Tue 29th Oct 2013 8:00amConstantinesurf's Constantine Surf Report
Surf conditions at 7.00 a.m. on Tuesday 29th October 2013: It's big and bad and blown to bits! The wind has swung to a very chilly and blustery north westerly direction, no good to man nor beast nor surfer on this coast! Biggish waves are bouncing around out there, white horses all over the place, random chaos theory in play. It might be worth a trek over to the far coast if you want anything like clean waves today, there must be waves getting around the bottom of the county in this swell (anyone?). But let's have a little look at Harlyn, that has had its moments this last couple of days.......

Category: medieval revival names
Guest blogger Eleanor Nickerson follows her recent keen analysis of Victorian names with the period of British baby names that came next: the Edwardians.
What marks the Edwardian era of British baby names as distinct from those used in the Victorian period is the sheer number of different names used. In previous centuries the standard practice was to select a child's name from the immediate family. When an infant died the next child to be born would be given that name, limiting the name pool to five to eight names in a family. Fanciful names were reserved for the aristocracy, and even they kept them permeating along the family line.
The Victorians made a change to this idea. Names borne by a deceased family member were now considered 'unlucky'. Parents suddenly had to look elsewhere for names and artistic, literary and religious movements provided much needed inspiration. The Victorian love of anything 'gothic', and the influence of Tennyson and the Pre-Raphaelites brought back medieval and mythical names like Lancelot, Ralph, Edgar, Alice, Elaine, Edith and Mabel; the Romantic movement re-introduced names such as Wilfred, Quentin, Cedric, Amy and Rowena; and the religious Tractarian movement revived long lost Saint's names like Augustine, Benedict, Ignatius, Euphemia and Genevieve.
By the Edwardian era many of these previously obsolete names had become de rigueur and permeated all the social classes. More than at any time before, the gap between the names of the upper classes and those of the lower was considerably contracted. The 1911 census shows that many wealthy household members shared the same names as their domestic servants. For example, Constantia Beatrice Sophia, born 1905, was the daughter of a furniture mover and Lancelot Frederick Charles, born 1907, was a nurseryman's son, showing that these previously 'upper class' names were now being enjoyed throughout the social classes.
One of the biggest trends of the Edwardian era of British baby names was the use of nature names. Some of the most popular names such as, Daisy, Iris, Ivy, Primrose, Beryl, Pearl and Ruby were used sparingly in the first half of the nineteenth century – and, interestingly, equally spread amongst boys and girls. By the 1880s, these names started to became very fashionable (now solely for girls) which led to them becoming the darlings of the Edwardian age.

A meatloaf day for our adult hurling teams in the league this Sunday with 2 wins from 3.
AHL2: Lucan Sarsfields 0-20 St Pats 2-9:
Lucan seniors claimed the league points against neighbours St Pats at sunny Glenaulin. Lucan lead 0-10 to 0-5 at the break and looked comfortable but two second half goals gave Pats a lifeline. Lucan held their composure and picked off some nice points from distance to see out the game. Matt McCaffrey lead the forward line superbly and contributed 5 pts from play. Kevin O'Reilly and Aidan Roche also got their usual quota. S McClelland was prominent in a dominant half back line. Lucan Scorers: K O'Reilly 0-8 (0-4f), M McCaffrey 0-5, A Roche 0-3, S McClelland 0-2, J Moran & J Bellew 0-1 each.
AHL4: Lucan Sarsfields 2-13 St Finians 1-15.
Late scores from Alan White (1-2) pulled the win out of fire for Lucan. Paul Rigney was the other goal scorer. Overall it was a good solid team performance with full back line of Anto Lee, Brendan McGarry and Aidan Sheehan very strong throughout.
AHL8: Round Towers (L) 4-17 Lucan Sarsfields 1-8.
The Junior B's were missing a few regulars for the long trip to Lusk but still fought hard. A Brían Mahon goal kept Lucan in contention at half time but the home side pulled away in the second half. Newcomers Cillian Boylan and Eoghan Gately did well for Lucan. Scorers: K Masterson 0-5, B Mahon 1-0, C Boylan 0-2, D Ryan 0-1.

A better M-V-VM library
There are several existing libraries that support the Model-View-ViewModel (M-V-VM) pattern. They each have some nice features. However, I didn't find any that were just M-V-VM. Some required me to fundamentally restructure my XAML. Others required me to use dependency injection or implement a view model locator pattern. A few required me to use a heavy base class full of complex helpers or depend on a whole set of additional infrastructure. While I appreciate the help writing Plain Old CLR Objects (POCO) view models, I kept wishing there was a library requiring less buy-in to all those "extras".
So I started building a library that just does M-V-VM. I ended up with something that is easy to use, lightweight, and powerful.
I've revised the approach from using a Behavior to using a Decorator. You can download the updated version and read about it at http://blogs.southworks.net/geoff/2011/10/19/mvvm-decorator/.
You can download it here. It contains the library project and a HelloWorld sample application. Both have complete ReadMe.txt files.
M-V-VM only
The library has no dependencies outside WPF/.NET. All the classes are related strictly to M-V-VM.
Normal XAML development
The library does not require to change how you build your XAML hierarchy.
No POCO glue
The library does not provide commanding or property changed helpers or patterns. Another library might, but not this one.
No additional patterns required
The library can support dependency injection and view model locator, but nothing is required on behalf of the developer.
How to use it
These are the two classes you'll use 99% of the time.
This is a base class for your view model classes.
This is a behavior that you can drag and drop onto your controls (in Expression Blend). Just set the ViewModelType property to the type of your view model.
You can review the readme to learn about the other classes.
How it works
- It instantiates a view model using the ViewModelType property.
- It sets the view model's Model property = DataContext
- It sets the view model's View property = control
- It sets the control's DataContext = view model
Example 1: Basic ViewModel
This example shows the most basic creation of a view model.
In this example and the following examples the is a Customer is the model. The Customer class has basic properties like FirstName and LastName. The view model provides additional properties like FullName.
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Customer}"> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:CustomerViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <TextBlock Text="{Binding FullName}" /> </Grid>
Yes the example is contrived as you could easily do this with a ValueConverter. Some consider the M-V-VM pattern eliminates the need for ValueConverters and ValidationRules. Others find those classes continue to be helpful and are better encapsulated for re-use.
Example 2: Bind to ViewModel and Model
This example shows the you can also bind directly against the model.
It is up to you if your view model follows a strict Facade pattern when wrapping your model. There are some nice benefits to the Facade pattern because then your data-binding statements don't have any knowledge that there is a view model containing a model. However, if your model already implements INotifyPropertyChanged, it can often be a massive time saver to bind directly to the model.
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Customer}"> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:CustomerAccountViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Model.CreditCard.AccountHolderName}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding AccountStatus}" /> </StackPanel> </Grid>
Example 3: Hierarchy of ViewModels
This example shows how to create view models at different levels for a hierarchy of views.
Any part of the view model – the model, part of the model, or a property – can be passed as the data context for a nested control. The behavior can then use that data context as a model for the nested control's view model. View models naturally follow the same hierarchy as your views. The behavior is easy to use because it leverages the natural XAML hierarchy.
<Grid> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:CustomerViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /> <ColumnDefinition /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Label Content="Name" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding FullNameWithSalutation}" Grid.Column="1" /> <Label Content="Shipping Address" Grid.Row="1"/> <Grid DataContext="{Binding Model.ShippingAddress}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:AddressViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <TextBlock Text="{Binding FullAddress}" /> </Grid> <Label Content="Billing Address" Grid.Row="2"/> <Grid DataContext="{Binding Model.BillingAddress}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:AddressViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <TextBlock Text="{Binding FullAddress}" /> </Grid> <Label Content="Account Status" Grid.Row="3"/> <Grid DataContext="{Binding Model}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="3"> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:CustomerAccountViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <TextBlock Text="{Binding FullAddress}" /> </Grid> </Grid>
Example 4: Lists and Data Templates
This example shows how a data template can easily create a view model for each item when used in a list control.
Your view models should not generally expose other view models as properties. This would mean that one view model is responsible for creating instances of other view models. You would lose the loose coupling the view model behavior provides and the flexible type-agnostic nature of data binding.
<Grid> <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Customers}"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <i:Interaction.Behaviors> <bellacode:ViewModelBehavior ViewModelType="{x:Type local:CustomerViewModel}"/> </i:Interaction.Behaviors> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition /> <ColumnDefinition /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Customer.Name}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding MostRecentPurchaseDate}" Grid.Column="1" /> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox> </Grid>
Up Next: POCO
Plain Old CLR Objects (POCO) view models feel much less UI-bound than those that expose RoutedCommand, ICommand, RoutedEvents, or ICollectionView. I'm in progress working on a behavior that make command-binding for a control just as easy as the view model. It will be a separate library so you can choose to use if it works for you.

Bolivia, US to exchange ambassadors again
LA PAZ -- Bolivia and the United States agreed Tuesday to resume the exchange of ambassadors, in a step toward warmer ties after years of diplomatic strain.
U.S. and Bolivian officials said the shift is meant to improve ties between the United States and South America's poorest nation, whose leftist leader is a staunch U.S. critic.
No date for an ambassador exchange was immediately announced.
Socialist President Evo Morales in 2008 ordered the expulsion of U.S. ambassador Philip Goldberg, accusing him at the time of backing opposition groups which had been defying the Bolivian president.
Washington retaliated by telling the Bolivian ambassador to go home.
In 2011, the countries set up a panel to hold talks on improving bilateral relations that covered many issues, including cooperation on the fight against the illegal drug trade and on fostering more investment.
The United States often criticizes Bolivia's handling of its trade in coca leaves, the raw material from which cocaine can be made.
Morales, Bolivia's first elected indigenous president, is the former head of a coca growers union and highly sensitive to the criticism.
The plant's raw leaf is an age-old keystone of indigenous Andean culture: it is chewed to fight altitude sickness, taken as a tea, and used in religious ceremonies.
Bolivia's main indigenous peoples are Aymara and Quechua. It is South America's only country with an indigenous majority.

What is water?
Water is a tasteless, odorless and colorless liquid with the chemical formula H2O. Water is all around us. It is the liquid which forms rain, rivers, and the sea and makes up a large part of the bodies of most organisms, including humans.
I know you're probably saying to yourself, duh! I know water is essential but I bet there are a few things about this natural resource that you don't know. You don't believe me!! Well take this short true/false quiz to see if you know all there is to know about water and it's properties.
What makes water so special?
Think of what you need to survive, really just survive. Food? Water? Air? MTV? Naturally, I'm going to concentrate on water here. Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90 percent of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60 percent of the human body is water, the brain is composed of 70 percent water, and the lungs are nearly 90 percent water. About 83 percent of our blood is water, which helps digest our food, transport waste, and control body temperature. Each day humans must replace 2.4 literes of water, some through drinking and the rest taken by the body from the foods eaten.
There just wouldn't be any you, me, Clifford the dog without the existence of an ample liquid water supply on Earth. The unique qualities and properties of water are what make it so important and basic to life. The cells in our bodies are full of water. The excellent ability of water to dissolve so many substances allows our cells to use valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals in biological processes.
States of Water:
Water is unique in that it is the only natural substance that is found in all three states -- liquid, solid (ice), and gas (steam) -- at the temperatures normally found on Earth. Earth's water is constantly interacting, changing, and in movement.
Water as a Liquid
The definition of a liquid is matter which has a definite volume and no definite shape. A liquid takes the shape of its container. In a liquid, the molecules move and slide around each other.
Liquid water is found in many places. You see liquid water coming out of the faucet, when it rains, and running in a river. Pure liquid water is free of salt, rocks, soil, and garbage.
Water as a Solid
When something is solid, like copper, steel, rock, or ice, it is stiff. It does not change shape easily, and it does not change size. In fact, that is the definition of a solid: matter which has a definite volume and a definite shape.
Ice, snow, and frost are examples of water in the solid state. Liquid water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. Celsius is scale that measures temperature. What instrument do you use to measure temperature? Winter is a season that you see a lot of solid water. Other examples of solid water are ice cubes, icicles, ice on a skating rink.
Water as a Gas -Look at this picture of gasYou don't see anything because gas is invisible. Water in the liquid state may change to water in the gaseous state. Water evaporates to turn into a gas. Gases are colorless and odorless. You cannot see gas, but sometimes you can hear it and smell it. What are some ways that you can hear or smell a gas?
A gas like oxygen, carbon dioxide, helium, or steam can expand to fill any space it is in. If you open a helium balloon, the escaping helium goes everywhere in the room. Gas is matter which has no definite volume (it can be any size) and no definite shape.
Water can evaporate or disappear with the help of heat. Changes in temperature can increase the rate or how long it takes water to evaporate. Evaporate means to disappear. Water can evaporate from soil. It evaporates off wet clothes hanging on a clothesline.

Engineering modification house Ikhana Aircraft Services (Booth No. C7116) expected to receive FAA supplemental type certification (STC) of its DH-6 Twin Otter fuselage life extension by the time the NBAA show began, adding to a range of other upgrades the company offers for the twin-engine turboprop.
DHC-6 airframes are fatigue-life limited at 66,000 hours or 132,000 flights, whichever occurs first, according to Ikhana. The wing-box life limit is 33,000 hours or 66,000 flight cycles, about the half-life of the aircraft. Ikhana's RWMI DHC-6 re-life fuselage, developed by its formerly named RW Martin, Inc. subsidiary, extends the life of the rugged commuter plane. The fuselage modification, combined with other Ikhana STCs for the Twin Otter including the RWMI DHC-6 re-life wing box and DHC-6-200HG increased gross weight product "essentially transforms a DHC-6-200 into a DHC-6-300," the company says.
Ikhana, based in Murrieta, Calif., also offers DHC-6 modifications for camera hatches, wing hard points, air-conditioning, enhanced-vision system, bubble windows and Vistaliner enlarged windows as used by scenic tour operator Grand Canyon Airlines.
The company says it has seen demand for upgraded Twin Otters from markets including VIP transport, business shuttle, scientific missions cargo, skydiving and resupply of remote outposts such as oilfield rigs and Arctic research stations. Ikhana recently accomplished its 100th wing-box life extension.
Viking Air of Sidney, B.C., Canada, which owns the DHC-6 type certificate, says more than 800 aircraft have been built. Viking launched the Twin Otter Series 400 production program in 2007, and reports a backlog worth more than $300 million through 2014. Ikhana, formed in 2007, changed the names of its RW Martin and Total Aircraft Services subsidiaries last October, bringing them under the umbrella of Ikhana Group.
The company also has experience with Beechcraft King Air and Gulfstream airframes. Its headquarters is located at French Valley Airport in Murrieta, where a 45,000-sq-ft facility supports aircraft modifications, heavy maintenance and major repairs. The former RWMI operates as an FAA-approved Part 145 certified repair station and is an official Viking factory-endorsed service center for DHC-6 and DHC-7 aircraft.
The factory designation allows the facility to provide support of legacy de Havilland aircraft as well as the Twin Otter Series 400. Ikhana's aircraft engineering services are based in a 6,000-sq-ft facility adjacent to Van Nuys Airport in California. The former Total Aircraft Services staff consists of senior design and analytical engineers and FAA designated engineering representatives specializing in aircraft systems, damage tolerance and aircraft interior certification.

Greetings from the sunny and tiny beautiful SAMOA, an Island just south of Hawaii. Southern hemisphere.
You know we are anticipating getting one of our Otter a re-lifed fuselage.
Queries; [1] .......We had just completed our wing re-lifed mod in-house about two years ago, and doublers have been added to beef up necessary areas of concern as per specified mod >> My question >With the re-lifed fuselage>Would this have an adverse effect on the aircraft cross weight afterward?.
[2].....I have read your proposal Q12-027. Should we decide on an exchange with our Otter S/# 690 what would be an estimated price?.
NOTE; The decission on either of the above lie squarely on our board members however I do need to submit a report to support and to convince them before a decission is made.
Thank you
Manager Engineering

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, under scrutiny for billing private chartered planes to her Senate office when she used the flights to attend campaign fundraisers, has ordered a complete review of all such payments made over the course of her 18 years in the Senate.
The issue has plagued her re-election campaign.
Her two Republican opponents in the Nov. 4 election are questioning whether nearly $9,000 in reimbursements for flights that took the Democratic senator to fundraisers have unveiled a pattern of improperly using taxpayer dollars to pay for campaign events.
Landrieu's communications director, Matthew Lehner, said in a statement Friday that the senator has ordered counsel to review all payments made with official funds, review internal office procedures and make recommendations to ensure accurate payments are made in the future

Metanna Presents:
The Power of Metal Roofing...
Standing seam metal roofs embody strength and longevity when compared with other roof types. But now more than ever these and other benefits of metal roofs play an increasingly important role in the quest for environmentally conscious architectural alternatives. Metal roofs are not only durable, but possess many other "green" qualities, which are magnified and maximized when the roof becomes a platform for solar power generation.
...Maximizing the Power of Solar.
The growing demand for renewable energy has caused science and technology to push the envelope in all directions. One of the most promising and effective energy technologies now and in the foreseeable future is solar electric power. Photovoltaic options are becoming more readily available, affordable and versatile than ever. There are numerous reasons for the success of PV.

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.

This Cognac is sort of an adventure.

Thus "no chemicals, no pesticides affect the grapes; from the pruning to the picking, from the maturity of the grapes to the respect of the berries, every step promotes quality rather than the quantity." proclaims the house. The label states both dates of distillation and of bottling. A guarantee of age and authenticity, and an original move. The cognac itself is fresh, delicate, with zesty notes and nuts aromas: We believe tasting this Cognac will convince all.

Foxy Brown Back on the Scene to "Let Em Know" [Video Included]
"Let Em Know"
As of late, rapper Foxy Brown has been featured in the spotlight rarely, but anytime her name has come up, it has apparently carried a negative connotation to it as it was spoken from the mouths of others.
Rumors of her having relations with other rappers such as AZ and even marrying Rick Ross have only provided fuel for the Don Diva to kick in the door and sound off on everyone that had something to say about her.
Back on her Brooklyn bullShyte, the rapper starts off 2010 looking to address all the speculation with the release of the track "Let Em Know".
The track also finds Brown addressing those that had a hand in killing Biggie Smalls, known to Hip Hop as The Notorious B.I.G.
Showing love to her stomping grounds, she also enlisted the help of Lil Fame from M.O.P. to give the assist for the cut.
With Nicki Minaj already leading the pack and Trina starting to make noise again, it might be time to open up and give some elbow room because Foxy Brown is on her way back.

In a world where houses are being foreclosed on, it seems only natural to release an album called Repo. Are Black Dice the new visionaries of the future? You'll get your chance to find out on April 7th, when the album is released on Paw Tracks.
"Most of the record is songs that we are tracking live and mixing in a traditional kind of recording process. But some of the stuff is more experimental, more home recording stuff that we've gotten into. We've messed around with that a little, but haven't had the skills to do until now," Aaron Warren told Billboard last year.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Cambridge, Cambrirdgeshire, United Kingdom, 2008/09/03 - Ekioh today announced that the Inuk Networks Freewire IPTV service, running on STBs using the Ekioh UI Engine, has been rolled out in several locations across the UK - Ekioh.com.
The Ekioh UI Engine utilises the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) open standard from the W3C, to provide a fast, flexible and customisable user experience.
The nationwide Freewire service available to students across the UK has so far largely concentrated on offering its IPTV service via a PC or Mac client. The service is also now available on STBs using Industria's Zignal 2.0 middleware and the Ekioh UI Engine. It is now in operation at four university campuses across the UK. As Inuk expands its Freewire student IPTV service off-campus over the Cable & Wireless national LLU network, this Ekioh solution will be provided as an integral element of the STB solution for every customer on the platform.
We have been looking to deliver a true next generation TV experience on a set-top box for over two years and SVG seems to be the missing link when it comes to rendering really fast graphics and a responsive interface, said Marcus Liassides, Chief Executive Officer at Inuk Networks Ltd. Using Ekiohs SVG browser together with Zignal 2.0 has enabled us to take a huge leap forward with a user interface which not only looks fantastic but is also the fastest I have ever seen on a set-top box.
Piers Wombwell, CEO of Ekioh commented: The Ekioh UI Engine has been specifically designed for set-top boxes and combines flexibility and performance giving a superior user experience. This is the first live deployment of the Ekioh UI Engine and as the Freewire service expands, we are delighted that our software will be used by every set-top box customer on the Freewire platform.

On an unusually light Patch Tuesday, Windows 7 gets three nonsecurity updates and Windows 8 gets its first patch.
But Microsoft is scrambling to add Flash updating to Windows 8 in order to protect the newly released platform.
Problems with tiles, and a Flash update to come
Windows 8 is barely out of RTM and already has an update for its user interface. KB 2751352 fixes an issue with Win8 tiles when using the "All Apps View." Microsoft states that All Apps View is not updating a cache correctly when you change a tile's file-type association.
That's a minor problem, compared to updating Adobe Flash in Windows 8. Although Windows 7 users can download the latest Adobe Flash update (site) on their own, Win8's Internet Explorer 10 has Flash embedded. That means Microsoft must provide any Flash updates for IE 10. Until that happens, the browser is vulnerable.
As noted in a ZDNet blog, Microsoft plans to release the needed update "shortly." If you've already taken the Windows 8 plunge, it might be good to download another browser.
What to do: Windows 8 users should install KB 2751352 and be on the lookout for the upcoming Flash update. I'll discuss Windows 8 patching in an upcoming article.
2719857, 2735855, 2741355
Three nonsecurity updates for Windows 7
As is its unfortunate habit of late, Microsoft has released a few nonsecurity updates on Patch Tuesday. As regular Patch Watch readers know, I don't approve of mixing together nonsecurity and security updates — it just makes the process of installing and testing critical security patches more difficult. However, September's Patch Tuesday has so few security patches, I'm okay with tackling the following nonsecurity updates now rather than at the end of the month.

NEW YORK (Mar. 11)
Franz-Josef Strauss, leader of the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU), in West Germany, said here yesterday that his party strongly opposes any communication or negotiations with terrorist groups, including the Palestine Liberation Organization and its leader, Yasir Arafat.
Strauss, who is the Minister President of Bavaria and the CDU's candidate for Chancellor, addressed the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. He said the United Nations invitation to Arafat in 1974 was a "blasphemy." Although he did not name other countries, such as Britain and France which have been holding discussions with PLO leaders, Strauss made it clear that any West German government he headed would not go along with such a policy.
The CDU leader criticized the present Bonn government for failure thus for to join in the boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. In that connection, he noted that the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin "gave Adolf Hitler his greatest psychological break-through."
Strauss said that he has told Arab leaders with whom he has met that "Israel is not your enemy, that Israel is not expansionist, that Israel wants only to co-exist with you in peace and that your real enemies are the Soviet Union and the radical forces in the Arab world which it supports and which seek instability and upheaval."
Strauss also said that the governments of West Europe should concentrate on strengthening President Anwar Sadat of Egypt rather than flirt with the PLO terrorist. "I am fully aware of what the PLO means and I deplore any controls with its leadership, he said.

text: It's a new season, I'm hoping to help in sharing all these wonderful plays with my fellow Texans fans. Despite what some may think, I do not fall in love with any player. AJ had been criticized by me a few years ago for not blocking as well on running plays as I think a big physical receiver is capable of. Schaub had received his shares of my criticism. Both were players I "endorsed" from the start of their tenure with the Texans. So here to happy discussions with something a little more concrete to go by besides "pure" opinions. There can be as many POVs as each and all who watched the games; hopefully, with a closer look, there will be fewer misunderstandings. At least, we may be able to narrow it down to a few.


text: The colorful travels of a Blue Man By Bill Lynch September 26, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo Part rock concert, part science experiment, the Blue Man Group has been wowing audiences with its groundbreaking music, comedy and multimedia shows for more than 20 years. It comes come to Charleston Oct. 3 and again Oct. 4. WANT TO GO?Blue Man GroupWHERE: Clay CenterWHEN: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3 and Oct. 4TICKETS: $45 and $66INFO: 304-561-3570 or www.theclaycenter.org CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On the phone, Blue Man Chris Smith said he was eyeing a sign for a Bayou Adventure Boat shop across the street and considering sneaking away for a couple of hours before the Blue Man Group's show in Lafayette, La., to explore the swamp.The odd, often thought-provoking, concert and comedy show comes to the Clay Center for a special two-night engagement Wednesday and Oct. 4, and Smith is looking forward to coming. He's near the start of a tour that will largely keep him from his Northern California home for the next year, so it helps to embrace the travel and look for interesting things to do.In Louisiana, Smith said, one of the other Blue Men's parents drove up from Houston to visit and have dinner."We all went to a Cajun restaurant his parents went to 10 years ago," he said. "Once the people at the restaurant heard it was [the Blue Man Group], they pulled us up [on the dance floor], and we were line dancing before the end of the night." It's too bad they weren't in makeup."That would have been a YouTube hit for sure," Smith added.The 27-year-old said that if you'd asked him a couple of years ago if he saw himself doing what he does today -- traveling the country, playing percussion and performing while painted bright blue -- he'd have said no. He wouldn't have believed it.He said, "I went to UCLA for theater, but filmmaking has been my passion." But as a kid, he had a bit of a sideline in Lake Tahoe as a variety performer. Smith and his brother even had their own act."We started the Tahoe Jugglers," he said, then laughed. "For a while there, we had the juggling monopoly in Tahoe." He kept up the juggling college, but after graduating in 2007, he focused more on work in film and television production.A little more than a year ago, he decided he needed a change. He quit his production job and agreed to follow a childhood friend back home his home in Nepal to hike and explore."I spent a month backpacking," Smith said. "That was a pretty unique adventure. He was from a village of about 50 people 10,000 feet up in the Himalayas. I spent a month without Internet or phone service. We hiked to the base camp of Mount Everest."When he returned home, Smith said he felt changed. He wanted to get back into performing, so he signed with a new agent. A month later, he saw a notice for open auditions for Blue Man Group.He didn't really see himself as being part of the Blue Man Group but thought it might be a good workshop experience.He said, "Truthfully, I thought the joke would be on them. I'd never seen the show, but I thought it was all drumming, and I'd never even hit a drum before." The producers, however, saw that he might be a good fit. After he got the job, they put him through an intensive drum training program and a kind of Blue Man boot camp in New York."Everybody trains in New York," he said.For his first year with Blue Man, Smith spent time in New York, Chicago and Orlando, where he worked on resident shows at the Astor Place Theater, the Briar Street Theater and the Sharp Aquos Theater at Universal Orlando Resort. There are also Blue Man Group shows in Las Vegas, Boston, Germany and on a Norwegian Cruise Line, which, with the U.S. and European tours, means there are a lot of Blue Men (both past and present)."It's funny, we were talking about having a convention last night," Smith said. "It would be nice to put a name with the blue face." Reach Bill Lynch at email@example.com or 304-348-5195.

The excretory system plays a vital role in ridding the body of extraneous wastes and toxins. The excretory system is made up of various internal organs that work together to detoxify the body.
The Skin
The skin is responsible for producing sweat, which helps regulate the salt concentration in the body. When you sweat, the salt helps evaporate the water and, in turn, cools off the body.
The Liver
The liver is part of the digestion system, but also plays a role in the excretory system. The liver has a small organelle called a peroxisome, which is responsible for taking high levels of toxicity and converting them to less toxic substances. Bile is a waste product in this process and is used in the digestive process.
The Kidneys
The role of the kidneys is to remove nitrogenous wastes from the body. Nitrogenous means that it is rich in the element nitrogen. Nitrogen in high concentrations in the body can cause several problems such as joint pain, strokes or heart attacks. The kidney is made up three parts: the renal cortex, the renal medulla and the renal pelvis. All mammals have two kidneys. The kidney's primary function is to regulate various body fluids and salt concentration.
The Other Parts of the Excretory System
The excretory system also contains the ureter, which are two tubes that lead into the bladder. The bladder holds unnecessary wastes for storage. The urethra is where urine is expelled from the body.
Blood is filtered through the kidneys by first traveling through the renal artery. The artery splits into many arterioles, which go to Bowman's Capsules that contain a bundle of capillaries called nephrons. The nephrons create a large bundle of capillaries called the glomerulus that filters the blood by taking out the toxins. Some toxins that are removed are ammonia, uric acid, medicines and antibiotics. This is also the site for reabsorbing amino acids, vitamins and water.
The renal pelvis takes the urine away from the ureter and stores it into the bladder. The bladder can expand as more liquid is stored. When full, the bladder sends nerves impulses to the brain and causes the sensation of being full. Urine is the liquid nitrogenous waste from the kidneys and is taken from the body through the urethra.

(User was permabanned for this post (Reason: Alt of spammer) [event] 70586 [/event])
It's a scripting mod for gmod that I would like a download for a full review and give my idea for it. (the **** download system they have on the forums there is out of the question for me. No downloading something I'm only using once :(.)
So basically... you want everyone to agree with your opinion? What makes welding props to each other in an interesting manner any different than wiring components in a certain fashion to produce an interesting effect?Cheesesack posted:
I'll be honest, Wiremod baffles me. In every possible meaning of the word. The greatest wire contraption i ever made was a badly strung together music box which had a total of 10 half life songs on diffrent speakers. No matter how hard i try to understand it, or no matter how many times a kind person trys to explain it to me, or show me an example, It still confuses me. But even after all this i see no reason to hate it.
The things i saw wiremod do are remarkable, A true leap foward in garrysmod and in video games entirely. Though i may never be able to understand it, i still find wiremod interesting. I don't understand wiremod so i don't build things that involve wiremod, so it baffles me why people hate wiremod, when they have the option of just not downloading it. The wire-invention spam on garrysmod.org does get a bit annoying at times, but not everything on garrysmod.org is good anyway, I've seen plenty of bad downloads that have nothing to do with wiremod, and some that do.
But to sum it all up in a short sentence, If i lacked the ability to read, I would not hate people who could read books, Rather, i would be fascinated by them.
That's an exact example of the pointless wire-mod stuff I'm talking about. I don't need an in-game games console, I'm playing on one right now (my PC) and I'm sitting right next to an Xbox 360. Making things like that is just an excuse for people to boast about how intelligent they 'supposedly' are.BlackPhoenix posted:
You are doing it wrong.Cheesesack posted:
It's not fun just playing games.
The fun thing is to build this console, and to write games for it.
I doubt that with your current level of intelligence you will understand that.
You build contraptions - it's your creative process. I also like creating stuff by programming it - it's also creative process. What is the difference between huge complex contraption and huge complex game? But they are both result of creative process of an author.
What I am trying to say that you should think beyond the result of your creative actions ("Hey, look what cool thing I built!"), and enjoy the process of creating it.
Also zing, you can't write your own games for XBOX, can you? I mean seriously, you are not gonna get SDK, and you are not gonna bother with homebrew stuff.
On the other hand writing for this small console is damn easy - games are small, simple, and SDK-ish thing is available publicly with people who can help you setting it up.
After all, XBOX is product of evil Microsoft :V:
On the other hand yes, wiremod may kill some part of game because lot's of contraptions are only for 1 person. For example no-one can help you making complex contraption. Not because of intelligence, but just because it's only you who know exactly how it layed out - other people will need some time to see what goes where.
If you really want lot of people to take part - then you should make your contraption by blocks. Blocks which will be designed by other people.
Then you all happily connect them, and have fun.
What kind of contraptions? I dunno, a robot for example (one person does the base with wheels, other the body, and other does cosmetic details like head, arms, etc)
That's not what we are talking about.Citizen 101 posted:
The thing some of us hate, is that garrysmod.org, contraption section, maybe even saved games section, half of them uses wiremod to make some wheels spin with extremely complex "realistic" engines, then they release it.
It would be a lot better if more people knew more about wiremod, and released different things, that we haven't seen before. We don't want gliders, spinning wheels from complex engines, automated turrets with lasers. Those are spammed almost everywhere.
If something different came up everyday, that would still be building skill. Following a tutorial and then posting the wiremod thing you made with it on a forum is not building skill.
I'm not sure what makes you think garrysmod.org was ever not cluttered by junk nobody wanted.
Before I actually tried wiremod, I was like. No way.. How can anyone get that?!.
But now i've tried it and use it regularly, It comes second nature and it vastly improves GMOD in my opinion.
Good building skill can still count. You can't make some kind of over-complex robot that can walk and stabilize itself using wire, if you don't have good building skill.
This needs less "Supercomputers on a single phoenix panel" and more "wire-aided contraptions"
With emphasis on "aided"
Can you use dynamite to explode when it gets within a range of a target without you having to press a button?_Jonk posted:
Then maybe you should shut the hell up because you have no idea what the point of Wire is.
Well now as I see it here is what wire truly is a Gmod scripting mod that allows people to build "Life Like" toys, that has become over done because of wire noobs lack of creativity. "Yay i made a turret that can shoot you form anywhere on the map!" Shut the **** up! Anyone can do that go try something more creative! will not help but more or less this might. Nice but is that really all you do? Then if that doesn't work you bring out line one. =)
Edit: Not to post this 5 times in a row but could someone please get me a download link?
Wirers can't build. Builders can't wire.
That's how it is for me. I belong to the builders catagory.
I disagree. I can build fine and I have almost figured out the CPU Chip. I have a few examples of wire stuff, build stuff and wire and build together.
1. Underwater base with life support that automatically turns on and off depending on energy and air levels. Took building and wiremod skill. (I used an E-Gate)
2. Giant Robot Statue. It is a giant statue made of combine props. Doesn't Move but looks fucking awesome!
3. Calculator in wire mod, because Alt+Tab owns my GMod.
Final Point?
It's all about how you look at it.
You gotta be both to be speshal.dragon1972 posted:
Well I can some what build but I commonly stick to ways to use the portal gun or gravity gun battling, or both! :)
What the fuck, Wiremod enhances Garry's Mod so much, you're trying to change us back to Garry's Mod 5 when there were only simple tools.Cheesesack posted:
i think wiremod is a very good addon and it has many capabilities but I do not get it at all but it's still good to doors and stuff with.
I'm all for people making their turrets and engines, but keep it off of garrysmod.org! It wasn't interesting the first thousand times someone uploaded it. The way I see it, something like that is only exciting if YOU built it. Otherwise, you're shoving an excessively copied idea down someone's throat.
Personally, I have no clue how to work the Wire Mod on my own, but when I have a guide/tutorial next to me, I can do some amazing things. I don't think it 'ruined' GMod, but I do think it made it more challenging. To people that aren't that good with GMod to begin with, it may seem as though it was ruined, however if you spend some time reading what each wire tool does, you may find it improved GMod. That's just my opinion...
A mech? With wiring. I'd really like a tutorial for that, or at least screens. It sounds epic, and I can can never get my mechs to balance (without using hoverballs, which is just the cheap way out).Twinfire0 posted:
I fucking hate wiremod
If you really want to take that example even further, EVERYTHING that is build in GMod, with or without wire, is pointless. You can't take it off of the machine; it's not going to improve your life outside of the computer. So why do it?Cheesesack posted:
You build it because you can, not because you need to. It's the same thing with mountains for their climbers. Why do they climb them? Because it was there. They don't need any more reason.
Same thing with GMod. You don't need a reason to build something you want to build. Just do it and enjoy it or the attempt if you don't succeed. Seriously... your way over thinking wire here. If you don't like it, don't use it. It's that simple.
Very well put. I would have to say that there is no reason to hate Wiremod any more than there is reason to hate an artist or his creations.joe7721 posted:
Cheesesack's argument seems to be putting down something for no apparent reason. Would it be correct for me to argue that we should outlaw paint because some people only paint crappy pictures? What would that do for the people who are talented in artistry? Oh, that's right, it doesn't matter.
What I'm asking is this: Why does it really matter to you? Do you think that every activity which people "abuse" should be banned or outlawed? Do you think that if somebody is better than you at something, then you should hate them?
I dare you, Cheesesack, to reply to this post and answer my questions. Because frankly, I don't like the negative attitudes that this thread has been stirring up. I'd rather have everybody come to a resolution than to try and argue. I just want everybody to see what's wrong here, and I kindly ask that it stop. Can't we all just go about our ways and stop getting so angry over such a petty issue?
No. The internet is for angrypants.Twinfire0 posted:
No one's forcing you to look at Wiremod contraptions.
Yes they are. Join a server online, wiremod. Garrysmod.org, hunting for interesting things. Wiremod. Download a lua script - Compatible with wiremod! Needs wiremod!LeninousMinious posted:
Exactly what I was thinking.Catdaemon posted:
I have a shitty computer(will not have anymore soon)and wiremod just lags the crap out of it untill it crashes.
I looked around in lua releases and found something awesome called GCombat. Then I saw that they used parts of wiremod because they can't script for the hell of it themselves, and cried out loud.
I've not used wiremod in ages but there were two massive problems with it last time I joined a server that had it installed:
It clutters the tool menu with loads of tool you don't understand, (which makes you feel like an idiot if you don't have enough experience with it to know how everything works).
There's not a lot of in-game documentation, so if you're trying to learn how the various features work you have to constantly go in & out of game to figure out what the fuck is going on. Which is a complete ballache and completely puts beginners off altogether.
The first point has been sort of fixed now that tool groups can be collapsed. It'd still be nice if wiremod tools & options had a seperate tab, distancing it completely from the standard GMOD tool-set (that's if the new versions don't do that already).
The second is the bigger issue. When we were making the tools for GMOD 10 we kinda decided that we shouldn't include any tools that instructions couldn't be written in one line of text, and that took more than two or three clicks to operate (pulleys being pretty much the only exception).
Obviously this approach wouldn't work with wiremod tools due to the nature of how they operate, it would be good though if you had the option of displaying in-depth, context sensitive help text which can be open while you use each toolmode.
Something like a tooltip when you mouse-over a connect point explaining exactly what it does, and/or hints when required inputs/outputs aren't connected.
Something like that, along with the tools general description and an in-game link to the wiremod wiki (which you can have open in a small window while you use the tool), would be awesome.
As it is, you can't immediately jump right into it and get going like you can with the included tools.
If wiremod was more user-friendly toward complete beginners it'd be worth making it into a stand-alone game to sell to schools and shit.
It just needs that extra layer of noob-friendyness.
A lot of Wiremod is trial and error. Many of the tools I don't understand yet, but once you realise pretty much everything works with input and output, you can figure out what you need to do to make it work.
I made an obstacle course in Gmod yesterday. I used a wire accumulator chip (which I learned from a tutorial, is basically a stopwatch) that I could switch on with a button. Then I wired that to a 'greater than' chip, which checked if the value of the accumulator chip was greater than 2, if it was it would reset the accumulator to zero. I linked a wired prop spawner to the 'greater than' chip to spawn a prop everytime it detected the value of the accumulator chip was greater than 2, resulting in an automatic endless stream of objects rolling down a slope which I had to avoid while climbing it.
Please tell me how I would have done this without wiremod.
Menu clutter is not an argument. You can minimize menus you do not need or use. Everything wire uses is at the bottom. I'm far more annoyed at the random scripts that squeeze themselves inbetween the basic tools and force me into a game of hide and seek every time I need them.
Very nice.
No, wiremod hasn't screwed up Gmod. Wiremod's still about building contraptions with wire and adds more cooler stuff able to be built. Wiremod or not, it's still building, but with a twist.
I think Wiremod is great, but usually I don't use it. I'm not much of a builder.
But when I do build, it's on my server. Hell yea. Without a doubt
I love wiremod, even though I don't understand or use a lot of it.
The whole point (and joy) of garry's mod is that it is a freeform game. I load it up and I've got some idea of what I feel like doing but I am also certain that I will end up doing something I didn't plan. Wire is just another way to have fun in gmod, it doesn't replace simpler ways of having fun. Example, two of my favourite games in gmod at the moment:
1. Using wire + gcombat and having long range artillery battles with friends. It's so epic when all the adjustment and calibration etc results in a catastrophic ammo explosion.
2. Spawning a red cargo container and both me and my friend try to crush eachother with it using our phsyguns. (It's even MORE fun with two cargo containers, trying to knock the other one aside or freeze it and sometimes stealing it and having yours stolen... and when someone loses, their body is FLUNG!)
Both of these games are EXTREMELY entertaining. Wiremod just like gmod in general is something I have lots of memories of. Yes it can be hard, but that's also rewarding. I was so, so stoked when I made my first working radar in wire. It doesn't stop me enjoying making random contraptions using normal tools.
I've found the best way to learn wiremod stuff is to use Firebox, that way you can look up how things work. The other thing that I found useful is when I make a device I haven't made before, I draw crappy diagrams for myself so I can remember how I got it working.
I have to disagree. Makes the game open to creating so much more.
I can't tell you how you could do that without it, but all that stuff's just too much math.V12US posted:
Gmod is a game which requires alot of creativity, adding logical thinking into a creative game is just wrong.
All you people who enjoys logical thinking will surely disagree with me, yes, but Gmod needs less of all the logical stuff, not more.

Media release from the Science Media Centre
A scientific literature review undertaken by the New Zealand
Food Safety Authority has found that energy shots and energy drinks
which contain high levels of caffeine are not suitable for
children, young adolescents, pregnant women and people sensitive to
The finding reaffirms the NZFSA's existing advisory on caffeine,
which when consumed in high doses can lead to insomnia, tremors,
dizziness and anxiety, amongst other effects.
The NZFSA-commissioned risk profile report on caffeine was
undertaken by Environmental Science and Research (ESR) and found
that some people may experience anxiety effects if consuming more
than 3 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight per day. For an
adult, this would mean limiting consumption to fewer than two
standard cups (non-instant) of coffee or four cups of tea a day.
For most healthy adults, up to 400mg of caffeine in total a day
appears to have no ill effects.
The risk profile was at pains to point out that there are
significant information gaps, including a lack of knowledge of
energy drink and energy shot consumption in New Zealand, weak
evidence of adverse effects on which to base safety levels and lack
of evidence for the health effects of frequent high caffeine
intakes for children and adults.
The full risk profile can be downloaded here, and a recording of the briefing can be
listened to on the SMC website.
The Science Media Centre wrapped up reaction from
Dr Elaine Rush, Professor of Nutrition, Faculty of Health
and Environmental Science, Auckland University of Technology
"The confirmation that energy drinks and energy shots containing
caffeine are NOT for children and young teenagers is a clear
message and the one that should be headlined and not be lost to
other discussion.
"Caffeine is not a nutrient but globally the consumption of
caffeine containing products has exponentially risen and energy
shots add to the ubiquitous marketing and consumer demand for
caffeine. As the NZFSA state for the consumer to make an "informed
choice more information is needed". Insufficient evaluation of
adverse events is not a proof of safety which can be said for over
consumption of any food additive nutrient or food. We must not lose
sight that of the fact that "consumers do not know what they do
they do not know", do not know what they need to know and rely on
the democratic system of having an organised society with delegated
responsibilities to experts and systems to make these decisions for
"Individual choice to consume anything in whatever quantity can
never be a fully informed or free choice. The NZFSA has met its
obligation to protect consumers with the issue of clear advice, now
this needs to be communicated and the debate should be about the
need to protect children and support parents through
Professor John Birkbeck, adjunct professor of nutrition,
Massey University comments:
"While in general the consumption of caffeine beverages in adults
poses no health risks, there are issues with so called "energy"
drinks. These contain levels of caffeine much higher than found
with normal beverages, and are often targeted at children and
youths in whom the dose is relatively greater because of smaller
body size. The adverse effects of caffeine under these
circumstances can be a serious problem and it is good that the
NZFSA should highlight this problem and seek ways to persuade
industry to modify the marketing and even the composition of these
Caffeine contents:
Espresso coffee (single shot): 80mg
Latte coffee (single shot): 99 mg
Tea: 55 mg
Chocolate bar (50 g): 10 mg
Kola drinks: 145 mg/litre
Energy drinks: 75-240 mg per bottle
Energy shots: 10-300 mg per shot

Chapter 15 (v.1) - Miss Licorice & Sir Lazorus
Chapter Fifteen: Miss Licorice & Sir Lazorus
Immortal Rose's Journal
Upon exiting the strange music hall, Tuomas led me further down the same castle wing and turned the corner into a large open room. It was set up nicely as a grand dining hall with a large chandelier suspended overhead. The many crystals set into the fixture sparkled upon the table underneath. The latter set with pristine linens, settings of polished silverware and porcelain dishes. I pondered momentarily at the absurdity of such things, especially amongst those who may well disregard them entirely for other methods of sustenance. Perhaps it was more for show than any real purpose...or possibly even the room where an all too mortal victim would take a last meal.
This last thought made me shudder, yet such fear soon gave way when I noticed an aroma of fresh baked goods wafting from behind a small door adjacent to the room. I glanced to my guide who gave an encouraging nod. Hence, we entered into the small room which proved to be a cozy kitchen. The air here was warm and inviting, the complete opposite of most other rooms in the castle; and smelled of rich desserts and savory entrees. Busy at work here, I was surprised to find a young girl. She bustled about, carrying trays of pastries to a small countertop as her hair bounced about in a pair of twin ponytails that she had set high upon her head.
She did not notice our entrance into the small room, and was much involved in her work when Tuomas cleared his throat to garner her attention. At this, she paused. Her green eyes were wide and jovial, and she set the tray down instantly to bound over to us. Here, she gave a polite smile to the physician and turned to me with concern.
"Oh! Tuomas! Why didn't you tell me that you would be visiting? I would have cleaned up a bit more. And look at the poor dear! Here she is in this ghastly place, and scared out of her wits! Shame on you, you could have at least done so much as feed the poor girl. She looks half-starved as is! Come, come, let's get you some proper food. Oh, these ruffians. They know next to nothing about ladies, and even less than that about us mortals."
She continued rambling on, not allowing Tuomas or myself a single word of refusal or anything else. Though I was at that moment much too surprised to speak. It seemed this girl knew me, or at the very least, about me and my stay inside the castle. She spoke as though an acquaintance would in reuniting with an old friend. This was puzzling in itself, yet she also had spoken of being mortal too. I wished to question her further on these matters as she pushed me out of the kitchen and guided me to a seat in the dining hall, yet my stomach interrupted me at the most inopportune time. It was a faltering realization that I had not yet taken a single meal in my time at the kingdom. There was no way to distinguish day or night with the everlasting moon, much less appropriate dining times. I lowered my head, ashamed at the organ's loud call for food, yet she smiled in understanding.
"Don't worry, Rose. I'll fix something for you right away!"
She passed Tuomas on her way back to the kitchen, and I heard his remarks to her.
"Miss Licorice, how is it that you know of Miss Rose? This is your first meeting of her, is it not?"
"Oh, yes, but you forget that Lazzy keeps me up to date with that side of the castle." She gave a small giggle, the first happy laughter I had heard in what seemed ages. "You can't hide these things from me. Besides, girls must always stick together!"
I watched for them to return to the dining hall, yet only the physician did so, shaking his head in an exasperated notion. He caught my eyes however, and did what he could to offer better explanation.
"Forgive me. That is Miss Licorice. She is the baker here, as well as the cook for the entities that are not... blood-drinkers."
He said this last part in hesitation, his eyes doing what they could to avoid my throat and the area where the markings had been. The awkward silence was short-lived as the girl known simply as Licorice rounded the corner and set a small plate in front of me. I looked down to see a small frosted pastry. Not exactly a sustaining meal. She noticed my confusion and offered an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry. All I have are cookies, cupcakes and sweets at the moment. The time for dinner is about an hour or two from now, and the meal will be much much bigger. For now though, please eat something. Would you like some tea as well? Lazzy said you like tea."
I frowned, remembering her using the name before.
"Forgive me, but who is..."
At that moment, a high-pitched squeal resounded in the dining room, followed by the appearance of the small bat from my chambers. He flew directly overhead, circling the chandelier in a dizzying dance before landing squarely in the cupcake on my plate. The furball then proceeded to consume the entire confection without a single thought. Licorice gasped, giving a frown to the small creature.
"Lazzy! That is no way to behave in front of company! Oh, I am so very sorry, Miss Rose. He does know better than that. I'll get you a new plate."
She took the plate, bat and all, into the kitchen as Tuomas smiled.
"That would be Sir Lazorus, or 'Lazzy' as Miss Licorice affectionately calls him. He is a common guest at the castle. I remember seeing him flying about in your chambers earlier. He must have informed Miss Licorice of your arrival. You must pardon his manners. He is quite an avid fan of sweets, especially those made by Miss Licorice. Otherwise, he is a perfect gentleman, I assure you."
My stay within this kingdom seems to grow stranger by the hour.
