Lusk Creek Canyon
Lusk Creek Canyon is the most well known whitewater run in Southern Illinois. The creek starts out in woodland bottoms with relatively minor gradient but soon is surrounded by rocky hillsides and cliffs. These cliffs rise out of the water to heights over one hundred feet. After the canyon section, the cliffs recede and the creek is surrounded by forest for the final mile. Rapids on this creek are at low to moderate levels and are mostly Class II in nature. However, this is not a good beginner run. This creek flows through forests before entering the canyon.

05/25/2015By waterhorsemargaret
I was totally in love with this rug when I first saw it. I had bought one like it, but a different design, from Rods about five years ago . Couldn't wait for it to arrive. Was still delighted when it came, very quickly. Then, I put it down on my tile floor, stepped on it and ended up in the bathtub! Tried it again, same result! When I turned it over, I discovered there was no backing on the rug. The one I had befoe had a rubberized backing that had to be practically peeled up. I purchased 3M anti-slip strips at the hardware...they wouldn't stick to the rug either. At that point, I gave up and returned it. I was sorry to have to do that as the color, design and quality were great...all EXCEPT for the back which made the rug a real hazard!

A Blakely church is reaching out to help young people.
The New Believers International Church is building a media center that will offer dress for success classes, as well as computers for online learning.
They hope the center will be up and running in the coming months, but need financial support from the community.
"These things are going to help benefit those that are in need of understanding how to learn, how to dress, how to how to prepare themselves for a job," said New Believers International Church's Bishop Michael Williams.
Right now the church has two computers. But they hope to get five more before the center opens.

2015 Bridgeport Bulls
2015 Football Preview: Bridgeport raises expectations
By Travis Lisle
After finishing the season with an 8-4 record that included a playoff victory, expectations are high for the Bridgeport Bulls.
Adding credence to those expectations is the fact that the team is returning 14 starters to the roster, including eight on the defensive side of the ball.
With all that said, new skill position players and a lack of depth are two of the biggest concerns for the Bulls heading into the 2015 season.
Bridgeport began 2014 with an overtime loss to Mineral Wells, but the team regrouped in an overtime win over Boyd a week later.
That win was the first in a three-game streak that also saw the team taking close victories over Godley and Burkburnett.
A 28-13 win over Krum was bracketed by losses to Decatur and Celina in the fifth and seventh weeks of the season.
Following the loss to Celina, Bridgeport went on their best run of the season – a four-game winning streak over District 3-4A Division II rivals Aubrey, Anna and Bonham before defeating Ferris 35-14 in the bi-district round.
The Bulls return running backs Brazier Talley, Grayson Mathes and Eathan Anderson along with receiver Keenan Holdman.
Those four amassed 1,592 rushing yards in 2014, and Holdman added 872 receiving yards with 14 touchdowns.
The offense also brings back veteran offensive linemen Blake Boyd, Tyler Banner and Nate Ramirez.
Reggie Lane, Chance Pierce, Anthony Ortiz, Jacob Roberts, Chase Williams, Lane Morrow and Dillon McAllister will all return to a defense that allowed 30.5 points per game.
Coach Danny Henson said that despite the stats, the defensive unit was strong and should be even stronger in 2015.
"When you have an offense that doesn't put a lot of importance on time of possession, it can hurt defensive stats," Henson said. "With a quick-scoring offense, the defense typically spends a lot more time on the field. That unit came up very big for us, especially down the stretch."
During Bridgeport's four-game winning streak, the Bulls' defense allowed just 12 points per game, 18.5 points fewer than the season average.
Bulls bring back explosive offense
The Bridgeport offense of 2014 averaged 414.3 yards per game, scoring 35.9 points behind a balanced attack.
The Bulls gained 225.5 yards through the air last season and managed another 188.8 yards on the ground.
"Our passing game should help our running game," coach Danny Henson said. "Likewise, our running game should help our passing game. They should open each other up."
With offensive weapons like Keenan Holdman, Brazier Talley and Grayson Mathes returning, the Bulls should continue their success moving the ball.
Holdman was a breakout star receiver for the Bulls as a junior, racking up 872 receiving yards and 14 receiving touchdowns, along with 206 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
"Keenan was our most explosive player," Henson said. "He's got the most quickness and the most speed.
"This year he's not a rookie to football like he was last year, and he's showing it. That one year of experience has made a big difference for him."
Talley is coming off a 765-yard rushing season in which the running back scored nine touchdowns, and Mathes posted 438 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore in 2014.
"They're very similar runners," Henson said. "They have different body types, but there is really no drop-off when either of them are in the game. Eathan Anderson is another guy who can do a lot of good things for us."
The Bulls look for Corbin Coleman to replace Trey Cook at the quarterback position.
Last season Cook posted a 111.7 quarterback rating, throwing 27 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
With limited opportunities, Coleman completed 18 of his 36 pass attempts for 169 yards.
"He's done great so far," Henson said. "He does a lot of things we like. He can make plays with his feet and get out of trouble. We're excited about what he brings."
The Bulls' spread offense is largely based on completing short throws, getting the ball to playmakers in open space quickly.
"It's a pretty comprehensive passing game," Henson said. "Each year you have to adjust to the type of players you have. We're still adjusting to what players do best and where they fit."
The Bulls have already been hurt by injury, losing all-district receiver Chayton Stotts to a torn knee ligament.
Stotts finished last season third on the team in receptions.
Bridgeport also must overcome an inexperienced offensive line.
To help the young players up front, Henson is installing the offense incrementally, perfecting the base before moving on toward the more advanced aspects.
Experience to pay off for Bulls
The Bridgeport defense should be improved with the return of eight starters.
Regi Lane led the team with 86 tackles as a sophomore, and he looks to have an even better season this year.
According to his coach, Lane doesn't have the physical tools that typically go along with a star linebacker, but his feel for the game is unquestionable.
"He made a lot of tackles last year," Coach Danny Henson said. "He was just a sophomore. He was undersized and not the fastest, but he just knows how to play the game really well.
"He just goes out there and plays the game and his position. He's great at film study, and he has a lot of the intangibles that make him a great linebacker."
Chance Pierce will lead a defensive line after a phenomenal junior season in which the defensive end posted a team-high 12 tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
"He's got a lot of strength and quickness," Henson noted. "He's not huge, but he has good size. It makes him a dynamic player. We hope to be good enough on the back end of the defense to help him make more plays."
After playing cornerback his junior season, Dillon McAlister will make the position change to outside linebacker.
Lane Morrow will join McAlister at the outside linebacker spot.
Morrow recorded 28 tackles last season with two behind the line of scrimmage.
On the back end of the defense, last season's Defensive Newcomer of the Year, Abe Huerta, returns alongside Chase Williams at the two safety spots.
Huerta had 72 tackles, two interceptions, three passes defended and a forced fumble in 2014.
Casey Riggs will take over a starting role at cornerback with backup experience from a season ago.
Although the defensive stats from last season don't look strong, Henson said it has a lot to do with how the offense played.
"There were times when the defense held on to a lot of games for us," he said. "The stats can be deceiving. If a program runs a really fast-paced offense that tries to press the issue and doesn't have time-management as a priority, defensive stats usually struggle."
Henson also said that the defense should be better after playing so many sophomores last season, gaining valuable experience.
The defense allowed 30.5 points per game on the season but tightened up during district play, giving up an average of 12 during the late-season, four-game winning streak.

I've just bought the domain name http://www.indiblog.com
My original blog is located in a convoluted address at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~sr352/wordpress, and since it is that long, I bought this new name and have set up the forward which works well.
However, I now want all the links that wordpress generates internally to say indiblog.com instead of the really long URL. I tried changing the WordPress URI and Blog URI in the Admin to http://www.indiblog.com - but that serves me the blog without CSS or the links don't work! If I revert it back to the long name, then it works fine.
Now, how do I change the settings so that URLs within the blog point to my new domain name, and not to the hosted server domain.
Please help!!

With the SPX exercise settlement value exactly at the strike price of $1390 at expiration, the 1390 put would be at-the-money and have no value.
With SPX at the break-even point of 1365 at expiration, the 1390 put would be in-the-money and exercised.
The cash settlement amount received upon exercise would be:
$1390 (put strike price) – 1365 (settlement value) = $25 x $100 = $2,500
This amount of $2,500 is the total cost of the put.
If the SPX exercise settlement value is between 1390 and 1365 at expiration, the 1390 put will also be in-the-money and would be exercised. The cash settlement amount received, however, would be less than the total cost of the put, resulting in a partial loss for the position.
For example, say the exercise settlement value is 1375 at expiration. The cash settlement amount received upon exercise would be:
$1390 (put strike price) – 1375 (settlement value) = $15 x $100 = $1,500
SPX did decline in value, but not as much as anticipated. The put that originally cost a total of $2,500 is now worth $1,500, so the investor can recoup some of its initial purchase price and realize a partial loss.
$2,500 total premium paid for put
–$1,500 cash settlement amount received at put's exercise (or sale at intrinsic value)
$1,000 partial loss

That was the price of this on November 1st - down over 8% since then - stunning really.
Where does it end?
T&T Increases Dividend 2.2 Percent 30(th) consecutive annual increase in the quarterly dividend reflects strength of cash flows, commitment to return value to stockholders DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 13, 2013--
thats a good question that nobody can answer, i do see a correlation with the 10 yr treasury and all dividend stocks, only problem is T has gone down percentage wise much more that the others stocks I think if the 10 year hits 3 percent, we are looking at 30 as a high here…..just my opinion...
10 year T bills still a joke. Let the Chinese but them.

At night my legs twitch and it keeps me awake all the time. I was stupid and didnt take my iron pill for a week then got my period so all of my symptoms came back. I have noticed that when i dont take my pill my legs twitch. Is this the iron deficiency or is it RLS?

There are a lot of studies that have found corelation between iron deficiency anemia and RLS. Many people with RLS are found to be iron deficient and that taking iron helps reduce the RLS symptoms. Whether or not yours was RLS or iron deficiency it is hard to say and maybe both. Some have found also that taking Magnesium helps. It is also good to avoid alcohol, caffeine and nicotine which can all aggravate symptoms of RLS. Some moderate intensity exercise has been shown to be helpful too. If the iron is working for you then try not to miss doses. Put an alarm on your cell phone to remind you or figure out some kind of system to help you remember to take your dose each day. Hope this has helped you some. Have a great day!

Is it possible to create smooth restart of node.js application without downtime at all?
Thanks ;)
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Is it possible to create smooth restart of node.js application without downtime at all?
Thanks ;)
I took an approach similar to PartlyCloudy, but just using multiple node threads on the same process, and using the OS as the load balancer instead of a separate one.
So I have code in my "app.coffee" code that's stolen from:
I only added a "setTimeout". For a period of 5-20 seconds I may have 16 forks on my 8 cores instead of 8, but that's better for me than downtime.
Depending on your use case, application style and statefulness, you might also start multiple node processes running the same application and put a reverse proxy/load balancer in front (i.e. HAProxy). In case of a crash of a process, the load balancer will dispatch new requests to other processes, as long as the node has not yet restarted. This also improves performance by utilizing multiple cores. However, shared states such as sessions might be more tricky to handle (i.e. externally using Redis).
in case of an crash of your script you will everytime have a downtime, it's not possible to prevent. But you can use forever.js to automagically restart your script whenever it crashes.

Mary, no, Lily protested, folding her arms stubbornly.
Mary put her hands on her hips, her blue eyes glaring at Lily. Lily, you promised!
Lily scrunched her nose up. But I dont want to! she cried out, tucking her red hair behind her ears. Mary rolled her eyes and grabbed her best friends hand, dragging her to the party the Gryffindor boys decided to throw for Remus 15th birthday. Maarrryy! Lily whined, digging her heels into the ground.
Mary dropped her wrist. Lily, everyones going!
Lily rolled her eyes and sat back down on her bed, crossing her arms. Its only the Gryffindor boys and girls! It isnt that big of a deal she shot back.
Mary ran a hand through her dull brown hair. Remus wants us there! Hes really started to open up; you dont want to let him down, do you? Mary asked, approaching to Lilys sensitive side.
It worked. Lily chewed on her bottom lip and then sighed loudly. Fine. Well go. Mary grinned and clapped her hands together before bounding to Lily to link arms with her.
Its going to be fun, Lily, she said, nudging her slightly. Theyre the ones that play pranks and tricks! she said, her eyes shining excitedly.
Lily bit her lip before beaming as well. Yeah, it probably will be fun. Is it just in their dorm? she asked.
Mary shook her head. No. They said to meet us out at the Entrance Hall. Lily frowned but didnt say anything and together, they made their way to meet the four boys.
When they finally arrived, both Lily and Mary were quite out of breath. Dorcas and Marlene were already chatting to Remus, talking about the night that they were preparing for.
Finally! Sirius said, What took you guys so long? And why are you panting?
Mary answered breathlessly, Unfit. Sorry were late, Lily here needed some convincing. Lily shot her a scowl but Mary ignored it. James smiled at Lily, but went unnoticed by the red head. Happy birthday, Remus! She gave him a hug to his surprise.
Thanks, he said, patting her back awkwardly. Mary let go and Lily stepped up to also give him a hug and wish him happy birthday. He responded just as awkwardly and then Peter clapped his hands.
So, should we get going? he asked, looking at James. James shrugged and Sirius answered for him.
Yeah, come on. Curfews nearly up. He started walking out but then Marlene stopped him.
How are we going to get back in? she asked nervously. Dorcas folded her arms and Lily stared at the four boys, who shot each other mischievous smirks.
Marynoticing the boys cheeky looksasked unsurely, We are coming back in, arent we?
Ah, MacDonald, so little faith. But no, we arent, Sirius replied, throwing an arm around her shoulders.
Im not going out there, Ive heard its haunted! Dorcas said in hushed tones. The four boys burst out laughing and Dorcas said indignantly, Oi! Quit your laughing!
Lily said loudly, Okay then, we just wont join you then! Everyone chorused, NO! Lily looked incredibly smug as the rest of them realised she was just bluffing, but Mary still stared at her suspiciously.
Alright, alright, James said, It isnt haunted. Were going to the Shrieking Shack, we always go there and its usually us making those noises, he admitted, opening his arms wide. Happy?
Marlene muttered to Lily, Not particularly. Lily fought to keep a smile off her face. Louder, she said, Okay then. Lead the way.
The four boys obliged, talking amongst themselves loudly. The girls lagged behind, whispering to each other about this secret party. They were worried they were going to get in trouble but were still so curious to see what these boys did all the timeafter all, they were always talking about the adventures they had.
They reached the slightly swaying Whomping Willow and Remus winked at them. Watch, he said, pulling out his wand. Dorcas grabbed Marlene and Marys hands in fright. Dorcas was very brave usually, but ghosts and the unknown absolutely terrified her. Lily watched them, evidently torn between curiosity and terror.
Remus charmed a small twig to press a knot on the end of the branch and suddenly all movement stopped from the tree. Peter gestured for them to come closer. Come quickly, just keep walking right to the end, he said, showing a small hole for them to crawl through.
They didnt move and Sirius swore. Come on, the Tree isnt going to stay still for ages. Hurry up, well follow straight away! The four still didnt move.
Mary snapped, Why dont you guys go first then?!
James rolled his eyes but before he could retort anything, Remus intervened. Fine, Ill go first. Okay? He pushed himself through the hole and after seeing him go through; the girls were more at ease to follow him.
Lily was left to last and she turned around to glare at the three boys. Dont you dare stare at my bum when I go through. She specifically glared at James.
Evans, Im appalled youd ever think I would James started saying, his hand at his chest in mock-horror but Sirius interrupted him.
James, stop lying. Wed all stare at your bum though, in all honesty. He grinned at her and she rolled her eyes, trying not to laugh.
Peter squawked indignantly. I wouldnt! Lily, I swear I wouldnt! he said, looking at her seriously.
She laughed. Its okay, Peter. Im not worried about you so much, youre too nice. He grinned at her and Sirius shoved him playfully. Lily then forced them to turn around before squeezing herself through the tight entrance. She made a face as she crawled on the dirt, thankful she decided to wear shorts instead of trousers. She called back, You can come in now!
As soon as she called out, a body flew into the tunnel, slamming into her. Lily heard a swear word and then an, Im so sorry, Evans! Are you okay?! He got off her and put as much distance between them. She got off the floor, wiping her now-brown blouse.
She nodded. Yeah, I am. My shirt isnt though. She grimaced and James looked incredibly apologetic.
Im really sorry, he repeated. She waved him off, telling him it was okay and continued walking to the end like Peter said. When she finally arrived Mary shrieked.
Ew! What the hell is on you, Lily?! She stared at her shirt, which was once white, with her nose scrunched up. Marlene laughed loudly at her and Dorcas sat in the corner, hugging herself, looking around nervously. Remus was looking for something in the corner of the room.
James came up behind her. I accidentally fell on her. Here, Evans. She turned around and he pointed his wand to her shirt and muttered, Scourigfy. The dirt washed away and he looked very pleased with himself.
Thanks, James, Lily said, looking at her white-again shirt. He was about to respond but then Peter and Sirius came walking through the doorway.
Ah, Remus, looking for Butterbeers? Sirius asked, shoving his hands in his pockets with his thumbs sticking out.
He didnt respond but instead brought a case of Butterbeer out. Ive got the Butterbeers, he said happily, grinning at all of them.
Dorcas narrowed her eyes. Where did you get them from? Our last Hogsmeade trip was over a month ago.
James tapped his nose. Ask no questions and well tell you no lies. Now, who wants a drink? Everyone did and he handed them all one each. They graciously accepted and started to drink.
Sirius sat down and encouraged everyone to sit in a circle. They all sat down and started to talk about Hogwarts, and the impending war. They were only 14some 15but they had a weight on their shoulders that wouldnt lift until it endedthats if it ever ended.
Sirius discussed about the way his parents and family were dealing with it, how they were excited about it, not noticing that a few of them felt ill about the way they talked about Mugglebornsespecially Lily and Mary.
Sirius! James said loudly, his voice cracking. Shut up.
Sirius looked offended but James twitched his head ever so slightly to the two girls, who had paled considerably. He swallowed and muttered, Sorry MacDonald and Evans.
No, its okay, Lily replied, her voice uncharacteristically high. Its probably good that youre telling us this, we know what were up against. She smiled tightly at them and Mary nodded, also looking determined.
Youre going to fight? Peter asked, shocked. They nodded and he whistled. Wow, thats pretty brave of you, he said appreciatively, raising his Butterbeer up.
Dorcas asked confusedly, Wait, dont you want to fight? She looked around the room and Peter shrugged.
No, not really. I dont want to get killed, and I dont want my family or friends to get killed, he said simply, a slight blush rising on his cheeks as everyone stared at him.
Remus shook his head. Mate, weve got to fight. Weve got to fight for whats right, do you think Voldemort He ignored the flinches and gasps from across the room. will let people live just because they didnt get involved? He doesnt give a damn who he kills, whether they fight or not. Its a matter of doing whats right, no matter the consequence.
The room went silent in appreciation of Remus speech. It was true and they knew it. James broke it by saying, My parents told me The three boys snorted and he rolled his eyes and conceded, Okay. I overheard my parents talking about how they wanted to start an organisation, like Voldemorts He ignored the twitches that went across the room. followers. But well do the opposite. Well recruit more and more, and fight him until its over. He paused to take a sip of his drink. And I want to be a part of that. We should all join together; make a promise that were always going to look out for each other.
Lily was very surprised to see the annoying boy who had been bugging her earlier talk like this. She wondered if this was the real James Potter. She found herself saying, Yeah. We should. Weve got some great witches and wizards right in this room. Dorcas especially. Dorcas blushed and Lily sent her a grin, knowing what a talented witch her friend was. She knew when she grew up, she would do great things.
The rest of them started to get excited and Peter was finally convinced of what to do. He knew it was right and wanted to join his friends in defeating the most evil wizard of time.
They started talking about how they would defeat Voldemort and what theyd yell. They started laughing as James and Sirius, did a duet together, making a song up how they would throw celebrations with extravagant fireworks that Filibuster just created.
They were doing a dance and the whole room was laughing, some nearly crying from their hopeless dancing. Mary wheezed, Its like you guys have two left feet!
Sirius had been dancing on a stack of chairs, precariously placed on an old box. He abruptly stopped dancing and pouted. That was mean, MacDonald. Apologise to James and me.
James, still dancing on the table, agreed with him. Yeah, words hurt, Maccas. She scowled at the nickname but he grinned at her, and did a funny dance move to make her laugh.
She huffed and apologised. Sirius winked at her and started to dance again, but he lost his balance and with a scream, he landed with a loud thump on the wooden floor. He groaned and rolled, holding his arms. James jumped down to check on his best mate.
Sirius, are you okay?! he asked, kneeling beside him. Sirius nodded and James poked him to see if hed cry out. He didnt so he stood back up and said, Hes fine!
Marlene, who had not been paying attention, turned around and asked, Why is Sirius on the floor?
Before James could respond, Sirius answered, I thought Id lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while, he grunted, It relaxes me.
It does? Ohyoure being sarcastic. Thats a good sign probably,* Mary said, trying not to laugh.
Remus snorted and told them not to panic because he was very overdramatic. At that, Sirius got up, still holding his arm, and whined, Remus, that hurt more than the fall.
Dorcas snorted. Remus, whatever do you mean? Sirius isnt dramatic! The room started to laugh again at Sirius expense, and he didnt look too happy. However, he couldnt keep his façade of being annoyed up so he joined in, grabbing everyone another Butterbeer.
Slowly, but surely everyone started to fall asleep in the dingy shack. It was cold but with blankets and heating charms, they were able to keep warm. Surprisingly, the only two left awake were Lily and James.
James whispered, Do you want to go outside and talk? Lily nodded and he grabbed a few blankets, letting her lead the way. They wriggled out the hole and stayed a fair distance away from the tree, in order to not get hit. James handed Lily a blanket, gave one to himself and wrapped another over the both of them. Lily found that she did not mind this.
James looked at her. You know how before, we were talking about the war? She nodded and he continued, Are you scared to fight?
She looked up at the sky, revelling in the bright stars that she never saw at home. There were a few clouds, but in the gaps, the stars shone brightly. The moon cast an eerie glow around them and everything around them was silently still.
I dont know, she said finally. She toyed with the corner of the red blanket that covered the both of them. I am, but I dont want to just sit and watch as things happen around me. James nodded and she tucked her knees under her chin, deep in thought. What about you?
He shrugged. Yeah, but Ive known all my life that something like this was going to happen. My parents are heavily involved in the Ministry and Auror business and I overhear things. Sometimes it scares me but mostly it gives me a thrill, because Ill be doing something for once, instead of sitting around and taking notes. Ill be out there, protecting everyone I love.
Lily had been staring at him the whole time and at the end of his speech, she turned her eyes upward again. The stars are pretty, arent they? she said, for lack of a better response.
They are, he said appreciatively. Hed known about Astronomy all his life, due to his parents teaching him about it before he went to school and then at school he had lessons on it. However, he didnt remember all the different constellations. He said, If I was Sirius, I could probably tell you all the different names for the constellations. I never paid attention to those, but Sirius used to. He quite liked it. Especially because hes named after the brightest star.
Lily looked at him in surprise. Sirius is named after a star? She tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.
Yeah. James nodded and looked back at the sky. His whole family is named after constellations, or stars. Except his cousin Narcissa. Shes named after a flower. Dunno why, though. Lily looked thoughtful and James said, A lot of old Pureblood families name their children after stars. I think its just a traditional thing.
Lily smiled and asked, What about you? Why the name James?
He shrugged. Dunno, I guess my parents really liked it. She laughed and he grinned. What about you; why Lily?
Lily shrugged, deep in thought. My sisters called Petunia, so I think Mum just liked flowers or something. Its sweet though, Mum has petunias and lilies in her garden, just to remind her of us when were away.
James smiled and they were silent for a bit again. But it wasnt uncomfortable; they just sat there and pondered about the past.
Lily said quietly, Its sad, isnt it? James looked at her confusedly and she said, Were 15 and were already thinking about fighting and dying for people.
14, James corrected absentmindedly. Lily gave him a look and he laughed. She laughed too but then grew serious again.
Fine. 14 and 15. But the point remains: were prepared to die and ready to join an organisation that is basically a death wish.
James nodded, realising her point. Yeah, I guess it is sad. She looked at him and smiled. But you know, he found himself saying, we could develop a new place thats free from all these terrible things. If we fight, our children He blushed and stuttered, Notnot like our children, but
Lily interrupted him with a laugh. No, I know what you mean. The next generation? she asked, laughing at his bright red face.
He rubbed the back of his neck, laughing uncomfortably. Yeah, thats what I meant. But I was saying, the next generation will be able to live happier lives, and I think thats what Ill be fighting for. So ourmy children will be able to have a normal life.
Lily stared at him, gobsmacked. I never thought of it that way, she murmured. He shrugged and she said louder, Yeah. Thats a good reason to fight. Not for yourself, but for others. He smiled at her and then she sighed.
Whats wrong? he asked her, looking concerned.
She hesitated. I was just thinking, if I wasnt a witch, what would life be like now? Id probably be worrying about what normal 15or 14 she added at James look. year olds worry about. Homework, boys, you know
He didnt know what to say to that so he gently touched her shoulder, in a comforting gesture. She wasnt looking at him, but kept her eyes focused on the large castle in front of her, the one that she had called home for nearly five years.
Its better though, she said, as if from a distance. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw James crinkle his eyebrows in confusion. Its better this world, Im glad Im a part of it. I want to fight and I want to make the world a happier place. Its better, she repeated firmly.
Yeah, it really is, he said, looking at her intently.

Ever thought some of that old warbling magic might get lost when extraneous stuff like producers, engineers, fellow band members and all that get involved? More and more clips are emerging on YouTube where iconic vocals have been isolated from all the baubles (and guitars, drums and electronic washes) around them, and they're giving us the chance to appreciate the singer's skill anew.
Sometimes, with all the actual music stripped away, you understand why the vocals have been buried by bells, whistles and effects but equally there are moments when what remains is fresh, fascinating and a breathtaking world away from what we thought we knew. Here are ten naked vocals to illustrate the special alchemy each singer brings to the party.
John Lennon's barely disguised love threat to Yoko Ono is shown in all its stark passion, his voice cracking under the strain of fearing he'll be left high and dry. Macca provides sterling 'Helter Skelter'-raw support.
When Whitney died earlier this year, this crept onto the blogs to show us what we'd lost: an earth-scorching belter who could express trepidation and joy with one flick of that melismatic larynx.
Billie Joe Armstrong is no one's idea of a technically precise classically trained singer but even his strangled delivery sounds like he means it, man, and nowhere more than on the splenetic 'American Idiot', giving it both barrels to a crowd mixed low.
In which the God of rawk saw that it was good, and no wonder, with Bon Scott gargling razor blades and setting the standard for blues-metal hollering. Even without Angus Young's deathless gonzo riffs it works.
Here's chance to hear two of rock's great showmen attempt to best each other away from the twin beasts of Brian May's licks and John Deacon's peerless bassline. Bowie shows authority enough but it's Freddie Mercury's astounding vocal leaps into the beyond that lay you flat on your back, a long-stemmed microphone at your throat.
The great rock singer left in the wilderness. He's no Maria Callas in the pure singing stakes, but Liam Gallagher has cojones to burn - erm, should he want to - and even winningly gauche like he is here he's got enough force to hit the back of the arena.
You can hear Quincy Jones's input slinking away in the background but this is still a giddy insight into Jacko's quirks and idiosyncratic technical mastery. Hear him work those hiccups into some kind of beatboxing frenzy all by themselves.
Kurt Cobain's pain and disease explodes into a paint-stripping vocal that laughs in the face of throat lozenges. We knew 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was as much about his howl as his moshpit-flooding riff or Dave Grohl's battering drums, but here's the proof.
Well, it's just great to hear Thom Yorke's isolated, alienated vocal all alienated and isolated. It's what he would've wanted.
Like Jacko (and not often you'll hear that), Mick Jagger is a singer all about his own tics and rooster spasms, and it's absorbing to hear him stretch his St Vitus' Dance over the dark soul-blues of 'Gimme Shelter', holding his own against his gospel-tinged co-vocalists. Top of his game.

I have a hosting account with namecheap where I can host multiple domains. I installed WP on one addon domain (www.besteugenedayspa.com), and it works fine.
I installed on a 2nd addon domain (www.besteugenerestaurant.com), and it works during setup, then after I log out and come back, the site is down. (404 site not found)
This has happened twice (I uninstalled/reinstalled after the first time).
I was wondering if there is something special I need to do in this case to get WP working on multiple domains.

I had truly not planned on defaulting on my latest two works, and I am not. I have been so busy after my mother passed, I have not had the time needed to devote to the projects I was working on before... So I will be refunding the total price of said projects. It won't be all at once, but it will be done. I would rather finish what I started, but that is not likely to happen anytime this year. I am bouncing around between my dad's house and cousin's house when I am working, I haven't even set up my computer in two weeks. So instead of making promises I want to keep but cant, I will have to face reality and do what I do not want to. I would rather do this than lose the few friends I have left. Once again my apologies, and maybe sometime in the future before I die I will be able to finish, or work with or for my friends again.

The Marceline Lady Tigers have played two games in the last two days, that's a lot of softball for anyone. Monday night, Marceline lost a road game, but rebounded and showed the heart of a champion last night in a thrilling contest at Lion's Field.
Last night, the team returned home for a Lewis and Clark Conference showdown with rival Salisbury. The Lady Panthers sent four to the plate in the top of the first, but thanks to a quick Fielder's Choice to snag a runner at home, and one strikeout for pitcher Morgan McCormick, no damage was done. Morgan started things off with an infield single, and Abby Gauthier followed suit. Brooks bunted her way on base, to load the pads for Marceline. But a rundown on that same play left only two on for the Lady Tigers. Those two would end the frame stranded. After one inning, the game was tied 0-0.
Salisbury sent four to the plate again in the top of the second, with no runs scoring, and Morgan earning another strikeout. Marceline was retired in order in the bottom of the inning. After two innings, the game was scoreless.
Salisbury went down in order to start the third frame. Shoop walked to start the home half of the inning, as did Morgan. With two outs, Madison singled to load the bases. Peiffer reached on an error, earning an dRBI and re-loading the bases. Dorrell walked to earn an RBI and keep the pads full. But, the inning would end with them full as well, stranding three. After three innings, the Lady Tigers led 2-0.
Salisbury scored one run in six at-bats in the top of the fourth. Morgan earned two strikeouts in the frame as well. Marceline was retired in order to end the inning. After four innings, the Lady Tigers led 2-1.
Salisbury exploded for three runs in the top of the fifth, sending seven to the plate. An inning-ending double play at first and second halted the onslaught. Marceline was again retired in order to end the inning. After five innings, the Lady Tigers now trailed 4-2.

More or less your standard-issue Euro-am production, XXX Teen Amateurs does offer a lineup of very cute chicks, but the action is mostly pretty tepid. It gets slightly less so in the last scene, with brunette Gabi, who does a pretty serviceable spoon and mish on a sofa. However, the elevator music playing throughout that scene and the rest of the title does little to increase the heat.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Is Lit
It's a very pretty tree.
With a flip of the switch by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the 74-foot Norway spruce from Pennsylvania was lit tonight at Rockefeller Center. As is customary, massive amounts of tourists and sentimental types gathered around to enjoy the lighting and performances by Justin Bieber, Michael Buble, and others. At 11 p.m, gridlock finally subsided after President Obama, in town for three fund-raisers, made his way out of the city via Randall's Island Landing Zone, according to Gridlock Sam. The tree and its 30,000 lights stretching fives miles will be at Rockefeller Center generating congestion until January 7. 'Tis the season to avoid midtown.

Using Windows Explorer to access Remote servers is horridly slow. It must be making a million hops, particularly when multiple files are simultaneously selected.
I sometimes resort to the command line but that's only because the performance sucks in teh GUI.
Is there a GUI that is better performing\wiser about limiting hops? I'm assuming that that is the main culprit beside the general network config.
I'm not looking for more bells and whistles. I'm looking for meat and potatos delivered faster.

Extracting JPGs from PDFs
Thursday 6 December 2007
I was trying to diagnose a problem with a PDF file we generated yesterday, and suspected that the images were corrupted. To see, I wrote this quick script to extract JPGs from PDF files. It is quick and dirty, with the absolute minimum understanding of PDF files, which can be quite opaque.
This script works for my PDF files. Maybe it doesn't work for all, I don't know. PDF files are complex beasts. Your mileage may vary.
What I'd really like is a tool for exploring inside PDF files, so that I could see exactly what's going on in there. pyPdf is a start, but only scratches the surface of the kind of stuff I'd like to see...

- Uruguay - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
One of the smallest countries in South America, Uruguay, lies between Latin America's two largest republics-Brazil, to the north and northeast, and Argentina, to the west and south. The Atlantic Ocean on the east and the estuary of the Rio de la Plata on the south create a maritime influence that somewhat modifies climatic extremes. They also give Uruguay immediate access to international trade. Roughly triangular in shape, Uruguay stretches less than 350 miles (560 kilometers) from north to south and about 300 miles (480 kilometers) from west to east. Montevideo, on the southern coast, is the nation's capital and largest city. Area 68,679 square miles 177,879 (square kilometers). Population (2015 est.) 3,617,000.

I have an Asus vivobook with Windows 8 preinstalled and tried dual boot with ubuntu. I'm new to linux and this was my first install.
