The office-opening ceremonies for the 59th Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon next Feb. 7 took place Nov. 12 at the Oita Civic Track and Field Grounds. Organizing committee assistant director Toshio Hamamoto, the head of the Oita Athletics Association, hung the race organization's sign on the entrance to the Oita Grounds' facilities to signify that next year's race is now open.
The first committee meeting came immediately after the opening ceremony. In his welcoming comments Hamamoto told committee members, "We are making the first major course change in 26 years. We hope the change will attract many talented runners and help them to set fast new times. Please give us your help and support to ensure the success of this event."
The new course starts in front of the Umitamago attraction in Oita and travels north along route 10 before turning back at Kamegawa Bypass in Beppu and heading to a finish at the Oita Civic Track and Field Grounds. Athletes can expect a tailwind for 60% of the course and will be running through the center of Oita city during the second of the race, meaning great crowd support along the roads. The nation's marathoners are eagerly anticipating the new course. For more information, contact the race office at 097-558-1999.
Translator's note: Click here for a map of the new course. The actual roads covered on the new course are almost identical to the old one, but rather than a single out-and-back the new version starts in the middle and breaks it into two sections. It pits runners against the area's famous winds in the first 10 km rather than near halfway as on the old course. The stadium finish has not changed.
Beppu-Oita is rumored to be bringing in a very special guest to help set a fast record on the new course.

I was trying to validate a xml file using xsd wherein a node value should be non-empty. Means there should be atleast one non-whitespace character into that. After lots of googling, I finally wrote up a small pattern to validate that. Here is the fragment.
Define a new type derived from string type and apply the pattern constraint.
<!– Non-empty string –>
<xs:simpleType name="NonEmptyString">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:minLength value="1" />
<xs:pattern value=".*[^\s].*" />
Now use the new type "NonEmptyString" for all the nodes you want to enforce non-empty constraint.
<xs:element name="Name" type="NonEmptyString" />

St. James' Cemetery ROMwalks
St. James' Cemetery, opened at the corner of Parliament and Bloor Streets in 1844, is the eternal resting place of many of the prominent families of York and Toronto. Monuments and mausoleums are engraved with the names Jarvis, Ridout, Gooderham, Cawthra, Baldwin and Osler among others. Stories of success and scandal abound.
Historic South Rosedale Artist Studio

On our ROMwalk tour of the western section of South Rosedale, we'll descend into the Rosedale Ravine via Park Road, originally a corduroy road constructed by Sheriff William Botsford Jarvis to make the trip to Rosedale more convenient and facilitate sales of his Rose Park subdivision lots.
Discovering Hidden Treasures in the heart of Toronto
Getting to and from work and home can be hectic. Most of us use TTC or drive, and in doing so we miss much of what cyclists or pedestrians see clearly every day. Did you know, for example, that a herd of "bunny dogs" romp on the boulevard at Wellington and John? Or that Glenn Gould is amongst us, and invites us to join him on a bench to watch the world go by? Where is Toronto's newest wonder, created in China from 22 tons of stainless steel, and what message does it convey??

Canada – the 51st State?
How would you describe the relationship between Canada and our closest ally and neighbour? Child/Mother? Sibling rivalry? Victim/Bully? Worshippers/Idol? Friends? Enemies? Frenemies?
Some would argue that in everything but name we are effectively the 51st State with a puppet Prime Minister whose strings are pulled by a puppet master President, while others would counter by saying that our countries share a very close and mutually respected bond that allows for tree trade, cross border shopping, and a wealth of partnerships.
Funny Strange: Satire after Mordecai Richler
What has become of satire in Canada in the post Mordecai Richler era?

The ABCs of Rosedale
By Regina Virgo, ROMWalk Volunteer
Did you know that South Rosedale is a Heritage Conservation District (HCD)? It is protected because its buildings are considered to be historically or culturally significant and require special care and attention to ensure that they are conserved. The application for the HCD designation was due, in part, to the loss of a number ofRosedalehomes to demolition or unsympathetic alterations.
Every building in South Rosedalehas been evaluated and given a rating.

Canada's Oceans and YOU: The Event (Part II)
Five months of planning, three partners, one event.
Expectations were high for the WWF-Canada and ROM exhibit, presented by Loblaw Companies Limited, at the 2012 Green Living Show at the Direct Energy Centre, Toronto, April 13-15. "Canada's Oceans and You" did not disappoint.
Canada's Oceans and YOU: The Rising Sea (Part 1)
Packing and transporting over 50 specimens from the ROM to the Direct Energy Centre at the Exhibition grounds for the Canada's Oceans and You: An Interactive Exhibition at the Green Living Show is not a simple task. Days of preparation happen: models are placed delicately in or on packing material, real taxidermy specimens must be cleaned and crated, and all are loaded neatly into trucks.

And imo Sadasada got off too easy.
One of my favorite arcs… but then again Yoshiwara always has the best arcs in this series.
The OP also shows the Beam Sword Style arc, so that should be animated sometime this season.
That was some beautiful art in that final scene. I have to say they accomplish things in the Anime that are not quite pulled off in the manga due to the limits of the medium and the authors particular art style.
Damn…it hit me hard even knowing it's coming.
Beautiful art and wish he never awakens form the dream. Lovely piece. Can't resist checking it over and over again. Almost spending 10 mins now on this one. Lovely.
since the staff busted their asses for the art quality of this arc, expect Gin-san and the crew to sit in the Kotatsu eating lemons for the next episodes
i can already see that one coming, they blew off too much money on this arc that they didn't even make any progress on the movie

Living A Lie
Paris Saunders is forced to live with her mother, her step-father, her older brother Ivan and her younger brother Chip in a mansion. She has many good friends. She really thinks her parents don't understand her and doesn't get along with them. Just after her 14th birthday she gets a phone call from a mysterious stranger who calls himself Adam. When Paris begins investigating the first person she asks is her mom who always changes the subject when she asks about Adam. What is her mother hiding?
A young girl with long black hair sat outside on a large wall that surrounded the Gillespies Mansion. Her name was Agusta Paris Saunders the second eldest child of the Gillespies family. But she just went by Paris.
The Gillespies Family consited of five people. There was Jeanette Gillespies who was the mother of the children. Then there was her husband, Carl Gillespies who was Jeanette's second husband. Next came Ivan the eldest son and heir to the Gillespies household. After him there was Paris who looked younger than she was. And last but not least, Alvin but Paris called him Chip instead because his name reminded her of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Plus he prefered Chip anyways.
Today was Paris's birthday but to her birthdays were just like regular days. She hadn't been in the birthday spirit since her father had left them. Joshua Saunders. Carl wasn't much of a father anyways. Paris hardly saw him around anyways. So to prove her point to her mother about how unhappy she was she had kept her father's surname. She refused to have Gillespies be her last name. Everytime she heard that name she felt like throwing up.
Paris didn't know why her father had left them. He just had. Him and Jeanette had an arguement and a few days later Josh had packed his bags and left. That was seven years ago and he sent her letters daily. She wanted to go see him badly but every time she asked her mother the answer was always no. In many of her letters to her father she had pleaded for him to come and take her away but he always said that he couldn't. He'd be thrown in jail if he did something like that.
"Agusta!" Jeanette called from the door "Come inside for luch!" Paris winced as her mother called her by her horrible first name. Even her father had agreed it was ugly. Paris had no idea how Agusta sounded pretty to Jeanette.
"Jeanette! How many times to I have to tell you that my name is Paris! Not Agusta!" Paris called over her shoulder, not moving from her spot on the wall.
"Just come in for lunch!" her mother called back in reply, clearly hurt.
Instead of turning back to the house, Paris jumped down on the outside of the wall and continued walking no matter how many times Jeanette called her back.

Information about Plastic injection Moulding
The manufacturing process that produces packaging, plastic tote boxes, bottle caps, wire spools, automotive dashboards, and other plastic products is called injection moulding. In fact, it is the most common part manufacturing method. Manufacturers can perform injection moulding using a variety of materials including common thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers, metals, confections, elastomers, and glasses. Usually, they feed the raw materials into a heated barrel, mix it, and force it into a mould cavity where it can harden and cool to the shape of the cavity.
Learn more about plastic tote boxes
An industrial designer or engineer designs the product while a toolmaker or mould maker fabricates the mould from metal, usually aluminium or steel. With the help of modern technology, manufacturers can now produce a wide variety of parts, from the tiniest components to entire motor vehicle body panels. To facilitate the moulding process, manufacturers must take into account the following:
1: The materials used for each part or component
2: The desired features and shape of each part
3: The materials used for the mould
4: The properties of the moulding machine
Typically, the moulding process is very fast in fact, manufacturers can produce complex designs from thermosetting and thermostatic polymers within a very short time. Due to the flexibility in size and shape, this manufacturing process accounts for a huge proportion of all plastic parts and products used today. As the most preferred plastic parts manufacturing process, injection moulding is the favoured process for producing components such as
1: Containers for housing all sort of different products and recycling boxes. As well as products like DVD cases.
2: Automotive parts like car bumpers or interior compotents.
3: Electronic housing and battery casings. Housing for electronic compotents like Telephone handsets, TV cabinets and Power tool housing.
4: Bottle caps
5: Combs
6: Syringes
And many other plastic products, which are used everyday both in the home and at work.
The Moulding Cycle
The sequence of events during the moulding process is called the injection moulding cycle. It begins when the mould closes, followed by the injection of the material into the metal cavity. Once the cavity is full, a machine applies pressure to compensate for material shrinkage. Once the plastic component is sufficiently cool and firm, the mould opens and the machine ejects the part. Some of the common moulding variations include:
Sandwich or co--injection moulding
Fusible core moulding
In-mold lamination
Gas assisted moulding and Water assisted injection
Injection-compression moulding
Microinjection moulding and Microcellular moulding.
Outsert and insert moulding
Power injection
Lamellar moulding
Reaction injection
Low pressure injection
Structural foam injection
Rubber injection
Thin--wall moulding
The principal enemy of injection-molded components is stress. When one melts a plastic resin containing long strains of molecules, the force and heat of the extruder forces the molecular bonds to break temporarily. The pressure forces the resin into the mould cavity in every crack and crevice. As the molecules press through each feature of the mould, they turn, distort and bend to form the desired shape. This intense pressure may exert tremendous stress, which in turn locks into the component. Components or parts with too much stress can easily crack, warp, fail, or cause other problems.
Like any other manufacturing process, injection moulding can create defective parts. Therefore, it is important to troubleshoot and examine each part or component for defects and address any defects appropriately.

A 26-year-old woman has been found hanged in her prison cell, the fourth female suicide victim at the same jail in just 10 months. Victoria Robinson used a towel to hang herself from a curtain rail at New Hall jail, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on Wednesday evening.
She was being held on remand on charges of making threats to kill and was on suicide watch.
Ms Robinson's solicitor said his client had serious mental health problems and should never have been put in prison. Paul Blanchard said he had begged the prison authorities to move her to the hospital wing as he was so concerned about her psychological state, but she had remained in a normal cell.
A report on New Hall last year by the chief inspector of prisons, Anne Owers, said too many women were being held "who should not be there". The inspection found that 75 new "suicide watch" cases were opened every month and 124 women had self-harmed in the previous four weeks alone.
Ms Owers warned that untrained and overworked staff were struggling to cope with the numbers of women who self-harmed and were at risk of suicide, and predicted that for some inmates, prison would have "tragic consequences".
Last year, 13 women prisoners killed themselves while in custody, three of whom were being held at New Hall.
Ms Robinson, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, was remanded in custody on 9 November last year, charged with making threats to kill.
Staff discovered her hanging in her cell just after 6pm and tried to resuscitate her, but she was pronounced dead an hour later. A spokesman for the Prison Service said: "There will be an investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, Stephen Shaw. Every death in custody is a tragedy and the Prison Service offers its sympathy to the family and friends of Ms Robinson."
But Ms Robinson's solicitor and prison campaigners said not enough was being done to care for highly vulnerable women in the prison system.
Mr Blanchard said that he had been assured that his client would be moved to the hospital wing after he raised concerns about her health. "There were issues that everybody was aware of," said Mr Blanchard. "There was a serious psychological condition and I was seeking to establish whether she would have been fit to plead [to the charges]. One of the governors [at New Hall] said he accepted there were mental health issues and intimated that he was going to put her in the hospital wing. If she had been in the hospital wing, this would not have happened."
Deborah Coles, co-director of the campaign group Inquest, said: "This shameful and relentless death toll exposes a crisis in women's prisons, and the numbers of women being sent to prisons that cannot protect their right to life.
"We are concerned that the lessons from these deaths are not being learnt and because of this, women keep dying."
The suicide rate among female inmates has risen by 200 per cent in the past five years. And in the past decade, the female prison population has more than doubled, leading to severe overcrowding.
In her report on New Hall, the inspector of prisons found worryingly high levels of mental problems, self-harm and suicide among the women.
Prison staff walked around carrying "ligature knives" with which to cut down women who tried to strangle themselves.
Every bed on the healthcare wing was occupied by a woman with a severe mental illness, but overcrowding meant that many other vulnerable prisoners were left in the main jail.
The report said: "New Hall ... is holding women and girls who should not be there. They include those who are seriously mentally ill. Staff were unable to do more than contain the level of need of some very damaged individuals."

Three women wounded in a multiple shooting at a crowded Brampton strip club early Wednesday – two of them injured critically - were patrons attending an event, not employees, Peel Regional Police said.
But there was still no word about suspects and it remained unclear whether the victims were targeted or were caught in the crossfire of a gun battle.
Shell casings were retrieved from the crime scene, and detectives were interviewing witnesses and examining closed-circuit video footage. But there was no immediate description of the shooter, nor details of how he or she fled the crime scene.
And the motive, too, remained a mystery.
"We don't' exactly know how many suspects there are," Constable George Tudos said. "There were people who left prior to us getting there."
The violence at the Office Gentleman's Club on Melanie Drive, just off Steeles Avenue, erupted shortly before 1:30 a.m., roughly half an hour before it closed for the night.
Roughly 200 people were in the building at the time, police said.
Emergency vehicles sped to the scene after receiving a 911 call from inside the club, which had undergone a recent change of management and bills itself as "Brampton's newest and only strip club. Featuring state of the art sound and lighting, combined with a modern and sexy look with large plush leather sofas."
The names and ages of the three victims were not released.
Two of them were shot in the chest and were in hospital in critical but stable condition, while the third was wounded in the arm, Constable Tudos said, adding that the club does not appear to have attracted police attention recently.
In a long stream of Twitter messages, the promoter of the party voiced condolences to the three women who were wounded, but insisted he had done all he could to keep the place safe.
The shootings took place during a popular event called "Twerk It Tuesdays" said the promoter, who uses the name Littles The General. "Twerking" refers to a provocative dance, usually by women, in which the focus is on the dancer's posterior.
"On behalf of the staff at the club, we apologize to the three women shot but we did EVERYTHING to keep ppl safe," he wrote.
"As the customer, you disrespected YOUR event," Littles tweeted to the shooter. "Anyone who smoked a joint, snuck in a lighter, a knife or in this case a gun."
In another message he said he was "praying for the girls that got shot this morning."
A lively, profanity-laced discussion ensued between Littles and his followers, and he rebuked critics who suggested he was responsible, and later suggested from now on a dress code may be enforced.
Littles said he is from Halifax, and has been in Brampton for three years. Whether Littles The General was enjoying the attention was unclear.
"How dare you quote my tweets," he tweeted to a radio station.

After the smoke had cleared Jon arose and looked around, not seeing any sign of Willis. Defeated he walked over to Eric and kneeled next to him. "Hey, you alight?" He asked as if nothing had happend. "F*** you, dude" Eric said, looking angry but obviously just messing around. "Haha, c'mon we have to go after him." Jon said as he offered a hand to Eric smiling.
The two walked throughout the town looking for their elousive attacker. Hours later they had stopped walking, "I'm tired!" Eric groned. "We'll stop for today" Jon replied. "Besides, he's probably already left town." he added. They exited the town and set up camp on a small hill.
The next day the pair had desided to move along to the next city. The travled for some time, not encountering much along their path. Although this is to be expected in a world mostly comprised of deasert and badlands. Most of the time the most fun you clud expect to have is a good kill when hunting, and thats only possible on good days. Yes this world was definitely completly and utterly garbage.

Jun 26, 2006 at 7:38 pm #1218884
Hello all,
I am new to ultralight backpacking, and have a question regarding the Golite Lair. It seems short. For someone who is using a 'long' bag or bivy, it appears that one's head would likely be exposed, which is not great in rain. Am I missing something? Conversely, can anyone recommend a similar tarp in size, weight, and ease of use? Thanks to all in advance,
DavidJun 26, 2006 at 7:51 pm #1358569
Ken HelwigBPL Member
@kennyhel77Locale: Scotts Valley CA via San Jose, CA
Well David, first thing is that when you are in storm conditions, you will be setting your tarp lower to the ground (ie the front and back) to add more protection. I am 6'1 and use a long sleeping bag and a long bivy. I have used smaller tarps (namely Integral Designs Sil Tarp) and have only had spin drift from rain really affect me. If you are looking at a 12 ounce tarp and a bivy (which I am wondering how much that weighs) you might want to look at a Henry Shires Tarp Tent or a Six Moon Designs Luna Solo. If those are too heavy for you, then look at a Gossamer Gear Spinn Shelter which is fully enclosed and adds to your comfort zone with rain.Jun 26, 2006 at 11:57 pm #1358585
Ken RossBPL Member
I used a Lair on a couple of trips and also found it short. I no longer use it for that reason. For (barely) adequate rain protection, you have to lower the peak close to the ground or close off the opening with something. If they'd just made it a little longer or added a front beak, it would have been a much better design.
If you like the GoLite line, take a look at the Hut. It's similar to the Lair but adds a front vestibule. The Integral Designs Silshelter is likewise similar.
Other tarp options abound, including:
– Outdoor Research Helium Solo
– Oware CatTarps and FlatTarps
– Granite Gear White Lightnin
– Mountain Laurel Designs
Moving up the shelter scale, take a look at the Henry Shires TarpTents. I've used the Virga and the new Rainbow and like both.Jun 27, 2006 at 6:10 am #1358588
Ken WalshMember
The GoLite Cave is 2 oz more than the Lair and significantly larger and longer. GoLite appears to be out of stock, but I do have one for sale on the gear swap forum. It is compatible with the Lair Nest mosquito nets as well.
KenJun 27, 2006 at 7:47 am #1358590
Its the attack of the 'Kens!' Just kidding.
Thanks for the prompt responses.
Ken Walsh: The Cave 1 sounds interesting. I contacted Golite and they indicated that it was slowly going out of production, although could not provide a defining response why. I will consider your FS posting.
Ken Ross: That's what I thought with respect to the length. Thanks for the empirical perspective. I will definitely consider the other tarps. Time to do some more research!
Ken Helwig: Thanks for the suggestions. The Bivy is just under a pound. I already have a BA Sarvis but wanted a sleeping system that was much lighter but that had more flexibility. Use the tarp, don't use the tarp, use only the Bivy, etc. Yet…the Luna Solo has much appeal…Jun 27, 2006 at 10:16 am #1358596

William WrightMember
I have an OR He Awning which I've used both solo and with my two children. Even with one side raised, it's a tight fit for three, but it is very deep (I'm 6'0″). I believe the Solo version is also cut very long, allowing you to burrow deep in the rain. However, there are only three tieouts on each side, so I doubt it'd do great in high wind. With 20/20 hind sight, I'd opt for a MLD Grace tarp sized for 2 or 3–lots of tieouts and inside attachment points, and a lot more versatile (i.e., in addition to length, it also has sufficient width to forego need for a bivy).Jun 28, 2006 at 7:03 am #1358634
james schardtMember
The hut is a good option. I'm 6'0″ and it is long enough for me, but I will add side pullouts because the fabric sags (and will touch a sleeping bag) when wet.
-jamieJun 28, 2006 at 9:13 am #1358643
The MLD tarps look very well thought out and address my one concern (even in their literature) with respect to usable length.
I was trying to decipher whether the lighter weight Grace tarps are extremely thin to the point at which they would not be the best bet for poor weather (rain, moderate wind, etc). Has anyone had any experience with this line?

Some of these places cater to singers every night of the week, while others only do karaoke on specific nights. Page down to see which spots made the list. Did your favorite make the cut? Did we leave out your favorite haunt? Let us know.
Karaoke gets going on Friday and Saturday nights at El Charrito in Denver.
10. El Charrito (2100 Larimer Street)
While El Charrito has been one of downtown's classic dives since it opened five decades ago, the spot made a comeback a few years ago with new owners. Sure, it's a great bar for cheap drinks, but it's also one of the few places you'll find karaoke on the weekends in the Ballpark Neighborhood. Fridays and Saturday nights usually start off fairly tame, but by 11 p.m. or so, the place is jumping.
Charolette Bemis and Tasia Sinn sing "Someone to Call My Lover" by Janet Jackson. "[My friend] Jason chose it," Sinn says.
The room empties as quickly as it fills Friday and Saturday nights at El Charrito in Denver.

Hello again! Thanks so much to those who reviewed, favourited and subscribed to this little story! It means to much to me. :) This is a little longer. Just a slow going chapter, I know, but it's all about setting the scene :) Enjoy!
"Come on, you great ugly brute! Wake up! I can't carry you the whole way back to the house, it's too far and you're too heavy," the green girl chastised quietly, adjusting the boy's position on her back. Her shoulders ached from the weight of him, but her conscience would not let her leave him to die. He moaned softly; one of his wounds was obviously paining him, even in his comatose state.
Elphaba did not know whether the site of her phosphorescent self had made the boy faint, or simply overwhelming exhaustion. She found the first thought vaguely insulting, although she couldn't blame him. People tended to reel at the sight of her, so it wasn't a new concept. The boy himself didn't look like he was from Munchkinland; his skin was darker than the standard milky complexions, and he wasn't wearing the garishly coloured garb that most common Munchkinlanders favoured.
Finally, Colwen Grounds – the home of the Eminent Thropp - came into view. Doctor Dillamond – their resident physician, and, as a Goat, one of the last working Animals in the country – was pottering around outside his small annex; he had clearly seen her coming from his high window. His large, watery eyes gazed at her in concern as she approached, and he danced impatiently from side to side in anticipation.
"Where did you find this one, Fabala?" he asked, immediately ushering her inside.
"The footpath. I was picking mushrooms for dinner when I saw him, sprawled out in the road. I think he's about my age; he's badly wounded too. I don't know if it was an animal attack or…" the girl trailed off as she deposited the boy on the table, gasping for breath.
"No, I think this was the work of human hands. The cuts are too clean, and perhaps not frenzied enough, to be animal. Someone certainly wanted him gone, though. Pity. I think he's close to the brink – I don't know if I'll be able to save this one," the Goat sighed, shining a light into his patient's dark eyes. His pupils responded, though barely. Elphaba bit her lip before she replied.
"As long as you can make him comfortable, Doctor. Make his passing an easy one; I suppose that's all that matters. I just couldn't leave him out there, it wouldn't have been right. I can't even do that to the wild dogs that kill the chickens," she murmured, half to herself.
She was a stoic child; unbendable and independent, but despite her outward harshness on the world, she had a deep affinity with other living creatures and could not bear to see them suffer. Her younger sister, two years Elphaba's junior at eleven, often called this compassion Elphaba's 'one virtue', as though it made up for her unfortunate complexion. Elphaba herself, however, viewed it as a weakness. Why, she often scolded herself, should she feel pity towards the inhabitants of a world which had been nothing but cruel to her from the moment she was born?
Much to her dismay, Elphaba felt a tear well up in her eyes as the strange boy began to thrash from side to side, groaning in obvious agony.
"His dreams are troubled. Crush some poppy seeds into the anaesthetic essence and add one torn milkflower petal and bring it here. Quickly! It will numb the pain and settle his mind. I pity this child; he must have been through a terrible ordeal." As he ordered her around, Doctor Dillamond began to mix up another concoction for the oozing wounds. He worked so quickly that before Elphaba had even managed to find the milkflower, Dillamond had administered the paste on most of the cuts and bruises. The only one left was the gash on his abdomen and the blunt force trauma on his skull.
"I know you would like to stay and help me further, child, but please go and find Nurses Wella and Omda. I will need their assistance if we are to save this child. You go about your business – perhaps play with Nessa or read to your father. On you go," Dillamond ordered, though not unkindly, trotting around to the other side of the table to continue his work. Elphaba knew better than to argue.
Elphaba found her father Frex and sister Nessarose together in the Summer Parlour, talking in hushed, reverent voices about the Unnamed God and His virtues. They both smiled widely when she entered.
"Fabala, darling. Come and join us. Your Mother is currently in a meeting with the chief of the Lollipop Guild and won't be out for a while. Did you find plenty of mushrooms for dinner? Cook was hoping so. Her casseroles are never the same without them," he father smiled, rushing on in his sweet tempered way. He was a pious man, a Minister, but never short with smiles and joviality. Despite her aversion to religion, Elphaba loved the dim little man and his other dim little daughter. She was more like her mother herself – sharp and ambitious, clever, and never one to suffer fools gladly. However, Melena had the one thing her green daughter seemed to lack – a sense of humour.
The whole family had certainly needed one, the day their eldest daughter had come wailing into the world the most unnatural colour the colour of a raw lettuce. They had never been slow to tell her that at first they hoped she would grow out of it, but had since come to accept that she was simply an anomaly, and constantly insisted that her verdant skin actually verged on beautiful.
Elphaba joined Frex and Nessarose, curling up in the window seat and hugging her bony knees to her chest. Immediately, her father picked up on her subdued mood.
"Whatever is the matter, Elphaba? Where are the mushrooms?" he asked, reaching out and gingerly patting her spidery hand. Elphaba shook him off – she did not like to be touched.
"I found a boy in the woods today. He was hurt, and I had to carry him the whole way back from Millers Pond. I took him to Doctor Dillamond but I think he's going to die," she explained, her face as hard and impassive as ever. Blocking out emotions was how she dealt with most situations. Nessarose clapped a hand to her mouth, ever the melodramatic child.
"Oh, you poor thing! Was he one of ours?" she cooed, bringing her wheelchair closer to her sister. Elphaba shrugged.
"I don't know. He didn't look like it – too tall to be a common Munchkinlander, and we know all the sons of the taller nobility. Too dark as well. I've never seen anyone like him before."
Her father thought for a moment. "Tall and dark, you say? Black hair, brown eyes, quite strapping? Well, he'll be from the Vinkus. There's civil war there at the moment. The poor boy must have escaped from his village and crossed the border. The news is that the rebels are burning every dwelling they come across. A fortnight ago they even broke into the Summer Palace of the royal family and killed every one of them, including their twelve children. It was a massacre," he sighed sadly, too engrossed in the story to see the horror that crossed his younger daughters face. Stifling a sob, Nessarose wheeled herself away and began to read a book of fairy stories, obviously horrified at the news.
Elphaba, however, was not so easily cowed. She too was appalled at the thought of these deeds, but her inquisitive mind yearned to know why. When she asked her father as much, he simply shrugged his slouched shoulders.
"No-one really knows what started it, my Fabala. One day it was a peaceful country, poor but happy, the next there were rebel groups from independent tribes rising up against the monarchy. In a way I hope this boy doesn't pull through, so that he doesn't have to remember the atrocities he no doubt witnessed."
"I hope he does wake. I've never met a Vinkun before, although I've heard of them. I've read about them – they have so many interesting customs. He could tell me about them," Elphaba said, a slight smile passing over her face at the thought of new knowledge. Frex smiled with her and nodded, praying to the Unnamed God that his blighted daughter was not disappointed.
Three days passed before the boy awoke. Elphaba hurried to see him at once, as she always did with the patients she left in Doctor Dillamond's care. He was groggy and his eyes could not focus properly, but when he saw her he made to sit up.
"What are you, creature?" he tried to shout, although only a feeble wisp of a voice emerged. He looked afraid. "Why did you take me from the forest?" His voice was so heavily accented Elphaba could barely understand him, although she could just about discern that he was in fact speaking the common Ozian tongue. She smiled impishly.
"I'm a creature of the woods who came to rescue you in your time of need," she said sarcastically, cocking an eyebrow at him. The poor boy looked more confused than ever and seemed to have no reply, so she took pity on him. "I'm the daughter of the Eminent Thropp. I was walking in the woods and I found you and brought you back here. This Doctor here saved your life," she explained stiffly, gesturing to Dillamond who was busying himself with paperwork. "And," she added as an afterthought, "My skin is natural. I don't know how I got this way, I just happen to be green. Sorry if I scared you." Elphaba finished the statement with a matter of fact nod. The Vinkun boy took a moment to let her words sink in before replying. His voice was softer still, although most of the fear and anger had left it.
"Thank you," was all he managed before flopping back down onto his pillows, exhausted. He looked around him with glazed over eyes, taking in none of his surroundings. Elphaba itched to question him about his home culture, but knew she would be immediately dismissed for bothering him. To satiate her curiosity, she allowed herself one question.
"What's your name? We're all getting tired of calling you 'the boy'."
He seemed to struggle with himself for a moment, as though fighting off some barrier in his brain. After several seconds, he let out a breath he had been holding and fixed his eyes on the ceiling.
"Ero… Or… Yero. Something like that… I think."
"Don't you know for sure?"
"No, I can't really remember…"
"Which do you prefer?"
"Um – I think – uh… Yero. We'll go for Yero."

Chapter 2.4Mature
Then she was quiet, still trembling. Alex was frozen, though his mind was not. It was racing through all the possible things they could do. They could run away, again, or they could stay and fight—and die. The first thing on Alex's mind was protecting Beth.
"Who's here?" Beth asked in a small voice. She was scared of the answer she would receive.
"His name is Roberto, though he calls himself Robert," Alex said emotionlessly, still watching Catalin.
"But who is he?" she asked.
Alex hesitated. "Just someone from the past."
Beth was silenced, for now at least. She would ask again, but till then, Alex didn't need to think about the past, about his own history, or his parentage. Twisting the gold bracelet around his wrist once again, he tried to focus on Catalin's mind, to calm her down. Then she fell into his arms, unconscious.
Alex picked her up, cradling her like a baby, still kneeling on the floor. Then he stood up and carried Catalin to her own bed. Laying her down on the bed, he had a look at the wound on her leg. It had stopped bleeding but would probably need to be seen by a doctor. Alex pulled the covers over her and pulled most of the leaves out of her hair, dropping them in the bin before going back downstairs. Beth was still sat on the sofa, looking extremely worried and a little bit annoyed.
"Alex, what's going on? If you don't tell me, I can't help," Beth said quietly.
"You wouldn't be able to help anyway."
"I can at least listen. Sometimes that helps. Please, tell me," she begged.
Alex scowled. He'd hoped that she wouldn't ask again, not for a few days. Instead, it had only been five minutes.
"And don't lie to me. I can tell when you're lying to me," she said sadly.
Alex didn't want to lie anymore. "Shall I start from the beginning?" Beth nodded so he continued. "Robert was a prince once, long ago, first in line to throne of Sardinia. When he was only two years old, his mother died, and his father – the king – fell into despair. One day, a year after his wife's death, the king was walking in the marketplace and he came across a young Spanish woman. She had light brown hair, and dark green eyes, and small freckles across her cheeks. Everyone knew what she was: a whore, a prostitute, who had to sell herself just to put food on her table because she had no other skills; she had been born into the profession, and she would die in it.
"The king visited this woman in her apartment. And nine months later, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, who both had her dark green eyes, but only the little girl had the freckles of her mother. When the king found out, seventeen years later, that he'd had two bastard children with a whore, everyone else found out too. The king eventually killed himself because of the scandal. Robert blamed those twins for his father's death.
"He was twenty at the time. The day before his coronation, he disappeared, along with his half-siblings. There was evidence of a fight, and lots of blood. But no bodies. The people he was supposed to rule declared that he was possessed by the devil and made no mention of his name in history. Everyone who knew of him died with the secret. Anyone who asked about Robert was told that he had run away, too scared to take the crown."

January 22, 2014
Why Read This Report
With a number of large outsourcing contracts in Asia Pacific coming up for renewal in 2014 and 2015, organizations are asking how they can move away from traditional, rigid engagements focused on maintaining IT systems and instead find ways to source continuous business innovation and value.

This case study describes the utility's approach to sourcing such a technology-dependent business capability and the key principles that will drive the right behavior from its IT services partner over the length of the contract.

3) Any tips to share re parking at Tanjung Leman?

I think it's stupid
how we have all these names
yet we never name our attacker
we don't name the one
who invades our dreams
turning them black and deadly
and we never want to go there
we never name the ones
who have made our skin feel like poison
and our voices like shouts into the void
how does that all work?
if it's not in our favour
what the hell is it?
if it's not the blood stopping in our veins
because we can't walk down the street
without always looking back
or walking faster than normal
if it's not the freezing in place
when someone just barely grazes you
what is it?
It's the fear
wrapped around our hearts
that we will endure it
Again and again and again
and it will always be our faults
It wasn't in our favour when we were little
it wasn't in our favour before high school
and it isn't in our favour after.
every pair of eyes like daggers
hands like fists
And the blood around our wrists
Do not tell me it is in our favour
that it is our fault
he could not take his eyes away
because he's so fucking entitled
to the body around my bones
to the clothes around my skin
and it shouldn't matter
if maybe I was a little intoxicated
It shouldn't matter
If he just thought it was okay
because I didn't say no,
maybe I wasn't conscious
It shouldn't fucking matter
Because if I am asleep
if I am drunk
I am not asking for shit
I am asking for a night to myself
even if I am surrounded by people
it can be a night for me
And some entitled bastard
will not steal more than he already has
In this age and day
It will always be my fault
Because what could I expect?
An attractive girl
Wearing whatever it was
Being nice.
Of course I was asking for it.
Whether it was in the din of the night
or the ocean of the day
I will not step around corners
expecting someone else to be around it
I will not walk faster
I will not keep my hands in fists
And I will not be nice.
I will be what I know how
And that is fierce and angry.
That is a fighter
locked inside a small body
that will not be taken down
Because someone else
thought they were better than me
And oh so damn entitled.
and you will not touch a freckle on my skin.

Wrestling matches made more exciting by Ukash Betting
We all love watching wrestling and enjoy the matches even more by betting on our favorite wrestler. There are many sports book and betting sites in which to place bets on our favorite wrestler. However, there are continuous warnings regarding the dangers of giving off credit card information on the internet; so much so that we are pushed back to rethink betting on wrestling matches.
However, there's a great way to place your bet with minimal apprehension: you can simply use Ukash, a safe alternative for betting on wrestling matches and even on other sports and even bingo. Ukash is a cash voucher that you can simply use when purchasing anything online. You buy the vouchers in a Ukash store and use their code to place bets on betting sites. You don't need to have a credit card or to divulge your card information. All you need is your Ukash voucher and you can easily place bet on your favorite wrestlers. You can find stores selling these vouchers by simply looking around your community for the shops with yellow and blue paypoint sign. It is also a popular mode of payment in many bingo sites. To learn more about Ukash bingo, go to www.ukashbingo.org.
If you're looking for wrestling betting sites that take Ukash, Betvictor is a good choice. Its offer of a free bet of 25 pounds for new customers is irresistible and still unmatched by other betting sites. Nevertheless, it is not the only bonus that Betvictor offers, as it has bonuses when you place bets on Odds of evens. Betvictor makes sure that their wrestling bettors have an easy way to place a bet on their favorite wrestlers by simplifying the betting option. You'll have no difficulty in placing your bet and it's available on mobile devices as well, so that you can place a bet anytime and wherever you are.
Another good choice is Bodog.com. What makes it an attractive place in which to place your bet on wrestling matches is the instant bonuses it offers for their first time bettors. It has a Ukash option and accepts players from all over the world. Bodog is more focused on American sports however; it has wide varieties of sports to bet on including wrestling matches. It is also available on smartphones so that placing a bet is not a problem wherever you are.
With Ukash betting, placing bets on your favorite wrestling matches is made more accessible, easy and safe.

Each Day is organized in a manner most suited to your personal interests and requirements. Overnight at Sabuk lodge the night before the Safari and on the last night.
There is a high feeling of excitement and anticipation as rosy pink streaks appear in the early grey morning light, the pack camels are being loaded up by the singing Laikipia Maasai and Turkana Camel handlers. It is cool and brisk and the flurry of colorful blankets and fireside smoke is warm. The camels chudder, gurgle and complain loudly as their loads are secured.
After an early breakfast at the lodge, set off on this amazing adventure. The Northern Frontier and Laikipia is very unspoilt and most of it remains untouched by human hand.
The scenery is dramatic, the people exotic and the birdlife, flora and fauna extraordinary.
Walking off into the vast wilderness following the camel train and the chanting Camel handlers is like stepping back 100 years. You just can't get closer to nature, peace and far away from the day to day humdrum of life. The walking in this area is not all flat; the walks follow the Ewaso Nyiro River, where possible, so there are plenty of valleys. One can ride the camels when a break is needed.
Generally the walk on this first morning is about 4 hours. There is the chance of seeing Elephant, Buffalo, Greater Kudu, Eland, Oryx, Impala, Grevy's Zebra, Burchells Zebra, Grants Gazelle Dikdik, Klipspringer, Warthog, Thompson's Gazelle and occasionally Wild dog.
As the sun gets higher and the shadows grow shorter, and the cicadas start whirring its time to stop for a break, lunch and cold drinks under a shady tree, the air is heavy and the chilled slice of Water melon hits the spot.
The fly camp is simple and comfortable, tents with mosquito net ceilings to allow for star gazing from bed. There are bedrolls, short drop loos, kerosene lanterns for lighting and bucket showers.
Out of the cook's trunks in the heat and dust appear fresh and delicious salads for lunch, freshly baked breads and quiche for lunch with plenty of chilled drinks.
During the heat of the day, it is recommended to rest on a bedroll under a fig tree drifting off into a slumber with the background noise of dreamy birdsong and camel bells as they look for grazing nearby.
After your nap and when it is a bit cooler, try your hand at line fishing for barbell and catfish. At some of the camp sites it is safe to swim in the river. As the sun begins its descent and cools, take a walk out from camp and enjoy some rock climbing, sundowners and great sunsets.
In the first campsite, it is best to remain in camp for the early evening, the local tribesmen of the area come down to the river to water their livestock; this is a rare and wonderful opportunity to observe the daily lives of these majestic people. It is a musical and colorful event and sometimes it is possible to take photographs.
The fires are lit, the lanterns set out, the camels corralled, as the sun disappears over the inky horizon. Long cold drinks, warm showers, and a comfortable seat around the fire for a pre dinner chat and a mug of delicious homemade soup whilst having discussion about the next day's onward safari. After dinner, pleasantly weary slope off to bed under the star spangled sky, with the gurgle of the river, the camels, tree frogs and fireside banter as a lullaby.
All the linen, bedding, towels are all provided on the safari.
At first light you will be served mugs of hot steaming tea round the fire, whilst the shaving and washing water is poured into the wash basin at the tents. A quick early breakfast setting of in the cool together with the guide and walking camels taking a picnic lunch and lots of cold drinks. Your walking will take you into remote areas that could not be accessed by vehicle and will immerse you in the rhythm and heartbeat of the African bush. This day the pack camels will stay behind to pack up camp and head more directly to the next nights camp site.
After the picnic lunch, slumber in the shade with a book against one of the camel saddles.
The next evening will follow vaguely the same pattern, as will the next morning and trek onto the last campsite on the edge of the river.
This last day there is not such a rush. Enjoy camp and its surroundings, after a leisurely breakfast pack up your personal belongings and walk back to camp with your guide and the walking camels. The crew will remain at camp to pack up and load the camp for its return to the lodge. You will be welcomed back at camp, settle into the gorgeous rooms and enjoy a long soak in one of the fabulous enormous bath tubs.
Useful things to bring Hats, sunglasses, water drinking bottles, comfortable shoes, sandals for the evening, sarongs, swimming costumes, binoculars, camera, good book, sketchpad, sun cream, comfortable cool loose cotton clothing, mosquito repellent.

Welcome to the newly updated S-CARS.ORG site. We're going back to our roots in 2014! When we originally created this site back in 1998 it was focused primarily on the original series of S-Cars. For 2014 we've decided to move back to focusing on Audi's legendary 20 valve five cylinder automobiles. We'll be focusing primarily on 200 quattro 20 valve, UrS4, UrS6, S2, Sport Quattro and RS2 models.
It isn't that we don't have an appreciation for the newer models, we just don't have the editorial capacity (or free time) to keep up with every S and RS model that is out there. Our Registry will remain open to ALL S and RS owners but our site content will turn towards our roots once again. We will still be posting Audi press releases regarding some of the new S and RS models but that will likely be the extent of our content for them.
We hope you like our new (old) direction and would welcome you to join our content team if you think you'd like to be a part of it. Drop us a line below if you'd like to be a content or FAQ editor.
Add Your Car To The S-Registry
Please add your vehicle to our registry. Owners of multiple vehicles will have to enter one at a time.
About the S-CAR Registry: We established the original Audi S series owner registry back in the late nineties and it has undergone several different revisions since then. We've decided to revive the registry in hopes of seeing how many of these vehicles are still left on the roads. Think of it as a global census of sorts. Please help us spread the word so that we can get as much data as possible in hopes of determining the "survival rate" of these cars. Thank you and safe travels!
Join The S-Car Preservation Society on Facebook!
Despite the snooty sounding name (hey, at least we're classy) this group exists for those of you who own one or more of Audi's vintage legendary 20 valve five cylinder automobiles. UrS4, UrS6, S2, 200 quattro 20 valve, Sport Quattro and RS2 owners are all welcome.
This isn't a group about modding for the most power although modified cars aren't shunned here. The group is about dealing with the challenges of driving and maintaining some of Audi's rarer models which seem to get rarer by the day. If you are determined to keep your classic 20 valver on the road and perhaps restore it to full glory this is the place for you.

Predicting the Belmont Stakes Winner with Machine Learning
J Thoendell stashed this in Sports
Source: http://blog.bigml.com/2015/06/05/predict...
Let's start by stating that the interpretation here is not written in stone, but rather based on a general understanding and the recent trends in the sport of American thoroughbred racing. Furthermore, none of this is meant to entice you, the reader, into gambling on this weekend's race. And none of if should be treated as professional handicapping advice by any measure.
With that said, it is somewhat expected and relieving that the betting odds are the foremost predictor for this weekend's race. If it did not show up at all, we'd be both surprised and worried about the racing fans relying on the experts' and fellow racing fans' "collective intelligence". However, the model tells us that the odds are not all that they are cracked up to be (at least for the Belmont Stakes). After all, the odds explain far less than half the variation in results and thus cannot be exclusively trusted in this case.

Fascinating. Horse odds are not as correlated with actual chance of winning as I thought.
