Southern Gardening: Bald cypress, Japanese maple, magnolias excel
Even though fall is the ideal time, it's still not too late to plant nice trees into our Mississippi gardens and landscapes. Of course I can't list every tree in this column, but I want to draw your attention to a few I'm sure you won't be disappointed to have in your yard.
The first is the bald cypress. You may think it has to be planted in soggy locations, but this tree is very adaptable. Some of the best specimens I have seen were being grown in very high and dry locations such as islands in parking lots and planting wells in sidewalks.

B Is for Beer (2009)
by Tom Robbins
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Review: B Is For Beer by Tom Robbins.
Tom's creativity creates a book about beer for children and adults. When I started the book I thought he did a wonderful job using a pixie to describe how beer was made to a six-year-old girl named Gracie Perkel. The subject was an educational lesson about how beer was made. Even as an adult I was getting a lesson of history myself. I never knew that the making of beer started centuries ago in Egypt. Robbins also used humor throughout the story which made me chuckle a few times.
Grace's inquisitive mind wanted to know why daddy and uncle Moe like to drink beer. She brought the subject up to her mother and her mother said, "Go ask your daddy". Gracie decided to do one better then that, she asked daddy for a sip of beer while he and uncle Moe were watching a game on the television. Of course the answer was "NO", beer is for adults. However, dear cunning uncle Moe lets her have a sip behind daddy's back. "Yuck", she said to uncle Moe, it had a nasty bitter taste to her. Then he started to explaining information about the history of beer, and the process in making beer. A lot of what he said was in one ear and out the other for Gracie, she was still thinking of the bitter taste. Gracie's birthday was coming up so uncle Moe promised to bring her to a brewery so she could see the process and understand it better. Uncle Moe thought he would tell her parents they were going somewhere else. So Gracie had a secret and couldn't wait to go with uncle Moe.
Gracie also wanted a pink cell phone and her mother was doing all she could to find one and wasn't having any luck in that area…Plus, uncle Moe hurt his foot and had to tell Gracie that their secret trip was off. Then Gracie found out her daddy wouldn't be around for her birthday because of a serious meeting out of town for his work….Oh yea! Gracie was not dumb…"Why was his secretary going with him"? She also had a party planned but now a bunch of kids in her class had the flu virus and now the party was squashed…Everything Gracie wanted wasn't going to happen and she was very disappointed. She took a can of beer from the refrigerator and smashed it on top of her birthday cake….She returned to the refrigerator and took a beer out, opened it and guzzled it down so fast so she wouldn't taste the bitterness.
It didn't take long before Gracie got sick from the beer and vomited on her bedroom carpet. That's when the room started spinning and she started slurring her words. Gracie made it to her bed and slowly she past out. However, Gracie thought she was fine because the Beer Fairy was with her and she took her on an educational tour through the process of making beer but also educating her what the pros and cons were when people drank….Up to this point in the book I thought it was a great book but after the adventure with the Beer Fairy Tom Robbins added other issues as, adult bickering, divorce, relationships, along with dysfunctional family problems. He was sending Gracie down a number of paths that I really didn't care for. He should have stopped with the Beer Fairy. I don't think it was the right time to introduce other unrelated messy subjects for a child without having the time to deal and explained those issues more in depth then twenty five pages. Tom Robbins should have stayed with Gracie's Beer curiosity…..
I have long been a fan of Tom Robbins (I frequently quote Still Life With Woodpecker), and I love beer…. but this little book left me underwhelmed. The story of 6 year-old Gracie's visit from the beer fairy read like an informational brochure for the brewing industry. Robbins's wacky and wonderful descriptions shone through a few times, but not nearly often enough to satisfy me. The only Robbins book I have not wanted to read again. Sorry Tom… we'll always have Mu.
Gracie is a very curious little girl. She asks a ton of questions like most little girls, but her questions revolve around the beer that her dad and Uncle Mo drink. Her questions are never answered until she is finally visited by the Beer Fairy.
I thought this was a very well written book and in many parts hilarious. I am actually looking forward to the next Robbins novel. I think this book would be for anyone that enjoys the occassional brew or nice adult beverage.
quick read. funny at times. so-so
Prior to reading this book I had never read anything written by him. After reading this book, I doubt I will read anything more written by him.
Funny? No. Amusing? Slightly.
A little girl who is intrigued by beer, accidentally gets drunk on the 6th birthday & pukes on her Hello Kitty rug.... In a drunker stupor she is visited by the Beer fairy who takes her on a tour of how beer is made, from the Barley fields to the brewery, to a Beer Festival.

In this story for both children and adults, kindergartner Gracie decides to find out just what beer is and why her father likes it so much. Along the way she discovers more than she probably expected.

My family and I went here for dinner for a break from seafood. This place was great! My husband had the fried chicken dinner. He said it was fantastic. I had the buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. Amazing! It was a huge serving...
yelp - August 5, 2016
...I had the BBQ Sampler. Pulled pork, pulled brisket, and pulled chicken with bbq beans, coleslaw, corn bread and sweet potato fries and a Cape Cod Red Ale. With all the seafood restaurants at the Cape, this is an excellent alternative.
yelp - August 2, 2016
Yum. My husband loves BBQ and this place did not disappoint. Friendly staff seated us right away and it seemed that as soon as we ordered, BOOM, our food appeared. That's a huge plus when you're eating with two young kids in tow...
yelp - July 28, 2016
Well worth your money. Great BBQ and an abundance of sides served with their bbq platters. You won't leave hungry...

Russ & Marie Swart and Staff Welcome You!
In its 14th season in 2016, Russ & Marie's Marconi Beach BBQ & Seafood Restaurant is the Outer Cape's only authentic southern pit-style smoked barbecue. Others may slap on sauce and call it BBQ, but this is the real, slow-smoked, tender-like-butter deal. Their pork ribs are smoked for hours, using assorted woods such as apple, hickory, pear and cherry… resulting in meat even the most die hard southern barbecue fan would be proud of. Devotees love the selection of pork ribs, pulled pork, pulled beef brisket, and pulled chicken. The menu at this relaxed, table service restaurant is not one-dimensional, however. It also features regional favorites, such as lobsters and clam bakes, succulent prime rib and steaks, fish and chips, steamers, and other baked and broiled seafood options and pasta dishes. But it's the barbeque that people come for, with owner Russ Swart's smoker infusing the air along Route 6 with a delicious aroma. If you're looking for a meal on the run, the delicious BBQ and homemade fried chicken are always available for take out. There is also a full bar serving your favorite cocktails, beer and wine. Stop in for lunch or dinner daily from 11:30am.
Check our web site for all of our menus, including daily lunch specials and take-out options like Buckets of Fried Chicken and BBQ a la Carte.

Spirit-Sonia: New town, New me.
"Are y' sure we have to move, Mum? I mean, surely it's not necessary to move half way across the country...." I ask, heaving the final cardboard box to her.
She sighs, "Yes dear, I have a new job to go to, an-and it'll be good for us to move on."
"Hmm," it's just us two now. After that accident, where half of our household died.
"Don't worry hun," she says placing a hand on my cheek. "It's all gunna be OK, the school there has a really good reputaion." Tears spring in the corners of my eyes, she wipes them away.
"Ok, Mum." I rub the tears away from my yellow eyes, sniffing.
"That's my girl," she smiles, her amber eyes creasing in the corners. I take down my bright blonde hair from it's pony tail and rearrange it in pig tails.
We load up the removal truck, and set off, half way across the country.
Bye bye home, bye bye me. Hello new town and a new me. A new life.
My name's Sonia Marks, I'm sixteen years old and I'm moving on.

Biomimetically synthesized nanosized hydroxyapatite particles have been converted into an injectable paste using a neutral phosphate buffer. Synthesized system manifested a self setting behavior at 37°C in 20 min and revealed a macroporous self assembled microstructure. Stability of the injectable hydroxyapatite has been confirmed in aqueous medium as well as in human blood. Effect of ball milling was also studied on the stability of the system.

text: Hello everyone, I was reading on FixMbr and FixBoot. This is what I've come to understand in distinguishing the two: FixMbr = Selects the defined (\Device\HardDisk0) hard disk from which the partition to load the o\s is located. FixBoot = selects the partition on the defined disk where the o\s will load from. Can someone correct or clarify this info? Thanks


text: Posted 18th July 2016 at 04:00 pm United initially signed Bradford City midfielder Jason Kennedy on a loan deal in March 2015 which kept him at Brunton Park until the end of that season. Immediately popular with the fans, he was offered a two-year deal in May 2015 and became the first summer signing when he agreed terms in June. Kennedy started his career at Middlesbrough, where he was an FA Youth Cup winner, and made his senior debut against Fulham in the 2004/05 season. He featured in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup campaign, playing the full 90 minutes against Litex Lovech, and enjoyed a six month loan spell with Livingston in 2007. A loan move to Darlington turned into a permanent deal in 2008, and a move to Rochdale followed in 2009. He helped Dale to promotion to League One during his first season at Spotland, and went on to make over 200 appearances during his time at the club. He penned a two year deal with the Bantams in July 2013 but made a surprise return to Rochdale for a half season loan deal at the end of the 13/14 campaign. Jason Kennedy is sponsored by CUSAT - Supporters' Away Travel.

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - November 1, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa JO The Cedar Rapids Gazette: Frf., Nov. I. 1974 Red Food Dye Rated 'Harm fuF WASHINGTON (UPI) - A Ralph Nader research group says a widely used food dye is so dangerous that if a 110-pound pregnant woman drinks more than a third of a can of strawberry soda pop a day she risks either cancer or damaging her baby. The dye involved is red No. 2, used for everything from strawberry ice cream and soda pop to lipstick and pill coatings. About I million pounds of it was used in food and cosmetics last year. Nader's health research group asked the Food and Drug Administration to ban the dye in 1971. Since then, it said Thursday, "consumers have eaten over $30 million worth of red No. 2, exposing themselves to alarming and unnecessary risks." It said there have been three Food and Drug Administration studies dating back to 1951 which "strongly indicate that red No. 2 does cause cancer." More Women Are Running for Office This Year Ny Peggy Simpson WASHINGTON (AF*) — More women are running for more offices this year than ever before, and two of them are expected to win major statewide posts in Tuesday's elections. Rep. Kila Grasso is favored to become governor of Connecticut and Mary Ann Krupsak is ahead in her bid for lieutenant governor of New York. At the same time, women are expected to substantially increase their numbers in state legislatures. But women could slip back from their current congressional strength of 16 seats. Rep. Grasso, a Democrat, would become the fourth woman governor in U. S. history, and the first to make it without benefit of a husband's coattails. She has two decades of experience in Connecticut politics. Miss Krupsak, a state senator who defied Democratic party leaders to capture the nomination for lieutenant governor, would be the first woman elected to a major statewide office in New York. She ran her insurgent campaign on the slogan "She's not just one of the boys." Other major women candidates include Democrats Barbara Mikulski of Maryland and Betty Roberts of Oregon, both running for the senate, and Republican Louise Gore, a gubernatorial candidate in Maryland. All three are challenging heavily-favored incumbents. grass roots elections of women on school boards, city councils, state courts and as county sheriffs and administrators. Thousands more women sought elective office this year than ever before — including nuns in Tennessee and iowa (Sister Genevieve Birchard of ('edar Rapids is running for Linn county treasurer), a brothel owner in Nevada, an activist Quaker grandmother in New Hampshire, a right-to-life conservative in New York, a lesbian in Massachusetts and a young Peace Corps veteran who swims the California coast to dramatize her opposition to offshore oil wells. Nobody has a precise fix on the number of women candidate's. But the National Women's Political Caucus says 1,029 women sought state and congressional seats in 1972. This year, Political Director Freddie Weensier estimates that more than 1,800 women ran for comparable seats. Primary Survivors Spoiler's Role In New York, Barbara Keating, a Vietnam war widow , is the Conservative party nominee for the senate. She could play the spoiler's role, siphoning off as many as one million votes from Republican Sen. Jacob K. Javits and his Democratic challenger, Ramsey Clark. Less visible but highly significant were the expected More than 1,100 women survived the primaries, she said, including 1,000 candidates for state legislatures and three -major-party candidates for the senate, 44 for the house, three for governor, four for lieutenant governor and ll for secretary of state. At last count there were 462 women among the 7.584 state legislators or slightly more than 6 percent. "We look to increase this about 50 percent, to between 600 and 700," said Betsy Wright, director of the National Women's Education Fund. The figures are skewered, however, by the disproportionate share of women in New Hampshire's 400-member legislature. There are 89 women legislators there now and 160 are seeking seats this November. Every state has at least one woman legislator — Alabama and Nebraska have only one each — but many states have never elected a woman to the U. S. house or senate. This year. three of the 16 congresswomen are retiring and Rep. Grasso quit to run for governor The>12incun\\lien!s are likely to win again. Reps. Patsy Mink (D-Hawa , « Lindy Boggs (D-La), have G O P. women opponents and Rep. I/Minor Sullivan (D-Mo.) has two women opponents. Changing Areas "A lot of women are running in marginal or changing areas," said a Democratic analyst. "Colleen (Manners district in California is one of those, where redistricting last year cut out many conservative areas and brought in blue collar voters." The 29-year-old Miss O'Connor has shaped one of the most visible races in the country, swimming the district s coastline to demonstrate against pollution and trying to tie 22-year G.O.P Rep. Bob W'ilson closer to the ITT case and the Nixon presidency. She is rated a possible upset winner. At least two congressional races involve controversies over the personal behavior of the incumbents — ways and means chairman. Wilbur D. Mills, and judiciary committee member, Joseph Maraziti, a Republican. Mills was involved in a bizarre incident a month ago near Washington's Tidal Basin in which a female companion, identified as a former stripper, left his car and jumped into the water. Maraziti has been discovered to have a no-show attractive woman staffer on his congressional payroll, whom he says gives him oral reports on her research. Republican Judy Petty is given only a slight chance to upset Mills in Arkansas, despite sizable last-minute help from G.O.P. headquarters. Democrat Helen Meyner, wife of the former New Jersey governor and a newspaper columnist, is given a good chance to trip Maraziti in her second try in two years. 3 ear Society for Women Features Space Flight To Include Women by the Early 1980s By Howard Benedict HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Women scientists will fly into space early in the 1980s and by late in that decade will be part of multinational crews on large space stations, two male astronauts predict. The prediction reflects the views of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin, the first American physician to fly into space as a member of last year's Skylab I crew, and Dr. Robert Parker, scientist-astronaut for the Skylab program, made the forecast Wednesday at a conference here evaluating Skylab results. Shuttle Program "There's no question but that women will fly in the early 1980s if the space shuttle program remains on schedule/* Parker said. The shuttle is a reusable rocket ship expected to ferry hundreds of researchers from many lands into orbit starting in 1979. "There was a time when the public was not ready for the thought of men and women going to the moon together," Parker said. "But times have changed. I don't foresee any problem about men and women getting along together on space missions. We're not talking about dizzy blonde secretaries, but reputable women scientists." Kerwin said the Skylab project, in which men worked in space for up to 84 days, proved that men and women researchers making space trips aboard the shuttle will not have to undergo rigorous physical training that has been required of astronauts. "Anybody in a reasonable state of health, regardless of age, will be able to fly as an experimenter in the operational shuttle and space station programs," he said. "We now know people can spend three months in weightless space if they eat and exercise properly. No Problem "As a doctor, I would have no hesitation in recommending space flight for a person for as long as six months. And for short periods of time up to 30 days as contemplated in the shuttle program, there would bt' no problem at all." Kerwin said more research needs to be done to determine whether man can stay in space for a year or more, which would bt* reauired for planetary trips. Parker and Kerwin both predicted the shuttle will open the way to large international space stations later in the next decade. "Exploration is a bit of a luxury," Kerwin said. "But I am sure we can demonstrate there is a need for a large space station to benefit mankind on earth. And it will bt* economically feasible."

One of the comments I made when doing my "first impressions" of the Mirra backup device was that the Windows software starts two separate services running in two different processes.
I see this a lot – people architect their product into multiple services (which is often a good thing), but they then run the services in separate processes.
Sometimes this is a good thing – for example, the Windows Media Connect add-on for Windows runs as two services – one service does very little, but runs as LocalSystem (full privileges). The other service (which does most of the work) runs in a limited LocalService account. By running as two services, in two different privilege levels, the Windows Media Connect carefully limits which functionality has to run with elevated privileges. This is a good example of the principle of least privilege – isolate the parts of the functionality that need higher privileges and run them out-of-proc instead of running the entire service with elevated privileges.
But sometimes it doesn't really make sense. Mirra is a good example, and there are others as well. These products have multiple Windows Services, which run in the same security context, but use separate processes.
Why is this a big deal? Well, unlike *nix, on Windows, a process is a relatively expensive entity. It takes a non trivial amount of time to launch a process, and each process consumes a fair amount of system resources (something like 1M of virtual memory, just for the various process structures (virtual address map, handle table, etc), IIRC). Each process running drains the system of resources that could be used for your application, so it's important to reduce the number of system processes running. It always annoys me when I install some application and discover that it's installed three or four processes that run all the time on my machine, especially when those functions could have been combined into a single process.
For services, this is especially annoying – the NT service controller has had support for shared services built-in since NT 3.1.
You can see shared services in action on any Windows machine. If you have the SDK tool tlist.exe, you can run "tlist -s" and see the services running in each process. On my machine, tlist shows (among other things):
1280 svchost.exe Svcs: AudioSrv,BITS,CryptSvc,Dhcp,dmserver,ERSvc,EventSystem,helpsvc,lanmanserver,lanmanworkstatio
In this example, svchost.exe is running 26 different services. Without shared services, each of these would be a separate process, thus consuming a huge chunk of resources. In fact, that's the entire purpose of svchost – it provides a common hosting framework for Windows to use for shared services. svchost.exe is an internal-only facility, but the functionality on which it is based is available for everyone. To specify a service as being a shared service, all you need to do is to specify the dwServiceType as SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS when you call CreateService and the service controller will do "the right thing".
You need to do a smidge more work – if you're a shared service, then when you call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher, you need to specify all the services that will be running in your process, but that's about it.
When you ask the service controller to start a share process service, the service controller first looks to see if that service is started. If it's not, it looks at the running service control dispatchers to see if there's a dispatcher running for the new service. If there is a dispatcher running for the service, then it uses that dispatcher to start the new service, if there isn't, it launches the process that was specified in the lpBinaryPathName parameter to CreateService.
The bottom line is that if you're responsible for more than one service (or your product contains more than one service), you should seriously consider combining them into a single process – it's not that much extra effort, and the benefits can be huge.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have been released in three new colours in Australia. Both of the smartphones are available in Gold Platinum, the S6 Edge can be purchased in Green Emerald, while Blue Topaz is reserved for the S6 alone. We go hands on with the former.
The next generation Galaxy Note 4 benefits from a metal chassis and a larger 5.7in screen.
Samsung proudly showcased its next generation of products in Bali at the Samsung Forum 2014. On display was a curved television that had UHD resolution, a new mirrorless camera, the line up of powerful Pro tablets and much, much more.
Samsung has just released the Galaxy S4 Active in Australia, a water and dust resistant Android smartphone. It's best described as a rugged version of the original Galaxy S4, rated at IP67 standards to survive being submerged in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. Let's go hands-on!
From a new digital assistant to a beefed up camera, Samsung is angling for a major comeback in the new year.

Samsung must now battle long-term damage to the company's reputation after the unprecedented recall of all Note7 phones.
Samsung says the replacement phones, part of 1 million shipped now in use, are safe and not prone to catching fire.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

The Big Read: Let me put some life on Mars
Every so often I have a desire to do something that very few others have done, so that in old age I'll be able to rock back on my barstool and recall it in exquisite detail for my lucky companions.
I've always wanted to spend a season in Antarctica in one of those research bases, huddling bristly over my morning coffee, absent-mindedly ruffling my favoured husky who in my head I've already called Hemingway, keeping a weather-eye open for comets that might crash in a nearby glacier and awaken a centuries-dormant sleeping menace beneath the ice.
I've pursued this dream the way most of us pursue our dreams - by sitting around and hoping someone asks me to do it - but lately I've thought maybe Mars is the thing. I think I'd be good at going to Mars.
Not Mars One, though. Mars One is the Dutch-based project intending to establish a human colony on the red planet by 2027. They've already winnowed down the first applicants through recruitment interviews and medical tests and I assume psychological evaluations ("You seem sane - no thank you"). Part of the Mars One business model involves raising funds through a reality TV show involving the final candidates, competing to make the cut for the final four. I'd watch that show.
The main drawback of Mars One is it's a show that can't be cancelled. Once the volunteers leave Earth, they can never come back. The idea is they'll settle down in geodesic domes built by automated rovers, and start breeding and living out their lives far from heat and light and the arms of humanity. Well, I suppose if they can do it in Fish Hoek, they can do it on Mars, but it doesn't appeal to me. What's the point of gathering stories to tell when you can only tell them to people with the same stories as you?
I'm more interested in the HI-SEAS project, which ended this week on a cindered volcanic hillside in Hawaii. For a full year six people simulated living on Mars, sharing a 365 square metre tent and wearing a spacesuit to go outside. It doesn't sound so bad. They tried to make it sound extra gruelling by announcing that in order to replicate the brutal conditions of deep space, e-mails back home were subject to a 20-minute delay. They don't make astronauts like they used to. When Buzz Aldrin trained for his moon mission he replicated lunar-earth communications the old-fashioned way, by posting a letter and waiting 18 months for the next moon mission to bring him a reply.
The fauxstronauts emerged this week with advice for future star travellers. "Bring books," they said. No problem, I can do that, although I probably didn't need a multimillion dollar research project to provide that insight.
One of them complained about "Earthflashes" - sudden vivid imaginary glimpses of favourite places where she'd spent time - a Manhattan street corner, a spot on the Boston waterfront. No one else from the tent described Earthflashes, and you had rather the sense that there was someeye-rolling going on as she described hers.
The major problem, they all agreed, is spending so much time with faces that have grown hateful with enforced familiarity. I can understand that. Jon Krakauer has described being snowed into a pup tent with a climbing buddy, his best friend, and feeling genuine brotherly love turn uncontrollably to homicidal hatred in the space of 48 hours. I reckon the thing would be to go in with a gameplan for amusing yourself. Here's what I'd do: I'd set about convincing the group that one of us in this tent, unbeknownst to the rest, is a serial killer. I'm not sure how I'd do that. Maybe I'd have to kill someone. All right, so not a serial killer then - maybe I'd persuade them that one of us is a yoghurt thief. I would do this by each morning saying: "Who stole my yoghurt?" and glaring at each person in turn. Then, one night, to make it more convincing, I'd steal someone else's yoghurt.
If anyone suspected me and through a patient investigation exposed me as the covert yoghurt thief and possible nascent serial killer, I'd tell them that I'm not a regular contestant, I'm a Nasa mole sent in to shake things up and write assessments of them, and that whoever gave me their yoghurt from now on could expect a good report.
At night I'd use a special device that I'd brought with me to leave unidentifiable beast-shaped prints in the dust outside around the tent. Basically, I'd use all the same tricks and techniques I use for keeping my marriage fresh. Oh, what times we'd have. Are you listening, Nasa? Pick me for the next HI-SEAS mission. I have the right stuff.

A HUGE thanks to my Beta, Laurel. I do not own Naruto.
Recap: "Where will I be staying?" Naruto asked, curiously, despite still being slightly unnerved by recent happenings.
"With me," Minato replied, steering Naruto back down the corridor.
"Minato-" Jiraiya spoke up from behind them but he was cut off by the Hokage.
"He's staying with me." His tone was final, ending any and all discussion on the topic.
Naruto blinked up in surprise at the blond behind him. He didn't know what to think about the entire situation. It was just too confusing. The only thing that he was certain of was the relief at the prospect of getting a break from it all. More than anything, though, he wanted to get out of the dark lower corridors of the Hokage Tower. He didn't know what type of house the Hokage lived in, but any place was better than the dark, echoing hall ways, especially that room with the crystal.
Chapter 6
"Here we are!" Minato tried to inject as much enthusiasm into his voice as possible.
Since leaving the Hokage Tower, particularly the room housing the crystal glass, Naruto had been quiet. Minato didn't know if this was normal for the boy, he knew surprisingly little about Naruto, but that didn't stop him from trying to cheer up the general mood.
Arriving at the house seemed to distract them both. Minato smiled as Naruto's head swiveled to and fro taking in as much of the house as he could. Customarily used by the Hokage, the building was located in a quieter section of the village, away from the busy center but still within the walls. It wasn't the grandest house in the village. It was old and since its creation other, larger houses had gone up, but it still held a calm dignity. A small garden and lawn surrounded it on either side, though the grounds looked a little over grown. The house had two stories; the traditional style beautiful in its simplicity.
In all honesty, the house was too big for Minato and he sometimes hated returning to it at night. He only used a few rooms inside and spent as much time away from it as possible. Occasionally, he would think of moving into a smaller apartment. There was no rule or law saying the Hokage must live there, but Kushina had loved the house. She had once said that it reminded her of the houses in Whirlpool before her country was destroyed, so Minato stayed.
Fumbling with the folders that had been thrust onto him by a frantic clerk before leaving the Tower, Minato unlocked the door. He nudged his son inside and turned, looking for his sensei. The Toad Sage had surreptitiously disappeared soon after leaving the Tower. Part of Minato was glad to have a moment alone with Naruto without Jiraiya's cautious eye surveying every interaction between the two, or move from the boy, but another part of him wondered what the old man was up to. Minato didn't want to have to spend another afternoon smoothing over complaints from half the young women in the village.
Still, there was no sign of Jiraiya outside so Minato kicked the door closed with one foot and dropped his heavy stack of paperwork on the nearest flat surface before pulling off his sandals. He glared at the stack, quietly cursing his own inability to escape without the clerk's notice. The desk ninja's demeanor had quickly gone from shock to panic at finding out that the Hokage was leaving unexpectedly for an undetermined amount of hours without finishing the morning's reports. One last glance at the loathed pile and Minato was fairly certain that the reports weren't more likely to be finished at the house with Naruto around than if they had both stayed in his empty office.
Minato smiled at Naruto as the boy gazed around the inside of the house as much as the outside. The entrance hall was one of the few places Minato still put effort into maintaining well. The furniture was simple and elegant dark wood, much of it predating Minato's time in the house. On the rare occasions that visitors came to the house, they mostly kept to the entrance hall or the sitting room beyond the first main door.
Naruto wandered around the edge of the hall, closely examining everything and anything in reach, pulling open drawers and peering into the closet. He came to the sitting room entrance and poked his head in, Minato following behind him and doing the same. The older blond cringed as he saw the state of the room. It was relatively clean, free of dust and clutter with two couches placed facing each other in the center of the room around a low coffee table. The few extra chairs and side tables around the walls were straight as was the large bookshelf lining the far wall. The only things out of place were the books strewn all around the room, stacked on the coffee table, side tables, and couch cushions rather than on the shelves reserved for them.
"I meant to pick those up," Minato muttered to himself, pulling Naruto away from the sitting room. "Well," he said in a louder voice as he guided the boy toward the stairs, "I guess we should find you a room to stay in first."
Naruto looked up at him surprise and excitement in his expression. "So I really get to stay here?" he asked eyes wide and bright. "And you don't mind?"
"Of course I don't mind," Minato said, half distracted as he thought of bed rooms that would be useable. He came out of his thoughts just long enough to smile down at his son, "I'm glad to have you stay."
Minato started leading the way up the stairs but paused when he couldn't hear the sound of steps behind him. He turned back and looked down. Naruto was still at the foot of the stairs, staring at the steps before him with a frown.
"Naruto-kun?" Minato asked.
"Why are you doing this?" Naruto asked, looking up at him.
The confusion and barest trace of suspicion in Naruto's eyes hit Minato like a physical blow and for the first time he wondered what type of life Naruto had growing up alone in the village. He wouldn't think that his son would be abandoned if things had been different. Still, there were little things, behavioral ticks, reactions, and comments like the last one which were making Minato nervous. He had a sinking feeling that he was not going to like what he found out about Naruto's life in the mirror world. It was yet another thing on the growing list of items to discuss with the Sandaime. He pushed it to the side, though. It was a topic for another time, in another place. Right now, his focus was on making Naruto comfortable with a room for the night.
Minato backtracked down the stairs and knelt so that he was level with the boy. "I'm doing this because I want to," because you're my son, he added silently. He was tempted to just tell Naruto the truth, but he didn't know where to begin, didn't even know how to continue the conversation if he did manage to start. Instead, he found himself reaching out and grasping Naruto's shoulders. "I know this is probably very confusing but I promise I'll explain, at least what I understand of it. First, let's find you a place to stay."
Naruto stared at Minato for a long moment and the man had the sudden feeling he was being weighed and measured. The confusion didn't completely leave Naruto's face but the frown smoothed out and his eyes brightened. Then, Naruto was running up the stairs, pulling away from Minato's hands in a burst of energy. "Right! Do I get my own room? Which one is it?" he yelled, bare feet pattering on the wooden stairs.
Minato blinked in surprise and hurried to catch up. "Some of the rooms aren't quite ready to have someone stay in them." He got to the second floor and found Naruto poking his head into the first door on the right. "That room is my office," he said pulling the boy away from the half open door. He caught a brief glance at the work space covered with books, scrolls, and half finished sealing experiments, what the sitting room could become if neglected for another few weeks. "You're not to go in there unless I give you my permission or it's an emergency. There's sensitive material in there, and I don't want you getting hurt, understood?" Minato pulled the door closed, trying to sound stern. There were some dangerous scrolls in there and several of the projects he was working on weren't safe for an academy student. He reminded himself to place some security seals on the door just in case.
Luckily, the eight year didn't seem interested in the room in the slightest. Naruto shrugged and hurried on to the next door. Minato followed suit and wrinkled his nose at the state of the neighboring room. Dust lay everywhere in the single bed room. There were boxes stacked on the floor and the bed frame was bare of its mattress. Minato spotted it leaning up against the corner. It took him a moment to remember that the room had been turned into storage years ago. "This one won't do."
"You can say that again," Naruto mumbled and pulled away from the door and headed the other way down the hall to the left of the stair case.
The next room was in a similar state, but lacked the boxes and had a mattress that was at least on the bed. Looking into rooms he hadn't physically visited for years, Minato felt surprisingly embarrassed. "I don't use these rooms much, haven't needed to."
"That's ok!" Naruto called, heading to the next door. He seemed more excited by the act of exploring than anything else. "I don't like cleaning either."
Minato frowned to himself. That wasn't the impression he had wanted to give to his son. He really was a neat person. Besides the habit of leaving his reading everywhere, he had always been the neater of the two when compared to Kushina. Most of the rooms in the house simply weren't needed, considering how little he was there, so he never used them. He added cleaning out the house on his list of things to do; maybe he would have some genin go through the empty rooms as a D rank mission.
The third room held a greater surprise than the two before it. Managing to open the door before Naruto, Minato stopped at seeing Jiraiya running a hand over a plain bureau, the Sanin's large pack sitting on the bed, curtains rustling on either side of an open window.
"Minato-kun, you need a maid," the older man said before Minato could speak, "Preferably a young, pretty, and single one."
The bachelor Hokage rolled his eyes at the comment. "What are doing, Sensei?" He pushed the door open wider, letting Naruto into the room. This one didn't seem too bad. The dust was only a thin layer and the bed was already made. He eyed the pack sitting on the same bed.
"What does it look like?" Jiraiya said, brushing the dust off his hands and smiling at both blonds. "Here I am in town, needing a place to stay, and I thought what better place than my old student's house? He has more room than he can stand and wouldn't turn away an old friend."
"No bath house this time?" Minato asked, a knowing smirk on his face.
"What? And neglect my favorite student?" Jiraiya asked, exaggerated shock in his voice. "It's almost like you don't want me to stay. That hurts; I thought you would appreciate the company."
Minato rolled his eyes again, but the smile stretched a little wider and there was more relief in it than humor. Minato was starting to feel a little out of his depth. He'd been living alone for so long and suddenly an eight year old was in his care. The thought of having help was a relief and it would mean that his sensei would be close at hand to help with any situations. "We'd be glad for the company, wouldn't we, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto looked startled to be included in the statement, wide, surprised eyes shooting up to Minato's smiling face then moving to Jiraiya's before a low smile spread over his own. "Yeah!" Naruto cried, a little louder than necessary, "That'd be great! Now there's three of us! We just need to find one more room then!" and he was off, shooting out of the room and down the hall.
Minato glanced after the streak of blond hair and saw Naruto open the door to another room that he knew was a closet. The boy's enthusiasm was contagious, like Kushina's had been, and he smiled back to Jiraiya who was shaking his head.
"That kid better not be that energetic all the time. I'm too old to deal with loud brats," the smile on the man's face as he turned to his pack undermining the complaint.
"He'll probably run you into the ground if he is, Old Man," Minato said, adding after a moment, "He'll probably run me into the ground. I wonder where he gets it all." He thought of the seal that he had seen on Naruto's stomach. He had forgotten about it after everything that had happened. Putting a hand into his pocket, Minato pulled out the scroll which he had copied Naruto's seal onto, "Here, look at this. Tell me what you think of it in private after we find Naruto a room."
His serious tone made Jiraiya look at him and then at the outstretched scroll. He took the scroll pulling it open and running a quick eye over the contents. "This is one of your seals," he said with a furrowed brow.
"Not quite, it's been modified," Minato said. Down the hall he heard another door closing beyond the closet and hurried out of the room. "Look it over carefully and tell me what you think."
In the end, they settled for a room next to Minato's. It was covered in just as much dust as the others, but had a full set of furniture and a large window that Naruto loved. Despite his claim that he disliked cleaning, Naruto seemed excited enough about the prospect of his own room in the shared house to attack the dust contaminating it. They would have to get Naruto some more clothes and other essentials, but Minato was satisfied enough with the day's progress to leave that off for another time. He left the boy with a bucket of water and some rags, promising to check on him in an hour or so after talking with Jiraiya.
The older man was sitting on the bed in the room he'd claimed his own, looking over the seal. His face was creased in concentration and his bag, still packed, had been shifted to the floor. Minato slipped into the room and shut the door behind him. He crossed to a chair pushed up against the desk next to the window and, turning it to face his sensei, sat down to wait.
Several minutes passed in silence before Jiraiya opened his mouth to speak. "This is one of your seals," he said without looking up, "I remember when you were working on it. I doubt I've caught all the modifications you mentioned, but I've noticed a few. When did you make those?"
"I didn't," Minato replied, leaning back and crossing his arms and legs, "I found that seal on Naruto's stomach."
That brought Jiraiya's head up, his wide eyes meeting Minato's. "This was on Naruto's stomach?" he repeated in amazement.
Minato didn't wait for any other prompt. "When I found him he was wounded, nothing life threatening, but enough to put him in shock and suffering from blood loss. I brought him to the hospital and the nurse there said he was healing at an accelerated rate. I discovered the seal while removing his ruined clothing."
"Accelerated healing, you say?" Jiraiya looked back down at the seal, fingers tracing over parts of it. "Well that explains some of the additions. These additions are for the recycling chakra. I'm guessing the other you in Naruto's world made those additions and considering the original purpose of the seal…" He looked up to Minato again for confirmation.
Minato leaned forward, propping his elbows on his knees and looked down at his hands. For the first time he voiced his fears. "I think Naruto is a Jinchuuriki…and…I think I turned him into one." Silence greeted the statement. It stretched out until Minato couldn't stand it. He looked up.
Jiraiya was looking at him, posture mirroring his own. "You didn't do that to him."
"A version of me did."
"That wasn't you. That was someone else, someone facing different circumstances and making different decisions," Jiraiya's voice was firm and his gaze steady.
Minato wasn't sure he believed his teacher, part of him still twisted with guilt at the thought of doing such a thing to his son. Kushina had never talked much about being the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki, but he still saw the pain it put her through during her life. He would never want that type of life for his son.
"It still doesn't explain what happened to him when we went to see the crystal glass earlier," Jiraiya's voice drew Minato out of his thoughts before he could sink much farther, the tone thoughtful.
"No, it doesn't," the younger man agreed, leaning back and forcing his mind away from his darker thoughts. "I've never seen a reaction like that, can't think of what might have triggered it…could have been one of a dozen different things."
"Naruto's the first that I've ever heard of to travel between possible worlds," Jiraiya agreed. He rolled up the scroll containing Naruto's seal and slipped it into his bag. "It could be a side effect of traveling between the two. I don't even know how to begin predicting what that would do to a human body, much less a person's mind. Perhaps we should consult Tsunade."
Minato nodded, eyes roving over the bare wood floor, stopping briefly on Jiraiya's sandals by the wall. The boards needed sweeping and mopping. The whole house had been neglected for far too long. He had a feeling a large part of his life had been neglected, as well, he just hadn't noticed it until now, like the dust in the unopened rooms. Minato snorted at himself, he needed more sleep. He dragged his wandering thoughts back to the issue at hand. "Then there's the period immediately before he came through that he doesn't remember. Anything could have happened in that time."
Jiraya nodded, grunting in agreement. "If we could talk to the Sandaime that would undoubtedly clear things up."
"But if the enemy has gained control of their tower and has access to the crystal…" Minato heaved a sigh, it was only going on noon and he already felt exhausted.
"We won't know unless we try. There will always be some risk," the older man said. Jiraiya stood up, picking his pack up and setting it back on the bed. "You're tired, and we won't be able to find out much more for now. Let's take a few hours at least to let things soak in a bit. I'm going to be staying for longer than planned, so you better have some sake down stairs or you're going to have a grumpy house guest." He tipped the bag upside down and poured the contents out onto the bedspread.
Minato pushed himself up, nodding in agreement. "I wonder if there's any food in the kitchen…" he said out loud as he headed out the door. He'd check on Naruto then move on to the kitchen to look at their food supplies. He couldn't remember the last time he'd gone grocery shopping, which was enough to tell him that he'd probably be stopping by the market later that day. Takeout wasn't going to be good enough for a growing boy.
"Hokage-sama, I have the report." The ANBU appeared, crouched low before Sarutobi and the table strewn with maps and papers.
"Proceed," the old Hokage said, never looking away from the intricate street map of Konoha's eastern quarter.
"Hai," the ANBU said with a slight bow of the head, "The enemy has taken approximately sixty percent of the village. Most of the residential districts are over run, as well as the front gate and the Hokage Tower. We have sustained heavy losses, but so have the invading forces. Most of our high ranking shinobi are still alive and the majority is able to fight. There is no report yet on the high raking enemy shinobi. We have captured several Iwa-nin that are currently being interrogated, when we have extracted information from them we will bring it to you immediately."
"Very well," Sarutobi said, glancing down to the man kneeling before him. The ANBU's uniform was dirty and torn, stained with blood and dirt. Who knew how long the shinobi had been awake and fighting. "Take a few hours to rest, get some food and sleep."
"I can still fight, Hokage-sama," the ANBU protested, stiffening at the order.
Sarutobi shook his head with the wisdom of a man who had seen too many wars. "You won't be any good if you collapse from exhaustion. You will fulfill your duty far better if you take the chance to rest while you can; otherwise you become a danger to your comrades."
The shoulders sagged ever so slightly and the ANBU replied, "Hai, Hokage-sama. There is one more observation from the front lines. The Iwa forces are forming their main line of defense through the village. However, the Amegakure forces seem to be concentrating on and around the Hokage Tower."
The announcement made Sarutobi pause and his frown deepen. "Very well, get your rest and then prepare yourself. At night fall we will begin our counter offensive."
The ANBU bowed low again and disappeared from the room. Sarutobi turned back to his maps, but he didn't see them. His mind was on the report he'd just received. While it was reassuring knowing his most effective shinobi were still able to carry on, it also grieved him to hear that so many of their youngest had fallen, men and women who hadn't even had a chance to live their life yet. It reminded him of the Shinobi Wars, a time he never wished to revisit in the remaining years of his life.
The most disturbing news, however, was the distribution of the enemy. He had a feeling Iwa, while providing the bulk of the troops for the attack, was not the true antagonist. Amegakure, in his personal opinion, was the more dangerous of the two and probably the instigator.
And now they were in control of the Hokage Tower.
Sarutobi's thoughts immediately turned to the crystal mirror he'd used to talk with Minato sitting in the depths of the Tower. He could think of no possible way the enemy could be aware of its existence. The likelihood of them stumbling over it was even less, but aware or not, accidental discovery or not, the danger was still present. Sarutobi's mind raced to his personal notes and research, containing the seal that he had used to send Naruto through to safety. He had ordered its destruction along with the other sensitive information they could not allow to fall into enemy hands, but he hadn't been able to oversee it personally.
Shaking his head, Sarutobi refocused on the maps in front of him. Shikaku, head strategist, ran through possible plans and their probability of success. He couldn't change whether or his notes had been completely destroyed. The best thing they could do now was retake the Tower and push the enemy out of their strong holds. Anything else would have to come at its own time.
A/N Sorry about getting this up a little later than normal. I wanted to edit it before hand. Well, as I'm sure some of you know, this month is NANOWRIMO, so I will be putting the bulk of my efforts into my novel. If I get far enough ahead in the novel, I will post new chapters for this story, but I can't guarantee they'll be every week. Don't worry, though, I'll be back to updating regularly when November is over.

Failure to Communicate Isn't An Option
October 31, 2011
As the unified managed accounts business grows in size, so do the potential for errors when it comes to communicating information about investment models.
Those errors typically involve mistakes made by an overlay manager, working with an investment advisor, or a plan sponsor interpreting details from an investment manager about an investment model in either e-mail or fax.
The overlay manager could easily buy or sell the wrong security, the wrong number of shares, the wrong value of a security or not make the change in the intended model in a timely fashion. There is also no independent audit trail to keep track of the activities between them.
Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. last year helped create schemas for the content of messages that must be used between the investment manger and overlay manager. DTCC recently agreed to make them public by giving them to the Money Management Institute, which represents the separately managed accounts and wealth management industries. The business rules for the schemas were developed by the DTCC with the MMI and potential users.
The MMI will review those schemas and after making the necessary changes, publish them on its website next year, said Gary Jones, lead technical consultant to the MMI.
Here's the benefit. "Rather than the investment manager sending multiple messages on investment models in multiple formats, the manager can send the information once through DTCC, which will then distribute it to whichever overlay managers and sponsors the investment manager chooses," said Anne Bergin, managing director and general manager of wealth management services for DTCC. "Centralizing and standardizing the process supplies the provider and receiver of the messages with an audit trail, reduces the likelihood of mistakes and brings scalability to the market."
According to MMI and Dover Financial Research, UMAs were the fastest-growing segment of the separately accounts managed market as of June 2011, with about $138.8 billion of the $2.4 trillion in assets-a 72% increase over the previous year.
DTCC estimates that about 1,500 investment models are now being distributed across the UMA market, and the figure could surge to 14,000 by 2017.
DTCC's initiative isn't entirely altruistic. It is testing a communications hub called Model Management Exchange that will serve as the technology platform for model messaging. DTCC will be offering clients the ability to use the Web to send and receive models and transmit the model messages internally for additional middle and back-office processing.
"Giving up the schemas to MMI allows the broader industry to use them to enhance internal systems and integrate the messages into their own business processes," Jones said.
It is to DTCC's advantage to ensure that the model management exchange service has sufficient volume so that users can pay the lowest possible fees. First up to test the approach will be Morgan Stanley Smith Barney operating as an overlay manager and sponsor. Morgan Stanley will initially receive model information from 14 of its own investment managers, according to Bergin. Most large Wall Street wirehouses-such as Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citi-act as both sponsors and overlay managers.
Among the schemas DTCC will give MMI are messages for the provider of models to send the receivers to establish their initial relationship and about each investment model. The message will indicate what securities are in a model and what percentage each security represents as a percentage of the overall model.
Other messages are about updating the investment model, closing or opening the model to new money, or cancelling the relationship between the investment manager and overlay manager. The model receiver, in turn, can send messages to the model provider acknowledging receipt of an initial investment model or acceptance or rejection of the model and confirmation it was executed.
Each message on average contains about 100 data elements. At a minimum, each message contains a security identifier and an indication of the target holding amount or percentage. Each message must also identify the model provider sending the message, a model identifier and the model recipient.
Unified managed accounts are an extension of separately managed accounts and can include almost every asset in an investor's portfolio-single stocks, separate accounts, mutual funds and even hedge funds. By pulling a client's assets together instead of breaking them up across multiple accounts, UMAs make it easier for the sponsor to keep track of capital gains and losses and improve post-trade tax returns. The account customization for risk and tax management purposes allows financial advisers to better address the needs of their high-net-worth clients.
Technology vendors, such as Peridrome and Vestmark, have developed their own models and data formats, for keeping track of what's going on but don't appear to be concerned about any competition from DTCC. In fact, Vestmark, which heads up MMI's subcommittee for model messages, believes the communications standards are a way to concentrate on more important workflow tools.
