The School of English: a story by Hilary Mantel
'Beneath those houses,' the butler said, 'you should see what goes on. No one suspects the half of it. The whole earth is dug out. Spaciousness beneath. The panic room is seven times the size of this one. The whole of London can fall down around them and yet their freezer is fully stocked. All showers are multi-jet steam cabinets, plus the kitchen has coffee machine built in, ice machine, temperature-controlled cabinet for wine storage, sous vide machine with vacuum sealer, and an air filtration system that is suitable for allergy sufferers.'

The Magic of Modern Living
"Unconventional Advice for the Discerning Reader" by Sophie Wereley and "The Practical Witch's Guide to Acquiring Real Estate" by A. C. Wise are recent fantasy short stories that offer handy tips from similar perspectives.

Women in Science Fiction & Fantasy Month, 2015
Every April for the past several years, Fantasy Cafe has published a series of guest posts for Women in Science Fiction & Fantasy Month. This year, the article that generated the most discussion was "'I am ... ?': Representation of Mature Women in Fantasy" by Mieneke from A Fantastical Librarian, who asked, "So where are the older women in fantasy? Mature women who are the hero of their own story?" The many other guest posts this year offered an interesting range of questions, observations, and reflections--often by well-known names in the field. [more inside]
"The creative process ... was slightly disastrous."
The Whole Family [(1908; Wikipedia)] is a bit of an oddity - a 'shared-world' by twelve prominent authors, each focusing on an individual member of an extended New England upper class family. William Dean Howells sets up the framework in the opening chapter ... [I]n the second story, Mary Wilkins Freeman overturns the whole table with a wonderfully feminist reinterpretation of a secondary character. The rest of the book is a scramble to put the apples back in the cart ...In "5 Goodies from Gutenberg," Jared Shurin revisits a round-robin novel he reviewed in more detail last summer at Pornokitsch, but it's not the only classic collaborative fiction available online.

The Tyranny of Pew-Pew: How Fun Fantasy Violence Became Inescapable
1977 changed everything in Hollywood. "I'm not here to wonder whether Star Wars: Rebels is legacy pop culture — like DC and Marvel superheroes — that parents might be forcing on their kids the way white boomer dads evangelize Steely Dan. Instead, as the Avengers kick off another summer of mighty Marvel mook-blasting, I just want to ask: Why do we (mostly) agree, today, that this material is appropriate? And is something lost when pew-pew action/adventure follows the trajectory of soft drinks and fast food — going from occasional treat to everyday staple? In short, how did the decapitations of orcs and robots become the very center of our media culture?"
No, these oysters, they were purely oysters as a concept
A trio of Haruki Murakami's Advertorial Short Stories: In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Onward spent massive sums on advertising J. Press in the print media. The classic ad format, often seen on the back cover of lifestyle magazine Popeye, showed a Japanese or American man telling a colorful story about their favorite trad clothing item. In 1985, as Japanese pop culture went in more avant-garde directions, Onward came up with a new idea — asking up-and-coming novelist Murakami Haruki to write a very short story inside each month's advertisement for magazines Popeye, Box, and Men's Club.

The rabbit holes have higher rents
The Ghost Of Grindr "On Wednesday Michael Musto has an item in his column that reads "We've all met someone online with attractive photos who then shows up at your door looking like something from Night of the Living Dead, but rumors are growing amongst app-happy gays of a real life 'ghost trick' who shows up at your apartment via Grindr, then vanishes into thin air (shady!). I don't know what to think of this urban legend-y tale, but shaken witnesses are sticking by their stories, and police have been involved in a few incidents, so be careful out there, boys (and ghouls)."
Why should authors not embrace the networked world?
"It's hard not to hear cultural ruin, melodramatic as that may be, in every interrupting chirp and chime of a phone receiving a text or a call or blasting a video through its speakers on a packed subway train. The citizen in me, greedy for chances at quiet reflection and, frankly, to be left in peace from unwelcome noises, shudders and laments. But the artist in me, the writer, asks a more probing question, if not necessarily more optimistic: what might I do with all this?" Novelist Steve Himmer explores how to write about our increasingly interconnected world in "Reader, I Muted Him: The Narrative Possibilities of Networked Life."

Wonders of Destruction in Arabic Fiction
Historians of war and society would like to believe that military conflicts have fixed beginnings and ends. Conventional depictions of the Lebanese civil war are no exception and typically confine that conflict within the notional temporal parameters of 1975–90. But the key aggravating features generally identified with the events of the Lebanese civil war—class resentments, echoes of the Arab-Israeli conflict on a regional scale, domestic geographical inequalities, sectarian rancor, and political infighting across the Lebanese scene—had been accumulating since 1948, and even earlier.

The long shadow of the Super Friends
"Oh, how I mourn her passing"
Traces of Mavis. David MacFarlane writes about the life and work of Mavis Gallant for Canadian magazine The Walrus.
...an aspiring novelist once pressed Gallant for advice, which she stubbornly refused to give. She could have said something—anything, almost—to satisfy the would-be writer. But she wasn't the kind of person who did that. ... How to write? This was not, as far as Gallant was concerned, an uncomplicated question. It was also a question that, were it to be answered meaningfully, would require more soul-searching, more thought, more self-analysis than she would want to undertake in front of a stranger. It's easy to imagine how the question could come across as rude or impossible to answer—or both. Besides, she firmly believed that writing could not be taught. But the young author persisted. "All right," Gallant finally said. "Here's some advice: never drink cheap wine."

That evergreen feminist cautionary fable: The Handmaid's Tale
Does The Handmaid's Tale hold up? , Adi Robertson for The Verge:
"A few weeks ago, I mentioned to a friend that I was in the middle of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. 'It's like 1984 for feminists, right?' he asked. Sort of, I said. But it's a lot scarier. It's about how you'll lose every right you have, and none of the men you know will care. Then I said he would probably betray me if they froze all women's bank accounts. That was the peak of my paranoia, but it held on for several more days, as I read on the subway while half-consciously figuring out how I might theoretically escape to Canada. 1984 was for lightweights."[more inside]
There must be something ghostly in the air of Christmas
It was Christmas Eve. I begin this way because it is the proper, orthodox, respectable way to begin, and I have been brought up in a proper, orthodox, respectable way, and taught to always do the proper, orthodox, respectable thing; and the habit clings to me. Of course, as a mere matter of information it is quite unnecessary to mention the date at all. The experienced reader knows it was Christmas Eve ... It always is Christmas Eve, in a ghost story.In Told After Supper (1891), Jerome K. Jerome parodied the tradition of telling Christmas ghost stories, but it's plain to see that he had fun writing them.

César Aira
"I've realized that the perfect length for what I do is 100 pages. In my brevity there may be an element of insecurity. I wouldn't dare give a 1,000-page novel to a reader […] My novels became shorter as I became more renowned. People now allow me to do whatever I want. At any rate, publishers prefer thick books. But with books, the thicker they are, the less literature they have.""—César Aira [more inside]

Electric Literature's 25 Best Novels of 2014
"Year-end lists are always subjective and incomplete, but they are especially tricky for books. A dedicated film critic can watch every wide release film and a theater critic can go to most every play, but the book critic is faced with an insurmountable mountain of books each year. The sheer number of books is inspiring as a reader, but it can make 'best of' lists laughably subjective when the critic has only read a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of novels published each year. With that in mind, I decided to crowd source Electric Literature's year-end lists. First up: novels."

anxieties about lurid voyeurism, unwholesome interest: In Cold Blood
"Much has been said about the storytelling techniques of 'Serial,' which comes out in weekly installments even as the show's host, Sarah Koenig, reinvestigates the conviction of a Baltimore-area teenager for the murder of his ex-girlfriend. The serialized approach teases its audience with cliffhangers, prompts its listeners to construct their own theories and invites outsiders to glimpse the tricky winnowing process of reporting. But 'Serial' also testifies to how much the criminal justice system itself is founded on storytelling."

How To Write A Shitty Young Adult Novel
"Books are dead. It's sad, but it's basically true.

Or you could write a young adult novel."

They finally sent the package out i recieved it on saturday february 23rd in the letter it stated that i would recieve a free 7 day trial then after the free 7 day trial is over, there is a one-time $59.95 prcessing fee and a low annual membership fee of just $99.95. which i would normally understand but since i had just gotten back from vacation in went to the store on wednseday february 27th to buy some photo albums for the pictures and was told that the couldnt accept my debit card for $15 well i was extremely upset.
when i got home i called my bank and they said i was negative $117 when i went through and got a detailed list of what was withdrawn there was two electronical withdraws one of $59.95 and the second for $99.95 both from ADV. i told my bank that i had never authorized these withdraws and the person i had talked to gave me the number of the company that had withdrawn the money. when i called i reached advantage capital so by this time i was very upset and when one of the reps answered the phone she was rude i told her who i was and why i was calling and she told me legally there was nothing i could do about getting the $59.95 back but i could get the $99.95 back, when i asked to speak to a supervisor she said that she was the supervisor.
i was so upset that i tried to give the phone to my aunt, whom i live with and who also helps me to balance my money (in short she is basically my accountant)and we were told that she couldnt tell her anything without me on the phone so i got back on the phone and she continued to tell us there was nothing i could do to get the 59 dollars back then we got disconnected.
i called back today and finally got to a supervisor and he gave me the address but told me that there is no phone number that they have the only way they have to get ahold of the company is through email and they cant give that out.
when i got on the internet to try to find a number for them on the internet yellow pages it said there is no listing for them. so until my bank gets through with the investigation i am out basically 160 dollars plus the check fees for the checks that they cause to bounce which is another 200 dolloars. i hope everyone who gets a call from them now checks them out before giving them their account information.

Climategate: Warmist conspiracy exposed?
Andrew Bolt
–, Friday, November, 20, 2009, (8:34pm)
8.15 PM UPDATE: The
Hadley University of East Anglia CRU director admits the emails seem to be genuine:
The director of Britain's leading Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, has told Investigate magazine's TGIF Edition tonight ..."It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails."…
TGIF asked Jones about the controversial email discussing "hiding the decline", and Jones explained what he was trying to say….
So the 1079 emails and 72 documents seem indeed evidence of a scandal involving most of the most prominent scientists pushing the man-made warming theory - a scandal that is one of the greatest in modern science. I've been adding some of the most astonishing in updates below - emails suggesting conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more. If it is as it now seems, never again will "peer review" be used to shout down sceptics.
This is clearly not the work of some hacker, but of an insider who's now blown the whistle.
Not surprising, then, that Steve McIntyre reports:
Earlier today, CRU cancelled all existing passwords. Actions speaking loudly.
But back to the original post - and the most astonishing of the emails so far…
Hackers have broken into the data base of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit - one of the world's leading alarmist centres - and put the files they stole on the Internet, on the grounds that the science is too important to be kept under wraps.
The ethics of this are dubious
, to say the least. But the files suggest, on a very preliminary glance, some other very dubious practices, too, and a lot of collusion - sometimes called "peer review". Or even conspiracy.
A warning, of course. We can only say with a 90 per cent confidence interval that these emails are real.
(ALTERNATIVE link to the files. And another link.)
Ethics alert! (my bolding - and I've update this post with the full alleged email, now):

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow.
I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline. Mike's series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.

Nice. This could be fun.
Surely these emails can't be genuine. Surely the world's most prominent alarmist scientists aren't secretly exchanging emails like this, admitting privately they can't find the warming they've been so loudly predicting?:

Hi all
Well I have my own article on where the heck is global warming ? We are asking that here in Boulder where we have broken records the past two days for the coldest days on record. We had 4 inches of snow. The high the last 2 days was below 30F and the normal is 69F, and it smashed the previous records for these days by 10F. The low was about 18F and also a record low, well below the previous record low.
This is January weather (see the Rockies baseball playoff game was canceled on saturday and then played last night in below freezing weather).
Trenberth, K. E., 2009: An imperative for climate change planning: tracking Earth's global energy. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 1, 19-27, doi:10.1016/j.cosust.2009.06.001. [1][PDF] (A PDF of the published version can be obtained from the author.)
The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.***
This has to be a forgery, surely. Because if it isn't, we're about to see the unpicking of a huge scandal.
I mean, the media will follow this up, right? In the meantime, use with care.
Have I said "conspiracy" already?

We probably need to say more about this. Land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming — and skeptics might claim that this proves that urban warming is real and important.

Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4?
Keith will do likewise. He's not in at the moment – minor family crisis.
Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don't have his new email address.
We will be getting Caspar to do likewise.
I see that CA claim they discovered the 1945 problem in the Nature paper!!

Destroying government data subject to an FOI request is a criminal offence. Is this data being deleted the stuff CA asked from Jones in repeated FOI requests? If true, Jones had better get himself a lawyer very fast, but I doubt very much he would have done anything remotely illegal.
This, if true (caution!), is especially sick. (Note; John Daly was a Tasmanian sceptic who did superb work, especially on sea level rises on the "Isle of the Dead"). I've added the boldening):

In an odd way this is cheering news ! One other thing about the CC paper – just found another email – is that McKittrick says it is standard practice in Econometrics journals to give all the data and codes !! According to legal advice IPR overrides this.

Reported with great sadness
I said conspiracy, but Professor Overpeck (a contact of Robyn "100 metres" Williams) prefers they be called the "team":

thanks David - lets see what others think. I agree, that we don't want to be seen as being too clever or defensive. Note however, that all the TAR said was "likely" the warmest in the last 1000 years. Our chapter and figs (including 6.10) make it clear that it is unlikely any multi-decadal period was as warm as the last 50 years. But, that said, I do feel your are right that our team would not have said what the TAR said about 1998, and thus, we should delete that second sentence.
any other thoughts team?

Regarding that FOI request sent to Jones, referred to above. Here (if the email is genuine) he discusses in a file called "jones-foiathoughts.doc" his evident reluctance to hand over information, presumably to Climate Audit - and lists as one option sending back the information just as raw data, which would "annoy" those behind the FOI request:
Options appear to be:
Send them the data
Send them a subset removing station data from some of the countries who made us pay in the normals papers of Hulme et al. (1990s) and also any number that David can remember. This should also omit some other countries like (Australia, NZ, Canada, Antarctica). Also could extract some of the sources that Anders added in (31-38 source codes in J&M 2003). Also should remove many of the early stations that we coded up in the 1980s.
Send them the raw data as is, by reconstructing it from GHCN. How could this be done? Replace all stations where the WMO ID agrees with what is in GHCN. This would be the raw data, but it would annoy them.
The warmist scientists at RealClimate show how carefully they've screened and manipulated their site to muffle any scepticism:

guys, I see that Science has already gone online w/ the new issue, so we put up the RC post. By now, you've probably read that nasty McIntyre thing. Apparently, he violated the embargo on his website (I don't go there personally, but so I'm informed).
Anyway, I wanted you guys to know that you're free to use RC in any way you think would be helpful. Gavin and I are going to be careful about what comments we screen through, and we'll be very careful to answer any questions that come up to any extent we can. On the other hand, you might want to visit the thread and post replies yourself. We can hold
comments up in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think they should be screened through or not, and if so, any comments you'd like us to include.
You're also welcome to do a followup guest post, etc. think of RC as a resource that is at your disposal to combat any disinformation put forward by the McIntyres of the world. Just let us know. We'll use our best discretion to make sure the skeptics dont'get to use the RC comments as a megaphone…
I have mentioned "conspiracy", right? RealClimate is so far silent.
Reader Chemist finds more which - if true - make this proof of a conspiracy which is one of the largest, most extraordinary and most disgraceful in moderrn science, given the stakes:
Here are some gems. "I did get an email from the FOI person here early yesterday to tell me I shouldn't be deleting emails unless this was 'normal' deleting to keep emails manageable!""Yes, I am aware of the confusion surrounding what the Hadley Centre did and why. It is even messier than you realize. I have forcing data sets (more than one!) from Jonathon Gregory that differ from the numbers yougave in your email!!""Ed to be really honest, I don't see how this was ever accepted for publication in Nature.""Mike,I'd rather you didn't. I think it should be sufficient to forward the para from Andrew Conrie'semail that says the paper has been rejected by all 3 reviewers. You can say that the paper was an extended and updated version of that which appeared in CR.Obviously, under no circumstances should any of this get back to Pielke.Cheers""we are having trouble to express the real message of the reconstructions - being scientifically sound in representing uncertainty , while still getting the crux of the information across clearly."
How to minimise data to exaggerate a warming trend (bold added):
From: Tom Wigley [...]
To: Phil Jones [...]
Subject: 1940s
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:25:38 -0600
Cc: Ben Santer [...]
Here are some speculations on correcting SSTs to partly explain the 1940s warming blip. If you look at the attached plot you will see that theland also shows the 1940s blip (as I'm sure you know).
So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this would be significant for the global mean – but we'd still have to explain the land blip. I've chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these). When you look at other blips, the land blips are 1.5 to 2 times (roughly) the ocean blips—higher sensitivity plus thermal inertia effects. My 0.15 adjustment leaves things consistent with this, so you can see where I am coming from.
Removing ENSO does not affect this.
It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip, but we are still left with "why the blip".
Let me go further. If you look at NH vs SH and the aerosol effect (qualitatively or with MAGICC) then with a reduced ocean blip we get continuous warming in the SH, and a cooling in the NH—just as one would expect with mainly NH aerosols.
The other interesting thing is (as Foukal et al. note – from MAGICC) that the 1910-40 warming cannot be solar. The Sun can get at most 10% of this with Wang et al solar, less with Foukal solar. So this may well be NADW, as Sarah and I noted in 1987 (and also Schlesinger later). A reduced SST blip in the 1940s makes the 1910-40 warming larger than the SH (which it currently is not)—but not really enough.
So ... why was the SH so cold around 1910? Another SST problem? (SH/NH data also attached.)
This stuff is in a report I am writing for EPRI, so I'd appreciate any comments you (and Ben) might have.
Keeping sceptic Chris de Freitas out of the IPCC reports:
The other paper by MM is just garbage – as you knew. De Freitas again. Pielke is also losing all credibility as well by replying to the mad Finn as well – frequently as I see it. I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. K and I will keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is !
Which way to the trough (1252672219.txt 11 Sep 09)?
> After asking Anjuli I can confirm that government employees cannot receive funding besides travel reimbursement. So for those of you that are GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, the only thing that remains to do is to go through the document once again, make sure your work (past and future) is not misrepresented, and then send me a note with an "OK" or your new comments, specifying that you are a government employee (please don't let me guess it).
For those of you that are ACADEMICS WITH 12 MONTHS SALARY all that we can budget is a small amount of consulting fees, up to 2 weeks' worth.
If you belong to this category please respond saying that you are or you are not interested. If you are, then include in the document at the end in the place already arranged for it a statement of work referring to specific tasks as they stand in Section 3 of the narrative, and a bio-sketch (see end of this email for specific instructions).
For THOSE OF YOU THAT CAN GET FULL SUPPORT, please say if you want it or > not, and if you do, then do as I requested above: include in the document at the end in the place already rranged for it a statement of work referring to specific tasks as they stand in Section 3 of the narrative, and a bio-sketch (see end of this email for specific instructions).

Meantime government and opposition are about to agree on an "emissions trading scheme" that will:
1) Increase taxes
2) Add a whole new layer of paper-shuffling, carbon-"counting" bureaucrats to government — to monitor and punish corporates that release the "pollutant" upon which life depends.
3) Ensure massive financial churn of our money to nobody's ultimate benefit.
4) Drive industries and jobs offshore to countries that have no such schemes.
5) Destroy Australia's coal industry, guaranteeing future power cuts.
6) Make not one iota's difference to the world's climate.
Go figure folks.

I love the fujisan mug! Want!
Ah, I haven't had natto for the longest time. I'm sure there's some in the freezer. Yesterday I did have a bit of a nihonpoi dinner – miso shiru with broccoli and egg; sauteed courgettes, beef and carrots; multigrain rice And something different but from a Japanese magazine recipe – ninjin peperoncino – carrot 'pasta' with olive oil and chilli. No parmesan though which would have definitely made it even better than it was.
Oh and I had udon with saba and mizuna on Monday at London's best udon (and only?) place, Koya in Soho. Can't even remember if it's super authentic to me though! Demo, kekko oishi.
I'm on a healthy eating kick trying not to eat sugar, sweeteners or white carbs. They all mess with my mood, energy and hormones.

I've never had natto and I doubt I'd order it…it does look a bit funky!

I love how so many people are commenting on the mug because it's the first thing I noticed too! Love it, and love all your crockery & utensils :)

You'd think my heart would ring with pride–that's what my teachers said about me–but you'd be wrong, because I know the truth: Sam is an avid reader of Harry Potter. And nothing else.
He's reading them through for the third time this summer.
I cheer that, I really do. But eventually, you have to read something else. Right? Right?
We've lined up all the likely candidates from this generation" Warriors. Magyk. Percy Jackson. Nope, nope and nope. Put forth our own old favorites. The Hobbit? Not yet. Narnia? Some, but not all. Five Children and It? Too dense. (I think giving him our old copies of stuff is a mistake–the new ones have bigger print and might look more welcoming.)
And then came the summer reading assignment. Caddie Woodlawn–a book I loved so much our old dog was named from it. A book of greek myths. Short, no problem. Plus: a book you haven't read before. Any book.
Last night I stacked up ten choices. All those above, plus a Swallows and Amazons! A Great Brain! Half Magic! Sam, I said, you're so lucky you haven't read any of these yet!
And then Lily added one more to the pile. The Witches, by Roald Dahl, beloved author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which we read aloud (and have seen both movies). Gift of a favorite babysitter. Sam took it reluctantly to the couch.
And….bingo! "This book pulls me in like Harry Potter pulls me in, mom!"
Please, please let more books do the same!

The visitors had started the brighter team and created several good openings, but they failed to take advantage and were made to pay as the Magpies went ahead against the run of play.
The hosts were clinical in their finishing from there on as they leap-frogged Crewe in the Sky Bet League One table, with 20-year-old winger Callum McGregor, on loan from Celtic, scoring two of their four goals.
Davis said: "It's how it goes sometimes - when you're down you don't get much. But I'd like to see the stats throughout the game because we probably had more shots on target.
"The possession wouldn't have been much different as a lot of theirs was very deep in their own half and I thought that we played reasonably well.
"It was a much better performance than last week against Gillingham and there are positives to take out of it.
"If you were a neutral looking at the result and you hadn't been here, you'd think that we had been thrashed. But if you were here, you would have been encouraged with the performance."
Had Crewe struck first at a time when they were on top, it could have been them celebrating their second win of the season and not the hosts.
Davis knew as much and admitted it would have meant a much different game, saying: "It counts for any game because opening the scoring allows you to settle into the game.
"If you get that early goal, it allows you to defend and hold on to your lead and build on it.
"We had two or three great chances early on where Max (Clayton) blasted one over, we had a couple of shots wide and their keeper has made a couple of saves where he's parried it but we couldn't get to the rebound.
"But that's the way it goes and obviously we're disappointed with the result, but encouraged by the performance and it gives us something to build on."

Qutb al-Din Aibak
|Quṭb al-Dīn Aibak
|Founder of Mamluk Dynasty in Delhi
|12 June 1206 –1210
|1210 (aged 60)
Delhi Sultanate
|Mamluk Dynasty
Quṭb al-Dīn Aibak,[1] Aibak also spelled Aybak (1150–1210) was the founder of Turkic dominion in northwestern India and the Mamluk Dynasty in Delhi.
Qutb was born to Turkic parents in Turkistan. In his childhood, Quṭb was sold as a slave and raised at Nishapur, Persia, where he was purchased by the local Qazi. After the death of his master he was sold by his master's son and become eventually a slave of Muhammad Ghori. He came into the possession of Muʿizz al-Dīn Muḥammad (also known as Muhammad of Ghori), who put him in charge of the royal stables or Amir-i-Akhur.
Eventually Quṭb was appointed to military command. He became an able general of his owner Muʿizz al-Dīn Muḥammad. In 1193 and after conquering Delhi, Muʿizz al-Dīn Muḥammad returned to Khorāsān and left the consolidation of the Ghūrid conquests in northwest India to Quṭb. With his headquarters at Delhi, Quṭb subjugated areas between the Ganges (Ganga) and Yamuna (Jumna) rivers. He then turned his attention to the Rajputs who were still resisting Ghūrid domination. In 1195–1203 he mounted campaigns against their strongholds, while his lieutenant Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji conquered Bihar and Bengal.
When Muʿizz al-Dīn was assassinated in 1206, Quṭb al-Dīn was his logical successor. He was still technically a slave, but he quickly obtained manumission. He married the daughter of Tāj al-Dīn Yildiz of Ghazna, one of the other principal claimants to succeed Muʿizz al-Dīn, and, by other judiciously arranged marriages, consolidated his rule.
He built the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque in Delhi and the Adhai-Din-Ka-Jhonpra mosque in Ajmer. He started the construction of Qutb Minar in memory of sufi saint Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki which was completed by his successor, Iltutmish.
Surviving inscriptions describe Quṭb as Malik ("king"), and the Quṭb Mīnār in Delhi still stands to commemorate his victories.
Death and successor[edit]
He died of injuries received in a polo match. He was buried in Lahore near the Anarkali Bazaar. His son-in-law, able general, and successor, Iltutmish (reign: 1211–36), basing his power on the conquests of Quṭb, was able to establish the independence of the Delhi Sultanate under the Mamluk Dynasty (Delhi)−Slave Dynasty.[1]

The past 6 months have seen a lot of coding and content added to version 6.
Here is a list of some of the highlights:
Since this is a dynamic, sandbox game, player town making will be very important since there are no towns at the start of a world. It is a feature I have never implemented before so it will take a lot of time to get it all figured out. Player feedback is important to help me know if I am on the right or wrong track.
Wait, what happened to version 5?!?! Well, it IS version 5 but with a new client. V5 was built with AGK and V6 is now built using C# with no game library just like V1/V2 were built. Why? Because I can build it faster and give it a more consistent GUI look.
The theme is fantasy, not modern, and I am developing an actual story.
I realized in October 2014 that RPGWO V5 isn't unique enough to really be successful. This type of online 2D RPG has been made 1000's of times already. Even if I got a good mobile one working… well a mobile one could be somewhat successful, maybe, but it would need a dedicated artist to redo everything.
I was playing Gurk, an old school, single player, party based RPG, on my phone and wondered if anyone had made an online version. So I looked around for anything and could not find one. Maybe I am not searching for the right phrase or acronym?
So, I started work on a new online game like my old RPG Party game. Will announce more when I get a playable game, probably in a few months.
Decided to change the theme from fantasy to modern. Mainly because fantasy I have been doing most of my life and I want to step outside of the closet…err… the box and challenge myself with something different.
Lots to do and figure out still but so far it looks pretty good.
I put the V2 Mission ini server files and the client content files (bmp, wav, dat, etc) in the download section. They are the files I last used on the unfinished zombie apocalypse world I was making back in 2009, I think. I don't know if they will work with V1 server or not.
Version 5 has really been coming along nicely. My main worry, of course, is boredom since I already made an online, fantasy game. Why make another of the same? So, I really need some feature(s) that separated it from V1/V2 and keeps me motivated. Two of them I have come up with: limited sandbox and NPC AI.
We all pretty much know what sandbox means, can modify anything in the world, but what do you mean by "limited"? Basically, nothing spawns from thin air. All the resources that are in world at the start, is it. Like monsters and NPCs don't spawn with weapons and items. If they want them, they need to get them some how like mining/blacksmith, buying or steal/looting. NPC shop keepers don't spawn with anything. They need to get the items they want to sell some how. Yes, some stuff does spawn from thin air, like right now, Flying Insects spawn from Marsh Grass or dead bodies but it has a logical origin. Or seeds spawn from a plant. I am still figuring it out and not really sure how playable, fun and challenging it will make the world.
I would like to program the NPCs with good artificial intelligence. My goal is to have them behave like players. The world starts off with nothing built. I want the NPCs (and players) to build it themselves, thus the whole sandbox idea. NPC will need to reverse traverse the usage system to figure out how to make things they want or need. Like they are hungry and need food. It searches for plants or trees around them that may yield food with usage (usually using hand on it to pick). Still not sure how this will all work or if I will even be able to code it. Plus don't really know what playable, fun factor it will bring for players.
Here is a list of some of the features it has so far:
It was 13 years ago, October 2000, that I started work on RPGWO. I had just gone from part-time to full-time college while still working full-time. I had to quit playing Asheron's Call because of time and money but was able to squeeze time in at school to start coding an online RPG using Visual Basic 6, which I was learning in school at the time.
The Visual Basic game making community was kinda big back then. One site I remember was The Black Hole? But the patrons of those sites quickly attached themselves to my game and its progress over the first year. I think after most of the major features were added, then it really picked up but still stayed nice and small and managable. I think the most players I ever saw on Steeltide was 80-90.
Then I made a version 2 that improved on things but still used Visual Basic 6. It had a bigger view, multi-item on a map spot, multi-maps, etc.
Facebook showed up and I tried to make a version 3 for FB using Silverlight but various technical issues popped up, plus I realized FB sucks. I used the existing server in Visual Basic and the client I did in Silverlight C#.
I had learned a lot about programming in Silverlight so decided to make a 4th version in Silverlight, independant of FB. It went pretty well and I was able to learn C#. I made the server from scratch too in C#. Maybe people and myself thought it would go faster to make an online game all over again but it took a long time to get any progress. I ended up stopping because of Silverlight and it just wasn't picking up steam like I wanted plus it wasn't cross platform enough with all the smart phones types that showed up.
When I would get bored with RPGWO, I did all sorts of other projects (mostly cut short) in between the years like RPG Party, Dungeon Fate, RTSWO, Galactic Venture, Medieval Nation, Colony, etc.
Currently the V1/V2 worlds are all run by players. The server programs are all in the Download section for everyone to play with. Just email me to have your world listed if you want.
So now I am busy working on version 5!!! Using C# for the server (got starter code from V4 server) and using the App Game Kit (AGK) from The Game Creators. Been working on it most of the year. The client is in the download page and the server should be up and running for player testing. Also gonna have an android client soon. Still a long way to go but slowly getting there.
Thanks for everyone's support over the years and in the future!

Friday 10:11AM – Simple Secrets to Health, Wellness and Happiness
Hi, I'm Jon and I'm really excited because today, I'm going to share with you the simple secret of how today, you can get one big step closer to true health and wellness with no fad diets, boring workout routines, or immense struggle on your part.
Have you ever felt discouraged, sad or even alone in your struggle to be healthier? Don't worry – you're not alone! Statistics show that only 13% of people feel that they are healthy and really well – that leaves an entire 87% of the population struggling on a daily basis!
Have you ever wondered about the many small health problems that, over a period of years, you have learned to live with — ones you feel are too insignificant to mention to your doctor…? Like your hair is way too dry, or you have dark circles under your eyes, or your nails are too brittle, or you get cramps in your legs or you feel hungry right after eating. These may or may not be symptoms of nutritional deficiencies – imbalances your body has learned to live with although they can cause problems and fixing the underlying reasons for those little symptoms can finally help you to get healthier, which can make getting in shape or losing weight, or getting ready for surgery or treatments a lot easier… but every time you try it hasn't worked or you find a reason why it's not for you, or you don't know where to start, or what to do, or even what you should expect.
Stay with me for the next few minutes as I show you exactly how it's possible to identify and fix those underlying health problems and regain true health and WELLNESS in just 60 days or less.
If this sounds like it could be for you, let me introduce you to Freda Newman RNC (that's Registered Nutritional Consultant) and her online nutritional targeting software, MyBioScan.
MyBioScan is going to totally change you, like it has many others. It's going to ask questions you've never thought of before, questions you didn't realize can relate to your health in an important way. And then MyBioScan will quickly take your weighted answers into a proprietary weighted algorithm and create your unique nutritional profile showing you exactly what to do so you can finally look and be your healthiest and keep it going for the rest of your life.
What this program will give you is the ability to finally rid yourself of those pesky health problems, prepare yourself for any health issues that lie ahead, and reinforce your body's everyday natural defences. Just by following the simple MyBioScan program that was designed specifically with you in mind you can finally radiate true health and wellness.
But you know what, don't just take my word for it. Check out this case study: In just a few short days, A.M. in Portland Oregon was able to achieve a life-altering improvement, as he says: "About a week ago I ordered your complete nutritional analysis. Being an eternal skeptic, but an avowed believer in nutritional and natural remedies to solve some of the bodies problems, I read it with caution. I then implemented a dietary change to incorporate changes that addressed the red-line or near red-line deficiencies. The change has been remarkable, the pain in my hands literally disappeared, my nausea went away and my energy level skyrocketed, for the first time in awhile I feel good. I'll keep it up and for whatever role your analysis played, Thank You." So just by following the exact steps set out in his MyBioScan personal web page and chart A.M. in Portland Oregon was able to get back on the road to true health. Isn't this the sort of result you'd also want to get? These and more are results you can confidently aim for and achieve using the incredibly effective MyBioScan system.
Now I know what you're thinking: "Jon, how in the world am I supposed to achieve these results when nothing else has worked for me so far?"
Well, the question really is: "What's holding you back?". If it's fear of failing you've already failed – if you're questioning whether something like this is for you, without believing in what you too can achieve, you're passing up the opportunity to actually get something out of this and potentially even surpass those who have already got results from it!
MyBioScan is one-of-a-kind. It's unique property is that it can actually uncover those secrets your body holds, secrets that have been holding you back from complete health and wellness – it's that simple, and it should be a simple question in your head right about now: Is this something you want to do, or not.
But wait, there's more. I really wanted to go the extra mile for you as a customer because I want to ensure that all of this isn't just talk, so to help you achieve your fitness goals even faster than you thought possible, I've lined up four kick-ass wellness references that you can start using straight away, to get you started.
As part of your investment in MyBioScan, you'll also get instant access to 2 valuable health references:

I've tried to edit both the header.css and jquery.css part and tried moving everything, changing positioning (relative, absolute), adding "bottom:20px" etc etc - no success. The black box behind the picture won't move an inch, only the picture overlaying it moves around. But the picture itself also doesn't show correctly when overlying the black box.
I am pretty new to CSS so please help me.

5 Responses to "The Government Cover up of Bigfoot"
Fast paced and with some new info. Would not have watched conspiracy shows ten years ago.
But, something s wrong with our inability to prove this.
Standing used to be no kill and his tome in this is over the top He used to get close enough then, if he can't now with murder on his mind it may point again to some freaky bigfoots.
Creative editing of Medlrum clips.
Only 20 minutes, but this is the drum we all need to be beating. Cover up.
Wonder why you think it's worth watching?
The whole viking report has been blown out of proportion. Leif Erickson did not see Sasquatch, he met the indigenous peoples of Canada and wrote his description of them. He said they had bad hair (the Vikings were pretty vain about their long hair) and dark eyes, that's it.
you should stop looking to the fed for anything!!
why do we need their opinion on anything?
what are they gonna tell us that we dont allready know?
Well, if the government knows anything about Bigfoot, they would, of course, cover it up. That's how they operate.

Foam protection...
I have a couple of RRS tripods and they certainly get a tad cold up here in the great white north. Where do I find the foam protection that I see on many of the tripods in photos?
Better yet, what the hell are they called?
#1. "RE: Foam protection..." | In response to Reply # 0dm1dave Nikonian since 12th Sep 2006Thu 17-Jan-13 08:34 PM
They are generally called Tripod Leg Wraps.
The Nikonians Photo Pro Shop sells them here.
Many people will just use pip insolation wrapped with cloth tape or duct tape.
I use the rubber tape made for bicycle handle bars. It does not provide as much padding as Leg Wraps or pipe insulation but it does protect the legs from scratches and it makes the leg less cold to the touch.

I use the 1/4" solid foam with the rubber outer layer pipe insulation. It makes for nice padding and the rubber outer layer keeps it from fraying and tearing easily.

Bolder Fonseca From MATASA
Gregory Mottola
Posted: February 18, 2013
Attendees of the ProCigar Festival will get a sneak preview this week of the Fonseca Cubano Exclusivo, a new box-pressed brand from S.A.G. Imports made at the MATASA factory in the Dominican Republic, which is run by Manuel "Manolo" Quesada. The line features a wrapper known as Dominican HVA (Havana Vuelta Arriba) around a Dominican binder with a filler blend consisting of Connecticut broadleaf, Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco. This is somewhat of a departure for the company, as Fonseca branded cigars are primarily mild to medium bodied.
"We've been trying to figure how best to take advantage of Fonseca's brand recognition without suffering from the perception that all Fonseca cigars are mild," said Terence Reilly of SAG Imports. "The goal is to offer greater intensity of flavor to those who find the classic Fonseca too light."
Unlike the company's more full-bodied brands, the Fonseca Cubano Exclusivo will bear the classic Fonseca band as well as a secondary ring distinguishing its bolder Cubano Exclusivo status.
If you can't make it to the ProCigar Festival, you can look for it's four sizes in April. They're set to retail in the $6.00 to $9.00 range.

"I send them money but want to do more. We need the nation to stop the killing, stop the war. This is why I fight David Haye, to help people take notice."

I just updated the plugin to the new version and am having some problems that blocks me from updating other sites:
This is what I have entered, which used to work:
"CSS style for form input fields on the contact form" is:
style="text-align:left; margin:0;" class="text"
Previously this rendered to:
<input id="si_contact_name1" class="text" type="text" size="40" value="" name="si_contact_name" style="text-align:left; margin:0;">
which worked fine.
What I see now is:
<input id="si_contact_name1" type="text" size="40" value="" name="si_contact_name" style="text-align:left; margin:0;" class="text">
This doesn't work as everything after style= is lumped together in spite of the quotes. The class declaration is inside the style= declaration.
By the way: I have noticed you change the code on wordpress.org without bumping the version number. This results in alerts from the wordfence plugin. Might be a good idea to change the plugin only after the version number is bumped.
Thanks for a great plugin though. Hope you have time soon to look at the problem above. Or maybe you can suggest another way to have the
class="text" declaration working?

There�s definitely a youthful vibe to the current exhibit at the Wheeler School�s Chazan Gallery. Not only are most of the show�s six contributors still in their early to middle 20�s, but the kind of work they�re showing � most of it small-scaled, handmade and decidedly unfussy � is typical of the kind of art that�s popping up in cutting-edge galleries and art spaces these days.
New Bedford artist Jodi Stevens, for example, makes wonderful little needlepoint pieces that depict scenes from the artist�s life, including one showing a hand holding a cell phone and another showing a couple sleeping in bed. Though the scenes themselves don�t look especially ominous, the title � �The Anxiety Series� � hints at darker currents lying just below the surface.
Providence artist Harrison Bucy, meanwhile, has a knack for creating offbeat creatures that suggest a mash-up of comic-book characters and alien life forms. A print called �Lobster,� for instance, shows a two-legged figure with the arms and head of a lobster. The result could easily be a new submersible superhero: Crustacean Man. (Ends Jan. 30.)
