This means that the opponents you played simply used the computer to see how long they could last against it, rather than trying to learn about the way it uses tactics. A person who uses a computer properly, should be very tactically sharp.
That's why in a later post, i added that the better the player, the less it would negatively affect that player. Better players are more developed, leading to less of a chance of learning improper style, and have more knowledge, allowing them to take advantage of a better analysis of the game.
I play against engines to warm up and mentally prepare myself for games. For practice, I prefer not to use engines. The main difference are the dubious options ?!
You should just play a lot of live chess

Pearson Sound plays our man Cadenza's night
Person who we release singles by is hosting Pearson Sound at the Caves in Edinburgh.
Pearson Sound's new one sounds as strong as ever.
Published: 13/12/12
The popular London producer and Hessle Audio co-owner Pearson Sound has pointed to a new project on his Twitter. In line with his recent collaborative work with Joy Orbison and Boddika on Faint , the track – titled Quivver – is toothier than the earlier cuts that defined his '09-'11 run but manages to keep up the shifty, faltering rhythm that's become a trademark. No specifics as of yet, but we do know that it will be released on a compilation from Boddika's Nonplus label in the new year and can point you to a preview below:

Antioxidant activity of Erica arborea
ABSTRACT The antioxidant properties of the methanol extract of leaves and flowers of Erica arborea and the ethyl acetate, butanol and water soluble fractions were investigated. The ethyl acetate extract was found to be the richest for phenolic and flavonoid content which showed the highest antioxidant activity.

- "Nos ré sultats sont analogues a ` ceux rapporté s par des travaux anté rieurs sur l'activité antioxydante de E. arborea poussant en Turquie. Ces travaux ont enregistré des valeurs de CE50 de 5,98 AE 0,09 mg/mL pour l'extrait de l'acé tate d'e ´ thyle ; 6,44 AE 0,08 mg/mL pour la fraction des flavonoı¨des ; 23,06 AE 0,36 mg/mL pour l'extrait mé thanolique et 41,10 AE 0,36 mg/mL pour l'extrait aqueux [8]. De même Má rquez- García et al. [36] ont montré que E. arborea pré sente une corré lation e ´ levé e entre la teneur en phé nols et son activité antioxydante. "
ABSTRACT: Aim The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, and acute toxicity of Moroccan Erica arborea leaves. Methods Antioxidant capacity was assessed by diphenyle-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), phosphomolybdate (PPM) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) tests and anti-inflammatory capacity was evaluated by hind paw oedema model using carrageenan-induced inflammation in rat. The acute toxicity was evaluated using mice. Results Acute toxicity of ethanolic extract of E. arborea showed no sign of toxicity at dose of 5 g/kg B.W. Our extracts have important antioxidant properties. The efficient concentration of the ethanolic extract (10.22 μg/ml) required for decreasing initial DPPH concentration by 50% was comparable to that of standard solution butyl-hydroxy-toluene (BHT) (8.87 μg/ml). The administration of ethanolic extract at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg B.W. was able to prevent plantar oedema and exhibited a significant inhibition against carrageenan-induced inflammation when compared to the control group (NaCl 0.9%) but comparable to those of diclofenac (reference drug). Conclusions Our results show that the leaves of E. arborea may contain some bioactive compounds which are responsible for the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities observed here. Our finding may indicate the possibility of using the extracts of this plant to prevent the antioxidant and inflammatory processes.Pathologie Biologie 12/2013; 61(6):254–258.

- "Erica spp. is often used in east of Morocco by hyperlipidaemic subjects as an alternative therapeutical tool to treat hyperlipidaemia (Harfani et al., 2007), and has also been used in folk medicine as a diuretic and antiseptic agent (Harfani et al., 2007; Akkol et al., 2007). The phytochemical study of this plant showed that tannins, proanthocyanidols and flavonoids represent major compounds of its flowers (Harfani et al., 2007; Akkol et al., 2007; Ay et al., 2007). Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various diseases such as atherosclerosis, alcoholic liver cirrhosis and cancer (Sundararajan et al., 2006; Tawaha et al., 2007; Nanasombat and Teckchuen, 2009).

ABSTRACT: Polyphenols and particularly flavonoids are widely appreciated for their potential beneficial health effects, like antioxidant or anticarcinogenic activities. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of extracts of some shrubs that grow spontaneously in Portugal (Pterospartum tridentatum, Cytisus scoparius and Erica spp.) and then to correlate it with total phenolic and flavonoid compounds. The Folin-C method was used to determine total phenols while a colorimetric method with aluminum chloride was used for the determination of total flavonoids. Regarding the determination of antioxidant activity, two distinct methods (DPPH assay and beta-carotene bleaching test) were used. It was concluded that all the extracts presented relevant antioxidant activity and there was a positive linear correlation between antioxidant activity index and total phenolic content.Journal of medicinal plant research 11/2009; 3(11):886-893. · 0.88 Impact Factor

- "Akkol et al. (2008) stated that Erica arborea displayed remarkable anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. Antioxidant activity of Erica arborea has been also demonstrated (Ay et al. 2007). As far as our literature survey could ascertain, there is no information concerning the pharmacologic effects of Erica carnea and Bruckenthalia spiculifolia. "
ABSTRACT: Quantitative analyses and investigation of antioxidant activity of herb and dry ethanolic extracts of five species from Ericaceae family (Arbutus unedo L., Bruckentalia spiculifolia Rchb., Calluna vulgaris Salisb., Erica arborea L. and Erica carnea L.) were performed. Total polyphenols, tannins and flavonoids were determined spectrophotometrically and arbutin content was measured both spectrophotometrically and by HPLC coupled with DAD detection. Antioxidative properites of the ethanolic extracts were tested by means of FRAP (total antioxidant capacity), lipid peroxidation and DPPH free radical scavenging activity. A significant amount of arbutin was detected only in Arbutus unedo. All samples investigated showed excellent antioxidant activity. The best inhibition of lipid peroxidation has been shown by Bruckentalia spiculifolia herb extract (62.5 microg/ml; more than 95%), which contained the highest amount of flavonoids (11.79%). The highest scavenging activity was obtained with leave extract of Arbutus unedo (IC50 = 7.14 microg/ml). The leaves of A. unedo contained a small amount of flavonoids but high content of non-tannins polyphenols.Pharmazie 10/2009; 64(10):656-9. DOI:10.1691/ph.2009.9551 · 1.00 Impact Factor

Hands down, this was the best 5 hours of our 2 weeks in NYC. Dave was fantastic, from the minute we made contact 6 months ago, all the way through, and even contacted us after the tour to give us a few ideas of other places we might want to eat at while we were in town. Fantastic.
Dave's passion...
WOW! This was a highlight of our trip to NYC! Our family of 4, (2 children aged 11 and 16) went on a food tour with Dave.
Dave kindly took the time to find out if we had anything specific in mind that we wanted to try while in NYC, to see if he could accommodate it as part of...
Dave did it again! I went on a tour with Dave years ago with my cousins. We concentrated on Italian places that time and had a great time. My poor husband, back in California, heard all about it and felt very left out. On June 12th, he finally got his turn.
It was quite hot then and Dave asked the...
We went on a northern Brooklyn, Long Island City, City Island, South Bronx and Harlem food tour a couple of days ago and it was as wonderful as we anticipated. My husband and I live in NYC and this is our second tour with Dave (as per my husband's birthday requests). Once again, Dave introduced us to places we never...
My wife and I joined 3 others (strangers at first, friends at the end) for a driving tour. We wanted to get off Manhattan, and boy did we ever!

The format was...
When I go away anywhere I always like to do something a little out of the ordinary and Famous Fat Dave's food tour was the perfect thing to do. I have to say what a fab guy he was to start, he is passionate and he really knows his stuff! The food was amazing! Dave takes you to places that...
I came back from NY a month ago and I'm still dreaming about the burnt ends I had on Dave's tour. It was life-changing BBQ. I didn't know meat could melt in your mouth that way.
We did 10 places in 5 hours and I lost count of how many food orgasms I had. I definitely recommend seconds, when he...

Dave is so knowledgeable and will not only bring you to the greatest places (hidden gems you would never find on your own) but will also tell all about the history of each neighbourhood you visit! He also give...
This tour was unlike anything else I have done in NYC. Dave is a great guy who knows his stuff when it comes to food - he takes you to all these great places that you wouldn't stumble across on your own. Not only does he know where to find this amazing food, he also knows the history of each...
A trip to the Bronx and Queens and to see some surfer dudes and a really nice beach area was definitely a great way to spend few hours. Delicious array of food presented - really traditional American/Italian/Jewish - somewhat heavier for the experience but well worth the history education. Loved it and otherwise wud have thought NYC just another big...

Welcome to my blog
I'll share my creative life
I hope you share too!
I value friendship and good conversation. I look forward to talking with you all.
For the 2014 A-Z challenge, I'm doing ficlets in a new fantasy world, featuring catkin and other fantastic beings. Here is the A-Z prompt list, with links to the posts as I write them. As I write this, I'm still hoping for prompts for many letters of the alphabet. Thank you in advance for your questions, prompts, and comments!
You can find links to my flash fiction, to my serialized story, Fireborn, and to my poetry and songs over at my new (under construction) website, www.wyld-dandelyon.com.
You can also find some of my fiction, poetry, worldbuilding, and artwork over at www.tornworld.net, along with the fiction, poetry, world-building, and art of my talented co-creators there.
If you miss my old, long-winded landing page, you can find it and the landing pages for various projects by searching on the "landing" tag.
Thank You to everyone who's supported me
with your comments, nominations, and sponsorships!
I look forward to chatting with all of you!
- Current Location:sacred ground
- Current Mood: busy
- Current Music:yes, please.
Happy Blue Moon, everyone! I know that a blue moon is, essentially, an accident of the calendar, but still, it feels magical, so I feel a need to mark it somehow, and sharing some small measure of that magic seems appropriate.
So you're welcome to simply ask for a card or ask a specific question. You can also request inspiration for a creative project, a reading for one of your characters, a guide for a project or time period, or just something to meditate on.
Tips are welcome, but not necessary--I know that often when a person needs inspiration the most is exactly the time that they're pinched financially. You can comment here on this live journal post using your facebook or via open ID. If you tip, you can also ask for an additional card, or a card from any other deck I have. Not sure if I have a particular deck? You're welcome to ask.
Free readings can be from the Daughters of the Moon Tarot, the Shapeshifter Tarot or the Faeries' Oracle. Alternatively, I can draw you (or your character) a Guide from my combined deck of Susan Seddon Boulet art cards.
Finally, you could ask to have my Torn World character, Rai Kunabei, do a disk reading for you or for a torn world character of your choice. This will take the form of an imaginary visit to Torn World and will feature the divination disks I designed for that world. Feel free to include some details about yourself to help me portray you in this world.
If you can, please consider dropping something in the virtual guitar case below! Readings take time and energy. Tips should be at least $1 (Paypal charges fees) or at least one Torn World credit. If neither of these work for you, drop me a message and we'll work something out.
Signal boosts are also appreciated. If you are tipping or boosting the signal, please include that in your reply here, so I'm not guessing when I sit down to do your reading. If you tipped or boosted the signal, feel free to request a clarification card if you want one.
You can get a private reading if you tip; I'll send the reading to the e-mail you use for tipping or you can send a private message to make other arrangements. I'm also open to doing longer paid readings, for instance Celtic Cross or Wheel of the Year; again, please send a private message if you're interested.
I will do readings promptly, however, life's been complicated lately and there is one final bit of work on my house (a hole in a bump-out roof) that can't wait for me to pay off the other repairs, and if the guy who is to fix it is available (he's trying to schedule around when his wife has her baby) I may need to spend a bunch of time on that project. I am also making an effort to be very well rested before I make the very long drive to visit my mother, since I'll be driving alone. (My Angel is staying home to care for the cats and all.) Anyway, all this means it might take a little time to get to your request, but I will reply to all requests posted here. In the unlikely event that the number of free requests nears my limits, I'll close this One Card Draw (with a nice obvious edit to this post) rather than risk leaving anyone without a response.
Finally, I want to say, "Thank you" for joining me in my celebration of the blue moon.
As always, in accordance with federal law, these readings are for entertainment and inspiration only. See my "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you have questions.

Now, I could do a bit of sewing and put new waistbands on the skirts, but that takes time and is only worth the effort on skirts that I plan to wear for something more fun than digging up weed trees, painting my porch, and pulling smaller weeds. So I got in the car and drove to the thrift store, where I gathered a bag of cool things (some cool in terms of summer comfort only, and others cool in terms of being styles I am very pleased to wear. I then came home, my head full of images of the kinds of clothes that I can now fit into or will soon be able to fit into if I keep losing weight, and attacked my closet, pulling out quite a few things that are now too big and relegating them to a new destiny, that of being heartlessly abandoned at the thrift store.
It's not as if I didn't know, before, that I had reached a size where a lot of the fun clothes I love just weren't made in my size, but that knowledge didn't inspire me to eat differently.
You know, I always would have told you that I cared more about my brains than my looks, but didn't realize the proof would be so easily acquired once a doctor told me I had blood sugar problems and I realized (by changing my diet drastically in the weeks before I could get a new primary doc and get that treated medically) that the high blood sugar was affecting my higher brain function. I am writing more now, because my brain is once again holding all the bits needed to shape a story properly; heck, I can even see the difference in my facebook comments!
I'm well aware of the dangers of diabetes--I have a friend whose mantra in the gym, repeated rhythmically, is, "I want to keep my feet." Not getting the blood sugar under control is not an option if I want to continue to be able to walk and do art and see. But bringing it down had an unexpected and immediate effect on my mental acuity that (in my mind) trumped all of those other things. Now, when I look at simple carbs, it's a lot like looking at wheat and corn--when I feel tempted, I think of the results of eating the way I used to and the temptation vanishes. I do sometimes feel sad, but not tempted. I have no doubt at all that it's not worth the consequences. That never happened when I looked at cute dresses and thought it would be nice to be thinner so I could wear them. I guess I have my priorities!
But that doesn't keep me from enjoying packing away all the fat lady dresses (wait--where did that phrase come from? Oh, never mind, it's apt enough, and I'm not judging anybody, not even my former self) into plastic grocery bags and then into the trunk of my car. It also doesn't keep me from feeling glee at going through the old clothes I couldn't fit into but couldn't bear to get rid of (after washing the attic mustiness away) and finding I fit into clothes that haven't been seen on my body since before I became a Mom. Some of those are going into the trunk too, but a lot are going into drawers or my closet so I can enjoy them again.
And as I look at all of the clothes, I'm seeing them differently in other ways too. All the drab office casual stuff that served as a work costume, telling people I was competent and serious and professional, all that can go now, since I'm aiming to be a totally different kind of professional, one where a drab disguise isn't necessary. Not that I wasn't professional and competent and taking people's legal issues seriously, of course I was--and still am--all of those things. But I am so much more than that, and there's joy in embracing that as well.
Later this week, after I finish going through the stuff I dragged down from the attic, I'll take a trunkload (or more--the trunk is nearly full already) of stuff to the thrift store. I hope those clothes will bring someone else joy, as they did me when I needed them, but even if no one else wants them, I'm glad to be giving them away. I have no regrets and no doubts about moving into a future without them.
And that's pretty cool, in and of itself.

I remember being on my first day at a new job, and a very young attorney there was obviously embarrassed to say the word "lesbian". I wanted to say, it's OK to say it, it's not a bad word, but I was afraid that if this was a place where it wasn't OK to even say the word, speaking up could lead to me losing that job. I needed to keep that job so I could support my daughter. I kept my mouth shut (though I didn't feel good about doing so).
I remember when people called their LGBT friends in far away cities to say, "I'll march in your pride parade if you'll march in mine" because the parades were mostly covered by local news, which made marching in your own city much more dangerous than marching a few hours' drive away. I was asked to the first Milwaukee Gay Pride Picnic, not because I am bi, but specifically because I was a college student attending school in a different state, so my face on the Milwaukee news wouldn't mean I would lose my job or be outed to my family.
Straight people have always been free to speak openly about their sexuality, talking about their spouses and other romantic relationships, their weddings and anniversaries and breakups, their loved one's health and welfare, and so on. In short, straight people were always allowed to be proud about and open about their sexuality. They never had to worry they would lose their jobs if they even briefly mentioned their loved one--heck, they could bring a spouse or romantic partner to company parties (even if said spouse was a doofus). They never had to prevaricate about the nature of their primary relationship to keep a job or a friend. They never had their child not want to invite friends to their home because the friends would realize Mommy isn't "normal", and said child reasonably feared that would lead to social consequences at school.
Maybe in the future, now that marriage equality is law, we will get to a point where it is not an act of bravery to say, "I'm queer", but we're not there yet. Saying that IS still an act of bravery, an act that risks the person you say it to trying to shame you or harm you (or your family) in some way.
The pride movement isn't a narcissistic "I think highly of myself" thing. It is a reaction to being told, hundreds or thousands of times, that we should be ashamed to be who we are and of loving who we love. It is proactively fighting all those negative words and actions, fighting for the right to be simply yourself despite valid reasons to fear the consequences of people knowing who you are--and fighting for the next generation, hoping for the time when people like us won't have to be afraid, when we will be able to be as casually and innocently proud of our relationships and families as anyone else, without fear, without harassment and certainly without risk of financial ruin or physical attack.

On Saturday, we went to Milwaukee's Pride Fest and listened to various bands while wandering through the shops (I got a great brand-new $5 t-shirt because they printed last year's date on it instead of this year's), and then I danced during almost all of Ani DiFraco's concert, after she got on stage, said hello to Milwaukee, and told us when she saw the schedule, she hoped "Fireworks" was a band name, because she didn't know how to follow a fireworks display. Of course, she did just fine.

It's been a while since I did a card draw, and the full moon seems like a perfect time. Also, Summer is starting, flowers are starting to bloom in my yard (I've been remiss in posting pictures here, but you can always check out my facebook to see what I've been up to that didn't feel like a whole LJ post when I wrote it. Also, when I went to Indiana for my daughter's college graduation ceremony, I stopped at the game and book store that was one of my havens when I was in college and picked up a new deck--and you have to use new decks. It's like a geas.
So, you're welcome to ask for a card or ask a specific question. You can also request inspiration for a creative project, a reading for one of your characters, or just something to meditate on.
I will leave this post open for free readings for at least a few hours; when free readings are closed, I'll edit that in here, so you don't have to guess. If you tip, it's helpful to mention that here and also to put your LJ name in the comments when you tip so it's easy for me to match the request and the tip.
I've written before about why I do readings and some of the decks I use here, feel free to hop over and check me out. I'll wait.
Today you can pick from my new deck, the Londa Tarot, the Shapeshifter Tarot, or the Faeries' Oracle. You can ask a question or just ask for a card. If you tip, you can also ask for an additional card, or a card from any other deck I have. Not sure if I have a particular deck? You're welcome to ask.
Alternatively, I can draw you (or your character) a Guide for the season (or a project or some other period of time) from my combined deck of Susan Seddon Boulet art cards. You can ask for this as your free reading if you don't ask for a card from one of the decks listed above.
Finally, you could ask to have my Torn World character, Rai Kunabei, do a disk reading for you or for a torn world character of your choice. This will take the form of an imaginary visit to Torn World and will feature the divination disks I designed for that world. Feel free to include some details about yourself to help me portray you in this world.
Please consider dropping something in the case! Readings take time and energy, and I am currently funding home repairs. (Yes, I was doing that last time too, but between then and now, the city inspector added things to my to-do list.) Signal boosts are also appreciated. If you are tipping, please include that in your reply here, so I'm not guessing when I sit down to do your reading. If you tipped or boosted the signal, feel free to request a clarification card if you want one.
I understand all too well that sometimes people don't have cash or spoons, and it is generally during those times when people most need inspiration! Don't be afraid to ask for a card if you can't tip.
Tips should be at least $1 (Paypal charges fees) or at least one Torn World credit. If neither of these work for you, drop me a message and we'll work something out.
You can get a private reading if you tip; I'll send the reading to the e-mail you use for tipping or you can send a private message to make other arrangements. I'm also open to doing longer paid readings, for instance Celtic Cross or Wheel of the Year; again, please send a private message if you're interested.
I will do readings promptly, but I irritated the degenerative tendon disease in my right shoulder and intermittently typing hurts, so if I get a lot of requests I may need to rest the arm, and if so it may take a little time. I will reply to all requests. If the number of requests nears my limits, I'll close this One Card Draw rather than risk leaving anyone without a response.
Thank you!
As always, in accordance with federal law, these readings are for entertainment and inspiration only. See my "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you have questions.

The filker thing is a sore point for me. There are fan writer, fanzine, and fan artist categories, after all. Why are fan musicians ignored? But it's more than that, really.
Like I said, I used to do fanzines. I stopped--and I can pinpoint when, in retrospect. It's when all the "friends" I had who thought fan writing was a big deal not only were unwilling to support a filk Hugo, but they were really nasty about it. Laughing in my face was the least of it. It was like getting a series of slaps in the face, though actual hands weren't swung. It made me flinch away from those people, and focus my energy in areas of fandom where I wasn't being ridiculed and belittled.
Still, the dream remains. Someday, maybe, if I get good enough, I might win a Hugo. It's a very long term dream--not a goal, really; for a lot of reasons, but mostly in my mind, "goals" is a label for things that are more in my control. But still, the Hugo is one of the markers high on the speculative fiction mountain, and knowing it's up there helps keep me focused on writing and learning skills to keep climbing toward my goals.
In the last year, that dream has seemed a little more real to me than before, not because I was doing anything different, but because for once the Hugos weren't dominated by people who happened to be heterosexual white men. Over and over I've seen the hype (in Hugos and elsewhere) go mostly to men, despite the huge number of very talented women in the field. Even back when I was talking about a filk Hugo, there was a distinctly misogynistic aspect to the comments people made to my face. I can only imagine what they were saying behind my back.
So this whole "sad/rabid puppy slate" thing feels just like another set of slaps in the face. Not only are these "puppies" unwilling to welcome people like me into the fold, they chose to to reach out to people known for trollery and death threats to try to keep us from even getting on the ballot. Like, you know, those were their natural allies.
In looking to see who was on the slates, I also saw that "for a small fee, you can vote". In a world where women make significantly less than men (even women nurses earn less than men nurses, and that's a traditionally female field), the fee is a larger part of women's budgets. I can't speak for all women, but I know that the fee isn't "small" to me. As much as I hate it, I've mostly resigned myself to living in a world where gender matters more than competence, but this was just one more slap. These guys are apparently happy to use their bigger economic power to further the goal of keeping us down.
The whole thing bothers me. This is an aspect of life that I don't want in my politics, much less in my fandom.
So, I saw posts about the slates and the Hugo nominees, but I was trying not to think about it much. I was doing the real work of a writer--planning stories while I reviewed paperwork and worked on my taxes. Then I saw someone saying (and I paraphrase), "I'm not a sad puppy, I worked hard." That's what led me to seeking out the slates. I found, to my dismay, that he was on both of them.
To be fair, I believe he did work hard--but so did the people in his category who weren't on the slates. So did all of the people who were qualified to be nominated in the other categories too. I do art and writing and, as a musician, dramatic performance. Doing any of those well requires hard work. Heck, doing them even at a mediocre level is hard work.
So now I am left wondering, is this guy really one of the puppies, who is trying to further game the system by claiming otherwise? Or was he put on the slate and didn't know? It's possible, despite his connections in the field, that he was just as clueless that he was on those slates as other people were clueless that there was a conspiracy to keep certain kinds of people off the ballot. If so, it's possible that he still didn't know about the slates when he accepted the nomination.
If all of that is true, then this situation is unfair to him. By putting together a slate and by going outside of the community to get more votes, the people who made the slates ensured that he will never know if he would have been nominated without their scheming. They ensured that if he does win a Hugo this year, people will always wonder if he deserved it. They are the reason people are already wondering if he deserved the nomination, or if he's on the ballot because the slate-makers approve of his politics.
Similarly, it is unfair to the people who were put on one or both slates, and who removed themselves from consideration from the Hugos only because they were unwilling to benefit from what they (and I) feel was an unfair nomination practice--though they, at least, get (and deserve) kudos and recognition for their integrity.
I don't need to mention why this was unfair to the people who didn't get recognition they did earn and would otherwise have received, had the slates never happened.
I'm so sad about the whole thing. It isn't fair to anyone, and it wasn't the kind of unfairness that's unavoidable (for instance, disease or bad luck). Someone engineered this unfairness on purpose. And I hate it when people go out of their way to be unfair to other people.
I started this post needing to express this overwhelming sadness, but as I got to the end of my ramblings, I realized that underneath the sadness I am angry--those rocketships are supposed to be fueling my dreams, not making me sad.
Oh, well, they're just a signpost along the way. Those people may be able to steal or deface the sign (temporarily) but no matter how much they try to own the whole mountain, speculative fiction is way too big for any one faction to own it.
Now, that I can set the sadness aside (at least temporarily), I'm off to claim a bit of that mountain the proper way--by doing the work, writing and submitting the stories, and hopefully enriching a lot of people's lives thereby. And if a bunch of those words are fueled by my anger, well, that's a constructive use for that kind of energy. I can live with that.

That's something I couldn't do during the last few eclipses due to cloud cover. I had to satisfy myself with other people's pictures, taken in other parts of the world. But just as there's a special magic in being able to do that, there's also a special magic in being able to see it here.
(pause for sleepy moon-watching)
So, I had to go to the attic eventually, since the moon dropped behind the houses across the street, and then watched it vanish--not at totality, really, just slivered to the point where the pre-dawn light and the tree limbs between me and it obscured it quite handily.
(pause to watch the total eclipse online, and to fall asleep on the couch, to be awakened by the wise advice that it's better to sleep in bed, and by a day's work of chores and errands)
I wonder, if I could live forever, or at least for thousands of years, would I reach a point where I was bored by things like eclipses, or tulips opening in the spring, or the taste of a perfectly ripe strawberry?
I don't mean, if I reach a point where I can't see or smell the perfect beauty of the first rose of spring, and can't taste the butter melting into my potato, and can't enjoy sleeping and waking due to pain and infirmity--it's not boredom if the body can't take in things properly, that's something else altogether.
But would I get bored if I were perfectly healthy, but had just experienced so many meals and flowers and strange phenomena that I didn't care?
I don't think so. It's a very personal answer, of course, but looking back, the times I didn't appreciate the little things as much as I normally do were all times, in retrospect, that I was sick or exhausted (and usually both). And even then, it was more like not seeing the sun rise because of the fog.
You'd think I'd remember this faster, when I'm having trouble focusing and finding the joy in getting things done, with all my experience with chronic illness--but that's the thing about chronic illness, it's sneaky. It's not like breaking your leg, it's like an eclipse. Things seem perfectly normal, then just a little off, and you never quite see a moment of discontinuity, a moment when there's a big change, it's just at some point, you realize not only have things been changing, but the change is dramatic and significant.
And unlike the eclipse, chronic health issues don't just go away. You have to do something about them.
But that's another post altogether.
This post is about appreciating the good things in life--the playfulness of a cat, the taste of halapeno jack cheese, the green smell of spring returning to the world, and soon, the soft gold of dandelions in the sun.
And stories--stories of cats and dragons and magic, of love and truth and kindness, and always, always, stories of people.
But for tonight--check out that moon! Isn't it cool?

To Ellen's prompt, Tidepool Memories, I wrote this piece. They live in the arctic of a world that includes sea monsters and other dangers. Ivara is featured in a number of other stories over at www.tornworld.net.
Torn World is crowdfunded; this story is my freebie glimpse at the world for this weekend's Muse Fusion.
Tidepool Memories
Ruvardu sat by the ocean, listening to the waves. Her toes rested in a pleasantly warm tidepool. She had a bowl of red beans in her lap, and her fingers worked clumsily at the once-easy task of separating the rich beans from the bitter husks. The stroke that had stolen the cleverness from her fingers had not taken her ability to enjoy the sun and water on her skin. She looked up to see Ivara hang a gutted fish onto the smoking rack and set her knife down to stand and stretch.
For just a moment, Ivara looked stiff, like an old lady, like Ruvardu herself, but then she twirled and did a few dance steps, her long hair sailing around her like a shawl. She looked so young, dancing with Reqem on the big drum, their feet pounding out the rhythms of young lust. Ruvardu danced too, but not on the drum, she was more interested in flirting with Firl and drinking beer. The combination made her giggle, and the firelight shimmered like the ocean, and her toes were wet with spilled beer. "Oh, that was a night!" She opened her eyes, and saw a tiny fish in the tidepool nibbling at her toes. She could barely feel the soft fish lips against her skin. "You and Reqem were so beautiful dancing on the drum." Her words were blurred, but she knew Ivara would understand.
Ivara danced over and bent to make sure Ruvardu's shawl was tucked close around her. "You and Firl were beautiful too."
Ruvardu laughed. "We were silly and drunk. To hear you talk, all new-adults are beautiful. Just like all babies are beautiful."
"Well, they are." Ivara smiled, and sank gracefully to the sand, picking up her knife again. She reached for a fish, humming an old tune. A pregnant young woman came by with a basket of new-caught fish and poured them into the basket next to Ivara. "Who was that Itakith woman?"
Ivara didn't answer; she sat there with one hand on her swollen belly, then reached for Ruvardu's hand to place it there. Inside, the baby-to-be was moving, and Ruvardu caught her breath. Her own pregnancy wasn't as far along. So far, all she could feel was a tickle, a sensation in her gut like beer felt on her tongue, tingly and intoxicating.
The woman from Itakith leaned forward, her brown hair falling over her shoulders. "Can I see too?"
Ivara pulled her shirt up, and they all saw the shape of a foot pressing out, to one side of her distended belly button. The woman reached out her hand, hesitantly.
"Of course." Ivara nodded.
The other woman put her hand on Ivara's belly and then laughed. "The baby is so—so alive!" She reached back to lift up her own shirt and bare her own brown belly, which was only starting to swell. "Will I see my baby's foot like that?"
"Probably." The old mother-tender set a bowl of fresh fruit and greens in front of her charges. "But every baby is different. Some move a lot, while others seem content to sleep all through a pregnancy." She smiled, her wrinkles moving on her face like grass in the wind. Ruvardu wanted to thank her, but her mind was as stiff as her old fingers.
"I can't remember their names." Ruvardu looked down at her belly, finding it old and flat and full of a bowl of red beans. She had forgotten the beans again, and so she reached into the bowl to pick up another, squeezing it to split the hull and free the beans.
"That's nothing to worry about." Ivara sounded sad. Ivara so rarely sounded sad, but there were times. There had been so much blood, the day the whalebear surprised her little son, Firuu, on the beach. She had screamed and threw rocks at it, and Ivara snatched up a fishing spear and charged the bear, snarling like a snowcat.
The bear clamped its jaws around the boy's leg, and Ivara darted in, pushing her spear into the thing's chest. Teeth still clammped, it roared, loud enough that Ruvardu couldn't hear her own screams, and swiped at Ivara, who danced away and then back again, over and over. Finally, as Reqem ran up with a heavy hunting spear, Ivara sunk the fishing spear deep into the creature's eye and it collapsed.
Reqem pried the bear's jaws off of the boy, but it was too late. He was hanging limp from the monster's jaw, and not breathing. Where he wasn't covered in blood—his and the bear's—his skin was too pale. Reqem laid the boy, blood and all, in Ruvardu's arms. Tears fell silently from her eyes, her grief too strong for sound.
"Firuu—" She choked it out, and was shocked, again, to hear how blurred and frail her voice was. She couldn't even say the name of her firstborn properly any more, and that made her cry even harder.
Suddenly, Ivara was there, holding Ruvardu, humming a different tune now. They had made this tune together, when Ruvardu's first grandchild was born. Varlii had wanted to travel to Itrelir, to be with the baby's father for the birth, and Ivara and Ruvardu had accompanied her on the journey. They should have reached Itrelir a month before the birth, but the baby was impatient, and Varlii had gone into labor on the trail.
Ruvardu had been so scared for her daughter. They didn't have a healer with them—what if something went wrong? But Ivara kept them telling stories and singing tunes until the baby came, such a perfect, tiny girl she was, all red and wrinkled and hungry. They camped by a small lake for a tenday, Ruvardu setting traps and Ivara tending them and gathering firewood. The lake was so beautiful, and so were her daughter and granddaughter. Ivara was right. New-adults and new babies were all beautiful.
Ruvardu tried to sing along with Ivara, but since the stroke, she couldn't hold a tune. She smiled at Ivara. "You can sing for the baby."
Ivara patted wetness from her cheeks, nodding. Ruvardu looked up—was it raining? The sky was clear, except for a few Others floating far above, out over the ocean. It must be just the surf. She asked Ivara, "Dance for me?"
Ivara looked sad, though she smiled at Ruvardu. "I will always dance for you." She tucked the shawl tighter around her age-mate and stood to whirl and leap in the sand at the edge of the waves.

Even if I wait until Thursday, when the store has a general 20% off price, it's well over my budget, and there's no guarantee it will be there that long. The Restore is a place where people donate furniture, tools, and building supplies to benefit Habitat for Humanity, so when they get something in, it's gone when it's gone.
So, if you're willing to help me buy my dream desk and benefit Habitat for Humanity, I'm willing to do Card Readings (for fun and inspiration, as per federal law), write, or do art. If we don't raise enough or if this desk sells before I can buy it, I will reserve the funds until something else suitable shows up at the Restore, so your donation to me will still go to the same place eventually.
The sticker price for the desk, which would probably be more than $1000 in a regular, for-profit store, is $495.
Current funding level: $25 of $495 (This total includes donations from people here and people elsewhere)
You can send gifts to me at deirdremmm at aol*com or use the Paypal button below to tip. Paypal does take a cut of the donation if you use the button.
Thank you!
Please post here to let me know what (within reason) you want as a thank-you for your assistance in furnishing my writing office. I do reserve the right to refuse a request and refund your money.

WRAL-TV in Raleigh, NC, the first commercially licensed HDTV broadcast station in the United States, has deployed Harmonic's digital video solutions for a unique broadcast application.
Using Harmonic's DiviCom MPEG-2 HD encoders, WRAL was able to provide real-time broadcast delivery of four simultaneous basketball games in 1080i HD to a regional cable operator during the recent NCAA National Collegiate Basketball Tournament. The simultaneous HD broadcast — the first of its kind — was made possible by leveraging the compression efficiency of the MV 500 MPEG-2 encoder.
The MV 500 allowed WRAL to provide the delivery of the four simultaneous NCAA basketball games without sacrificing any video quality of WRAL's over-the-air HD and SD TV broadcasts. Harmonic's latest generation of IP-based MPEG-2 solutions, including the Electra 5000 multichannel MPEG-2 SD encoders and the ProStream stream processing platform with DiviTrackIP distributed statistical multiplexing capabilities, are also being deployed by WRAL for its broadcast ATSC service.

Are You Ready For A Flood Of ObamaCare Regulations Post-Election?
You've probably heard about the massive number of jobs and energy killing regulations planned by Obama's EPA to hit after the election. What about with Obamacare?
(Politico) The bottled-up rules to set up President Barack Obama's health care reform law are going to start flowing quickly right after Election Day.
But how long will that last? That depends on who wins the presidency.
The once-steady stream of regulations and rules from the Obama administration – instructions for insurance companies, hospitals and states on how to put the law in place – has slowed to a trickle in recent months in an attempt to avoid controversies before the election. Many states, too, have done little public work to avoid making the law an election issue for state officials on the ballot.
But work has been going on behind the scenes – both in the Department of Health and Human Services and at the state level. As soon as Wednesday, the gears and levers of government bureaucracy are likely to start moving at full speed again.
Surprise! These regulations were obviously held until the election was over in an attempt to protect Barack H. Obama from backlash over his own "signature accomplishment". Meanwhile, there is a big deadline of November 16th looming for states to tell the Central Planning Office about what their Exchanges will look like, virtually impossible without the regulations.
One of the most important regulations not yet issued is the potentially controversial one to specify what health insurance policies must cover. And final rules have not been issued on other significant pieces of the law, such as those governing the health insurance exchanges, the individual mandate and how to define "full-time" and "part-time" employees in regard to employer penalties.
HHS, imbued with entirely too much power by the law…despite being a massive law, over 2000 pages, it failed to specify very much, mostly using phraseology leaving the details in the hands of the director of HHS (this works both ways: if Romney wins, his head of HHS can nullify those regs)…..has had years to get these regs finalized and defined, yet, are waiting till after the election. Essentially, people are going to the ballot box without all the information they need to make an informed decision.
The administration also hasn't finalized rules on how certain religious employers – such as a Roman Catholic charity that insures itself – could avoid requirements that they provide insurance coverage of contraceptives.
Oh, hey, wait, I thought Obama and his little TV and Internet drones said that this was dealt with? No? There are still rules to come? Does anyone want to bet that when all is said and done, Obama's HHS deems that there is no waiver in violation of the 1st Amendment?

That "within the mask" was what I had been seeing here in North America FM broadcasters...
...and Bill and Simon have the point to expand the SDR-Radio bandwidth to 250 to 256K, with my humble vote to make it 256K, as it's both a nice standard point, and it also allows us to make sure that a FM signal is not outside of "the mask".

- I think that we need at least a filter being able for as much as 300 KHz wide.Nominal FM deviation is +/-75 KHz peaks, altough many badly adjusted stations use more than those 75 as maximum FM deviation.Frequency Modulation methods create infinite number of sidebands, occupying an infinite spectrum up and down the niminal frequency, but Carson rule says that 98% of the transmitted energy occupies only 2 x (peak deviation + maximum baseband frequency) = 2x(75+99)=384 KHz, for a transmission full of possible associated services, and in this case receiver should be able to receive a 384 KHz wide signal.FCC says that 400 KHz spacing is about right, but here in Europe we don't use that much baseband, let's say 59KHz only for a Stereo and RDS. instead of 99, so our required BW would be 2x(75+59)=268KHz instead of 384. We need to receive at least 268KHz wide, assuming that not a single station exceeded those 75 deviation peaks. Spacing of 300KHz should be OK for us.Have a look here:

Wait, does that mean a fall release? KSH's Marek Rosa told Joystiq, "World premiere means game release, but it's possible we will move this date to Q1/2010, because we don't want to fight with games like Call Of Duty, etc., but the official date right now is Autumn 2009." And will Miner Wars support cross-platform play between the Xbox 360 and PC? Hmmm?
"Cross-platform PC and Xbox is something I would like to have -- there will probably be some compromises, but I will fight for it," Rosa told us. He says since the game is being developed currently using the XNA development tools, a PlayStation 3 port is unlikely, though a 2D iteration of Miner Wars is planned for the PSP and iPhone following the completion of the XBLA/PC game.

We stayed here because of location: next to the train station and a easy walk, no, stroll, to the ruins. The hotel is simple to get to from Naples, and you can use it to explore the Almafi coast or the volcano. The hotel was a good value. Some rooms smell of smoke. We pointed it out, and quickly remedied the situation. The staff was exceedingly friendly and courteous. They told us where to go, where to eat, and where the best gelato was to be had. They were right. The rooms were reasonable for the rate. They were comfortable and the wifi was free and easy to access. The bathroom was spacious, as was the room we had. There are no views: it is an urban hotel across from the train station. However, it was quiet and clean.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Facilities include a well-equipped meeting room and Internet point, a cosy bar and TV lounge as well as a delightful citrus garden and splendid sun terrace. The hotel is provided with a refined hall, bar and TV lounge, conference room, a typical Mediterranean cooking restaurant, solarium with mini Jacuzzi swimming pool, internet point,Wi.Fi on the rooms, fax and safe service. They are provided with all the comfort : conditioned air/heating, private services with bath-tub/shower, direct dialling telephone, windows or balconies, drink cooler, safe boxes, hair dryer and TV . The hotel is provided with double, triple, quadruple rooms, and junior suites with hydro massage bath-tub and shower to grant to our guest a pleasant and unforgettable stay.

'Wild Hogs': Born to be mild

Starring Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy, Ray Liotta, Marisa Tomei. Written by Brad Copeland. Directed by Walt Becker. 99 minutes. At major theatres. PG
If Wild Hogs were about a crack team of anti-terrorist operatives out to dismantle a nuclear device before it detonates inside the Hoover Dam, you might object to the fact that it's flabby, uninspired, aimless and generally short of breath.
However, since it's about a bunch of guys who are flabby, uninspired, aimless and generally short of breath, you've got to give it credit for displaying a certain amount of organic integrity.
But boy, is this one lame wheezer of a movie. The story of four middle-aged suburban guys who attempt to recover their long-M.I.A. mojos by going on a boss hog road trip, Wild Hogs actually feels as though it might take longer to watch than it did to write. I mean, John Travolta as the "rich guy"? Tim Allen as the "family guy"? William H. Macy as the "geeky guy"? And Martin Lawrence as the "henpecked black guy"? I mean, if writing and casting got any more obvious, they'd be advertising for screenwriters on the bottom of Slurpee cups.
After displaying the barest off-the-rack essentials from each character's cliché kit, the movie puts our four hapless suburban adventurers on the road to wreck, ruin and (because this is a big ol' family-oriented multiplex comedy) redemption.
Along the way, they fall off their bikes, get lost, ingest a lot of insects and find themselves rather bizarrely pursued by a gay highway patrolman (John C. McGinley) who takes a rather unaccountable interest in this decidedly unbuff foursome. (In his apparent sexual confusion, he is not alone. The movie seems also to have a hard time deciding if William H. Macy's character is a nerd, a homosexual, or both, only to ultimately give up trying.)
By the time the Wild Hogs walk into a from-the-movies-only desert biker bar to meet up with the "Del Fuegos," it comes as no surprise to see the so-called "authentic" biker gang is headed by the veteran dial-a-psycho Ray Liotta. (Christopher Walken was presumably unavailable.) Nor will it come as any surprise to realize that this unfortunate encounter will facilitate that big, fat, flabby redemption I spoke of earlier.
But that's the kind of movie this is: it does absolutely nothing, save for what you know it will do, and it does this with only an absolute bare minimum of exertion, with absolutely no exceptions.
While watching these four actors splash about in the shallow end of their talent pools yields a few inevitable moments of amusement, it can also make for some patches of dramatic aridity that are as vast, empty and unforgiving as the Arizona desert itself. Travolta sometimes seems so disengaged you could swear you hear his personal jet idling on the runway nearby and Allen's most adventurous stretch involves the crazy blond tint thing he's got going on in his hair.
Lawrence manages a few good slam dunks at the expense of all these ridiculous puffy white guys in his proximity and not even Macy is a good enough actor to conceal an undercurrent of desperation that's got less to do with his character than it probably does playing his character.
Directed by Walt Becker, the man who brought us the monumental Van Wilder a few years ago, Wild Hogs is a sputtering non-starter of a vehicle that ought to make something close to a mint and should play smashingly in environments like airplanes, shopping mall multiplexes and living rooms filled with people who are only half paying attention. Anywhere, that is, you can meet it on its own terms. That's the trick. If you give this movie as much effort in the watching as it gives in the making, it's almost half okay.
Sort of.

Over the last 14 years of slamming, SLAMbassadors UK has worked with the most high profile and pretstigious names in contemporary performance poetry and spoken word, including Benjamin Zephaniah, Hollie McNish, Linton Kwesi Johnston, Adisa, Dorothea Smartt, Mark Grist, Dizraeli and Kate Tempest. This year, we have someone who is not just a Great Writer, but also a poem in himself.
I originally met Anthony Anaxagorou when he entered the very first London wide slam championship in 2002. He was a shy, complex poet whose words were brighter than the stage lights but whose self-confidence was a discarded poem. In spite of the many challenges he faced with performing his work for the first time, he went on to be one of that year's winners. Over time he slowly unravelled from that origami boy into the well-respected artist he is today.
He has published 8 collections under his own label Outspoken, formed a spoken word club that has been at the forefront of making spoken word and poetry popular enough for the media to notice again, published a collection of short stories The Blink That Killed The Eye (Jacaranda), written for Cirque Du Soleil, created an album of poetry and music with Karim Kamar (It Will Come To You) and completed a tour of Australia. His You Tube hits are even bigger than his IQ.
And so it is with great joy and anticipation of a cycle finally completed that I welcome him back to the stage that gave birth to his career, this time as our feature act and judge. He will help select the 6 overall entries (last year we had 900 separate artists enter) that will go on to form the SLAMbassadors UK team, representing the country. He will headline the showcase featuring the 6 selected spoken word artists on October 25th in the Royal Festival Hall, Clore Ballroom.The event will also feature a perfromance from Joelle Taylor, poet, playwright , author and Artistic Director of SLAMbassadors UK.
Tickets are free but please book in advance via this email.
It will be an incredible evening. Take paper and pens. And your head; always take your head with you.

I'm having a hard time finding the original article, but here are a few links that explain what I'm talking about, although perhaps not scientifically proven. Honestly, it's not a far stretch if you ask me. There are so many wireless gizmo's out there today that at any given moment a signal is being sent right through our bodies. I think it's no coincidence that as technology increases so do the cancer rates.
Here is a link from the FCC themselves that explains microwave and radio frequency/radiation. While they claim there is no conclusive evidence to support the link to cancer, I don't believe it to be far off if you understand the fundamentals of radiation. Even LOW levels are harmful if you're constantly exposed.
Bottom line - if you are wary of microwaves, or limit their use because of the radiation they emit, then you may want to rethink the use of wi-fi internet connections, wireless phones, or cell phones.

Product SynopsisThe extremity products market lacks a clear market definition as some of the companies generally combine some other segments, like small joint trauma market, joint replacement and reconstruction market, small joint sports medicine market and extremity biologics market in the extremities market. This lack of proper market definition poses a challenge to the exact market sizing, but on a general basis, the extremity products involve the shoulder and small joints implants. The extremity market can be sub-divided into two categories: lower and upper extremities, where lower extremities mainly involve ankle, foot and upper extremities involve shoulder, hand, elbow, and wrist. Shoulder replacement is the largest segment among all in the extremities market, followed by foot and ankle segment.... Read More

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a urological disorder that involves proliferation of the cellular components of the prostrate. BPH is the most common form of neoplasm in men. BPH results in the formation of large nodes and nodules in the periurethral region of the prostate. The significantly large nodules compresses the urethral canal that causes to partial or complete urinary tract obstruction which inhibits the normal flow of urine. Obstruction in the urinary tract further leads to complications such as urinary retention, urinary tract infections...
