The Siren's Call - Part Three
Phobos Orbital Yards
in orbit around Mars, Sol System
May 6, 2163
"There she is, Commander."
Isobel Beaumont looked toward the front of the shuttlepod and set aside the data slate. She had been reviewing the crew roster since they had boarded some twenty minutes before, though her attention kept wandering. She moved forward to just behind the pilot's seat and craned her neck up to look through the transparent aluminum dome.
Bathed in the glow of a dozen spotlights and suspended in a web of girders, the U.S.S.
was the center of attention for the always-active Phobos Orbital Yards. Dozens of spacesuited figures and construction pods swarmed around her graceful lines like insects, hard at work maneuvering the final missing components into place and covering them with duranium hull plates.
Already Beaumont could see the differences between the
and the NX-class that had preceded her. The saucer was thicker, more stoutly built, with an underslung pod containing the wide navigational deflector dish, and the impulse engines were far larger. But the most obvious difference was the spike trailing down the centerline of the ship between the warp nacelles, the warp-field stabilizer that allowed the
to reach speeds of Warp Six.
Theoretically, at least.
As they approached the ship, differences in the construction pods became clearer. Many had been adorned with colorful nose art harkening back to the early days of flight, with names like 'Black Jack', 'Damned Yankee', and 'F-Bomb' . One pod sported a colorful cartoon cat sticking out his tongue with a pained expression, the word 'Sourpuss' emblazoned beneath.
Lieutenant Tegan Webb pressed the comm switch. "
, this is Shuttlepod Five, requesting clearance to dock."
"Shuttlepod Five, this is Pathfinder Hangar Control,"
a tinny voice said through the speaker.
"Clearance granted. Slaving control to us in three, two, one, mark."
Webb sat back as the shuttlepod glided on its path toward the
, its controls now in the hands of the ship's automated landing system. "Never did like this part," she said, folding her arms across her chest, her lips curled downward.
Beaumont looked down at her, bemused. "Don't tell me you're sulking already."
"Just makes me nervous, ma'am," Webb replied. "I like being the one in charge of my own ship, even if she's just a shuttlepod." Webb idly pulled the seven-sided coin from her pocket and rolled it across her knuckles with practiced ease.
"What's that?" Beaumont asked. She had never seen a coin quite like it. Even though the United Earth government was slowly phasing it out on the homeworld of humanity, money was still needed among the colonies and when dealing with other spacefaring species. "A good luck charm?"
"Sort of," Webb replied. It's a Rigelian twenty-one dulac piece. It's the first money I ever made as part of the crew."
"Is it worth much?"
"Not as much as it was when was twelve, ma'am," Webb said, flipping the coin into the air and catching it with her other hand on the way down. "My dad always said nothing beats and honest day's pay. This is how I remember that advice."
"They must start you working pretty early on those long-haul ships," Beaumont said as the shuttlepod eased up to the belly of the
"There's always work to do on a Boomer ship. This was for my first solo docking." Webb held up the weathered coin, watching it glint, remembering the feel of the ancient controls beneath her tiny hands. "That was the day I knew I wanted to be a pilot."
The shuttlepod trembled as the docking arm lowered and made contact, locking in place.
"Good contact,"
the hangar controller said over the comm.
"Retracting now."
The docking arm slowly drew up into the
, bringing the shuttlepod with it. As the pod cleared the edges, the doors slid into place and sealed, followed a few moments later by the rush of air as the hangar bay repressurized. As soon as the pressure equalized a trio of technicians entered the bay and began hooking up hoses and cables to the shuttlepod, replenishing its fuel and consumables.
Webb stood and went to the hatch, swinging it open and gesturing for Beaumont to go first. "Privilege is yours, Commander," she said.
Beaumont nodded and stepped through. As soon as he boots touched the deck, she could feel the vibration of the warp reactor, so intense it was almost ticklish - which was unusual because while in spacedock the reactor was normally kept at minimum output.
Webb looked around as she closed the shuttlepod's hatch behind them. "Power's way above normal for spacedock," she said, confirming Beaumont's thoughts. "Vibrations are way to strong. Warp engines are already hot."
"We're not scheduled to depart for another three days," Beaumont said.
From behind them a woman's voice said, "Indeed. Our departure has been accelerated." Beaumont and Webb turned to see a tall woman with sharp features standing aft of the pod, her hands clasped behind her back, the tips of her Vulcan ears just visible through her straight black hair. The three bars on her right shoulder, two silver and one gray, were set in a flash of red. "I am Lieutenant Commander T'Vril. Captain Teague has tasked me with escorting you to his ready room." She looked at Webb. "Stow your gear and report to the bridge, Lieutenant."
As Webb hurried away, Beaumont said, "Must be important. How long until we break orbit?"
"Within the hour. The captain will brief you in full." And with that, T'Vril turned on her heel and strode toward the nearest turbolift, leaving Beaumont scrambling to catch up and wondering what could have changed to make the
's departure so urgent.

BLADES PAGE: Notes and quotes
Backup goalie
While goalies Barry Brust and Chris Beckford-Tseu play in the AHL, the Everblades signed Ian Vigier to serve as an emergency backup to Mike Morrison. While Vigier wasn't expected to see the ice unless Morrison suffers an injury, he's not an ordinary emergency goalie. Vigier spent part of last season playing with the South Carolina Stingrays, going 6-4-1 in 11 appearances with a goals-against average of 2.83 per game. Vigier was released by Florida on Friday, which could be a sign of Brust's return from Houston of the AHL.
Pistilli returns, leaves again
The Everblades got a boost just in time for the start of their 11-game road trip, getting forward Matthew Pistilli back from Albany of the AHL. Pistilli wasted no time making his presence felt, scoring a key goal in the Everblades' Dec. 26 victory over Charlotte. Pistilli was with the Everblades for the three games at the beginning of December, but didn't score. Unfortunately for Florida, Pistilli was reassigned to Albany on Saturday, ending his second stint with the team after three games.
Attendance report
After 17 home games the Everblades currently rank seventh in the ECHL in attendance, with an average of 5,043 fans per game. So far, attendance is down from last season, when the Everblades finished third in the league by drawing 5,633 per game. While the numbers might be down for the Everblades, the ECHL as a whole is having a banner year. As of Dec. 28, the league had drawn 1,254,170 and surpassed one million fans in 237 games, the fastest since it took 206 games to reach the one million mark during 1999-2000 season.
Around the ECHL
The ECHL released the National Conference's All-Star roster Wednesday, and there's one name that Everblades fans will remember. David Shantz, who played for Florida in 2006-07 and 2007-08, is off to a great start with the Victoria Salmon Kings. Shantz, who will start for the National Conference, has an 8-2-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.35 GAA and a .927 save percentage. He was an All-Star in 2007 while with the Blades ... The ECHL announced Jeff Zavatsky has been hired as its manager of hockey operations. He will be responsible for the organization and release of team rosters, including the daily monitoring of contracts, salary cap and player background while also overseeing all transactions, including trades, waivers, recalls and injuries. He will be responsible for administration and tracking of all player fines and will assist with league and player immigration matters. Zavatsky has spent the last three years working as manager of public relations and team operations for the Stockton Thunder.

5.0 stars 3 totalReview Aaron Cronan
Posted by a client
Aaron has been handling my various businesses for several years now. Litigation, contracts, trademarks..anything I have thrown at him he has handled with class, professionalism and results. He always talks me off the ledge when I am eager for a more aggressive approach, he shows me that a softer touch is sometimes wiser. Excellent lawyer, great communicator, and good guy. And the guy won't rob you blind.
Posted by a client
Aaron is the guy to talk to when you're in deep and don't understand what other lawyers are writing. He's incredible at taking lawyer speak and breaking it down into normal conversation. He's great for communication with other lawyers, or if you're just looking for advice on any given topic. He's knowledge of the film and TV business also helped me personally in my endeavors.
Posted by Les
I met Aaron over a year ago when seeking out a lawyer for a legal matter surrounding an LLC I was a partner in. Aaron has been diligent, hard working, communicative, and always available. But most importantly, unlike other attorneys that I have worked with over the years, he shows genuine concern for my plight and welfare. He is very supportive and just an all around great person to do business with.

This is very short but I wanted some closure.
The first chapter of my new Rosalie/Bella story has been published. It's called Innocence Lost if you are interested.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Emmett- 10 years later
A lot had changed in the past 10 years. Our relationship with the Cullens was mended but we chose to stay a part of the Whitlock/McCarty Coven. We spent most of our time apart and doing our own thing but we always came together for a month or two a year.
Charlie became a part of the Denali coven but visited Bella as often as he could. Tanya had done a great job filling the role of mother for Bella as she could no longer see Renee.
Kate Denali finally found her mate in a nomad named Garrett. He was a human drinker but changed his diet for Kate, though he did occasionally enjoy a blood bag.
Bella and Rosalie were currently in Hawaii before they started college. It would be Bella's first time in college and she was excited. She did get over her aversion to gifts, fast cars and spending our money. I have no idea why they decided on Hawaii considering the sun, other than the fact they spent the last ten years travelling. They spent most of their time trying to see how many beds they could break anyway. Maybe they were trying to break beds in every state.
Esme had designed a house for the two as a wedding gift. The house is in New Hampshire only a few miles from Dartmouth so they didn't have to spend too much time with humans.
Edward finally found his mate. She turned out to be a girl Tanya and Charlie had rescued and turned. They were married last year and were honeymooning in South America.
Jacob imprinted on a girl that moved to Forks a few years ago. Last I heard they were expecting their first child. Seth imprinted on Angela Webber not long after they returned to La Push. They travelled for a while and were now married with two kids, Harry and Sarah.
Alice and Jasper were in Paris for a fashion show. Then they planned on going back to Texas to stay with Peter and Charlotte for a while.
As for me, I'm currently in Virginia. Alice texted me saying it was time to meet my mate. It had been ten long years of waiting for her while being surrounded by happy couples, but I was patient because I knew it would be worth it.
I was given no further directions then be in this tiny town in Virginia now. I know from watching my siblings that finding our mates in instinctual so I wasn't worried about missing her when I finally found her. I was worried about never finding her in this town.
I wandered through the streets not paying any attention where I was going. Luckily it was cloudy so I had no reason to worry about the sun or hiding. Apparently a sports team had won because I saw a lot of human males in lettermen's jackets. Most of the guys had a girl on their arm as well.
One couple in particular caught my attention. There was something off about them. I had taken a few classes in psychology over my years so I knew enough to know something wasn't right. The male was holding her close and she didn't look comfortable with him.
I glanced at the girl's face, hoping for some clue as to whether or not she was happy. One look at her face and everything had changed. This was the girl I had waited for my entire existence and I could see I bruise at the edge of her collar.
My fist clenched. This… human was abusing my mate. He needed to be punished. He needed to die. My phone vibrated and I was pulled from my murderous thoughts.
It's not him, Alice's message said. Don't kill him.
I sighed. Alice didn't deny someone was hurting her and if it wasn't the boyfriend it had to be someone else close to her. That meant someone in her family. It was most likely her parents. I had to do something. I couldn't allow this to go on.
With some difficulty I managed to walk away from my mate in order to plan. First thing was first, I needed the help of my family. My phone buzzed again.
We are on our way, Alice said. Peter and Charlotte are playing parents. Still hidden until they show up in two days.
Part one was complete.
I had to stay out of the way until Peter and Charlotte came here and bought a house. Then I can sign up for school and befriend my mate. I will protect her from whoever is harming her. No matter what the cost.

Spain is one of the most popular holiday destinations in all of Europe. Hot summers, white beaches and the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere attract thousands of tourists each season. But with more than 300 sunshine days a year in parts of the country, this is a perfect place to explore beyond the tourist centers, in search of the other Spain: rich in culture, cuisine and countryside. Buzzing cities like cosmopolitan Barcelona and Madrid, filled to the brim with contemporary art and architecture; white-washed villages sprinkled across the south, where time seems to be standing still; and not to forget enchanting towns like Seville and Granada, where the remnants of their Moorish past can be admired on almost every corner and Fiestas, Tapas and Flamenco are very much part of day-to-day life.
Umfulana builds exclusive tours of Spain for the independent traveler. Every itinerary is tailored to client specifications, all lodgings are hand-picked with an eye to authenticity and historical charm. Our tours are designed to acquaint you with the country and its people.
Below are examples of our self-guided tours of Spain. We will gladly prepare a custom itinerary for you, drawing on our strong local knowledge and our unique selection of boutique hotels and charming B&Bs.

No matter how often you deploy your application or how sophisticated your delivery pipeline is, you always need to know the quality status of the software you are building. That can only be done if you measure it; but measure what exactly? In Part 1 we introduced the Concept of Quality Metrics in CD (Continuous Delivery) by looking at the metric # of Requests per End User Action. In Part 2 we will focus on metrics around database access.
You need to be aware of bad database access patterns right when they get introduced in your code. Whether the reason is incorrectly configured O/R (Object Relational) Mappers such as Hibernate, TopLink or JDO, or because of bad coding. Finding these problems immediately by looking at the right metrics will make it is easier for developers to fix the problem, which will reduce test cycles and give operations more confidence that a new deployment will not blow their current database server.
Examples of Bad Database Access Patterns
The following example is taken from a web application that displays an account report with 25 items per page that contains the names and high-level statuses of these accounts. The developers decided to go with Hibernate in order to access these account objects stored in the database. A closer look at the generated SQL queries when generating this report reveals that Hibernate not only loads the account objects that match the search query, but actually loads all account objects including all referenced objects in a related history table. These history objects are not needed at all to generate the report. The way Hibernate is used by the application (premature loading of all objects and referenced objects) results in more than 4000 SQL executions contributing 6s to the total page load time:
The way Hibernate is used by the application results in 4k+ individual SQL Statements, returning much more data than is actually needed for the report
If you want to learn more about database access problems check out load balancers cause database locks, when it is really the database to blame or the "Understanding Hibernate" Series: Part I - Session Cache, Part II - Query Cache and Part III - Second Level Cache.
Metric: Total Number of SQL Statements per Transaction
The first metric you want to take a closer look at is the total number of SQL executions per transaction. If you want to go a step further you can even monitor SELECT, INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE statements separately.
If you're always aware how many database statements are executed for your individual transactions (Login, Search, Checkout) and you monitor this along the delivery pipeline for every build, you will immediately see how the newly added functionality impacts the load on your database. The following screenshot shows a way to track this number across builds and across your different deployment stages. In this scenario, Developers extended the search feature in Build #3 by making an additional call to a 3rd party recommendation service. Build #3 suddenly shows a huge spike in SQL queries in the Load Stage and Production. Why is that?
A new call to an external third-party service introduced with Build 3 has major impacts on the load (capacity stage) and production environment when this new feature has to deal with real production data
What can we learn from these metrics above?
- Commit stage: The executed Unit Tests in that stage didn't catch the problem because the call to the third-party service was mocked and therefore no actual DB calls were executed by that service.
- Acceptance stage: A change in behavior was detected due to the additional call to the recommendation service which executed 2 additional SQLs. This could already be a warning sign but will probably still stay unnoticed.
- Capacity stage: a 200x increase in DB calls must stop this deployment so that it never reaches Live. The reason why we have 200x and not only two should also trigger the integration tests to be executed against more than sample database content.
- Production: 4k SQLs instead of just two is a huge impact on production. This again can be explained because the production database has "real life" data and the database access pattern of this third-party service queries every piece of data. If this really makes it into production and we monitor this data down to the transaction level, it is easy to pull this change back and engineering can immediately start working on the problematic area. Most important, however, is that this build never makes it into production because the problem was found in testing already!
How to Measure on Dev Workstations
Developers can look at this data by either turning on certain SQL Logging options of the frameworks that they are using, e.g., Hibernate (see stackoverflow discussion). They can profile their code using the profiler that comes with their IDE or use tools such as the Development Edition of dynaTrace (or the 15 Days Free Trial) to see all database calls made by their own code or the code that they are calling. The following shows a screenshot taken from Database Access Patterns Gone Wild and shows which data can be analyzed on a local machine:
Developers can analyze which SQL statements are executed by their own code or third-party frameworks they use. In this case it was code executed by Telerik to populate .NET control data.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings.

The landing gear on an Era Alaska aircraft failed when the plane, with 15 people aboard, hit the runway at the Homer Airport Wednesday afternoon.
There were no injuries when the Beechcraft 1900 landed and its wheels collapsed around 3:30 p.m., according to Clint Johnson, an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board.
Johnson said there were 13 passengers and two pilots on the plane flying from Anchorage to Homer.
NTSB is currently investigating the crash, Johnson said. He said they will likely pull the cockpit voice recording and review that information.

AFTER THE ATTACKS: THE COVERAGE; Some Flawed Information Occasionally Creeps In
By JIM RUTENBERG
Published: September 17, 2001
Thursday night was one of high anxiety on television, even by the standards of a nation on red alert.
On CNN, cameras were focused on the Old Executive Office Building, in Washington. The audience, unnerved and hungry for information, awaited word: were terrorists striking again?
Stationed nervously near the scene, the CNN correspondent, John King, reported that the security perimeter around the White House had been extended, a helicopter was flying ominously overhead, and a robotic bomb-removal device had just arrived outside the office building. ''I wish we could tell you exactly what we have before us, but this has been a very confusing day here,'' he said.
ABC News seemed to have some answers. A network report raised the possibility that two other hijackings had just been narrowly averted by federal authorities. Two possible teams of terrorists seemed to have been attempting hijackings at La Guardia and Kennedy Airports. Several people were detained, and the airports closed down. Some of those arrested were carrying knives, the report said.
Later that night, hope came on the rescue effort: ABC, among other electronic news organizations, reported that 10 police officers were still alive underneath the rubble at the World Trade Center.
By Friday morning, things had changed. There were no surviving police officers. It was a hoax. In Washington, the executive building was fine, open for business. And authorities said nearly all the people held at the airports had been released and none had knives, information that undercut the likelihood that they were attempting hijackings. (ABC stands by its report fully.)
Since Tuesday, television news has received unaccustomed praise for its aggressiveness and sensitivity as the tragedy has unfolded minute by minute before the nation's eyes. But the very qualities that allow television to keep its audience connected also leave it vulnerable to conveying undeveloped, sometimes erroneous reports in the fury of a fast but meandering investigation.
That means that the raw reporting process, normally conducted behind closed doors, unfolds before the audience. Tips are sometimes reported as they are received and correspondents and anchors convey information as they are developing it. Sometimes it pans out, and sometimes it doesn't.
There have been reports of survivors that have turned out to be untrue. On Thursday, CNN, WCBS-TV, and The New York Times on the Web reported that several firefighters were rescued from the wreckage at the World Trade Center. The report was wrong. The rescue workers who emerged from the rubble had actually become trapped just 15 minutes earlier. There were only two of them. But the sight of their emergence was misunderstood by many who saw it. Those people apparently passed erroneous information along to people at the scene, to some police officers and ultimately, to reporters.
Television producers said they were trying their best in a challenging situation. But, they said, the pressure is on to feed a nation hungry for answers, and relying primarily on them to do so.
With security and rescue agencies having difficulty keeping their signals clear, the situation is made worse for journalists. The various branches of law enforcement are operating with damaged communication systems, and at times information becomes altered as it is passed along among officials.
But network executives said television, like other electronic media, did not always have time to sort through it all, and did not claim to.
''It's real-time reporting, which television does really well,'' said David Bohrman, the senior executive producer of CNN. ''But it is also fraught with danger because raw information isn't always accurate information. That's sort of what we do, I guess: evaluate and make decisions.''
Mr. Bohrman said the very nature of live, blanket coverage of fast-moving events can be journalistically dangerous. ''You're reporting a story as it's happening, which is nowhere near the neat and concise process that the newspaper is the next day,'' he said. ''But the newspaper the next day is nowhere near the neat and concise job that the weekly newsmagazine is four days later. And then you look at the history books, which make that seem inaccurate.''
Tom Bettag, the executive producer of ABC's ''Nightline,'' said the audience understood that television was following a fluid situation, but in case they did not, the big network anchors make sure they do, emphasizing when information is sketchy. And they are quick to correct mistakes.
''I think there are journalistic standards that absolutely apply -- they don't go out the window when you're doing live TV,'' Mr. Bettag said. ''At the same time, it's not a 'that's the way it is' tone. It's 'we're trying to do our best to tell you an ongoing story,' and the great anchors do it in that tone.''
So, for instance, the ABC anchor Ted Koppel was well within his journalistic rights Thursday night to report that 10 officers were said to be alive at the World Trade Center. A woman had told the police that her husband was among them, and had phoned her to tell her he was trapped, but in good shape. ''Nightline'' then interviewed an elated fireman -- or someone who appeared to be one -- heading to the rescue scene. It later turned out the woman was lying, the police said.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp: The Criterion Collection DVD
Price $29.95
0.00.0(No reviews)Write a Review
"Considered by many to be the finest British film ever made, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (The Red Shoes), is a stirring masterpiece like no other. Roger Livesey dynamically embodies outmoded English militarism as the indelible General Clive Candy, who barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history (1902 to 1942) only to see the world change irrevocably before his eyes. Anton Walbrook (The Red Shoes) and Deborah Kerr (Black Narcissus) provide unforgettable support, he as a German enemy turned lifelong friend of Blimp's and she as young women of three consecutive generations - a socially committed governess, a sweet-souled war nurse,and a modern-thinking army driver - who inspire him. Colonel Blimp is both moving and slyly satirical, an incomparable film about war, love, aging, and obsolescence shot in gorgeous Technicolor."
