J.M. Synge, one of the greatest English language playwrites of the 20th century, immortalized the Aran Islands and its people with vivid written portraits that are among the greatest in modern literature. Synge's vibrant language and earthy themes breathtakingly capture the folklore and way of life that has since perished on these remote northern islands.

Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase possess extraordinary pieces of an ancient puzzle that leads them from Singapore to the jungles of South America. Inside a storm of political and drug warfare, Nina is getting close to one of history's greatest secrets: the mythical golden city of El Dorado. As one discovery unveils another, Nina realizes that a legendary Incan leader made a deal with his Spanish captors - and hid forever the real El Dorado. Now, Nina and Eddie face a maze of death traps and betrayals, including one that reaches into Eddie's past in Afghanistan, even into his own family in England. Behind a waterfall in Peru is an unfound wonder of the world. And to get there, Nina and Eddie may have to sacrifice everything: their friends, their love for one another, even their lives.

Different narrator!
- Destin E Gautier
I really like this series of books and it ranks up at the tip with the rest of them, but I rarely run across a book I don't like
I've only just started listening to the book, but so far the plit seems pretty good. I like how there have been returning supporting characters such as Macy.
The narrator is why I'm writing this review. He's very slow and nasally to listen to. I've had to up the speed on the audio to 1.5 times just so I don't start wandering off. You truly should have waited until Gildart Jacvkson was available to read this book. It would have wrapped up this series nicely. Not to mention I'm also now contemplating not buying the last book, Return to Atlantis, because I find this narrator so annoying to listen to.
I find it hard as well because now I have to learn which voice is which all over again.
This narrator is good with voices though!

Britain's most senior black policewoman is poised to head Scotland Yard's elite Counter Terrorism squad.
Merseyside Assistant Chief Constable Patricia Gallan is the front runner to take over from Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, who is retiring after five years.
An authoritative source said yesterday: "There'll be plenty of strong candidates because it's arguably the most important police job in Britain.
"But she has some powerful admirers within the Met and appears to be at the front of the queue."
The #125,000-a-year head of SO15 Counter Terrorism Command acts as national co-ordinator in charge of the fight against al-Qaeda. The successful candidate will be appointed by the Met in consultation with security organisations and after approval by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
Lanarkshire-born Ms Gallan, a qualified barrister, started on the beat in London's East End in 1987.
She moved to the CID and tackled sieges and kidnaps as a trained negotiator before moving to Criminal Intelligence Branch, running informers. Ms Gallan later became staff officer to then Deputy Commissioner Sir Ian Blair, acting as his "eyes and ears" at the Yard.
In January 2005, she was appointed ACC to the National Crime Squad, in charge of undercover policing.
Later that year, she moved to Merseyside where she is now supervising the investigation into the gun murder of Rhys Jones, 11.
Before moving to Merseyside, Ms Gallan was mugged outside her home by two thugs who she chased after they beat her to the floor.
Despite being tipped for the top, she has played down her background.
Speaking after her appointment, she said: "When it comes being the first black woman ACC, it's not something I think about. I just want to do a good job."
She has a Master's degree in Criminology from Cambridge University and was awarded the Queen's Police Medal last year.
Women have held crucial roles in counter-terrorism. Dame Stella Rimmington and Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller both served as Director General of MI5.
Last year the Anti Terrorist Squad (SO13) and Special Branch (SO12) were merged to form the Counter Terrorism Command (SO15), with more than 3,000 officers and support staff

Both of these players were top draft picks who were selected by teams that needed a franchise quarterback to lead them to a Super Bowl. Of the two, Rivers has compiled more wins and has gotten to the playoffs
Because of the discrepancy in roster talent, I've decided to approach the Rivers vs Cutler debate by looking at how they both played in losses in 2007. I hope that this approach will shed some light on how these guys affect their team's ability to win. And as a result of these findings, hopefully a definitive argument can be made as to who the better QB truly is. So lets take a look at the numbers:
In Philip Rivers' six losses (including the playoffs) last season, he averaged a passer rating of 66.4 with 6 touchdowns to 8 interceptions. Lets take it one step further and truncate the average by removing Rivers' highest and lowest ratings. We'll toss out Rivers' week 3 loss against the Packers (116.2) and his playoff loss to the Patriots (46.1).
Philip Rivers:
Passer rating in losses (truncated average) = 59.3 - 3 TDs, 3 INTs
Passer rating in regular season (average) = 82.4 - 21 TDS, 15 INTs, 460 Att
We'll use the same math to find Jay Cutler's numbers by removing his week 3 loss (96.6) and his week 16 loss in San Diego (32.7).
Jay Cutler:
Passer rating in losses (truncated average) = 80.7 - 5 TDs, 5 INTs
Passer rating in regular season (average) = 88.1 - 20 TDS, 14 INTs, 467 Att
The regular season numbers are very similar between the two quarterbacks. They are so close in fact that you can call it a wash. However, when looking at how these guys fared in losses, Jay Cutler generally played better...at least thats what the numbers tell us. So you can make an argument that despite Cutler playing well (80.7 truncated average passer rating in losses), the Denver Broncos still lost ball games.
Philip Rivers on the other hand, seemed to have the greater effect on his team's chances. When Rivers struggled, the team struggled. When the Chargers won despite Rivers playing poorly (30.6 passer rating) it was usually by squeaking one out, like the 23-21 win over the Colts in week 10.
Of course there are also a couple of other important factors to consider; the intangibles like experience, leadership, passion, and knowledge of the game. You could argue that Philip Rivers has more of each, having grown up the child of a football coach and then going on to play (and win) a ton of games in college and the pros. We've seen the kind of passion the Philip Rivers plays the game with, and we've seen his determination to play, even through tremendous pain.
What stands out the most to me about Rivers is that he has the unique ability to carry a team on his back. The Chargers go as Rivers goes, and without him they would be in dire straights. Cutler is a good player and has good numbers, but does he have the intangibles and the ability to make the players around him better? That has yet to be seen...
If anyone wants to speak on this topic, feel free to drop a comment in and give your take!

I was really excited to get this brush because I really needed a fan brush and I love W&W brushes. However, when using it to highlight, I found it hard to apply because the bristles are so thin. It just leaves a weird streak of glitter across my face. It's decent for cleaning up and removing excess powders though.Ashley — 11/22/2016

Ive been looking for a fanbrush for a while and this one is great for the price. Nice for powder highlightsLois — 8/6/2016
The brush is incredibly soft, and for the price, you can't go wrong. However, it's not a very dense brush, and mine doesn't really have enough bristles to really get the job done. It's kind of hard to work with. I know everyone else likes it, but I suggest you look elsewhere.Camryn — 7/28/2016
My brush came with a couple of bristles that stuck out which makes it hard to work with, but it does apply nicely and is still very soft.— 7/25/2016
Applies highlight like a dream~Jennifer — 7/24/2016
The fan brush is soft and very cute when it arrived. It may look effy to you when you receive it because of how shiny it looks but nope! It's amazing! I use it for illuminating ONLY. I spray my setting spray on the brush and put some illuminating product on the brush and apply to my highest point of my cheek bone.

*We need a project completed as soon as possible. we had hired contractors to do the job, they started the job but haven't returned for 3 weeks now and are not responding to our inquiries. there is a portion of the house that needs insulation and siding and we need the basement completed, it was waterproofed from the inside, that job is about 75% complete.
Time is of the essence as we have portions of the house that have no insulation or siding at this point.
There is a foot by foot hole in our basement where the water line comes up a few feet away from our wall, this hole is nearly always filled with water but never overflows. We have determined that the water is not from the line itself and assume is it a water table that probably needs a sump pump.
We did have a wall leak that has been fixed. The floor has heaved in this corner and begun crumbling, we are unsure that this is as a result of the leak or constant water standing, or both.
Looking for someone who has experience in these types of repairs. We would like to know if we need weeping tile or a sump pump to fix out water problem.
We would like a few quotes and opinions. We have had a few plumbers in, but without any solutions. We do have mold issues and would like to be able to use our basement for more than a place to throw things!
We are looking at a quote that will have us doing lots of the work, ie. breaking up concrete, wince we would like to at this time continue to remove the clay sewer line in the basement floor to the sewer vent line.
the basement is unfinished and is 5'5 feet high with ductwork making it lower in a few places. The area affected is right at the bottom of the stairwell and along the front wall.
The home is a 40's built wood frame 2 1/2 storey home very close to our neighbors.
Please help us!
Hi, I have water coming in from top of foundation. Had a new patio put in cause was told it was built to high on foundation and coming in the garage and running down into the crawlspace under the outside door. Water is still coming in what looks like 2 different places and in one spot at edge of door, the corner where the door meets garage, corner of garage is wet on wall at floor. It seems to me water is coming over the membrane there and the other spot water is coming under the membrane in different place under the door in basement. I am wondering if it is the sill plate, where brick meets the concrete blocks and this maybe has been a problem from day one. I have been told it could be the roof, could be the weepholes, could be the door step. Well I could fix all those things and still have a problem. Who could I hire to find out the problem for sure. Right now have a tarp covering the outside step. Maybe helping to keep some water out. Have owned the house for six years. I will wait for the right person to fix it.
Thank you

UPDATE 1-Canada New Democrats to limit corporate tax hike
(Adds implications and background)
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Canada's left-leaning New Democratic Party will raise the corporate tax rate from the current 15 percent to something less than 17.5 percent in its first term in office if it wins the Oct. 19 federal election, an NDP official said on Wednesday.
This is less than the party's 2011 pledge to boost the corporate tax rate to 19.5 percent. The NDP's fiscal framework was scheduled for release on Wednesday afternoon ahead of a leaders' debate on Thursday on economic policy.
The party also will not eliminate the current 50 percent tax exemption for capital gains in the first mandate, the official added, despite an earlier pledge by the party to do so. The exemption means that only half of capital gains are subject to tax.
"We will not be getting rid of the capital gains exemption," said the official, who requested anonymity because the plans were not yet public.
The party is seeking to replace Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives, who have charged that the NDP's promises would require billions of dollars of tax hikes or deficits. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has pledged to keep the budget in balance from the start of his mandate.
It was not immediately clear how much the corporate tax hike would raise. In 2011, the NDP had budgeted for C$9.9 billion ($7.5 billion) in increased revenue by 2014-15 from its plan to restore the corporate tax rate to 19.5 percent.
The Conservatives, who defeated the NDP and other parties in the 2011 election, had brought the corporate rate down and encouraged the provinces to do the same, with the goal of making Canada more competitive in drawing companies and helping them to compete internationally. Continued...

Theology and Philosophy
Mick O'Donnell
Bachelor of Arts (Theological Studies) (1997)
Married Deacon, Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese, ACT
"It's never too late to start a new course. I began my theological studies at age 48 and I've never looked back. A highlight of my course at ACU was the vigorous theological debates which encouraged me to continue to read and further understand the evolving answers about the place of God in the universe. The lecturers at ACU encouraged me to think broadly about Church doctrine. I enjoyed the Catholic experience and the worship facilities on campus were amazing."
Nicholas Tuohy
Master of Philosophy, Graduate Diploma (Theology) 2012
"Preaching and teaching, creative arts, worship and evangelism are my primary areas of interest and ACU has supported me in all these areas. I also really love good food which would explain my gradual shift from working as a professional chef to Senior Minister at Kew Baptist Church. I have completed a Master of Philosophy at ACU looking at the intersection between hospitality and spirituality."

Does the urban environment independently increase the risk for both negative and positive features of psychosis?

Background: Psychotic disorders are more common in urban environments. It is not known whether the increase in risk applies to both the positive and negative dimensions of psychosis. Methods: In a random general population sample of 7076, measures of positive and negative symptoms of psychosis were constructed using Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) data. Three CIDI observed items of flat affect, retarded speech and retarded movement served as indicators of a negative symptom variable. Results: Both negative and positive symptoms of psychosis were, independent of each other, associated with a five-level measure of population density of place of residence (adjusted OR negative symptoms: 1.42, 95 % CI: 1.18, 1.71; adjusted OR positive symptoms: 1.19, 95 % CI: 1.13, 1.24). These associations remained after exclusion of vulnerable individuals with any lifetime psychiatric disorder (n = 2910), any lifetime psychiatric treatment (n = 1352) and history of psychosis in the parents (n = 142). Conclusions: An environmental risk factor associated with urbanicity may act in early life to non-specifically influence risk for both negative and positive experience of psychosis, regardless of whether a formal psychiatric disorder is diagnosable.

Once a thriving resort town, Gibara has recently renovated several of its most stunning hotels, which lend the small town a surreal feel of opulence amidst much more faded streetscapes. But that's part of its wonder.

Thor: The Dark World Trivia
5,475pages onAdd New Page

Trivia for Thor: The Dark World.
- This is the first film with Marvel's new intro.
- Josh Dallas was supposed to return as Fandral but commitment with his TV show Once Upon a Time prevented him from returning. He was replaced with Zachary Levi who was the original choice for the role.
- Mads Mikkelsen was considered for the role of Malekith, but he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with Hannibal (a role portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in three films, and who plays Odin in this film). Christopher Eccleston was cast instead.
- Despite The Avengers and Iron Man 3 to be the last films with a Paramount logo based on the original five-movie deal between Marvel and Paramount that was made following Iron Man before Disney bought the distribution rights to those two films from Paramount after the Marvel acquisition by Disney. The Marvel Studios logo appears instead of any Disney logo.
- Chris Hemworth has stated that, under Alan Taylor's direction, the second installment is to have a more Viking-influenced with more resemblance to Norse mythology when compared to the more science-fiction-themed first installment.
- Though Tom Hiddleston reprises his role of Loki, the actor has stated that he is not expected to be a central villain and is rather seen taking responsibility for his crimes in The Avengers.
- In late 2011, Patty Jenkins was officially announced as director for this film. In December 2011, she backed out of the project due to "creative differences".
- In Thor, the casket of Ancient Winters was held by the Frost Giants of Jotunheim; in the comics it was held by the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, in particular their leader Malekith the Accursed. In the film Loki holds the Casket and asks Odin if he is accursed, in homage to Malekith. Malekith himself appears in this film.
- At the end of September, Jaimie Alexander was injured on the London film set: "It was raining, it was dark outside, it was like 5 in the morning - and I went down a metal staircase and slipped and slipped a disc in my thoracic spine and chipped 11 of my vertebrae. I knocked my left shoulder out of place and tore my rhomboid on my right side... It took me out of filming for a month!"
- Natalie Portman was reportedly so upset that talks between Marvel and Patty Jenkins broke down that she refused to return for the sequel but she was forced to return due to her contract.
- Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje described Kurse as "an amalgamation of a bull and a lava-like creature." For his role as Kurse, he underwent a daily three hours of make-up and 40-pound prosthetics: "I'm sure there will be a certain amount of CGI, but a good 80% was me in that suit."
- The film was shot in England under the title "Thursday Mourning". Thursday is considered by historians to be named after Thor ("Thursday" - Thor's Day).
- In the comics, Malekith is scarred on the right side of his face; in this film it's on the left side.
- As a nod to the comics, Malekith's armor has a star emblem in the center.
- Carter Burwell was to write the score but left the film over creative differences and was replaced by "Iron Man 3" composer Brian Tyler.
- Christopher Eccleston and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje worked together in the 2009 film, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.
- Tom Hiddleston describes Loki as a "firework" in this film: "Well, where next? What's he going to do? What level of remorse does he have? If he does have any remorse or regret, why? Who does he feel guilty in front of, and who does he laugh in the face of? What's his motivation? If he stands to win, what does he stand to win? As a character you've got all these new motivations, but as an actor I am absolved from playing hero or villain - I'm just the live wire. And that was more fun than I can possibly tell you."
- Alan Taylor was so impressed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's performance as Kurse, he made Adewale do all his stunts because the stuntmen did not move the same way as he did.
- The stone creature Thor fights is a Kronan, an alien being that appeared in Thor's first comic, "Journey Into Mystery" #83.
- An aerial camera crew flew to Iceland to film the Dettifoss waterfall in Iceland (Europe's most powerful waterfall) from every angle, so it was used as a base for the waterfalls at Asgard.
- There were about 30 hammers made for Thor of various weights for different uses. The main hammer was made from aluminum but it is replicated in different materials and weights, including a 'soft' version for stunts. Of the 30, five versions were used most often, including the 'lit hammer,' that emits light when lightning strikes.
- A new language was created specifically for the Dark Elves. Christopher Eccleston (Malekith) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Kurse) had to memorize some of their dialogue in this alien script.
- The filmmakers chose Iceland as the setting for the dark world of Svartalfheim, for its black volcanic landscapes. In real life, during the viking age when Iceland was discovered they considered it to be the home of Surtr, a mythological character also turned into a comic book villian.
- The stunt men and extras playing the Dark Elves had to go through a training period where they practiced standing tall and proud since the dark elves are envisioned to be a noble people. Prosthetics designer David White helped out too by designing the helmet so that the eye line was slightly pulled down, forcing the actors to tilt their heads slightly up and back, which gave them a very proud, strong feel.
- Filming at the famous Stonehenge historical site proved to be a challenge. After finally getting permission from English Heritage, the filmmakers found out that there were lots of rules and regulations associated with filming there. They could only be in amongst the stones outside of the normal visiting hours. So shooting had to take place early in the morning before opening, which only gave the film crew about three hours before they had to pull back for wider shots once the stones were opened to the public. Being a heritage site, no one was allowed to touch the stones or walk on any stones, so a lot of logistics had to be applied to the filming there.
- Kenneth Branagh turned down directing this film as he felt that the locked release date didn't give him enough pre-production time that he decided to work on Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit instead.
- The VFXperts were influenced by the transformation sequences in "The Avengers" (the Hulk) and "An American Werewolf in London" (David Kessler) in changing Algrim into Kurse.
- According to VFX supervisor Jake Morrison, the Harrows, the spaceships used by the Dark Elves, are powered by black holes: "A black hole pulls in all directions. You stick a box around it - but if you poke a hole in one side of the box it would pull in that direction. So effectively if you strap a craft around that you've got a propulsion drive which is kind of an impulsion drive."
- It took six hours of make-up and 45 minutes in wardrobe to complete Malekith's look.
- A fair amount of improvisation was allowed on set; Kat Dennings's calling Stellan Skarsgård "banana balls" was made up on the spot.
- In the film the substance the Dark Elves are after is called Aether. Aether is the mythological personification of the sky in Greek mythology and later in alchemy and medieval science the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. A reason of the use of the word "aether" can be because of it's connection to dark energy which the Dark Elves are connected to in this film.
- The Aether is identified by the Collector to be an Infinity Gem. Its red color identifies it as the Gem of Power.
- CAMEO(Chris Evans): as Steve Rogers / Captain America. Loki masquerading as Captain America while having a conversation with Thor.
- When Eric Selvig is in the mental ward explaining the convergence theory, on the blackboard behind him is the familiar Yggdrasil tree drawing of the 9 realms. If you look closely, one item circled says "616 Universe" 616 is the assigned number to the Marvel Mainstream Universe.
- Joss Whedon was brought in to do uncredited rewrites for a few scenes, including the extremely brief encounter with the stone creature (which was originally a much longer scene) and Loki briefly masquerading as Captain America in a hallway conversation with Thor.
- Tom Hiddleston wore a Captain America suit and did an impression of Chris Evans. Evans later showed up on set and shot his cameo, imitating Hiddleston's impression.
- Jake Morrison described the final battle as Time Toffee: "As you punch through from one realm to another it's almost like a slightly gelatinous membrane you have to pass through. It bends a little bit then rips and spits the person out."
- According to Natalie Portman in an article that appears in the New York Daily News. During the post credit scene where Thor and Jane Foster finally kiss. The woman in the scene is not actress Natalie Portman as she was unavailable to film the scene, but Chris Hemsworth's actual wife Elsa Pataky.
- Benicio del Toro is the third cast member from the Star Wars franchise to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Natalie Portman portrayed Jane Foster in Thor and this film, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

high pockets....that comment was copied from the sticky web FAQ section in an effort to explain to Acepilot why they don't come out of your waistband when you extract the handgun.

high pockets....that comment was copied from the sticky web FAQ section in an effort to explain to Acepilot why they don't come out of your waistband when you extract the handgun.
Works for me!
I have never tried one of this type of holster. I like my hybrid holster for now.

I have my doubts.

Don Collier, Fury
1MoreGoodGuy....you need to get your smeller looked at...just offering an opinion like everyone else here does....works for me..if not for you then no problem...
Doesn't this type of holster collapse when the weapon is drawn making re-hosteling difficult?
I prefer a holster that stays open so that I can re-holster one handed without looking.
Mhk....that is a true statement...it does close after extraction. Although you can reholster without removing it they don't recommend that action. They say it's best to remove the holster to reholster it.
Mike1956....As originally stated...."for me"..it works the best I have found to date due to comfort and combat cut. I have no problem pulling the holster out to re-holster and re-inserting in waste band..This ain't Tombstone and I don't twirl the weapon 4 times to drop back into a holster. I do use a Mitch Rosen leather OWB holster when I carry in that mode and have no problem with it. Just have not found a clipon IWB holster that works for me.
Good to know it works for you. I had my very brief experience with collapsing IWB holsters in my early days of carrying concealed, and as a result I prefer something more substantial.

I have Sticky holsters and am very pleased. They are just as advertised. There are some things I wear that they don't work with (sweatpants), but overall, when wearing jeans the holster stays secure, draw is smooth, concealment is comfortable and effective. The one issue I find is that when out and about, a bathroom break can be a bit cumbersome if not pocket carrying.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
stancehold...Yep I find even with my OWB belt holster the sit down break can be somewhat cumbersome if not careful..thanks for the comment.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Hiking Partners / Group Trip Announcements › Hiking Partner for Sierras 2014 and day hike training partner
Hey BPL,
I'm looking for someone to backpack with in the Sierra, I go to Sierra 2 or 3 time a summer season. I am planning on at least two trips this year. I would like to do some off trail backpacking and interested in having a backpacking partner. My backpacking skill level would be novice to intermediate, I usually backpack solo.
I'm open to difference location, but I have had my eye on Kaweah Basin and Nine lake region in Sequoia. I would like to spend at least one full day off trail durning the trip. I don't like super long days, more into exploring then racking up miles. The trip length I had in mind were between 2-7 days.
(8-12 Miles Per Day ish and 4000ft elevation gain or less)
I try to stay in shape with long day hikes, mostly in the LA area. Like MT baldy, I would be interested in have a day hike partner to train with to get ready for the summer season.
Let me know if you interested, I figure we could see if we would be compatible with a couple day hikes. I would be interested to hear about any trip ideas you have, or share some of my plans for upcoming trips.
@jerry2636Locale: Huntington Beach, Ca.
Hi Kevin,
I am going to the Kaweah Basin this year.
We can do some day hikes and see how it works.
PM me.
@burtonatorLocale: norcal
Pick some dates and post a trip that you'd like to do… if you post 30-60 days ahead of your trip you can probably get 2-3 people to join you.
I've found it's somewhat harder to organize things 6 months in the future but longer trips like the JMT or PCT require much more coordination.
But if you're looking at 2-7 days lots of us have flexible schedules to just take off.
I know I do.
Probably out of the running to join you in the Summer, but I'm in the LA area if you'd be interested in some day hikes!

The drive homeMature
The touch of Cerice's skin on mine made me feel warm. I leaned in to her and watched as the oranges, pinks and reds of the sky mixed and exploded. I felt Cerice's heart beating, and I wrapped my arms round her tighter.
"Have you ever... have you ever looked at a girl before and thought you might be a lesbian?" She stilled.
"I-I don't know. Yeah I guess. I just never really wanted it to happen. Or never thought it could happen." I looked at her and saw that she was sad, but she also seemed to glow with happiness. It was like she was free. I kissed her cheek and stared out at the sunset again.
"For what it's worth, I'm glad you came to Australia Cerice."
"I'm glad I came too."
"Come on, we'd better go back to the car before it gets too dark."
We went hand in hand to the car and drove off. I felt a tingle in my heart, every time I looked at her. If this was what it felt like to be in love, I was in way deep. But it felt right. I grinned.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Cerice was looking at me.
"I was just thinking... how perfect you are." She blushed.
"I'm... I'm not perfect."
"No one is. But you're the closest I've met." She blushed again.
"Well, you're the most perfect person I've ever met too."
We were silent after that until we reached the university.
"I'll miss you." I whispered.
"I can see you tomorrow." I smiled and kissed her, savouring her lips.
"No you can't. That's the problem with having a teacher as a girlfriend. I'm going to have to do marking at some point." She looked disappointed. "But you'll see me on Monday."
"I guess."
"By the way, I'm guessing you want us to act like before in class. Unless you don't mind the class knowing..."
"...not yet. Maybe someday."
"I can wait." I grinned and kissed her again. "If you don't get out now I'm going to have to kidnap you and keep you in my house."
"That doesn't sound too bad." She grinned at me and I laughed. We kissed again, and I almost suggested she came back to mine. But I didn't want to rush this, and that would be too quick I thought.
"Go on, don't you have some work to do or something?"
"Yeah, but it can wait. I have tomorrow."
"Cerice seriously. Please go before I go crazy. You're driving me crazy." I was itching to kiss her again, to touch her, to hold her, but I knew I was getting a bit flushed. It was too soon, she'd regret it if I offered her my house, or that we went up to her room. Too soon. Please Cerice, I'm trying not to rush this, but you're turning me on.
She smiled at me and leaned in for a kiss.

text: Computational Aspects of Polynomial Identities: Volume l, Kemer's Theorems, 2nd Edition (Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics) by Alexei Kanel-Belov, Yakov Karasik, Louis Halle Rowen 2015 | ISBN: 1498720080 | English | 444 pages | PDF | 3 MB presents the underlying ideas in recent polynomial identity (PI)-theory and demonstrates the validity of the proofs of PI-theorems. This edition gives all the details involved in Kemer's proof of Specht's conjecture for affine PI-algebras in characteristic 0. The book first discusses the theory needed for Kemer's proof, including the featured role of Grassmann algebra and the translation to superalgebras. The authors develop Kemer polynomials for arbitrary varieties as tools for proving diverse theorems. They also lay the groundwork for analogous theorems that have recently been proved for Lie algebras and alternative algebras. They then describe counterexamples to Specht's conjecture in characteristic p as well as the underlying theory. The book also covers Noetherian PI-algebras, Poincaré-Hilbert series, Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, the combinatoric theory of affine PI-algebras, and homogeneous identities in terms of the representation theory of the general linear group GL. Through the theory of Kemer polynomials, this edition shows that the techniques of finite dimensional algebras are available for all affine PI-algebras. It also emphasizes the Grassmann algebra as a recurring theme, including in Rosset's proof of the Amitsur-Levitzki theorem, a simple example of a finitely based T-ideal, the link between algebras and superalgebras, and a test algebra for counterexamples in characteristic p.

I don't want any part of them. They result in over-engineering, wasted documentation, never-ending discussion as everyone takes the opportunity to put their chef hat on, employees that get stuck going down a path while the world changes around them, and promises to customers you won't be able to keep.
Planning is not bad and having a clear vision a necessity, but don't get caught up in the details of your roadmaps. Instead of a huge roadmap have a customer scenario end-state that you can use to comunicate what needs to be enabled, made simpler, or exposes an opportunity.
Another way to think about it is that your goal should not be to pretend you are a writer on Alias that keeps trying to build up to a dramatic "end game" that takes five years and will likely disappoint. Make sure everyone knows about your end game and try to keep it achievable in 2-3 years or less.
The more you accomplish down a path quickly the more people will learn about and have your "end game" come into focus for them with a bunch of "aha" moments as the see the pieces fall into place. If you can't communicate your desired end state and a roadmap for getting there in less then one slide… I don't want to be a part of it. There's just so much low hanging fruit out there that your time will be better spent picking them off to get short term wins that start to make your desired end state more visible to folks.
What you need is smart people to identify the low hanging fruit, prioritize the fruit in order of how much closer each piece gets you to your desired end sate, and start picking them off one at a time.
Another problem with the "5 year" thinking that's rampant here at Microsoft is when people say "Yeah, that would be cool, but what we should be thinking about is…" and the … is usually filled in with the most overengineered solution you can think of that's designed to handle every edge case and adjacent problem you could imagine.
We're hired and paid to constantly be thinking in line with big pictures that we frequently miss the little things that, when done en-mass, would have a much bigger effect on customer satisfaction than the overengineered solution would.. because you'd be 5 years late.
Again, I don't have a problem with big solutions to big issues, but at Microsoft we often grab that big hammer too frequently when what you had was a pushpin of a scenario.
I guess, in the end, what I'd suggest is to question your choice of weapons used to solve problems. Only break out hammers when necessary, don't believe that every problem needs a 5 year plan, and start accomplishing the little things that will have a huge customer impact… just make sure that you do have an "end game" in mind that your building towards. And remember that an "end game" shouldn't take you 5 years.

In our 2 hour train trip back to the boat (which had moved on to Passau during our train ride) we were entertained by two young ladies singing several extracts from operas and later traditional Austrian folk songs, one of which selected Bill to help in the presentation of the ...

Cool and dry this morning as we arrived in Linz for a very early rise to catch the Majestic Imperator train to Salzburg. Linz is the home of VAI Steel. The train is an exact replica of the Austrian Royals train from the 19th Century. The trip from Linz to Salzburg took 2 hours, but we were treated like royalty.

Add API in Table.java to apply styles specified in a table template. /** * Apply the formatting specified in the template to corresponding table cells. * * A table can only be formatted as one type of styles: even-odd-rows or * even-odd-columns. The rule is to check the style of odd rows and even * rows in the template, only if they have one different properties, table: * style-name or table:paragraph-style-name, the table template will be * treated as a even-odd-columns styled table. * * If one style in the template is null, the style of corresponding cells * will be removed.

 doesn't have higher-level support yet, API has to define and extract such template from existing table and serialize them into separated elements at current stage. > Proposed Solution: > 1. User need to define their own table, as a table template, in a document by ODF editor. > 2. Add two Simple APIs: > * Need new API to import table style from appointed table. > * Need new API to apply table style definition to table. > Since it's difficult to recognize all kinds of style combination, we could use the definition of

We can get each type of style from an appointed cell. > 1. first column ( A2) > 2. last column (E2) > 3. first row (B2) > 4. last row (B5) > 5. even rows (B3), odd rows (B2) > 6. even columns: (C2), odd rows (B2) > For each type of style, API can copy two definitions
 and
, which displayed as number format, font, alignment, borders and background. > In ODF specs, there's some restriction on table template definition. If more than one style reference is applied to a cell, it has to follow the order. It means if a table has even/odd row style, it cannot apply even/odd column style at the same time. Besides that, the four corner cell can only inherit the style from the column or the row they exists, and cannot been appointed to other values. Actually, user may need more complicated template than that, like some complicated template pre-defined in OO. Maybe we could consider more extensibility when defining table template in API according to real requirements. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Sleep paralysis, or "old hag" as it is sometimes called, is a relatively common experience, but it can still be extremely frightening if you don't know what it is. What are some of the common symptoms of sleep paralysis? Learn about its features and how an inability to move, hallucinations, and fear occur when the transition between dream-filled REM sleep and wakefulness is fragmented.

Defining the Condition of Sleep Paralysis

First, it is important to understand what sleep paralysis represents. In simple terms, sleep paralysis is the presence or persistence of features of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep during the transition into or out of deep sleep. It may occur when you are first falling asleep (hypnagogic) or when you are waking up (hypnopompic). Most people experience just sleep paralysis, but it can also occur with other symptoms as part of narcolepsy.

During REM, your mind is active and you might vividly imagine sights, sounds and other feelings as part of a dream. You might even be afraid, as you would in a nightmare. At the same time, your body is paralyzed so that you do not act on your dreams (this is called muscle atonia). When these features occur during wakefulness, you will have an experience of sleep paralysis.

Common Features and Symptoms of Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis is often characterized by a transient inability to move or speak during sleep transitions. In general, the ability to move your eyes is preserved. Some people try to scream or call out for help, but this may manifest only as a soft vocalization. For example, you might only be able to whisper, squeal, grunt, groan or whimper.

Many people have a sense of suffocating or breathlessness during sleep paralysis, which likely relates to the limited muscles that are active to help you breathe. During REM sleep, the diaphragm acts as a bellows to help you inflate your lungs and breathe, but few of the other accessory muscles of breathing are active. Some people experience this as a chest pressure or as if someone is standing or sitting on their chest.

The level of awareness during sleep paralysis varies. Some people insist they are completely awake and aware of their surroundings, while others describe only a partial awareness. Infrequently, people may have an out-of-body experience, the belief that they are outside of their bodies looking at themselves.

The Role of Hallucinations: Seeing, Hearing, and Feeling Things

Vivid hallucinations may be part of this experience. In other words, you perceive an experience of something that is not there. In a broad sense, the hallucinations associated with sleep paralysis can be divided into visual, auditory, olfactory and tactile experiences.

The visual experience can be quite profound. Many people report seeing the presence of a human figure, often described as being a dark figure, shadow or ghost. This figure may be standing at the bedside, just at the periphery of your vision. Some people report seeing multiple people in the room. Others report that they see flashes, bright colors or lights. Sometimes the visual hallucination can be quite elaborate. For example, some have reported seeing a disembodied hand, a gargoyle, bugs or even a cat. In other cases, the visions are vague, described as being blurry or shimmering or simply having a sense that things are floating.

Similarly, the experience of auditory hallucinations in sleep paralysis can range from the routine to the bizarre. Many people hear various noises. It is most common for people to hear voices. The language used might seem foreign. There may the perception of whispering, screaming and laughing. Nearly as often, a loud buzzing or static noise is reported, much like the sound of a radio that is on but not tuned to a station. Some people hear breathing, footsteps, knocking or a ringing sound. Even unusual sounds like a horse carriage or growling may be perceived. Sometimes the sounds heard during sleep paralysis are nonspecific, difficult to characterize or not well remembered.

One of the most often reported phenomena of sleep paralysis is a tactile hallucination, the experience of being touched when you are not. Many people describe feeling a pressure or contact, often sensed as if something or someone is holding them down. Some people with sleep paralysis describe tingling, numbness or a vibrating sensation. Others describe a sense of floating, flying or falling. A few people report feeling chilled or freezing. Less frequently, there may even be a sense that you are being physically moved or dragged from your bed. Some people report sexual contact, including physical sensations involving the genitalia or even rape. Other physical experiences have been reported as well, including a sense of being bitten, bugs crawling on the skin, breathing in the ear or an uncontrolled feeling of smiling.

The least common hallucination in sleep paralysis is of an olfactory nature, relating to your sense of smell. As with the other types of hallucinations, you could imagine a range of possible imagined smells that you might experience.

The Emotional and Fear Component of Sleep Paralysis

Aside from the experiences described above, one of the most important and lasting elements of sleep paralysis is the emotional component. For many, the experience of a sleep paralysis is a waking nightmare. The perceived dark figure in the room seems to be an evil presence, intent on real harm. The stranger standing over you or sitting on top of you is up to no good.

The vast majority of people who experience sleep paralysis describe it as a fearful experience (scary, terrifying, horrifying, frightening, etc.). This is often associated with the hallucination of a stranger's presence. Some people have a sense of impending doom, meaning they have a feeling that real harm or death is about to occur to them. Many describe how real everything seems when it is occurring. It is not uncommon for people to use the words "weird" and "strange" to describe their experiences. There are a variety of other descriptors used by people to summarize their sleep paralysis, including: helpless, shocking, worried, angry and disgusting. Rarely, people may actually be comforted by the experience.

By having a better understanding of the common symptoms of sleep paralysis, you may be able to take comfort in knowing what is happening to you. For some people, this is enough to tolerate these infrequent occurrences. For others, this knowledge may help to eliminate triggers of sleep paralysis. For those who find these episodes particularly distressing, effective treatment options are available.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - October 3, 1980, New Braunfels, Texas Friday • Taylor Communications Inc 25 cents October 3,1980 Mc of lim Cerater Como tv Bo* omp* callas, fi3exaa 75235 Hapald-Zeituno Vol. 89 - No. 73 18 Pages — 2 Sections (USPS 377-880) New Braunfels, TexasIraq, Iran both claim control of port city BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Iraq and Iran both claimed they were in control of Iran's major port of Khorramshahr today as the war between the Persian Gulf oil giants ground into its 12th day. Iraq said its forces took over the port and were digging in after achieving their main objectives along an invasion front stretching 300 miles to the north. "There is no trace of any Iranian soldier left in Khorramshahr," Baghdad radio said. "The town is under Iraq's firm control." It labeled as "hallucination" Iran's claims it was crushing Iraqi troops in Khorramshahr and said: "What few so-called revolutionary guards are left in hiding are being flushed out and mopped up in Khorramshahr. That's all that's happening now.1' Iran's official Pars news agency said the Iraqi troops withdrew from Khorramshahr as late as midnight Thursday after abandoning tanks and other equipment, that water and electricity were cut off and that "the customs building and some other parts of the city set on fire by the Iraqis were burning out of control." Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr said Iranian paratroopers were dropped into Khorramshahr on Thursday, that Iranian warplanes launched attacks to support them and that "enemy-crushing" operations were under way in the port, near the refinery city of Abadan at the head of the Persian Gulf. The Baghdad command dismissed those claims and said "unless the scale of fighting warranted, there will be only one military communique daily since Iraqi forces have achieved their main objectives and will concentrate on consolidation of their achievements." So far there has been no independent confirmation of any of the claims or any reliable information on the size and disposition of the opposing forces. The Iraqi command said Thursday its naval units "inflicted serious damage" on Iranian military positions at Abadan, several miles from Khorramshahr, and that Iraqi MiGs attacked the Dezful area, 150 miles north of Abadan. However, it also said Iranian jets hit five Iraqi provinces, that five Iraqi civilians were wounded in air strikes on the southern Iraqi city of Amara and that two Iranian jets were shot down over Amara and Basra. The radio station in Ahwaz, capital of Khuzestan province 70 miles north of Abadan, claimed Thursday that "the enemy has been defeated and is making dastardly efforts in only a few places." But the broadcast conceded "a number of feudalists are giving shelter to atheist forces," meaning some ethnic Arabs in Khuzestan were aiding Iraq's Arab soldiers. Another broadcast warned Iranian Arab tribesmen they would be "condemned to death" if they helped Iraqi soldiers. Tehran radio urged Iraq's Kurds to revolt against the Baghdad regime. The appeal was a counter to Iraq's call on "brother" Arabs in Khuzestan to rise up against the Tehran government. The appeal was novel since the Khomeini regime has been battling the Kurdish independence movement within its own borders for a month. Although Iraq and Iran are Moslem nations, the Iraqis are Arabs and the Iranians are predominantly non-Arab Persians. However, Arabs form the main ethnic group in Khuzestan and they have been battling for more autonomy from the central government in Tehran ever since Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's revolution ousted the shah 20 months ago. Iraq has seized on this restiveness and repeatedly called on its "Arab brothers" in the province to aid invading Iraqi forces. But the call apparently hasn't been too successful, and Tehran Radio on Thursday repeated Khomeini's rejection of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's call for a four-day cease-fire beginning Sunday. "The war continues," the broadcast said. "Its objectives have been defined by Imam Khomeini. Does Saddam mean to say that he can declare war and then end it whenever he thinks fit?" The Iranian news agency also reported that Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai met with Cuban Foreign Minister Isidoro Malmierca to discuss an attempt by President Fidel Castro to mediate the conflict. The agency reported that Rajai expressed surprise at Castro "advising us, in the face of the enemy's tanks and guns, to sit with the aggressor Saddam." Labor figures show economy improves rn WASHINGTON (AP)- The nation's unemployment rate declined for the second straight month and wholesale prices fell for the first time in 4^ years, the government said today in two reports that reflected an overall improvement in the nation's economy. The Labor Department said the unemployment rate declined to 7.5 percent in September, down from 7.6 percent in August and the lowest since April, when it was 7 percent. It reported separately that the wholesale prices were down 0.2 percent in September, a sharp turnaround from a 1.5 percent increase in August and the first decline since wholesale prices fell 0.3 percent in February 1976. The Producer Price Index, which measures prices at the wholesale level, rose in July and August by a whopping 1.5 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, due in large part to a midwestern drought and heat wave that destroyed crops and thinned livestock herds. The two reports could help President Carter's re-election hopes as they reflect an improving economy. They also are the last employment and wholesale price statistics before the Nov. 4 election. Republican candidate Ronald Reagan and independent contender John B. Anderson have both criticized President Carter's handling of the economy, while the president has defended his actions as the best way to bring the nation out of the recession it has been mired in. In August, the unemployment rate was 7.6 percent of the labor force. It has hovered between 7.6 percent and 7.8 percent since May — the highest levels since President Carter took office. The I^abor Department said an additional 200,000 workers found jobs in September, mostly in the construction industry and on the nation's farms. Total employment was 97.2 million. Unemployment totaled 7.8 million workers. Deborah Klein, a l^abor Department analyst, said the drop in unemployment for the second consecutive month "might be indicating a turn" in the economy. Although unemployment had declined in August from 7.8 percent to 7.6 percent, she said a one-month drop was insufficient to establish a trend in the minds of economists but a two-month decline is more convincing. The biggest job gains were among women, whose jobless rate dropped to 6.1 percent from 6.5 percent in August, and teen-agers, whose jobless rate dropped from 17.5 percent from 19.1 percent in August. The unemployment rate for adult men increased slightly to 6.7 percent, up from 6.6 percent in August, while unemployment among blacks and Hispanics also rose, going to 14.2 percent and 11.3 percent, respectively. However, even as statistics show the economy improving, the president on Thursday criticized the Federal Reserve Board for pushing up interest rates, an action that many economists fear could choke off the recovery from the recession. The prime lending rate for some banks was increased Thursday to 14 percent, which raises borrowing costs to business and consumers and could discourage business activity. The board, which is independent of the executive branch, raised the discount rate — the interest on Federal Reserve loans to member banks — from IO to ll percent in a move to force up interest rates and fight inflation by cutting the supply of money and credit. Carter's criticism came only hours after New York's Citibank, one of the nation's largest, raised its prime lending rate one-half point, to 14 percent. The prime rate, which is what blue-chip corporate customers must pay to borrow, had risen only a day earlier to 13.5 percent. Another interest indicator — mortgage rates — is on the way up, too, the Federal Home Ixian Bank Board said. A board report said conventional 25-year mortgages were closed at an average rate of 12.39 percent in the first week of September, up from 12.27 a month earlier.

Expelled congressman to fight to regain seat Graphic lines divide the Comal River into planes of space Staff photo by John Santa/ WASHINGTON (AP) - Ousted Rep. Michael J. Myers, the first congressman ever expelled from the House for corruption, is fighting his expulsion in court and asking his constituents to send him back to Congress anyway. The House voted 376-30 Thursday to remove Myers, who was convicted Aug. 30 of taking a $50,000 bribe a year ago from undercover FBI agents posing as representatives of an Arab sheik seeking legislation favors. It was the first time a congressman had been expelled since three border-state members were removed in 1861 for supporting the Confederacy in the Civil War. Myers, 37, a gruff former longshoreman, admitted taking the money but said he was being kicked out of Congress for behavior that may be acceptable to his blue-collar constituents in South Philadelphia. "There may be a question of ethics, but ifs not illegal," he said. "In this neighborhood, it may not be even unethical." Myers won't have tile support of the Philadelphia Democratic organization as he tries to convince the voters of that. "I have continuously told him it was an embarrassment to the district, to the city and to the party for him to seek re-election," said city Democratic chairman David Glancy. "We are not going to support him, that's for sure." Reaction from the voters was mixed. "He was framed, set up," said Pat Russo. "But I don't think he'll get reelected because he was caught." Another constituent, Joe Bucci, said "He let the people down.. .That's not t say that I wouldn't have done the sam thing if I had been there. But when th* economy's in the shape it's in, and you've got guys who are hurting seein him getting this money, they're not going to like it." In the meantime, the Pennsylvania Democrat filed suit Thursday in U.S. District Court asking that he be reinstated for the rest of his term, which ends Jan. 5. The suit charged that the expulsion violated Myers' constitutional bights and denied his constituents representation in Congress. ;

Mike & Mary were proud to sponsor two of the songs for the Chick Webb Project, a project that transcribed c. 31 songs from the Chick Webb library for live performances, the first which was at Lindy Focus on Thursday night, Dec. 29th, 2016! For the Chick Webb dance, we got to sit in on a rehearsal that afternoon, which was both entertaining and enlightening. Click here for more info.
Mike & Mary – Report on Lindy Focus (LF).
What is Lindy Focus (LF)? As many of you know, LF is an annual event that takes place in Asheville, NC the week between Christmas and New Years. In addition to workshop classes, competitions and other activities, a definite highlight of the event for 2016 was five nights of swing-era big band music that featured the music of Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Chick Webb and Benny Goodman. Due to family obligations, this past year's event (Dec. 27-31, 2016) was the first chance we've had to attend LF – and we picked a good year!
LF 2016. We attended for two days/nights, Dec. 29th & 30th. The Dec. 29th and Dec. 30th nightly dances featured the music of Chick Webb and Benny Goodman, respectively. The music for both dances was truly exceptional. The musicians at Lindy Focus did a great job playing the songs in the right style, and at the correct tempo (and maintaining the correct tempo throughout the entire song). What a treat it was to dance, and listen, to the great swing music of the big band swing-era (instead of the "mayonnaise & white bread" stuff you get from most "big bands" that play these days).
And for those that couldn't attend the event, here is a link to a You Tube page for the live stream for the Dec. 29th Chick Webb night dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV2M7i8pGl4.
In closing, if you get a chance to attend the LF event in the future, do so – especially if LF continues to feature swing-era big band music for the nightly dances!

Over the weekend, the Hazard Factory — an industrial arts studio based in Seattle — hosted the 3rd annual Seattle Power Tool Race & Derby, in which power tool dragsters of Frankenstein-like construction are challenged to race head-to-head down a 60 foot plywood track.
There's a great Flickr gallery up, showing off some of the better creations, as well as the day's deathmatches. And then there's this culture mob video:
