What kind of person hitchhikes, at age 60, across the country? A former hitchhiker. An adventurous soul. Someone who chooses to trust others, despite encountering the darker sides of humanity as a newspaper reporter. That would be Bill McAuliffe. My recently retired colleague wrote a rollicking story, entitled "Hitchhiking in a new age," about begging rides from the Twin Cities to Washington State for Travel. The story earned gold in the Adventure Travel category of the Society of American Travel Writer's Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition.
The Society also awarded Curt Brown an honorable mention in the Cultural Travel category for his Star Tribune story "In Uganda, faith endures." This beautifully told tale illuminates a world unseen by most: a small enclave of Jews in Uganda. It's another example of armchair travel at its best.
The Star Tribune Travel section took the bronze award for best newspaper travel section with a circulation of 350,000 and up. The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times took gold and silver, respectively.
While other film buffs are at viewings in Toronto (where the Toronto International Film Festival is going on at this moment), you might turn your eyes on Chicago. Make a hotel reservation. Begin crafting your viewing plan. The Windy City's own impressive film festival — slated for October 9-23 — is celebrating its 50th year.
Among the films screened will be "The Babadook," an Australian horror flick that was well received at Sundance; "Black Coal, Thin Ice," the Chinese film that took the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival, and the Juliette Binoche vehicle "Clouds of Sils Maria."
Despite excitement over this year's newcomers, though, an old movie may prove the hardest ticket to get. Academy Award winner and cult classic "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" made its world premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1975. The Milos Forman masterpiece will relieve the glory in a newly restored version this year.
Multi-screening festival passes are on sale now. The movie schedule will be online Sept. 16. Individual tickets go on sale to the general public Sept. 19. For more information, click here. JW Marriot Chicago is the headquarters hotel for the festival.
Like many others, I first went to Napa for the wine and came away wowed and dazzled by the food. Great restaurants use an astonishing array of fresh ingredients to create wonderful dishes, usually of the simple, vibrant ilk. Every return trip has meant exciting new (to me) venues, including Solbar in Calistoga and Morimoto in the town of Napa last month.
And as swell as it is to savor this gastro-utopia at a table, I actually prefer to eat at the bar, at least when there are just one or two of us. The full menu is available without fail. It's generally a great perch for people-watching. The person behind the bar is usually a seasoned pro in food service — someone who has made this his or her profession, not the "I'm just doing this until I get enough acting/modeling gigs" types encountered at all too many restaurants. Plus they almost assuredly know how lucky they are to live in such a fabulous place and work at such a cool eatery.
But the big bonus is that this is where the people who do the truly important work in Napa tend to hang out. While the nouveau riche winery owners are regaling one another in the main dining area, the winemakers, vineyard managers and cellarmasters often are just enjoying a nice meal and a beverage (often a beer; as the saying goes, "it takes a lot of beer to make good wine") at the bar.
I've had particular luck meeting such folks at two of Twin Cities native Cindy Pawlcyn's superb restaurants, Mustards Grill and Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen. But I've also encountered cool Napa-ites at Press, Bistro Jeanty and downstairs in the atmospheric bar at Goose & Gander.
Oh, and most recently, the octopus seemed a little more tender and the sake a touch sweeter at the convivial sushi bar at Morimoto.
People tend to go to Portland for one reason above all others. But that reason varies mightily. It might be the wonderfully wide-ranging restaurant scene (from countless food carts to the don't-dare-miss-it Thai treasure Pok Pok); the country's most revered big bookstore, Powell's Books; the hipster vibe, or as a gateway to Pinot Noir Heaven, the Willamette Valley 30 miles to the southwest.
But in summertime, there's no better impetus to go than the clunkily named International Rose Test Garden.
Tumbling down a hillside in Washington Park, the garden boasts killer views of the city and Mount Hood. But all eyes should be trained on the myriad blooms. Who knew there were so many shades of orange, pink, red, yellow and violet? Or so many ways to use white to punch up said colors in multi-hued eye-poppers?
The name is actually accurate — new hybrids have been tried out there since 1917, making this the nation's oldest continuously operated rose test garden. But there's also a casual feel to the endless tiers of shrubs and vines, and visitors' reverence for roses tends to make for peaceful strolls.
The lone downside for Minnesotans: You'll never look at that perfectly nice rose garden on Lake Harriet's east side the same way again.
When it comes to airlines, I have never been able to follow my mother's advice: "If you can't say something nice about somebody, don't say anything at all." With escalating airfares capped by extra fees, serious space shrinkage and endless tarriances on the tarmac ("OK folks, now we have to de-ice the plane before we can take off"), it's been open season to let 'er rip on these operations.
Until last Wednesday.
That morning, my way better half got a phone call we had been dreading: Her cancer-stricken brother was near death in Nashville. With bereavement fares having all but disappeared — American and United dropped their policies earlier this year — I feared the worst in finding an airfare, especially since this scenario begged for an open-ended return date.
To the rescue came Southwest. I found a one-way fare for that afternoon of $214. I don't need to know the reason for such a reasonable rate. (Delta's best fare, by the way, was $570.) I'm just glad we have an airline that still operates that way.
Thank you, Southwest.

Greetings, Bearers!
Sorry this took so long, but here's the next installment in the Doctor Who short story. Enjoy!
J. Dean
Upon seeing it, the word was planted into the back of the Monitor's mind, spreading cold, tingling tendrils throughout his body. He wanted to look away from it, to run and hide like a child from an imaginary monster in the closet, but a paralyzing dread coupled with the motionlessness of his two companions prevented him from exhibiting his true reaction in an open manner.
And he feared that, were he to turn his back upon it, it would swoop upon him and drag him into a haunted abyss a thousand times colder and blacker than the Void which surrounded the Keeper's building.
It stood twice as tall as he did, perhaps even taller, and possessed a width across its chest and shoulders that may well have been impossible for him to encircle with outstretched arms. Limber, long limbs that appeared to be bone, sinew, and muscle covered by a tight and unyielding skin were attached to a trunk formed from the darkest of black, fashioned with the ripples and curves that denoted an absence of any excess fat. From the elongated, spindly fingers fell wisps of black smoke, as if it were bleeding some kind of noxious fume. Atop the shoulders sat a large, bulbous head, smooth and featureless, save for the twin protrusions which jutted from either side and formed a pair of horns that arced out beyond the shoulders and came together at a point central to the thing's "face"—if it indeed could be called a face, as no external organs of any sort could be discerned upon the head, not even eyes. The head tapered to a sharp, angular chin which rested against its chest, suggesting a state of dormancy.
Discomfort prevailing, the Monitor took a step away from it. He looked at the Librarian and the Paladin, and saw that, like him, they too had retreated.
"What is that?" the Paladin hissed. Her rifle was now tight in her grip, ready to be used.
"Something I found," the Keeper remarked, standing in front of it. She gave the trio half a smile. "I assure the three of you that it's quite harmless in this state."
The Monitor nodded, but did not approach. "Where did you find it?" the Librarian asked.
"In a desolate area, not far from the place which you have come to know as the Death Zone. But it was here long before all of that, before the time of Rassilon."
The Monitor turned his attention upon her, thankful to tear his eyes away from the mammoth monstrosity behind her. "It's a Gallifreyan creature?" he asked.
"I found it on our world, but it is not Gallifreyan in origin." She turned back, looking up at the sleeping giant. "It arrived here sometime in the infancy of the planet, from somewhere else beyond our knowledge, perhaps even from another dimension. Precisely why, I cannot say."
The Librarian moved to her side, reaching out and touching the transparent encasement. "Is it sentient?" he inquired.
"No… and yes. As absurd as it may sound, it is simultaneously both living and machine."
"Like a Cyberman," the Paladin put in.
"No, not like a Cyberman. The Cybermen impose their physical alterations upon unwilling subjects through violent and relatively primitive means. This—" she paused, stroking the glass, "—this is a perfect weaving together of the cybernetic and the organic. There is a seamless continuity to its structure. I can point out specific constructs within it which are artificial, in contrast to the aspects which are part of its natural biology, but to attempt to discern where the natural ends and the artificial begins is an impossible task to undertake. One simply blends into the other."
Merriana nodded her head, a satisfied smile filling her face as she faced her guests. "It is as perfect a balance of natural and artificial life as I have ever found in this universe. To compare the work of beings such as Cybermen to it is like comparing a stone-age wheel to the TARDIS in terms of transportation capability."
"So it's dormant at the moment," the Monitor said, unwilling to close the distance between himself and it. "When will it wake?"
"When I desire it to wake. Though my knowledge of the creature is limited, I can tell you that it seems to require a large amount of rest, as its energy expenditure is incredibly high, much like that of a shrew."
"A what?" the Paladin asked.
"Earth creature," the Librarian replied. "Requires almost ninety percent of its own body weight in food each day due to its high metabolism, or else it will die."
The Keeper nodded in the elder man's direction. "Precisely," she concurred, "except that in the case of the Absolute Rectifier, it needs vast amounts of rest rather than food as we understand it. It does need to consume, yes, and it subsists on a diet of something other than conventional food, but sleep is far more valuable to it in one sense, as it can regenerate itself in a limited sense through unconsciousness, as if sleep serves as a sort of medical treatment for it."
"I'm sorry, what did you call it?" the Monitor asked.
"The Absolute Rectifier."
"And where did you contrive that name?"
"From it, because that is its name."
The Monitor glanced at his two companions for a moment, then back at the Keeper as she continued. "An odd name, isn't it? But that is its designation nevertheless, given to it by beings who may have ceased to exist long before it arrived on Gallifrey. When I came across it, I also found with it fragments of writing, inscribed with a language which I don't dare pretend to understand. But when I woke it, it communicated with me, told me what it was called, and presented bits and pieces of its history to me, as fragmented and incomplete as the inscriptions that had accompanied it."
She walked to the other side of the tall cylinder, gazing at the almost featureless face. "It must have lost a great deal of its memory, because it gave me so little detail. But it told me it was weak, told me it was dying. It had preserved as much of itself as it could through dormancy, but having been asleep for so many millennia, it needed to rise and eat. I told it that I'd do what I could to help it."
She paused, looking at the other three with a soft expression. "Then the first attack came."
The Monitor frowned "First attack?" he asked.
"Then and there, at the site. Two Time Lords from the future—from my future, that is—came to intercept me. Deverost and Qotile, they were called. Members of the Council."
"How do you know this?" The Paladin challenged.
"Because they told me as much," Merriana replied with a sour look. "Braggarts, they were. Talked on and on about how they had been ordered to come back and stop me from following through with my 'diabolical plan,' as they put it. Sadistic ones, too. Acted like they were getting their jollies from trying to intimidate me. If they'd had any sort of torture device on hand, I'm sure they would have loved to apply it."
The Librarian mumbled something under his breath. "And what did you do, Keeper?" The Paladin asked.
"Me? I did nothing. The Absolute Rectifier, on the other hand…"
She took a step forward, a haunting stare filling her eyes. "It came to life," she began, speaking in a tone that barely exceeded a whisper, "and sprang from its place. Advanced on the two Time Lords with a speed I've never before seen from any creature, blurring through the air like a fleeting shadow, as if it were unhindered by any natural force in its movements. Before I could react, it was upon them, and placed one hand on each face. Then they disappeared—all three of them, along with the TARDIS the Time Lords had arrived in! Half a moment later, the Absolute Rectifier returned. It thanked me for providing it with nourishment."
"Nourishment?" the Monitor asked, "You mean it devoured the Time Lords?"
"Forgive me, Keeper—" the Librarian began.
"It did, in the blink of an eye."
"So it lives on flesh and blood?" the Monitor continued. "It consumes creatures?"
"Not the way you're thinking, Monitor."
"My dear Keeper, I beg your pardon, but who did you say the Time Lords were who confronted you?"
The young woman turned toward the old man. "Deverost and Qotile," she replied. "And I know what you're going to tell me."
"And what is that?" the Monitor asked.
"That no Time Lords called by those names ever existed."
The Paladin looked at the Librarian. "Is she telling the truth?" she asked.
"She is," the hairless Gallifreyan replied, nodding.
"Because the Absolute Rectifier did not simply kill them. It erased them from history. They never existed."
The Monitor looked up at the ominous giant, unresponsive to the conversation about it. He took a step forward—a small step. "It did what?"
"That's how it survives, Monitor. The Absolute Rectifier targets creatures and consumes them by essentially devouring their past, up to the point of their conception. It feeds upon their past existence through this method, essentially absorbing a lifetime in a fraction of a second."
"Amazing!" the Librarian hissed.
The Paladin moved to the Keeper's side. "Yet it doesn't endanger you," she said.
The other female shook her head. "It has something to do with the bond we've forged when it first awoke," she replied. "It looks upon me as its liaison, for lack of a better way of putting it."
"You mean as its master," the Monitor quipped.
"I don't think so," the Keeper answered, her tone soft and pensive. "I don't command it, per se, Monitor. I feel no sense of superiority over it. Nor do I detect a tension of power between the two of us. It's… well, I suppose you could say that the relationship is not completely unlike that of an ideal marriage in which the husband and wife are on the same level of thought and purpose in every conceivable way. It's a bond so perfect, so symbiotic, that it could almost be considered spiritual."
The Paladin wrinkled her nose. "Who'd want to marry that?" she scowled, gesturing at the giant with the tip of her rifle.
"I don't mean it in the physical sense, child," the Keeper replied, winking.
The Monitor put his hands to his forehead. "But I'm lost here," he said. "This thing, this—'Absolute Rectifier,' as you put it—it simply caused two Time Lords to cease to exist?"
"Yes," the Keeper murmured.
"Meaning that, in so doing, no other person would realize what had happened."
"Precisely, Monitor. Deverost and Qotile are not simply dead; they never came into being at all. They were never born. They never grew up. If there were any significant historical acts caused by one or both of their actions, those acts never came to pass, or at least didn't come to pass by their hand, meaning that history somehow changed. And the only reason I know this is because of my bond with the Absolute Rectifier. If I were not bonded to it, I would be as ignorant of their identities and existence as you.
"As a matter of fact, that's one of the amazing things about this creature: it's ability to defy what we consider to be fixed points in time through its ability to erase people from history. It is not bound to our rules, whether naturally occurring or artificially put into place. When the Absolute Rectifier decides to eliminate a being, that being will be eliminated, and not a single person will remember it after it has happened, nobody but me and the Rectifier itself."
"How!?" the Monitor cried, shaking his head. "How is this possible!?"
Merriana held up a hand. "I have a theory about this," she said, pointing to a waist-high object beside the unconscious Rectifier. "Observe."
Greetings, Bearers!
Finally, after years of wandering in the wilderness (read: being nitpicky about how my stories look to the point of being neurotic), I am pleased to say that Surrealities, Part I, is now available on Smashwords for only 99 cents!
(Pause for the audience to say "It's about time!" :D )
So come on over and check out my first installment of a series of short stories that range from science fiction to outright horror. Each part of Surrealities will have a bit of a different theme, although all of them will include something unusual and off-kilter (just like me!). And my intention is that the next installment won't take nearly as long for publication, so you should be seeing Part II coming out much sooner… so long as I am not abducted by aliens. Again.
Okay, back to insanity for me. Enjoy the stories, and let me know what you think of them! And as always, if you like them, tell other people about them!
See you in the Vein!
J. Dean

For Christmas games, NBA on a first-name basis
Published July 21, 2014, Page 4
The NBA plans to use its Christmas Day games again this year to roll out a set of newly styled jerseys, this time featuring players' first names on the back of the uniform, placed below the players' numbers.
The NBA will begin selling the jerseys on Nov. 14.
"Our players are so identified with their first names, and we
Arena said putting the players' names below the numbers is a way to call additional attention to the change. While the NBA has not released its 2014-15 schedule yet, Arena said that like last year, five games will be played on Christmas Day.
Names will go below the numbers, another change.
The NBA last season also experimented with putting players' nicknames on the back of team jerseys, with players from the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets wearing the nicknamed jerseys for three games.
And while the short-sleeved jerseys may be absent from this year's Christmas Day games, the look isn't going away fully, even though the league's biggest star, LeBron James, was critical of the styling last season.
"Some teams embrace it," Arena said, "some don't."

I can't be of much help to you other than to let you know that Theodore's wife was Sarah Ann Barrett. However, I am hoping that maybe you can fill me on some missing details regarding this family. Theodore is my wife's great great great grandfather. Until I saw your posting the only thing we knew were the names. We know none of the children except their son Benjamin Thomas Deaver who was born in Oct of 1848 in Rockbridge, Virginia. If you can fill us in concerning the places that Thomas and Sarah were born as well as all the info you have on their children we would much appreciate it. It's great to cross paths with a fellow relative!

main index
A partial character list for Magick Chicks. See also:
open/close all folders
Main Characters
Melissa Hellrune
The leader of the three protagonists, collectively known to fans as the Hellrune Coven, sixteen year-old witch Melissa Hellrune and her friends have been transferred to Artemis Academy for causing a school-wide gender bending incident back at their old Ghoul School Charybdis Heights. Once at the top of the social ladder, Melissa has immediately found herself little more than a nobody at their new school. She's determined to regain her rightful status as 'queen bee' and immediately begins plotting on how to take down Faith Abbott, the student council president and the single most popular girl in Artemis Academy. All while trying to keep under wraps that they're witches in a school for monster hunters.
Jacqui Brightmoon
Childhood friend of Melissa and the second of the protagonists sixteen year-old Jacqui is for all intents and purposes a stereotypical boy crazy high school girl. Like Melissa, Jacqui is a witch who specializes in illusions and glamour. Unlike Melissa and Cerise, Jacqui doesn't seem nearly as concerned with rising to the top of Artemis' social system. Usually the ditz of the group Jacqui's attention span is about as long as the distance to the nearest cute guy. Though easily distracted her moments of competence raise questions of if it's just an act or not...
Cerise Darkshade
The third and youngest of the protagonists, fifteen year-old Cerise Darkshade may very well be even more ambitious than Melissa in climbing the social ladder. With a plotting streak that would make Starscream himself proud, Cerise seems to be constantly thinking of ways to overthrow Melissa as leader of the Hellrune Coven and has even used her as a shield against a gender bending beam during the Charybdis Heights incident. Now at the bottom of the social ladder with Melissa and Jacqui, Cerise has set her sights beyond the coven and is now focused on the ultimate victory of reaching the top of Artemis Academy before Melissa can.
Faith Abbott
Faith is Artemis Academy's morally grey student council president, the most popular student, and has the student body wrapped around her finger. She's also the most powerful esper in the school's history! A hedonist, she freely abuses her presidential power and wastes no time in "welcoming" the coven (via hazing ritual) to Artemis. With formalities out of the way, Faith immediately sets out to bring the one girl she has no hold over under her charms: Melissa.
Tiffany Winters
Like the Hellrune coven, sixteen year-old vampire hunter Tiffany Winters originated in Eerie Cuties where she spent most of her time trying (and failing) to hunt the students of Charybdis Heights. When not at school she's usually either busy with her job at the local department store or continuing her hunt of Eerie Cuties' Layla, a vampire who is oddly enough her best friend as well. An overly-zealous monster hunter, Tiffany is the closest thing the Hellrune coven has to a friend in Artemis Academy after saving them from their first run in with Faith.
Sandi Mnemonic
Faith's secretary and student council intel expert, Sandi Mnemonic has a crush on Faith as big as the sun itself and quite literally purrs when praised by her. Despite less than stellar treatment Sandi is intensely loyal to Faith going along with whatever plan she hatches and does whatever she can to please her, even if it leads to physical pain in some cases. She has a massive amount of disdain for Ash, which is reasonable considering he and Faith are more or less dating. She also seems to have accidentally become friends with Jacqui, even though Sandi doesn't like Jacqui and Jacqui's too much of a dingbat to notice... well, basically anything.
Ash is the ace of Apollo Academy and Faith's more or less boyfriend. Not much is known about Ash at this point beyond the fact that he works (and apparently lives) at a Chinese restaurant, is skilled enough to fight Faith on even ground, take on multiple lesser opponents at once, and is seemingly adored by the girls of Artemis as much as Faith herself.
Callista "Deadeye" Archer
The last member of Faith's trio is her best friend, Callista, who's the captain of the school's Archery Club and serves as Faith's lieutenant. As such, she enjoys a fair amount of popularity of her own, due to her "dead aim". She initially appears confident and focused, but is actually rather shy. At least, when it comes to matters of love.
The captain of the school's Ninja Club and a member of the student council. Best described as "tsundere", she rarely says a word more than she has to, and doesn't seem to make friends easily. But once anyone earns her respect, she opens up a bit, revealing her somewhat softer side - with Gabrielle and Amelia being her closest friends.
Leandro Delatorre
One of the teachers at Artemis.
The goddess of witchcraft.
A relatively weak esper with the power to talk to animals.
A member of the Combat Corps.
Melissa's "father" who is actually a woman using Glamour to make everyone think she is an extremely buff man. She's actually Melissa's co-mother with Anastasia, but lost the coin toss to determine who was going to play the role of Melissa's daddy.
Melissa's mom, formerly (or perhaps not-so-formerly) Queen Obscuria, ruler of the Shadow Dimension and Musical Starlight's nemesis. A shy girl who accidentally banished herself to the Shadow Dimension and worked her way up to evil overlord, it's implied that she's not quite human any more. Her love for Melissa is not in question, however
The Wand
A mysterious wand of incredible power that appeared after Melissa tried to draw power from the school. Used to belong to the heroine Musical Starlight aka. Dakota.
Mystery Girl
A mysterious girl who first appeared to Mel in her dreams, and in person soon afterward. Since then, she's shown up occasionally, appearing in Melissa's subconscious at different times. Just who she is, what her goals are, or if she has any relationship with The Wand, remains unknown. In chapter 18, she's revealed to be the spirit of the wand while Melissa has it; Dakota remembered when she had the wand, the spirit took the form of a "damn annoying cheerleader.".

Ayotte holds her ground : Rookie tosses Rice at Obama
Credit U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte with holding her ground on the deplorable and ill-considered Obama administration plan to name Susan Rice our Secretary of State. Coming from the state whose native son, Daniel Webster, once served with distinction in that post, Ayotte may have a particular appreciation for the importance of the post.
Ayotte, along with fellow Republicans John McCain and Lindsey Graham, took the lead in challenging the now-scuttled Rice plan, hatched by President Obama as a payoff for one of his Chicago political cronies.
McCain and Graham are longtime Senate and political pros, who have built up the tough skins and political street credibility needed when mounting such a challenge. Ayotte, by contrast, is a rookie in the ways of Washington.
Those who don't know her would not have been surprised had she wilted and wavered under the political and liberal media fire that was directed her way for opposing a newly reelected President.
But Sen. Ayotte is guided by facts and common sense. Ambassador Rice was clearly dissembling on the subject of what she knew and when she knew it on the Benghazi attack that left an American ambassador dead. To ignore that fact and put Rice in such an important post would have been exactly the wrong thing to do.
Ayotte is a rookie, but she has the markings of being a Rookie of the Year for Republicans, which is no doubt why her political foes here are already trying to gin up bad reviews for her every move.

Duggars Adoption Plan To Bring Kids From Chinese OrphanageAdoption, Duggars, Duggars Adoption, Jim Bob Duggars, Michelle Duggars
The Duggars are seeking an adoption even though they already have 19 children and two grandchildren on the way.
"We are open to the idea of adoption," Michelle, 45, said in a statement to People magazine. "We are praying about it, and we will see what God has in store. Love for children has been placed on our hearts."
The ever-expanding crew — eldest son Josh, 25, and his wife, Anna, 24, just recently announced they are expecting their third child in June — were moved by a visit to an orphanage in China on their recent trip there.
"The kids are definitely pushing towards wanting us to open our home up to another child or more," says Michelle. "They see how much we have been blessed with and how little so many children have and they want to share. We tell our children that would have to be something that is God's will for our family, and we will see if it is. Our children love children, and we all do."
Though Michelle and Jim Bob, 45, lost their last pregnancy — a girl they named Jubilee — to miscarriage in 2011, Michelle says, "We are open to whatever is in store. It doesn't really matter whether I would have another child or we would adopt, but we want to approach it with an open heart."
She adds, "We have friends that have adopted children who are a great influence in our lives, and we have talked about their experiences. So it's something we've considered. We have to know for sure that is what God wants for us to do.""When he gives us a child [through pregnancy], there is no doubt in our minds that is what He wants, but when it comes to adoption, we would have to know for sure that was His will."
Their visit to Beijing was filmed for TLC's special 19 Kids & Counting: Duggars Do Asia, which airs Tuesday (9 p.m. ET) on TLC.

Self-expression is the choice between satisfying the stirrings of my emotional conscience and burning bridges. Good behavior makes me feel like a soloist in a symphony with an indifferent, but hostile audience. Play flawlessly and the audience is silent, but hit a wrong note and receive hisses and jeers.
I don't want to be difficult, disagreeable or MEAN, but I can be. I don't want to be different for the sake of being unique, such contrivances are pedestrian antics of a lost soul. I'm no longer lost, but I haven't reached my destination either. But I am/can be different because we cannot ALL BE THE SAME. In my circle of reality, I am the lone femme–single, never married and childless.

This past January, Uncle Murda recorded and released Hard to Kill; the story of a shootout with the NYPD in which he was grazed in the head by a bullet. Murda's rival (and longtime mixtape assassin) Papoose smelled something fishy, however, and doesn't buy the supposed "crossfire" story. Using the instrumental to the Biggie classic Who Shot Ya, Pap makes various claims that indicate the tale is fictional. His strongest point is arguably that had he been shot by the police, he would currently be six feet deep. DJBooth will keep you posted on the inevitable response from Murda.

The big blue big-box retailer has decided Blu is the way to go. Blu-ray, that is, and that's what Best Buy will be peddling more prominently beginning next month in-store and online, and recommending to consumers as the choice when it comes to high-definition DVDs.
A company press release says Best Buy is "taking a step forward in addressing consumer confusion about high-definition formats." Looks like it won't be long now before there is no more confusion.
Seems to be a good time to ride the Blu-ray tidal wave, now that online movie rental giant Netflix also decided to go Blu-ray (and in-store rental giant Blockbuster went down that road a while ago).
"Consumers have told us that they want us to help lead the way. We've listened to our customers, and we are responding. Best Buy will recommend Blu-ray as the preferred format," said Brian Dunn, Best Buy's president and chief operating officer. "Our decision to shine a spotlight on Blu-ray Disc players and other Blu-ray products is a strong signal to our customers that we believe Blu-ray is the right format choice for them."
Dunn continued, "Best Buy has always believed that the customer will benefit from a widely-accepted single format that would offer advantages such as product compatibility and expanded content choices. Because we believe that Blu-ray is fast emerging as that single format, we have decided to focus on Blu-ray products."
There were no specifics about any hardware or software sales to accompany this push to Blu-ray (the cheapest one listed on the Best Buy website is $399), but we're keeping our fingers crossed—especially those of us who grabbed HD DVD players last holiday season on mega-sale.

Didn't think there'd be any takers
I know this sounds very cheeky but I'm going to ask it anyways. I'm currently working on a project - a CMS system for a football team.
This is mainly because we currently use Joomla and it's a bit of a pain, so I'm working on something that will do everything an (amateur) football club could possibly want the site to do.
I have setup basic CSS using a template I found but it looks very basic, and I'm not very good at thinking up design templates.
Would anybody be willing to write a sexy CSS file that will be released as the default template? Full recognition will be given
Cheeky but worth a try
Didn't think there'd be any takers
Writing a CMS from scratch is a bit of a big job if it's only for a single punter.
Maybe something like Wordpress or a fairly customisable blog would be appropriate enough?
Failing that, I don't know what else to suggest if you're writing your own nothing out of the box will fit.
I wouldnt mind taking a look, I made the edugeek moodle themes and have a bit of web design experience.
I know there's various packages out there such as JoomLeague but these are way to complex, especially for a novice user. The other reason I am doing it is to improve my knowledge of PHP and MySQL. I don't think there's any better way to learn than having a real life website to create.
@DanIT - I'll zip up a couple of the pages and the current CSS and send you a link later on today. Cheers
Definitely, I'd agree with that.
Have a search for css templates.
Here's a pretty good website just for reference on what you can do with css. I know it's not exactly what your looking for but I still like the site
css Zen Garden: The Beauty in CSS Design
I've looked and looked and managed to find a one with a 3 column layout but I wanted something a little more bespoke (picky I know). I know how to write the CSS and things like that, I just don't have an aesthetically worked design brain if that makes sense.
Could you get the pupils to design it on a piece of paper? Turn it into a competition or something. Saves you designing it ;-)
Or do what I usually do, just start with a basic layout adding the information. Then start thinking of a colour scheme you want to use. ColorSchemer Gallery | Website-ready color schemes for ColorSchemer
With the colour scheme start designing the menu, keep it simple and don't over 'crowd' the page. Maybe for the logo have some one kicking a football with the text on the left, right or infront of the image.
It's the worst part starting off, I never know how to design the site LOL.
Like I say, I have a basic CSS at the minute and it's doing a job - but I want something 'sexy' and 'eye-catching'. If nobody wants to take a look then I will look at it myself - but I just thought there were people on here who could knock something up in minutes and I was just testing the water to see if anybody would be interested.
Hi hightower id be interested in giving you a hand with this
Yep Hightower no problems with that, just PM me when your ready to go ahead.

Funny Phobias
by Slacker and Steve
posted Apr 2 2014 8:40PM
A 22-year-old British woman says she suffers from such a severe phobia that she can't walk into a supermarket without having a panic attack. The cause of these attacks? Cheese. Melissa North says she developed her cheese phobia as a young child when a friend gave her cheese on toast. Since then, she bursts into tears and cold sweats whenever she sees it. She says, "It just looks awful – so gooey and disgusting. It makes me feel sick." The height of her cheese phobia came when she was 15. She says the kids at school knew about it and teased her by throwing cream cheese at her. North says her friends and family still mock her phobia, but she insists it's a serious problem.

What did you eat for lunch yesterday? Did you enjoy it? Do you even remember? Often we wolf down food without even experiencing the pleasures (or displeasures) of the meal. There are many factors that contribute to a mind-body disconnection when eating. Patterns of dieting and overeating can cause us to lose touch with our body's natural signals. Emotional conflicts around food can also cause us to disconnect from our internal experience; ie. when you "blew your diet" by eating that cake, did you even enjoy it or were you so consumed by the surrounding emotions that the experience of eating the cake became secondary? Multitasking by eating in front of the computer screen, television, or while cooking dinner for your family has similar results. To reestablish a mind-body connection during eating and to fully experience your next meal or snack, try this mindful eating exercise. You will need 6 jelly beans or other small food item that you have available (grapes, raisons, and nuts also work well for this activity); I will use jelly beans in this example but substitute whatever works for you.
Hold 1 jelly bean in the palm of your hand. Imagine that you are an alien from another planet who has just arrived on Earth. You have never seen this item before in your life. What is it? Try to describe it without using the name. Remember: you are an alien and you don't know what a 'jelly bean' is. What does it look like? What color is it? Is it shiny or dull? Is there texture? Does it leave any residue on your hand? What is the temperature? Use your other hand to touch the item. What does it feel like? Is it hard or soft? Smooth or rough? Any new observations? Is there any noise that you hear from touching the item? After you have fully described the item using vision and touch, bring the item to your nose and smell it. Is there a scent? What does it smell like? Bring the item to your lips. Hold it against your lips and notice any sensations. Are they any sensations on the inside of your mouth? Perhaps watering from the anticipation of eating? When you are ready, place the item inside your mouth but do not chew it yet. Is there any taste from the unchewed item? Does this change over time? What is the texture of the item in your mouth? Is there any sound that the item makes in your mouth? When you are ready, chew the item. Does the taste change? Any new sounds? Any new sensations? When you are done chewing, swallow the item. How has the item changed forms from its journey from your palm to now? After you have swallowed the item, observe any sensations in your mouth. Any lingering taste from the item that you have just eaten? Are you experiencing any emotional reactions? Do you notice any changes in your level of hunger or fullness after having eaten this item?
