Smashwords book reviews by Conrad Wong
His Name In Lights
on April 01, 2011
(no rating)
I've always enjoyed stories about human near-space colonization, so it comes as a breath of fresh air to have a new author writing in this setting! That said, I do wish the story were a bit longer, with more details on the setting. It's hard to imagine Daniel and his brother Oscar since there's little to no introductory description. I can piece it together from the narrative, but I hope that the author will give her stories more room to breath in the e-publication framework where there are no page constraints as there would be with magazines.
The Far Horizon
on April 01, 2011
A great coming-of-age story! There's not nearly enough hopeful forward-looking human-meets-aliens science fiction out there, so I was glad to see this on the store shelves (as it were). Some parts seem a little sketchy, and it seems implausible that terrorists would use publicly available videogames as instruction manuals - far more likely that they'd serve as indoctrination - but on the whole, I look forward to seeing more in this universe.
The Legend of the Morning Star
on May 24, 2011
(no rating)
A fairy tale with a twist. I look forward to reading the universe in which the stories are told.
A Touch of Night
on Sep. 01, 2011
A fun read, though one should expect things to be rather over the top as is common in Regencies. There is at least one were who transforms in public, yet no one seems to notice, so rigid are they in their expectations. Ah, Regency England, so blind and yet so amusing! It is somewhat irksome that the book hews so close to the original Pride and Prejudice, to the point of keeping the same names; I'd have liked to see the plot derail sooner and the characters take more stake in rebuilding things, but I enjoyed the read nevertheless! I'll be looking forward to more in the same vein!
The Naming of Kinzel
on Nov. 09, 2011
A delightful collection of stories! Kinzel is the 'Wise Fool' sort of character; commonly met with scorn and dismissal at first, he turns out to have been speaking more correctly than many at the end. Sadly the stories are a little too brief, otherwise they could build up more momentum.
For Want of a Nail
on Nov. 09, 2011
I'll have to look for more of the author's work, I enjoyed the depiction of the AI and her 'wrangler' but I felt the story was a little frustratingly brief so we didn't get to explore much of the universe! As a story, it works well, setting up a dilemma that seems simple at the outset, then grows more complex.
Cold Comfort
on Nov. 14, 2011
A little short but rich in details, the setting feels lived-in.
The Power of Preserving Pictures
on Nov. 14, 2011
A little too sparse, the premise is intriguing but the story doesn't really follow through. I would have liked to see more 'sensawunda'.
Quiet Magic
on Nov. 14, 2011
Delightful stories, these definitely do justice to their subjects, being of satisfactory length and concluding their individual plots, excepting that the second story, Master of the Winds, was a bit short.
Slow Honey
on Nov. 14, 2011
An interesting premise, a decent story, I would rate it as an appetizer rather than a full-course meal or even a substantial sandwich.
on Nov. 14, 2011
A good solid near-future story, this one has some meat to it!
The Dutiful Daughter
on Nov. 15, 2011
A flavorful, spooky story well worth the purchase!
Hell By Any Other Name
on Dec. 07, 2011
A very enjoyable detective story, enough meat to chew on and a setting that'd be worth revisiting.
on March 22, 2012
Less straight fantasy and more Regency, but you won't find vapid nobles exchanging empty witticisms here; the Lord Alchemist and the Herb-Witch of the title are both intelligent characters who value their independence and separate responsibilities and will not lightly abandon their loyalties. Beyond that, this story brings out its alchemy with vivid descriptions of taste and smell and consequences. It feels like an alternate world Renaissance science, not like an airy magic that perfectly serves the convenience of its purveyors, but a science that is still fringed with 'Here there be dragons'. The writing is crisp, and... hang on, I'll leave you with my favorite line of the book: "Analyzing the geometries of herb-witchery ingredients was like washing a cat. It looked simple, but sprouted extra legs when you weren't looking, and /wiggled/."
on March 24, 2012
This is a darker, more sensual book than the first book, Herb-Witch, so be forewarned! That said, it delivers excellently on all the promises of the first book. It isn't much of a spoiler to observe that the marriage between Iathor and Kessa does come into being, and it is not going to be your typical fairy-tale happily-ever-after marriage... In fact, Iathor's confusions are just beginning. There is prejudice against the 'barbarians', of which Kessa is a half-breed; there is hatred from a source Iathor would not have expected but Kessa knows too well; there is Kessa's own upbringing casting pebbles beneath her steps as they explore the murky waters of what it means to be married to one another, Lord Alchemist and herb-witch just one foot out of the gutters. These combine to keep the tension high, and me reading pages late into the night. Elizabeth McCoy's world-building shines again as she explores more consequences of a world where alchemy is the mainstay technology and its practitioners are groping through its dark mysteries. We see more about how immunity to mind-affecting potions can be a dual-edged sword, and how loyalty-creating potions can shape their civilization. Alchemy is never treated as a deus ex machina; it is a source of problems and tools that, used wisely, can help solve these problems... But wisdom must come from its users, so we are naturally introduced to malevolent users as well as benevolent. While this book forms a complete duology with the previous book, I do hope that there will be more Lord Alchemist and Kessa stories coming soon!
on April 19, 2012
An adventure to remind one of Cherryh's Pride of Chanur books! The narrator of the story is the titular 'Wahn', or leader, of Kintara Station, the port of call for the world that the cat-centaurs, call home. Kintarans are given to clannish rivalry; without one person wielding responsibility, they'll soon descend into chaos and bitter arguments over landing rights and station defense, especially given their racial tendencies to prefer "unique" solutions and shun "baby-sameness", or copying of others. Without a Wahn, they're sure to wind up fighting each other constantly! Of course it's never that simple, so enter Wahn Bentclaw, intent on seizing power. And his ally is Kaa-Sida, the deadliest pirate hunter around with a ship keen and powerful. Against such odds, how will our hero prevail? I love stories like this, set in the star-spanning future, a whirlwind of station politics and captains vying for control. Can intellect beat brawn and greed? Find out in this story!
Queen of Roses
on April 21, 2012
A marvelous page-turner of a story, set in a far-flung spacefaring future of which I'd definitely like to see more. Sarafina, an AI in indenture until she can pay off her creation-debt, is purchased by the owner of a luxury liner. Almost immediately her troubles start, from adjusting to a system ten times the size of her original, to managing the myriad problems a full load of humans can cause on a liner, each one demanding her personal attention... And as if that weren't enough, there are Strange Things going on, both from the passengers and the crew. Fortunately she has a little help... If she can sort out who's trustworthy from who's not. But ultimately this very intelligent, yet very mannered AI whose bearing will remind you of a stern librarian, must rely on her cleverness to survive, yet alone solve these riddles! Often funny, this novel is a 'comedy of manners' set aboard a star liner, focused largely on the interactions of people, not 'teching the tech', but there are plenty of serious moments as well, and the story winds up to a tense denouement where it seems as if Sarafina is doomed no matter which way she turns. Thrilling!
Snips and Snails
on May 08, 2012
A great peek into the lifecycle of aliens. E. McCoy's writing is as entertaining and lively as always, as she outlines how Mmsar biology affects their society, with parallels and tangents to our own. (this is a race of which the phrase 'rugrats' might be quite appropriate for their young, with all its negative connotations of feral behavior) I look forward to reading more of E. McCoy's stories involving Mmsars, now that we have a fresh perspective on them.

Gorgeous Gift Wrapping Ideas
Two fresh ideas for wrapping pretty holiday presents will impress everyone on your list.
By: Heather Thoming
Materials Needed:
- brown "craft" paper
- double-stick tape
- glue pen or hot glue gun
- wax paper or parchment paper
- scissors
- fabric remnant
- cotton string, ribbon or twine
- small key tag
- red ribbon and white lace
Cut Paper to Size and Tape
Stick with basic, neutral wrapping paper and dress up the package with fun design elements. The gifts in this project were wrapped with a basic brown paper using double stick tape.
Decorate with Accessories
Once the box is wrapped, the fun begins. Wrap a simple piece of fabric around the box and secure it with double sided tape, then wrapped cotton yarn around the package several times. Create pom-poms with the cotton yard and glue it to a stick with the glue pen.
Finish with a Tag
It's a simple yet stunning presentation. Add a basic key tag that you can find at any office supply store for the gift tag.
Fold Wax Paper to Make a Bow
Add some flair to a gift with a non-traditional wax paper bow. First, take four sheets of wax paper cut roughly into 12?12 squares. Layer on top of each other and then fold back and forth like a fan and then tie in the center with a bit of string or twine.
Cut Rounded Edges
Decide what size you want the bow to be and trim the ends accordingly. For this box the tips were rounded with scissors to create a flower-like appearance.
Fluff Your Flower Bow
Then, gently start to pull apart the different layers of the flower.

daltokhee, Oso Regiomontano, NIKONIANO, and 3 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Mate, as in the Argentinian beverage? I hate that stuff.
I am not sure, it looks like mate from the photo, although I had not noticed it in real life. I quite liked it... but then I loved Argentina.
Upon closer examination and enlargement of the photo, he is using a metal "bombilla" (mate-rietje) to sip from a typical mate container (as seen in this photo flickr.com/photos/74012382@N00/66199625). I was also surprised to find this greeting "Yerba Mate Holland wenst alle klanten een Gelukkig Kerstfeest en een Herbal Nieuw Jaar!," which I find very funny, being a Latin American. The chap in the photo is following this tip "U kunt het water bijvoorbeeld in een sfeervol theepotje warmhouden op een theelichtje of in een thermoskan," which he is carrying. Finally, Cubans cannot live without their beloved Materva, a yerba mate drink : www.flickr.com/photos/sophiesunset/508902209/
The things I learn from your photos!
Thank you Elián. I could not get the link to that photo to which you were referring with the Dutch writing. We were surprised to see that mate was also popular somewhere else... I think itw as Kosovo this last summer...
We will have to try Materva when we finally make it over to Cuba!
Alas, you can only get Materva today in the United States.

Beating the dead horse: counter-height breakfast bar overhangs
I know this issue has been discussed ad nauseum, but I have to ask again.
1. How deep is the overhang on your counter-height breakfast bar?
2. If you have barstools there, do you feel like your overhang allows enough room to scoot comfortably close to your plate without banging your feet and knees on the cabinet?
3. How tall are you?
4. Anything you'd do differently regarding your overhang/breakfast bar dimensions?
Raised eating counter on the island is 16" wide, almost 8 feet long.
Cantilevered over a 5" high back wall on the island, with 3 corbels to support it. Cambria quartz, 3 cm thick, simple rounded beveled edge.
Extends 10" out from the back wall of the island.
I'm 6'3", with long legs, and have no problem sitting at one of the 4 barstools and eating. In fact, I'm writing this on the laptop on the eating bar right now.
We also got simple backless stools custom made...welded steel frames, 2 1/2" thick cushions on top. Very modern, and they tuck neatly under the overhang.
OK, I don't have mine yet, but it will be 15". I have a friend with a 12" overhang (counter-height) and to sit comfortably at her counter to eat, I have to sit slightly sideways. I'm only 5'10", but I'm all legs (35" inseam!)... My DH is 6'5" and he doesn't sit at her counter at all b/c it's just too uncomfortable.
To be honest, if we had had the room I would have had an 18" overhang...but 15" was pushing it as it was.
1. Overhang is 14" and works wonderfully. No corbels, we have posts.
2. The seats of our chairs are 24" high (4" apron) and we are very comfortable. No knee or feet bumping.
3. 5'8" & 6'0". DH has long extremeties and loves sitting at the island.
4. No regrets, we didn't want to narrow our walkway so 14" was it. Of course now we see we could have shaved off a couple of inches of the walkway (it is exactly 42") and been fine, but it still works great for us.
As a bonus, one end of the island is open - table like - so if anyone is taller and happens to be uncomfortable at the 14" side they can always sit at the end.
18" overhang on each end of an 8'x4' island, metal slab support. Perfect room, but corbels protrude in the way of seating. Guests always hit their knees on the corbels. We are use to them and avoid hitting ourselves now.
My counter chairs have a ladder back. When we have guests over and set up a food buffet, we have to move the chairs. Stools would solve this problem, but I didn't want stools.
Ours is 11 or 12 inches. To be honest the kids are usually the ones who sit there but I occasionally sit there to read the paper etc. and it works fine for me, I am 5'10". If it was my only eating area I might want it deeper. We originally planned an 18" overhang but after sitting at a 12 " overhang at a showroom we decided 12" was enough for us.
I appreciate everyone's information. I found out that a friend has a 12" deep counter-height breakfast bar and I went over there to try it out. It worked just fine. However, I will be mindful of the corbel placement issue - hopefully we can have them arranged in such a way that it reduces the risk of knee-bumping.
UPDATE from Original Poster
A month has passed since I started this discussion about a breakfast bar overhang for my new construction home.
The kitchen cabinets and island have been built, installed, and painted. Tomorrow I have to give my final approval for the amount of overhang on my counter-height breakfast bar.
I knew that if the island had been built to the specs and placed at the correct spot in the kitchen, I should have room for 12" of overhang. The kitchen is open to the family room but separated by a very wide doorway. This doorway is 9" deep. Adding to the feeling of separation is the fact that the kitchen ceiling is 9 ft but the family room is vaulted to 14 ft. To further accentuate that separation, we plan to paint the kitchen golden yellow and the family room beige. Here are some photographs that might help you envision what I'm talking about. As you can see, the island overhang/breakfast bar will be on the family room side of the island. So when we eat at the bar, our backs will be to the family room.
According to my measurements made at the time the kitchen was being designed, a 12" overhang would mean the overhang would stop just at the kitchen edge of the 9" deep "doorway" that separates the kitchen from the family room.
But because I'm a "measure twice, cut once" kind of gal, I decided to go to the job site and make sure the island really was in the pre-defined place before signing off on the granite plans. I found that the island is sitting about 3" closer to the family room than planned. In other words, I could do a 9" overhang and the breakfast bar would be entirely within the kitchen, or I could stick with 12" and the breakfast bar would creep about 3" into the 9" doorway separating the kitchen from the family room.
Before I go any further with my story I should state that moving the island or refusing to buy the house until the island is moved/rebuilt is not an option. One of the lessons I have learned from this is that in addition to my cabinet drawings, I should have insisted upon a whole-room drawing that identifies precisely where the island will be situated. I didn't ask for that, it was not presented to me, and I feel that I have no basis for complaining about its location, nor do I want to postpone completion of the house for them to move the island, repair the wood floors, redo the plumbing in the island, etc. DH and I are living with my parents until the house is done so we don't want any delays.
Back to the breakfast bar -- In my opinion, if I can only fit a 9" overhang then I might as well not even have a breakfast bar because I have very long legs and won't be comfortable sitting there to eat. But I really, really, really wanted and needed a breakfast bar so I'm determined to find a way to make this work. I am considering sticking with the 12" even though the granite will "intrude" into the doorway by a few inches.
We have not yet decided on barstools. We could go with the saddle style (no backs) and tuck them completely under the bar when not in use. Those would not stick out into the family room at all. Or we could go with a more comfortable stool with a back but it might stick out into the family room and look like the island is creeping into the family room.
Opinions, advice, questions, reassurance - all are welcome at this point. I'm so frazzled and so ready to be finished with this project! We're lucky that this is really the first problem we have encountered in the building process but the appearance of the kitchen, family room, and breakfast bar is important to me.
Thanks for listening and for any comments.
P.S. I'm also posting this in the Home Decorating forum.
how much space will there be between the front of the island and the bank of cabinets? I personally wouldn't want the breakfast bar sneaking into the FR area. I think I'd move it, if possible to move (spacewise) or forget the snackbar part of the island. It would bug me forever. It's an easy fix now..not easy later. How long is the island?
We only have a 11" overhang at our breakfast bar. I kept looking at it and thinking something was off then after the subtop was put on I questioned it. I was assured all was right. After they put the corbels on I noticed they had to shave some inches off of them. I panicked and drove over to the granite fabricators shop. He asked me to meet him at the house with a barstool. Once I sat down at the bar with a bar stool I realized that a bigger overhang wasn't necessary.
Can you grab a barstool and check it out? I kept putting my leg up to our overhang and freaked cause it looked so short in comparison to my leg. The granite guy actually laughed when I illustrated it. I am quite a bit taller then him and he said it was my freakishly long legs that skewed the results.
If you think it is necessary to add the inches to make the bar user friendly I would do so.
Debbie_2008: The island is 36" x 108". There is plenty of space between the front of the island and the wall cabinets. Moving the island isn't an option since it's already been bolted down, stained, plumbing pipes set, and the wood floor would be damaged by moving the island.
xoxosmom: My mom has a counter-height bar with a 20" overhang so I'm going to set up some boxes under hers to mimic overhangs ranging from 9" to 12" and see if I can make do with something shorter than 12".
I appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
I don't see any problem with having the island stick into the doorway. Am I missing something? I'm assuming the flooring will be the same in both rooms? Are you going to have swivel stools, so people can converse easily both ways?
Your chairs/stools are going to be in the FR part regardless, so what's a few more inches of granite? (I'm assuming you aren't tight for space in the family room?) Our overhang is 12", and my belly hits the granite before my knees hit the peninsula underneath.
If you're worried about the transition, maybe paint that back wall of the kitchen doorway the same colour as the kitchen.
Raehelen: I just assumed that the kitchen island should be within the kitchen. And when I realized it might bleed over into the family room, I began to worry that it would look strange.
Buehl: That doorway is really wide - maybe 17 feet, I think.
I agree with raehelen on this one.
Trust me, don't skimp on this. Hubby decided to (without my input) and I am rather unhappy with it. It's not functional in the least and just sits there as a junk collector.
If it comes to it, it's much easier to remove some of the granite than it would be to add more.
I also agree with Raehelen... Your FR doorway is so wide that even w/a 9' wide island overhanging into to it you'll still have 4' on each side...plenty of room for traffic. Also the fact that the doorway is so deep will also help you maintain a little bit of separation. So, don't skimp, go for the full overhang you had planned.
try hard, i think you should not forgo your breakfast bar or your ability to use it comfortably. if i understand the way you describe it, the 12 inch overhang will only protrude into the doorway, not the actual room, and then only by 3 inches. it really sounds fine to me.
unused, sitting there with stools tucked, i think it will be seen as the kitchen. whether you use the 9 or the 12, your actual bodies or backs of stools will probably graze the family room but so what? counters and bars are often transitional spaces to the next room anyway, and i think that either way it will be fine and you will enjoy it so go for the 12!
by the way, former owners of my house made the counter bar extend 11 inches which we find comfortable for knees. however, they removed the wall between kitchen and dining room and the entire counter protrudes the 11 inches into our small dining room which completely throws off the center of the room and makes the stools way too close to the dining table. i can't gut the whole space, so i live with it and really love using the counter bar.
your situation is far far better and i bet it will look fantastic.
good luck and let us know what you decided.
A big Thank You to everyone who took the time to respond to my post. I am going to stick with my original plan and not fret about the overhang being in the doorway.
It's funny - it seemed like such a big deal to me yesterday, but after sleeping on it and reading the feedback I got here, it's no longer feels like a major problem. Thank goodness I can relax about this and wait for the next crisis to come along...

I have a Lenovo X201 Tablet runnig Fedora 18.
I have these devices:
[niko@localhost ~]$ xsetwacom list Serial Wacom Tablet WACf00c stylus id: 13 type: STYLUS Serial Wacom Tablet WACf00c eraser id: 14 type: ERASER Serial Wacom Tablet WACf00c touch id: 15 type: TOUCH
is there an easy way, to completely disable the Touch input without affecting the other two? I don't like the touch one and don't need it at all and it sometimes causes problems when I rest my hand on the screen while using the stylus (which has precedence over the touch, but this is not 100% reliable)
I can provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance!
Ping Cheng
xsetwacom set 15 touch off
Nikolai Neff
Works great, thank you!
Maybe this should be added to the manpage of xsetwacom, because I looked there first and couldn't find anything regarding an off switch :D
Ping Cheng
Oh, really? I did not know manpage is out of date. I normally use "xsetwacom list parameter" to check the current supportred options. We'll take care of the man page soon.
Nikolai Neff
Well thank you!
And for anyone else finding this thread:
It has to be "xsetwacom list parameters"
- which listed Touch On/Off for me, maybe I should have looked there as well.

From the Publisher"Can't get enough of Chicago? The most dynamic character in Charlie Newton's…terrific [START SHOOTING] is the Windy City--the down and dirty side of it, anyway…the voices reverberate in your ears, and the smell of gunfire lingers long after the last man is down."--New York Times Book Review
"The vision of Chicago in this firecracker crime novel is one teeming with violence and venality, where Al Capone has been replaced by gangbangers and authorities are far from untouchable…his lit-fuse urgency hits you right in the gut."--Entertainment Weekly
"Charlie Newton is the real goods, delivering bare-knuckles crime fiction with life-or-death action, visceral language, and characters whose flaws and humanity pull us into his cops-and-crime landscape. I was completely won over. Start Shooting is a superb balance between adrenaline and pathos."--Robert Crais, New York Times bestselling author of The Sentry
"[Charlie] Newton has given us a frenzied, frenetic, driving, punching, shouting, pinwheel of revelations about life in the wrong lane…I wanted to put the book down and shout, 'Whoa, whoa! Slow it down just a little, please.' But I couldn't put the book down."--Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune
"[Charlie] Newton's books, all set in Chicago, are full of startling things — shocking plot turns, indelible characters, brutal violence alternating with moments of strange beauty and desperate tenderness."--Chicago Sun-Times
"Doing for the Windy City what The Wire did for Baltimore and James Ellroy's novels did for Los Angeles, [Start Shooting] uncovers with sardonic intensity the deep and seemingly irreversible connections between crime, politics, business and tabloid journalism….[Charlie] Newton delivers [a] thrilling, densely packed novel that makes most Chicago crime thrillers seem tame."--Kirkus (starred review)
"A vast cast of characters, many deeply evil; numerous subplots...; copious violence and car chases; a granular look at the city; and a writing style that might be called fever dream....Arleen and Bobby are wonderfully realized characters, and the beyond-frenzied action is certainly hypnotic. Newton has created the writerly equivalent of every great Chicago bluesman who ever lived playing together; all soloing simultaneously. It might be messy, but you wouldn't want to miss a single note."--Booklist (starred review)
"Charlie Newton bar none is the most talented new voice of noir. Start Shooting had me on the edge of my seat for hours: dark, chilling, gripping, clever...Raymond Chandler would be proud."--Andrew F. Gulli, The Strand Magazine
"The dark underside of Chicago's gangland snarls and bites juxtaposed against the sheer beauty of Newton's writing." —Crimespree Magazine

'WorryFree' weed killer a round up alternative?
Has anyone used or heard anything about WorryFree Weed and Grass Killer?
It says it uses d-limonene, a citrus oil related thing... to kill the weeds, which seems to also be an insecticide.
Its OMRI listed, for organic gardens, and can be used around pets and wildlife.
Does it work? Think its any safer than other products? Can you, and when could you, plant after application(it didn't say in the label)? I'm guessing it wouldn't be helpful to any insects... any other environmental issues?
I'm thinking of using it as a one time application to ready some new beds, just so I can get some other plants established.
Any thoughts or insights are appreciated.
Here is the link to their website.
Here is a link that might be useful: WorryFree Weed and Grass Killer product page
This is a plant killer and it will kill any plant it contacts, maybe. Some people have had good results using citrus oils while others have not. Just keep in mind that simply because something is made from "natural" materials does not mean it is good. Arsenic is a natural product but no one in their right mind would use it to control any insect.

Bunny Ear Help Please
I was hoping someone could advise me on a cactus problem. I bought my mother a bunny ear cactus and everything was great. It has taken off in a very big way. My mother said that there are little skinny spines like things coming out of the pads that look like skinny greenbeans. There are so many of them that the cactus is getting top heavy and bending over. She is afraid that this is going to hurt the plant and make it cave in by the shear weight of these. It has already folded in at the top of the cacti. Do you know if she can break off the top of the cactus or support it with stakes? Or ? I would appreciate any suggestions because she received this as a mother's day present and she and I hate to see it die because of this problem. She has it inside as a houseplant if this information helps as well. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thaks in advance!
I think I'll need a picture for this ...
How big are these "spines" (I don't think it is spines, it is more likely either rudimentary leaves or etiolitated new growth)?
Most Opuntia are robust plants that can be pruned without hurting the plant or making it look weird, so it should be ok to cut off a few pieces. But a photo would be a big help to understand what it going on.
I have uploaded the photos to kodak share, here is the link to the album:

thank you so much in advance!
sorry to keep bothering you..I think I made it this time!
thanks a lot..

Here's a follow up picture of the bunny ear cactus at the following link. http://photobucket.com/oddduck314 I still need help identifying what is going on with it. Thanks again for any assistance you might be able to provide.
Oops, I forgot about this thread, I have never understood how the threads are sorted on the main page.
odduck: the "spine like things" are extremely etioliated new segments. That plant is in terrible need of more light. I would cut off all etioliated new growth and put the plant in a sunnier position.
baharryy: your plant is sick, looks like rot. It is also a little etioliated. If you really want to it might be possible to cut of the healthy segment (if the rot has not already spread to it, this can only be seen after cutting it off) and root it, but I don't think it is worth the effort except for practice.
Both plants look like Opuntia microdasys, one of the worst when it comes to handling the stems. Very irritating glochids.
thank you so much for the info! I have already cut the healthy segment - luckily there seems to be no rotting there..
I am waiting for the cut to heal-close - I will re-plant it soon..Any tips for re-rooting? I heard I shouldnt be giving water for some time - but how much time? Also how deep it should be? And does it need special soil?
And the questions kept coming :)
The wound will be vulnerable to fungal disorders for a long time. Therefore, many prefer to tilt the pad and let the cut remain just above soil level. It will put out roots from the areoles in concact with the soil. Later, the plant can be potted in a more upright position. Could be worth trying, I often use it with good results. Actually it does not need to be put down into the soil, Opuntia pads usually root even if placed flat on top of the soil (but it will look funny). Some species (and many other cacti) put out roots even without soil.
I have also seen Opuntia cuttings that have been buried to half their height, so deep that the wound is positioned directly over the hole in the bottom of the pot. I have not tried that myself.
No water for some time after potting. How long depends on the species and temperature. The fast ones needs 2-3 weeks, slow Opuntia can take almost a year. I have never tried to root a microdasys, but I would not expect roots in less than 1-2 months. You can put the pad in something that is easy to remove such as cat litter, wait for a while (without watering) pour out the "soil" and check for roots. When the roots are a few mm long I give a small amount of water - just a few drops or ml depending on the size of the cutting.
The soil: When I root Opuntia I use a very airy medium that does not hold a lot of water, such as gravel and the pebbles of fired clay that is sold under many names (Hydroleca is one). Later, when the roots have almost filled the pot and the wound has healed better I repot it in a mixture of ordinary garden soil (of the loam type, not clay) and same coarse stuff I used for rooting + some coarse sand, approximately at a 3:4 ratio.
Different growers use different techniques, you will definitely see other recommendations if you search for more information. Be prepared to lose a number of pads while learning what works for you.

Perfectly Imperfect
I walk out into the shocking cold air, my hands tucked
firmly in my pockets. My mind is a blurry mess of fuzzy images and fried
thoughts. I know I need to clear my head, so I gaze up into the true black sky.
It's a thing of beauty tonight, a dark blanket of night stitched with sequined
stars. And there, lying within the illuminated freckles, I find him. Maybe he
is God, maybe he is just another constellation etched into the night sky. But
suddenly, I know just what to do.
Dropping to the ground, I whisper to him. I tell him about
my day, and about how lonely I am. I tell him how I don't seem to fit in at
school, and how no guy will ever like me. I explain in detail about my math
teacher's blatant dislike for me, and I go on about my backstabbing best
friend. I cry over my parent's divorce and beg for advice on my troubled
brother. But most of all, I pray for things to work out in the end. I plead
that it will get better, and that I won't be alone for long. I wish with all my
heart for sunny days and blue skies, for endless happiness and eternal peace.
When I'm done talking to him, I sprawl out across the grass
and wonder who I'm even talking to. In a split second, I know it doesn't
matter. All that I care about is that, whoever he is, he's listening. And that
is something I've never had before. Closing my eyes, I imagine what would
happen if all my dreams came true. I would be the most popular girl in my whole
school, with various friends and boys drifting in my wake. I would have tons of
cute clothes, a perfect family, and a Beverly Hills-style mansion to reside in.
I would have fantastic grades, and probably end up in my dream school.
But I would be selfish, thinking only of myself and how
amazingly lucky I am. I would cast off friends like contestants on a game show
and never look back. I would be hated by girls who were lower in status then I,
and with good reason. I wouldn't be very nice, and I would never stop to think
about how others feel or how mean I am to them. And that just isn't me.
My eyes snap open frantically, and I breathe a sigh of
relief when I realize that none of that is true. Honestly, I'm not very
popular. I don't wear designer clothes or possess a supermodel face. My grades
are average to teachers, and horrible to my parents. My family is scattered at
best, and torturous at worst. I am nothing like that girl I'd thought I wanted
to be. I am kind, and I put others first. I don't throw away friends like
they're clothes that I've grown out of, and even though I've never had a
boyfriend, I don't mind because I know that a guy will come along who likes me
for me. I'm dedicated and focused, and my heart is pure.
Would I give all that up just for a social reputation? And
just like that, I have my answer.
Tilting my head back and studying the sky, I whisper, "Never
mind." Wrapping my jacket tighter around my body, I hurry back home. Just as
I'm pushing open my back door, I hear a soft voice floating through my ears and
surrounding me like the most beautiful kind of music, saying, "You are never
alone." A grin splits my face as I run inside to greet my dysfunctional family.
Gazing around my small house, with my vacant parents and angry brother, all I
can see is perfect. Perfectly imperfect, just like it should be.

openSUSE Goes Offline To Transform
Having your Linux distribution suddenly disappear from the internet would put a strain on anyone. It does happen from time to time, however, something the team at Fedora can testify to. Announcing in advance that your distro will pull a David Copperfield would prove far less stressful, and that's exactly what the good people at openSUSE have done.
According to an openSUSE news post from Novell's Lars Vogdt, planned maintenance at the SUSE Linux office in Nuremberg, Germany will result in interruptions to a number of openSUSE's services. Though it affects only the Maxtorhof building on the Nuremberg campus, the maintenance in question is to the building's transformers, resulting in the entire site losing power for the duration of the work. As a result, all servers at the site, including those hosting openSUSE services, will be taken offline.
Failover servers are in place to handle some opensuse.org services, including:
- download.opensuse.org
- software.opensuse.org
- static.opensuse.org
- build.opensuse.org
- conference.opensuse.org
- shop.opensuse.org
The project's downtime page indicates that the failover servers for each will provide static content during the downtime, with the exception of download.opensuse.org, which bears the note that it "maybe [sic] a bit slower."
The page also notes services that will not have failover servers. They include, among others:
- features.opensuse.org
- lists.opensuse.org
- apparmor.opensuse.org
- crashdb.opensuse.org
- api.opensuse.org
- users.opensuse.org
- community.opensuse.org
- board.opensuse.org
- svn.opensuse.org
- git.opensuse.org
There is a particular note that, due to lists.opensuse.org not having a failover server, all openSUSE mailing lists will be down for the duration of the outage. According to Vogdt, building on build.opensuse.org was to end yesterday, Thursday the 10th, so that the packages on the project's mirrors would be current during the downtime.
While the work itself will take place on Saturday and Sunday, the downtime will begin today, Friday the 11th, at 13:00 UTC (9:00 AM EDT) and is scheduled to end Monday, September 14, at 7:00 UTC (3:00 AM EDT).

If you've ever doubted that a remix could be better than the original, let us present to you the Kenmore Elite 41472. Sears has given the full Skrillex treatment to the LG WM3470HVA — keeping the best parts and making improvements where necessary.
The result is a high-end washer that can get a load of clothes remarkably clean in 38 minutes. Yes, it's pretty expensive for a clothes washer ($1299 MSRP, around $1150 on sale), but consider that the Kenmore's Accela-Wash will save you about 20 minutes over comparable machines on every normal cycle. If you do three washes a week, that's an hour of free time a week for you to do something other than laundry — and more than ten days of extra time saved over the course of five years.
On all other cycles, the Kenmore Elite 41472 did a very good job getting stains out of clothes, and it managed to remain energy efficient as well. It's that rare appliance that's both expensive and worth every penny, and its all because Kenmore dropped the bass.

This latest batch comes from Sonny Dickson, a "tech enthusiast, 9to5Mac researcher," and obviously someone who has the iPad mini mockup we've seen way too many times by now. There is a tiny chance this is the actual device, but given that we can only see its back and it's a 32GB unit like all the previous mockups we saw tells us that this is just another angle at Apple's upcoming tablet.
What can we learn from these pictures? Well, once again, we see a Lightning connector and the same style Apple used in the iPhone 5 for the speakers on the bottom. We also get a glimpse at the rear camera. The design looks the same good industrial thin affair. Check those new pictures out below and pray for tomorrow to come sooner.

The way I love is always caring and true I love the way

Nyack News
Nyack DC Partners With Central Union Mission
The Nyack DC campus has forged a partnership with Central Union Mission, the oldest social service agency in Washington, DC. The "Campaign for Compassion," is a five-month effort, which began in November to encourage public service and support for Washington's poor, homeless, hungry, addicted and friendless.
More than 12,000 men, women, and children in the nation's capitol and the surrounding area are living in shelters, transitional housing, or on the streets. In light of the suffering of so many, Central Union Mission and Nyack DC will go into churches on what are called "Compassion Sundays" and challenge congregants on the issues of compassion and public service for the poor.
Nyack and the Mission will also offer special programs for emergency shelters, special programs for children, and schools, participating in a "Help for the Homeless Walkathon." Dr. Patricia Johnson, Associate Dean, who directs Nyack DC's new Certification Program in Community Development, which launches in February 2010, moderates a blog: "Compassion: A Conversation Blog" at http://missiondc.org/blog hosted by the Central Union Mission. "This is a natural for us in light of Nyack's core values," said Nyack's Dean, Dr. Richard Gathro.

Speedy, the UK's leading tools, equipment and plant hire services company, operating across the construction, infrastructure and industrial markets, has opened a pioneering flagship National Distribution Centre (NDC) in Tamworth, which is set to revolutionise the way the company operates.
Research has shown that over 5 million employees are affected but nearly 50% of all RPE does not provide the wearer with the adequate level of protection.
There are many materials asbestos surveyors will check when looking for the substance, but some are more dangerous than others as they are more likely to get damaged and expel the harmful fibres into the air. The HSE states insulation and moulded or preformed lagging used in the thermal insulation of pipes can usually cause the most damage, as they can be made of up to 85 per cent asbestos fibres and release them easily.
Speedy, the UK's leading provider of equipment rental and support services, has boosted its Liverpool presence to meet the needs of the city's thriving construction sector.
Speedy is delighted to congratulate the winners of the MCE Insurance British Superbike (BSB) Speedy Fastest Lap League 2013.

The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) posted a Final Rule Analysis on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) Ability-to-Repay and Qualified Mortgages rule. Of significance, the CUNA Final Rule Analysis includes a quick summary and a new section regarding "CUNA's Initial Take on the Impact of the Rule." In that section, we briefly address some positive issues as well as concerns about the implementation of the rule.
Missouri credit unions have an opportunity to weigh in on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) final rule on international remittance transfers. CFPB Director Richard Cordray has asked the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) to assemble a working group that will meet with him in-person to discuss the rule and its impact on credit unions.
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) met on May 24 and took positive steps to improve the regulatory and reporting treatment for troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The NCUA Board also eliminated the RegFlex program, but folded authorities under the program into the various rules that have applied to RegFlex activities.

Before you can begin designing successful mobile
learning programs, you need to decide if you are developing content
or applications exclusively for a mobile platform, a specific set
of users, or a wide range of devices. As you continue to develop
content for the desktop, you should consider thinking about what
would happen if this content were to be accessed from a mobile
device. Would it work? If your answer is no, then you need to
rethink your program and consider the impact of adding mobile
support as well as the primary desktop support.
1. Will it function as the ideal delivery
2. Will it fail and not work at all, partially
work, or be fully supported? For example, if your content is
primarily Flash-based, iOS will not play the content at
3. Can you design the content to support and take
advantage of each platform? This is getting easier if you are using
HTML-based frameworks for your content, because they will work via
any browser. If you are concerned about the size of the browser
window or the physical size of the device, consider using CSS3,
cascading style sheets, and JavaScript to recognize the device your
learner is using and automatically adjust the UI (user interface)
to optimize for that device.
If your organization does not currently support
this concept, you will want to look at what would be involved, and
plan to update your LMS, CMS, or platform so that you can support
most platforms and devices.
Go native or develop web
After defining the scope of your strategy
(audience, hardware/software, timetable, budget, and so forth), you
need to determine whether you plan to develop a native app or web
app? A web app is accessible from any device, on any operating
system, be it a desktop or smartphone, created with

to allow for more powerful features.

You also need to choose a single OS (operating
system) or attempt to support as many as possible? Based on your
organization and audience for learning, you need to determine if
you will support one or multiple platforms. If you are working with
learners who can choose their OS or use home devices, then you will
need to take a more general approach to be able to deliver to as
many platforms as possible. If you choose an OS, you need to
consider how often the company updates the OS, how often the
hardware changes, and how they may affect your web or app
Usability issues to
You should also consider who your audience is, how
they will access the content, when they will access the content,
and how much time they will spend with it during each session.
Usability should always be a priority in development, but it is
extremely important when it comes to mobile devices. They come in
all shapes and sizes, so an aesthetically pleasing yet simple
display is essential. Along with simplicity comes ease of use. The
screen is most likely going to be smaller than that of a computer,
so try to keep a clean design that does not require much
explanation on how to use it.
The user should be able to figure out what to do
just by looking at the screen. The interface should have an
appropriate display layout, simple menus and buttons, and varied
media support. Another important thing to consider is help links
and files. If a user is having trouble understanding how to
properly use the interface on their device, there needs to be a
quick and easy way to find the solution. Along with a "help"
button, a search option is an additional way for users to find what
they are looking for.
Tools for mobile
The following tools can be used for mobile
development, and choosing a particular tool should be based on the
level of experience you have as a developer and what you want to
offer with your mobile program.

Wrap up
You should be considering mobile learning for your
workforce because it is a critical factor in delivering the best in
learning experiences. You can start small, adding components and
continuing to evolve as your organization adopts mobile devices.
With an enormous growth in mobile devices across the board,
reluctance to adapt to the evolution of technology could leave your
company behind and scrambling to catch up. As the newer generations
grow up using these devices in all aspects of their lives, why
should learning be left out? Access to mobile devices will change
the future of learning.
