A Memory. #1
' I feel like writing, while I should be drawing.
Thinking about the night I met a raven.
How strange it was raining right then. The rain. Oh, it is as if it tries to unite us. The chanting rain and the raven... What it is I don't think I'll ever put my finger on, merely quess.
This dripping rain is forthbringing my thoughts of him, yet this rain is no rain of his... Every time I had gotten a glimpse of him, before I knew him, this same rain had always hang in the sky. It is blue. So very blue, thick... Yet soft as a tear against my cheek. And the moon, so silver and solemn... Had lure me out in this still and sorrow night. On the same little gravelroad along this city shore. I didn't ever cared about my heels sinking into the little stones...
I had no way to go, other than this temporary home, from where I'd just come from. A stroll without no meaning, no purpose, like the rest of the world. I may have looked like I was crying, for some drops of the sky's weepings had stained my eye. Slowly walking with hanging head and heavy, wet hair, a not so unfamiliar aura I felt before me.
And on that bench, that bench where I and Jack always sat, the rainman sat, with his face in his hands. I was stunned by his oh, so different feeling about him. So in grief, so desperate... Oh, why... I wondered. When he turned his marine eye to me. Numb I was. Gazing, and then he rose to slowly walk towards me. Of beating hearts, I think mine was worst. He stopped just a meter in between. He spoke the forgotten language, with such lostness in those blue eyes, where man only sees evil. I think the forest in mine gave him the home he needed.
I reached him my left hand, yet he just stepped closer and wiped my cheek with his black-clawed thumb, a look from me, and then we went home in this heavy rain.
Where he is now, I don't know.
I hope he's well, and I think so too.
Though I cannot help but wonder why this rain is still so sad? Where is this raven now sitting?
... Atleast I know now that you're not forgetting.
I love the rain. '

Top 10 Hidden Windows 10 Features
Many of Windows 10's key features have been talked about at length, but the operating system actually comes with a lot of great features that aren't as immediately obvious to everyday users and even enthusiasts. These features don't get the attention that they should, so without further ado, let's get on with the top 10 hidden features of Windows 10.

Windows 10, the TechSpot Review
Windows 10 is the best Windows you can run today. This alone should make it a big win, not to mention the fact that it's "free." However I don't think Windows 10 is there yet. Can Windows 10 bring seamless updates that one or two years from now will make it the best, most polished desktop OS available, and still be called Windows 10? Microsoft must prove itself under this new direction.

Jason Cole: Tell me a little about Chad Bell and what has led to him pretty much making a complete improvement after a rough start.
Brad Holman: He has had a significant change, actually. He had a really high three-quarter arm slot––a very rigid approach to his pitching. What we have done was exaggerated––lowered him down. His arm has learned how to work. It's like if you skip a rock, so to speak.
As a result, what has happened is that his arm is freed up. It has learned how to work. And then gradually we moved it back up to where he still maintains that freedom from a high slot.
It's not near as high as it was, but the three-quarters slot has given him movement. And the fact that his arm works also creates action on the pitch. I think there's much more strikability from pitch to pitch. It has just kind of given him a new life. I think, honestly, from the time that the change was made, he has had success immediately ever since.
Cole: Was that starting with the 20-something inning game that you guys had? I know he pitched well in that game in an extended outing.
Holman: That's right. He had five scoreless innings in that game. I think it was just prior to that. There may have been one outing prior to that that he had. But it has been something that has been a good adjustment for him.
It still requires some constant maintenance. Every now and then, he'll get into a situation in the game where he'll get a hitter in there and every time he has an unsure feel, you see that rigidity come back in there a bit. He just needs a little slap every now and then. But he is running with it––he's doing well.
Cole: I noticed Ryan Kelly was mixing in a cutter during today's game. Can you tell me where that came from and what the thoughts were behind adding that pitch?
Holman: The cutter is something that he adopted early on––right out of spring training. It just gives him an option, as we have kind of approached with other guys, like Joe Wieland for instance. It's an option that gives him an easy strike option without having to just challenge a hitter behind in the count. He can throw it for a strike any time he wants. It's not very big––it's a real short, sharp pitch. It's a true cutter, where Wieland's is more of a slider.
With that, and then lately he has been doing a bit of adding and subtracting with his curveball. I think probably what is attributed to his success––and I have to give credit to (Myrtle Beach manager) Jason Wood because it's something that he noticed––was that everything he had was hard. And hitters didn't have a problem timing him. And now, he's backing off the curveball a little bit once in awhile. Now the timing of the hitter is definitely getting a little more disrupted. He has been good probably five or six outings in a row now.
Cole: You got to work with Johan Yan both last year and this season. I know he took to the sidearm thing pretty well from the start, but how far has he come in the last year? He's now up to 17 innings without an earned run allowed in Frisco.
Holman: Watching him pitch, you just don't see any violence in his delivery. It's a really smooth, effortless approach. But the ball, when it comes out of his hand, has some violence to it as it crosses the plate, with the sinking action that he gets and his ability to throw his slider over. He really hasn't even mastered the use of his changeup yet. I think, as that pitch comes along, he's only going to be even better.
I think it's just his ability to understand that his pitches get ground balls. And when he started just blatantly attacking the strike zone was when he started having a lot of success here in Myrtle Beach. He even got to the point where he would get frustrated with himself if he threw a ball to run a count 2-0 or 3-1 or whatever. He is really adamant about just getting contact early in the count now. As a result, he finds himself in a lot of put-away counts. He has got the pitches, when he needs to, to get a guy to swing and miss.
Cole: With the sidearm delivery, how much do Yan's long arms add to the deception?
Holman: I think it's a little bit––like we talked about with Bell––the looseness of the arm swing. And that looseness creates action on the pitch. So the length of his arm and the freedom of his hand––you see the arm work. And what I mean by that is that you see it break. You see the bend of the flex of the arm. As a result, his movement is accentuated. I think that he definitely has some long limbs, and also long fingers and really big hands. I think that the two in combination definitely help the action on his pitches.
Cole: What were your thoughts on Justin Grimm's outing today?
Holman: Right now, he is probably pitching a little bit outside the box according to his stuff. We're trying to advocate the use of secondary pitches while even or behind in the count situations. We want to get it to where he can learn to command those pitches and not feel the need to have to just challenge or give into a hitter just because he's behind in the count.
He is doing well with that. He is commanding his changeup and his curveball. Typically, since we kind of started doing this, he is a little slower starting than he is finishing. But as the outing progresses, he starts getting more and more comfortable with those secondary pitches for strikes.
But I think, in the future, you'll probably see a little more aggressive approach from him. But I'm very pleased with his outing. I think Justin is––I talked to you before about the aptitude of the kids. And he fits in that. He is a playful kid and you wouldn't think so. He is really able to take in information and apply it quickly. He is just growing quick.
Cole: How difficult is it to get a guy like Grimm to go out there and really focus on a third pitch when it might be out of their comfort zone?
Holman: I think it's just getting him to buy into the fact that we're trying to prepare them to pitch in the big leagues––not necessarily getting too concerned with their success in Low-A ball or High-A ball. And I think, and it's a tribute to him, that he gets that. He sees the big picture.
It's probably not easy because it's not just him that has to buy into it. It's also the catchers. So with Zaneski and DiFazio, they've also been on board in understanding that there may be some situations where he might walk a guy that he wouldn't have otherwise walked or what not. So it's just understanding from our side of things.
I think we'll graduate back into a more aggressive approach. Obviously he has got a good fastball. But with his outing tonight, I was pleased with it. He had one run over six innings––that's a quality outing. There are some things he needs to do a bit better––holding runners and controlling the running game. But he is definitely on a fast track, I think.
Cole: When I talked to Grimm in spring training, he said the biggest focus was on controlling the effort in his delivery. How has he done in terms of that this season?
Holman: Really, really well. He had a tendency––when he got here from Hickory, I know that he had worked on some things––but what I saw from him was that at the top of his balance point, he wanted to attack the pitch. What that created was like a bob or a hop in his delivery. You could literally see his head popping up and down.
So what we've done is transitioned into basically another stage of the delivery. Instead of going or attacking from a balance point, it's learning to balance, prepare, and then throw. What that does is that it creates the head going backwards and more of an arc into the pitch––so he doesn't have that up-and-down factor. I think he's doing really, really well with it. He still––for the first couple outings after we implemented it, it still showed up. But it's pretty consistent now.
Cole: What's the status on Barret Loux right now? I know he was shut down for the time being. Is it just an innings thing?
Holman: Yeah, innings and just fatigue. There's nothing injured––just the idea that it's better to err on the side of caution. He is showing a little fatigue and not as consistent. We just want to give him the time he needs to get refreshed, so to speak. He's at 110 innings in his first full season, so that is pretty good for a guy right out of the gate.
Cole: In terms of adjusting to throwing on this schedule and every five days, how difficult it is for guys like Grimm and Loux who are just out of college and pitched once every seven days?
Holman: I think it's probably more of a routine than what they're used to. So I think the arm actually responds to it better. But it's not just the throwing every five days. It's also an every day throwing program, where they're basically throwing a side in between that and on the second day, they're long tossing. So the arm is constantly working.
I think the adjustment is probably an easier adjustment. But the long haul––over the course of the length of the season––I think it tends to zap them a little bit more. But as far as the strength of the arm, I think it's beneficial.
Cole: The last guy I want to ask you about is Miguel de los Santos. First off, can you just describe his changeup? It's a really unique pitch.
Holman: Yeah, it's a circle changeup and he gets a lot of back-and-forth off his fastball. It's a pitch that he has been throwing for a long time. He had it last year when I had him in Hickory. It has always been good. I think the big issue with him is kind of the opposite of what Grimm's was––it was getting him to be more aggressive with his fastball.
But with the changeup, I think if I was to describe it, it looks like it stops in mid-air. It really does. It almost has like a string-attached-to-it action, and you see some really funny swings from hitters. It's a very exceptional changeup.
Cole: Is it kind of a screwball-type pitch?
Holman: Yeah, it has some sinking action. I think he does a little of both. It depends on whether he's trying to throw it for a strike. If he is just trying to lay it in there in a 2-0 count, it doesn't have as much action. But he really, really manipulates it a little bit, turns it over, and gets the sink to it when he throws it for a strikeout.
Cole: It seems like the big thing with him has been fastball command and getting ahead with his fastball. How is he doing in terms of that? And what must he do in order to improve in that area?
Holman: He is doing much better, especially as of late. He has had a couple good outings here in a row. Fastball command is not something that just comes overnight. He is learning how to control his body. And within the delivery, how to maintain balance. And again, not just balance at the starting point and the balance point, but balance on the finish––on the landing leg, where he doesn't fall opposite of his arm or throw out of control.
So it's learning how to actually manipulate the body to go directionally toward home plate. And doing it at the same time aggressively and under control. He is doing very well with that. He has a good angle with his fastball, and he knows how to make adjustments. That has been the course of action here––getting him to understand what he needs to do to make adjustments. He is doing well with that.

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-606) SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE fails on (very) large tables
|Fri, 10 Nov 2006 18:09:39 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-606?page=all ] Mike Matrigali updated DERBY-606: --------------------------------- Do you know how you are going to fix this issue, definitely consider upgrade implications of any change made. I think any change to allow CompressedNumber to write a negative number is likely not going to be backward compatible - now maybe that does not matter as any attempt to write a negative number with it, is already a bug. The bit patterns for the compressed number representation are pretty carefully chosen assuming non-negative numbers. This code is used extensively in every row/column on disk in the database, so requiring a hard upgrade of the format is a large issue. a few easier paths: 1) rewrite the log format for the record to not compress the numbers. The space doesn't really matter as it doesn't happen very much. As this would be a new log format it should be handled under hard upgrade. The bug would not be fixed under soft upgrade. Probably should throw an error earlier if you see a negative number under soft upgrade. If we could set back time on the db this would seem the natural fix. Or maybe if you are soft upgrade you change the -1 to be the last page in the conglomerate, which would mean in this special case the code would think there was a free page when we know there aren't any, but this is only a hint anyway. If you go this route look at the upgrade tests and add a case for both soft and hard upgrade in 10.3. 2) change the conglomerate code to not generate negative numbers, maybe use something like maxint or maxlong. This will of course require looking at all the code that currently checks for -1. > SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE fails on (very) large tables > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-606 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-606 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Store > Affects Versions: 10.1.1.0 > Environment: Java 1.5.0_04 on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition > Reporter: Jeffrey Aguilera > Assigned To: Mayuresh Nirhali > Attachments: A606Test.java > > > SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE fails with one of the following error messages when applied to a very large table (>2GB): > Log operation null encounters error writing itself out to the log stream, this could be caused by an errant log operation or internal log buffer full due to excessively large log operation.

defaut femshep in M.E 1&2 Changed to new Default in M.E.3?
If the titles kinda confusing I apologize, but this has been bugging me for a bit. When you play M.E.3, and you've had the default FemShep in your previous playthroughs, will she automatically be turned into the new default FemShep, or will you have to select the new FemShep default in M.E.3?

By Kathy Kiely and David Jackson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Republican John McCain will attend tonight's presidential debate in Oxford, Miss., his campaign confirmed Friday, assuring the session will be held no matter what the outcome of talks over the government's proposed bailout of Wall Street.
McCain had proposed delaying the debate until after meaningful progress had been made on the bailout plan. As negotiations continued to drag into mid-day Friday, his campaign issued a statement saying McCain "is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations."
"The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the senator will travel to the debate this afternoon. Following the debate, he will return to Washington to ensure that all voices and interests are represented in the final agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners," the campaign announced in the statement.
The 90-minute debate will be nationally televised from the University of Mississippi campus in Oxford, a southern crossroads rich in literary and civil rights history. It will be a high-pressure moment for Democrat Barack Obama and McCain, even though both are experienced debaters as members of the U.S. Senate.
"Millions and millions of people around the world will be watching, as opposed to C-SPAN's regular audience," said Curtis Wilkie, a veteran political journalist now on the Ole Miss faculty.
Both candidates were in Washington on Thursday to attend a White House meeting with congressional leaders of both parties and President Bush. They provided a bipartisan show of support for moving ahead quickly with a bailout plan, but differed sharply on the wisdom and effectiveness of their intervention.
Even as the debate remained up in the air, preparations continued in Oxford. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a Republican, indicated at a news conference Thursday that he expects both candidates to be on the Ole Miss campus.
"We are having a debate," Pete Smith, a spokesman for Barbour, told USA TODAY.
The bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, which has hosted and organized the fall gatherings debates in every presidential election since 1988, has altered the format to allow for longer answers to each question. Organizers hope that the candidates will use the opportunity to question each other and delve more deeply into issues rather than sticking to prefabricated sound bites, said commission spokesman Scott Warner.
Though advertised as focused on foreign affairs, the debate is likely to elicit the candidates' views on the week's grim economic news. Moderator Jim Lehrer has already alerted both campaigns to expect questions on the global economy, Obama adviser Robert Gibbs said.
Each candidate has spent time this week preparing for the encounter.
The Democratic nominee spent several days this week preparing and rehearsing for the debate at a hotel in Clearwater. Greg Craig, a Washington lawyer and Clinton administration veteran well-known in Washington, played McCain in mock debates with Obama.
According to his own advisers and outside experts, the Democratic nominee needs to:
•Keep it short. "Sometimes it takes 60 seconds for him to clear his throat," Gibbs lamented to reporters Thursday when discussing Obama's debate style. In an August interview with USA TODAY, Obama himself tacitly acknowledged his tendency to ramble on, saying he admired how "disciplined and concise" McCain had been when the two made back-to-back nationally appearances before Rev. Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in California.
"He tends to be professorial," Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a specialist on political rhetoric at the University of Pennsylvania, said of Obama. But a debate isn't a lecture and if the Illinois Democrat isn't careful, "his time is up before he's gotten around to answering the question," she said.
•Establish his foreign policy credentials. In USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken earlier this month, voters gave McCain had double-digit advantages over Obama when asked which candidate would better handle a range of foreign policy issues, such as the war in Iraq, foreign trade and terrorism. Gibbs said Thursday Obama is eager to show his mettle against a rival who has been "mocking" the Democrat's lesser experience in international issues.
•Be specific. J. Scott Wunn, executive director of the National Forensics League, said that is the advice drilled into the high school speech and debating society's 92,000 members. But Wunn said it's especially important for Obama, whose "incredible rhetorical skill" has won over voters but also become a favorite target for Republicans. McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, who frequently suggests that the Democratic nominee is more of a talker than a doer.
"All eyes are on the specifics," Wunn said. "Ambiguity isn't going to fly with the voters."
The Republican nominee's call for a campaign suspension and debate delay "raises the question, 'What was all the melodrama about?' " asked Alan Schroeder, author of Presidential Debates: Fifty Years of High Risk TV.
By his own admission, McCain is not the world's best public speaker. He prefers town hall meetings, the format of the second presidential debate, scheduled for Oct. 7.
"He's not particularly smooth, but he's very genuine," said former aide Mark McKinnon. "That's what people respond to. They like his humor."
Advisers and experts point to three things McCain needs to do in a debate:
•Play to his strengths. The first debate is primarily about foreign policy and national security, topics McCain are comfortable with. Steve Schmidt, a McCain senior strategist, said the topic gives McCain the opportunity to stress his early support for the U.S. troop buildup in Iraq, a move Obama opposed. McCain also looks forward to debating "fundamental questions about how to keep the peace in this first decade of the 21st century," Schmidt said.
•Avoid mistakes. One key for McCain and Obama is "to avoid making gaffes," said Bill Benoit, a professor of communication at the University of Missouri who has studied presidential debates. This is especially true for McCain, give his experience in foreign policy and support for the Iraq war.
Earlier in the year, Democrats mocked McCain mixed up for once mixing up the Sunni and Shia sects of Iraq and for referring to "Czechoslovakia," a nation that ceased to exist after the Cold War. Earlier this week, McCain also admitted that he had not read the three-page bailout proposal put out by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
•Watch the temper and tone. McCain did get off his fair share of zingers during the GOP primary Republican debates, but experts say though he needs to be careful not to come off as mean. Jamieson cited McCain's response to a student last year who asked him if he might be too old to be president. McCain said no, and then cracked, "Thanks for the question, you little jerk."
Dan Schnur, communications director of McCain's 2000 presidential campaign, said it's clear that Obama will try to "goad" his rival, and McCain "can't rise to the bait."
Address age and presidential association. Benoit said McCain needs to "foster the impression he is not too old to be president," but an even bigger challenge is dealing with the incumbent. President Bush is not very popular with the political independents McCain is seeking, but does have support from conservative Republicans whose support he also needs.
"McCain needs to differentiate himself from Bush without being disloyal," Benoit said.

A Torch in the TunnelMature
Coinciding with the lift doors sliding was Helena's gaze. They opened and her eyes swept the interior, falling suddenly on the sole passenger: Detective Carr. His, soon rolled off the cream-coloured marmoleum to spy Ms. Anderson. His face lit up, though the same could not be said of Helena who seemed unimpressed.
In his leisurely fashion, Forrest walked out of the elevator, bumping shoulders with Jack.
"'Scuse me," said the detective.
Along the way, he remembered the circumstances which brought him there and rumpled his face so as to resemble a solemn investigator rather than a perverted gawker aroused by the sick or dying.
Though not enthused, Helena could turn and look at him once he had made the change.
"I uh…" said Forrest searching for the right words, "I wasn't sure I'd see you here."
"Why wouldn't I be here? I'm supporting a colleague."
"Of course, that's fine. I think Ms. Misra would be happy to know you're here, and… pleased, to see you when she's finally able to receive visitors. The two of you must be close friends?"
Helena sighed, "...We're not."
"Oh. Well I'm sure she'll be delighted that you came to support her anyway." Helena was about to say something when someone caught Forrest's eye. "Along with…"
"Helena!" Aaliyah's piercing voice prompted some aggravated stares. As if the room had been subjugated to nails on a blackboard. "Who is this handsome man you're talking to?" The producer clearly heard the emphasis on the word 'man' and knew her star meant it as an insult. Whereas Forrest missed the insinuation completely.
"How do you do?"
Aaliyah pursed her lips and decided to let her hair down and whip it back. Mane which until then had been tied into a chignon by a large Colchian hairpin. She flashed the dangerously sharp ivory in the detective's face before shoving it in her clutch, and offering the man a hand for him to kiss. Such was her eccentricity.
Not tempted by her charm, Forrest took her hand and awkwardly shook it. "Ahh, you must be Mrs. Kenichi. I'm Detective Carr. Nice to meet you."
Her eyes widened, clearly shocked to be greeted by that name. When the detective didn't fawn over Aaliyah, the strangeness of the whole affair forced Helena to smile, which she tried to keep in check. But she was intrigued to say the least.
Aaliyah tried to recover, "Actually…it's Ms. Greene now." Yet, she had been rendered silent.
"Yeah, that's right. You're divorced. Sorry."
Aaron approached now, fascinated to learn that at some point, his co-star apparently shared a name with one of the most powerful Yakuza families of all time.
"Um…?" he said, glancing at Aaliyah, "Aaron Schaffer."
"Mr. Schaffer. How are you? Good to see you again."
Still confused, the actor added, "Um… again?"
"Yes. And walking about no less. You obviously don't remember, but we met yesterday. I suppose you were delirious at the time. However you had your girlfriend there to keep you company."
Immediately the three of them raised a brow at Forrest to see if he was serious. He had only been there so long, and with each passing moment there was a new development, seemingly pulled out of thin air.
His head bobbed from side to side trying to determine when he could have acquired this mysterious girlfriend of his, something of a smirk on his face. Though in the end Aaron inquired simply, "What?"
Before either revelation could be explored further, a gruff Greene growled and grabbed Aaron by the collar, "Okay! I think we've waited long enough. We're leaving. Aaron, come with me."
They both suddenly withdrew from the fray. Aaliyah stomped off in her high heel boots and yanked Aaron along, who seemed to have a lot more questions. Though he was either too confused and befuddled to actually stay behind and ask them or Aaliyah was so strong he was too helpless to resist.
Helena couldn't help but grin, and barely contained a laugh. A grin that Forrest observed, and reciprocated. They stared at one another, and in that instance, Helena did so in admiration. For a few seconds their stares did linger, and he leaned in. Unfortunately, Forrest beheld her unrequited.
Helena was be the first to avert her gaze and clear her throat.
"Look, Ms. Anderson," said Forrest, "I didn't want to bring this up and make things uncomfortable between us—"
"So don't. Our lives are probably already difficult enough. Let's not—"
To that effect, they both stood awkwardly in the middle of the waiting room as a pair of phones rang out at the nurse's station and a fax machine whirred to fill the hush. Helena even heard her watch ticking away. It was quarter after One.
"Sorry um… what are you doing here Detective? If this isn't a social call—"
"Correct. Sadly I didn't come to see you. Although I did try to contact you a few hours ago."
"Right. About that. I actually gave you my assistant's number—"
"Oh, don't worry about it; we're talking now. Besides, I was just curious to see how Aaron was coping. Dr. Dziedzic said they wanted to keep him another day for observation, but that he checked himself out early. However he seems to be fine."
"He is, as far as I can tell. But uh... have you been able to find out anything regarding Ms. Misra?"
Forrest frowned.
"Nevermind. You can't say. I understand." Helena crossed her arms and looked away.
Too late he replied, "All I know, is that she was attacked."
"That would be an understatement. She was abused, Detective. She was robbed. Of everything."
"...I don't know anything about that—"
"Surprise, surprise."
"I do know that you made the call. Without hesitation. Right after you found her."
Though there was nothing funny about it, Helena chuckled. She rubbed her face and coursed her fingers through her hair. "Sure. There's no way I could have called sooner." Her tongue was parched with remorse.
The detective sighed, "I'm… I'm truly sorry."
"Please, don't apologise to me. I'm not the one whose face was pulverised," Helena groaned. Her eyes even watered a little at her own vivid description.
She thought back to finding Kamala's body. Trembling as she tried to pull everything out of her purse to search for her mobile. Watching Alex stroke Kamala's face and trying to cover up her half-naked form.
Again, there was pause until Helena broke it. "Are you any good at your job, Detective?"
He nodded. He straightened up.
"Do you solve all of your cases?" asked Helena, almost lachrymose.
"Only when I have all the facts." replied Forrest, almost a-whisper.
"Solve this one."
"I promise."
Forrest offered up a handkerchief which Ms. Anderson was quick to accept. She dabbed her eyes before she teared up, careful not to smudge anything. Then she handed it back.
"And you and Ms. Misra don't have any kind of connection, hmm?" said Forrest half-smiling.
While Forrest acknowledged the return of her assistant, Helena felt the woman's incoming draught. Yet she looked over her shoulder at Alex and pushed back the unruly fronds of hair. Alex on the other hand, was loath and not terribly keen to join the group since Helena was in it. And she was distant; both literally and metaphorically.
"Detective, I'm Kate Dowling," said she.
"I remember."
"Thank God you're here. Do you know anything about what's happened to Kamala?"
"Not much, I'm afraid. I just arrived."
"Well I do. We're on the wrong floor. And since you're here, maybe you and Ms. Anderson can cut through any sort of red tape. If we encounter any."
"What floor?" Helena jumped in.
"Follow me."
'Patient Overflow' as the four of them (Forrest, Helena, Alex and Kate) might have guessed, was overflowing with patients. There may very well have been rooms full of patients either sick or healthy, but it didn't seem that way when they disembarked the lift.
So many people were in the hallways. They were bloody or screaming or crying. Some attended by doctors or nurses. Most not at all. Some patients had a bed or a gurney, with IV tubes dangling off of them, but not all, as it soon became evident, even deserved them. As most of the people who were suffering were sitting in chairs, or on the floor against the wall.
Then there was the noise which made all of them think twice about moving forward. And the stench which stumped them all, and force them to take a step back. It sounded so violent. It smelled so fetid.
Of course, the whole scene was commotion. It was chaos and disarray. And only one thing was painfully clear. That most of the patients had come from the same place. After a destructive event— which they could all be certain they would hear more about in the morning news— dangerous-looking people off the street had been pulled off of the street from a slum of some kind and taken to that exact hospital. There probably wasn't an exact count of how many people lined the corridors, though it was safe to assume they numbered in the dozens.
"Detective Carr?" Kate asked, "These people here… were they in the gang shooting?"
Seeing no reason to refrain from answering, Forrest said, "I'd be hard-pressed to think otherwise."
Forrest came upon the nurse's station and greeted the nurse manning it. Nurse Featherstonehaugh. An ogress with flowing raven hair and floral tattoos on her cleavage and up along her neck.
"Pardon me," said the detective. He proffered his badge but the nurse didn't reach for it. "I'm looking for a patient. Kamala Misra. I understand she was taken here after some kind of operation?"
Nurse Featherstonehaugh sneered, but before whatever cruel words came out of her little droll face, a doctor who came behind the desk and interrupted her. "Detective Carr?"
"Hi, Dr. Dziedzic."
"Did you say you're searching for a patient? Last name Misra?"
"He did," responded Alex.
The doctor and the detective gave her a swift glance, before Mieczysława probed again, her accent weighing heavy, "Sorry, who are they?"
"Concerned colleagues of Ms. Misra." One by one he pointed out the women who stood beside him. "They're Mrs. Finnick; Ms. Dowling; and Ms. Anderson."
"Well Detective, ladies, I'm sorry to say that Ms. Misra can't have visitors right now."
Kate pried, "Well can we at least see her? Is she alright?"
"She's stable," What relief those two words may have provided was limited, "but you'll need to wait a few hours more…"
Kate's eyes were pleading, so Dr. Dziedzic relented, "Come this way."
The group made a short walk down the hall to one of the recovery rooms. The walls being taupe, and the floor a dark emerald lino. It was like stucco to provide grip but it was still slick with something that wasn't wax. Kate moved quickest despite the tripping hazard.
There was a window outside of the room to view the patients, and metres before they had the opportunity to look through it, Dr. Dziedzic warned them. "Be prepared for a shock. She might look worse for wear."
Indeed she did. Although cleaned, put into a hospital gown, bandaged and blanketed, Kamala hardly resembled the young woman she used to look like. In fact she was nearly unrecognisable.
Her hands and fingers must have had a plethora of gashes, so they, the wrists, down to her elbows may as well have been completely covered. With casts as stark as white. Tubes and wires ran all across her body.
Blood had been washed off her face, but it only helped showcase the cuts and the bruises. Rings around her eyes were nearly solid black and her lower cheek and the side of her chin was blue. There were little nicks all over her face from the thrashing she received, but there were two medium-sized cuts on her brow with fine stitching. On her other cheek another laceration. This one was presumably stitched up as well, but it had begun to bleed from underneath the plaster. However, an air mask covered the majority of her face.
Then wrapped around her crown were layers upon layers of gauze. Presumably to help heal another injury that neither Kate nor Alex nor Helena had noticed before. Though technically asleep and unmoving, she didn't look as if she were resting; rather like she was in pain.
Helena simply looked away, and as soon as Kate saw her, her hand shot up to cover her mouth.
Alex took in the sight a little longer, but eventually, casually turned in the opposite direction and slid gradually down against the wall. All the way to the floor; her knees pointed up as if she were squatting down. Then she put her hands up above her head and clung to the sill. Helena tried to lace her fingers in between one of them, but Alex pulled away.
"What…?" Kate tried to ask, but no further sound came out.
"What is the extent of her injuries?" Forrest asked for her.
The doctor sighed a heavy sigh, "Let's start with the superficial wounds," then a few seconds later, she began to list them off. In simplified English. "Abrasions to the hands and face, elbows, knees, shins. There are numerous nicks and cuts to her hands and arms and face. Deeper lacerations on her palms, her brow and the side of her face. Severe bruising, and multiple contusions on her chest, neck and face."
That could have been enough, but Dr. Dziedzic kept on going. Kate almost tuned her out. "...broken nose… broken arm… fractured wrist… dislocated wrist… broken fingers… broken ribs—"
"If that's all it was, why did she need surgery? Why is she unconscious?" Forrest interrupted.
"I'm sorry but there's more to it than that, Detective. One of her rib fractures was likely the cause of the pneumothorax. The collapsed lung. And that in turn caused her to stop breathing and her heart to stop. Until EMTs arrived and were able to finally resuscitate her… she was dead for about nine and a half minutes."
"Oh my… Jesus…" Kate walked away with her hands on her head. Tears flowing freely down her face. She screamed, "Fuck!"
Still sitting motionless on the floor, was Alex. Grey.
Neither Forrest nor Helena knew which one they should be more worried about. But Helena wasn't faring much better. She was practically catatonic like Ms. Kensington, and her stomach wasn't settling. By sheer force of will, her legs hadn't given out. She normally fixed things. She solved problems. But in this case... she didn't know what to do.
"A uh… chest tube…" For a moment, Mieczysława slowed as well, as she watched Kate curse and pace the corridor; unsure whether she should continue, "...was… inserted.… to remove air from the pleural cavity. Since then we've actually removed the chest tube, and given her a ventilator. But… she also suffered a subdural hæmatoma, a um… a bleed in the brain, which we believed was due to trauma. At least we suspected as much when she arrived. We ran a CT scan to confirm. Once we did, she underwent a craniotomy whereupon we removed the clot with suction. Her surgery was quick; there were… one or two hiccoughs… but she's been in recovery for the last eight hours."
Kate shuddered but snarled too, "That son of a bitch."
"Detective," said Dr. Dziedzic, "there is one more thing, but perhaps it's best if I just talk to you? In private?" motioning to the Utopia Dystopia crew.
Forrest looked to Helena, but her gaze was now elsewhere. So he addressed the three of them, "Will you all excuse me?" and he walked away.
Dr. Dziedzic led Forrest further down the hall. Confidentiality was a priority to them, and the two professionals apparently acted in accordance with protocol.
Like a turtle coming out of its shell, Alex slowly turned her head. Her line of sight tracking the policeman and the doctor, ready to eavesdrop their conversation. Only they were too far to hear, or the building was too loud and full of multiple auxiliary voices, making it near impossible to distinguish theirs. Not that she needed to. None of them did. Kate, Alex and Helena already suspected some of the most foul play was sexual in nature. And it likely took a toll on Kamala as any single injury would have done. Needing to speak about it privately served as a confirmation.
Not taking Helena's open hand to help hoist her up, Alex rose again on her own. She dusted herself off and saw her producer attempt to give a consoling smile. Alex gave nothing back. She didn't even focus on Ms. Anderson's face and instead looked just over her shoulder.
"Should we go?" tried Helena.
Peering through the glass again, she overlooked the pale watermelon walls and noticed the other two patients in what could be considered a cramped space.
One was quite still. Perhaps permanently so. He was old but exceptionally grey and wan. Despite his near full baldness, one could see where his head had been shaved on the side, and his scalp peeled back.
The other was burly and swart, and clearly resting as evidenced by the heaving chest. Like Kamala he had a bandaged head in common. Though at closer inspection he didn't seem to fare well at all, given the fact he had an amputated wrist and twice as many tubes shoved down his throat and cannulae stabbed into his veins. And his breathing was so slow and rhythmic, it was obvious the machines were doing most of his respirating and heart-beating.
Together, the three of them were alone in the hospital. Alex wondered if Kamala might decline and become as sick as her roommates. And for the umpteenth time, she wondered if there was something she could have done to have prevented the tragedy.
Again, Alex failed to make eye contact as she turned to Helena. And she nodded affirmatively but answered counterintuitively, "Yes... You should go."
"Just go without me."
"But… I'm your ride."
"I'll be fine. I can get a taxi home. But you'll need to talk to Peter and Ben in the morning about taking up my directorial duties for tomorrow."
"What?" Helena said, perplexed.
"I think I might stay here a few more hours with Kate. Watch over Kamala; see if her condition changes."
"I don't understand—"
"She's awake." Kate loudly gasped. "She's awake!"
Having already crept into the room when no one was paying attention to her, Kate noticed her friend begin to stir. Though Kamala did more than just twitch or flutter her eyes open. They had a look of fear to them. Fear of the unknown. She shook her head a few degrees in either direction as if to look around. And as the seconds passed, she fidgeted her entire body.
"Kamala? Kamala? Can you hear me? Can you see me? Kamala? I'm right here beside you, okay? Just nod, don't try to speak."
Kamala did look over at Kate. Several times in fact. But she rarely focused. With every passing second she would lend her gaze to something different looking for something familiar. Recognising nothing, she only became more and more panicked.
"Kamala, it's okay. It's me, Kate. You're in the hospital, okay, you've been hurt," Kate reassured her friend, more tears flowing.
Kamala cried too, her eyes wide open. an awful grimace spreading on her face. And gradually she moaned louder and louder, her breath fogging up the plastic of her breathing apparatus, in between harsh, laboured breaths. Almost like she was choking. She must have been in such bewilderment and in such pain.
Suddenly, her heart monitor spiked, as her pulse quickened, and her movements were more violent than simple fidgeting. However, it was Kate's signalling that spurred Dr. Dziedzic and Nurse Featherstonehaugh into action. Another soon joined them, Nurse Jarvis. Her blond hair was shoulder length, features symmetrical, and perfume sweet like a pomegranate.
When they rushed toward the room, Kamala's visitors easily heard the medical professionals muttering about how the anæsthesia had worn off earlier than expected. Nevertheless, they set to work, presumably to sedate her again, though possibly just to administer enough opioids to manage her pain. Whatever the procedure, the crew of the TV show were unaware.
"Kam!" Kate tried once more, "It's me Kate! Your friend! It's alright, you're safe! You're in the hospital Kam!"
"Nurse, can you get rid of her, please!?" asked Dr. Dziedzic.
"Ms. Dowling, please," Forrest insisted, "step outside!"
The room grew more frenetic with Kamala starting to kick and rip out wires. She gagged as she wrenched the tube out of her throat and then shouted bloody murder. The wailing sunk well into her ears and permeated deep into the grey matter, it made Kate shiver so. Forrest stepped in to grab Kate and drag her out of the room if necessary. But by then, she was scared enough to come quietly.
The door slammed. The blinds closed. But they still heard Kamala. All four of them. Even from whence Forrest had ushered Alex and Helena.
"She doesn't remember me," Kate muttered.
"I don't think she remembers anything."
"How do you know?" Helena queried. "She just woke up. How could she have said anything at all with those… things down her throat?"
A second passed and Kate flashed her eyes up at her boss. "She didn't have to. I saw it in her eyes."
"Well since she has just woken up, maybe she's just a little confused? Maybe it's the drugs?" Alex suggested.
The wide open hall leading to Kamala's room received a sullen glance from the group.
A phone buzzed.
It was Matt Twynam's show. News about the rich and famous he called Studio Drama. A third incarnation of Mr. Twynam's television program which had been airing periodically for the last decade. The previous two had ended in colossal failure, and a smidgen of hilarity. Where he focused on spectacle and shock value and ratings rather than worrying about censorship laws and budgeting.
Not that I cared. Personally I didn't like him or his shows. I didn't go to watch it, I went to see Mr. Schaffer. He'd been scheduled to make an appearance for months, and so soon after the fire, made the appointment. Told that he would be finishing up at nine, I arranged to drive over just before then. Lest he be whisked away prior to my interview.
I was delayed. The set seemed to be blacked out. The cameras, the lights, even those embedded in the stairs and the aisles of the studio audience, which had long since emptied.
Backstage seemed to be a different story. Everyone was running around. Everything remained hectic. I head a curtain drawn back, and the first person I recognised was Ms. Greene, followed closely by her personal assistant, Ms. Reichenbach. She was taking dictation by the looks of it. Hanging on her boss's every word, squinting at the notepad as she jotted.
When I asked a stagehand where I could find Mr. Schaffer, the acne-hewn young man nervously pointed me toward his stage manager, who in turn directed me to a producer; Ms. Anderson. Helena.
The moment he said her name my heart skipped.
I took a breath and I felt refreshed. Lighter. Whenever someone mentioned her name I—
"Hey, Detective? You alright?"
I could practically taste the stage manager's bitterness.And his dopey smirk stung me. The way he stood from heel to heel, twirled his moustache and rolled his eyes told me he wasn't so much concerned for my health as he was annoyed that I had yet to thank him for his meagre assistance. Though he neither told me nor showed me where Mr. Schaffer might have been. Apparently I day-dreamed and stood motionless a little too long.
Politely, I dismissed the man, "Yeah, fine. Thanks."
There she was. Helena. Her arms were folded. Leaning against a very cold and square pillar under a spotlight. Her hair meandered like a long and winding river. And her form was just as fluid the way she curved, propped upon the stone. Seeing her, even just from the back, brought me joy.
As I came alongside her, I watched her reading. I wasn't sure, perhaps she read like that all the time, but she had a book rested in her right palm and the crook of her arm. She stared down at the pages intently, almost furiously. Pages by Winston Paddlemore. A Torch in the Tunnel.
"Hello, Ms. Anderson," I said pleasantly.
I may have startled her. I noticed her shoulders roll and her eyes shoot at me briefly before they returned to her paragraph. When she saw me she smiled, but immediately frowned. "Detective."
"Uh… Rereading the source material?"
"You could say that."
"I see you're near the end."
"You're very observant," her tone was not terribly cordial.
I sighed and tried again, "What chapter are you on? If you're looking for the deeper meaning… maybe I can help?"
Helena's eyes lifted up, and she replied, "Don't worry, I've got it. Besides, I think you've helped enough, but... you've read this?"
"Once upon a time ago, yeah. I've read it. And he does get a little political, though Paddlemore has some nice thrilling and suspenseful moments."
"If you say so. Chapter twenty-eight."
Before I could reply she closed the hardcover, which made a light thud, and she ranted about the book for a moment. "You know, what bothers me, is how my head writer can lie and suggest that the script is not misogynistic. I have read this book from cover to cover. This will be my third time reading it now. Not only is there no mention of the character Rand in the entire story, but Mel is the narrator, and has the majority of the lines. So…" Helena scoffed, "why the hell does Ms. Greene have no lines? She shouldn't even have to complain!"
She then took a step closer and shoved her index finger up to my breast. And she continued. The contempt was still there but she wasn't talking about the story any longer. "Also, I'm currently down two assistants. One of my leads refuses to make any public appearances, the other is… even more detestable and spiteful than usual. My head writer is smugger than usual. And my head director is emotionally AWOL. Of course, that's not the worst part, Detective Carr. Would you care to guess… what the worst part is?"
Helena paused but the question was rhetorical. "The worst part is that… my show, and my job are in jeopardy. Filming is at a standstill. Mr. Monroe in his infinite wisdom has, in addition to the incidents and subsequent investigations, suggested that the cast and crew might be overworked, so that justifies more delays in production. Even though we've filmed just over two episodes worth of footage! and we were two weeks behind schedule to begin with!"
"Ms. Anderson—"
"I should really thank you for that. For alerting Mr. Monroe. It coincided perfectly with Mr. Khagan-Smith either going off or getting back on his medication, so now he will be flexing his power on set; using his producer's credit to his advantage. So thank you for that."
It was true. The network executive had been informed. But by whom was the question. Certainly not by me, as there was no reason to involve him. I had the trust of, or at least the understanding of Ms. Anderson and her permission to conduct my investigations without a warrant. Before, I could have interviewed cast and crew with ease and just cordoned off the crime scenes. Not to mention, Helena would have been happier for it.
"And what are you even doing here? You don't need to talk to me about anything. You and Howard must be as thick as thieves now. Running the investigation together yet? Do you have a two-pronged course of action?"
I tried to butt into the to conversation, but once again I was interrupted. "Perhaps the two of you, and Mr. Khagan-Smith can run the show? I'm sure it was lacking a man's touch anyway."
"I get it. You're mad at me. But let me explain—"
"Mad? Au contraire, Sir. I'm delighted. Delighted that a man has come to take over and do a better job than I ever could… But do I not have the right to be so? Is anger not justified? Am I just being a selfish bitch!?"
She raised her voice slightly, and turned a few heads. I saw her eyes tremble crossly, and knew that I had been browbeaten. Resoundly. Then she continued more softly this time, and with a definite lump in her throat. There were no tears, and she didn't cry, but even a simpleton could tell she was distraught. So I listened.
"...Apparently, I'm on my second strike. Three and I'm out. That's how serious this is. That's how important it is that my set is devoid of people working. That that makes me upset is how… devoted to my job I am. That's how pathetic I am. And—" Helena stopped short as she gasped and had to catch her breath.
For a second she paused to stop herself from crying. But then sure enough, her voice deepened. "And nobody talks to me, Detective. Not the temp at my office, not my colleagues, not the cast or the crew, Ms. Kensington… Kate; who's called in sick. The only people who seem to want to talk to me, are you, and my mother! People I don't want to talk to. And yet… I'm talking to you anyway."
Helena was slumped forward and her hands were on her waist; the volume caught between a hip and a palm. And she dared not cry and show weakness. She looked every which way but toward me. All of a sudden, I wasn't sure of where to start or what to say. I could have corrected her. Easily. But I figured, what would it have mattered? How would that have made the lovely Ms. Anderson feel better?
And I must have disgusted her. Me, like a fly in ointment. So I didn't know how close I should stand to her. If I should even be in the same building as her. All I knew was that she was upset. Yet…
Stretching out my left, I put my arm over her shoulder and moved forward, pulling her in a few likewise steps to comfort her. Pressing her head against my chest. Maybe her eyes were a little redder than before, but she stayed strong and held everything back. A few seconds later, she slowly wrapped her arms around me for a moment or two.
I looked around backstage and no one seemed to notice we were there as they walked along, going about their business. Nobody cared.
The moment passed, and I released her from my embrace, and very calmly, she asked me again, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I uh… I came to speak to Mr. Schaffer."
"Well you're too late."
"He left ten minutes ago." Helena cleared her throat and pointed, "When the interview was over."
"Damn." I pushed the heel of my palm into my temple and resigned myself to defeat. My evening was… almost wasted. "I passed someone on my way here who said that the interview got away from Mr. Twynam."
Then came the second smirk from Ms. Anderson that night. "First the restraining order was brought up and then the lawsuits…"
"Failure to appear in court?"
"No, not as such."
"I'll need to watch it."
She sighed, feeling obligated to the law, "You definitely will. I don't know his source, but somehow, Twynam got some surprising pictures of Alex— Ms. Kensington, Mr. Schaffer and Ms. Greene. Photos, possibly stills from a video which I doubt the police would have shared with him."
"Well shit!" Slightly slack-jawed listening to her, I was going to march off and find the weasel when Helena stopped me.
"You won't find him here!" I returned, and she filled me in. "Or the pictures. He most likely keeps them, or backups at his office across town."
I looked down at the beautiful specimen before me and groaned that I had to leave so swiftly. "I… I have to go."
"It's alright. I've gotten this far in life without you."
"Well, you might wish I left sooner. Because I'll leave you with this, and you might not like it."
"It pains me to say this on your account, but… Mr. Khagan-Smith was right."
Already tensing up, she asked, "How so?"
"Okay, that is indeed the first novel," said I pointing to her copy, "however it's not the first story in the series. The author wrote a novella years earlier and it was finally published with a number of his other short stories. That's why the title of your book, 'A Torch in the Tunnel' is the sub-heading underneath 'Afraid of the Dark.' And Mel still narrates as she does in all the books, but she features less prominently. At least initially. As for Rand…"
Helena urged me on with her eyes.
"Maybe I shouldn't spoil it."
"Go on tell me."
"Well I'm sorry to say but, his character dies. Right near the end, and naturally, right before he can tell Mel that he loves her."
"But there's no mention of him in this story. Did she not love him?"
"No. But she still cared for him and essentially she grieves his death through the entire course of your book. Just not by name. She simply can't bring herself to say it aloud or even think it. That's what RR stands for."
I couldn't help but smile. And she gave in as well.
"For what it's worth, I don't think you're pathetic. For a while, all I had was my job."
"What happened?"
"I met someone. Someone who makes me want to get out of bed in the morning. Anyway, it looks like we'll have to finish our conversation later, Ms. Anderson." I was referring to the stage manager who called out to everyone stating that no one needed to go home, but none of them could stay there.
"Another time then," said Helena.
I closed my eyes as I strolled away. Imagining that Helena watched me. I couldn't understand it of course, but I felt like she was the light in my eye. The spring in my step. I had only spoken to her on three occasions now, but I was infatuated. And it pained me to be away from the woman.
Unable to fight it any longer, I peeked behind me too see if Ms. Anderson was actually watching. Alas, she was already gone. And I left. Wondering.

Commonly used plant extract that can have potent antioxidant properties and some soothing properties. However, witch hazel's high tannin content (tannin is a potent antioxidant) can also make it sensitizing if used repeatedly on skin. The bark of the witch hazel plant has a higher tannin content than the leaves. Producing witch hazel water by steam distillation removes the tannins, but the plant's astringent qualities are what most believe give it benefit.
Alcohol is added during the distillation process, the amount typically being 14–15%. Witch hazel water is distilled from all parts of the plant; therefore, you never know exactly what you're getting, although the alcohol content remains.
Depending on the form of witch hazel, you're exposing your skin either to an sensitizing amount of alcohol or to tannins, or both. Moreover, witch hazel contains the fragrance chemical eugenol, which is another source of sensitivity.

Cillian Murphy
Ellen Page
Susan Sarandon
Printer-Friendly version
Ignore all that, because PEACOCK is not remotely a horror film. It's best described as a psychological thriller/character study, and while I found it a bit tedious and boring, I can't deny that it features an excellent performance by Cillian Murphy. This is his second time in drag (the first being BREAKFAST ON PLUTO), and I gotta say- he looks GOOD as a woman. His slender frame, and somewhat androgynous features lend well to this type of role, and he's utterly convincing as the tormented John, and his more confident (re: domineering) alter-ego.
I was less impressed by Ellen Page, who I think might be a bit too contemporary to play the small town prostitute in this period film (it takes place in the late fifties/early sixties). She's not bad, but I think the filmmakers might have been better off casting someone who was a little less of a marquee name, and could disappear into the role like Murphy did.

A Queensland poll suggests the premier, Campbell Newman, and more than half his MPs face losing their seats at next year's election.
A ReachTEL poll of voters commissioned by The Sunday Mail and the Seven Network indicated up to 40 of the Liberal National party's 73 sitting members could be voted out, the Mail reports.
Of almost 1900 Queenslanders asked which of the two main parties would get their vote, 51% chose the LNP and 49% Labor.
The result suggests an 11.8% swing against the government at the next poll, meaning Labor would win 40 LNP seats, and possibly office.
On primary votes, 38.7% of those polled said they would vote for the LNP, compared to 34.4% for Labor.
The poll showed Clive Palmer's popularity continues to rise after 15.4% indicated they would vote for the Palmer United party.
The premier's popularity has slipped further, with 53.1% rating his performance poor or very poor.
The LNP catapulted into power in 2012 after winning 78 seats to Labor's seven in a landslide victory.
Support for the party has since eroded amid public service job cuts, controversial law reforms and plans to sell assets.
