Zul, Lharvion 17, 998 YK (Day 3).
In the morning, Tam'elanath, Morgue, Zil'dejin, and Typhus gather outside the bowyer shop. Here, they are quickly approached by an unidentified woman carrying the two halves of the pearl discarded by the party the day before. Faint, unfamiliar markings can be seen on the inside surface of the pearl. The unknown woman asks them if the fragments belong to them, to which the party responds by collectively pointing at Morgue.
She then asks them if they would like to serve their king. The party is somewhat hesitant at first – Typhus seems directly opposed to the idea. "I acknowledge no such king," he claims. "And I don't recognize his authority."
"Will we be rewarded?" asks Tam'elanath, and the woman responds that any rewards will be dependent on the degree of success in their task. Eventually, the group agrees to the task, and the woman tells them to go to Winterhaven, a town smaller than Lakeside at the base of the Icetop Mountains to the north. There, they are to meet with a man named Eilian the Old, and give him a certain passphrase and a copper coin with the head of King Kaius III printed on its surface.
They make their way across the field in front of Tam'elanath's hovel, which doubles as a marketplace on certain occasions, headed for Sandercot's Provisioners on the other side to pick up some gear and sell some unneeded items before setting out. Before they cross, however, a group of street thugs belonging to the local gang, the Lake Rats, emerges from the Lucky Gnome Taphouse next to Tam'elanath's shop, somewhat drunk and intent on fighting the party. At the same time, two elven archers who had previously been in hiding emerge from behind some empty carts next to Sandercot's Provisioners, also prepared to fire upon the group.
The woman is caught up in the crossfire and is forced to help the four combat these opponents. She is severely injured in the process, but ultimately the party is victorious. Despite their investigative efforts, the party cannot determine the origin of the elves who attacked them, and the woman leaves them behind, prompting them to decide to leave town as soon as possible.
After finishing their business in Lakeside, the four set out northwest upon the King's Road, bound for the Icetop Mountains and the town of Winterhaven. On the way, they are ambushed by kobolds, but they successfully fend them off. When their assailants have perished, they find an elven woman apparently being held captive, tied up against a tree. She identifies herself as Delphina Moongem, a flower seller and citizen of Winterhaven. The party frees her after deciding she is not a threat, and escorts her back to Winterhaven without further incident.
The guard at the gate directs them to Wrafton's Inn, where they can secure lodging. They go there, and speak to the proprietor, Salvana Wrafton, inquiring about Eilian the Old. She directs them to Eilian, who is present and occupying a table in the corner. The adventurers go to sit with him, and speak with him about the local area, but are apparently wracked with forgetfulness and for a time are unable to recall the pass phrase given to them earlier. Eventually, Zil'dejin remembers the phrase: "Do the local birds need a map to know which way the wind blows?" It as at this point that they realize they don't have a copper coin with them. Typhus is able to conjure a temporary false coin, and Eilian deems this sufficient. He tells them of his last contact, Douven Staul, who has gone missing after going to investigate an apparent dragon burial site for something he called the "third sinister rib", and asks them to search for him at a location he maps out.

On system with many accounts (over 5000) and many connections xinetd
dosen't work
After few minutes
[root@xxx ]# telnet xxx
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xx...
Connected to xxx.xxx.edu.pl.
Escape character is '^]'.
and still trying...
DNS & revDNS are OK, kernel 2.2.17 with ipv6
We don't compile in support IPv6 in xinetd...
Anyway, can you take a look at the "-loop" argument and see if increasing that
How many connects/second do you have? Is it just one service, or all services?
I have the similar problem. It seems that xinetd calls hosts_access()
function (TCP wrapper) from the main process instead of child processes.
Thus any DNS or ident timeout of _one_ client can make the whole xinetd
inoperable for few seconds or even minutes.
This occurs on my newly-upgraded RH7.0 system, which runs FTP server
and Qmail-based listserver (both started from xinetd). This is with
about 10000 FTP connection and 2000 SMTP ones per day. Migrating back
to inetd (RPM from RH6.2) solved the problem.
I have tried with -loop 50 and - loop 100 option and xinetd still had a
problems with opening a new connection. I will try to use a newest version of
xinetd 188.8.131.52pre13
After removed lines from /etc/hosts.allow
in.telnetd: ALL: RFC931: ALLOW
in.fingerd: ALL: RFC931: ALLOW
in.ftpd: ALL: RFC931: ALLOW
ipop3d: ALL: RFC931: ALLOW
xinetd works properly! Anyway, I'm sorry for this mistake.
To improve performance, use the internal access control (only_from etc) instead
of tcp_wrapper
The things you can do to improve performance on xinetd are:
1) don't do ident lookups. This includes doing the ident
lookup in hosts.{allow,deny}. Using USERID in xinetd is much
better than doing it in hosts.{allow,deny}, because the lookup
is done in the child for a successful connection. For a failed
connection, the ident lookup is done in the parent (painful).
2) Don't use hostnames in access control. This requires
DNS lookups. If you must use hostnames in access control, at
least run a name server locally, and leave out the "nameserver"
tag in resolv.conf. This forces the resolver to use a local socket,
rather than using an AF_INET socket to the localhost. Faster.
3) Avoid using hosts.{allow,deny}. Move these files aside,
not just empty. Use xinetd's internal access control.
4) You can up some of the numbers in xinetd/defs.h and you may
have improved performance. This is of marginal benefit compared
to the improvements listed above.
I am also looking at separating the "heavy-weight" access
control from the "light-weight" access control. This way,
hopefully I can get the "light-weight" stuff in the parent,
and the "heavy-weight" access control can go into the
child. This adds significant complexity, but should increase
performance under heavy load.
: For a failed
; connection, the ident lookup is done in the parent (painful).
: 2) Don't use hostnames in access control. This requires
: DNS lookups.
I consider this a bug in xidentd, not a feature. The
access control should be done in the child instead of
the parent process even when using hosts_access().
I think we all prefer the centralized and general access
control system of tcp wrappers instead of a non-universal
solution of a particular daemon.
This is really a philosophical difference.
On the one hand, there is the hardline approach of saying
we will not give any resources to an unknown entity
until we have verified it's authenticity to the best of
our ability. Allowing the remote host to consume a process,
do a fork, and take up an extra 200K of memory before
verifying that the remote host meets our access control
criteria, is a bug. If the host performing the access
control cannot keep up, it is safer to prevent incoming
connections than to blindly allow them to consume resources.
On the other hand, it seems wrong that the access control
should force everything to fall behind and deny connections.
First and foremost comes the availability of the service,
and you're willing to give up some system resources to
ensure availability of that service.
From the first point of view, xinetd's handling of the
situation is not a bug, it is behaving correctly and
securely. From the second point of view, xinetd is
large, slow, inefficient, and it's handling of the
situation is a bug.
As I said in my previous explaination, I am looking into
a compromise, where the parent can do the easier tasks of
checking the time, how many instances of the service are
running, etc. while handing off the host_access() call
and the address matching (which includes name lookups)
to the child process. This has some tradeoffs that are not
philosophical in nature, such as increasing the complexity
of the already complicated access control system.
What about the following approach:
- xinetd would be able to create some number (let's say 10,
it can be configurable) of children on accept uncoditionally.
- child will then verify the access control using TCP wrapper's hosts_access().
- when the verification is done (successfuly or not), the child would
notify the parent that it is either exiting or exec()ing the
real daemon.
Then you will have at most 10 processes doing access control verification
at any time, and the master will not block. The notification mechanism
can be anything from realtime signals to SysV semaphores or FC_CLOEXEC'd
pipe from parent to the child.
Let's move this discussion to the private mail, it probably does not have
relevance to RH bugzilla.

Do you have runabouts or PWCs that you tow behind your houseboat? One forum member recently had a question about how best to tow their arsenal:
AMYWV: Good day everyone, my husband and I have remodeled a 72 Drifter houseboat and when I say remodeled it has been top to bottom, inside and out- we have had our struggles and she has been a challenge but we are just about ready to enjoy it. I know many say not to get a steel hull but the hull was recently totally re-done/welded and pressure tested and we were able to get insurance. So it works for us. Anyway, my question is how to tow a 20-foot bass boat and a 3 seater Jet Ski behind it. There is not a swim platform so I don't think PWC rails will work. I thought of having a swim platform installed with the rails but that is going to get costly. The engine compartment lids take up most of the back deck so installing a lift will not work and still allow for access. I know they make the Towdster and we would need two V's towing one behind the other. But I have read mixed reviews on those. My husband was asking about towing the ski maybe with Mooring Whips on the side? Any other ideas or thoughts? We are on a river and will be going slow.
easttnboater: I have always towed my "little" boats and jet skis behind my houseboat with a simple rope. I use one of the multi-person towable ropes rated at 5,000. It floats, so unless you do something extreme, it will not get caught in your prop. Tie one off each corner and you will be fine. Don't make it more complicated than it is.
Endurance: I tow at least one ski boat every trip. For a lot of those trips, I have done it just like East TN described with a tube rope. Mine looks like this:
A tube rope works well because they are strong enough but they float. If you tow with a nylon rope, it it a question of when, not if, you will suck it into a prop. The tubing rope also has a little bit of elasticity. That is nice when you get to the end of the rope and it snaps tight. When I tow two boats on ropes, I attach one rope to each corner of my houseboat and use different length ropes to make sure the boats can't bump into each other. More recently, I have switched to this kind of tow device: the BoatHitch. I love everything about it except the price tag. It might be overkill for your situation unless you do a lot of towing.

Now back in Singapore and all I can think of is diet. In fact, I do not have a single craving for any of those delicacies that I have had in the recent times. May be that was all that I could handle. It is now time to get back to routine and get back to my fitness and weight loss regime. I have set a goal for myself and once my jet lag is gone, I will be starting to work towards it.
Here is a simple meal to start with which is extremely easy to assemble and good to eat, not to forget the healthy quotient which makes it even more desirable. Caprese is basically an Italian salad and served as an antipasti or a starter. I found this recipe on the internet and then twisted it as per my liking and availability of ingredients. Fresh Basil is a prime ingredient for Caprese but I was out of stock. So I added a few other ingredients to make up for the flavor and the result was awesome. If you love Quinoa, you must try this recipe!!
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 big onion finely chopped
1 tbsp garlic chopped
1/2 cup mushroom sliced
3 tomatoes, 2 thinly sliced and 1 cut into quarters
1/4 cup corn kernels
1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
1 tsp dried basil (fresh basil recommended)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3-4 slices of mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Wash and rinse the quinoa and add 3/4 cup water and let it come to a boil. Now cover and simmer till all the water has been absorbed. Fork the quinoa to avoid stickiness. Keep aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil and fry the onions till translucent and add the garlic. Fry till fragrant. Add the mushrooms and the corn and fry till cooked. If using fresh Basil, add it now. Add salt and pepper and the rest of the seasoning and stir. Remove from heat and keep aside.
Time to assemble. Take an ovensafe dish and mix the quinoa, roasted tomatoes, onion muxture and shredded cheddar. Check for seasoning and add if required. Now arrange tomato rings and slices of mozzarella alternately and cover the top. Cover the top loosely with an aluminium foil and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180 degree celsius for 20 minutes and then for 5-10 minutes without the cover till the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned. Serve hot!

The event was attended by 500 radiant black tie guests and a record number of politicians including Senator Eric Adams, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, Governor David A. Paterson, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York State Comptroller Thomas Dinapoli, former New York City Comptroller William Thompson, New York City Comptroller John C. Liu, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, New York City Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein and District Leader Walter T. Mosley III, Esq.
The memorable event was a pre-cursor to the White House Bipartisan Meeting on Health Reform that came to a climatic vote of approval on Sunday, March 21, 2010. The historic medical reform bill revolutionizes health care in this country and is considered President Barack Obama's greatest victory since his election to office.
The OHBM organization has always been a step above the rest and once again proved that statement right by using their annual event to honor health care leaders. Themed "Restoring Health & Building Bridges," the event honored three exceptional visionary and influential leaders hell-bent on restoring health to our community.
Dr. John Agwunobi, senior vice president & president, Walmart Health & Wellness with the distinguished service award;
Dr. Kenneth Olden, Ph.D., M.S., B.S., Founding Dean, School of Public Health, City University of New York, Hunter College with the distinguished physician community service award; and
Mark Wagar, president, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, with the corporate citizen award. In addition to the honorees, Errol Pierre, a sales manager at Empire BlueCross BlueShield was saluted as mentor of the year.
"I am delighted to recognize the importance of restoring health to our community by honoring three truly visionary and influential leaders at our 30th annual benefit gala, Dr. John Agwunonbi, Dr. Kenneth Olden, and Mark Wagar, " said OHBMNY president Philip L. Banks Jr.
"Tonight we shine a spotlight on the health issues in our community. As we celebrate more than four decades of achievement, One Hundred Black Men, Inc. is delighted to award the accomplishments of these outstanding men," Banks added.
Paul Busby was gala chairman and the benefit committee members included Philip L. Banks, Terrence Banks, Horace Barker, Glenis Frank, David P. Brand, Will Brown, Rudy Ceres, Mark Getachew, Fitzgerald Miller, R. Donahue Peebles, Craig Simmons, Hilton O. Smith and Howard Watts.
"I'm deeply appreciative of and would also like to thank all of our contributors and sponsors whose continued generosity will assist One Hundred Black Men to reach our communities and develop programs like the Eagle Academy Schools, our mentoring and scholarships," said Busby.
"I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Craig Simmons, Glenis Frank, the members of our gala committee, and other volunteers who devoted their precious time to coordinating this gala," Busby concluded.
OHBMNY thanks its partners for their support of the outstanding annual benefit including: Bloomberg, LP, News Corporation, Walmart (diamond); Empire BlueCross BlueShield (platinum); Con Edison, CUNY, Democrats for Education Reform, New York Life Insurance (bronze); Coke Enterprises, Continuum Health Partners, Entergy, Macy's, Miller Coors, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, NYSE Euronext, Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, Pepsi, Turner Construction, United Federation of Teachers, UPS, US Army (patron); and TD Bank, Turner Construction, Uptown Magazine, Williams Capital (contributor).
One Hundred Black Men, Inc. of New York City was founded in 1963 when a group of successful African American men, including Judge Robert Mangum, David N. Dinkins and businessman J. Bruce Llewellyn, came together to pool their resources to positively impact the Black community.
The distinguished organization's service projects focus on mentoring, education, health and wellness, and economic development. The organization has a long and successful history working with its corporate and community partners to make significant differences in the lives of the communities it serves.
Two celebrated examples are the establishment of The Eagle Academy for Young Men in the Bronx and in Brooklyn, each with a focus on academic excellence, leadership and character development. (Photos by Audrey J. Bernard and Margot Jordan)

In late January I had the opportunity to attend Photonics West in San Francisco (over 23,000 attendees and 5000 presentations!). The area of photonics – as you can guess, is the branch of technology concerned with the properties and transmission of photons, for example in fiber optics. In Finland there are over 200 companies working in the area of Photonics, with over 50% of the companies having less than 10m euros in revenue and less than 15 employees. Nevertheless the industry is growing rapidly with market growing 20% annually, revenue 27% annually and employee numbers approximately 18% annually. From a Finnish perspective the companies export mainly to Europe (48%) and internally in Finland (44%). As can be seen from the numbers, exporting out of Europe into the US is a great opportunity, hence the strong attendance at Photonics West this year.
Attendance was a blend of Swedish and Finnish companies (though it did feel that the Finns overwhelmed the event). There were local US companies also in attendance, some in the M&A and investment field obviously having a look at what the Nordics could offer. Representing Finland were a range of companies such as Gasera, Nanocopm, Promiceler, VTT, Oplatek, Brighterwave, Senop, Ampliconx, Dispelix, Emberion, Specim, Spectral Engines, KimmyPhotonics, Nextrom, Optofidelity, NomiCam, ReflexKron, and several universities such as Tampere University of Technology and University of Eastern Finland. A strong presence all with pretty much the same goal – how to take Finnish expertise and make it big in the US.

[UPDATE April 3: Johnson enlarged his anti-Weinstein screed to respond to Kirchick's dismissive tweet below. In the new, revised screed, we learn that calling someone a faggot builds cohesion and intimacy, and that Johnson is at a complete loss of what to do with his IQ of 145-154. We suggest shoving it.]
Chuck C. Johnson took a few moments away from his anti-Michelle Fields obsession today to publish an inflammatory, rambling post calling a National Review writer a "malicious, conniving faggot" who "shills" for foreign governments.
Apparently Jamie Kirchick got on Johnson's bad side (easy to do, really) by connecting the alt-right movement to neo-nazis and white supremacists in an article in the National Review. While the rest of the world would find nothing shocking or inaccurate about Kirchick's assessment, Johnson, who claims he has friends in all three groups, took the revelations rather personally.
As usual, Johnson's measured and calm response was character assassination, innuendo, and just plain vindictiveness.
Oh, my, to quote George Takei.
Kirchick's comment on Twitter, which has banned Johnson for life (we hope), was appropriately dismissive.
Most of this Chuck Johnson expose of me is incorrect, except the part about my being a "malicious, conniving faggot" https://t.co/VB4RQRDPJX
— Jamie Kirchick (@jkirchick) April 2, 2016
[See below for Johnson's rebuttal.]
So, here's what Kirchick did to punch Johnson's hot buttons.
First, his analysis was headlined "Why white-nationalist thugs thrill to Trump." Bad, Jamie, bad. Everyone knows "thug" in Chuck Johnson's world means "black guy who was probably just shot dead by a white cop for doing perfectly ordinary things like buying Skittles." White guys cannot, therefore, be thugs, since they are neither black nor dead.
Next, Kirchick made the connection between these nice, gentle, law-abiding white supremacists to Donald Trump (R-Blowhard), who next to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Alberta) is Johnson's second-favorite Conservative God Who Will Save (white male) Americans from the Fiery Pits of Social Justice Warriors.
Trump's tirades against Mexicans, Muslims and immigrants in general have made him very popular among people in the alt-right movement who don't like Mexicans, Muslims and immigrants in general (among others). Also, not surprisingly, the alt-right movement's membership and political philosophy intersects — if not coincides — with that of neo-nazis, nativists and white supremacists.
That it took the National Review this long to notice this intersection would be the subject of a long and boring analysis, but it can be summarized thusly.
Anyway, this cogent analysis set Johnson's teeth on edge, because besides loving Trump almost as much as Cruz, Chuckie also appears to be a nativist, a "scientific racist" and a white supremacist (except Asians — they're OK, coz he married one). He has referred to The Bell Curve as a seminal influence on his life. he says, non-white immigrants are bad, except Asians, of course. He says African-American men are genetically pre-disposed to violence. Also, he has asserted that gay men are more likely to do drugs and have mental problems.
So, Johnson came out swinging — wildly, as usual.
Kirchick apparently referred to Andrew Breitbart (pbuh) and Breitbart "News" in a less than reverential manner, prompting Johnson to remind everyone once a-fcking-gain that he used to work for Breitbart (pbuh) and that argle bargle Donald Trump four times, chicken burrito.
[OK, he didn't bring up the chicken burrito incident again, but we bet he was thinking about.]
Then, Johnson rambles on about how Kirchick, who is a foreign policy wonk, has traveled abroad, met foreign people, worked with lobbyists from foreign countries and (shocker!) written articles about foreign relations.
Totally a shill.
How this foreign policy wonking has anything to do with the alt-right movements and Donald Trump is beyond us, but that's how Johnson rolls. Connect the dots, people!
No hit piece by Johnson would be complete without at least one mention of some slight committed by the subject against Johnson, and we are not disappointed this time. It seems the paths of Kirchick and Johnson crossed at the Wall Street Journal, where Johnson was once an intern.
Finally, Johnson ends his screed with a defense of the alt-right movement that ironically confirms most of what Kirchick was saying.
Take that, you Jewish gay neo-conservative shill person, you! You can't be in our clubhouse anymore!
UPDATE April 3: Johnson monitors Twitter, so he got wind of Kirchick's sarcastic tweet above. In typical fashion, his reply misses the point. Kirchick said everything Johnson said was inaccurate, except the part where Kirchick is a "malicious, conniving faggot." So. what does Johnson do? He defends using the word "faggot" in a bit of what appears to be beat poetry.
Kirchick took the bait
of me calling him a
& turned it into
a pull quote.
Doesn't he know …
doesn't mean what he thinks
it means on
the Internet?
Like … the word
faggot is used to
strip away
all niceties of
It's a way of
using the
violation of the taboo
to build intimacy
[bongos, finger snapping]
At the end of the post, Johnson addresses accusations that he believes in conspiracy theories, and manages to work in a reference to his latest obsession, Michelle Fields, and his 2013 exposé of the Wall Street Journal's Syria "expert," who had faked her résumé — for which Johnson, then a WSJ intern, was fired — by a friend of Kirchick. So, no conspiracy theory there.
He also once again accuses Dave Weigel of the Washington Post of being mentally ill.
Then, we are treated to Johnson's efforts to wave away accusations that he is anti-Semitic, given his earlier harsh references to Kirchick's religion. He only digs himself a deeper hole. We have done screencaps to show we are not making this shit up.
So, are you getting some understanding why Johnson doesn't like Kirchick calling white supremacists "thugs?" It hits a little too close to home.

The bowler uncorked the ball. In one instant I held dominion over all eyes, even (perhaps I exaggerate) those of the itinerant cows who come by the sandlot in the evening to graze.
I, cricket-batsman, wicket-protector, first-overall-draft-choice, swung.
Thwack!! Contact!
(Later in the evening, in the afterglow of a new experience which, like the sunset, is susceptible to abstraction, I reflected that upon the exact moment in which bat met ball, the sandlot became a microcosm of my entire state of being in India: cows, stray dogs, strewn garbage, honking horns, passing trains, oppressive heat, the curious and almost entranced eyes of onlookers; and I in the middle of it all, willing myself somehow to feel a natural part of it...)
But getting back to the actual point where the ball left my bat, it was a beautiful parabola in slow motion; the ball arched gracefully high above the field and returned to Earth with no less grace, caught effortlessly, barehanded, by a ten-year-old boy.
In baseball terms it was a pop-fly to the second baseman. The humiliating infield-fly rule would have been invoked; an easy out.
I turned around and shrugged knowingly at my teammates, while behind me the young lad who'd caught my meagre effort joyously jumped around holding the ball like the IPL trophy.
As it happened, my quick out boded ill for the rest of my team. Even with a back-to-back pair of fours by Sunil in the ninth over, at the end of our innings we'd put nineteen runs on the imaginary scoreboard. This was, I quickly learned, so dismal an effort that the team briefly considered conceding and begging a restart.
Roles swapped, my team took the field (does one 'take' the field in cricket?) and positioned me quite shallow to the right of the bowler, a position which, though I don't know its name, is by all evidence a critical one, and a busy one.
Off the bats of the opposing team's boys the ball careened in my direction again and again, skipping off the pitch with eye-popping zigs and zags as it changed direction with each pebble or tuft of grass or divot of dirt or morsel of rubbish that it felt along the way.
(I fared better when the ball came at me without touching the ground; not only was this a clean-and-simple out; not only did my act of catching even the most routine of fly balls endear me to my teammates; but making this play obviated the need for immediate subsequent brainwork.)
In the game of cricket, once the novice fielder, having corralled a hop-skip-and-jumping ground ball into his hands, raises his eyes to field level, he witnesses a scene of incomprehensible disarray: the man with the bat is running toward him; but wait, another man with a bat is running away from him!
Swift little feet--my teammates'--kick up dust as they move their bodies into new locations: beside wickets, behind wickets, in front of wickets, between wickets. Everyone is running, everyone is shouting, everyone is waving arms... everyone wants the ball, or at least wants me to release it!
Madness, I report from the field.
India seemed so orderly when I held the bat. Sure, I was the centre of countless wondering attentions, but the world was still; a man had his moment of clarity.
But when I hold the ball, India is utter chaos, a sandlot of rising dust and eye-blurring perpetual motion.
What does one do in this situation? One fixes his eyes on something, on any one thing, and moves toward it before he is run over by the uncontrollable mayhem. And so I underhanded the ball to the nearest standing-next-to-the-wickets teammate (doubtless he has an official title) who in a continuous motion redirected the ball into said wickets and made (wow!) an out.
I did have a chance to bowl an over: six balls thrown on target, mercifully only two of which were sent screaming over my and everyone's heads for a six. (A home run, as it were; and what happens to a baseball pitcher who surrenders two home runs in one inning? Again I digress).
In the end we lost by something like three runs with two overs and four wickets to spare (or they had them to spare; I'm not sure). That, in sandlot cricket, is a blowout.
Strangely, as this unfamiliar game ended, so did something completely familiar: English. I'd barely noticed it at the time, but for quite a lot of these children it seems the breadth of their vocabulary in my native language is comprised mainly of cricket calls: Good out, wide ball, good catch, no ball, single, double, four, six, over...
Over the course of this game so incomprehensible to me, we had (I say at the risk of my metaphor-cup finally running over) actually been speaking my language all along.
So until we meet again, sandlot, danyavad and suba ratri, thank you and goodnight.

Anger. It's a massive contributor to relapse. How many times did we justify our drug use because of something that occurred due to an angry outburst. There may have been times we even created arguments with our family or friends just so we could get ourselves worked up, firey and then on a mission to go and score drugs, or indulge in addictive behaviours like gambling, sex addiction or over eating and exercise.
How many times did we become agitated and impatient because we were withdrawing from drugs or desperate to indulge in our addiction. We flew off the handle with the people we loved and cared for.
Anger is a big contributor to relapse because of these reasons and only causes us to become angry with our ownselves which resulted in self-depricating behaviours and further exaccerbating our addictions.
Anger management is a huge part of our recovery and also as we begin to embrace Islam we remember that the Prophet saws had the best of manners and he came to perfect our manners. He never got angry unless it was for the sake of Allah.
A man came to the Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked him for advice. He (Peace and blessings be upon him) said,
"Do not become angry."
The man repeated his request for advice, and each time, the Prophet replied with this one phrase that sums up all good attitudes and behavior: "Do not become angry." (Bukhari)
"The strong man is not the one who can wrestle, but it is the one who can control himself when he is angry." (Bukhari) When we are in recovery, it is important that we try to minimse the opportunities for us to become angry. With this hadith in mind, we must learn to walk away from conflict and potential arguments. Umar ibn al Khitab, early Muslim and 2nd Caliph of Islam said;
"I have not regretted my silence once. As for my speech,i have regretted it over and over again"
In recovery from addiction we must learn to improve our character flaws and change the negative behaviours that have become habitual. If we claim to be in recovery or on the path of Allah yet continue with our destructive anger, then we need to check in with ourselves and look at what needs to change.
We need to work out where this anger is stemming from. One of the number one reasons for relapsing is resentments against others. Islam teaches us to overcome our grudges and forgive eachother. The Prophet saws forgave his enemies often and preferred mercy over anger. He had many opportunities to become angry or resentful but he, peace be upon him, always chose forgiveness. He is our role model, and in recovery we must strive to take on this beautiful attribute. We must try to cleanse our hearts of ill feelings and resentments against others. Is it not the case that we have hurt so many through our addiction but want forgiveness from those people? The Prophet, saws, said;
"Do not be angry with each other and do not envy each other and do not turn away from each other, and be slaves of Allah, brothers. It is not permissible for a Muslim to shun his brother for more than three nights." (Imam Malik's Muwatta)
Sometimes forgiveness does not come easy. Perhaps, we forgive a person but they keep on giving us a reason to be angry. This is a test from Allah and we need to struggle on and get through this. Shaitaan loves to see relationships broken, especially close family. Shaitan loves to see us fight and hate. We must seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan in order to keep ourselves guarded against anger and resentments.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, instructed us to cool ourselves with water by making ablution when we become angry. If we are able to do this, we must. It will be a purification for that 'hot head' and we will repel the shaitan. He, peace be upon him, also instructed us to change our physical position. He, peace be upon him, said;
"If any of you becomes angry and he is standing, let him sit down, so that his anger will go away. If iit does not go away, let him lie down." (Ahmad)
Not only will we begin to see improvements in our recovery and in our spiritual well-being in general but with the right intention, to serve and please Allah by controlling our anger, we will inshaAllah reap the benefits of this struggle in the next life too.
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
"Do not become angry, and Paradise is yours." (Sahih al Jamil)
The Messenger of Allah said:
"Whoever controls his anger at the time when he has the means to act upon it, Allah will call him before all of mankind on the Day of Resurrection, and will let him choose of the Hur al-'Ayn whoever he wants." (Abu Dawud)
Allah has told us in His Holy Book, The Qur'an;
"And march forth in the way to forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous; those who spend in prosperity and in adversity, repress anger, and pardon men. Verily, Allah loves the good-doers." [Al 'Imran; 134]

FOXBORO, Mass. — The life of an NFL prospect is a bit of a whirlwind, to say the least.
A week ago, Derek Rivers was going through his final preparations for the 2017 NFL Draft, hoping to be one of the 253 names called in Philadelphia. Fast forward seven days, and Rivers was on the field at Gillette Stadium, being officially introduced to the New England media along with the rest of the Patriots' 2017 draft class.
Rivers, the Patriots' top pick this year (83rd overall), said Thursday he hasn't had a chance to meet any current New England players outside of his fellow draftees. But the young defensive end is very excited to meet one in particular: quarterback Tom Brady.
"I'm going to be starstruck (when I meet Brady), I'm not going to lie," Rivers said. "I got to meet (Carolina Panthers All-Pro linebacker) Luke Kuechly earlier in the year in Cincinnati, and I was starstruck then, so I can only imagine what it's going to be like when I meet Brady. It'll be crazy."
Rivers also had nice things to say about Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who emceed the brief introduction ceremony.
"Oh man, Mr. Kraft is an awesome dude," Rivers said. "I love him to death. Real laid-back. We were just laughing and joking. He thinks we can take on the Celtics as far as everybody that he brought in with our height."
All four Patriots draft picks — Rivers, defensive end Deatrich Wise and offensive tackles Antonio Garcia and Conor McDermott — stand between 6-foot-4 and 6-foot-8.
"There's definitely something in the milk they're drinking," Kraft quipped.

There is no need to cancel your plans on staying abroad because of financing issues. The International Office advises about diverse funding possibilities
- A semester or internship within Europe (including Turkey and several countries oversees, excluding Switzerland) can be promoted by the Erasmus+ Programme of the EU Commission
- Planning on doing a semester abroad in non-EU countries you can apply for the Baden-Wuerttemberg Scholarship
- Planning on doing an internship abroad in non-EU countries you can apply for a travel allowance at the PROMOS-Programme
Erasmus+ Programme
Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe.
Its budget of €14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, gain experience, and volunteer abroad. Set to last until 2020, Erasmus+ doesn't just have opportunities for students. Merging seven prior programmes, it has opportunities for a wide variety of individuals and organisations.
Participating countries are all 28 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, FYR, Macedonia, Norway, Turkey.
Baden-Wuerttemberg Scholarship

I don't know that DW or FP ever generated code that was search engine unfriendly to begin with. Even when they inserted proprietary code I can't recall any specific instances when a WYSIWYG generated page was responsible for a drop in the SERPs, ever. Maybe the page didn't validate to W3C standards, but that's a recent concern for most. Where did this rumor start?
Anyone esle got any thoughts on this?
The reason i ask is i want to know whether to keep using an editor like webplus or similar or if i need to bite the bullet and use a web designer. I know some SEO, but i dont have time to learn html, im just way to busy. I want to do my own site but i dont want to be behind the 8 ball from the start re ranking high for important keywords. Its hard enough as it is without starting behind the pack.
Thanks again

Comprehensive M&A data with integrated detailed company information
Zhejiang Guocheng takes control of Jianxin Mining
Posted on Tuesday, 13 February 2018 14:22
Zhejiang Guocheng Holding is acquiring a significant stake in Jianxin Mining for CNY 6.56 billion (USD 1.04 billion) as part of the bankruptcy reorganisation of the Jianxin Group.
The company, formed last year as a platform to carry out the restructuring, has made a tender offer to acquire a total of 671.16 million shares representing a 59.0 per cent holding in the non-ferrous metal explorer.
Beijing Saide Wanfang Investment and Beijing Zhishang Maihe Investment are each handing over their 26.5 per cent and 6.5 per cent interests, respectively.
The offer of CNY 9.77 is a slight discount to Jianxin Mining's stock price of CNY 10.95 when its shares were suspend in September, though they resumed trading on 7th February.
At the time, the group said it is looking into developing sepiolite resources in partnership with a state-owned enterprise funded by Xiangtan city.
Jianxin Mining is focused on non-ferrous, ferrous and rare metals, and mineral resources, such as coal mining, flotation and smelting, and its products include zinc concentrate, lead concentrate and zinc ingots.
In the three months ended 30th September 2017, the group generated net profit attributable to shareholders of CNY 114.00 million on revenue of CNY 289.00 million.
Zinc has good resistance to corrosion and is widely used in metallurgy, building materials, mechanical and electrical, chemical and the automotive sectors.
In terms of lead, the biggest application is to make lead acid batteries while copper is distributed in the electrical and electronics industries, as well as construction and defence, among others.
Companies operating in the metal and metal products sector have announced 202 mergers and acquisitions so far this calendar year, according to Zephyr, the M&A database published by Bureau van Dijk.
At the moment, Jianxin Mining is currently the largest by value, followed by a minority stake deal featuring China Hongqiao (USD 798.16 million).

Some hear Beretta and think gun or Chevrolet.
You, however, being unarmed and Chevy-free, will soon hear Beretta, opening tomorrow, and think
late-night Mission hangout set to offer what's much more important in life: a good slice and a strong
Beretta's small, relaxed, modern tavern feel will be easy to settle into—take your seat at the bar and
order up a drink, because this place is all about the sharp slinging heavyweights behind the slab.
Cocktail giants Thad Vogler (Slanted Door, Jardiniere), Todd Smith and JonSanter (who recently left Bourbon
& Branch in a cocktail coup of sorts) all under one roof and behind one bar might just make this spot
the next wave in drinking.
Order the Single Village Fix, a house favorite made with Del Maguey Minero Mezcal and homemade
pineapple syrup. We also like the Airmail (aged Haitian rum, Prosecco, honey) for its old-school
champagne coupe glass, which, legend has it, was modeled after the breast of Marie Antoinette (that's
inspiration for a toast if we ever heard one). The individual-sized Funghi Misti and Boccalone
Artisan Salumi pizzas washdown well with a Nero d'Avola from the all-Italian wine list.
May we recommend this plan: cocktails first, pizza and wine second, and shots of El Tesoro or Los Danzantes
Mezcal last.
In other words, make it a late night.

40th Birthday Gift for Your Best Friend - Sea Glass Jewellery - Wirewrapped Green French Sea Glass Necklace - Bonjour Sea Glass
The bright spring sunshine danced on the gentle waves of the Mediterranean and shone on the rocky shores. Tucked in between and under the warm, rounded rocks, like treasure waiting to be found, were pieces of genuine sea glass. The ocean waves lapped at the shore and the sounds of Old Town Nice faded into the background as more and more sea glass treasures were discovered.
My collection of French sea glass is very limited, and each piece of jewelry is completely unique to reflect their rarity. This piece of green sea glass has been carefully wrapped in square copper wire bound with a very small gauge brass wire in one of my signature open-front wrap styles.
The pendant is 1 1/4" long (including the bail) by 3/4" wide.
This pendant will ship with a 20" black satin cord (with 2" nickel free extension) in a small box or organza bag, suitable for storage or gift-giving.
No metal chain is included. If you'd like to add a chain, they can be purchased here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/241856022
Please see all pictures. Nice has a rocky beach, so many of the pieces of sea glass found there (including this one) have naturally occurring pitting and areas where the frosted surface has been chipped away. Once upon a time, this glass was probably part of a wine bottle, that found its way into the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean!
Looking for copper jewelry? There is more here:
Beach glass and sea glass are different names for the same thing - people near oceans usually refer to the glass found on the beach as sea glass, while those of us near lakes call it beach glass. Sea pottery is created in the same way as beach/sea glass.
The action of the waves and the sand smooth the glass, just as sandpaper smooths the surface of wood. I only use authentic sea glass / beach glass in all of my jewelry.

If your jewelry or ornament darkens, and you don't like the look of patina (I love it!), it can be polished until it sparkles again.
Sometimes tarnish from metal can get onto the beach glass giving it a clouded or dirty look. A gentle scrub of a soft toothbrush with warm water and soap will clean it off.
Dry the piece (air dry or use a hairdryer) before polishing the wire.
Rub the metal surface with medium pressure. Non-scratching polishing & cleansing cloths work until the cloth is completely darkened. Polishing cloths can be found online or at local craft shops. I don't suggest using pastes or other chemicals to clean the metal of your pieces, because the chemicals could get into the tiny pores of sea glass and affect its appearance.

As I was beginning to write this article, media outlets were reporting that the Himachali village of Malana, a name you are most likely to have heard in relation to some very high quality Mary Jane, has banned tourists. Contrary to what the headlines reported the ban is actually the closure of all guest houses and restaurants in the village, so it wasn't confirmed as I posted this article if day trips are also prohibited, and the 'village ban' is actually an 'order' from their presiding deity Jamlu, who wants 'to protect' local culture from the onslaught of external influence. This new ban follows an earlier one prohibiting photography.

Despite having stayed in Himachal Pradesh for a number of years, I know very few people who have been to Malana. Mainly because there are so many strange stories about the place among the locals, some possibly true, some obviously made up. Of course, these very stories add to this place's mystery and semi-mythical nature, attracting hordes of travelers every year, even those who are not just looking to smoke up. This village remains one of the few destinations in India that has managed to keep itself a relative secret, and hence is a very desirable place to visit for the most adventurous traveler.
The village of between 1500-2000 residents is by all accounts an ancient one, located 8,700 ft above sea level in the Parvati Valley, about 45 km from Kullu. Not just its height, but the location on a remote plateau beside a torrential river has kept it comfortably isolated from outside influences for centuries. Much of the village's antecedents are unclear. The village deity, Jamlu Devta, is believed to have been worshipped since pre-Aryan times, while some myths cite him as the sage Jamdagni, Parashuram's father. The most popular story about the community's origins is that they are descendants of soldiers left behind from Alexander's army from around 320 BCE. The physical features of many residents seem to support this claim, but no genetic proof has been able to corroborate it.

Recent genetic typing has actually just found that the geographical and linguistic isolation, along with a highly endogamous culture, contributed to the development of a distinct culture among these people of Indo-Aryan origin.
Distinct Features of the Community
Governing System – It has had its own democratic governing system for a long time – some even call it the oldest democracy in India – where council members are chosen by the villagers, who decide on important matters, with their orders treated as coming directly from their deity. The 'parliament' has a lower house, Kanishthang, and an upper house, Jayeshthang, with the unanimous decisions of the former referred to the higher body for final verdict. A villager requiring police or government involvement in a matter has to pay a monetary fine to the council. The common punishments meted by the council are either monetary or in the form of exile from the valley.

Architecture – Houses are built of stone and timber, with mud-plastered inner walls and wooden outer walls. Two or three storied-houses are the norm. The lowest one – khudang – acts as cattle shed as well as store for firewood and fodder. The first floor is the gaying, used to store eatables, wood and wool. The top floor, with an overhanging balcony, is called pati, and is meant for actual living.
Language – One of the most interesting aspects of Malana is the unique language called Kanashi, which is a mix of Sanskritic and Tibetan elements. As a result, none of the residents of surrounding areas, who normally speak Indo-Aryan languages, or from areas like Lahaul-Spiti, who speak Tibetan dialects, can understand it.
Customs – The villagers have very extreme standards of purity, which require outsiders to not touch them, their belongings or even the walls of the houses. Food/water served to outsiders is placed on the table or the ground. These rules are even more stringent when it comes to the Jamdagni Temple, where entry of outsiders isn't allowed.

The people are also very conscious of respecting their ecological heritage. Fixing nails on a tree, fire-burning inside the forest (wildfires are a major hazard in Himachal Pradesh), and using anything but already broken and dried out branches as firewood are prohibited, as is hunting, unless specifically permitted by the village council. Marriage is a very simple affair without any priest or rituals – known as rakshasi marriage, which is not to be confused with the rakshasa marriage (marriage by abduction) in Hinduism. Divorcees and widows can remarry; polygamy is allowed for men. Even the last rites after a resident's death are very simple.
The villagers consider themselves largely of Rajput origin. The Dhamyani and the Dhurani Rajputs reside in Upper Malana (Dhar Beda), while the Nagvani and Pachani Rajputs stay in Lower Malana (Sor Beda), though the hierarchy is not strictly enforced, with inter-sub-caste marriages common.

Festivals – If you time your visit right, you can be in the village during either of their two major festivals – Badoh mela in August, and Fagdi mela in February. These are the only times when the villagers are very open in their interaction with their neighbours, communal dances are organized, and everyone has good fun.
This is not to say that the villagers aren't friendly to tourists. The village is an extremely poor one, with low standards of education and hygiene, and with very few resources for earning money. Tourists (and, unfortunately, buyers of their main product) bring in much-needed cash, and despite occasional instructions from Jamlu Devta, they appreciate the presence of tourists, as long as it doesn't affect their normal pace of living.

Getting There
Kullu is the nearest large town, which is about 500 km by road from Delhi and 270 km from Chandigarh. Kullu's Bhuntar airport does not have regular service, so these two cities are the best bets if you are flying down. Three mountain passes connect Kullu to Malana. While you could try the 3180 m Rashol Pass via the Parbati Valley or the 3600 m Chanderkhani Pass via Naggar, the easiest option is from Jari, which is a 23 km picturesque trek to the village.
Jari is located at a 2 hour drive from Kullu, at the confluence of the Malana and Manikaran nallahs, which join to form the Parbati River. About 1.5 km from Jari is the Malana powerhouse, where visitors have to get their names registered before entering the valley. A 10 km trek from the powerhouse will take you to the dam, from where it is a 7 km uneven and treacherously uphill trek to Malana, via a hamlet called Chowki. The trek is not for everyone, but the lush greenery and beautiful waterfalls and streams can be extremely rewarding for those who try.
There are some basic arrangements for stay in the village, but given that these may or may not be open now for outsiders, you could stay in Kullu or Manali, or try some less crowded areas nearby like Kasol or Naggar.

A drive to enter Heckington in the Lincolnshire Best Kept Village Competition so volunteers out and about litter picking over the weekend at the end of April and another session is planned this weekend in readiness for the judges.
Co-ordinated by Coun Midge Collins, the litter pick was held on the Saturday Sunday and Monday of the bank holiday weekend with volunteers invited to help clear their own areas.
Parish clerk Julie Hudson said: "We were very visible in our high vis vests and concentrating on the central parts of the village meant that we were able to spread the word as we worked. Hopefully our enthusiasm will encourage a few more volunteers to come forward on the next outing and take part in the project."
There will be another litter picking drive for volunteers meeting on the village green at 10am this Saturday when the new focus will be on getting rid of weeds found growing alongside pavements. If people are unable to attend on that day, even just clearing the front of their own properties would be a help and much appreciated, said Mrs Hudson.
"All efforts will also hopefully have a lasting effect on the visual impact of the village for the show weekend too of course," she said. "I would think that many visitors to the show last year noticed the decorated houses and enjoyed the village atmosphere which hopefully will be picked up by the judges in the Best Kept Village competition if we can encourage hanging baskets and other pretty displays to be done towards the end of May.
The first round of three is due to start from May 27.
