- 7 peaches, skinned, pitted and sliced into 1/2 in. wedges.
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 c. flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 c. vegan sugar, fine
- wisp-o-salt
- 7-8 Tbs cold vegan margarine(***See note in directions)
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- EnerG Egg replacer for 1 egg (11/2 tsp replacer + 2 Tbs. warm water, mixed)
1. Preheat oven to 375F. In a bowl mix the corstarch, cinnamon, brown sugar. Add the peaches (when peeling the peaches boil them all for about 2 min, then drain and rinse with cold water to make peeling a breeze---good for tomato peeling too). Gently toss the peaches with the brown sugar mixture. Pour into the bottom of a 9x9 lightly greased baking dish.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the cold margarine. You can pulse in a food processor or go old school and use a pastry cutter....or be lazy like me and use a fork. (***it was a warm day when I made this and my margarine was not cool for long, so it ended up more like a batter than a crust...don't panic unless you are entertaining a culinary critic, chef, or a super snob it probably won't matter). Add the vanilla and egg replacer. Mix quickly if you are working cold.
3. Spoon the dough on top of the fruit. Do not spread it around. Bake about 40 minutes or until the dough turns golden. Eat warm with vegan ice cream, or not it's yours to do with as you like.

Fair isle, that from the fairest of all flowers,
Thy gentlest of all gentle names dost take!
How many memories of what radiant hours
At sight of thee and thine at once awake!
How many scenes of what departed bliss!
How many thoughts of what entombed hopes!
How many visions of a maiden that is
No more- no more upon thy verdant slopes!
No more! alas, that magical sad sound
Transforming all! Thy charms shall please no more-
Thy memory no more! Accursed ground
Henceforth I hold thy flower-enameled shore,
O hyacinthine isle! O purple Zante!
"Isola d'oro! Fior di Levante!"

KAL is an ELECTRONIC NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (e-NGO) and has been initiated on independent volunteering bases as a global open network since 1993. Members with skills in linguistic, and information technology are sharing their thoughts around Kurdish linguistic issues. They seek information, solutions and focus on a future for better understanding of the Kurdish language. KAL is a community of people who has responded to this crucial question of our society.
"Herwekí me cend jaran gotiye yekitiya mileté kurd bi yekítiya zimané kurdí téte pé. Di yekítiya zimané de gava péshín jhí yekítiya herfan e.

"As I have noted before, the Kurdish nation will converge via a unified Kurdish language. The prerequisite of a unified Kurdish language is a unified Kurdish alphabet. This means that the Kurdish scholars and the literati need to develop a writing system that allows all speakers hailing from every Kurdish dialect to use that writing system."
Jeladet Alí Bedir Xan, Hawar, hejh 9, 1932

The national memory stored in Poland does not include arrivals of the forefathers of the Poles from some faraway lands because apparently the national identity of the Poles was formed in the basin of the Vistula River, in the great central European lowlands in the vicinity of the steppes of Ukraine and of Russia where the original Proto Indo-European language was developed and used already some 5500 years ago.
By Farhad Shakely, The Kurdish Globe, Saturday, 22 August 2009
The history of the Kurdish people is full of examples of both oppression and resistance.
I: All those who study and deal with the history, literature and ethnography of the Kurdish people, find out, at an early stage of their work, that their tasks are hard and they have to be equipped with extra capability and patience.
Born in 1946 in Hawler, Southern Kurdistan, he studied at the Teachers Training Institute in Erbil. In 1973 he went to the former USSR where six years later, he earned a Master of Arts in pedagogy, specializing in foreign languages. In 1984 the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences awarded him a Ph.D. in Philology. From 1985 to 1990 he lectured at Alfatih University in Libya.

The first section of this chapter provides a brief description of Kurdish intellectuals in the European diaspora as an introduction to the following two sections. The approaches of the Kurdish intelligentsia in the European diaspora towards the status planning for the Kurdish language are analysed in the second section within the framework of the relationship between language and power on the one hand, and language and resistance on the other. The third section examines the political and cultural connotations of linguistic rights for the Kurdish intelligentsia in the European diaspora within the framework of a discussion on power and resistance.
Nesrin Uçarlar a Turkish researcher presented her doctoral dissertation on "Kurdish Linguistic Rights in Turkey" to the Lund University-Sweden, Department of Political Science on 30 October 2009.
Lund University has printed this research in book form, which is the outcome of an industrious effort on the part of Ms.Uçarlar .The title of the book is: "Between Majority Power and Minority Resistance: Kurdish Linguistic Rights in Turkey."
By Carolyn Weaver, New York, 27 October 2009
Organizers call it "a cinema across borders," the first-ever festival of Kurdish film in the United States. The films chosen for the five-day event at New York University focused on a people widely dispersed, from those who still live in traditionally Kurdish areas in the Middle East, to Europe and North America. Across sometimes impassable barriers, they keep alive a shared language and cultural identity.
Kurdish Literature has gone through many turbulent periods. If we consider the Yarsan (Yaristan) Kurdish balladry in Gorani dialect the advent of the Kurdish Literature after Islam then we can call the third century (A.H.) a starting point of Kurdish Literature. Many poems have been composed in Gorani dialect. Beyonds this other Kurdish dialects have actively contributed to the treasures of Kurdish literature such as Hawrami Kurdish, Northern Kurdish (Kirmanj) and Mid Kurdish (Sorani). Throughout centuries Kurdish Literature has been influenced by different intellectuals and religious movements as well as neighbourings' litterateurs.
Page 12 and 13 of Issue 2, Vol. 1, 18 July 1913's original copy of Kurdish Paper Rojh Kurd (Rojhí Kurd) published by The Kurdish Student Hope Society. These pages are of particular interest to Kurdish Orthography. Although this short article can not be classified as a systematic codification attempt but some elements are important here,
The world of encoding is changing as the rapid development of computer based technology requires more efficient applications. The body of international standardisation is trying to incorporate many of first generations of character encoding such as ISO-8859-1 into a complete broader encoding set of ISO-10646 which will match better with Unicode. The Unicode is a computing industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems.
THE following report, insomuch as it touches upon the life, language, and tribal history of the Kurds and the geographical features of the district, is the result of information gained during a stay of six months there. During this period the writer was disguised as a Persian for various reasons, mainly that of insuring easy access to every class of Kurd and unhampered passage through their country. In addition, the close intercourse, which alone confers familiarity with a people's language, all of which were essential to the completion of knowledge of southern Kurdish, and the acquisition of several more dialects, which were my principal aims.

In my limited understanding, Ignorance is any holding onto an absolutist/fixed view of things. This view is commonly referred to as "dualistic" or "extreme". One should not see things as being either one or the other. This is why the Madhyamaka philosophy was developed, the school of the "Middle Way". This school proposes that any fixed view should be eradicated with emptiness, the realization that all things lack independent existence. So things are neither high nor low, big nor small, black nor white. Nagarjuna said that even dwelling in "the middle" is a fixed view, so therefore we should not hold any presuppositions whatsoever. Likewise, Buddha Shakyamuni says in the Pali Canon that even a man who claims to be equal to all others is holding onto a fixed view that needs to be dispelled. And since Ignorance is the first link in the 12 links of interdependent origination, if we free ourselves from ignorance we will be free from the sufferings of Cyclic existence. This is why Je Tsongkhapa says that the root of suffering needs to be cut out with the sword of wisdom.
Of course, a mere intellectual understanding of this is not sufficient to set ourselves free from suffering, which is unfortunately all I have gained!! The great masters say that direct realization is required in order gain liberation. So once one can dissolve the self and all phenomena through emptiness, and see the freedom and vastness of things, then you are truly awakened. Of course, this sort of experience is beyond all conception. This is why Nagarjuna explains that the true nature of things is: Not existing, not NON-existing, Not BOTH and Not NEITHER. Once you have truly transcended all of these false views, then you can be said to have realized the Dharmakaya.
Even if one observes modern science, you can see these realizations taking place. The theories of Classical physics (starting with Sir Isaac Newton) all claim that the Universe can be organized and defined in a set of unifying laws and principles. These theories implied that once you knew "all" of the rules, that you could explain every single thing in the universe. This was often referred to as the Mechanical view of the universe.
However, modern Quantum physics is discovering that nothing can be absolutely known for sure. These theories are describing the universe in "Probabilities" rather than in absolute laws. They have discovered that the closer you examine objects, the more unstable they become. For instance, you can look at a table and it appears to be still and uniform. But the closer you examine it, the more you notice that it is composed of molecules in constant motion, all separated by space, yet still connected through energy and force. Even these molecules can be broken down further, with what science is now calling "String Theory". It is truly amazing how much these findings correlate with the Ancient Buddhist Philosopy.
I hope some good has come from my rambling! I enjoy very much discussing and contemplating these kinds of topics.
Blessings to all!
I loved reading all the responses to this question!
In lay man's terms, I believe that ignorance is the core of the three poisons or root problems, the others being anger and attachment. Every suffering we experience can find its source in these three poisons. From ignorance arises attachment and from attachment arises anger, and hence the circle goes endlessly round and round.
The scariest part of ignorance for me is not knowing the true nature of things, and not knowing what i don't know. However, as I realise how ignorant I am, I am humbled because there is so much to learn and learning the Dharma, purifying my negative karma and accumulating merits are the only routes out of this cycle.
Thank you for all your sharing, I look forward to reading more in this forum.
Ignorance is attachement! to anything, to all things and to the 'I'. This attachement makes things be, make things look solid to us, make things be holders of many characteristics which we believe are also fixed...attachement determines things. Nevertheless things and the 'I' are conditioned and become to beeing through causes and conditions. This solely fact that things need to depend on causes and conditions to be able to be, makes them indetermined and changeable, so no fixed or solid existance is possible, and therefore, attachement is senseless, and suffering comes and goes within samsara. Cessation of suffering (the 3rd.NT) is when things and the 'i' have already gone beyond this state of cognition and are pervaded by emtiness. This realization does not come to us by merely intellectual understanding, it is through the direct experience lived in meditation that one can aquire it.
Excuse my english...have studied buddhism for more than 10 years now and my teachers were H.H.and Geshe sonam Rinchen.

I've noticed some shutdown problems with vdr-1.5.1 in my setup: when my vdr wakes up for a timed recording, it doesn't automatically shutdown itself anymore after the recording is done. The MinEventTimeout is set to 15 minutes and MinUserInactivity to 600 minutes, but in my case there hasn't been any user activity, so vdr should have shutdown in 15 minutes after the recording was stopped and the logs don't reveal anything unusual. Have I misunderstood something? Does this automatic shutdown feature still work in your setups?

Southern University celebrates its centennial this year, and
the historically black university is looking to begin its next 100 years with a fresh transformation to attract and keep students.
The institution, like other historically black colleges or universities, was birthed as an an answer to a growing call for African Americans who wanted to earn higher education degrees, but were barred from most colleges and universities due to discriminatory laws and practices.
Now, as racial discriminatory practices in higher education have been ruled illegal, African-Americans have a wide array of higher education options, which means Southern University and other HBCUs have to become more competitive. Read about Southern's plans to do just that in this recent piece from NOLA.com-Baton Rouge higher education reporter Quincy Hodges.
But just as Southern looks towards its future, alumni, students and supporters are making sure to not forget its past. Members of the greater Southern University community are sharing their photos and memories on social media, and we've compiled some of those below. But we want to feature more of those photos, memories and stories from this historic institution.
Share your Southern University photos and memories by
tweeting NOLA.com-Baton Rouge at @brnola on Twitter or tagging us at
@batonrougenola on Instagram. You can also email your photos to Community

Gallery: Ask A Bartender: What's Your Dream Bar Like?
'Writer's Block'
"My dad and I always muse over opening a bar together—with bookcases lining the walls for a lending library, a literature theme and an extensive brown spirit library. He wants to name it 'Writer's Block' and have his proprietary whiskey cordial on tap." — Lauren Lathrop Williams (Jsix Restaurant)
Those Pennsylvania Liquor Laws...
"A lot like Emmanuelle: small, service-focused, good atmosphere, good music, good cocktails. Although in my dream bar I would design both the program and the bar itself (for streamlining of service) and of course PA's liquor laws wouldn't be so wacky." — Phoebe Esmon ( Emmanuelle in Northern Liberties )
Italian pizza, Spanish red wine
"My dream bar has Italian pizza, Spanish red wine, and plays lots of Alice in Chains. And has a pinball machine." — Chad Musick (Sip)
Comfortable Barstools
"My dream bar has turn-of-the-century gaslights, modern plumbing, and super comfortable barstools. The bartenders are never pretentious, and Wanda Jackson plays a live set every night. This is a fantasy, right? Seriously, the bar at Found is the closest I've come to living the dream." — Jan Henrichsen (Found)
"My dream bar would be relatively small, with one centralized bar in a "Cheers-like" setting. Nothing fancy. Just a place where the locals can meet up for drinks, where meaningful conversations can be had in a relaxing setting with the occasional wild night. Everybody would be on a first-name basis and anyone could come in and feel comfortable immediately. I do want a unicorn tucked nicely in the bar somewhere—next to the bourbons, perhaps. And instead of saying "Cheers" as a toast, the locals would have to say "Unicorn." I might even consider naming the place Unicorn. It would be in New York City instead of Boston. And I'd like it to last more than eleven seasons." — Saan Saelee (Marble Lane at Dream Downtown)
Fun But Sophisticated
"Dream bar? It would be fun but sophisticated. It would be fast and easy but with underlying awesome details that those of us geeky enough to recognize would love but that those who don't really care wouldn't feel alienated for not knowing. It will be a bar about the experience of being there, the cocktails will only add to the experience, not be the only thing the experience is about." — Ivy Mix (co-founder, Speed Rack; Clover Club)
A Real Party
"[A lot like] Sable, probably. I've thought a lot about a tiny little cozy hideaway where we can rigorously control the door and the experience and give people exactly what we want... except that isn't me. I like big, raucous bars. I like a lot of people having a lot of fun. And I like ordering a lot of cases of a lot of booze." —Mike Ryan (Sable)
1920s Portal
"My dream bar would consist of artisanal cocktails that take traditional recipes and add a modern twist—molecular gastronomy techniques, crazy ice designs, exotic infusions. The entrance would be a vending machine that is actually a door and once inside you be transported to early 1920s. Decor would match the era and the staff would be in sexy uniforms mirroring the styles of that era." — Courtney Tietze (Salinas)
Bartending First, Looks Second
"My dream bar would have easy access to everything that I would stock it with and would be set up for bartending first, looks second. It's not a lot, but so many bars i've worked at were difficult to work behind because they weren't designed by anyone who ever tended a bar, are too wide, too long, bartops are too deep or high, have displays that are so tall that I need either KISS platform shoes or a pair of stilts to get to the top shelf. Fortunately, I am not a stranger to climbing things." — Elizabeth Powell (Liberty Bar)
Indoor-Outdoor, Music and Art
"It would be small, family friendly, very knowledgeable staff, with an outdoor patio for dogs lovers, rotating art shows, live music two nights a week, cocktails made from local ingredients. And clean!" — Kirsten Schopen (The Broadmoor )
Cheap beer, good rum and taxidermy
"Well, location would be the most important thing. I love to have a casual bar somewhere within sight of ether a good trout stream or a bonefish flat. Cheap beer, good rum and taxidermy seem about right." — George Costa (Pub & Kitchen)
Bourbon, Beach, Chartreuse
"My dream bar would be an island bar that featured bourbon. Imagine watching the sunset as you enjoy a fun, fruity bourbon cocktail made with bourbon. It would have an actual bar on an island you could only get to by citrus raft and picky people wouldn't be allowed in....oh and Green Chartreuse would be on tap." — Sam Babalola (Pican)
Host of the Party
"At my bar, vodka sodas and light beer are the big sellers... but the people who ordered that wouldn't be my regulars. Small, esoteric, funky wine list. I want to keep you level with food and water, and welcome you in. It's not an overly serious place; I'm the host of the party." — John McCarthy (Mulberry Project, Vinatta Project )
Small, dark, comfortable
"It would be quite unremarkable. Small, dark, comfortable. Open fireplaces with log fires and wingback leather chairs. We'd serve until 5am and stick to 80% of the fire limit as our maximum capacity. On the menu, there are only wings, ribs and a cheeseboard with English mustard." —John Cummins (The Dawson Lounge)
'Grimms Fairy Tale Aesthetic'
"Small, 15 or 20 seats. We would only be open Wednesday - Sunday, and only from 9pm until 2 am. I would be the only bartender. The cocktail menu would be based on ingredients that I've grown and preserved. It would be a small menu that would change nightly according to what was available and my whim. I would go in every morning to garden and cook things for the bar. The theme would be roughly based on a Grimms fairy tale aesthetic. Dark, woodsy, eerie." — Sarah Mengoni (South Water Kitchen)
Hawaii, And I Live Upstairs
"Simple 12-15 seat bar, with about 20-30 seats in the lounge area. Ideally this would be in Hawaii, right on the beach where the patio opens right up to the ocean. My wife and I would own the whole building and would live upstairs. Huge backyard for our fleet of doggies to play and we'd have tons of local fruit and herbs to put into cocktails." —Kevin Diedrich (Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen)
Starfleet-Issue Replicator
"It would contain a Starfleet-issue replicator, so I could be limited only by my imagination and the remaining sobriety of my guests... and my own sobriety I suppose."— Christian Gaal ( Emmanuelle in Northern Liberties )
All Quality
"It would be a small intimate spot, maybe 7 seats at the bar with a couple tables. We would specialize in crafting cocktails and serving excellent beer. The idea is that the people you serve come back because of you and the quality of your product and service, not because your bar is flashy and new." — Dan Andruss (312 Chicago)
Semi-Sports Bar
"My ultimate bar would be a craft cocktail driven semi-sports bar. A neighborhood joint that is also a destination spot. Great cocktails with the game on cannot be beaten." — Nate Howell (Cusp Dining & Drinks)
"It would be a Mezcal bar; friendly and easy. No attitude and not such geeky cocktails." — Carlos Yturria (E&O Asian Kitchen)
Rooftop Bar, Retractable Roof
"I'd prefer a rooftop bar with a fully retractable roof and with two different areas. It should be exclusive but not impossible to get in. Dress code is enforced and no TVs. First area would be a 1920's themed bar with live jazz music from that era, and entertainment on the weekend's and other shows. The second area would be a gentleman's type establishment. The menu would consist of no less than 100 rums, and 100 whiskeys, from all over the world. The booze bottles would be the main décor of the bar… There would be a smoking lounge with a fireplace and large chairs and a cigar glass wall humidor where customers can purchase them." — Miri Kolici (Upstairs at the Kimberly Hotel)
Wine and Sherry, Too
"My dream bar is the culmination of all the things I love. So not only will the cocktails be stellar, but it will have a very good wine and sherry list as well." — Lynnette Marrero (co-founder, Speed Rack; DrinksAt6)
Your Rich Uncle's Basement
"Think of your rich uncle's basement. Low light, but not too low. So many bottles of Scotch you can't count. Leather sofas and tables so everyone has to mingle." — Brandon Toborg (Saltbox)
Old New York
"My dream bar would be something out of the prohibition era. I really like the feel of old New York. Old distressed wood floors, cool old lamps and lighting, a place that feels like it has been there for while with a little modern twist to it. Maybe even a cool secret room where people can drink fine wines and scotches that makes you feel a little special. I would serve old school speakeasy-type cocktails with fresh garnishes. I am not a huge fan of modern bars where everything is stainless steel and granite, expensive wood cabinets, crazy lighting. I want to walk into a bar and feel relaxed, instantly." — Thomas Stein (Arlington Club)

In fact, the whole rest of scripture - Old Testament and New - is the ongoing story of that relationship. And it's not poorer - a poorer relationship, or even a lesser one, or a damaged one. Even though generations of Adams and Eves go on breaking covenant after covenant with God, the relationship continues. We might even say it grows richer and somehow more beautiful, more loving.
We hear in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah: "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
In the beautiful Book of Ruth, we get a glimpse of God's fidelity to us: "Wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you lodge, I will lodge." (Ruth 1:16)
The Psalms echo that love: "Before ever a word is on my tongue, you know it, O Lord, through and through. Behind and before you besiege me, your hand ever laid upon me…O, where can I run from your spirit, or where can I flee from your face? If I climb the heavens, you are there. If I lie in the grave, you are there. If I take the wings of the dawn and dwell at the sea's furthest end, even there your hand would lead me; your right hand would hold me fast." (Psalm 139)
"I am my beloved and my beloved is mine." (Song of Songs 6:3)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son…" (John 3:16)
"This is my body…" (Luke 22:19)
This is no longer the language of Eden. These are the words of a richer, deeper, more mature and intimate relationship.
* * *
The Church starts us off at the beginning of Lent back in Paradise, in the middle of that scene with Adam pointing at Eve and Eve pointing at the snake. She does so not to say, "Look. Here is where you are." No, too many ancestors and covenants have passed since then. Rather, she points to our childhood, our thousands-of-year-old personal history, as if to say, "Look. Here is where you have been. But where are you now?"
Each year that she reads this story to us, the Church hopes to find us somewhere new - somewhere outside the gates of Eden, further along our personal and collective path of salvation, having inherited not only the inclination to sin, but also the wisdom and graces of our ancestors.
She expects to find us somewhere closer to the Promised Land - closer to a paradise regained. Closer, that is, unless we insist on sitting like overgrown 5-year-olds, continuing to blame someone else for the weeds growing up all around us, in a place where we are still trying to call Eden - totally ignorant of the promise of a new paradise - a paradise already partially realized.
How can we possibly believe that we are still frozen in the sins of Eden if we claim to believe at all in the incarnation? For Lent is not about returning to Eden to start over again at the same moment of paradise lost. Rather, in retelling the story, the Church reminds us of where we have come from, and then she asks us to stop and take notice of where we are today, east of Eden, though still west of Heaven.
The true challenge of Lent is to calculate this year's distance - this year's distance - from where we stand to Paradise regained. What terrain is left to climb? What desert is left to wander? What still comes between us and our New Jerusalem?
In his collection of writings on the liturgical year, Adrian Nocent writes:
"This point we must insist on: The Church cannot read the narrative of creation and paradise to us without taking into account all that happened later on, any more than she can fail to remember at every moment what she is and where she comes from. She is herself both an image of paradise [paradise lost] and the beginning of paradisal fulfillment."[i]

Journal Watch improving access to authors' financial ties
Journal Watch will allow readers to view physician-editor's financial ties to pharmaceutical firms or other sources of support by clicking on the author's name. The Massachusetts Medical Society, publisher of the New England Journal of Medicine and owner of Journal Watch, is set to adopt the policy this month, reports The Wall Street Journal. Currently, readers must navigate to a section's main page and click through two other pages to locate a disclosure.
The change follows a case in which Journal Watch took criticism for not disclosing one of it authors' ties to the drug industry. The author, Claudio Soares, a psychiatrist who is listed as an associate editor of the site, wrote in an April 26 article that data support antidepressant use by pregnant women, despite cautions from regulators and medical societies, according to the WSJ report. His article prompted a New England perinatologist to write in chiding the article for minimizing risks and reprimanding Journal Watch for not noting Soares' consulting relationships, which include ties with marketers of antidepressants from
A Journal Watch section editor responded to the perinatologist that Soares' disclosure was available at the time.
Last year, amid criticism, the Journal of the American Medical Association tightened its author disclosure policy after authors of a depression study appearing in its pages failed to reveal ties to makers of antidepressants. The journal had reported similar omissions from authors of a study linking certain arthritis drugs to cancer.

Series: Reckoners #2
Published by Delacorte Press on January 6th 2015
Genres: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Young Adult
Pages: 416
Buy: Amazon, Book Depository, Chapters !ndigo
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Words of Radiance, coauthor of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn Trilogy, Brandon Sanderson presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight, the sequel to the #1 bestseller Steelheart.
They told David it was impossible—that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart—invincible, immortal, unconquerable—is dead. And he died by David's hand.
Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs.
Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic—Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.
My name is David Charleston.
I kill people with super powers.
What a fun return to this universe! I just wanted to give David a huge hug. The Reckoners are still going after Epics and it's a action-packed fueled adventure. This time in a new town, with a few new Reckoners and a few new bad guy Epics.
I loved Babylon Restored, the underwater Manhattan that's ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia. It totally had a different vibe compared to Newcago, with it's more relaxed ocean feel. But what was still the same was definitely all the awesome action! There's a few new bad guys (and maybe good guys!?) with some pretty crazy powers which resulted in a lot of epic battles that always kept you on your toes. I liked that Regalia is a bit manipulative and that things were not always what it seems. I also really enjoyed Mizzy, one of the Babylon Restored Reckoners. She's a bit awkward and cute, like David.
I love the kind-hearted and awkward David so much! If possible, I think his metaphors have gotten even worst (aka. even better and more hilarious)!
"Don't do anything stupid.'
'Don't worry,' I whispered over the line, 'I'm an expert on stupid.'
'Like, I can spot stupidity, because I know it so well. The way an exterminator knows bugs really well, and can spot where they've been? I'm like that. A stupidinator.'
'Never say that word again,' Prof said."
Sometimes I feel like he's a bit naive with his rose-tinted glasses on the world buuut his heart is in the right place and sometimes you need a hero like that in your life.
I also like the development of Megan! Her character is a perfect example of how the world is never just black and white and it kind of forces David is shake up his viewpoints a bit on Epics. I seriously adored their relationship. Can we talk about how cute it is seeing David attempt to flirt with Megan (and the fact that Megan also crushes on David?)!
I needed to say something. Something romantic! Something to sweep her off her feet.
"You're like a potato!" I shouted after her. "In a minefield."
Firefight was definitely a great addition to the series as destroying Epics became more than just revenge for David. It brings about the the moral question of does the end justify the means and I like the line between "bad guys" and "good guys" isn't always so obvious. I look forward to seeing how all of this plays out in the next book and I hope David becomes an even better hero.
And (more) QUOTES; because this book is too amazing to not have a bunch!
As she'd left, I'd glanced at her gun.
This time, when she'd pointed it at me, she'd flicked the safety on. If that wasn't true love, I don't know what was.
"I'm going to destroy you, little man!" Sourcefield yelled after me. "I'll rip you apart like a piece of tissue paper in a hurricane!"
"Wow," I said, reaching an intersection and taking cover by an old mailbox.
"What?" Tia asked.
"That was a really good metaphor."
Stupid water, ruining my enjoyment of swimming.

RadSpeech, a mobile dialogue system for radiologists
Daniel Sonntag; Christian Husodo Schulz; Christian Reuschling; Luis Galarraga
In: Proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI). International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI), 17th, February 14-17, Lisboa, Portugal, Pages 317-318, ISBN 978-1-4503-1048-2, ACM, New York, USA, 2012.
With RadSpeech, we aim to build the next generation of intelligent, scalable, and user-friendly semantic search interfaces for the medical imaging domain, based on semantic technologies. Ontology-based knowledge representation is used not only for the image contents, but also for the complex natural language understanding and dialogue management process. This demo shows a speechbased annotation system for radiology images and focuses on a new and effective way to annotate medical image regions with a specific medical, structured, diagnosis while using speech and pointing gestures on the go.

In an article from Psychology today, Stanly Coren, Ph.D dissects a dog's bark to help pet owners understand what our dogs are trying to tell us.
"Barking is an alarm sound. There is no threat of aggression signaled by the dog unless it is lower pitched and mixed with growls. Let's consider the interpretation of the most common barks," said Coren.
Rapid strings of 2 to 4 barks with pauses between is the most common form of barking and is the classic alarm bark meaning something like "Call the pack. There is something going on that should be looked into."
Barking in a fairly continuous string but lower pitch and slower than the usual alarm bark suggests that the dog is sensing an imminent problem. Thus this sound means "The intruder (or danger) is very close. I don't think that he is friendly. Get ready to defend yourself!"
One or two sharp short barks of high or midrange pitch is the most typical greeting sound, and it usually replaces the alarm barks when the visitor is recognized as friendly. Many people are greeted in this way when they walk in the door. It really means "Hello there!" and is usually followed with the dog's typical greeting ritual
Long string of solitary barks with deliberate pauses between each one is a sign of a lonely dog asking for companionship.
A stutter bark, which sounds something like "Harr-ruff" is usually given with front legs flat on the ground and rear held high and simply means "Let's play!"
Hopefully these bark translations will help you understand your pooch better, the next time they are trying to get your attention!

1480 Frances St
Vancouver, BC
All events are free and open to the public! Placement Gallery is ready to host its premiere Vancouver exhibition, Outsiders: Vancouver & Beyond.This inaugural exhibition will have two focuses: the work of Vancouver artist, Jack Proctor and a small survey of Outsider and Self-Taught artists from around the globe.
Born and raised in BC, Jack Proctor has been creating art his whole life, a blue collar worker by day and creator by night. Jack's object work can be seen as reminiscent of Calder's mobiles in terms of whimsy, colour and detail, while his collages incorporate multi layered paper, glass, glitter and glass beads. The result is pure visual pleasure.
The other focus of the exhibition is a sampling of prominent Outsider and Self-Taught artists. Featured work will highlight pioneers in the field, such as artists Howard Finster (1916 – 2001), Purvis Young (1943 – 2010), Damian Michaels, Anne Grgich, Lillian Colton, and many more. This is a unique opportunity to view a range of works by established Outsider artists from around the world in one exhibition.
Placement Gallery is a pop-up gallery project from Yuri Arajs, curator and artist.

The District averages water consumption from November through February to determine the sewer bill for the next 12 months starting with your April bill. Residents can control their annual bills to some extent by conserving as much water as possible during these four months. Water use is typically at its lowest during winter because outdoor watering is minimal. Nearly 50% of water use in Brushy Creek is attributable to irrigation. Now is the time to conserve water and reduce your water and waste water bills for the rest of the year.
Common sources of water leaks include toilets, irrigation systems and water softeners.
Should you experience a water leak or fill a swimming pool during the averaging months, you will need to complete a Sewer Adjustment Form which can found on our website, bcmud.org, under Customer Service. You may also contact Customer Service at 512-255-7871 for assistance with sewer adjustments.

Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) wrote yesterday to Eric Holder and demanded that the Attorney General investigate the recent reports of SWATtings against several conservative commentators and bloggers. The SWATtings are merely one component of a long-standing campaign of alleged harassment and lawfare.
Today, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder regarding recent reports that several conservative political commentators have been targeted with harassing and frightening actions. Chambliss demanded that Holder examine these cases to determine if federal laws have been violated.
SWATting is a "prank" so named by the FBI for the type of law enforcement response triggered by the activity. An impostor makes an emergency call to authorities that results in a rapid response against the intended target. While it is not always an actual SWAT (special weapons and tactics) team that responds to the target location, the response itself usually consists of numerous armed law enforcement personnel that descend upon the scene in a coordinated fashion that is not unlike that of trained SWAT officers.
Today, there's a new, much more serious twist on this old crime. It's called "swatting," and it involves calling 9-1-1 and faking an emergency that draws a response from law enforcement–usually a SWAT team.
Needless to say, these calls are dangerous to first responders and to the victims. The callers often tell tales of hostages about to be executed or bombs about to go off. The community is placed in danger as responders rush to the scene, taking them away from real emergencies. And the officers are placed in danger as unsuspecting residents may try to defend themselves.
The most recent incident of SWATtings targeted CNN Contributor and managing editor of RedState.com, Erick Erickson. Additional SWATtings were targeted at Patrick Frey, a deputy district attorney at Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office who also blogs under the pseudonym Patterico, and against Mike Stack, who played a role in exposing the online activity of former New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner last year.
The letter from Senator Chambliss' website continues:
These dangerous hoaxes, also known as "SWAT-ting," occur when a perpetrator contacts local police to report a violent incident at a target's home. These callers are believed to utilize voice-over IP (VOIP) and other less-traditional telecommunications methods to make the call appear to come from the target residence and to hide the caller's true identity.
In response, a dispatcher sends a SWAT team or other police unit in a heightened state of readiness to the unsuspecting target's residence. Targets only learn of these false reports when a large police presence descends upon their homes.
In the letter, Chambliss states that "Any potentially criminal action that incites fear, seeks to silence a dissenting opinion, and collaterally wastes the resources of law enforcement should be given close scrutiny at all levels… Regardless of any potential political differences that may exist, threats and intimidation have no place in our national political discourse. Those who choose to enter into that political discourse should not have to worry about potential threats to their or their family's safety."

The Grifters
The content on this page is provided by a Time Out partner.
Hard-as-nails Lily Dillon (Anjelica Huston) works as a swindler for dangerous bookie Bobo (Pat Hingle), probably the only man she fears. Arriving in Los Angeles on "business," Lily looks up her son, Roy (John Cusack), a small-time con artist content with paltry sleight-of-hand cheats. Roy's girlfriend, Myra (Annette Bening), looks like an All-American type but is a grifter looking to pull off another big-time con. The convergence of the three hustlers inevitably means trouble for all of them.

I love my Pontiac Grand Prix it is a great car to go back and forth to school in. I drive 30 minutes one way to school everyday and I only use half a tank of gas a week so for a six cylinder 3.8L that is great and I also go shopping and run for parts for my husband in it as well and am still only using half a tank a week. I just love this car and I am normally a Chevy person but I will keep this car until she dies.
By on 8/6/15 | Benton, AR
My grand prix is a great driving car with 190,000 miles on it. Have replaced some parts but its better than having a car payment
By on 3/5/14 | Antioch, TN
I really need to know if I should try changing my resistor blower motor since my heat/AC stopped working when I turn it on high?
By on 12/4/13 | Pontiac, MI
Bought brand new, currently 114k miles, no major engine or transmission problems yet!! I love my car. Always used quality gas & got oil changed regularly. 1st tune-up at 100k miles, my ignition still starts like a brand new car. 1st major repair in 2013 hvac. Needs new struts but still handles & accelerates like new. I'm blessed.
By on 9/19/13 | Odenville, AL
brake lights and turn signals on rear went out replaced fuse and still does not work
By on 6/25/13 | Marshall, AR
I've only had my 93 Grand Prix LE for about 2 months. Other than a service engine light coming on it hasn't given me any problems. No oil leaks, no oil usage, air cond. works and breaks are fabulous. Very good engine power for a 20 year old car. The odometer says 53000?
By on 3/7/13 | Scottsdale, AZ
I do not recomend this vehicle I love my 02 grand prix, I guess exterior mostly. I bought it used and had many problems. no kick in gas bumby ride always
By on 9/17/12 | Morristown, TN
My car has 260,000 miles,bought it with 140,000 as it aged seemed to have alot of sensor problems and throwing codes, but all in all I would buy another, Love Pontiacs for durance.
By on 7/23/12 | Troy, MI
I bought my GP-GT new in 2000. I now have 107,000+ miles on it. My only complaint has been with the A/C (had to disconnect and use an ideler pully to replace compressor) and the de-fogging function which has always been overpowered in winter w/ very humid/snowey weather. The HVAC Blower has bad some very noisy screeching noises as well. Have gotten 31 MPG highway and about 17-18 MPG in all-around daily use. It is starting to show rust under the car and door sill areas, but the body/silver paint has been fantastic even after spending 12+ years out of 13 parked outside here in our Michigan winters/summers.
By on 2/12/12 | Antioch, TN
very good car, obtained car in 2011 from friend who mother owned the car. I replaced the waterpump, alternator, back struts, battery, door locks module, that was a problem, did not know what was the problem, the locks would humm from one door to the other all around the car all four doors. went to the dealer and they said that they could not help. I went to a electrical shop and they found the problem was a module for the chimes and door locks, got a used one solved the problem. Now I have a problem with anti-freeze leaking from under the car, think its the timing cover.

After a horrible experience with a 1993 VW Jetta I purchased new, I decided to trade my 1993 Jetta with 26,500 miles on the odometer for a brand new 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT coupe. I still have my beautiful Grand Prix and I have no intentions of ever parting with it. I'd like to be buried in it when I die! I can't believe the incredible durability of the Grand Prix's paint and interior. My Grand Prix is mostly parked outdoors and after nearly 15 years the paint still looks great and the incredibly durable cloth interior is virtually fade proof and is tough as nails! The 3800 V6 is smooth, powerful and gets fantastic gas mileage coupled to an excellent 4 speed automatic transmission. The interior is very roomy as is the trunk. My Grand Prix has been a very solid and extremely reliable car, with excellent handling, firm magnasteer steering and strong ABS brakes. Not to mention it's a very inexpensive car to own and operate. My only gripe is with the slow power window motors and the poor optics of the headlamps. But aside from those issues, GM did a phenomenal job with the redesign of the 1997 Grand Prix. I deem it as a perfect all around car!
By on 3/10/11 | Edgarton, WV
I bought this car as my 2nd Grand Prix, the first wasnt so great, had some issues with it, mainly heating problems, way too expensive to fix, but my 06 model is very much worth every penny, only issue ive had is with the headlights, this car handles great, rides good, & just an all around good car, I get many compliments on it, its nothing fancy, just a base model, but its still a very nice car.
By on 2/11/11 | Chicago, IL
i love my 93 grand prix had it since 2010 in sept, the only problem i've had was a valve cover gasket, catalylic converter and left muffler. has kept the oil changed and runs really well on the road. the blizzard came 2011 and it has moved since. i think it's the starter the lights and everything come on but it won't start today the weather is a lil better i can hear a clicking sound when i try to start it. i'm gonna get some one to jump me cause the battery might be low to start
By on 1/25/11 | Elk Mound, WI
Bought my 2000 Grand Prix GT at age 17 and totally love it. It is much more reliable than the 1978 cutlass cruizer i used to drive. Also this is by far way better than any foriegn car that i know of!
By on 12/11/10 | Middle Island, NY
My first car at 17 and i loved it, no major problems at all it drove very nicely and smooth. Very Reliable and safe. i love my pontiac
By on 12/3/10 | Tallahassee, FL
factory installed tires went bald in less than 17k miles. had bad seals on the rear brake lights and needed replacing at least twice. in less than 2 years had transmission problems. the car has just over 45k miles on it now and it has started eating oil like a pig.. over 1 qt / 1000 miles. the plastic plate at the inside base of the windshield cracked from florida sun. slides backwards on any incline when stopped. seats made from cheap fabric that wears out from seat belt and in the seat area. bad window seals.. noisy ride...
By on 11/17/10 | Winslow, AZ
Nice car, but the suspension and steering are really not good.
By on 11/4/10 | Purdy, MO
I love my car i have the 94 pontiac grand prix se and its a great canr it has over 200000 miles and rocks still
By on 10/4/10 | Ada, MI
This my 2nd GXP. Love the car. I put 60K on the first and bought the second one used with 36K. Only 2 bearable drawbacks - brakes and tires. Front pads go at 24-26K; tires at 26-28K. I'm going to try ceramic pads @ next change. I haven't decided yet on a replacement for the Bridgestones. I've not had a problem with anything else which is why I bought the second one - GREAT CAR! Bummer they shut down Pontiac.
By on 9/13/10 | Evansville, IN
I have had the car for almost 2 years and some problems i have had included intake gasket needed replaced and the windows are bound to fail in my case multiple times. I don't see how there has not been a recall. Other than that it has been good even with 142000 miles.
By on 9/2/10 | Clarksville, TN
low coolant level
By on 8/19/10 | Naperville, IL
I have a V8 GXP and I Love It! My only issues with it is not so good mpg and it blows through brakes. Otherwise it is a very fun, fast, and nice looking car. I love how it handles and how it looks and sounds and the 18" stock wheels. This is the second Grand Prix I have owned. My first was a 97 GTP which was also quite a fun car.
By on 7/13/10 | Latham, NY
had major problems ever since i got this car. electric windows on drivers and passenger front sides didn't work very well; had engine problems as well. glad to be rid of it
By on 7/11/10 | Minneapolis, MN
Very tight and sensitive but not too sensitive steering. Handles very well. 65,000 miles and no major issues. Lived in Phoenix, AZ for 3 years. Desert heat and sun warped cowling on windshield, rub rail on driver's side door peeling off, dash rattled and vent inserts would occasionally pop out. Steering wheel column cover warped a little, and sun roof leaks now. Rattle disappeared and vent inserts don't pop out anymore after moving back to MN. Sun roof still leaks, but I suspect this to be an adjustment issue. Towed a 1,600lb U-Haul trailer from Phoenix to Flagstaff, up a steep mountain with minimal issues. Transmission got hot, but that was to be expected. No other issues. I love how when I burn out a turn signal, it notifies me on the in-dash screen of which turn signal went out. "Front Right Turn Signal Out" made it more convenient to trouble shoot then walking around my car. Rated at 20mpg city/30mpg highway, I can get 35mpg on the highway by setting cruise control at around 57mph (1,200rpms). Set at lower RPM's, car gets amazing fuel economy, displayed on the in-dash screen. Engine runs great, although maintenance can get tricky. Oil filter is in semi-strange location, passenger side of engine block, and above wheel . Air filter compartment is a challenge to open and replace air filter. Other wise easy to maintain. Overall, a great quality car and worth the purchase.
By on 5/6/10 | Sahuarita, AZ
rides like a truck
By on 4/5/10 | Jasper, IN
bought this car (sports edition) as my 1st car for $800... after replacing a couple items and a good cleaning, some, and lots of tlc...the previous owner is jealous!!!
By on 1/11/10 | Rochester, NY
I bought this car as my first car for $1000 and let me tell you it was the best investment i have ever made. I bought it with roughly 200,000 miles on it and over 3 years i have only put about 1000 worth of work into it, mostly because of lack of care from the previous owner. I still have this car today at 252k miles and its still running strong!
By on 7/4/09 | San Antonio, TX
Great looks, great ride, good handling, lots of compliments
By on 5/13/09 | Nashville, TN
Great car, but has required A LOT of expensive maintenance. Was driven mostly in Ohio and has rust which may have caused some of the maintenance.
By on 4/19/09 | Salt Lake City, UT
Excellent and very reliable. Smooth high speed driving and handling. 196000 original and in great condition, minor issue on seat adjustment knobs just above center console area on seats

The UK is heading for a potentially catastrophic retirement crisis, if figures released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) are to be believed.
A steep decline of more than £2 billion in pension contributions has been cited in the ONS publication Pension Trends Chapter 8: Pension contributions.
In the financial year 2009/10, total contributions to personal pension schemes were a measly £18.7 billion, compared the £20.9 billion of contributions paid in 2007/08. This has widely been put down to a drop in the number of people contributing as a result of the recession.
The number of people paying contributions to a personal (including stakeholder) pension fell significantly during the recession, with most people who were previously making minimal contributions stopping altogether. It is estimated that, in total, around one million people stopped making contributions to individual pension plans.
The ONS publication also states that, in 2009, 56% of active contributors to private sector defined benefit (DB) schemes were in schemes that had ceased to welcome new members, while DB schemes are still open to most public sector workers.
