During the last focusing of Hiro's broken katana, you can see at the end of the broken katana blade piece that Hiro holds in his left hand, that it's not even made out of metal, it's plastic or fiberglass.
When Ando shows Hiro the comic, he appears murdered directly by Sylar. However, in "5 Years Gone", Future Peter said that he died in the nuclear explosion.
When Peter and Claire are talking about Peter going nuclear, he closes the door so that it is ajar. When the view switches to Claire and back to Peter the door is open wider than it was in the previous shot.
Continuity error: In "Seven Minutes to Midnight", Mohinder is said to have been born two years after his sister died. Now it is revealed that it was only a matter of months.
When they are about to enter Isaac's apartment, Ando shows to Hiro the comic book page in which Hiro's drawn thrusting his sword into Sylar's abdomen. If you pay a lot of attention on the close-up of that page, you can see that although the page beside it is partially folded, the drawing is obviously of Hiro saving a little girl from being hit by a car, a drawing already published in another "9th Wonders" issue and not related to Hiro in the future.
The text on the windshield of the car that Bennet, Parkman and Sprague is taking first says Automatic but later in the same scene it says Low Mileage 1 Owner.
Goof: when Peter is sketching in the book he's filling in the picture with a color pencil and when they cut from the picture to him he's holding a normal sketch pencil.
Mohinder (about the company): As far as I can tell, you're all a bunch of untrustworthy goondas.
'Goonda' is the Hindi word for member of a crime gang, thug, troublemaker.
Sylar: You were right mom, I am meant to be special just like you wanted. I can be anything, I can even be President.
Hiro: I can't kill a man who is asking for forgiveness. It's not the Bushido code. Everyone deserves a second chance.
Peter: Look, I found you in Odessa, we saved each other, you end up being my niece. This isn't just random, okay? This is destiny.
Claire: My father sacrificed himself so I could have a life, not a destiny. You can't save me, Peter, not this time.
Peter: And Nathan can?
Claire: Nathan can keep me safe.
Peter: Safe? You can't get hurt! You're here to save the world.
Claire: How?!
Sylar: I think I'm going to do something bad.
Mohinder: You're a murderer, you don't get the luxury of regret.
Sylar: You don't understand. I think I'm going to kill a lot more people. A lot more. I understood it before, the killing. I had a reason; to take what others didn't deserve. It was natural selection.
Mohinder: What are you talking about?
Sylar: An apocalypse. A massacre. Half the city gone in an instant. They mean nothing. They're innocent. There's no gain, so why would I do it? What possible reason would I have for killing so many?
Niki: (after being dragged through a wall) You do that again I will kill you.
D.L.: You're lucky I didn't leave your ass stuck in a wall after what you've done.
Molly: (as Mohinder draws a blood sample) You're different from the other doctors. They're much better at this.
Sylar: It's just…maybe I don't have to be special. That it's okay just to be a normal watchmaker. Can't you just tell me that's enough?
Virginia Gray: Why would I tell you that when I know you could be so much more?
Peter: I'm terrified. I have to find a nuclear man and I don't know if I can contain all that power.
Claire: Then run the other way!
Peter: I can't.
Claire: Why not?
Peter: Because if we save ourselves, who's gonna save everyone else?
Ando: Are you sure you are ready? For this? (showing 9th Wonders were Hiro kills Sylar)
Hiro: A hero's journey takes him down many dark paths before returning to light
Nathan: So this Ted Sprague guy blew up your house? (Claire looks at Peter behind Nathan, who nods)
Claire: Yeah. Pretty much.
Peter: See, maybe I'm not the bomb. Maybe this Ted Sprague guy is.
Nathan: But in your dream, you blew up New York.
Peter: I also had a dream I could fly, and we both know how that turned out for you.
Claire: You can fly? (Quietly) That's cool.
Peter: What's wrong?
Claire: I'm not normal. I tried to pretend that I was and I just hurt everyone; my mom, my dad. I ruined everything because of what I am. I hated it. But you – when I met you I finally felt like I was part of something.
Peter: It's funny. I felt the same thing when I met you.
Hiro: Future Hiro killed so much, he forgot it should be hard.
Peter: Claire!!!
Ted: What's he doing?
Mr. Bennet: He's absorbing your ability.
Matt: He's gotta make it stop!
Sylar: You were right mom. I am meant to be special just like you wanted. I can be anything. I can even be president.
Micah: Who are you? How did you do that?
Candace: I can make you see anything I want. Makes kinda hard to get away, huh?
Micah: Where's my mom?
Candace: (Mutes the sound on the TV) Look, I don't want to hurt you. I like you. But if you don't listen to what Mr. Linderman says. Well, I'll show you things that will seriously mess you up for life. So, you need to behave. Okay?
Hiro: Now the hard part... (Japanese)
Ando: Why are you smiling? (Japanese)
Hiro: It's exciting. This is our chance to change the future. (Japanese)
Ando: But how? How will we know what to do? (Japanese)
Hiro: I have Mr. Isaac's comic book. It's not finished. (Japanese)
It only has the pictures, not the words. (Japanese)
Ando: We could be talking about anything. (Japanese)
Hiro: Let's go ask Mr. Isaac! He'll know what we say! (Japanese)
Don't worry New York! We will save you!
Angela: (To Nathan): Can you be the one we need?
Claire (To Peter): My destiny is not to shoot you. The universe can not be that lame.

Some of the things I love about traveling are seeing things that I have never before, being immersed in a foreign language, and tasting dishes I have never tried before. One of the best introductions to a new culture before actually going there is going to a local restaurant which a native from that culture recommends.
Darya was recommended by a Persian friend and fellow foodie as the place she goes whenever she doesn't feel like cooking, but wants authentic Persian food. Before going to Darya, the only Persian food I had ever eaten was always at the home of friends, so not only was it authentic, by made with care and the freshest of ingredients.
Walking into to beautiful ornate restaurant was a shocking change from the bland nondescript exterior located next to a Smart & Final on busy Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica. A beautiful crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the room and the walls have delicate gold leafed accents showcasing a painting of the sea (Darya means Sea and is the name of one of the daughters of the owners). Even during lunch in the middle of the week, the room was packed with a variety of people from families, to office workers, and dressed up ladies who lunch. The predominant language was Persian, always a good sign in a Persian restaurant.
I was greeted with a plate of raw quartered onions with butter and flat bread while I perused the menu.
There were so many options that I had trouble deciding, especially since I did not know the names of the dishes my Persian friends made for me, so I had no idea what I had eaten before at their home. I chose the skewers of Filet Mignon ($12.99) with salad and a substitution of Lubio Polo ($1 more) for the regular rice.
The salad was dressed simply with lemon juice and oil, adding a fresh zest to the meat, rice and vegetables on the plate. I asked for my steak very rare and was very pleasantly surprised that it was served as I ordered it, nice and red in the center, and with 8 oz of Filet Mignon on one skewer, this is a great value for the money. There was a container of a condiment on the table for the meat called Sumac, which my waiter explained was made from poison ivy and poison oak! I just did not find it necessary to add anything to my juicy tender meat, but the taste is a bit smoky and fragrant, so you might want to try it. The skewered vegetables of green and yellow peppers, tomatoes, and onions were all slightly crunchy, but cooked through, a perfect balance of flavors. The Lubio Polo, a dish of Basmati rice, green beans, tomato sauce and diced filet, was a complex symphony of flavors that I could easily become addicted to eating; I literally could not stop taking a bite every other forkful.
The fresh flowers on the table were my dessert since I was too full to even finish my plate, much less eat anything else.

Looking for Someone to Do Your Taxes for You for Free? FTB Has 250,000 ReadyReturns Available for Taxpayers at Its Website
Released March 11, 2008
The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) today announced that more than 250,000 completed tax returns are available on its Website at www.ftb.ca.gov and encourages taxpayers to see if they have one waiting for them.
"ReadyReturn is as easy as it gets," said State Controller and FTB Chair John Chiang. "This program takes existing information and completes the return at no cost to the taxpayer."
ReadyReturn reduces the tax-filing burden for qualified individuals by using wage and withholding data already provided to FTB by employers to complete their tax returns for them. Taxpayers may accept the return as completed, make changes, or choose to use another filing method entirely. Taxpayers choosing to e-file their ReadyReturn can expect to get their refunds in 7 days or less. Last year, more than two-thirds of all California taxpayers received refunds that averaged more than $850.
Taxpayers may be eligible for ReadyReturn if for the 2006 tax return they were single, had no dependents, took the standard deduction, whose only source of tax payments was withholding, and in 2007 had only one employer.
FTB has received favorable comments from ReadyReturn filers. Recently, one taxpayer remarked, "My experience was more than positive and it's something that should be offered across the board."
Visit the FTB Website to read other comments from taxpayers and get more information about ReadyReturn. Taxpayers can also find other helpful information such as how to get a refund fast, pay electronically, and get answers to tax questions.
FTB encourages taxpayers not eligible for ReadyReturn to use CalFile, FTB's free, direct-to-government, e-file program. It is available to taxpayers in both English and Spanish who file the 540 2EZ, 540A and, to a limited degree, the 540 long form. Taxpayers who have questions about state tax filing can call FTB toll-free at 800.852.5711, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The Franchise Tax Board is responsible for administering California's Personal Income Tax and the Corporation Tax. FTB also administers the Homeowner and Renter Assistance program, other non-tax programs, and delinquent debt collection functions.

- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip CookiesMy daughter has just told me that she does not like nuts in her cookies.My head whips around, my eyes wide and disbelieving. What?? For one horrible split second I imagine endless days and months and years stretched before me, a long lifetime without nuts in my baked goods. I remember the melancholy of having to bake nut-free for my brother, who didn't li […]
- Garlic Lemon Butter ShrimpWhew. It's been two absolutely hectic weeks and I feel like I'm coming out of a long and rather challenging gauntlet. My boss was here from overseas (Yes, I have a boss! So when I say I am a worker bee I really do mean it!) and we had a series of intense meetings. That's not to say that all this lay heavy on my shoulders. Intense yes, but rewarding and e […]
- Caramel Croissant PuddingHave you ever had one of those days when you just needed caramel, croissants, and rum in the morning? Don't we all just have days like that? When only sugar, booze, and French boulangerie, will help?Well, if you are better able to manage your feelings, going out for a run or finding peace in your yoga class instead of calories in your pantry, then absolute […]
- Lemon Butter ChickenSo many new places to eat are opening up these days. Not just in my neighborhood (in which there are a lot of great new places to explore and turn into hangouts…yay!) but all over. Our local dining scene has never been more vibrant. It is truly a diners market where one has a dizzying array of choices. There are those maverick independents whose deliciou […]
- Garlic Mushroom QuinoaHi! How have you all been doing? Good I hope. I've been under the weather this past week. One of those nasty, unidentifiable bugs that make you feel generally lousy (runny nose, itchy throat, achy body) but not lousy enough to render you totally bedridden. And if I'm not feeling lousy enough to be bedridden, then you know where I am…doing everything els […]
- Double Chocolate PancakesWhen it's time to do the grocery I always (ideally) like to fly solo. When the whole brood comes along, things no doubt get crazy with all sorts of stuff mysteriously appearing in the cart by checkout time. And don't think this is solely from the little ones. C always sneaks in some contraband – Vienna sausage, Spam, and his beloved instant noodles. As f […]
- Guava BarsSo, I've been walking lately. A brisk morning walk several times a week, as well as walking wherever I can vis a vis taking the car. Although I have always espoused a life of decadence (i.e. rationalising my laziness), a pain au chocolat in one hand and a good book in the other, cozily ensconced in a mass of duvet covers, I can't deny that time takes its t […]
- Sesame Soba NoodlesI was at our neighborhood coffee shop yesterday morning. I woke up a just a tiny bit earlier so I could sneak a solo coffee before I went to market. Which I suppose is a funny thing to do on Valentines, but I love it when I have time to grab a cup of coffee before heading to the market on Saturdays, so there you go. Just me, my flat white, doing my little […]
- Quick Blueberry and Chia Seed JamDid I ever tell you that my father was a photographer? If not by profession then definitely by heart. Long before the arrival of digital cameras, he lugged his (what seemed to me then) huge camera everywhere. I had to pose for so many photos. "Look up…look left…look down…chin up…" I obeyed like the dutiful daughter that I was (still am actually). And t […]

Five years ago, Dame Vera Lynn implored Katherine Jenkins to go to Afghanistan to entertain the troops after they had appeared together at a VE Day concert. She could scarcely have called upon a more suitable artist. The Welsh singer's mix of old-fashioned glamour and good manners, alongside a commercial approach to the classical genre, has secured her status as one of the most successful recording artists of her kind. Add to that a past life as a model, a mane of blonde hair and a wardrobe of extremely low-cut ballgowns and her popular appeal explains itself.
Now, as the new "Forces' Sweetheart", Katherine Jenkins shows every sign of increasing her popularity through increasingly extravagant reinventions of what has already proved to be a very lucrative direction.
"I came here to see Prince once and wondered if I'd ever have enough fans to play here," she told the thousands present at the O2, thanking them for making the dream a reality. Jenkins is a shrewd performer as well as a talented singer, and she has clearly thought hard about how to fill stadiums. This was a concert of superbly well-pitched production: a mix of circus, dance and pantomime, complemented by winsome charisma.
Her chorus doubled up as a theatre troupe, setting lavish pastoral and romantic scenes. Jenkins emerged from the chaotic opening sketch with Till There Was You, a one-time staple of that other Forces' Sweetheart. It set the tone for a first half of big-budget cabaret of varying success, including a bizarre rendition of Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry, which proved that not all great songs will survive the translation to classical pop.
Jenkins's ambitious approach was better demonstrated through daring showmanship. Angels saw her lie prostrate on a bed before being lifted into the skies by an acrobat, for an aerial exhibition of recently acquired circus skills. Multiple costume changes were afforded by dramatic interludes and a solo spot from label-mate Amaury Vassilli, who won huge applause from the audience with Io Te Amero. Both are signed to Warner, but it is Jenkins who paves the way for the rise and rise of popular classical music, with a recording deal reportedly in excess of £5 million.
Marketing potential is likely to see her move increasingly away from her classical roots. Her grand finale, a fantastically overwrought version of Bring Me To Life, an American soft rock hit by Evanescence, was a suitable end note.
With her popularity on home soil assured, it will be these bolder covers that will become critical as she tries to break her brand of popular classical music on the other side of the Atlantic.

It is unusual to hear of a manager taking his hat out of the ring when a new job comes along. However, the 'greatest ever' Albion Rovers manager Paul Martin has done just that after receiving congratulatory texts on his appointment as Director of Football at Cliftonhill. Martin was surprised as he had not applied for the job or had any discussions following Todd Lumsden being sacked last week and has no immediate plans to return to football a year after leaving following a health scare. Martin was given the 'greatest ever' sobriquet by former Chairman Frank Meade after he took the Coatbridge side to the Second Division via the play-offs two years ago and keeping them there via the play-offs last May. Martin said: "I got a texts at the weekend wishing me well in my new post. I am not sure where the story came from but I can confirm that I will not be returning to the club in any capacity. I loved my time at Albion Rovers and we had a great deal of success on a very small budget. My health is a lot better now but I am not looking to get involved in football at the moment as I am extremely busy with my roofing business. I am disappointed in what happened to Todd as only a few weeks ago he was under the impression that he would be in place next season. That has obviously changed and he is gone now. I may return to football one day but just now is not the right time but of course I wish Albion well in the future."

Tax time has come and gone. Although dreaded, the process of collecting documents and receipts can be helpful in examining expenses, and therefore priorities. How we spend money as individuals declares our interests, and how we collect money as a society also communicates our society's priorities.
Fiscal policy promotes behavior as well as discourages it. For instance, certain tax policies encourage charitable contributions and home ownership, both of which society believes helps fill a societal good. In health and wellness, however, most tax policies are punitive in nature — they discourage behavior by specifically penalizing individuals financially if they engage in certain behaviors. The most common examples are so-called "sin taxes." These excise taxes are imposed on goods that legislators and policymakers believe are bad for individuals and society.
Nonetheless, these types of taxes are important and useful tools in addressing health issues. But they should not be the only, or necessarily the primary, fiscal policy to promote health and wellness. Instead of only directing tax policies at individuals, we also must develop fiscal policies that encourage communities to incentivize businesses to bring needed resources that correlate to improved health.
Former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill famously quipped, "All politics is local" — and in many ways, health and wellness is local. We need to recognize that wellness is not only the responsibility of individuals and health professionals, but of the entire community — schools, businesses and local government. The more local policymakers can incentivize behaviors that promote health, the more likely local citizens will see improvements in rates of disease and life expectancy. Instead of simply relying on tax policies that impose a financial penalty to discourage behavior, we need to create innovative policies for a community to encourage healthy behavior, or at least be able to make a healthy choice.
For instance, private activity bonds could be a useful method to promote health. How so? These bonds are issued by or on behalf of local or state government for the purpose of financing the project of a private user. One reason childhood obesity has been increasing dramatically, especially in minority populations, is the lack of access to healthy food — what are known as "food deserts." That doesn't mean there is no food available; rather, there is an abundance of corner stores in these neighborhoods that lack fresh, healthy foods.
Because we know that access to healthier foods corresponds to healthier eating and lower risks of obesity, local communities could use these bonds to incentivize supermarkets to come into these underserved neighborhoods. The same could be done to encourage doctors' offices, labs and imaging services that typically do not set up shop in the areas where they are often needed the most. Local communities could also develop tax incentives for construction companies to build playgrounds, or fitness centers to upgrade school gyms. By offering financial and even tax incentives to these companies, we can encourage actions that would enable healthier lives for the public.
Keeping individuals or neighborhoods healthy isn't always about penalizing what's bad. It's also about rewarding what's good, and encouraging such behavior through innovative fiscal policies aimed at both individuals and communities.
And that could make "tax time" a far more pleasant experience.

Yesterday, we went to an antique show/fair and one of the exhibitors was a woman who was furiously knitting. Of course, I went to chat with her and discovered that she was knitting in the medieval method of holding the right needle still and tucked under the right arm while all the movements of knitting were done by the left arm. The only involvement of the right hand was to throw the wool. Those who have studied the history of knitting know that in the medieval ages the members of the knitting guilds wore special belts with a groove which held the right hand needle in a stationary position. I must say that this woman knitted with great speed both the knit and the purl stitches.
James Norbury was and still is considered an authority of knitting and certainly has both followers and detractors. He was a very particular knitter and emphasised that there was a proper and improper way to knit and he stressed using the method I've described above.
I can knit in this fashion with my Addi circulars if I concentrate. I find that it prevents some fatigue and I can knit much more rapidly. However, the down side is that I tend to knit too tightly and I can't seem to remedy that. Even for the sake of speed, I don't think I could go back to straight needles.
For the sake of discussion, I bring all this up for the reasons that I'm curious to know if others have tried this method and what they think of it. In addition, I'm seeking information on Mr. Norbury's knitting books: I am curious to know what others think of them before purchasing some. They are long out of print and rather dear to purchase.
My ex-sister-in-law used to
My ex-sister-in-law used to knit that way. She was left handed, and said that it was the only way she could do it. I tried, but couldn't get used to doing it that way. Her tension was kinda tight in her knitting, though. I didn't realize that this was an actual technique of knitting - I thought it was just my sister-in-law doing her own quirky thing. (Come to think of it, now I'm not sure if she placed the stationary needle under her left arm or her right....)(My brother divorced her about 15 years ago or so - and we've all been so much happier ever since. lol!) Thanks for sharing this info. Paul
Not just the medieval
Not just the medieval guilds. The British knitters of the 1930 - 1950 vintage often use that same technique. The literature is full of comments on knitting belts, needle holders, and other items that eased the knitter's tasks.
I am a continental knitter and consider myself a fast knitter. But an old-fashioned English knitter, using a knitting belt, can usually finish a row and one-half in the time I do one row. However, if the sweater is full of ribs, cables, and purl-and-knit columns, our speed generally runs about the same.
Have fun,
Jesse,www.alibris.com has
www.alibris.com has several Norbury books in their database - they also rate the books from the book sellers, so you can pick and chose how much to spend and for what condition the book is in. Just do a search for James Norbury, and you'll get a list of the book available. Have fun! Paul
I have a couple of his
I have a couple of his tomes. Although he was a knitter and designer I think that his work is fundamentally the work of others and published in his name. The designs and advice are of their era and were published during the austerity period. The designs clearly reflect this. His needle-work publications seem to date to an even earlier period (1920/30). He was very known in his day but that doesn't mean he was terribly good. He wasn't. Mary Thomas' work is far far better (and the little line drawings that animate the pages are quite amusing). She was a much better knitting historian and her books are still available.

The Lion King by DD Agent
I do not own NCIS or any of its characters, or its settings - all belongs to the lovely folks at CBS.
If you've never seen The Lion King and have been planning to, I wouldn't read.
This is the sequel to 'The Kids Are Alright'. I wrote it not sure of the reaction, but I was so happy by peoples responses! :D
Thank you so much to everyone who put it as a favourite, or put the story on alert. And, as always, an amazingly big thank you to those who took the time to review! MissJayne, Sitting Ducki, HuddyJibbsAddict, zats, Nileslover101, Paris-eternellement, Tony and Ziva Forever, lachildress, MatteaAM and The Breakfast Genie: thank you all so much! :D
This is the fic I had intended to write for Micha and Jay, and I have a couple more in mind [involving chickenpox for one]. Big thank you to missjjayne for giving this a last minute read through! :D And I hope you all enjoy.
"You two know what day it is, don't you?" Jenny asked as she poured cereal for her two children.
Micha nodded her head, beaming. "Uncle Decker's coming into town!"
Jay grinned as he reached over for the milk. Jenny knew that would cheer up both her children, especially Jay. Will was Jay's godfather, and in the summer when Jethro had been in Mexico, he had been a godsend in trying to deal with her newborn son. He only saw them twice a year now. Will had started working for the LA office last year and that took up a lot of his time. But he always brought them gifts when he visited.
Jethro walked into his kitchen, as always lingering by the doorway to watch his family. Micha was eating her cereal like a good little girl, while Jay seemed to be trying to persuade it to move. Jenny was drinking black coffee and occasionally trying to pinch whatever cereal had been on offer that week from their children's bowls. He had never had this before. Whenever he had been at home with Kelly, he had cooked breakfast and often they would have eaten outside. This was the everyday breakfast of a slightly unusual family, but a family nevertheless.
"Jethro, do you want some coffee?" Jenny asked, noticing Jethro standing in the corner. She blushed under his gaze, under the way he just stood admiring his family.
Her lover nodded. "Absolutely. Who's picking up Will at the airport?" Jethro asked as he walked to the coffee maker behind Jenny, planting a kiss on his daughter's head as he did so. Jay was oblivious still, now poking his cereal with his spoon.
Before he poured his cup of coffee, Jethro gave his lover a good morning kiss. His arms slunk around her waist, holding her tight. His mouth planted itself on hers; trying to give over to her exactly how much he loved her. Her hands stroked his face, and Jethro had to resist the urge to moan. There were very little ears present.
"Cynthia said she'll pick Will up and bring him back here. He wanted to pick Micha and Jay up from school so they didn't have to go to the office like they usually do."
Jethro nodded, pretending not to notice how his kids brightened up at the knowledge they would be spending the afternoon with Uncle Decker. He liked Will, he really did. He was Jenny's best friend and Jay's godfather but he was a little too close for comfort. Jay seemed to respond better to Decker than he did to his own father.
"You've gone off somewhere, Jethro," Jenny said, wiping some of her lipstick off of his face. "You're okay to take them into school? I have an early meeting with the Director of the CIA."
"No problem, Jen."
Jenny took another gulp of her coffee before she kissed him on the cheek, Micha on the forehead and told Jay to eat more of his cereal or it wouldn't move at all. Like a blur, his lover was gone out the door. Someday, Jethro would have to ask her how she had adapted to being a mother so quickly. Although he was pretty sure the answer would be because she had to.
He had come back. He had created a family with her. That should be enough.
The Lincoln town car that Jenny's people had picked him up in was quite nice. The assistant that Jenny had sent to pick him up was stunning. Will Decker sat in the back seat, waiting for Micha and Jay's school to finish. He had presents for the both of them, gifts from his trip to Barcelona last month. He also had a DVD case filled with Disney films. He was the cool uncle, the brilliant godfather. And considering the other godfather was Mike Franks who Will didn't think even knew about Disney, it wasn't that hard.
"How they been, Cynthia?" Will asked. They knew each other a little, the summer he had helped Jenny with Jay made him well acquainted with both her security detail and her loyal assistant. She was beautiful, intelligent, could stand up to Gibbs…it was a pity that their acquaintance didn't stray beyond the basics.
Cynthia smiled. "They've been good. A few hiccups on Halloween, I think. You should have seen them though, Will. Micha went as a NCIS agent, and Jay went as Frankenstein. So cute." She sighed. She was happy her boss had finally managed to have the family she wanted. But it was times like that that Cynthia wondered whether it was time she started her own. "How are you, Will? How's your girlfriend?"
Will was about to reply when he heard the school bell ring outside. Knowing future Olympic sprinter Micha would be out first, he smiled at Cynthia and stepped out of the car. He spotted both of the children after a minute, and watched as they ran over to greet their uncle.
"Uncle Decker!" Micha screamed, running into his arms.
Jay hesitated behind his younger sister before barrelling into Will's chest. Will hoisted up his godson and looked at the small young man. He was getting along well, still as shy as ever it seemed. Micha, on the other hand, was as bright as the sun.
"Well, I've got you both for the afternoon! I'm thinking Disney and ice cream, what say we?"
He honestly thought that was the first time he had ever seen Jay smile.
They were sitting on Gibbs' battered sofa as Will put on the first DVD of the day. He had chosen The Lion King, a good first Disney film. He had only seen it once, remembered it was good and for some reason had never seen it again. Will would maybe introduce them to Aladdin before their parents got home from work, but he was here for a week. Plenty of time to make them complete Disney fiends. Their father was more a western man who enjoyed the Looney Tunes, and Jenny enjoyed subtitled films and Scooby Doo. Someoneneeded to introduce them to Disney.
"Remind me the next time I come over to put on Doctor Who for you both," Will muttered to his friends for the afternoon as he pulled Jay onto his legs.
All three of them had a large bowl of ice cream on their laps, with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. It was really a good thing he was only over twice a year. Micha sat eagerly on the edge of the sofa, ready for the film to begin. Jay was quite happy to sit on his godfather's lap, still shy even with people he knew. They would have to do something about that.
"Right, let's begin! Now you two, if a lion roars then you have to roar too, okay?"
The two of them nodded with large grins as Will hit play and they sat back to watch. The music captivated both the children, and the ice cream was left forgotten as they sat back and enjoyed Disney. Once Mufasa and Sarabi had joined Simba on screen, Will grinned.
"You know, Mufasa and Sarabi are like your Mom and Dad," Will suggested to the two children. Jay looked up at him curiously. "They're both strong, very much in love with each other. Very protective over each other and their young." He tapped Micha on the nose and she giggled.
Jay looked up at him, speaking for the first time since he had arrived. "What does that make you, Uncle Decker?"
In time with Jeremy Irons on screen, Decker grinned. "A monkey's uncle."
The film continued on well enough, both children leaning forward and laughing plenty. It was only when Scar started singing to the hyenas that Will started to recall why he had only ever seen this film once. But it was too late to stop the DVD and before Will knew it he had two children suffering from shock.
Mufasa was dead. He probably should have left it to Jenny and Jethro to introduce their children to such a concept, but it was Disney. At least it wasn't Bambi. As Jay started to huddle into a ball on the sofa, Micha started to cry next to him.
"It's alright you two, everything will be fine," Will said, moving down to the ground so he could stare at both the children in an attempt to reassure them.
As Jay curled tighter into a ball and Micha continued to wail, Will wasn't sure what to do. These were sad tears, not hungry tears [which was his limit with children]. He was sure that they had heard some 'death' talk: after all, both Micha and Jay knew they had a sister that wasn't around anymore.
Looking back at the frozen screen, Will realised that his analogy about their parents had probably been the stupidest thing he had ever said.
Thankfully, the front door opened at that moment and Gibbs and Jenny entered, coming home from work and eager to see their children. Micha ran from the sofa and into Jethro's arms, wanting her Daddy. Jay stayed on the sofa, frozen.
"What the hell happened?" Jenny asked, walking over to collect her son from the sofa. Her little boy rested his head on his mother's shoulder, screwing his eyes shut.
Micha was still crying; her green eyes filled with tears. "Daddy don't die don't die please!"
Will sat crouched on the floor, not sure what to do next. All he really knew was that the King of the Pride lands and his mate did not look too happy with him.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs had never been able to stand seeing Jenny Shepard cry. The few times that he had seen his lover in tears and not for happy reasons, he had felt the urge to rip apart those who had been responsible. Seeing not only his daughter, but a miniature version of the woman he loved in tears made him want to torture someone to death. And if that person had to be Will Decker, then so be it. No one made his daughter cry.
Jenny was upstairs in their room, trying to calm down both Micha and Jay. She was trying to fix the damage that Will had done, although Jethro wasn't sure exactly how she could. Will was babbling in the corner, and Jethro just had enough. He slammed his fist straight into Decker's face, releasing the anger that had been bubbling since that morning.
Will stumbled up against the frame of the newly started boat, holding his no doubt broken nose. "I was just introducing them to Disney! That was all!"
Jethro shook his head. "Then how did my children end up worrying about me and Jenny dying at the age of four and five?"
His old friend tried to get a hold of himself, although it was hard with the blood streaming out of his nose. "You remember when I used to make jokes about you and Jenny being like lions when we were in Europe?" Gibbs nodded. He vaguely remembered that. "Well I made a reference today. Completely forgot that Mufasa dies. Which is probably why I've only seen it once."
Jethro banged his hand against the wall. "How much of an idiot do you have to be to make a joke like that? When you're looking after children you have to be responsible!"
"Unlike the man who abandoned his two week old son to go drinking in Mexico?"
The former marine went for Will again, but he managed to dodge out of the way just in time. Will then pushed him back, trying to knock some of the anger out of him. He already had a broken nose - he knew quite well that Jethro could pulverise him. Eventually he stopped trying to hit Will and stood there, his blue eyes freezing over.
"You knowwhy I left," Jethro started. "If I had stayed and tried to be a family with Jay and Jenny after losing my memory then things would have ended badly. I couldn't have started a new life with them while I was still dealing with the grief of the old one." He leant against his work table, noting how Will was a few paces away and was still moving. "I came back, and I am a damn good father to Micha, and a damn good father to Jay."
Will nodded, sighing. "I know, Jethro, I know."
Jethro moved behind him, the fight gone out of him. He poured himself a mason jar full of bourbon and handed one to Will. He took it with his arm outstretched. "I try to be a good Dad, but Jay's still shy. I don't know what to do, he won't respond to me. Responds to Jenny perfectly. Responds to you."
"Not after today," Will coughed, spitting blood onto Jethro's basement floor. "It's fair to say my rein as favourite uncle is over. As for Jay, Jethro, he's close to Jenny because you just weren't there his first year. You didn't form that immediate bond." He downed his glass of bourbon, wincing at the taste. "Jay likes languages, he likes drawing. Teach him Russian. Be there for him like you are for Micha and I have no doubt he'll come out of his shell."
Jethro nodded and threw Will a rag to clean his nose up. He took it gladly, wiping away the blood. Jethro put his hands in his pockets, not sure what more there was to say. "I know I did wrong in leaving, and I have been trying to make it right in the five years since I've been back. I want us to be a family. Move into a proper house where me and Jenny don't have to live in the attic. Propose to her."
Will's eyes darted up. "Seriously? You're going to propose?"
Jethro nodded, smirking. "Oh yeah. I love her, I want to marry her. Just got to talk her into it, I guess."
Decker grinned at him. "Good luck, Jethro." He handed back the glass, his face full of sadness. "I am sorry about the kids, I just…didn't think. I've been a real mess since I got dumped."
Jethro looked up. "Your prom queen broke up with you?"
His friend gave him the middle finger as he dropped the rag down to the floor. "I am so jealous of what you've got, Jethro. Two great kids, Jenny. After Jenny had Jay and I came back to DC…everything felt wrong. The diner went, retirement went…and now the girlfriend. All I have is you and your kids, Jethro. I thought if I introduced them to Disney it would be our thing…you know? But I guess I screwed that up too."
Jethro moved over to Will, who put his hands up in alarm. Shaking his head, he just brought his friend into a hug, knowing he needed the reassurance. They were all trying to do their best. They were all trying to live.
Will was in his hotel after apologising to both Jenny and the children. His lover was waiting for him upstairs in their bed. Micha was tucked up asleep after having had the longest cuddle on record with her Daddy. Now he was going to see Jay.
He had thought Jenny would be having these issues with their children, not him. But like she always had, his partner had surprised him. She had adapted to being a mother so quickly, had loved spending time with them and watching as they grew. Sometimes he preferred to just watch Jenny and his children, an observer to his family. He believed he needed to get his hands dirty.
As he moved into Kelly's old room, painted white with a large train going round it, Jethro saw that his son was still scrunched up in a corner.
"Hey Jay," Jethro greeted, moving onto his son's bed. He had Thomas the Tank Enginesheets, a present from his Grandpa Ducky. "You okay?"
Jay nodded. He tried to respond in sign language, but Jethro put his son's hands to the sheets. "Talk to me, Jay. Please."
His son licked his lips before trying to find the words. "Micha's scared."
Jethro nodded. He knew full well that Micha would be in their bedroom during the night looking for a cuddle. Uncle Decker wouldn't be coming around for a few days, that was for sure. "Are you scared, Jay?"
He expected his son to break at that point like his daughter had, to burst into tears. Tears he could deal with. But the slow shake of his head was either his mother's refusal to accept what was going on, or his father's strength in situations like this. Either way, Jethro was wondering that maybe his silence wasn't shyness after all.
"Why aren't you scared, Jay?"
His son moved his lips again, struggling to figure out the words in English. "Because you always come back. No matter what, you always come back."
Jethro reached for his son, and pulled him into his arms. Jay gripped him back, leaning up to press a kiss to his cheek. His son was the perfect blend of both his parents: his father's hair colour, his mother's bright green eyes. He had some of Jasper Shepard in him, and as Jethro looked he realised that his son had the same nose as his father.
"This weekend, would you like to learn a new language?"
Jay bobbed his head, grinning. "Mommy says you talk Russian. It looks pretty."
Jethro hugged his son again before dropping him to the sheets and tucking him underneath them. "It's a good language. Maybe we'll even teach your Mom."
He kissed Jay on the forehead before leaving his son alone with his nightlight. Stepping outside, he saw that Jenny was waiting for him. They walked towards the stairs, hands resting inside each other. They would be okay. Just as they hit the staircase leading to their bedroom, Jenny heard Micha crying. She was about to go tend to her daughter when Jethro stopped her. Jay's bedroom door had opened immediately and their son padded across the hall to comfort his little sister.
Jethro pressed his lips gently against Jenny's. "Let's go to bed."

Missouri A military attack against Iran remains an option should the Middle East nation continue to pursue its nuclear ambitions, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday.
"This is not about changing the regime in Iran," Gates told a group of community leaders at a Whiteman Air Force Base lunch. "It's about getting the regime in Iran to change its behavior, and its policies."
Talk of a possible U.S. attack on Iran has surfaced frequently this year, prompted in some cases by hard-line statements by White House officials. President Bush has said that Iran's continued pursuit of nuclear arms could lead to World War III.
While Gates has previously emphasized diplomacy and the use of economic sanctions, he told an audience member at the officers' club lunch, "We have to keep all of our options open."
At the same time, Gates added, "My own view is that another war is the last thing the Middle East needs right now."

I just read the article (TNT, 1-28) about Juan Perez, the 27-year employee being let go as the pianist at the Tacoma Nordstrom. He has entertained many of us for many years. I always know when he is at the piano, and it lets me know I am at Nordstrom. The perfume sellers are now all that lets you know you are at this store.
I have watched people stop and just watch him play. Some of us have to slow down just to catch his eye and get one of his wonderful smiles.
I have had a Nordstrom card since 1984 and did not get the memo that asked me if I wanted something else to replace the piano at this store. Where did they get their information? The Seattle Nordstrom still has its pianist playing; isn't Tacoma "classy" enough to enjoy Juan Perez and his music?
I hope there is some other business in Tacoma that still cares about beautiful music and a music icon to Tacoma residents.
I will miss Perez, and I hope Nordstrom misses me as well.

AfriGeneas Free Persons of Color Forum
William L. Banks KY
Greetings Everyone and Paul:
I'm collaborating with a military historian on the life of William L. Banks from Kentucky. His parents were free people of color. Recently, I sent her the link to " Free African Americans of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland and Delaware."
I pointed out that although the extensive research on the Banks family doesn't mention a connection to Kentucky, it's possible because of the state's geographical proximity, that there might be a family link.
William L. Banks was born in 1892 Jonestown Kentucky (near Lexington). I've researched his family in earlier census, but not as far back as the history mentioned on Free Africans.
My question simply is: Is there a link between the Banks of Virginia and the Banks in Kentucky. I don't want to make an historical stretch if it is not true.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

The New York Times reported that Science Fiction authors Scott Sigler, Tee Morris, Mark Jeffrey, Evo Terro and Cory Doctorow are giving it away now for free. This time, the e version is podcasts or audiobooks read by the author and available at Podiobooks.com. The article speaks to the fact that the authors giving away books in order to gain an audience. This is hardly new news.
This was a much blogged about topic back in November of 2006 when Forbes published Cory Doctorow's piece about the benefits of giving it away for free during November 2006's special publishing edition. Late to the game much, NYT? (Although to give NYT some credit, the Business section, in 2005, did report on Warren Adler's book, Death of a Washington Madame, which he released electronically for free via email, a chapter at a time).
In 2006, the New York Times reduced the size of its newspaper and reduced its staff by a third. Its revenue and profit at the time were flat from the previous year while internet revenue was increasing. Part of this is due to the fact that by the Times gets news, it's old news. While the podcast idea is interesting, it's been going on for several years on the internet.
Romances are conspicuously missing from Podiobooks.com.
Sigler Site owner, Evo Terra, blames this on the technical deficiencies of romance authors. NYT didn't really investigate any further . Dorchester author Sandra Schwab offers authorial podcasts, for free of course, which she began in March 2006. Schwab read original poems, short stories, and is currently in the process of reading of original fiction work called Betrayal. While romantic suspense Pocket author Michele Albert isn't podcasting, she is giving away her previously published work, All Night Long, on her website, Inkalicious, and selling her other out of print title, Absolute Trouble, at lulu.com for $1.25 (which is almost like giving it away.
In measuring the genres who are doing innovation and who are not, I would have to point the finger against mystery authors. Perhaps the Poddio authors should have said that mystery authors aren't living up the standards being set by romance and science fiction authors. In the Celebrity Death Match: Genre Fiction Style, I give 2 points to the romance authors, 2 to the science fiction authors (they get points deducted for just being wrong), 1 point to mystery authors for just actually writing, and 0 to the New York Times for not knowing what is going on and being way late to the game. The real issue burning in books these days is the same one going on in the music industry–DRM. I'd like to see the Times tackle that one.

China's former General Secretary, Hu Jintao, looks like a quiet, kindly sort of technocrat. Under his rule, however, China ruthlessly crushed dissent from Han Chinese and ethnic minorities alike, even as the country continued to grow in economic and political clout on the world stage.

Who was the man behind the friendly mask, and what motivated him?

Early Life

Hu Jintao was born in the city of Jiangyan, central Jiangsu Province, on December 21, 1942. His family belonged to the poor end of the "petit bourgeois" class. Hu's father, Hu Jingzhi, ran a small tea shop in the small town of Taizhou, Jiangsu. His mother died when Hu was only seven years old, and the boy was raised by his aunt.

Education

An exceptionally bright and diligent student, Hu attended the prestigious Qinghua University in Beijing, where he studied hydroelectric engineering. He is rumored to have a photographic memory, a handy trait for Chinese-style schooling.

Hu is said to have enjoyed ballroom dancing, singing, and table tennis in university. A fellow student, Liu Yongqing, became Hu's wife; they have a son and a daughter.

In 1964, Hu joined the Chinese Communist Party, just as the Cultural Revolution was being born. His official biography doesn't reveal what part, if any, Hu played in the excesses of the next few years.

Early Career

Hu graduated from Qinghua University in 1965, and went to work in Gansu Province at a hydro-power facility. He moved to the Sinohydro Engineering Bureau Number 4 in 1969, and worked in the engineering department there until 1974. Hu remained politically active during this time, working his way up within the hierarchy of the Ministry of Water Conservancy and Power.

Disgrace

Two years in to the Cultural Revolution, in 1968, Hu Jintao's father was arrested for "capitalist transgressions." He was publicly tortured in a "struggle session," and endured such harsh treatment in prison that he never recovered.

The elder Hu died ten years later, in the waning days of the Cultural Revolution. He was only 50 years old.

Hu Jintao went home to Taizhou after his father's death to try to persuade the local revolutionary committee to clear Hu Jingzhi's name. He spent more than a month's wages on a banquet, but no officials turned up. Reports vary as to whether Hu Jingzhi has ever been exonerated.

Entry into Politics

In 1974, Hu Jintao became the Secretary of the Construction Department of Gansu. Provincial Governor Song Ping took the young engineer under his wing, and Hu rose to Vice Senior Chief of the Department in just one year.

Hu became Deputy Director of the Gansu Ministry of Construction in 1980, and went to Beijing in 1981 along with Deng Xiaoping's daughter, Deng Nan, to be trained at the Central Party School. His contacts with Song Ping and the Deng family led to rapid promotions for Hu. The following year, Hu was transferred to Beijing and appointed to the secretariat of the Communist Youth League Central Committee.

Rise to Power

Hu Jintao became provincial governor of Guizhou in 1985, where he gained party notice for his careful handling of the 1987 student protests. Guizhou is far from the seat of power, a rural province in the south of China, but Hu capitalized on his position while there.

In 1988, Hu was promoted once more to Party Chief of the restive Tibet Autonomous Region. He led a political crackdown on the Tibetans in early 1989, which delighted the Central Government in Beijing. Tibetans were less charmed, especially after rumors flew that Hu was implicated in the sudden death of the 51-year-old Panchen Lama that same year.

Politburo Membership

At the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which met in 1992, Hu Jintao's old mentor Song Ping recommended his protege as a possible future leader of the country. As a result, the 49-year-old Hu was approved as one of seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee.

In 1993, Hu was confirmed as heir apparent to Jiang Zemin, with appointments as the leader of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and the Central Party School. Hu became Vice President of China in 1998, and finally Party General Secretary (President) in 2002.

Policies as General Secretary

As President, Hu Jintao liked to tout his ideas of "Harmonious Society" and "Peaceful Rise."

China's increased prosperity over the previous 10-15 years had not reached all sectors of society. Hu's Harmonious Society model aimed to bring some of the benefits of China's success to the rural poor, through more private enterprise, greater personal (but not political) freedom, and a return to some welfare support provided by the state.

Under Hu, China expanded its influence overseas in resource-rich developing nations such as Brazil, Congo, and Ethiopia. It has also pressed North Korea to give up its nuclear program.

Opposition and Human Rights Abuses

Hu Jintao was relatively unknown outside of China before he assumed the Presidency. Many outside observers believed that he, as a member of a newer generation of Chinese leaders, would prove far more moderate than his predecessors. Hu instead showed himself to be a hard-liner in many respects.

In 2002, the central government cracked down on dissenting voices in the state-controlled media and also threatened dissident intellectuals with arrest. Hu seemed to be particularly aware of the dangers to authoritarian rule inherent in the internet. His government adopted strict regulations on internet chat sites, and blocked access to news and search engines at will. Dissident Hu Jia was sentenced to three and a half years in jail in April of 2008 for calling for democratic reforms.

Death penalty reforms enacted in 2007 may have decreased the number of executions carried out by China, since capital punishment is now reserved for only "extremely vile criminals," as the Supreme People's Court Chief Justice Xiao Yang has stated. Human rights groups estimate that the number of executions dropped from about 10,000 to a mere 6,000 - still considerably more than the rest of the world's toll put together. The Chinese government considers its execution statistics a state secret, but did reveal that 15% of lower court death sentences were overturned on appeal in 2008.

Most troubling of all was the treatment of the Tibetan and Uighur minority groups under Hu's government. Activists in both Tibet and Xinjiang (East Turkestan) have called for independence from China. Hu's government responded by encouraging mass migration of ethnic Han Chinese to both frontier areas to dilute the restive populations, and by cracking down hard on dissidents (whom it labels "terrorists" and "separatist agitators"). Hundreds of Tibetans were killed, and thousands of both Tibetans and Uighurs were arrested, never to be seen again. Human rights groups noted that many dissidents face torture and extrajudicial executions in China's prison system.

Retirement

On March 14, 2013, Hu Jintao stepped down as President of the People's Republic of China. He was succeeded by Xi Jinping.

Overall, Hu led China to further economic growth throughout his tenure, as well as to the triumph of the 2012 Beijing Olympics. Xi Jinping's government may be hard-pressed to match Hu's record.

Mosley trial: Mom provides alibi for murder-defendant son
Prosecutors question alibi mentioned in murder trial testimony
Updated 9:43 pm, Wednesday, May 25, 2011
TROY -- The mother of Michael Mosley testified Wednesday her son was at her home in Saratoga County the night he allegedly butchered a couple in Troy in 2002 -- and said he hurt his hand that day snowboarding with his young son.
The prosecution quickly questioned the alibi offered by Wilma Mosley, noting it was rainy, no snow was on the ground at the time and her son would have been out with the 7-year-old boy after dark. But Wilma Mosley did not waver while testifying at her son's first-degree murder trial in Rensselaer County Court
"When I was a kid," she said, referring to sliding down snow hills after sunset, "that was the most fun I ever had."
Wilma Mosley, 59, told jurors she noticed her son's hand was injured after he arrived home before 8 p.m. on Jan. 24, 2002. Mosley, at that point, had been staying with her and his father every night, she said.
More Information
"When he came home I looked at him and said, 'Oh, no!' He had one of his hands wrapped up," the mother testified. "I said, 'What now?' He said he had been snowboarding and doing one of his tricks and he flipped and he hurt his hand."
Prosecutors allege her son injured his hand while murdering Arica Lynn Schneider, 18, and her boyfriend, Samuel "Frost" Holley, 27, who were found on January 26, 2002 in their apartment at 29 Brunswick Road. The case against Mosley includes his blood and palm print at the crime scene.
Mosley, 41, of Averill Park faces life in prison without parole if convicted.
In her testimony, Wilma Mosley said the defendant, her first-born son, had past alcohol problems and "wasn't my Michael" in 2001, when his girlfriend kicked him out of their apartment in Watervliet. She said Mosley moved in with her and her husband in February 2001. He improved himself, became employed as a painter and lived under strict house rules of no alcohol, among other requirements, she said.
She described her son as a prankster and "really a joy to be around."
Her testimony prompted emotional reactions from Schneider's mother, who left the courtroom of Judge Robert Jacon in tears. The judge also told Wilma Mosley, at the outset of her testimony, to "just relax." And the defendant appeared to wipe away tears, at least once, while his mother testified.
Prosecutors contend Mosley repeatedly stabbed the victims late Jan. 24, 2002 or early the morning of Jan. 25, which was his mother's 50th birthday.
Wilma Mosley provided an alibi for her son by placing him at her home when the killings took place, but it fell under scrutiny from Assistant District Attorney Christa Book.
The prosecutor noted that, according to Mosley's mother, her son worked until about 4 p.m. that Jan. 24 as a painter at the University at Albany. Book said even if he picked up his son immediately and hit the Poestenkill Gorge, where the defense said they went, Mosley and his son would not have arrived until after dark.
The prosecutor noted a weather report showing it was 52 degrees that day with no snow and rain.
"I don't agree there was no snow on the ground," the mother testified.
On Tuesday, Mosley's former boss and uncle, James Hardy, testified Mosley took six days off after the killings with a hand injury. Contrary to his testimony, Mosley's mother said she heard her son call in sick on Jan. 25, 2002.
She said, under questioning, it was akin to "playing hooky" since her son worked on a home that day.
Mosley is expected to take the witness stand Thursday after his mother's testimony.
Jurors could then get the case after summations.

In a recent article in the Guardian, Jeff Forshaw a particle physicist, writes that "Science and Religion are united in a shared sense of wonder" about the universe. It is a interesting read, where Forshaw expounds on the danger of not acknowledging the limits of science.
"By overstating science's power and not acknowledging its limitations, we risk fostering the growth of a religion-substitute, with the scientists as high priests. Such hubris not only irritates people, but more significantly it risks promoting the misconception that science deals with certainty – and that is the very antithesis of good science."
He explains how science and religion answer a different set of questions. Science is not concerned with the meaning of life. If the universe has any point to it or not, it doesn't matter from a scientist perspective. Irrespective, of their viewpoints, science and religion are united on one point, that our existence, and nature in general "inspires glory and wonder".
