Piratecat vs. Sparky
Festival of Lights
Diwali. The Hindi festival of lights. The triumph of light over dark, knowledge over ignorance. Heres hoping.
Day 1 - Dhantrayodashi
When Ankur popped around to my cluttered corner of the fourth floor lab I knew something was up. He leaned around the side of my cube flourishing a tacky, blue suit and a battered instrument case. I pursed my lips as he hung the unpleasant suit over my print of George Washington Carver. He very carefully put the case on the floor, as if it held something unimaginably precious.
Check this out, these used to belong to my uncle, he grinned, thumbing a release on either side of the case.
With a clack the clasps leapt open. Ankur beamed with the pride of nostalgia at the two decrepit ventriloquists dummies entombed inside. I couldnt help but feel we had disturbed their rest. Dust floated out. I stifled a sneeze.
Your uncle had a Michael Jackson dummy? I asked hiding a smile behind my sneeze-warding hand.
Ankur pointed at the smaller dummys forehead, See her bindi. HER bindi. Theyre married, he motioned to include the other figure.
He pivoted on his heel to give me a long, measured glance before turning back to the creepy figures, Tonight is the first night of Diwali, he began slowly, Therere performances every night. Anyone who wants to perform can, he grinned again and shrugged, Rather, anyone who wants to perform is allowed. Want to go?
Sure, its not like Dr. P needs these anytime soon, I said gesturing at the lab papers Id been marking up. Ankur stiffened. Hed had a run in with Professor Pflanzer.
Sorry, I muttered. Or something like it. Smoothing the hair on the dummies, Ankur cleanly snapped the case shut.
I should go on around eight-ish. Come find me before the show. I have something to tell you.
As he walked away his foot left a neat print in the dust from the case.
Eight-ish had come and gone. And nine-ish. Ankur was nowhere to be found. Worry. Making a circuit around the Auditorium I found a door I hadnt previously seen wedged open with a bag of squishy orange candy. Ick, carnival peanuts. Nasty. Slipping through the door, I crept carefully in, peering through the dim. Old scenery. Canvas wardrobes, mothball stink. Shadow puppets, shadows. Fog from a machine somewhere spilled out over the floor. From above, distant and dreamlike, the hypnotic drone of tamburas, the heart-wrenching brightness of sitars.
And there he was. Sitting in the dark with his dummies, a grin stuck on his face, meditating.(suit.jpg) Something wasnt right. The fog was pouring off of him. Alarm. I reached out and gasped as my fingers touched solid, Ankur-colored ice. His fixed and staring eyes began to glow white and the mouths of the dummies dropped open spilling more fog. But this fog didnt fall to the floor with the rest, it looped and coiled, serpentine, toward me. Blinking I tried to pull my hand back, but it had frozen to Ankurs face. I beat at his brittle, blue suit with my free hand. Freaking out. The coils seem to wreathe my neck and for no real reason I thought of the lunches my mom used to pack for me. And I screamed. Fainted.
Day 2 Narakchaturdashi
Ive been cold for a while. Cant sleep when Im cold. Blanket wheres my This is not my bed. Those are not my sounds. Not my room. I have a splitting headache and a knot on the back of my head. The fingertips on my right hand are sore and poorly bandaged. I remember Ankur. I sit up, brilliantly awake, heart in my throat. Small, gray room. Unmistakable rocking. Puke on the floor. I didnt eat any of those nasty candy peanuts. What Its a boat. And from the look of things, I shouldnt be expecting Captain Stubing any time soon. Though Id settle for Gopher, or even Julie.
A slow, building squeal announces the opening of the hatch and I back up into the corner, well away from the door, just like a good little damsel. Damnit. A bulky figure, bundled head to toe in heavy winter clothes, enters. I think its a man, but its curves suggest a woman. White light glows from underneath its cap. My knees go weak. Had I been standing Id have another hefty knot on my head. The bundled figure pulls me bodily out of the bunk and through the hatch. By the time I get my feet under me, we are turning, down one deck, turning an ankle, through a bulkhead and a firewall, over a catwalk, down a couple steps, moving forward I think, across another catwalk, through a bulkead. I can see my breath. My captor undogs a hatch labeled Authorized Personnel Only and shoves me through with a foot. I catch a glimpse of shining white spats.
But, I dont have clearance! I shout, turning to face the hatch as it slams in my face.
Panic chants at the edge of my thoughts. It occurs to me that really, Im in shock. Total shock. Nothing is reaching me. Not fear, not panic, not conscious, coherent thought. Focus. Focus. I bite my mouth trying desperately to keep hold of the situation. This room. Odd. Not gray. And tanks, lots of tanks. It is filled, floor to ceiling, wall to wall with tanks of liquid helium. Well, that explains the temperature. I shiver and rub my arms, looking around at the tanks.
I begin to move through the area, looking down one narrow aisle of tanks then another. Another. And another, when he appears. Professor Pflanzer. He is grinning.
Ah . I expected more fire out of you. Where is that famous Irish blood? he croons, steam pouring from his mouth. I am reminded of the vapor snakes and Ankurs dummies.
Kovalev ? I toss back weakly.
Not your father, his eyes begin to glow white, McClendon, the tips of his fingers begin to glow, Your mother. He takes a deep breath and exhales in my direction.
I think of the grade school lunches again. Unbelievable.
Pflanzer advances, swarmed in writhing fog tentacles. I back away slowly. Theres a valve just there. No dont look at it. Easy easy Dont let on. Pretend to freeze.
Pflanzer moves in Now!
I reach up and yank the valve. It sticks. Damnit, damnit! I lift myself off the ground hauling on the valve open for all Im worth until I hear a satisfying spray. My hand aches suddenly. Burns, vanishes, aches hurts. I am running. Pflanzer screams as the jet catches him and I get one good look at him before I take a header into another tank. His face reflects in the cloud of breath above him. I have time enough to think it very strange indeed that his reflection wasnt inverted like it should have been before the darkness comes.
Day 3 Laxmipujan
I wake even more uncomfortable than before. My hand is... frozen. Im not yet sure just what that means, but it wont be good. I roll onto my side as a great explosion rocks the floor. Another not good thing. Staggering to my feet, I catch glimpse of the Professors body, or whats left of it. It is broken in chunks across the floor. Gruesome. I am worried about my hand. Another explosion. I barely keep my feet. The tanks groan under the strain of the detonations. Ive got to get out of here. I run to the hatch and desperately feel all around it. Got to open from this side somehow. I hear the rolling of the wheel on the other side and spring out of the way just in time to miss the door. A cloud of bitter smoke, or gas agh! my eyes! Backing away, choking and coughing. Just my luck. The thought is no sooner through my head when I see the gun barrel, helmet and face of a soldier steps through the hatch. His face is screwed up against the reek of the gas. Clearly, hes able to withstand it, but that doesnt make it smell any better. (mindifismoke.jpg) Convulsed with coughing I lean over, raw throated and red-eyed.
Who is all I manage to rasp before I fall to the ground.
Before I can drop and pass clean out again the soldier catches my arm and leans in as another explosion hits, This way, he shouts into my ear. He is pointing, motioning his buddies through the hatch. I stop coughing long enough to unbend and cough in his face. He takes that as a sign that Im okay and were off. He prods the fog-pouring chunks of Pflanzer.
Nasty business, he shouts.
I flinch, there wasnt much noise to cover his shouting this time. We all make our way aft, through offices or lab space or something when I see familiar papers on work bench. I dig my heels into the deck and with my good hand and grab a fistful of papers. Exactly what I thought my research. What in the world is it doing here?
Day 4 - Bali Pratipada
We hustle aft and I notice that the floor is starting to cant. Quite a bit. I take that to mean that the explosions did the trick. Trying vainly to see through teary eyes just what part of my research this is, I realize the soldiers are really starting to work to drag me along. I should carry myself. Risking cuts, I tuck the paper into my waistband and start pulling myself along the more and more treacherous floor. We reach the deck. Bitter wind sends spray arcing into the air and I am dazzled by sunlight and sea air. And cold. The ship stretches above and below us. The water is clear. The soldiers rally and split into two groups as two helicopters make an approach. They are hovering near. Searing pain as one of the soldiers grabs my hand. He realizes his mistake and throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Copious rope burn and bruisings later I am snugged into the back of the helicopter. I look down only once and see the horror of all that steel sinking beneath the waves. (upended.jpg) I hope no one is alive down there. No one alive to die that terrible death.
When I realize that I am finally safe a wave of emotion sweeps me. I didnt think there were tears left. I cry myself to sleep in the back of the helicopter. A phrase comes to me as we leave the sinking ship, something Ankur had said.
Let suffering go and let Balis kingdom come.
And another.
Im hungry, I want a sandwich.
Day 5 Bhaubij
Ankurs funeral is today, but I will not be there, Im still in the hospital. My left hand is gone. And my dear friend.
Ankur tried to warn me about Pflanzer. About the experiments. Mixed in with the research I had taken from Pflanzers ship was the hardcopy of a private email from the head of company research and development to a Mr. P. Pflanzer. It explained in no little detail solutions and suggestions for maintaining the vitality of a certain crop of monstrous peanuts he had fostered. Monstrous peanuts with shining white spats. Spats, tophats, canes and monocles. I tear into my PB & J and think dire thoughts. At least I finally got my sandwich.
On a beach not far from the last reported location of an unnamed, unknown ship, an oddly shaped figure in a decidedly strange wetsuit strolls into the water. (nut.jpg) He steps lively on skinny legs as the waters close over his head.

sparky vs. piratecat
Strangely enough both stories were spooky and featured more than natural puppets, and oth used the smokytrail on the helium picture as a spell-like effect. Great stuff.
Allthough I laughed load on the last few lines of Sparky's story. My vote goes to Piratecat
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that this was a tough decision in many
respects. Both of the authors displayed a strong response and association
with the pictures, and constructed their tales closely and ably about them.
Both have demonstrated apt use of the short story.
Sparky: Good reference to Diwali. Feels very appropriate to me as a number
of close friends are currently celebrating. I also like your sentence
structure - short, sharp and to the point. A times a truly horrifying tale.
Your story really maked me think.
Piratecat: Detective stories have always been a favourite staple of mine.
They are fun to write, and easy to read. The double cross at the end was
very nicely handled. D20 modern touches, of magic and possession, are
always a good bet.
What a fix.
My vote goes to Piratecat.
i was so disappointed when i thought the first round may give us our best match-up, but i am pleasantly surprised at being wrong.
sparky- i tend to key in on creative use of pictures, and man-o-man did you hit that nail. mixing in cultural attributes that were foreign to me, freezing hands, and paper cuts! what hero worries about paper cuts? an interesting one. and i haven't even touched on the self referencing "nut." brilliant and spooky and unpredictable and interesting.
piratecat- gumshoe sorcerer. very good. some great lines here and a great feel for mixing 2 genres. one criticism i have stated in previous judgements, i don't like it when someone uses one of the pictures as a picture in their story. all around a great tale though.
vote- both are great tales, with pic as pic reference for p-kkitty and the freaky nut reference at the end of sparky i have to choose sparky.
DECISION- 2-1 for piratecat.
see you in the finals kids!
i will ask for mythago vs piratecat check-in in the morning, weigh ins have been cancelled, but we will stil be checking for foriegn objects.

*woof* I can exhale. Sparky, your story was fantastic; the constant references to peanuts was subtle and consistent, slipping under my radar until the last. Nicely done, and thank you!
The final matchup is a little ironic; Mythago is the GM for Sialia, one of my former players who now lives in San Francisco. We're tied together in a lot of ways. Judges, you have to try and separate us! Or maybe we can use custody of Sialia as the prize. Hmmmm....
Clay, I am leaving Monday for Pittsburgh on business and will have no internet access until Wednesday night. If you post these Sunday night late or Monday morning early (which might be a problem for the west coast Mythago?), I can work on my entry while traveling and post when I get back. If not, though, I'm out of touch for a few days.

Wow, guys, amazing stories! And Sparky, you done hurt my haid.
You SO do not want to go there.Originally Posted by alsih2o
Late Sunday/early Monday is fine by me. If Piratecat is offline I will have much opportunity to smack talk behind his back.

Curtiss, Allegra Clegg, Barry Kemp, Charles Newirth, Devorah Moos-Hankin, Marsha Garces Williams, Marvin Minoff, Steve Oedekerk, Tom Shadyac Screenwriter: Maureen Mylander, Patch Adams, Steve Oedekerk Film Description: The fact-based story of an unconventional physician who attempted to heal patients with laughter, based on his own book and mixing equal doses of scatological humor and pathos. Robin Williams stars as Hunter Adams, a troubled young man who commits himself to a mental institution in the late 1960s. His experiences there convince Adams to become a doctor, and he enrolls in medical school, where he is appalled at the cold, clinical professionalism that alienates patients from their caregivers. Determined to provide emotional and spiritual relief as well as medicine, Adams clowns around for his patients, getting to know them personally. Although his efforts seem to work wonders and the hospital nursing staff is grateful for the levity Adams provides, his methods alienate his uptight roommate Mitch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) as well as the staff and faculty of his school. Adams perseveres, however, even starting his own low-cost rural clinic called the Gesundheit Institute, and wooing a pretty fellow student, Carin (Monica Potter). Tragedy strikes, and Adams' career is put in jeopardy, forcing him to defend his style and philosophy before a board of jurists determined to bar him from practicing medicine. Patch Adams (1998) was produced by former M*A*S*H (1972-83) star Mike Farrell, who met the real-life Adams when the offbeat doctor served as an advisor to the actor's popular TV series. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi patch adams, patch adams clip, patch adams part 1, patch adams movie, robin williams, philip seymour hoffman, daniel london, josef sommer, bob gunton, michael jeter, irma p hall, harve presnell, frances lee mccain, harold gould, diploma videos, graduation cap videos, graduation robe videos, biographies, comedy, medical dramas, movie clips, movieclipsdotcom, #AMG:V+++174233, /m/076689, /m/05dbyt, /m/02qgqt, /m/01d0b1, /m/03grhv8, /m/03llcf, /m/02ph2wq, /m/0dzf_, /m/0f4b3s, /m/0gnw1s

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Police in South Portland are investigating after a malfunctioning ATM at a local bank spit out $37,000 in cash to man who requested just $140.
Police tell WGME-TV (http://bit.ly/1dXCy0i ) that they responded to the TD Bank branch at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday after getting a call from a woman who said a man was spending an unusual amount of time at the ATM she was waiting to use.
Responding officers found the man stuffing cash into a shopping bag.
The money was returned to the bank, and bank officials said they don't want to press charges. But police continue to investigate. The identity of the man wasn't released because he has not been charged.
A bank official described the problem as a "code error" and said so customer accounts were affected.

Dojo's Industrial-Strength Grid Widget
Although the DataGrid's selection property provides useful methods, such as getSelection, that facilitate accessing dojo.data items that back the interface, the DataGrid itself offers myriad methods of its own that provide more direct and finely grained access to the grid and the data that backs it. Here's a quick synopsis of just a few common ones:
getItem(/*Integer*/ idx): returns a dojo.data item reflected in the row index.
setQuery(/*Object*/ query, /*Object*/ queryOptions): filters the data in the table by executing the query and query options against the store that backs the grid.
setStore(/*Object*/ store, /*Object*/ query, /*Object*/ queryOptions): disposes of references to the existing store and attaches a new one, optionally passing in a query and query options for filtering.
onRowClick(/*Event*/ evt): called when a cell is clicked; evt is a decorated W3C Event object.
onCellClick(/*Event*/ evt): called when a cell is clicked; evt is a decorated W3C Event object.
onCellFocus(/*Object*/ cell, /*Integer*/ rowIdx): called when a cell receives focus.
setStructure(/*Object|Array*/ structure): provides a row of changing the grid's layout after it is initially rendered.
scrollToRow(/*Index*/ idx): scrolls the grid to the row index.
setSortInfo(/*Object*/ obj): called to set sorting criteria.
sort(): sorts the grid according to the information supplied by setSortInfo.
columnReordering: a property that allows for drag-and-drop column reordering on the grid.
As usual, once the API has been unearthed, the implementation details of putting the grid to work are usually straightforward enough. Here are a few examples to get the wheels turning:
/* Filter the grid such that only row items having * a name that starts with the letter B appear */ dijit.byId("gridNode").setQuery({name : "B*"}); /* Get the item reflected in row 23 */ dijit.byId("gridNode").getItem(23); dijit.byId("gridNode").onRowClick = function(evt) { /* Display interesting parts of the decorated Event Object */ console.log("onRowClick: cell", evt.cell); console.log("onRowClick: cellIndex", evt.cellIndex); console.log("onRowClick: row", evt.row); console.log("onRowClick: rowIndex", evt.rowIndex); console.log("onRowClick: grid", evt.grid); };
Given that a grid widget often is nothing more than a visual interface into a data store, it won't be long before you'll not only want to view the data in the store, but also edit it and persist it back to the server. A great testament to the flexibility of Dojo's data APIs is how the grid's architecture builds directly upon the Write and Notification APIs in particular to make this as easy as it should be—meaning, so long as your store implements Read, Identity, Write and Notification, a grid that you attach to it is capable of providing editable cells that "just work". In other words, the reason you can attach a stock component like an ItemFileWriteStore to the DataGrid and get editable data isn't because of specialized logic that binds the two together, but simply because the ItemFileWriteStore implements the full spectrum of dojo.data APIs. Although the ItemFileReadStore is used for pedagogical purposes, numerous highly useful store implementations are included as part of the dojox.data module.
The necessary changes to the minimal example we have been working with in the previous Listings are surprisingly simple; just change the store to an implementation that supports the Write and Notification APIs and provide a couple extra attributes in the markup for any columns that should be editable. The dojox.grid.cells module provides lightweight wrappers around many common form widgets from Dijit, so let's take a look at a simple change that would make the Label column editable by introducing a select box:

 ID	 Label

As you might imagine, the DataGrid's custom event handlers, such as onFocus, onBlur, onApplyEdit, onCancelEdit and so on, become increasingly useful for an editable interface. As always, you also may attach event handlers to the store that backs the grid if handling changes at the data level seems more appropriate for your application than tracking UI-related events. Figure 4 shows the editable grid.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

DeGale: With or Without a Groves Rematch, I'll Succeed
James DeGale insists his world title dream is still alive regardless of whether George Groves agrees to a rematch following Saturday's contentious majority-decision defeat. The outspoken 2008 Olympic champion was beaten for the second time by his former amateur stablemate following Groves' win in the unpaid ranks.
Groves' hand was raised again at the O2 Arena, with bitter rival DeGale left questioning judges' decisions for a second time. On this occasion it was certainly tight, one judge scoring it even and two choosing Groves by a single point, and it could easily have gone the other way.
"To me it feels like I didn't lose properly. It feels like he's nicked the title off me," DeGale said. "Hopefully we can get the rematch. I don't know. But that's what I want, straight away. He can't be too proud of that win - he nicked it. I'm going to move on to bigger and better things, with or without him."
"i didnt really feel like he won" cunt. it was the judges fault. cunt. im moving on to bigger and better things. cunt. if it were him and georgey groves, he would have to win three fights in a row…Comment by *OG Wenger* on 05-23-2011
Anybody can win a world title nowadays, especially with Frank Warren backing you. He got Kahn a world title only 2-3 fights after he got ktfo by Prescott. Cleverly is now full champion aswell without fighting anybody of note.Comment by SpitBalla on 05-23-2011
Well Dirk is definitely right that Groves did not school DeGale. I think DeGale was getting frustrated by Groves ONLY countering. I still think DeGale is better than Groves, but he did lose, no matter bow close. I can't wait…Comment by TaurusJ27 on 05-23-2011
I want a rematch that was a good fight.Comment by junior gong on 05-23-2011
[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;10588852]Again you are talkin about what he said. Groves also said he'd knock him out in 4 rounds. Hes now saying he "schooled" him. Neither are true. Groves didnt back up anything. Except his scared body all night.[/QUOTE]…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (36)

Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the papaya. Cut the fruit in half, then spoon out and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the flesh.
Blend the papaya with the orange juice, lime juice, Truvia and agave nectar for several minutes, until the mixture is smooth. Add the mint and pulse several times to combine, leaving visible pieces.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, snap on the tops, and freeze for at least 6 hours. No popsicle molds? Try using small plastic containers from yogurt or pudding cups. Cut a slit through each lid just big enough to fit a popsicle stick. Pour the popsicle mixture into the containers, cover with the lids, and freeze until the mixture is slushy enough to hold the stick upright. Push the sticks through the slits in the lids and continue to freeze until the popsicles are frozen solid.
To serve: Pull the popsicle from the mold with the handle attached. If the popsicle is stubborn, briefly submerge the mold in warm water, then try again.

Everglades National Park ATTRACTIONS See all
Big Cypress National Preserve
With twelve campgrounds, some of the area's best hikes and a long-established hunting scene (white-tailed deer, hogs and turkeys are abundant), Big Cypress provides plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors. The southern terminus of the Florida National Scenic Trail is located in Big Cypress, which is ideal for hiking in the winter months.
For the more intrepid hiker, trekking through Big Cypress is pleasant year-round; cypress country is a bit more welcoming to hikers than the dense sawgrass prairies that you'll find in the Everglades. Rangers often lead hikes in the dry winter months, as well as canoe trips and bicycle tours. Other tours include swamp buggy tours, pole boat tours and backcountry fishing.

Answers.com is no longer just a Q&A hub. The company now operates as a cloud-based platform that sells its Q&A service to other sites — and it just acquired customer experience analytics firm ForeSee to flesh out its software offerings.
The acquisition was financed through debt and equity funding rounds in Answers Corp. and AFCV Holdings, Answers' parent company. Answers.com reportedly raised $300 million in new funding and shelled out more than $200 million for ForeSee, according to TechCrunch, marking its third acquisition this year.
ForeSee's analytics solution enables businesses to better track, understand, and even predict their customers' behavior. And now it'll also help them measure question and answer engagement, naturally.
"Our recent acquisitions of Webcollage and Easy2 have strengthened our industry leadership, and ForeSee further augments the value we can deliver to our clients," said David Karandish, CEO of Answers, in a statement.
ForeSee's customers include roughly half the Fortune 100, top Internet retailers, major banks, and government agencies. The company raised around $20 million in funding prior to the acquisition.
And as for Answers, its subscriptions now account for about half its revenue, which is good news for the once-troubled company. It once operated as a public company, but AFCV Holdings (a Summit Partners portfolio company) acquired Answers for $127 million in Feb. 2011, taking the company private and altering its strategy to a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model. Answers had roughly $160 million in sales for 2013.
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey and Silicon Valley Bank led the debt financing transaction in Answers Corp., while Summit Partners, TA Associates, and AFCV founders and management participated in AFCV Holding's equity round.

Pati's Place Updated February 12, 2016
Hello everyone. Well, it's been a long time since I have updated my web page. I'm sure most of you have heard that I lost my husband, John, on September 10, 2014. It's taken me a long time to get back to bead making but I have been back on the torch for a few months.
As of late I have been making jewelry and Lampwork headpins and have been selling on Etsy. Here are the latest.
I seemed to forget how to download recent pictures. You can see new things on etsy or my business Facebook page which is.
Below are 3 cabochons that I had made into pendants: Thanks Athena!!
Work earlier this year below:
And....This is an aquarium necklace I made last week.
Updated January 12, 2012
OK, here's the deal. I have really been out of the loop for the past 2 years. Well, actually I have worked the same amount of hours but took 2 years off from making my landscape scenes. They are really time consuming and I have to be in that zone where I forget time, etc. I think I got to a place where I wasn't very inspired and decided to go a different route so Johnny and I collaborated and we made these great sets that were basically starter necklaces that just needed finishing. We did really great for those 2 years. Last month I was really bored with that so I decided to revisit making scenes. The first few were horrible and I thought I lost it but kept making them, mostly cabochans. Not only did I get my groove back, but I also am right back into that zone. I'm now making new scenes, old scenes, and I am really enjoying my time at the torch. So, my muse is with me now and I'm back in the loop.
Here are some pictures of new stuff: This was a cabochon that I made: The second picture I changed the design a bit and added a bezel of goldstone.
The following scenes are newly made. They are very detailed and have lots of depth. It is difficult to see the depth in the pictures but it's there.
I have also made lots of aquariums and other stuff. Hopefully I will keep updating my site. Or, you can see my stuff on Facebook... I have 2 sites, one is Pati Walton and the other is Pati Walton and John Olson.
I also have a teaching gig in the UK in April. I will be teaching a 1 day aquarium class at the UK Flame Off. I will also be demonstrating there.
Hope to keep in touch with you all.
Just a note to say that Johnny and I are now showing our beads on ETSY. The link to get there is:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/patiwalton . I haven't figured out how to add it to the tabs on the side.
Aquarium Set.
I have been making more canes lately. I just finished a new cane called a Clown Triggerfish. I made a pendant using the cane and here is a picture.
I like the pendant but I have actually started making a new cane of the same fish. If I finish it soon, I will post pictures.
Have a great week!
I have been busy making new Murrine. I stopped making them for about a year and now I'm in full swing. Here are pictures of the Seahorse and the new clownfish murrine.
I also just had a new changeable bezel that I had made and here is the finished product. The cabochon is removeable.
Take care, Pati

Sandra McCollum Toole, of Athens, passed away on July 18, 2013, after an extended illness.
Sandra was born on August 5, 1946, in Bowling Green, Ky., the second daughter of Chalmers Fleming McCollum, of Wrens, Ga., and Dorothy Ellis McCollum, of Bowling Green. She spent her school days from first grade onward in Eatonton, and graduated from Putnam County High School, where her mother taught English and her father was the principal, in the vaunted class of 1964.
Sandra entered the
University of Georgia
in the summer of 1964 on a debate scholarship, and graduated in three years with an A.B. degree in English and a minor in education. She received a number of academic awards, including Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi. She was an Alpha Chi Omega, and served on the Panhellenic Council.
It was at the University of Georgia that Sandra met and married her husband of 46 years, Richard Larry Toole, of Millen. After Larry graduated, the couple moved to Millen, where they resided for the next 27 years and raised two daughters: Tamara and Shana. In 1996, the Tooles relocated to Athens, where their journey together began.
Sandra loved to make the yard of every home they lived in a garden spot, something which gave her great joy. She loved working and tending her plants and flowers. She also enjoyed taking excursions with her closest friends, something she had been unable to do in the recent past. She found much pleasure in reading, and she loved her white collie dog, her constant companion. Sandra taught school for brief periods of time intermittently, but her main job and focus in life was taking care of her family, which she loved dearly.
She is survived by her husband, Richard Larry Toole; daughters, Tamara Toole (David) Michaux and Shana Toole McClellan, both of Athens; grandsons who were the light of her life, Cullen McClellan and Madison McClellan; sister, Barbara McCollum Kennedy, of Newnan; and nephews, David (Paige) Kennedy, of Bogart, and Scott (Lisa) Kennedy, of Tucker.
The family will receive friends 4-6 p.m. Sunday, July 21, at Lord & Stephens Funeral Home West.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, July 22, at the chapel of Lord & Stephens West, with Dr. Jon Appleton officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Sandra's memory to the Athens Area Humane Society or the First Baptist Church of Athens.
Lord & Stephens Funeral Home West, Bogart, is in charge of the arrangements.

AFSC-SENE became a full AFSC program in 2003 after a couple of years of organizing that was part of AFSC's responce to the attacks on September 11, 2001. Join us in celebrating the work of those years - the marches and vigils, the street theater, the learning, the building of community. We will gather over a lovely buffet at 6:00pm. Take a few minutes from eating to add to the timeline. The Raging Grannies will call us to a program of music, spoken word and a fun, interactive retrospective on the last 12 years.

for next rally before divy, have to admit $24+ would be better.
I doubled down at 25.74 setting my avg share price to 24.74.
That is a wise choice. I will get back in at 25 with 25 to 50 % of total holdings and hope to double down @ 24. I don't think we will see 24, in the short term, unless there are some macro disturbances. But we can be hopeful! This stock has a great year ahead with no factory maintenance planned. As expected this years factory maintenance hit Q4 dividend
ill buy back at 24.50
Sentiment: Sell
i hope you got in at 24.50 like you planned. Yesterday may be the only chance you had. We're trending upward from here
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Keoo, are you taking into account the announcement of the plant expansion in a few weeks?

text: 000 FXUS65 KPUB 221731 AFDPUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1131 AM MDT MON AUG 22 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 343 AM MDT Mon Aug 22 2016 Current water vapor imagery and upper air analysis had weak generally southerly flow aloft across the state, with upper ridging in place across the Desert SW through the Southern High Plains as an upper trough is digging across the Pac NW Coast at this time. Water vapor is also indicating an upper level disturbance embedded within the ridge across central Arizona with mid and upper level monsoonal moisture and another minor disturbance across central New Mexico slowly lifting north at this time. 00Z NCEP charts indicated PWATS at GJT and DEN between 0.40 and 0.55 inches (69 and 92 percent of normal) with PWATS between 0.70 and 0.90 inches from FGZ to ABQ. Today and tonight...Weak southerly flow aloft to continue across the area through the day, with flow becoming more southwest and increasing slightly into tonight, as Pac NW trough continues to dig into the Northern Great Basin. With available moisture continuing to increase across the area, along with the minor embedded disturbances expected to move into southern and western portions of the area through late morning and afternoon, there should be earlier development and better coverage of showers and thunderstorms over and near the higher terrain today, with the best coverage across the southern Mts and areas along and west of the ContDvd. Further east, lee troughing progged to continue across the eastern plains, with latest model data, especially higher res HRRR and RAP, indicating dew pts across the I-25 corridor mixing out into the 30s, especially north of Hwy50, through the afternoon, with breezy southerly low level winds across the far se plains keeping dew pts in the 50s. With that said, could see limited convection across the I-25 corridor today, though with convective temps in the mid to upper 80s being reached into the afternoon, could see a few storms firing across the far se plains. Locally heavy rainfall remains the main concern from storms today, with localized flash flooding possible, especially across the area burn scars. Temperatures today to be around seasonal averages once again, with temps at or slightly warmer than yesterday expected across the eastern plains, and at or slightly cooler than yesterday across the higher terrain. Should see any convection across the plains waning through the evening hours, with showers and a few storms possibly continuing into the overnight hours across the western half of the area, as the Pac NW trough continues to translate east. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 343 AM MDT Mon Aug 22 2016 Weak upper trough over the southwestern U.S. begins to shift toward the srn Rockies Tue, while strong upper low moves eastward across the Canadian prairies. Plentiful mid level moisture will remain in place over the mountains and with strengthening dynamic lift spreading across the area, another round of sct to nmrs tsra will develop Tue afternoon/evening, with some pockets of heavy rainfall possible over central/swrn mt zones. Over the eastern mountains and plains, pre-frontal surface trough will lie across the area early Tue, before cold front drops south through the plains Tue afternoon/evening. Air mass east of the mts looks fairly dry Tue, which will limit convective chances somewhat during the day, with better rainfall chances Tue evening and overnight as mid level flow turns weak ely and mountain storms drift eastward toward the I25 corridor. Front ends up near the NM border Wed, with gradually strengthening upslope flow in place across most of the ern mts and plains. Best chance for convection Wed afternoon/evening looks to be over the eastern mts, as higher terrain farther west dries somewhat under w-nwly flow, while eastern plains stay too cool/stable, at least through the daytime hours. As low level warm advection pattern develops Wed evening, storms may spread out onto the plains, especially south of the Arkansas River closer to the old frontal boundary. Diffuse upper trough then redevelops over the western U.S. from Thu into the weekend, and with mid level flow turning back to the southwest, at least a modest influx of moisture looks likely, which will lead to an increased chance of tsra over most higher terrain from Thu afternoon into at least Sun. Plains look moist enough to see storms Thu/Fri, before lee surface trough and drier air begin to limit convective chances over the weekend. Temps will peak on Tue with much cooler air across the region Wed/Thu, then a slow warming trend develops from Fri into the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1131 AM MDT Mon Aug 22 2016 VFR conditions are expected during the next 24 hours over the KCOS and KPUB taf sites with afternoon and evening storms projected to remain primarily over higher terrain locations. KALS should experience a higher potential of storms moving across the terminal this afternoon and evening, with brief MVFR conditions and gusty winds anticipated if storms directly impact the TAF site. && .PUB Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Publisher's Description
Can she solve the crime before they uncover her true identity? Jobless and down to her last dime, Ellie Moore hears about a position with the Pinkerton Detective Agency and believes it's the perfect chance to put her acting skills and costumes to use. Reluctantly, the agency agrees to give her one assignment, one chance to prove herself. Disguised as Lavinia Stewart, a middle-aged widow, Ellie travels to Arizona to begin her investigation. When the need arises, she also transforms into the dazzling Jessie Monroe, whose vivacious personality encourages people to talk. Mine owner Steve Pierce is going to lose his business if he can't figure out who's stealing his silver shipments. In his wildest dreams, he never expected to receive help from a gray-haired widow...or to fall in love with her beautiful niece. Then the thieves come after Lavinia and Jessie. Ellie isn't safe no matter which character she plays! Should she give up and reveal her true identity? What will Steven do when he realizes the woman he's falling in love with doesn't really exist? Set in 1880s Arizona, Love in Disguise blends romance, humor, and mystery for a can't-stop-listening experience.

My DS is 9 weeks (4weeks adjusted) and I wonder if he is sleeping too much. I know every baby is different. The longest he has slept through the night is about 4 1/2 hours. He does sleep between feeds throughout the day. We fed him every 3 hours around the clock for the first month but the doc said we could ease up on the times and let him tell us when he was hungry. Now, we sometimes have to wake him to eat. I am just wondering if we should try to keep him awake more during the day so he sleeps at night, or do we just let him sleep when he wants and stay up when he wants? Feeding through the night kinda stinks for us but if he needs it, we are fine with it. Just don't know if we should try to change this or if he needs it still.
Sleeping too much???
Comments (4)
Yes, I would suggest you keep him awake more during the day, since he is already one month past due date! And, yes, I would move on to cue-based feeding.
My son is presently 5 weeks adjusted, and we switched to cue-based feeding at due date. We're also starting to keep up our LO during the day with activities and such. He does take two naps -- 10:00am - 1pm and 4:00pm - 7:00 pm. Then he is up until 10pm when he goes down for the night. The only time I will wake him up to feed around 12:30AM-1AM just because it is easier that way for me. If I do not do it, he will wake up twice during the night. If I feed him after midnight, he will wake up at around 4 or 5am. And again at 7-8 am, after which he stays up.
From birth I have relied on You;�You brought me forth from my mother's womb.�I will ever praise You.�Psalm 71
I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Pantley's books (the 'no-cry' sleep solution is one of them). I've pasted an excerpt from that book below. The only shift we did with our LO's naps after reading the book was not to let her nap more than 3 hours at a time during the day. (We changed how we did a lot of other things....but in regard to naps, that's the change we made). We never tried to keep her awake so she would sleep more at night though. Sleep begets sleep, and since your LO is only a month old (neurologically) he's still doing a lot of growing. (Growth hormone gets secreted during sleep). We did cue based feeding as soon as we came home from the NICU and she kept herself on the NICU schedule. She changed things up around 5-7 weeks adjusted and starting taking higher volume bottles, and less of them, during the day and rarely asking for food at night. The preemie thing makes the newborn phase last a really LONG time...but it will get better very soon! Hang in there!!!

^^Miranda^^ (born still @ 27.2 wks 9/07 due to IUGR)
Do you weigh him on a weekly basis? As long as he is gaining proper weight then enjoy him sleeping a lot! I would try to keep him up during the day and see if that doesn't make him cranky. We had a lot of feeding issues and Castalia was still on a feeding tube up until her due date so it took her longer than most to actually ask for food, for most babies I would go with a cue-based feeding schedule...
MiracleAngel1 why did you get rid of your picture, it was a nice one of you two!!!

Funny you ask that, my LO was 5.5 weeks early as well and came home at 7.5 weeks (so only 2 weeks adjusted) and they never told us to wake him. And he had a feeding tube up until about 5 days before we left. They never mentioned it but had been doing every 3 hours in the NICU so that's what I stayed with...for like 3 nights. Then everyone kept saying STOP WAKING THAT BABY...so we did, and he gained weight just fine. We took him off the high calorie stuff after a week (at my pressure) and just kept monitoring his weight. He did fine so I think it worked for us. Now having said that, everyone's situation is different of course, definitely talk it out with your pedi.

News 12 This Morning / Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- As Chief Patrick Clayton takes inventory of confiscated weapons from students, it's hard to tell which guns are fake and which guns are real.
"That's what we really fear -- that there will be an accidental discharge. Some child will be seriously hurt or worse," said Chief Clayton. "We had a kid a couple of years ago, an 11-year-old who brought a .357 magnum loaded to school. He just wanted to show his classmates."
It's a worry parents like Elizabeth Roswich have with the recent mass shootings and local gun violence.
Roswich, a mother of two middle school students, explained, "Of course it concerns me as a parent, but I think it starts at home. You have to sit at home talk to your kids about gun safety."
Clayton added, "I think everybody with of some of the shooting situations you've had in the country, it's on the forefront of a lot of people's mind."
In the past three years, the numbers from the Richmond County School Board show safety officers confiscating fewer weapons:
-2009-2010 school year: 5
-2010-2011 school year: 7
-2011-2012 school year: 3
This means 15 guns in total over a three-year period. Most of them were on school grounds for petty reasons.
"They were trying to impress their peers trying to look cool," Clayton said. "They just wanted to show a weapon. The number is very low in reality, but any amount is too much."
Fortunately, the school district hasn't experienced a serious threat.
"We haven't had those kinds of things here, thank God," Clayton said.
Officers still prepare for the worst at the beginning of the school year.
"Two weeks ago we trained at four different high schools with the Richmond County Sheriff's Department in an active shooting to deal with these situations," Clayton added.
Parents like Roswich take their own precautions.
"My kids have all had gun safety with their granddad, who is an avid hunter," she said. "They know guns are never a toy."
While there are cameras surrounding the school and people patrolling the halls, Clayton wants parents monitor what their children are putting in their book bags at home, so guns, real or fake, don't end up at school.

Hi there, I intend my plugin to add a piece of code to the end a post only if it's in the single-post page. Not in the home page where a list of posts appear. Using 'the_content' filter, adds the code to the end of the post wherever the post is shown. How do I achieve that ?
Thanks a lot for your time.

Skill Level Appropriate for all
Throughout this course we've been working with a raw file, a DNG format file. And we've been adding global and local adjustments to that raw file. Now that we're done, you may be wondering, well, how do I get a copy of that raw file in a format that I can use, maybe you want to send a copy out for printing and you need a TIFF format file or maybe you want to put a copy online, and so you needed JPEG format file, and maybe you need those files to be a certain size or have a certain name. For any or all of those purposes, you'll need a copy of the suggested master raw file to be exported from Lightroom, and here's how you can do that.
Here in need Develop module, I'll go up to the File menu and I'll choose Export. That opens the large Export dialog box, and here I will just work my way down through the options starting with the Export To option. I'd like to export a copy of this file to my hard drive, so I will choose Hard Drive here. Here, I'll choose a more specific destination, setting export to Specific Folder clicking Choose, and maybe I'll choose to export to my Desktop. I can have Lightroom create a subfolder on my desktop to contain this file, maybe I'll call this processed.
And I can have Lightroom automatically add the exported copy of the file to my catalog. This menu is asking what to do if there already is a file with the same name in the same location, that's probably not going to be a problem. Here I can choose to Rename the file; if I check Rename, and then look at this menu there're all kinds of renaming algorithms that I can choose from or I could go to Edit and create my own algorithm. If I leave this unchecked then Lightroom will take the prefix of the name from the raw file and just add the appropriate suffix for this copy of the file.
I'll scroll down and in the File Settings area I'll go to the Image Format menu and I'll choose the format that I need from among these choices: JPEG; PSD, which is the Photoshop format; TIFF, which is a format that you may need if you're sending a photo out for commercial printing; or the DNG format; or the Original format. I'll go with the JPEG format, and over here I can set the Quality. Maybe I'll put it at about 70, the higher the quality of the larger the file will be.
Here I'll choose the Color Space. Because I'm creating a copy of this file for use online, I'll the Color Space set to sRGB. If I would going to be printing this file, I would change it to a wider color space probably ProPhoto RGB, which is the widest possible Color Space, but I'll leave this set to sRGB for now. Here, I can set the Size of the image. So if I'm going to be putting this file online then I'll need it to be smaller than the original raw file. I'll check Resize to Fit and if I leave this menu set to Width & Height, I can specify the dimensions of a box that describes the largest dimensions of the image.
So for example, if I sent this to 600 pixels wide and 400 pixels tall, then neither the width nor the height would exceed these dimensions. But I wouldn't necessarily get a 600 x 400 pixel file, that depends on the proportions of the original. When I'm creating a copy for the web it really doesn't matter what the resolution is, because resolution means the number of pixels per inch or really per printed inch, so I'll leave that at its defaults. And there's no danger of enlarging the file in this process so I won't bother checking Don't Enlarge.
Down here I can set my final Output Sharpening by clicking Sharpen For and choosing from this menu Screen because I'm preparing a copy for online viewing and I'll leave the Amount set the Standard. Now you remember that we've already sharpened the file originally in the Detail panel here in Lightroom, that was our initial capture sharpening. Then we did some creative sharpening with the Adjustment Brush tool. Now we're going to do our final sharpening. All of the sharpening events are cumulative. In the Metadata section, I can choose how much and what metadata I want to have included in the exported copy of the file.
I'll go with copyright only, and then I'll scroll down. I'm not going to add Watermark, a Watermark is text or a graphic that appears on the face of the image. And down here I can choose what I want Lightroom to do after it finishes exporting this file. I'll ask it to show me the exported file in the Finder. If I want to save these settings for use on another image I'll go over here and click Add. I'll these my online jpeg settings, and I'll click Create.
That gives me preset consisting of all the options that I chose here, so next time I want to use these options I just have to open this dialog box and choose this user preset. Finally I'll click Export, and here at the top of Lightroom, I get a progress bar that's telling me how the export is going. When it's done Lightroom opens the folder that it created and into which it saved this JPEG copy of the file. Now let's go back into the Lightroom Library and see what's there. Here in my Lightroom Library you can see in the Folders panel that in addition to the exercise files, which contain the raw file we've been working on in the start folder, there is also a processed folder. That new processed folder has been automatically included in my Lightroom catalog, and it contains this image.
If I hover over this image, you can see that this is the JPEG copy of the file that was just exported from Lightroom and automatically included in my Lightroom catalog because I checked Add to Catalog in the Export dialog box. This JPEG copy includes all of the global and local adjustments that we added to the original raw file, the master file from which this exported copy was created. That raw file is still here in my catalog and I can always go back to it and tweak my settings or add more. Or I could export other copies from that edited raw file, perhaps in other formats with other names or at other sizes for other purposes.

Chart looks pretty good but is real estate really coming back anytime soon?
pays a little over 5 cents per share, per quarter. next one is june 30th, I just got back in at 3.65, made money once. Its hard to judge if its another trade or an investment at this point. My goal is to get the june 30th dividend, hopefully price is over 5 or 6 by then. Maybe by then it will be around 200 day MA, wich will create good volitialy. It would be nice if they raised the dividend a little. Remember right now its a traders market, not and investing market. Good luck.
Anyone know? I can't find out anywhere
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=URE&a=01&b=2&c=2007&d=05&e=5&f=2009&g=vIf the link works or just click "history"Yield is calculated by adding a years worth of divies and dividing them by the price.example, for simplicity sake, say the last 4 were .10 a quarter, .10 x 4 = .40 cents divided by... say 4 bucks a share is .1, or 1% although this changes too much to be useful.D4/p=y where D= dividend, 4 is the number of quarters, and p is price.

I Need to Figure Out Who the Famous New Yorkers In This Blind Item Are
Here's the thing, I'm terrible at figuring out blind items—the worst, in fact—and after reading a detailed new one in Lainey Gossip today, I had no guesses. No leads. My brain took in the information, and immediately diffused it. But maybe you're better at this than I am!

Pictures of Iulia accompanying Salman Khan on the sets of Kick in Hyderabad were splashed all over the Internet recently.
However, that may have the been last people seen of Lulia as it's believed she has returned to Romania.
Salman Khan on the other hand has been maintaining a somewhat low profile of late.
