It was a dreary, overcast day and it matched Logan's mood perfectly. He'd had to drag himself out of bed this morning and force himself to face the day at work. He had been relieved when his sister had called, inviting him to lunch. She was in town shopping and decided she wanted to share her lunch with her little brother. Logan was happy for the distraction. They sat in Franco's café, at a table by the window. Logan stared out of the window as the grey sky threatened rain. Honor sat across from him, seemingly oblivious to his mood and the drama in his life. He wasn't really interested in sharing it, so he remained quiet as she babbled on about Josh.
"So I explained to Josh, that if he wanted to remain married to me, he'd better keep the romance alive. Just 'cause we're married now, doesn't mean he can stop buying me gifts like he used to when we first got together, you know?" Honor lifted her latte to her mouth for a sip whilst peering over at her brother's troubled face. She knew he had been completely oblivious to anything she had just said, but she also knew her brother. When something was bothering him, it was best to keep talking at him until he got so fed up listening to her that he would be begging to tell her his problems.
"Uh huh," Logan acknowledged her presence distractedly but remained staring out the window as if fascinated by the passers-by. Honor sighed impatiently. It would seem that her methods were not working and she really wanted to know what was going on with her little brother.
"Logan?" she sat her mug back on the table and leaned forward, her eyes fixed on him. "What's going on in that head of yours?"
"What?" he dragged his gaze away from the window and sipped his coffee, which was now nearly cold.
"Where have you been for the last thirty minutes? 'Cause you haven't been here."
Logan sighed and sat back in his chair. He felt guilty for ignoring his sister. He just couldn't get his mind off of a certain someone. "Sorry."
"Don't be sorry. Just talk to me," Honor reached for his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. "Does it have something to do with Rory?"
Logan narrowed his eyes at his sister. He really didn't want to have this conversation again. He was tired of the whole thing.
"Okay, stupid question. Of course it has something to do with Rory. I knew there was something up with you two when you left Hartford."
"Honor…" he let out a deep sigh as he ran his hand over his face. Honor squeezed his hand again and stared at him with concern in her eyes, gesturing for him to open up to her.
With a deep breath, Logan blurted out everything that had happened. He told his sister all about Rory's sordid affair, except he left out the details of who she had been seeing. Even when angry with Rory, his first instinct was always to protect her.
"Wow!" Honor sat back once he finished spilling his guts, anger bubbling. "What a bitch! Where do Finn and Francie get off making you feel like the bad guy? I think if anyone should be made to feel like crap it should be Rory."
"Thank you!" Logan said loudly, grateful that finally someone was on his side. He failed to mention that the main reason Finn and Francie had been so hard on him was mainly because of how he'd spoken to Rory. Calling her a whore was not exactly something he was proud of, but in the heat of the moment, he'd lost it.
"I can't believe Rory would have an affair with a married guy. I mean, she always seemed so…" Honor paused searching for the right word. "…wholesome."
"People aren't always what they seem."
"You can say that again," Honor gestured towards the waitress for another coffee, before turning her full gaze on her brother. "So you think she's been leading you on this entire time?"
"I don't know," he shrugged. His head was all over the place. He'd been trying to figure it all out, but it was too much.
"She can't be that good of an actor. I saw firsthand how she looks at you. That's not something you can fake, Logan." Honor was calming down now. Reason was starting to take control and as much as she wanted to protect her brother, she knew in her gut that there was more to this story.
"Maybe you should talk to her-" Logan pushed out his chair, ready to bolt. He really didn't want to hear someone else tell him what to do. Honor grabbed his arm and held firmly. She met his stare and tugged on his sleeve, indicating for him to sit back down. "Let things cool down and hear what she has to say. I mean, aren't you curious?"
Logan sat back down, his hands gripping the edge of the table, as he tried to calm down his own breathing.
"I'm not saying you have to do it now. Give it a few weeks. If you still want her in your life…do you?"
Logan was silent for a few moments as he contemplated her question. Did he still want her in his life? Would it be so easy to just forgive and forget? Could he really walk away from the one person he'd given his heart to?
He shrugged his shoulders and slumped back in his chair. A deep sigh of resignation escaping his mouth.
"I don't know."
A week had passed since Rory and Caitlin's confrontation. A week in which Rory had spent sleeping on Francie's couch. As she lay there in silent contemplation, she couldn't believe how much her life had unravelled in such a short amount of time. In that time she'd barely slept, barely eaten and barely even stepped foot outside Francie's apartment. She couldn't find the strength to face the big, bad world. Not when there was a chance she could run into Logan.
She still had nightmares about the look on his face the last time she'd seen him. The sheer hatred and disgust in his eyes had replayed over and over in her head, making her feel sick and shame for her actions.
Every time she thought of him, there was a big aching hole in her chest. She missed him enormously and would give anything to just hear his voice or see him smile, even if it were just for a moment. She hated herself for having caused him pain. She hated herself even more for the fact that if he found out the whole extent of her lies, it would tear him apart. Rory had somehow managed to get herself into an impossible situation and she had no idea how to make it better. Even if Logan somehow found it in his heart to forgive her for the Daniel thing, she would be constantly on edge that he would find out about her part in Caitlin's scheme. Unless she came clean herself.
She was in a lose - lose situation.
"We should go out tonight?" Francie called through from the kitchen, as she finished making their morning coffees. Rory didn't answer. Instead she just pulled the blanket over her head. She had no desire to go anywhere.
"It would be fun. Remember that? Fun?" Francie asked as she planted both their mugs on the table opposite Rory, and shoved her friend's feet out of the way to make space for her to sit.
"Francie!" Rory threw the blanket off and sat up; glaring at Francie as she gratefully received her steaming cup of coffee. If it hadn't been for coffee, she probably would have shrivelled away to nothing by now. And Francie.
"I'm just saying," She threw her hands up in protest, "you haven't stepped foot outside of these four walls in a week, you haven't told me what happened with Caitlin, you won't talk about you-know-who. I'm worried about you, Gilmore."
Rory immediately felt guilty for snapping at her friend. Francie was the only one she could turn to. She couldn't talk to her mother, she was too ashamed. Francie was the only one who didn't hate her. She'd been kind in letting her stay on her couch. She'd been understanding in not asking too many questions. And how did she repay her, by being ungrateful.
"I'm sorry," she whispered as she took a sip from her coffee cup. "I just…I don't think I can face out there right now." Rory gestured towards the window, indicating her fear of the big, bad world outside.
"It could be good for you. Maybe what you need right now is to take your mind off everything. You're going to go crazy sitting here all the time."
"I can't Francie," she felt a knot in her throat as her overemotional state frayed once again.
"Okay," Francie reached out and grabbed her friend's hand, sensing her mood. "What if we stayed in and had a few drinks? We could talk or watch movies, do each others nails. Make it a real girl's night in. We haven't done that in forever. It might make you feel a little better."
Rory considered her friends idea for a few moments. All she really wanted to do was be by herself, but she owed Francie big time. So she smiled softly and nodded.
"Great!" Francie was ecstatic at having finally managed to get her friend to agree to do something. She'd been like a zombie all week. And the longer it went on, she was growing more and more worried. She really needed to do something to help. It was just part of her nature. She always wanted to help the people she loved. And Rory was like the little sister she'd never had. She hated seeing her so depressed. So she resolved to do something about it. If only she could find someway to get Rory and Logan talking again…
Rory walked out of the bathroom in her pyjamas, while towel drying her hair. She'd finally given in and gotten off the couch and had a shower. She felt somewhat like a human being again. At least, she did on the outside. On the inside, was an entirely different matter altogether.
She made her way into the living area and plopped down on the couch where a pile of DVD's lay scattered. As she finished drying off her hair, she noticed the titles of the movies they would be watching tonight. She frowned as she read them off; Die Hard, Armageddon and Braveheart. None of them were what she had been expecting. On previous movie nights with Francie, she'd had to endure romcom's or musicals. Action movies were not her usual fare.
Her red-headed friend meandered into the living room, holding a bag of chips and a large pizza box. She was dressed in fluffy bunny pyjamas and had her fiery hair in pigtails. Rory couldn't help but smile at her friend. She sat down beside Rory and pulled a fresh blanket over them as she started the first movie.
"Chip?" she offered with an innocent smile in return. Rory couldn't resist and so helped herself to a handful and a slice of pizza.
After a few moments of watching Bruce Willis chase Ben Affleck around with a shotgun, Rory turned to Francie, unable to hold back any longer.
"What's with the action movies, Francie?" she asked as she finished her slice. Francie just shrugged, keeping her eyes on the screen.
"I love action movies," she said with feigned excitement. Rory rolled her eyes and reached forward for her coffee.
"No, you don't."
"Well, I didn't think you wanted to watch Kate and Leo fall in love again for the millionth time right now. I figured terrorists, end of the world and bloods and guts were more where your heads at."
Rory giggled at that, surprised at the sound. It was the first time she'd laughed in a long while and she couldn't help but love Francie a little bit more for her consideration. She leaned to the side and placed her head on Francie's shoulder, grateful that she had a friend like her in her life, even though she didn't deserve her.
"I love you, Francie." she whispered. Francie turned and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Love you too, Rory."
"I'm sorry. I just can't take him seriously as a terrorist. I keep thinking 'Oh there's Professor Snape'," Francie said as she threw a chip at the screen. They were halfway through Die Hard and becoming increasingly eager to watch Harry Potter. Rory snorted but continued watching the movie. Girl's night so far had been a raging success. She hadn't thought about Logan for at least half an hour and the way things had been in the last week that was as much as she could hope for.
"Bruce Willis should give Harry Potter a call. He'll save the day!"
"I don't think Harry Potter was even alive when this movie was made, Francie." Rory nudged the red-head with her elbow as Francie continued stuffing her face.
"So? Life would be so much simpler if we all had a magic wand." Francie smirked mischievously. "Although, I have to say, Finn's wand is pretty magical!"
"Francie!" Rory scolded her friend's dirty mind. "How did we get from talking about poor innocent Harry Potter to your boyfriend's abilities in the sack?"
"Oh don't be such a prude," Francie shook her off and continued grinning, thinking about how magical her boyfriend's wand was exactly.
"I'm not a prude. You're just disturbed." Rory threw a chip at her and got up from her place on the couch. Francie paused the movie as there was a knock at the door. "I'll go make some more coffee."
Rory headed towards the kitchen, while Francie answered the door in her fluffy bunny pyjamas.
Rory stood in the kitchen, dancing from foot to foot as she waited for the coffee. She nibbled on a biscuit with a smile on her face, thinking about how much she missed living the simple life. Her life had been way too complicated for way too long. She missed just hanging out with her friends with nothing hanging over her.
Finally the coffee was ready and she poured both herself and Francie some. She carefully carried both steaming mugs back through to the living room and almost dropped them to the floor when she discovered that their girls night in had been gate crashed. Sitting in her place on the couch, as if by magic, was Finn. On the chair across from him was Colin and on the chair beside the door, just inches from where she was standing; was Logan.
Her mouth fell open in shock at seeing him again. Her stomach flipped and then twisted as her heart thumped in her chest.
"Look who showed up," Francie said as she appeared in front of Rory taking the burning hot coffee cups from her hands. Rory pulled her gaze away from Logan and met Francie's concerned eyes. "Completely uninvited."
"Um…hi," she said nervously. Colin and Finn waved awkwardly. Logan didn't respond. His eyes were burning a hole through Finn, giving Rory the impression that he was perhaps as surprised to see her as she was to see him. Going by the angry look on his face, it wasn't a happy surprise.
"Hey, Gilmore. Nice Jammies!" Finn added, trying to cut through the cloud of tension that had come over the room with their arrival. Rory blushed, remembering what she was wearing and that Logan could see her in her very unattractive pig pyjamas. As she glanced back at him, he wasn't showing any interest in her pyjamas or her at all. She could be standing there completely naked and she was pretty sure he wouldn't turn his head.
"Thanks." Francie gave her a reassuring smile and tugged on her arm, pulling her back to the couch, where she slowly sat back down, although she was completely uncomfortable now. She sat with her back straight, her legs nervously shaking. She was far too aware of her surroundings. Her body was unable to relax in his presence. Francie squeezed her hand and she felt a little less anxious.
"So, I never really pegged you two as Die Hard fans," Colin declared trying to change the subject. It didn't really work. Rory was too nervous to even speak as Logan glowered from the other side of the room, while Francie and Finn were having some kind of non verbal argument in their minds.
They watched the rest of the movie, with Francie, Colin and Finn all making remarks. Logan and Rory stayed silent. Rory couldn't even concentrate on the movie. She had no idea what was going on. All she could focus on was the angry man at the other side of the room, and how many beers he'd had since they'd arrived. At last count it was four. All he seemed to be interested in was his bottle. She stole sneaky looks at him throughout the evening. His brow was furrowed. His eyes looked tired. She was worried about how much he'd been affected by what had happened. She wondered if he missed her at all or if he was just so angry, that he couldn't bear to look at her. She wished she could do something to take away some of his pain and stress.
When Die Hard ended, the talking recommenced amongst the others. Logan sat on the chair with his head lolled back and his eyes closed, as if it hurt too much to even look at her. Rory couldn't take her eyes off Logan. She wanted to reach out and touch his hand or brush her fingers through his hair. Just something to lighten his load. He looked like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders and she hated the fact that she was mostly to blame.
"Let's play 'I Never'," suggested Finn in his usual loud, obnoxious voice. Rory heard Francie groan but didn't take her eyes away from Logan. He didn't respond, just lowered his head and took a long pull from his beer bottle. His brown eyes flickered to hers and she immediately flinched and looked away. She could feel his eyes on her now and she fought her every instinct not to look back at him. She could feel the intensity of his stare burning through her as Finn tried to explain that 'I Never' was not just a game for high school kids.
"Okay, I never played 'I Never' before," started Francie, glaring at her overenthusiastic boyfriend. Finn and Colin both took a shot before Finn nudged Rory's arm. When she looked up at him, he was offering her a shot glass full of some kind of pink liquid. She hadn't even noticed when the alcohol had started flowing.
Accepting the shot, she glanced at Logan, who was still staring at her, and downed the shot. She couldn't remember what Francie had said but she drank it anyway, hopeful that it might settle her nerves.
"I can't believe I'm a grown woman, playing stupid teenage games," Francie muttered as Logan downed his shot, his eyes were still glued to Rory.
"My turn! My turn!" Finn shouted excitedly waving his hand in the air.
After a few more rounds, the game of 'I Never' had quickly become about which sexual position they'd never tried and Finn was getting drunker by the second. Logan hadn't spoken all evening and neither had Rory. She'd stolen tentative looks in his direction, and accepted shot after shot from Finn and was now feeling slightly buzzed, not that her level of alcohol intake had affected her nerves or her confidence. She still couldn't meet his gaze for more than five seconds.
"Okay, Logan it's your turn. There must be something you've never done," Francie said as she re-entered the living room carrying another tray of shots. She had long gotten over the immaturity of the game and was thoroughly enjoying discovering new facts about Finn's sexual preferences.
Rory froze as Francie mentioned his name and waited with bated breath to hear his voice. After a long moment, he finally answered. Her stomach dipped as the anticipation of his words soaked through her body.
Logan lifted his gaze and stared straight at Rory with so much loathing and revulsion in his eyes, it made her feel sick inside.
"I never…had an affair with someone who was married," he stated in a callous voice. His lips lifted in a slight smirk as he noticed Rory squirm in her seat. The atmosphere in the room dropped considerably as everyone waited for Rory's response.
A minute passed as Rory absorbed the full extent of what he was doing. She never thought he would confront her in such a passive aggressive way, but she was more than aware that she was worthy of whatever punishment he wanted to doll out.
Keeping her blue eyes on his, she lifted the shot glass to her lips and poured it down her throat. Silence filled the room, the tension was thick and Rory's heart thumped expediently in her chest as she awaited his next move.
His smirk still in place, he tilted his bottle towards her before taking a pull. Francie sat down beside Rory and gave her leg a reassuring squeeze.
"Um, Rory?" she heard Finn's voice speaking to her and she managed to tear her defeated gaze away from Logan. "It's your turn."
Rory looked from Finn to Francie and then briefly her eyes flittered over Logan, who had gone back to focusing on his beer bottle.
She was going to tell him that she didn't feel like playing. Deep down she felt like running away, but her heart wouldn't let her. There was one question she needed to know the answer to for sure. She needed to know once and for all, how he really felt. If there was still a chance that maybe one day Logan could forgive her or was all hope lost.
Taking a deep breath, her chest tightened and her mouth went dry as she willed the courage to speak.
"I've never been in love."
She stared at Logan as she said the words, desperate for some kind of sign that she hadn't completely ruined everything. There was a shot glass on the table across from Logan, Rory shook with the hope that he wouldn't drink it.
Please don't take the shot. Please don't take the shot.
Logan sat perfectly still for a few seconds, fuelling her hope that all was not lost between them. She noticed his gaze move from her to the shot glass and back again. He knew what she was asking. A myriad of emotions flitted through his mind as he considered his next move. Any thoughts of forgiveness and love towards her had been clouded over by the amount of alcohol he had consumed tonight. His anger had built up over the course of the evening to the point where he didn't know any other emotion. He couldn't decipher any other feeling in his body, except, his blind rage at what she'd done to him.
And so, with one last look at the woman he'd given his heart to, he lifted the shot glass and downed it in one, knowing that with that drink, her heart would be broken just as much as his was.
AN: The End…just kidding! I'm not dead! Woohoo! LOL. Sorry it's been six months since I updated this one and about ten years since I updated the rest of my stories. The truth is, I really haven't written anything for such a long time. The writing bug has disappeared and whenever I tried to write something it sucked. You might think that this update sucked but at least it's something. I've had this chapter and the next one half written for ages and I figured that seeing as Christmas is almost upon us, that I'd finish it and give everyone who still reads my stories and anyone who's new to my stories a little treat. I know it's not a happy, fluffy chapter, but sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before the good times come back.
I hope all is well with everyone and I wish you all a very merry Christmas. As for the next update, I'm not going to make a promise but I will definitely make more of an effort to get this story finished in the near future. And who knows, maybe even my other ones too. Thanks for reading and I'd love to hear what you have to say and what you think will happen with these two. Love ya!

By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
With fewer new series this fall, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and CW do some flip-flopping and shuffling on the schedules. USA TODAY assesses the networks' game plans.
RATE EXPECTATIONS: How do the shows stack up this fall?
INTERACTIVE TV CALENDAR: Map out your viewing strategy
ABC sticks with broad-based Dancing, adding the final 13 episodes of Boston Legal. CBS gives new comedy Worst Week its best launching pad. Fox's male-skewing action dramas will face NBC's series with similar appeal, with 24 back in January. NBC's big questions: Can Heroes regain momentum? And will companion Worst Enemyprove a friend to the network?
CBS hopes to shore up Tuesday with a relocated Trace and the new Mentalist, while NBC is status quo and ABC gambles on new Opportunity and last spring' s modestly rated Eli Stone. Fox will likely make some noise with Fringe, behind the solid House. And CW's 90210 remake could siphon young women to the struggling network. Everything changes in January with Idol, provided Fox doesn't pull the long-discussed Wednesday-Thursday switch.
CBS again tries to expand its comedy lineup to Wednesday, where Old Christine and new Gary Unmarried shouldn't have trouble besting last fall's Kid Nation. ABC relaunches last fall's trio of new dramas intact, hoping stability will earn them traction, while NBC rolls the dice on a Knight Rider remake (after last winter's movie) and low-rated midseason drama Lipstick Jungle. Look for modest returns from Fox's 'Til Death and new comedy Do Not Disturb.
Thursday stays mostly intact, with two wild cards: new 10 p.m. dramas Mars and Hour, helped by Grey's and CSI lead ins.Each is vying to dominate the slot being vacated by ER in February. Another question: Can Fox stunt series Hole dent lead off veteran Survivor?
The networks aren't giving up on this low-viewed night yet. Two new dramas, NBC's Crusoe and CBS' The Ex List, face off at 9. And CW is shifting Everybody Hates Chris and The Game, filling the void left by Smackdown. But there's plenty of low-risk reality: Aside from NBC's new America's Toughest Jobs, ABC will give new homes to the reliable Wife Swap and Supernanny, and Fox is transplanting last season's Thursday fixtures, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and Don't Forget the Lyrics.
NBC's NFL coverage snares men; ABC will get women with a stable reality/drama lineup. CBS' Cold Case and The Unit, moving from Tuesday, will likely struggle vs. the network's past performance. Fox's animation block will do fine with teens and young men. CW finally gave up the ghost, turning the night over to an outside entity.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
All Product Details
Raymond Smullyan: The Merry Prankster
Raymond Smullyan (1919- ), mathematician, logician, magician, creator of extraordinary puzzles, philosopher, pianist, and man of many parts. The first Dover book by Raymond Smullyan was First-Order Logic (1995). Recent years have brought a number of his magical books of logic and math puzzles: The Lady or the Tiger (2009); Satan, Cantor and Infinity (2009); an original, never-before-published collection, King Arthur in Search of His Dog and Other Curious Puzzles (2010); and Set Theory and the Continuum Problem (with Melvin Fitting, also reprinted by Dover in 2010). More will be coming in subsequent years.
In the Author's Own Words:
"Recently, someone asked me if I believed in astrology. He seemed somewhat puzzled when I explained that the reason I don't is that I'm a Gemini."
"Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements: they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled 'wrong.'" — Raymond Smullyan
Critical Acclaim for The Lady or the Tiger:
"Another scintillating collection of brilliant problems and paradoxes by the most entertaining logician and set theorist who ever lived." — Martin Gardner

Ovide Lamontagne's desire to repeal a 19th-century amendment to the state Constitution came under fire yesterday as Democrats continue to push education as a top issue in this year's gubernatorial race.
At a recent forum featuring Lamontagne and his Republican primary opponent, Kevin Smith, the Manchester attorney used a discussion about school vouchers to express his opposition to an 1877 state constitutional amendment "which specifically states that no taxpayer dollars can be used to support religiously affiliated schools."
"That was an anti-Catholic, Know Nothing amendment which we adopted," said Lamontagne, a graduate of the Catholic University of America who served as chairman of the state Board of Education in the 1990s. "I urge the people of New Hampshire . . . to repeal that amendment and then we can have a debate about to what extent we want to provide full school choice and vouchers to schools that are religiously affiliated."
Lamontagne's comment was captured on video and posted to YouTube by the New Hampshire Democratic Party. Yesterday, party Chairman Ray Buckley and state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, a Manchester Democrat, took aim at the Republicans' gubernatorial front runner.
"I'm not sure if Ovide Lamontagne is running for governor or auditioning for Hot Tub Time Machine Part 2, Buckley said. "But listening to what he says on the campaign trail, he wants us all to go way back in time on education."
"We believe in public education," D'Allesandro said. "He wants us to go back to that 19th century creation where public money went to these private institutions. I think that's a travesty."
This is the second time in two weeks that Democrats have highlighted education in the race for governor, arguing that a strong public education system is fundamental to economic recovery. Last week, they held a press conference condemning remarks by state GOP Chairman Wayne MacDonald that implied Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan was using education as a distracting "side issue" instead of focusing on jobs and the economy.
Lamontagne and Smith have both expressed support for a school voucher system passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature this year that creates a state business tax credit to fund scholarships for students to attend private schools. At the forum, Lamontagne said the scholarship fund is "exactly" the kind of education initiative the state should be pursuing.
"We need to get the bureaucracy out of education so we have really a system that was designed after World War I, and it needs more site-based management," Lamontagne said. "That's the direction we need to go in."
D'Allesandro called the voucher system a "tragedy." Buckley said the most recent Legislature and Republican positions over the years have shown "a lack of commitment to public education" that "is something that is very troubling to the general public."
"The people of New Hampshire like their schools, they support their school programs," Buckley said.
Buckley said Lamontagne's role as chairman of the state Board of Education "was a major issue in the 1996 gubernatorial race," in which Lamontagne lost by a wide margin to Democrat Jeanne Shaheen after beating former Republican congressman Bill Zeliff in the primary.
"I suspect that the people of New Hampshire will react just as negatively, just as poorly, to even his updated versions of his positions of public education," Buckley said.

Pylsyncd is a Python implementation, similar to lsyncd, that uses rsync to synchronize local directories with several remote machines running rsyncd. Pylsyncd recursively monitors a set of directories using pyinotify, a pure Python module used for monitoring filesystems changes that relies on inotify. The main advantage of pylsyncd against lsyncd is that it uses message queues in order to synchronize several destination servers in parallel, saving up time when it is required to have more than one destination. It has been tested in heavily loaded environments.
Pymur provides Python bindings to the C++ based Lemur Toolkit. The Lemur Toolkit is an open-source toolkit designed to facilitate research in language modeling and information retrieval. Lemur supports a wide range of industrial and research language applications such as ad-hoc retrieval, site-search, and text mining.
pyoui is a console Python program that lets you know which vendor has made an Ethernet/Bluetooth device. OUI stands for Organizationally Unique Identifier. In every electronic device that has a MAC address, the first (most weighted) 24 bits are the OUI, and they identify the vendor of that device. When you are sniffing network traffic, you may be interested in which network cards are active, or even if a MAC address is faked. This program is intended to help you with such things.
pyproctools is a set of various command line tools to get information from the /proc filesystem. It is based on the proctools utilities of Solaris. The commands include pwait, which waits for the specified processes to terminate; pstop, which stops each process (with SIGSTOP); pcont, which continues running a previously stopped process (with SIGCONT); pfd, which shows the open file descriptors for each pid; and pldd, which lists the dynamic libraries and other files mapped into each process.
pypty is a tty logger aimed at heavy script(1) users who like to (or would like to start to) log everything they do on important systems. It creates one (or two, if you ask for timing data) file(s) per day. The distribution also includes "script-replay", which is somewhat like the traditional scriptreplay - that is, it's for replaying tty logs - but it does not require timing data and lets you step forward and back in the log.
pyscmpd is a music player daemon designed for use on Raspberry Pis. It implements a subset of the MPD protocol, but instead of serving local MP3 files, it connects to SoundCloud.com and serves the streams found there. It supports a huge number of front-end clients through MPD, including ncmpcpp and Sonata. It allows you to configure which parts of SoundCloud are made available for browsing by defining categories and adding groups or users to them.

Meanwhile, Manoj Prabhakar and Ajay Sharma, two cricketers who have been banned for different periods by the Indian Cricket Board for their involvement in match-fixing, too are seeking legal opinion before they appeal against the verdict, the two players said. Sharma, whose international career had effectively ended years ago, has been banned for life. Prabhakar, who retired from cricket a few years ago, has been debarred for five years. The committee set up by BCCI is headed by board president A C Muthiah. Its other members are board vice-presidents Kamal Morarka and K Ram Prasad. Morarka, who has not been in favor of any harsh punishment for the players, did not attend the meeting - apparently in protest against its decision to penalise the players. When approached for his reaction, Prabhakar initially expressed his disgust at the decision, even though he has no ambitions left to play at the international level. "Appeal to whom - the BCCI or to the court?" he asked. "I will have to talk to my lawyer with regard to the appeal." A gutsy all-rounder in his playing days, Prabhakar said that the Board only wanted to ruin him. "They just wanted to put me down," he thundered. "I will consult my lawyer before making any moves. They have left no option for me." Prabhakar said he was also ready to meet the International Cricket Council's (ICC) investigators but in the presence of BCCI officials. "I (would) love to talk to them because I trust them," he said. "They have to be fair. After all, they are not honorary officials but salaried men of the ICC. But I will not talk to them without the BCCI officials," he said. Jadeja and Sharma could not be contacted, but Sharma's wife said that her husband would not take the punishment lying down. "We will surely do something," said Sanjana Sharma. "We will talk to our lawyer and see what can be done," she said. Sanjana said that all the players named in the CBI report should have been handed similar verdicts. "Everyone should have been punished (equally)," she said. India Abroad News Service

"I take care of him," Parker tells Charlie Rose in an interview to air Wednesday night on CBS' 60 Minutes II. Excerpts were released in advance.
"I pack for him, I shop for him, I get his groceries. He's taken care of. That's who Matthew is — people take care of him. It's practically involuntary."
Parker, who starred in HBO's Sex and the City, and Broderick, who starred with Nathan Lane in the hit Broadway show The Producers, were married in 1997. They have an 18-month-old son, James.
When asked what she would change about her husband, Parker replied:
"He walks too slowly. I walk really quickly. He never hails the cab — never. I've been doing it forever, so I guess he just thinks, 'Well, she does it so well.'"

Differences between Rights in Rem and Rights in Personam are as follows:
Rights in Rem
- A right in rem is available against the world at large. (Rem = world).
- Example: I have a house. The people of the world have a duty not to interfere with my possession. Nobody has right to disturb my possession and enjoyment.
- I have money in my pocket. I can use my money as like. The world at large has no right to interfere with my possession.
- It is called "real right". Converse this right; there is a duty upon every person of the world not to interfere with other's rights.
- This right protects interest against the world at large.
- Patent right, copy right, etc. are the best examples for the rights in rem.
- All rights in rem are negative.
- It is available against an open or indefinite class of persons.
- The freedoms given in article 19 of the Indian constitution with its restrictions are the rights in rem.
- All "general offers" are "rights in rem".
Rights in Personam
- A right in personam is available only against a particular person.
- Example: I let my house to Z-tenant. I have a right to receive rent from my tenant. This right to receive rent from my tenant. This right to receive rent is a right in personam. The rest of the world is not concerned with this right.
- y-debtor has to give me Rs. 5,000/-, who had taken from me as a hand-loan. I have the right in personam to receive back the sum of Rs. 5,000/- from X.
- It is also called as "personal right". Converse this right, there is a duty imposed upon determinate individuals.
- This right protects an interest solely against determinate individuals.
- Purchase of good-will of business is the best example for the right in personam.
- All rights in personam are positive.
- It is available only against a specific person or persons.
- All easements are the rights in personam.
- All "specific offers" are "rights in personam".

WASHINGTON (AP) New digital recordings of events in U.S. history and early radio shows are at risk of being lost much faster than older ones on tape and many are already gone, according to a study on sound released Wednesday.
Even recent history — such as recordings from 9/11 or the 2008 election — is at risk because digital sound files can be corrupted, and widely used CD-R discs last only three to five years before files start to fade, study co-author Sam Brylawski said.
"I think we're assuming that if it's on the Web it's going to be there forever," he said. "That's one of the biggest challenges."
The first comprehensive study of the preservation of sound recordings in the U.S. being released by the Library of Congress also found many historical recordings already have been lost or can't be accessed by the public. That includes most of radio's first decade from 1925 to 1935.
Shows by Duke Ellington and Bing Crosby, as well as the earliest sports broadcasts, are already gone. There was little financial incentive for such broadcasters as CBS to save early sound files, Brylawski said.
Digital files allow sounds to be easily recorded and transferred, but they must be constantly maintained and backed up by audio experts as technology changes, Brylawski said. That requires active preservation.
The study co-authored by Rob Bamberger was mandated by Congress in a 2000 preservation law.
Those old analog formats that remain are more physically stable and can survive about 150 years longer than contemporary digital recordings, the study warns. Still, the rapid change in technology to play back the recordings can make them obsolete.
Recordings saved by historical societies and family oral histories also are at risk, Brylawski said.
"Those audio cassettes are just time bombs," Brylawski said. "They're just not going to be playable."
A hodgepodge of 20th-century state anti-piracy laws also has kept most sound files out of the public domain before U.S. copyright law was extended to sound recordings in 1972. The study found only 14% of commercially released recordings are available from rights holders.
That limits preservation, Brylawski said. The study calls for changes in the law.

- The aegis or aigis, as stated in the Iliad, is carried by Athena and Zeus, but its nature is uncertain. It had been interpreted as an animal-skin or a shield, sometimes bearing the head of a Gorgon. There may be a connection with a deity named Aex or Aix, a daughter of Helios and a nurse of Zeus or alternatively a mistress of Zeus. The aegis of Athena is referred to in several places in the Iliad. It produced a sound as from a myriad roaring dragons and was borne by Athena in battle "... and among them went bright-eyed Athene, holding the precious aegis which is ageless and immortal: a hundred tassels of pure gold hang fluttering from it, tight-woven each of them, and each the worth of a hundred oxen.

If you are new to WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com, every Friday I run a post called "A Lap Of The Blogs" which provides links to articles I found interesting and think that others may want to read for themselves. I also include some commentary on what's going on in my personal life and a weekly "racing video" since my former life was in the auto-racing industry. The name "Lap of the Blogs" is in reference to "A Lap Of The Gods" which is an old video series which chronicled on-board footage of the world's greatest F1 drivers lapping various racetracks from around the world.
As many of you might already know, I've thrown my hat into the ring to try to become the next W Network Expert Host. The competition is in the first voting stage and you can click here to watch my submission and by all means feel free to vote and leave a comment if you want to help me out.
From Around The Blogosphere
Four Pillars (who seems to desparately want to see me in a dress?) makes an interesting point in that not selling can be the same as buying in a market like this. I would like to make the point that he loves Tina Fey.
Larry MacDonald forwards some good tips from Warren Mackenzie, President of Second Opinion Investor Services. Warren and I appeared together on the Linda Leatherdale show back in February of this year and he runs a great service for investors who work with advisors that allows them to get an independent opinion on the value one's advisor is bringing to the table in terms of planning and portfolio management.
Canadian Capitalist discusses his personal allocation to fixed income and why he's thinking of reducing it.
Many investors may be paralyzed by the recent market action, and Michael James on Money asks if you have the nerve to rebalance right now?
Thicken My Wallet discusses how you can potentially avoid self-inflicted investing wounds, which investors are particularly prone to during times of duress. Some really good points to consider here folks, please check it out! :)
Frugal Trader talks about giving yourself an allowance. Lots of examples in the comments section.
And finally, I would like to re-point your attention to the piece I wrote about How reacting in fear can damage portfolios. You'll note I used a 14.52% correction in the example which seems almost trivial compared to what's been happening, but the same thinking applies then and now.
This Week's Racing Video
This is one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time. Ricardo Patrese is an ex-Formula One driver and in this video he is driving his wife around a racetrack in a regular street car. You may want to turn your speakers DOWN because she starts yelling quite loudly about two-thirds through the video. I would liken Ricardo to an informed long-term investor and his wife to a nervous investor with a portfolio that has too much equity exposure for their liking… I believe she's speaking Italian, and it sounds like there could be some non-work friendly language in there… beware! :)
I'd just like to point out that I desparately want to see you in a dress…and a LOT of makeup. I cannot emphasize the word "LOT" enough. :)
Thanks for the link Preet! Hilarious video also.
Thanks for the link, and good luck with the W network.
Good luck with the W network. And thanks for the link!
Good luck with the contest! Thanks for the link.
Re the canadian capitalists personal allocation to fixed income. I don't agree with it.
IMHO, your FI allocation should be determined by your age. For example, a 35 year old should have 35% in fixed income.
@Joe – to each his own, so long as they have a rationale. CC is a pretty smart cat (okay, actually he's a human), and his rationale suits him (and many others) quite well. The heuristic of your age being your allocation to fixed income is blunt, but probably pretty good for many people. But I would say that more accurate would be to say that your FI allocation should be based on your risk tolerance. I've met some pretty aggressive octagenarians and some pretty nervous thirty-somethings.

Beginning slowly and also each day add a few even more pushups. You'll se the initial results in about 2 weeks. Be relentless! It'ses a good idea out. If you try all-natural creams specifically created for the bosom area, you could not see a significant distinction in cup size, but your busts will definitely grow more powerful, skin softer and more resilient to gravity. Products including vitamin A, C and also E are what you are seeking.

All Ireland Poetry Slam. Facebook. Dublin.
Thanks very much for all the birthday best wishes and gestures of virtual support for the AIPS on Facebook.
It was nine years ago today, six organisers brought first an all
island slam music to happen and play in the mouth of the sandbanks, at
the inaugural Ulster final in McHugh's boozer, Belfast.
A hastily arranged and supremely successful, minimal-fuss organisational effort, won for Connacht by Liverpool poet Brendan Murphy.
Who'd only begun writing and competing in the
live poetry Slam form months before, and so had a whirlwind journey from
the beginning to an early summit of the creative and emotionally
dizzying all-island champion-ness all seventy-two provincial and nine on our All Ireland winners' roster have
experienced over the decade of this now very well established seasonal Samhain fixture and annual series of competitive live poetry events.
One that has gifted context, cash, and a potentially lucrative All
Ireland live poetry title to many of our contemporary slam stalwarts, who began
getting invited to join in at the top-table of literary Ireland after
the post-economic Crash and shift in cultural mood from a whatever you
say say nothing poetic, and quiet school of ersatz certitude, where
every narrator of a pre-2008 Irish poem was a native Trinity speaker,
situated in a Tuscany villa stiltedly musing on arcane and abstruse
topics in a uniformly timorous literary tone of the minor personal
epiphany popular at that time of incredibly delusional ostentation and
excess - to a wider and more socially inclusive, less culturally crass, formal, mundane
or corporately manufactured bardic band of less quiet and more vocally insistent bravely
outspoken linguistically innovative working-class voices representing the come all ye and let it hang out wave and wing of autodidactic Ireland.
gained entry to the citadel of mythic literary Tuatha De Danann
dream-music on their own merit and distinction, but were unified and
drawing a primary context - during the early (2007-12) formative years -
from the slam form and poetic that established itself organisationally
as a fully democratic and successfully operating minimally costed
culturally ennobling fixture that has been a faithfully nurturing
supportive, and transparently fair vehicle free for all the
practitioners of this oral re-connection, with which many now
superlative poets have been blessed, served by and journeyed in to the upper floors
and delivered gift-wrapped and gratis, ennobled as our all island live bardic slam champions, to the doors, desks and reception nodes of
official Ireland poetry.
Now firmly elevated, emerged and fully embraced in
the arc of reality that began as an idea in the mind of one man, a
democrat republican from Dublin Palmerstown, Gerry MacNamara, founder of
the seminal penultimate pre-Facebook, Glór, Monday Echo and Circle
Sessions weekly underground Dublin poetry open-mic, Write and Recite
(2004-8), advertised solely by handbill flyer and word of mouth, and at
which there were no featured poet slots, and all those who put their
name on a first come first on list, got the same amount of minutes at
the mic.
The Slam birth in Belfast nine years ago today was
wholly against the then very exclusive insular ultra-conservative
self-serious cultural grain, and was reliant on little more than no
money whatsoever, and a brilliantly creative idea implemented to
perfection by the intellectual genius of the first final's lead
organiser, Belfast poet Mark Madden.
Who retired from this
voluntary role some years ago, and nominated as his replacement the very
able, and now very experienced Tyrone poet, Colin Dardis.
condescendingly considered by more snooty, subsidised latte-sipping
cluelessly simpering and timidly huddled non-speculative silently
disengaged posers on the official Ireland arts bodies' circuit at the
time as a debased and meaningless mongrel form of AIPS competition and
slanguage that contained no literary merit, a cashless oafic assembly of
professionally depressed nerdowells and outcasts; this lazy, visionless
phantasmagorical projection and deliberately mis-characterised
perspective was poetically swept swiftly aside by a 2008/9 Cleena wave knocking culturally off their perch and displacing a suddenly
irrelevant school of state-sponsored crony-poet lovers gorging
uninterrupted in quietude for decades at the official literary arts
unleashing to public prominence a wholly new and Rising tide of
linguistically innovative slam radicals, and lifting to their stations a
next generation of live poetry voices in what is now a well established
and ongoing social-media driven vehicle for re-connection with the oral
bardic culture.
Speaking in a style of metrically rendered folk voice presenting on
its own merit this hitherto unfashionable free-form of multi-various rhythm and oral poetry, in
a form of spoken song with which -- as an English outsider and mature
post-graduate fourth year student barely at bardic grade one (of seven)
and a focloc beginner arriving in the deepest depths of Ireland's most
recent collective cultural delusion at the height of the economic boom,
with nothing but a newly acquired Edge Hill BA in Writing Studies and Drama, and eagerly launching oneself into the live poetry Dublin scenes
in July 2004, experiencing the cultural and personal joyousness common
with returning English plazzies -- I created this competition eighteen
months after first arriving and marvelling with comedic un-containment
at the bonkersness of the poetry folk here.
At the very point I became the local live WaR poetry scene's loony-in-chief of boozy
cultural disruptiveness, in which this competition was conceived, in the
belly of drunken social shame and moral mortification, as a personally
created gift and apology to Gerry MacNamara, and vehicle with which I
was hoping to wheedle a way back into his open-mic poetry and weekly WaR
event, that one's alcoholic rendition of Come Out Ye Black and Tans had
got barred from the Duke pub in Dublin five weeks into what Gerry was
expecting to become a permanent weekly residency; eighteen months into
Write and Recite's four year verbal brawl round some of Dublin's most
iconic pre- and post-crash literary drinking establishments.
is the datum and base from which the idea of an all island slam was
created and could only rise above. And has continued to do so
successfully over the previous crazee decade of poetic triumph and
debacle, belief and despair, hope and faith in this one mad idea born in
the pit of a personal sorrow this annual public roller-coaster emerged
out from and resolved in a light of self-lit poetic positivity that is
now ten years on from its first incarnation.
A dream and idea turned into living reality and truth by this guardian bardic bore (Kevin Desmond), AIPS creator, and lore-steward custoding the Poetic Tradition of the All Ireland Poetry Slam's Senchus Mór.
In which a slam poem is primarily the spoken cultural object rendered
in any of the dizzying myriad yet unmistakably Irish spoken forms of Cuchulainary verbal magic taught from the Tuatha Dé Danann tongues of
such mighty oaks as all those that have wore and won the annual crown of
this eminently authentic live prestigious poetry process and
organisational lesson-maker with which many of our finest and
most successful younger live poets have created and found their own
spoken song.
And out from, within, and with which, as the late great Padraic Fallon translated the
otherworldly words of blind 18C Connacht slam-poet equivalent, and last
of the wandering bards, the autodidact Mayo poet, Anthony Raftery: 'one
can find the well by their wet footprints, and make one's soul!'
