A9 TV; TV Kayseri; Samsun AKS, 20 April 2011
45- Allah created every animal from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things.
Allah creates what He chooses. There is no doubt that Allah is mighty enough to create all things.
Allah says that water lies at the origin of all living things. Water constitutes the greater part of the human body. All living things are largely water.
46- We have sent down Signs making things clear. Allah guides whoever He wills to a straight path.
Abjad (numerological) calculation gives a date of 2044.
47- They say, 'We have belief in Allah and in the Messenger and we obey.' Then after that a group of them turn away. Such people are not believers.
People generally believe, but a while later they then abandon prayer and religion. You will probably have seen many people who change their attitudes later on. The Qur'an is referring to that.
48- When they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger, so that he can judge between them, a group of them immediately turn away.
Allah says there will be a group that refuses to accept when it is suggested we all behave according to the moral values of the Qur'an.
49- But if right is on their side, they come to him most submissively!
When something happens, people first of all want their own rights to be protected. But one side will always lose out in justice. I mean, they will regard themselves as losing out. If two people go to court, one will be in the right. But both try to be in the right at the same time.
50- Is there a sickness in their hearts or do they have misgivings or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them? No, it is simply that they are wrongdoers.
They do not trust in the justice of our Prophet (saas). The Qur'an is referring to that. What must believers do? They must listen and obey. I mean, they must leave justice to our Prophet (saas). And that also applies to the time of the way of the Mahdi. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will decide on justice. People will fall into doubt or uncertainty. They will not say their rights have been violated. Because there may be depths to the matter they are unaware of. They will have trust, insha'Allah.
37- not distracted by trade or commerce from the remembrance of Allah and the establishment of prayer (salat) and the payment of alms (zakat); fearing a day when all hearts and eyes will be in turmoil –
For example, I say to people, "Why do you not live by religion? Why do you not espouse Islamic Union? Why do you not pray?" And what do they say? "We are busy with our businesses, we look after our families and children, we are very busy. We don't have time." People have fallen into this difficulty in the End Times. Checks and IOUs have bounced. Goods have been held up at Customs and the formalities have not been completed. They live their lives along those lines. They have been taken over by passion. Yet Allah says, "They must also pray and give alms. These things are no obstacle to that." For example, they can still carry on studying at university. They can still work. But Allah says I will give you the time to do what is right and to pray. So long as people are sincere. Honest people will always find time to give alms and pray, to perform their religious observances and to spread Islam. There is a miracle there. A miracle will come about, but only if one is sincere.
The Qur'an describes people's subconscious immorality, trickery, lack of good conscience and tactics in a most perfect manner. This is also in the Gospel and the Torah. But it is most detailed in the Qur'an. People's weaknesses, the false techniques employed by hypocrites, and even the effects that arise in their bodies, are all described perfectly in the Qur'an. Like a book of psychiatry. People's character flaws are described in great detail. That is why people who understand the Qur'an very well are also very rational. A person can be very intelligent but also very stupid. But someone who understands the Qur'an very well and puts it into practice very well can never cause trouble for himself or anyone around. That detail can be seen if one looks at the Qur'an and thinks about the details in it. The Qur'an is the most highly developed book in terms of describing human beings. The Qur'an describes in great detail how we should behave toward other people, the Earth, trees and plants. The Qur'an is like the instructions that come with medicines. "If you live this way, you will be happy. But if you do that, you will be unhappy," it says. It sets it all out in great detail. That is why people who are busy with this world must also read the Qur'an and learn how the world is to be used. Otherwise society will go wrong, the system will go wrong.
23- There is no doubt that Allah knows what they keep secret and what they make public. He does not love people puffed up with pride.
He does not love people who are full of self-love. The system of ignorance is full of obstinate people who are very pleased with themselves. But an obstinate person will collapse psychologically. But a humble, sincere person will appear attractive to himself and to others.
24- When they are asked, 'What has your Lord sent down?' they say, 'Myths and legends of previous peoples.'
Marxists who interpret the Qur'an say the Qur'an is just an ancient myth. Allah describes their common language in great detail in the Qur'an.
25- So on the Day of Rising they will carry the full weight of their own burdens and some of the burdens of those they misguided without knowledge. What an evil load they bear!
Ignorant people cause themselves and other people to stray.
26- Those before them also plotted, and Allah came at their building from the foundations and the roof caved in on top of them. The punishment came at them from where they did not expect.
There are mendacious systems now, as well. As there were in the past. They never expected science to demolish Darwinism. Allah dealt them a severe blow with proteins. A fundamental blow. The whole Darwinist system has collapsed. What have I done? I used science, and millions of details, to fundamentally demolish Darwinism. The blow came from a direction they never expected. A young man appeared in Istanbul and demolished a system espoused by thousands of universities.
27- Then on the Day of Rising He will disgrace them, and say, 'Where are My partner gods for whose sake you became so hostile?' Those given knowledge will say, 'Today there is disgrace and evil for the unbelievers.'
28- As for those the angels take in death while they are wronging themselves, they will offer their submission: 'We did not do any evil.' Oh yes you did! Allah knows what you were doing.
Allah again gives examples from human psychology. For example, a thief will not say he is a thief. A murderer will not say he is a murderer. It is the same with unbelievers. Were they not the ones who spend their whole lives not believing in Islam and the Qur'an?

Major Environmental Laws Come in Election Years – Climate is No Exception in 2010
When the Congress returns from Easter Recess next week, 116 days will remain on the legislative calendar before Election Day on November 9. This relative dearth of time has led some proponents of climate action to worry whether there is enough political appetite for Congress to pass comprehensive climate and energy legislation while midterm elections loom. Certainly, the November elections are on the minds of legislators. However, elections have always factored into Congressional decision-making and action. Government accountability through elections is what our Republic is founded on, after all. Despite impending campaigns, nearly every major environmental law of the last 40 years has been passed during an election year.
In general, Congress has a history of making big policy decisions during election years. USA Today recently found that over the last 20 years, Congresses have actually passed 70% more laws in election years than in other years. What's more is that these laws are not just limited to post office dedications and other less-than-essential topics. Comprehensive legislation has often passed in election years, including the 1994 crime bill, 1996 welfare reform, 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform, and even the health care reform bill this year.
Turning specifically to environmental laws, 22 major laws (listed below), beginning with the National Environmental Policy Act signed in 1970, were enacted in election years. For example, October 1986 – just weeks from Election Day – saw the passage of significant amendments to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund).
A clear precedent for climate change legislation passing in 2010 is the Clean Air Act amendments that passed in late 1990. Just as President Obama campaigned on passing climate legislation, President George H.W. Bush campaigned to enact new air pollution laws. Bush worked with a group of bipartisan legislators to have a revolutionary package of amendments introduced in the House by Rep. Dingell (D-MI) and in the Senate by Sen. Chafee (R-RI). This package included a cap-and-trade program for power plant emissions of acid rain-causing NOx and SO2. After the bipartisan bills easily passed both chambers by mid-year, the conference committee, led by Sen. Baucus (D-MT), agreed to a compromise bill that passed 401-25 in the House and 89-10 in the Senate. Passage occurred by these wide, bipartisan margins on October 26 and 27 – not bad for two weeks before an election.
Comprehensive climate and energy legislation should be the next in the series of major environmental laws passed in a midterm election year. Like the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990, other environmental laws have required bipartisan compromise. Democrats and Republicans have had to reach agreement on environmental policy before and they can do so again, even in an election year. Making good public policy is the best politics, and a strong bipartisan effort on the serious challenge of climate change is something that both parties should be accountable for in November.
Environmental laws passed in election years since 1970 include:
- National Environmental Policy Act (1970)
- Clean Air Act Amendments (1970)
- Occupational Safety and Health Act (1970)
- Marine Mammal Protection Act (1972)
- Coastal Zone Management Act (1972)
- Clean Water Act (1972)
- Safe Drinking Water Act (1974)
- Fisheries Conservation and Management Act (1976)
- Toxic Substances Control Act (1976)
- Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (1976)
- Federal Land Policy and Management Act (1976)
- Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (1980)
- Nuclear Waste Policy Act (1982)
- Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (1986)
- Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (1986)
- Ocean Dumping Act (1988)
- Shore Protection Act (1988)
- Oil Pollution Act (1990)
- Clean Air Act Amendments (1990)
- Pollution Prevention Act (1990)
- Food Quality Protection Act (1996)
- Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments (1996)
Environmental laws passed in non-election years include:
- Endangered Species Act (1973)
- Clean Air Act Amendments (1977)

text: The movie Fault In Our Stars has not even opened yet, but it already holds one box office record. According to Fandango, the movie has become the number one biggest pre-selling romantic drama in the service's history. This doesn't mean the movie will be super huge because the previous record holders include The Vow, Safe Haven and Dear John. It is a nice little publicity boost though because now everyone will write a little piece about the record and people who were on the fence about going or didn't know about the movie might end up seeing it. The Vow did open to $41M in its first weekend. One thing Fandango made clear though is that the Twilight franchise is not included in the romantic drama category. Aren't you glad they aren't making any more of those movies? Well, not for awhile anyway. They will end up making some based on scripts rather than the books. Fandango says Twilight is classified as a fantasy romance. That category sounds like something Lindsay Lohan charges extra for.

Aircrack works on some machines but not others?? Here's my example:
Both test machines:
1. Same USB key w/ BT3
2. Same dictionary file - there's one single entry..my key.
3. Same capture file
machine 1 -
aircrack-ng -w key.lst -b 00:17:9A:46:33:B7 file-01.cap
The above returns the correct key in "key.lst"
machine 2 -
aircrack-ng -w key.lst -b 00:17:9A:46:33:B7 file-01.cap
The above says : Passphrase not in dictionary
I am looking for help as to why this could be?
Yup - it's the exact same USB key. Same version of Aircrack, same everything. The machine it works on is a Dell laptop. The machine it doesn't work on is an HP "Workstation" machine w/ SATA drives. I have that sata drive formatted as ext3.
Yes - it is interesting....and irritating.
They have exactly the same wireless card? Brand/Model/Revision ?
I'm doing the capture on the laptop - then was attempting to use the desktop to crack. It's a RAID0 system with 4 gigs memory and a core Duo..nice for cracking.

Mayor Elaine Scruggs is the recipient of the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award for regional planning in Maricopa County.
Scruggs received the award from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) during its recently held 2012 Desert Peaks Awards ceremony in recognition for her 22 years of service exemplifying regional cooperation.
"It has been my joy and honor to serve on the MAG Regional Council and various MAG committees as we collaborated to create a Valleywide freeway system, plan for the expansion of airports and airport amenities, develop air quality measures and address human services needs," said Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs. "Working with elected officials from every city in Maricopa County and the county itself has been one of the best parts of my public service. Supporting our efforts to address current and long-range concerns that affect all Valley cities have been the talented and dedicated MAG staff members under the leadership of Executive Director Dennis Smith. I am overwhelmed by this award and want to thank all I have worked alongside during these remarkable 22 years of progress and regional partnership."
Since becoming mayor in 1993, Scruggs has held leadership positions on numerous regional organizations and committees. She has been a member of the MAG Regional Council since 1993 and served as chair of MAG from 1997-1998. Mayor Elaine Scruggs is a charter member and current member of the MAG Transportation Policy Committee, which she chaired from 2004-2006.
She also served on the MAG Executive Committee, Transportation Subcommittee and Regional Aviation System Plan Policy Committee. In addition, she is a current member of the MAG Economic Development Committee.
In his remarks while presenting the award to Scruggs, MAG Chair and Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman said she was "instrumental in accelerating the regional freeway system completion by seven years" and that she "continues to work closely with citizens and is noted for being visible, accessible and approachable."
Earlier this year, Scruggs was honored as one of Arizona's 48 most intriguing women throughout the state's 100-year history as part the Arizona Centennial Legacy Project.

First ImpressionsBy Ricardo Sumalavia
Translated by Daniel Alarcón.
In the months before the end of my last year of high school, I began working in the afternoons at a small printing press. My mother was not opposed. I was friendly with the owner as well as his wife, an enormous and attractive woman who visited my house now and then so my mother could cut her hair or dye it in whatever color current style demanded. I learned the publishing trade with the enthusiasm of one who hoped to see his own poems in print one day. For the time being, I was only in charge of placing letters of lead type, and I was always careful not to get them out of order, so that I wouldn't have to place them all again, line by line, as tended to happen whenever Señora Leonor, the owner's wife, came by the print shop. Her presence was always a bit unsettling to me, and she was well aware of this. I suspect she had always known it, even before I did, ever since I was a child, when I didn't understand the transitory pleasure that came from brushing against her legs or her hips on the pretext of playing with my little cars, before I was sent out to the patio, leaving Señora Leonor and that smile that would electrify me years later in her husband's print shop. If her visits were sporadic, it only made the effect more disconcerting: an unease that I tried to pour into my adolescent poems, to be transferred later onto an old plank of wood in the composition box that I kept hidden beneath the other work of the day—that is, if my shame didn't force me to undo it all.

Crooked Numbers: July in the Minors
Check out some of the past month's odder MiLB moments
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | August 3, 2009 8:24 AM ET
What's A Guy Gotta Do Around Here? On July 5, Byron Wiley of the Dayton Dragons and Brent Greer of the Yakima Bears both hit three home runs in a single game. And, in both instances, their team still managed to lose.
At least the Bears made it close, losing to Everett by a score of 15-14. The Dragons, meanwhile, still found themselves on the wrong end of a nine-run deficit. The club lost to the West Michigan WhiteCaps, 20-11, in a game that was over almost as soon as it started. The WhiteCaps sent 17 men to the plate in the first inning en route to scoring a team-record 13 runs. The long frame included seven walks and took three pitchers to complete. Wiley's homer in the first inning gave the Dragons a 2-0 lead, but when he batted one inning later his club was down by 11.
In any case, the lost-cause power outbursts weren't indicative of the kind of season either player is having. Geer has hit just two homers since July 5, and Wiley has belted three.
A Vicious Cycle: Michael Bertram of the Lakeland Flying Tigers joined the "career-night in a losing cause" club on July 18, when he hit for the cycle in a 12-11 defeat at the hands (claws?) of the Charlotte Stone Crabs. Bertram completed the feat with an RBI double in the seventh inning, which gave the Flying Tigers a seemingly comfortable 10-3 lead. The Stone Crabs scored nine runs in the bottom of the eighth, however, and just three of those runs were earned. Bertram's throwing error was one of two costly miscues in the frame.
Beerer Anything But A Cold One: Converted pitcher Scott Beerer was promoted to the Modesto Nuts on July 10 after hitting .558 as a member of the Tri-City Dust Devils. At the time of his callup, Beerer led the Northwest League with 24 hits -- despite not having enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title.
Darn Near Invincible: Right-hander Chad Lee received a promotion to Class A Kane County earlier this month, and for good reason. The 23-year-old made three starts for the Vancouver Canadians and hurled 15 scoreless innings. Opponents hit just .023 against him -- one hit in 44 at-bats.
Free Baseball Finally Results In Winning Baseball: On July 29, the Asheville Tourists eked out a 5-4 win over the Delmarva Shorebirds in a game that took 10 innings to complete. The win was the Tourists' first in extra innings this season, improving their record in that category to 1-9.
The Omaha Royals snapped an even longer extra-inning losing streak on July 12. They defeated the New Orleans Zephyrs, 3-1, in 12 innings -- Omaha's first extra-inning victory in 12 attempts.
The "0"-Royals: Omaha's lack of success in extra innings is indicative of their season thus far, as the club is mired in last place in the Pacific Coast League's American North Division. But of the club's 43 victories of the season, 14 have been a shutout of the opposing team. This not only leads the league by a wide margin (no other team has more than eight), but it marks the most shutouts the club has recorded since 1990. Omaha won 86 games that year -- twice as many as they have thus far in 2009.
On the offensive side of the equation, the O-Royals have been blanked in just two of their 61 losses.
Less A Rotation, More An Endless String: The Charlotte Knights recently completed a stretch in which they started nine pitchers over a span of 10 days. From the club's media department: "[This] included a spot start from RHP Derek Rodriguez on July 20, a pair of Triple-A debuts from RHP Matt Zaleski and LHP Aaron Poreda and a start from RHP Lucas Harrell, LHP Wes Whisler and RHP Jack Egbert. It also featured RHP Jeff Marquez's last start before being placed on the disabled list, and a Major League rehab start from RHP Bartolo Colon."
Mr. Economical: Between July 25 and July 29, the Bulls' Jason Childers picked up four saves in as many opportunities. He threw 10 pitches or less in all four of these one-inning outings, and just 31 pitches overall. Of these 31 pitches, 24 went for strikes.
Hudspeth Update: Previous editions of this column have noted the extreme disparity in pitcher Casey Hudspeth's home/road splits. Over 14 starts with Double-A Corpus Christi this season, the 25 year-old went 4-0 with a 3.48 ERA at home, but 0-6 with a 10.31 ERA on the road.
Hudspeth was demoted to Class A Advanced Lancaster at the beginning of July, but thus far the trend has continued. He is 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA at home but 0-2 with a 9.64 ERA on the road.
Home on the Road: The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees played as the home team in four different cities over the past month. One of these cities was Scranton, of course. But severe drainage issues at PNC Field caused the club to relocate home games scheduled for July 9-12. Two of these contests were played in Lehigh Valley, and the other two in Syracuse. The Yankees then played as the "home" team in Toledo two weeks later, as the two clubs had to make up a pair of postponed contests that were originally scheduled to be played in Scranton. The Toledo front office poked fun at the situation in several ways -- members of the front office staff wore Yankees apparel, and clips from "The Office" (which takes place in Scranton) were shown on the videoboard.
Offensive Output Most Anomalous: Anthony Jackson of the Tulsa Drillers has hit four triples over 94 games this season, but three of these three-baggers came over a span of just six at-bats. The switch-hitting outfielder tripled in the ninth inning against San Antonio on July 12 and hit two more the next night.
Eight Straight Across the Plate: Kyle Hudson of the Delmarva Shorebirds scored at least one run in eight consecutive games this month. The final game of this streak was by far the most impressive, as the 22-year-old crossed the plate five times as part of a 19-0 rout of Lexington. It then took him 11 games to score another five runs.
Walk This Way: Gwinnett's Reid Gorecki has walked 31 times over 90 games this season, not a prodigious rate by any means. The Queens native was nonetheless able to draw a free pass in 10 straight games this month -- one in each game he played between July 4 and 17. Gorecki has drawn just four walks in his ensuing 11 contests.
No K is OK: On July 5, Junior Lake of the Peoria Chiefs went 0-for-4 against the Beloit Snappers. This in-and-of itself was nothing to celebrate, but Lake's performance did have one positive aspect -- it snapped his string of 21 consecutive starts with at least one strikeout. On the season, Lake has fanned 103 times in 339 at-bats.
Simply the Wes: Apparently, the only way to keep Gwinnett's Wes Timmons off of the bases is to get him out of the game. The first baseman is currently on the disabled list with a broken thumb, but he'll have a chance to extend his International League-best 40-game on-base streak when he returns. When the streak began on May 27, Timmons was hitting .191. He is now hitting 100 points higher, and he boasts a .435 on-base percentage to boot, which would officially lead the league if Timmons' absence hadn't made him miss the requisite plate appearances.
They Can't Hit What They Can't Reach On July 1, Charleston RiverDogs right-hander Andrew Brackman pitched 3 2/3 hitless innings against the Greenville Drive. That was the good news. The bad news was that he walked eight batters, allowed five runs and suffered the loss. The 6-foot-10 hurler had a rough go of it to the dissonant tune of an 0-5 record and 13.76 ERA in July.
Yepez, He Can: It is not uncommon to see position players take the mound during a blowout as a way to preserve the team's pitching staff for more competitive situations. But what is uncommon is a position player pitching for as long as Marcos Yepez did against the Toledo Mud Hens on July 23. The moonlighting infielder came in to pitch with two outs in the third inning, with his Syracuse Chiefs losing by a score 12-0. He stayed on the mound for 4 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on 10 hits and a walk. Jorge Padilla came on to relieve Yepez in the eighth inning, at which point Yepez transitioned to third base.
An Ultra-Rare Combination: Jonathan Gaston has been enjoying a phenomenal season as a member of the Lancaster JetHawks, leading all of Minor League Baseball with 29 home runs. But what is perhaps even more impressive is that Gaston has also ripped 14 triples -- tied for the most in all of Minor League Baseball.
All Good Things Must Come To An End: Joey Williamson of the Modesto Nuts suffered the loss against Bakersfield on July 9, allowing five runs over six innings of work. This marked the first loss of Williamson's career -- he had gone 18-0 over his first 76 appearances, a period of time spanning four teams and three seasons. Williamson has made four starts since absorbing his first defeat, picking up two victories en route to running his record to 11-1 on the season and 20-1 overall.
A Good Thing That Has Not Come To An End: Brady Shoemaker made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Bristol Sox on June 23 and went 1-for-3. The 22-year-old left fielder has gone on to hit safely in all 28 games he has played, ending the month of July with a .415 average (44-for-106).
Mastro, If You Please: On July 25, Darin Mastroianni set a New Hampshire Fisher Cats franchise record when he recorded four outfield assists in a game against the Portland Sea Dogs. This is a rare feat, indeed. Consider that it has occurred just 11 times at the Major League level, with the most recent such incident taking place in 1928. Mastroianni threw out John Ottness at home plate in the first inning, gunned down Jon Still at the plate in the second and sixth, and nailed Matt Sheely at third base in the fifth. The Fisher Cats nonetheless lost the game, 4-3.
Getting It Out Of Their System: The South Bend Silver Hawks dropped an 11-4 decision to the West Michigan Whitecaps on July 1. In the loss, the Silver Hawks pitchers allowed 21 hits, while the defense made six errors. Both were season highs.

Commentator David Wells won the last Reds playoff victory.
Commentator David Wells won the last Reds playoff victory.
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
Honestly the 2010 NLDS against the Phillies is kind of a blur for me (outside of Game 1) even though I can remember almost everything else about my life from just two years ago.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
An outstanding quote from one of deadspins commenters in the open thread.
Mat Latos would not look out-of-place in a Cobra Kai gi.
The rotations according to ESPN:
Oct 7, 2012 CIN (Arroyo) @ SF (Bumgarner) 9:37 PM ET
Oct 9, 2012 SF (Lincecum) @ CIN (Cueto) 5:37 PM ET
Oct 10, 2012 SF @ CIN (Bailey) TBA
Oct 11, 2012 SF @ CIN (Latos) TBA
If they win tomorrow, would you move Bailey up to game three and possibly have a chance to have Jonny and Mat ready for start the NLCS?
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
If the Reds don't win another postseason game, tonight was about heroic efforts.
Sam LeCure was a hero tonight. He could not have entered into a more chaotic situation, kept order long enough for Latos to warm up.
Mat Latos was even more heroic. He was loosening as soon as it was clear Cueto was done. He was fired up and ready to go.
Votto made a heroic reflex play on the DP line drive.
Ludwick made two heroic catches.
Broxton made a heroic 3-2 pitch, outside corner at the knees.
BP got a hanger and didn't miss it, but I think his 9th inning single was even more heroic. And that diving stop backing up a play? In honor of Thom, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
And for a parting shot--Braves/Cards, that's how you play the game.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
I cherish the top of the 9th more than any point of the game because the Reds manufactured a couple runs when they absolutely needed it most. They are going to have to repeat that many more times to get through the remainder of the postseason.

The strange fish of the deep. The one who does not shiver in the freeze has appeared upon the shores of the endless sun. He came bearing warning, yet died in the toxicity near shore.
His appearance will signal a new era for the new-aged, plastic masses of Hollywood and beyond. No silicone will rescue Costa Mesa nor Brentwood. Compton will continue on as normal as well as Panorama City. Will Silverlake still be silver? I do not know.

These beautiful ceramic works of art are not just another pretty piece of sculpture, they are lovely little drinking fountains designed just for cats. Ceramic artist Keith Davitt has been refining his drinking fountain design for years and he has several styles that cats seem to love. What a great way to keep kitty hydrated and add a lovely fountain to your home.
These fountains are very simple, making them easy to keep clean. Each one comes with a unique glazed bowl and a pump, and most designs include a raised pottery piece that creates a little waterfall. The pump is hidden between the ceramic pieces and the cord goes neatly out the bottom portion of the bowl. All materials and glazes are certified food safe.
Keith sent us a fountain to test and, as you can see below, Simba loves it (and so do all the others!) The fountain was very easy to set-up and it looks so nice on the ledge above the kitchen counter. You can see the three simple pieces included in the package: bowl, pump with cord, and pottery cover for the pump. I adjusted the pump to create a little bubbling fountain because I like the sound of trickling water, but the pump can also be adjusted to keep the water moving silently.
The kitty below is Bijou, Keith's cat who is the inspiration for his fountains. Keith is always experimenting with new fountain designs. You can see his latest work in his Etsy shop. Fountains range from $62 to $178, depending on the complexity of the design.
Keith is offering a cat fountain (similar to the one I received) for a giveaway! To enter to win, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing on February 25, 2011. One entry per person. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses in the US and Canada.

Bloomberg News
Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney's compensation climbed 20 percent to $27.5 million last year, before the planemaker's marquee 787 Dreamliner was grounded by overheating batteries.
McNerney, 63, received $10.8 million of incentive pay in addition to his $1.93 million salary and $840,775 in other compensation, Chicago-based Boeing said today in proxy materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. He earned $23 million in 2011.
The 787 Dreamliner has been grounded since Jan. 16 as Boeing and regulators led by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration probe the cause of the battery malfunctions. The plane entered service in 2011 after three years of delays caused by supply chain disruptions, assembly problems and a strike by its machinists' union.
McNerney's incentive pay included a $4.44 million annual bonus and $6.38 million from a long-term program as Boeing exceeded 2012 and three-year profit targets. The value of his pension increased $6.37 million, according to the filing, and he received $7.53 million in stock and option awards.
McNerney's realized compensation, or income reported to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for the period, was $20.1 million, compared with $12.4 million a year earlier.
Jim Albaugh, who served as head of Boeing's commercial airplanes division until his retirement last year, earned $9.63 million in 2012, versus $8.49 million in 2011, according to the filing. Albaugh took a lump-sum payment of supplemental retirement benefits of $12.1 million as he left Boeing effective Oct. 1, according to the filing.
Boeing said he also was due to receive service-based equity and performance awards that had a value of $5.54 million as of Dec. 31. Under Internal Revenue Service rules, the final value of that package can't be calculated until after April 1, six months following his retirement, Boeing said.

The Speaker is the only actor in this Shakespearean tragedy who can force action.
And in typical Shakespearean fashion, the episode was still not done with everything.
Looking at the sections today, the Shakespearean range of motives and destinies is still striking.
Norm Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, says the story is nothing short of Shakespearean.
For the non-English majors among you, "dirk" is the Shakespearean term for dagger.
Shakespearean scholars have pointed out the connection between the dramatist and the exposer of exorcism.
It is the only Shakespearean play without a deep philosophical idea.
Having discussed the substance of a Shakespearean tragedy, we should naturally go on to examine the form.
The third act is "spoiled, by the characteristic Shakespearean language."
He loved Shakespeare's plays above all others and never missed a chance to see the leading Shakespearean actors.

Alexander Wang Fall 2014
The axis of cool has been shifting from the island of Manhattan and across the Williamsburg Bridge for some years now, and if you needed any more convincing that Brooklyn is the new Paris, then Alexander Wang's show at the Navy Yard tonight would have to be it. The news didn't exactly inspire much joie de vivre with fashion folks, and with rumors of 30 inches of snow earlier in the week, there was reason to grumble. Thankfully Mother Nature was kind, and most show attendees arrived without much delay; the savviest in the bunch zoomed across the river by water taxi in virtually no time at all.
It just so happens that Wang had been studying weather patterns in preparation for fall 2014, and the opening moments of the show were set to rolling claps of thunder and lightning. "We started thinking a lot about extreme conditions and the great outdoors—like, mountain climbing and camping," he said before the show. "It was really about taking that idea of survival to an urban landscape." The opening look—a V-neck tunic dress over a high-neck rubberized leather button-down—came with the kind of pockets you'd expect to find on the back of a Navy Seal; and that's even before you counted the compartment at the side of those fantastic resistant waders, boots almost tall enough to stand their ground in the event of a Category 1 storm.
As Wang pointed out, the pockets were designed to carry not rounds of ammunition, but the accoutrements of a cool girl: "her cigs, her cell phone, her lighter," he said. The bags that looked like vintage hip flasks came with moving parts, so essentially a woman can build her own survival kit. The outdoorsy reference came through in more subtle ways, too, along the unfinished hemline of a shearling jacket—arguably this season's answer to the ubiquitous biker—which had the rugged edges of a snow-topped mountainscape. On the flip side of that were sartorial flourishes of the dandy, and silk neckties and button-downs were a nice counterpoint to all the utilitarian weather-ready elements.
It's strange to think that the phrase polar vortex has been trending for less than a month or so, but its impact on our world—much less our wardrobes—in the coming years, is very real. The show's grand finale, which featured a series of models dressed in black jackets that showed splashes of hypercolor after being exposed to a conveyor belt of heaters, was certainly a spectacular reminder of that. As far as taking fashion's temperatures goes, Wang continues to show his unfailing ability for forecasting what's hot and what's cool.

LOS ANGELES: "Lincoln today is beyond partisan politics," Steven Spielberg said in a recent interview about his new movie, Lincoln.
"Yeahhhh," said screenwriter Tony Kushner, almost teasing the director into claiming the country's first Republican president for the left. "Just as long as the partisans all agree we're involved in trying to make a government work."
This spirited discussion between two modern American Democrats was settled finally by London-born Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln's Lincoln. "It's not as if we've made huge progress," Day-Lewis said. "Progress is kind of like climbing on shale. You do slip back to go forwards."
Spielberg, 65, the Oscar-winning filmmaker known for his spectacle-driven, technically impeccable movies, and Kushner, 56, a Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright known for his politically driven, linguistically virtuosic plays, seem unlikely accomplices in making Hollywood's first feature film about Abraham Lincoln in more than 70 years.
Though both Jewish, liberal and at the top of their respective crafts, the two men have markedly different creative styles — Spielberg as a mainstream Hollywood hitmaker, Kushner as a literary provocateur.
But the two spent seven years together sculpting Lincoln, which opens in the US this week (and in Australia in February), working to reveal the man behind the monuments.
The story focuses on an intense, four-month chunk of Lincoln's life at the end of the Civil War in 1865, when the president was trying to pass the 13th amendment to abolish slavery — and to protect his family from the loss of another son.
Lincoln features a 140-person cast including Sally Field as mercurial First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, David Strathairn as the president's trusted Secretary of State William Seward, Tommy Lee Jones as fiery abolitionist Congressman Thaddeus Stevens and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Lincoln's sensitive son, Robert.
Though it's set during a horrific war, it's a story that's mostly about backroom politics, practiced with cunning and a certain joie de vivre.
Spielberg has nurtured a fascination with Lincoln since childhood — "I was strangely compelled by his awkwardness juxtaposed against his historic accomplishments," he said. In 2001, while the historian was still researching her book, Spielberg optioned Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, a comprehensive, four-man biography of Lincoln's cabinet that President Obama has since cited as an inspiration.
"People just accept Lincoln as a part of our national landscape, and they move on to whatever is contemporary and interesting," Spielberg said, interviewed at a Beverly Hills hotel. "But I wanted to know more about him — I know what he did, but why did he do it?"
Spielberg and Kushner have worked together before — Kushner, who is best known for his Pulitzer-winning play about AIDS, Angels in America, wrote Munich, Spielberg's 2005 film about Israeli assassins in the aftermath of the 1972 Olympics — and they share a curiosity about politics and a generally optimistic view of democracy. Kushner came aboard Lincoln after a few other screenwriters had tried and failed to deliver a script to Spielberg's liking — one early take focused on Lincoln's friendship with Frederick Douglass.
Making Lincoln took longer than the Civil War — Kushner grappled with the script for five years, missing several deadlines as he took it from a 500-page, mini-series-length first draft to a 149-minute feature. At one point Liam Neeson, who had been attached to play Lincoln, moved on to work on other projects.
Early on, Spielberg collected a group of Civil War historians, including James McPherson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom, to meet with him and Kushner. "Jim McPherson said the Civil War is a landscape so vast that even a figure the size of Lincoln could get lost in it, and I loved that image," Kushner said.
At Spielberg's insistence, Kushner narrowed the scope of the movie to the short period it covers. The condensed approach allowed the filmmakers to craft the story of the vote for the 13th amendment as a procedural, the tension heightening with each vote Lincoln wins over to his side, and to include small, humanising life moments, such as Lincoln changing the logs on the fire or holding his son Tad on his lap.
The intimate storytelling approach also helped attract the notoriously selective Day-Lewis, who initially said he felt "shy" about Lincoln. "In Europe we have a much sketchier impression of him," said the London-born actor, who had never worked with Spielberg before. "I thought it was going to be tremendously difficult to discover Lincoln, the way he was as a man."
In the spring of 2010, Spielberg and Kushner flew to Day-Lewis' home in Ireland to persuade him to take the role, one that has been played before on stage and screen by such quintessentially American actors as Henry Fonda, Hal Holbrook (who appears in Lincoln ) and Sam Waterston.
Once aboard, the 55-year-old Day-Lewis spent a year in preparation, beginning by diving into Lincoln's speeches and writing. The actor, whose father was England's poet laureate, was delighted by the president's use of certain words — "disenthrall," meaning free, for instance, which he petitioned Kushner to put in the script.
"I'd never seen that word before, and I'm always looking for a context ever since where I can use that word, I love it so much," he said. "The richest source, which creates a very broad, illuminated avenue towards an understanding of Lincoln and his life is through his own words and his own language."
There are no recordings of Lincoln's speaking voice, so to find his character's intonation, Day-Lewis relied on written reports from the era that Lincoln spoke in a high pitch. He read Lincoln's writing aloud, and hoped for inspiration to strike. It did — resulting in a treble Kentucky twang.
"All that we know of him are the static images," Day-Lewis said. "Everything else is up for grabs. What usually happens for me if I'm lucky — if I'm lucky — is that I begin to hear a voice at some point in my inner ear and if it pleases me I then set about the work of trying to reproduce it. And that's it. I talk to myself a lot."
Day-Lewis, who is tall and naturally slight, with sharp cheekbones, was physically a good fit to play Lincoln, who was 6-foot-4 in an era when the average height of a man was 5-foot-7. "Every time Steven said, 'How 'bout so and so?' I said, 'How tall is he?"' Day-Lewis said, recalling casting. "It was like buying cloth by the yard. I wanted to be the tallest person in the room."
For Spielberg, the movie meant leaving his stylistic comfort zone to tell a story almost wholly dependent upon acting and language. There are no large battle sequences of the type in Saving Private Ryan, nor is there the warm, nostalgic lighting of a feel-good film like War Horse.
"I was getting into a performance art form of literature and language, without any of my super-strengths that I could turn to to make something magically stand out to audiences," Spielberg said. "It's an experience I've always desired to have and never allowed myself to have it until Lincoln came into my life."
Visually, Spielberg was inspired by the idea of the White House during Lincoln's era resembling a haunted house. During the film's 53-day shoot in Virginia, he and his longtime cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski, lighted for the gloomy 19th century, when candles and natural light left interior spaces dour and dim.
"Part of the paradox of the movie is that even though I find it very hope-producing, it's a chilly, dark film," said Kushner. "It's not full of an easy radiance. The radiance comes from a deeper place."
Coming out within three days of election day with an embattled leader at its centre, "Lincoln" inevitably invites discussions of modern electoral politics, and early marketing of the film doesn't shy from that. A two-minute ad for the film ran on the major TV networks during the first presidential debate, and distributor Disney and one of the film's co-financiers Participant Media have created curricula for high school students and teachers titled "Stand Tall" around the themes of leadership and civil engagement.
Spielberg, however, said he deliberately opted to wait until after the election to release Lincoln, lest it become a political football.
"I don't know what kind of movie audience will wind up getting to see Lincoln," he said. "But I wanted this film to be seen in a big communal venue with a lot of people who didn't know each other coming together. I wanted this shared experience between strangers who can understand why we are who we are today, in some measure because of the work that Lincoln did."

title: World's Weirdest: Baby Beluga Beached

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
Beluga whales are known as the canaries of the sea because they have a repertoire of high-pitched sounds they use to communicate with one another.
They're very social, and frankly, once they start squealing-they just won't shut up.
Babies start making noises within hours of being born.
But all the whistling in the world won't do any good, if the baby finds himself beached.
This pod of belugas has moved into shallow waters.
It's summertime in the Arctic. Time to molt.
The baby has become separated from its mother and stranded on the shore.
He cries out for help. But the pod can do nothing.
He broils under the hot sun, hoping the returning tide comes...before a polar bear does.
A tide surge sweeps in and sweeps him out.
Lesson learned: stay close to mom.

The impact of emergencies and disasters on District government agencies and private-sector organizations is challenging to predict. Catastrophic crises may disrupt government and organizational functions and services and impact personnel and resources. Thus, Continuity of Operations (COOP) plans are vital for ensuring District government agencies and private-sector organizations, continue to provide essential functions to District residents and visitors during and after a wide range of emergencies.
The District of Columbia Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) provides the leadership in devising an all-hazard based emergency management program that assures that government agencies and private-sector organizations are engaged in a process to address continuity of operation planning. HSEMA provides references and technical assistance with the creation of agency and/or organization specific COOP plans. Also, HSEMA provides technical support in the form of training, exercise development, program implementation and evaluation.
Technical assistance provided by HSEMA is not limited to governmental agencies, but extends to private-sector organizations through Business Continuity Planning. Businesses provide vital services and resources; and they should be prepared for any type of emergency or disaster.
The COOP planning process complements tenets of the District Response Plan by assuring continuous provision of essential functions in the aftermath of any disaster impacting the Nation's Capital. COOP planning components are conducive for addressing any type of small or large scale emergency; and these elements conform to the National Incident Management System (NIMS).

Is Harry a Maine Coon or Maine Coon Mix? Every one I've ever known has just adored playing in the snow. My old cat Booger (RIP) would jump off a second floor balcony to get into the snow. He was a very happy kitty for the few years we lived in North Dakota.
When he would be outdoors and rain would start he wouldn't even notice except for flicking his ears. His coat was so thick that the undercoat really never got wet.
Dear Stephen,I know you are a rescue cat, and as such sometimes have bad dreams. I know that you need to be woken from these occassional nightmares or you are twitchy and depressed for hours. After last night I also know that I need better reflexes.Lashing out against the dream monster is not your normal response, but I admire your quick reflexes. Had it been a dream monster, you would certainly have killed it. Unfortunately you then realised it was mummy's hand and proceeded to cling on firmly, headbump it repeatedly and rub your nose over it. I am sorry I was not more enamoured of thse affections, but it was getting blood over your nose - my blood to be precise.Don't get a taste for it. On the other hand you have been very apologetic all day, and you're too cute to be angry with.Yours, The staff (who will be waking you at distance with a feather duster next time)
Dear Harley,I don't know how it happened, or why I didn't wake up during the episode, but I very much would appreciate you not horking hairballs and puke onto the quilt. I put my hand in it this morning, and it messed up my whole day.Love,The giver of chin and forehead scratches.

Welcome to our website discussing all things DIY. There seems to be many websites online that delve deep into the various aspects of trades and skills required when working on property, but none that give a broader view on the processes involved and an insight so that we can decide if it is a skill that we might like to try ourselves, or if we would rather hand over the cash and employ a professional.
From the outside, many of the jobs we encounter in home repair and maintenance can seem daunting, but when you look a little deeper there are many similarities and small skills that you may already have, and with just a little research on youtube or google you may find that you can do it yourself and save a little dough!
When all is said and done, if you find that it is something that you can't do, or if you are not completely satisfied with the result, you can always call in a pro anyway, and you will have learnt something along the way.
Most of the time a DIY project will save you money, obviously there are exceptions, but as long as you don't know down an supporting wall and have to rebuild the house chances are your home grown efforts will save you some change.
It is also extremely fulfilling to learn something new, and it brings an overwhelming sense of pride. You will also probably meet new people as you start to learn new skills and ask for advice, and who knows where it might lead. You could find that you have unearthed a hidden talent, and you can turn your new found skills into an income, one that you can enjoy and possibly do from home.
It could maybe even turn into a profitable and enjoyable sideline, which at the same time could give you some security if your full time work is in something of a downturn.
This new skill can also be a great interest in retirement, bringing you enjoyment, income and satisfaction along the way.
So here it is, a website for people interested in DIY, we will be covering topics along the way, and offering some insights into some of the home improvement jobs that you might want to try for yourself.

Uric acid test
Uric acid test
Uric acid urine test is performed to check for the amount of uric acid in urine. Urine is collected over a 24 hour period and is sent to the laboratory for testing. The most common reason for measuring uric acid levels is in the diagnosis or treatment of gout, because gout results from crystallization of uric acid crystals in joints. Some kidney stones are also composed of uric acid.

Candidiasis, sometimes called moniliasis or a yeast infection, is an infection caused by yeast on the skin and/or mucous membranes. Although yeast is normally a harmless inhabitant of the digestive system and vaginal area, it may cause an infection when the skin is damaged or when conditions are warm and humid, or when a child has a depressed immune system. Antibiotics can also cause yeast to grow, because the normal bacteria in tissues are killed, letting the yeast grow unhampered.
The symptoms of candidiasis vary depending on the location of the infection. The following are the most common symptoms of a yeast infection. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of candidiasis may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a medical history and physical examination of your child, your child's physician may scrape off a skin sample to confirm the diagnosis with a microscope or a culture.
Candidiasis is highly treatable with medicated ointments. Yeast infections in the vagina or anus can be treated with medicated suppositories. Thrush may be treated with a medicated mouthwash or lozenges that dissolve in the mouth. Severe infection or infections in an immunocompromised child may be treated with oral anti-yeast medications.

alden / anon: The truth is, I don't know what to do with this blog. I like the interaction and I like writing it, but the extent that I did it left me with no time to do anything else. Maybe I should just write once a week or something so I can do my other writing during the rest of my time.
But would London Preppy Weekly work? Or was the relentless, incessant posting part of the claustrophobic charm?
- 3 October 2008 at 21:06
Just the odd post would keep us happy preppy. And do think of some way to let us know when you are published again.
- 3 October 2008 at 21:07
- AlwaysReadySF said...
there's something so purely OCD about checking the blog daily and seeing that you are equally OCD and write daily, which clearly is a big attraction to a lot of people (or maybe only me, who gives a fuck...).
however, i do think that weekly posts would allow you to write something more meaningful and also focus your energies on the rest of your life.
- 3 October 2008 at 21:55

Thank god for that!
Always thought 'Don't cry for me Argentina' would be more your style though...

Once a week or so would work very well I think, although I was already starting to go through withdrawal this morning even though it had only been one day. I think a lot of us would be especially interested in hearing (periodically) about your experiences in Sydney. Of course, Vividblubbery will blast you for not really being dead.

- dickophile said...
if you could at least do one of those every week even if its a quick one like this i think i can be okay. i think i can make it. at least until i kidnap you, trap you in my basement, give you a laptop, and turn you into my little blogger slave. cause im sure if you were in my position thats what you would do. and yes i would be coming down to the basement for some "alone time" every once in awhile.
p.s. im just joking. dont live in fear. i wont kidnap you. im just not taking this breakup very well. i still dont understand it. was it something i did? was it something i said? have you found someone better?
- 3 October 2008 at 22:29
- London Preppy said...
oldy: Maybe I just won't check then. And let's make a deal that nobody tells me either
dick: Very very good
- 3 October 2008 at 22:31
You really ought to be getting paid for your talent and efforts, so I'm happy about your decision.
This guy (http://waiterrant.net/) turned his blog into a book, so there's no reason you couldn't do the same.
- 3 October 2008 at 22:43
- dickophile said...
you think thats good? go read my blog. my obsession gets worse. look what you've done to me!!!!!!!!
- 3 October 2008 at 22:55
"It's hard to shake the habit. What I certainly can't do again is write endlessly day after day. I think this is the kind of post that I will be doing from now on. When I think of something funny / interesting I want to share, I'll write it"
I got it in quotes. You can't back out now!!!

- JamesR said...
I for one, was happy to see the new post. One can't help but wonder what A Girl would have to say about all this?
- 3 October 2008 at 23:55
Me very much likey the idea of you posting at least once a week.
Or better still, consider this: Keep writing as usual, ok maybe with lower frequency, if you feel strongly about that. But if once in a while you feel that you shouldn't be spending too much time on writing the blog, take a (short) break.
I, and I guess many others, really like you, LP and the writing. So, please come back.
- 4 October 2008 at 00:46
i call shenanigans! what better way to increase the LP idolatry then to fake a death. baby jesus warned about fake idols though... so take care against raining frogs and locusts and shit.
- 4 October 2008 at 01:54
- paul said...
i'm thinking about forming an LPA (london preppy anonymous) group in SF. For other people who log on every day to read as part of our routine. Look... you said you were done and here we are like trained monkeys logging on to read something that isn't there.
There will be 12 steps. Actually only 4 steps repeated 3 times each in honor of OCD.
- 4 October 2008 at 03:02
Just when I was acclimated to the fact you were gone, you go and write another post. Sigh, what am I going to do without your daily insight....but alas, the weekly update shall suffice. Maybe since my reader status is still "trainee" I can take this time to read the older post and remember what it was like to wake up with a new LP post longing to be read....
- 4 October 2008 at 05:39
- Discotheque GQ said...
Wow. I don't read for a day, and LP is dead? I'm kinda glad I've only been following you recently or it would have been harder to let go. I can't even begin to imagine what some of your readers are going through! Maybe you can be the first blog turned into a movie years later...

jamesr: A Girl stood by my decision, like the good friend that she is
paul: Let me know when/where I can attend these sessions even though that might actually defeat the purpose
Also I had to not publish one comment, because I didn't want to start a slagging match here, but you were spot on [insert wink]
- 4 October 2008 at 08:54
don't tell me you're leaving without comment on 'Womanizer', I feel so cheated

What do we call you now? LP is clearly dead and the funeral will take place soon enough and no doubt there'll be pictures, but what do we call this new being, writing these occasional (and appreciated) posts?
- 4 October 2008 at 18:51
- AlwaysReadySF said...
Paul, I love the idea. Especially the "counting" part.
LP, if you are planning to attend, let us know, we will take you out for dinner.

graham: Hmm...George?
- 4 October 2008 at 20:53
I can't do it. It is so unfair.
I shed my tears. I deleted the bookmark (ok, off two of three computers). I stopped peaking at my blackberry two minutes before going to bed just to get a fix. I checked into rehab. It is time to move on. And now. This.
It is like offering gin to a Victorian prostitute.
It is like sticking your foot under the bathroom divider when Larry Craig is in the next stall.
It is like - as j would say - offering cake to a fat kid.
It is irresistible!
Give me the gin. Put the foot under the divider. Damn it, I was a fat 12 year old and I want the fucking cake.
Give it to us London Preppy. Come on. You know you want to you obsessive compulsive, pill popping, manic depressive, espadrille wearing, Anglophile mousakka eating tease!

- London Preppy said...
Ha ha! I'm sorry. But please understand yankee. I'm feeling the same way on the other side. I try to get on with my so called life, but all I can think about on an hourly basis, is "this would make a good London Preppy story".
I keep making notes on my phone about things I need to write about and I pause people to get their quotes right. Notes and quotes that I won't use.
I'm addicted. And I need to kick it.
Meanwhile, I'd be happy to give up all my other activities (including writing aspirations, any career delusions, general "living") if somebody's willing to find me full time to write London Preppy.
For £50,000 I'll write every day for a year, for £200,000 I'll move into your house and write from your living room, for £500,000 I'll buy a house, you can also move in and I'll write from the living room, for £1,000,000 you can completely take me over, kill me and move my dead fingers over a keyboard to write, etc etc

I have enjoyed a number of your posts, and wish you the best of luck. Of course, I thought you were going to Australia on a convict ship or something. Should your writing efforts in fact appear in print, I hope you will alert your ardent fans. Really- Best of Luck to you!

Because 150 comments is such a nice number, I thought it'd be better to post here. I'm Chinese.
Anyway, if we all behave, can we at least have regular (not super frequent but not few and far apart?) posts, after you've had your time-out?

- 5 October 2008 at 11:05
So, what is the first thing I do this Sunday morning on the PC. Check London Preppy. Damn you LP. Damn you!
I understand this is a symbiotic relationship.
You are the shark, we are the remoras.
We are the bioluminescent bacteria to your anglerfish.
The Amazon fruit bats to your fig tree.
I am so not going to touch the inuendo in that one.
Any, I think someone wrote that LP dying was like the end of Sex and the City. So run with that analogy.
We don't get weekly episdoes, but we do get movies.
So you should be able to make the move from daily posts, to weekly posts and then a book.
It will help you and us off the adiction, until we end up the Egyptian Plovers to your crocodile - not officially a symbiotic relationship, but a nice one nonetheless.

LP, After a few days for the news to sink in I make my first leap into the world of blog commenting, apart from causing me to grapple with the concept of writing to someone who is in reality a complete stranger, part fictional character and from the other side of the world, living a life completely foreign to my own (maybe a little exaggeration there, boring bits likely just the same, all the rest – yes foreign) your supposedly final post has caused me to realise just now that my compulsive viewing of the LP writings is not a problem I suffer alone, therefore my need to write here today can be justified if only to myself and your other readers. I now find, with all the other comments, most of similar sentiment, I have the courage to admit my obsession and commit to writing a few rambling words.
Since coming across your blog not so long ago, I have found myself logging on each day for the sole purpose of reading the next entry and this has on numerous occasions caused me to ask if my internet activities of late are to the outside world considered acceptable? When next time a family member asks me what I have been up to for the last three months or so, can I tell them longing for the next LP entry? musing over what witty comments I might leave in response with the intention of charming LP? Committing my first act of internet stalking (innocent and not very successful) by checking out other readers comments, tracking back on old posts one by one, attempting to find locations where photos exist without the eyes blanked out with the signature red rectangles, even consideration of devoting a day to some google earth tracking, searching for anything that looks like a public swimming pool adjacent to office building and council flats (didn't follow through – sanity still intact), all due to a person I have never/never likely to meet, a person who wears rubber masks and then posts videos of himself doing the same, a person who despite numerous posts regarding his wardrobe often seems to be lacking a shirt, a person who has a liking for prescription pills second only to my dearly departed grandmother, is this something I can tell them if I am to maintain any dignity at the next family gathering? But I guess in a few weeks time I will no longer have the option to be facing this dilemma, the LP posts and reader comments will have by then ended and I will have to tell them instead that I have found something new, something which fools me into believing I have a life and there is no void needing to be filled. I could find myself a new blog to read religiously, maybe one of the blogs that it now appears you anointed as your successors in one of your very last posts? Do I simply start at the beginning and read all of your entries from beginning to end ignoring the dates and pretending that each post is brand new? The option I am currently leaning towards is scouring all the old posts for the books you have mentioned and or read and after what has been a shamefully long while, force myself to read an actual printed on paper book? At least if I run with the last option, by the time I have completed this task, you will no doubt have that publishing deal and I can recommence the daily read! (the thought of this justifies the exclamation mark, it does, really).
And if all of that doesn't suffice, I can always attempt interacting with real people again, mmmm, think I'll still go with the book option.
All the best,

wow..halfway through the London Preppy funeral the assembled blog addicts hear a knocking from inside the coffin..
Nobody knows if it was the death rattle or someone trying to come out.
It must be hard to stop writing, given how regularly you posted.
I would give the idea of a weekly post some serious thought. It would keep the punters happy and your name in the blogosphere, which isn't such a bad idea if you have ambitions of writing a book.
You don't want the cover to say 'Written by London Preppy who had a really popular blog about 3 years ago.'
But however you play it - your regular blogs will be missed.
- 5 October 2008 at 20:16

It's not quite the same but confessions of a muscler will need to be my new number 1 blog
thanx for being a good morning read and maybe we will meet 1 day

hey - alwaysreadysf -
I'm not sure how to have you drop me a note without getting tons of spam. The first meeting is at Philz coffee. LP - can you facilitate?
LP - you are doing an amazing (best in any blog ever) job of posting & reading comments...

Is this like when David Bowie killed off Ziggy Stardust?
Will London Preppy be reborn as Aladdin Sane?
Or possibly The Thin White Duke?
(I'm not sure how much of a Bowiephile you are, but of course you know 'Dogmanstar' by Suede is basically 'Ziggy Stardust' meets 'Diamond Dogs'?)

HA! YOU need pictures from US?
What has the world come to?
If exclamations mark were allowed, this is where 2 or 3 of them would be very appropriate.
- 6 October 2008 at 19:50
It's is not him, methinks. In fact looks very little like him. Great bod though.
- 6 October 2008 at 21:59
bobby cox - what was on that link? The image had been removed. Sure got LP excited whatever it was.
So there is really an LP support group in San Fran. Wow. Is everything going to have a chest like always ready, cause I just might get on a plane headed to Cali what with all these reedy British boys in London.

- Connecticut Yankee said...
LP - can you add an archive section to the site, so if we want to go back and start from the beginning we don't have to click 'older posts' like 800 times.
- 6 October 2008 at 22:11
- London Preppy said...
Done done
- 6 October 2008 at 22:24
um, not to be a bitch, but can you order the 2007 posts, so we can go right back...otherwise we still have to click older posts 400 times (or whatever 223 divided by the number of pages is). Sorry. thanks.
- 6 October 2008 at 22:45
- London Preppy said...
Hope it works now?
- 6 October 2008 at 23:01
nope. all the back ordering is now gone. Oh well.
- 6 October 2008 at 23:18
How dare you leave us like this, now my routine is all jacked up and I have to find something else to fill the void that you have left in my schedule.
I still love you so its okay...don't stay away for too long once a week would satisfy my love of LP
- 7 October 2008 at 00:37
How does it feel to have all these people asking and begging you not to go?
What else can we do or say to get two weekly updates?
Can we expect the james-bond-style pic once you get to Sidney?
Do you like mint ice cream?
All for now, thanks, bye.
- 7 October 2008 at 03:48
haha LP there was a guy at my gym today with a Superman cut shirt. I was very distracted.

Depending on the number of responses I will be glad to host the LP Anonymous meeting at Philz Coffee. A couple of conditions -
- there must be an even number of participants (odd numbers are not acceptable - i will explain later)
- no participant can have over 5 hours of sleep the night before. Extra credit for artificially induced sleep
- I am willing to share responsibility w/ AlwaysReadySF on determining the authenticity of participant
- red bars will be placed on a photo of the group and sent to LP as a show of support
- music will be place... i'm sure you can guess the playlists
- since my bf has only picture tattoos and no word tattoos he will not be invited
- donations will be taken to send LP a gift...showing our appreciation for all the blogging entertainment. Seriously folk, we give to public radio, we give to Obama and we give to the local bars; why not give to LP
- LP, we will ask for words in return, shared first with the SFLPA (San Francisco London Preppy Anonymous)... and then you can give it to others after a 3 day head start. We want to feel special
That's all. I've annoyed myself with this long comment...
- 7 October 2008 at 05:14
- London Preppy said...
anon: I feel very grateful for the comments. Also I feel like I would write something similar if a blog that I read and liked too much suddenly disappeared.
Which James Bond style pic?
Not really for mint ice cream, now chocolate ice cream with some mint as well sure
paul: This all sounds perfect, I couldn't have planned it better myself and I really hope this goes ahead from the bottom of my empty heart

I think Anonymous is talking about when Daniel Craig (as Bond) came walking out of the ocean in a rather skimpy suit looking quite fit.
But vanilla is your fav right, perhaps with some chocolate saunce?
Perhaps an LP memorial can be arranged in the D.C. area (DC Cist?).

I constantly check my blog list to see if you've made a weekly update or something :( I miss LP so much!
So LP, when did you start the blog? Because in your archives, it only goes back to March 2007? Because I want to spend my lonely hours alone at home reading all your blog posts and I want to start from the very beginning!
