她曾是一名温和的商业律师,从事专利纠纷之类的案件,直到2008年底在天津火车站的一起事件。当时火车站员工阻止她 登车,即便她持有车票,于是双方发生口角,随后王宇遭几名男子殴打。
但几个月后,是王宇而非那些打她的男子被指控"故意伤害罪"。经过长时间、可被质疑的法律程序,她在监狱里被关了两年 半。
她的朋友和同事们说,在那里,她看到了囚犯们是如何被强迫劳作而没有报酬,听到了他们被虐待和折磨的故事。2011年 出来时,王宇已变成了一名人权提倡者,承接一些在中国最引人注目的案件。
"当她出来时,她迅速成为这个运动的一部分,真正投身进去",伦敦国王学院(King's College London)的中国法律专家Eva Pils说。她在几周前与王宇交谈过。
据中国官方媒体报道,上周在中国19个省统一抓捕了100多名律师,以打击一个"严重扰乱社会秩序"的"重大犯罪团 伙"。王宇是其中之一。
王宇曾是著名维族知识分子伊力哈木·土赫提的代表律师。伊力哈木·土赫提去年被以鼓吹分裂、煽动民族仇恨、批评政府和 发声支持恐怖主义的罪名被判终身监禁。
王宇也为今年三月被捕的五名女权活动人士辩护。她们计划在三八国际妇女节推出一个反性骚扰的公共活动而被捕,罪名是 "寻衅滋事"。
去年在黑龙江省,当王宇被拒绝会见一名法轮功当事人后,她与一名同事站在牡丹江公安局外举着牌子说"律师要求有权见当 事人"。
很少人会看到他俩站在接近中俄边境的这个边远的公安局外。但是王宇的同事把他们两人的照片放到了微博上,并很快传播开 来。
"我觉得实际上是她在人权方面的工作惹恼了当局",中国最著名的民权律师之一、哈佛大学法学院访问学者滕彪说。"这些 律师有良好的组织和联系。他们可以通过社交媒体来动员人。"
在中国,逮捕人权律师并不罕见。据总部位于香港的中国维权律师关注组消息,截至周四,在中国国内共有215名律师、律 师事务所工作人员和人权活动人士被拘捕、逮捕或失联。
"这是继2011年'茉莉花'抗议以来最令人瞩目的打压",大赦国际的研究人员William Nee说。"但打击的范围和对这些特定律师的后果方面都远远超过以前。"
虽然44岁的王宇和她所在律师事务所的其他律师在被捕律师之列,但王宇的境况引起公众关注,因为她是被当局挑出来点名 批评的几位律师之一。
上个月,国营新华社刊登了一篇没有署名、显然是旨在抹黑王宇名誉的评论文章。文章说,"就是这样一个嚣张跋扈、身背案 底的女人,近几年居然摇身一变成为了律师,张口闭口法治、人权、正义,到处打着'维权'旗号活跃逍遥。"
"五名女权活动人士"之一的李婷婷说,王宇是一名耐心、投入的律师。"她工作非常努力,总是在路上,包总是塞得满满 的",李婷婷在微博上写道。"她很瘦,每次见到她都是背着很重的袋子。我注意到她是如此的努力,而且从来不抱怨。"
人权观察的Maya Wang表示,被拘捕的王宇律师没有火气。"她讲话轻声细语,对待工作非常认真",她说。"首先,她是一名律师。对她和其律师事务所的整个打压是一种政治 打压。"
7月8日,王宇去机场为她的丈夫、人权活动家包龙军和他们16岁的儿子送行。他们正准备前往澳大利亚,送孩子到那里上 学。
那天夜里大约凌晨3点,她家里突然断电,Wifi也断了,她给一群律师朋友发了条短信。接着,她听到有人在撬她家门锁 的声音。
"我从猫眼往外看,漆黑一团,什么也看不到,偶尔有低声说话的声音,但听不清楚",她发短信写道。"我丈夫和儿子都没 有接听他们的手机。"
"真相岂容掩盖",她在回应新华社那篇评论的一份声明中写道。"我相信在民智大开、网络新媒体日益普及、人民越来越具 有明辨真假能力的今天,任何企图丑化我的阴谋都绝不可能得逞!"
当局似乎在试图确保这不会发生。在微博上被禁止搜索"律师王宇"和"维权律师",对于王宇案的评论只有非常负面的那 些。

She was a quiet commercial lawyer. Then China turned against her.
Human rights lawyer Wang Yu talks during an interview with Reuters in Beijing in this photo from March 1, 2014. China's state media last month accused Wang, the country's most prominent female human rights lawyer, of "blabbering about the rule of law and human rights." Police detained her July 9. (Kim Kyung-Hoon/Reuters)
BEIJING — It could be said that Chinese authorities created Wang Yu — or at least the Wang Yu who has become a thorn in their side.
She was a mild-mannered commercial lawyer working on patent disputes and the like until an incident at a train station in Tianjin at the end of 2008. She had an altercation with station employees after they stopped her from getting on a train, even though she had a ticket, and was then assaulted by several men.
But several months later, it was Wang — not the men who beat her — who was charged with "intentional assault." After a lengthy and questionable legal process, she spent 21/2 years in jail.
There, she saw how prisoners were forced to work for no pay and heard their tales of being mistreated and tortured, her friends and associates say. When she emerged in 2011, Wang had transformed into a human rights advocate, taking on some of the most high-profile cases in China.
"When she came out, she quickly became a part of this movement and really threw herself into it," said Eva Pils, an expert in Chinese law at King's College London, who spoke to Wang a few weeks ago.
Wang is one of a group of more than 100 lawyers detained in a highly coordinated raid across 19 Chinese provinces last week, part of an effort to "smash a major criminal gang" that was "seriously disturbing social order," according to state media.
Wang for a time represented Ilham Tohti, a prominent Uighur intellectual who was sentenced to life in prison last year on charges of advocating separatism and inciting ethnic hatred, criticizing the government and voicing support for terrorism.
She also defended the "Five Feminists" who were charged in March with creating a disturbance as they planned a public awareness campaign against sexual harassment to coincide with International Women's Day.
And there were the members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual group whom Wang was supposed to be representing, but she was repeatedly denied entry to the courthouses.
After one instance in the northern province of Heilongjiang last year, when she was denied access to a Falun Gong client, she and a colleague stood outside the Mudanjiang police bureau holding signs saying, "Lawyers demand the right to meet with clients."
Few people would have seen the pair outside the remote police station in a city near the Russian border, but Wang's colleague put a photo of the two of them on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, and it soon spread.
It was this work — and her use of social media to take it to the masses — that led to her arrest last week as part of a coordinated, nationwide crackdown on human rights lawyers.
"I think she really made the government angry because of her human rights work," said Teng Biao, one of China's best-known civil rights lawyers and a visiting scholar at Harvard Law School. "These lawyers are well organized and they are well connected. They can mobilize people through social media."
Arrests of human rights lawyers are hardly uncommon in China. As of Thursday, a total of 215 lawyers, law firm staff members and human right activists were detained, arrested or incommunicado in the country, according to the Hong Kong-based China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group.
But analysts said the scale of last week's mass detentions, which came amid a broader suppression of nongovernmental organizations and other civil society groups under President Xi Jinping, was astounding.
"This is the most notable crackdown since the one after the 2011 'jasmine' protests that followed the Arab Spring, when there was concern that the pro-democracy movement would spread to China," said William Nee, China researcher at Amnesty International. "But this has far surpassed it in both the scope of the crackdown and the consequences for certain lawyers."
Although Wang, 44, and other lawyers from the firm where she works were part of a broader group of lawyers detained, her situation has attracted public attention because she was one of a few who had been singled out for criticism.
Last month, the state-run Xinhua News Agency ran an unsigned commentary about Wang that was apparently designed to smear her reputation. "This arrogant woman with a criminal record turned overnight to a lawyer, blabbering about the rule of law, human rights, and justice, and roaming around under the flag of 'rights defense,' " it said.
Those who know her paint an entirely different picture.
Li Tingting, a lesbian campaigner on women's issues who was one of the "Five Feminists," said that Wang is a patient and committed lawyer. "She works very hard. She's always on the road. Her bag is always stuffed," Li wrote on Weibo. "She is very thin, and every time I see her carrying that heavy bag, I note that she works so hard but she never complains."
Maya Wang of Human Rights Watch said the detained attorney is no firebrand. "She's softly spoken and she's very serious about her work," she said. "First and foremost, she's a lawyer. The entire crackdown on her and her law firm is a political crackdown against lawyers who are just trying to do their jobs in implementing the rule of law."
But the authorities used the train station incident against Wang. "The fact that she has this conviction, even as dodgy as it is, makes her a target," Pils said.
When the state commentary appeared, Wang and her colleagues knew it was a sign of something bad to come.
On July 8, Wang saw off her husband, human rights activist Bao Longjun, and their 16-year-old son, Bao Zhuoxuan, at the airport. They were heading to Australia, where the teenager was set to go to school.
That night at her home, the electricity went off and the Internet connection went down suddenly at about 3 a.m., she wrote in a text message to a group of fellow lawyers. Then she heard the sound of someone picking the lock on the door.
"I looked outside through the peephole but it was all dark. Some people were speaking in low voices but I couldn't hear them clearly," she texted. "Neither my husband nor my son picked up their phones."
It turned out that they had been arrested at the airport.
When human rights activists tried to call Wang after receiving her texts, she didn't answer.
Wang and Bao have been in detention since, although their son was released into the care of his aunt, but not before his passport was confiscated.
Sensing that she was likely to be picked up, Wang had said last month that her work meant that "many of the rich and powerful bear a grudge against me."
"The truth cannot be long hidden," she wrote in a statement responding to the Xinhua commentary. "I believe that during this time of enlightenment and rapid development of Internet and media, any shameful attempt to smear me is doomed to fail."
Authorities appear to be trying to make sure that doesn't happen.
Searches for "lawyer Wang Yu" and "rights defense lawyers" have been blocked on Weibo, and the only comments about Wang's case have been highly negative ones.
"Such a bad person should have been executed long ago," said one, "and those lawyers who wrote nice things about her aren't any good, either."

The 20 best sports moments in 'Seinfeld' history
On July 5, 1989, the very first episode of "Seinfeld" aired on NBC.
You don't need me to tell you about how the show went on to be a massive success and one of the best sitcoms, if not the best sitcom, in television history.
Sports always played a major role in the lives of Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine.
With "Seinfeld" celebrating it's 25th anniversary, The Buzzer looks back (in no particular order) at the best sports moments from the show's history.
As Cosmo said, "there was an incident." This was his way of breaking the news that he punched Mickey Mantle in the face.
When Elaine refused to take off her cap, things got ugly — and physical.
Perhaps Frank Costanza's greatest line in the history of "Seinfeld."
Much to Elaine's dismay, her boyfriend was adamant about showing off his Devils pride for a playoff game.
By "eats" we mean "devours."
After Elaine gets the ticket over the Jerry and George, they quickly realize Whatley's motivation, which leads to the brilliantly delivered line by George, "And there's your ticket!"
Doing the opposite paid off for George in a big way as he won over George Steinbrenner.
The assistant to the traveling secretary was not happy it took the Yankees six games to win the World Series the previous season.
The way O'Neill delivered the line "How the heck did you get in here anyway" was Emmy-worthy.
The Yankees skipper fell for George's passionate speech about switching from polyester to gain an advantage on opposing teams.
Simply put, this is one of the most classic scenes in the show's history.
Luckily, George, the marine biologist, was there to save the day.
This scene not only covers George's tendency to overshoot during pickup hoops, but it also segues into whether anyone sneaked a peek in the locker room.
Kramer's mental alarm didn't work, but Jean-Paul made it to the race anyway. However, his finish was painful.
The Mets first baseman made Jerry extremely uncomfortable with his very personal request.
Jerry, Kramer and Elaine debate whether the Yankee Clipper is a dunker, before a run-in at the famous coffee shot.
When Jerry calls George to let him know the Yankee game is being rerun, his fiancee, Susan, quickly interjects.
The Yankees owner, voiced by Larry David, was featured in many episodes throughout the show's history. However, the real Yankees owner did play himself in one episode. But the scene was left on the cutting-room floor and never made it to air. The outtake was featured, though, as a DVD extra.
Sadly, there isn't a clip of this scene on YouTube, but we can still enjoy the aftermath, which includes Kramer serving as Bette's bodyguard.

So, this years Halloween has come and gone, and I have to say that it was a success. We even made it into an Halloweekend and had creepy food both Saturday and Sunday.
All the food I made came out perfectly, if I can say so myself. Even though I forgot to put eyes on the small pizza mummies. You learn as you go along, right?
In the end, I ended up with a few more dishes than we really could finish. I felt so creative. Horror themed food maybe should be something I do every time I cook.
This year, my town decided that it would have a "zombie race" of sorts. You could sign up as a runner, and there were an entire course filled with different obstacles for you to get through, along with zombies that wanted your brains. You had three lives, if you managed to get through the whole thing without losing any, you were rewarded with a "survivor badge". If you lost them all, there were an "infected badge" waiting for you. I didn't run, but I did see that you could sign up as a zombie as well but I was to late to the party.
Also, this year I actually figured I'd hand out candy (for once) to the kids that comes by every year. But apparently kids around here has grown out of the dressing-up-phase so I refused to open. Boring kids. Thinking they can just walk up to my door with their small, greedy bags to just get candy for no effort what so ever. No way!
On top of all the epicness, instead of watching horror movies, we thought we'd play a good old horror game instead. So, we settled for the original Resident Evil for the PS1. I thought I'd post it as my Retro Weekend game, but apparently it took longer than two day to finish, (it's longer than I thought), so that review will come up later. Overall, it is a rather intense and creepy game, so it fit perfectly. It's actually better than I thought it'd be.
However, this year I didn't dress up, but I did go to the "zombie race" wearing my all faithful teeth that I love so damn much. They are a really good buy and have already served me well a couple of Halloweens now, and will hopefully continue to do so.

The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down in Stark County Thursday.
PERRY TWP. The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down in Stark County during Thursday evening's storm.
A statement was issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) shortly after 1 p.m. According to NWS, the tornado started near Navarre and moved northeast. The path lasted an estimated four miles and ended west of Canton in eastern Perry Township.
The majority of damage included uprooted trees and fallen limbs. NWS crews noted minor damage to structures, shingles and siding.
A NWS crew assessed damage in the area to determine if the county had experienced a tornadic event or if the damage was caused by straight-line winds, which are similar to a weak tornado and can cause significant damage.
Sarah Jameson, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said their first stop during the survey was in the 5200 block of 14th Street SW in Perry Township where multiple trees had collapsed. A pine tree fell onto the roof of a duplex. No one was injured.
Check back later and read Saturday's Independent for more information.
An EF-0 #Tornado has been confirmed just west of Canton, #Ohio. #NWS storm survey team is still looking at additional damage and possible tracks this afternoon. More info on the confirmed tornado located here https://t.co/Ib77etRs7a #OHwx #PAwx #ThisIsCLE #CLEwx #Weather pic.twitter.com/e6yLbdTSsr

I also got a bit lazy, so you can see my ugly walls in some pics. Oops.
To the left you can see some of my Finneon/Lumineon (at the bottom)
But this shows nearly everything!
Starting from the top!
Most of my plush! I say most, because some are in the bottom shelf, and Arceus hangs with the fightings.
And what a hoarde of fightings it is! I need to figure a way to shove another half-shelf in there for future fights.
Obviously, I favor some over others!
Next, this shelf!
My misc collections sit here, along with my well-loved Dunsparce!
Dunsparce Corner!
This is a complete Dunsparce collection.
Actually, as far as I know, I only need one Armada sticker and I have everything!
Kaiyodo figures and some misc. I love Umbreon and Charmeleon, but I can't justify a collection. So it's just a mini collection. They may move to the bottom shelf someday, but for now, they are here with the Kaiyodo figures!
When I started weeding out non-fights, I couldn't bring myself to sell my Zoroarks. So I decided - Zoroark is an honorary fighting-type in my collection!
I mean, she's awesome enough, right?
Oh, and my metal Grimer army. I couldn't bring myself to sell them. They're so happy, I had to keep them!
And the bottom shelf. This consists mostly of items that fit under "I don't collect it, but I love them too much to sell" category. Also a little bit of Mystery Dungeon merch. Silly me, I forgot to put the pencil tin I just got there.
Okay, so you may have noticed that I missed a shelf.
This is my Gen 5 Fighting colle-- of course it's empty. It's going to house the Muskedeers and Timburr-line.
They've had like no merch.
Again, I forgot to put my
A closeup. You really don't need a closeup of the other corner, I just don't know where to put that Premier ball.
You can probably guess that Terrakion is my favorite of the trio. You are correct.
It's small now, but that shelf will start to fill come Feb.
Oh yeah, I updated my sales post with a couple TFG, and organized the card pics. Lowered the price of the Victini poster, too.
February is going to be an exciting month!

* Text fwd from Martha Duenas on Jan. 20, 2011 (emphases are from her)
from AS:

Pentagon begins military buildup on Guam
By Megan Scully CongressDaily November 17, 2005
With China looming as a potential adversary and thousands of Marines moving out of Japan over the next several years, the Pentagon is turning its eye to Guam, the westernmost U.S. territory and an attractive launching pad for Pacific operations.
Hit hard by base closures in the 1990s, the tiny island is once again open for military business as it prepares for the influx of thousands of additional troops -- and their families -- over the next decade.
The Navy and the Air Force are considering moving everything from unmanned aerial vehicles to an aircraft carrier to Guam -- a fact that has not escaped the territory's non-voting delegate on Capitol Hill.
Democratic Del. Madeleine Bordallo said she never misses opportunities to discuss the strategic importance of Guam with military officials, both in public hearings and private meetings. But she credits some of the gains to a tour of the island Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld took two years ago -- an instructional visit that seems to have yielded big gains for Guam.
"From then on, things have been happening," Bordallo said this week.
Building up military presence on U.S. land in the Pacific might become key to military, political and economic ties to Asia, particularly as India and China emerge as world powers. "That's where the history of the world's going to be," said Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Guam, located 6,000 miles west of San Francisco and 3,700 miles west-southwest of the sprawling Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii, lies only one time zone away from the capitals of Japan and South Korea.
Hawaii and Guam are both considered candidates for a Pacific aircraft carrier, though Abercrombie denied they were competing for the lucrative home port assignment. If a decision is made, it should be based on the "strategic interest" of the United States.
This focus on the Pacific "reflects concern with the western Pacific in general, and China in particular," said Ron O'Rourke, a naval forces analyst at Congressional Research Service.
Guam and other U.S. land in the Pacific provide one major advantage over stationing troops in friendly countries: It is territory the military does not have to negotiate access to, said Robert Work, a naval analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
"All of the islands that we own over time -- if we're going to be operating in the Pacific a lot -- will tend to be very, very important," Work said.
The future of the military's presence in Guam might hinge on the Pentagon's sweeping Quadrennial Defense Review expected on Capitol Hill in February and a corresponding Navy assessment of the ships and capabilities service leaders need for their future fleet.
On Tuesday, Adm. Edmund Giambastiani, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters that the review will include a realignment of naval forces, including the potential reassignment of an aircraft carrier to somewhere in the Pacific.
But signs of change for Guam are already taking root, with the announcement late last month that the majority of the 7,000 Marines moving out of Okinawa, Japan, will relocate to Guam between 2008 and 2012.
In addition, the Navy might station as many as six additional nuclear submarines at the island, already home to three subs. And the Air Force plans to station some of its F/A-22 fighter jets on the island, as well as three massive Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles, among other possible aircraft, not to mention the possibility of the aircraft carrier, which would bring with it roughly 5,000 sailors on the carrier and an associated air wing.
Should the Navy opt to place an entire carrier group -- including several surface combatants -- on the island, that number could grow to 7,000, analysts said.
With only 3,384 active-duty troops now stationed on the 212-square-mile island, the largest in Micronesia, these additions could strain Guam's infrastructure.
"Where are you going to put the housing? Where are you going to put the DoD schools? What about the hospital support?" Work asked. "There is so much in addition to just putting equipment over there."
Any investment in the island's infrastructure is likely to come with a hefty price tag, with construction costs for the Marine Corps move alone expected to cost in the billions. But Bordallo says the island is up for the growth.
"I feel that we can handle this many," Bordallo said. "I just hope we get it all," she added later.
She and her constituents will be waiting to see if the fiscal 2007 Defense budget adds significantly more to Guam's military construction accounts, probably the best indicator of the Defense Department's plans for the island.
"A lot of this will depend on how much money will be freed up for construction," Work said. "You can pretty much track this by milcon [dollars] poured onto Guam."

Navy top brass visits Saipan, Tinian
Thursday, October 15, 2009
By Haidee V. Eugenio
U.S. Navy Undersecretary Robert O. Work led a 23-member military team in a quick visit to Saipan and Tinian yesterday afternoon before going back to Guam, the latest in a series of visits by key military officials to the Marianas as the region prepares for a $15-billion, multi-year buildup in Guam. ...
Under Secretary of the Navy Visits Guam
Story Number: NNS091020-15
Release Date: 10/20/2009 3:32:00 PM
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class (SW) Robert A. Wood Sr., U.S. Naval Forces, Marianas Public Affairs
GUAM (NNS) -- The under secretary of the Navy visited Guam and Saipan Oct. 14-15 to familiarize himself with Department of the Navy assets, talk with Sailors, members of the community and senior government and military leadership about pertinent issues related to the region.
Under Secretary Robert O. Work met with Commander, Joint Region Marianas Rear Adm. Douglass Biesel, Governor of Guam Felix Camacho, members of the 30th Guam Legislature and the crew of USS Ohio (SSGN-726) to discuss everything from the prospective military buildup to women serving on submarines.
"I can't overemphasize the geographic and strategic importance of Guam. The men and women who serve here are performing and supporting one of the most critical missions our military has," said Work, during his visit to USS Ohio.
During his visit, Work toured proposed sites for the Marine relocation from Japan and current military infrastructures.
This is Work's first trip to Guam and Saipan since taking office in May.
The under secretary of the Navy serves as the deputy and principal assistant to the secretary of the Navy and acts with full authority of the secretary in the day-to-day management of the Department of the Navy.

Those elusive infrastructure bucks

Marianas Variety
WE'VE got our Blackberries, iPhones and fairly fast broadband Internet connections, but it seems to me that a lot of the communications about the military buildup travel at the approximate speed of molasses. ...
Undersecretary of the Navy Robert O. Work told us recently, "We share your sentiment that the planned build up on Guam must benefit the community at large, including both civilian and military residents. To ensure this happens, the Department of the Navy is committed to working closely with Congresswoman Bordallo, the governor and the legislature in planning the buildup and allaying the concerns of the people of Guam. I pledge to do everything possible to improve communication among all parties…" ...

I Can Relate
Yesterday this appeared in our (real, not virtual) mail box:
I really want to help this kid. Aside from the fact that I have a lot of distasteful chores around the house that I can outsource to him, I admire his attitude. At least he wants to earn the money.
But the main reason this flyer caught my eye is because it brought back memories of my adolescence when I was a "kid slave." In those days we didn't have school trips to China to fund, but we did have parents who thought that instead of spending our summer vacation indulging our proto-hippie tendencies and listening to rock music and growing our hair, we should be working.
Invoking the child labour laws did no good. My father informed me that they didn't extend to what he called "casual labor," which has to be one of the cruellest oxymorons ever invented.
My lack of enthusiasm in finding casual labor resulted in parental intervention. One of my father's friends heard about some old lady who I will call Mrs. D. She was looking for someone to cut her grass. Everyone thought I would be perfect for the job.
Everyone but me. Working outside? In public view? I was hopeless—beyond geek or dork, I was charting new territory for the terminally uncool teenager. I had friends in rock bands. And I was "volunteering" to help old people. I could picture them jeering at me as they drove by in their VW vans on the way to the lake.
The next day I reported for duty.
You know how in every neighborhood there is a house that the little children say is probably haunted? Or that a crazy person lives there? Well, that was Mrs. D's house. It looked like it was full of cats and newspapers dating back to the Civil War. It was in a shocking state of disrepair and the grass, the cutting of which was my objective that day, was knee high.
I so wanted to be somewhere else.
"Hello Mrs. D, I'm Tom."
"Hello Steve. Nice to meet you." She always called me Steve for some reason.
"So you want me to cut the grass?"
"Yes, Steve. The man who used to cut the grass brought his own mower. But I have one in the garage."
She escorted me to the garage. I guess it could be called a garage in that it was a small structure at the end of the driveway. There wasn't a ninety-degree angle in the entire building. And although at some point in its existence it may have been painted, now it was just bare gray wood covered with leprous chunks of flaking paint. It was right out of a William Faulkner novel.
"I want you to paint the garage, too, Steve."
Alien abduction seemed like a preferable alternative. "I won't have time today."
"No. Not today. Maybe tomorrow. First we have to cut the grass. And get the doors open."
That's right. Because of disuse, warping and shifting, the garage doors would no longer open. The structure didn't have a normal garage door. It had double doors that were supposed to open out. You have no idea how ludicrous I felt pushing and pulling on those doors and succeeding in opening one of them with the help of this 75 pound octogenarian. "Please don't let anyone I know see me," I prayed to the same God who had already brought me into Mrs. D's employ.
After about fifteen snarling cats ran out, I looked inside. The windows had either been painted over or opaqued by about a hundred years of dirt. The only light came through the slightly open door. If the painting of the windows made me think that perhaps at some time in the past unspeakable rites had been performed in that garage, the stench convinced me. It was like opening a newly discovered tomb.
Except in this case the mummified corpse was the object of our entry into the garage. There, covered with spider webs and cat pee was the lawn mower. I only recognized it from pictures. I'd never seen a real one before. A push mower with two wheels. Just wheels—two rusty metal circles with no rubber on them. No way!
I wrestled the device out of the garage and the rush of fresh air to my oxygen starved brain led me to see the true horror of my situation. I couldn't run away. Sure I could walk home–preferably run. But she would find me. And she had an ally in my father. Together they would make sure the sick ménage a trois of me, that lawnmower and the jungle she called a lawn would be consummated.
I was able to finish the job only because I had no mind for physical pain. My mind was solely focused on coming up with an exit strategy for getting Mrs. D out of my life and vice versa.
But that didn't happen. I continued to suffer through the summer and into the fall, riding my bicycle over when I could to do odd jobs. Artful procrastination meant I never did paint the garage, but we did get the yard looking respectable.
The final perverse twist to the story came later that year in school when I met my first girlfriend. Everything was going along nicely and one day we were staying after school for some reason and I offered to walk her home. She agreed, and when I asked what street she lived on, she gave me the name of Mrs. D's street. I was too young for a coronary, so the symptoms I was suppressing must have been a panic attack. What if Mrs. D was outside and saw me. How would I explain that?
We walked past the house, which looked unchanged. Fortunately, no one was around and as we passed the house Laura said quietly. "A crazy lady lives there. She has a zillion cats."
I couldn't say to her, "I know."
Gail permalinkMay 29, 2010 1:39 pm
Tom, don't know if you have heard of the old term "bob a job". This is how scouts used to raise funds, a bob (a shilling – 10 cents) for a job done. Doesn't sound much now, but was good money "in the good old days" Gail.
June 2, 2010 7:19 pm
School trip to China? Is that code for something? In an old movie, I recently heard the phrase, "I'd like to take her on the slow elevator to China." I strongly suspect these words were spoken without an actual elevator in mind.
Hope the kid won't mind if I crib the text of that flyer and use it for myself, with minor modifications ("Fundraising for a trip back to Austria … so hire a local former teenager!")
It's perfect.
June 3, 2010 3:15 pm
I think you're right about the elevator to China. But I think the school kids are really actually going. I remember when a field trip to the zoo was a big deal! Anyway, hope the flyer works for you. Don't forget to add your own inimitable talents to the list, e.g., food service? Also, "fairly good with technology" might need some tweaking!
June 5, 2010 8:26 am
What do you mean? I am fairly good with technology. I even know how to leave comments on a blog.
But before you include food service among my "inimitable talents," please consider my résumé in that particular line of work. (Inimitable? Perhaps. Talent? Not so sure. )
June 5, 2010 3:36 pm
Exactly–"fairly" doesn't begin to do your talents justice!
Your resume is awesome and I love the Raffella review. Each of those employement increments is a story in itself, with the shorter increments being more interesting I'm sure.
Frau Freud permalinkJune 9, 2010 1:30 pm
I took a look at Cyberquill's resume. I think it must be a hoax on his part to get a job as a comedian. However, I noted that his tenure at Julians defies Newtonian physics. It would be great to hear the details behind his Raffella experience–why would someone quit four times and get fired twice?? Is that a story for the comedy club?
June 9, 2010 2:02 pm
I wish my resume were a hoax, but tragically it is 100% accurate, except for the little counter-Newtonian slip there, a typo I hadn't noticed. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I worked at Rafaella on and off for seven years; plenty of time to quit and get fired multiple times a combined total of seven times, which averages about once a year, so it's not really as often as it sounds.
The funny part is that only once out of the four times I quit (separately from the three times I got axed) did I do so upon giving proper notice. The remaining three times I simply walked out in the middle of my shift: once after deliberately smashing a glass on the counter, once upon throwing my apron into the manager's face, and the third time without physical violence.
They loved me there. I was very good, so they cut me a little slack.
Julian (the owner of Julian's) fired me twice and also hired me back both times (although the second time I opted out), but he was a bit of an erratic pothead to begin with, so his actions didn't really mean much.
Len Skuta permalinkNovember 17, 2011 12:12 pm
I remember my first job. Working on a farm.. .330 cents per hour to start. By the end of the summer my pay rate jumped to 37.5 cents per hour. The fresh vegetables we ate were worth it.

You didnt add the most important fact that makes hack a lot better than Taz: Hack is a magic hero killer, the allround talent that deals with both a strong magic and strong might opponent.
Tazar will stand there with his useless defense vs big spells.
Next thing is: you may take less damage from monsters that are faster than your army, BUT: the comp is scared from the retal, a example:
you fight a pack goldies, splitted up in 6 times 2, you yourself amongst other army got a stack of lets say 14 wyvern. Now, the goldis may see this as good food prolly if your hero has big defense but no attack and attack them rather than your gnolls or lizards.
If you got hack with huge damage they will stay far away from those wyvern coz the retal may kill a goldi.
Now dont even think about prooving this wrong, its just a aexample to show the basically thought, i knot it may not work always like this
Next: when both heroes got a ballista and are offered the skill you will be very happy to take it with hack, for taz its useless. A ballista on hack can help a ton first 2 weeks.
Only advantage of Taz: he can get water, but i think Hack gets better skills offered in total sum.
Conclusion: Hack is the all arounder that never will fail you, he beats Tazar easy and is the Nummero Uno
Quote:mm the utope thing i agree on during cirtain circumstances, but not always. with a power stack hack is better..
Anyways the calculations u got is not correct try em and u will c
i dunno which hero is better..but some arguments are still missing:
The test arch made is not really a real endfight situation. I think in about 80% of endfights the main goal of the players is to eliminate the Lvl7 creatures stack. So u would be able to use Attack speciality with your Lvl7 1 time per round, whilst u can use the defense speciality about on your Lvl7 about 4-7 times per round. So the damage ratio is even higher then calculated in this theoretical Lvl7 against Lvl7 fight.
To the map cleaning situation i would like to add that if u give tazar 2 Wyvern and a first aid tent he can clean out almost the same as hack can do and hes certainly better against shooters and creatures that are faster then your own.
..just my 2 and a half cents.
Quote:[quote(i could be missing yr point completely)?
Quote:Taz over hack any day of the week
but seriously as far as map taz is the best as he suffers the least losses in the beginning where as sure hack takes em out fast but loses alot in doin so.
but if u want a dream hero mephala will beat hack easy aswell
Defense is best
Offense is offensive........

Boaz Baptist Chronicles
Where Was the Bible Before 1611?
|Posted on August 16, 2012 at 1:55 PM
There are only four choices…
1. The originals:
The originals never had sixty-six books in it. (They don't exist, now.)
2. All reliable versions are the word of God:
They couldn't be the word of God, since they contradict themselves, constantly.
3. The words of God are preserved somewhere in the remaining manuscripts:
No fixed or settled texts. What they do have, no modern day scholars agree (together) on what the New Testament should look like.
4. There really is a complete inerrant holy Bible:
History points to the Authorized Version.
Four popular views about the Bible…
1. Roman Catholic view:
Holy Mother Church and tradition defines what is the Bible.
2. Liberal view:
The Bible is full of myths and legends.
3. Neo-orthodox view:
The real issue is what the Bible teaches, not its historical accuracy.
4. Fundamentalist view:
All the fundamentals are found in the Bible, in spite of its mistakes and errors. It is not the word of God. It only contains the word of God.
The correct view about the Bible…
The King James Bible is the word of God. This is the Bibe-believer's view: We read God's perfect word today in the book He has given us; the one we have in our hands.

Lord help the people of St. Lucia. I don't really know much about this young woman, but, from all that I have seen and read about her and the trouble that seems to plague her, I can only hope and pray that she will do what is right by these island people. I for one would have to be honest. I would have lots of problems with someone with this young woman's character tending to my elderly father, or my toddler child.
Comment by Debbie Self | June 11, 2009 |
I would have problems with a person with the questionable character as this young woman doing anything for my elderly father or my toddler child. I admit that I don't listen to the woman's music and I only know what I have read or have seen on my computer, and that hasn't been good. I just hope and pray that she has seen the light so to speak and that she does the right thing by these island people of St. Lucia.

Between the lake and mountains, the region around Lake Geneva offers an exceptional range of sports and cultural activities. Montreux hosts events on an international scale, including the Montreux Jazz Festival in summer or the Christmas Market in winter, which have contributed to the reputation of this beautiful tourist resort for many years.

Editor's Letter: The mobile megapixel wars go thermonuclear
In each issue of Distro, editor-in-chief Tim Stevens publishes a wrap-up of the week in news.
Nokia has been teasing a zoomable Windows Phone smartphone for what seems like ages now, and finally it has been revealed. It's the Nokia Lumia 1020, stepping up another 100 over the 920 thanks to the addition of a 41-megapixel, backside-illuminated sensor sitting behind a six-element Zeiss lens. Video capture is 1080p and the cameraphone intriguingly offers full manual control, but it's basically a Lumia 920 beyond that, with a 4.5-inch, 1,280 x 768 display and a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor.
So, naturally, the draw is that camera, and while we've seen some promising early results from stills and videos, we're obviously going to have to spend more time with the thing to see if it's worth the considerable dent it will make in your pocket. Admittedly, it's far more pocketable than Samsung's Galaxy S4 Zoom, but it remains to be seen whether megapixels can really sell phones. We'll find out on July 26th, when the phone will be available at AT&T for $300.

A little phone shy? Take a moment to let us know a bit about you. And then from there, we can dive into your vision together.
Published on August 18th, 2015 // BRAND REVEAL BRANDING BASICS MOODBOARD PERSONAL BRANDING STYLE GUIDE
I had been working for others for over three years before I decided to start my own business and build my own brand. Even after doing the transition I got busy and never took the time to properly brand myself, all the while assisting others doing it. One of my main goals this year was to polish Reverie Lane Designs and make it what I had envisioned it to be from the beginning.
Being your own client puts you in an uncomfortable chair. Making creative decisions for yourself is as if you were in the hot seat all the time. It gets stressful and frustrating. Finding the balance between what's 'me' and correctly targeting my ideal client was my biggest struggle – before accepting that my ideal client would love what's 'me'. DUH!
What I ultimately want people to feel when they experience Reverie Lane Designs is a brand who cares and strives to use creativity to promote their ideas and imagination. 'Complex Simplicity' is my motto when it comes to designing and living life in general. It is about conveying a message visually in a simple way with a complexity or intricacy that stuns but doesn't confuse.
Visually Reverie Lane Designs has that classic French aesthetic infused with modern minimalism. My inspirations are Coco, my sweet Coco Chanel who was an incredible business woman, fashion designer and brand. I also love Yves St Laurent and Kate Spade brands. All these three have in common that bold contrast of black and white which catches my eye every time and creates that high end feel. I wanted a subtle hint of glamour and added that copper/rose gold which I much prefer than the shiny yellow gold. Overall I wanted it to feel unique yet familiar, elegant yet accessible.
I also liked the black and white combo as it allows me to showcase my clients projects by complimenting them and not competing for attention. It ties back to that concept of facilitating and promoting which is at the very heart of Reverie Lane Designs.
I am in love with the result! It was absolutely worth it to take the time and effort to think through my brand. It is definitely 'me' and I have no doubt it will attract my ideal clients. It has created a new passion and devotion for my business. There's truly great value and power in intentional branding.
Here are the mood board and style guide for my visual people. I do hope you get a good sense of what my brand Reverie Lane Designs is all about and in a way get to know me a little more.
REVERIE MINGLES: HAVE YOU PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE POWER OF INTENTIONAL BRANDING? Please do show this design junkie your pretty brands and tell me about the concept behind them.

I re-branded earlier this year and it was the best thing I ever did! All of sudden people had a better sense of what I was. Feminine and whimsical. I love clean lines, blacks, grays, gilded gold and soft pinks. It came together beautifully! I still have a few things up my sleeve but so far I'm in love with it! Congrats on your blog! Its gorgeous!
August 18, 2015 at 11:53 am
What a feeling, isn't it? Rebranding or polishing your brand truly brings clarity and reignites the fire and passion for ones business.
I've been watching the unveiling of your brand on Instagram and I love it. Good job!
And saving a few tricks up your sleeve keeps your audience engaged.

The rebrand looks amazing! Im new to the whole branding game, and I'm still working on building a cohesive brand identity for my blog at vergeofverse.com. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's important to leave your clients and readers with an authentic and memorable impression of who you are as a person and as a professional. People should feel floored with excitement ad inspiration upon seeing your brand identity. You achieve it so flawlessly here, with consistency, individuality, and style, and as a reader, I am thoroughly impressed with your work and your personal angle on branding and design. I look forward to reading your blog's posts and wish you luck with your business's future growth and success!

Sunday Night Football returns tomorrow night on NBC, as the Colts visit the Steelers.
Also returning will be Sunday Night Football Extra, the second-screen web companion that allows the user to pick a camera angle — and to chat with a certain Internet hack with whom the user may be familiar.
That's right. I'll be locked into the captain's chair, fingers sporting the perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella as question after question cascades like chocolates (or pills) on the conveyor belt.
So make sure you turn your TV to NBC and your computer to NBCSports.com tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. ET as Andrew Luck faces a defense slightly better than the one he dissected last week.

Stelios Koudounaris showcased his new collection for Fall/Winter 2012-13 this Saturday night. We saw a mixture of textures, all beautifully layered to create liquid silhouettes. He remained consistent to his usual greys and blacks, but this time there were also some burgundy-reds and muted golds. I loved quite a few of those muted golds as well as the see through details and the different lengths all blended together, following the shape of the body.
The men's line was also very appealing, especially the textured knits and the jackets.
What I most like and admire in Stelios' creations is that they are instantly recognizable. He has a specific style and identity that he remains faithful to and that's a very important element for a designer. Without repeating himself, he manages to evolve and present something new every time, that still is utterly and totally "Stelios Koudounaris"!
Last but not least, the amazing shoes were Jeffrey Cambell and the fringed accessories by Anna K.

It's winter, and many places around the world are being covered by snow. In parts of the North American continent, they're being covered with blanket after blanket after blanket of record-breaking snowfall. Many places turn that event into a fun event by building snow sculptures.
It snowed last night, so I decided to go hunting for snow sculptures -- here are just a few I found. There are literally thousands online, most are in 'scraper' sites with many, many duplicates. Many were also by unknown artists or photographers who left no name or description in their blog or DeviantArt blog. Amazing. In my gallery below, I've noted a few that actually did take the time ot provide real content, and/or identify themselves. Many will have a lot of screen spam and stalker links -- be careful.
Please enjoy clicking on the thumnails of interest -- or just starting at the beginning for the whole slideshow!
Allow me to modify that famous saying with a bit of my own:
When life gives you lemons ... make lemonade.
When life gives you SNOW, make ART!
If you wanted to go on a snow scuplture art search of your own, just use Google Images
And, ... Thanks for reading

Do you study at the feet of others in your industry?
I am not talking about literally sitting at their feet (yikes, maybe their shoes smell bad!), but I am serious about studying how others are achieving their successes. Knowing who they are is not enough, you must observe and learn…. taking the parts that will work for you and importing them into your own life.
This does not necessarily mean you have to personally know all the "industry giants" and meet with them face-to-face. I know lots of people who stalk industry leaders and hope they will magically lift them to the next level. The reality is those who are on top of the heap are busy, (and some are jerks who do not want to help you – even if they had the time) and too many up-and-comers are jockeying for their attention. Expecting them to invest in teaching you is not realistic.
If you want to be at the top of your field, but do not know how to get there, you need to become a student of success. Do not expect a miracle or lucky break, as those rarely happen in the same way they do in the movies. It is not about meeting a famous success story and copying their life, but rather seeing all that is happening around your industry and interpreting how to use what you have learned to construct your own victories.
I suggest you create your own university and always be learning. Everyone in your industry (and beyond) will instruct you how to succeed. They do not even need to know they are teaching you. We always can learn from others, whether they know it or not!
Over a decade ago I became fascinated with the business of "Professional Speaking". Long before I was ever paid to talk I studied speakers. Everything they did helped educate me for my future in the business. I enjoyed watching anyone who presented (professionals and others) and started to study how people utilized the spoken word to inspire, educate and motivate audiences.
I called this "Speaker's University", and the student body was one…. ME!
But the faculty was unlimited. Professional speakers, authors, entrepreneurs, politicians, preachers, coaches, co-workers, entertainers, sales professionals, etc… Anytime someone spoke to an audience I took copious notes on as much their speaking style as I did the information they were sharing with the audience.
I have watched all the Democrat and Republican National Conventions on television since 1992 with an eye for how each speaker chose their words. At every business convention I have attended my ear was tuned on the vocal inflections of the guru's. In church the priests manner of relating to his flock was observed. Annual State of the Union Address: Extra Credit!!! Everybody who was on stage was my "Speaker's University" professor.
I joined speaking organizations and read everything I could get my hands on about the industry (the National Speakers Association's "Speaker Magazine" is a great resource, and you do not need to be a member of the organization to subscribe to the publication).
I also spoke to any and every audience I could find. I set a goal to speak 50 times a year, as much like Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour theory (did you read Outliers?), I knew that doing was what would make me great, not just studying! In 2008 I gave 48 talks. 2009 it was 53. In 2010 I will top 65 presentations. I have give close to 500 presentations, teleconferences, and webinars in total.
Does this make me a better professional speaker? YES IT DOES! Many people who speak at conferences and other events have never invested five minutes in thinking about the real art and science that goes into creating meaningful connections with the audience. They are on stage for a variety of reasons, but it is often not because they honor and admire the industry of speaking. I love working in this business and will continue to study at "Speaker's University" for the rest of my life. There is no graduation ceremony!
If you set out to learn the ins and outs of your industry, and the people who work in the business, you will become great. Do not limit your study to the top tier industry leaders. I have learned a lot from lousy speakers! (and not just what NOT to do, everyone has something good inside them that can contribute to your education). Training yourself be an enthusiastic and open minded student will bring you more success.
Avoid being critical of the people you observe. There are many paths to success and when you discredit your peers for how they are navigating their careers (as long as they are being ethical) you are missing out on valuable lessons that could help you reach your own goals. You need not adopt every idea, concept, action or practice that you uncover…. but you should try to understand how and why those items are working (or not working) for others.
Being a student means you have to check your ego at the door, as it is admitting you do not know all the answers. No matter your personal levels of success, you can still learn. The best of the best that I have ever seen are always stretching and growing. Be open to the great supply of knowledge that others in your industry can impart into your life.
Create your own university and learn all you can every single day.
Create Your Own University
Do you study at the feet of others in your industry?

I recently pulled a few SDR (133 MHz) SO-DIMMs out of an old computer. They sat on my desk for a few days until I came up with a silly idea for something to do with them: rewrite the SPD information to make them only semi-functional- with incorrect timing information, the memory might work intermittently or not at all.
Most reasonably modern memory modules have a small amount of onboard persistent memory to allow the host (eg your PC) to automatically configure it. This information is the Serial Presence Detect, or SPD, and it includes information on the type of memory, the timings it requires for correct operation, and some information about the manufacturer. (I've got a copy of the exact specification mirrored here: SPDSDRAM1.2a.) If I could rewrite the SPD on one of these DIMMs, I could find values that make it work intermittently or not at all, or even report a different size (by modifying the row and column address width parameters).
The SPD memory communicates with the host via SMBus, which is compatible with I2C for my purposes.
The job
|VSS (ground)
|SDA (I2C data)
|SCL (I2C clock)
|VCC (+5 Volts)
The hardest part of this quest was simply connecting wires to the DIMM in order to communicate with the SPD ROM. I gutted a PATA ribbon cable for its narrow-gauge wire and carefully soldered them onto the pads on the DIMM. Per information at pinouts.ru, I knew I needed four connections, given in the table to the left.
Note that the pads are labeled on this DIMM, with pad 1 on the left side, and 143 on the right (the label for 143 is visible in the above photo), so the visible side of the board in this photo contains all the odd-numbered pads. The opposite side of the board has the even-numbered ones, 2-144. With the tight-pitch soldering done, I put a few globs of hot glue on to keep the wires from coming off again.
With good electrical connections to the I2C lines on the DIMM, it became a simple matter of powering it up and trying to communicate. I connected everything to my Bus Pirate and scanned for devices:
I2C>(1) Searching 7bit I2C address space. Found devices at: 0x60(0x30 W) 0xA0(0x50 W) 0xA1(0x50 R) I2C>
The bus scan returns two devices, with addresses 0x30 (write-only) and 0x50 (read-write). The presence of a device with address 0x50 is expected, as SPD memories (per the specification) are always assigned addresses in the range 0x50-0x57. The low three bits of the address are set by the AS0, AS1 and AS2 connections on the DIMM, with the intention that the host assign different values to these lines for each DIMM slot it has. Since I left those unconnected, it is reasonable that they are all low, yielding an address of 0x50.
A device with address 0x30 is interesting, and indicates that this memory may be writable. As a first test, however, I read some data out to verify everything was working:
I2C>[0xa0 0][0xa1 rrr] I2C START CONDITION WRITE: 0xA0 ACK WRITE: 0 ACK I2C STOP CONDITION I2C START CONDITION WRITE: 0XA1 ACK READ: 0x80 ACK READ: 0x08 ACK READ: 0x04 ACK
I write 0 to address 0xA0 to set the memory's address pointer, and read out the first three bytes. The values (0x80 0x08 0x04) agree with what I expect, indicating the memory has 128 bytes written, is 256 bytes in total, and is type 4 (SDRAM).
Unfortunately, I could only read data out, not write anything, so the ultimate goal of this experiment was not reached. Attempts to write anywhere in the SPD regions were NACKed (the device returned failure):
I2C>[0xA0 0 0] I2C START CONDITION WRITE: 0xA0 ACK WRITE: 0 ACK WRITE: 0 NACK I2C STOP CONDITION I2C>[0x50 0 0] I2C START CONDITION WRITE: 0x50 WRITE: 0 ACK WRITE: 0 NACK I2C STOP CONDITION
In the above block, I attempted to write zero to the first byte in memory, which was NACKed. Since that failed, I tried the same commands on address 0x30, with the same effect.
With that, I admitted failure on the original goal of rewriting the SPD. A possible further attempt to at least program unusual values to a DIMM could involve replacing the EEPROM with a new one which I know is programmable. Suitable devices are plentiful- one possible part is Atmel's AT24C02C, which is available in several packages (PDIP being most useful for silly hacks like this project, simply because it's easy to work with), and costs only 30 cents per unit in small quantities.

In 1856, John Turnbull Thomson, chief surveyor for the Otago province, selected the site for a new southern town and began laying the foundations for what would become Invercargill -a bustling centre in the new province of Southland.
Invercargill is full of grand Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco heritage attractions that give it a charming old-world character. The city was heavily influenced by early European settlers; from the architecture and street names, to the traces of Scottish burr in the rolling R's of Southland voices.

* Risk Aversion goes away mad...
* China just says 'no' to currency flexibility...
* Maybe a return to fundamentals?
* Gold continues to soar!
Good day... And a Marvelous Monday to you! It's raining here, so it's one of those Rainy Days and Mondays... But I won't let it get me down, as opposed to the song! I got a chance to check out our new digs in the building next door to us here... Very nice! And... A long way from that small office I sat in on Olive St. a decade ago, when we started EverBank... To think back 10 years ago, and where we are today... Simply amazing!
OK... As I told you Friday, the President was in China this past weekend, trying his best to get the Chinese to agree to a greater flexibility for the renminbi... Well... There were a few stories this past weekend that hinted about the Chinese agreeing to do such... But I prefer to go with this story that appeared on Reuters last night... 'The Chinese government has sought to distance itself from speculation surrounding a central bank statement earlier this week that was interpreted as a shift in currency policy towards a stronger yuan. However, a report on Saturday by Xinhua, the state-controlled Chinese news agency said that the government would not allow the currency to gain against the dollar in the short term.'
