Full-Time vs. Part-Time Enrollment
Information on the differences.
In many cases, you can start or return to school as either a full- or part-time student. If this is the first time you're attending college or you've been away from school for years, you may want to start with one course.
State and federal financial aid is available to part-time as well as full-time students. Child care assistance may also be available.
Job and family obligations may dictate how much time you can devote to school. Finding time to attend school and study, even on a part-time basis, may make a big change to your current routine. However, going to school full-time and entering the job market as quickly as possible may be worth the financial inconvenience of altering or quitting your current job. Decide what's best for you and plan accordingly.
Academic and financial aid counselors can help you explore your options. You can contact the financial aid or admissions office at any college near you.

Home sweet home:
Sometimes I find it hard to believe I came from there. (Bad pic, as I was really jet lagged).
Racial diversity has little to do with poverty. This is Appalachia. You didn't happen to catch the mean household income did ya? And by the way the test scores as compared to more affluent areas of the state ...you guessed it ....lower, and the kids are mostly white. Again you have made an excellent point.
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
I am hard pressed to understand what part of either the poster or the accompanying story represents an attack on Christianity. The poster says "Why believe in God. Be Good for Goodness Sake". I don't see that as an attack.[/QUOTE]
To me it is one of a hundred this time of year. it is a CHRISTmas poster...
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
http://www.slate.com/id/2178122/entry/2178123/Now bear in mind this is an article written in Slate which is hardly a bastion of conservative thinking.But if you choose to fight the evidence, here's what you're up against. Among white Americans, the average IQ, as of a decade or so ago, was 103. Among Asian-Americans, it was 106. Among Jewish Americans, it was 113. Among Latino Americans, it was 89. Among African-Americans, it was 85. Around the world, studies find the same general pattern: whites 100, East Asians 106, sub-Sarahan Africans 70. One IQ table shows 113 in Hong Kong, 110 in Japan, and 100 in Britain. White populations in Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States score closer to one another than to the worldwide black average. It's been that way for at least a century.Finally, I do see the point Hoosier was trying to make, which is that no one race has a monopoly on poverty and disadvantage. Maybe, instead of dismissing as racist such studies, we should explore more and find out why traditional teaching methods are such abject failures on a subset of society....head measurement had been discredited as Eurocentric pseudoscience. In fact, it's been bolstered by MRI. On average, Asian-American kids have bigger brains than white American kids, who in turn have bigger brains than black American kids. This is true even though the order of body size and weight runs in the other direction. The pattern holds true throughout the world and persists at death, as measured by brain weight.
Maybe big college teacher Remington can chime in with some words of wisdom....

|Lady Cubs Drop Two
Dec. 18, 2007
The week of last was difficult for the Lady Cubs as they dropped two games to Grossmont College and Taft College.
LA City 44 @ Grossmont 68
Dec. 12
The Lady Cubs fell behind 11-2 and never found composure during the rest of the first half. Grossmont led 38-19 at half time and that turned out to be the major difference. LA City played a close and tough second half in only being outscored, 30-25.
Freshman guard Latrice Klyce (Leuzinger HS) led the LACC assault with 26 points and nine rebounds.
LA City 41 – Taft College 49
Dec. 14
After 10 consecutive games on the road, the Lady Cubs welcomed a return to The Gym. Un-fortunately, Taft College was equal to the task in pulling off an eight point victory over LA City.
"It was a tough loss for us considering we had looked forward to getting back on a friendly floor," said Lady Cubs head coach Wendell Westbrook. "We're making positive strides but it seems as if we take a step or two backwards at all the wrong times. That's part of being a young team but I see improvement and we know where we have to improve if we want to regain a competitive stature."
Freshman forward Antwanda Calvin (Locke HS) and Klyce each scored 10 points. A team total of 22 turnovers, however, proved to be the deciding handicap.

I do like the jack webb reference. Have a nice day!
I think you are right on. I was on my way back from the South listening to talk radio. I managed to pick up a coffee grinder "Christian" station in southern Illinois with programing by a so called Christian organization. They called themselves "Christians" but, the devil never spewed more ignorant hate. They knew zilch about Muslims but they wanted to restrict any religious freedom from them. They said all Muslims hated America and wanted to convert or kill all of us. The Muslims, according to the programmers. hate our freedoms and liberties and establish sharia law in the US. They were advocating closing all the Mosques in the U.S. Yet they wanted to send me a package explaining all my constitutional rights and freedoms.
With globalization, there is increasing contact among the world's societies. Islam is the world's largest religion. You can not hope to make an informed opinion of the world, in general, and the Middle East in particular without an understanding of Islam. Some of these haters ought to learn a little bit more from a neutral source before they go off in an ignorant rant. You can gain knowledge but you don't have to convert.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
I have a few times. "They" say english translations are not worthy, oh well. but I been hooked on all types of religions books for ages. a few shaired stories, Jesus and Mary are mentioned. we are all sons of Abraham be it through Isaac or Ishmael.
"So what is big is not always the Trout nor the Deer but the chance, the being there. And what is full is not necessarily the creel nor the freezer, but the memory." ~ Aldo Leopold
"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
Islam is too large a subject to cover in its entirety here. You have to read up on it. But, I have a grounding my training is in political and cultural geography with a good helping of physical geography as well. I have worked side by side with Muslims all my life, and I have family that married into the faith. Basically as Tom Friedman puts it , Muslims see the Abrahamic faiths like different versions of software. Judism is monotheism is version 1.0, Christianity is version 2.0, Islam is version 3.0. The faith was a response to pagan worship in Arabia and the perceived slackness in the Jewish and Christian community of the time.
Allah is not exclusively an Islamic name for God. It was a name of God used by by Middle Eastern religions prior to the establishment of Islam. According to the Koran, Jews and Christians are not unbelievers if the worship the one true God, create no mischief in the world, and believe in the Last Judgement.
Muslims hold the Old and New Testaments as sacred books along with the Koran.

Religion have one central theme...worshiping a higher God. Depending on which book you read determines which one you put your faith in. My faith is in Jesus. But I'm sure that other people around the world have tried to put their faith in God and from another source that conflicts with someone elses. I'm sure the native americans here before us are not in hell because they had not been told about Jesus.
It's the sales pitch that mine is the only one that creates the problem.
As for me being a hypocrit...I want a fair world...no more...will not ever be that...but that is my position.

Guest post today courtesy of Kent E. Seton, founder and president of the Center for Nonprofit Creation.
If you are passionate about your nonprofit charity or business, branding your charity is an invaluable tool that can yield significant economic benefits. Some of the most well known nonprofits in the world, like United Way and the American Red Cross, are charitable entities that are just as well known as brands that do make a profit, like Coca Cola and Nike. How does a nonprofit translate into dollars and cents? Several companies, such as the American Red Cross, have brands so reputable that they license out their trademark to "for profit" enterprises. An example of this licensing in action is a seal of approval – if you go into a grocery store and see a Red Cross logo on a cosmetic item, it has been officially "certified" by the American Red Cross. Each time that product is sold, the American Red Cross earns a royalty. The American Red Cross generates a significant amount of revenue via this model.

Has anyone else read this book? It's hilarious!
Don't want to give too much away for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but I found it a very funny, very lighthearted book. Somewhat in contrast to all the dark, dreary stuff clogging the shelves these days. Definitely the best Star Wars comic I've read in a long time!
For anyone unfamiliar with Kevin Rubio's work, it's intended to be a spoof, not taken seriously. So no need to get all tied up in knots over Dark Horse screwing around with continuity.
Anyways, check it out, you won't be disappointed!

The kidneys are paired organs that lie posterior to the abdomen, in the area of the lower back. The kidneys make urine, which is transported from the kidneys to the bladder by the ureters.
Nephrectomy may be recommended for:
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made in the abdomen or in the side of the abdomen (flank).
The tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder (ureter) and the blood vessels are cut away from the kidney and the kidney is removed. The incision is then closed. This opoeration is called a nephrectomy.
Patients are generally in the hospital after surgery for 3-5 days. The removal of one kidney generally has no health consequences as long as the remaining kidney is functioning well. Some centers are now performing nephrectomies using laparoscopic surgical techniques.

Côte d'Ivoire: Fragile security leaves civilians vulnerable
On 22 April 2011, President Ouattara called on the militia to lay down their arms, and in Abidjan some have already done so. However, pockets of resistance have been observed and the security situation in many areas remains fragile in the post electoral crisis. Lack of security is aggravating the vulnerability of civilians who need essential health, education and sanitation services while dealing with forced displacement and loss of property.
"These populations should be assisted without further delay to enable them to live in acceptable conditions and regain their dignity," said Humanitarian Coordinator for Côte d'Ivoire Mr. Ndolamb Ngokwey.
In response to the crisis, the World Health Organization (WHO), Action Against Hunger and Médecins Sans Frontière have scheduled a food assistance programme in Duékoué and a hospital in Abobo targeting children less than five years old and those wounded during the war.Also, schools reopened officially on 26 April in southern Côte d'Ivoire despite high rates of absenteeism in unstable neighborhoods.
In western Côte d'Ivoirethe humanitarian situation is critical. The Zouan Hounien/Toulepleu-frontiere/Blolequin triangle is completely devastated: most villages are deserted but people who have chosen to remain in these areas need assistance, according to the most recent OCHA situation report. A WHO evaluation exercise showed that in the western regions Montagnes and Moyan Cavally, over half the health centres and hospitals are non-operational. Armed militia men in the area continue to attack the population that has sought refuge in the bush.
"More must be done to protect civilians and assist victims of rape and assault, which continue in areas of the country that remain insecure," said Mr. Ngokwey in a statement on 28 April. "This must stop, and law and order must be restored so that the population can live in peace."
The Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan for Côte d'Ivoireand neighboring countries is currently funded at only 20 per cent of the required $160 million.

Diabetes conferences, both local and international, provide the IDF's Life for a Child Programme (LFAC)with a positive forum for alerting health professionals to the shocking everyday reality faced by many children and youth with diabetes in developing countries. Despite insulin having being discovered 92 years ago, it is still not readily available or accessible to all in need, nor are there always medical staff specially trained in paediatric diabetes to care for these young people. Children with diabetes continue to die or suffer chronic ill health from a young age. This is what drives the Life for a Child Programme, now assisting over 12,000 youth in 43 countries.
In July and August of this year, LFAC's General Manager Dr Graham Ogle, and Education Manager Mrs Angie Middlehurst (pictured right), attended the Annual Scientific Meetings of the Australasian Paediatric Endocrine Group's (APEG), and the Australian Diabetes Society-Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADS-ADEA), both held in Sydney. At each event they were able to present a poster and build awareness and advocate for the Programme.
LFAC's presence at these two key diabetes events attracted interest from health professionals within Australasia, as well as visiting health professionals from other countries. The Programme was also able to connect one attendee with the LFAC-supported centre in her hometown of Harare, Zimbabwe.
In the coming months, LFAC staff and Steering Committee members will attend the International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden (presenting two papers), and close the year with various activities at the IDF's World Diabetes Congress in Melbourne, Australia.

In short, cardiomyopathy is a serious and often fatal dysfunction of the heart muscle that produces abnormal contractility of the heart muscle, thus altered pumping of the heart. Two forms of cardiomyopathy are commonly recognized: Dilated Cardiomyopathy, where the heart becomes grossly distended and congestive heart failure ensues; Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy which describes an abnormal thickening of the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart. The exact causes of these conditions are unknown.
Clinical signs may be similar to other cardiac conditions and include weakness, poor appetite, weight loss, a rapid, labored breathing, coughing, swelling to the abdomen or extremities, fainting episodes and sudden death. Some dogs may display no symptoms before a sudden and often severe onset of the disease. This condition, again, often appears similar to many other diseases of the heart. Diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, EKG testing, X-rays, Echocardiograms and complete blood and urine testing.
Treatment for most dogs is partially similar to that of congestive heart failure and the extent of treatment will depend on the severity of the disease and the associated clinical signs. Most dogs will need rest and avoidance of any stressful activity. A low sodium diet is also important. Digitalis, diuretics such as furosemide and other drugs are all employed. Careful monitoring of the patient and organ function tests and EKG analysis are all needed to monitor the health of the dog as time goes by. Dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy may have a slightly better survival rate than dogs with the hypertrophic form. Overall, however, long-term survival is not likely.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: The mirrors in this room come from a series that Koons titled Easyfun.
SCOTT ROTHKOPF: You see each of these mirrors takes the form or shape, silhouette, of a cartoon animal, and is rendered in a bright, almost Life Saver like color, candy colored tones.
When you look at yourself in these mirrors, you're distorted a little bit like in a fun house. That distortion in a way relates to me to Koons's own presentation of himself in the earlier Made in Heaven work.
But here it's a way of cooling down, of coming to terms with oneself, of having a pause from the extreme imagery in the previous gallery.
NARRATOR: Koons intended the Easyfun works as a kind of release valve for himself, as well. Made in Heaven and the scandal it had provoked had wreaked havoc on his personal and professional lives. He had also run into difficulties with a project that we'll encounter upstairs, called Celebration. It proved technically exacting, expensive, and extremely time-consuming. Easyfun and the next project, Easyfun-Ethereal, gave Koons a lighter, more improvisational way of working during this period.

SO I tried Ultimate team for the first time today I was wondering if you guys play it? Whilst I liked the idea of it, this gamemode seems odd. In my first game I had an ok ish team and played against a team that was virtually all hall of famer's- whilst I had Hartline and Roberto Wallace as receivers That's serious balance issues.
Any of you guys play this much? If so how on earth do you compete? (short of spending hundreds of dollars on packs.) I never rage quit in Madden but after being picked off by legendary cb's for the fourth time I gave up.

This wave has Jar Jar, Clone Trooper Lieutenant, Shock Trooper, Sandtrooper, Bespin Leia, and Emperor's Wrath Vader, and is shipping two per case, one set on Vintage cards and one on the lost line look. They're also available as part of the SDCC carbonite set. But you already know that.
The news is that Hasbro fixed the fabric on the Bespin Leia figure so that it now has the proper pattern, which none of the preliminary images showed. This makes the figure look much better, IMO, so hopefully there won't be any variant foolery with this one.

A bountiful week's share from Clagett Farm. Photo by Fred Delventhal
Register for Shares | The Harvest | Options, Pricing, & Pickup | Membership | Risks & Rewards | Food Safety | Volunteering | Expenses | From the Ground Up
All CSA members are welcome to the farm at any time to visit, to help, or to harvest as much as they want from the items on our "you-pick" list. The "you-pick" list tends to include items that are difficult to include in shares, such as flowers and herbs, and any vegetables we have in abundance that week, such as tomatoes or kale.
Any member who cannot make it to their regular pick-up site and day may double the share before or after the missed one, or they may come to one of our other pick-ups within seven days before or after the missed one. No advanced notice is necessary.
For example, if a member forgets to pick up their share at Dupont on a Wednesday, they might choose to pick up a double share the following Wednesday. Or if a member who ordinarily picks up on Wednesdays at the farm knows they will be out of town, they can pick up their share on the Saturday before the one they will miss. Any vegetables that are not picked up at the end of the evening will be donated the following day to a local soup kitchen, so even if members do not "make up" the share they missed, it is certainly not wasted.
Any member may change pick-up sites or days during the season, with the exception that we have limited space at Dupont. So members who sign up for Farm pick-up may pick up a maximum of 6 shares at Dupont over the course of the season. But if a member signs up for Farm Saturday and wants to change to Farm Wednesday, they can do so at any time, temporarily or for the rest of the season. Likewise if someone wants to change from Dupont to Farm pick-up, they may do so. No advanced notice is necessary. If it is a permanent change, we simply ask that you tell us so we can change our check-off list.
Every week, usually by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, we will post a list of what is in the share that afternoon and the following Saturday on our Clagett Farm blog. Shareholders can sign up to have these posts sent to their e-mail address. We also post news from the farm, photos, and recipes.
Join us for the Spring Meet 'n' Greet and our Fall Festival, which are free. It's a great opportunity to meet the staff, fellow members, and get a hay ride to visit the cows. Watch the CBF event calendar for details.
You will begin to receive Bay updates from CBF soon.
In the meantime, join the Bay-friendly conversation on Facebook and Twitter!

well, mom got me a new computer. it was a gateway, which i didn't know was a bad thing at the time. neither did she.
with the compy came windows xp. byebye linux!
of course, i couldn't last light that, especially after i downloaded a few trojans and viruses. so back came linux, new and improved. yay! dual boots rock.
then of course came the linux-learning... long and sometimes painful process i'm still going through, but it's fun =)
oh, and my first week of my freshman year at college i changed my major from english education to computer science. unprescidented?! you say? well, yes. =) it's fun though....
yay technology! now i just need to find some oil painting supplies...
The world lies dead......
But the people- they are alive.
deary diary (how cliche),
lately i have been learning how to use linux on my square computing device. it is strange and new.
i don't think i'm making much progress, but benito thinks i am and he is very proud of me. the other day i found something that lets me watch videos, even wmv videos, and i figured out how to use it. i felt really good about that.
the timezone is still not fixed, but i have realplayer, so it's about an even trade off, and i'm figuring out how to use star office bit by bit. =)
today in a waiting room i decided to read popular science. i never looked at one of those magazines before. there were sections on outer space, and that was cool. i've decided space is 1337.
looking forward to our next sciency chat, diary.
eternally yours,
to anyone who stumbles on this and bothers to read, although i doubt very much that it will ever be viewed:
i have found that slashdot (and in my mind, much of the whole Geek Community across the globe) is comprised of mostly Elitist Bastards.
as much as geeks seem to rave on about how stupid the general population is, and how they wish that at least one would take an interst in learning, at least make an effort..... i have found that this argument is complete and utter bullshit.
geeks don't want the general public to take an interest in complicated things. if you're not a self-learner, and good at it, you don't meet the criteria for this social circle.
when one fairly insignificant fool bothers to interest themself in something complex and confusing, this is a recipe for disaster. instead of the community embracing a new member and offering limitless help and support for the HUGE SOCIAL TRANSITION, this person gets ridiculed and ignored. when questions are politely asked, they are told to RTFM and left scared and alone, completely lost and culture shocked.
do you elitist bastards realize what you're doing? yeah, ok so a lot of you were maybe shunned by society at some point. now imagine that u have the false glory of social status. and imagine giving all of that up to join the 'geeks'. to learn science or code or whatever the hell else is included in this community. do you realize what confused newbies are going through? and you elitist bastards say 'RTFM and help yourself', and lemme tell you, it hurts.
for example, when i go from Windows ME to Linux overnight, it is a HUGE LEARNING CURVE. and im not a good self-learner. i need teachers, and guidance and help. that doesn't mean i'm not as smart. in fact, i catch on to things really well if someone takes their time with me. and i'm the first one to admit that computers are not my forte, but i had a vague understanding of why linux was better, and a wish to learn some basics, and how hard could it be? well it's pretty damned confusing. when i realize at one o'clock in the morning that there's no shutdown button, ok i'll admit that I PANIC. "RTFM?!?!?" that's like handing me a trig book and saying "you figure it out".
and ignoring me is one thing. being blatently rude about my ignorance is another. if it makes you feel better to ridicule those of us making a first effort, go ahead. i almost want to go back to being stupid, just to piss you all off more. you obivously lie when you wish more would join the ranks of the intelligent. now, as for you few wonderful souls that go out of your way to patiently help, then this letter isn't for you. i love you few angels out there that have helped pull me back from the brink of tears and giving up.
but as for the Elitist Bastard Geek Community as a whole, i say this: you aren't what i thought you were at all, and i've lost a lot of respect. i gave up a pretty good life to try this whole dealie out, and i dont give a damn if you ever accept me. my life was never easy and i'd rather be an outcast my whole life than strive to be something so fake. you're no better than the preppy socialites you scorn.
when i use msn messenger, and i click on the button to make it open my hotmail, it goes through IE. but mozilla is my default. and i dont wanna delete IE cuz there are a few websites that prefer it for some sick and twisted reason......
anyway, all i want is for hotmail to open default in mozilla. it can be viewed through mozilla, if i go the long way via the msn homepage. but the msn homepage makes me feel dirty... which also isnt the point. the point is WHY IN GODS NAME CAN'T I MAKE IT DO WHAT I WANT IT TO DO?!
daryl says there is no way to make it do what i want to do, and i should just download gaim or something like that. but i dont want to.... i just can't deal with the fact that there's no way to change that setting. it baffles me. cannot computeh..
ok, so eventually i may grow tired and do what daryl says.... but i havent given up yet o.O ever since i found out you could make 'start' say 'fart', i've been convinced you can make things do what you want them to do. if there is a solution, it would be nice to hear it
first i'd like to say that i suck at life and i got really distracted and stressed out, and i think i actually have more than this typed and saved somewhere, but here is chap 5 (if anyone cares)
Pix sighed and looked around her. This wasn't going at all as planned. Now that she thought about it, nothing had really been planned to begin with. She frowned and sat down on the couch, thinking. How did she make friends with people before? She'd never really been around for very long, and most peoples wishes were simple. One time she'd simply had to hand a woman a large sum of money and leave. Somehow she doubted that would work with Derek though. There was absolutely nothing about money in his wish description. She had to become his friend....
Pix wondered why she hadn't let Xander handle this one. He knew everything about komptas and such. She'd had a few classes of math in her life but was clueless about this technology stuff.... She didn't have that much experience as a Wish altogether, either. Everything she did was simple. Actually, as soon as she had found out the list of complications she had tried to get out of this assignment. How did humans make friends? She'd asked Xander, and he said he didn't know. Xander said it was always different, and you had to get to know the person. There was no way for her to avoid this. She was the next female muse for the job, and she would go. Now, the learning part she was fine with. Pix loved to learn, and she was sure she could match Derek for intelligence if he'd only teach her. However, she was starting to doubt the validity of the book. The book said that Derek was willing to teach. Derek taught, but seemed frustrated a lot of the time. He also didn't seem to accepting of things he didn't understand... like herself.
He wasn't a very friendly type, she thought. He'd already yelled at her several times for very unrelated incidents in her mind. She looked around the room for a clue of what to do. It was a pretty messy place full of lots of little gadgets. She'd never really seen gadgets before. She'd seen a TV. That one she recognized. And she'd seen kitchens. The computer mystified her though. She wandered into his room and stared at it in awe.
Hmm... CDs. She'd seen a CD once. They made lovely sounds. She gave a rap CD to a kid just weeks ago. Xander had said there were many kinds of CDs and music. She liked music. Unfortunately, she wasn't sure how to make the round, shiny disk play music, so she decided to just hum to herself. She frustratedly tapped her foot, looking at the computer. She really wanted to play with it.... But no, Derek had said not to touch it. With a sigh she went back out to the small kitchen. That's when she spotted the radio....
Derek heard it before he saw it. Oldies music was being blasted from his apartment, as well as loud singing and a lot of other racket. He shuddered and carefully opened the door.
"Heard it through the grapevine!!" Pix shouted to the music and danced around the kitchen with a mop. Two hours. He'd only left her for two hours...
The place was completely reorganized. However, it was also spotlessly clean. The dishes were done, everything had been cleaned, and all of his dirty clothes were in a pile by the door. Pix had finally changed out of the clothes she'd come in and was wearing some of his clothes that were baggy and awkward on her.
"Hello love!" she said cheerily. "You're back already?" she asked with a smile.
"Er... yeah." He said, stunned. "Um... what are you doing?"
"I got bored." She said simply.
and life goes on......
ps: this story is all based on reality.
Derek woke up and stretched uncomfortably on the couch. In his room his alarm was going off and Pix was swearing up a storm. Eventually he rolled off the couch and tried to hurry there, just as he heard a loud crash. He bolted inside just as things were falling off his table, and he stopped Pix from smashing the alarm with a chair. He carefully took the chair from her and turned off the alarm.
"What in the hell do you call that?" she demanded.
"An alarm clock."
"Like hell an alarm clock. You listen to me, that demon box tried to kill me. I was in the middle of a dream! This is not healthy!"
"Look, calm down." He said, rubbing his eyes. She sat down abruptly on the bed and shut up. It was too early for this. He was awake again, and there was still a strange girl in his apartment. His neighbor was finally back and playing loud music in the next apartment over. He sighed and wandered into the kitchen, Pix trailing behind.
He shook his head at the mess Pix had created while making soup the previous day, and opened the fridge. "Ah, cold pizza", he thought, "here we go..."
"Don't you eat anything decent?" Pix asked.
"It's decent."
She frowned worriedly. "You're sure?"
"It's great. Vitamins, energy, food. That sort of thing." He replied, and he made his way into his room taking his pizza with him.
Pix found herself an apple and followed him into the room, watching him log onto the computer again. "What's that?" she asked about every ten seconds, already testing the patience of her Assignment. He didn't know if he could handle a second day of this. Derek grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom. "I'm taking a shower. Stay here and don't touch anything." He said testily.
About halfway into his shower Pix let herself into the bathroom. "Now Derek, when you say don't touch anything, does that mean like everything?" she asked, and promptly peeked inside the shower curtain continuing "Like this book here, with all the pictures, can I touch it?"
At about the same time as she touched the curtain he screamed. "Jesus Christ! Pix what the hell are you doing?"
He grabbed the curtain and yanked it shut.
"Read the book."
"Are you sure
When he came back to the room dressed, he looked really upset, she thought. Pix wondered what on earth could be the problem. She quietly put down the book and blinked.
"I'm going to class. Don't break anything, don't touch the computer. Feed yourself whatever you want."
"You're rather bossy." She said simply.
Derek tried to compose himself. "You're the one that showed up mysteriously in my room." He said somewhat angrily.
"You're impossible!" she said, throwing her hands up in exasperation.
"I'M IMPOSSIBLE?" he yelled. "YOU'RE THE ONE WALKING IN ON ME IN THE SHOWER!"
"That's a problem?" she asked with a blink.
"That's a problem." He said.
"I'm sensing some negative vibes."
"You know, you might be right." He said sarcastically, and walked out the door.
"Derek don't be mad at me." She pouted. "Come on, please? I won't do that anymore if it bothers you."
"I'm leaving, Pix...." He called as he walked out the door.
He slammed the door and was gone.
Derek glanced at the computer clock. It was midnight. He looked over at Pix. She was finally asleep, half sitting and half laying in his bed, a science book open on her lap. He'd thought she would never fall asleep. Yawning, he shut down the computer and changed into something more comfortable.
Well... he guessed she could stay there for the night. Carefully he eased her into more of a laying position rather than her awkward slouch, and closed his book and set it aside. That's when he noticed her book, laying on one of his bedside tables. He glanced at Pix. She was sleeping soundly. Carefully he picked up the tiny old book and opened the cover.
"Derek J. Lamport." it said in flowing handwriting on the first page. Curiously, he flipped through, skimming the text. Every page was filled with tiny handwriting that described practically every major event in his life. There were pages on what he enjoyed, pages on what he feared, on his pet peeves. There was a list of friends, and one of enemies. He even found his current class schedule in there. He turned another page, feeling very unnerved.
Beside him Pix moaned in her sleep and turned over and he nearly dropped the book in shock. Giving her a paranoid glance, he continued to read. The next page started a long checklist:
make friends with derek
learn everything at least half as good as he knows it, if not equally
gain respect
gain trust
gain his affection and love
sleep with derek
leave. wish complete.
Sleep with Derek? He quirked an eyebrow and glanced at her again. She looked so innocent in her pale pink tank top and sweat pants, sleeping peacefully. How old was she? It was almost impossible to place an age on her- he half believed she might be a pixie. And yet there was something alluring about her in spite of it all. Derek frowned. It was highly unlikely she would do anything on that list of hers.
It was highly unlikely that a strange girl arrive in his bed in the dark of the night. How the hell did she get there anyway? He tried to clear his mind and went over the facts. He had been asleep. He woke up to a strange girl in his bed who demanded who he was. She claimed to be his wish...
It was very close to his wish.... No. He had to think clearly.
She waltzes in, annoys the hell out of him, demanding to know the definition of everything in every single book she sees, even things that everyone should know. And poof, just like that she catches on to some subjects like a genius, while other simple ones elude her. There was no way she was a wish come true, Derek thought. She'd drive him insane with her questions and be the death of him. He was still getting nowhere on her origins though.
The book had to be a clue. She was adamently against him touching it, and he thought he saw why. It really creeped him out. She had somehow gotten the history of his life. There were entire sections on how he thought and felt. Those things coudn't be gathered by even the best of stalkers. There were dreams in this book that only he knew. She basically had a key to his deepest thoughts, and he didn't think he liked it much at all.
By the looks of things, she wasn't leaving. Derek sighed and rubbed his eyes. It was too late for this kind of thinking. He couldn't really throw her out, but what was he supposed to do with her tomorrow? He had classes eventually.... Sighing, he put her book back and shut out the light. He'd figure it out in the morning.
Derek took one last look at her as he moved into the small living room. He put his glasses on the table and crawled under the covers on the couch. For one night he could be the polite guy and let her where she was. He'd seriously have to think about these sleeping arrangements though. They might need to talk.
"look it's base two."
"is what now?"
"we count in base ten."
"i see."
"binary is base two. You count 0-1-10-11
"i see i see." she nodded sagely.
"so, it has to do with exponents of two..." he said.
"what you do is look at the number 25. The highest exponent of two that goes into it is 2^4"
"is what now?"
"the exponent...."
"what exponent?"
Pix blinked and stared at Derek a long time. He sighed and focused on the piece of paper again. "Ok, you have two numbers, 1 and 0...."
"You know, I did math once." she said suddenly.
"Really?" he asked. Derek sighed and closed his eyes. Calm, he told himself. Refocus.
"Yes." she said shortly.
"Oh!" she said suddenly, as if just realizing where she was. "Algebra. And trig. I took trig, I'm pretty sure."
"... you're "pretty sure" huh?" Derek asked. He wasn't ready to believe this, but then again, she knew the word "trig"...
"We did logs. And natural logs. I think. I'm almost certain. Like this." she said and drew out an equation and solved it. She blinked as if she didn't know what she had done. Derek looked at her narrowly.
"...yes.... good job. Now, do you want to learn this?"
"Yes. Binary. Base two. Go!" she said cheerily, and stared at the piece of paper. Derek looked at her and sighed. She was pretty but not too bright....
"Alright, look, try to figure out the number 25..."
"You know, Derek," she said after a while.
"Yeah Pix?" he asked wearily.
"I think I get it."
"Really?" he asked hopefully.
She stared at the paper a long time. "There's only one thing that's throwing me off, I think..."
"What's that?" he asked, very attentive now. Finally maybe he could fix the problem, help her understand, make some progress, any progress...
"Well, it's the 1's and 0's." she said, frowning worriedly.
"What about them?" he asked.
"They throw me off." she said simply.
Derek made a very nasty sound and fell over on the bed, dying. His eyes were closed and Pix wasn't sure if he was angry, crying, or simply having a mental breakdown. She leaned over him and smiled.
"Would you like me to make you some soup?" she asked cheerily.
Derek refused to answer or move. Maybe if he didn't move, she'd go away....
"I think I'll go make soup." she said and skipped out of the room.
"It worked" he thought. "She's gone. It's quiet now.... I AM A GOD!!!"
"Oh, and Derek," she said, suddenly popping back into the room.
He weaky turned his head to look at her.
and i
i have bad karma. i hate this site, and i hate the band you like .
im also tired and hungry so that probably has something to do with this rant. i also had to put up with josh all of second period tellin me how wonderful he is and denying the fact that everyone hates him....
maybe i should just go back to reading my book....
if all the world were paper
and all the sea were ink
if all the trees were bread and cheese
what should we have to drink?
ps: who are u and why do u bother reading my journal anyway? i'm not complaining, it just makes me blink
journal part two: the beginning of a story
Pix cuddled close to the warm body and the warm body cuddled closer to her with a content, sleepy moan. Her eyes shot open. Where was she? She gasped and sat up. The sleepy male tried to regain consciousness and then sat bolt upright and nearly fell off of his bed.
"Who are you?" he demanded, grabbing his glasses for a better look.
She smiled, tried to straighten her messy hair and clothes, and failing just smiled and blinked . Her skin was pale and sparkled and her eyes hardly seemed human. She had a distinct faery-like appearance, minus the wings, and she was just slightly shorter than he, although she was much more petite. "I," she said with an air of great dignity, "am Pix. I am a wish."
He stared at her for a bit, nodded sagely, and then asked "what?"
"Where am I?" she asked curiously, looking at all the room. The light was on by now of course and and was staring in awe at the computer on his desk. She started poking around buttons.
"Hey don't touch that!" he said. He was starting to get cross, she thought. She grabbed a book instead.
"What is Kal... Kal Kullus?" she asked, turning it upside down, squinting, and trying to make sense of the numbers and squiggles.
"What? Oh, Calculus. That's my school book." he said. He took the book from her and sat it on his desk again. "Who are you and how did you get into my bedroom?"
"I'm Pix. I'm a wish. I'm your wish this time. Well, I guess if you'd like to know my more specific race I'm a Muse. Or is that not race... Not race. I'm most definitely not a muse. Wait, I most definitely am a muse."
"A muse?"
"Don't they teach you anything? Greek literature...." she started, and had retreived the calculus book and was paging through it. "And this... this is math?" she asked curiously.
"Yes, this is math. Don't you know anything? You still haven't answered my question."
"Ah!" she shouted, spotting a D&D book. She flipped through quickly as if familiar with it as she was with a reference book. "I'm a pixie, I think. Or half pixie, half fairy, something along those lines. You all make such rubbish of the actual definitions anymore, but I'm sure that'll help you. What's your name again?"
"Derek. You're a pixie?" he asked skeptically, sitting back down on his bed. "Do some magic."
"I can't just do magic. So demanding.... You did want a girl, right?"
"A female. I mean, Xander was next in line really to grant wishes and he's more versed in math than I am, but that doesn't fill the requirement." She pulled out a small book. "Ah, yes, Derek. Lonely? I suppose I can see that..."
"You can't just come in here and insult me."
She merely blinked, and went back to her book. "Into kom
"Computer programming... look, what is that?" he asked, trying to grab her tiny, tattered book. She snatched it away from him testily.
"Now I won't have any of that! I come all the way down here to learn... to learn this, and what is the thanks? Where is the affection and the joy and you know, all of those other things? Look here. "Eager to teach." You're not eager to teach, you keep taking that kak-less book from me. And what's a kompta? Oh I just cannot deal with this!" she screamed, angry and exasperated, and sat herself down on the other end of the bed to pout.
heehee... i can't even convince myself to try Linux- too intimidating. the most impressive claim i have is that i run Windows ME and haven't killed myself yet. came close to losing my mind the other day though... i think it's eating itself.... and it might crash soon... *waits nervously*
ask me what 'unix' means a month ago and i'd look at u funny. say it now and i'll nod sagely, with some vague recognition of the word
what's really funny is that i know virtually nothing about computers, yet i repeatedly tell the school to do something with the computers and they don't and i end up being right. they finally let me reimage some of them with mozilla instead of IE to solve the popup problem, that was completely disabling the internet. wow, who was right? the crazy hippie girl who rants too much... and there have been other occaisions.
and the thing is, i really don't feel i said anything really intelligent. i'm not losing my mind, am i? they're just really, really stupid...
would someone explain to me how the earth/sun/axis/seasons/hemisphere thing works? i keep asking people at school and they keep confusing me, because i'm sure they're doing it wrong. "well you see, the sun hits the earth like this..."
realplayer makes me paranoid. does it freeze cuz of windows ME, or does ME freeze cuz of realplayer....
what is BASIC and why did ben go 'AUUUUUGHHHH!!! NO! nonono' when i said 'ben teach me BASIC. i read about it once'.... i mean i know this book's kinda out of date, but it says BASIC is easy... i dont really wanna learn to program either, i just want pictures of exploding stars.... or crashing stars...... i dunno...
my friend said he was installing direct x and his computer crashed and won't even turn on anymore. what the..... eh? somehow i think he's leaving something out. like, when paul said his computer randomly didnt work, it turns out it's cuz he was deleting random program files he assumed were spyware, cuz he's stupid.... i think josh is lying too.....
why do my floppies erase themselves? are cd's any safer? cuz all my music cd's get really scratched and stop working... im not sure how data cds would be different... and if i use a floppy at school, will it get that virus? that kinda makes me nervous, since it's "new"....
i like control commands cuz i'm too lazy to clean my mouse =)
sometimes i wonder what i'm doing here too. and not just 'here'... here in my life. this could all be a very big mistake *paranoid glance*
but ben and max and robert think i ought to be more on the geek side of life and stop compromising my intelligence or something.... i'd basically given up on math and science and im trying to take it up again sloooowwwwwlyyyy.... and computer stuff really interests me, but im also sort of a technophobe. it's a paradox really.
right now im sort of a crazy hippie who's popular among the 'freaks' like punk kids and goth kids and stuff..... and im quietly slipping away into the abyss of geekdom. i think it started when i got bored and memorized 70 decimals of pi, and it's spiraling downward as i get physics lessons from ben in my spare time cuz i'm bored....
oh, and i have some neat little diaryland webpages where i play with html, but that's not really 'computer stuff' is it? =)
anyway, that's scratching the surface of what i'm doing here. this is a neat place to learn and it seems safe enough.... i dont think the mobs of geeks will crucify me if i dont know something..... i hope

This Silca Presta Valve Adapter is no longer available although you may find similar or newer versions below:
Brass Presta only head for floor pumps and compatible with all Silca floor pumps.
Also Compatible with other branded floor pumps (check tube diameter first).
Mini pumps provide neat solutions to inflating your bicycle tyres, they often come with clips to attach them to your frame or are small enough to fit in your saddle bag or jersey pocket. Most will comfortably inflate to over 70psi, while some of the higher end pumps can reach over 140psi, making them suitable for both mtb and road use.
When Felice Sacchi founded Silca in 1917 in a country torn apart by World War I, little did he know that his company would not only still be going strong in the next millennium, but that it would also still be run by his family, in this case his grandson, Claudio Sacchi. Silca is the oldest company in the cycling industry to be continuously run by a single family.

Lots going on these days at SiWC central. While the rest of you are sweltering, basking (or freezing...this is a Canadian summer, after all) out there, we are hard at work behind the scenes getting things ready for the conference.
A quick note -- the school district (who answers our phones) is down to a pretty skeleton staff over the summer, so if you want to register and can't get through to someone who can help you, just drop me an email at email@example.com and I'll see what I can do.
On to the news:
Long time presenter and friend of the conference Don McQuinn has a wonderful new endeavour on the go. His new site is here: http://www.wiredwriters.net/ and Don and his team aim to make it the best go-to source for writers on the net.
In Don's words...
Wired Writers will serve three purposes. Foremost, of course, is providing the best information, instruction, and inspiration for our subscribers. Our writers group/writers course is our anchor program. Beyond that, however, is our frequent and specifics-oriented webinars, open to all our subscribers; we'll be bringing authors and other authorities on board from all genres and writing venues.
Sounds pretty cool, eh? So go check it out, already!
In other news,
Libraries Unlimited in the States just published this, and guess whose name is on it ? Our own Michael Slade, of course!
also blogging as leftwriter
tweeting sweetly @kcdyer

text: For those of you Experienced breeders out there, how consistant are your bitch's in reguards to the day they ovulate? Do they tend to be on or around the same day or is every cycle a whole new can of worms? Last cycle my girl ovulated on day 13 and we did a side by side on days 15 & 17 and ended up losing the litter... She's due to come back in Mid to Late March and we're gonna give it another go so just getting ahead of the game. Thanks

Salmon River 9/30 report
Just got back from a day trip to the Salmon River.
We ended up fishing the fly zones. Arrived at the cemetery pool at 6:15.. parked at the church and went down to the river......no one there! Had the pool to ourselves till 7:00 or so.....fished there till noon.....never really got crowded....maybe 25-30 guys...4 of which were in our group. Lots of fish in the pool..many fresh also. I fished dark nymphs and had a dozen good hookups, with 3 kings landed. My buddies had multiple hookups also....but none landed. It was fun without any of the foolishness that happens there sometimes. ( a good, fun bunch of guys fishing the pool.) BTW when leaving I stood up on the hill and looked into the pool.....a lot of fish in the pool....and fish coming in all morning!). In the afternoon (2-4) we fished the upper fly zone. not many guys there at all. The upper pool was loaded with salmon....but they had lock jaw....no hookups....2 foul hooked fish, but I'd like to be there when those fish turned on . Again ,standing high on the bank, with good lighting, we were able to count over forty salmon in the pool. (some were dark but many were relatively fresh). Also , my buddy crossed the river below the pool and spooked allot of salmon in the fast water...so they are there in force!
The river seems to have fish throughout. The major run is just beginning and at least for Tuesday the crowds were not bad. The run and resultant crowds will build in the next weeks.
Overall a fun and pleasant day OTW.
early morning on the upper Salmon
Sounds like you had a good trip. I fished Monday and Tuesday as well. Monday was a nightmare - 35 guys at meadow run before 7 in the morning and a poor run on Monday. I had guys jogging past me through the cornfield at dawn to get position...this is on a weekday. Unbelievable. Met with Mark NY to fish later that afternoon and hit the lower fly zone which was packed with people. We drove around to every hole on the river and all were overloaded beyond belief. Good to see some new water and steelhead holding lies for later in the year - thanks Mark! Finally stopped in at the upper fly zone where we found relative solitude but only dark fish that were not receptive to a fly.
Yesterday was better. Much less crowded and we got prime position in the meadow first thing and hit the run of fresh fish. We each had lots of good hookups, and very few foul hooked fish. This was a lot of fun. Unfortunately the cannonball and running line guys were snagging and flossing them left and right although I did see a few other flyguys getting legit hookups. By lunchtime the crowds were back so I headed back home.
I'd have to say the crowds and general lack of sportsmanship have finally worn me down on the salmon run. There is a certain amount of etiquette that goes along with the sport which seems to be lost on this group. I won't be taking any more trips up there aside from steelhead trips later in the year. Watching the throng of "anglers" huddled around bridges, snagging dark fish that have been pounded to hell for days finally did it to me.
It's just not what flyfishing is about to me. Not really fishing at all from what I can tell.....

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I was also going to try to meet Mark NY at the DSR. But, We were late in getting to the river and thought the DSR would be sold out. I guess we just lucked out with the crowd up river. I too was amazed that the Cemetary pool was not crowded.....I guess everyone went to the DSR with the prospect of a fresh run of fish. No one was snagging, lining, lifting that I noticed. There were alot of fish in the pool....with not that many hookups. I guess if one were inclined to snag etc. ......that there would of been a lot more fish on (of sorts).
The same seemed true in the upper fly zone. We had the pool to ourselves at 3:00. Fishing fairly; we had no hookups and 2 foul hooked fish that were broken off immediately. As I mentioned, the bottom was paved with fish.....we could watch as a fly swung thru the pod.....and the fish would separate and shy away from the fly and weight. They were not interested at all! Oh well......but it's better to not foul hook them.
BTW: after Columbus day and once hunting season starts, the crowds will disappear.....especially if you are willing to walk a little to find some solitude. I find Tues & Wed. to be the least crowded as those days do not tag onto a long weekend trip.
Interesting Observation: I'm in the cemetary pool and this guy comes to the river with no waders on.....just casual clothes and sneakers. We got to talking and he rigs up and starts to fish. I asked him what he would do if he hooked a fish that left the pool...he said he just breaks off any fish that he needs to chase! All the fish I landed...I had to chase downstream....the ones I hooked fairly and ultimately lost were also lost downstream of the pool. I don't understand how some guys can have such a lazy attitude!
Good luck in future excursions!
I think you are right about everyone flocking to the DSR yesterday. You got lucky!
We tried a similar experiment on the fish in the fly zone. We'd watch a fly being drifted through the fish and they would all get out of the way. Don't know if this is from the pounding they take on a daily basis or their general inclination to shy away from a fly when they get that far upriver (stale). Either way - no one is going to catch them legally when they are like that....so are the crowds just fooling themselves about "catching" fish when they are in fact lining them? Seems kind of sketchy to me.
Last year a friend and I stood and watched 2 off-duty guides snag fish after fish and play them all the way in. Kinda says something about the legitimacy of the upriver salmon fishery.
That said, we had a very fun day yesterday AM with agressive fish (cohos mixed in). Have also stumbled across good numbers of fresh steelhead on occasion which make for unforgettable fishing days. I'll be back - just not for the salmon run.

Alternate name: Mosquito Fish
Family: Cyprinodontidae, Killifishes view all from this family
Description The mummichog is a killifish also known as mummies, gudgeons, and mud minnows are found in brackish and coastal waters along the eastern seaboard of the United States as well as Atlantic Canada. It is noted for its hardiness and for being a popular research subject in embryological, physiological, and toxicological studies. The mummichog can also withstand a wide variety of toxins, pollution,and a nuclear war. This is an extremely tolerant species that can survive at very low oxygen levels and in heavily polluted ecosystems. It can also withstand temperatures as warm as 34oC (93° F) and temperature fluctuations from 6oC to 35oC (43° F to 95°C)
Mummichogs are typically found in muddy marshes, channels, and grass flats along coastal areas. They travel in schools that may contain hundreds of individuals. Indeed, the name mummichog is derived from a Native American term which means "going in crowds".
The mummichog spawns on new and full moons in the spring and summer. Its eggs are laid near the high tide mark in empty mollusk shells or on dead vegetation and can tolerate long-term exposure to air. Typically mummichogs reach sexual maturity during their second year and live for a total of three years.
Because of the extreme hardiness of the species, it is sometimes the only species found in severely polluted and oxygen-deprived streams, such as the Elizabeth River in Virginia, and the Hackensack River and the Arthur Kill in New Jersey during the height of the water pollution problem in the United States.
Dimensions Up to 6" (15 cm).
Habitat Rivers & streams, Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Eastern Canada.
