Arakawa Under the Bridge - Which is worse, fire or eviction?
I like how Sister performs his fire drill in case of emergencies - start a simulated-but-real fire and make it a tradition. The fact Rick was complacent for a few moment, like how we all usually are, till he saw the bonfire and climb down his home in mere seconds actually caught my eye as he confronts the arsonic Sister. Sister being a mother bird with Chief was expected but I did agree with Rick that he's spoiling Chief too much.
One of the best part of the episode in my opinion, came out quite early. Pudding Hoshi. Don't ask why, I just like how he's drooping. But with the fire still blazing on, they started a bucket relay to extinguish it with Rick excluding Chief. I would do the same if I were him. The smell of burning and melting rubber isn't that wonderful - even if he's a self proclaimed kappa cooks himself in the fire. Still, he remain's the apple of everyone's eye that you just can't hate.
With the fire now extinguished, the residents have more trouble ahead of them as they get invaded by the father of Ichinomiya Kou. Rick tried to explain the serverity of the situation to Chief who simply took it all way too lightly. Rick was almost convinced Chief was able to do something just to regret it but with a goverment agent already up their case but meeting him the second time was an unexpected twist. His almighty attitude is gone as soon as he met the goddess Maria and that's where I got this thought of letting her meet Rick's dad.
Still, Chief's decision to move was unexpected. I thought he'd would at least to something to protect the place. Nino's rebutting that thought was something I think everyone whould expect so what are they're going to do next is a great wonder.

Circuit: DA's Office Not 'Arm of State'
P. Duffy
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office is not an "arm of the state" and therefore can be sued under civil rights laws for the conduct of its investigators.
The ruling in Carter v. City of Philadelphia overturns a decision by U.S. District Judge Bruce W. Kauffman in a suit brought by a man who said he was falsely prosecuted for a 1986 barroom murder based on false testimony from a paid informant.
Raymond Carter's conviction was overturned in 1996 when a Philadelphia Common Pleas judge found that the prosecution had violated its duties under Brady v. Maryland by not disclosing that Pamela Jenkins, a key prosecution witness, was a paid informant.
Even though the District Attorney's Office was not aware that Jenkins had been paid, Common Pleas Judge Joseph I. Papalini said that Carter was nonetheless entitled to a new trial. But Papalini specifically noted that he had not found Carter innocent of the murder of Robert Harris.
The central figure in Carter's post-conviction challenge was former police officer Thomas Ryan who confessed to corruption charges in the 39th district scandal. Carter claimed that Ryan suborned the perjury of a prostitute-informant -- with whom Ryan had been intimate -- to serve as an eye-witness against Carter.
In December 1996, the DA's Office chose not to prosecute the case further, and Carter was released from prison.
his federal civil rights suit, Carter claimed that his conviction was "proximately
caused by" the deficient policies of the city, its police force, and the
DA's Office. The DA's office, he said, should have had training and supervision
that would have prevented or discouraged police officers from procuring
perjurious eye-witnesses, and alerted prosecutors to the falsity of such
bogus testimony.
Lawyers for the city moved to dismiss any claims against the "Richard Roe" defendants, identified by Carter as investigators from the DA's Office who allegedly failed to investigate the use of tainted evidence in his case.
Kauffman agreed, saying that the DA's Office is an "arm of the state" for 11th Amendment purposes when it is performing its investigatory and prosecutorial functions.
Whether a governmental body is an arm of the state is a question of federal law, Kauffman said, that must be analyzed under the three-factor test announced by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Fitchik v. New Jersey Transit Rail Operations Inc.
The three Fitchik factors are:
The DA's Office acknowledged that the first factor weighed against it because the majority of its funding comes from the city.
But Kauffman nonetheless found that 11th Amendment immunity was appropriate because the second and third factors weighed heavily in favor of the DA's Office.
"It would be hard to imagine functions more essential to the sovereignty of state government than the investigation and prosecution of state criminal charges," Kauffman wrote.
Prior to 1850, Kauffman said, "the Attorney General of the Commonwealth was empowered to perform those critical functions. In practice, however, he appointed deputy attorneys general for the counties to perform them."
In 1850, the General Assembly "transferred the duties of the appointed deputy attorneys general to a 'district attorney' elected by the voters of each county," Kauffman said.
The amended version of the statute creating the office of district attorney "establishes beyond any doubt that the District Attorney's Office functions as an arm of the Commonwealth when performing its investigative and prosecutorial duties," Kauffman found.
The third factor, autonomy, also weighs in favor of the DA's Office being considered an arm of the state, Kauffman said, because Pennsylvania courts have held that "the District Attorney . . . is the sole public official charged with the legal responsibility of conducting in court all criminal and other prosecutions, in the name of the Commonwealth."
DA's in Pennsylvania are not subject to "local control," Kauffman found
that they are subject to the state Attorney General's supervision and have
"always been subject to judicial oversight."
REVERSAL Now the 3rd Circuit has reversed that ruling, finding that Kauffman applied the correct test, but erred both in his analysis and the balancing of the Fitchik factors.
U.S. Circuit Judge Carol Los Mansmann found that the funding factor weighed especially heavily against the DA since "it appears that no portion of the DA's funds are provided by the state and no portion of any judgment will be paid directly or indirectly by the state."
The status prong also weighed against finding that the DA is an arm of the state, Mansmann said, since "Pennsylvania's case law defines district attorneys -- Philadelphia district attorneys in particular -- as local, and expressly not state, officials."
said Kauffman erroneously considered that fact irrelevant because he "believed
performance of a sovereign function, such as investigation and prosecution
of crime, was alone sufficient to accord prosecutors sovereign immunity."
But Mansmann said Pennsylvania law clearly says that mere performance of an essential sovereign function in the name of the state "does not give rise to state surrogate status under state law."
Kauffman also erred, she said, by adopting a position that "would inappropriately pull all of the functions of the [DA's] office within the scope of its . . . prosecutorial function."
The federal courts, she said, have recognized the "hybrid nature" of a DA's office -- distinguishing between its prosecutorial functions and the DA's role as elected county policymaker.
The theme of those decisions, Mansmann said, "is that county or municipal law enforcement officials may be state officials when they prosecute crimes or otherwise carry out policies established by the state, but serve as local policymakers when they manage or administer their own offices."
In Carter's case, Mansmann said, his claim pertains to DA's office functions that are "not prosecutorial, but administrative," since it focuses on training, supervision and discipline, rather than decisions about whether and how to prosecute cases.
Kauffman also erred in finding that the DA is not autonomous, Mansmann said, since such a finding is "contrary to Pennsylvania's consciously and deliberately designed autonomous role for its district attorneys."
The Pennsylvania attorney general is "without authority" to replace a DA, who must be impeached for removal under state law, Mansmann noted.
Carter is represented by Robert W. Small of Berlinger & Small, along with sole practitioner Susan F. Burt.
The DA's office was represented on appeal by R. David Walk Jr., Bebe H. Kivitz, Kevin J. Kotch and Chonda Jordan Nwamu of Hoyle Morris & Kerr.

Petition In Support of the Release of William C. Scott
0 have signed. Let's get to 1,000!
William Scott has been incarcerated for 26 years, serving a Life sentence, which under the current " Stand Your Ground Law",would have been applicable had it in been in force in 1991. He was convicted of Felony Murder, (terrorism ), after looking in the face of a sawed-off shotgun pointed at him by the man who had inflicted 280 some stitches in his chest some 2 weeks earlier. Even though his actions were unintentional, a death occurred as a result. William has always shown remorse for his actions and continues to live with this tragedy every day. Over the past 26 years he has strived to better himself by taking some college courses, being a part of various groups, including a founding member and President of the Anamosa Branch of the NAACP. He has several certificates: (Computer Operator) with his most distinctive being a Braille Transcriber, registered with the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. From his actions and hard work, I feel he deserves a second chance. Ray Walton, his Prosecuting Attorney feels that he deserves that chance. He is fully rehabilitated and ready to contribute to society. He is currently enrolled in a paralegal course, hoping to be an asset to the youth concerning gun control, among other helpful skills. William poses no threat to the Community, and is willing to work hard to earn your acceptance and hopefully your respect if you would be willing to support his reintegration back into the Community he was born and raised in. With his strong faith in GOD and family,and his belief in forgiveness, he humbly asks for your support. Let's bring home one of our son^s, father's, brother's and grandchild. By signing below, you do so under no obligation or duress. This is all voluntary and by freewill. All information will be kept Confidential and used only for the purpose of presentation to the Governor.

Gryos with Tatziki Sauce
Also, there was a food stand operated by our Dining Services outside the library in the warmer months, and they had just as good of gyros, only in the daytime when I was supposed have my 'learning brain on.
I have wanted to make gyros at home since it's been a few too many years since having a gyro in subzero weather with no coat, walking home from the bar, (this was in the Midwest, remember? brrrr) but the meat portion of the sandwich intimidated me. When I saw this recipe in Clean Eating, I thought I'd give it a try.
Gyros with Tatziki Sauce
recipe adapted from Clean Eating Magazine
Serves 4
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground black-pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp olive oil, divided
1 lb eye round beef steak, trimmed of visible fat
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
4 whole-wheat pitas
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 cup Tatziki (recipe below)
In a small bowl, mix together oregano, cumin, paprika, black pepper, garlic, lemon juice and 1 tsp oil. Rub mixture onto steaks, place in zip-top bag and let marinate for 30 minutes or overnight.
Grill steaks for 7 to 10 minutes, or to desired doneness, remove from grill and let sit for 5 minutes; slice thinly.
To assemble, cut pitas in half, open pocket and place 2 oz. steak, a couple onion slices and 1/2 cup tomatoes in each pita half. Top each with 2 tbsp Tatziki.
Makes 3 cups
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and seeded
2 cups nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp red wine vinegar
Finely grate cucumbers and wring out in a clean cloth dishtowel to remove all the liquid. (It will seem like a lot!) Combine with the rest of the ingredients, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
The verdict?
These were good....not exactly the same as the great takeout gyros I can get, but if all I ever get out of this recipe is Greek yogurt, then this recipe is a winner. We have using the leftover plain Greek yogurt (not the cucumber sauce) as a replacement for sour cream on potatoes and Mexican food, and it's been such a fun swap!
The marinade for the meat was really good, and my husband kept swiping pieces while I was cutting the steak. Overall, I think it needs tweaking to get closer to takeout, but I was in gyro heaven, since I ate 2 whole gyros myself!

Groups applaud SUCCEED Act0
Washington, D.C. (April 15, 2011) – The Asian American Center for Advancing Justice commends U.S. Representative Mike Honda (D-Ca) for reintroducing the Strengthen and Unite Communities with Civics Education and English Development (SUCCEED) Act.
The bill would provide much-needed assistance to populations that are limited English proficient (LEP), allowing these vulnerable community members to learn English, integrate more quickly and fully into American society and maximize their social and economic contributions to our society.
"English language acquisition resources are hugely needed," said Karen K. Narasaki, president and executive director of AAJC. "More than 12 percent of Americans, over 37 million, in our country are foreign born, and that close to 55 million Americans speak a language other than English at home."
"This bill is particularly important for the Asian American community," said Stewart Kwoh, president and executive director of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center. "Nationally, one in three Asian Americans is limited English proficient, and one in four Asian American households is linguistically isolated, meaning that everyone over the age of 14 speaks English less than very well."
The SUCCEED Act would provide for English literacy instruction on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, naturalization proceedings, civic participation and U.S. history and government. It would also re-establish the Office of Citizenship in the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services as the Office of Citizenship and Immigrant Integration, which would work to further the integration of immigrants.
"This would allow immigrants to integrate more quickly into American society and to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to become fully active and engaged members," said Tuyet Le, executive director of the Asian American Institute. It would also provide critical technical assistance to states and localities and makes grants available to states to establish New American Councils that bring together business, faith, civic, philanthropic, non-profit and education stakeholders to create immigrant integration programs.
Titi Liu, executive director of the Asian Law Caucus, added: "Currently, there simply are not enough programs to meet the tremendous need for English language and civil education programs. We need to enable Asian Americans and other immigrant families to receive the language and skills training they need."
The Asian American Center for Advancing Justice ( http://www.advancingjustice.org/) works to promote a fair and equitable society for all by working for civil and human rights and empowering Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other underserved communities, and is comprised of the Asian American Justice Center in Washington, D.C. ( http://www.advancingequality.org), the Asian American Institute in Chicago ( http://www.aaichicago.org/), the Asian Law Caucus ( http://www.asianlawcaucus.org/) in San Francisco and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center ( http://www.apalc.org/) in Los Angeles.

LOFAR observations of PSR B0943 10: profile evolution and discovery of a systematically changing profile delay in Bright mode
LOFAR observations of PSR B0943 10: profile evolution and discovery of a systematically changing profile delay in Bright mode - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.

Abstract : We present broadband, low-frequency 25-80 MHz and 110-190 MHz LOFAR observations of PSR B0943+10, with the goal of better illuminating the nature of its enigmatic mode-switching behaviour. This pulsar shows two relatively stable states: a Bright B and Quiet Q mode, each with different characteristic brightness, profile morphology, and single-pulse properties. We model the average profile evolution both in frequency and time from the onset of each mode, and highlight the differences between the two modes. In both modes, the profile evolution can be well explained by radius-to-frequency mapping at altitudes within a few hundred kilometres of the stellar surface. If both B and Q-mode emission originate at the same magnetic latitude, then we find that the change of emission height between the modes is less than 6%. We also find that, during B-mode, the average profile is gradually shifting towards later spin phase and then resets its position at the next Q-to-B transition. The observed B-mode profile delay is frequency-independent at least from 25-80 MHz and asymptotically changes towards a stable value of about 0.004 in spin phase by the end of mode instance, much too large to be due to changing spin-down rate. Such a delay can be interpreted as a gradual movement of the emission cone against the pulsar-s direction of rotation, with different field lines being illuminated over time. Another interesting explanation is a possible variation of accelerating potential inside the polar gap. This explanation connects the observed profile delay to the gradually evolving subpulse drift rate, which depends on the gradient of the potential across the field lines.

Renowned as the "Grand Dame of Madison Avenue," this iconic hotel opened in 1924 and has been renovated to its original grandeur.
The Roosevelt Hotel has been a landmark on the Manhattan skyline since it opened on September 22, 1924. Over the last 90 years , this elegant hotel has remained a true icon of New York City, welcoming guests from around the world. From the Roaring 20's and Prohibition, World War II and the Baby Boomers, Woodstock to music videos, and Y2K to smartphones, The Roosevelt Hotel has remained a quintessential New York City experience and a part of the cultural fabric of America.
Synonymous with the rich history of The Roosevelt Hotel, Guy Lombardo and his orchestra performed their first show at the Roosevelt Grill on October 3, 1929 and continued to play there for the next 30 years.

The Roosevelt Hotel has appeared in several major motion pictures, including The Boiler Room, Wall Street, Quiz Show, Presumed Innocent, Malcolm X, Monday Night Mayhem, The French Connection, Hanky Panky, Maid in Manhattan, The Hoax, and 1408.

A 3-1 home victory saw Clipstone complete a league double over high-flying Worksop Town.
After a wobble of three successive defeats, the Tigers were looking to return to form and had the chance of going top of the Toolsport NCEL Premier Division.
However, in front of 272 spectators, Clipstone's highest attendance of the season, a brace from Cobras' new signing Nicky Walker proved the difference.
Worksop's main title rivals, leaders Tadcaster Albion, needed a late penalty themselves to rescue a point a strugglers Parkgate.
Clipstone had been struggling at home and had lost their previous four home games but on the day played with much greater spirit and higher tempo than of late.
Walker, 21, is also registered with Boston United but despite not having played for five or six weeks, he was in the right position on two occasions and both goals were classy finishes.
The Cobras created the first chance of note on 18 minutes when Adam Somes forced a good save from Worksop keeper Jon Kennedy who reacted well to clear the loose ball before Jahmal Smith could connect.
The first goal came on 27 minutes when a move involving Walker and Liam Royles led to the ball falling to Oli Ryan, whose shot was perfectly floated to beat Kennedy.
The home side doubled their lead on 42 minutes when a superb chip forward from Ryan found Walker who finished clinically.
Steve Hernandez was then called into action just before the break when he saved from Steve Woolley.
Worksop started strongly in the second period but resolute defending kept them at bay. Man of the match Chris Salt was dominant in the air and well supported by those around him.
Worksop left back Phil Roe forced a good save from Hernandez and the keeper then did well to deny Kyle Jordan after he had gone past two defenders.
Hernandez produced another save a few minutes later and Salt diverted the rebound onto the post.
The all-important third Cobras goal came on 61 minutes. A cross from the left from sub Alec Denton wasn't cleared and Smith headed the loose ball to Walker who fired home.
Hernandez then made an outstanding one-handed save to deny Mitch Husbands before Worksop finally grabbed what proved to be only a consolation goal back on 67 minutes with a penalty from Jordan after a foul in the box.
Kennedy denied Walker his hat-trick with a late save but the points were secure and Clipstone moved up to seventh in the league.

Is Cellectar Biosciences Inc. Stocl worth watching?
Is Cellectar Biosciences Inc. Stocl worth watching?
Have been looking at this stock for some time now. I don't usually trade bio, but this one caught my attention. It broke last month high, but I am still betting on it not holding.
Cellectar Biosciences Inc. is finally on the roll. The stock has touched a new high in last on month. With good news released just today, it is highly probable that this stock will touch new heights. Looking at the jump since last 2 days, it is now confirmed that the stock was highly undervalued by the investors and now it is catching up fast.
Finding a multi-bagger after a long time feels really good and now I can pack my bags for a good vacation in few weeks. Although this is a penny stock, the return on investment for this stock will pay off in few weeks itself. Take a look at one-month chart for the stock
As per the August and September Reports of the stock and the present status we see that dilution does not have a very drastic effect on the stock. Hence it is quite a stable stock

PQ is pleased to welcome Natsuya Uesugi to the blog to today in celebration of his newest release, grydscaen:dark! Congratulations and thank you so much for joining us! Without further ado; read on fair readers, read on… (be sure to read to the end for the rafflecopter giveaway of two copies of Natsuya's other works!)
Stock Market Shenanigans, Wall Street and Hackers Galore
The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was passed under President Obama in response to the Financial Crisis of 2007 and 2008. This sweeping legislation the most strict since the Great Depression wrangled in the financial industry with regulations and has said to have stabilized the financial section and the markets. The current President wants to do away with it. If you listened to grydscaen: dark, that may not be the best course of action to take as hackers and criminals will be right there ready to get in the back door, as well as corporations that were subjected to the regulations to ensure the financial crisis did not happen again.
The Dodd Frank act since its inception has saved billions of dollars for financial consumers and raised millions in fines against corporate entities doing these very shenanigans that we talk about in grydscaen. Dodd Frank was passed in 2009/2010. In June 2017 the congress released a new bill to roll back Dodd rank provisions. In March 2018 the Senate passed a bill to ease back regulations and oversight on the financial industry setting up the case again for another financial crisis. The new administration has been eroding controls that were put in place to protect and stop corporate greed which caused the crisis in the first place, now with these provisions gone, it is just a matter of time until something once again can go awry.
Title VII – Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 controls regulation of the over the counter swaps market. This includes credit default swaps and credit derivatives that were the result of the financial bank failures of 2007. This rule said swaps have to be cleared through exchanges and clearing houses. The Act repeats other regulations in place and states that no Federal assistance may be provided to swaps entities or activity.
So, did all that make your head spin? I bet. Well, how this all plays out the affect it has on the United States economy is still being seen. Large financial institutions that hired many staff to deal with the new regulations are in a different place now on Wall Street with the rules being repealed. Other rules like Volker that require banks to have capital to handle any losses, a simple way to put it are also looking by this administration to possibly be repealed. What does this mean? That your markets are again once more in a curious situation and that the financial crisis could possibly happen again with regulations repealed. The lobbyists have spoken and now we will see where it goes.
So how does this related to grydscaen: dark. Well in the first chapter of the novel a clandestine meet in cover of darkness occurs where information on the stock market changes hands. The hacker Jester gets a hold of an insider tip that just might give him leverage in a stock market that has been hounded by government restrictions and oversight making it impossible to infiltrate. Rom the Level 9 hacker gets the information and relays that the Parliament is about to vote to repeal a critical stock market legislation as a favor to corporate entities that propped up ministers with illegal corporate campaign donations. Basically, the government is about to repeal just that which the hackers need to get inside. grydscaen: dark shows where the hackers rule. Once change in the laws, a single vote opens up that backdoor to exactly what main street does not need another financial crisis. In grydscaen: dark we see the possibility of what this means and the overreaching destruction that occurs in the Echelons because the wheels fell off.
The hacker Jester is smart, he has been waiting a long time for this very critical moment. With the "gridscan" rules and information on the network controlled by the government it is backdoors that Parliament put in place for every corporation in case they needed access that the hackers use to get in. Those very back doors become the keys to the castle and what inevitably the hackers take down.
Issues like the repeal of Net Neutrality which also happened recently which give the monopoly power back to ISPs and cable companies are also making inroads into people's rights and the freedom of speech. Even encryption technology and public privacy has also been in the news recently. In grydscaen these things are under government control and the less regulations there are the more bottom line the corporation can make and the more control over the populace in the Echelons which has their freedoms curtailed by harsh enforcement by the Zone Police and the Elite government.
Did we just fall into a dystopian novel with the repeal of financial regulations? grydscaen: dark shows one reality. It will be seen what comes of the repeal and how that affects the markets. Already we have seen wild gyrations and the longest bull market in history. Violent price action in US stocks has made people wary and worried the market is in for a correction that will take out part of its increase. The market has seen the heaviest selling since May as investors dispel its staying power. This will all have to play out, hopefully the riots and food shortages, the power outages and chaos that Jester created in grydscaen will not spill over in reality with repeal of regulations. We can only hope the US economy and those with their head in the right place can counter any disastrous downturn or shock to the system.
Book Blurb:
A clandestine meet occurs in the Echelons under cover of darkness where Top Secret intel on the stock market changes hands. The insider tip gets the gothic hacker Jester engaged in a high tech game. Parliament votes to lower harsh stock market regulations fueling the Corporation's bottom line, a payoff from ministers who were propped up by illegal corporate campaign donations. Ordered by Jester, the teenage hacker Rom infiltrates the largest high volume brokerage house causing wild gyrations in trading. When Jester triggers an insidious stock market payload, all hell breaks loose threatening the pristine City. Will Zoon, the leader of the Triumvirate, get roped into the fray? Can Raven, the government hacker, put the cryptic clues together before the market crashes? Find out in grydscaen:dark. Whose side are you on?
Series Blurb:
Lino just wanted peace. All he got was war.
In the year After Colony 2055 there was the Great War. SenseNet government scientists harnessed their knowledge of nuclear weapons and created a new form of energy. This kedek energy was a natural found occurrence that existed in pools far inside the planet. Harnessing this energy into weapons called kedek bombs, scientists warned these weapons were unsafe and should never be used.
The draconian Atlantea Federation conquered more than half of the world's territories. A group of islands and nation states formed the Pacific Territories and in a single brave act retaliated in a battle known as the Blood Red Incident. The Atlantea Federation responded with wrath releasing the kedek-based Dionysis Effect nuclear bomb stolen from the SenseNet. The untested weapon's radioactive fallout created Codess which manifested as psychic powers.
Pacific Territories' society was segregated into citizens and non-citizens. Only citizens could reside in the pristine City. Non-citizens were left with poverty and strife in the Zone where the bomb had gone off, or in the Echelons with the Red Light District, drugs, and crime.
A group of hackers rose up to combat government oppression and injustice by the Zone Police. Enforcement squads rounded up psychics nightly taking them to work camps in the toxic kedek mines. The Terror Hack used guerrilla warfare to fight the Elite government. The Packrats, a cyber terrorist organization vowed to regain control and free society through cyber revolution. Run by the elite hacker Faid Callen, he created the Packrat Sprawl and set up the Runners, Wastes, Acolytes, Hosts, Prophets and Mobile Command. Each faction possessed deadly skills and laws in the Packrat Code that ruled their actions. Civil war ripped at the heart of society.
The son of the Viceroy, Lino Dejarre had psychic power. All he wanted was peace. He joined the Psi Faction as a clandestine psychic operative and was tasked to capture Faid Callen and quell the violence. When the Atlantea Federation attacked the City, Lino found himself once more answering the royal edict and forced to become Sub Viceroy and rule as war raged around him.
Separated at age nine and banished from the royal family, Riuho Dejarre's hatred for Lino grew as he tried to scrape out a life in the slum level Echelons while Lino lived in the pristine City. Stripped of his citizenship, Riuho vowed he would get revenge and did everything in his power to thwart Lino's every move. From his first encounter with the Atlantea Federation, Riuho found his place and the resources to get what he desired.
The Atlantea Federation attacked brutally on the ground and also threatened the Pacific Territories' space colonies. Lino and his Psi Faction team were roped into global diplomacy, inter-colony politics, covert missions, battleships, and space battles where they encounter the Atlantea Federation head on. When Riuho once more enters the fray, the high stakes game threatens to destroy everything for which Lino has worked.
Intrigue, psychic powers, clandestine operations, treaties, politics and a hacker revolution. From space battles, to kidnappings and assassinations, and battleships off the coast, grydscaen is filled with in depth characters and richly detailed storylines that peak your interest and keep you coming back for more.
Excerpt (copyright):
Chapter 1: Dot Hack Stock
"Not here. Hide the data till we are off the street. This way," Toapfyl hurriedly motioned to the data messenger in the blue military coat, dark cargo pants and combat boots who followed him off the sidewalk and down another alley. He was wearing the typical garb for a data messenger which made Toapfyl comfortable when he met the stranger in the alley leaning against the wall, easily identifiable.
Toapfyl, a Level 3 hacker, was wearing maroon jeans and a zippered black hoodie pulled over his ebony half shaved head, exposing a slap of dirty brown dreadlocks gathered in a ponytail at his forehead hiding his right eye.
A prostitute wearing a pink miniskirt and fishnet stockings kissed a businessman in a black suit under a sickly yellow streetlight. Toapfyl and the data messenger were once again shrouded in shadow by the derelict buildings as they passed leaving the two to their pleasure.
Toapfyl pushed in a dilapidated door at the end of the alley, grime from the street creating a dusty haze in the air leaving a putrid stink. They entered a staircase. There was no light as they descended. Toapfyl sparked up his aegis to his hand, the manifestation of his psychic power, and lit a path to the basement.
He pushed in the door onto a dimly lit room and revealed Jester, the leader of the Jester hacker guild sitting in a rickety folding chair in the center of the empty room smoking a cigarette from a long black holder. A soft haze filtered over him from a light fixture dangling precariously from ceiling wires, the glass cover filled with dead moths that had happened their way inside and lived out their final days circling the artificial sun. The wan flickering light cast shadows that danced at the corners, the bulb swinging back and forth, moved by the basement door opening.
Legs crossed, Jester was wearing black patent leather platform boots, a shiny mahogany lace skirt, skintight black denim jeans, and a slick dark vinyl blouse with embroidered crimson roses, He sported an elaborate olive short coat with a high collar and dark cuffs and epaulets. A monocle optical sensor over his right eye, he was wearing a green top hat with a scarlet rose perched at the brim. His pink straight, shoulder length hair shined in the light.
He made an irritated gesture with his hand. "Don't keep me waiting. Where is it?" Jester took a long drag from the cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke. He waved as Toapfyl closed the door.
"Not until I get paid." The shocked data messenger prompted pulling out a red etched credit sized data card shaking it.
"Do the needful," ordered Jester raising an eyebrow. He turned his back to them as he continued to smoke his cigarette taking a long drag.
Toapfyl pulled a platinum credit card out of his back pocket. The data messenger pulled his. They locked the two cards at the long end, pins embedded in the technology. Toapfyl typed out the amount of 55,000 credits on the virtual keyboard appearing on the face of his card. The cards chimed signaling the encryption key matched and the credits transferred from Toapfyl's account.
The data messenger released his card and ran it through a handheld confirming the amount. He nodded stashing the handheld in his chest pocket.
"Done," responded Toapfyl.
Jester turned back around not witnessing the exchange purposefully and stuck out his hand with his black lacquered fingernails in the knitted fingerless gloves. The stitching was coming apart at the seams on the thumb and index finger, the gloves covered in little white pills. Where everything about Jester's appearance was immaculate, the gloves gave away an underlying confusion or sloppy disregard for his perfect veneer.
Jester was one of the hacker guild leaders who almost never showed his face in public. It was well known that Jester did not make meetings with data messengers or low level hackers, like a Level 3. He couldn't be bothered with them. The fact that the data messenger insisted, and that Toapfyl made it happen, kept the data messenger on guard. He placed the red card in Jester's palm and turned to leave.
Toapfyl jerked raising a gun to the data messenger's temple. He touched skin. "No one leaves until the data is confirmed."
Rom, the teenage Level 9 hacker, emerged from the shadows behind Jester. Eyebrow raised, he was annoyed with Toapfyl. Rom pulled a handheld out of his tan trench coat as he came into the dim light. His dull blonde unkempt hair gleamed with a blue streak at the front. He took the data card from Jester and swiped it in the port on the handheld reading the file as the system ran the security check. He typed on the deck triggering an encryption key prompt as the handheld's computerized female voice spoke the request.
"The data is encrypted? Why didn't you mention that?" questioned Toapfyl suspicious. He pushed the gun barrel closer taking a step in and made the data messenger move his head back.
"No problem," interrupted Rom. "Most data messengers are Packrat Runners smuggling data from the City into the Echelons. It should take a Packrat decrypt key. I have access to the Packrats' archive of one-time, pre-shared obscure keys. What I need for this, right?"
"That is why I wanted Jester at the meet. Toapfyl, all data messengers use encryption. If you don't know that, you are an idiot. No self-respecting hacker attached to Jester would even ask the question you did just now. Only a Level 9 can penetrate. Jester would know a Level 9. Rom is one of the best in the business," the data messenger revealed his disgust with Toapfyl and yanked the gun out of his hand pointing it back at the hacker.
Toapfyl blanched confused how he had been disarmed and lowered his eyebrows at the disrespect. Rom shot him an angry glare silencing him.
Jester smirked giving Rom permission to engage and waved the data messenger off. The messenger lowered the gun handing it back to Toapfyl.
Toapfyl opened the basement door and motioned the data messenger out accompanying him up the stairs leaving Jester in the room with Rom.

Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Sprout Health Texas understands that because of its social acceptance, we must first help our patients understand why and how they are addicted.
Believe it or not, marijuana is addictive and widely abused by a large percentage of Americans. We understand that many people believe there is nothing wrong with using marijuana; however, studies show that there are effects that occur after prolonged use.
Outpatient Treatment Around Texas
Over 20 states have legalized the use of medical marijuana due to its potential medical benefits to ease the pain of AIDS, glaucoma and cancer.
Marijuana is used among adults mostly; however, there is a growing trend of adolescent and young adult use. Studies show that teens who start using will continue their use into adulthood and because of its social acceptance, most users will never seek treatment.
Effects of Marijuana
Marijuana affects mental state, short-term memory, ocular pressure and reasoning. The most notable effects being:
A sense of alteration
Altered visuospatial reasoning
Effects on attention
A reduction of intraocular pressure
Dryness, which creates red eyes.
Marijuana causes an altered sense of time and space as well as variations in mood. Perceptions become unclear, problems with coordination occur and certain risk factors cause the possibility of depression and schizophrenia.
The prominent effect of marijuana is dry-mouth. It also causes an increase in heart rate and future lung obstruction. THC actually causes anxiety and the smoke increases the risk of developing chronic obstructive lung disease.
Managing Your Marijuana Addiction
Sprout Health Texas understands that because of its social acceptance, we must first help our patients understand why and how they are addicted. It is widely perceived that marijuana use leads to the use of other illicit drugs; therefore, if our patients understand addiction, they should be able to resist the temptation to abuse other drugs.
Like most of our programs, we believe that including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will greatly benefit recovering patients. It allows patients to recognize their maladaptive behaviors as well as teaches them how to positively react to certain situations.
We also offer family and group therapies. Family involvement gives us the insight into your health history and family life, as well as provides your family with the knowledge on how to support their loved through the difficult process of recovery.
We know that treatment and recovery are not easy and we assure you that we will be with you every step of the way. We provide a safe, tranquil and supportive environment.

2013 LOTUS EXIGE REVIEW | Photography: Jan Glovac.
What's Hot: Physics-defying grip, stupendous acceleration, surprising compliance.
What's Not: Very noisy and stripped-out cabin, ergonomically compromised, zero practicality
X-Factor: A road-registerable race car – it's a hoot
Vehicle Style: Two-door sports coupe
Price: $119,990 (plus on-roads) $146,160 (as tested)
Power/torque: 257.5kW/400Nm
Fuel Economy listed: 10.1 l/100km | tested: 16.3 l/100km
Lotus hasn't done much in Australia recently... or anywhere for that matter. But now that production is back up and running, the British sports-car company has brought something here to celebrate.
And, as far as 'a race car for the road' goes, it's a simple formula.
Take a Lotus Exige and replace the supercharged four-cylinder engine with a Toyota V6. Still not enough power? Ok, add a supercharger. Oh yes, it doesn't quite fit. So, let's increase the wheelbase by 70mm. Ah, that's better.
Redo the front end with more aggression, widen the track, fit more track-focussed steering rack, and, hey presto, the Lotus Exige S is born.
There's a little bit more to it, though, which is why TMR spent some quality time investigating its limits. If it's possible to reach them…
Quality: Inside, it's a mixed bag. There's soft plastic covering the wide sills, some nice suede surrounding the gear lever console and the seats are trimmed beautifully.
But the switches look and feel cheap (some look like they're just tacked on), the radio looks like an aftermarket unit and the sills suffer badly from scuffing when people get in and out.
The dashboard has a nice dimped texture, but it feels cheap to the touch.
Comfort: Hmmm. There is a level of comfort. That is, the air-con works. Other than that, it's pretty dire.
Getting in is even more difficult than the already-painful Lotus Elise owing to the added roof which chops off a third of your entry passage.
The easiest method (not that there really is an easy way) is bum-first over the huge sill then skate backwards, slide and drop into the rigid bucket.
If you're tall, it's quite an effort getting your leg under the (fixed) steering wheel and ducking your head at the same time to avoid knocking your noggin on the roof. Getting out is even more of a struggle.
The seats are basically a hard shell with a thin covering of foam and cloth. Our test car was optioned with leather and alcantara, but that's it.
No backrest movement, no height adjustability. The seat slides fore and aft on exposed rails, but only the driver gets that "luxury". The passenger makes do with a completely fixed unit. If you lose a pen, you have to unbolt the seat to get to it.
The test car was optioned with the Premium Pack Sport SuedeTex, which adds splashes of suede and leather.
But this is a race car at heart. And it shows.
Equipment: With such a basic interior, don't expect too much in the way of standard equipment.
What you do get is a basic air-con setup and an Alpine stereo with a head-unit that looks like an afterthought. At least the sound is half-decent…when you're not moving. At speed, the road noise drowns it out.
Storage: Again, not much to speak of here. There's a small ledge on the passenger side to rest a small book or wallet (a sort of open glovebox), between the seats is a small recess for coins, and behind the seats is a narrow cavity to stash a thin squashable bag.
Driveability: For all its interior flaws, the moment you set off, all is forgiven.
Twisting the traditional key (no start-buttons here), the supercharged V6 kicks off with a flurry of revs just to let you know it means business.
Push the spun aluminium gearknob forward into first, a metallic click tells you it's home. Let the clutch bite with terrific progression and you're off. With a notchy shift, you'll need a bit of force to push each change home though.
With its curiously-specific output of 257.5kW and a more rounded 400Nm, the Exige S is an absolute pocket-rocket. It'll storm to 100km/h in under four seconds (3.96 to be precise). It's ridiculously quick.
Call on the terrific brakes and there's a fair bit of effort required to get it to slow down, but you soon realise that the feel is behind those first few millimetres of movement.
You'll soon get the confidence to brake later and harder – it's brilliant.
Then there's the steering. Without power assistance and with a very small diameter, it's laboriously heavy when parking and the steering wheel initially seems low and too close.
But the upside is there is zero interruption to feedback and, as your speed increases, it becomes more manageable.
If there was ever a perfect feeling steering setup, this is it. Every twitch of movement, every degree of camber change, every stone in the road – you feel all of it.
It is susceptible to tram-tracking, you feel the car jostling the wheel in your hands, but is easier to manage than the darty Elise.
And because of its tremendous grip, you can adjust the line mid-corner by either steering, brakes or throttle. It's very difficult to upset the Exige S's balance, unless you're trying to.
It's at this point that you'll be thankful for the DPM (Drive Performance Management) switch. Default is Tour, with Sport, and Race (a $5400 option, mind you).
Tour is perfect for the road with early ESC intervention and a slightly quieter exhaust note. Sport opens the exhaust flaps and backs of the traction, but curiously, Race mode brings a sharper ESC tune. Only initially, however.
Race mode actually 'learns' the track you're driving on, noting grip levels to gradually back off the stability control until it reaches an optimum point (where you can extract the fastest lap time possible).
And then – if you're the kind of person who would ride a unicycle along the Great Ocean Road – you can switch off all driver aids completely.
With front-rear weight distribution of 38/62, front-end wash is expected. But with practice you can trail-brake it into the corner which helps the front end to bite (as the weight settles forward) and then get on the loud pedal once into the corner.
As a driver's machine, there's not much that can compete.
With a 42.5-litre tank, however, the Exige S' appetite for fossil fuel means you can be visiting a servo within the same day, depending on your driving style.
Refinement: The Lotus Exige S is raw, loud and completely overwhelming. Despite having soundproofing added, the cabin is alive with road and mechanical noise.
Also, when under load, the engine's appetite for air means there's a huge rushing and whistling sound over your left shoulder. And that gearshift can baulk, especially between second and third.
Yeah, don't go looking for refinement here.
Suspension: Each corner of the car uses unequal length wishbones, Bilstein Sports dampers coupled with Eibach coaxial coil springs, plus the expected front and rear anti-roll bars.
You'd expect it to be kidney-splitting, back-cracking, teeth-shatteringly hard, but in fact it's more compliant than a Mitsubishi Evo.
There's an initial absorption that surprises – small cracks hardly bother the Exige S – but then firming.
Braking: The Exige S will astound with its speed retardation. It uses AP-Racing four-piston callipers with 350mm ventilated and cross-drilled discs up front while the rear employs 332mm ventilated and cross-drilled discs.
Our testing to elicit brake fade involved repeatedly stomping on the pedal from 110kmh. We failed. Though we did make ourselves sick in the process.
Its consistent capability and feedback make this one of the best cars for braking you'll ever try.
ANCAP rating: Not tested
Safety features: Driver and passenger airbag, seatbelt pretensioners, ABS, brakeforce distribution, traction control, stability control – all the basics are there. Given its size and speed potential, prevention is better than the cure.
Warranty: Three years/100,000km
Service costs: Intervals are set at 10,000km for road use and 7,500km for track use. A standard service is $500.
Nissan GT-R ($170,000) – Nissan's racetrack warrior is undoubtedly exceptional value-for-money. While it's more practical and quicker than the Exige in a straight line, under brakes and around corners the Lotus makes up a lot of ground.
The GT-R is also $50K more expensive (see GT-R reviews)
Porsche Cayman S ($139,900) – With a brilliant chassis, superb looks and great quality the Cayman S is a fabulous car. But it still can't hold a candle to the Exige S's storming dynamics.
And it's $20K in the red. (see Porsche reviews)
Note: all prices are Manufacturer's List Price and do not include dealer delivery or on-road costs.
How do you sum up a car like the Lotus Exige S? It's uncompromising. It takes physical effort to wield. The gearshift is inconsistent and the cabin is bare.
Your ears will curse you for driving it. It's too hard to get in and out of, and some people will physically not fit.
On any objective level, this car shouldn't work. But it just does.
It will have your neck-hairs on edge every time you dive into a corner. The steering is perfection and that V6 just sounds so old-school and raw. It takes driving back to its visceral and most enjoyable roots.
For the price, there's nothing that can touch it.
Ridiculously impractical, crazily quick and hilariously fun, the Exige S is how sports cars should be – it's wonderful.

In oceanic woodlands with outcrops of damp, acid rock this species appears as a thick, generally smooth and minutely brown dotted, creamy-blue crust as though soft porridge had been poured over the rock and left to set. It has a conspicuous black border. Discs (to 0.7mm) are common, brown and convex. Western Ireland mainly.

KaOS; A lean KDE Distribution
The idea behind KaOS is to create a tightly integrated rolling and transparent distribution for the modern desktop, build from scratch with a very specific focus. Focus on one DE (KDE), one toolkit (Qt), one architecture (x86_64) plus a focus on evaluating and selecting the most suitable tools and applications. All work is geared toward packaging, not developing new tools or applications.
There is no goal to make the most possible software available, KaOS will stay limited in size of the repositories, and will work on quality instead of quantity. That goal makes it clear, a large user base is not what is intended or expected.
Moving away from proprietary Operating Systems to open source options (Linux-based, BSD based, Solaris based) is about wanting freedom and choice in almost all cases. But should any such Operating System or Distribution not make some choices of what it believes is the best fit? KaOS sees a lack of focus in that respect. To create the highest quality Distribution possible, there needs to be a focus to make sure the user gets the best possible for whatever choice they made.
It simply is not possible to package any and all to work perfect for every Desktop Environment or Toolkit.
KaOS has made the choice to use the Linux kernel as a base (though the Illumos kernel is under constant evaluation, and a future switch is a wish). After that choice, the best available package manager, most flexible way of package building, repository maintenance is pacman/makepkg for a rolling distro like KaOS.
As for the Desktop Environment, there will never be a change, whether it is Linux or Illumos based, KDE will be the choice, Qt the Toolkit.
With those choices in place, April 2013 package building for this independent distribution was started. KaOS is a build from scratch distribution, every package in every repository is build by and for KaOS. By July 2013 the initial goal of about 1500 packages was reached.
Other Toolkits
Making the choice for KDE/QT does not mean KaOS loses sight of the importance of having the best tool available for the job. Most of the time it is believed KDE/Qt provides the superior tool, but there are a few applications were the GTK option is the only available of that kind (Inkscape, Ardour to name two), or in the case of web-browsers for example, the Qt options do not stack up to their GTK counterparts. For those instances, GTK applications are available, though their number will stay limited.
The repository layout is simple, and consists of three groups, Core, Main and Apps. A regular complete system update will always give you the latest available, without the need for any re-install of the system.
"Core" has the base packages needed for a system to boot-up, communicate with the BIOS connect most hardware and set basic shell options. Example packages are the kernel, systemd, toolchain for building and basic command-line tools. This repository is carefully rolling, since any upstream update not thoroughly tested greatly affects the stability of the system.
"Main" repository consists of all the needed libraries, extra drivers and firmware needed to make the Desktop and Applications function. Many of these can be fully rolling and will move to the end-user after a seven to ten days testing period. Some more vulnerable packages will enter after enough upstream feedback is available that no regressions have occurred.
"Apps" consists of all packages seen and used by the users, including KDE and any needed tools. It is fully rolling and you can expect updates to reach this repository after a short testing period, unless it needed to be built on newer versions of Core or Main packages, than it will have to wait until those are ready to come out of their testing period.
"Build" is were all packages start, whether it is a rebuild, update or new addition, all goes to build, once gone through the proper testing, than they are moved to their respective repository.
Firefox 26 arrives with Click to Play for Java
Mozilla today officially launched Firefox 26 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Additions include Click to Play turned on by default for all Java plugins, more seamless updates on Windows, and a new Home design for Android.
Firefox 26 has been released over on Firefox.com and all existing users should be able to upgrade to it automatically. As always, the Android version is trickling out slowly on Google Play.
First and foremost, the Click to Play revamp was supposed to be for all versions of all plugins, except the latest release of Flash. Unfortunately, Mozilla has pushed back this change and decided to focus on just Java.
In short, the feature means Firefox now only loads Java plugins when users click to interact with them. Previously, Firefox would automatically load Java whenever a site requested it, unless Mozilla had blocked it for security reasons (the company already blocks old versions of Java, Silverlight, and Flash).
Now, when a site tries to use Java, the user can choose whether to enable the plugin on that site. Firefox will only load it when you take the action of clicking to make it play. Alternatively, you can also configure Click to Play so that it always runs plugins on a particular website.
Java blocking isn't the only change in this release; here's the official changelog for Firefox 26:
- NEW: All Java plug-ins are defaulted to 'click to play'.
- NEW: Password manager now supports script-generated password fields.
- NEW: Updates can now be performed by Windows users without write permissions to Firefox install directory (requires Mozilla Maintenance Service).
- NEW: Support for H.264 on Linux if the appropriate gstreamer plug-ins are installed.
- CHANGED: Support for MP3 decoding on Windows XP, completing MP3 support across Windows OS versions.
- CHANGED: CSP implementation now supports multiple policies, including the case of both an enforced and Report-Only policy, per the spec.
- DEVELOPER: Social API now supports Social Bookmarking for multiple providers through its SocialMarks functionality (see MDN docs).
- DEVELOPER: Math.ToFloat32 takes a JS value and converts it to a Float32, whenever possible.
- DEVELOPER: There is no longer a prompt when websites use appcache.
- DEVELOPER: Support for the CSS image orientation property.
- DEVELOPER: New App Manager allows you to deploy and debug HTML5 webapps on Firefox OS phones and the Firefox OS Simulator.
- DEVELOPER: IndexedDB can now be used as a "optimistic" storage area so it doesn't require any prompts and data is stored in a pool with LRU eviction policy, in short temporary storage.
- FIXED: When displaying a standalone image, Firefox matches the EXIF orientation information contained within the JPEG image (298619).
- FIXED: Text Rendering Issues on Windows 7 with Platform Update KB2670838 (MSIE 10 Prerequisite) or on Windows 8.1 (812695).
- FIXED: Improved page load times due to no longer decoding images that aren't visible (847223).
- FIXED: AudioToolbox MP3 backend for OSX (914479).
- FIXED: Various security fixes.
If you're a Web developer, you should probably also check out Firefox 26 for developers.

Top crews use rowing ergometers, they're a "dyno" for your body. A great piece of equipment, but, how's your technique? A lot of people you see in the gym or boathouse have poor technique and risk injury at worst and simply go slow and waste effort at best. Just because there's a sliding seat doesn't mean it's only for sliding seat crews!
Just make sure you don't look like this guy – we've all seen someone doing similar!

Living in
But naturally, since people of all persuasions, facial structures, racial features, vocations (a big influencer in how people look, e.g., accountants never smile and salesmen always smile, because their jobs demand that they do), and caste creed and colour prejudices. It's a huge melting pot, the ladle of which, too, is so huge it requires many hands to stir it. You also see amazingly beautiful faces, faces that make you want to follow them, just to see where they go, what they do, what charmed lives they lead.
No, never been a stalker in my life, nor have any intention to be. But I know of many girls who have become the unwanted centre of people's attention, and been stalked. Some stalkers even have won their prey with their persistence. Remember "Chotti Si Baat" the Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha starrer? Amol is a stalker, until he musters courage to speak to Vidya and then – lo and behold – he wins the pretty damsel.
