Unboxing the Microsoft Surface With Windows RT
Unboxing the Microsoft Surface With Windows RT: Touch Cover and Type Cover Compared The Touch Cover keyboard uses a completely flat keyboard design, with "keys" that don't move when pressed. The Type Cover, on the other hand, provides moving keys, for a more familiar typing feel. It's also sturdier, and seems like it would be better suited to on the go productivity.

Cloudy water
I have a 35 gal. tank, with 7 small gold fish, I waited 2 days to add the fish and I also added bottled bacteria,
Ok The problem is my water always looks cloudy, But when I take some of the water out of the tank, into a clear glass it looks crystal clear
Can anyone tell me why my water in the tank looks so cloudy
I would guess the lighting in the aquarium is a standard aquarium bulb and the color enhanceing feature lets you see more "clearly". What additive did you use? Some additives cloud water. New tanks also go through a cloudy period when the nitrogen cycle starts. This is normal, not to worry. Only concern is too many fish too soon. 3- 2" goldies would have been better and no reason to add more as they would have grown into the 35gallon tank. 7 is "ok" for now but as they grow you may want to divde them into seperate tanks or get a larger tank. I am assumeing they are 1-2" now.
Thanks for your quick response,I was thinking maybe it was the light also but then I realized that it was cloudy even when the light is off.So it must be the nitrogen cycle, Does this usually take long to fix itself my tank has been set up for 10 days now, And it is really starting to make me crazy, I had a 5 gallon for years and never did I have any problems.
Thanks again
This is common for new tanks and clears itself. "Usually". Fish load is a factor. Goldies excrete alot of waste. Daily 10% water changes will help. A test set for pH,Ammonia and Nitrite is a good idea for cycleing. I wouldn't rely on the petstore for testing. If it continues after a month try a canister filter. The H.O.T Magnum by Marineland is a good one. It is on sale now at www.Drsfostersmith.com now for about $50. Well worth it. You can also get some D.E. powder and add it on the outside od the micron cartridge and let it run overnite. Your water will be crystal. DO NOT DO that before it is cycleing though.
I just did a testing on my tank and found the ammonia levels slightly elevated as well as elevated ph (@8.4 range--our city water sucks). I treated the water for both according to directions on the packaging for both treatments last night and now this morning it cloudy as well. I also have a lot of air bubbles gathering at the top of the water. Is this normal?
Kat- Is your tap water 8.4 or does it rise after being added to the aquarium. If it does then it could be some decor or gravel. Seashells, and ceramic decorations will raise pH. Certain gravel can raise pH, unfortunatly even some that state it will not alterpH. Estee's is an example. Some rocks can raise pH. Also if you have any CO2 in the tap water and you have heavy aeration (airstones,bubble wands. etc,)it will release the CO2 and raise pH. Now that contradicts what I am about to say about the bubbles on the surface. If I recall anew set up will get slightly foamy bubbles. It could also be protein in the water. Usually a little surface agitation will help keep it clear. I also have high pH tap. I dont reccomend additives like pH down. It is a constant battle. 8.2 is fine for most tropicals and is ideal with African rift lake cichlids, brackish water and saltwater fish. The best way to lower pH is CO2 injection. If you keep live plants they thrive with CO2.
I agree about trying to "fix" the ph with something like ph down. Then when you do water changes it's like you're back to square one trying to get it back to your ph goal. I find it's easier to just keep fish that are more adaptable to the ph you get out of your tap. And many fish are pretty flexible.

We had grouper and redfish. Both were excellent. Well presented. Also had dessert, crime brûlée and beignets. All excellent
SOuthern Food in Birmingham! Food was AWESOME and wait staff was very attentive. Had the fried chicken and it was divine.
nice environment, very good low country food offered at the restaurant. Only been here once, but will return in the future.
Dyron's Low County is one of my favorites in Birmingham! Atmosphere is awesome and inviting. Quality of food is exceptional.
We had a family celebration recently at Dyron's Lowcountry. It was exceptional!! The food, the atmosphere, the wait staff. I highly recommend this restaurant for any and all occasions!! Can't wait to go back. The owners/chef's are wonderful!!!!
Atmosphere is nice. We were seated promptly upon our arrival since we had a reservation. The service was not that great - our waiter checked on us minimally although we never had to ask for anything. I ordered the grouper over quinoa. The fish was super-salty and the quinoa was so dry I couldn't eat it. The wine was great...
Recently had brunch ,and was suprised at the fresh grouper.The shrimp and grits was very good as were the baked oysters.Mimosas were excellent.This would be a good stop in Mountain Brook.
New ideas and new presentations of classical low country foods.Small portions of flavorful foods as an appetizer or a generous entree of your southern delight will satisfy the hunger of the soul.No attitudes but meet your neighbors or the hungry soul seeking a fun,festive and relaxed destination for great food!
The pictures of the food on the web {to me did not look that good} but food in person looked and taste wonderful. All the side dishes and desert were a little pricey. had to ask for bread and drink refiils
This is the first time at this restaurant. It was a little hard to find from someone out of town. I thought I was lost in a residential area, but the GPS found Oak Street near the Country Club.
My friend and I met for a 50 year reunion at dinner. It was generally noisy for intimate conversation, but the...

Suggestions please! Vanity top came today - hate it!
I have been trying to finish up my guest bath for some time now. A while back I had posted for help in deciding on paint vs. stain for my vanity. I choose to go with stain. I think it turned out great and I'm very happy with how it looks with the other colors/elements.
I had always been leaning towards Carara for the counters because I thought it was classic and altho' the room has lots of tans, there is also some gray in the penny rounds.
I'd gone to the slab yard and met with the fabricator and picked a reminant. It was mainly white and I loved it.
When he came to install it I was shocked that there was such heavy gray veining in it as I do NOT recall that at all. I was not there when it was paid for and did not take a picture of the piece - my bad!
I really REALLY do not like it and think it looks horrible in the room.
The fabricator said its the one I picked but if I really didn't like it he would fabricate another peice at no charge - but I would have to pay (again) for the material.
I am now looking for suggestions on something more subtle. I do not care for granite. I was thinking of a white Caesartone - Blizzard maybe, or staying with Carara if I/we can find one that is softer/more subtle. My only other option is to install this and just add lots of gray accents.
Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks Meek! I had considered calcatta for the same reasons you mentioned. I will reconsider that. I still would go with another Cararra if I can find one that is softer - which was the goal all along - soft! That's why I am so sure I did not pick this one. Ugh! Thanks!
What kind of faucet have you chosen and what kind of mirror/lighting will you have over the sink?
It's possible that once you add all the other elements in, you will not notice the movement in the stone nearly as much. I happen to like the movement - it's not too much for you space. It still feels fairly subtle. Personally, if it were my bath, I wouldn't replace it.
I have had the same problem with the marble , even some of the Calcutta or statuetary marble have a lot of grey veining . However the Carrara has the grey in this like splashing pattern . I personally don't like it either . My bath demo is tomorrow and I haven't settled on the marble yet . You need to probably look at Calcutta and choose the piece that you want and make them mark with a marker the exact piece of the slab from which he will fabricate your vanity top . Make sure to take a picture of it this time . Good luck
Pip - I've chosen a chrome faucet - the Moen Kingsley to match the tub/shower fixtures. Attached is a better photo of the vanity and light. Still on the hunt for the mirror. Thank you for your comments. Yes, it's possible once those are in, along with the sink, that the movement will be less noticable. It just seems so distracting and "in your face" in comparison to the other softer elements.
sloyd - They have already taken it back to the shop. It had a chip and one of the edges had a very obvious seam when it should have been a mitered edge. I have the photo for reference and every time I look at it I am more convinced that its not the piece I had selected.
Annemouse - Thank you for the comments.
I actually like it, a lot. Once you have the sink bowl (white?) installed along with the chrome faucet, it's going to look really sleek & sophisticated. And a lot calmer, I think. Right now, the contrast with the plywood looks ugly....Just try to imagine white where the plywood is now along with the chrome faucet pulling it all together.
Give it a few days if you can. Sometimes when something looks different than I expected, I hate it at first. After a few days, I realize it's fine. If you leave it alone for a few days, then look again, you might be OK. I think it looks OK. On the other hand, if you still hate it, just get what you really want, which is marble with less veining.
ci_lantro - Thanks. Maybe I will try to photo shop a white sink bowl. I am having a hard time visualizing it because it seems so "loud" right now.
benlinus - Thanks for your comments. I really like my shower subway tiles and penny rounds and didn't want the counter to be in competition or overshadow, but rather compliment.
ChristaM - Thank you for your comments. They have already taken the counter back (it had a chip and the seam on the edge needs to be fixed should I decide to keep it) so all I have for reference is the photo.
Wondering if anyone would have chosen a different material altogether from the get-go, and if so, what would it have been (that would look good with the other existing elements)?
Once you get your sink and fixtures in it will pull together. It will compliment your shower tile. Love your penny rounds in the niche.
i'm not a big carrara fan, but i definitely prefer your top to your friend's.... you describe your friend's as 'soft'... i see it more as 'muddy'.... i don't think i would change it out (unless the 'chip' and seam weren't repaired to my satisfaction!!)
Thanks all for your responses. From the sounds of it the majority of you think I am off my rocker! :) I'm not sure they can fix the seam or chip so I may be picking another piece regardless.
Busybee3 - Thanks for your perspective. I do see what you mean about the other piece looking muddy.
Pip - If you are still reading this thread, I was looking at some of your pics and noticed you used Caesarstone Organic White in your master. Wondering what you think of something like that in this bathroom? I do want to go with something white (vs. something like crema marfil) to balance out all the other white in the bathroom. So whether it's marble or another material I am thinking white would look best.
i agree with nosoccermom. i think the marble piece you got is cool while your other colors in the penny tile and walls feel warmer to me. have you considered limestone, or another type of marble like crema marfil? i think a nice caesarstone type would also work.
The comments show how everyone's taste is different! If you don't like it, you don't like it... no matter what anyone else thinks. Trying to convince yourself it will be OK could result in living with something you hate and regret for years. Don't do that to yourself!
By what you've written I think you'd be happy with a white Ceasarstone or similar.
(PS - I don't like that piece either)
nosoccermom - Thank you. I am heading in that direction!
michoumonster - The tile on my floor is very similar in color to crema marfil, as are my walls, and I wanted something white to balance out all the white of my subway tile. Crema marfil is a beautiful stone. Had I done a different direction with my tile and paint, that would be a great choice. Thank you for the suggestion.
lillo - If I could be so lucky! I am in So Cal ... more specifically Orange County. That stone would be perfect. I hope you will post pictures of your project as it progresses!
mmcf - Thank you for your comments. You are totally right!
The fabricator said he has a reminant of "white" cararra ... not sure if that's really what it's called, or if he is just trying to tell me it's more white than gray. He said he take a picture of it and if I think I might like it I can meet him on Saturday at the slab place. I'd still like to see if I can find a Calacatta reminant.
I'll keep you posted! Thanks all!
blackchamois: I am in So Cal also and I'm looking for a good fabricator. How did you find yours and are you happy? If so, will you please post his contact information. My floor is similar to your and I will tackle my bathroom next. I'm excited to see your reveal pictures. Good Luck!
I agree with those who say it is a beautiful stone, but also agree with those who say that there is a color issue -- too cool, vs. your other elements. If you are committed to your decor, you might want to get a marble with a soft beige veining; those are readily available.
We have a similar issue right now. We need to use one small piece of marble (or something else) for a knee wall in our white bathroom, and we don't want it to be a focus of attention or stand out from the white tile. We looked at carrera and are afraid that it will stand out too much between the strong gray veining and the cool/grayish white color. (It really contasts with the white tile sample.) We also looked at a plain engineered material that matches the tile color, but it looks very modern and engineered (that is, a tad plasticky compared to the porcelain tile and tub). Not to hijack this thread (it relates somewhat to the original poster's issue) but if anyone has a suggestion re an inconspicuous surface material for an old-fashioned-looking white bath, please share!

One of the most alluring and fascinating molecules in the world of science and medicine is vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which was originally discovered as the anti pernicious anemia factor and whose enigmatic complex structure is matched only by the beguiling chemistry that it mediates. The biosynthesis of this essential nutrient is intricate, involved and, remarkably, confined to certain members of the prokaryotic world, seemingly never have to have made the eukaryotic transition. In humans, the vitamin is required in trace amounts (approximately 1 µg/day) to assist the actions of only two enzymes, methionine synthase and (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase; yet commercially more than 10 t of B12 are produced each year from a number of bacterial species. The rich scientific history of vitamin B12 research, its biological functions and the pathways employed by bacteria for its de novo synthesis are described. Current strategies for the improvement of vitamin B12 production using modern biotechnological techniques are outlined.

I have never felt so disgusted with the way I was treated at this resort. First of all there Is the train that everyone complains about , but the ear plugs really do block out that bull crap noise. I have never been told that house keeping only visits once a week even when I am spending 7 + nights at their hotel. After 3 long nights of having the sign on my door asking them to please clean my room I had to call down to the lobby on more then 1 occasion and beg them to please send someone up. They replied to me "sorry the maids do not come every day only Tuesdays" I explained I needed my room cleaned as I am used to living in much more hygienic conditions because usually they come once a day. They said they will make an EXCEPTION even though it's not a cleaning day. I left my room and went out for lunch, I expect a clean room upon my return. I have never been so shocked with the state they left my room in. The sheets were not changed, the bathroom was not cleaned and I had no fresh towels or toilet paper. I reused the same towel for the pool for 7 long days which isn't a big deal since I'm not picky but when I realized after I had no toilet paper I thought to myself what did housekeeping accomplish ? To my knowledge all they did was make the bed from dirty sheets that I had been sleeping in for quite sometime. This was not normal to me as I travel a lot and when the housekeeping comes in everyday I have new towels and toilet paper because this is standard procedure. I called the main lobby and specifically asked them to clean my room only to realize she came in and pulled the covers on the bed and left. On the pull out bed there was a white sheet folded thinking that it was an extra sheet. As I came to my bed after an exhausting day, I realized that it wasn't an extra sheet that I was provided, but was in fact the sheet that the maid was too lazy to put on the bed. We did not ask for much but for them it was too much, they didn't even have their maids trained to make a bed. Normally, there is a manager that comes and checks to see if the maid did her job correctly. Clearly nobody checked or someone did check and did not realize what a horrible job she had done. I have never seen this in my life after staying at over hundreds of hotels and resorts in my life. I have never left a review on trip advisor but I felt the need to let the new potential customers know that this place isn't a 4.6 on 5 at all. Do not let yourself be fooled and read the negative reviews before booking. I made the mistake of just looking at the rating and not reading into other peoples bad experiences with this place. The second problem was about the train, my father could not sleep because of it. After three nights he went to the lobby and they told him you have to wait to speak with the manager. They told him to come down at 10am which he did only to find out that the manager still hasn't arrived. They then told him to come back at 11. We had plans and wanted to switch our room before leaving for the day. Finally he went down and spoke with the manager and all he said was sorry we cannot do anything for you, that is the room you have paid for, that is the room you are stuck in for another five nights. My father always reserves online with Wyndham across North America and he has never been treated so badly seeing as he is a loyal customer. We ended up finishing our stay there with extreme dissapointment and we can now say that we will never reserve with any other Wyndham hotel regardless of the location.

Apple strikes a new chord in the future of music
SAN FRANCISCO/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - More than a decade ago, the late Steve Jobs pulled one of his trademark reality distorting maneuvers, browbeating music label executives into selling songs on Apple Inc's then-nascent iTunes digital store for a mere 99 cents apiece.
Now, the tables have turned and it's Apple that is being forced into a deal that is far from a sure-fire winner.
The iPod and iPhone maker is expected to announce as early as this week a $3.2 billion agreement to buy Beats Electronics, the music streaming service and headphone maker founded by legendary music producer Jimmy Iovine and rapper Dr Dre, according to three sources familiar with Apple's thinking.
The deal would come after Pandora Media Inc and Spotify have already claimed the vanguard of the music streaming revolution, while Apple's riposte - the eight-month-old iTunes Radio - is stumbling.
"Apple is about two years late, behind Spotify," said David Pakman, a digital music investor with Venrock Capital and a co-creator of Apple's Music Group. "They need a streaming offering."
With digital music downloads in decline, record labels have put pressure on Apple to get its act together on streaming, according to two of the three sources. The record labels hope Apple can turn Beats Music into a strong competitor with Spotify and other streaming services, the sources said.
"The labels wanted Apple to build a premium service," said one of the sources, who like the others were not authorized to speak about the matter on the record. "They wanted ... to make money through the stream."
In recent months, the major labels had grown dissatisfied with the performance of iTunes Radio, the source said. Streaming subscriptions are now the fastest-growing revenue source for the music industry, but Apple has not made a dent.
Streaming subscriptions jumped 51 percent in 2013 to $1.1 billion, out of a $15 billion total spent on music, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Meanwhile, digital downloads slipped 2.1 percent.
Per-user spending is higher with streaming services than for music downloads. A good customer spends $25 to $35 a year on music purchases, but a subscriber spends $9 or more a month - or more than $100 a year, according to one source.
Labels earn royalties of a fraction of a cent for every stream, which the source said works out to a higher revenue per user than pure digital sales.
Apple, Beats and record labels Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment declined to comment for this story. A spokeswoman for Universal Music Group did not respond to requests for comment.
In buying Beats, Apple would get an up-and-coming music streaming service, a well-connected team of industry executives, and high-margin hardware. But the high price tag would represent a departure for Apple after two decades of acquisitions mainly in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Some Wall Street analysts have termed Apple's plan purchase of Beats "puzzling." Despite the rapid growth of streaming, it remains a small slice of the overall music market. If the labels do not agree to lower royalties rates, then, like Pandora or Spotify, Apple may struggle to make its streaming profitable. And Beats is several years behind Pandora and Spotify, which have 99 million active users combined.
Still, the fact that the record labels are getting behind Apple marks a thawing in what had been at times an openly adversarial relationship, industry sources said. The "a la carte" model that iTunes introduced in 2001 had slashed revenue for the labels as it no longer required customers to buy whole albums.
Now, the music industry believes streaming is the way of the future, though its rise has not been smooth. Industry sources say licensing negotiations with the likes of Spotify and Pandora come up every 12 to 15 months and can be difficult.
It is unclear what terms an Apple-owned Beats might command. Apple does have a big bargaining chip in iTunes, which has 800 million members.
"ITunes is the number one for digital downloads," said Daniel Weisman, a manager at Roc Nation who represents bands. "If iTunes can flip the switch on their user base to become streaming subscribers, that will be a huge win for everyone."
A source at a music publisher said the labels like Beats because it was "created from within the music industry." Getting Iovine on board will give Apple huge leverage across the negotiating table as streaming develops. He will likely leave Interscope records and join Apple, according to two sources.
Apple is seldom a first mover into markets, preferring to bide its time and monitor early entrants. The company had been watching Beats Music's take-up rates since its January launch and was impressed when the service signed up some 1,000 customers a day in the initial weeks, one of the sources familiar with Apple's thinking said.
"Google, YouTube, Spotify and others are working on ways to stream music," said Andrew Mains, former vice president of digital at Interscope Records, who worked closely with Iovine and Apple's iTunes team. "If Apple can control the future of music distribution by buying Beats, they will retain control of the devices."

Before you launch your business, make sure you aren't bound by a nondisclosure agreement that could derail your idea, experts recommend. Also, think twice before asking investors to sign a nondisclosure agreement. "It is my experience that too many startups, especially first-timers, are overly paranoid and too quick to pull out an NDA," said Bob Cooper, chief marketing officer at Zonoff. "This turns off savvy investors."

A store manager called police after an unruly female customer attempted to shock him with a stun gun around 12:30 p.m. Oct. 22.
According to Greenfield police:
The manager at Factory Card & Party Outlet, 5058 S. 74th St., told police he confronted a female customer because he believed she was shoplifting. When he asked to see her purse the woman refused and became loud and disorderly.
The manager then asked the woman to leave the store. As he began following her to make sure she left the store, the woman took out an electric weapon - possibly a stun gun - and sparked it at the manager. The suspect then exited the store and got into a red or maroon four-door Buick driven by an unknown female. The vehicle was last seen driving southbound on 74th Street toward Southridge Mall.
The suspect is described as a heavy-set female and the driver of the vehicle is described as a shorter female, approximately 5-feet, 3-inches tall and carrying a silver purse.
There was not enough evidence to prove a retail theft occurred during the incident. Police are investigating the weapons complaint.

Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam have a lot of money -- and they aren't afraid to use it for political purposes.
During the rough-and-tumble primary season, the couple donated $20 million to Winning Our Future, a super PAC with ties to former House speaker Newt Gingrich.
The donations, which were used to finance attack ads against Mitt Romney, are largely credited with keeping Gingrich in the race while his campaign struggled to raise money.
A $5 million donation was later returned by the super PAC after Gingrich abandoned his bid.
Adelson plans to spend even more to support Republican efforts this fall. He has already given $10 million to Restore Our Future, a pro-Romney super PAC.
Adelson, the current CEO of Las Vegas Sands, isn't likely to stop there. His total donations this cycle might top $100 million, with some of that going to groups that are not required to disclose their donors.
No matter the final number, Adelson can afford it. The tycoon's fortune is estimated to be in the $25 billion range.

Money isn't really an issue for me. I just wanted a simple point,pull trigger,bang! I found it and it works. I had heard before about the hollow points not feeding so I stay away from them. Even have the 9mm carbine from Hi-Point and it does its job too. Like it was said before " everyone has their own opinions"
Love the carbine!!! It is such a fun gun to shoot. I too wish they had bigger mags.
I have a 9mm hi point . Dont let gun snobs bring you down, it shoots every time, really reliable . I have shot 300 rounds with out cleaning it and yet no jams.. I think its time to clean it again.. Lol some improvements you can do is polish the feeding ramp so u will never get jams. Sand out the ramp with 600 grid sand paper the use a dremol tool to polish it make it look all nice and shiny mirror finish, will shoot every time. U can also get a diffrent trigger spring to make the trigger pull lighter. But i like my heavy trigger pull. Cant beat the price for $150 gun

Welcome aboard, climb in and ride along with me and experience this incident through my eyes. You can never predict when the strange and unusual occur. Neither private person nor police officers are insulated from the truly bizarre and strange. It just springs on you like rain showers on a perfectly beautiful day of sunshine. It was English born writer Charles Dickens who introduced the world to the strange oddity of spontaneous combustion in a novel he wrote in 1852, calling it the "Bleak House," but I had never experienced anything like it ever before. Truth be told, I do not think I am that good at reading old-time-classical books. I used to read many comic books and was always fascinated by superpowers but I still enjoyed reading novels of literary significance and than those of make believe. I read books from authors such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Leon Uris, Alvin Toffler, and others but never old classics such as Charles Dickens or Nathan Hawthorne.
House fires can be the worst emergency calls in my opinion because you just never know what to expect until you get there especially if they are occupied. One evening, hours after the sun settled on this old city; the dispatchers receive a call that would be one of the strangest sights I would ever experience. It all began with a call to "911" with a little boy reporting his father was on fire. When the words blast over onboard radios numbers of on-duty patrol cars leave their assigned calls moving full steam ahead to the location before even the fire fighters are shaken from sleep and on the move.
Heavy lumbering fire trucks moaning under the strain of thousands of pounds of water and equipment come to life. You could hear the huge Detroit diesels scream in protest as their big engines groan and scream, their sirens wailing from more than one direction as the unwieldy fire trucks whine and pull away from their parking slots. Though firefighters may disagree, it is with indisputable certainty police officers are the preeminent first responders to arrive at any fire scene most of the time first. If they do, however, they understand they may be forced to take action without the benefit of training and safety protection.
I know this from experience and it nearly cost me my life. Fear of death is the most deep-seated and universal of all fears; entering burning homes or dealing with fires scarred the daylights out of me, always did. Nevertheless, I have much respect and admiration for the firefighters and maintained long friendships with these people even in retirement.
Nonetheless, most will react over the need of their own personal safety to save another if the urgency of the matter demands. It was exactly what I thinking as I rolling toward the address. It was on Father's Day a few years prior to this particular call when I came upon a home fully engulfed in flames, I thought to myselffully braced for the worst. Memories like that somehow never really leave you, it just lies dormant someplace.
I was thinking … My old lieutenant must have been following me around that day because he pulled up before I could radio for the fire department. I called for fire and the old lieutenant and I made a decision right there to enter the home alone and without benefit fire retardant clothes and respirators. It was the day before he was set to retire and I told him, "If you go in there Lieutenant, I'm going with you," and the decision was made and we entered the burning home. We found a resident in the basement and I carried him over my back with my old Lieutenant pushing me and brought him out to safety. I awoke a short time later vomiting with an oxygen mask and firefighters all around.
That seemed like a long time ago, and I was getting close to the house where the man is on fire expecting no less than another house in full flames.
Anyways back to the story, I was only the third police car to arrive on scene that night fully expecting to see the dark sky fully lit with a house on fire. It is said, a city man knows his frontyard, but a police officer knows the neighborhood. I was familiar with the neighborhood and the tinderbox homes in that subdivision were small and old, maybe constructed of wood nearly 100 years ago. Aged wood with probably very little code updates can make for an intense and sometimes deadly house fire.
By the time I got there, a few police cars were already there waiting. I noticed two police units parked in haphazard fashion blocking the street and one of the officers were standing on the cement steps outside the front door as I pulled up. Keys jingling and my door slams shut as I make my way off the street. I rubbed my chin with the back of my hand, "No fire, no smoke?" I asked myself. There were no flames, no odors of smoke that I could detect. I made my way off the street and stormed across the grass to the front steps. There were some more police cars arriving and a fire truck rounding the corner down the block, I knew this because I could hear the diesel engines and oscillating or strobe lights flashing in the sky before you actually see them.
A brisk cool breeze stirred up as I stepped up the tiny wood porch. I still felt uneasy about something but I couldn't quite put my finger just yet. It was a sagging porch, not a lot of room for more than two or three adults. I greeted two police officers just as a second squad member storms outside. I paused, and dryly asked, "How's it going in there guys … What do you have?" They glanced at me, and then turned their attention back over their shoulder, muttering something unintelligible as their eyes darting back and forth. Their heads down low they nervously brush past me in a hurry to get off the porch heading for their cars and decide to stay there. They make themselves useful and move their cars off the street to allow the fire trucks and rescue vehicles clear access to the house. Nothing rude and nasty or hostile in their response but something inside clearly bothered them.
I could read the weary look on his face and it stayed with me. I continued to the front door standing wide open and peered inside the completely lit house. The doorway led straight into the living room. Facing me to the front was a little kitchen. I stepped inside the front door and paused when I noticed no fire or anyone else there to greet me. In fact, there was no excitement, no screaming, no "I'm sorry officer for calling but everything is fine," no activity just silence... Just complete silence.
It appeared to be a small sparsely furnished house. Well this is strange I thought to myself. Door wide open, no fire, nobody home, two of our officers practically run me over to get out of the house without returning. The air seemed to crackle with tension. Somebody called about a fire or believed it be on fire but where's the fire? "Who called?" I waved off the questions and continued on with my business.
Still standing just inside the doorway, I scanned the clean but sparsely furnished living room and quickly probing the dim confines of the house. My eyes drifted to the ceiling for some reason and there above the walls ringing the entire room was a black sooty ring outline where the walls join the ceiling. I have never seen anything like it before in my whole career. In addition to the somewhat strange anomaly, I get another jolt. My thoughts drift back to that old familiar feeling, a childhood memory. I was just eleven years when I confronted a home intruder with a jumbo size squirt bottle of Ivory liquid one night while mom and dad were away working. Sure I was sacred, but even as a little boy it was about survival and I was protecting my sisters and brothers who were all upstairs asleep. Quickly and quietly, I removed the cheap chain and swung opened the door; he stepped in front of me, his body posture stiffened aggressively. We locked eyes. Giving him no time to react, no time to flee I raised my hands outstretched raising up a King size plastic squirt bottle of Ivory liquid detergent and squirted aiming for his eyes. It left the man temporarily blinded before fleeing and although he was never caught or identified and never returned either.
Back in moment at this house I am thinking … Some call it sixth sense others call it intuition. I reason that it is a survival skill learned at a very early age and honed over years. Some may refer to it as skill, others call it intuition but whatever name you give it; you know when somebody is watching you. I feel that familiar pang in my stomach. I pulled myself to wakefulness. Still struggling to get a grasp overall, I felt somebody looking at me and I turned to my left only to find a little black haired boy standing there at the foot of the old stairway stroking a black kitten. He was standing there at the foot of the stairway steps … "Where did you come from?" I was thinking.
I could see his ashen face, with his piercing big blue eyes and jet-black hair standing at the foot of the stairway steps, motionless and silent just staring. This little boy sent chills down my spine as it reminded me of the little character in the "Omen" movie. He was standing there with a blank look just starring and didn't say a word, I thought he was in shock, but quite frankly I don't remember what happened to him or if he was even real. I said, "Hello, your Mom or Dad around?" No response just a dead stare. He just stood there with a far off stare not a word from his mouth. Our eyes fused on each other and my own big brown eyes never blinked. After a few more moments of me asking questions and getting no response I became annoyed, thinking "what the hell is going on here?" We stared at each other until I looked away. I had the feeling that he was not ever going to talk to me, and I do not even know if he was real because there was no mention of a little boy in that house afterward.
I returned to surveying the scene where I first noticed an odd black ring around the entire perimeter of the room. I picked up a physical trail easily enough when I caught a drift of unpleasantness to my nose and puffed my cheeks and blew a long breath quietly in dismay. It was the kind of odor always left me heaving inside my stomach and always ended badly, I remembered.
At that time, I was a senior officer, seasoned by years of experience Christian by scars and broken bones, testament of the years and the strangeness was just part of the job. Finding a source of this oddity was right up my league and like a riddle. The problem was I felt like I was just spinning my wheels with nobody else to witness this bizarre play unfolding inside but me. Maybe that's why the other two officers fled in the first place, wait until we get back to the stationhouse I was thinking …
My ears were straining for the slightest sound as I stepped carefully through the living room and into the next room. Except for a gentle creak under feet, it was deathly still and quiet as I crept from room to room checking for anyone. I was following the origin of strangeness. Like an unseen index finger beckoning me further, pointing to the small kitchen in the next room. When I reached the doorway kitchen threshold I glanced down at the floor covered in cracked and worn linoleum. Inside the modest kitchen, my eyes scanned doorways as I cautiously paused shortly. All sense was heightened as I glanced around the room sniffing and surveying the scene. It was faint, but the smells became a bit more pronounced. I could hear old wood planks underneath the linoleum floor strain under my weight and cried as I walked around. I was puzzled for a moment, as I tried to take in the problem here.
As I paused in the kitchen, I noticed a kettle of stew simmered under low heat on an ultra-compact stove. It was a tiny old kitchen with a stew or something on the stove. It looked appetizing but I had no thoughts of tasting the soup. Although the place was old, it had a friendly feeling and in some strange way even tidy and quaint. To my right, a medium light cheap laminated table, the kind you would find at a garage sale for five dollars, with four matching chairs. It was a thrifty but inexpensive piece of furniture. One chair pulled back out of place almost blocking the path in the tiny kitchen. Then below the table and on the floor, I noticed the charcoal remains of two legs from the knees up. My eyes took everything in as if I was in a surreal world.
I stood back scooting the chair out. There were no feet that I could see only blue jeans roughly covering his thighs legs above the knees to the waist but everything else was burnt black as charcoal. I shook my head, stood up and twisted my neck to ease my knotted muscles. I puffed my cheeks and blew a long breath quietly in dismay.
A wave of pungent burnt flesh rose from the remains causing my stomach to wretch. His face was completely black as one would expect an over done steak on the outdoor grill, facing up bearing teeth with a hideous grin. I immediately felt the sweat beading up on my forehead. The putrid stench seared my nostrils confirmed what my eyes did not want to see. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the flashing lights dancing outside bouncing off walls and houses. Within minutes, all eyes were fixed on me. Several police officers and firefighters stormed the house ready to slay a dragon joined me. All dressed in battle gear, helmets, axes, respirators attired in their heavy coats and boots looking as puzzled as I when they noticed there were no dragons, and no fires. One overweight rookie firefighter in over-sized pants and coat picking up the rear stumbled in carrying a little box fan. Another walks up, his eyes glassy and red from a lack of sleep and foul breath says "What happened?" There was an awkward pause, then I saved them some time and directed them to the kitchen pointing to the floor where this burnt grotesque figure rests. I left them alone to grasp the scene while I made my way to the bedroom. One firefighter shrugged his shoulders and raised his hands, as if to say very well then. Once again, I called out to the little boy but was never ever able to locate him.
To the right of stove, I seen an open bedroom. Inside of the bedroom it looked like what you would expect a modest single adult male bedroom to look like consisting of an old TV, a single worn mattress on the floor and a beer bottle used as an ashtray. Nothing I observed led me to believe any indication of narcotic or alcohol abuse during my security sweep. So I rejoined a crowd of firefighters gathered around the body whispering among themselves some start out the doors to advise others to stand down and prepare to return back to their station house. It doesn't take them long to depart and some of the detectives are arriving and a few enter and begin checking over what I'm sure is one of the strangest things they would experience. I recall speaking with a salesperson for a Memorial park where I recently purchased two private lots and when the subject turned to cremations I posed the question to him.
As a long time employee of the cemetery he worked his way up through several positions before becoming one of their top salespersons. He told me they use heated furnaces in excess of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit for their crematoriums and then, as he says "it doesn't completely burn all of the bones," so they have to pulverize the remaining ashes into powder for processing. In my college studies some of the textbooks claimed crematoriums furnace heat was 900 degrees Fahrenheit. So, I stood there listening to the detectives talking with each other questioning how that could have occurred, even trying out lame possibilities before discounting each one of them. In the end however, the issue of the how much heat is necessary for properly cremating a human being and arguing over whether its 900 or 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit is a moot point. I would search my memory hard for some point of reference, something that to grasp ahold of and balance reality with but I could not. The only other time I ever seen a human burned to such degree was during a metro jet airliner plane crash years prior to this day. When you consider all possibilities I mean, that dry old tinderbox of a house still standing and the man burned to charcoal on an old linoleum floor underneath an old wooden table that was never so much as scorched, is simply just amazing. Nobody knows who or here the little boy came from or how it was that he was there ...

School Briefs – Holman Middle School
Sept. 7 was the first day on the job for Holman Middle School. Hundreds of kids piled in as the anxiety-ridden first day began. However, the weeks have run on, and people have started to create friendships, even though we are all from different schools. The schools that filtered into Holman (Hungary Creek Middle, Short Pump Middle, and several elementary schools) have all gotten along and grown together. As Dr. Fellows has said, "The tradition of excellence begins now."
I think it certainly has begun, from the LEED construction of our school that is environmentally friendly, to the kids' favorite, a slushie machine at lunch. Another thing that makes our new school stand out is the Promethean boards that have been placed in every classroom. These boards make it so kids can write on the board while the screen is projecting a worksheet from the teachers' computer, and linking to devices such as document cameras and interactive student devices. Also the boards can perform simple tasks, like playing movies. The fall athletics have also been a smashing hit, with the soccer, football, and tennis teams all earning winning records so far. Many new clubs have been introduced such as the Rubik's Cube Club, Peer Helpers Club, and Teaching Tolerance Club.
However, at the end of the day, besides the academics and extra activities, we all are beginning to be one big happy family. We all hated to leave behind an old school, but it was certainly for the best as "The Tradition of Excellence" has certainly begun.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

What protocol definition do you recommend? I evaluated Google's protocol buffers, but it does not allow me to control the placement of fields in the packet being built. I assume the same is true for Thrift. My requirements are:
- specify the location of fields in the packet
- allow for bit fields
- conditionals: a flag (bit field) = true means that data can appear at a later location in the packet
- ability to define a packet structure by referring to another packet definition
Thank you.
