Eddie Merlot's Prime Aged Beef & Seafood - Ashburn
Top Tags:
Amazing food, amazing staff!
Mark our server was excellent. The only thing that wasn't perfect was where our table was, very close to 2 large groups. So a little less romantic than it could have been. The food was great the company was fantastic. The waitstaff was wonderful. No room for dessert.
Staff was busy with a larger party in another room. We should of just sat in main dining room instead of a table on the bar side. Now we know.
Jeremy was amazing!!
The service was good just the food took a little bit longer then expected, but nice atmosphere and lovely setting.
We had a wonderful dinner at Eddie's! Our food and service were excellent. We shared the 10 oz ribeye and it was prepared perfectly and served beautifully. Thanks to all for making it a wonderful experience from cocktails to dessert!
Eddie Merlot has a wonderful atmosphere and the food is very flavorful. Do yourself a favor and order any steak. It's very good!
Delicious food with outstanding service. Thanks to Taya who always give us outstanding service
We ordered the meals from the special "Make a Wish Foundation" menu and the food took forever and was cold. Crab legs were awful. They did not taste good (too salty/fishy tasting) and were not split but they are on regular menu. Asked about splitting them and they said this was a special. Filet was tough too. Will never go back to this restaurant!!!
Food, meh. Carla, great server!! She made it worth it.
The service was excellent however the food was not. Rib-eye was cooked to order however it was not tender and had a bit too much fattiness.
I love going to Eddie Merlot's. From the hostess, to the wait staff, server and management, everyone is always very pleasant. Most importantly the food is excellent. I have a dairy allergy however the chief was not skimpy on flavor, my bone in filet, with steamed broccoli was absolutely delicious.
Excellent steak, delicious appetizers and sides. Yummy carrot cake. We had a lovely evening!
Excellent service and food as always. The wait staff are always courteous.
First time my wife and I have dined here. Total experience from Food, Ambiance to Service was a 5 star experience. We highly recommend dining here for any occasion!
Andy is such a great waiter. He recognizes us when we come in. He's a great asset for Eddie Merlot's. Food was great as usual. Liked some of the newer items like the cheese board and steamed spinach. Did not like the new corn casserole. We really loved the creamed corn that was on the menu before the recent changes. Always a great wine selection too. We sat in the dining room since it was a special occasion but we really enjoy the bar area too. We're very glad Eddie Merlot's came to northern Virginia!!!
Great time, service and food were fantastic. Very sweet people who work there, made us feel at home.
The server was overwhelmed with serving 5 tables. We had been there before and had wonderful service. We had to flag the server we had from filling water to asking for bread to clearing the table. A little disappointed.
My husband and I chose to go to Eddie Merlots for our wedding anniversary dinner and we were greatly disappointed. The service was slow, food was mediocre, especially for the price that was paid, and there was no effort made by the staff to make our anniversary dinner special. Will likely not return.
Great experience. Only thing was there was a reception there and we were seated next to the open door so noice was a little loud but not distractingly loud.
Had the Wagyu outstanding
Waiter outstanding
Bacon outstanding
The restaurant is lovely. The decor is exquisite. The service is superb. The scallops were seared and served a top a corn and jalapeno relish. Unusual, but yummy.
Service was exceptional!
Food quality and preparation were excellent!
Love this place! Excellent every time!
Couple of issues this time: 1. The tomahawk rib-eye was cooked correctly (medium-rare), but was cold by the time it arrived at our table. I suspect is rested for too long in the kitchen. 2. The server pouring the wine into our wine glasses was pouring heavily in one glass, but left much much less for the other glass at our table. Without exaggeration, my wife probably ended-up with one-third of the bottle versus my getting two-thirds of the bottle from a per pour perspective.
Good service & great food. Fantastic menu selection, chefs top notch!
Great night. Thanks Meg.
Coconut ( the dog ) loved the tomahawk steak bone.
For the price you shouldn't have to wait 45 -55 min for appetizers. Food was good, descent wine selection, server was nice. Nothing that blew us away.
we were totally disappointed.
The bread was great, the shrimp cocktail had no sauce which was its signature, the chopped salad had no reason to be so overpriced other than it was mainly lettuce, the creamed spinach was all cheese and no spinach.
The steaks were very good but when I opened by box when i got home my leftover very expensive steak has been placed in the middle of my leftover very creamy, creamed spinach.
Not a great experience for a $ 200.00 dinner !
EXCELLENT place!
Food was fine. Nothing bad just not exciting .Service not great. Pushy at beginning and then disappeared. .
It was a nice anniversary dinner.
Service was superb and the food was excellent.
We have teen to the restaurant for many times. Service is always excellent by Taya. She gave us an excellent service. Excellent wine selection and chilled martini. Our crab and avocado salad was delicious. My husband Bison ribeye was cook to perfection, but my bourbon ribeye was over cooked and 2 shrimp wrapped with bacon were raw. I had to send them back. I was big disappointed because you are steak house you should know to cook steak to perfection
Steak was improperly prepared and not highest quality for the price.
Arrived 30 minutes early and were asked if we would like to be seated or visit the bar, we chose to be seated. Everything was fantastic from the service, our waitresses recommendations, the food and the ambiance. We will be back!
Great experience! Fabulous service, and the food was "off the charts".
Delicious food with outstanding service. Taya is awesome. She is always take great care of us. Delicious crab and avocado salad as an appetizer. Bison filet and bourbon ribeye were perfectly cooked. We will be back
Food was great as always. Service was lacking. Our server. Andy, was quite the talker... with the other tables. We were 20 minutes before he took our wine order. Entree came before we were half way through the appetizer. Love the food and ambience here but service lacked that night.

artspivy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Tetradigm Group, LLC
Tetradigm Group provides services to small businesses to help them maximize their intellectual property. The company is unique in that it combines business and legal factors to create a more holistic intellectual property strategy, and then helps execute that strategy. This is done with a new business model that shares in the upside, allowing small businesses to better take advantage of their intellectual property at a lower cost.
We will help small businesses throughout their life cycle, helping to create an IP strategy, assisting in documenting inventions, guiding the patent prosecution, modifying and improving patents, analyzing existing patent portfolios, helping to license or sell patents, and valuing patent portfolios as part of an exit.
The target audience is small business founders and CEOs. Small businesses can't usually afford sufficient patent work given the high hourly cost model or law firms and they don't receive more comprehensive business advice while formulating their intellectual property strategy. So far the target audience has intuitively understood the problem statement and expressed interest in our firm's services and business model.
In addition to being key decision makers, the founders and CEOs also tend to be the most vested in the company's intellectual property since it's likely tied to the initial founding of the company and the nexus of their passion. Like a person's own children, these individuals will have more of an emotional bond with their ideas and want to see them reach their maximum potential. We should play into this theme in a clever way as we try to reach out to this audience.
These small businesses are likely to be technical and scientific in nature since our ideal customer will need multiple patents to help protect and grow their business.
The first requirement of the Tetradigm Group logo is to support our website and help to introduce the company. The logo and website need to convey the key values and principles the group will bring to any engagement. The logo and site should be visually simple and modern, tying into Tetradigm's new and progressive approach to managing intellectual property. The attached design document shows some example web sites that capture the overall design ideal we're looking for.
The second requirement of the logo is to provide visual reinforcement in work deliverables and marketing materials, specifically business cards and presentations. The logo should therefore be scalable to fit on a business card. To enhance scalability the logo should be designed via vector graphics software.
In the treatment, the logo should contain the name of the company and a visual metaphor. The visual metaphor should also be able to stand alone. Attached is a document describing some of the etymology and symbology of the word Tetradigm and how we'd like to use it. The document also some guidance on colors and fonts.

Apple has been aggressively expanding into a number of Asian markets over the past few years, perhaps as part of their quest for world domination. Or maybe just because of the possible profits in any number of large markets with good technology infrastructures. The latest product to be launched in Asia is the Apple TV, which was officially let out into the wild in Korea this week.
Unfortunately, for Apple, and for Koreans in general, the Apple TV is shipping without a major character in its supporting cast. Namely, it's shipping without the iTunes Store. That's right: none of it. Korea users are SOL when it comes to buying music, movies or TV shows for Apple.
Surprised? I am, too. One of the big Apple TV selling points is the ability to grab content from the iTunes Store whenever you want and then watch it on your widescreen TV. Without this big feature, the Apple TV doesn't do a whole lot more than the old Airport Express did, so there doesn't seem to be much of a point to buying one. Sure, you can go to the trouble of ripping DVDs and perhaps bypassing some copy protection, then adding the file to iTunes, and watching it on your TV from there... but a DVD player is a whole lot easier in that case.
One thought is that they're afraid that rampant media piracy will mean low sales, so they'd rather just not bother. But I still feel like Apple would want to offer people a choice, and a convenient one at that. They could also be planning to launch an iTunes Store for Korea soon, as part of an extended marketing campaign, but I don't know why they wouldn't just have waited. Then the Apple TV would've launched with a bang instead of with a whimper. Still, the sales figures for Korea will be something to take note of, especially since they'll influence Apple's strategy in Asia as a whole. So stay tuned, unless you're in Korea and can't get to the iTunes Store.

Day's Worst: Lindsey Vonn crashes, suffers serious knee injury
We collectively cringed when we heard of the fall and injury that ski great Lindsey Vonn suffered during a world championship race in Austria.
Vonn, of Vail, has been dominant and charismatic on the slopes, winning a gold medal in downhill in the Vancouver 2010 games, among her many achievements.
She was setting up nicely to contend for medals in the 2014 Olympic games in Sochi, Russia, but now will have to contend with what will likely be extensive rehabilitation. Initial reports are that Vonn tore her ACL and MCL, key knee ligaments, in a fall Tuesday during the Super G.
We are among those keeping their fingers crossed that Vonn's injuries aren't as severe as initially reported. And we wish her a swift and successful recovery.

Difference between revisions of "User:Mircea Romania/Why I am Orthodox... And not Protestant, Catholic, Budist, etc. Live Apologetics"
(No difference)
Revision as of 09:59, February 19, 2007
This page whishes to be a hightly interactive collective page in which anyone is invited to add more observations in wich he shows briefly and clearly why he is Orthodox (what he finds the most motivant for he), why he has not an other belief (what unwanted aspects other religions have, but we haven't) or, simply, a few beautiful thoughts of his soul, concerning the Orthodoxy At the end of this page there are inserted links that point to sites that promote the Orthodoxy's values: authors's original papers (of those who publish in this page) or that was written by others, sites dedicated to great theologians, Orthodox sites, online Orthodox libraries.
I am Orthodox Becouse:
- The God at Who the Christians and the Jews pray thereselfs doesn't appear in a preexistent Universe, there are no laws before or out of He. He is above the time and He created all that exists.
- The morality and all that relies to the goodness are valueless phrases if He would not exist. Only God makes sense to morality.
- He is the Love Itself. And His existence shows this truth in an beautiful manner becouse there are three Persons among it is love - That is becouse the Love needs at least two persons...
- To obtain the Redemption we need to make efforts. But only God decides if this happens or not. The Salvations can not be buyed with money.
- The daily life shows us amazing facts that surpass in a strong manner our knowledge and our hope.
- All things ar linked among they in such a wonderful way! It must exist above us Someone who do all these to move!
- In almost all the religions the god(s) is/are an strong force in front of Which we need to be terrified. Only in the New Testament God shows you that He loves us, He descend at our level and give us also the liberty to decide what to do. (The fact is also happen, partially, in the Old Testament).
- When I am entering in an Orthodox Church, I am feeling peace and warmness, I am at home.
- When I enter in a Catholic Church, I feel majesty and silence. But a could silence.
- If the Protestants organize a Conference, all is perfectly made. I am feeling as I am at a products presentations. Nothing is forgotten. It lacks only ... God.
- Wisdom. Once, the wisdom of the Ten Commandments. Next, the wisdom to replace them with only two: with love for God and with love man. Becouse when you love, we also accomplish, automatically, the above ten ones.
- The Orthodoc Church isn't involved in politics. Politics could mean many not-Christians things, compromises, lie, to impel people to satisfy earthly interests, not the spiritual ones. A priest that does politics has a little time for God, He is catched between the need to help human interests and to defend the God's word. The great teologians of the last centuries are Orthodox.
- The Orthodox Churches are full of Holy Grace, of people and of wonderful light.
- There is no excessive tend to "modernize" the Church. We must not forget that the science evolves all the time and, so, what today it is deemed to be a modern thinking or thing, tomorrow may be only something old and untrue. Could us to impose to Church to follow a leaf that is carried as the wind blow? I do not want to criticize the science, I observe only that the science come to the infinitum that God had created. The merit of the science is that it seeks the truth, but the whole truth is God. Not only God should not follow the science, but the true science is like a flower that turns itself in the direction where He is the Truth.
- I have gone to Church with my grandfather.
- Iisus had been taught us what to do to gain the redemption 2,000 years ago and, from those times, He didn't arrive to teach us an other thing. So, we must follow that message. The Orthodox Church is the Church that kept in the most unchanged manner the teaching that the God gave us.

This Saturday I'm planning on heading out to the Murarrie Cycling Facility for the weekly Balmoral Circuit Race. I've raced in London (Hillingdon Circuit) and it's much the same sort of course: flattish, wide pavement, closed to traffic (yay!), and WINDY. I did a shake-down ride today to sort out the way to the course. I figure about an hour to ride there to be safe considering the hills en-route have enough pitch to make me happy to have the 25.
The roads I've found to be quite wide, many with designated bike lanes. Some are even a full lane in width! There are of course some sketchier sections, but for the most part it feels pretty safe here. The drivers have been very courteous so far and seem actually aware that I'm about (shocking, I know). I'm going to have to head out and take some pics of the road furniture they use here – some interesting ways to make a road bike-friendly, and car-not-so-friendly.
Plans may change for Saturday, but in the mean time – some snaps from my scouting trip:
They have a dedicated bike park (a couple I've read). There's been at least one article in the paper each day I've been here that road cycling is on the rise. Very cool.
The "Hill" is more of a soft rise. I'm sure with a group, it'll pass before you feel it.
They have an actual finish line on the course. I think the last race I did with a finish line banner was Quad Cities circa 2001.…
My daily shooter is Sony a9 with a vertical grip and various Sigma lenses attached like the 14mm 1.4 Art. Find more recommendations on our store page.

Why Is CNN Paying So Much Attention To A Whites-Only Scholarship Organization With No Money And No Applicants?
Earlier, I noted that last Tuesday, CNN gave airtime to Colby Bohannan, president of the Former Majority Association For Equality, a nonprofit that exists solely to give scholarships to white males -- and only white males. Bohannan and his group have enjoyed a flurry of media coverage in recent weeks despite the fact that as of February 24, the organization had been in existence for nearly a year, had not received a single scholarship application, and had raised less than $500.
Though its website says the organization was incorporated in March of 2010, FMAE doesn't show up in any news reports available on Nexis prior to February 25, 2011,* when the Austin American-Statesman profiled the organization:
The 501(c)3 nonprofit was formally incorporated with the state in March. The group hasn't received any applications, Bohannan said.
A search of public records indicates Bohannan pleaded no contest to charges of theft of property of less than $500 in 2001 and of issuance of a bad check in 2003. William Lake , the group's treasurer, pleaded no contest to issuance of a bad check in 2008.
Bohannan said he was charged with theft after authorities found a county speed limit sign in his Texas State dorm room and with writing a bad check for groceries, also while in college. Lake said he was charged with writing a bad check while managing a now-defunct business he started. Both said the charges have been disposed of.
Bohannan said the group is raising money — as of Monday, the group had raised $485, according to its website — and that he hopes to award scholarships by July 4. The money can be used to go to any college, not just Texas State, Bohannan said.
Bohannan's group isn't the first to offer scholarships only for white students. In 2006, Boston University's College Republicans created a program with similar requirements. A Republican group at a university in Rhode Island offered a similar award in 2004.
So in nearly a year of existence, Bohannan's group had raised only $485 and hadn't awarded a single scholarship or even gotten a single application. And there's nothing innovative about the group: It's been done before.
And yet several media outlets, led by CNN, decided that Bohannan and his organization were worthy of coverage.
On February 28, CNN's Christine Romans interviewed Bohannan. She didn't interview or quote anyone who disapproves of Bohanna's actions. On March 1, Romans repeatedly played clips of Bohannan and devoted a segment to asking CNN contributor Erick Erickson and guest April Ryan about it. On March 4, a CNN.com article used Bohannan's Former Majority Association for Equality as evidence of "signs of racial anxiety" and "A growing number of white Americans are acting like a racially oppressed majority." On March 5, Romans again played a clip of her interview of Bohannan and asked guests Michelle Rhee, Bill Bennett, and Harold Meyerson about it.
Though CNN has led the way in covering this obscure organization, it isn't alone. Fox News has devoted a segment to it, as has Fox Radio's Alan Colmes. Townhall.com has covered it, along with ABC News, Reuters, a Colorado CBS affiliate, the Texas Tribune, and New American magazine.
That last one isn't surprising: The New American is a publication of The John Birch Society. The question is why news organizations like Reuters and -- especially -- CNN think a tiny organization with no money that's never awarded a scholarship deserves all this attention?
* The March 4 CNN.com article appears in Nexis dated December 21, 2010, but this appears to be an error; the article has a Nexis load-date of March 5.

Lily Allen blasts Twitter critics
Lily Allen tackled her critics head on as she took to the stage at the Latitude festival.
Lily took the place of Two Door Cinema Club after they pulled out of the event at Henham Park, Suffolk, at the last minute due to illness and headlined a packed main arena on the opening night.
Earlier in the day she said she was "exhausted by nastiness" on the Twitter site after agreeing to take the Irish indie band's place.
For her second track she joked: "Can we do this at such short notice?" before launching into a rendition of the band's hit Something Good Can Work.
Later in the set she performed URL Badman which is directed at internet trolls.
She told the crowd: "I'm sorry I'm not Two Door Cinema Club but I've promised I'll give it my best."
Earlier on the social networking site, she wrote: "I understand that you're disappointed but I don't think that warrants abuse."
Two Door Cinema Club offered support, sending her a message saying: "You have our unequivocal support. You're a greatly talented artist!"
The singer also drew the crowds as she put on a surprise early-evening performance on The Waterfront Stage.
Appearing alongside her husband Sam Cooper, their daughters Ethel Mary and Marnie Rose and father Keith, she said: "I'm really excited to be here."
Wearing a multi-colour kaftan over ripped denim shorts and a white vest top with silver trainers, the left the stage in a gondola after performing the song As Long As I Got You.
As she was brought ashore she slipped on the jetty, before recovering and waving to fans.
Festival organiser Melvin Benn said he was delighted the Sheezus singer had agreed to join the line-up alongside fellow headliners Damon Albarn and The Black Keys.
He put the abuse down to "a number of idiots" saying many of them may not even be Latitude festival-goers.
Melvin added: "She's done a fantastic thing in offering to come and play.
"It's a tough thing to find a headline act at the last minute.
"She's not been to Latitude before. I've spoken to her, she's very happy, she's p***** off about the abuse from the Twitter cranks.
"There's certainly a section of the audience she very much appeals to - she's worthy of any stage."
Damon has been granted an extra 15 minutes for his headline set so a "well-known friend" can join him on stage. Melvin refused to comment on who this mystery guest may be.
About 35,000 people are expected to arrive at the arts and music event this weekend as temperatures approach 28C (82.4F).
Latitude is renowned as the most middle-class event on the UK festival circuit and there has been no attempt to play down that reputation.
The event reinforced those credentials by adding morning yoga classes, a knitting circle and an olive bar to the usual eclectic line-up of ballet, literature discussions and performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Other highlights of the day's line-up include Editors, Billy Bragg and Crystal Fighters.

truth5678 wrote:Thank you, Wengier, for so quickly and easily correcting the issue! I confirmed that doszip commander and star commander now display the files correctly, although I plan to further test so I don't miss scenarios that wackee helpfully identified.
The only issue left is in star commander where the date and file size is reported as a single value for all files. Perhaps you could confirm? If not, I'll work on a screenshot so I don't leave you with this incomplete description.
Another much more minor issue is in doszip: it's possible to view a long file name file, but not edit it (both view and edit are built-in doszip functions). However, where setting all LFNs to SFNs, then both functions work correctly. I think a similar thing happens in star commander.
truth5678 wrote:From the Star Commander source code, file sysint.asm, there is reference to the int21h LFN commands, particularly this: 57H - Get/Set file date and time. Verified that your LFN emulation has many of the functions listed in sysint.asm, but AH=57H is not. There's also a reference to 36H - Get disk free space.
Is it possible that Star Commander has two different routines to get the file date? It may look for AH=57H where LFN is active, but use another routine where LFN is not active?
Serious Callers Only wrote:Is there a updated patch / diff file for the feature LFN support? The latest downloads all seem to be the whole source. I'm especially interest in Joliet cdrom lfn support, since the game i'm trying (Noir on cd 2) has that problem. If it works with mount directory as cdrom even better.
I'm interested in stealing it for my build. I'll probably modify the defaults so it's not on (because i only really want to use it with windows 3.1 games and don't want to risk other apps being broken).

Sorry but that will simply not work with a constantly updating svn build, like the one i have. Without using diffs that would break 99% of the time and stay broken once i give up on it.
It's not all about me though . I'm pretty sure that a non-diff will be harder to update on the long run, and will get so bitrotted eventually that people have to go back to the original versions you started with, make a proper diff and then try to port your changes to svn eventually.
Have you looked on collaborating with other people like these here that are trying to work with your patch?

Collected plays: eight
Methuen Drama, Dec 1, 2000 - Drama - 277 pages
The eighth volume in the Coward Collection includes I'll Leave It To You and The Young Idea, the first of Coward's plays ever to be produced. These were, as he said, "enthusiastically acclaimed by the critics and ran five weeks and eight weeks respectively. In both of them I appeared with the utmost determination."
This Was a Man, a slightly later play, was written in 1926, after the successes which made his name. It was originally banned by the Lord Chamberlain "for facetious adultery".

Cleaning Instructions:
I like that this cover is wider than others I have owned because I have a wide table. It is soft and comfortable and seems to be washing well.
Love that it slips on easily and is very cushy.
Quality was what i was hoping for! Love it I have an oakworks table and fits perfectly!
For the money, not bad; although it's rather thin. I'm concerned as to how many washings it will last through. I may end up purchasing the more expensive one.
This table pad was just what I was hoping for. Looks exactly as it appears in the picture.

The first recorded parapsychic, George Matthew Hill, was a resident of the Republic of California. He lived less than 30 miles from the then unrecognized Nevada Blight Zone. His abilities were modest, telekinesis and emotional projection, the family had an oral record that George's father was also possessing such abilities, as was his grandfather. They kept this as a family secret, and referred to it as the gift. This is not the only localized manifestation of parapsychic ability. A secret society known only as the Covenant formed in the Commonwealth of New England, near Salem Massachusetts and was composed of 17 extended family members who had what they considered 'witch powers' but were in truth telekinesis, hydrokinesis, and several somatic abilities most prominently charisma and enhanced agility. The Craven Clan of South Dakota, unincorporated territories, also demonstrated exceptional parapsychic abilities, but also manifested horrific physical deformities and abnormalities. All of the encounters share the same fundamental abilities without any common thread. The Hills were proximal to a blight, but the Covenant family was not, the Craven clan was proximal to a nuclear waste facility, but no other such situation has created parapsychic abilities in a host family.
The Advent of Parapsychic Ability
Prior to the Second Renaissance, there were no recorded parapsychics. All claims were debunked in that era, and were shown to be nothing more than crystal gazers and table knockers. The first know practitioners were discovered shortly after the restoration of the various continental republics, namely the Atlantic Federation and the Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. These individuals, and many of their close family members were placed into government custody, willingly or not. They were made into guinea pigs and lab rats, while scientists struggled to comprehend the source of their supernatural ability. Accidents were made, human rights were trampled, and there were deaths involved. The most prominent and publicly known event was the DSI Disaster.
DSI, better known as the D Shop, was in the business of discovering the biological triggers of parapsychic ability. Situated north of the burgeoning city of San Angeles, later the Los Angeles Arcoplex, the Rainbird facility was mostly working towards weaponizing parapsychic soldiers. Things went very wrong and the facility was destroyed by a single rogue parapsychic, a young girl who had evinced impressive pyrokinetic ability and the power to control minds. The security force that was sent to contain her suffered horrific losses as soldiers turned on each other, and vehicles randomly exploding. The girl was stopped only after a sniper shot her in the head. The psychic death scream of the individual caused over 130 cases of psychological trauma to responding personnel, many of whom would commit suicide afterwards despite extensive psychotherapy and medication.
Science and ParaPsychics
Once the furor calmed, and parapsychic individuals were assured of their legal and human rights by several bills and judicial acts, business got back to normal. The parapsychics were still placed under intense scrutiny, but now were compensated for their time, and were free to leave if they were so inclined. A small number of individuals were placed under protective custody, but these were a minority and represented a faction of parapsychics who were a danger to themselves and others. This was all kept very quiet and large sums of money went into keeping the PKs (referencing both parapsychics and parakinetics) calm and happy. The visual image of a nine year old getting shot in the face on live tri-d video feed was still fresh in the public eye, and remains a haunting ghost of old hatreds and human abuses.
Arcanotechnology revealed that PKs who are actively using their parapsychic abilities manifest a stronger aura than resting humans, and when not activating their powers, and indistinguishable from normal humans. Pan-Dimensional photography (PDP, or PDSP) noted there were noticable changes in the souls of PK users that were not present in normal humans. The difficulty, expense, and nebulous accuracy of PDP and PDSP prevent the technology from being used to located nascent and dormant potential PKs.
Like the presence of the soul, parapsychic ability could be quantified and measured by scientific means, but discovering the source and the cause of the powers remained beyond the scope of science.
The Secret Soldiers
Parapsychics were vigorously recruited by corporations, governments, and anyone else who wanted to use their unique abilities. The demand would forever outstrip the supply, so several organizations attempted to create artificial PKs. The Scandanavian Fimbulvinter Project came close, with Operations Yesod and Gevurah. Yesod created clones of PKs, bombarding the growing embryos with certain radiations and injections of a classified substance. The Yesod Clones and the Himmel Project combined creating viable clones who did regularly manifest parapsychic abilities. These individuals also were walking time bombs, psychoses and neurological problems abounded in the project. Many of the soldiers created only had a viable lifespan of three to five years before their psychological problems made them unstable, dangerous and a liability to the organizations that utilized them.
Several world powers invested billions of dollars into investigating parapsychic powers and how they could be artificially induced to create perfect super soldiers. The projects, at best, had mixed results. The connection between power and the individual was apparently not something that was machine replicable in the lab. The tests were all leading to a certain unsavory answer.
Suffering and denial build character, as the expression goes. The test subjects in the programs with the most egregious violations of rights and humanity were the ones with the best results. It was also noted in psychological profiles that those who naturally manifested came from violent, disturbed, or other negative backgrounds. While there was indeed a biological and paranormal aspect to manifesting these powers, it seemed that the real trigger was physical, psychological and emotional trauma. The governments and corporations could indeed create parapsychics, but doing so would require the precise and exquisite torture of the individuals who demonstrated potential. While there were certainly individuals callous enough to order the blind torture of hundreds of human beings (not so far of a leap for the same people who ordered soldier clones because they were more cost effective than robot soldiers). Those individuals were also pragmatic enough to understand that the new soldiers would inevitably turn on them, hating them for their abuse, and not thankful for their gifts.
Large scale research fell off, but various projects remain running, creating small groups of enhanced soldiers and specialists. The Atlantic Federation adopted using clones and cyborgs rather than running the risk of creating an army of uncontrolled super humans. The Pacific Rim waved away cost and invested heavily in robot technology and droid war machines. The other world powers largely followed in one of these two paths.
Truth is Stranger than Fiction
Dimensional Science is still in it's relative infancy, but the viability of the Dimensional Engine, Dimensional Cascade Engine, Dimensional Battery, Pan-Dimensional Spectra-Photography and other arcanotech devices have been proven. It is only a matter of time, and money before the technology is developed for transdimensional travel (teleportation) and from there FTL travel.
For lack of a better term, there is a river that flows between the membranes of our realities. The Romans called it Styx, the Japanese, Sanzu. It is somehow involved in the migration of souls between life and death. Life and happiness causes the river to ebb, it's turbid waters ease and lower in it's dark earthen banks. When death is rampant, the river surges, tearing away at the soil and bleeding over into our world. In the past, there have been times when the river has run out of it's courses and flooded greatly. The Black Death saw the River of Sorrow, the stream of Death literally boil into our waking world. The noxious fumes killed many, and left others horrified and scarred. The devices of history have conspired, and it is likely that many of the witch sightings and outbreaks of hysteria were caused not by black magic and sorcery, but by manifesting parapsychics in a time that could not describe them as anything but divine or damned.
The river broke it's dams several decades ago. It rose high during the Resource Wars, as tens of thousands died on the battlefields. But it rose higher and washed over it's banks as the Second Dark age descended on man. While many areas were largely spared the greater part of the horror and suffering, entire other regions were decimated. Large parts of Africa and Central Asia depended heavily on foreign aid to protect them from despots and provide them with food. When the food shipments stopped coming, they died. They died in the millions. Warlords decimated entire countries with foot armies, raising banners to their gods, to themselves, or whatever mad notion they had. Africa withered, central Asia burned, and the Middle East was almost snuffed out in thermonuclear war. The world population had grown to a peak near 10 billion people. By the middle of the Second Dark Age, that number was closer to 3 billion. While many indeed perished, the time of tumult that was the Second Dark Age saw fewer families coming together, and fewer children being born. The flow of life diminished and for several decades the mortality rate exceeded the birth rate.
Historians mark the Second Dark Age as the second major population correction. The first being the Black Death. The population by the end of the Petroleum Age was close to using 100% of available resources, both in terms of energy, but also in terms of agriculture and overall biomass. The warfare that ended the Petroleum age is only a small fraction of the total loss of human life. Systemic famine and disease took a massive toll as industrialized agriculture collapsed and the global shipping infrastructure failed. This was also a relatively modest percentage of the overall population contraction. The largest cause of loss of life was that for three generations, more people died of old age, accident, and other 'normal causes' than were being born. This was also tied into generations of endemic poverty, regular famine and near constant low level banditry and warfare. If there was a measure of suffering, an index of agony, it would have run high through most of that time.
The dams burst, the black river flowed out, and it filled the world with it's poison. The dark tides pooled in places, became the Blights. The seeping fumes of the river turned green land into the wastelands. The parapsychics are those who are able to tap into the latent power of the River of Sorrow, the conduit formed by their own spiritual and physical suffering. Those who are unable to feel pain,or know suffering cannot reach the river. Clones have memories of pain, but none of it was real, so few of them are able to make the connection.
There are beings, entities that dwell along the banks of the River. Men would call them demons and devils, tormented souls and monsters. They are dimensional creatures, no more aware of our world than we are of theirs. Those rare individuals in the past who have been cursed with sight beyond sight have seen this tortured realm, and have written of it. Dante wrote of it in his Divine Comedy. The origins of the Brimstone and Hellfire sermonizing of the 1800s has also been attributed to visions of the barren plains that surround the river of sorrow.
Author's Notes
The first thing that comes to mind is why isn't this a location,and instead why is it a system. The River of Sorrows is a conceptual place that the PCs will NEVER have the ability to visit. It is the proverbial high water mark for suffering and misery in the world. Secondly, the river is both a metaphor and an explanation for the existence of parapsychic powers. The metaphor is the power doesn't come for free, and that all of the flashy abilities and powers that a parapsychic can bring to bear come first from their own inner demons (not literal) and then from the collective agony of mankind. When there is pain and death, strength is needed, and the parapsychics and their supernatural abilities are the answer to the need. Secondly I wanted an explanation for the power of parapsychic that wasn't as vague as 'teh magic' nor as specific as midichlorions. There is an answer to the origin of the power and it is nothing neat and clean like science would like, nor is it shining as Faith would hope. It is alien but entirely ours, and it is easy to become intoxicated and corrupted by using the parapsychic powers because their innate source is tainted.

How to Get Rid of Your Chickens' External Parasites
Chicken parasites are a given in most backyard coops. External parasites — lice, mites, fowl tick, and chiggers — are the creepy-crawlies found on the outside of the chicken, so common that earlier poultry tenders didn't even bother treating chickens for them. That said, these pests can cause anemia, damaged feathers, weight problems, poor laying, or — in young birds — death.
Signs of external parasites include:
Seeing them crawling on the chickens or in the coop
Being bitten by them yourself
Noticing chickens with broken, chewed-looking feathers and reddened skin patches
Seeing chickens doing a lot of scratching and picking at themselves
A drop in egg production
Anemia with pale combs and wattles
A fluffed-up or sick appearance
Help your confined chickens keep parasites away by giving them a large, deep box of sand to wallow in. Dust smothers and dislodges the parasite and cleans the body of oils, dust, and debris that some parasites feed on. Free-range chickens make their own wallows. Also, don't let wild birds nest or roost in chicken shelters.
Many people today are still willing to let nature call the shots, and they don't worry about treating their chickens for parasites. If your chickens are acting healthy and producing as you want them to, you may decide to not to treat them for parasites.
For those with small flocks that are handled frequently and that are confined at least part of the time, parasites may be unacceptable. Most external parasites that affect birds don't live on humans, but a few will take a bite out of you if they get on you. You don't want parasites on you, and you may want your chickens to be as comfortable and healthy as possible. You also may want optimum production. These are good reasons to choose to treat your birds for parasites.
Chicken lice
Lice are long, narrow, tiny insects that move quickly when you part a chicken's feathers. The eggs are small dots glued to feathers. When your chicken has a heavy infestation, you can see the lice scurrying around on the bird. Unlike human lice, chicken lice don't feed on blood; they eat feathers or shedding skin cells. There are head lice, body lice, and lice that live on feather shafts.
To control lice you have to treat the birds directly — treating the environment doesn't work. Permethrin, natural pyrethrum, and carbaryl dust are effective insecticides for lice, but you must consult a vet for the correct way to use them on chickens.
Chicken mites
Mites are very tiny rounded insects that can be seen only through a microscope and that will also bite humans. The most common mites in backyard coops are Northern Fowl mite, Common Chicken mite, Scaly Leg mite. Some types of mites feed at night on the birds and then hide in cracks of the environment during the day; others stay on the birds. They can cause anemia, decreased egg-laying, and damage to skin and feathers. Some types even invade the lungs and other organs. Heavy mite populations can cause death.
Both the birds and the premises need to be treated for mites. Permithrin and several other good treatments exist.
A good treatment for Scaly Leg mites is petroleum jelly, linseed oil, or mineral oil applied liberally to the legs; these products smother the mites. Ask a poultry expert or vet for other treatment recommendations, because many good treatments aren't registered for use with chickens.
Fowl tick and chickens
Ticks cause anemia, weight loss, decreased egg production, and general weakness in chickens. In the South, where this type of tick is most common, it can cause serious illness and even death in chickens. If you suspect ticks, go out and get a chicken several hours after dark and examine the skin closely in a good light. When filled with blood after their nightly meal, they're large enough to see easily.
Ticks are difficult to control. You don't treat the chicken; you treat its surroundings. This means spraying housing and treating pasture areas and trimming or removing weeds and debris around poultry housing. Ask a vet for recommendations on tick control products.
Chickens and chiggers
Chiggers are nasty little bugs that don't mind feeding on humans as well as chickens. Chickens get chiggers when they roam grassy areas or come into contact with hay or straw that's infested with them. Chiggers cause great distress to chickens. They may appear ill and have no interest in eating or drinking. Their feathers appear fluffed up, and they scratch their skin a lot. Young birds sometimes die from heavy infestations.
The control of chiggers is the same as with ticks: You treat the environment. In addition, any hay or straw stored close to chickens may need to be moved or destroyed.
Don't try to eliminate parasites by spraying your housing with old-time remedies like kerosene or fuel oil. These products are environmental pollutants that cause more harm than good, and using them this way is illegal. They also can have toxic effects on your birds because they can be absorbed into your bird's skin.

P&W–sponsored poets Mary Fitzpatrick and Judith Pacht were among the writers who performed June 3 at Lummis Day, an annual festival celebrating journalist and activist Charles Fletcher Lummis and Northeast Los Angeles. P&W intern David Chun reports.
Held on the lawn of the historic Lummis Home, El Alisal, the Sunday morning poetry reading at the Seventh Annual Lummis Day drew a friendly audience of families, students, and seniors from diverse backgrounds. A jazz duo set a peaceful counterpoint to the stream of traffic on the 110 freeway rushing by behind the property's sycamores.
Chumash storyteller Ted Garcia opened the reading with a traditional blessing, thanking the Creator for our safe travels, our elders, our children, and all that we have. The poetry program included Suzanne Lummis (Charles Fletcher Lummis's granddaughter), Mary Fitzpatrick, Judith Pacht, Jeremy Radin, and Hector Tobar. All are Angelenos whose work confronts human responsibility in the environment, an issue close to Charles Lummis's heart. But the diversity in the writers' styles was a true celebration of Los Angeles literary culture.
Any audience members expecting banal praises of California sunshine had their eyes opened when Suzanne Lummis kicked off the reading with "Gone Baby," a poem which she described as a fairy tale for the children of the economic collapse. The poem worked as both a eulogy for the golden age of economic prosperity in America, and a prayer of hope for recovery.
Mary Fitzpatrick elegantly flipped from ironic meditations on the innocence of young love to a scathing review of the social masks so normal to Angeleno life. Her poem "Pompeii" concluded with a question: Is our culture evolving, or are we as trapped in artifice as the civilization of Pompeii after the historic volcano eruption encased it in stone?
Judith Pacht's reading whisked the audience away on a dizzying tour of desert life, then zoomed in on an asphalt parking lot built among the ancient sands "like a buckled mirror [that] twists and distorts."
A highlight of the morning was a surprise reading from poet Jeremy Radin (filling in for Ilya Kaminsky). His poems "Off Switch" and "Slowdance With Sasquatch" navigated the subjects of parenting and beauty with humor and dark tinges. The audience laughed, contemplated, and applauded. He closed with "The Last Invitation, September 5, 1895," a piece adapted from historical correspondence between President Teddy Roosevelt and a pig farmer whose stock was so often killed off by bears that he arranged annual bear hunts with the president to get revenge. The farmer pleaded: "bears don't die like other animals. When the knife bites / into their pulse, you can see them understand." By the conclusion of the poem, the speaker is wary of the country's mad rush for private property and subsequent disregard for nature.
Hector Tobar's excerpt from his novel The Barbarian Nurseries delighted the audience with its meditation on the funny and often painful differences between Mexican and American views on everything from party etiquette to the homeless.
Suzanne Lummis closed the reading with a heartfelt reminder of the importance of good books in the home. Then the audience made their way across the arroyo, where they enjoyed the live local music and fresh food.
