text: Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to witness the amusingly disastrous combination of sleep deprivation and burn out. I spent 2 hours outlining, scripting, filming and editing this video. Even though I was talking about one of the simplest things in the world, how to make a hyperlink, I ended up scrapping the whole thing... except for this one minute of glory. I have to face it, I need to budget my time for the next two weeks extremely carefully or I won't produce, period. 🤕 I need to be on my A game. Bed time, stat. 💤💤 ・・・ : : : #entrepreneur #startup #business #entrepreneurlife #bloopers #onset #vlog

That's what I am - an electronics jinx. Seriously. When I was explaining all of my electonics jinxing to my mother, she was laughing so hard. Sure - she can laugh. She's not living it! Hrmph!
I've got a brand new laptop, that I cannot connect to the internet - except in the dining room.
I've had cellphone issues for about five years now - it's really, really pathetic. My poor brother had to call me back two or three times just in the course of our conversation yesterday. And I have to dance around the house while talking to anyone, because, a spot that has good reception this minute, might not the next. So I travel through the house, desperately trying to continue my phone conversations.
Mark just bought me a new camera - the camera is eating all of the batteries we put in it! So most of the time I have a brand new camera that doesn't work, as we can't keep up with supplying it batteries!
I swear there was at least one or two more electronics that I've succeeded in causing to malfunction, but, I can't seem to think of them. I'm sure if my mother reads this (Hi Momma!) she will enlighten us if I have, in fact, forgotten some of them! ;)

Shouldn't we go find the next Google? The next Instagram? What about another Angry Birds? They're creative, they use tech, no? Well, no.
Our investments from Collider12 will be unashamedly 'B2Brand'. The startups will have some smart, creative technology that help the big brands in a big way. This is what we know and these are the startups we'll help grow.
Like others we believe in B2B, but more so we believe that what the UK does so incredibly well is creativity joined with scalable technology. The investors and brands know that the UK does this better than anyone else - we understand the people, the technology and the potential. For their part, Notion Capital's investments will typically be £1m - £2m and they're confident of deal flow. "If you are an entrepreneur setting up a B2B business in Europe there aren't that many VCs that are active. There isn't anyone else with the 'laser' focus in that area that we have," Jos White said.
With Jos and others having 'laser' focus at Series A but you need the seed round. Rose comments, "Being creative with technology that can help Brands is what England does so well - London is the home of creativity and there are incredible opportunities here right now - we can help from the crucial early stage and beyond, so if you're a tech 'B2Brand' startup get in touch with email@example.com".

Yo yo peeps!!! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending Jason Wu's Fall 2013 fashion presentation at Saks Fifth Avenue here in DC. I seriously wanted to run on stage a take the clothes right off the models. EVERYTHANG was so stunning!!! I'm gonna do another post over the weekend of some of the looks I loved. Good weather has finally arrived in the district and I was so excited to take these sandals for a test drive. They're easily my favorite pair of shoes at the moment. I had such a great day roaming around the city and doing a little shopping with Denisio. If only everyday could be spent like that…*sigh* A girl can dream right?!?!? Good days just motivate you to keep pushing forward. I have so many things going on right now, so it was so refreshing to do nothing but enjoy a beautiful day XOXO

The one and only Willie Ryan, checker great, showman, and all-around character, would have been 100 years old this month, we're told. Who knows what he might have added to his many accomplishments had he not passed on far too soon? But in any event, in celebration of this milestone anniversary, we continue our series from what is arguably Willie's best book, Tricks Traps & Shots of the Checkerboard with an entry Willie calls Beeswax Block Buster. Here's what Willie had to say on the subject, way back in 1950.
"Early in my checkered career I took a strong fancy to the Old Paraffin opening, developing much new play on it, and with it defeating many prominent stars of the board. Eventually, my contemporaries got onto it, and I dropped the opening from my repertoire. Here is one Beeswax ambush that I used with wide and telling effect:
11-15 24-20 8-11 27-24---A 3-8 23-19 9-13---B 26-23 6-9---C 23-18 1-6 31-27 9-14 18-9 5-14 forming the diagram.
A---Forms the Old Paraffin opening, nicknamed the Beeswax. When properly met, it is somewhat weak for white, though drawable.
B---If 9-14 is tried, continue with 22-17, 5-9, 26-23; now 1-5 is drawable. If 15-18 is taken, it can be nailed neatly by 19-15*, 18-27, 32-23, 11-27, 20-16, 12-19, 24-15, 10-19, 17-3, 27-32, 3-12, and white wins by stealing the piece on square 19.
C---This is where black goes wrong. The only move to draw is: 15-18*, 22-15,11-27, 32-23, 6-9, 25-22, 9-14; now 22-18 or 31-26 will draw."
But don't get "waxed" yourself! Try the problem and then click on Read More for a honey of a solution.
Continue: 22-17, 13-22, 25-9, 6-13, 30-25*, 15-18, 19-16, 12-19, 24-6, 2-9, 20-16, 11-20, 27-24, 20-27, 32-5, and white wins.

Me, thinking I could compile and build the source, couldn't. May I have an in-depth tutorial? I have no clue what to do. Am on Windows 10.
Kobo Redux
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Kobo Redux is a frantic 80's style 2D shooter, inspired by the look and feel of 90's arcade cabinets. The gameplay is fast and unforgiving, although with less of the frustrating quirkiness of the actual games of the 80's. A true challenge in the spirit of the arcade era!
First, inspired by Bosconian, there was XKobo, a multi-directional scrolling arcade shooter, where the primary objective was to destroy maze-like hostile space bases, while they were hurling bullets, missiles, and ships in your general direction.
Kobo Deluxe brought this addictive little game to basically everything with a CPU, and has had incredible numbers of downloads on various platforms. It is also included in many Linux distros. However, the project was never quite finished, and the game mostly served as a test bed for other little projects, such as glSDL, and the unnamed sound engine - a precursor of Audiality 2.
Now, with smoother controls, improved gameplay, a bit of physics, new pixel art, and a proper soundtrack, Kobo Redux aims to be the XKobo update that Kobo Deluxe never quite became.
What you get when you buy Kobo Redux
- Access to the full Redux sound and graphics themes
- Access to binaries for the supported platforms
- Free updates of the above, for as long as the project is maintained
- Improved chances of updates and more games actually happening!
- Kobo Redux has been Greenlit, so you'll also get a Steam key eventually.
What is available to everyone, under various FOSS licenses
- Full game source code
- Full source code of the Audiality 2 audio engine
- Graphics and sound themes included with the game source code
In other words, while the Kobo Redux media is proprietary, the full game source code is available under the GNU GPL (some files are under the GNU LGPL), and relies only on portable Free/Open Source technologies, such as SDL and Audiality 2. The game is fully playable with the included non-proprietary media.
That is, it is entirely legal to fork the game code and the included free themes in order to develop different versions, or new games, as long as the original licencing terms are not violated.
If you own Kobo II...
If you've previously purchased Kobo II, you get Kobo Redux for free! You should have received an email with a download key.

As I don't actually build the Windows version on Windows, I can only give some rough hints here, I'm afraid. Your best bet is probably to use MinGW, as that is essentially the native version of the toolchain I use for crosscompiling. You'll also need CMake to use the existing build scripts. Once you have that installed, you'll need SDL 2.0 and SDL_image 2.0 development libraries, and dependencies, and then you'll need to build and install Audiality 2.
As for the build process, there are some hints here, although aimed at Un*x systems and similar.
Thank you, kind sir. I hope to see more from you. I loved Kobo Deluxe, and am hoping to see even better when I build Kobo Redux.
Question: Do I put the SDL 2.0 libraries and the Audiality 2 build in the same directory as the Kobo build?
Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy the new developments.
The build scripts expect both SDL2 and A2 to be properly installed in the development environment, like any other libraries - so the typical procedure is to build and install SDL2, then build and install A2, and finally, the game.
I assume I build the c files with gcc and the c++ with g++?
Howdy, I bought Kobo 2 back in like 2012... I just bought this version too, I don't mind paying twice, but a Steam key would be great! What became of Kobo II? It was promising.
Thank you very much! Then you should get two Steam keys when the time comes. :-)
There will be another 0.7.x release, but then I'm focusing on 0.8.0 and Steam, which means new levels and upgraded enemies. The game logic code needs major refactoring, and it has legal issues. Rewriting those parts takes care of both. I'll open up Steam Early Access as soon as 0.8.x is reasonably playable.
As to Kobo II (working title), I started running out of time and resources, and I realized I'd have to strip it down to something quite generic and uninteresting to be able to finish it at the time. So, I put it on hold, replaced the contract work with a job, and started working on a smaller project: Kobo Redux, which is also much more similar to XKobo/Kobo Deluxe in feel and gameplay.
However, I've kept working on Audiality 2 (sound engine, also used in Redux) and EEL (scripting language, used for some tools for Redux; may be used for GUI and high level logic in Redux 0.8.x), and I intend to update the Kobo II tech preview, and release it with full source code in the near future.
After finishing Kobo Redux, I'll look into reviving Kobo II - probably under a different name, as it's really a different subgenre, which doesn't appeal to all Kobo fans.
Audality is awesome, I like the SFX it generates. I'm an audio guy, it'd be super cool if you made a GUI for it so people like me could play around with it's values. I'm always willing to pay for decent sound tools! It sounds like it's a flexible sound engine, I like the fact that the SFX are generated on the fly.
Thanks! A2 is a modular synth with realtime scripting (with A2S) - which at this point, is the only user interface. (Documentation in progress: https://github.com/olofson/audiality2/tree/master/doc ) The idea is to cover everything from virtual instruments through sound effects and streaming with a single architecture, in order to eliminate the traditional distinctions between these fields. A2S was never really intended as a "music language," but that's how all music for it so far has been authored. Dynamic/interactive music would seem like the obvious next step there.
Either way, I'm planning on building an interactive A2S editor with tracker capabilities, and possibly support for "instrument" GUIs for realtime tweaking. Wrapping A2 up as a VSTi for music authoring in traditional DAWs is also on the list. It has crossed my mind to do something more similar to the FMOD and Wwise authoring tools for A2, but that's a massive project, and I'm not sure I want to develop and support tools full time. But, you never know... :-)

Robocop Looks Terrible
Robocop is one of the most iconic movie characters from the 1980's. Paul Verhoven's Robocop is a searing inditement of 80's corporate policies, the media, and the overt violence of the time. Robocop is a brilliantly constructed film that is both enjoyable as an action film and as a satiric statement on the decade.
The new Robocop reboot does not appear to have any intention of having any meta textual commentary or satirical bite. The film looks like a Platinum Dunes remake. It looks bland, lame, overtly generic, and unimaginative.
Maybe the film will surprise us all, but somehow I really don't think it will. It's also being released in February, one of the studio's dump months. That doesn't bode well.
The official synopsis is:
In "RoboCop," the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex's life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.
Share and Enjoy

It hardly needs saying, but I'm going to do it anyway.
If you don't network, you won't survive.
This is true in business, for most of us at least, but I'm quite confident it's got wider applications.
Most small business owners know this, so inevitably end up eating breakfast with a bunch of local business folks once or twice a week.
Don't get me wrong, organised networking events are great. I use them myself, and they are pivotal in the way I market myself and my services.
But I thought there could be a way where I could utilise the model and create my own event too. One where I attracted the type of people who could become customers. Now that would be awesome...
So that's what I did. I set up Saturday Startup and have made tonnes of great connections, a few good mates and a handful of clients... And it's only 6 months old.
If you're interested, you can have a look at our group here... http://www.meetup.com/saturday-startup/
For anyone looking to raise their profile, develop some skills or increase their network I'd highly recommend at least using meetup.com to attend events. There could be some great ones close to where you live.
If you don't see what you're looking for, then that's great... You've just found an opportunity to set one up for yourself.
If you have any questions about the process, I'd be more than happy to offer advice based around my experience... Just shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do.
One final plug before I leave you in peace:
If you're in the Manchester area and fancy dipping your toe in the water with meetup, why not pop along to my bookclub?
We meet every month in a nice pub on a Sunday afternoon... See the link below to find out what we've got coming up:

Nice form by this girl practicing yoga. Pointed toes on both feet as she balances on her elbows supported only by hands. Her legs are kept perfectly horizontal and the camera angle does a great job of capturing this. Once again I'm too new to yoga to know the proper name for the position but then this is as much a photography blog as a yoga blog, so you're just going to have to bear with me for awhile longer. Living in Vancouver there are tons of yoga studios just a few blocks from my door but when you have a three year old and another one on the way time just seems to dissapear :)

Have you heard of the Google Art Project? It's a fascinating project that takes you inside a variety of museums and art galleries around the world, 151 museums in 40 countries to be specific, some of these museums can be explored via the Street View, which makes you feel as if you actually in the museum. Google just announced the addition of two Middle Eastern museums to its Art Project collection, The Mathaf and The Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar.
The Google Art Project comprises more than 30,000 high resolution objects, including paintings, sculpture, street art, and photographs from a wide variety of cultures and civilizations including Brazilian street graffiti to Islamic decorative arts and ancient African rock and more, and it's not only about museums and art galleries, you can actually take a tour in the White House.
Significant technical improvements have been undertaken. Street View images are now displayed in finer quality than the original version. Users may browse the content by the artist's name, the artwork, the type of art, the museum, the country, collections and the time period. Google+ and video hangouts are integrated on the site, allowing viewers to create even more engaging personal galleries.
Key features of Google's expanded Art Project:
Explore museums with Street View technology: using this feature, people can move around the gallery virtually on www.googleartproject.com, selecting works of art that interest them and clicking to discover more or diving into the high resolution images, where available.
A specially designed Street View 'trolley' took 360 degree images of the interior of selected galleries which were then stitched together, enabling smooth navigation of over 385 rooms within the museums. The gallery interiors can also be explored directly from within Street View in Google Maps.
Super high resolution feature artworks:
Super high resolution feature artworks: around 40 museums selected one artwork to be photographed in extraordinary detail using super high resolution or 'gigapixel' photo capturing technology. Each such image contains around 7 billion pixels, enabling the viewer to study details of the brushwork and patina beyond that possible with the naked eye. Hard to see details suddenly become clear such as the tiny Latin couplet which appears in Hans Holbein the Younger's 'The Merchant Georg Gisze'. Or the people hidden behind the tree in Ivanov's 'The Apparition of Christ to the People'.
In addition, museums provided images for a selection totaling more than 28,000 works of art. The resolution of these images, combined with a custom built zoom viewer, allows art-lovers to discover minute aspects of paintings they may never have seen up close before, such as the miniaturized people in the river of El Greco's 'View of Toledo', or individual dots in Seurat's 'Grandcamp, Evening'
Create your own collection:
The 'Create an Artwork Collection' feature allows users to save specific views of any of artworks and build their own personalised collection. Comments can be added to each painting and the whole collection can then be shared with friends and family. It's an ideal tool for students or groups to work on collaborative projects or collections.
Discover, search, and explore:
With such large collection is was important for Googles to provide the tools that allow users to explore across partners using the discover tool, and then further explore artworks by that artist across all collections. A custom search integration makes it easier than ever to browse through collections, and find what your are looking instantly.
Multi platform support:
With this launch Google has brought the Art Project to the tablet. The experience of viewing Art on a tablet and browsing through rich content truly comes to life. Currently it supports the Android platform and will have the iPad version ready post launch.

I came across an interesting nugget of information about how GPOs are applied in a SoftGrid/App-V environment so I thought I'd pass it along here just in case any of you were curious how these things worked. The short version is that in 4.2 and earlier, policies were applied to the VReg and now in 4.5 they're not, but here's the full explanation from Matt Young, a senior SDE on the App-V team:
Each Group Policy Object (GPO) is manifested in the registry, in the form of keys/values, and they typically live under { HKCU || HKLM }\Software\Policies. These registry keys are pushed down from Active Directory upon user logon and in response to other events, as configured by the domain administrator.
For SoftGrid 4.2x and earlier, we would process the local policy files during launch and apply the keys/values to the virtual registry. Specifically, we used to apply group policy to the VReg as the last step in the launch sequence, after loading the read-only registry from section 9 of the sft file, deltas from cp file(s) and any keys defined in the <REGISTRY> tag the OSD file. We would apply GPO's by parsing the .pol files and applying the keys/values to the VReg from the listener. This data was never cleaned out of the vreg (as it is in the native registry), and as policies change over time would result in a "union set" of the registry key manifestations of all GPO's ever set. This caused issues for some, as policies when changed would update a portion of the VReg with a new value – in place. However other GPO's will set a new value, sometime adjacent to the old value, causing indeterminate behavior depending on the specifics of the GPO.
When we looked at the various issues with our handling of GPO's, we decided that GPO's are not something that belong in the virtual registry at all. They belong in the native registry, where the existing mechanisms in Windows keep them secure and current. What was needed was not a series of "fixes" for how we duplicate these settings in the virtual registry, but to not have them present at all. If a virtualized application reads GPO values from the registry (either intentionally or as a result of some other action), the virtual registry should not ever provide an alternate view of these keys and values from that which is persisted in the native/real registry. Any deviation would be an instance of App-V altering policy settings defined by the Domain Admins.
In 4.5, we no longer process the local .pol files and apply them to the virtual registry. Furthermore, as the last step of the launch sequence, we forcibly obliterate any keys or values under the policy roots. This handles the case where a pre-4.5 package is loaded on a 4.5 client. Note: we do not delete them, as a deleted key or value "exists" in the VReg as deleted value. This has the side effect of not being able to intentionally set GPO values / keys in a package, however this was the goal.

Montgomery in Montgomery County, Alabama — The American South (East South Central)
Birth of Montgomery Bus Boycott
Boycott planned & publicized here at ASU's Councill Hall
Side 1
On Dec. 1, 1955, at Alabama State College (now Alabama State University) in a basement room in Councill Hall, the Montgomery Bus Boycott was planned and publicized after the arrest that day of Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat to a white person on a segregated city bus.
Following Parks' arrest, Alabama State College took action. Jo Ann Robinson, a faculty member, authored the text of a flyer calling for blacks to boycott segregated city buses and, joined by others, responded to Parks' arrest by mimeographing thousand of flyers here calling for a one-day boycott of the buses to start the following Monday, Dec. 5. Assisted by members of the Women's Political Council (WPC), they distributed them throughout the city's black community in hopes of ending segregation on city buses.
(Continued on other side)
Side 2

Robinson was perhaps the person most instrumental in planning and publicizing the 1955 Boycott, proposing the idea to the WPC more than a year before it was implemented. She was assisted by WPC members who included Thelma Glass,

Launched in 1934, the QM sailed the North Atlantic from 1936 to 1967, when she was retired and purchased by Long Beach to become its' tourist attraction.
Considered the 6th most haunted place in the United States, there are many documented sightings of apparitions. Not surprising since there have been close to 60 on board deaths.
Our tour guide was Kelly, enthusiastic young woman, self-described as a "Scaredy-Cat" who once locked her boyfriend out of their shared apartment for pulling a spooking prank. She has worked on the Queen Mary for nearly two years and was very knowledgeable about all things QM related, including its ghosts.
We started our tour on Deck M (level 4) in the Mauretania Room, where the 'Woman-in-White' has been seen many times by different people. This room is rented out for small parties/receptions. Three staff members were setting up the room in 1989, when they noticed a woman in a white evening gown sitting on the other side of the room, with her hands in her lap and her head down. They started cleaning and when they reached the unknown woman, one of them said to her, "Madam, we need you to move so we can mop the dance floor." The women just sat there, didn't look up or acknowledge the workers. One of the staffers went to call security and when she returned, the woman was gone. She asked her co-workers, "Where did she go?" "We don't know. After you left the room, she looked up, looked to her right, looked to her left and then just disappeared." All three workers reported seeing this apparition and said it lasted for about 10 minutes, making it the longest recorded ghost sighting. There have also been several complaints from customers using this room, which claim an uninvited women dressed in white appears in their party pictures.
We walked pass the Third Class Nursery, now a storage room for the gift shops. Over the years, several guests have complained about the sound of a child crying, coming from that room. One guest was so insistent that they had to have a janitor open the room to prove it only contained boxes.
These doors were once the entrance to a Barbershop and a Beauty Parlor and a woman has been seen walking through the locked doors.
The First Class Swimming Pool (dry since it docked here) has the most paranormal activity with a supposed vortex for spirits in the locker room.
To get to the bow we had to walk through part of this years' "Dark Harbor" new Halloween maze inspired by the real QM murder of a chef who was locked in his own walk-in oven by disgruntled sailors. No photos were permitted of the maze.
The forward room storage in the bow is used to store the rope used to tie up the ship when in port. This is the part of the ship that was damaged in 1942 when the QM, acting as a WWII troop carrier, dissected the HMS Curacao, killing 338 men.
Also in this area is a grate that looks down several levels to where WWII prisoners of war were crammed into a very hot, dark storage area with buckets for toilets. Hence this area has had several documented paranormal activities.
Our last stop was the broiler room.
The narrow cat walks and ladders have been replaced with sturdy walk ways and stairs suitable for tourist.
A massive, eerie room with several ghost sightings.
During a routine drill in 1966, automatic watertight doors were closed and a young engineer was crushed to death by this No 13 door.
Considering its long history, many deaths, it is not surprising the Queen Mary is a hotbed for all types of paranormal activities. Many of which have been captured on several TV and Internet shows.

On the way to dropping my son off at the station yesterday morning, so he could catch the train to school, an online post that one of my nieces had recently shared came to mind. I don't know why. Anyway the post was along these lines:
Make a list of all the things you like doing
Make a list of all the things you are doing
Compare the two – amend accordingly.
I turned to my son and told him that his Dad would probably be picking him up this afternoon as I'd just decided to go to the beach. Now it may seem a bit cruel to tell a child, on his way to school, that you are spending the day at the beach, but he took it well. I made a quick return home and checked my husband would be able to pick our son up that afternoon, grabbed my sunglasses, a bottle of water, apologised to my dog for not taking her with me and hit the road, shouting over my shoulder to my husband that he might like to take the dog out for a walk.
I love a good road trip and a trip to the seaside from where I live constitutes quite a road trip. It was going to take a while to get to my chosen destination which was Southwold in Suffolk. This gave me a chance to listen to Woman's Hour. Thankfully they weren't talking about female genital mutilation for a change but they did promise that tomorrow they would be talking about 'breasts'. Apart from an incomprehensible restriction to 40 miles an hour for long stretches of the A12 dual carriageway the trip was very smooth.
I had decided to make my first stop on the High Street in Southwold to gather provisions and reading material for a perfect time on the beach. Using my Parking Angel I managed to secure a place very close to my shop of choice. However the parking was restricted to half an hour so I threw my 'cloak of invisibility' over my car to ensure I didn't get a ticket, if I was a little longer. It worked!
My dear friend Claire had told me about a fabulous bakery in Southwold owned by a cousin of hers called Rebecca. The bakery is called the Two Magpies Bakery and is, as she promised, fabulous. It was just full of the most delicious treats.
As there was a bit of a queue I had a great opportunity to examine what was on offer. It was very difficult to make any choices without looking as though I was feeding a whole group of Boy Scouts. Rebecca wasn't there but her charming daughter Betsy was and she helped me with my bread selection, suggesting the white sourdough. I noticed that as well as their usual daily breads they also have a special which changes every day. I thought Sunday's offering of Cheddar, red onion and cracked black pepper sounded wonderful. Made with 100% rye flour with chia, alfalfa, hemp and linseed. I'm going to have to ensure my next visit is on a Sunday. Or maybe on a Saturday with a stop over for Sunday as they have a pizza night on Saturday and they sound great too. I also went for some individual lemon meringue tarts and billionaire's shortbread.So much more aspirational than common or garden millionaire's shortbread. They were to take home and share with the boys. But really there was so much choice I had to stop myself from choosing one of everything. But I needed something for my lunch. I went for a huge roll filled with hummus, fire roasted pepper, olive and rocket. Betsy loaded me up with a loaf of bread to bring back for her godmother and I was off. There are a few tables in the bakery but there were already taken and I had promised myself a day on the beach, so that was fine.
Now all I needed was a good book. It was so lovely to see that Southwold still has a bookshop. I was completely charmed by it but when I was looking for a hyperlink to put in this blog I found that the independent bookshop look was deceptive and that it is really owned by Waterstone's. Which is okay but doesn't deserve a hyperlink! No wonder it was so well stocked. It was staffed by a charming young man who was discussing an up coming local cricket match with a friend and suggesting some one else should captain the team as he might be running a bit late. The perfect conversation to overhear on the perfect day. For some reason I wanted to tell you that he had ginger hair, which he did, but I've decided it might not be appropriate, so strike that from the record.I made my way to the beach. Clambering over sand dunes I found the perfect spot to eat my lunch. On opening my bag I was devastated to see on the label that had I managed to find myself a seat in the Two Magpies bakery my roll would have been served with homemade coleslaw and kettle chips. I felt robbed. However I had the better view and a very soft seat amongst the sand dunes.
The sea was a very dirty brown and even further out could only manage a sandy colour but there were very pretty little mulit-coloured beach huts and a pier.
The beach was mostly sandy with some pebbles, but for the committed beach comber like myself, no shells and no flotsam or jetsam. Southwold has the reputation of being an amber hunters dream, but despite a good walk along the shore line I wasn't able to find any.
After a good read and a good walk I decided to start my travels back down the coast with a visit to the ever pretty Walberswick. To get to the car park by the dunes in Walberswick you have to cross a narrow metal bridge with a difficult twist in it. The guy before me had managed to scrape all down one side of his car in his attempt to navigate this obstacle. It's the sort of bridge that makes you feel you must have come the wrong way. I imagine his enjoyment of the beautiful beach and dunes was tempered by the fact that he had a permanent reminder of his day out. It wasn't the sort of scratch that would polish out.
I was amazed to see a lady swimming in the sea here. She was in a red t-shirt and that made me wonder if this had been a spontaneous impulse to throw herself into the freezing muddy waters or if she was wearing the shirt for sun protection. When I got back from my walk she had drifted down the beach a good 200 yards. Should I hang around and keep an eye on her I wondered. But bearing in mind that I was at the seaside and I hadn't had a cream tea yet I pressed on convincing myself that she was probably just swimming home.
As I clambered up the sand dunes to find my car I realised that it was me that had drifted 200 yards down the beach. I headed back down onto the flat sand and using the lady in the red t-shirt as an effective marking buoy I found my trail again.I had arranged with some friends who live quite locally to pop in and see them on my way back. I was going to stop and do my meditation with them before hitting the A12 again. I told them I'd be there about 4pm, but on my way out of Walberswick I spotted two tea rooms. Well, as this day was all about doing what you really love, I pulled over and made my way into one of the tea gardens. I ordered an almond and lemon cake and a green tea. I knew my friends wouldn't mind if I was a tiny bit late. I finally got home, after dropping Betsy's loaf off to her godmother at about 9.30pm. It had been a lovely day. My son was already in bed but my husband and I sawed into the sourdough loaf that Betsy had recommended and I can honestly say that it was the best sourdough loaf I have ever tasted.

Title: An Unwanted Guest
Author: Shari Lapena
Publisher: Pamela Dorman Books
Publication Date: August 7, 2018
Page Count: 304
My rating: 4 stars
About the book:
The twisty new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and A Stranger in the House
A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away
It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing–maybe even romantic–weekend away. It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery.
So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity–and all contact with the outside world–the guests settle in for the long haul.
Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead–it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.
Within the snowed-in paradise, something–or someone–is picking off the guests one by one. And there's nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm.
While the story within the pages of An Unwanted Guest isn't exactly a new one it is an addictive read. I've seen this plot several times over the years with strangers coming together and the murders begin but it never really gets old.
Mitchell's Inn is located deep within the woods in the Catskills making a wonderful getaway destination. This particular weekend several guests are scheduled to arrive just as a snow storm is taking place.
After everyone is settled in they find themselves truly cut off from the rest of the world due to the weather but a few could definitely use the cozy time. No one ever thought the weekend would turn into the devastation that it did all beginning with the first body found at the stairs in what looks like an accident at first glance.
The beginning of this one is a bit jumbled as introductions are made to the various players in the deadly game of chance. However, once getting to know everyone and the action truly begins the fear and paranoia sets in and just oozes off the pages of the story. Any one of the guests or staff could be a killer so the reader needs to sort through the twists and turns to get to the satisfying conclusion.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via Edelweiss.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Mail delivery service resumed on Thursday for a neighborhood in Southeast D.C. after it had been suspended for over a month following a letter carrier's concern about a loose dog in the area.
Residents on the 2800 blocks of Buena Vista Terr. SE and 28th St. SE said they noticed that their mail was no longer being delivered sometime between mid-to-late February.
"I got no mail and like you just said, terrified that you're going to get that overcharge on bills you didn't pay because you got no mail," said Clarence Batie.
The reason they were getting no mail delivery was because the United States Postal Service (USPS) had suspended service because the letter carrier for those streets had been "repeatedly charged" by a pit bull that lived in one of those homes.
In a statement, USPS said safety of their letter carriers is there first priority and that "postal regulations require that a letter carrier not attempt delivery of the mail to any address where an unrestrained dog is present."
This week, USPS released its annual dog bite statistics ahead of National Dog Bite Prevention Week (April 9-15) and it showed that 6,755 letter carriers were bitten by dogs in 2016 (including 19 in Washington, D.C.), an increase of over 200 cases from 2015.
The dog in question, was a 10-month-old pit bull named Sky that lives in a home on the 2800 block of Buena Vista Terr. SE.
Neighbors said the sympathized with the letter carrier, but wanted to know why their homes had delivery stopped.
"Penalize him, not the whole neighborhood. That's how I feel," said Michelle Willis.
In a statement, the USPS said if "dogs are roaming loose on a street, a carrier can refuse delivery to the entire street."
Because of the suspension of service, residents had to pick up their mail at the nearby Frederick Douglass Post Office. Residents said they were never notified of this and had to figure it out for themselves.
A spokesperson for USPS said residents that have their service suspended are supposed to be notified by mail, but could not verify if that occurred in this situation.
The dog's owner, Andre Harvey, said he is sorry for the problem he caused for the neighborhood.
"My fault for having the dog out not on the leash and not contained in the yard or anything like that and just letting her run free," said Harvey.
Harvey said the letter carrier expressed her concerns about his dog with him in late January. He said he told her he would keep the dog inside when she delivered mail, but admitted that at some point after that the dog was out when the mail carrier came by.
Harvey's mom, Antoinette, added that after that incident they talked with the letter carrier's supervisor and claimed they hadn't let that happen again. She added that meeting took place in early March and the mail service should not have continued to be suspended.
"So why is y'all still drilling on the dog being out there a whole month ago," said Antoinette Harvey.
On top of the issue with the family's dog, at some point the letter carrier had approached the home to talk about the dog, but was threatened by someone at the home. Andre Harvey said it was not him and does not know who it was.
The United States Postal Inspection Service, the law enforcement branch of the USPS, investigated the threat and told DCW50 News at 10 that it was resolved on February 28th.
A spokesperson for the USPS confirmed the threat incident was addressed, but added it was considered separate from the loose pit bull incident and the latter had to be addressed before mail service resumed.
Mail service resumed this past Thursday.
But going forward, the president of the local union representing letter carriers said the threats made by someone at the home is the bigger concern than the loose dog issue resuming.
"If that person doesn't live in that address, then that's somebody in the community, probably, and is she safe to make delivery in the community," said Robert Williams, president of Capitol Branch 142 of the National Association of Letter Carriers.
If you have issues you would like DCW50 News at 10 to investigate, send your story to email@example.com.

4 Bedrooms | 3.5 Bath | Mountain Views
Jackson, Wyoming
From $3,500 per Week
Overlook, Jackson, Wyoming Vacation Rental
Overlook a sweeping, airy, modern house of glass and wood sits high on Gros Ventre West, surveying ponds, grassy ranch land and the great, lofty span of the Tetons and the Snake River Range. The dramatic composition of mountains and valley is framed by a continuous wall of glass running along the front of the house, giving Overlook its name and its raison detre. Groves of rustling aspens encircle the lawns and terraces.
Overlook is long and open, every room is attentive to the incredible panorama outside. The house fills up with light by day; stars crowd the windows at night. A second-floor great room incorporates the living area, dining room and glass walled kitchen into one bright, handsome space. A smooth leather couch and armchair face a wood-burning fieldstone fireplace, a spare candelabra illuminates the dining room table. Painted wood walls, rich fabrics and peaked ceilings with exposed beams all add to Overlooks atmosphere of peaceful simplicity and deep comfort.
The big master suite is on the main floor, just steps off the great room. The rustic hewn-wood king size bed faces a striking asymmetrical stone fireplace, and terraces line both sides of the room. An oriental rug in gorgeous russets, greens and golds is spread upon the wood floor, and grounds the spacious room in vivid color. In the master bath, windows surround the deep, jetted tub on all three sides, while skylights light up the space from overhead. The master bath also has its own sauna, which opens to the terrace, the trees and the cool mountain air.
An open, sunny staircase leads from the great room to the downstairs living area, where a cheery red wood stove, television and big sectional couch create a welcoming, tranquil refuge. Three guest bedrooms are on the lower level one, just off the sitting area, has a queen bed spread with a lovely checkered quilt, a door to the grounds and a private bath. The other two bedrooms stand on the opposite end of the house, and share a hallway and a bathroom between them. The first has a traditional brass, queen size bed flanked by reading lights, and a door that opens to the lawns and the hammock. The last is a charming bedroom, perfect for children, with two twin beds waiting side-by-side, spread with matching coverlets. This guest room, like the others, has a private entrance/egress to the outside world and all its untold adventures. Moose, elk and deer graze on the hillside among the aspens, just past Overlooks deck.

Hanoi - The growth of Vietnam Airlines is continuing. The airline has recorded a 6.7% increase in passenger traffic in 2017 compared to 2016.
The number of passengers transported by Vietnam Airlines reached 26.5 million last year. Freight traffic growth was even stronger with a 19% jump to 343,000 tons. This progress is the logical consequence of the increasing demand to air travel from and to Vietnam, the bilateral commercial partnerships with other airline operators within the Skyteam alliance, and a modernization of the fleet that was accompanied by the high-quality onboard services
The airline continues to add new long-haul flights on Tans-Europe and Trans-Atlantic routes. The new routes will be accompanied by the arrival of additional Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Vietnam Airlines long-haul fleet currently consists of 21 aircraft (10 A350 and 11 787-9). This number will increase to 32 aircraft by 2020, divided into 14 Airbus A350-900s and 18 Boeing 787-9s.
The medium-haul fleet will also strengthen as no less than twenty new routes will be opened between Vietnam and China in 2018, the opportunity for Vietnam Airlines to launch its newly hired A321neos.

The Hebei Iron & Steel Group is said to be exiting 12 private steel firms within the province after attempting a restructuring exercise at the companies for three years, news website caixin.com reported Wednesday. The group now aims to focus on managing its own assets, the report said, also suggesting that the private firms had sought the withdrawal. Hebei Iron secured ten percent stakes in each of the 12 private steel companies back in 2010, with a view to lending a helping hand in the restructuring of the firms by injecting the group's technologies, management knowhow and goodwill, but without any capital investment, a source from group was quoted as saying. The state-owned group is the largest steel producer in China.

Festival History
Originating in Sydney under the name of ArtPol in 1975, the festival was the brainchild of the Federation of Polish Women in Australia. PolArt festivals are held every three years in capital cities around Australia. They have been held in Sydney (1975, 1991, 2003), Adelaide (1981, 1994, 2009), Brisbane (1988, 2000), Melbourne (1984, 1997, 2015), Hobart (2006) and Perth (2012), with each festival growing larger and more popular than the previous.
While strongly rooted in Polish folkloric song and dance, the festivals have grown to include theatre, film, visual arts, music, and literature. Its popularity has even expanded with artists from New Zealand now also participating.
This truly remarkable community initiative unites Polish and Australian communities across Australia with first, second and now third generation Polish youth the main participants.
The festival has helped promote and contribute to the multicultural character of Australia.

Chiến lược của tổ chức này là tạo ra một nền tảng toàn cầu ở Thung lũng Silicon, trong đó có các doanh nghiệp, kỹ sư, nhà khoa học, nhà phát minh, chuyên gia công nghệ, giáo sư từ khắp nơi trên thế giới có thể trao đổi những ý tưởng kinh doanh và thông tin. Vietnamese Strategic Ventures Network (VSVN) is the leading worldwide network of professionals supporting the global Vietnamese technology and business community. About Us VSVN is the leading hub for networking and doing business with Vietnamese professionals around the world. We have nearly 1500 members across the globe with chapters in Northern and Southern California. VSVN's flagship networking program is Tech Connect, which connects professionals around the world interested in exploring opportunities in the Vietnamese business community. VSVN also hosts bi-monthly meetings of various topics of interest to the aspiring entrepreneur. VSVN's affiliate organization, VSVN Foundation, organizes and hosts various events designed to support entrepreneurship and innovation in the Vietnamese business community through education and training under two core programs referred to as the Entrepreneurs' Academy and the Open Books, Open I.T. project. Through these three programs, along with other events throughout the course of the year, VSVN offers unparalleled networking opportunities as well as organizational support for the experienced and aspiring entrepreneur in the Vietnamese business community. http://www.vsvn.org/about-us ---------------------------------------------------------------------- An Interview With Huy Do Networking with Vietnam: Group's leader sees rewards for risks By John Boudreau Mercury News When Huy Do took over as chairman and president of the Vietnamese Strategic Ventures Network in 2004, the organization's dwindling members wouldn't have been enough to staff a small start-up. Do and other leaders turned the organization around with a lot of hard work, a shift in vision and a dash of serendipity. In other words, the usual ingredients for Silicon Valley success. The networking group now has 1,500 members, a chapter in Southern California and plans to open an office in Vietnam soon. Do, an attorney who specializes in international and intellectual property law, did not want the organization to simply replicate other valley tech networks, such as TiE, the Indus Entrepreneurs or or the Asia America MultiTechnology Association, he recalled. "People would say, 'They have bigger networks. And I don't care if you are a venture capitalist of Vietnamese descent or Italian descent. I just want the money!' " he said. So Do and other members of the VSVN leadership team focused on their areas of expertise - doing business in Vietnam and the local Vietnamese community. The rebranded organization also got more than a little boost from good timing: Vietnam, which just recently joined the World Trade Organization, has become the new hot spot for global entrepreneurs. In August, VSVN hosted a conference in Palo Alto that drew hundreds of participants, from officials from Vietnam's Communist government and Ho Chi Minh City start-ups to local VCs and representatives from Google. Do recently sat down to talk about his vision for his growing organization, the changes occurring in Vietnam and the sometimes rocky relations between Viet Kieu, or overseas Vietnamese, and their homeland. Here are edited excerpts from the conversation: QUnlike other groups - the Indians, Chinese, Taiwanese - many Vietnamese first came to the United States as refugees fleeing the Communists who took over South Vietnam in 1975. How has the Vietnamese community here reacted to efforts to develop business links between the valley and the Southeast Asian country? AIn 2001, when we held a conference at Stanford, we saw an organized effort to protest. We haven't seen that since then. We see increased membership. We see increased non-Vietnamese joining our network. We see investors going to Vietnam. But we don't see proportional e-mails protesting us. I can only speak anecdotally, but it seems people are beginning to accept the fact that there is a group of people from the valley doing business in Vietnam. They are not doing it to endorse the political underpinnings of the government. QCertainly, the United States and Vietnam have inched closer during the past six years. AThe reality is, the U.S. government has endorsed Vietnam. The BTA (Bilateral Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the United States in 2001) laid a path for Vietnam to join the WTO because the requirements for the BTA were in line with the requirements for the WTO. I still see people having issues with Vietnamese people in the United States doing business in Vietnam. But I think they are recognizing these guys are not endorsing anything. I wouldn't say the tension has gone away, but it's definitely been reduced. QThough the Vietnam War ended more than 30 years ago, the wounds still exist. ADialogue about this is very hard because there is a lot of emotional turmoil. It's not un-based. These people lost a lot. They had businesses. They were professionals. They were having a good life and it was totally turned upside-down. They lost friends in the war. It's a tragedy. Those are losses you can't get back. But if you look back and see how Vietnam was in 1975 and in the early '80s, and look at what has transpired since then, it's a different place. Hopefully, it has been transformed on a permanent basis and it's not just a façade. I think it's on a permanent basis. There are too many foreign investors there now. QIs the Vietnamese government, which realizes the important role Viet Kieu can play in the economic development of the nation, doing anything to help improve relations with overseas Vietnamese? AI think they are. There are two types of Viet Kieu: the ones who go back and start companies, and those who are very successful in large U.S. companies. They have decision-making authority with Sun Microsystems or Texas Instruments or Microsoft or Intel. They are behind the scenes pushing their companies to go to Vietnam. The Vietnam government sees both of them. I think they are reaching out. I don't know if it's enough, but they are reaching out. There is the new visa (classification). If you are a Vietnamese and you live abroad, they will give you a yearlong visa. They also have a special Vietnamese Abroad Committee. The committee is under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When government officials visit here, they reach out to community leaders. QDo you visit with high-ranking Vietnamese officials? AIt's useful to talk, but given my role at VSVN, I want to keep everything business-focused. So I'm careful of what I do because what I do reflects on VSVN. I don't want my actions to reflect on VSVN in any way other than as commercial ones. We are a business support group. It's best to keep VSVN focused on what we are about. QLike any developing country, Vietnam offers both rewards and risks to investors, multinationals and entrepreneurs. What are the risks of operating in Vietnam? AThe biggest risks are knowing how to work with the government, and complying with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (which has anti-bribery provisions and guidelines for accounting transparency). Under the act, you can't give gifts to government officials for any purpose. But sometimes that doesn't jibe well with local practices. Culturally, you take people out to dinner and give them small gifts. So you have to put in guidelines for people to comply with. People don't speak English very well, so there can be misunderstandings. There is a risk that disputes can't be resolved with a sophisticated understanding of international law because it's new there. They've just entered the WTO. Judges there aren't trained to the standards multinational companies are used to. So enforcement can be a tricky issue. There are still abuses in the judicial system. They don't have the independence they need without the fear of repercussions. Those are big issues companies face when they go to Vietnam. And there aren't that many licensed lawyers in Vietnam. The people there work hard and are smart, but these local lawyers aren't used to arguing big cases. QStill, from a business perspective, Vietnam is a success story. The government expects economic growth to jump from 8.2 percent last year to 9 percent in 2007. Its population of 84 million is young and companies from Intel to Google are looking at the Southeast Asian country. How would you describe the opportunities that are there now? AIn Vietnam, being the first mover is almost like having a monopoly hold on the marketplace. The structure in place there lends itself to incumbents. To displace an incumbent is very difficult. I don't think there will be three or four Web portals; I think there will be one or two, and one will have a substantial market share. Here you have three big search engines - Google, Yahoo and MSN. Vietnam is not a big enough market for three. The window of opportunity in Vietnam - to make the most money - will be in the next five years. If you have a good business plan, the right partners, you can do very well for yourself. Source

The other night I turned off the light and waited for sleep to find me. While the Sandman ran a little late getting to my bedroom I heard flip, flip, flippity-flip, flip, flippity-flip. Great, another moth. Since I heard the little annoyer as I tried drifting off to sleep my mind played out some weird scenarios. I won't go into detail but one involved the moth landing in my mouth after I fell asleep. That woke me up and I turned on the light.
I admit my intent was to kill on sight. But I didn't need to. I don't know if the light threw the little guy off or if he was just so hopped up on energy he soaked up earlier he couldn't see straight. He flew right into the wall with a moth-sized thud and slid down behind my bed. Since it was already late I decided to leave the little corpse. Perhaps the spiders would see that as a peace-offering and eat the feast I provided for them instead of nibbling on me during the night.
I turned off the light again.
About five minutes later I heard flip, flip, flippity-flip, flip, flippity-flip. Apparently, the run in to the wall only knocked him out for a few minutes. He was back to his anxious-sounding flight. I sighed and turned on the light again. He flew right at my face. Oh, I don't think so! I did my best Karate Kid wax off move and… he flew into the wall again. In my opinion, this particular moth could have really benefited from some little tiny glasses. I mean a wall is kind of a big object – even for us humans. It's even bigger for a tiny moth. C'mon, he should have been able to avoid the wall. If not the first time, definitely the second time. But he didn't. He smacked into it again. This time he never resurrected from his demise and I fell asleep.
I don't know if it's a global thing or just a regional situation but our little community has been invaded by moths this summer. An abnormal number of the cuter and more socially acceptable butterfly's cousin has descended upon us. At first, I thought it was just me being annoyed by them but then I read a friend's Facebook status lamenting the moth invasion.
They are everywhere. Two little carcasses have been lying on my bathroom floor by my hamper all weekend. It's kind of gross. I really should sweep them up.
I'm just wondering, what goes through a moth's little mind? Do you think the artificial light they crave so much gives them a high? That would explain the frenetic fluttering afterward. It's the equivalent of a meth head after a fix. Well, you know, if a meth addict could fly. Thank goodness they can't! It's annoying enough to have little moth addicts flying into walls. Could you imagine turning off the light and having a meth addict flap around your bedroom?
Okay, this just became weird. I think this is a good place to end. Now that I have planted disturbing images in your mind. You are welcome.

In the third episode of the third season of Babylon 5, various characters deal with the ever-changing status of the station. Intrigued? Then it's time for Mark to watch Babylon 5.
Trigger Warning: For discussion of imperialism, war crimes, addiction
I appreciate that this episode is like a slice of life story, but that "slice" is just… really fucking intense and chaotic. This is the new normal for the station, though. While this doesn't advance the main plot all that much, I still found it very necessary. We need to see how people are surviving, how some are thriving, how others are suffering, and what it looks like between the major battles.
Let's discuss!
The Probe
Look, I fully believe that it is possible that at some later point, we'll learn who sent the probe that threatened the station. The Narn from the Streib ship actually came back, y'all! I feel like ANYTHING is possible at this point, you know? But not giving the audience a hint to the source of it felt immensely realistic. Sometimes, shit just happens without an explanation this far out in space. Space is weird and unknown, and this episode is a fine example of that. But it's also fascinating to see how the arrival of this probe affects the various characters on the station. In particular, many of them don't even seem to care about the impending doom that is circling Babylon 5. Granted, not very many people knew about the probe, but even so. This gave me a sense of how the experience onboard the station is so different across the board. While the command staff was dealing with this absurdity, there were a hundred little dramas playing out elsewhere. Sheridan was dealing with frustrations of his own, and the probe also further complicated Dr. Franklin's already limited amount of time. That's life in the strife.
Dr. Franklin
Well, it's not like we didn't see this coming. Franklin's reliance on stims was confirmed last season, and now it's gotten so bad that when he tries to go off them during one shift, he turns into a complete asshole. Like yes, you're stressed and overworked, but STOP YELLING AT PEOPLE, DR. FRANKLIN. Take a nap! Like five naps! Naps are great! (I'm also yelling this at myself, as I am notoriously terrible at taking naps. I've probably taken about ten in my whole life. I KNOW.) I do understand that he's under such terrible pressures all the time and that he's working in a department that is massively underfunded. But this is only gonna get worse. Garibaldi knows this! And I was pleased that the episode stuck him alongside Franklin so that someone could approach him from a place of empathy rather than judgment. Still, Dr. Franklin is on his own journey, and while Garibaldi will probably end up being an important part of that, Dr. Franklin is going to have to want to stop first. And right now, I don't think he's at that step.
This episode arrives directly after one in which we get a glimpse of Londo's kindness, however brief that might be, and it means that it's hard to remember the good he does. When Na'Far arrives on Babylon 5 and must consult Londo, we are given a display of absolute cruelty. It's monstrous to watch Londo toy with Na'Far, to tease him about the destruction of his homeworld and the subjugation of his people. Is it necessary? Well, there's a split in opinions, and the audience is clearly supposed to see this as a horrific moment. It is, however, the final straw for both Vir and Londo. Vir openly criticizes his boss, and it's because of this that Londo seeks out Delenn to see if she'll take Vir for an ambassadorial position.
Why? Well, in his own twisted logic and understanding of the situation, this is to protect Vir. It'll keep him away from Londo, and it will keep him away from the reality of the Centauri occupation of Narn. I can squint at this and see an act of good will, but I mostly see something else: Londo wanting to get rid of someone who will act as a conscience. Vir has gotten more and more bold over the course of this show, and it's clear he's not going to stop speaking his mind. Maybe this is better for Vir's career, and maybe he'll have an easier time, but I think this is a bad move for all involved. I actually thought that Londo was going to stop this at the last second, but I was tricked by G'Kar's plot into thinking he wouldn't leave. Holy shit, he's really gone, isn't he?
G'Kar, thankfully, is not. I know I said this while watching the episode, but G'Kar's story just gets sadder and sadder. Na'Far has some good intentions, and I understood why he felt the need to ask G'Kar to come back. Perhaps he was compelled by other means, but he saw the safety of the Narn as his primary concern. I wonder how much of that was intentional, because I'm with G'Kar on this: the Centauri want the Narn to fight with one another. And what better way than to install a "new" leader who brings with them the promise that everyone's family members will be arrested and possibly tortured if the old leader isn't returned?
G'Kar, unsurprisingly, is willing to give up his own life to save others. It's a matter of honor and pride, and it's exactly what the Centauri want to extinguish in the Narn. From Londo's own mouth, y'all! That's what he admitted! That's why it was so meaningful to see the other Narn reject Na'Far and insist that G'Kar stay. They know what the Centauri are trying to do: kill the desire for a resistance force. If they can break the spirit of the Narn, they'll get exactly what they want.
Not yet, at least. G'Kar stays, and I'm happy that's the case.

Last night I dreamed but not of Manderlay.
It was instead of the Oak Ridge Cemetery, in Springfield
where death evokes life.
The moon bathed everything with its silvery beams
making it easy
to find my way through row upon row of grave markers.
I was drawn inexplicably to the large tomb
with its tall obelisk, a smaller version of the one on
the Potomac in Washington, DC.
I heard sounds coming from within and walked by his statue.
Entering I stood by the massive granite cenotaph over his grave.
The sounds grew louder.
Abe Lincoln was sobbing in his grave.
Magical Death Poems Focused thought on Dream Gracious thoughts on Lincoln
Have something to say about the poem?

KYLIE Jenner thrives on controversy, especially when it comes to Instagram snaps.
So when Kim Kardashian's 17-year-old sister posed yet again in her underwear on the social media site, hardly anyone seemed to mind.
That was, until you took a closer look at the shameless photo.
Causing a whole new type of controversy, Kylie attempted to plug a new fake tan brand while committing the first sin of home tanning – streaks.
Posting a selfie from her bedroom wearing a tiny pair of black shorts and crop top, it appears the KUWTK star missed a massive line down the front of her thigh.
Caitlyn Jenner's daughter captioned the snap: "My @cocoabrowntan from @CarterMarrisa - love it! #SelfTan #CocoaBrown #1HourTan."
But luckily for Kylie, her toned body managed to distract most of her nine million followers.
One impressed fan wrote: "Body goals or what?!"
Another added: "How do you get your body like that?! Oh my."

Toys for Tots: Balance Hair Spa Teams Up with Santa again this 2009 Holiday Season/
Balance Hair Spa, the premier salon and spa in Chester County, PA, aids Toys For Tots in providing Christmas gifts for needy children. For further information, contact Biff Piner, Co-Owner and Salon Coordinator, at (484) 872-8457.
Exton, Pennsylvania, November 14, 2009 — With the arrival of the 2009 holiday season, Balance Hair Spa is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps to give back to the community it serves with its annual Toys for Tots drive. This year, with your help, Balance Hair Spa hopes to collect hundreds of toys benefiting the less fortunate members of our community, particularly during this holiday season.
Unfortunately during the holiday season, underprivileged children feel left out and wonder if they will experience the joy of Christmas. Participating in the toy drive gives Balance Hair Spa the opportunity to make a difference and help bring happiness to many disadvantaged children in the local area this Christmas. You can MAKE A DIFFERENCE by donating!
Bring a new, unwrapped toy(s) to your appointment from November 14 through December 15, 2009.
In 2008, Marines distributed gifts to 7.6 million children in over 620 communities nationwide. Locally, the Chester County unit of Toys for Tots delivered toys to over 5,500 needy children!
Toys for Tots, the U.S. Marine Corps' premier community action program and one of the nation's flagship Christmas charitable causes, is dedicated to "delivering a message of hope and bringing the joy of Christmas" to America's needy children. By uniting members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign, Toys for Tots plays an active role in the development of one of the nation's most valuable natural resources -- our children -- thereby contributing to better communities in the future.
Balance Hair Spa invites you to share in the holiday spirit by donating new, unwrapped toys from November 14 through December 15, 2009. Toys can be dropped off at Balance Hair Spa in Eagleview's Town Center at 545 Wellington Square, Exton, PA 19341 from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Tuesday and Thursday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Wednesday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Friday and 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday.
Toy drop-off ends on Tuesday, December 15, 2009.
About U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation
Toys for Tots is the Marine Corps' premier community action program, one of the nation's flagship charitable endeavors, an American tradition and a national treasure. For 60 years, Marines have been the unchallenged leaders in looking after needy children at Christmas. The Toys for Tots message of hope for the future has motivated youngsters to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. Toys for Tots has earned the distinction as a program which plays an important role in helping youngsters emerge from a background of poverty to adulthood as assets to society. Toys for Tots not only benefits children, but also has a positive impact on communities, on businesses -- large and small, on the Marine Corps and on the nation.
