On my first read of the series, I hated the first sequel. On the second reading of the series, it wasn't so bad as you have a lot more context for what the story is setting up. It's not bad, but it's definitely the weak point of the series.

I think the biggest weakness the series has - as a collective work - is that, apart from everything being in the same post-apocalyptic setting, it doesn't really settle on a single genre, and frequently changes gears between major story arcs. While that's fine for someone who enjoys a wide variety of genres, it does make me wonder exactly who the target audience was supposed to be.

Fortunately, I like the characters themselves - Cloudy Skies being my favorite - and characterization is the strongest part of the firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-52654330081432983152017-08-09T21:06:57.068-05:002017-08-09T21:06:57.068-05:00Really glad to see you tackle this one, as I recen...Really glad to see you tackle this one, as I recently read the whole series alone *twice*, and am now re-reading through it a third time with my wife.

Two things that I think your spoilered section misses out on:

First: You seem to have missed the framing of the chapters where the reveal happens. Those three chapters are no longer in the form of journal entries, but rather through memory crystals that were designed to let a theoretical reader experience Alex's journey directly - including his internal thoughts. And the story is presented as if you are experiencing those memory crystals directly (just as it previously was treated as if you were listening to the audio recordings with the HPI instead of reading a transcript). Since the big reveal is such a critical part of Alex's experience, it makes perfect sense that it would be impossible for Alex to cover it up within the memory crystal - it's a fundamental part of his existence. That his thoughts about it are triggered by an innocent question actually makes perfect sense.

Secondly, if you read the story a second time, you can see that Alex actually DOES constantly drop hints about that reveal long before the fact, but they're phrased in ways that deliberately have multiple interpretations. While it is very clear that Starscribe is intentionally screwing with the readers, it also strongly supports the idea that it's something Alex just really doesn't want to think about. I personally find it a bit of brilliance, as Alex KNOWS the reveal, and with that knowledge he has no reason to write the fact directly, but can still write about things with knowledge of the fact without breaking character. Those sections stick out brightly on a re-read, but are completely disguised on the first read. It's one of the most brilliant parts of the writing, in my opinion.

Incidentally, having knowledge of what is hiding behind Alex's words changed my outlook on Moriah on my second reading. It completely twists the context of her altercation with Alex in email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-32955995443651721652017-08-09T16:01:27.487-05:002017-08-09T16:01:27.487-05:00Pretty good description of the story, and a fair e...Pretty good description of the story, and a fair evaluation, but for some reason it registered as a high three with me. That's weird because it has a bunch of flaws that usually drive me nuts, and I'm not the biggest fan of post-appoc fics, either.

I'm now reading the second sequel, and I have to say that the writing has improved drastically, as well as the "focus." (The first sequel jumped around like a flea on speed.)

I'm at that point in life where enjoyment trumps just about everything else, and by that standard (for whatever reasons) I'm still engaged with the series.iisawhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-28092185582408966382017-08-09T15:55:21.476-05:002017-08-09T15:55:21.476-05:00AFAIK, "preppy" was a pejorative term us...AFAIK, "preppy" was a pejorative term used by working-class kids to describe upper class kids taking advanced "college preparatory" classes.iisawhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-632701744079370132017-08-09T11:46:09.128-05:002017-08-09T11:46:09.128-05:00Okay, and I get that I'm alone on this, but it...Okay, and I get that I'm alone on this, but it seems like a super weird mutually agreed upon fantasy for everyone to indulge, if the books/movies/shows aren't going to actually explore it but just leave it totally unaddressed in the corner instead.Chrishttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-33791951028456764112017-08-09T11:43:37.666-05:002017-08-09T11:43:37.666-05:00The only thing "preppy" has ever meant t...The only thing "preppy" has ever meant to me is someone who wears an abundance of LL Bean and Ralph Lauren.

If they remade it and set it in the modern day, wouldn't it be weird if nobody noticed that the terrorists were literally acting out the plot of Die Hard? I mean, news reporters already bend over backwards to connect terror plots to similar books or movies; wouldn't your credulity be strained if not a single person mentioned Die Hard in that scenario?

Granted, the alternate "it's an AU where the original Die Hard franchise never existed" would be much more palatable in this case, since (as far as I know) those movies didn't have nearly the cultural, technological, and economic impact of the Godzilla franchise, but it'd still seem odd to me.

(And the other Godzilla movies definitely aren't meant to be outside of one anothers' continuities--unless you're talking about the abominable early 2000s(?) remake, which was awful for a whole host of reasons unrelated to its AU setup)Chrishttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-20935329322694313002017-08-06T12:55:32.504-05:002017-08-06T12:55:32.504-05:00I don't think there's a lot of overlap bet...I don't think there's a lot of overlap between preppers and preppies, honestly.

I mean, I know what you're saying in the abstract - a world without Godzilla movies will be different in some ways - but surely this is one of those basic things that we accept about all fiction? The Die Hard movies don't exist in the world of Die Hard either. And actually, come to think of it, every previous Godzilla movie also exists in an alternate universe where Godzilla wasn't a thing.

In fact, I'd argue that having a movie exist within its own universe, unless as a one-off comedic reference, is normally a really bad move, because then it almost necessitates a change of genre. If Godzilla movies had already been a thing in Godzilla 2014, it wouldn't have been about Godzilla at all. It would've been about "HOLY SHIT, FICTIONAL CHARACTERS ARE COMING TO LIFE. HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN WORK?" And all the characters would be asking questions about the nature of fiction and reality, and questioning their own reality, and it'd be really meta and a completely different movie. Which yeah, might be interesting, but it wouldn't really be a Godzilla movie.

In movies, you have (spoiler? it's been a while) "Cabin in the Woods," and of course "The Last Starfighter."

In comics, DC Comics (and I think sometimes Marvel) exists in the Marvel Universe, and vice versa, even outside of explicitly meta-themed stories. Then with the more meta cases, you have stuff like Superboy Prime, who comes from a world without superheroes (other than himself), but with superhero comics including the DC stable and Superman, such that "Young Clark lives the first fifteen years of his life as a normal boy. However, one night, as he attends a Halloween costume party dressed as Superboy, the passage of Halley's Comet overhead triggers his Kryptonian powers." (My god, it's like Displaced. 0_0 )

Then of course you have stuff like "Left Behind,"* where of course people who believed in and wrote about the rapture existed (before it happened). Granted, it does it poorly and ignores a lot of other things, like how aliens would be a perfectly reasonable explanation... [just go check out the blog]

*Consider this my occasional plug of the Slacktivist, and his excellent liveblog of Left Behind, its adaptations, and its sequels.Icy Shakehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-68577868790239221842017-08-05T12:08:10.381-05:002017-08-05T12:08:10.381-05:00Aw, and here I was hoping it would be more of a re...Aw, and here I was hoping it would be more of a reversal of the situation in "The Last Human" and riper for a crossover...

(maybe this points to an even deeper AU than I imagined--it's not just MLP that's missing from this world, but all knowledge of horsefiction has been suppressed!)

Now imagine what (a possibly more extreme form of) that means for Tolkien itself: what of Shadowfax, Rohan, the Nazgul--and for that matter, profoundly altering the literary traditions that influenced him.

Notes 397: Of The Sun & Blue Bayou
Alfred Tennyson once said:
"This better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
To you whom I haven't met yet,
Everyday, I've been passing my waiting time watching the cloud goes by. But it seems the journey of finding you, my other half, takes a little bit longer than how others did. I am writing for you, this 397th notes, with a hope that this journey will end someday.
Nowadays, the weather here in Penang is a bit weird. Sometimes, it rained so heavy, as if the world gonna end soon, but sometimes, it was so hot until I am sweating from top to bottom. How about your place? I hope the weather is just fine for you. There was a time when the road leading to my working place submerged in flood and the next day, the very same road is dry, as if nothing happened in previous day.
Anyway, I hope one day, I can have an opportunity to bring you to my favourite place here in Penang. Especially during the rainy season, the place is so beautiful, as if two skies above each other and the water shines as if the sun set across the blue bayou. Perhaps, you can try to google the place called Teluk Bahang Dam? I bet you will like it, as much as I did.
I knew I am not the kind of man whom a girl can be proud of to be mention as their other half but I will try my best not to let you down one day. 397 notes, still couldn't describe how much I am wishing that you're out there waiting for me. Until the day we finally met, put in your heart the fact that there is a lot of thing that is waiting for you to discover it with me one day.
Just like the beautiful lake at the dam, I hope our love will spark and this time, it will be forever.
Yours truly,
The Half Moon Serenades

March Snow
We went to bed with the snow falling...
...we woke up to white! How pure the landscape was early this morning!
We had sooo much fun in the snow! My mom was "snowed in" with us and it was great to have her helping hands! Davis and Maisie couldn't quite walk in it so we did a lot of carrying from point A to point B. I know Davis looks unhappy in some of these but it was time for lunch and she was letting us all know about it!

Mamak time 2 - Autopsy
Mamak's analysis
White enjoys several advantages
1. He is playing with all his pieces
2. All his major pieces coordinate very well
3. Black has a serious back rank problem. The only piece that defends the back rank is his Rook on h8
4. Black's Queen and Knight are well centralized but lack of radio communication from other major pieces
The question that should come to your mind is can I deliver mate since the back rank is too weak? How do I eliminate the only defender? A very experience player can solve this puzzle very easily because the solution is very direct. You should have a little bit of fantasy in your head.
My suggestion is, draw arrows from f1 to f8 and from a1 to a8. Then you can easily see that from a3 the white's queen can simultaneously attack the a8 and f8 square. This is called a double attack in many tactical books.
Finally, you have to do a bit of calculation which in this case is pretty easy.
Play simple but not simpler ........... Luth Mikael

Moffitt Cancer Center received a $3.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the use of electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, over the next five years. The goal of the new Moffitt grant is to learn how e-cigarettes are used over time and whether users are eventually successful at quitting smoking. During the first year of the study, Moffitt researchers will be interviewing e-cigarette users to learn about their experiences and their perceptions of the pros and cons of e-cigarettes. The researchers want to interview current and former smokers who are also current or former e-cigarettes users.
According to lead investigator on the project Thomas Brandon, Ph.D, director of the Tobacco Research & Intervention Program at Moffitt, "Public health researchers are really playing catch-up with the explosion of e-cigarettes onto the marketplace." During the final four years of the study, Moffitt researchers plan to enrol 2,500 e-cigarette users throughout the United States, and follow them for 24 months by sending them surveys every three months. The research is expected to provide valuable data about the long-term use of e-cigarettes and their value for quitting smoking. Read full article

I was stopped at the Stanford University fountain working my iPhone DoList yesterday when LucyAnne Richards asked me if it would be OK for her to draw my bike. Of course I said yes and as I did my work, she did hers..
I thought nothing about it until I took a look at what she created and she told me a little about herself.
Lucy, who is in a mechanical design class, was fascinated by my bike for more than just the unique angles. She rides too. And talk about female gonzo. Lucy rode from Colorado to the Atlantic not once but twice. And one of the times was all by herself!
She even went out and got a grant so she could do more with her passion for bikes. New to the campus, she wants to interview me and learn all she can about local area bike culture so she can answer why bicycles are important in creating more sustainable and healthy communities.
Hopefully we'll see more of Lucy as we here at the National Bicycle Greenway help her get the data she needs to make her grant benefactors happy.
THX 4 all of U!!

This article was written by BlackGear. Please do not make any changes to this fiction without receiving the author's consent.
"What is evil? Evil is in the eye of the beholder. There is only the strong and the weak. Those who must live and those destined to die."
Vector is the alias of an unknown male Gandrian who supplied Kale Phoenix with targets to assassinate during his time as a hired gun in Citadel City, Gandra. Not much is known about Vector other than he knows almost everything about the city's criminal underworld and he apparently reports to 'someone higher up', but it is unknown if he actually does or if he belongs to any company or organisation at all.
Early life
Meeting Kale
As Phoenix's benefactor
Vector is a rather formal and professional individual. He displays a businessman sort of demeanour but after a while reveals his true colours as he speaks to Phoenix. He harbours this nihilistic moral standing, having no regard for who dies, even if it is not at Phoenix's hands. He sees the victims of murder as deserving of it because they were too weak to prevent it and those who commit the act as stronger and will live as a result. Vector does however, see such other acts as deplorable, such as rape or theft and that these are 'true' signs of weakness in the hearts of those who would normally appear as strong in Vector's eyes. This warped view on life and death and morals is sort of how Phoenix is drawn to most of his targets.
Vector displays this gallows humour, making snide jokes or comments or even casually eating as he sees people dying in front of him. He also does not seem to care about Phoenix's effeciency in his kills, sometimes taunting him as he is about to take someone out. Vector may be essentially Phoenix's benefactor, but he is by no means his friend. Vector is also very critical on how Phoenix is so torn between the guilt he has for some of his kills and the loyalty he has to his profession. Even people Phoenix has grown to like are of no interest to Vector, as evident when he so bluntly ordered Phoenix to kill Virgo - someone Phoenix was starting to grow attached to.
Vector appears as quite an old male Gandrian wearing a very sharp dark grey suit and a black breifcase. His eyes are yellow like all Gandrians and his canine teeth are enlraged, becoming fangs. His hair is white and slicked back. His skin is very pale and nearing to ghostly white and has faint veins appearing around his head.
- "People die all the time, Kale. In the wars, on the street. Every passing second - a life is taken. Be it by age, sickness or another's hand - it is all nature. It is their time. You are the bringer of needed death. Start acting like it."
- "Orders from up-top. I have another job for you." - Repeated line
- "Rapists... paedophiles... petty criminals... all show themselves as being less than the mere notion of what you 'regular' people consider 'evil' - they are so much lower than that!"
- "If you refuse a hit, Kale. You don't have to answer to me... you answer to my boss."
- "You like her, don't you? I know... she is such a pretty girl. But there are plenty more. We live in a very big city in a very big planet. Chances are you'd forget her within the month." - when ordering Kale to kill Virgo.
- "If I died now, it was show me as another weakling. Only the deserving live out their lives until they do finally die."
- "You disobeyed me, Kale. Now, I'm afraid we have lost this mutual trust of ours. You can either help rebuild it or this partnership is going to get a lot more volatile."
Vector displays an almost supernatural ability of not only knowing exactly where Phoenix is when he wishes to speak with him but has an uncanny way of being somewhere as if he just appeared and disappeared. Whether he can is still unexplained. Vector does not show any ability to fight or hold his own but it is possible that he is more than capable when several other hired assassins show great fear when he appears before them. Vector also has knowledge of practically every criminal, shady or seedy dealing in every part of Citadel City, from adulterers to political embezzlers. Almost like he is essentially omniscient.
- The word 'vector' has several meanings. It can mean 'a chosen course or direction of motion', which is akin to how Vector directs Phoenix to his kills. Also, it can mean 'a person who passes along an urban legend', like how Phoenix's kills create such a media frenzy. A more obscure connection is that it can also mean 'an organism that carries a parasite or disease', which in a way could be a pejorative way of describing how Vector is actually causing Phoenix to become a monster - in a way, 'infecting' him.
- Although Vector mentions them repeatedly, his 'superiors' are never seen nor does he reveal who he works for or if he works for anyone at all. It is heavily implied that he works alone or possibly has some connection with Digamma or even Xanitu.
- It is believed that Vector may not even be an actual Gandrian and could be something else entirely - though this has yet to be revealed.

Jeru The Damaja - Come Clean
Straight from Brooklyn N.Y. His first album, "The Sun Rises in the East", was released in 1994 and produced entirely by DJ Premier. (Are ya'll seeing a pattern now?) The album is a underground classic til this day. It is considerably significant in hip hop, as it contributed to the revival of the East Coast hip hop scene with the single "Come Clean" which had a lot of heads nodding to the beat.
This record is also off of "The Sun Rises in the East." This was an cool record on his perspective on those not so wonderful women, we all know at least one or two of them. I liked the vibe this track brought to the table so I wasn't surprised when one of Hip Hop's biggest superstars paid homage. I guess you can call it that and made his 2002 version...

text: carmen Posted September 12, 2012 She could have totally saved herself. All she had to do is get Shane and Ian in the HOH room and tell them about D & D and their plans. If Ian had not won that POV he was gone, she knew the plan. Same with Shane, if he had not won POV he was a goner. All she had to do was ask them who they trust now! ! ! If I am not mistaking, Ian knew about Shane and Shane knew aboutIan. Would have been awesome to out them. Oh well, bye bye Jenn.ITA and this is what I kept hoping she would do. I think she was too afraid to play hard, especially after seeing what happened to Mike and Frank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In recent days, I have been trying to stress that many of the exact same patterns that we witnessed just prior to the great stock market crash of 2008 are happening once again. This includes the staggering crash of commodity prices that we are currently witnessing, and even CNN acknowledges that there are parallels to what we experienced seven years ago…
The last time raw materials like copper and oil were this cheap, an economic depression loomed just around the corner.It's no secret that commodities in general have had a horrendous 2015. A nasty combination of overflowing supply and soft demand has wreaked havoc on the industry.But prices for everything from crude oil to industrial metals like aluminum, steel, copper, platinum, and palladium have collapsed even further in recent days.
As I mentioned above, this crash in prices is hitting mining companies really hard. Just this week, the fifth largest mining company in the entire world announced a massive restructuring and will be laying off tens of thousands of workers…"

The weekend of London's ninth birthday, I ended up catching some sort of yucky, achey, makes you feel totally miserable bug. I'm attributing it to the fact that while out shopping with my mom and sister, London picked out (and came home) with an adorable top labeled 'Tween'.
So it begins.
We had the best time though. L was beaming all weekend. What's not to love about a nine year old? She likes to shop, get her nails done and her favorite restaurant is Olive Garden. Oh, and her top birthday request was for a mermaid tail she can swim in. I'm sort of jealous. Okay, I'm really jealous. Trying to justify why I need a matching one, although we don't have a pool and I don't think it would be socially acceptable for me to wear a spandex tail in public.
Happy 9th Birthday sweet baby girl, you light up our lives!

Much of the U.S. conventional wisdom about how the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989 led to the rise of the Taliban and the creation of al-Qaeda safe havens before 2001 comes from the popular movie, "Charlie Wilson's War." But that represents a dangerous misperception.

For those of you who have reason to celebrate or be celebrated today I wish you a happy mother's day. In my work I come across many people who find this day to be difficult and sometimes painful. In all the hype they are often forgotten. The ones perhaps who did not have such a good mom. Some moms are abusive or neglectful. The ones who may have lost their mom. Or lost a child. The ones who may not be able to have a child. There are so many out there who are in situations or relationships that may be struggling. And today can be a reminder of that struggle. So it is today I honor all.
These are some ideas we are going to explore further tonight on our radio show (from 6-7 pm est). Our topic is the divine feminine and we will be offering live on-air readings to callers, too!

As in, Roger Corman Rule # 3: Movies must contain at least four sequences of the actors/actresses walking hurriedly from one point to another. When included in the final editing of the film, these can account for up to 10 valuable minutes of run time.
I almost titled this post, "My Admiration for Roger Corman is Unbounded!" I thought that might be just a bit over the top, so I compromised. Actually, I rather enjoy Corman's body of work, even though most of the films he and his family (e.g., his brother) are associated with are pretty awful. However, what I find interesting is that the awfulness of his films are different in flavor from the works of, say, Ed Wood.
Now, no one will seriously debate the point that Wood's films are not awful. In fact, they take awfulness to a new level. When viewed from a distance, I would say the awfulness of some of Corman's films like "It Conquered The World" rival the awfulness of Wood's films like "Plan 9", other than Corman had better actors involved in his films. What I find different is that Corman is and never has been under any delusions about his films. He knows that a lot of them are really bad. Wood, on the other hand, I think really believed that he was making movie magic. In an angora sweater…. (Never one to pull my punches just because it might constitute a cheap shot, especially when the recipient is deceased.) All Corman was doing was making as many films as possible with the expressed purpose of making money on each and every one of them. Sir Roger likes to brag that, sure his movies are bad, but he never lost money on any one of them.
I recently watched one of Corman's finest efforts, "Attack of the Crab Monsters". Boy. Awful does not begin to describe it. Scientists land on some remote, uninhabited atoll in the South Pacific. They immediately establish their residence in what looks very much like a Motel 6, complete with Starving Artist paintings above the bed. But the idea behind this plot is what is so fascinating. The "monsters" of this film are mutated giant crabs, who are super-intelligent but go around roaring like an alpha lion getting his tail twisted. They apparently eat the humans they catch, and then can telepathically project their victims voices to the really gullible survivors. Oh, and these crabs have stolen a bunch of dynamite and are systematically blowing up the island into little bits, such that at the end of the film, there is only a little rocky ledge remaining. Russell Johnson (a.k.a., The Professor) electrocutes the remaining monster (off-screen, as it would have been, no doubt, a prohibitively expensive process shot that would have put the entire picture over budget) by pulling down a radio transmitter antenna on the beast. Where the power came from for this monster electrocution, I don't know, since as mentioned previously, the rest of the island is under water.
So, who comes up with a plot like this? Three people sitting around on Roger's veranda, after four pitchers of martinis, go, "Wait, wait a schec! I got a better one! The crabs can read minds! Yeah! Tha's just brilliant!" Insane. Yet, he apparently made money off of this effort, and that is all he was ever intending to do. You can't fault him on that.
One indication I have about what he thinks of his films, and other films of the genre, (besides the interviews he has given) is when he hosted AMC's MonsterFest a few years back. They put together an hour long little spoof of the genre called "Roger Corman's The Phantom Eye" that was actually extremely funny, with Corman himself cast as the villain of the piece, appropriately named "Dr. Gorman".
But I do really like a number of his films, and two in particular. Both are very tongue-in-cheek. The first is the well known "Little Shop of Horrors", with Jack Nicholson just getting his start. The other is a lesser known work called "Creature from the Haunted Sea". I find this one absolutely hysterical, and would highly recommend it. As one commenter in the Internet Movie Database said of this film, "It makes 'Little Shop of Horrors' look like a major studio release."
Renzo Capetto aka Capo Rosetto aka Ratto Pazetti, aka Zeppo Staccato, aka Shirley Lamour: [narrating] "It was dusk. I could tell 'cause the sun was going down."

Joe, Gary, Jim, Charles, list, >[Joe] The requirement of collateral acquaintance with the object is simply what is implicit in the definition of the interpretant, as in the formulation of the New List, where it is said to represent the relate to be a representation of the same correlate which the interpretant itself represents, and there is no special problem involved in diagramming that. It is merely a matter of (1) having one referential arrow from the interpretant, I1, pointing to the sign, S1, as a sign, hence pointing not at the node, S1, but at an arrow running from S1 to O, and (2) having a second arrow from that interpretant running to the object, O, without being mediated through S1's reference to it. This is a matter of the internal structure of a given instance of semiosis and is essential to the process being a semeiosical process. We've covered pretty similar ground before. You're saying that the interpretant is not an interpretation but (1) an experience or observation of the sign S1 in S1's representing and corresponding to the object, and also (2) an experience or observation of the object itself. To the contrary, the interpretant is a sign which _represents_ the sign S1 in S1's representation of the object, and is a sign which separately _represents_ the object.

Effort Wanes, Devils Roll At Coliseum
Devils 3: Islanders 1
If two strong games against two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference can be counted as steps forward, last night's lethargic showing against the New Jersey Devils is a huge step back.
The Devils skated all over the Islanders, 3-1, just hours after the Isles lost yet another goaltender, Wade Dubielewicz, this time to procedural waivers. Perhaps that had a little something to do with the Isles' obvious lack of awareness on the ice, particularly in the first period; nearly every play became a turnover in favor of New Jersey, and every one-on-one battle and loose puck was won by the Devils. Yann Danis had a big hand in the first New Jersey goal at 6:06 of the first, as he completely froze behind the net while attempting to handle the puck and gave it up to Zach Parise, who eventually got it to Travis Zajac for the goal on an empty net. All of that happened on an Islanders power play, by the way, and on their second and final PP they wouldn't get much better- they allowed a breakaway by Zajac, which was thankfully and spectacularly gloved by Danis. That didn't spark the Isles, however, who spent too much time in their own zone, too much time chasing the play, and who were extremely lucky to escape the period with only a one-goal deficit.
At :57 of the second period, though, it became 2-0, as Parise cashed in on a bad rebound by Danis in front, with Nate Thompson serving two minutes for boarding. Then, at 4:58, Danis allowed one he should have had, as David Clarkson took a pass from John Madden and fired over Danis' shoulder for the go-ahead goal. Danis never even moved. A fight between Tim Jackman and Bryce Salvador galvanized the Isles into more physical action, but it ended up to be too little, too late.
Blake Comeau scored his fourth of the year in the third to at least end hopes of a shutout for Scott Clemmensen, who has been tremendous in his effort to fill in for the injured Martin Brodeur (32 saves). In that period, the Isles upped the ante and made the shot total more even (final tally 36-33 NJ), but they took way too long to get started, as Danis pointed out in the postgame interviews, and they end up with another loss (their seventh straight), while Parise, Zajac and the high-flying Devils won their third straight, and 5 of their last 6 meetings against their Tri-State Area rivals.
Notes: Bill Guerin and Doug Weight were honored at the beginning of the game, Guerin for his 400th point and Weight for reaching 1,000 points (the fourth to do so as an Islander)... Brendan Witt and Blake Comeau led the team in hits with four... Sean Bergenheim missed his second straight game with a side strain.

Burned Alive
Bruno, Galileo and the Inquisition
Distributed for Reaktion Books
In 1600, the Catholic Inquisition condemned the philosopher and cosmologist Giordano Bruno for heresy, and he was then burned alive in the Campo de' Fiori in Rome. Historians, scientists, and philosophical scholars have traditionally held that Bruno's theological beliefs led to his execution, denying any link between his study of the nature of the universe and his trial. But in Burned Alive, Alberto A. Martínez draws on new evidence to claim that Bruno's cosmological beliefs—that the stars are suns surrounded by planetary worlds like our own, and that the Earth moves because it has a soul—were indeed the primary factor in his condemnation.
Linking Bruno's trial to later confrontations between the Inquisition and Galileo in 1616 and 1633, Martínez shows how some of the same Inquisitors who judged Bruno challenged Galileo. In particular, one clergyman who authored the most critical reports used by the Inquisition to condemn Galileo in 1633 immediately thereafter wrote an unpublished manuscript in which he denounced Galileo and other followers of Copernicus for their beliefs about the universe: that many worlds exist and that the Earth moves because it has a soul. Challenging the accepted history of astronomy to reveal Bruno as a true innovator whose contributions to the science predate those of Galileo, this books shows that is was cosmology, not theology, that led Bruno to his death.

PM to hold US talks with Obama
Downing Street confirmed that the Prime Minister would be going to Washington for talks on March 3.
A spokesman said the two leaders would discuss "common global challenges" including the world financial crisis and the situation in Afghanistan.
The announcement would appear to mean that Mr Brown has won the race to become the first European leader to visit the new president in Washington.
It will come as some relief to British officials who will see it as an indication that the "special relationship" remains intact with the handover to the new administration.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy had also reportedly been jockeying for the honour amid speculation that Mr Obama would be looking more to Paris for European leadership.
Mr Brown has previously met Mr Obama when he was still a candidate for the presidency, in both Washington and London.
The No 10 spokesman said that among the items on the agenda would be the G20 summit in London on April 2 which may well mark Mr Obama's first visit to Europe as president.
The White House said in a statement that Britain and the US shared a special partnership and Mr Obama looked forward to working closely with Mr Brown to address common global challenges.
Obama is hosting another foreign leader – Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso – on Tuesday.

text: Punk rock has always been political; the problem is that most "political-punk" bands these days aren't worth their musical weight in Crass armbands. Luckily, this isn't the case with Richmond, Virginia, iconoclasts Strike Anywhere. The band's Fat Wreck Chords debut, Dead FM, teems with some of the most vital tracks to emerge this year, including memorable, melodic anthems like "The Promise" and "Prisoner Echoes." However, these palm-muted masterpieces would be the backdrop for nothing if it weren't for dreadlocked frontman Thomas Barnett, who bounces around the stage singing about foreign policy and human rights with a youthful exuberance that's inspirational for even the most jaded punker. If you've ever wondered what a Green Party rally would look like with a circle pit, here's your answer.

One of the baby things that can be a challenge to clean is the stroller. Whether it is a Bob stroller or the umbrella type, you should clean it the proper way so as not to mess up with the material that stroller is made of.
The first thing to do is find a place where you can clean your stroller. The garage can be an ideal place. Take out all baby things and toys from the pockets of the stroller. Have the stroller in its standing position, unfolded. Hand vacuum every single side, making sure every particle that can be in between will come off. If the stroller's seat is the one that comes off, then take it off. Wash the material with cold water to make sure it does not shrink. Use damp cloth for those that cannot come off. Scrub the snack tray clean. Let the stroller dry and make sure all toys are cleaned with soap and water before putting them all back to the stroller.
Your baby's stroller is now fresh and clean.

DOLPHIN BRIEFING. ``Dolphins off the Virginia Coast'' will open Saturday at the Virginia Marine Science Museum in Virginia Beach. The exhibit will explore dolphin behavior and biology and the role Virginia's coastline plays in their survival.
A ``Dial-A-Dolphin'' display will allow visitors to call up dolphin sounds and see them reproduced on a moving graph. A dolphin skeleton will illustrate the similarities these mammals have with humans, such as flipper bones that look like a human hand and vestigial hip bones that recall the ancient time when dolphins were land animals.

Getting Your Coffee Fix In A Jiffy
Now I have owned many coffeemakers in my life and I have looked at even more. The problem with most of them is that you have to wait for your coffee as it has to finish brewing before you can drink it.
The other problem is that if you have to keep it hot for quite a while you normally end up with burned coffee that tastes like vinegar. What a waste of good coffee! So, to me, that is just not good enough.
Now I am wondering if there are more people out there that feel the same about coffeemakers. Do you have a coffeemaker that you are simply not happy with?
So, if you are considering a new coffeemaker there are a few things to think about when you look for a coffeemaker. You have to make sure you get one that is suitable for your needs.
I think, a coffeemaker that is programmable is a very good idea. This way you can program you coffeemaker to have the coffee ready when you get up in the morning. It will than also be possible to have the coffee ready when you get home after a long day.
Another thing to keep in mind is the capacity of your coffeemaker. A good idea is if it can make one to twelve cups of coffee. You want to be able to make coffee just for yourself or you may want to make coffee for a crowd. So being able to make as many cups as you require is a big help.
Two of the coffeemakers I have been looking at are the Hamilton Beach Brew Station Deluxe and the Cuisinart DCC 1200 12 Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker. They are completely different, but they have very good benefits that differ from each other and will influence your choice. To be honest with you, I am leaning towards the Hamilton Beach Brew Station, but you may prefer something a little more traditional.
I think the choice of a coffeemaker is very personal. It is not only the great cup of coffee you want, but it is also how it looks in your kitchen, whether you want to be able to pour it from a jug at table and more.
So, when you are considering a coffeemaker, do your homework and get the one that is right for you.

I Remember: When Florida TE Ben Troupe cost UGA a national title shot
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Former Gators tight end Ben Troupe is being inducted into the Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame on Friday.
Troupe played for UF from 2000-03 and spent five years in the NFL, four with the Tennessee Titans. Playing the Florida-Georgia rivalry was one of the highlights of Troupe's football career.
"Being from the state of Georgia, I didn't grow up a Florida Gators fan," Troupe said. "I actually turned a game (on) one day and I saw big Erron Kinney catching a pass in the Florida-Georgia game. I said, 'Man, I'd love to be a part of that.' It's like the Super Bowl during the season.
"Take nothing away from Tennessee, Florida State and LSU, but this rivalry is special. It's recognized by the entire college football landscape. It's on a neutral site and it's always the CBS game. Now I look back and it feels like a dream."
The climax came for Troupe in 2002. UF was 5-3 and unranked in the AP poll for the first time in more than a decade, while the Bulldogs were No. 5 with their sights on a national title run.
Steve Spurrier had dominated UGA the previous 12 seasons with an 11-1 record, but now first-year coach Ron Zook was roaming the sidelines.
"We were the team picked to lose and Georgia was the heavy favorite," Troupe said, "but that was the greatest thing that could've happened to us. One thing about that game is the records don't matter and the rankings don't matter."
The Gators lost their leading receiver, Taylor Jacobs, in the first quarter to an MCL injury. But quarterback Rex Grossman, the runner-up for the 2001 Heisman Trophy, was able to adjust with Taylor out and completed a career-high 36 passes for 339 yards.
"You take away your best threat and there's not a go-to No. 2 receiver, so everybody benefited from him getting hurt," Troupe said. "Rex really spread the ball around and it got the defense off balance because they hadn't game-planned for me and (tight end) Aaron Walker."
Troupe and Walker combined for eight receptions for 111 yards and each scored a touchdown. Troupe's was the game-winner.
With Georgia leading 13-12 in the fourth quarter, Florida went on 10-play, 89-yard drive. On third-and-2 at the 10-yard line, Grossman lofted an end-zone pass to Troupe in the end zone.
"I remember Thomas Davis was right over the top of me playing safety," Troupe said. "Now he plays linebacker for the Carolina Panthers, which shows you how athletic he was in college. I was able to get a real good swim move off the line and Rex threw up a jump ball to me.
"I was happy that I came down with the pass, but I was also happy to get a break. I was so tired on that drive."
Grossman converted the two-point attempt and the Gators held on for a 20-13 upset. Troupe said his TD catch was one of the top 5 plays of his career, but that's not what he remembers most about that game.
"We ran this ghost screen at least 15 times," Troupe said. "I was at the point of attack as the lead blocker and they couldn't adjust to it all game. Then the great Terrence Edwards of the Georgia Bulldogs, he dropped a wide-open touchdown. Terrence Edwards doesn't drop anything.
"And (Florida safety) Guss Scott, a Jacksonville native, returned an interception for a touchdown. Think about that. I was more excited for him in that moment than I think he was."
Georgia finished the 2002 season 13-1 and won the SEC championship, but the loss to Florida cost the Bulldogs a shot at playing for the national championship.
"And that was the year they were finally supposed to beat us," Troupe said. "When you look at Mark Richt's face at the end of the game, he's thinking, 'How did I lose to these guys again?'
"If I ever get an opportunity to meet Mark Richt, I can see him looking at me and saying, 'People like you are the reason I'm not at Georgia.' "
Troupe has already been reminded of Georgia's heartbreak by one member of the 2002 Bulldogs.
"I was in Brunswick, Ga., for a wounded warriors celebrity basketball game in 2012,' Troupe said. "A player from that team walked up to me and goes, 'Thanks a lot Ben.' I'm like, 'Thanks for what?' He said, 'Because of you, we didn't go to the national championship.' Then he asked for my autograph."
Troupe's college career took off after his game-winning touchdown. The following year he caught 39 passes for 639 yards and 5 touchdowns as a senior, earning him a second-round selection in the 2003 NFL Draft.
"Legacies are made or broken in the Florida-Georgia game, so I was grateful to have a nice play," Troupe said. "I never cared about numbers, accolades or things that came with the came. I just played the game for the love of it.
"But to me, the highest individually is to be considered a Hall-of-Famer at any level, whether it's collegiately, professionally or high school. So for my name to go down in this rivalry, it's surreal."

I was wondering when this would be speculated upon: Officials investigating the ambush slaying of a Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy are looking into the possibility that this slaying was related to Mexican drug cartel violence. From the story over at MySanAntonio.com:
"We are working day and night. ... but unfortunately we don't have any results to report as of today," Ortiz said. "It is very, very frustrating."
Ortiz said every theory had to be considered, including that the killing bore the hallmarks of a Mexican drug cartel hit. He said the killer or killers did not, apparently, target Vann as an individual but killed him on "the spur of the moment."
This assassination was very unusual as it appears to be unpremeditated. Usually when a peace officer is killed by gunfire, it is the result of a confrontation. In this instance the deputy was sitting in his marked unit waiting at a stop light when a small white car pulled up next to him and opened fire with an assault rifle.
The reward for information on Sgt. Vann's killer is up to $127,000. There is also information in the story about ways to donate money to help his family. Hit the link to read the article.

Scarf Update
I'm still plugging away! It's taking me longer than I expected and it's much wider than it's supposed to be but I can't really change it now unless I frog it all and start over - and I don't want to! Anyway, it's turning out beautifully! I hope my pal likes it even though it's probably going to be the last scarf received since I'm so dang slow!!

The Hornery, as its name suggests (which, if you have not figured out is a play on my surname, Horne, this is not meant to be condescending, just mentioning in case you are wondering) is really just my (fusion809/Brenton)'s personal website. So its format is not really that of a Wiki (wherein everyone is invited to join in and contribute), despite this, if you find something that you feel is inaccurate or misinformed, I am interested in receiving your feedback. Please remember, however, that if your feedback is more subjective than it is objective (in other words you are telling me what you think or believe and not what you know and have evidence to support), odds are it will ignored, as this website is supposed to be from my point of view, although I do try to let you, the readers, reach your own conclusions, by presenting all the facts. If you ask me to advertise your product, or site, I will ignore you. I have received a few emails that fit into this category that I have ignored. I will also accept any recommendations on how to improve this website, in its aesthetics and such. There are four main ways you can provide me with feedback:
- Comment on social media where I have shared the post in question.
- Send an email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Start an issue at this website's GitHub repository.
- Start a pull request at this website's GitHub repository, that includes the changes you are recommending.
You can use any of these four methods — I, for my part, have no particular preference, so long as you are clear in how you describe the issue. If you are rude in how you submit your correction (like attacking me or the site, in a way that is clearly personal, or without much detail as to what exactly is the problem), it will likely be ignored and I will not even dignify it with a response. There used to be comments on every page and post, but unfortunately in mid 2017 I noticed that the comments section was acting up (with the comments not being shown) so I deleted this option.

Drake surprised guests at the BET Awards this weekend despite receiving an incredible 12 nominations, but his rival Chris Brown was reportedly "not worried" about the rapper's whereabouts following their ongoing feud.
The 'Started From The Bottom' rapper was expected to be present at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday where the awards ceremony was held, to personally accept his three awards for Collaboration, Video of the Year and Viewers Choice Award.
However, the Young Money star was nowhere to be seen while 'Fine China' hitmaker Chris was a focal part of the ceremony giving a performance of his new single 'Don't They Know' before being joined on stage by Nicki Minaj for a special duet.
Confirming that Drake had pulled out of his appearance, a source told Radar Online: "Everything is in flux - the producers are all pulling their hair out."
|Chris Brown attended with his artist Sevyn Streeter
"Chris isn't trying to kill his vibe thinking about Drake," the source told the website.
"Chris isn't worried about him in the least. "[Chris] has no issues with him, it's all peace over here."

As we approach spring, we anticipate new beginnings, new growth and new fresh starts. For me, the beginnings of longer days and flowers blooming is almost more a chance of starting over and refreshing than New Year's Day in January. Maybe I just need lots of 'restarting' because I also feel this way about the start of a new school year as well.
Each season and time of the year offers some special for parents to do with their children. For many this has been a long winter of not being able to get outside, too much illness, cold, snow, ice and BLECH! As we start to have intermittent promises of nice days to come. Seize every opportunity to get outside – encourage your child to use all of his senses. Even the smallest babies can have their attention called to the bright sun, the blue sky, the green grass, smell the rain, the dirt, the flowers, listen to the birds, the wind, the rustle of the leaves, touch a raindrop, a new leaf, the warm (or cold) sidewalk. Many communities have farmer's markets (I know Athens and Parkersburg do) check out what fresh produce is available in your area and taste the new produce as it is in season locally.
After these experiences, we know there are still going to be days of rain, cold, chill. Why not reproduce your outdoor experiences through reading books, pretend play, art work, or cooking?
I have found the more sensory experiences and interactions I have with children, the more I appreciate and see something new in the world as an adult. Use those senses and experience your own spring of renewal and regeneration!

- Place: Village 2.0
- People: Grandparents, Uncles – Aunts, Cousins and their friends.
- Products: Apple, Mango, Jackfruit, Guava, Oranges, Pomegranate
- Tool: Catapult ( Made of wood and ropes)
- Mechanism: Torque ( I learned this in physics). When I first started using it – I was told and trained to pull it back and release it of course by aiming at the right thing.
- Force: Mainly Negative Force and they are Gravity and The Wind. Is it really negative?
- Goes Back: I believed Catapult was invented by my Grandparents which I used to get fruits down from the tree…now it goes back to 300-400 BC. Interesting!
Once upon a Summer, the catapult was a tool for us either to aim at something or use it to get some ripe fruits down from the tree. The art was to hit such that fruit(s) is intact when it fall not on the head but on the net. We could have used something else to get the fruits down but this was form of improvising on the skill and be associated with something which has been tradition to us.
Lesson Learned:
And more than tradition, my grandparents was trying to teach…to go forward you have to drag yourself back, aim high because there could be resistance one known for example like Gravity and second Wind which could help or hurt. Be prepared and get the outcome.
