We are reaching out to our committed base of Anaconda Cloud users to let you know we've made the decision to deprecate the Anaconda Build service within Anaconda Cloud as of September 1, 2016. Please note that Anaconda Build is not to be confused with conda-build , which will continue to be supported and maintained as a vital community project. The remaining functionality within Anaconda Cloud will continue to be available to the Anaconda user community to host, share and collaborate via conda packages, environments and notebooks.
Anaconda Build is a continuous integration service that is part of the Anaconda platform (specifically, Anaconda Cloud and Anaconda Repository). Anaconda Build helps conda users and data scientists automatically build and upload cross-platform conda packages as part of their project's development and release workflow.
Anaconda Build was initially launched [in effect as a beta product] to support internal needs of the Anaconda platform teams and to explore the combination of a continuous integration service with the flexibility of conda packages and conda-build. While we were developing and supporting Anaconda Build, it was gratifying to see significant community effort around Conda-Forge to solve issues around cross-platform continuous integration workflows with conda and the formation of a community-driven collection of conda recipes to serve the open data science community. The resulting conda package builds fromConda-Forge are hosted on Anaconda Cloud.
We feel that the Anaconda community efforts around Conda-Forge (along with Travis CI , CircleCI , and Appveyor ) are in a better position to deliver reliable continuous integration services compared to our internal efforts with Anaconda Build. For both Anaconda community users and Anaconda platform subscribers, alternative solutions for automated conda package builds can be developed using the previously mentioned continuous integration services.
The documentation for Anaconda Build will continue to be available in the Anaconda Cloud documentation for a short period of time after Anaconda Build is deprecated but will be removed in the near future.
If you have any questions about the deprecation of Anaconda Build or how to transition your conda package build workflow to Conda-Forge or other continuous integration services, please post on the Anaconda Cloud issue tracker on Github .

Ducks come up empty in another Game Seven
By Tim Wharnsby
(Reuters) - The Anaheim Ducks will spend another summer reliving the agony of a Game Seven defeat that crushed their National Hockey League Stanley Cup dreams.
For the third season in a row, the Ducks not only suffered a Game Seven loss at home but again squandered a 3-2 series lead.
This time it was a 5-3 beating by the Chicago Blackhawks in Saturday's climax of the Western Conference Finals and there was little solace in the fact that in each season the Ducks advanced a round further.
"We got four months," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said about the wait for their next campaign.
"I'm not going to lie, it's going to hurt for a while. We truly believe that we're a different team and we had a really good chance of winning five more games." Last year, Anaheim's season ended with a 6-2 loss in the final game of their second-round series against the rival Los Angeles Kings. In 2013, the Ducks exited in the first round after a 3-2 defeat to the Detroit Red Wings.
"(We) didn't get it done," said Boudreau. "We'll have to live with that for the summer." Chicago, meanwhile, advanced to their third Stanley Cup championship series in six years, with Game One against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Florida on Wednesday.
Two key factors in Anaheim's final two losses was the superior play by Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, who scored twice on Saturday, compared to Ducks counterpart Ryan Getzlaf, and the struggles of Anaheim goalie Frederik Anderson. Anderson's save percentage over the final three games was a dismal .829.
Getzlaf had an assist on Saturday but did not score a goal and has a combined plus-minus rating of minus-eight in the final two games of his last three playoffs. Continued...

Friends, Fear and Fire
Mr. Dower sent the other two boys working away with snack trays (leaving just Benny) before he came over and sat down across from Jimmy. Benny stood nervously off to the side.
"So, I assume your visit here is about the new student?" Mr. Dower asked.
"Yup. Not sure if Benny mentioned it, but he met the new student this morning."
"Oh?" this was the obvious moment for Mr. Dower to look over at Benny with a raised eyebrow, so he did, (minus the eyebrow part, because Mr. Dower couldn't raise one eyebrow). "No, he didn't mention it."
"Well, the new student's been asking after him all afternoon."
"Joshua," Benny interrupted, surprising even himself. He was supposed to be the quivering little student in the corner and here he was breaking into the conversation. But he blundered on, a fierce, defensive pounding of blood in his ears fueling his words, "his name is Joshua, so don't keep calling him 'the new student.'"
Jimmy smiled. "I stand corrected. Joshua has been asking after Benny, and I was wondering," he looked back at Mr. Dower, "could you spare him for the rest of the afternoon?"
Benny wasn't sure if he was hearing this properly. Did this mean he wasn't in trouble or he was?
"Of course I can spare him. Now you two just run along and stop cluttering up my kitchen."
"Great, thanks!" Jimmy jumped to his feet and headed for the door, pausing to beckon Benny to follow him. The older boy didn't seem at all perturbed that his visit to the kitchen had been so incredibly brief and abrupt. Still a bit nervous, Benny followed him.
Benny walked beside Jimmy as they made their way to Joshua's room, feeling very excited and as if he were a part of something big and important. Jimmy chatted in a friendly, comradely manner. This was not at all the way most senior students usually talked to younger students like him. It felt really good to be spoken to as an equal by Jimmy, a student who had no small reputation aboard The Golden Thrush.
"You should know," he said, "Joshua hasn't had a lot of friends before. He's also been, sort of, well quiet and shy, so he's not real used to talking. I think you noticed that he's blind. But he's very good at getting around and hasn't let it get in his way or anything, so you should treat him no differently then anybody else because of that."
"Of course I wouldn't treat him differently."
"No need to get on the defensive, Benny. I know you wouldn't. Just covering the bases. And Benny, you might find that---"
Just then Walker swayed into the hallway and spotted them. "I'd hear' you'd come back, Jimmy. Decided to complete yer own vic-tory lap after all, huh? I always thought you'd been cheatin' on your tests. They finally found you out, din't they?" Walker drew out his vowels and dropped some of his consonants and was clearly inebriated.
"I don't think you should be making such serious accusations when you've been drinking, Walker. But I don't have time for a quarrel right now," Jimmy began to walk past the drunk student, Benny following closely behind. But Walker would have none of it and stepped in front of Jimmy, grabbing him roughly by the front of the shirt.
"Now, don't make me angry, pretty boy liar face," Walker slurred, his face going red and his forehead scrunching up, clearly getting angry anyways.
Jimmy did not react to Walker's actions, obviously trying his best not to make him angry. "Hey Walker," he said, his voice in control and relaxed, "you're right. I really should have just stayed off the ship. I was looking forward to a good vacation, too. But business called me back. Now, I must be off. We can talk later." He pulled away a little, but Walker just clung tighter to his shirt, the casual speech not calming him in the least.
"You're always gonna be causin' me trouble, aren't you?" He raised his hand, making it into a fist.
"Jimmy, watch out!" Benny exclaimed from where he had been standing, feeling a mixture of fear of Walker and pride at Jimmy's sophisticated response to the drunk student.
But before Walker could hit Jimmy, the bigger boy found himself down on his knees in the hallway, with Jimmy holding his arms pinned behind his back.
"How did you do that?" Benny asked, allowing his wonder full reign of his voice and staring up at Jimmy.
"Tell you later," he said, releasing Walker suddenly and hurrying down the hall in the direction he had been headed when they had been interrupted. Benny dodged around Walker and jogged after Jimmy. He glanced back to see Walker staggering to his feet, surprised and dazed.
Jimmy slowed down as they reached Joshua's room. "Whatever you do on this ship, Benny, try stay clear of jerks like Walker." Jimmy pushed open the door, and Benny followed him into the bedroom.
Joshua bounced off the bed to greet them. He was holding something in his hands, and eagerly held it out to show them. "Look what I've been," he paused, feeling for the right word, "making," he finished proudly.
"What is it?" asked Benny, looking at the mess of wires and metal in the other boy's hands.
"It's a, ro-bot," he said, pronouncing robot very slowly.
"I lent him my old robot kit," Jimmy explained.
"Cool," said Benny. "What's it do?"
"Well, it walks. An it de-tects things, too."
"And it detects," Jimmy corrected him. "You dropped the 'd'."
Benny woke up that night to the sound of shouting and the smell of burning. He jumped out of bed, grabbed his navy blue bathrobe and slipped out of his room, leaving Marc, his roommate, still snoring.
He followed nose and ears down his hall and up a floor to a crowded corridor. Just as he entered it, the fire alarm began going off. That would wake Marc up, he thought, knowing he should be heading up to the deck in accordance with the fire procedures, but preferring to find out what was going on first.
People were running here and there and Benny heard a girl's voice rise above the confusion. "Kevin White's strange behavior has now been followed by a mysterious fire in his quarters. Yes, that's right. There is smoke coming out of his room. No sign of him yet, though. This is Piper reporting live from the scene…"
She was drowned out a moment later by the captain's loud voice shouting "Everyone to the deck! Everyone to the deck!" A moment later the captain came into sight, plowing down the corridor in the path that people were quickly clearing for him. He too, wore a navy blue bathrobe, Benny noticed.
Benny slipped away, not wanting to get in trouble. But he did not head for the deck. His only thought now was for Joshua. Joshua wouldn't know he was supposed to go to the deck in a fire. And he probably wouldn't know how to get to the deck. And on top of it all, the boy was blind! So Benny scurried off in the direction of Joshua's room. He was down one corridor and up the next when someone stepped in front of him and grabbed the sleeve of his bathrobe.
Benny tripped to a halt and almost struck the boy who had grabbed him, his surprise was so great. He found himself looking into the sooty face of a boy older than him, who was wearing only his boxers. This hall was deserted. Everyone must have already gone up to the deck.
"Help me. I can't find my way out," said the boy. His eyes had a wild and slightly vacant look, and they terrified Benny. Benny looked down at the hand that was clutching his sleeve and saw that it was badly burnt.
He took a deep breath and tried to be calm and collected like he'd seen Jimmy be earlier, even though he didn't feel that way at all. "You're Kevin, aren't you?" he guessed.
"Kevin," said the boy, thinking for a moment, "yes, yes. We're supposed to go to the deck, right?" he let go of Benny and the wild look faded somewhat from his eyes. "Because there is a fire."
"Yeah, that's right."
"But I couldn't find the way," said Kevin.
Suddenly Benny felt great pity for the other boy, who seemed so lost and helpless. And those hands had to be hurting something awful. He took off his bathrobe, (he was wearing his full pajamas underneath) and wrapped it around Kevin's shoulders. Kevin gripped it appreciatively.
"I'll take you up to the deck," he said. "You'll be just fine. Everything will be just fine."
Benny led the way up to the deck, temporarily forgetting his former mission. Up under the cool stars of night, Benny and Kevin joined the crowds of students and professors that stood in little groups, in a partly ordered, partly chaotic manner.
After a few moments, Benny was shivering. Kevin had calmed down completely and seemed quite normal.
"Sorry if I frightened you," he said to Benny. "Don't know what got into me. The fire, and I ran away… my hands."
"It's alright. You should probably find the captain though; they're likely all worried about you. And they can fix up your hands, too. That looks awfully painful."
"It is." He said it so matter-of-factly, that it made Benny uncomfortable.
Just then someone shouted Benny's name. Jimmy had spotted him and was pushing through a nearby group and coming towards them. "Have you seen Joshua?" he asked.
"No," said Benny, remembering then where he had been headed when he had met Kevin. His stomach tightened. "Joshua is missing?"
"Yeah. He's got to be here somewhere. Help me look for him."
Benny didn't need the command; he was already off, leaving Kevin to fend for himself.
"I can't hear him," he heard Jimmy muttering distractedly ahead of him. "I can't hear him!"

Salmon study: Dammed or not
A river with zero dams or a river with eight may not be much different for the survival of young salmon
By Susan Milius, 17:11 PM October 27, 2008
There could be little difference in how young salmon survive their journey down a free-flowing river versus the heavily dammed Columbia River system, says a controversial new study.
A new system for tagging small fish allows biologists to monitor young salmon migration survival in a big, undammed river for the first time, David Welch of Kintama Research Corporation in Nanaimo, Canada, and colleagues report online October 28 in PLoS Biology.
The technique also opened the way for a compari...

I have been rereading Winds of War by Herman Wouk. I read it many years ago and remembered liking it. I was struck by the story of a WWII German submarine attacking a British Royal Navy compound at Scapa Flow at night, sinking a British battleship. I didn't recognize the name Scapa Flow, so did some investigating and found that the event was real, as were the entire details of the event. As I've moved through the book, I've continued checking names and events and find that the book is solid historical fiction. At my place in the book now, Germany violated their pact with Russia in 1941 and put the Soviets underseige, where eventually Germany lost. This brings me to a video-documentary that I found online – free, about the the Russian people and their yearning for 'people power,' a false hope that decimated the country under Communism.
The website linked below, has a long list of documentaries. One that caught my attention is pertinent to today's politics and the book I am reading. For three years we have listened to Obama drone on-and-on about equality, spreading the wealth, a fair playing-field, a level playing-field, and becoming more like Europeans. His background is deeply meshed in Communism, and the video I watched is, wait for it…Communism.
Obama's father was an ardent Communist; his boyhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis, an ardent Communist and his idol as a young university student and still today, Saul Alinsky – an ardent Marxist/Communist. All, including Barack Obama, advocate for a type of 'people power' as the answer to all problems, especially poverty, but anyone paying attention knows 'people power,' without a republican democracy, means only 'power in the hands of one brutal man.'
Communism is a series of several videos. The first centers on the Soviet Union and what we consider modern-day Communism. Russians who were young at the time of Lenin and Stalin, tell the story of the hopes of 'people power' with the rise of Communism and the demise of the Russian Tsars.
No matter where Socialism/Marxism/Communism is embraced around the world, we know as a certainty, none has ever worked for the good of the people, or brought prosperity to anyone, anywhere in the world.
You'll find the documentary Communism – Part 1 Red Flag, a sober refresher course in what you already know: people suffer mightly under Communist rule. In the video, you will hear a Russian saying: 'we thought Communism meant democracy.'
Visit Documentary-Log's homepage here, see their long list of hundreds of videos here, and find Downloads under the banner. I recommend Winds of War. It isn't great literature, but it is a fascinating look into the timeline of WWII, following a family head, a Naval attache and sons serving as a Navy aviator and Navy submariner.

Building Self Respect Lesson One. Step 1. Recognise when someone disrespects you and take steps to stop it.

Building Self RespectLesson One
Recognise when someone disrespects you and take steps to stop it.
People with self respect don't allow others to treat them badly and wouldn't be friends with someone who does so. This may seem obvious, but there are many times when we accept people treating us badly.
Can you think of time? Why did you allow them to treat you that way?
Many people allow others to treat them badly because they do not want to lose the friendship, they believe the person doesn't know any better, they think the person didn't meant it, or they are too down on themselves to believe they deserve better.
On paper, write down what could you say to someone who doesn't show you basic respect.
When someone disrespect you, you need to be able to say to them in one way or another, "You just disrespected me and that's not acceptable to me. If you cannot treat me with respect, I cannot spend any more time with you."
A person who has self respect don't let others treat them badly.
Stand up for yourself, but don't forget…be respectful. Two wrongs don't make a right, and it's not okay to treat someone else badly because they treated you badly.

The Nationals made a couple of roster moves today, signing 30th round pick Bryan Harper and giving Matt Stairs his unconditional release. Harper, who was a pitcher for the University of South Carolina, tweeted today that he'll be joining the Nationals and heading to their rookie ball team in Viera, Fla. on Thursday.
He's also got a little brother in the Nationals' system - perhaps you've heard of him?
The team also released Stairs after designating him for assignment on July 27. Stairs hit .154 with two RBI in 56 games, and it was widely assumed the 43-year-old would opt for his release, rather than heading to the minors.

Item description for Commentary on Ephesians, Volume 1 of 2 by Thomas Goodwin...There is nothing more, and nothing better that has been written on the first two chapters of Ephesians. All the following expositors of this portion of the Scriptures depended on this great work by Goodwin. ''Goodwin combines in a remarkable fashion two of the main qualities requisite for a successful study of theology: (1) A close attention to careful exegesis, in which every element of the written text of Scripture is the object of painstaking and loving scrutiny. (2) A comprehensive grasp of revealed truth in its entirety and in its structural relationships. In this way, in Goodwin, exegetical and doctrinal theology walk hand in hand, so to speak, every truth is substantiated by Scripture, and every text is carefully analyzed so that the verities [that it reveals may find their proper place in the total organism of the Christian faith. (Introduction by Roger Nicole). In these expositions Goodwin proves himself to be the very finest of communicators. His detailing of God's words are translated into power in the reader's understanding. The more one reads, the more the truth of God sinks in to the consciousness of the soul's ears. A holy excitement develops when one sees into the inner workings of God's mind given through the Apostle Paul as he was ''being borne along by the Holy Spirit'' (2 Peter 1:21).With Goodwin as guide, not only deep theology is taught, but very personal practical lessons are carried away to live in the hearts and practice of his readers. Goodwin gives such keen summations of each verse at the end of each chapter one may be lulled into thinking it is enough to just read the summaries. But this would leave such a one the poorer, having skipped over so many exquisite gems of scriptural knowledge as to rob himself of the richest revelations. For Goodwin roams the scriptures to reinforce the subject being discussed, scattering prisms of truth as he goes. Goodwin ''represents the cream of Puritanism, capturing the intellect, the will, and the h

Asian stocks rose as American jobless claims fell and investors weighed company earnings. MSCI Asia Pacific Index added 1.1% and pared its weekly drop to 1.4%. Nikkei 225 added 2.1%.
USD/JPY is a bit on the downside in the 102.00 region after rising from 101.40 yesterday. US dollar is holding its ground before US NFP data that may show jobs growth quickened last month.
AUD/USD found some support on the RBA statement release, but ran into sellers at $0.8975 and weakened into the $0.8950 area. The RBA repeated that the period of stability in rates is likely given the current outlook on prices and economic activity. GDP and inflation forecasts were raised due to the AUD decline. NZD/USD weakened in the early Asia, but found buying again ahead of $0.8200/10.

Nick Wingfield, reporting for the NYT:
In 2011, PCs outsold tablets almost six to one, estimates Canalys, a technology research company. But that is still a significant change from 2010, the iPad's first year on the market, when PCs outsold tablets 20 to one, according to Canalys.
That's a hell of a change, year over year.

betaread by mumblybee: thank you.
They were all maniacs, really, driven by one man's hopeless fervor, and the AI proved it. How could they not have seen? Long before armor-sheering bullets clicked into the pistols in white-armored hands, the forges had been heating up, the Director deciding that whatever hot-coal ghost tortured him should haunt them all too-
CT thought all of this with her mask hiding her face. The Director was giving a speech in front of them all, but it didn't really matter. She'd heard a lot of talks in her time about discipline and diligence and quickness in battle. She was good at them too, except for those few moments where she couldn't keep the crackling out of her voice because she wanted to be on the board, and then Wash had to be so, so whatever he was, he had to call her Connie-
No matter how much discipline was poured into them, though, each Freelancer had their own stance, telegraphing their feelings as if the armor was meant to reveal instead of hide them. The whole team stood at attention in front of a large holographic screen, waiting. A practice mission would start soon. It was a test that didn't require them to step a foot outside the Mother of Invention, but it was still, like all the missions, a test.
CT tried to stand as straight as possible, watching the others for any clues of what they knew about the things they were about to face. Maybe the Director had told some about the mission and not others. That would be his sort of idea. South's posture was all hips, one leg thrust out like a flag of defiance. York's arms were crossed, but something in his shoulders negated the closed-off impression that pose would give from anyone else. He might as well have been lying on the beach. Wash stood at attention regimented and stiff, although his hands were open and occasionally swayed slightly, fingers opening and closing as if to feel the tiny resistance from the air. CT had posture, but that's where her contribution ended.
The Director stood on a balcony to their right, but out of the corner of her eye CT saw him leave without comment and without looking back.
Wyoming muttered something about Alpha dogging the Director's heels. Delta perched on York's shoulder, looking trim and demure even though he had the same armor as all of them. Even a hologram took on its own posture. Maine growled, bug-eyed mask tipped forward in concentration.
"Ready for this?" York looked down at CT. She thought she could see the cords of his neck moving underneath the rubbery black suit.
"This is a joke," CT snapped. "Giving people with AI the same test as the ones without them? Now the Director just wants to laugh at us."
A countdown started on the holographic screen in front of them, red numbers burning down from five.
York said, "You remember that I've got one, right?"
The red lights flicked to three.
CT said, "Delta knows when to be quiet."
The hologram opened up and the wall opened with it. A hanger had been transformed into a danger zone, a obstacle course of lasers and men lurking on balconies holding paint guns and concealed suggestions of sharp things- CT charged forward, feet pounding, with York doing the same on one side and South on the other. Scarlet light lashed through the air. CT dodged three laser strikes as thick as her arms, rolling once before coming to one knee next to York. The familiar shouts filled her radio lines: "Synch! Switch!", teams forming up and splitting as quick as maps tearing.
She raised her rifle, tucked it under her elbow, and fired. It only held paint bullets, but some of the soldiers retreated. Blocks rose out of the floor, and ahead of her CT saw Freelancers split to go around or over the sudden obstruction. Wyoming skidded. The air rumbled. CT sensed someone behind her and turned to rub shoulders with Wash. His chin tipped toward the balconies and a white-armored trooper rappelled down with a heavy gun under his arm. The air was full of sparking yellow bullets and CT dodged behind one of the columns even as they started to rumble back down into the earth again, the terrain shifting as behind her she saw three Freelancers sprinting down the field. Was there even an objective here? Nothing was being relayed to her HUD map. Maybe they were just supposed to survive. Further down the room the forms were all white and silver, Maine, Wyoming, and Carolina shimmering floor-colored. CT turned a corner and, face-to-face with a trooper, opened up with chattering paint blanks that folded him over and spiked him purple. North backed around the corner in the opposite direction with a trooper following him. The Freelancer took paint blobs to the shoulders but grabbed the trooper by the helmet, pushed his face down toward the column and hit him in the back of the head. Another paint pellet secured the trooper's face to the column.
Footsteps beat like drums as somewhere on the other side of the huge room, South whooped. Another trooper dashed behind North and shot him twice in the shoulders, leaving the Freelancer's hands in the air as if he was ready for arrest. CT took one look at the paint grenade couched in the trooper's hand and vaulted the column. She barely heaved herself over the top, feet scraping at the synthetic stone. When she teetered and looked down from the top she saw that as soon as the trooper had turned his attention to North and then her he had now switched it to Wash, who was crouched and circling with the lighter, paint-loaded version of his favorite battle rifle held in one hand. Another trooper was coming around the column behind him, but Wash was facing the wrong side-
The second trooper looked up at CT just as she started to move, and she almost thought she saw a confused look on the masked face before she dove off the column.
Both troopers opened fire just as she tackled Wash under the arm and hauled him out of the path of three globs of paint. They fell apart a meter away, feet crabbing on the floor. Wash eked out, "I had him."
CT could only say, "Sure you did."
Another glob of paint pinned her hand to the floor. "Hey!", she called after the offending trooper.
Wash stood up and took off. The troopers were coming thicker, the air so full of different colors of light and paint that it looked like a party. CT whipped her feet around and hooked the nearest trooper's ankle as he came in for the kill. He dropped with a yowl, and she grabbed at the underside of his chin as he fired uselessly into the air. Another twist and she was on top of him, her hand still sealed in the paint but able to turn just a little bit. She slammed her armored knees down on the trooper's wrists. He wriggled but let go of the gun, which she locked her free hand around and dragged toward his face-
A succession of things happened all at the same time. Another glob of paint rocked CT's left shoulder from the back, completely immobilizing her arm. Wash's yellow-painted shins slammed into the ground in a controlled fall in front of her. A bright red laser, hot enough to scorch but not kill, converged with a second burst of paint as troopers seemed to come from all directions. A silver-column-colored silhouette turned into Carolina and fired off six or seven bursts that felled a trooper each. The red laser shattered the paint around CT's arm and hand. Immediately freed, she rolled over and got to her feet just as Wash stood up too. More voices were adding to the radio chatter as AI got louder and more authoritative in the increasingly crowded, hazardous battlefield. CT was used to hearing Carolina's Beta and Zeta argue like shoulder angels: CT roomed with the number one Freelancer and knew that they even kept up their brotherly banter at night, inventing puzzles just to solve them. Carolina, now as then, remained disciplined, driving the two back on track.
"Focus," Carolina told them, told herself, and CT thought it was the first time she had ever heard Carolina admit she wasn't.
Delta said, "Incoming paint missiles," to all of them, and CT saw Wash and Epsilon run across her field of vision toward them. Wash was going to try to climb, staying under the field of fire, and make the balconies before too many of his fellow Freelancers got taken out. Epsilon wasn't speaking out loud, but as CT crouched behind a column and glanced aside at North she saw Wash raise a hand to his temple one or two times, and shake his head. Something was going on there. He didn't want the others to know, and he didn't want the Director to know, for some reason CT couldn't fathom. Wash didn't want to accuse the Director, and CT did not understand that.
"We have a fifty-percent chance of three-quarters percent survival if Agent Washington succeeds in knocking out some of the enemy," Delta said.
"Fifty-percent chance of...run that past me again, Dee." York was dodging paint blobs out in the open.
Delta said, "Even if he succeeds, which is unlikely, two of us will be tagged."
Carolina said, "That's acceptable. Wash, York press the offensive. Everybody else, cover them-"
Maine charged like a bull and two of the troopers near Wash tumbled down with Maine's paint bullets on them. CT's instincts said stay back, one foot sliding along the ground as she put her shoulder to the column and lurked like she's good at, but another part of her was watching Wash and wondering how his passenger was riding him, what Epsilon was whispering that was efficient, yes, so efficient that the brain couldn't just handle it, it had gone from regimented to straightjacketed-
CT followed him. She kept lurking, shoulders hunched and high, but the nose of her rifle was up and tracking at the balconies even as Wash started to sneak up a ramp hidden behind a column.
Delta was right; the troopers saw Wash fast and sent two men down after him even as another flurry of bullets pinned Maine to the ground. CT reached the bottom of the ramp just in time to see Wash backing down, one paint blob flying past his helmet and leaving little pink streaks that she knew from experience could sting. They could get in the little spaces between helmet and neck and just burnt there-
The two troopers overcame him. Two more paint blobs caught Wash on the foot just as he was taking a step, and he pinwheeled backwards and fell three or four feet, she couldn't be sure, off the ramp. CT dashed along the other side and fired upward, getting one trooper across the face and the other on the shoulder even as he groaned in sympathy for his companion. She nearly skidded under the ramp and landed on her knees next to Wash as he was sitting up, rubbing his neck.
CT said, "Did you have that one?"
Epsilon's voice said, "Above you," and Wash grabbed her by the shoulder and heaved her out of the way even as a grenade dropped straight down and landed between them. As it exploded he got her other shoulder and turned his back to the blast, pink paint spattering him. He said, "Thanks," to Epsilon, and the AI started muttering.
"She said thanks one afternoon we had dinner in the grass we had cucumber sandwiches and a red blanket the color of the first car I saw when I walked outside and in the rain the red hood in someone else's headlight was the reddest thing I'd ever seen..."
Wash said, "Shut up, would you?" then looked at CT. He barely moved, but there was an obvious, conscious change between when he was talking to her and when he was talking to Epsilon (who still hadn't projected his hologram; Wash might as well be talking to himself.)
"Cars," said Epsilon, "I locked the keys in the trunk once and someone came to help and unlocked it with small machines, and-"
Wash did the fingers-to-temples thing again. He said, very calmly and flatly, "Epsilon."
Epsilon shut up.
CT was just watching. "Are you okay?"
"Fine. You?"
"I had them." She smiled.
He tipped his head. "Are, are you joking? It's hard to tell, you know..."
He really couldn't tell her expression under the helmet? She could tell his, and she would think that even in her small eyes he would recognize something. He seemed to recognize well enough when she was angry when her helmet was off. Maybe he needed a memo from the Director, granting him permission to understand people-
Then York and Carolina rushed in taking the balconies by storm and York trailed them with Delta spouting probabilities as Beta and Zeta just called out to him like children begging for a treat, "Delta, Deeeltaaa," friendly and playful but Delta was just trying to say "Probability of success exceeding pre-ordained predictions."
Seventeen days later Maine had lost his voice and York had lost his eye and the Director had found the sarcophagus. Wash sat on North's bed and held the lock-picking manual open on his lap, reading to try to keep Epsilon quiet. He couldn't just command the AI to be quiet any more any more. It didn't work. Voice didn't matter to a whisper inside your head, and besides, Wash wasn't sure which voice was his any more.
He read, Step One. Ascertain the situation.
Wash felt the memories coming even from such plain words. Everything had a connotation for him now, a reference that only Epsilon could understand. He was pretty sure that the memories were at least his own this time. They were from the Sarcophagus mission: there wasn't enough time for ascertaining situations. The tower was coming down and they were burning through the door and York just had to run. I just had to run. Now he had blankets pulled up to his chin in his fists and his own hands looked knobbly and old to him. Where was he? This wasn't his room although the walls, coated with Epsilon-blur, were the same corrugated-looking gray and the sheets were the same starchy-smelling regulation sheets. It was North and York's room. Wash dormed across the hall, but Maine was there and Maine didn't understand pity. He was a nice guy but he just didn't pay any attention to pity being needed. York wouldn't mind if Wash was in here. Wash borrowed his manuals all the time. York collected them, being effortlessly prepared and getting half of them for free from techs who don't need their yellowed copies any more, but Wash read them.
He tried to keep his thoughts organized.
As soon as they returned to the Sarcophagus, though, he-
it's like a cough in his throat in someone else's voice and then the Epsilon-mutter remembers and it is all syllables without connections. Epsilon remembers the Director remembering highways, back and back layers of roads stretched across a world-sized America, little whispery memories, every time the Director ever saw skyscrapers or overpasses or yellow lines-
Wash thought, Ascertain the situation.
The manual was a thin, leafy brochure like the kind he had been given many times over his years in the military, light and practical and with this almost offensive positiveness, like it was patronizing him. It said Lock-Picking on the front in Copperplate Gothic. The font was reassuring.
Step Two. The philosophy of lockpicking. It is a puzzle, a maze in miniature, and an end as well as a means.
Wash shook his head. This was too vague, too poetic. His thoughts rattled like pins. Epsilon knows a lot about philosophy, piles and libraries of books that he would read when he-
can't join the military, can't get off of Earth even, he's tangled here in the highways
Step Two.
every puzzle spread out on his grandmother's rug
Step Two...
libraries- Wash licked his lips and blinked and Epsilon subsides, still muttering high-pitched and going on about-
Step Three. Choose the proper tools: tension wrench, snake pick.
That's, there, that's better, that's ordered, it was almost numbers.
Step Four. Determine the number of pins. With the snake pick in one hand and the tension wrench in the other, check the action of the pins.
There were diagrams. Four pins in one, three in another. Simple, civilian locks that were a good place to begin.
If you are beginner, you must work much faster or you will be frustrated.
Why did whether or not someone got frustrated matter?
Wash knew that he was a beginner and then thought I am a Freelancer, I am a soldier it has been a long time since I was a beginner at anything, and then Epsilon starts remembering all the times he learned things and Wash is not sure anymore what point in the timeline he is on: he think he can remember learning how to walk but that's just memory, like anything else, and it might not be his.
He read more, and looked up because someone was cracking the door open, letting in a patchy strip of yellow light from the common room. There was a brown-armored foot in the light, and then a feminine voice and he could make out the two people looking in at him.
"What happened to him?"
"Nothing. He's fine." York was like looming over Con...CT, even if he didn't mean to, blocking her and Wash both from getting out from or into the doorway. "He locked his keys in the trunk again."
Wash read, The technique now depends on the type of lock. See page 47 for holographic locks and 49 for multiple-action deadbolt locks as used in case of vaccuum...
The shadows in the doorway went away. He looked down at the book, flipped at a couple pages with his thumb. This was nice. Now he can just think about numbers.
He couldn't sleep. He got up and went to the bathroom just to look in the mirror and check that he was still there. His head was full of manuals and locks and numbers. Maybe he could graph it all out. I'm right here on the sanity scale. It's fine. I'm totally sane. I'm totally sane.
He'd gotten himself pretty well convinced when Epsilon roused again and suddenly even though his thoughts were full,with no room at all for any to spill over, but there were always so many more. Epsilon was trying to remember something and just couldn't do it, like leaving the keys in the living room and you've got to get out of here now-
Wash remembered driving down dirt roads and then he didn't any more and then he did. Such an innocuous memory. It had been hot, one long strip of sunshine laying on his arm on the car window. It had been nice...
But it wasn't his!
Or maybe it was, and he had left something in the dust of that road and would never be able to get it back.
The worst is remembering everything I've forgotten...
Wash bent and pushed his forehead against his arms, leaning on the sink and pushing down, closing his eyes until everything was touch instead of sight, as if to remind himself he still had his own skin.
Appointments, old friends, phone numbers, the mailbox on the dusty road with her number on it-
He scraped one hand through his hair and grimaced. He couldn't yell, although maybe that would help relieve some of the pressure to talk about all these memories and stories and accusations-
He's filtering us.
Who said that again? Who...? Whose was that?
There had been a girl, of all things. The opposite of graphs and lines and ascertaining situations, she had been unpredictable. She would embrace lost keys as an adventure and forget about the locks and walk away into the world leaving the car rusting on the side of the road, because look at all these walkways-
He lost the sense of touch as the doubled memories took him. There was always this girl lurking, always one layer of dream away...
She said, "It's okay," and she brushed his hair off of his forehead. With his head in her lap and her knees pressing against
the AI port at the back of his neck, Wash could look up and just barely see her face over the bulky armor covering her chest. She craned her neck to look down at him. Her face was so serious even without the helmet, with her lips pursed and little hollows at the sides of them. He had never kissed her.
the back of his neck, Leonard Church could look up and just barely see her face. She smiled in a pained sort of way. He opened his eyes slowly, wary of what he would see. But she was real, and solid, and
"CT? I thought you weren't talking to me."
"I wasn't talking to you about the director. That doesn't mean that we can't happen to be looking at the same stars and talk about them."
"There's not much to talk about, really."
"It's a metaphor, Wash, come on."
she kept brushing her hand across his forehead. That was nice. Nice and simple and he could almost feel his shoulders relax across the
hospital bed with its crinkly white sheets. Blue curtains surrounded him; he could brush them aside if he wanted to. But people had stuck cables into his arms and into his neck, raising fresh bruises and scars, and he didn't really want to.
lounge in the sunlight in Georgia or Louisiana or...oh, he doesn't much want to think about states right now...
He just wants to think about
CT didn't gaze at the stars very often, but when she did it was a long, confrontational affair, and her glare demanded they do something better than shine.
The Mother of Invention had its fair share of windows: CT just needed to find one, so she walked and walked into the dark corridors looking for someplace where Carolina and South weren't.
In that place, she folded her arms and stared at the stars. She felt like she still couldn't get out from under the light.
The troopers had started installing scoreboards on every level. Freelancers didn't only get to look after their debriefings now. They always knew, soon after every mission, who had changed places and who still wasn't on the board.
And so, CT kept catching glimpses of that blue light in the most unexpected places. One star out there was a glimmering blue thing shedding light like fall leaves, like the little pieces that crunch under your boots.
She heard footsteps and looked up to see someone moving down the hall, slowly and stopped and looked at her, barely recognizable in the shadows except by the muddy yellow stripe. She asked, "What are you doing here?"
No answer. He moved closer, head bobbing, and she was inexplicably frightened. She had never really thought about how his position on the board meant he was so much stronger than her. But because of that, she was able to desperately throw an arm over his shoulders and haul both of them further into the hallway, out of the blue light.
"What's up, Wash?" She started to be angry at the mysterious act.
He put his arms around her shoulders and just held on, and she sank down from the weight of him. The helmet nodded against her cheek, cold and metallic. She said, "What is going on."
They have never had a grand secret tryst to hide from the others. They have never kissed. They just tend to collapse, after the arguments, in ways like this, although he was never quite so heavy.
He said, "Epsilon." And then he said, "What?"
She pushed him to his feet again.
He said, "We have to get you somewhere safe," and took her hand and started to run.
She followed along well enough, her feet padding against the ground and her mask suddenly smelling a lot like her own sweat. She didn't need to be saved from anything right now but being safe sounded nice. He took her to the distant hallway where they had patrols with York weeks ago and where they talked about the stars. He took his helmet off and just dropped it. His hair had started to go gray ever since he got Epsilon, and she couldn't help but reach up to loosen some of the strands and comb his hair back behind his ear to make it neater. He got his arms around her and pulled her close, pressing her against the armor. It was uncomfortable against her collarbone but she slid her hands around the back of his neck and his hair was soft, so that was okay, and he leaned closer now.
He said, "Allison..." and buried his head against her neck. She wondered angrily who this Allison woman was: he had never mentioned her before. His shoulders were shivering, and then he gained some control and breathed, deep, hitched and pressed his lips against her neck again in something that was less of a kiss and more of a slump.
But then he recovered again and she could feel his teeth grab her skin, slow and dragging.
She was never in love with him, really, but he was pushing against her and her hand found the latches at his back and maybe she could be in love with him being in love.
She whispered, "Who is she?"
He straightened up a little, breath damp on her cheek, and looked straight at her. "Who? You've gotta help me, Connie."
She said, "I told you not to call me that."
This whole thing was strange and frightening and she should probably be reporting it, really, but this latch right here, just twist to unhook the plates along his back and shoulders, and she had to be good at something, right? He was starting to push again, and she could be good at this.
He said, "I missed you, Allison, all this is because I," and she kissed him, clumsy and catching at the stubble around his mouth. He pulled his hands to her hips so fast that she almost lost her balance.
He said, "All this was for you," and she twisted the latch.

Metroid Prime Theme
this wiki
|This article is written
from the Real Life
point of view
The Metroid Prime Theme is, as the name implies, the main theme of Metroid Prime. It is also featured in the Opening/Menu (Metroid Prime) song in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though a narration by Jay Ward was added in the part where the opening theme is heard.
The theme is present in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc, where it is used in the chronicle while playing a movie with clips of Prime. Metroid Prime Trilogy also features the theme as one song that can be purchased in the Soundtrack Gallery.
Part of the theme plays on the menu screen of Metroid Fusion.
A few notes of this theme can be heard at the start of the Metroid: Other M Story Trailer. The music turns into an orchestral version of Vs. Ridley.
Part of theme plays on the Other M menu screen. The same part of the theme also plays at several other points in the game: during the introduction when Samus detects the Bottle Ship's distress signal, and later when she first encounters the 07th Platoon.
The theme can be heard here: [1].

Queensland State Schools
Queensland State Schools are schools that are part of the Queensland, Australia. State Government provided universal free education system.
Primary Schools cater for Preparatory Year (Prep or PY) and Years 1 to 6 (covering students from 5 to 12 years). PY, Years 1, 2 and 3 are sometimes known as Infants. High schools cater for Years 7 to 12. There have also been a few schools, usually in extremely remote areas, that provide Years PY to 10 (Hightop Primary Schools)
State education system[edit]
Queensland, Australia has an extensive State education system, which is free and open to all residents, administered by and funded through a Queensland State Government Department now known as Education Queensland and is also responsible for Training and the Arts.
The system consists of Primary Schools (see below), High Schools, Special Schools (catering to the needs of those with physical and intellectual handicaps severe enough to preclude mainstreaming) and the Correspondence/Remote support service.
The Queensland system of State School schools grew out of the National Schools program, the first of which in Queensland was established in 1850 in Warwick, funded by the New South Wales government. Other national schools such as that at Drayton soon followed. After Queensland was declared independent of New South Wales in 1859, it assumed responsibility for Schools. In 1870, State Schools became free, and with the Education Act of 1875, provided for free and compulsory education in State schools for all Queenslanders.
In April 2013, Queensland education minister John-Paul Langbroek announced that school principals will be given the right to send unruly students to Saturday detention, in a bid to reduce bad behaviour across Queensland's state schools.[1][2]
Primary schools[edit]
Primary schools tend to be more numerous and smaller than High Schools in the Queensland State education system. Primary Schools rely strongly on the support and fundraising of their P&Cs (Parents and Citizens Associations).
Primary Schools in the Education Queensland system are normally named Suburb/Locality/Town/District State School. Unlike some other schooling systems, State Schools in Queensland are normally not (re)named to commemorate significant individuals or historic events.

Saw apartment for rent on-line. Inquired and Angelo said that it was in contract. He sent me many pictures of beautiful apartments in my price range; all were acceptable to me.
I said I would take any of them. He asked for a $500. deposit which I paid.
I was re-locating to Florida from SC and wanted to avoid staying in a motel while looking for an apt.
He tried to put me in a "dump" he couldn't rent to anyone who saw it and it's surroundings. My friend went to look at it for me and strongly advised me not to take it.
So, I went to Florida, stayed in a motel and found an apartment by myself. He now refusesto give me even a partial refund.
