I have only been carrying for a couple of months, but it is amazing how fast you get used to it. I was on a trip all last week and couldn't take my gun with me. I was surprised at how naked I felt without it.
I don't suppose that ever changes, does it?

Yep I agree. I would have never thought that before I started carrying. I never leave the house without my wallet, my phone, or my sidearm.
No....the feeling never changes, it becomes as necessary to you as pants. Especially for those who have had this daily routine for decades.

I take my grandson to school each day. It's illegal here to have a firearm in your possession within 1000 feet from school property so therefore I'm unarmed until I get back home again. I'm nervous the whole time. I have doctor appointments every 3 months & that's also a gun-free zone & posted as such. It's a felony to possess a firearm in a posted gun-free zone in WI. Since the school is halfway to the doc's office I usually schedule the appointment for a short while after I drop him off so I can go directly there. Then the nervous time is extended by a half to a full hour. The FIRST thing I do when I get home is arm myself. I feel much better immediately. Feeling naked is too mild a word. Being the pessimist that I am I just KNOW that the ONLY time I'll need to be armed is during those times when I can't legally be.

The feeling never changes, I love how others choose to put my life at risk by not allowing carry in places.
I hate it, and while my time is relatively short as well it is like forgetting anything else. Feel uncomfortable and can't stop thinking about it.

You're not alone. I think that anyone who's used to carrying is probably in the same camp.

I've been carry for 4 years this month - and I now feel positively naked when I can't carry someplace! I rarely go anywhere that I can't carry legally. The doctor's office is one of the few places I go to that I can't carry. My doctor is not anti, but the medical "group" of which he is a member prohibits carrying in any of their offices or hospitals. I have to lock it in my truck, and feel naked until I get back to my truck and rearm! I don't go to the post office anymore - I can get stamps at the drugstore or grocery store. Any other stores that are posted do not get my money!

It's like mornings you go to work and leave you cell phone at home. You find yourself checking for it all day even though you know its not there.
Like the first time I wore contacts I kept catching myself putting my index finger up to the bridge of my nose to push my glasses back up...only problem was they weren't there. Just goes to show how much of a habit it was.
I absolutely despise not having a firearm on my person at any point in time.

I'm not surprised you felt that way, It's such a habbit for us guys :)
This morning I was rushed to get my son to daycare and myself to ework on time, and I forgot my spare magazine. Once I put the holster for my LCR on my belt, and my spare ammo pouch, but then forgot to put the gun in the holster. That was a very sinking feeling when I got home...

I travel a fair amount for work and I find myself looking at certain trips that used to be a no-brainer flight and thinking "maybe I could just drive it" if it is close enough and there is reciprocity. It is fascinating to see how my lifestyle is changing, even over just a few months.
I think I might need to write a book...

The stats arent different, moves are the same and when you play as the character hes the normal color and not red in the game. I would not reccomend this to anyone.
Disappointing for my son. Character is red but on game platform it is displayed as the regular Drill Sergeant with no special power. Also the collector's card in the packaging is of the regular Drill Seargent not red. Save your money.
This Skylander WalMart exclusuve is a gret value if your kids are into the game. My granddaughter will love it she is the one that pointed it out She will be suprised at Christmas
My daughter was so excited to get this
This item is the exact same as regular drill sergeant. It does not even look red in the game like other legendary characters. My sons are very dissapointed.
This item was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't find it in the store, so I ordered it online and it was here in just a couple of days.
Better then the PLAN Drill Sergeant.
it would be nice if you could have all the skylanders that came out.the ones you can,t find is hotdog,thumpback,eye-brawl
This item was a good value for the price and with free shipping to the store, it can't be beat. It will be a great addition to the Sklyander collection.

Yes. WhorlWindWeaving has its moments.
I filled two bobbins Sunday and finished carding the fleece. On Monday, I plyed using the Lendrum's handy giant bobbin creating a 9.5 oz. skein. With just six batts to go after that, I was sure to meet the Spring Equinox Spin Your Stash deadline.
This isn't bulky weight, but a nice worsted weight for cable knitting. I have the sweater all figured out, a design I came up with years ago and have been ever meaning to spin the yarn for and knit it. What's next? I can't decide which project to put on my carder. Should I blend natural brown cotton and bamboo for summer spinning, or should I forge ahead with the fingering weight yarn for the Kinsale I want to knit? I have the fleece for that project all picked and ready to card. Which shall I pick?

A computer is an indispensable part of our lives. We spend so much time on computers that imagining life without the aid of a computer is now unimaginable. It is more a necessity than a luxury in today's world. Computers are present in every person's life. A student uses computers to finish schoolwork, complete assignments and do research projects. A professional uses computers to stay connected with the rest of the workforce by sending and receiving emails and corresponding via the computer. Young people, children and old people all use computers on a daily basis whether it is work related, school related or family related. You can use computers to stay in touch with family and friends in any corner of the world, which is a big bonus. The only negative that I can think of when talking about desktop computers in this era is that they are bulky and non-portable. However, with the advancement in technology, we have now reached the age of the mini netbook, which is a small computer that is small, compact and portable.
A mini netbook is a small computer or in other words it is a small laptop. The screen of a netbook is usually 7 or 10 inches big and it may or may not have a keyboard as per your requirements. You can later get an external keyboard and attach it with your netbook if you need it or you can make use of the virtual keyboard. As the name suggests, a mini netbook is exactly that. It is miniature, which is why it is so easy to carry around with you. Today, you will see most students carrying a netbook instead of a laptop because it so convenient to carry. Netbooks are light and small and easily fit into your hand. They make for great reading while on the move. If you are fond of reading novels but never seem to have the time, you should buy a netbook. This way you can download e-books on your computer and read them while you are commuting from place to place in order to save time.
A mini netbook is also great for viewing movies and watching videos while on the move. Standing in line for a bus or riding long distances on the subway can be really boring, which is why if you have a mini netbook with you, you can pass your time productively. You can catch up with a friend via video chat, watch a movie, laugh at a funny video or even research an important project. The things you can do with a netbook are limitless. As long as you have a good Internet connection, you will never get bored. For people who cannot afford unlimited Internet, you need not worry. There are plenty of apps and games on the netbook that you can use without the Internet as well. Make use of all these features to get the best experience out of your inexpensive, highly functional, user friendlymini netbook.

Falling QuicklyMature
Jasper made an effort, after "the Incident" in the baths, to make more contact with Layla. He made a decision to join her, and Zane, at meals. He didnt feel inclined to speak, and didnt try to make conversation with the bonehead. It was only after Zane left and the silence grew too noticeable to ignore, that he made the effort. His thoughts buzzed around his head crazily in Layla's presence, and he thought each sentence through very carefully before he said anything. He wanted to ask her about the ring, about why she was still wearing it, but, it seemed too risky to bring up, so he tried the previous subject first.
"Are you going to the sparring?" His voice came out a little forced, he felt.
"I might do." Layla replied quietly. "Will you?"
"I might do." He replied, he flashed a grin. "You're still wearing the ring?" The question came out with less effort than he thought it would.
She nodded and looked down at it; she had meant to ask Erik about it but had decided not to in front of people. She would find him after the duel.
"I'll give it back if I find out whose it is." She whispered. She looked down at it, and Jasper followed her gaze. He did not like the idea of it's absence on her finger. He looked back up at Layla, met her eyes for a few seconds, before standing up.
"I'll see you at the sparring." He walked off at a quick pace, heading back to his tunnel watch until the event began.
Jasper was late to the sparring. He slipped in the back and stood near the archway, watching Zane and Erik hack away from each other. They were well matched, and over the clash of steel on steel, they shouted encouragement to each other. When Ceri called for a stop Jasper noticed Laya standing just on the other side of the arch. As he noticed her, she approached.
"Jasper?"He came closer to hear her better. "About... well..."
"You don't have to talk about it." He interrupted hurriedly, he did not want to discuss "the Incident" Especially when Zane, Erik, and worse, Ceri, would be around to potentially hear something. And it was pretty obvious what he saw of her back, her scars, was not something to be discussed.
"No... not about that... the pools. Do you go at a certain time... I just; I don't want us to have to be awkward with each other again." She looked very awkward right now, but Jasper considered it. He hadnt really thought about it being an issue yet, only about people finding out.
"I just go when everyone is asleep." He said after thinking about it. "In the future we could leave something outside when we're washing, so the other knows?"
Layla nodded, obviously relieved at this simple solution. Jasper thought nothing of it personally. He did not want a repeat of that embarrassment.
"That is a good idea." She said, her eyes beginning to scan the crowd. "Excuse me." She hurried away, catching up to Erik as Jasper was left behind. The crowd was cleared, leaving only Jasper near the entrance, and Zane, still standing in the arena, breathing hard from his battle.
Jasper turned to face Zane, fingering the hilt of his little knife as he turned.
"What did Ceri have to say?" He said, barely containing his hostility.
"None of your business." Zane said, adjusting the grip on his sword defensively.
"Do you think you can take me with that monster?" Jasper challenged, a malicious grin twisting his features.
"You think you'd be able to survive with that toothpick of yours?" Zane spat back.
"Try me." Jasper climbed into the arena, unsheathing the knife and brandishing it. Zane, goaded into action, lifted his sword in a ferocious downward arc. But he was tired from the previous battle and Jasper sidestepped the blow easily.
Zane tried ever combination of sword swings to break through Jasper's guard, but Jasper either stepped out of the way or deflected the blade with his knife to graze harmlessly past clothing or along the soft powder of the arena floor. Oddly, Jasper never landed a blow himself.
Zane tried a lunge next, giving it as much power as he could, but Jasper, not fighting with a sword and sheild like Erik or the training dummies, simply deflected the blade and Zane, carried by the force of the lunge, staggered forward, nearly into the railing, but Jasper caught him by the collar, saving him from the fall, before sliding the knife along Zane's collar, tearing the fabric easily, but the tip did not touch the skin.
"Go get some rest. Looks like you need it." Jasper said. He didnt realize it, but he was breathing heavily himself. Zane's attacks had been ferocious. Zane nodded and staggered to his feet.
"Rematch. Tomorrow," he said. "You had an unfair advantage this time."
"If you say so." Jasper said, controlling his breathing so Zane wouldnt know how tired he was. Zane left to clean up before dinner, and get his shirt mended. Jasper sat down right where he was and let himself drop his guard for the first time in months.

US Dollar awaits the next week's Fed
The past week has become very successful for the US currency with the US dollar index breaking above 100 points for the first time since 2003. Demand for the greenback was pushed up by the increased expectations of the Fed's rate hike in mid-2015.
On the new week the US economic calendar is full of important releases, but the most important event is the Fed's policy meeting on March 17-18. There is a high chance that the Fed excludes its pledge to stay "patient" in monetary policy from its forward guidance. If it happens, FOMC will theoretically open the way for a rate hike in June. The US dollar will stay in demand ahead of the meeting.
The US labor market data supports the hawkish expectations, but price growth remains weak. US consumer prices have never reached the Fed's target of 2% over the past 3 years, while in 2015 monthly CPI turned negative. We'll see how the Fed appraises the current economic conditions: it will also release renewed projections on Wednesday.

Gov. Daniels to be named Purdue's next president
The Indianapolis Star and WISH-TV have both confirmed via anonymous sources that Gov. Daniels will be named the University's next president.
Gov. Daniels's press secretary Jane Jankowski said in an e-mail the Governor's office has no comment. Spokespeople for Purdue University and Purdue University Board of Trustees were not immediately available for comment Tuesday afternoon.
Gov. Daniels's current term will end in January 2013. Current Purdue president France Córdova announced in July 2011 that she would step down when her contract ends this current month, according to WISH-TV.
John Ketzenberger, president of the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute, laid out advantages for both Purdue and Gov. Daniels if he is named as the University's next President.
"He would be able to leverage fundraising like no other person that I could think of in Indiana," Ketzenberger said. "That's increasingly important as the legislature has reduced funding for higher education in the last five years, some of it ironically under Governor Daniels's request."
Ketzenberger also pointed out a trend of hiring private sector executives to fill higher education administrative spots. If Daniels were selected, he said, he will bring a corporate mindset to higher education administration, which has historically valued a background in academia.
"I think it'll be interesting to see how someone from politics and the private sector approaches higher education," Ketzenberger said.

FHLBs Said to Suspend Admissions of Insurers Used by REITsJody Shenn
The Federal Home Loan Banks jointly agreed to a three-month moratorium on admitting captive insurers, which are being used by mortgage investors to access the government-chartered system, according to three people with knowledge of the step.
The 12 FHLBs offered the move voluntarily in a letter to their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which has voiced concern that the trend is adding risk to the system, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks are private. Captive insurers largely serve the needs of their parents.
Lightly regulated investment firms and lenders that lack customer deposits, known as shadow banks, are flocking to FHLBs for dependable funding that often offers better terms than traditional banks or debt markets. The new memberships are drawing scrutiny from the FHFA because they may affect the safety of a system that operates with $786 billion of debt seen by investors and credit raters as being backed by taxpayers.
The freeze may slow a boom in admissions after Redwood Trust Inc. last week said its captive insurer obtained membership in the Chicago FHLB. Redwood became the fourth real-estate investment trust focused on mortgage investments to join the network of regional lending cooperatives since October.
Annaly Joins
Annaly Capital Management Inc., Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. and Two Harbors Investment Corp. also have insurance units that have become members.
Angie Richards, a spokeswoman for the Des Moines FHLB, and Jeff Sanders, a spokesman for the Home Loan Bank in Indianapolis, declined to comment. Melissa Warden, a spokeswoman for the Chicago FHLB, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. The three FHLBs are the ones that have admitted units of REITs.
Peter E. Garuccio, an FHFA spokesman, declined to immediately comment on the moratorium. He said last week in an e-mail that the overseer plans "to address the issue of captives."
The FHLB system was set up in 1932 after a string of bank failures caused by runs on deposits, and has accepted insurers since its start. Members buy stock in the institutions and get access to low-cost, wholesale funding in return for pledging collateral such as mortgages.
While mortgage REITs' insurance units are overseen by state regulators, the financial health of their parent companies aren't the responsibility of any U.S. agencies.
Illicit Perception
"Captive insurance borrowing and membership in the FHLBank system raises a number of possible issues related to safety and soundness and access to the system," FHFA head Melvin Watt said in a speech at a conference for FHLB directors in May. "You will certainly be hearing more about this as we move forward."
Mortgage REITs' use of captive insurers to gain membership may create "a perception of something illicit going on," Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Michael Widner wrote in a June 16 report.
In reality, "we do not see material risk, believe there are more than adequate checks and balances in place" and view the REITs as contributing to the system's public policy objectives, Widner said. "Nevertheless, the political nature of the issue adds uncertainty to how it will develop."

Less than a month ago, many believed the Canadian rapper and Barbadian singer were close to marriage. However, it now seems the wedding is off, as a young model could be the cause of the Drake Rihanna split.
Their exchange at the MTV VMA 2016 raised everyone's hope that finally Drake and Rihanna would be a couple. Sources reportedly close to the couple even revealed they were close to marriage. This is because of the rapper's eagerness to take their relationship to the next level.
As it turns out, the singer also shares the same sentiment as the rapper. However, everyone's excitement for their forever would seem premature as the Drake Rihanna split looks forthcoming. It would seem Drake's reputation as a ladies' man has once again revealed itself.
Sources now reveal the rapper could have his eyes set on Dakota Gonzalez. Thus, who is the young lady who supposedly caught his fancy?

1. Dakota is a 21-year-old Instagram model. She has a twin who is equally stunning as she is.
2. She is also athletic. Dakota played for the University of Kansas.
3. Dakota has a social media following of about 950,000 followers.
4. Dakota and Drake met in November 2015. They were first seen at a Lady Rebels' game. Hence, they both enjoy basketball.
5. Dakota and Drake both attended a party in Las Vegas last September 11. This surprised many who were hopeful his romance with Rihanna would go all the way. The Barbadian singer reportedly was not happy when she found out.
"When Rihanna found out about Dakota, they had a blowout fight. She immediately told Drake that it's over. When Rihanna isn't at Drake's concerts, Dakota is often there by his side," HollywoodLife cited a source of Life & Style Weekly.
Thus, would this confirm the Drake Rihanna split is true?

When we first started using SpiceWorks, I loaded it on a test machine. Now that we've decided that we want to use SpiceWorks permanently, I want to move it to a more production server. The thing is, when I move it, the indexes pointing to the database doesn't carry over and when we go to do a search on a user, nothing comes up. Is there a step-by-step instruction that tells you how to move SpiceWorks from one server to another and keeping all the settings and data in tact?

As a test of the backups in 3.0 I did a manual backup of Spiceworks. Installed it on another machine which was totally different and then restored from the backup.
All worked well for me. Might be worth a try.

Here is the official walkthrough.

Hey Devon
This help article will show you up to move Spiceworks to another server

The Guardian's David Shariatmadari looks at the history of the word and discusses whether a term so fraught with connotations can still serve a valuable purpose. Transcript BOB: Last month, BBC Arabic service head Tarik Kafala spurred a semantical controversy when he announced that the BBC should not refer to those individuals who attacked Charlie Hebdo as "terrorists." Such a choice, critics said, was "outrageous" and "gives succor to terrorists." Conservative MP Conor Burns classified the whole affair as, quote, "yet another example of Orwellian, '1984' use of language by the BBC which serves to mask rather than illuminate." -- though in fact the BBC does use the word terrorism. David Shariatmadari is a deputy opinion editor for the Guardian and author of its "Buzzwords" language blog. He witnessed the outrage incited by the BBC's Kafala and set out to explore the unique history and nature of a fearful word. David, welcome to the show. DAVID SHARIATMADARI: Thank you for having me, Bob. BOB: One of the odd things about terrorism is it is effective only if people are outraged. In a sense it's a crime of violence, but it's also a kind of mass communication. SHARIATMADARI: Yeah. Possibly the distinctive feature of modern terrorism, it is a form of message sending. In the research for this piece I was reading an article by David Fromkin from 1975 at the peak of the kind of new terrorism which was occurring which targeted civilians. He says, "all too little understood, the uniqueness of the strategy lies in this: that it achieves its goal not through its acts, but through the response to its acts." BOB: So we're pretty clear, in general terms, about what terrorism is, at least in the early part of the 21st century, and yet it is so fraught that the head of the BBC Arabic service thinks it's best to let the listeners and viewers decide for themselves and for its reporters to use simply descriptive language. Why? SHARIATMADARI: I mean the BBC are quite clear that words exist already in the vocabulary to describe these kinds of events, whether they be bombings or attacks or whatever, and I think the BBC guidelines describe the word terrorist as a characterization and they don't want to be in the business of characterization, they want to be in the business of description. The word risks becoming a bit of a participant in the cycle of fear and reaction. There's a risk that the word gets used for something beyond that mere factual description. BOB: Well, clearly it has a history of being abused. The Nazis used it to describe underground groups, partisans and so forth, that attacked Nazi soldiers. And to this day, we see illegitimate states and others using it to describe mere political protesters, so clearly it's abused...but if others are abusing the word terrorism, should the press be intimidated into abandoning a word which means just exactly what it means? SHARIATMADARI: No, I don't think so. And actually at the Guardian we have a manual of style which doesn't forbid the use of the word "terrorism" but it advises caution and it asks that we use the word judiciously. I think the BBC has made its own decision. I can understand it, but I wouldn't necessarily throw the word "terrorist" out of the lexicon. We just have to be careful with it. BOB; Now I'm hinging this whole line of questioning on the notion that we all perfectly well understand what terrorism is, and that as long as the press uses it properly and does not allow itself to be manipulated by politicians and others, that it should not be taken from our lexicon. On the other hand, terror hasn't always meant what we understand it to be now. Its roots go back to the original state terrorism, do they not? SHARIATMADARI: The word terrorist and terrorism entered the English language at the end of the 18th century at the time of the French Revolution. And it was used to describe the activities of the revolutionary government. The Committee for Public Safety, as it styled itself, which had taken charge in France and conducted essentially a political purge against its enemies. That period became known as the Reign of Terror, and because that climate of fear was attended to by all the other nations in Europe because it was such a tumultuous event, the word entered various different languages: it entered Spanish, Italian, and English. But initially it was used to describe a revolutionary government's activities against its people and against its political enemies. BOB: And now it's almost entirely flip-flopped: it's used to describe the kind of asymmetrical warfare where people who can't take on a government can nonetheless get the attention of the world by committing various kinds of atrocities and outrages in the way that we've seen ISIS been doing for the last year or so. Since terrorism isn't complete until the reaction to it has taken place, particularly in the press, I'm just curious, if the press actually pulls back on its use of "terrorism" for fear of getting caught up in politics, do the terrorists win or do the terrorists lose? SHARIATMADARI: If news organizations were going to be more judicious in their use of the word, I wouldn't see that as the terrorists winning against the media organizations. I think it would be at least partly the media organizations deciding not to participate in a cycle of fear. BOB: David, thank you so much. SHARIATMADARI: Thank you, Bob, for having me. BOB: David Shariatmadari is deputy opinion editor on the Guardian's UK Comment desk, and author of the Buzzword series.

The Food Lab: Make Crisp, Juicy CarnitasŌĆöWithout a Bucket of Lard
Gammy Dodger stashed this in Things that should get eaten
Carnitas. The undisputed king of the taco cart. The Mexican answer to American pulled pork, at their best they should be moist, juicy, and ultra-porky with the rich, tender texture of a French confit, and riddled with plenty of well-browned crisp edges. The most famous version of the dish comes from Michoac├Īn, in central Mexico. Delicately flavored with a hint of orange, onion, and occasionally some warm herbs or spices like cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, or oregano, all it needs is a squeeze of lime, some chopped onion and cilantro, and simple hot salsa to form a snack of unrivaled deliciousness.
There are pretty much two things that happen when you cook a fatty, connective tissue-laden cut of meat like a pork shoulder in low temperature fat (which I define as under 250┬░F):
- Connective tissue breaks down. Beginning at around 176┬░F*, the proteins that make up the connective tissue (mostly collagen) will slowly break down and convert to gelatin. Unlike collagen, which forms tough, fibrous strands, gelatin will not coagulate at serving temperature, instead acting to thicken liquids, allowing them to lubricate muscle fibers, and giving food a luscious mouthfeel. But the breakdown process takes time. At 176┬░, it can take upwards of 8 to 12 hours, whereas at 200┬░ or so, this time can be reduced to closer to 2 hours.
- Muscle proteins contract, expelling moisture. Muscle fibers begin to contract at around 120┬░, squeezing liquid out of their ends. They contract tighter and tighter as the temperature gets higher, until eventually the liquid is almost completely expelled. Unlike collagen breakdownŌĆöwhich is time dependentŌĆöthe amount of liquid expelled from muscle fibers is related pretty much only to the temperature they are heated to.
Rather than have my pork pieces swimming in a lot of fat, why not just cook them in a much small container, fitting them together tightly enough that they'll cook in their own fat as it renders out? As long as I'm careful with the temperature, it should have enough fat in it naturally to cook plenty slow, right?
I seasoned up another batch of pork and rather than placing it in a Dutch oven on the stove top to heat, I placed it directly in a casserole dishŌĆöthe smallest one I could find that I could squeeze the pork into and added just enough oil to cover the top surface and prevent it from drying outŌĆöabout a quarter cup. After tightly covering it with foil, I placed it directly into a 275┬░ oven to slowly heat up. It reached 208┬░ after about an hour, and held there until I pulled it out two hours later (a total of three hours).
Stashed in: Yum, Recipes!, Spicy foods
Gammy, thanks for this. Pretty amazing attention to detail.
This seems much more delicious than lard versions.┬Ā
Credit where credit is due... @Troutgirl found it first. :) Nevertheless, that's test kitchen cooking, happy to capitalize on the learnings

Rating: PG
Genre: drama, angst (more of the first)
Disclaimer: I don't own Sam, Dean, or anything related to Supernatural (if only) – Kripke and others do.
Spoilers: through "All Hell Breaks Loose, part 2"
Summary: Ficlet, 1800 words. Coda to "All Hell Breaks Loose, part 2." Sam found out about his brother's deal 3 hours ago, and now he can't sleep as numbers take on a whole new meaning for him.
AN: I came up with one idea for a post-AHBLp2 story last night, and then I realized something important and came up with an even better one, and that's what this is – a short coda to "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2." This is just how I think Sam might deal with what he found out at the end of the episode. On a side note, this is probably the least angsty story I have ever written, especially considering the subject matter, so it's kind of a milestone for me; there's actually more mushy stuff in here than there is angst. Yay me:P
"When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books. You will be reading meanings."
- W.E.B. DuBois
Sam had it all figured out. He had always been good with numbers.
1 year. Dean had 1 year left. 525,600 minutes. 8,760 hours. 365 days. 12 months. 1 year. The numbers just got smaller and smaller, and no matter how Sam looked at it, it was still just 1 year.
Only it wasn't really 1 year anymore, was it? Dean had brought him back last night. That meant that 1 day was gone. 1 precious day gone and Sam hadn't even known about it. 524,160 minutes. 8,736 hours. 364 days. 1 year minus 1 day. That was what Sam had left to save his brother…what Dean had left.
It didn't seem like enough.
Sam tried to sleep, but the number 364 kept repeating itself over and over in his head, until Sam couldn't think of anything else except that number; until Sam almost wished the next night would come so that he could think of something else.
But that wouldn't solve a damn thing. Tomorrow night Sam would just be plagued with the number 363, and it was 1 day less that what he was plagued with now.
He would take 364 over 363 any day, thank you very much.
He would take 364 every day if he could.
Sam sighed, trying not to think about what lay ahead of them in the coming year. What frustrations would plague them every day, and what nightmares each new night would bring. He could picture the year in his head like one of those day-to-day calendars in the cartoons, the pages falling off in a quick, constant stream, tearing themselves off faster and faster as the end approached, until the final, dreaded day arrived, big and bold and circled in blood red permanent marker.
He had never fully appreciated those calendar effects until now.
Sam turned on his side to face Dean, trying to focus on anything but the number burned into his retina. He watched his brother's back rise and fall gently in sleep, and he tried hard not to imagine him 1 year from now, his body shredded and bloody, his soul burning forever in Hell.
Sam felt tears spring into his eyes, and he turned away, unable to look at Dean. He stared at the ceiling and tried to count sheep before he realized that counting sheep would not help because no matter how many sheep jumped over that stupid fence there would still be 364, 364, always 364.
Sam turned and faced the opposite wall and decided to try counting the polka dots on the retro style wallpaper, and he almost punched his fist through it in frustration when he realized that he wouldn't be able to count any number other than 364.
Finally, Sam buried his face in his pillow, closing his eyes tightly, until all he could see was darkness. But even there the number taunted him. It was burned into his brain, and he couldn't see or think of anything else.
Sam always counted things when he couldn't fall asleep. He counted tiles in the ceiling, flowers on the wallpaper, weird stains on the bedspread. Sam almost laughed at how ironic it was that the one thing which usually helped him go to sleep was now the thing keeping him from doing it.
Sam felt the tears welling up again, and he fought back, not wanting to wake Dean for something as stupid as not being able to sleep.
But of course there was far more to it than that, and Sam knew it. He was tired, exhausted, and sure he wanted so badly to just sleep, but how could he sleep when there were only 364 days left?
364 days left to pull pranks on Dean, to call him names, to give him his bitch face or his puppy dog eyes.
364 days to watch crappy movies with Dean, to sleep safely in the same room with him, to watch him stuff his face like the human garbage disposal he was.
364 days to ride next to Dean in the car, to argue with him about his choice of music, to fall asleep while he sang Metallica off-key.
364 days to fight beside Dean, to watch his back…to know that his brother needed him just as much as Sam needed his brother.
364 days left to save Dean.
364 days left to-
Suddenly, a thought hit Sam hard, and he bolted up in bed, eyes open wide, a small smile on his face as he did the math. He thought he was right, but he just needed to be sure.
He got out of bed quickly and quietly, grabbed his laptop out of his bag, and brought it back to the bed. He tapped his fingers impatiently, waiting for it to load. Finally, his desktop loaded and he quickly pulled up the calendar.
He changed the month to February.
He changed the year to 2008.
He smiled.
A leap year.
Next February had 29 days.
Sam continued to smile in the dark of the room as he closed down the laptop.
One year. One leap year. 366 days. Which meant he still had 365 days left to save Dean.
He wasn't entirely sure if the demon would see it that way. He didn't think that human measurements of time would really have an impact on a demonic deal. But Sam didn't care. It was something to hope for, something to grasp at, a different number that was one number higher than 364.
It was one extra day. One extra day to find answers, to find a way to save his brother.
Sam crawled under the covers and ignored the niggling thought that he should know that the demon wouldn't care about the extra day. He ignored Dean's voice in his head – the voice he always heard when he knew he was merely holding on to false hope – telling him that trivial things like the Gregorian calendar system didn't matter to demons. He ignored the fact that he should know the demon would not count that day as part of Dean's last year. He ignored all the voices in his head, focusing instead on that extra 1440 minutes. That extra 24 hours. That extra day.
Sam held onto that day like a lifeline, and as he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't stop himself from thinking, 365 days left. Not 364. 365.
He didn't need to count sheep or polka dots or weird stains on his pillow. He knew that the number, at least for right now, would add up to 365.
And it was enough.
February 29th, 2008
Sam leaned over the railing slightly, gazing down into the massive depths of the Grand Canyon. He looked over toward Dean and smiled at the look of awe on his brother's face as he gazed down with him. Dean looked like he was 5 years old again, discovering the world for the very first time.
When Sam had found out about a haunting in Phoenix, Arizona, one week before February 29th, he had insisted they check it out. Dean had been a bit surprised. Sam was usually the one to argue that they didn't have time for hunting; that they had to spend what little time they had researching a way to save him. But Dean had been too surprised to argue. When they had disposed of the ghost on the 27th, Sam had insisted they stick around for awhile and relax before moving on, and Dean hadn't questioned him then, either.
But that morning, when Sam had given Dean the puppy dog eyes and practically begged him for the keys, he knew Dean suspected something. It wasn't until they were about 100 miles away, when the numbers on the giant signs for THE GRAND CANYON got noticeably smaller and smaller, that Dean had called him out. Sam hadn't known what kind of reaction to expect, but when Dean had congratulated him on being able to keep the secret for so long, Sam had looked over to find his brother staring out the window, a goofy grin on his face, his eyes lit up childish delight, and Sam had smiled to himself, thinking that there was no better way to spend Dean's extra day.
Sam laughed softly as he looked over at Dean now, gazing down into the canyon with his mouth gaping open, and Dean turned to look at him.
"What?" he asked, his eyes still holding the twinkle they had adopted as soon as he had realized where Sam was taking him.
Sam just smiled at his brother and shook his head. "Close your mouth, man, or you'll let the flies in," he replied.
Dean shook his head, reaching over and rubbing his hand through Sam's hair quickly, messing it up, just like he used to do when they were younger.
"Bitch," Dean replied, a genuine laugh escaping him as his gaze drifted off across the wide expanse of the canyon.
Sam called his brother "jerk" in return, then followed Dean's eyes across the gulf, his mind drifting off as he began to wonder at how it had taken 6 million years for the Colorado River to carve out the canyon before them.
Thousands of generations of people had lived and died, and yet the canyon still continued to grow.
Suddenly, Sam was pulled from his thoughts by a light thump on his shoulder. He turned to look at Dean, but his brother had already removed his arm and was looking away from him at the far off horizon and, Sam thought, the unknown future that lay ahead of them.
"Thanks, Sammy," he said, continuing to stare off into the distance.
Sam just smiled at his brother.
"You're welcome."
Sam had fallen asleep the same way every night since he'd found out about Dean's deal: with a number repeating itself over and over in his mind. Every night he found himself counting down the days, realizing that every time he went to sleep, one more day was lost.
As February 29th came to a close, instead of counting down one number, Sam counted the same number he had counted the night before. And instead of falling asleep with that number burned into his mind's eye, he fell asleep to the image of his brother gazing out over the Grand Canyon, smiling widely, eyes twinkling in childish delight.
And for the first time since Dean had sold his soul for him, Sam fell into a dreamless, numberless sleep.

text: There was a lot to worry about at the Salt Lake City Supercross, the penultimate round of the Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Championship, with San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart and Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Chad Reed only three points apart, the weather uncertain, and only one round to follow the event before the championship comes to an end. Although second practice was canceled due to weather, the first practice was a sort of bizarre mix of dry, dusty dirt and mud puddles, as the track was under plastic until just before practice. By the heat races, though, the track was a little sloppy, but overall in good condition. Reed and Stewart won their heat races, and both had some sort of problems. While Reed's problem was never identified, he barely won his race over Honda Red Bull Racing's Davi Millsaps, who fell earlier in the race and had to pass teammate Andrew Short on his way back up to Reed's rear fender. In Stewart's heat, he got his shift lever jammed up and stuck in third gear. Although he still won his heat, his team was forced to replace the engine before the main event. The owner of last week's fastest main-event laptime, Mike Alessi, missed the main in Salt Lake City. Reed got the holeshot in the main event, and although Stewart didn't start out near the front, somehow he squeaked immediately up into second with Millsaps third, Short fourth, Matt Boni fifth, Yamaha's Broc Hepler sixth, and the rest of the field. With what happened in Jacksonville, everyone stood in anticipation of what might happen between the two riders inside Rice-Eccles Stadium. Just before the halfway point, Stewart made a pass stick on Reed as the two headed down the start straightaway, but Reed countered in a right-hand 180 following, pushing Stewart wide enough that he ended up in the Tuff Blox, and Reed took the lead back. However, only three or four laps later, Stewart had caught back up and made the pass stick a second time – this time for good. As the two raced out front, some more drama ensued when they lapped Stewart's teammate Kyle Chisholm. According to eyewitnesses, Chisholm obeyed the blue flags and moved over for Stewart and Reed, but a couple of turns later made a run back at Reed. The two hit, and Reed lost just enough time to lose contact with Stewart, never to gain it back. Chisholm was black-flagged and was eventually removed from the race track and disqualified from the race. The ruling as of the typing of this story is that Chisholm isn't just DQ'd from the Salt Lake City round, but suspended for next weekend's race in Las Vegas. Stewart won the main event, though, and pulled out to a six-point lead over Reed in Vegas. In other words, Reed needs to win in Vegas and have Stewart finish fourth or worse to win the title. Millsaps finished where he started – in third – followed by last rounds winner Ryan Villopoto, Short, and Toyota/JGR Yamaha's Josh Grant, who passed GEICO Powersports Honda's Kevin Windham on the last lap of the main for the spot. 450cc Main: 1. James Stewart (Yam) 2. Chad Reed (Suz) 3. Davi Millsaps (Hon) 4. Ryan Villopoto (Kaw) 5. Andrew Short (Hon) 6. Josh Grant (Yam) 7. Kevin Windham (Hon) 8. Matt Boni (Hon) 9. Tommy Hahn (Kaw) 10.

Tyler Bowers (Hon) 19. Kyle Partridge (Hon) 20. Kyle Chisholm (Yam) Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Championship Points (after 16 of 17 rounds): 1. James Stewart (357/11 wins) 2.

Josh Hill (146) LITES With Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey out in front of the Lites West by nine points over Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Jake Weimer, Dungey needed to finish fifth or better in the main event to clinch the title, if Weimer won the race. Troy Lee Designs Honda's Jake Moss grabbed the main-event holeshot while Dungey quickly settled into second with Moss' teammate Chris Blose, Canidae/Motosport Kawasaki's PJ Larsen, Weimer's teammate Ryan Morais, GEICO Powersports Honda's Trey Canard and the rest of the field. Weimer finished lap one in ninth, although he was further back earlier in the lap. Moss led the first seven laps before he fell over in a turn, handing the lead to Dungey. It wasn't soon after that when Canard joined him in the battle for the lead, passing Dungey on lap 12 of 15. That battle allowed Weimer to catch them, and he only took a lap to get around Dungey for second before setting out after Canard. On the last lap, Weimer nearly passed Canard a couple of times, but actually thought he had one more lap when he got the checkered flag. Canard won the main, followed by Weimer, Morais (who passed Dungey for third with two to go), Dungey fourth and MDK/Mucle Milk KTM's Justin Brayton. Fourth place was good enough to secure Dungey his first professional championship. Lites Main: 1. Trey Canard (Hon) 2. Jake Weimer (Kaw) 3. Ryan Morais (Kaw) 4. Ryan Dungey (Suz) 5. Justin Brayton (KTM) 6. Chris Blose (Hon) 7. Jake Moss (Hon) 8. Kyle Cunningham (Kaw) 9. Michael Hall (Yam) 10. Ben Evans (Hon) 11. Sean Borkenhagen (Hon) 12. Mike Sleeter (KTM) 13.

A Sign From The UniverseMature
8:15 am, Wednesday
I woke up still feeling tired as ever. We arrived home past midnight last night. I remember, Jeff woke me up shaking my arms and brushing my hair with his fingers. I was at shock for a moment, suddenly forgot why I was there, sleeping next to him at his bed and hugging his pillow. I could see Aunt Manna standing by the door calling my name, saying that we were already leaving. I looked at Jeff's eyes, which were a little red, probably because he felt uncomfortable sleeping beside me. I smiled at him, said thank you, and waved goodbye.
And here I was, laying on my bed, wearing the same clothes that I was wearing last night. My mouth was really dry and my face was oily. I probably didn't wash first before I collapsed on my bed. I went straight towards the kitchen when I saw my mom walking up the stairs.
"Hey sweetie. Finally! You're up. Breakfast is at the table." I just smiled.
I saw a pile of pancakes calling my name on top of the kitchen island which made my tummy rumble. I poured over some maple syrup and tossed in a couple pieces of bananas and strawberries, then topped it with whipped cream. I ate my scrumptious breakfast while thinking about what i'll do today. In fact, I had nothing to do today. Suddenly, I heard murmurs coming from the other room.
"---- I dunno, it's getting worse." My dad's voice. "They just keep increasing and increasing the debt."
"Why?! I thought they already gave them a grace period?" My mom's voice. She sounded a little mad and a little worried.
"Psh. Yeah right, the truth is no matter what they'll keep increasing the interest. The last thing I want to happen is for them to file a case in court, 'cause for sure we'll lose and Joe will lose everything."
"....oh. Well, then what are we going to do? I'm sure we can just lend them some money, right? To pay off the interest?"
"I guess we can. Is it okay for you?" The voices were a little louder now. It seems like they were walking towards the kitchen.
"Well, it's a lot. And I you guys have known each other long enough. And besides, I don't want this to happen to them. We've been in this situation before, and it was terrible."
"I know sweetie, just make sure that you won't tell any----", I finally saw them enter the kitchen. Dad looked a little shocked when he saw me there. "Oh, hey Leena..." I think he knows that i've been listening to their conversation.
"Hi dad. What's going on?"
"I know you've been listening young lady." I told you. "But make sure you will not tell anyone. Not even Jeff, Cris, and Marion. Understand?"
I nodded looking very frightened. "Is it that bad? I thought we already met some people?"
"Yes, but not enough. Again, do not tell any of their kids." Dad grabbed his suitcase, kissed mom on the cheek, and went straight outside to get to work. Mom looked at me with her 'listen-to-your-father' look.
"Hey, I have to go to. I've got to do some errands. You wanna come?"
"Nah. I'll just watch some movies today. Relax."
"Okay, well just microwave something for lunch. Be back later in the afternoon."
And there I was, all alone at the house. I couldn't stop thinking about what dad said. Another deep secret that I couldn't tell anyone! I hate this! I just need someone to talk about all of these things going on right now. I hate secrets. And even more, I felt sad for Uncle Joe and his family. I couldn't imagine seeing Jeff at the gym and every night that we would be together without feeling sad for him. Plus, he'd be going to college in a year, what if they couldn't afford it? Same with his sister? Uhhhh. I need to talk to someone. Just to get this out of my head. And of course, I texted my best friend in the whole wide world.
Me: Thealalala! You busy? Hang out at my place I have the house to myself.
After a minute she replied. She always had her phone in her hands.
Thea: COMIIIING! Movies? Popcorn? Ice cream?
Me: Got the ice cream. Bring popcorn. HURRYYYYYYY!
I immediately went inside the bathroom to take a shower and change the clothes that I've been wearing since last night. And as I finished dressing up into my pajamas the doorbell rang.
"All riiiiiight! Let's party babe!", Thea shouted looking lively as ever. She was holding about 3 packets of popcorn and a bag of Doritos, our favorite.
"Wow, you brought a little extra! Come on! What do you wanna watch?"
"Something funny. Comedy, romantic comedy, blah blah."
I looked through our rack of DVDs. "Uhmmm... White Chicks, Just Go With It, Family Guy, The Simpsons,"
"WHITE CHICKS first!" Good choice! We loved watching that movie.
I placed the CD into the played and pressed play. And little by little, we were emptying the bag of popcorn, Doritos, and ice cream. This was how we relaxed. When we weren't in the mood to bake, we just did this.
"So, you've been hanging out with Jeff for quite a while now, huh?"
Her questioned stopped me from smothering my mouth with popcorn. "Wohtth?" I said, talking while my mouth was full.
"Come on don't keep it from me. Jeff is at out house right now, looking for colleges to apply to with my brother. And wow, they're looking at pretty good universities."
"Oh, really now? Yeah. Our dads are hanging out a lot now."
"So what do you guys talk about?" I can clearly feel that Thea was suspecting something. I knew her for a very long time now, and I know so much about her now.
"Okaaay. What the hell are you thinking right now?"
"Yiiiee! I love it! You two look good together", she said while winking.
"Stop it, okay! Geez, I don't to feel awkward when I see him okay. So shut up!" I shouted and threw popcorn at her.
"HEY----", she shouted too while picking up the popcorn and shoving it in her mouth. "But come on, he looks good right?"
"Dude, whatever. You want me to start talking about you and Zander?!"
"Shoot. Zander and I have been chatting and texting ALL night. How 'bout you? What have you been doing last night?"
"I was at....his house." Thea stopped eating and gave me a really shocked look.
"I KNEW IT! Well, I didn't think that you were there last night, but. I knew there was something going on with you two! Especially the time when he dragged you out of the resto against your will to drive you home."
"Noooo. I was there with my parents too, you know. They had to talk about something."
"Well, what did you do there?"
"We just hung out in his room. Watched TV, that was it! ..... Well, then I kind of dozed off on his bed."
"You guys slept beside each other?!"
"NO! I was the only one sleeping, when he woke me up he was still sitting beside me watching TV. That's it!"
"Aww that's sweet! Do you think he has a girlfriend?"
"SERIOUSLY Thea? Well, I don't think so. I don't know he didn't tell me anything."
"Yiieeee! I'd love it if you guys got together!"
"Are you crazy?! We're just 15!"
"I'm 15. You're turning 16 next month, if you must know. And besides Leena, you look great together. I don't know about you but, every time we see you talk with one another, there's just something there. There's something! By the way, where's your phone?"
I grabbed my phone inside my right pocket and gave it to her.
She fiddled with my phone for a while and I continued watching the movie. "There, friend request sent!"
My heart stopped. "WHAT?!" I grabbed my phone from her immediately to look at what she has done. And after a few seconds, I saw a notification.
Friend Request Accepted
"OOH! He immediately accepted you! That is a sign from the universe!", Thea said raising her hands up in the air.
"No it's not! Why'd you do that?!"
"Because obviously, you were too chicken to do it. And please, I bet you wanted to, you're just shy to make the first move. Look! He's online!"
I grabbed the phone from her hand again and put it back into my pocket. "NO! No more, okay! So humiliating."
"Leena, please. Live a little."
"What if I did the same to you?"
"Too late. I'm not chicken. Already friends with Zander", she raised her phone towards my face to show me. She was friends with him already.
"Hmm, that's ballsy. So what about you and Zander?"
"GLAD YOU ASKED! He is awesome! I didn't know we had a lot in common! Plus, he often hangs out in our house with John."
"So I guess you beat me already. You're over a million points now. Thea that's great!"
"Yiiiee! I know. Hey don't worry, you got yourself a brand new man meat now." She pointed at my phone.
"AGAIN. Don't call him man meat!" That is such a silly word.
We continued watching the movie, laughing at it every now and then like weirdos. But I kept thinking about what Thea said. Before, we were so head over heels about Zander. Like, we would do anything to get to talk to him, and we would think of it as a competition between the two of us, who would get him first. And I was glad that she did. She was so happy about it! And to be honest, my feelings for Zander was... slowly fading. I didn't want to tell Thea, because that would mean that I'd have feelings for 'him' already.
Do you know that feeling when you want to be with a guy, because he's awesome, funny, fun, and he's so nice to you, but you don't want to be with him at the same time because things might just get messed up and stuff. Oh and don't forget that you have a terrifying dad when he sees boys around you. Plus, the fact that you're only 15 right now and you're already thinking about getting even more close to him? I mean, it's just crazy!!! What the hell! I shouldn't even be thinking about these things right now.
Then again, call it as a 'sign from the universe' just like Thea said, my phone vibrated. I unlocked it and saw a chat bubble,
Jeff: Hey :)
My heart stopped. I looked at Thea, who was looking straight at the TV smiling like a weirdo. I looked at the screen again, thinking about what to say. My heart was beating fast now.
Me: Hello :)
I closed the chat and locked my phone again. Smooth. I just didn't want to think about it right now. I just want to have fun with my best friend, even though she was the one who made me feel like this in the first place.

Maryland is committed to increasing access to the latest tools for learning and preparing all of its public school students for in-demand careers. Today we are taking a big step forward in the tools we offer to students statewide. No matter where students attend school or what their economic situation may be, all now have free access at school and at home to Microsoft Office 365, the latest applications for collaborating and creating. In addition, we're also unveiling 25 new IT Academy Programs for schools across the state that will bring industry recognized technology certifications and skills to the students of Maryland.
Lowery (second from left) with students in Maryland
In Maryland, it is our commitment to prepare our world-class students with more rigorous standards, meaningful assessment, and continuous support for educators. At the core, our goal is to prepare our students for college and careers and attract and develop great educators.
Technology is key to supporting our goals for the direction of K-12 education in the state. Technology is no longer a luxury, it's an important set of tools and skills and we want every child to benefit from greater access and training. Our teachers, students and families are collaborating in new and exciting ways, and we see companies such as Microsoft in the private sector as vital partners in education. Software and devices supported by high-speed networks serve as portals to a world of online learning, and interactive content that can strengthen classroom instruction and personalize education to match the students' needs and interests.
Near the end of 2014, we held a statewide conversation about the need to take computer science education to scale and give every student an opportunity to pursue these cutting-edge careers. The Microsoft Office 365 tools and IT Academy programs provide Maryland students with new opportunities to learn marketable skills and acquire an edge as they prepare to compete for careers in a global marketplace. We chose Microsoft tools because their programs enable every student access to the tools for learning, collaboration and creativity in school and also at home.
One area especially important to us, is that every child have access to a world-class education regardless of their economic background or where they live. Digital inclusion is a priority for us, no matter if students live in high-poverty inner city areas or rural communities, we believe they can have the same opportunities to succeed as anyone else if given appropriate support. Initiatives like ConnectED and the Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus Benefit help to level the playing field by putting the tools for learning in the hands of teachers, students and their families to use at school and at home. In today's cutting-edge career and technical education (CTE), the 25 Microsoft IT Academies generously provided to Maryland public schools will help to expand computer science education to all corners of our state. We have some excellent programs in CTE throughout the state, but we are committed to expanding CTE and computer science. We want every student to have the opportunity to graduate high school with in-demand career skills that lead to jobs or postsecondary education. Our students should be prepared to succeed on whichever path they choose.
When President Obama announced the ConnectED initiative to increase connectivity in our schools to transform education and accelerate learning, private-sector companies stepped up by committing to provide the latest technology in our nation's classrooms. I wanted Maryland students to be first in line to receive the benefits of these investments. As a state agency, it's important to us to provide opportunities to all public schools in our state, so rather than making technology updates school by school, we created a ground breaking system that every school across the state can easily tap into so that no school misses the chance to increase learning simply because they did not know about the available opportunities. We also want to remove any barriers and streamline the process for our schools to acquire the technology and training that has been offered.
We are excited to be able to provide Maryland students with high-tech tools statewide and high-level information technology programs in 25 new locations. This is an investment that will pay off in our classrooms, communities and throughout our economy. Job growth is estimated at a rate of 6 percent until 2022 in Maryland, and 22.5 percent of this growth will occur in professional, scientific, and technical services, which includes computer science. Our students need these skills to enter the workforce and to better understand the world in which they live – a world that thrives on technology.

"We [anthropologists] have been the first to insist on a number of things: that the world does not divide into the pious and the superstitious; that there are sculptures in jungles and paintings in deserts; that political order is possible without centralized power and principled justice without codified rules; that the norms of reason were not fixed in Greece, the evolution of morality not consummated in England. Most important, we were the first to insist that we see the lives of others through lenses of our own grinding and that they look back on ours through ones of their own."

"The concept of culture I espouse...is essentially a semiotic one. Believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun, I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretative one in search of meaning."

I've written before about my mom's latest in a long line of animal obsessions: Her pet pig Wuzzle.
When you have a pig that lives in the house, you usually have a litter box for that pig. Wuzzle prefers to hold it and do most of his business outside, but she keeps the litter box inside for Wuzzle just in case he has to go potty while she's not home. Wuzzle usually used the box about once a week. Suddenly, my mom noticed Wuzzle was using the box every day. She actually got a little worried about him. Why was Wuzzle suddenly using the box so frequently? Did he have a bladder infection? Was it pig diabetes? What was happening?
Then one day my mom walked into the "pig's room" and found her dog in the litter box. Peeing. Her Australian shepherd Dusty had been watching the pig use the litter box and decided she wanted to get in on the action too!
The dog has apparently been using the pig litter for a while. All those extra litter box presents were probably from the dog and not the pig!
The dog was really embarrassed to be caught in the act. Really, she should be praised! I mean, that certainly makes some parts of life with a dog easier… but others harder. Who wants to change the litter box of a 50 pound dog?
What I'm confused about is why it took a pig to convince the dog to use a litter box. She's been living in a house with cats her whole life.
By the way, the "pig's room"? It's my childhood bedroom. That's right, my childhood bedroom is where a pig lives now. I feel really special and loved and… piggy.

China Dealer Group Says It's Not Aware of NDRC Probe on Cars
A China Automobile Dealers Association official said he isn't aware of any special investigation into pricing practices in the car industry, contradicting an earlier report that a probe was under way.
"As far as I know, NDRC monitors pricing for various industries as part of its normal responsibilities and there has been no specific anti-monopoly investigation targeting the auto industry," Luo Lei, deputy secretary-general of the industry group, said in a phone interview today, referring to the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economy planning agency.
The dealers association routinely collects data on vehicle pricing and supplied the findings to the NDRC, Luo said.
Reuters reported yesterday, citing Luo, that the NDRC was investigating whether carmakers were setting a minimum retail price for dealers in China and that the dealers association was collecting data for the probe.
SAIC Motor Corp. rose 1.7 percent to 13.9 yuan in Shanghai today, compared with the 0.3 percent drop in the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index.
