Night that the Lights went Out in TNSubmitted by srlinuxx on Monday 7th of February 2005 02:20:40 PM Filed under
We had about an hours down time this morning due to a fight between a 97 Ford Explorer and one of our old power poles. The pole lost. Well, actually you should have seen the other guy too - what a mess. There were splinters and glass everywhere. But our greedy electric company was their usual prompt self and got us back online in record time with little loss of revenue. I apologize for any inconvenience this must have caused. Thanks.
Did SCO end up helping Linux?Submitted by srlinuxx on Monday 7th of February 2005 06:55:53 AM Filed under
Here's a real nice article by Stuart Cohen on Businessweek Online exclaiming that SCO's legal maneuvers only made Linux stronger. It states SCO's litigation seemed to bring developers and the community together fighting for the cause. He says "we can thank SCO for helping to move Linux even faster from the fringe of the computer network to the heart of the data center."

This story kinda hits home for me as I now work on a computer all day for cingular wireless (formerly AT&T in our branch). I guess this is why call volume has been increasing steadily lately. Here's the full story on Reuter's slow ass site.
Linux Kernel Security is Lacking?Submitted by srlinuxx on Monday 7th of February 2005 02:35:02 AM Filed under
Seems Jason Miller is finding fault in the Linux kernel security bug fix procedure. He goes on and on about security and how security vulnerabilities are handled. Although he mentioned that Gentoo had an accessible security contact, that really didn't apply to things like the underlying kernel. You can read the rest of his article including his thoughts on how to improve the situation here on securityfocus.

I Heard a Rumor - PCLOS 8.1 in the Works?Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 6th of February 2005 05:07:02 AM Filed under
A little birdie told me that an update to the acclaimed PCLinuxOS Preview 8 is in the works and possibly due out next week. Details are a bit sketchy at this time, but it seems Tom has been hard at work updating the hardware detection and mklivecd scripts. Now don't get your hopes up, but I hear it might sport a newer 2.6.10 kernel, including patches to fix a little kvm switch problem. Of course it will include all kinds of application updates and other goodies. More on this as it develops.
Mandrake's Clustering AgainSubmitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 6th of February 2005 04:49:03 AM Filed under
Mandrake is apparently joining a consortium to help the advancement of what I think of as distributed computing to the point of and what they are terming clustering. Mandrake has a some previous experience in that arena so maybe they can prove to be an asset. Here's a more in depth article on the subject. They want to harness our cpu cycles, and it sounds like for commercial purposes. Show me the money then I say. Until then, I'm looking for aliens.

More BS from the Evil One.Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 4th of February 2005 07:56:15 PM Filed under
Seems Mr. Gates is at it again with saying one thing while trying to cleverly conceal his jabs at Linux. This time speaking of interoperability amongst differing architectures while stating that doesn't mean open source as open source is detrimental to interoperability. Does that seem backwards to anyone else besides me? This is posted all over the net, but here's one reference at Betanews.

This invention relates to sensory games and more particularly to the detection of the presence of playing pieces on a game board.
Most electronic games with `presence sensor` systems, for example chess, use reed switches and magnets to track the moves of playing pieces on the game board. These games usually have one reed switch placed under each playing square and a magnet placed in the base of each playing piece. When a piece is placed on a square, the reed switch is activated and remains closed until the piece is removed. Thus, the progress of the pieces on the game board may be tracked by electronics if the pieces start from pre-defined positions e.g. a new game or a set-up position.
The present invention uses the phenomenon of inductance between wires. When an alternating current is passed along one wire or coil, a voltage is induced in a neighbouring wire or coil due to the mutual coupling that occurs. This coupling is affected by the presence of material near to the area of overlap of the two wires. If a disc of highly conductive metal partly covers this area, the induced voltage is altered. The change is significant if the disc is parallel to the plane of and close to the coils and also covers an appreciable fraction of the overlapping area.
The sensing range of the board is proportional to the size of the overlap area between the two coils. The overlap should not be too great since the base of a playing piece would then only cover a small fraction of the overlap area.
The present invention is directed at a sensory game in which inductance between two sets of coils is used to determine the presence of a playing piece on a square, or the like, of a game board. The two sets of coils are situated near to the playing surface of the board and a high frequency current is supplied in turn to each of the coils of one set (the transmit coils), the high frequency current mutually coupling with the coils of the other set (the receive coils) and inducing a voltage therein. An element is provided in the base of each playing piece, the proximity of the base of a playing piece to the coils affecting the degree of mutual coupling between the coils and hence affecting the induced voltage. The voltage induced in each receive coil is compared to a reference to determine the level of change in voltage and hence the presence of a playing piece on each individual square. The reference is conveniently the voltage measured in the absence of any pieces on the board. This means that the effects of other metal close to the playing surface (e.g. the batteries) can be compensated for and that production tolerances may be relaxed.
A disc of highly conductive metal, for example aluminium, copper brass or iron, will cause the mutual inductance between the coils to decrease. The eddy current induced in the aluminium disc causes the disc to act like a "shield" to the magnetic field, so reducing the amount of coupling between the coils. On the other hand a disc of finely divided magnetic material, for example ferrite, will cause the mutual inductance between the coils to increase. No significant eddy currents are induced in the ferrite disc, the field is concentrated and hence the amount of coupling between the coils is increased.
All the playing pieces of the game apparatus may be provided either with an element, for instance, in the form of a disc, which increases the amount of coupling or with an element which decreases the amount of coupling. Alternatively, playing pieces of one type may be provided with a disc which increases the amount of coupling whilst playing pieces of a different type may be provided with discs which decrease the coupling. The latter embodiment means that it is possible to differentiate between the different types of playing pieces, as well as detecting the presence of a playing piece on a playing square.
It is particularly advantageous to be able to differentiate between the types of playing pieces when the game involves one type of playing piece replacing another on a playing area, for example in the game of chess when a playing piece of one type takes a playing piece of another. If the playing pieces of each type are identical, the apparatus may not sense such a move, which may involve a playing piece of one type being slid across a playing surface to push a playing piece of another type off a playing area. If the sensing range of the apparatus is relatively large, the system may continually see a playing piece on the playing area, even though a piece of one type has been replaced by a piece of another type. Having different materials in the bases of different types of pieces will overcome this problem, since the playing piece is seen to change, for example from black to white. Additionally, the different discs have opposite effects on the magnetic field, and therefore may cancel each other out in a sliding take.
Alternatively, in order to detect such a sliding move without distinguishing between piece types, the centre portion of the discs in each playing piece may be removed to provide annular rings of conductive material. The difference in sensing range between a disc and a ring of the same diameter is minimal as the flux lines affected by a disc and a ring are similar when either is placed generally over the overlap area between the two coils beneath a discrete playing area. However, when only a portion of a ring is above the overlap area, the flux lines are less effected compared with a similarly placed piece having a disc in its base. Thus a change in the flux lines is clearly detected when two playing pieces having rings in their bases are placed close to each other on a discrete playing area.
Preferably the coils are wound so that each adjacent square has magnetic flux in opposite directions. This results in both low electromagnetic emission and low sensitivity to external fields. The two sets of coils are typically arranged at right angles to each other, the overlap of the coils being symmetrical within each square.
The electronics required to provide the high frequency current to the coils preferably comprises a drive oscillator, an Automatic Level Control (ALC) to stabilise the amplitude of the oscillations and a multiplexer to select the transmit coil to which the current is to be supplied.
The electronics required to detect and compare the voltage of the receive coils with the reference voltage preferably comprises a multiplexer to select the receive coil, a preamplifier, a synchronous detector, an integrator and a comparator. The preamplifier amplifies the difference between the selected receive coil voltage and the reference voltage. Suitably an offset digital to analogue converter (D-A) provides an adjustable fraction of the high frequency drive signal to the receive circuits, to act as a reference. As noted above, the reference is normally the voltage measured for each square when no playing pieces are present on the board, but alternatively it may be a fixed voltage. If a measured reference is used, the offset D-A setting that just compensates the coupling factor, is found and saved for each square, by using a successive approximation algorithm and by examining the comparator output. In use, again for each of the squares in turn, the corresponding offset D-A setting saved previously is applied to the reference input of the preamplifier. The comparator output will indicate the presence or absence of a piece and also, if different materials are used in the bases of different types of pieces, the type of piece.
It is desirable to provide an additional offset to the measured reference voltage, so that a piece is only detected once the induced voltage in the receive coils exceeds the off-set voltage reference. This allows for any fluctuations which may occur within the system, when a piece is not present on the playing square, and reduces the possibility of false detection of a piece. This additional offset to the value applied to the offset D-A sets the sensing range of the system.
If the apparatus is to distinguish between the pieces, it is preferable to provide two offset reference voltages, preferably one above and one below the reference voltage measured when no pieces are present on the board. This means for a piece of one type to be detected, the induced voltage has to rise above the higher offset reference voltage, and for a piece of a different type to be detected, the induced voltage has to fall below the lower off-set reference voltage.
In the operation of the preferred embodiment of the invention the oscillator supplies the drive current, via a multiplexer, to a selected transmit coil. One of the receive coils, selected by a receive multiplexer, is connected to the preamplifier. The preamplifier amplifies and filters the difference between the receive coil voltage and a variable reference provided by the offset D-A, and the signal is then fed to the synchronous detector where it is multiplied by a reference signal from the oscillator. An imbalance current is produced and its sign is determined using an integrator and comparator. The sign of the imbalance current will depend upon the material in the base of the playing piece. For example, if a disc of aluminium is used, the imbalance current will be of one sign whereas if a ferrite disc is used, the imbalance current will be of the opposite sign. If no piece is present no significant imbalance current is produced.
Since a synchronous detector is used, the sensitivity bandwidth of the measuring circuit is accurately centred on the oscillator frequency. The noise bandwidth is determined by the integration time of the integrator. The effects of sensitivity of the synchronous detector to out of band signals (e.g. harmonics of the oscillator frequency) are minimized by the tuned circuit in the preamplifier.
In order to increase the drive current supplied, without significant increase in the power consumed, each transmit coil may have an associated tuned circuit or may have an individual transformer in order to match the impedances of the drive current supply circuit and the transmit coil.
The drive oscillator may comprise a number of transformers that are used to provide a large, sine-wave drive current to the transmit coils. Alternatively, discrete transistors or an integrated circuit may be used to achieve a high drive current whilst keeping the power consumption low. This latter embodiment does not provide a continuous sine-wave drive, but discrete current pulses that have the form of a half-cycle of a sine-wave. This is acceptable since it has adequate power at the frequencies of interest but does not cause excessive radiation.
If a pulsed drive current is used, it is necessary to offset the signal from the receive coils by a variable signal of opposite sign. Such a signal can be obtained by differentiating the current drive pulse and has the form of a full cycle of a sine wave. Further, this may be thresholded and used as a signal to sample the preamplifier output to give determination of the presence, absence or type of piece. Because of noise, one sample is inadequate for reliable sensing and an averaged result is needed. This can be achieved simply by counting the number of times a positive result is obtained against the number of negative results over a sampling period.
For this alternative system, many of the functions can be implemented digitally, even the provision of an off-setting signal. A variable dc signal may be used as a power source for a pulse generator circuit that synthesises the offset signal with a similar waveshape to that of the receive signal, but of amplitude determined by the dc voltage. Such an adjustable dc voltage may be provided by conventional means. All of the digital functions may be implemented on a single IC, which may result in a less expensive apparatus.

FIG. 2 shows detail of the winding and dimensions of the coils;
FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of a winding frame;
FIG. 3A is a section on the line A--A of FIG. 3;
FIG. 4 shows detail of the winding frame of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of a winding frame;
FIG. 6 shows detail of the winding frame of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is an electronic circuit suitable for use with the invention.
As shown in FIG. 1 a sensory game has a playing board 1, the surface of which is provided with a number of defined playing areas 2, for example the squares on a chess or draughts board, and a number of playing pieces 3, the bases of which are provided with an element 4. All the playing pieces of the apparatus may have a disc of the same type of material in their base, for example aluminium, or playing pieces of different types may have different materials in their bases, for example in the game of Chess, black pieces may be provided with a disc of aluminium whilst the white pieces have a disc of ferrite in their bases.
A matrix of coils 5,6 is provided close to the surface of the board 1, the coils being arranged so that each adjacent square 2 is wound in opposite directions. The conductors from one set of coils, the transmit coils 5 should not run alongside the conductors from the other set of coils, the receive coils 6.
A suitable winding pattern for the coils is shown in FIG. 2. The optimum area of overlap A of a transmit coil 5 and a receive coil 6 is 1/9-1/4 of the area of a playing area 2. In the case of a square playing area, the side of the overlap is 1/3-1/2 of the width of the square.
During construction of the game board 1, it is necessary to hold the wires in their correct lateral positions and also as close to the playing surface as possible. Winding of the wire can be done either by hand or machine.
FIG. 2 shows one embodiment in which the coils 5,6 are formed by winding a wire 7 around the pins of a jig. The wire is then laminated between two adhesive covered sheets (not shown) and the whole assembly removed from the pin jig.
This method achieves both lateral position precision, owing to the pin jig and vertical precision from the laminating process. The component cost is low but the sheet handling and laminating is difficult to automate.
An alternative method is to mould or fabricate a winding frame 8 that has features 9 around which the wire can be wound (see FIG. 3). After it is wound, the frame 8 can be incorporated into the playing board of the game. A wire termination i.e. a connector to the main PCB, may be made as part of the frame.
A cheaper alternative is to fabricate a winding frame from plastic sheet, for example 300 micron polypropylene. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 a frame 10 is made by punching a pattern of tabs 11 in a sheet of plastic 12. The tabs are then formed, using either pressure alone or together with heat, to bring them out of the plane of the sheet 12. Once formed the tabs 11 act as winding features. The wire 13 is laid close to the surface of the sheet 12 and is pulled tightly around each tab in order to hold the wire securely in both the lateral and the vertical directions.
FIG. 7 shows the electronics necessary for analyzing the results from the game board and will now be described further.
The drive oscillator 14 provides a maximum low distortion AC drive current to the transmit coils 5 by using a tuned drive where the major power loss is in the multiplexer 15 resistance. A tuned circuit 16 is formed from T1 primary, C3 and C4. The circuit through C3 is completed via the multiplexer, the selected transmit coil and C1. A feedback winding on T1 alternately cuts off TR1 and TR2, causing oscillation. These transistors are a differential pair with AC emitter coupling to guarantee startup. The current through the transistors is determined by the Automatic Level Control (ALC) circuit around TR3 which stabilises the oscillation amplitude.
The offset D-A 16 has a series of CMOS gates, IC3, which have a small AC voltage applied to their Vss pin, but none to their Vdd pin. Their outputs connect to a R-2R ladder so that as they change, not only is there a corresponding DC voltage at the output of the ladder, but also an AC signal whose amplitude varies accordingly. The ladder output is added to a fixed proportion of the Vss signal to give an offset signal adjustable by about �20% of nominal. If the apparatus is to distinguish between playing pieces, by virtue of the different effect of different metals in the bases of the playing pieces, two offset signals are needed, adjusted by about +20% or -20% of nominal respectively. This range compensates for variations in the coil coupling resulting from manufacturing tolerances and the movement of batteries under the playing surface.
The input transistor TR4 of the preamplifier 17 is used in a differential mode, amplifying the difference between the coil signal and that from the offset D-A. Further amplification and filtering is done by TR5 and T2 primary with C10. This tuned circuit operates a moderate Q (about 20), determined by the input impedance of TR8. It rejects most low and high frequency noise.
The synchronous detector is a conventional arrangement using a commutating emitter coupled pair to divert the signal current from TR8 into alternate load resistors R51 and R53. The reference signal comes from the oscillator so the output corresponds to the in-phase component of the received signal, a positive or negative imbalance current being produced depending on the sign of the in-phase component of the input signal. The detector 18 is sensitive to input signals at the harmonics of this reference signal, but these are removed by the tuned circuit in the preamplifier 17.
The imbalance current from the detector is then applied to a conventional integrator 19. After the AC signal conditions have stabilised, the integrator 19 output ramps according to the sign of the imbalance current. After an appropriate delay to allow for averaging of noise signals, the sign of the integrator 19 outputs shows the comparison of the induced voltage against the offset D-A setting. The sign will depend upon the material present in the base of the playing pieces and the apparatus can therefore be used either merely to detect the presence of a playing piece on a playing square or, as described previously, distinguish between types of playing pieces on a playing square, one type of playing piece producing a positive output from the integrator and one type of playing piece resulting in a negative output. The integrator 19 reference voltage varies with the voltage at R50, so it is necessary to apply it to the comparator 20 reference as well. A reset switch K5 is provided for the comparator to remove the capacitor charge resulting from the previous measurement. This is not essential but does speed up the measurement.
The game is operated in two modes, reference and run. In the reference mode each of the chess squares are selected in turn by the multiplexers. For each square, using a successive approximation algorithm and by examining the comparator output, the offset D-A setting that just compensates the coupling factor is found and saved. In run mode, again for each of the squares in turn, the corresponding offset D-A setting measured during the reference mode, together with an additional offset, is applied to the preamplifier 17. The comparator 20 output thus indicates the presence or absence of a piece, and the type of playing piece if desired. Reference mode can optionally be subsumed by factory settings, leaving the end user with run mode only.

Martha Carrier was one of the first women to be accused, tried and hanged as a witch in Salem , Massachusetts . Like her mother, young Sarah Carrier is bright and willful, openly challenging the small, brutal world in which they live. Often at odds with one another, mother and daughter are forced to stand together against the escalating hysteria of the trials and the superstitious tyranny that led to the torture and imprisonment of more than 200 people accused of witchcraft. This is the story of Martha's courageous defiance and ultimate death, as told by the daughter who survived.
Kathleen Kent is a tenth generation descendent of Martha Carrier. She paints a haunting portrait, not just of Puritan New England, but also of one family's deep and abiding love in the face of fear and persecution.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Kathleen Kent lives in Dallas with her husband and son. THE HERETIC'S DAUGHTER is her first novel.From AudioFile:
Mare Winningham starts by expressing young Sarah Carrier's dislike for her harsh mother and stern father. Then a pox comes to their late-seventeenth-century farm near Salem, Massachusetts, and Sarah is removed to the lively home of her aunt. Winningham lets us hear the tenderness in Sarah's voice as she warms to cheerier surroundings. Winningham's portrayal of Sarah's hostility on homecoming is sharpened with preadolescent indignation and judgment. Gradually, Winningham's tones change as Sarah becomes bitter and protective when her mother is accused of witchcraft. Powerful descriptions of 9-year-old Sarah's time in prison are depicted well by the fear, anger, and repulsion Winningham projects into her reading. Author Kent, a tenth-generation descendent of Martha Carrier, who was hanged as a witch in 1692, has an accurate vision for time and place, equaled by Winningham's narration. S.W.

Logos Quiz Level 12 Answers:
Find All Logos Quiz Answers here.
Please scroll down to see hints for each logo.
Logos Quiz by AticoD is a game app programmed for the ipad, iphone & ipod, that asks players to take a look at partially complete manufacturer logos and guess the companies' names. The app contains nine different levels – 34 brand logo in the beginning level and 76 brand logo in all of the remaining levels in the game. With every two correct guesses, you'll get the opportunity to uncover 1 hint from the game. These hints will bring you to the correct correct responses. I worked a few days on posting the hints of all company logos of all of the levels, just so I can post them on this site for all our visitors' benefit (i.e. in cases where someone happens to type a hint into the search engines in order to find the associated brand name). Please scroll further down on every answers post if you want to read the hints. When you are spelling out your responses, disregard the case of each letter because Logos Quiz is not case sensitive. Further, totally ignore any symbols and punctuations that a company name may have, because this game will just ignore those too.
I made multiple posts for every level, with just one screen shot per post, to make pages load better for you. In case these answers have made things easier for you, if possible consider sharing this site in facebook/twitter, and/or giving this post a google +1. Thanks for visiting this site and enjoy your ipad or iphone or ipod!

I need to write something sad about my precious Kabuto… so I hope this works… The song in the beginning is by Evanescence, its my all time favorite and if you could find the music to listen to while reading it would really set the mood for you, if you get my drift. I could only listen to this song by going to and watching music videos with this song in it, but that might take a while if you don't have Dsl… so you might just search for it but the story really is good without it… Here's the url: http/ not too happy about this pairing though and I won't say I support it either. I just needed to write something.
please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for
my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
And if I
bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Even though I'm the
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
"This isn't the way things were supposed to turn out!" Shizune yelled to the sky. Rain poured over her, washing the blood down her face, soaking through her clothes and freezing her to the bone, but that didn't even matter anyone. She didn't care about being cold, or hurt anymore. Looking down, eyes filled with sadness, tears mixing with the rain and blood, she stared down at the bleeding figure in her arms.
"This wasn't supposed to happen to you…" she moaned though her sobs, her black hair falling over her face.
"You'll be alright," she began, her own words a vague attempt to provide comfort to herself, but her pleas were in vain. This pain was unbearable. Crimson soaked into the mud, seeping all the life from the once powerful man lying like a rag doll in her trembling amrs.
"You can't die, not like this!" she cried like a child, no one to comfort her in this world of evil and black.
"All my life, I never thought I'd be happy, and I was, but now," the pouring rain drowned her voice out, her cries mixing with the thunder as it banged. Lightning flashed through the dark sky.
"Dying isn't an option!" She wailed, hugging the figure close, feeling his blood rushing down her as she embraced him. When hugging someone, you're supposed to feel warm and content, but she only felt regret and pain, his cold body like a stone against her trembling form. She couldn't take this kind of pain, she'd rather die a thousand deaths, anything but this.
"Please…Shizune, you're hurting me," the man whimpered, his own voice dying down as his strength washed away with the blood.
"I won't let you leave me!" the woman wailed, pressing him tighter against her, feeling more blood. He stared up at her with miserable, suffering eyes, crimson streaming down his pale face.
"Sometimes…" he choked on the blood in his throat, crimson spilling down his lips," we have to let go of the ones we care about…to show them that we really…love them…"
His words were true, yet they provided little comfort to her aching heart. She couldn't just let him die like this, she was a doctor, she was supposed to help people. Watching him die in her arms was not what was supposed to be happening.
"I've always felt so useless, watching Tsunade-sama surpass my abilities with ten times the strength," she cried and loosened her grip, letting her fall into her lap," and then I finally met you and realized that I was useful, I realized that people did care about me, I did matter." The sadness in her voice was heart wrenching. Her once happy eyes had been drained of their life, now all that replaced that hollow gap…was pain.
"You should have known everything…" the man groaned, his strength receding as he spoke, "but I was afraid you wouldn't believe me…I thought no one would listen…This is all my fault."
"No, you can't say things like that," she brushed his silver bangs out of his face, staring into his black pupils," if its anyone's fault, it would be mine…I wasn't strong enough to…" she couldn't finish, her sobs taking over "to…save you…" tears of pain and regret spilling from her eyes, she let it all come out, all her pain falling with each tear drop. She didn't have to act strong anymore; she didn't want to act strong anymore.
"I'm so sorry, I've failed you…"
"That's not true…" the man sighed, the sadness in her eyes paining him more than his deepest wounds. "You couldn't have stopped this, even if you had all the power in the world, fate…is fate…"
"I won't let you go…Kabuto.." she wailed, hugging him again," I love you…" but her lasts words were unheard…Kabuto…Was dead… She held his crushed figure in her arms for a few moments, not wanting to let go as the rain continued. Her world was gone, the only person that could have ever made her feel truly happy, was gone and he was never coming back.
Orochimaru stared into the dark mist of rain, letting the cold numbing water run down him. His snake-like eyes peered on into the black, emotionless. He could feel a sudden sadness flowing over him, a hint of regret visible on his face. He could feel the pain, the hurt he'd caused to day, and for once, he was regretting it. This time he had gone too far, this time, things couldn't be fixed. He almost felt sick, unaware of the world around him, his yellow eyes only stared. Strands of black hair slipped over his face, though he didn't notice.
"So Orochimaru-san, why'd you do it?" he heard a voice behind him say and he quickly turned around. Just through the mist he could make out the figure of Kimimaru. The boy stared at him with emotionless eyes. Orochimaru sighed to himself as Kimimaru approached him.
"Because Kimimaru…" he began, his tone low and hoarse," when my own apprentice realizes that in this world, there is something greater than this evil purpose for which he did serve, like a useless animal…you must…" the intelligent voice trailed off, flowing on into the silence of the rain.
"Put him to rest…" Kimimaru finished, his own gaze piercing into the rain, staring down at the crying girl in the ditch below. All had suddenly became very clear to him…
Okay I just wanted to write something sad to go with that song, and I think this kind of worked. Hope you enjoyed it! Please review if you liked it!

NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 10: Goa slips out of top ten tourism states of India, ranks 11 in foreign tourist and 22 in domestic tourist arrivals
Team Goan August 31, 2013
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala get 90% of International Tourist Arrivals | Goa struggles for growth with a less than 2% growth in foreign arrivals against a national average of 7%
One golden goose is on its death bed, the other in the sick bay. Two of Goa's biggest revenue earners, mining and tourism are in different stages of decay. But the hard punch is this. Goa isn't quite the tourist destination it pitches itself to be. Why it's not even in the top 10. We at The Goan, say this with regret that we told you so as virtually all the boxes that contribute to the demise of tourism have been checked by Goa.
The bottom line and the pet peeve is an absolute lack of concern for tourists who is just a milch cow. The taxis rip them off. Many are arrested and spend years in jail on trumped up charges, an uncertain shack policy which delays the putting up of actually the biggest tourist attraction of Goa and the outpouring of garbage are the straight off the block reasons why a spender wouldn't want to be here. And then the music dies at ten and the lights follow soon after.
And as The Goan has reported extensively, Goa's priceless heritage-homes and art, are decaying with little effort to preserve or promote.
The result is this. Ten out of the top tourism rankings across the globe found no mention of Goa at all as a favoured tourist destination. Even though the State tourism department tried to counter the expose by talking of how popular travel website Tripadvisor.com had ranked Agonda and Kerim amongst the top ten beaches of India, Union Ministry of Tourism's statistics related earlier this week is a testimony that Goa has got its act wrong in arresting its tourism slide.
Ministry of Tourism's Indian Tourism Statistics at a glance 2012, its annual report on tourism industry statistical data does not have Goa being mentioned anywhere in the 20 page document. The tourism industry in India does show a 20% growth overall but Goa does not seem to have enjoyed the fruits of these arrivals. At less than growth, the state needs more than just good PR to boost its tourism prospects. What would hurt the tourism industry captains in Goa is also the fact that neighbouring states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and arch rival Kerala are a part of the top ten tourism states in India that corner 90% of inbound foreign traffic into India. Despite its 1000+ dedicated charter flights Goa shares less than 10% of foreign tourist traffic.
But then Tourism Goa was always in the know of its slipping rankings. Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai, raised the issue of Goa's tourism downslide based on the report in The Goan (dated March 2, 2013). In his reply, Tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar, officially acknowledged that Goa did not figure either in Lonely Planet's best to travel top cities or regions, nor in Conde Nast Traveller, National Geographic and Traveller's Choice top beach destinations. The Minister at the same time also revealed a slew of initiatives to bolster tourism arrivals in Goa ranging from engagement of world class consultants to formulate the State's tourism master plan, vision management consultants for infrastructure planning, to participating in travel marts and exhibitions. However all this has not been able to wipe out the trust deficit in the industry. It's a tough act for PR consultants since every seller, including a seller of dreams, needs a product to sell.
"Tourists who come here have sharp memories and absorb every moment and experience that they have spent here. It translates into bad memories and feedback which even the best PR cannot cull," says Peter Pinto, CEO of Vasco based Neha Tours & Travels. Pinto and a growing number of people in the tourism industry who are not associated with Travel and Tourism Association of Goa feel that the State is working more on pompous issues and not on measures which can arrest this slide.
Interestingly while the State faces the ignominy of falling off the list of the most preferred destinations in the country its Tourism Director Nikhil Desai defends saying "Goa with its 15 lakh population and a tourist arrival which is double the size of the state's population is already doing what no other state in the country can boast of". The question then is whether the government has a plan B to arrest the ongoing slide?
Simply accepting the hard reality of not being in the top ten, can be the beginning of this revival plan.
Have something to say? Post your comment
Comments are moderated and will only be allowed if they pertain to the story. The Goan on Saturday will not accept comments of an abusive nature.
The tourism industry in Goa has been growing by merely 0 to 1 per cent overall in the last five years. This, despite the fact that Goa was touted as the number tourist destination in the country. States like Kerala and Rajasthan have over taken Goa as far as growth of tourism is concerned. Obviously drastic steps need to be taken to improve the infrastructure in the tourism sector so as to compete with other states. It is pertinent to note that the state of Kerala has started a sea-plane service which connects places of tourist interest in that state which gives the tourist a unique experience. Goa too needs to introduce some attractive alternatives for the tourists like introducing choppers to transport high-spending tourists from one tourist spot to another.
Its a long hard process to get a visa, just the thought of the long process getting a visa wants me to give Goa a MISS and visit Thailand, I am sure I am not the only one with this thought, the visa process needs to be relaxed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Song For Mia Song Lyrics
I went down to the water , all night long
I'm putting my feet in ,all night long
And I went down to the water , all night long
And I'm putting my dreams in , all night long
And what you think of me ,I can't say
I'll take these bad dreams and I'll drove along the way
I'm at the shore now , the shadows at my back
I can feel the waves coming there , heavy and black
But I can't turn away now 'cause I
They're singin' a song
And I , I'm in harmony
I'm singing along
And what you did to me I , I can't take no more
I'll take these bad dreams and I'll lay them at the shore
The end of the ocean I'll never see
I stare out in the distance and it's looking back at me
And I'll look down to the water all night long
And I'll put my feet in , all night long
And I'll put my dreams in , all night long
And I'll put my tears in , all night long
I went down to the water

#Hyperhidrosis Testimonials and case studies are not clinical research! http://t.co/CwBVnKD4JZ https://t.co/dw3eUuT1x9
miraDry (a treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis or excessive underarm sweating) was cleared by the U.S. FDA in January 2011. miraDry now available in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy in 2013 showed that miraDry was effective in treating both axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis and axillary osmidrosis (foul-smelling sweat). As part of the study, 11 patients in Asia were treated with miraDry and then evaluated 7 months later for improvement of symptoms. At the follow-up, 83.3% of the underarms treated were determined to have experienced a 2 point improvement in the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS). Among those underarms that had exhibited foul odor (osmidrosis), 93.8% showed good to excellent results.
In of April 2012, clinical data from the University of British Columbia showed that miraDry was successful in reducing underarm sweat in over 90% of patients. The average sweat reduction was 82%. Patients rated their satisfaction with the treatment at 90%.
Recently, Carolyn Jacob, MD wrote the following in an article published in the March 2013 edition of peer-reviewed Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery:
"The treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis can be rewarding using noninvasive microwave technology. Because the microwaves preferentially target the region of skin where the sweat glands reside, leading to localized thermolysis of the sweat glands, patients can now benefit from permanent targeted sweat reduction. The microwave treatment has been shown to be safe and effective in >6000 procedures to date."
miraDry has been developed by Miramar Labs of Sunnyvale, California.
While miraDry is promising news for those who suffer with underarm sweating, it cannot be used to treat excessive sweating in other areas such as hands or feet because the procedure has been optimized to take into account the physical attributes of the underarms.
miraDry uses a non-invasive handheld device to deliver precisely controlled electromagnetic energy beneath the underarm skin to the specific area where sweat glands are located, resulting in thermolysis (decomposition by heat) of the sweat glands. While the sweat glands are being eliminated through electromagnetic technology, the top layers of the skin are simultaneously cooled and protected. Sweat glands are not believed to grow back after treatment so the effect can be seen almost immediately and results are lasting. For best results, two procedures spaced three months apart are recommended.
While Miramar Labs is the first company to gain FDA clearance to use electromagnetic energy to combat excessive sweating through eliminating or damaging sweat glands, the technology has been used safely in other areas of medicine for years. Established medical uses of electromagnetic energy include applications for cardiology, cosmetics, general surgery, urology, and oncology.
The miraDry procedure is performed in the physician's office and typically takes one hour. Local anesthesia (usually lidocaine injections) will be administered before starting the treatment. Patients usually experience little to no discomfort during the procedure and there is minimal to no downtime afterwards. A mild over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs are generally recommended for a few days. Most patients are able to return to normal activities or work right after the procedure, and can typically resume exercise within several days.
Common and minor side effects of miraDry include underarm swelling, redness, and tenderness lasting for several days. Numbness and tingling can occur in the upper arm or armpit and may last for about 5 weeks. While sweating is an essential body function for temperature-control, the underarms house less than 2% of the body's sweat glands. According to experts, the elimination of these sweat glands should, therefore, have no effect on body thermoregulation and compensatory sweating (sweating on other body parts, common after ETS surgery) has not been shown to be a concern. Depending on where you live, the cost of miraDry is approximately $3,000.
Next Steps
miraDry is just one of numerous treatment options for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Typically, experts recommend that patients try antiperspirants first (over-the-counter "clinical" strength and/or prescription formulations) and then, if needed, progress to more invasive treatments.
