Consumers feel enterprise-grade storage pain
According to a notice posted on Facebook's official blog, a group of disk drives (a RAID group?) on what sounds like a clustered storage systems failed en masse over the weekend, causing 10 to 15% of user-uploaded photos to Facebook not to be available.
You may have noticed in the past day that some photos aren't appearing or are displaying a "question mark" graphic when you go to view them. We have experienced some problems with our photo storage that affected between 10 to 15 percent of already uploaded photos. Don't worry: Your photos are safe, and we are working to make them available again as soon as possible. We've already repaired about one-third of affected photos and expect to complete repairs on another third tonight.
Here's what happened, and what we're doing to fix the problem: During an otherwise routine software upgrade on Friday night, we ran into some problems with our photo storage and a few of the hard drives where we store photos apparently failed all at once. We're trying to fully understand what happened, since simultaneous hardware failures like this are rare.
As high-profile sotrage outages go, this one doesn't seem to be as severe as it could have been, at least not compared to other Web 2.0 services disasters like ma.gnolia, which wasn't able to recover users' bookmarks when its backups failed in January. According to Facebook's post, users will not lose their pictures while they try to get the problem diagnosed and repaired, but won't be able to view them until sometime next week–
We still have all your photos because we store them in a way that maintains multiple copies of the data in case of hardware failures like this. However, even though your photos are safe, we can't serve photos off the affected storage volumes until they're repaired. We're working on them right now, but it will take some time because there's so much data on them and the repair process largely involves copying huge amounts of data to new drives. This is why some photos aren't showing up right now.
We're restoring photos as we repair the hard drives, so some should be working again today and we should be back to normal by early next week. New photo uploads will continue to work properly during the repairs, because we write them to different storage volumes. Thanks for bearing with us while we return things to normal.
Storage Twitterers are skeptical about the cause of the problem. Tim Masters, Co-Founder of StorageMonkeys.com, wrote "Recovery will take until "early next week" after a "hard drive failure"? Wish I had that kind of SLA internally….most of us don't get the luxury of a week to recover a LUN or a disk shelf…"
Bloggers who aren't hard-bitten storage guys, meanwhile, had some praise for Facebook's handling of the issue. "It's good to know that Facebook maintains backups of all your data for situations like this…" wrote Adam Ostrow at Mashable.
Meanwhile, this isn't the only tale of consumer-facing storage horror to surface on the Internet today. Gizmodo also reported the saga of Nicole, who was allegedly done wrong on the backup front by Best Buy's Geek Squad.
"Best Buy charged Nicole $99 to backup her data but then replaced her hard drive without backing up a single byte," Gizmodo's Carey writes. "Nicole's service contract clearly stated that Best Buy would perform the backup before any other service. Now Best Buy is claiming that her old hard drive is their property and that she has no right to the data that they failed to backup or restore."
To me, Best Buy reserving some kind of property rights on the disk drive sounds like code for "it's gone to our after-market resale disk drive repository in the sky, and we don't know where it is." I don't think they're witholding the information deliberately or maliciously (why voluntarily create a PR problem like this one?), but I also don't think Nicole's getting her data back.
With more and more digital data protection issues like this one falling into the laps of consumers, we are probably going to eventually–after a long, slow process of learning by painful experience–see an approach to this stuff more like that of enterprise storage and backup experts, none of whom I can imagine uploading a photo to Facebook or bringing a computer hard drive in for service anywhere without making their own backups first.

As always, you can find the latest storage news, trends and analysis at http://searchstorage.com/news.
IDC: storage sales down, especially Fibre Channel
IDC's storage tracker numbers released today shows an 0.5% year-over-year decline in worldwide external storage sales in the fourth quarter of 2008.
This was the first time external disk sales declined in more than five years, yet it's hardly a surprise. Everybody knows spending dropped due to the economy late last year, and IDC already told us that PCs and servers revenues fell 1.9% in the fourth quarter. But the dynamics behind the storage decline are interesting.
NAS and iSCSI revenues continued to grow. NAS increased 8.6% over the previous year, and iSCSI was up 62%. However, Fibre Channel revenue declined 3.2%.
With smaller installed bases, NAS and iSCSI have been growing faster than FC, but FC had been growing as well. The decline of FC will likely continue in the short term, as current market conditions favor NAS and iSCSI over more expensive FC SANs.
"End users are looking for more economical ways to meet their growing storage needs as many IT budgets shrink due to the current economic conditions," IDC research analyst for disk storage Liz Connor said in IDC's press release. "FC SAN systems fulfill many high-end storage needs, but usually at a higher average price. However, iSCSI and NAS storage solution alternatives offer increased enterprise-level features at lower costs, and compel vendors to consider these technologies. Continued end user education, growing confidence in IP-based storage, increasing product sophistication, as well as a typically lower price point, result in increased adoption of iSCSI and NAS by many budget conscious end users."
The trends Connor talks about are almost certain to continue for the rest of this year because spending isn't likely to pick up before late 2008 at the earliest. But there's no guarantee that FC sales will rise when storage spending does improve. A year from now, enhanced Ethernet will be here to power not only Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) but improve NAS and iSCSI as well. Emerging storage markets such Web 2.0, film/broadcast, video surveillance, and health care are dominated by organizations that deal with more files than Oracle databases. They can do just fine with NAS or IP SANs. The largest FC vertical, financial services, has been crippled by the economy.
So even when storage revenues start going up again, FC may not follow.
NetApp previews new GUI
NetApp chief technical architect Val Bercovici let slip on his blog that NetApp is planning a new interface for Windows users of NetApp filers, complete with screenshots and feature details.
The preview is in the second half of Bercovici's post about an award NetApp won at VMWorld Europe. Apparently the judges deducted points for the management interface, so Bercovici responded with the big reveal of what's coming soon.
…our newest customers or partners evaluating and deploying their FAS arrays one or two at a time also deserve a modern interface to help them come upto speed. In the 21st century, that interface is most commonly provided by an administrative workstation running Microsoft's Windows GUI… NSM [NetApp System Manager] using the familiar Microsoft Management Console (MMC) interface with a clean and modern Windows 2008 Server look & feel.
He also includes a screencap of what the interface will look like, pointing out how systems are listed in the navigation tree with active-active pairs grouped together along with a list of their software services. NSM also integrates with the Windows System Tray to pop up 'bubble alerts' for health issues with the arrays, snapshot management, and auto discovery for authentication systems like Active Directory, among others.
Existing enterprise NetApp users say it probably won't have much impact on their environments. "In general, a GUI is a sexy tool, that all vendors like to demonstrate but a "real/old fashioned" system engineer will use it not very often," wrote Reinoud Reynders, IT manager for the University Hospitals of Leuven in Belgiumin, an email to Storage Soup. "For vendors, it's very important that they have one (for pre-sales activities), but after that, the use is less important."
More musical chairs: EqualLogic exec changes roles within Dell
One of the public faces of EqualLogic has a new role within the company that acquired it, Dell officials confirmed today.
John Joseph, formerly VP of marketing for the iSCSI SAN vendor, has been shifted to a new position as Vice President of Enterprise Solutions Marketing. A Dell spokesperson described the shift in an email to SearchStorage:
John has taken on a new role within Dell focused on integrating solutions. This move comes on the heels of Dell's recent announcement that it will organize itself around three major customer segments – large enterprise, public sector, and small and medium businesses. John's move further demonstrates the success of the EqualLogic acquisition and its integration into Dell and the importance of storage in Dell's enterprise business solutions.
Asked for clarification on what exactly "integration" means, the spokesperson offered further,
The role focuses on bringing our different products together (storage, servers, etc.) and making sure we addressing our customer's data center needs. So yes, he will still have contact with all storage products as well as servers, services, and software. Customers want a ready tested and certified IT solution from Dell and we're responding.
So Joseph will still have contact with the EqualLogic products, but it seems to have gotten more remote–or at least more mixed in with other duties. Duties, we might note, that seem a bit removed from his previous role in marketing for an iSCSI SAN platform that Dell positions for SMBs and the midrange. Presumably, enterprise solutions require some high-scale, Fibre Channel activities as well.
More importantly, Joseph was, as mentioned above, a public symbol for EqualLogic and is closely associated with that company and its products. His continued presence at the wheel following the acquisition was one of the more encouraging signs I saw for the Dell/EqualLogic integration.
Musical chairs going on in the storage industry
Two storage companies have new CEOs today. Hitachi Data Systems promoted its CEO Minoru Kosuge to chairman and picked its COO Jack Domme to replace him.
Meanwhile, Fusion-io, (the topic of plenty of coverage yesterday) has more quietly replaced its CEO, Don Basile, with its former senior vice president David Bradford.
Fusion-io didn't officially announce its CEO change, but quoted Bradford and identified him as its CEO in a Tuesday news release about its OEM deal with Hewlett-Packard. He's also listed as CEO on their executive bios web page.
Bradford's bio on the site credits him with persuading Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to join the startup. This contradicts a published report from Fortune last month which credited Basile with the publicity-generating hire.
I've seen this kind of CEO shift happen at other startups as they enter different phases, in this case from developing product to trying to grow revenue. A similar thing even happened during a transition in VMware's growth patterns last year when Paul Maritz replaced founder Diane Greene. But while Fusion-io is not a publicly traded company and is not required to announce a change in CEO, the storage community on Twitter took notice of the move with some chatter this morning.
Storage end user and blogger Martin Glassborow wrote on Twitter, "The sudden and rather stealth change of CEO is interesting. You wonder if there has been some direction issues."
StorageIO Group founder and analyst Greg Schulz Tweeted back, "Concur, some normal shuffling of people moving around, however also some attrition, RIFs, and strategy changes as you point out."
I've been in touch with several people at Fusion-io today to try to get to the bottom of the apparent discrepancy over The Woz, but have yet to hear back.
A technology deep-dive with Fusion-io
We interviewed Fusion-io Inc. CTO David Flynn for one of our news stories today–here's some nitty-gritty bonus footage on how the company's product goes about protecting data, and how that compares to spinning-disk systems.
Beth: So one ioDrive is 320 GB. Is data striped across all the chips or do you have separate data sets?
Flynn: Each one of the Flash modules looks like a volume and you can either stripe them or mirror them to make them look like one volume. Or is you have multiple cards you can aggregate all of those volumes with RAID 10. We have RAID-5 like redundancy on the chips, then RAID between the memory modules. What we've come to realize after we introduced FlashBack is that it actually lets you get more capacity.
Most SSDs are 64 GB at most—32 GB, 64 GB. With this technology we put five to 10 times as many chips within our card. That would increase the failure rate because the individual chip's failure rates add up. With our ability to compensate, we can get to higher capacities, and with that we can increase endurance, because you can spread the data out.
Internally it's more like RAID 50 because I have eight die in my redundancy chip. There's one parity die for each package. It's 24+1 and then that quantity times eight, because there's eight of those sets. If you were to line it up like disk drives, it would look exactly like that, 24 disk drives and then an extra one, 8 rows. So when we talk about this as a SAN in the palm of your hand we really mean it, because we've taken die within the various NAND packages and arrayed them together just like a disk array. It's also self-healing in that if you have a fault the system reconstructs the data that otherwise might've gone missing and moves it to a different spot and turns off the use of the spot that failed. You don't have to service it. It automatically just maps it out. Like Xiotech's ISE product—that's bleeding edge stuff for disk arrays, and it's built into the silicon here.
What about double parity protection? That's all the rage in the disk drive world these days. What if more than one die fails at once?
For us to rebuild and heal takes a split second. Having a second failure during that time is not going to happen. It takes so long to rebuild a disk drive—it can take more than a day now—that the probability of a double failure goes up. The other thing is that disk drive failures are often highly correlated—the drives come from the same batch. They tend to fail randomly but close to each other in time. Our portfolio does cover n+m redundancy as well as N+1 because we anticipate a day when we're putting not hundreds of these die on the boards but thousands and going into the tens and hundreds of thousands.
At the same time the Flash memory has finite write endurance, so they are all going to wear out at some point. So how do you compensate for that?
We account for how many write cycles it's been through so we can give somebody a running…like an odometer, for tread wear on a tire. You can go five years or 50,000 miles. We warranty it, and you can swap out the modules without needing a new carrier card. Because we have such high capacity we naturally get a longer lifespan. It'll last for 5 years even if you're doing nothing but writing constantly. Wear-out has been overrated I think because most of the failures people are seeing have nothing to do with wear-out, they have to do with internal events that cause chips to lose data.
Like what?
Here's the four factors. This is the dirty little secret of the NAND world—it's the newest fab process, which means it has its kinks. It's the tightest feature size—they're going to 32 nm. The density of the array of cells is achieved by sharing control lines. And then, fourth, and the real killer, to move the electrons into the floating gate cell it takes 20 volts internally. Most core voltages are well under a volt nowadays.
These four factors mean having a short-out event on one of these tiny little control lines—if you have just one chip it's no big deal, it's 40 out of a million. Which for a thumb drive, nobody would notice—it's more likely to get shorted out in your pocket. But when you put hundreds of them together, now you have hundreds of those 40 out of a million chances to have something go bad, and that actually adds up to be something like one or two percent of these things fielded would have a data loss event. For a normal SSD the way they compensate is to put fewer chips on it or try to sweep the problem under the carpet—what they say if you talk to them is, 'Well, we screen it very well, we run it in advance to make sure it's not going to happen.' You can screen it up front but there's still probabilities of failure.
Here's the thing: disk drives wear out, too. The trouble is, it's unpredictable. One of the strongest motivators to going to solid state technology is the predictability of when you're going to need to service it. And after a couple of years, you're going to be able to replace it for a fraction of what it cost initially.
EMC vows to fight DOJ investigation
Not a month after an Israeli news source reported that EMC Corp. had been under investigation concerning government contracts in Israel, EMC revealed in its annual report filed with the SEC that it's under investigation by the Civil Division of Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ investigation involves "allegations concerning (i) EMC's fee arrangements with systems integrators and other partners in federal government transactions, and (ii) EMC's compliance with the terms and conditions of certain agreements pursuant to which we sold products and services to the federal government, including potential violations of the False Claims Act."
There's no relation to the Israeli investigation, according to an EMC spokesperson. In another contrast with that case, in which EMC flatly denied comment, this time the company is flatly denying any wrongdoing will be found by the DOJ. "EMC did not make improper payments to business partners and did not violate the False Claims Act," wrote the spokesperson in an email to SearchStorage.com. "The matters at issue in this case are historical in nature; some of the allegations relate to events nearly ten years old. We will vigorously defend this case and the many years EMC has spent serving the U.S. Government…"
The SEC filing reads,
The subject matter of this investigation also overlaps with that of a previous audit by the U.S. General Services Administration ("GSA") concerning our recordkeeping and pricing practices under a schedule agreement we entered into with GSA in November 1999 which, following several extensions, expired in June 2007. We have cooperated with both the audit and the DoJ investigation, voluntarily providing documents and information, and have engaged in discussions aimed at resolving this matter without any admission or finding of liability on the part of EMC.
HP sweetens deals during recession
Storage vendors are announcing new deals in an effort to make their enterprise goods more tempting amid slashed storage budgets. Today, HP confirmed it is extending a 0% financing deal it had previously been offering with its servers to storage.
According to an HP spokesperson, the HP storage products included in this program are:
The move comes after HP reported double-digit revenue declines over most of its lines of business for its first fiscal quarter. The Enterprise Storage and Servers (ESS) group was no exception, with revenue of $3.9 billion, down 18%. Within that, storage revenue fell 7%; overall profit for the group was also down 14%.
HP joined NetApp in reporting earnings declines in a fiscal quarter that included January. (Interesting aside: Dell reported that its storage business, especially its low-end PowerVaults and EqualLogic midrange iSCSI SANs, did relatively well for its first fiscal 2009 quarter, with business up 7% though overall earnings slipped).
But in a recession this deep, some federal interest rates have also been cut to zero in the hopes of getting business moving again. Housing prices are so depressed that theoretically, they should be affordable to a whole new class of buyers. But neither of those things–and so far, all the King's horses and all the King's men–haven't done much for the markets, if only because everyone who still has a job is so afraid they'll lose it by the end of this year that they aren't spending, no matter how good the deal is.
Many enterprise storage users seem to be in a similar boat–these financing deals, like low home prices, would be irresistible in better times. Ironically, in bad times, they may not be enough.
Data Domain revs its dedupe engine
Data Domain is bumping up its deduplication speed with an operating system upgrade.
Moving from OS 4.5 to 4.6 will improve the speed of Data Domain systems from 50% to 100% depending on the protocol and network interface, according to the vendor's VP of product management Brian Biles. The greater speed comes from code tweaks in the OS that lets multi-core CPUs support more parallel streams.
The improvement with OS 4.6 is greatest for systems running 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Symantec's NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) interface. For instance, max performance for the DD690 – Data Domain's largest system – goes from 1.4 TB per hour to 2.7 TB per hour for a 90% increase using the new OS, according to Data Domain's estimates. That's with 10-GigE and OST.
Is speed all that important for dedupe? Throughput often gets lost in the debate over dedupe ratios and the inline versus post-processing argument, but analysts and customers say speed is a major selling point for dedupe systems. Speed is plays a big role in Data Domain's inline deduping, which risks slowing backups because it dedupes while backups are taking place.
"Faster equals more data processed, which equals more data reduction," Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Brian Babineau says. "Performance improvement is a means to other benefits, including storing more data in smaller footprint."
Rich VanLare, Network Administrator for shopping center developer Regency Centers, has been using a Data Domain DD690 with NetBackup and OST since last October and was blown away by the speed with OS 4.5. VanLare says his goal was to decrease backups to below nine hours, and is down to five hours since replacing tape with the DD690. VanLare says he'll upgrade to 4.6, but he's happy with his current system.
"The box is incredibly fast to begin with," VanLare said. "Personally I don't need it [improved speed] because it's already exceeded my expectations."
VanLare, who claims to get more than 90 percent compression, said the OST option was the main factor he choose Data Domain over VTLs from NetApp and Overland Storage.
"I have a lot of administrators getting into the interface, and I just wanted things to be simple," he said. "OST tells an administrator exactly what happens if something fails."
VanLare biggest concern with Data Domain is he won't be able to add a second box at a DR site until the economy improves. "I wanted to do that this year," he said. "With budgets as they are, I'm not sure that's going to be approved."

After one for Mum and Dad, Swift buys herself a new pad
Country-pop singer Taylor Swift, travelling the world with her hit Speak Now tour, is rarely in her home town of Pennsylvania. But wearying of the luxury hotel lifestyle may have prompted her to buy a £2.2 million, 1.5-acre Beverly Hills estate.
There is plenty of room for her bandmates at the 1941 property during her Los Angeles gig dates in August — the four-bedroom home has a guest house in its grounds. Swift will be in the master bedroom with its kingsize four-poster bed, soft carpeting and black and cream-etched wallpaper, when she's not relaxing in the wood-panelled library or exercising on the tennis courts.
Having just bought her parents a £850,000 pad in Nashville, it looks like she is on a property roll.

Cheesy Alex churns out music in the Cotswolds
Blur bassist Alex James is set to welcome thousands of visitors to his Cotswolds home from September 9 for his harvest food and music festival. The four-day event, which has the likes of KT Tunstall and Richard Corrigan on the bill, will be held in the grounds of the celebrity cheesemaker's farmhouse.
But alongside preparations, the 42-year-old father of five is also hoping to find the time for renovations. He wants to convert a two-storey stone barn at the farm near Kingham, Oxfordshire, to create an indoor play area for his kids and, ideally, wants to knock up some tennis courts.
Sophia: 'I'll clamber on to the property ladder all by myself'
As the average age of the first-time UK buyer creeps up to 38, a handful of twentysomethings are still managing to scrape together a deposit. BBC3 series Young, Rich and House Hunting has been following lucky — and loaded — young buyers in their search to find the perfect pad.
One of them is 24-year-old PR girl Sophia Shepodd — and she's not happy. "I didn't find the right place because the one I was interested in, an £860,000 apartment in Hampstead, needed an astronomical amount spent on it," the businesswoman, who also owns a wine importing company, tells me. For her, north-west London is a must. "I was brought up in Regent's Park and St John's Wood and lots of my friends live nearby. It has a nice, village feel and is very close to the buzzy bits."
In the show her mother says she will help her out financially but Sophia, insists: "I work extremely hard. The show put me in the same boat as kids just taking money from their parents. I might need a little bit of help but I am not being bankrolled."
'I'm in' to property says Dragon
James Caan is best known for his Dragons' Den investments but London property developers could soon get a helping hand from the famous entrepreneur, too. His company, Hamilton Bradshaw Real Estate, is keen to invest "finance and expertise" in the capital's "most progressive" property projects.
He tells me: "With banks holding back from funding new property projects, we have a fresh initiative that will capitalise on a gap in the market in the prime London property industry. Property entrepreneurs with access to off-market residential and commercial deals are encouraged to approach us." Over to you, then.

I need you????
Talk about co-dependency central. I was enjoying the post until there.
That is the most common idea that plagues modern relationships, our lovers are not our parents, we don't need them. Grow up.
middle-aged couple sat in a marriage counselor's office. "I don't understand why we waste our time here; our marriage is already over," the woman cried, her husband shifting uneasily in his chair. "My husband, he doesn't love me."
"What are you talking about," the husband said, turning to the counselor, "I don't know why she says things--"
"Because you do not!" she interrupted. "After 15 years, you just do not love me any more." The bickering continued, with the wife claiming her husband no longer loved her and the man continuing to defend himself.
"Do you tell your wife that you love her?" the counselor asked the husband.
"She knows that I love her! I come home every night, don't I?" he answered, "I give her money to buy anything she wants. I agreed to come here to talk, and ah...I, ah..."
"Yes," the counselor interjected, "But do you tell your wife 'I love you'?" The couple looked at each other, the woman shaking her head.
"Well," the husband said, "Why do I have to? Isn't it obvious?"
Obviously, it's not
People need to hear the actual words. In the beginning of our relationships, we send cards describing our love and send flowers when we are sorry. Over time, not only do we forget to give our partners small gifts of affection, but sometimes, we forget to say how we feel. There are sixteen essential words that we must make an effort to say to our loved ones every day or whenever appropriate.
I love you.
Say the words before leaving for work and when you come home. Say "I love you" before hanging up the phone or after a particularly inspiring conversation. Say them just because. Every marriage needs a daily dose of these three important words. And do not worry; saying, "I love you" often is never a bad habit to have. Even if we are upset with our spouse that day, saying "I love you" may help us forgive them.
I am sorry.
"You forgot to buy milk," your spouse complains the second you walk in the door. Say I'm sorry. "You didn't clean my shirt. I have nothing to wear," your partner comments. Say I'm sorry, and try to mean it. We do not help anyone by defending ourselves, only our ego's benefit. And avoid the word "but"! This can kill our apology. To our lover's ears, "I'm sorry but..." translates to "I'm not really sorry, and I am just saying I'm sorry to allow myself to give an excuse."
There are times that our partner's comments are untimely, or perhaps, we feel every other word is a critical remark. In these cases, we should set aside a better time to discuss the problems rationally. Right after our spouse presents his or her problem is not a good time, and we may start an argument unintentionally.
I understand.
How many times has this happened to us: You are sitting at dinner, and in casual conversation, you complain, "Last night, I just did not get enough sleep, I'm so tired lately." And your spouse responds, with good intentions, "I am also tired." Or "Well, that is because you stayed up so late playing on the computer again." How does this make you feel? Not very good!
When our lover comes to us for sympathy, a simple "I understand" can really help. Claiming that we also have the same problem translates as "So what? I feel the same way and I am not complaining!" And advice should only be given when asked.
You are beautiful.
Or cute, handsome, sexy--whichever words are appropriate. When we first start dating, we hand out compliments daily. After awhile, sometimes, we forget. Maybe we assume that our spouse already knows how we feel, or maybe we do not think they need us to tell them. Tell them. Women in particular need to be reminded, especially during pregnancy, after giving birth and on birthdays! Men also need to be told they are attractive, though they may not admit it! A compliment a day improves our intimate lives in ways we can not even imagine. If your spouse is not feeling sexy, why should they want to make love to you?
I need you.
Dr. Evil said it best, "Mini-Me, you complete me." We need to let our spouse know that we not only appreciate them, but we need them. Tell them that we can not imagine our lives with out them. We might remember to mention this on anniversaries or birthdays, but why not let our spouse know every single week? Certainly, we feel that we need our spouse more than once a year! If this is too difficult to say out loud, then send them an email. Write them a note and slip it into their briefcase, lunch box or purse. Just like women need to hear they are still attractive, men particularly need to know their wives depend on them.
Thank you.
Why is it that strangers, the cashier at the supermarket and co-workers receive our thanks every single day, but our spouse rarely hears the words! Thank your spouse for making dinner, washing dishes, and keeping the house clean. Thank your partner for bringing home a paycheck, buying our favorite desert and coming home. Again, if we feel weird saying "Thank you for bringing home a paycheck," or whatever the case may be, write it down! Be romantic and send your spouse an e-card or put a sticky note on the bathroom mirror.
We must add these sixteen very special words to our lives. We may be amazed at how much peace will result from such simple additions to our vocabulary!

There is nothing wrong with needing someone or them needing you.People depend on people everyday in some way.This was not put across as a co-dependancy situation at all and is clear it is not meant as so. Looks like someone missed the boat on this one.


text: REDONDO BEACH, Calif., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is dominated visually by the tennis-court sized sunshield, which separates the observatory into a warm sun-facing side and a cold anti-sun side. Each of the five sunshield layers helps to protect the telescope optics — or mirrors — from the sun's heat. Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) and teammate NeXolve Corporation, a subsidiary of ManTech International Corporation (NASDAQ: MANT) based in Huntsville, Ala., completed the manufacturing of all template layers for the Webb Telescope sunshield. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/LA98563LOGO) Photos accompanying this release are available at http://media.globenewswire.com/noc/mediagallery.html?pkgid=21042. The template layers are the last step before manufacturing the final flight sunshield layers. After successful completion of a manufacturing readiness review, the team is now ready to produce the final flight layers. Northrop Grumman is under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., for the design and development of the Webb Telescope's optics, sunshield and spacecraft. NeXolve is subcontractor to Northrop Grumman to manufacture the one-of-a-kind sunshield membranes. The sunshield template layers have the same design and manufacturing processes as the final flight layers. Each layer has been individually shape-tested to verify that they were built to requirements. As all five template layers are being subsequently tested at Northrop Grumman's Space Park facilities to ensure the membranes meet flight performance requirements, NeXolve is beginning manufacturing of the final flight layers. Technicians at Northrop Grumman are also practicing folding and unfolding the five layers by hand on a test bed. "We try to do things early on to eliminate risk. We want to avoid changes to the schedule and design modifications later in the process, so these tests and processes are critical and give us confidence that we can execute on the final flight layers," said Jim Flynn, Webb sunshield manager, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "We have to take a step back and remember that this has never been done before, so we need to build confidence that what we're innovating and designing will work." The Webb Telescope will primarily observe infrared light from faint and very distant objects. In order to detect infrared light, the optics have to be cold; thus, the sunshield passively cools the telescope to a temperature of -375 degrees F, preventing the observatory's own heat from "blinding" its infrared sensing instruments. The sunshield membrane layers, each as thin as a human hair, are made of Kapton®, a tough, high-performance plastic coated with a reflective metal. On-orbit, the observatory will be pointed so that the sun, Earth and moon are always on one side, with the sunshield acting as an umbrella to shade the telescope mirrors and instruments from the warmer spacecraft electronics and the sun.

Remember the gratuitous squirrel with the massive plums from a couple of series ago? He is – they are – to blame. As are Mel'n'Sue, sprinkling a light dusting of innuendo on to just about everything. That's maybe why I find it hard to watch Bake Off without seeing a suggestion of naughtiness that might not actually be there (to be honest I think it's probably more about the Benny Hill in me than anything else). And I'm afraid it's carried over to The Great British Bake Off Christmas Masterclass (BBC2) too.
"For me, once the tree's up, which I think is a big part of it, I can then become Santa Claus," says kitchen sex god Paul Hollywood. Once THE TREE'S UP! (Well Paul, if you had a healthier diet, not just cakes and cream, you might find the tree went up quicker, if you know what I mean.) Which is a BIG PART of it. Then you dress up as Santa? I imagine straight women and gay men are fainting at the very idea of Paul in his fur-lined red suit, tree up.
TITS! Blue ones (well, it's cold outside). And they are at the bird feeder, in the same cutaway shots of nature that Squirrel Nut-King played such a starring role in before. Don't tell me they're not in there because they're called tits. There'll be a woodpecker along soon ...
It's pathetic, I know. But without the contestants and the tears and Mel'n'Sue doing silly gags, these Bake Off Masterclasses are as dry as old raisins. Mary Berry can soak them – as well as herself – in as much brandy as she likes, but they're still raisins. I don't like raisins, or currants, or sultanas, of which they are many in this show. I shudder at the thought of Christmas cake, and Christmas pudding, and mince pies ...
I can see a problem with Mary's Classic Christmas cake straight away; it needs to be made at least three weeks before eating. When you factor in the three days the fruit has to be soaked, and the three days you have to put between the marzipan and the icing, well, even if you start your cake today, the earliest it's going to be ready is around two weeks into next year by my calculations. Merry mid-January.
Alongside Christmas cake on any festive spread, we're told, should be the classic mince pie. Mmm, more dried fruit, and butter. Here's a food historian, to tell us a little of the history of the mince pie. In Georgian times, elaborately shaped mince pies reflected exactly what was going on in wider society, she says. "When you have lots of small beautiful pies forming a whole, those small beautiful pies reflect the small beautiful diners sitting around the edge. On a wider level as well, pies could be used very much to point up to the guest of honour, so if your pie is pointing at your guest of honour, it's a clear indication that this is the person to be honoured ..." Really? But the French Revolution and the social turmoil in Britain put an end to the elaborately shaped mince pie. "Round Victorian pies reflect the sense that no longer should we create divisions ..." Shut up! I think she's talking bollocks now.
It may have taken 500 years for the mince pie to evolve, but Paul's pies can be on your table in an hour ... Yeah, but they can't really, can they? You know that once you've got everything together, and cleared it up at the end, the best part of an afternoon will have gone. And for what? No one really likes mince pies, do they? So we eat 70 million a year. So that's about 1.1 each, and only out of some sense of tradition. Don't tell me you wouldn't really rather have a chocolate brownie. Or even a flapjack.
Mary's log – sorry, Bûche de Noël – does look good. As do Paul's turkey leftovers Chelsea buns. Nice buns Paul ... sorry, we're back here, it's sad, I know. But without the drama of the competition (Paul and Mary's gentle banter doesn't really do it, I'm afraid), it's the only place to go. Now he's kneading his dough, expertly, masterfully, in control, by hand because he knows – he remembers, from experience, from touch – when it feels just right …
There's no turkey, or butter, probably not much innuendo either, in Wartime Farm Christmas (BBC2). It's 1944, the ladies of the Women's Voluntary Service have come to prepare meals for the 15,000 people spending Christmas underground in Chislehurst Caves, hiding from German V2 rockets. I'm not sure about the carrot "fudge" (grated carrot in gelatine), but the baked rabbit with a celery and parsley stuffing looks delish. There's even a mug of potato beer (mmmm) to wash it down. And lashings of Blitz spirit, of course.

This Weekend's New York Times Magazine brings an interesting story about the seemingly bulletproof business model behind American matzo manufacturing. The problem is that it omits a key ingredient in the global matzo marketplace: Israel.
Every year for one week, about 2% of the U.S. population is forced to buy matzo, says writer Adam Davidson. Because kosher food production is costly and complex and requires knowledge of Jewish law, it's almost impossible for big U.S. companies, such as Kraft and Sara Lee, to compete.
"As long as they don't change Passover, we have built-in sales," Aron Yagoda, co-vice president of the Lower East Side matzo manufacturer Streit's, tells the Times.
But as the Forward reported on April 6 Streit's built-in sales are crumbling.
Yagoda's cousin, Aaron Gross, who also runs the family firm, told the Forward that one of the company's biggest customers, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, ordered one-fifth the amount of matzo this year compared with last year.
The reason is that big supermarkets, in their cutthroat competition for the kosher consumer, routinely discount or give away matzo. And in order to be able to afford to do so they are turning increasingly to cheap Israeli imports.
This year, a five-pound bundle of Israeli matzo cost about $6 wholesale compared to about $10 for the same bundle of American matzo, kosher food consultant Menachem Lubinsky told the Forward.
Lubinsky said Israeli brands captured 40% of domestic matzo sales last year compared to 28% of sales in 2009.
"If your business is easy to replicate, then someone, somewhere (probably China) is going to undercut you," Davidson correctly asserts in the Times.
It's just not China that U.S. matzo manufacturers need to fear, but somewhere closer to American-Jewish hearts — and stomachs.

Sophomore guard Ramello Williams was perfect from the field and converted on all nine shot attempts to finish with a game-high 18 points as the New Hanover boys defeated T.C. Williams 53-37 in Trask Coliseum.
"We definitely need to play with more intensity if we want to compete tomorrow," said New Hanover Coach Kirk Angel. "I don't know whether it was the early start on a Monday after the holiday or what, but we will need to bring it from the opening tip or we'll get blown out by Cary."
The Titans went just 4 of 19 from long range and recorded four total points over the final eight minutes of regulation. T.C. Williams trailed for nearly the entire game thanks to a quick start by New Hanover. With the scored tied 4-all, the Wildcats went on a 13-2 spurt thanks to selfless play on the offensive end of the floor.
A three-ball from the corner by Blake Smith started the push and an assist from Acchaeus Fields to Williams made it 17-6 late in the opening period before Tavaris James grabbed a steal and lay-in to keep it a single digit deficit headed into the second quarter.
Shaq Hampton knocked down his only three-ball of the game to make it 20-12 and good ball movement between Hampton and Malique Jacobs resulted in an easy basket for Williams as the Wildcats stretched its lead to 23-14 with under five minutes to play in the first half. A three-pointer by James kept T.C. Williams in striking distance until New Hanover used a 10-0 run late in the period to take a 33-17 advantage.
Hampton finished with 14 points for the Wildcats, while Fields pulled down eight boards and closed with four assists.
James knocked down his third three-ball to get within nine at the 1:40 mark in the third quarter and Jordan Jones hit two foul shots to make it a seven point deficit with under a minute to play in the frame before New Hanover clamped down on defense.
With a 10-point lead headed into the fourth quarter, the Wildcats made it 49-35 on a rebound and put back from Hampton. Taylor and Jacobs sealed the result midway through the period with quick passes in the paint and a good look to Hampton for the finish.
New Hanover moved to 9-2 overall and take on Cary in the semifinals at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. T.C. Williams faces Laney at 4:30 p.m. in Hanover Hall on Tuesday.

The high cost of the erosion explosion
Up to one-third of drinking water doesn't reach consumers because of leaks, and degraded materials account for 3% to 4% of the gross domestic product of industrialized nations. That's why the World Corrosion Organization has deemed April 24 the first Corrosion Awareness Day. Visit www.corrosion.org.
All-natural water treatment improves pools
Joining the elite company of Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps and 23 others, David Knighton, MD, co-founder and president of Creative Water Solutions LLC, has been named to the "Power 25" by Aquatics International for developing an all-natural pool and spa water treatment system that uses a species of Sphagnum Moss to treat water and dramatically lessen the amount of chemical loads, maintenance time, and the irritating and often costly side effects to swimmers and systems caused by conventional water treatment products. For more information about the method visit www.cwsnaturally.com.

Chapter 49
At Slopes each of the women enjoyed a Black Diamond. Clara giggled and said that she didn't know whether or not she should even be drinking one considering all the painkillers that she was on. She said this and then she shrugged barking "What the hell." before taking a sip. Everyone laughed.
"So." Myrah smiled as she twirled her hair with her fingers. "What's the deal with Dan's new face?"
"You saw it?" The woman asked looking up.
"I didn't." She corrected. "Jack did. He said that he looked like a teenager."
Clara shook her head angrily. "I hate it." She spat. "This is actually his second new face and it's the worst one yet. It's ridiculous. Jack's right, he looks like a stupid kid now."
The force that she answered the question with took them all by surprise. Both Jill and Myrah exchanged glances. It was like they were back in the grocery store looking at that detergent box with the cute little dog on it again.
Jill let the moment pass. "He's had plastic surgery before?" She asked as she timidly leaned forward.
Clara nodded. "It's all a part of what he does."
"To look so good?"
"To keep a face."
The girl hesitated. "I don't understand."
"It's because of his job." The woman sighed. "Every once in a while he needs a new face."
Myrah cocked her head. "What the hell is Dan's job anyway?" She asked.
The question had long been part of the mystery of Clara's marriage. Before his accident Dan had come and gone from the house as if he were going to work but nothing much was ever said about what he did. It was largely agreed by everyone in the neighborhood that she supported him using what she made through her advertising company although Jack had once said that he'd heard the man mention insurance before.
"He travels." Clara answered vaguely.
"In a sense." She winked.
Myrah shot her a questioning look.
A girl wearing fur lined snow boots licked her lips and laid an order of cheese fries down before them. "You guys are my milk run." She smiled.
It was still early in the day and the trio had practically opened up the restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were putting on their caps and parkas when they'd arrived. They ignored the trespassers using their own accents to chat back and forth about seating assignments and duties. It was remarkable how much they sounded like local kids instead of Colorado snow jocks when they were out of character.
Jill took a sip. "An insurance salesman." she nodded. "They can make really good money."
"He's not a salesman." Clara said bitterly.
"An adjuster?"
The woman shrugged. "I couldn't even begin to tell you what an adjuster does."
"Well, what the hell does he do in insurance?" Myrah asked. She grabbed a fry from off the plate and popped it into her mouth.
"His job is all very hush-hush."
"Why is it such a big secret?"
"It's stupid." Clara shrugged. "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you." She made a dramatic display of putting her fingers against her swollen lips.
The women had never seen their friend this incapacitated before. She had always been the one in control. She grabbed products from off of shelves and dissected them with her pen. She told everyone what they wanted to buy. She had a no nonsense hair-do and bad taste in clothing. She shouldn't have been sitting here confused, beat-up and helpless.
The builder's wife shrugged. "Okay so he doesn't work in insurance then." She said dismissively. "Why does he keep getting new faces?"
Clara laughed. "Explosions, knife fights, barroom brawls in seedy third world villages using assumed names and identities."
Both Myrah and Jill leaned away from their drinks fixing the woman with a pair of wide eyed stares.
"He's a fighter?" Jill asked in genuine surprise.
"He's a killer."
There was an icy silence. A group of senior citizens began dismounting off of the ski-lift up front. The robotic moose saw them and said: "Here come the Bunny Slopers."
"His first face was rugged." Clara continued using a whimsical tone. "He had a big nose and scars on his cheeks. He was fatter then too before they cleaned him up."
"Who cleaned him up?" Myrah asked.
"Doctors in rooms." The woman answered with a wave of her hand. "I don't know. People that the government always sends to patch him back up again after one of his accidents. He had to have six inches of intestines removed that time. It took him almost two years to recover."
"Six inches of intestine." Jill said in amazement.
Clara nodded. She made a display of looking at the lights spinning around the room. She struggled to grab her straw and take a drink. She winced as she shifted her weight on the chair.
"What caused him to have to lose six inches of intestine?" Myrah asked seriously.
"A car bomb."
Jill sat up straight in her sear. "Oh my God!" She said. Her mouth droped open in amazement.
Myrah laid a hand down on the table. "Where?" She asked.
"This was in the mid-90's between the Iraq wars." The woman explained casually. "He was in the Middle East on some kind of a peace keeping mission. It was some street in some town. They never saw it coming."
Myrah tried to envision the scene. She saw Dan, in his loafers, wearing a golf shirt with a designer's logo on the chest. He stood on a dusty corner where children were playing and vendors were selling their wares. He was telling a group of mercenaries clad in body armor and holding high powered weapons about his most recent fishing trip. A car off in the distance had explosives hidden beneath the frame. It sat counting down. BOOM!
"Who's they?" She asked.
The woman nodded. "Others like him."
"You mean he's some sort of secret agent?"
"You didn't hear that from me." Clara said. She took another drink and shook her head. "Besides, he's not anything anymore. Everyone hates his new face. That's part of why I was in Washington D.C. I was trying to get the people where he works to warm up to his new face."
"Where does he work?" Jill asked.
"He doesn't work anywhere now." The woman shot back a little more insistently. "He was fired because he looks like a 14 year old."
No one but Clara, Jack and Wallace had seen Dan since his accident. When Jack had laid next to Myrah on the night that he'd given them all cards he said that running into Dan in the kitchen had been one of the most shocking experiences of his life. He described the man as seeming to have lost all sense humor. He said that he thought that Dan was like a kid with some kind of weighty objective and a great deal of malcontent in his soul. He told her that he'd left the Get Well note on a table by the door.
"The first time that I saw him after he came back," Clara continued. "I thought that they must have sent home the wrong patient. They took the bandages off and there was this kid staring back at me. He smiled when they showed him himself in the mirror. He asked me for a hug but I didn't know how to give one to the kid who was there looking up at me from the bed. It felt so strange."
"What happened to him this time?" Myrah asked.
Clara sighed. "Special forces raid the home of a high level terrorist in Jordan. Six are killed and one is sent home with serious injuries. The general comes by later with a blue marlin to mount on the wall."
They all took a sip from their drinks. Myrah just couldn't believe any of this. To her, Dan was a playful doofus. He was a guy who talked football and caught big fish's while vacationing in the Caribbean. He wasn't a secret agent. This had to be part of the medication talking.
"Are you sure that you want to finish your drink?" She asked her friend.
Clara nodded.
The woman was obviously in a state of mental bewilderment and physical agony. She was loopy from the flight and the pills. She was fascinated by little things. She was either being completely honest or living in a fantasy world. She grabbed a fry and chewed it using only one side of her mouth.
"To tell you the truth, I never really cared for Dan's second face." She said dabbing at a spot on her swollen jaw. "You marry one person and you expect them to be that person forever. When he came back to me looking like a model out of some magazine I just could never reconcile that with the rugged man that I had married. That's when I told him to leave the business."
"The secret agent business?" Jill asked.
Clara laughed. "He was never a secret agent."
"But you just said that he worked around car bombs and terrorist."
The woman shook her head. "I said that he worked in insurance."
"Actually," Myrah interrupted. "You didn't really specify where he worked."
Clara looked at her with glassy eyes. "Insurance." She said evenly.
All that Myrah had wanted was to find out what the woman thought of her husbands visage of youth. Now she was getting nonsense.
"What's that like?" She asked suddenly. "How does it feel to live with a man who looks like a teenager?"
"Really, this is all nothing." Clara said dismissively. "The kids face suits him perfectly. He's not a soldier of fortune or James Bond. He's just a 36 year old man trapped in a kid's body."
Myrah lifted her eyebrows. "You mean he's a kid trapped in a man's body?"
"Something like that." The woman nodded. "Someone raids the home of a high level terrorist. Six people are killed by armed sentries hiding in the shadows. One is sent home with serious injuries. A general delivers a big assed fish to hang on the wall. 'Here's your cover and your pink slip.' He says. Meanwhile Dan's completely incapacitated by a blue marlin and unable to leave the safe room in our house. Nice life I have."
Myrah found the situation that she was in to be somewhat of a guilty pleasure. She'd always felt inferior to her friend and now she was the one who was driving Clara around and watching her spill her guts in a drunken stupor at eleven o'clock in the morning. She decided to press the matter more.
"So he's a secret agent?" She asked.
"He's a man who catches fish."
Myrah nodded. "Yes, but who deliver's the fish?"
Clara laughed. "A man with stars on his hat." She said. She spread her arms out and shrugged as if it were the simplest thing in the world. "He doesn't wear the stars when he brings the fish. That's the only thing. It wouldn't look like Dan caught the fish if he did."
Jill cocked her head. "You mean Dan doesn't fish?"
"He fishes." Clara slurred. "He's a damned fine fisherman. How do you think he got so messed up?"
Both Myrah and Jill exchanged looks. "A terrorist in Jordan?" The builder's wife asked.
"A shark!" The woman answered. Her eyes lit up as she described the scene. "He wrestles it to the ground bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds and bites. He screams for his buddies on the boat to help contain the beast but they're all dead. In a rage he grabs his Desert Eagle and puts a bullet in its brain."
"Jesus." Myrah said again.
Jill's brows knitted. "Why was he fishing with a gun?" She asked. It did seem like an obvious question.
Clara grinned. "America's Enemies." She said.
Laughing she raised her hands like a pair of claws.

Mai 2000
BeschreibungWho are the Messianic Jews? What do they believe and practice? What is the Jewish community's reaction to the development of Messianic Judaism? In this pioneering study, Dan Cohn-Sherbok traces the development of the Messianic movement from ancient times to its transformation after World War II. Focusing on the nature of the movement today, the volume continues with a detailed examination of Messianic practices, and the place of Messianic Judaism within the contemporary Jewish community.
PortraitRabbi Professor Dan Cohn-Sherbok has a Ph.D. in theology from Cambridge University, UK, and an honorary doctorate in divinity from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, USA. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Judaism, University of Wales: Honorary Professor, University of Aberstwyth: Visiting Professor at St Mary's University College and York St John University; and Visiting Research Fellow at Heythrop College, University of London. He has written numerous books, including The Paradox of Anti-Semitism, Dictionary of Jewish Biography," Atlas of Jewish History, Modern Judaism and Judaism Today."
Pressestimmen"Cohn-Sherbok has done a commendable job of depicting the history and practice of Messianic Judaism in ancient and modern times in what wil no doubt prove to be a valuable and user-friendly resource for Messianic Jews and those interested in the movement. The author has also done a service to Messianic Jews. By taking the time and effort to dedicate a fair-handed book to the movement, Cohn-Sherbok has aided the Messianic Jewish movement in its quest for recognition, affirmation, and acceptance by the wider Jewish community."

text: On Saturday night, April 17, 2010, inside the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri, Valli Motorsports Yamaha rider Ivan Tedesco held down fourth place in the AMA Supercross main event. Then, on the white-flag lap, the veteran rider came up short on an unforgiving jump, was tossed like a ragdoll over the handlebars and hit the dirt in a heap. It was a frightening crash, and the former two-time AMA West Region Supercross Champion, AMA 250 Champion and multi-time Motocross of Nations winner was stretchered off the track with a collapsed lung, a number of broken ribs, and a broken collarbone. So severe were the injuries that, at one point, Tedesco actually wondered if he'd be able to keep his racing career alive. It was an awful blow to the New Mexican. Having joined the private start-up Valli Motorsports team on the eve of the 2010 Supercross Series, Tedesco had ridden well since Anaheim I, pulling two top-three finishes and six top-fives before the fateful round 14. In fact, before the St. Louis shunt, he was sixth in points and very much the strongest privateer in the classification. Fortunately, after a rough first month, Tedesco started feeling better and was keen to get back on the bike – and back to racing. It's now Fourth of July weekend and Ivan Tedesco is only two weeks away from returning to action in the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship. We caught up with the congenial rider after he'd just returned from a training session with friend and coach Johnny O'Mara.

This Ill-Fated Insubordination
Lying face down in the stygian mud, hair matted and ginger and clumpy with crud, you try to engage inner feelings of rage; with the witch disappeared, you're feeling more sage so you manage to shuffle to lie on one cheek (the less-bruised of the two, you think) with a creak of the bones and the tendons and muscles that throb, as the split hair-lipped mess that was lately your gob opens, just once; with a shuddering sigh, you sink into the miry clay, and expire.
Not that you die, but sleep's not right either; you pass out, 'cause you're wounded and running a fever. And when you revive, the first sound you hear is an all-too-familiar screech in your ear.
"Oh, Head," sings the harpy, her vocal cords straining, "Won't this be a hoot, I've started it raining; I think in your state, you'll find swimming quite draining," and with flabby fierce waves of her wrinkled old arms, the grizzled grey hag starts listing the charms of her plan, her idea, her magnum opus; you can't hear past the pain and the rain, eyes won't focus, but you spot something odd, in the hocus-pocus; when witchy casts spells, the old human locust, her eyes turn as yellow as a wilted crocus.
The witch and the squirrel, the gypsy from chapter—you mean, from day one; their eyes all turned yellow, they shone like a sun whose insidious rays never warm, only burn; they've each had their fun with you, taking a turn to deceive you, bereave you, deny you, and fry you (in the oil, so to speak, of your own slimy plans—but if ideas are skillets, you're well out of the pan, and you've bounced off some brimstone and into hellfire; could this situation get any more dire?) and refusing, at last, to take anymore, you shake yourself clear and shout, "Heyf, fyou olfd whorfe!
That pisses her off, though it's probably true—how else is she Satan's girl-to-go-to? It's Hell, after all, where she's climbing the ranks; they want lusting and whoring and dirty cheap skanks. But for this observation, she'd give you no thanks, so you stare up malignly, at her cottage-cheese flanks, "Jusft stofp fakinfg, Ife realifsedf now, you'rfe all freally jusft Satanf," but just at the moment your breath is abatin', you hear somebody laugh, and it's instantly gratin', oh look here comes Lucy, and he's already hatin'.
"Oh ignorant Head, or ignorant Howell, either way you're a moron," he fairly growls. "They all borrow my power, but my minions aren't ME—I'm one of kind, all there ever need be. I'm Satan, I'm Lucifer, Son of the Morning, when I'm after your soul I give little warning, and this stupid old witch overstepping her bounds, who's supposed to be sending you straight underground into caverns aflame, where the dead cry, distraught—she's not me, she's not following plans that I wrought."
He walks to the witch, who makes nary a sound, keeps her hands at her sides and her eyes on the ground, "Grovelling submission has come too late; I'm not Jesus, don't expect me to wipe clean the slate," and a chasm appears, in the earth near her feet, and she spasms with fear and gets pushed in complete by the foul mastermind, the one pulling the strings, it's all Satan, always has been, your mind fairly sings and you wish, one more time, to make everything right; then Lucy bowling-ball grabs you, and puts you in flight falling after the witch; which really bites. But at least if you follow her maybe you might get a chance to destroy her, however slight, and you hope for the best as you careen through the night.
