Many, many Lostpedians are discovering and remarking on inconsistencies. And for good reason; any devoted supporter of any piece of fiction would and should expect consistent occurences and rules from season 1 to season 6.
No doubt Lost has fallen victim to inconsistent facts, although I would say this happens extremely rarely. What happens more often is either a failure to keep with audience expectation or a deliberate straying from audience expectation. As the story develops new elements, characters, settings, and mysteries, old ones are often underplayed or quickly wrapped up. This is might be called inconsistent writing; a plot introduced is expected to eventually be a plot concluded after going through standard intermittent stages.
This "inconsistent writing", to be honest, doesn't bother me, though I recognize that to many of my Dear Lostpedian Peers, it does. Now, I have a philosophy that any true realization, change of mind, or mental paradigm shift, as it were, arrives internally; the way you view and appreciate Lost is the result of an internal process of your own values, expectations, appreciations, etc. Therefore, to try to convince anyone of one disposition to appreciate Lost with my own by trying to inflict it on them through argument or reasoning isn't gonna work out. It will doubtlessly fuel some interesting debate, which I love, but I also very much want to see all you guys appreciating the show, without getting hung up on the "inconsistencies". This may appear arrogant or condescending, which I don't mean to be, but I think everyone here, including me, wants everyone else to appreciate Lost from their perspective. I do not want anyone do this, but merely understand my perspective, which, as I've said before, can't really be attained by external argument or reasoning.
So, I basically want to share with you the thought process that brought me out of my original expectations and conceptions of the show, thereby saving my immense involvement and complete dedication to the show.
- When confronted with what seems like inconsistent writing (whether it actually is or whether the writing merely interfered with your expectations in some way), one has three choices:
- Choice 1: Within the parameters of the show, address the issue in your own way: fill in the blanks left by the writers; imagine SOME conception of what might have happened to bring about this change in behavior or conflicting line of dialogue or unsolved mystery.
- Choice 2: Without actually inventing something, merely acknowledge that there IS a mystery; acknowledge the blanks; know that whatever happened happened, and acknowledge that wherever something seems inconsistent, something happened to make it that way. Acknowledge that, and move on.
- Choice 3: Attribute it to the writing; break the fourth wall. Allow that the writers had a change in conception and go along the ride with them. (This one is very unsatisfying to me personally)
- A few examples:
- Walt. As they were developing that character, I imagined that he would play a very "special" role; that his powers would play out in the plot somehow; that we would find out more details concerning what the Others did to him and indended to do to him; to realize his potential. Obiously, none of this happened. But that doesn't hang up my appreciation of Walt's place in the story, his following absence in the story, or his awesomeness and relevance to the show. Because I have coarse corrected my entire conception of Walt as a mythological figure in the story of Lost. Instead of someone who's significance would become huge, I re-imagined Walt as a more minor catalyst; influencing Michael's betrayal and eventual redemption. As for his powers, I attributed them to a more subtle place in the story. Rather than a plot tool, they became a cool story point; a strange, enigmatic power that, in Lost's tale, brushed by the more relevant and plot-purposed powers of the island. Now I find this very cool and it almost makes it better than having Walt be a major plot point for me, though certainly it won't be satisfactory to many others; so design your own conception of Walt, so long as it's not merely a failed plot point.
- The Others. The others filled two extremes during the show. First, they were savage yet jungle-wise people that were ruthless murderers and hostile in nature. Then, they were normal folks, trying to help out and living in houses with book clubs and football. My solution to this was that these guys were a small society, taken out of a much bigger one, and put in isolation, and given a lot of power and freedom. They're bound to get weird, and, yes, a little hostile. Hostile enough to hang Charlie from a tree and kill Scott in cold blood. Yet, as they came from a moderately civilized culture, they will naturally try to appropriate a facade of self-justification and normalcy. Basically, the Others were taken away from society and became a very different and weird culture, even if, on the surface, they maintain motifs and images of their old culture.
I think the writers of Lost have done a fantastic job of not only manifesting their vision, but also appropriating what the viewers want it to be. So to let the show lose its integrity for you on the basis of some diverted expectations and abandoned plot points will, in my opinion, get in the way of appreciating this. More and more the concept that Lost CAN be appreciated fully and wholly, as a solid and complete sci-fi drama, is failing, though I very much hope that this is the general and lasting opinion of Lost after it's finished. I'm not trying to impose my values of the show on anyone else; I'm merely offering a humble request that you attempt to develop your own values of the show while acknowledging that just because the writers didn't answer all the questions, solve all the mysteries, fill in all the blanks, that the show is riddled with holes and inconsistencies.

Schnebly Redland's Winery and Brewery: Get a Buzz On
Schnebly's figured out what to do with all those darned lychees.
All photos by Laine Doss
When you come to think about it, a Saturday afternoon in Miami consists of the same few choices. But how many times can you either meet your friends for lunch or worship the sun by beach or pool?
If you're looking for something a little different, might we suggest heading down south to Homestead for a little wine and beer tasting at Schnebly Redland's Winery and Brewery?
There are a few different tastings available. The original is
$7.95 and includes a tasting of your choice of five of the 12 different
tropical fruit wines made on premises. The wines vary in sweetness and
body, ranging from the dry AvoVino ($15.95/bottle), which resembles a
crisp Pinot Grigio to the Passionfruit ($17.95/bottle), which is dark
pink in color and tart with a rich finish.
You can also
choose the sparkling and dessert wine tasting for $9.95, which includes short pours of five different sparkling and dessert wines ranging from the
Grand Reserve ($29.95/bottle), a Prosecco-like sparkling fruit libation to
the Lychee Dolce ($37/bottle), which is a heavy dessert wine that really
picks up the lychee flavor (we're thinking of mixing this with vodka
for an extra potent lychee Martini).
Both of the above tastings
include a take-home souvenir wine or champagne glass. Bring the glass
back on future trips to the winery and enjoy a repeat tasting for $5.
Later, stroll outside to the giant chickee hut
which is in the process of being turned into a beer garden. It's there
that you can get a taste of the winery's new brews. The beers and ales
are also made with tropical fruits and for $4 you can get a two ounce
tasting of each one. For $6, you can enjoy a four-ounce pour of the beers,
but we went for the smaller version mainly because we'd already been
through ten different wines.
Brews range from a light lager
(carambola) to tart (mango) to a dark ale (passionfruit). We can't see
them being our go-to brew for tailgating, but they would go nicely
with a specialty dinner.
After the tastings are over, Schnebly's
sells wine by the bottle to take home, ship, or to "stay." At Schnebly's, you can enjoy some more wine in the surrounding gardens. At the
present time, beers are not available for take home by the bottle.
most Friday and Saturday evenings, Schnebly's offers either live music
or karaoke, starting at 6 p.m. with a $10 cover charge for adults, $6
for kids. Wines by the bottle, soft drinks, and snacks are available for
purchase and you're invited to bring your own fixings for a picnic.
The winery gets busy on weekends, but the large tasting area can accommodate dozens.

So what the hell does the birthday of Elvis Presley mean to you? Did you ever like listening to rockabilly music or do you know about Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee? Elvis introduced this musical style in 1954 with "That´s alright Mama" on the aforementioned label. But honestly speaking, I could never really relate to that american icon of splendid lifestyles and swiveling hips and I will never grow sideburns.
For me it´s merely historic but otherwise you should´t be too ignorant to those ghosts of the past, especially if you listened to that kind of music on your cassette recorder as a kid before purchasing your first AC/DC record. An anagram of Elvis can mean "lives" and that term might incorporate everything about his 70th Elvis birthday party at the Kreuzberger Festsaal, where formerly turkish weddings were held.
Some huge Limo in front of the building tried to upscale the place that is honestly speaking pretty basic in decor and soon it was all sold out. A projected video-collage by Safy Etiel introduced us to the topic, whereas his collaborator (from the Snipers Club) Heinrich Dubel was conducting verbally through the evening. Appropriately dressed up he presented a couple of so-called theorists as opening acts that tried to say something meaningful but it all went into hot air. Somebody should have told something conspirative as e.g. Elvis liked to introduce his later Shows with music from Kubricks "2001″ which is considered a prophecy concerning his date of death on 16.8.1977 (when you sum up the numbers they match with the concept). But maybe it was only his twin brother who died or you should check out the "Elvis Files" documentary, which deals with the legend that he was seen and heard after his official exitus.
Jiggling movie excerpts from the 1965 Elvis Film "Harum Scarum" could be seen on a drapery and even though I didn´t do drugs at that part of the evening, Elvis had four eyes when singing to some exotic beauty. Luckily the program went on to the rocking part, where plenty of Berlin based acts did sent out their Elvis birthday message. In most cases more selfreferential and maybe Angie Reed was the closest to being a dedicated Elvis fan when entering the fanclub with the age of 8. Numberous acts changed from main stage to the gallery and we had them all from Jeans Team to Gina D´Orio (honoured by dedicated fans later on).
Best acts included Sedlmeir, Khan and Schneider TM Experience (if I´m right) and the Boy from Brazil hailed Elvis with the Kenneth Anger movie "Scorpio Rising"; the first film containing popular Rock n´Roll Music in form of a semi-narrative experimental music-clip. My favorite blond fashion designer screamed "homosexual, homosexual" and another agent provocateur in the audience (by the name Mario Mentrup) tried to steal the show with merciless stage-diving and other annoying actions, but it was all good fun.
Final performance by white trashers The Nothings made up for some punkish Rock n´Roll (their best show to date); when I tried to jump up in front of the stage, it was so slippery you could hardly stay afoot because it resembled more some sort of beer-skating than a dancing effort. After the final chords it went to Dj-ing and I lost track of my alcoholic consumption, so I just danced on. Nothings' frontman Lobotomy, who is also recommended as one of the most dedicated underground Djs in Berlin, also agreed the next day that it was good Dj-ing. Alright, to cut a long story short: Mondo Elvis lives on!

Rays center fielder B.J. Upton is not in Tampa Bay's starting lineup again Wednesday against the Red Sox, but Rays manager Joe Maddon says it's because Upton has a sore right quadriceps.
According to the Associated Press, Upton didn't want to talk about the injury when he walked to the trainer's room before the game.
On Tuesday, Maddon said he didn't have Upton in the starting lineup, but added it was unrelated to the dugout confrontation Upton had with teammate Evan Longoria on Sunday over Upton's perceived lack of hustle after a ball in the outfield.
Upton had a pinch-hit, eighth-inning triple in the Rays' 8-5 loss Tuesday at Fenway Park.
"He's a wonderful young man," Maddon said Tuesday of Upton. "And that's the thing I don't want to get lost in all this. B.J. is really, really one of my favorite people. This is a good guy; I think sometimes it's interpreted the other way. There's not a malicious bone in his body.''
On Wednesday, Ben Zobrist was starting in center field for Upton for a second straight night.

FORT WORTH (AP) RadioShack said Monday its chairman and CEO Julian Day is leaving and announced disappointing fourth-quarter guidance that sent shares down.
RadioShack(RSH) has struggled with competition from online retailers like Amazon.com and bigger electronics players like Best Buy. It brought on former investment banker Day — known for pulling Kmart out of bankruptcy — as chairman and CEO in 2006 to help turn around results.
Since then the company has shifted its focus to smartphones and wireless plans and mobile phone kiosks with some success. But Monday it said "disappointing performance" from its T-Mobile business and a shift in sales toward lower margin handsets hurt results in the fourth quarter. Smartphones such as the iPhone, which RadioShack recently began carrying, have a lower margin than other products.
The company also had higher expenses as it invested in rolling out mobile kiosks in Target stores.
RadioShack said Day, 57, will retire as chairman, CEO and a director as of its annual shareholder meeting on May 16.
His duties as CEO and chairman will be split up. Jim Gooch, 43, the current chief financial officer, will become president and CEO. Gooch was named president effective immediately as part of the company's succession plan, and will assume the CEO post upon Day's retirement.
Daniel R. Feehan will become non-executive chairman of the board. He has been a director since 2003 and is currently president and CEO of Cash America International.
RadioShack, based in Fort Worth, said it expects fourth-quarter earnings of 50 cents to 54 cents per share, far below the 67 cents per share analysts are expecting and below the 60 cents per share RadioShack earned a year ago.
Fourth-quarter revenue is expected to rise 4% to $1.37 billion from last year, matching analyst expectations.
Revenue in stores open at least one year rose 1%. The measure is important because it excludes stores that open and close during the year.
RadioShack expects to report final results for the quarter during the week of Feb. 21.
RadioShack was the target of takeover speculation last year but nothing materialized. Instead, the company has bought back nearly $400 million in shares since August.

Just spent 5 nights in marrakesh and stayed at riad kniza. All the staff were very friendly, welcoming and couldnt do enough for us.
The service is excellent at this riad and we were cared for as relatives staying at a house rather than a guest staying at a hotel
Our room had all the facilities required, air con, comfy with a living area and a beautiful dome above the bed. Everything was tastefully decorated with traditional morrocan decor
Breakfast was served each morning at our request and was freshly prepared, served on the roof terrace. The freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious!
Before booking here, we struggled to decide on which riad to stay at as there are so many to choose from. The previous reviews were correct and we are so glad we stayed here!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This perfectly located 18th-century riad has been in the Bouskri family for almost 200 years and offers the complete package of traditional architecture, authentic furnishings, exquisite cuisine and, above all, overwhelmingly hospitable service. The owner, Mohamed Bouskri, having been a guide for the rich and famous for 34 years (Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, former US presidents and others) is a mine of information and is always glad to share his knowledge and passion of Marrakech. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Orbitz, Booking.com, Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline, TripOnline SA, Hotwire, Cancelon, getaroom.com and HotelQuickly so you can book your Riad Kniza reservations with confidence.

Jimmy was Stacey Pilgrim's boyfriend whom she brought to Club Rockit to see Sex Bob-omb play. He was later seduced by a drunken Wallace after Crash and the Boys played "Last Song Kills Audience", causing a furious Stacey to break up with him. He is not seen after Volume 1.
In vs. the WorldEditJimmy is played by Kjartan Hewitt. Just like in the book, he is seduced by Wallace at The Rockit, except he makes out with him after Scott defeats Matthew Patel, instead of after Crash and the Boys perform. When Stacey witnesses this, she yells, "WALLACE! Again?", implying that Wallace has done this kind of thing to her before (yet in the book, she screams "WALLACE! HOW DARE YOU!!"). Though Wallace being prone to stealing Stacey's boyfriends is canon in the book as well, since she tells Wallace "You're not stealing another guy from me!" in volume 1. Jimmy later appears as one of Wallace's many boyfriends.
In the GameEdit
Jimmy makes many appearances in different stages as a background character, and can even be seen making out with Wallace (much to the annoyance of Stacey) during the boss fight against Matthew Patel at the end of World 1.

Duggar Cult Survivor Wants You to Meet the Powerful Women Who Make Other Women's Lives a Living Hell
- Matt Wardenaar
The only emotions I feel when I hear this are rage and disbelief. My childhood religion was calvinist and pretty unpleasant, but compared to this story it was wonderful.
Unfortunately woman are not highly regarded in the bible.
I was fortunate to be born in Amsterdam, where religion plays a comperatively small roll and when I enrolled in secundary and higher education I was surrounded by atheists and found total relief in the idea that the tyrannical god I grew up with does not exist.

Venezuelan troops and antigovernment demonstrators clashed Friday in the streets of the capital, Caracas, leaving at least two people dead and several wounded as President Hugo Chávez convened a summit meeting of developing nations.
The confrontation, in which National Guard troops repeatedly fired tear gas at protesters and gunfire broke out, came two days before a government electoral board was to rule on the validity of signatures government opponents had collected to force a referendum on recalling Mr. Chávez from office.
Earlier this week, the Venezuelan electoral authorities said up to a third of the 3.4 million signatures submitted would require further revisions and be checked for fraud because of technical violations, leading to an outcry from the petition's organizers. A Western diplomat familiar with the electoral process said the National Electoral Council would announce Sunday a five-day ''repair period'' in which those who signed could verify their signatures.
Since a brief uprising in 2002 and a series of strikes failed to oust Mr. Chávez, the opposition has resorted to a binding recall referendum as allowed in the Constitution. The opposition needs 2.4 million signatures, but many political analysts warn that if the government succeeds in blocking a vote, Venezuela could become gripped in violence.
Opponents of Mr. Chávez say the government and the electoral board have increasingly put up obstacles to derail their referendum efforts. Though he was democratically elected, many Venezuelans accuse him of authoritarian rule and mismanaging the economy. The government accuses the opposition of provoking violence.Continue reading the main story
''Tensions are high, and it's an important moment for the country,'' the diplomat said in a telephone interview from Caracas.
The Bush administration, which has been increasingly critical of Mr. Chávez and supportive of the opposition, called on his government on Friday to respect the rights of the people. ''The Venezuelan government has, at times, agreed with those rights, but often we've seen activity that we think is not consistent with that,'' said Richard A. Boucher, the State Department spokesman.
The Organization of American States and the Atlanta-based Carter Center, mediators in Venezuela, are working with electoral officials to streamline the signature verification process and ensure that the repair period is technically feasible.
The Caracas fire chief, Rodolfo Bricero, said 2 people had been killed and 14 wounded by gunfire, and 10 more hurt by plastic bullets, Reuters reported.
The government halted live broadcasts of the unrest, replacing them with speeches from the summit meeting, which was attended by leaders from 19 Latin American, Asian and African nations.Continue reading the main story

A brief but violent storm blew through the Augusta and Aiken areas Thursday evening, causing downed power lines and widespread debris from fallen tree limbs.
About 4,300 Georgia Power customers lost power during the storm, with the majority of the outages in Richmond and Columbia counties, company spokeswoman Carol Boatwright said. At least 2,500 people lost power in Aiken, Saluda and Barnwell counties, according to Rhonda O'Banion, of South Carolina Electric and Gas.
Richmond County dispatchers reported no injuries but said work crews had to respond to several downed power lines and trees. One of those was at the intersection of Broad and 13th streets, where a large limb smashed into a couple's car as they sat at a traffic light. The couple were unharmed but traffic was limited to one lane for several hours.
Wind speeds reached about 49 mph at Daniel Field, according to Dan Miller, forecaster for the National Weather Service in Columbia.
Several downed trees in North Augusta blocked traffic at Columbus Avenue and Pershing Drive and Womrath Road at Norman Street, according to North Augusta dispatchers.

I'm not a huge Halloween fan, but I love seeing the kids all dressed up in costumes, porches decorated, and the glowing light from candles. When Ben was in first grade, they made Mason jar jack o'lanterns as their Halloween craft and to this day, his remains my favorite Halloween decoration. It still chaps him that the nose ripped as he was putting it on, but I find it endearing.
I decided to make some more this year to add to my collection. This project only requires six things: mason jars, tissue paper, mod podge, sponge brush, wire to form a handle for hanging (if desired), and tea lights candles (or battery powered ones, for fire safety).
I find it easiest to paint the mod podge on in sections from the neck of the jar to the base ...
... then add the strips of tissue paper. I cut the strips 6-6 1/2 inches long and about 1 inch wide. Because of the curvuture of the jar, you'll not be able to line each piece up right next to each other. Sometimes, to keep them appearing to be straight, you'll have to skip a bit of space, then layer another strip over that space. Don't worry about wrinkles too much either, but be careful of coating too heavily with mod podge because the tissue paper will rip. Note the ripped nose on Ben's jar. :)
When the entire jar is cover with paper strips, apply one more coat of mod podge to the whole thing and allow it to dry. I turned mine upside down to keep it from sticking to the table.
Cut the jack o'lantern faces from black tissue and stick onto the jar with mod podge, painting over the top again, too.
I thought I was being all fabulous with my jack o'lantern creativity until I decided to make some with Aly, my niece, nephew, and sister-in-law while we were in California last week.
I totally got schooled in the creativity department! Just look at this collection of jars!! I can't wait to see them with candles inside!
Halloween is in two days ... but I'd say you will have time to make up a couple of these for yourself! And the jars don't have to be "mason jars"! Use old pickle jars ... just be sure to take the labels off first. ;)
Happy Halloween!

Tehran (AFP) Feb 4, 2013
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday he is ready "to be the first man in space" under Iran's ambitious programme which aims to send a human being into orbit by 2020.
"Our youth are determined to send a man into space within the next four, five years, and I'm sure that will happen," he said during a ceremony in Tehran where two new Iranian-made satellites were unveiled, according to ISNA news agency.
"I'm ready to be the first Iranian to be sacrificed by the scientists of my country and go into space, even though I know there are a lot of candidates," Ahmadinejad quipped.
He added to the buoyant atmosphere, saying he was willing to "auction (himself) and donate" the money to the Iran's space programme, which has shrunk because of international economic sanctions over Tehran's controversial nuclear drive, ISNA reported.
The presidency website showed pictures of Ahmadinejad at the ceremony with what was purportedly Pishgam (pioneer), the monkey sent into orbit by Tehran last week.
The monkey's launch was presented by the Islamic republic as a first step towards sending a human into orbit by 2020.
Ahmadinejad unveiled on Monday two small satellites, named "Nahid" and "Zohreh" (Venus in Farsi and Arabic, respectively).
Nahid, an observation satellite equipped with solar panels, is intended to orbit at an altitude of between 250 and 370 kilometres (155 to 230 miles). Iran has put three other small satellites into the same orbit since 2009.
Zohreh is a geostationary communications satellite that will be placed at an altitude of 36,000 kilometres (22,370 miles), something Iran has never tried before.
No launch date was given.
Iran's space programme deeply unsettles Western nations, which fear it could be used to develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads they suspect are being developed in secret, despite denials from Tehran.
The technology used in space rockets can also be used in ballistic missiles. The UN Security Council has imposed an almost total embargo on the export of nuclear and space technology to Iran since 2007.
Tehran denies its space programme has any link with its alleged nuclear ambitions.

The disparity between six-year oil at $86 a barrel in the commodity market and large cap oil producers at a median $58 a barrel in the stock market points to opportunity, we believe, in recommended high quality producers like ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), Canadian Oil Sands Trust (OTCQX:COSWF), Total (NYSE:TOT), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), PetroChina (NYSE:PTR) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP).
Trading above the 40-week average of $83, oil for the next six years acts like it has to be part of global economic growth and that new supplies do not come cheaply. Oil does look cheap in oil stocks, which live in the shadow of governments who would like to load them down with more taxes. Ironically, higher taxes only drive up oil prices more, as we see it. Nonetheless, there can always be negative surprises in commodity prices or government actions.
We think the gap between 86 and 58 is more than wide enough to cushion moderate risk in committing to high quality producers. We measure the price of oil in the stock market by multiplying the median McDep Ratio of 0.77 by $75 a barrel, which is our long-term price assumption used in calculating the denominator of the McDep Ratio. There is a rich suite of attractive stocks at low McDep Ratios in our continuous analysis.

Colin Farrell and Janet Jackson 'spotted on a date'Posted on: November 26, 2009 17:02:32
If rumours are to be believed then it seems as though there could be a new Hollywood couple in town.
Colin Farrell and Janet Jackson were seen cosying up to each other on what looked suspiciously like a date last week.
The 33-year-old actor has recently become a dad so it seems unlikely that this was anything more than a meal between friends, but as anyone looking for love on a UK dating agency will know, enjoying some food can be a great way of getting to know someone.
Colin and Janet were spotted at a high-class establishment, according to Entertainment Tonight, which noted: "The two were seen last week sitting side by side in a booth at the renowned Polo Lounge located in the Beverly Hills Hotel."
Actor Colin is known for his roles in films such as In Bruges, Phone Booth, Minority Report and more recently, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Description: This is a concise guide to the practical clinical management of emergencies frequently encountered in a sports medicine setting. It provides a thorough, system-by-system overview of the most common issues.
Purpose: It is intended to be used as an accompaniment to clinical textbooks and courses for the practical management of various emergencies. The authors have done a good job of meeting this objective and have developed a fine, pocket-sized manual for immediate referral.
Audience: Clinical practitioners working in a sports medicine setting are the intended audience.
Features: The book uses an easy-to-read format to cover history, onset, signs and symptoms, management, pharmacology, pathophysiology, key learning points, and references for each condition. Well thought out and easy to read charts, figures, and flowcharts reinforce the material. The book primarily references rugby when specific sport references are warranted. A more diverse array of sports could be used as examples. The book also contains dated material on concussions.
Assessment: This is a well-written, comprehensive book for sports medicine practitioners that details a variety of emergency issues and their management. It appears to be a useful pocket reference that would come in handy on the sidelines.

Quirky can be fun. We have received a bunch of notifications about things that restaurants, pubs, stores and online portals are doing to celebrate Valentine's Day.
There were also some who wanted to be different and promote the 'special day of love' by throwing a singles-only bash, where you could walk in for a drink with your 'bro'. One that stood out was a staging of a version of Shakespeare's love saga, Romeo and Juliet.
A still from the play
Directed by Akriti Singh and presented by the theatre group, Storia Senza Storia, the plot will be based on the premise that the iconic couple survive their fate in Verona and meet every decade till they are 70. "We felt love needed some hope. Romeo and Juliet, the symbols of pure, innocent love, have been dying every time the play has been performed.
So, we decided to add a dash of Pop culture and infuse fresh romance into the tale. We ask: What if Romeo and Juliet didn't die?" shares Shah. The play includes live music and will be performed on a terrace that will be decked up for the occasion. A mushy Shakespearean twist for Mumbaikars, no?

|Beginner Question about re-routing to a different queue
|Tue, 09 Oct 2007 03:58:23 GMT
Hi, by accident I posted the following the ActiveMQ mailing list but wanted to ask the question on the Camel User list. Thanks in advance for any help. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Guther [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 4:49 PM To: email@example.com Subject: [Camel] Beginner Question about re-routing to a different queue Hi, I started to look into Apache Camel and I am actually pretty excited about the different implemented Enterprise Integration Patterns. I looked into the RouteBuilder and experimented with routing messages. I could get the Spring and the JMS File examples to work and now I have the idea to route incoming messages from one queue to another one. Somehow I thought I could do something like from("activemq:test.MyQueue").to("activemq:test.MyQueue2"); But that gives me a build error: [INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] null org/apache/commons/pool/ObjectPoolFactory It looks like I am missing some basics here but unfortunately I am not able to find a solution to this little exercise.

Here is my review of the book: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17
Here is the synopsis:
denies God. In his infinite wisdom, He's taken everyone she's ever loved. Moving to the French Quarter was a ploy to erase the guilt she felt for rebuking her faith. Perhaps, if she hadn't met Justin, an angel preoccupied with getting back into God's good graces, and drowning in his hatred for humanity, her plan would have worked.
Justin's general disdain for the human race makes him difficult to like, but some higher power has appointed him her keeper. Justin's convinced he can mend her broken relationship with her maker, but in the process he learns a thing or two about his own humanity.
Never mind falling in love, that's not supposed to happen. In fact, it may even be forbidden. Jess just wants Justin to understand her plight, and he wants to protect her from a world she doesn't know.
If neither are equipped to save the other, then whose soul will live and whose will perish?
#1 - It is an amazing book. It is original and has everything you could need in a great book! A different kind of romance, action, twists and turns, beautiful descriptions and writing, and a gorgeous cover. Plus, It's got smokin' hot angels. The emotions in this book are so very real. I found myself in tears for a good part of a book. And I fully believe that only a great author can cause a reader to experience that.
#2 - The characters are all well written, relateable, and loveable! I loved me some Justin! ;) The setting is so amazing that it feels like another main character. By the end of the book, I wanted to visit New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
#3 - While the book is spiritual and has a lot to do wit God, it is not overwhelming. (Like I stated in my review. The topic is handled exquisitely! This should definitely NOT stop someone from reading this book. The book is incredibly calming and made me feel incredibly thankful for all that I have.
#4 - Right now (for the next three hours) The Keepers is only $1.99 at barnes and noble, amazon, and astreapress.com
#5 - Once The Keepers reaches #1 on Amazon, Monique is going to giveaway one signed paperback copy!
Oh wait! There's a sixth reason to read it!!
# 6 - Because I said so. :)
What are you waiting for! Go get The Keepers!
Monique is an awesome author! You can check her out on facebook author page here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Moniqu

In adaptations of various works, there are many cases where certain aspects that were present in the original work have been left out of the adaptation for some reason (time, space, flow). The effects of these changes vary depending on the circumstances involved. Sometimes leaving some things out is unavoidable, unfortunately.
My question is this:
If there was an adaptation of Fairy Tail (such as a video game or book), and due to certain circumstances (such as a lack of time or space, or to improve flow), something (e.g. elements such as characters, techniques, story events, stages etc, other than the vital core elements, e.g. central protagonists, underlying themes) had to be left out, what would you not mind being sacrificed, if anything, and why?
Note: I'm not entirely sure how to put this...I get the feeling this might be a bit problematic, so could those be avoided or at least kept to a minimum, please?

Sometimes divorce is necessary. Just like mowing the lawn, washing the dishes, changing a dirty diaper…. You get the picture. But we do these things because, in the long run, they're good for us.
You know that with a seriously problematic marriage, divorce is the best option.
For the parents.
But what do we do about our kids? How do we help them? If divorce is good in the long run, what about the present? So many people have no idea what do to about their kids during a divorce. Frequently, they feel bad that divorce has to happen, but what can they do? Plain old adaptation to divorce in children is such a common belief that it's hard to imagine that there is anything that can be done to help our kids. According to many people like Jenn-Yun Tein, an author for the American Psychological Association, we only need to worry about helping our kids if they're "at-risk" – if we abuse them, if we don't care about them, etc. But if we treated our kids that way, when would the thought to try to help reduce the negative impacts of divorce on our children cross our minds?
It probably wouldn't.
Although adaptation is inevitable and obvious (because usually divorce is permanent, so we don't have much choice but to adapt), we can help our kids do it well.
That's right! We can help!
And it's based on just three things.
1. Environment prior to divorce.
We want our children do some of the things we do, like making our beds or sharing, right? Then why aren't we more conscious of how we behave the rest of our time around them? Even if our kids don't make their beds, they're still paying attention to how we live our lives. They notice every kind word, hug, and laugh, but they also notice every insult, sigh, and shout. We are the ones that affect who our children are, so we need to be more careful.
When our stress, frustration, anger, or impatience frequently shows, our kids see that and pick up on it. They adopt those feelings and behaviors as their own because that's all they're being taught.
Besides those things, when our children experience conflict between us and our spouse, the likeliness of adjustment issues after divorce increases. All types of conflicts affects how our children view us, and strongly affects the way they behave or think of us after a divorce.
How we can prevent our kiddos from being impacted by these things?
Just love them. And pay attention.
2. During the divorce.
The events leading up to a divorce can be awful. The events during a divorce are even worse. More strain and tension is created because divorce is such a huge change. The separation is hard, there are changes in our workload, and trying to balance family matters without your spouse is difficult. But that does not mean we have any excuse to stop behaving well in front of our children.
During the divorce is another critical time when children absorb every last drop of feelings and actions that we let them see. When we're upbeat, they're more likely to be happy. When we're upset, it's so possible for them to feel down in the dumps.
Divorce can result in loneliness, depression, relationship and trust issues, strain between parents and their children, academic failure, reduced self-esteem….. But the more we care for our children and the more we remind them that they're important and loved, the less likely it is for these things to happen.
If we constantly pay attention to how we react and act around our kids, it'll 1) become second nature, 2) help us become more loving, and 3) demonstrate important, uplifting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to our children.
3. Minimize the impact of divorce.
Okay, okay, you already knew that divorce wouldn't be any fun. And now you're aware that we can try to prevent all of those negative impacts of divorce on our children. So what do we do?
We provide emotional support. Enough to fill up all of your children, plus five more kids. This needs to be provided before the divorce, during it, and afterwards. Doing so helps the children become constantly aware of our love, affection, and attention. It also helps ensure to our kids that we are taking their thoughts and feelings into consideration instead of disregarding them.
So, the spouse (or ex-spouse). We divorced them for a reason. Except we still need to treat them respectfully and appropriately, especially in front of the kids. If we express our negative feelings about our (ex)spouse and the kids hear them, they may adopt those feelings, too! We don't want them hating their other parent – or us.
So be nice, gentle, comforting, conscious, affectionate, and attentive of what your favorite kids are observing.
You can help.
More from love

After retiring from AT&T, Karen Reed has dedicated herself to volunteering.
Ask Karen Reed where she is from and you'll get a quick answer: Utica, the city in upstate New York's Mohawk Valley, located between Syracuse and Albany.
Ask Reed where she has lived since Utica and — well, you'd better pull up a chair.
First Connecticut, then the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area, then Atlanta, followed by Orlando and Tampa, back to the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area, back to Atlanta, then Birmingham, and then finally Ocala.
Ask Reed where she has been the past two months and she'll tell you South Dakota, where she volunteered at an Indian Reservation Youth Camp.
Reed's 44-year career with AT&T may have turned her into a professional transient. No, she couldn't establish deep roots in one place.
Yet Reed, now 62, can say she has had a dramatic impact on some — despite moving around so much.
In fact, she probably has had more of an impact that most folks who have lived in one place their entire lives.
"When you are constantly moving around it can be hard to meet people and establish friendships," said Reed. "Volunteering is a great way to meet people."
Reed moved to Ocala in 2001 and retired from AT&T in 2010. Adults and children in Connecticut and all over the Southeast have benefited from Reed, a woman who has mentored, taught, assisted, cherished and cared for them unconditionally.
"She is an individual that loves to give," said Sandra Van Liew Jackson, who has worked with Reed at the Boys & Girls Club of Marion County since 2003. "She cares about anybody and everybody. She has invited (Boys & Girls Club kids and administrators) over to her home to eat, and she won't ask anyone to bring anything. If something is going on (at the club), she'll bring everything that is needed. It just brings tears to my eyes talking about it."
Over the last four decades Reed spread herself out, working not just with local Boys & Girls clubs but with several organizations: the United Way's Prosperity Campaign and Reading Pals Program, Junior Achievement, the Public Education Foundation, the Global Volunteer Network and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
"I have three children. I am kind of drawn to them," Reed said. "I think I am halfway decent with them. I did some domestic violence work in Atlanta and it affected me the wrong way. I had to do something that makes me feel good; kids make you feel good."
Reed was in her mid-20s when she first touched the life of a teenager. She mentored a girl named Sonya as part of a Big Brothers/Big Sisters campaign in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area in the late 1970s.
"Her mother was from Jamaica, her dad from China, and both were having a hard time adjusting to the community," Reed said. "Sonya needed some guidance in the American way, and she was developing a little too fast. She needed focus in school, have someone to talk to and stay focused on the right things."
Reed and Sonya forged a strong relationship partially because Reed could relate. Reed herself had gone through her own tough teenage years. She was a young mother and learned a lot during that time.
Sharing those experiences with Sonya was invaluable. Sonya had an easier time talking to Reed, a much younger female authoritative figure then her mom.
"She graduated high school, has a family; I talked with her about three years ago," Reed said.
Reed herself did not graduate from high school. Her father implored her to get a job when she was 16 and stick with it for an entire summer.
"It was with AT&T, a part-time directory assistance operator job," Reed said. "I kept my promise to my dad and made it through the summer. Who would have thought I would have stayed with one company for 44 years?"
Director of customer operations was Reed's title when AT&T brought her to Ocala in 2001. The telecommunication giant had a special charitable relationship with the United Way. Because of Reed's devotion during the last 10 years of her career and her post-AT&T life, the Prosperity Campaign of the United Way of Marion County has benefited greatly.
For the past three tax seasons Reed has worked for the United Way's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program as a one-on-one consultant, a site coordinator for VITA and a financial workshop teacher.
"Sitting with a person one-on-one helping them prepare their taxes is not an easy road to hull," said Marsha Holloway, a manager for the United Way's Prosperity Campaign. "Karen does it. She is that advocate for low-income, disadvantaged people in our community who need the tax help."
Having the financial knowledge to assist makes Reed an integral part of the Prosperity Campaign. Her dedication and relentlessness, though, is on another level.
"She is all over the place (during tax season)," Holloway said. "There are seven different (VITA program) locations in Marion County. Last year she logged more than 1,600 miles alone driving around for the VITA program."
Still, it continues to be working with kids that is the most rewarding volunteer work for Reed. She started sitting alongside kindergarteners last August as part of the United Way's Reading Pals program.
"A lot of these kids maybe never have a book," Reed said.
"We read a book to them; they read it with us if they can, and then they take the book home to build an in-home library."
A total of four children sat with Reed one-on-one learning to read. Her connection with Aalyaa, a kindergartner at Fessenden Elementary School, was a perfect example of Reed's effort and success with kids.
By January, some were able to read their book to Reed.
"That is the payoff," Reed said. "By the time the year ended all of them said, 'Let me read to you.' When they read to you, you see in their eye that something wonderful has happened to them. I can go for days after that; its like a high."
Reed will tell you that the Boys & Girls Club of Marion County holds a special place in her heart more then any other program she is affiliated with.
"We take care of our children," Reed said. "I am very impressed with the kids. We work with them and they learn leadership skills. The kids know that the people there love them."
It wasn't long after her arrival in Ocala that Reed was introduced to the club on Southwest 12th Avenue. Shortly after, Reed was named a club board member. Her impact was felt right away by Van Liew Jackson as well as Jerry Lane, whom Reed hired to be the club's director.
"Her leadership skills come natural," Lane said. "She has taken techniques from the corporate world and applied them to the nonprofit world, and that has been very helpful to us. She will go to training, national conferences to really learn what Boys & Girls Club is all about and go back to (the) board to tell what we need to do and how we need to do it better."
Holloway's mention of Reed being all over the place didn't include South Dakota. For anyone who knows Reed, they weren't surprised at all about her two-month volunteer stay. Reed went to South Dakota to assist the children at the Cheyenne River Youth Project. She also went to test herself.
"I had never done an overnight trip to volunteer; never been away from home volunteering," Reed said. "I wanted to see if it could handle it."
Being away wasn't the difficult part for Reed. She had a surprisingly comfortable bed in dorm-room like quarters.
"It was 12 hours a day of cooking, cleaning, painting, playing basketball with the kids," Reed said. "I had the stamina (to make it through each day), but when I laid down for bed I was out so fast."
Jet lag and two months of 12-hours-a-day physical activity might keep Reed at bay for a little bit. It wont be long, though, before her return to volunteer work.
"She just has the heart," Holloway said. "She is the most giving person I know. She is totally dedicated, asks for no recognition and is embarrassed when she gets any. She is a little dynamo. In the last 12 months when I have asked her to do something she didn't say no once."
