Ifrit's TG by JackuraiWatch
©2012-2015 Jackurai
Is that some sort of Persona game on the floor? I think that I recognize Yu.
any eggs???
*wispers* god damnit nel
I have a question does TF mean (T)rans(F)ormation?
whats tg
(T)rans(G)ender, or turning into one of the opposite sex. It's usually male -> female.
Guess :3
Oh Nel, you're just so HELPFUL.
When does he change?
Dude, I LOVE Left 4 Dead!
Truely love your work sir
i hope you do more of these tg projects
The actual switch looks exceptionally good!
The lack of Easter eggs is surprising considering the end dialogue. Good work.
Is it weird I noticed the copy of Persona 4 Arena?
And to be fair to the guy... If he was playing as elizabeth I would agree no one has moves anything like hers
And to be fair to the guy... If he was playing as elizabeth I would agree no one has moves anything like hers
haha you know people are always like, "why do you always pick girl characters?" and while unshamefully I admit I wish I were a girl, I always say, "Would you rather look at a chick for hours while you play a game or some muscle bound dude?"
Heh heh.
That silly fairy... X3
That silly fairy... X3
aw crap nel's at it again. Wheres my anti-magic armor?
Nel is always a lot of fun. So playful (and helpful).
The girl characters are always more fun, lol.
Excellent Jack! And the reason why I pick female characters, is coz some classes suites the females better imo. And no easter eggs this time
nel should have bin the egg, that way the person truns into a giga giantess.
No EE? Well, I hoped to see Nel grow bigger. But it's really awesome work man.
Man this is very. I wonder what the neighbors are doing?

I have run into an issue where the plugin only lists 10 items. I can't find where or figure out why this is happening. There should be more items listed. If I disable enough of the items to bring the total under 10, the plugin lists all of the correct items. When I enable more than 10, random items after 10 stop getting listed.
Can anyone help with this?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Gleaners Community Food Bank, Inc., Detroit, MI, USA
I often tell my friends that if all non-profits were run like Gleaners, our world would be in a much better state. They are efficient and resourceful, nothing goes to waste. They truly care about the dignity of their clients, they cherish and respect their employees and everyone I know who works there really works their fingers to the bone to get things done. It is a happy place, their employees love what they do. When you walk into the warehouse, you really feel the love. I would say that in this economy, no one is doing better work for our country than Gleaners.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the workers know they are saving lives everyday.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
humble, hard working, compassionate.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
feed many more people that truly need it. They are helping people faced with the worst economy in the United States.
Ways to make it better...
I don't think it could get any better.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
the worsening of the economy, too many hungry people to feed.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

The sight of Army helicopters and the sound of gunfire created a lot of concern Monday afternoon in one Houston neighborhood. We received a lot of phones calls, Tweets and Facebook posts from worried neighbors, wondering what was going on. SkyEye 13 HD was over the south side where at first look, it appeared there was a massive SWAT scene happening. With military helicopters flying above her southeast Houston neighborhood, Frances Jerrals didn't know what to think. "When you see this, you think the worst. When you hear this, you think the worst," Jerrals said.

So awesome. I think I wept when Batman put the oreo on J'onn's coffin after he died.
Ooh, this is my favorite one yet! J'onn's such a swell li'l guy.
The best way a Martian can spend an evening. Munching on some chocos while looking through a telescope.
"Twas a good day." Said J'onn. "A good day."
YAY! This is so cute, J'onn and his cookies and milk in his treehouse with a telescope! I even like that he's relaxed a little by loosening the tie! Great job!
Oh he is too cute.
I don't think J'onn could get any cuter!
I love the big plate of Oreos he has there. Very cute. : )
bahhh he's so cute!!!

Yay! I finally have a new wallpaper.
Good to see him loosen that tie.

Thursday, June 3, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Brian Paglia
Amber Colvin walks around the garages in jeans and a gray tank top, stopping by to visit the drivers she knows, the ones she wants to keep racing against. Besides the inside of a racecar, this is where she's most comfortable: rubbing elbows with fellow drivers, holding a baby some mother thrust at her to pose for a picture, barely catching her breath in between signing autographs.
But Colvin and her father aren't sure if they'll be back to Atlanta Motor Speedway next week. The sponsorships aren't there, so neither is the money. The girl who won the 2010 NASCAR Diversity Young Racer Award, and finished fourth in the Semi-Pro feature race Thursday, could have her summer plans to race out of anonymity and into stardom squashed.
"If she doesn't have (sponsorships) by next week, she'll be done," said Wayne Colvin, Amber's father.
Racing began for Colvin when Wayne bought a go-kart. Her first time in it was at a grocery store parking lot. Accidentally, she tilted it on two wheels. Colvin came down laughing and was hooked on driving.
First came racing on dirt tracks. Then Bandoleros, where she won four races and had two top-5 finishes within her first two months. Then Legends, wins, sponsorships and time at the Lyn St. James Driver Development Program, which works to help women who aspire to be race car drivers.
Then came 2009, a bad economy, sponsorships fleeing and a quiet summer. Wayne used to work in construction, but Florida's residential housing market crashed. Now, he installs cable television. Colvin raced just seven times, yet finished in the top-5 in all but one.
Some days, the frustration is real, Colvin said. She is from Tallahassee, Fla., where there is no Legends competition. Florida sponsors don't want to exert their resources on a driver that competes in Georgia. Unfortunately, Colvin has found Georgia sponsors don't want to exert their resources on a driver from Florida.
Everyday, Colvin and her father stretch their minds to think of where the next sponsor could come from.
"Sometimes, we'll be sitting and watching television," Colvin said, "and my dad will just start asking questions: 'What about this company? Have you thought about this company?' We're always thinking about it."
Colvin's plans for this summer are ambitious. She's been offered one of 30 spots at the NASCAR Drive for Diversity combine in October to earn one of the 10 spots with Revolution Racing. To do that, Colvin needs to get experience racing Late Models. A weekend racing Late Models can cost $15,000. Colvin calculated that three weekends would be sufficient to get ready for the combine.
And when all the seemingly insurmountable obstacles begin to pile up on Colvin, she knows how to let go of her anxiety.
When asked how she deals with it all, Colvin points at her Legends car, the only working one she has.
"That's my release," Colvin said.

If you have a application that exceeds that Datastore quota of 1 Gig (Master/Slave configuration) How do you clear the condition?
I have an application called "parking-helper" and it has a Total Stored Data 100% used message.
But I've deleted 99% of the data (a few days ago) cleared the indexes, vacuumed the indexes and cleared the memcache and also waited for at least 2 reset cycles and yet the datastore still says 100% used.
The datastore admin shows that the datastore does not add up to more than a meg.
I know that memcache and indexes count also. It would be nice to see the sizes of these in the Datastore Admin view (but currently we cannot see these values). But I believe I cleared them also.
How can I reset this application without the drastic measure of deleting and re-creating which means I'd have to pick another application id and re-create all the other data.
Thanks, Ralph

So I tore apart my rear derailer, an old Shimano Altus, thoroughly cleaned it, lubes with light oil and reassembled it. Works great...
I got a new chain and popped it on.
Now it seems I'm having trouble. The chain movement is not smooth. It's sort of clicking and jumpy, and it might ocasionally skip a tooth. I checked and the links (old vs new) look pretty much the same size. Also both chains have the same number of links. Could it be that the chain will stretch over time to accomopdate the small amount of slack present?
Also, i seem to be having chain alignment issues. With the front derailer all the way 'slack', I still get the chain rubbing the innermost surface (left side when looking sown riding the bike) when on the small chainring. The adjustement screw is all the way out. My hypothesis is that I've got too much tension in tghe shifter cable. (friction shifters). Could this be the case?

Solar Activity Report for 2/3/02
Expand Messages
- There hasn't been a whole lot of solar flare
activity over the last 2 days to speak of, despite the
fact that sunspot region 9802 has a magnetic field
that makes it look like it could fire off a major
flare at any time. However, the relative lack of solar
activity didn't stop some aurora from happening the night
of 2/1. A solar wind disturbance generated by the
M3.6 flare of 1/31, coupled with a strongly
south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), combined to
create minor geomagnetic storm conditions. The result
was aurora, which were spotted and photographed in
Alaska, Canada, and North Dakota. Here are some pictures
http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/gallery_01feb02.html . A large coronal hole is now squarely in an
Earth pointing position. High speed solar wind gusts
from that will likely reach Earth on Wednesday or
Thursday. Geomagnetic storm conditions are definitely a
possibility.

The current solar and geomagnetic conditions are
:

NOAA sunspot number : 273
SFI : 233
A index :
5
K index : 2

Solar wind speed : 340.2
km/sec
Solar wind density : 5.7 protons/cc
Solar wind
pressure : 1.0 nPa

IMF : 6.5 nT
IMF Orientation
: 5.7 nT North

Conditions for the last 24
hours :
Solar activity was moderate. The geomagnetic
field was quiet to unsettled.

Forecast for the
next 24 hours :
Solar activity will be low to
moderate. The geomagnetic field will be quiet to
unsettled.

Solar activity forecast :
Solar activity is expected
to be at predominantly low to moderate levels. A
slight chance for major flare activity is
possible.

Geomagnetic activity forecast :
The geomagnetic field
activity is expected to be quiet to unsettled through days
one and two of the forecast period. Day three may see
active levels with possible minor storm conditions due
to the onset of a favorably positioned coronal
hole

Recent significant solar flare activity :
04-Feb-2002
- On Feb 28th, the Interplanetary Magnetic Field
swung to a strong south-pointing orientation. That,
coupled with an elevated solar wind speed and density,
triggered a G-1 class geomagnetic storm. The result was
some high latitude aurora. See this link for a
photgraph of aurora observed over Quebec :
http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/images/01mar02/Moussette2.jpg . As of right now, there are 3 sunspot regions,
namely 9839, 9842, and 9845, that appear to be capable
of producing M-class flares. Regions 9839 and 9842
are close to rotating out of view over the western
limb of the solar disk. Sunspot region 9845, however,
is close to the sun's central meridian. A rather
large coronal hole is also approaching the sun's
central meridian, and coming into an Earth-pointing
position. High speed colar wind gusts are likely around the
first of next week.

The current solar and
geomagnetic conditions are :

NOAA sunspot number :
153
SFI : 188
A index : 10
K index : 1

Solar
wind speed : 372.3 km/sec
Solar wind density : 4.4
protons/cc
Solar wind pressure : 1.1 nPa

IMF : 8.4
nT
IMF Orientation : 0.7 nT North

Conditions for
the last 24 hours :
Solar activity was low. The
geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Stratwarm Alert
exists Friday.

Forecast for the next 24 hours
:
Solar activity will be low to moderate. The geomagnetic
field will be quiet to unsettled.

Solar Activity
Forecast :
Solar activity is expected to be low to
moderate for the next three days. Region 9845 is a
possible source for isolated M-class
flares.

Geomagnetic activity forecast :
Geomagnetic field activity
is expected to be mainly quiet to unsettled, until
the onset of high speed stream effects from a
recurrent coronal hole begin to develop by day three of the
forecast period. Isolated active conditions are
anticipated thereafter.

Recent significant solar flare
activity :
None

Tour de France - Credit where credit's due
Blazin' Saddles pays tribute to the brilliance of Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Team Sky.
Related links
Saddles then listened to Wiggins's emotional post-race press conference and was wholly won over by a man at the pinnacle of sporting achievement – a worthy winner who was roundly applauded by the whole room for the meticulous and human way he went about becoming the first ever Briton to win the Tour de France.
So today, on the eve of the Tour's finale in Paris, let's take a little look at what Wiggins, Froome and Dave Brailsford's Team Sky have achieved over the past few weeks...
- Britain's first ever Tour de France (and Grand Tour) winner
- Britain's first ever Tour de France runner-up
- Britain's first ever Tour de France or Grand Tour one-two
- The first time two riders from the same team have topped the Tour overall standings since 1997 when Jan Ullrich beat defending champion and Telekom team-mate Bjarne Riis
- The first national one-two since 1984 when Laurent Fignon beat fellow Frenchman Bernard Hinault
- Three Tour stage winners in Wiggins, Froome and Mark Cavendish
- Five Tour stage wins, with a unprecedented prospect of the maillot jaune leading out Cavendish for a sixth in Paris on Sunday
- Sky have so far contributed the lion's share of Britain's tally of six wins. Britain is the only country this century to win six stages in one Tour on two different occasions – and on Sunday could be the first to win seven
- One-twos in both of the Tour's major time trials
- Three riders in the top three of the second ITT, with Richie Porte riding to a solid fifth in Chartres
- Wiggins arrived at the Tour having already made history after becoming the first man to win Paris-Nice, the Tour of Romandie and the Criterium du Dauphine stage races in the same season. Adding the Tour to it is even more of an unprecedented achievement – something which will probably never be matched
- Sir Chris Hoy went as far as to label Wiggins's forthcoming Tour win "the greatest achievement by any British sportsperson ever"
- Wiggins was never lower than second place in the Tour's GC after completing the opening prologue in Liege seven seconds slower than Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara
- Wiggins took the yellow jersey after placing third at La Planche des Belles Filles in stage seven in the Jura mountains, won by Froome, two days before the first major time trial in Besancon consolidated the pair's dominance. He will have worn the yellow for 13 stages in total
- Sky achieved their aim of delivering a British Tour winner within five years (which we all initially baulked at) in just three
- Sky showcased the values of team-work and team spirit, with every rider pulling towards one goal and no one veering off course, however tempting it may have been
- In Chris Froome, Sky have a someone who can continue the team's current hegemony if, say, the next Tour route is one peppered with mountains
- Sky will have changed the way teams prepare for Grand Tours by showing how making enough marginal gains can add up to mammoth advantages. Sky's precedent will mean all ProTour teams will put more into aspects such as tailored training and nutrition or risk losing further ground
- Wiggins has shown that success can come from disappointment, returning from a broken collarbone in last year's Tour fitter, leaner, stronger and better
- Wiggins has shown the importance of hard work and dedication to a generation who crave fame and celebrity for doing nothing (his words)
- Wiggins underlined his dedication to science by punching a button on his SRM bike computer to log his ride data before punching the air in celebration of his win
- Wiggins delivered what was labelled the "best press conference ever" from one respected Reuters reporter. Another said it was "As classy as his time trial riding"
- "Based on today's press conference," one Sunday Times reporter said, "Sky should put Bradley Wiggins in charge of press and public relations. He gives the machine a human face."
- Wiggins won over these journalists despite ending his conference with an apology for being "a pain in the arse", explaining to the world's media that "I've never been trained to do well in the media" before thanking the packed room "for the last couple of weeks" amid rapturous applause
- Following a worthy winner (Evans) who nevertheless delivered a string of banal platitudes in the press room, Wiggins managed to spice things up throughout the three weeks, delivering priceless quotes, endless stories and talking absolute sense ("It's quite often the people who are saying 'it's a boring Tour' who are the ones saying, 'well, he's on drugs anyway'.")
And some more light-hearted achievements...
- Wiggins has put the London borough of Kilburn on the map
- More than three decades on from the 70s, Wiggins has made sideburns fashionable again
- Wiggins managed to make Gordon Ramsey sound like Enid Blyton by turning early press conferences into a sea of asterisks or a medley of bleeps (depending on whether or not you were reading or listening)
- Ahead of the Olympics, Wiggins taught foreigners coming to London 2012 how the C-word can be used a viable alternative to a full-stop
- Wiggo demonstrated you don't have to attack in the mountains to win the Tour – provided you have a team mate you can do the attacking for you
- Talking of Froome, the runner-up was the race's only stage winner born outside Europe
- Together, Wiggins and Froome probably ended Cadel Evans's career as a serious GC contender
- Wiggins and Froome also became the first aliens to mount the final podium after Luis Leon Sanchez, third in the final ITT, labelled them "from another world"
- The nationalist fervour inspired by Wiggins and Froome gave a new lease of life to Union flags gathering dust since the Queen's Diamond Jubilee earlier in the summer
- Wiggins and Froome also managed to make world champion Cavendish's first (and last?) Tour with Team Sky decidedly underwhelming – although gave Cav a vital chance to hone his climbing skills ahead of 10 laps of Box Hill in the Olympics in less than two weeks
- Team Sky's brilliance managed to provoke fickle Australian fans into booing their fellow Australians following Michael Rogers and Richie Porte's relentless riding in the mountains
- Sky managed to instil fear amid the peloton, with Garmin's David Millar describing their team bus as the 'Death Star' from Star Wars
- And finally... Wiggins comprehensively laid to death the notion of peaking too early

You are the star of your own story. Write it like you want to live it.
Show yourself some love every day. Loving yourself enough to treat yourself better WILL lead to better eating and better health. Yes, you DESERVE it. You NEED it. Go out and buy yourself some gold stars. Did you press your lips together instead of making that nasty comment?...
For everyday that I do exercise, I put a Star on my Calender on my refrigerator. I bought the bright reflective florescent kind! There is just something about seeing 5 bright stars on my week at the end of the week, that makes me feel like I have a accomplished what I set out to do. I feel like a Rock Star!
I bought a 99 cents wall calendar for 2010 and a couple of packages of shiny foil stick-on stars, and now I put a star on the days when I do the exercise I want to remember. Each month that fills up with shiny stars makes me feel delighted, just like when I was a kid! 888

No Slouch
April 7, 2015 | by Nick Tabor
The widening gyre of heavy-handed allusions to Yeats's "The Second Coming."
A recent Russia Today headline suggests that Europe is "slouching towards anxiety and war." According to the title of Robert Bork's latest best seller, the United States is Slouching Towards Gomorrah. A new book by W. C. Harris, an English professor, claims we're Slouching Towards Gaytheism. A casual reader might wonder why the nations of the world have such terrible posture; is it that the earth is slouching towards bedlam? Have things fallen apart?
The only thing not doing any slouching these days is the "rough beast" in W. B. Yeats's "The Second Coming," the 1919 poem from which the phrase originates: "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, / Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
But Yeats's beast, it must be said, isn't deteriorating or dying in its slouching, as the many references to the phrase would have you believe; rather, it slouches in steady, dedicated progress toward a goal. It's actually a terrifying sight: the poem's narrator intuits that the beast is coming to wreak some untold havoc. (At least one blog got this subtlety right in a headline about the 2012 election cycle: "Romney slouching toward GOP nomination.")
"The Second Coming" may well be the most thoroughly pillaged piece of literature in English. (Perhaps Macbeth's famous "sound and fury" monologue is a distant second.) Since Chinua Achebe cribbed Yeats's lines for Things Fall Apart in 1958 and Joan Didion for Slouching Towards Bethlehem a decade later, dozens if not hundreds of others have followed suit, in mediums ranging from CD-ROM games to heavy-metal albums to pornography. These references have created a feedback loop, leading ever more writers to draw from the poem for inspiration. But how many of them get it right? Read More »
Advertise with Joan Didion, and Other News
January 7, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg has started a book club—it's perfect for philistines. "Zuckerberg launched the project by announcing, with what sounds almost like surprise, that books are 'intellectually fulfilling' and 'allow you to fully explore a topic … in a deeper way than most media today' … Imagine a world in which there'd been 700 years of the internet, before, in the nineties, somebody invented books. It would surely seem a miracle that, instead of trawling through acres of semi-reliable information, you could have a guaranteed, portable and inexpensive source of knowledge from someone who knows both how to write and what they're talking about."
- Joan Didion is, at eighty years old, still writing, and still modeling. She's the new face for the Spring 2015 line of the French fashion label Céline. And she looks positively thrilled to be there.
- Why have we reserved the adjective difficult for works of high art? If difficult means "hard to read, hard to get through, hard to finish," then Fifty Shades of Grey is every bit as difficult as The Recognitions. "Difficulty is various and subjective … opacity and frustration aren't necessarily errors or failures on the part of the reader."
- A crop of recent novels express a curious nostalgia for the seventies: "Everyone knows now how decades come back into fashion with motiveless regularity … The novelists who have lately returned to the Seventies seem to be making a stronger claim: that there is something uniquely vital to the decade, and in fact uniquely to be missed."
- Say the apocalypse were to arrive and a world-sundering hellfire rained down upon us. CNN is ready. When Ted Turner founded the company thirty-four years ago, he stipulated that the network's last functioning employee had to air a certain video before ceasing broadcast at the end of the world. This is it.
Head Cases
November 21, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
Migraines are the most glamorous of headaches. Mysterious, debilitating, unpredictable: they get all the press. Who wants to talk about the workaday irritation of a tension headache, the dull thud of dehydration, the queasy slosh of sinus infections? That's not sexy. By definition, even; the headache is the punch line to half the Andy Capp jokes in the world.
But migraines! Everyone relishes a migraine. They have a literal aura! Migraines foster the sort of pure narcissism that only intense, essentially benign pain can. We sufferers (that's how it's described, "migraine sufferer") feel it is meet and right that the migraine should be dramatized in films like Pi or White Heat; this strengthens the perception that migraines are the hallmark of geniuses, or at least psychopaths. Joan Didion writes about them; of course she does. In "In Bed," she describes the purification arising from this crucible of pain:
The migraine has acted as a circuit breaker, and the fuses have emerged intact. There is a pleasant convalescent euphoria. I open the windows and feel the air, eat gratefully, sleep well. I notice the particular nature of a flower in a glass on the stair landing. I count my blessings.
Yes, Joan, yes! That's it exactly! Of course, she also says, "My husband also has migraine, which is unfortunate for him but fortunate for me: perhaps nothing so tends to prolong an attack as the accusing eye of someone who has never had a headache." I disagree. What migraine sufferer wants to share the limelight? After all, we all know in our hearts that no one in the history of the world has ever experienced basically unserious pain like we have.
It's a bit like cats on social media. On the face of it, social media is a boon for cat fanciers, so long isolated from the easy socialization of other pet owners. And on the face of it, it is indeed a vibrant online community. But the suspicion cannot help but intrude, first, that everyone really thinks her cat is the cutest, the wackiest, the wittiest, the best. And second, that this conviction is unshakeable.
So it is with migraine sufferers. On the face of it, we're collegial. Oh, you get migraines, too? We compare triggers (Tyramines? Blood sugar? Hormones?) and triptans. Have you tried Zomig? Maxalt? Imitrex? What about the spray? And then the one-upsmanship begins. How often? For how long? Where is your pain localized? Really, behind the eyes? Interesting. I didn't realize that qualified as a migraine! Light sensitivity? Nausea? Have you tried biofeedback? Beta-Blockers? Botox? Acupuncture? Going GF? (That's recent.) What about that codeine stuff you can only get in Europe because the FDA hasn't approved it? Have you been to the ER? How many times? Have you seen a neurologist? (We all have; there's never anything wrong with us. At least, nothing detectable.) Of course, if anyone plays the "Cluster Headache" card, the conversation is over, and the rest of us have to trudge sullenly away.
Regarding Mystery: An Interview with Richard Rodriguez
September 9, 2014 | by David Michael
In San Francisco earlier this spring, I'd hoped to meet the essayist Richard Rodriguez, the author of The Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez, Days of Obligation: An Argument with My Mexican Father, Brown: The Last Discovery of America, and, most recently, Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography, which has just been published in paperback. Though he's largely associated with his early stances against affirmative action and bilingual education, not to mention his regular appearances on the PBS NewsHour, Rodriguez, who turned seventy in July, has had a wide-ranging career, and I wanted to discuss the shift of his work from cultural identity to religion. But our schedules were tricky to coordinate, and then I lost my wallet. "Pray to St. Anthony!" Rodriguez immediately wrote. (The wallet was recovered by one of the famous bellmen at Sir Francis Drake Hotel. "St. Anthony dressed as a beefeater," as Rodriguez put it.) Instead, we corresponded for several weeks.
I was excited and surprised by Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography. I had seen you referred to as a Mexican-American writer, a Californian writer, and a gay writer, but never, until recently, as a religious writer. Have you always considered yourself a religious writer?
Of course, I haven't, until lately, considered myself a "writer"—in the grand sense. For most of my writing life, I have stood truly, if uneasily, on American bookstore shelves as a sociological sample—shelved "Latino" between a gangbanger's book of poetry and the biography of a Colombian drug lord. Only in recent years, as it has become clear to me that so few people I know read books, have I been struck by the fact that I am a writer.
My sense of being religious is older. From boyhood, particularly my lower-middle-class childhood in Sacramento, I was transported by religion into the realm of mystery. Consider this: The Irish nun excused me from arithmetic class so that I could serve as an altar boy at a funeral mass. Along with the priest and the other altar boy, I would welcome Death at the doors of the church. We escorted Death up the main aisle. I later went with the cortege to the cemetery. There was a fresh pile of soil piled high at the edge of the grave site, discreetly, if unsuccessfully, covered by an AstroTurf rug that was as unconvincing a denial of the hardness of time as a cheap toupee. I wondered at the mourners' faces—the melting grief, the hard stoicism. Thirty minutes from the grave, I was back within the soft green walls of Sacred Heart Parish School. It was almost lunchtime. I resumed my impersonation of an American kid. Read More »
Speaking American
July 7, 2014 | by Damian Fowler
The varying temperaments of British and American storytelling.
In 1890, a thirty-seven-year-old Scot named James F. Muirhead arrived in America with the intention of carrying out an extensive survey of the republic for the "Baedeker's Handbook to the United States." Muirhead spent the next three years traveling to almost every state and territory in the Union, approaching his vast subject matter with none of the condescension often expressed by Victorian Englishmen of the era. In 1898 he published The Land of Contrasts—A Briton's View of His American Kin, which he considered to be a "tribute of admiration and gratitude." His colorful chapter headings show the range of his interests: "An Appreciation of the American Woman," "Sports and Amusements," "American Journalism—A Mixed Blessing," and "Some Literary Straws."
In that last chapter, Muirhead attempts to throw some light upon the "respective literary tastes of the Englishman and the American." While he notes the grammatical wrongness of the American idiom—at least to his ear—in phrases such as "a long ways off" or "In a voice neither could scare hear," he is most interested in "the tone, the temper, the method, the ideals" of an American writer. He singles out William Dean Howells—who challenged American authors to choose American subjects—as "purely and exclusively American, in his style as in his subject, in his main themes as in his incidental illustrations, in his spirit, his temperament, his point of view."
But what does it mean to have an American point of view? Muirhead keeps trying to put his finger on this elusive quality: "Mr. Howells … possesses a bonhomie, a geniality, a good-nature veiled by a slight mask of cynicism, that may be personal, but which strikes one as also a characteristic American trait." And then: "To me Mr. Howells, even when in his most realistic and sordid vein, always suggests the ideal and the noble." Read More »
What We're Loving: Twain, Gilbert, Visconti
December 13, 2013 | by The Paris Review
Late at night for the last few weeks I've been rereading The Innocents Abroad. I think Mark Twain will always be my favorite writer, or at least the one I enjoy most easily, even when he's not being great. The Innocents Abroad—his magazine account of a tour through Europe and the Holy Land—is not great Twain. He knows nothing about art. (Mainly he hates it.) He's bigoted toward Muslims and Catholics, in his grumpy unserious way. He spends most of the trip tired, skeptical, and bored, at times you can almost see him counting the words in a sunset, but for me this is all part of his charm. Twain wears his shtick so easily; a book like The Innocents Abroad reminds you that he was not only our first great allegorist of race, or our first great master of dialect, or the one who first understood American prose as such, or the perpetrator of several extremely weird book-length satires—he also happened to be the David Sedaris of his time. Which is to say, a humorist, an easy writer, who speaks to what is ordinary and irredeemably podunk in us all. —Lorin Stein
I was lucky enough to catch the new print of Sandra at New York's Film Forum last week, but it is well worth seeking out on your own: Luchino Visconti's lush 1965 retelling of the Electra myth is gorgeous, campy, and lurid beyond measure. Claudia Cardinale and Jean Sorel are undressed for absolutely no reason far more often than they need to be; there's Italian palazzos, stunning scenery, and just a pinch of "Blood of the Walsungs"-style incest. Need I say more? —Sadie O. Stein
Following the sage advice of my Paris Review Facebook feed, I read Jack Gilbert's Art of Poetry interview from issue 175. Two things, in particular, felt essential to his work: his romantic distain for "clever" poetry—i.e., poems that are "extraordinarily deft" when it comes to technique, but hollow at their core; and his unabashed admission that of course his poems are taken directly from experience—"why would I invent them?" One need only pick up his collection The Great Fires. In "Finding Something," we see Gilbert caring for his wife Michiko as she is dying of cancer. He describes a scene both unbearably sad and totally mundane: she has become so weak that she cannot go to the bathroom without leaning against her husband's legs. There's nothing even remotely clever about the final lines:
How strange and fine to get so near to it.
The arches of her feet are like voices
of children calling in the grove of lemon trees,
where my heart is as helpless as crushed birds.
—Fritz Huber
Joan Didion's Play It As It Lays is only 214 quick pages, yet in these eighty-four brief chapters she to leave us with a nightmare that we can neither explain nor get enough of. It's a relatively sparse novel, but still a hypnotizing, morbid story of a wounded woman incarcerated by the misfortunes of her own making. Every word is laden with Maria's torment, heavy with cafard; yet there's a peculiar pleasure derived from Didion's control over language. "All day she was faint with vertigo, sunk in a world where great power grids converged, throbbing lines plunged finally into the shallow canyon below the dam's face, elevators like coffins dropped into the bowels of the earth itself." —Caitlin Youngquist
This morning, Lorin, Edan Lepucki of the Millions, and Square Books' Richard Howarth discussed their favorite titles of 2013. Check out the audio here. —S.O.S.

Sergio Garcia's major streak near end?
Updated: May 22, 2011, 4:01 PM ETBy Bob Harig | ESPN.com
The subject is not one he embraces but something Sergio Garcia believes is overblown. He took two months off last year. Big deal.
Except it is when you are talking about one of the game's most gifted, if not accomplished, players.
As recently as March 2009, the Spaniard was ranked second in the world. Now he is on the outside looking in as the U.S. Open approaches next month at Congressional, a long streak of major championship starts in jeopardy.

American Airlines: An Analysis After The Sell-Off [View article]
But I think it's a wash. Oil goes up: higher input costs but increased fares and restrained capacity. Oil goes down: lower input costs but cut fares and increased capacity. Bottom line: airlines are making money either way.
Could AAL be bankrupt in a few years, once again? Perhaps. But it's WAY too soon to make that determination (think Larry Livingston and his treasure in the distance analogy); and with this type of precipitous price action , the market is trying to anticipate disaster. Sorry, too soon for that. If nothing else, there is a great short to medium term trade here. Not sure how much shortsellers are involved here--I doubt very much but hope they pile in. The faster this goes down the better. (Just stay capitalized, people!)
Lots of sentiment involved here. And in my view, lots of opportunity in sentiment. i.e. AAL mispriced here. And will probably become more mispriced as negative sentiment builds through media attention. (Think aapl in 2013. NOT comparing aal to aapl, just pointing out the gifts that negative media give us.) Herd mentality in airlines up and down. Nothing short of a stampede happening as we speak.
Next on radar: 1) May numbers from legacy carriers. 2) government response to mid-east airline inquiry. 3) June numbers. 4)earnings.
What to completely ignore: 1) price of oil. 2) hedge fund 13f's adding or subtracting (can you say rear view mirror?!)

American Airlines And Halliburton - Ultimate Pairs Trade To Hedge Out Oil [View article]
I'm always looking to buy oil but I think this hedge line of thinking with AAL at these stock prices is wrong. When oil was at $100 I was fine with that, and I expressed it in some comments that I made in August about airlines, before the oil crash. I also expressed at that time that I was more worried about oil price deflation than inflation, even as I owned stock in airlines. SO MUCH money-losing chatter about correlations between airline stock prices and oil prices. Buy HAL because you like HAL and you want to commit capital to it, not to hedge AAL exposure to oil. I'm waiting for the month when oil surges and AAL surges right along with it.May 13, 2015. 03:05 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Distractions Hindering American Airlines [View article]
Stone fox's April 25 blurb had a title that explains why I'm relatively comfortable in airlines as opposed to the broader market. I think it will be a long time before those perceptions change, and I love that fact. To me it means an opportunity to slowly build longer term positions. It also means years of opportunities in the volatility that persists.
For those afraid of the volatility, I think that is a mistake. Be prepared for the volatility. Expect it. Embrace it. And use it to your advantage.May 13, 2015. 01:11 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Delta Air Lines: Hedging Gone Awry [View article]
On a separate note, that 850 mill loss you mention would be through the entirety of 2015, not Q4 alone--assuming their book has downside protection below the 20% drop on that chart. Whether or not that protection exists is the type of transparency I would like to see Delta exercise. Jet fuel looks to be right at that 20% decline since $2.57. If it goes below that, shouldn't they at least post another chart for investors in an 8-k revealing figures below the 20% mark?Dec 5, 2014. 06:39 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

J.J. Abrams invites everyone to be part of Star Wars: Episode VII — and support a Unicef initiative at the same time — in a special video message.
Filmmaker J.J. Abrams, who is currently on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII in Abu Dhabi, has recorded a special message inviting everyone to be a part of the movie, and make a necessary change in the world at the same time.
Abrams announced the launch of Star Wars: Force For Change, a Star Wars initiative from Disney and Lucasfilm that is dedicated to finding creative solutions to some of the world's biggest problems. The first Star Wars: Force for Change campaign, which is also in collaboration with Abrams' production company Bad Robot, will raise funds and awareness for Unicef's Innovation Labs and its innovative projects benefitting children in need.
Disney has committed US$1mil (RM3.2mil) to the project, but for the rest of us who don't have as much extra cash to spare, we can also pledge for as little as US$10 (RM32). The best part about donating (apart from that warm, fuzzy feeling you get from knowing that you've helped) is that you automatically get the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be in Star Wars: Episode VII!
This campaign, which kicked off earlier today, will run until July 18 (11.59pm PST). You now have 57 more days left to take part.
The grand prize includes an air ticket to London (where the film will shoot at Pinewood Studios) for the winner and a guest, as well as accommodations. The winner will be considered Abrams' "VIP guest", thus garnering him/her behind-the-scenes access to the movie as well as the opportunity to meet members of the cast.
Last of all, the winner will be transformed into a Star Wars character and then filmed for a scene in the movie.
Some of the rules and regulations are posted on the YouTube page of the video message: Firstly, you need to be 18 years old to participate. Another important note is that Belgium, Italy, Malta, Singapore and Thailand residents are not eligible for entry (!).
Malaysia is not mentioned anywhere in the statement, but you may need to get clarification from the organisers (or Abrams himself, if he's not too busy) on eligibility.
Star Wars: Episode VII is set for a December 2015 release and features some of the original actors from the first three films – Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels – as well as Domhnall Gleeson and John Boyega.
Head over to StarWars.com/ForceForChange for details of the rules and regulations, or visit omaze.com/starwars for more information on how to make a donation.

German Covers for Typhon Pact

Now what makes you think I would tell you in an open forum?
So tell me in a PM. Or block me.
are you now privy to how well books are selling? When ever this question comes up, individuals, including yourself have said this information is highly classified and not for public consumption.
Well, I do chat to my local SF specialist bookshop and comic shop every week. The bookshop orders in about 20 of each new ST title for the open shelves, and more for customer pre-orders, and some titles vanish
within days
while others sit around for weeks/months. The Borg on licensed merchandise do seem to sell fast, which is probably why Pocket, IDW and previous licensees have used Borg elements, and why the "Voyager" series plundered the Borg so often in its episodes.
I've also been an editor of a professional journal, so yes, I've had some experience in observing how certain popular design elements can "sell" a product. Similarly, we've seen Spock turn up on covers where he had minimal participation in a novel.
So tell me Ian, are you now privy to such information and also, why don't Full Circle, Unworthy and half the other books based after Destiny have Borg front and centre on their covers?
Well, you're certainly not going to use the Borg
on every cover.
Those books had other important things they wanted to convey. I guess. I speculate. As do we all.
As my sig has said, for years now, and due partly to previous complaints about my posting style, my speculations are
my personal opinion.
Hell, why didn't Destiny, the Ultimate Borg Story didn't have the Borg on their front cover?
No idea. These are things that fans enjoy speculating about.
Now I might be wrong, but in all of Trek Publishing, a grand total of two stories have had the Borg on their cover, Vendetta which was published some twenty years ago and Before Dishonour five-and-a-half years ago and the latter just had the side of a Borg Cube.
And many DC, Marvel and IDW comic covers, including the current "Doctor Who"/TNG crossovers and trade omnibuses. And VOY VHS tapes here Down Under. And the prevalence of Playmates' Seven of Nine figures, in every costume variation imaginable. And Simon & Schuster Interactive ("Star Trek: Borg"). And the Simon & Schuster Audioworks adaptation of that game. And the upcoming DK "Visual Dictionary".
your answer was at best misleading and at worst, completely and utterly wrong.
It's my personal speculation. I'm
to be wrong. And so are you.
Ask Ed. I'm sure he'd agree that "Borg sell." I do not know it for fact, but it's my personal speculation and opinion, until proven wrong.
Thiptho lapth!

Statesmen Don't Panic
Byline: William R. Hawkins, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The statesmanship shown by President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in London as terrorist bombings, rebel ambushes and coalition raids rocked the Middle East from Turkey through Iraq to Afghanistan should shame into silence their fainthearted critics in politics, the media and the streets.
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has unveiled a television commercial featuring the famous images of a flight-suited Mr. Bush on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln declaring an end to major combat in Iraq on May 1. The ad is meant to mock the triumphant capture of Baghdad and raise questions about the continuing violence, but instead it should raise questions about Mr. Kerry. As a decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War, Mr. Kerry should know the difference between the kind of major operations he took part in and the pin prick attacks now being made by Ba'athist remnants and Islamic terrorists. Instead, he would rather exploit a unwarranted sense of panic for personal gain.
The current level of violence in Iraq must be kept in perspective. It still does not constitute a military crisis or a threat to the coalition's strategic position. As of this writing, more than 400 U.S. servicemen and women have been killed during the course of the Iraq campaign, which started on March 20. By any rational standard, the Iraq campaign has been one of the greatest - and least bloody - military success stories in history. By way of comparison, almost as many people have been killed in Washington and the surrounding metropolitan area this year as concern has been rising about increasing street gang activity.
In Vietnam, 58,000 Americans were killed in action during a war that was eventually lost. In Korea, 38,000 Americans were lost in a war that ended as a draw. Lack of victory left a legacy of tyranny and genocide in a communist-dominated postwar Southeast Asia. Millions died after "peace" had been imposed by triumphant communist armies. The region continues to languish in poverty and corruption. Only now are some reforms under way, but not enough to regain the promise that could have transformed society 30 years ago had Saigon prevailed over Hanoi rather than the reverse.
In North Korea, a half-mad despot still threatens world peace with the specter of nuclear weapons while letting his people starve. Having failed to adopt a strategy of decisive warfare leading to the removal of the brutal regimes in Pyongyang and Hanoi when the opportunity presented itself, the United States has suffered adverse strategic consequences for decades.
The liberation and reconstruction of Iraq offers the chance for a much better outcome at a much lower cost. American strategy did not hang back this time, but drove forward to Baghdad with the clear objective of removing the regime of Saddam Hussein. Not since the fall of Berlin and Tokyo in World War II has the United States been so successful.
Though President Truman did initially try to repeat this type of success in Korea by taking Pyongyang in 1950, the intervention by Chinese troops led the United States to settle for a stalemate and a divided Korean Peninsula where only the South came to enjoy prosperity and freedom. …

People who need a set of their fingerprints for a job application, travel, adoption application or any other noncriminal reason have a new place to go in St. Paul.
The St. Paul Police Department started offering the service again in February. Adults pay $15 per fingerprint card. Police will fingerprint juveniles for free, so parents have the identification in case the child ever goes missing.
The police department stopped offering fingerprinting about 10 years ago, said Sgt. Pamela Barragan, who is in charge of the background unit that does the fingerprinting.
"We received a lot of calls from the community asking us if we had the service," she said. "It was in answer to a service that the community wanted us to have."
Many times, parents don't think about having their children fingerprinted until they are at an event that offers the service, Barragan said.
"Our idea was this is something we can offer for safety," she said.
Alison Feigh, community safety specialist at the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, said it's great that police are offering to fingerpint children, but parents should take other steps, too.
"It's one of many tools that can be used, except it's an after-the-fact tool," Feigh said. "I've been at safety fairs and things, and heard parents in line say to their children, 'I'm going to get you fingerprinted so you never go missing.' "
Feigh suggests parents have ongoing safety discussions, which can include "family safety nights" and playing "what if" games.
At the police department, about 10 people have been fingerprinted in the six days police have had the service available, Barragan said, though she hopes more will show up when word gets out.
Fingerprint cards go home with the people who are fingerprinted; the police department doesn't store the fingerprint records, Barragan said.
The police department is not the only place in St. Paul offering fingerprinting: the Ramsey County sheriff's office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension also offer the service. The sheriff's office also fingerprints children free of charge on cards that aren't for official use.
St. Paul police uses paper and ink to fingerprint. The BCA fingerprints electronically, using a device that works like a camera to capture a digital image of each print. The sheriff's office offers both ink and electronic fingerprinting.

The three agencies say they will fingerprint anyone for noncriminal reasons, regardless of where they live. All require photo identification. People looking for other places to be fingerprinted should check with their local police or sheriff's office, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension recommends.
