When Magma Freezes Over...
Intel confirms that they have approached AMD about access to their Mantle API. The discussion, despite being clearly labeled as "an experiment" by an Intel spokesperson, was initiated by them -- not AMD. According to AMD's Gaming Scientist, Richard Huddy, via PCWorld, AMD's response was, "Give us a month or two" and "we'll go into the 1.0 phase sometime this year" which only has about five months left in it. When the API reaches 1.0, anyone who wants to participate (including hardware vendors) will be granted access.
AMD inside Intel Inside???
I do wonder why Intel would care, though. Intel has the fastest per-thread processors, and their GPUs are not known to be workhorses that are held back by API call bottlenecks, either. Of course, that is not to say that I cannot see any reason, however...
Read on to see why, I think, Intel might be interested and what this means for the industry.
Intel's Knights Landing (Xeon Phi, 2015) Details
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | July 2, 2014 - 03:55 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, Xeon Phi, xeon, silvermont, 14nm
Anandtech has just published a large editorial detailing Intel's Knights Landing. Mostly, it is stuff that we already knew from previous announcements and leaks, such as one by VR-Zone from last November (which we reported on). Officially, few details were given back then, except that it would be available as either a PCIe-based add-in board or as a socketed, bootable, x86-compatible processor based on the Silvermont architecture. Its many cores, threads, and 512 bit registers are each pretty weak, compared to Haswell, for instance, but combine to about 3 TFLOPs of double precision performance.
Not enough graphs. Could use another 256...
The best way to imagine it is running a PC with a modern, Silvermont-based Atom processor -- only with up to 288 processors listed in your Task Manager (72 actual cores with quad HyperThreading).
The main limitation of GPUs (and similar coprocessors), however, is memory bandwidth. GDDR5 is often the main bottleneck of compute performance and just about the first thing to be optimized. To compensate, Intel is packaging up-to 16GB of memory (stacked DRAM) on the chip, itself. This RAM is based on "Hybrid Memory Cube" (HMC), developed by Micron Technology, and supported by the Hybrid Memory Cube Consortium (HMCC). While the actual memory used in Knights Landing is derived from HMC, it uses a proprietary interface that is customized for Knights Landing. Its bandwidth is rated at around 500GB/s. For comparison, the NVIDIA GeForce Titan Black has 336.4GB/s of memory bandwidth.
Intel and Micron have worked together in the past. In 2006, the two companies formed "IM Flash" to produce the NAND flash for Intel and Crucial SSDs. Crucial is Micron's consumer-facing brand.
So the vision for Knights Landing seems to be the bridge between CPU-like architectures and GPU-like ones. For compute tasks, GPUs edge out CPUs by crunching through bundles of similar tasks at the same time, across many (hundreds of, thousands of) computing units. The difference with (at least socketed) Xeon Phi processors is that, unlike most GPUs, Intel does not rely upon APIs, such as OpenCL, and drivers to translate a handful of functions into bundles of GPU-specific machine language. Instead, especially if the Xeon Phi is your system's main processor, it will run standard, x86-based software. The software will just run slowly, unless it is capable of vectorizing itself and splitting across multiple threads. Obviously, OpenCL (and other APIs) would make this parallelization easy, by their host/kernel design, but it is apparently not required.
It is a cool way that Intel arrives at the same goal, based on their background. Especially when you mix-and-match Xeons and Xeon Phis on the same computer, it is a push toward heterogeneous computing -- with a lot of specialized threads backing up a handful of strong ones. I just wonder if providing a more-direct method of programming will really help developers finally adopt massively parallel coding practices.
I mean, without even considering GPU compute, how efficient is most software at splitting into even two threads? Four threads? Eight threads? Can this help drive heterogeneous development? Or will this product simply try to appeal to those who are already considering it?

Some good news on competition for a change; SSDs may be getting cheaper
Subject: General Tech | June 23, 2014 - 01:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ssd, kingston, Samsung, Intel, sandisk, rumour
If the information provided to DigiTimes is correct we may be in for a price war between SSD manufacturers. We have seen price drops in flash memory, especially with the advent of TLC and asynchronous flash which have been heartily approved by most enthusiasts. However there is a chance that in the coming months competition will start driving prices of SSDs down but may have the opposite impact on other products. Micron is planning on reducing the amount of memory it sells to other companies in order to ramp up its stock of SSDs and SanDisk has jumped into the market with both feet. You can also expect to see all the major manufacturers start putting out more M.2 drives as adoption of Intel's Z97 board grows.
"The SSD industry is heading for fierce price competition as major suppliers, including Micron Technology, Intel, Kingston Technology, SanDisk and Samsung Electronics, are gearing up efforts to outperform others, according to industry sources."

You got your FPGA in my Xeon!
Subject: General Tech | June 19, 2014 - 01:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xeon, Intel, FPGA
Intel has just revealed what The Register is aptly referring to as the FrankenChip, a hybrid Xeon E5 and FPGA chip. This will allow large companies to access the power of a Xeon and be able to offload some work onto an FPGA they can program and optimize themselves. The low power FPGA is actually on the chip, as opposed to Microsoft's recent implementation which saw FPGA's added to PCIe slots. Intel's solution does not use up a slot and also offers direct access to the Xeon cache hierarchy and system memory via QPI which will allow for increased performance. Another low power shot has been fired at ARM's attempts to grow their share of the server market but we shall see if the inherent complexity of programming an FPGA to work with an x86 is more or less attractive than switching to ARM.
"Intel has expanded its chip customization business to help it take on the hazy threat posed by some of the world's biggest clouds adopting low-power ARM processors."

A refresh for Haswell
Intel is not very good at keeping secrets recently. Rumors of a refreshed Haswell line of processors have been circulating for most of 2014. In March, it not only confirmed that release but promised an even more exciting part called Devil's Canyon. The DC parts are still quad-core Haswell processors built on Intel's 22nm process technology, but change a few specific things.
Intel spent some time on the Devil's Canyon Haswell processors to improve the packaging and thermals for overclockers and enthusiasts. The thermal interface material (TIM) that lies in between the die and the heat spreader has been updated to a next-generation polymer TIM (NGPTIM). The change should improve cooling performance of all currently shipping cooling solutions (air or liquid), but it is still a question just HOW MUCH this change will actually matter.
You can also tell from the photo comparison above that Intel has added capacitors to the back of the processor to "smooth" power delivery. This, in combination with the NGPTIM, should enable a bit more headroom for clock speeds with the Core i7-4790K.
In fact, there are two Devil's Canyon processors being launched this month. The Core i7-4790K will sell for $339, the same price as the Core i7-4770K, while the Core i5-4690K will sell for $242. The lower end option is a 3.5 GHz base clock, 3.9 GHz Turbo clock quad-core CPU without HyperThreading. While a nice step over the Core i5-4670K, it's only 100 MHz faster. Clearly the Core i7-4790K is the part everyone is going to be scrambling to buy.
Another interesting change is that both the Core i7-4790K and the Core i5-4690K enable support for both Intel's VT-d virtualization IO technology and Intel's TSX-NI transactional memory instructions. This makes them the first enthusiast-grade unlocked processors from Intel to support them!
As Intel states it, the Core i7-4790K and the Core i5-4690K have been "designed to be used in conjunction with the Z97 chipset." That being said, at least one motherboard manufacturer, ASUS, has released limited firmware updates to support the Devil's Canyon parts on Z87 products. Not all motherboards are going to be capable, and not all vendors are going to the spend the time to integrate support, so keep an eye on the support page for your specific motherboard.
The CPU itself looks no different on the top, save for the updated model numbering.
Core i7-4790K on the left, Core i7-4770K on the right
On the back you can see the added capacitors that help with stable overclocking.
The clock speed advantage that the Core i7-4790K provides over the Core i7-4770K should not be overlooked, even before overclocking is taken into consideration. A 500 MHz base clock boost is 14% higher in this case and in those specific CPU-limited tasks, you should see very high scaling.

The biggest improvement for overclockers on the new Devil's Canyon processors goes by the name of Next-Generation Polymer Thermal Interface Material; which will replace the much maligned TIM used on Haswell chips that many have blamed for poor overclocking results. So far the news is good but as no samples have arrived anywhere for review we still await the final word. As it is an LGA 1150 processor the current heatsinks will cool this chip and in theory a BIOS/UEFI update should allow them to run on current Z87 boards making it a very easy upgrade. As you can see in the list the speeds are raised slightly from the previous generation, check out the other features [H]ard|OCP heard about right here.
"Intel is presenting its new Devil's Canyon processors today at Computex in Taiwan. Enthusiasts get a two new processor solutions, one with HyperThreading and one without. While many of us are familiar with processor core clocks of 4GHz+, this is first time we have Intel serving up a minimum 4GHz clock on its enthusiast K processor."

Richard Huddy Departs Intel, Rejoins AMD
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | June 3, 2014 - 02:10 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: Intel, amd, richard huddy
Interesting news is crossing the ocean today as we learn that Richard Huddy, who has previously had stints at NVIDIA, ATI, AMD and most recently, Intel, is teaming up with AMD once again. Richard brings with him years of experience and innovation in the world of developer relations and graphics technology. Often called "the Godfather" of DirectX, AMD wants to prove to the community it is taking PC gaming seriously.
The official statement from AMD follows:
AMD is proud to announce the return of the well-respected authority in gaming, Richard Huddy. After three years away from AMD, Richard returns as AMD's Gaming Scientist in the Office of the CTO - he'll be serving as a senior advisor to key technology executives, like Mark Papermaster, Raja Koduri and Joe Macri. AMD is extremely excited to have such an industry visionary back. Having spent his professional career with companies like NVIDIA, Intel and ATI, and having led the worldwide ISV engineering team for over six years at AMD, Mr. Huddy has a truly unique perspective on the PC and Gaming industries.
Mr. Huddy rejoins AMD after a brief stint at Intel, where he had a major impact on their graphics roadmap. During his career Richard has made enormous contributions to the industry, including the development of DirectX and a wide range of visual effects technologies. Mr. Huddy's contributions in gaming have been so significant that he was immortalized as 'The Scientist' in Max Payne (if you're a gamer, you'll see the resemblance immediately).
Kitguru has a video from Richard Huddy explaining his reasoning for the move back to AMD.
Source: Kitguru.net
This move points AMD in a very interesting direction going forward. The creation of the Mantle API and the debate around AMD's developer relations programs are going to be hot topics as we move into the summer and I am curious how quickly Huddy thinks he can have an impact.
I have it on good authority we will find out very soon.
Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Intel has a nasty habit of releasing disruptive technology, especially in the area of computer storage. Among the first of those releases was the X25-M, which was groundbreaking to say the least. At a time where most other SATA SSDs were just stopgap attempts to graft flash memory to a different interface, Intel's SATA SSD was really the first true performer.
With performance in the bag, Intel shifted their attention to reducing the cost of their products. The next few generations of the Intel line was coupled with leadership in die shrinks. This all came together in the form of SSD releases of increasingly reduced cost. Sure the enterprise parts retained a premium, but the consumer parts generally remained competitive.
Now Intel appears to have once again shifted their attention to performance, and we know it has been in the works for a while now. With the SATA bottleneck becoming increasingly apparent, big changes needed to me made. First, SATA, while fine for relatively high latency HDD's, was just never meant for SSD speeds. As SSD performance increased, the latencies involved with the interface overhead (translating memory-based addresses into ATA style commands) becomes more and more of a burden.
The solution is to not only transition to PCIe, but to do so using a completely new software and driver interface, called NVM Express. NVMe has been in the works for a while, and offers some incredible benefits in that it essentially brings the flash memory closer to the CPU. The protocol was engineered for the purpose of accessing flash memory as storage, and doing so as fast and with the least latency as possible. We hadn't seen any true NVMe products hit the market, until today, that is:
Behold the Intel SSD DC P3700!
Computex 2014: Intel Officially Releases Devil's Canyon, Core i7-4790K
Subject: Processors | June 3, 2014 - 02:30 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: Intel, i7-4790k, devil's canyon, computex 2014, computex, 4790k
Back in March, we learned from Intel that they were planning to release a new Haswell refresh processor targeted at the overclocking and gaming market, code named Devil's Canyon. As we noted then, this new version of the existing processors will include new CPU packaging and the oft-requested improved thermal interface material (TIM). What wasn't known were the final clock speeds and availability time lines.
The new Core i7-4790K processor will ship with a 4.0 GHz base clock with a maximum Turbo clock rate of 4.4 GHz! That is a 500 MHz increase in base clock speed over the Core i7-4770K and should result in a substantial (~10-15%) performance increase. The processor still supports HyperThreading for a total of 8 threads and is fully unlocked for even more clock speed improvements.
All of the other specifications remain the same - HD Graphics 4600, 8MB of L3 cache, 16 lanes of PCI Express, etc.
Intel spent some time on the Devil's Canyon Haswell processors to improve the packaging and thermals for overclockers and enthusiasts. The thermal interface material (TIM) that is between the top of the die and the heat spreader has been updated to a next-generation polymer TIM (NGPTIM). The change should improve cooling performance of all currently shipping cooling solutions (air or liquid) but it is still a question just HOW MUCH this change will actually matter.
You can also tell from the photo comparison above that Intel has added capacitors to the back of the processor to "smooth" power delivery. This, combined with the NGPTIM should enable a bit more headroom for clock speeds with the Core i7-4790K.
In fact, there are two Devil's Canyon processors being launched this month. The Core i7-4790K will sell for $339, the same price as the Core i7-4770K, while the Core i5-4690K will sell for $242. The lower end option is a 3.5 GHz base clock, 3.9 GHz Turbo clock quad-core CPU without HyperThreading. While a nice step over the Core i5-4670K, it's only 100 MHz faster. Clearly the Core i7-4790K is the part everyone is going to be scrambling to buy.
Not to be left out, Intel is offering an unlocked Pentium processor for users on a tighter budget. This dual core CPU runs at 3.2 GHz base frequency and includes not just HD Graphics but support for QuickSync video.
At just $72, the Pentium G3258 will likely be a great choice for gamers that lean towards builds like the one we made for the Titanfall release.
I was hoping to have a processor in hand to run benchmarks and overclocking testing on, but they haven't quite made it to the office yet. The 4.0 GHz clock speed is easily emulated by any 4770K and some BIOS tweaks but the additional overclocking headroom provided by the changed thermal interface is still in question. Honestly, based on conversations with motherboard vendors, Devil's Canyon headroom is only 100-200 MHz over the base Haswell parts, so don't expect to reach 6.0 GHz all of the sudden.
Later in the week we'll have the Core i7-4790K in hand and you can expect a full review shortly thereafter.

Ottumwa lucky to have a specialist like Dr. Coram
On one of my annual visits to Fairfield, my son told me about hockey teammates who had career-ending injuries until they were treated by Dr. Charles Coram, a chiropractor in Ottumwa. The teammates were soon playing hockey again and attributed their recovery solely to Dr. Coram's efforts. This got my attention. My son suggested that I see Dr. Coram because of 20 years of extreme leg pain from chronic sciatica that recently prevented me from sleeping in bed for more than an hour at a time. I agreed, and after my first treatment was able to sleep in bed all night! I live in Ann Arbor, Mich. (a nine-and-one-half-hour drive from Ottumwa each way), and as a recently retired professor at the University of Michigan, have seen many specialists over the past 15 years — doctors including neurologists and other specialists, MDs, physical therapists, even an acupunturist — who have all treated me for this problem without much success. I am now traveling to Ottumwa each month to be treated by Dr. Coram, who is the only medical professional who has been able to provide relief for my problem or any improvement in my overall condition. Each of my treatments has taken two-to-four hours, but has been unbelievably helpful. I see a noticeable improvement in my overall condition each time I meet with Dr. Coram. Ottumwa is very lucky to have such a helpful health specialist in its community.

LAS VEGAS--Sharp has announced two new Ultra HD/4K displays at CES with the flagship Purios the first to receive THX 4K Display certification.
The two TVs are the 60-inch Purios now due in summer 2013 and the prototype 60-inch Ultra HD TV.
The Purios was developed in conjunction with the I-cubed Research Center, and combines an Ultra HD resolution with a proprietary ICC (integrated cognitive creation) image processor, which the company claims reproduces the way the human brain responds to light. Sharp says this process tricks the brain into believing images are actually real.
The Aquos Ultra HD TV features a new type of screen technology called "Moth Eye" that the company claims "virtually eliminates glare while preserving color vibrancy".
Pricing for the Purios is yet to be announced.

Once home to Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams, this two-by-four mile island at the tail end of the Florida Keys is made for pleasure seekers. I arrive at Key West's tiny airport and pick up a taxi to Sunset Key Island (001 305 292 5300; westinsunsetkeycottages.com) – a minuscule private island off the mainland that's sprinkled with mint-green cottages. I'm greeted by a porch with rocking chair, then inside, a yard-high bed. It all combines to make me feel as if I've stepped into the pages of a Ralph Lauren summer catalogue.
After unpacking, I head back to the main island to Duval Street. Despite its popularity among Florida University students and the LGBT crowd, the buzz of Key West's nightlife is a few notches below the all-night fist-pumping further north-east in Miami. I start with dinner at Square One (001 305 296 4300; squareonekeywest.com), an upscale eatery whose owner, Michael, greets guests with the enthusiasm of a long-time local. Michael clearly pays similar attention to the food because the specials and signature crab cakes are incredible.
Down the road, Nine One Five (001 305 296 0669; 915duval.com) is a charming restaurant owned by a British expatriate, Stuart Kemp, whose creative cuisine integrates some of the best of British with the fresh flavours of the Keys.
After dinner it's on to one of Key West's oldest bars, Afterdeck at Louie's Backyard (001 305 294 1061; louiesbackyard.com). Walking into Louie's feels like crashing a neighbourhood block party where everyone knows each other. Luckily, the drinks are strong and after a few Louie's Passions, I seem to have adopted a South Florida drawl – a sign it's time to move on.
I head to the most rambunctious bar on the island – Sloppy Joe's (001 305 294 5717; sloppyjoes.com). Another Key West institution known for pulling in a crowd of frat boys and blonde sorority girls, this is where the regrets of youth are made. I've only been in for a few seconds when the first tequila body-shot comes. The rest is history.
It's morning and my hangover needs nursing so I head over to Blue Heaven (001 305 296 8666; blueheavenkw.com) for a Bloody Mary and lobster omelette. No-nonsense waitresses dole out equal servings of attitude and coffee; and just about every face from last night is here.
Sufficiently stuffed, I jump on board the Conch Tour Train (001 888 916 8687; conch tourtrain.com) to see the island by day. Initially, this ride sounds like tourist-trap hell, but drinks are allowed on board. The tour takes in sights such as Harry S Truman's Little White House, Hemingway's home, Audubon House and the 1912 Flagler train station.
But the best part of being in the Keys is its location in the Gulf of Mexico, so I head out to sea on a private boat with Dolphin Safari Charters (001 305 797 5491; safaricharters.com) to do a bit of snorkelling and dolphin-spotting. I crack open a couple of cold beers while dolphins swim by, as the sun gradually sets over the pale-blue waters.
As night falls, it's back to Duval Street for key lime pie at Kermit's Key Lime Pie Shoppe (001 800 376 0806; keylimeshop.com). The zingy pies work a treat, before another night of cocktails.

Never forgotten Melody
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…
Authors note: Sorry for not updating for a while, I haven't had time. What with the baby sister and school work… I just get caught up! This is just going to be a cute one shot, Please review and tell me what you think! They are 16 in this story, just so you know.
Sorry again and enjoy:
Naruto's POV
Naruto was at the training grounds practicing his Tai-jutsu skills when he heard a voice behind him.
"Hey Naruto," Called the voice from behind him. It was a guy's voice, and then he heard some barking… 'Strange who do I know that has a dog?' Naruto asked mentally (how can he not know anyway on with the story). He turned too see who it was.
"Oh, hey Kiba what's up?" Naruto asked him. 'I wonder what he wants,' Naruto thought to himself.
"Can you do me a favor? Usually I wouldn't ask but…" He started.
"Yeah sure, what is it?" Naruto asked.
"Well, I have to help my mom with something, and then I have to train… seeing as you already have, can you give this Hinata for me?" Kiba explained/asked. He held out a box wrapped in purple wrapping paper, with a black bow on top. 'I wonder what that's for,' he thought.
"Sure but, why are you giving Hinata a present?" Naruto asked with a confused look on his face. Kiba looked at him dumbly before responding.
"… Don't you know? It's her birthday, duh!" Kiba exclaimed.
"Well SOR-RY! Ok, I'll give it to her," Naruto replied. 'I never really talk to Hinata so this is not going to be fun; it's not that I don't like her. I just don't know her that well,' Naruto thought, explaining it to himself.
"Thanx and tell Hinata I said Happy Birthday! C ya," He exclaimed while walking away. Naruto just shrugged and headed towards the Hyuuga Manor.
At the Hyuuga Manor- Still Naruto's POV
He came up to the gate of the Hyuuga Manor and met the guards there.
"Stat your purpose," One of the guards said with no emotion at all.
"I'm here to give this Birthday present to Hinata," Naruto explained. 'Man poor Hinata lives here, with guys like this running around? I mean come on this guy is so… so… boring!'
"Ah, you're here to see Lady Hinata. Alright, just go up to the door, knock and one of the maids will let you in," He told Naruto flatly.
"Ok!" Naruto exclaimed as he put his arm behind his head. 'If all the people in the Hyuuga Manor are like this, this is not going to be fun at all!' The guy opened the gate and let him in. He walked threw the gate with his arms still behind his head and a big smile on his face. 'O well, I haven't seen Hinata for a while and it will be nice to see her and say hi!' He walked up to the door and knocked on it. He waited for 5 seconds, and then heard the sound of feet coming towards the door. He placed his arms by his sides as the door opened.
"Hello, you must be that young man the guards told me was here to see Lady Hinata?" She asked him. 'Strange, she has to be around my age and she is calling me young man?'
"Yes I am here to see Hinata," He told the maid.
"Alright then, right this way sir," She replied, motioning for him to follow her. She led Naruto into the dining room. 'Hm Hinata's house is very elegant!'
"Wait right here while I decipher where Lady Hinata is, Ok?" She asked him.
"Alright," He exclaimed. The maid bowed to him and left the room. 'Why did she bow to me? O well!' He sat down and waited there for what seemed like hours (but was actually only 5 min.). 'When is she going to come back?' He thought as the maid entered the room and bowed again.
"I'm sorry for making you wait sir," she said very sincerely, "We had to figure out where she is… We found her she is down the hall, 3rd room on the right; do you need me to lead you there or do you want to go by yourself?" She asked him.
"I think I can find it myself," He said as he put his arms behind his head and smiled at her.
"Yes sir," She said as she bowed yet again.
"…ok thanx for you assistance," he said to her as he got off of the couch and grabbed the present. She motioned for him to leave the room before her. He went to the door, but didn't go out. Instead he turned and looked at her.
"Ladies first!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Why, thank you sir!" She said as she went out. She went in the opposite direction of him. 'Ok, 3rd room on the right?' he asked him mentally, 'yeah that's what she said!' he walked past two doors and the right and 3 on the left already and he started hearing the sound of a piano playing. 'That song is so beautiful!'(Just so you know the song is 'Out of Time by, Liz Story')
Out of Naruto's POV
Naruto kept walking and conveniently, the sound of the piano playing got louder as he approached the room he was supposed to go into. The door was open a crack already so Naruto pushed it open, and was trying hard to be quiet so he wouldn't disturb the person. He stood by the door, and looked around.
The room had no lights on at all, but instead had lit lavender candles (the color and scent) all around the room. The room had pictures of a beautiful woman with blue hair (like Hinata's) and dark lavender eyes everywhere (not on the walls). There were even some on the piano… 'Is that Hinata playing that beautiful song?' Naruto thought to himself. 'It's not just the song that is beautiful…' Her long hair was in a half ponytail, her kimono is very light lavender (almost white) with pink and purple flowers on it, the obi is pink, and her shoes are flip-flops (The bottom part is black and the strap part is white and pink). 'I heard someone come in, but if I look I would have to stop playing the piano,' Hinata thought to herself. 'I'll look who it is after I'm done playing.'
'She is so beautiful!' Naruto thought. After 4 minutes Hinata had finished the song, she turned and looked at who had walked in; when she saw it was Naruto she blushed and looked at the ground.
"Hey Hinata-Chan, you look beautiful and that song was beautiful!" Naruto exclaimed.
"H-Hi Naruto… T-Thank you!" Hinata replied quietly. Naruto just sat staring at her, which made Hinata feel uncomfortable so, she was the first to speak up.
"… N-Not t-to be r-rude N-Naruto… B-But why a-are y-you here?" Hinata asked quietly, but Naruto heard her.
"What, Oh! I came here to give you this. It's a birthday present from Kiba; he also said to wish you a Happy Birthday!" Naruto exclaimed. 'I'll have to thank him when I see him!' Hinata thought making a mental note.
"… T-Thank you, for g-giving it to me," Hinata said quietly while accepting it from him and placing on the piano bench next to her.
"You're welcome… Hinata can I ask you something?" Naruto asked.
"… Um, s-sure!" Hinata exclaimed quietly.
"Well, I have more then one question… The first question is, what was that song you were playing on the piano," Naruto asked.
"T-The song it c-called 'Out of Time' and is w-written by Liz Story. N-Not m-many people k-know about it, s-since most p-people don't listen t-to classical m-music," Hinata explained.
"Oh, well it's very pretty. Another thing who is this?" he said picking up one of the pictures, "And why that song?" He asked. Hinata looked sad for a moment before answering.
"T-That…" she said motioning to the picture he held, "W-Was my m-mother…" She stopped realizing Naruto had a look that looked like a mixture of concern and confusion.
"…L-Let me explain, s-she was my mother b-because she died." She explained.
"How, when?" Naruto asked.
"S-She um… I-I was o-only 6 years o-old, so it w-was 10 y-years ago. S-She took my Aunt and m-me, and left t-the house to go s-shopping for groceries and n-new clothes. W-We were going threw s-some clothes on t-the rack w-when a m-man..." Hinata stopped and tears filled her eyes and she had to blink them away.
Naruto was so into her story, he didn't realize it was it was hurting her to talk about it, until he looked at her face and saw the tears in her eyes. She blinked back her tears and Naruto was about to say something but was cut of.
"...I-I'm sorry, anyways, t-the man grabbed m-my Aunt and m-my Mother and told us if any of us s-scream he'd... k-kill me... He ran off with my Mother a-and my Aunt and I-I was too weak to s-stop him... I ran home as f-fast as I-I could and told my f-father, when we got back t-to the s-store we couldn't t-trace where they w-went... About 3 m-months later they d-discovered they're b-bodies in the r-river... The g-guy was caught 1 y-year afterwards trying to rob a s-store. The song 'Out of Time,' was a s-song my mother always used to p-play for m-me." Hinata explained.
"...Oh, I'm so sorry Hinata, I never knew! One more thing, how to you know they got the right guy?" Naruto asked.
"I-I saw his f-face when he took t-them; it was the s-same one I-I saw on the cover of a n-newspaper," She explained as her eyes started filling with tears. 'This beautiful woman was Hinata's mother?' Naruto asked himself mentally.
She refused to let the tears fall though. Naruto saw them in her eyes and looked at her concerned.
"I'm sorry Hinata; I didn't mean to make you sad!" Naruto apologized sincerely.
"I-It's alright Naruto, I-I just miss her very much... i-it's not your fault..." She said quietly as a single tear went down her cheek. Naruto, who was still looking at her face, reached and wiped the tear away but, instead of pulling his hand back to its spot, he left it on her cheek. 'Hinata's skin is so soft' He thought to himself. 'What's he doing?' She asked herself, searching for the answers in her head.
"Hinata your skin is so soft and you are so beautiful... Oops did I say that out load? That was supposed to stay in a thought bubble!" Naruto exclaimed not very truthfully, still not removing his hand.
"...I-It's ok N-Naruto... and thank you by the way," She said quietly. Naruto took a moment to think about why she was telling him thank you, then realized what he said to make her thank him.
"You're welcome Hinata!" Naruto exclaimed, still not removing his hand but, adding a foxy grin to his face. Hinata blushed and sighed.
"Is something wrong Hinata?" Naruto asked.
"... No," She said sighing again.
"Hinata, I can tell when something is wrong, please tell me!" Naruto exclaimed as put his hands on her shoulders.
"... Nothing, I-I'm fine," She said sighing yet again.
"HINATA, you're driving me crazy! Tell me!" Naruto exclaimed/almost yelled.
"... I-I'm sorry, p-please don't get m-mad," She said quietly, as she bowed her head to hide her face.
"... I'm sorry I yelled Hinata, please tell me!" Naruto said as he hugged her. Hinata was shocked that he had hugged her; she took a moment before responding.
"I-I just, can't help b-but feel it was all m-my fault..." Hinata said quietly. Naruto heard her and hugged her tighter, he didn't know why but it felt right to hug her.
"Hinata it's alright! It wasn't your fault; you weren't even a Genin were you? You probably couldn't have beaten him; you were only a little girl!" Naruto said trying to make her feel better.
"...T-That makes me feel b-better, but my dad was d-disappointed in me, even if he d-didn't say so, I could see it in his e-eyes..." Hinata said.
"It wasn't your fault, you shouldn't feel guilty!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Thanks Naruto," She said hugging him back, "That makes me feel better, that you think that I mean!"
"Good!" He said as he kissed her gently on the lips, he didn't know why it just seemed like the right thing to do. Hinata was surprised at first but then slowly kissed him back. They stayed like that for a good 3 minutes, then at the same time they both pulled away. They looked at each other and smiled. Hinata started to blush a little, while Naruto put on his foxy grin again.
"...Uh N-Naruto, I'm supposed to h-have guest come w-with me to the H-Hyuuga ball. It's for my b-birthday; would you l-like to come with m-me?" Hinata asked blushing even more than before. Naruto smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Yeah I'll go with you!" Naruto said as he smiled and held his hand out for her to take it. She took his hand gratefully and smiled. They both stood up and made they're way to the ball room.
Hours later
After Naruto had left Hinata decided to open Kiba's present. She red the card attached to it and it said from Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai Sensei. She undid the Bow and ripped open the paper carefully, it was a card board box. She shook it and heard something moving around. She took some scissors, cut the tape, and opened up the bow. Inside the box, was a scrapbook of pictures of them as a team and all off them separately (Even Akamaru) and notes from all three of them. She looked over all the pictures and it brought tears to her eyes to see how much they had all grown together, like a family. She whipped her tars away, put the scrap book on her shelf, changed into her PJs and slide into bed with everyone she loved on her mind.
The End
Author's note: Sorry I took so long! I know that if I don't update my other stories soon, the people reading them are going to beat the crap out of me! School has been hectic! Thanks for reading and please review! Leona

Scratch beneath the surface sheen of It's All True and all kinds of depths emerge.
The fourth album by the Canadian duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark is named after a wartime propaganda film by Orson Welles, has one song ("Banana Ripple") based on Howard Hughes' obsession with ice-cream and is apparently a break-up album. But when that surface is a penthouse pop confection reminiscent of Zoot Woman and Hall and Oates, why scratch it?

I purchased a Sony 60'' LED TV over 3 years ago and lost my warranty paper work from DTV Express recently. I inquired several times for it and I have never received it. The sad thing is that I don't require any service done, however, I do want the digital paperwork confirming my warranty. How hard is it to re-send an old email stating you warranty? Their complaint was that they couldn't reach me via email. That is a load of garbage! Since I gave them FIVE different emails to send to.
Stay faaar away from this company and stick with the BIG BOYZ!

QE II Cup holder Presvis takes it easy
Defending Audemars Piguet QE II Cup winner Presvis might be worrying a few observers with his minimal participation at trackwork this week, but Luca Cumani's travelling foreman, Charlie Henson, is not one.
Most international visitors will be asked to produce one piece of work to top them off after arriving at Sha Tin, but the only trackwork appearance of Presvis has been a low-key walk around on the track and in the parade yard yesterday.
'Our flight from Dubai was delayed by 12 hours, so we didn't arrive until Tuesday morning, but he has settled in well and I think he recognises the place coming here for the third time,' said Henson (pictured), who has travelled the world with the six-year-old. 'As far as work goes, Presvis did the last of it in Dubai on Sunday morning and he worked very well. All we need to do here is keep him ticking over.'
While his form guide reads a last-start 11th in the Dubai Duty Free, Presvis was stuck between runners in the straight and didn't really get to show the whistling finishing speed that is his trademark.
'We were really pleased with his win in the Jebel Hatta leading up to the Duty Free and he seemed to be in his best form going into World Cup night,' Henson said. 'That race was no guide, but we have no reason to believe he won't perform - he seems to be in the same kind of form he took into the QE II Cup last year.'
However, as Cumani had done before the Dubai Duty Free when Presvis was the bookies' favourite, Henson warned the horse needed luck and a slow tempo on Sunday would play against him.
'That's always a concern with his style. If they are quickening off the bend and he's back at the rear in the same position he normally is, it certainly isn't going to help,' he said.
'With a slower tempo, the field can stay bunched up and the gaps through the field don't come, but I'm afraid that's just one of those things we can't do much about.'

Chapter One
"Oh, sorry there." the Centaur said, stopping in his tracks.
He reached back, brushing the leaves from Midnight's hair and face.
They had been traveling for so long, the girl hardly knew whether it was day or night anymore. Her arm was still quite painful and riding on the Centaur's back - or rather struggling not to fall - only made it worse. Sometimes, a ray of light would penetrate through the thick green branches, casting enormous shadows on the ground, but save for that, the air was dark and still. Midnight's eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness, but she could still see the large distorted shapes of the trees, their roots sticking out of the ground like tentacles.
Moving through the dark big tree trunks had proven to be extremely difficult, even for the massive Centaur, and holding onto him had been just as hard for her.
"It's alright." she replied, and shook her head vigorously. More leaves fell out. Now that they'd stopped, the forest seemed unusually quiet. Almost too still, the branches hovered above them, all green from the moss that covered them and their stillness made Midnight uneasy. She could feel the danger in it, like an unspoken warning. There were other things in that forest, things Midnight knew -or felt- were powerful and dangerous, things she couldn't even think of. There was a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach and the girl tried to repress a shudder.
The Centaur, however, caught it.
"You're cold, aren't you? I forgot Fairlings were so sensitive. Here,"he said, pulling Midnight onto the ground, "walking will do you good. I would offer you Valrya's cloak, but you didn't seem to like it very much..."
There was a loud crack behind him. Someone had landed very suddenly on a branch, splitting it in two. Glancing coldly at her two companions, the silver-shaded woman leaned against a tall tree covered in moss.
The Centaur smiled.
"Don't mind her. She's very easily offended. She'll get over it."
He winked, and there was a playful spark in his milky blue eyes. Midnight bit back a smile.
"Thank you" she said slowly. She hadn't spoken in quite some time and her voice sounded rough. The girl cleared her throat and the noise seemed to bounce off of the trees around them.
"Can you walk, then?" the Centaur asked.
Midnight moved her legs carefully, taking a few short steps. She was still in some amount of pain from all her bruises, but she could carry herself well enough and they had to get going. The Centaur, whose name Midnight remembered to be Arragus, held her by the shoulders while their other companion ran ahead through the trees, only briefly coming back to let them know the trail was safe. The ground was trickier than Midnight had originally thought and she was soon struggling to stay on her feet, as the rocks constantly rolled from under them.
After a while, they had to stop and let her catch her breath again.
"What's a...a..."
"A Fairling?"
The Centaur opened his mouth but a sharp female voice cut him short:
"It's a word from the Old Writings, used to name people of your world." the woman said, pacing impatiently around them in a circle.
"M-my world?"
"This is not the place to talk about this. We have to get you to safety first." the Centaur interceded quickly, catching Valrya's train of thought.
"Safety? I thought I was already safe."
"Not in these parts of the forest, no. They're too close to the Midlands for any Fairling to be safe here. There's a reason why your lot can't go into the woods, you know."
His words reminded Midnight of the stories she'd heard when she was younger, stories of people who had come too close to the tall, dark trees. The local legends of her village spoke of the horrors and curses and tremendous danger hidden behind the old oaks of the forest. She blinked as the pieces fell together and suddenly a thousand questions popped into her mind.
Watching her closely, the Centaur smiled.
"It's the land of the banished. Only the worst of the Lost Ones are sent here."
"And...what happens to them?"
The Centaur shrugged. "Well, the first ones were banished to these lands in the Ancient times. They survived alright, but solitary life, especially one of this sort...it would turn everyone a little wild. After a while, though, they learned to hunt Fairlings. That's how your stories appeared, see. They also hunted down other banished Ones. If the newcomers survived the hunt, they joined the hunting party and learned their ways. Well, they turned more and more into dangerous savages as time went by. Everyone stopped traveling through these parts altogether, so they kept hunting Fairlings food. In the end, we managed to stop them from doing that, but now they're angry and hungry, so you can imagine they're not very pleasant beings to deal with."
"So then..why aren't they hunting us?"
The woman laughed loudly. Her sharp laughter bounced off the trees, echoing into the distance.
"I would like to see them try. But they won't. I think they still remember the last time they tried to attack a Patron!"
Midnight's head shot up, turning to look at the woman behind her.
"A Patron?"
There was a strange sound behind them, like leaves being turned over by someone's quick steps. They all turned their heads to find the source of the noise. Midnight's eyes couldn't penetrate through the darkness, but the other two seemed to see something lurking around, because the next thing she knew the Centaur grabbed her by the hands and, pulling her onto his back, began running through the trees again.
"W-why a-a-are we run-n-n-ning?" Midnight stuttered as they avoided several large rocks.
"I'm not sure, but Valrya seems to think there was something--someone back there. It could be a banished One, but even if it wasn't, it's best to be safe. Now be quiet, there's no need to make more noise and let whatever it was know where we are."
It didn't seem like he was going to say anything else so the girl pressed her lips together, still trying desperately to hold on.
Not long after, though, the ground appeared to become steadier and more reliable. There were no more holes and, after a while, Midnight noticed that the rocks were gone, too. They still had trouble going around the fallen trees, but the journey had definitely become more pleasant. For her, at least.
The strange voice made Midnight jump up in surprise, nearly knocking her off the Centaur's back. Even he seemed a little startled, as he backed away a few steps.
There was no one else there with them, she knew that for sure, so who had spoken so suddenly? As she looked around nervously, her gaze fell on a particularly odd-looking tree. This one was odd in that it wasn't covered in the thick layer of moss that grew on all the other trees, and it had no leaves. Its branches were long and thin and it looked very dry, like it was about to fall onto the ground and turn into dust.
"In the name of the Order of the Dragon, stop! Go back, or else..." the bodiless voice continued, but the Arragus, recovering from his surprise, hit the ground hard with his hooves.
"We're going forward and if you don't step aside, I'll be having your tail for dinner! Now let us through!"
For a moment, nothing happened. Midnight almost thought she had imagined the whole thing. But then, right in front of her eyes, the tree she'd been looking at began changing shape. It kept shrinking until it would have barely reached her elbow, the surface of the bark melting into something indefinite in shape and color. Then, ever so slowly, the mass began to reform. It grew a head, arms and legs and, at last, a long purple tail with three sharp, black thorns at the end. It looked like a very small man, standing in front of them. Except for the tail.
"Arragus. I didn't mean to frighten you. I just didn't recognize you," the tiny little creature said in a surprisingly strong voice. He gave the Centaur a little smile, but Arragus did not return it.
"There are very few things that scare me, Salazan, but you are not one of them. No matter what size you are. Especially not this size," he said with an irritated voice.
It was clear, however, that he had been frightened, and that was the real reason for his irritation. Salazan smiled impishly but his good mood changed as a harsh voice came from between the trees.
"We're already late, lizard, even without your little jokes."
"Valrya," the little man said in a mock voice, "I see coming this close to a Fairling hasn't changed you. It's a pity. One would think that revisiting your homeland would have put you in a better mood..."
The woman snarled and reached for her sword, but the tiny creature was already gone, leaving a big, dark empty space between the two trees on either side of where he had stood. The Centaur put his hand on Midnight's shoulder, nudging her gently.
"Well, go on. Time's precious, you know."
It was too dark ahead to see anything, but, as the girl got closer, shapes began to form before her eyes. The closer they got, the more she could see and the more it amazed her. Wild grass grew everywhere, as tall as her and even taller. The ground wasn't solid and edgy anymore, but soft and warm and pleasant. The trees were smaller, but their trunks were thicker and they had short branches that bent under the weight of the leaves, forming a sort of archway above the path.
"I don't see it."
Valrya's sharp voice interrupted Midnight's train of thought and the girl turned toward the woman. Both her and the Centaur seemed to be looking for something.
"Ever since the damned incident they keep changing the signs. We've been gone for a day they've probably moved them somewhere else by now..."
"And how are we supposed to get in?"
The Centaur mumbled something that Midnight couldn't understand. Valrya laughed then turned her back on him, still looking intently at every tree trunk and every rock on the ground. Then, something caught Midnight's attention.
"Hey, I think you'd better stay here until.." the Centaur said as she stepped away from him.
"I'm not going anywhere, I just want to see something." Midnight replied absently.
As she turned around, Arragus grabbed the fairy-woman by the arm, drawing her attention to the girl. The woman looked at him and at once understood what he was thinking.
"Don't be ridiculous! The Entrance can't be found by someone who's never seen it before! It's part of the Charm!"
But no one was listening to her anymore. Instead, he watched as the girl stopped in front of the last two trees on the path.
As she did so, Midnight turned around. There was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes when she spoke:
"These trees. Are they supposed to be like this?"
"Like how?"
"I don't know exactly. They just seem...thinner than the others. And younger, somehow. And they don't have bent branches, either."
There was a long pause. Then, the Centaur let out a long appreciative whistle.
"Well, I'll be damned. I guess that Charm of yours isn't as strong as you thought, huh?" he said jokingly. Valrya let out a low growl and jumped to where the girl was standing in one swift move. The Centaur joined them shortly. The trees were, indeed thinner than the others and definitely not as old. Their branches bent only on one side, forming a curtain of long, hanging vines between them.
"Well, it's getting pretty cold out here. I say we step right in." the Centaur said.
"Step right into what?" Midnight asked, baffled.
Arragus looked at the girl's confused faced and laughed. He reached out and touched the vines gently. Almost instantly, the leaves began to dry and fall, and then the vines, and then the branches, until there was nothing left of the two tall trees they had seen.
Midnight let out a gasp as a massive wooden door revealed itself from behind the dead vines. It was wider than all three of them together and, as she got closer, the girl realized what she had mistaken for wood was actually some form of hard, black metal. Words were encrusted everywhere on its surface and there were six larger symbols right in the center, linked to each other through a series of rings.
What drew her attention, however, was the handle. It was made out of some kind of golden metal, but it shined brighter than anything Midnight had seen. It, too, had the six symbols engraved on it, as well as words in a language that the girl couldn't understand.
"You should try opening it. I think that's the way it works." joked the Centaur.
"Opening it? But it's too big for me to open it!"
Nobody said anything. Midnight looked at them. The woman looked angry and pierced her with her eyes. The Centaur, however, smiled encouragingly.
The girl turned around to face the door again. With a shaking hand, she grabbed the handle but let go of it at once as it started turning rapidly. There was a loud cracking sound as the door began to move quickly and then they could hear noise coming from the other side. It sounded like people talking, shouting, laughing.
"Here, put this on!" the Centaur urged as he pulled Valrya's long cape over the tiny girl's shoulders. "And put the hood on! Quickly! Now walk with us and don't say a word, do you understand?"
His voice was grave. Midnight nodded, then pulled the hood over her face.

Lily Luna Potter was scared. She has never been so scared in her entire nineteen years on earth. She doesn't understand. She thinks that she might, she might , maybe love Teddy Lupin. Ted, Teddy, Theodore, Teddy-bear Lupin, her god-brother. TeddyandVictoire Teddy. Teddy isn't for her. Because Teddy is for beautiful (boring) girls like Victoire. Ah yes, Victoire may as well be Victoire Lupin, because we all knopw its coming. Even if they've been dating (on and off) for 10 years. But then Teddy does something Teddyish and it all falls to pieces. for example, last night he did something Teddyish. He kissed his little God- sister. And not in an 'oh-night-night-Lils' way. In an 'oh-just-going-to-snog-your-face-off-Lils' way. In a way that made poor, scared and confused little Lily Luna find some feelings she was pretty sure shouldn't be there way. She knew he loved her (though whether her meant her as in Lily or her as in Victoire, poor little Lily wasn't sure). She, Lily Luna, was a little insane, a lot selfish and tad wild. She, Victoire, was perfect as virgin snow, pretty as an angel and never, ever selfish. Victoire would never kiss her cousin's boyfriend. Victoire would never fall for someone's soul mate. And selfishinsanewild Lily had. More than once. First when she was just a little thirteen year old. She had 'fallen in love' with Scorpius Malfoy, her cousin Rose's bestfriend turned boyfriend turned husband. She'd nearly ruined both the love lives of Scorpius and Rose and her relationship with Rose. Second when she had fallen for Lorcan Scamander, at the age of 16. Lorcan was her friend, her closest non-relative friend. lorcan was destined for Lucy, Lily's daydreamy cousin. Everyone knew that, except of course, poor deluded Lils. Eventually that one had run itself out. Well, if catching Lucy and Lorcan having a heated, er, session, in a cupboard was running itself out. So selfish Lily had decided, in the doorway of a cupboard, that she wouldn't date anyone connected to her family. That had lasted three years, give or take a couple of months. Now, for the third time unlucky, she is(maybe a little bit completely) in love with a boy who was very much connected with her irritatingly massive family. This time was evn more hopeless than the others. Teddy is 29, Lily is barely 19, and maybe there wasa massive age gap with his parents, but history repeating itself would be an unbearable cliche. Although currently, Lily would bear it. Teddy is loving and loveable (and completely empty, but only Lily knows or understands). Lily, however, only loves Hugo and Teddy. She likes the rest of her family, but onlyHugo and Teddy never gave up. Hugo is perfect too. Well, he'd been an annoying teenaged boy, but he'd grown out of that and was now a relatively mature 20 year old man. it was strange that he was growing up. He who'd been with her since that day in august when she'd been born. Hugo would be a much better boy (sorry, man) to fall in love with, who cares about the cousincest (Lily is pretty sure that's the correct term). But she can't do that. She would steal away in the dead of night, much like she had the day she'd found out about Lucy and Lorcan. She'll pick up some bad habits (maybe drinking and smoking again). She'll have a string of meaningless 'boyfriends', and maybe even some girlfriends, if she really needs to take her mind off Teddy boy, from Cambridge to Canberra. She'll stop feeling, replace her bleeding heart with a metal device (kind of like Dominique did). She'll drop in on her God-son, little Leo Orion Malfoy. Rose and Scorpius will try to mend her, feed her, then send her on to the only perso other than Teddy who fixes her problems (because, for once, Teddy is the problem). Hugo. He'll make it better, let her cry any tears that the metal device will let her. He'll take off the tape that screams FRAGILE! and he'll send her on, one last time, to Teddy. And she'll give Teddy a sad, sad smile. She'll show him the tatoos that she's bound to get, printed all over her skinny body, yellow from the alcohol or white from the misery. She'll let him see it's all his fault, from that one kiss sparks all of her brokeness. She'll leave in a nightmarish whirl of faded colours and maybe become a human again.
Her other idea is to just apparate to Teddy's, where there is a possibility he will be with (perfect) Victoire, already forgetting the kiss he shared with his baby god-sister. Maybe she'll do a more eloquent, yet raw, version of what she did to poor Scorpius all those years ago, pouring out her heart, telling him he feels the same. Yeah, because that went so well first time around. She'll ask him to hold her like he did when she was eight and they all went camping (her, her brothers, Teddy and her parents) and there was that rain that hammered on the tent and scared her, until she was almost as scared as she is now. He held her until four a.m, when she fell fast asleep. Maybe if she's feeling particularly nostalgic they'll play the game with no rules or winners or losers, where Teddy keeps changing his hair and face for her. Maybe she was so selfish because of that game and the way he bent to her every wish. He'll tell her he loves her and she won't know what he means, and he'll never tell her, because truth be told, she doesn't reckon that he knows either. She'll crash onhis couch, she needs no invitation, then she'll wake up with tear tracks making her cheeks stiff and last night's make up smudged all over her face. And the memories of the night before will all flood back and fill her with hope before Victoire waltzes in, a vision in night wear, with a patronising smile painted on her features and ask her if she wants breakfast. And without a word Lily would run away again, trying desperately not to cry or vomit as she loses herself in an unfamiliar city.
Yeah, maybe she'll do that, either of her not so brilliant plans. But either way she'll end up alone. And as scared as ever.

Or Do You?Mature
Now breathe,
it's alright, not too much damage tonight.
But,you lost control, didn't you?
you lost it and almost drowned yourself
in that fake smile,
in those
(I'm fine! Really! They're just cat scratches, I swear!)
(I was just itchy; long, sharp nails y'know?)
But they didn't believe you, did they?
Who did they call this time?
Was it your mum,
or maybe the therapist?
Oh! Did they finally hear your bunny rabbit voice talking about
how all the faces chase you in your dreams,
and that they're by your bedside
when you're finally brave enough to open your eyes?
(I bet they called in a psychiatrist.)
You're a fuck up,
with a prescription of doubt;
(Just what the doctor ordered for you distorted reality, maybe take another dose for the beacon that still fails to light that bitter soul)
they're dragging you down,their voices screeching in your ear-
LOOK. Look in the goddamn mirror-
whose face do you see?
Is it yours?
Tell, do you even know yourself anymore?
I think, you're too feral to notice they're drugging you with your own sorrows,
they'll bury you in the morning,
Larks, singing your demise.
But you wanted nightingales didn't you?
Do you even know?
Is there anything that can bring you back home?
To the lights, the songs, that unending hope?
Poor little demon,
with your poor demon role,
You just don't have any way to cope-
Or do you?

People and Themes in Homer's Odyssey
€ 36,49
epub eBook
Sofort lieferbar (Download)
Januar 2015
BeschreibungPublished in 1970, this important work interprets the poem with a focus on the idiosyncrasies of its originally oral composition. In part I, the main themes of the Odyssey such as 'guest-friendship' and 'testing' are investigated. The incorporation of these and other themes, such as 'omens' and the 'homecomings of the Achaeans', into the dramatic construction of the whole epic is also examined. In Part II, the main characters of the Odyssey are described: the Suitors, Telemachus, Odysseus and Penelope. So too are Theoclymenus and Laertes, whom traditional criticism has maligned or disregarded. The analysis of the characters tries to illumine features which are challenging for the contemporary reader. In the conclusion, the 'plan' of the Odyssey is reconstructed. The author argues that it would probably have been performed over the course of three days: two sessions each day, with each recitation maintaining its own artistic unity.

Christmas has come, hopefully you are the proud owner of some of our favourite devices of 2010, and now you need an elegant solution to charge them all. Step forward iDapt...
The i4 is the company's latest evolution of its i3 and i2 multi-device charging platform and - as the name suggests - it can support simultaneous charging of up to four devices. So what, there are many products on the market which can do that. The big news, however, is in a sector dominated by poorly designed tat, the i4 gets pretty much everything right - for a price.
Where iDapt succeeds right from the off is where most multi-chargers fail: design. Whereas most solutions employ as many wires as the chargers they are meant to replace, the i4 uses a dock with interchangeable tips. This means there is just one cable (to the wall socket) and the tips lock into the dock in any arrangement desired. They lock in with a solid and satisfying click too and only come out when both buttons either side of each tip are pressed - the release being strong enough that the tips actually leap a good 3-4 inches out their slot. In practice it is a wonderfully simple, flexible and extremely robust system.
Three of the four charging points work in this manner - their uneven distribution (two at the top, one at the bottom) allows larger devices the extra room to charge. Meanwhile the fourth charging port is a powered USB slot on the right hand side, simple and practical.
In the box iDapt bundles tips for a dock connector (Apple iPods, iPhones and iPad), micro and mini USB, as well as tips for Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson mobile phones. Other tips can be purchased separately with the selection currently including ones for Nintendo DSi and DS-L, a DC output and a neat double AA/AAA battery charger. All retail for £6 each, except for the AA/AAA tip which is £12. With the i4 itself retailing for £39.99 costs can quickly mount and it is almost certain that - depending on your manufacturer allegiance - you'll probably need more than one dock connector or micro USB tip.
I have the previous version of this device - less glitzy, but same concept.
There is a serious flaw with this product - all devices being charged have zero support to stand up apart from their charging sockets - this is NOT the strongest point of any device. Absolutely any movement sideways will bugger up the charging socket.
Additionally, it is rubbish for a device where the charging socket is not in the middle e.g. Blackberry. You have to manually balance the device (using pieces of paper / cardboard). They appear to have carried over this design 'feature' to this version as well.
Excellent concept - rubbish implementation. Save your money.
Reminds me of the last great steam engines before they were replaced. Good though it may be, perhaps good enough for a last hurrah, solutions like this need to be gracefully retired by wireless charging.
@Prem - I had no problem with this. In fact I charged an iPhone 4, Kindle 3G and TomTom on it without any hassle.
@Greg - yes, in theory - but see our recent review of Powermat to see how theory and reality can be very different.
PS Merry Christmas everyone!
@Gordon, agreed, my lovely wife bought me a powermat for xmas. My initial delight was quickly extinguished when I realised I would have to shell out for receiver covers. Guess what though, it would appear that the current best selling phone series HTC Desire & Desire HD are NOT supported....WTF. Waste of money, will be returned and promptly replaced with one of these i4's.
Totally agree. How the heck something without support can be regarded as great design is beyond me. Apple in particular are notoriously difficult over dock connector damage.
@Tony Walker - did you see my reply to Prem Tony? There were no stability issues at all with the i4.
I received mine today and I can confirm there are no stability issues. Very impressed with this!
Looks interesting, but all I want is standards for phone and laptop chargers so they all work with each other. I mean they're all charged by electricity anyway.
I'm no electrician, but we need regulation for this, surely?
I've had the pink version for the past 18 month the idea of this is great but the little connections often don't work in fact 2 didn't work when I got it a further 2 broke within the first month due to the instability caused by the weight of the device being charged (galaxy note 2) does not charge the ipad on the tips even if you do provide support, it seems there is not enough power. Now I've bought iPhones with lightning connectors but won't be getting the tips for connecting, they are too expensive to keep replacing.

A First Encounter
Gordon Journal Entry 52
As I have described in the first 51 entries, I've been noticing this girl named Emma. Up to this point, I have been too nervous to make any kind of contact with her. Sure I was observing her, but I never got closer than ten feet. Our lockers aren't close to one another, so I never had that excuse to be near her.
We had an encounter today, though. I helped her with her books. I made sure that I didn't look too long at her books, but I didn't have that concern with her. She is so beautiful. I love everything about her. One day I will tell her that ... but not anytime soon.
I didn't say anything to her today. Maybe I will have the nerve the next time. Or, maybe I will continue to bump into her. Only time will tell. I wonder if she thinks about me like I think about her.

We just received a tip from a very reliable source that we were able to verify regarding J.Crew's Cyber Monday sale. This year it appears that all sale items at jcrew.com are an extra 40% off the lowest marked price with you enter promo code HOLIDAY at checkout. Then for all regularly priced items, you'll save a cool 30%. This is actually what's being offered over Black Friday.
But this year the better deals can be found at J.Crew Factory (that's at jcrewfactory.com and at all Factory Outlet stores). This year they are offering the entire store at 50% off. But it's get's even better for those shopping online – You'll get an EXTRA 15% off your total order and free shipping when you enter promo code TODAYONLY at checkout.
Both offers expire at 11:59pm ET on November 30, 2015.
You'll notice that many retailers out there extend their Black Friday sale to Cyber Monday or have something similar but with a small twist (something with additional perks). This Cyber Monday, J.Crew did exactly that. They extended their Black Friday sale and added a cherry on top it (which quite frankly should be done in the first place during the entire sale event, but, whatever – that's neither here nor there). What are we talking about? Drum roll please…
J.Crew extended their Black Friday sale that started on November 26, 2014 at 12.01 am (that was the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving Day) of 30% off full-priced styles and 40% off sale styles with promo code MONDAY at checkout and offered … ta daaa… free standard shipping on all orders made it during the Cyber Monday but not on Black Friday! Now, you can really enjoy their promo. Again this deal is for jcrew.com and J.Crew local stores and excludes all the factory outlet stores.
See below for more details and offer terms.

Good looking heavy duty seat covers. Easy to install. Fit a little off at seat hinge but not enough to be a problem. Material looks easy to clean and looks like it will hold up well. Would definitely recommend.
