Well, this is nowhere near the best thing I've ever written. But it's done, so I'm going to post it anyway.-Kiyoshi'sGirl64 and Kiyoshi
Silas frowned at Daniel. His lover was sitting on the leather sofa of Daniel's apartment, head in his hands. Silas moved to stand behind the blonde man who was busy having a mild panic attack. He reached out and began kneading Daniel's shoulders with strong hands. He felt Daniel first tense at and then relax into his touch.
"Danny," Silas said softly, "We don't have to do this if you don't want to. I can leave and we can put this off for another couple weeks."
Daniel expelled the air from his lungs with a low whoosh. "No, that's not fair to anyone, Silas. Not to you, not to Drake."
"It's not fair to you to do this when you're not ready," Silas countered, moving around the couch to sit next to Daniel.
Daniel shook his head. "Silas, I have to do this. It's wrong to keep hiding you from him. You've been my dirty little secret for more than a year. I can't keep that from Drake. He's fifteen. He… he's old enough to understand. He was probably old enough to understand two years ago. He deserves to know the reason Marie and I divorced. He deserves to know that…"
Silas smiled at Daniel's inability to express himself. So Silas gripped the grey-eyed man's hand and said, "He deserves to know that Cole isn't the only new, permanent parental fixture in his life?"
Daniel smiled. "Yeah. And Silas, I really… I'm sorry. I… you know I don't have a problem with staying faithful, that commitment…"
Silas leaned in to kiss his partner's cheek. "Yeah, Danny, I know talking about it scares you even though I can see that commitment in your eyes every time you kiss me."
Daniel just rolled his eyes and blushed. Silas held back a snort; he knew Daniel didn't understand what he did. Silas understood that Daniel was someone who committed to whatever he did—even if the concept of commitment to another person terrified him.
Silas still didn't understand why Daniel had gotten married in the first place, considering his psychological barriers against commitment. And that kind of commitment to a woman, no less.
Silas had long wondered how Daniel had remained faithful to Marie for their nearly fourteen years of marriage. All he knew was that Daniel would never under any circumstances sleep with someone when he was committed to someone else—whether or not the forty three year old would acknowledge the commitment verbally.
Some small part of Silas wished that Daniel had never married Marie. It would have saved everyone involved a lot of pain, as well as meaning Silas could have made a move on Daniel a good seven years before he did.
But mostly Silas was just thankful Daniel had finally seen sense and divorced the woman who couldn't really make him happy. And that meant that a large part of Silas was actually happy Daniel and Marie had gotten married; Drake meant the whole world to Daniel.
Of course, how much Daniel cared for Drake was the real reason Silas was so willing to put this meeting off. Yes, he wanted to meet Drake. Yes, he wanted to have Drake's acceptance, if not blessing.
But even after dating Daniel for more than a year, Silas feared that, if worse came to worst, Daniel would choose Drake. Of course, Silas respected that—at least until Drake was an adult—he would always come second to the teenager.
He just feared that it was such a far second that Daniel would dump him if Drake asked him to.
And Daniel leaving him would break his heart.
It didn't help Silas' nerves any that Daniel still hadn't said I love you. Silas had said it, multiple times, and he did love Daniel desperately. He began falling for the slightly older man close to four years ago, two years before Daniel had even gotten divorced. Of course, then it was more of an obsession than anything else. It just meant he fell that much faster and that much harder when they finally did begin dating.
A loud knock at Daniel's apartment door yanked Silas out of his reverie. He stood, pulled Daniel to his feet and kissed his cheek. "It'll all work out, Danny, I swear. Now I'm going to go get each of us a beer and we'll behave as friends until you decide otherwise."
The small kitchen area looked out across the living room, meaning Silas could easily see the front door, even as he raided the fridge, fishing out Daniel's last two beers.
Daniel ushered in not one, not two, not three, but four people.
The woman with dark brown hair hanging just past her shoulders Silas recognized from the family photo Daniel still kept on the kitchen counter, in spite of the fact that he was no longer married to her. Daniel's ex-wife Marie.
Then there was the tall, dark-haired man whose fingers were intertwined with Marie's. Silas figured it was a good bet that this was the woman's new fiancé, Cole.
Then was the teenage boy. He was several inches shorter than Daniel, obviously not having hit his growth spurt yet. His hair was fine and a white-blonde even paler than his father's. Drake.
Finally was the auburn-haired girl hanging onto Drake's arm. She was about his age and it was completely obvious she was Drake's girlfriend. Silas' first thought was that Daniel and Drake must share tastes, since the girl's eyes were eerily similar to his own—green and a mahogany shade that would flame a vibrant red in natural sunlight.
"Hey, Dad," Drake said with a bright smile. "This is my girlfriend Julianne. Julianne, my dad."
Silas watched as Daniel paled and stretched out a shaky hand to greet the girl; this obviously hadn't been included in even Daniel's wildest calculations. "It's a pleasure," he said. "Call me Daniel." After a beat, Daniel added, "This is my friend Silas everyone. Silas, meet Marie, Cole, Drake and Julianne." Silas didn't miss the flash in Marie's eyes at his introduction, making it abundantly clear that she knew exactly what Silas was to Daniel. And the word friend didn't quite cover it. Then Daniel said tersely—Silas detachedly noticed the anger that bordered on panic in the stormy grey eyes—"Drake, drop your things in your room. Then get something to drink for yourself and Julianne. I want a word with Cole, Silas and your mother."
And so Silas followed his lover and the two others into the hall. Once outside, Daniel demanded, "Marie, why is she here? I—how am I supposed to tell my now-obviously straight son that I'm gay when his girlfriend is there?"
Marie made a face and rolled vibrant blue eyes. "Daniel, he invited her on his own. He wanted you to meet her. What was I supposed to tell him? Sorry, Drake, but now. We've been lying to you for the last two years about why we got divorced. Your father's going to tell you about it and I don't think he's ready to come out to anyone but you yet. Daniel, I already told you I wasn't going to help you on this one."
Daniel groaned. Then Cole said, "Just calm down, the both of you. One thing I'm sure Daniel will agree with us on is that Julianne will not be spending the night. Daniel, Silas, you can tell him after she leaves, or tomorrow. Just calm down about it."
Daniel took a deep breath and nodded, much to Silas' relief; he had been afraid his boyfriend was about to have a mental breakdown. "Brilliant idea," Silas told him, wrapping an arm around Daniel's shoulders.
Of course, that moved the conversation in a different direction entirely. "So Daniel…" Marie began. "This is your… ah… boyfriend?"
"Yeah," Daniel said, sounding something close to relieved. Silas suspected it was because it was Marie; he had lived with her for fourteen years after all, and when he asked for a divorce—the way Daniel told it—she was more relieved than upset. Neither of them had been happy, and Daniel said they only stayed together as long as they did because of the child conceived on their honeymoon. Silas believed it.
Because the divorce was obviously a friendly one; Marie and Daniel didn't meet for coffee or anything, but when they met they were civil. They liked each other well enough. Marie eyed Silas for a long time before finally saying, "Well, at least you have good taste, Daniel. But do… yeah, could you do me a favor and not have sex while Drake is here? I know you don't have the marriage option, but I don't want to encourage sex outside of marriage, regardless."
"I wasn't planning on it," Daniel answered tightly. His face was bright red and Silas had to suppress a snicker; he only bothered because he knew Daniel wouldn't be too thrilled to know just how amused he was at the reaction the conversation was soliciting.
"Good," Marie said. "Well, Cole and I were going on a date tonight. Have fun with Drake and Julianne. I will see you on Sunday." She gave Silas a curt nod and said, "Nice meeting you." She then led her fiancé down the stairs.
Silas turned to go back inside, but Daniel stopped him. Silas looked at the shorter man questioningly. Daniel took a deep breath and said, "Silas, I know you're worried that… I know you're worried that I might dump you if Drake doesn't like you. But I swear, if he doesn't like you it will be because you're a man; I can't imagine anyone disliking you as a person." Silas didn't point out that there were people who disliked him as a person; he liked the fact that Daniel was so biased towards him that he obviously believed his own words. "And I am not going to leave you if he disapproves of my sexuality, Silas."
Silas smiled, more relieved by Daniel's words than he wanted to think about, let alone admit. "Thanks, Daniel. That makes me feel a lot better, actually."
Daniel shook his head. "That's not what I wanted to say. What I wanted was… if this goes well tonight, would you move in with me?"
Silas stared at Daniel. He'd though he would have to be the one to suggest such a step in their relationship; Daniel was too afraid of expressing commitment like that. "I would love to," Silas breathed. "I love you so much, Daniel."
That made Daniel look distinctly uncomfortable, and Silas knew it was because Daniel still wasn't sure he was ready to say the L word, in spite of the fact that they were moving in together. "Silas, you just have to understand… we can't move in together if this goes badly. I'm not going to leave you or anything so stupid as that, but I want my apartment to be a place Drake feels comfortable. If he hates the fact that I'm gay that much… I want to give him time to get used to the idea before you move in. But I swear, Silas, before the year is out."
It was September, so Silas figured he could handle waiting two or three months, if absolutely necessary. Of course, moving in this week would have been preferable, but Silas wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. So instead he smiled, reached up and covered the peephole to the apartment on the off-chance that the two teenagers were spying, and leaned in to kiss Daniel deeply. Daniel responded as eagerly as always, and pulled away looking a bit more ruffled than Silas thought wise, but he just helped Daniel settle his hair back into place and then they returned inside.
The evening was spent eating pizza, drinking soda—well, Julianne and Drake drank soda; Silas and Daniel drank beer Silas bought when he was picking up the pizza—and playing a stupid trivia game. "So, how'd you guys meet?" Julianne suddenly asked Daniel and Silas.
Silas had the uncomfortable feeling that Julianne was in full possession of 'a woman's intuition' and knew perfectly well that Silas wasn't just a friend. "We met at work," Silas answered easily. "I moved here about seven years ago, but we didn't really become friends till this past year."
Drake frowned. "You two've been friends for a whole year? Dad's never mentioned you, Silas."
"Really?" Daniel asked mildly. "I would have thought I had…"
The night stretched on uneventfully, ending in Daniel taking Julianne home, with Silas tagging along. It would look rather suspicious if Daniel just left Silas alone in his apartment. Of course, it also looked suspicious that Silas came with them rather than just going home himself. But Silas decided that that didn't matter; they'd be telling Drake the truth soon enough anyway, and he was by now eighty percent sure Julianne knew exactly what was going on.
When they finally arrived back at Daniel's apartment—the place Silas desperately wished he would be able to call home before the week was out—Daniel said, "Drake, we need to talk."
Drake's dark blue eyes went wide. "Dad, no, I already got the birds and the bees from Mom. I don't need to hear it from you too. Besides, Julianne isn't ready. And I really like her Dad. More than just for sex, I swear it."
Daniel closed his eyes and let out a long-suffering sigh. "Well, it's good to know that your mother took the time to give you the talk. I wish what I need to talk to you about was that simple. Could you sit down?"
Silas watched as Drake sank onto the couch, eyes the size of saucers. "Dad… are you sick or something? Do you have cancer?"
"Once again… I feel as though that would be a simple thing to tell you. Because then at least you couldn't get angry with me for it," Daniel said slowly.
By now Drake looked genuinely worried. So worried, in fact, that he kept glancing to Silas for help. "Dad, what's going on?"
Daniel exhaled slowly and then said, "Drake, I've been seeing someone."
"Oh god, she's pregnant, isn't she?"
"She's only four years older than me but you still plan on making her my step-mother?"
"You left Mom because of her and you've been hiding it from us all this time?"
"No…" Even as he said it, Daniel blanched, the question hitting a bit too close to home.
"Then what?" Drake's expression had shifted from worried to confused.
Daniel thought for several seconds and then said, "Drake, your mom and I… I know we never gave you a satisfactory reason for our divorce."
"You think?" Drake muttered.
Daniel ignored the barb and continued, "That's because the divorce was completely my fault and I wasn't comfortable with you knowing. Now, though—Drake, the reason your mother and I got divorced is—the person I've been seeing is—Drake, this is so hard. Way harder than it should be. But please, Drake, understand that it in no way changes how much I love you."
Drake made a face. "Enough sentimentality, Dad, just get on with it."
Silas watched worriedly as Daniel said, "I'm gay, Drake. I've been dating Silas for over a year."
There was a painfully long silence before Drake finally said, "No." He began shaking his head. "No. You can't be gay. No, no, no. This is just—no! You can't—you got Mom pregnant! That defies the meaning of being gay! You're not gay, you just think you are!" Suddenly he glared at Silas. "And you're just confusing him. Go away! Leave! Don't come back!"
"Drake, don't talk to Silas like that," Daniel said wearily. "He's my boyfriend. That's not going to change any time soon. I understand that it's confusing—you have no idea how confused I was. I was always attracted to men, but I convinced myself that I was attracted to your mother. And I cared about her—I still care about her—deeply, so I convinced myself it was love. We got married. I think I initiated sex with her a total of three times, Drake. The rest of the time, it was her and I felt obligated, since she was my wife. Then there was you, and I couldn't bring myself to say it needed to end because how would that affect you. It just got so tangled up, Drake. And now… well… I should have told you the truth, but I was scared. But I have to tell you now. Silas is probably going to move in with me, and you need to know so you don't show up and find a random stranger sleeping in your dad's bed. But I am really sorry."
"You're sorry?" Drake snarled, standing up. "You're sorry? I had to live through a divorce, and now I find out the reason for that is because my dad likes to take it up the ass, and all you can say is sorry?" The fifteen year old looked ready to throw something or hit someone. But instead he just said, "I hate you," and stalked from the room, slamming the door to his bedroom behind him.
And it appeared that that was too much for Daniel. He collapsed into the brown leather of his sofa and began sobbing. Silas sat down next to him and wrapped his arm around his lover. "Shhh, Daniel, he's just confused. It'll be okay. He wasn't angry enough to leave the apartment."
"It would have been better if he'd shouted it," Daniel whimpered eventually. "But no. I hate you. Said so calmly. So… so… matter-of-factly. What have I done?"
"Let me talk to him," Silas whispered in Daniel's ear.
Daniel jerked away from the auburn-haired man. "What?"
"Let me talk to him," Silas repeated, stroking Daniel's hair.
"I… I think it'll help, Danny. Make him see that I'm not an enemy. I think I might be able to help him see that you're the same dad you've always been," Silas murmured.
Daniel finally nodded. Silas kissed his forehead and stood to go to Drake's room. When he knocked on the door, Drake growled, "Go away, Dad, I don't want to talk to you."
Silas reached down and turned the knob, thankful the door locked on the outside. He stepped into Drake's room and quietly shut the door. "Drake, you think you could talk to me?" he asked.
When he spoke, the boy's eyes snapped open. Then he complained, "You're not going to go away, are you?"
"Not until you talk to me," Silas confirmed.
"That's not what I meant," Drake grumbled. "I meant you're going to be here, in my life, for an indefinite amount of time. Possibly forever."
"Well, yes," Silas confirmed again. "Which is why I want to talk to you, Drake. I don't want to make things even more difficult for Daniel."
"He's made them difficult for himself," Drake muttered, not looking at Silas. Drake's arms were crossed behind his head, his blonde hair in slight disarray as he lay on his back glaring up at the ceiling. "Why should I care?"
"Because he's your dad," Silas answered. "Because he loves you. And Drake, I am not taking your dad away from you, please understand that. He won't say it because he doesn't want to hurt me, but if he had to choose between us, he would choose you. That is how much he loves you, Drake. Just because he's gay… that doesn't change anything about your father, except that he's being more honest with you."
"Yeah, and that's the real problem," Drake complained, much to Silas' surprise. "I don't have a problem with him being gay. I don't have a problem with you or him dating you. I'm not even particularly surprised about it. But I do have a problem with him lying to me about it. How am I supposed to trust him after this?"
"Drake," Silas said, "The only thing I have ever seen Daniel lie about to anyone is his sexuality. Now that he's told you the truth about that, he has nothing else he's willing to lie about."
"Why would he tell you and not me?"
"I don't follow."
"Why would he tell you he was gay and not his own son?" Drake elaborated.
"Ah," Silas said. "It was… there was a company function we both went to. Your father got a bit drunk. I'd been a bit obsessed with him for some time, and so I volunteered to take him home. And when I dropped him off, I couldn't help myself. I kissed him and, in his inebriated state, he didn't have his usual reservations and kissed back. He actually tried to get me into his bed, but I wanted our first time together to be sober, so I turned him down. He wouldn't have told me or showed me if he wasn't drunk. And then since I already knew, there was no point in hiding it from me. Actually… Drake, the only people who know Daniel is gay are me, your mother, Cole and you. Your mother knows because Daniel was honest with her about why he wanted a divorce. Your mother told Cole. So you are the second person he has intentionally come out to, Drake."
Drake nodded and then said, "I really hate that you're right. Can I just… can I pretend to be angry for the rest of the night? I'm not quite ready to drop the angst-y teenager act. And even though I'm not quite angry anymore, I can't quite forgive him yet."
Silas laughed and nodded. "Okay, Drake, I'll see you in the morning."
Drake made a face. "You're staying the night?"
Silas nodded. "Unless… does that bother you, Drake?"
The disturbed face Drake pulled at that almost made Silas laugh. "I just… I don't particularly care to think about my mom's sex life with Cole. The fact that my dad is sleeping with another guy is even worse." Silas was disappointed. Drake seemed to realize what he'd said and hurried to correct himself. "Silas, I just meant… I don't have a problem with it, but I could never even imagine liking guys. I don't need to think about two guys going at it, and the fact that one is my father…"
Silas laughed then. "Okay, I get it. I don't think your dad will be up for anything tonight anyway. He's exhausted himself building himself up to tell you, panicking about how you might react." He stood and walked to his door. He couldn't keep himself from teasing the teenager. "And Drake, you accused your father of taking it up the ass. So you know, he doesn't."
"But I thought—" Silas smirked as Drake paled, understanding that Silas was implying his father was the dominant partner in the relationship.
Silas left without another word, happy that Drake was going to forgive Daniel eventually, if not immediately. That was a good sign.
And Silas ready to go to bed, snuggled up to the man he was in love with.
The next morning, when Drake ambled out to the breakfast table, Silas served him eggs and bacon. Drake yawned. "Where's Dad?"
"Still asleep," Silas answered softly. "He had trouble sleeping last night, didn't get any till at least three in the morning." Drake looked at him suspiciously. "No, I wasn't keeping him up. He just kept tossing and turning. I think he was still upset about how things went with you."
"Oh," Drake said, poking at his eggs and looking vaguely guilty. "Silas?"
"I… I still don't know how to forgive him."
"Drake, just show him," Silas answered, sitting down opposite to the blonde. "I know you don't want to hurt him and he didn't want to hurt you. That's part of the reason he kept it from you for so long. He was afraid he would hurt you so much that you would never want to see him again."
"I see…"
"Drake, just remember that your father loves you."
Drake shrugged. "Yeah, I guess. Just… Silas, do you love him?"
Silas frowned. "How is that relevant?"
"I… I don't like that my parents' marriage—and apparently their divorce as well—was a lie. But if it had to be… I at least want this to be for someone who loves him."
Silas smiled reassuringly. "I love your father so much, Drake. I can't decide if I'm upset he married your mother, because we could have gotten together a lot sooner if he wasn't with her or if I'm happy about that simply because you make him so happy. I genuinely love him."
Drake nodded thoughtfully.
The rest of the weekend passed tense and awkward. When Marie came to pick up Drake on Sunday evening, Drake and Silas shared an awkward but friendly handshake. Then Drake turned and suddenly gave his father a hug. "I'll see you in a couple weeks."
Silas smiled at Daniel's shock, understanding that Drake trying to accept them was the most Daniel had hoped for.

This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison Time Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (line)
Quote #1
To that still roaring dell, of which I told;
The roaring dell, o'erwooded, narrow, deep,
And only speckled by the mid-day sun; (9-11)
His friends enter the valley around mid-day, with the sunlight passing down directly through the branches. The forest is so dense that only some of the light makes it through to the ground.
Quote #2
With some fair bark, perhaps, whose sails light up
The slip of smooth clear blue betwixt two Isles
Of purple shadow! (25-27)
This poem has many images of objects being "lit up" by afternoon or evening light. Think of all the leaves and trees that are illuminated. The light on the sails contrasts with the "purple shadow" of the islands. The sails just catch the last bit of daylight.

Thinking in terms of the future, let's say I buy 4 external disks, set them up with Ubuntu Server 12.04 software RAID 1+0. Then later after some usage I want to stick them on a new computer - how do I ensure they work immediately?
If I just plug them into the fresh computer (with any other hard disks removed), will they automatically know how to relate to each other REGARDLESS of which order of external slots I plug them into? Or do I have to be careful to plug them in a certain port order?
If neither of these are guaranteed to work, then what steps must I take to ensure I get the Ubuntu booting up and running with the software RAID 1+0 exactly as before, bearing in mind I'm relatively new to Ubuntu Server?
And does it matter if I use any combination of external ports for the drives (e.g. USB 2.0, 3.0, eSATA 2.0, 3.0, any future versions of USB, eSATA etc.)?

Really good for managing my Business
I'm a high tech sales/biz dev guy and this tool is an ideal combination of quick and flexible. It gives me access to, and organizes the information I need without demanding information I don't have, or don't care about - and it's quick. (soo important!) I recommend - especially with a touch screen machine, the flow intergrates perfectly with my daily routine One exception - you need to remember to "refresh" when you first load the app if you're working on multiple machines otherwise you'll be missing records. Would be nice if you guys could please address that issue. (-1 star)More

Missing Service Activities/Contracts
This only works with CRM 2013 update. Once our CRM Online account was updated, the app functioned relatively well, although there are still a number of SQL Server errors on some columns that require a refresh. I'm disappointed (minus 1-star) that there's no contracts/service record or service activity management which would have made this ideal for Surface or Surface 2 deployments.

Fast, stable, includes some really great functionality not found in the full application, like cross entity search.

Not really sure why I am posting in here as all previous posts have gone unanswered .. I realise that most forums are answered by kind people who donate their time but maybe it is time to employ an expert and all posters can donate to fund it as there seems to be hundreds/thousands? of unanswered frustrated users.
Anyways my question is related to the Next Gen Gallery and I am unable to get thumbnails to appear under my slideshow, nor titles? It seems there are quite a few others who are experiencing this problem and no-one with any answers, except file permissions and the like, none of which have helped me. I am sure its just a tick in a box somewhere but I have been over the backend a million times and cannot find it.

Enemies of Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska can be forgiven for any gloating over the veteran Republican's ethics investigation. He will get little sympathy from them.
For many years, Stevens has been a mean bully who takes personally any opposition to his way of operating. He admits to being an irascible lawmaker, feeling comfortable in that role.
Stevens is caught up in a widening investigation of ethics violations in Alaska. FBI and IRS investigators swarmed Stevens's home near Anchorage this week.
Stevens told fellow Republican senators in closed session that they should not prejudge him and that he would exonerate himself. That is more slack than he would be willing to give anyone who has dared to challenge him.
Either as chair or ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Stevens has used his position to every advantage. For those who speak up to challenge him, there will be utter contempt or punishment for his or her home state.
Some TV commentators referred to Stevens in news accounts as the "highly respected" senator. Wrong, because he is feared and not respected.
A word of support for Stevens came from his friend across the aisle, Sen. Dan Inouye of Hawaii. Democrat Inouye and Stevens have served together for many years.
Let's hope the honorable Inouye, a World War II hero, has a few more good friends than Stevens.

This is an old image I submitted ages ago, but the previous editing was too dark etc (see rustmouth.deviantart.com/art/L… for comparison) so I re-edited it. I would love to hear your thoughts about this version, personally I prefer this one much better
Location: Disley, UK
Editing done in Adobe Photoshop CS5
This is a great piece of photography! It's not unique as many people have done this type of photography before, but the colours, even though their "dull" colours, contrast each other and look very beautiful! What I also like about this photo is that you can see the whole buildings reflection in the water. To make this work better, I would've took the photo at a better angle and cropped as many of the people out as possible, as the pictures a mixture of generations (the building is old, the people are modern) and this downgrades the photo.
I hope this helps! <3

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he

Research on Marc Morano's Climate Denier Gang [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | February 18, 2009
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 10:08
Earlier in the week we reported that the favored list of climate doubters [3] Senator Inofe's political assistant Marc Morano relies on to stoke the global warming is a hoax echo chamber had been discovered by the researchers at ThinkProgress. [4]
In turn, our research team has taken Mornano's list and added in all of the information we have here on DeSmogBlog about each of the indivuduals and made it into a handy referal page here: Researching Marc Morano's Climate Denier Gang. [5]
We are working to research the individuals on Morano's list that we didn't have information on and will be adding what we find.
This month we're giving away FREE copies Nobel Laureate Dr. Andrew Weaver's new book Keeping Our Cool: Canada in a Warming World. [6]

Two-time Grand Slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova's cold-weather wardrobe proved more trouble than the chilly temperatures on Friday at the Indian Wells ATP Masters and WTA tournament.
The Russian had to bounce back from being blanked in the opening set to beat former World No. 1 Jelena Jankovic 0-6, 6-2, 7-5.
"I tried to play in the long tight pants first set. I cannot," said Kuznetsova, who advanced to a third-round meeting with ninth-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli.
"I can practice in it without problem, but when I have matches I always start to lose and I have to take it off and then everything changes."
Kuznetsova stopped short of blaming her failure to win a game in the opening set on her leggings, which she wore to combat the cold.
However, she said she did move more freely once she took them off.
"They are very tight, so they were kind of pushing my stomach so I was not so comfortable," she said. "After I took it off, I was feeling a little bit looser."
Kuznetsova, winner of the 2004 US Open and the 2009 French Open, rose as high as No. 2 in the world in 2007.
But a knee injury saw her sidelined for much of last year. She was on crutches for two weeks and missed every tournament after Wimbledon.
She dropped to 85th in the world, but has climbed back to 46th with quarter-final appearances at Sydney and the Australian Open this year.
"I'm just very calm right now and just enjoying every moment," she said of her comeback mind-set. "I start to enjoy tennis again. This is, for me, the most important."

Utah Congressman Rob Bishop is 'king of earmarks'
95% of his requests are for past donors to his campaigns
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
Utah's three U.S. House members have completely different philosophies about requesting "earmarks" that order federal agencies to fund specific projects they like.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, requested none for upcoming 2010 appropriations bills, and he campaigned against earmarks. Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, requested relatively few (totaling $56 million), and only 3.5 percent were for campaign donors. But Rep. Rob Bishop requested $6.5 billion worth, and 95 percent are for past campaign donors.
He requests so much, in part, because he passes along virtually all requests made to him. "My concept is basically that if an earmark is asked of us, and it appears to be for a legitimate project, we pass it on — because appropriators have to look at it and make that call (on whether it is funded) anyway," Bishop said.
Also, he is on the House Armed Services Committee, so much of what he requests is for defense contractors. Those requests tend to be for very expensive weapons systems — and such contractors also happen to be donors to his campaigns because of his committee role.
Finding such data is easier this year because the House this month began requiring members to post on their Web sites the earmarks they request (senators need not do so yet). That comes after President Barack Obama campaigned against earmarks for inflating spending for sometimes silly projects, although he also requested them as a senator.
Chaffetz also made earmarks a campaign issue that he used to help defeat former Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah. In last year's campaign, Chaffetz said, "Until there's reform, I will not ask for them. They're a cancer in the system, and I want to extract them."
Matheson requested $56.2 million worth of earmarks for 2010, or less than 1 percent of what Bishop did. Most were on behalf of local governments for such things as specific roads, trails or water systems. Only one was on behalf of a campaign donor, L-3 Communications, for $2 million for a driving simulator for soldiers.
Examples of some other earmarks Matheson requested include: $1.6 million to complete construction of the Timpanogos Cave National Monument visitors center; $3.8 million for a navigation system at the St. George Airport; $998,000 for energy-efficient outdoor lights at the Utah Shakespearean Festival; and $1.1 million to help revitalize the Jordan River corridor in Salt Lake County.
"I request funding for projects that have merit for improving public safety, growing the economy and enhancing the quality of life in Utah," Matheson said.
"I am comfortable putting my name alongside all these requests. Whether it is to help expand Uintah County's drug court or to bring city water mains up to current fire codes, I look to local officials for the most critical needs in their communities," he added.
The king of earmarks among Utah's House members is Bishop, whose $6.5 billion in requests was 115 times more than what Matheson made, and 95 percent of it went to campaign donors.
Just two of his requests — both for Boeing — accounted for almost all of the value of his requests: $4.2 billion to buy another 15 C-17 cargo planes, and $1.75 billion for the Global Ballistic Missile Defense system.
"Part of that was we were reacting to rumors that Obama's budget will cut the C-17, which many of us think is a bad idea. That was a multi-member request. I was not the only one requesting it," Bishop said.
He adds that sometimes administrations intentionally cut their defense budgets — to make them appear leaner — knowing that Congress will add back key programs through earmarks. "It's a game that administrations of both parties have played," he said.
He adds that defense contractors come to him with requests for earmarks because he is on the Armed Forces committee, "and because almost all of the military installations in Utah are in my district."

knee pain during deep cleans
Hi Everyone,
I was practicing my cleans the other day, pulling from the floor and landing in a rock bottom front squat. After the workout and the next day i felt pain in knees. I am wondering if my knees are not in line with my feet. When i have someone watch and they say it looks fine, but doing heavier cleans it may not be perfect on every rep. Does anyone know of any muscle imbalances that might cause this problem, or stretches i should be doing?
My right foot naturally turns out a bit, its been that way since birth. So sometimes when i jump my feet from the pulling to receiving position my right foot goes out to wide. I have been working to fix it, doing drills with the PVC and paying attention to my foot position. Its getting more consistent, but is not perfect yet.
thanks in advance.
with ou ta video it is hard saying. If your knees are buckling (going in) when it is heavy then the wieght is to much. Practice front squats with a medium heavy weight and do them with speed both on the concentris and ecentric movements-But do them with control. Also if your knees are buckling then you Abductors might and probly are weak. Doint some single leg single arm DB RDLs will help-Works the Glute (which are used in abduction) Pistol squats could help as well. Spread the ground as you squat in any variation. But a Video in taken from the front and side will help the most. And yes if your knees are not tracking over you toes they will hurt it is also a quick way to the surgeon if done over time.
you also need to think more about using your hips first, and squating inbetween you legs and not with your legs-if you know what i mean
Do you know if your leg is like that because of a biomechanical deformity in bone structure or if you can correct it through internal rotation work and external rotation stretching?
You shouldn't be "bottoming" out in a squat, when you get under the bar it's a deceleration 'til you hit the bottom where the stretch reflex takes over. Not second pull and then third pull to the bottom of the squat..
Did you get your squat width fixed since the cert? Full ROM squats at that width would probably cause buckling...
And yes, make sure you're not crashing down - you should be in control during the clean.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I had Scott Hagnas watch my front squat today and he said it looked pretty good, a little knee buckling on the right side. That may just be an issue consciously remembering to push it out. I'll get a video camera in the gym soon and get some clips for your evaluation. I am also working on ramping up my front squat weight. I think building some strength with that exercise will help too. I have just not squatted enough. My current max as of last week was 170lbs, and today i did 145x5. Pretty pathetic, considering i can deadlift double BW. So i am going to work to drive that up while continuing to watch my form.
About the foot thing, i am not sure if its muscle imbalance or structural. I can remember doing exercises when i was really little, like walking on a line or on a board to get my foot to straighten. I've chiropractors tell me one leg is longer than the other, then others telling me that is wrong. So i dont know what to think on that front.
most people have leg length issues it is very common. and they are easily fixed with a heel lift...I doubt that is the problem but get it checked out by a PT---
True most have leg length discrepancies and rather a sole lift than a heel lift can do wonders. I actually got mine in my shoes today!!
I find the structural therapist route to be extremely effective.
I find chiropractic adjustments dont have lasting effects as the bones move back.
I find the same for Chiropratics-the bone goes "out of place" the next day when the existing muscle imbalance takes hold again. At times Chiro can be good but very rarely does the problem exist from the bone. I agree Manual Therapy and PT is most effective--followed by a good coach. Is your link in any way related to the practice of the American Academy of Orthopedic Medicine. I dont think it is but i am wondering if he gets some of his theories and philosophies from them.

Happy Birthday Marvin Gaye
I was playing Putt Putt golf with one of my co-workers, and we turned and looked at each other in disbelief!
I asked my co-worker, "did he just say that Marvin Gaye has died at the age of 44", he looked at me and said, "I think so"!
Immediately after we finished our game we stopped at the first phone booth and called the station and it was confirmed Marvin Gaye was shot and killed by his father

I'd like to install a small Debian server (as a template), which contains only the necessary packages. Even though I select only the ssh server and the Standard utilities at the software selection screen, after finishing install I've found some xorg packages on the installed system. (for example xserver-xorg) Could you tell me why? Would it be the part of the Standard utilities? :o Is there any way to exclude all of XFree/xorg packages? Or would be better to leave it? I've tried to remove xserver-xorg and nothing prevented to do it. But removing it, removed virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 too, but don't tried to remove other virtualbox packages, so I don't understand why was these installed...

They appear to be part of the base install regardless of the tasksel package selection. You can safely remove the xorg and virtualbox packages though.
If you are brave enough, you could prevent recommended packages from being installed adding this line to /etc/apt/apt.conf
This should reduce the number of package installed during a standard Debian setup, including the xorg ones

Healthy Kids Day
For Healthy Kids Day, the Military Families who participate in the ASY Parent/Child Interactive Classes spend the day on our playground learning and practicing in healthy habits. At our last Healthy Kids Day, the ASY had three Marine volunteers that manned the activities station for the children. These stations were soccer, a bean bag toss, and the parachute game. These Marines made sure to clarify with the ASY staff that they only had to help with their station and that would be all that was required of them. However, by the end of the day the Marines were having such a great time that they even began playing on the toys with the kids and creating other games for them to play. When the day was over and all the kids were gone, they admitted that although they had wanted to volunteer, they didn't think that Healthy Kids Day was something they would enjoy. After a few years of hard training, they had forgotten what it was like to be a kid and just spend the day playing.

7. Do: Defend Your Honor
Without a noble cause, knights were pretty much just vigilantes. So if you do find yourself slapping your proverbial glove across another man's face in challenge, make sure it's for the only cause worthy of being called "noble" and that's in defense of your lady. Neither being looked at funny nor the supremely uncouth cab-upstreaming are adequate reasons to incite a duel.

I used a random googled photo for this one... Not a good quality picture, color is blah and details are lost... Sigh I really want a scanner or something.
My Facebook Page
My Facebook Page
I absolutely love this one. She is half smiling but there is some kind of spite in her eyes. Lovely use of colour!
love all the texture and color in the piece! nice detail in the face!!
Another beautiful piece...
this is amazing love the colours
Moc povedené, krásná práce!
its really beautiful
Nice work. The picture would definitely benefit from using a scanner or you could use some simple image processing software to correct the tones you feel are necessary. I've been trying to do similar paintings but I seem to have a photo-realism mode which turns on mid-painting and then the picture ends up neither here nor there.
You really do have an interesting gallery though I tried using the scanner few days ago (finally got the chance), but the colors looked burnt...it was even worse that with my phone camera...
It is so pretty.
I like her eyes
Wow, that's an expressive picture ! I like how the colours melt on the paper, and the palette blends well together \o/
I love the color and mixed media play
Great idea! Love the colours (even if they are messed up )! Amazing work
Anyway, I think it looks great in this quality - maybe not so detailed but it has such an autumn tint with the fog and mist

text: Veteran Canadian rock quartet Sloan surprised nearly everyone in 2006 with a sprawling, ambitious 27-song double album, cheekily titled Never Hear the End of It, that was generally regarded as their best record in years. How do you follow that up? Parallel Play, a punchy 35-minute distillation of their strengths. With all four members (the same since their 1991 inception) writing and taking turn on lead vocals, it's a bit of a miracle they've lasted this long and stayed this good. The album's title — referring to how toddlers play near but not really with each other — is a nod to their secret. Everyone in the band has his own specialty and is given space to do his own thing. Almost recorded as four mini solo-projects, Parallel Play nonetheless works as a cohesive album, though it's one that only Sloan (known for changing musical styles on a whim) would deliver. There's big, dumb riff rock courtesy guitarist Patrick Pentland (album opener "Believe in Me") while bassist Chris Murphy delivers crunchy power pop with typically wry lyrics. The best songs, this time out, come courtesy drummer Andrew Scott (the Dylanesque rave-up "Down in the Basement") and the band's other guitarist, Jay Ferguson, whose "Cheap Champagne" and "Witches Wand" recall '70s AM pop at its prime. And for a band who've delved into nearly every genre of music over their 17-year career, it seemed inevitable that they would eventually dip their toes into Caribbean waters — which they do on Scott's bouncy but world-weary "Too Many." It's perhaps Parallel Play 's highlight, and one wonders what Sloan might do with country or even disco? Maybe next time.

The third round of Stuff's Short Film Season features Sima Urale's debut short film O Tamaiti. Beautifully shot in black and white, the film tells the story of a young Samoan boy who is expected to play guardian to his siblings.
As his parents struggle in their new country, he is overwhelmed by the responsibility. When faced with his grief, the adults fail to recognise his pain. Poignant attention to details that convey a child's perspective saw O Tamaiti win awards at film festivals around the globe, including the prestigious Silver Lion at Venice.
We caught up with Urale and asked her five questions:
Tell us about you - why did you get into making short films?
Short films are a wonderful medium, it challenges you to deal with story in a very short time frame, and makes you realise that there are other visual elements at play that can convey story, other than just dialogue. Short films are a natural stepping-stone to moving into longer format projects, so it's good to get a couple under your belt before leaping into feature length. Short films tend to be a lot more creative and experimental than the longer drama projects, so it's a great opportunity to push everything both stylistically and dramatically.
Why did you pick this story? What is it about?
I wrote this story as well, so you tend to get attached to the themes and characters when you are the Writer as well as the Director. The story was inspired by my own observations over the years, and attending various cultural community functions that my family would have to go to, like weddings and funerals. It always fascinated me how my people are so organized behind the scenes, and often, the children are as much a part of that organization with their own roles and chores they have to see to. Watching the children oversee other children is a natural part of the children's role, when their parents have to organize in the kitchen or serve the elders and community, and it's really amazing to watch. The story is a critical look at how my people do things, but at the same time, I can admire the way we do things and the strengths that come with it.
What were the greatest challenges in making this particular film?
I was very fortunate to have an amazing professional crew, particularly as it was my first short film out of film school! I really wouldn't have been able to cope and do it without the training to back me up. Film involves so many specialized areas, and film school helped me to recognize the importance of team work - that one really can't make a film alone. I would encourage anyone interested in film to take up a practical film course, because 'doing it' is very different from 'talking' about making films.
What films, filmmakers, animators or artists influenced you?
Too many films to mention, but a few of my favourite films are 'Santa Sangre', 'Bad Boy Bubby', and 'Once Were Warriors'. Then of course the usual suspects, like filmmakers Akira Kurosawa, Andrei Tarkovsky, Rolf de Heer and the brilliant Orsen Wells - what a man, and a stunning voice to go with it! My biggest influence would have to be my own background and my parents, because it's very hard to separate my own cultural and family influences from what I make on a stylistic level, creatively, as well as politically. The films and filmmakers I mention above, also clearly express their own unique cultural and environmental influences through their films - so I am not necessarily inspired or influenced by other filmmakers, but more a deep admiration for those that can express their own unique experience and stories through the film medium.
What do you know now that you wish you knew back then?
There is still so much to learn in the film industry, and that's what makes it so exciting - one can never know too much. Every project brings new challenges, so we are constantly learning new tricks, new skills, and all the while developing and learning. So to this day - I still have a ton to learn. The thing about making films is that it's really as much about relationships as it is about the technical and creative aspects. We are often dealing with new crew, new cast, and new challenges, so that team dynamic and navigating working relationships is something that can't be taught, but hopefully something that grows with confidence. If I knew everything, I think I would be completely bored.
