O'Neal said his final goodbyes to the Charlie's Angels star at her Los Angeles memorial service in June (09), after the actress lost her long battle with anal cancer.
The actor admits he took comfort in the arms of a "beautiful blonde woman" who came up and embraced him after the service - and he didn't realise it was his own daughter Tatum.
He tells Vanity Fair magazine, "(I'm) a hopeless father. I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me - Tatum!' I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter. It's so sick.
Tatum adds, "That's our relationship in a nutshell. You make of it what you will. It had been a few years since we'd seen each other, and he was always a ladies' man, a bon vivant.".

"I'm sure it was great"
I bought The Hobbit to listen to on a 13-hour flight. However, the British narrator was so difficult to understand over the jet noise that I had to stop shortly after the story began. Not the writer's fault--I've read a lot of Tolkien's work--but it simply took too much effort to sort out what was being said. I haven't gotten back to it.
"Very good!"
The Hobbit is right at the top of audiobooks I have read/listened to.
Our favorite character had to be Bilbo Baggins. One because we like saying his name but also because he had changed so through out the book. A change I believe was definitely a benefit.
I haven't listend to any other of Rob Inglis but this book was outstanding. The differences in the voices really kept my son interested.
Reading and listening goes straight into your medulla oblongota and you learn through thought memory. It's like being programmed into intelligence. If you read this, you just learned that the best gifts are free. Or One Credit... and that's kinda free.
"A precious....my precious, prequel to LOTR"
A must read/hear if you're debating on whether or not to listen and diving back into Middle Earth. If you've only seen the movies (not counting The Hobbit movie), then there is no risk.
Fantasy story telling at its deliberate best. Slow, marching, your presence has to be earned and Tolkien rewards the reader with a complete stand alone story.
The narrator was sic!! And if my teen age daughter has it right, that's a good thing! Even his singing some of the elvish and dwarvish songs was well done.
5 stars across the board! Enjoy it with a pipe of Old Tobey!
"For Those Who Love a Good Story."
Tolkien starts a story that holds you through to the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It would be hard to find a better story teller than Tolkien.
Rob Inglis' performance is worthy of the book, and brings the excellent story through to the listener.
YES. This is just a great book. Super intro for LOR.
Bilbo's ability to go with the flow and still be able to make a decision himself.
"The only narrator to do this book justice"
The Hobbit and the Lord of the Ring should only be listened to when narrated Rob Inglis.
"Narration Annoying"
It's The Hobbit and everyone has read and loves the book, myself included.
I am disappointed with the poor narration editing. It turned me off and I didn't finish the book.
"Finally I get what I was looking for"
Very nicely read, it does take you into the story. I am really enjoying it.
His voice match the story perfectly. Very nicely done, different tones of voices for each character but all very interesting. Even singing the dwarf melodies, it is very enjoyable.
I have not finish yet so I will say.
"Not Lord of the Rings"
Was fun, but wasn't The Lord of the Rings. It felt like a warmup to the trilogy. After listening to it I feel like I need to listen to the trilogy to see if the two books line up since a few things were said/happened that I don't remember from fitting the books I read many many years ago.
t p prince esquire international-- Switzerland / USA --Author publisher of adult and children's literature.
"a tough book to narate-tough to sing like an Elf!"
Tolkien's tale it very tough to narate. I have read it three times and this is the first time I listened to it. No one person can sing like an Elf and reading these songs was not fun and listening to them was even less enjoyaable I thought. All in all, I thought Rob Inglis did a good job on a tough piece of work to deliver. Just ask Peter Jackson!

Peering Through The Glass Ceiling
Readers of 8asians may not realize this, but writing for this blog doesn't pay the rent, so most of the writers here have day jobs. I'm no exception. My day job is in marketing for a high technology company in Silicon Valley. In this slowing economy that we're in, I'm fairly lucky in that I work for a company that's still making money, and in a field that's still growing. My company also happens to be fairly diverse in their hiring practices, as my coworkers span every racial and ethnic group. The company has also grown quite a bit since I started almost two years ago, and I've never really felt there was a glass ceiling at this company until today. (Glass ceilings for Asians has been a recent topic this month with the appointment of Jim Yong Kim as the President of Dartmouth, and L. Ling-Chi Wang's comment that he could count the number of Asian presidents of universities in the U.S. on his hand.)
My company held a meeting of upper management over these last two days. We have close to 1400 employees, and a select group of 65 top level executives ranging from C-level, president, vice presidents and directors met to discuss corporate strategy for the next year. As I sat in the meeting today it slowly dawned on me, that out of the 65 assembled, the minority count included only one Latino in the group (and I didn't think he really counted since he was the VP of Sales for Latin America), and four Asians. The other three Asians all worked in engineering. For a company as diverse as mine, I found it strange I was the only Asian not in engineering, and with my ranking as a director, I was the lowest titled management at the assembly.
8asians has of course covered this topic of Asians and the glass ceiling in a previous posting, noting that Asians hold only 12 percent of managerial positions, but are 30% of the population in Silicon Valley. This study looked at all managerial positions, and if you compare it with my company, you'd find it's probably accurate, as there are a fair number of Asian managers in my company, just none at the director level and above, outside of engineering (myself excepted). It makes me wonder, if you took out mid-level managers, what the percentage of Asians you'd find would be at the executive level at companies in Silicon Valley.
The lack of minorities at my company was just never obvious to me before, because all the prior managerial meetings included mid-level managers and above. We've gotten too large to include mid-level managers in strategy sessions, and I was just surprised to realize the glass ceiling seems to exist in my own backyard.

Welcome to the stark reality of Silicon Valley…
http://www.pikindaguy.com Tien Nguyen
Personality is truly what elevates one in the corporate world–if you're loud, brash, and always keep your mouth moving, people are going to be more likely to view you as smart and know what you're doing–as opposed to say, actually being smart and knowing what you're doing. It explains why women are underrepresented in major executive roles as well..
The optimist in me says it has less to do with a "glass ceiling" or perception that Asians can't lead, but that your stereotypical Asian–nerdy, shy, keeps to himself–don't fit the mold of what corporate America wants in its leaders.
I'd say that an outgoing, out-spoken charismatic Asian has as much of a chance at advancing as quickly as a white person does–if anything, the idea of a subconscious affirmative action policy in the company may even help the Asian advance quicker, as every firm loves to give off the appearance of diversity..
In Silicon Valley, I would say the number of asian executives is quite high, just maybe not in proportion with the rest of middle management and rank and file. Especially if you look at the Web 2.0 companies. Do you count Indians as asians? If so, there are many asian executives. Possibly because they all founded the companies that they are executives at, but still..
I have to agree with Tien Nguyen.
So I wouldn't say that there is active discrimination, but I would rather say that Asian Americans' personalities tend to be less assertive.
http://gayparenthood.blogspot.com Tim
@Gameover: Yes, I count Indians. In fact the other 3 Asians other than me on the executive team (the ones in engineering) at my company are all Indians. I'm the only non-Indian Asian on the team. I've had a really hard time getting to be an executive in my career. At first, I was told I didn't have enough "gray hairs" (by a well-meaning boss trying to explain why I didn't get a position), but as you know Asians look much younger than they are, and the people getting the jobs were younger than I was. I'm certainly not the stereotype, which is probably why I've been able to get as far as I have, but even now, I've heard from my current boss about people asking why I'm in the position I'm in, and aren't I too young to be doing what I'm doing (and I'm over 40, older than most of the other management team).
http://www.8asians.com John
@Tim – I've always wondered if greying my hair would improve my chances of looking older, more experienced, and wiser – i.e. "the look" for upper management.
Study: Americans Expect Business Leaders to Be White
http://www.8asians.com/author/ancientone95131/ Jeff
"Welcome to the stark reality of Silicon Valley…"
This is way too dramatic and misses important context. The way I see it, after working a long (long) time in Silicon Valley, things are SO much better than before. In the old days, there was a kind of caste system. You'd have white management, Chinese and Indian Engineers, white, Vietnamese and Filipino technicians, and Filipino, Vietnamese, and Hispanic assemblers. Going to work definitely felt like some strange colonial experience! I remember talking to an HR person during that time about the biggest source of racial conflict, and she said it with white technicians who were working for Asian engineers. They were often older and knew more than some young Asian engineer who was just starting, but they made less and had to work for that engineer, resulting in much resentment – a problem almost exactly opposite of the problem you are talking about.
Eventually, most of manufacturing moved out of Silicon Valley, which broke up part of the hierarchy. At that point in time, my HR contacts told me that their big racial issue concerned Asian Engineers who felt that they couldn't advance up the management hierarchy would leave and start up their own companies. I knew many Asian-American engineers who felt like that felt that they were relegated to only being technical coolies and struck out on their own. One issue that occurred in that situation was when they did start up companies, the venture capitalists would not let the company be run by an Asian. I recall that there was even a venture capital firm that specialized in reaching out to Asian-American founded companies (forget the name – anyone?)
What about the glass ceiling? A study published in 2000 called "Silicon Valley's New Immigrant Enterpreneurs" by AnnaLee Saxenian (http://www.ccis-ucsd.org/PUBLICATIONS/wrkg15.PDF) has some interesting insights. She says that although Asian-Americans point to the "glass ceiling" as a race based barriers, income data doesn't support it – there is no statistical difference in the incomes of Chinese or Indian managers and that of white managers. Tellingly, she said that those surveyed attributed differences in management participation less to "racial prejudice and stereotypes" than to what was perceived as an old boy network. I think that that perception is pretty accurate. Many of the white folks in Tim's management probably were part of an "old boy" network.
Much time has passed. At the company where I work, there have been Asians who have headed up marketing and major product divisions. I see Asians all over the management hierarchy, and my own boss is Asian. Much of this occurred as employees of all kinds of ethnicities at the company were encouraged to network and get mentors. More and more Asian-Americans are venture capitalists. Some of my Asian engineer friends who left are now the CEOs or high in the management hierarchies of their respective companies. There are now some well-established Asian old boy networks, and I am sure that non-Asians and Asian-Americans people not of those ethnicity would have trouble cracking those. The Asian-American CEOs and VP level management in Silicon valley that I know definitely have their own networks of Asian-Americans that they will tap for management positions.
The meaning of "not enough gray hair"? I'd interpret that as, "you aren't in our OLD boy network." I'd think that that to get further, you'd have to crack into the old boy network that is probably there – play golf with those folks, schmooze, etc. – yucky stuff that I'd don't like to do, which is probably why I am still a technical coolie!
http://gayparenthood.blogspot.com Tim
@Jeff: I don't disagree with you. It's definitely a lot better than it was when I started here in Silicon Valley in 1990, but some things haven't changed. I'll agree I find a lot of Asian execs in startups, but you just don't find that many in public companies. I've worked for a few startups with Asian execs, but in many cases they were pushed out as soon as the company took on funding, etc. So while there's definitely opportunity to create your own company and become an exec, there's definitely not as much opportunity in established companies. In my own company there's been super fast growth and we're public, so it's not really the old boy network. Over half of the exec team that met was new within the last 2 years, and you can't hire that many execs just from a pool of people that know each other. Quite a few were hired using head hunters, but still there's few Asians in the mix.
Pingback: 8Asians.com » Where Are the Asian CEOs?()
What percentage of the engineers at your company are Asian? Do you know any of the stats for HP, Apple, Yahoo, etc.? I know that Cupertino, Ca is 51% Asian according to the 2000 census, so the % of workers at HP and Apple, which are located there, should be high.
@Jeff: Nearly all of the Asian CEO's of tech companys founded those same companies, like Jerry Yang (formerly of Yahoo), Jen-Hsun Huang (Nvidia) and Min Kao (Garmin). The last two are especially successful companies, so it can't be that Asians aren't good leaders–there couldn't be something more daunting, from a leadership point of view, than starting your own tech company from scratch to a workforce of a few hundred or thousand. It's more like Asians won't rise in companies where whites are in charge.
What Saxenian said in 2000 is still true: venture capitalists usually demand whites to lead the companies that Asians started. Still, a few Asians manage to stay in control even after going through VC funding.
Hi, I don't think it's a matter of being of the Asian ethnicity per se more so than the physical attribute of masculinity. It's really sad to realize that it exists to this day, knowing Silicon Valley is predominantly Asian (see that's why i think minorities outnumbering whites in 2020ish is irrelevant). That gray hair comment reminds me of black women's frequent experience in job interviews that the employer commented they just "didn't smile enough" that caused their position.
For you, Tim, I think it's more of a perceived age prejudice than anything else. We also need to consider the fact that most Asian men are very shy in social functions (yes I'm speaking for myself lol), what more in representing a corp.
I think there's more to it than a glass ceiling based on race. It may be that, as "high tech" as Silicon Valley companies present themselves, the people at the top are not the "technies" (engineers, technicians, etc.). It may just so happens that Asians/Asian Americans are more likely to be the engineers rather than PR, HR, or people with business degrees. I believe your statistics reflect more on our nation/culture's preference for Harvard Business grad's snazzy presentation than for a state college educated programmer's software (which actually makes the profits).

I decided to setup my tripod and try to capture the viewing angle differences of these two displays while I still had both devices in my possession. Both devices were at 100% brightness, and I let the camera choose the shutter speed (aperture priority - Nikon D200). Some of the shutter speeds selected made the overall image darker, but it still gives a good idea of the color and contrast differences between the two displays (in addition to viewing angle differences). My goal wasn't to compare brightness - both devices are more or less on par in that area.
If anyone was on the fence regarding the two devices, maybe these images will offer better insight into one of the most important aspects of a tablet - the display. The price gap is big enough, and the screen technology is different enough (all in favor of the Transformer), that someone being on the fence regarding these two devices is hard for me to imagine. You never know though.
You can view the flickr stream here. (25 total images)
The flickr stream description mentions this - but I'll mention it here too: The Xoom is on the LEFT or the TOP, and the Transformer is on the RIGHT or the BOTTOM in the pictures.
I hope someone finds these pictures interesting.
I have attached one of them here.

I have been getting samples of this stuff every place I can mostly from my friends who work at sephora. this is as great mask it tightens my pores and helps with oil and black heads right away I use it once a week. a little goes a long way I would never pay for this though but if you can get samples I would for sure get some. It is amazing but not HG for me.

This mask is very good. It tingles / burns a little... This may bother those with sensitive faces. It's dark grey at first when you apply it and dries to a light grey. You can see some leaves in the mask when you apply it, which surprised me. After it completely dries, (and the masks has pulled all the oil/ dirt from you face), splash your face with water and start lightly exfoliating your face and then rinse. I noticed an immediate difference to my pores and face. This product made my pores smaller and face firmer/lifted. This is definitely a treat because a tiny bottle 0.5 oz from sephora was 20$. Use it sparingly.

This is a special treat...it stings like crazy but really makes my skin feel clean and soft. It's far too expensive though, and I would not buy it.

This is an amazing product. It is on the expensive side. But you get instant results from this mask. You can see it pulling the oil out of your face while the mask is on. Then when I take it off my face feels so much better. The next morning my acne had reduced in size and my pores are smaller. It also helps with oil control especially on my nose. I love this product.

I received a sample of this from one of the SAs at Sephora, when it first came out. She was raving about how great the product was and that I needed to give it a try. Since I love facial masque treatments I was game to give it a go and am happy I sampled before purchasing.
There is an ingredient in this product, not sure which one, that did not agree with my skin and burned like fire from the moment I applied. I didn't think anything of it at first since I was told that a little tingle was normal, but this went from tingle to uncomfortable pretty darn fast. I immediately rinsed the masque off and my face was beet red and stayed that way for a couple of days. I know everyone is different and I may be the only person that experiences this type of reaction but I would recommend caution before purchasing this product, it's pretty pricey for a mud masque treatment so go to Sephora and request a sample to try it out first.

If you suffer from blackheads like myself this is the product for you!!! I have an oily t-zone with normal cheeks which feel quiet dehydrated in the winter time. This product really dried out my cheeks they felt quiet tight after I removed the mask - I would never use it on my cheeks again but that's just my skin type - however it worked excellently on my nose & chin (without sounding disgusting) it brought a number of blackheads to the surface & they literally just popped out!!!!! I've been a beauty therapist for 4 years & I've never experienced a product like this! Very pricey but a little goes a long way. If you want rid of blackheads (comedones) this mask is for you!!!! I would only use this twice a month.

This is a wonderful mask, but a tad on the pricey side. It does have an exfoliate quality to it. I apply a thin layer, let dry 10 minutes, the with wet hands gently buff/wash the mask off. Maybe too harsh for those with delicate skin. If I use this mask I do not use a scrub in conjunction.
Recommended for those with light acne or with "time of the month" breakouts.

After hearing so much about GlamGlow in recent months I decided I must try it. However, I refuse to pay the astronomical price they are asking. On their website I came across the sample kit for $11.99 USD, it contains 2 single use packets of the Tinglexfoliate mask (black packaging), the Super Clearing mask (white packaging), and the eye treatment. So far I have only used the Tinglexfoliate mask, I was able to get 2 full applications from each foil pack. Now, I know this stuff is a mud mask, but it seriously felt like I was just smearing actual mud all over my face, complete with twigs, leaves, sticks, and rocks. It has a very gritty texture and giant chunks of tea leaves, and I do mean chunks, some of the tea leaves were as large as my thumb nail! They also made it hard to spread a nice even layer of the mask over my face. I finally got the mask evenly applied, and it burned. Burned I tell you! Definitely not a tingle. The burning subsided pretty quickly as the mask dried, so I just went with it. Now, while the mask was drying, I was imagining how amazing my skin would look. I mean this stuff is a miracle in a jar, right? Smoother, softer, brighter, tighter skin? I should look like I'm 20 again, right? Boy, was I disappointed. My skin was smoother, but that was about the only noticeable difference. I still had some dry patches on my forehead, I was not glowing. After using the mask 4 times over a 2 week period, my skin does seem a bit clearer, but I have not seen the results I was hoping for, or that GlamGlow claims. I think the same results could be seen with regular usage of just about any clay/mud mask. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing this mask. Now, if they reduced the price to say $20 I might buy it, but the $69 retail price is absolutely ridiculous for what it is.

I've been looking for a deep-cleansing face mask that would help minimise my breakouts and smooth out my congested skin. This has had good reviews online so I thought I'd give it a whirl.
The price is pretty ludicrous and because I wasn't sure if it would work I got the tiny jar, which was $20 Canadian and lasted for only 3 ¼ applications (I only had enough for my nose and chin for the last application). I applied a thin layer in accordance with the online instructions - in hindsight I would have rather used more and not had enough for the ¼ face application, but never mind. I don't mind the smell at all but it stings a bit going on and is full of annoying tea leaves that cannot possibly serve any purpose (there aren't enough of them) other than to maybe provide an excuse for the high price. Ah well. I wouldn't have minded any of this if it had a miraculous or even pretty good impact on my skin.
I left it on for 10 – 20 minutes and then washed off with warm water and a cloth. Afterwards my skin certainly felt softer, but this effect was gone by the next day and I honestly didn't notice any difference in breakouts, black heads or bumpiness of skin. Even the reported 'glow' was nowhere to be seen (although to be fair my skin is always pretty glowy thanks to the epic amounts of oil it produces).
All in all, this is definitely not a good 'deep cleansing' mask and I will not be repurchasing.

Great product even on my dry skin. It brightened my face and got rid of the dead skin. Just think it's too expensive in comparison to the results. I mean, $70 a jar? I'm almost sure the packaging probably costs them more than the product itself. Overall, good product but way too pricey!

This Week's Winsome Wonders
I've been out of town for the past week, but I took some photos the morning I left. I've included a few my husband took while he was minding the daylilies.
KENTUCKY LUCKY is a wonderful late Rice polychrome. It is definitely a better performer here than the late Reckamp polychromes I have, so I'm thinking of moving a couple of those out of the garden.
KENTUCKY LUCKY clump
FOREVER REDEEMED with petals and sepals recurved. The ffo happened after a cool night and the petals and sepals did not recurve until late afternoon.
DANCE AGAIN is a welcome face in the late garden.
TEDDY BEAR'S PICNIC with STROLLING IN THE ROSES on the side.
SUMMERTIME REVIVAL is another nice late bloomer
DIVAS IN DIAMONDS ffo - I think this is going to become my favorite pink UF.
RECKLESS GIRLS is a very nice purple watermarked UF. It will be replacing Cool Twister in the garden.
MISS DEMEANOR is still looking for a piece of ground. It made it through the winter in a pot without losing any fans.
Late near white seedling out of Dust Be Diamonds and Tuxedo Junction.
Seedling Palace Garden Beauty X Karelia - The petal color is a very light peach that looks whiter in the morning light.
Nice job keeping up with the daylily photos while you were gone! That clump shot of Mr. Lucky is amazing. I forget how much I like polychromes until I see good photos of them, or until the few I have show their faces. Mine are all yellow, so I like the look of the lighter Mr. Lucky.
Summertime Revival is one I don't remember seeing before. The veining is terrific and it's the perfect shade of pink.
I'm being seduced by a Teddy Bear. Have you ever grown Trahlyta to compare it with? The colors looks similar, but that's from my memory. How's the overall growth of TBP?...Your picture of Kentucky Lucky is beautiful and I like the soft colors of Miss Deameanor....Maryl
Chris, Kay, and Maryl - Kentucky Lucky really loves the heat we are having recently. The hotter the temps, the more obvious the pink and peach colors are with the yellow.
Maryl - I have grown Trahlyta and gave it away last year. I rarely got the grayed lavender look in this climate. Teddy Bear's Picnic is a bigger plant with better foliage and bud count. It starts out every day with the grayed or browned purple color. As the day wears on and temps increase, it becomes more and more purple. Here's what it looks like by evening.
Oh Kentucky Lucky is very pretty!
I had the same idea of replacing some with better similar looking cultivars, but it isn't working as well so far, still holding on to the old ones, so hard to part :)
Love Summertime Revival too.
Forever Redeemed looks so better recurved right? Mine had an FFO today but the bloom was stuck between the buds..
So many pretties, but I love Judy Davisson's cultivars, and particularly Divas in Diamonds. I have been afraid our climate is too warm for it to do well, if it is a hard dormant, I'll have to contact her about it. Also love Miss Demeanor and Teddy Bear's Picnic. Mister Lucky is a lovely polychrome. Avedon
Avedon - It's funny how many people called KL Mister Lucky. The bud count and branching is very nice on Kentucky Lucky, although last year was even better. That one and Rice's Best for Last are my best performing late bloomers.
Nat - I do love the recurved blooms on Forever Redeemed! I know what you mean about not being able to part with some of your older daylilies. They're kind of like old friends.
I find many of the Thoroughbred daylilies are wonderful performers here. I believe I have KENTUCKY LUCKY too. See what happens when you have too many....you can't remember if you grow something or not. LOL.
I also thought your Teddy Bear Picnic dl looked like Trahlyta.
Linda and twix - Thanks for the seedling comments!
Eden - Kentucky Lucky is a stunner and so well budded. It's not registered as a rebloomer, but last year several fans did rebloom.
Jean - Summertime Revival is a very pretty late. I need to get it out of the pot so it will perform better.

Death Searcher Part4 FinaleThere was no talking in the group as they moved quickly through the streets of the ruined city. There was actually one more number in their ranks than there should have been; Lichmaster Koraliam had wanted a demonstration of the spell that had freed Ariet. And though he was already starting to feel drained, Yerunan had obliged, if only not to throw any sort of suspicion on himself."So the corruption as you put it is just superficial?" Lichmaster Koraliam had asked."You can't disguise a soul."The frown on the lichmaster's face said he clearly wanted to argue that point a little, but he refrained.After Yerunan had passed the soul off to be necromated by someone else Ariet had grabbed him on the pretense of showing him something. Actually she just wanted to take him somewhere so that he could rest without having to explain himself to any of the other necroplics. He was grateful. Maybe grateful is too strong a word. He d
Chronowalker-3LOOKING FOR CHAPTER 2? IT'S HERE: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/50520676/Chapter 3:Ter'Nik was walking to the cafeteria again. He was hungry and there was nothing at the barracks. He saw it was looking like it was about closed, but walked over and got a few things to take back. As he was, he saw a familiar figure lying on one of the couches by the stairs to the monorail. He walked over and knelt down. It was Niterrel. "Hey," he said. "What're you doing here?"She moaned lightly and opened an eye, "I have a roommate.""Oh?""Want to take a guess who?"He was tired and shook his head."Well, let's just say she's a mutual acquaintance. One that I particularly dislike."His eyes widened a little. "The Siren?" Ter'Nik shook his head. "No... You're kidding.""I wish I were. I thought it was okay when I went back to the room and she was in bed alone." She scrunched her eyes shut as if trying to block something out, "Boy was I wrong.""She had someone over?!""No... O
Death Searcher Part3The night passed uneventfully with the two of them taking refuge in some sort of burnt out vehicle. Or at least, that was all Yerunan could figure out that it was. Ariet called it a 'tank', but unfortunately that meant nothing to him. It was, however, a place to stay, and for that he was grateful. Or at least he was happy that he wasn't spending the night outside. There was the stench of something in the air; it was a something he couldn't identify, but it churned his stomach and made him thankful that he lived in a world that was at least marginally sane when compared to this one.Ariet, for her part, was doing her best not to antagonize him any more than she already had. The heavy silence this created was in itself annoying; Yerunan could tell she was just dying to talk to him about something, or more likely, several somethings. And actually, it would probably be important in the morning. Right no
Death Searcher Part2After what seemed like forever, Yerunan stopped in the middle of a path, signaling to Ariet that she should do the same."Why are we stopping here?" she asked, in a hushed whisper, wary that there might be another corrupted spirit headed their way."The trail stops here." He replied. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate, looking at other nearby paths to see if any of the spirits had jumped. He opened his eyes, "This is the end of it.""How can you be sure?" Ariet asked, "I remember vaguely changing paths before you saved me, are you sure that the trail doesn't just continue somewhere else?""I'm positive," He replied. "Though you probably can't see it, there is an open door to the living world here, and it reeks of corruption.""Still, he could be sending them through from multiple points, you know.""So he could, but there is another reason that I know this is the place," He paused, "I can smell the death magic from the shell you inha

NH seeks to turn back clock on anti-bullying law
CONCORD, N.H. When Leila Pouliot's 6-year-old son, Benjamin, was bullied on the school bus last fall, school officials told her that because he wasn't on school grounds, "there wasn't a whole lot they could do about it."
By January, things had changed. The principal sat down with the child and explained how he would be disciplined if the behavior continued, said Pouliot, who now runs a parents-against-bullying blog.
The boy apologized, and both children, still riding the bus, are getting along, Pouliot said - a scenario that wouldn't have come about if some New Hampshire legislators get their way.
Only months after New Hampshire's anti-bullying law was updated to extend schools' authority off campus, some legislators want to restrict the boundaries to school grounds - going against the grain not only of their own state, but also others that punish bullies who disrupt other students' lives off campus or online. The Senate is taking up the issue Wednesday.
"I don't know what the Legislature is doing," Pouliot, of Gilford, told The Associated Press days after testifying on the issue before a Senate committee. "It's illogical at best."
New Hampshire amended its 10-year-old anti-bullying law last year for the electronic age, now that tools like Facebook and Twitter also present golden opportunities for belittling and bullying. The change also allowed districts to step in "if the conduct interferes with a pupil's educational opportunities or substantially disrupts the orderly operations of the school or school-sponsored activity or event."
Some legislators believe the revised law gives schools too much authority over children and want to remove the off-campus provision. They say once a child leaves school grounds, it's the parent's responsibility to combat bullying.
Brenda High, a Washington state resident who runs Bully Police USA, a website that tracks and grades legislation on bullying, agreed with Pouliot that New Hampshire's legislation appeared to be heading backward.
"That's crazy," she said.
Not to Ralph Boehm, a New Hampshire House Republican whose bill to remove the off-campus reference and make other changes passed the Republican-controlled chamber in March by a 248-96 vote.
"Bullying's bad; it's always existed, and nothing we do is going to stop it," said Boehm, a former Litchfield school board member who said he was bullied as a child in the 1960s.
"But the thing is, people do have freedom of speech and the freedom of speech can be mean," he said, so it's unconstitutional for school districts to punish children for what they say or do outside of school.
Nancy Willard, a Eugene, Ore., resident who runs the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use, providing help with youth risk online issues, noted that courts have given schools the reach to combat off-campus bullying.
"The consistent ruling of the courts in this area is that school officials clearly have the authority to respond to any situation - regardless of the geographic origin - if that is causing a substantial disruption at school or making it impossible for another student to receive an education," she said.

Mike Zimmer has reiterated the Minnesota Vikings' position that they aren't planning on trading Adrian Peterson.
Zimmer also clarified a comment he made to Pro Football Talk earlier in the offseason, saying, "I never once said I would accommodate him" by trading Peterson if that's what he really wanted.
"I'm not going to speculate on what he wants or doesn't want," Zimmer said. "Adrian's under contract for three more years with us and that's why you sign these contracts. That's why you get these big bonuses, you know?"
Peterson has three seasons remaining on the six-year, $96 million contract he signed in 2011.
"We have no plans to trade Adrian," said Zimmer.

The move would involve complex legal and financial steps and could set back the economy further, many say.
ICAP Plc, the world's largest inter-dealer broker (one that carries out transactions for financial institutions rather than private individuals), is now Testing Trades In Greek Drachma Against Dollar, Euro
ICAP Plc is preparing its electronic trading platforms for Greece's potential exit from the euro and a return to the drachma, senior executives at the inter-dealer broker said Sunday.
This post Greeks Turn to Gold on Bank Bail-in and Drachma Risks appeared first on Daily Reckoning.
By Steven Bavaria:One nice thing about free markets is that they have a way of forcing economic reality on people, whether they prefer to face it or not. That's why a return to the drachma would be good for Greece and its citizens, given their inability to face up to the hard choices that their past political and economic decisions have now presented them with.
LONDON (Reuters) - Banks are quietly readying themselves to start trading a new
LONDON (Reuters) - Banks are quietly readying themselves to start trading a new G
Its election time in Greece. I'll start out by saying that so far, the best piece of commentary I have seen was from a Bloomberg video "Here's What Happens If Greece Leaves the Euro." In just over a minute the video quickly surmises the pain that Greece will feel if it returns to the drachma. Its financial system will be paralyzed, inflation rises, and lots of unanswered questions will follow.
By Peter Boone and Simon Johnson
In every economic crisis there comes a moment of clarity. In Europe soon, millions of people will wake up to realize that the euro-as-we-know-it is gone. Economic chaos awaits them.
I've heard (non-serious) talk that Germany should leave the Eurozone instead of Greece. The Euro would then fall in value and all would be better, supposedly.
Talk of Euro abandonment would trigger an immediate run on Greek banks, sending the country into an even deeper hole. Who wants a Euro deposit to be converted into a drachma deposit?

As Bobbi Kristina Brown remains on life support after being found unresponsive in her bathtub on Jan. 31, some of her family members are planning to share their grief with TV audiences.
According to two family sources, some of her father Bobby Brown's siblings are in the earliest stages of shooting a reality show. The footage will include scenes from their daily life – and will also spotlight how the family copes as Bobbi Kristina remains in the hospital.
But not everyone is on board with the idea. "I hope it's not true," says Randy Kessler, an Atlanta-based attorney who represents Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend.
According to one family source, Bobby is "not happy" that his relatives are planning to do a reality show. Brown's lawyer tells TMZ that his client will not be participating.

Plus if you wanted to taste a rainbow, and managed to get to one, wouldn't you just follow it and find the gold - which may or may not be "gold" chocolate coins, and potentially find a leprechaun that is the mascot for a sugary, marshmallow laden cereal.

Physics Platformer Gish Goes Open Source 58
from the good-stuff dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
In further pre-empting of people who didn't RTFA, the game is already supported on PC, Mac, and Linux.
I don't mean to troll or anything like that (considering I think Gish is an awesome game and I've bought the Humble Indie Bundle) but... are there any indie games out there that were actually coded in a well-thought manner?
I mean, looking at the Gish source code, it's honestly a mess. You seem to ALWAYS find stuff such as magic numbers, hard-coded level information (ala, if (level == 15) do this different behavior). I've looked at the source for other games and they all seemed to share such "features".
Anyone knows if the non-indie titles also follow this pattern? Maybe it's just an industry thing.
Nothing in progression can rest on its original plan. We may as well think of rocking a grown man in the cradle of an infant. -- Edmund Burke
