Here we are, in the last year of a decade, wrapped in gray and rather wet. Yes, you read it right — the last year of a decade.
Think about it: a decade is ten: 1-10, 11-20, etc. Thus, 2001-2010. I know, the move from a single to a double digit is misleading, but numbers of themselves don't lie. The lies come with how people use them; witness Washington: spend more in order to save.
Thinking of what is going on with our government only adds to the gloom, so let's change the subject. I have seen one forsythia blossom, one Star of Bethlehem bloom, one blooming blue hydrangea, lots of paper whites, and continuing blossoms on the sasanqua camellias — and a few new rosebuds, to boot. Lots of bulbs are beginning to show green. The birds and squirrels are eating us out of house and home, but they are fun to watch and comforting, going about their business in spite of the weather and the world.
For the last two months, I have been trying to keep a promise I made to several longtime readers who want me to write about correct English usage now and then, so herewith.
First, before I forget, this gem: Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
And a look back: In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were laid over ropes secured to the bed frames. They were made firmer by tightening the ropes, hence the saying, "Good night, sleep tight."
And a word origin: The leotard, beloved of ballet dancers, takes its name from 19th century French acrobat Jules Leotard, who wore the tight-fitting costume during his performances. This information comes from the editor of the Uptown Crossword Puzzle Club, to which I subscribe.
I began this column in 1999 as a chat about the correct use of the English language and gave it up five years later because it didn't seem to make a difference, except to some people who really didn't need any help in how they used English.
I began with homophones, those words which are spelled differently but have the same sound. One such is "bows/boughs." A news story mentioned how to prune the bows of trees. Yes, trees do bow in a strong wind, but they consist of a trunk and boughs. And don't get confused with a different pronunciation of the same four letters: ribbon bows which are put around presents.
Every time I see that ad for the Amish "mantles," I have a fit. "Mantles" are capes. Fireplaces have "mantels." Then there's "your" and "you're." One is possessive — your coat; one is a contraction — you are. The apostrophe means a letter (a) has been left out. Another possessive, our, is within your, so use this as a check to see if the right word is being written.
Then there's "hear" (note this word contains the word "ear"), meaning awareness of sounds. Its buddy, "here," denotes a location. This word helps define "there," also a location, when it is confused with "their," meaning people own something, and "they're," they are, again with the (a) left out.
With reference to apostrophes, they are NOT used with simple plurals: cards, toys, words, etc. They do denote possession: the boy's coat, the girl's book. If more than one person owns one thing or several, the apostrophe shows this: the boys' coats, the girls' books.
Moving on from homophones, we come to verb problems. Not all English verbs work the same way in their tenses. If I forbid you to do something today, I may have forbidden you before; I'm sure I forbade you to do it yesterday. And then it's not, "Honey I shrunk the kids"; correctly, I shrank the kids. I may have shrunk them every day this week! Equally, the ship sank in the hurricane yesterday; many ships have sunk in like conditions. Another ship may sink today if the storm continues. Same rule with "drink, drank, drunk" and "sing, sang, sung."
Oh, those English verbs! I sit, I sat, I have sat and I have been seated. The dog bites me today, he bit me yesterday and he has bitten me a lot this week. I can truly say I was bitten — NOT was bit.
And all these problems have come about because English is a polyglot language that has borrowed words from many other languages, willy nilly!
Gwin Paden has been in Lodi since 1957, and, among various careers, has been, obviously, an English teacher.

Shallow Graves
Author : Kali Wallace
Publisher : Katherine Tegen Books (January 26, 2016)
Genre : Science Fiction & Fantasy
For fans of Holly Black and Nova Ren Suma, a gripping, hauntingly atmospheric novel about murder, revenge, and a world where monsters—human and otherwise—lurk at the fringes.
When seventeen-year-old Breezy Lin wakes up in a shallow grave one year after her death, she doesn't remember who killed her or why. All she knows is that she's somehow conscious—and not only that, she's able to sense who around her is hiding a murderous past. In life, Breezy was always drawn to the elegance of the universe and the mystery of the stars. Now she must set out to find answers and discover what is to become of her in the gritty, dangerous world to which she now belongs—where killers hide in plain sight, and a sinister cult is hunting for strange creatures like her. What she finds is at once empowering, redemptive, and dangerous.
Tense, complex, and wholly engaging, Shallow Graves is a stunning first novel from Kali Wallace.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up—This title will initially grab readers with the mystery of Breezy's death and her new undead identity, but many will be left dissatisfied. Breezy Lin doesn't remember her death, but she does remember waking up in a shallow grave a year later, clawing her way to the surface, and killing with just one touch the man who woke her. Now she's wandering, testing the limits of what her body can handle (because she definitely can't die again) and taking out murderers, whom she can sense by the shadows surrounding them. But when she's directed to a church with a ministry for runaway youth, she realizes the secret of her past. Wallace experiments with narrative structure, unveiling Breezy's personality via flashbacks, memories, and her philosophical musings, but her treatment of the present is less compelling. Breezy is directionless until she finds herself running for her life, but even then she's not committed to anything in particular (learning more about her new nature, understanding the world she's discovered, avenging herself, hunting down murderers) for very long. Except for a stilted conversation in which Breezy asks a new companion which kinds of seemingly fictional creatures (ghosts, unicorns, vampires, and so on) are real, very little of the paranormal world is revealed. This peculiar lack of curiosity about the world Wallace has created spoils what might otherwise have been an intriguing paranormal mystery. VERDICT Too shallow a world and too aimless a protagonist.—Gretchen Kolderup, New York Public Library
"A fast-paced story with an interesting hook, and a thoughtful look at what it means to be human versus what it means to be a monster. The end result is a superbly crafted debut bound to entrance." (Booklist (starred review))
"Kali Wallace has created a world that's both natural and unsettling …and reminds us with Breezy's story that true terror is not a monster, but what lurks in the dark corners of human nature." (Madeleine Roux, New York Times bestselling author of the Asylum series.)
"Shallow Graves is a stunner. Gripping, gory, and insightful." (Kendare Blake, author of Anna Dressed in Blood and Antigoddess)
"Constantly entertaining, intriguing, and suspenseful." (Kirkus)
"A fast-paced ride through a dark, imaginative world." (Mindy McGinnis, author of Not a Drop to Drink and A Madness So Discreet)
"A phenomenally written, spine-chilling story…sure to keep you up all night." (Kimberly Derting, author of the Body Finder series)
"Writing in Breezy's pragmatic and engaging voice, Wallace weaves an unsettling tale that explores Breezy's strange existence, while also thoughtfully examining a life cut short…her struggle to reconcile what she has become with the human she used to be forms the heart of this bittersweet story."

How to Use grey water to grow rice paddy
A simple reed system can clean washing machine and bath water enough to grow rice. What better place to do than the roof which in tropical India receives a lot of sunlight. Nutrition for the rice comes from a Ecosan unit on the roof again, which provides the urine for fertilizer. Finally a solar box cooker cooks the rice for consumption. Food and water Cycle complete on the roof. The water for the washing machine and bath comes from harvested rain falling on the roof but a slightly different part. Learn how to use grey water to grow rice paddy by watching this video tutorial.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; SP1
Windows Easy Transfer
I'm getting ready to replace my son's hard drive (Dell computer) plus upgrade his OS from XP Pro to Windows 7 Home Premium. I've downloaded the XP version of Windows Easy Transfer and ran it backing up the files to an external drive but I'm wondering if something went wrong.
Looking at the backed up file (on the external drive) it doesn't look like what I've seen in tutorials which shows an icon named Windows Easy Transfer - Items from old computer.
The file I get is a file that doesn't know what program created it although the size seems right. I've ran Windows Easy Transfer twice with the same results.
Does this seem normal why wouldn't my file look like a normal file (knowing which program created it) with the icon and name as above?

Update: I tried this Modem on my wife's computer:
The OS struggled to detect/install the device, but managed to get it half working and FLSMS still worked!! We'll done for that, sucks for mac's though.
Any ideas, or should I just run this software on a windows machine?
Hi Daniel
Congratulations for getting this going. We're in the process of adding some text to the download screen notifying Mac and Linux users that there are often more technical steps required to get FrontlineSMS running. In short, yes - if you can run this on a Windows machine things will be simpler. Ironic, really, but it's all about how ports are blocked and how easy it is to identify and resolve it.
Any idea how to unblock the ports?
From "System Profiler" it detects my USB modem. Here's the info:
HUAWEI Mobile:
BSD Name: en3
Product ID: 0x14ac
Vendor ID: 0x12d1
Version: 0.00

Hi Loyce,
Good to know that you have used FrontlineSMS before in Uganda. Am trying to set it up on my laptop but having trouble on which modems to use, did you use Airtel internet modems or your phone with an Airtel simcard?
What has been your experience with the other network in uganda?
Hope to hear from you then get frontline running on my laptop.
Back in the US, I've been trying to get my Huawei E1550/E1750 modems which I unlocked while in Nairobi (Zain/Safari) in order to use them on my windows part of my MAC. I'm able to send out without a problem using my AT&T sim card, but not receive. From the other posts i've turned off all other software as well. Funny though the number that is popping up as the sender # is a long number (353558041429325). The same number while I was testing it at the ihub. Any advice?
I'm trying to get a few modems up and running for a humanitarian studies training course here in boston MA :)
Many thanks, Jennifer
Hi -
I've just tried installing a Huawei E1550 modem in the following configuration:
OS: Windows XP/SP3
FLSMS ver: 188.8.131.52
FLSMS is detecting the E1550 on two ports, shows a "Failed to connect" error on one, and hangs on "Detected" on the other.
The SIM card I used works with the Motorola PEBLU6 I've been using up till now. I'm wondering if the E1550 is looking for a SIM with data service activated (if that even makes sense). The SIM I'm currently using only has voice/SMS.
Or what else might be the problem?
Hey Georgia
Did you fully install the device manager software on the modem? It should try to auto-install.
I've been using the same modem successfully when the data service is disabled, so it shouldn't be that.
Hello Georgia:
As Alexis mentions it seems to happen with Huawei E Series I have an E173 and Frontline SMS detects it twice. It works ok for me so I just ignored it.
Take care
Laura and others -
Thanks for responding.
The device manager software is installed and just to be sure I've just uninstalled and reinstalled it again. I suspect the modem isn't recognising the SIM, as on launch the device manager software gives me the following error: "The SIM/USIM card has not been detected or is invalid".
The device is also visible in the device manager Device List, but nothing happens when I click on it.
Does sound like the SIM. Could it be locked?
One other thought - I've noticed FrontlineSMS can crash with some modems, like with my current E173, but always eventually gets there and gets through the detection/connection phase if you keep going - like after two-three times it manages it. Just a thought.

What a stupid question to ask - do I want to continue waiting or would I like you to close the question. Of course I wish to continue waiting as I have paid Euros 46.

Hello Patrick, When questions are not answered right away, sometimes customers find answers elsewhere and no longer wish to proceed. It happens regularly enough so that we ask the question so as not to waste your time, my time, and that of our lawyers.
We cannot predict when a question will get a reply from a professional. That depends upon a number of factors such as the nature, complexity and subject area of the question and the areas of professional expertise and time constraints of the lawyers online. We will search for a French law professional for you.

see the changelog in the files-section
if you problems with a broken apollon-dist-qt31.tar-bz2 please download the new one. The file was on the mirrors broken and had a bug in the install.sh
see our homepages which was improved and updated
contains mainly important bugfixes: i.e. the "download-finished-crash"-bug.
apollon-one-in-all is up to date, too.
good news for debian-users. Apollon is part of debian unstable now.
for regular questions and postings of the help-forum is this new mailinglist apollon-user. It will keep the devel-list cleaner.
0.9.2 is released.
all-in-one-installer is up-to-date, too.
use the cvs-version if you suffered from the "alarm clock" -bug.
For the first time, we can offer a tar-ball which contains all necessary plugins and the daemon and it comes with an install-script which takes care of everything.
Main changes: polinsh and dutch translation and that nasty search-delay bug is finally fixed!
main bugfix is Gnutella. It works now ;)
See the Changelog for more informations.
recently, we registered a channel on freenode:
Mostly, there should be somebody... ;)
for the first time with a mdk 9.1-rpm.
runs only with giFT 0.11.2
Since this is nowhere described:
you need to download the plugins OpenFT and Gnutella seperately:
cvs -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/gift login
cvs -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/gift co OpenFT
cvs -d:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/gift co Gnutella
don't copy these directories under the giFT-directory! It won't work!!
please update your giFT! The daemon is not anymore giFT, it is now giftd. And the config-file is not anymore gift.conf it is now giftd.conf.
Please update your giFT. In the very near future, apollon doesn't run with giFT anymore, only with giftd.
update your cvs-apollon. I ask especially the Mandrake-user whether that bug with the undeclared PACKAGE is finally fixed or not.
we just fixed the FastTrack-searching-bug. It was with the new giFT and giFT-FastTrack not possible to search the FastTrack-network anymore.
If you experience error messages like "alarm clock" or "Der Wecker klingelt", please let us know!
Just imported the sources to the cvs!

Arizona Diamondbacks' Front Office Unhappy; Team Changes Could Be in Works
The Diamondbacks don't have a game today, meaning their current 10-game losing streak can't get any worse until tomorrow's contest at home against the Colorado Rockies.
That doesn't mean there aren't issues to deal meantime.
After recent comments from General Manager Josh Byrnes and Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick, nearly everyone in the Snakes organization should be sweating bullets about their job for the next few months.
Byrnes and Kendrick, obviously displeased and disappointed that the season is seemingly over before summer has officially begun, tell the Arizona Republic that changes are coming to one of the worst teams in baseball.
Upcoming Events
Phoenix Rising Football Club vs. Seattle Sounders 2

Phoenix Rising Football Club

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres

The National League Championship Series run of 2007 seems decades ago, doesn't it? Kendrick, however, says every department will be examined in an effort to turn the franchise around.
As of today, the D-Backs' winning percentage is .370, their record is 20-34 -- the second-worst in the National League behind the lowly Houston Astros -- and every other team in the D-Backs' division has a winning record.
It's all doom and gloom for Arizona right now, and nobody's job appears to be safe -- nor should it.
Everyone from Byrnes (who is under contract until 2015) to manager A.J. Hinch to slugger Mark Reynolds haven't done what's necessary.
Reynolds and center fielder Justin Upton do lead the majors in one statistical hitting category, but it's probably the ugliest of all the batting (ahem) honors: Strikeouts.
Both are tied at 72 and seem to be having a contest of who can look worse while flailing away at balls in the dirt or not having a quick enough bat to catch up to a fastball.
Not to be outdone, first baseman Adam LaRoche has 50 Ks and is on pace for a career high in the category.
To put it mildly, changes need to happen now. While this season may be a lost cause, the fans need to see some hope for the future, or they won't show up -- not that many of them are attending games now anyway.
The trade deadline is approaching in mid-July. Byrnes should stock up on Red Bull, caffeine pills, and anything else to keep him awake. The dude needs work some magic if he wants to rebuild this squad.
One possible addition could be Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt. The fiery right-hander recently said he would waive his no-trade clause and would even consider going to the Washington Nationals.
Maybe his salary is too high ($15 million per year), but Oswalt and Haren could create a formidable 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation. That would only work, of course, if Haren himself isn't dealt this summer.
Which leads us to another option for Byrnes and Kendrick: They could trade away high-quality players such as Haren, Reynolds, Drew, Upton, and Chris Young for cheap, young prospects.
There are options for the front office over the next few weeks and months, so expect some changes.
The bright side is that it can't really get any worse. Unless they lose tomorrow, which will make 11 straight losses.

Miami Named Worst City to Live in America (Which Is the Wake-Up Call We Need)
If you wake up each morning and stroll out to the balcony of your luxury downtown condo in nothing but a silk robe to leisurely spend the morning checking your E-Trade account and making reservations for the night at Prime 112, you may, in fact, think Miami is the best city in the world.
If you spend two-and-a-half hours on the bus each morning traveling from the two-bedroom home you share with six people in Liberty City to your minimum-wage service industry job in Miami Beach, you may, in fact, think Miami isn't all it's cracked up to be. You might even think it's the worst place in America.
Words like "best" and "worst" can be subjective, especially when trying to measure something abstract like the character and livability of a city. 24/7 Wall St., however, has used their cold hard data to rank America's 50 worst cities to live.
Miami has come in dead last. Yes, it even beat out runner-up Detroit for the title.
It's a sobering reality check for a city that knows it has problems but rarely gets serious about actually fixing them.
Unlike other similar city ranking lists, 24/7 Wall St. only gives things like nice weather, amenities, and "fun things to do" a small percentage of its overall consideration. Rather, it went straight to the economic and practical realities. Cities were ranked in nine categories: crime, demographics, economy, education, environment, health, housing, infrastructure, and leisure.
We should note that the rankings only include cities with populations of 65,000 or more. Miami's ranking only reflects the city of Miami, and because it was considered the worst in Miami-Dade, no other cities in the county were considered (which is good news for Hialeah).
Here's the site's verdict on Miami:
1. Miami, Florida
Population: 430,341
Median home value: $245,000
Poverty rate: 26.2%
Pct. with at least a bachelor's degree: 23.6%
No city in the United States is worse to live in than Miami. The city's median home value of $245,000 is well above the national median of $181,200. However, with a median household income of only $31,917 a year, well below the national median of $53,657, most of these homes are either out of reach or a financial burden on most Miami residents.
Like most of the worst cities to live in, more than one in every four people in Miami live in poverty. According to recently released research from the nonprofit think tank the Economic Policy Institute, the top 1% of earners in the Miami metro area make about $2 million annually, 45 times greater than the average income of the other 99% of earners. This earnings gap makes the metro area nearly the most unequal of any U.S. city. Citywide violence is closely associated with a range of negative social and economic outcomes, including incarceration, unstable employment, lower cognitive functioning among children, and anxiety. A disproportionately large portion of Miami residents likely experience some of these outcomes as the city's violent crime rate, at 1,060 incidents per 100,000 people, is several times higher than the national rate.
We shouldn't be surprised by the rankings.
We know that crime is still at levels far too high here.
We all know income inequality is out of control.

Anyone who isn't aware that home prices and rent are inhumanely high has been living, well, probably not under a rock, but rather high above the clouds, far away from reality in a penthouse unit.
Traffic is bad, and our public transit system is a joke.
The vast majority of our economy is still based on the service industry, and the number of jobs that attract people with degrees is still way too low.
We know all of this already, and there's always lots of talk about how to fix it, and yet very little gets done.
Of course, we should point out the obvious caveat that this does include only the city of Miami, and it is sort of pointless to view Miami out of the context of wider Miami-Dade County (especially considering Miami proper is one of the smallest hubs of a major American metro area by both population and area). The city limits include some of the area's most luxurious neighborhoods and some of its worst. The vast majority of the middle class lives outside of Miami's city limits.
So, if this was a county-by-county or metro-by-metro ranking, we might not have come in dead last. But the problems highlighted by this ranking would remain no less true.

The stage was practically covered in roses. The audience was giving a standing ovation, their eyes filled with pure appreciation for the music they had just heard. Lovino bowed and bit his lip as he glanced at Feliciano standing next to him. The younger boy's face was sparkling with bliss, if there ever was anything besides that on it in any case; holding a rose he waved his hand at the audience, the other hand gripping his violin in a rather careless manner in Lovi's opinion. Lovino descended from the stage to the safety of the backstage, followed by his younger brother who was still sparkling like a certain movie character, letting out noises of happiness Lovino had grown used to.
"Good job, Feli", Lovino said, trying not to sound too annoyed. "That was beautiful."
"Ve~ Grazie, fratello! You were really good too!" the younger brother beamed, his eyes closed as usual.
"I wonder…" Lovino muttered, and turned around to walk to his dressing room. Feliciano's eyebrows curved in a way that made it clear he was upset about his brother's behaviour, but he had no time to think about it any further as he heard familiar steps behind him, and soon felt his boyfriend's strong hand resting on his shoulder. The worry for Lovino was replaced with happiness as the little Italian cuddled against his boyfriend, listening the most jubilantly as Ludwig praised his playing in his own, rather austere manner.
Lovino made his way to the door of his dressing room just to find out his way was blocked by a handsome blonde man holding out a rose.
"Magnificent, mon cher", Francis said and smiled, but got rewarded with but a glare.
"Piss off, Francis", Lovino gave his most gracious advice and tried to get through the door despite the taller man being on his way. Francis pursed his lips and tapped his cheek with the rose's blossom.
"Rude as always, I see", he said, making no effort whatsoever to move aside. "And I came all the way here just to congratulate you!"
Lovino shot a sullen look at Francis, his hand on the doorknob.
"Why don't you just go to find Feli, I bet he's the one you wanted to see anyway", he spit out, pulling the doorknob with no visible effect as the strength in his fragile arms wasn't enough to move the taller man. Francis shrugged, seemingly annoyed now was well.
"Maybe I will", he said, finally standing up straight from his leaning position against the door, and took a few steps away from Lovino. "Here's your rose, I came here just to deliver it so you'd better take good care of it." With that, he tossed the rose over his shoulder and walked away.
Lovino glared at the rose as if it had just cracked up a joke about his deceased mother, but finally bent down to pick it up and entered his dressing room. He closed the door behind him and threw the flower on the desk before the mirror, sinking to the wooden chair and heaving out a sigh. After that he continued the staring competition with the rose, his eyes mere slits. What did Francis think he'd accomplish by giving him a rose? The man was probably just trying to suck up to him so that he wouldn't kill him if he finally managed to bag his brother. Which wasn't very likely to happen, though, considering Feliciano was happily dating Ludwig. Or if not that, the flower was just given out of pity. Francis must know Feliciano was the one to receive all the glory of the concert they had just held together. And who could blame anyone for that? Feliciano was talented – no, more than that, he was a virtuoso. A natural talent, a genius. A mere look at a music sheet was usually enough for him to play the song with utmost skill. Feliciano was everything Lovino was not. Not only talented, but famous, rich, well-liked by everyone thanks his cute behaviour, and had a loving boyfriend supporting him. Lovino, in contrast, was potty-mouthed, always grumpy, left in his brother's shadow both in music and in social standing, and all the people around him seemed to be there only because of Feli.
The Italian was suddenly brought back to the reality in front of him by a knock on the door. After he grunted a permission to come in, Feliciano's head popped up from the chink of the door.
"Fratello! We're going to have a party at Francis' house, do you want to come with us?"
Lovino smiled tiredly and shook his head. "No thank you, Feli. I want to stay and practise a bit."
Feliciano looked a bit concerned and pouted. "Are you sure, fratello?"
"Si. Now get the hell out of here so that I can practise."
The younger brother seemed happy with this reply, and left after bidding Lovino good night and happy practising.
Lovino sighed again and stretched his fingers. Yes, he'd better practise. After all, he knew the only way he could ever get some recognition was to get skilful enough to rise from Feliciano's shadow. He took his violin and stood up, running the bow through the strings once before starting to play an old song he knew by heart, one that was passionate enough to suit his mood yet beautiful. He closed his eyes, letting the music lead him, feeling more alive than he did while at the stage. Here there was no one to judge him, no one to compare his playing to Feliciano's… As he was getting close to the finale he opened his eyes to deliver it with the intensity it deserved, but almost dropped his violin in shock as he saw a strange man standing at his door. The man had a smile on his round face that was partly hidden behind a long scarf, and was slowly clapping his hands. For some reason it seemed to Lovino that the man wasn't a part of the audience; he was dressed in a smart dark suit, yes, but Lovino wasn't quite sure what it was in him that seemed odd, if not the scarf.
"Splendid, comrade", the blonde man said with a thick accent, keeping the big smile on his face. "You're talented."
"Thank you", Lovino replied hesitantly, noting that there was no way out of the room should the stranger turn out to be dangerous, and no one would probably hear him scream in the empty building. The thought made the boy shiver, but he tried to look brave despite that.
"It must be difficult for you to be the virtuoso Feliciano Vargas' brother, though", the stranger suddenly continued and opened his eyes for the first time during the conversation, looking straight at Lovino. The stare made the boy shudder again.
"What do you know about that?" he said with a tone laced with irritation, biting his lip right after the words had slipped out of his mouth. It wasn't wise to pick fights with strangers bigger than him in a place where no one could save him, should the stranger decide to do something to him. Not that he'd be afraid.
The stranger's smile didn't falter as he continued to talk. "I know a lot of things, comrade. Like for example… the way to make you more talented than your brother."
Lovino blinked, not sure how to react to the blonde man's words. "Make me more talented? Don't fuck with me! It isn't as easy as that! There is nothing like… music steroids that could suddenly make me play the violin better than Feliciano!" he let out, irritated of just the idea of the stranger thinking music was something as simple as that. No, mastering the violin took years, a lifetime in fact, and Lovino knew he wasn't anywhere near perfect yet. In truth, however, should his playing be evaluated as it is he would definitely be considered extremely talented. However, as things were he was always compared to his younger brother, and deemed not as gifted as him.
"I was not suggesting anything like that, comrade. Talent takes hard work. That is why I believe you will be able to go far. But not without the help of this." The stranger placed a small pile of papers on the desk, and then looked at Lovino again. "Go ahead, pick it up. It's not anything dangerous."
Lovino eyed the paper suspiciously before picking the first paper up with the tips of his fingers and bringing it closer to see what it was. As soon as he realized that it was in fact a piece of sheet music, he took a firmer hold of it with both his hands and studied it through with utmost interest, before taking the rest and leafing through them as well. From the first glance he could see it was a very difficult piece, but the more carefully he read the notes the clearer it became that it was an extremely beautiful song.
"The Devil's Trill", the stranger said, and the smile on his face turned into something similar to a small grin. "A highly demanding piece. But you have the technical skills, so does your brother. However, you have something he doesn't – the passion. The emotion, the fury needed to play this song to its full capacity. Go ahead, give it a go. If you master this song, I can assure you you'll be regarded as an equal to Feliciano – no, superior, I should say." the blonde man opened the door and turned away from Lovino. "Well, I guess I should be off now. Da svidanija."
"Wait!" Lovino shouted after him, and managed to make him stop. The small Italian glared the man for a moment before talking. "What do I owe you for this?"
"Oh, nothing", the stranger smiled. "It's enough for me if I get to hear you play it once you have mastered it."
And with that, the man was gone, and Lovino was left alone in the dressing room with the pile of papers. He eyed the papers again before taking the first one with the name of the song written on it with big, curly letters, set it on a note stand, and with the calmness of a professional began to play the first part of the song.

Good morning groovers. 2011 went by faster then prehensible.
This is already the last post for this year. It is a 12" single that
was not for sale. It was a present of the 'Banque Commerciale

gonna continue to try and bring the unexpected.
Lots of luck and health in the new year !

A few minor spelling mistakes your program did not pick up. Most are only a letter or two away though(ex. trashing-thrashing) For the most part, I like the cat and mouse chase that started the whole thing. No better way to begin one of these pairing stories.
I found it pretty amazing that the reader could instantaneously switch to another character's point of view without battling an eyelash. I mean, the way you change it, like without a line or something that says, "POV Izaya," I could still follow the story line.
Finally, wow, 3 condoms in one sitting? Hm, that fact only increases the fic's hotness~ I love how everyone gets their own thoughts, unlike most fics that focus on, usually, the uke's emotions. Goooood job~

Remember the show "Happy Days?" The Fonz could never say one particular word. Even when he knew he made a mistake he couldn't admit that he was "wrong." He'd attempt to say it: "I was wroooo…" He never could quite enunciate the word clearly. For some reason, Fonzie had some internal blockage with saying the word "wrong."
Ryan Lochte, apparently, doesn't have a problem saying that word but, like Fonzie, he does have a problem saying another word.
During his recent interview with Matt Lauer, Lochte admitted that he was wrong and that the incident at the Rio gas station was his fault. However, neither in his press release that he posted on Twitter nor in his Matt Lauer interview did he ever admit that he "lied." Rather, in his release, he wrote that he needed to be "more careful and candid" in how he described the events. To Matt Lauer, he stated "I over-exaggerated that story." Well, yeah, that he did too. However, he just couldn't come out and say he lied, even though that's what he did. He told several lies. For example, he never had a gun pressed to his forehead and cocked like he initially stated. He never faced armed assailants flashing police badges, like he alleged. Those were LIES!

Supreme Court Takes Ax To Voting Rights Act
he Supreme Court dealt what looks like a mortal wound to the Voting Rights Act today, striking down the law's key enforcement metric. The court did not, as some had expected, strike down Section 5, which gives the federal government oversight over states and localities with a history of voter discrimination. Instead, in a 5-4 decision, the court's conservative justices ruled that the formula used to determine which places require oversight is out of date, CNN explains. (The Washington Post has a quick primer on the law's specifics.) Read more on Newser…

PlayByMail.Net is a PBM oriented website, whose aim is to promote play by mail gaming and to give PBM gamers a place to gather. From this website has evolved the PBM Wiki, a blog, and Suspense & Decision magazine, a PBM magazine for the 21st Century. The site contains both a discussion forum and a blog. The site seeks to facilitate PBM gaming by serving as a major modern resource for play by mail.
Well said, Grim - the passion comes through.
I suggest a chance to reach potential players is to change the name of the hobby from "PBM", which or course it was in the 1980's, to "Episodic Strategy Gaming". I don't think "Play by Mail" does either those of us who understand the term in its historical place, or those who might enjoy the games they have yet to discover, any justice, and is in fact a drag on progress, and just lazy to keep calling it something like "The Horseless Carriage."

Yellow Cake Or White Cake Mix...
Decorating By skippy Updated 20 Oct 2009 , 10:05pm by Win
As for as the taste goes I like the yellow cake. What do you use for wedding cake. I don't think customers really know the difference between the two flavors. Any suggestions?
White cake seems to be what everyone expects a wedding cake to be, but trends now tend to lean toward a wedding cake being any combination of flavors. For white cakes; however, I tend to prefer a recipe that uses whole eggs vs. just the whites. It seems to make a moister cake, IMHO.

Keg; Special.
James and Pete paired up for Gentleman's Wit (4.3% ABV). The inspiration, other than loving the zesty spiciness of wit, lies somewhere between a plate of lemon meringue pie and a cup of Earl Grey tea. James roasted 20 lemons covered in bergamot for 20 hours until they were juicy, fragrant, caramelised and sharp. The beer was made with a classic recipe and yeast strain with the lemons bombing into the whirlpool at the end of the brew.
It's turned out as one of the most incredible beers we've brewed. The colour is as beautiful as a beer can get: a hazy, unfiltered warm pastel yellow. The lemon and bergamot poke through the aroma, a hint of sharpness cuts through the middle, it's dry and interesting and quenching and a dry, phenolic spice ends the mouthful like a full stop ends a sentence.
Brewer: Camden Town Brewery (AB InBev)
Style: Witbier

Definition Edit
Knowledge sharing is
|an activity through which knowledge (i.e., information, skills, or expertise) is exchanged among people, friends, or members of a family, a community (e.g., Wikipedia) or an organization.
|[a] variety of activities . . . intended not (or not only) to share immediate or time-sensitive information but rather to build a common pool of knowledge and lessons learned across separate organizations.[1]
Overview Edit
Organizations have recognized that knowledge constitutes a valuable intangible asset for creating and sustaining competitive advantages. Knowledge sharing activities are generally supported by knowledge management systems. However, technology constitutes only one of the many factors that affect the sharing of knowledge in organizations, such as organizational culture, trust, and incentives. The sharing of knowledge constitutes a major challenge in the field of knowledge management because some employees tend to resist sharing their knowledge with the rest of the organization.
Knowledge sharing plays a key role in helping respect universality, indivisibility and the interdependence of human rights, and in particular, the freedom of expression and access to information. Knowledge sharing also helps achieve the goal of an education for all, information for all and the benefits that come from a diversity of cultures and identities.

|The Burning Wall Part I
|Written By:

|Edited By:
|Fred Wan
|September 6th, 2009
|Story Year:
The room was dimly lit with a single lamp and furnished with two sets of bedding and a small table. It was also very small, seven paces on one side by six paces on the other, numbers Hiruma Aki had arrived at by pacing around the room repeatedly.
Hiruma Akio watched her brother out of the corner of her eye as she picked up a sheet of paper and began to crease it with practiced, steady motions. "For the love of Hida," she said, "can't you stop that?"
Aki paused for a moment to stare pointedly at the small mound of paper crabs that sat next to her. "You fidget your way," he said, "and I'll fidget mine." He resumed pacing.
Akio dropped a crab onto the pile and picked up another sheet of paper. Her brother had a point, but he was still driving her to distraction. "How can you even have the energy to be this restless? We have been in battle for weeks. We have no idea how long the attacks will continue. Sit. Down."
She was his elder. She was the only family he had left. Aki sat down near her and picked up one of the paper crabs. "I'm sorry, sister," he said. "It's justthe attacks on the Wall, the rumors about the plagueI'm worried that it might be the beginning of" He broke off suddenly.
"Of what?" Akio asked.
"Nothing," Aki said. He toyed with the crab, refusing to meet her eyes.
Akio stopped folding paper and studied him, worry springing to life in her mind. Secretive behavior could spring from perfectly innocent reasons, like having an affair with your gunso's wife or developing a fondness for liquid void. Or it could be a mask for something involving kansen and a sudden aversion to jade. On the Wall, one took no chances. "Aki, what are you thinking?" she said.
"I'm a berserker," he said. "We don't think." He tossed the crab back onto the pile.
"You aren't berserk now," Akio said. She reached over the table and grabbed her brother's wrist. "You've been broody ever since you came back from Kitsune Mori. What happened to you? What did you learn from that prophet?"
"Nothing," Aki said, still looking away from her.
Akio was about to press the point when a loud, low gong sounded through the room. "Another attack," she said, releasing her hold on her brother. The two of them rushed out of the room, heading for the open stairway that led up to the main level of the Wall. At the top they paused, looking out towards the south. If the previous assaults were called waves, then what was before them was the tide: a dark, churning rabble that heaved and roared and had no end the eye could see. All about them gongs pealed and watch fires sprang into life as the defenders of the Wall readied themselves for battle.
"No," Aki moaned. "This can't be it."
Akio looked at him, disturbed. "What can't be it?"
"This can't be what we saw!" he shouted, pounding his fists on the stone before him. He whirled about and Akio could see that he was slipping away into the madness. "This Wall will not fall!" he screamed. He stood for a moment, hands balled into fists, and then raced off. Akio took two steps after him and then stopped. She knew from experience that Aki wouldn't be rational for hours, so there was no point in trying to find him and question him. He was off to fight his demons, and she needed to join her unit so that she could fight hers.
There had been a time when Akodo Hiroshi thought he could not get his fill of battle. He could no longer remember when that time was. He ran into position with the rest of his troop and looked for Hida Hikita, the old man who was his liaison with the Crab command structure. "What now?" he yelled at him.
"We're under attack!" Hikita yelled back.
Hiroshi swallowed a retort that would have been soul-satisfying but ultimately unproductive. "How should we fight it?" he said, pointing to the large, heavily armored oni currently trying to scramble up over their section of the Wall.
Hikita waved his attention over to a group of Crabs fussing over something involving a large barrel, a hose, and a very large pump. "Oh, the Kaiu have that one covered," he said. As Hiroshi watched, some of the Crabs began operating the pump while others aimed the hose towards the oni, drenching it with the odd-smelling liquid from the barrel. The oni took no notice of it until a shout went up and a flurry of flaming arrows came streaming down, igniting the liquid. The demon shrieked and lost its hold on the Wall, sliding out of sight. Hiroshi could feel the stones beneath his feet tremble for a few minutes while it tried to beat out the flames by throwing itself against the Wall.
"An efficient solution," Hiroshi said.
"When it works, it works well," Hikita said. "But there was one time when..." his voice trailed off as a score of flaming figures pulled themselves over the top of the Wall and dropped down to the walkway. They looked around for a moment and then charged the Kaiu. "Now there's something you don't see every day."
"Are they undead?" Hiroshi said, watching in amazement as more figures came over the side.
"Undead, and on fire thanks to the oni." Hikita picked up his dai tsuchi. "I thought I was done with that up north."
"Alive, dead, or undead, they are enemies of the Divine Empress. We will stop them." The newcomer wore armor in Akodo colors but with no mon, and his face showed perfect calm.
"Nagataka-san," Hiroshi said, after shooting Hikita a warning glance. "You fight with us today?"
"Yes, Gunso." Nagataka smiled at him. "Now is the time to make good my debt of honor." He drew his blade and ran towards the Kaiu who were now fighting for their lives, screaming a battle cry as he went.
"Foolish," Hikita said. "You need to attack there, where they are coming over the Wall."
"We will," Hiroshi said.
The Crab looked slightly confused. "You aren't going to go with him?" he asked.
"No," Hiroshi said. There was a note of sadness in his voice. "He might survive, then."
When he awoke, he didn't know where he was. Moto Juncheng stared blankly up at the wooden ceiling above him for a moment and then memory returned and he rolled off the pile of blankets he was on and tried to climb to his feet, stopping as pain shot through his arm and shoulder.
The woman tending to the man on the pile next to him looked up briefly. "Lay back down," she said. "I will see you in a moment."
Juncheng lay back down, fishing in his memory for her name. Xiong. Iuchi Xiong, one of the shugenja sent with the Unicorn forces to the Wall. He checked to see that he still had his sword and winced at the pain the movement cost him. His arm was going to hurt for a long time, but he had killed an oni who stood taller than the great temple of the Lords of Death, and how many samurai could say that?
Xiong arrived with a basin of water and a stack of clean cloth. Working swiftly she cut the fabric away from his wound, washed it clean, and then began to bandage it.
"This is taking too long," Juncheng complained. "Pray the kami's blessing on me and send me back to battle."
"I will send you back to battle," Xiong said, "but I have no prayers for you. The kami are exhausted from healing us, listening to us, watching us die. They have no more blessings for us."
Juncheng was silent then, distracting himself from the pain by looking around. "And these other men? Will you be sending them back too?"
"No," Xiong said. "They are more seriously injured; I am waiting for stretcher men to move them out of here. I've done all that I can for them."
Before Juncheng could think of something else to say the front wall of the healer's station blew in and something bounced off the opposite wall and rolled to a stop. As he stared at it in surprise the object began to move and break apart, revealing itself to be a group of oni holding tightly on to each other. After a moment he got a better look at themthey were chalk-white with six lean limbs and gaping mouths that took up most of their long, ovoid heads. The first one free swung its head and then leaped upon the nearest man, ripping hunks of flesh off of his body.
"No!" Xiong screamed. She pulled her wakizashi from its sheath and ran towards the pair. Before she could reach them, another oni leaped on her, fastening its jaws on her sword-arm. Juncheng rolled to his feet and dragged out his sword, yelling curses at the oni. He reached Xiong and swung at the oni as hard as he could. The beast kicked him aside lazily with one of its legs, and continued its feeding.
Juncheng staggered to his feet, pain lancing from his shoulder. He could see Xiong's last struggles against the monster, but now another one stood before him. He backed himself into a corner of the room and prepared to sell his life dearly.
The whole world was composed of screams and roars mixed with the stench of blood and entrails and overlaid with the sandpaper pain of thirst. Hida Kaoru swung her tetsubo with all of her dwindling strength and had the faint satisfaction of seeing the last goblin fall.
"How many of us are left?" croaked her commander, looking around. "Six? Right, we will"
"Ware left!" someone cried, and then they were in battle again as two large, red-fleshed oni charged into them. Kaoru ran to aid her commander and then the world went flying as the slick surface betrayed her footing. She landed on her shoulder, losing both her breath and her weapon. Hida, she thought, holding on to consciousness. Her family. The clan.The Wall. She started to climb back to her feet and looked up to see one of the oni standing in front of her, raising his club for a killing blow. Kaoru froze, unwilling to surrender to defeat but unable to think of something to stop it.
The shout was followed by a samurai wielding a gleaming no dachi. Kaoru blinked in surprise as he set to the oni and swiftly killed it. The newcomer glanced around, taking in the bodies laying around, and dashed towards her.
"This one is still alive," he announced, dragging her up by her arm. "You'll need to help her out," he added, shoving her into someone's arms.
"Go teach your grandmother to drink sake," a voice snapped back, and Kaoru recognized Hiruma Akio. The gunso looked as tired as Kaoru felt, but she showed no weakness as she started to lead the two of them away. "Are you injured?"
"Just bruised," Kaoru said. "Bad fall."
"Good. My squad is being sent to hold this section. After the healers look at you you'll join us and Fubatsu. They are sending up some Lions to reinforce us."
Kaoru nodded. "The battle," she said. "How is it going?"
"On," Aki said. "It's going on and on and on."

From the 12/21&28 New Yorker, page 120, artist Barbara Smaller.
Dang, this week's issue had great cartoons! See the other two I've posted below.
This one especially struck me as more poignant than funny. I thought of posting it in my ER when I go in for my shift on Saturday (God and the sleep spirits willing), but then realized that in some of the staff, overworked and fed up with patients who "don't really need to be in an ER," it would evoke only anger about the current medical system: patients without insurance, patients with insurance who don't go to their primary-care docs for simple problems (but we on the receiving end of the stethoscope can't always tell what's simple or not!), patients who wait until 6 PM on a Friday to come in with a problem, now complex, that would have been simple if they'd gone to their primary-care docs three months ago. Of course, if they have neither insurance nor knowledge of local low-income clinics, they could only have come to the ER three months ago, and then they would have been dismissed as not really needing to be in the ER.
Can you say, "No-win situation?"
And even for those of us with insurance, primary care is only dispensed in fifteen-minute installments.

#194: Examine workflow for Bloodhound site
Reporter: gjm | Owner: nobody
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: siteadmin | Version:
Resolution: | Keywords:
Comment (by olemis):
I was trying to follow this conversation and it's been hard in general .
Many times I had to scroll up to know was said before and connect it with
comment text , until I had to scroll once again because I forgot and had
no means to «refresh my RAM» quickly. Could we please use reply button
more often ? Especially in this kind of branchy conversations ... for the
sake of legibility ;).
This also makes me wonder that maybe we should have collapsible replies
plus (expand / collapse) all replies links/buttons .
Replying to [comment:1 jdreimann]:
> I can think of a few things that could help here, some immediate, some
longer term:
I welcome all these suggestions, yes . Especially sometimes it's a bit
hard for me to know what assigned tickets have pending patches , for
instance .
> 1. People shouldn't assign tickets to themselves unless they are
planning to work on them in the near future -> it's not a landgrab.
Sometimes I've had the intention to start with a ticket but something
happens ... please read below ;)
> 2. The status of tickets is currently either 'new', 'assigned',
'accepted' or 'resolved' and 're-opened' as far as I can tell. In reality
something like this happens: 'new', 'work in progress', 'pending review',
'resolved'. (Work usually means code). Matching this more closely and
providing better control to move between states would help.
The only thing I'd like to add is that sometimes between 'work in
progress', and 'pending review' , ticket enters an state in which nothing
can be done until something happens (e.g. another ticket has to be closed,
green light to a decision, pending discussion with trac-dev et al.,
research, improvements needed, trac-hacks.org down ... and alike) . Maybe
it's worth having a separate status for this (i.e. remove owner , but
ticket is not technically ''new'' ;) . This is related to 1 above , btw .

World's Smallest Church
It is not only the church here, but a wonderful outdoor model train installation and "Lucky Mojo," a shop/mail order business that specializes in "paraphernalia of conjure" like voodoo, religious, etc. All together a wonderful stop!![David Rosenstein, 11/17/2015]
Tiny Church at the Tiny Church
The tiny church in Forestville always seems enveloped in a pleasing cocoon of unconventional energy. We popped in just before New Year's, and the Lucky Mojo shop was abuzz with charm-making and positive spell recipe-sharing. The outdoor miniature model railroad didn't seem to be in service that day, and its tiny town looked like a hurricane had struck (winter storm debris loosed from the trees). A miniature version of part of the property includes the labyrinth, and an itty bitty replica of the tiny church. And a pair of twin girls sitting on a bench.[RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 01/01/2015]
World's Smallest Church
Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, billed as the World's Smallest Church, is 35 square inches smaller than the previous record-holder in New York State.
It is open to the public 7 days a week. Candle services are conducted daily. The altars, under a stained glass window, contain a multitude of deities from all faiths: Christian, Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist, Kemetic, shamanic, tribal, etc. Two smaller shrines outside flank the building. The church has its own Yahoo group with hundreds of members.[cat yronwode, 07/02/2007]

La Trace des Pères: exclusive soundtrack on Jamendo
Published on April 16 2013
Before it even hits the theaters in September, we'd like to present the exclusive single from the soundtrack of the film La Trace des Pères!
Directed by Emmanuel Graff, this documentary is a vibrant manifesto of the industrial heritage in northeastern France, and how it is passed on to the new generation.
Hamé, leader of the popular Parisian hip-hop act La Rumeur, lays his vocal trademark on the original soundtrack, "La Trace de Nos Pères".
On his side: O'Nassim, Hatim & K-Listo (Soledad), Jack Herer and Stratégie de Paix. Five talented, local MCs, rapping about immigration, factory work, people's attachment to the region, their legacy, their gratitude towards "the fathers". Hamé and his signature flow appear at the end of the song.

Best Of :: People & Places
An endlessly laudable organization, FIAC was founded in 1996 by ten attorneys and activists concerned about cuts in funding to immigrant advocacy. Their budget was $400,000. Ten years later, they have 40 employees and a $2.4 million budget. Their tireless work on behalf of all immigrants, from Haitian asylum-seekers to migrant farm workers, is desperately needed in South Florida. FIAC attorneys, led by executive director Cheryl Little, are at the forefront of immigrant issues -- ranging from poor conditions at detention centers to the burgeoning human trafficking industry.
James "Jimbo" Luznar opened his joint on Virginia Key, Jimbo's, a half-century ago. And there's no better place on the water to take a toot.
What is your greatest triumph?
We used to be where the Herald building is, but then they said our boats would have to go. So we looked at Snapper Creek, Mart Park, then we ended up on Virginia Key. It stunk sometimes, and there were mosquitoes, snakes, coons, opossums, and iguanas. It cost us a lot of money to be there, but we stayed. They've been trying to get me out of there for a long time, but now everyone all over the world knows Jimbo.
Born in Homestead, Kevin Wynn is the producer and cohost of Downtown Dade, a TV talk show that covers the arts and culture and airs on the county's government access channel. He is also the coprogrammer, with Barron Sherer, of Cinema Vortex, a nonprofit organization devoted to screening unusual, significant, and neglected film and video works. And he's the creator of Public Domain Playhouse, a continuing series of screenings he curates with Sherer.
What is your greatest triumph?
My greatest triumph? I dont do triumph. Ive never had one. I cant tell you how it feels to triumph, or what it looks, tastes or smells like. I wouldnt know triumph if some guy ran over me with a TR4.
There are several safe, clean places where we can let Fido run off-leash in Miami-Dade. Coconut Grove has several dog-friendly parks; the Beach has some nice locations; there's a spot on Virginia Key where dogs can swim and sunbathe; but of all the canine treats in my Miami, the mac daddy of all dog parks is in Aventura. Two years ago the city, which is burgeoning with young dog-owning families, built the expansive new Veterans Park. The $600,000 two-acre expanse has a wonderful, well-kept, welcoming space. There are pooper-scooper dispensers throughout the space. There are doggy water fountains and doggy showers. And the most endearing detail: red fire hydrants. All of this greatness, of course, comes at a price: You have to live in Aventura, and show proof of residence, to gain access. It's almost reason enough to move there.
It is a dark time for Miami-Dade County's executive mayor. The evil lords on the county commission annihilated Carlos Alvarez's bold offensive to strip them of some bribe-making abilities. Then the Galactic Empire displayed the true power of the Dark Side when it crushed Alvarez in the Boundary Wars. Beaten but resolute, the good mayor fled to the outer rim of the county's suburban wasteland to regroup and complete his training. Upon his return, Alvarez successfully destroyed the Imperials' diabolical device: The Public Silencer. In time, this Obi-wan of the Swamp may finally bring balance to the county.
Come one, come all, to the "Read to Farley" sessions at the children's section of the North Miami Beach Library, the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month at 4:00 p.m. This is no ordinary dog. This shaggy mop o' unconditional love once suffered from crippling agoraphobia, owing to early abuse. But his patient handler, Margo Berman, a professor at Florida International University, worked tirelessly, training him to overcome his fears and earn his Therapy Dog badge. Now Farley helps shy children who have trouble reading aloud. Once the youngsters sit down with Farley on the colorful rugs, they don't want to stop reading him stories because he is a great listener, mispronunciations be damned!

House of Plantagenet
Under this house, Western France became tied to the English crown, and effectively moved the capital to France, with the British mainland becoming second best to land in France.
