I love to read and chat about books. I'm always honest in my reviews and I enjoy hearing varied opinions and different point of views.
I didn't think I'd like this as much as I did, but I got sucked into world of The House of Silence. The story is set in an alternate universe where we follow the rent boys of an elite bordello. It is well-written and intriguing. I was instantly drawn in to the world and lives of the House of Silence. The vivid descriptions set the tone of the book beautifully.
Here we meet Danny, Vincent, Tam, and Reiji. They all have unique personalities and a past that won't let them go. I'm not sure when it happened, but each of these guys slowly got me to care for them.
The book starts off almost like a "day in the life" of a rent boy. The POV's constantly change; we hear from each of the rent boys and sometimes from a couple of the prominent clients, namely Ander and Aburon. I'm not a big fan of POV shifts, but I think it completely works in this book. At first, I was put off by the format, but then as I read on, I realized how much I was learning about each of the characters. Danny is shy, sweet, and gentle. Tam is friendly and always there to help someone, while Reiji has a bit of a temper and is quick to fly off the handle (I heart him).
Then there's Vincent. He's a submissive masochist that has an air of sadness constantly surrounding him. Oh, how I love Vincent.
Now onto Charon Marque, the master of The House of Silent. I have very mixed feelings about him. He's a bit of a contradiction. He is a business man through and through. He always has his head in the books and his eye on the bottom line. He is also portrayed as putting the safety of his boys above everything else. He protects them and has a knack of setting up the clients with the perfect companion. He takes his responsibility extremely seriously. He supposedly values his boys. This point is drilled home throughout the book. All his boys trust him and there's a feeling with them, that above all else they want to make Charon happy and proud. Now here's my problem:
This disappointed me and now I'll always question where Charon will draw the line.
The plot really doesn't get going until about 65%. The political intrigue and the suspense gets kicked into high gear, and we follow the MC's while they try to protect one of their own.
My only other complaint was sex fest at the end of the book. Most of the sex in the book had a purpose. It told us who the characters were, and built-up their stories, but the last 10% of the book was a throwaway. The only moment that held any consequence was what occurred with Reiji. Other than that it was a waste.
For the most part I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to see what happens to everyone, especially my Vincent!
Warning: There is a lot of sex and some of it is dub/non con. This is NOT a romance.

Kay Cordell Whitaker is the author of
The Reluctant Shaman, 1991,
and Sacred Link, 2005. In 1974 she began
a highly unorthodox and somewhat 'reluctant' apprenticeship with two
native shaman from the central eastern Andes, elders Chea and Domano
Hetaka. Their teachings included their traditional psychology,
storytelling, shamanic medical training and spiritual practices of these
indigenous peoples of eastern Peru.
Through the next 13 years she studied with them to become a 'kala keh
nah seh,' or 'teller of medicine stories,' a seer, healer, and a 'Thrower
of the Bones,' one of the world's oldest methods of divination and
talking with the spirits passed on through the women in eastern Peru.
Domano and Chea always encouraged Kay to study as much as she could
about different ways of being in the world, and to learn through direct
experience rather than through her intellect alone. So, in addition to
training with the Hetakas, Kay spent five intense years studying with a
lineage carrier of the mysteries of the Berber Tribes of Africa,
knowledge descending from the ancient temples of Isis and Osiris of
Egypt; she learned the healing techniques of the Kahuna traditions and
lived for a number of years with and among many different Northern
American Indians, primarily those following the Lakota Sundance
tradition, learning much about their ways of praying and thinking. The
Hetakas saw this training as another way of fulfilling their tribe's
ancient prophecies about bringing all of the many diverse knowledge and
traditions together so that we "might come to see the bigger picture that
they make – a picture so grand that we can't even imagine it right now."
In 1987 the Hetakas asked her to write about what she had learned and
experienced with them and to heal and teach those who asked.
Kay now spends her time writing, producing, training apprentices,
conducting traditional healings, Throwing the Bones, lecturing, and
leading intensive workshops. Kay's workshop series, "Setting The World In
Balance," focuses on healing ourselves and our planet, and finding
equitable solutions to daily problems. Healing begins in a ceremony with
experiencing our own being, or "Song", our own unique individual piece
of Creator. By looking at the patterns, or "masks", we hide behind and
releasing them, the truth about who we really are, what we are and why
we are here, becomes accessible and abilities of consciousness begin to
expand beyond imagination.
Kay has produced five CDs
that help listeners experience some of these major ceremonies of this
tradition which are generally offered to the public as part of the
workshops – Amazon Drumming To Journey By,
Song Magic, The Dance Of The
Earth Fire Serpent, Power Animal Journey,
Drumming To Journey By.
She is a graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz and the
University of Oregon where she taught sculpture and drawing for three
years. She currently resides in New Mexico.

BACKYARD HAUNTS / From Nob Hill to Napa, it's spooky how many tales of ghost are floating around
A wealthy feminist and writer of racy novels keeps the battle-of-the- sexes raging at a San Francisco apartment building decades after her death. A beautiful young woman, who wore blue flapper dresses and was murdered on a beach after being involved in a love triangle, disrupts the staff of a Peninsula restaurant.
An actress -- and the worker who was obsessed with her -- make life a bit ticklish for the movie projectionists at a Napa theater. Apparitions of sailors appear aboard an aircraft carrier in Alameda. A midwife, who died in an accident and was never properly buried, frightens a couple making out at a cemetery in Antioch.
Scoff if you will. But psychics, ghost hunters -- and just regular folks who never, ever believed in ghosts until one haunted their home or workplace --
swear the Bay Area is a hotbed for ghostly activity.
Antoinette May, author of "Haunted Houses of California: A Ghostly Guide to Haunted Houses and Wandering Spirits" (World Wide Publishing, $10.95), said the Bay Area rates alongside New Orleans and its host of Civil War ghosts as the nation's prime territory for spooky sightings.
"Places where people live very full and colorful lives seem to attract a lot of energy," said May of Palo Alto. "People just don't want to be dead -- they want to come back and raise hell."
It's not easy describing these eerie hell-raisers. Jim Fassbinder, who leads the popular San Francisco Ghost Hunt through Pacific Heights, breaks them into three categories: real ghosts, who visit loved ones to impart a message; hauntings, wherein a ghost occupies a location and can be seen by many people; and poltergeists, spirits that manifest themselves through noises.
Whatever the case, we apparently have a lot of apparitions.
"Defining what a spirit is is like nailing Jell-O to the wall," said Fassbinder, 55, of Russian Hill. "A ghost is an extreme emotion stuck in time. Consider our wild and wicked history. You put money, sin, earthquakes, fire, greed, saloons -- everything together, you've got a lot of emotion."
And you end up with a lot of spine-tingling, bone-rattling stories of which legend and nightmares are made. Here are some of the best.
Pacific Heights has always been famous for its rollicking parties, and an evening in 1887 proved no exception. Gertrude Atherton, a feminist who wrote romance novels much to her family's dismay, held a ball at her home at California and Octavia streets to honor naval officers visiting from Chile. Gertrude shocked the crowd by wearing a white cashmere dress, which she wrote in her memoirs "fit every part of me like a glove."
Her husband, George Atherton, said to be a weak, ineffectual man, despised the ruckus his wife loved creating. He accepted the naval officers' invitation to accompany them back to South America, but died of kidney failure after a few days aboard their ship. To preserve the corpse, the officers placed it in a barrel of rum, which eventually made its way back to Gertrude. Frightened by the pickled body, Gertrude took the family's money and left the city.
The mansion, at 1900 California St., has since been divided into 12 apartments, and its residents consider the ghosts of Gertrude and George their friendly neighbors. Just about every resident reports seeing a glowing ball of light in their room on the first night staying at the house.
Alden Cady, who works for a biotech startup, considered ghosts a silly figment of others' overactive imaginations when he moved into his wife's apartment there.
"I was trying to go to sleep, and I noticed this glow," he said of his first night. "I'm kind of a logical, scientific guy, so I was really trying to figure out where this glow was coming from. I turned on the lights. I turned off the lights. I opened the shades. I closed the shades. I couldn't affect it at all. It was pretty wild. I didn't know if I was going nuts."
His wife, Tracy, an actress and singer, and other residents in the complex told him the glow was Gertrude. On another night, he and Tracy "had a whopper of a fight" and laid back-to-back in bed, steaming. A car horn started blaring downstairs, and Alden realized it was his. His car doesn't have an alarm, and Alden raced outside, angry and perplexed. He tried pulling fuses and banging on the steering wheel to no avail.
"All of a sudden, I thought of Gertrude and I said, 'OK, Gertrude, I'll go up and apologize to Tracy,' and the horn stopped," he said. "That was spooky. I went upstairs, and I apologized and everything was OK from then on."
Many residents have heard a muttering and whispering coming from beneath the staircase, the spot where George's rum-barrel-turned-coffin was stored. Clearly, though, Gertrude rules the haunted roost. Men who move into the complex tend to move out within a few months, whereas women stay for years, Alden said.
Now, he's a believer.
"I just kind of accept the fact that there's something," he said. "Science has proven that there's energy in the air. Whatever life force we have, Lord knows where it goes and what happens to it.
"I don't feel any kind of threat from Gertrude. She's not a nasty ghost. It's weird that she's still around, but she is for whatever reason."
While other young men were panning for gold in California, Richard Craig Chambers earned his fame and money from a silver mine in Utah. The allure of San Francisco beckoned, and in 1887 he built his piece de resistance, a mansion at 2220 Sacramento St.
He died in 1901 and left the grand home to his nieces, who hated each other.
One built a separate home next door, while the other, Claudia Chambers, who was famous for keeping pigs, remained. Claudia's death was freakish: Some say she was sawed in half. Her family called it a "farm implementation accident."
Other families moved into the home, never staying long. It was converted into the Mansion Hotel and Restaurant in 1977, but is now blocked off to the public while it's being converted into condominiums.
Fassbinder takes ghost hunters there on his tours. Before the building was closed, the group used to be able to visit the Josephine Room, where psychics have held seances and seen ghosts. Through a variety of reports, Fassbinder has determined that an insane member of the Chambers family, who was kept in the attic, chased Claudia downstairs into the Josephine room and killed her.
On a recent night, the tour stopped on the sidewalk outside as Fassbinder recounted the story of Claudia Chambers. One tourist stopped him, asking whether anybody else on the tour had seen the flash of light coming from an upstairs window. Nobody had. No workers are in the building at nighttime, but Fassbinder said four tourists have seen the light in recent weeks.
"I'm a total cynic," said Carol Emerson, 41, an escrow officer from Los Angeles, who saw the flash. "I'm not convinced (Fassbinder) doesn't have a partner up there. I've just got to believe that. I absolutely don't believe in ghosts -- not until now, anyway."
From a black pouch he carries, Fassbinder pulled an old, metal key, claiming he purchased it from an artifact store and that it was once used to open the door to the Josephine Room. He placed it in the palms of several tourists and the key slowly turned 180 degrees, as if opening a lock.
Neill Sanders, a 26-year-old Internet consultant from England, was visiting San Francisco on his honeymoon. He was very shaken after the key turned in his hand.
"I was dead surprised," he said afterward. "I wasn't doing anything, no way.
I'm still getting over it."
Fassbinder, who admits some of the illusions that take place on the tour are "goofy" tricks, said there really is something to the key. It works much like an Ouija board.
"The supernatural happens when people expect that it will, and there is an incident consistent with their expectation," he said via e-mail after the tour.
"I provide the incidents, they bring their belief, and stuff does happen."
A magic trick? Supernatural powers? Or maybe Claudia, the pig lover, trying to escape her killer all these years later? We may never know.
Built in the 1920s as a hotel (and later used, ahem, as a whorehouse), the Moss Beach Distillery, at Beach and Ocean streets, notoriously supplied San Franciscans with bootlegged liquor from Canada during Prohibition.
Perched on a beautiful cliff overlooking the Pacific, the Distillery has shed its infamy and serves as a popular, romantic dining spot. But the staff gets frequent reminders of the days of yore in the form of the Blue Lady. NBC's "Unsolved Mysteries" has documented the ghost's behavior.
John Barbour, who has owned the restaurant for 11 years, said he didn't pay much attention to the rumors of a ghost when he purchased the property. Oh, how things have changed.
"It's very clear the place is haunted and has been for some time," said Barbour, 65, of El Grenada. "When you start looking at the experiences, they really pile up."
Barbour believes the Blue Lady is Alma, a woman who was married to the distillery's bartender and was having an affair with its piano player. A gorgeous woman in her 20s, she visited the establishment nightly, always dressed in beautiful blue flapper dresses. On Feb. 17, 1927, she was found on the beach, stabbed in the chest. The slaying was never solved, but locals assumed her husband killed her in a fit of rage.
One of Barbour's staffers quit in fear when the restaurant's computers booted up one day with the date changed to Feb. 17, 1927. No one was able to change the date back, and the manufacturers had to come overhaul the system. The temperature inside the building fluctuates inexplicably and barrels of wine are found stacked in odd formations inside a locked storeroom. Checkbooks levitate. Female diners lose an earring, then several of the lost earrings are found weeks later, all in one place.
The legend of the Blue Lady has become so well known that Barbour printed The Distillery Times, a brochure explaining the ghost and her creepy shenanigans.
"People were asking so many questions, we hardly had enough time to serve any food," he said. "You get to the point where you become blase after a while.
You just say, 'That's the Blue Lady.' "
Not everybody is eager to talk about their resident ghosts. But first, the background.
In 1880, James Coleman, a San Mateo County Assemblyman, spent $100,000 (an enormous amount of money at the time) to build a home for his beautiful wife, Carmelita Nuttall, on Peninsula Way. According to legend, before the couple could move in, Carmelita accidentally shot herself to death while unpacking a gun from her husband's suitcase.
Consumed with grief, Coleman never lived in his new house. Various families lived there, always moving out quickly. In 1925, the founders of the Peninsula School purchased the home, and the ghost stories began pouring out from students and staffers.
Many people have reported seeing a green, female ghost, believed to be Carmelita. Entire classrooms of children have seen the ghost, later drawing the same, green figure. But don't try telling that to today's staff.
"We really don't like to note the school as that," said a woman who answered the phone recently and declined to give her name. "There is a history here that goes back to stories like that, but it's certainly just mythical and nothing that we like to be viewed as because we are a school, not just a mansion."
May said she feels they're missing an opportunity.
"Whether they want to believe there's a ghost there or not, so many people have seen one," she said. "I like the fact that children go there -- it encourages their imagination."
Disney seems to side with May. In 1975, the movie studio used the school as the setting for "Escape to Witch Mountain," an adventure about two kids with psychic powers.
"It was a movie palace."
That's how Tom Malloy, the first manager of Uptown Theater described the luxurious cinema, built in 1937. Greco-Roman women and gazelles were painted on the ceiling. It was lit by four glamorous chandeliers. Usherettes wore cute outfits and escorted customers to their seats.
Patrons were treated to a newsreel, a short subject, a cartoon, a movie -- and sometimes vaudeville acts. Accordion players, singers, comedians and tumblers all graced the stage.
The theater was sold in the late 1940s, was quartered into smaller theaters during the cineplex boom and his since fallen into disrepair.
The theater is now closed for restoration, thanks to the efforts of Bob Vogt, a businessman, and his friend, Francis Ford Coppola. It's scheduled to reopen in 2002 -- perhaps with some eerie, old fixtures.
"There are at least two lost souls in the Uptown," said Cynthia Langlois, who worked in the theater for six years beginning in 1989.
Langlois and others tell stories of ghostly apparitions, noises of jumping feet in empty theaters and even voices out of the darkness. Sometimes projectionists felt someone tap their shoulder, only to turn around and find no one there, said Langlois.
A story with several variations is tied to the legend of the Uptown's ghosts. The basic tale is that a woman in her 20s was acting in a play. A worker became obsessed with her and killed her in the theater when she spurned his advances. He then hanged himself from the rafters.
"There's the Lady in White. You could see her from a certain angle along the left side of the theater if you were in the projection booth. She was dressed like someone from the turn of the century, her hair in a bun. She was looking at the doorway to the booth," said Langlois, who says she saw the revenant clearly on one occasion.
The other "lost soul," she said, is a male presence who is "very hostile and makes you feel like you should get out."
Vogt doesn't discount the stories. He's heard them too and admits that late at night there are strange sounds and a palpable spookiness.
"The first time I took Francis inside," he said, "we walked into one of the theaters, and he burst into 'The Phantom of the Opera.' "
Ever since a Los Angeles Times reporter wrote of seeing a female ghost, wearing a long black dress, in Room 101 of Madrono Manor, tourists and diners have flocked to the 1880 Victorian at 1001 Westside Road to see whether they, too, would get spooked.
Many have. They just disagree about which room is most haunted -- rooms 101,
201, 303 and the dining room cause the most stir. People sense sudden cold spots, the sensation of being pushed and the feeling that somebody's watching them. Coffee cups turn in their saucers and keys disappear.
Some have seen the female ghost, generally believed to be Hannah Paxton. Her husband, John Alexander Paxton, a state legislator, built the house after becoming interested in Sonoma's wine industry. He died in 1887, and Hannah kept his body in a glass coffin in the house until her own death five years later.
Nancy Haines, 33, the front desk manager, has worked at the manor for a year. She's heard the stories, but isn't convinced.
"I'm a little bit skeptical," she said. "But I certainly believe it could exist here, considering the house has been here a long time and has a lot of history."
Carol and John Muir owned the manor until Bill and Trudy Conrad bought the property a few years ago. Carol Muir, 70, said she never seen saw the ghost, but was intrigued by all the stories guests told her.
"I always said, 'I don't see the ghost because I don't believe in ghosts, and they don't believe in me,' " she said with a laugh.
Though presiding over the manor -- and its supposed eerie resident -- was fun, she said she's glad to be enjoying a relaxing retirement now.
"I never watched soap operas," she said. "I didn't have to. I lived right in the middle of one."
Maybe Falkirk owns the designation for having the most easygoing ghost around. In 1888, Ella Park used her inheritance to build the mansion, hailed by the local press as "one of the most ornamental and best built mansions in this place of beautiful homes."
A lover of classical music, Park held many fancy soirees at her home on 1408 Mission Ave. Barbara Landesman, a classical pianist, has performed many concerts at Falkirk, now a cultural center, and is convinced that Park haunts the home, still enjoying the music.
"When there's music, she comes around," Landesman said. "If she appreciates good music, she must be a good ghost."
Landesman said she smells roses and lilies when she plays, even in winter when no flowers are blooming. Breezes pass by when no doors are open. She hears the rustling of taffeta skirts and the opening of fans.
"It's hard to explain," she said. "It's a friendly feeling."
If only everybody had such a happy-go-lucky ghost.
When it comes to ghostly sightings in Contra Costa, Rose Hill Cemetery is "the place in the county," said Richard Taylor, 57, a writer who lives in Clayton.
Several couples looking for a quiet, private spot for a romantic rendezvous have sought the cemetery in Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. And several have regretted it. They've reported looking up from their, um, activities to see a glowing lady outside the front window of their car.
Taylor believes it's Sarah Norton, a.k.a. Granny, a midwife who traveled the area's mining towns by horse-and-buggy, her white smock trailing behind her. Sometime in the 1890s, the buggy flipped over, killing Granny. Miners and their families tried to have a funeral for her twice, but both times, violent storms struck, canceling the ceremonies. Granny was buried in the cemetery without any fanfare.
Looters have excavated graves and stolen headstones, causing unrest in the cemetery. People have frequently reported hearing ghostly laughter, crying and the ringing of bells.
Those working at the cemetery hate its reputation.
"We avoid that completely and whatever stories you might have heard are not true," said a woman recently who answered the telephone. "It's a historic cemetery, and we try to accord it the respect that it deserves."
Try telling that to Granny.
Taylor, who wrote "Ghosts and Other Celebrities of Clayton" and leads the annual Halloween Ghost Walk through the town, always takes his tour groups to a certain odd location at Village Oaks Shopping Center at Center Street and Marsh Creek.
"Somebody is haunting the ladies' room," Taylor said.
And he thinks he knows who it is.
Sometime toward the end of the 19th century, a couple got into a violent argument at an outdoor dance pavilion that used to stand where the shopping center is located now. They left the establishment to take their fighting to the nearby creek, where the woman killed her boyfriend.
Not so long ago, a police officer saw the door to the rest room left open and thought something was amiss. He went inside to investigate and said he saw a face over his shoulder in the mirror. No one was there.
Beauticians from a nearby salon who use the bathroom said they've felt the presence of a ghost there. Psychics have confirmed the reports.
Can't anybody get some privacy when nature calls?
An aircraft carrier commissioned in 1943, the USS Hornet saw 16 months of action in the Pacific Theater during World War II. It had an impressive record,
surviving 59 air attacks without getting hit and destroying 1,410 Japanese aircraft. It went on to recover the astronauts from Apollo 11 in 1969. Now docked in Alameda and converted into a museum, it's not only a haven for military-history buffs, but for military ghosts, as well.
Loyd Auerbach, director of Pleasanton's Office of Paranormal Investigation, filmed a documentary aboard the ship titled "The Haunting of the USS Hornet." He estimates that dozens of ghosts occupy 28 areas.
He has been patted on the back and pinched on the arm by ghosts. Many museum volunteers have seen apparitions of sailors.
"I asked, 'Why would they go back? Why would they care?' " Auerbach said. "The docents, most of them served during World War II, and now they're taking people on tours of the warship. They care about the ship just like they cared about that time in their lives. It's the same rationale for the ghosts."
Aann Golemac, a clairvoyant who has visited the ship several times, said it's full of spirits. A couple of volunteers saw the ghost of a man dressed in a pea coat walk through a Christmas tree one winter. Others saw a man whisk past a porthole, then disappear.
"When we leave our bodies, we can go back and visit the places that were important to us," said Golemac, 52, of Alameda. "It may be that we just come to visit and check things out. I get the feeling that the men are here to help. "
Perhaps surprisingly, the biggest believers in ghosts don't care whether their stories sway skeptics.
"It doesn't bother me," Fassbinder said. "They don't have to believe in gravity either."
May brushed off the idea of spirits -- until she began documenting story after story. Now, she can't help but believe. She said it's made her less frightened of dying.
"If a mouse ran through here, I'd be screaming, but that void that frightens people, I don't feel that," she said. "I think we go on."
And for those who dismiss the ghost stories as silly tales, May offers one bit of advice.
"Keep an open mind," she said. "You could be in for a surprise."

But the passion in my relationship has faded and I want to experience it again with the right woman. I believe the the right woman is out there with whom I can connect (and understands that this is something we both need and crave). I am looking for someone to excite me again. To make me feel alive and remind me what passion and intense sexual pleasure is. But I want someone who values discretion and trust and wants to do this carefully without wrecking our respective normal lives. I am open to women ages 63-63, prefer petite or thin (single or bbw buscador de sexo La Font d'En Carros married, I don't judge sex dating in lagrange indiana, discretion is the key).

I am kind and polite but also assertive. I am happy to share more with the right person who demonstrates true interest. I am honestly interested in the quality of the ultimate meetings over the quantity. For xxx busy people, the sexually based friendship between us has to bear some time of separation between meetings. It will only add to the pleasure and excitement of the meetings and keep things fresh. Please put "passion" in your subject line please to ensure sincerity. A thourugh description of your physical attributes will suffice for now although we will need to share pics at a later date to ensure attraction. Most importantly, please tell me why you felt compelled to reply. It's important we connect on things to be compatible. let get together and have some fun.

Thursday, August 21, 2014……
Anything special???
For others it's simply just another day….But for persons like me it is a very important day in this year…
Guess what??
Placements?? NO…..
Important Lectures?? NO….
Any Competition results?? NO….
Advanced bookings for Diwali open…. (Perhaps the most important day in this year!!!)
Single way track….Only a few couple of trains….Limited seats….Bus tickets up to price of 1000…Journey time more than 12 hours….These are the problems faced by every hostel student from Chennai travelling towards Southern parts during every holiday.
Every one might have noticed the news's stating that "Reservation for Diwali Finished in Just 10 minutes".
This is the real situation.
Advanced booking for trains opens before 59 days, by 0800 hours over the nation in both the counters and the irctc web page. During festival time bookings like Diwali or Pongal the entire tickets get filled upon by 0810.Remaining persons will only get waitlisted tickets that too in the order of 200+.
Persons will be waiting before the counter from 5 AM in the morning during the opening days. Everyone will be aware of the irctc page's speed. Though recently some improvements had been done (Hail Modi…) on the speed of the page, it doesn't meet the actual needs.
Returning to my situation….
For the Last two years I went by bus by paying 1000 each time (Spice jet offers tickets less than this price!!!)….Struck upon in Traffic at CMBT and Vandalur….reached home after 15 hours journey time…. (Will explain the travelling saga later)
But this time….I had my own advantages
I had a Brand new Laptop….Registered High Speed Wi-Fi Connection (Courtesy:NAAC and Computer Centre)…
I was very much confident on booking tickets this time…..
It was the day August 21….
Woke up at 0600 hours (Second time in my hostel life after my first day at college)
Went to every Madurai, Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Nagerkovil, Kanyakumari, Tanjore, Kumbakonam, Rameswaram rooms!!!
Woke those too….Finished morning chores (Thank Hostel Committee for Water)
Picked up my lap along with LAN cable (Safety first!!)
Entered Authentication details…..
Time: 0735
Pressed Connect…..
Connected to MIT Wi-Fi…..
Time: 0740
Google Chrome….
Entered the domain address www.irctc.co.in.
Time: 0745
Home page opens…..
Time: 0746
Entered the Username and Password with captcha (What the hell is this??)
Time: 0750
Display message: Invaild Credentials!!!Your captcha doesn't matches.
******* ******** (Censored Tamil Bad word)
Time: 0753
Hands are shivering….Once again entered the User name, Password and ****** Captcha (lucky this time…)
Time: 0755
Progressed to personalized user login page.
Here comes another trouble….The page won't allow for booking until it is exactly 0800…..
Time: 0757
My phone ringed……
The display said "Amma"
"Enna da Ticket potiya??"
"Inum open agala ma….open ana udane potruthen…"
"Correct ah potru da…"
"Seri ma….Phone ah vai….potutu soldren (Confident!!)"
Time: 0759
Time: 0800!!!!!!!
To be continued………………

Attended a board meeting for my neighborhood association this morning as its new secretary. It reminded me of how much I like my neighbors and generally where I live. Also reminded me how much I hate our car-centric society that encourages people from not getting to know folks living on the next block over.
He was totes happy about fascist defeat in France though! 😁
Spent some of the night talking to a Norwegian dude, older gentleman, who seemed pretty happy with the idea of Scotland as part of a Scandic alliance. Not necessarily EU though.
I could be down with that. EU is great, but it's not the only way to be part of a European alliance. The important thing is to work together internationally and for the good of the population nationally.
The rest is details.
@Frankenbeans Yeah. I seriously don't get it. Block people/instances you don't like. I thought that was the entire point. We aren't all the same. We're not all gonna agree. We're gonna federate. Whole dumpster fires can be blocked off or not. But we don't have to all live in the same dumpster fire.

The Chairman, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Col. Muhammad Abdallah (retd), has disclosed that President Buhari has Approves Recruitment Of 5000 NDLEA Personel.
Abdallah made the disclosure on Friday at the Public Destruction of Drug Exhibits by Taraba Command of NDLEA in Jalingo.
He said that the gesture would go a long way in improving operations of the agency on campaign against drug addiction in Nigeria.
Increased consumption of illicit drugs among the youths in Taraba was worrisome, appealing to families to brace up to their responsibilities.
According to Abdallah, effective drug prevention must involve positive engagement of children, youths and adults with their families, schools, workplace and community.
He commended Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba for his support to the agency in addressing drug problems in the state.

Developmental characterization of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase domain functions in Xenopus laevis
Doctor of Philosophy
Dr. Sashko Damjanovski
During development the extracellular matrix is cleaved and remodeled to facilitate the large-scale cell rearrangements that are necessary for processes like gastrulation, neurulation, angiogenesis and organogenesis. ECM remodeling occurs primarily through secreted enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Regulation of MMP activity is achieved through the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), a small family of secreted proteins that bind MMPs in a 1:1 manner to inhibit their activity. Although TIMPs were originally characterized based on their MMP-inhibitory activities, in vitro studies have revealed that TIMPs are multifunctional proteins, with structurally and functionally distinct N- and C-terminal domains. TIMP N-terminal domains bind to and inhibit MMPs, whereas their C-terminal domains have cell signaling activity in apoptosis, cell migration and cell proliferation pathways. Using Xenopus laevis as a model organism, this study examined the unique roles of the TIMP N- and C-terminal domains during development to investigate the balance between TIMP MMP-inhibitory activity and signaling activity in vivo. Microinjection was used to overexpress the three X. laevis TIMPs or their individual domains in early stage embryos. This research demonstrated that the balance between MMPs and inhibitors in the ECM is very important, and that the ECM functions as an intricate network. Here I showed that the TIMP-1 and -2 C-terminal domains downregulated MMP expression/activity within this network independent of MMP-inhibition. Additionally the TIMP-1 and -2 C-domains altered signaling markers including caspase-3 and RECK, which was not observed with N-domain constructs, and resulted in severe developmental defects. In contrast, the TIMP-3 C-terminal domain performed no independent role in development. This research is the first comprehensive comparison of TIMP domain function in vivo, and demonstrates for the first time a role for TIMP signaling during development.

Government websites may be stripped of their 'gov.uk' domain names if they fail to meet tough new standards of accessibility to web users with disabilities, according to confidential draft proposals seen by E- Access Bulletin's sister publication E-Government Bulletin.
The guidelines, entitled 'Delivering inclusive websites: user-centred accessibility', are being drafted by the Central Office of Information, the Whitehall agency which assists public bodies with communications campaigns.
If approved, they would mean that existing government sites would have until December 2008 to meet the 'AA' standard set out in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. All new sites would have to confirm immediately.
"Any new site approved by the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Public Engagement and the Delivery of Service.must conform to these guidelines from the point of publication," the draft guidelines state. "Continuing standalone sites must achieve this level of accessibility by December 2008. Websites which fail to meet the mandated level of conformance shall be subject to the withdrawal process for .gov.uk domain names, as set out in Naming and Registering Websites."
Government will have a mountain to climb in order to comply with these standards, according to the best available evidence. No government websites achieved the 'AA' standard, according to the most comprehensive research in this area, published by the Cabinet Office in 2005 as part of the UK Presidency of the EU. Just 3 per cent of government websites in the EU reached the minimum 'A' standard .
The CoI document includes guidance on how to achieve the required standards when commissioning new websites, such as how to check compliance with WCAG; and how to involve people with disabilities in planning and testing the website. Many of the essential elements are set out in the Publicly Available Specification (PAS 78:2006) 'Guide To Good Practice In Commissioning Accessible Website,' says CoI.
However, the CoI acknowledges that modifying existing websites to improve their accessibility will be more difficult and expensive.

((The visitation for Dr. Harvie Pruitt will be at the Venue on Broadway (next door to Combest Funeral Home) on Friday, August 14, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The family will be available from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. during the visitation.
There will be a memorial service for Dr. Pruitt Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. in the McDonald Moody Auditorium on Lubbock Christian University Campus. Please join us to celebrate his life and contributions to the university. For those who cannot attend, the service will be streamed at lcu.edu/live beginning at 10:25 a.m.
The family will host a heavy hors d' oeuvres reception immediately following the service in the Baker Conference Center in order to greet guests.))
Former LCU president Dr. Harvie Pruitt passed away Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2015, in Lubbock, Texas. He was 84 years old.
Current president, L. Timothy Perrin, who was a student during Pruitt's tenure as president, stated, "The Lubbock Christian University community mourns the loss of Dr. Harvie Pruitt. He was truly one of LCU's giants, serving in leadership roles at the university for more than three decades."
Dr. Pruitt stepped into the presidency in 1976, following predecessors, Dr. F.W. Mattox and Dr. W. Joe Hacker. Pruitt actively pursued the spiritual mission on which then-LCC was founded.
Dr. Pruitt stated during his presidency, "The one reason we're here is to exert a positive spiritual influence in the lives of young people."
Pruitt played a significant role in the Lubbock community and the development of LCU. He answered a call to missions in Germany following World War II, then participated actively in numerous Churches of Christ as a minister and member. In May of 1957, Pruitt attended the groundbreaking for LCC, even before he became employed by the university.
Pruitt joined the LCC faculty as a professor of Education in 1966 and was named Teacher of the Year in 1971. He served as chairman of the Faculty Senate and transitioned into the role of academic dean before assuming the presidency.
Dr. Steven Lemley worked as dean during Pruitt's presidency before becoming the president himself when Pruitt resigned. "The man that I observed up close – though I had known him over the years – was a creative and very courageous man. As a leader, he had a very cheerful, optimistic way of relating to those who worked at the institution," said Lemley.
Dr. Don Williams who served as assistant to the president for Pruitt fondly recalled his penchant for pranks and humor. Once during the self-study for institutional accreditation, Pruitt donned a wig, goatee, and fake teeth to pose as an accreditation official. Williams introduced him as Dr. Grunewald to the faculty throughout the day, and Pruitt didn't reveal his identity until the dinner that evening. They had the whole campus fooled. Pruitt was also a skilled twirler, which he displayed with fire batons occasionally in chapel and at halftime of basketball games.
In addition to a sense of humor, Pruitt displayed intelligence and determination in his leadership of LCU. Pruitt's presidency fell during challenging economic times for the university. Despite the hardships, he worked diligently to grow the university. Pruitt acquired a research grant for effluent water irrigation that benefited both the university and the community and paved the way for financial security for the university.
"Dr. Pruitt navigated us through [difficult] times," said Dr. Ken Jones, fifth president of LCU. "Today, we can indeed credit our wonderful existence, credibility, and bright future to the leadership of Dr. Harvie Pruitt."
Pruitt stepped down from the presidency in 1982. Afterward, he assumed the role of president of the LCC Endowment Foundation and the LCC Investment Corporation, in an effort to help secure the university's financial position. He remained actively involved with LCU, serving on the Board of Trustees from 1985 – 2010.
His family has also been integral to the LCU community. Pruitt's three children – Bryan ('82), Bart ('85), and Brenda ('88) – attended LCU, and several of his grandchildren are attending currently. Bart now serves as LCU general counsel, while Pruitt's son-in-law, Scott Flow, served many years on the Board of Trustees.
"Harvie was a man of many talents, a person of deep faith, and the source of great wisdom," said President Perrin. "We grieve his passing, while also celebrating his life of service and faithfulness. Our prayers are with the Pruitt family and with all those who knew and loved him."
