sales for the three-months ending October 30, which is up nine percent compared to the same period last year when it reported $1.83 billion in sales.
Overall sales for the firm were up nine percent over 2009 when GameStop reported sales of $1.83 billion.
Net earnings were up 4.8 percent to $54.7 million for the quarter, with used games hitting $528.million with a profit of $250.2 million, compared to 2009's pre-owned worth of $507.7 million with a profit of $240 million.
This means that over 50 percent of company profit can be attributed to used game sales.
Holy Toledo, Batman.
Thanks, MCV.

John Waters Argues For Murderer's Release
Forty years ago, in August 1969, Charles Manson and his cult of followers gained national attention when they embarked on a brutal murder spree in California.
Film director John Waters was one of those fascinated with the murders. In 1985, while working on a Rolling Stone article about Manson, Waters contacted Leslie Van Houten, a Manson follower who was serving a life sentence for her participation in the killing of Leno and Rosemary La Bianca. Van Houten, who was 19 at the time of the crime, declined the interview request, but she and the director struck up a friendship.
Waters devotes a chapter to Van Houten in his upcoming book Role Models, about people who have inspired him. He argues that Van Houten, who now takes full responsibility for her part in the murders and has led an exemplary life in prison, deserves to be released on parole.

|Los Angeles Police Detective I
Vampire hunter
Kate Lockley is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the television series Angel, portrayed by Elisabeth Röhm. Kate first appears in the episode "Lonely Hearts". She is a young, skeptical detective for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Kate first meets Angel while investigating a case undercover involving the brutal murders of several patrons of D'Oblique, a popular singles bar. After encountering Angel as he leaves the site of another murder, she instantly suspects him to be the killer, unaware that Angel had actually been attempting to stop the real killer (a parasitic demon looking for the perfect host). Angel escapes, and Kate becomes obsessed with finding him to the point that she searches the Angel Investigations offices without a warrant. After she is attacked by the real killer and saved by Angel, she helps him to bring the killer down. Kate subsequently clears Angel of all charges, and Angel offers his services to her whenever she needs them.
Kate's subsequent encounters with Angel lead her to trust him as a helpful stranger, and she, in turn, assists him, using her position on the police force to provide him with information about some of his cases. Furthermore, she finds herself attracted to the enigmatic private investigator, although she won't admit it, even to herself.
Kate was raised by her widowed father, Trevor, who is also a police officer, who taught her to put her emotions aside and to take care of herself at all costs. When she discovers that Angel is really a vampire and subsequently discovers his past as Angelus before his soul is restored, her black and white view of the world is shaken, and she delves into the darker side of Los Angeles. On one such investigation, Kate finds her father's lifeless body- completely drained of blood.
After her father's death, Kate struggles with her relationship with Angel; she undeniably has feelings for him, but blames him in part for failing to keep other vampires away from her father (despite knowing about Angel needing to be invited into a dwelling by the resident). She subsequently becomes increasingly adversarial toward him by taking her newfound hatred of all vampires out on him. Obsessed with ridding the city of "his kind," Kate is the first to investigate any calls matching the "otherworldly" profile, even if it's out of her jurisdiction. She develops an intense dislike for Wolfram & Hart and the clients the law firm represents, but at the same time shows an equal resentment to Angel for exposing her to this world.
Her obsession with supernatural cases becomes her own undoing: after Angel attacks a cop who had brought back deceased police officers as zombies in an attempt to cut down on crime- unaware or unconcerned that the zombies use excessive force to deal with relatively minor crimes such as jaywalking-, she is eventually fired from the LAPD. Kate calls Angel and blames him for ruining her life, then attempts suicide by taking prescription pills with hard liquor. After he has his fabled epiphany, Angel goes to Kate's apartment. He breaks down her door and holds her under a cold shower. After her life is saved, she thanks him and then harshly orders him to leave.
That evening, Kate and Angel come to a reckoning and she forgives him, believing there is a higher power at work and they're not alone in the never-ending battle against the forces of darkness. When Angel asks her why, she replies that she never invited him into her apartment.
She never appeared again on the series, possibly due to Elisabeth Röhm joining the cast of Law & Order.[1] However, in one episode soon after her last appearance Angel mentions to his friends that they no longer have a friend on the police force.[2]
Kate reappears in the seventh issue of Angel: After the Fall, saving Connor from a group of demons. She is unaware that Connor is Angel's son. She established an antiquities business after her departure from the LAPD, and has been using her business connections to learn more about the supernatural and the occult. She has stocked her hideout with an arsenal of ancient to modern weapons. She is seen leaving to blow up a demon army. This actual event takes place the same night as "Not Fade Away."
Some time later, after L.A. was restored to normal, she once again encounters Angel and reopens Angel Investigations. However, there are several difficulties due to Angel's new fame status (since many clients are actually fans and admirers rather than people who need help), plus an upheaval in demonic activity. The current Angel Investigations consists of Angel, Kate, Connor and Gwen (although her status is questionable since Connor wants her gone due to her recent betrayal).
In the Angel & Faith series, it is briefly mentioned by Gunn that Kate is back with the LAPD leading their new supernatural investigations unit, as the existence of the mystical world has since become public knowledge following the subsequent events of "Chosen" and "Not Fade Away".
Writing and acting[edit]
- Kate was originally conceived as a much darker character. In the unproduced episode "Corrupt," she was a detective deep undercover as a prostitute and addicted to drugs.
- Elisabeth Röhm said "I thought Kate was this incredibly powerful young woman who is fantastic at what she does, but at the same time, just a girl. There's a great line in Notting Hill when Julia Roberts says 'I'm just a girl wanting a boy to love me.' I think that's a part of Kate and a part of everyone who is really great at what they do. They're actually just the girl or boy who's real and has the same problems as everybody else. She's this tough, smart cookie, but she just wants to be loved and she doesn't know how to do it."[3]
- Röhm on the relationship between Kate and Angel: "I think that Kate and Angel are kind of meant for each other but in a way, you can see them become best friends."[3]
- About the character's departure: "Well, I was the first season of the show, I was part of the original cast and loved doing it, but by the second season, I had my own show on TNT called "Bull" so I had to go back & forth between my show & recurring on ANGEL, and then after that I was offered LAW & ORDER and Joss & I decided it would be impossible for me to go from New York (where I was a regular on L&O) to Los Angeles for ANGEL. And we had a great opportunity for it to end dramatically, and it was very satisfying for both of us."

I am serving an ASP.NET application from IIS 7 but we are experiencing some weird cookie issues. The code works fine in other environments so we are assuming this is specific to this server (related question).
We have been looking at the http headers returned and someone pointed out that the date http header is showing the 1st of Jan rather than today's date (so far it always shows that date regardless of what the current date is). The system clock is set correctly (and we can print out the current time/date via DateTime.Now correctly as well) so we can't work out why it's now working. Does anyone have any ideas? Is this a red-herring?
Thanks, James

I just launched a new site for a client and am using Redirection to handle the 301's.
In my client's old site they had a ton of files named index.html scattered throughout various directories. For example:
However, Google has indexed these pages like this:
My client wants to keep the sub-directories in place because a lot of their traffic is driven by image searches and they'd rather not have to do a whole lot of image redirects. They want to keep the old image files in the sub-directories.
We have redirects in place from domain.com/subdirectory to domain.com/new-url-path , but the problem is that when the sub-directory still exists on the server, linking to domain.com/subdirectory causes a "forbidden" error rather than doing the redirect.
When we remove the sub-directory from the server then the redirect works just fine.
Is there a way to keep these old sub-directories in place and have the redirect work as well?
Thanks in advance.

SOURCE: Stivale, Charles J. "Duty, Desire, and Dream: Maupassant's 'La Petite Roque.'" Journal of Narrative Technique 20, no. 2 (spring 1990): 120-33.
In the following essay, Stivale explores the role and function of narrative desire in "La Petite Roque."
A widower overcome by a maddening passion that results in the rape and murder of an innocent adolescent; the power and connivance of local officials who unwittingly succeed in thwarting apprehension of the criminal; the victim's phantasmic "return," the murderer's remorseful will-to-confess, and a rural functionary's stubborn efficiency that forces the killer's ultimate demise—such are the essential elements that constitute the narrative matrix of Guy de Maupassant's short story, "La Petite Roque" (translated as "Little Louise Roque"). Produced midway through Maupassant's prodigious career (in November-December 1885), this tale stands...

Oh, about the fork. Yeah, it didn't move much. My son would have done better to ride a rigid fork. When I got home, I checked the air pressure and it was set at 40psi. The chart calls for 20-40 kg at 30-40psi. I guess my son is 28kg. So maybe I'll try the 30psi setting. Although it seems more like he can't blow past the initial stiction in the fork.
I can only hope it'll break in over time and that my son will get a little bigger and ride more aggressively soon...

Strawberry Kiwi Pavlova
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
A simple recipe dressed up! Developed for RSC #14. I used Creme Fraiche #83813 for the creme fraiche.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cream filling
- 1⁄2 cup marshmallow creme
- 1⁄2 cup creme fraiche
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 kiwi fruit, peeled & sliced thinly
- 1 cup sliced strawberry
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries, minced
- 2 tablespoons nutella
- Preheat the oven to 275°F
- Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form, adding sugar 1TB at a time. Beat in vanilla.
- On foil or parchment lined baking sheet, spread meringue into a 10" circle, pushing up edges to form a well in the middle. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until firm to the touch. Turn off oven & leave meringue inside to dry.
- Remove meringue to a serving platter.
- While cream is whipping, combine marshmallow creme & creme fraiche. Fold in whipped cream. Spread this mixture over the cooled meringue.
- Decoratively arrange the sliced kiwi & strawberries. Drizzle nutella over top & sprinkle with dried cranberries.

This is my favorite RSC #14 entry (that I tried at least ;))! I am so glad I went ahead and made this! The creamy filling was perfect, just the right amount of sweet. The fruit was delicious, but I would have used more than the recipe stated and the nutella on top was the best part! I will use less sugar and vanilla in the meringue next time, but that is just a personal preferance :) Good luck in the contest!
Jostlori, it is really important to allow the Pavlova to cool completely in the oven with the door shut, or if your room is warm, with the oven door ajar. This will take many hours, so I usually leave it in there over night. If it is removed to soon, you will get the result that you did. Your location and humidity should not matter, however if removed to soon the humidity will have a serious detrimental effect on the meringue.

This is a fabulous recipe Elmotoo. I replaced the Nutella with grated chocolate as I am not fond of Nutella. It turned out to be a perfect and tasty variation on the traditional Pavlova. :) Thank you for sharing.
I'm thinking this recipe deserves the five stars, because the flavors were great (especially liked the yummy filling!), but it didn't turn out for me. Most likely, because I live in Costa Rica on the ocean, and I think the humidity affected the results. It looked great after the initial baking, but it turned out gooey and chewey after the cool down. Still, I put it together and while it' wasn't the best looking dessert I've ever made, it was tasty. I agree with Chef Jean that the Nutella was a great addition! The only change I made was using some sliced and toasted almonds on top, since I didn't have any cranberries. Thanks, Elmotoo. I'll try this recipe again when I go to California for Christmas!

Mehdi Nemmouche was detained on Friday (local time) after a
random check at a bus terminal in the French city of
Marseille showed he was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle, another
gun and ammunition similar to those used in the shooting last
weekend, French and Belgian prosecutors said.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters Nemmouche had
been carrying a video where a voice resembling his own claims
responsibility for the shootings.
European governments have become increasingly worried that
citizens going to fight in Syria will import Islamist
militancy on their return.
Nemmouche served five jail terms in France before spending
most of 2013 in Syria, Molins said.
"During his last stay in jail, he was noticed for extremist
(Islamist) proselytism," Molins said. "He spent over a year
in Syria, where he seems to have joined the ranks of
combatant groups, jihadist terrorist groups."
Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw told a separate
news conference that the Kalashnikov had been wrapped in a
flag with the inscriptions of the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL), an ultra-conservative militant group
reconstituted from an earlier incarnation of al Qaeda and
active in Syria and Iraq.
An Israeli couple and a French woman were killed when a man
entered the Jewish Museum in the centre of the Belgian
capital on May 24 and opened fire with a Kalashnikov. A
Belgian man remains in critical condition in hospital.
A 30-second video clip from the museum's security cameras
released by police showed a man wearing a dark cap,
sunglasses and blue jacket entering the building, taking a
rifle out of a bag and shooting into a room before calmly
walking out.
The attack evoked memories of the killing of four Jews in
2012 at a school in France by Mohamed Merah, a gunman
inspired by al Qaeda.
After Nemmouche's arrest was announced, President Francois
Hollande said France was determined to do all it could to
prevent radicalised youths carrying out attacks.
"We will monitor those jihadists and make sure that, when
they come back from a fight that is not theirs, and that is
definitely not ours, ... they cannot do any harm," he told
reporters. "We will fight them, we will fight them, and we
will fight them."
He said about 700 French jihadists were either in Syria or
had returned to France after fighting there, a major concern
in a country that is home to both Europe's largest Jewish and
Muslim communities, the latter mostly of North African
France announced new policies in April that aimed to prevent
young Muslims becoming radicalised and to stop French
citizens joining the Syrian civil war.
Nemmouche is being held on suspicion of murder, attempted
murder and possession of weapons, all in the context of
terrorist activity, Molins said, adding that the suspect had
made no comment on the accusations.
Soulifa Badaoui, who has worked as a lawyer for Nemmouche the
suspect in the past, told BFM TV that he was "not observant
at all" at the time.
Belgian federal magistrate Erik Van der Sypt told Reuters
that Belgium would seek Nemmouche's extradition from France.
European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor urged more
action to stop hate crimes.
"...For too long, authorities in Europe have acted speedily
after the fact," he said in a statement. "It is now time for
all ... to make the prevention of these vicious crimes a top
Security around all Jewish institutions in Belgium was raised
to the highest level after the shooting, and French
authorities also stepped up security after two Jews were
attacked the same day as they left a synagogue in a Paris
suburb wearing traditional Jewish clothing.
About half of Belgium's 42,000-strong Jewish population live
in Brussels. France's Jewish community is the largest in
Europe at some 550,000, though violence such as the 2012
school murders and economic woes have prompted an increase in
emigration to Israel or elsewhere.

Liberal Opinion Week
What if an extra hour somehow slipped into your day?
Aside from most Arizonans and all Hawaiians, Americans get to ponder this question in early November as Daylight Savings Time gets underway.
I usually fill this gap with some combination of reading, cooking, and (weather permitting) riding my bicycle on Arlington, Virginia's trails. The borrowed time feels like a small luxury.
How about spending a whole extra day with your family, swatting items off your to-do list, or hanging out with friends? This being a leap year, it's a reasonable question.
The climate justice movement, however, won't take this 366th day for granted.
Those activists are spending those extra 24 hours — and then some — brainstorming how the world might move on from a corporate-controlled and fossil-fueled economy toward a greener and more equitable way of life that does a better job of taking care of human needs.

What is the defining characteristic of gig-economy workers? Probably that driving for Lyft or assembling Ikea furniture via Handy or selling knitted leprechaun outfits for babies on Etsy isn't the main thing they do or the main way they make money.
I've been looking at three in-depth studies published recently about the much hyped but still mysterious gig or on-demand economy, enabled by Internet connections and ubiquitous smartphones, and this is perhaps the most strikingly consistent finding. On-demand work is something that people who already have jobs or other responsibilities (going to school, taking care of family members) do on the side. For example:
Writing of the "ethical confusion which overtook American society in the Industrial Age," Samuel Eliot Morison and Henry Steele Commager wrote of deadly social consequences for which no individuals felt in any way responsible:
"These men were caught in the meshes of a business system which had not yet developed a moral code of its own and to which the old codes were irrelevant. The manufacture and sale of impure foods, dangerous drugs, infected milk, poisonous toys, might produce disease or death, but none of those involved in the process -- retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, advertisers, corporations, directors or stockholders -- realized that they were guilty of murder."
A similar confusion -- mystery, really -- hovered over a Connecticut courtroom this week, where parents of children massacred in their classrooms wondered how 20 children and six adults could be murdered in their school without anyone being in any way responsible for the deaths.
Welcome, voters, to the new, improved Republican race for the presidency. At one time, there were close to 20 politicians to follow, but post-South Carolina, it's more like the final rounds of "The Apprentice," with many fewer nervous strivers to keep track of and rising interest from viewers.
Does that help Donald Trump? Conventional wisdom says no, the empty suit won't be able to stand the scrutiny.
But what if it does help, in the way that everything helps Donald Trump, even the Pope calling him un-Christian and the Bushes coming out to campaign against him?
After Trump called out former President George W. Bush for his disastrous invasion of Iraq, he was warned that the 43rd commander-in-chief is popular in South Carolina. Trump responded with three words that proved prophetic: "So am I."
Trump then proceeded to make a few new enemies -- the Vatican, Apple and those who suspect that Trumpcare might be a lot like Obamacare -- but he also got himself under control.
Western observers struggle to make sense of what's happening to the Chinese economy. Since China is slowing, dragging down commodity prices and forcing a number of other countries into recession, this in an important problem to puzzle out. But how should we evaluate China's economy? I find that Western writers tend to subscribe -- explicitly or implicitly -- to one of two folk theories of China. Both have serious deficiencies.
The first of these folk theories is "rebalancing." This is the idea -- promoted by Michael Pettis of Peking University -- that China has been investing too much in infrastructure and factories, and needs to switch to services and to consumption. The theory says that this adjustment is natural and inevitable, but will lead to slower growth.
The Clinton political dynasty is still alive. The Bush dynasty has been routed. Their contrasting fates, to this point at least, tell us much about our two parties, the nature of this year's presidential election, and the dueling legacies themselves.
The Republican and Democratic contests are very different, beginning with the fact that Hillary Clinton did not have to deal with Donald Trump, who targeted Jeb Bush with a viciousness rarely seen in contemporary politics. For months, the self-contained former Florida governor responded ineffectually to an opponent who flouted all the norms. This only made it easier for Trump to mock him as "low energy" and "weak."
Bush was also entitled to a certain bitterness as he watched Marco Rubio, his ambitious and impatient protege, seize his natural base in the party: voters who loathe both Trump and Ted Cruz. Rubio's definition of loyalty did not include yielding to his one-time mentor.
To hear Donald Trump tell it, the biggest problems with the U.S. economy can be stopped at the border, where immigrants and cheap foreign goods threaten American livelihoods. Or to hear Bernie Sanders tell it, the source of the middle-class's affliction is a powerful Wall Street and K Street oligarchy.
Actually, the forces holding back the economy are internal and structural, the result of historical trends more than venality (I'm talking to you, Bernie), or stupidity (you too, Donald). So they require different solutions from the ones the candidates are pushing.
Perhaps the biggest challenge is that the U.S. labor force is shrinking. Of the richest 38 nations, only the U.S. and two others (Denmark and Norway) have seen declining rates of labor-force participation, which counts the employed and those looking for work.
The unemployment rate has plummeted to 4.9 percent from 10 percent in 2009, but that's largely because people are abandoning the workforce. In 2015, the participation rate fell to its lowest point in almost 40 years. It ticked up in the last few months, but by a barely perceptible amount.
Donald Trump seems the unlikeliest Republican candidate for evangelical voters, with his three marriages, his ownership of casinos and beauty pageants, and his belated opposition to their core issues of abortion and marriage.
Yet he captured the votes of 33 percent of evangelicals in South Carolina Saturday-a big factor in his win, since evangelicals made up a whopping 72 percent of Republican primary voters there.
Sen. Ted Cruz seems to be the quintessential evangelical candidate: a pastor's son who can strut a campaign rally stage like it's a revival and who pledged to inspire millions of supposedly apathetic evangelicals to vote for a resurgent Christian America.
Cruz amassed the endorsements of more over 300 pastors and other religious leaders in South Carolina. Glenn Beck, one of Cruz's most high-profile supporters, told voters at a South Carolina rally that the Texas senator was "raised for this hour" by the "hand of divine providence." Cruz was supposed to be a messianic figure to save Christian America from its downward secularist spiral.
Donald Trump's shocking transformation from reality-show host to Republican presidential front-runner is not some random and bizarre twist of fate. It grows from the failure of our political system to adapt to demographic change, economic disruption and a reorganizing world.
Trump's victory Saturday in the South Carolina primary appears to have cleared away the cobwebs of denial. However improbable, outlandish or frightening it may be, Trump has a very good chance of becoming the nominee. He can still be beaten, but the debilitated Republican establishment does not seem up to the task; poor Jeb Bush bowed out after winning less than 8 percent of the vote.
Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz essentially tied for second place, 10 points behind Trump's winning 32.5 percent. Since John Kasich and Ben Carson turned out to be non-factors, the Republican race is left with three leading candidates -- none of whom offers viable solutions. Trump is a wrecking ball, Cruz is a conservative ideologue and Rubio tries to be all things to all people.
Conservatives have always argued that the left believes in unilateral disarmament, but now we have proof: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., faces a primary opponent whose use of a private email server is under investigation by the FBI, but he refuses to attack her on the issue.
His failure to do so cost him victory in Iowa. It cost him victory in Nevada. And ultimately, it could cost him the Democratic nomination.
In the one state where Sanders has won - New Hampshire - exit polls showed 34 percent of Democratic voters said that honesty was the most important factor in their decision about whom to support. These voters chose Sanders by a stunning margin of 92 percent to 6 percent, helping put him over the top in the Granite State. By contrast, Clinton won by a wide margin among those who said the ability to win in November was the most important factor. But these voters made up just 12 percent of the electorate, not enough to make up for Clinton's gaping honesty gap.

Abstract75119-The achievement of high microwave fields in next-generation high-energy particle accelerators will require, among other things, that field emission and breakdown be held to within strict upper limits. One means to achieve this goal is to devise rugged thin-film coatings for vulnerable copper surfaces, providing a higher work function than copper alone. This project will evaluate a variety of candidate thin-film coating materials for inhibiting field emission in high-power microwave components and develop recipes for applying these coatings to copper test blanks. Phase I will develop a variety of thin-film materials, including the possible use of intermediate adhesion layers and outer anti-oxidizing layers, for application to copper test blanks. An X-band test cell will be designed to achieve a microwave electric field strength on the coated test blanks that is more than double the field strength on other surfaces in the test cell. A non-high-vacuum model of the test cell will be built and cold-tested. Ultimately, comparisons will be made between the thresholds for microwave breakdown (as well as the rates of breakdown above threshold) in coated and uncoated test blanks; the difference in performance of the various coating materials also will be examined. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: Thin-film coatings on high-power microwave components should extend the parameter range over which the components can be used, especially in high-power installations at accelerators. Other applications requiring high-power microwaves include radar and high-power microwave industrial processing.
