The Bewitched Viking (Mass Market Paperbound)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Even fierce Norse warriors have bad days.
'Twas enough to drive a sane Viking mad, the things Tykir Thorksson was forced to do--capturing a red-headed virago, putting up with the flock of sheep that follows her everywhere, chasing off her bumbling brothers. But what could a man expect from the sorceress who had put a kink in the King of Norway's most precious body part?
If that wasn't bad enough, Tykir was beginning to realize he wasn't at all immune to the enchantment of brash red hair and freckles. Perhaps he could reverse the spell and hold her captive, not with his mighty sword, but with a Viking man's greatest magic: a wink and a smile.

With in excess of six hundred company-owned retail stores and a further network of non-exclusive retail agents, AVEA, the well-known mobile and GSM operator company in Turkey had a significant challenge on its hands when it decided to update, not only their corporate visual identity, but also their interior branding and point of purchase merchandising. Detailed research and analysis concerning their customer's journey of their brand, revealed some key objectives for Vice-President of Sales, Ali Yilmaz.
Firstly, there was need to simplify the product segmentation in-store so that customers could more easily find what they were looking for; and, secondly, to create a suitable environment in the sales area, where potential buyers and salespeople can meet.
Mr Yilmaz connected directly with the 3M team in Istanbul and consultative meetings took place regarding the requirements for materials – colour, brightness, availability, standardisation etc.
Samples were provided and tested, then piloted and prototyped between 3M, AVEA and 3M approved graphic converters.
A final specification proposal fully warranted, was developed by the 3M team for AVEA using two mid-life digital inkjet films with chemically compatible inks, hardware and protective overlaminates to protect against wear and tear.
My Yilmaz commented that the AVEA team decided to choose 3M Brand solutions since they trust in the quality of 3M products.

Giannini Brass to perform favorites
Published: Sunday, March 1, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 28, 2009 at 11:02 p.m.
A thoroughly entertaining afternoon is in store for Hendersonville concertgoers when Giannini Brass takes the stage at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 15, at Blue Ridge Community Colleges Patton Auditorium.
Renaissance Dances, Rossinis William Tell, familiar dances by Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Offenbachs Can-Can and more will be performed during the programs first half with toe-tapping works by George M. Cohan, Gershwin, Meredith Wilson, Henry Mancini and others in the second.
Formed in 1989 and named after composer and educator Vittorio Giannini, the founder of the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Giannini Brass is the professional brass ensemble-in-residence for the North Carolina School of the Arts. Its talented members both teach and perform with major orchestras and on radio and television stations throughout the United States and Europe. The group has released four recordings: Big-Shot Brass, Christmas with the Giannini Brass, Baroque Banquet and Mit Freuden zart (With Tender Joy): Moravian Chorales for Brass.
All five performers boast exceptional credentials. Anita Cirba is principal trumpet of both the Winston-Salem and Greensboro Symphony Orchestras. Trombonist Chris Ferguson has performed with touring Broadway productions and big bands, as well as major symphony orchestras. Currently principal tuba with the Greensboro Symphony, David Nicholson has performed with the Empire Brass Quintet and Atlantic Brass Quintet. Kenneth Wilmot, trumpet, has appeared with the New World Symphony and toured with the Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller Orchestras. Joseph Mount, horn, has performed with the North Carolina, Charlotte and Charleston, S.C., symphonies.
The Hendersonville Chamber Music series continues on March 30 with the Mallarmé Chamber Trio, a combination of harp, flute and viola for which Debussey and other composers have written some of the most passionate music youll ever hear. It will be followed by Brevard Music Centers Douglas Weeks and the Converse Piano Trio on April 27. It concludes on May 25 with Pastyme, eight highly trained voices singing music from the Renaissance to Broadway.
All Hendersonville Chamber Music Concerts take place at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoons in Patton Auditorium of Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock. Tickets are $17 and are available at Hendersonville Visitors Center, at Foxfire Gallery in Laurel Park or at the door. Students will be admitted free. For more information, call at 697-0455 or 890-4411.

I discovered a PDF download of one of my books on PDFShare.Org
The book is not out of print. It was apparently posted by "Admin" which suggests whoever is running this site violated my copyright.
This is the link:
Legitimate file sharing sites have a way for copyright holders to register a DMCA objection, and they will remove the offending file if there is an actual copyright violation. PDFShare.Org does not have this option. I can ask Google to disable the search links to the file, but this takes time and does not resolve the copyright violation.
I make my living from my books. This kind of violation of the law erodes my income. This is completely illegal and it's demoralizing to know that my intellectual property is being ripped off like this.
Now, tell me there's nothing that can be done about it. That's what you're *supposed* to say under these circumstances, right?

Random points and lattice points in convex bodies
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Assume is a convex body and is a (large) finite subset of . How many convex polytopes are there whose vertices belong to ? Is there a typical shape of such polytopes? How well does the maximal such polytope (which is actually the convex hull of ) approximate ? We are interested in these questions mainly in two cases. The first is when is a random sample of uniform, independent points from . In this case motivation comes from Sylvester's famous four-point problem and from the theory of random polytopes. The second case is when where is the lattice of integer points in and the questions come from integer programming and geometry of numbers. Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly), the answers in the two cases are rather similar.

ZIOPHARM: PICASSO III DELAY IS BULLISH 0 commentsNov 20, 2012 8:54 AM | about stocks: ZIOP
Speculation has been rampant as to whether the recent moving out of the PICASSO III reporting event to Q1 2013 is a positive of negative. I believe this extension is an extreme positive per the rationale shown in the linked article below. Please take a minute to read through--the author has done an excellent job of laying out the bull thesis.
We know that the independent monitoring committee recently checked for safety and futility and reported their findings. All good on those fronts. Please note that the trial could not be stopped for efficacy. Only a pre-determined number qualifying events such as disease progression will end the trial . A Lack of sufficient events to halt trial means tumor progression (likely) must be occurring later in some patients(progression would qualify as event). We can assume the the control arm of dox plus placebo is tracking to its historical norm per some of Dr. Lewis' comments so the trial lengthening must be due to another factor. We also know IFOS works in many disease settings but that people are forced off drug due toxicity issues. Since Pali is essentially a derivative of IFOS with fewer side effects, people are likely able to tolerate the drug better and stay on treatment longer.
Others have contended that the delay is simply based on late enrollment. I believe that some of the delay is likely attributed to late enrollment but in a recent web cast, Doctor Lewis (Ziopharm's CEO) said the enrollment was fairly even throughout--NOT back-loaded. Again, Dr. Lewis clearly stated that enrollment was even across trial(NOT back-loaded). I tried to do the math but could only come up with one conclusion--- I believe trial extension can only be the result of the one unknown--ifos effects.
I found this summary on another site. Check out the author's conclusions. he seems to understand the science well and stats the case far more eloquently than I ever ever could. My bet remains that PICASSO III works and one day soon Palifosfamide will replace Ifosfamide in many disease settings. (Note: Ziopharm is also working on a SCLC trial with Pali).

Day 107.
It is officially spring over here, and one of my favorite things to do during the spring and summer months is to walk to the neighborhood farmer's market or to our local produce stand. I love seeing piles of fresh fruits and vegetables ripe in all their glory. Most of the fruits and vegetables featured are organic and are grown by local farmers---I like the idea that I am helping a family by buying their offerings.
But these vegetables were from Safeway. I had good intentions of going to the produce stand but it was really early and it wasn't open and I wanted a tall nonfat with whip mocha.
I totally suck.
This meal, however, doesn't. I hope you are a better person than I am, and score some locally-grown vegetables.
The Ingredients.
--4-6 boneless skinless frozen chicken thighs
--1 whole head of garlic
--2 zucchinis
--2 yellow squash
--1 orange bell pepper
--1 yellow bell pepper
--1 red onion
--1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
--2 t Worcestershire sauce
--salt and pepper
The Directions.
salt and pepper your chicken pieces. Mine were still frozen, so a lot of it fell off, so I had to just dump it on top.
put the chicken into the crock.
Wash and cut all your vegetables and put into a mixing bowl. Peel the head of garlic, but keep the cloves intact.
toss the vegetables with balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
pour the vegetables on top of the meat.
cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
I cooked this for 8, and then clicked it over to warm for another hour.
We ate this on top of quinoa.
The Verdict.
This was very tasty! I was happy with the sweetness of the red onion, and the roasted flavor of the garlic. The chicken was nice and tender, and the zucchini and squash soaked up the balsamic flavor nicely.
The kids weren't impressed, but ate what they were supposed to before asking for popsicles.

SysUsage 3.0 Perl Tool in Thorough Rework
The SysUsage monitoring tool is available in a new version 3.0 and provides a completely reworked Web interface.
The perl program works on all UNIX-like platforms and shows details about CPU, memory, I/O, network, devices, files, processes and temperature sensors. Views show diagrams generated using rrdtool. Threshold notifications can be through e-mail or Nagios reports.
Developer Gilles Darold completely rewrote the code and created a new Web user interface. It also makes it easier to build RPM, Debian and Slackware packages from source code. Self-styled plug-ins in any programming language can be embedded.
SysUsage 3.0 is under GPLv3 and ready for download as source tarball from the project page. You can get a taste of the Web interface from a live demo by clicking the tabs across the top.
Good, solid performance monitoringWe've been using it for a few years to monitor our Linux systems. We found the alternatives where either too much or too little, with SysUsage being "just right" in capabilities and ease of use.
Looking forward to trying the new release.

Asics Gel-Fuji Racer 3 - Women's
Percentile Rankings What do these rankings mean?
Runner's World Review
The FujiRacer is a nimble race-day alternative to the FujiTrainer, but it doesn't sacrifice protection. A flexible plate underfoot stands up to sharp objects on the trail while still allowing the forefoot to bend freely. This update closed drainage holes in the sole; wear-testers felt that the previous model allowed moisture in underfoot.
BOTTOM LINE: For lightweight runners who zip over trails.

LONDON, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Investor confidence in Britain's North Sea is on the mend with a jump in drilling and deals recorded in 2012 as the oil province, which is in long-term decline, reaps the benefits of recently announced tax breaks, says a study.
Drilling for oil and gas in waters off Britain was 33 percent higher last year than in 2011 while deal activity surged by around a third in the period, found a study by Deloitte published on Friday.
"After several years of caution and uncertainty, we have a more positive environment, where a number of factors such as tax incentives, high oil price and appetite to invest have combined to make 2012 the most encouraging year for a long time," Graham Sadler, managing director of Deloitte Petroleum Services Group, said.
The British part of the North Sea was rocked by a tax hike in March 2011 which prompted dire forecasts about the future of production. Those warnings appeared to be borne out by a dramatic 19 percent slump in oil and gas output in 2011.
New tax breaks, for older oil fields, heavy oil fields, deep-water fields and others have since given the industry more certainty and are helping provide a shot in the arm for the region, where production has been in decline since 1999.
Deloitte's study found that interest in field development, key to ensure discoveries progress to the production stage, was at a 10-year high with the government granting 21 field development approvals, boding well for a return to output growth.
A study published in December forecast that British oil output would rise in the next few years and in the past three months, the $7 billion Statoil Mariner project and two other substantial projects, Dana's $1.6 billion investment in the Western Isles, and Talisman's $2.55 billion Montrose redevelopment, have all been given the go-ahead.
In contrast to the British part of the North Sea, drilling in the Norwegian North Sea dropped 19 percent in 2012 compared to the year before.
Deloitte's Georgina Kladis, a senior manager in its petroleum services group, said little should be read into the Norwegian decline, attributing it to the limited market for the sort of rigs required to drill in the deeper water around the country.
Norwegian waters remain attractive to oil companies, she said, pointing to appetite for a recent licencing round and a string of big discoveries in the last two years, including the giant Johan Sverdrup field - 2011's biggest find globally.
In terms of the pick-up in the number of deals in the UK North Sea, Deloitte said it was striking that those deals were split almost equally between acquisitions and partnership deals, with the former showing a pick-up since the financial crisis.
"The fact that companies are buying more fields outright is another indicator of rising investor confidence," Deloitte said.
Deals in the UK North Sea in 2012 included China's Sinopec buying a 49 percent stake in Talisman's North Sea operations for $1.5 billion; Kuwait's state oil firm returning to the North Sea after a $500 million deal with EnQuest and Japanese trading company Mitsui entering the North Sea for the first time.

Looks like this was designed in 2001. No modern styling across the board. Several bugs with alignment and formatting. Just take a look at the forums to see all the issues. Chances are you can find something better.
It's not immediately obvious that you need to set up an account and host your calendar on their website. That's the first bummer, but not a huge deal. I was able to get my .ics feed working fine within their system.
The real deal breaker for me is the visual appearance of this calendar. It looks like it was built in 1998. I will take an embedded Google calendar in an iframe over this any day of the week!
Sorry for being harsh, but seriously. Get some design help for this!

The Ultimate Sidemen, ofttimes referred to and promoted as equitable The Sidemen, are a collective mathematical group of British people video recording mettlesome commentators on YouTube that in the first place formed on 19 October 2013. Spell for each one of the separate members are antecedently known for acting various games (largely FIFA), as a mathematical group they are C. H. Best known for their fishy moments videos of their Heroic Theft Motorcar Online sessions,observe all but of which imply around the bend races against one and only some other. Outside of picture gaming, they are in essence silly Thomas Young adults World Health Organization equivalent to do punch-drunk challenges and absorb in scads of josh.
Simon Minter,also known as miniminter, is a YouTube personality and appendage of the Sidemen. Simon the Canaanite lives in London (in The Sidemen House) aboard Vik, Banter and JJ. He is well thought out unitary of the nearly uniform of the Sidemen and uploads rough three videos mundane across his two channels. On his principal channel, he makes FIFA videos as good as vlogs and 'Doubtfulness & Answer' Roger Sessions. PS, you can get the cool sidemen t-shirts that he usually wears if you were curious about it. On his moment channel, he makes Imposing Thieving Car V and Cards Against Humankind videos, as swell as early "random" games with the Sidemen. He does 'In tangible life" challenges with the Sidemen on occasion.
The former member, Vikram "Vikk" Barn, too known as Vikkstar123, is a YouTube personality and member of the Sidemen. He is a British-American Indian YouTuber from Sheffield and is oftentimes referred to as "the Asian". He is unitary of the nigh ordered uploaders in the Sidemen House, uploading between trine and septet videos a twenty-four hour period across trine of his foursome YouTube channels.
Unlike the early Sidemen, Vikk doesn't seem to be a big lover of FIFA and is Charles Herbert Best known for specialising in Minecraft and first-somebody crap-shooter (specially Foretell of Duty) videos, as considerably as Tremendous Stealing Machine V. In old GTA videos, Vikk has referred to himself as "Helmet Boy", and he lives the "Helmet Son Origins". In his "Helmet Boy" persona, Vikk wears a helmet with no former armor and speaks in an enlarged interlingual rendition of his Sheffield stress. He believes that his helmet gives him heightened underground to attacks in GTA, and he much tests this out with hilarious results.
Now, here's the independent appendage of the Sidemen chemical group. Olajide "JJ" Olatunji, likewise known as KSIOlajideBT or plainly KSI, is a YouTube personality and a phallus of the Sidemen. KSI is the nearly well-known of the Sidemen. His main YouTube channel has surpassed two trillion video views and has gained more than eleven trillion subscribers. He is scoop known for his play videos (in particular FIFA) and his comedic vignette videos. KSI lately became the face up of Run around Embossment online in 2014. KSI has a Passion of Christ for euphony and has a rapping career. He has declared that he would function raps to memorise things in school, and stock-still remembers them today. On his previous channel, JideJunior, about of the videos are raps nigh physics or chemical science.

Digital comics | It took three years for comiXology to reach 100 million downloads, but just one year for it to reach 200 million. Matthew Flamm profiles the company and its CEO, David Steinberger, who first saw a business opportunity in comics when he was trying to sell his collection and couldn't find software to catalog it. The next big moment for comiXology is likely to come in October, when the fourth season of The Walking Dead premieres on television the same week the 10th-anniversary issue of the comic is released. Image Comics projects it will sell 300,000 print copies and another 45,000, or about 15 percent, as digital. [Crains New York]
Creators | Writer Mark Waid admits he didn't think he'd be a good fit for Daredevil, because he doesn't write in the darker style favored by his predecessors. "I'm better at swashbuckling adventure," he says. "When I was asked to take that tack, I was in." [Comic Riffs]

Even after I reread what I wrote, I still had no idea what I was talking about.
I really hate when that happens and that happens to me a lot, you don't even know.
Feelings are.. apathetic towards life, again! Really just bummed out over nothing..

I'm on the Archylte Steppe in ???AF, and I'm supposed to defeat some dragon-like monster that's causing storms, but it's being blocked by a Long Gui. Noel suggested going back to the village to ask how to move it, but no one seems to want to talk except the lady that's offering to explain the weather device again. How am I supposed to do this? I tried fighting it, but that went very, very poorly.
First you set the weather to make the Long Gui and Faeryl appear (Sunny no wind).
If your at a high level like max crystal lvl 99, everything you can, beat it or change weather to stormy to make it go away.

First I'd like to say that I love this theme. Although I needed to make a few adjustments as I needed to have full posts on the front page instead of excerpts. So I created a child theme and edited the index.php file but unfortunately the theme stopped being responsive although the option is switched on. It looks like child themes are not responsive. Do you have any advice how to fix that?
Thanks a lot

The cowboy spirit often starts young. So it was only natural that a few cowboys who had been living the life since they were boys shared some insights with schoolchildren Thursday at Bivins Elementary School.
Andy Hedges told the children the meaning of some cowboy slang when he told the story of Pert Near Perkins who had done "pert near everything."
Cowboy Jeff Gore strummed a guitar and told the fourth-grade audience the secret to building a successful handlebar moustache: a tube of wax.
And Chuck Milner, a fourth-generation rancher, used a song to teach the children about Texas rivers.
The three men, members of the Working Ranch Cowboys Association, visited several Amarillo schools where they sang, played guitar and recited poetry. They talked about cowboys and ranching and gave the children free tickets to the World Championship Ranch Rodeo.
"I think they're funny," student Jessica Pena said. "What they said in their poetry, when he hit them in the face with a 10-gallon hat."
"I like the part when one guy was singing poetry, and he took a drink out of a pond with a cow," Caden Spies said.
Some of the children might even follow the cowboys' boot steps into the profession.
"I'd like to be a cowgirl and learn to ride horses and learn about cows and animals," Pena said. "I really love animals."
Learning the Cowboy Way: Fourth-graders Jessica Pena, left, and Caden Spies listen as Chuck Milner performs a cowboy song.
Joe email@example.com
City folk may not know much about cowboys from personal experience, but the way of life goes on, Gore said.
"It's dwindling in some ways, and it will be harder to keep doing it the way it's always done," Gore said. "But there'll always be cowboys, as long as people eat beef."
Fourth-grader Lawrance Chandler said he was sure that cowboys are a real way of life.
"They wouldn't be calling them cowboys if they didn't exist," Chandler said. "They'd call them farmers."

Thomas Loupe
Sound Designer and Composer
Hi, I'm Thomas. I'm a sound designer, producer, composer and game designer. I've created sound effects and music for film, award-winning video-games and media.
I was born in Florida and grew up playing various brass, stringed and percussive instruments. During the mid 90's I became fascinated with computer technology, programming and video games. Because of the rising influence and popularity of PC Games and the industrial and techno music scene, I began creating sounds and music as a hobby. One thing has remained consistent throughout my life, and that's my passion for sound. I enjoy working with all aspects of audio, whether it be an alien screaming and clawing, or music.
My goal is to inspire and entertain others through my passion for sound design and music in games, and to deliver a remarkable, memorable experience to people through my work that consistently raises the quality bar.
Professional Design.
5+ years of professional sound design and music composition experience using top quality plugins, software and hardware. Trained by industry professionals on a broad range of courses, including MIDI, Digital Audio Workstations, Digital Consoles, Music Theory, Recording Principles, Mixing Techniques and many more.
Not Some Audio, All Audio.
My audio skills cover almost every game genre, including FPS, RTS, RPG, ARPG and Fantasy/Sci-Fi games. I have three years of experience using FMOD, an API used for implementing audio, and can easily learn and adapt to other sound APIs because of my familiarity. I compose music for multiple genres, ranging from Cinematic and Orchestral to Metal, Dubstep, Funk and Pop.
Teacher and Student.
I'm not scared to ask for help when I need it. I utilize every resource available to me and learn from them, putting great ideas, design workflows, tips and tricks in my toolset. Part of achieving objectives quickly and efficiently is knowing your own limitations, and learning how to get past them.
Full Understanding of Game Design.
With previous positions ranging from game director and company director, I'm highly experienced with the processes of making games, game audio and music. I have a great understanding of what each person's role is, what they do, how they do it, and use that knowledge to help deliver the best content possible.

I actually talked about this with this dude I had sex with for money (for drugs). Interesting stuff.
I use them all the time; but when I do, it usually shows I DIDN'T go to college.
That Vonnegut quote is priceless.
I'm addicted to semicolons, but I learned about them in high school (on my own, because they were still busy teaching about commas), not college.
He's right about arts though. SORRY MOM AND DAD!
Let's all conquer the apostrophe before we move on to the subtle semicolon.
I loves me some semicolons; they make the world go round.
I'm pretty sure my fabulous use of a semicolon is what got my letter to the editor published in the NY Times. . .
Poe; a ho.
Not until bands stop putting commas in their names like Good Dream, Bad Breakfast; Molly Shannon, Molly Shannon; and Husbands, Love Your Wives. Then we can eradicate the semi-colon.
God, I hate when bands do that.
I also loves me some semicolons. They're perfect in a pinch. DOWN WITH PENNIES!
Also, how will we wink in emails?
Can we kill the word "whom" next? I've always thought that it sounded archaic.
I like semicolons. I once tried to budget my use of them, but it just felt wrong somehow; my sentences were insufficiently long and meandering.
When semicolons are outlawed, only Charlton Heston will have semicolons.
Paul, you're breaking my heart.
Ever wondered why the semicolon is so handy on keyboards? It's for programmers. We use them all of the time when writing code.
So... if you are writing English I would worry about losing the semicolon; I'm glad it's so handy on my keyboard.
I use semicolons, not often, but they are quite nice when listing variables for big nasty equations. Indeed communicating much of the modern research and bettering our world through it requires a semicolon. Okay Back to dissertation.
I'm too comma happy, sometimes a semi-colon is better.
According to Strunk & White: "If two or more clauses grammatically complete and not joined by a conjunction are to form a single compound sentence, the proper mark of punctuation is a semicolon."
Jesus, Strunk & White always puts me to sleep.
My favorite Vonnegut is when he appears in the Rodney Dangerfield movie "Back to School" He writes a paper about himself and then Melon gets an "F" on it. The professor says "whoever *did* write this doesn't know the first thing about Vonnegut."
NEWS YOU CAN USE!!!: Gillian EEEXXXXXFFFIILLEESSS Anderson has commented on this post!!!
As you were.
@11: Whom sounds really weird in speech, but in print, I think it's necessary.
(Cut and pasted excerpt, if this helps) he/him or she/her, and that every verb with a tense must have a subject you should solve the who/whom.
I use dashes quite alot -- probably when I should be using a semicolon. But, like Ari, I mostly use them when I'm making a list of things where the items have commas in them.
I think semicolon haters are just afraid of them because they don't know how to use them. A semicolon connects two complete sentences; I would've changed your semicolon use in this post had it come through copy.
Before writing for the Stranger, and being educated by the copy department, I lived in fear of both the em dash and semicolon. I used neither.
This is despite writing sentences of sufficient complexity and length to require the use of a GPS receiver, flares, a ten pound bag of rice and a Saint Bernard to find your way though.
(This comment is em dash and semicolon free.)
Every time I use a semicolon, I picture Kurt Vonnegut shaking his head at me in disappointment. I usually end up changing it.
Dearest Gillian, the written word isn't adequate to express your fake British-ish accent. BTW, how IS Madonna?
I use them all the time, but then I probably read too much John Irving in my formative years.
I've found the "dash" has replaced (and as often augmented) a role once played by the semicolon within my writing.
The dash seems to me more flexible in its clause-joining powers -- bridging a greater space between short pause of a comma and the full stop of a period.
What is the world coming to?
It should be "Poe: a ho."
Semicolons are for programming.
@7: A colon would have been more appropriate there.
Whoops... took too long before posting, sorry to repeat @28.
@7, that should probably be Poe: a ho. Not that I'm a prescriptivist; I understood exactly what you meant.
@7, sorry to pick on you. Looks like I was unintentionally playing pile-on; shoulda looked before I leapt.
I was recently editing a piece that my SO was working on when I offered up a bit of criticism.
ME: "Gee, you sure are a big fan of the semicolon."
HIM: "I love semicolons! They're artful, and not many people know how to use them properly."
Fact of the Day! George Orwell actively campaigned against the use of the semicolon, believing it to be a contributing factor in the erosion of language and meaning. He argued that the semicolon blurs the distinction between the comma and the colon, thereby obscuring the exact nature of the relationship between the two phrases it sits between.
I tend to agree with Orwell, however I love that topics of conversation around my house on any given night regularly include such dorktastic things as my SO's passion for punctuation marks and literary devices.
I always use semicolons for linking independent clauses; they come in very handy.
I love semicolons and "whom" (both in writing and in speech), but I also like spelling words with redundant 'e's on the end, like "shoppe" and "grille" and "olde", so I guess I'm not a good judge of how our written language should evolve.
@34: I don't understand George Orwell's problem. Sure, people mix up commas and semi-colons, but colons and semi-colons? How could those ever be confused? They don't even do *close* to the same job; while confusing commas and semi-colons is like confusing cell phones with PDAs, confusing colons and semi-colons is like confusing cell phones with blocks of cream cheese.
(Comment 7 nonwithstanding, of course.)
Vonnegut really had it in for trannies and hermaphrodites. I wonder what brought that on?
As a programmer I have an intimate and loving relationship with ;
Whatever. Vonnegut was a hack.
Semicolons have plenty of established purposes, but it's the sheer nature of their obscurity that will keep them alive. There will always be the William Safires of the world who will use them just for the appearance of erudition.
Without a semicolon, "All contents © Index Newspapers, LLC" would be, well, just that.
Oh, well, that's interesting, the slog software added the missing semicolon on © when I previewed, but your replacement isn't recursive, and &copy got around it, but of course I had to skip previewing to get that in (so I don't know for sure what this will look like when posted)
Also without a semicolon,
main(){printf("hello world/n")}
would generate error messages rather than the intended output.
Hi Paul--you used the semicolon incorrectly in your own sentence, so maybe you're better off doing without. The part of the sentence after your semicolon could not stand alone as a sentence; it would have better been separated with a comma or a dash.
I love the semi, and would hate to remove any useful and unique device from the toolbox. It can add a nice rhythm to the usual declarative drone.
Bring it on, haters!
