The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beat the common cold. But in doing so, we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED.
Now, 20 years after the Rising, Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives - the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will out, even if it kills them.

"I laughed, I cried..."
I would like to thank everyone who was disappointed that this was not really a zombie story. I was not going to buy it until I read the reviews. Your disappointment gave me the encouragement I needed to take a chance on it. It was a great listen. I love the author's October Daye stories and this was just as good. She is a hard hitting story teller, and the idealism is a nice change not usually found in a distopian worlds. I don't want to provide any spoilers, but I will say none of my predictions for the conclusion was correct.
As for the reader's slight lisp, it helped make the characters more real for me.
I look forward to the next book, though I know I will have to steel myself to listen to it because of the emotional intensity.
"Surprisingly Good"
I only listened because of the Hugo nomination. I, for one, resent our new zombie overlords. But this really wasn't a zombie book, more of a "humans can adapt to anything, and still be bastards" kind of book. Fun to read, thought-provoking, and, to my surprise, with an emotional punch that had me mourning at one point in the book, really grieving for a character. Impressive.
"An interesting perspective"
As a zombie horror fan I liked the new (to me) way the perspective was presented from the intentionally different character views - newsie, irwin, fictional - and I thought it was a good mechanism for adding depth to what could have been a limited and boring narrative. The matter of fact way horrors are considered and dealt with as just part of life, the personality traits that led each character toward their own views, right down to seeing and accepting the flaws of those around us. You and I don't have to agree, and in a world where you're perpetually on the edge of extinction you and I are all we have, that seemed to be a strong under current not only in the brother/sister relationship yet in their dealings with others. And I took the 'Christian bashing' another reviewer noted as being a portrayal of the religious zealotry too common in today's news, politics and cultures, and the cost we pay for it. Questioning God? Who except the same zealots hasn't at some point, Ms. Grant conveyed to me a character that was searching for answers, holding to hope in a hopeless world, doing the right thing because its the right thing even within that abyss of doubting whether its all worth it or if there's anything beyond.
I guess I just read/heard more depth, more nuance than some, or my imagination filled in the blanks created from her words - and isn't that what's supposed to happen?
"Not what I expected, but still good"
Listening to the audiobook of Feed by Mira Grant left me with a most unexpected experience. I've read my fair share of zombie books from horror to humor, but none have left me feeling the way Feed did. I'm not even sure how to review it but I'll give it a shot.
Feed is told from the point of view(s) of a team of bloggers after the world has fallen prey to a zombie infestation. The news gets to folks more quickly and effectively through various blogger types, Georgia and her brother Shaun being a fairly successful team have signed on to caravan with a presidential hopeful during his campaign. Along the trail this team of bloggers will fall into the middle of what could be the largest most dangerous political conspiracy ever and it will put all their lives at risk.
Quite a large chunk of the beginning of the book is focused on world building told by both Gerogia's narrative and also by the occasional blog post. It was an interesting approach to writing. The world Grant creates is both fascinating and terrifying. She has put a ton of detail into this futuristic danger zone filled with brain eaters and I love what she has come up with.
Another aspect I enjoyed was the character development. There is a large cast here but it was easy to get a clear grasp of who everyone was. I had heard rumblings about the relationship between Georgia and Shaun being odd and turning some people off, but I didn't feel that. It is a very dependent relationship, they rely on each other for everything (literally) but it never felt anything other than a very close sibling bonding to me. Taken into context of what this world is like, I think it may be natural. I actually enjoyed the relationships all the bloggers had with each other.
Without giving any direct spoilers, I have to say that the bravery Grant showed at the end of Feed was amazing. Not many writers would take the leap she did, straight into the deep end of the pool, it was utterly unexpected and pure genius.
What I did not enjoy was the pacing and the lack of action. This zombie ride is a slow moving vehicle with little flesh eating outbreaks and honestly, that just isn't what I typically look for in Z books. I like the gore and blasting of brains. It's not to say that Feed wasn't a well written and enjoyable read. It is, but it isn't what I thought I was going to get.
I think I will still continue with the series, I will just be hoping Shaun will be doing a lot more poking of zombies with sticks, because that would rock!
"Great book !!"
At first I was disapointed to find out it was a "zombie"book.I dont usually like such books. But this one was different,well writen with lots of action.But it is a well thought out story that includes politics,medical,spys and the internet. It is a different kind of book.I thought the narration was fine.I didnt notice a lisp.
Post apocalyptic listener with some thrillers mixed in. Follow me on twitter at @drewsant
"Zombie Book and Mystery Book all in one"
Feed is part normal zombie book, part political mystery. It has some of the zombie attach scenes you would normally see, but also does a good job of showing the way people live with the zombies, and what they must do on a day to day basis in this new normal. The story has good character development and a lot of action, excitement and intrigue to keep you coming back for more. Being the first of a trilogy there is always the chance that the author won't fully wrap up the story to keep their readers coming back for more books, but this did a good job of completing the story allowing it to be stand alone if you don't want to go on.
A unique aspect of this book was a male and female characters resulting in two performers. I think this made it more realistic and really enjoyable. They both do a great job.
I greatly enjoyed this book.
"Excellent Read"
This is a very fun book, in the old timey zombie-as-metaphor style. The book is clever, the main characters are likable, and the primary reader is both energetic, emotive, and able to portray many different characters effectively. I don't know why they bothered to hire a second reader for the two or three small paragraphs he ended up reading, but from his admittedly brief appearances, he's not bad either.
This is a very interesting, and very unsettling, take on the zombie mythos. It represents a look into a world where threat is ongoing, and while it doesn't offer much in the way of scares, the constant grinding paranoia of everyone in the book (you must take blood tests to go inside, you must take blood tests to go outside, you must take blood tests to enter different parts of buildings etc. etc. etc.) actually increases the tension as the book continues. You realize the lengths that people have gone through to protect themselves, and ultimately, how useless they all are.
Many zombie stories end up being pretty silly, but this one, both as a critique of fear-culture, and as a story in its own right, is something very interesting, and very worthwhile.
If you're interested in either blogging, or zombies, or what happens when you mix the two of them together and shake vigorously, give this book a read.
"Don't Believe The Dissenters!"
I almost didn't get this book because of a few reviews. First, that the dialogue was unbelievable & forced and Second, that it was Anti-Christian. Neither of these are true. The dialogue is intelligent and not at all forced. Maybe the reviewer doesn't know anyone who speaks this way, but I do.
As for it being anti-Christian. This isn't true. It's anti-extremist! The bad guy is someone who uses his misinterpretation of religion as a justification do horrendous things. It in no way protrays all religion or Christians as bad, evil, or misguided.
That being said, this isn't your typical Zombie book. The Zombies are very much a side story. It takes place 20+ years after the initial outbreak and is a picture of what society would be like with this constant threat. I found it highly enjoyable, but probably not for the person who wants nonstop zombie action.
"A story of journalistic integrity and zombies."
It's nice to read something championing journalistic integrity while managing to convey new wrinkles into the zombie genre. Fun and interesting mix. The blog format intermixed with first person narrative is a unique POV and offered some unexpected layered storytelling.
"Predictable, lacks action, but well-researched"
Given Feed's good rating, I expected a lot more. I found myself getting pretty bored and I LOVE zombie novels.
The authors did an excellent job researching this book and painting an interesting post-apocolyptic world. But it seemed like 95% of the book was describing the world. While interesting and clearly creative, 12-14 hours of 'description' gets old and boring.
I thought the action scenes were rushed and in short supply.
I feel like I am pretty good at predicting surprises, so predictability doesn't bother me all that much. But the outcomes were pretty predictable.
I really liked the dynamic set up between the two main characters, siblings Georgia and Shawn.
But I think the inner-dialogue of the main character (Georgia Mason), was distracting, disruptive, and very repetitive. She repeats the importance of her journalistic integrity over and over and over and over and over. I was willing to give the authors the benefit of the doubt, assuming this was to bring out the unique personal values of the main character, but then she brings it up during action scenes with zombies and others chasing her. It just got annoying.
And I realize blood testing machines are a ubiquitous part of the new world, but how many different ways can we describe a needle prick, antiseptic spray, and red/green light? After a while I really wanted the authors to come up with some short-hand for that process, especially since the book lacked action.
In short, not enough action, way too much describing.
"A book for teenagers."
I had hoped this book would be gripping with scary bits.
After listening to this book for about two hours I stopped it and preferred to sit in silence on my commute to work.
It seemed like listening to Buffy the Vampire Slayer or a teenage girls adventure.
I tried sticking with it, and I'm sure it gets better but it just wasn't my thing.
The author of this book basicly attempts to mesh together political intrigue with an undead scenario. The final result is a predictable, unengaging story of what can only be discribed as dull. It's attempts to garner the feel of sociopolitical intrigue fails quite miserably and ultimately leads to a dull cascade of cookie cutter events to a backdrop of a near miss undead apocalypse.
"THE best zombie trilogy ever!!!!"
Loved it!!! Now where are the next two books, Audible??? You are letting the side down. more Sean and Georgia Mason please
Complete tosh. I tried to stick at this audio book (grimacing all the way) and could not. Survive about tree quarters of it. If you can best that then you win!! The Americans should uses this book at guantanamo bay to soften up the terrorist. Feed: The Newsflesh Trilogy, Book 1 I hope this doesn't imply there is a 2nd and 3rd one the way. Mira Grant please don't haven't you done enough.
"Great story, medicore narration, appalling accents"
No. Actors really should be able to perform a passable accent - their English accents were some way south of say, Dick van Dyke's performance in Mary Poppins and detracted hugely from the story in Mahir's chapters. They did provide some laughs though!
The writing, which takes a typical zombie-era scenario and presents it in an original way.
"A must have"
Loved this book, hard to stop listening too. Story takes what appears to be a boring turn but never became boring just more enthralling
"Jesse Bernstein let it down once again."
I've read this book, and decided to re-live the story via audiobook. Paula Christensen was a fantastic narrator, but Jesse Bernstein just sounded like he was joking around with his mates in the recording booth. His narration has stopped me purchasing a different audiobook, but I was hoping perhaps he would be different in a different story. Sadly not.
"Great novel, slightly unusual narration."
I have all the Newsflesh series in paperback format and love them to bits, hence why I picked up the audiobook. Generally the narration here is good, although the attempts by the narrators at an English accent caused me to burst out laughing in the middle of the street. It sounds like some combination of Australian, South African and London urban. Only recommended if this doesn't bother you.
"Not your typical zombie apocalupse."
These days, novels of the zombie apocalypse are a-dime-a-dozen. This novel stands out due to its somewhat unusual premise: we survived the zombie apocalypse, civilisation intact. The original rising occurred 20 years ago (the novel is set in 2040ish), and although humanity survived, zombies continue to provide a threat to daily life. Coming from a scientific background, I was fascinated by the exposition of the virology, the various syndromes that survivors suffered: live virus sequestered in your eyeballs, for a start. The politics of the book also provide a variety of solutions to the novel dangers, moose bites as an example.
I felt the characters were distinct and believable, and although the plot was a little thin in places, the constant inventiveness more than made up for it. I am greatly looking forward to the second installment in the series.
"A great mixture of politics, zombies and blogging"
All round great listen, with mystery and suspense. It has a gripping story line and it makes you want to listen more and more. The only bad thing is, it may has a little bit too much swearing for some audience, but that is my opinion.

Product Review: GFiLANguard NSS 8
Discuss in Forums {mos_smf_discuss:Wilson}
By Brian Wilson, CCNA, CCSE, CCAI, MCP, Network+, Security+, JNCIA
I recently was asked to test drive GFiLANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) 8.0 and write my findings. GFi describes LANguard as having the ability to "check your network for possible security vulnerabilities by scanning your entire network for missing security patches, service packs, open shares, open ports, unused user accounts and more." Having known about this product for quite some time but never getting my hands on it, I was excited as I had the perfect idea for testing its described capabilities.
I immediately contacted the Director of a local non-profit organization, and asked if they would be willing to be my test bed for this network security auditing tool. After explaining my intentions, they were very happy to open their doors and be a gracious host. And, considering that GFi was kind enough to extend the temporary licenses to a full year for every copy of the software for the non-profit, they were thrilled to be selected as our site of choice.
To give you a brief background on the non-profit, they are a home for disadvantaged youth and orphans while also providing family services to children. They have a main location with 200 workstations, 8 servers with varying duties, and 5 remote offices connected to the main location via Layer 2 VPNs. Due to being a non-profit where funding is very limited, their team consists of only two Network Administrators. Since I have assisted them in the past with lots of volunteered time and services, I was very aware of the network design and need for help. This network was pieced together over time with whatever was on hand or donated, so there are many different versions of Windows and other OSs on the network. Also, the remote offices are hundred of miles from the main campus, so patch and update management is done when time permits. The two current Network Administrators are self-taught and mainly care about the mission of their organization and not the little money they get paid. Now that I have painted a picture of this network and how it is maintained, I will roll into how the LANguard software was tested and received by the local staff on their network.
First of all, I decided to copy the install file for LANguard on one of their older file servers. Without software distributions systems in place, placing LANguard on a central host provided easy access for all of the workstations and, because of the good network connectivity, made for an efficient way for all machines to get up to speed.
The install was very easy and has an attendant service for scheduled scans and patch management that accepts domain admin account credentials. This will definitely come in handy down the road as an Active Directory rollout is currently in progress. It also has the ability to generate reports and store the results in many formats (MS Access/SQL) and SMTP for email notifications. Once you have everything loaded the software updates itself to keep your scanner current. There is not much left out of this high-end security management software package. I was very impressed and the clients were excited to see all of its functionality. At this point I will also add that GFi has very good documentation freely available on their site to assist you with installation and implementation. They also have paid, full support if further help is required.
Once we had the settings ready for the basic scan based on OVAL and the SANS Top 20 vulnerability database, we were set to see this tool work.
The scans went well and were fairly quick despite the warning on the screen shot above. It was nice to see that the older Windows systems were found and scanned, but one thing to note is that the Patch Management tool only works on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Exchange 2000 & 2003/ MS SQL Server 2000 – 2003.
With the first scan done, there was a big wake up call on what needed to be done on the network and where they stood on getting their environment under control. The GUI was very easy to understand. The fact that the vulnerabilities listed had links and information on the bug-trap and fixes helped to further understand the true threats to the network. With the scan results saved, we now have a baseline from which to work and a way to gauge our progress on securing the network.
One thing that can be said for this product is that there are a lot of "bells & whistles" that make it even more useful than a standard scanning product. With too many features to cover in-depth, we did find that several other functions came in handy enough to mention such as the ability to filter the data to audit or collect only the information you desire. It was a big time-saver to have over 18 preset filters. You can filter by Vulnerabilities [high, medium, & low security], Missing Patches, Open [ports & shares], Auditing/Password policies, and many more. We also found the installed applications scan to be very useful to locate unauthorized software and warez on the client computers. This is a must scan for liability issues and, with the dangers that warez software can present, it is important to know what is installed and where.
Last but certainly not least, I found the patch management functions to be very well done. These features are easier to use then some of the Microsoft tools and applications that I have used in the past to not only maintain but also to push patches to the client machines. Pushing becomes crucial as users and remote devices don't always play by the rules. This alone made the software worth the price of admission, but that's something you have to decide for your own organization. Good thing GFi helps in this regard as well by providing a free evaluation copy of LANGuard for you to try before you buy. Simply visit their site, http://www.gfi.com/, and you're off and running.
Information is power especially when overhauling a network infrastructure. When the current administrators for our non-profit test site were hired, they inherited one big workgroup with tons of shares. As much as we'd hate to admit it, they're certainly not the only ones facing such an issue. With the help of LANguard they are starting to see how best to focus their precious few resources. This enables them to balance the workload from a network management perspective, properly plot a course for what needs to be done right now as well as maintain their security stature moving into the future. Not bad for a single product.
Having used many different commercial security scanning tools in the past, I was pleasantly surprised with GFiLANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) 8. Cost may be an issue for some, but, because of its overall usefulness and ease of use, I give it an 8 out of 10 and an Ethical Hacker Network Recommendation.

Pacific Southwest, Region 9

EBMUD Helps Schools Reduce Health
Risks from Mercury Exposure
East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) was recognized by EPA for its innovative pilot program to help local schools and colleges remove dangerous mercury thermometers and similar devices from school buildings. The program is a unique partnership among EPA, EBMUD and Bay Area Schools to prevent exposure to mercury and avoid costly clean-ups of mercury spills.
EBMUD joined EPA's National Partnership for Environmental Priorities (NPEP) in 2005 with a goal of collecting 25 pounds of mercury per year from educational institutions in its service area. Over the last five years EBMUD collected a total of 497 pounds of mercury, greatly exceeding its program goals and significantly reducing public and environmental health risks from mercury in the process.
Mercury is a highly toxic metal which effects the brain development of children and is often found in school science labs in older thermometers, barometers, switches, thermostats and other devices. Just a few drops of mercury can contaminate thousands of gallons of water, cause serious environmental damage and persist in the environment for many years. EBMUD has put in place several programs to prevent mercury pollution from getting into water treatment plants or into San Francisco Bay.
Mercury presents special dangers in schools because children are often attracted to the silvery liquid and are unaware of the serious and even fatal health effects that can result from handling it. Schools often find it difficult to eliminate mercury because of safe handling concerns as well as the high cost involved in safe disposal.
On June 22, 2010, EPA Waste Division Director Jeff Scott presented EBMUD with a plaque recognizing its achievements as an NPEP partner and for the public health benefits that resulted. The program developed by EBMUD can be used as a model for other wastewater/utility districts around the country to help educational institutions reduce mercury and protect students and teachers as well as the environment.

Your Excellency: The Committee to Protect Journalists is concerned about threats and attacks against journalists in the run-up to general elections scheduled for January 23, 2007. We urge you to do everything in your power as leader of the interim government to ensure that assaults on the press are adequately investigated and punished, and that journalists are free to report on the election campaign without fear of retribution.
Dangerous Assignments | Bangladesh, Colombia, Georgia, Iraq, Philippines, Russia
Your Excellency: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is writing to request information about the status of the police investigation into the alleged kidnapping of Shukur Hossain, crime reporter for the Khulna-based newspaper Anirban. Hossain, who has been missing since July 5, is feared dead. At around midnight on July 5, a group of about 35 armed men kidnapped Hossain from his home in Ula, a village near the town of Dumuria in Khulna District. Police suspect the assailants belong to the outlawed Biplobi Communist Party, one of several guerrilla groups active in the southwest.
Attacks on the Press | Bangladesh
The year began with a brutal attack on a young reporter that shocked a press corps already hardened by death threats, harassment, and assaults. On January 25, the private army of a local politician in the southeastern Feni District, Joynal Hazari, beat Tipu Sultan, a correspondent for the United News of Bangladesh, with iron rods and wooden bats, crushing the bones in his hands, arms, and legs so that he would never be able to work as a reporter again. The reporter was attacked for his writing on Hazari's abuse of power.

Nueva York, 3 de enero de 2002 -- Un total de 37 periodistas fueron asesinados en todo el mundo como resultado directo de su labor en el 2001, un brusco incremento en relación con el año 2000, cuando 24 fueron asesinados, según las investigaciones del Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas (CPJ, por sus siglas en inglés). Por lo menos 25 de ellos fueron asesinados, casi todos con impunidad.
El dramático aumento se debe principalmente a la guerra en Afganistán, donde ocho periodistas murieron cumpliendo su deber al cubrir la campaña militar encabezada por los Estados Unidos, y un noveno periodista murió de heridas que recibió en ese país hace dos años. Este es el mayor saldo de víctimas que se haya registrado en un solo país desde 1999, cuando 10 periodistas fueron asesinados en Sierra Leona.
Your Excellency: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is greatly alarmed by the frequency and severity of violent attacks against journalists in Bangladesh, and urges your government to take immediate action to ensure that these crimes are prosecuted vigorously.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Should this series happen, it might begin in January of 2014.
Rumor is that no Star Wars comic stories will be published in 2014. So this title may have stopped with its 4th story arc and we will learn no more about the Dawn of the Jedi that leads to the great schism and exile of the Dark Jedi who could become the first Dark Lords of the Sith.
Unless Disney does it - and why wouldn't they?
But it would be under a different title more than likely. I hope Jan Duursema will still illustrate it and John Ostrander will still write it!

AT four o'clock the next afternoon the German rode across the plain, returning from his search for the lost sheep. He rode slowly, for he had been in the saddle since sunrise and was somewhat weary, and the heat of the afternoon made his horse sleepy as it picked its way slowly along the sandy road. Every now and then a great red spider would start out of the karroo on one side of the path and run across to the other, but nothing else broke the still monotony. Presently, behind one of the highest of the milk-bushes that dotted the roadside, the German caught sight of a Kaffir woman, seated there evidently for such shadow as the milk-bush page: 127 might afford from the sloping rays of the sun. The German turned the horse's head out of the road. It was not his way to pass a living creature without a word of greeting. Coming nearer, he found it was no other than the wife of the absconding Kaffir herd. She had a baby tied on her back by a dirty strip of red blanket; another strip hardly larger was twisted round her waist, for the rest her black body was naked. She was a sullen, ill-looking woman, with lips hideously protruding.
The German questioned her as to how she came there. She muttered in broken Dutch that she had been turned away. Had she done evil? She shook her head sullenly. Had she had food given her? She grunted a negative, and fanned the flies from her baby. Telling the woman to remain where she was, he turned his horse's head to the road and rode off at a furious pace.
"Hard-hearted! cruel! Oh, my God! Is this the way? Is this charity?"page: 128
"Yes, yes, yes," ejaculated the old man as he rode on; but, presently, his anger began to evaporate, his horse's pace slackened, and by the time he had reached his own door he was nodding and smiling.
Dismounting quickly, he went to the great chest where his provisions were kept. Here he got out a little meal, a little mealies, a few roaster-cakes. These he tied up in three blue handkerchiefs, and putting them into a sail-cloth bag, he strung them over his shoulders. Then he looked circumspectly out at the door. It was very bad to be discovered in the act of giving; it made him red up to the roots of his old grizzled hair. No one was about, however, so he rode off again. Beside the milk-bush sat the Kaffir woman still—like Hagar, he thought, thrust out by her mistress in the wilderness to die. Telling her to loosen the handkerchief from her head, he poured into it the contents of his bag. The woman tied it up in sullen silence.page: 129
"You must try and get to the next farm," said the German.
The woman shook her head; she would sleep in the field.
The German reflected. Kaffir women were accustomed to sleep in the open air; but then, the child was small, and after so hot a day the night might be chilly. That she would creep back to the huts at the homestead when the darkness favoured her, the German's sagacity did not make evident to him. He took off the old brown salt-and-pepper coat, and held it out to her. The woman received it in silence, and laid it across her knee. "With that they will sleep warmly; not so bad. Ha, ha!" said the German. And he rode home, nodding his head in a manner that would have made any other man dizzy.
"I wish he would not come back to-night," said Em, her face wet with tears.
"It will be just the same if he comes back to-morrow," said Lyndall.page: 130
The two girls sat on the step of the cabin weeping for the German's return. Lyndall shaded her eyes with her hand from the sunset light.
"There he comes," she said, "whistling 'Ach Jerúsalem du schöne' so loud I can hear him from here."
"Perhaps he has found the sheep."
"Found them!" said Lyndall. "He would whistle just so if he knew he had to die to-night."
"You look at the sunset, eh, chickens?" the German said, as he came up at a smart canter. "Ah, yes, that is beautiful!" he added, as he dismounted, pausing for a moment with his hand on the saddle to look at the evening sky, where the sun shot up long flaming streaks, between which and the eye thin yellow clouds floated. "Ei! you weep?" said the German, as the girls ran up to him.
Before they had time to reply the voice of Tant' Sannie was heard.page: 131
"You child, of the child, of the child of a Kaffir's dog, come here!"
The German looked up. He thought the Dutch-woman, come out to cool herself in the yard, called to some misbehaving Kaffir. The old man looked round to see who it might be.
"You old vagabond of a praying German, are you deaf?"
Tant' Sannie stood before the steps of the kitchen; upon them sat the lean Hottentot, upon the highest stood Bonaparte Blenkins, both hands folded under the tails of his coat, and his eyes fixed on the sunset sky.
The German dropped the saddle on the ground.
"Bish, bish, bish! what may this be?" he said, and walked toward the house. "Very strange!"
The girls followed him: Em still weeping; Lyndall with her face rather white and her eyes wide open.
"And I have the heart of a devil, did you page: 132 say? You could run me through with a knife, could you?" cried the Dutch-woman. "I could not drive the Kaffir girl away because I was afraid of you, was I? Oh, you miserable rag! I loved you, did I? I would have liked to marry you, would I? would I? WOULD I?" cried the Boer-woman; "you cat's tail, you dog's paw! Be near my house to-morrow morning when the sun rises," she gasped, "my Kaffirs will drag you through the sand. They would do it gladly, any of them, for a bit of tobacco, for all your prayings with them."
"I am bewildered, I am bewildered, said the German, standing before her and raising his hand to his forehead; "I—I do not understand."
"Ask him, ask him!" cried Tant' Sannie, pointing to Bonaparte; "he knows. You thought he could not make me understand, but he did, he did, you old fool! I know enough English for that. You be here," shouted the Dutch-woman, page: 133 "when the morning star rises, and I will let my Kaffirs take you out and drag you, till there is not one bone left in your old body that is not broken as fine as bobotie-meat, you old beggar! All your rags are not worth that they should be thrown out onto the ash-heap," cried the Boer-woman; "but I will have them for my sheep. Not one rotten hoof of your old mare do you take with you; I will have her—all, all for my sheep that you have lost, you godless thing!"
The Boer-woman wiped the moisture from her mouth with the palm of her hand.
The German turned to Bonaparte, who still stood on the step absorbed in the beauty of the sunset.
"Do not address me; do not approach me, lost man," said Bonaparte, not moving his eye nor lowering his chin. "There is a crime from which all nature revolts; there is a crime whose name is loathsome to the human ear— that crime is yours; that crime is ingratitude. This page: 134 woman has been your benefactress; on her farm you have lived; after her sheep you have looked; into her house you have been allowed to enter and hold Divine service—an honour of which you were never worthy; and how have you rewarded her?—Basely, basely, basely!"
"But it is all false, lies and falsehoods. I must, I will speak," said the German, suddenly looking round bewildered. "Do I dream? Are you mad? What may it be?"
"Go, dog," cried the Dutchwoman; "I would have been a rich woman this day if it had not been for your laziness. Praying with the Kaffirs behind the kraal walls. Go, you Kaffir's dog!"
"But what then is the matter? What may have happened since I left?" said the German, turning to the Hottentot woman who sat upon the step.
She was his friend; she would tell him kindly the truth. The woman answered by a loud, ringing laugh.page: 135
"Give it him, old missis! Give it him!"
It was so nice to see the white man who had been master hunted down. The coloured woman laughed, and threw a dozen mealie grains into her mouth to chew.
All anger and excitement faded from the old man's face. He turned slowly away and walked down the little path to his cabin, with his shoulders bent; it was all dark before him. He stumbled over the threshold of his own well-known door.
Em, sobbing bitterly, would have followed him; but the Boer-woman prevented her by a flood of speech which convulsed the Hottentot, so low were its images.
"Come, Em," said Lyndall, lifting her small proud head, "let us go in. We will not stay to hear such language."
She looked into the Boer-woman's eyes. Tant' Sannie understood the meaning of the look if not the words. She waddled after them, and page: 136 caught Em by the arm. She had struck Lyndall once years before, and had never done it again, so she took Em.
"So you will defy me, too, will you, you Englishman's ugliness!" she cried, and with one hand she forced the child down, and held her head tightly against her knee; with the other she beat her face, first upon one cheek and then upon the other.
For one instant Lyndall looked on, then she laid her small fingers on the Boer-woman's arm. With the exertion of half its strength Tant' Sannie might have flung the girl back upon the stones. It was not the power of the slight fingers, tightly though they clinched her broad wrist—so tightly that at bedtime the marks were still there; but the Boer-woman looked into the clear eyes and at the quivering white lips, and with a half-surprised curse relaxed her hold. The girl drew Em's arm through her own.
"Move!" she said to Bonaparte, who stood in page: 137 the door; and he, Bonaparte the invincible, in the hour of his triumph, moved to give her place.
The Hottentot ceased to laugh, and an uncomfortable silence fell on all the three in the doorway.
Once in their room, Em sat down on the floor and wailed bitterly. Lyndall lay on the bed with her arm drawn across her eyes, very white and still.
"Hoo, hoo!" cried Em; "and they won't let him take the grey mare; and Waldo has gone to the mill. Hoo, hoo, and perhaps they won't let us go and say good-bye to him. Hoo, hoo, hoo!"
"I wish you would be quiet," said Lyndall without moving. "Does it give you such felicity to let Bonaparte know he is hurting you? We will ask no one. It will be supper-time soon. Listen,—and when you hear the clink of the knives and forks we will go out and see him.page: 138
Em suppressed her sobs and listened intently, kneeling at the door. Suddenly some one came to the window and put the shutter up.
"Who was that?" said Lyndall, starting.
"The girl, I suppose," said Em. "How early she is this evening!"
But Lyndall sprang from the bed and seized the handle of the door, shaking it fiercely. The door was locked on the outside. She ground her teeth.
"What is the matter?" asked Em.
The room was in perfect darkness now.
"Nothing," said Lyndall quietly; "only they have locked us in."
She turned, and went back to bed again. But ere long Em heard a sound of movement. Lyndall had climbed up into the window, and with her fingers felt the wood-work that surrounded the panes. Slipping down, the girl loosened the iron knob from the foot of the bedstead, and climbing up again, she broke with it every pane of glass page: 139 in the window, beginning at the top and ending at the bottom.
"What are you doing?" asked Em, who heard the falling fragments.
Her companion made her no reply; but with all her weight leaned on every little cross-bar, which cracked and gave way beneath her. Then she pressed with all her strength against the shutter. She had thought the wooden buttons would give way, but by the clinking sound she knew that the iron bar had been put across. She was quite quiet for a time. Clambering down, she took from the table a small one-bladed penknife, with which she began to peck at the hard wood of the shutter.
"What are you doing now?" asked Em, who had ceased crying in her wonder, and had drawn near.
"Trying to make a hole?" was the short reply.
"Do you think you will be able to?"page: 140
"No; but I am trying."
In an agony of suspense Em waited. For ten minutes Lyndall pecked. The hole was three-eighths of an inch deep—then the blade sprang into ten pieces.
"What has happened now?" Em asked, blubbering afresh.
"Nothing," said Lyndall. "Bring me my night-gown, a piece of paper, and the matches."
Wondering, Em fumbled about till she found them.
"What are you going to do with them," she whispered.
"Burn it down."
"But won't the whole house take fire and burn down too?"
"But will it not be very wicked?"
"Yes, very. And I don't care."
She arranged the night-gown carefully in the corner of the window, with the chips of the page: 141 frame about it. There was only one match in the box. She drew it carefully along the wall. For a moment it burnt up blue, and showed the tiny face with its glistening eyes. She held it carefully to the paper. For an instant it burnt up brightly, then flickered and went out. She blew the spark, but it died also. Then she threw the paper on to the ground, trod on it, and went to her bed, and began to undress.
Em rushed to the door, knocking against it wildly.
"Tant' Sannie! Tant' Sannie! Oh, let us out!" she cried. "Oh, Lyndall, what are we to do?"
Lyndall wiped a drop of blood off the lip she had bitten.
"I am going to sleep," she said. "If you like to sit there and howl till the morning, do. Perhaps you will find that it helps; I never heard that howling helped any one."page: 142
Long after, when Em herself had gone to bed and was almost asleep, Lyndall came and stood at her bedside.
"Here," she said, slipping a little pot of powder into her hand; "rub some on to your face. Does it not burn where she struck you?"
Then she crept back to her own bed. Long, long after, when Em was really asleep, she lay still awake, and folded her hands on her little breast, and muttered,—
"When that day comes, and I am strong, I will hate everything that has power, and help everything that is weak." And she bit her lip again.
The German looked out at the cabin door for the last time that night. Then he paced the room slowly and sighed. Then he drew out pen and paper, and sat down to write, rubbing his old grey eyes with his knuckles before he began.page: 143
page: 144
"You did not come to say good-bye to the old man. Might you? Ah, well, there is a land where they part no more, where saints immortal reign.
"I sit here alone, and I think of you. Will you forget the old man? When you wake to-morrow he will be far away. The old horse is lazy, but he has his stick to help him; that is three legs. He comes back one day with gold and diamonds. Will you welcome him? Well, we shall see. I go to meet Waldo. He comes back with the waggon; then he follows me. Poor boy! God knows. There is a land where all things are made right, but that land is not here.
"My little children, serve the Saviour; give your hearts to Him while you are yet young. Life is short.
"Nothing is mine, otherwise I would say, Lyndall, take my books, Em my stones. Now I say nothing. The things are mine; it is not righteous, God knows! But I am silent. Let it be. But I feel it, I must say I feel it.
"Do not cry too much for the old man. He
goes out to seek his fortune, and comes back with it in a bag, it may be.
"I love my children. Do they think of me? I am Old Otto, who goes out to seek his fortune.
Having concluded this quaint production, he put it where the children would find it the next morning, and proceeded to prepare his bundle. He never thought of entering a protest against the loss of his goods; like a child, he submitted, and wept. He had been there eleven years, and it was hard to go away. He spread open on the bed a blue handkerchief, and on it put one by one the things he thought most necessary and important—a little bag of curious seeds, which he meant to plant some day, an old German hymn-book, three misshapen stones that he greatly valued, a Bible, a shirt and two handkerchiefs; then there was room for nothing more. He tied up the bundle tightly and put it on a chair by his bed-side.page: 145
"That is not much; they cannot say I take much," he said, looking at it.
He put his knotted stick beside it, his blue tobacco bag and his short pipe, and then inspected his coats. He had two left—a moth-eaten over-coat and a black alpaca out at the elbows. He decided for the over-coat; it was warm, certainly, but then he could carry it over his arm and only put it on when he met some one along the road. It was more respectable than the black alpaca. He hung the great-coat over the back of the chair, and stuffed a hard bit of roaster-cake under the knot of the bundle, and then his preparations were completed. The German stood contemplating them with much satisfaction. He had almost forgotten his sorrow at leaving in his pleasure at preparing. Suddenly he started; an expression of intense pain passed over his face. He drew back his left arm quickly, and then pressed his right hand upon his breast.
"Ah, the sudden pang again," he said.page: 146
His face was white, but it quickly regained its colour. Then the old man busied himself in putting everything right.
"I will leave it neat. They shall not say I did not leave it neat," he said. Even the little bags of seeds on the mantel-piece he put in rows and dusted. Then he undressed and got into bed. Under his pillow was a little story-book. He drew it forth. To the old German a story was no story. Its events were as real and as important to himself as the matters of his own life. He could not go away without knowing whether that wicked Earl relented and whether the Baron married Emilina. So he adjusted his spectacles and began to read. Occasionally, as his feelings became too strongly moved, he ejaculated, "Ah, I thought so!—That was a rogue!—I saw it before!—I knew it from the beginning!" More than half-an-hour had passed when he looked up to the silver watch at the top of his bed.page: 147
"The march is long to-morrow; this will not do," he said, taking off his spectacles and putting them carefully into the book to mark the place. "This will be good reading as I walk along to-morrow," he added, as he stuffed the book into the pocket of the great-coat; "very good reading." He nodded his head and lay down. He thought a little of his own troubles, a good deal of the two little girls he was leaving, of the Earl, of Emilina, of the Baron; but he was soon asleep—sleeping as peacefully as a little child upon whose innocent soul sorrow and care cannot rest.
It was very quiet in the room. The coals in the fire-place threw a dull red light across the floor upon the red lions on the quilt. Eleven o'clock came, and the room was very still. One o'clock came. The glimmer had died out, though the ashes were still warm, and the room was very dark. The grey mouse, who had its hole under the tool-box, came out and sat on the sacks in page: 148 the corner; then, growing bolder, the room was so dark, it climbed the chair at the bedside, nibbled at the roaster-cake, took one bite quickly at the candle, and then sat on his haunches listening. It heard the even breathing of the old man, and the steps of the hungry Kaffir dog going his last round in search of a bone or a skin that had been forgotten; and it heard the white hen call out as the wild cat ran away with one of her brood, and it heard the chicken cry. Then the grey mouse went back to its hole under the tool-box, and the room was quiet. And two o'clock came. By that time the night was grown dull and cloudy. The wild cat had gone to its home on the kopje; the Kaffir's dog had found a bone, and lay gnawing it.
An intense quiet reigned everywhere. Only in her room the Boer-woman tossed her great arms in her sleep; for she dreamed that a dark shadow with outstretched wings fled slowly over page: 149 her house, and she moaned and shivered. And the night was very still.
But quiet as all places were, there was a quite peculiar quiet in the German's room. Though you strained your ear most carefully you caught no sound of breathing.
He was not gone, for the old coat still hung on the chair—the coat that was to be put on when he met any one; and the bundle and stick were ready for to-morrow's long march. The old German himself lay there, his wavy black hair just touched with grey thrown back upon the pillow. The old face was lying there alone in the dark, smiling like a little child's—oh, so peacefully. There is a stranger whose coming, they say, is worse than all the ills of life, from whose presence we flee away trembling; but he comes very tenderly sometimes. And it seemed almost as though Death had known and loved the old man, so gently it touched him. And how could it deal hardly page: 150 with him—the loving, simple, childlike old man?
So it smoothed out the wrinkles that were in the old forehead, and fixed the passing smile, and sealed the eyes that they might not weep again; and then the short sleep of time was melted into the long, long sleep of eternity.
"How has he grown so young in this one night?" they said when they found him in the morning.
Yes, dear old man; to such as you time brings no age. You die with the purity and innocence of your childhood upon you, though you die in your grey hairs.

Erectile Dysfunction, or What the Thunder Said (12.06.11)
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying --T.S. Eliot, What the Thunder Said
I think we're through with the Devil. On to the Tower of Destruction. This is an extremely important card, so huddle up close to the screen and turn up the volume. It has to do with human evil, or "to evil which does not come from the outside, but which certainly has its origin within the human soul" -- not from the body, which is an innocent bystander in man's vertical fall. Depending upon how you look at it, the fall has to do either with willfulness or ignorance, which leads to "illicit" or illegitimate knowledge, and separates us from the Creator. Either way -- i.e., by way of intellect or will -- human beings are exiled from the vertical and plunged into the horizontal.
Now, as UF explains, Genesis is set in a garden, which is a very different thing from a jungle -- which is completely wild -- or a desert -- which is more or less barren -- or a town -- which is a symbol of human invention, and where nothing grows spontaneously. (There is a pneumacosmic reason why the big cities are the main habitats of the Blue Meanies).
But a garden is what? It is a combination of vertical and horizontal energies, of planning and spontaneity. A beautiful garden, as the Frothy One can attest to, involves a harmonious combination of Spirit and Nature; of Spirit within nature, or Nature rising to Spirit. One thinks of Japanese gardens, which so transparently convey the supernatural within nature.
UF links this to the true mission and vocation of the Raccoon, which is "to cultivate and maintain the 'garden,' i.e. the world in a state of equilibrium and cooperation between Spirit and Nature" Coons are gardeners, not technicians (even if we do technical work). Unlike these modern excuses for gardeners, we do not merely "mow and blow." Rather, we cultivate and we maintain.
The Tower of Destruction symbolizes everything the garden is not. As UF explains, it comes about as a result of "the collective will of 'lower selves' to achieve the replacing of the 'true Self' of the celestial hierarchies and God with a superstructure of universal significance fabricated through the will." You could say that it's built prick by prick.
But the human will, alienated from spirit, cannot create anything of truly universal, or cosmic, significance. It can only create a tower, which is surely fated for the divine wrecking ball -- which is a mercy, never a punishment. For example, our scientistic jester is always kind or clueless enough to share his silly little towers with us, which we never fail to destroy at a glance. And yet, he still no doubt prefers to live amidst their haunted ruins.
For the Tower of Destruction teaches a law that is both general and universal, meaning that it "operates both on a small scale and on a grand scale, in individual biography as well as in that of mankind, and in the past, present and future equally." It is another one of those things in the Bible that didn't just happen once upon a time, but which happen every time. I read yesterday that the Pope had a prophecy of the present economic collapse over two decades ago, and who could say that he was wrong? That is what Towers do, i.e., collapse, whereas "the only solid reality is the word of God.'' Suffice it to say that the Big Three will not outlive the Trinity.
The fall of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy. --Finnegans Wake
Here is what eventually happens to imaginary Towers and to the people who live in them: the thunderbolt: "he who builds a 'tower' to replace revelation from heaven by what he himself has fabricated, will be blasted by a thunderbolt, i.e., he will undergo the humiliation of being reduced to his own subjectivity and to terrestrial reality" -- i.e., back to the ground (which, of course, has two very different meanings; there is nothing wrong with humbly living on the ground, for that is where one will find the ground of being).
This is the thing I don't understand about scientism. Surely the scientific materialist knows up front that his knowledge is provisional and relative, and that it will eventually be brought low by the thunderbolt, even if it is only the thunderbolt of a new scientific development. And yet, they fall in love with their cognitive McTowers and cling to them as if they are holy writ.
This was the real dispute between Galileo and the Church, between relative vs. absolute truth (however awkwardly handled by the Church, which has been absurdly overblown anyway by radical secularists; it is indeed one of their "founding myths"). Does the earth really revolve around the sun? No, not at all. Only from a relative position. From the standpoint of later scientific developments (i.e., relativity), Galileo has been transcended, and the Church is still here.
Besides, the geocentric theory remains intrinsically true, if looked at vertically. That is, the human being is indeed the "center of the cosmos," in that only he recapitulates and embodies all the vertical degrees of creation within himself. The light of Truth is infinitely more central than sunlight. What could be more obvious?
If your little tower is not mercifully blasted by the thunderbolt in this life, then it will be severely blasted upon your demise. Evidently, that is when you will have the opportunity to bear witness to the full extent of your folly. You won't even have to be judged by God. Rather, you will judge yourself, like a child who transitions from, say, Piaget's stage of concrete operations to formal operations, and can objectively look back on his previous mode of cognition because he has transcended it. When you transcend, its as if you move out of the old drafty tower and into a real mansion.
I remember interviewing an unsophisticated Spanish-speaking patient a number of years ago. He was chronicling his various complaints, but didn't have the word for "impotence." He struggled to convey his meaning, and eventually confided that my manhood has fallen.
Phall if you but will, rise you must: and none so soon either shall the pharce for the nunce come to a setdown secular phoenish. --Finnegans Wake
But with the erection of manmade towers, the thunderbolt is a mercy, depending upon what one does with it. Think of it as an extreme form of (?!), for example, in the experience of Paul on the road to Damascus. You might say that Saul the tower crumbled to the ground and became Paul the tree.
Much more to go. To be continued.
I sat upon the shore
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?
London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down --Eliot

Blogging platform Medium is now blocked in Malaysia, apparently in an effort to censor an investigative news outlet critical of the government. The Sarawak Report has mirrored its articles on Medium at least since its own site was blocked in mid-2015, when it published allegations of corruption.
Transparent and Participatory Processes Are Vital to Creating Copyright Rules that Work for Everyone
If copyright is to succeed in promoting the creation and dissemination of culture, then it needs to address the diverse needs of creators, fans, and critics. Copyright law achieves this in some jurisdictions through policies such as fair use, but more often than not it fails to address the concerns of anyone who isn't a copyright holder. Much of the blame for why copyright grows increasingly out of touch with how people experience culture lies with a lack of transparency in, and industry capture of, copyright policymaking.
Congressional Representatives grilled the parties responsible for the U.S. implementation of controversial changes to the Wassenaar Arrangement in a joint hearing before subcommittees of the House Oversight and Homeland Security Committees today. Witnesses included officials from the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of State, as well as representatives of the tech industry, including Symantec, Microsoft, VMWare, and the Information Technology Industry Council.
Xinjiang, home of the China's muslim Uighur minority, has long been the world's laboratory for Internet repression. Faced with widespread local unrest, and online debate, China has done everything it can to enforce its vision of the Net in the region, from imprisoning bloggers and online publishers, to quarantining the entire Xinjiang network from the rest of the Internet for over ten months in 2009. Nonetheless, Xinjiang residents still circumvent censorship and surveillance in the pursuit of privacy and free expression. They use virtual private networks and other methods to get around the Great Firewall.

text: So is this pretty much it for this year in terms of new figures? I mean the deluxe leia and bacta luke are on the horizion. And so is the FX7, imperial officer, mon montha. anaman and rebel fleet trooper, but after that there isnt thing else to look forward too? Nothing else rumored to be out. If I am not wrong, early this summer we had a lot to look forward to being released plus there was a list for upcoming figures. Now we have reached on whats left on the list but nothing else to look forward too.

Skiing and Snowboarding Safety Tips
It's mid-January and do you know what that means? Winter sports season is underway! Whether you frequent some of our beautiful Maine mountains such as Sugarloaf, Sunday River or Shawnee Peak, or out-of-state areas, skiing and snowboarding is a wonderful way to spend the cold Winter months. Skiing and snowboarding, like many other fun-filled pastimes, can be filled with potential risks if proper safety measures aren't taken. By following the below tips, you will ensure the safety of yourself and others out on the slopes:
- Wear appropriate cold weather clothing, and use a helmet for maximum protection - According to the National Ski Patrol, helmets can reduce your risk of a head injury by up 50 percent. For additional information on the many benefits of wearing a helmet while enjoying winter sports, please go here: http://www.livestrong.com/article/165906-why-you-should-always-wear-a-helmet-while-skiing/
- Ski or snowboard with a friend - Even if you are an advanced skier or boarder, it is always a good idea to have a partner there to look out for you. Select a designated meeting place at the bottom of the hill beforehand in case you are separated while on the trail.
- Know your limits - Be mindful of your skiing or snowboarding level and respect your limits. Choose trails that you know you can complete. Click here for an example of ski trail level symbols: http://www.sugarloaf.com/TheMountain/DailyReport/trail_lifts.html
- Observe slope etiquette - Remember that those in front of you or below you on the trails have the right of way. Prior to starting down a trail or merging onto a new trail, look uphill and yield to others.
- Follow instructions - Be vigilant of all signs and posted warnings on the mountain. Be sure to keep away from closed trails and other "Do Not Enter" areas.
- Know how to use the lifts - Prior to using any chair lifts on the mountain, be aware of how to load, ride and unload the lift safely.
- Obtain important safety contact information - Carry a reliable communication device while on the mountain, such as a walkie talkie, and know how to contact Ski Patrol should you need their services.
- Try to prevent altitude sickness - If skiing or snowboarding at particularly high elevation (those that are over 8,000 feet) resorts, altitude sickness can occur. Be sure to stay hydrated, load up on a carb-heavy diet (carbohydrates require less oxygen to metabolize), be careful about overexerting yourself and be vigilant of any symptoms that may pop up.
Interested in testing your skiing/snowboarding safety knowledge? The National Ski Patrol offers a Snow Smarts Safety IQ Quiz: https://www.nsp.org/slopesafety/slopesafetyquiz.aspx
Here's to a winter season full of fresh powder and a safe and enjoyable time on the mountain!

Description The California sea hare also known as the California sea slug, scientific name Aplysia californica, is a species of sea slug, specifically a sea hare, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the sea hare family, Aplysiidae.
The California sea hare can be very large - the maximum recorded length is seventy-five cm (thirty inches) when crawling and thus fully extended, although most adult specimens are half this size or smaller.
A closely related species, Aplysia vaccaria, the black sea hare, can grow to be larger still.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows.
Range California.

Yesterday, Path launched version 4.0 of its app. Version 4 is an incremental improvement over version 3 and there is now a new standalone messaging app.
Path is supposedly doing alright, growing from 1.5 million DAUs at the beginning of the year to 4 million. A TechCrunch article further states that:
Southeast Asia is now its biggest market, with the U.S. coming second, but Path is also seeing some user growth from the Middle East.
While TechCrunch will readily accept Path implying it's popular in South East Asia, data from App Annie shows that it's really just Indonesia.
I spoke to a couple of friends in Indonesia on why they use Path. The country has distinct characteristics that make Path a useful product there — perhaps uniquely — but that usefulness isn't in messaging as the company believes.
It would be a mistake for Path to extrapolate too much from Indonesia into a company-wide bet. Though I suppose they have to go somewhere.

"A smile relieves a heart that grieves"
- Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
As you know this skill is beneficial later on in transition and advanced training, as it makes it less of a fight to handle a dog that has already picked up a bird, back and through a patch of cover or water that he has flared or avoided
To me it just looks like your teaching him to be a bank runner.
Why would you not cast him back into to the water on the Right
or left pile return ? Why would you need to handle ( cast ) a dog on a return throw obstacles ?
Why would you not cast the dog from the right pile back into the water to the left pile then call him back before he exited the left bank. I'm just trying to understand.
That is some excellent dog work. Great job with that pup.
Yes but why do you want him to run the bank on the return?You eventually have to let the dog get out of the water, and let the dog know it is OK to get out of the water
I just don't see the need to handle a dog on the return with a bird in his mouth or cast a dog on a pile that's not there .
I'm just trying to understand I'm trying to get it
As to handling the dog with a bird in his mouth, reread the last part of what I said in post 13. If you still don't get it feel free to call me {660-886-6538}and I'll try to explain its various uses in future training. You are also welcome to come train with us sometime, as I'm not too far from Denton
Marc Healey
The reason you teach the dog to "swim by" you with the bumper in his mouth is so that you install the tools to be able to communicate to the dog NOT to run the bank.
If this is your first exposure to "swim by" it is understandable that you'd wonder about it. If you study any of the popular programs, you are likely to find Swim by in there and you will see some variations of this drill shown in the videos posted. Keep in mind that this thread has only 2 sessions posted.
I think I get what you were thinking about the comment that the dog gets to "run the bank". You are probably referencing the part about the dog completing the swim-by, then exiting and running around to the boss. Some trainers will have an exit "runway" on dry land. They will require that the dog exit after the swimby, then continue running on dry land on the same line until they give the dog "permission" or a cue to go ahead and come on over. Theoretically, if you had enough real estate on the exit, you could let the dog keep running on the exit line until he was far enough out that he would run a straight line back to you and not hit water....but I think most trainers find that it's not necessary to get that precise.
Again, the swimby, including the dog being cast to "swim by" the trainer, bumper already in mouth, is what helps install your ability to tell the dog NOT to exit early when he/she wants to in later training sessions.
Make any sense?

OXFORD – The names in the box score will be a little different, but the name across the jerseys remains he same.
Ole Miss and Texas A&M met in College Station in an NCAA regional last June. This weekend the Aggies, with some key players missing from last year's team, faces the Rebels in Oxford, the first home SEC weekend for Ole Miss.
Game times are tonight at 6:30, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
Texas A&M is only 15-7 overall but opened conference play with a home sweep of Georgia.
Neither Ole Miss (20-2, 2-1 SEC) nor A&M played non-conference competition during the week.
The series will feature the top two hitters in the SEC in Ole Miss catcher Stuart Turner (.474) and Texas A&M's Mikey Reynolds (.458).
Reynolds was a starter in the regional. Many of his teammates were not.
"Yeah, but this is a program that was in the World Series just a couple of years ago. They do a terrific job," Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said.
Pitching, particularly from the bullpen, has been a big part of the fast start as Ole Miss has climbed to No. 6 in the rankings.
It could get stronger as sophomores Chris Ellis and Hawtin Buchanan and freshman Jacob Waguespack continue the road back from injury.
Ellis pitched in the TCU series with an abdominal injury that hasn't fully healed. Buchanan and Waguespack are battling tendinitis.
Buchanan could pitch next week. Waguespack is a little behind him.
Ellis could possibly pitch a little this weekend.
In his absence sophomore Sam Smith has compiled a 2-0 record with a 2.49 earned run average in 21.2 innings.
Like Texas A&M, Ole Miss is without key producers from the last meeting.
The season began with questions of how the Rebels would improve their run production missing a .380 hitter in Alex Yarbrough and their top home-run hitters in Matt Snyder and Zach Kirksey.
While long balls are fewer Turner has helped fill that void, and others are hitting better after a slow start.
The Rebels are fourth in the league in hitting at .299 and in runs scored at 144.
"We've had stints where a number of guys haven't swung it as well, but some other guys have swung it better. We've been able to hit-and-run, to bunt at certain times," Bianco said. "The biggest thing is we've been terrific with runners in scoring position, especially the big two-out hits."

China's manufacturing activity is growing–just not fast enough to get investors to pull the trigger.
Today saw the release of both the official purchasing managers' index and HSBC's and Markit's version of the PMI. Both showed increases from the previous month. The official number jumped to 50.9 in March, from 50.1 in February; the HSBC/Markit figure hit 51.6, up from 50.4.
Investors, however, were less than enthused, as China's Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index fell 0.1%. U.S. investors were even less enthused. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) has dropped 0.9% to 36.59, while the iShares MSCI China Index ETF (MCHI) has fallen 0.8% to $44.94. Market Vectors China ETF (PEK), which tracks shares available primarily to Chinese citizens, has dropped 1.8% to $34.10.
Were the PMIs that bad? Not according to Hongbin Qu, HSBC's chief economist for China and its co-head of Asian economic research. In a press release, he wrote:
China's recovery continues, mainly driven by the gradually improving domestic demand conditions. The decline in input prices suggests a modest pace of demand recovery and moderating inflationary pressures. This, plus the lingering external headwinds, implies the Beijing policy makers should keep a relative accommodative policy stance in place.
Miller Tabak's Andrew Wilkinson breaks it down further:
Both government and private barometers of the health of the manufacturing sector in the world's second-largest economy resumed an advance likely punctuated around the time of the Chinese New Year festivities when companies typically close down. The government measure advanced to an 11-month high of 50.9 from 50.1 although missing an expected rise to 51.2. The HSBC index, which in November left behind a year-long period of contraction, advanced to 51.6 from 50.4. Inside the government reading, the pace of output expansion rose (up to 52.7 from 51.2) while the index for new orders advanced to 52.3 from 50.1. Also encouraging was a return to expansion mode for the index of new export orders (50.9 from 47.3). Import orders contracted at a slightly slower pace in March than in February. The employment gauge rose to 49.8 from 47.6 indicating that the recovery maybe gaining sufficient steam to boost hiring within months.
So why the bearish takeaway? Perhaps it's the news that Beijing and Shanghai taking steps to slow their real-estate markets. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Under the new curbs, Beijing will limit single people registered to live locally to one home purchase if they don't now have a home and increase the minimum down payment for all buyers of second homes. Meanwhile, Shanghai said it would raise the down payment and mortgage rates for second-home buyers.
It should also be noted that the Journal's article about property curbs is still up on its homepage. The story about China's manufacturing is not.
Or it could simply be that investors have soured on China and the PMIs haven't done enough to change the bid picture. In an interview this morning, Ned Davis Research's Tony Welch said that while the PMIs are a good sign, he needs more evidence before getting bullish on Chinese stocks, including more of them participating in rallies and better performance from the real-estate sector.
"The PMIs are encouraging," Welch said. "But we're still cautious."

This little snippet from today on ESPN.com gave me goose bumps...
The Tigers and Crimson Tide have their fair share of skill players, but the real battle will be in the trenches. Inside the fog of clashing limbs and colliding muscle is where the game will be won, as it always has been with these two teams. Alabama-LSU isn't a matchup of featherweights. It's Ali-Frazier, Tyson-Holyfield. It's heavyweights going right at one another, and it's arguably the best collection of maulers college football has to offer, with as many as 10 future NFL linemen between the two schools.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
I was at the game in Tuscaloosa last year, and there was no place on that field for the faint of heart. Particularly along the line of scrimmage. Two really good defensive football teams making it very tough on opposing offenses.
You can have your 70-63 games. Give me the kind of grown man football that we will see come 7 Saturday night. Win or lose, I can't wait.
Is LSU really 35-1 at night at home in BR (read the stat on Phil Steele)..and who was the lone loss to and when did it happen ?...its an awesome/impressive stat if it is true,cant think of many other sports where a team has that kind of dominance at a particular venue

That's actually Miles Record at Night in death Valley.
LSU's record goes beyond that, I can't find it for some reason.
Also I think the only time in the last decade or so that LSU has lost @ night @ Home those Teams went on to win the SHIP! Flordia 08' and Bama 09'. I'll have to find the stats! lol
it's fun to look at at.
Copied from TigerDroppings;
47-1 since 02' loss to Bama. That's when the tradition seem to come alive.LSU Tigers are 47-1 since the 0-31 loss to Alabama on 11/16/2002, here are all of the Saturday Night Games in Tiger Stadium, with a kickoff of 5 pm (CST) or later.

I also seen a stat that showed how many of thier home night games were cupcake games. It was a rediculous amount that take up a large amount of that home night game record. It also showed that alot of there bigger games are during the day . Mainly because of the tv contracts and having to appease to that. None the less, over the last decade it doesn't matter who they play or where. The bengal tigers just dont lose many games. Ought to be a great game come sat night!!
This game reminds me of the 2010 Game

Pakistan: Tackling a nutrition crisis in southern Sindh
A severe drought and limited access to health services has led to a nutrition crisis in the Tharparkar region of south-east Pakistan. This year alone, more than 200 people including many children have died due to malnutrition-related causes in the region. An estimated 44 per cent of children under five are suffering from chronic malnutrition.
To combat the problem, international organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Food Programme and UNICEF, FAO and WFP have appealed for US$12 million to implement a year-long food security project to address the long-standing nutrition needs of over 1.3 million people in the region who do not have enough to eat.
These resources will help the organizations establish more community-based malnutrition treatment sites, enhance emergency health services, build and rehabilitate water harvesting structures, and improve livelihood support in affected areas.
"I hope our donors will be as generous as they have been in the past and continue to support the Pakistani people, whose courage and resilience is outstanding even during times of tragedy and crises," said the UN Deputy Humanitarian Chief, Kyung-wha Kang, who concluded her first mission to Pakistan this week calling on the international community to continue supporting life-saving humanitarian efforts.
Crop failures and loss of livestock compound food insecurity
The pain is still raw for 45-year-old Mewaha, a shepherd from Tharparkar, who recently lost his three-year-old son to malnutrition.
"He was sick for ten days. I could not afford the PKR1,500 (US$15) to hire a vehicle to take him to hospital, much less pay for any of the medical expenses. The home remedies we tried just did not work," Mewaha said with tears in his eyes.
Crop failures and livestock loss due to disease is having a major impact on poor communities in rural areas of Tharparkar. A recent outbreak of sheep pox devastated herds across the region and exacerbated problems for families who rely on the sheep for work and food.
"I had a small herd of 20 sheep. We lived a comfortable life until the sheep started to die," Mewaha said. He lost 14 sheep to the sheep pox endemic, which left the remaining six either too sick or weak to sell.
Urgent need for more resources to provide life-saving aid
Five-month-old Pani was admitted to a nutrition stabilization centre set-up by WHO in a hospital in Tharparkar's Mithi district. She was severely malnourished, and was suffering from pneumonia and acute gastroenteritis.
"Thanks to the doctors and medical staff, my daughter will soon regain her normal health. She will also receive the food she needs to help her grow healthy," said Pani's mother.
Pani was one of the luckier ones. Aid organizations have only been able to help a small percentage of children suffering from malnutrition in drought-affected areas such as Tharparkar, largely due to lack of resources. So far, the organizations have not received any of the $12 million needed to scale-up nutrition efforts, and have started to divert funds from other aid programmes to meet the needs in Tharparkar.
Government authorities and the international humanitarian community are distributing food items such as rice and wheat, as well as vaccinating livestock. Health partners including WHO and UNICEF have provided medical supplies and established specialized nutritional treatment centres at government-run health facilities. But more needs to be done, says Deputy Humanitarian Chief Kang.
"The solutions are there but we won't be able to implement them unless all partners – the Government of Pakistan, the UN, civil society, and philanthropists alike – come together to urgently tackle these challenges," said Ms. Kang.

Although he received major attention from pro scouts at the national games, Williams, who is ranked in the Top 5 of most national high school baseball recruiting lists for 2013, said he still plans to honor his verbal commitment to LSU, even though there is a good chance he could hear his name called in the early rounds of the Major League Baseball draft next year. He said he will discuss his future plans with his family when that time comes, but as for now, he's planning to join the Tigers. "I want to get an education," Williams said. "I'm not going to play baseball forever. Every baseball player needs something to fall back on. They have pro players who have millions of dollars, and they are set for life. I'm not there yet, so I have to start planning ahead."
Nick Longhi 1B Venice, FL (Venice)
There is also a freshman (Tyler Chapman - OF) at LSU-Eunice with 6 doubles and 4 home runs in 14 games and is hitting .350. LSU-E as usual has 1 guy who has stolen 18 bases and another who has stolen 15 bases in 14 games each.
Jake Fraley, of, Red Lion (Del.) Christian Academy
Fraley has a tightly-wound build at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds. He's a solid-average runner and gets good jumps in center field. Fraley also shows at least average arm strength. He has a nice, compact swing from the left side of the plate with some sneaky power because of his quick hands and strong core. Fraley is committed to Louisiana State.
If I remember correctly Williams (20ish) and Longhi (60ish) were the only two on the list. Robertson was mentioned with those just outside the list.
