Two people sit across from one another. Their eyes transfixed on one another. They hold long deep gazes without uttering a single word. However, words aren't necessary in this connection of the soul. With watery eyes they walk away silently in separate directions. Both to an uncertain future but having made peace with their tumultuous past, somehow they found closure.
This could be a scenario of two complicated lovers, or a father and son or mother and daughter relationship. Whatever the case may be, we search for closure. We search for that other person in the relationship to say "it's OK to move on, I forgive you" or "I'm sorry for (fill in the blank)". But do we really need it?
When we lose a relationship in death, we mourn but eventually accept the reality that death is a part of life. But in the loss of a living relationship, it's a bit more complicated. It's easy when we are the catalyst for a break up. But when it's the other way around, it's hard! And that's the rub. That's when we seek to find closure.
I'll admit it would be nice to have closure and put it away in the attic. But this is life and it doesn't work that way. Nobody is required to give us closure, no one is required to give us permission to move on.
Hey! Wait a minute!…that's the key. We have the power to give ourselves that permission. We have more power than we realize. It starts with the choice to move forward and we don't need anyone's permission to do so. I'm not saying any of this shit is easy…it never is.
In closing I'll answer the question and say "no, I don't need closure". I'm not empowering that person or some object I have of theirs in order to move on. I'm a grown ass man and certainly don't need their permission. So I ended last year (2016) by cleaning up lot's of physical items. I had keepsakes and just tossed them. I knew that if I started to read letters, I would put them back in the drawer until the next time I would build up the courage to throw them out. Out they went into a bag and then the street. I felt better, I felt a burden lifted, I felt less tense and I felt……. closure.

LJ update from Hayley
Hayley updated Live Journal. You can find the original post from here.
A shrivel of an update! I owe ya more later…
The last couple weeks have been so. intense. In the best way, though. We've been flying around everywhere telling everyone about the new album and honestly, it's been such a relief. I'm just thankful we got here. Do you know what I'm talking about?
It's been a few years. I don't think I realized how long it's actually been since we've put something new out there. Made ourselves 100% vulnerable again and handed the world another magnifying glass to look back into our lives. Intensity. But it's about time! If there's anything that I learned over the last couple of years it's that there isn't a doubt in my heart that this is what we are designed to do. Make music and connect to other people's lives through whatever opportunities that music allows. It feels like we have a whole new chance. The 3 of us are so excited to take full advantage of this chance and all the possibilities that we're given. So yeah, it's already been intense but I'm down for whatever!
Our first real single in agggggesssss came out last week. If you don't know about it… well, it's called "Now". I like it a lot. Seems like we were waiting for so long to get it out there and now that it is, we're just itching to put the whole album out. There's no way to tell you what our album is like in words… I can't describe the sound because there are A LOT of sounds. And though we really hope you'll go buy the single, "Now" alone won't even really explain what the entire album is about or what it all sounds like. Guess you're just going to have to come along for the ride! And if you're willing… we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Rehearsals later this week and a whole lot more interviews/photoshoots/and all the ridiculousness that is just a means to get to the shows ;) We'll keep you posted!

Alice in Wonderland - Still life
I'm a BIG fan of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have over 300 copies of that book with many different illustrators.
I've been wanting to do a painting based on the book for quite some time. A Mad Tea Party is my favorite chapter so that is what inspired this still life. "It's Always 6 O'clock" is oil on canvas, 24 x 30.
I've used this battenburg lace in several of my paintings and I think I'm finally figuring out how to paint it

Chenrezig Series
The inspiration for the creation of the Kalachakra designer watch is drawn from the rich spiritual traditions of Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism.
Although we believe in the blessing of the Kalachakra emblem and other sacred symbols and images we do not intend to market our watches as "charm" but as an aesthetic representation of a long and glorious spiritual tradition. Hence our watches do not under go rite of consecration which is the norm for such objects. However the growing number of retreat Lamas under our sponsorship have been requested to grant their blessings and to dedicate their intense practice for World Peace and the benefit of all sentient beings in general and to the owners of the Kalachakra series of watches in particular.

Libraries Build Strong Communities campaign
The Libraries Build Strong Communities campaign is coordinating its final phase of fundraising with National Library Week, April 12-18. The annual observance, established to celebrate the contributions of the nation's libraries and promote the use of all types of libraries, was first sponsored in 1958, the year the Amos Memorial Public Library first opened at its current location on North Street.
"In the 1950s, people were concerned that Americans were reading less because of the popularity of television and radio," said Suzanne Cline, Executive Director of the Shelby County Libraries. "We face a similar situation now with the Internet and electronic technology, so every year in April, National Library Week is a reminder that libraries will always play an essential role in the vitality of a community, regardless of the current media."
This year, the Shelby County Libraries are nearing the final stages of fundraising for a $4.8 million expansion and renovation to the Amos Memorial Public Library, which also serves five community locations throughout the county. The campaign has secured $4.2 million in gifts and pledges and has moved into the design development stage of construction with bidding scheduled for late fall and groundbreaking in March of 2016.
"We are pleased that our campaign can now reach out in addition to the major donors and coordinate our final public phase with National Library Week," said Cindy Helman, campaign director. "We continue to focus on wrapping up our discussions with those who can support the library with larger gifts, but the library belongs to the community, and we want everyone to take ownership in a building that will serve the entire county."
Beginning April 13, the libraries in Sidney, Anna, Botkins, Fort Loramie, Jackson Center, and Russia will unveil an "I Donated" promotional wall to encourage small donations. Displays will feature the name of the donor on a card in the shape of a book, which will be posted on the wall. Each card will be color-coded to indicate a donation at the $1, $5, $10, and $20 level.
Information on purchasing a natural stone paver to be laid in the new, paved areas of the building project will also be available. Pavers from a gift to the campaign of Western Ohio Cut Stone can be purchased with a minimum $100 donation and may be inscribed as an honor or a memorial.
On April 19, Lane Park will offer Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and donate the proceeds to the campaign. The following week, on Tuesday, April 21, at 6:30 p.m. the Amos Memorial Public Library will host an information session to describe the building project and the upgrades patrons can expect when it is completed.
Helman urges individuals to donate soon. "Our timeline for fundraising is coming to an end, so we encourage anyone who has been mulling a gift to the library to take action within the next few weeks. We have been humbled by the generosity of our major donors. They make it possible for us to lay the foundation of a remarkable change in our city library and its services to the county, but the small gifts by the thousands of patrons who visit the system each month will determine the reach of the vision."
Gifts of less than $100 may be contributed at the Amos Memorial Public Library or at any of the locations in Ft. Loramie, Russia, Anna, Botkins, or Jackson Center.
Donors who wish to make a larger gift may pledge over a three-year period and are asked to make checks payable to the Community Foundation of Shelby County with 'library' on the memo line and send to the Foundation at 100 S. Main Ave. Suite 202, Sidney, Ohio 45365.
A $100-$999 gift is eligible for a commemorative stone paver to be laid in the paved areas. A $1,000-$9,999 gift will be noted in etched glass on a wall inside the North Street entrance, and gifts of $10,000 or greater will be preserved on a permanent plaque in the new addition. For larger gifts, a list of naming opportunities is available. More information on the project and ways to contribute may be found at the library website shelbyco.lib.oh.us.

How to Find a Great Hair Salon Near You
Finding a Black Hair Salon You Can Trust
We've all felt the anxiety and panic of booking with an unfamiliar hair salon or barbershop. You don't want to end up with the worst haircut ever or a hair color disaster. Finding a new hair stylist or barber can be a frustrating experience. If you've ever relocated to a new city, or been out of town and needed a stylist or barber, you know what we mean. How can you find a salon or shop you can trust with your tresses? Here's 3 tips to help you find a licensed Black hair stylist or barber on the go.
3 Tips to Find a Great Black Hair Salon or Barbershop
1. Ask for referrals from hair salon clients
A talented salon profesional has the best advertising–their existing clients.
If you notice a great hair cut, color or hairstyle on someone, compliment the person and ask for a referral.
Why not get styled by someone whose work you already admire. Asking "who did your hair?" can land you in the right chair.
2. Search social media to find ethnic stylists
Many happy clients post selfies and shout out their favorite hairstylist. You can view their work and decide if they can provide the hairstyle or haircut you want to achieve.
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are all popular social media sources to search for a Black hair stylist or barber. You can use hashtag searches (try #bestdooz) to find a hair braider, tight fade barber, colorist, custom design, loctician or natural hair stylist near you.
But, even the most captivating posts shared by your friends on Facebook can go unnoticed in a fast-moving newsfeed. The only problem is by the time you realize you need to connect with the stylist in that post, their link and post are buried and gone.
3. Find a beauty salon or barber in the major search engines
People search the internet on their mobile device to find everything these days including a quality stylist or barber. Our hair salon finder features great hair stylists and barbers nationwide. Search for a Black hair stylist near you. Pay close attention to the search results with photos of their hairstyles and reviews from happy clients.
Find Black Hair Stylists and Barbers near You
Several years ago, Lori Fisher found herself in need of a new look and professional help. Her hair was dull, and damaged from years of heat and overprocessing. She realized she really needed a licensed cosmetologist that specialized in Black hair styles and could restore her damaged hair to healthy hair.
"I had fallen OUT of love with my hair," she confided.
She was able to finally find a great stylist and fall in love with her hair again. She told everyone how her hairstylist made her love her hair again.
Lori always had an entrepreneurial spirit and she found other women loved to share their BestDooz too. Thus BestDooz.com was born. BestDooz.com is a website and mobile app that connects you with local Black hair stylists, barbers and salons.
BestDooz.com is a website and mobile app that brings together the top sources for ethnic hair, natural hair and beauty. The site features a nationwide salon directory of licensed hairstylists, barbers and makeup artists. BestDooz.com is all about loving your hair…however you choose to wear it!

Ontario Centres of Excellence brings Federal allies to greenhouse gas battle
May 10, 2016
Ontario's $74 million greenhouse gas innovation initiative, managed by Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), has two new federal partners to assist in the battle to reduce pollution-causing emissions.
Today at Discovery 2016, Dr. Tom Corr, President and CEO of OCE, Chris Boivin, Vice President, Investments at the Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) and Dr. Bettina Hamelin, Vice President of the Research Partnerships Directorate at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced that their respective organizations would work together to enhance Ontario's Greenhouse Gas Innovation Initiative.
"Tackling greenhouse gas emissions requires buy-in from the public and private sectors and that's exactly what this initiative addresses," said Dr. Corr. "By engaging our partners and leveraging additional resources from NSERC and SDTC, we will be able to support the kinds of technologies that stand to have a positive impact on the environment. We will also work to find new partners in order to expand this initiative even further."
In February, Premier Kathleen Wynne announced that as part of the $325 million Green Investment Fund, OCE would manage a greenhouse gas innovation initiative to encourage large industrial plants to adopt leading edge technologies that will cut greenhouse gases through demonstration projects while supporting Ontario entrepreneurs and researchers in the development of creative new cleantech solutions.
"The need to transition to a low-carbon economy is the key to our commitment to Ontario's Greenhouse Gas Innovation Initiative," says Reza Moridi, Minister of Research and Innovation. "Strategic partnerships like this will unleash the power of our best scientists, industry leaders and entrepreneurs to deploy breakthroughs into the marketplace, and position Ontario to compete and succeed in the global cleantech market."
Bringing Federal partners to the table will mean additional resources and co-investments for the initiative. SDTC will support cleantech entrepreneurs and their industrial partners with market-ready technologies and NSERC will co-fund industry academic collaborations.
"SDTC is delighted to be collaborating with OCE and NSERC," says Leah Lawrence, CEO, Sustainable Development Technology Canada. By working together, we will be better able to support Canadian entrepreneurs as they look to accelerate and scale-up their ideas to tackle climate change, in Ontario, Canada and around the world."
"NSERC is proud to be involved in a unique partnership that tackles one of the world's most pressing issues," says Dr. B. Mario Pinto, President of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. "We are providing opportunities for companies to work more closely with highly skilled academics on R&D projects, helping deliver innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gases."
OCE has a longstanding focus on cleantech, having supported many hundreds of cleantech-related companies. Over the past two years, OCE has supported 243 clean-tech related projects leading to the creation and retention of close to 900 jobs.

The Tönnö museum bridge, the only site of the Finnish Road Museum in the Päijät-Häme region. The arched bridge is 37 metres long and 6.5 metres wide and was designed by Jalmar Castrén in 1911 and it is Finland's oldest reinforced-concrete road bridge.
The surroundings of the Tönnö museum bridge, The Tönnönkoski rapids, are listed as nationally important cultural landscape. The long history of settlement in the Porvoonjoki River valley is evident here. Archaeological surveys have revealed numerous Stone Age dwelling sites in the vicinity of the rapids.
The earliest information on a mill built in the rapids is from 1586. As many a four mills have operated at the same time in the rapids. At present, there are two flour mills and the remains of a sawmill. The older mill (Niemen mylly) is from the 19th century. It went out of use in 1967. The later mill, known as Tönnön mylly, dates from the early 1900s and is still in use.
Next to the bridge is an information sign on the history of the region.

Take it up with ldapext:-) And I guess we could make a slapd.conf option which turns on your preferred way. The ramifications are that things can break, I think. In particular DN-valued attributes in the search result or in an Add request. The server can't help with that either, the client would have to handle it. Also, now that I think of it, back-hdb/ldif subtree rename is broken if there are referral objects with DNs in the subtree. So I guess the slapd.conf option should allow to strip DNs that match the entry DN. And maybe allow to be more paranoid about rewriting writes (and Binds?) than searches. However... >> Both RFCs disagree. > > They are wrong. Or at least, under-specified. In X.501 section 17.3 > "Directory Distribution Model" it's quite clear that all of the > components of a distributed directory must belong to a single DIT. Which is not true in the LDAP world, and I don't know about today's X.500 world. Nameflow died and Dante was unable to resurrect it. Maybe the X.500 world has also switched to 'dc' structure, I don't know. Anyway, LDAP is not X.500. Remember, LDAP referrals need not even be LDAP URLs. My guess is that's one reason for the difference from X.500: When you can even return a HTTP URL, why should you _not_ be allowed to return a far smaller change from the original URL? Also LDAP started out a lot sloppier than X.500. Getting some response which hopefully resembled what you wanted was better than none:-) > And again, the service model requires the directory to store the > client's data without any alteration. If the client wants to create > the entry "cn=me,o=we" either that exact entry must be created, or the > operation must fail. Well, the operation does fail in the original server. Then the client may try another operation at another server... I don't know if that's a valid interpretation of the service model or not. In any case, it's a detail compared to the mess -- Hallvard

The 2000 Year Epic Campaign
Soaring Waves
The Soaring Waves is one of many pirate ships that belong to the Tempest Swarm that sails around the Styrc Isles. The ship is commanded by Chaza, a kenku, was has plagued the good people of these islands for some time.
Session #8 (3rd Era) – Recently the Soaring Waves sunk a gnomish ship seeking research on what would be come to be known as Ao's Well. They captured Elze Crinkletoes and had plans to ransom her back to gnomes of Geargrind Island. As they waited on their camp for the Soaring Waves to return they were attacked by the crew of the Sea Word and killed. Elza was rescued and taken back to Geargrind Island. The Soaring Waves intercepted them and was disabled by the Sea Word who took the last six crewmen as prisoners back with them.
Session #9 (3rd Era) – The Sea Word crew interrogated the captured pirates before turning them over to the gnomes of Geargrind Island. They learned that they are led by a man named Kaithor Blacksail, there are seven pirate ships in the Styrc Isles, and they have hideouts in Jagged Isle and Razorspine Isle, and Ao's Well.

War is brutal, ugly and profoundly disturbing -- exactly the kind of thing from which any parent would want to shield a child.
But when a nation goes to war, it's hard to hide the truth. Parents who have diligently protected their children from the harsher realities of life are now getting tough questions about bombs and missiles, or being asked to explain the difference between chemical and biological weapons.
To their credit, many news organizations are trying to help. But the reporting aimed at children often illustrate the difficulty adults have in giving up the big words like "logistics" or "strategizing" or "technological" in favor of simple terms and examples that children can relate to.

It's late and all, but the reviewing train has to keep on truckin'. And with crazyman Stephin Merritt at the helm you never know what concept could be up next. Maybe he'll have a concept album about words that rhyme with 'chair'! Maybe he'll have a concept album where each song represents a letter of the alphabet! Maybe it'll be an album about the sky and the colour blue! Or maybe it'll just an album of dance songs that are between two and two and a half minutes long. Sigh.
Here's the basic formula: think of a progressive song title (bonus points if it's cloying and/or pretentious), then think of a bunch of words that rhyme with said title, then come up with a dozen or so quick verses that end with one of said rhyming words, then repeat the song title a few times. Success!
All of this is above synthesized dance music, not a bit of which sticks around, at least not in my mind. It's all rather tired, but in classic Magnetic Fields style the album yields a few amazing songs to offset all the blah. "God Wants Us To Wait" is almost hilarious (and very catchy), and the tale of falling in love with a friend's dance dare "Andrew In Drag" is just as funny (and VERY catchy), and late-album winner "Quick!" is positively Stars, all creative uses of the title word to drive the melody and hints of genuine emotion.
But the rest…gah, fuck. There's a song called "I'd Go Anywhere With Hugh," and I hope you "like" that pun because the song sure as fuck won't let you forget it. There's a couple dumb crooning songs. There's an infernal dance song called "Infatuation (With Your Gyration)," and I hope you like that one rhyme because the song sure as fuck won't let you forget it. There's a song proudly titled "My Husband's Pied-A-Terre," and like the other songs in this paragraph it's just a silly, short dance song that nobody would ever dance to. The song I wrote about Stalin last night is better than these gnobblers! He sounds so proud of every somewhat clever rhyme, as if those are substitutes for content! There isn't a single song with memorable music! There's an awful mariachi song! Gah, make it stop!
But dem three songs. That's gotta be worth average, at least. But god damnit, thinking of all the times you can rhyme a city name with a verb doesn't make music interesting. And they ARE capable of being clever when they went – like that one time they describe fighting as "like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks," but most of this serves to make me think Stephin Merritt (or at least his songwriting persona) is a (talented) bag of ass. But dem three songs! Yet I'm so glad that it's over, and you will be too.

Happyness & Validation
Joy is an INTERNAL state of consciousness that determines how we perceive and experience the world. If you have lost touch with your internal source of joy, if the happiness you experience always originates in circumstances OUTSIDE yourself, then you are at the MERCY of every situation and every STRANGER you meet. This kind of happiness is always elusive.
Happiness for a REASON is just another form of MISERY because the reason can be "taken away" from us at any time. To be happy for NO REASON is the happiness we want to experience!!!
If you think I'm happy because I have a great job, great friends, money or by the validation of a beautiful woman. Notice, all these reasons for happiness are tenuous, they can come and go like a passing breeze.
Happiness already exists within us, but is often covered up by distractions with our everyday concerns. Social conditioning and constricted awareness keep us distracted from it. Watch a documentary on primitive people living in Africa in a mud hut …Why are they so happy? They have nothing!
See when our life is an expression of the inner state of happiness we discover an immense reservoir of power within us. When we are self-validated, we don't need the validation of others this power gives us freedom from fear and limitations and allow us to realize all the abundance we aspire to. We find ourselves becoming beacons of light and love, and our very presence nurtures the environment around us
Happiness is the goal of all goals, and it is a state of consciousness that already exists within you. And when happiness eludes us, we seek pleasure through addictive behaviors like alcohol & drugs out of the unconscious hope that we will find joy but external cause of happiness will never create real joy.

"...The best way to deal with this is to literlly escalate on every girl you open for a month straight.

Once your at this point it becomes so easy and natural it becomes second nature. I did this challenge and it blew all my fears away, and it was one of the tipping points where I started really getting the girls I wanted."...

Trayvon Martin's tragic death last February prompted an outpouring of emotion from black parents. Blog posts and articles written by several black parents featured on the Guardian revealed that Trayvon's death was their shared worst nightmare – a fate they worried (and imagined) could just as soon happen to their child.
"What happened to Trayvon Martin is the fear that every parent of a black boy lives with," wrote Nick Chiles. "A fear that grows every year as they age and begin to leave your house without you alongside them."
One year later, we've gone back to those parents and asked them about the ongoing impact Trayvon Martin's death has had on their families and in their communities. They reveal that Trayvon's death is still very much a household conversation. With gun violence continuing to escalate in cities around America, these parents tell us how they struggle to explain the deaths of so many young men to their kids.
The parents
Franchesca Warren is a mother, wife, blogger, freelance writer and publisher of the educational magazine, The Educator's Room. She currently resides in Atlanta with her family.
Christy Oglesby lives and works for CNN in Atlanta, Georgia. She is the mother of one son and has been a journalist for 23 years covering police, government, courts, crime, healthcare, and natural disasters.
Josie Pickens is an educator and culture critic who teaches, writes, and raises her daughter in Houston, Texas. In addition to regularly contributing to Ebony.com, she also writes at www.jonubian.com.
Nick Chiles is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author. His latest book is Fatherhood: Rising to the Ultimate Challenge. He lives in Atlanta.
Do you still talk about Trayvon at home? How have your conversations evolved over the course of the year?
Franchesca: I discuss Trayvon's death with my 12 year old son. He still has a lot of questions about why Trayvon was killed and if he could 'end up' like him.
I've even caught him going online and looking up details of the case on his own time.
When it first happened I wanted to minimize it but with the recent killing of Jordan Davis and then with the toddler being slapped on a Delta's airline flight he has some serious questions about race in America.
Christy: We don't discuss Trayvon by name regularly. My son and I have conversations about situations and decisions, and we both know that many of those discussions have a subtext of race.
For example, track season just started and last week he mentioned that he wanted to make sure that he ran everyday. I told him that I'd look for a track. We both know that's because I don't let him run in our neighborhood.
Drew recently turned 13, so I've loosened the reins a bit. I let him go to the electronics section without me while I stroll through house wares or garden supplies. That's not something I let him do when he was 11 and 12. Before we walk in the store, he knows the routine. I take his jacket so he doesn't have clothes with large pockets, and he knows not to put his hands in his pockets while he walks through the aisles.
Nick: I discussed the Trayvon Martin case on several occasions with my son, 20, who was away in college when it happened.
Whenever he comes back to Georgia from college, it seems like he gets stopped by the police at least once a week.
So the issue of how he comports himself when he's out of the house is a constant worry for me.
Josie: My daughter, who is seven, and I discuss Trayvon every time we pass a memorial and mural of him in our community. It's difficult to frame answers to a child's questions about racial profiling and murder. I discuss Trayvon more with my students, who are mostly college freshman, along with the murder of Jordan Davis. It's important they understand that what happened to Trayvon was not an isolated event. They are heartbreaking but necessary conversations.
How has Trayvon Martin's death affected you as a parent?
Fran: It has made me be more frank with my children and their experiences with race. Before, I wanted to make sure they never experienced anything like my parents did growing up in the American South during the Civil Rights Movement.
With the onset of so much violence occurring to men of color I believe it's my duty to have those frank conversations with them--especially with my oldest son.
Christy: I don't know Trayvon's mother, but I just felt connected to her. I felt like her tragic story could be mine. After I wrote the article last year, so many black women who have sons thanked me for writing it. They felt like it helped tell the world about the fears we live with and all the extra steps we take to keep our boys safe. Trayvon walked to the store. He just wanted candy and tea.
Any mom could identify with giving their child a few dollars to walk to the corner store. A teenager SHOULD be able to do that. But not all teens can.
As a mom, Trayvon's death had the effect of making me think about what other safeguards do I need to keep my son safe.
Nick: While Trayvon may not be something black parents still talk about regularly, he is always with us, in the back of our minds, as a reminder of what can happen to our black male child when he leaves the house.
Cases like his and the shooting of Jordan Davis, also in Florida, and many others that have occurred since last February all become lodged deep in the psyches of black parents.
This is something we have been living with for generations in the U.S., as every generation is haunted by its own brutal killing, from Emmett Till to 4 little girls in Birmingham to Yusuf Hawkins to Trayvon. They never leave us.
Has Travyon Martin's death led to any changes in your community?
Fran: I've seen kids become more vocal about their outrage about injustice--in all forms. They want to form petitions, march and practice civil disobedience just to say they're tired of the violence in their community. Among parents I believe many are just scrambling to make sure it's not 'their son'. Many of them find themselves in a Catch 22.
They've worked their whole lives to not be a statistic, so for them to have to have a conversation with their children because of their racial identity disheartens them.
They realize even more now that race is a major factor in America--especially for young men of color.
Christy: My son's school did not mention Trayvon's death to the children. There were no discussions or changes. He goes to a predominantly white school, and there were no events, letters, discussions or forums involving students or parents that suggested the school was aware of the tragedy, the outrage or the national attention. Among my friends, we had discussions. Most of them were about the pain the mother must feel. Many of my friends have sons, but sadly, the stress of keeping them safe is just something that we live with everyday. We're always worried about what our boys might face when they aren't with us.
Trayvon's death was the latest and most heavily publicized tragedy involving a young black male last year, but it wasn't the only tragedy that got our attention.
Some of my friends and I talked about the challenges driving will present for our sons in a few years. And while a walk to the store was tragic, a quick drive to the store could end the same way.
Josie: Trayvon's murder surprised many who believed the election of Barack Obama as president meant that we had moved beyond race as a nation. Many community activists, parents and educators try to arm young boys and girls with information on how they should respond in situations like the one Trayvon faced, but really how can you teach a child not to be killed?
When you look back at what you wrote last year, how do you feel?
Fran: A year later and I'm still angry/sad/disappointed to what happened to Trayvon Martin. Unfortunately there have been more Trayvons with the killing of Jordan Davis or if you count the violence in places like Chicago. I feel like we are losing a whole generation of young black men and society just stands and looks because no one knows what to do.
It's centuries of inequities and social misguidance that has led us to a point where young men of color are killed (or hurt) because of their color.
So I teach my son to walk with his head up, his chest out and aware of his surroundings. He's a target due to nothing he's ever done.
Josie: I couldn't read the piece I wrote on Trayvon and mothering for a long time. It was difficult to admit my apprehensions about having a son and how little progress has been made to protect the lives of Black children, but I've realized that living in fear fails us and what the Divine has planned for our lives. I'm hopeful for a better world, and in the words of Arundhati Roy, that "another world is not only possible, she is on her way."
Nick: When I read the piece I wrote, I am struck by Trayvon's youthful innocence, how he was just a boy getting candy from the store, like any 17-year-old boy would be doing, when his life was taken. His day up to that point just seems so commonplace, so unremarkable. How could somebody see this kid as a threat?
Christy: Reading my article makes my heart heavy.
I'm saddened that the conversations my great-grandmother had with her four sons in the early 1900s, are the same ones I'm having with her great-great-grandson in the 21st century.
In the last year, my son's grown almost 5 inches. He's only 13 and he's nearly 5'10.'' His stature makes him look older than he is. I feel very much the same as I did last year, burdened with the same struggle to find the right balance between building confidence and courage, but tempered with enough discipline and the appropriate disposition to make him seem non-threatening. About a month ago, a man shot and killed a 20-something. The young man's GPS led him to the wrong house. The homeowner thought the unfamiliar car in the driveway was "threatening." He killed the young driver. A year later, fear and suspicion still kill young people. I can't help but feel saddened by that. Some of the comments in the article that I wrote focused on black on black crime. The people who posted them felt that I should worry more about a black person gunning down my son.
As a former crime reporter, I certainly know that most people are killed by someone of their own race, often by someone in their community.
The events of the last year just reinforce that tragedy can happen anywhere, anytime… even if your GPS just sends you to the wrong address.

Erika Show's goal was to deliver toys to at least 50 children that would not be getting anything for Christmas. Coffee High FBLA President Timothy Tucker brought the toy drive to our attention because Erika Show had not yet reached her goal. FBLA members knew that this would be a great community service project and jumped right in by starting to plan on how we could help Erika reach her goal. FBLA members decided that to buy toys for both boys and girls between the ages of 1-10 would be a great way to help. The members decided on how much to spend per gender and then set a date. After the FBLA Christmas party with CHS FBLA, CMS FBLA, GWCFC FBLA, and CMS FCCLA we set out to buy a variety of toys. The CHS FBLA members set out for Wal-Mart and bought present which were later delivered by Timothy Tucker and his mother to Erika Show. The members absolutely loved shopping for toys know that everything was going to a good cause within our community.

In addition, 59 percent of CPOs surveyed said they do not feel they have sufficient access to the resources required to execute their function.
"Today's chief procurement officer must look beyond purchasing decisions and supplier relationship management, focusing more on bottom-line growth, given that a company's procurement execution is fundamental to financial success," said Paul Mandell, founder and CEO of Consero. "With a majority of CPOs reporting they are under-resourced and focusing on short-term cost reduction rather than long-term growth, CPOs will need to continue pushing for necessary resources from top management in 2014."
Other findings included:
• Talent Gap: A majority (59 percent) of CPOs do not see a sufficient talent pool to support their organization's hiring needs.
• Lack of Global Risk Management Policies: A majority (53 percent) report not having a global risk management policy in place.
• Sustainability Programs Not Yielding Tangible Cost Reductions: Most (67 percent) say they have not achieved tangible cost reductions through the use of a sustainability program.
The 2014 Procurement & Strategic Sourcing Data Survey included 14 questions that were posed to all Fortune 100 CPOs in attendance at Consero's invitation-only Procurement & Strategic Sourcing Forum in February 2014. A total of 49 responses were provided.

Unincorporated Business Entities
Select a format
Product details
To purchase a printed version of this title, please visit www.caplaw.com.
Unincorporated business associations are a distinct and increasingly important area of modern business law practice. Indeed, many lawyers are more likely to be working with unincorporated business entities than with corporations. This Fifth Edition of Unincorporated Business Entities has been re-organized on a comparative basis (rather than a form-centered basis) since that is how practitioners confront the topic from a business planning and transactional standpoint. One of the benefits of this approach is to remedy a long-standing problem in teaching about LLCs. The law surrounding this relatively new form of organization is still developing rapidly, particularly regarding the fiduciary duties of members and managers. The form-centered approach tended to mean that LLCs, despite now being the predominant form of business organization in the United States, were the last subject covered in the typical semester-long course, and therefore often got short shrift.
Despite the re-organization, the Fifth Edition carries on the goals of its predecessors: (1) to provide the basis for a course that teaches the kind of business law the overwhelming majority of lawyers are likely to practice; (2) to teach issues in current legal doctrine and not to be overly concerned with historical and arcane rules; and (3) to teach the law in a business planning context, demonstrating the interaction between default rules and the art of business lawyering. This edition still includes the Problems. Chapter 1 introduces five stories that carry on in realistic problems distributed throughout the overview of the basic forms and the subsequent in-depth comparative review of legal issues of management, financial rights, limited and vicarious liability, transfer of interests, fiduciary obligations, and endgames.
The text also includes a "Chameleon Agreement" in the Appendix which provides the basics of a partnership or operating agreement. (It is a chameleon because it refers to the parties as "Memners," i.e., either partners in a partnership or members in a limited liability company.) The Appendix also contains the partnership, limited partnership, and limited liability company statutes you will need for purposes of the book.
Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.
This book also is available in a heavily discounted, three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.

LED audit California
Summary: LED lights have several benefits and advantages and each of them varies place to place. In order to know about the LED audit California in details, read through the article below.
LED, another name of energy consumption has lot to do with saving our earth as well. This is such a form of lighting that helps you live longer and saves the earth to go green. Apart from being an energy savor, it is a wonderful energy efficient light as well. Both CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lights) and LED (Light emitting diode) bulbs are considered to be today's revolutionized energy-efficient lighting. When CFLs are miniature versions of the full-sized fluorescents, LEDs are very efficient small solid bulbs. The new light emitting diodes are grouped in clusters with the diffuser lenses In order to broaden the applications of LED lights. With time, the LED technology is rapidly advancing with new styles and technicalities. Not only in your own city but usage of such lights are rising rapidly in California as well. If you check out the LED audit California, you will find that both residential and commercial places have been widely using such lights. Not only they are saving their electricity bills but saving the environment from harmful gases.
If you compare the cost of the light emitting diodes with that of the CFLs, you will find that the former ones are pretty expensive as they last for longer periods. You can expect the LED lights to sustain for almost 50,000 hours and sometimes even more than that. LED audit California information says that the rates of the bulbs are going down every year with continuous improvement of the manufacturing technology. Such energy efficient lights when first manufactured had very limited versions and were limited to just single-bulb use. The single-bulb LEDs were mainly used in electronics, panels and pen lights. Today, you will find them being used in the strings of both outdoor and indoor Christmas lights.
With rapid advancement of technology, manufacturers have gradually expanded the implementation of applications into the light emitting diodes. Initially the first clustered LED lighting was used for the battery powered products like headlamps and flashlights. Over 180 bulbs are being used to make a cluster and then covered in diffuser lenses thereby helping to spread the radiance in wider beams. The LED audit California says that light emitting diodes are believed to be the next generation bulbs. LED lights throw its luminosity in a particular direction whereas you will find that the incandescent bulbs spread illumination more spherically.
The widespread use of such lights was blocked as the production cost was quite expensive. As per the LED audit California information, using a little affordable silicon wafers managed to replace the costly sapphire-based technology. In fact, this has promised the buyers to get the LED lights at competitive rates almost close to the incandescent and CFLs price range. The light emitting diodes will very soon become the best among the other standard lights in the market. No matter what, this type of lighting product will fulfill all your needs and requirements.

Jardin des Tuileries. It never ceases to make me feel happy + carefree.
There are not enough words to thank everyone who reached out to me yesterday. The comments and the emails were incredible...like a shower of glitter on a day that desperately needed some sparkle. After several rounds of paperwork and twenty minutes of answering the basics, I was referred to a marriage + family counselor who also specializes in eating disorders, which is likely where some of my anxiety and depression stems. (In a big way. I believe I "yessed" every eating disorder-related question. I never realized it was so bad.)
Once I left the on-campus counseling center, I laid in the grass and indulged in a 45 minute daydream. It was the most amazing I've felt in weeks. My thoughts didn't race. My heart didn't pound. I didn't think about food. Or my pants size. In simply seeking help, I feel I've found a bit of peace. Although there's tough work to do ahead, knowing that I don't walk alone has given me hope.
If you emailed me with questions or advice, I so appreciate it and will be getting back to you this weekend! I'm a bit emotionally zapped today, so I'm planning to step away from the computer and just enjoy life.
Funny sidenote: Yesterday morning, on my way to my counseling appointment my car overheated. Yeah, funny. On my way to my ANXIETY counseling...my car stopped working. High five, life! :)

Read our disclosure. Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle ©Sean MacEntee Soon Disney theme parks will allow employees to wear goatees or beards–putting an end to a rule banning facial hair that dates back to the founding of Disneyland in 1955. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts announced the changes to the guidelines known as the "Disney Look" in a memo sent out on Monday. The changes will go into effect on Feb. 3rd. The memo states that any facial hair must be "neatly groomed and well-maintained at no longer than a quarter of an inch in length." And that facial hair can only be worn by employees as long as they "create an overall neat, polished and professional look." Walt Disney Parks and Resorts last updated its "Disney Look" two years ago when it overturned a rule requiring female employees to wear pantyhose under their skirts. Read more at MSNBC One Response Heather Bond January 25 I worked at DisneyWorld in college and I'm impressed how long it took to relax the rules–wearing pantyhose in 106 degree heat? No thanks.

iOS dev's sales test shows value in iPad/iPhone universal apps
iOS developer Kevin Ng has released results from an experiment he conducted with his app Kick Flick 2010. Early last month, Ng released a free update to the iPhone and iPod touch version of his app adding support for both the iPad and the iPhone 4 Retina Display, bundling this into a single $1 application rather than following the approach of other game developers in releasing a separate premium "HD" version of the game. In reviewing the past month of sales results, Ng believes that the figures make a "compelling argument" for iPhone developers to include iPad support for free in existing apps rather than charging customers twice for the same product.
Ng constructed a graph of sales starting with its initial release in July, noting that additional purchases following the update almost matched the launch spike. Two weeks after its initial launch, Apple chose to feature the game in the iPad section of the App Store, leading to an even larger surge. Ng believes that providing support for both iPhone and iPad in the same, inexpensive app resulted in the application getting better exposure by being noticed and featured by Apple and by hitting top application charts in both the iPhone and iPad sections of the App Store. Ng notes that since the iPad and iPhone versions are the same product in the App Store, sales on either platform contribute toward the sales rankings in both sections. From this experience, Ng concludes that it makes sense for developers to add iPad support to their existing apps rather than charging extra and feels that this situation is "Win-win for the developer and the customer."

As someone who owned an iPod touch before picking up my iPad, I can say that developers who make universal apps are high on my must-purchase-from list. I wince every time I see an "HD" appended to an app that cost 99 cents for the iPhone version and $9.99 for the iPad version. Intensely annoying, especially since I intend to buy one of the new model iPod touches and really don't feel like owning two versions of the same program.
Its like saying that, if I want to run the PC version of Plants vs Zombies on a netbook I pay $9, but I'd have to buy a special "Windows 7" version of the game to play on my desktop machine and pay $10 more. Just silly. (Note: Popcap Games does NOT do this, this is a made-up example. ;) )

And as I make this comment, I do realize that Popcap DID do this with the iPhone and iPad versions,but the price difference for PvZ is not massive compared to other apps. And also, I can live without the iPod touch version what with having it on my iPad and the desktop version purchased via Steam…

The other thing, which this data doesn't address, is the value people put in iPad only versions.
We have a touch and an iPad in our household. I find the genius of the app store is it works more or less the same way protected music used to work. We buy the app once and then me and my wife (and, eventually, my daughter) can have it on their iOS device of choice.
Even without the majority of touch/iPhone apps updated for the retina display, they still look perfectly acceptable on the iPad. And, as more and more are updated for retina display, that difference is going to all but vanish. As a result, we pass on the iPad only editions when there are two versions out there and just buy the cheaper touch/iPhone version.
So-called universal versions seem the best solution for everyone, including the devs. It gives them a reason to *modestly* raise the price over what the iPhone/touch app ecosystem has forced them to price apps at while avoiding the issue of users staying away from the questionable value of iPad only versions of apps that obviously aren't different enough.

I own just an iPhone 4. Ultimately, I'm sure I'll be buying an iPad. So when I buy apps I love when I find a "Universal version". I hate the idea of having two app libraries and it just makes sense for me to think ahead. My point is, I don't even own an iPad and I'm already leaning toward universal apps. Keep it up Devs.

I got laid off from my job in the first quarter of 2011. After a year and a half of searching and no sign of being able to get a similar position in my career field, I decided to risk, invest, and head out on my own.
I create MANY items that range from magnets to mousepads to photography panels to cell phone covers to koozies to puzzles to well... many products. There is literally too many to list here - hundreds. If you're looking for that one perfect personalized gift, we can most likely make it for you. Just ask.
It is so fun to be able to create so many items that you can find in stores (and many not) and being able to personalize and create our own (or a customer's) designs on a gift and make a huge impression. There is such a huge difference on creating something that is unique, made specifically for our customers, compared to a mass produced product that many people have to settle for in the stores that relates to a general group of people. Main ingredient: Personalization - and we have plenty of it.
The shop is small right now but I plan on adding tons more when I have time to take pictures, write descriptions and price point it all. I don't want to just stick with one product or niche. I want to be able to offer my customers everything I have available.
We have a website coming to serve you even better and it will have a lot of stuff that our Zibbet shop won't have. So add us to your Zibbet Favorites, Facebook and Twitter (and now instagram), so you're up-to-date on what we have in store.
A lot of our products are purchased as gifts and we are honored to be a part of your special occasion. We want you to be proud of the gift you give and we take great pride and care in our workmanship to ensure a quality product every time. If a product is slightly off, we put it in the scrap pile because our goal is perfection, every time. And since we have gotten heat from many who love collecting error pieces or don't mind a slightly off product, we decided to sell them in our Oops section for a fraction of the cost.

Arduino From Vim
Arduino is awesome, but using their IDE is uncomfortable for people that would prefer vim or emacs. There is an option in the IDE to allow you to use an external editor, but you still need to use the GUI to get access to the compile & upload tools. Here's my setup, for a vim-only setup (would be similar for emacs). Continue reading Arduino From Vim

Braintree 10% Time: LED Strip
At Braintree, the developers get every other Friday to work on non-work-related projects of their choosing. Collaboration is encouraged, but even if you end up working on something alone, it's a great way to spread your excitement about whatever interests you at the moment (and it's a nice perk to the job).
This week, my project was to get some LED strips unboxed and working. The strips are flexible circuit boards, with full-color LEDs dotting one side. Each "LED" is actually three LEDs clustered together (one red, one green, one blue), and with 21 control bits, they can display more colors than the human eye can distinguish. I bought a variety of strips, with different features, and I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with them, but step 1 is to learn how to use them. Continue reading Braintree 10% Time: LED Strip

Power Hungry
I finished my first significant electronics project in a while: Power Hungry. The idea is that I use sensors to monitor the actual voltage & amperage usage of various devices in my apartment, and I wirelessly transmit that to a base station, which calculates various statistics. The results are then beamed to my linode server, where I have some graphs of the data. The ultimate goal is to use this data to reduce my overall energy usage, but for now I'm just working on establishing a baseline, so I can best judge the effectiveness of whatever changes I make. The results so far, though, are fairly interesting. Continue reading Power Hungry
Poor Man's LCD Touchscreen Breakout Board
I recently picked up a graphic LCD display and a clear touchscreen panel for a project I'm starting. They're a lot of fun (and pretty cheap), but there are a lot of wires needed to get it hooked up, which means it's somewhat fragile to move around.
If (like me) you like to move around when you code (couch/coffeeshop/bed/etc), then you'll want to build a breakout board for your setup. Continue reading Poor Man's LCD Touchscreen Breakout Board

London—Publishing and conference group Informa said Thursday that it has received a takeover bid from rival Springer Science & Business Media.
Springer Science, the world's second-largest specialist publishing group in the science, technology and medicine markets, is owned by private equity groups Cinven and Candover.
Informa, which is publicly owned, produces more than 10,000 events a year and has more than 2,000 subscription-based information services, including academic journals and business databases. A merger would create a b-to-b media company reportedly worth about $5 billion.

About this creation
===Krayt's Fist===
{{Quote|Still, I ''smell'' Jedi. Target the Temple, Captain Meeshal. Level it. Burn it.|Darth Stryfe ordering the destruction of the Jedi Temple on Ossus|Star Wars Legacy 17: Claws of the Dragon, Part 4}}
The [[Sexes|male]] [[Human]]
[[Sith Lord]] known as [[Darth]] Stryfe was a member of the [[One Sith]], serving [[Dark Lord of the Sith]] [[Darth Krayt]] and his [[Darth Krayt's Sith Empire|Galactic Empire]], after Krayt [[Attack on Emperor Fel|deposed]] [[Galactic Emperor|Emperor]] [[Roan Fel]] at the end of the [[Sith-Imperial War]]. In the [[time]] of the ensuing conflict, the [[Second Imperial Civil War]], he was selected to be Krayt's [[Fist]], the head of the Empire's military, a position that was once held by [[Darth Nihl]] before his promotion to a [[Hand (One Sith)|Hand]].
''[[Star Wars Legacy 0˝]]
[[File:LegacyMeesh01.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Darth Stryfe alongside Captain Meeshal on a ''Pellaeon''-class Star Destroyer above Ossus.]]
In [[137 ABY]], Stryfe, aboard an Imperial [[Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer|''Pellaeon''-class Star Destroyer]], personally oversaw and led the Imperial search for [[Jedi]] on the [[planet]] [[Ossus]]. Rumors had spread that surviving Jedi were hiding in the [[Jedi Academy (Ossus)|Jedi Academy]] on Ossus, and the Sith were determined to eradicate all Jedi. Stryfe sent [[Joker Squad]] of the [[407th Stormtrooper Division]] to conduct a search of the surface, and the [[stormtrooper]]s of the unit were terrified of failure, fearing punishment from Stryfe. The Jokers looked around Ossus keenly, but found nothing; the [[Yuuzhan Vong]]—there to protect [[Jedi artifact]]s—and the Jedi present at the Academy had gone into hiding. As the Imperials were about to call off the search, Darth Stryfe commanded them to continue, as he could [[Force Sense|sense]] a whisper in [[the Force]] that suggested the presence of Jedi.
Ordered by Stryfe to continue looking for the Jedi, [[Sergeant]] [[Harkas]], [[Anson Trask]], and [[Private]] [[Orland]], as well as one more stormtrooper, continued the search amongst the remains of the Jedi Academy. Trask and a fellow stormtrooper reported that the Temple was empty after the [[Jedi Knight]] [[Shado Vao]] used the Force to [[Mind trick|persuade]] them. However, Lord Stryfe ordered [[Imperial Navy]] [[Captain]] [[Meeshal]] to [[Destruction of Ossus Jedi Academy|destroy]] the Temple, as he still felt the presence of the Jedi hiding on the planet. The Imperials proceeded to fire on the Academy,
''[[Star Wars Legacy 17: Claws of the Dragon, Part 4]]''
and succeeded in injuring [[Jedi Master]] [[K'Kruhk]], who had been hiding within the Temple. Nevertheless, the Jedi were able to survive the attack, and unbeknownst to Stryfe, they eventually escaped to their secret refuge, the [[Hidden Temple]], which had been ordered into creation by the [[Jedi High Council (New Jedi Order)|Jedi High Council]] at the start of the Sith-Imperial War.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 25: The Hidden Temple, Part 1]]''
In that same year, Darth Krayt succeeded in capturing former Jedi [[Cade Skywalker]], a descendant of the famous [[Grand Master]] [[Luke Skywalker]], who Krayt sought for his healing ability and hoped to turn to the [[Dark side of the Force|dark side]]. After Skywalker [[Skirmish at the Temple of the Sith|escaped]] from his Hands, Darth Nihl and [[Darth Talon]], in the [[Temple of the Sith|Sith Temple]] on [[Coruscant]], Stryfe was named Krayt's new Hand to replace Nihl.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 27: Into the Core]]''
===Krayt's Hand===
{{Quote|You ''failed'' Lord Krayt once, Talon. I'm surprised he let you ''live''.''"
"''We ''all'' live or die as Lord Krayt wills, Stryfe. At his word I would cut out my own heart. Or yours.|Darth Stryfe and Darth Talon|Star Wars Legacy 30: Vector, Part 11}}
[[File:StryfeTalon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Darth Stryfe speaking to his fellow Hand, Darth Talon.]]
When Cade Skywalker set his plan to kill Darth Krayt in motion, he initiated [[Mission to Had Abbadon|an attack]] on a Sith outpost on the [[Deep Core]] world of [[Had Abbadon]], which was under the command of the [[Devaronian]] Sith Lord [[Darth Reave]]. Reave managed to escape, and brought the news to Krayt on Coruscant. During the attack, Reave had been bitten by a [[rakghoul]]—an ancient and thought-to-be extinct form of [[Sithspawn]]—while fighting Skywalker and his companions,
''[[Star Wars Legacy 29: Vector, Part 10]]''
and before he could complete his report, he succumbed to the [[Rakghoul Plague|effects]] of the bite. Transformed into one of the rakghoul mutants, Reave charged to attack Darth Krayt. However, he never reached Krayt, as Darth Stryfe intercepted the former Sith and proceeded to [[Sai cha|behead]] the creature. The head of [[Sith Intelligence and Assassination]] and Sith [[scientist]], [[Darth Maladi]], confirmed that the transformation was the result of ancient [[Sith Alchemy]].
''[[Star Wars Legacy 30: Vector, Part 11]]''
Not long after, Lord Krayt was contacted via [[hologram]] by the [[Force ghost|spirit]] of [[Karness Muur]], an ancient Sith Lord who was controlling the [[Galactic Republic|Old Republic]] Jedi [[Celeste Morne]] through the power of the [[Muur Talisman]], an ancient [[Sith artifact]]. Muur informed Krayt that he was in control of Morne as well as the rakghouls, and proposed a meeting between the two Sith Lords. As an incentive, Muur offered Krayt his knowledge of dark side [[Force Healing|healing]], as a method of aiding Krayt with his afflictions resulting from Yuuzhan Vong implants. Furthermore, Muur presented a shackled Cade Skywalker as his prisoner, and threatened to kill him if Krayt did not come to Had Abbadon. Krayt ordered his Sith Lords, including Stryfe, to leave for Had Abbadon immediately.
While en route to the planet in Krayt's royal [[Starship|transport]], the ''[[Relentless (Sith Imperial ship)|Relentless]]'', Stryfe had a small confrontation with Darth Talon, stating that he was surprised she had been allowed to live after failing Lord Krayt. Talon replied that she lived by Krayt's command, and at his word she would not hesitate to take her own life or Stryfe's.
===Battle on Had Abbadon===
{{Quote|Mindless minions! Away from my Lord Krayt.|Darth Stryfe engaging the rakghouls on Had Abbadon|Star Wars Legacy 30: Vector, Part 11}}
Arriving at Had Abbadon, Darth Stryfe was one of the Sith who traveled to the planet's surface with Darth Krayt, along with Darths Talon and Maladi. Meeting with Muur, the ancient Sith Lord proposed an alliance with Krayt, offering to begin the healing process immediately as an act of good faith. As Muur began to heal Krayt, the pain caused Krayt to cry out, and Stryfe rushed to his Lord's aid. However, Stryfe was called off by Krayt, who could feel that the healing was working. It was at this point that Cade Skywalker took advantage of the commotion and unveiled his [[Battle on Had Abbadon|trap]], calling on his companions—who had been hidden up until this point—to attack the gathered Sith. Furthermore, Morne also regained mastery over Muur, and therefore control of herself, as well as the Muur Talisman which controlled the rakghouls. She engaged Darth Krayt, and ordered the rakghouls to attack him. Darth Stryfe defended his [[Sith Master|master]] from the rakghouls, cutting through hordes of the creatures as they charged, until Krayt was able to repel the creatures with a torrent of [[Force lightning]].
Stryfe then [[Lightsaber duel|dueled]] with Skywalker, who taunted the Sith Lord while they exchanged blows until Stryfe became enraged. Calling for his companion, [[Jariah Syn]], to create an explosion, Skywalker landed a Force-assisted kick which drove Stryfe back to where Syn had placed the explosives. Darth Stryfe was severely injured in the blast and could not continue in the battle.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 31: Vector, Part 12]]''
[[File:Sai SWLEG31.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Stryfe dueling Cade Skywalker.]]
The battle continued as Krayt dueled with Morne and the spirit of Muur within her. One of Skywalker's allies, [[Imperial Knight]] [[Azlyn Rae]], was able to launch an attack on Krayt while he was distracted, and drove her lightsaber through the Sith Lord's back. This gave Morne an opening, which she quickly took, unleashing a torrent of Force lightning on Krayt before [[Telekinesis|Force-pushing]] him off a cliff. With the battle over, Krayt's most trusted advisor, [[Darth Wyyrlok (III)|Darth Wyyrlok]], arrived on the planet and recovered Darth Stryfe, as well as Darths Talon and Maladi, who had also been wounded in the encounter. Wyyrlok ordered the three Sith to be placed in [[bacta]] [[Bacta tank|tanks]] to heal their injuries while he proceeded to locate the body of Darth Krayt. Unbeknownst to Stryfe, Wyyrlok discovered that Krayt had survived the battle; however, Wyyrlok decided that Krayt had to die in order for his vision of the Sith ruling [[the galaxy]] as one to survive. Wyyrlok killed the Dark Lord with a burst of Force lightning, and brought his body aboard the same ship in which Stryfe was recovering; Wyrrlok intended to inter Krayt's bones among the ancient Sith on the Sith [[homeworld]] of [[Korriban]].
===A new leader===
{{Quote|I cannot feel the Dark Lord in my mind anymore—and Krayt is ''always'' present in my mind!|Lord Stryfe|Star Wars Legacy 34: Storms, Part 1}}
Taken to the [[Sith Temple (Korriban)|Sith Temple]] on Korriban, Stryfe was once again placed within a bacta tank in the Temple's [[Healing Chambers]], under the watchful eye of a [[Koorivar]] [[Unidentified Koorivar Sith acolyte|acolyte]]. Stryfe awoke to discover he could no longer feel his Lord Krayt in his mind, and was convinced that his master was dead. Breaking free of his tank, Stryfe demanded to know the location of Krayt from the acolyte, who quickly pointed him in the direction of the [[Stasis Room]]. Rushing to the Stasis Room, Stryfe found the entry blocked by a young female [[Chagrian]] [[Sith apprentice]]. Stryfe demanded to see Darth Krayt, but the Chagrian refused, stating that Krayt was in [[stasis]] and could not be awakened. Convinced Krayt was dead, Stryfe attacked the Sith apprentice, certain that she would not be able to stop him. After a brief fight, however, the Chagrian managed to subdue him using the Force.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 34: Storms, Part 1]]''
[[File:WyyrlokIV Stryfe.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Saarai engaging Stryfe.]]
Having finished preparing Krayt's stasis chamber, Darth Wyyrlok appeared and stopped the fight, revealing the young Chagrian to be his daughter, [[Saarai (Chagrian)|Saarai]]. Leading Stryfe down to the chamber, Darth Wyyrlok explained that Krayt had been severely injured at Had Abaddon and needed to be kept in stasis to heal. Wyyrlok told Stryfe that the reason he was unable to feel his master was due to shields Wyyrlok had erected to protect the Dark Lord. Planning to take control of the Empire, Wyyrlok explained that he would again be assuming the duties that all [[Darth Wyyrlok (disambiguation)|Wyyrlok]] had held while Krayt was in stasis—as the [[voice]] of Lord Krayt and the [[regent]] of the Order—but this time he would also secure the Imperial throne on Coruscant. Aware of the many ambitious beings within the Order, Wyyrlok told Stryfe that he would depend upon the Hand's loyalty and strength to maintain control. Believing Wyyrlok's deception, Stryfe swore he would give his support to the Chagrian Sith Lord. Together, the two left for Coruscant to secure the throne and implement the next stage in Krayt's plan for a unified [[The galaxy|galaxy]].
Wyyrlok and Stryfe arrived on Coruscant, joined by Talon, Nihl, and Maladi, where they were greeted by scores of Imperial stormtroopers and [[Imperial officer|officers]]. The arrival of the Sith was watched by [[Moff]]s [[Nyna Calixte]] and [[Morlish Veed]], who had been informed that the mission to Had Abbadon had been a failure, and that Krayt was being held in healing stasis. The two Moffs, however, suspected something else was going on, and planned to find out what the Sith were hiding.

text: Hi, I have been using the router for a couple of months now. I had no idea that the IP was based on first come first serve basis so when i got an error with ip conflict in my desktop, it turned out to be that desktop and the laptop were trying to use the same ip... never happned that b4. Later it turned out that i need to update my port forwardings for the bittorrent clients these 2 comp uses. I talked to tech support and they told me to use static ip but since it have dsl and sometimes router needs resetting, i woud need to update DNS # everytiem in the computer. So the tech suggested that i use port triggering and that doesn't need an ip address, it will forward all the ports listed no matter which ip it is coming from (my desktop or the wireless laptop). but when i tried using the port triggering, it doesn't forward the ports. I used Azureus and uTorrent's port checking feature to confirm that ports were not being forwarded. Tech told me that they would send me another router since reflasihng it didn't work. But i would post likely have to pay for shipping. So i wanna keep the router if i can get the problem fixed. Any idea why port triggering isnt' working?

Uncle Sam's U-turn: Shafaqna Exclusive
SHAFAQNA –9/11 was the watershed movement in the history of South Asia; it not only changed security dynamics of the region but also created a strategic vacuum. US and NATO fought 13 years against the Afghan terrorists. During this war on terror hundreds of thousands people were killed and this region witnessed a constant instability. For more than 13 years, people around the globe almost took it for granted that the Taliban is a terrorist group that shares many similarities with al Qaeda. The White House spokesman also denied that the Taliban are a terrorist group. What does the US want in Afghanistan? The answer is murky. Now, the real concept of 'good' and 'bad' Taliban has also become limpid; on January 23, 2015, the US declared Pakistani Taliban leader Mullah Fazlullah a global terrorist and Mullah Omer a mujahid. If we focus on the contradictory statement of the White House Secretary, we find a clear picture: "They (the Taliban) do carry out operations that are akin to terrorism. They do pursue terror attacks in an effort to try to advance their agenda. The Taliban is very dangerous and we have expended significant sums of money. US service members have given their lives fighting the Taliban because they do pose a threat to US interests and to US service members inside of Afghanistan," the White House press secretary, Josh Earnest, said.
The recent statement of White House makes it clear that US has left Afghanistan in a shamble as it did with Pakistan in 1989. In Geneva Convention Pakistan was not even part of that convention and US just negotiated with Russia pursuing its own interests. This statement has unmasked the real face of the US that for its own interests it can damage and destroy any country. Now the US is playing same game in Syria and Iraq by patronizing IS. Thus it is very clear that US itself creates and in the name of war on terror occupies the countries.
