Don't Forget To Remeber Me
Book by: FutureMarinesGirl
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter13 (v.1) - A Billion Pictures
Wyatt and I crept into the house quietly since it was about 3.30 in the morning. I walked into Dad's office that no one ever went into when he wasn't home. I looked around slowly. No one ever had the heart to come in here anymore till Dad got home. It felt wrong. I looked around at all the pictures Dad hung up since we lived here. It was amazing at how many pictures of Wyatt and Me were in here. Every year Mom would take a picture and he would keep it. Now 18 years was a lot, and with all the other events that hung on the walls and in photo frames on his desk and on the book shelf. It was overwhelming sometimes. But I wouldn't change it. It shows that Dad really loved us, all of us. I put the trophy down on the desk next to his computer and turned the lights off, feeling like I needed out. I needed to try to forget that Dad was over 4,000 miles away from here. I needed to forget that he may not come home. I just needed to worry about myself right now. I shouldn't be worrying about this. I needed sleep. I rubbed my eyes before making my way out of the office. I shut the door tight, so Max wouldn't get in and be his puppy self and made my way to my bed room. I looked into the boys' room to see them happily asleep, not worrying about anything. The biggest worry Bentley has is what crayon he will use tomorrow at Day Care, or what sleeping mat with he sleep on. How I missed being his age.

This door gasket is used to seal the freezer door when closed.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, KENMORE®, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
My husband took off the old gasket and replaced it with the new one. The old gasket was split in several places, and actually, since the freezer is about 27 years old, I didn't think we could find a gasket at all. I'm still not sure that it is sealing as it should since I don't hear the sound that indicated pressurizing. During storage and/or shipping, the gasket had developed a kink in it. I did lay it out on the floor in hopes the kink would straighten out some, which it sort of did. We plan to do just a little more adjusting to the hinge in hope that finishes the problem.

No, it's not an ONION article... "Fortunately, Mr. Crossen, who is 77 years old, found a new audience in the "Dull Men's Club," a regular gathering in this town south of Boston. There is no agenda other than to salute the quiet eccentricities of everyday life. The club started with two men meeting monthly, and nearly 10 years later includes about 30 men meeting weekly."

One More Adventure
I was an Adventurer, but I thought they were over. I thought that I was finally safe.
I guess not.
BANG! The explosion desintigrated the deck under my feet. I hit the water and tried swimming for safety but the pull of the current from the sinking ship sucked me down until the light was dim and murky. My lungs were bursting and my ears hurt from the pressure. I wasn't superstitious like many of my shipmates, but at that moment I was more than a bit worried for my so-quoted "Immortal Soul".
Suddenly the current yanked me up and I practically exploded from the water. I floated there for a while, breathing, before I realized where I was. I had been swept along and into a cavern that glowed with an eirie blue light.
"Welcome," said a voice. Uh oh. I thought.
"Um. . . Hi!" I tried to be enthusiastic, even though the voice was emotionless, even flat. "Lovely cavern, very nice decorations." I noted the eerie crystals that shed the strange blue light. From my position in the pool of water, I could almost see something, like those shadows you see in your room that you think are 10 foot tall monsters. It seemed to be shed by a rock. Suddenly a very tall (I'm talking like, oh, 10 feet tall) woman leaned over the rock, pearing at me as if to see me better.
'Thank you." She said, I couldn't tell if she had a tail or not. I squirmed under her intense stare.
"Y-your welcome." I stuttered. She continued to stare at me for a while, untill. "Could you turn the lights up please?" I asked, the blue light was doing nothing to help me as the cold water, up to my wast, penetrated my entire being, chilling me to the bone. I was shivering now, and my teeth were chattering, so my request actually sounded more like. "C-c-could you t-turn the lightss up-p puh-please?" There was laughter from behind the rock and the lights turned a bright gold, lighting the cavern up very nicely. Only one remained relativly unchanged. It was a very nice purple. It had been purple before my request, but since it wasn't blue I didn't mind. Now I could see the lady more clearly and what I saw astounded me. She was only half lady. Make that a quarter. From her chest down there were scales, ending in a very nice fin. Scaly Tail. I thought ruefully, thinking of a certain someone I had met once. But the lady stopped laughing almost immiediatly.
"Enough." The laughter stopped and I began shivering all the more. "You have tresspassed here." She said dramatically.
"I-I'm sorry. I didnt mean to. You see my ship-"
"Enough! You shall be punished for your insolence. Daughters! Prepare the magic of Neptune!" Splashes and sudenly there were people swimming in the water around me. Beautiful people. Their strange underwater dance fascinated me and I was pulled underwater. I couldnt go up for air, they held me down, everything went dark.

The Third Princess: Part Ten
People lined the streets, and shops were closed, and giant colorful tents were being erected all over the city, creating the illusion Aquebonica was being taken over by giant butterflies. I nudged Raven and he galloped down the hill into the city. He seemed excited, as if he recognized the place where he had been born, which he probably had. We soon reached a tavern, and the tavern keeper was standing outside the door, just about to lock it.
"Excuse me, sir, may I have a moment?"
The tavern keeper nodded. "But hurry it up, missy, there be a festival and parade today, and a pretty penny to be made."
"May I tie my horse here for the festival? I am a traveling dancer, and the rest of my troupe has already arrived, but they left me behind on accident this morning."
The tavern keeper stroked his thick brown beard. "There was a traveling dancing troupe, but they had all their dancers. Are ye sure ye aren't telling me a yarn here?"
I shook my head. "Not at all, kind sir, but I see I have detained you long enough."
He turned the key in the lock, and my eyes flashed brightly once, and the man turned back toward me. "Now I remember, yer troupe came in here this morning, going on and on about how they was missing their best dancer and how the show for the princess wouldn't be as good. Ye can keep yer horse here. Now go on, I'll tie him up for ye, ye best be getting to the parade."
I smiled. "Thank you, kind sir. I shall see you at the festival."
He nodded and tied Raven to the post by the door, and I ran down the street until I reached a troupe of dancers dressed in white clothing and grey-blue hoods.
"I am so excited to dance in the parade this year, now that the queen is allowing some of her guards to dance with us."
One girl laughed. "You're only excited because you get to dance with the handsome new champion, Derek."
Derek? My best friend Derek? Over the four years of isolation, my feelings of friendship for Derek had morphed into something stronger, and jealousy burned in my heart. When the girl who was dancing with Derek walked away from her troupe, I grabbed her and hit her with a wooden block that had been lying in the street. I caught her as she fell, unconscious. I turned her over and memorized her face, then closed my eyes and concentrated. After I felt the change, I looked at my new reflection in a shop mirror. The girl's golden hair replaced my raven locks, and her brown eyes stared at me in place of my green ones. I smiled and walked back to her troupe.
"Come on, Isa, Derek is waiting!" Isa's friend dragged me down the road to Derek. It took my breath away when I saw Derek. He had grown much taller, and training to be the queen's champion had given him new muscles that seemed to burst from his white shirt. His early morning eyes sparkled in the sun.
"Hello, Isa. Are you ready to dance today?"
I nodded. "Of course, Derek. Are you?" I relished the feeling of saying his name again after four years.
"Of course."
I looked at other couples practicing the dance. Thankfully, it was only a traditional Aquebonica folk dance, and one that I knew very well. Derek took my hand and led me to where the other dancers were lining up. The fast-paced music started, and we all began dancing down the street. Each time we completed the steps, the music sped up, and we danced faster until we were a whirl of white and black and grey-blue.
Derek wrapped his hands around my waist and lifted me to the sky and turned around. "You seemed to have lost weight, Isa."
"Have I?" I asked.
He nods, and then smiles, which breaks my concentration and I feel the illusion of Isa slipping.
"Alyessia?" he asks incredulously. "It is you, isn't it?"
I nod. By now, everyone has noticed Derek and I have stopped dancing.
"All hail, Crown Princess Alyessia has returned to us!" Derek shouts. The crowd looks around at each other in shock and wonder.
"May I?" he asks. I nod again and he takes away my cloak, completely revealing who I am.
"Princess Alyessia!" runs through the crowd.
"Alyessia, I must take you to see your mother! She…well, all of us have been waiting for you to come back for a long time."
I smile. "I know you have, Derek. But I wasn't ready until today."
With a grin, Derek grabs my hand tightly and runs with me down the street through the parade, just like we used to do when he was only thirteen and I was only twelve.

I looked behind me to see James leaning against one of the masts. I smiled.
"I can see you, James," I smirked, and walked towards the bow, and hopped on, "So, go away." I let the wind blow in my face. The cloud breezes are very relaxing.
Later that night, I pulled out a mouse that was on board and put it in a bag. Luckly, it was still asleep. It's like a war. But this is mostly just a prank for basicly stalking me the whole day!
I slipped past all the sailors. I was the only girl on board, sadly, I went onto a stool and slipped the mouse into James' hammock. I decided to hide and watch the fun.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 10/30/12
Today, let's start with our concluding point: Tony Romo is playing some of the worst football of his career. After a 4 interception performance against the Giants, not only does he take over the league lead in interceptions, but he does it by a healthy margin with 13. Three others have 10 picks, the likes of Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden, and Andy Dalton. Interceptions are not the be-all, end-all of Quarterbacking, but to have elite QB rating numbers and efficiency, you are going to have to have 2 to 3 times as many touchdowns as interceptions. Drew Brees has thrown plenty of picks in the last 5 seasons (72), but when you have 167 touchdowns during that same stretch (95), odds are pretty good that you are having success. Heck, the all-time interception king is Brett Favre, with a likely untouchable total of 336, but given his equally all-time leading touchdown totals of 508, was seen as much more good than bad (172). Romo is 73 for his career, but a painful -4 for his season. And his 13 picks is already the 3rd most of his 7-year career. After always being amongst the league leaders in QB rating with numbers in the mid to high 90s, he finds himself below Jay Cutler and right next to Michael Vick in 2012, with a 78 QB rating (very close to Quincy Carter's 71-type numbers). Even worse, Romo-apologists like me are so perplexed by his performance that a slam-dunk decision about getting his contract extension done now looks like a confusing dilemma moving forward after the last few duds in front of the home audience. What is happening to one of the more efficient QBs of this era? In almost all metrics, since he has come into the league, he is no worst than 5th when it comes to QB rating behind Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning. That is the entire list. Anyone else? And Romo has them on statistical metrics of the individual variety. It is tough to narrow down specifically what is happening, and honestly, to blame one aspect of the offense is to let others off the hook. But, the following items are true. Romo has turned the ball over more than anyone in the sport this year Romo has 0 TDs and 5 interceptions on 3rd and 4th downs Romo has the 33rd worst QB rating on 3rd Down of 34 qualifying QBs (Skelton, Arz) Those are the 3 most disconcerting numbers to this point. On 1st and 2nd down, he hasn't been great, but he hasn't been horrible, either. But, 3rd Down. And what, pray tell, do the Cowboys do almost exclusively on 3rd Down? They run their shotgun-spread-them-out offense. This year, Romo from shotgun is hitting 2 Touchdowns and 8 interceptions. Add to this 12 sacks from this alignment, and you see that many, many bad things are happening with 20 negative plays and just 2 Touchdowns to compensate. From under center, we see 7 Touchdowns and 5 interceptions, with only 1 sack against. This number is far from great, but again, at least it qualifies for acceptable. Now, how do those numbers jive with Sunday? Actually, all of the sacks came out of shotgun. But, on Sunday, 3 of the 4 interceptions came from under center. Which means, that Romo's ratio was far more impressive (7 TDs, 2 INTs) before the issues were completely different on Sunday. On Sunday, believe it or not, the Cowboys ideas were sound. They tried to run their offense from under center. They took smart shots down the field from a play-calling department (1st and 10) and they were sabotaged by the execution of their quarterback throwing into coverage and their receivers perhaps not bailing out their QB with sound routes or challenging the ball a little better (in the case of the Corey Webster pick). They even tried to stay with the run for a reasonable amount of time - of course, later in the game, they would concede that 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 were no place for running plays. But, when the Jason Pierre Paul interception hit - resulting off a simple screen play - the game plan had to be disassembled because they were down 23-0. Romo does not have very good pass protection, and the Giants were making sure to demonstrate that almost at will on Sunday. On Thursday, I want to break that down and find out which pass protectors are having the most trouble (that might be a real challenge). But, given that very few teams give up fewer sacks than the Cowboys, we cannot say that this is the exclusive issue, can we? When Rodgers has taken 28 sacks and yet has a 21 TD4 INT ratio, is it fair to blame this mess all on the offensive line for 13 Romo sacks? On the other hand, maybe Rodgers is the exception, because the other list of QBs who are sacked a lot are also a list of losing QBs and high INT QBs. Over the course of his career, Romo is better under the center with a 101.5 rating, versus a 91.5 rating from shotgun. But, there is nothing wrong with 91, so either way he has been quite proficient no matter how they align their offense. But, in 2012, everything has gone south. Surely, it is mostly based on 2 games (Chicago and New York) and we shouldn't over-react to a small sample size when we have 7 seasons to look at. He is one of the most efficient QBs in this entire generation, but something is desperately wrong. Getting DeMarco Murray back would really help. Better pass protection would help. Romo fighting the urge to do too much would help. But, I wonder how the play-calling will react to this. Will they now go in an offensive shell and try to win a game 17-14? Or will they trust the philosophy and simply try to clean up the poor decisions and execution? Data from Week 7 vs New York Giants Run-Pass17-66Starting Field PositionD 261st Down Run-Pass8-302nd Down Avg Distance to Go5.962nd Down Run-Pass7-213rd Down Avg Distance to Go6.433rd Down Run-Pass1-153rd Down Conversions7-14, 50 We are going to look at a lot of data, but I am not sure how much of it is useful in a game where a team falls behind so early. You do wonder about how a team can look so poorly within their first 15 plays. But, for the life of me, it seems that the play calls were generally sound, the execution was what was horrid. PASSING CHARTS: Here are the passing charts to see what was being accomplished on Sunday. Blue is a completion. Red is incomplete. Yellow is a touchdown, and Black is an interception. The passes are lines from where Romo released the pass to where the pass was caught. This shows you his release point and where he likes to throw when he slides in the pocket. Clearly, there was almost nothing over the top to be found by the Giants. 1st Half 2nd Half - Here is a chart dedicated to the huge day for Jason Witten, below: Drive Starters -The 1st play of each drive can often reveal the intent of a coach to establish his game plan. How committed is he to the run or pass when the team comes off the sideline? We track it each week here - Wk 1-At New York: 9 Drives - 5 Run4 Pass Wk 2-At Seattle: 9 Drives - 3 Run6 Pass Wk 3-Tampa Bay: 13 Drives - 7 Run6 Pass Wk 4-Chicago: 11 Drives - 3 Run8 Pass Wk 5-At Baltimore: 10 Drives - 8 Run2 Pass Wk 6-At Carolina 10 Drives - 6 Run4 Pass Wk 7-New York: 14 Drives - 4 Run10 Pass Season: 76 Drives 36 Run40 Pass - 47 Run 2011 Total: 181 Drives - 79 Run102 Pass 44 Run SHOTGUN SNAPS- Shotgun snaps are fine on 3rd Down and in the 2 minute drill. But, we track this stat from week to week to make sure the Cowboys aren't getting too lazy in using it. They are not efficient enough to run it as their base, and with a 1585 runpass split across the league, there is no way the defense respects your running game. When shotgun totals are high, the Cowboys are generally behind, scared of their offensive line, or frustrated. High Shotgun numbers are not this team's calling card for success. There is no question that in this particular game, it was going to be a situation where the game-plan was scrapped, and the shotgun was primarily used. Honestly, I expected more than 48 when predicting the final numbers on Sunday. Wk 1 - NYG: 1554 27.7 Wk 2 - Sea: 2956 52 Wk 3 - TB: 3463 54 Wk 4 - Chi: 5068 74 Wk 5 - Balt: 1979 24 Wk 6 - Car: 2264 34 Wk 7 - NYG: 4883 58 2012 Season Total: 227467 49 2011 Total - 4451012 43.9 Here is the breakdown by groupings: Before you study the data below, I would recommend that if the numbers for the groupings are unfamiliar, that you spend some time reading a more expanded definition of thePersonnel Groupings here. Totals by Personnel Groups: PackagePlays RunYardsRunPass117754-93-661215684-1311-55131-21-(-2)0-0214101-33-722121-20-023624-12-1S01000-00-0S026190-06-19S11411261-(-1)40-261S12280-02-8Knee1-11-(-1)0-0Totals8344116-2567-417 - Knee Plays are not counted in play calls. 23 personnel got plenty of work down at the goal-line twice for 6 snaps, and seemed to demonstrate that do not have the ability to get a yard. This might be the best explanation why they did not attempt the run on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 later in the game. This is not a physical offense and won't be until it is emphasized more by the organization. Totals by Personnel Groups on 3rd4th Down: PackagePlaysYardsRunPassFDTD11000-00-00012000-00-00013000-00-00021000-00-00022000-00-00023211-11-001S01000-00-000S10000-00-000S1114890-014-8950S12000-00-000Totals16901-115-8951 Overall, the offense found a lot of yards out there, but when 6 different drives end in turnovers, you really should have no chance. The fact that they did have a chance in the end and nearly pulled it off speaks more to the internal fight and the job of the defense. But, from a standpoint of preparing all week and then going out and executing your plan, this has to be defined as a complete and total failure from the entire offensive unit. In the last decade, there have been 61 occasions when one team has turned the ball over 6 times. The team doing the deed is 3-58. The exceptions were the Cowboys miracle in Buffalo (2007), the Bears winning in Arizona in the "They were who we thought they were" game, and a Jacksonville win in Cleveland in 2010. It seems rather needless to say that this is the only statistic worth discussing from Sunday. Everything else were just numbers on a page.

Tate & Lyle to Manufacture Farnesene for Amyris
Amyris entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas, an affiliate of Tate & Lyle. Under this arrangement, Tate & Lyle will produce farnesene at its facilities in Decatur, IL. The produced farnesene will be owned and distributed by Amyris.
This arrangement with Tate & Lyle expands Amyris' contracted production capacity. Amyris entered into a similar agreement in June with a Biomin facility in Piracicaba, Brazil. Amyris expects to begin production of farnesene at the Biomin facility in the first half of 2011.
Amyris is using contract manufacturing capacity to produce farnesene at commercial scale to supply customer demand in advance of the start up of Amyris' first commercial plant under its joint venture with Grupo São Martinho.
"We are excited to be collaborating with Tate & Lyle to accelerate our commercial production of farnesene," says John Melo, CEO of Amyris. "Beyond supporting our commercial production targets in 2011, we believe that this partnership will allow us to leverage Tate & Lyle's world-leading expertise in aseptic fermentation operations as we ramp our industrial scale."

By Naomi Stark, Georgetown CCF Research Assistant
The Affordable Care Act provided an enormous opportunity for coverage of many immigrant and mixed status families eligible for premium tax credits in the health insurance marketplace. However, due to a variety of enrollment barriers, many of those eligible for these critical benefits are unable to enroll. Action for Health Justice (AHJ), a network of national and community-based organizations working with Asian Americans (AA) and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI), recently published an account of the first open enrollment period for these communities, including concrete and feasible recommendations for improving enrollment in health coverage.
AHJ based the report on information garnered by its network of assistance organizations, estimated to have served more than 200,000 people in the first open enrollment period. The study found four primary barriers to enrollment, two of which—language access and concerns related to immigration status—are always high on the list when working with immigrant communities. The other two barriers—low health literacy and the lack of disaggregated data for different cultural and linguistic communities eligible for coverage—are less obvious, but equally instrumental in getting immigrant and mixed status families enrolled in coverage.
AHJ recommendations include:
- Improve training for everyone that has the potential to help immigrant and limited English Proficient communities enroll. The report encourages improved training for call center operators, interpreters, navigators, and other enrollment assisters to better serve immigrant LEP consumers. The authors recommend cultural competency training, as well as educating assisters on immigrant eligibility rules. Interpreters need to be well versed not only in translation, but also in health insurance concepts and terminology in order to ensure consistent, effective, and accurate transmission of information between assisters and consumers.
- Upgrade the quality of translated materials. The authors promote the development and distribution of more effective translated resources and in-language tools. These tools should be available in all forms for enrollment: websites, online applications, and paper applications; and should be available in a wider variety of language options.
- Retool Call Center process for greater accessibility for LEP Consumers and Assisters. The report recommends developing prompts in multiple languages to allow for automatic transfer to a translator in the appropriate language—thus saving time and resources for both parties. Further, call centers should prioritize hiring bilingual staff and issue specialists who will have greater ease of communication with consumers with particular linguistic, cultural, and status-specific needs.
- Allocate more resources to support in-person assistance. This includes funding existing community organizations that have experience working with LEP, immigrant and hard-to-reach populations. The involvement of the non-profit sector has the potential to greatly expand ACA outreach activities. There are many organizations with a proven track record of effective service to the communities who have thus far underutilized the ACA expansion of health care access.
- Rethink the enrollment experience—particularly identity verification and immigration status verification—in time for the next open enrollment period. For the next enrollment period, the authors recommend that CMS work with the U.S. Department of Homeland security to clarify policies and rules of implementation. For example, proof of identity procedures have proved a major barrier to enrollment, and need re-tooling. Additionally, an improved system that allows users to follow the status of pending applications should be put in place to mitigate confusion and anxiety.
- Enforce non-discrimination laws. Nondiscrimination laws require firm monitoring and enforcement for the upcoming enrollment period. Section 1557 of the ACA provision prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin, among other protected categories. Addressing the barriers to ACA mandated health-care access is precisely what the law demands.
- Target existing gaps in the health literacy. Consumer education materials should be gauged at existing health literacy levels. In practice, this requires an explanation of essential information regarding the costs and benefits of different health plan options.
The changes that AHJ recommends will require hard work by federal and state officials running the marketplaces and Medicaid/CHIP programs, and their contractors and partners. However, dissolving these barriers could lead to stark improvements in health coverage for the AA and NPHI community, and myriad other hard-working immigrant and mixed status families.

No longer get Fox or My9.
Is it Cablevision or is it FOX?
This is the second time this has happened with a channel on Cablevision, so I guess it might be Cablevision.
I'm going to have to watch this game online now.
Fox wants to receive $150m per year, they currently get $75m per year from cablevision.
Cable apparently offered a "fair increase" so probably around the $100m mark, and fox pulled programming. So effectively it is foxs fault, but Cable should pay so I can watch the boys ( now I have to go waste money at hooters lol
So it sounds like Cablevision is low-balling channels, compared with other providers. Last time it happened it was with some garbage channel, like HGTV, but now they're screwing with our football; I might have to dump these chumps.
At least you have a Hooters near you, football and hottties serving you. Not a bad deal.
Write them a letter.
That ought to help.
direct tv(i think) is about to lose fox as well, so 'get what i pay for.com' has been advertising so you can find other providers
Lucky I switched to DirecTV just before the season started.
Cablevision is horrid when it comes to customer service. This isn't the first time a channel has disappeared (or was going too)
James Dolan sucks.
Dish network is losing FOX Nov. 1
is it dish? i knew it was one of the satellite companies
Yeah it is my provider which means I will have to go somewhere else to watch the Cowboys games. But oh well, if I weren't lazy I would go set up analog antenna again and find out how to put that off-air through my box, but screw it.
Dish is losing Fox?
Dish has already lost all fox programming but local fox which it's contract expires on 10/31. Fx, fox sports, and a few other channels. According to Fox it has been trying to negotiate with Dish for 6 months but Dish has not been willing to work out a new deal.

Woods two ahead after testing day at Sherwood
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
THOUSAND OAKS, California (Reuters) - Tiger Woods stayed on track for his sixth victory of the year as he maintained a two-shot lead after a brutally difficult day for scoring at the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge on Saturday.
The American world number one ground out a level-par 72 in blustery winds with several tough pin positions at Sherwood Country Club to end the third round of the tournament which he hosts at 11-under 205.
In glorious late afternoon sunshine after a rainy start to the day, Woods rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt at the par-four last to retain control of an event he has won a record five times.
"It was a tough day," Woods, who frequently backed off shots as the breezes shifted, told reporters after offsetting four birdies with four bogeys.
"The wind was all over the place. It was really tough to pull clubs and the greens were softer. They were still pretty quick, and unless you got (the ball) above the hole, there are some really difficult pins out there.
"So it made it even more imperative to miss the ball in the right spots (below the hole), because we weren't going to always hit the ball tight. Obviously a lot of guys shot some higher numbers."
Compatriot Zach Johnson, the first-round leader, was alone in second place after sinking an 18-foot birdie putt at the last for a 72. Bubba Watson, the 2012 Masters champion, was a further two strokes back at seven under, after a 69.
Only four players in the elite field of 18 dipped under par for the day, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy the best of them with a six-birdie 68 that left him a distant 13 shots off the pace. Continued...

Madame Kovarian: Closing InMature
He had done more or less exactly what I had expected of him - he had come on board and won. I had been expecting it for such a long time now, so long that I had prepared myself for this day.
"How are the prisoners?" I barked at a nearby soldier.
"They're running away." He hesitated, as if afraid of me. "Should we capture them?"
I smirked. "Of course not."
He looked at me in surprise before returning to his work. I looked out at where the ship had been. There was something there - like a lingering echo of it. I took control of the weapons system and shot in that direction, worrying slightly when the echo became more concentrated and started to follow the beam back to its source.
This ship.
"The planet is fighting back. This ship is about to go down. You stand your ground against that thing. If any of you survive to the planet's surface then you look for the artifact. Understood?" The soldiers nodded weakly.
I left the control room, climbing into my escape pod.
"Oh Doctor." I muttered as I left the main ship. "This isn't the end. This moment has been prepared for."

text: Prolog Programming Lecture Module 13 Objective ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● What is Prolog? Prolog program Syntax of Prolog Prolog Control Strategy Execution of Prolog Query Programming Techniques Termination Rule Order Goal Order Rule Redundancy Iterative Programming What is Prolog? ● Prolog is acronym of PROgramming in LOGic. ● Prolog program is sequence of rules and facts. ● Prolog Rule for grandfather is defined as: gfather(X, Y) :- father(X, Z), parent(Z, Y). father(james, robert). Glimpse of Prolog Program /* Rules: "X is grand father of Y if X is father of Z who is parent of Y */ gfather(X, Y) :father(X, Z), parent(Z, Y). parent(X, Y) :father(X, Y). parent(X, Y) :mother(X, Y). /*Facts "James is father of robert" */ father(james, robert). father(mike, william). father(william, james). father(robert, hency). father(robert, cris). /* Goals ' Is abraham a grand father of mike?'*/ ?- gfather(abraham, mike). ?- gfather(X, Y). ?- father(X, Y), father(Y, mike). (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Back General Syntax of Prolog ● The rules and facts in Prolog are terminated by full stop (.). ● Goal can be included in the program or given at the prompt. ● Goal can be single or conjunction of sub-goal(s) terminated by full ● ● ● ● stop. Constants are numerals and symbols such as, 4, mary, etc. String is a sequence of characters and is enclosed within single quotes e.g., 'This is a string'. Predicate names must start with alphabet and are formed by using lower case letters, numerals and underscore ( _ ). Variable names are formed similar to predicate names but it must start with upper case letter. Normally, we use X, Y, Z, ... for variables. Prolog Control Strategy ● Prolog contains three basic control strategies. − Forward movement − Matching (Unification) − Backward movement (Backtracking) ● Prolog uses depth first search strategy. Forward Movement ● Choose a rule by − searching sequentially in the program from top to bottom whose head matches with the goal with possible unifier. − Remember the position of the matched rule. − Join the rule body in front of the sequence of sub goals to be solved. ● Repeat until either goal is satisfied or is failed. Forward Movement – Cont… ● Consider the following query consisting of n sub-goals. ?- G1, ... , Gi-1, Gi, ... , Gn ● Starts executing or satisfying G1 − If G1 is satisfied using some rule, put a place marker so that next rule for G1 will be searched after the marker. − Continue in forward direction to satisfy G2 and if it is satisfied then continue with common bindings of the variables in sub-goals so far satisfied. − Such a movement is called forward Unification ● Unification is a process of matching or finding the most general unifier. − Constant matches with the same constant. − A variable can match with any constant or any another variable. ● Examples − love(X, sita) unifies with love(ram, sita) with mgu as {X / ram}. − love(X, Y) unify with love(ram, sita) with mgu as {X / ram, Y / sita} respectively. Backtracking ● Backtracking refers to backtrack in search process for a solution. ● In Prolog, backtracking takes place in two situations. − First when a sub goal fails and − Other when the last sub goal succeeds, it backtracks to find alternative solutions. Types of backtracking ● Prolog has two kinds of backtracking. − Shallow and − Deep backtracking ● Both backtrackings take place in conjunction with each other. ● Shallow backtracking occurs − when alternative definition of the goal is tried. − Suppose G1,.., Gi-1 have been satisfied with some common bindings of the variables in subgoals. − While satisfying Gi., if it fails for some rule then try another rule of Gi − This is called shallow backtracking to rules of the same sub-goal Backtracking Cont… ● Deep backtracking occurs − When sub-goal Gi fails for all rules of Gi then backtrack to Gi-1. − This backtracking is called deep backtracking. − Remove the bindings created earlier to satisfy Gi-1. − Try to satisfy Gi-1 again by using an alternative rule, if it exists, from last place marker of Gi-1. and continue the process. − If sub goal Gi-1 is satisfied then move forward to Gi, else backtrack to Gi-2. − The process of backtracking continues till we reach G1. − If G1 fails for all possible definitions, then entire query fails. Backtracking Cont… ● If entire conjunction of sub-goals succeed, then the solution is displayed. ● For alternative solution, the sub goal Gn is tried to be satisfied with alternative rule, if it exist, after last place marker (Shallow backtracking) of Gn . ● Otherwise it backtracks to previous sub goal Gn-1 (Deep backtracking). ● Process is repeated till all possible solutions are generated. Prolog Query ● Two types of query − Ground query No variable in the argument Example: ? gfather(ram, shyam) – Is ram a grand father of shyam? Answer to ground queries are Yes or No Proof tree is generated while solving the query. − Non ground query Atleast one argument is a variable Example: ? gfather(X, shyam) – Who is a grand father of shyam? Answer to such queries are the values bound to the variables in the query. Search tree is generated using DFS to find all possible solutions. Execution of ground query Ground query: Prolog Program ?- gfather(james, hency). Proof tree: ?- gfather(james, hency). (1) ?- father(james, Z), parent(Z, hency). (4) { Z = robert } ?- parent(robert, hency). (2) ?- father(robert, hency). (7) succeeds Answer: Yes Execution of Non ground query Non-Ground query: ?- gfather(william, X). Search tree: Prolog Program ?- gfather(william, X). (1) ?- father(william, Z), parent(Z, X). (6) {Z = james} ?- parent(james, X). (2) (3) ?- father(james, X). ?- mother(james, X). (4) {X = robert} succeeds fails Answer: X = robert Programming Techniques ● Recursion is one of the most important execution control techniques in Prolog. ● Iteration is another important technique. ● Prolog does not support iteration. ● It can be achieved by programming − making recursive call to be the last sub goal in the rule − using the concept of accumulators which are special types of arguments used for holding intermediate results. ● The issues of termination, rule order, goal order and redundancy are also important. Recursion in Prolog ● Consider a classical example of computing factorial using recursion. ● Recurrence relation or mathematical definition for computing factorial of positive integer is: 1, if n = 0 FACTORIAL (n) = n * FACTORIAL (n-1), otherwise ● In Prolog, program for computing factorial of a positive number is written using above definition. ● Factorial predicate contains two arguments; one as input and another as output. Recursion - Cont.. /*fact(N, R) – succeeds if R is unified with the factorial of N */ factorial(0, 1). (1) factorial(N, R) :- N1 is N–1, factorial(N1, R1), R is N * R1. (2) ● Rule (1) states that factorial of 0 is 1 which is a terminating clause. ● Rule (2) is a recursive rule which states that factorial of N is calculated by multiplying N with factorial of (N-1). Goal: ?- factorial(3, R). Execution of factorial query Search tree: ?- factorial(3, R). (2) {N = 3} ?- N1 is N-1, factorial(N1, R1), R is N * R1 (2) {N1 = 2} ?-N2 is N1-1,factorial(N2,R2),R1 is N1*R2,R is N*R1. (2) {N2 = 1} ?-N3 is N2-1, factorial(N3, R3), R2 is N2 * R3…. (1) {N3 = 0, R3 = 1} ?- R2 is 1 * R3 , R1 is N1 * R2, R is N * R1. Succeeds {R2 = 1, R1 = 2, R = 6} List Manipulation in Prolog List is a common and very useful recursive data structure in non numeric programming. In Prolog, a list is represented by − − − elements separated by comma and enclosed in square brackets. Examples: A = [2, 4, 6, 8], B = [[a, b], [c], [p]]. Empty list with no elements is represented by [ ] and is useful for terminating recursive programs for list. Membership function ● An element is a member of a list if it matches with the head or if it is contained in the tail of the list. − The fact that it matches with the head of a list is written as: mem_list(X, [X | _ ]). − The rule that if an element does not match with the head, then it may be in the tail is written as: mem_list(X, [ _ | Y]) :mem_list(X, Y). mem_list(X, [X | _ ]). mem_list(X, [_ | Y]) :- mem_list(X, Y). − Underscore is used for non care entry. (1) (2) Ground Query Goal: ?- mem_list(d, [a, b, c, d, e, f]). Proof tree: ?- mem_list(d, [a, b, c, d, e, f]). (2) {X = d, Y = [b, c, d, e, f]} ?- mem_list(d, [b, c, d, e, f]). (2) {X = d, Y1 = [c, d, e, f]} ?- mem_list(d, [c, d, e, f]). (2) {X = d, Y2 = [d, e, f]} ?- mem_list(d, [d, e, f]). (1) succeeds Ans: Yes Non ground Query Goal: ?- mem_list(X, [a, b, c]). Search tree: ?- mem_list(X, [a, b, c]). (1) (2) {X = a} {Y = [b, c]} succeeds ?- mem_list(X, [b, c]). (1) (2) {X = b} {Y = [c]} succeeds ?- mem_list(X, [c]). (1) (2) {X = c} {Y = []} succeeds ?- mem_list(X, []). Answer:X = a; X = b; X = c fails Termination Depth first traversal of Prolog has a serious problem. If the search tree of a goal with respect to a program contains an infinite branch, the computation will not terminate. Prolog may fail to find a solution of a goal, even if the goal has a finite computation. Non termination arises because of the following reasons: − Left recursive rules: The rule having a recursive goal as the first sub goal in the body. Example ● Consider acyclic directed graph p q r s t ● Graph G is represented by set of connected edges. G = { edge(p, q), edge(q, r), edge(q, s), edge(s, t)} ● Write Prolog Program to check whether there is a route from one node to another node. Program ● Route from node A to B is defined as follows: − route from A to B if there is a root from A some node C and an edge from C to B. − route from A to B if there is a direct edge from A to B. ● Prolog Program route(A, B) :- route(A, C), edge(C, B). route(A, B) :- edge(A, B). edge(p, q). edge(q, r). edge(q, s). edge(s, t). (1) (2) back Query: Check whether there exist a route between nodes p and t . Proof tree Goal: ?- route(p, t). Proof tree: ?- route(p, t). (1) ?- route(p, X), edge(X, t) (1) ?- route(p, Y), edge(Y, X), edge(X, t). Non terminating ● Non terminating program because of left recursion. ● Better way of writing a rule is to write recursive call as the last call. route(A, B) :- edge(A, C), route(C, B). Circular Definition ● Non termination occurs because of Circular definition of the rules. ● For example, ground and nonground queries will not terminate with respect to the following program. teacher(X, Y) :- student(Y, X). student(X, Y) :- teacher(Y, X). student(robert, mike). student(john, robert). Example: ?- teacher(mike, robert) (1) ?- student(robert, mike) (2) ?- teacher(mike, robert) Non termination (1) (2) Rule Order ● A rule order is very important issue in Prolog. ● Change of the order of rules in a program, the branches in any search tree for a goal to be solved with that program get permuted. ● It may affect the efficiency of executing goal. ● Since the search tree is traversed using depth first approach, the order of solutions will be different. − Check the order of solutions obtained if rules are interchanged in a Prolog program (go). Goal Order ● Goal order in Prolog is more significant than rule order. ● It may affect the termination because − subsequent sub goals have different bindings and hence different search trees. ● Consider the following recursive rules. ancester(X, Y) :- parent(X, Z), ancester(Z, Y). route(X, Y) :- edge(X, Z), route(Z, Y). ● If the sub goals in the body of above rules are swapped, then the rules becomes left recursive and all the computations will become non terminating. ● It also affects the amount of search the program does in solving a query . Redundancy ● Redundancy of the solution to the queries is another ● ● ● ● important issue in Prolog programs. In Prolog, each possible deduction means an extra branch in the search tree. The bigger the search tree, higher the computation time. It is desirable in general to keep the size of the search tree as small as possible. Redundant program at times may cause exponential increase in runtime in the event of backtracking. Redundancy – Cont.. ● There are various reasons redundancy gets introduced. by which − The same case is covered by several rules − Redundancy in computation appears in the program by not handling special separately. − See examples given in the book. cases Iteration in Prolog Prolog does not have storage variables that can − hold intermediate results of the computation − be modified as the computation progress. To implement iterative algorithm one requires the storage of intermediate results, Prolog predicates are augmented with additional arguments called accumulators. These are similar to local variables in procedural languages. The programs written using accumulators are iterative in nature. In iterative form of a program, make the recursive call as the last call if possible. Iteration – cont… ● Prolog program for factorial using accumulators. ● Accumulators I and T are used for storing the counter value and intermediate computations fact (N, R) :fact1(N, R, I, T) :- fact1(N, R, 0, 1). I < N, J is I + 1, T1 is J * T, fact1(N, R, J, T1). fact1(N, R, N, R). (1) (2) (3) ● In prolog, predicates can be overloaded. So we can also use 'fact' instead of fact1. Search tree Goal: ?- fact (3, R). Search tree: ?- fact(3, R). (1) ?- fact1(3, R, 0, 1). (2) ?- 0 < 3, J is 1, T1 is 1 * 1, fact1(3, R, 1, 1). (2) ?- 1 < 3, J is 2, T1 is 2 * 1, fact1(3, R, 2, 2). (2) ?- 2 < 3, J is 3, T1 is 3 * 2, fact1(3, R, 3, 6). (2) fails Answer: R = 6 (3) {R = 6} succeeds

Walking Temples
Even though I've been practicing the presence of God for decades, I'm struck by something new about it. (Practicing the presence refers to having an awareness of God all day long in which we practice that interactive life with God in a mild sort of prayer; see Enjoying the Presence of God) It came to me as I was doing lectio divina in Romans and got to 8:26 where the Spirit prays for us. Where? In us through the mutual indwelling of the Spirit and me (Rom. 8:9; study buffs check out John 14:26; 1 Cor. 6:15-20; Eph. 2:22).
