Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
The instantly recognizable theme music of iconic sci-fi series Doctor Who has been adored by fans for decades and has subsequently been re-mastered and re-imagined in every possible way, up to and including as the Sherlock credits. (Yeah, that really did happen.)
So, therefore, it shouldn't surprise anyone that this fan-made cello version of the theme exists. In fact, there are probably several similar takes out there in the depths of the internet that I just haven't found yet. But this one, I feel safe saying, definitely has to be the coolest.
Now that we know we're a pretty long wait before we see Sherlock again in any form (the new special seems likely to drop at Christmas 2015, with Series 4 TBD), it's more vital than ever to keep ourselves well-stocked with consulting detective-themed goodies to take our mind off the fact that we still don't know how Moriarty survived or that we don't really know what's up with Mary's past and that we're all slowly fading away without Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman on our screens.
Luckily, this fan-made Series 4 trailer is here to kick your brain into gear about what you'd like to see when the show returns.
Apparently, even being at Comic Con this year, I missed a lot of Comic Con! There's simply so much going on at the world's biggest festival of all things geek that it can seriously take you a week or more after the event concludes just to dig through all the gems – clips, interviews, trailers, whatever – that come out of that four day span. It's the best kind of crazy.
My latest and best find involves Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, who made his first appearance at San Diego's annual convention this year, supporting his upcoming films The Penguins of Madagascar and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Part of this involves not just appearing on panels for those films, but doing a positive truckload of press, whilst so many entertainment journalists are all in one place. Cumberbatch, like everyone else, did the rounds, speaking to folks from all the major outlets.
He sat down with MTV's Joshua Horowitz – one of my favorite entertainment writers and, quite frankly, one of the best folks at doing celebrity interviews – and the resultant chat is, to put it mildly, fairly epic, particularly when the two get to discuss nerdy topics, as one does because it's Comic Con. The two end up discussing Star Wars whether or not the presence of the floppy-eared nightmare known as Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menance can be justified and proceedings devolve into the two doing rather freakishly accurate impressions of the character.
Just watch it. Trust me. It's the best thing you'll see today.
So, Queen Elizabeth probably doesn't have a Ser Barristan the Bold of her own outside Buckingham Palace, but the Queen's Guards are apparently big fans of fantasy drama Game of Thrones anyway.
We know this because during a recent Changing of the Guards ceremony at Buckingham Palace, the band suddenly burst into a rousing rendition of the HBO series' incredibly recognizable theme tune. (For those that don't know the band traditionally performs a song during the ceremony, which takes place daily in the summer at 11:30am.)
It's awesome. And thankfully a quick bystander recorded it and put it on YouTube.
Making LEGO versions of things has become a popular trend in fannish circles over the last few years (spurred on, no doubt, by the financial and critical success of The LEGO Movie, which is basically what it says on the tin). You have a favorite show or movie? Chances are, some uber-creative soul out there has LEGO-ized it for you, whether it's bits from Sherlock episodes or Star Trek trailers or the Downton Abbey estate or The Hobbit redone with mini-figures,
Now someone has re-done last year's Doctor Who 50th anniversary block-for-block and it is incredible.
The recent release of X-Men sequel Days of Future past has, predictably, given us all a bevy of interviews with its star-studded, British actor heavy cast to enjoy over the past few weeks.
This is by far the best one. By far.
Oh, Sherlock fans, never change. Seriously, don't.
In case you needed further evidence that the Sherlock fandom is populated by some of the most creative and, frankly, fun people around, look no further than this new fan tribute from Russia.
Several hundred fans in St. Petersburg gathered to pay tribute to their favorite show, and since it's 2014 now and it's what people do because the internet exists, they put together an intricate dance routine and filmed it for YouTube.
And it's awesome. Seriously, this will be one of the coolest things you see this week.
Doctor Who star Arthur Darvill may have physically departed the TARDIS more than a year ago, but, much like they say in Hotel California, it seems evident that even though you can check out any time you like, you can never leave.
Darvill, who is currently on-stage in the West End musical Once, appeared on BBC Radio 1 last week to promote his new show. The actor starred in the show on Broadway for about six months last year, and is now reprising his role across the pond.
As part of his recent media tour, Darvill appeared on The Matt Edmondson Show, where he did the standard sort of interview chatter, and even performed some music from Once, before the best bit of the whole thing got underway, which is where the inevitable Who related portion of the day came up. By way of a Frozen parody.
Rule one of the internet: You will never find anything that's more fun to watch than Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen bickering, laughing, or basically doing anything at all together for any reason whatsoever.
That is the case times about a thousand in this latest clip, which features these two acting greats just proving for the millionth time that you will never have a friendship that is as awesome as theirs. And also they play The Newlywed Game. No, really.
We've certainly seen many creative Sherlock parodies over the years – from musical adaptations, to snarky cartoons, to detailed and realistic mash-ups with fellow Steven Moffat production Doctor Who.
This latest parody – which comes to us from Norway and has become something of an instant classic among members of the Sherlock fandom online – is a bit simpler, in terms of concept, but in no way less memorable. (Or creative.)
Norwegian actors Vidar Magnussen and Bjarte Tjostheim – who star on the show Underholdningsavdelinge - came up with the idea to do the spoof once they realized they looked a bit like British stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. But they definitely take things to a whole 'nother level of silliness.

Kingsnorth A et al. – Surgery duration, early postoperative, pain and infection rates were significantly reduced with self–gripping polyester mesh compared to Lichtenstein repair with polypropylene mesh. The use of fixation increased postoperative pain in the P group. The absence of early recurrence highlights the gripping efficiency effect.Methods
- This is a 3–month interim report of a 1–year multicenter international study.
- Three hundred and two patients were randomized; 153 were treated with Lichtenstein repair (L group) and 149 with Parietex ProGrip precut mesh (P group) with or without fixation.
- The primary outcome measure was postoperative pain using the visual analog scale (VAS, 0–150 mm); other outcomes were assessed prior to surgery and up to 3 months postoperatively.
- Compared to baseline, pain score was lower in the P group at discharge (-10%) and at 7 days (-13%), while pain increased in the L group at discharge (+39%) and at 7 days (+21%).
- The difference between groups was significant at both time points (P = 0.007 and P = 0.039, respectively).
- In the P group, patients without fixation suffered less pain compared to those with single–suture fixation (1 month: -20.9 vs. -6.15%, P = 0.02; 3 months: -24.3 vs. -7.7%, P = 0.01).
- The infection rate was significantly lower in the P group during the 3–month follow–up (2.0 vs. 7.2%, P = 0.032).
- Surgery duration was significantly shorter in the P group (32.4 vs. 39.1 min; P < 0.001).
- No recurrence was observed at 3 months in both groups.

Hello to everybody! :o
I have followed this tutorial to setup a very happy chrooted enviroment for my clients. http://www.howtoforge.com/mysecuresh...tp_debian_etch
I have created a first "user1" and all clients users with home directory within the home of first user1, in this way the primary user1 can se all files of all other subclients.
All users are within the group of first user1 and the group "user1" have a QUOTA control for disc space.
Now, i want to setup a bandwidth use limit for all users of the group "user1", not only limit the real bandwidth when there is a transfer, but setup a monthly amount of data that all gropu can transfer.
I can make this on the sftp_config file of mysecureshell or can control in other ways?!

text: The state Supreme Court may soon be looking into whether judges should pay increased health benefits and pension contributions. The courts have upheld the decision so far. Judge Paul DePascale had filed the initial lawsuit and made the request to the Supreme Court. Gov. Chris Christie has said that he wants a constitutional change in New Jersey to force judges to fall in line with all the other state employees. The judge rulings say that the state's constitution currently says that judges can't fall in line with the increased contributions.

Google Announces Nexus 9 TabletWednesday, October 15, 2014
With an Apple event tomorrow (which is pretty much known to include a new iPad release) I find the timing more than a little suspicious... announcing your competing product one day before Apple releases theirs. But why hold off on the pre-orders until October 17? Since the device doesn't ship until November, there seems to be no reason they couldn't have started pre-orders today, getting a jump on Apple's next iPad.
I'm tempted to make a "Welcome to 2010" joke since the new device offers a 4:3 display, no external storage, no user-replaceable battery, and no Flash support. But I won't.
[via The Verge]
Annual Release SchedulesTuesday, October 14, 2014
There's been some talk about Apple's rapid release schedule with both its mobile OS and its desktop OS causing quality issues. The initial release for iOS 7 had significant bugs, and iOS 8 had a few struggles on launch as well (e.g. Health Kit, the botched 8.0.1 release). One suggestion has been for Apple to stop trying to keep this difficult annual update cycle. People love to talk about "Apple's DNA"; this tightly scheduled release is a perfect example of that DNA.
Consider this quote from John Gruber:
Mac OS X's current schedule is in direct contrast to every other desktop operating system in the industry. Microsoft's Windows, most notably, is on a much longer, more monolithic update schedule. [...] The end result is a win for everyone — users get improved software quicker, and Apple gets something new to sell and to promote annually.
This quote is from July, 2003... more than 10 years ago. Certainly the comment applies even more to iOS than it does Mac OS. Even non-techies are aware that Apple updates every year. They don't know about the big events in September and October like I do, and they don't pay attention to WWDC every year, but they know that their phone's software will update before they need to replace their device. This is a huge part of why an iPhone is more appealing than any of the Android offerings. If I buy a brand new Android today, I don't know if it's currently on the latest OS, and I certainly have no knowledge of when – or if – it might update again.
I think Apple has to maintain an annual release cycle, and the best way to do this may be to scale back the scope of the updates they plan to push.
Samsung's Smartphone WoesMonday, October 13, 2014
For three years Samsung has held a solid chunk of the mobile phone marketshare. Nearly 70% of their profits come from this industry. But last week Samsung reported profits from the last quarter were down an estimated 60% over the previous year's quarter. This shouldn't be surprising, as the mobile phone market is becoming increasingly saturated, causing the market growth to slow. Lower priced Chinese manufacturers are cutting away at Samsung's low-end, while Apple continues to gobble up the lion's share (more than 80%) of the profits.
While I don't understand it, there are a number of people who really like their Android-based Samsung phones. There's even a small group of them who enjoy picking on Apple customers. But Samsung's success has always come from mimicking the market leader in various industries, improving on their products, not creating new products or markets. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that strategy, but now Samsung finds itself in an eroding market without the ability to take advantage of a new space.
It is generally believed that wearables will never become as big of an industry as the smartphone market, and to date no one has generated any level of interest in a wearable device. Apple is positioning their new watch as a fashion device, not tech, so even if it does have anywhere near the success of the iPhone, Samsung is going to have trouble moving into the fashion industry.
I don't mean to imply Samsung is down and out; far from it. Samsung will do what Samsung does best, build computer chips at a sizable profit. But analysts will look back at Samsung's financial history and refer to 2013 as the smartphone bubble.
Some Bunk About Income EqualitySaturday, October 11, 2014
A 30-year-old employee of Wells Fargo, Tyrel Oates, decided he wasn't happy with his lot in life so he emailed John Stumpf, Wells Fargo's CEO, to let Stumpf know what he thinks. Oh, and he also copied the letter to 200,000 other employees of the company. Now he's being hailed as the "quiet hero of income equality".
Excuse me for a moment while I go throw up.
Sure, the company provides while not great, some pretty good benefits, as well as discretionary profit sharing for those who partake in our 401k program. While the benefits are nice, the profit sharing through the 401k only goes to make the company itself and its shareholders more profitable, and not really boost the income of the thousands of us here every day making this company the prestigious power house that it is.
The first reason I would fire Oates: Emailing the entire company is completely unprofessional. I'm reminded of Jerry Maguire's "mission statement" in which he broadcasts his feelings about unfairness with the sports management business at which he is employed. And the day everyone gets his diatribe, he is fired without reservation.
When Oates was hired he was given a specific offer, presumably commensurate with his skill set. If the salary or benefits offered were not up to the level he felt he deserved, then it was his job to negotiate a better offer... or seek employment at a company that pays better.
(Side note: I spent 10 of the last 11 years with no benefits, so I confess that I get rather annoyed at people who complain that their benefits are "not great".)
There's a story in the Bible that Jesus tells us; to paraphrase, a guy gets a job harvesting a field all day for a set amount of money. Later in the day another person is hired to do the same job for the same wage, but the second worker only has to work a portion of the day because he showed up after lunch. The first worker is angry because he feels he should have received more pay than the second worker. On the surface we might think the first worker has a valid point. But the story points out that the first worker agreed to work all day for a specific wage. His lot in life has not changed because someone else got a better deal.
By agreeing to work for $15 per hour plus benefits, you lost the right to complain to the CEO when you decide you should be making $20 per hour instead.
Last year, you had pulled in over $19 million, more than most of the employees will see in our lifetimes.
The second reason Oates would be fired: It's none of his business, as an employee of Wells Fargo, how much the CEO makes... anymore than it's my business how much my boss makes. Additionally, what Stumpf makes has no influence on the salaries of each employee in the company, except that by making Wells Fargo profitable means people like Oates have a job to complain about.
My third reason for firing him: Oates financial argument is hardly solid. That, and his inability to correctly word an email, shows why he makes $15 per hour instead of being in upper management.
This year Wells Fargo in its second quarter alone had a net income of $5.7 billion, and total revenue of $21.1 billion. [...] My proposal is take $3 billion dollars, just a small fraction of what Wells Fargo pulls in annually, and raise every employees annual salary by $10,000 dollars.
The numbers Oates puts forth here are irrelevant. The only number that matters to his ridiculous argument would be the full year of profit that Wells Fargo made, which was $21.88 billion. He is asking for the CEO to give away 1/7th of the company's annual profits... every year for the unforeseeable future. That is not "just a small fraction", and is such poor logic, financially, I'm not sure Oates belongs in the banking industry at all.
I wonder, if Oates had 21 dollar bills in his pocket and you asked for $3, would he give it to you?
Oates is missing an important lesson in financial responsibility: Store grain during the surplus so you have grain during the lean times. The problem is, we aren't taught that anymore. We're taught to spend all we make and more, then attempt to bring our income up to our spending levels, instead of keeping our spending levels below our income. So perhaps it's understandable why Oates doesn't understand that Wells Fargo should make considerable profit without spending all of it.
There are many of us out there who come to work every day and give it our all, yet, we struggle to make ends meet while our peers in upper management and company executives reap the majority of the rewards.
I don't know Oates, obviously, so perhaps he has bills not in his control that add up to more than he makes at Wells Fargo. All I can do is draw on my own personal experiences when I made $15 per hour and I didn't think twice about using credit cards to buy TVs, game consoles, nice furniture, and other "stuff" I felt I deserved to have. I didn't hesitate to eat at pricey restaurants frequently. I didn't think twice about having a six year car loan on a car that was out of my price range. And there are a lot of people who live in this country who make a similar wage and spend like there's no tomorrow, and then complain because they can't "live comfortably on their own".
Is it fair that the CEO makes millions of dollars each year and the janitor makes only tens of thousands? Is it fair that Tyrel Oates makes $15 per hour and there are homeless people outside his office begging for change? Because if it's not fair that Stumpf makes the salary and bonuses that he negotiated and earned by operating a company to the point that it turns $5 billion in profit, then it's also not fair that Oates makes the salary he negotiated and earned when there are people outside his workplace with no car, no place to call a home, and no money for a decent dinner.
This isn't England, where some people are born into royalty with no reason for their success other than their birth. This is America, and in America if you want to be the CEO of Wells Fargo you are free to pursue it. Sure, not everyone is going to make it big, but if you look at history, there is literally nothing stopping anyone in this country from becoming whatever they want to be... with the exception of their own selves. Bill Gates was a college drop out and became the richest man in the world. John Stumpf grew up
poor with "limited family finances", managed to pay his own way through college, then started working at the bank in 1982 in the loan department. He moved up and eventually became the CEO of Wells Fargo. This was not luck. This was not a poorly crafted email to the entire organization about how he deserves more money. This was hard work and determination.
I'm no millionaire, but I never took a single college class, and I live... comfortably. (Sometimes I feel I live better than I deserve). Why is that? It's because I worked my ass off and lived below my means, not because I whined to my boss and stirred up a shit storm with my 300,000 co-workers.
So Tyrel, consider this to be my letter to you. You are not the CEO, you do not get to make millions in your current position, you do not get to tell the CEO how to manage the profits his company makes. Shut your mouth and get back to work and be thankful you have a job.
Gap-Gate? It's a Feature!Thursday, October 2, 2014
Earlier this week 9to5google reported that Samsung released their Galaxy Note 4 ahead of schedule, and the phones were shipping with a manufacturing defect that causes "a large gap between the display and the frame of the device." Samsung responded stating that the gap is not a flaw, but a feature. You can't make this stuff up! "This gap is a necessary manufacturing feature and some minor rocking or vibration of parts may occur." Why is there no "gap-gate" rage over this like "bend-gate"?
(This is one of the few times I recommend reading the user comments.)

Has He Proposed?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-30-2013 - 6:03pm
This could just as easily go in the "living together" board, but I figured folks who were married might have some insight about what constitutes a proposal. :)
I am in my late 50s. My partner is a widower in his early 60s. He recently retired.
When we had been going together for about a year, we discussed the future and he said he wanted to marry. I said I wasn't ready, and that I would want to live with him first, especially since he was retiring soon and I was not. So we went on like this for a couple more years, and then almost a year ago, he retired. At this point, at my suggestion, he moved most of his regular stuff here. But he wouldn't close down his house until he was sure it was for keeps. He has been paying mortgage, utilities, etc, on his place (which is partially furnished--he brought some things here and gave his daughters some stuff, but the rest is still at the house) and going over there once a week to get his mail. He has even kept the land phone line, though he has a cell that he uses for everything.
So, things are going well, and I don't think we are going to learn anything more about each other without getting married. I mean, we are living together, but we don't have a shared budget and each of us may (unconsciously) still be in "courting" mode. But I am reassured that we will not drive each other crazy and that he is not going to be too demanding of my time because he is home most of the day and I am not.
As far as money goes, his retirement is equal to what I make working. Our assets are comparable. When I retire, I will have less than he does, but between us we will still have enough. We are lucky that way. (Note that I don't gain financially by marrying him. His pension dies with him, so if he predeceases me, I'll be back to what I would have had if we hadn't married. But it will be enough.)
Anyway, the issue is that I don't know if he wants to go ahead and get married or not. I am not comfortable just living together indefinitely, with him keeping the other house (and not contributing to expenses in my house beyond food) and just generally both of us being in a "tentative" position. If there were a financial reason not to marry (if I were to lose alimony settlement or something like that, for example) I could see a reason for just living together, but as far as I am concerned, living together was just a temporary arrangement.
I've asked him, jokingly, when he plans to propose, and he said he had never really proposed before. (Apparently, his late wife said something about wanting to get married and have kids soon and he said okay.) He is rather shy, but still, I think he should take the hint. He said something about the problem with proposing was that one couldn't be sure the other person would say "yes." I said that I figure a person wouldn't be asking if he was planning to propose in order to say "no." He chuckled and there it stopped.
My thought is that he does want to get married "eventually," but he is not in a hurry because getting married means a lot of work putting financial affairs in order (both of us want to have a pre-nup so that the property we bring into the marriage will be protected for the care of the spouse and then for our individual children) including selling his house (which is going to go at a loss) putting stuff in storage, etc. He believes in marriage, and he acts as if he thinks of me as his wife, but he is not in a hurry.
I hate all the trouble of moving, packing, going to lawyers, etc. as much as he does, but I am a "take a deep breath and get moving" sort of person--once I've made up my mind, i see no point in procrastinating. Plus right now, if anything happened to either one of us and we had to be hospitalized or whatever, next-of-kin would be a son or daughter who might not welcome the other in the "family" involvement.
At the same time, I don't want to pressure him to hurry up and get married if he is not ready. I don't know if it is reasonable to assume that he has already "proposed" when he said, three years ago, that he wanted us to get married someday, or whether I should continue to insist that he indicate more specific (and immediate) intent to commit to marriage.
Really, I am thinking that I don't want to live with him past this summer if we aren't going to be married this summer. We can, if he prefers, go back to "just dating" and getting together every few evenings and on the weekends. (His house is an hour away, so it wouldn't be as easy as if we were in the same town.) But I just don't see the point in staying together for more than a year and a half if we are not going to be married.
If I tell him this, he will probably go along with whatever date I set for marrying. But I don't want to be the one who proposes and so forth. I mean, I don't want him to feel that he is not ready but he is going to humor me. Does that make sense?
Am I being silly?
|Mon, 12-30-2013 - 7:35pm
I can totally picture your scenario. Quiet guy, never even really proposed to his first wife, okay the way things are, so why go through all the trouble, right?
Boy, I totally agree with you on all counts. In my case, after 7 years, my "proposal" was pretty much just a "so, are you going to marry me or what." Essentially my birthday ring turned into an enagement ring. The week before it was "I am going to marry you one of these days." Two months later we were off to a tropical climate to get married.
I understand not wanting to repeat the same scenario as his widow, but I am sure you also know it is not going to be a school boy proposal, either.
I guess I am thinking that you may just have to be pretty blunt with him. He is obvioulsy pretty kicked back and I think expecting any more is probably unrealistic. My DH did pretty much what I expected.
One thought....maybe try "I just want you to know that when you are ready to propose, I will say yes." I guess you kind of already did that, so maybe he is just trying to find the perfect ring and really is in the process of planning a proposal.
At work, gotta' go.....
|Mon, 12-30-2013 - 9:07pm
At your age, and financial situation, I don't see the point in getting married, unless you are planning on collecting against his social security. I'm 61. If anything happened to my husband, I would NOT remarry. The house, property and money we accumulated during our life is OURS, intended for us and OUR children, grandchildren, etc. We did not work all those years to support anyone else, or enrich THEIR children. And believe me, pre-nups can be invalidated. Make sure you have SEPERATE attorneys, and that they are dam good ones.
In addition you say, "...right now, if anything happened to either one of us and we had to be hospitalized or whatever, next-of-kin would be a son or daughter who might not welcome the other in the "family" involvement." What's wrong with that? Don't you trust your children with making decisions about your life and care--rather than leave it to someone you've only known a couple years???
And then there is the fact that he would take a loss on his house if he sells. Why force him to do that? If you MUST live together to save on double mortgage, utilities, etc, then he should rent out his house till the market improves.
Finally, since you "...don't want to live with him past this summer if (you) aren't going to be married this summer...", just tell him outright, "Marry me or move out."
|Mon, 12-30-2013 - 11:52pm
I think you've already had the discussion.......you wanted to "try it out" and you've done that! If you two are happy together, you're compatible, and you want to make it permanent, or legal, or whatever you want to call it, then TELL the man that you think it's time and you want to make the plans. If he didn't want to be with you......he wouldn't be there. HE was the one who mentioned marriage first, and you put him off......so for heavens sake, tell him you're ready. Moving? Packing? Aren't you getting ahead of yourself? Why do you have to move? He's almost totally moved in with you already........put his house on the market instead of wasting all the money keeping it. As far as the lawyer is concerned, an hour's visit should be all that's involved, if the two of you have decided who gets what in case of death. And why are you worrying about death anyway? How about taking care of life? You're really nit picking if you feel that he has to "propose", especially since he told you he didn't propose the first time around. HINT HINT.......if you want to get married, TELL HIM!!! And tell him about a tenative date that you've decided on. Either that or just keep futzing around until one of you dies, then no decisions will have to be made! He SAID he wanted to marry......and you said you weren't ready.....so now you're ready......TELL HIM!

I think at your ages it's time to stop waiting for a "proposal" like in the movies. You need to have a discussion--do you still want to get married? What is your time frame, etc.? Then even if you discuss it and you agree to get married soon he can still buy you a ring and do a romantic proposal. I do agree that people have different reasons for wanting to get married or not and if both of you want to get married then I think that's all fine & good and I wouldn't want to try to dissuade you--you should have a prenup and put your main assets (house?) in a trust so that the survivor gets the use of the house for life and then it's goes to your kids. I probably wouldn't get married again after 2 divorces--I figure it hasn't worked that well so far. You could take care of the health issues by having a health care proxy or power of attorney. I'd rather keep all my finances separate. I also don't see why he would sell his house at a loss instead of just trying to rent it out if he wants to save that for his kids.
|Thu, 01-02-2014 - 1:21pm
Me again.
It appears that we all agree on one thing, you are probably just going to have to be straight forward with him and not expect anything else. If he does suprise you, than wonderful! But I wouldn't expect it.
I thought of something after my first post. I have a guy friend who actually wanted to get married, but his GF had already been M and D, two kids, and just wasn't ready. Eventually, after a few years together, she came home one day and said "what you are doing for lunch tomorrow, want to go to the courthouse and get married?" And they did.
This was not an older couple, either. Still in their late 30's at the time.
And as far as "why get M?" I say you have to follow your instinct. After 2 divorces myself, I could have very easy been one to not try again. But I was young on both counts and me DH waited 7 years to get married. So I get it and I don't see anything wrong either way.
Definately keep us posted! I am so curious how this all goes for you.
Serenity CL making a second marriage work
|Fri, 01-03-2014 - 2:38pm
Thanks for all the great responses. Let me clarify that I don't expect a "proposal" with him on one knee and a romantic scene. I just want him to initiate the "plan." I would like to avoid having to give him an ultimatum--let's get married or move out--because I would never feel sure that he really wanted to get married "now"--even though he was the first to mention it as a long-term goal.
I never thought I would remarry. It didn't seem to make any sense when I was getting out of my failed marriage. I felt that as I had raised my family, there wasn't much point in complicating things by marrying. I started dating for "something to do," to have a life besides work and waiting for grandkids. And then this guy and I hit it off, and the next thing I knew he was talking about marriage and I told him, frankly, that I wasn't ready. But it sort of stayed in the back of my mind and after a while I decided it would be a good idea.
So now that we have lived together and not gotten on each others' nerves and so forth, and I like being with him more and more, I want him to reassure me that he still feels this way. If I felt that his original "I'd like to get married eventually" was a proposal, I wouldn't feel so awkward saying something like, "Well, do you still want to get married eventually, and if so, when is eventually?" :)
Regarding "why marry?" I have had advice from different people on both sides of the question. I think that perhaps the best reason is that I want to feel that we matter to each other the same way as previous spouses did. The fact that he is widowed instead of divorced makes me a little insecure sometimes. I know that, because of the circumstances, I am sort of "second best." (He would not have been free to meet and fall in love with me if his wife had died; they had a good and loving marriage.) So emotionally I want to feel that I am "as good as," his late wife.
If there were financial disadvantages or risks to marrying for either of us, I think that would be a good reason not to marry. But there don't seem to be.
Anyway, I guess the next time a good moment comes up, I will ask him something along the lines of "are you still thinking we should marry some day? If you are, I want you to know I am ready." If that doesn't do it, I guess I will have to do the, "If you are not ready to marry just yet, why don't we try to move apart and 'just date' for a while and see how we feel about the future. :( But I hate ultimatums because they feel like you are pushing the other person.
|Fri, 01-03-2014 - 3:06pm
As I explained in my other reply, my reason for wanting to marry is emotional. I want to feel we matter to each other as much as earlier marriages, as much as if we were the parents of each others' children. (I don't mean that we should love each others' kids like our own--that's unrealistic--but that the feelings we have for each other shouldn't be less because we don't have shared children.)
Regarding your statement about "the house, property and money we accumulated during our life is OURS, intended for us and OUR children, grandchildren, etc. We did not work all those years to support anyone else, or enrich THEIR children. And believe me, pre-nups can be invalidated."
I think that since we are not too far in what we have, there is no question of him "supporting" me or me "supporting" him. And the amounts of money involved are small enough (and all of us are "fair" people) that I don't fear a pre-nup would be at risk. I mean, mainly we have to make some agreement about what goes to the survivor after death and what goes to the deceased person's kids. His pension is more substantial than mine will be, but his ends when he dies while the bulk of mine is an annuity which will have a residual amount if I were to die before age 90. That residual amount could go to either spouse or kids or shared among the three. If I put him down for that residual amount, I would want him to make a comparable arrangement from his savings or something else.
We plan to live in my house for a couple of years, but down the road we've talked about buying a house jointly. This is partly because I want a one-story house as I get older, and partly because this neighborhood is becoming too busy. Our moving to his house is not an option unless I find a job closer to his house. Right now, there are no options.
I have suggested that he rent his house out (and cover the mortgage) for now but he doesn't want to be a landlord--he prefers to take the loss. He just isn't in a hurry to do so. He can afford to pay mortgage (and utilities etc.) on a house that he is not really using because he is living with me. He contributes towards groceries, but nothing else right now.
So my concern is that by not marrying or making any permanent plans about his house, he is sort of coasting, not really acknowledging that we are a long-term couple and we need to plan accordingly. That's more important to me than the money.

What I don't understand is why you would want him to move out & go back to dating if he didn't say that he wanted to get married soon--if he said that in 2 years he would get married, would that be ok? I can kind of understand that if marriage is a goal for you in your relationship and then he decided that he never wanted to get married, that then really you should break up--forget about going back to dating because why would you keep dating a guy who didn't want to marry you if you want to get married? I think you should re-think the idea of being "second best"--of cours he wouldn't be with you if his wife hadn't died, but that doesn't mean that you are "less than" her--my uncle was married for over 40 yrs, my aunt died. When he was probably 70's he met his 2nd wife--they didn't legally get married but they had some kind of ceremony by a priest--she didn't want to live together but if they had gotten married, she would have lost some pensions so it didn't make sense--they were together until she died. Then after she died and he was over 80, he started dating the woman he's with now. They got engaged a couple of years ago but I doubt that they will get married. First of all, her DD (in her 50's) got a brain tumor and they were very concerned about her for a while--she seems to be getting better but she can't live alone. So now most of the time, the 3 of them live together, then my uncle has a 2nd house that he comes to (near his kids) for the summer--his GF & her DD did come up for some of the time. I wouldn't say that he loves the 2nd or 3rd wife less-maybe for all I know, he could have loved one of them more. It is possible to love more than one person in your life and I don't think that not getting married would mean that he loved you less. When people get older and aren't going to have kids, sometimes it just doesn't seem that necessary to get married--and also all the planning about stuff that you are talking about may be necessary but it also isn't very romantic. Sometimes you might just want to have a romance with someone and not have to deal with all the daily stuff.
|Mon, 01-06-2014 - 9:12pm
Hi D--
No, you're not being silly.....it sounds to me as though he's a nice guy who likes you/living with you/would be fine marrying you, etc etc..........but just takes the easy path.
(Honestly, this sounds like my son and his GF (my son the easy going/easy path one...).........I'm ready to have the conversation with GF that when you're ready to get married /engaged, and dont want to be the one to badger him, let me know, and I'll badger him for you, LOL.....)
I think you're idea re: telling him if you're still wanting to get married sometime, I'm ready whenever you are.......right now would be a great time to start the conversation, so he has some time between now and valentines day to work on things...........you can be bold and tell him your ring size (dont be like my son's GF and deliberately leave a ring sitting out so he could get the size.....my son was NOT clued in with that at all, and I dont think your guy would be, either!)
Honestly, if my son's GF got fed up and left him because he hadnt proposed in time, my son would be devastated, I know he loves her with all his heart.......and I really think that's how your guy is.......so, just be blatant and tell him.
Also, I think if you share all you have with us re: not looking forward to all the work/details/etc, it just starts an honest discussion and will be positive in the long run.
Keep us posted!
(and I REALLY think the commercialization of Valentines Day is your best asset here.....be blantant with him before February gets here, and let all of the commercials before 2/14 do the rest.........if he really bombs out on 2/14....THEN ask him the deal about what he thought about living apart?---but I really dont think you'll have to....)
Also( I'm sure you know this), but if he is positive re: convo re: marriage eventually.....when you're near a jewerlry store, clue him in to what you like re: rings/or that you dont want one/whatever----make that decision easy for him, too.

LPN to BSN in North Carolina
- 0Aug 29, '10 by JumpingInPlease share your experiences about any LPN to BSN bridge programs throughout North Carolina. Thank you
- 0Sep 2, '10 by NC Girl BSNThere aren't any in NC. Indiana State University has one that is distant ed. You can set up clinicals at local hospitals in NC. Its not that expensive but you have to take alot of prerequisites. You have to be a motivated learner and it take at least 2-4 years to complete based on the prerequistes that you have take.
- 0Sep 9, '10 by BSNbyFaithActually, thats not true. I know for sure that NC A&T has an LPN to BSN bridge and I think UNCG and WSSU both have those programs as well...

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Initiates Cross-Tumor Study To Investigate Potential Predictive Response Markers For A Developmental Nanotherapeutic Chemotherapy
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:MACK) today announced enrollment of its first patient in a cross indication translational study. The study is designed to identify predictive biomarkers associated with the novel compound MM-398 in advanced colorectal, lung and triple-negative breast cancers. Specifically, it aims to establish the feasibility of collecting specialized magnetic resonance-based images (MRI) and tissue-based biomarkers for the purpose of estimating drug delivery to the tumor and patient response to MM-398.
A stable, nanotherapeutic encapsulation of the chemotherapy irinotecan, MM-398 is designed to optimize the delivery of irinotecan by increasing levels of the drug deposited in the tumor, extending circulation and thereby enabling preferential activation of the therapy within the tumor. Preclinical research has shown that the length of time MM-398, specifically the active component, SN38, remains within tumors directly correlates with tumor response. Another key to MM-398's activity may be the number of macrophages within a tumor, which have been shown to preferentially internalize liposomes and release their contents.
"Our research indicates tumor micro-environments across these clinical indications allow for the deposition of large particles, such as nanotherapeutics. They also have high levels of tumor-associated macrophages, which means MM-398 can be broken down and release increased levels of chemotherapy to the adjacent cancer cells," said Ulrik Nielsen, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Merrimack. "We believe this study is the first of its kind to combine the use of both imaging and biomarker diagnostic approaches and we hope that the insights we gain from this study will help to predict response to MM-398 in these hard-to-treat tumors."The cross indication translational study will focus on patients that have progressed following standard of care therapy for colorectal, lung and triple-negative breast cancers. The study is taking place at Scottsdale Healthcare Medical Center in Arizona.

LDAP and ISPConfig
If I setup LDAP on my server is there any way to integrate it into ispconfig?
So that make users once?
Or other options that I am not considering?
Either way I think LDAP is key for integrating products ie Drupal, Knoledgetree etc and would like to make it fit in as well as I can with ISPConfig?
You can not integrate ldap into ispconfig without changing a lot of sourcecode.
LDAP is sold as the solution for integrationg products but it is horrible to setup.
It seems to pull a lot of things together.
I know several others as well. But this does not make ldap any better to setup or handle and the ISPConfig setup is a bit more complicated then these applications as they do have to care just for their own setup and do not have to configure many third party applications. You may integrate LDAP in ISPConfig if you like it but I dont have the time to do this.
Seems they can work together without true integration.
So, how did you make them to work together? Did you have to write a script for syncing between ispconfig and openldap?
Sorry I meant could work ?
Really have not had time yet, but I think LDAP is on my list of things to do for 2008. Can work nice with CiviCRM
Thanks for that tip. I'll look into it, because civicrm's homepage seems down at the moment. Any other open source control panels that offer OpenLDAP integration?
have not looked much yet so no
but webmin always has options.

6 Crazy Star Wars Prequel Internet Theories
Star Trek talk? On my internet? It's exactly as likely as you think.
Subscribe to our newsletter
The upcoming Star Wars sequels will turn out more internet speculation than the attacks of September 11th. Chances are that most of it will be about as true in both cases. The last time that we were collectively teased with Star Wars movies was when the internet was really just getting into full swing. From the title of the new movies to what characters and locations meant, the last prequel franchise would have in fact been a lot crazier had the fans been allowed to write it, though we're not saying necessarily worse.
Liam Neeson Was Playing Yoda
When it was announced that Liam Neeson would be playing a Jedi in the 'Untitled Star Wars Prequel,' there was speculation that Neeson would in fact be playing Yoda. Even after there were pictures that surfaced in which you saw Neeson in full garb, there was still speculation that somehow Neeson was going to be cursed into being in small green Yoda form. Keep in mind, this is about the most well preserved 850 year old man this side of Mel Brook's 2000 year old man. The transformation scene alone may have been the most gruesome thing put on film this side of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly if done right. Fortunately, it was all just a rumor and we were not actively exposed to any of it. However, this was given credence at the time.
Charlton Heston As An Elder Jedi
This one gained so much steam that Star Wars producer Rick McCallum came out and denied it before the first movie ever came out. The way he denied it, you would probably be led to believe that Heston's politics may have had something to do with it. The truth is that it was an idea that gained a lot of steam. Heston would have seemed to fill a certain 'Alec Guinness Gravitas' that was ultimately missing even though they had Neeson in the movie. A cameo by Moses was felt to be a nod to the nature of the roles the actor played as well as give some credence to the franchise in general. Besides, who would not love having heard Heston's scream out in an over the top display "It's people. The Force is made of people!!!"
Amidala Would Kind of Be Banging ….. Well Everyone
Everyone kind of assumed that there would be a compelling reason for Anakin Skywalker to fall for the Dark Side. They assumed that the reason would be something a little bit beyond "I don't really understand why a person has to lie occasionally so I might as well destroy a universe in which the truth cannot always be told." A lot the speculation developed around who would become Ani's baby mama. If Obi Wan also fell down to the temptation of the beautiful future Black Swan, then that might add some added tension to the lightsaber duel at the end. There was also the possibility of Senator Bail Organa since it was firmly established that Leia grew up on Alderaan. Even freakier, there was the thought that Amidala might have been with Anakin, Obi Wan, and Organa all at the same time. This led to the interesting idea that Leia's mama's pillow talk led to the downfall of an entire universe.
Admiral Ackbar's Planet Will Appear in Episode I… No Wait Episode II… Just Show Us The Planet!
In both Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace as well as Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones , people were absolutely sure that the trailers indicated that we were finally going to see the fabled water planet of Mon Calamari where presumably Admiral Ackbar and his crew turned from Disney Cruise Liner employees into Somalian Pirates. Since no one had any freaking clue what a Gungan or Kimnoan was at the time, naturally an overabundance of any type of water would have to mean that the planet must be the Mon Calamari. Of course, this logic wound up being just a tad bit off. The question that the mind naturally would turn to then at that point would be "Why on Earth or any other planet was everyone so hepped up to see the planet of red squid men anyway?" Seriously, that is the destination that these people just have to have. It might be just because they were so consistently turned down.
Everyone Was Working Under The Assumption That 'Balance of the Force' Would Be The Title
The eventual line concerned a prophesy that this would be the child who would eventually bring balance to the Force. However, as lame as the title Star Wars Episode I: The Balance of the Force was, it was decidedly not more lame than the eventual Star Wars Episode I; The Phantom Menace. The only thing possibly lamer than that would have been Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom of the Opera Menace. It seemed to reason that the main reason that the internet was waiting for the eventual title to be released was so that they could go ahead and bitch rather heartily about the whole thing.
When Would The Turn Occur?
Not all of the speculation about the prequel trilogy was so crazy that the cat in the internet meme screaming about the dragons in the kitchen looked sane. One of the most intriguing schools of thought concerned when 'the turn' was going to occur. Of course, the turn was the moment when Anakin fell from a good guy to a bad guy. One particularly intriguing theory was that Anakin's turn would actually occur at the end of the second part of the trilogy. This would leave us with a whole movie featuring a young Vader before the final climatic duel. This internet theory really started to pick up steam when there was also some debate over whether Christopher Lee was going to play a good guy or bad guy in what became Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Unfortunately, most of that movie became a drama that you were trying to desperately escape while trapped in your own freshman dorm room. "OK, this is fun but where is our relationship …going?"

They keep me busy, and make life worth living. My family is most important to me and where I receive most the inspiration for my projects. We live in AZ and love it here! I love being a homemaker and turning my house into the home we love.
I started this blog as a creative outlet in a little bliss during my day called nap time. I. LOVE. Nap time. I love creating.

Filed under The truth
Work suits me
I have been tearing through a stack of magazines. Saving photos for collage, gifting and otherwise liking.
Every time I see a watch or clock, I think of Coffee and Art in the Morning, I think of my workbench and all of the things that I did to make it comfortable for me. I think of all of the pads of paper, paint and dies that lay un opened and unused.
I made 2 cards since I have been here. My current journal consist of pages with images glued to them in the hopes that they will meet some additional background decoration, before I begin to write on them. Work is always different, but I love working with the pets. They NEVER complain, are always grateful for the ice, walks and just a calm voice. Their owners on the other hand are a piece of work… If one of my customers does not have enough head or leg room, I upgrade them, at no cost to their owner, lol. Here is one of my grateful customers. ( I swear he looks like Bear in the Big Blue House!) oops, can't figure out how to upload, so it will have to wait until tomorrow… :)
Filed under bitching and stuff, life, Muse Sources
I am here and there but trying to be everywhere.
I have done more in the past 2 days than I have all of the past year. Old clothes tossed out, curtains washed and replaced, painting exterior boards for the house, curls, twists, flat ironing and not to mention bleaching every surface in sight.
The welcome has dissipated and the only thing that remains are the hugs, ever few hours or so.
Man, it is GOOD to be HOME!
I'm going home
I asked for a week off the day I interviewed. Everyone seems to have forgotten. I am going HOME. I WILL HUG MY KIDS, sleep in my OWN bed and laugh out loud. I will.surf the internet for as LONG as I want and eat popcorn for breakfast, because I CAN! I can wake up, make instant coffee and find.some friends making something on line, and I will feel at peace.
I am going to stare at my paper, ribbons and buttons and dies and feel the love.
I. Am. Going. Home.
Good Times
The Princess and I are having a fabulous time in New Jersey! My goddaughter has taken her to Manhattan sightseeing .Thing 2* has agreed to sit at home for the Short Woman. ; I have my FIRST new laptop; the back to school shopping has been completed at phenomenal savings and BOTH of the twins have moved out of the house! Time to DOWNSIZE!!!!! WOO-HOOOO!
*the names have been changed to protect the innocent, :)
Take your time…all the time.
This morning, my sister wanted me to ride with her to pick up a rental car. I get to ride around in the tiny mobile
(aka: her Sentra), because she rented an SUV to chauffer my niece for the big Senior PROM date. Now
I normally have access to a ride, but not a vehicle of my own…I am pumped up to say the least!
On our way to the rental agency, we pass the following:
I hope no one was injured. The police were on the way, as were the emergency vehicles. Talk about a bad start to a day.
On the other hand. I have a dilema. I have these cool boxes, that I just cannot toss out…
They are saying storage, but, what to do?
Any ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations? (Besides toss 'em out!?)
Filed under If it's free, Mixed media art, recycling
A job is a job, is a job. complaints abound, lol.
Anything is better than the lack of job I had previously, but I am learning not to dwell on what was, but what I want to BE. I was gifted a smart phone from the wonderful Mitzi and have been able to do ALL sorts of cool stuffs on line! It is small enough that I don't have to worry about being mugged for it, but best of all, NO MONTHLY PAYMENT! Thanks again, Mitzi! My nieces go through phones like water and my sister also gave me one on her account, but I save that one for emergencies and or calls to home, most of which, I use a phone card for. Either way, I am SO grateful.
I was able to find one pad of paper on clearance at Michaels when they had the big sale 2 weeks ago. Our Mikes stuff never hangs around long enough to be discounted or sale priced (did I mention that my phone has a barcode scanner so I can read prices! :o ).LOL! I bought the pad of cardstock (something supposedly to do with Vampires, lol), got a Smash book for $9.00 and book bands with Hello Kitty on them for Michaela. THAT IS ALL THEY HAD! I will have to ask someone to shop for me at their better sale locations. It would be cheaper for me to pay for postage on a stuffed box than to waste gas going 40 minutes out for less than $20 bucks worth of stuff. I asked my husband to weigh my big bite, cropadile and some bags of WOC roses to ship to me, it came to $94.35. I could buy a cheap hole punch, another Big Bite and new roses for that amount. I won't be going home until at least September, but now that I can watch streams, I am motivated to start folding paper, again.
Hope everyone is well and that the spring sunshine has made it's way to your neck of the woods. I have not taken any photos, so I am recycling something :)

The Gates of Avalon
Morgana wakes up in a cold sweat from a nightmare in which Arthur is slowly sinking underwater; a young woman standing over him with her arm outstretched.Arthur and Merlin are out hunting in the forest (with Arthur getting increasingly frustrated with Merlin�s clumsiness) when they hear cries for help. An elderly man and his young daughter are being attacked by bandits. Arthur jumps into the fray and begins to fight them off, with Merlin discreetly helping by making a tree branch fall on one of his opponents. As the last man rushes off into the forest, Arthur dismisses the tree branch as a stroke of luck and introduces himself to the couple. Their names are Aulfric and Sophia, and Arthur seems instantly interested in the latter.Back at the court at Camelot, Aulfric explains to Uther that their home was destroyed by raiders and they�re traveling to their family in the west. Uther invites them to stay in Camelot until they are ready to resume their journey, and Arthur and Sophia exchange a smile as she leaves the room.At Arthur�s behest, Sophia is installed into the room next to his, but as Merlin gives her blankets at the door Morgana comes down the stairs and spots her going inside. She recognises her instantly from the girl in her dreams and asks Merlin who she is. After learning that Sophia and her father are welcome in Camelot, Morgana goes to Gaius to tell her that she had a precognitive dream. Gaius tries to dissuade her and gives her a sleeping draught to induce a deeper sleep.In a campfire in the forest the last remaining bandit meets with Aulfric to receive his payment for the fake robbery earlier in the day. His complaints about the deaths of his friends are short-lived, for Aulfric quickly finishes him off with a bolt of energy from the staff he carries.That night, Morgana has the same dream of Arthur drowning at Sophia�s hands in the lake.The following morning Arthur expresses a wish to show Sophia around Camelot � only he needs Merlin to cover for him considering he�s supposed to be on patrol duty. Merlin is hesitant to lie to the king, but Arthur�s enthusiasm about Sophia wins him over. As the couple gallop out of the courtyard they are watched from an upper window by Morgana and Guinevere. Gwen encourages her to tell Uther about the dream, but Morgana is too afraid.

As title says, I'm curious as to what inspired Jinx. Upon reading Vi's report of who Jinx is, and reading the vandalism messages from our dearly beloved #116, I cannot help but be reminded of the Joker of DC fame (with Vi here acting as a more bloodthirsty Dark Knight, if you will).
To make it clear, I'm not some random dude flaming about "LOL YOU GUYS SO ORIGINAL", because I recognize everyone gets inspiration from quite literally everything they experience, so attacking a person's originality has no merit at all. I'm asking what exactly inspired the apparently anarchic, crazy "I'm a crazy mothaf***a because IT'S SO DAMN FUN!" attitude of the champion.
I'm insanely curious about this, so any response at all would be appreciated

Senior Member
clearly a female version of shaco was there inspiration.
considering Vi has a missing sister and Vi's page was vandalized, Vi's evil criminal sister? Vi used to be a criminal but turned good. Read her lore. Maybe her sister is Jinx and she comes back for revenge against Vi for going good.
We might not find out until its near finished.
joker / harvey come to mind.. even the description is straight from DC
Silver Grimalkin
Tiny Tina comes to my mind, personally.
Though jinx looks more like 15~16
