Well, smoothing needs a lot of work

The Kenya Defence Forces has removed its @KDFInfo account from its website as it waits for Twitter to wrestle it from hackers calling themselves Anonymous Kenya.
The hackers took control of the account two days ago. KDF operations information officer Willy Wesonga yesterday said they had contacted the Communication Authority of Kenya and Twitter to help them disable the account and stop the hackers from abusing the handle.
"What was hacked into was the twitter account @KDFINFO and Major Emmanuel Chirchir's handles. No information was compromised. The Twitter account is used to convey information to the public," he said.
The hackers took control of Chirchir's and the KDF Twitter handles for a second day only hours after the government had announced that they had wrestled the hacked handle from #ANON_0X03.
The group had on Sunday night hacked into KDF liaison officer Chirchir's Twitter account. "Account hacked by the people for the people. And the people go," one tweet from the hackers says.
Another tweet says, "All of you who have stolen from #Kenya, we are coming after you. Whether you are Kenyan or not. A thief is a thief no matter your position." The hackers yesterday also claimed that they had hacked into several ministries including Immigration.
However, blogger Robert Alai yesterday said that such hacking can only happen when someone looses control of their email or domain or synchronisation through sabotage. "This is a case of key-logging, loss of control of email/domain, synchronisation, device in use, sabotage from within etc #hacking," he tweeted.

Just posting from Radfem 2013 with the MN feminists - couple of interesting comments :-)(326 Posts)
I'm just posting because I'm at a conference with a few MN feminists. We've just been to a panel about feminist parenting, and the others are chatting with other feminist mums.
I've been listening in on the discussion mostly on account of not having any children - which is why I'm posting on MN instead of talking - but a couple of women mentioned the old stereotype of MN being full of anti-feminist middle-class white mothers who only talk about nappies. And a couple of FWR regulars were saying that we're actually quite nice. So, I am hoping maybe people who were at the conference will come to check out this section.
Or maybe they won't, but if they do - hello! :-)
She admits she is an arsehole.
She says she does it deliberately to open up the conversation.
What I find impressive about Cathy is how often she will end up having a serious conversation with people who start off hostile. If they engage reasonably with her she will do so with them, but she does not roll over and placate when they start off being rude to her, as many do.
'I'm sure it wasn't meant that way, but 'white middle class women talking about nappies' is how feminists used to dismiss SAHMs in the 70s. At least according to my Mum, who was a feminist SAHM in the 70s.'
Yes, I'm sure there were feminists who did that, though the feminist writing from that period is far more pro-motherhood than it gets given credit for.
I think that's why we bristled so much when one of the other women there dismissed Mumsnet.
Sorry - but if that is the same Cathy Brennan who runs bugbrennan, then I find her stuff really hard to read.
That's interesting, Tunip, and good that she is willing to engage with reasonable debate.
But how does being an arsehole open up the conversation? Surely it just encourages reductive aggression on the side of her interlocutors too.
Am v. glad the conference went well.
Of course you're going to find Cathy hard to read, she says things that totally go against the core of your identity.
But then, a lot of the stuff by transwomen goes against the core of my identity because what they believe about what it means to be a woman totally conflicts with what I and many other women believe.
I think the best we can hope for is for the needs of both sides to be considered in the production of legislation etc, and both sides to be allowed their own spaces where appropriate (and if we can manage to work together on occasion too then that's great). There is an apparently irreconcilable conflict as things stand. We are not going to agree about everything.
I found her speech very good. I had expected it to be difficult, but it wasn't. I will try to talk about it if people would like? It was very interesting.
She was being self-deprecating about the 'arsehole' bit, if I understood right. She also claimed she was only speaking because she was loud. I don't think she meant either of them entirely seriously, because she was very passionate about what she was saying as well.
LRD I'd love to hear more about CB's speech if you'd like to describe it. It looked like an interesting topic on the programme.
LRD and Turnip, thanks for feeding back from RF13 - I'm kicking myself for not going now. Would love to hear more about Cathy Brennan's speech. Did either of you get to Lierre Keith's session?
I did go to Keith's session. That was also brilliant. She actually had some slides, and I asked if she might be able to make them available online, as they were so useful. So maybe that will happen. She was setting out the ways in which radical feminism is very different from either a classic right-wing or left-wing ideology.
For me personally, her speech was interesting for what she was saying about the lack of boundaries between women's bodies and the world.
She was saying that in a traditional right-wing ideology, one man needs to have access to one woman (in marriage). In a left-wing ideology, all men need access to all women (in pornography, in prostitution). And what people find difficult about radical feminism is that women are saying that there is no automatic right to access.
For me that was an important idea, because the idea of women as permeable spaces comes up a lot in my work. And the idea that women's identities blend into one another (ie., all women are basically interchangeable with one another, and not fully distinct from other categories of being), is something I come across all the time. To me, it was interesting to think that some of the ideas that postmodernists put foward about transgression always being a positive and 'empowering' activity, are really just a reiteration of these old arguments about society not seeing boundaries between women and the rest of the world.
That is really, really my interpretation though, and her handouts didn't go into the postmodernism so much.
Cathy Brennan's speech was long, so I won't be able to remember all of it and I bet other people will have thought other parts were more important. One thing that was coming over very strongly in the whole conference, was how much lesbian feminists were feeling under attack, and obviously I don't know enough about that.
Brennan started out by saying that people seem to think she wants to curtail different forms of gender expression, and this was pretty much the opposite of how she actually feels. She was making the point that she's often been mistaken for a man or addressed as a man, or asked why she dresses and looks the way she does, and her life doesn't conform at all to what people expect of her gender. So she's saying, there isn't a problem with people acting and dressing however they want.
She then spoke about the forms of discrimination and violence that she or other women might face, and we couldn't find any that weren't rooted in misogyny or homophobia - we couldn't basically find any meaningful 'cis privilege'. I thought that was a strong point coming from her, or in that conference, and it made me feel very aware of the amount of privilege I have for being someone who is married and doesn't upset the expectations of most people in terms of how women look and act.
She then got onto discussing things like the 'cotton ceiling', which I don't remember so well simply because it's an argument I should think we mostly find obvious already (if not, google cotton ceiling, but we've discussed it on here before).
In the conversation bit of her panel, what came across very strongly is how difficult it is not to be labelled as transphobic, and still to discuss things like what it is like to grow up with society treating you as a girl, what it is like to be part of the group of people who're expected to do all these things with your body that women do. Someone in the audience said that increasingly, she was finding people did not like her to speak about 'women' and 'transwomen' when she tried to make the distinction between people who've had one experience, and people who've had the other. It very much - to me - went back to what Keith was saying about the way society has always constructed women's identities and bodies as being permeable, so they can always be crowded out by something else or exchanged with something else.
It sounds great lrd, loads of interesting stuff
It was. I'm really not doing justice to it, but I am knackered.
There were lots of amazing women who'd been involved in it all in the 70s who were giving the long view. Something that was very funny (in a sad way) was that someone had a poster for Andrea Dworkin's book launch, in the 70s, which happened at the Conway Centre and was women-only.
Apparently it didn't occur to anyone to make a fuss!
"She then spoke about the forms of discrimination and violence that she or other women might face, and we couldn't find any that weren't rooted in misogyny or homophobia - we couldn't basically find any meaningful 'cis privilege'."
Probably because you did not have any trans people there discussing their experiences.
That may well be it, of course. It is difficult to know. But I did find her very convincing.
I think the problem is, at the moment 'cis privilege' has been invented without any consent from women like her or like me - it's equally one-sided.
My feeling is, if someone feels it's a helpful term for them - they're entitled to use it. But not to apply it to other people without their consent. And it was from that perspective that it was being discussed - that you can't simply tell a group of people they have these privileges without first checking that they actually do.
Same could therefore be said for male privilege. We would have to sound them out. We all know that those men that benefit most from having privilege, do not want to give it up and are the same men most likely to deny having it.
Yes it could Mini, I agree - privilege doesn't have to be acknowledged by the privileged person to be real. I don't think Brennan was saying that though. I understood her argument to be this:
Terrible things are happening to transwomen. The transwomen they happen to the most are very similar to the women they happen to the most - poor transwomen, transwomen of colour, and above all those working as prostitutes.
And who is perpetrating the violence against transwomen? Just the same as with all women - the people doing the beating and raping and murdering are violent men, and in particular those who sexually exploit women through the prostitution industry.
But turning this from 'men oppressing transwomen' to 'cis people oppressing transwomen' is a sleight of hand which erases that reality, just as so much male violence is disguised, and then shifts imperceptibly to 'ciswomen are oppressing transwomen', and we get told we are the oppressors and as radical feminists we are responsible for their suffering despite the fact that never, amongst all the tragic cases of transwomen being murdered, has one been killed or indeed physically attacked by a radical feminist.
In all honesty, that's probably not trans people's biggest worry. My biggest worry at the moment is not being able to find a job. I can get an interview no problem. I had 3 just before half term. That makes 12 since I transitioned.
No job. A massive part of me wonders if that is because I'm trans. The interviewers weren't men oppressing me. Just ordinary people - but were they worried about employing a trans teacher?
Feminists talk about male privilege in getting past the glass ceiling whilst women struggle in a career. I'd just like to get a foot in the door.
Wow, well I hadn't heard of the cotton ceiling before. That's a really really difficult one for me to form an opinion on. A bit like the thread a while back about disabled people and their right to purchase sex.
It must be incredibly difficult to be a trans woman and be attracted to other women who are not attracted to you because of your physical shape. But (do I mean but?) it must also be very difficult to be disabled or morbidly obese and be attracted to people who are not willing to have sex with you because they aren't attracted to your body. Is there a cotton celling for those people to break through? And what about women who aren't attractive to the men they want to have sex with?
I'd like to conclude that nobody has the right to sex with anybody. But (again) I followed a link on a blog to an email between a transwoman and a lesbian where the transwoman said that attractiveness is socially and culturally determined. So, an interesting parallel to all the
arguments discussions I've had about women being socially (rather than biologically) determined to be primarily responsible for childcare.
Maybe, arguing against the biologically determined 'women's role' is the same as arguing against the biologically determined 'sexual attractiveness' of people possessing certain body parts. But the former is arguing for greater freedom, and the latter for less freedom for women to choose who they would like to have sex with without feeling guilty?
Thanks LRD, really interesting thread. I was interested in the conference, but having read a few RadFem blogs, I was put off by all the scornful references to Nigels. I like my DH and so I felt I would not be welcome
I'd like you to get a foot in the door too - I would love you to teach my children.
It's a tricky one. Reading the awful stuff on the Daily Mail that was said about the transwoman teacher who committed suicide, it's clear that there is prejudice against trans teachers - I won't deny that. But I also know two single women with great CVs who have been unable to get teaching jobs at the moment.
Kim, that's tough I'm sorry to hear about your experiences. Are you open about your transition in interviews?
Well I've got another interview this week. It's a crap time at the moment and I have got a lot going against me - I'm old and expensive. But there is always a nagging part in my brain that just says is it because I'm trans.
And there is no way of answering that or proving it. Just like it's extremely hard to prove any kind of discrimination.
prom Now that is a good question. I was talking about this with my counsellor. Do I mention it or do they even know I'm trans? I always struggle whether to mention it or not - no one ever asks me about it when I'm on supply. Sometimes I say "obviously I'm trans but it's never been an issue at schools" and sometimes I don't mention it.
I was telling her that it's impossible for me to know what people think and what they see - I think they see a transwoman but what do they see and who do they think I am? Do they just see a woman with a slightly deeper voice?
The thing about it not being trans people's biggest worry - I think that's really interesting. Because a lot of the hostility against radical feminists is premised on the claim that we supposedly cause transwomen to be murdered by questioning gender theory as we do.
There was a recent exchange on Twitter between a radfem I know and a trans-ally in which the radfem was told 'Words kill. You are fucking scum.' (Oh, the irony.)
I would love to support trans activists campaigning for an end to discrimination such as that faced by teachers, because frankly (and as a radfem) the idea that anybody gets punished for expressing gender identity in a way that confuses people ('OMG a man in a dress!') makes me furious, and I do believe it is rooted in misogyny. Radfems want an end to all this compulsory gender business.
And this is pretty much what Cathy Brennan is saying - all this 'you radfems are oppressing us by not letting us come to your meetings and calling us men!' is a massive distraction from what is really hurting people and prevents us working together to end male violence. But we also have to be allowed to discuss our experiences as women brought up as women in a culture that oppresses women because of their biology, without being told 'abortion is not a women's issue because not all women have wombs'. Or to be allowed to discuss menstruation without having to compound the taboo by being told to add trigger warnings.
Aren't trans rights organisations doing any research on it? Obviously it's hard for you as an individual to prove what was behind a particular decision, but you would think qualitative research that looked into the attitudes of the people making such decisions would be quite illuminating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leader from Beautiful Light! We had to wait three months to get this light, but it was totally worth it. I caught my breath when we took it out of the box. It is really beautiful and looks great in the bathroom we remodelled. I would definitely recommend it. Just beware that you could have to wait a while to get it.

It had been hours since Loki had been dragged out of the throne room. Just how many hours it had been, he didn't know, and at this point, didn't care. He had been screaming and fighting the whole way back to his chambers, and even then he had banged on the door for hours after, all the while continuing to shout and scream. He didn't care that ultimately it did him no good. He just wanted out. He needed out.
He only fell silent when from complete exhaustion he collapsed on the floor between the door and bed. When he awoke a few hours later, he was still alone, though he could tell that someone had entered while he had been asleep. A tray of food had been placed on the table, as well as a bucket of ice and a think, sturdy cloth.
Loki stood up and glanced down at his hand. It was badly bruised and slightly swollen, especially around his knuckles which had carried the brunt of the force as he'd hit Thor.
Wincing, Loki dumbed some of the ice onto the cloth and wrapped it around his injured hand. It was a wonder that he'd not sustained any more serious injuries from fighting Thor. Even at this rate, it would be a good few days before he could use his hand effectively again.
As the ice began to numb his pain, he stared distastefully at the food that had been brought. Though he had not eaten much through the entire day, he was still not hungry even now. How could he eat, knowing Caedra could at any moment be taken to Midgard and be gone forever? Loki still couldn't believe that only that morning he had held the young child asleep in his arms. Already it felt as though she had been gone for days. He needed to get her back. She would only be safe once she was once again in his arms.
But Loki was trapped. Thor had not been lax when he had commanded Loki's room to be locked with magic. And even if Loki could undo the spells, there was still the matter of the guards outside, and of course, Heimdall. He would most definitely be keeping a close eye on Loki at this time.
Loki paced furiously around his room, trying to think of a plan. How could he have been so foolish, so ignorant to forget his judgment? What had he been thinking? Why had he expected Thor to let him go after Caedra, or at least go with him? It seemed Thor would not show as much kindness as he once had. It seemed that Loki was not the only one who had changed.
Thor took the last few steps to Heimdall's observatory. Well, now it was just the broken edge of the Rainbow Bridge, but calling it the observatory still sounded better.
Heimdall stood by the very edge of the bridge, his sword in his hands as he stared out into the abyss. Though his back was turned to Thor, he was still aware of his presence. "If you have come for more information of the captors, there is not much I can tell you." He said slowly. "All the information I can give I already said to you and Prince Loki, and these men have not returned to my sight since."
Thor stayed where he was, his blue eyes steadily focused ahead of him. "There is something you still haven't told me about them." He said.
Heimdall slowly turned around to Thor. "My king?"
"When you say them, you said you did not know where they were," Thor paused, studying the guardian. "But you do, don't you?"
Heimdall remained still for a moment, contemplating whether or not to admit that he in fact had not revealed anything prior of their location. But as always, his duty to Asgard and his king overtook his personal judgment. "I thought it best not to disclose any information of their location in front of Prince Loki." He answered.
Thor tilted his head up slightly. Though he did not appreciate that Heimdall had held back such valuable information, he understood why. Had Loki heard where Caedra and Sif were being kept, he would have done anything and everything within his power to go after them – which would be going against Odin's judgment. Yes, it was better that Heimdall had kept information to himself at the time.
"Where are they?" he asked.
"There is a village not far to the west of here," Heimdall answered as he looked to the place with his sight. "It is a very small, desolate place. They will not be hard to find. From what I did see, these men hid behind the second building off the main road. If you hurry there you may still find them."
Thor nodded slowly. "Thank you, Heimdall." He said as he turned to leave.
"What will you do, my king?" Heimdall inquired. "Will you lead an army after them?"
Thor paused and turned back to the guardian. "No," he replied. "An army would only alert them and give them time to flee. I will go by myself and retrieve them."
Heimdall gave a slow, approving nod. "Farewell, my king," he said as he turned to once again stare out into the abyss.
Thor walked quickly to where he'd left his horse farther back on the Bridge. There were just a few necessary preparations he would have to make before he could depart, though he did not intend to be gone for very long.
It was late into the night, but still Lucius and Dronicus were awake. Sif was more or less awake as well, though she feigned sleeping as she leaned up against the tree. At her side, Caedra lay curled into a tight ball, asleep after the exhaustion of crying had overtaken her.
Sif had tried to undo or somehow cut her bonds, but they were still too strong to break and her captors would see if she tried to pull them loose with her teeth. She had, at least, managed to loosen them slightly. Given a little more time…perhaps she could get free.
As was his incredibly annoying habit, Dronicus was pacing around the edge of the camp, staring out nervously into the darkness. "Why hasn't he come already?" he complained to Lucius.
Lucius, who at least had been trying to sleep, sat up irritably and glared at him. "We're not being paid to ask questions. He will come whenever he pleases, and we will say nothing of it." He reminded Dronicus. "And would you stop moving around so much? You're making too much noise!"
Dronicus paused from his incessant pacing for a moment, though he couldn't keep still and quickly resumed moving. "We should be paid extra for waiting so long."
Lucius gave a frustrated sigh. "We were already paid handsomely for taking the girl. If – and it is doubtful – we were paid extra, it would be for taking that woman as well." He paused and glanced at Sif. "Though he may very well pay us less."
Dronicus glanced over to Sif, and noticed her movement. "Hey!" he said quickly, moving towards her.
Sif was impressed that the fool had even noticed she had been moving at all. He was always so jumpy and paranoid to notice anything of true importance anyway. She stopped moving and opened her eyes, glaring at both of her captors silently.
"What are you doing?" Dronicus asked, standing over her.
Sif glared up at him. "Can one not move when they sleep?" she asked. "It was nothing more than a vivid dream."
"Check her bonds," Lucius called, eyeing Sif suspiciously. He did not doubt that she was somehow trying to get free.
Dronicus moved closer to Sif, though he was careful to avoid Caedra. For whatever reason, he didn't like the child. It appeared that he was afraid of her. He grabbed Sif's arm and glanced down at her bonds. In the darkness they appeared to still be tight. He met her harsh gaze. "And what lurks through your dreams?" he whispered, his voice like the hissing of a weak snake.
Sif's glare held as she looked at him. "Nothing that would ever involve you," she snapped.
"Dronicus!" Lucius snapped before his companion could reply to her. He withdrew his dagger from his side. "Someone is coming!"
Dronicus quickly stepped away from Sif and pulled out his own dagger as both men watched to see who would approach out of the darkness.
"Who goes there?" Lucius called in a low voice.
"A friend," came a reply from the darkness. The voice was low and rough, and reminded Sif of the sound of stone slabs scraping against each other. She gave an involuntary shudder.
Both Lucius and Dronicus lowered their weapons, though they were still cautious. "What took you so long?" Lucius asked with a hint of resentment in his voice. "We've been waiting here for over a day. It's a wonder we've not been caught yet!"
"You've not been caught because of the enchanted stones I have you," the man in the shadows replied rather matter of fact like. "You do still have them?"
Lucius nodded. "Yes, we still have your precious, magic rocks. Though they stopped working earlier."
"What? When?" the man asked quickly.
Lucius gave a slight shrug as he thought back. "Not too long after we arrived here. But if the Asgardians had seen us, wouldn't they have come by now?"
"Fool," the man snapped, stepping out of the shadows and into the light of the fire. He was a tall man with dark brown hair and very pale skin, almost sickly in color. He was well muscled and obviously knew how to handle a sword. But it was his eyes that were the most unique – and frightening. His eyes were orange-yellow, and seemed to flicker red in the firelight. Never had Sif seen an Asgardian with such eyes. But that then brought an interesting question to her mind – was he even Asgardian? She did not know.
The man approached Lucius quickly and grabbed one of the stones from his hands and studied it. "We must leave immediately. If the Asgardians saw us, they will be here soon."
Lucius, though not appreciative of being criticized, did as he was told. He had Dronicus began to quickly gather their things.
"What will we do with her?" Dronicus asked, glancing at Sif.
The man turned around quickly, apparently unaware that she was even there. "What is the meaning of this?" he roared, looking back to Lucius and Dronicus. "You were only to take the child!"
"It's not our fault, Titus!" Dronicus interjected, whining like a child in trouble. "We couldn't get the girl alone and we couldn't leave this woman to call for the guards!"
Titus's yellow eyes flashed in anger. "And do either of you realize who this woman is? She is Lady Sif, one of Thor's closest allies. His haste to come will be even greater if he knows she was taken as well, and I guarantee that he knows."
"So we take her to Midgard with the girl." Lucius replied with a shrug. "What does it matter?"
"It matters," Titus snapped. "To me. But you have done enough. We will take both of them to Midgard. Now, do you have the rest of the stones ready?"
Thor gripped the pommel of Mjolnir as he dismounted his horse. This village was just as desolate as Heimdall had said it to be. In the darkness, the whole place seemed void of life, and Thor doubted it would have looked any better in the daylight.
His long strides carried him down the road and into the village. He did not doubt that he could handle these men, but he was concerned that if a fight were to ensue, something might happen to Sif and Caedra. If either was hurt or worse, killed, there would be no place in the Nine Realms for these men to go that Thor would not follow.
Thor passed by the first house and continued on down the road. Heimdall had said he'd seen them behind the second house, so that is where he would go. Even in the darkness, he could see the very faint glow of a fire in the distance. He was getting close.
"You," Titus said, glancing at Sif, "Bring the child."
Sif glared at him. Though he did frighten her somewhat, she refused to show it. "I cannot so long as my hands are bound," she replied dryly. She doubted that he would cut her free, but the statement had been made to prove she would not obey his word as a child would to their parent.
Titus was unmoved as he continued to glare at her. "Bring. The. Child." He commanded, emphasizing each word.
Sif could have stared him down had they had the time, but she was well aware that Titus was eager to leave, and she did not wish to find out what he would do to Caedra to make them hurry, or even to merely prove that he was not a man to be questioned.
Holding his glare, Sif turned and gently nudged Caedra to awake.
The child stirred and opened her eyes, looking up to Sif with a pleading and frightened gaze. "Is Loki here?" she whispered, keeping her voice quiet for fear of Lucius striking her again.
Sif shook her head slowly. "No, child," she whispered.
"Where is Loki?" Caedra asked. "Is he coming?"
"I don't know," Sif replied. No, Loki would not be coming. He wouldn't even be leaving the palace, but how could she explain that to this young child? Better to let Caedra think he might come. "But we are going somewhere for now," she added. "You must stay close to me. Understand?"
Caedra nodded silently as Sif stood slowly and took hold of her hand.
"Everything is ready, Titus," Dronicus informed quickly.
Titus glanced at the stones, though he didn't take the time to study them. "Are you sure they are the right ones?" he questioned.
Dronicus nodded. "They are the ones you gave to us," he replied.
Titus gave a short nod. "Very well," he said, stepping over to the stones and waving his hand over them slowly. A blue light appeared from within them, surrounding the area in an eerie blue glow.
Sif recognized the light as an effect of dark energy, though she had never seen it used in such a manner. The light grew brighter as Titus poured his energy into the stones. Within a few short minutes ere would be enough energy to transport them.
As Thor approached, he saw the blue light of the magic as it appeared, and he too recognized it as dark energy. Despite the use of the stones (which was something he had never seen used before), it was the same magic Loki had the ability to use. Well at least Thor knew he had come to the right place. With a steady stride he continued forward.
Dronicus, ever jumpy and searching for things that were not there, was the first to notice Thor's approach. In fear he looked to his companions. "Titus!" he called warily.
Titus lifted his gaze from the stones and looked to Thor, his yellow eyes almost completely red now as his hands moved to his sides.
"Thor!" Sif cried, overjoyed to see him there. She tried to move closer to him but all three of her captors blocked her path.
Though he was relieved to see that Sif and Caedra were both still well, Thor showed no emotion towards that fact. He stared straight at Titus, the rage already visible in his blue eyes. "Release them traitors," he commanded, his voice echoing into the darkness.
Titus laughed, a sound even more frightening than when he spoke. "Or what, Asgardian?" he sneered.
Thor raised Mjolnir into the air. "Or die," he answered. Clouds began to roll in as lightning flashed around them. As Thor shot the lightning towards them, Titus threw up his hands – but not in defense. He had cast a spell.
A wall of energy shot up from the ground, stopping the lightning from reaching them and making it unable for Thor to cross. Each time he tried to approach, a blast of energy sent him back. Titus smiled in amusement.
"I would love to stay and watch this continue, but I'm afraid I have my own plans to attend to," he said, and with a wave of his hand, the wall of energy turned into solid stone.
The stones on the ground were now energized enough, the portal open. All that was needed was for Titus to place one last stone down…
The stone wall shook as Thor thrust Mjolnir against it. Crack appeared all over the structure. It would only last for a moment longer.
With the attention of her captors momentarily off the stones, Sif took the moment to her advantage. She pulled against her loosened bonds and was free. She pushed past Lucius and Dronicus and grabbed for Titus's hand, knocking the stone out and sending it flying into the darkness as she tackled him instead. Both struggled as Sif kicked at him, knocking the bag of remaining stones from his side.
Thor was almost through. Just a moment longer and…
Lucius and Dronicus pulled Sif off as Titus reached for a stone – not the one he originally had - and set it with the others just as the wall crumbled away. Dark energy surrounded Sif, Caedra, Lucius, Titus, and Dronicus, spiriting them away before Thor's eyes.
Thor rushed forward, but they were gone. All that remained were the stones on the ground, both the pile and bag that Sif had knocked free.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! WHY?!?!?!? Why did you have to pull a Steven Moffat on us and leave us at such a cliffhanger?!?!? D'X
What I really like is the amount of action in this chapter and the the amout of visual detail we get from it. This could really be made into a movie. Its just... GAH! I IT!!!

lol your sister said I did the same thing on a different story thing. but cliffhangers are necessary! Gotta make people still interested in reading the next part, you know?
I'm glad you think the action was good, because it was very tedious to write. but hey, if this one turned out well then hopefully the other action scenes will be good too...

I know, my sister and I think a lot alike. And I get that they're necessary, but I have a serious love/hate relationship with them - more on the hate side. And the other action scenes will be amazing too, I'm sure. Keep it up!

Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.
and you can draw anything from any chapter, not just Silence. I'd actually rather see art for all the different chapters rather that a lot of art for just one.
yeah I get it ^_^

Wow, that was awesome!! (Can I be Titus? the bad guys always have the best magic!)
Agh! The cliffhangers!!!!! I want more!!!!
Oh Thor is going to have the time of his life when he tells Loki what happened, and I think I figured out the names......
oh yeah...that's gonna be so much fun to write though!
have you figured them out? Do tell
have you figured them out? Do tell
Yup, such fun! I cheated and looked up the names of Titus and Dronicus and got Titus Anddronicus. It was a tragedy by William Shakespeare and Tom did Shakespeare plays?.....I suddenly now think that this is not the real reason
aaaaah so that's how you found out! So yes, their names are because of "Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare. As to why it became their names...well that's a story for a different time, and shockingly enough it has nothing to do with Tom...
YAYAYA!! I figured it out!Ohhh, duh,duh,DUH!!! But Tom has done Shakespearean plays........hmm, may I ask why or another time?
The 7th! Yayy!!!
It was awesome!
It was awesome!
Oooooh. This is getting good. I'm guessing that Thor will have no choice but to release Loki now... if only to help him retrieve Caedra and Lady Sif from Midgard.
hmm...I suppose he could...and he might can't give anything away because that's one of the best scenes coming, I think!
This is getting really, really good! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Thank you!
I really want to get started on the next part because it's got a lot of really good dialogue...and that's the most fun to write!

Picture: Sean Penn "Into the Wild" Los Angeles Premiere at the Director's Guild of America Los Angeles, California - 18.09.07
OSCAR-winner Sean Penn was surprised when veteran character actor HARRY DEAN STANTON didn't recognise him in the 1980s, because the pair had recently spent a week partying together.
Penn was visiting his friend Mickey Rourke on the set of 9 1/2 WEEKS, and the pair ended up carousing nightclubs with Stanton, famed for parts in classics including THE GODFATHER PART II, REPO MAN, and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
But just weeks later Penn was left dumbfounded when he met up with Stanton again - and realised the actor had no idea who he was.
Penn, now 44, says, "I was in New York when they were shooting 9 1/2 Weeks, and I spent about a week with Mickey Rourke and Harry Dean Stanton, going out to nightclubs all the time. I was a big admirer of Harry's work.
"Then Harry left, went back to Los Angeles. Two week later I was back too, and I went up to what was a private club, On The Rox. It was about 11 o'clock at night and the only other person in the whole place was Harry Dean.
"And so I sat and talked to Harry, and he didn't remember me at all. No idea who I was.
"I'd just spent a week as a roommate with him two weeks ago."19/10/2004 02:24

Recent research (see www.nytimes.com/2008/01/29/health/29brod.html?_r=1&ref=science) has turned up solid, quantifiable, and most important, curable causes of the pain: some women, the researchers found, had serious inflammation two cell layers deep that had not responded to steroids, a typical treatment. What's even more interesting is that many of the women have a genetic abnormality as I'm sure they could've guessed, considering the kind of hypersensitivity they've been putting up with in which there are too many nerve fibers in the area, which produces a pain response to what in other women would just be normal sensation, like the pressure from your jeans against your crotch while seated. The linked article contains some success stories; the treatments (surgical or medical) are not perfect, but they have the potential to make life worth living again for some women who've been silently suffering, too embarrassed or too debilitated to say anything about it. That does count as good news, no?
I don't really see a National Crotch Pain Month hitting the calendar anytime soon, but I do see this as the beginning of the end of one more way for women to suffer in silence and shame, so a cautious hooray for that.

After 22 years, Smoke is still a favorite at the Cumberland County Playhouse
The ever-popular Smoke on the Mountain returns to Tennessee's Family Theater on May 22. Now in its twenty-second consecutive year at the Cumberland County Playhouse, Smoke continues to play to sold-out crowds and delight audiences again and again.
"It's always huge fun to direct Smoke," says Smoke's director Weslie Webster. "Each year, I get to welcome new talent to the cast, plus I get to work with veteran actors who have performed in this show hundreds of times."
In fact, Daniel Black has, at one time or another, appeared onstage as every male member of the Sanders family as well as Rev. Oglethorpe.
"Even though when I went on as Mervin it was in A Sanders Family Christmas." says Black with a laugh, "I think that might still be some kind of record."
Smoke takes place on a Saturday night in Mount Pleasant, NC, and the Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family Singers to provide an uplifting e vening of song. The audience becomes the congregation as two dozen traditional and original hymns weave together with stories of witness from family members, along with a healthy dose of laughter.
Though the Sanders Family try to appear perfect in the eyes of a critical congregation who are skeptical about the whole notion of a "Saturday Night Sing," one thing after another goes awry and they reveal their true—and hilariously imperfect—natures.
The honesty, humor (sometimes unintentional!) and faith of this Southern mountain family and the church's new preacher connect strongly with audiences of all ages and faiths, who find themselves part of a very special afternoon or evening.
Leading off this year's cast are Playhouse favorites Patty Payne as June Sanders, Jason Ross as Mervin Oglethorpe, and Daniel Black as Burl Sanders; among the three of them, they've appeared in well over one thousand performances of Smoke since the show opened in the Adventure Theater in 1994!
The cast also includes Lauren Marshall, who does double duty as Vera Sanders and the show's Music Director. John Dobbratz will appear as Uncle Stanley, with Chance Wall as son Dennis and Ellie Burnett as Dennis's twin sister Denise.
Says director Webster, "I truly think we've assembled the perfect cast for the Playhouse's 50 th Anniversary year. The energy and joy of all the actors is just thrilling—and the relationships have never been stronger!"
Smoke on the Mountain opens May 22, 2015 and runs through October 10.

Who are they fooling? You don't piss of the press. The honeymoon is just about over with the true media not the cable tv talking heads. The true journalists have been slapped in the face and they are getting wary.

Helen Thomas and some of the others apparently have been offended by Rush, Sean Hannity and others using the term "the state run media" and have started doing their job again.

What: Academic Decathlon Super Quiz
Who: El Dorado, Oak Ridge, Ponderosa and Union Mine high schools
Where: Union Mine High School, Theater at the Mine, 6530 Koki Lane in El Dorado
When: Saturday, Feb. 2, at 3 p.m.
Information: Susan Carney at [email protected] or 530-295-2216
For high school students and parents seeking competitive events outside of contact sports, there is a smart alternative.
The Academic Decathlon features a progressive scholastic contest which promotes learning and excellence through teamwork. From neighborhood to national, the school teams advance until they're eliminated or crowned a winner.
In its 45th year, the event has grown from a somewhat limited beginning in Orange County to a revered national program involving all 50 states.
In El Dorado County El Dorado, Oak Ridge, Ponderosa and Union Mine high schools field teams composed of a starting line up of nine competitors and alternates.
A common misconception is that only A students are selected for the teams.
Not so, said Susan Carney, administrative assistant to Dr. Vicki L. Barber, Superintendent of the El Dorado County Office of Education.
"The most intriguing aspect of the Academic Decathlon is its democracy," Carney said.
She points out that each nine-person squad is composed of three A students, three B students and three C students, not just the elite 4.0 scholars. These academic grade levels are known as Honor, Scholastic and Varsity.
"Honors students are the easiest to recruit," she affirmed. "The most difficult group to attract is the C students."
This might be because some haven't developed the study skills and scholastic motivations of the A students.
"These kids bring native intelligence and great energy to the competition and seem to gain the most from participating. I've seen total turn-arounds in self-esteem and career planning," Carney said.
Each county competition is based around a single subject. The topic for this year is "Russia."
With an expected roster of 25 speech judges, 20 interview judges and a dozen speech timers and room coordinators, the event is meticulously managed and its outcome trusted.
The interview, speech and essay writing portion of the competition take place on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at Union Mine High School.
In the speech competition judges look for: speech development, effectiveness, correct grammar, pronunciation, voice, speech and value in the prepared speech. The impromptu speeches are judged on content, delivery and overall effectiveness.
The essay portion of the competition presents three topics to choose from. The topics are kept secret until the contestants sit down to write. The essay competition is proctored – no talking and no reference materials. Students have 50 minutes to write an essay with only a pen and paper.
For the interviews Rotarians and other community volunteers interview students, evaluating voice, language usage, non-verbal language, listening skills and overall effectiveness.
The rest of the 10 disciplines making up the Academic Decathlon are set for Saturday, Feb. 2 at Union Mine.
The final event in the scholarly competition is the Super Quiz and it is open to the public.
Last year the 2012 Super Quiz was followed by the awards ceremony which resembled a Who's Who of county prominence including El Dorado County Sheriff John D'Agostini, El Dorado County Supervisor Ray Nutting, Superior Court Judge Warren Stracener and other movers and shakers of education, justice, law and administration.
One hundred fifty volunteers are needed to properly conduct the Academic Decathlon experience.
Before the event, students scrimmage at intense study session, facing tough questions and enduring mock exams.
As the Saturday meet unfolds, each team member competes against other students (in the same grade division,) in these events: Art — Russian Art and Architecture; Economics — the economy of Communist and Post-Communist Russia; Language and Literature — Boris Pasternak and the National Epic; Mathematics — Overview of Permutations and Combinations, Algebra, and Statistics; Music — Russian Music; Science — Space Exploration; and Social Science — Russian History.
The last of the 10 disciplines is the Super Quiz, made up of questions from the previous tests.
Overall team scores are calculated using the top two individual scores from each grade division.
Winning students receive medals – gold, silver and bronze and the winning teams earn trophies. The winning team from El Dorado County will travel to the state tournament.
Teams who win respective state competitions go on to the national level.
Unlike some other school districts, local decathletes are unable to use classroom time to prepare, and must be resourceful with their schedules.
Terri Kessler, a teacher at Ponderosa High School, is that school's decathlon coach.
"Without the benefit of special time grants these scholars pull double duty," she said. "And look at what they can deliver."
Ponderosa has captured the county championship for 20 consecutive years.
Funding for the El Dorado County Academic Decathlon comes from community sponsors and from the general fund of the El Dorado Union High School District. The El Dorado County Office of Education funds a coordinator and a part-time administrative assistant.
Businesses and organizations such as Minuteman Press in Placerville and Placerville Kiwanis provide critical help.
Barber praised the aid.
"Our county program has been successful for more than 25 years due, in part, to the efforts of over 150 volunteers serving in various capacities: speech and interview judges, testing proctors, computer programmer, registrar or master of ceremonies. Contributions of time or any dollar amount are also gratefully accepted," Barber said.
The Super Quiz and awards ceremony will take place at Union Mine High School, Theater at the Mine, 6530 Koki Lane in El Dorado, on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 3 p.m.
The public can paint their faces, show off T-shirt messages and cheer during the Super Quiz portion. The decathletes know this competition may be their only shot at a national title of any kind, but unlike Super Bowl football warriors, they realize there's a great victory in having even suited up.

Elgin City's Borough Briggs stadium
/ Sport
ELGIN CITY are today counting the full cost of their ticket-sale shambles after the SFL fined the Highland club £25,000.
A portion of the fine – £5000 – will be donated to a charity of Rangers' choosing.
Elgin have also been ordered to pay the Ibrox club compensation for costs incurred in preparing for the match.
The Irn-Bru Third Division game, due to be played last Sunday, was called off by Grampian Police and the SFL after it became clear on Friday that ticket sales exceeded the safety capacity of the Borough Briggs ground by around 1100.
The match was due to be shown live by ESPN, and the fee for this – which would have gone to the SFL – has already been lost.
Elgin feared they would be docked points for their over-selling fiasco. But the SFL's board yesterday decided a heavy fine will suffice.
The Moray side have already begun refunding tickets, and the SFL have revealed that the date of the rearranged match will be announced later this week.
Ironically, the sides meet in the William Hill Scottish Cup at Ibrox on Sunday. And, with gate receipts from what is expected to be a bumper crowd split between the clubs, Elgin could find themselves still in profit from a week which has seen their reputation badly tarnished.

On January 10, FAIR put out an Action Alert asking people to write to National Public Radio about an apparent blind spot in its Middle East reporting. NPR had been referring to the situation in Israel and Palestine around the New Year as a time of "relative calm" or "comparative quiet," explaining at one point that "only one Israeli has been killed in those three weeks." What NPR didn't explain was that during this "quiet" period, an average of one Palestinian per day was being killed by Israeli occupation forces. (See http://www.fair.org/activism/npr-israel-quiet.html.)
In answer to our alert, at least several hundred people wrote to NPR, calling for Middle East reporting that paid attention to the victims of violence on all sides. Yet even as these letters were pouring in, NPR continued to present the same distorted view of the conflict.
All Things Considered anchor Noah Adams opened a January 14 report on the assassination of a Palestinian militia leader, and the militia's revenge murder of an Israeli civilian, by declaring that "deadly violence returned to the Middle East today"–as if deadly violence hadn't been happening to Palestinians on an almost daily basis all along. On the January 17 All Things Considered, anchor Melissa Block prefaced a question by asserting, "Until early this week there'd been almost a month of relatively reduced violence there"– a premise that was not corrected by correspondent Linda Gradstein. And on January 18, correspondent Peter Kenyon referred on Morning Edition to "the recent lull in violence."
NPR ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin, to whom the activists' letters were addressed, does seem to recognize the problem. Appearing on January 17 with media critic Ali Abunimah on WJHU, a Baltimore NPR affiliate, Dvorkin agreed with the criticism and said that NPR's foreign desk had told hosts and correspondents to reflect the reality of the situation. But this intervention does not seem to have resulted in changed coverage– in fact, two of the repetitions of the distortion noted above occurred within the next 24 hours. Even as late as January 30, Linda Gradstein was referring to the "period of relative calm," as if no one had ever pointed out to NPR that this characterization ignored the deaths of dozens of Palestinians.
Despite the hundreds of individual letters he has received, Dvorkin has yet to issue a formal comment on the issue. But in a brief January 25 response to a FAIR activist, Dvorkin wrote, "After FAIR pointed out the phrase 'relative calm,' NPR corrected that inaccuracy in future reports." In fact, the inaccuracy was repeated, and keeps being repeated. Something seems to be amiss in the way NPR handles legitimate complaints from the public.
ACTION: Please write to NPR ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin and ask him to respond substantively to the hundreds of letters he has received about NPR's Mideast coverage, including an explanation of how NPR can repeat the same distortion after it has been "corrected."
CONTACT: Jeffrey Dvorkin, NPR firstname.lastname@example.com

Biking, Cape May
5 Reviews
5 Reviews
There are several places in Cape May to rent surreys or bicycles--Cape Island Bicycles is one of them. If you have leisure time, why not see Cape May at your own speed!
Rates are $4.00 per hour to rent kid bikes or $9.00 for the day; a single speed bike is $4.00 per hour or $10 for the day; tandem bike $10 per hour; adult tricycle $6 per hour; jogging stroller $5 per hour or $12.00 for the day. This shop also rents surreys by the hour, $25 for small and $30 for large.
If you a short a beach chair or two, the charge is $5 for the day or $15 for the week.
This nicely kept place (the John McConnell House) is a private home located on Columbia Street in Cape May. Surprisingly, not all of the Victorian homes have been turned into B&B's! Many of them have dated plaques showing the approximate age of the homes.
Cape May is a very walkable town and one can get a good glimpse of it this way. Surreys, bikes, trolley and horse carriage rides are other popular modes for seeing this historic place.
Excellent shopping can be found at Washington Mall, where the ticket booth is located and souvenirs can be found in abundance.
This gave us a different view of Cape May, but it sure was hard pedaling! My daughter is giving her opinion of the driving from the back seat! Surreys are a very popular way of seeing the town. Each time we visit, surreys are plying these historic streets!
There are a number of places that rent surreys. One just has to drive around town to find them. If you happen to be in a car and find yourself behind one, please be patient. It's not easy making your way through town on one of these conveyances.
Pricing as of July, 2009: The Village Bicycle Shop charges $15 per hour for a two person surrey, $30 per hour for a four person surrey. They are located at 605 LaFayette St. (609-884-8500).
Go for a bike ride around town, this is one of the best ways to see Cape May and it's beautiful victorian hotels & homes. Make sure you bring your camera on this trip with lots of batteries. This is a relaxing way to view the beauty of this town, it really takes you back in time. There are many places to lock your bikes up so you can walk and explore too. You can bike to North Cape May to Cape May Point State Park then Sunset Beach with no problems because it is so flat, no hills at all.
Rent a bike and ride around town...you see so much because it's not that big.
You can stop and look at all the Victorian homes, grab a bite to eat, ride the boardwalk, go shopping and see the beach all in one afternoon!

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (cancer.osu.edu) strives to create a cancer-free world by integrating scientific research with excellence in education and patient-centered care, a strategy that leads to better methods of prevention, detection and treatment. Ohio State is one of only 41 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers and one of only seven centers funded by the NCI to conduct both phase I and phase II clinical trials. The NCI recently rated Ohio State's cancer program as "exceptional," the highest rating given by NCI survey teams. As the cancer program's 210-bed adult patient-care component, The James is a "Top Hospital" as named by the Leapfrog Group and one of the top 20 cancer hospitals in the nation as ranked by U.S. News & World Report.
