Is this true unending freezing where no control or force quitting can be used, or just freezing for long periods?
Most of the 1st instance is from incompatible or damages .kexts that are at the heart of the OS to control/access the Hardware. Most of the second instance are due to reduced resources like RAM, Disk Free Space, or intermittent hardware problems.

. my memory is foggy on how long I've waited for a freeze;
I now consider a freeze forever if it
prevents me from reaching the force quit menu or keys .
. I may have incompatible or damaged .kexts ?
not sure what causes those;
the problem typically happens when
Apple upgrades the OS;
I suppose because that is testing new parts of my GPU .
. I don't think buggy motherboards or video cards are going away;
I wish Apple would architect things to stay in control .

If you have 3rd party kexts installed, the likely need to be removed or updated when the OS changes.

. thanks for pointing me at .kexts (kernel extensions);
I wasn't aware that any of my apps used .kexts,
but the MacFUSE I just tossed does use them .
. I had soundflower too,
but the Lion upgrade apparently rejected it .
the other apps I'm running that are not Apple's
include FlipForMac WMV (doesn't appear to use a .kext)
and the newest version of Vmware Fusion
3.1.4 (683826).

Have you every opened Console & checked the crash logs or system log for the causes?
How to read Crash Logs...
AmericiumDreamDocuments May 9, 2012 1:05 AM
in response to BDAqua
thank you,
I look forward to developing for mac eventually,
and tn2123.html should help with my bugs;
in the case of the freezes I'm getting,
there are no crash reports;
the software is simply looping,
or the hardware communcations are waiting,
so I'm giving it a hard reset .
. someone mentioned that such a frozen machine
is still responsive to network traffic,
and if you have an iphone, you can use it to
log in and send a shutdown command .
. they never mentioned how to do that,
and since I recently got an ipod touch,
I'm thinking about researching that;
but most of my work is in komodo edit,
and that has automated backups .
a brody May 9, 2012 2:37 AM
in response to AmericiumDreamDocuments
Automatic backups can freeze a machine that is too full. Mac OS X requires at least 15% of your disk space to be free to avoid the most common freeze occurances. I recommend Textwrangler for editing text files on the Mac. And system wide automatic backups can really freeze if you have too many files. I only do backups when my machine is unattended.
AmericiumDreamDocuments May 9, 2012 7:04 AM
in response to a brody
komodo edit could never overfill the machine;
because I have it contained in a virtual machine
that has a fixed-size memory allocation .
. I understand Textwrangler is a great, free mac editor;
but, one reason I'm using komodo edit
is that I like to work in a virtual machine;
and one great, free operating system for doing that
is ubuntu linux, but Textwrangler does not support linux .
. for more about virtual macines, see vmware Fusion.
a brody May 9, 2012 7:21 AM
in response to AmericiumDreamDocuments
Oh I'm quite familiar with them. I suggest working with VMWare on finding out what may be tasking your system. I use VirtualBox instead of VMWare. You don't need Linux to run Komodo Edit:
Running an entire Linux operating system on top of Mac OS X is a resource hog in of itself, and not all Virtual Machines are optimized the same way.
AmericiumDreamDocuments May 9, 2012 1:29 PM
in response to a brody
. I do actually have komodo edit on the mac too,
but, I like to run my editor next to my browser,
and, I'm quite convinced that a browser in a virtual machine
is still safer than any browser directly on the mac;
simply because the malware has 2 hoops to jump through
before it can get to the host kernel,
unless it knows of a vmware hole .
. when I first ran VirtualBox I was really excited about
openware that would protect me from browser malware .
. but VirtualBox was not ready;
and, it made me have your exact sentiments:
"( Running an entire Linux [OS] on top of Mac OS X
is a resource hog ...) -- it crawled;
but do I actually have to buy vmware?!
. VMWare, on the other hand,
not only had a lightning fast mouse action,
it also had a working usb connection;
and, it was very stable on Leapard
(can't recall VirtualBox's record on that count).
. I have been following both the VMWare and Apple threads
on this total hard freeze,
and some other people here have claimed
the same thing I did:
a new version of kernel or kext caused the
hidden flaws in the hardware to become obvious .
. some claimed to fix the flaw by
rolling back to Leapard,
others by going back to earlier versions vmware,
and some by replacing the mother board or graphics card .
. multi-threading is notoriously hard,
and today's GCD is massively multi-threaded
by way of the grossly complicated GPU cores .
. my point has been,
a pre-emptive OS is a pretty simple concept;
so, why can't we have one?
. if an OS is really rock solid,
it should never be the case that an app can
cause a hard freeze; an app is just a task,
and the task supervisor should always be
making a routine visit to the user's gui task;
so, vmware or any other app
has nothing to do with it:
in a solid OS, an app's kext should not even be
capable of tying up the thread supervisor .
. what they need to do is replace mach with the L4,
and not bloat the task manager .
(again, I'm no expert, I'm looking for
verification of my hunches ).

No one is perfect. Case and point your syntax does not meet English grammatical standards. While fine in some geek realms, if you hope to obtain a job in an English speaking office, you need to understand as well as write more clear English. Capitalize as I do every first letter of every sentence. Attempt to put your periods and the end of the last word without spacing it from the last word. Have a look at Strunk and White's "Elements of Style." And once you can get a job as a programmer maybe one day you'll be able to get a job at http://www.apple.com/jobs.html and uncover the true weaknesses of Apple's kernel, and not just guess where they reside. Because until then, all you have is hearsay about which system is more stable, and no way to really prove it. I am not perfect either, but I make every effort as a 40 year old to communicate with the tools I am aware of. Rules in English are the same as rules in programming. They are there to hold the structure together. You disregard structure at your own peril.

The colors are really good, very pretty.
The colors are really good, very pretty.
This is so beautiful. Awesome use of color.

It's good to see more art of her. I really like your style.
striking a sexy pose in the middle of a forest?
Nice job!
Nice job!
I love the design style for her.
Hot damn, i would love to see like a tutorial or livestream of you drawing these ponies. I feel like i would learn a lot.
I.... hate to admit it but... I have a crush on Fleur De Lis. Dagnabbit
nice job, i really like your style!
The body and neck are perfectly fine. The right leg, however...

A day passed, Ethan didn't see or hear from Ryan or the other demon. He had wanted to speak more with Ryan, possibly convince him to help him in his situation. Ryan still intimidated him, but at least he wasn't hostile.
After using the medical kit Ryan had given him to properly bandage his injured foot, Ethan started to regain hope for himself. He had made his way back to town and lingered for a bit, staying hidden in the shadows.
This, however, caused him to be worried again. His story was big news, everywhere he went he heard people talking about a boy who was killed by a demon; or even warped stories such as that a demon had killed and eaten a boy and then killed the entire household.
What scared Ethan the most was that while the majority of the people were scared, many others were angry. Fearing for their own lives, several people had put out a reward of cash for anyone who could bring in the demon, dead or alive.
Ethan avoided the people as much as he could, but couldn't help listening in to their conversations to hear if they called off the chase or not. So far, people were still looking for him. He even passed by several small groups of people who were looking for him intently.
He now crouched in an alley, sitting in the dark shadows behind a dumpster and wondered what to do. Ethan kept an eye on the entrance to the alley, praying that none of the small groups looking for him would enter.
So far no one had passed by, and it was silent. But suddenly, there were footsteps. Ethan tried to curl up into the smallest ball possible and froze in the shadows, but he couldn't help shaking in fear.
A man stepped into the alley, whistling a public domain song cheerfully. He was carrying a bag, and walked towards Ethan. His paranoia getting to him, Ethan's mind began racing, thinking that he was going to be caught soon. The man, however, stopped in front of the dumpster. He opened the lid and swung the bag inside, and then walked out of the alley; not taking a second glance at the hidden boy.
Once he was absolutely sure that the man would not come back, Ethan relaxed and let out a sigh of relief. Remaining silent to listen for any others, he remained in the shadows until yet another sound made him jump.
It was a soft mewling sound, followed by several voices of the same quality. Ethan turned his head slightly and noticed they were coming from an old and rotted box beside him. The box was open at the top, and seemed to move slightly as if it contained something living. The side of the box indicated that it once contained cans of tuna, but it was obvious that the canned ocean fish was long gone.
A fluffy tail appeared over the top of the box into view, followed by two pointed ears and amber eyes as a cat stood up and stretched. The caramel coffee colored tabby looked at Ethan, its expression unreadable. Ethan was afraid he would frighten it, but the cat merely glanced at him and then looked down into the box as if it saw demonic beings every day.
The mewling from the box continued, and the cat bent down and picked something up. It was now obvious that the cat was a female, as she held one of her small kittens in her mouth. Carrying it gently by the scruff of its neck, she stepped out of the box and set the kitten on the ground.
The mother cat stepped back into the box, leaving the young kitten to pad around and mew. The mother cat stepped out of the box again, holding another kitten. She set it on the ground next to its sibling and returned to the box. She repeated these actions until four kittens were out of the box, mewling and padding around; their small fluffy tails straight up like flags.
It was only now that Ethan noticed their physiques. The mother was terribly thin, emaciated, even. The kittens fared no better, although their fluffy fur made them appear healthier. The mother cat glanced at Ethan again, but then turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley. She flicked her tail and looked back at the tumbling kittens playing joyfully. The kittens got to their paws and ran after their mother, joyful and carefree.
Ethan watched as they went, in a happier mood. Fluffy kittens often helped one cheer up. But he felt sorry for them, they looked so malnourished. He wanted to help them, and was about to go after them; when thoughts of people wanting to kill him returned. Ethan sat back down and tried to get the thoughts out of his head; so he thought of the family of cats.
He thought about how the mother had helped the kittens, all the while thoughts of death flashed through his mind like flashes of lightening, highlighted by memory of gunshots from the night he was forced to run away. The kittens had someone to help them; perhaps he could find someone to help him as well.
Ethan could think of only one option to help him survive. He had to go find another demon and ask for help. Ethan got to his feet and looked around. He didn't want to go out onto the sidewalk as the cats had done, there could be people out. He was relieved when he spotted a fire escape ladder up the side of the building, and walked over to use it.
Scaling the ladder and then climbing some, Ethan managed to reach the roof of the three story building. Checking beforehand to make sure it was vacant, he crawled onto the empty roof and looked around; keeping low.
He crawled over to the edge of the roof and looked down, trying to stay hidden. He saw the family of cats again, walking along the sidewalk. He decided to follow them along the rooftops, moving along slowly.
They eventually reached the side of a small park, a stream cut through the park there. The mother cat walked down to the stream to take a drink, and the kittens followed suit. Ethan stopped as well, watching them peacefully. There were no people in the park, and the only sounds were the wind rustling the leaves, birds chirping, and the stream flowing.
However, another sound was soon added to that list. There was a soft metallic rattling noise. Ethan looked up, and saw someone else on the roof of the opposite building. Quickly, Ethan flattened himself to the roof; thankful that this one had a border on its edges.
After a minute or two of not getting attacked or called out, Ethan peeked over the edge of the roof at the other building. His heart raced madly.
Someone stood on the roof, crouching on the edge of it. The source of the sound was seen; it was a large metal chain wrapped around one of their arms. The person was a boy, he seemed around Ethan's age. Ethan wondered for a second whether they were human or not, and quickly realized they were a demon. One of their hands was set on the edge of the roof, and large cat-like claws extended from each finger. Unlike the demon he had seen earlier, these claws were not black, but more like the ones you'd see on an ordinary house cat.
Besides the chain around his arm, the boy was donned in black pants and a gray jacket, lined with beige fur. A small chain hung around his neck, and his hair was short and dark brown.
His face was hidden by a mask, which confused Ethan. The mask was nearly identical to Ryan's, but was more fox-like and, rather than a color scheme of black, red, and gold; it was white, red, and blue. It seemed almost friendlier, as this one lacked the unsettling glare and grin of Ryan's mask.
Ethan was greatly relieved when he realized that this demon hadn't noticed him. The demon was looking down towards the stream. Suddenly and skillfully, the demon pounced over the edge of the three story building and grabbed the edge of the roof, now hanging off the edge with his feet on the side. Seizing the ledge of a window, he hopped down and grabbed a pipe running vertically down the wall. Then, sliding down the pipe, he made it to the top of the first story and then let go of it. Twisting in the air in a fashion not unlike a cat, he landed on the ground on all fours.
Awestruck by how easily the demon had done that, Ethan stared in wonder at him. The demon got to his feet and dusted himself off slightly, but then walked over to the stream where the cats were now resting.
Ethan suddenly grew worried when he saw the demon approaching the cats. Knowing that some demons preferred raw meat to feast on, he stared, terrified, as this one casually strolled towards the innocent felines.
However, one of the kittens noticed him first and let out a high pitched mew. It quickly padded towards the demon; its tail up and fluffy. The demon watched as it approached and slowed down, looking down at his feet when the kitten reached him so he wouldn't step on it. The demon reached down towards the kitten, his claws sheathed as much as possible, and picked up the kitten. Despite the fact that the mask covered the demon's emotions, Ethan could tell he was smiling.
The demon stroked the kitten's soft fur as he walked down to the stream to the other cats. He placed the kitten down next to its mother and then reached over and petted her. The mother cat purred and rubbed around his legs. The demon then reached down and picked up the mother cat, and walked over to the start of a small bridge that was over the stream. He set her down and then patted her on the head, and then began walking slowly over the bridge while looking back at her.
The mother cat turned and meowed at the kittens, who stopped playing and ran after her. Once they were all by her, she turned and followed the demon across the bridge.
Seeing them move on, Ethan looked around to see where to go. He walked over to the other edge of the roof and managed to make it to the roof of the building next to him. He continued along the rooftops after the demon and the cats.
Soon, the demon lead them to a lot besides a small store. There didn't appear to be any people around the outside of the store, so the demon walked casually. He made a motion with his hands towards the cat, and then jumped up and climbed the side of the building to a small window high up on the wall. Opening it, the demon managed to crawl through it and disappeared from sight.
The mother cat sat down and waited patiently, as did Ethan; the kittens remained their happy playful selves and hopped around their mother energetically.
A few minutes passed by, and the demon returned to the window. His mask was pushed up slightly, showing that he had three red markings on his skin on each cheek. He was holding something in his mouth; Ethan could see his sharp teeth as well. The demon crawled out of the window and clung to the side of the building as he closed it. He then turned and jumped to the ground, landing on all fours as he did before.
Taking the item from his mouth and setting the mask right on his face, the demon crouched down in front of the cats, who seemed to get eager. The label of the bag now forward, Ethan could see that it was a bag of cat food.
The demon unsheathed one of his sharp claws and stuck it near the top of the bag, he then dragged it across the top in the plastic; ripping a hole in it. Tipping the small bag over, the demon let its contents out in a pile on the ground; small cuts of fish in some kind of sauce.
The mother cat meowed gratefully, and looked around at her kittens. The kittens mewled and ran forward, wolfing down food as if they hadn't eaten in days. After the kittens had eaten their fill, the mother cat began eating.
Ethan watched, happy seeing that the stray cats were getting the food they needed. He was glad that demon was nice to them, and began thinking to himself, although getting nervous. The demon had helped those cats, maybe he would help him.
Ethan crawled to the side of the building and managed to climb down the side of it. Anxiously, Ethan limped towards the demon, his back to him. He stood there for a moment, not quite knowing how to start.
"E-excuse me?" Ethan said quietly, looking at the kittens as he was scared of looking at the demon himself.
The demon turned and looked at him, cocking his head to the side slightly in confusion. He made a quick motion with his hand.
"Could you help me?" Ethan managed to look at the demon, trying to exert confidence.
The demon stood up and looked at Ethan, his actions and expressions unreadable; which made Ethan even more nervous. The demon gestured again something with his hand in silence.
"Well, I uh, I'm Ethan" Ethan grew silent, hoping for a reply in words.
The demon motioned with his hands, and then was silent; as if waiting for Ethan to continue. They stared at each other in silence, when suddenly the demon seemed to realize something. The demon motioned towards himself, and then to his throat, and then made an 'X' with his hands.
"Oh," Ethan was glad he finally understood something the demon motioned. "You're . . . mute?"
The demon nodded, but then made a motion with his hand; Ethan could tell it meant for him to continue.
"Well I ugh, everyone kinda thinks I'm a demon who killed someone, and now people want to kill me. And I don't really know how to fight or get around, and everyone out here seems to be looking for me to kill me. I was hoping . . ." Ethan paused, hoping he wasn't asking too much from a stranger. "I was hoping that another demon could help me learn to be on my own, seeing that I can't go back to being a normal human . . ." He glanced at his abnormal hand.
The demon replied in sign language to what he had said. Although Ethan couldn't understand him, the demon seemed genuinely concerned for him. Ethan's hopes rose by this, and he grew less nervous to be talking to a demon.
Motioning in sign language, the demon seemed to be thinking of ways to help Ethan. He seemed to settle on an idea happily, and then motioned for Ethan to wait. The demon crouched down and picked up the bag of cat food. After making sure that every morsel of sustenance had been emptied from the bag, he walked over to the store and put the bag into a trash can.
After doing so, the demon returned and crouched down. He petted the mother cat and each of the kittens one more time before standing up again.
The demon looked towards Ethan and made a simple gesture to him that was well known as 'follow me.' He then turned and began to walk away.
Ethan hesitated, but then walked after the fox-masked demon.

Part 8 - fav.me/d6r5kmf
Ye Kai never really was a killer, he just kinda hangs out with Kage and helps hungry stray animals. Isn't that nice of hiiiim XD He so cute
And the scene where the cats are eating was inspired when I was looking at a mother cat and kittens, really cute tho; the mother cat wouldn't eat until all the kittens had eaten, it was so cute XD
Oh and wasn't planning on writing today, but turns out I had just enough time to do so XD so yay
Oh and it's not very clear so I shall explain a little on why the cats were in the box. They're obviously strays, and the mama cat carried the baby cats into the box so they would be more safe, but then the baby cats are kinda small so she helps them get out of the box all the time. And Kai gives them foods. But he had only found them recently which is why they're still so skinny.
And Kai often carries a large chain wrapped around his arm whenever he goes out alone, in case of danger. And yes he can do that air twist thingy where he lands on all fours like a kitty.

More please?
This creepypasta is AWESOME! this counts as a creepypasta, right?
mawwww~ kai is so adorable! plus he likes cats! i like cats... i had two cats, but they died... sometimes i think i see them.... i suspect their ghosts are haunting out apartment. Ouo .......most of this was just rant... wasn't it...
id this the end?? I'm sort of puzzled
no it's just that shortly after this part was submitted some shit happened and I stopped writing because I was in no condition [mentally, not physically] to write, I want to continue it soon though
Kai's so sweet! <3
I hope the story will continue from here. It's an amazing story so far. Please continue this story
I get the feeling that Kai only kills people if he catches them abusing an animal, particularly cats.
ryan is still the best
Why did this not continue? It was so good!
More? *innocent puppy dog eyes* It's been so long...
Too long, can you feel it? Too long, can you feel it? Too long, can you feel it? Too long, can you feel it? It's been much too long, I-sorry whenever I hear anything along the lines of 'too long' or 'so long' I immediately break out singing 'Too long' but srsly tho it has been too long, but soon.
Could you put jeff the killer in please?

I'm still curious why kai is mute

Maybe Ethan will find a way to stop getting beat up
Hey I just met yo- No...I'm not stooping that low :/
XD Well I'll tel you right now why Kai is mute, he was just born that way; his mother was mute actually.

Hey, I'm Doug, I'm a transplant to Berlin from New York. I made the move 3 years ago and the city has really grown on me, no doubt due in part to the quality of life available. There's nothing like biking to the studio or work and passing under myriad trees, through several parks, and alongside the water to get there. I'm new here at airbnb but am looking forward to using it when I travel and in order to help others out who are looking for a great place.

Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society: A Quarterly Journal in American Philosophy
Volume 49, Number 3, Summer 2013
pp. 434-442
In this response to critical commentaries on The American Pragmatists, I clarify and sharpen some of the arguments made in the book—for instance, about how Quine and Lewis fit into my account of the history of pragmatism; how first-person experience is relevant to inquiry; and how metaphysical meta-philosophies are set against the naturalist tradition of pragmatism.

It's been awhile. Chalk it up to a busy life and no time for dating, but recently, I've had a lot of stuff throw me for a loop. It feels strange that I never talked about it here, because I did plenty of talking about it to other people in many other venues. Which might be why I never felt the need to spill my guts here. This space has become a place where I can work things out that I can't really talk through with friends or family or on Twitter. This last…complication…was so involved and had so much impact on my possible future and on other people in my life that to talk about it here would be to put it on paper and to give it more importance than I was willing to admit.
The long and short of it is that I poured my heart out to a man who's family has been friends of mine and in-laws to my mother's sister for my entire life and well before that. Suffice it to say, there's a lot of history there. I don't see this guy often, but when I do, there are lots of sparks. It doesn't go beyond that because there are a lot of complicating factors, but there are definitely sparks. So I decided to grab the situation by the balls and put my feelings out there. I was honest and vulnerable and let my flag fly, so to speak. And he did not salute.
Not only did he not salute, he kind of glanced at the flag, shrugged, and walked away.
I am bruised, to say the very least. I am heartbroken in the kind of way that doesn't exactly feel like heartbreak. More like preemptive mourning of what could have been, but isn't. I'm not sad necessarily – though there have been tears. I feel a gaping maw of what I'm missing in my life more acutely than I did before.
But at the same time, I am grateful to him. He had a lot of baggage and I would've had to change my whole course to adapt to a life with him. It would've been a lot of sacrifice, on both of our parts, and it never would've worked had he not been 100% committed, and he never could've been 100%. (Did I mention we live 2000 miles apart?)
So I thank him for freeing me of that longing, and I'm trying to move on.
Ironically in a year that has not had much romantic promise, two days after I heard from him, a birdie whispered in my ear that a mutual friend was kind of crushing on me. I know him, we chat on Twitter every few days or so, and I also I know that we are not of the same political mind. In fact, we are as diametrically opposed as you can get. He is far right, I am pretty far left. We're both in DC, both working in the political/PR fields. I hate to use the term "dealbreaker" about this one, but if ever there was one…
But I have to say, the events of the last few weeks – laying everything on the line and throwing caution to the wind (while we're using cliches) – have made me a little more open-minded about a guy that six months ago, I would have dismissed outright. All indications I've gotten is that he's political but not evangelical, not proselytizing. And maybe I am getting too picky. Is it better to date someone who is passionate, even if their views differ widely from your own, instead of someone who is apathetic? Does this whole affair make me more open-minded, more hopeful that differences don't have to be dealbreakers? Or does it just make me dumber?

During the decades of his imprisonment by South Africa's apartheid regime, Nelson Mandela read widely and deeply from the historical and philosophical texts of the ages.
Mandela sampled from the global canon. Yet he took a special interest in the record of American revolt against empire.
The events of July 4, 1776, have across the long arc of history captured the imaginations of men and women who would build nations far beyond the borders of the United States. And that was certainly the case with Mandela. When I covered him on his 1990 tour of the United States and during his 1994 campaign for the presidency of South Africa, it quickly became clear that Mandela had developed a rich understanding of the revolutionary history of the United States—and of the individuals and ideas that shaped it.
Mandela has always displayed a high regard for the histories and ideas of nations that dispatched colonial overlords. His speeches and essays on Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru are remarkable documents, as are his reflections on leading figures from the anti-colonial struggles of central Africa and the Caribbean.
Mandela recognized that the United States has a distinct anti-colonial history. And he has often employed that recognition to remind Americans and others of ideals and values that are too frequently forgotten.
In his address to the US Congress twenty-three years ago, Mandela spoke of "the struggle for democracy and human rights, not only in our country, but throughout the world."
"We could not have made an acquaintance through literature with human giants such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson and not been moved to act, as they were moved to act. We could not have heard of and admired John Brown, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr. and others," declared Mandela. "We could not have heard of these and not be moved to act as they were moved to act. We could not have known of your Declaration of Independence and not elected to join in the struggle to guarantee the people's life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Already engaged with the work of shaping the new South Africa, Mandela delivered this message to the US Congress: "The day may not be far when we will borrow the words of Thomas Jefferson and speak of the will of the South African nation in the exercise of that will by this united nation of black and white people—it must surely be that there will be born a country on the southern tip of Africa which you will be proud to call a friend and an ally because of its contribution to the universal striving toward liberty, human rights, prosperity and peace among the people."
Like so many who have struggled for democracy over the past two centuries, Mandela has taken his cues not merely from presidents and the crafters of official documents. He has honored Tom Paine, the radical pamphleteer who wrote not just of the specifics of the American experiment but of the prospect that a nation and its people might inspire the world.

ASUS Eee PC 1201N Review
This netbook's dual-core processor and Ion graphics make it the fastest ever, but you'll sacrifice battery life.
(4 out of 5)
It's like ASUS is cheating–in a good way. With now dual-core mobile Atom processors on the horizon, the netbook piooner is truly pushing the envelope with the Eee PC 1201N, the first netbook to pair a dual core Atom N330 CPU (normally reserved for desktop PCs) with Nvidia Ion graphics. The result is the best performance we've seen in this category at a very reasonable price. Just don't leave the charger at home.

- Great overall performance Superb graphics Good keyboard Accurate touchpad
- Mediocre battery life Single narrow touchpad button Weak viewing angles Long recharging time

Liza Beirut, Beirut
Somewhere between a boutique hotel and a private home in aesthetic, restaurateur Liza Asseily's brightly lit eaterie is set in the 19th-century former Abdallah Bustros Palace. The interiors, by Maria Ousseimi, feature bespoke wallpaper by Italian-born artist Idarica Gazzoni, light fixtures by Hubert Fattal and Annabel Karim-Kassar, and carved wooden furniture from the likes of Bokja and Orient 499. The corner bar, showcasing artist Karim Chaya's medley of polished brass, creamy marble and mirrors, channels old Beirut, while blown-up images of Marilyn Massoud and Rasha Nawam's ceramic cityscapes echo its contemporary chaos. Like its classic mezze-based menu, Liza is a love letter to Lebanon.

Hotel Hofgut, Germany
In a serene spot in Lower Bavaria, a two-hour drive from Munich, ten snug, larch-clad cabins and a restaurant form Hotel Hofgut. Launched as a cookery school 15 years ago by chef Erwin Rückerl and his wife Anja, the venture has now been transformed, instead, into a slick getaway for Munich's well-heeled population. Seven cabins built in 2005 by Studio Lot are now complemented by three new additions from Format Elf Architekten, with minimal, airy interiors. Activities include hiking and cycling, while there's also a wellness centre. The restaurant serves a Mediterranean menu by Rückerl, and the local farm shop gives guests the chance to cook the same delicious ingredients in their cabin kitchens.

25hours Bikini, Berlin, Germany
Hip German hotel brand 25hours has opened its seventh outpost in Berlin, close to the city's celebrated zoo. Located in the 1950s, listed Bikinihaus, the 149-room hotel has been designed by local outfit Studio Aisslinger, which, in a nod to its setting, has created bright, foliage-filled rooms, with quirky, animal-related touches. 'Nature meets culture,' says Henning Weiss, head of operations at 25hours. 'We have the zoo and the Tiergarten park on one side, the city with all its hubbub on the other.' The Monkey Bar and lobby lounge offer late-night socialising, while, for the morning after, the third-floor bakery prepares delicious pastries.

All'onda, New York, USA
With the cultural rebirth of New York's tourist-trodden Greenwich Village in full swing, the one-time bohemian neighbourhood continues to reclaim its offbeat charm by welcoming another worthy, gastronomical addition this month. All'onda is a modern Venetian restaurant that is poised to set hearts aflutter with its creative Japanese-Italian take on the region's staples. Chef Chris Jaeckle, who previously worked his magic at Al Fiori, Morimoto and Eleven Madison Park, has devised a menu that will not only be comforting to the neighbourhood's residents and staple of students, but inviting to tourists and well-travelled professionals as well. The two-level restaurant serves up everything from traditional cicchetti (bar snacks), like squid ink and uni arancini, and crudo dishes, to handmade risottos and pastas, like tortellini brodo with Parmesan dashi, tomato oil and porcini. If the food doesn't transport you somewhere, the Japanese and Italian infused décor certainly will; nautically inspired, aged metal details stand out from paint-washed brick walls, while walnut boards and hexagonal tiles add a sensual, yet abstract touch.

Las Haras, Strasbourg
A former royal stud and equestrian academy built in the 18th century, this haphazard yet majestic establishment in Strasbourg has been converted into a 55-room hotel by the cancer research centre, IRCAD, that operates next door – with the aim of hosting visiting surgeons, among others. The original façades, roofs, monumental entrance gate and grand stables have all been preserved, while inside, Paris-based design firm Jouin Manku has created a pared-back, contemporary aesthetic. In the former stables, a dramatic staircase takes centre stage, surging up to the brasserie's first-floor dining area. Exposed wooden beams feature throughout, while leather, from the nearby Tanneries Haas, together with oak and metal are recurring elements in the guest rooms. The mix of comfort and modernity has given this cathedral to equestrianism another crack of the whip.

The Broome, New York, USA
The Broome is a charming 14-room boutique hotel that's located in the heart of Soho. Despite a laborious overhaul that took seven years, the five-storey building, which used to house artist lofts and is now owned by a quartet of Frenchmen, is still lovingly faithful to its origins. Art pieces from the owners' private collections adorn walls of the lobby, café and meeting room, while a quiet outdoor atrium, surrounded by rooms and terraces up above, offers guests some reprieve and continental flair. The rooms themselves are tastefully furnished by local outfit Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and offer views of Broome Street or the inner courtyard. Each room is equipped with a thoughtful selection of amenities, ranging from Harney & Sons teas and Nunu chocolates in the minibar to a full kit of bathroom essentials, should one have forgotten something. The home-away-from-home feel is perpetuated further in the café, which offers a complimentary selection of Ronnybrook Farm yogurts and pastries from the cherished nearby bakery, Ceci Cela every morning. Our tip: snatch up the two-bedroom penthouse, which comes with a private rooftop terrace, and lounge chairs to boot.

Lulu's, W Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
W Hoboken's Chandelier Room has undergone an artful transformation, courtesy of New York design studio Novogratz. The newly opened Lulu's, encompassing 4,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor space, offers expansive views of the Manhattan skyline. Here, a star roster of artists has made its way into New Jersey. Columns clad in metallic woodgrain motifs by Richard Woods perfectly counterbalance Sarah Morris' colourful geometric fabric lining the banquette seating. Meanwhile, a formidable collection of artworks by likes of Damien Hirst, Mario Testino and more, hang along a graphic black and white striped wall. The main space, meanwhile, features double-height ceilings, a 20 ft long bar, flanked by a generous terrace on one side, and a sports-inspired den with a vintage pool table on the other.

II Vino, Paris, France
As far as wine pundits go, Italian-born Enrico Bernardo is a star: the former chief sommelier at Paris' Four Seasons George V, he also won the coveted World Best Sommelier accolade at only 27 years of age. Now, he has launched a new restaurant where wine and décor both take centre stage. Designed by duo Emma Donnersberg and Michel Amar, the interiors have a theatrical aspect, highlighted by cream, gold and coppery hues, which reflect the colours of the best vintage bottles. Subsequently, everything at Il Vino is staged around the precious elixirs: the menu features wines, not dishes. Guided by a sommelier, one will choose a bottle first and then embark on an exciting journey where the chef cooks a dish that best matches the character of the wine.

Margaux, London, UK
In a city like London, where big-name restaurant openings are two a penny, it is always refreshing to find a cosy neighbourhood gem where locals can gather and have a natter over some good wine and food. Situated on old Brompton road in the well-heeled neighbourhood of South Kensington, Margaux is an intimate eaterie set over two floors, designed by interior outfit Brinkworth, who created a welcoming industrial space with lots of exposed brick and pipework. Low hanging pendant lights with mismatched lampshades add texture, while a copper bar takes centre stage. Food is modern European, with classics like foie gras on toasted brioche and duck leg confit. Most impressive however, is the extensive wine list featuring a broad range of producers and grapes. If you become overwhelmed, ask Benoit, the ever so helpful GM.

The Standard East Village, New York, USA
Re-branding an existing hotel is no easy feat, but the challenge didn't seem too much for Andre Balazs' golden touch. Since acquiring the Cooper Square Hotel over two years ago, the hotelier has been steadily giving the 21-storey building the Standard treatment - all the while receiving guests, no less. The now-complete Standard East Village boasts a creative rejig of its existing infrastructure and is the more contemplative, laid back cousin to its High Line counterpart. Designed in part by Shawn Hausman, guests now enter the eclectic lobby through the cosy doors of an adjoining townhouse. A spherical, grey-scale installation, 'Pixel Cloud', by Snarkitecture's Daniel Arsham, emerges through an adjacent corridor. The space leads off into Café Standard, an intimate street café decorated with colourful tiles and hanging plants that dishes out casual American fare, cocktails and beer, and boasts doors that open onto the street during warmer, al fresco-friendly months. The hotel's real jewel though, is Narcissa, a Cali-inspired restaurant, and the latest enterprise from chef John Fraser, which uses produce grown on Balazs' farm, Locusts on Hudson, and champions rotisserie cooking in a whole new way. The Nordic-Shaker style dining room overlooks the hotel's expansive garden, which houses a ceramic fountain installation by artists Chris Johanson and Jo Jackson and will also offer a petanque court and lounge chairs as soon as the weather permits.

Vault Karaköy, Istanbul, Turkey
The fourth project from Istanbul's House Hotel group is new accommodation inside the former Ottoman Bank buildings in the up-and-coming neighbourhood of Karaköy. Dating from 1863, the storied structure, restored by Turkish architect Han Tümertekin, retains all of its original details, while the contemporary décor was created by Sinan Kafadar - best known for the interiors of both Four Seasons hotels in the city. Artwork comes from owner Yilmaz Ulusoy's personal collection, while advisor Zeynep Berik also commissioned emerging local artists to create exclusive pieces for the hotel. High ceilings further create a rich library atmosphere, complete with antiques and vintage objects and further down the lobby, the old vault serves as a backdrop to a sophisticated bar area.

The Monarch Room, New York, USA
Anything that opens up in Manhattan's Meatpacking District these days always rouses a certain degree of expectation. All the more so for a restaurant the size of The Monarch Room. At a vast 4,500 sq ft, excluding the two private dining rooms on a second level, The Monarch Room is a decadent space that exudes the distinctive style of interior design firm Roman and Williams. A luscious green marble entrance opens onto a dining room that's lined with a 20ft mahogany bar and sumptuous leather banquettes. These classic, dark wood accents are juxtaposed with roughly hewn concrete walls and a poured-in-place staircase that together make a subtle nod to the building's past life as an industrial warehouse in the 1930s. The impressive surroundings are matched by the finely executed, fresh-market American menu created by chef Michael Citarella. Crispy hen-of-the-woods mushrooms served with buttermilk, and a tender pulled-pork shoulder paired with creamy grits and smoked paprika are just some of the dishes that hit the mark.

East Borough, Culver City, USA
Restaurateur Paul Hibler and chef Jason Neron (the duo behind LA's Pitfire Artisan Pizza chain and the in demand Superba Snack Bar) have set up the second branch from their French Vietnamese series, East Borough. This time located in Culver City, the eaterie has been designed by Hibler himself, along with John Cao and Chole Tran of local firm Hatch. Emulating the hustle and chaos of Vietnamese life, a massive photographic wall of a Ho Chi Min City street scene hits you upon entering, while bright floor tiles, an open kitchen and clusters of pendent lighting wires hanging overhead. Crowds cram the communal tables or patio for daikon rice cakes, springs rolls or fall-off-the-bone pork shank with crab pâté and lettuce cups.

Loft Niseko, Japan
Steep slopes and deep powdery snow make Niseko Asia's most enticing ski destination, but the alpine resort on Japan's Hokkaido island is now also building a reputation for its thoughtful architecture. For this block of four three-bedroom apartments, designed by Tokyo-based architect Riccardo Tossani, the structure's exposed exterior concrete was pressed with timber and stained to give an organic texture. Floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows offer unobstructed views of Mount Yōtei and are fully insulated to ensure a low carbon footprint. The interiors, by Yoo Design Studio (founded by Philippe Starck and property entrepreneur John Hitchcox), feature heated stone floors, hand-tufted wool rugs and lighting by Tom Dixon.

Sophie's, Chicago, USA
We appreciate that a bout of shopping works up an appetite and so are grateful for the level of care that Saks Fifth Avenue in Chicago has put into their new eaterie, Sophie's. Named after Sophie Gimbel, an iconic fashion designer and proponent of American style at Saks for 40 years, the airy, new American restaurant makes the most of its environment – it sits on the new men's store's seventh floor and offers panoramic views of Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile. Modern and luxurious, the space has been designed by architect Andre Kikoski (the man also responsible for the Guggenheim's Wright restaurant in New York) in Saks' signature black and white. Textured glass helps to delineate the bar, café, dining room and private dining areas, while other flowing forms and rich patterns, like geometric carpet and custom American walnut millwork and luminous cast glass bar, make reference to Gimbel's distinctive aesthetic. Finished off with Ligne Rosset and Poltrona Frau furniture, as well as custom-designed pieces and Swarovski lighting fixtures, the spacious restaurant is an elegant place to enjoy craft cocktails and American favourites, whether you've bought anything or not.

Someone please help. I have a 32 cycle which has been the same since I have gotten off birth control. Typically, I would ovulate on CD19. Except now I am having some cramping (mostly on my left side) and twingy pains. I have some nausea as well. What is going on? Could I be ovulating late? My and DH did the BD on CD14, CD17, and CD18. Do you think we are covered or should we go for another round tonight? He is super tired during the week because he is working 3 hours away. So he was exhausted at the end of last week so I kind of want to give him a break (hehe) this week. Do you think I am just having some normal ovulating cramping?

Should the SEC have scrapped its divisions?
Rivals.com Staff
Rivals.com College Basketball
At the College Basketball Roundtable each week, we ask members of the coverage staff for their opinions about a current topic in the sport.
Today's question: After some discussion, the SEC decided to stick with its current format of breaking the teams into divisions and giving the top two finishers in each division a first-round bye in the conference tournament. Your thoughts?
David Fox's answer:
Here's a fact showing that the SEC's current system doesn't work: Mississippi State was the top seed in the West, earned a bye, beat two NCAA-bound teams, gave a No. 1 seed a fight in the final and still missed the NCAA tournament. I understand breaking up the conference into divisions for scheduling and travel purposes, but using the divisions to seed the conference tournament is preposterous. Tennessee and Florida were the third- and fourth-best teams in the league. For that, they got to watch Mississippi State and Ole Miss get first-round byes in the league tournament. You could say the SEC's seeding process didn't affect the league since the Volunteers and Gators reached the NCAA tournament anyway and Mississippi State stayed home. That's true, but I still wonder how many NCAA bids have been affected by this rule.
Mike Huguenin's answer:
I think the SEC should've done what the other 12-team Big Six leagues do: Get rid of the divisions and seed the teams 1-12 for the league tournament. The ACC, Big 12 and SEC have divisions for football, but the SEC is the only one that carries those divisions over to basketball. I don't think it works well for basketball; it makes scheduling easier, but that's it.
Steve Megargee's answer:
I don't mind having the divisional format because it at least makes scheduling easier. As it is, you play each divisional opponent twice and each of the teams from the opposite division once. The scheduling process would have become more complicated without the divisional format. Of course, it would help matters if the SEC had more balance. Last season, the Eastern Division was far more competitive than the Western Division. Tennessee was stuck playing a first-round game because it finished third in the East. Mississippi State and Ole Miss weren't as good as Tennessee, but they got first-round byes because they were the top two teams in the West. But it would have been a bit presumptuous to scrap the divisional format just because of what happened in one particular season. The cyclical nature of these things should allow the West to catch up to the East in due time.

"Fire Shut Up in My Bones"
Black Women Students in the Movement
While many Black women activists of the Civil Rights Era interacted with each other, either directly or indirectly, Black women students connected with persons spanning the gamut of civil rights participants. Although a similar assessment may be made of activists like Ella Baker and Septima Clark, who put into place traditions of practice that others followed throughout the Movement, student activists took up veteran community workers' practices first as activists themselves, then as leaders of other students, and finally as leaders of local civil rights participants. Women students' interaction with practices established by others included using an array of protest tactics, especially those focused on carrying forward values of egalitarianism, attention to the least, and asserting race pride and personal agency. By taking up specific traditions of older adult trailblazers focused on organizing, educating, and generally empowering local people, these young adults carried forward values and practices of people like Baker and Clark, whose work both prepared the way and made the connections necessary for students to take the Movement into small towns and rural areas of the South. Often work of student activists made way for people like Hamer and DeLee to step onto the civil rights stage outside of their local communities. Moreover, as members of the generation that ushered in slogans like "Black is beautiful!" and "Black Power!" student activists helped carry forward Clara Muhammad's work to overcome material and emotional denigration caused by racial subordination. Diane Nash and Ruby Doris Smith Robinson were two students whose activism as SNCC workers typified the passion and gamut of interaction in Black women student civil rights activities.

I learned that being gay is an inborn trait no different than height and hair color. After all, if it weren't, don't you think centuries of fervent efforts to rid humanity of it would have shown at least some modicum of success? Yet here we are.
Religion does not exempt civil servants from civil duties--nor should it, because public officials, whether appointed, elected, or merely hired, do not act as individual believers but as representatives of the state.
I also realize that sometimes parents don't expect or want their children to be gay, in the same way they don't expect or want their children to go around acting like 1970s Thor but sometimes they are one of these things, and sometimes they are both.
When young people have angsted at me about the gay debate, I've just told them to follow Jesus--to seek to honor Him with their sexuality and love others well.
I was put on this Earth to live the often fabulous -- though frequently maligned -- life of a homosexual. Sling your accusatory rhetoric at me all you want. But to use Bible verses to taint someone's existence, his very life, as a sin because he is attracted to someone of the same-sex is deplorable.
The high divorce rate in the United States has long been a source of great frustration to the church. It sees heterosexual marriage as the bedrock of society and exhorts its followers to stay married at any cost, but few seem to listen to the advice.
In 2015, being a 30-year-old virgin and living in Las Vegas seems highly unlikely and almost impossible. Virginity and Sin City are like vinegar and oil -- they don't mix. For me, being a virgin and living in Las Vegas is everyday life.
A Mississippi newspaper organization banning gay wedding announcements told employees to keep their opinions to themselves.
It was scheduled to rain on a big day for my alma mater, and a university big wig told a reverend to pray for God to hold the rain. The reverend chided, "God might have bigger things to worry about. Maybe he even wants it to rain."
As a hetero woman, who has never (ever) dreamt of a wedding day, I was still profoundly moved and delighted by the second SCOTUS ruling on June 26th.
I knew, even as a small child, how meaningful it was that my mother insisted on a life of truth, beauty, love and justice. Her courageous choices were about her, and they were also very much about us, her kids. She knew she had to live a life that would show her children how to fully live.
I've watched the conservative nonprofit Catholic Vote anti-gay PSA video a dozen times since it appeared in my news feed last night.
Critically, though, also, to elaborate, in addition, in this year and at this time our Pride calls for a new sermon for a new time for a return to com...
But it is not the call of our heritage in Stonewall alone that compels us to be mindful of our edges, because it is also the call of our biblical ance...
Typically at this time of year I and my fellow pro-homo colleagues try in twenty minutes or less to undo the misrepresentation and decontextualizing o...
Rather than portend a new dark era for religion, as my debating opponent on Fox News warned on Friday, the decision reminds us of why religious life flourishes in America.

My Dear Watson Artwork
i love this its actully amazing
Completely mental, lol
omg its perfect!
AHHH THAT'S AWESOME. What was it for?
For a little-known band called My Dear Watson - who I believe have now broken up and Devin, the frontman is going by the name of 'aper Hearts'. A fun one to do!
WELL DAMN. Do you get to keep the rights to the art?
well as it happens, Devin wants us to simply rename the title to Paper Hearts instead of MDW... so he'll get some use out of it regardless!
Are you excited?
very much so - though it'd be awesome if he'd get us to re-do the art in accordance with his new name - Paper Hearts would lend itself to some awesome design work!
