The Worst Cover category is one that continues to be somewhat controversial. Some voters chose not to cast a vote in this category because it just seemed "mean" to them, or because they couldn't participate in any worst contest at all. One author whom last year criticized us for including such a category had a change of heart this year. Perhaps to put pressure on her publisher, she actively encouraged her readers to vote for her cover in this category. On the other hand, there were several readers who wished they could vote for all the covers. Many voters consider this category one of the highlights of the contest. Their reactions ranged from laughter (because they couldn't believe covers could be this bad) to outrage (because they had read and loved the book with the awful cover).
Even before Get Lucky hit the stands, author Suzanne Brockmann posted the cover on her website. She made no secret of her horror that the handsomest SEAL in a team of handsome SEALS should be portrayed as "someone's fat cousin Stanley," and she provided a fix it kit - a smiley face sticker to stick over Lucky's face. Linda Hurst, the cover head for this category, knew as soon as she saw this cover that it had Worst in the bag, and so it did - it received the dubious honor of receiving more votes than any other cover in any category! When notified about her "win" Suzanne had this to say:
"Get Lucky has proven to be one of the most popular and best-loved of my Tall, Dark & Dangerous series. It's won a number of awards, including Favorite Series Romance in AAR's Annual Reader's Poll, in spite of the fact that the cover artist used the Pillsbury Doughboy as the model."
"I've made no secret of the fact that I think Get Lucky's cover is hideous. This is the most attractive man in an extremely buff SEAL team of extremely attractive men? Yeah, I don't think so! LOL!
"And as for the choices of colors used on the cover... ack. Big Ugly. Yes, this book deserved the, ahem, recognition you're giving it. (And thank you for doing so!!!)
Silhouette Intimate Moments
"But - I'm constantly touched by the fact that the romance community truly doesn't judge a book by its cover. The fact that a book with a cover that screams "Don't even pick me up - I might be contagious!"
I think the real reason Get Lucky was such an overwhelming favorite (or perhaps we should say "un-favorite") here is not that the man himself is so very hideous. Perhaps if the story had been about an earnest but overweight naval officer readers wouldn't have felt such outrage. But time and time again readers expressed outrage (and incredulity) that a man who was described "Navy Ken" could look like the Pillsbury doughboy. I voted for it myself, and my reason was that the impact of it's awfulness did not lessen over time. While I was reading it, I kept glancing at the cover, and I could have sworn it got worse every time I looked at it. Even looking at it now, over a year later, I am still amazed by just how terrible it is.
Here's what other voters had to say about it:
AAR's Mary: "How this ever got anyone's approval as the living embodiment of a Navy Ken doll is anyone's guess."
Chris: "Get Lucky? With who, John Candy?"
Carol: "Lucky really hurt me to carry to the checkout counter. I know the lady on duty and I'm sure she thought my aesthetic sense had just nose-dived!"
Linda: "Nothing like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man to dampen a hot book."
Shelley: "...while the line is Tall, Dark and Dangerous, the cover shows Short, Chubby and Goofy."
Mary Ellen: "The only way you'd get lucky with this guy is if you ran the other way."
Harlequin Temptation
Suzanne: "Every criticism of this 'jailbait cheesecake' cover is justified."
Sherri: "His head looks glued on after the fact. I feel sorry for the author."
Valery: This was close - between Sawyer and No Strings Attached. Something about those baby faces sitting atop the over-developed shirtless bodies gives me a vague feeling of cradle-snatching, or that I'm looking at science experiments gone terribly wrong!
Third place was Ascendant Sun, with its oddly drawn people who reminded more than one reader of a bad seventies comic book. The most popular adjective voters used for this cover was "cheesy."
Christine objected to the "weird facial expressions."
One anonymous reader asked, "What is this man doing, and why is he painted gold?"
Ellen also noticed the gold paint: "The man looks as if he has a bad case of constipation. Maybe it was caused by that gold paint he was dipped in! Get him some Ex-Lax!"
And Ruby said," he looks as though he's waiting for the heroine to look away so he can stop holding in his stomach."
Neighborhood Press
The fourth place choice was Black Widow. This is a book I personally thought was quite good, and certainly undeserving of the horrible cover it received. The good (?) news about this poor cover is that the book is published by a small press, so most people ordered it online and didn't have to look at the cover until it came in the mail. Voters who chose this one were completely confused as to what the figures on the cover were supposed to represent, but they all agreed that it was ugly.
From AAR's Maria K: "Black Widow wins because I figure the being on the cover must be the missing link between man and ape."
From Mary: "Black Widow's cover wins for sheer absurdity. I don't know what the book is about, but it appears to involve a gnome running through a jungle."
From Julie: "I might need my glasses, but the little munchkin warrior running through the scene is beyond silly. It was good for a laugh! "
And from Persephone: "What's that thing in the background? It looks like a toad!!!"
Avid Press
Coming in fifth place was the very poorly rendered Shadows of Love. I think from an artistic standpoint, there's no question that this is the most amateur looking cover.
Dana found the poses stilted, and called it "badly rendered."
Coverballot's Lisa had this to say: " Shadows of Love is the hands down winner here. Not only is the artwork awkward but the execution of it is poor as well. Then there is that lovely idea of putting a cemetery on the wharf right next to the Titanic with the lovely couple standing in the water."
This was also the choice of AAR's Marianne and Coming Attractions Editor Bessie Markis - both of whom expressed the desire to vote for "all of the above."
Devil's Wager was the sixth place cover. With its odd pose and horse rearing in the background, it seemed to represent the worst in romance cover clichés. It reminded Patricia of "a badly posed co-ed cheerleading competition." Several other voters described its horrors in eloquent and funny terms:
From Jocelyn: "Oh, God! They're all horrible, but this one is by far the worst. He looks like he's staring in horror at a cockroach; she apparently has no concerns about the fact that the horse is about to trample her beloved, and the horse is obviously terrified, yet easily restrained by one careless hand upon its reins. Amazing!"
From Tanya: "I pick Devil's Wager, because I had thought we were past the gynecological exam phase of romance covers. Guess not!"
From Jen: "She's sitting on his lap, barefoot, dress hiked up, holding the reins of a rearing horse without any effort! Unattractive *and* impossible!"
Love Spell
Coming in at number seven was No Strings Attached, which pictures a photographer who seems to have forgotten his shirt (an all-too-frequent oversight in the romance cover world). Heather made this her choice, commenting, "Can you say oily bohunk?" AAR's Teresa also voted for this one. She said "No Strings is the worst IMO, but only because the guy looks like he's two bricks short of a load, if you know what I mean."
Love Spell
Against His Will was eighth place, and more than one voter said they actually liked it. One anonymous reader had quite a bit to say about it, however: "The Against His Will cover is just plain awful. My respects to DeSalvo fans. Forget the hero, the heroine looks like the reincarnation of the Wicked Witch of the West. You know, 'Welcome, my lovely. I've been waiting for you'! For Cathy, the cover defied words; all she could think was, "What the hell?!?"
Ninth place was The Quest, which most readers thought was bad, but not as bad as the others. Joyce thought it was "an ugly cover for what should have been beautiful," and Anita said, "the art work looks like a painting of a paper doll."
High Intensity came in last - which in this category is a good thing. <g> This was another cover that several readers found attractive, and therefore thought it didn't belong in this category. There were still those who found it the least attractive cover of the bunch, including Shawn, who said, "It brought back bad memories of the skanky pervert that haunted the jacuzzi at a hotel I stayed at once - GAG!" Vanessa who was also repulsed, said, "It's a good thing he's already in the bath. He looks pretty slimy!
While many readers found these covers funny, at least one felt angry after looking at such shoddy artwork. Michelle is one such reader, and she places the blame squarely at the feet of the publishers: "Publishers - are you all paying attention here: Just because yours isn't the 'winner' of the worst category, be aware, we readers -- those who BUY your product--have noticed how poorly YOU are marketing YOUR product! It tells us you don't care about your books and your authors! Now what kind of message is that to send to your consumer?" Perhaps we can all hope that the publishing houses do better by these authors next time around!

Muller's Nobel lecture on dose–response for ionizing radiation: ideology or science?

In his Nobel Prize Lecture of December 12, 1946, Hermann J. Muller argued that the dose–response for radiation-induced germ cell mutations was linear and that there was "no escape from the conclusion that there is no threshold". However, assessment of correspondence between Muller and Curt Stern 1 month prior to his Nobel Prize Lecture reveals that Muller knew the results and implications of a recently completed study at the University of Rochester under the direction of Stern, which directly contradicted his Nobel Prize Lecture. This finding is of historical importance since Muller's Nobel Lecture gained considerable international attention and is a turning point in the acceptance of the linearity model in risk assessment for germ cell mutations and carcinogens.

Joe Nacchio Reports to FCP Schuylkill
Time has run out for Joe Nacchio. According to the Denver Business Journal, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer declined to overturn lower court rulings that had denied the former Qwest CEO bail, removing the last chance the former Qwest CEO had to keep himself a free man.
According to the story, Nacchio reported to prison just before noon. Nacchio will be sharing a cell with another inmate at a minimum-security federal prison camp, called FCP Schuylkill (pronounced "SKOO-k'll" for all those not from Philly), at Minersville, Pa. (pictured).
Nacchio has asked the Supreme Court to hear his appeal of his conviction. The Court has not yet said whether or not it will do so.
So what will Nacchio's days look like? WSJ colleague Dionne Searcey checked in with a spokesman up at the prison, who recently sent along the following tidbits.
Typical Day:
6:15 a.m. Breakfast
7:30 a.m. Work Call
10:30 a.m. Lunch
12:30 p.m. Work Call
3:30 p.m. Recall to Housing Units
4:30 p.m. Dinner
11:00 p.m. Lights out
Counts: Inmate counts are formally conducted at least five times a day. Informal counts are also conducted periodically throughout the day in various programs/work areas, and emergency counts may be conducted at any time. Counts are necessary to ensure inmates are in their assigned areas.
Menu: FPC Schuylkill follows a standardized national menu, which includes heart-healthy alternatives to processed or fried foods. Each daily menu meets the new standards for "Dietary Reference Intakes" (formerly known as "Recommended Dietary Allowances"). Following is a sample menu:
Bread w/Margarine
Baked Chicken
Sweet Potato
Collard Greens
Bread w/Margarine
Spaghetti w/ Meat Sauce
Bread w/Margarine
Work: All sentenced inmates in federal institutions are required to work with the exception of those who for security or medical reasons are unable to do so. An average workday is approximately 7 ½ hours. Most inmates are assigned to an institutional job serving the labor needs of the institution such as food service worker, orderly, plumber, painter or groundskeeper. Inmates in these type of assignments may earn between .12 and .40 per hour. An inmate's specific work assignment is not considered public information.
Inmate Non-Working Hours: During their limited off-hours, inmates may participate in a variety of recreation and education programs. Inmates may also avail themselves of a wide-range of religious programming offered throughout the week. Recreation opportunities at FPC Schuylkill include an outdoor walking track, indoor gymnasium, and a recreation building where inmates can participate in table games, fitness training, and other wellness activities. All inmate programs and activities are designed to encourage inmates to use their limited leisure time productively; adopt a healthier lifestyle; and enhance their physical, emotional, and social well-being.

Chronic inflammation can be delightful when it refers to putting a flame to your chronic, but as a health matter it's a serious concern. In fact, chronic inflammation plays an important role in many debilitating ailments, including autoimmune diseases like lupus, colitis, arthritis and MS. According to the National Institutes of Health, "an autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders." Many are extremely painful, and some can even prove fatal.
We already know marijuana can help alleviate inflammation in general, and that many of those who suffer from autoimmune disorders find significant relief from ingesting cannabinoids, but now, thanks to researchers at the University of South Carolina, we have a better understanding of how this all-natural remedy really works.
"[Our] study has uncovered yet another potential application for marijuana, in the suppression of immune response to treat autoimmune diseases. The work builds on recent scientific discoveries that the environment in which humans live can actually trigger changes that occur outside of human DNA, but nevertheless can cause alterations to the function of genes controlled by DNA. These outside molecules that have the ability to alter DNA function are known collectively as the epigenome. In this study, the investigators wanted to find out if the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) found in marijuana has the capacity to affect DNA expression through epigenetic pathways outside of the DNA itself.
The recent findings show that THC can change critical molecules of epigenome called histones, leading to suppression of inflammation."
Published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, this latest study builds on previous scientific research and a massive amount of anecdotal evidence that all points to cannabis as a safe, effective treatment for autoimmune conditions. In fact, marijuana's utility as a treatment for AIDS wasting syndrome played a key role in the early fight to establish medical marijuana laws in California and across the country.
So it's no wonder to discover this important new role that cannabis-based medicine can play in treating a wide range of disorders. It's only surprising to realize how many people still don't have safe, legal access to this plant.

A Gathering of Moments is a collection of images. Each week images were captured from within the boundaries of my most immediate surrounds our current home. A yearly exercise of showing myself that creativity surrounds us everywhere, everyday and in all our surrounds and routines.
In addition to having a Diploma in Arts majoring in garment technology I also have a Certificate in Optical dispensing. I don't remember a time when I haven't had a keen passion for being creative. My main passion is with making art quilts and it is through this that my interest for photography has developed. My images are my resource, my inspiration with many of the my images being incorporated into my quilts, fabric range and collage pieces. I also enjoy altered book art, gardening and making my own jam and chutneys.

After many rumors it seems to be official, the actor who gave life to Khal Drogo, Jason Momoa, has signed to play the role of Aquaman in " Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice." Momoa has been negotiating with Warner Bros. Pictures since December and Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon, according to Hitfix.
Newsmax reported today that Momoa won't play a major role in the film, which features the characters of Superman (Henry Cavill), Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Alfred Pennyworth (Jeremy Irons) and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). The premiere of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" has been announced for May 6, 2016.
Jason Momoa has risen to fame in recent years due to his portrayal of Khal Drogo in the acclaimed "Game of Thrones" HBO series and though the character of Aquaman is one of the most despised of the Marvel Universe, Zack Snyder himself voiced his support for the character last week on a radio station in Detroit:
"I don't want to give anything away about the movie or anything like that but Aquaman has some cool abilities. People are like, "Oh what? Does he talk to animals? Cause that seems like what he does. Or fish?" The cool thing with Aquaman is his Trident. So you have to realize that could cut the flesh of Superman if they came in contact. That's a thing that's in the canon," Snyder said.
Aquaman first appeared in DC Comics in 1941 and is a founding member of the Justice League of America. According to The Verge, the studio is planning to shoot "Justice League" after it completes "Batman v. Superman."

Bed Rails
Please Note! BPN is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit and has moved to a new website: BerkeleyParentsNetwork.org
We recently bought the Thomas bed from Pottery Barn kids for my son. It requires no box spring, the mattress sits directly on the bed frame, which I thought was fine until I realized that all of the bedrails out there require a box spring in order to install. Has anyone run into this problem before and have any suggestions??? milla
In a few months we'll be transitioning our toddler from a crib to a twin-sized bed. What type of bed rail should we buy? Any advice about features to consider or brands that are good/bad would be appreciated. Thanks! Liz O.
If you are worried about falls, try putting the twin size mattress on the floor at first, so that if he (she?) does roll out he will only fall a few inches. But even if he does fall out of a standard height bed, he isn't likely to hurt himself. It's happened to most kids I know, including my own, and none are any worse for wear. Just make sure there's a well padded carpet or mat next to the bed, and that the wooden blocks and other hard toys get put away or moved away from the bedside before bedtime. Holly
Our *very* active 6 mo. old has recently waged a strike on the crib and will only fall asleep in our queen bed (I used to leave him in the crib for naps & early eves and then bring him to bed later). I'm looking for some bedrails that will keep him in the bed while he rolls & crawls before he conks out (supervised, of course) and then sleeps by himself. I think our mattress is extra thick, so I'm looking for some that are pretty high. It would also be great if they flipped down when not in use. I just checked the archives but didn't see any specific brand recommendations -- I know that there are several companies that make them. I'd love your suggestions on which ones to get and where to get them. wish they made family cribs

Soccer Edged By Air Force, 2-1
Sept. 5, 2004
USAFA, Colo.- Despite another fine offensive attack from newcomer Tonci Skroce and a strong debut in goal from redshirt freshman Jeff Engelbrecht, a two-goal performance from Air Force senior Marcus Sagastume helped down the University of Illinois at Chicago soccer team, 2-1, at Cadet Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Flames (0-2) could not stop the 2003 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Co-Player of the Year as Sagastume scored on a header in the seventh minute to put the Falcons (1-0-1) up early.
Sagastume struck again in the 30th minute on a penalty kick that just got past Engelbrecht.
Skroce put the Flames within striking distance in the 63rd minute, taking a penalty kick of his own and knocking it past Air Force keeper Paul Elsbernd to cut the lead in half.
That was as close as UIC would get, despite a late rally that almost got the Flames even in the final minute. A shot by freshman Pawel Ligas zoomed past the outstretched hands of Elsbernd but traveled just past the post.
Engelbrecht was strong in his first collegiate game between the posts, saving eight shots.
The Flames were much more aggressive on the offensive side compared to their 4-1 loss to Denver on Friday. Seven players took shots against the Falcons for 13 attempts in the contest, with 10 of them in the second period, in comparison to Friday's nine-shot performance for the entire match.
Skroce, who scored his team-leading second goal on Sunday, led the way with three shots and two attempts against goal.
UIC is back in action this Tuesday as they continue their road trip in-state with a visit to DeKalb, Ill., to take on Northern Illinois.

EL PASO, Texas (November 22, 2005) ?- Vanderbilt's Luke List answered the challenge and the push from his threesome and held on for a one-stroke wire-to-wire win at the 31st Annual Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic, held at the 6,817-yard, par-71 El Paso Country Club on Tuesday.
List, who led by two strokes with one hole to play, made things interesting on the final hole. Georgia's Chris Kirk pared the 18th, while List three-putted for bogey, allowing Kirk to pull within one.
The Vanderbilt junior fired rounds of 67, 65, 68 to finish with a 54-hole total of 200 (14-under). It is the third lowest total in tournament history, behind Arizona's Ricky Barnes and Chris Nallen. Barnes and Nallen each carded 196 (17-under) totals in 2000 and 2003, respectively.
List became the eighth wire-to-wire winner and the first since Arizona's Chris Nallen (2003). Vanderbilt becomes the 20th school in the 31 years of the event to have a player win the tournament title. List is just the second SEC player to win the event, joining inaugural champion Jerry Pate of Alabama, who won the event in 1974.
List, Kirk and Oklahoma State's Pablo Martin combined to finish 1-2-3 at an amazing 36-under par. That is the lowest top total of the top three positions in tournament history.
The trio made the final round interesting, as all three were tied for the lead at 10-under through seven holes, before List rattled off a pair of birdies on eight and nine to pull ahead for good. List added birdies on 11 and 16, before bogeying the final hole.
Kirk played steady and bogey-free all day, recording a pair of birdies on the front nine and added a pair of birdies on the back nine, but List answered him until the final hole.
Martin was the three under at the turn to pull into a tie for the lead, but a bogey at No. 12 took him out of contention until he notched a pair of birdies on No. 14 and No. 15 to get within two strokes of the lead, but List would birdie the 16th to add to his cushion.
Last year's runnerup, Matthew Rosenfeld of Texas, climbed into the top 10 after starting the day in a tie for 16th. But Georgia State's Steven Tiley was the biggest mover on the leader board on Tuesday, as he fired a two-under 69 to climb eight spots into a tie for 16th.
Arizona's Henry Liaw tied for 23rd place with a three-round total of 214 (+1). The junior from Rowland Heights, Calif., carded rounds of 71, 74 and 69.
As a field, 22 players were under par for 54 holes, one shy of the record of 23 players who finished under par in 2003. In all, the field averaged 70.37 strokes per round. The 2003 field averaged 69.92 strokes per round.

Post 'BUGS IN 1.1'
Post here bugs that occur in the patch 1.1
New bugs, or bugs that already existed. If you already posted that bug then you can link to it here.
If you're not sure if its a bug or just your client, do go ahead. Also some may post htings they've only seen a few times but are there. if you got an idea when exactly it appears do so.
Remember this is for BUGS only. NOT for suggestions (i.e. 'better balancing system) or damage system etc
I'll start:
I hosted my own server to test 1.1 and noticed this text came on each other. I haven't noticed this anymore though, but havent played that much 1.1
At a certain moment after a map change everyone saw this on top of the map, a weird reinforcement table.
This is NOT a monitor calibration error. On kashyyyk docks my remote (droid sniper) fired pink blaster shots. All the other red blasters (rifle etc) were normal
I posted earlier that when in SP in historical campaign, if i clicked on "mission restart", the map would reload but IGNORE my brightness settings, they would be default (which is quite dark for me). If i just click on the brightness tab (not moving the slider) it was ok again though.
Now when in MP the map loads, my brightness settings are ignored again. Each time a map starts i need to go to video options and do the trick again.
I don´t know if it happened before but since Patch1.1 i stayed longer in the ingamebrowser and ALT-tab to desktop sometimes for some reasons. Yesterday i noticed (after alt tabbing a few times over 2-3 hours i stayed in the ingame browser) that in a single player mission AI won´t use the vehicles anymore. Well this happened only yesterday and after alt tabbing a few times.
Well in the process of making the v1.3 of SWBF Stats and Status I have found what seems to be a bug in the newest release of the SWBF Server.
The Stats and Status scripts are based off what the server sends out on port 3658 and in the previous version when a map changed these variables ( Score, Deaths, Pings ) were all set back to 0. Now it seems that they are not.
I have been watching multiple servers trying to get the Stats updated and I have noticed this action happen on all of them. If this is a true bug then this will really mess up the stats on GameSpy as well as with the SWBF stats.
My previous post of relasing SWBF Stats 1.3 next week might have been a little premature. I will have to figure out away around this or everyones stats system will be BS.
I hope that they will fix this issue soon but untill then I will see if I can find a work around for this at least for my systems.
Alegis I posted this in the Admin forum if you guys want to remove it from that on go right ahead.
Changing in Speeder
I really dont know if its bug or not but i talk about Changing posts in Speeder when you fly....Its crap...You can handle ATAT when youre alone in SPeeder and use cable....sorry for my english, I hope you know what i mean...and if someone post there here before sorry for that...
PS : Can someone say me if will be repaired this in future ?!
I guess not. in bf:vietnam if i'm using a cobra alone (which is rare though) i'll switch to copilot now and then for the heat seaking missiles. It's true you can exploit this, but its done so little, i dont think LEC would fix this
Hm but now the speder lost his substance...when you can cable ATAT alone...Iam talking only about speeder...i gunship its ok but that speeder...
Re: Snowspeeders
There is a simple fix for this problem, hit 'F2' when there's someone outside, then you can pull a comp char in. as 'well' as I fly snowspeeders, when I'm in one, I just fire the cable and rear gun, and let the computer fly around the walker. Because I always seem to hit it. :p :swear:
Secondly, Anthem, re: your sig. Don't you mean good guys 'wear' white? The current version could be interpreted very badly.
I have bugs with 1.1 and all my mods + multiplayer.1. I cant run 1.1 . i'm downloading it, then I try to run it. but I doesent work! forget it. I made it work now. 2the mods i'm dawnloading: i'm supose to wright the directory. what IS the directory???? is it where battlefront is saved on my computer?? I have no idea. my 3. multiplayer: when i'm starting internett multiplayer and join no servers are showing up! what is wrong??
Jenna: youre right :) The old version was strange ;) Sorry for OT

Edtropolis/The3Eds rivalry
There has been speculation of some sort of rivalry between the two fansites over the years among fans of the show by comparing the similarities between the two sites. This rivalry has not been confirmed by either website. The following quote is from Edtropolis.com concerning the rivalry.
| This isn't so much news as an announcement, so here's saying 'Congratulations' to Bunji for becoming the new helmsman of the ever-popular The3Eds website. ^_^
It has to be said that over the years and even quite recently, we have been confused and indeed saddened by the notion held by some fans of the Eds in assuming that the two sites (T3E & EDtropolis) and the two online communities (T3E and E2E) are in some way competing with one another. Nothing could be further from the truth. What T3E & Edtropolis/E2E are doing however, is what they believe is a very worthwhile task - namely promoting a great and original cartoon show & celebrating the fact that through Ed, Edd n Eddy, people around the world are brought together in friendship to discuss, create and above all, to enjoy. So please, no more of this silly 'sites in competition' stuff guys, we're not rivals we're simply different with the most apparent differences probably appearing in our online communities. T3E is a much faster moving, snappier, altogether livelier forum where things go with a bang, whereas E2E (while we do get zappy occasionally) moves at a rather more laid-back pace. Some people are members of both communities but prefer one over the other, some find they can't get on with one or the other and some remain regular members of both and simply and celebrate the difference. After all variety is the spice, no? And if we were exactly the same, well it would get pretty dull pretty fast! So again congrats to Bunji & the other guys n gals over at T3E, a terrific Eds fansite which we're proud to be affiliated with! Carry on the good work guys, onwards n Eddwards!
—Kit & Zeph
Turner copyright claim
In December 2010, all of the episode downloads on The3Eds from seasons 3-6 and the specials were removed because of copyright infringement claims by Turner Entertainment. Currently, only three episode downloads of Ed, Edd n Eddy are available on the site.
Seasons 1 and 2 were removed when their DVDs were released in the United States in 2006 and 2007 due to the DVD releases causing the downloads to be redundant.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus indeed launching on April 22, new leak claims
Sprint is about to launch its very own LTE-enabled version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Alongside the LG Viper (which is now up for pre-order), it will be among the first LTE smartphones to be released by the Now Network.
But when? The latest rumor on the matter came a couple of weeks ago and said that April 22 will be the date when Sprint's Galaxy Nexus will see the light of day. However, within the same leaked info the Viper appeared as launching on April 15, and that turned out to be false.
Yet today we get a new leak that says it's still going to be April 22 for the Galaxy Nexus. According to the image above, which was sent to BGR, Sprint employees are now being told that next Sunday is indeed when they should expect to start selling the Galaxy Nexus.
So if that doesn't change, you only have a few more days of waiting to do before you can purchase a Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Sprint.

BAY COUNTY - Bay County commissioners have kept impact fees low for several years now. On Tuesday, they voted to keep them at the same rate they've had since 2008.
The recovering economy is the main reason why commissioners voted to keep things the same.
Road impact fees will continue to be reduced by 100%. Fire, parks and recreation facilities, and library impact fees will also stay cut by 50%.
The idea is to keep the fees low so that more people will buy or build houses, but not all commissioners were on board with the proposal.
"We're going to ham string future commissions without impact fees on parks and recreations, library, and fire to be able to do their duty to furnish those services to people," said Commissioner Mike Thomas.
Commissioner Thomas was the only commissioner to vote no on the continued reduction.
He says the reduced impact fees were designed to spur growth in the area but he says that hasn't been the case. Instead he says most people expect to pay the full fees when moving to a new area.
The reduced impact fees are supposed to last for an additional two years.

SIGNED this 16th day of April, 2013.
DANNY MARTIN RICH ) Case No. 12-10357
MARY BETH RICH ) Chapter 13
Debtors. )
Married Kansas debtors are entitled to exempt their homestead from execution by general
creditors.1 The extent of the permitted exemption is measured in acres, not dollars, and a debtor's
homestead may have unlimited value . . . until that debtor seeks bankruptcy protection. Then federal
law caps the "amount of interest" that the debtor has "acquired" in the homestead within the 1,215
1 KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-2301 (2012 Supp.).
Case 12-10357 Doc# 54 Filed 04/16/13 Page 1 of 10
days preceding the filing at $146,450.2 But federal law also provides that § 522 "shall apply
separately" to each debtor in a joint case, subject to certain limitations.3 Dan and Mary Beth Rich
acquired their homestead within the 1,215 days before they filed their joint bankruptcy case. To do
so, they allegedly used sale proceeds from their previous homestead, along with funds from Dan's
IRA, savings, and the proceeds of construction loans.4 At the petition date, they considered the home
to be worth $509,500 and it was encumbered by $205,868 in secured debt, leaving "equity" of
$303,632. The trustee objects to their exemption because their equity exceeds the $146,450 cap.
Because the debtors are each entitled to "apply separately" the provisions of § 522 under subsection
(m), each debtor's homestead interest is capped at $146,450, meaning their total exemption is
capped at $292,900. As there is nothing in the record to help me determine how much (if any) of the
remaining $10,732 equity was acquired with the proceeds of the debtors' former homestead as §
522(p)(2)(B) provides, the Trustee's objection to their homestead exemption must be overruled.5
Objections to claimed exemptions are contested, core proceedings under 28 U.S.C. §
157(b)(2)(B) and this Court may exercise subject matter jurisdiction per 28 U.S.C. § 1334 and §
157(a) and (b)(1).
2 11 U.S.C. § 522(p)(1). Effective April 1, 2013 the dollar amount of the cap increased to
$155,675 but because this case was commenced prior to the dollar adjustment, the cap remains at
$146,450 for this case. See § 104(c).

Factual Summary6
Dan and Mary Beth Rich filed this joint bankruptcy case on February 24, 2012; October 27,
2008 is 1,215 days prior to filing. They sold their former homestead on Lakeview Road in
Hutchinson, Kansas, in October of 2008. In late June of 2009, they purchased land on East 69th
Avenue in Hutchinson and built a home there, completing construction in 2010, well within the
1,215 day period. The stipulations state that there remains "a factual issue" about the source of the
funds to purchase the land and build the house and the amount of funds from each source.7 But as
this matter was submitted on stipulations and no one requested an evidentiary hearing, the record
is now closed, leaving us with no record concerning how much, if any, of what the debtors realized
on their old house went into the new one.8 When they filed this case, they scheduled the home as
having a value of $509,500 and as being encumbered by two mortgages with an aggregate balance
of $205,868. The parties stipulate that the debtors' equity in the home was $303,632 at the date of
Burden of Proof
In bankruptcy, a properly-claimed exemption is presumed valid unless a party in interest
6 The parties submitted this contested matter on stipulations, see dkt. 40.
7 Dkt. 40, ¶s 9 and 15.
8 Section 522(p)(2)(B) creates a safe harbor for calculating the "amount of interest"
acquired within the 1,215 day period where the interest is transferred from debtors' previous
residence (acquired prior to the 1,215 day period) into the current residence. In other words, the
§ 522(p)(1) cap does not apply to equity that debtors rollover from a previous residence. See In
re Blair, 334 B.R. 374 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 2005); In re Wayrynen, 332 B.R. 479 (Bankr. S.D. Fla.
2005); In re Presto, 376 B.R. 554 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. 2007).

objects.9 As the party objecting to the exemption here, the Trustee bears the "burden of proving that
the exemption was not properly claimed."10 Kansas exemption laws are construed liberally in favor
of exemption.11 Because the parties agreed with each other to submit this matter on stipulations, I
regard them as the only facts proven in the case and disregard the additional facts alleged by the
Trustee and the debtors in their memoranda.12
Joint Cases, State Law, and the § 522(p) Cap
Kansas families are permitted to exempt either one acre in town or 160 acres of farming land
in the country as their exempt homestead.13 They must reside on the land so designated.14 Kansas
courts have traditionally concluded that married Kansas debtors and joint tenants are entitled to only
one homestead.15 In general, the bankruptcy courts sitting in Kansas have followed suit. In In re
9 Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4003(b).
10 Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4003(c); In re Ginther, 282 B.R. 16, 19 (Bankr. D. Kan. 2002). See
also, Dkt. 23 (Trustee's Objection).
11 In re Ginther, 282 B.R. at 19.
12 See Dkt. 45, pp. 3-4. Moreover, none of the additional facts alleged are supported by
an affidavit or other citation to the evidentiary record or exhibits such as real estate closing or
settlement statements and bank records to demonstrate the source of funds and amounts
transferred. Id. at ¶s 5, 6 and 7. The debtors' additional unsupported facts in their brief are
similarly undocumented and should be likewise ignored. See Dkt. 50, p. 2, ¶s 2 and 3.
13 KANS. CONST. art. 15, § 9; KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-2301 (2012 Supp).
14 Both the constitutional provision and the state statute require the designated property to
be "occupied as a residence."
15 See Atchison Savings Bank et al. v. Wheeler's Administrator, 20 Kan. 625 (1878) (The
law does not recognize two homesteads for one family.) The Kansas constitutional homestead
provision requires the homestead to be occupied as a residence "by the family of the owner."
Art. 15, § 9. The Kansas statutory version, on the other hand, requires occupancy "by the owner
or by the family of the owner, or by both the owner and family thereof." § 60-2301. See also,
Commerce Bank of Kansas City v. Odell, 16 Kan. App. 2d 704, 827 P.2d 1205 (1992) (joint
Case 12-10357 Doc# 54 Filed 04/16/13 Page 4 of 10
Sauer, I held that married debtors who had separated shortly before filing could not each claim an
exempt one acre residence in separate Kansas cities.16 I relied on the plain language of the
homestead act in reaching that conclusion. That statute states –
[A] homestead to the extent of 160 acres of farming land, or of one acre within the
limits of an incorporated town or city, or a manufactured home or mobile home,
occupied as a residence by the owner or by the family of the owner, or by both the
owner and family thereof, together with all the improvements on the same, shall be
exempted from forced sale under any process of law, and shall not be alienated
without the joint consent of husband and wife, ***.17
The statute plainly speaks of there being one homestead ("a homestead," "a residence," etc.). By
comparison, other Kansas exemption statutes confer an exemption upon "every" debtor. For
example personal property exemptions permit – "Every person residing in this state shall have
exempt . . . the following articles of personal property . . . ."18
The Kansas state courts have long recognized that families are only entitled to one
homestead, first doing so in 1878.19 More recently, the Kansas Court of Appeals held that joint
tenants in a 240 acre tract can not each claim one-half of the tract exempt.20 Relying on the words
tenants could claim exempt their interest in only one homestead exemption of 160 acres); Cole v.
Coons, 162 Kan. 624, 178 P.2d 997 (1947)(Under Kansas law, fact that ownership of property is
by co-tenancy does not deny the cotenants the rights to claim a homestead in the property; one
cotenant cannot establish homestead to the exclusion of other cotenants).
16 403 B.R. 722, 730 (Bankr. D. Kan. 2009).
17 KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-2301 (2012 Supp) (Emphasis added).
18 KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-2304(a).
19 Atchison Sav. Bank v. Wheeler's Adm'r, supra.
20 Commerce Bank of Kansas City v. Odell, supra. See also Nelson v. Stocking, 154 Kan.
676, 121 P.2d 215 (1942) (Debtor with one-fourth interest in 281 acres may only claim as
exempt one-fourth of 160 acres).
Case 12-10357 Doc# 54 Filed 04/16/13 Page 5 of 10
"to the extent of 160 acres" as contained in the statute, that court concluded that only each cotenant's
interest in the 160 acres (or one acre in town) could be claimed exempt.21
To be sure, not all judges sitting in Kansas have reached this conclusion. In In re Hall, Judge
Karlin of this court overruled a chapter 7 trustee's objection to joint debtors' claiming as exempt
separate dwellings on a 1.33 acre tract in an incorporated town.22 She concluded that the Halls had
each "legitimately established a separate homestead pursuant to Kansas law because both dwellings
qualified as homesteads."23 The facts in Hall differ from the facts in this case: Dan and Mary Beth
Rich only inhabit one dwelling and, at Kansas law, even under the Hall rule, they are only entitled
to claim one homestead.
Bankruptcy law likewise provides for debtors to claim assets exempt from their bankruptcy
estates. Section 522 outlines the scope of those exemptions. Section 522(b)(1) provides that "an
individual debtor" can exempt either property listed in subsection (b)(2) or (b)(3). Subsection (b)(2)
allows an individual debtor to claim exemptions under a comprehensive scheme of so-called "federal
exemptions" as listed in § 522(d) while subsection (b)(3) permits the debtor to elect the state law
exemptions in his or her state of domicile. Subsection (b)(1) adds the limitation that debtors in joint
21 Commerce Bank of Kansas City, 16 Kan. App. 2d at 708.
22 395 B.R. 722 (Bankr. D. Kan. 2008).
23 Id. at 731. Judge Karlin limited her decision in Hall to its admittedly unusual facts. In
that case the married debtors jointly owned a 1.33 acre tract within city limits. Debtors conceded
that they were limited to 1 acre and would claim the acre upon which the improvements were
located. Two structures were located on the tract – a house occupied by the wife and children
and a mobile home occupied by the husband. The husband had lived apart from his family and
moved into the mobile home two years prior to filing bankruptcy because a finding of child
abuse had prohibited him from residing with his family. The evidence established that the
debtors intended to live in these separate residences on a permanent basis, just as they had done
for more than two years.
Case 12-10357 Doc# 54 Filed 04/16/13 Page 6 of 10
cases must both elect either the state or federal exemptions; one debtor cannot elect state exemptions
while the other debtor chooses federal ones.
Section 522(b)(2) allows states to opt out of the federal scheme by not specifically
authorizing its citizens to choose it. By enacting KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-2312(a) (2005), the Kansas
legislature has opted out, meaning that Kansans filing bankruptcy cases must use the state law
Section 522(m) provides –
(m) Subject to the limitation in subsection (b), this section shall apply separately with
respect to each debtor in a joint case.
The "limitation in subsection (b)" likely refers to the requirement that joint debtors elect either
federal or state exemptions, although some courts and commentators have concluded that this
provision is without meaning in cases involving debtors who hail from opt out states. Norton's
bankruptcy treatise categorically states that joint debtors claiming state exemptions can't double
them where state law does not provide separate exemptions.25 Collier's treatise counters that joint
debtors can each "stack" their exemptions, noting a Circuit split. It references an Eighth Circuit
Court of Appeals case, In re Stevens, as authority holding that the "limitation in subsection (b)"
language was added by Congress to refer to the limitation on spouses claiming different exemption
24 With some exceptions, see KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-2312(b) (Authorizing debtors to
claim the federal exemptions that are set out in § 522(d)(10)).

schemes in joint cases.26 That limitation was added to § 522(b) in 1984.27
In 2005 as part of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, Congress
added § 522(p), ostensibly to stem perceived abuses of state law unlimited homestead exemptions.28
That provision provides that any "amount of interest" a debtor "acquires" in a homestead in the
1,215 days preceding filing is capped at $146,450.29 Not counted in this "amount of interest" is any
equity that the debtor received from the sale of a prior homestead and transferred into the debtor's
current homestead.30 In the present case, the debtors argue that their homestead cap should be
$292,900 because § 522(m) applies the entire section separately to each debtor in a joint case. The
Trustee counters that because Kansas state law limits debtors to one homestead, the debtors'
argument must fail.
The debtors have the better argument here. While the Kansas Constitution and statute limit
married debtors to a single homestead, the only state law limitation is on quantity of land. The
debtors don't seek to exempt more than 160 acres, nor do they ask to be permitted to each retain a
separate, non-contiguous tract like the debtors in Sauer. Instead, they ask to stack the caps imposed
upon each of them by § 522(p)(1). This is what § 522(m) contemplates. While § 522(b)(3) avails the

98-353, § 306.
28 By § 522(p)(1)'s reference to exemptions elected under "subsection (b)(3)(A)," the
exemption cap applies to state law homestead exemptions. Section 522(b)(3)(A) itself provides
that state law exemptions are subject to subsection (p).

debtors of an unlimited value Kansas homestead exemption, subsection (p) limits the value of that
exemption in bankruptcy.31 Subsection (m) applies that cap to each of them, meaning that each
debtor's share of the homestead is value-capped at $146,450.
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Tenth Circuit held as much in In re Nestlen. 32 In that
case, Oklahoma joint debtors were permitted to stack their subsection (p) caps. The panel in that
case concluded that § 522(p) is a federal dollar limitation on a state law right that applies to each
debtor under subsection (m).33 As in Kansas, the Oklahoma homestead exemption has unlimited
value, but is limited in size to one acre in a city or town and 160 acres in the country.34 There is no
reason to distinguish Nestlen from the debtors' case here – each joint debtor is entitled to the dollar
value limit of their homestead exemption.35
Concluding that the cap applicable to the joint debtors here is $292,900 should not end the
inquiry. Even applying the stacked caps, the debtors still have over $10,000 in home equity to which
the Trustee or the unsecured creditors might stake a claim. But the Rule 4003(b) allocation of the

exemptions. The federal "homestead" exemption contains its own value cap. See § 522(d)(1).

§ 522(p); whether the cap should be doubled for joint debtors by virtue of subsection (m) is a
question of federal law.

burden of proof closes the case. The Trustee had the burden to prove that the debtors were not
entitled to exempt their homestead's equity. The only stipulated fact concerning the sources of the
debtors' homestead equity is that a factual issue remains as to the source or sources of it. In the
absence of a stipulation that specifically details how much, if any, of the former homestead's equity,
Dan's IRA, and the debtors' other savings contributed to the remaining $10,732 of equity in the new
homestead, I cannot determine the "amount of interest" acquired by the debtors during the 1,215 day
look back period.36
The Trustee's objection to the debtors' exemption of their homestead is therefore

Beer and wine will return to Plaza Cinema Cafe
If you were missing the beer and wine, like me, at the Plaza Cinema Cafe in downtown Orlando you'll be happy to hear it will be returning — hopefully by this weekend.
When the cinema closed down and reopened in December, the Plaza management (who took over the movie theater) did not have a license to sell beer and wine initially, the old management had the license so they had to wait until they got one. The license was obtained yesterday and they're hoping their beer and wine orders will be in by this Friday for the weekend movie crowd.

As the rosy light of dawn struggled through the grey clouds to stain the pristine white hills pink, further down into the valley something else was staining the landscape a similar color. Blood. Blood, mud, and bodies littered the valley floor. The battle that had created such carnage had only ended an hour ago. Those who had died in action were now long since stiff and frigid to the touch; the lightly drifting snow did not melt but settled like a thin blanket on their skin. Those who had survived their wounds but were rendered immobile remained upon the defaced field, still writhing and moaning through their chattering teeth.
Picking through the maze of bodies were figures dressed either in white or beige. Areas where tanks and other such vehicles that churned up earth in the wake of their path, mud was abundant which encrusted their government issued boots. Despite the discrepancies in uniform, all were stained with red. Blood. Those in white had blood on their hands and frocks. These were the nurses and other such medics sent to save whomever they could after the wake of battle.
Those in beige were soldiers, stained in their own blood or that of an enemy. The muzzles of their guns were trained on the ground. While the nurses were there to save, the soldiers were there to continue the destruction they had started. Ushers of death, these soldiers were figures of mercy to their suffering comrades and cruel dispatchers to foes. Yet all were met with the same end. A bullet cutting through the brain.
Eulalia's breath steamed in front of her face as she knelt by the side of a man who's chattering teeth had stilled only a few minutes ago. A bullet had pierced through his lung, causing a slow, agonizing death of suffocation as blood filled the organ. There wasn't much she could have done for him even if she had gotten there faster. It might have been better if one of the roaming soldiers had found him first and swiftly put his suffering to an end. Quietly, she tallied off the man's death as a number in her mind. He had been the third she had watched die that day. Out of the amount she had seen over the course of her employment, he was number thirty six. The sound of a gun firing nearby her didn't even make her flinch as she packed away her medical supplies into a leather bag.
"A soft voice whimpered out to her.
Eulalia's eyes scanned the masses of lifeless bodies in front of her, trained to pick up even the slightest sign of life.
"Please, h-help me
A puff of breath that formed those words wisped towards the grey sky, Eulalia quickly made her over to the voice. Her boots sunk into the muck as she methodically picked over the carnage. There, with the side of his face pressed into the horrid mixture of mud and blood, was a young man. Piled on his back was a corpse which rendered him immobile. Eulalia kneeled and rolled the corpse off to the side, to reveal the rest of the wounded soldier. It was then that she noticed the color of his uniform. It was a greenish color instead of beige. A soldier of the country that was invading them. An enemy.
Like something mechanic, Eulalia noted the distance separating herself from her country's soldiers. A gunshot sounded once more. She noted that the man weeping and brokenly pleading for his life at her knees was more of a boy than a man. No older than eighteen. She noted that the boy's only wounds were two clean shots, one through his shoulder and the other through his leg. Excruciating wounds, but easily treatable since major organs were missed and the bullet wasn't lodged in the body. Another gunshot sounded, this time closer. The boy was frantic now with his rasping voice rising, his good arm reached and clutched at her soiled frock.
"Please. Help. Help me-"
"Quiet," Eulalia covered the soldier's mouth with her hand. His wild eyes darted between her and some place behind her back. With precision, she pulled out a pair of scissors from her bag and brought towards the boy. He uselessly struggled against her hand. Tears tracked down his face to wash away streaks of mud. Quick, she used the scissor's edge to cut into the green uniform. With careful snips of the blade, the thick fabric fell away and into the mud. Underneath the uniform was a bloodied shirt, which thankfully was not green. Somehow she had known, in some part of her mind, that under the uniforms of beige or green, they were all the same.
"Stretcher!" Eulalia called out to her fellow medics as her hands deftly began to bandage the wounds of the now silent boy. Yet his eyes communicated to her everything. Everything he could have said in that moment and everything that language didn't even have a word for. With his good hand he grasped her cold, bloodied one. Even when the medics arrived he refused to let go. They placed him on the stretcher as gently as they could but he had to bite his tongue to keep from screaming. Still he refused to let go. With their hands clasped, Eulalia followed by the side of the stretcher from the field and into the infirmary tent.
Along the way she had surreptitiously pocketed the boy's identification tags. When her fellow medics asked the soldier who he was, he thankfully stayed silent except for the occasional groan of pain. The medics seemingly brushed it off as trauma and did not pry further into the matter. Eventually, he slipped into unconsciousness from either pain, shock, or exhaustion; and finally released her hand from its death grip. As Eulalia mechanically tended to his wounds, her ever calculating mind was finally able to slip into her own thoughts. Her first thought was: Why?
She knew the dangers and punishment for harboring an enemy and yet she had done it anyway. Despite the repeated question whirring in her head, she also knew that she couldn't have left that soldier on the barren battlefield to die. The second she looked into that boy's scared eyes she knew she couldn't do it.
The battle that day had caused them to sustain so many losses of life and limb that the infirmary was full to overflowing. A few golden-hearted medics and nurses volunteered to house the wounded within their own tents. Eulalia was among them. This sudden generosity wasn't from her benevolent heart but more of her mind. An instinct of preservation of herself, the boy, and their secret.
Night warred against the day, but Eulalia stayed up long in the darkness. Her cold eyes watching over the sleeping figure in the cot by hers. She studied the steady rise and fall of the soldier's chest. His dark hair was parted to one side and brushed over his forehead like a wing. Her fingers traced over the name stamped on the metal identification tag in her hand. James. His name was James Cervant. Number 000398075. Fourth company. Unit Delta. In that moment, Eulalia's frosty heart ached as she uneasily drifted off to sleep, her silent vigil ending only to welcome dreams.
The next morning a ceasefire had been called to collect the frozen dead. Eulalia stayed in her tent, hand feeding soup and changing James' bandages. They didn't speak to one another, they didn't need to, the silence was the only comforting luxury that they could afford. Another day passed by, the wind howled and the snow grew higher. Then another. Whispers began to circulate of this strange, silent, unknown young man that the frigid nurse was solely caring for. Eulalia was not known for infatuations or random acts of charity. On the third day, while she was sponging fever induced sweat off of the boy's brow; she turned to the sound of someone opening the flap of her tent. At the entrance letting the cold wind in stood an uninvited, imposing man in a beige uniform. Lieutenant Richardson.
With precision the lieutenant shoved Eulalia to the ground with one hand, and with the other took a pistol from his hip. At point blank range he shot James through the skull. Eulalia felt something warm and wet splatter onto her face. The reverberating sound of the gunshot was magnified by the abject silence that followed. If she hadn't already been on the ground Eulalia's legs would have buckled by then. She was in shock. Her usually ever thinking and analyzing mind was silent.
"Now, Ms. Nurse Emory
" Lieutenant Richardson began as he lit a cigarette and breathed in a lungful of smoke, only to expel it when he said her name, "We have incriminating evidence that you are indeed harboring a man, an enemy soldier at that." Eulalia's blue eyes dazedly looked over at James' body staining the cot. Part of his skull was shattered. She shuddered. The man continued with another drag, "Now that the enemy has been neutralized, you still have yourself in a precarious situation. You know the punishment for such an act if discovered is death by firing squad." The lieutenant kneeled down so he was at her eye level, two of his fingers curled around a strand of her blonde hair, playing with it. He breathed another smoky breath, "You're an attractive woman, Ms. Nurse Emory. An extremely attractive woman. Hate to see that go to waste." Eulalia blinked owlishly at him and vaguely wondered how that strand had been spared a matting of blood that flecked her face. Richardson stood, still smoking, and without another word exited the tent.
Eulalia sat there on the hard packed dirt inside her tent for what felt like an eternity, her eyes blank and staring at nothing. A moment passed and she raised her eyes to James' ruined mess of a face. And in that moment she realized through the comforting silence they had shared, she had never told him her name. It was only then that she started to weep. A harsh and broken sound of sobs clawed its way from her throat.
Somehow, on that floor of dirt, she had collapsed and cried herself to sleep, into a dreamless exhaustion. The ghostly light of the sun palely rose over the horizon. Bleary eyed and shivering, Eulalia awoke inside her tent. The first sight to meet her eyes was the creamy white hem of the bottom of a dress, brushing flush against the ground. Confusion and suspicion were sluggish in seeping into her mind as she slowly righted herself, eyes inching up the form in front of her.
"You're awake," the statement hung suspended in the air. The lips that had spoken them were set into a thin line as if in disapproving, and eyes dark like twin chips taken from the winter night sky. Eulalia looked into the bottomless eyes burying into her soul in silence. Those thin lips opened to speak once more, "Your story, Eulalia Agnes Emory, is nearing its end. The final page is turning. But there is need for you yet." The blonde nurse blinked, her voice cracked as she struggled to speak.
"Lady. Lady Ink."
The pale woman continued to speak and as she spoke, Eulalia studied Lady Ink's spindly form. The strange woman had a practical and calculated grace about her, her name seemed apropos with her long, inky black hair flowing down her back. She and Eulalia could have been opposite sides of the same coin. She half listened to Lady Ink's clipped and precise words and half wondered how this woman got into the guarded camp in such elegant attire without a stain. Eulalia picked out certain words such as The Book of Stories, Unraveling, Champion of Order, Gift, Construct, Locations, Archetype, Figments, and then something about Mud. The final term suddenly reminded the young woman that she was still covered in combined grime of dirt and dried blood.
With that remembrance, Eulalia turned around to view the cot laden with James' corpse. Sometime during the night his body had lost all warmth and was tinged a pale bloodless blue. There were no flies or stench of decay, just the lack of life and a jagged piece missing like a puzzle. "Are you prepared?" Lady Ink's question caught the young woman unawares and was startled from her reverie. Eulalia looked about the tent and then stared mutely at her empty hands. "Yes," she said, a hint of a spark glimmered in her blue eyes, yet still kneeling, her form was in abject submission to the powers greater than herself.
Silently, Lady Ink's thin finger traced a pattern in the air; an inky form took shape a hovered just above her hand. "This is my Gift to you," she stated, and handed the flat form to Eulalia. A hint of annoyance crossed the dark woman's features when Eulalia asked, "What is it?" Lady Ink tersely replied, "Anything you want it to be."
Eulalia looked down at the solid circular object in her grasp contemplatively. It was indeed a circle, smooth without beginning or end. She murmured, "It's a ring," and as soon as those words left her lips, the object shrunk in her palm until it was a size that could snugly fit on her fourth finger as a thin and unadorned band. The ring seemed to warm against her flesh. After the transformation, Lady Ink once more traced her finger through the air, "This is your Temporary Construct. It will take you to the Realm of Stories." The ink solidified and settled in Eulalia's other palm.
It was a spiral. It was a flat form in the shape of a spiral. She tried to think of what it could be, what it reminded her of, but her now rapid thoughts couldn't settle. It was a dark and spiraling vortex. A hole gouging into the earth. A whirlpool. A tornado. A spiral staircase to a high tower. With these comparisons in her mind, a strange wind began to whip around her body that was so forceful Eulalia had to shut her eyes. The last sight she had of the old world that she knew was Lady Ink's eyes, twin chips from the winter night sky.

Haha, I would also like to see how she and Dmitri would interact.
Best of luck to you.

Ah- that one's one of the harsher lessons in life. "No good deed goes unpunished" is its public face. Though like all life lessons, it isn't universally true, and altruism can be a very good thing indeed for all concerned.
It'll be interesting to see what the merciful Nurse does in the Worlds- she's bound to find some kinder than her own somewhere. Or harsher still.

During a semester abroad in college, we spent a week in Paris meandering through all the museums and art galleries. We saw some of Claude Monet's Water Lilies in person and have wondered ever since what it would be like to bathe near the cream, blue, green, and yellow lilies of Giverny. Wearing the A.L.C. Floral Dress ($219) comes pretty close. We just wish we were back in Paris to feel it all come together.

Hello everyone!
I have just installed B1 8.8 integration component. (PL 13)
Everthing went well, no problems during the installation, e.t.c
When I log in B1 (with B1i user or any other user) I get the following system message
"Cannot connect to B1i server. For more information see below"
"Invalid URI: The host name could not be parsed"
Licences are correctly assigned to B1i user.
Therefore I cannot open any dashboads. I have check the troubleshooting guide, I corrected the JCO connection in SLD, but the message still comes up.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the link, I have already read it through.
In SLD i have tested B1DI and JDBC connection as well.
No error, but i still cannot see any dashboards in B1.
Hello Ottó
in the cockpit tab of the general seettings you have to set the correct URI, thats what the error message is telling you
try this one for a stand alone or local Installation:
change 127.0.0.1 to the correct IP-adress of your server if you do not have a stand alone or local installtion
the name localhost will NOT WORK !!
the <servername>:8080 may not work if DNS of the servername is not redirected corectly, so you should prefer the ip-adress instead of the servername (you also could edit your hotst file
Good luck
Well, you solved my problem, it works.
The hero of the day.
Thanks a lot.
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to make an https connection B1if and will get exactly the same error that is above.
When I use the browser is triggered a box that asks me a username and a password. I tried entering all the passwords that I have associated with SAP and no work.
The link that gives me the error is:
Does anyone know what are these credentials?
Thank you all.
Soraia Cruz
if you use https instead of http you should try port 8443 instead of 8080
Sorry to crash, I'm already using the port 8443.
If you have any suggestions appreciate the help.
Thanks a lot,
Soraia Cruz
Hi Soraia,
with your link you directly want to access a szenario - that seems to be a webdav path.
To log into B1if you need this path (apache) https://127.0.0.1:8443/B1iXcellerator/exec/dummy/com.sap.b1ip.system.cc/bfd/AdminConsole.bfd?!defdoc=/com.sap.b1i.vplatform.ide/ui/vIDE.xml
Your path could be used in Altova xml-spy or e.g. with BitKinex
I dont think that you will get access via the browser to that webdav files (but I`m not a specialist on this)
