These were a struggle. Flavor was really good, but after pressing them they cracked and broke and were oddly shaped due to the breaking. I cook a lot, and have made a lot of flour tortillas. This was my first shot at corn and next time I'll try a recipe blending flour and masa harina.

Netflix's set-top box brings 10,000 movies to your living room
Netflix has teamed up with hardware manufacturer Roku to create its first set-top box, a tiny device that gives you access to over 10,000 movies on your TV with no discs necessary. The little powerhouse will set you back a mere $99, and the service is completely free and unlimited with every Netflix plan over $9 a month.
This looks to be the best option we've seen yet for set-top box downloads. It streams everything automatically, meaning there's no wait and no downloading. There's no hard drive, so you won't be storing any of the videos locally, but since you can stream whatever you want, whenever you want, that doesn't really matter. The selection has loads of older stuff with newer titles being added daily. I want it.

KeepCups are available in a multitude of colourways.
Run by a small team, the social media channels of Australian innovation KeepCup successfully engage a community of enthusiastic users.
Abigail Forsyth, CEO of KeepCup previously owned Melbourne based Café chain, BlueBag. When she wasn't able to source re-useable cups which fit under the coffee machine properly, she set to designing one of her own. Design and development of what are now the popular KeepCups started in October 2007. The product went on sale in June 2009.
"We wanted KeepCup to echo the disposable [cup], so that carrying the KeepCup would not necessarily be conspicuous. We wanted the silhouette to have soft, matt curved shapes as subtle clues to its difference and intention," says Forsyth.
"We knew the business if successful would need to be global," says Forsyth. The KeepCup online store now trades in six currencies and there are plans to include multi-language options in 2012.
On 28 November subscribers to the KeepCup newsletter received a simple email, 'Happy Cyber Monday! Like us on Facebook and we'll reveal the deal.' KeepCup Facebook likes increased by over 20% in one day.
Not to leave Twitter out of the mix, a new campaign for December sees KeepCup donate $5 to charity Coffee Kids for every Facebook like and Twitter follow received from 1 – 25 December 2011. The charity helps with the education and welfare of the children of families on plantations.
"Social media is fantastic and really makes your brand and what you stand for transparent," says Forsyth. "Social media provides us with a unique opportunity to connect and converse with KeepCup users, which builds trust, rapport and a clear voice in our network. It enables us to visibly align our KeepCup with companies who have the power to influence its use," says Forsyth.
"With a behaviour change product like KeepCup it's all about permission to use," says Forsyth of the replacement for disposeable coffee cups. "There are lots of ways people seek that permission – the best is seeing others use the KeepCup, but the endorsement of enthusiastic strangers and the coffee community have been critical to the take up of the KeepCup."
One consumer comment can have a great effect. "Someone tweeted last week that a guy using a KeepCup is hot, we retweeted and I have seen it retweeted at least 10 times since!" says Forsyth.
KeepCup's Twitter, Facebook and blog are managed by the marketing team, with input from Forsyth. "I really enjoy the connection to the customers, and you learn a lot from them. It is also important in a business like KeepCup, that relies on word of mouth to establish a clear and consistent voice," she says.
KeepCup has plans to include video content in their communications in 2012. A collection of AFL and Artist Collab KeepCups will also launch in 2012.

For over fifty years Henry has lived with anterograde amnesia, a form of profound memory loss which prevents new events from reaching his long-term memory. As a result his only memories are those he possessed prior to his amnesia, and the small window of moments immediately preceding the present.
The amnesia frequently depicted in fiction is a very rare retrograde variety known as dissociative fugue, where one's identity and all memories prior to the pivotal event are compromised. In contrast, anterograde amnesia does not deprive the sufferer of their identity, their past, or their skills; it merely prevents new memories from forming. As a consequence one's final memories are frozen in perpetuity, often accompanied by a constant sensation that one has just awoken from an "unconscious" state which filled the intervening time.
Henry's handicap is the unintended result of experimental brain surgery performed in 1953. In his late teens the highly intelligent student began to experience frequent grand mal seizures, characterized by loss of consciousness, muscle spasms, and rigidity. The frequency of these epileptic events increased to the point that he was stricken with spontaneous episodes of unconsciousness every few minutes. After exploring every other avenue known to contemporary medicine, Dr. William Scoville administered a radical resection of the man's medial temporal lobes in a desperate bid to reclaim some quality of life for young Henry. In that respect the experimental operation was a success-- the patient's severe seizures were reduced dramatically after the operation-- however the surgeon was distressed to discover that the removal of the hippocampi had stripped Henry of his ability to form new memories.
H.M. has been described as a friendly and articulate man with a higher-than-average IQ, sporting a charming personality in spite of his condition. Now in his early eighties, he still vividly recalls events from his childhood such as the stock market crash of 1929, but he is stricken with renewed grief every time he learns of his mother's death. The grief is short-lived, however, as the substance of the news soon slips from the feeble grasp of his "working memory." In an interview with researchers, he described the sensation:
"Right now, I'm wondering, have I done or said anything amiss? You see, at this moment everything looks clear to me, but what happened just before? That's what worries me. It's like waking from a dream. I just don't remember."
Like most anterograde amnesiacs, Henry experienced a degree of retrograde amnesia as well, blurring the details of the months leading up to the fateful operation.
Similar cases of anterograde amnesia have appeared over the years, often caused by Korsakoff's Syndrome, a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency brought on by chronic alcoholism, malnutrition, eating disorders, or poisoning. This strongly suggests that thiamine is necessary to maintain the memory-writing features of the brain. Some abnormal viral infections can also produce the affliction, as is the case with a famed music expert named Clive Wearing. His ability to store memories was destroyed by a rogue infection of the herpes simplex 1 virus which attacked his brain's hippocampus rather than triggering the typical cold sores. Other known causes include brain tumors, oxygen deprivation, and dementia-related diseases such as Alzheimer's. In each instance it is found that the hippocampi have been compromised, indicating that these small structures are vital in laying down long-term memories. The hippocampus does not seem to play a role in recollection, however, since existing memories remain accessible.
Though anterograde amnesiacs are blocked from storing new information, researchers were astonished to discover that subjects are nonetheless capable of mastering new and complex tasks over time. Subjects who repeatedly practice skills such as backwards writing or guitar-playing can demonstrate measurable improvement, though in each instance the subject believes that he or she is attempting the task for the first time. This insight cast serious doubt upon the long-held belief that all memory is stored in a common mental reservoir. It also demonstrated that procedural memory-- the "how to" memory of motor skills-- is not governed by the exact same circuitry as episodic memory (autobiographical events) and semantic memory (general knowledge and facts). Additionally, some patients have experienced the Tetris Effect hours or days after playing the game during experiments; they describe vivid dreams of falling Tetris shapes though they possess no conscious memory of the game's existence.
Over the years a modest amount of semantic information has actually managed to seep into Henry's long-term memory, suggesting that his brain may be struggling to find alternate pathways with sporadic success. He knows that a president named John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and he can draw a roughly accurate diagram of a home where he lived for a few years following his surgery. Henry seems untroubled by the elderly face which stares back at him from the mirror, suggesting that he is unsurprised by the notion that decades that have passed since his life-changing operation. When asked what he thought about how he looked, he responded matter-of-factly, "I'm not a boy." He also seems to have learned that his memory is broken and that scientists are studying him to discover more about the human mind. Once, when asked whether he is happy, Henry responded "Yes" without hesitation. He followed with, "the way I figure it is, what they find out about me helps them to help other people."
Small talk with H.M. tends to be a bit repetitive, but occasionally revealing. During a visit to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to conduct memory tests, Dr. Corkin asked Henry if he knew where he was as they strolled down a nondescript corridor. "Why of course," he replied with a grin, "I'm at MIT!"
Taken aback, Dr. Corkin asked, "How do you know that?"
Laughing, Henry pointed at a nearby student wearing an MIT sweater. "Got you that time!"
Not only did the event demonstrate his intact sense of humor, but it showed that his powers of deduction are unhindered by his memory malady. On another occasion Henry was asked what he does to try to remember things. "Well," he replied with a chuckle, "That I don't know 'cause I don't remember what I tried."
Owing to his unfortunate ailment Henry M. will never be able to understand the inestimable gift he has given to the field of neurology. The amnesic octogenarian presently resides in a Connecticut nursing home, where even today he continues to help researchers to coax secrets from the human mind. Furthermore, Henry's lifelong contribution to science will not cease upon his death; he and his court-appointed guardian have agreed to donate his brain to science so that neurologists may one day examine the offending lesions in detail.
Though science still possesses a poor understanding of memory's machinations, Henry and other sufferers of anterograde amnesia have provided a considerable number of indispensable clues. Their unwitting contributions will not be soon forgotten.
Update 02 December 2008, in memoriam: Sadly, the infamous and mysterious "H.M." has passed on. R.I.P., Henry Gustav Molaison. This article has been updated with subsequently released photos of Henry.

Here's a great look at Accent Inns and the pacific Salmon Foundations Fish for the Future Program

This weekend is Father's day. Last year I presented a blog post about the top 10 things a father and daughter could do together. This year I thought I'd offer some insights, my observations on what effect being a father has on a fella and in my opinion, the most important thing Fathers can do for their children.
First off let me give away a secret, dispel a myth, breakdown the facade that us men put forth (sorry guys). You may see us as macho men, big strong guys that can build anything or tear anything down, the creators of life's inventions, the leaders of men, captains of industry, masters of our domains and the heads of the household (ok I was pushing it on that last one…). In truth we are at our very best , pushed to achieve, most vulnerable and most satisfied when we are known as "Dad". Now I know some of you may scoff at this notion, believe that I exaggerate but alas I have real proof. (more…)
For several years now Accent Inns has been a supporter of The Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command. This past weekend the Accent Inn BC hotel chain was honored with a plaque recognizing our partnership. Mr. Dave Sinclair, President of The Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon, presented John Espley on behalf of Accent Inns with award and several kind words at the legions Britannia branch (very close to the Accent Inn Victoria hotel). Why is it important that Accent Inns works with such a group…..
The Royal Canadian Legion is a very special organization in that it has not only a long history but serves a wide and diversified role in our communities. The first thing that may come to mind is veteran's services and the poppy campaign. For the past 81 Years, The Royal Canadian Legion has been devoted to caring for Canada's veterans and their families and working with current serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces by providing: Veterans Transition Program, Military Family Resource Centers, Overseas Blankets of Hope for Injured Personnel, Support for the Troops Morale Fund, Government Advocacy, Acts of Remembrance. (more…)
This recent article (Lessons From the Land and Sea) by the Sierra Club of BC (Accent Inns is a supporter) really touches on several areas of interest or connection for those of us that live and work in B.C. This caught my attention as an Accent Inns team member because we are proud to work with so many of the local first nations bands around BC, support groups like the Sierra club of BC in their efforts to protect our local environment and the fact that Eco-tourism is an important part of our economy, makes this article by the Sierra club well worth the read. (more…)
You don't need a truck and a catchy little tune to hand out ice cream and make people smile. My community relations work for Accent Inns is one of the most rewarding and wonderful things I do. Recently during a very warm day here in Victoria, I had the opportunity to volunteer with several other gentlemen and serve ice cream to a large number of seniors and disabled residents at a local Hospital. Every year a good friend of mine named Stephen Godfrey, a member of Haida Lodge, a local Masonic lodge, organizes fellow freemasons to donate and serve ice cream to patients in the extended and acute care wards of a local hospital.
Time Management: Mystery or Magic?
Ok here we go into the wonderful and sometimes mystical world of "time management".
When you ask many young and even seasoned professionals about their time management skills they suddenly lower the head and speak into their chest just like a child who knows he's done something wrong. Time management is a powerful tool and I've met several successful business people and athletic achievers that tout it as "their" secret to success. A couple of great examples for my are my former boss and mentor, Terry Farmer, and many of the excellent athletes that make up the Camosun Chargers College athletic program. These "kids" really have it together! We all know we need time management skills but either feel like we've never really achieved what we need to, or even worse, are completely intimidated by the subject. Find your examples as I have. They are all around you I promise. (more…)
With Father's day just around the corner I began thinking of all the wonderful things that a Dad could do with his daughter. Am I qualified to write such a list? Well the fact that I was a kid once myself (hard to believe I know…), I had an awesome father who really showed me and taught me about the world around us, and the most import reference I can offer is that I am the father of beautiful, talented 9 year old Anne-Marie.
So with all those qualifications and the thoughts of father's day looming, in this article I have reflected on some of the ideas and things I have done and shared with my daughter of the past many years.
Vancouver Airport Hotel helps riders.
The Victoria Tech Team started to put the wheels in motion at a Viatec Christmas. The results; a cycling team of 22 Victoria BC tech professionals, and months of training for the 260km ride from Vancouver to Seattle in support of the BC Cancer Foundation's 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer.
The Victoria Tech Team Riders championed by team Captain Tony Melli is made up of a wide range of members from the local tech community, including software entrepreneurs, business owners, tech investors, government agents, educators, consultants and IT experts.
Several months ago Mandy Farmer, the President of Accent Inns put the word out that she was looking for volunteers to participate in the Power to Play adventure race. The race is in support of the great work done by the Power to Be organization with challenges designed by Anthony Bishop who also designs for the TV shows Survivor and the Amazing race. Always having community spirit and a sense of adventure it didn't take long for several volunteers to come forth from the Head office staff and so was born the Accent Inn "Dusters". The intrepid volunteers (or sacrifices depending on your perspective) were Dave Splawski, Chris Knight, John Espley and our "fearless leader" Mandy Farmer. (more…)
21 Billion Blooms in 2010
Victoria, B.C. – The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Butchart Gardens and Tourism Victoria have once again teamed up to record the scene at one of the World's best Bloomin' cities. The total number of blooms counted in the Annual Greater Victoria Flower Count was 21,691,666,716. Oak Bay was the leading Municipality with over 14 billion blooms followed by Victoria with almost 5 billion blooms. The winning class was Ms L Westby's class from Willows Elementary and they win a trip to Butchart Gardens.
Greater Victoria is one of the best places on the planet to live work and play. The annual flower count is a testament to the wonderful climate and community spirit. Truly a gold medal performance by Mother Nature this year! (more…)

After a brief lull here, I'm getting back up to speed.
Valentine's Day; I just substituted shamrocks. With this booklet, there are icons to go with every page, plus a patterned sentence calling for a fill-in. This is great for early literacy, vocabulary, speaking in simple sentences, and for the concept of 'on'. If you want to extend this to articulations---'SH' comes to mind!
I'm a big believer in Joint Action Routines---once you establish a routine with a child, you can change the activity a little, and give the child a chance to learn new vocabulary, but with the same routine. This book is an example of that---earlier it was Hearts Everywhere, now it's shamrocks! Have fun!

The first time we hard about the adaptation of the incredible Kaman K-Max helo to an unmanned role, we weren't sure we believed it... but the recent data coming out of the trials and deployment suggest that this is an idea whose time has come.
Lockheed Martin and Kaman joined forces to adapt the K-MAX to an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) capable of autonomous or remote controlled cargo delivery -- with a specific mission in mind -- battlefield cargo resupply.
The K-MAX UAS allows the Marines to deliver supplies by day or night to precise locations without risk to personnel. It boasts some exceptional capabilities... such as the ability to fly at higher altitudes with a larger payload than any other rotary wing UAS, and via its four hook carousel, the K-MAX UAS has the cojones to deliver more cargo to more locations in just one flight.
It's been a grueling development process... The R&D team has flown the K-MAX UAS nearly 400 hours in autonomous mode since joining forces in 2007. The rugged system can lift and deliver a full 6,000 lbs of cargo at sea level and more than 4,000 pounds at 15,000 ft density altitude. ANN is told that the K-MAX 'continues to exceed expectations' as an unmanned platform' having met all unmanned milestones to date while the piloted bird still continues to build a serious rep in the commercial logging and fire-fighting industries. The aircraft remains optionally piloted for ease of National Airspace Operations, occasional manned mission flexibility, ferry flights, rapid integration of new mission equipment, while allowing rapid return-to-service activities.
To date, the K-Max fleet has accumulated more than 255,000 flight hours since 1994.

I am now half done with #58! I just finished Hemingway's A Moveable Feast this weekend, and absolutely loved it. For being such a bookworm, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I'd previously only ever read portions of Hemingway. So after finishing A Movable Feast I put holds on 5 more of his books at the library!
OK, five classics down, and five to go. What should I read next?
I would put One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey on your list.
I Just love A Moveable Feast its my favorite book thanks for sharing your experience :)
I loved Atlas! One of my all time favs. You might also try The Fountainhead by Rand.
I also highly recommend "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Dumas. A rip-roaring adventure and utterly enjoyable. I'm reading it right now and loving every minute.
I love Hemingway too! The Sun Also Rises is one of my favorite books ever.
Classics to tackle: Great Expectations (shortest and most romantic Dickens), Tender is the Night (more fabulous partying in Europe to follow Hemingway), Brideshead Revisited, The Stranger, Catcher in the Rye, Grapes of Wrath…

In 2010, the firm unveiled the Plumen 001 as the world's first designer energy-saving bulb and all-purpose alternative to the 60W incandescent bulb. The award-winning bulb is now sold worldwide and is included in the MoMa's permanent art collection. After three years of development, the Plumen 002 was introduced today as a compact florescent light bulb that also boasts the warmth and output of a 30W incandescent bulb with only 25% of the energy use. Designed for ambient settings such as coffee shops, this cozy, mood-setting bulb features a sensuous sculpted geometry to add an artistic flair to everyday environments.
To help secure the expected retail price of $35, Plumen has turned to Kickstarter to reach critical mass on order volume. The crowdfunding campaign for the 7W designer bulb will run from today until February 9th, 2014.

Actually, induction lighting is the future, not LED.
Mark McKee January 9, 2014 at 12:23 pm
Sorry but I think the CFL is interim technology. The future is LED. And I\'m willing to bet in 5 years there will be so many different LED shapes and sizes that it will revolutionize design.

A doctor misreads your x-ray and misses a vital cancer diagnosis. A surgeon permanently damages the nerves in your hands and arms during a carpal tunnel syndrome surgery. A malignant brain tumor is diagnosed as a migraine without first using an MRI as a diagnostic test.
Although we trust our doctors and our hospitals with our health and wellbeing, a surprising number of surgical errors and misdiagnoses are made each year. In fact, the National Practitioner Data Bank reported that 191,000 medical malpractice incidents have taken place in the United States in the last ten years. Still, only one out of eight medical malpractice victims file a legal claim, according to the Harvard Medical Practice Study.
The Inland Empire Law Group is a team of medical malpractice injury recovery professionals serving Rancho Cucamonga as well as the surrounding San Bernardino and Riverside counties. We believe that medical malpractice claims are important for two reasons: first, they secure families the financial support they need and deserve after a surgical error or misdiagnosis and second, they protect future patients from the careless acts of negligent doctors and medical institutions.
Inland Empire Surgical Error Attorney
Surgical error is one of the most common, costly, and deadly forms of medical malpractice. The annual cost of avoidable surgical errors is roughly $17 billion according to a study conducted by the National Patient Safety Benchmarking Center, while the Journal of the American Medical Association estimates that between 32,000 and 98,000 patients die each year due to surgical errors. Many more surgical errors lead to serious injuries, infection, nerve damage, paralysis, and permanent disability.
What are the most common types of surgical error?
At Inland Empire Law Group, we understand the dire consequences of surgical errors as well as the importance of prosecuting negligent or careless surgeons in California. Working together with our client as a team, we approach surgical error medical malpractice cases with energy, thoroughness, and honesty.
Inland Empire Misdiagnosis, Missed Diagnosis, and Wrong Diagnosis Lawyer
It is imperative that your doctor correctly diagnoses your conditions, illnesses, and diseases. A failure to diagnose disease or a delay in treating a disease can lead to permanent damage, pain and suffering, the escalation of your illness, and even death. Although some rare diseases may be hard to pinpoint, doctors can be negligent in their diagnosis if they ignore or overlook symptoms, fail to conduct common diagnostic tests, or misread test results.

East/West: A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking
Oct 19th - Nov 25th, 2012 -
Oct 19- Nov. 25 East/West: A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking
Opening reception Friday Oct. 19 7 - 9 p.m.
The "East/West: A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking" reflects and celebrates the diversity of printmaking practice and education in the United States. Organizers asked 100 of the most prominent printmakers/educators to embrace their current image making techniques and conceptual concerns. The result is a portfolio of prints that are diverse in image. These artists embrace tradition as well as alternative in printmaking techniques found in lithography, intaglio, woodcut, silkscreen, archival pigment, hybrid, intaglio types, and photo-relief prints.
The artists were chosen based on their distinguished careers as both artists and teachers. They practice the art of printmaking derived from the tradition of "the artist/teacher in residence" as developed by many major Midwest universities in the 1960's. This portfolio celebrates these artists as innovators, for their continued development of the printmaking medium and their own unique artistic visions. These printmakers have had and continue to have dramatic impacts on printmaking education, their institutions and printmaking workshops.

The real story here is that Mr. Armstrong — an American — continually beat the Europeans at their own game. Mr. Armstrong's foes took their case to "America-the-simple" where the "good" guys wear white hats and must never, ever do anything wrong, with the predictable result.
Lance Armstrong may hold the title for most vociferous insistence on his innocence in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Now he's admitting his guilt, but only because he wants something.
By quitting the fight Armstrong remains unconvicted. It may not be the same as innocence, but for him it appears enough.

Morgan Plowden kicks her way to the top
DETROIT — Every sport has its most valuable player. In Detroit, Morgan Plowden is emerging as a martial arts star.
The 23-year-old karate champ won the diamond ring at the Diamond Nationals World Karate Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. Oct. 5, and two weeks later won the World Karate/Kickboxing Council's (WKC) world championship and Champion of Champion's title in Taranto, Italy.
A native Detroiter, Plowden was a softball pitching standout at Renaissance High School, winning four PSL titles. She was named All-City four times, as well as All-Metro her senior year. This year she received her bachelor's degree in health policy studies from the University of Michigan/Dearborn.
"I started training in the martial arts when I was six," said Plowden who learned from her father a former karate world title holder. Her mother, Debra and brother Avery are also black belts.
"I stopped playing softball during my sophomore year [at Howard University] deciding to transfer home, and began competing in the woman's black belt division in tournaments," she said.
At that time, her father was the president of the WKC-USA, charged with taking American teams to world championships.
Plowden did not attend the first WKC because of school and softball but went to the championships in Portugal in 2010.
Portugal began a string of victories, she went on to win the title in the next three world championships in Spain, Montreal and, this year, Italy.
"It is fantastic to have the opportunity to do something you love and see the world," she said. "My softball career would be over now, anyway, and I have been able to channel that competitive energy into something I really love."
"I love everything associated with competing in martial arts tournaments," she said. "The workouts, camaraderie, representing my city, state, and country is just phenomenal."
Plowden also loves that she's one of the few African American women excelling at her level.
"So, I am a role model to other girls and women who look like me," she said. "If I can motivate and inspire others in and outside of the ring, I am maximizing my blessings."

Review of chapter "Not leaving things to chance" from
It's alive! Muahahahaha.
Okay, now that I got it out of my system I can start with the proper review.
Still in the setting the stage part of the story, but that's okay. Even if the exposition was a bit heavy in this part. Good stuff overall, you are showing us enough to keep us interested. Now let's get to the horror stuff. I want the blood, the nightmares and the insanity, those horrible things that drove the plot of the movie forward. Write more and remember to give Buffy some hard time. Characters can only shine when they face adversity.
Thanks for writing this.

Review of chapter "Not leaving things to chance" from
Good to see more of this! My re-watching Event Horizon a few weeks ago obviously worked... :)
I'm curious whether the Event Horizon will be making another appearance - and Buffy have to figure out how to Slay a self-aware, demon-possessed, evil starship? ;)
Comments from author:
Well, as you're no doubt aware, all that's left of the _Horizon_ is the forward section with the bridge and the bay for the acceleration tanks...you know, for when it's time to play Spam in the can...and aside from Ensign Justin, who was obviously in no particular shape for answering questions, the only survivors were LT Starck and Technician Cooper. But there may be some slight trace of the demonic life force left in the wreckage, not enough perhaps to bring harm to whoever walks its decks, but enough to mess with people's heads and frighten them a bit. And even before Miller blew the corridor, the ship's real ability to cause harm was in showing people their own fears and their own secrets and exploiting them. The trauma of what Justin saw nearly drove him to throw himself out of an airlock. Peters' regrets over her divorce and the custody of her son allowed the ship to suggest that her son was there with her, and her hallucinations prevented her from seeing the fatal misstep that propelled her to her doom in the engineering section. And also Dr. Weir's regrets over his wife's suicide due to his misplaced devotion to his work permitted the ship to appear in his mind as his resurrected wife and make him claw out his own eyes.
That's what made the horror element of the movie believable, the ship's ability to get inside one's mind and show him or her that it can see everything, that it can make one do to himself or herself anything it wants. The ship itself has no power to cause direct physical harm or damage, and any allusions otherwise would have a deleterious effect on the suspension of disbelief that is so critical to the success of a science fiction film.
My effort will be to replicate that same believability, the psychological impact that makes horror what it is, in the spirit of the original film.

Review of chapter "Not leaving things to chance" from
When Buffy asks a favor from the ISWC *Yes, I caught the Ragnarok reference!* this is something! But, as she put it, no one can find the answers better than they can. Now, lets see what these two survivors can tell us about what happened.
Comments from author:
Where, prithee tell me, did you see a reference to Code Ragnarok? Hate to bust your bubble, Harry, but this story has nothing to do with the other, and there will be no other crossovers here.
Buffy's got a lot of pull with ISWC now, as she's head of the Slayer Directorate in ISWC, so she and Director Mayweather are like partners in the organization, sharing authority and whatnot; her guise as a Captain in USAC is still only that, a guise, a cover. Admiral Bayfield knows how much influence and power ISWC wields, and so even if he hadn't made her a skipper for one of his ships, the Council might still have made it happen; eventually they need someone to go out there to Neptune and find out what they can, and if possible, bring back Captain Miller. Who knows what unimaginable horrors he's endured in that place....

Assuming they even want to talk to her at ALL. From what was in their records, they might run screaming instead...
Comments from author:
She and Cooper are the only human link remaining to the mystery of the Event Horizon...Buffy's going to HAVE to talk to her, plus she has a lifetime of experience in dealing with the irrational...Let's hope the PTB's are with her on this one.
Oh, did you ever get a chance to finish reading "Rise Dark Sisters"? You kinda left off after the first couple of chapters, then you were never heard from again...what happened?

Review of chapter "Military Secrets..." from
I think that Buffy is going to find this mission both interesting and nerve wracking at the same time. Best be prepared for the worst on this mission!
Comments from author:
In this story and the original motion picture, everyone has some sort of psychological issues, from Peters' divorce and child custody issues to Dr. Weir's obsession with his ship and how it drove him to psychosis; it's what made the movie so great as a scifi horror flick, because everyone's fears had been brought to horrific reality. Now Buffy has to see what the horror did to Lieutenant Starck and Mr. Cooper firsthand. Later she'll look at the instruments that had supposedly "malfunctioned" and then the wreck of the Event Horizon itself before taking the Terminus to the orbit of Neptune. I'm still going to have to figure out how she's going to select her crew for the Terminus and whether she's going to have to use USAC personnel or her own ISWC people.

Review of chapter "Where USAC left off..." from
Minor quibble. Typically, cigar smoke isn't inhaled, rather the flavor is savored in the mouth, and then released. At least, that's what I've been taught.
Comments from author:
Weeellll, that depends. I took that little part of the scene from the movie "Crimson Tide", where Gene Hackman offers Denzel Washington a Havana cigar and says, "Part of your qualification for command" Denzel turns green when he inhales the smoke, is polite when asked "That's good, huh? Your first?" Upon admission, Hackman says "Don't like them too much, they're more expensive than drugs..."
THought that might be appropriate there for military types, especially high-ranking officer types like Captains and Admirals, which equate to full-bird Colonels and Generals in the Army...get what I mean? It's the politics of the thing...not the technique. Plus Buffy, in this story, is nearly seventy years old while not looking a day over eighteen, and she's a Slayer, so she can hack it...inhaling cigar smoke, that is, not hacking out a lung...LOL

Review of chapter "The One Girl in All the Solar System" from
While Event Horizon had great effects and actors plus some astonishing scenes of devil may care
heroism (the jump between space craft is awesome!) along with some fantastic vistas, I did not like
this gothic house of horror mash up of a movie. I hope you redeem this with Buffy as the last
Slayer. Perhaps it will restart the Slayer legacy?
Comments from author:
While that wasn't my intent, I do understand that it might affect Summers on a fundamental level, personally. But perhaps I could make that happen...if my Muse cooperates and I don't have to terminate her employment LOL...She's VERY expensive...
In the interim keep an eye out (pun intended) for new chapters to "Fall of the Republic" by grd; I've taken up this challenge and am working up to the point where I can add another chapter or two to this awesome tale of political intrigue and the Dark Side of the Force...

Review of chapter "The One Girl in All the Solar System" from
I really like the description of how Buffy became immortal. It's as believable as any other explanation yet original.
I have a couple of things to point out for your explanation in this chapter. First, regarding Giles death; "the ripe old age of thirty-two", was that intentional?
Second; Elizabeth Anne "Buffy" Summers, Buffy's legal name is Buffy Anne Summers. No where in the show was she ever referred to as "Elizabeth". Usually when authors use a different name it's due to some plot point such as she was adopted or something. Can we expect such a plot point coming up?
Comments from author:
Oops. Thirty-two? How did THAT happen? It was supposed to say eighty-two...
As for the name, since it's AU, should it matter? That's not me snapping at you, it's just food for thought. As long as "Buffy Summers" is in there somewhere it should be alright...shouldn't it?
Edit -- OK, fixed it, age at time of death was eighty-two years old. We good?

Review of chapter "Where USAC left off..." from
The movie event horizon freaked me out--seriously I had nightmares. Sigh the things I watch for Jason isaacs.
An intriguing start and I like the mention of how tech has evolved to pick up supernatural events. You caught the important pony from the movie, the truth of the Latin message. I'll try to keep following but will bail if I start getting movie flashbacks.
ETA: pony. LOL. Oh autocorrect you kill me. I have bad visions of a defenseless pony trapped on the ship. :-(
Comments from author:
Sorry that you got scared so much from watching the movie. Truth be told, I found the plot of it somewhat disturbing as well. And over the course of time it seems that Whedon has "dumbed down" the idea of Hell being a place of eternal torment and reduced it to being just another place, where people with the right know-how can enter and leave as they please. Though I myself am not a follower of any religion per se, I would suppose that the idea of Hell should be one level of existence void of boundaries, where there is no exit and no escape, and where the torment is everlasting and horrible beyond comprehension. Spike hinted at this when he was retrieved for the Angel series, in an episode where he explained what was happening to him when he would suddenly "phase out" of sight or corporeal existence.
I hope this doesn't give you any flashbacks, but the idea is for Buffy and company to experience the horrors that the crew of the Lewis and Clark saw firsthand, and yet the intent is also for Buffy to resolve it and maybe somehow quantify it so there would be a way for USAC to somehow evade that awful place, and thus fulfill their original mission with the Event Horizon, which was to open an actual wormhole to Proxima Centauri and not a dimensional gateway to Hell.
So I hope that this reply gives you the courage to face whatever flashbacks you might somehow experience, though I pray you never do have them, that you may see this through to its triumphant conclusion.
Thank you for your review. Reviews feed my Muse and keep her happy and busy.
ETA: Oh, yeah, I know, I hate Android keypads, can't type for shit with them sometimes. Good thing I have my trusty laptop right here in front of my face. *grin*
Oh, BTW the tech in that movie did not pick up supernatural events, it wasn't programmed or designed for that purpose, so it looks like the bioscanners were malfunctioning when they were inspected. Perhaps when this is all over they will figure out how to make that happen...until next chapter!

I have been practicing like crazy for the upcoming Dancing with our Stars event with my professional, Barry Connick. You can come to event on August 23rd at the Grass Valley Veterans Hall for an evening of pure entertainment, but first I need to raise my "entry fee." Each dancer must raise a $2000 entry fee. I am almost half way there.
This is a reminder for you if you have said yes to sponsoring me in my quest to raise money for the Center For The Arts to please do so and if this is a first request, please say yes! The deadline for my entry fee is July 15th.
I have been practicing diligently but have to remember the reason I said, "yes." Just before being asked to participate in this event, the son of one of our station principals was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. These funds will go toward making the Center Main Stage wheelchair accessible, among other general improvements. Not to say he will ever choose to be on that stage, but how difficult for him would it be if he had to be carried there, after overcoming so many other obstacles. I don't say yes to many of the organizations who ask, but I felt compelled to say yes to this.
Any amount would be greatly appreciated. I am 46% of the way to my goal of $2000. If you would like to send a check – you can send it directly to KNCO at 1255 E. Main Street 95945 – please make the check out to The Center for the Arts.
If you would like to pay online. Here is the link.
Credit Card donations can be accepted online. Follow this link to donate to me!

From New York to Copenhagen, powerful companies are cashing in on the climate crisis, privatizing the air we breathe and handing over rights to the atmosphere to the biggest polluters under a new system called carbon trading.
Carbon Trading is a fraudulent market approach to climate change many polluters prefer, because they expect to profit from it. But it is a false solution which intensifies social injustice, does not reduce emissions in a meaningful way, and acts as a dangerous distraction from the real climate solutions we urgently need, such as ending excessive consumption, keeping fossil fuels in the ground, re-localizing production and consumption, and protecting the rights of workers, displaced peoples, and others affected by the transition.
Proposed climate legislation – Waxman-Markey and Kerry-Boxer – would enshrine this false solution into our nation's climate policy, which, according to climatologist Dr. James Hansen, would delay urgently needed climate policy for at least a decade. That's a decade we just don't have! This legislation was lobbied for by some of the worst polluters and corporate-friendly 'environmental' NGOs, like the members of the US Climate Action Partnership.
Hundreds of you signed the Climate Pledge of Resistance to defend the planet from catastrophic climate change, by engaging in acts of non-violent civil disobedience. We need you to turn out in New York City on November 30th to fulfill your pledge or make a new one.
November 30 (N30) is significant because it immediately precedes the upcoming UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. It is also the ten-year anniversary of the protests that shut down of the World Trade Organization meetings in Seattle, which demonstrated the incredible power of collective action.
Mobilization for Climate Justice (MCJ) is a broad coalition of organizations working for social, ecological, racial and economic justice. We will take mass action on climate change on November 30, 2009 in cities across the country!
As climate change threatens to turn our world upside down with water shortages, crop failures, sea level rise and ecosystem collapse, the world's biggest companies and their friends in government and the NGO community continue to fight the transition to more just and sustainable ways of living. Join us in a carnival procession as we chase politicians, corporate environmentalists, and grim reapers, down Fifth Avenue and expose their true alliances!
When: November 30: 12 noon – 2:30 pm EST (take a long lunch. . . or the rest of the day off!)
Rally at Bank of America (16th and 5th Avenue near Union Square), followed by a colorful procession with a marching band (!) to the offices of US CAP member, corporate-friendly 'enviro' organization, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for a Speak Out with climatologist Dr. James Hansen, Carbon Tax Center environmental economist Charles Komanoff, Safe Water Movement co-founder Laura Sheinkopf and more!
Street theatrics and hijinks included!
The goal of our participation in the MCJ is to send a warning shot across the bows of corporate 'greens' who distort climate science on behalf of major polluters. As climate legislation gets redrafted next year, it is critical that these groups are challenged by a new more mobilized and informed environmental movement. We must make clear to them that we will not accept false solutions or inadequate targets, even after Copenhagen fails to result in a meaningful agreement. The new climate bill, which will be drafted for the next Congressional session (2010), must have science-based targets that give our planet and its species a fighting chance and don't peg our survival on carbon markets, pie-in-the-sky techno-fixes, or 'solutions' that guarantee the long-term viability of oil, gas, or coal industries.
The MCJ proposes a range of solutions (including leaving hydrocarbons in the ground and more): http://www.actforclimatejustice.org/.Thanks for all your help and your dedication.

The '90s NBC sitcom Blossom may have seemed like a blip on the TV radar, but the show was responsible for launching a few major careers, is remembered for being way ahead of its time, coining a few catchphrases and singlehandedly putting the flower hat on the map.
Debuting July Fourth weekend of 1990, Blossom starred the 15-year-oldMayim Bialik as a precocious teen adjusting to life and coming of age with her mom out of the picture. Her dad Nick (Ted Wass) was a musician sometimes on the road, her oldest brother Anthony (Michael Stoyanov) was a recovering alcoholic and her brother Joey (Joey Lawrence) was the stereotypical dumb jock. Jenna Von Oy played Blossom's fast-talking best friend.
The country is still reeling from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took the lives of 28 people last Friday. That includes Blossom star Jenna von Oy, who grew up in Newtown, Conn., where the tragedy happened.
In a blog for People, Von Oy offered her support and prayers for those affected by the tragedy. "When the news first reported the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, my emotional spectrum ranged from stunned and horrified, to inconsolable and...
