For a preview of the video, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4ClbmioKkw. Beautiful Goodbye, Marx's first studio album of all new material in 10 years, will be released July 8th by Kobalt Label Services (KLS).
Fans may find Beautiful Goodbye is a bit of a departure from Marx's previous albums. According to Marx, he set out to make a deliberately sexy album. "The songs on this record were influenced greatly by everyone from Sade to Bebel Gilberto to various EDM artists to even Chopin. I'm known for romantic music in the past, but this music I wrote is all more sensual and cinematic, and the lyrics are more adventurous than I've been willing to go in the past."
Every track on the new album also incorporates an orchestral element, and the recording of the tracks was, according to Marx, "a thrill beyond anything I've done in the studio. Singing these songs brought out what I believe are the most effortless vocals of my recording career, so far."
The tracks on Beautiful Goodbye are written and produced by Marx except "Getaway," co-written and produced with
Marx's last album of all new material, My Own Best Enemy, was released in 2004 featuring hits "When You're Gone" and "Ready to Fly." In 2011, he released Stories To Tell, a greatest hits album and in 2012 he released his first Christmas album, Christmas Spirit.
In the last few years Marx has also found time to write for other artists, most recently

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
The Mandala Hotel
Potsdamer Strasse 3, Berlin, Germany
Neighborhood: Potsdamer Platz
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In the heart of Berlin's shining new Potsdamer Platz, amid a sea of futuristic skyscrapers, and sandwiched between the Sony and Daimler Chrysler complexes, the Mandala is something of an oasis. Despite the bustle on the streets below, the atmosphere is anything but harried, with views over the quiet inner courtyard or balconies and terraces taking in the panorama of the city and the Tiergarten Park.
The Mandala's style is modern, but restrained—the reception is sedate and unassuming, lacking the sort of flamboyant design statement we're accustomed to seeing in the lobby of a modern boutique. Here it seems the designers' attention has been focused on the living spaces, rather than the hotel's public face.
Each of the Mandala's 166 suites is individually designed, but all are cut from the same modern-elegant cloth, clean and bright but never sterile, a style more suited to a chic apartment than to a flashy hotel. The last thing anyone needs after negotiating the sensory overload of Potsdamer Platz is a "challenging" hotel environment, and the Mandala's posh livability is a decided asset.
Perhaps most calming is the fifth-floor terrace restaurant, with a retractable glass roof to keep the elements out and let the moonlight in: an intimate 14-table venue, Facil is one of Berlin's better-kept secrets, serving a sophisticated cuisine in a casual yet stylish setting.

What I liked:
What a great location in the heart of the modern Berlin. Beautiful, spacious, simple, peaceful rooms with a sense of serenity. There is so much value here, especially in such a preferred location! The reception staff was exceptionally helpful to me with several personal travel challenges, including finding me a suitable mobile phone solution. The managing partner was fantastic in dealing with one issue I had at the restaurant, and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Room service was always prompt and friendly.
What the hotel could do better:
I think the restaurant concept needs further thinking in order to better accomodate the broader needs of hotel clientele. This property could also use a seasoned concierge.

A teacher forever
More News from Ruth Fernandez Yap
I had the wonderful privilege of having another career before becoming a full-time teacher. This gave me a very good view of the great divide between teaching and the other professions.
I am as passionate about my previous profession as I am about teaching, and I certainly believe there is nobility in every profession. But there is something about teaching that gives that certain high—and low—that can only be explained by actual experience.
What is a teacher?
I would like to answer that question with a true story.
In my first advisory class, I had this unmotivated pupil who had been "branded" with a big loser sign on his head. He would clam up every time he was called and would not even stand up for simple recitations.
I discovered pretty soon that even the significant people around him would intone words that did nothing but bring this pupil down.
Well, I am not a master teacher and I cannot claim to be really, really good at teaching. And, heck, it was my first time, at an age when I was supposed to be "enjoying the fruits of my labor."
But I had this burning desire to make this child realize that he could be someone, that he was not a loser. A good start, I assured myself. I needed gumption to see me through.
So every day we worked on his academics and his "self-appreciation." We went through several exercises together and many emotional moments of high fives and quiet back taps just to assure ourselves we were on the right track.
Sometimes, it got really exhausting and, for many months, there was that feeling of futility, but just the same we plodded on together and hoped for the best.
Then came a big chance for us to assess what he had learned.
A competition was held and the first miracle happened—he was one of the finalists. Wow! It was a really big deal and, for me, already a big win.
Nobody imagined he would get into the finals. Even more unbelievable—he came in fourth!
What a wonderful feeling—so wonderful I cried.
So melodramatic, many would say. But I know a lot of teachers who, had they the same experience, would have felt the same way. Maybe not by crying openly as I did, but I am sure in the silence of an empty room they would have cried for joy.
A teacher's mind believes. A teacher's heart perseveres. A teacher's love transforms.
Professional regulation groups may be able to measure the intellectual competence of a teacher. But who can really see the depths of a teacher's heart, the intensity of a teacher's passion and the sincerity of a teacher's intention?
Passion lets the teacher see beyond weaknesses and limitations. Intention gives the teacher the power to empower other people.
I will probably go into another field yet again—who knows? But the part of my life that I spent teaching is something that I will never forget.
I guess I will be a teacher forever.
Ruth Fernandez Yap is head teacher at UCCP-Anabu Christian School in Imus, Cavite. She homeschools her own children.

KUALA LUMPUR: A non-governmental organisation has lodged two reports against a group of youths who allegedly insulted the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and attacked the press during the anti-GST rally on May 1.
Martabat Jalinan Muhibbah Malaysia (MJMM) president Abdul Rani Kulup Abdullah said he saw a YouTube video, supposedly of Geng Kotak members, singing the national anthem during the rally in Dataran Merdeka and was offended when they insulted the King.
In the video, some 30 people danced around and lit flares while singing Negaraku, ending the anthem with chants that insulted the King.
During the rally, the same youths were later seen involved in a brawl with PAS' Unit Amal officers and members of the media.
"I had no problems with the protest. It was their right but I am offended by the acts of some of the protesters who were aggressive and insulted the King.
"I saw it for myself in the papers and on the Internet," Abdul Rani said.
The MJMM was one of the NGOs whose members were seen in February slaughtering chickens and smearing blood on a banner showing Pakatan Rakyat leaders, while issuing a RM1,500 cash reward for whoever could slap DAP MP Teresa Kok.

The new guide contains many components, such as a training manual, a journal, log sheets, an exercise library, and a supplement guide, which can help men achieve their goals quickly. In other words, the program contains an audio file, audio interrogation, and a quick start check list.

Matthew Hajdun (VT '12)
TeacherAmerican School of Brasilia
Brazilia, Brazil, VT
At the time of the Award, Matthew Hajdun was:Teacher
Champlain Elementary School
Burlington, VT
Subject(s) taught: General Elementary
Grade(s): 3, 4, 5
Biographical Information
Matthew Hajdun's fifth-grade classroom at Burlington's Champlain Elementary dives into the day with a morning meeting, then engages in innovative lessons that frequently take students out of the room and often weaves Spanish into the curriculum. (He spent time teaching in a Honduran orphanage, so he's well-versed in the language.) But the classroom is not the only place where you will find this fun-loving educator. He makes surprise visits to the gym, where he rollerblades in as "Mr. Quizner" to ask kids exam questions.
As part of a classroom looping program, Hajdun taught his current students last year as fourth graders. He differentiates instruction, which is grounded in the latest research-based information, and is talented at teaching complex concepts. Highly inclusive, Hajdun is skilled with special education students as well as those who are gifted. He teaches social skills and social responsibility, and hosts family picnics, ice skating parties and movie nights. Students become book buddies with younger pupils and Hajdun has even fashioned a cozy spot in the room for kids to head for a break if they are struggling. Student achievement scores for reading, writing, math and science all rank above district and state averages.
Described as "a stellar cooperating teacher for student teachers," Hajdun is observed by undergraduate education majors as a model teacher. A grade-level team leader, he mentors student teachers, holds a leadership role on Champlain's literacy team, and heads the grade- level and data teams. Hajdun wrote and led a districtwide reading program and is active in multiple community volunteer roles, many of which deal with literacy. His guiding star: "What is best for children."

Generally when we are talking about an application on Android it is usually either some sort of companion application for an already existing game, an emulator or a fan made application like a Live Wallpaper. This time we are actually talking about a non-gaming application getting an add-on made for it that deals with gaming. If you happen to use DashClock, there is now a widget that allows you to see what friends are online on Xbox Live.
With XBMC for Android soon being available for both Android devices as well as the Ouya and GameStick consoles, the developers have been hard at work adding new features to the application. In the latest pre-release build, XBMC now comes with support for Apple's Airplay as well as a variety of other new features and fixes.
Back in the middle of July we reported on a new Nintendo DS emulator that was being developed for Android called DraStic. One of the bigger claims that this emulator makes is that it is a high speed emulator which is good since it seems like most Nintendo DS emulators tend to not run at full speed and actually end up running pretty slowly. Of course that is partly also dependent on what device you're running it on.
Amazon has announced a new expansion plan that doesn't involve expanding their service to new countries but instead expanding their catalog of apps and games available through their app store. However these won't be coming in the typical fashion everyone is used to and that is because these will be web applications made using languages like HTML5.
While Google's Chromecast has only been available since the company announced it last week, someone has already hacked the streaming device and stuffed a GameBoy emulator into it. Most people won't be surprised at the fact that the Chromecast got hacked an something like this was stuck onto it but how games are loaded up and played is actually pretty interesting.
Google loves to add Easter Eggs to pretty much everything they release and so far it looks like every single one of them has been found... at least to everyone's knowledge that is. Well Google's newest application is no exception to the rule which means the Google Play Games app that arrived yesterday has an Easter Egg that has been discovered.
While Google's press event had the new Nexus 7 tablets as the headliner for the event, that wasn't the only news to come out of the press breakfast. Aside from the official announcement of Android 4.3, Google also officially announced that a Google Play Games application would be launching today. This is something that a lot of people were hoping would actually see the light of day.
While there are ways to skin your little guy in Minecraft: Pocket Edition, it is a bit on the technical side when it comes to actually implementing them. Once you get the hang of it though you can add skins pretty quickly as well as other UI tweaks. Eventually an application landed on iOS called Minecraft Skin Studio which allows users to create skins for their little guy in Minecraft while on the go.
We haven't had emulator news in a little while now but today that is going to change as a port of the Open Pandora DS Emulator called DraStic is making its way over to Android real soon. For those of you unfamiliar with this emulator, DraStic is a full speed DS Emulator which will let you play Nintendo DS games on your Android device.
One of the more popular emulators for Android has been updated with some rather cool features. eSPXe's update now will support that MOGA controller you happen to own and is able to sync up with the MOGA Pivot app. It will also support wireless Xbox controllers as well now with Ms USB Receiver.
It was not too long ago that Amazon went after the whole centralized game hub idea for things like leaderboards and achievements. Similar to the newly released Google Play Games service in some ways, Amazon's GameCircle doesn't have all the features that Google's service provides and until now the GameCircle service was completely limited to Amazon devices only and games purchased through Amazon's AppStore.

Cold Squad is a one-hour police drama originally on CTV that focuses on 'cold cases'; unsolvable cases that have gone for years without a solution. Each week there is a new 'cold case' brought out of the woodwork to solve, which may date back five years, or could even date back fifty years. The primary personality in Cold Squad is Sgt. Ali McCormick. Although she isn't the official head of the unit, her opinion is invaluable to the other workers. She is backed up by a team of highly skilled professionals who, as it so happens, are also her good friends. Throughout the years, the cast was comprised of: Allan Lysell (Det. Bill Overmyer (1999-2000; eps. 27-39)) Bob Frazer (Det. Eddie Carson (1998-1999; eps. 12-26)) Eli Gabay (Det. Larry Iredell (1998; eps. 1-11)) Garry Chalk (Insp.

Trivia (14)
Although this was the third episode aired, it's actually the pilot, in which the characters and the concept of the "Cold Squad" are introduced.
Stone (whom Logozzo refers to as Jill Jr.) is doing her doctorate in Abnormal Psychology at University of British Columbia. She and McCormick met while McCormick was doing Homicide and had asked her for her help.
McCormick (a sergeant) recently transfered to Cold Squad after three years of being partnered with Gallagher in Homicide.
Logozzo ended up in the basement (where Cold Squad works) after years on the force sent him on a downward spiral into the bottle. He has three children (Ben, Lisa and Carmen) with three different women. He's a smoker, and is bitter because he failed the sergeant's exam and McCormick was put in charge of Cold Squad.
Jill is working for Cold Squad doing research while working toward her doctorate in abnormal psychology.
Logozzo reveals that he divorced Vivian (wife #3) in 1993.
Tony's birthdate is revealed to be 14 August 1946.
After finding the mass grave in the basement, one of the firefighters is sick to his stomach and throws up. When he is throwing up, the camera is zoomed in on his face, then pulls back out. The floor beneath him is clearly visible, and although he had just been seen throwing up, there is nothing on the floor.
Allusions (9)
While Logozzo questions Don Newlock, Jeopardy! plays in the background, and Newlock comments on how he loves this game where they give you the answers, but you have to come up with the questions.
Andy Pawlachuk: I've always admired your spunk, McCormick. Ali McCormick: Gee, thanks, Mr. Grant. In a scene from Mary Tyler Moore, Lou Grant tells Mary that she has spunk, and he hates spunk.
Len Harper refers to the Ed Leeford Association. Back in high-school, Richard Tugnett had formed a group called the Ed Leeford Association. This group was for young misfits who enjoyed reading and didn't like being labeled as nerds. It was in this group that Viveca, then a student, fell in love with the much older Richard. The reference is from the Dickens work Oliver Twist, in which Leeford is the older half-brother of Oliver. Leeford's mother had burned his father's will, which meant she and her son inherited everything, as she and the senior Mr. Leeford had never dissolved their marriage. The show even admits that the Dickens work was the inspiration.
Nicco Sevallis: Go to it, Nancy Drew. Christine promises to look into something for the men, and Nicco refers to his as 'Nancy Drew', a well-known female fictional detective created by Carolyn Keene.
Jeremy: I don't work on Monday nights. Queer as Folk is on. This seems like a less than subtle pitch for one of Showcase's hottest shows, the American (but produced in Canada) Queer as Folk, originally based on the British series of the same name. Queer as Folk was wildly successful once it premiered, and is one of the only hit primetime soaps that revolves solely around male/male and female/female (mostly male/male) relationships.
Pierre Martin: See you in court, Serpico. Serpico is a well-known name in detective television circles. Pierre calls Len that after informing him he will sue him for wrongful arrest for the years-earlier murder of Randy Bettinger, which it turns out never happened.
Ray Chase: She was telling the truth. Len Harper: Thanks, Kreskin. The Amazing Kreskin (real name George Kresge) is a well-known mentalist who became famous in the 1970s. From 1971-1975, CTV Network (which was also involved in producing Cold Squad) ran the show The Amazing World of Kreskin.
Ali McCormick: I googled you. This is a reference to the on-line search engine, Google. To 'google' someone means to do a search on them on the Internet.

As the prototype for 'Cold Case', this show created a female detective with a gnarly support team specializing in solving unsolved mysteries from years gone by.

|Reviews for Drabble Collection
| blackdachshund chapter 21 . 8/7/2013
For some reason, I was suddenly reminded of a fanfic about Ace's devil fruit power (painful sex)... hahahahha
| Sano chapter 28 . 1/21/2013
I almost cried when Hiei stood behind Kurama. That's exactly what would happen if they do ever have to fight in the same ring. This was just wonderful. Thank you.
| Sano chapter 16 . 1/21/2013
This is just so funny! Only Yusuke would be able to say something like that to Hiei. But he'll die anyway.
| Sano chapter 5 . 1/21/2013
"Whipped." Just perfect.
| epitaphed chapter 28 . 12/1/2012
I adore the last one. Maybe if you ever get back to writing YYH you could make a fic about it. Hurts so good /3
| ggirl chapter 28 . 4/1/2012
love these got any more?
| Takara Taji chapter 28 . 3/26/2012
This would be interesting to write a full story about. Not necessarily this exact situation, but one in which Hiei and Kurama were pitted against each other in a fight to the death.
| Crawler chapter 28 . 1/1/2012
I've been reading through all of your YYH fanfiction (well, all the H/K stuff, at least, and genfic), because it's been such a challenge to find an author who wrote with CONTENT, and not just tired cliches and bad grasp of characterization. Your work has been fantastic-Absolution was the first I read, and I loved that Hiei and Yukina were in the center of the story, instead of Yukina being shunted to the side.
This final chapter of your drabble collection, though, demanded a review, even if I can't find the words to say. It was simple, powerful, overwhelming... true proof that less can be so much more. Thank you for sharing this with us.
| Demented Vampiric Zombie chapter 20 . 5/23/2011
"So I've been told."
I'll admit to being a total addict to the Karasu/Kurama pairing, but at the same time...superultramegacreepy.
| Demented Vampiric Zombie chapter 9 . 5/23/2011
I got to chapter nine (drabble eight) before I absolutely had to add it to my favorites. I've been trying to cut down on the number of stories that I add to my favorites, lately, because it's getting kind of clogged...thanks for ruining it.
In other words, absolutely amazing story. I just like to complain a lot.
| Demented Vampiric Zombie chapter 4 . 5/23/2011
*dies a gruesome death*
You know he'd never let me get away with that...you know...if he was real, and all...
| twistedmind29 chapter 7 . 1/3/2011
_ why yes I am reading through all your stories. I actually giggled at this one !
| StillThereForMe chapter 26 . 7/27/2010
This one is amazing too. And again, completely believable as it fits into the canon so well.
Obviously, Kurama has a lot of reasons to want to stay in human form-to be with his mother, to fit in the human world, to move on from his old life, but I never considered this possibilty.
It would remind him so much of Yusuke's death, as that is where he got that power.
Wonderful job.
| StillThereForMe chapter 24 . 7/27/2010
I am so stealing this explanation for Hiei's change. Yes, the sword messed with his brain. That's why he got sidetracked with making a human-demon army while looking for his sister. Yup, now everything makes sense.
Very nice make-up scene between the two as well. :)
| StillThereForMe chapter 20 . 7/27/2010
I'm not that big a fan of Yomi, but this one got to me anyway. And it is so true, that despite all that Yomi can discover from hearing heartbeats and smelling fear and all, he can only see Kurama as the Yoko he once was.
Very well done, especially by your skill of actually being able to make strict drabbles (I always fail at that, I keep going on and on and on).
Perfect ending line too.

President PNOY leads PNPA Graduation
His Excellency PRESIDENT BENIGNO S. AQUINO III is the Guest of Honor and Speaker during the 36th Commencement Exercises on March 26 for graduating cadets belonging to the "Lakandula" (LAhing KAyumanggi Na Handang I-alay sa Bayan ang DUgo at LAkas) Class composed of 226 males and 20 females. These 246 members of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) Class 2015 will be automatically commissioned as officers in the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) immediately after their graduation, the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC), the agency that supervises the PNPA, announced today.
"After four years of rigorous training these cadets who passed the rigid admission and screening processes of the PNPA will be conferred with the baccalaureate degree of Bachelor of Science in Public Safety (BSPS). The top cadet will receive the highest honors to be given by no less than President Benigno S. Aquino III. All of them afterwards will take their oath as newly commissioned officers of the PNP, BFP and BJMP with the rank of Inspector, equivalent of Lieutenant in the military" PPSC President Ricardo F. De Leon said.
Meanwhile, PNPA Director Police Chief Superintendent Armando E. Ramolete said that of the total 246 graduating cadets, 225 are joining the PNP, 11 opted to serve in the BFP while 10 are slated to join the BJMP. About 20 of the 225 cadets slated for the PNP reportedly wish to join the Special Action Force (SAF), the elite unit of the PNP where 44 of its members were killed last January 25 in Mamasapano, Maguindanao while on a mission to serve warrants of arrest to two most wanted international terrorists. It can be recalled that six of the SAF officers killed were PNPA graduates.
This year's PNPA top ten graduates are: Cadets Dennis M. Yuson Jr. of General Santos City; Rod Kevin T. Talplacido of Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija; Marlon H. Landong of Cauayan, Negros Occidental; Raymund B. Caguioa of Taguig City, Metro Manila; Michael S. Giner of Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay; Kenneth F. Lumbre of Nabua, Camarines Sur; Nathaniel D.

As class valedictorian, Cadet Yuson will receive the President of the Philippines Kampilan Award; PPSC President Kampilan Award and PNP Chief Kampilan Award. On the other hand, Cadet Talplacido as top 2 graduate will be feted with the Vice President of the Philippines Kampilan Award and Journalism Kampilan Award, while Cadet Landong as top 3 will receive the Secretary of DILG Kampilan Award and Athletic Kampilan Award.###

The Doors' 1972 compilation album "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" will be available for the first time as a two disc set and digital download on May 19th. This will mark the second release of the album this year. "Weird Scenes…" received an exclusive Record Store Day (April 19th) release as a double 12" vinyl set. According to RecordStoreDay.com, the double album had a limited pressing, with only 2,650 copies produced. Unsurprisingly, all 2,650 copies sold. When "Weird Scenes…" was first released in 1972, it was the first compilation album released after Jim Morrison's death in 1971. While the album does feature a number of The Doors' most popular songs, like "Break On Through" and "L.A. Woman," the album also contains a couple of b-sides, including "Who Scared You" (the b-side to "Wishful Sinful") and "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further" (the b-side to "Love Her Madly.")
Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine - Track Listing Disc One 1. "Break On Through" 2. "Strange Days" 3. "Shaman's Blues" 4. "Love Street" 5. "Peace Frog/Blue Sunday" 6.

In its fifth year, Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival 2014 will move to a new venue — the iconic Liberty Cinema at New Marine Lines.
The historic art deco single-screen theatre, which has seen premieres and screenings of many of the biggest Bollywood classics over the past half century, will host South Asia's and India's biggest and only mainstream LGBT film festival between May 21 and 25. The festival will simultaneously be held at Alliance Française de Bombay between May 22 and 24.
"The USP of Kashish has always been that it has been held at a mainstream theatre — this is our effort to take queer films to a larger audience so that they understand more about the community and their lives," said festival director Sridhar Rangayan.
"For the last four years, PVR and Cinemax multiplex theatres have supported us and we're indeed thankful. But it was time to move to a larger theatre because we always had over 30% extra audience we couldn't accommodate. This year, with the big Liberty Cinema, which has a seating capacity for more than 1,000 people, we will be able to accommodate everyone who registers."
Nazir Hoosein, owner of the theatre, said: "Liberty Cinema is delighted to have been chosen as the main venue partner for the Kashish film festival. We believe in equal rights for everyone. It is our hope that the festival will go a long way in the eventual change in attitudes and elimination of prejudices. We wish the organisers the very best in succeeding in this endeavour."
The theatre, construction on which began in 1947, the year of the Indian Independence and hence the name Liberty, has been a historically important cinema hall with its iconic art deco construction and magnificent interiors. Many heritage experts swear by its finest interiors and call them "the best in all of India". It has been described by David Vinnels and Brent Skelly in their celebrated book Bollywood Showplaces: Cinema Theatres in India as "an exquisite jewel box of rococo decoration enhanced by a coloured lighting scheme suggesting a fairyland far away from the bustle and tumult in the streets outside".
Rangayan said, "Liberty cinema, over the decades, has stood for freedom of cultural expression, which co-relates with Kashish's mission of liberty, equality and dignity for all. Also, placing the festival in the cultural heartland of South Mumbai will enable greater participation of a diverse audience segment who are always looking to see good qualitative cinema. Kashish 2014 promises an unforgettable cinematic experience."
Voted as one of the Top 5 coolest LGBT Film Festivals in the World, Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival is committed to work with LGBT and civil rights organisations to take ahead the struggle for upholding human rights and ensuring a nondiscriminatory world. Organisers say the recent Supreme Court decision on December 11, 2013, was a big setback to the nascent queer rights movement in India
The festival believes films and art are powerful mediums to bring about social change, and it continues its commitment to bring the best of international and Indian queer cinema to Mumbai to mainstream queer issues and their lives
Kashish 2014 will reflect this spirit of optimism with its theme 'Dare to Dream', which is a salute to the undying spirit and synergy of LGBT communities around the world and the changes it has brought in. The theme is also a reflection of hopes, plans, strategies, dreams for the future and will reinvigorate and reinvent aspirations

Neil Gaiman: Where did the idea for Snuff originate?
Terry Pratchett: I haven't a clue, but I think I started out by considering the character of Sir Samuel Vimes, as he now is, and since I find his inner monologue interesting I decided to use the old and well-tried plot device of sending a policeman on holiday somewhere he can relax, because we all know the way this one is supposed to go. And then I realised that moving Vimes out of his city element and away from his comfort zone was going to be a sheer treat to write.
Gaiman: The Watch fascinate me. You get to do hardboiled police procedurals while still writing funny smart books set in a fantastic world.
Pratchett: On a point of order, Mister Gaiman, the world in which Sam Vimes finds himself is hardly fantastic. Okay, there are goblins, but the overall ambience is that of the shires of Middle England. It's all about the commonality of humankind. Shove Sam Vimes into a situation that has gone toxic and away he goes, as realistic as any other policeman and thinking in the very same ways and being Sam Vimes, questioning his motives and procedures all the way through.
Gaiman: Did you really say in a previous interview that you'd like to be like Sam Vines? Why?
Pratchett: I don't think I actually said that, but you know how it is and 'how it is' changes as you get older. The author can always delve into his own personality and find aspects of himself with which he can dress his characters. If you pushed me I would say that ever since I stood up and talked about my Alzheimer's I have been a public figure; I visited Downing Street twice, wrote angry letters to the Times, got into debates in the House of Commons, and generally became a geezer to the extent that I sit here sometimes bewildered and think to myself, "Actually, your job is to sit here writing another book. Changing the world is for other people..." and then I come back to myself with, "No it isn't!" And so, bearing in mind that these days, people call a kid from the council houses "Sir" allows me to create a mindset for Vimes.
Gaiman: On a piece about writing in the New York Times, Carl Hiaasen (a writer you started me reading on the Good Omens tour), wrote, "Every writer scrounges for inspiration in different places, and there's no shame in raiding the headlines. It's necessary, in fact, when attempting contemporary satire. Sharp-edged humor relies on topical reference points... Unfortunately for novelists, real life is getting way too funny and far-fetched." Does the Discworld as a setting allow you to escape from that? Or is it a tool that lets you raid the headlines in ways people might not expect?
Pratchett: I think that's the commonality of humankind again. I hope that everyone in Discworld is a recognisable and understandable character and so sometimes I can present them with modern and contemporary problems, such as Mustrum Ridcully getting his head around homosexuality.
In truth, I never have to go looking for this stuff; I turn to find it smacking me in the face. I was very pleased when Making Money came out just before the banking crisis and everyone said I had predicted it. It was hardly difficult.
Gaiman: How has the Discworld changed over the years?
Pratchett: I suppose the simple answer is that there is still humour, but the gags are no longer set up; they are derived from characters' personalities and situations. These days the humour seems to arrive of its own accord.
Gaiman: How has writing the Discworld novels changed how you see the world?
Pratchett: I think it more true that getting older changes how you see the world. There is stuff in Snuff, for example, that I couldn't have written at 25. Although I had written things before Discworld, I really leaned writing, on the job as it were, on Discworld. I think that the books are, if not serious, dealing with more serious subjects. These days it's not just for laughs. My world view had changed; sometimes I feel that the world is made up of sensible people who know that plot and bloody idiots who don't. Of course, all Discworld fans know the plot by heart!
Gaiman: How has writing the Discworld novels changed how the world sees you?
Pratchett: Has it? My agent pointed out one day that I had been quoted by a columnist in some American newspaper, and he noted with some glee that they simply identified me by name without reminding people who I was, apparently in the clear expectation that their readers would know who I am. I have quite a large number of honorary doctorates; I am a professor of English at Trinity College Dublin and a fellow of King's College London, on top of all the other stuff, including the knighthood. However, when it gets to the sub-editors I am always going to be that writer of wacky fantasy, though I have to say that dismissiveness is getting rarer and rarer.
Gaiman: Are you respectable?
Pratchett: Is this a trick question? If so, then I shall say yes. Generally speaking I try to obey the law, pay my taxes (of which there are an enormous lot), give to charity, and write letters to the Times that they print.
It's a weird term, respectable; isn't 'respek' what every street kid wants and might possibly expect at the point of a knife? I certainly get involved with things and shortly after finishing this interview will be annoying my local MP. It's fun. Discworld and the Alzheimer's together have given me a platform.

Let's reiterate that neither Falco nor his band are quite as unremittingly hostile as they might seem: As a listener, you vacillate between worrying that you're laughing when you should be quaking in fear, or vice versa, but that would be taking this all a bit too seriously, maybe. "I don't think that we're terrifying," he says. "Our music has a certain anger, but to me—speaking personally—to me, it's an energy as opposed to anger as such. Obviously, there are things that make me angry, but I'm not, unless someone deliberately invites my ire, I'm not a particularly angry person. Playing live for me isn't a catharsis, a change to get out my demons. It's a joy."
The guy onstage Sunday night at tiny Williamsburg club Spike Hill—the severe gentleman with a scythe-sharp widow's peak who's bashing his guitar and screaming all sorts of uncouth unpleasantries—does not seem joyful in the traditional sense. But Future of the Left are nonetheless thoroughly enjoying themselves, their demonic aggression offset by smirking between-song banter about Michael Jackson, the venue's apparent fish-smell, and some overzealous fans in the front row ("Look at you freaky little bitches dancing," Falco observes. "It's like a Red Hot Chili Peppers show"). Climactically, Mathias jumps down into the crowd with his bass to grab a few hats and steal a few beers, while Falco twirls his guitar around by the strap. They can switch instantly from playing around to not playing around at all. The set peaks, of course, with "You Need Satan More Than He Needs You," featuring a throat-shredding climactic chant of "It doesn't look like a man/It doesn't talk like a man/But does it fuck like a man?/But does it fuck like a man?" There is no need to elaborate.

It probably wasn't the most happy of Thanksgivings for seventh-ranked Kansas State. The Wildcats had climbed ever so slowly to No. 1 in the BCS standings before losing two weeks ago at Baylor, ending their perfect season along with their national championship dreams. And due to a quirk in the schedule, they had last week off, giving them some extra time to stew over what will undoubtedly go down as one of the biggest disappointments in school history. It also gave Kansas State time to prepare for its final exam, though. The Wildcats return to the field for their home finale Saturday against No. 23 Texas. They can wrap up the Big 12 title and earn the league's automatic BCS bowl berth with a win, or if No. 12 Oklahoma loses to TCU earlier in the day. "We definitely need to get back on track. There's definitely that mentality," said quarterback Collin Klein, whose Heisman Trophy hopes took a hit that Saturday night in Waco. "I don't know if I'd necessarily call it anger, but the...

Brown culls from the ages for speech
"This year, as you consider new education laws, I ask you to consider the principle of Subsidiarity. Subsidiarity is the idea that a central authority should only perform those tasks which cannot be performed at a more immediate or local level. In other words, higher or more remote levels of government, like the state, should render assistance to local school districts, but always respect their primary jurisdiction and the dignity and freedom of teachers and students.
"Subsidiarity is offended when distant authorities prescribe in minute detail what is taught, how it is taught and how it is to be measured. I would prefer to trust our teachers who are in the classroom each day, doing the real work — lighting fires in young minds."
"… cost pressures are relentless and many students cannot get the classes they need. A half million fewer students this year enrolled in the community colleges than in 2008. Graduation in four years is the exception and transition from one segment to the other is difficult. The University of California, the Cal State system and the community colleges are all working on this. The key here is thoughtful change, working with the faculty and the college presidents. But tuition increases are not the answer. I will not let the students become the default financiers of our colleges and universities."
"Today I am calling for a special session to deal with those issues that must be decided quickly if California is to get the Affordable Care Act started by next January. The broader expansion of Medi-Cal that the Act calls for is incredibly complex and will take more time. Working out the right relationship with the counties will test our ingenuity and will not be achieved overnight. Given the costs involved, great prudence should guide every step of the way."
"This year, we should change both the Enterprise Zone Program and the Jobs Hiring Credit. They aren't working. We also need to rethink and streamline our regulatory procedures, particularly the California Environmental Quality Act. Our approach needs to be based more on consistent standards that provide greater certainty and cut needless delays."
"My proposed plan is two tunnels 30 miles long and 40 feet wide, designed to improve the ecology of the (Sacramento-San Joaquin) Delta, with almost 100 square miles of habitat restoration. Yes, that is big but so is the problem.
"The London Olympics lasted a short while and cost $14 billion, about the same cost as this project. But this project will serve California for hundreds of years."
"Tipping points can be reached before we even know we have passed them. This is a different kind of challenge than we ever faced. It requires acting now even though the worst consequences are perhaps decades in the future.
"Again California is leading the way. We are reducing emissions as required by AB 32 and we will meet our goal of getting carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020."
"Last year, you authorized another big project: high speed rail. Yes, it is bold but so is everything else about California.
"Electrified trains are part of the future. China already has 5,000 miles of high speed rail and intends to double that. Spain has 1,600 miles and is building more. More than a dozen other countries have their own successful high speed rail systems. Even Morocco is building one."

How do you get 26 in the city? I am always visiting the gas station almost everyday. Saturday I put $20.00 worth of fuel and as of last night its on the red line and today is Monday and I have to get fuel for my car again. My cars city mileage is I believe 21 mpg.

A21st-century oil and natural gas industry in Colorado is recognizing that more rigorous regulations translate into broader citizen acceptance. This evolution, and the joining of innovations like horizontal drilling with long-accepted practices like hydraulic fracturing, is moving America toward energy independence.
In the process, we are improving the quality of the air, as well as beginning to fight back against climate change.
Colorado has a proud history of leadership and innovation in the deployment of clean energy technologies. We have laws in place that require utilities to produce as much as 30 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
Natural gas has emerged as a valuable complement to renewable energy. Because gas-powered utility plants can readily ramp up and down over short periods in response to fluctuating energy demands, it makes for a strong marriage with renewables. Wind energy continues to grow as an important resource in Colorado and at times provides more than half of the electricity generated by our state's largest utility, Xcel Energy.
Greater deployment of natural gas is also the source of dramatic reductions in carbon emissions. In fact, due largely to the shift from burning coal to gas for electricity generation, the United States is more than halfway to the Kyoto Protocol goals of reducing carbon emissions to 1990 levels. In Colorado, Xcel Energy has reduced its carbon emissions 11 percent from 2005 levels and recent legislation will lead to greater shifts from coal to gas. If climate change is a serious threat, then these facts make a persuasive case for the cleaner attributes of natural gas.
Using natural gas in power plants and, increasingly, in vehicle and truck fleets also reduces a wide array of air pollutants that affect public health and accumulate in the natural environment. Generating power with gas in place of coal, for example, reduces emissions of nitrogen oxides by nearly 80 percent. It cuts sulfur dioxide to nearly zero and it eliminates mercury, a toxin that builds up in the fish that we eat. It slashes the emissions of tiny particulates that can damage our respiratory systems.
The public rightly wants assurances that oil and gas development can be conducted safely, especially as newly accessible reserves sometimes exist under neighborhoods, parks and schools. Extracting these resources must be done without harm to groundwater supplies or unacceptable impacts to the air we breathe. In Colorado, we are addressing these matters with a steady flow of new rules dating to 2007.
With extensive involvement from interested parties, including environmental groups and industry representatives, we've developed a suite of rules. These rules provide public disclosure of fracturing chemicals, dramatically expanded requirements for groundwater sampling before and after drilling occurs, and major new steps to reduce impacts when wells are drilled near homes and businesses.
We continue to aggressively address air pollutants associated with oil and gas development. We've ratcheted up requirements that operators reduce the compounds that contribute to the formation of unhealthy ground-level ozone. We've required "closed-loop" drilling in proximity to homes so chemicals are captured and stored to reduce emissions and odors. We were one of the first states to require "green completions," a process that dramatically reduces the venting of methane that can occur when new wells are completed. We were also the first state to begin implementing new EPA rules designed to reduce emissions, rules that themselves were modeled in part on what Colorado was already doing.

Families hit by blaze in Makati play blame game
Residents of two neighborhoods in Makati City have started playing the blame game after a fire razed nearly 10 houses in Barangay (village) Guadalupe Viejo Monday morning.
Senior Insp. Tito Purgatorio, chief investigator of the Makati fire bureau, said they have yet to determine the exact cause of the blaze although residents of JP Rizal said the fire started on Coronado Street.
People living on Coronado Street, however, denied this and said the blaze began on JP Rizal Street.
According to Purgatorio, the two streets were separated by a wall. "It seemed the fire crossed over [from one street to the other]," Purgatorio said. He added that residents had attributed the quick spread of the flames to a brisk wind and electrical wires crisscrossing the area.
The fire was reported at 9:53 a.m. and reached the third alarm before it was put out at 10:55 a.m.
Purgatorio estimated the damage to property at around P1 million. He said that the affected families were now staying at a nearby barangay hall and covered court.

You need to re-install the driver when the kernel or userland changes. Both of these are non-disruptive operations when Nvidia is not involved.
b) if you need to do a kernel update, what prevents you to install the driver on reboot?
It takes several minutes during which the boot is frozen, which can lead to user dissatisfaction - if it works. If it doesn't work, the user is left with a machine which is unusable to them. That in turn leads to a customer service call to IT.
c) how many times in the past years parts of the userland of the nvidia driver changed? I count none.
The problem is not NVidia's userland (which changes with each driver release), but the X userland. For example, when modular Xorg install a server update, it replaces the Nvidia libglx.so symlink with a file. A logoff at that point will load the wrong library, leading to an X failure when starting a GLX application. Modular X is updated frequently - the reason they went modular.
d) since every f*ing distri has its own way to boot and own way where to put its stuff only the distris can do an automatically reinstallation of external drivers.
e) some distris can do it already, so it is not hard. Pestering the ones who don't is the smart mans choice. Especially so called 'enterprise distributions' should listen to the wishes of their corporate users.
Why are you opposed to the use of Nvidia beyond it's current niche market?
f) nouveau is not usable now and will not be usuable for a long time.
Nouveau will be incorporated by some distributions starting in the May time frame. It is progressing at a good clip (contrary to what it says on their web site).
g) even with intel graphics you are not safe from problems on booting a new kernel.
Not entirely, but that can be vetted prior to deployment of the kernel/X update. Each Nvidia update must be treated as unique.
On a personal note, why would anyone oppose having the vendor of a product make that product integrate into the target environment better? Ask yourself, what motivation do you have to not want the use of Nvidia's driver to be easier or even transparent? Yes, it will make corporate life easier, but end-users will certainly benefit as well. Just look through the myriad of problems users have going from release to release in these forums. There is a problem.

LCT3 series offers a first-class premiere for a $20 ticket
Here's a classy blind date for you: How about risking a night with a playwright you don't know?
Now in its second season, Lincoln Center Theater's LCT3 series presents smartly-staged premieres of new works by new writers. Tickets go for only $20. A theater is projected for LCT3's future but in the meantime, the series is being staged very nicely at the 200-seat Duke on 42nd Street.
That's where a promising playwright, Ann Marie Healy, offers a scary glimpse into a dark near-future in "What Once We Felt."
Healy's sci-fi vision is hazy but chilling. If her open-ended tale seems to ebb away rather than satisfy with a resolution, my taste for bolder punctuation here simply may be a guy thing.The story centers on Macy (Mia Barron), a writer whose novel is going to be the last piece of fiction ever printed on paper in a now-totally digital era. Depicting the compromises Macy makes to be published, the narrative mostly serves to reveal a strange new world.
No men exist in the dystopian society Healy gradually depicts. Something devastating called the "Transition" has happened. Would-be mothers are rationed one "download" each from a catalog, but first they have to be rated as "Keepers" by a shadowy government agency. Anyone not shaping up to a certain standard is kept barren. These lesser women are branded as "Tradepacks" who are consigned to menial jobs and destined for gradual extinction.
Subplots involving a couple downloading a baby and the empty life one Tradepack endures illustrate this still-evolving Transition, which becomes ever more invasive. The unwitting Macy's book will figure in the process.
Although Healy's two-hour play is overlong and some of its individual scenes go slack, "What Once We Felt" holds one's interest. The imaginative playwright shows a sharp eye for detail and a subtle way with conversation. Inattentive listeners may not fully grasp the world that emerges in seemingly casual chitchat.
Led by Barron's excitable, weak-willed Macy, five other actors ably portray a dozen other characters. Director Ken Rus Schmoll keeps the emotional temperature cool. Designer Kris Stone's sleek setting features a Manhattan skyline suggesting the Transition is only a few decades away.
"What Once We Felt" continues through Nov. 21 at The Duke on 42nd Street, 229 W. 42nd St., New York. Call (646) 223-3010 or visit www.lct3.org.

Re: Wonder how well you PC will run Crysis
Look at my screenshots, idiot! That is at 1680x1050 resolution with 16xAA enabled. Are you telling me that your computer just by upping the resolution a tad is suddenly going to "regularly" drop down to 30 fps!? If you are, then you are absolutely, positively 100% full of sh!t.
That's why I asked you if you were running vsync, because there's no way in hell your setup should be dropping that low. Why don't you try to enable vsync with DXTweaker to see if it helps, because I've noticed that sometimes games will actually drop to lower framerates when not running vsync in stressful areas.
But right now you just don't know what the hell you're talking about. I have played all the way through COD2 recently on an 8800GTX with a resolution just below yours and 16xAA and haven't seen anything much smoother. It never even comes close to 45fps, much less 30, and the performance difference in our resolutions isn't that great.
55 fps avg at 1920 x 1200 with 4x aa, its pretty easy to see how it will be dropping to the 30s or slightly below as a minimum framerate with 16x aa.
Just crazy. These new cards do not take a 25fps performance hit by going from 4xAA-->16xAA on a game that's a YEAR AND A HALF OLD.
If there's anyone "spouting garbage" here, it's you n00b.

Dizzee Rascal ft. Pepper - Scream
Artist: Dizzee Rascal
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 8 votes )
Hip-Hop is continuing to showoff its Olympic spirit this week, thanks to the release of UK emcee Dizzee Rascal's latest single Scream. Scream is one of only a handful of songs, and notably the only rap records, to serve as one of the official songs for the London 2012 Olympic Games. On Scream, Dizzee enlists protégé and Dirtee Stank signee Katie Pepper for the song's larger than life hook. Paired with an unknown producer's harp-laced production Dizzee's boastful lyrics take on a much more inspiring tone as the song progresses. Accompanying the British rapper's latest record is a music video, which features clips of famed fictional boxer Robert "Rocky" Balboa as well as footage of several high points in Dizzee's career (including an encounter with Jay-Z). Scream is currently available for pre-order on iTunes.

Uptown Artworks
The wild undulations of San Francisco are organized, though not ordered, in this modern take on the timeless tapestry. It makes for an attractive wall display in smartly contrasting black and white. The canvas is finished with a luster gloss to make it scratch resistant. Arrives ready-to-hang.
Uptown Artworks founder Lori Blum was introduced to vintage bus rolls at an antiques market. She was instantly captivated by their black-and-white aesthetic and exciting decorating potential. Inspired by these rolls, Uptown Artworks reproduces the signs on thick, gallery-wrapped canvas, creating bold wall art for the home, and on complementary pillows every bit as chic.

In 1964 Isaac Asimov was asked to speculate on what life in the year 2014 would look like. Some of his predictions were spot on (cordless appliances), while others were way off (flying cars). The goal of this piece is something similar, to attempt in some small way to predict what Chicago might look like in the next 1-5 years.
Last month we saw the closing of The Upstairs Gallery, an ambitious 3 year experiment in alternative-theater spacework. Now that the theater's closed, I'm wondering what comes next, if we'll see new spaces inspired by Upstairs; an UG 2.0 if you will.
There are lots of ways things will be affected by UG's closing. Here are my guesses.Read More

I was in the house with two of my buddies sitting in the left field bleachers. Of course it was quite the boring game for the first 7 innings. We spent most of our time searching for woman who our wives would be pissed we were looking at. Found quite a few actually.
We also had to sit and listen to Indians fans yell and scream about how they were the best, etc etc.
Then the bottom of the 8th happened. Castro's unexpected bomb really woke the crowd up. We were about 20 feet from the HR and I actually made it on TV for the first time that I know of. (Watched the replay on STO when I got home) There was a good buzz going after the 8th ended until the bullpen struck again. That took a little bit out of the crowd and my group.
The Hatteberg out to begin the 9th really had me thinking it was going to be another loss. Then Kearns and Phillips got on and the crowd started to get a buzz again. After Valentin got out, all the same thoughts entered my mind. I just sat there and told my firends that it would be great just to get Dunn up here in the 9th. Then the 5 pitch walk to Freel. The crowd began to get louder and louder. Then the 4 pitch walk to Lopez. The crowd is now really getting into it. Ball 1 to Dunn. The crowd is now at a fever pitch.
Right after ball 1 to Dunn, I turned to my friends and said "This is the pitch to hit". They both just kinda laughed and said "5 straight though" Then Wickman threw the pitch and Dunn did what Dunn does and hit a screamer into the bullpen that we had a great angle on out in left. The place absolutely went crazy and everyone was highfiving everyone else. Also loved the look on the Indians fans faces who were around us. Utter shock.
I've been to quite a few comeback wins, I think this one is right up there with Opening Day 2 years ago when Randa hit the walkoff against the Mets. I think that game and tonights are the best games I've seen in person.
I will be back down to Cincy on Sunday and I hope the Reds win in a more common fashion that day.
Wow, what a game.

Something all wunderphotographers should be on the lookout for is cloud streets. These long lines of parallel cumulus clouds can form on a sunny day over a flat region. Solar heating causes a thermal "bubble" of air to rise until the air cools to its dewpoint temperature, at which point a cloud forms. The rising air then spreads out and sinks back to the ground on either side of the cloud, creating a cloud free area, since the air warms as it descends, evaporating any cloud moisture within it. Over a flat, homogeneous area, a long series of interlocking sets of thermals can somtimes organize, leading to a large "neighborhood" of cloud streets oriented parallel to the wind direction.
If anyone can find an example of cloud streets in the wunderphotos, please post a comment with a link!

Latest Coccolith Stories
The tiny phytoplankton Emiliania huxleyi, invisible to the naked eye, plays an outsized role in drawing carbon from the atmosphere and sequestering it deep in the seas.
Sediments buried beneath the Black Sea contain ancient virus and host DNA.
The world's oceans support vast populations of single-celled organisms (phytoplankton) that are responsible, through photosynthesis, for removing about half of the carbon dioxide that is produced by burning fossil fuels – as much as the rainforests and all other terrestrial systems combined.
Geologists at MIT and Harvard have discovered fossils along the Alaska-Canada border that reveal protective plates for microscopic organisms.
The acidification of the world's oceans could have major consequences for the marine environment.
A study led by Dr Stuart Painter of the National Oceanography Centre helps explain the formation of huge phytoplankton blooms off the southeast coast of South America during the austral summer (December-January).
Lack of sufficient iron may be a significant factor in controlling massive blooms of Emiliania huxleyi, a globally important species of marine algae or phytoplankton.
Evidence from the Challenger Deep – the deepest surveyed point in the world's oceans – suggests that tiny single-celled creatures called foraminifera living at extreme depths of more than ten kilometers build their homes using material that sinks down from near the ocean surface.
An international group of scientists is linking nutrient pollution in the world's coastal seas to an increase in the number of harmful algal blooms reported in recent years.
