It starts because, really, isn't the whole point of college to leave all things high school behind?
A mantra he finds himself repeating, catching sight of her the first day of Intro to American Lit, sitting front and center with hands clasped neatly together, ankles crossed and casual.
Suddenly NYU isn't far enough away from the UES, far enough away to escape the petty grasp of a gossip hungry website, far enough away to never have to see Blair Waldorf again.
Taking his own seat several rows back, he watches her, unable to help himself.
It's strange enough that they ended up in the same school, (though if Yale had happened for either of them, it seemed inevitable anyway), but it's even more bizarre that she's in this class specifically.
To discover that they might actually have something in common other than Serena van der Woodsen.
It's like he can't escape her.
After that first day, she's everywhere he happens to be.
The library, the bookstore, this little café he found a few blocks away from campus.
Always alone, always reading something.
If it were anyone else he'd feel bad for her, Blair Waldorf: lonely girl, the situation so familiar it makes his breath catch every time she comes into view.
He knows about Chuck (not that he cares), and he knows how it happened (not that he read.)
There's just something, interesting, about watching her deal (or not deal) with it.
She never says a word to anyone, and with the do not disturb vibe she radiates so clearly, no one ever talks to her.
He knows better than to try, but for whatever reason, the urge is there.
Why it changes he doesn't know.
Discovering that the exalted Queen B has a flaw (other than the obvious emotional issues) does something odd inside his chest.
He tries not to stare at the simple black frames that adorn her face, thinking it must be some kind of fashion statement, (geek chic or whatever.) Before he realizes what he's doing, he's already in front of her pointing at them.
Unable to hold his tongue (typical), what comes out of his mouth is less smooth than what he intends. (Again, typical.)
Since when?
She lets him stand there long enough to get uncomfortable, shifting idly in his shoes.
Not that she owes him an explanation, since always.
It just so happens she's pretty nearsighted, no it's not some big secret (despite the fact he's pretty sure very few people know), and she lost her contacts. Dorota hasn't been able to come and-
As if suddenly realizing she is giving him an explanation, she cuts herself off, gathers her books and leaves him standing there with his mouth half-open.
Next day she's back in the same chair, the glasses nowhere to be seen.
He doesn't believe in fate, but doubts it's chance that they end up in the same study group, big project on the relevance of socio-historical writers like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Steinbeck.
She doesn't object to his presence as he assumed she would, and surprisingly agrees with most of his points, counters some with her own, and contributes a lot to the conversation.
It's the most he's seen her speak since school started.
It makes him start to look at her like a person.
A Halloween party in the dorm, in a white suit with a beer in his hand, head slightly fuzzy from the couple that preceded it, trying to pull off Fitzgerald (or at the very least Tom Wolfe) but everyone seems to think he dressed up as the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy.
He gives up trying to explain his costume after an hour or so, including the advances of a drunk sophomore who thought he was Forrest Gump, and sticks to small talk.
A couple steps beyond tipsy when he spots her, the sight alone enough to stop him cold. Shock that she would attend a dorm party, dressed up (Cleopatra how appropriate), spreads through already dull senses.
She greets him with a rueful grin.
Nice costume.
She doesn't reply with words, but the grin turns into a smile, (she knows how good she looks) as she eyes him up and down.
He's about to explain for the hundredth time who he's supposed to be, but she laughs as soon as his mouth opens.
You wish.
(Of course she gets it.)
Hours later they're both considerably drunk, sitting next to each other in the hallway with backs against a wall, he lets it slip that he likes her better this way.
Not what he means. Before, she was like a Disney villain, predictable in her cartoonish plots of evil. And now, for whatever reason, she's different and… It's nice.
Not winning any prizes for the choice of words, but he's drunk, and brain functions aren't running high. He knows she's rolling her eyes at him without even looking, but she laughs, soft and gentle and it's the last thing he remembers before passing out on her shoulder.
Later, waking up on the floor with his head feeling two sizes too big and throat as dry as a desert, he shuffles to the bathroom to wash away the previous night and sees that he's been marked.
Brow furrowed curiously in his reflection, hand moving slowly to his forehead, a slow shuddering breath escapes as his fingers trace the shape of her lips imprinted on his skin.
Whatever they are (study buddies? academic acquaintances? surely not friends), gets easier after the party.
Studying together without the safety net of the group, conversations that don't teeter on trivial (books, movies, etc…) the two of them never acknowledging what is happening, both preferring to let it (grow) be.
He makes her laugh often, whether it's because what he says is actually funny or she's merely humoring his attempts, is never made clear.
She sends him bitchy texts about the fashionably inept student body, to which he always has to remind her that he's not one of her little minions who thrive on that subject matter, but she sends them anyway and he always smiles when his phone chimes.
He drags her to every used bookstore he can think of, feeling a sense of victory every time she agrees, (she loves the quaintness but hates the smell).
It's nice being undefined. It works.
One day they're sitting in the little café going over their professor's latest literary inquiry, (IE an assignment he can use to further argue his points at cocktail parties), about how science fiction has some of the most intriguing morality tales, but is generally regarded in literary circles as a throw away genre.
He's trying to convince her that Phillip K. Dick is more interesting than Bradbury, (he isn't, but Dan just can't concede her point of Fahrenheit being a better book than Androids because it didn't have any "stupid robots" in it), when her phone goes off.
She makes a face at the message, and shows him when he asks.
NYU: A new bridge built between the UES and Brooklyn?
Spotted: Queen B and Lonely Boy sitting in a tree…
Up until now he'd completely forgotten that Gossip Girl had promised to follow them all to college.
Can't say that he's missed it.
The fallout he expects from the blast is a lot worse than the round robin of texts, ranging from curious to incredulous, from the old circle.
Nate: So, when did this happen?
Jenny: Really Dan? Really??
Vanessa: what the HELL?
He does feels a bit guilty about not telling V (lies of omission are still lies), but it isn't a conversation he wants to have. No explanation at the ready for why he doesn't hate her, why they spend so much time together, why he might actually care a little.
He doesn't think about what will happen when Chuck and Serena see.
Fully expecting Blair to pull away, now that they've been exposed for all of New York to see, (a nervous twitchy fear that she will); he checks the rest of his messages with caution.
One from Dad, two from Jenny, and zero from Vanessa, (still not returning his calls.)
Last one is from Blair, left twenty minutes ago. They had agreed to meet up at a specialty bookstore in midtown that catered to the sci-fi crowd. Almost positive she's canceling on him, he hits the button with bated breath.
Humphrey? You're late, and I swear to god if I have to wait in this shop surrounded by all your D&D friends for one minute longer I will make you pay. Get down here, NOW.
Staring at the phone for a second, he laughs brokenly in relief.
Only then does he realize that what he expects from her, and what actually happens, are never the same thing.
Christmas break, abandoned by his family (Jenny's off reigning supreme somewhere, Dad and Lily are at some charity function. No idea where Eric is and Serena hasn't come back from Brown.) Bored out of his mind in a luxury apartment he feels completely out of place in, trapped by the fact that it's around seven degrees outside, nothing on TV, and no friends left on the island.
Well, as far as he knows Blair is still around, but is unclear of the protocol outside of school. Doubting it would be a good idea to just invite her over (not with the ghost of Chuck still lingering), and heading over to her penthouse seems just as bad. (Cater waiter anyone?)
Still, he's getting a little stir crazy and if he doesn't get out of this deluxe apartment in the sky, he just might lose it.
Flipping through the newspaper for something, anything, he finds the entertainment section, looks at theatre listings and sees an excuse for calling her up.
His phone rings the second he moves to dial.
It's Blair, asking if he owns a pair of ice skates.
Tradition, she tells him as he meets her in the park (dressed as the rich girl version of an ice-capades dancer), she always skates at the rink for Christmas and apparently daddy can't make it back into the states until after the twenty-fifth. (She didn't want to go alone.)
Holding up a pair of skates, he shouldn't bother with rentals, she turns and leads him toward the ice.
They're her dads, the skates, and the fact that his feet are slightly bigger than Dan's cause him to stumble even though he always thought himself a decent skater. She wraps an arm around his waist, guiding him along. It's nice, and almost flattering, being the substitute for a family tradition.
A few laps around, smiling and laughing, part of him still can't believe he could ever be this content in the freezing cold with Blair Waldorf at his side keeping him upright.
He wants to say something, to let her know he might actually be glad they're friends (easier to admit under the circumstances), but of course he can never relay what's on his mind to his mouth in any sort of direct way and end up asking her what brought on the change.
Jerking them to a stop, almost falling flat on his face from the momentum, he immediately regrets his words because the moment is sufficiently killed. She stares at the ice for a long time, long enough he's about to ask if she wants to leave, when she looks up at him.
Being that girl, it didn't… It didn't work.
Losing Yale, everyone hating her, Chuck fucking Bass. Nothing ever went the way she planned, the odds always against, being queen didn't do a damn thing for her.
It was like Holiday, (Hepburn reference of course); she woke up one morning and decided she simply wasn't going to do it anymore.
So she didn't.
Looking quickly away, I really hated you before. (As if he didn't know.) So damn earnest, even when he got tangled up in their web, he always came out unscathed.
And now?
Turning back, looking longer this time, he doesn't expect her to say something upbeat and heartfelt, but she smiles soft and warm.
It's good enough.
Still, he never can keep his mouth shut in moments like these.
Are you saying I'm the Joe Bradley to your Ann?
Laughing softly, she swats playfully at his chest, and pulls him along again.
No seriously, you can ride on the back of my Vespa anytime.
She just laughs louder and he decides he likes it best when she lets it go freely.
The night almost over, small gloved hands move slowly up his chest before gently gripping the lapels of his jacket, tilting her head upward as she pulls down and kisses him in the middle of a hundred happy New Yorkers.
(For once she doesn't surprise him.)

Some time ago, I found this cool plugin for Thunderbird (2.x at the time) : MessageFaces (or on Mozilla Addons). It made email conversations much less impersonal by showing images of the persons that I was having an email conversation with. The beauty of the system was that I didn't have to do anything: images were gathered from gravatar.com, X-faces, or embedded PNG images.
Then Thunderbird 3 came along, and busted quite a bit of plugins. Sadly for me, both MessageFaces and Lightning, the calendar plugin, ceased to work. Continue reading An alternative to Messagefaces compatible with Thunderbird 3

In some remote sensing, such as meteorology and oceanography, wide swath scanning must be used. Owing to the limitation of the detector size, especially in infrared spectrum, the optical-mechanical scanning mode is necessary. Scanning efficiency is an important parameter of those scanners. The high scanning efficiency is one of the goals followed after by the designer of remote sensor. Two high efficient scanning systems are developed by authors. Those systems can have some advantages, such as simple and reliable.

Last week we asked you whether you think the council-run newspaper Capital Times should be scrapped.
The poll was sparked by an ongoing debate within the council chamber and by online users of social networking site Twitter about the need for the publication in the midst of severe spending cuts.
Capital Times currently costs £244,088 to publish each year in 12 editions. It is distributed to every home in Cardiff as well as being available in all council buildings, including libraries, leisure centres, parks and job centres.
A majority of 51.8% those who took part in the poll – which saw 139 of you respond – found the council paper should be cut, 48.2% did not agree the paper should go.
Readers commented that the council should consider an 'opt-out' option for distributing the newspaper, and other said it should be available in council-run facilities such as sports centres and libraries but not be delivered door to door.
Commenter dogrunner said:
"Why not simply make it available at libraries, leisure centres, day centres, housing offices and on Cardiff Bus? Its take up could then be monitored and effectively targeted. Also why not separate English and Welsh editions, again a controlled distribution would enable appropriate numbers to be produced. There's your opt out...if you don't want it, don't pick it up."
"Maybe the format should be changed, perhaps (god forbid) it should lose the Welsh language element? Perhaps given that it enters 155,000 homes it should attract more advertising revenue? Maybe it should be less corporate, have job vacancies within it etc. Perhaps a review of recent planning applications?"
Others said they appreciated the regular drop of local information. LocalLad commented:
"I find it a really useful and interesting newsletter that keeps you informed about what's happening in the city, services and consultations etc."
"Of course, Capital Times will put on a positive spin and I read it knowing that, but I still find it uplifting to read of some of the activities taking place in Cardiff throughout the city. I would be very sorry to see it go."
Read all of the comments here.
Cardiff council said scrapping Capital Times could actually prove more expensive than keeping it, and the consultations done through the newspaper produce a good return rate in terms of responses. Commenting on the poll results the council said:
"In the last year there have been four consultations – two relating to Local Development Plan, one to residents parking and another to Civil Parking Enforcement.
"To have undertaken those consultation without having Capital Times, by instead doing a letterbox drop for each of these consultations, would have cost £260,000 in total. That is nearly £16,000 more than the current cost of Capital Times which is £244,088 for 12 issues."
A spokesperson for the council added:
"The paper is also an effective way of telling residents about changes to services, as well as informing them about council policies, decisions and events. It also provides details on council meetings, councillors' surgeries, gives details of school menus and a comprehensive listings section, letting people know what is happening across the city including at venues such as St David's Hall and the New Theatre.
"Yearly surveys of residents on Capital Times also show 80% of people rate its content, presentation and ability to keep them in touch with what is going on in Cardiff as good or very good."
Finally the council said Capital Times' surveys are more effective than the Guardian Cardiff poll because they reach people not on the internet:
"Capital Times goes into 130,000 homes and the Cardiff Guardian survey was made up of less than 150 people. This is significant as thousands of people have responded to our reader surveys and the people who rely on Capital Times more, tend to be the elderly or people who don't have or use the internet and therefore are less likely to have taken part in Cardiff Guardian survey. The fact that almost half of the people who did take part want to keep the paper shows that it is serving a useful and important purpose.
"The aim is for Capital Times to continue to provide residents with useful and important information and for it to provide the Council with an effective way of communicating to the residents of Cardiff."

Yesterday brought more nationwide street protests, and strikes caused travel woes, even though parliament already has approved President Nicolas Sarkozy's unpopular plan to raise the retirement age to 62.
Turnout appeared weaker compared to recent protests that drew millions of people across the country. In Paris, demonstrators waved trade union flags and set off flares, while in Marseilles, they beat drums and blew whistles. Protesters are making a last-ditch attempt to persuade President Sarkozy not to sign the bill.

Elance Is On Cloud 9, Sponsoring AngelHack Events.e_darrellj | May 10, 2013
Update: Here are photos from the recent AngelHack in Kiev.
If you're a serious hacker, AngelHack is heaven on earth.
And we should know, as Elance had a fantastic time sponsoring a recent AngelHack in San Francisco. Plus we're also looking forward to sponsoring several upcoming AngelHack events in cities around the world.
To fill you in, AngelHack organizes hackathon competitions for web developers, web designers and other entrepreneurs. Called AngelHacks, these events give budding startups a chance to bounce their ideas off others, crystalize their thinking, learn new development tools and receive funding and mentorship. They also have access to great freelancers from Elance, who can help bring their ideas to life during the weekend competition.
Oh, they also meet new friends and have a blast all weekend long.
This year AngelHack is organizing even more hackathons than ever, bringing together over 15,000 developers in 50+ cities. Each is a competition (with noted judges), with winners of each city's AngelHack entering a 12 week AngelHack Accelerator Program to prepare them for a trip to the Silicon Valley to meet investors.
If you want to be a part of an AngelHack Elance is sponsoring, here are some upcoming dates:
Austin, June 1-2 RSVP
NYC, June 1-2 RSVP
Singapore, June 1-2 RSVP
Kiev, June 15-16 RSVP
For those who attending the even in San Francisco last weekend, you know how fun AngelHacks are. And congratulations to overall S.F. winner Livabetes (a positive take on DIEabities). They're plan is to make an iPhone app that can monitor your blood glucose level with an add-on device, as well as track your insulin shots and other diabetes-related treatments.
Also a big nod to JamHive, which earned a special prize from Elance. They're developing an online music collaboration tool for musicians, and they're one of the many teams who used Elancer during the S.F. event. This includes hiring Irish graphic designer Alan, who worked through the night (Irish time) to iterate and create a rockin' logo for JamHive.
Good work to all, and we look forward to more great work in the weeks to come.

TEDxMuskegon: A Recipe for Free Range Learning
I just realized I never posted the Recipe for Free Range Learning video from TEDxMuskegon. You can watch the video or you can read a rough transcript of the talk, posted below.
Here's the text this talk was based on …
"Free range learning" describes the learning that takes place outside of the formal boundaries of education. I've been asked if the existence of "free range learning" implies that there is also some sort of "caged learning" as well. Well, the current U.S. education system was developed in the industrial era using the principles of a "factory model." So, in a sense, you could call formal education a sort of "caged" system of learning, but

Transforming São Paulo,
One Building at a Time
Probably the most prominent name among Brazilian architects today, Isay Weinfeld, is transforming São Paulo – one building at a time.
A son of Polish immigrants, Weinfeld was born and raised in the city that now hosts most of his world-acclaimed projects, such as the Fasano Hotel and the 360o Building, which has recently received the MIPIM Architecture Review Future Project Award for best residential and overall project. Famous for his contemporary style, he believes that architecture must cause some emotion, whether it's fear, comfort or even a big laugh. His projects are not about the monumental dimensions that made Oscar Niemeyer a star, but about the intimate spaces that bring significance and personality to the microenvironments contained in the urban ecosystem.
The celebrity status he's earned over the years doesn't match his reserved personality and his soft voice, but that doesn't keep him from designing places for celebration and social extravagance, like bars and even a nightclub. It's in the retail segment, however, that his work is gathering most attention now.
Havaianas' concept store is a fine example of form meeting function. The 300m2 open space project brings the airy and relaxed mood of the brand to Oscar Freire, the Mecca of São Paulo's fashion scene. Inside the store, the customer will find the products displayed in an intuitive fashion: export models inside a cargo container, the early models hanging from a flea market tent and so on. A mosaic of skylights in the roof maximizes the natural illumination and there's also an interactive cube with 51 plasma screens that tell the story of the brand.
His attention to details is also evident in another retail project, this time for Livraria da Vila bookstore. The books there are not only products that are being sold: they became the soul of the bookstore, composing the decoration, the facade and the circulation spaces. Both Livraria da Vila and Havaianas' projects won gold in the ambiance category at the IDEA/Brasil 2009 Award, a satellite version of the International Design Excellence Award (IDEA).
Paradoxally, Weinfeld is very open about his contempt for São Paulo's ugliness, reflected in irregular and broken sidewalks and pretentious neoclassic buildings which are occupied by pretentious nouveau riche people. Let's hope he keeps changing that – one building at a time.

The Week Ahead
- Make or break week for EU debt crisis
- Outlook for central bank decisions: RBA, BOC, RBNZ, BOE and ECB
- US political wrangling clouds the outlook
Make or break week for EU debt crisis
Next week will likely see either an agreement to bind Eurozone nations' fiscal policies together with irrevocable, enforceable institutions or the beginning of the end for the single currency. We have been here before and so far EU leaders have never failed to disappoint, but they must surely recognize by now that markets have run out of patience and a global financial crisis awaits if they don't make concrete commitments to credible fiscal governance. I am actually optimistic for the first time in this never-ending saga since ECB Pres. Draghi on Thursday indicated the ECB would deploy its virtually limitless balance sheet to support Eurozone debt markets, but only if there is a new 'fiscal compact' between Eurozone nations. The alternative to no agreement would be a collapse of European debt markets, which would trigger EZ financial sector failures and quickly cascade into a global financial meltdown, making Lehman seem like a mom-and-pop candy store going out of business. Even emergency intervention by the ECB after that cascade began would likely be unable to stem the cataclysm.
The action will begin as soon as Monday as German and French leaders are set to hold a critical meeting where they will need to hammer out an approach they can take to the full EU Summit on Thursday and Friday. Further French foot-dragging at this meeting would be a death knell for the process, and despite Sarkozy's reluctance, he will need to acquiesce and cede sovereignty over budgets to a centralized EU authority or set of rules. Also on Monday, Italian PM Monti will submit his economic plan to parliament. The urgency of the week is highlighted by US Treasury Sec. Geithner meeting with German, French and Italian counterparts next week, where I suspect he will drive home the message that decisive action has to be taken or the risk is catastrophe.
I don't expect treaties or agreements to be signed next week, but at the minimum markets will be expecting detailed provisions (budget deficit limits, debt limits, surveillance and enforcement mechanisms, and the like) to be spelled out and agreed to at the EU Summit on Friday. If they are successful, the ECB now seems prepared to provide interim support to EU debt markets, likely forestalling an immediate confidence and liquidity crisis. Even if they do reach agreement on concrete terms of tighter fiscal integration, markets may still not be persuaded and stresses could yet break out. If they fudge it again, get the helmets out.
Outlook for central bank decisions: RBA, BOC, RBNZ, BOE and ECB
Five major central banks are making rate decisions next week. The RBA is up first with a decision due out on Tuesday afternoon local time Downunder. Market consensus is nearly evenly split between those looking for a steady 4.50% rate and a 25 bp cut to 4.25%. Consumer inflation expectations have recently moderated to back within the RBA's desired range at 2.5%, and given global market tensions, I would not be surprised to see the RBA cut. But it's a close call as growth remains resilient. I would look for AUD to trade more in line with overall risk sentiment next week based on Eurozone developments outlined above.
The Bank of Canada is expected to hold rates steady when they announce Tuesday morning and BOC policy should stay on hold for the foreseeable future. The RBNZ announces on Wednesday evening ET/Thursday morning Wellington, and they are also expected to hold steady, with recent strong growth being offset by global tensions, postponing a rate hike into 2012. The BOE is up first on Thursday morning ET and the benchmark rate is expected to stay on hold at 0.50%, but the risk is that the MPC doves respond to deteriorating outlook and increase the amount of QE, last at GBP 275 bio.
The ECB decision on Thursday morning ET will be the highlight of central bank meetings for the week. The ECB is widely expected to cut rates by at least 25 bps to 1.00%, with many calling for an emergency-type 50 bp cut to 0.75%. I think the ECB will proceed more calmly and cut only to 1.00%. The ECB is also expected to undertake a number of additional measures to support banks' liquidity; in particular I am looking for the introduction of additional long-term repo operations (LTRO's) for 2 and possibly 3 year terms, and an easing of collateral conditions for ECB lending. The ECB is also likely to acknowledge the further deterioration in the economic outlook and perhaps to even suggest that deflation is now on the horizon. I would expect the ECB decisions to weigh on EUR overall, but again EU Summit and debt market developments will likely be more significant for the single currency. Overall, though, I would expect to see EUR decouple from recent high correlations to risk assets like stocks, but in asymmetric fashion (risk off, EUR weaker/risk on, EUR not necessarily stronger).
US political wrangling clouds the outlook
On Friday, a group of Republican US lawmakers indicated they were pursuing legislation for the US to block the IMF from bailing out embattled Eurozone governments like Italy or Spain. News of the initiative added to EUR's decline following the anemic US employment report. But the move has no chance of succeeding and would be vetoed by the White House in any event. Even the Republican leadership announced that they would not support the measure, likely consigning it to mere political posturing.
More importantly, the payroll (Social Security) tax cut expiring at the end of the year has yet to be extended, with the two sides disagreeing over how to pay for it. If the tax cut were to lapse, it would shave about 0.8% from 2012 US GDP, making it a potential serious threat to the US recovery. But 2012 is an election year and to allow tax rates to rise for the entire working population would be political suicide for the offending party, so at a minimum, I would expect the tax cut to be extended, but not paid for. Extended unemployment benefits are also set to expire at year-end and need to be renewed or millions of long-term unemployed will begin to lose benefits, also dampening the near-term outlook. This is a closer call, but I think it will also be passed, effectively maintaining the status quo into 2012.

It is a small but significant stage in the Saracens full-back's battle to prove he can be a force again in the game after needing a series of operations to repair the Achilles tendon he ruptured warming up for France's Test with Australia in Paris in November 2000.
Swimming will help Castaignede use his leg muscles without having to deal with the weight of his body on the affected Achilles. Although he is still up to four months away from playing, there are reasons to believe he can return.
Tim Horan, the Saracens backs coach, has been helping him deal with the physical and mental demands of his injury and is uniquely qualified to offer advice.
Horan, a double World Cup winner with Australia, suffered career-threatening ligament and cartilage damage in his left leg in 1994.
"I was lying in a hospital bed in Brisbane on my 24th birthday when the doctor came in and told me it was very unlikely I could ever play rugby again," he said.
"I'm sure negative thoughts have entered Thomas's head during his period out of the game and I have talked to him about handling it.
"I took the attitude that if I wasn't going to play again then at least I had won the World Cup in 1991 and had 30 caps for Australia.
"Being able to walk without any pain was the first boost and then it was a case of just waiting to be fit enough to have a game of tennis with friends and play a bit of touch rugby.
"Eventually, I was able to play in the 1995 World Cup after more than a year out but it was still another six months before I felt right about the leg.
"Thomas has another three or four months of hard work to do and he wants to be able to play a couple of games for Sarries before the end of this season.
"Significantly, Thomas can now walk without any pain and the doctor has given him the all-clear."
Horan has yet to play in the same Saracens team as Castaignede, who has missed 38 club matches since damaging his Achilles.
The Australian centre made his debut for the club on the same weekend that Castaignede was injured and he is determined to line up with the 26-yearold French star in the next campaign.
Horan said: "Playing alongside Thomas is one reason why I am going to make sure I am fit and raring to go for next season.
"It will be great to see him back in action for the club and there is no doubt that Thomas is a special player.
"Thomas just needs more time and has that on his side and although he is very frustrated, he is a good listener and realises that he's on track.
"There is a smile back on his face and there is no need to rush anything."
Castaignede will return to France with Saracens as a spectator on Saturday for the Parker Pen Shield clash with Bordeaux-Begles.
The Vicarage Road side must win that match to ensure a place in the quarter-finals.

A mother whose two young boys are being unlawfully held in Russia today made a tearful plea to the Prime Minister for help bringing them home.
Rachael Neustadt told the Standard she wanted to appeal to David Cameron as a father and ask him how he would feel if his "baby was taken".
The Hendon resident called on Mr Cameron to contact Vladimir Putin personally and ask the Russian leader to fulfil legal obligations that demand her boys are returned.
She also sent a letter to Downing Street and has set up two new online petitions as part of her quest to bring them home.
Ms Neustadt, who lives with her other son Meir, two, said: "I would appeal to [Mr Cameron] as a parent. How would any parent feel if their baby was taken? I would love for him to get on the phone with Putin today and just say to him that we have to make this work."
In December 2012, Daniel, seven, and Jonathan, five, went on holiday to Russia with their father Ilya Neustadt, but in January they did not come back when they were supposed to.
Ms Neustadt, 36, then received an email saying the boys would not be home for the foreseeable future.
Since then the British High Court has demanded their return and in November their mother won a landmark decision when the Russian courts ruled her boys should be returned to her.
The case was the first to use the 1996 Hague Convention on child abduction successfully in England and Russia.
But Ms Neustadt says Mr Neustadt, a former London Metropolitan University lecturer, has "flouted" the ruling.
Now the father and the two boys apparently cannot be located and Ms Neustadt claims the Russian authorities are failing to fulfil their obligation by not enforcing the court's judgment.
Ms Neustadt, a UK resident, has dual US/German nationality, but she says the UK government should also help pressure Russia to act given that it is the UK courts that have ordered her children's return.
Her letter to Mr Cameron read: "If this ruling is not enforced, the UK Government's silence surely sends the wrong message. What incentive will any country have to fulfil its obligations?"
It added: "Pressure must be put on the appropriate authorities in Russia so that the children are found and safely returned."
She now hopes petitions on the petitionsite.com and the official UK Government petition webpage will bring about a response. A government spokesman said this was a "difficult case" but that the UK expects "all countries that have signed the convention to respect rulings made under it".

Corner of Samsen Road and Samsen Soi 1, Bangkok
Bangkok is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Bangkok as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Bangkok's different areas.Go back to Bangkok main page »
Atmospheric Chomp Cafe is the place near Khao San Road for hearty vegetarian and meaty Western dishes served up with great music, an art gallery, weekly yoga classes, quality cocktails and air-con. Whether you're after a serious feed or low-key conversation and drinks, Chomp is an excellent choice.
Some fantastic Western-style cafes are found in Sukhumvit and other pricy parts of Bangkok, but those staying around Khao San have long endured overpriced "Thai/Western" restaurants that usually water down the Thai and butcher the Western. In 2013, Chomp swooped to the rescue by offering well-done Western dishes with a creative flair and ambiance that will transport you to San Francisco or Melbourne.
Polished concrete, exposed brick, off-yellow paint and wall-size windows lend a modern edge to the roomy dining room that occupies the first floor of Chomp's old teakwood house. Couches, rotating art exhibitions and occasional live music keep the creativity flowing upstairs. During our visit, the soundtrack ebbed from a funky Billy Jean remix to 1930s Harlem jazz and obscure Indy rock. With good cocktails and a few beers available, this is the perfect place for dinner and a bit of pre-gaming before moving a few doors down to Adhere the 13th Blues Bar.
And don't be surprised if you find yourself back at Chomp for a hangover cure the next morning. More than a dozen breakfast options range from a massive English breakfast to less conventional choices like the "Shakshuka", which the menu describes as "Middle Eastern-style pan-fried eggs with herby grated tomatoes, garlic and red onions finished off with cheese and served with herby bread".
Those leaning towards the lunch end of brunch can choose from several large salads and "chompwiches" like "smoked salmon Benedictine", "cheesy meat balls" and "roasted vegetables & peppered cream cheese". Along with a wide range of sides, the young ones can be tricked into eating healthy thanks to fun kids' menu items with names like "Traffic Lights" and "Green Eggs & Ham".
Chomp offers loads of options for everyone from strict vegans to extreme meat lovers. Veggie dogs and mushroom-and-tofu burgers compete with spicy-chilli sausages and double-bacon beef burgers with cheese. In between you'll find things like the Cajun chicken sandwich with grilled pineapple, with full-on dinner entrees including barbecued shrimp and filet mignon.
We tried out the pumpkin burger, a monstrous stack of handmade squash patty with feta cheese, lettuce, pickle and grilled tomato on a soft whole-wheat bun, all served on a thick slab of wood with chips and real Dijon mustard on the side. While the pumpkin patty was a bit bland at first bite, it livened up as we reached the tasty tomato and feta centre.
Chomp also offers a small selection of baked goods to go with an extensive coffee, tea and juice menu. We were expecting something special from the 95-baht espresso but found it average despite the French drip setup. Food and drinks arrived quick at lunchtime, though some have complained of slow service during the dinner rush. Prices range from 50 baht for sides up to 300 for the priciest entrees, with most breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches, pasta and salads falling somewhere in between. Portions are huge and you get what you pay for.

Most obvious is the economy. The Tories need it to turn around to aid their electoral hopes in 2015. And without growth and rising tax receipts, their deficit-cutting targets would be left in tatters too. Yet the forecasts from the City and the International Monetary Fund are increasingly poor.
Moreover, despite the Government's resolve in tackling the deficit, the real pain of cuts has yet to hit voters.
Closer to home, the party's Right is restive. They believe the Prime Minister is not tough enough on immigration or on Europe. Some will next week demand a referendum on the EU's proposed tax on financial transactions. Most of them want a referendum on EU membership too, although they will not get it. Many chafe at what they see as Mr Cameron's lack of strategic vision and ambition.
Meanwhile, for the party's grassroots, the Liberal Democrat relationship still rankles. Today party co-chair Baroness Warsi tells this paper that there will be no deals locally with the Lib-Dems and that the Tories will fight every seat. The reality of that position, and its effect on relations with the Lib-Dems, will become clear in next May's local council and London elections. It will not be amicable.
Mr Cameron can be pleased with his Government's performance so far. We are told that this week he will focus on leadership. But he also needs to set out a clear path forward beyond cutting the deficit - something to satisfy both his party and a weary electorate.
Whose defence cuts?
Defence Secretary Liam Fox will anger many in the military with his assertion that the blame for the Ministry of Defence's £5 billion of spending cuts lies squarely with the MoD and service chiefs themselves rather than with himself. This week more than 1,000 Royal Navy staff, some of them returning from duty supporting the Libya deployment, will be told that they face redundancy. There will be cuts on a similar scale elsewhere in the military and more redundancies in March. Yet Mr Fox says the MoD "dug a hole for itself" by not controlling costs.
Certainly the MoD must share blame: its cost controls on major procurement decisions have been lax, leading to appalling waste. But to blame service chiefs for their role in those choices is buck-passing: the military advises on its requirements but the decisions are ultimately down to civil servants and politicans. As for the ballooning cost of operations in Afghanistan and Libya, those are political decisions: if politicians decide to fight wars, they must pay for them too. The MoD has to take its share of cuts, like other departments. But the pain now being felt by servicemen and women is hardly the military's fault.
What a skyline
The photos we publish on Page 26 today demonstrate the capital's dramatically changing skyline. It's a staggering vista, from the Olympic stadium across to the almost-complete Shard and the towers of the City: a true world city. Of course, it looks even better in a glorious sunset on one of the hottest autumn days in years.

The System reserved drive shows 14.7 mb free of 100 mb. That does seem pretty full doesn't it? How could I clear some of that out so I would have enough? It has a file named bdrescue.gz with 36 mb of data in zip format (I take it). I use Winrar for all of my zip file needs so it calls it a winrar archive. I think they are put there by BitDefender. Could I just delete them? Or do I need to uninstall ButDefender? I've been trying to google this but I haven't had any luck. Forget it. I should check with BitDefender instead. Thanks anyway.

Fermented foods are popular all around the world, and people enjoy all kinds of these beneficial foods, from sauerkraut and kimchi to kombucha.
Fermented foods have in fact been through a process of lacto fermentation in which natural bacteria feed on sugar and starch in the food and produces lactic acid. This process preserves the foods and leads to the formation of various probiotics, beneficial enzymes, and B vitamins.
The consumption of fermented foods, as they are high in probiotics, brings beneficial bacteria into the digestive system and maintains a balance of the bowel health.
Therefore, the digestive enzymes function better in absorbing food. Probiotics also support the production of antibodies and strengthen the immune system, preventing various illnesses and diseases.
Ginger is a common ingredient in fermented foods, due to its beneficial properties. It effectively soothes inflammation, treats various diseases, and even fights cancer. Its main bioactive compound, gingerol, has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Service Description
My goal is to end with both of us smiling. I will work hard to deliver a piece exactly how you want it. Since most clients want to do EQ and the editing themselves, I am more than open to recording multiple takes in one recording so you can have options. Most people love this and I do not charge extra. If you do not want this, that is fine too!
In addition to voice acting, I can edit the audio and add some basic effects. If you have a music backing track, or a link to an open source music track, I will be happy to add that for you.
I am also capable of writing some short dialog if you can provide enough detail.
"He went above and beyond! Very good range to play different sounding characters and extremely generous with the different variations he provides per line."J. Kirby of WA - Audiobook - Three Characters Voiced

Peguero keys Jaxx's 11-run frame
West Tenn rolls to eighth straight win with rout of Mississippi
By MiLB.com | June 6, 2010 2:52 PM ET
Carlos Peguero drove in four runs in the double-digit frame, the final three via the longball and the first with an RBI single, as West Tenn bested visiting Mississippi, 12-2.
Carlos Triunfel started the fifth with a line-drive single to right field off Erik Cordier (4-4). Dustin Ackley, MLB.com's No. 15 prospect, drew a walk and Peguero lined a single to right to plate Triunfel.
Alex Liddi singled to left to load the bases and Johan Limonta plated two with a ground ball to center to end Cordier's afternoon.
Reliever Thomas Palica hit the first batter he faced, Jose Yepez, threw a wild pitch to score Liddi and walked Scott Savastano and Leury Bonilla before exiting the game.
Brandon Haveman greeted Michael Broadway with an RBI single to right and Triunfel walked before Ackley grounded into a forceout -- the first out of the inning.
Peguero followed with his three-run shot to right. It was his 14th longball of the year, good for second in the Southern League to newly called-up Marlins prospect Mike Stanton of Jacksonville.
Liddi, who plated West Tenn's other run with an RBI single in the third, grounded out to second and Limonta flew out to left to end the frame.
Mauricio Robles (5-2) proved the beneficiary of the run production after allowing two runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings for the Dianond Jaxx (32-23). He struck out five and walked three.
The victory evened up the season series between the squads, 6-6.

The 2014 Flight Stakes nominations have been extended until tomorrow after only eight fillies were included in the entries for the Group 1 event that will be held at Royal Randwick on Saturday.
First Seal stamped herself as a filly to watch when she took out the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick on September 20 and she will be one of the leading chances in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) this weekend.
The John Thompson-trained filly finished over the top of Winx and Earthquake to record her maiden win at stakes level in the Tea Rose Stakes and based on that performance, the step-up to a mile will be ideal.
Winx had her undefeated run ended by First Seal in the Tea Rose Stakes, but she will have the chance to turn-the-tables on her rival in the Flight Stakes this weekend.
The daughter of Street Cry recorded a dominant victory on a heavy track in the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick on September 6 and she lost no admirers in her Tea Rose Stakes defeat.
Team Hawkes-trained Lady Sharapova beat home just a single runner in the Tea Rose Stakes, but has also been included in the Flight Stakes nominations.
Leading Sydney trainer Gai Waterhouse has won the Flight Stakes on seven occasions and she has included Echo Gal, Muscovado and Twirl in the nominations for the $400,000 event.
Twirl was set to run in the Listed Reginald Allen Quality (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens on September 27, but he sustained minor off hind foot injury during the week and Waterhouse was forced to scratch the filly from the race.
The daughter of Lonhro is yet to record a race win, but she has form around the likes of Rubick, Mossfun, Believe Yourself and Earthquake as a two-year-old and won a barrier trial at Royal Randwick on September 19 in impressive fashion.
Echo Gal will be making her Group 1 debut if she runs in the Flight Stakes after she finished second behind Kuro in the Listed Heritage Stakes (1100m) at Royal Randwick on September 20, while Muscovado was third in the Reginald Allen Quality on Saturday.
The Flight Stakes nominations are rounded out by Peter Moody-trained Thinking Of You, wo has recorded two race wins at Wondonga and Caulfield since making her racing debut at the start of the month.
The 2013 edition of the Flight Stakes was won by Guelph, while Norzita, Streama, Secret Admirer, More Joyous and Samantha Miss have all won the race in recent years.
