I am creating a website for products. I am wondering: is it better to use a single dynamic page using PHP, or generate an HTML page for every product, updating the pages from a php template file in a cron job? Most of the material on the page (eg. basic product information) will not change over time , but other parts of the page will be generated from database lookups (inventory, reviews, etc.)
I have heard some people arguing that it is better to have static url's (eg. category/product1.html) instead of dynamic ones (eg. products.php?id=1234) for SEO purposes. The problem I found with the former method is that it seems inconvenient to do database lookups from an HTML page. The way I implemented it was using javascript->php:

But then in the PHP file, you have to print javascript-formatted text:
echo "document.write(\"" . $field . " : " . $row[$i] . "
 \")";
This kind of DB lookup seems sloppy to me. Any suggestions?

SOURCE: Kleinberg, Seymour. "The Merchant of Venice: The Homosexual as Anti-Semite in Nascent Capitalism." In Literary Visions of Homosexuality, edited by Stuart Kellogg, pp. 113-26. New York: Haworth Press, 1983.
In the following essay, Kleinberg claims that The Merchant of Venice dramatizes "the triumph of heterosexual marriage" over homoeroticism, the latter represented by Antonio and his love for Bassanio.
When I first read The Merchant of Venice, I was dismayed by the anti-Semitism and the materialism of the Venetian world. The play held no charm for me, and I decided that it was simply not very available for someone like myself. Twenty years later, in 1978, after a summer as an NEH fellow at Berkeley, researching the subject of sodomy in the Renaissance, I reread the play. I still found it to be about anti-Semitism under mercantile capitalism, but now just as...

The company I work for creates online courses for operation and maintenance of various equipment. Currently, we write the courses in Word. We have an XML schema that is applied to the document. The XML schema allows us to tag pages, questions (multi-choice, multi-answer), flash content, etc. We have a translator program created for us that takes the information from the Word XML file and converts it to a web site.
My problem is, new versions of Microsoft Word do not allow you to put in XML tags from a schema. I want to stay using Word or other Word Processors because it is quick and easy to use for the writers. I have been looking at various programs such as LibreOffice and different options in Word. What can I do to take content from these programs and author it on the web and still be able to have things like test questions or Flash content?

The University of Nottingham ACCESS Centre (UNAC) was established in 2001 and is based within the Portland Building Student Services Centre at the University of Nottingham. UNAC is a recognised assessment centre registered with and accredited through DSA-QAG (Disabled Students' Allowances Quality Assurance Group). UNAC is also a member of NNAC (National Network of Assessment Centres). We have a team of specialist assessors and offer DSA Assessment of Needs to disabled students, including those with Specific Learning Difficulties (such as dyslexia or dyspraxia), physical or sensory impairments, mental health issues or long-term medical conditions. Assessors work in collaboration with students, University/College support services, funding bodies and equipment and support providers in order to establish a range of appropriate and detailed support recommendations which form the basis of the Assessment of Needs Report. Assessments are provided to those studying in and around Nottingham and the East Midlands, as well as to students from the region who are studying elsewhere within the UK. You do not have to be a University of Nottingham student to access this service.
Our assessment fee is £550, which your funding body covers via your DSA. This covers both your initial assessment and review or updates to your DSA that you may need throughout your studies. We can also review your needs if you move on to further courses of study. However, if you present with an additional diagnosis; move on to PGCE or postgraduate research; have a break of 2 years or more in your studies or if it is more than 5 years since your last DSA assessment, you will be eligible for a funded review of your needs which we can carry out. All reviews must be authorised in writing by the funding body.
We aim to carry out your Needs Assessment within 15 working days of your initial request for an Assessment.
If you contact us by email requesting an appointment, please include your contact telephone number(s) and the nature of your disability/learning difficulty so we can match you to an appropriate Assessor. It would be helpful if you had the copy of your Funding Body letter agreeing to the Assessment to hand when you call us.
ACCESS Centre personnel will be available to book appointments and answer student calls and queries Monday - Friday 9.30am - 5.00pm although you can phone us between 9.00am and 5.00pm

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Granvia Barcelona
Great location, room in need of renovation
Stayed in late November 2003. The location is excellent - convenient to the "Barri Gotic", Rambla, good restaurants and shopping. The mezzanine level boasts an elegant salon (with large TV and computer with always-on internet access), and a lovely, spacious terrace complete with tables, chairs and fountain. Our third-floor room, however, did not live up to the public rooms. Although it had ample closet space, and was okay size-wise, the furniture was tacky and fraying, and we gave up on trying to make the TV work. Also, standard doubles are twin-bedded - not to the liking of this couple.
Below my expectation.
I went there early November. We are recommended by traveller's magazine. Gran Via is nominated as one of the value for money hotels.
Surely the location is amazing. You are easily accessible to the shopping district and a number of Guadi's monument. That's the very reason why you go to Barcelona. However, the hotel itself is pretty old. Not to mention the exterior, the elevator and the hotel lobby, the room itself gives you a very old impression. There is strong chlorine smell from the towels in the bathroom.
Wonderful and next to Plaza Catalunya
We spent 5 days at the Granvia in May, 2003. It was great. The place is pretty, the rooms are comfortable,old fashioned Iit used to be a mansion)and immaculate. The staff was great - we loved and will come back.
Great Value & Location
My wife and I stayed at Gran Via for 2 nights in Sept 2004 before our cruise. Took the train to Placa da Catalunya from the airport( 5 euros for the 2 of us), 5 min walk to the hotel. 110 euros and well worth it. Breakfast buffet was convenient and adequate. The place is a mansion of the past and has character that a new hotel cannot match. Very close to the Ramblas, skip the Ramblas and go 2 blocks north on the Passeig de Gracia. It has upscale shops,dining, and outdoor entertainment that you will not want to leave. We went to our hotel at 1:00 AM and hated to leave because the place is so beautiful and extremely safe.
Gran Via Hotel, Barcelona
Myself and 3 friends stayed at the Gran Via Hotel in Barcelona in a quad room - it was very clean, and so convenient for the city centre. Would rate it very highly, particularly as it worked out at about Euro 40 per night each. This is not a luxurious hotel, but very adequate. Book at room at the back of the hotel (quieter), if possible with a balcony or terrace.
Nice hotel
Nice hotel. Was located in a nice area, close to major interest points. Plenty of shops and eating options were close by. Hotel breakfast was a little over priced. Internet availability was also nice.
Great value with charm!
We stayed in Oct 2002 for approx $100 per night for a spacious suite (large entry hallway in the room, living room, bedroom, and large bathroom); it is a little faded but in a very charming way. The common areas are gorgeous. The location is great, since it is very close the La Rambla but without all of the noise. Very nice staff.
Good hotel
Well placed near Placa da Catalunya, the Gran Via has a certain 'faded glory' charm. A double room cost 66 Euros/night (early December) which was good value for a clean, sufficiently spacious room with a decent bathroom.
The breakfast was only adequate, but there are plenty of local alternatives.
The staff were friendly enough and the first floor lounge, which was being used for a fashion photo shoot during my stay, is a thing of extraordinary antique splendour!
Great place to stay
Very nice staff. Large,clean rooms, with recently refurbished baths. Wonderful common areas, large gorgeous patio and large beautifully furnished sitting room. One euro an hour good internet connection in the sitting room. Great location- close to old and new areas of the city.

So basically, my problem is that I have a speech signal in .wav format that is corrupted by a harmonic noise source at some frequency. My goal is to identify the frequency at which this noise occurs, and use a notch filter to remove said noise. So far, I have read the speech signal into matlab using:
[data, Fs] = wavread('signal.wav');
My question is how can I identify the frequency at which the harmonic noise is occurring, and once I've done that, how can I go about implementing a notch filter at that frequency?
NOTE: I do not have access to the iirnotch() command or fdesign.notch() due to the version of MATLAB I am currently using (2010).

I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on the pros and cons of Philadelphia's RCO program.
My focus is on the increasing number of public-private partnerships in developments in large cities. Where developers either develop on city-owned land or look to build greater than the existing density (or are looking for some other large change on a given plot requiring an exception) and the community gets something in return for the exception being granted. I should note that I'm approaching this from the perspective of being in New York where market-rate rental-rolls handily cover the construction costs (which are, albeit, exorbitant). Often the price of an exception on a larger development is 'affordable housing' or a park/public space on the plot. The registration of Community Organizations looks like a way to formalize the the community engagement side of this process, either when a Request For Proposals goes out (in the case of development on city land) and/or in a Community Based Agreement.
Have other cities done this?
Any thoughts on CBAs?

NYPD Deputy Courts De Blasio in Puerto Rico
Deputy Commissioner Rafael Pineiro is the highest-ranking Latino in the department.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Rafael Pineiro apparently met "secretly" with Bill de Blasio in Puerto Rico, where the mayor-elect attended a conference, then took a brief post-election vacation. Pineiro is the highest-ranking Latino member of the department, and as the New York Post noted, the NYPD Hispanic Society had been urging de Blasio to hire him to replace Ray Kelly. De Blasio's people wouldn't comment, but he's got to make a decision on a new commissioner soon, so it's hard to believe the meeting was a simple friendly chat.

Police are searching for three suspects behind an armed robbery at a local park.
Springs police say the victim, a teenager, was on his way to visit his mother Thursday evening when he stopped at the Prairie Grass Park on Chapman, near Airport and Murray. While sitting in the park, he was approached by three men. One man pulled out a handgun and hit the victim over the head. The men forced the teen to strip down, then robbed him.
The teen's jeans, sweatshirt, cell phone and wallet were all taken in the robbery. He also sustained a contusion and cut to his head.
The armed suspect has been described as a black man, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, wearing a long black leather jacket and jeans. Police say he had a full beard at the time of the robbery.
A second suspect has been described as a black man, 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds, wearing a red baseball cap with a white design on it, red short sleeve shirt, and either blue or black pants.
Police do not have an available description of the third suspect, as the victim did not get a good look at him.
Anyone with information on the crime are asked to call police, or call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Victims of clergy sexual abuse have approved of a plan for the Gallup Diocese to dole out millions of dollars in compensation.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that an attorney for 57 abuse survivors told a federal judge Tuesday that all had signed off on the plan.

PHOENIX — As the mercury soared, records were falling.
A severe heat wave ushered in the first day of summer Monday in the broiling Southwest, where extreme temperatures were blamed for at least five deaths over the weekend.
Towns along the Arizona-California border were getting the brunt of the extreme temperatures on Monday.
In Palm Springs, the thermometer hit 121 degrees in the early afternoon. The temperature in Phoenix broke a record and hit 116 degrees.
A cool off was expected in the coming days.
The longtime girlfriend of San Miguel County Manager Les Montoya was transferred earlier this year to a newly created job making nearly $9,800 more than the job description calls for.

Kahn's not sure what future mornings at her Romeroville home will hold now that Johnsen, who joined the Las Vegas station 41 years ago, is retiring.
"This is kind of like a death in a way," a choked-up Kahn said Thursday. "Suddenly someone you're used to every day will be gone. It'll be sad without her."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Jose Lima pitched six solid innings and the Houston Astros hit three homers, including Jeff Bagwell's first of the season, in a 6-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.
Lima (1-1), who retired the first nine batters of the game, allowed three runs on six hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Scott Elarton worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh and also pitched the eighth for Houston, striking out five. Billy Wagner pitched the ninth for his fourth save, getting Rich Aurilia on a fly ball to left with the bases loaded to end the game.
Bagwell homered over the left-field bleachers in the third, a two-run shot off Giants starter Shawn Estes (1-1).
Ken Caminiti and Richard Hidalgo hit back-to-back homers in the seventh off Miguel Del Toro to give the Astros a 6-3 lead after the Giants had pulled within a run on Barry Bonds' solo homer in the sixth.
Caminiti also had a run-scoring groundout in the first and Derek Bell had an RBI double in the fourth for Houston.
Bonds, who had an RBI single in the fourth, hit his fourth homer of the season over the center-field fence in the sixth. Charlie Hayes hit his second homer, a solo shot, in the fifth.
Bonds' homer was the 415th of his career, moving into a sole possession of 25th place on the career list. He had tied Darrell Evans at 414 with a ninth-inning homer in Tuesday night's loss to Houston.
Estes allowed four runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking three. He has walked 10 batters in 9 1/3 innings in his two starts this season. Notes: Carl Everett, who had two singles for Houston, tied his career high by hitting in his eighth straight game. ... Bagwell needs one homer to tie the franchise record of 223 held by Jimmy Wynn. ... The Giants began the night leading the NL in hitting, but with the worst ERA in the league. ... Houston has hit back-to-back homers twice this season. ... The Astros have won three straight. ... The Giants have lost seven straight games to the Astros. ... Craig Biggio, who came into the game hitting .192 for Houston, went 3-for-4 with a walk. ... Jeff Kent struck out swinging in all four of his plate appearance for the giants.

The Riverfront Park is a wonderful place for children as well as adults. There are fountains for children to splash in, there are paved walking paths along the river, and the Turtle Grove Play Park is very nice. The Ray Charles statue is just amazing too.
So if you are heading to the park from the Riverquarium, you won't have far to walk. Just pass the fountains.....then you'll pass a few black lightpoles. At the fourth lightpole, look to your left. There is a turtle there. He is not up on two feet like most of the other decorative turtles - he's down on all four feet. There is a small box just under his tail. This may not be the very best place because there is a lot of traffic in the area......but it's easy to get to him at least!

Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waitsby Barney Hoskyns
View All Available Formats & Editions
With his trademark growl, carnival-madman persona, haunting music, and unforgettable lyrics, Tom Waits is one of the most revered and critically acclaimed singer-songwriters alive today. After beginning his career on the margins of the 1970s Los Angeles rock scene, Waits has spent the last thirty years carving out a place for himself among such greats as Bob Dylan
With his trademark growl, carnival-madman persona, haunting music, and unforgettable lyrics, Tom Waits is one of the most revered and critically acclaimed singer-songwriters alive today. After beginning his career on the margins of the 1970s Los Angeles rock scene, Waits has spent the last thirty years carving out a place for himself among such greats as Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Like them, he is a chameleonic survivor who has achieved long-term success while retaining cult credibility and outsider mystique. But although his songs can seem deeply personal and somewhat autobiographical, fans still know very little about the man himself. Notoriously private, Waits has consistently and deliberately blurred the line between fact and fiction, public and private personas, until it has become impossible to delineate between truth and self-fabricated legend.
Lowside of the Road is the first serious biography to cut through the myths and make sense of the life and career of this beloved icon. Barney Hoskyns has gained unprecedented access to Waits's inner circle and also draws on interviews he has done with Waits over the years. Spanning his extraordinary forty-year career from Closing Time to Orphans, from his perilous "jazzbo" years in 1970s LA to such shape-shifting albums as Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs to the Grammy Award winners of recent years, this definitive biography charts Waits's life and art step by step, album by album.
Barney Hoskyns has written a rock biography—much like the subject himself—unlike any other. It is a unique take on one of rock's great enigmas.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
When a celebrity not only refuses to cooperate with a would-be biographer but persuades most of his inner circle not to grant interviews either, the writer's task is much more daunting. In trying to account for the 40-year career of eccentric singer/songwriter (and occasional film actor) Tom Waits, Hoskyns (Hotel California) puts his subject's reluctance front and center, openly speculating on the rumors that Waits's wife has engineered his withdrawal from his early associates. The armchair psychology extends to Waits's idiosyncratic public persona, but is buttressed with interviews with as many people as Hoskyns could get to talk, a few conversations he had with Waits for magazine pieces and excerpts from other articles over the years. For the most part, Waits's musical transformation from hip troubadour to far-out maverick is well contextualized, but when Hoskyns's resources are stretched thin in this overlong book, his pronouncements become less compelling. Readers may not particularly care what the biographer thinks of Waits's last album, for example, nor need a complete set list from a random concert. Despite these problems, however, Hoskyns deserves credit for trying to give Waits the critical scrutiny his work deserves. (Apr. 14)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Tom Waits has had a singular music career spanning over 40 years and encompassing a bewildering array of musical styles. Once known as 1970s beatnik style, his music has since moved into experimental percussion, free-form howling, bizarre dark stories, and obscure, old-fashioned instrumentation. British journalist Hoskyns (Hotel California) takes us from the formative 1960s all the way up to a short description of Waits's most recent concert tour in the summer of 2008. From the mid-1980s forward, Waits has made concerted efforts to maintain his privacy, so a lot of the details of recordings and tours since that time period will be new to many readers. Of particular interest are the recording details of his groundbreaking albums Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, and Frank's Wild Years and descriptions of his work with Robert Wilson on The Black Rider stage presentation. Patrick Humphries's previous biographies (Small Change; Many Lives of Tom Wait) and Jay S. Jacobs's Wild Years cover much of the same ground, but unless and until Waits works with an official biographer, Hoskyns's superlative overview of one of America's major (though idiosyncratic) popular artists will likely stand as the best book on his life.

Hoskyn's superlative overview of one of America's major (though idiosyncratic) popular artists will likely stand as the best book on his life"Library Journal (starred review)
"Hoskyns persevered in writing the first Waits biography, netting fascination firsthand stories, terrific photographs, and fanatically detailed information about studio sessions and concerts...the result is a respectful, entertaining, and revelatory portrait set within a vivid cultural context."Booklist
"It's about time [Waits] received biographical homage from a rock writer of the stature of Hoskyns."Stephen Poole, The Guardian
"Comprehensive and judicious. [Waits] could not have found a more respectful, sympathetic and knowledgeable biographer if he'd chosen him himself."Mick Brown, The Word
"Thanks to his diligence. His Californian connections and some magazine interviews he conducted long ago with Waits, Hoskyn's life comes across as convincingly lifelike."Robert Sandall, The Sunday Times

No Matter Who Wins, Iraq Falls Apart
WASHINGTON, D.C.Whoever wins, Thursday's parliamentary elections in Iraq will usher in an era of great change there, moving the country away from centralized government toward regionalism and probable dissolution.
That movement is already well under way. The Kurdish region, disregarding the central government in Baghdad, already has struck its own deal with a Norwegian oil company. The interim government blusters, but there is nothing in the new constitution to make the Kurds share their oil revenues with Baghdad. Moreover, Kurdish control over Kirkuk, the oil rich city, appears to be likely.
Shortly after the election, the countrys vast oil resources are to be parceled out to the different regions, which will control them independent of any central government. That means economic power will spread to the Kurds in the north and the Shia in the southboth groups sitting astride big oil fields. Once regionalized, the oil resources will be privatized through joint production agreements, with the different regions cutting their separate deals with big oil companies. The federal government will be left out in the cold.
Created more or less in imitation of Western democracy, this Iraqi election, like our own, will deny any real voice for the poor. Because campaigning is so dangerousvarious candidates already have been killedthe politicking is by TV. The rich are the only people with money to wage TV advertising campaigns. How can this even pretend to be a Western-style democracy if the state cant protect the voters when they go to the polls? In Iraq, people go to the ballot box with the real possibility they will be killed on the way home.

One hope is that the security lockdown, including a ban on vehicular traffic, will put off car bombings.
President Bushs efforts to boost the Iraqis into providing their own security system is resulting not in beefed-up policing but in a lessening U.S. influence and a widening impact for radical and ethnic militias, reports Bloomberg. Religious radicals attack the whole system as satanic and push ahead with their jihad.
Everyone is beginning to realize the U.S. is on the way out, one way or another. According to an ABC/Time survey, 52 percent of those asked think things are going badly in Iraq and 60 percent saying there has been no improvement since Saddams fall. Half of those polled think we should not have gone in and two thirds are against the presence of coalition troops.
Almost everyone90 percent of those polledthinks Iraq needs its own kind of democracy. And 91 percent think the country needs a strong single leaderprecisely the opposite direction from the one we are pushing the Iraqis toward. "The problem with an item like this is that we don't know what they mean by 'democracy," " writes Juan Cole, of the University of Michigan. "Over 80% of Egyptians said in one poll that democracy is the best form of government, and then 64% of them turned around and said they were satisfied with the Mubarak regime (a soft military dictatorship). So Egyptians didn't mean by "democracy" what Americans would have.
Cole concludes diplomatically: "Actually, for most Middle Easterners, 'democracy' implies self-determination. By that measure, Iraq is not very democratic at the moment."

"'Moronic Bloggers' Is Redundant," Says CNBC Hostess
The network fires another missile at the rock-throwing blogosphere.
CNBC's Charlies Gasparino doesn't ordinarily have the time to listen to people who don't matter on Wall Street. But this one website, Zero Hedge, sticks in his craw. Every time he says something vaguely charitable about Goldman Sachs, see, this blogger there writes about him like he's on the take from the company. Like he, Chas, is colluding with them. Never mind that roughly 90 to 100 percent of what Zero Hedge writes about is someone or other conspiring with Goldman Sachs, Gasparino felt he needed to set the record straight by administering a good, old-fashioned, Brooklyn-style smack down: "I get these moronic bloggers writing about me ... especially this one idiot at Zero Intelligence," he says. As compared to Dennis Kneale's recent rants about the same blog, it was pretty tame. But then Gasparino's ace cohort, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, stepped in and upped the ante. "'Moronic bloggers' is redundant," she chirped, apparently forgetting that a number of her former colleagues at the Times are currently employed as such or that Gasparino himself has been known to dabble in Internet name-calling, not to mention the oft-cited lesson, "Picking on kids smaller than you only to makes you look like a bully and/or insecure." Then she added for good measure: "He's probably not as handsome as you, either." Oh, Michelle. As we used to say in middle school, which is where this kind of behavior belongs, "That's mature."

Still Counting
The October online posting by WikiLeaks of nearly a thousand classified Pentagon documents (the "Iraq War Logs") shed new light on the vexed issue of Iraqi deaths during and after the 2003 invasion. According to articles in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and elsewhere, the Bush administration, despite its claims to the contrary, did in fact keep a running count of Iraqi fatalities, entering 66,081 civilian deaths into the Iraq War Logs between January 2004 and December 2009 (out of a total of 109,032 recorded violent Iraqi deaths).
Yet the war logs yield no clear evidence that the U.S. government made any systematic effort to record all Iraqi deaths. Reports of Iraqi fatalities seem to have entered almost inadvertently into the Pentagon's files as part of the daily bureaucratic grind of the occupation. General Tommy Franks's now infamous declaration, "We don't do body counts," remains true, by every indication, as far as U.S. war policy is concerned.
This means that those 66,081 civilian deaths entered into the war logs likely represent a great undercounting of actual deaths. There are several reasons why. First of all, a large number of killings would have occurred in the nine months of the invasion prior to January 2004, when the war logs paper trail begins. Many deaths, moreover, would have occurred in sectarian violence in remote or uncontrolled parts of the country beyond the view of...

Director: David Luger
Company: Platinum X Pictures
Cast: Dave Hardman, Tee Reel, John Strong, Veronica Stone, Teena Fine, Mary Anne (I), Nikki Nievez, Kara Mynor
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
If ever an adult performer looked the part of a cheerleader it's Kara Mynor. This incredibly cute, freckle-faced strawberry blonde claims (at eighteen) to still be attending high school. Whether or not that assertion is true has no bearing on the fact that she looks sixteen and will stiffen thousands of middle-aged love logs from coast to coast. Stiff-nippled and horny, Kara receives a Strong nookie-plowing and earns her GED (Gynocological Education Development).
Other scenes try hard to be just as appealing. They make decent headway in the sluttiness department. Not quite the rapacious hellions we'd like them to be? but completely serviceable (especially Nikki, who bends over backwards for the patented Hardman anal piledriver).

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio's veteran state geologist has been demoted for failing to adequately vet work with his politically appointed boss, including a new map of the Utica shale formation rich with oil and gas.
A spokesman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said Larry Wickstrom lost his position leading the Ohio Division of Geological Survey on May 9. He remains a department employee.
A copy of Wickstrom's quarterly review released by the department today says Wickstrom failed to meet repeated requests by ODNR Director James Zehringer to notify and involve the director's office on "matters that would set or significantly impact state policy."
Wickstrom's demotion and the contents of his review were first reported by The Athens News.
A message was left with Wickstrom seeking comment. His record was previously unblemished.
It is just so typical for a geologist to be whacked for overlooking political policy implications. Those I know (I know many well and I am one kind of) expect policy and discourse to be fact-based. Larry would look at that memo and say - "Here's the data as I interpret them, deal with it." Or maybe he was just tired of it all.

|Reviews for For Without Hope We Are Lost
| AOM chapter 8 . 6/7/2007
I loved this story and was very sad to see that it was last updated in 2003.
It was only when you posted the link to Jello Anarchy on your profile that I realized you completed this story years ago! I just want to say that was a beautiful ending and you are totally evil with cliffhangers.
Lastly, you really should put a note in your bio about the state of completion of some of your stories. *runs off to read the other 'completed' series*
| JediMacLaren chapter 1 . 5/17/2006
This is a very compelling story. The only problem I find with it is the sad fact it's not finished. When can we expect it to bridge Episode 3 and 4 by getting Obi-Wan back to Tatooine? And what will happen to Emeute? Great story. Thanks.
| JC-Puzzler chapter 8 . 2/17/2005
HEY! You can't just end it here! Are you going to do an update anytime soon? *looks back over story* Oh, right. You haven't updated since... *looks again, blinks* MAY OF 2003? *takes deep breath* *mutters* Okay, I can do this...I can handle the fact that there's been no updates in the last (almost) two years...I can do this... *looks up, hearing snickering, is indignant* Well, at least -I- update more frequently than that... *mutters again* Okay, so maybe I made sure that my story had an ending first, but...
Anyways, great story... Sad, especially considering the time frame and everything poor Obi's having to deal with, but from my understanding of SW, you're doing a good job...
Also, I enjoyed reading your 'Book of Paths' series... My question about it is, what happens (happened) to Bali? (You can't just leave it hanging! -Oh, right...You're the author... I guess you -can-.) In the OT, Obi-Wan went to keep an eye on young Luke... Does Bali end up dying? Turning? *shudders at thought* *shrugs* Oh, well. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if you do any updates...
*sits back and waits, semi-patiently* ;)
| MeShelly chapter 3 . 6/20/2003
::blinks:: Can it be? The bounty hunter Ruan has a heart? (And apparently a very large cashbox...)
I love how you color everything in shades of gray. Nothing is clear-cut: in fact, nothing is clear. If you do not plan on becoming a published writer, the world will lose a potential wonder. Your ability to transmit emotions and realism into words is *amazing*. I could almost cry for Obi...but it's more like a desperate despair feeling. He's too tired for tears.
Onto Chapter 4...(ugh! I can't believe I missed so many updates!) ~Michelle
| mvdiva chapter 8 . 6/7/2003
Another highly involving story. Very enjoyable to read. Obi-Wan stays true to form, and other characters create a rich background for the time of the Jedi Purge.
| slytherinsela chapter 7 . 5/29/2003
oh, dear...
| slytherinsela chapter 6 . 5/27/2003
very, very cool. i really enjoy your work- keep it up!
| Leela74 chapter 6 . 4/19/2003
Fantastic! Keep it up!
| ewan's girl chapter 6 . 4/11/2003
very interesting story... it is so refreshing to read a story that doesn't have to do with some kind of romance or silly teeny bopper themes...I am really interested in this story...keep it going...
| Leela74 chapter 5 . 4/5/2003
I've glad you've finally updated this. Very intimidating. Hope you update soon!
| Starkiller chapter 5 . 4/4/2003
This is fantastic! You're a very talented author (not to mention artist! Luv your website ) Hope to see more of this soon! It's going in my favs for sure _
| froggy chapter 3 . 4/3/2003
Hiya Red,
I hadn't even known this existed! Obi on the run. So interesting. thanks
| christianjames chapter 2 . 1/4/2003
he can't be dead, can he? Please, please, please continue this, the tension is killing me. Oh yeah, i almost forgot to say- you're a brilliant writer!
| MeShelly chapter 2 . 8/26/2002
AHA! Ruan's been outsmarted-that dead man isn't be Obi-Wan, is he? Looks like Ruan won't be getting his fame this way, but I do wonder where Obi-Wan is headed. PLEASE continue this? Please? ~Michelle
| MeShelly chapter 1 . 8/25/2002
What a dreary reality! It seems fairly obvious that Palpatine is a tyrant(reminds me of Hitler; especially how he glorifies himself) but why does no one fight him? Well, yeah, they end up dead, but everyone fought... Anyway, I love your writing style! So much sensory detail and emotion all wrapping around a mysterious plot. Must read next chapter now! ~Michelle

Part Two
As explained previously, I am converting the 1e Dungeon Magazine Adventure Lady of the Lake for 4e. I made several modifications to the adventure to make it more playable as a 4e (and, quite frankly, an overall better) adventure.
My first decision was to make the adventure a 1st level adventure as it was originally intended for. Naturally it can be scaled up for more powerful parties. There are no high level monsters in the adventure as originally written
Well, i've technically written a lot of play scenarios but not all of them as organized as this one. I just finished this one and since my players don't have accounts here i can post here for comments and reviews. I'm sure its still got spelling errors and grammar... but i'm not too worried. One of my own players who GM's for another group is running this as a play test. I tend to write sparsely and fill in as i go, so this is more verbose than normal. I run plot heavy, but this is pretty short;
So for the hell of it, I began looking into some old Dungeon Magazine adventures for possible adventures to run in the future. One poster I remember recalled that this material is great to use when you play with younger gamers (ones not around for 1e and 2e) and who never seen or played the adventure. With Dungeon Magazine, it was usually a hit or miss in some of these adventures (at least until Pazio took over-even then...).
My first delve into this assignment was in Issue #1 of
Yes, its summer and its definitely more difficult to get groups together to game. Why? Because its summer dammit! Of course it is, and rightfully so. Even hardcore gamers appreciate the better weather to a certain degree. What that means for me is generally gaming sessions go down, but i get a chance to write more. I dont have to stay on top of the campaign, so i get to catch up on writing more adventure notes, updating the world and rule sets, and just play with ideas in general.
For almost all of my gaming Ive played in the Forgotten Realms setting. The few times I was out of there it was in a custom world, which was thematically the same as Forgotten Realms. After 15 years of Forgotten Realms its starting to get to be about time to see something new. As luck would have it, D&D has had dozens of settings in the past, so theres plenty of options out there to choose from. Now the real trouble is picking one to play in.

Small Group Provence and Lavender Museum Day Trip from Avignon
Spend a full day immersed in the lavender fields and picturesque villages of Provence on this day trip from Avignon. Drive through purple fields of fragrant lavender in full summer bloom, and stop in Sault or Roussillon to browse the lavender shops and wander a traditional Provençal market. Visit the stunning Luberon village of Gordes and end with a visit to the Lavender Museum in Coustellet.
Enjoy personalized attention from your expert guide on this small-group tour, limited to eight people.
You'll be picked up from your Avignon hotel in the morning for your full-day tour. Traveling by 8-passenger minivan, enjoy scenic views as you drive through Provence's lavender fields in full summer bloom — a truly beautiful sight!
Stop in the village of Sault or Roussillon — depending on which is most in bloom — for free time to wander town by foot. Browse lavender shops selling exquisite essential oils, soaps and honey, and visit a traditional open-air market selling a shimmering palette of fruit, vegetables and flowers. You'll also have time for lunch (own expense).
Continue driving along Provence's picturesque country roads across wild lavender fields and past small villages including St Jean and Lioux. Stop to visit the dry stone village of Gordes, often considered one of the most beautiful villages in France.
After a photo stop at Senanque Abbey, a Cistercian monument surrounded by a wonderful lavender field (depending on the blooming season this might be replaced by a longer stay at the museum), it's on to the famous Lavender Museum in Coustellet.
Discover the wonders of lavender from the informative video, exhibition and distillation demonstration, revealing how these wonderful flowers are transformed into oils, fragrances and beauty products. You'll have a chance at the end to purchase some of your own.
Then, relax on the drive back to Avignon, arriving in the evening.
Please note: This tour is seasonal and runs from June to August only. The photo stop at Senanque Abbey is only included from June 15 to July 15. Outside of this time, the tour will include more time in Gordes.

We run a controlled Windows 7 environment and have several applications that are digitally signed by the publisher that run under user context fine. However, even now we still get vendors large and small providing us with non signed exe which we have to create "hash rules" in AppLocker that need updating every time the software is updating.
In some cases we get an application from a vendor that has a mixture of both signed and unsigned executables. This infuriates me!
I was just wondering, why would these companies not simply sign all their software? Is it just sloppy development or is there a genuine reason such as a cost per exe signed?

There are only two, maybe three, issues in politics today on which we can all
agree. The Federal unconstitutional overreach of surveillance in the name of
national security is one of them.
This is a legitimate test of whether the three branches work for the people or for special interests. If we can't get rid of these practices then we can surely state we do not live in a democratic republic.

I believe that the people who seek to limit government's ability to govern
are criminals wanting to freedom to commit crimes.
If these people were truly concerned about the privacy of individuals they would say something about the collection and distribution of personal information by private entities. But they are absolutely silent regards private entities.
If the collection of information about people is a crime when committed by our government, why shouldn't it be a crime when private entities do it? Is it simply the problem of government doing something that private enterprise could do for a profit?
I believe that when you broadcast your personal information to the world in any media, you have not right to think that you have privacy. If this were applied to automobiles, we could have windows that prevent people from seeing in and covers for the license plates.

Stalwart Sentinel: the notion of a "democratic republic" is a fading myth in the U.S. It's way past time that Americans accept the reality that the majority has little say in what happens on a national basis. Voting and electoral campaigns have no more purpose than to distract and entertain. Surveillance will continue to become more pervasive because that's what the ruling elite wants.

If you want privacy, don't live in a society of people. The success of a
civilized society is dependant on its members living by a set of rules. It is
the adherence to the rules of society is what secures all rights and freedoms
and make living in a society with a government worthwhile. If you are unwilling
to give up the privacy needed by our government, don't live here.
The only way a government can enforce a set of rules is to invade the privacy of individuals. Government enforcement on the word of snitches and people like Mrs. Cravats, would not give us the results we want. The thing is, as we have more people and technological advancements the job of government becomes more complicated and it needs to keep up with the times.
Insisting that our government abide by rules thought up 250 years ago, would be the same as if we limited speed cops to the riding of horses.

"The privacy of all Americans is fiercely protected in all our

innocent Americans." [1]

According to CNN - May 11, 2006 - Does this not constitute "trolling through
the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans."
The NSA's domestic program, as described by sources, is far more expansive than what the White House has acknowledged. Last year, Bush said he had authorized the NSA to eavesdrop — without warrants — on international calls and international e-mails of people suspected of having links to terrorists when one party to the communication is in the USA. Warrants have also not been used in the NSA's efforts to create a national call database.
In defending the previously disclosed program, Bush insisted that the NSA was focused exclusively on international calls. "In other words," Bush explained, "one end of the communication must be outside the United States."

There is a data base out there that has all personal correspondences in it. Tell me this can be used for good and not evil? If there is data to be taken it will be taken.
If I wanted you out of the picture, it would not be hard for me to present your personal information I obtained in a light that was totally unfavorable to you. It would not be hard at all. Which is why a database of all our personal information is too dangerous a temptation for individuals who crave power.
Delete the database, don't collect that kind of information, it will not and can not be used for good.

Having the ABILITY to do it doesn't give you permission. But the LAW
That's why I told people to be careful back when the Patriot Act was proposed during the Bush Administration, and when it was later expanded and extended by the Obama Administration.
Partisanship gains today become liabilities later. That's why you don't take the bait... Even IF your guy is in the White House NOW! In a few years I guarantee you he will NOT be in the White House, and you never know what another administration will do with the law you passed to target THEM...
Same with the "Nuclear-Option" Democrats passed recently while Republicans were in the minority (to prevent minority from being able to block some things).... Not such a cool law when in a few years YOU (meaning Democrats) are in the minority... Or the OTHER party is doing the spying...
That's the problem with passing legislation you hope will only impact the OTHER party or problems you have NOW... Someday YOU will be the minority... or the person the NSA is spying on, or the person/group IRS is targeting...

@Mister J,
In most cases, all that is needed is the POSSIBILITY that the person is armed... to stop some types of crime from happening.
A criminal won't take the risk of entering a home, or a school, or car... if he calculates that there's a good chance the person on the other side of that door is armed and able to stop him.
Same goes for civil defense. Everybody doesn't need to be armed. But the mere possibility that every citizens COULD be armed has stopped some military ambitions. Case in point, General Isoroku Yamamoto who said Japan could NEVER attack/occupy the US mainland, "because there would be a gun behind every blade of grass", or something like that.
It's the theory that even the fiercest serpent may be overcome by a swarm of ants. And it has worked (examples: VietNam Gorilla-warfare, insurgency that worked against the greatest military of our time in Iraq (even after their military had been completely defeated).
Same goes in a neighborhood, a house, a school, a mall, if the criminal suspects armed people will stop him cold... he won't even attempt.

The philosophy of "Those who give up Liberty for security deserve
neither" is a dumb philosophy, and especially dumb for an American, who
readily trades some liberties for the security of group protection.
For example, we give up the right to kill other people who offend us so that we can walk down the street unmolested. It's not a perfect trade and doesn't always work, but it works good enough for most us that we don't have to carry a gun for protection.
We have given up thousands of liberties for the more preferred liberties. And prior to Obama, I don't remember ever hearing about the patriot act. Somewhere along the line, I must have traded something for the liberty of not having to watch over every tiny detail of my government.
