"I want to be a part of the intellectual discussion defending family issues and life," Yoest says she told Dr. Cook. "He was wholly unimpressed. He said, 'Go write me a paper on why abortion should be legal.' Apparently, I didn't do a great job at it. He really helped me focus on where I didn't understand my whole argument. It changed the whole way I think about the issue. He really challenged me – defend it, defend it, defend it."
Yoest says she learned that her adversaries' arguments shift ground and divert attention from what she believes is the essential fact: Abortion takes a human life.
If there was any sign of Yoest's future calling, it was that she was always "a little adult" – eager for dinner-table discussion of the topics she read about in Newsweek, recalls her mother, Janice Shaw Crouse.
Though Yoest was born in Lexington, Ky., the family, which included a younger brother, moved frequently for the Crouses' doctoral work and teaching assignments. They bounced from Indiana to upstate New York, and then overseas when Mr. Crouse won a Fulbright Fellowship to teach at National Taiwan University in Taipei.
The two years abroad were formative for Yoest and her brother, who were elementary-age students old enough to appreciate the journey, which included swim meets in Okinawa, Japan, and a summer traveling with their parents around Europe.

Change in role of designers has always been a matter of deep concern for all design professionals.Every age has its own winners and losers ....today designers are facing the challenge of constantly changing their roles.The role of a designer in Retail and Real Estate is an example of the same.Both these fields are booming and suddenly everyone is either vying to find a way in or already finding themselves in it. While retail has its philosophy like real estate of making most and any how, designers are left with no choice but to join the gang. They function more like managers or salespeople and not as generators of design.

Skiing in the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand or South America is probably for most people a fly-only option unless you are actually living there.

It will, of course, depend on where you live but in some cases taking the train or driving may well be a good option. There are many wheelchair accessible hotels/motels/bed and breakfast accommodation close to the main auto-routes in France and Europe and can ensure a more reasonable arrival time in the ski resort!
Ski 2 Freedom has a number of useful contacts for which travel, and in many cases, this is specific to people with a disability who are going on holiday, is their field of expertise.
Given the number of different ways of travel we have divded this section into:
- Air
- Car
- Train
- Ferry
- Channel Tunnel
- Transfer to Ski Resort
Ski 2 Freedom Mountain and Ski Guide
This Guide will be launched shortly via our website - it will include much more comprehensive information. Until such time please do contact us direct at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can help you with your enquiry.

NBP, Ranger Serenity Nijihana
Serenity lay on the ground, beneath a shady tree, by the station, accompanied by Sapphire, her Empoleon, and Amethyst, her purple Blaziken. She was clad in light purple cargo pants and a plain periwinkle T-shirt which she wore instead of her usual rainbow dress and shorts. Her long red-brown hair was scattered across her face and sprawled out on the grass. The girl was content, and peaceful, her large breasts slightly flattened by gravity. The girl was trying to calm herself, as she was quite anxious for her very first job. Only just having become a ranger for the mysterious island, she was worried that she would allow something horrid to happen to such a lovely place. Still a tad aware of her surroundings, the teen felt like a person was approaching her.
"Hello?" She stammered and sat up, "May I help you?" Serenity scratched her head, her hair a bit messy.

Time Passing Too Fast? 5 Easy Ways to Save Your Favorite Memories

2013: The Best Year of Your Life?
Do you ever wake up and wonder, "Where has my life gone?" Whether time is going too fast or you can't remember the events that mean the most to you, it's time to start recording those special times of your life so you don't forget anything else. Read on for 5 creative ways to go beyond the basic journal and keep track of your trials and triumphs. Plus: Take our quiz to see if you'll live to 80...
1. Guestbook
If you struggle with writing down your memories, let someone else do the dirty work for you with a guest book. Though usually a wedding tradition, you can have one of these at any event, be it a holiday, birthday, reunion or dinner party. A nice book with lined paper will look pretty, but will lead to a lot of "Congratulations," or "We love yous!" These sentiments are nice, but they won't necessarily help you to remember the person or the moment later on.
Write a list of 10 questions next to your guestbook and ask your family to answer one of them in the book. Think creatively: For the holidays, ask something like, "What's your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?" or for a birthday party, ask, "What present did you buy for Aunt Sarah?" The trick is to get your guests to creatively open up to have you laughing and reminiscing years down the road.
2. Photo Scrapbook
Do you have a box full of photos in your garage that you need to sift through? We have just the thing for you! The great thing about scrapbooking is that it can take as much or as little money as you want. You can buy colored paper, stickers, sparkly glue, and all manner of ribbons and doo-dads… or you can opt for the basic version and all you need are scissors, paper, a pen, and a glue-stick.
If you're having trouble getting started, head to a craft store, which will sell inexpensive scrapbook kits that are often based around a certain event. A Thanksgiving kit may have stickers of pilgrims and paper in orange and red shades. But they have generic kits too that are filled with multi-colored paper and pretty ribbons.
Finished scrapbooks make great gifts – create one that's devoted to someone you love, like your mom, and include pictures from her childhood to her wedding to the present.
No matter what you're chronicling, get as creative as you want. Use items you have lying around your home to add personality to each page. If you're reminiscing about your trip to the zoo, cut a border out of animal wrapping paper, or flip though some old magazines and clip pictures of wild animals. Don't forget to make up funny captions too!
3. Dear Diary…
You've got a beautiful new notebook, a fountain pen and… writer's block. If you're not in the habit of keeping a journal, where do you even begin? You don't have to use the typical "Dear Diary, today I..." mode if you don't want to.
If you're new to
, treat your diary like it's someone you've just met. Tell it where you work, what your family is like and where you grew up, making sure you add personal stories and anecdotes along the way. Writing down simple information about yourself will get you into the writing groove – and it will remind you of all the stories from your past that you need to record.
For a real trip down memory lane, buy an "All About Me" book. Every section (life, career, love, money) asks a series of questions and then gives you space to answer. But beware: These books won't hold anything back! You'll be asked to spill the details on everything from your favorite subject in grade school to the first time you had your heart broken to a time when you betrayed a friend. If you don't' want to fill out the whole thing, use the questions as inspiration to record something in your journal about the best – and worst – times of your life.
4. Picture Book
This is the perfect option if you just can't decide between a journal and a scrapbook. If you make a traditional scrapbook, the writing you do will be in the form of headers and captions, but in this version you'll go further. You'll record your thoughts, feelings and your favorite part of the day, then paste in a picture to emphasize your point.
For example, you could write a poem about the beautiful sunset you saw while you were camping, then glue in a photo as an illustration. You can use any format you'd like: If it's an event that had a definite beginning and end, you can tell it like a story: "First, we arrived at the hotel, which overlooked the ocean. Next, we ate at a charming local restaurant…" Or you can simply use it as a way to record your thoughts.
And you don't have to use your own pictures either. Look for pics in magazines and newspapers that emphasize how you feel and what you want to remember.
5. Camcorder
Some events just can't be described in words – enter the camcorder. You don't have to be experiencing a major life event to start the camera rolling. Even just taking the video camera around your house and recording the decorations in the living room or what's baking in the oven can mark times in your life. Camcorders are also great for interviewing family members at a reunion or holiday party.
Camcorder, cont'd
A tip: Don't just stick the video in your relatives' faces and ask them to say something. Ask them things that you want to remember later. Think something along the lines of, "So Grandpa, what's been your favorite birthday gift so far?" or "Mom, these party decorations are fantastic – where did you find the piñata?"
And don't be afraid to set the scene before you turn the camera on. Put on your favorite CD and tidy up the room a bit. If it's a birthday party, have your relative hold a few balloons while speaking... anything goes! This is your movie, and you're the director.

Management is one of the subjects gaining importance in everyone's life. Without proper management the world will come to standstill. Any organization to succeed in developing itself needs a better management. Management may be defined as an activity of managing all the resources human and as well as material resources. The ultimate aim of management is to make maximum profits with a minimum effort. It should also encompasses the society welfare and deep inclination towards the development of the organization at large. Management is not by the way of understanding the people and their orientation towards their job or performance of their job in a better way. But it is to understand the lack of the same and filling the gaps with proper allocation of resources both men and material. Needs a dynamic leadership with distinguished abilities. Abilities to bring out an excellent network and reducing the wide gap with prior thinking. Nothing is impossible should be the managers aim for developing a organizational towards excellence. Besides providing in-depth training and need to analyze the issues pertaining to the management development and growth should be emphasized. Having a sound financial resource is not enough for any organization. It should be better guided by a group of leaders with dynamic vision and with a mission. Management cannot be taught under classroom and practical experimentation will help in developing a manager to a dynamic leader. Dynamic Leader can win for others, command the organization towards effective and efficient management. The might is right philosophy should not be advocated at any cost in an organization. Better to listen and understand the concept of management, their problems and advocating a effective strategy will help in long run. Making the people to understand their role is the way which can be adopted towards the successful management process. By stimulating motivation through rewards, career planning and development organization can itself lead over the others. Management should also try to be effectively utilize and understand the Government policies and regulations. It should try to utilize the same for the betterment of the organization at large. Many organizations do ignore the same and face severe consequences in the latter stages. Proper studying of the Government policies and regulation will help in removing the obstacles and challenges from the Government. Management should deal with the problems according to priority basis. The allocation of maximum resources (especially men, material and finance) will have a negative impact on the organization. Proper studying the market and the consumer needs will help in developing a tie between men, material and finance which is considered to be the life blood for any organization. Management should never stop any creative ideas at all the three levels of management. Any idea can generate a spark which can enlighten the organization towards an unimaginable excellence. Handling the management is the difficult task and should be given prior importance at all levels of management. Finally, to conclude management should try to understand the pulse of men, material and Government Policies and Regulations. This will help in reaping greater benefits for organization with welfare orientedness.

HDFS Storage Locations and Hive
Given the direction HDFS is going with Storage locations as identified in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2832 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12597860/20130813-HeterogeneousStorage.pdf Is now the right time to toss out some suggestions for the Hive project on incorporating some of these features? I don't see it being a hard thing, we could have new partitions created in a managed table targeted to a certain storage type (say SSD) and then a very simple built in command that could be run to set the storage location on partitions older than a certain date to be on slower storage (say HDD). Basically, the ideal from a user/administrator perspective is managed tables with partition locations on various storage locations that is seamless to user running a query. Say I have 5 partitions day='2014-03-03' day='2014-03-02' day='2014-03-01' day='2014-02-28' day='2014-02-27' March 2 and 3 would be assigned to SSD storage, and Feb 27-March 1 would be on HDD. at some point in the early morning of March 4. (note March 4 automatically goes into SSD). A command could be run ALTER TABLE mytable SET part_location = /user/hive/fast_data/mytable/day='2014-02-27' WHERE day='2014-02-27' This command would do a few things: Ensure the location doesn't exist (if it does, it will fail, perhaps this is controllable in the command, i.e. copy data, don't fail if directory exists) Create the new new part_location Copy the data from old location to new location (verify this command completes) Update Metadata in hive to point the managed part location to new location remove old data/location This would allow there to be a simple command that does all the work of moving things, yes it still would be manual (i.e. it's not built into hive to auto age older partitions) but at the same time, that is something that should be managed by the admin anyhow. This allows a simple command to all the work, including moving the data and updating the metadata. Heck, you could even add a feature here. instead of just copying the files in the old location, perhaps do a INSERT OVERWRITE type command where if there was lots of smaller files appended to the original older location, the "archival" process uses Map Reduce to reorganize the files into larger files for better compression, storage. Maybe add a "WITH DEFRAG" option to the Alter statement. WITH DEFAG could be a trigger for a m/r rather than just file copy. If this M/R fails, obviously the metadata isn't updated and the old data isn't deleted. Thoughts? |

Kim may be heartbroken over her failed marriage, but the festive tree Kris Jenner set up certainly brought plenty of merriment into the house!
Kim Kardashian has caused her family plenty of strife following her split with Kris Humphries, but the clan made sure to celebrate Christmas nonetheless with an elaborately-decorated tree!
Kim, 31, took to Twitter on Dec. 25 to write, "How pretty is my mom's Christmas tree!" She attached a picture of Kris Jenner's festive decorations — they're lavish but definitely are appropriate for a Kardashian Christmas!
Do YOU think Kim will start to look for a new man after the holidays, HollywoodLifers?

Yeah, so they've made enough money from people like dumba-ss idiots like me who USED to watch there show and buy the crap. NOT ANYMORE, me & my friends have decided to boycott anything connected to them. They have more money than we could only dream to have. Meanwhile, when there driving/wearing/carrying/vacactioning/etc and mention the name of whatever it is…that means they get it FREE. NO MORE FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS. This is my last comment on them.

There are too many bulbs on the tree. In this case less is best. Still not a bad looking tree.
IMO Kim is not and has never been heartbroken over her marriage. Everybody knows it was fake. She's heartbroken over the backlash she has received.
Kim need to take a break with men and get her priorities straight. Having nothing to offer but trying to look like the "perfect" barbie doll is not going to cut it. Men want women with substance from within and she don't have it.

Thirty years on, Corrs Chambers Westgarth become the first lawyers to discover the delights of open plan offices
PUBLISHED: 16 Oct 2013 08:27:17 | UPDATED: 17 Oct 2013 12:22:20PUBLISHED: 16 Oct 2013 PRINT EDITION: 17 Oct 2013John Denton, CEO of Corrs Chambers Westgarth (right, with Andrew Butler of Mirvac) will moves into Corrs's new $350 million trophy building in Sydney's Elizabeth Street next week.
Fiona Smith
They fought it for as long as they could – for 30 years, in fact. But now the open plan office has finally come to the big law firm.
Corrs Chambers Westgarth moves into its new $350 million trophy building in Sydney's Elizabeth Street on Monday.
While the lawyers learn to whisper into their telephones for the first time, the rest of us moved on long ago and are now grappling with losing our desks (not just our offices). We are coming to accept that not having a place to call our own doesn't mean we've been retrenched in the brave new world of "activity-based working".
As they become accustomed to putting up with the wafting aromas of someone else's lunch, we are fondly recalling the brief playground fad of the 1990s, when inter-floor slippery dips played havoc with our pantyhose and wobbly meeting chairs on springs kept us amused during meetings.
Oh, the fun we had.
For so long, law firms argued that they had to retain their offices because of privacy and security concerns, but advances in technology mean that excuse no longer holds water. Now, they are joining the rest of us "on the floor".
Partners who still dictate, rather than type, will use one of the small meeting rooms to make sure they don't disturb others.
Meanwhile, the superior quality of Corrs's Sydney headquarters is a reminder that city lawyers are still very different from the rest of us.
When Corrs property partner, Peter Calov, says the move from Governor Phillip Tower to the brand new 8 Chifley tower has nothing to do with saving money, he can point to the fact there are three airy multi-level atria among its 10 floors, which means the firm was not concerned about squeezing people into smaller spaces.
"We've spent as much money as our peers [on new premises]," he says.
And while the 350 staff will certainly have much less personal space than they did in their cosy offices, they still have 18 square metres per person (averaging out over desk space, meeting rooms and socialising space) in the Chifley building – positively spacious compared to those cheek-by-jowl workspace ratios of one person per eight metres.
Versatile and green
They can still feel right at home in their workspaces, which have been designed to look like wood-panelled mini-offices.
As for security concerns, Calov says the ability to lock off floors and move teams away from each other if they are working on competing bids helps make sure that secrets are kept.
"We think this is more secure than the [old] office environment," he says, noting the "follow me" printing means that there is less chance sensitive documents will be left on the printer.
And, when it comes to trying to attract the "aspirational lawyer", Corrs has chosen a building designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the firm of eminent UK architect, Lord Richard Rogers, who designed the Pompidou Centre in Paris, in collaboration with Australia's Lippmann Partnership.
It also has the caché of being a 6 Green Star-rated building (paper storage has already halved).
Calov explains that, even through the global financial crisis, the competition for top class legal brains has not abated.
"We wanted something architecturally exciting for our staff," he says.
Calov also says that the collaborative way lawyers now have to work has superceded the traditional legal firm design and the new building should drive some cultural change.
Younger people will also have the benefit of incidental learning and mentoring, sitting so close to the partners.
Now that the Sydney office is sorted, the Melbourne and Perth offices are about to go though their own transitions into new buildings and Corrs is on the hunt for new premises in Brisbane.

In fact, it was his seeming indifference -- to his sport, his image, his reputation -- that made him a badass. He could afford to be so derisive and aloof: Anquetil won over 200 road races in his career, including the Tour de France (five times) and the Grand Prix des Nations time trials (nine times).

UTCS Colloquium/AI: Paul Newman/Oxford University Appearance Based Navigation and the FAB-MAP Algorithm ACES 2.402 Tuesday April 1 2008 2:30 p.m.
There is a signup schedule for this event (UT EID required).
e of Talk: UTCS Colloquium/AI
Speaker Name/Affiliation: Paul Newma
n/Oxford University
Date/Time: Tuesday April 1 2008 2:30 p.m.
Location: ACES 2.402
Host: Ben Kuipers
Talk Title:
Appearance Based Navigation and the FAB-MAP Algorithm
Talk Abstract:
This talk considers an appearance-based topological approach
to mob
ile robotic navigation and mapping. We shall introduce a
new algorithm
- Fast Appearance Based Mapping (FAB-MAP) -
which is capable of buildin
g large scale (>>km) topological maps
and detecting loop closure with a
cost linear in the size of the map.
Loop closing is the problem of cor
rectly asserting that a robot has
returned to a previously visited area
. It is a particularly hard but
important component of the Simultaneous
Localization and
Mapping (SLAM) problem. Here a mobile robot explores
a-priori unknown environment performing on-the-fly mapping
the map is used to localize the vehicle. Many SLAM
implementations loo
k to internal map and vehicle estimates to
make decisions about whether
a vehicle is revisiting a previously
mapped area or is exploring a new
region of workspace. We
suggest that one of the reasons loop closing i
s hard in SLAM
is precisely because these internal estimates can despi
te best
efforts be in gross error. FAB-MAP makes no recourse to the metric estimates of the SLAM system it supports and aidsit is
entirely independent. We illustrate the effectiveness of the
on several outdoor and indoor data sets producing
both purely topologic
al maps and by integrating topological
constraints within large scale m
etric SLAM maps built with 3D
laser data.

Paul N
ewman obtained an M.Eng. in Engineering Science
from Oxford University
in 1995. He then undertook a Ph.D.
in autonomous navigation at the Aust
ralian Center for Field
Robotics University of Sydney Australia. In 1
999 he returned
to the United Kingdom to work in the commercial sub-sea
navigation industry. In late 2000 he joined the Dept of Ocean
neering at M.I.T. where as a post-doc and later a research
scientist h
e worked on algorithms and software for robust
autonomous navigation fo
r both land and sub-sea agents. In
early 2003 he returned to Oxford as
a Departmental Lecturer
in Engineering Science before being appointed t
o a University
Lectureship in Information Engineering and becoming a Fe
of New College in 2005. He heads the Oxford Mobile robotics
search group and has research interests in pretty much
anything to do w
ith autonomous navigation but particularly
Simultaneous Localisation an
d Mapping. He is on the editorial
board of the International Journal of
Robotics Research and
The Journal of Field Robotics and a IEEE R.A.S E
Distinguished Lecturer for 2008 and 2009.

9-bit video decoder: 2 ADCs, 4 analog inputs, Industrial Temp
The 9-bit video input processor is a combination of a two-channel analog preprocessing circuit including source selection, anti-aliasing filter and ADC, an automatic clamp and gain control, a Clock Generation Circuit (CGC), a digital multistandard decoder (PAL BGHI, PAL M, PAL N, combination PAL N, NTSC M, NTSC-Japan, NTSC N and SECAM), a brightness, contrast and saturation control circuit, a multistandard VBI data slicer and a 27 MHz VBI data bypass.
The pure 3.3 V CMOS circuit SAA7113H, analog front-end and digital video decoder, is a highly integrated circuit for desktop video applications. The decoder is based on the principle of line-locked clock decoding and is able to decode the color of PAL, SECAM and NTSC signals into ITU-R BT 601 compatible color component values. The SAA7113H accepts as analog inputs CVBS or S-video (Y/C) from TV or VTR sources. The circuit is I²C-bus controlled.
The integrated high performance multistandard data slicer supports several VBI data standards:
- Teletext 625 lines: WST (World Standard Teletext) and CCST (Chinese teletext)
- Teletext 525 lines: US-WST, NABTS (North-American Broadcast Text System) and MOJI (Japanese teletext)
- Closed caption: Europe and US (line 21)
- Wide Screen Signalling (WSS)
- Video Programming Signal (VPS)
- Time codes (VITC EBU/SMPTE)
- High-speed VBI data bypass for Intercast application.
- Four analog inputs, internal analog source selectors, e.g. 4 x CVBS or 2 x Y/C or (1 x Y/C and 2 x CVBS)
- Two analog preprocessing channels in differential CMOS style for best S/N-performance
- Fully programmable static gain or automatic gain control for the selected CVBS or Y/C channel
- Switchable white peak control
- Two built-in analog anti-aliasing filters
- Two 9-bit video CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), digitized CVBS or Y/C-signals are available on the VPO-port via IC-bus control
- On-chip clock generator
- Line-locked system clock frequencies
- Digital PLL for horizontal sync processing and clock generation, horizontal and vertical sync detection
- Requires only one crystal (24.576 MHz) for all standards
- Automatic detection of 50 Hz and 60 Hz field frequency and automatic switching between PAL and NTSC standards
- Luminance and chrominance signal processing for PAL BGHI, PAL N, combination PAL N, PAL M, NTSC M, NTSC N, NTSC 4.43, NTSC-Japan and SECAM
- User programmable luminance peaking or aperture correction
- Cross-color reduction for NTSC by chrominance comb filtering
- Low power (< 0.5 W), low voltage (3.3 V), small package (QFP44)
- Power saving mode by chip enable input
- Detection of copy protected input signals according to the Macrovision standard; can be used to prevent unauthorized recording of pay-TV or video tape signals.

"Colgate! Colllllllga- *hic* -ate!" The call came in loud and clear from the other side of Colgate's front door. Colgate groaned and put down her book in a huff. For now she just sunk into her armchair a little deeper, trying to pretend like she didn't know exactly what was coming next. Sure, she could pretend not to be home for now, but it was only a matter of time until-
"Col-whoa!" A loud thump shook her front door. Colgate winced, despite pretty much expecting that. This was the point at which she usually got up to stop the pony on the other side from harming herself (or the house) too greatly. But she had been out nearly every night this week, and couldn't understand why she could get a little peace. So maybe if she waited just a little longer than usual...
"Colgate! I know yur- oooof." The call wasn't quite coming from the door anymore. Oh no, Colgate thought. She wasn't. She wasn't really-
"Hiya Colgate!" the suddenly much louder and clearer voice greeted Colgate from her window. Colgate finally looked over, and sure enough a sloppy grin greeted her from the window, attached to a rather sloppy pony busy clambering through said portal. She hadn't expected Berry Punch to be quite this insistent, but the inebriated mare was single-minded when it came to exactly two things - booze, and getting others to drink it with her.
"Hello Berry. I didn't hear you at the door." Colgate lied, not even really angry. There was something to be said for Berry's... it wasn't exactly loyalty per say but she seemed dedicated to make sure her friends were having the same 'good time' she was apparently having. Berry grunted and huffed as she heaved herself through Colgate's half-open window. Her brilliant plan apparently hadn't included opening the window more than halfway, and Colgate had to admit the sight of the pink pony trying to haul herself in by her forelegs was too morbidly interesting to put a stop to. It was a lot like watching... well, not to be mean, but it was like watching a train wreck. You just wanted to see how much damage it would end with, and how spectacularly it would go wrong.
"Y'really need to get your boor dell unbroken, y'know." Berry scolded her, one foreleg waggling helplessly as she tried to reach the floor. Colgate briefly thought back to the day she had torn her doorbell from the frame. That had been a good day.
"Any day now." Colgate replied. Belatedly, she added. "Would you like some help?"
Berry had gotten her forelegs on the ground, but had encountered a stopping point. There was simply no way her flanks were getting through without opening the window several inches more. Tongue peeking out with concentration, Berry grunted and heaved hopelessly, oblivious to the fact that her backside firmly wedged in the window, hind legs dangling limp in midair. Colgate could only hope no young foals walked by outside her house.
"I... got it...." Berry insisted, pawing at the carpet. Colgate sighed and lit her horn. The window came wide open, and Berry suddenly fell forward as her hindquaters came free. Colgate tried to stifle a snort as Berry's face hit carpet. She completely failed to hide her laughter as the rest of Berry followed suit from the momentum, flopping over and leaving the pink mare flat on her back, only slightly more dazed than when she had begun. Colgate looked up from her snickering to find Berry trying to get herself upright. She had managed to roll on to her side, but apparently each of her legs had its own idea on how to move forward, and none of them were in agreement.
"I, huff, I gotta whatshit fer you!" Berry told her, managing to get the majority of her hooves underneath her and working from there. Colgate raised an eyebrow.
"A what now?"
"A, you know! A thing with the.... a shupurshe!" Berry smiled triumphantly.
"A... surprise?"
"Like I shaid, I got....what did I shay again?" Berry blinked ever so slowly at Colgate from across the room.
"I think it involved booze." Colgate replied glibly. Berry gave a very unabahsed belch.
"No thanks, I'm good." she finished with, wiping a hoof across her mouth. She looked around, perking up as she found the front door.
"C'mon, we're going up. Through. Shidewaysh." Berry stumbled over her words, heading for the door.
"Out? And... did you just say no to drink?" Colgate asked, not budging from her armchair. Now came the fun of watching Berry battle the doorknob. The earth pony's hooves seemed to be coated in butter when it came to any kind of dextrous action, never managing to grip the device for more than a second.
"Sure! I got a... um..."
"Surprise." Colgate sighed. "Here." She got the door, just glad that Berry hadn't decided to leave the way she came in. Grunting in surprise as the door seemed to open itself, Berry Punch swayed out into the evening sun. Colgate bit her lip, considering closing and locking the door and window while she had the chance. Her inner demons (aloofness and alcoholism) were still in heated debate when Berry's head stuck back through the doorframe. Her angry scowl was diminished rather considerably by the fact that she couldn't keep her eyes straight.
"Colgate, I shaid we're going down already!"
"Not without a few more drinks for us both, I hope." Colgate replied. She finally slid off the chair and on to her hooves, knowing the battle lost. Berry turned and waited, her purple mop of a tail swishing back and forth slowly. All else said and done, there was a certain.... rhythm to Berry Punch, even when she was at her most pickled. Colgate began a little... hobby... of hers; counting. Berry's tail moved at three seconds a cycle. She could hear Berry's breathing, the mare apparently rather labored by her trek over and through the window. That moved at two-point-two seconds a cycle. Berry swayed her hips back and forth at three and a third seconds a cycle, give or take. Colgate slipped into a rhythm following behind Berry, as she always did.
Time. Colgate was accutely aware of it. She couldn't turn it off. There went a second, there went another one. She was told it was a gift. Almost all unicorn magic was, by nature, spatial. Even Twilight Sparkle seemed more comfortable with levitation, teleportation, transmutation... matters of spatial locality. Colgate couldn't manipulate time, not directly, but she could see all of it. She could see tomorrow on the horizon, and looking over her shoulder she saw yesterday. And while at first it had felt like such a gift, like when she got her cutie mark - she effectively saved her aunt's life by noticing she had no tomorrow coming, getting her to go in for a check-up mere hours before a heart attack would have put an end to her - but over time, she began to see that everywhere. There was an hourglass over everypony's head, and all Colgate could do was add a little more sand if they followed her advice. It didn't matter if her horn was lit or not, that just made it easier to see specifics. If she kept to herself, the only pony's hourglass she saw was her own. It should've been comforting how much sand was still left in it, but all Colgate could see was each second falling...
The alcohol wasn't a great solution, she knew. She woke up some mornings to find too much sand had fallen through her hourgless. But at least for a little bit, she couldn't see anyone's hourglass. It turned off, and she could enjoy herself. So she and Berry both knew that when one came knocking, the other was going to tag along. But if Colgate played this game she could pretend... she could pretend that the only reason she got together with Berry was because they were both drunk, and not because the pink mare was the only pony who had ever brought Colgate some real peace.
"Iffff y'feel like not shtarin- ah, who am I kiddin', keep shtaring, but we're here!" Berry told her, giving her trademark sloppy grin as she looked over her shoulder at Colgate.
"We're... where?" Colgate looked up. Not enough time had passed for them to be at Berry's usual haunts. In fact, the only thing Colgate could think of this time from her house...
"Here?" Colgate asked, brow furrowed as she regarded the old schoolhouse in front of them. Berry was already heading for the door.
"Cheerilee-ilee-ilee promished she'd keep it unlock-ed." Berry explained, pushing the door in. Curious, Colgate followed her inside. The one-room schoolhouse didn't even look all that different from when she and Berry had attended. There were still cubbies along the wall for students to put lunchsacks and, in the winter, booties in. Paper cutouts of the alphabet ringed the interior, doused in glitter that occasionally caught the evening sun coming in through the open windows. Colgate found her eyes going from desk to desk as she followed Berry towards the front of the room. Some things... some things time simply didn't touch.
"Why here?"
"S'where, s'where all the important shtuff happens." Berry said, her words coming slowly as she chose them with purpose. "S'where you an' I met. S'where I last saw m-my mother..." Colgate's gaze went to the teacher's desk. It had looked so huge as a filly, and truth be told, there was still something intimidating about that desk. How many generations had passed on either side, she wondered? How many more would? Time moved forward here, yet at the same time, not quite...
"Cheerilee does her memory proud." Colgate said, her sympathy sincere. She hadn't expected this, and was trying to understand what drunk logic had brought them here on a Saturday night.
"Yeah. She does." Berry's voice held that tint of jealousy that she never managed to hide when her little sister came up. Colgate had talked to Cheerilee about it once, finding that the schoolmare knew, but it was just easier to let Berry think she hid it. So Colgate said nothing, simply watching at Berry turned aside from the desk. The pink mare looked up at the ceiling, turning around so her back was to the blackboard. Colgate's mind brought her back over a decade, watching a pink filly with a goofy grin do just as she did now.
"Your part's first." Berry said. Colgate paused, but Berry was clearly entirely serious about this. This was not the kind of drunk logic that led Berry to attempt a reverse stage-dive or steal a piano. Something was up. So Colgate lit her horn, flinching as time's ghost showed her the building's age, even some of the last schoolday, and removed a single plank in the wooden celing. Berry gave a swift kick, and down came an old rope ladder, unfurling all the way to the floor. The rungs weren't spaced very far apart.
"It's still there?" she asked, mostly expecting nothing to happen and Berry to be having some kind of episode. "It can't be safe."
"Trusht me." Berry gave a very goofy grin, obviously forcing it a little. "Miiiiiight want to take out a clople more boardsh though." Berry heaved herself on to her hind legs. Colgate moved instinctively as Berry swayed dangerously far back, but by flinging out her forelegs like she was walking a tightrope the pickled mare managed to right herself. Once her forelegs were stuck in between rungs of the ladder Berry looked... well, 'stable' was too strong a word, but the chance she was going to fall over had diminished ever so slightly. Colgate watched, somewhat in awe as Berry managed to heave herself up rung after rung. It was an act of acrobatics for the mare, but she managed.
"Berry... this is dangerous. Let's go to the Blue Mare." Colgate liked the Blue Mare. The patron had a quirky sense of humor, and gave Colgate a discount for "free advertising". Plus, it was mares only, so she felt less awkward when Berry forgot that Colgate wasn't entirely comfortable with public displays yet. Which she did feel bad about, she had to admit, after all, they had been together for...
"Oh no way." Colgate's eyes widened. How had she forgotten. How had she not realized? That was what she did. She counted. Each second, each minute. Well, 31,536,000 seconds, or 525,600 minutes, or to cut to the chase three-hundred and sixty-five days had passed since Berry Punch had dragged her out to the bar and come back home with her that first time. One year since...
"Berry..." Colgate had been lost counting and recounting the days since she and Berry had gotten together, and not noticed that the inebriated mare had made it all the way up, and even pushed aside more loose boards (Colgate could've sworn there had only been one...) to get through. Colgate heard shuffling, but no response. Swallowing hard, Colgate glanced at the rope ladder. Well, it had held Berry's weight after all.
Colgate took the steps slowly, barely able to wedge her hooves between the rungs. She distracted herself with the memories that came welling up so readily. It had taken some doing, figuring out how to get up to the loft as little fillies. But when you had as much time as the two of them found themselves with... Colgate smiled, remembering just how many of Berry's crazy schemes had ended with the both of them in detention (it was all of them). There was the great Repeatable Homework scheme, and the Sally Sunflowers Revenge caper, and of course who could forget the Day of Peanut Butter Everything. Being the teacher's daughter hadn't afforded Berry a hint of leniency either, and enough afternoons had been spent alone in this room that they had decided to make it their own. A little bit of earth pony ingenuity and filly unicorn magic, and the abandoned loft to the schoolhouse had become "Berry and Colgate's Secret Club", where they could wile away the afternoons doodling, reading, and plotting their next big school-livening scheme.
All that ended when Colgate's family moved to Canterlot, though. Come to think of it, Colgate had broken the news to her best friend here in the schoolhouse. It had been where they had said goodbye, promising they'd see each other again... and they did. Colgate had never liked Canterlot. There was a strange kind of ambient racism; nopony said it, but there was always that underlying sentiment of 'thank Celestia we live in Canterlot and not some place with earth ponies' that Colgate had never appreciated. She'd trade away her horn any day, especially if it meant she'd get a liver like Berry's (there was something to said for being a cheap drunk though). She had always wanted to come back, and truth be told, she had never really forgotten Berry, or her little sister Cheerilee. So when she was all grown up, on her own and with enough bits to her name, she came back... and found her childhood friend in tatters.
So maybe part of why she was with Berry because she felt she owed the mare. Shortly after she left, Berry's mother had died, shocking her girls since she had so carefully hidden the disease eating away at her heart. Their father hadn't been able to take it, and... Cheerilee had gotten out okay, but only because Berry had worked so hard to pick up the slack of both her parents, one dead and the other drowning himself in liquor. People looked at a wrecked drunk who didn't have the will to get herself clean, but how easy was it to sober up when whiskey was all your father offered you for dinner when you were little? They saw a wreck, not knowing that it had been everypony that left her - Colgate, her mother, her father, her foal's father - that had wrecked her. People wondered why her kid hadn't been taken away - and that was because, drunk or not, Berry would never do anything to harm little Ruby, and had more years of practice being a mother than any mare her age had right to.
Colgate thought she understood, understood why they were here, and why now. Berry knew about Colgates powers (or problems, as she put them) and didn't really ever seem to care. But she also knew time was legitimately important to Colgate. The counting could soothe her fears as much as incite them. She knew how special this little anniversary would be. Still, Colgate was a little surprised as her head poked into the loft to find Berry all set up with a picnic blanket, basket, and bottle of champagne. She was really going all out. There was a filled glass in Berry's hoof, the pink mare staring hard at it.
"I promised m'self I'd only have a little, y'know, put shome backbone in me. Haff a bottle later, and... n-no, this un's yours..." Berry put the glass down, hoof shaking. Her eyes didn't leave the glass.
"Berry..." Colgate heaved herself up. She had never seen Berry try this hard at... anything. Oh, she had talked about getting dry before, but it was always tomorrow. Deep down, Colgate was pretty sure it was her fault. Truth was, she needed the drink just as much as Berry did.
Looking around, Colgate noticed something odd as she approached.
"There's only one glass." she said. Berry nodded.
"Thought it'd shtop me an' all. I'm such a screw-"
"Hush." Colgate replied, having reached Berry and now placing a hoof over the mare's cheek. "A screw-up couldn't have got all this set up." She sat down beside Berry. The pink mare shook her head.
"Cheerilee helped me get it all up."
"But it was your idea, wasn't it?"
"Well, y-yeah." Berry admitted. "I wanted, I was thinking 'bout, how... well, you keep putting up wi' me. Drag me home at night an' make sure I get into bed. 'bout how you act like y' really care, an'.... an' like I really matter."
"Berry, you... you matter."
"Yeah, I know, I know. Fer somethin'. But even if yer just here 'cause we used to be friends, that... that's enough." Berry closed her eyes. "I think."
"That's not why I'm here, Berry." Colgate replied. Berry just shook her head, so Colgate placed a hoof on the mare's shoulder.
"I mean it."
"Yeah. Yer here because if you're drunk you don't get the whole death thing going on."
"If that was true, why'd I need you." Colgate replied, wrapping her foreleg around Berry's shoulders. "Come on, you didn't bring me here to say this, did you?"
"N-no." Berry admitted. "But... I, I ain't gonna ask until I know." she opened her eyes. "Colgate, d'we, d'we got a future?"
The question made Colgate still inside. She was almost afraid to look, but that part of her that wouldn't turn off, that part of her that watched the sand tick by... began to count ahead. Seconds, minutes, three hours passed before they would leave the schoolhouse. Colgate could see them trade a smile, and she reached over to brush Berry's mane. Two days passed, and she saw herself in Berry's living room, the widest smile she had seen anywhere on her own face as she hugged an enthusiastic Ruby tight. A year later, and Ruby was hopping up and down on Berry's bed, trying to wake... trying to wake the both of them.
Colgate held Berry tight a moment, searching the past. Truth was, all they seemed to do was go out and drink. But it wasn't like either of them drank with anypony else. Berry would get herself in to various antics and Colgate... Colgate would tag along, just like she always had. Angry bartenders replaced angry schoolteachers, but otherwise it was almost the same. When they didn't go drinking, Colgate found herself at home, by herself... thing was, Berry knew when she was going to die. In a drunken fit one night after they had gotten kicked out Colgate had yelled it at her. The next night... they went out drinking. Nothing could shake this mare's loyalty. Not to her family, and that family included - could include...
"I'm in love with you." Colgate said softly. She said those words, and as Berry looked up at her, her heart skipped a beat. A single beat, and... the rhythm broke. The counting stopped, for now at least.
"And you know what?" Colgate asked as Berry Punch moved, wrapping her arms around her lover. "Yes."
"We've got all the time in the world."

Several songs on Bloom are some of Beach House's catchiest works ever. Critics and longtime fans alike have embraced those aforementioned tracks, "Myth" and "Lazuli." Another notable, yet-unreleased highlight is "The Hours," a track that soars on the interplay between Legrand's pulsing organ chords and Scally's patient, minimal slide guitar. "That song to me is almost a saga," she says. "It has a really wild, imaginative force to it. I mean, they all do. But I really feel it takes you someplace, and the end has always given me shivers."
The album concludes with the six-and-half-minute "Irene," an ecstatic track full of tremolo guitar, droning synths, and smoldering grooves that build toward an entrancing finale. "That's a very special moment for us," Legrand confides. "We had it written and everything. But it was more intense than we had ever really intended. It's something that's never happened on an album before... It was just very special for Daniel — our drummer — and Alex and me, playing together all at once. That's a good example of magic in the recording studio."

If Legrand has any trepidation about taking the stage at the Fillmore ahead of her album's official release, she doesn't show it. "I'm very excited to be down there. And I don't know what the walk-up versus online ticketing is like," she laughs. "But maybe we'll just be playing to you. And it will be awesome."
