For 2013, state's tech sector leaders waiting, watching
With 2013 perched like a nestling on the side of the nation's fiscal cliff, it's hard to know what factors could give the new year its wings - or force it to tumble helplessly into the abyss.
Some national and global trends point toward a bumpy first flight: The inability of Congress and the president to agree on real deficit-cutting and debt-reduction strategies; the hidden costs of health care reform; the double-dip recession in Europe and sluggish job growth in some sectors.
Other trends suggest 2013 could be the year the economy gets a lift. Potential drivers of national economic growth could include soaring domestic oil and gas production, stronger corporate profits, rising exports and a continuation of third-quarter 2012 GDP growth.
Leaders in Wisconsin's tech sector appear cautiously optimistic, but a natural question to ask is: relative to what?
If the comparison is to peers in other states, Wisconsin's tech execs are somewhat more pessimistic than a national sample. They're also significantly more emphatic that unless access to investment capital improves, Wisconsin will fail to live up to its potential as a tech-based economy.
In a survey released in late 2012, a national association for groups such as the Wisconsin Technology Council took the pulse of nearly 1,100 leaders in tech firms in 18 states. Those states ranged from Massachusetts to Oregon, and from Minnesota to Louisiana.
The survey total included more than 90 executives from Wisconsin. Their view of the national economy - as well as the health of their own companies - is instructive as 2013 nears.
By small but consistent margins, the Wisconsin tech execs were less optimistic than the national sample about the outlook for the U.S. economy, the national tech economy and their own companies. For example, 83% of the national sample was upbeat about the six-month forecast for their companies - but that share dropped to 65% in Wisconsin.
Asked what public policy initiatives would spur growth, 72% of the Wisconsin sample replied "do more to expand access to capital for start-up and high-growth companies." That compared with 58% for the national sample.
Asked how well or poorly state governments have represented the interests of the tech sector over the past two years, 71% of the Wisconsin sample replied "just OK," "poorly" or "very poorly." That compared with 65% nationally.
Two questions spoke to the execs' perceptions of Wisconsin as a place to do business. Fifty-one percent said they would "definitely" or "probably" recommend that an entrepreneur start a business here, compared with 63% for the national sample. While 28% of the U.S. sample said their state or region was performing at or above its potential as a tech-based economy, only 12% of Wisconsin execs said the Badger State is hitting on all cylinders.
Wisconsin's survey sample included more life science and health technology executives than other states, which may be one reason for the less-than-cheery outlook. That tech sector has the highest capital needs - and suffered the most during the national venture capital drought.
The Wisconsin attitudes also may reflect impatience over past failures to create a state-leveraged early stage investment fund. Such funds exist in many other states and serve to attract private capital while protecting the interests of taxpayers. A revised plan may be included in Gov. Scott Walker's 2013-'15 state budget, thanks to bipartisan efforts that have included key legislators, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. and its partners.
As the year unfolds, many tech execs will be looking for clues about how policy-makers view the importance of start-up companies. There's lingering doubt about how well President Barack Obama understands the innovation economy.
Two important measures would be White House support for permanent research and development tax credits and support for the nation's major R&D grant programs, which have driven innovation in the past.
The same skepticism may apply to Wisconsin policy-makers, who approved sweeping tax changes for major state companies nearly two years ago but have yet to pass a much smaller investment capital program that could grow tomorrow's companies today.
That's why company leaders in Wisconsin tech sectors are waiting and watching - and hoping that efforts to spur capital growth for emerging companies won't come too late to help. Let's hope 2013 is truly the Year of the Entrepreneur and not another start-up cliff.

Glass Soldier
This was the first 'proper' poem I've ever written. I suppose this piece reflects my experience of secondary school.
You watch, numbly;
As blackened finger grasps for white sky,
And wonder, dimly;
when that horizon will be in your grasp.
Hardened, you pass through grey arteries,
Your echoing step vibrating through the ghosts
Of a thousand strangers.
But even the coolest flame can melt glass.
And suddenly, you jolt from that dull routine,
To find yourself shattered into a million pieces,
Flickering against the resistance you thought you had.
Even as that thought tries to choke you,
Believing the glass soldier is no more,
You remember.
Hot sand, lofty dunes,
Thick blanket on a rainy day,
Sharp pencil on soft paper.
One by one, these memories make a ladder.
Two by two, your feet drag themselves to the next step.
Your ancestor's cheers pound in your ears,
Because inside that broken glass,
Is your core of steel.
Shrugging off the weight on your shoulders,
You grasp that azure sword,
One more time.
Heart pounding,
Hands shaking,
Eyes steady.
You slice through six years of struggles,
To see the mountains on the edge of tomorrow.
And finally, you drop your sword,
Letting your golden laughter,
Ignite your beginning.

We performed infrared (IR) spectroscopic imaging of molecular species in cultured cell interiors of A549 cells using in-house developed vibrational sum-frequency generation detected IR super-resolution microscope. The spatial resolution of this IR microscope was approximately 1.1 µm, which exceeds the diffraction limit of IR light. Therefore, we clearly observed differences in the signal intensity at various IR wavelengths which appear to originate from the differing IR absorptions of specific vibrational modes, and reveal the distribution of molecular species in the single cell. These results were never imaged with the conventional IR microscope.

League of Legends > Counter > Malzahar
Welcome to the Malzahar champion counter pick guide, complete with lane phase counters, general and even items. Below we talk about what makes a champions a malzahar counter. since the malzahar rework not much has changed, his kit still remains fairly the same.
Champion Counter
The best champion counter for malzahar can be both in lane or simply in game. For instance when ulted, tahm kench can consume malzahar's ulted target. this is a big malzahar counter pick, however tahm is not as strong of a support in the current meta. The same could be said for kayle, since she can ult a ally and negate almost all the damage.
Counter Pick
A strong Malzahar counter pick during lane phase, is a champion who can negate damage from his ult. Gangplank is possibly the best choice as a Malzahar Champion Counter, since his (W) can remove malzahar ult. Another great counter pick is galio, just make sure malzahar passive is down before you ult him.
You can counter pick even if you not in the same lane, champion counter can be effective in team fights. Since Rylai's will slow almost every one and malzahar is almost sure to build it. Olaf makes a great malzahar counter, thanks to his (R) Ragnorak. Alistar is really strong against most champions, a excellent choice of a support champion counter.
Building Hex Drinker will also be ideal against him. If you have to play against this champion, you should play gap closing champions that can move quickly. If its a AP versus AP lane setup then the unholy grail or abyssal is a good option.

Hello,stammering is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases. Before treatment the assessment is needed. Some characteristics of stuttered speech are not as easy for listeners to detect. Many of the available treatments focus on learning strategies to minimize stuttering through speed reduction, breathing regulation, and gradual progression from single-syllable responses to longer words, and eventually more complex sentences. Speech therapy centers are there. You can join .

fiscal cliff standstill
Posted in the Minneapolis Forum
#1 Dec 4, 2012
"The fiscal cliff negotiations are at such a standstill that not even aides to president barack obama and house speaker john boehner (R-ohio) talked tuesday. And the way the white house see's it. There won't be further face to face talk's beetween the two leaders until boehner say's he's willing to raise income tax rate's." politico.com
#2 Dec 4, 2012
Obama's council is not doing him any favors but they understand he won't make decisions without them, he's not capable. His power play will end up costing him, big time.
#3 Dec 4, 2012
That's what i'm thinking. I think obama realises this to.

John Boehner said he wants to cut entitlement spending.
Why then doesn't he start with TAX ENTITLEMENTS for the rich?!!
#5 Dec 4, 2012
Because cutting tax entitlements for the rich still wouldn't make up the budget deficit. Middle class tax payers would have to be involved. We don't even have the neccessary resources to support the entitlement state. You can't increase revenue by raising taxes. Increased revenue is what the entitlement state needs.
Saint Paul, MN
#6 Dec 6, 2012
No one single attack will reverse our situation. Therefore, we must approach it from ALL angles, including removal of TAX ENTITLEMENTS for the rich. Thank you.

How much of the Money you receive from the Government are you Entitled to keep?
How much of the Money your neighbor earns, and the wealth she has amassed are you Entitled to?
How much Wealth that is not yours do you think should be taken from your Neighbor to make it "fair" for you Dependents?
I blame the Government Schools for the level of Ignorance you, and your Co-Dependents display.

If you want to be taken as anything more that the Dependent Illiterate Ignoramus that you are, maybe creating an actual response to the Points others make, that cause you discomfort, will give you some credibility.
Nah, just be the waste of humanity that you have chosen to be.
#11 Dec 6, 2012
The left just has something wrong with their heads. They consider allowing people and business to keep more of their income to be the same as the government giving people money or services paid for by others. They consider those paying most of the income taxes in this country to not be paying their fair shares. They like to pretend that the rich not paying enough is why we are $16 trillion in debt.
#12 Dec 6, 2012
They're paying less than when we had a responsible budget and folks are making less money while the rich are hoarding and off-shoring it...Oddly, you're trying desperately to ignore reality, poor transparent headed moron ~! LMAOROTFU~!
#13 Dec 6, 2012
We have a Bingo!
It is the fault of the Government Schools.
The Sheeple BELIEVE that "allowing" a person that uses their life to acquire wealth through work are somehow greedy if they do not joyfully give up the fruits of thier Labor to the Dependent Sheeple that should, in a "Just" Society, be allowed to perish if they cannot beg for enough food from their neighbor to be sustained.
Drive this sucker over the Cliff!
It is time to properly "order" society and allow the Dependents to eliminate themselves, or become productive and useful!

During a speech in 1985, President Ronald Reagan said that a man who made a six figure income wanted to testify before congress to explain why he thought "paying a smaller tax" than his secretary was wrong. in 2011, President Barack Obama made the same argument about Warren Buffett's secretary.
"Just a few moments ago, I told some people inside the building here of a letter that I just received the day before yesterday. It's a letter from a man out here in the country, an executive who's earning in six figures -- well above $100,000 a year. He wrote me in support of the tax plan because he said,``I am legally able to take advantage of the present tax code -- nothing dishonest, doing what the law prescribes -- and wind up paying a smaller salary than my secretary gets -- or I mean, paying a smaller -- I'm sorry, paying a smaller tax than my secretary pays.'' And he wrote me the letter to tell me he'd like to come to Washington and testify before Congress as to how that's possible for him to do and why it is wrong."
The same year, 1985, President Reagan delivered another speech further expounding on the effects of loopholes that allowed the wealthy to pay little to no taxes.
President Reagan:
"We're going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that have allowed some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying 10 percent of his salary, and that's crazy. It's time we stopped it."

Why is so difficult for you to embrace your idiocy?
Even your cut/pastes are never relevant to any issue that you post them on.
As a Psychotic EVERYTHING you post is a "Defensive Reaction",(Google the expression!) and you use every one of the 12 or so Defenses defined by Professionals to identify Mentally Ill like you that know nothing but "Defensive Reactions".
Nothing you post has EVER had any value, and we are subjected to you working out your Uncle Daddy issues in public on this Forum, to the detriment of we the normal functioning Human Beings.
Isn't there a more appropriate Forum on the Internet for Sociopaths like you to do the "Uh Huh, Yup, Yup, Yup, Uh Huh" babble with others just like you? We know that you in the 10% Defective exist, and always will.
There must be a Home for Psychotics like you on the Internet someplace.
Would you like me to find a "Home" for you on the Internet where you can babble with your Co Defectives?
#18 Dec 6, 2012
Are you posting this because you agree with Romney and the republicans that we should be closing loopholes and not raising taxes?
P.S. How many millionaires pay nothing vs. those who pay 20%?
#19 Dec 7, 2012
Both dumb questions... Typical putz. The reality is the rich need to pay more or our system will fail.
Having TOO MUCH MONEY/POWER IN FEW HANDS KILLS DEMOCRACY.
#20 Dec 7, 2012
It seems to really disturb you that you have no excuse for your Bitter Victim, Sociopathic Defective Personality.
WE know that the despicable abusive nature you reveal all day every day, is a "Sexual Thing" for you, and that it is based on the fact that you are a Genetic Defective from an Unholy Coupling of a Brother and Sister.
When the Economic Collapse comes, you need to be placed into the gutter and allowed to perish. One of the Greatest Outcomes of the destruction that the Collectivists are bringing, is that Humanity will weed out trash like you, and repair the damage to humanity that sustaining you and yours has wrought.
WE are grateful that as a Hermaphrodite, you cannot contaminate the Gene Pool with your Defects.
Thank goodness for this minor blessing.
#22 Dec 7, 2012
If all the fiscal cliff raises and cuts happen we will still be a trillion in the red next year. As the Obama tax cuts will most likely be extended it is projected to be closer to 1.4 tillion. Just how much do you want to raise taxes on the rich to close that gap?

Nomura: BOJ to remain on hold
According to strategists at Nomura, we should expect the BOJ to keep its policy unchanged at the meeting on Thursday.
"While Q3 growth has slowed from the first half of this year, the Bank is likely to remain optimistic on the economic outlook. The Bank just released its semi-annual outlook report on 31 October, in which it expects 2.7% growth for the financial year 2013. The Bank also forecasts inflation to reach 1.9% in financial year 2015, what is much more optimistic than private forecasters expect", Nomura economists explain.
"Recent rises in the Nikkei and USD/JPY also reduce the likelihood of a near-term easing. Japanese inflation has been improving, while inflation pressures are decreasing in the major advanced economies. In fact, Japanese headline CPI inflation is now higher than the eurozone's CPI inflation and US PCE inflation, while the core measure of Japan still lags behind the eurozone and US."
Analysts conclude that the impact of the BOJ's decision this week on FX will likely be small. However, they add that further easing is still likely next year, especially after the scheduled tax hike next April.

Lenovo's Persistent PC Strategy in India
For Lenovo (992:HK), the global narrative is close to "Mission Accomplished." The company used to trail far behind market leaders Hewlett-Packard and Dell, but is now on track to achieve its goal of becoming the world's largest PC vendor. According to Gartner, the Chinese company is already there, having passed HP in the third quarter with a 15.7 percent share of global PC shipments. Rival research firm IDC says there's still a little way to go, with Lenovo and HP neck-and-neck.
Once Lenovo does get to the top, what next? Being No.1 in the PC business right now is a bit of a tarnished prize because the PC industry is struggling to withstand the transformation of the electronics industry wrought by Apple's iPad and other tablets, as well as Apple's iPhone and other smartphones. What's a PC company to do?
One answer: Look to India and other emerging markets. PCs may seem a slow-growth business in developed markets, but Amar Babu, managing director of Lenovo's India business, says he still sees opportunities in developing countries such as India, whose PC penetration is low. Indians still want to buy computers, says Mumbai-based Babu. Only 8 percent or 9 percent of Indians own PCs, a tiny figure when you consider that the penetration rate in developed countries is about 10 times larger.
You might think this would create an opportunity for tablets, with Indian consumers leapfrogging to a more advanced technology and skipping the one in the middle. That's what happened in telecom, with millions of Indians who never had land lines finally getting connected via cell phones. But Babu says that is not going to happen with computers. "The PC is still the choice for first device, not a tablet," he says. That's because a tablet can't match a PC when it comes to creating content, with its larger screen size; a lot of these applications are still used for education, he says. "People still feel comfortable having the PC as their first device."
Lenovo is already the top PC vendor in India, with 17.1 percent of the market in the second quarter, according to IDC statistics. HP was well behind, at 13.7 percent. Babu has plans to keep Lenovo on top, despite the growth slowdown in the Indian economy. The PC market in India last year grew at about an 8 percent clip, he says—not bad when compared to the West, but Lenovo and other PC vendors had become accustomed to growth rates between 15 and 25 percent. "There has been an impact of the slowdown," says Babu, "in all segments of the market."
The picture for this year is even worse, with Babu seeing flat growth. However, the Lenovo executive is optimistic that the economic reforms announced by the government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, starting in September, will help give a boost to the PC market next year. In the meantime, Lenovo is pushing ahead with plans to further establish itself with Indian consumers. In the past 18 months, the company has signed exclusive deals with 1,000 electronics retailers across the country, and Babu expects to add a further 400 in the fiscal year ending in March 2013. Lenovo is now in 650 Indian cities.
While Babu says he's confident that Indians aren't giving up on PCs, Lenovo isn't taking any chances. The company is starting to sell five Lenovo-branded smartphones in India. Lenovo has become a major player in the Chinese smartphone business, but this will be the company's first move into India's telecom market. The company will sell phones at prices that start at $120 and then rise as high as $500 models. While there are over 900 million cell-phone numbers in India (many Indians have multiple SIM cards for their phones, so it's hard to know the actual number of cell-phone users), there are only 18 million smartphones, according to Babu. "We believe there is a huge opportunity for smartphones," he says. "The whole smartphone revolution is picking up as we speak."

The Backbone Of The U.S. Army's Tactical Network
The General Dynamics Mission Systems-built Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) delivers voice and data communications wherever and whenever our soldiers need them without the need for fixed infrastructure.
An essential utility and modernization priority for America's Army as it deploys to many locations and many environments across the world, WIN-T gives the Army adaptable voice and data services to help soldiers accomplish their missions.
WIN-T Increment 1: Communications At The Halt
Originally known as the Joint Network Node Network (JNN-N) program, WIN-T Increment 1 began fielding in 2004 to support combat missions during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. With WIN-T Inc. 1, for the first time in history, the soldiers in the battlefield had a high-speed, interoperable voice and data communications network down to the battalion level. Fielding of WIN-T Inc. 1 was completed to the U.S. Army, National Guard and Reserves in June 2012.
Similar to most Americans' Internet connections at home, but with added security and the ability to network in the most remote environments, WIN-T Inc. 1 provides the U.S. Army's tactical force with secure high speed, high capacity voice, data and video communications "at-the-halt" – granting soldiers the ability to quickly communicate with their operations center.
WIN-T Inc. 1 is currently in use by soldiers in the Army, National Guard and Army Reserves. WIN-T Increments 2 and 3 build on the capabilities of Inc. 1 with on-the-move networking and further security, bandwidth and connectivity.
WIN-T Increment 2: Communications On-The-Move
The 10th Mountain Division was the first to have this new capability when it deployed for Afghanistan in July 2013. WIN-T Inc. 2's unique value was immediately recognized, as it provided soldiers with communications even as fixed infrastructure was removed.
On-The-Move: The tactical communication nodes in Inc. 2 are the first step to providing a mobile infrastructure on the battlefield. Consisting of mobile points of presence systems (installed on select vehicles at battalion levels and above, which include four companies of up to 200 soldiers and about 10 to 30 vehicles each), vehicle wireless packages, and the soldier network extension (for Company-level connectivity).
Increment 2 enables mission command from brigade to division to company through a completely ad-hoc, self-forming network. Commanders and select staff now have the ability to maneuver anywhere on the battlefield and maintain connectivity to the network, without the need to stop and set up communications, making them vulnerable to attack.
WIN-T Increment 3: Research And Development
Increment 3 (Inc. 3) is the research and development component of the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) program. Its mission is to continually build on and improve the full WIN-T portfolio, ensuring the network keeps pace with advancements in technology and security while providing our soldiers with access to timely, relevant and actionable information.
WIN-T Inc. 3 advancements simplify WIN-T "network operations" for greater soldier utility and ease of use. And as threats within cyber space continue to evolve and grow, Inc. 3 ensures the entire WIN-T portfolio remains cyber secure with ongoing upgrades and development of Type 1 encryption for the network.
WIN-T Inc. 3 will also expand the reach of the network to provide a fully mobile and flexible tactical networking capability needed to support a highly dispersed force over isolated areas. This is especially important as the Army transitions to a faster, leaner force to handle future threats and missions across the globe.
With continued network enhancements, Inc. 3 provides a leap forward in network capacity, as well as improvements to the overall reliability and robustness of the network.

Imagine? Police Command Claim They Can't Identify the Officer That Killed Old Man In Gutter, In Viral Video
By Sugar Daily 2 2016-11-04T08:34:00+01:00 Sad Stuff
Controversy has continued to trail the death of a 65-year-old man, who was pushed into a gutter at Airport bus stop in Ikeja, Lagos.
The state police command said it was studying a video clip of the incident to identify the policemen who perpetuated the act, adding that it had yet to ascertain where the victim's corpse was taken to.
But eyewitnesses said the victim's corpse was taken away by policemen, who came in a patrol van.
Two policemen had on Wednesday, October 26, allegedly chased a commercial (danfo) driver to the area.
Punch Metro reports that the old man was waiting at the bus stop to board a bus en route to Iyana Ipaja when the cops pushed him into the gutter in an attempt to apprehend the driver.
One of the policemen was said to have fled the scene immediately he sighted blood gushing out from the victim's head. The other cop was, however, caught by an angry mob, who beat him up.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said efforts were ongoing to identify the two policemen and the formation to which they belonged.
She said, "We are still investigating and exploring the video. We are studying the video to ascertain if the (uniformed) man is actually a policeman and to ascertain where he is serving.
"We are investigating the case itself to ascertain what occurred. Members of the public should rest assured that if any policeman or policemen are found culpable, they will be dealt with."
An eyewitness, who identified himself simply as Kazeem, however, said policemen were at the scene to rescue the two cops, as well as to take the corpse of the victim away. He added that the state police command should not sweep the matter under the carpet.
He said, "I learnt the policemen flagged the danfo driver down at the Oshodi area, but he refused to stop. The policemen chased the driver from Oshodi in another bus. When he stopped at the Airport bus stop for a passenger to disembark, the policemen also got to the bus stop and ran after him. Out of desperation to catch up with the driver, they pushed the elderly man into the drain. The man should be in his late 6os. His corpse was later removed by a police team on patrol. The police authorities will know the policemen that pushed the elderly man."
A trader at the bus stop, Angela Henry, said the elderly man,bled for about 30 minutes before he died.
"The deep cut he had in the head made him to lose a lot of blood. Instead of the crowd to take him to a hospital, they forced the policeman into the drain and told him to carry the man. As he struggled to carry the old man, they attacked him with all kinds of objects. He was covered in blood," she added.
Another eyewitness, Robiu Adedeji, also said a police team later came to the scene of the incident.
He said, "The second policeman came back to the scene in mufti, thinking that nobody would recognise him. The driver of the bus used for the illegal operation pointed at him and people descended on him too. A police team came in a van and rescued them (the two cops) from the mob. They also took the corpse of the victim away."

Chapter 18
At school, I was slightly happier than I had been the previous two days. My teachers kindly gave me longer to do my homework so I could sort myself out and my friends no longer looked so concerned, although no one really knew what was happening in my life and just reacted to how I behaved. Henry, who had worn a ghost of a smile yesterday now looked shocked. It seemed to be a reaction to my smile and he confronted me at break with a look of despair in his eyes.
"Why are you happy?!" he asked.
"Am I not allowed to be?" I asked, annoyed and indignant.
"No, because if you're happy, something's gone terribly wrong."
"Well, thanks for your concern about my welfare!"
"Harriet, what happened?"
"I don't think I have to tell you."
"I think you do. I did what I did on Tueday to protect you!"
"Well, some protection it was. It opened my mind to the evil of the world and tainted my perspective. I reckon I'm far less optimistic than I was before."
"It was for your own good!"
"But I felt terrible."
"You were so much better off. Tell me what happened."
"Will you leave me alone?"
I was surprised by how much he wanted to know.
"Right, I had to tell your brother I didn't love him, as you know. Then, the following evening, he came to my house and undid what you did. Now, I'll admit I don't love him as much as I did that night but he's still the one I'm considering spending my life with."
"Oh no! But wait! How did you feel about him hypnotising you?"
"As I said, I don't love him as much."
"But you hated me."
"You really exploited your powers over me. Arthur used his powers to make me have beautiful dreams."
Henry looked appalled. "But that's accessing your deeper thoughts! He could change your personality during a dream suggestion! That's so much worse than anything I did, except the last thing which I hate myself for."
"It felt nice," I said. "And now I've told you what happened, will you leave me alone?"
"Yes, but it's your own fault if you end up Arthur's slave. You want me to stop protecting you? Fine, I will. I wash my hands of you, Harriet: you just won't listen to reason."
"Fine," I said. "See if I care. I'll be so much happier without you! And I don't care for your protection when you think it's better if I'm destroyed."
I walked away leaving Henry looking angry.
I never realised he'd influenced her dreams! He's meant to have more sense than me, being older, but he's an idiot. I hate him, I really do!
What did I say to Harriet? I was so angry ... Did I tell her I wouldn't protect her anymore? Oh no... She's going to expect me to keep that promise... What have I done?
It didn't pay off... I induced the most binding, most traumatic in terms of life experiences trance in the book and it was all for nothing. The torture, Harriet's pain, the end of my life... all suffered but without any impact whatsoever. I didn't realise Arthur would manage to undo it... He must have really bound her tightly to his will when he hypnotised her. He was right... My life has no meaning.
But I knew that, already. I knew my life meant nothing at all from the point at which Harriet kissed me. I've been dead all that time. I feel like a ghost; in fact, I am a ghost. The ghost of Henry Mesmerising which treads the earth, a tortured soul and a haunted spirit. It's like the horror stories Jack is so into. But it's real.
How could I forget, for even a second, the blackness of Henry's heart? He's dead. His life ended when he said, "Your will is mine."
The following day, Henry was depressed again.
On Saturday morning, I strolled out to the park. Arthur met me there and wordlessly led me over the bridge at the lock and through the meadow, through a forest, past streams, until, half an hour later, we arrived at a beautiful mansion in the middle of a field. The house was tall, white and magnificent with about six windows on each of its three floors.
I stopped, stunned by how open and inviting it looked. I followed Arthur up to the door, expecting him to knock since a house this grand would surely be more his parents' than his own but he pushed open the giant oak door and stepped inside. I was trailing behind him nervously but he rubbed my shoulder and said, "Welcome to Mes. Mansion."
"Give it its proper name," said a young man who was hurrying down the stairs. He had the usual shock of black hair and dancing indigo eyes. He stopped before us and looked at Arthur expectantly.
"Come on, Elizabeth's waiting," he said impatiently.
"I don't want her to fall asleep," Arthur murmured.
"I'm sorry, but I could have just sworn you disobeyed me."
"We're not under your thumb, Andrew."
"Oh, really?"
He looked straight into Arthur's eyes. Arthur lowered his head.
"No, don't give in to him!" I shouted.
Andrew gazed at me, looking disapproving.
"He'll do what I say."
"Why? Because you can't stand it when someone defies you? You're so bos"-
Arthur looked shocked and clamped a hand over my mouth.
"She doesn't mean it, Andrew," he said hurriedly. "Er, Harriet, this is Mesmer..."
I didn't hear the rest of it as I fell asleep.
I awoke to find Andrew smiling. "That's better. I don't like abbrieviations when we're in such a noble house."
He strode off, shouting, "Liza, dear!"
"Who does he think he is?!" I asked annoyed.
Arthur sighed. "He's the most powerful hypnotist in this house and he knows it. He's also totally cold and unforgiving except towards his fiancée who he absolutely adores. His love for her is the strangest thing."
"He's going to get married?!" I asked, shocked.
Arthur nodded. "He proposed to Elizabeth on her birthday."
"Who could love him?"
"I told you that she dislikes him. She hates the way he controls us, just the way you do, but when Andrew looks at you with utter love in his eyes, you totally forget everything else."
"Poor girl."
Just then, a tall, striking girl with a slender figure and long, gorgeous blonde hair which flowed around her strode across the hallway before us.
"I wish you wouldn't control people like that!" she yelled turning as Andrew walked towards her.
"Liza, darling, other people don't matter," he said gently.
"I don't want your care for me to be exclusive! I've never wanted that. You annoy me so much."
Andrew calmly approached her, gazing into her eyes and looking like a totally different person from the one we'd seen only a few seconds ago.
"Should I take the ring off your finger then?" he asked sadly, looking at Elizabeth as if he were his everything and doing such a thing would break his heart.
Elizabeth sighed. "No, of course not."
Andrew took her hands in his and murmured, "The important thing in my life, the only important thing, is that you love me. Do you?"
"Yes, of course," she replied.
Andrew kissed her. They looked amazing together: Miss Beautiful-and-Stunning and Master Handsome-and-Dashing.
Andrew broke away and let go of one of her hands to caress her soft hair.
"I'm sorry," he said, "for being the flawed lover, the ruination of our love."
"No, that's not true."
I saw what he was doing. He was making her feel guilty for hating him. His words were sweet poison which she hung onto until she was responding in the exact way he wanted her to. Feeling slightly ill, I asked, "Can we go and see Matt?"
Arthur looked startled by my voice. He looked sympathetic at my face and led me up the main staircase to the first floor where the corridor was lined with soft blue carpet and the wallpaper was dark blue with black curving lines which formed the outlines of roses. He led me to the right and we'd just passed an open door on our left when I heard Henry shouting, "Harriet?"
He ran out of the room looking shocked. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'd forgotten that you lived here too," I said coldly. "I'm hanging out with Arthur. Do you have a problem with that? Oh wait, no you don't because you washed your hands of me."
"I said that?" Henry asked weakly.
I nodded. "And I was glad you did actually. I was starting to tire of you."
Henry looked disconsolate and wandered back to his room.
We continued down the passageway and stopped outside a closed door, from behind which was coming muffled laughter. Arthur knocked once.

Travel + Leisure lists Little Corn Island, Nicaragua as one of the "Best Places to Travel in 2014"
Travel + Leisure magazine has recently listed the one of Corn Islands in Nicaragua in Central America as one of the "Best Places to Travel in 2014". Little Corn Island is located 56 miles off Nicaragua's Caribbean coast and was highlighted for its fresh seafood, slow pace of life and breathtaking snorkelling beaches.
Nicaragua's Little Corn Island has been listed in Travel + Leisure magazine's "Best Places to Travel in 2014".
The island is one of the two Corn Islands located 56 miles off Nicaragua's Caribbean coast and it was highlighted for its fresh seafood, laidback lifestyle, and stunning snorkelling beaches.
Travel + Leisure' magazine's Jason Harper commented:
"The fresh lobster is cheap; the hammocks, plentiful; the pace, blissfully slow. This snack-bite-size island (it's just over one square mile) located 56 miles off Nicaragua's coast is easily walkable or bikeable by trail, making it a breeze to get to snorkelling beaches such as Cocal."
Harper went on to add that the new Yemaya Island Hideaway and Spa on the island has "16 ocean-facing cabanas sandwiched between two stretches of sand, and a.m. yoga sessions...if you're up".
Little Corn is car-less and visitors can hike through the dense tropical jungle, snorkel in turquoise crystal clear waters, relax on unspoiled white sand beaches, or savour the delicious freshly-caught seafood cuisine.
Great Corn is the larger of the two Corn Islands and has hiking trails, rolling hills, scuba diving hotspots, seafood restaurants, and Picnic Beach with sugar-soft white sand and gentle rolling waves. Tourists can reach Little Corn Island in less than an hour via a boat or ferry trip.
Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America and boasts coastlines on the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, making it a popular destination for surfing and tropical holidays. The colonial cities of Granada and Leon are leading tourist attractions with historic churches and museums, while the Corn Islands on the Caribbean side are a favourite for travellers seeking beach and nature escapes. The country was recently listed in the "Best Value Destinations" category in Lonely Planet's "Best in Travel 2014".
Miami, Uruguay, Santa Marta in Colombia, Playa Carrizalillo in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil were all highlighted among Travel + Leisure magazine's list of top places for 2014.

Enjoying some time overseas, Salma Hayek was spotted at the Welcome Lunch of the 2010 Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Doha, Qatar today (October 26).
Joined by H.E. Sheikh Jabor Bin Yousuf Al Thani, the "Desperado" dame looked lovely in a conservative blue dress with black heels.
They've been living it up during this year's Paris Fashion Week and Salma Hayek along with husband Francois-Henri Pinault were spotted heading to a runway show on Tuesday evening (October 5).
The "Grown Ups" actress and her PPR CEO mate looked to in good spirits as they arrived ahead of the Alexander McQueen Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2011 show.
She's always on the lookout for the hottest styles, and earlier today (October 4) Salma Hayek was spotted at the Stella McCartney Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show.
The "Desperado" actress was joined by her husband Francois-Henri Pinault as she mingled with guests including Liv Tyler as part of Paris Fashion Week at Opera Garnier.
She's always been a lover of fashion, and Salma Hayek was spotted leaving the Balenciaga Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2011 show in Paris, France on Thursday (September 30).
The "Bandidas" babe was looking sharp as she walked out of the show hand-in-hand with hubby, Francois-Henri Pinault.

RADIO 1 star Reggie Yates and presenter Holly Willoughby have been revealed as
the hosts of new BBC1 talent contest The Voice.
The singing show uses 'blind auditions' to assess wannabes so they are judged
solely on their voice, rather than their looks or stage performance.
It is hoped the programme will rival ITV1's The X Factor.
Singer Jessie J, 23, is the only name to have been confirmed so far for the
panel of celebrity coaches.
The format has already been a hit in a number of countries including the US
where Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green are mentors.
Other names which have been linked to the UK version include Lenny Kravitz,
Sir Tom Jones and Kylie Minogue.
Reggie, who lends his vocals to kids' show Rastamouse, said: "I'm so delighted
to get this job and be part of such a credible music show."
This Morning's Holly said: "I'm so excited to be hosting The Voice.
"When it launched in America I watched one of the shows and thought it
was just a fantastic format, and when I heard it was coming to the UK I
thought to myself how incredible it would be to be a part of it."
Holly is being replaced as a presenter on Dancing On Ice by Christine

Living - Way, Truth, Life (5 of 9) by Kenton Beshore
This content is part of a series.Living - Way, Truth, Life (5 of 9)
Series: The Most of My Life
Kenton Beshore
Reverend: If you want to be involved in something like this is someday this life is going to end and you're going to stand in eternity and looking back, this is going to be one of the best investments that you can make. And really, the only way you can ever make sense of this life is to start with eternity and look back. And that's what I want to talk to you about this morning.
Jesus talked to people in His day and He created defining moments. Do you know what a defining moment is? A defining moment is when you are faced with a truth. You just know it's true. Intuitively, you know it to be true. And at that moment it becomes a defining moment because you have a choice. You can embrace the truth and change or you can ignore the truth. But whatever you do, there's going to be serious consequences.
Defining moments in life sound like this: The wife comes in to a husband, looks at the husband and says, if you don't change I'm out of here. And at that moment, the husband has heard it before but he realizes that she is dead serious. And he can embrace that truth and say I need to get some help and I need to make some changes or he can stay on the same road that he has always been on and ignore it. But it's going to have huge consequences. It's a defining moment.
Another defining moment is when parents all of a sudden find out something about their kids that they didn't think was happening. All of a sudden, there's a reality, a truth, and something's different than they thought. They can embrace that and act on it or then can ignore it and it becomes a defining moment. People all of a sudden realize there's a substance in their life, or there is an addiction, pornography or something, and it's got control of their soul. And they're aware that they are absolutely incapable of breaking this control. They can embrace that and do something about it and change or they ...

Feigning Free Speech on Campus - NYTimes.com
Jared Sperli stashed this in education
Stashed in: Courage, Education!
Elsewhere, rules that aim for inclusiveness do more to confuse students than to encourage debate. Earlier this year, Vanderbilt prohibited student groups (if they wished to receive university support and financing) from barring students from leadership positions based on their beliefs. The apparent goal was to prevent evangelical Christian groups from excluding gay students from leadership positions — but the policy also means that a Democrat could be elected as an officer of the College Republicans.
A 2010 study by the American Association of Colleges and Universities of 24,000 college students and 9,000 faculty and staff members found that only 35.6 percent of the students — and only 18.5 percent of the faculty and staff — strongly agreed that it was "safe to hold unpopular positions on campus."
For reasons both good and bad — and sometimes for mere administrative convenience — colleges have promulgated speech codes that are not only absurd in their results but also detrimental to the ideals of free inquiry. Students can't learn how to navigate democracy and engage with their fellow citizens if they are forced to think twice before they speak their mind.
It's depressingly easy to get people to give up their constitutional rights.

Troubled former Major League Baseball player Elijah Dukes has been arrested again, this time on drug charges. Tampa police say the 27-year-old was arrested during a traffic stop early Thursday after officers noticed a small bag of marijuana on his lap. Authorities say he then tried to stick the drug in his mouth as if he were going to ingest it. They also noticed a marijuana cigarette tucked behind his ear. The former outfielder for the Tampa Bay Rays and the Washington Nationals faces charges of tampering with physical evidence, possession of marijuana and possession of a drug. He's being held on $4,750 bail at the Hillsborough County Jail. It's unclear whether he's retained an attorney. Dukes has been arrested five times in the past year, mostly on driving offenses.

Trust should not be in my dictionary
"So, do you trust me yet?"
"How do you know my parents?"
Stern smiled at this.
"I work with them."
I looked at him closely as he said this and after doing so, I started to walk up to his car. Stern smiled again. This was starting to give me the creeps; he seems to smile to everything I do or say. I let that thought fish its way to the back of my brain. I have more important things to think about.
I walked up to the left-hand side of the car and just stood there.
I waited till Stern saw what I was doing. He smiled again and opened the door for me.
The whole journey to wherever we were going, I saw more and more of Stern; the way he spoke made me feel secure like I was with close relatives and the way he looked at me, it made me feel important…no, it made me feel acknowledged, I don't normally get that impression when I'm around people who are older than me.
Stern cut off the ignition and turned to me. His facial expressions changed. He looked at me in such a way… it looked like he wanted to eat me, no it looked like he wanted something from me and he was DYING for it.

Paracord grab handles!
2 Attachment(s)
Ok I know there are other post on these awesome paracord grab handles but I just wanted to show you all mine that I made! They turned out great and save me close to 100 bucks. You can buy these from a guy who makes them online called surprisestraps or you can do like I did, buy the paracord on eBay...cheap, and make them yourself. Tell me what you think.
Nice! :)
These are awesome. About how long does it take to make one?
20 minutes each they are real easy to make just Tara a little time not bad. Go to YouTube and look up how to make jeep paracord grab handles, and there is a great vid showing how to make them.
Thanks man. They look difficult to make due to how well they turned out, but I'll take that as you have a very skilled hand! Will tackle this weekend.
It looks difficult but it's really not, just watch the video and once you get the pattern down, it's called a cobra weave, you'll make these in no time!
I was bored last night so I started practicing. It really is quite easy once you get the hang of it. I didn't have any paracord so I just used some polypropylene rope. I don't even necessarily know what I'll do with what I made but I'm pretty confident when I pick up some paracord it will be easy:)
Attachment 245886
I made a set for myself too. Instead of a string loop for the front ones I did a full grab handle and wrapped it around.
Works good with soft top, a bit too thick with hard top. I am going to make a second set over summer with a single row of braiding instead of double to use for the loops.
Anyways this looks hard but isn't and is a lot of fun. I found the worst part was the trial and error for sizing.
I tried going round the roll bar up front with the braided paracord but it sagged to much so I took it off and and did the string to get the snugg fit. But either one looks good
What's the difference between "string" loop and full grab handle? Is it explained in the video?
If you look at my picture, the handle in the front of the jeep has just a string going around the rollbar. You have the option to do that or make the braided part that can go around the roll bar. I just used a string for 1) saves paracord string and 2) gives it a snug fit around the bar.
These are not stretchy at all. When buying these, make sure you get the 550 paracord straps. The 550 means it can hold up to 550 lbs. these are used by the military as parachute straps. That's where the para comes from, so yes it will definitely hold you if your not over 550, no offense if you are... But they are super tough
The reason I know this because I'm in military now an use these all the time ;)
Those look great. Thanks for the link, I think I may give it a try. Nice thing is that you will always have some paracord available in case of an emergency.
They look great, good job!

From my collection, I bought this ring in London during the 1980s. It has the classic simplicity of the late Georgian period. The stone is a tourmaline (10mm by 12mm). It is as deep as the pyramidal surround, almost 1/4". The face of the ring is 3/4" at its widest. The sides are beautifully decorated. The ring measures 6 1/4" on my mandrel. Marked 333 for 8K gold. The stone tested as tourmaline with my Presidium electronic gem tester. This is a lovely ring. The scratches are light and cannot be felt. Barely noticeable.

I'm sorry, but goodbye ...
I opened my eyes. How long had I been asleep? I had no idea what was going on on the bus ... by the position of the sky, I'd estimate that I was asleep for what my mother used to called 156 'chapters' of my life.
Everything was just getting too weird for me. I hardly recognised anyone, because they all looked so different. Was there anybody here that I even knew?
Yes - I saw Meggie. Was it my imagination, or had she changed slightly? I ignored that and gathered up my bags, heading towards her.
"I'm sorry, Meggie, but I have to get out of here. I can't cope any more." My hair was messed up from sleeping on the seat all this time and I knew I looked like a stoner: my eyes were so bloodshot and swollen.
"Jenny, you can't go!" she said. "What you planning to do? Abandon me?"
"I'm sorry, but I really ... Sorry ... goodbye ..."
The bus stopped - I don't even know if it was for me - and I headed down the steps.
Before I left I turned and gave Beth a five pound note. Perhaps she deserved more, but I was skint
"Goodbye, Meggie ... I'm sorry ..."

The National Guard has been sent to Charlotte, North Carolina, after the second night of protests over a police shooting turned violent. Avengers director Joss Whedon has launched a star-studded super PAC to get Americans to vote — and ~not~ for Donald Trump. And Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, want to basically end disease by 2100.
North Carolina's governor has declared a state of emergency after one person was shot during protests over the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott.
One person was on life support after being shot — the shooting involved civilians and no police officers fired their weapons — in uptown Charlotte on Wednesday. It happened during the second night of protests over the death of 43-year-old Scott on Tuesday.
Here's what we know about how the Charlotte police department has responded to past shootings and criticisms of police violence in black communities.
A seriously wounded protester is carried into the parking area of the the Omni Hotel. Brian Blanco / Getty Images / Via wsoctv.com
A bit of background
Charlotte police said Scott was armed with a handgun when confronted by an officer outside an apartment complex Tuesday, disputing claims from family members that he was holding a book.
"Officers were giving loud, clear verbal commands. The suspect exited the vehicle with a handgun, threatening officers," Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney said.
The US presidential election.
The internet's domain naming system is a 2016 campaign issue somehow: Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz see eye to eye on at least one issue — blocking the long-planned transfer of the internet's technical management to an international body.
Ready or not, here it comes: Hillary Clinton and Trump will surely clash on immigration at Monday night's debate. A path to citizenship vs. a wall, further executive actions vs. millions of deportations — here's what activists and advocates on both sides are looking for.
Birther movement: Trump said he changed his position on President Barack Obama's place of birth because he just wanted "to get on with the campaign."
Celebs getting into the game: Avengers director Joss Whedon has launched a star-studded super PAC to get Americans to vote — and not for Donald Trump. (Watch the video here.)
Brent Brown wants to build America's next great family entertainment franchise…
...but his investors want to know where their $100 million went.
Between late 2008 and early 2016, Brown raised a fortune for a concept called Latitude 360. More like an entire block of a college town than a restaurant, each Latitude venue contained a large bowling alley, movie theater, comedy venue, video game arcade, event space, bar, full-service restaurant, and humidors for cigar smokers.
But Latitude collapsed this year. The Jacksonville and Indianapolis locations closed on the same day in January; Pittsburgh closed in March. Latitude's stock — which had gone public less than two years prior and risen as high as $3 per share — soon went to $0. Matt Stroud has the story for BuzzFeed.

NY/NJ bombings: A bloody notebook found on suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami suggests he was inspired by terror groups al-Qaeda and ISIS. And the FBI are looking for two individuals who inadvertently found an unexploded pressure cooker bomb that was planted by Rahami.
Impact: Two Maryland lawmakers have called for an outside audit of the way the Baltimore County Police Department handle rape cases after a BuzzFeed News investigation.
The end of disease? Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, said they're investing $3 billion to help an all-star team of engineers and scientists search for breakthroughs and develop tools to tackle common diseases. The ultimate goal? "Cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the century." (No big deal.)
LGBT news: A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging North Carolina's law that lets court magistrates recuse themselves from performing marriages — a policy passed one month before the Supreme Court's widely anticipated decision in 2015 legalizing same-sex marriages nationwide.
Anthony Weiner: The disgraced former New York congressman apologized Wednesday after a media outlet reported he had sent lewd messages to a 15-year-old girl.
- The end of Brangelina: Brad Pitt is under investigation for alleged child abuse, TMZ is reporting. French actor Marion Cotillard addressed rumors by saying she's pregnant, but not with Pitt's baby. And Angelina Jolie and Pitt's wax figures in Madame Tussauds in London have been separated.

Japonaise Bakery Closed; It's Back To Cream Pan and Cream Pan Alone
Edwin Goei
Fellow OC food bloggers Julian Hsu and Melissa clued me in to a recent development in Old Town Tustin. Japonaise Bakery & Cafe, which was what beloved hole-in-the-wall bakery Cream Pan expanded and grew up into February of last year, has now folded, ceding its space to a planned noodle shop (which is actually good news, in my opinion).

text: Market-driven American fare with Italian influences is brought to new heights at this deceptively simple-looking restaurant in South Slope, a nascent enclave bordering Windsor Terrace. Chef Scott Bridi (ex–Gramercy Tavern) lovingly teases out maximum flavor from cuts of meat, passing on the value to customers. For instance, there's a beautiful dish called "Neck Three Ways," which includes house-cured pork coppa and lamb coppa as well as slowly braised duck neck served in the style of rillettes. The broad, glossy bar is the place to sink your teeth into a braised beef sandwich with Italian-style salsa verde and pickled red onions. Never fear, vegetarians—there are lots of vegetables and a meatless pasta here, too.
